Rebirth of the Queen in the Harem

"You're back? How's it going? Do you like it?"

When Yi Xiu saw Hong Hui coming in, he pretended not to know anything and casually asked Hong Hui what he was thinking.

"Empress Huang, to be honest, there is indeed one of you who is more interested in me."

Honghui lowered his head shyly, but still told Yi Xiu honestly.

"Oh? I wonder which family she is from?"

Yixiu pretended to be surprised and quickly asked Honghui who he had his eye on.

"Yes...she is Lin Zijin, the daughter of Lin Zheng, editor of the Hanlin Academy."

"Well...I have never heard of Lin Zijin before, but I remember that Lin Zheng had a daughter named Lin Miyao. This Lin Zijin must be a shameful concubine."

"Huang'e Niang, although she is a concubine and has no reputation in the Forbidden City, I firmly believe that you should not make conclusions about people easily. Only by having real contact with someone can you understand whether a person is good or bad."

"Well, what you said is very good. He is worthy of being my son. He doesn't look down on anyone and doesn't jump to conclusions easily. That's good."

Honghui looked at Yi Xiu's serious expression and thought Yi Xiu was angry, but he didn't expect to hear Yi Xiu say this.

"Empress Huang, aren't you angry?"

"Why am I angry?"

"The one I chose is just a concubine, which will not be of any help to me in the court..."

Honghui spoke softer and quieter, feeling a little ashamed.

"You silly kid, as a parent, who doesn't want their child to be happy? Since she is someone you really like and admire, as long as she is innocent, I will not disobey you. Besides, I am a concubine. So what? Aren’t I also a concubine?”

What Yi Xiu just said was intentional. She was born as a concubine, so how could she not know how hard it is for a concubine to live in the family? If Lin Zijin was innocent and a sensible person , what’s the harm in agreeing to this marriage? It's just that Yi Xiu wanted to see Honghui's views on concubines.

"My dear, thank you, Queen Mother!"

When Honghui heard what Yi Xiu said, he quickly knelt down to thank Yi Xiu.

"Okay, get up quickly. It's getting late. Go and give your Majesty a good night before returning home."

"Yes, I will retire."

Honghui went out very happily, but when he went out, he lowered the corners of his raised lips and frowned slightly, thinking about what Lin Zijin was doing at this time.

Lin Mansion

Because Lin Muyao deliberately left Lin Zijin behind, Lin Zijin didn't have a carriage to go back. In desperation, Lin Zijin hired a carriage with his own money, which made him go back a little late.

No, as soon as she entered the lobby, she saw a whole family sitting there waiting for her. They all looked ugly, especially her aunt, who looked at her fiercely. Lin Muyao must have told her everything. A step-mother.

"Father, mother..."

"You evildoer! Why don't you kneel down!"

Before Lin Zheng could speak, his aunt had already spoken. When Lin Zheng saw this, he knelt on the ground with a plop. On the surface, he was submissive, but in his heart he was laughing. This is what she wanted to do. The worse, the better. Only in this way, those who followed behind would follow to inquire about the news. Talents are easy to communicate with.

"Do you know you were wrong?"

"Mother, my daughter knows her mistake."

"You! Do you know where you went wrong?"

The aunt didn't expect Lin Zijin to admit his mistake so easily, so she was so confused that she couldn't breathe for a while.

"The daughter doesn't know, but if the mother says her daughter is at fault, then the daughter is at fault."

Lin Zijin knelt on the ground, trembling a little. During this period, her father did not say a word, and drank tea with a calm face, as if the person kneeling on the ground was not his daughter, looking at With such a father, Lin Zijin gradually became cold in her heart, and later she laughed at herself. After so many years, she no longer expected her father to do anything for her.

"Very good, in that case, come here and take action! Not to mention that I, as a mother, am targeting you, I just want you to recognize the reality. Your Highness the Crown Prince has a noble status, and it is not something that a daughter born by a maid like you can reach. It’s worth it.”

Lin Muyao on the side looked at Lin Zijin with gloating. Originally, her mother had planned it for her. Now that Honghui had just become the prince, if he married another high-ranking concubine, it would arouse Yinzhen's suspicion. Therefore, it was most suitable. Yes, that is to choose someone with a low official position to be the concubine.

Her mother worked hard for her and gave away almost half of her family property to get the first batch of places to enter the palace. Most of the first batch were from high-ranking families, and only a few were from small families. And she is the most eye-catching existence in these small portals. She originally thought that she could win Honghui's favor in one fell swoop, but she never thought that Lin Zijin, whom she disliked the most, would be related to Honghui, and she herself , but she didn't say a word, how could she not be angry, so when she heard her mother said that she wanted to ask for help, she was extremely happy.

"Mother, my daughter has realized her mistake. My daughter has really realized her mistake. Please forgive her, mother."

When Lin Zijin heard what his aunt said, he quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy. Tears flowed out as if he didn't want money. Lin Zijin had performed this look countless times in the Lin Mansion, but he could not escape punishment every time.

"It's not that I'm cruel, it's just that you went too far this time and openly seduced His Highness the Crown Prince. If word of this spreads out, wouldn't it make people laugh at our Lin family for being shameless?"

"Mother, my daughter did not seduce His Highness the Crown Prince, she just said a few words to His Highness the Crown Prince!"

"Isn't this seduction? Come on! Do it!"

When Lin Muyao heard what Lin Zijin said, her expression changed on the spot. She only said a few words, but she didn't even say the words. Seeing her precious daughter's expression change, her aunt became even more angry and immediately asked people to Move the family law.

"Mother! Mother! My daughter has realized her mistake! My daughter has really realized her mistake. Please, please spare your daughter this time!"

Lin Zijin looked frightened, kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, but he still couldn't escape. With a look from his aunt, the old lady who was waiting beside him stepped forward, took the ruler handed over by the servant, and nodded. , someone held down Lin Zijin and pulled her hand out. The grandmother glanced at her aunt, and after getting confirmation, she started to fight.

The sound of snapping sounded, and the servants hurriedly shrank their necks when they heard it, but to the ears of their aunt and Lin Muyao, it sounded as sweet as a symphony.

Within a few moments, Lin Zijin's hand was swollen and even bloodshot oozed out, which showed how vicious this nanny was.

"Okay, stop."

Seeing blood dripping on the ground, my aunt nodded with satisfaction, asked the man to stop, and let go of Lin Zijin.

"This time, I just want to teach you a lesson. If there is another time, you don't have to stay in the Lin family anymore."

"It was...Mother...Mother...said...It was...children...recorded it..."

Lin Zijin lay on the ground with a pale face, cold sweat on his forehead, and his hands were shaking uncontrollably because of pain.

"Go down and think about your mistakes behind closed doors."

"Yes, my daughter is resigning."

The maid serving at the side quickly crawled over and helped Lin Zijin up. Seeing Lin Zijin's hands filled with tears, she bit her lips to prevent herself from crying, and helped Lin Zijin leave.
