Waiting for Lin Shu and Lin Hui to follow her to her courtyard, Zhang Yuanqing who had been suppressing the pain in his eyes the entire time walked into the courtyard. His tears fell like beads with a broken string, and once she entered the house, she couldn't help but cry while holding the handkerchief.

The girls who followed her in were all looking at each other. They only thought that they were only here to drink wedding wine, so why did they suddenly come out like this?

Zhang Yuanqing cried loudly, using the handkerchief to suppress the pain in his eyes, "... I, I was just thinking that I won't be able to be filial to my grandfather, father, and mother in the future, I just feel sad in my heart. "

He truly treated every single one of them like fools!

However, Lin Shu had always been at the back of the crowd, so whether it was before or after she was married, her cultivation was not enough. It was true that she was a little smart, but her little thoughts were seen through with a single glance.

Lin Hui also felt a little awkward, but she still consoled, "... If you want to go back and look at the Zhang Family in the future, they will definitely not say anything. Since the Grandma Zhangda is also in the capital, if you miss them, then send someone to bring them over for a look. "

Only she had not been able to see that although the battle was bloodless, it was even more brutal than the battlefield.

Zhang Yuanqing's gaze immediately fell upon her, "Sis Hui'er, thank you very much. After being comforted by all of you, I feel much better. In the future, come and chat with me more, so that I won't be bored by myself in the manor … "I still remember what my mother told me. After marrying someone, you can't let your temper take over no matter what you do, and no one will ever let you get used to it …"

Lin Shu felt that she was looking at him.

Lin Hui nodded her head, she too could not wait any longer, she had been confined by the First Madam in the courtyard embroidery and almost couldn't hold back the urge to cry, "If Sister Zhang thinks of me, then just send us a message, I and the Sister Shu will definitely come over."

The smile on Zhang Yuanqing's face became even wider, this was exactly what she was waiting for.

After she found out that he was going to marry Third Princess to become Lateral Consort, she became very sad for a while, but Grandma Zhangda knew that there was no room for change in this matter. He quickly pulled himself together and sent people to all directions to find out about the situation within the Third Prince's Mansion, and he did not miss a single thing regarding Third Princess and Wang Manjing.

However, he did not manage to obtain any useful information from this Man Jing Grandma Zhangda.

Everyone knew that Man Jing was a big shot beside the Empress Dowager Wang. She had a good appearance, was gentle and smart, and treated others kindly … But these were not what the Grandma Zhangda and Zhang Yuanqing wanted, but for ordinary people, it was impossible for them to not have any weaknesses.

In the end, only then did Zhang Yuanqing remember that Lin Shu had raised her in the Tzu Ning Palace for a period of time. But Lin Shu was also a clever one, if not she would not have invited Lin Hui out from a group of cousins. Lin Hui and Lin Shu had always been close to each other, and since it was not convenient for Lin Shu to make a move, she could only do it from Lin Hui's body.

Zhang Yuanqing was even more so smiling as he went to Zhang Luo to eat his wedding cake, saying that he wanted Lin Hui to taste her happiness.

Everyone covered their handkerchief and laughed.

Lin Hui only dodged.

This time, Lin Shu felt that something was off, although Zhang Yuanqing was only a Lateral Consort of the third prince, he was still a master, so he did not need to care about Lin Hui at all.

Everyone was talking happily, when Zhang Yuanqing's servant came in, "Miss, no …. Lateral Consort, the empress has given you a reward. "

Zhang Yuanqing, who was being escorted by everyone, had a look of joy on his face. Just as he went to welcome his, he saw Zha Liang He who was standing beside Empress Zhang in the courtyard, smiling as he greeted her, "This servant greets Lateral Consort Zhang, the Empress is extremely fortunate."

The Empress Zhang had changed methods to support Zhang Yuanqing, and had even sent his most popular person — Kunning Palace's head eunuch, Zha Liang He, here.

The way the little palace maid looked at Zhang Yuanqing in the courtyard had slightly changed.

Zhang Yuanqing felt that he could finally straighten his back, "Eunuch Zha, please rise, please don't scold me. You are the empress's big red man, how can I ask you to pay respects?"

If he did not have enough skills, he would have been trampled by someone else long ago. Now that Mistress Yang had flung her horsetail whisk, she said loudly, "Oh, this is what a real servant is, this servant was instructed by the Empress just now to remind her that you are a proper daughter of a noble family, the pearl of the Elder Zhang, if you marry the Third Prince, then it would be a great injustice of you to do so. If the Third Prince can't do it, you can only look for the Empress to be your mistress …"

As he spoke, the smile on his face deepened as he gestured for the eunuch behind him to bring out the items. "The empress even specially sent a servant to deliver you a congratulatory gift!"

