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

The trees are green and the sun is shining.

When Lin Mingyan returned to Linfengju, Linglan, with the help of Su He, was hanging her changed clothes on a rope at the edge of the yard to dry.

Lin Mingyan was a little curious and asked, "Aren't there special maids who wash clothes?"

I only have two maids, and they have a lot of work to do. They even have to wash their own clothes. That’s too hard, right?

Linglan quickly explained, "This yarn is too valuable. I was afraid that the maids would be rough and ruin it, so I left it for myself to wash."

Having said that, Lin Mingyan instantly understood that this improvised dress was still too bold in this era.

If it had been sent to the laundry house, the whole backyard would have known about it by now.

It seems that although this little girl Linglan is still young and inexperienced, she is quite sharp-minded.

"Okay, then if there's anything that's inconvenient for outsiders to wash in the future, you guys can do it," Lin Mingyan said playfully, "There's a reward."

Linglan and Suhe looked at each other and agreed happily.

Now that Lin Mingyan had money, she put the reward on the agenda.

Originally, I should have been rewarded as soon as I entered the mansion yesterday.

But when I came here, I was determined to fight to the death and didn't bring any money with me.

Later, ten taels of silver and a silver hairpin were found in the small bundle. They were secretly put there by Xilin Jueluo out of pity for her.

I was too embarrassed at the time and had to think about how I was going to live my future, so I just let it go without mentioning it.

Fortunately, I was lucky last night and got a box of gold and silver ingots from the Fourth Master, estimated to be about one or two hundred in total.

Now, it can be used for a long time.

She asked Dujuan to take out the small box and said, "There are six gold and silver ingots each. Dujuan, count them and distribute them. Each of the three of us will have a share."

"Thank you, Princess!" Dujuan and the other two all smiled happily.

Before she was favored yesterday, the Fourth Master had already given the order, asking them to call her Gege, and from today on she was Gege Lin.

Lin Mingyan was a little nervous at first, wondering if her promotion from concubine to princess was too fast.

When I asked Dujuan in the morning, I found out that "Gege" was the formal name for a concubine.

However, some concubines, after serving the master in bed, did not gain the master's approval and were not promoted to regular servants, so they were still treated as maids.

Lin Mingyan patted her chest and said: Fortunately, fortunately, she got a regular job.

It is reasonable to give bonus money when you become a regular employee.

However, she specifically said to Su He: "I was the one who dragged you down last night and you didn't get any reward money. I'm sorry."

Su He performed very well in all five games yesterday.

Unfortunately, he was in the same team with Lin Mingyan, so he didn't get the reward in the end.

Su He quickly knelt down and said, "Princess, what are you talking about? There are always winners and losers in this competition. I will try harder next time."

Eunuchs are different from palace maids who can go out and get married. They cannot see their future, so they value money more.

Su He was indeed a little disappointed that he didn't get the reward yesterday, but now he feels much more relieved.

He thought: Following such a powerful master, will there be fewer opportunities for me to be rewarded in the future?

He can still tell the difference between one meal being full and another.

Dujuan and Linglan looked at each other, both knowing what Lin Mingyan was thinking, but said nothing.

Turning around, the two men took out yesterday's reward money, two gold and silver ingots each, and gave them to Su He.

Su He tried to refuse, but Du Juan said, "We were lucky yesterday. We are from the same courtyard, and I can't let you miss out on any good thing."

"Besides, this is a reward from the master, so you should also take advantage of the master's glory."

Maids look at things differently from eunuchs. Once they follow a master, they will definitely be completely devoted to him.

But eunuchs are different. They have too many places to go, and whether they can be loyal to their current master depends on how they are won over.

Lin Mingyan didn't know what the two caring maids did while she was catching up on her sleep.

When I woke up, I was served eight dishes and one soup carefully prepared by the kitchen.

She sat at the table and even felt it was a little unreal: These days...are so much better?

"It's a regular sale, and the dishes have more than doubled?" Lin Mingyan couldn't help but ask.

Yesterday’s four dishes and one soup seemed very good to her, but compared to today’s eight dishes and one soup, it was nothing compared to them.

Especially there was a dish of beef brisket on the table, the aroma went straight into her nose.

Du Juan smiled and said, "It's not because of this, but everyone heard the noise in the yard yesterday."

The Fourth Master came and first moved several large baskets of fruit, and then moved so many cloths and jewelry.

Finally, the lights in the yard were on for nearly an hour, and it was very lively.

Lin Mingyan's favor was laid out nakedly in front of everyone in the backyard.

Today's dish is her reward for the favor she received.

Lin Mingyan's greatest hobby in life is eating.

At this moment, looking at the table full of delicious food, his eyes lit up.

She stuffed her food into her stomach desperately last night, fearing that she wouldn't be able to eat it again.

I didn’t expect that it still exists now!

After she had a delicious meal, she told Du Juan, "I use serving chopsticks to pick up the food. You three can share the rest."

She saw what the servants ate yesterday, and it was just enough to make ends meet.

Otherwise, no master would regard giving leftovers as a great gift to his servants.

"Thank you, master. What should we do with the vegetables I put away yesterday?" Dujuan asked.

Lin Mingyan also remembered yesterday's dishes and felt a little embarrassed for being petty in front of the Fourth Master.

She waved her hand: "It's divided among the three of you. Deal with it yourselves."

Thinking about it this way, no matter what people say in the future, the Fourth Master is still a good person.

Lin Mingyan thanked them again and again in her heart. When the cool cut fruit was served to her in the hot afternoon, she was extremely grateful.

But she thought that the fruits at this time were picked when they were fully ripe and would not be kept for long.

I saved some for tomorrow and asked Dujuan to share the rest.

In Linfengju, three servants were having lunch in the back room, as if it was New Year's Day, and they couldn't stop talking.

Especially Linglan, looking at so many good things, hesitated and said, "Sister Dujuan, can I take a leave this afternoon?"

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Dujuan frowned, but still asked with concern.

Linglan swallowed a mouthful of meat and shook her head, "No, I was thinking that there were so many good things and I couldn't finish them all, so I wanted to send them back home."

Linglan was a bondservant, and her whole family served nobles, but she was more powerful and worked in the prince's mansion.

There are sisters in the family who work in other places, but my parents and brother all live at home.

"It's okay to send some gifts, but you are the master's personal maid. Wouldn't it be inappropriate for you to go out?" Du Juan said carefully.

The master now only has these two maids, aren’t they personal maids?

Linglan felt a little embarrassed after hearing this and was about to say that she would not go at all when Su He stepped forward and said, "Sister Linglan, I'll go for you. I've asked around and found that many eunuchs in the courtyard can go outside."

"But I guess it won't work today. People who go out every day need to register in advance."

"I'll go register later and see if I can go out tomorrow."
