Plot It's Not About Me [Quick Transmigration]

It is worth mentioning that Guan Miao also attended the palace banquet.

Not only did she come, but she also came as the side concubine of the fifth prince.

That's right, it's the fifth prince's side concubine, not the main concubine.

Lu Xinglin had been in Zhuangzi before, so he didn't know what happened in Shangjing. He only found out when he saw the fifth prince and Guan Miao coming together.

Although most people don't know about Guan Miao's spread of rumors, how could it be possible to hide it from several top families.

From the eyes of those who knew about it, the Fifth Prince made a bad move, after all, it was not worth it to win Lu Xinglin for a woman.

The fifth prince also knew about this, if he didn't really like Guan Miao, he would really not want to offend Lu Xinglin.

This time I took the initiative to bring Guan Miao to look for Lu Xinglin, mainly to apologize for Guan Miao. Anyway, Lu Xinglin did not do anything to offend Guan Miao. Instead, she secretly spread rumors to hurt Ji Yun for no reason.

Lu Xinglin knew very well why Guan Miao was hostile to him, but he didn't intend to speak for Guan Miao.

But towards the fifth prince, he didn't have any bad feelings, and his attitude was still the same as before, which disappointed many people who wanted to see him and the fifth prince fall out.

Lu Xinglin also learned from Ji Tao after returning from the palace banquet that Guan Miao met Emperor Zhao who was out of the palace by accident. Not to mention hit it off, but she also fell in love with Emperor Zhao, and she was indeed very talented, so Emperor Zhao remembered it in his heart.

Moreover, Emperor Zhao had always secretly planned to suppress the nobles of the aristocratic family, but he didn't dare to put it on the surface.

The fifth prince's promotion of sweet potatoes and cotton was done very well, which gave Emperor Zhao the heart to establish a reserve.

So after learning that the fifth prince and Guan Miao were in love, he gave them a marriage.

Originally, there was also this plot, but it was in the later stage, and Guan Miao had a very good reputation in Shangjing at that time, and there were many people who admired her, so the one who was given the marriage was the position of the prince and concubine.

Because Emperor Zhao liked her as the main concubine very much, he never gave the fifth prince a side concubine.

So much so that after the fifth prince came to the throne, he only doted on Guan Miao, and she was the only one in the harem for the rest of his life, which was passed down as a good story.

Now that he has a bad reputation, and he hasn't even become the main concubine, it is naturally impossible for him to favor only one person. After all, the fifth prince still wants to marry the main concubine, who is also the future queen.

"But with such a like-minded side concubine, the fifth prince's status as a concubine may not be high enough." Ji Tao said.

Lu Xinglin nodded, he naturally knew this too.

Although the imperial concubine of the Zhao Dynasty was also given a marriage by the emperor, but before the marriage was bestowed, it was necessary to communicate with the imperial concubine's family, not to say that she would give a marriage to whomever she wanted.

If the fifth prince does not have a side concubine, or if the side concubine is not Guan Miao, there must be many aristocratic daughters who want to be the fifth prince's concubine.

After all, the fifth prince's performance in the past year or so has been really good, and he has been more and more reused by Emperor Zhao. Naturally, many people want to compete for this meritorious service.

It's just that except for some small families, the real big families still attach great importance to their daughters, especially the direct descendants.

With a side concubine like Guan Miao who loves each other, it is still a marriage bestowed by Emperor Zhao. It will be very embarrassing for the crown princess to marry in the future, but anyone who loves their daughters will not marry their precious daughter to such a person.

Even if a big family wants to marry, it is impossible to marry a daughter of the direct line, at most it is a collateral line, or a concubine of the direct line.

Although the status of a concubine is low, as long as her name is recorded directly under the name of the aunt, she can be considered a half-concubine.

The status of the prince is noble, but the status of the noble daughter of the family is not low. It is not uncommon for such a situation to happen before.

Lu Xinglin didn't care who the fifth prince married in the end, anyway, the Ji family never married with the royal family, and no one could marry his sisters.

As for the Lu family or the Yao family, the direct cousins ​​are very favored at home, so naturally the family would not do this.

Besides, many people who are of the right age have already made appointments.

Lu Xinglin didn't take the Fifth Prince's marriage seriously, this was what Guan Miao should worry about, whether it had anything to do with him.

He went back to Hou's mansion for one night, and early the next morning, he went to Ji's house.

Although it is considered to be the establishment of the mansion, Lu Xinglin is not married after all, so he still has to do the things that should be done, such as the work of receiving relatives and friends on the first day of the new year every year.

After being busy for a few days, Lu Xinglin felt a little more relaxed, ready to go back to the Zhuangzi to hide for peace.

It's just that every time he thinks about it, this quietness can't hide for a few days at all.

Because when he didn't know, Emperor Zhao reached an agreement with Ji's family. Twelve's sister, Jiuniang, was recorded in Lu's name, and was given to the fifth prince as his concubine.

To be honest, Lu Xinglin was in a bad mood when he heard the news.

