Chapter 5 The Future Emperor
Mother Lin came out in her home clothes and took a look at the courtyard.

"Who just came?"

"The maid in the aunt's yard said that Concubine Xiao from the palace invited me to the palace to enjoy the flowers."

Lin Youyi squeezed her fingers, her eyes were deep.

Mother Lin said happily, "This is a good thing!"

Lin Youyi said slowly: "Mother, Concubine Xiao is the younger sister of the Marquis of Chengyang."

In her previous life, she knew about this banquet, because the third concubine was selected at this banquet.

So this banquet is openly appreciating the flowers, but secretly choosing a concubine for the third prince. The Zhang family is not worthy of being a prince or concubine.

Most importantly, she always felt that the timing was wrong.

When mentioning Chengyanghou, Mother Lin's face became hot, and Qiqi Ai Ai sat down: "Then you mean you can't go? This is a rare good opportunity to get ahead."

Lin Youyi thought for a while, and said: "Of course I'm going, I'm specially invited, if I don't go, I won't show Concubine Xiao's face, so I just go, I should be fine if I keep a low profile."

The mother and daughter didn't discuss why they came here, they just let nature take its course.

It's just that Lin's mother attaches great importance to this banquet, and on the day of the banquet, she must carefully prepare it for Lin Youyi.

Looking at the brocade robe wearing colorful butterflies, Lin Youyi couldn't laugh or cry.

"Mother, I have to dress plain today, otherwise people will think that I am trying to steal the limelight. This robe is too gorgeous."

After saying that, she asked her servant girl to take out a lavender pleated skirt, which was paired with a plain robe, and the hair bun on her head was not decorated with gold hairpins or gold steps, but only matched with jade ornaments.

"That's it."

Mother Lin looked at it carefully.

Her niece is naturally good-looking, and she looks like I feel pity for her.

"It's just too plain, isn't it too inconspicuous for such an important occasion?"

"It's not good to hit the eyes, so be it."

Putting on her cloak, Lin Youyi bid farewell to her mother and took her maid to the main courtyard.

Zhang Miaozhen also tidied up, seeing her attire felt relieved, but she showed disapproval on her face.

"My sister's clothes are too plain. If people see her, they will think that our Zhang family can't survive. Hey, it's just that it's getting late at this time, and my sister has no time to change."

Lin Youyi smiled lightly and remained silent.

The two got into the carriage one after the other, and staggered towards the palace.

The Zhang family lived in Hutong Lane, not close to the imperial city, and they arrived after a meal. After getting off the carriage and presenting invitation cards, someone led them into the palace.

Concubine Xiao has always been favored and lives in the Lingxi Palace on the central axis of the harem, which is very close to the emperor's bedroom.

When Lin Youyi and two entered the Lingxi Palace, there were already several noble ladies sitting in the main hall, and a group of Yingyingyanyans were talking softly.

"Your Majesty, the two young ladies from the Zhang family have arrived."

Several noble ladies looked over curiously, Concubine Xiao also looked curious.

Lin Youyi and Zhang Miaozhen bowed profusely: "Peace to Concubine Xiao, and your phoenix body is in good health."

"Get up, come closer and let me see."

Concubine Xiao waved her hand, but she was taken aback when she saw Lin Youyi's face.

I saw Lin Youyi's face was as white and tender as jade and fat, her pair of Jianshuiqiu pupils were full of affection and timidity, kneaded into a thousand words, and under her upturned nose was plump and red lips.

The end is as beautiful as Xizi, and as rhyme as Zhaojun.

What a beauty, her nephew, who has never been enlightened, must have taken a fancy to her, right?
Concubine Xiao thought about it carefully.

Chengyang Hou's son married a wife based on his family background, but although his first wife can't do it, he can still make her a noble concubine, which is enough.

She glanced at the ear room with her beautiful eyes, and the corners of her lips curled up.

"Miss Lin, right? I see that you are very good at dressing up. It just so happens that there are no hairpins today. You can go to the Imperial Garden to pick flowers for me and come back."

All the ladies in the room were taken aback, and Zhang Miaozhen was also full of surprise.

Lin Youyi didn't even move her eyebrows, she lifted her skirt and bowed gracefully.

"Yes."

After saying that, I followed the maid of the Consonance Palace to the Imperial Garden.

Don't look at her saying nothing on the surface, but her heart is overwhelmed.

The palace maid glanced at her and pursed her lips.

"Miss Lin's birth is really good-looking. The strange way can make people think about it all the time. If I am also a man, I will be tied to my heart by the girl."

Her tone was contemptuous and irreverent.

Lin Youyi paused and did not leave.

"What do you mean girl?"

The maid smiled: "What's the meaning of the servant girl, but it's just a few words for nothing, Miss Lin, hurry up, it's not good to ask the empress to wait for a long time."

If it was the original Lin Youyi, she might have been frightened, but the Lin Youyi in front of her was Lin Youyi who died once and was reborn.

In her previous life, although she had been confined since she became blind, she was also favored by Xiao Yu'an for several years, and she always said the same.

She glanced at the palace lady with her beautiful eyes, turned around with a sneer and was about to return to Lingxi Palace.

The palace maid froze for a moment, gritted her teeth and chased after her, and stretched out her hand to pull her.

"Miss Lin, what are you doing?"

Lin Youyi flicked her sleeves and scolded coldly: "That's how Xiaofei taught you how to behave, how dare you tease me?!"

As soon as the maid gritted her teeth, she was about to pull her into the imperial garden.

"The girl should hurry up and pick flowers for the empress."

At this moment, a tall and straight figure turned out from a field of flowers, his cold eyes caught a glimpse of the two people who were chattering and frowned immediately.

"presumptuous!"

A little eunuch came out and scolded: "Which palace are you from, what are you doing in front of His Royal Highness King Rui?!"

The maid was startled, and knelt down with a plop.

Lin Youyi's heart skipped a beat.

King Rui, the younger uncle of the current emperor, the only son of the first emperor, and the future emperor.

She didn't dare to look at it at all, and knelt down after holding up the hem of her skirt, not at all calm in her heart.

When the first emperor was still alive, he never had a son. When he was in poor health, he hastily established the current emperor as the prince. Who knew that just as he was enthroned, the empress dowager was found to be pregnant, and she was the late emperor's posthumous son.

But the emperor has already ascended the throne, and the first emperor is dead, so it is too late to say anything.

The Holy One still took a lot of care of this young brother.

The queen mother regarded him even more.

In her previous life, Lin Youyi didn't know much about King Rui.

At the beginning, I only knew that this was the most honorable prince, but later I heard that he was punished by the Holy One and sent to the feudal domain. Within two years, I found out the will left by the late emperor.

The first emperor stated that he already knew that the empress was pregnant, and if he was a legitimate son, he would ask his ministers to supervise the country with the queen mother, and the legitimate son would directly ascend the throne when he grew up.

Today's holy majesty vomited blood from the edict, his body fell down suddenly, and he passed away within a few months.

King Rui ascended the throne.

There are people in the court who support him, and there are also those who oppose him. He directly killed a leading courtier in a thunderous way, and then showed evidence of his greed for ink. Gradually, no one dared to object.

King Rui said coldly: "Raise your head."
