Chapter 676: Three pillars
Watching Tang Yulan walk away sullenly, Chu Nanzhi and Lin Jinshu immediately regained their senses and comforted the frightened concubine.
At this time, Givenyin was already hugging the corner of the stone table with a splitting headache, screaming with a hideous face: "My child, my child."
Lin Jinshu was so anxious that he was at a loss and squatted down to grab Givenyin, and softly comforted him: "Auntie, it's all right, it's all right, uncle and brother Wang will be back sooner or later."
Then anxiously called the maid to send the imperial physician to come.
Seeing this, Chu Nanzhi also quickly squatted down, seeing the concubine's pained expression, she found the Dazhui acupoint and slowly pressed for her.
Immediately afterwards, he pointed to two acupuncture points, Chengqi and Hegu, and asked Princess Shu and the maids to help press them.
After pressing for a while, Givenyin's agitated emotions gradually calmed down a lot. She just curled up in Lin Jinshu's arms and kept sobbing, still muttering about her child.
This scene made Chu Nanzhi even more worried.
In her mind, she even began to think about what would happen to the quadruplets and the fetus in her womb if she and the little boy died at the hands of political opponents in the future.
I think this is one of the reasons why the ancestor decided to arrange himself to visit the concubine.
She clenched her fists secretly, and silently reaffirmed her determination in her heart to help Xiaobailian successfully enter Jingling City at all costs.
Only by firmly grasping the initiative can you not only dominate the fate of others, but also determine your own destiny.
Taught several massage points to the maids around the concubine, Chu Nanzhi personally took care of the concubine to rest, and then followed Lin Jinshu to the front hall of Zhaochun Palace.
Just as he was about to return to the main hall, Lin Jinshu suddenly stopped, frowned and reminded: "It must be the one from Yong'an Palace who can make Princess Qinghe visit the concubine's courtyard. Nan Zhi, you will come later." You have to be careful with it."
Chu Nanzhi knew that she was referring to the Empress Dowager, the woman who was brought up to the throne by virtue of her lowly status as a concubine and set a precedent for taking a concubine as a wife is now extremely honored and favored, and she couldn't wait to become the Empress Dowager Want to meet this prestigious woman.
"Princess, don't worry, I have my own measure."
Chu Nanzhi replied with a smile.
Although she kicked her daughter-in-law just now, it was purely Tang Yulan's own fault.
As for the affairs in the court, it was already chaotic anyway. Since they were plotting against each other, each should rely on his own ability.
Lin Jinshu looked at her calm and breezy posture, but she really didn't look like a country girl who came out of the village. This calm temperament was more like an old man who had already experienced strong winds and waves, which undoubtedly made her feel lonely. To great relief.
She suddenly had greater confidence in stabilizing the situation in Jingling City.
Happily taking her arm, Lin Jinshu also had a smile on his face, and entered the main hall with her.
At this time, many people had gathered in the main hall of Zhaochun Palace. Except for Lin Luotong, Lin Luoxuan, and Tang Yulan, who were familiar faces, there was only a woman in a purple gown sitting upright beside Yin Enci. Surrounded by several maids, Chu Nanzhi immediately guessed that this person should be Empress Dowager Tian Yuchan.
I heard that this person is only the same age as the mad concubine, but she looks as charming as a young lady in her early twenties.
As soon as she went up and bowed to salute, Tian Yuchan hurriedly got up and came over, embraced her enthusiastically, and praised her with a smile on her face: "This is our niece and daughter-in-law who resounded throughout the Dahe Empire. It has the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix, which makes people like it very much."
"The empress dowager praised you."
Chu Nanzhi looked at her hypocritical face, and smiled politely: "The minister's wife is just a country woman, how dare she be loved by the Queen Mother so much."
The Second Eldest Princess Lin Luoxuan was very dissatisfied when she heard it, and snorted coldly with disdain: "Princess Pingning is somewhat self-aware, but she didn't know that she was in awe just now in Taifei Ji's courtyard."
"Cough, Luo Xuan, stop talking nonsense."
Tian Yuchan glanced coldly at Tang Yulan, who was at the side with a gloomy face, and when her eyes fell on Chu Nanzhi, she replied with a smile:
"Yu Lan is a stupid, simple and honest girl. She doesn't speak properly. She was thinking that she hadn't returned to Beijing for many years, so she was asked to visit the concubine on behalf of King Qinghe. She bumped into the concubine without thinking about it. The ancestors didn't blame her." I am beyond grateful.”
"The empress dowager's words are wrong. The concubine is very temperamental now. Princess Qinghe went to visit with good intentions, so how could she offend the concubine?"
Eldest princess Lin Luotong also stood up, and glared at Chu Nanzhi fiercely: "No matter what, Princess Pingning shouldn't insult a dignified princess."
"Insulting?"
Lin Jinshu sneered and looked at Lin Luotong: "Auntie, Princess Qinghe deliberately provoked the concubine today. If my sister-in-law hadn't rescued her, she would have been buried in the concubine's courtyard."
After a pause, she simply said bluntly: "Everyone is not clear about the concubine's condition. If you didn't go to visit on purpose, why bother to be hypocritical, make yourself uncomfortable, and make everyone look ugly."
"I…"
Tang Yulan pursed her lips and was about to refute, but was stopped immediately by the Queen Mother:
"Princess Shu's words are very true, it's all because of the family's lack of thoughtfulness."
Tian Yuchan had already swallowed this bad breath, and she didn't want to tear herself apart with Zhaochun Gong and others because of such a trivial matter, so she deliberately smiled and flattered Chu Nanzhi: "Nephew and daughter-in-law, don't worry about these things."
"The Empress Dowager speaks too seriously."
Chu Nanzhi smiled but did not smile, and looked at the two eldest princesses meaningfully: "How dare you be a junior to care about your elders."
Yin Enci kept his face cold, knowing that these people gathered in Zhaochun Palace had no good intentions, so he smiled and signaled to everyone: "All take your seats."
After listening to the old ancestor's words, the two eldest princesses didn't dare to do it again, so they had to sit down obediently.
The two of them have witnessed a series of generous rewards from their ancestors to Lin Jinxiao's shabby family since they returned to Beijing, and they were very upset.
After pondering for a long time, the Eldest Princess Lin Luotong said cautiously: "The minister and daughter just now heard in the palace that the ancestors and His Majesty were going to confer titles on the Lin clan of Luyan Port again, and this time even the humble Shen family from Tong'an Village Also became a marquis, and the courtiers thought about it, and they all felt that the ancestor's move was very inappropriate."
Carefully observing Yin Enci's face, seeing that the ancestor did not show any abnormalities, he continued to speak with confidence: "The original wife of the eldest son of the Shen family has passed away, and the head of the family has also died, and what is left is only a concubine. Bastard, how can you afford such an eminent title as Marquis."
Yin Enci was not allowed to answer, but the words of the eldest princess directly aroused the dissatisfaction of the queen mother Tian Yuchan:
"Then about the Shen family, I have heard a little bit about it. The Shen Yang family was forced into the mansion as a concubine. She has always been gentle and virtuous. She has long been invited into the genealogy by the Shen family and helped her as the main wife. The young man of the Shen family Jun is the only son of the big family, and the Han family has been adopted under his name when he was alive, so naturally he can afford the title of the Marquis."
After the words fell, the two eldest princesses rolled their eyes in displeasure.
These two people talk like this, don't they look down on themselves, and they are also questioning their current status.
