"What Concubine Qi means by this, I didn't understand!" Lin Shuran shot back lightly, "It is said that there is no excuse for the crime that you want to add, my husband is a courtier, he does his best for the king, he is loyal to the country, and he is dedicated to the people, I don't think there is anything wrong!" ”

"You don't put gold on your face here, now who doesn't know that your Xu family is the emperor's pawn, you are willing to be loyal, willing to turn yourself into a poor egg, that's your own business, why bother to pull everyone to accompany you and have no food to eat!" Qi Rou'er said angrily.

Ling Wangfu looks like a rich and noble family in the palace, in fact, the inside has long been in deficit, usually the silver in the public is very nervous, her husband Ling Wang Shizi is a master who loves to spend money, he doesn't know how much dowry silver he has subscribed, if he even pays the palace's land or pays a lot of land taxes every year, then the life of the palace will be even more difficult, and I am afraid that her dowry will not be able to be saved.

"People say that women must have the ability to help their husbands, Mrs. Xu should persuade General Xu more when she goes back, let him stop messing around with the emperor, and ask the princes and nobles to hand over the land, isn't this a joke!" Concubine Li's seemingly persuasive behavior is actually sarcastic, if the Qi family's property decreases, her life in the palace will also be sad.

"Thank you Concubine Liniang for your advice!" Just when Concubine Li's mother and daughter thought that Lin Shuran was convinced when she said this, they heard Lin Shuran continue loudly, "But I don't think it's a joke, there is a saying, Concubine Li's mother is right, women do have the ability to help their husbands, but I think that Concubine Li doesn't seem to have much of this talent!" ”

"Lin Shuran, what do you mean by that!" Concubine Li was immediately furious.

"Mrs. Xu, this is in the palace, as a court wife, why do you bully the concubine so much!" Sun also took the opportunity to shout, while Qi Rou'er only gloated on the sidelines as Lin Shuran angered her sister and mother.

"Bullying? Duchess of Qin, don't wronged me! Lin Shuran had a faint smile on her face, she looked directly at Concubine Li and said, "Concubine Li, you just said that the emperor is messing around, as the king of a country, the emperor puts the country's society, the ancestral foundation, and the people of Li first, how can it become nonsense!" As the emperor's woman, if she doesn't have the ability to distinguish between right and wrong, then learn to shut up, so as not to end up losing the heart of the monarch and her husband. ”

"Lin Shuran, you-" Concubine Li was held in her throat by Lin Shuran's breath and couldn't get out.

"Well said!" At this moment, the emperor's voice suddenly sounded in the back garden, and Concubine Li's mother and daughter were almost frightened to the point that their souls came out.

Lin Shuran looked at the emperor and Xu Junze who suddenly appeared in surprise, they came straight to the four of them, Concubine Li, mother and daughter hurriedly knelt down to say goodbye, and Lin Shuran also asked the emperor to say goodbye in accordance with the palace etiquette system.

"Little sister doesn't need to be polite, it's all her own family, and your sister will talk about me when you look back!" Emperor Zhao You smiled and raised his hand to let Lin Shuran get up, but he didn't let Concubine Li's mother and daughter get up.

After Lin Shuran stood up, Zhao You's face turned cold and looked at the three Sun family members who were kneeling on the ground, glanced at Gonggong Qu again, and then said in a stern voice: "Concubine Li has no virtue, and now she has been reduced to a talented person, without my will, she is not allowed to go out of the palace, and the goddaughter of the Sun family has no way, and she will not be allowed to enter the palace in the future. ”

Concubine Li suddenly collapsed on the ground, she looked at the emperor in horror, and cried loudly for mercy: "Your Majesty, the concubine is wrong, please spare the concubine, the concubine's words just now were unintentional, Your Majesty, please forgive the concubine!" ”

Sun was also stupid by the emperor's will, from the concubine to the talent, what is the difference between that and entering the cold palace, she kowtowed to the emperor vigorously, crying while stopping all the blame on herself: "The emperor, the emperor, it's all the fault of the courtiers, and it has nothing to do with Concubine Li's mother and side concubines, it's the courtiers' lack of virtue, it's the courtiers' fault, if you want to punish the courtiers, Concubine Li's words are unintentional, you can spare her!" ”

At this time, the Sun family is very different from the previous tricky and mean appearance, if the emperor hadn't listened to all the words they said just now, he wouldn't be so angry at this time, in the face of the supreme imperial authority, even if she was dissatisfied in her heart, she had to put down all her figure and dignity and beg the emperor's forgiveness.

Concubine Li and Qi Rou'er looked at their mother begging the emperor, and hoped that she would cry more sadly, it was best that the emperor could put all the blame on the Sun family, so as to keep themselves and the Qi family's wealth, otherwise everything would be over, so they didn't defend again, just cried and begged for mercy.

As if he was having a headache by the three of them arguing with the mother and daughter, Zhao You glared at them fiercely, and Gonggong Qu understood what he meant just by looking at the emperor, and immediately waved his hand to let Concubine Li be dragged away, and drove Sun and Qi Rouer out of the palace gate.

When the three of the Sun mother and daughter left as an eyesore, the emperor also asked Xu Junze to send Lin Shuran home, and he seemed to be very satisfied with Lin Shuran's words just now.

In the carriage home, Xu Junze kept looking at Lin Shuran intentionally or unintentionally, as if he couldn't see enough, Lin Shuran was uncomfortable with him, so he simply turned to him and asked, "What are you looking at?" ”

Xu Junze's face was rarely cold, but said with a little smile: "Just now the emperor said that I should thank him and thank him for giving me such a smart and clever wife. ”

Listening to Xu Junze's words that seemed to praise her in disguise, Lin Shuran couldn't help but smile, there is no woman in this world who doesn't like to be praised, and she suddenly felt sweet in her heart.

Seeing the happy smile on Lin Shuran's face, the smile on Xu Junze's face also deepened, the emperor may be right, he should indeed be grateful to him, otherwise how could his wife be Lin Shuran.

"I'm going to go to the Grange later, will you go home or come with me?" always felt a little awkward between the two people, and Lin Shuran felt that what to say could alleviate this embarrassment, so she changed the topic.

"What are you doing at the Grange?" Xu Junze asked curiously.

"Just now in the palace, I saw that the Queen Mother was a little tired, Aunt Chang said that she has always slept well recently, and there are a few pots of flowers and plants in my grange that can calm the nerves and help you sleep, all of which I planted myself when I was idle in the grange before, and I went to pick two things to send to the Queen Mother." Lin Shuran told him about his intention to go out of the Grange.

Xu Junze's eyes looked at her even deeper, he could feel that Lin Shuran was sincerely thinking about the Queen Mother's body, in this world, except for his master, it was the Queen Mother who treated him best, in his mind, the Queen Mother and his own mother were undoubtedly there.

So he deliberately said seriously: "I was ordered to escort you home, and I will naturally follow you when you go to the Grange, otherwise it will be disobeying the emperor's order!" ”
