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

Fourteen fell into the water at Fourth Brother's place. If Fourth Brother hadn't jumped into the water and tried desperately to save her, she would have hated him to death.

Even if it was later discovered that it was someone else's doing, she would still think that the fourth brother was not devoted to his younger brother and that was why someone took advantage of him.

But it was only when the fourth brother unexpectedly went to rescue her himself that she was able to let go of the knot in her heart that had been hanging over her for many years.

Then he was filled with anger and wanted to catch the person behind the scenes and execute him.

After much effort, they finally found out that the person who threw Fourteenth Prince into the lake during the chaos in Fourth Prince's mansion was related to Concubine Yi's family.

Only then did she wake up from her dream - the person who knows you best is your enemy.

For so many years, even the emperor believed that she didn't like the fourth brother because she was partial to the youngest one.

In addition, the fourth child was raised by Tong Jia since he was a child, and they had no mother-son relationship.

But only she herself knows that it is not the case.

How could she not have feelings for the fourth brother?

That was her first child, and she secretly fed him herself right after he was born.

After the fourth child was taken away, she was heartbroken and kept an eye on him all the time.

She secretly watched the little boy grow from a little kid to someone who could walk, run and recite.

The fourth brother might not have feelings for her because they had never been together, but she didn't.

But all this ended on the day Zuo'er died, and her heart died that day too.

Unexpectedly, there was someone in this palace who could understand her thoughts.

As a result, Concubine De began to doubt whether there was any other possibility behind the accident.

At that time, she was alone and powerless, and there was no one to investigate. The emperor told her that it was all an accident.

Defei pushed the mahjong in her hand, and the smile on her face deepened.

Lin Mingyan looked at it, and felt that it was getting more and more creepy.

Seeing that the atmosphere had improved, Xu Changzai felt relieved and diligently fed them snacks and fruits.

The game of mahjong made Concubine De win so happily that Lin Mingyan's wallet was emptied.

Dai Jia and Li Changzai were lucky, they didn't lose much, and the big holes were filled by Lin Mingyan.

Dai Jia jokingly said, "Sister, not only did you not give the young man a red envelope, but you also took away his money."

"Be careful of the fourth brother's family, or go back and cry to the fourth brother~"

After hearing what she said, Lin Mingyan quickly lowered her head shyly and did not dare to get involved in such a topic.

After giving the winnings to Madam Gao, Concubine De said cheerfully, "Of course I have the red envelope."

"The fourth brother's family gave birth to triplets, and I was given three big red envelopes at once. Shouldn't I feel bad and try to earn some money back?!"

As he said this, he asked someone to bring the rewards, which included not only three big red purses, but also a gold necklace, a jade Linglong, and so on.

Lin Mingyan was very considerate. She happily accepted it after a bow and was very sweet-mouthed.

Holding up a jade nine-linked ring, he said, "It's a shame to give this jade to Hui'er. He's so impatient, he'll smash it if he can't untie it in a while~"

After saying this, everyone in the hall laughed.

De Fei even pressed the corner of her eyes with a handkerchief and said, "That's just like the fourth child. The fourth child was like this when he was a child."

She remembered the nine-linked ring that she had secretly given to her fourth child on his second birthday, and soon she saw the fragments.

"If I don't let him play with such a good thing, I'll give him a copper one," Lin Mingyan thought sincerely.

The jade will be gone if it falls. That is to say, the palace uses jade to make the Nine-Linked Rings. Who would use this outside?

But Concubine De said, "What are you afraid of? We can't let the child suffer."

"Mammy, go get another ten...twenty from my storeroom."

Wait, Concubine De, are you doing the wholesale business of the Nine-Link Chain?

Twenty in the warehouse?!

Lin Mingyan was speechless. This mother and son were truly a loving couple, both of them were generous and kind.

First, the Fourth Master made eighty suits for her, and later, Concubine De gave Honghui twenty nine-linked necklaces.

But she couldn't refuse and had to accept it.

Defei was generous and everyone present, including Dai Jia, received rewards.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the New Year's Eve dinner slowly arrived and everyone ate together.

Lin Mingyan was lucky. She stood aside and picked up two pieces of food for Concubine De with her chopsticks, then asked her to sit down and eat with them.

She waited eagerly for the imperial meal, her heart full of longing.

Alas, she has been married to the prince for a year and a half, but she has never had a proper imperial meal.

This time when I went to the palace to celebrate the New Year, the imperial cuisine was also a major attraction.

But after the dishes were served, Lin Mingyan had a big question mark in her little head.

What's going on?

This shark fin is indeed a delicacy, but it tastes like vomit after being stewed. Are you serious?

And the squirrel fish, the coating has become soft and sagging, with a layer of moisture on it.

......

Lin Mingyan glanced at the others again. Everyone was very experienced and few of them started eating.

Even if they picked up their chopsticks, they only ate things like four-happiness meatballs and stir-fried shrimps, which were still edible.

Her heart was bleeding, and she could only follow them and taste a few bites to fill her stomach.

My mind was full of thoughts, no wonder the Fourth Master specifically asked the kitchen to make beef soup when he went out in the morning.

In this weather, I'll be hungry in the palace for a whole day.

When I got home, I ate a bowl of noodles with the beef soup that had been stewed all day, and poured the braised beef topping on it.

That feeling is simply amazing.

Lin Mingyan was obviously a little absent-minded. She was just trying to wait for time and wanted to go back quickly to have some beef noodles.

Concubine De was also a little tired, so she ate a little and let everyone rest.

We have to stay up until midnight today, so we can catch up on some sleep while it’s still light.

Of course, it is not possible to sleep on the bed, but the most indispensable thing in the palace is various couches.

After changing clothes, I lay down on it and fell asleep in the warmth.

Lin Mingyan followed the crowd and was taken into a warm room nearby. She changed her clothes and went to sleep.

By the time I was woken up by the cuckoo, sporadic sounds of firecrackers could be heard outside.

"What time is it?" Lin Mingyan rubbed her eyes and sat on the couch slowly.

Du Juan took out a Western pocket watch from her bosom, looked at it and said, "Master, it's already seven o'clock."

Because Lin Mingyan liked new things and learned Western timekeeping, the Fourth Master gave her a few pocket watches.

Nowadays, people in Linfengju are very fashionable. They no longer calculate the time by looking at the sky, but use the hour to tell time.

Lin Mingyan calculated that it was not yet five o'clock when she went to bed, so two hours had passed.

Not bad, not bad. If I can bear with it a little longer, I can go home and eat noodles.

When I came out to the main hall, I found that the dishes on the table had been replaced and were better than the one in the afternoon.

Nanny Gao had just come out with Concubine De, and Concubine De asked her to sit down.

There was no one else in the room at this time, and it felt a bit deserted for a moment.

Lin Mingyan suddenly remembered her important matter, so she bravely said, "Mother, I want to ask you for a favor."

"Huh? What's the matter?" Concubine De looked up at her in surprise.

Lin Mingyan looked at the servants around her, Concubine De nodded, and Nanny Gao tactfully led the people away.

"The Fourth Master was bullied the other day, and I dare you to help him!"
