Chapter 22
Speaking of which, the noble concubine pulled Xiu'er in front of her and said: "On weekdays, elder brother Jihan is long and elder brother Jihan whispers in my ear, now that this palace has invited someone here for you, why are you still here?" Hiding behind Bengong, why don’t you hurry up and call someone?”

Xiu'er was holding the imperial concubine's skirt tightly with both hands, only her head emerged from behind her, "Brother Ji Jihan."

Seeing that Lin Jihan was silent, the imperial concubine picked up the tea that had been prepared earlier from the table and handed it to her, and pushed her forward, "Don't stand there stupidly, hurry up and pass tea to your elder brother Jihan."

Hearing the voices of the two people on the opposite side pinching their throats, Lin Jihan couldn't help feeling cold.Seeing Xiu'er walking towards him, he subconsciously leaned back.

Not just intentionally or unintentionally, when Xiu'er stumbled, she rushed towards Lin Jihan.

"what!"

Shen Mengqi saw this scene after coming out from the emperor's side to Guangxiu Palace. Lin Jihan's clothes were covered with water stains, and Xiu'er was leaning on Lin Jihan's body in an extremely indecent posture.

Shen Mengqi's eyelids twitched when she saw this scene.

When Princess Anshun, who came late, got married, everyone's attention was directly drawn to Shen Mengqi's side.Looking at Shen Mengqi standing quietly at the side, Lin Jihan pushed Xiu'er aside.

He snorted coldly: "Is the imperial concubine inviting me to tea, or cannibalism?"

The noble concubine smiled and said: "Your Highness, please forgive me, the regent, this nephew of my palace loves the regent too much. When serving tea to the regent, he lost his mind for a moment and fell into the regent's arms."

Lin Jihan brushed off the tea stains on his body, and asked in a cold voice, "Really?"

The noble concubine said: "That's natural. As an apology, how about I send this nephew to the Prince Regent as a concubine?"

Hearing what the concubine said, Ye Wei beside Lin Jihan couldn't help muttering: "This is an apology, or touch porcelain, really think that our Regent's Palace collects tatters, and everyone stuffs them in."

Lin Jihan looked at Shen Mengqi and asked, "Ma'am, what do you think?"

Shen Mengqi looked at the imperial concubine indifferently and asked: "The daughters of the ministers of the Ministry of Rites are all just the prince's liaison, what about Miss Xiu'er?"

The imperial concubine's face fell instantly, family background was the most difficult hurdle in her heart.

"This king also thinks it's inappropriate."

Lin Jihan stepped forward and circled Shen Mengqi's waist, and said to the imperial concubine, "Thank you for your hospitality, the imperial concubine, and I will take my leave."

Seeing the two people who didn't turn their heads back, the imperial concubine almost broke her handkerchief, she slapped Xiu'er backhand, "You're so petty, who can take a liking to you? What a waste It was planned by this Palace, originally I was expecting you to enter the Prince Regent's Mansion and be favored, so that the Prince Regent would say more good things about Brother San in the future, it's all ruined!"

Xiu'er was so frightened that she fell to the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "Xiu'er knows she was wrong, please forgive me."

The imperial concubine's nails scratched Xiu'er's face and raised her head, "If it wasn't for your face, hum!"

She threw Xiu'er aside fiercely, looking at the two people who were drifting away, the noble concubine straightened her hair and snorted coldly: "Forget it, there will be a next time if it doesn't work this time, it will be the princess's birthday soon, you Give Ben Gong some savvy. If this matter fails by then, your mother and younger brother will also be unable to survive."

Xiu'er held back her tears, choked up and said, "Yes, Xiu'er understands."

When Shen Mengqi and Lin Jihan returned to the mansion, Wang Peng had already been waiting in the Prince Regent's mansion for a long time, and all the people in the mansion's courtyard were kneeling in the lobby at the entrance.

Seeing the two of them coming back, Wang Peng smiled and said, "My lord and princess, you can be regarded as coming back, but the imperial decree has arrived for a while."

Guessing that it was the intention to ask him to take charge of the murder case of Minister of the Ministry of Officials, he directly took Shen Mengqi to the front and knelt down.

Wang Peng unfolded the imperial decree and read: "Following the fate of the heavens, the emperor ordered that Anshun Princess Shen Mengqi has a pure temperament, has read poetry and books, and is fair. She is now sealed as the Minister of the Ministry of Households. I respect you."

After reading, there was an uproar in the mansion. Lin Jihan looked at Shen Mengqi who was beside her, and saw that she had a calm face, bowed her head to thank her, and then accepted the imperial decree. It looked like she should have known about it a long time ago.

Wang Peng looked at the Regent and said, "Congratulations, Regent, this is the first female official of Tianyuan Kingdom, and she is your wife."

Lin Jihan smiled and said, "This king also feels honored."
