People who were closer to Lin Wanyue were craning their necks to watch the fun. When they saw the title of the book, someone couldn't help but read it out loud: "Rules for Concubines?"

"Pfft..." Liuli almost couldn't hold back her laughter. She covered her mouth and glanced at Yi Qianhuan.

Yi Qianhuan frowned slightly, and the handsome face of Ji Chilian, who was like a jade Buddha, and the ridiculous things that happened between them five years ago emerged in her mind.

The slender hands clenched into fists.

Since she dared to return to the capital, she was prepared to meet Ji Chilian.

But now this man came in person to give gifts and slap Lin Wanyue in the face, why?

She would not be so self-righteous as to think that he wanted to help her.

Unable to figure out what Ji Chilian was thinking for a moment, Yi Qianhuan's eyes became increasingly darker.

"The Governor has important matters to attend to and cannot return to the capital for the time being, so he ordered me to carefully prepare this gift to congratulate Prince Helian on marrying a beautiful concubine." Lin Tong said with a smile.

When he spoke the truth about the word "beautiful concubine", he emphasized the tone deliberately.

Lin Wanyue: “???”

Helian Xiujin: "!!!"

The guests present: "..."

The huge wedding hall fell silent again.

Helian Shanhai and Liao looked at each other and saw disbelief in each other's eyes.

How did things come to this?

They had sent invitations to the Governor's Mansion in advance, and the content of the invitations would clearly state that today was the official wedding day of Helian Xiujin and Lin Wanyue.

It’s not about marrying Lin Wanyue as a concubine.

But Ji Chilian sent a gift and asked to open it in the wedding hall. Wasn't this just an attempt to express his attitude in public?

He hoped that Helian Xiujin would marry Lin Wanyue as his concubine.

Then this is most likely the emperor's original intention.

“Pah, pah, pah—”

The sound of Yi Qianhuan clapping and laughing broke the silence.

"The gift from the Governor is really good. It's obvious that he really put a lot of thought into it. I'm sure Princess Lin is so happy that she doesn't know what to say, right?"

Hearing Yi Qianhuan's laughing voice, Lin Wanyue couldn't stop shaking all over.

I couldn't tell whether it was out of humiliation or anger.

But no matter how broken she was inside, she still had to smile and respond to Yi Qianhuan: "Yes, yes... I like it very much..."

"That's good that you like it. After reading this box of books, Princess Lin will completely master how to be a qualified concubine. From now on, Princess Lin will be able to serve Prince Helian well." Lin Tong still kept smiling.

He suddenly turned around and walked towards Yi Qianhuan.

Taking out a gold-plated invitation from his arms, when Lin Tong faced Yi Qianhuan, the smile on his face was obviously more sincere and respectful. He bent down slightly and presented the invitation with both hands.

"Madam, this is what my family's governor asked me to pass on to you."

Lin Wanyue looked at the scene in surprise, her hands tightly grasping the hem of her wedding dress.

Her long nails caught on the tiny diamonds on the hem of her skirt, and even though her nail was turned over, she didn't feel any pain.

Not only her, but everyone else was also shocked by this scene.

Lin Tong is Ji Chilian's confidant. Although he is usually gentle in his attitude towards others, they have never seen anyone other than Ji Chilian and the emperor who could make him show such respect.

Could it be that Jiu Qiansui sent a box of books just to support Yi Qianhuan?

Look at Lin Tong's attitude, it's obvious that Jiu Qiansui and Yi Qianhuan have a close relationship!

Yi Qianhuan hesitated for a moment, but still accepted the gold-embossed invitation and handed it to Liuli: "I can't guarantee that I can keep the appointment."

"The governor said that everything is up to you."

After Lin Tong finished speaking, he saluted towards Yi Qianhuan and left with the Jinyiwei.

"Prince, the auspicious time is almost over, it's time to continue the ceremony." Yi Qianhuan flicked the dust off her dress and looked at Helian Xiujin and Lin Wanyue calmly.

Things have come to this, and today Lin Wanyue can only be a concubine.

Ji Chilian is second only to the emperor and above everyone else, and they, the Pingyang Marquis’ Mansion, cannot afford to offend him.

Helian Xiujin gritted his teeth and glanced at Lin Wanyue.

