concubines are respected

Chapter 90 Visit
The old matriarch's words were very cryptic, Su Xian chewed the meaning carefully, peeled off the official-sounding meaning of the words, and finally figured out a little bit of the meaning, thinking about the meaning of the old matriarch's words, even if she was elected as the prince concubine, He is also a member of the Lin family, everything must be in the interests of the Lin family...

Thinking of this, Suxian's mind moved slightly, her eyes showed a clear look, and she said to the old lady in a deep voice, "Xian'er will remember the old lady's teachings, old lady, don't worry, no matter where Xianer is, Xianer My son will always remember that he is a descendant of the Lin family, and everything will be done in the interest of the Lin family."

"Good boy, you are really transparent. You can understand my painstaking efforts. Your Aunt Yuan entered the palace with nothing to rely on in the early years. She struggled in the palace alone, and finally ascended to the position of imperial concubine, shining on me. The Lin family. But even though your Aunt Yuan is in a high position, she is weak and has no children to rely on, if you have the opportunity to enter the palace, you must watch and help your Aunt Yuan, and help each other."

As he said that, the old matriarch glanced at the jade ring tied around Suxian's waist with complicated eyes, and said meaningfully, "This buckle is of high quality and exquisite workmanship. It is a very beautiful accessory. If Xian'er likes to wear it next to her body That is, since Qian'er is so knowledgeable, I won't care about small things."

The old lady spoke softly and smiled to Suxian, but to Suxian's ears, these words were threats, naked threats.

The old lady knew the origin of Yukouer, but she not only refused to question her, but praised her for a while, and asked Suxian to carry it with her.It is clearly implying Suxian, Yukouer is your weakness, you need to always remember who is protecting you today and taking care of your face.If not, Yukouer is the evidence of crime that put you in a place of a thousand calamities.

Suxian smiled slightly, deliberately ignoring the deep threat hidden in the old lady's words, and said softly, "Don't worry, old lady, if Xian'er is lucky enough to enter the palace, she will take revitalizing the Lin family as her mission and do her best Assist the noble concubine Yuan, and protect the blessings of my Lin family."

"Good! Good! With your words, I feel relieved." The old lady was very comforted by Suxian's "sensibility", and the chrysanthemum color was blooming on her slightly wrinkled face, and she pulled Suxian's catkin Tapping again and again, it seems that they have already seen the bright future of Suxian and Concubine Yuan working together after entering the palace.

With the lessons learned from the second daughters Lin Xiqing and Lin Yinglu to protect her husband's family and put the interests of her mother's family behind her, Suxian's lack of affection for the fifth prince is more in line with the old matriarch's wishes.

What she wanted was not a concubine who was devoted to the fifth prince, but a pawn placed next to the fifth prince.

If this person is in harmony with the fifth prince and has a deep affection, and his wings will grow in the future, he will definitely not be in the same heart as Concubine Yuan, who secretly supports the third prince.

But it would be much easier if this person was sharing the same bed with the Fifth Prince.At that time, Concubine Yuan only needs to play the family card, and she can easily take it back for her own use. She will become a hidden nail in the fifth prince's pillow, and she will definitely make great contributions to the third prince's successful ascension to the throne in the future.

Ten thousand steps back, even if the third prince loses power to the fifth prince, but more truthfully, the fifth prince can be regarded as the son-in-law of the Lin family, so the Lin family is not at a disadvantage.

The old matriarch made an excellent move. No matter what the prospects are, the Lin family will always be in an invincible position.This is why she knew that Lin Suxian had a secret relationship with An Nanhou, but she still tried her best to protect it.

The grandparent and grandson looked at each other and smiled lightly, but they had different thoughts in their hearts. After chatting casually for a while, Suxian retreated.

Yi Yue Xuan

Suxian gently held the jade button, and briefly told Yanzi what happened in the old lady's room before.

Swallow is also clever, and after hearing it carefully, she also sensed the old matriarch's intentions, "Second miss, according to the current situation, imperial concubine Yuan is very close to the third prince, but the old matriarch intends to let you marry me. Fifth Prince, could it be that she meant..."

Suxian pursed her lips and smiled, rubbing the jade buttons on her palms, and took over the topic, "It seems that you also understand what the old lady means. Hehe, what is the candidate for the prince and concubine? It is clear that she wants to use this candidate. It's nothing more than putting eyeliner around the fifth prince. I have no virtue or ability, but the old matriarch caught my eye and did not hesitate to entrust me with a heavy responsibility..."

"No way, Second Miss, the old matriarch clearly wants to put you in the fire and water. If you really become the fifth concubine, it will be the rise and fall of the Lin clan on the one hand, and share the same bed with you on the other hand. Husband, how do you deal with yourself? Isn’t this a dilemma for you? If you care about the relationship between husband and wife, you are not filial to your natal family; The reputation of loyalty and unfilial piety is so difficult, what should you do, Second Miss?"

Yanzi was in a hurry, she never thought that the old matriarch would have such a plan, when she thought that the day of choosing a concubine was just around the corner, it was imperative for Suxian to be chosen, and given the affection the fifth prince had for Suxian before, it would be a big chance to be elected. Maybe, in that case, wouldn't the Suxian be roasted on the fire?

"Don't worry, maybe things will turn around." Suxian said softly, her eyes resting on the jade clasp in her hand for a long time.