When the red silk cloth on the tray was lifted, everyone could not help but suck in a breath of cold air — this was a jade ruyi, sparkling and translucent. It was clearly not an ordinary jade.

Everyone understood what the Empress Zhang meant.

Even though Zhang Yuanqing was a bit shrewd, he could not help but reveal a look of ecstasy on his face. If she did not remember wrongly, when Third Princess married the Third Prince, Empress Zhang had only bestowed him with some gold, silver, and jewelry.

Thinking up to here, she felt even more excited. "I'd like to ask eunuch to go back and thank esteemed empress for me. I'll personally pay my respects to her in the palace tomorrow."

Cha Liang He laughed as well, his voice shrill. "Esteemed Empress has been looking forward to you …"

The ladies around Zhang Yuanqing also started to flatter him. After all, everyone felt that the Third Prince was definitely going to succeed the throne, since he only had one daughter in the Third Princess today. If Zhang Yuanqing became the man in one fell swoop, maybe Zhang Yuanqing might even become the empress dowager in the future … The situation in this palace was never certain. In the past, no one thought that the Empress Dowager Wang would be able to become the most respected woman in the Daqing Dynasty.

There was even talk of setting up a poetry club... This was Zhang Yuanqing's strong point!

Lin Shu, on the other hand, felt that it was boring. Seeing how Lin Hui was dragged by the girls until she couldn't leave, since Lin Hui's identity was right there, and she was now the direct daughter of the trusted Marquis, and was going to be the Huaiyin's wife in the future, these people naturally wouldn't give up the opportunity to get the position of a noble. Lin Shu thought for a while, then turned and left.

When she passed by the courtyard Wang Manjing was in, she suddenly stopped.

This Wang Manjing was indeed a powerful person. Back then, it was clear that the Princess Changze that he had conspired with to murder had married Wang Pei, but Wang Manjing had completely left this matter alone. When she returned to the capital once more, Wang Manjing had already been sent to the side of the Third Prince to serve him. She couldn't even imagine how Wang Manjing had flawlessly done it that day. He was clearly just a palace maid, but he was actually able to point out the points in his Tzu Ning Palace in such a perfect and flawless manner.

The yard was completely silent. It was as if he hadn't heard the noise coming from the yard not too far away.

That's right, he was the smart one. He knew that the one laughing at the end was the real winner!

Lin Shu sighed in her heart, to the point where she was already thinking of Zhang Yuanqing's future days … She took a few steps forward, but suddenly remembered that the third prince seemed to have set up a feast in the garden, so she couldn't go to the back garden now.

Just as she turned around, she bumped into someone behind her. With a "Ouch" sound, she didn't even have the time to rub her shoulders as she saw the apologetic look on Eighth Prince's face.

Eighth Prince immediately asked: "Fourth Miss, are you alright?"

Lin Shu blessed her body and then said softly: "I was the one who charged into Eighth Prince."

"No, when I crossed the bridge, I vaguely saw someone who looked like you. I wanted to come over to take a look, but I didn't expect to actually meet you." There was a faint smile on Eighth Prince's lips as he said softly, "Just as I was about to go up and talk to Fourth Miss, I didn't expect Fourth Miss to turn around so quickly. That's why I charged at Fourth Miss …"

His attitude was humble, without the slightest bit of arrogance from the royal family's disciples.

Lin Shu laughed, "Why didn't Eighth Prince drink with the Third Prince and the others?"

Eighth Prince waved his hand and said with a smile: "My alcohol tolerance has always been poor, it can't even compare to Sixth and Seventh Imperial Brother, it's even more so compared to Cousin Jing."

"Is Uncle Jingtang's alcohol tolerance very good?" When she asked that question, Lin Shu remembered it, Lu Jingran was the famous playboy, eating, drinking, gambling, everything. There was no reason why she couldn't drink alcohol.

The Eighth Prince nodded, and there was even a hint of worship in his words, "Cousin Jing has a good alcohol tolerance, so he should be following the Old National Duke Ning … Furthermore, last time I heard from Elder Cousin Jing, they always drink and eat in big gulps in the army camp, unlike us who only drink small sips of wine in the palace. Fourth Miss didn't notice this earlier, and even the Sixth Imperial Brother waved his hands after drinking a few cups.

When they had held a banquet at the palace, the Sixth Prince had been the one to drink the most.

Lin Shu slightly smiled, but she didn't know what to say. In her previous life, she had never even met Eighth Prince before, so she couldn't determine Eighth Prince's temperament.
