Lin Zhu's performance not only attracted the attention of the emperor, but also the concubines and others in the harem. Whether it was true or not, everyone regarded Lin Zhu as the biggest contributor to Concubine Lan's change.
Now, because Concubine Lan is pregnant, the emperor has authorized the General's Mansion to send his own ingredients to Yuxiu Palace again, which shows the emperor's honor and favor. What's even more surprising is that the ingredients this time are different from before. They are all made in
Fresh vegetables and the like that are rare in early winter.
"How is this possible?" The Queen Mother heard the palace attendant's reply in her palace and said in shock. "Do you know where they got it from?" She calmed down and asked again.
"Back to the Empress, it is said that it was grown on a trial at a hot spring village. Empress Lan couldn't smell meat due to her pregnancy. Ever since she had this fresh food, she has felt much better every time she ate." said the palace official who went to inquire.
Also very surprised.
"Is this hot spring village related to the man named Lin Zhu?" Ever since the Queen Empress gave Lin Zhu a slap in the face when they first met, Lin Zhu rarely appeared in front of her. The second time he entered the palace, even if
When you come to pay your respects to the Queen, you are always respectful and follow the strictest rules, making it impossible to find any faults.
Because of this, the Empress never found an opportunity to embarrass Concubine Lan. When it was reported that Concubine Lan was lucky enough to be pregnant because of Lin Zhu, the Empress did not believe it and kept scoffing.
But Lin Zhu went to the palace to accompany Concubine Lan again, and her symptoms of pregnancy were relieved. Is it really because Lin Zhu is a lucky person?
After the harem, there are various rumors, and now some people are saying that if Lin Zhu is not a lucky person, when will he cultivate out-of-season vegetables? After all, she is not the only one who has a hot spring village.
Many royal nobles have one or more hot springs, all of which are used for recreation. The most famous hot spring is in the emperor's palace. Whenever there is an opportunity, the emperor will go to the palace to take a bath in the hot springs. According to the imperial doctor's opinion, soak in the hot springs.
A hot spring bath can not only revitalize qi and blood, but also relieve fatigue. It is most suitable for people like the emperor who work hard day and night.
Hot spring baths are also very beneficial to women. If you take a bath regularly, your skin will become smooth and delicate. Therefore, being able to accompany the emperor to the palace to bathe in hot springs is what every concubine likes and yearns for the most.
"I heard that in addition to the fresh ingredients sent to Yuxiu Palace, there is also a batch sent to Prince Qi's Zuixian Tower." Zuixian Tower has become famous now, and even in the harem, people are constantly talking about it.
.The Empress naturally also knows its origin.
"That girl actually knows Prince Qi?" This had to make the Queen Mother think a lot. Although Lin Zhu's beauty and appearance were not enough to meet the standards of a concubine in the harem, it was almost impossible to enter the palace and become the emperor's concubine.
But it did not prevent the emperor from giving her to a certain prince because he valued her.
The emperor is in the prime of life, and his brothers are even more powerful. Not to mention that among some of the princes, there are many young talents of the same age as her.
Lin Zhu is now in the limelight, and there will definitely be many people who are interested in her. If General Chang's Mansion works well, it will help them get help. If Concubine Lan gives birth to another prince, then what will happen to her?
His status in the palace will definitely rise to a higher level. It is also possible to be able to compete with him.
The Empress believes that with Lin Zhu's current status, it is not difficult to marry into a wealthy family. However, looking at the current situation, the emperor seems to have a special regard for her. With this advantage, she can marry into a relative of the emperor or a noble family.
It's also a piece of cake.
The Empress did not want Concubine Lan to grow stronger. Although Chang Tianlei was the only one left in the General's Mansion, because of General Chang's presence, his long distance would be unlimited. Plus Lin Zhu, I heard that
There is a little thing. If things continue to develop like this, the General's Mansion will definitely become a very stable support for Concubine Lan.
Therefore, the Empress does not want what she speculates to happen. She cannot control Chang Tianlei's affairs, but she still has some confidence when it comes to Lin Zhu. The Empress does not believe that if she secretly blocks Lin Zhu's marriage, she will still
Which royal family member or noble family would propose marriage to Lin Zhu.
"Go check and see if you can also learn how to grow vegetables in the hot spring village, and use the several villages at home by the way." The empress does not want Concubine Lan to be more beautiful than before. She can use these to help the emperor.
If you want to please someone in front of you, of course you can’t lag behind.
Word has spread throughout the palace that because the food served by Concubine Lan is fresh and delicious, the emperor has had lunch with her many times. This alone has made many concubines envious and jealous.
The Empress put Lin Zhu on the opposite side because of Concubine Lan, but the other concubines did not think so. Whether it was Concubine Lan or Concubine Lan, they all had a status in the emperor's heart that they could not compare with.
Even if they wanted to please the emperor, they would not trouble Lin Zhu at this moment. Moreover, many concubines who had never given birth wanted to let Lin Zhu live in their palace for a few days so that they could get involved too.
It is her good fortune to conceive a dragon and have a place in the harem one day.
Faced with the invitations of many concubines, Lin Zhu naturally could not agree. If there is one, there will be two. Going to whomever he goes to or not will offend others. Moreover, whether these concubines are pregnant or not, he can't let them go with him.
Living in the palace has nothing to do with it. What if she goes there and they don’t have any good news, and the blame is on her? She won’t find this uncomfortable?
She simply shied away from everyone. In addition, Concubine Lan had already adapted to the impact of pregnancy, both physically and mentally, so Lin Zhu's presence by her side was no longer of much use. She returned to the General's Mansion.
Lin Zhu became popular again. Not only her, but also the people in the General's Mansion were paying attention.
Lin Zhu originally wanted to hide in the village, but the food appreciation party will be held soon. Everyone in the general's mansion has long wanted to see the excitement, and of course Lin Zhu cannot be left out.
And Fu Dou'er also clamored for her to accompany him, because when he went to the palace, Fu Dou'er, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, always followed Lin Zhu closely in the past few days, fearing that he would not see her again for several days.
Seeing him like this, Lin Zhu understood in her heart that although everyone in the General's Mansion was very kind to him, he was raised by himself and must be the closest to him. If he didn't see him for a long time, he would not feel safe.
And General Chang also promised that she didn't have to agree to those unnecessary invitations. Frequently attending such occasions would inevitably give people a feeling of exaggeration, so it was better to keep a low profile.
Therefore, apart from occasionally caring about the out-of-season vegetables in the Zhuyuan, Lin Zhu just stayed in the general's mansion and spent a lot of time with Fu Dou'er until the food appreciation party began. (To be continued. If you like this work,
