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

"If anything happens at home, don't hide it from me." Lin Xi said.

Xie Fangyan shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Grandma, I told you that since you came to the capital, you will not be allowed to go back."

Lin Xi was stunned for a moment. She actually forgot about her grandmother, who always had a grudge against her.

This seemed to all come from what their mother left behind. What on earth did their mother do to make them become so much colder towards them?

"Cousin, I am also a member of the family. I grew up in Yecheng since I was a child. You must not forget me." Lin Xi continued, lowering her head slightly.

Seeing her like this, Xie Fangyan's eyes revealed a sense of guilt. He sighed and continued, "These are what my grandmother said. You also know that my grandmother is always a man of final say, and I can't say anything more. But under the current circumstances, the only thing I can do now is to participate in the Autumn Examination."

"And you, just protect yourself well, understand?" Xie Fangyan said, placing his hands on her shoulders.

When these words came out of Xie Fangyan's mouth, Lin Xi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. After all, he had been extremely cold to her since she was a child and had never said a word of concern.

She was a little surprised that he could say such words now.

"Yeah." Lin Xi nodded and could only agree.

But she could never let go of the affairs of her grandfather's family. Under the current circumstances, she had to deal with the affairs of the Lin Mansion first.

After returning to the Lin Mansion, Lin Hewen excitedly walked around the mansion, with Madam Wen standing beside him and Xu sitting next to him. The atmosphere between the two was very good, as if they were back to the time when Madam Wen was not around.

Madam Wen, who was standing alone and isolated, did not have any angry look on her face. Instead, she was very quiet and obedient, with lowered brows and a pleasant look. When people saw her, they could not help but feel distressed.

"Father, Mother." Lin Xi bowed.

When Lin Hewen saw him, he asked first, "I heard that you received Old Lady Lan today?" He was thinking about how to start the conversation.

He didn't know when it started, but whenever he saw Lin Xi, he liked her more and more. He even felt that Lin Xi should be his daughter and could bring greater value to the Lin family.

However, such thoughts should not exist.

Thinking of this, Lin Hewen put away the intimate expression on his face, pursed his lips, and looked at Xu.

However, because of what happened during this period, Xu's face had more and more wrinkles, and the traces of time could be clearly seen on her face. Lin Hewen turned his gaze to Madam Wen without leaving a trace, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

"Mrs. Lan is very generous. My daughter needs to learn from her." Lin Xi smiled. "Besides, isn't Mrs. Lan's grandson also preparing for the Autumn Examination?"

Hearing Lin Xi's words, Xu asked, "Have you met Mrs. Lan's grandson? Why didn't your father and I know about it? Aren't you treating us as outsiders?"

"Was it arranged by the old lady?" Lin Xi had a smile on her face. "I thought the old lady would tell my father and mother about this matter. It's not a big deal. I thought there was no need to make a big fuss and cause criticism."

Hearing Lin Xi's words, Lin Hewen nodded and said, "The Lin Mansion has been criticized a lot recently. Lin Xi, you are thoughtful for thinking about the Lin Mansion."

Hearing that Lin Hewen praised Lin Xi again, Xu couldn't sit still anymore, and hatred could not be concealed in her eyes. Under the current circumstances, no one knew what would happen in the end.

"By the way, father, we have two students taking the exam now, so we should pay more attention to them." Lin Xi suggested, "After all, if two people in the Lin family can pass the exam, who would care about the joke that happened a while ago?"

What Lin Xi said was not without reason. Lin Hewen nodded, frowned, and said, "The whole family will attach great importance to the examinations of the two young masters."

Having said this, his eyes looked at Madam Wen's belly.

Lin Zhaoyu is already useless. If Madam Wen is pregnant with a boy, he will still have descendants. If not, he will think of other ways.

We can’t let the incense of the first wife be cut off in his place.

He was speechless for a moment.

At this moment, Xu suddenly spoke. She looked at Lin Xi and said word by word, "Lin Xi, do you know that Yue'er asked for a great favor for you?"

