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

Whenever this "Hmm?" came out, Lin Mingyan couldn't help but burst into tears.

The Fourth Master was really too arrogant. My heart trembled when I heard his words.

Then I was so absorbed in it that I couldn't hear any other sounds.

In this weather, it was snowing heavily and the wind was howling outside, but it was warm inside the house and the temperature was gradually rising.

After a fierce battle, Lin Mingyan fell asleep contentedly, leaving the rest of the cleaning to the Fourth Master.

Thinking that she didn't want the servants to see this, the Fourth Master could only get out of bed and clean her naked body without complaint.

He rubbed himself twice more, held the person in his arms, and fell asleep contentedly.

The next day, Lin Mingyan slept until lunchtime and after dinner, she heard the Fourth Master say that he couldn't accompany her in the evening because he had to attend a banquet.

The Qing Dynasty had more annual holidays, and the less busy government offices would take a holiday on Laba Festival.

The Ministry of Revenue was quite busy and stopped writing during the New Year's Eve, so the Fourth Master had a holiday.

I can stay with her at home until New Year's Eve when I go to the palace to celebrate the New Year.

Thinking about the night being divided up for the whole day, the bird's nest in Lin Mingyan's hand no longer smelled good: "Then you should drink less and come back early."

The most important thing is that I am afraid that in such a situation, others will invite some musical instruments and singers, and they will come back smelling of cosmetics.

The Fourth Master smiled, pinched her puffy cheeks and said, "Don't worry, it was Longkodo who invited me to the banquet. He is an elder after all, and he wouldn't call someone of questionable character."

Longkodo always regarded himself as an elder and would not try to get close to him.

"Him? Why did he suddenly invite you to dinner?" Lin Mingyan was not a woman in a secluded house who knew nothing, so she asked with a bit of surprise.

Longkodo is a close minister of the emperor, and being close to a prince is not a good thing for the Fourth Master.

The reason why the Prince of Zhi and the Crown Prince are fighting so fiercely now is not because they have two big families supporting them?

It would not be a good thing if Tong Jia also had such thoughts.

The Fourth Master was also unclear: "I don't know, we'll know when we meet."

"I've never seen him treat you differently before. It can't be because the gift is so big this time, right?" Lin Mingyan deliberately made a joke.

When she gave gifts to other people, the most she would give was two bottles of Shenxianzui.

However, there were many elders in Tongjia Prefecture, and they were afraid that there would not be enough to share, so they sent more.

She knew that Longkodo was not interested in such a small profit, so she said this on purpose to make the Fourth Master laugh at her for being mischievous.

After hanging out for another afternoon, the fourth master got up at four in the afternoon, packed up, changed his clothes and went to Baiweizhai.

When we arrived at the box, Longkodo was already there.

The Fourth Master bowed in surprise and said, "Master Tong, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Has Longkodo changed his personality?

He arrived a little early, thinking he would have to wait a long time before seeing anyone.

Longkodo invited him to sit down and said kindly, "Fourth Prince, you are too polite. We are all family. Why should we wait?"

"Come, drink some wine~~"

The Fourth Master was really unsure of what the other party meant by this moment. When these words came out of his mouth...

How weird!

He raised his glass to toast, but his mind was recalling the major events of the past year, trying to find any clues that might have caused Longkodo to change his attitude.

But after thinking about it, there was no sign at all.

Tonggiya was still deeply favored by the emperor, and as for Longkodo, it could even be said that he was "in the emperor's good graces."

It is impossible for such close ministers of the emperor to take sides casually and not make friends with the prince.

Inviting him out for dinner today is like a death warrant.

The Fourth Master felt uncomfortable sitting there, and even wondered if there was someone guarding outside specifically to take advantage of his weakness?

The more Longkodo tried to show his friendliness, the more silent he became. By the end of their conversation, they didn't even have a word to say to each other.

Longkodo had never been treated like this before, and he tried desperately to find topics to talk about, but in the end they ended up talking in silence.

This fourth brother is such a blockhead!

After talking for a long time, he didn't say a word!

Longkodo was also a hot-tempered man. He slammed the table and said, "This wine is still not good enough!"

“Not strong enough!”

The Fourth Master frowned, thinking, is this guy trying to make fun of him?

This wine is already the strongest wine in Baiweizhai, how can it not be strong enough?

Looking back at Longkodo's face, he was already red from drinking.

boast!

Seeing that he still didn't say anything, Longkodo became even more upset, so he simply said straight to the point: "Fourth Brother, you are not honest. You have such good wine, but you don't even know how to honor your uncle!"

The Fourth Master frowned and asked, "Master Tong, what do you mean?"

"I say I'm drunk as a god!" Seeing that he still didn't respond, Longkodo simply said directly: "It's also because my concubine is a drunkard that she likes to be drunk as a god."

"Knowing that we have a good relationship as uncle and nephew, she cried and begged me to come and buy a few bottles from you."

"This... I can only come here shamelessly..."

The Fourth Master finally understood the whole story of the meal, and when he heard that he, a prince, had to work hard for a concubine, he felt even colder in his heart.

Cha Cha pointed to the good wine that made money. If it was just a gift, it would be fine, at least it could make a name for itself.

Even if Longkodo wanted to drink and asked him, he would be able to control his temper and offer it to him.

But what's the point of giving it to a little concubine for free?

This is so insulting, do you really think you are such a big shot?!

The Fourth Master sneered inwardly, then after a moment's hesitation, he said, "Master Tong, these mere New Year gifts were all prepared by my wife."

"You ask me these things, but I don't know..."

No matter how you ask, I just say I don't know.

Longkodo thought it was a done deal, but even after drinking most of the wine, he still couldn't get it done.

He was so angry that he wanted to pick up a whip and beat the guy to vent his anger.

Even when the Fourth Master made an excuse and said he wanted to go home, no one tried to keep him.

The Fourth Master mounted his horse, looked back at the lights in the box, and sneered.

He didn't want to join the fight between the eldest and the second oldest brother, and there was no need to get along particularly well with this cheap uncle.

Isn't it better to be a nobody now and help the prince with some work from time to time than to go out and work alone?

When she got home, Lin Mingyan had just finished eating a clear soup mutton hotpot, and her hands and feet were warm.

She called a little maid to read to her. Just as she was relaxing, she saw the Fourth Master coming back drunk.

She stood up in surprise to greet him, and the servants in the room retreated with a tactful look.

"Yinzhen? Why are you back so soon?" Lin Mingyan was really shocked.

She was prepared to wait until midnight today, which was not even their usual bedtime.

Could it be that there was some conflict with Longkodo?

The Fourth Master drank quite a lot, but Longkodo had angered him with Li Si'er, so the smell of alcohol had almost dissipated.

But when Lin Mingyan asked him about it, he started to feel wronged again: "Humph, you're trampling on my dignity!"

"Oh, you're just letting me serve a little concubine and dream of a lifetime!"

When Lin Mingyan heard what he said, he knew that Longkodo was relying on the emperor's favor and did not take him, the prince, seriously.

I also got angry: "What did he do? How dare he mess with my man?!"

Don't worry about your life~
