Chapter 177: Things in the Inner Courtyard



Rong Shi couldn't afford to lose face for General Lin in front of the servants, so she said, "Buy cloth? Buy jewelry? But which girl has the general taken a fancy to? Bring her back!"

When Rong heard General Lin's expression, she said in a bad tone, "What woman? I asked you to buy one for yourself!"

Now it was Rong's turn to be confused.

"What do you mean? Buy it for me?"

General Lin looked at the situation outside and said, "After the morning court session today, His Majesty called me back. Guess what he said to me?"

"What? Asking you to go to war?"

Rong didn't think about anything else, thinking to herself that as long as it wasn't a concubine, anything would be fine! Seeing Rong's lack of interest, General Lin didn't bother to beat around the bush.

He is now in a position where the emperor seems to trust him but actually does not. It is better for him to keep a low profile, otherwise he will be caught by the emperor if he makes a small mistake one day.

General Lin was a little confused.

Under normal circumstances, General Lin might have really left. After all, he had seen enough of the Rong family.

Rong was so focused on entering the palace that she went out early the next morning to burn incense and worship Buddha.

Yunniang just happened to come into the room.

"She has recovered from her illness. I asked the maid to bring Wan'er's favorite cakes and books. We came so suddenly that we didn't take anything else with us!"

When Rong heard Yunniang's voice, her face naturally turned unhappy.

She looked at her flat belly and cursed in a low voice, "I've been in the mansion for several months, why can't I get pregnant?"

As soon as Rong opened her mouth to chase people away, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became cold.

The nanny beside Rong tried to stop her again and again, but she couldn't control Yunniang's mouth.

Yunniang is just a concubine, how could she be taken seriously?

Rong's expression instantly became lively, as if she could see Wan'er immediately.

Otherwise, go and ask the general. He is the head of the family. As long as he agrees, it won’t work even if Rong disagrees.

"You don't need to tell me. A few days ago, a maid named Cai Lian came to Wan'er's side and told me about it!"

Then she went to the cloth shop where she often bought fabrics. She originally wanted to pick out some gorgeous fabrics, but the nanny beside her reminded her that there were only nobles in the palace and Lin Luwan was only a Zhaoyi. If she wore gorgeous clothes, she would inevitably be gossiped by people in the harem.

Rong glanced at General Lin and said, "You are having a great time in Yunniang's room. How can I disturb you?"

"Madam is right. We can't embarrass ourselves!"

"General, Madam, I saw that it was time for dinner, so I came to serve you. Am I late?"

Afterwards, I went to the largest jewelry store in Beijing and bought a lot of things.

"Let's go!"

But her face was calm, as if she didn't care about it at all.

"Yes, yes, you are right. Since you are going to enter the palace, you must prepare your clothes and jewelry well. You can't embarrass yourself!"

"Wan'er is your daughter, don't you care at all?"

The servant who went to the front yard to wait for news came and said that General Lin went directly to Rong's yard.

But I can't do that.

When Rong heard this, she sneered and said, "Since she has made an appointment with the general, I will not keep the general!"

"Madam, Madam, General, Yunniang is here to serve you dinner!"

When Rong mentioned this, she missed her daughter even more.

Yunniang said this and rushed in despite the nanny's attempt to stop her.

Rong threw the material on the table and turned sideways, not wanting to look at Yunniang! General Lin glared at Yunniang and said, "I don't see you coming to serve me on weekdays. Why did you come today?"

"I am a concubine and I don't have any rules!"

But it’s not possible now. She has to go to the palace to accompany her daughter. This is the honor given by the emperor to the Lin family. If he doesn’t cooperate, it will be difficult for him if his daughter is able to speak in front of the emperor.

It would be better to choose some plain fabrics, which would be in line with the rules and not too ostentatious! After hearing this, Rong Shi could only put aside those gorgeous materials and choose a few pieces of plain fabrics.

General Lin was also a little embarrassed at this time.

"I'm here to see the General!"

When Yunniang, a concubine in the backyard of the general's mansion, heard the news that Rong was going to enter the palace, she was so angry that her teeth were about to break.

Yunniang envied Rong for having such a good opportunity to enter the palace.

"really?"

Rong said this.

"You are a concubine, and this is the mistress's room. How can I let you barge in as you please?"

His face was full of sullenness, a little embarrassed! "Even so, you should still call me, Wan'er is my daughter, and I miss her too!"

Yunniang had good intentions, but when the evening came and she had carefully prepared everything, General Lin did not come.

"You heard it right, His Majesty said in private that you are allowed to enter the palace!"

General Lin was also very happy.

"Of course I'm going to Rong's!"

General Lin still has to rely on the daughter in the palace, so naturally he has to obey Rong in everything these days.

Rong, who had been nonchalant at first, was stunned when she heard this. She stared at General Lin blankly and asked, "You, what did you just say?"

General Lin was shocked and asked, "What? A palace maid? When did you come? Why didn't you tell me?"

She was shouting at the top of her lungs at the door just now, but as soon as she came in she acted so coquettishly again!

"Your Majesty said that Wan'er was ill a few days ago because she missed you!"

General Lin then said, "Don't sigh anymore. His Majesty said that you can enter the palace to accompany Wan'er for a few days!"

The first half of this sentence is actually accusing the general of eating salt, while the second half is to show that his status is low and he dare not act rashly.

At this time, General Lin looked at the materials and jewelry bought by Rong and felt that they were too plain.

I thought Rong would have some reaction. Even if he didn't cry, he would at least be anxious.

When the couple was being affectionate with each other, they heard a sound coming from the door.

General Lin was so choked that he couldn't utter a word.

Yunniang's face froze, and she said, "Uh, it's Yunniang's fault. The general originally said he would come to my place for dinner, but I didn't wait for him, so I came here to serve him!"

"Ah, where are we going?"

"Of course, otherwise why would I rush to find you!"

After Rong's explanation, he immediately started praising him.

Hearing that Rong's tone was not right, he immediately scolded: "Nonsense, did I give you face? You actually ran to the lady's room to snatch someone, you are tired of living!"

Yunniang didn't expect the general to react like this.

She knelt down immediately and said, "General, that's not right. I dare not, I dare not, I will go back now!"

"Humph, go back and reflect on your mistakes for a few days. If you dare to come back again, I will sell you out!"

General Lin was not at all vague in what he said and made some harsh remarks directly.
