A life of ups and downs is pure joy

After returning to Jinhan, Tao Baiwan was seriously injured. The emperor was furious when he learned about it. The empress and the crown prince hurried to plead for mercy. In the end, it was Tao Baiwan's personal wet nurse who went to the palace to ask for an audience with the emperor to calm his anger.

"Humph, Yi'er went to work, why did she follow him? Now that something happened, you told me."

After returning to Qifeng Palace, Empress Xiao was furious.

Crown Princess Su Yuefei quickly stepped forward and knelt down to apologize.

"Mother, I have just learned of this matter. My Sixth Prince accompanied the eldest princess all the way to prevent her from misbehaving. I never thought something bad would happen."

"Her mother used to oppose me in every way, and now this little girl is acting with wild ideas day by day, relying on the slight favor of the emperor to become arrogant. One day, I will make her suffer."

Empress Xiao hated her mortal enemy Princess Lingluo, and she hated all the other officials, including Tao Baiwan, even more.

"Mother, fortunately this time only Yi'er's salary was fined, and the Eastern Palace was not affected." Su Yuefei was also helped up by the nanny beside the Queen Mother and sat aside.

Empress Xiao shook her head. "Didn't you see the emperor's furious expression in the imperial study? If Nanny Chen hadn't come, my Yang'er would have been punished. It's really frustrating."

Su Yuefei bit her lower lip and then spoke.

"Mother, the most important thing at this point is to know who the assassin is. After all, it was the eldest princess who saved Yi'er's life."

Empress Xiao looked at Su Yuefei in deep thought for a long time, and then said, "You should go to the Princess's Mansion in person to express your condolences. After all, she saved my nephew's life, so we should thank her. After all, it's a personal favor for us, and we don't want to owe her anything."

"Yes, mother, I will do it right away." Su Yuefei stood up and bowed.

"Wait, how is Huan'er? Is the baby in her belly hurt?" Empress Xiao asked again.

"My sister-in-law is fine. Wen'er has been taking care of her all the way." Su Yuefei said.

"Well, my eldest sister-in-law is the most anxious because Yi'er has no children now. Fortunately, she is fine, otherwise she would come to me to complain again, which would give me a headache. You go." Empress Xiao waved to Su Yuefei and said.

When Su Yuefei left Fengqi Pavilion, Qiao Ye, the maidservant beside Empress Xiao, rubbed her head and asked curiously.

"My Lady, there is something I have been puzzled about."

"Hmm?" Empress Xiao asked with her eyes closed.

"The Crown Princess is very virtuous and filial, so why...why does Her Majesty still dislike her and even prefers Princess Changping." Qiao Ye asked.

"If Marquis Lin had not been so cautious back then, the position of Crown Princess would not have been taken by a daughter of the fallen marquis Su. Her family does not have the ability to help my prince at all." Empress Xiao said, opening her eyes.

"There were indeed rumors about the Duke of Liehou in Jinhan City back then. It was said that the Duke felt sorry for his youngest daughter's frail body, so he moved his entire family back to Luofeng City to make it easier for her to recuperate." Qiao Ye said.

"Do you know who that woman is?" asked Empress Xiao.

"Since she is the youngest daughter, she must be the youngest daughter of Lord Gonglie. She must be the sixth daughter of the Lin family who is currently studying at the Qinghe Academy." Qiao Ye said.

"You watched closely in secret, but you were a little stupid. Judging from the age, the child was not born yet." Empress Xiao sneered.

"It's my stupidity..." Qiao Ye said awkwardly, lowering her head. Then she looked up at Empress Xiao, "Could it be Madam Xiao, the Princess Changping who lived in the Youran Garden next door?"

"It's not that I'm stupid. Just keep rubbing it." Empress Xiao said, closing her eyes again.

"No wonder the Queen is so fond of Princess Changping. She asks me to send toys and fine fabrics to the Xiao Mansion every now and then." Qiao Ye suddenly realized.

"I also prefer my Yi'er. He has been raised in my palace since he was a child. Although he is my nephew, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is even better than my own son." Empress Xiao said.

"I understand. Is your headache better, Madam?"

After Qiao Ye finished speaking, he gently and carefully rubbed Empress Xiao's head. Outside, the spring rain began to fall continuously.

