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

Chapter 534: Princess

Concubine Yi locked her eyes on Concubine Hui, but she couldn't frame her at will.

After all, as a concubine, all those palace fighting tactics she used in the past are of no use.

Because Emperor Kangxi, who was able to come and watch the judgment, has long passed away.

There is nothing left to fight for, and some of the frame-ups just don't make sense.

Concubine Yi couldn't make something up out of nothing, so she could only transform into an eye and stare at Concubine Hui when no one was noticing.

Fortunately, after half a month, perhaps in recognition of the hard work of the Ninth and Tenth Masters, the Fourth Master praised them in the grand court for the first time.

Although he still didn't have a formal official position, he was praised by the Emperor, and when he was working again, he felt like a fish in water.

When Concubine Yi heard the news, she almost cried with joy and stared at Concubine Hui even more attentively.

Not to mention whether Concubine Hui had contacted someone outside, she even wanted to find out whether she had a stomachache today and used the chamber pot several times more than usual.

Lin Mingyan had no idea that there was such a diligent and conscientious person in the harem.

She has been busy arranging accommodation recently to welcome several princesses who will be brought into the palace.

The Fourth Master had already discussed it with her and decided on the ninth, tenth, and thirteenth eldest princesses, as well as the second princess of the Prince of Zhi.

The first three were sought after by their fathers themselves, while the second princess of Prince Zhi was chosen by the Fourth Master himself.

The reason given was that the Prince of Zhi had made great contributions in the previous war against Japan, so the grace was specially given to him.

The Prince of Zhi was still thousands of miles away on the battlefield, and it was too late for him to think of anything.

Inside the mansion, Zhang Jia, the legal mother, already had a grudge against Prince Zhi, so it was even more impossible for her to go against the Fourth Master.

It’s not that Zhang Jia is so bad, it’s just that she is not his own daughter, so of course he can’t risk offending the emperor and empress to help her.

Besides, being crowned a princess is a good thing no matter who you ask, as she has three other cousins to accompany her.

Concubine Hui didn't make any sound in the palace. She just brought a message to Zhang Jia, asking her to say a few words.

But how could Zhang Jia be so talkative?

After all, Prince Zhi never treated her as a human being before, and her mother had never stood up for her.

Zhang Jia said a few nice words to the second princess and then took her to the palace.

Because Lin Mingyan saved her once on the grassland, she remembered this favor and spent more time with Lin Mingyan during the holidays, so the relationship between the two was still good.

The relationship between Prince Zhi and the Fourth Master was not very good, but it did not affect the two people in the backyard at all.

Arriving at Kunning Palace, Zhang Jia said with a smile: "May the Empress be well and safe."

Following her, the second lady, Mo Yaqi, also bowed and sat down shyly after being given a seat by Lin Mingyan.

Lin Mingyan observed quietly and sighed inwardly.

This child was born in the 28th year of the Kangxi reign and is now 19 years old, which is the time for him to grow up.

She was supposed to get married last year, but before Emperor Kangxi could choose a wife, her family died, so her marriage was delayed.

Now that she has been crowned a princess in the palace, she is likely to be the first candidate for marriage in a period when there is a shortage of young princesses in the palace.

There are still several daughters of Emperor Kangxi in the palace, but the thirteenth princess's sister Princess Wen Ke and the ninth princess Princess Xu Jing both got married in the forty-fifth year.

The oldest princess now is Shisan's second sister, Princess Dunke, who is one year younger than Moyaqi.

So after being conferred this time, Moyaqi became the oldest princess.

If Mongolia had a request for marriage, she would be the first person chosen.

This is what the Fourth Master thought. After all, if he wanted to change the current situation of marriage, he needed an opportunity.

He wanted to use Moyaqi as an opportunity to find a chance to attack Mongolia and force the other party to agree to let the prince consort marry into the capital.

Moyaqi will definitely experience some turbulence in this, but it is a good thing that she can stay in the capital in the end.

Lin Mingyan didn't look at her again. She asked Yaliqi and Wu Yunzhu to come and take her to familiarize herself with the environment, and then she started chatting with Zhang Jia.

"Is everything going well in the mansion recently?"

Zhang Jia took a bite of grapes and said indifferently, "It's still the same."

"That cruel person is not at home. Wu and I are both good-tempered. We won't get in each other's way."

"She spends every day with the children, and as for me, the day passes by just tending to the flowers."

Ever since she knew that Prince Zhi was determined to kill her, she no longer cared about her dignity in front of him.

Naturally, she was unwilling to bear children for him, for fear that he would take advantage of her when she was weak after giving birth.

"To be honest, after being married to Prince Zhi for so many years, I have only lived a good life in the past two years," she shrugged self-deprecatingly.

To be even more heartless, she wished the Prince of Zhi would die on the battlefield.

By then, she will definitely take good care of Hongyu and make him an old lady, so that her life will be easier.

Lin Mingyan comforted him, "Living your life well is better than anything else."

"If you feel lonely, just go for a walk outside. No one says that women have to stay stuck in the backyard."

She has always been committed to helping women in the backyard go out and create their own world.

Now, apart from her as the queen, Princess Zhang Jia is also a woman with a very high status.

It would be great if she could take the lead.

Zhang Jia was already very bored, and when she saw Lin Mingyan encouraging her so much, she started to have some ideas.

She pursed her lips and said, "Can I go to the palace to take a look?"

"I heard that the mothers said that there are a lot more people. I will go and teach the orphans and do some good deeds."

I'm really old enough to like children a little bit.

She didn't have any of her own, and she didn't like the ones in the mansion, so she might as well go out and accompany those orphans.

"Then I'd like to thank you on their behalf," Lin Mingyan thought, feeling quite pleased. "I heard that my sister-in-law is a first-rate horseman."

"After all, the mothers are old and don't have the energy to teach horseback riding and archery. If my sister-in-law joins us, we can open this course."

Being praised like this, Zhang Jia's fighting spirit was aroused.

After returning to the mansion, he left all the affairs there to Wu, and went to the palace with his luggage.

She is too lazy to bother with all the troubles in the mansion!

As for Mrs. Wu, she had already seen clearly that she usually stayed with her daughter and was unwilling to go out.

The affairs of the mansion were not her business anyway, so she brought out Irgen Jueluo's trusted nanny and asked her to take care of it.

Fortunately, there are not many women in the Prince of Zhi's harem, and there is only one prince, Hongyu, so the situation is quite stable.

Time passed quickly, the chirping of summer cicadas soon became weak, and the autumn wind gradually rose.

It was not until the hairy crabs were placed on the table that Lin Mingyan suddenly realized that autumn had arrived.

The big case in Jiangnan also came to an end, and the Fourth Master rarely had time to sit down and have dinner with her.

He took the crab and opened it for her personally: "If you like, eat a few more. I've warmed up the rice wine for you, drink some quietly~"
