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

"I gave five taels of silver, but I couldn't even get a bowl of stewed beef brisket!" Dujuan was furious.

These ingredients are all part of the princess’s allowance.

I gave them five taels of silver and asked them to do it, but they refused.

If only she had a small kitchen so she could cook for herself.

During this month, Fujin and Song Gege were not affected at all.

Because there was a small kitchen in the main courtyard of the concubine's house, the two of them usually ate from the small kitchen.

Li Gege is now in great favor. Even if she wants to eat dragon liver and phoenix marrow, those people in the kitchen who flatter the powerful and look down on the weak will find her.

In the entire backyard, only Lin Mingyan and Zhang, who had not yet been favored, were looked down upon.

She even had some doubts as to whether the people in the kitchen had some serious mental illness.

It's only been a month since they last came to visit her, are they so sure that they can't get up?!

Are you blind?!

Lin Mingyan didn't think this was a problem. She hadn't done anything wrong, and the Fourth Master actually liked her quite a bit.

It's just that now that Fu Jin has made a mistake, she is being neglected as well.

When he calms down and thinks of her, he will feel even more guilty.

Even Zhang, who had not served the emperor in person for three months since entering the mansion, would be able to see the light at that time.

"Just eat it like this. Bring me some rice so I can have a couple of bites," Lin Mingyan said as she sat down.

When Dujuan brought the rice, he became even angrier.

"This rice is still undercooked!" Du Juan started to cry, "This is deliberately bullying the princess!"

Before she could even finish her howl, a cold voice rang out from behind her: "Who bullied your princess?!"

Lin Mingyan and others looked up and saw that the Fourth Master had entered the main hall without them noticing.

Because all four of them were in the room and no one came to inform them in advance, no one knew about it.

Dujuan was so frightened that she almost had a heart attack. She pulled Linglan and others to her knees and lay motionless on the ground.

She even had a suicide note in mind.

When Lin Mingyan saw the Fourth Master coming, she behaved out of character.

She neither stood up to salute nor said a word, she even turned around and lowered her head.

The Fourth Master had indeed come here on a whim today. After entering the room, he felt a little embarrassed because he had inexplicably ignored Lin Mingyan for so long.

Seeing that she ignored him, he was stunned for a moment.

He is not the kind of person who would let himself be wronged. Since others don't want to pay attention to him, he just raised his foot and prepared to leave.

But looking at Lin Mingyan's skinny shoulders, one could faintly see her pale, pointed chin.

He stopped again and then saw the dishes on the table.

Not to mention the Fourth Master, even Su Peisheng’s little apprentice eats that dish better than her!

The Fourth Master's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

He hasn't been here for such a short time, and the people below are already humiliating her like this?!

Du Juan and the others were so frightened that they were shaking like sieves. They really didn't expect that their own princess, who looked like she didn't care, could be angry with the Fourth Master.

He is a prince, a member of the royal family.

She is just a princess, not even the most favored one, yet she is angry with him.

Isn't this courting death? !

The three of them were so scared that they almost fainted, and their hearts were filled with worry about Lin Mingyan.

Su Peisheng watched the show calmly, but the villain in his heart started dancing.

该~

Finally it’s your turn, Lin’s, to be in trouble.

Their master is not the kind of person who would coax his wives and concubines. Li had made a fuss before and she hadn't seen the master for two months.

I wonder how long Lin will be left out in the cold.

Before he could finish showing off, the Fourth Master kicked him.

Su Peisheng knelt down reflexively.

I was completely bewildered: What's going on? Did I say something gloating?!

The Fourth Master stepped forward and hugged Lin Mingyan: "Cha Cha, you've been wronged."

Lin Mingyan had already thought of this step. She was not a softie. Would she happily try to please the Fourth Master after being offended?

She didn't say anything, but just blinked her eyes, which were filled with tears.

Two bean-sized tears rolled down her face, as if rolling into the Fourth Master's heart.

For the first time, the Fourth Master felt a sour and swollen feeling in his heart.

He doesn't know that this is called heartache.

"Don't cry, don't cry, it's my fault," the Fourth Master coaxed.

I don't know what happened, but as I watched her crying silently, all the words that I had never said out loud suddenly came out of my mouth.

Although Du Juan and the other two were still kneeling, they felt completely relieved.

Only Su Peisheng was left, completely in disbelief.

He watched as the Fourth Master lowered himself to coax her, saying everything he could, but Lin Mingyan still remained silent, his eyes wide open.

He closed his eyes and opened them again, but the scene remained the same.

Looking at the inedible food on the table, my heart sank to the bottom.

Lin Mingyan wasn't completely pretending, she did feel aggrieved.

When I think about the suffering I had endured at home, I don't even need to force my tears, they just flow down.

Because she had suffered so much injustice since she was a child, she didn't cry loudly, but was used to sobbing softly.

At this time, she buried her head in the Fourth Master's arms and cried like a pitiful kitten.

The Fourth Master was completely at a loss. In the past, the only person in the backyard who would cry in front of him was Li.

Li liked to pretend to cry and act coquettishly to please Lady Fu Jin and Lady Song.

He was too lazy to bother, so usually after crying a few times with a stern face, Li would be fine.

But Lin Mingyan was different. She cried silently, but it made him feel more distressed than if she had cried out loudly.

"It's all my fault, Cha Cha, don't cry anymore," the Fourth Master patted her and coaxed her, "darling, don't cry..."

After coaxing her for a long time, Lin Mingyan finally stopped crying.

But she still didn't say anything, just leaned in the Fourth Master's arms, one hand gently grasping his collar.

Seeing that he was feeling better, the Fourth Master finally had time to attack Su Peisheng.

"You stupid slave, the master is busy, don't you know to take care of your master Lin?" The Fourth Master's eyes were dark, which made Su Peisheng tremble.

He immediately fell to the ground and said, "It's all my fault. Please punish me, sir."

"Go down and receive your punishment," the Fourth Master glanced at him and asked someone to go to the kitchen to serve the meal.

When a table of food was served, Su Peisheng came running over with one leg limping and served wholeheartedly.

Lin Mingyan has been eating less recently, partly because the food is really bad and partly because it's intentional, as her stomach has shrunk due to hunger.

The Fourth Master coaxed her to eat two bites, but she shook her head and refused to eat.

"Why do you only eat so little?" asked the Fourth Master.

If Li or Song ate so little, he wouldn't ask.

But Lin gave him the impression that she could eat whatever she wanted, and these two mouthfuls of rice were not enough to fill her stomach before.

Now, why are you only eating these two bites?

Lin Mingyan touched her uncomfortable stomach and said softly, "I can't eat anymore."

The hunger and stomach discomfort she felt when she was young from not having enough food made her very depressed.

It’s like I’ve lived half my life, even died once, but I’m still bound by that impoverished childhood.

The Fourth Master felt even more distressed when he saw this, so he ordered people to bring a lot of rewards and stayed at Linfengju for several days in a row.