In Qingbo Courtyard, Lin Qingwan came to visit Lin Qinghuan in the morning. At this time, the two had finished playing the piano and sat on the couch to chat.

Lin Mo and Xiao Qianwen also sat in another place studying the medical books they brought back from the north.

"Look at them, it's like they fell into a book."

Lin Qinghuan sipped tea while looking at Lin Mo, Xiao Qianwen and Lin Qingwan.

"This place is quite magical. I don't know whether this ice butterfly flower is real or fake." Lin Mo put down the book and said after reading a passage.

"Sister Mo, I know this." Lin Qinghuan responded as soon as she heard this.

"Well, what do you mean?" Lin Mo looked up at her and asked.

"The Ice Butterfly Flower grows on top of a mountain called Butterfly Mountain. At the foot of the mountain is a deep, perpetually frozen pool. Butterfly Mountain is steep and slippery, and the rocks are as sharp as knives. If you're not an expert in Qinggong, you can't possibly climb up."

Lin Qinghuan quickly told him everything Xiao Yi had said to him.

"No wonder it's so difficult to pick. This Ice Butterfly Flower is actually a miraculous herb, and its efficacy is comparable to that of a women's magic medicine." Lin Mo sighed.

"Why is it called the Women's Miracle Medicine?" Lin Qingwan asked curiously.

When Xiao Qianwen saw Lin Mo looking at her, she nodded and explained.

"Let me give you an example. If a woman is having a difficult labor or is bleeding profusely, this medicine can save her life and pull her back from the brink of death."

"It's ridiculous that such a miraculous herb is so difficult to harvest. If I had the ability, I would plant a whole yard of it so that giving birth wouldn't be a life-threatening experience for women."

Lin Qinghuan said while touching her belly.

Lin Mo smiled lightly, "Then my fifth brother-in-law will have to move Butterfly Mountain to Qingbo Courtyard."

"Can this flower only grow there?" Lin Qingwan asked.

"Well, flowers and plants are very strange. They are sensitive to the soil and environment, just like the Phoenix Eye Flower only grows in Luofeng, the Gate Mouse Grass only grows in Yinan, and the Ice Butterfly Flower grows in the extremely cold Butterfly Mountain. The most important thing is the deep pool of water at the foot of the mountain that is frozen all year round." Lin Mo said.

"Sister Mo, how do you know everything?" Lin Qinghuan asked in confusion. She had just been talking about the Ice Butterfly Flower in a boastful manner.

"I read it in a book, hahahaha, I also just found out."

Lin Mo shook the ancient book in his hand and laughed with Xiao Qianwen.

"I know a lot more words now than when I was a kid. Look at the bookshelf over there. They're all sorted by Shuyin for me. I've basically read them all."

Lin Qinghuan said proudly, pointing to the bookshelf not far away.

"You become more diligent as you grow older." Lin Mo said to Lin Qinghuan lovingly.

"Huan'er is not only diligent in studying, but has also been getting better and better at practicing the piano with me over the years. Now she doesn't have to be afraid of being yelled at by Princess Minghui anymore." Lin Qingwan said with a smile, covering her face with a handkerchief.

When Xiao Qianwen heard Tao Baiwan's name, she couldn't help but frown slightly, and looked at Lin Qinghuan thoughtfully.

I still remember that day when Tao Baiwan called Xiao Yi into the carriage to talk. When Xiao Qianwen was delivering the medicinal food, she accidentally overheard a few words between the two of them, especially the words Tao Baiwan said, "Brother Yi, you promised me to marry Wanwan, you can't break your promise."

Xiao Qianwen was so frightened that she almost spilled the medicinal food on the spot.

"It looks like Ru'er is about to get out of school. Wen'er, Ru'er said she likes the peach blossom tea you make the most. She even insisted on having a few cups of it today!"

Lin Qinghuan said with a smile, but found that Xiao Qianwen was staring blankly at one place as if she had suddenly lost her mind.

"Wen'er, what's wrong with you?" Lin Qinghuan called again. The other two sisters also looked at Xiao Qianwen. Seeing this, Lin Mo waved in front of her.

