Then the fourth princess said to the emperor and Lin Wanyi.
"My wife will leave first."
"Well, mother, walk slowly."
"Concubine, please retire."
"My son, please retire."
Concubine Qiangui and Princess Mingruo also left Ruiyangxuan.
And the emperor knew that while he was here, the Lin family and the Dong family were also very reserved.
So he pulled the fourth prince and said.
"I heard that there are some new plays that have been arranged. Uncle Four Princes will definitely like to watch them. I will go with you and let the imperial concubine and her family have a good chat."
"Old minister, this is disrespectful."
Then the emperor turned to Lin Wanyi and said.
"I won't come over for dinner. I'll come back after seeing off the Fourth Uncle."
The tone in which he said this was very much like a husband giving instructions to his "wife" while away from home.
Lin Wanyi felt a little blushing, but when she thought about the emperor's style, she felt relieved.
"Well, I understand. Your Majesty and Uncle Fourth Prince will go slowly."
"I will respectfully send you off to the Emperor and the Fourth Prince."
As soon as they left, the children had to take a lunch break.
After everyone was sent away, only Lin Wanyi's closest family members were left in the main room.
Mrs. Dong saw no one else, so she lowered her voice and asked.
"Does your Majesty mean that he cares about our fifth prince?"
His eyes were full of joy and yearning.
In fact, it is not surprising that Mrs. Dong had such a reaction. The merchants were naturally a little embarrassed to see the prince arresting Zhou and the emperor's stance at such a close distance.
The uncle of the Dong family immediately glanced sideways and said in warning.
"As a woman, you are not allowed to talk nonsense. You and I can judge the important affairs of the government at will?"
Mrs. Dong immediately hissed and did not dare to say anything more.
On the other hand, Mrs. Dong patted Mr. Dong's shoulder. There was a bit of pity in his eyes, but he had to say it at this moment.
"When I go back, I will resign for my father's sake. As for you two brothers, think about it. Now that Qiuyue's marriage has been decided and Keli can also obtain fame. If our family still occupies the position and enjoys the power of a noble concubine, I'm afraid it will be a disaster."
Qian and the fifth prince are going to be in trouble."
When Mr. Dong said these words, he felt sad.
My children and grandchildren finally found a way out, but now they are gone.
The eldest son of the Dong family immediately understood what his father meant, and although the second son of the Dong family didn't quite understand it, for him, there was nothing special about this official position.
So, I don't really care.
After seeing his father express his position like this, he said solemnly.
"My eldest brother has done a good job in this position, so it is better for me to resign along with my father. After all, my son's abilities lie in the private sector. It would be more practical to go back to the medical clinic and take charge."
Seeing his younger brother expressing his views in this way, the Dong family's uncle was also grateful.
Obviously it was him, the older brother, who should express his position, but now his younger brother was allowed to speak before him.
So he looked at Mr. Dong and then said.
"The son understands what the father means. It's just Qiuyue's marriage, and some people need to support the scene. After her marriage is over, the son will resign immediately!"
Mr. Dong nodded, convinced of his eldest son's words.
The family has been together for so many years, and everyone knows what kind of person he is.
So everyone didn't have any objections to this.
Although Mrs. Dong felt it was a pity that she had managed to get the reputation of an official wife only to lose it so quickly.
But over the years, her father-in-law's decision has never gone wrong, so she followed it and did not dare to have any objections.
Seeing the Dong family's stance, the people in the Lin family's eldest house also understood a lot.
Lin Wanyi was the first to speak.
"Grandpa, it doesn't have to be like this. I don't think your Majesty is the kind of person who would let others sow discord, so you and your two uncles don't have to worry. You are just a good official. Why did you resign?"
Mrs. Dong didn't quite understand the power of it, so she followed suit.
"That's right. It's hard to get the official position. My father and two brothers should think about it again."
Not long after she spoke, she was blocked by Uncle Lin.
Then he bowed to the old man of the Dong family seriously and seriously.
"My father-in-law is so kind. He has worked so hard for his little daughter. My son-in-law can't repay him. In the future, he will definitely be filial to his two elders and help each other with his two brothers-in-law. The same goes for the children. Whether it's Keli, Qiulan, or Qiuyue, I will be my father-in-law."
Treat biological children as normal! Never let them suffer!"
Uncle Lin's words made the old man of the Dong family very happy.
After all, it was natural for him to be kind to his granddaughter. His son-in-law could sense the meaning and gave such an answer, which made him happy in his heart.
As a family, you help me and I help you.
Only in this way can we go a long way.
This is the case for the Lin family and the Dong family!
Lin Xingzhi is not stupid. If he still can't see the reason behind this situation, then his head will be in vain.
After thinking about it over and over again, something came up.
Mr. Dong saw it at a glance and stopped him immediately.
"The reason why we old guys don't go to the imperial court is to give you young people more room to show their talents. In the future, the gates of the Lin family and the Dong family will depend on you. Mu Zhi and Keli will support you, so no matter what, we can
Hold on, do you understand?"
"The more stable your foundation in the court is, the more confident Qianqian and the children will be. Mu Zhi and Keli will naturally join the court as officials after the scientific examination. As for how far they can achieve it,
That is their own destiny, but if you three brothers stand up, Qianqian's life in the harem will be much easier."
Mr. Dong explained with seriousness and sincerity.
Not to mention Lin Xingzhi, even Feng felt moved after hearing this.
If they can have elders who care about them like this, no matter where they go in the future, they will be there for a long time.
Lin Xingzhi and Lin Wanyi looked at each other, and both of them knelt down and worshiped Mr. Dong.
"I can't do it, I can't do it! Qianqian is a noble concubine now!"
The Dong family members hurriedly came up to help, but Lin Wanyi insisted on doing so.
"My granddaughter is kowtowing to her grandfather today, not Dong Zhengshi, so it doesn't matter whether she is a noble concubine or not. Your old man is so kind to us, and my granddaughter doesn't know what to say. She will be safe and sound. I'm still waiting to give you some advice."
I wish you a 100th birthday."
Hearing this, everyone laughed.
Mr. Dong is now sixty-five years old. He still has more than thirty years to live before his 100th birthday.
He didn't know whether he could survive or not.
But it was a good wish anyway, so he smiled and nodded.
"Wouldn't it be great? My great-great-grandson can also see it."
With love beyond words, Lin Wanyi and her brother Lin Xingzhi kowtowed to Mr. Dong.
