"I still do not know about the Fifth Master and the Madam Lian. After all, the First Princess Pingning has not returned to the capital yet, so this matter is uncertain. How can I dare to spread it?" Grand Madam lowered his voice a bit, and said: "How many letters did the head of the palace send out? Who sent it? "

Originally, Lin Jia had only scribbled a few sentences in her letter. She had wanted to write a letter to ask about it, but since Lin Jia was at Forin at that time, perhaps this letter would not even reach Lin Jia's hands … Naturally, she couldn't just casually say a lot of things.

Lin Jia sighed and said faintly, "First Princess said that Esteemed Empress Dowager sent a message over. As for the other things, I wanted to ask more about them, so the First Princess didn't want to say too much … I told me to go to the First Princess to probe a little, but the First Princess actually hid it from me.

Her mother-in-law's personality was getting weirder and weirder.

Grand Madam could only sigh as well, "No matter what, we have to wait for First Princess Pingning to enter the palace before making his decision. Regarding the matter of Sister Shu, it's not good for us to reply too early, if any rumors spread out, the other people would feel that this Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion is similar to that of a young lady!"

"You think the same thing as me." Lin Jia's eyes revealed a look of misery, no matter what, it was hard for her to do.

On the other hand, when Lin Shu and the other girls activated their Green Pine Academy, they felt that the sun was extremely high outside, so Lin Hui suggested to go to a small stone table nearby to sit.

It was unknown if it was because Lin Qian had been depressed in the courtyard for too long, but she actually agreed to go together with them.

After the servants served the tea, they chattered on. Although Lin Hui had been humiliated a few times by Lin Qian previously, but she was not satisfied with the marriage, as she was in a difficult situation, her complexion started to improve, "... Why is it so hot today? It's only the middle of May, and by the time it's June or July, I'm afraid I won't even want to go out. "

She was round, and she was usually the one who was most afraid of heat.

However, Lin Qian didn't reply. She was waiting until the fall of this year to get married, hoping that summer would come a little slower, and that it would be better.

Feeling depressed in her heart, she slowly opened her mouth: "Sis Hui'er, why is the big sister back just like that? Didn't the First Princess Pingning say that she would stay in the Forin for her entire life? "

"What do you mean? Could it be that you don't like my sister coming back? " Lin Hui thought about Lin Qian's unhappy appearance at the Green Pine Academy, and realized after thinking about it, and shouted out: "What's so good about the Forin, my mother already said it, Big Sis's husband is already infected with a leg disease, if he remained in the Forin, his legs would probably be crippled."

Lin Qian's stomach was currently filled with anger, but naturally, she did not look good either. "When did I say I didn't want Big Sis to come back? It is Big Sis who has returned, so how many days can she stay in the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion for? "

She, was afraid that she would not be able to stay in the Duke Xinzhong’s Mansion for more than a few days. It was just a casual conversation, why did Lin Hui treat her like that? Did you think that she wasn't good at finding a marriage and that you didn't even like her? "I just asked a few more questions, why are you so talkative? Originally, the First Princess Pingning and the empress dowager were at odds, but who didn't know? I heard from my grandmother that First Princess Pingning was going to bring a whole family of people to the Forin and even after the Emperor appeared several times to advise them against it, they were still unwilling to give up and said that they wouldn't be able to return for the rest of their lives. "

Elder Jiangge was a Pavilion Elder in the middle court, so it was inevitable that Mrs. Jiang would have more secrets about the palace than other people.

Lin Hui blinked her eyes, not knowing how to respond.

She had vaguely heard her mother talking about Forin before, but every time she spoke of it, she would always wipe away her tears. Furthermore, First Princess Pingning was too biased, to sacrifice his big sister's family for a dead son, how could there be such a heartless mother … It was just that at that time, she was only concerned with comforting her mother, so he didn't ask too much and didn't dare to ask too many questions.

Looking at her ignorant appearance, Lin Qian felt a sense of superiority, "You don't know about this, right? "First Princess Pingning might be the first to ascend the throne and the first to become Empress Dowager Zhou's only flesh and blood, but the feud between Empress Dowager Zhou and Esteemed Empress Dowager isn't shallow!"

"There's such a thing?" Lin Shu revealed a face full of doubt.

Come to think of it, it was quite a coincidence, she remembered that in her previous life, the Grand Madam mentioned that it was because of the Empress Dowager Wang that the First Princess Pingning stayed at the Forin. It was just that this kind of royal secret was not something that she could casually find out.

He never thought that Lin Qian would actually know about it, and even had the intention to show off.

"The empress dowager climbed up the steps from a palace maid, and because she was young and beautiful, she was doted upon by the late emperor. She was even more so given birth to the current emperor himself, my grandmother said that the late emperor has always been very intelligent and sensible since he was young, and that the late emperor dotes on him. Empress Zhou only had one First Princess Pingning under her tutelage, so he was rather wary of the empress dowager."