"Sister-in-law, you called me?" Xiao Qianwen reacted and asked hurriedly.

"Look at you, you're distracted. This young lady is getting married, and she has a lot of things on her mind." Lin Mo said with a smile.

"Second sister Lin is making fun of Wen'er." Xiao Qianwen smiled awkwardly when she saw the situation.

Lin Qinghuan was counting the days in her mind. Xiao Qianwen was about to marry into the mansion of Duke Shen. No wonder she was so worried on the way back. After all, marriage was a lifelong event. It was normal for her to be like this now. Fortunately, she had seen Shen Xin once from a distance. He had an excellent appearance and family background. Thinking of this, she no longer blamed herself.

"By the way, Sister Wan, my husband said that when Princess Minghui recovers from her injuries, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will go to Le Yin Fang to hold a banquet to thank her. You can come with me to watch the fun then." Lin Qinghuan said again.

Lin Qingwan looked up at her and asked, "When was that?"

"Well...it will probably take more than a month. Her body is just as delicate as yours and mine. But now she's back in Jinhan, and the imperial doctors and female doctors are all at her house, so she'll definitely be there soon." Lin Qinghuan said.

Lin Qingwan nodded.

"Huh, Sister Mo is so busy every day, why are you going back to your hometown with your mother-in-law next month? Old Madam Jia has so many daughters-in-law, why does she only like to take you with her?"

Lin Qinghuan originally wanted to call Lin Mo and Lin Qingwan to go together, but Lin Mo had to leave Jinhan City for something else.

"This shows that the second sister is the most favored by Madam Jia." Lin Qingwan said with a smile.

"Well, my mother-in-law treats me like her own daughter, and my two sisters-in-law also come to my yard to look for me every day. By the way, third sister, Wei'er got a new music score and asked me to bring it to you." Lin Mo said.

"Well, Sister Wei sent me a letter a few days ago, mentioning this matter." Lin Qingwan agreed.

"This young master of the Jia family is a real fangirl of Sister Wan." Lin Qinghuan sighed. Lin Qingwan blushed slightly and smiled shyly.

"Sister Huan, I'm back."

Just as they were chatting happily, Lin Qingru's voice and the crisp sound of bells on her body were heard outside, and then Shuyin came in with small steps chasing Lin Qingru.

"Sixth Miss runs really fast."

Shuyin said while panting, and then took off the outer robe from Lin Qingru.

"I've lost a lot of weight recently, so naturally I walk faster. Sister Shuyin, you are too weak. You need to eat more." Lin Qingru said playfully.

"Yes." Shuyin smiled and went out with Lin Qingru's robe.

Lin Ancai went to Tianmen to suppress the rebellion, and the Lin family, young and old, all returned to Luofeng City. Lin Qinghuan was worried about his sister living alone in the Lin Mansion, so as soon as he came back, he took her from her mother's home to live with her in the Xiao Mansion. Now it is Shuyin who takes care of his sister.

"Sister Huan, do you know who I met today?" Lin Qingru asked playfully while lying on Lin Qinghuan's legs.

"Well, it must be the young master of the Dong family that Ru'er mentioned to me." Lin Qinghuan said jokingly.

"Brother Dong, I see him every day, but today I met his uncle, Mr. Dong, who is Sister Huan's master." Lin Qingru said.

"Well, you have all seen my master, but I haven't." Lin Qinghuan said helplessly.

"He doesn't look like my uncle's age at all. He's quite handsome, and only a few years older than my eldest brother-in-law. He even spoke to me, and Brother Dong was very respectful to him."

Lin Qingru said with admiration.

"What did Mr. Dong say to you?" Lin Qingwan asked with a smile.

"Well, he asked me if I was a daughter of the Lin family, and then... Oh, by the way, Sister Huan, your master asked me to bring you a folding fan, saying that you should take it with you when you go to find him to become his disciple."

After saying this, Lin Qingru rummaged through the book basket she had thrown on the desk and handed the folding fan to Lin Qinghuan.

"It's a beautiful painting." Lin Qinghuan unfolded the paper fan and sighed as he looked at the masterpiece on it.

"Calligraphy and painting are what Huan'er is best at. I can only watch the fun."

Lin Qingwan leaned her head over and said after reading it.
