It doesn’t matter, my boyfriend is a eunuch!

It's unnecessary.

Lin Zhihe was extremely angry and sad, and even wanted to laugh.

It turns out that people will laugh when they are extremely helpless.

I thought I was smart for once. I made a lot of plans and looked at Concubine Li with a few cold eyes. In the end, my second sister didn't bring the child over at all.

Why are you going out without your children?

Suppressing all the complaints in his heart, Lin Zhihe forced a smile, stood up and went to greet Lin Zhiqiang.

Lin Zhiqiang was a little flattered, and her face showed that this person must have taken the wrong medicine today.

Maybe Lin Zhihe was spoiled in the past, and she never behaved well towards her brothers because her whole family liked her. But now, Lin Zhihe is afraid of being exposed, so she never takes the initiative to get close to these relatives.

Lin Zhihe still didn't give up. She pretended to look around and asked in confusion, "Hey, didn't Taotao come with my second sister?"

"Oh, Taotao has caught a cold in the past few days and has been recuperating in the mansion."

Looking at the haggard appearance of the second sister, the dark circles under her eyes cannot be concealed and her eyes are filled with fatigue. It seems that this little girl is quite ill.

"Oh, then second sister, you have to take care of yourself too. You can't get sick if the child gets sick." Lin Zhihe held her second sister's hand with heartache.

Lin Zhihe said this sincerely. After all, when facing a mother who is worried about her child, others will pay more attention to the child and often ignore the mother who is suffering.

Tears gradually welled up in the second sister's eyes. She must have been very touched.

The two looked at each other for a while. Lin Zhihe felt that this tender atmosphere was a bit strange. If he continued to look at each other, he would be in trouble. So he stopped looking at her first.

"Sister, sit down."

Lin Zhihe pulled her second sister to sit next to her, poured her a cup of tea, and handed it to her, "Drink some quickly, the corners of your mouth are chapped from the heat."

It would have been fine if the word "getting angry" hadn't been mentioned. As soon as Lin Zhiqiang mentioned it, she looked at Lin Zhihe with tears in her eyes again. Her emotions, which had originally calmed down, began to rise again. "How can I not be worried? Taotao was fine before. He ate well, slept well, and even let you hold him."

Huh? Is she some lowly person?

Lin Zhiqiang took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears from her eyes. "But who would have thought that she would start crying non-stop from the next day. No matter if it was me or the nurse trying to comfort her, it was useless. She just kept crying."

"She has been crying all summer, and the prince is very distressed and anxious."

No wonder I didn’t see Taotao during those days of the birthday party, turns out this is the reason.

"Are you not used to staying at the Lin Mansion?" Lin Zhihe asked tentatively.

Actually, Lin Zhihe wanted to ask if the child missed her biological mother. After all, Taotao's biological mother was King Cheng's concubine. But this was not pleasant to hear, so she took a detour and raised the question implicitly.

Lin Zhiqiang looked normal, not knowing whether she had heard the hidden meaning. "I thought it was like this, and thought I would be fine after returning to the palace. But who knew it would get worse after returning to the palace, and I developed a high fever. Fortunately, the nurse discovered it early, and the palace doctor prescribed medicine in time to treat it."

"It's okay as long as the fever goes away." Lin Zhihe didn't know what to say and could only offer this dry consolation.

"It keeps coming back, but it never heals."

After talking for such a long time, Lin Zhiqiang finally thought of picking up the teacup in her hand and took a few sips to moisten her throat.

Maybe it was because she was too worried, or maybe it was because she didn't sleep well and didn't have enough energy, Lin Zhiqiang's hand shook when she put the teacup back, and she spilled the tea out.

The scalding hot water spilled onto the thigh of Lin Zhihe who was standing next to her.

"Hey, are you okay?" The second sister picked up the handkerchief and hurriedly wiped Lin Zhihe's skirt.

Lin Zhihe picked up the tea leaves that were still warm on her legs and gave her a bright smile, "It's okay, it's okay."

At this moment, Li Xian shouted in his shrill voice, "The Queen has arrived."

When everyone saw the queen coming, they all stood up hurriedly and greeted her.

After everyone had greeted each other, the queen slowly spoke in a very friendly voice, "We are all family, and today is a family dinner, so there is no need to be so formal."

