Seeing Tang Yulan walk away in anger, Chu Nanzhi and Lin Jinshu immediately came to their senses and comforted the frightened concubine.
At this time, Ji Fanyin had a splitting headache and hugged the corner of the stone table, shouting with a ferocious face: "My child, my child."
Lin Jinshu was overwhelmed with anxiety and hurriedly knelt down to grab Ji Fanyin and comforted softly: "Aunt, it's okay, it's okay, uncle and Brother Wang will be back sooner or later."
Then he anxiously called the maid to summon the imperial doctor.
When Chu Nanzhi saw this, she hurriedly knelt down and looked at the concubine's painful expression. She located the Dazhui point and slowly started to press it for her.
Then he pointed at two acupoints, Chengqi point and Hegu point, and asked Princess Shu and the maids to help press them.
After pressing for a period of time, Ji Fanyin's excited emotions gradually calmed down a lot. She just huddled in Lin Jinshu's arms and kept sobbing, still mumbling about her child.
This scene made Chu Nanzhi even more worried.
She even began to think about what would happen to the quadruplets and the fetus in her belly if she and the pretty boy died at the hands of political opponents in the future.
Presumably this is one of the reasons why the ancestor must have arranged for him to come over to visit the concubine.
She clenched her fist secretly, and silently reaffirmed her determination in her heart to help the pretty boy successfully enter Jinling City at all costs.
Only by firmly grasping the initiative can you not only control the destiny of others, but also determine your own destiny.
After teaching several massage acupuncture points to the maids around the concubine, Chu Nanzhi personally took care of the concubine to have a rest, and then followed Lin Jinshu to the front hall of Zhaochun Palace.
Just when he was about to return to the main hall, Lin Jinshu suddenly stopped, frowned and reminded: "If you can let Princess Qinghe go to the concubine's yard to visit, it must be the one from Yong'an Palace who has come over. Nan Zhi, you will be here later."
You have to deal with it carefully."
Chu Nanzhi knew that she was referring to the Queen Mother. The woman who rose to the throne with her humble status as a concubine and set the precedent of taking concubines as wives was now even more honored and pampered. She couldn't wait to become the Queen Mother.
I want to meet this prestigious woman.
"Don't worry, princess, I have my own sense of discretion."
Chu Nanzhi replied with a full smile.
Although she had just kicked her daughter-in-law, it was entirely Tang Yulan's fault, and the Queen Mother would not make a fuss about it.
As for the affairs in the court, they are already in chaos anyway. Since they are scheming against each other, let each of them rely on his own ability.
Lin Jinshu looked at her calm demeanor. She really didn't look like a country girl who came out of the village. Her calm temperament was more like an old man who had experienced strong winds and waves, which undoubtedly made her feel lonely.
It was a great relief.
She suddenly had greater confidence in stabilizing the situation in Jingling City.
Lin Jinshu happily took her arm, and with a smile on his face, he entered the main hall with her.
At this time, many people had gathered in the main hall of Zhaochun Palace. Except for familiar faces such as Lin Luotong, Lin Luoxuan, and Tang Yulan, there was a woman wearing a purple gown sitting directly beside Yin Enci. She was dressed in jewels and looked graceful and luxurious.
The figure was surrounded by several maids, and Chu Nanzhi immediately guessed that this person was the Queen Mother Tian Yuchan.
I heard that this person was only the same age as the crazy concubine, but she looked as charming as a young lady in her early twenties.
As soon as she went up and bowed to salute, Tian Yuchan hurriedly got up and came over, took her arm with enthusiasm, and praised her with a smile: "This is our nephew-in-law who is famous throughout the Dahe Empire. Sure enough,
She has the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix, which makes people like her very much."
"The Queen Mother is so complimentary."
Chu Nanzhi looked at her hypocritical face and smiled politely: "I am just a country woman, how can I dare to be so favored by the Queen Mother?"
The second eldest princess, Lin Luoxuan, was very dissatisfied as she listened and snorted disdainfully: "Princess Pingning is somewhat self-aware, but she didn't know that she also had this kind of awe in Princess Ji's yard just now."
"Ahem, Luo Xuan, don't talk nonsense."
Tian Yuchan glanced coldly at Tang Yulan, who had a gloomy face at the side. When her eyes fell on Chu Nanzhi, she replied with a smile:
"Yu Lan is a stupid and honest girl. She doesn't speak properly. She was originally thinking that she had not returned to the capital for many years, so she asked her to visit the concubine on behalf of King Qinghe. Unexpectedly, she bumped into the concubine. Our ancestors did not blame her.
I can’t thank you enough.”
"The Queen Mother's words are wrong. The Dowager has an unstable temperament now. Princess Qinghe is kind enough to visit her, so how can she quarrel with the Dowager?"
The eldest princess Lin Luotong also stood up and glared at Chu Nanzhi fiercely: "Princess Pingning should not insult the prince and concubine no matter what."
"Insult?"
Lin Jinshu looked at Lin Luotong with a sneer: "Auntie, Princess Qinghe deliberately angered the concubine today. If my sister-in-law hadn't come to the rescue, she would have been buried in the concubine's courtyard."
After a pause, she simply said bluntly: "Everyone is not clear about the condition of the concubine. If you don't go to visit her intentionally, why bother to pretend to be benevolent, make yourself uncomfortable, and make everyone's faces look ugly."
"I……"
Tang Yulan curled her lips and was about to refute, but was immediately stopped by the Queen Mother:
"What Princess Shu said is absolutely true. The Ai family is not thoughtful enough."
Tian Yuchan had already swallowed her bad breath, and did not want to break up with people like Zhaochun Palace over such a trivial matter. She deliberately smiled and flattered Chu Nanzhi and said, "Niece-in-law, don't worry about this."
"The Empress Dowager speaks harshly."
Chu Nan smiled but looked at the two eldest princesses meaningfully: "How dare you, a junior, argue with your elders."
Yin Enci kept a cold face, knowing that these people gathered in Zhaochun Palace had no good intentions, so she smiled lightly and gestured to everyone: "Everyone, please take a seat."
After listening to their ancestor's words, the two eldest princesses did not dare to do anything wrong again, so they had to sit down obediently.
Since returning to Beijing, these two people have witnessed with their own eyes a series of generous rewards given by their ancestors to Lin Jinxiao's poor family, and they feel very unsatisfied.
After pondering for a long time, the eldest princess Lin Luotong said cautiously: "Just now, I heard in the palace that our ancestors and Your Majesty were going to add titles to the Lin family in Luyan Gang. This time, they even included the lowly Shen family in Tong'an Village.
I was also granted the title of Marquis, and my daughter-in-law thought about it and felt that my ancestor's move was very inappropriate."
Carefully observing Yin Enci's face, and seeing that the ancestor showed no abnormality, he continued with relief: "The original wife of the eldest son of the Shen family has passed away, the head of the family has also died, and all that is left is a concubine.
How can a concubine afford such a prestigious title as Marquis?"
Yin Enci was not allowed to answer, but the words of the eldest princess directly aroused the dissatisfaction of the Queen Mother Tian Yuchan:
"I've heard a little bit about the Shen family. Shen Yang was originally forced into the family as a concubine. She has always been gentle and virtuous. She has been invited into the family tree by the Shen family and made the main wife. The young man of the Shen family Jun Geng is the only son of the eldest son, and the Han family was adopted into his name when he was still alive. Therefore, he can naturally afford the title and salary of this marquis."
After saying this, he rolled his eyes at the two eldest princesses very displeasedly.
When these two people talk like this, don't they look down on themselves and question their current status?
