Old man Li sneered, "Where did this drunkard come from? Never mind, since you can't even squeeze in like this, I'll be merciful and tell you."
"Our emperor is going to have a queen, and it's the granddaughter of Lord Lin! A proper lady from a noble family, a noble lady from a famous family!"
"Hey, when will we common people be able to marry a beautiful lady with a delicate figure, a pretty face, and a nice body..."
"What did you say?" The drunkenness in his head was instantly extinguished by a basin of cold water. Yuan Shaojun's eyes became much clearer. For a moment, he even dropped the bottle of wine and grasped the arms of the person in front of him tightly. "Who do you think the emperor wants to make his queen?"
Yuan Shaojun's red eyes startled Old Man Li. He didn't even think about getting angry. He replied dazedly, "Lin, Miss Lin, the granddaughter of Lord Lin, her name is Chun Huan."
Lin Chunhuan?
Lin Chunhuan!
Yuan Shaojun repeated the name over and over in his mind, and he was stunned on the spot, his limbs were so numb that he seemed unable to move. Seeing this, Old Man Li thought that this man was drunk.
After breaking free, he walked away cursing.
But Yuan Shaojun didn't pay any attention to these things at all. There was only one thing in his mind: the emperor was going to appoint a queen, and Lin Chunhuan was going to be the queen!
How can this be?
Lin Chunhuan is his wife, how can she be the queen!
That day, Yuan's mother waited until late at night, but her son did not come back, so she took out all her anger on Jiang Linglong.
He would slap someone in the face at any time without giving them any face.
"If you weren't such a vixen and couldn't keep people, how could my son, who is so filial, stay out all day and night? My Yuan family is truly unlucky. We finally got rid of the vicious woman Lin Chunhuan, but now we have fallen into the trap of a demon like you!"
Jiang Linglong was slapped so hard that blood oozed from the corner of her lips.
Although it is true that she had intended to seduce Yuan Shaojun in the past, it is also true that she was in poor health. Not only had she been tormented by that damn Yuan Shaojun and unable to sleep during this period of time.
He also had to suffer at the hands of Yuan's mother every day, and his health was getting worse day by day.
Moreover, Yuan's mother treated Jiang Linglong much more harshly than she treated Lin Chunhuan. The reason was that Jiang Linglong had no backing, and Yuan's mother was not worried at all that this person would cause any trouble.
The truth was, Jiang Linglong didn't dare to resist. She bit her lip and made the tea again. "Don't be angry, mother. My husband is a man of measure. He might be back soon."
Such a humble and gentle tone made Yuan's mother feel a little relieved.
She didn't even notice the resentment and hatred in Jiang Linglong's eyes when she looked away.
Six days ago, she and Yuan Shaojun had simply worshipped heaven and earth and got married under the arrangement of Yuan's mother. Of course, Jiang Linglong now looked down on the Yuan family.
All of this is just preparation for getting closer to the emperor in the future.
However, Yuan Shaojun never made a clear statement about her method, and Jiang Linglong was not sure what he was thinking, so she had to endure it.
"Is there anyone here? Come and help the young master up!"
Before Yuan's mother could start finding fault again, the housekeeper's voice was heard outside. Yuan's mother was startled and hurried out the door, and Jiang Linglong followed quietly behind her.
As soon as the two of them went out, they saw Yuan Shaojun, who was drunk like a puddle of mud.
"Oh my son!"
Yuan's mother cried and wailed like crazy again, then turned around and slapped Jiang Linglong in the face, stunning her.
No, she didn’t do anything, why are you hitting her again!
"You saw your husband was so drunk, but instead of helping him up, you just stood there and watched. This is how you act as a wife!"
Jiang Linglong bit her lip, but still responded with a frustrated tone, "Yes, daughter-in-law will go and help right away."
Seeing Yuan's mother's secretly proud look, Jiang Linglong's heart sank slightly. It was obvious that the servants had already helped Yuan Shaojun to stand up, and there was no need for her, the young lady, to do it herself.
That old woman clearly did it on purpose!
However, no matter how clear-headed she was, Jiang Linglong knew that now was not the time to resist. She was not in good health to begin with, and after helping the drunk Yuan Shaojun lie down on the bed, she was completely exhausted.
After Yuan's mother left satisfied, she no longer concealed her anger. She twisted a handkerchief into a ball in her hand and said, "You damned old woman, when I gain power, you'll be in big trouble!"
"But if I want to take that step, I still need Yuan Shaojun's consent. Even if I can't enter the palace as a favorite concubine, I must marry into a family bigger than the Yuan family. Without Yuan Shaojun, I can't even meet the big shots."
Jiang Linglong raised her eyes and stared at Yuan Shaojun lying on the bed, her mind full of thoughts.
What Jiang Linglong never expected was.
When Yuan Shaojun woke up the next day, he actually took the initiative to find her and Yuan's mother and talked about this matter, "I agreed with Linglong's method before, but not now. I have to wait for a good time."
Jiang Linglong couldn't believe what she heard. Her eyes were shining with excitement. Even Yuan's mother was a little stunned. She knew that Jiang Linglong was different from Lin Chunhuan.
My son has some real feelings for this cousin.
Would he actually agree to let Jiang Linglong serve another man?
"Son, have you...thought it through?"
Yuan's mother asked uncertainly, but Yuan Shaojun's face turned pale. "What does it matter whether you want to know clearly or not? Didn't you see the imperial edict posted outside?"
"Lin Chunhuan has been crowned Queen! The ceremony will be held today. She's no longer a favorite concubine, but Queen!"
When Yuan's mother heard this, she felt like she was struck by lightning. She slumped down in her chair. "Empress? How could this happen?"
"That girl is neither respectful nor virtuous, but she's pretty, and yet the Emperor actually made her the Empress? The Empress Dowager is a very strict person and would certainly look down on that vicious woman. Did she actually agree?"
"The emperor has already issued an edict, announcing it to the world. What do you think?"
Yuan Shaojun sneered, "Throughout history, the most difficult thing to guard against is pillow talk. We must not let Lin Chunhuan be the only voice His Majesty can hear. The method Linglong suggested last time is feasible."
"Get ready. When I find the right time, I'll send you to the dragon bed."
Jiang Linglong was overjoyed. Of course, nothing was finalized yet, so she didn't dare show her emotions too obviously.
Otherwise, before that day comes, the old woman will find ways to torture her to death!
"Yes, Linglong is willing to do anything as long as it can help relieve the worries of her husband and mother-in-law!"
Yuan Shaojun and his mother were obviously very satisfied with Jiang Linglong's reaction.
But Lin Chunhuan now doesn't know that the disgusting Yuan family has already set their sights on the emperor.
