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

Lin Mingyan sent someone to Niuhulu's mansion at noon, but the person didn't come back until almost evening.

Su He was so comfortable being served in Niuhulu's mansion that he didn't mind waiting for a while.

Especially Young Master Mingchen, she even asked him to bring two bottles of things that looked very precious back to the palace to give to the Empress.

He is the Empress's most beloved younger brother. Whenever she gives him some ordinary gifts, the Empress will be delighted.

It’s obvious that these two bottles today are not ordinary items. Wouldn’t the Empress be even happier?

Sure enough, Lin Mingyan felt very happy when she received the flower dew.

"Made by yourself?" She picked up a glass bottle, which contained a crystal clear light pink liquid.

After receiving Mingchen's instructions, Su He replied, "I heard that Second Master spent a lot of time thinking about it and made the rose water."

Everyone in the palace knew that the master's wife loved roses the most. His Majesty moved all the roses from the Qiandi Residence to her, and planted quite a few of them in the Kunning Palace.

But now is not the season for roses to bloom, so this rose dew is precious.

"This kid..." Lin Mingyan's lips curled up, but her tone was a little helpless.

If this younger brother lived in modern times, he would be a scientific research expert in science and engineering, but at this time he seemed a little bit obsessed with material things.

Fortunately, Mingheng was able to stand up. With him supporting him, Mingchen just had to live happily.

She casually opened the lid of the glass bottle and immediately smelled a faint rose fragrance.

The smell is nice, but if you think of it as a perfume, it seems a little too light.

Seeing her confusion, Su He hurriedly explained: "Second Master said this is for drinking."

"Drinking?" Lin Mingyan became more interested.

She thought it was for facial mask or perfume, but she didn't expect it was for drinking.

Su He followed Mingchen's instructions and explained the method of making it, which involved steaming and drying, so it was undoubtedly drinkable.

Lin Mingyan rewarded him generously, which allowed Rendong to keep the flower dew.

Things brought in from outside the palace, especially things meant for consumption, even if they came from Niuhulu's mansion, Rendong didn't dare let her drink them directly.

Su He was certain that it had not been made by anyone else, but he had to find someone to try it out before he could feel at ease.

She found a palace maid and a eunuch to test the medicine, poured a little for the two of them to try, and then came back to Lin Mingyan.

Lin Mingyan shook her head: "I said Mingchen would definitely not miss Princess Shang, and Geng would be disappointed."

She specially sent her confidant Su He to do this in order to prevent others from knowing about this.

In this case, if Mingchen refused this matter, it would not be considered as a loss of face for Wuyunzhu.

Honeysuckle said, "Your Majesty, you are too kind. There is no need to ask. Just refuse."

She also had some opinions about Geng, and felt that this person was becoming more and more out of control.

It is true that she once saved the prince, but the one who made greater contribution to saving the prince was Linglan.

Linglan died, and Geng was still alive, so the master and his mistress gave Geng more care.

Whether it was status or rewards, Geng and the eldest princess were the only ones in the backyard.

Especially the eldest princess, the master treats her and the legitimate princess equally, and all rewards are the same.

That’s it, and you’re still not satisfied!

"It's all for Wuyunzhu. It fulfills her motherly heart," Lin Mingyan sighed.

In fact, it was also her own regret. A mother who was devoted to her daughter was the mother she had always wanted but could not get in her previous life.

But even out of maternal love, this was the last time she indulged Geng like this.

Of course, Geng’s mother and daughter still have what they should have. If they can keep a calm mind, they can live a good life.

"Send someone to invite Geng over," Lin Mingyan pinched her brows and decided to reply to Geng herself.

If someone were to spread this message, even Rendong would be afraid that Geng would feel uncomfortable.

Geng arrived very quickly. As soon as he entered the hall and saw her face, his heart skipped a beat.

The smile on her face disappeared: Could it be that Nianhulu was really so ignorant of the current situation that she rejected Wu Yunzhu?

"My queen?" she asked anxiously.

Lin Mingyan gave all the servants in the palace a look, and then she spoke: "Alas, it's a little late to ask. Mingchen's marriage has been decided, and the tokens have been exchanged long ago."

"What?!!!" Geng never expected it to be like this.

At this moment, she couldn't stop regretting and hated herself for not having the nerve to ask earlier.

She continued to ask, "When did this happen?"

Lin Mingyan's expression remained unchanged: "Half a month ago, not long after His Majesty announced the cancellation of the draft, the Niuhulu Mansion had already responded to the call for independent marriage."

"It's so early?" Geng was a little distraught.

Lin Mingyan advised: "There's nothing we can do about it. It means that the fate of Black Cloud Pearl is yet to come."

"You don't have to worry. His Majesty is very concerned about the matter of the Black Cloud Pearl and will not be careless."

Geng was not listening at all. She only thought that she was the person who loved Wu Yunzhu the most in the world.

Although His Majesty was concerned about Wu Yunzhu, he loved the child born to the Queen more.

There are seven people in line before it is Wu Yunzhu's turn.

Even though Hongyan and Hongshi were princes, they might still be ranked ahead of Wuyunzhu.

How could she feel at ease when the Emperor was the one to worry about it?

Geng was worried and looked up at Lin Mingyan, feeling a little resentful.

It was obvious that she only needed to issue an imperial decree to allow Nianhulu to marry the eldest princess directly.

But for the sake of her family, she had to ask, but it turned out that they had already bypassed her, the queen, and arranged a marriage for Mingchen.

Really...

Lin Mingyan saw Geng's unhappy expression and knew that she was dissatisfied.

This made her feel really boring.

I agreed to it out of my motherly love for her.

In the end, instead of being grateful, the other party even complained.

The little bit of affection we had before has finally come to this.

Lin Mingyan waved her hand: "I am a little tired, Concubine Yu, please go back."

She no longer called Geng "sister". Once Concubine Yu came out, she did not allow Geng to have any chance to speak any more.

Ren Dong waited until Geng left before shaking her head at her back. "You're so confused! I really don't know who gave you the position you have today."

She only thinks about the favor of saving the prince, but has she forgotten the favor of the master who gave her the princess and helped her before they became friends?

At that time, she was willing to risk her legs to save the prince. Wasn't it because her master had been very good to her before and would not treat her badly in the future?

Live a good life with the eldest princess. Even if the man she marries is not that good, how bad can it be?

Princesses are different from concubines. They don't rely on men to survive.

If you are not satisfied with the husband you marry, then you can support another man or just change him.

Unfortunately, the Empress said it several times, but the other party pretended not to hear.
