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

When Lin Mingyan arrived, the delivery room had already been cleaned, leaving only a smell of blood.

Xilin Jueluo had a red face, a headband on her head, and was eating sugar-coated eggs.

"Mother, are you okay?" Lin Mingyan couldn't help but ask.

After all, she was an elderly mother giving birth to twins, so she was always afraid that things would not go smoothly.

Xilin Jueluo drank the last sip of sugar water and quickly replied to her: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm fine."

"I'm just tired from giving birth and a little hungry. Giving birth is a physically demanding job."

"Then eat more," Lin Mingyan wiped her mouth with a handkerchief.

Xilin Jueluo shook her head: "I've already eaten two bowls. If I eat too much, I'll feel choked up later."

"When my mother gave birth to you, your father was still by my side. He cooked six eggs for me. I was so bloated at the time that I felt uncomfortable."

"Your father was beaten by the old woman again, I was so anxious..."

She will never forget what happened at that time. She was lying in bed unable to move, and her daughter was crying with hunger.

However, her husband was beaten by his mother-in-law for cooking a few eggs, and he ended up having to take care of her with a limp.

Thinking back on days like this, it really feels like something from my previous life.

Lin Mingyan had never heard her talk about this before, so she said bitterly, "They got away with it, mother and son. If I had known earlier, I would have been more ruthless!"

When it comes to Lin Bo's family, there is no such thing as more hatred than hatred.

Seeing that she was angry, Xilin Jueluo quickly changed the subject and asked someone to bring the twins over.

Lin Mingyan looked at her sweet and soft younger brother and sister, and all her anger disappeared.

"Oh, the little girl is so pretty~" She exclaimed as she looked at the little girl wrapped in a red blanket.

Although the younger brother is also good-looking, the younger sister is better.

It's rare to see that she's a beauty at such a young age.

Xilin Jueluo laughed and said, "The little fellow looks exactly like you when you were a child, and also like Yaliqi!"

"Really? No wonder they are a family," Lin Mingyan stared at her red little mouth, wishing she could kiss her.

She doesn't know what she looked like when she was a child, but her sister and daughter looked very similar when they were young.

Although she already has seven children, Lin Mingyan is still completely fascinated by the cuteness of a newborn baby.

After giving her a good kiss, she let the nanny take her away for fear of disturbing the children's sleep.

At this time, the men who were working outside also came back. Ling Zhu and Ming Heng both rushed back after hearing the news.

As soon as I entered the door, I went straight to the delivery room and first took care of Xilin Jueluo.

But seeing that she was fine and Lin Mingyan was there, he went next door to look after the children to avoid suspicion.

Lin Mingyan then remembered something and quietly asked Xilin Jueluo: "Mother, have you found a suitable match for my brother's marriage?"

Before her wedding, Mingheng was tricked into revealing that he had a mysterious lover.

Almost a year has passed in a flash, and the palace election has long ended.

Those who were chosen were brought into the palace and given marriages, while the rest were allowed to go home and marry on their own.

If Mingheng's sweetheart comes home, he has to prepare to go and propose marriage quickly.

Xilin Jueluo sighed and said, "This is a headache. I have seen many girls who were rejected, but the boss didn't even look at them."

"I talked too much and he got annoyed. He then went to live in the military camp and was away from home for ten days or half a month."

"If I hadn't given birth, he wouldn't have come back today!"

Xilin Jueluo was a soft-hearted person. She would not easily get angry at bad people, let alone at her own son?

If you can be so angry, it means you are really worried about your child.

Lin Mingyan was afraid that she would bleed more because of anxiety, so she quickly comforted her, "Don't worry, mother. I'll go talk to him later."

"Besides, how could a man like Mingheng, who is so outstanding, not be able to find a wife?"

"Well, it's not that I'm worrying, but he's already sixteen after the Chinese New Year. Who hasn't been engaged at this age?"

She didn't insist that he get married so early. He should settle down first and then talk about marriage in a few years.

Lin Mingyan could understand her feelings. After all, some people now start dating as early as ten years old.

However, because the woman still has to enter the palace for selection, it won’t be decided so quickly.

He just secretly took a liking to her and would get engaged to her immediately after she came back after being rejected.

Some people may ask, what if the woman is chosen and granted marriage?

There is no need to worry about it. If she is chosen, even if the matter doesn't work out, the man can just find someone else.

But Mingheng didn't even want to look at it now, thinking that the person he liked must have been chosen.

Thinking of this, Lin Mingyan also became anxious - could her brother be a love-brained person?

Seeing that Xilin Jueluo was feeling a little sleepy, Lin Mingyan advised her to rest and went to discuss with her brother.

Mingheng looked more robust than the last time we met, standing there like a big tree.

"Sit down, I don't want to look up and talk to you~" Lin Mingyan pointed to the chair and asked him to sit down.

Honeysuckle served them tea with a smile, then left and considerately closed the door for them.

She knew that they were discussing the master's marriage, and she didn't want to get involved and embarrass him.

Mingheng also knew what his sister wanted to say, so he sat down obediently and said straight to the point: "Sister, don't ask, she's been promised to someone else."

"Then you won't get married?" Lin Mingyan's heart sank.

It would be fine if Mingheng was stubborn as soon as he came in, but since he was so calm, it seemed like he had already made up his mind.

As expected, Mingheng said, "It's not that we won't get married, it's that we should establish a career first."

"Establish a career? How can you establish one with your official position?" Lin Mingyan asked in a deep voice, "Are you going to give up after you get married there?"

Mingheng hadn't intended to hide it from her in the first place. He smiled bitterly and said, "I won't delay her until she gets married and has children."

"Whose is this?" Lin Mingyan closed her eyes and calmed herself down.

She raised this younger brother herself, and to be fair, he was almost like her own son.

If there was any way to make him happy, she would do it.

Mingheng hesitated for a moment, then replied, "It's from the family of Mr. Zhang, a scholar in the Hanlin Academy."

The Hanlin Academy Shujishi was not a high-ranking official, but when the word "Zhang" was added, Lin Mingyan immediately remembered who he was.

"Is it the one I've seen?" Lin Mingyan frowned.

In her opinion, Zhang Ruoxue was not a good candidate for sister-in-law, so why was her brother so obsessed with her?

Mingheng shook his head: "No, it's the eldest daughter."

"That year, I escorted Mr. Zhang and his family back to Beijing. On the way..."

Nothing major happened on the way, but the death of the mistress was like the sky had fallen for the Zhang family.

Especially Zhang Ruoxue, her eyes were almost blinded by crying, and she was like a panicked chicken.

Zhang Ruoyu handled everything in an orderly manner. He not only took care of the whole family, but also paid more attention to the guards who were escorting him.

At that time, he thought that a woman who could withstand the wind and rain like this was really admirable!
