Waiting until the three of them went to the side chamber s in the courtyard of First Madam, only after Lin Jia had sent a servant girl to lock the door did she softly say, "The Empress wants to marry you to the Eighth Prince's Lateral Consort. What do you think?"

Lin Shu was stunned. "Empress, what do you mean?" At that time, if there was no Empress Zhang to add fuel to the fire, the emperor would not have given her and Lu Jingran a marriage.

But what did Empress Zhang mean by causing such a ruckus?

Zhang Yuanqing said softly, "Sister Shu, you don't know what Eighth Prince has been up to these past few days … Eighth Prince always has a good temper. Usually, she listens to whatever the empress says, even if there are occasional disputes.

"But this time, Eighth Prince is making a huge ruckus. Not only did he not eat or drink, he even went over to the empress a few times and closed the door for him to disappear. The empress panicked and sent Cha Liang He over to ask, not asking whether she didn't know, but when she did she was shocked. The Eighth Prince hasn't had much to eat lately, and he's skinnier by a whole circle. At that time, the empress was already frightened, and asked what the Eighth Prince wants."

"The Eighth Prince only said that he knew that you were engaged to the Master Ningguogongfuda, that this was a foregone conclusion, and that he wouldn't change anything. He said that he had harmed you for the rest of your life, and he didn't blame the Empress for it, after all, she did this for his own good, but she resented herself for being unable to fight for the Emperor's Wang Family right now, and instead lived like a puppet when it came to fighting for the lady she loved."

He said that mother and son had spoken some words in the room for a very long time, and when Empress came out her eyes were completely red. At that time, she held onto Chao Lianghe's hand and said that he wanted Lin Family's eldest sister and I to enter the palace, and asked if you were willing to become Eighth Prince's Lateral Consort. She also said that as long as you nod your head, he would think of a way to deal with the rest of the matters, but your top priority is to go into the palace and persuade the Eighth Prince …

"If it wasn't for the fact that Empress Zhang wanted her to come this wayhehe wouldn't have come at all. After all, she is now the Lateral Consort of the Third Prince, so he doesn't need to place any importance on a mere Lin Shu," Although he is now the Lateral Consort, she doesn't need to place any importance on a mere Lin Shu.

"Eighth Prince is gentle, refined, and kind, and is kind to anyone. Even the palace maids and Internal Service s would be willing to say a few more words to him. Sister Shu, you have to think carefully, if it were anyone else, I wouldn't even be willing to say such words to her …"

"Lateral Consort Zhang, I think there's still no need." Lin Shu interrupted her sentence with a sneer, "What am I in your eyes? If you don't need it, push me away and use me as a chess piece. Or do you want to use this matter to call me over to deal with the Lateral Consort Wang or to rope in the Empress? "

"Then I'll tell you right now. I'm a person, a living person, not some chess piece. I'm not someone you can just wave around whenever you want."

He was also someone with a temper, but his temper was usually concealed and not revealed.

Seeing that, Lin Jia came out to smooth things over, and laughed: "Fifth sister, from your words, I can see that... As sisters, aren't we hoping for your well-being? If you want to marry Lu Jingran, you will have to rely on others for your entire life. After seeing National Duke Ning's wife's expression and living life, once the National Duke Ning's ancestors have passed away, your life will be even more miserable. "

"When the time comes, we will split up and leave the palace, there won't even be someone to take care of you guys, Sister Shu, you better think carefully, this is not the time to be angry." She never thought that Lin Shu would reject her. After all, anyone who was not a fool would know how to settle this debt.

But humans can't just rely on scheming to survive.

Lin Shu said: "Big sister, I am not throwing my weight around. I am very clear on where I should go and what I should do.

At first, she didn't know what she was thinking. On the contrary, after going through so much, she finally understood.

She was going to marry Lu Jingran, the man who had saved her life multiple times, and the man who was always behind her protecting her.

Lin Shu's face did not look good, "If the two of you came to me for this matter, then there is nothing much to say."

She didn't want to ask Empress Zhang what kind of method he would use in the end, so she didn't care.

Lin Shu turned her head and left, leaving Lin Jia and Zhang Yuanqing looking at each other in dismay.

Zhang Yuanqing still had a gentle smile on his face, but his words were not as pleasant as before, "Big sister Lin, didn't you say that Lin Shu would agree to it back then? "You said I don't need to come at all, that's enough for you. You don't need to be in such a hurry even if you want to show your face in front of the empress …"

If Lin Shu was really that easy to talk to, she would not waste so much effort.

