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

Lin Mingyan didn't know how to describe it, but a woman's sixth sense told her that the Prince of Zhi didn't look like he had lost his beloved.

But then she put this out of her mind, thinking that maybe Prince Zhi didn't love his wife that much.

Prince Zhi was very gentle to his son and daughter. Not only did he pick up his youngest son and comfort him, he also let his daughters go back to rest.

After burning incense, Lin Mingyan didn't want to stay for long, but because she had met Concubine Wu before, she asked someone to take her to sit in her yard.

Wu's courtyard was also very large. After all, she was the only two women of Prince Zhi. No, now she was the only one, so her treatment could not be bad.

She is also a sentimental person, and her eyes were swollen like walnuts from crying.

Lin Mingyan was shocked when she first saw it. She thought that if her wife was gone, she would not cry like this.

If others saw this, would they talk about her behind her back?

"Sister Wu, why are you crying like this? Do you still want to keep these eyes?" Lin Mingyan quickly persuaded her.

Wu had almost cried herself dry. Seeing her coming, she whispered, "Sister Niuhulu is here. I feel so bad. Why is Fu Jin..."

She began to talk about how good Irgen Jueluo was to her and complained that God was treating such a good person like this.

It turned out that Wu was very young. She was only twelve years old when she entered the mansion. Prince Zhi didn't know what he was thinking and didn't care about her at all.

Anyway, she was left aside as soon as she entered the mansion. Because she was young and bullied by the servants, she was pitiful.

It was the princess who encountered this once and made the decision for her.

From then on, the princess cared about her in every way and even arranged for the Prince of Zhi to go to her room.

Of course, this was not successful, but Wu's life got better.

She was crying now not only because of Irgen Jueluo's death, but more because of her worry and fear about her future life.

The Prince of Zhi is still so young, and he is about to marry a second wife.

What if the second wife is intolerant and bullies her?

Whenever Mrs. Wu thought about the future, she couldn't stop crying.

Lin Mingyan comforted him, "What are you afraid of? Even if you marry a second wife, you are already an old man. Just live your life peacefully."

As long as the concubine is not stupid, she should not make things difficult for Wu, who has no children and is not favored.

In fact, Mrs. Wu was a little panicked. The mansion was in a mess and no one cared about her feelings, so she got stuck in a dead end.

After Lin Mingyan talked to her, she felt much better and showed her previous playful look again.

"She's really a child, changing every moment," Lin Mingyan nodded her head affectionately.

Who doesn’t like a sweet and soft little girl who cries when touched?

Mrs. Wu smiled for the first time today: "Our Fu Jin also said this about me. I also want to grow up quickly and be as calm and steady as Fu Jin..."

She said a lot of things, hoping that she could learn a little bit from the wife's kindness, so that the Prince of Zhi would definitely like her.

"Sister, you don't know, our wife has a very gentle and calm temperament," Mrs. Wu said proudly, "like a clear spring."

"Alas, I can't learn it. It would be great if I could change my easily startled temper."

Everyone has their own personality. It is a bit difficult for a lively and cheerful child to grow up to be calm and indifferent.

No, it's almost impossible.

Lin Mingyan didn't take it seriously. After all, when she was a child she also wanted to grow up to be like Xiaolongnu. That wasn't impossible, right?

After chatting for a while, a servant came in and said that Wu was invited to go, so Lin Mingyan took the opportunity to say goodbye.

When I returned to the mansion, the Fourth Master had not come back yet.

Prince Zhi has taken a leave of absence recently. Emperor Kangxi likes to arrest the Fourth Master as a strong man whenever he has something to do, so he is very busy.

Although he was busy, the Fourth Master was really famous.

In the past, in the eyes of ministers, the only people who mattered most were the Crown Prince and the Prince of Zhi. The Third Master was able to gain some favor from the Han ministers because of his writing of the letter.

But starting from the Fourth Master and counting downwards, none of the ministers took them seriously.

It’s not that I’m not afraid of the princes, but I don’t regard them as colleagues.

The princes were commanded by Emperor Kangxi to rotate among the six ministries. Although they were respectful when they met, they did not take it seriously.

The main reason is that the princes did not have fixed positions and therefore did not have corresponding power.

But the Fourth Master was different. He seemed to have taken root in the Ministry of Revenue.

During this period, he was given some work in the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Personnel, the Imperial Household Department and even the Ministry of War, but he never took off the work of the Ministry of Revenue after the debts were collected.

Even if Emperor Kangxi sometimes deliberately let him go, he would be needed again soon because of the sweet potato issue.

Emperor Kangxi saw that he stayed in the fields every day like an old farmer, so he tacitly agreed to let him work in the Ministry of Revenue.

In this way, he stood out among the other princes who were still being ordered around and played around.

This means that he has established a firm foothold in the previous dynasty.

The ministers who have reached this point are all shrewd people. Who can't understand the ins and outs here?

As a close minister to the emperor, Longkodo immediately smelled something different.

Recently, he even lowered his status and became good friends with the Fourth Master, either inviting him to dinner or taking him horse racing.

Lin Mingyan was used to hearing from the young eunuch that the Fourth Master was drinking with Longkodo at night and would be back late.

It's easy to guess what Longkodo was thinking. He was just thinking that the Fourth Master was raised by Queen Tong Jia after all. If he really had a promising future, it would be a good thing for the Tong family.

He used to ignore me, but now from all indications the Fourth Master is still a capable person, so making friends with him is a profitable deal.

Lin Mingyan shook her head, thinking that Longkodo had made a wrong decision.

If your Tong family had always been so indifferent, he would still be grateful after he ascended the throne.

Or if you have shown love and care to him from the beginning, then the favor will be even greater.

But if you look down on him at first and then start to flatter him when he becomes successful, he will feel very disgusted.

She squinted her eyes in a good mood: Well, you are going to poke my little eye~

The Fourth Master was indeed very angry at this time. When Longkodo invited him to drink for the first time last time, he didn't feel anything.

But when she tried to get close to him several times in a month, he started to feel disgusted.

Moreover, Longkodo's way of getting close to others was different from the flattery of ordinary people.

In order to show his closeness, he really treated himself as a junior and ordered him around as if he were his own uncle.

After all, the princes are members of the royal family. Even other people's uncles would not dare to neglect them like this, but Longkodo dared to do so.

During the meal, Longkodo asked him to pour wine again. The Fourth Master raised his eyebrows and said, "General, you have a great appetite. I heard that this VIP House has just released the world's best liquor, Jianniang. I'd like to have a pot for you to try."

It was a coincidence today that Longkodo booked a seat at the VIP residence, so the Fourth Master didn't want to fall out with him.

But sword wine is so expensive, I feel good about making a killing...
