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

Chapter 541: Yangxin Palace

Summer drags its long tail, reluctant to leave the world, and occasionally shows its mischievous power.

The Forbidden City was getting even hotter and stuffier. Lin Mingyan missed last summer a little bit. She had a much happier time traveling in the south of the Yangtze River.

The Fourth Master saw through it and consoled him, "The Old Summer Palace will be fully renovated by the end of this year. There are many lakes over there, so it will definitely be cool in the summer."

"Then can we live in the garden next summer?" Lin Mingyan's eyes lit up.

It’s just like going to play in the water during summer vacation.

In her previous life, after work in the hot summer, she would find a pond to sit by and enjoy the cool air. It was the most relaxing and pleasant moment of her day.

The Fourth Master promised: "Of course, we are all in Beijing anyway, so it doesn't matter where we work."

At most, the court officials would just report to him in a different place.

As a result, Lin Mingyan began to look forward to next summer.

When I thought of the clear lake water, I felt that the narrow palace became even more stuffy and I had no appetite for dinner.

The Fourth Master put down the memorial in his hand, looked at the fiery clouds left by the setting sun outside, and asked, "What would you like for dinner?"

Lin Mingyan didn't have much of an appetite and wanted to eat something refreshing, so she casually said, "Let's have a bowl of cold noodles, mixed with shredded cucumber and some vinegar, it should be good."

When the Fourth Master heard her description, his throat moved: "Su Peisheng, do as your mistress ordered and go and serve the food."

Su Peisheng hurriedly took the order and did not ask anyone else to help with such a small matter.

In the summer, Lin Mingyan ordered cold noodles very frequently, and the Fourth Master would also eat them from time to time.

As a result, the imperial kitchen also learned its lesson and prepared food almost every day.

Anyway, this thing is not valuable. If the masters don’t order it, it won’t be a pity to give it to the greedy little eunuch to fill his stomach.

But if the master orders it, and the serving speed is improved, it will also get some praise.

Su Peisheng went to the imperial kitchen and sat for a while, eating a lot of filial piety, and the cold noodles were soon served.

When he returned to the Yangxin Palace, the fire clouds had not yet subsided.

He stood on the high steps, turned around and looked at the magnificent sky, and a lot of pride rose in his heart.

The Fourth Master and Lin Mingyan had a simple dinner and thought of the children.

Crown Prince Honghui was forced to take on a new role last year, and after the Fourth Master came back, he couldn't get down from that position.

The Fourth Master doesn't trust others very much. He wants to do everything himself and go through everything himself.

But I feel very confident in Honghui. I think this is simple, so I'll leave it to Honghui.

If you think it can train people, leave it to Honghui.

Poor Honghui: ...child labor is so hard to beat TT!

But this way, the Fourth Master is indeed much more relaxed.

Lin Mingyan saw that although Honghui had a bitter face, he seemed to be enjoying it, so she didn't pay much attention to it.

After all, he is his own son, so he can't work him to death. Honghui still has enough time to rest.

Of course, sometimes she was afraid that Honghui would spend all his time studying and handling government affairs and would have no childhood at all.

She would use the excuse of missing her children to call everyone over, play and have fun together, and let everyone relax.

Anyway, the Yangxin Palace and Kunning Palace are as solid as iron, so their laughter will not be heard outside.

Seeing that it was getting dark and the heat had subsided a little, Lin Mingyan used the excuse of missing her children and asked people to go to the prince's and princess's residences to pick them up.

Because the Fourth Master had significantly fewer children than Emperor Kangxi, there were quite a few empty rooms in the prince's residence.

Lin Mingyan simply divided the things up, and half of it was called the Prince's Residence, where eight princes including Honghui lived.

The other half was renamed the Princess Residence, where Wu Yunzhu, Yaliqi, and the four princesses who were brought into the palace lived.

In this way, they lived together and studied in the study together, and they had a very good relationship.

However, when she picked up the children, she only picked up her own children, otherwise other people would not feel comfortable around them.

The Fourth Master hesitated for a moment, but didn't say much. He just ordered someone to pick up the children.

When Honghui heard the news, he unconsciously thought about it and reflected on whether he was too tired recently and his mother wanted to find an excuse to let him rest.

But when I think about it, I’m not tired these past two days. On the contrary, I’ve finished two errands, so it’s time to relax.

Unable to figure it out, he turned and stared at Hongli: "Old Five, have you gotten into trouble again?"

Hongli was jumping for joy, ready to run out to play in the Yangxin Palace.

As a result, his eldest brother grabbed his braid and questioned him. He said aggrievedly: "Brother, I have been more obedient than a little chicken recently. How could I cause trouble?"

The main reason is that the eldest brother has not been busy these days and has been keeping an eye on him every day, so he has no time to cause trouble.

Honghui saw that he didn't avoid her gaze and his face was full of grievance, so he knew that he was not lying.

He let go of his hand, clenched his fist and put it to his mouth, pretending to cough, and said, "Ahem, that was my brother who misunderstood you."

"Then big brother, you have to compensate me for the mental damage!" Hongli likes to strike the snake while it is still under control.

Today, I was inexplicably wronged by my elder brother and my reputation was damaged. How can I not get something back?

Honghui had no idea what to do with his spoiled fifth brother, so he could only agree to buy him this and that, and only then did he let go of the issue.

Since I can’t guess what the special reason is, the only reason is that my mother really misses them.

Everyone didn't hesitate and, led by Honghui and Yaliqi, headed towards the Yangxin Palace in a mighty procession.

Lin Mingyan sat in the armchair, somewhat lost in thought, and neither she nor the Fourth Master said a word.

It was only when she heard the sound of children's footsteps outside that she came to her senses and stood up to go out to greet them.

Yaliqi saw her stand up, rushed over and held her hand: "Mother, I miss you so much~~"

It's been a while since I last saw him, mainly because the weather was so hot. I was sweating just walking from the prince's residence to here in two layers of clothes.

If children play hard and sweat, and are accidentally exposed to the wind, they can easily get sick.

Today is indeed an exception. This is the first time they come here to play at night.

The seven people greeted each other and gathered around Lin Mingyan.

There are so many people, and they are not young anymore. There is nothing else to play with them, so Lin Mingyan localized the Werewolf game.

Villagers, werewolves, hunters, witch doctors and the God of Destiny, this group of people are really addicted to the game.

When they were in the prince's residence, they would also get together to play, but they were especially happy when playing with Lin Mingyan and the Fourth Master.

After all, as long as the two of them are there, the first blow will definitely be on their heads.

Every time Lin Mingyan jumped out and said that she was the Great God of Destiny, she would be voted out, which greatly increased the difficulty of the game.

In short, Lin Mingyan and Si Ye have no gaming experience at all and are just two tools every time.

But since the children were happy, they played along, and the Yangxin Palace was filled with laughter and joy...
