No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

Fu Jin was very panicked, her heart was pounding.

In the past, Lin had no background, so it was okay for her to be favored. At most, she would be a little jealous.

She was born into the Nara clan and did not take a nameless concubine seriously.

Even if she didn't give birth to a legitimate eldest son, the prince would not be Lin's child.

She was angry before because her eldest son and second son took over her at the same time, but after she figured it out, she calmed down.

Therefore, during her confinement period, she took good care of herself and no longer paid attention to the affairs of Linfengju.

Even when the Fourth Master took the four of them, mother and children, to the farm, she did not impose any restrictions on them.

This is the confidence that comes from being born into a noble family and being the legitimate son.

But now, the Lin family has turned around and become the Niuhuru family.

That's the Yellow Banner!

In this dynasty alone, there was one queen and one imperial concubine.

Fu Jin didn't dare to think any further, as if she did she wouldn't be able to sleep.

Zhenzhu quietly shook her scalded hands twice and personally picked up the broken bowls and medicine on the ground.

The calmer one brought another bowl of medicine: "Fujin, you should drink the medicine. Your health is important."

Fu Jin has a temper like a firecracker, but she will be fine after she explodes.

Thinking that health is indeed important, I cheered myself up and drank the bowl of bitter medicine without leaving any.

Pearl thoughtfully brought some honey and fed her a spoonful to relieve the bitter taste in her mouth.

Fu Jin felt a little better and asked, "How is Hongyu?"

It rained two nights ago and the weather suddenly changed, and Hongyu started coughing again.

She was recuperating and had no time to take care of her. Wu was afraid that the wet nurses were not doing their job well, so she took the baby to her room and slept with him.

"Third Prince is much better now. He stopped coughing last night," Zhenzhu said with a smile on her face. "Although Wu Gege can't have children, she's a good parent."

Fu Jin nodded in agreement: "Yes, I didn't expect that I would be so soft-hearted and take Wu in. It turned out to be a great help."

Anyway, Wu can no longer have children, so she and Hongyan will have to rely on each other for the rest of her life.

She now regards Hongyu as more important than her own eyes and very useful.

"Madam, you are wise," Zhenzhu flattered her a little.

Fu Jin felt better, thinking that she had made a lot of progress recently, and she also said with concern: "Now that Aunt Gui is gone, this courtyard depends on you. You have worked hard recently."

"It's not hard for me," Zhenzhu was stunned for a moment, but quickly adjusted her mood.

Fu Jin thought she was touched, patted her hands and said, "You should also train a few young ones. I think the new maids are not bad."

Seeing Zhenzhu busying herself, she was really afraid that this maid, who had grown up with her, would be exhausted.

Zhenzhu calmed herself down and changed the subject: "Fujin, it's almost the twelfth lunar month, and it's time to prepare the New Year gifts."

"Usually you and Aunt Gui would prepare it yourself, but this year..."

"For the gifts to my parents' home, follow the list of previous years and add 20% to it," Fu Jin thought for a moment and said, "As for the other gifts from the palace and the mansion, just say that I'm still recovering and can't afford them."

"Since we already have a concubine, let her help our family."

The Lin family came from a small family, so the housekeepers and directors probably never learned anything.

Even though she has changed her appearance and become a member of the Nianhulu clan, the lack of education she had since childhood cannot be made up for overnight.

The mistress is ill, so it is only natural for the concubine to take over. Let's see how she handles it.

Thinking about the embarrassing situation that Lin might make, Fu Jin finally felt a lot better.

Zhenzhu was happy that Fu Jin was going to cheat people outside, at least she didn't have to work hard and get any thanks, so she agreed to do it.

When the Fourth Master heard the report from the main courtyard that the Concubine was unable to prepare the annual gifts, he couldn't describe how he felt.

Although you may say that Fu Jin is stupid, she will pick on other people's weaknesses and make it impossible for you to refuse.

But if you say she is smart, she dares to give away the power that she should have held in her hands.

After he finished telling Lin Mingyan about this, his face was complicated: "You said that if I were the wife, as long as I was still alive, I would not give this power to anyone else."

"If I can't do it myself, there are always servants in the main courtyard who can do it. Once you give it away, it's hard to take it back."

"Even if I don't do well, I have this ready-made excuse of poor health. No need to explain anything more."

But she is so magnanimous that she gives up her power!

Lin Mingyan found it unbelievable when she heard it. You know, giving gifts is a difficult job.

In her previous life, in the company she worked for, it was not anyone else's job to arrange welfare benefits. It was something that only the boss's confidants could do.

Fujin actually gave it to her? !

"Yinzhen, is there something fishy going on here?" Lin Mingyan had no choice but to come up with a conspiracy theory.

Could it be that Fu Jin wanted her to get the job done and then go to the palace to accuse the Fourth Master of favoring his concubine over his wife?

Isn’t this too stupid?

To favor a concubine and neglect one's wife, the prerequisite is that she is a concubine.

In the eyes of the Manchus, a concubine is also a wife.

Moreover, looking at the current adult princes, except for the eldest prince and the eighth prince, the others have concubines in their houses.

Even if he is the crown prince, the child is still born to a concubine.

Not to mention the Fifth Prince and the Seventh Prince, the entire mansion was controlled by the concubine.

Among these brothers, the Fourth Master is really not out of the ordinary.

The Fourth Master thought about it and shook his head: "She hasn't thought about it that deeply yet, just go ahead and do it."

"I'll have Madam Liu keep an eye on it for you. You don't have to worry too much about comparing it with the gift lists from previous years."

Lin Mingyan came from Volume 996 and would not be scared by such a thing.

Isn’t it just a matter of compiling the gift lists from previous years, comparing them with the good things on the market now, and adding and subtracting some items?

If you have a computer, you can do it with a spreadsheet.

Although she doesn't have a computer now, she has someone to use it.

The Fourth Master loved her confident look. He marveled at her for a while, then came up with a good idea: "Gao Ziliang came to me the other day and said that you have successfully made those strange glass bottles."

"I think we can add the Divine Drunk to the New Year gift so you can make a lot of money."

He was not afraid that Cha Cha would cry if her business was not profitable, but many of the New Year gifts were for buying wine, so he wanted to keep the money within the family.

Lin Mingyan's eyes lit up: "Wow, really? Then my Shenxian Drunk is very expensive?"

She takes the high-end route, and the price of this small bottle of wine is the same as a high-end jar of wine on the market.

The Fourth Master refused to take her money for the glass bottle, and now she sold it to him at a high price, which was a huge profit.

The Fourth Master didn't care: "Spend it. There's still plenty of money in the treasury. The Ministry of Internal Affairs won't take away any of Young Master's money."

He was the queen's adopted son, and his biological mother was one of the four concubines, so no one dared to deprive him of his share.

"Okay~" Lin Mingyan lay in his arms, shaking with laughter.

My goodness, if Fu Jin knew that she did nothing and yet made a fortune.

Are you going to spiral into oblivion with anger?
