Chapter 218 Mission 1: The World Sealed by the Goddess 6

Ling You seemed to have been unleashed. "There are more strange things. My family is living well in Ningzhou, but a man named Mr. Huang San keeps trying to get close to my sister. He even said he could help my father get transferred back to Beijing. He said it was his help and asked my family to remember his kindness..."

This thing is so disgusting. It must have known my father's identity for a long time and deliberately came to disgust them. It wants the whole family to work hard for them. This is really a good idea.

"What's even more strange is that isn't Mr. Huang the Third Prince? Isn't he in love with Ling Yan, the daughter of the Duke of Ping's mansion? Why would he write such a frivolous letter to my eldest sister? What he did is truly inappropriate."

Wen Wan wanted to applaud Ling You. As soon as she came in, she found someone hiding behind the screen. It was the old emperor and the chief eunuch. The old emperor must be very angry at the moment.

He suspected that the secret that Ling Jiaye was his son was known to the Queen and the Third Prince, and that they were deliberately humiliating him.

Well, that’s great!

None of them are easy to deal with.

The virtuous concubine could only laugh it off. What else could she say? She was just going through the motions, allowing the old emperor to secretly see how his eldest son and his family, who were living among the people, were doing.

Ling Jiaye had guessed something, but he remained calm and behaved appropriately. After twelve years in the government, he had developed a certain authority. In the eyes of the emperor, this was his eldest son's dignity and nobility, and the more he looked at him, the more he liked him.

Wen Wan used her eyes to detect the purple aura on Ling Jiaye's body. It was now even more concentrated and connected with the emperor's luck. Now it was confirmed that Ling Jiaye was really the emperor's biological son. Her deduction skills were getting more and more powerful, and all her deductions were correct.

Xianfei took Bai's hand and said, "You are a good person. You gave birth to two sons and two daughters for your husband, and raised them to be well-educated and well-mannered. I heard that your eldest son has become a Juren in Ningzhou."

"To answer your Majesty, I know nothing about learning. It's all thanks to my husband's teaching. He has been the one who taught our two sons, and I have only been in charge of our two daughters' needlework, manners, and etiquette. However, since I am not from a high-class family, I can only spend money to seek out famous teachers for guidance."

Concubine Xian thought Bai Shi was quite good, neither servile nor overbearing, and more respectable than she had expected. More importantly, all four of her children were legitimate. "I heard you don't have concubines in your harem?"

Ling Jiaye replied, "This was my idea. My own mother died before I was born because of a harem feud. I really don't want my wife to suffer like this again. As long as our children are successful, one is worth several. Moreover, my wife is virtuous and kind, and she has given birth to four children for me. I am already very satisfied."

The virtuous concubine asked again, "Lord Ling, are your parents treating you well?"

Ling Jiaye didn't know how to answer.

Bai spoke like a machine gun, unable to stop. "They don't say good or bad, they just pretend my master doesn't exist. They're not mean, and they don't feel bad. There are six masters in the Ling family, and our master is the only one who seems superfluous, unlike the Ling master. Every year during festivals, we send gifts, but they haven't seen a grain of rice or a piece of yarn. One or two years is fine, but it has been like this forever. My master is obviously very smart and a great reader, but when the Duke was alive, he never asked a single question. After I married him, I followed in my mother's footsteps and spent a lot of money to pay for the guidance of a famous scholar. After a year of guidance, he passed the examination for a scholar. Relying on reading a few books at home, without any guidance, he passed the examination for a juren on his own, and after another two years of study, he passed the examination for a jinshi.

When it comes to reading, I have never seen anyone who is better at reading than our master.

Even the famous scholars of the past, if he was not old and physically unable to teach, and wanted to return to his hometown with his children and grandchildren to retire, would really be reluctant to leave our master. He is really a good gentleman..."

In her first life, Ling E married the grandson of Ling Jiaye's mentor. However, on the wedding day, Ling Yan sent people to rob the bridal sedan and sent her to a brothel, where she was humiliated.

"Mother, Mr. Wei is a good person, otherwise father would not marry into the Wei family."

The virtuous concubine became interested and asked, "Who is promised to the Wei family?"

Ling You said, "In reply to your Majesty, she is Mr. Wei's sixth grandson. She seems to be about the same age as me, but it's not certain whether she is my elder sister or younger sister."

"What are the names of you four brothers and sisters?"

Ling You then introduced the four brothers and sisters.

The emperor looked at this family and liked them more and more, because they were a harmonious and happy family. The family members loved each other, the brothers were friendly to each other, and the sisters had a deep affection for each other. Because the two sisters were sitting together, holding hands, it can be seen that the youngest girl was a little scared, and the older sister was always encouraging the younger sister.

A palace maid stood beside the screen. She was a good maid until the chief steward gestured, then she coughed twice. Xianfei understood, "It's stuffy in the room. I'll take you for a walk in the Imperial Garden. Let the palace maid prepare the meal first. You and your family can go into the palace and have lunch before leaving."

The family walked and talked with Concubine Xian.

The steward pretended to find the imperial garden and summoned Ling Chengjia to bring his two sons to speak to the emperor.

Seeing that Concubine Xian was friendly, Bai spoke as if she was in Ningzhou, telling jokes, funny stories, and folk stories, which made Concubine Xian very amused.

Although Bai was the legitimate daughter of a merchant, she was not afraid of anything when speaking or doing things. She was even better than the ordinary legitimate daughters of officials. In addition, she had been taking care of the miscellaneous affairs for many years, and her family lived a prosperous life. Her business outside was even more prosperous, and she made a lot of money.

When Ling Cheng's family, father and son, went to see the emperor, the emperor invited them to have lunch.

Wenwan, her mother and daughter had dinner with Concubine Xian.

At noon, a palace maid came to report that the emperor was very happy today and rewarded the Ling father and son with some writing materials, cloth, gold and silver. The father and son had already gone to the palace gate to wait for them.

Xianfei understood and ordered the palace maids to prepare some cloth, jewelry and other gifts for Bai's mother and daughter. She took Bai's hand and said, "Come to my palace often. I feel like we get along very well."

Bai asked in a low voice, "Your Highness spends a lot of money in the palace. Please keep this little banknote as a gift from me, a junior."

Wen Wan watched her mother take a stack of banknotes and hand them to Concubine Xian.

After the virtuous concubine had the Bai mother and daughter sent away, she took out the banknotes and looked at them. "Tsk, I've heard that the wife of the Ling Cheng family is good at making money. She's so generous that she gave me a gift of 200,000 taels of silver."

When the emperor found out, he couldn't help but laugh. "My beloved, Cheng'er and his family are all pure and kindhearted. Bai gave you two hundred thousand taels of silver as a gift, so just accept it. Today, Cheng'er found out that I'm his biological father, and he gave me two million taels as a gift. I told you to keep it for yourself and not to put it into the national treasury. If you want to eat something delicious, just give the money and ask the steward to arrange it for you..."

He lived his whole life, and only when his mother was alive when he was young, she helped him from time to time. When his mother died, his aunt entered the palace and had her own children, so how could she take care of him? He has always been the one who protected and cared about others.
