Chapter 6 There will be good days ahead

In the next half month, Lin Ximeng completely secured her position as the concubine in the backyard, and she slept with her five or six days out of ten.

Zhao Liangdi and Cui Liangren were at a disadvantage.

There is a Liangdi Zhao family in the backyard, and two beloved people, Cui family and Liu family.

Zhao Liangdi had the highest family background and the most confidence. The Cui family was just a lowly official, and the Liu family was even worse. She was just a bed-warming maid in the palace.

Lin Ximeng was favored, but Zhao Liangdi was the most uncomfortable.

On this day, she came back from bed and planned to go back to the house to have breakfast. She met her enemy just halfway there.

Zhao Liangdi was seen dressed in gorgeous clothes, imitating the ladies in the palace, putting her hand on the maid's arm, and walking swayingly.

"Hey, isn't this Miss Lin?"

"You've been pampered a lot lately."

Lin Ximeng quickly knelt down and said she didn't dare.

Zhao Liangdi chuckled, slowly sat down in the pavilion in the back garden, took the fan handed to her by the maid, and fanned herself leisurely.

"What are you afraid of?"

His eyes fell on Lin Ximeng's still slightly swollen fingers.

"You improved your memory last time, and you really have more rules."

Lin Ximeng retracted her hand and smiled: "Thank you Liangdi for your teaching."

"Since you're thanking me, you might as well come over and rub my legs. My legs are sore from walking a lot just now."

"But..." Lin Ximeng bit her lip, trying to say that her fingers were still swollen.

Zhao Liangdi didn't give her a chance at all and stretched her legs directly in front of her.

Lin Ximeng was startled and had no choice but to kneel over and rub it for her.

Zhao Liangdi raised her eyebrows proudly: "A little more serious, haven't you eaten?"

"Oh, be gentle, you want to crush me to death!"

Zhao Liangdi was chirping, scolding those who were too light and too heavy.

Lin Ximeng was so angry that she just wanted to put a plug in her mouth.

As time went by, the sun moved from the east to the south, and the sunlight became more and more dazzling.

Although the weather in July was not hot, the light was strong enough that soon no one could sit in the garden.

Zhao Liangdi lazily stood up to leave, then turned to look at Lin Ximeng who was kneeling at her feet.

"Master, I think Miss Lin knows what to say and what not to say."

His eyes fell on her swollen fingers, and Zhao Liangdi smiled disdainfully and walked away.

Back at Bibo Garden, before Lin Ximeng had time to eat, Qingqing said again that Cui Liangren had arrived.

Cui Liangren was not of high birth, and he was just an unknown official in his family.

Fortunately, she was a relatively innocent daughter of a scholar, and she was also gentle and submissive. She became her husband within a year of entering the palace, so she was considered favored.

Lin Ximeng quickly stood up to greet him.

"Greetings to my beloved"

"Sister, there is no need to be polite, get up quickly"

Cui Liangren took Lin Ximeng's arm affectionately, and the smile on his face was warmer than the spring breeze in March.

Lin Ximeng thanked her, and the two of them sat down on the couch next to the window.

Cui Liangren first looked around at the furnishings in the room, then at Lin Ximeng's clothes, took the tea from Qingqing and said with a smile.

"I've long wanted to visit my sister."

"I brought some things to my sister, but now I'm afraid she won't miss it anymore."

Her maid Hui'er brought the things up, two pieces of goose-yellow satin, a pair of plain silver hairpins, two lapis lazuli rings, and a pair of sapphire bracelets.

Lin Ximeng was flattered and stood up.

"How dare you spend so much money on my dear friend? These are too valuable. I forgive my sister for not accepting them."

Her situation is already complicated enough, why is Cui Liangren trying to cause trouble?

"It's just some clothing materials and gadgets. Don't be afraid, sister."

She dismissed all the servants, took Lin Ximeng's hand and said sternly.

"To be honest with my sister, I haven't even had anyone to talk to in this backyard."

"Zhao Liangdi, you also know that, so I fell in love with my sister as soon as I saw her. If my sister doesn't dislike it, can you call me sister?"

It turns out they were coaxed.

Lin Ximeng smiled bitterly: "I am just a common roommate, and I don't even have a status. I don't know when I will fall out of favor. What's the trouble for my beloved?"

Cui Liangren stared at her blankly, his tender hands gently caressing Lin Ximeng's cheek.

"No," she murmured.

"You are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. My master... likes beauties. You will have a good life."

After Cui Liangren left.

Lin Ximeng stared at the cold breakfast, without any appetite.

Anyone can come to her place and make a show.

You can bully her, you can win over her, whatever they say is what they say, and you don't even have the qualifications to resist.

"Why?"

Lin Ximeng considered the cards in his hand.

First of all, she looks pretty enough. Although she is not the type that the Sixth Prince likes, it is still a plus.

Secondly, she is obedient and loyal enough, and is of some use in Jiaofang Palace.

Lin Ximeng's mouth felt bitter.

What else could she do? She could only fight.

Bu Zheng would be a hundred times worse than now, she would never want it!

Lin Ximeng didn't believe that there was no perfect path for everyone.

"Qingqing, let's order the meal again, a black chicken soup, a stewed squab, and a stir-fried vegetable. The freshest honeydew melon and grapes are the fruits."

She slowly got up and took fifty taels of silver.

"Those who reward me with a meal should consider it as my thanks to them."

Qingqing was a little shocked: "You should take good care of yourself, but this..."

"You have to look like a doting concubine, right?"

While interrupting Qingqing's words, she took the white jade paste and applied it carefully on her fingers.

——

At the same time, Zhao Liangdi’s Jinlan Garden.

When she learned that Mrs. Cui had gone to Bibo Garden to see Lin Ximeng, Zhao Liangdi was so angry that she felt so angry.

"That bitch is used to pretending to be weak in front of the master, but she doesn't feel at ease behind her back!"

"Master, please drink the medicine in peace." Aunt Zhao brought up a bowl of dark medicine.

"This is Xinxun Haifang. It is said to be a good way to ensure the birth of a male fetus. I have watched it with my own eyes until it lasts. Please drink it while it's hot."

Zhao Liangdi felt nauseated when she saw the black concoction.

But after hearing that it was safe to have a male fetus, I still held my nose and drank it.

"I drank so much and it still doesn't work. Who knows what will happen this time?"

Aunt Zhao took the empty bowl and handed over the clean handkerchief: "It is useful to keep it this time. I have asked about it a long time ago. Many ladies in the capital have used this recipe to give birth to Lin'er. It must be useful for you too."

Zhao Liangdi smiled happily when she heard this.

"When I successfully give birth to the prince's eldest son, I will no longer tolerate that bitch Cui."

"That's natural"

Aunt Zhao smiled happily: "You are already Liangdi. Apart from the future concubine, you are the only one in my backyard."

Feeling comfortable, Zhao Liangdi sat in front of the dressing table and dressed up carefully.

Then he asked Aunt Zhao to bring the undergarment that she had made a few days ago.

"I'm free these days, so I'll send you there. I'll try to keep you here tonight."

"Hey, that's right." Aunt Zhao went away and picked out the most exquisite tray when she came back.

"What's the use of fighting with Cui Liangren? What's important is to focus on the master."

Zhao Liangdi curled her lips and smiled, took the tray and took the little maid out.

"Right!"

Halfway through, she suddenly turned back and whispered to Aunt Zhao.

"If you can't deal with Mrs. Cui, Mrs. Lin can always take action. Mother, please keep an eye on her and don't let her get pregnant first."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything"

Aunt Zhao's eyes glared, and there was no hint of viciousness in her eyes.
