Concubine in power

Lin Yichen's words shifted everyone's attention to Lu Zhiyao in an instant. Lu Zhiyao blinked in embarrassment, and then quickly returned to his original state.With a generous smile, Lu Zhiyao met Lin Yichen's eyes across the air, and wanted to tell him that he was Lu Zhiyao, but Nangong Liuxi preempted him.

"Chen'er likes this girl?" Nangong Liuxi glanced at Lu Zhiyao with some joy. Although she was dressed in plain clothes today, she was still quite pretty.Besides, if it's the prime minister's daughter, then...

"My son was just asking casually." Lin Yichen's words extinguished the hope in Nangong Liuxi's heart. He looked directly into Lu Zhiyao's eyes and asked, "What's your name?"

"Back to the prince, the name of the civilian girl is Lu Zhiyao."

As soon as Lu Zhiyao's name was mentioned, some people started whispering to each other.Lu Zhiyao could only sigh secretly for the malicious glances cast from time to time.Sure enough, Lin Yichen called himself here because he wanted to see himself make a fool of himself.

"Lu Zhiyao? Isn't that really the prime minister's eldest daughter?" A sharp voice came to everyone's ears. Lu Zhiyao saw that it was a woman dressed as a concubine sitting behind the emperor and queen.She purposely elongated her voice and emphasized the word "eldest daughter", which made those who have heard or not heard the rumors about Lu Zhiyao couldn't help but want to know, what will she do next? I want to say something.

"Concubine Mei knows her?" Nangong Liuxi looked back curiously, looked at Mei Ruohan who was talking, and said softly: "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Mei Ruohan pursed her lower lip in a bit of embarrassment, with a look of hesitation, which made those who wanted to hear her speak anxious.

"Just say anything, there are so many people waiting."

A deep male voice sounded slowly, Mei Ruohan glanced at Lin Yunlong who was speaking, nodded lightly, and said: "Back to the emperor and queen, the concubine is just listening to what other people say, as to whether it is true or not, I don't know. Others say that the prime minister's eldest daughter, Lu Zhiyao, is a bastard. She killed her mother shortly after she was born, and her brother also died when she was two years old. So far, the prime minister has no son. If this is the case Really, that concubine thinks that this kind of person cannot be kept in our palace."

Although this Mei Ruohan said that she was just hearsay, but she said it with a sense and insight, which made Lu Zhiyao feel a little funny.Those who can accompany the emperor and empress to help the prince choose concubines, besides those who are favored by the emperor, or who have the same heart with the empress, there will inevitably be other people.Whether this Mei Ruohan is a relative of some of these selected concubines, Lu Zhiyao is not sure, but seeing her smug expression, Lu Zhiyao can be sure that she does not want to make herself this Princess's.

"I've heard that too, how can such a person be allowed to enter the palace?"

Mei Ruohan's words quickly resonated, and the other concubines also talked about the rumors they had heard, but because of the occasion, they didn't say anything about Lu Zhiyao's debauchery.Lu Zhiyao was isolated like this, while bearing the gaze of the emperor, queen and concubines.

Lin Yichen wanted to use himself to annoy the emperor and empress because Lu Yuanzheng didn't readily agree to his conditions, and made Lu Yuanzheng difficult?

Standing there, Lu Zhiyao began to guess secretly as if no one else was around.In this way, isn't the little bit of status that I finally gained in the Prime Minister's Mansion going to disappear again?

Just when Lu Zhiyao was so annoyed, Lin Yichen, who had remained silent all along, finally spoke again.

"Father, mother, and son-in-law have also heard some rumors about this Lu Zhiyao, but he is a little different from the other empresses."

"Oh? Then tell me." Lin Yunlong looked sideways at Lin Yichen. If he remembered correctly, Lin Yichen should have proposed to find this Lu Zhiyao, right?

"I heard that Lu Zhiyao is a lucky star."

As soon as Lin Yichen's words were uttered, not only the concubines couldn't help but chuckle, but also Lu Zhiyao couldn't stand it anymore.She couldn't stand the word "Fu Xing".

"Although her mother and elder brother are both dead, if she is really a broom star, it is impossible for the Xiangfu to be safe and sound for so many years. Two people died in the Xiangfu, but in exchange What matters is Father's trust in the prime minister. Father, you didn't like Lu Yuanzheng that much from the beginning, did you?"

"Well, indeed." Lin Yunlong nodded, lowered his eyes and smiled. "Then you mean, you chose her?"

The words of Lin Yichen and Lin Yunlong immediately quieted down the surrounding people, and also plunged Lu Zhiyao's mind into chaos.What does Lin Yichen mean?If you speak for yourself so openly, aren't you afraid of any opinions from the Ye family?Ye Lianrong's father, Ye Zhihua, is also a member of the prince's school.Now everyone means that the prime minister has no son because of himself as a bastard.But Lin Yichen's words made people think of Ye Lianrong.After all, Lu Yuanzheng now has a wife like Ye Lianrong, whether he can give birth to a son or not depends on Ye Lianrong's stomach, doesn't it?