"What a turning point, the emperor issued an imperial decree, you and the eldest lady are both on the list of concubines, and now it is inevitable!" Yanzi stamped her feet anxiously, "No one else knows the current situation, we are alone But I understand very well in my heart. The eldest lady is just going through the motions as a foil. In the heart of the old lady, you are the protagonist. You also said just now that Miss Biao intends to compete for the chance to be elected, but the old lady flatly rejected her. Refused. Here, where is the turning point?"

Rubbing the jade button back and forth with Suxian's fingertips, it emits a faint fragrance, which is refreshing to smell. Suxian takes a deep breath, and the pair of deep star eyes emerge in her mind, and the corners of her lips involuntarily raise a sweet smile. With a smile, he whispered like a dream, "I believe him..."

"Who do you believe?" Yanzi didn't know about An Nanhou and Suxian Xinglin's narration, and the secret gift of the jade buckle, so he couldn't help asking strangely, "Second Miss, can you understand what I just said?"

"Hehe, of course I understand. The old lady is betting my life's happiness with this move. How can I, Lin Suxian, be at the mercy of others like a puppet. There are still a few days before the selection of concubine, no hurry, no hurry." Suxian smiled lightly, tied the jade buckle back to her waist, picked up Biluochun, which had been left aside for a long time, and sipped lightly, her mouth full of fragrant tea echoed between her lips and teeth, Suxian's mood improved a lot for no reason.

At this moment, Cui Ya's voice sounded from the courtyard outside the room, "My maidservant greets Miss Biao."

"Your master is in the room. I have nothing to come here to talk to her." Zijuan's voice sounded in the courtyard.

Suxian frowned slightly, why is she here?

Yanzi also looked out through the window lattice unexpectedly, and said to Suxian, "Second Miss, it seems that Miss Biao is here for this matter. If you don't want to see her, the servant will stop her and say that you are in the middle of the afternoon. Take a nap, it's inconvenient to see guests."

"No need, let her in. If she wants to find me, she won't be able to hide." Suxian sat upright on the couch and said to Yanzi.

Yanzi nodded, raised her legs to welcome her out, and after a short while, she walked in with a purple silk with a bright face.

"Sister Zijuan, sit down and talk." Suxian greeted with a smile.

Zijuan didn't respond, she stepped forward and sat side by side with Suxian on the couch, glanced at the jade button tied around Suxian's waist, her disdain was fleeting, and then she changed into a shallow smile Meaning, "Sister Suxian, I was a little abrupt in visiting today, but I couldn't keep my mouth shut. There is no one else at the moment, we sisters can open the skylight and speak honestly, so as to clear up my confusion. "

"Sister Zijuan's meaning, Suxian doesn't quite understand." Suxian knew the meaning of Zijuan's words, but deliberately pretended to be stupid and said in a daze.

Zijuan was slightly annoyed, and wanted to have an attack, but took a deep breath, suppressing the resentment in her chest, and then a look of sadness flashed across her face, "Suxian, sister, let me just say it straight. Wuzhou, the land of Wuzhou, is not a person who is dedicated to climbing the dragon and the phoenix. The reason why I want to run for the fifth prince concubine is just to win the love of the fifth prince and have a chance to save my father."

Then he walked slowly to the nanmu flower vase at the door of the room, raised his hand and caressed the huge peony petals placed in the jade porcelain vase on the window sill, and said earnestly, "I know that Miss Suxian's heart is not on the fifth prince. In that case, you Why bother to join in the fun, it's better to give my sister a chance to save my father from the fire."

After finishing speaking, he paused for a moment, gave a good smile, and continued, "As for the words I told my grandmother before you and the man next to you in private, I blamed me for being confused for a while, and said stupid things that shouldn't be said. Sister Xian, don't argue with your elder sister."

It seems that Zijuan came here to curry favor and show weakness.Suxian said helplessly, "Sister Zijuan, Suxian can have the final say on the matter of being selected. Even if my sister wants to help you, she is powerless. I hope Sister Zijuan will forgive me."

Zijuan wanted to say something else, but Xiangcao's voice came from outside the room, "Second miss, I heard that there was news from the palace that my second son-in-law had been taken to the capital and personally testified against the uncle Guo's enclosure of land." , and also handed over several secret letters written by the uncle of the country. The emperor Longyan was furious, and he dismissed the post of the uncle of the country, and temporarily detained him in the Ministry of Punishment pending trial. And..."

While speaking, Xiangcao opened the brocade curtain and strode in. When she saw that there was still purple silk in the room, she immediately froze on the spot. Halfway through her words, she choked her mouth...

Although Vanilla's words were only half-spoken, Zi Juan heard the true meaning of the words, and her face changed drastically immediately, and she asked in a startled voice, "What, my father has been escorted to Beijing? When did it happen?"

When Xiang Cao got the news, she thought that there was no outsider in the room, so she said it in a hurry, when she entered the room and saw Zi Juan present, she stood aside a little awkwardly, and said in a low voice, "This... this... ··”

At this point, Suxian had no choice but to say in a low voice, "Second uncle has gone to Beijing, is this news reliable?"

"Back to Second Miss, the news is indeed reliable. Just now, the young servant in the front yard went out to buy things from the mansion, and after returning to the mansion, he talked with others, and the slave overheard it. This matter has spread throughout the entire capital right now, so it is not a secret..." Fortunately, this matter is not a secret. Everyone in Beijing knows about Uncle Guo's capsized boat.
