Rebirth of the Phoenix

Chapter 18

In fact, Lin Yuchan didn't ask Fei to go up the mountain of swords and into the sea of ​​fire, but just asked her to collect some orchids every day in the future.Unexpectedly, it was just like this, which frightened Fei into such a state.

In her previous life, Lin Yuchan got two prescriptions by chance, both of which were used for a long time and could make the human body spontaneously have a strange fragrance.

One is to take the flowers when they are in full bloom, remove the stems, put them in a cloth bag, and put them in an urn for storage.After half a month, take it out, add one liang of licorice and ten salted plums for every twelve liang, and grind it into powder, and put it into a porcelain bottle.Take a little with boiled water after every meal, it can make the skin white and moist, and send out the fragrance of flowers.

The other is to make flower porridge.After mashing the flowers, stir in the petals and salt them for later use.Put the cooked porridge into a small pot and bring to a boil, add shallots, a little sesame oil, and pepper, and boil over low heat until it becomes thin, then pour in the salted flowers, and it can be eaten after it is out of the pot.Its color is bright red, and its taste is delicious and refreshing.

Just now, Lin Yuchan asked Fei Shi to send someone to collect orchid petals. From now on, she would take these things every day. In addition, Lin Yuchan also ordered Fei Shi to add orchids to the hot water she used when she bathed in the future. petals.

Although calculated in this way, the demand for orchid petals will not be low, but Dingguo's mansion is not an ordinary family, and it can fully afford Lin Yuchan's expenses.

As for Yang Shi, although she likes orchids, she has not reached the point where she regards them as humiliating.Compared with her own children, Yang Shi certainly values ​​her children more. Lin Yuchan is sure that Yang Shi will not object.

The only troublesome thing is how to explain to Yang Shi where he got the prescription from, but it is not difficult.Just find a plausible reason, and Yang will not go to the bottom of it.

Lin Yuchan has always liked to be prepared when doing things.Now that she has decided to enter the palace, Lin Yuchan naturally has to make complete preparations, and do her best to prepare for everything that will help her in the future.

Helping Yang to become the mistress of Dingguo's mansion, that's it!

Let yourself wear a strange fragrance, the same is true!

At any rate, they have been together day and night for decades, and Lin Yuchan knows what her future husband likes, not to mention, at least eight or nine points.Orchids are that person's favorite flower!

What's good in the top, what's in the bottom!

In order to meet their preferences, the women in the harem are full of tricks. There are potted orchids in the palace, rare species are planted in the garden, orchid patterns are embroidered on the veils, and orchid-shaped headdresses are already commonplace. up.

At the back, some people thought of ingenuity and succeeded by surprise!

I remember that many years later, there was a woman who could only be regarded as delicate in appearance, but because of the fragrance of orchids on her body, she was favored for a while in front of that person.

It's a pity that he was too arrogant and offended people who couldn't be offended, so he quickly disappeared in the harem.

If that woman had been smarter back then, she wouldn't have dared to claim the position of fourth concubine, but among the nine concubines, she must have had a place.

Later, Lin Yuchan got these two prescriptions by chance, and once doubted whether the fragrance on that woman's body was innate.I have also been tempted and wanted to try it, but neither of these two prescriptions can be effective in a short time. Not to mention the time and effort, Lin Yuchan herself is still a proud person, and her pride also prevents her from being someone else's. shadow.

Therefore, Lin Yuchan put the matter down.

Later, when Lin Yuchan became the queen mother, there was no need to do such things to compete for favor.

But it doesn't make sense to say that now.

Lin Yuchan just thought of this suddenly, and felt that it would be good to increase her bargaining chips and suppress future opponents by the way. It would kill two birds with one stone.

After all, Lin Yuchan entered the palace before that woman, so it is clear at a glance who is the genuine version and who is the pirated version!If after Lin Yuchan, that woman thinks that she has the scent of orchids on her body to compete for favor, she will be laughable and generous.And after excluding the scent on her body, Lin Yuchan didn't think that woman would be able to be favored like in her previous life just by relying on her pretty face.

Fei's work was still quick, and that night, Lin Yuchan ate rice porridge.Although Fang Zi had been in Lin Yuchan's hand for a long time, it was the first time that he had actually seen the real thing. The first taste was a bit weird, but after two sips, Lin Yuchan felt that it was not so unbearable.

After finishing the flower porridge, Lin Yuchan handed the bowl to Chunhua to clean up, and then rinsed her mouth under Qiushi's service. Afterwards, Fei walked for half an hour in the small garden in the bamboo courtyard before going back to rest.

The next day was the day to greet Mrs. Xin, so Lin Yuchan got up earlier than usual. After getting dressed, she went to the main room to greet Mrs. Yang.

Lin Yuhui was used to getting up to read in the morning, so he came earlier than Lin Yuchan.Seeing Lin Yuchan approaching, the brother and sister greeted each other.

Last night, Lin Chengmao did not spend the night in the bamboo courtyard, but slept alone in the pine courtyard of the main courtyard.Recently, the situation in the court has been tense, and Lin Chengmao has also been greatly affected. How can he still be in the mood to be romantic?That is, I went to see Mrs. Yang occasionally.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Mrs. Yang checked again to see that there were no omissions before leading everyone out.Even Lin Yuwan, who couldn't walk yet, was carried by the nanny Yu Shi, and went out together.

