Chapter 156: Father Has a Really Strong Taste
yes.
If Lin Qingjun was really like an ordinary lady, then how did she find his mother so accurately?
As everyone knows, concubines are supposed to stay in the harem and are not allowed to leave without permission. This is for their own safety. Who knows if they will become hostages to force the emperor? Furthermore, it is for the sake of imperial power. Who knows if they are bringing news from the palace and conspiring with their mother's family to seize the throne of Daqi?
Moreover, things like this are not uncommon. No matter what the reason is, they are absolutely not allowed to leave the house easily, including his mother, Concubine Ning.
And the last summer banquet, it took his mother more than a month to get the order from his father.
Therefore, everyone would think that his mother should return to the palace after the banquet, including the Queen Mother.
But no one knew that his mother did not go back, but secretly moved into his prince's mansion. Only two people knew about this, he and his father.
Therefore, it was indeed extraordinary that Lin Qingjun could find this place in such a short time.
Thinking of this, there was a hint of strangeness in Zong Yuancheng's eyes when he looked at Lin Qingjun, as if he felt that Lin Qingjun was indeed different at the moment. Indeed, it gave him some other thoughts.
For example, her back seems to be straighter than others.
For example, her profile is even more beautiful, even more beautiful than the sickly Ji Chenchuan.
For example, would she look better if she wore the dress and jewelry he bought for her?
Lu Shui did not notice anything unusual about the Eleventh Prince beside him and thought his warning had worked.
only.
"Lushui, do you think she can really convince my mother?"
Ji Chenchuan suddenly became seriously ill and his life or death was unknown. He was not stupid, and the only thing that could save him now was the life-saving pill from Feng in the hands of the Queen.
But, didn't she understand that she was just a concubine of the Lin family? What right did she have to ask for this from his mother? Moreover, his mother had been fighting with the Empress for more than ten years. If his mother asked for it, wouldn't she be handing herself over to the Empress? His mother was not stupid. She would not do such a foolish thing.
Therefore, Lin Qingjun not only did something wrong this time, but also went against the trend and was completely useless.
Zong Yuancheng thought so, Lushui thought so, and Concubine Ning in the room thought even more so.
Her graceful face was full of mockery.
"A mere concubine's daughter actually came to this noble concubine to beg for mercy. Who does she think she is? If I wasn't afraid of revealing my whereabouts, I wouldn't have let her in."
Concubine Ning's snow-white fingers pinched a small silver skewer made of snow vine, picked up a refreshing grape, put it to her lips and bit it lightly. The grape juice was extremely sweet, which made her feel relaxed and happy, and she felt that this summer was not so sad after all.
The sun in early summer was very strong, and Lin Qingjun was standing in the sun. Within half an hour, her forehead was covered with sweat, and her little face was already red from the heat.
Even Zong Yuancheng felt a little reluctant. It would be a shame to expose such a delicate beauty.
He was about to speak for her when Lu Shui stopped him.
"Your Highness, don't you see that Miss Lin Er hasn't moved at all?"
Sweating and blushing are normal human reactions, but Miss Lin Er's body remained straight and motionless, and her cold eyes were calm, as if the sweat was not burning her.
She seems to be a unique person. In her own space, she is like a practitioner in a temple, who regards everything as nothing.
Zong Yuancheng kept his lips shut.
Concubine Ning in the house also saw it. Her eyes changed from disdain to indifference, and then to a hint of admiration. Although half an hour is not a long time, it is not short either. Moreover, there are very few people who can stand there and let the sun bask in their hearts with a peaceful state of mind, especially in this situation.
It must be said that this concubine's daughter of the Lin family made her look at her with new eyes.
It's a pity that she is a concubine's daughter. If she were a legitimate daughter, she would have asked for her in marriage on behalf of her useless son. It would also be nice to be a concubine of Xin Liang. She would feel more at ease with such a calm and intelligent woman by Cheng'er's side.
Concubine Ning sighed and waved her hand to allow her to come forward and speak.
When Lu Shui saw this, his eyes lit up.
Done?
Zong Yuancheng shook his head, "Not sure yet."
Lu Shui was puzzled. Didn't Concubine Ning allow her to enter the house? Why was it not certain? If she could enter the house, did that mean Concubine Ning would agree to her request?
Zong Yuancheng became worried. "You don't know my mother. She's not as easy to talk to as she appears to be. Her temperament..."
Even his father couldn't predict her temperament. Sometimes she would be fine, then suddenly get angry and become extremely spoiled. But sometimes she would be obviously angry, but suddenly become fine again. Her temperament was changeable.
But his father just happened to like this.
Thinking of this, Zong Yuancheng's mouth twitched. His father had a really strong taste.
Therefore, even though Lin Qingjun had entered the room, who could tell whether his mother was in a good or bad mood? Especially since Lin Qingjun had come directly to the door and named his mother, her mother would not let her go just for this.
Women are all stingy.
Lin Qingjun never thought that Concubine Ning was an easy person to get along with.
The Empress is not easy to get along with because she is a noble Empress with an absolutely noble status. Her status and position do not allow her to be easy to get along with.
Concubine Ning is difficult to get along with, not only because of her status, but also because she is extremely favored by the emperor. With this favor, she has the confidence to be difficult to get along with.
Also, she was just a concubine's daughter. Even if she was reborn, she would not think of taking advantage of others and thinking that she did not take these two people seriously.
She knelt at a distance not too far away and saluted respectfully.
"Your humble servant greets the Imperial Concubine."
Concubine Ning did not argue with her, but instead spoke suffocating words.
"Second Miss Lin, do you know that I am here?"
Concubine Ning curled up a bloodthirsty smile. If she couldn't answer, or if she lied to her, she would tear her into pieces and make her die a miserable death.
Lin Qingjun's heart tightened. She knew that if she didn't give a satisfactory answer today, she would surely die. The imperial concubine wanted the life of a concubine's daughter, and the crime of "offending" would be enough. There was no need to say anything else about the rest.
Lin Qingjun said in a steady voice, "It's because of the fragrance."
She said that she originally wanted to ask the Eleventh Prince to take her to the palace to see her, but when she stood at the Eleventh Prince's door, she smelled a noble fragrance that did not belong to a man. She boldly guessed that there must be a royal concubine in the Eleventh Prince's mansion. In this case, she asked for an audience directly.
Concubine Ning was stunned.
"Is it that simple?"
Lin Qingjun smiled bitterly, "Yes, it's that simple."
She continued, "Perhaps Your Majesty hasn't noticed, but you have a special fragrance. It's not the scent of flowers or fruits, nor the scent of powder, nor the scent of incense, but a subtle fragrance. No one else can smell this fragrance, but I, this minister, can."
