Chapter 210
"I heard that the second lady and Aunt Wen have consummated their marriage."
Cuiqin went back to Lin Mansion to meet her family.
Her family is now well-respected, and of course she knows a lot about the Lin family.
Cuiqin talked a lot in bits and pieces, and finally talked about Lin Yunjiao.
She also said: "But the second lady's mother-in-law is a powerful person. I heard that the second lady quarrels with her every day."
Lin Yunwan put down the account book in her hand and became a little interested.
"She still dares to contradict her mother-in-law? She's very courageous."
Due to the pressure of filial piety, even if Lin Yunjiao went home and cried, no one in the Lin family would speak for her.
Now that Zheng has no room to speak, who can she rely on?
Cuiqin sighed: "That's right. I heard that after returning to my parents' home a few times, the master helped the second young lady to talk at first, but then stopped going. When the second young lady came back, he drove her back."
Xiruo has also dealt with Lin Yunjiao and knows what kind of person the second young lady is.
She said disdainfully: "I can't help the second young lady to speak for those things she did!"
Cuiqin said in confusion: "I heard that the second young lady had a quarrel with my wife when she came back. After the quarrel, I never saw my wife again. When I got home, I only went to see the master."
Lin Yunwan and Xiruo looked at each other.
Xiruo smiled: "It seems that the wife has suffered the consequences!"
"I originally wanted to harm the princess, but I didn't expect to harm my own daughter. Now that the second lady knows the truth, she must hate the second wife to death."
Cuiqin has heard so much about Zheng and her daughter in the Lin family that she is tired of hearing about it.
"Slave, go out and bring in a basin of charcoal."
There was heavy snow outside, but it was very warm inside the house. After burning for most of the day, the charcoal was almost running out.
As soon as Cuiqin went out, Ah Fu came.
He came in and said: "Princess, the prince said that my uncle would like to invite you to dinner and asked you to dress up."
Qi Lingheng was in the Yamen at this time.
Xiruo opened the curtain and went out and asked, "Is the prince coming back?"
"The prince said it was too late to come back, so he asked the princess to go first. The prince will take the lead from the Yamen to the Zhao Mansion."
"knew."
Xiruo went in and took the stove, put it into Ah Fu's hand, and said, "You're cold. Sit down and have a cup of tea to warm yourself up!"
Ah Fu hugged the stove and said with a smile: "I won't drink the hot tea. Princess, I'll leave."
Lin Yunwan responded inside.
On the table are all the account books of the palace, which were moved together from the palace in the capital and fill a room full of them.
Xiruo bent down to pack a few books and said, "You can read it another day!"
Lin Yunwan nodded, looking a little worried.
The palace's account cannot be said to be bad, but it is not what she wants.
The prince has no wife, and no one can really take care of the internal affairs. It is normal that he is not good enough.
"That's enough. Don't wear this hairpin anymore."
Lin Yunwan sat in front of the bronze mirror, feeling that there was no need to dress too solemnly.
Cuiqin hesitated while holding the green hairpin: "But the prince said that you are as bright as the morning sun, so you have to dress up to look good."
"Your Majesty said so? Why didn't I know?"
Lin Yunwan was a little surprised.
Cuiqin put the hairpin on Lin Yunwan's hair and said with a smile: "The prince said it, but he didn't say it in front of you."
Just one day, she casually said it to her personal maid.
Lin Yunwan was in a good mood, with a smile on her face when she went out.
The servant hitched up the carriage, and she went out through the front door and saw another carriage parked at the door.
"Why is the prince's carriage here?"
Lin Yunwan walked down the steps in the snow, with the girl supporting her.
Qi Lingheng got out of the carriage and came over to hold her hand.
"Aren't you going to come back?"
Lin Yunwan was very surprised.
Qi Lingheng was waiting for her to look like this, and said with a low smile: "I asked Ah Fu to lie to you."
After getting on the carriage, Lin Yunwan looked a little helpless: "How old are you, and you are still joking with me."
Qi Lingheng ordered the carriage to go, leaned in the carriage, and said with a faint smile: "Why, you are allowed to tease me, but I can't tease you?"
"When will I tease you..."
Lin Yunwan suddenly remembered that when the prince came to her house for the first time, she knew that he was an extraordinary person and asked him, "Which family are you a kid from? Why did you sneak into my house?" and asked him if he was a thief. .
He even looked up at her and stood on the steps refusing to admit defeat, saying that he was the prince and the emperor's legitimate son.
But he no longer has the arrogance that he used to have as a nobleman of the heavenly family who doesn't take others seriously.
"Your Majesty is too vindictive."
Lin Yunwan pursed her lips and smiled.
"I've always been like this."
Qi Lingheng held her hand and asked slowly: "So tell me, what wrong did you suffer in the Lin Mansion?"
Lin Yunwan was stunned.
Although I don’t know which thing he mentioned, why is he still thinking about it?
Qi Lingheng reminded her: "On the day you and I got married, I thought something was wrong with you. We've been married for more than a month, and you haven't even mentioned it to me, Princess."
Lin Yunwan smiled lightly: "It's just a small matter, nothing for you to worry about."
Qi Lingheng's voice was gentle and low: "Yun Wan, I want to worry about you."
Lin Yunwan looked at him intently and looked away with a blush.
I really don’t know how he has the nerve to say such things so often...
The carriage and horses were moving slowly, and Lin Yunwan also held his hand tightly, interlocking with her husband.
When they arrived at Zhao's house, the couple let go.
"It's hard for the prince and princess to come here in the snow."
Mrs. Zhao ordered the maid to go over and take off their cloaks.
Qi Lingheng smiled lightly and said, "It's right for Yun Wan and I to come visit our aunt and uncle."
Lin Yunwan went over to greet her: "Aunt. Uncle."
Zhao Jingyi couldn't wait any longer, so he put down the hand warmer and said, "Hurry, hurry, hurry! The pot has been heated up and is waiting for you."
He learned a new way of eating from outside, and when he was interested, he called his nephew and his wife.
Everyone sat down to eat hot pot and fresh lamb and beef together.
After having enough wine and food, they moved to the Nuan Pavilion to talk. Zhao Jingyi looked at the loving appearance of the young couple. After drinking, he was already a little drunk, and an idea came to him in a daze.
How could it be such a coincidence that his nephew brought this woman to him and married her?
"Uncle's pot is pretty good."
When Qi Lingheng and Lin Yunwan returned to the palace, they also wanted the kitchen to cook the same dinner using the same pot that their uncle had treated them to.
"The parrots and mynas raised by my uncle are also good."
Lin Yunwan was teasing.
I have long heard that the Queen's younger brother is very unruly, and seeing is believing.
Qi Lingheng smiled and said, "My uncle has always been like this."
It was getting late, Lin Yunwan was a little tired, so she went to wash up first.
The weather was cold and no one could stand it. Qi Lingheng didn't plan to go to the study again. After washing up, he came back and saw Lin Yunwan playing the piano leisurely.
"After I left Beijing, I haven't heard such a sweet piece of "Guangling San" for a long time."
After finishing the song, Lin Yunwan ordered the maid to put away the piano and said with emotion: "It's been a long time since I..."
"there is nothing?"
Lin Yunwan smiled and said: "I have never had such a pleasant life."
Qi Lingheng sighed softly and said, "There is still one annoying thing."
Lin Yunwan asked seriously: "What's the matter?"
Just listen to him say meaningfully: "I don't have any heirs yet."
Lin Yunwan: "..."
