Chapter 185 Bribery
As expected, when Concubine Yun saw the fishing rod, her eyes lit up and the smile on her face was quite genuine. "I didn't expect that the fourth lady was so thoughtful."
Concubine Yun touched the texture of the fishing rod and her mind was turning.
How could a two-year-old child think of these things? It must be the person behind her who instructed her.
Thinking this way, Concubine Yun calmed down.
"In this case, I will accompany the fourth lady to have a good time today."
Lin Baoer showed the innocence of a child and smiled brightly.
Fishing is boring, so as they chatted, Concubine Yun began to talk about family matters with Lin Baoer, "Fourth Miss, have you found your habit in the palace after living here for such a long time?"
"You've been here for more than two months, right?"
Lin Baoer lowered her eyes dejectedly, glanced around, as if she had some concerns, and although her expression was sad, she shook her head, "I'm used to it."
Knowing at a glance that she was lying, Concubine Yun rubbed her head gently, "There are only two of us here, so you don't have to worry about anything else."
"Can I call you Bao'er?"
Lin Bao'er nodded, as if moved by her words, and shrugged her shoulders, making her small body look even smaller, "I'm not used to it."
Her voice was very low, and Concubine Yun didn't hear it clearly at first. After she understood, a smile appeared on her face.
"Of course I'm not used to it. I left my parents at such a young age. I entered the palace after I reached the age of 15, and I stayed with my parents for a long time."
Lin Baoer seemed to be even more sad.
"But it's okay." Concubine Yun patted Lin Baoer's shoulder and said softly, "Look, so many people in the palace like you, Baoer, even the empress and the emperor are no exception. You can stay here for a while and go home soon."
"Really?" Lin Baoer raised her head and looked at her expectantly.
Facing those innocent eyes, Concubine Yun showed an uncomfortable expression on her face, and said in a gentle tone, "Of course it's true."
"But Baoer feels that not everyone likes me."
Lin Baoer just finished speaking in distress, and then realized that she had said the wrong thing. After looking at Concubine Yun in panic, she turned her head away guiltily.
There was no room for a little worry on her small face.
Concubine Yun was aroused by her words, and she approached her and asked, "What do you mean by this, Baoer? Have you found that someone doesn't like you?"
Lin Baoer shook her head, her little face wrinkled, as if she felt that she couldn't say it.
Seeing her like this, Concubine Yun thought she had discovered something incredible, and she kept asking and coaxing her, "Bao'er, didn't I tell you before that there are only the two of us here, and no matter what we say, no one else will know. Don't you believe me? Besides, if a child hides something in his heart, he will be caught and eaten by evil spirits. Don't you want to be eaten by evil spirits?"
[6. Lin Baoer
immediately pretended to be scared and shook her head like a rattle. "I don't want to!"
She hesitated for a while before slowly raising her head and whispered, "My mother said that we should be careful with our words and actions in the palace and not say bad things about others, otherwise we will be arrested and never be able to go home again."
"Your mother is right, we do need to be careful with our words and actions in the palace." Concubine Yun said patiently and gently, "But Baoer is still young now. There is also a saying that children talk without restraint. Even if others hear it, they will not take it seriously."
"And now it's just you and me. Baoer can tell me anything you want to say, and I will never tell anyone. If I tell anyone, I will be caught by the evil spirit, okay?"
Lin Baoer clenched her fists and finally nodded, "Okay!"
"The person I don't like is...that Concubine Li."
Concubine Yun's eyes lit up, and she asked in a gentle and persuasive manner, "Why don't you like Concubine Li?"
Lin Baoer pouted and complained, "Because Baoer thinks she looks a lot like the woman who bullied me before. Baoer was still young at that time, and I don't remember it very clearly. I just remember that the bad woman often pestered my eldest brother, snatched my food, and wanted to live in my house."
"Bad woman? Which bad woman?" Concubine Yun was puzzled.
Lin Baoer shook her head, "Baoer doesn't know either. I haven't seen that bad woman since then. I asked my eldest brother, and he said their family was confiscated, so they haven't come to my house since then."
Yun Fei's mind moved slightly, and she continued to ask, "Then Baoer, do you know the last name of that bad woman?"
Lin Baoer looked up at the sky and thought for a long time before frowning and hesitantly said, "I seem to have heard my father say that her name is... I think her name is Shen or something."
"I don't remember." She shook her head.
"Shen?" Yun Fei was secretly shocked.
The Shen family whose family was confiscated... Shen... Shen... Shen Qiantang!
Yun Fei widened her eyes in shock.
Seeing that she should have guessed it, Lin Baoer rolled her eyes and continued, "Baoer thinks that Concubine Li looks a lot like her, and when Baoer first entered the palace, she never came to see Baoer, and later most of the palace maids in Changqing Palace were punished because of her."
"Baoer doesn't like her, just like that bad woman."
Concubine Yun thought that children's likes and dislikes are really simple.
After changing the subject, Lin Baoer looked at her curiously, "Baoer remembers that bad woman is very powerful, has Concubine Yun never met her?" Concubine
Yun shook her head, "I rarely contacted the outside world after entering the palace."
If you want to see other people, you can only wait for that kind of large banquet, or wait for the annual quota to leave the palace.
But her family members were all gone long ago, and she didn't know what to do after leaving the palace, so she gradually stopped leaving the palace.
Hearing this, Lin Baoer looked at her with some pity.
[How pitiful! She has been a maid in the palace for so many years. She just said that she came in when she reached the age of 15. She has been in the palace for nearly ten years, right? How terrible.]
"So Baoer hates her because of this?"
Lin Baoer nodded heavily, "Yes!"
After that, she hesitated for a while, "Actually, there is another reason."
"What?" Concubine Yun asked.
Lin Baoer said obediently, "When that bad woman seduced my eldest brother, I saw a bug mark on her chest. What I hate most is bugs. It's terrible."
"When Bao'er went to Wanyan Palace before, she also saw Chong Chong and felt it was scary."
This illogical disgust was completely childish, but Concubine Yun had no doubts about these two illogical sentences and kept them in mind.
After telling Concubine Yun all the important information, Lin Bao'er waited for things to ferment.
As for why she chose Concubine Yun, one was because of the previous incident, she found that there must be someone behind Concubine Yun, who had tested her several times. It was most appropriate to find her for this kind of thing, and it would not be easy to be exposed.
The second reason was that she found that Concubine Yun had an inexplicable hostility towards Shen Ruyu, which happened to be what she wanted.
