"Congratulations, Master. Congratulations, Master."
"Taifu is truly blessed with great fortune."
"The Grand Master is truly enviable..."
After Emperor Yun issued an edict praising Grand Tutor Lin and conferred the title of third-class earl on Brother Lin, countless people gathered in front of the father and son to congratulate them.
Brother Lin accompanied his father to social events. He was the eldest son and heir of the Lin family, and had been taught by his father with all his strength since he was young.
So he was at ease when faced with such occasions.
Big Brother Lin is the most promising one in the Lin family. Even the smartest half-brother is not smarter than Big Brother Lin.
He was dealing with other people in the crowd and couldn't help but look at the stunning beauty who was talking to the prince over there.
That was his sister, his sister from the same mother.
Brother Lin knew very well how he got this title.
This corn was brought out by his sister, just as she had brought out the cowpox and other smallpox remedies from somewhere.
His father had already told him the origin of corn, just to let him know that it was because of his sister that he could achieve his current success.
Because of corn, their family will definitely be valued by the emperor, which can be regarded as a layer of protection for the Lin family.
If the next emperor is really the crown prince, then with his younger sister around, the Lin family's position will be more stable.
But Big Brother Lin also knew very well that if the Lin family wanted to continue to prosper, it could not rely solely on his sister. It was necessary for the descendants of the Lin family to be capable and promising in order to continue the glory of the Lin family.
The Lin father and son were entertaining guests here, while Mrs. Lin and her concubine sister were also dealing with other noble ladies over there.
Several noble ladies showed interest in Lin's concubine, and the topics they talked about with Madam Lin were all about Lin's concubine.
These noble ladies either had the title of Duke or were the daughters of ministers of the first or second ranks in the court. They were so interested in Lin's concubine because of Wushuang, the Crown Princess.
Of course, more reasons are because of his father, Master Lin, and his elder brother, Brother Lin, who had just been awarded the title of earl.
A good marriage between two surnames depends on the other party's family background and character.
It doesn’t matter that the Lin family’s concubine’s sister is a concubine’s daughter. It is not a big deal for these wealthy nobles. As long as they marry her, they can establish a relationship with the Lin family.
But unfortunately, Lin Shumei is not interested in these people at all.
How can the illegitimate sons of the Duke's Mansion, or the illegitimate sons of ministers of the first or second rank, compare to the prince?
So what if the Sixth Prince was also born out of wedlock?
The royal family is the place that cares the most about the distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children, but it is also the place that cares the least about it.
If the Sixth Prince had the ability, and with her and her family's advice, he might be able to ascend the throne.
As for her elder sister marrying the prince, would her family be willing to support her?
Lin Shumei didn't think too much about it. Anyway, she felt that marrying the Sixth Prince as a princess was better than marrying the illegitimate sons of these ordinary ministers.
Yes, those who asked Madam Lin about Lin’s concubine’s sister and wanted to marry into the Lin family only wanted to find a marriage for their concubine’s son.
Of course, it is impossible for the eldest son of their family to be with Lin's concubine sister, and the other legitimate sons don't want to be together either, so the concubine's son can only come.
As a result, Lin Shumei looked down upon the marriage proposals put forward by the other female relatives. She only wanted to marry the Sixth Prince and become a high and mighty princess.
When the elders in the family talked about marriage, they basically didn't pay much attention to the younger generation, so Lin Shumei found an opportunity to leave.
Of course, she also knew that this was the imperial palace and she couldn't run around, so she targeted the Sixth Prince and followed him out.
Wushuang, who was talking to Yun Yin, noticed Lin Shumei's actions from the corner of his eye and raised his eyebrows slightly. He looked at Yun Yin and said, "Your Highness, do you want to go out for a walk?"
"Hmm?" Yun Yin didn't socialize with many people today, so he stayed with Wushuang. He was a little confused when he heard her say that.
Wushuang smiled and said, "I feel a little bored. Your Highness, would you like to go out for a walk with me to relax?"
Yun Yin knew from looking at her that this was just an excuse. She clearly looked like she wanted to watch the show.
What's going on for her at today's palace banquet?
"If you want to go out for a walk, then go ahead." Yun Yin certainly would not refuse his Crown Princess. He took her hand, stood up, said something to Emperor Yun, and went out.
The imperial concubine sitting next to the Emperor Yun looked at Yun Yin and Wu Shuang's backs and complained casually, "The banquet is still going on, why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince leave?"
"The Crown Princess is also like this. His Majesty is so happy today because of her family. Why did she leave first?"
Emperor Yun heard the Imperial Concubine's complaint, glanced at her sideways, and said calmly, "Imperial Concubine, why didn't I see the eldest brother's wife today?"
Yes, only Prince Qi Yunqi attended the palace banquet today, and Princess Qi Wang Qiuyi was not present.
"Your Majesty, Wang was ill and didn't come here. We were afraid that the disease would spread to other people." The imperial concubine could tell that Emperor Yun was a little unhappy, so she lowered her head and replied docilely.
Emperor Yun raised his eyebrows slightly, "Why is the eldest brother's wife sick?"
"Your Majesty, you also know that Wang has always been in poor health. I have invited many imperial doctors to see her, but they still failed to make her stronger." said the imperial concubine.
She didn't like much about her daughter-in-law Wang Qiuyi, even though she had asked for her daughter-in-law. After they became mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, they disliked each other.
Especially before Wang Qiuyi gave birth to a legitimate son, the imperial concubine had all kinds of resentments towards her daughter-in-law.
When she wanted to put someone in her son's backyard so that he could give her a grandson as soon as possible, her son refused and insisted that Mr. Wang Qiuyi have a son.
