My Ancient Stepson Bootcamp

Chapter 88
"What does Concubine Qi mean by this, I don't understand!" Lin Shuran counterattacked lightly, "It is said that there is nothing wrong with wanting to commit a crime. As a subject, my husband will do his best for the king, be loyal to the country, and do his best for the people. I don't see anything wrong!"

"Don't put gold on your family's face here. Now who doesn't know that your Xu family is the emperor's pawn. If you are willing to show your loyalty and turn yourself into a pauper, that is your own business. Why bother to drag everyone to accompany you?" No food!" Qi Rou'er said angrily.

Prince Ling's Mansion looks like a rich mansion, but in fact, it has already run out of money, and the public's money is usually very tight. Her husband, Prince Ling, is also a big spender. I don't know how much dowry money I have given him. If all the property of the palace is handed over or a large amount of property taxes are paid every year, the life of the palace will be even more difficult. At that time, she may not be able to keep her dowry.

"People say that a woman must have the ability to help her husband. Mrs. Xu should persuade General Xu to stop messing around with the emperor and ask the princes and nobles to hand over their land. Isn't this a joke!" Concubine Li It seems to be persuasion but it is actually ironic. If the Qi family's property decreases, her life in the palace will be sad.

"Thank you, Concubine Li, for your enlightenment!" Just when the three of Concubine Li's mother and daughter thought that Lin Shuran had given in to these words, they heard Lin Shuran continue to say loudly, "But I don't think this is a joke. There is a saying Concubine Li is right, a woman must have the ability to help her husband, but I don't think that Concubine Li has the ability to do so!"

"Lin Shuran, what do you mean by that!" Concubine Li got angry immediately.

"Mrs. Xu, this is in the palace. As a court wife, why do you insult the concubine like this!" Sun also took the opportunity to shout, while Qi Rou'er just watched Lin Shuran anger her sister and mother with glee.

"Bullying? Mrs. Qin Guogong, don't wrong me!" Lin Shuran had a faint smile on her face. She looked directly at Concubine Li and said, "Concubine Li, you just said that the emperor is messing around. As the king of a country, The emperor puts the country, the ancestral foundation, and the common people first, so how could it be a nonsense! As a woman of the emperor, if you don’t have the ability to distinguish right from wrong, then learn to shut up, lest you end up losing the king’s heart and husband heart of."

"Lin Shuran, you—" Concubine Li was held in her throat by what Lin Shuran said.

"Well said!" At this moment, the emperor's voice suddenly sounded in the back garden, and the three concubine Li, mother and daughter were almost scared out of their wits.

Lin Shuran looked at the emperor and Xu Junze who appeared suddenly in surprise, and they came straight in front of the four of them. Concubine Li, mother and daughter hurriedly knelt down to pay their respects, and Lin Shuran also greeted the emperor according to the etiquette in the palace.

"Little sister, you don't need to be too polite. They are all from my own family. Later, your sister will blame me!" Emperor Zhao You smiled and raised his hand to get Lin Shuran to get up, but he didn't let Concubine Li, mother and daughter get up.

After Lin Shuran stood up, Zhao You looked coldly at the three members of the Sun family who were kneeling on the ground, then glanced at Eunuch Qu, and said in a stern voice: "Concubine Li has no virtue, now she is downgraded to a talented person. Without my will, you are not allowed to leave the gate of the palace, and the Sun's goddaughter has no means, so she will not be allowed to enter the palace in the future. During the national funeral, Concubine Qi should keep her filial piety at home, and you will be punished and not allowed to leave the palace gate for three months."

Concubine Li suddenly collapsed on the ground. She looked at the emperor in horror, and begged for mercy loudly: "Your majesty, this concubine made a mistake. Please forgive me. What I said just now was unintentional. Your majesty, please forgive me." Concubine!"

Sun was also frightened by the emperor's will. From a concubine to a talented person, what is the difference between being in the cold palace? She kept kowtowing to the emperor, and stopped all the guilt on herself while crying: "The emperor , Your Majesty, it is all the fault of the courtiers. It has nothing to do with the concubine Li or the side concubine. It is the fault of the courtiers who are immoral. kill her!"

At this time, the Sun family is very different from the previous tricky and mean look. If the emperor hadn't listened to what they said just now, she would not be so angry at this time. Facing the supreme authority of the emperor, even if she was very dissatisfied If you don't want to, you have to let go of all your stature and dignity and beg the emperor's forgiveness.

Concubine Li and Qi Rou'er looked at their mother begging the emperor, and hoped that she would cry more sadly. It would be best if the emperor could put all the blame on Mrs. Sun, so as to preserve the wealth of themselves and the Qi family. Otherwise everything would be over, so they didn't argue anymore, they just cried and begged for mercy.

As if having a headache from the mother and daughter quarreling, Zhao You glared at them fiercely. Eunuch Qu understood what he meant just by looking at the emperor's eyes, and immediately waved his hand to ask someone to drag Concubine Li away, Sun and Mrs. Qi Rou'er drove out of the palace gate.

After the unsightly Sun mother and daughter left, the emperor also asked Xu Junze to send Lin Shuran home. He seemed very satisfied with Lin Shuran's words just now.

In the carriage returning home, Xu Junze kept looking at Lin Shuran intentionally or unintentionally, as if he couldn't get enough of it, Lin Shuran was uncomfortable looking at him, so he simply turned to him and asked, "What are you looking at?"

It was rare for Xu Junze to lose the coldness that often hung on his face, but he said with a little smile: "Just now the emperor said that I should thank him, thank him for giving me such a smart and caring wife."

Hearing Xu Junze's compliments in disguise, Lin Shuran couldn't help showing a smile. There is no woman in this world who doesn't like being praised, and she felt sweet in her heart.

Seeing the happy smile on Lin Shuran's face, the smile on Xu Junze's face also deepened, perhaps the emperor was right, he should really be grateful to him, otherwise how could his wife be Lin Shuran.

"I'm going to go to the farm later. Do you want to go home or come with me?" Lin Shuran always felt that there was some awkwardness between the two of them. Lin Shuran thought that something could be said to ease the embarrassment, so she changed the subject.

"What did you go to the farm for?" Xu Junze asked curiously.

"In the palace just now, I saw that the Empress Dowager was a little tired. Aunt Chang said that she couldn't sleep well recently. There are a few pots of flowers and plants in my farm that can soothe the nerves and help sleep. I was busy when I was in the farm. I planted these things myself, and I will choose two to send to the Empress Dowager." Lin Shuran told him her intention to leave the farm.

Xu Junze looked at her with deeper eyes. He could feel that Lin Shuran was really thinking about the Queen Mother's body. In this world, apart from his master, it was the Queen Mother who treated him best. In his mind, the Queen Mother also Undoubtedly his biological mother.

So he deliberately said solemnly: "I was ordered to escort you home, and I will naturally follow you to the farm, otherwise you will be disobeying the emperor's order!"