When Lin Jia thought about the words she had said just now, they had now been exchanged into a palm that ruthlessly slapped her face. She felt unhappy in her heart, and what made her even more unhappy was that a mere Lateral Consort dared to speak in such a manner, and did not even know how much weight she had, "I don't understand what Zhang Lateral Consort has just said? What do you mean I want the empress to take credit for? What do I ask for? "I think that's because of you?"

"If I had a few words with my fifth sister, I guarantee that she would have agreed. That day, you framed my fifth sister, and now you're trying to be a good person. No matter what, I won't agree. Why do all the good people and bad people have to be you …" "Now that I've agreed to that saying, I really want to set up a memorial archway as a whore."

With that, he walked out.

Zhang Yuanqing's eyes reddened again. If it was before, how would Lin Jia dare to speak to her like this, then? Wasn't it because she was still a Lateral Consort? What was the point of using a chicken feather as an arrow and acting so arrogantly? I will trample all of them under my feet one day! "

Third Prince had been resting in her courtyard all this time, and she only felt that the Third Princess would no longer interfere with her business. The child was gone, and the person was also placed under house arrest.

In addition, her mother had visited her a few days ago, saying that the Emperor had already sent her grandfather to Fujian.

When she heard that, she was stunned, didn't Fujian have a King Rui? If her mother had not said this to her, she would not have known that the King Rui was a militant in Fujian and that the emperor had been afraid of her for many days. Her grandfather was in the past to suppress the might of the King Rui!

Heh, if this wasn't the emperor's trusted aide, how would the emperor dare to send him over?

Right now, the Lin Family was only relying on the might of the First Princess Pingning. After the First Princess Pingning passed in a few years, how could this Lin Jia still act so arrogantly?

When the little girl beside her saw her expression darken, she walked forward with trembling steps and said, "Empress, should we do something now? Or go out to the Flower Hall and look for Madam Hou in the letter? "

What Zhang Yuanqing had said just now was to go and see Madam Hou in her letter.

Zhang Yuanqing said coldly: "What is there to see with the wife of the Zhong Hou? Did you grow three heads and six arms, or did you have a head longer than others? "

She wanted nothing more than to leave immediately, but thinking that she represented the face of the Third Prince today, she still went to the parlour.

After Lin Jia went to see the First Madam, he went to the Green Pine Academy and only held onto Grand Madam's hand until tears fell. What do you call my life here? Now, not only must you serve First Princess, you must also take care of him and also go to the palace to deal with the Empress. "

"First Princess is not a good person to be with, and the empress is a shrewd person as well. First Princess Pingning and the empress are currently on the same boat, and I'm rather lazy, so I don't really like going to the palace. All I'm sent to do is to make a trip to the palace."

"You don't know, last time when I went to see Juan Niang and wanted to hug her, she only saw me hiding my head in her embrace. When I looked back then, my heart felt so uncomfortable … Initially, she had intended to stay more in the palace to accompany Juan Niang, but when First Princess Pingning gave the order, she had to go to the palace. If she was unhappy, she said that she would give it to Young Master as a house for the Cypriots … "

After saying so, she couldn't help but start crying.

Grand Madam also felt bad. He patted her back and said, "This woman's days are slowly coming out. His many years of being a wife are all waiting for a long time. As for the Juan Niang, he's so young, what are you pestering him for? Something like a blood relative cannot be forsaken. "

"When Lin Jia was originally by her side, she was close to the First Madam, but when Lin Jia grew up, she was as filial as the First Madam," According to my understanding of Lin Shu, the Empress's request, she would definitely not agree to it. "When Lin Jia was originally by her side, there was no need to be close to the First Madam, but when Lin Jia grew up, she was as filial as the First Madam.

"If the empress had a way, she would've used it long ago." Lin Jia took out her handkerchief and wiped her tears, and said softly, "If the Empress did not ask the Emperor to bestow the marriage, there are many ways to do it, but the mistake is that the Empress was too hasty, the emperor's decree on the marriage has already passed, can we still take it back?"

"The Empress wanted to start from Lin Shu. She said that Lin Shu had confused the Eighth Prince first, and that the Eighth Prince could not do such an ungrateful thing, so she wanted to marry Lin Shu as her Lateral Consort … This way, not only will Eighth Prince be able to obtain Lin Shu, but will also not sully Eighth Prince's reputation. It's a pity that Lin Shu does not agree to it, Grandmother, what do you think we should do? "

Now that the First Princess Pingning had already sent two people in, if this matter did not go well, the First Princess Pingning was afraid that the two concubines would not have the chance to get away.
