Marrying Wife and Concubine Together: After Rebirth, I Remarried the Scumbag's Father on the Sp

Wang Yanyan looked at him disappointedly, feeling that the Xiao Ling in front of her was completely different from before.

Ever since she entered the palace, he has always been gentle and polite to her.

But now, his face was full of indifference.

Why is this happening?

While she was silent, Xiao Ling asked dissatisfiedly, "Queen? Do you have anything else to say?"

Wang Yanyan had no choice but to answer: "I'm fine!"

She turned away with a dejected look, but the doubt in her eyes never dissipated.

A young eunuch came hurriedly towards them, holding a teacup in his hand.

A fresh smell suddenly entered her nose, causing her whole body to tremble violently.

She subconsciously spoke up to stop him: "Stop? Are you sending this tea to the Emperor? He hates the smell of mint the most. How dare you give it to him?"

The young eunuch replied in surprise, "Your Majesty, the Emperor personally ordered the use of mint leaves. He said it would clear the mind and invigorate the brain!"

Wang Yanyan froze suddenly. The emperor had even changed his taste in tea?

The maidservant beside her advised: "Empress, don't overthink it. The Emperor must be busy with government affairs, so he has neglected you. When he is done, he will definitely come to see you!"

Wang Yanyan bit her lip hard, and nodded after a moment: "You are right, I shouldn't have suspected it!"

At this time in Prince Li's Mansion, Zhan Miao was throwing herself into Lin Yiwan's arms and acting coquettishly.

She hooked her arm around her neck and said, "Mom, Miaoer misses you so much. During the few days you were gone, I couldn't eat or sleep well!"

Before Lin Yiwan could even open her mouth, Zhan Mu, who was sitting nearby, interrupted, "Who can eat two bowls of rice for one meal? You even had your grandmother make new clothes. Look at how chubby you are. You must have gained more than ten pounds, right?"

Zhan Miao pouted angrily: "Mom, look at my elder brother, he only speaks the truth!"

Lin Yiwan reached out and tapped her nose: "You clever little devil, I've noticed you've gained a lot of weight, and the flesh on your little face is getting even better and better at pinching!"

Zhan Miao shyly snuggled into her arms: "No, I'm not fat, mother, you really saw it wrong!"

Lin Yiwan reached out and patted her shoulder: "Okay, mother knows you're not fat. Tell me, what new things have happened during the time mother has been away from the capital?"

Zhan Miao thought about it carefully before answering, "Mother, I hate that monk Zhiqing. Ever since he entered the palace, the emperor has called me over several times to copy Buddhist scriptures!"

Lin Yiwan asked in surprise, "Are you the only one calling?"

Zhan Miao nodded: "Yes, the Queen wanted to accompany me, but he wouldn't let her, saying that copying Buddhist scriptures like that was insincere and that the Buddha would blame him. He calls himself a disciple of Buddha, so pretentious!"

Lin Yiwan's heart tightened. Why was he so concerned about Zhan Miao?

She subconsciously asked, "Did anything happen when you were copying the scriptures?"

Zhan Miao shook his head: "No, who am I? I was alert. I copied it quickly, then lied and ran out, saying I had a stomachache!"

Lin Yiwan breathed a sigh of relief. As expected of her daughter, she had the ability to cope with situations.

At this time, Zhan Qingning walked in from outside and said, "Mother, Miss Pang Qiang's courtyard has been settled, and several reliable maids have been assigned to take care of her!"

Lin Yiwan praised him, "From now on, the stewardship of our Zhan Yihou Mansion will be handed over to you. You are now acting more carefully and cautiously, and mother is very pleased!"

Zhan Qingning lowered her eyes shyly: "Mother, please don't praise me like that, I didn't do anything!"

Zhan Miao said without hesitation: "Sister Qingning, don't be modest. Even grandpa praised you for your tactful way of dealing with people. You are the most outstanding girl in our Zhan family!"

Zhan Qingning reached out and pinched her little face: "You are not allowed to say that to me in front of mother. Those are what I should do!"

Lin Yiwan said, "Qing Ning, you don't have to take all the responsibility on yourself. There is nothing that should or shouldn't be done. I feel relieved that you have managed Zhan Miao and Zhan Yihou's residence so well. Mother will give you a gift later!"

Zhan Qingning's eyes suddenly turned red, and she said in a trembling voice: "Mother, I did all this not for the sake of receiving gifts!"

Lin Yiwan held her hand and comforted her: "Don't think too much. You should know very well that mothers don't tolerate any grain of sand in their eyes. Anyone who has made a contribution will be rewarded, and no one is exempt!"

Zhan Miao pricked up his ears and asked, "Mom, where's my gift? I'm very well-behaved and obedient at home, and I haven't caused any trouble for you, so there should be one, right?"

Lin Yiwan laughed: "We have them all, and yours is also indispensable!"

Zhan Miao quickly kissed her on the cheek: "Give me a big kiss, thank you very much!"

Zhan Qingning watched the interaction between the mother and daughter, a hint of envy flashing in her eyes.

She quickly turned her eyes away, hiding her thoughts quietly.

Lin Yiwan also saw her younger brother Xiao Rui. He had red lips and white teeth, and was handsome. He stood at the door and saluted respectfully: "A Rui greets the eldest sister!"

She quickly stepped forward and held his hand: "Get up quickly, you don't have to be so polite to your sister!"

Lin Su rarely took him out before because he was too weak.

Now that I've grown up, apart from being a little thinner, there's nothing else wrong with me.

He is now Zhan Mu's little follower, and he follows him almost wherever he goes.

The two of them recited poems and wrote in a very elegant manner. Although they were so young, they looked like teachers.

When Zhan Miao saw the two, he shouted, "Oh, why are there two nerds at home? They hold books all day long, their eyes are glued to them. Can't they just eat and drink?"

Lin Yiwan lectured her, "Isn't it good to read more? If anyone is like you, whose eyelids droop when they see a book, they'll definitely start snoring in less than an incense stick!"

Zhan Miao explained shyly: "How could I? Sister Qing Ning can testify that sometimes I can last for a stick of incense!"

Xiao Rui spoke softly, "It's okay if Miao'er doesn't like reading. Her uncle and brothers and sisters will spoil her and make sure she doesn't suffer any grievances in the future!"

Zhan Miao narrowed his eyes and smiled: "Look, my uncle Rui is still very loyal. They earn money to support the family, and I, little Miao, just have to be a good baby who eats salted fish!"

Lin Yiwan couldn't help but laugh. This girl was so confident in being a salted fish.

She couldn't help but sigh that Prince Li's Mansion was really bustling nowadays.

I just hope that all the children can grow up safely and have a happy life.

After dinner, the children went to the back garden to light lanterns.

Lin Su and Lin Yiwan talked together, and she first mentioned Madam Ye of the Duke's Mansion.

She whispered, "I've seen her several times at banquets. She looked at me, wanting to say something but stopping herself. I thought she probably wanted to find out about Ye Li, so I didn't hide it and told her that he was safe in the barracks!"
