Chapter 321: Being polite to grandparents and grandchildren
Author: Three Avocados
The emperor went to cure his hangover, and the queen mother wanted to return to the palace.
Everyone present was a little dizzy after eating so much yellow soup, so the Queen Mother thought about it and said.
"Well, in that case, the palace banquet is almost over. Concubine Yi, please send all the ministers out of the palace. Do you understand?"
Now that Concubine Yi is in charge of palace affairs, it would be appropriate to leave this matter to her.
Concubine Yi did not refuse, she immediately stood up and answered respectfully.
"Yes, I obey your orders."
The Queen Mother has spoken, and it is not appropriate for everyone to stay in the palace any longer.
After Concubine Qian helped the Queen Mother leave, everyone also dispersed.
Concubine Lin was not taken seriously when she was here, and she was also quiet when she left.
She was completely different from the arrogant person she was a year ago. This trip to Mount Tai really changed her mind a lot.
On the contrary, Lin Wanyi got a lot of limelight today.
After everyone was almost gone, she got up and walked to the main house and the Dong family.
"Grandpa, grandma, please forgive me, today's situation is special, Qianqian can't leave you to say anything. When my brother gets married, I, the emperor and several children will come to congratulate you."
"Don't worry, we still understand this. Just take care of yourself and the children in the palace."
The person who spoke was Mrs. Dong. She looked at Lin Wanyi with relief in her eyes.
I was also quite happy in my heart.
Uncle Lin and his wife who were standing next to them also expressed their stance and said hurriedly.
"It's a great joy for our family that the emperor and empress can come. We must make good arrangements."
Uncle Lin and his wife, who have separated their families, are now the ones in charge of the family, so naturally they have to be tough in their words.
After hearing their affirmative answers, Lin Wanyi felt relieved.
The young eunuch who was responsible for escorting the Dong family and the Lin family out of the palace had already been waiting here. He didn't say anything to urge him, but it was hard to keep him waiting like this.
So everyone bowed to Lin Wanyi and then slowly retreated.
Seeing that her family members were all gone, Lin Wanyi turned around and was about to leave, but was left behind by Prime Minister Lin.
"I have met my empress."
Lin Wanyi came back to her senses and looked at Mr. Lin, with complicated things in her eyes and heart.
It is true that the two of them are blood relatives, but they have rarely spoken to each other since they were young.
If Prime Minister Lin hadn't stopped her at this moment, Lin Wanyi might not have even noticed that he was still here.
But I still had to do what I was supposed to do, so I started talking.
"Master, there is no need to be polite."
Lin Wanyi had nothing important to say to him.
But when she saw Princess Rongkang's eyes staring at her not far away, she felt that it was a good thing to deliberately stay to anger her.
"I wonder what the prime minister wants to say by leaving me here?"
Prime Minister Lin had been an official in the court for decades, so he naturally knew that she was alienating him.
But he didn't care.
After all, based on his previous attitude towards everyone in the big house, he didn't think Lin Wanyi would be moved back by him in just a few words.
It was just for the future of the Lin family, so I reminded him kindly.
"Your Majesty is now the emperor's favorite, so naturally she wants to devote herself to the family and do her best for the clan. However, you must know that it is not a good thing to stand out too much. Be careful to make others jealous, and it will be troublesome if you make the whole family jealous."
Prime Minister Lin did not have any cowardice with Lin Wan.
Just talk directly when you come up.
And when he talks about being devoted to his family and doing his best for his people, he is naturally not talking about the Lin family, but the Dong family and Dafang.
Both of them knew this very well.
But this time, when Lin Wanyi looked at Prime Minister Lin, she could see that his eyes were a little more frank than before.
Because even if Prime Minister Lin didn't say this, Lin Wanyi was very aware of it.
Having been in the palace for so long and keeping a low profile, this is what I'm afraid of.
But now that the emperor's favor was blatant, what she had to do was not to be frightened, but to face it head on.
"Thank you, Mr. Prime Minister, for reminding me. I already know this matter well. The kindness of the Heavenly Family will fall on others even if it does not fall on the Dong family. If this is the case, then I would rather fall on the Dong family."
On top of that, after all, people’s hearts are biased, and they will pour their hearts into the people they care about, right?”
This remark was a pun, and Prime Minister Lin knew very well what Lin Wan meant.
However, for him, only he himself knows whether his preference for Xikuoyuan is because he likes Princess Rongkang and Second Master Lin or is greedy for power.
To Lin Wanyi, it wasn't that important anymore.
What she wants to protect is just the people in the big house and the Dong family.
Prime Minister Lin looked at her quietly for a moment, and then said calmly.
"That being the case, I wish you the best of luck to your Majesty."
"Inherit the good words of Prime Minister."
Grandfather and grandson were polite, as if they had just met each other.
Then you can take your sunny path and I can cross my single-plank bridge.
On the way home, Princess Rongkang couldn't hold it back anymore, so she asked Prime Minister Lin.
"Master Xiang, what do you mean by this? We are both granddaughters. How many times have you spoken to Yi Yatou, but I have never seen you paying attention to the imperial concubine! Is it possible that because she is no longer favored by the emperor, she has deliberately distanced herself like this?"
As for Concubine Lin, although she hates that iron cannot become steel, she is her direct granddaughter after all, so she still has to protect what should be maintained.
Prime Minister Lin closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing, and said something without any emotion.
"With you and Prince Zhan's family planning for the noble concubine, I can't miss these few words."
"What did the Prime Minister say? What are we planning for the Imperial Concubine? If it is true, why is it that the Emperor is not as affectionate to the Imperial Concubine as before? On the contrary, after this girl entered the palace, she stole a lot of the limelight from the Imperial Concubine. Now,
Look, they are all climbing on the head of the imperial concubine."
Probably she was facing someone close to her, so Princess Rongkang talked a lot.
Unfortunately, she made many mistakes.
She has been with Prime Minister Lin for decades, but she has not understood a single truth.
For Mr. Lin, usefulness is the only talisman; otherwise, even his own children can be discarded.
After hearing Princess Rongkang's words, Prime Minister Lin opened his eyes and took a look.
There was a faint sarcasm in his eyes.
"I know what you are planning with King Zhan, and I think the Emperor must also know it. We have been husband and wife for decades. I would like to advise you that there is a time in life that must be there, and there is no time in life. Don't force it, so as not to end up in a mess.
As a result, I’m afraid you won’t be able to bear it.”
A few words made Princess Rongkang's already bad face look even more ugly.
"What does the Prime Minister mean by this? Is it wrong for me to want to help my granddaughter? Or has the Prime Minister always viewed us this way?"
Unfortunately, it was useless no matter how anxious she was, so Prime Minister Lin didn't say another word during the rest of the way.
When we arrived at the gate of the house, we didn't get off the car, but went straight to another place.
Princess Rongkang was so angry that she started to get angry as soon as she entered the Prime Minister's Mansion.
