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

The eldest princess opened her mouth and said, "I think Shen Qingran, the eldest daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, is a woman of great virtue and kindness, and is worthy of being the Crown Princess."

Hearing this, Lin Xi's face changed instantly. She knew that this time Shen Qingran was specifically mentioned.

Although she had known that the prince had feelings for Qingran, she had never thought that one day the prince would be able to convince the eldest princess to help him with this matter. Now Qingran had no choice but to marry the prince.

When His Majesty heard what the eldest princess said, his expression changed, but he did not show it in front of others.

Everyone was secretly observing His Majesty's expression, trying to figure out something from his every move.

Shen Qingran and the Crown Prince, who were supposed to be the protagonists, did not act like protagonists. They knelt behind the Princess. The Crown Prince took the initiative to break the deadlock, "Father, Miss Shen has a kind heart. Naturally, I am not worthy of her. But now that my aunt is talking about this in public, it will embarrass Miss Shen."

After hearing this, His Majesty came down the steps given by the Crown Prince. He looked at the Crown Prince with deep eyes. He smiled but did not speak. Instead, he said to the Princess: "Sister, why didn't you discuss this matter with me first?"

The princess also smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I just saw them as a perfect match. I didn't discuss this with Your Majesty. It's my fault."

The eldest princess said so, and the group of ministers who had just agreed with her also followed suit and said that it was all their fault.

Lin Xi looked at Chen Xun with some confusion. Could it be that he knew from the beginning that this would not succeed?

Although she had doubts, there were some things she couldn't ask. Under the current circumstances, she could only wait until later.

A ray of setting sun shone on Lin Xi's body, and she smiled. Her lips were red and her teeth were white, and the sunlight shining on her face made her look more beautiful than anyone else.

Lin Xi looked at him blankly. She didn't expect that Chen Xun's gaze had never left her. Princess Wang Ling, who had been observing Chen Xun, also noticed Chen Xun's gaze.

Of course, she had never thought that someone as cold as an ice cube would actually have feelings for someone else. She was not convinced in her heart, but she didn't expect Ruan Liuying to come to her while everyone was toasting.

"Princess, do Lin Xi and the others look hateful?" Ruan Liuying said to her with a smile.

Princess Wang Ling looked at the person in front of her who looked very similar to Concubine Ruan, and she felt disgusted. She didn't want to have anything to do with her. She looked at the wine glass she handed over, pushed it away, and said, "There are some things I don't want to say, but don't think I know nothing. Under the current circumstances, everyone knows what you are thinking."

"If the Crown Princess is not Miss Shen, it will not be you." Princess Wang Ling had already seen the little thoughts in her heart on the first day in Kyoto.

The position of Crown Princess means that she may become the most honorable person in the future, but she disdains and does not care.

Therefore, Wang Ling understood why they were eager to pursue this position, but he did not want to join them.

The bonfire was lit, and everyone was wearing Chinese costumes. The young people began to dance around the bonfire. When no one noticed, the sparks were blown into the haystack by the wind.

Lin Xi was originally far away from the haystack, but in the crowd, he had squeezed to the very edge.

"Fire, it's on fire."

With a scream, the scene suddenly became chaotic and no one knew who was pushed.

The eunuchs around His Majesty supported His Majesty, and Lin Xi and the others were pushed over. Amid the pushing and shoving crowd, no one knew when they would be seen again.

Now, everyone is waiting to see what happens next.

"No, be careful! Lin Xi." The crowd was so crowded that Shen Qingran and Lin Xi were separated in the crowd. She watched Lin Xi getting closer and closer to the fire.

"Lin Xi!"

Her voice was inconspicuous in the crowd, and no one noticed that Lin Xi was getting closer and closer to the fire.

Shen Qingran was very worried, but was squeezed so hard that he couldn't move.

When Lin Xi turned around, she realized that the campfire was very close to her. There was a group of people crowded in front of her, so she could only walk to the side. Unexpectedly, a pair of hands stretched out from somewhere and pushed her on the back. She lost her balance and almost fell into the campfire.

Fortunately, Chen Xun appeared beside her at some point and pulled her, but his arm was burned by the suddenly growing flames.

She was anxious, so she grabbed his arm and asked, "How are you?"

"No problem." Chen Xun's expression was calm, and he didn't even look at his wound. He glanced at her and said, "Madam, yes, the general will be back today."

The maids Chunhua and Qiushi, who were taking a nap, heard Lin Xi's voice and stood up quickly with smiles on their faces. The madam must have missed the general so much!

I have only asked this question over and over again in the past few days.