Lin Wanyue's eyes were red, and she said softly: "My Lord, as long as I can be with you, I am willing to be your concubine."

Helian Xiujin was deeply moved. He reached out and grasped Lin Wanyue's hand. He leaned close to her ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "All this is only temporary. Yue'er, I won't let you be my concubine forever."

Lin Wanyue held Helian Xiujin's hand and nodded slightly.

According to the rules for becoming a concubine, Lin Wanyue has to offer tea to Yi Qianhuan.

The servant brought a chair and placed it a little below and to the right of Liao. After Yi Qianhuan sat down, Lin Wanyue slowly walked up to her and knelt down.

The humiliation overwhelmed her like a tide, so much so that her hands holding the tea bowl could no longer stop shaking.

Helian Xiu Jin stood behind Lin Wanyue with a dark face. He stared at Yi Qianhuan, with a question lingering in his mind.

What is the relationship between Ji Chilian and Yi Qianhuan?

"Madam, have some tea." Lin Wanyue said with her head down, and handed the teacup in her hand forward.

Yi Qianhuan reached out to take the tea.

Lin Wanyue's eyes darkened, and she was about to tilt her hand to make it look like Yi Qianhuan had knocked over the teacup. But Yi Qianhuan seemed to know what she was going to do and held her hand in time.

The tender flesh on the palm of her hand stuck directly to the teacup, and the burning pain made Lin Wanyue frown.

"If this tea spills, it means God doesn't want you to marry into the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion. Aunt Lin, you'd better hold it steady." Yi Qianhuan said softly.

"Yes." Lin Wanyue secretly bit her back teeth.

Yi Qianhuan took the teacup steadily, took a sip, then waved to Liuli.

Liuli immediately took out a emerald green jade bracelet from her sleeve, walked up to Lin Wanyue and handed it to her: "This is a gift from the Crown Prince's wife to you."

Lin Wanyue lowered her head and took the imperial green jadeite bracelet. She was amazed, but the bitterness in her heart became even stronger.

It seems that Yi Qianhuan has been living a pretty good life outside over the past five years.

Look at her outfit, she looks very noble, and even the gift given to her is priceless imperial green.

Why did she try her best but still couldn't defeat Yi Qianhuan?

Yi Qianhuan gave a gift when meeting Lin Wanyue, which was equivalent to recognizing Lin Wanyue as his concubine.

Lin Wanyue is then qualified to serve tea to Liao and Helian Shanhai.

After Liao and Helian Shanhai gave Lin Wanyue a red envelope, the ceremony of welcoming a concubine was completed.

"Madam Lin's bright red outfit doesn't look right. You should go downstairs and change it quickly," Liuli said.

"Yes." Lin Wanyue took a last deep look at Yi Qianhuan and left with the help of the nanny.

Normally, there is no need to hold a banquet when marrying a concubine, but the guests are still here and the banquet has been prepared in the yard outside, so the guests are invited to the banquet.

Helian Xiujin did not let Yi Qianhuan go with him to entertain the guests, and Yi Qianhuan herself had no interest, so she went back with Liuli to the small courtyard where she used to live.

Qingzhuyuan.

As soon as he stepped into the archway, Yi Qianhuan felt a sense of depression coming towards him.

She stopped and looked ahead.

I saw that the flower beds in the yard were still planted with some of the original owner's favorite flowers, and they were well taken care of, and all of them were blooming in full splendor.

There is also a swing frame under the big tree on the west side of the flower bed.

The original owner used to like sitting on the swing and daydreaming, staring at the gate of the courtyard, waiting for Helian Xiujin to come and see her.

She was supposed to be a female general who could fight on the battlefield and build a career, but in the end she became a woman in the harem who was imprisoned by her emotions.

Thinking of this, Yi Qianhuan’s eyes dimmed.

It's not the original owner who is wrong, but those who don't appreciate her efforts.

Liuli followed Yi Qianhuan into the courtyard and couldn't help asking, "Miss, why did you give Aunt Lin such a precious gift?"

That is pure imperial green jadeite. You will never find a second piece of imperial green more perfect than it in the entire capital.

"That's the money to buy her life." Yi Qianhuan said lightly.