Mrs. Xin has been living in seclusion since a year ago, devoting herself to eating vegetarian food and reciting Buddha's name. Even the daily greetings of the juniors have been changed to once every ten days.

It stands to reason that, as a concubine, Yang is not qualified to pay Mrs. Xin's greetings directly no matter how much she is favored. The normal procedure is that Yang should first take Lin Yuchan and three brothers and sisters to the Orchid Court to pay respects to Mrs. Lu , and then led by Mrs. Lu to Mrs. Xin's Meiyuan.

Other people, like Li Shi, Chen Shi and others, are the same, they have to go to the Orchid Court to see Lu Shi first.

This is Lu's decency and rights as a wife!
But then again, the rules are not set in stone.

A few years ago, Lin Chengmao's backyard was in chaos, and Mrs. Xin saw it all. She knew exactly what everyone did!That's why after the Yang family was pushed out, Lu's power was divided with heavy hand.

She no longer has two grandchildren, and if she doesn't act anymore, is she going to watch her son die and Dingguo's mansion have no successors? !
If it weren't for some people who have gone too far and exceeded her bottom line, no matter how much Mrs. Xin likes Yang Shi, no matter how good her relationship with Yang Shi is, she would not be able to help her son's concubine suppress her decent daughter-in-law !Isn't this out of order?

After all, when Lin Chengmao's backyard became like that, Mrs. Xin felt that she had some responsibilities, so when Lu Shi, Li Shi, and Chen Shi were fighting each other, she didn't take action at the first time, but she didn't expect that later Things were going to be that serious, and by the time she realized it, it was already too late.

So Mrs. Xin quickly cut through the mess, divided Lu's power, and elevated Yang's.In this way, Mrs. Lu is the main wife and has a family background, but she is not favored and has no sons. Mrs. Yang is a concubine and has no power behind her, but she has a son. Neither of them can do anything to the other.There are Li Shi and Chen Shi, both of whose family backgrounds are not considered prominent, one has only a weak and sickly daughter, and the other is empty below the knees, just sandwiched between Lu Shi and Yang Shi, balancing one or two.

Lin Chengmao's backyard was finally calmed down.

And now, the reason why Mrs. Yang was able to directly greet Mrs. Xin was also one of the means used by Mrs. Xin to suppress Mrs. Lu.Not only the Yang family, but also the Li family and the Chen family, as well as the remaining lowly concubines such as the Zhang family and the Jiang family. Mrs. Xin has clearly informed the whole house several years ago that she will come to pay her respects in the future. You don't need to go through Lu's again, you can come here directly.

Of course, you can come directly at any time, but whether Mrs. Xin is willing to meet is another matter.

But even so, Lu Shi's complexion at that time was very ugly, which trampled on her dignity as a regular wife!Thinking about what Mrs. Xin did after Mrs. Lu came in, it's no wonder Mrs. Lu always got into trouble with Mrs. Xin.

Mrs. Yang didn't arrive early. After all, Mrs. Xin's Meiyuan is closer to Mrs. Li's Chrysanthemum Yard and Mrs. Chen's Lotus Yard, so when Mrs. Yang came over, these two people had already chatted with Mrs. Xin. up.

But even though Mrs. Li and Mrs. Chen tried their best to flatter Mrs. Xin, Mrs. Xin immediately put them aside as soon as Mrs. Yang came.Do not misunderstand!Mrs. Yang doesn't have such great charm. Although she was brought up by Mrs. Xin, she is not a mother and daughter. How can she have such a big face? !
The one who really has this face is Lin Yuhui!This is the lifeblood of Mrs. Xin.

As soon as she saw Lin Yuhui coming in, the most direct expression of Mrs. Xin was that the corners of her mouth rose five degrees, and a few more wrinkles appeared on her face. Before Lin Yuhui could finish inviting Ann, she immediately called out, asking Lin Yuhui to come She comes.

Of course, it is impossible for Lin Yuhui to really not ask for peace. If he climbs up the pole at this time, it will really be a stick!

Lin Yuhui invited Ann together with Yang Shi and Lin Yuchan, including Lin Yuwan, who was still unable to move independently, and Yu Shi also invited Ann together.Afterwards, Lin Yuhui stepped forward, while Yang Shi and Lin Yuchan stood aside without any surprise, pretending to be wallflowers.

As long as Lin Yuhui appeared, Mrs. Xin couldn't see others in her eyes, and they were all used to it.In the eyes of Mrs. Xin, Lin Chengmao is undoubtedly the first, followed by Lin Yuhui, Lin Yuting is probably the third, and the rest are almost passers-by.

Li Shi and Chen Shi saw this situation, although it was not the first time, they were still a little bit aggrieved in their hearts.At the same time, I couldn't help but feel a little sad. If their son was still there, how could it be Lin Yuhui's turn to take the lead? !

Especially Chen, her son has been raised to three years old, he can run and dance!Unlike Mrs. Li, she also has a daughter as a consolation, and her body is too much mourned, so she can no longer bear children. It can be said that this life is over, and the rest of the days can only be endured, so seeing such a picture, I feel even more It's dazzling!