Before, he swore that the fifth prince's marriage had nothing to do with him, but when he turned around, he was slapped in the face.

Jiu Niang was a little older than Lu Xinglin, she just passed Ji last year, but at that time she was just an inconspicuous concubine, and Ji Ji was done quietly in the courtyard, Lu Xinglin remembered that he even gave gifts to her at that time.

Now that it is recorded under Lu's name, Jijili can't make up for it, but everything else that should be there is also prepared.

Now Jiuniang has been rearranged according to the order of the family's first daughter, she is ranked sixth, and everyone has changed her name to Liuniang.

Although she was recorded under Lu's name, she is Li's biological daughter, and she is going to enter the palace to be the prince and concubine, so the status of Li and Twelve has been improved a lot at home.

In addition, Twelve, because of Lu Xinglin's teaching, is now regarded as the descendant of Guigong's lineage, and his status is also good. He was poached by the Ministry of Industry a few years ago, and now works in the Ministry of Industry.

Although he is young and his position is not high, he is highly valued by the fifth prince, and he is registered with Emperor Zhao.

After all, apart from Lu Xinglin, who can know the heirs of Ghost Workers now, there are only twelve ones.

Although he didn't go to elementary school, he couldn't bear to be smart and talented in this area. After being trained by those craftsmen in Zhuangzi, he was almost able to become a teacher in just over a year.

Now that the imperial court wants those siege equipment, they can only start from twelve aspects, so naturally they value him very much.

In the future, her daughter will be a concubine, maybe even a future empress, and her son is valued and has a bright future. Li's days are not to mention how comfortable she is.

What's more, in order to avoid the fact that the royal concubine's biological mother was a slave, which would affect the reputation of the royal family, Li's deed of sale has now been torn up, and she has become a commoner. Although she is still a concubine, she is no longer a lowly concubine that can be bought and sold at will.

So now she has moved out of the side courtyard and lived in an independent small courtyard.

Although it is just an ordinary independent courtyard, it is many times better than before. Mrs. Li is not a greedy person in the first place, so she is naturally very satisfied with it.

Ever since she moved out, she didn't even go out of the courtyard, let alone using her status as the concubine's mother to compete for favor.

I spend all day growing flowers and grass in the yard, and learning to read and write along the way.

It was precisely because of Li Shi's performance that Lu Shi, who had originally had a grudge against her, felt much more at ease.

Even Lu's attitude towards Liu Niang has become a lot closer, not only gave Liu Niang a dowry mother brought over from the Lu family, but also often called her over to teach her personally.

Liu Niang used to be a concubine, and she followed Li Shi since she was a child, and she never learned anything about housekeeping.

Even if she wanted to learn, Li Shi, who was born as a servant, didn't understand it.

Although it is much later than other noble girls from other aristocratic families to start learning now, it can still make up for it by working harder.

Lu Xinglin was called back to attend the banquet of Ji's family. After all, his daughter was given a marriage to become a concubine. Even if she was engaged to the royal family, the celebration was indispensable.

As a younger brother, it is natural for him to give a gift when Sister is engaged.

Fortunately, he and Liu Niang are familiar with each other because of Twelve, and know some of Liu Niang's preferences, so the gift he prepared, a pair of ruby ​​silk-wrapped crested hairpins, is very popular with Liu Niang.

Rubies are not precious things to the Ji family, but the rubies that Lu Xinglin brought out were not the smooth polished ones at this time, but precision-cut diamond-shaped gemstones, both in color and transparency. , far more beautiful than polished rubies.

Especially the tassel on the beak of the crested hairpin is chasing a drop-shaped ruby, and the light reflected from the cut surface under the sun is very dazzling.

It can be said that there is no woman who doesn't like gems, let alone such exquisite and beautiful ruby ​​jewelry, let alone Liu Niang, even Ji Ji and the others couldn't help being moved when they saw it.

Fortunately, the Ji family girls are very well-bred, knowing that today is a good day for Liu Niang, so they didn't come to pester Lu Xinglin for jewelry at this time.

Lu Xinglin has always been thoughtful, so how could he only prepare for Liu Niang alone.

So after the banquet, he asked Zhu Yu to send a box of cut gems to the sisters in the family one by one.

These gemstones are not limited to rubies, there are all kinds of sapphires and emeralds, and there are many other pinks, purples, etc., and there are many sizes, and there are several cut shapes, almost common shapes. Any jewelry will do.

This gift naturally made all the girls of the Ji family very happy. They all got together and planned to ask the silversmith at home to make some sets of jewelry.

In addition to the girl at home, Lu and other elders are also indispensable.

Lu Xinglin sent it around this time, naturally won the hearts of all the women in the family again.

It was the old lady who liked the gem very much when she saw it, and put it in the jewelry box herself.

But after the collection here, the old lady over there asked her confidant mother to pick two Zhuangzi and two shops in good locations, and sent the house deeds, land deeds and the deeds of sale of the servants to Lu Xinglin.

She was worried that her little grandson would often send them in this way, and the family was not rich enough, so she wanted to subsidize some.
