It doesn’t matter, my boyfriend is a eunuch!
Chapter 136: Concubine Frugality
Lin Zhihe's words were light and the ending was so soft that it seemed to flow into the white clouds in the sky, and no emotion could be heard.
Lin Zhiqiang carefully observed Lin Zhihe's face, but found that she could not see any answer, so she could only ponder.
Lin Zhihe just looked at her with a frown on her face, racking his brains to think about her problem.
She now experienced the joy of being in a high position and having power. Lin Zhiqiang was no longer her second sister, but someone who looked at her face and tried her best to come up with a suitable answer to a strange question.
Thinking of this, Lin Zhihe finally felt a little happy. As expected, power is the best stimulant.
"Today..." Lin Zhiqiang glanced at Lin Zhifu, trying to get the answer from her, but Lin Zhifu had no idea and could only guess.
"Ah, the peacock at home has the most beautiful feathers at this time. Third sister used to go see the peacock every year at this time. Do you want to go home to see the peacock?" Lin Zhiqiang gave her answer carefully.
"That blue peacock?" Lin Zhifu repeated, her tone full of doubt, and it was obvious that she was not convinced by Lin Zhiqiang.
Seeing the two people's thoughts going further and further away, the words that came out of their mouths were like a wooden hammer, hitting her temple.
My head started to ache again.
"Today is the seventh day after Xiao Taohong's death." Lin Zhihe's voice was not loud, but it was loud and clear.
As soon as these words were spoken, Lin Zhifu and Lin Zhiqiang were both stunned, like puppets, not even moving.
"Eldest sister, thank you for coming to the palace. Today is not the right time. I will visit you at the Duke's Mansion another day."
These words of sending her off were too obvious, so Lin Zhifu and the other person could only get up and walk out, looking back at her from time to time.
"Xiaoyu, send it off for me."
Not long after the two of them left, Liu Li came back.
"I heard that Lin Zhiqiang and Lin Zhifu are here?"
Lin Zhihe nodded and looked at what was in Liu Li's hand.
He was carrying a lot of food and a variety of beautiful folk items in his hands.
"I went out of the palace to buy it specially. I will send it to Xiao Taohong later to make her happy."
"Hey, what is golden marigold pastry? Is it delicious?"
"Master, why did you think of asking about the Golden Candle Su?" Liu Li put the things in place and took a look at Lin Zhihe.
Seeing that Lin Zhihe only had a vague understanding, Liu Li continued to explain, "Golden Calendula Pastry is a top-grade and precious tonic. It takes several years just to gather all the raw materials for its production. Only a few dozen are offered as tribute to the palace every year, so it is also called Golden Calendula Pastry."
"There are only a few dozen of them. How can grandma eat them all? From what Lin Zhifu said, they don't seem to be that precious."
"It's not uncommon for the Lin Mansion. There are three thousand concubines in the palace, but the total tribute is only fifty. The Lin Mansion collects at least fifty lamps every year."
This gap shocked Lin Zhihe and was completely beyond her imagination.
"Why is there less in the palace than in the Lin Mansion?"
"Of course there are fewer in the palace than in the Lin Mansion. The Lin Mansion itself is a wealthy and powerful family. In addition to the foundation of three generations, plus the marriage with the second prince, so many people want to curry favor with the Lin Mansion. What's so rare about fifty lamps every year?"
That’s right, the food, clothing and other expenses in the Lin Mansion are indeed more luxurious than those in the palace.
For some reason, Lin Zhihe linked this matter to Concubine Li's refusal to make new clothes, although they were obviously two completely unrelated things.
Concubine Li is also extremely extravagant. How come she didn’t even make a set of clothes this year?
"Hey, you said Concubine Li didn't ask the Ministry of Internal Affairs to make clothes this year, so are the clothes she wears this year all from last year?"
This question was a bit strange. Asking a concubine whether the clothes she was wearing were new made her want to laugh.
But Liu Li didn't take it as a joke. He thought about it for a while, and then hesitated, "I'm not sure about this. I need to ask someone. Do I need to check?"
"Check it out. I'm quite curious."
Putting down what they were doing, the two of them got on the carriage to leave the palace.
The advantage of becoming a royal concubine is that she can enter and leave the palace freely at any time without the queen's permission.
The place chosen at the beginning was really the right one. It is very close to the palace, and she can come to see her from time to time in the future.
Lin Zhihe stood in front of Xiao Taohong's tombstone and found that the wreath that Liu Li had made for her a few days ago was still very fresh, except that a few petals had fallen off due to the wind.
I don't know if it was blown away by the wind or if it was played with by this girl.
Thinking of this, Lin Zhihe smiled unconsciously.
She watched Liu Li lay out the prepared things one by one and began to mutter to herself.
"Taohong, Liu Li and I came to see you. How have you been these days? Have you gotten used to it here?"
As he spoke, tears welled up in his eyes, instantly obliterating his vision.
"Xiao Taohong, don't be angry with me. It's not that I won't help you get revenge, just give me a little more time."
Liu Li turned around and glanced at Lin Zhihe, then took over the conversation, "Xiao Taohong, I bought you a lot of delicious food, as well as some new snacks that Huizhufang has developed. If there's anything you want to eat, just tell me in your dreams."
Lin Zhihe quickly interrupted, "Tell me too! Come and see me."
She repeated it in her heart several times, Silly girl, come and see me in your dream.
Every night before going to bed, she prayed, praying that Xiao Taohong would come into her dream, even if only for a few seconds, even just for a glance.
She didn't know if the little girl was still angry with her or had gone crazy playing outside, and she never wanted to come to her.
Now I can understand Lin Yingchen. This is what it feels like to be separated from your loved ones forever. This is what it feels like to want to see someone in a dream but not be able to see him or her.
The pain was not unbearable but it was like a thorn buried in the blood vessels, causing pain with every step.
If you say it hurts, it is indeed within the tolerable range, and sometimes it is even vague. Is this feeling painful?
This feeling is torturous.
So come and see me in my dreams.
Liu Li took down the wreath in front of the monument and made a new one and placed it in front. It was more colorful and exquisite than the previous one.
It had been dry these days, so Liu Li fetched a bucket of water from a nearby river and watered all the flowers and plants in front of the grave.
They specially planted a phoenix tree in front of the grave. The leaves of the phoenix tree were large, just enough to protect Xiao Taohong from wind and rain.
"Xiao Taohong, you have to be good. I will come to see you next time." Lin Zhihe was reluctant to look at the tombstone and finally said this.
Liu Li supported her and walked forward.
Suddenly, a breeze blew.
As if sensing something, Lin Zhihe looked back and discovered that the wreath that Liu Li had just made was blown to the ground.
Lin Zhihe ran back quickly and picked up the wreath.
The wreath was quite heavy, and the wind just now didn't seem to be able to blow it away.
"Xiao Taohong, is that you?"
"Are you coming back to see me? Is that right?" Lin Zhihe was a little anxious and his voice became hoarse.
"You're back, aren't you!" The tears that had been hidden in her eyes finally fell, drizzling down.
"Little Taohong, Little Taohong!" Lin Zhihe threw himself straight onto the grave.
Liu Li stopped her and held her in her arms.
"master…"
