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

The mistress of the Lin Mansion stole the dowry of the previous mistress and bought the jewelry store through the hands of the Ninth Prince. In order to protect the child who owed gambling debts, the mistress of the Lin Mansion actually threw all the dirty water on the orphan of the second house.

The impact of this incident far outweighed other rumors.

Naturally, this news could not be heard by everyone, so a young eunuch went to Fengzao Palace where Concubine Ruan was to report it early.

Concubine Ruan has been the only favorite since she entered the palace, especially after giving birth to the ninth prince. Her power is almost equal to that of the queen, and she has become more and more arrogant and domineering, and never takes the queen seriously.

His ambition grew day by day, and he was harsh towards the Ninth Prince.

This month, Concubine Ruan is the only one favored.

In the early morning, after His Majesty left Fengzao Palace, Concubine Ruan was wearing an undergarment and a translucent gauze, revealing her alluring, crystal-clear skin. She lay on the chaise longue with her hands casually resting on the armrests.

Two palace maids knelt on both sides of her, wrapping her nails with pounded alum and marigolds.

"What happened today?" Concubine Ruan raised her eyes lazily and tilted her head slightly.

Madam Li, the head nanny of Fengzao Palace, held the Yurong powder in her hand and walked gracefully behind Concubine Ruan. She gently picked out a little with a golden key and applied it to her face, then replied softly, "Originally, there is nothing wrong, but there is something I have to report."

After saying that, she leaned close to Concubine Ruan's ear and whispered a few words.

Concubine Ruan's eyes narrowed, her expression filled with anger, and she sat up from the chaise longue: "What?"

Nanny Li dismissed the surrounding maids and quickly comforted them, saying, "This matter is also the fault of that ignorant girl from the Lin family. She dared to secretly seduce the Ninth Prince. The Ninth Prince was also deceived."

Concubine Ruan looked tired, waved her hand and said, "You know the temper of Old Nine. You said Chen Xun was here this time too. Did he get anything that could harm Old Nine?"

"We don't know that, but I feel that the situation has not reached the worst yet. After all, Lord Chen does not seem to want to expose the Ninth Prince, so this is good news." Nanny Li continued.

“Moreover, I feel that this incident is not entirely the fault of the Ninth Prince. The woman’s mother even openly said in the court that she will be the mother of the future prince’s consort…” Nanny Li said hesitantly.

Concubine Ruan tightly grasped the armrest beside her and narrowed her eyes. "Go on, what else did she say?"

"My Lady Imperial Concubine, if this matter gets too far-reaching, it will really have an impact on the Ninth Prince. The Ninth Prince's shop has also been sealed by Lord Chen. As for what those people said, it is no longer important."

Concubine Ruan closed her eyes, her face full of anger, "Good, good, really good! A good girl taught by the Lin family."

Nanny Li gently massaged her shoulders and said softly, "Your Majesty, don't get angry over such a small matter. Those goblins and monsters can be easily dealt with. It's that side that is difficult to deal with."

"Tell Old Nine not to go out anymore." Concubine Ruan clenched her hands and said, "I actually involved the emperor in those dirty things. If I don't do something, I will never be able to get rid of the hatred in my heart."

Seeing this, Nanny Li smiled and said, "Isn't this difficult? Your Majesty, it's up to me."

······

Everyone knows that Lin Zhaoyu owes gambling debts, and he has no future.

As soon as Lin Hewen returned to the Lin Mansion, he called back Lin Zhaoyu who was still playing outside the mansion. Seeing his ignorant look, he slapped him hard in the face and said, "You really brought shame to the Lin Mansion."

He connected the cause and effect and finally understood that if it weren't for this brat who owed gambling debts, Xu would not have taken the risk of embezzling Lin Xi's mother's dowry.

Now that the matter has been exposed in public, I'm afraid the connection with the Ninth Prince has been severed.

"Father, what's wrong with me?" Lin Zhaoyu covered his face and cried softly. He had been listening to his mother these days and had not done anything rash.

"You still have the nerve to say that." Lin Hewen held his forehead with his hand and looked at Lin Zhaoyu with disappointment: "Do you know that you are no longer qualified to take the imperial examination?"

Lin Zhaoyu was shocked: "What? Why?"

Seeing that he was still like this, Lin Hewen vented all his anger on Lin Zhaoyu. How could he be so stupid to leave a receipt? Now he can't throw dirty water on Lin Min, not to mention that Chen Xun would be the invigilator for the next few years.

After such an incident, his path to the imperial examination would probably be completely over.

After Lin Hewen scolded him coldly, he was displeased with everyone. How could he be so unlucky and unhappy at all? "Okay, let's talk about the future later. The most important thing now is your sister."

Changbo came running in, "It's bad, Master, it's bad."

Lin Hewen's heart skipped a beat, and he stood up, his face pale: "What else could be wrong?"

Chang Bo quickly said, "Someone came from the palace and said that Concubine Ruan gave a reward to the second young lady."

Hearing this, Lin Hewen breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest, and said, "Let the second young lady pick it up over there!"

It seems that Concubine Ruan did not vent her anger on the Second Prince because of this. Fortunately, the connection with the Ninth Prince can still be used.

Chang Bo lowered his head and said, "The reward was a bronze mirror. The imperial concubine also sent someone to tell the second young lady to look in the mirror more often."

See if she deserves it.

This is what Concubine Ruan meant.

But this was a reward from the royal family, and the Lin family dared not refuse it.

It was also because of Concubine Ruan’s reward that Lin Yuanyue became a laughing stock in Kyoto.

Lin Yuanyue originally thought that the Ninth Prince had already convinced Concubine Ruan, which was why she was given this reward. She dressed up very beautifully and went to the door to receive the reward.

But the maid from the palace ridiculed her and said that she was ambitious and wanted to climb up to the ninth prince's high branch, which was a dream. When she left, she pointed at the mirror and said, "Miss Lin, please look in the mirror more often."

Lin Yuanyue's face turned pale, and when she stood up, her body was shaky. She was likely to fall down with just a slight push.

Looking at the people pointing and talking outside the door, she thought she was feeling proud, but unexpectedly she made a big joke.

Tears suddenly welled up in her eyes and she quickly ordered someone to close the door. She ran straight back to her room and refused to see anyone.

Lin Yuanyue couldn't figure it out. According to the arrangement of the holy monk, this matter should not go wrong. Why is the ending now completely different from what the holy monk said?

All these changes seemed to come from Lin Xi.

She curled up on the bed, tears in her eyes, facing Lin Xi.

All the humiliation she suffered now was because of Lin Xi, it was all because of her.

There was a knock at the door, and Xu's ecstatic voice came:

"Yue'er, open the door, I'm your mother, please let me in."
