After rebirth, tear the black-hearted husband to pieces and step on the evil mother-in-law
Chapter 277: Favoring Only One
Lin Luoling lowered her eyes and scolded, "How His Majesty and His Royal Highness act is not something you and I can casually comment on. If someone with ulterior motives hears it, it will cause unnecessary disaster. Why don't you stop talking?"
Upon hearing this, Hualian knelt down and admitted her mistake, and promised not to say anything nonsense again in the future.
Lin Luoling helped her up and said, "I know you are doing this for my own good, but even though I have received the imperial decree from His Majesty, I have not yet held my wedding ceremony with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the capital.
Even if these beauties were chosen by His Majesty for His Royal Highness, I have no right to ask, and His Royal Highness cannot refute. Since it is something that cannot be refused, why bother to think about it and make yourself uncomfortable? "
Although Lin Luoling said this, she could not control her heart. It would be a lie to say that she didn't care.
Therefore, she couldn't fall asleep at night lying in the arms of Crown Prince Qin Yan.
Qin Yan pursed his lips and smiled secretly, lowered his eyes and asked her: "My beloved concubine, is there anything on your mind? Why not tell me, maybe I can help you solve your doubts."
Thinking that Qin Yan would have to attend court early tomorrow, Lin Luoling raised her finger and pressed it on Qin Yan's lips, saying, "It's getting late tonight, go to bed early."
Qin Yan's eyes darkened, and he pinched Lin Luoling's chin and asked seriously, "You promised me that you would not hide anything from me. Don't change the subject. You couldn't sleep today. What's on your mind that you didn't tell your husband?"
Lin Luoling knew that Qin Yan was a meticulous person. Even if she didn't say it, Qin Yan would guess it. So she kissed Qin Yan's chin and said with a smile:
"Today I heard that my father had issued an imperial decree, saying that each prefecture should send the selected beauties to the capital, and that the Internal Affairs Bureau should register the unmarried daughters of officials above the third rank in the capital. I couldn't guess what my father meant, so I couldn't enter my dream for a long time."
Lin Luoling's kiss made Qin Yan's blood rush to every part of his body. He turned over and pressed Lin Luoling under him.
Their lips touched and their tongues entangled for a long time, until Lin Luoling's breath became unstable and her lips were kissed by Qin Yan until they were bright red and shiny. Qin Yan then slightly tilted his head and gently bit Lin Luoling's earlobe, and said with an unstable breath:
"Why? Are you afraid that other women will share me with you?"
I don’t know if it was because of Qin Yan’s light bite, or because of the feeling from the bottom of Lin Luoling’s heart, but that light “hmm” sound seductively aroused Qin Yan’s heart.
So much so that that night, Qin Yan called for water four times. Lin Luoling felt sore and weak all over, and kept asking Qin Yan to let her go several times. Only then did Qin Yan hold her in his arms and take a nap for an hour before going to the morning court.
When Lin Luoling woke up, she looked at the kiss marks all over her body, shyly took the bellyband and put it on, and recalled the time when Qin Yan made love with her last night, saying to her over and over again:
"The promise I made to you will never change in this life."
Lin Luoling didn't know whether she should believe such a promise. After getting dressed, she called Hualian and Xiangjin to help her wash up and continued to prepare gifts for Princess July.
Soon it was the day of Princess July and Jiang Chi's engagement. Although the gifts Lin Luoling gave them were not expensive, each one was carefully prepared by her personally, and Princess July and Jiang Chi liked them very much.
Emperor Deshun scheduled their wedding for the end of spring of the following year.
The Queen Mother said to Concubine Jin: "I will take care of Yu'er's wedding. As for the affairs of the harem, I will let you handle some trivial matters. After all, I am old, and you are a smart and steady person. It's time to let you take care of the affairs of the harem."
Concubine Jin was so shocked that she was stunned. Emperor Deshun smiled and called her twice. Concubine Jin came back to her senses and stood up to pay her respects to the empress dowager, saying, "It is my honor to be valued by your mother."