"But Empress Zhou is from a noble family, so no matter if it's etiquette or virtue, she won't be allowed to do anything to make things difficult for Esteemed Empress Dowager. I'm afraid the two of them have a grudge. The late emperor might have doted on Esteemed Empress Zhou, but he still respects her, so he's never been able to hold the position of crown prince. He's only thinking that perhaps Empress Zhou might give birth to his first son …" "It's a pity that even after Empress Zhou passed away, there was no next prince."

"However, because of the death of Empress Zhou, the First Princess Pingning hated Esteemed Empress Dowager. At that time, the other half of the reason why Empress Zhou passed away was because she was worried and anxious … "It has to be known that the empress dowager was born in the cold and was used to people being cold. Her scheming skills far outstripped Empress Zhou's. Who knows how many times she took advantage of her while she was still alive!"

"A few years after Empress Zhou passed away, the late emperor intentionally wanted to make His Majesty his Crown Prince, but the First Princess Pingning was obstructing him. The late emperor pitied her for losing her mother at such a young age, and he delayed this matter again and again. "After another two years, the First Princess Pingning recruited a prince consort and moved to the First Princess Pingning Palace. The palace had only been two years of peace, and the late emperor's health was already rather poor by then, but a year before the late emperor passed away, His Majesty was set up as the crown prince and the poor empress dowager had only sat there for half a year before he became the empress dowager. If it were you all, how could you not hate the First Princess Pingning?"

"After that, Esteemed Empress Dowager no longer needed to look at anyone's face. Even the First Princess Pingning didn't have any good feelings towards her, but her personality was still quite good. She never went to the palace to pay respects to Esteemed Empress Dowager during festivals … Esteemed Empress Dowager hated First Princess Pingning even more. "

"That year, when the Forin was overflowing, a few officials said that the Forin was the feudal fiefdom of the First Princess Pingning, but the First Princess Pingning was not concerned about the citizens of the Forin in the slightest … Since the empress dowager had seized this opportunity, he told the emperor that he would send the youngest son of the First Princess Pingning to the Forin to help out the disaster. It would be great if he could just walk through a formality, but the youngest son of the First Princess Pingning had been swept into a whirlpool and unluckily died, because the water was too strong, he didn't even find his corpse. "

"When Prince Consort Ma died, the First Princess Pingning fainted when he received the news, and tried to vent all his anger on Esteemed Empress Dowager. However, Esteemed Empress Dowager was also very innocent, and just wanted to give the First Princess Pingning a look at her looks, but it turned out to be such a tragedy. He said that when his youngest son died, the coffin only contained his clothes, and Esteemed Empress Dowager even made a trip out of the palace to speak to Esteemed Empress Dowager. From start to finish, the First Princess Pingning didn't even speak to Esteemed Empress Dowager."

"After the funeral, First Princess Pingning brought Big Sister's family over to the Forin. He said that her youngest son couldn't be left alone in the Forin without anyone to rely on, and now that Esteemed Empress Dowager's temper has come up, she didn't even try to persuade him. The emperor was also in a dilemma, so he couldn't resist First Princess Pingning's temper and could only allow First Princess Pingning to bring his family back to the Forin … I wonder why First Princess Pingning is back this time. "

Speaking of what happened all those years ago, even Lin Qian couldn't help but sigh a little.

Lin Hui couldn't help but feel her eyes redden as she sobbed, "Esteemed Empress Dowager is His Majesty's birth mother and First Princess Pingning is His Majesty's direct sister. I pity my elder sister for being wronged …" Back then, First Princess Pingning had invited the Duke of Cheng's wife to propose marriage. I still remember a bit of it, but no matter if it was grandmother or mother, they both refused. After that, the Emperor personally bestowed the marriage on them, so there was no room for discussion. At that time, when Internal Service had just left after announcing the decree, Grandmother and Mother hugged their older sister and cried together … "

It was a pity that in front of outsiders, even his own family had to pretend to be overjoyed.

Lin Shu could not help but say, "That's right, even Mother said that Big Sister was extremely picky that year, there was no one who didn't praise her when they saw her. I'm afraid that when the First Princess Pingning came to the Emperor, he provoked the Emperor's request for marriage. "

When the emperor bestowed a marriage upon them, they would either marry or die. As long as one had a breath of life left in them, that person would only be a part of the bridal sedan.

With this, she couldn't help but comfort Lin Hui, but she also understood why First Princess Pingning never returned to the capital in his previous life.

But why did the First Princess Pingning suddenly return to the capital? But what benefits did the Empress Dowager Wang grant the First Princess Pingning?

Lin Shu did not know the situation, and only borrowed the reason why she sent Yun Dou to buy candied fruits. She also asked Yun Dou to go to the First Princess Pingning Palace to find out from time to time whether the First Princess Pingning had entered the palace or not. If the First Princess Pingning had really entered the palace, then this would be really strange …
