Jinwei joins hands in rebirth: villains can also eat at the table

"Master, yesterday was a good day..."

Today was October 23rd, her birthday, and the Emperor was coming for breakfast. Jinzhong had come early in the morning to order the Yongshou Palace staff to prepare the dishes. He skillfully picked up the hairpins and rings on the table and placed them one by one on her headband.

Yan Wan was half asleep and only replied indifferently, "Oh? What good day?"

"It's the day Guard Ling married his wife."

Jinzhong was quite proud when he mentioned Ling Yunche, and a smile could not be concealed in his eyes. He turned his gaze and looked at the soft and beautiful face reflected in the bronze mirror with a hint of inquiry.

He felt inexplicably nervous. His master had always been like this. Once Ling Yunche was touched by anything, he would go crazy and even ten oxen could not pull him back.

In recent years, he always asks and wants to see.

After being reborn, Jinzhong always felt that he was in a beautiful dream.

He was afraid, afraid that the dream would end as soon as he opened his eyes, afraid that when he opened his eyes, his master would still be the same master as before.

So he had to ask, had to look, and had to take the initiative to seek a sense of security.

Only by seeing that she didn't care could he stop feeling anxious.

Hearing this, Yan Wan looked up and saw Jin Zhong's slightly nervous expression. She raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Why are you looking at me like this? Don't tell me that after so many years, you are still worried that I am still thinking about Ling Yunche?"

"How could I? I am just..."

His little thoughts were exposed, and Jinzhong couldn't find a good excuse to defend himself, so he simply stopped talking and, feeling guilty, changed the hairpin and put it on her.

"That's a truly auspicious day. I'll have Lan Cui send some wedding gifts to wish them a long and happy marriage."

After saying that, Yan Wan glared at him, stood up and walked towards the soft couch beside her: "You! You are usually fine, but when you meet Ling Yunche, you act like a child. You insist on me denying it again and again before you give up..."

She shook her head helplessly, completely puzzled by his childish interests.

After saying that, she pinched the soft flesh on his waist as if to punish him, but unfortunately the man in front of her was thick-skinned and this little trick was like tickling to him.

Jinzhong's heart calmed down as she moved, and he didn't hide, but indulged her in her fuss. When she finished pinching him, he leaned his head on her legs and looked up at her with a doting smile on his face: "Isn't it all because of your master's pampering?"

"You're so unruly all day long. You're really going backwards as you get older. In that case, you'll be returning to the Yangxin Palace soon. You can take this gift from me with you."

"Good! This is good! Master, rest assured, I will definitely complete this task well."

A bad look appeared in Jinzhong's eyes again, and he felt refreshed when he thought of Ling Yunche's frustrated and cowardly look.

He has always been narrow-minded, so how could he give up an opportunity to disgust him?

When Jinzhong returned to the Yangxin Palace, the emperor had not yet left the morning court.

Ling Yunche's marriage was arranged by the emperor, and now after the wedding he has to bring his wife and family to the palace to express his gratitude.

At this time, the two of them stayed in the side hall of the Yangxin Palace, waiting for the emperor to finish his morning court and have a meal before expressing their gratitude. After going to the emperor, they had to go to the empress, which was very cumbersome.

The two of them stayed in the small side hall, waiting for someone to come and summon them. Ling Yunche felt a little suffocated staying with Mao Qian, so he found an excuse to go out and get some fresh air.

Jinzhong's eyes flashed as he glanced at him, and he walked straight towards him.

"Hello, Lord Ling!"

"Eunuch Jinzhong." Ling Yunche nodded slightly as a greeting.

Jinzhong could never stand seeing him like this. He would close his eyes and roll his eyes, then open them and smile again.

"Congratulations to Lord Ling on your wedding. The Emperor has granted you this blessing. It's a blessing you can't ask for. It's a shame I can't go over to drink in the wedding wine. This is my gift money. Since we all serve the Emperor together, there's no need to refuse, right?"

Marrying the one you love is a happy event. The expression on Ling Yunche's face now is more painful than if his mother had died.

Tsk tsk tsk, the emperor should really come and see his current appearance, so that the emperor can know how dissatisfied Ling Yunche is with his arranged marriage.

"Thank you, Eunuch Jinzhong, for your thoughtfulness. The Emperor is so gracious and considerate that he personally granted the marriage. I am truly grateful."

After Jinzhong said this, Ling Yunche had no choice but to accept the gift money even though he felt like there was something stuck in his throat.