When she thought of this, she felt extremely proud. After all, her daughter was now so popular next to the Ninth Prince, and Concubine Ruan could even invite Lin Xi to the palace for a flower-viewing banquet.

"What? Lin Xi, I don't know." She said softly.

Xu continued, "The palace will hold a flower-viewing banquet the day after tomorrow. Concubine Ruan specially gave you a gift. You must remember Yue'er's contribution to this!"

Her eyes followed Lin Xi closely as she spoke, but she forgot that if Lin Yuanyue really had this ability, she would never have allowed Lin Xi to attend the banquet in the palace and save face in front of the nobles.

Lin Xi smiled at Xu and replied, "Well, Xi'er, thank Yue'er for being here. It's just that Yue'er couldn't come back, and I don't know how she is doing in the Ninth Prince's Mansion."

The Lin Mansion only regained some of its reputation after Lin Yuanyue married into the Ninth Prince's Mansion.

Xu had a smug look on her face, but she was even more proud of the fact that Lin Xi was going to marry that kind of man under the old lady's arrangement.

She will always be inferior to her own daughter in her life.

so good!

Marry someone with a homosexual tendency?

Thinking of this, Xu's unhappy heart finally became much happier.

When Lin Xi returned to his yard, he heard Chunhua say that Lan Linzhi had arrived.

"Did he come alone? Where is Mrs. Lan?" Lin Xi asked, playing with the Jianzhan that Gang had sent her.

Chunhua replied, "To answer Miss, he came here alone. He said he brought some dried bamboo shoots from his hometown and wanted to eat some with Miss."

Lin Xi paused for a moment, "This excuse is really interesting, I'm afraid this person has bad intentions!"

Chunhua didn't expect Lin Xi to say that. After thinking for a while, she asked, "Miss, I think Mr. Lan is gentle and elegant. Why does he come here with bad intentions?"

Lin Xi was not in a hurry to solve the mystery. He stood up, put the Jianzhan on the table, and said with a look in his eyes, "Since the guests are here, it would be wrong for me not to go out. But you have to report this to grandma first."

From the first time they met, she had a hunch that Old Lady Lan had ill intentions, but under the current circumstances, she was even more certain of it.

If Lan Linzhi really cared about her, he would definitely be thinking about how to pass the imperial examination and come to visit her again. But now, ever since he came to the Lin Mansion, he often found excuses to appear in front of her.

All of this seemed to be directed entirely at me.

Lin Xi paused, then said, "Wait, let's get someone to cook the dried bamboo shoots he brought, and drink it together!"

Not long after, after Lin Xi changed her clothes, the two of them sat in Old Lady Lin's courtyard which was open to the sky, thus avoiding gossip.

Lan Linzhi looked at Lin Xi, not knowing what he was thinking. His eyes darted around. He looked at the pure white soup on the table and praised, "Miss Lin, you are so thoughtful."

He cooked the grandson he had just brought and served him on the table.

"Mr. Lan, do you have anything to do today?" Lin Xi asked with a smile.

Lan Linzhi paused, then asked, "I heard that Miss Lin is going to enter the palace?"

Lin Xi nodded without any attempt to hide anything. "This was something my second sister asked for me. I have to thank her very much for letting me enter the palace and see the world."

Lan Linzhi was obviously stunned. "I heard that your second daughter is now the concubine of the Ninth Prince?"

Lin Xi nodded, "Yes, they had a deep friendship at the beginning!"

Xu also didn't know that Concubine Ruan wanted to see her only because of what Lin Yuanyue said.

When Lan Linzhi heard this, a trace of surprise flashed through his mind, and he hurriedly left.

Lin Xi sent people to follow her.

Lan Linzhi was very cautious. He would change his route after walking a certain distance. He would walk along the west street and then sit in a small shop on the east street. No one had any idea where his destination was.

After confirming again and again, he walked to a small house and knocked five times.

After a long time, a small gap appeared in the door. They talked for a few words and the man let him in.

