Chapter 21 Two Princesses' Daughters-in-Law

In Fushou Hall, Mrs. Lin started wiping away tears as soon as she saw her son.

Lin Tingfeng was already upset, and seeing this, his expression was even more displeased. "If crying is any use, why not let your mother follow you into the palace and cry to His Majesty?"

Madam Lin choked, but didn't dare to refute him. She could only ask him, "Feng'er, now that the bitch is still alive, what should we do about Princess Shihan?"

Lin Tingfeng sneered and asked, "What do you think we should do, mother?"

Hearing the complaint in Lin Tingfeng's words, Mrs. Lin couldn't help feeling aggrieved. She gritted her teeth and told him in detail what Song Yanxi had done.

"This bitch!" Lin Tingfeng slammed his palm on the table.

With a "click", the fine huanghuali table was split in half from the middle.

Madam Lin anxiously sat up from the bed and asked nervously, "Is my son hurt? Does his hand hurt? Come here and let me take a look!"

"It's okay." Lin Tingfeng had a gloomy face and was about to say something when he caught a glimpse of a maid rushing in from the door.

"Madam, General, someone else is coming to the palace!"

Upon hearing this, Madam Lin's face lit up with joy, and she quickly said, "It must be that the palace has rewarded my son. Quick, take my imperial edict..."

"No need." Lin Tingfeng interrupted her.

"Why not? Look at you, kid. Receiving an imperial decree is a huge matter. How can you be careless?"

As she spoke, Madam Lin quickly ordered the maid, "Quick, have someone prepare the incense table and call everyone in the mansion out to receive the order!"

Such a glorious moment for the family must be watched by the entire mansion, so that the bitch Song Yanxi can open her eyes and see that she is no worse than the prince's son.

If possible, the incense table should be placed at the main entrance so that neighbors can also see their beauty.

Lin Tingfeng's face was gloomy, and he said word by word: "Mother, I say it's not necessary."

"What?" Old Madam Lin was so excited that she didn't react immediately.

She had even thought about her 40th birthday in two months, and how those families who had looked down on their family in the past would come to curry their favor in a humble manner.

By then, she will definitely vent her anger!

It would be best to arrange two teams of guards to guard the gate. Not just anyone can enter the general's mansion.

Lin Tingfeng was too lazy to explain to her any further. He stood up suddenly and strode out.

The maid was frightened by the murderous aura around him. Old Lady Lin called her several times before she came to her senses and hurried to get the imperial robes for her.

At Lingxi Pavilion, the person who came to deliver the reward was Dehai’s godson, who was also a person who had gained favor in front of the emperor.

After Eunuch Qi finished reading out the Emperor's reward, his face wrinkled with a smile. "His Majesty has said that in the future, whenever the princess is free, she can bring the imperial token into the palace without being summoned."

Song Yanxi knelt upright and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace."

From today on, she is a real princess with a fiefdom, not just someone's wife.

As long as she wanted, she could even ask Lin Tingfeng to marry into the princess's family and become her prince consort.

Eunuch Qi almost trotted forward and personally helped Song Yanxi up, saying meaningfully, "The princess's blessing is still to come."

Song Yanxi smiled and said politely, "Thank you for your good wishes, eunuch. I will send you out."

As she spoke, she took the jade bracelet from her wrist and handed it to Eunuch Qi.

Eunuch Qi quickly declined, "Princess, this is absolutely not allowed."

Zhuzhi trotted over and handed him a bulging sachet of incense, saying with a smile, "Putting this sachet on the bedside can help you sleep. Please don't be polite to my princess."

"In that case, it would be disrespectful for this servant to refuse."

Eunuch Qi took the sachet and was immediately surprised by its weight. The smile on his face became even wider.

As soon as the group walked out of Lingxi Pavilion, they bumped into Lin Tingfeng who was rushing over.

When he saw that it was Eunuch Qi, his face became even uglier.

Lin Tingfeng asked, "Eunuch, are you here, His Majesty, for something to tell me?"

In fact, he vaguely understood in his heart that the people coming to the palace were most likely not here to scold Song Yanxi.

The emperor’s words are as good as gold. He would never do something like rewarding someone and then scolding them.

But he didn't think that Emperor Xuande would reward Song Yanxi again.

Eunuch Qi was quite polite and said, "I was ordered to deliver a reward to the princess. I thought the general must be tired after traveling for several days, so I did not disturb him."

To put it bluntly, he doesn't deserve to know.

Although Lin Tingfeng is a military general, he is as good at scheming as his father. How could he not know that this is just a polite remark?

He suppressed his anger and asked with a glimmer of hope: "I wonder which nobleman in the palace gave this as a reward, eunuch?"

Eunuch Qi couldn't laugh anymore and asked directly, "General, how come I don't understand what you mean?"

Everyone in the palace has their own duties, and even the empress cannot use the people around Emperor Xuande.

Lin Tingfeng naturally didn't understand these things.

His face turned pale and he moved his lips to explain, then he heard his mother's high-pitched voice coming from not far away.

Old Madam Lin was supported by a maid, holding up the thick skirt of her imperial robe with one hand, and walked towards this side quickly.

She kept shouting, "Please forgive me, my noble servant, I am ignorant and led you astray."

She looked down on Song Yanxi from the bottom of her heart. Even though she knew that the emperor had given her a fiefdom today, she didn't think that the current reward was for her.

She is just a daughter of a poor family, with no real title but not real love. She is not loved by her father and brother at all. Who do you think she is?

If her son didn't need the connections of the old man from the Yan family, a fickle woman like her wouldn't even be able to enter the Lin family.

Old Madam Lin walked very fast, and Lin Tingfeng had no time to stop her. He could only use his eyes to signal her to shut up.

But the old lady didn't even look at him. Her eyes were glued to Eunuch Qi, and she said excitedly, "Your Excellency must be here to give me a reward, right?"

Eunuch Qi nodded, not expecting her to be so straightforward.

Mrs. Lin smiled even more happily when she saw this, and said hurriedly, "The incense table has been set up in the front hall. Please follow me, eunuch."

Eunuch Qi was confused and said directly, "The things have been delivered. I will go back and report now."

"Delivered it?" Old Madam Lin widened her eyes and looked at the palace maids behind him.

Even if there are no rewards such as jewelry and jade, there should be an imperial edict to confer the title. How can you come empty-handed?

Madam Lin couldn't help but asked directly.

Eunuch Qi understood now. Looking at Lin Tingfeng, whose face was as black as the bottom of a pot and who was about to cover his mouth with his hands, he said with a forced smile, "General Lin, have you not yet told the old lady the truth?"

"What's the truth?" Old Madam Lin finally realized that something was wrong.

If they just took the wrong road, Song Yanxi could just send someone to take them there. There was no need for her to go there in person.

unless……

Mrs. Lin's body went limp and she almost fell to the ground.

Eunuch Qi didn't care whether she could bear it or not. He smiled and said very understandingly, "The old lady is very happy!"

Hearing the word "happiness", Mrs. Lin couldn't help but feel a little lucky.

Her Feng'er was so brave that he even brought the head of the enemy's commander back to Beijing this time, making great contributions.

It is reasonable and moral for the emperor to give some rewards.

Otherwise, the general’s mansion would soon be unable to make ends meet.

Madam Lin felt more confident, and a smile spread across her face. She said politely, "You are too kind, eunuch. This is my great joy."

Before she could finish her boast, Eunuch Qi spoke directly, "General Lin used all his rewards to beg Princess Shihan to be his second wife in the presence of the emperor. Madam Lin now has two princesses as daughters-in-law. This is a truly unique and joyous event."