The Queen Mother said, "Looking at the dark circles under your eyes, I think you didn't sleep well these days. Your Majesty will discuss with me and promote you to a higher rank. On a good day, you will be canonized as Imperial Noble Consort Jinrong.
Right now the northern and southern borders are not at peace, and the three states have suffered from floods. If we enthrone a queen, we must hold a grand ceremony, which will cost a lot of money and labor and may arouse public resentment.
Therefore, His Majesty does not intend to appoint another queen. In the future, your status and position in the harem will be unmatched by others. While I am still able to take care of the harem and the concubines have not yet entered the capital, the most urgent thing is that you must listen to the imperial physician and take good care of your body so that you can give birth to a prince for His Majesty one day, and teach him carefully so that he can assist the prince. This is the right way."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Jin was flattered and kowtowed to the empress dowager repeatedly to express her gratitude.
Lin Luoling also understood one thing from the empress dowager's words. This time the selection was not for the empress dowager and Emperor Deshun to choose for Crown Prince Qin Yan, but for Emperor Deshun to select girls to enter the palace as concubines.
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Stand up. Why would I thank you? If His Majesty hadn't doted on you, even if I had talked my mouth off, if he didn't agree, what else could I do?
Although you and His Majesty are not married, I sincerely hope that you two can have this kind of friendship, so that you will not feel lonely. "
This was said in a tactful way. Lin Luoling's drooped eyes moved slightly. She understood the good intentions of Emperor Deshun towards Crown Prince Qin Yan.
The preference that Emperor Deshun showed to Crown Prince Qin Yan was probably because he placed all his emotions for Concubine Li on Crown Prince Qin Yan. No one in the world could compare to him.
After Prince Rui and Nan Qiuzhi rebelled, Prince Jin and Concubine Chen's followers were eliminated. Now there are still vacancies for officials from the previous dynasty. In order to appease the hearts of officials from the previous dynasty, Emperor Deshun must have talked to Qin Yan privately, wanting Qin Yan to marry the daughter of a high-ranking official in the capital as his concubine.
Perhaps Qin Yan declined politely, and Emperor Deshun had no choice but to change his way of doing things. He married all the unmarried daughters of high-ranking officials above the third rank in the capital into the palace as concubines, and made Concubine Jin the most respected. If there were only those legitimate daughters in the harem, they would inevitably be divided into new factions according to their mother's clan.
Therefore, Emperor Deshun ordered all prefectures to send the beautiful girls they had selected previously to the capital to enter the palace as concubines.
As a result, there are only two factions: the legitimate daughters of the capital, and the selected daughters who entered the palace without any background.
This way it would be easier to control the situation in the harem, which was connected to the previous dynasty. In order to make their daughters favored by His Majesty, those ministers must be loyal to Emperor Deshun.
Given the shrewdness of Emperor Deshun, even if he favored the daughters of high-ranking officials in the capital, he would not let them conceive a prince, but would let Concubine Jin conceive a prince.
Because Concubine Jin's father had been a first-rank military commander for many years and was already old, he would have to step down in three to five years to enjoy his retirement. Concubine Jin's two elder brothers were good at fighting and were rare generals. They had previously been military commanders loyal to Emperor Deshun.
Therefore, his two sons were suppressed by King Rui and King Jin and were very frustrated.
For the sake of family honor and his daughter's status as the most respected in the harem, Concubine Jin's father would have worked very hard to manage the military affairs of the previous dynasty, so that Emperor Deshun would value his daughter and give his two sons good opportunities and careers.
Emperor Deshun could also take advantage of this and appoint Concubine Jin's two brothers to fight in the northern or southern borders.
Even if Concubine Jin gave birth to a prince, a baby would not pose a threat to Crown Prince Qin Yan.
After three or five years, the Grand Marshal resigned, and the one Concubine Jin could rely on was not Emperor Deshun, but Crown Prince Qin Yan.
This was the reason why the Queen Mother advised Concubine Jin to give birth to a prince and educate him carefully so that he could assist Crown Prince Qin Yan in the future.
Lin Luoling's eyes suddenly flickered. She felt that the Empress Dowager and Emperor Deshun's plot was more than just this. There was also...
