The stunning beauty of Qing Dynasty

Hua Rui continued, "This matter is not over yet. Princess Lijia has already entered the palace, but she has never canceled her engagement with General Lin. People outside the palace say that this princess is of noble status but cannot keep a husband. They also say that General Lin and that cousin love each other and were husband and wife in their previous life, so they should be a couple in this life as well!"

Nanny Wang has lived for half her life and knows everything. She was very sensitive to the fact that something was wrong. She turned around and looked at Rouyin, "Fujin, the matter of General Lin has caused a lot of uproar among the people. I'm afraid there is something wrong."

Rouyin said rationally, "No matter what, this fire can't burn us. Besides, since General Lin dared to do such a thing, he has to swallow the bitter fruit. It's just a pity that Princess Lijia has attracted some evil maggots and flies because of this marriage."

When Yinzhen returned home after finishing his official duties in the evening, he saw his little wife waiting for him at the door, with a cold look on her pretty face.

Yinzhen hesitated and stopped his steps on the way to the gate. He stood there stiffly, thinking quickly about whether his recent actions had offended his wife. After thinking about it, he asked tentatively, "Why didn't you play mahjong today? Did the two children offend you?"

Rouyin was helpless, "Master, the two children are still young, how could they provoke me? You can't play horse cards all the time!"

Seeing this, Yinzhen realized that it was definitely not his fault, so he relaxed, stepped over the threshold and naturally helped Fu Jin sit down, "Why is Yin'er unhappy?"

Rouyin said angrily, "Master, have you ever heard about General Lin's escape from marriage?" While saying this, Rouyin secretly observed his eyes.

Yinzhen waved his hand, signaling the servants to leave. After thinking for a while, he said, "So it's this matter. The matter of General Lin's mansion involves a lot of people. General Lin is supporting the prince behind the scenes. It's true that he fell into someone else's calculations when he made such a big fuss. But General Lin did disregard the imperial power and committed a serious crime. This little General Lin will definitely be severely punished by the emperor for running away from marriage."

Rouyin was a little curious, "Then the marriage between Princess Lijia and General Lin..."

"It's impossible to do so. Lijia has indeed suffered some unprovoked misfortune. Uncle Changning (Prince Gong) will never let it go." Yinzhen held Rouyin's hand tentatively and explained the calculations in detail.

Rouyin guessed that some princes were planning to kill the crown prince.

It was just as Rouyin thought. At this moment, in the eldest prince's house, Yinzhi was venting his anger proudly, "Yinreng relies on his position as the crown prince to be arrogant and look down on others all day long. I'll see how he cuts off his own arm!"

Mingzhu looked at the arrogant eldest prince, feeling somewhat helpless. Although the eldest prince was extremely brave in battle and a master of military tactics, he was absolutely helpless in the face of such conspiracies and intrigues. Although he succeeded in defeating the prince once this time, the prince would definitely get back at him later. Mingzhu thought about it and shook her head in her heart.

On the other side, in General Lin's mansion, the lights were on. Lin Chenghe, who had originally planned to rush to the border with his father's brother Commander Wang, had already left the capital with his cousin He Xiulan. But they received a secret letter from their father in the middle of the night, so they rushed back overnight.

Lin Chenghe and He Xiulan, who had just returned to the courtyard, were still covered in dust from their journey when they were scolded, "You rebellious son, kneel down."

Hearing this, Lin Chenghe knelt down without saying a word. He Xiulan, who had already gained most of her courage by eloping, stood stupidly aside, already frightened by these setbacks.

Lin Zhengwei walked forward and slapped him hard, causing some blood to come out of the corner of Lin Chenghe's mouth. Fu Jin Suo Chuoluo, who was always monitoring Lin Zhengwei's movements, heard the report from her confidant, and hurried over after knowing that her son had returned.

The person he saw was his son who had just been beaten. He rushed forward to protect his son, "Grandpa, He'er is your biological son, how could you kill him like this?!"

Lin Zhengwei looked at his wife who still only knew how to protect others, and felt his head hurt even more annoyed. "Do you know what your good son has done! He escaped from the marriage with the princess, which is a matter of life and death. Why did he have to kill the whole family?" After saying that, Lin Zhengwei could not help but kick Lin Chenghe. Suochuoruo immediately hugged his legs and said resentfully: "It was because I had to bring home the orphan of your brother who died in the battle. Now this little vixen has caused He'er to get into trouble." As she spoke, Suochuoruo glared viciously at He Xiulan who was standing stupidly beside her.

Lin Zhengwei looked at Fu Jin, who still didn't think his son had done anything wrong, and felt full of regret. He shouldn't have married a stupid woman just to choose a woman from a powerful family. Her head was filled with straw, and she couldn't have any intelligence. Her son was also a stupid straw bag. His back hunched over in an instant. "Tomorrow, Lin Cheng and you will come to the palace with me to plead guilty. No matter what punishment His Majesty says, you have to accept it."

Upon hearing this, Sochoulo, who was holding her injured son, couldn't help but burst into tears, "My poor son, it's all that vixen's fault. This is your only legitimate son, you must save him!" This time, Sochoulo's crying lasted the whole night.

On the second day, an imperial decree came from the palace that Concubine De wanted to see her two grandsons.

Rouyin started washing up early, "Liu Qing, bring me that mint-colored robe with lotus pattern."

"Madam, shouldn't you wear something brighter? This one is a bit too plain." Liu Qing asked in confusion.

"We are going to pay a visit to Concubine De. If we wear too bright clothes in the palace, it will easily attract other people's attention. Besides, I, your master, am already conspicuous enough, so I can't dress too much." After adjusting her collar, Rouyin looked at herself in the dressing mirror. She had a short bun, black hair and red lips, and she felt too energetic. She dipped some white powder and applied it on her lips. The mirror reflected a sickly beauty with a slightly weak face.

Rouyin turned her cheek with satisfaction and touched her belly which had not shown any sign of pregnancy for two months. With the help of the system, she knew that she was already pregnant with four children. She was worried that Yinzhen would give up this baby because she got pregnant just after the confinement period. Although she knew that her body was stronger than an ox, Yinzhen didn't know it, so she planned to reveal it in three months. Fortunately, she could go out of the house and move around while the month was still young.

Yinzhen, holding Yilejia in his left hand and Honghui in his right hand, was already waiting beside the carriage. Seeing this from afar, Rouyin quickened her pace, "Master, why are you holding the baby by yourself instead of letting the wet nurse hold it?" She reached out and took the waving little baby Yilejia into her arms, then glared at Yinzhen angrily. Yinzhen looked away guiltily.

"Master is very strong! I will definitely not let the two children fall!" Yinzhen coaxed Honghui and Yilejia for a while before letting the wet nurse take them away.

"Master..." Rouyin called Yinzhen a few more times helplessly. Yinzhen looked at his little wife who turned her head away and sulked, and coaxed her gently for a long time until Rouyin smiled at him again and he was relieved.
