Chapter 278: Words Stir Up

After seeing the ceremony, Concubine Jiang led Lin Yuan to the room prepared for her.

"See, like? What is needed just say. Concubine Jiang pulled Lin Yuan and said.

Lin Yuan looked around the room, there was everything in it, there was a sewing basket at the head of the bed, and most of the furniture in the house was new, which showed that Concubine Jiang had put a lot of thought into it.

She smiled affectionately and narrowed her eyes, "I like it, Niangniang is so thoughtful, what is missing?" She looked back at Qiao Yihuan, "By the way, Niangniang, I'll make some rose cakes, you can taste them." ”

Concubine Jiang showed a look of surprise, "Really?" Then I'll have to taste it. With that, she pulled Lin Yuan to sit down in the room.

Ji Zongyu didn't need to be invited to sit down.

Qiao Yihuan took out the rose crisp from the food box he had been carrying.

Concubine Jiang was not polite, and she didn't mind that this was food from outside the palace, so she reached out and pinched a piece.

"Well, yes, this sweetness is not quite the same as what is made in the palace." Concubine Jiang was a little puzzled, "What is this adding?" ”

"Milk. I thought it was too sweet, so I put less sugar and added some milk to it. Lin Yuan explained.

Concubine Jiang nodded and praised, "What a good girl with a clever heart." ”

"That's not it, Yuanyuan cooks a must, just let her cook it for you for lunch." Ji Zongyu ate rose crisp in his mouth, and did not forget to interject to speak.

Concubine Jiang sneered, "How can there be a guest cooking, nonsense." ”

Lin Yuan hurriedly answered, "Niangniang." It doesn't matter, stir-frying two dishes is very fast. ”

Concubine Jiang shook her head, "You just follow him too much, this is not good, forget about lunch, I have already asked people to prepare, dinner, can you show your hand again for dinner?" ”

Lin Yuan couldn't help but feel a little shy on her face because of Concubine Jiang's previous words, and her voice was like a mosquito.

Concubine Jiang saw it in her eyes. There is a smile in my heart.

After that, Concubine Jiang asked Lin Yuan about Aunt Ye's pregnancy. After a few words of concern, he excused himself to go to Zhang Luo for lunch and prepared to go out. Before she got up, she heard a little eunuch outside raise her voice.

"The Queen Mother has arrived. Wen Guiren arrived. Chen Meiren arrived. ”

Concubine Jiang's expression tightened. Xiumei frowned, "Why did they come here?" As she spoke, she looked at Lin Yuan. You'll follow me later. ”

Lin Yuan nodded a little nervously. Speaking of which, she hasn't seen any other women in this palace yet. However, I heard that these women all eat people and do not spit out bones.

"Let them in." Concubine Jiang straightened up and walked outside. In the palace where there is no queen mother and queen mother, she is the highest-status woman in this palace.

"I've seen Concubine Jiang." The queen took the lead, and Wen Guiren and Chen Meiren followed and saluted.

"Let's all get up and sit down, why are you free today, are you all here?" Concubine Jiang smiled beautifully, but said unceremoniously. In fact, she doesn't need to be polite.

The queen sat down, covered her mouth and smiled, "Niangniang is really, we heard that Miss Lin is coming, so we came to take a look, how can you say that this is also a happy event for the Ji family, you don't want to hide it so much and hide it from us." ”

The queen is not young, but she speaks with a slightly soft voice, and with her face with heavy makeup, it is really a little unpleasant.

Concubine Jiang glanced at the queen, and then pulled Lin Yuan over, "This is Miss Lin." Yuanyuan, this is the queen, this is Wen Guiren, this is Chen Meiren, speaking of which, they will all be your sisters-in-law in the future. ”

Concubine Jiang specifically said that she was sister-in-law, which meant that Lin Yuan did not have to kowtow and kneel.

Lin Yuan followed Concubine Jiang's words, and bent down, "I've seen the queen mother, Wen Guiren, and Chen Meiren." ”

A hint of twist flashed in the queen's eyes, but she quickly covered up the past, she looked at Lin Yuan carefully and praised, "It's really a good look, no wonder the emperor would rather break his word than decide on this marriage." She is saying that the emperor has agreed to Ji Zongyu's resignation from Ma Qi, and now he has pointed to Lin Yuan, the daughter of a merchant.

"Where, Yuanyuan is just a little more upright, but fortunately, her mind is also right, and she even wins my heart." Concubine Jiang didn't understand the intention of the three queens to come over today, and she didn't answer the queen's words, so she said casually.

And Lin Yuan lowered her face appropriately, looking as if she was being praised for her shyness.

The queen came over today, firstly, it was instigated by Wen Guiren, saying that she was here to meet Lin Yuan herself, and secondly, she also had the intention of inquiry, she didn't understand, why the emperor pointed to Lin Yuan as Ji Zongyu's princess, Ji Zongyu's subtlety in the emperor's heart, she, the queen who has been with the emperor for the longest time, understands better than anyone else.

The queen had a plan in her heart, so naturally she would not stop, she asked again, "I heard that your Lin family is in Jinling, and this time you entered Beijing and lived in Pingbei Wangfu for a few days, and then moved out, where do you live now?" She had to think about whether there was anything else behind the Lin family.

Lin Yuan quickly thought about the wording in her heart, but heard Concubine Jiang answer for her, "The Lin family has bought another house, and it's not good to live in someone else's house." ”

"Yes." Lin Yuan responded.

Concubine Jiang's reply was so watertight that the queen's heart was very blocked, but she couldn't drag Lin Yuan to ask alone. Her position as the empress has become more and more unstable after the loss of her son, so what is the meaning of the emperor's every move, she will always try her best to figure it out, she must grasp the emperor's heart.

"I heard that Miss Lin is very prominent in Jinling, and it is no wonder that she has won the favor of the emperor and the concubine." Wen Guiren suddenly said delicately and weakly.

"Oh? It's no wonder. The queen smiled and didn't speak, as if she wasn't curious about what Lin Yuan was doing in Jinling. In fact, she naturally inquired about Lin Yuan's affairs in Jinling, but those limelights were not good, she didn't know why Wen Guiren was so abnormally poking people's wounds today, and it was better not to answer.

When Lin Yuan heard this, she couldn't help but look at Wen Guiren.

This Wen nobleman, she doesn't seem to have seen it, why is she so aggressive today?

Concubine Jiang's face also flashed a trace of gloom, and she replied tepidly, "How can the rumors in the market be taken seriously?" ”

"Wen Guiren rarely talks to others, and he doesn't know right from wrong." Ji Zongyu, who didn't speak after seeing the ceremony, also opened his mouth coldly.

Concubine Jiang glanced at Ji Zongyu with disgust, and pretended to complain, "Nonsense, how come you have learned to speak without words?" She was still scolding Wen Guiren.

Ji Zongyu responded with a smile, "I know, I won't in the future." ”

And Lin Yuan felt tired when she listened to their back and forth. She didn't think about why Wen Guiren would be like this, anyway, when she left the palace, she wouldn't see her again.

But who knows, Wen Guiren looked ashamed, "It's really strange to me for hearsay, and I still stained my mother's ears here, so I will make amends with tea instead of wine." As she spoke, she really raised the tea bowl in front of her and got up, as if she was not sitting solemnly enough.

She walked up to Concubine Jiang, "Niangniang, please atone for your sins." Then she walked to Lin Yuan's side again, bent over to salute, "Miss Lin, I'm sorry." ”

Lin Yuan subconsciously waved her hand to dodge, but then she heard an exclamation.

"Miss Lin, what are you pushing me for?!" (To be continued.) )
