After my rebirth, I was the most favored person in Beijing

"Madam Wen, what do you want now? For the sake of your child, you can go against me? But I have never been a match for you and your child, right?"

"You want something from me, but are you still alive to get it?"

Hearing Lin Xi say this, Madam Wen began to worry and fear. She knew that she certainly did not have the ability to do so, but under the current circumstances, she could only wait until the future.

"Miss, I did have such a thought in my mind, but I don't dare now, I really don't dare." Madam Wen begged for mercy quickly. She knew Lin Xi's methods. If she couldn't get Lin Xi to forgive her now, there would be no way out in the future.

Lin Xi knew that people's hearts were uncontrollable, so when it came to Madam Wen, she always had to hold in her hand a presence that could scare her, so that she would be truly wary.

"Since my aunt has said so, what else can I say?" Having said this, he no longer spoke. However, under the current circumstances, it was impossible for him to stay calm and get along with her.

"Go away. I won't take the initiative to harm you, and don't even think about my things."

Lin Xi's voice was very light, and there was almost no emotion in it. She had known her father's thoughts for a long time, so how could she not know about it? Under the current circumstances, she could only find ways to keep going.

"Chunhua, send Auntie out."

As soon as the voice fell, Chunhua walked out, stretched out her hand, and greeted Madam Wen to go out, "Madam Wen, please!"

The King of Yan did his best to host the banquet to welcome the envoys from Dayue.

Chen Xun was sitting next to Prince Yan's seat, but he saw a familiar-looking person. However, he couldn't remember who that person was for a moment. He just saw that Prince Yan treated him very well.

After the King of Yan and the envoy finished their drinks, they staggered to Chen Xun, looked at him with a smile, and said jokingly, "I heard that Lord Chen is going to get married. This is a good thing. Why does Lord Chen look unhappy?"

Hearing this, Chen Xun met the King of Yan's gaze, smiled, and said, "Your Majesty, how can you tell that I am unhappy?"

The King of Yan laughed, picked up the wine pot on the table, poured wine into his cup, and said with a smile: "I just saw you sitting alone, feeling depressed, and thought you were unhappy because you were granted a marriage."

As he spoke, the King of Yan raised his cup and

Lin Xiu was completely stunned, looking at Mei Yuanxi in surprise, and asked with trembling lips: "Mei Yuanxi, do you know what you are saying?"

"How could I not know? Mother, do you know? I have liked Lin Xi since I was in Yecheng. How could she marry someone else? She can only marry me, only me." Mei Yuanxi fell to the ground, not caring whether there were porcelain pieces on the ground or not, and looked at the ground with red eyes.

Lin Xiu had never thought that her son would have such thoughts, but as a mother, she did not notice such thoughts at all. She was a little angry in her heart, but when she saw Mei Yuanxi's appearance, she only felt heartache.

They are both orphans and their mother has been away from the Mei family for so many years in order to give him a better life, but now, he is suffering so much.

Lin Xiu hated Lin Xi and Lin Xi's mother from the bottom of her heart. Although she had not experienced what happened personally, she felt that her mother was a jinx.

Unexpectedly, the daughter she gave birth to could be such a jinx and actually seduced her son?

Lin Xiu knelt on the ground, pulled open his hand, and saw the blood on it. He was relieved that his hand was not broken. After all, after the Autumn Hunt, it would be the Autumn Examination. There was not much time left. If he injured his hand at this time, it would really not be worth it at all.

"Yuanxi, listen to me, your mother. Linxi's marriage to the Chen family is an arranged marriage. If it weren't for other reasons, I could still help you find a solution, but this arranged marriage concerns the lives of both families. I can't let you act impulsively. Do you understand?"

Mei Yuanxi never thought that Lin Xi would not be his wife in the future. In his heart, he always liked Lin Xi.

During the years in Yecheng, he thought that after he passed the imperial examination, he would ask his mother to ask his uncle to propose marriage. Lin Xi was not valued in the Lin family, so it would be much easier to marry her than to marry Lin Yuanyue.

