Use a substitute on your wedding night to scatter the ashes of your entire family

Li Shuangwan stood up, walked to Madam Zhao, and helped her up personally: "Madam, what are you doing? Get up quickly, the ground is cold."

Nanny Zhao refused to get up, feeling extremely resentful. “You also know that the ground is cold. When I was knocked unconscious by Chen Ping and thrown on the ground, did you ever think that the ground was cold?”

"Princess, I really know I was wrong, but I was doing it for your own good. I was just too impatient and said the wrong thing. If you don't forgive me, I won't be able to serve you anymore. You might as well find a human trafficker to sell me off."

Roman was so angry that she wanted to kick her twice. What kind of words were these? If she sold her wet nurse because of the princess, how could she keep her reputation as a princess?

Li Shuangwan sighed deeply: "You are my nanny. As you said, you are half my elder. How could I be really angry with you? I was just impatient this morning. I know you are doing this for my own good. Get up quickly."

Nanny Zhao cried with joy, and then she stood up, wiping her tears: "I knew that the princess would not be estranged from me. The affection between us for more than ten years is unmatched by anyone."

Roman rolled his eyes in his heart.

"The New Year is coming soon. Yizhu and Luoman are still young and still rely on Nanny's help with many things."

Nanny Zhao pinched her palm hard, and then forced herself to smile: "Yes, Princess, just leave the matter to me. This is your first year married into the royal family. The royal family is different from other mansions. There are many rules. I will arrange everything one by one."

As Nanny Zhao stepped out of Lexiaoyuan with the palace's playing cards in her hand, she spat a mouthful of thick phlegm onto the ground.

Bah, this bitch Li Shuangwan is really a piece of shit. She has been so humble and even took the initiative to mention her son, but she didn't even mention giving her money to redeem her son.

Shouldn't she take the initiative to give her 10,000 taels of silver at this time?

After all, she wasn't born from your own belly. What's the point of being nice to her with all your heart? You are such an ungrateful person!

Yi Zhu said worriedly, "Princess, I see that Madam Zhao has become even more unruly since she came back this time. I know it's hard to say this, but Madam Zhao is not someone you can trust, so you still have to be careful with her."

Roman raised her neck and said, "That's right, Princess. I see hatred in Aunt Zhao's eyes. You must not be fooled by her nice words. The palace token in the second young lady's hand might have been given to her by Aunt Zhao. I see that she has climbed up to the second young lady's high branch."

Yizhu's expression was also quite solemn: "Once the second young lady enters Prince Heng's mansion, we must be more cautious."

Li Shuangwan smiled faintly. Nanny Zhao wanted to get close to Li Shuangmiao, but unfortunately, the last time she went back to the General's Mansion, she saw Nanny Zhao coming out of Li Shuangmiao's yard with two clear slap marks on her face and a dead look in her eyes.

She pinched the face of this girl, and rubbed the head of that girl: "Don't worry, I know what's going on. Don't alarm the enemy."

The two maids looked at each other and nodded in unison.

In the evening, Chen Ping came back and said, "Princess, Miss Luo has been brought back and is now living in the Duke of Huguo's mansion."

Li Shuangwan nodded: "Okay."

"Miss Luo said she wanted to see you in a few days."

"Okay, tell her for me that I will treat her to a meal at Liuyue Tower on the seventh day of the first lunar month."

From the first to the fifth day of the New Year, all kinds of activities are inevitable. She can't leave, and Ling Heng will be in the mansion during this period. She can't let Ling Heng target Luo Luo.

On the sixth day, Li Shuangmiao was going to enter the mansion.

……

The next day was the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month. Emperor Jingzhang personally led all civil and military officials and a group of royal descendants of the Ling family to the White Horse Temple.

The affair between Ling Heng and Li Shuangmiao was kept strictly secret. Even in the White Horse Temple, except for the abbot and Song Changyu, no one knew how Li Shuangmiao became Ling Heng's concubine.

A concubine is also a concubine, so there is no need to ask the emperor for an order to grant the marriage. The day after the incident, the Minister of Rites Song Changyu had already submitted a memorial.

Emperor Jingzhang had no idea who Li Shuangmiao was. She was just a concubine, not to mention Ling Heng's concubine. He didn't even read the memorial. He just listened to the eunuch Zhang Desheng's suggestion and then waved his hand to agree.

Li Shuangwan stood behind Ling Heng and could see this person from the Northern Jin royal family clearly.

Emperor Jingzhang was nearly fifty years old, with wrinkles all over his face, looking very old, as if he was over sixty.

Prince Gong Ling Shijiang, who stepped back half a step from him, was thirty-six years old and looked much younger than his actual age.

If people didn't know that he was a lunatic in private, they would think he was a handsome young man.

When passing by them, he glanced at Ling Heng meaningfully, then glanced at Li Shuangwan, his eyes brightened, he raised his eyebrows, and turned his face away again.

Li Shuangwan just felt nauseous.

Behind them were the empress and other concubines, arranged according to their ranks.

Next came the princes.

Crown Prince Ling Ji is 28 years old this year. He has restrained himself a lot during this period of time, and even lost a lot of weight. However, his pair of peach blossom eyes, which are unique to the Ling family, are slightly raised, making him look a little frivolous.

Originally, the one following behind should be the second prince, Prince of Qi Lingyun, who is 26 years old this year. His birth mother is Consort Xian, who is also quite favored by Emperor Jingzhang. Because Consort Xian is a princess of Zhaoguo, she is destined to have no chance of succession, so she was made a prince early on. Now he has been deposed and imprisoned. Consort Xian was also demoted to a noble lady because of her poor parenting skills, so naturally she did not follow today.

Just as Li Shuangwan expected, the so-called house arrest of the third prince Ling Yao was just a pretense. He also came today. He and the prince are brothers, both born to Queen Jiang.

Although he was a legitimate son, he was always suppressed by the Crown Prince because he was three years older than him. This meant that he was destined to be a puppet for Ling Ji all his life. He was often resentful in private, and thus had a capricious and cruel personality, which was a headache for the Queen and his father-in-law, Duke Dingguo.

But the two of them wanted to suppress Ling Yao in every way, and constantly instilled in him the idea that he was a subject, which made Ling Yao full of resentment towards his fellow brother.

When passing by Ling Heng, Ling Yao raised an eyebrow at him and smiled cynically: "I didn't expect that Fourth Brother could do this kind of thing well even though it was his first time. You are doing well as a sixth-rank official."

Ling Heng smiled gently, pretending not to hear the sarcasm in his words: "Not even a fraction of what Third Brother is."

The fifth prince Ling Yan's mother, Concubine Wan Shu, raised her chin slightly as usual, and walked past Ling Heng without even looking at him.

He had always looked down on Ling Heng's mother for her money-grubbing smell. Now even that smell was gone, and the Emperor hadn't summoned her for ten years, so he would never take Ling Heng seriously.
