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

Defei really thought so.

When the fourth daughter got married, Emperor Kangxi was still very concerned about his children. He arranged the marriage himself and she had no say at all.

When she was fourteen, she was able to have a say, and then she chose Wanyan, whose temperament matched hers.

Although the wedding has not yet taken place, it has been decided, and the Wanyan family is already training Wanyan to be the prince's wife.

The four nannies were all selected and sent by her, so this time the daughter-in-law must have grown up according to her wishes.

"Your Majesty, the time has come," Nanny Gao came over to remind them and asked them to go to the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager lived in Ningshou Palace and was supposed to move to Cining Palace after the death of the Grand Empress Dowager.

But after all, she was not the biological mother of Emperor Kangxi, and she was a very smart person, so it was impossible for her to occupy the Cining Palace.

No matter how many times Emperor Kangxi requested, he would use the excuse of respecting the Empress Dowager as an excuse to not move the palace.

In this way, Emperor Kangxi became even more filial, almost as filial as his own mother.

No matter how busy he was with government affairs, he would go to pay his respects to the Empress Dowager every ten days and have a chat with his son.

There is actually no need to be nervous about such an empress dowager. She will not embarrass her daughters-in-law and granddaughters-in-law in the slightest.

This is indeed the case. She is not proficient in Manchu or Chinese, and has been speaking Mongolian for a long time.

Lin Mingyan had been taught two Mongolian greetings in advance, both of which were "How are you?" and "I'm fine too."

When she arrived at Ningshou Palace, someone had already arrived in front. She followed Concubine De and knelt down to kowtow and pay her respects. She was soon helped up by the people around the Empress Dowager.

Lin Mingyan looked up and saw that the woman next to her was dressed formally and did not look like a palace maid.

She reacted and recognized her - this was the Fourth Master's sister Wen Xian.

Princess Heshuo Wenxian was given the title this year and was assigned to Tongjia Shunanyan by Emperor Kangxi.

She was raised by the Empress Dowager since she was a child and only got married after the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet.

The Fourth Master mentioned to Lin Mingyan that sometimes when there were new things, they would only be given to the Fourteenth Master, and Wen Xian would have one.

But she is a younger sister after all, so even her brother doesn't see her often, and usually asks the palace maids to deliver things to her.

Unexpectedly, Wen Xian came over to help her personally out of this kind of friendship.

Lin Mingyan was helped up by her and was instructed to say auspicious words to the Empress Dowager.

I don’t know if she was being overly suspicious, but the Empress Dowager seemed to have said a lot more to her.

The Mongolian she spoke was low and fast, and it was not something a newbie like Lin Mingyan could understand.

Wen Xian translated for her: "The Empress Dowager said that you are blessed. May the Eternal Heaven bless you."

"It is said that you gave birth to seven children and are the favorite of Changshengtian."

"explain......"

In short, this amiable old lady praised Lin Mingyan to the point of being confused.

She almost thought that she was really the girl of destiny, and that she had such a high favorability in the eyes of the Empress Dowager.

However, she also knew that the Empress Dowager had been childless all her life, so she naturally liked her granddaughter-in-law who could give birth.

After chatting for a while, the Empress Dowager felt tired and signaled Wen Xian to take her out.

Concubine De had left long ago and went outside to maintain face with Concubine Hui and others.

Wen Xian took her to a warm room and asked her to tidy up her appearance.

"Thank you, Sister Wen Xian," Lin Mingyan said gratefully.

The Empress Dowager spoke so much to her, and if Wen Xian hadn't translated, she would have had a stiff face and not known how to respond.

This is definitely not Wen Xian's job, but for her, this is a big favor from her sister-in-law.

Wen Xian blushed and said, "You're too polite, Sister-in-law. We're all family."

Especially the fourth brother, he didn’t think of his sister often before.

I heard from Fourteen that it was Fourth Brother's wife who was behind the scenes making arrangements, and that's why Fourth Brother treated them better and better.

"When my sister gets married, please come to our house more often to play," Lin Mingyan liked her very much.

The Fourth Master doesn't have many relatives, so he needs to take better care of this younger sister.

It is sad to think that she died early in history.

Princesses in the Qing Dynasty had a hard life and had to travel far away to marry.

In the eyes of others, it was a great thing for Wen Xian to be able to marry in the capital, and this was also because she had the blessing of the Empress Dowager.

She was reluctant to leave the girl she had raised, so she begged Emperor Kangxi to keep her in the capital.

Unfortunately, staying in the capital wasn't much better.

Wen Xian nodded with a red face, too embarrassed to say anything more, and sent her to the side hall where the prince's concubine was staying.

She still had to go back to serve the Empress Dowager, so she didn't stay long. She bowed and turned to leave.

Lin Mingyan entered the side hall. There were already several people there, and the Crown Prince's concubine Li Jia was the most dazzling one.

She should be the most favored one in the Eastern Palace, as the prince's eldest son Hongxi was born to her.

Tian was sitting next to her and saying something, while Wu was sitting next to her without saying anything.

After Lin Mingyan went over to pay her respects, she sat down next to Mrs. Wu and greeted her, "Sister Wu, are you feeling better lately?"

More than two months had passed since Irgen Jueluo's death. Wu looked a little calmer, but also much thinner than before.

She looked up and nodded at her, but didn't say anything, not knowing whether she was a little nervous about being in the palace or what.

This is not like her personality. In the past, she would find an opportunity to talk about this and that.

Lin Mingyan often communicated with Tian, and she knew very well how the wives and concubines of her uncles were doing.

She knew how favored Wu was recently. She was almost the only favorite in the Prince of Zhi's backyard.

She sighed at the time and said, this is just what men are like.

No matter how affectionate someone is when they are alive, they will find someone new as soon as they are gone.

No, this was not found after he passed away. It was clearly found and placed in the mansion when Irgen Jueluo was still alive.

However, at that time, perhaps because he had already loved her, he did not consummate the marriage with Wu. Now he can be considered to have a legitimate reason to favor her.

Lin Mingyan was still relieved. After all, she had no friendship with the Irgen Jueluo family, but was closer to the Wu family.

I always feel happy for her when I hear that she is favored.

But what happened recently?

He looked frightened, pale and thin, not like the favored man as rumored.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Lin Mingyan quietly asked if she had any difficulties.

Mrs. Wu looked at her, her eyes bright for a moment, then turned sad again, and she said softly, "Nothing."

The tone didn't sound like Wu's at all, but rather like Irgen Jueluo, whom she had only met once.

Could it be that she gained favor because she learned from the late first wife?

Lin Mingyan was so preoccupied with the lawsuit that she couldn't even enjoy the birthday party.

However, when she was leaving the palace, she saw Prince Zhi coming to pick up Wu from afar. She caught a glimpse of his eyes and it seemed that he really loved Wu.

Her eyes darkened: A man's affection is really unreliable~
