After being read, the abstinent prince bullies others with his wife every day
Chapter 131 Winning over
She untied the shawl around her neck, revealing a large patch of red skin: “I don’t know why, but since the day before yesterday, I’ve had patches of red rashes all over my body.
Not only on the neck, but also on the abdomen and legs. Some of the spots are too hidden for me to ask the imperial physician to come and see. Fortunately, I happened to see you at the door of the Queen's bedroom today, so I wanted to ask you to see what's going on. "
Lin Shuning narrowed her eyes and observed carefully. There were not many rashes, but Concubine An was delicate and had fair skin, so she looked particularly scary.
She reached out her hand and touched it, and an idea came to her mind.
She picked up the shawl that Concubine An had taken off, fiddled with the fur on it, and looked up at the maidservant beside her: "What kind of fabric are Concubine An's dress and shawl made of? Is it the same as in previous years?"
Concubine An stretched out her hand and scratched her neck, and asked in confusion, "Are you saying that the reason why I got a rash is related to these clothes?"
"It's very likely." Lin Shuning said in a serious tone.
Seeing this, the maid quickly replied, "Miss Lin, the weather has been getting colder these days. These dresses were sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I have checked them and there are no problems. Each dress is made of the finest fabric and the cotton lining is also the best. They are no different from the autumn clothes that the Majesty wears every year."
Lin Shuning frowned slightly. She picked up the shawl and placed it in front of Concubine An: "Madam, please put your hand on it and see if you feel itchy."
She had just observed that the red rash that Concubine An had was only on the skin on her body and neck that came into contact with clothes, but not on her face or hands. So the rash was most likely caused by the clothes.
But the palace maid said that the clothes were no different from previous years. In that case, they could only try this method.
Concubine An lowered her eyes, stretched out her hand and placed it on it, but after a moment, she couldn't help but retract it, and her palm began to turn red: "Itchy, as long as I put it on it, I will feel very itchy."
Lin Shuning asked for a pair of scissors, cut the shawl open, and found a thread from it. She rolled it with her hands and said, "This thread is made of pure wool. Was Concubine An's clothes also made of this wool thread in previous years?"
The maid was startled, and quickly took it and examined it carefully, then shook her head: "No, the clothes that the queen wore in previous years were all made of the best silk thread, how could she have used wool?"
"That's right," Lin Shuning smiled, "Madam An is allergic to wool, which is why she has a rash on her body. The skin on her face, hands and feet, which have not come into contact with wool, is fine."
Anpin's expression changed instantly, and she cursed angrily, "How dare those dogs from the Ministry of Internal Affairs harm me? What are you still standing there for? Come and help me take off my clothes!"
"Yes, ma'am."
The palace maids shuddered and immediately rushed forward to take off her outer shirt, leaving only a silk lingerie underneath, revealing her curvy figure.
Lin Shuning said "tsk tsk" in her heart. Although Concubine An was cruel, she was a real beauty. With such beauty and top-notch figure in front of him, Emperor Jingsheng was not moved at all. It can be seen that he loves Concubine Xi deeply.
Anpin sat on the chaise longue, looking gloomily at the crackling charcoal fire in the room, her voice cold: "Go ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs for me, is it only me who uses woolen yarn in my clothes, or is it for everyone else?"
If she was alone, then someone was deliberately trying to harm her.
The palace maid received the order and left in a hurry.
Concubine An looked at Lin Shuning and her expression changed from gloomy to bright.
"Miss Lin is truly a great doctor. She discovered my illness so quickly. But what should I do with these rashes? If the Emperor wants to come to Luanxiang Palace during this period, how can I serve him in bed in this state? Wouldn't it scare the Emperor?"
Lin Shuning took out a tube of ointment from his sleeve and said, "Don't worry, Concubine An. Just apply this ointment to the affected part of your body every morning and evening. It will be healed within three days. Remember, avoid meat and spicy food during these three days. It's best to eat a light diet."
Anpin took it and looked at the ointment in her hand. It was extremely small and exquisite, with characters on it that she could not understand. She wanted to win over Lin Shuning even more.
She smiled amiably and waved, "Go and get the box from my dressing table."
Immediately, a palace maid accepted the order and presented it with both hands.
Concubine An smiled as she opened the box, revealing a string of round and smooth pearl necklaces inside: "This was my dowry when I married the emperor. Now I am no longer a young girl, and if I continue to wear it, I am afraid that other concubines will laugh at me for pretending to be young. If Miss Lin doesn't mind, please accept it. These are all top-quality South China Sea pearls."
As soon as she finished speaking, a palace maid presented the box to Lin Shuning.
Lin Shuning's eyes were a little surprised. She thought that Concubine An asked her to come here not only for treatment, but also because she was resentful of her for exposing her conspiracy on the spot that day and wanted to take revenge.
But she never expected that Concubine An actually gave her the medical fee, and it was a string of valuable South China Sea pearls.
Lin Shuning took it without hesitation and bowed: "Your servant thanks Madam An."
"Get up, this is what you deserve," Anpin looked at her with curved eyebrows and eyes. Although her eyes were smiling, the smile did not reach her eyes. "Since the first time I saw you a few days ago, I felt that you looked very much like my unmarried niece, and I felt that you were particularly kind.
