After being read, the abstinent prince bullies others with his wife every day

Lin Shuning's heart tightened.

She was clear about her appearance, and she was not worried that Emperor Jingsheng would fall in love with her. After all, Emperor Jingsheng was old now and only loved Concubine Xi.

Her only worry was that Emperor Jingsheng would randomly marry her to any prince and regard the marriage as a reward, which would be a huge loss for her.

Not only did I lose the wife, but I also lost my soldiers.

Forget it, the emperor’s order is above her, so why would she disobey?

Lin Shuning slowly raised his head as if resigned to his fate.

When he raised his head, a faint light flashed in Emperor Jingsheng's deep eyes. Why did this girl with such stubborn eyes look so much like his old friend who guarded the border?

"how old are you?"

Lin Shuning lowered her eyes and said, "Your Majesty, I am sixteen years old this year."

Emperor Jingsheng was thoughtful. It turned out that the ages matched. Although he knew that his idea was ridiculous, the face in front of him kept overlapping with the face in his memory, which made him have to have this idea.

Lin Shuning lowered her head. She could feel the judging and scrutinizing gaze of Emperor Jing Sheng falling on her. The look was very penetrating, as if he wanted to see through her.

Emperor Jingsheng ascended the throne at a young age and sat firmly on the throne for more than thirty years. After years of precipitation and tempering, his majesty seemed innate and people dared not look directly at him.

After a long while, Emperor Jingsheng replied calmly, "You are both talented and beautiful, yes, and now you are old enough to get married. Do you have a favorite candidate? Do you want me to make the decision for you?"

Lin Shuning's mouth twitched. As expected, he couldn't escape.

She knelt down quickly and said, "Your Majesty, I don't want to think about marriage right now. I just want to study medicine more, so that I can help more people and contribute to the people."

Emperor Jingsheng was startled, then burst into laughter: "Well, well, well, I underestimated your ambitions. You saved me this time. Tell me, what reward do you want?"

Lin Shuning was a little hesitant. If she said it directly, would it seem a little unreserved? But if she didn't say it, what if the reward from Emperor Jingsheng didn't touch her heart?

After struggling for a moment, Lin Shuning raised her eyes and said, "I am not talented. I usually just like to play with gold and silver."

The main point is honesty.

Eunuch Li was stunned when he heard this. He had been with the emperor for more than 30 years, and every time he said hesitantly that he had nothing to ask for, it was the first time that someone like Lin Shuning was so frank in asking for a reward.

"Hahahahaha, you girl!" Emperor Jingsheng laughed out loud at Lin Shuning's straightforwardness and narrowed his eyes.

Perhaps it was because she looked like his old friend, he felt very close to Lin Shuning the first time he saw her. Instead of thinking she was presumptuous, he thought she was straightforward, not shy, and very likable.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Then I will reward you with five million taels of silver and one thousand taels of gold. Are you satisfied?"

Lin Shuning's eyes widened in shock, and he asked in disbelief: "Duo... Duo Shao?"

Eunuch Li repeated it on the side: "Miss San, this is a great grace, why don't you thank me quickly."

This sentence reminded Lin Shuning, and she hurriedly thanked him, as if she was afraid that Emperor Jingsheng would go back on his word: "Your Majesty, thank you for your grace."

"Get up." Emperor Jingsheng nodded with satisfaction.

Lin Shuning was about to stand up, but seemed to have thought of something, and knelt down again: "Your Majesty, I have another request, I wonder if Your Majesty can agree to it."

"What do you think."

“I want the emperor’s permission. These silver coins are awarded to me alone, not to the Shangshu Mansion. No one is allowed to compete with me for them, otherwise it will be against the emperor’s order.

In the court, please do not treat the minister differently because of me, Your Majesty. Just handle the matter impartially."

After Lin Shuning finished speaking, he bowed deeply.

She would never let the Shangshu Mansion get any share of the credit for saving the emperor.

Emperor Jingsheng looked at the resolute look in her eyes, waved his hand without asking any more questions, and said, "I promise you."

Lin Shuning smiled and thanked him, "I thank the emperor."

Emperor Jingsheng nodded slightly, his eyes inadvertently glancing at the dark figure standing outside the door, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

His son usually never came so close to the door when he was waiting outside it, but this time he seemed to be sticking to it and looked a little anxious.

He looked at Lin Shuning with a deep gaze: "Go out and ask Prince Rui to come in. I will send someone to deliver the reward to the Shangshu Mansion."

"Yes." Lin Shuning agreed and slowly retreated.

As soon as she closed the palace door, Jiang Yu came up to her and asked in a low voice, "How is it? Did the emperor give you any trouble?"

"Of course not. The emperor even gave me a lot of silver as a reward." Lin Shuning's cunning eyes were full of smiles. "The emperor asked you to come in. I have to go see your mother. I promised her yesterday."

Lin Shuning was filled with anticipation at the thought of seeing the beauty again. She patted Jiang Yu's shoulder and looked at Cui He beside her: "Take me there."

"Yes." Cuihe responded softly.

Jiang Yu watched the swaggering figure walk into a corner with a very good mood, and only withdrew his gaze when he could no longer see it.

Chen Zhao on the side rolled his eyes and couldn't help but complain in his heart: "My Lord, this is the imperial palace, and the guards are strict. You can rest assured that the Third Miss is here."

Jiang Yu glanced at him with a cold face. His eyes were so cold that Chen Zhao almost turned into an ice sculpture.

He covered his mouth and shook his head desperately, regretting that he shouldn't have said too much. Jiang Yu then straightened his clothes and entered the inner hall.

Chen Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, and four big words were written on his face as he looked up at the sky with tears in his eyes.

Double standards!

……

Lin Shuning followed Cuihe all the way to Concubine Xi's bedroom.

The bedroom where Concubine Xi lived was different from the palaces of other concubines. There were not too many luxurious decorations here, only various plants and flowers, and even a small bamboo forest, which made rhythmic sounds in the wind.

The further you go inside, the stronger the natural fragrance becomes. Lin Shuning is filled with amazement and exclaims in amazement.

Cuihe seemed unable to bear it and explained in a low voice: "Empress Xi likes to play with flowers and plants the most, so the emperor ordered people to transplant the green bamboo from a long distance. Look at the lotus in the lake over there, they were planted by the emperor himself. In the whole palace, only Empress Xi is so favored."

Lin Shuning nodded with emotion: "No wonder the Queen and Concubine An are trying every means to overthrow Concubine Xi. With such honor and favor, I'm afraid no one can guarantee that they won't be jealous, let alone the Queen and Concubine with noble status."

"Yes, it's been much better in recent years. In the early years, the concubines in the rear palace would come to Xifei Palace to find trouble no matter what, and cry to the emperor every few days. Even the queen couldn't help crying and making a fuss every day.

It was not until later that the ladies in the palaces and courtyards realized that crying and making a fuss was useless, and gradually they calmed down. But of course, it was mainly due to that incident that year..."