Seeing his pale face, Jinzhong's smile widened. He lifted the red velvet covering the tray in his hand. Inside was a pair of gilded filigree bracelets inlaid with lotus flowers, each adorned with several large rubies, giving them a strikingly luxurious look.

"I, the eunuch, have just gone to Empress Ling's residence to announce the Emperor's decree. The Empress heard that Lord Ling had gotten married, and considering they were from the same hometown, she gave him this bracelet as a wedding gift. She asked me to bring it along. This double lotus design is the most auspicious. Lord Ling, please take it back to your wife."

When Jinzhong mentioned Yanwan, his heart burned.

Since they both gave gifts together, they can be considered a match, right?

The reward was a bracelet, so it was naturally for Maoqian.

Ling Yunche doesn't like Yanwan, but Maoqian, this poor woman, can be used.

Maybe it would be better than her last life, letting her escape Ling Yunche and find a good family again, or maybe she could live out the rest of her life in peace and contentment. Anyway, no matter what, it was better than wasting her life on this useless man.

Perhaps it was because the twin lotus flowers on the bracelet were a little eye-catching, Ling Yunche was slightly stunned and felt very bitter in his heart.

What's the point of having two flowers together? It's just wasting your time with a woman you don't love.

"Thank you, Empress Lingfei, for your kindness..."

Ling Yunche murmured, but before he could finish, Jinzhong interrupted him.

"The Emperor will be leaving the court soon. I have some errands to attend to, so I'll be leaving first."

Jinzhong came to see the fun, and seeing that it was almost over, he couldn't bear to hear him mention Ling Zhuer anymore, so he put the tray in his hand and walked away.

Seeing this, Ling Yunche didn't want to stay any longer and went back to the side hall.

Seeing that he was holding a tray, Mao Qian asked in confusion, "What is this?"

"This is the wedding gift given to us by Empress Consort Ling. You can take it." Ling Yunche placed the tray on the table and sat aside with his eyes fixed straight ahead, looking very old-fashioned.

Mao Qian lifted the velvet cloth and took a look. She picked up the bracelet and examined it with great joy. "I've long heard that Concubine Ling is kind and generous. I didn't expect she would remember a fellow countryman like you. She's truly generous. I've only seen a few rubies this big. The workmanship of this one from the Imperial Household Department is also extremely exquisite."

Mao Qian knew that he and Concubine Ling were from the same hometown, but he didn't expect Concubine Ling to be so generous, and he also had some good feelings towards her.

Since you have given a gift, you should naturally express your gratitude.

The two waited for a long time before the emperor came back from the Yongshou Palace after having breakfast.

The emperor had an average impression of Ling Yunche. He only said a few words asking the two to support each other in the future and then asked someone to take them to the queen to express his gratitude.

After all, it was because Ling Yunche saved the queen that this marriage happened, so he had to go no matter what.

"Your humble servant pays respects to Her Majesty the Queen."

"Hurry up and get up, Rong Pei, have some tea."

"Mao Qian is from the Bordered Yellow Banner. Ling Yunche has found such a good wife. You must treat her well and not let her suffer any grievances." She looked at Mao Qian with a smile, and the fluctuations in her heart were finally suppressed.

Ruyi looked at the two of them, her eyes full of relief, but also a bit of bitterness.

"Please rest assured, Queen, I will treat her well..."

Compared to when he was in the Yangxin Palace, Ling Yunche's expression was much better in the Yikun Palace. When he saw Ruyi, there was a hint of a smile on his face.

After just a few words of conversation, Mao Qian keenly sensed that something was wrong, but she just thought that he was on good terms with the Queen and didn't take it to heart.

The two stayed in Yikun Palace for a long time before they walked out of it.

Yikun Palace was very close to Yongshou Palace, and happened to be on the way to Yangxin Palace. Mao Qian looked at the lotus bracelet on her hand, raised her head and said to Ling Yunche, "Empress Ling also gave her something. Logically, shouldn't I also thank her for her kindness?"

Yan Wan was a concubine in the harem, and Ling Yunche, as a foreigner, was not in a position to go over and express his gratitude.

She went to see the Empress only because she was the one who initiated the marriage. But as a lady of high rank and having just received a reward, Mao Qian should have gone to Yongshou Palace to see Concubine Ling.

Ling Yunche nodded after hearing this, but he still reminded her: "Empress Ling is not like the Empress, you... you must remember to be careful."

Thinking back to their breakup, he knew Yanwan was a woman of deep thoughts and ambition. But now that they were strangers, he couldn't say anything about her in front of his new wife, so he could only choke back his words and tell her to be careful.