Originally, Lin Xi already trusted him very much, but he didn't know what he had done wrong. Since returning from Yecheng, Lin Xi had gradually become distant from him and even closer to Lin Min.

He was jealous but helpless. He could only think, it doesn't matter, I'll just have to wait until I pass the exam.

Unexpectedly, I received an imperial edict.

"Mom, I want to go out and find someone."

Mei Yuanxi knew that he alone could not completely deal with Chen Xun. Chen Xun was now a minister in the court, and he was just an officer in white.

He now has to think of a way. As long as he can defeat Chen Xundou, Lin Xi will be his in the future.

Seeing that Mei Yuanxi was no longer as calm as before, Lin Xiu was very worried, but she didn't dare to say it out loud. Under the current circumstances, she didn't dare to say anything that would irritate Mei Yuanxi.

Mei Yuanxi was in a dilemma. Suddenly, he stood up, looked at himself in a mess, sneered, and said, "Mother, I just went out to meet someone and came back after meeting him."

Mei Yuanxi's eyes became calm, as if he was not the one who went crazy in the house just now. He had already decided what he was going to do.

He got up, changed into a clean set of clothes, tied his hair again, and carefully bandaged the wound on his body that had just been pierced by the porcelain bottle. After doing all this, he stood up and turned his head, looking at his worried mother, and said in a gentle voice: "Mother, I'm fine now, and now it's time for me to go out and do something."

Mei Yuanxi walked out of the mansion step by step. Now he had made a decision in his heart.

······

The Queen had never thought that His Majesty would suddenly grant Lin Xi a marriage. After the banquet, she ordered someone to call her over. Seeing Changsun Changhua beside her, she said in a cold voice, "Do you think it's me who won't let you marry the Crown Prince?"

She stood up slowly, her elegant and graceful appearance could not hide her fatigue, and she raised a sneer on her face and continued, "Today, you have also seen that the prince's marriage is not up to us. His Majesty does not want the prince to become powerful, so he naturally controls his marriage."

"How could I not know that my son wanted to marry the girl from the Shen family? If the girl from the Shen family really became the Crown Princess, she would have status and position, including the Crown Prince's favor. What can you use to compete with her?"

"The status of the Changsun family? That's really ridiculous. Almost no one in the Changsun family is now an official in the court. Changhua has never relied on women to revitalize the family. It's a pity that your father doesn't understand, and you don't understand either."

Changsun Changhua stood there in a daze, unable to say anything. After all, she thought at first that the Queen didn't want her to marry the Prince, only because the Queen wanted the Prince to marry a woman with a more noble status.

Today's events had indeed made her see that His Majesty would never give up the right to decide the Crown Prince's marriage.

She wanted to marry the prince, but it would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Since Your Majesty made up his mind to deal with the Changsun family and only left some people behind, it is even more impossible for him to allow the Changsun family to become the concubine of the current crown prince.

Her path is probably broken.

Seeing her thoughtful look, the queen knew that she had finally listened to what she said today.

They all contributed to the development of many things into what they are now, but now that Changsun Changhua can think clearly, she must feel much better. Under the current circumstances, some things can only be discussed after they are finished.

"How could I not understand that you are resentful in your heart? But since you are from the Changsun family, you should know that the Changsun surname has a meaning behind it that you don't know. Now you don't have to marry the prince, you can marry someone else."

Mammy's voice came from outside the door.

"My lady, Miss Lin is here."

The queen immediately changed her expression. She straightened up and looked towards the door. Seeing Lin Xi walking in, she smiled and said, "Lin Xi, you look so much like your mother."

Hearing her say this, Lin Xi immediately understood what she meant, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty and my mother were playmates in the past, so naturally you think I am like your mother when you see me. It is because Your Majesty loves me, but I am not worthy of Your Majesty's love."

As she spoke, Lin Xi knelt in front of the Queen in front of everyone present and said, "Your Majesty, it is my fault that I was given this arranged marriage today. If I had been more careful, this arranged marriage would not have happened."

