Chapter 20 Maintenance of the Crown Prince
The eldest concubine, Gu, was the direct daughter of the Yongzhong Marquis mansion. Before the palace, she was the most beautiful woman in the capital.
Today, I was fortunate enough to meet with my own eyes. Naturally, Lin Liangchen was overwhelmed with emotion. He got up and saw the ceremony, and was greeted by Mrs. Gu and sat down.
"What's the matter with Mrs. Lin looking for the prince?" Mrs. Gu got straight to the point.
"Of course there is." Lin Liangchen took out the jade pendant in his sleeve with a calm expression.
As soon as the exquisite jade pendant was taken out, Mrs. Gu naturally recognized it at first sight as Sikongxiao's, and raised her eyebrows without looking, "Mrs. Lin is this?"
Lin Liangchen didn't say it clearly, and put the jade pendant on the coffee table beside him, "I'm here to restore the jade pendant to the eldest son."
Naturally, Lin Liangchen couldn't do it by questioning Prince An's heir and concubine An, but Princess An's dismissal made her very unhappy. In order not to get involved with the people of Prince An's mansion in the future, Lin Liangchen decided to return the jade pendant to Sikongxiao, so as not to be in trouble with others. It seemed that she was deliberately holding on to the matter of saving Sikong Xiao back then.
Gu's eyebrows turned, "So that's the case, what should I do? Since the prince gave you to Mrs. Lin, you can accept it with peace of mind."
Sikongxiao was injured back then and he was rescued by Lin Liangchen. Later, Sikongxiao also told her after he got married that the capital was dazzling back then. Because of investigating certain matters, he took people out of the capital. There are also dangers outside.
When he was drugged and pushed into the river, he received a strong blow on the head. He thought he would definitely die, but he did not expect that he would be rescued from the bottom of the river. Although men and women were not inseparable, Mrs. Gu still admired Lin Liangchen's courage. , A woman can jump into the river to save a stranger, and she can also save the person, which shows that the woman has a heart of compassion.
Such people. She admires it!
Gu shi smiled at Lin Liangchen, and did not let the girl go to take the jade pendant. Lin Liangchen did not move, and insisted that Gu accept it. Mrs Gu kept silent and asked about Lin Liangchen being invited to the flower viewing banquet.
When Lin Liangchen told the truth, Mrs Gu's face stiffened for a moment, and she held back a smile and said, "Mrs. Lin is quite straight."
Lin Liangchen didn't take credit, Gu sipped her tea and smiled even deeper. It is estimated that at this moment, the old witch was so angry that she looked down on others, thinking of this. Gu said, "If you don't mind, let's go there together when the flower viewing party starts."
"How is this good?" The emotion on the face was not obvious, but the heart flashed as if rejoicing, fortunately, this world concubine understands the truth. otherwise...
she is alone,
But it is not easy to appear in front of Princess An.
"No problem."
When Sikongxiao was invited over by the girl, Mrs. Gu had already had a good chat with Lin Liangchen. Seeing Sikongxiao, Lin Liangchen immediately stood up to greet him, "I have seen the prince."
Sikongxiao waved his hand, "Mrs. Lin excuses herself."
Lin Liangchen straightened his waist. Looking at him with a smile, Sikong Xiao felt a chill in his heart because of Lin Liangchen's smile, "Why is Mrs. Lin looking at me like this?"
Lin Liangchen's face was as usual, and he said lightly, "I'm here today to attend the flower viewing banquet hosted by Princess An."
Sikong Xiao was stunned for a moment, just enjoy the flowers, what does it have to do with him?
Gu Shi secretly gave Sikong Xiao a wink. Sikong Xiao quickly understood, "What should I do, it turns out that Mrs. Lin came to question me."
"Don't dare."
Seeing Sikongxiao's reaction, Lin Liangchen guessed that neither of Sikongxiao and his wife knew about it. otherwise...
After thinking about it, he said, "It was my impulse that I misunderstood the prince, and hoped that the prince would atone for his sins."
Sikong Xiao sat next to the chair next to Gu's, "You don't need to make amends, just tell me what happened."
Gu explained it again for Lin Liangchen, Lin Liangchen felt a hint of helplessness in his heart, and sure enough, he was still a little impulsive. He wanted to return the jade pendant like this and go back directly. In the end, she complained and wiped the sweat on her forehead. , listening to Sikongxiao and his wife whispering.
Listening to the atmosphere of the couple talking, Lin Liangchen felt more and more wrong, why did Sikongxiao hate Princess An so much? There was Prince An and the others, he did not disclose it, not to mention that the relationship between Prince An and Princess An had been rigid for so many years, and it was even more impossible.
While talking, it was time for Princess An to hold a flower viewing banquet. Lin Liangchen followed the Crown Princess Gu to the Rongxuan Courtyard where Princess An lived.
In the inner hall of Rongxuanyuan, there were already a dozen or so noble ladies sitting next to each other, laughing with Princess An. There was laughter and laughter inside, and the laughter was so loud that Princess An even came to Mrs. Gu. I don't know, if it wasn't for the noble lady screaming, "Is the prince concubine here?"
The women in the inner hall, including Princess An herself, heard the voice and turned their attention to the Crown Princess Gu and Lin Liangchen behind her.
Mrs Gu smiled and said hello to the women sitting in the inner hall, watching their eyes follow Lin Liangchen's face, and introduced to everyone with a smile, "This person next to me must have never been seen before, this is for propaganda. General Wei's wife, Mrs. Lin."
Lin Liangchen smiled and greeted the ladies who were sitting. After seeing the ceremony, Mrs. Gu introduced the ladies to Lin Liangchen. After this introduction, Lin Liangchen realized that Princess An invited all the ladies this time. The wife of the first or second quality control officer, she is the wife of a fourth-rank general.
Pi Xiaorou glanced at Princess An without smiling, and saw that she was glaring at her and the Gu family with a bloodthirsty light, the original depression quickly dissipated, and he greeted the ladies in a very decent manner.
Although there are not many people invited by Princess An, I will introduce each of them once, and then I will explain the husbands and official positions of these ladies. It will take more than half an hour for these ten or so. After introducing the last one, Princess An. His face could no longer be seen, and Mrs. Gu let out a sigh, and quickly apologized to Princess An, "Mother, it's all my fault. I was so excited that I forgot that my mother invited the ladies to the palace to see the flowers."
Princess An was sullen in her heart and didn't answer. Mrs. Gu didn't wait for Princess An to speak, and directly asked the steward who organized the flower viewing party. Knowing that the flowers at the flower viewing party had already been prepared, she immediately told the people in the inner hall. Madam said: "It's me who wasted everyone's time. Now that the banquet is ready, then please move to the lotus pavilion."
Princess An calmed down, everything was preempted by the Gu family, and she couldn't say a word out of anger.
And those noble ladies were embarrassed to get up when they saw that Princess An didn't speak, and looked at Princess An with fiery eyes.
Seeing that they hadn't left, Princess An raised her face at Mrs Gu and said with a proud smile, "Ladies, please move."
