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

"You!" Li slammed the table in anger and almost stood up to curse.

But seeing the four maids standing there, he finally held back and gave a mocking smile: "No matter how much you try to seduce me, it's useless. You still have to sneak through the front yard to deliver the things to your mother's house, right?"

"Well, you're right," Lin Mingyan nodded seriously and asked, "Did you deliver it openly?"

Li choked and said, "Of course that day will come for me!"

Humph, wait until she gives birth to this baby safely, and then please make her a concubine.

During the holidays, the family would naturally prepare gifts for her and send them back to her parents' home in great style!

"That's really Sister Li who's awesome. I can only ask the Fourth Master to deliver it for me secretly~" Lin Mingyan curled her lips.

After saying that, he saw Song's expression.

Now she finally understood why the Song family was so mean to her. It turned out that this was the problem.

But there is no way, I have done it, I can't be as embarrassed as the Song family, or just ignore the life and death of my family, right?

Apart from the salary from her uncle, the Xilin Jueluo family has no regular income. Without her financial support, the whole family would starve to death.

Even Li felt uncomfortable looking at Lin Mingyan's arrogant look, let alone Song and Zhang who had no favors?

During the New Year's Eve dinner, there was not even a polite word. Who could have endured it if they were not waiting to see the show?

After finally clearing away the untouched food, Nanny Wang came with a play script and asked them to choose a play.

In order to avoid disputes, the three princesses each ordered two games, and Zhang ordered one game.

After seven performances, the New Year's Eve celebration is over and we can go back and rest.

Needless to say, the order of ordering the plays was: Song started and Zhang ended.

Seeing that the performers were starting to appear on the stage, Lin Mingyan ignored everything else and started watching with great interest.

While watching, I thought: It's quite nice, but she doesn't quite understand what he's saying.

It would be great if there were Kabuki, so we could listen to the songs and watch the dances, that would be beautiful.

In the palace, the dancers were dancing hard, and cheers could be heard from time to time.

The Fourth Master sat in the front, very close to the Emperor, and had no interest in watching the dance.

Just now, the emperor called over all the imperial grandchildren and lined them up in front of the hall. At a glance, there were more than ten of them.

Except for those who were still in their cradles and couldn't stand, the third brother even brought the little princesses who could just stand.

Hearing the childish voice shouting "Long live the Emperor", the Emperor was very happy and everyone below was smiling.

But only the Fourth Master's face was frozen from smiling.

There are so many children, but not one of them is his. No one would be happy about this.

The eighth brother also has no children, but he is three years younger, so it is not time to worry yet.

The Fourth Master drank a glass of wine to disguise his feelings, feeling the spicy and slightly bitter taste in his mouth, and he still felt a little uncomfortable.

From childhood to adulthood, he never allowed himself to fall behind others. Even in riding and archery, he was just inferior to his elder brother.

Now, compared to children, even the unruly Lao Jiu already has a little princess.

But he has enough wives and concubines in his backyard, but no children.

Fortunately, Mrs. Li is already pregnant. If all goes well, she will be able to give birth when the spring comes next year.

Can I bring it into the palace during next Chinese New Year?

Even if he still can't stand in front of this temple at that time, he won't feel uncomfortable.

As the Fourth Master was thinking, the Emperor noticed him and shouted, "What are you thinking about? Don't tell me you're drunk!"

Only then did the Fourth Master realize that he had drunk cup after cup, and the small pot on the table was empty.

He stood up embarrassedly and replied, "Father Emperor, I want to write a policy paper."

There is really no excuse. I can't say that I miss my child.

I can only deceive the king in public without blushing or getting nervous.

The emperor didn't mean to make things difficult for him, he just asked to show his concern.

Hearing his answer, he chuckled and said, "You're already grown up, you can't just memorize this book."

"Starting next year, princes over eighteen years old will no longer be allowed to go to the study room. Instead, they will go to one of the six ministries to gain experience."

"Well, except the prince."

The Fourth Master didn't expect that an unintentional remark would have such a good result.

He, along with several brothers who were over 18 years old, immediately knelt down to express his gratitude.

I was even more excited.

Finally, finally I have the chance to show off my skills!

The prince sat below the emperor, feeling unhappy as he watched his brothers express their gratitude happily.

He is already twenty-four years old, and in ordinary society, a twenty-four-year-old can be the head of the family.

But he is still studying in the study room. Before, he didn't notice that his brothers were studying together.

Now even his younger brother, who is six years younger than him, can go to the six departments for training, but he can only study.

He smiled bitterly in his heart, poured a glass of wine and drank it down in one gulp.

Not long after, the emperor left.

At the same time, the Yonghe Palace, filled with singing and laughter, welcomed Manji, the eunuch who served the emperor.

Manji is Liang Jiugong's apprentice. Just because of his master's face, everyone in the harem has to give in a little.

When Concubine De saw him coming, she was naturally happy and ordered people to give him double the reward before she listened to his oral instructions.

After Manji left, Concubine De was still frowning.

She tried to hold it in, but couldn't help asking Aunt Fu, "What do you call this?"

It’s the New Year, and you remembered that your fourth son has no children?

If she hadn't prepared in advance, where would she find someone to give birth to at this critical moment?

"It's a good thing that the Emperor cares about the Fourth Prince," Nanny Fu said in a flattering tone, "There are also those who don't have children. The Emperor doesn't care about everyone."

Yes, Lao Ba has been married for several years and has no children.

The Fourth Master had several babies in his backyard, but unfortunately they all fell pregnant. However, there is still one left.

That one has been married for more than four years, and there hasn't been any news.

"Forget it, just call the two I selected before the New Year, and then ask the fourth brother's family to take the one back directly," Concubine De rubbed her eyebrows, feeling very uncomfortable.

The fourth son's wife already had a lot of thoughts, and now he was given two concubines during the New Year. How could he be happy?

She has made all the preparations. She will wait until Li gives birth to the child and spring comes, and then send the person over. Wouldn't that be perfect?

The emperor has to interfere. The fourth son's family will not be happy, and the fourth son probably feels slapped in the face.

But it was useless to be angry. I couldn't just run to the emperor and ask him to take back his decision, right?

If this were an ordinary family, my wife would have scratched his face that night!

Unfortunately, this is in the palace, and the man is the emperor, so what he says is the final word.

After the Fourth Master was excited for a while, he went to pick up his wife after the banquet. He saw that she had a sullen face and was followed by two strange women.

Before he could ask, Fu Jin said, "This was given by Wu and Yi.

It's New Year's Day, and giving a concubine away is definitely not something my mother would do.

The Fourth Master thought of the Emperor's question and must have thought that he was drowning his sorrows in alcohol, right?

Being misunderstood by his beloved father, and being hastily granted a concubine, his face was extremely dark.
