The Queen's face was full of confusion.
Ling Shumo didn't like Bai Lin or the baby in his belly, so this "good news" didn't reach the Queen's ears.
Ling Shumo's attitude has always been that the child will be included in the family tree as soon as it is born, and it doesn't matter if any accidents happen.
The original owner had no children because she had never been with any man other than Qin Wen'er.
But she is in good health and having a child is only a matter of time.
Ling Shumo wasn't at all anxious about having children, but the Queen stood up suddenly and asked, "Are you serious?"
Fu Yichen seemed to be shocked by the Queen's reaction. He was stunned for a moment before he smiled and said, "I dare not deceive the Queen.
Some time ago, it seemed that the Third Princess organized everyone to go horse racing outside the capital. During that time, I met that concubine. His name seemed to be... Bai Lin.
By the way, he seemed to have held the rank of noble servant at that time, so how come he was demoted to a commoner after he became pregnant?
The name "Bai Lin" sounded particularly familiar to the Queen, but she couldn't recall who it was. Yingxi, the attendant, whispered, "Bai Lin was the concubine you arranged for Your Highness. After he slept with you, you sent me to the Eastern Palace with the imperial decree, appointing him a fifth-rank attendant."
Seeing that the Queen finally remembered Bai Lin, Lu Jinshu knew it was his turn to speak. "Not long after Bai Lin entered the Eastern Palace, he was promoted to a noble attendant by His Highness. However, he later angered His Highness, and was demoted to a commoner.
Although he is not good at learning etiquette, he is indeed a good child. His Highness has only summoned him a few times, but he is the first concubine in the Eastern Palace to be pregnant."
The Queen was about to ask what Bai Lin had done wrong, but Fu Yichen took over Lu Jinshu's words, "Your Majesty, you have good taste and know how to choose people. I didn't know how many concubines you had chosen for Your Highness, but they were all useless. I still have a lot to learn from you about selecting people. I wonder if you would be willing to teach me a thing or two?"
Fu Yichen's words successfully diverted the attention of the Queen. "The selection of the candidates was done by Yingxi. If you really want to know, I will let him stay by your side for two days to teach your attendant well."
Fu Yichen thanked the Queen, then looked at Qin Wen'er with a smile, "Brother-in-law, originally, the affairs of Her Highness the Crown Princess' bedroom should not be mentioned by a minister. But your behavior is really inappropriate. You have been married into the Eastern Palace for so many years, and you didn't even take the initiative to add a few concubines for Her Highness. This is really not the attitude a husband should have."
Qin Wen'er was now squeezed to the outermost edge of the crowd. When he heard Fu Yichen ask him to take the initiative to add a few concubines for Ling Shumo, he was very angry, but he could only force a smile and agree.
Fu Yichen couldn't help but cover his mouth and laughed, "My Lord and Queen, look at the Crown Princess. He's so stupid that he can't think straight. I'm afraid he can't do anything well. You have to take care of arranging a concubine for the Crown Princess."
Fu Yichen's words completely awakened the Queen.
Ling Shumo's backyard was so short of people that he couldn't hold his granddaughter. Thinking of this, the Queen immediately instructed Yingxi, "Hurry up and pick out a few more lovely attendants and send them to Shumo."
The Queen gave this order.
Fu Yichen and Lu Jinshu both breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
Today's play is finally over.
At this time, Ling Shujiao, who received the news that Fu Yichen was pregnant, rushed over immediately.
She strode towards Fu Yichen. Everyone was saying "Congratulations" to the husband and wife, but Fu Yichen's relaxed expression was almost unable to be maintained.
It was true that Ling Shujiao's eyes were fixed on him, but her peripheral vision was uncontrollably focused on Lu Jinshu.
Lu Jinshu knew Ling Shujiao's thoughts very well. He moved two steps to the side calmly to make sure that Ling Shujiao couldn't see him out of the corner of her eye.
At this moment, Lu Jinshu felt someone touching his back. The next moment, Ling Shumo's lips were close to his ear, and her voice was low, cold and quiet. "After you've dealt with the evil child in Bai Lin's belly, remember to make time to go to Yuehua Palace. Shangguan Xu has been so restrained lately. Xue Wu has actually survived from the Qianqiu Festival until now. I'm very unhappy."
Lu Jinshu's back suddenly stiffened, and he subconsciously wanted to escape from Ling Shumo, but his feet seemed to be frozen by ice and snow, and he couldn't move even a step.
He went through so much trouble today just to get the Queen to send Ling Shumo a few more concubines.
At the beginning, the Queen asked her most capable attendant Yingxi to pick four concubines for Ling Shumo. Bai Lin's name was not originally on the list, but one of them was an attendant named Bishui, who was a distant relative of Yingxi.
At that time, people outside said that Princess Qin Wen'er was jealous and could not tolerate the Princess having other men around her. She would beat to death any concubine she saw. Bishui was afraid, so Yingxi used the power in her hands to let Bai Lin replace Bishui and enter the East Palace.
As a result, no one expected that Bai Lin was not beaten to death by the princess, but was promoted to be the master by the queen.
Bishui was filled with regret and jealousy, but the opportunity was missed, and it was missed. Bai Lin was now a phoenix that had flown to the top of the tree, but he could only serve as a servant for the rest of his life.
And today, Lu Jinshu, through Fu Yichen, once again proposed that the Queen choose someone for Ling Shumo, and Yingxi would definitely recommend her distant relative Bishui.
When Bishui enters the Eastern Palace, if he becomes jealous and hates her, it would be best if he could kill Bai Lin and the child together.
But if Bishui is timid and doesn't dare to cause trouble, it doesn't matter. Lu Jinshu will personally kill Bai Lin and then frame Bishui for the crime.