She opened her eyes, and the white light from the window reflected the girl's extremely dark eyes. She whispered, "Call for water."

Chunhua went outside to fetch water, leaving Qiushi alone to serve her.

Qiu Shi walked to her side, stretched out his hand to help her up, walked to the mirror, and saw the girl in the mirror was slightly dazed, her black hair fluttering like clouds and cascading down her back, her snow-white skin was like jade stained with snow, like a vivid painting of a beauty.

Her beauty is leisurely and not gaudy, which makes it even more pleasing.

Qiushi came back to his senses, picked up the comb and combed Lin Xi's hair, saying, "Madam, the madam said that when the general comes back, he should be the first to come and see you. The madam is so good to you!"

Lin Xi glanced at her calmly, then looked at the mother-of-pearl makeup box on the table, her eyes slightly deep, "I have a gold-threaded kingfisher hairpin?"

Qiushi's hands trembled, and she was panicked. She knew she had said something wrong: "Madam, I know I was wrong!"

She was the lady's maid, so naturally she had to side with the lady.

But she was more afraid that her lady would find out about it.

Lin Xi opened the drawer and looked at the empty drawer with cold eyes. He only said, "Let Chunhua come in and serve. You go to the Madam and see if she is awake."

It turns out that I had been thinking about these things around her for a long time.

Qiushi said yes, turned around and walked out, and as soon as he left, he let Chunhua in.

As soon as Chunhua came in, she noticed something was wrong. Seeing the empty makeup box, she frowned and asked, "Madam, your dowry is missing from the box?"

Lin Xi did not answer, but asked her to help her wash and comb her hair, "The hairpin will not run away by itself. I am afraid there is a thief in my yard."

Seeing Lin Xi's expression, Chunhua didn't dare to say a word, but just said lightly: "Madam, I have secretly found out that Sister Qiushi has a seriously ill old mother and a gambling brother at home, and the whole family depends on her monthly salary to survive."

She paused, frowned, and continued, "I heard from the maid in the outer courtyard that Sister Qiuhua often goes out in the middle of the night to see her brother."

Lin Xi tapped the makeup table lightly with her fingers, the corners of her lips raised, it will be soon.

In her previous life, she had found out that Qiushi was stealing, but her mother-in-law told her off in a few words. This time, Qiushi had to be removed as a spy.

Lin Xi walked towards the front hall on the snow that had accumulated overnight. Just as he reached the door of the front hall, he heard the old lady's voice coming from the tightly closed front door.

"She is such a good daughter-in-law, but she didn't come to pay respects for a few days. When I was a daughter-in-law, there was no such rule. Don't think that she is so great just because she is the daughter of Master Jiang. Now that His Majesty is not happy with the Crown Prince, everyone can see it. How can she still be so proud and arrogant?"

"Don't cry, wife. Wait a minute, let me, an old woman, set some rules for her."

The remaining snow covered the scattered tiled roofs of the houses, and the melted snow flowed down the tiles, forming icicles under the eaves.

She stood quietly for a long time, her eyes fixed on the closed door. The snow that had fallen on her shoulders and hair melted, leaving tiny wet marks on her body.

No wonder the old lady had always disliked her. She originally thought that she was unpopular, or that the old lady followed a military general and disliked literati.

Unexpectedly, there was also her aunt Jun who was helping to apply eye drops.

"Humph, my sister-in-law has no respect for mother. Grandmother, you must not let her go. What's more, she has been married to my brother for three years and has no children."

When it comes to offspring, the old lady inside is even more displeased, and the words she says are even more hurtful.

Lin Xi lowered her head and looked at the wet spot on the tip of her shoe. This whole family treated her as an outsider.

Chunhua, who was standing behind her, was looking at the dwarf pine potted plant on the steps, but was actually listening to the conversation inside the house. She felt sorry for the lady. The general went to the battlefield on the day of his wedding and didn't even enter the bridal chamber. How could he have a child?

What's more, it is even more unfair to say that the lady is disrespectful to the aunt.

What Old Lady Chen had just said was instantly revealed by the people below. The Chen residence had just received news that the Chen family was going to produce a general, so everyone was naturally delighted.

Lin Xi walked into the house, and the hot air hit her face, causing her nose to ache. She frowned slightly, looked up at the old lady sitting in the middle of the hall, and bowed to her first: "Granddaughter-in-law, meet the old lady, meet Aunt Jun."

Old Mrs. Chen sat on a chair, her hair combed meticulously, her eyebrows full of anger, looking at Lin Xi with dissatisfaction: "You are so late."

