Chapter 260: Problems Continue

Lin Wanyan's grandfather's family in Shaojing is just a six-grade petty official family, and they took a fancy to Lin Wanyan's appearance, so they took the initiative to take Lin Wanyan, who lost her parents, back.

In fact, the family's idea was to send Lin Wanyan to the palace as a girl from the Lu family, so as to win their higher status.

As a result, the simple little girl was deceived and drugged in the end, and was sent to the palace for the family during the draft.

When the little girl came to her senses, she was already in the palace, and it was impossible to run.

Even if she didn't want to, how could her appearance escape the attention of Emperor Shaowen?

In the end, in order to protect her innocence, Lin Wanyan used a little cleverness. When others provoked her, she used the hairpin on the other party's head to scratch her left cheek and successfully planted it on the other party's head.

In this way, she not only eliminated her opponent without having to sleep, but also received a consoling reward and was promoted to a talented person.

Later, after Zhu Yonghong knew the truth, he had to do so many things for the camp step by step. It was also with the help of Zhu Yonghong that Lin Wanyan became a concubine step by step. From now on, there is no need to be oppressed in the harem.

Zhu Yonghong originally had no intention of marrying Feng, but since Zhu Yonghong went to visit the Marquis of Yong'an's mansion and was seen by Feng, he wanted to marry him.

In the end, the Yong'an Hou Mansion sent Feng Junting, the person who had the greatest affection for Zhu Yonghong, to say goodbye. In desperation, Zhu Yonghong met Feng in private, and told Feng that he already had a crush, and that he would only want that person in his life.

Feng stubbornly believed that as long as he adhered to Zhu Yonghong, he would definitely make Zhu Yonghong change his original intention in the future. In this way, Feng agreed to be Zhu Yonghong's nominal wife.

And Xu Yanrong is just a tool for Zhu Yonghong to enter and exit the Shao Palace more conveniently.

That's it, a person who originally only planned to get ahead and serve the country loyally embarked on the road of rebellion step by step.

But they really succeeded.

While accompanying Lin Wanyan to dinner, Wang Jibao kept answering some things raised by her mother-in-law about Zhu Linxi's childhood.

In fact, what happened to Zhu Linxi when he was a child was really lackluster. He has always been a good brother who takes care of her in front of Wang Jibao, and he is like a little adult with a deep city in front of outsiders. He was very hardworking and very intelligent. At a young age, he thought more about how to face his embarrassing identity in the future.

But in order to make her mother-in-law happy, Wang Xibao still racked her brains to come up with many interesting things about Zhu Linxi, which made Lin Wanyan happy.

After dinner, the two walked around their garden together before they went back to their own houses to do their own things.

Both of them picked up the dirty clothes they made for their husbands and sewed them to pass the time. This is also something that women who are used to getting married often do.

After waiting for most of the night, Zhu Linxi still didn't come back. Wang Jibao simply put down the work in his hand, washed up, and after lying on the bed and reading a book, Fang fell asleep alone.

When it was close to dawn, Zhu Linxi returned home with a tired body.

In order not to disturb Wang Jibao, he quietly asked people to prepare hot water, and first washed his body that still smelled of blood even after changing his clothes. Then, he went back to bed in the dormitory lightly.

was really tired, not only physically tired, but also mentally tired, Zhu Linxi held Wang Jibao in his arms, and fell asleep without even making a superfluous movement.

Wang Jibao just habitually found a comfortable position in her sleep, lay down in Zhu Linxi's arms, and continued to sleep peacefully.

It wasn't until dawn that Wang Jibao got up. As soon as he looked at the sunken pillow next to him, he knew that Zhu Linxi had returned, and it was estimated that he was gone again.

Wang Jibao and Zhu Linxi's pillows are not the kind of porcelain pillows or wooden pillows that people are used to nowadays, but are filled with japonica bran that she sent from Zhuangzi. This makes it much more comfortable to rest on your head than those hard pillows.

After Wang Jibao cleaned up herself, she went to say goodbye to Lin Wanyan first. This is also a matter discussed by the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Wang Jibao doesn't have to deliberately get up early to say goodbye in the future, and she doesn't have to arrive every day. As long as Wang Jibao has free time, she can go to see her mother-in-law. In addition, if Lin Wanyan wants to chat with Wang Jibao, she will also go to Wang Jibao's residence to find her.

In this way, neither of them is too deliberate or too restrained.

Lin Wanyan slept quite heavily last night, and she got up late this morning. It happened that the two of them didn't have breakfast, so they had a meal together.

Later, Wang Jibao returned to her study and began to make plans for the next few years.

Before, everything was still unknown, but now that the overall situation is almost decided, then many of her previous ideas can be slowly realized, and there are many things that need to be started.

