No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?
Chapter 38 Butterfly Dance
During the Chinese New Year, two princesses entered the prince's mansion at once.
The backyard, which had seemed calm, began to surge with undercurrents again.
"I heard that Madam Fu hasn't slept well these past few days!" Dujuan pinched the small handkerchief, as if she was the one who didn't sleep well.
Lin Mingyan ate a jujube and said nonchalantly, "Fujin has to go to the palace to pay New Year's greetings before dawn and won't be back until midnight. Who can sleep well?"
In fact, after Wu and Yi arrived, neither of them had ever met the Fourth Master and his wife.
But the reputation of these two people has spread throughout the backyard.
After all, this was brought back on New Year's Eve, and I heard that it was the emperor who personally ordered it.
In the entire backyard, only Fu Jin was personally assigned to the Fourth Master by the Emperor.
The others were either chosen by the Empress or the Lady Consort.
In this comparison, the two new princesses suddenly looked noble.
Du Juan was also worried. She specifically inquired about the reactions of Lin Mingyan's colleagues: "I heard that Princess Li broke another set of celadon tea sets. I'm afraid that the concubine position will fall to the two new princesses."
In fact, she was also quite anxious. They were chosen by the emperor himself, so wouldn't they be superior to them in every way?
Lin Mingyan smiled and pinched her serious little face: "You think a lot."
"Do you still believe this nonsense?"
"If it was really chosen by the Emperor himself, then she would have been a concubine, not a princess."
Just like getting a concubine in the future, she will be a concubine as soon as she comes in, and her family will at least be powerful.
These two were also from the Han Army Banner, and their fathers were both minor officials.
Although it is better than the Lin family, it is impossible to be placed in front of Kangxi.
But when I think about it this way, it seems that the women in the Han army flag are quite subtle, like a concubine reserve flag.
"That...that's true," Du Juan was not stupid either, and she came to her senses immediately.
But then he became a little worried: "Let's not talk about the others. Anyway, no one is favored by anyone. You are the one who is favored the most right now."
"With these two new ones, won't your favor be divided?"
Lin Mingyan had no choice, and this was also the fact.
The Fourth Master didn't love her to death and couldn't live without her, so of course the arrival of a new person would dilute his favor.
But after enjoying the pampering, Lin Mingyan was actually a little afraid of losing it.
It's like you were the top salesperson in the company last year. You can do whatever you want as long as you don't offend your boss or his wife.
Food, accommodation, and transportation are all of the highest standard, and the year-end bonus is the highest in the company.
This year I have to give away most of it all at once, which is indeed a bit sad.
"Should I compete for favor then?" Lin Mingyan was aware of this.
She doesn't believe in the nonsense that "not fighting is fighting".
When you go to attract customers, you have to build relationships with them and play the emotional card.
What's more, in the backyard, if you don't fight, you will end up like Song, who initially served the Fourth Master but ended up only being a concubine.
What's the point of that?
"Princess, how do you want to fight?" Du Juan was secretly a little excited.
The princesses haven't even made a move to compete for his favor, but the Fourth Master is already head over heels in love with her.
If they start resorting to trickery, wouldn't the Fourth Master be completely bewildered?!
Lin Mingyan thought about the various tactics she had learned from palace fighting dramas in her previous life.
First, rule out the possibility of harming people or drugging them.
Then there is only...
After paying New Year’s greetings, the Fourth Master finally had some free time.
Su Peisheng reported diligently, saying which of the two new princesses should he go with?
The Fourth Master had no likes or dislikes for these two princesses, but when he thought of the Emperor's intention, he didn't want to go.
He glanced at Su Peisheng and said, "Let's go to your Linggege."
As a result, halfway... he met Lin Mingyan who came out to intercept him.
Well, it must be because I haven’t been to Linfengju for too long. Cha Cha misses me.
The Fourth Master was no longer in a hurry. He followed Lin Mingyan's idea and entered the pavilion nearby.
Seeing how cooperative he was, Lin Mingyan made a gesture in her heart.
She didn't just come here to steal the show; she came here specially prepared to compete for favor.
She cleared her throat and forced her voice to be a little more mellow. "Master, can I dance for you?"
Dancing and spinning around in the waterside pavilion is a must for winning favor!
When the Fourth Master heard her unnatural voice, he shuddered and wondered if this was Li pretending to be Cha Cha.
But considering that Li is pregnant now, it shouldn’t happen.
He had never seen Lin Mingyan dance, but since he had nothing else to do, he nodded and said, "Then let Cha Cha dance and see."
After saying that, he asked Su Peisheng to take people to clear the garden and guard the intersection to prevent others from entering.
Dancing and playing the piano to win favor is, after all, a way to flatter and win favor. He doesn't want others to know about it and laugh at Cha Cha.
Lin Mingyan didn't understand all this. She had already prepared herself and was spinning in circles like Xiang Fei.
It took her a long time to practice before she could spin more than ten times without feeling dizzy.
But she didn't do anything other than spinning around, and she looked like a little girl playing around.
The Fourth Master thought this was a prelude, so he took the tea and took a sip. Seeing her spinning around, he almost spit out the tea.
Reluctantly holding it in, he swallowed it and said, "Cha Cha, aren't you going to start yet?"
He was even a little curious: Wouldn't he feel dizzy if he turned like this?
How could the method of winning favor that Lin Mingyan had come up with with so much difficulty be as simple as going in circles?
Hearing the Fourth Master's "impatient" urging, she suddenly lifted up her outer robe.
In an instant, the outer robe covered with Suzhou embroidery flew out like a blooming flower.
As the sleeves of his robe fluttered, countless colorful butterflies flew out from under his robe.
It was as if she had discovered a flower fairy, dancing gracefully around Lin Mingyan and above her head.
Everyone was attracted by the wonder before them and couldn't help but stare at Lin Mingyan, wanting to find out what was going on.
It's still the first month of the year and the flowers haven't bloomed yet, so how could there be butterflies?
Moreover, the butterflies danced around Lin Mingyan, and one of them even landed on her peach blossom hairpin, looking like it was really sucking nectar.
There is white snow all around, but in the waterside pavilion there are beauties, fragrant clothes, and dancing butterflies.
Such a scene, let alone the ancients who lacked knowledge, even modern people would stop and take out their mobile phones to take a short video if they saw it.
Lin Mingyan raised her chin and looked at everyone's intoxicated expressions, feeling a little proud.
This is an amazing method that she came up with after much thought.
Sure enough, even Su Peisheng, who always looked down on others, almost dropped his jaw in shock.
Turning to look at the Fourth Master, he looked like he was trying to hold back his laughter.
Ok?
Isn’t the Fourth Master curious?
Lin Mingyan couldn't spin any further. She had reached her limit and was about to faint if she continued.
She stopped and asked breathlessly, "Master, what are you laughing at? Don't you think it's beautiful and amazing?!"
