The bustle of Yingxi Residence lasted until midnight. Jinxin could faintly hear the laughter and laughter coming from the other side, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
She simply stood up and stood in front of the window, looking at the lights that had not yet been turned off. Seeing that she was in a bad mood, Lianrong quickly poured her water.
"Master, don't be sad, it's better to go to bed early."
Lianrong really didn't know how to comfort her. At this moment, any words she said seemed pale, and saying too much would only lead to many mistakes.
"Concubine Lin is beautiful, has a good family background, has a good temperament, and is the queen's niece. From now on in this palace, the prince's heart will be devoted to her." Jin Xin looked bitter and smiled sadly. .
"Master, you will always have a place in the prince's heart. As long as you give birth to a child as soon as possible, the prince will still miss you, master, even for the sake of his little grandson." Lianrong advised.
Jin Xin sighed deeply and thought about it, it was indeed the case.
A beautiful face will eventually grow old. She is alone in this house and cannot rely on this face.
There wasn't much she could rely on.
She turned around and forced herself to sleep.
The next day was the day when Concubine Lin went to Qiluan Court to serve tea to the princess, and all the women had to go.
Jiang Yushu was dressed up, while Concubine Liu still looked calm, demure and gentle. There was no wave in her eyes, but she maintained a decent smile on her face.
Nowadays, there are only two concubines, Concubine He and Concubine Jin Xin. The former Concubine Chen was demoted to the rank of concubine and could only stand outside the door and was not qualified to enter.
After a while, Concubine Lin came over politely. After entering the door, she respectfully saluted the princess, "I, Mrs. Lin, pay my respects to the princess."
This etiquette is done correctly and is a great gift.
Jiang Yushu was stunned for a moment, thinking that she would come up to put on airs and overpower them with her status. Jiang Yushu had even prepared her words. Whenever she dared to do this, she would establish her authority.
But she didn't, which caught Jiang Yushu off guard.
After a while, she remembered to ask Concubine Lin to get up.
"Concubine Lin, please serve tea." The mother-in-law said and asked someone to bring a cup of tea.
Concubine Lin didn't make any unnecessary moves. She picked up the teacup, stepped forward respectfully and put her hands in front of her, waiting for Jiang Yushu to pick up the teacup and drink it.
Jiang Yushu said at this time, "Sister, I have something to say when I first come to the house. Although you were the princess before, now that you are married and become the prince's concubine, everything in the past will no longer be the same." It doesn’t matter, your identity is Prince Rui’s concubine. You should put the prince first in everything, be in harmony with your sisters, bear children for the prince, and assist the principal concubine in managing the backyard.”
It was a little difficult for Concubine Lin to maintain this posture, but she gritted her teeth and endured it, waiting for Jiang Yushu to pick up the tea cup.
"Also, in the past, no matter how you were at home, once you entered the palace, you had to obey the arrangements in everything. But don't be like the Gao family before, who contradicted everything, had no legitimate wife, and was jealous and domineering. It’s always better to be low-key as a person.”
Jiang Yushu was raising her family with every word, but her tone was warning every word. Even if Lin wanted to suppress her temper, she almost couldn't hold it in.
She lowered her head and pondered for a while, then raised her head again and said in a gentle voice, "Yes, I will remember the princess's teachings and will never forget them."
Jiang Yushu raised her head proudly, hummed indifferently, then gently stretched out her hand to take the cup of tea, took a sip, and then put it down.
"Sister, get up." Jiang Yushu smiled.
Then, the servant brought a tray, and Jiang Yushu picked up the item on the tray. It was a red gold bracelet, which was dazzling, shining with gold, and very exquisitely made.
Jiang Yushu was very willing, and she was even willing to marry her companion to Concubine Lin.
"I thank the princess for the reward." Concubine Lin said with a smile, stretched out her hand and asked the servant to put it on.
This face is really enough.
Later, Concubine Lin asked her servants to bring the prepared gifts, and with the introduction of the servants, she gave Concubine Liu, Concubine Jinxin, and Concubine He a gift respectively.
As for those who live with concubines, it doesn't matter whether they give it or not.
In this way, the ceremony is completed.
Afterwards, everyone went back to their respective courtyards. Jin Xin and Lin Fangfei happened to be in the same courtyard, so Lin Fangfei caught up with Jinxin and wanted to go with her.
Jin Xin frowned, although she was a little unhappy, but still waited for her for a while.
Concubine Lin stepped forward and smiled harmlessly, "Sister Jinxin is indeed extremely beautiful. Her appearance is comparable to the beauty of the country. No wonder the prince loves my sister so much."
Hearing this, Jin Xin hurriedly said modestly, "I don't dare to bear the title of sister by the side concubine. The side concubine can just call me by my name. When it comes to beauty, the side concubine is even more beautiful and dignified. Only the side concubine dares to call me sister." National color.”
Concubine Lin smiled brightly when she heard this and said, "Sister, why are you so nervous? I have never behaved myself. I see that my sister is a kind person, and we live in the same courtyard, so I want to get closer to her."
"Thank you, concubine, for not abandoning your maid."
"Then we are friends. If I don't understand something, sister can teach me and let's keep in touch." Concubine Lin looked very innocent. She actually walked up and put her arms around Jin Xin's arm. Walking forward.
Jin Xin looked at her hands and then at Concubine Lin, who seemed to be very innocent, with mixed emotions.
She was in the princess's room just now, and she clearly saw the fierceness in her eyes. In fact, she was about to have an attack, but finally endured it.
Jin Xin had an exquisite mind and could guess a person's emotions just by looking at their subtle expressions. Concubine Lin couldn't be as innocent as a child.
She was trained to be the mistress of the royal family since she was a child, and she grew up beside the queen. She must have been looking for a prince to be the royal concubine, but her age was not suitable. The princes were very different from her in age, and they would not wait for her to grow up. Married as a concubine, no matter how bad it is, she will still become the main wife of a powerful person.
How can a person who has been raised like this since childhood be really innocent?
Thinking like this, Jin Xin let go of her mood and smiled at Concubine Lin. It was all acting, and she could do it too.
For several days, the prince stayed with Concubine Lin. Jin Xin calmed down, and her place became cold. One can imagine how quiet other courtyards would be.
Jiang Yushu was going back to the Hou Mansion early in the morning, so she called Jin Xin to come too.
On the carriage back home, Jiang Yushu asked the doctor beside her to check Jinxin's pulse. The doctor looked at the pulse and shook his head, which immediately made Jiang Yushu's face cool.
"What's wrong with you? I've stopped taking this medicine for more than a month, why haven't you made any move yet?"
In front of Jiang Yushu, Jin Xin still pretended to be attentive, and said helplessly, "It's not like you can just get pregnant with a child. I'm in poor health, and I drank the pregnancy-inducing medicine, but I just couldn't get pregnant. "
It's only been a month, and she's thinking about being pregnant. She's only had one in three years, so how can she have the nerve to ask herself.
Jiang Yushu looked disgusted, "It's useless."