"No, father, I brought her here for another reason." Lin Yichen shook his head, and said to Lin Yunlong seriously: "The eighth younger brother has always been in poor health. Concubine, Erchen remembered that the eighth brother lived alone outside the palace, and there was no one to take care of him, so he thought of this lucky star Lu Zhiyao. If she can accompany the eighth brother, then the eighth brother will be taken care of, and his body will also be healthy. It might get better, kill two birds with one stone, why not do it?"

Lin Yichen's words made Lin Yunlong smile involuntarily, and nodded in satisfaction. Lin Yunlong didn't expect Lin Yichen to be so caring. "Okay, good idea." Lin Yunlong nodded repeatedly.Say something that makes Lu Zhiyao want to bump his head to death. "Then according to your wishes, send Lu Zhiyao to your eighth brother."

What are you kidding? !Lu Zhiyao suddenly felt that the current state was far more dangerous and embarrassing for her than being besieged by these people.It is impossible for the crown princess to have hope. Among these people, there are many people who are more beautiful than herself, and there are many people who are more attractive to the queen than herself.But now, if he really went to that Lin Yinan's side, Lin Yinan would definitely think that he was Lin Yichen's eyeliner, and then his life would be really difficult.

Lu Zhiyao clenched her fists. With so many people watching, she didn't dare to resist and reject the kindness of the prince and the emperor.After all, although the eighth prince is not the prince, he is still deeply liked by the emperor, and he has the most supporters besides the prince. She can't be so ignorant.

Lu Zhiyao's mind was blank, she thought of many possibilities before coming here, but this one was something she never thought of.

Lin Yinan...

Lu Zhiyao lowered his head and closed his eyes, thinking of Lin Yinan's magnificent but slightly sickly face, he felt that the air suddenly became cold.

Lu Zhiyao didn't want to listen to what Lin Yichen and the others had to say, and just stood there in a daze until the emperor and queen got up and left, and the people around him dispersed one after another, then Lu Zhiyao raised his head feebly.

Coincidentally, she met Lin Yichen's probing gaze.Seeing Lin Yichen smile meaningfully at him, Lu Zhiyao turned around and left without saying a word.

Lu Zhiyao walked along the way he came here, striding forward alone, not caring what the people passing by would think of him, just walking forward.After seeing Lu Yuanzheng, Lu Zhiyao looked at him silently, not knowing what to say.

"What's wrong?" Lu Yuanzheng looked at Lu Zhiyao's strange expression, and asked nervously, "Is the emperor and queen angry?"

"No..." Lu Zhiyao shook his head, not knowing how to explain it.Could it be that she was going to say that she was pushed to the Eighth Prince's side by the Prince instead of being regarded as the Crown Princess?

Just when Lu Zhiyao was being questioned continuously by Lu Yuanzheng, someone came to rescue Lu Zhiyao.The soft voice sounded, and Lu Zhiyao saw that it was the eunuch who brought him into the palace at the beginning.

"Oh, my ancestor, why are you walking so fast? I chased after you and didn't catch up with you." The eunuch looked at Lu Zhiyao short of breath, wiped the sweat from his head and said, then looked at Lu Yuanzheng , with a smile all over his face, he said: "Congratulations, Prime Minister."

"Eunuch, what do you mean by this?" Lu Yuanzheng was at a loss. Could it be that the crown prince really likes his eldest daughter?

"The prime minister doesn't know yet?" The eunuch looked at Lu Yuanzheng, then at Lu Zhiyao, and said, "The emperor has agreed to give the eldest lady to the eighth prince. Although she is not the princess, it is a great thing ah!"

"Eighth, eighth prince?" Lu Yuanzheng didn't turn the corner all at once, what's going on?

"Thank you father-in-law for coming here." Lu Zhiyao had tried his best to calm down, walked to the eunuch, and gave him some money, "If it weren't for father-in-law, I might not have such good luck today. Down."

Lu Zhiyao's generous actions changed the eunuch's impression of her.Lu Zhiyao looked back at Lu Yuanzheng, who still had a stiff expression, and said with a smile, "Father, it's time for us to go home."

Lu Zhiyao sat in the sedan chair, touched his heart, and his heartbeat was still a little fast.

Biting his lower lip hard, Lu Zhiyao was thinking in a complicated mood, if Lin Yinan came to him, how should he explain to him.But when he thought of Xia Han in Lin Yinan's house, Lu Zhiyao couldn't help but feel a little happier.As long as I can be by Xiaohan's side, that's fine.Lin Yinan refused to give her back to him, so he should go to his side.

Back at the prime minister's mansion, Lu Zhiyao was eagerly questioned by Lu Yuanzheng about what happened.Lu Zhiyao looked at Lu Yuanzheng with an expression of disbelief, and smiled helplessly: "Father, that eunuch is right, the emperor agreed."
