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

"Yes."

Mingzhu answered affirmatively.

Pei Yan's face turned cold instantly.

Even if this clinic is doing a booming business, the fees it earns are far less than what Brother Wen gets for writing documents for others.

I'm afraid that the reason why he worked in that clinic was that he wanted to have more contact with Lin Shuning.

She clenched her fists.

why?

What was so good about Lin Shuning? She could make him change his mind in such a short time. He clearly cared about her before. How could she be inferior to Lin Shuning?

The depression in her chest seemed to turn into a fire stuck in her throat, unable to go up or down. Her lower abdomen suddenly twitched at this moment. Pei Yan hissed in pain, and Mingzhu was so scared that she hurried over to help her: "Crown Princess, are you okay?"

Pei Yan clenched her teeth, and a thin layer of sweat appeared on her forehead.

Her eyes fell on her lower abdomen, and her tightly clenched hands suddenly loosened.

"Pearl."

Pei Yan called Mingzhu to her side expressionlessly and whispered a few words in her ear. Finally, she grabbed Mingzhu's hand, stared straight into her eyes and said, "Remember, it has to be her."

Mingzhu nodded worriedly, turned around and left in a hurry.

A few drops of cold rain fell from the sky, and a few snowflakes floated down slowly.

After two days of heavy snow, the weather finally cleared up.

At the same time, a great happy event happened in the capital.

General Yun, the Duke of Zhenguo, and his family returned to the capital in a low-key manner. Emperor Jingsheng was overjoyed and issued a general amnesty. He also held a three-day banquet in the palace to celebrate. All officials above the fifth rank, except those who were not from the capital city in a very remote place, had to attend.

The Shangshu Mansion is naturally one of them.

As the only unmarried daughter in the family, Lin Shuning naturally had to enter the palace with Lin Cheng and his party.

When she finished dressing and came to the front yard, she saw Lin Cheng and Wang waiting beside the carriage.

Lin Cheng was wearing a dark red official uniform today, with a black fur cloak on the outside. The sides were outlined with gold threads. Although the style was simple, the workmanship was extremely fine, and it looked like it really took a lot of thought to make it.

Wang has been in a good mood these days, and she has been dressed even more elegantly. She holds her head high and transforms from a 175cm turkey into a peacock with its tail spread out, and her eyes seem to be on top of her head.

She glanced at Lin Shuning and saw that she was wearing top-grade Yuehua brocade. A hint of deep jealousy flashed in her eyes: "Hurry up, today is an important occasion. If you are late, the emperor will blame you."

After saying that, he got on the carriage first.

Lin Cheng was even more displeased with Lin Shuning because of Prince Chen's matter, so he followed him in and sat down without saying a word.

Lin Shuning was happy to be at ease and got on a carriage at the back leisurely.

By the time we crossed three streets and reached the palace gate, we could see a massive crowd of people, comparable to the evening rush hour on the second, third and fourth ring roads of our country.

Since the carriage couldn't get in, they had to get off and walk. The families of other officials mostly walked in groups of three or four, but the three people who came from the Shangshu Mansion looked like strangers.

Others did not find it strange when they saw this, but they felt even more sorry for a good girl like Lin Shuning who had to have such vicious parents.

Thinking back to a few days ago, when Lin Xueyue died, the two of them cried so hard that they were heartbroken, and they felt that they were really too cruel, and they felt even more pity for Lin Shuning.

But in such occasions, most people would walk with their relatives, so for a while, no one came to look for Lin Shuning.

Not long after, Lin Cheng started chatting with other officials, while Wang went to the Duke's Mansion and walked with Lin Rouan.

Lin Shuning was left alone, and when he was about to follow the crowd into the palace gate, a shout suddenly came from behind him.

"Sister Ning, Sister Ning!"

Lin Shuning looked back and saw Jiang Jiachun, dressed in a purple coat and delicate as jade, jumping and waving her hands as she ran towards her. Before she could react, her arms were tightly hugged by someone: "Sister Ning, I didn't expect to run into you here, what a coincidence!"

skillful?

If you want to enter the palace, this is the only way, right?

Lin Shuning held his forehead with his hand and agreed with a smile: "It is indeed a coincidence. Doesn't Sister Jiachun have to go with her family?"

Looking past Jiang Jiachun and behind her, one can see the family of Grand Secretary Jiang Taifu.

It is a strange thing to think about. They are clearly from a family of civil officials, but their daughter is not like a calm person. Instead, she is lively and outgoing.

"No need. Why bother with them?" Jiang Jiachun smiled nonchalantly, then curled her lips, looking aggrieved: "Don't you want to go with me, Sister Ning?"

"Yes, of course." Lin Shuning nodded quickly.

"That's good." Jiang Jiachun smiled and pulled Lin Shuning to chat about all sorts of things. As they chatted, they arrived at the Qingqian Hall.

Although it was not the first time that Lin Shuning came to the Dayan Palace, it was the first time he saw a banquet of the highest level.

As you step into the lavishly decorated hall, you’ll see the totems of auspicious beasts rising up from the white jade pillars, and dozens of luminous pearls sparkling on the golden dome, as if another ninth heaven had been created.

On the table surrounded by bright yellow brocade, golden plates and ivory chopsticks were displayed, and many delicacies from land and sea were prepared. Smiling palace maids stood at the four corners, holding white jade pots and crystal cups, ready to serve wine at any time. It was a scene of royal wealth and elegance.

Jiang Jiachun released the hand holding Lin Shuning's arm and stuck out her tongue: "Sister Ning, there are rules in the palace. Once you enter this hall, you can't sit randomly. I will go back first, and you should also go back to your seat in the Shangshu Mansion as soon as possible."

Lin Shuning nodded, said goodbye to Jiang Jiachun, then found a seat in the Shangshu Mansion and sat down next to Lin Cheng.

She rubbed her sore calves.

I was talking with Jiang Jiachun while walking just now, and I didn’t feel tired. Only now that I have taken a break do I realize how tired I am.

This palace is so huge. It took her nearly an hour to walk from outside the palace. It would be strange if her legs didn't feel sore.

Lin Shuning looked up angrily, and met the inquiring gazes of Jiang Yu, Gu Wen and several other princes.

Among them, of course, is Jiang Chen.

Xiao Li's Flying Dagger immediately flew out of her eyes and stabbed straight in. Then she snorted coldly and turned her head to avoid Jiang Chen's gaze.

If she could, she really wanted to tear him apart immediately.

But what surprised her was that Jiang Chen was not poisoned to death.

You have to know that she used an extremely fierce poison at that time, but looking at his current appearance, it is clear that he is not affected at all, and even his complexion seems to be quite good. It is really strange.

Could it be that there is a detoxification expert behind him?

Lin Shuning's eyes moved slightly. If that was true, then she would really be interested.

Jiang Yu, who was sitting opposite her with a serious look in his eyes, looked at her ever-changing expression and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Shouldn't he remind her not to keep rolling her eyes when she has a bad idea?

Suddenly, a voice that sounded like a smile came from behind.

"Sixth brother, what are you looking at? You look so serious. Could it be that you have set your eyes on a girl? Speaking of which, at your age, it is indeed time for you to get married."

Jiang Chen looked at him meaningfully, the jade fan in his hand gently resting against his chin: "If you like someone, just ask father for it. Is there any woman in this world who is unwilling to marry you?"
