Chapter 37 Welcome to the Center of Power

"What's wrong with you? Are you a child who is still growing up? You still have to eat cakes at night."

Shen Mengqi broke free from Lin Jihan's shackles unhappily, she bypassed Lin Jihan and climbed directly to the inner side of the bed, covered the quilt and lay down with her back facing Lin Jihan.

That aggrieved little appearance curled up into a ball is simply not too pitiful.

Suddenly Shen Mengqi felt her body lighten, she opened her eyes and saw Lin Jihan hugged her together with the quilt in his arms.

"My lord."

"Don't you want pastries?"

Lin Jihan carried Shen Mengqi out of the door, and Ye Wei, who was still leaning on the stone pier and dozing off, immediately trotted over, "My lord."

"Madam wants to eat cakes, go get some candied date cakes."

Shen Mengqi stretched out her hand from the quilt and grabbed Lin Jihan's lapel, "Don't be so troublesome, Nanchen is wearing a worry-free cake."

Hearing the words Jieyou Cake, Lin Jihan couldn't help but think of the gifts from the Luo family. He couldn't help but panicked for a while. He looked at Shen Mengqi who was wrapped in his arms and said, "Either you eat candied date cake." , or go back to sleep, you choose."

Shen Mengqi couldn't help giving Lin Jihan a hard look, this man!

But in the end, she couldn't live with the food, Shen Mengqi looked at Ye Wei and said, "Just take three or four yuan."

After Shen Mengqi finished speaking, Lin Jihan didn't rush back to the room, but sat directly on the steps, holding Shen Mengqi on his lap like a child.When they raised their heads a little, they could see the cold moon hanging in the sky.

"You are a little restless tonight, is it because you are going to enter the court hall, are you nervous?"

Looking at the cold moonlight, Shen Mengqi gradually calmed down, "No, it's just that I slept too much during the day and couldn't sleep at night."

Looking at Shen Mengqi, who had a stubborn mouth, Lin Jihan smiled lightly and said: "The court is a battlefield where soldiers are bloodless. In the end, it's just whose fists are harder and who is more willing to fight. There's nothing to be nervous about."

Lin Jihan handed the candied date cake brought by Ye Wei to Shen Mengqi. For some reason, he always wanted to ask Shen Mengqi more, "The Ministry of Officials is in charge of the archives of officials in the world and holds the lifeblood of their official careers. No matter how dissatisfied this Minister of the Ministry of Officials is, he will not dare to do anything to you."

Shen Mengqi ate the candied date cake in small bites, and she said, "Yes."

For some reason, with Lin Jihan by her side, Shen Mengqi felt surprisingly at ease.Before finishing the candied date cake, Shen Mengqi, who had been tense for many days and still had the cake in her mouth, fell asleep in Lin Jihan's arms.

Listening to Shen Mengqi's snoring sound of 'fu.fu', Lin Jihan lightly took away the pastry she hadn't finished eating and handed it to Ye Wei who was standing by, while he carefully carried Shen Mengqi back into the room .

"fu~fu~"

Looking at Shen Mengqi who was sleeping peacefully, Lin Jihan smiled and said, "Welcome to step into the center of power, my precious little princess."

On the second day, Shen Mengqi and Lin Jihan got up early in the morning, and after a hasty meal, they went to court together in a sedan chair.

As soon as they left, the Lin family sent someone to call Cheng Xingchen, Hu Yan and others over, saying that it was morning and evening to set the rules.

Lin looked at the people standing in a row, and she squinted her eyes with a smile, "Since they are all in the palace, they are a family, don't hold back, sit down."

"Are you guys still used to living in the palace?"

Just as Hu Yan was about to speak, she was interrupted by Wang Yanzhi who was on the side: "I'm used to it. Her Royal Highness has already assigned us a yard and servants."

"It's good if you don't get treated harshly."

Lin smiled and said: "Princess, she has always been generous to others, but she is too busy and doesn't go home. Look at going to court early in the morning and returning at night. She has nothing to do with the affairs of the mansion. Time is up."

After finishing speaking, Lin's conversation changed: "She is doing something important to share the worries of the Tian family, so I can't say anything, but there must be someone in the house to take care of things."

Her words seemed to be trying to seize power, and when Wang Yanzhi was thinking about how to respond, he heard Cheng Xingchen reply directly: "Mother-in-law, don't worry, Your Royal Highness has already thought about it, and specially asked me to take care of the palace affairs temporarily, and asked Yanzhi to take care of it." .”

"is it?"

Lin apparently didn't expect that Shen Mengqi had already made all the arrangements, she smiled awkwardly, "Princess is indeed a person who handles big things, all of this has been arranged."

This doesn't sound like a compliment, but a complaint.

Wang Yanzhi stood up and said: "As the mistress of the palace, Her Royal Highness will naturally arrange everything properly, so that the mother-in-law can take care of her life with peace of mind."

Lin's hand on her lap couldn't help but tighten.

Hu Yan said angrily, "His Royal Highness just asked you to help Cheng Xingchen take care of the palace, and you just stood up for her like this. It's really easy to bribe."

Before Hu Yan finished speaking, Cheng Xingchen stood up and walked in front of Hu Yan, raised his hand and slapped her.

The crisp sound drew everyone's attention.

Hu Yan looked at Cheng Xingchen in disbelief and said, "How dare you hit me!"

Angrily, she raised her hand to fight back, but Cheng Xingchen grabbed her wrist and pinned her to death on the chair below her.

Cheng Xingchen frowned, and said in a fierce voice: "I reminded you yesterday, so watch your stinky mouth, how dare you gossip about Her Royal Highness behind your back?"

Looking at Hu Yan, who was pear blossoms in the rain, Lin said with a dark face: "Xing Chen, what are you doing!"

"Just teach the disobedient dog for Her Royal Highness."

Lin's complexion immediately became even worse, and she always felt that Cheng Xingchen was pointing fingers at Sang and scolding Huai, scolding herself in a disguised form.

Cheng Xingchen didn't even raise her head. She looked at Hu Yan with red eyes and said, "I tell you, next time you dare to speak ill of Her Highness the Princess, I'll have someone beat you up and drag you out!"

Hu Yan was so frightened that she shivered, while Wang Yanzhi secretly gave Cheng Xingchen a thumbs up. This attitude was really tough.

Xiu'er sat in a well-behaved position, trying to reduce her sense of existence as much as possible, for fear that the flames of war would burn herself.

Seeing that Hu Yan was honest, Cheng Xingchen turned to Lin and said, "Mother-in-law, if there is nothing else, Xingchen will resign. There are still a lot of things to deal with in the house."

Lin said with a cold face: "Go."

Seeing this, Wang Yanzhi resigned and went out together.

Seeing this, Xiu'er was about to salute and say goodbye and go back to her small courtyard, when Lin said: "Hu Tongfang, Xiutongfang, if you two are free, you can chat with me, the old lady."

Looking at Lin's eyes with a deep meaning, Hu Yan's eyes couldn't help but light up. She covered the half of her face that was swollen by Cheng Xingchen, suppressed her excitement and echoed: "Yes, mother-in-law."

Xiu'er looked at Lin and Hu Yan as if sitting on pins and needles, and her heart couldn't help but bumped into each other, always feeling that she shouldn't sit back.