"You are good-looking and have a good temper, so why don't you deserve my love? Moreover, this is a marriage destined by heaven, so how can it be wrong?" As she spoke, the queen took off a phoenix hairpin from her head and said with a smile, "This phoenix hairpin was given to me by His Majesty when I married into the palace. This time, it is to make up for you."

Putting on makeup is something that only the elders of the woman can do. Lin Xi couldn't tell whether the queen in front of her was sincere or just trying to win over Chen Xun. But Chen Xun was on the side of the prince!

It was impossible for Lin Xi to refuse directly in this situation, so she could only decline politely, saying, "Your Majesty, this is too expensive. Lin Xi dare not accept it. I really dare not accept it."

If such an item were really accepted, it would probably cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.

"My lady, Master Chen is here."

As soon as these words came out, everyone started to tease Lin Xi, and even the Queen started to speak up, saying, "This Lord Chen rarely comes to my place, and this time he came just for you, Lin Xi."

The expression in the queen's eyes changed, but no one noticed.

Lin Xi stood in the distance and did not make any movement, but in her heart, she knew clearly that Chen Xun had indeed come for her.

Chen Xun stood beside Lin Xi, followed her figure, and knelt in the same place, neither too far nor too far, just enough for her to lean on his shoulder.

Lin Xi glimpsed his tall figure out of the corner of her eye, feeling a little bewildered.

Others say that he is not sincere, but he is doing this now, for his own sake, why?

When she thought of this, her heart became very confused.

"Your Majesty, Miss Lin is shy and it is not easy for her to accept such a valuable item from you. It would be better for me to take the initiative and accept it."

The queen smiled when she heard this, "You, you, are afraid that I will bully you, my wife who has not yet married me."

As she spoke, she waved her hand and asked the nanny to pass the phoenix hairpin to Chen Xun, who then passed it to Lin Xi.

After the Queen finished her meeting, Chen Xun took her out.

"I don't think you can be a lady-in-waiting in the palace." Chen Xun said.

Lin Xi nodded. She had been prepared for this and could naturally accept it.

But Chen Xun was a little worried, so he said, "If you don't want to, I can also think of a way."

Lin Xi shook her head. "I can't do what I want to do in this palace. I might as well just leave."

Many people were vying for the position of female official. Chen Xun had originally had a trace of worry in his heart, but now, looking at Lin Xi's appearance, he immediately felt relieved.

"Then you go back and rest first. I will take care of the marriage matters."

After saying this, he left.

He also had to deal with the matter of receiving the envoys. After all, he had not expected that the King of Yan would go behind his back and suggest that he also learn from the envoys.

They talked a lot here, but some things, once spread out, will always make others think deeply.

It was also because of this that the Queen had to release Lin Xi from the palace and wait for her to get married.

The autumn examination is over.

The affairs of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion have still not been resolved.

When Lin Xi returned to the mansion from the palace, the empress specially appointed her with Liuyun as a personal maid, which was also regarded as the empress's favor and reward.

Seeing this, Lin Hewen naturally didn't dare to neglect Lin Xi anymore. However, ever since he had his youngest son, he had been thinking about Lin Xi's dowry. Now that he saw that she had really made up her mind to marry Chen Xun, he didn't dare to say it in his heart, but he had been thinking about it all the time.

Madam Wen also privately figured out his thoughts and kept trying to persuade him, but he seemed unwilling to listen. She was also worried that things would get out of hand, after all, it involved her own child.

Madam Wen was also worried, so on the second day after Lin Xi returned to the mansion, she went to ask for a meeting with Lin Xi.

Lin Xi never thought that Madam Wen would actually come to her doorstep. She ordered Liuyun and Chunhua to go downstairs and pack their belongings. She was still worried about what happened in her grandfather's family.

She had to find a chance to go back and take a look. Fortunately, His Majesty had not yet set a date for the wedding, so she could find an excuse to go back directly.

Now is an opportunity.

That's what she thought in her heart.

But Madam Wen came to see me now, and she still had some doubts in her heart.

Madam Wen saw that there was no one around, so she quickly explained her origins very clearly, saying, "Young lady, I know that my current life is all given by you, and I will never covet your finances."
