Marrying Gold and Jade

Outside the side hall, Qingdai was explaining that she was not feeling well. The Queen knew it very well, but the nanny kept saying something like "Don't be so pampered, it's breaking the rules" and so on.

Lin Yu knew that the person who came was not friendly, so for the first time he held Xiao Lan's tail and took the initiative to wrap it around his waist.

It was snowing and dry outside, and Lin Yu's feverish body was the warmest.

Xiao Lan happily clung to her, but tactfully let go of her chest, waiting for her to have a good sleep.

But who would have thought that the next moment the palace door would be pushed open from the outside.

"The girl is so sleepy, why don't you check the time!"

Lin Yu glanced over the gauze curtain and saw that the nanny was about fifty years old. Her face was covered with traces of hardships, and her whole body was as majestic as the ruler behind her.

Lin Yu did not respond to this, but continued to lie on his side.

The maid then paced to the couch and said, "Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because His Highness favors you. This is the inner court. Whatever the young lady wants to do, she must follow the rules of the Empress."

Seeing that everyone had approached and the girl on the couch was still pretending to be dead, Nanny Li became immediately annoyed.

If an ordinary noble lady heard these words, she would have bowed her head in shame and admitted her mistake. This merchant's daughter is really shameless.

“Miss Lin!” Nanny Li said as she stepped onto the step and reached out to lift the blanket off her body. “Still…ah!!”

The moment the quilt was turned up, Xiao Lan, who was lying dormant underneath, also turned up, roared and bared his fangs, and rushed towards the people.

Nanny Li tried to flee in panic, but she fell and collapsed on the ground with her limbs spread out.

She didn't care about the pain in her waist and hips. Seeing that the giant python wrapped around the girl was about to catch up with her, she used her hands and feet to climb out.

She shouted at the two accompanying palace maids in panic: "Save me, quickly...save me!"

Even the steady old nanny was frightened, not to mention the two young palace maids. They retreated in panic, and the rulers in their hands lost their balance and fell to the ground with a clang.

Nanny Li could not climb as fast as Xiao Lan in the end. The snake's tail was nimble and wrapped around her neck. Its mouth was wide open, as if it was looking for a better place to bite her.

Lin Yu just listened quietly to the commotion in the hall, listening to the arrogant old lady completely losing her "rules" and rolling around and screaming in the hall.

If it were her old self, perhaps she would have felt pity by now.

But this imperial city seemed so strange. However, on the second day after arriving here, her mood changed. She coldly thought that she should let Xiao Lan teach her a lesson for a while.

When the time came, she coughed twice and led Zhu Lian Qing Dai over to help her up.

"What's going on here?"

She imitated the Queen's ability to pretend.

Seeing that Madam Li was about to be strangled to death by the giant python, the accompanying palace maid trembled and begged, "Miss, please, save Madam Li..."

Lin Yu was looking extremely sick at this moment, and he looked extremely weak, his eyes were weak.

"How did it get there?" She said quietly, "That is His Highness's favorite, most precious snake. Please don't hurt it."

Another accompanying palace maid just called a few eunuchs in. When the group heard this, they immediately shrank back and dared not step forward to rescue people.

This is how it is in this palace. Sometimes the lives of animals are more valuable than those of humans, and they are used to it.

Lin Yu was determined not to get out of bed and follow the rules today. Seeing that everyone was intimidated, he gave Qingdai a look.

Qingdai was bold enough not to be afraid of Xiaolan. She took out Lin Yu's cloak and laid it next to Nanny Li.

Sure enough, after a while, the giant python that tried to strangle people calmed down, slid down into the clothes, and allowed Qingdai to pick it up.

The two accompanying palace maids immediately went to support Li Ma, but saw that her skirt was wet and she had become incontinent due to fear.

There are a lot of people gathered around, and what happened today will definitely spread.

Nanny Li had enjoyed a glorious life as the prince's wet nurse for half her life, but after arriving at Chonghua Palace, she could not escape her fate of losing her dignity in her later years.

Qingdai put Xiaolan beside the bed and turned around without feeling sorry for her.

She just covered her nose with a handkerchief and said coldly, "Mammy, you are an old lady in the palace. How can you be so ignorant of the rules and drenched yourself in the master's palace?"

"If this is the case, how can you teach others the rules?"

When the news reached Kunning Palace, even the empress, who was a calm and composed person, turned pale for a moment.

There was no other reason. Nanny Li had been by her side for thirty years, but after this incident, she was completely ruined.

Looking at Xu Jinxuan in front of her, who was three-quarters similar to Concubine Ling, and thinking of the woman's evil behavior back then, the Queen's nails painted with nail polish dug into her palms.

"The girl you picked is quite fierce."

Xu Jinxuan was still as lazy as ever, and asked nonchalantly, "What happened?"

"Just like your mother, she likes to scare people with snakes."

After hearing her talk about her mother, Xu Jinxuan's expression became slightly serious. His sharp phoenix eyes captured people like a poisonous snake staring at its prey.

Finally, the queen couldn't bear it anymore and turned her eyes away with a guilty look.

Xu Jinxuan then said: "Snakes won't bite you if you don't provoke them."

After saying this, he stood up and bowed in a very perfunctory manner.

"Since something has happened in the palace, I will not bother you any more."

It was not until the young man walked out of Kunning Palace on his own that the empress's heart, which had been hanging in her throat, finally settled down a little. After entering the inner palace bedroom, she could no longer bear it and picked up a plum vase and threw it down hard.

The blue-and-white porcelain pieces were scattered all over the floor, and even the red plum blossom inside was not spared, sticking sadly to the floor-standing clothes.

"Exactly the same... What an unruly thing, he is exactly like that woman!"

"That woman died, and he came back again. I will suffer for them and their son for the rest of my life!"

It has been thirteen years since the fifth prince left the palace, and the palace maids around the queen haven't been so angry in thirteen years.

Liang Rui had to come in from outside and saw the scene and said, "Your Majesty, don't get angry with that kind of person. It's not worth it to get yourself hurt by getting angry."

"What's more, the unruly Ling Fei was executed, and her son dared to come back, but he would just repeat the old path."

The reason Liang Rui was able to become the chief steward beside the Queen, apart from having been with the Queen for a long time, was that he was bold and careful, dared to speak, and could touch people's hearts.

Seeing that the woman had calmed down a little, he knelt down beside her and carefully held her hand. "Look at your skin, so delicate. Don't pinch yourself again in the future..."

When Xu Jinxuan returned to Chonghua Palace, Lin Yu was worrying about Xiao Lan.

Having just "charged into battle" for her, he was inevitably scratched a few times by the maid. One of his snake scales was broken before, and now another one is injured.

"Does it hurt?"

Knowing that he didn't understand, Lin Yu still asked while poking it carefully.

Xiao Lan was also quite human-like. He knew that he had done a great job, so he lazily lay in front of the girl, enjoying her caress, and occasionally licked her palm with his tongue.

"You're back just in time," Lin Yu looked up when he heard footsteps, "Go check on Xiao Lan and see if there's any medicine. I'll apply some on it."