For so many years, I have been alone in this large and lonely Luanxiang Palace, and I just need someone to talk to. If Miss Lin has nothing to do in the future, please come and sit with me more often. I welcome you at any time."
There was a hidden meaning in her words, but Lin Shuning pretended not to understand. She smiled warmly and innocently, and stroked her hairpin with her hand: "Thank you, Concubine An, for your kindness. It's getting late, so I will go back first."
"Yeah." Concubine An looked at her deeply, her red lips slightly curled, and said nothing more.
When it comes to winning people over, it is always important to stop at the right time. Don't talk too much, but do more.
After Lin Shuning came out of the palace, she went straight back to the Shangshu Mansion. Just as she entered, Lin Cheng came back from the morning court.
He looked at Lin Shuning's back, then turned his eyes to the guard standing at the door and asked, "Where did the Third Miss go so early in the morning?"
"My Lord, I heard Miss San talking to Lian'er. They said that the Empress sent someone to deliver a letter, and the two of them went into the palace. It seems that after leaving the Empress's palace, they also went to Concubine An's place."
"Empress An?" Lin Cheng's tone sank: "Are you sure you didn't hear it wrong?"
"It is absolutely true, sir." The guard said firmly.
Lin Cheng waved his hand and walked towards the study room thoughtfully.
He didn't expect that Lin Shuning was so capable that even the Queen and Concubine An were interested in her.
The emperor was so "seriously ill" a few days ago, and Concubine An was only demoted and the third prince was punished by not being able to attend the morning court for a month. This shows how powerful the Duke's Mansion is. The emperor is always thinking about the late Empress Dowager. Judging from the current situation, the third prince's position is still unbreakable.
Today, Concubine An invited Lin Shuning to her bedroom. Maybe she is interested in her and is making plans for the third prince's marriage.
If he could arrange Lin Shuning's marriage to the third prince before this, wouldn't that be what Concubine An loves the most?
Thinking of this, a meaningful smile appeared on Lin Cheng's gloomy face.
……
At the same hour, in the palace.
Emperor Jingsheng stood in front of the window, letting the cool breeze blow on his body. He lowered his brows and looked at the letter in his hand seriously, with a look of great pleasure.
Eunuch Li said in a worried tone: "Your Majesty, you are not in good health and cannot stand the cold wind. I beg you not to stand at the window."
"No problem," Emperor Jingsheng said happily, laughing twice, "My old friend is finally coming back to see me, I'm happy."
"Is General Yun going back to Beijing?" Eunuch Li's old face was wrinkled with smiles.
"That's right. I have written him so many letters over the years, asking him to come back to Beijing, but he refused each time. He finally agreed last time. In about half a month, they will arrive in Beijing. I wonder if the jar of osmanthus wine buried under the tree ten years ago is still there."
As Emperor Jingsheng spoke, there was a hint of longing in his eyes, as if he was thinking of extremely beautiful memories.
"Squeak-"
The palace door was pushed open, and Jiang Yu walked in slowly, kneeling down and bowing, saying, "Your Highness, your son greets you."
"Get up," Emperor Jingsheng raised his hand with a smile, his eyes and eyebrows full of joy, "Do you know why I called you here today?"
Jiang Yu hadn't seen such a happy expression on his father's face for a long time. He lowered his eyes and said, "I don't know."
"I have told you before that the great general Yun Zhong will be returning to the capital with his wife and children. However, the forces lurking in the dark in the capital are ready to make a move. If General Yun and his family return to the capital, they will surely arouse fear and wait for an opportunity to stop them.
In order to protect the safety of General Yun and his family, I will announce in the morning court in a few days that the Yun family will return to the capital in a month. In fact, they have already received my secret decree and will arrive in the capital in about half a month, so as to disrupt the plans of those who have ulterior motives.
You will set off soon and go to meet them secretly. I will give you a reasonable reason to leave the capital."
Jiang Yu lowered his eyes and responded in a deep voice: "Yes, I will escort General Yun and his family to Beijing safely, please rest assured, father."
Emperor Jingsheng leaned back on the sandalwood chair, nodded with satisfaction, and his smile deepened: "I'm relieved to leave this matter to you."
He waved his hand: "Go down, get ready to set off, the sooner the better."
"Yes, I'll take my leave." Jiang Yu bowed and slowly walked out.
The wind outside the hall was quite strong, making his clothes rustle.
Jiang Yu exhaled a breath of white air, and his dark black eyes were filled with ripples.
It would take at least half a month to go and meet her. Given that woman's business acumen, if she suddenly saved enough money within half a month and left the capital, where would he go to find her?
His gaze, like a cold pond, looked toward the red walls and green tiles, his half-upturned face was bathed in the sunlight, his calmness had a special intensity like that of tea, his slightly furrowed brows were filled with worldly thoughts, beautiful as smoke.
After a while, the corners of his lips suddenly curved up, and a smile appeared again between his deep brows. He raised his steps and strode briskly in a certain direction.
At this moment, Lin Shuning, who had no idea what was about to happen to her, was staying in the room, directing Xiaobai to put the South China Sea pearl necklace given to her by Concubine An into the space. Looking at the numbers constantly rising in the space, she felt more and more happy.
Just when I was happy, there was a gentle knock on the door.