As soon as she entered, she saw the holy monk standing inside. "Holy monk, how come there are mistakes in what you said? Miss Lin Da and Miss Lin Er don't have a bad relationship as you said!"

Lan Linzhi walked up to him with a gloomy face. This man was introduced to her by someone some time ago.

He said that if he married Lin Xi, he would have good luck in the future. He didn't want to believe these nonsense. But this man actually saved the seriously ill Old Mrs. Lan and said that he could extend the old lady's life. How could he not believe it?

It was for this reason that the old lady insisted that he come to the capital and marry Lin Xi.

He was extremely reluctant, but he could not change the old lady's mind.

In the Lan family, what Old Lady Lan said was the imperial decree for everyone and no one could disobey it.

"She doesn't like me at all now, and how could the people around her look down on someone like me who came from the countryside?" Lan Linzhi complained, and there was a hint of hatred in her eyes when she looked at the monk.

He hated anyone who could decide his life, including Lin Xi.

"She is your best choice." The holy monk's eyes were sharp, reaching into his heart, "Besides, with your current physical condition, it's impossible for you to find someone who likes you, right?"

Lan Linzhi didn't expect that his biggest secret would be known by the person in front of him. A trace of fear flashed in his eyes, "How could you? Even the old lady doesn't know, how could you know?"

The secrets of his body are known only to himself and those who have grown up with him.

The playmate knew that it was because the person he liked was him.

And he actually likes me, but it is impossible for them to be together and there is no chance for them to be together.

They are both men.

It is precisely because of this reason that the two of them have not seen each other for several years.

"I'm only here to help you. What are you afraid of?" The holy monk smiled. He spoke slowly, then slowly walked to him, took out a cup and said, "Actually, what you have to do is very simple. At the palace banquet, let her drink from this cup."

"I'll help you arrange the rest when I get back."

Lan Linzhi looked at him and said word by word, "You clearly knew that Miss Lin would never have a good life if she married me, but you still tried every means to make her marry me. Do you hate her so much? You went to such great lengths to make her life miserable?"

Such words angered the holy monk, and a crack finally appeared on his supposedly calm face. He slapped him in the face and said, "You have to do what I say. Do you understand?"

"I have plenty of ways to make the people you care about regret that they were only born into this world."

He spoke in a heavy tone, and Lan Linzhi immediately retracted her flame and lowered her head.

Lan Linzhi knew that he had such a method.

······

Only arrived at the Hundred Flowers Banquet.

This is a buffet banquet in the palace, and its purpose is to share happiness with the people, so there is no special threshold for those who can participate in this banquet.

Under the arrangement of Old Madam Lin, Lin Xi changed into a simple and elegant dress and took a carriage slowly towards the palace. Halfway through the journey, her carriage was stopped by an unfamiliar palace maid.

"Miss Lin, the road ahead is temporarily closed. Please follow me." The palace maid who spoke had a pleasant and approachable voice.

Lin Xi got off the carriage and followed the palace maid, "Isn't this the way to Fengzhao Palace?"

Shen Qingran had told her about the general layout of the palace before she came. She was most proficient in this area, so she naturally noticed something was wrong very quickly.

The maid replied naturally, "This is the arrangement of the superiors. It has nothing to do with us."

As she said this, she stopped at a street, turned around, opened the gate of a courtyard, and said, "Miss Lin, you can rest here now!"

Lin Xi wanted to know what kind of medicine was sold in Concubine Ruan’s gourd, so she walked in.

The moment she entered, the gate of the yard closed.

She was alone in the yard, and faint groans of pain came from the dilapidated house.

Lin Xi looked in the direction of the voice and saw Lin Yuanyue, who had been tortured beyond recognition.

Lin Yuanyue's eyes were full of unwillingness. She was unwilling that she had done nothing in her life and could only live in this dilapidated yard for the rest of her life.

How could she possibly accept this?

Is this how I'm going to spend my life?

However, she didn't dare to die like this.

She lived here day after day, and every day someone came to torture her. She really couldn't stand it anymore, but today, she just raised her head and saw a familiar figure.

"Lin Xi?"
