Chapter 199 The position of side concubine

  The people in the Lin family were all smiling, but when they heard what Wang Kun said, everyone's expressions changed, and the smile on Lin Mengyao's face froze even more.

  She raised her head, ignoring her usual stability, and looked directly at Wang Kun and said, "Elder-in-law, did you declare the wrong order?"

   "Miss Lin was joking, miscellaneous people dare not commit the serious crime of beheading."

  Hearing what Lin Mengyao said, Wang Kun said with a smile.

  Although there was still a smile on Wang Kun's face, there was no smile in his eyes. He looked at Lin Mengyao and said in a low voice, "Miss Lin, accept the order."

  Looking at the imperial decree in Wang Kun's hand, Lin Mengyao felt that her whole body was on the verge of collapse, but she still forced out a smile, "My daughter accepts the decree."

   "Eunuch, I'll see you off."

  Lin Ruhai has been in the officialdom for many years. Seeing Wang Kun walking outside, he hurriedly stepped forward. When he saw Wang Kun go out, Lin Ruhai silently stuffed a purse into Wang Kun's hand.

  The purse was so light and weightless, it was obvious that it contained silver notes.

   "Master Lin is polite."

  Wang Kun put away his purse and looked at Lin Ruhai with a smile on his face.

  Lin Ruhai stepped forward, lowered his voice and said, "Elder-in-law, I wonder if you can mention a few words. Is there any reason for this decree?"

   "Master Lin, Prince Qing's main concubine is the lady of Chujiang Palace.

   After saying this sentence, Wang Kun refused to speak again, and left directly.

  Lin Fu.

   "Heh... it turned out to be just a side concubine. It sounds nice to say that she is a side concubine, isn't she still a concubine?"

   "Yao'er, what is going on?"

  Lin Ruhai's concubines made mocking noises after learning the imperial decree.

  Mrs. Lin didn't dare to quarrel with those people, and looked directly at Lin Mengyao.

  But Lin Mengyao didn't look at anyone in the Lin family, but ran out directly.

   "Yaoer?"

  Looking at Lin Mengyao's back, Mrs. Lin's eyes were full of anxiety.

  After leaving the Lin Mansion, Lin Mengyao ran directly to Prince Qing's Mansion.

   "Miss Lin?"

  As soon as she walked to the door, she saw Pei Wu. Seeing him, Lin Mengyao said directly, "Is the prince there? I want to see the prince."

   "I'll take the lady there."

   "Thank you."

  Lin Mengyao followed Pei Wu to the door of Xiao Junhao's study.

  Lin Mengyao's eyes were full of unwillingness, but she still raised her hand and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

   Hearing the voice inside, Lin Mengyao opened the door and walked in.

  Xiao Junhao was practicing calligraphy when Lin Mengyao stepped forward and saluted the man, "My lord."

  Hearing Lin Mengyao's voice, Xiao Junhao's ink dripped directly.

  He put down the brush in his hand before looking up at Lin Mengyao.

   Seeing the scarlet in her eyes, Xiao Junhao said softly, "It seems that you have received the imperial father's order."

   "My lord, tell me what's going on and why it's... a side concubine."

  When mentioning the side concubine, Lin Mengyao tightly grasped her palm.

  She put all her efforts on this man just to gamble, but now, she is just a side concubine.

  Thinking of this, tears rolled down Lin Mengyao's eyes.

  Seeing the tears in the corner of her eyes, Xiao Junhao hurried forward, took out a handkerchief to wipe away the tears in Lin Mengyao's eyes, the man said softly, "Yao'er, I am the one who is sorry for you."

   "But don't worry, I will definitely compensate you in the future."

   "Compensation, how will the prince compensate me?"

   "It was the emperor who bestowed you on me as the concubine. I have no way to disobey the will of the emperor. But in the future, when I ascend to that position, I will definitely leave that most precious position to you."

  Xiao Junhao's voice was very soft, but it reached Lin Mengyao's ears clearly.

  Lin Mengyao's eyes were still full of unwillingness, but they were not as scarlet as before.

  stretched out his hand, Xiao Junhao hugged Lin Mengyao, and whispered in her ear, "Yaoer, trust me."

  The man's voice was a little choked. After a long silence, Lin Mengyao whispered, "I believe in the prince."

  Even if she didn't believe it, there was nothing she could do.

   "I heard that your concubine is the lady of Chujiang Palace?"

"yes."

   "I heard that she is beautiful?"

  Xiao Junhao did not answer.

  General's Mansion.

  Plum Garden.

   "Miss, Miss Jiang is here."

  Jiang Peihuan, who was reading a book, put down the book in her hand when she heard Yueer's voice.

  Afterwards, Jiang Peihuan saw Jiang Yan who walked into the plum garden with her maid.

   Seeing her, Jiang Peihuan was a little surprised.

Although the two of them were traveling together when they came back from Jiangzhou, Jiang Peihuan had been sitting in the carriage with Xiao Nanye all along, so she didn't have much contact with Jiang Yan, so seeing Jiang Yan appearing in front of her at this moment, Jiang Peihuan's heart Very puzzled.

   "I have already been given a marriage by the emperor to King Qing as his concubine."

  Jiang Yan walked up to Jiang Peihuan and spoke directly.

   When Jiang Peihuan heard this, his eyes were even more surprised.

  This incident never happened in my previous life.

  But at this moment, what Jiang Peihuan was thinking about was not about Jiang Yan being given a marriage to Xiao Junhao, but about Lin Mengyao.

  That was the white moonlight in Xiao Junhao's heart. In her previous life, she blocked the way. Jiang Peihuan thought that in this life, Lin Mengyao would definitely become Xiao Junhao's official concubine.

   And I don't want to kill another Jiang Yan.

  Watching Yueer put the tea in front of Jiang Yan, Jiang Peihuan said softly, "Miss Jiang came here on purpose today to tell me about it?"

   "If so, then I would like to congratulate Miss Jiang."

   "Miss Jiang, do you know that besides marrying me to King Qing as the main concubine, the emperor also married him a side concubine?"

   Without waiting for Jiang Peihuan to say anything, Jiang Yan continued, "Prince Qing's side concubine is none other than Miss Lin."

  Hearing this, Jiang Peihuan's heart jumped, but it didn't show on his face.

  Picking up the tea on the table, Jiang Peihuan took a sip before looking at Jiang Yan and saying, "Ms. Jiang may as well speak up if you have something to say."

   "I want to cooperate with Miss Jiang."

  Jiang Peihuan raised her eyebrows, but said nothing.

Seeing this, Jiang Yan continued, "It is said that the enemy of an enemy is a friend. I know that the Lin family and the Jiang family have always been enemies, so I think that Miss Jiang and I can at least agree on the matter of the young lady of the Lin family. .”

   "Sorry, I don't think we can reach a cooperation with Ms. Jiang."

  Hearing Jiang Yan's words, Jiang Peihuan spoke directly.

  When Jiang Yan heard this, she was stunned. Looking at Jiang Peihuan, she said directly, "Why, don't you hate the Lin family?"

   "I really hate the Lin family, but I hate King Qing even more."

  In her previous life, she naturally hated Lin Mengyao in her heart, but compared to Lin Mengyao, Xiao Junhao was the culprit.

   Seeing Jiang Yan staring at her with wide eyes, Jiang Peihuan didn't want to explain any more. Looking at her, Jiang Peihuan said softly, "Miss Jiang, please go back."

"I…"

   "Come, see off."