In particular, there are still a lot of barren mountains and wastelands in her hands, and she must find someone to help her take a look at them as soon as possible, and she must start to transform them as soon as possible.

Shaoguo is vast and sparsely populated, and it is mountainous, which is a great flaw at present.

In Wang Jibao's cognition, the land here should be excellent, but it is not well developed. Just like the original Northeast, the original word was the so-called bitter cold land in ancient times, and no one wanted to live there, and no one wanted to develop the land there. It was often a place of exile for criminals. However, later, as the state invested a lot of people and funds to open up the wasteland, it eventually became the largest and best grain producing area in the country.

On the way to Shaojing, Wang Jibao and Zhu Linxi got out of the car and asked someone to dig the soil. Sure enough, underneath the desolate land was black dirt. This means that the land here is not really wasteland, and if it is developed in the future, it will produce a lot of food.

She now has some people given to her by Zhu Yonghong, but this amount is far from enough, and she has no elite soldiers in her hands. Even her brother, a bare-bones commander, can't fight alone!

Also feeling understaffed are their father-in-law and husband.

This time in the palace turmoil, there are too many people involved in the crown prince and the second prince's party, and they usually need to be liquidated, and there are many people who are officials who do nothing. This time, there are a lot of vacant places in the court.

Although they had prepared some manpower before, they needed more capable people to close this big gap, especially for the better operation of the court in the future.

This incident gave Zhu Yonghong and Zhu Linxi father and son a real headache. But that's not their focus right now, they have one more urgent thing to deal with first. That was the funeral of Emperor Shaowen and the accession of the third prince Xu Zhenhua.

Although the entire Shao Kingdom recognizes Zhu Yonghong, the regent, to manage state affairs, if Zhu Yonghong really wants to be the emperor, I am afraid there will be many twists and turns. And now Dingguo's side is eyeing them up, trying to devour them. Therefore, the safest way now is to put Xu Zhenhua on the throne of the emperor as a puppet emperor.

Before the enthronement ceremony, the whole country had to mourn for Emperor Shaowen, the emperor of Daxing.

It was really Emperor Shaowen, the emperor, who was incompetent, and now whether it was in the court or in the family, it was Zhu Yonghong's person, so everyone unanimously decided to deal with the funeral as simple as possible.

But the face still has to be done.

Fortunately, Emperor Shaowen was not in good health before his death, and everyone prepared mourning clothes early. And each family has also prepared white flags, white silk and other things. As soon as the death knell struck, the provinces had replaced all the original festive things. Especially their Shaojun Palace, before Wang Xibao and Zhu Linxi's wedding, the whole mansion was decorated with joy, and now it has all been replaced with a piece of white.

Wang Jibao and Lin Wanyan also wore plain clothes in the past two days.

Because the Shao Palace has been in turmoil and fighting a few days ago, there is no requirement for the ministers to mourn their families. Now it has been preliminarily decided, and the new emperor has also been decided. So, now is also the time for people to mourn and weep.

Xu Yanrong thought that she was going to be released, after all, the person who died was her father, but obviously Zhu Yonghong didn't mean that. He declared to the public that Xu Yanrong was in unbearable grief because of the death of Emperor Shaowen, and now she is terminally ill and may go with the first emperor at any time.

All people, believing it or not, must listen. Everything that Shaoguo has now is not a matter of Zhu Yonghong's words.

Now the question arises again, how to deal with these people in Emperor Shaowen's harem? Xu Zhenhua is still less than eight years old and has not reached the age of marriage, so who can manage the harem for him?

Zhu Linxi thought that at that time, they didn't pay much attention to the matter of the harem, and they were almost taken advantage of, and someone actually wanted to use that method to destroy Wang Xibao. Just think about it, he secretly hates it. So, this time they said that they would control the harem in their hands.

After thinking about it, I didn't come up with a suitable person. In the end, Zhu Yonghong made a final decision, since he couldn't find a suitable candidate, let Wang Jibao take care of it himself.

"Dad, how can this work? Baomei has a lot to do, why do you have to make trouble for her? Besides, Baomei doesn't live in the palace, how can she manage the harem? Zhu Linxi immediately objected.

Zhu Yonghong said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about this, your little daughter-in-law has a lot of ideas." Even if she doesn't live in the palace, she will have a way. Besides, the harem is nothing more than a fiction now. It is not known whether the little emperor will be able to marry him in the future. You should let your daughter-in-law get acquainted with it in advance. Besides, you also know your mother, first, it is inconvenient for her to come forward, and secondly, her temperament is not suitable. Therefore, those who can work hard, I think Baomei is the most suitable candidate. ”

Zhu Linxi thought about it, was reluctant, frowned and asked, "In what capacity does Bao Mei manage the harem?" ”
