Although she called her sister, her status was here, and Jin Xin couldn't really treat her as her sister, so she still stood up and saluted.
Concubine Lin smiled and gave her a hand.
"Why don't you two sisters talk? Do you not want to see me?" Concubine Lin opened her eyes wide and looked at the two of them innocently.
"Sister, you are worrying too much. It's just that the wind and snow are so heavy today, and you are so delicate, why are you here like this?" Concubine Liu was the first to ask.
"Didn't sister come here during the snowstorm? I live in this courtyard, and I'm closer to sister Jinxin." Concubine Lin said with a smile.
The servant brought a chair with soft cushions, and Concubine Lin immediately wanted to sit down. Jin Xin hurriedly stepped forward to support Concubine Lin, and then looked at Qiu Ling, "Foolish thing, Concubine Concubine has a noble body, so naturally she wants to sit down." Sit in the first place and go down and slap your mouth yourself."
When Concubine Lin heard this, she immediately smiled and said, "I just came to see my sister, why should I be so serious."
"It's okay if the concubine doesn't blame me." Jin Xin said with an embarrassed smile.
She didn't blame herself for being cautious, but the concubine Lin gave her the feeling that she was here with bad intentions, and her thoughts and personality were even more difficult to figure out than Jiang Yushu's. She didn't know what she didn't do well, and if she used it as an excuse, it would be enough for her to suffer. of.
Concubine Lin smiled faintly, looked up at the furnishings in Jinxin's room, and sighed, "The prince really loves sister Jinxin. These gauze curtains are all made of Yueying gauze. Only the princess and I have this material in the palace. We don't have it." I think Sister Jinxin also got a share."
It seems unintentional, but in fact it means that Jinxin has gone beyond his duty.
"This is a reward from the prince. I am so ignorant that I didn't realize that this material was so precious. I went beyond my duty. It's my fault. Lianrong, please change the gauze curtain in a moment." Jin Xin said hurriedly.
This was so easy to change that Concubine Liu glanced sideways at Jin Xin.
Is she stupid or intentional? What will happen if she doesn't change the things the prince gave her? Concubine Lin just mentioned it and made a sarcastic comment. She just pretended not to hear. Why should she be in trouble with Concubine Lin on her face?
Concubine Lin heard the words, but her face remained the same, and asked, "Sister, it is really not suitable for me to use this. At home, my parents value rules the most. I was born in the Duke's palace, and my grandfather also values rules the most. That's why I have my aunt." Such a woman who is devoted to the world, has such a good family education, so I will remind my sister out loud that she must not forget her identity."
When Jin Xin heard this, she knew the purpose of Concubine Lin's coming here. She immediately stood up, crouched down and said, "My maid, please remember Concubine Lin's teachings."
Let's just say that she is not such a docile and lovely person. She has been pretending to be innocent for a month, but now she shows her true nature here.
Fortunately, Jin Xin was very polite and cautious when interacting with her these days, and made no big mistakes.
This warm and soft look made Concubine Lin feel bored. She looked at Concubine Liu and said, "Sister Liu's family is engaged in business, and she also controls the trade routes of the rivers in Yingchuan of China, and almost controls the merchant ships of the entire water transport of China. Route, I really envy my sister. She was born into such a family and has gained a lifetime of wealth. No wonder Sister Jinxin wants to be on good terms with you."
What he said was so strange that Jin Xin frowned and Concubine Liu was even more puzzled, but she just smiled weakly.
"Who in the world doesn't love money? Without money, who would be willing to do things for us?" Liu Fangfei said.
"But sister, you know that no matter how much money you have, in terms of background, you are still at the bottom of the class. Even sister Jinxin's status, even though she is a concubine, is much higher than sister Liu."
"Concubine Lin, what exactly do you want to say?" Concubine Liu was angry and didn't want to continue to do superficial things at all.
"I just came to talk to my sisters, just casually. I thought Sister Liu understood me, but I didn't expect that you couldn't understand me at all. But Sister Jinxin, as soon as I said that, she You can understand what I mean. After all, he is from a noble family and can resonate with me."
This is because Concubine Liu is too low-key and petty, so she uses Jinxin to criticize Concubine Liu.
Concubine Liu did not want to make enemies, nor did she want to wrong herself. As a concubine, she was not lower than Concubine Lin, so she naturally did not want to make any gestures of weakness.
But Jin Xin's low profile just now made Concubine Lin very proud, as if she was competing for an item and she won, which made Concubine Liu extremely unhappy.
"I'm afraid Concubine Lin doesn't know that Concubine Jiang entered the house as a servant of the Hou Mansion before. She was just a thing and was sent to the master's bed. However, it was only later that she was promoted to the aunt as her biological mother. , Concubine Lin, don’t promote the wrong person.”
Concubine Liu said, then stood up and went out.
Seeing this, Jin Xin wanted to get up and stop her, but Concubine Lin was here. If she went, she would offend Concubine Lin in front of her. If she didn't go, Concubine Liu would misunderstand that she was a duplicitous person. .
Liu Fangfei held her own handle, she didn't want to fall out with Liu Fangfei.
But Concubine Liu was so determined to leave that she went out without even putting on her cloak.
Seeing this, Concubine Lin stood up and stepped forward, holding Jin Xin's hand, "Sister Jinxin, isn't it better for you to be on good terms with me than with Concubine Liu?"
Jin Xin frowned, "I really don't understand Concubine Lin's words."
Seeing that she was still so unreasonable, Concubine Lin was too lazy to pretend and let go of her hand.
"You are the prince's concubine. I don't want to be against you, but they all regard me as water and fire. If they don't treat me well, that's it. They are just some unimportant characters. Concubine Liu is naturally also valued by the prince. She is a woman, but she is just a chess piece. You are different. You have no background, but the prince only loves you. Naturally, I am one with the prince, and I hope he is happy, so I hope you will not be ignorant of praise."
It turned out that he was trying to win over himself.
"I heard that Concubine Lin admired the prince very much when she was at home. How could you tolerate having a caring person by his side?" Jin Xin asked curiously.
Hearing this, Concubine Lin chuckled and said, "There is nothing I can't bear. You are just a concubine. No matter how favored you are, you will never have a big future."
There was ambition in her eyes. When she said these words, she seemed to have forgotten that she was also a concubine. Even if she slept with Yudie, she was still a concubine.
Jin Xin didn't speak, and Concubine Lin finished what she wanted to say.
Finally, she said to Jin Xin again, "Sister Jin Xin, I really admire you, and I hope you don't make the wrong choice."
After saying that, he left.
Jin Xin looked solemn and still couldn't understand why Concubine Lin wanted to win over her. As she said, she was just a concubine with no background and no future.
She could just be her concubine quietly, what was it worth for her to spend so much time walking around the courtyards.
Really unable to figure it out, Jin Xin could only stop thinking about it.
In the evening, the servant came again to send a message, asking her to serve in the study.
Jin Xin also found out after staying in this mansion for several months. It seemed that she was the only one who went to the study to serve her. Even if Concubine Lin came to the mansion and became favored, she never went to the study.
Thinking of this, Jin Xin actually had some expectations in her heart. Perhaps, the prince treated her differently after all.
