Rebirth of the Queen in the Harem

Ever since the news spread that Yi Xiu was going to hold a flower viewing banquet to elect Honghui's concubine, all the girls of the right age from the aristocratic ministers' families were getting ready and working very hard in order to be chosen.

In the blink of an eye, the day of the banquet arrived, and carriages drove towards the palace. For those who didn't know, they thought it was the emperor's talent show.

Nowadays, the flowers in the Imperial Garden are blooming in full bloom, so Yi Xiu held this flower-viewing banquet in the Imperial Garden. This huge Imperial Garden is enough to accommodate these women.

The women arrived at the Imperial Garden under the guidance of the palace servants. The protagonists Honghui and Yixiu had not arrived yet, but Jianqiu came first.

"Ladies, the Queen and His Royal Highness will be coming later. The Queen said that we can enjoy the scenery in the Royal Garden first."

After Jianqiu said that, he left the imperial garden, leaving a group of girls looking at each other. However, after all, one was the queen and the other was the prince. They couldn't talk about anything behind their backs, so they followed Jianqiu's instructions and had fun on their own.

After all, they are both daughters of aristocratic families, so they naturally have some close friends. Seeing this opportunity, they gathered together in twos and threes to joke.

There was only one girl, standing alone. Even though there were no friends around her and no one talked to her, she did not show any embarrassment or uneasiness. Instead, she felt an indescribable freedom.

"Hey, my sister looks really nice today."

Suddenly, a group of people stood in front of the woman. The leader was the woman's sister, Lin Muyao, the legitimate daughter of Lin Zheng, editor of the Hanlin Academy. Although she was speaking words of praise, the sarcasm in her eyes was clear and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised. Looking at her concubine Lin Zijin with a disdainful smile.

"Sister Lin, why is she here too?"

"That's right, you don't expect to be favored by the prince."

"Just her? Does she deserve it?"

"That is, who is the prince, what is her status, and don't look at how much she weighs to see if she is worthy of it."

Several friends behind Lin Muyao couldn't help but make sarcastic comments when they saw Lin Zijin appearing here.

Those people talked and mocked Lin Zijin like this, but Lin Zijin didn't take it seriously, as if the person they were mocking was someone else and not him.

Lin Zijin didn't pay attention to it, but kept admiring the delicate peonies in front of him.

When several people saw Lin Zijin ignoring them, they immediately became even more arrogant, and one of them stepped forward to make a move.

"What do you want to do? This is the palace!"

The maid serving beside Lin Zijin immediately protected her master behind her. Although she said so, the lack of confidence in her words still exposed the fear in her heart.

"Sister, forget it. After all, this is the palace, and it's not too late to settle accounts after the fall."

Although I don't know if others heard what the maid said, Lin Muyao did. This is the palace after all, and there are many people with mixed eyes. If someone with an intention spreads it, I'm afraid it will be completely out of the question.

"What my sister said is, if this is the case, then we will settle the score later."

The woman said through gritted teeth, and then looked at Lin Zijin with a malicious smile, as if she had already thought of ways to torture her.

"call......."

"Why, you were so bold just now, and now you're scared?"

Hearing his personal maid exhale a long breath, Lin Zijin looked at her with a slight smile.

"Miss, please stop teasing me. If she really attacks the young lady, I'm afraid that the young lady's appearance will be damaged and she will not be able to participate in this flower viewing party."

"Don't worry, they won't. Besides, you are here. Look, they will leave as soon as you take action."

"Oh, Miss, please don't laugh at me."

Lin Zijin and her personal maid did not get along like masters and servants, but like sisters, and there was not so much superiority between them.

Lin Zijin didn't speak, just looked down at the peony in front of her, but glanced to the side. Sure enough, just as she thought, everyone was paying attention to everything that just happened.

Just when Jian Qiu said those words, Lin Zijin felt something was wrong. The flower viewing party had already begun. How could Yi Xiu and Hong Hui come later? To put it bluntly, it was intentional, plus they were at the corner. Seeing Jian Qiu's clothes, Lin Zijin was even more sure of Yi Xiu's intention for such an arrangement.

Although the concubine was chosen, she was still serving the prince, so how could she choose at will? She would have looked at the details first, so this was the case.

Lin Zijin turned his head and looked in the direction of Lin Miyao's group and curled his lips. It seemed that their group was out of luck.

Lin Zijin calculated in his mind that there were fifteen women in total. Excluding Lin Miyao who had no chance, there were still nine people left including her. Lin Zijin curled his lips and said, See, her chances are a little better.

"The Queen has arrived!"

"His Royal Highness is here!"

As the eunuch shouted these two words, Yi Xiu and Hong Hui walked over slowly, followed by Feng Ruozhao and Qi Yuebin. Several people sat down at the seats that had been arranged. The girls saw Yi Xiu and Hong Hui arriving. , and hurried back to his seat to say hello.

"I would like to express my regards to the Queen, and to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Everyone, get up. No need to be polite. Just treat it like home. No need to be restrained."

"Thank you, Queen."

With a gentle smile on his face, Yi Xiu suddenly felt Hong Hui tremble beside him. He followed Hong Hui's line of sight and saw a few restless eyes blinking at Hong Hui. Yi Xiu didn't move. She still had a smile on her face, but some people had been eliminated from her list.

"Okay, don't be restrained, just go and play if you want."

"Honghui, you should go play too and see if there is a girl you like."

After that, Yi Xiu stopped caring about them and talked to Feng Ruozhao and Qi Yuebin.

When the girls heard what Yi Xiu said, they all looked at Honghui with blushing faces. Of course, there were also self-aware women present. Knowing that they had no chance of being selected, they stayed away and played with themselves. Lin Zijin also However, her purpose is to attract Honghui's attention.

While other women were scrambling to say a word to Honghui, she had already stood up alone and walked to the pavilion on the side. There was no one else in the pavilion but herself. She just stood there, looking at the carp swimming in the lake, leaning down. After saying a few words to the maid next to him, he saw the maid leave, leaving Lin Zijin alone in the pavilion.

Honghui's eyes were firmly attracted to her, as if she had an invisible magic power. Her temperament is like a blooming flower, exuding a charming fragrance that Honghui can't help but indulge in. Her every frown and smile were as beautiful and moving as described in the poem, as if she were a fairy coming out of a painting. Honghui seemed to be in a dream world, everything became blurred, and only her figure appeared clearly before his eyes, which made his heart beat.

Honghui walked over uncontrollably and stopped beside the woman.

Lin Zijin felt someone approaching, raised the corner of his mouth, but put it down the moment he turned around. After seeing the person clearly, he quickly knelt on the ground to salute.
