Lin Chunhuan raised his eyebrows slightly and said nothing more.
She has been in the palace for more than half a year. During this time, Xiao Cen never stopped her from doing anything she wanted to do. At most, he asked her to rest more and not to tire herself out.
So Lin Chunhuan took over all the affairs of the palace.
Naturally, I learned a lot.
For example, what Xiao Cen left today.
There is no need to look at the rank, it is just to show the attitude of the palace, who is close to whom, who is distant, without saying a word, you can tell about it from the New Year gifts sent.
In the coming year, all those who are watching will have their own ideas about what to do, and the complicated twists and turns will be so numerous that it will make your scalp numb.
But she doesn't have to worry about that.
Lin Chunhuan stretched out his hand. Qiu Shuang warmed her body until she went forward to help her master dress up and change clothes, for fear that even the slightest bit of cold air would reach Lin Chunhuan.
"I heard that the Crown Princess is pregnant, so add a warm jade necklace to the New Year gift, and get two extra headbands, and get good ones." Lin Chunhuan lowered her head and whispered while choosing earrings for herself.
"As for the two concubines, each will receive a pair of jade bracelets."
Qiu Shuang responded softly, "Do you want two of the same?"
"Nonsense, Concubine Lin is my biological sister after all. Of course, the things I give her can't be the same as those given to others. Didn't the prince get a pair of blood jade bracelets a while ago? Give them to her."
Qiu Shuang was stunned when she heard this. She wanted to say something but hesitated for a few times, and in the end she said nothing.
That pair of blood jades is certainly a good thing. Not only is it not available in ordinary families, but even in the imperial palace, it is a good thing. Wearing it can open up the mind, invigorate the spirit, and promote blood circulation and menstruation.
It is no exaggeration to say that it is a peerless masterpiece.
Even before Lin Chu Nuan officially became the imperial concubine, she was not qualified to wear such a thing!
Just a little.
The blood jade can be called the musk among jades, and it exudes a unique fragrance all over the body. The fragrance is pleasant, but if you smell it too much, you will never be able to have your own children in this life.
The efficacy of blood jade is no secret, and Lin Chun was very generous in sending it off.
It depends on whether Lin Chu Nuan dares to wear it.
"Princess, the eldest son is here to pay his respects to you."
The little girl's voice rang out from outside the door, and Lin Chunhuan's smile deepened. "Tell the eldest master to wait in the hall. I'll be right there."
"The eldest son is quite filial to you, Princess. He has been visiting you morning and night for the past two months without missing a single day. This is the kind of care you'd expect from a biological son."
Qiu Shuang smiled half jokingly.
Lin Chunhuan, on the other hand, looked at herself in the mirror and adjusted her hair and makeup slightly. "If I wasn't doing this for the prince, Xiao Jinan would probably want to kill me."
"But it doesn't matter. If he's happy to act, I'm happy to play along."
"Let's go and see what new things our eldest son has found for my old mother today."
The main hall of the main courtyard.
Xiao Jinan sat on the chair with a calm expression, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, and a box was placed on the table beside him. Even though he had been stripped of his title of prince, there was no other emotion on his face.
It seemed as if he had really accepted his fate, and there was even a smile on his face.
"Oh, my dear son, I told you it's cold and the roads are slippery. It's hard for you to go back and forth so early in the morning!"
A pretentious voice sounded. Although no one was there yet, Xiao Jinan had already stood up from his chair with a filial smile on his face.
He turned around and bowed accurately in the direction where Lin Chunhuan appeared. "Your son has come to pay his respects to your mother. I wonder if your mother is feeling well today?"
"Comfortable! When I see you, I feel comfortable everywhere." Lin Chunhuan was supported by Qiu Shuang. One hand supported her belly, and the other hand held a handkerchief. She looked at Xiao Jinan with a loving face, "Hurry up and sit down."
"It's snowing so heavily outside. My son must be freezing, right?"
Even though Xiao Jinan was prepared to fight a protracted war and retreat in order to advance, he still felt a little uncomfortable when someone younger than him called him "son".
Even the smile seemed forced.
"Someone come quickly, change the tea for my son. Drink it to warm himself up. Don't let him catch a cold."
Xiao Jinan agreed with a smile and took out the box that had been on the table. "My son was on duty last night and was unable to go home to celebrate the New Year with my father and mother. So I specially asked someone to find this four-hundred-year-old snow ginseng to apologize to my mother."
The box was brought to Lin Chunhuan.
Even before opening it, you can already smell the faint medicinal fragrance.
The things are naturally good, but they are Xiao Jinan's things, especially those that can be eaten. Lin Chunhuan knows that she is timid and cannot handle them. If there is something wrong with the things, she will not be able to deal with it at all.
So he just took a quick look and pushed the box aside, "Hello Jin."
"It's not that I, as your elder, shouldn't give you face, but look at what you've done all day."
"The emperor advocated for saving money in the court last year. This year, the palace didn't even hold a New Year's Eve banquet. Even the dishes were omitted, leaving only one or two dishes, all of which were extremely expensive delicacies from land and sea."
"Your Highness has been working hard outside just to carry out the emperor's order to the end." Lin Chunhuan said this with certainty. The look he gave Xiao Jinan was full of disappointment as if he was looking at a junior. He slammed his hands on the table several times.
He was preaching, "This snow ginseng is of excellent quality and quite old. I'm afraid it won't be worth three to five thousand taels, right?"
"You're clearly going against your father and your uncle, the Emperor. If this gets out to someone with ulterior motives... Oh, how could I have a son like you? I'm going to die!"
Seeing Lin Chunhuan acting crazy, Xiao Jinan's face turned red and white.
In the end, he suppressed his anger and accepted the punishment by kneeling in the ancestral hall. As soon as Xiao Jinan left, Lin Chunhuan took a deep breath and wiped away the non-existent tears on his face. "Ling'er, withdraw some money from the account and buy some medicinal herbs. Send them to Ci'an Hall together with this snow ginseng."
"Send it in the name of the eldest son, with drums and gongs, so that those orphaned children can get some health care in this cold winter."
"yes!"
Dong Ling'er hurried to do it.
She was born into a family of officials, so she naturally knew the reason why Lin Chunhuan did this.
Since there is no way to confirm whether there is something wrong with the snow ginseng, then there is no need to confirm it. If there is really a problem, Xiao Jinan would not dare to let this thing enter the mouths of the little kids in Ci'an Hall even if he had a hundred courages.
The things were sent in his name. If Xiao Cen knew that he had attacked a group of children, taking his life would be considered a favor to him.
