"What happened?" Linyin asked.

It is not unusual for the queen to express goodwill to the old aristocrats, it is just wavering. Even if Xu Yinming doesn't like it, it is not like this. In addition, after she mentioned the "looking at each other" just now, Xu Yinming was impatient, Linyin

I already have a guess in my mind.

The corner of Xu Min's mouth twitched, and he wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, the sound of crying escaped.

Linyin shook his head, "Let's drink some hot tea before we talk."

After she finished speaking, she handed the milk tea to Xu Min's hand.

Xu Minmin took the milk tea and drank it.

After a while, Xu Min's mood stabilized slightly. Her words were mixed with grievances, "It's not the same thing as you."

As expected, Linyin was convinced that the empress was really evil-minded, and now she set her sights on Xu Minmin again.

I don’t know who I want Xu Minmin to marry.

"Who is it? It can't be my brother-in-law, right?" Linyin guessed.

If this is the case, then the emperor and empress are too shameless. Du Guangji is no longer a human being, but he is still wearing a human skin.

But Du Guanglei, that is the nature of an animal.

"If you talk nonsense again, I'll tear your mouth apart." Xu Min couldn't help but jump to her feet and looked at Linyin angrily.

From the looks of it, it seems that the matter has not reached its most serious level yet.

"Who is that?" Linyin pinched Xu Min's face.

"Don't think of me as Princess Jinyang." Xu Xin patted Linyin's hand away and whispered, "It's the East Palace."

Linyin's eyes were dark, and the original playful look was dissipated due to the change, "The Crown Princess is still here, could it be that she wants you to go to the East Palace to be a good concubine?"

Liangdi of the East Palace is second only to the Crown Princess. Now the Crown Princess's mother's family is in decline. If Xu Minmin enters the East Palace, the Crown Princess will have to avoid her.

No, now the Crown Princess and the Queen only have a superficial relationship. The Crown Princess is going to give birth in four months. The Queen chose Xu Min Min at this time, perhaps because she wanted to make Xu Min Min her successor after killing her mother and having a son.

concubine.

But for Xu Minmin, her identity can even be obtained by the mother of the country, so why should she commit herself to the East Palace to be the successor and rush to be someone's stepmother?

In other words, Xu Minmin was born into a noble family and was extremely favored. She could choose her own marriage relatively freely, so why did she follow the arrangement and marry the prince?

Xu Min looked irritated, "How do I know what they are thinking? It's just for the East Palace."

"Can the eldest princess agree?" Linyin asked again.

"Of course my grandmother would not agree. My grandmother and the queen said that I am destined to be evil until I turn eighteen, and I must be raised at home. I am not allowed to get married, and I cannot talk about marriage."

When Linyin heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief. She said that the eldest princess was the most sensible to protect herself. In addition, she loved her granddaughter so much. How could she really let her granddaughter and the Xu family get involved in this storm?

"Isn't that solved? Why are you still so angry?" Linyin said in confusion,

Xu Minmin raised his eyes and looked around, with a particularly angry look on his face, but his voice was much softer, "I obviously didn't do anything, but all kinds of troubles came to me. Why did you keep me until I was eighteen in the end? It was unreasonable.

I have a bad reputation."

She just felt it was unfair and wronged. Ever since she was a child, even Linyin had never let her suffer such a big loss.

"Don't worry." Linyin comforted him. Who couldn't see that this was the eldest princess's prevarication to the queen, "No one really thinks that you are destined to be evil. As for staying until the age of eighteen, what's the point?

What's wrong?"

Linyin paused and seemed to remember something. She said with a narrow face, "Don't you have a sweetheart?"

"You're talking nonsense!" Xu Minmin's face turned red, she held the handkerchief and flicked it at Linyin's face.

Linyin laughed so hard, "It turns out it's true, Sanniang, let me tell you and let my sister help you palm your eyes."

"Don't put too much emphasis on yourself." Xu Xin stood up and stamped her feet, "I'm just crazy to tell you these things."

After saying that, Xu Minmin turned and left.

"Wait a minute." Linyin suddenly stopped Xu Minmin, and his originally joking expression softened a bit, "Even so, you will still have to go to the palace less often in the future."

The queen will not give up easily, and the eldest princess cannot look at Xu Minmin all the time. It is better for Xu Minmin to rarely come to such a land of tigers and wolves.

"I want you to take care of it." Xu Min said coquettishly, holding up her skirt and leaving.

The banquet started, music played, dancing girls danced their sleeves, and the emperor and his ministers exchanged cups, creating a scene where the emperor and his ministers enjoyed each other.

No matter what everyone's thoughts are, at least it seems to be extremely harmonious now.

Linyin glanced at Du Guangji beside him. At least they were still a couple on the surface, and their positions were arranged together.

Linyin thought about what Yuan Ce said and didn't want to talk to Du Guangji for the time being. She had had enough fun with him, so why bother talking to him anymore. As for Du Guangji, Linyin was lucky enough to ignore him.

The couple was speechless and looked like strangers.

As Linyin expected, the queen did not give up on Xu Minmin and frequently showed her favor to the Xu family at the banquet. Linyin had been wandering for nine days, but when she saw this, she couldn't help but focus on Xu Minmin.

Xu Xuan was upset, but even if she was arrogant, she could not show her disgust and impatience, so she had to smile. In the end, she could hardly maintain the expression on her face.

Seeing this, Xu Minmin had to get up and go out for some fresh air on the grounds that he was too drunk.

Naturally, the emperor and empress would not refuse.

Xu Minmin didn't lie. She did drink a few more glasses of wine at the banquet just now.

She felt sad in her heart and her expression became more and more depressed. Even if she had some fun with Linyin today, it was difficult to relieve her.

Xu Minming sat next to the beauty, but she was completely unaware of the cold wind outside the threshold, the sparse shadows overlapping, and the flying snow.

"Oh, isn't this Xu Sanniang? Why are you leaning here to blow the cold wind?" Just when Xu Min was lost in thought, a female voice came to her ears.

Xu Minmin took a quick glance and saw that it was a female official in the palace, so she calmed down a bit and said, "Thank you for your concern, auntie. I just drank wine and am a little dizzy now. A cold breeze will help me sober up, so as not to lose my composure in front of the emperor."

"In this case, you shouldn't be blowing in the wind. The wind is mixed with cold snow. What if the third lady gets cold? Since the third lady is drunk, it is better to go to the side hall to rest. It is warm there.

"The palace maid lowered her head, her voice was gentle and concerned, covering up the glare in her eyes.

Seeing her good intentions, Xu Minmin thought that if she got sick, the nobles in the palace would inevitably blame her, so she did not refuse.

The palace maid led Xu Minmin to the side hall. The palace was exquisite and luxurious, with purple smoke rising from the enamel incense burner, giving the impression of a majestic heavenly home.