The eldest lady sitting next to Old Lady Chen hurriedly comforted her, "Aunt Jun, I still trust Yan'er's character. She's not feeling well, and the roads are slippery in the snow, so it's okay to come a little later."

Old Madam Chen glanced at her, then turned to look at Lin Xi and continued to accuse her: "As a daughter-in-law, don't take advantage of your aunt Jun's soft face and kind heart and easy to talk to. I can't tolerate scum in my eyes. Stand up and talk!"

"Yan'er, are you feeling better?" The eldest wife looked at her with a sincere expression on her face, which made people feel that there was a look of compassion between her eyebrows.

This girl, Jun, is truly a talented singer.

"To reply to Aunt Jun, I'm feeling better. I heard the sound of firecrackers when I got up early, so I sent someone to light some incense oil for the general." Lin Xi raised the corners of his lips with a timely smile, his eyes steady, and sat in the lowest position where the nanny had placed him.

Since they were planning for a divorce, they naturally wanted to make some mistakes in the Chen Mansion. Their eyes fell on Chen Yushu who was sitting next to Old Madam Chen. The silk she was wearing and the hairpins on her temples were very dazzling.

Hit the snake seven inches.

Since everyone in the Chen Mansion cares about their reputation, she will expose all the dirty things in the Chen Mansion.

"Madam, Aunt Jun, I am at fault." Lin Xi lowered his lips, his expression becoming serious, "While I was managing the household chores, a thief actually appeared in my own yard."

Old Mrs. Chen thought Lin Xi was trying to stir up some trouble, and she looked displeased and frowned.

Lin Xi has been married for three years. She has a noble character and will not cause any trouble. Even if she suffers a loss, she will swallow it.

But when she met Lin Xi's sullen gaze, the eldest wife's eyelids couldn't help but twitch.

The room was unusually quiet and no one spoke.

But suddenly the messenger came stumbling in, and the heavy snow rolled in with him, blowing the man's face with a chill that penetrated his bones. He stammered, "General Xiao Chen is dead."

"What!" The eldest wife stood up and fainted.

The hall was in chaos. The servant continued crying, "The general's body is gone."

Hearing this, the old lady also fainted.

Only Lin Xi was surprised for a while, frowning slightly. Before they could get divorced, he died first?

Isn't this different from what happened in the previous life?

What about Guan Ronger?

"There is a woman with a child outside, saying... saying..." The servant looked at Lin Xi and didn't say anything.

Chen Yushu, the only one still awake, shouted, "What did you say?"

The servant lowered his head, wishing he could dig a hole and bury himself in it: "They say it's the general's flesh and blood."

come out.

Back then, she had devoted all her energy to the Chen Mansion. She could not see many things clearly, but she did not care about them at all. Now she understood them all at once.

"Chunhua, have you finished writing the missing dowry list?" Lin Xi raised his head and smiled faintly.

Chunhua finished copying three pages of paper and couldn't help feeling surprised. The lady had never liked these things since she was a child. She had been with the lady for a long time and didn't care much about them, but she was so disappointed that she missed three whole pages.

She was horrified as she copied. What kind of family was this Chen family? They actually used their daughter-in-law's dowry. If this got out in Bian Jing, everyone would laugh their heads off.

"I have copied it, Madam." Chunhua looked back at Madam, holding the dry paper over. Looking at Madam's appearance, he could not help but say, "Madam, you look much better today."

Since the first wife had lost her son, how could the second and third wives of the Chen family not want to fight for the position of head of the family? After all, the whole family had gathered their strength to support the first wife.

Who wouldn’t be tempted by such a good thing?

Before her death, only Chen Liansheng, the illegitimate son of the third wife, whom she had never taken seriously, helped her pass messages home and secretly helped her.

This time, let her help him too.

"Chunhua, take the list and give it to Nanny Chen, take the Chen Mansion's seal for managing the household affairs and the account book from the box in the inner room and send them to the first wife, saying that I am not feeling well and am no longer suitable for doing these things. Thank you for your concern."

Chunhua blinked, as if she understood Lin Xi's words. "How dare she!" Madam Chen slammed her hand on the table, glanced at Chunhua who came to deliver something, and then put on a loving face: "How is your wife now?"

Chunhua didn't expect the Madam to change so quickly. After she reacted, she replied, "Madam, you just woke up after hearing the bad news. I'm afraid that you'll delay your stay at home, so I sent a servant to bring it to you. Please bear with me, Madam."

Chen looked coldly at the seal and account book on the table in front of her, understood what was going on, and waved her hand impatiently to let her go.
