The imperial concubine favors the crown of the harem

Chapter 1
As night fell, not long after the sound of clappers sounded in Xushi, the bustle of Shengjing City gradually dissipated. It was crowded in the daytime, but at this moment, only the sweepers under the name of the government were left to clean up the streets.

Located on the nearest Chang'an Street to the south of the imperial city, in Lin Xiang's Mansion, the maids and servants are lighting lamps in the backyard in an orderly manner.

After the exquisite shofar palace lanterns were lit up one by one, there was a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere in the whole Xiangfu.

But in the main room of the east courtyard, Mrs. Dong was weeping with her head down, but she lowered her crying, not daring to make too much noise.

Sitting next to him was Lin Guangzu, the uncle of the Lin family, who was also frowning. He clenched his fists loosely. In the end, he could only sigh a long time. When he looked at his wife, he hesitated to speak.

"My lord, what should we do? We only have such a daughter, why should we send her into the palace? What kind of troublesome master! The people from Xikuayuan said it nicely. Do you only have one princess? Isn’t it just to spoil her if you want to enter the palace?”

Thinking of her daughter's sensible appearance, the Da Furen couldn't restrain her crying even more, she tightly grabbed the handkerchief in her hand, wishing she could immediately tear up the imperial decree letting her daughter into the palace.

"I originally planned to keep her for two years to start a family slowly, but I didn't expect to be tricked by the woman in Ronghetang. If we had known that we would send her to the palace, we should have made an appointment earlier when she was old enough." dear."

The regretful Uncle Lin hit his leg with a punch, and the blow didn't hurt even if he was powerless.

It's just that he, who has always been the most filial, would call his stepmother "the woman of Ronghetang", which made the eldest lady sitting next to her stop crying.

One sentence complained about the grievances he had suffered over the years.

"Our Xingzhi is now in his twenties, but he is still just a rank-less bodyguard. I am afraid that others will not believe it. The eldest grandson of the majestic Prime Minister Lin can't even mix with the lowest-ranked seventh-rank court guard." , It’s just a joke.”

"Muzhi is now about 13 years old. He can't get into the famous Imperial College, so he can only hire a talented gentleman to teach at home. Even if he has great ambitions, he has no wings."

The more he talked, the more sad he became, and his red eyes were swollen from crying.

Seeing that the whole family has been reduced to the foil of the Xikuayuan next door, they did not expect that even their only daughter would be spared.

Listening to his wife's scolding, Uncle Lin was very angry when he thought that the eldest house had been neglected or excluded in the past few decades.

But he couldn't do anything except punch the air a few times.

Who told his stepmother to be Princess Rongkang from Prince Zhan's mansion? After decades of accumulating power, not only is she fully in charge of the mansion, but also in the palace and in the hall, there are people who can talk.

And her real granddaughter, Xiangye Lin's eldest granddaughter, Lin Wanzhou, is now the most noble concubine in the palace.

No wonder the servants said that Xikuayuan is the master of Xiangfu.

As for those who lived in the eastern courtyard, without the support from their wife's natal family, Dong, they would have become deserted courtyards, or would have been driven back to their hometowns to guard their ancestral houses.

With a long sigh, the uncle of the Lin family hated himself for being helpless and felt wronged for the children.

Dedicated to his room, it really seems to be beautiful, but it is really difficult.

The candlelight elongated the shadows of the couple and cast them under the window. Outside the door, brother and sister Lin Xingzhi and Lin Wanyi, who had brought sweet soup for their parents to taste, heard these words clearly. .

Lin Wanyi was a little taken aback, frowning and thinking about it.

Lin Xingzhi squeezed the hand holding the wooden support with bruised veins, and his face was very ugly.

He had just come back from duty today, and met his younger sister on the way back to his room, so he came to greet his parents together, but he did not expect to accidentally overhear that Xikuayuan was going to send his younger sister into the palace.

In a hurry, he wanted to break in immediately, but was blocked by Lin Wanyi at the side.

Shaking his head slightly at him, he whispered while pulling his arm.

"Brother, come with me."

After finishing speaking, he dragged the man from the main house to his small courtyard.

"Qianqian, why don't you let me go in and ask for clarification?"

Lin Xingzhi was extremely excited about anything involving his younger sister, especially when he heard that entering the palace was related to people from Xikuayuan and Ronghetang, the evil fire that had been suppressed for a long time in his heart would burst out.

Lin Wanyi looked at her brother like this, without even thinking about it, she knew how distressed and sad her parents were.

Along the way, the cool breeze had already woken her up.

"Brother, what do you want to ask when you go in? No matter how much you say, it can't change the fact that I'm going to enter the palace, can it? On the contrary, it makes father and mother even more uncomfortable. Why bother?"

"But this is your lifelong event! The Xikuayuan is too deceptive!"

He punched Limu's table, and even the celadon cup on it shook and shook, making a clanging sound.

Lin Wanyi stepped forward to look at his hands, but they were slightly reddish, which was not a problem.

So he spoke slowly, without any sense of loneliness and embarrassment in his tone.

"It's a done deal, and the emperor's order is hard to break. It's difficult for our family to survive at home. If I annoy the princess and the people in Xikuayuan again because of my marriage, how can I ask my mother to live in peace in the backyard? Some time ago, my grandfather I just found an errand for my father, and I want to enter the Qin Tianjian, so if I enter the palace in exchange for the safety and success of our family, big brother, I am 1 willing."

Lin Wanyi's eyes are full of sincerity, and she is more concerned about her family.

Seeing his younger sister being so sensible, Lin Xingzhi was quite uncomfortable.

Obviously she is only 17 years old, and she can find an ordinary family to live a peaceful life, but everything has come to naught.

Entering the palace seems to be a matter of supreme glory, but behind it, how many thorny roads are there to walk?
Lin Wanzhou from Xikuayuan has become a noble concubine, and I don't see how happy she is. My younger sister is gone, and I don't know what kind of life she is living.

"Shallow..."

Lin Xingzhi wanted to persuade, but he didn't know where to start.

That night, everyone in Dongkuayuan couldn't sleep soundly.

Early in the morning of the second day, the clouds had just broken.

Mama Liu of Ronghe Hall personally went to Dongkua Courtyard to invite Mrs. Dong and Lin Wanyi to have a talk, the expression on her face was unprecedentedly kind.

"Second Miss is very lucky. She is about to enter the palace to become a noble person. Da Furen can rest assured that there is our imperial concubine and empress looking after her. Second Miss will not be able to suffer. Maybe she will be able to enjoy wealth and honor once she goes. Isn't it also Dafang's blessing?"

While walking, he also comforted me with flattery.

The eldest lady Dong's eye sockets were still slightly red, and her mouth was tightly pursed.

Under the wide sleeves, Lin Wanyi's hand was held for a long time, unwilling to let go.

Lin Wanyi also held her mother's slightly trembling hand, trying to convey her calmness to her and make her feel more at ease.
