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

Linglan was dissatisfied: "I heard that there is no need to pay respects to Prince Cheng's mansion!"

"The same is true at the Prince of Zhi's residence. Even the Fifth, Seventh, and Eighth Masters don't have this kind of thing!"

There was no queen in the palace, so there was no such thing as paying respects, so the Crown Princess did not dare to set rules for the people in the Eastern Palace.

Prince Zhi only loved his wife, and the two princesses who had just started school lived far away, so that out of sight, out of mind.

The Third Master also puts his wife first, but as a scholar he is sentimental and treats other people in the mansion well, and does not let them set rules.

As for the Fifth Master and the Seventh Master, their families were taken care of by their concubines, and no one knew where the concubines had gone.

Lin Mingyan smiled and said, "It's only natural to pay respects, as long as she doesn't feel conspicuous."

In fact, she didn't want to hang around Fu Jin at all now, it would be better for the two of them to stay away from each other.

After all, she received all the love from the Fourth Master, had three healthy children, and recovered so well.

It would be fine if Fu Jin didn’t see it with her own eyes, but even if she did, it’s hard not to be angry.

But she is not a coward. If the lady doesn't mind her being an eyesore, then she will definitely go there openly.

.

"Oh, what's going on?" Geng sat beside the eldest princess's bed, tucked in her quilt, and muttered a little worriedly.

Zhu Qing, the personal maid, said, "Don't worry, Princess. Just behave properly."

Everyone understands what Concubine Fu Jin is thinking. Isn't it just to show off her status as the main wife so that she can suppress Concubine Fu Jin?

While the two of them are fighting, everyone else just needs to stay away.

Geng sighed and said, "If it were that simple, I wouldn't have to worry."

"Everyone knows how the eldest princess came about. Now that I have raised her, I will accept the favor from Concubine Fujin."

"From now on, I belong to Concubine Jin and I should serve her wholeheartedly."

"Over in the main courtyard..."

Regardless of whether the concubine recognized her or not, the wife already regarded them as one faction.

If she acted like a fence-sitter, the wife would not change her mind about her, and the concubine would be even less bothered to pay attention.

That is absolutely not possible!

In order for the eldest princess to grow up safely, she must stand on the side of the concubine.

Zhu Qing: "What should we do then?"

"Let's go. Once we get there, we'll know what we're facing," Geng stood up and tiptoed out with her people.

Finally, he took a look at the eldest princess who was sleeping soundly on the bed, then he mustered up his fighting spirit and went to the main courtyard.

When she entered the house, the concubine was already in confinement after giving birth, so she and Liu had never met the concubine.

All we know about Fu Jin's personality and her style of doing things is hearsay.

Today is the first day we meet, I don’t know what tricks he will use!

Geng got up early, and when she arrived outside the main courtyard's flower hall, it was just dawn.

The morning mist was descending, and when she exhaled a breath of foul air, she could see it condensing into mist.

Zhu Qing stepped forward and reported, "Gege Geng from Shaoguang Courtyard has come to pay her respects to Fu Jin."

There were two little maids guarding outside the flower hall. When they heard Zhu Qing say this, they looked at each other and laughed.

One of the taller and thinner ones covered his mouth with a handkerchief and said to the round-faced one, "Am I right? Geng must have arrived first."

"Really? Then I lose!" said the round-faced maid, glaring at them with a gloomy look on her face.

The two continued to say this, not taking Geng and the other two seriously at all.

Zhu Qing frowned, but suppressed her temper and said, "Please inform the two sisters."

The round-faced maid turned around and looked at her and said, "Just inform her, what's the rush?"

After saying that, she spoke a few words to the tall maid and then went into the flower hall.

Zhu Qing breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her go in. If she had been left here by the servants in the main courtyard on the first day, Geng Gege would have lost all her face.

But the little maid went in, but she didn't come out no matter how long she waited.

A quarter of an hour passed in a flash. Zhu Qing couldn't help herself any longer and asked the tall maid, "Sister, why is there still no news?"

The tall maid glanced at her and said, "Hasn't everyone already reported it? What's the rush?!"

After saying that, he rolled his eyes and stood still, not even giving them another glance.

Now even Zhu Qing understood that this was intentional to make things difficult for them.

Seeing that she was about to cry with anger, Geng knew that the maid who had entered the flower hall was probably lazing around in some corner.

Pulling Zhu Qing to stand behind her: "It's okay, wait, it's just a matter of standing for a while."

No matter how much the concubine wants to find fault with her, as long as she can hold back, she won't be able to get any evidence.

It's just standing for a while longer. When she is at home, she has to stand for several hours a day. It's not a problem for her.

Zhu Qing stood there and secretly wiped away his tears, looking at his own princess with heartache.

In the past, I was bullied and punished by standing in the mansion. Now, when I come to the Fourth Master’s mansion, I am punished by standing again!

The tall maid heard the sobbing and looked over here, and then she felt relieved.

I thought to myself, just cry, I’d rather stand here than cry to death.

The princess, who had never even been close to the Fourth Master, actually dared to cross the main courtyard to curry favor with the concubine.

Do you think you will become noble if you pick up a princess and raise her as your own?

"Oh, are you standing in the corner as punishment?" A clear voice sounded.

Geng looked up and saw a young girl wearing a scarlet cloak sprinkled with gold and a set of kingfisher feather headdress walking in.

She immediately knelt down and stroked her temples in greeting: "Greetings, Concubine."

Lin Mingyan walked over quickly, grabbed the half-crouching Geng and said, "Quick, don't be polite."

After saying this, she looked at the tall maid who was squatting to greet her and asked, "Is the Lady punishing us to stand at the door?"

"But how many hours did you say you'd have to stand there?"

The tall maid turned pale with fear and stammered, "No...no, Madam...please come in quickly."

They were just following Madam Wu's orders to embarrass Geng, but they didn't dare to offend the concubine.

Besides, their wife has no chance of winning against the concubine above, so how could she, a lowly maid, dare to be tough with her master?

"Oh? So Geng Shi must have done something wrong and needs to be punished here?" Lin Mingyan looked puzzled. "I just don't know what Sister Geng did to anger Madam Fu-jin."

"No... not yet," the tall maid said with a red face, "Cui'er has already gone in to report, but she hasn't come out yet..."

"Oh? How long have you been gone?"

"Go...go..." she couldn't say.

Zhu Qing took over the conversation: "I've been gone for two quarters of an hour, I've remembered it!"

"Oh? Two quarters of an hour. Could he have gotten lost and ran out of the house?" Lin Mingyan sneered and pulled Geng into the house.

As soon as I stepped over the threshold, I saw a little maid sleeping soundly, half lying on the ground at the corner of the porch.

"Oh, no wonder it took so long, it turns out he reported it in his dream!" Dujuan sneered.

Zhu Qing went forward and shook the man awake, impatiently asking, "Didn't you ask us to wait outside and report?"
