After giving up being the wife of a powerful official, Ling Yunlu became a concubine

"In reply to the Queen, I dare not lie." Shen Yunjin lowered her head.

"King Qi is here!"

"Your son greets the Queen." Xiao Minshen entered the room and bowed to the Queen first.

The queen covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said, "Hey, Lao Wu, are you worried that I will bully your concubine?"

"I am worried that Concubine Shen will not speak and will make you angry."

After Xiao Minshen finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Shen Yunjin.

Shen Yunjin smiled at Xiao Minshen.

"It just so happens that I am discussing with Concubine Shen and want your father to grant you a princess." The queen smiled kindly.

"I have just proposed to the Emperor that Concubine Shen be promoted to the principal wife. This way, the others will have to be concubines."

The queen froze, "Child, the Shen family background is really a bit poor."

"Your Majesty, if you marry a wife, you should marry a virtuous woman. I think Shen is worthy of this title."

"That's enough. I'm tired now. Please kneel down and pay your respects."

Seeing that the Prince of Qi was unmoved, the Queen lost interest in trying to persuade him.

It's not like her niece from her mother's side has no place to go, and she may not even be interested in a concubine in the Prince of Qi's mansion.

"My son, please retire."

It was not until they returned to the palace that Shen Yunjin could not help but speak.

"Your Highness, you shouldn't have used the Emperor as a shield. What if the Empress goes to confirm with the Emperor?"

Xiao Minshen curled his lips, "Do you think this king is lying?"

"Isn't this the prince's excuse to the queen?"

"Silly!" Xiao Minshen reached out and scratched Shen Yunjin's nose.

What is the Imperial Palace? Xiao Minshen dared to guarantee that the Empress would know the conversation between him and the Emperor in the Hall of Mental Cultivation with just a simple question.

"But, what merits and virtues does my family have to qualify me to be the prince's principal wife?"

Father Shen was just a civil servant, a fourth-rank civil servant.

The Prince of Qi was a prince, and there were many unmarried daughters of officials of the fourth rank and above who could be candidates for his wife.

"Don't worry, Father will agree."

A powerless prince paired with a powerless Yue family is even less threatening.

Xiao Minshen believes that there are people who would be more willing to facilitate such an arrangement.

Shen Yunjin did not receive the decree to be promoted to the principal wife. Instead, she received the emperor's decree appointing the concubine of Duke Qing to be Xiao Minshen's concubine.

It is said that this concubine of the Duke of Qing is the daughter of the Duke of Qing's mistress.

The concubine was kept outside by Duke Qing for many years, and only before his death did he send his two children back to the Duke's Mansion to recognize their ancestry.

When the wife of Duke Qingguo saw Duke Qingguo bringing back his two grown-up children from his concubines, she immediately turned against him.

The wife of Duke Qing was not a domineering person. She was the one who took the initiative to take in Duke Qing's concubines.

The wife of the Duke of Qing could not tolerate this. She had been so virtuous, yet the Duke of Qing actually had a mistress outside.

The key point is that she had kept this mistress for more than ten years and she didn't even know about it.

If the concubine had not died of a serious illness, it is estimated that the wife of Duke Qing would not have known until her death that Duke Qing had a pair of children who were about the same age as her children.

The son of Duke Qing's concubine is already nineteen years old, and the daughter is eighteen, but neither of them is married yet.

The concubine must also want her children to return to the Duke's Mansion so that they can arrange a good marriage.

The wife of the Duke's Mansion said directly that since the Duke did not trust her, she would not interfere in any affairs of the two children.

Over the years, the affairs of the Duke's Mansion have always been taken care of by the Duke's wife.

When has the Duke ever interfered in the affairs of the women in the inner chambers?

It’s okay for my son, he can afford to delay for two years, but I can’t afford to delay my daughter.

There was no other way, the Duke could only cry and beg before the Emperor.

The Duke can be considered an old minister who had fought with the Emperor to establish the country.

He saw the old minister with gray beard crying in front of him.

The emperor suddenly thought of the King of Qi.

The Duke now only hoped to marry his daughter off and not disappoint his mistress, so he immediately knelt down to express his gratitude.

Besides, the position of concubine in the Prince of Qi's Mansion is a great favor from the Emperor.

The eighth day of the month is a good day for getting married.

Shen Yunjin stood by the window, listening to the joyful sounds coming from afar.

The back view looks very lonely and desolate.

Jinzhi and Yuzhi looked at each other, and Jinzhi walked forward.

"My lady, the eldest master said he has a gift for you."

Shen Yunjin came back to her senses and asked, "What kind of insect did he prepare for me this time?"

Ever since the little tiger learned to walk, he always brought some strange things to Shen Yunjin, calling them gifts.

Jinzhi and Yuzhi laughed at the same time. Jinzhi said while laughing, "Master, just go and take a look and you will know."

Shen Yunjin held Jinzhi and Yuzhi's hands and went to the yard outside.

The little tiger who was playing in the yard ran over as soon as he saw her come out.

"Walk slowly, be careful not to fall." Shen Yunjin took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat off his son's head.

The little tiger is now full of energy and never stops except for sleeping.

I take Mo Shiyi everywhere every day. He exercises a lot and eats a lot. He is taller than ordinary children.

"Mother, this is for you." The little tiger carefully handed over a small box.

"What is it?" Shen Yunjin took it with a smile.

"You'll know once you open it." The little tiger looked at Shen Yunjin expectantly.

Shen Yunjin opened the box carefully.

There are three clay figures in the box, one of which has a slightly bulging belly.

"This is the father, the one in the middle is the little tiger, and the one on the far right is the mother and brother."

Shen Yunjin took a look and saw several clay figures in the box whose faces could not be seen.

"Great!" Shen Yunjin took the little tiger's hand and walked into the house.

The little tiger touched Shen Yunjin's belly and asked, "Is your brother good today?"

Yuzhi laughed and teased, "Master, what if it's your sister?"

The little tiger tilted his head and looked, "No, it's my brother."

Shen Yunjin thought of the dream he had had and touched the little tiger's head.

The little tiger turned to the side and said, "Mother, I am already grown up. You can no longer touch my head."

Now, everyone in the room started laughing.

The little tiger, who was just over one year old, looked at them with a bewildered expression.

The depression in Shen Yunjin's heart finally dissipated.

What more could she ask for when she has such a caring son?

Xiao Minshen's joy at marrying a concubine lasted until dark.

For the first time, the little tiger suggested sleeping with Shen Yunjin tonight.

When the little tiger was young, he always slept with his wet nurse. After Eleven came, he slept in the same bed with Eleven.

Shen Yunjin didn't want to be alone in the empty room tonight, so she agreed.

The little tiger ran back to the room excitedly and hugged his little quilt.

He climbed onto the bed and said he would sleep outside to protect his mother and brother.

After Shen Yunjin coaxed the little tiger to sleep, she felt sleepy.

When she was about to fall asleep, a person suddenly stood in front of the bed.