The queen tilted her head slightly and saw Lin Zhihe holding up her skirt, which seemed to have a water stain on it.

"Lady Lin, what's wrong with you?" The Queen's voice drifted over.

"Thank you for your concern, Queen. I accidentally got my dress wet, but it's okay."

"How can this be okay?" The Queen's voice was very urgent. "Quick, Li Xian, take Lin Cairen to my closet and find her a dress to change into. It's so uncomfortable to wear a wet dress."

"Pick the pastel color that I like best," the queen instructed Li Xian.

Upon hearing this, Li Xian took Lin Zhihe to the queen's bedroom to change clothes.

"This is the Queen's favorite dress when she was a princess. The current Queen Mother obtained the material and asked a dozen palace maids to make it overnight." Li Xian handed the dress to Lin Zhihe while introducing it.

After traveling through time for so long, she has also learned to appreciate things.

The dress in front of me should be made of the finest Song brocade. It has a light texture and a very good drape, and the dress itself has a lustrous luster.

The color of the gouache is also very well blended, pink but not gaudy, and has a very textured color.

"When I return to the palace, I will ask Xiao Taohong to wash it clean and send it back to the Queen." Lin Zhihe said as he put on his clothes.

"Hey, this is the reward given to the talented person by the Queen Mother. Just accept it." Li Xian smiled with a few teeth showing.

When Lin Zhihe returned to the banquet wearing the queen's clothes, everyone was still sitting upright. The huge palace was very quiet, with only the sound of the palace servants serving the dishes.

It seems that the atmosphere of team-building in ancient times was also so awkward.

The Empress cleared her throat and then spoke: "I have held the Phoenix Seal for more than twenty years, but I am not talented enough to help the Emperor. Now the Emperor is worried about the war in the previous dynasty and has not entered the harem for a long time. I am afraid that you sisters will be lonely, so I arranged this simple banquet. I hope you sisters can enjoy it."

As he spoke, he poured himself a glass of wine and drank it in one gulp.

After the leader gave his opening speech, the subordinates all stood up tactfully and drank a glass of wine with the leader.

Then, everyone started eating. Although Concubine Li was dissatisfied, she did not lose face for the Queen, and just quietly rolled her eyes.

Overall, it was a harmonious team-building event.

"Second sister, I will go to the mansion to see Taotao tomorrow." Lin Zhihe picked up a piece of Chinese cabbage with chopsticks and asked for his second sister's opinion.

While eating, Lin Zhihe slapped her thigh and thought, yes, although God closed a door for her, he also left a window for her!

Visiting a sick nephew, what a noble and honorable reason.

The Queen would not stop her from leaving the palace, and her second sister would not stop her from visiting the patient.

At that time, she only needs to hug the sick little kid and then take two drops of blood without anyone noticing...

"Okay." Lin Zhiqiang suddenly held Lin Zhihe's hand with tears in her eyes, "Sister has grown up and knows how to feel sorry for her."

...

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

The queen looked at the time and decided that it was time to leave. Everyone left, appearing reluctant but feeling relieved inside.

Lin Zhihe pulled Lin Zhiqiang aside to chat and fell to the back of the team. Suddenly, he found that the people in front of him knelt down one after another.

While Lin Zhihe was still confused, Lin Zhiqiang pulled her down to kneel.

Only the emperor could make all the concubines kneel down and the surroundings fall into silence in an instant.

When he thought it was the emperor, Lin Zhihe tried his best to hide himself behind his second sister, and wanted to squeeze his head into the crack in the wall, striving to make his presence felt as little as possible.

It turned out that Lin Zhihe was worrying too much. The emperor didn't notice anyone at all and was stopped by Concubine Li as soon as he reached the door.

"Your Majesty, you are here to pick me up at Qianqiu Palace, right?" Concubine Li's coquettish voice floated in the air, the ending tone was so sweet and trembling that it seemed to float above the clouds in the sky.

Who can bear this? The emperor is no exception. "Of course I am here to pick up my beloved concubine."

Afterwards, Lin Zhihe could only hear the sound of a group of people leaving.

After a long time, everyone dared to raise their heads and saw the backs of the emperor and Concubine Li.

Concubine Li kidnapped the emperor at the gate of Qianqiu Palace.
