No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

Chapter 454 A high position is what he wants!

Wu had fallen out of favor, and Lin Mingyan heard the news at Zhang Jia's banquet.

Unlike the last time I came to the Prince of Zhi’s Mansion, when there were only two old concubines in the backyard, this time I heard that four new people came at once.

Mrs. Wu is eight months pregnant and is keeping the baby in her yard. It won't come out easily.

Lin Mingyan's relationship with Zhang Jia was just that little bit, mainly because Zhang Jia wanted to repay her favor unilaterally, so she wanted to invite her to everything she did.

Prince Zhi has been very popular recently, so she wanted to bring Lin Mingyan along when she held a banquet.

The banquet was attended by many noble ladies whom she did not know, but Lin Mingyan felt at ease.

Anyway, everyone was there for Zhang Jia, so she just had to sit there, eat, drink and watch the show.

However, many ladies also brought their beautiful daughters, and the reason was self-evident.

Lin Mingyan secretly looked at many beauties. Although they were still young, one could see some of their future beauty.

Zhang Jiashi herself had no son, but since Hongyu was old enough, she had to help take care of him first.

She pulled Lin Mingyan and said, "You have many sons, so you should take a look at them more."

"Although all the girls here today are of marriageable age, there are also younger sisters."

"They were raised by the same mother. If the elder sister is good, the younger sister will not be wrong either."

Lin Mingyan really didn't expect that the triplets were only six years old, and she had already started to look at candidates for daughter-in-law?

"This... is still early," Lin Mingyan's smiling face froze.

In modern times, we have to start looking for wives for our children when they are still in kindergarten?

She really is a bit incapable of accepting it.

Zhang Jia said softly: "It's getting late. If you're slow, the good ones will have already been reserved. Wouldn't that make you lose out?"

Just like Hongyu's wife, she must choose one early, or at least choose one who has a temperament that suits her.

Otherwise wouldn’t life be even more difficult?

Fortunately, Prince Zhi has already separated from the Wu family, otherwise it would definitely not be her turn to be the master.

Lin Mingyan: "Don't we still have to hold a talent show? It's useless even if we choose well."

Young girls have to participate in auditions when they reach a certain age, but it doesn’t mean they can settle down with just the guy they like.

What if Emperor Kangxi takes a fancy to her?

"Don't worry. If you've found something you like, just inform the Empress in the palace first. They will naturally get it done for you," Zhang Jia instructed.

Lin Mingyan understood. The ladies watched the first round, and it would be difficult for the Emperor to compete with his sons and grandsons for the person.

But even though she understood it, she still found it difficult to accept the fact that she was asked to look at a ten-year-old girl with the same eyes as when picking pork.

Zhang Jia was watching with great interest and whispered to her, "Among these, the most outstanding one is the little girl from the Nian family."

"She is indeed a stunning beauty. She is still young now, but she will be amazing when she grows up."

Ok?

Nian family?

Lin Mingyan asked: "Which Nian family?"

"The Nian family of Nian Xialing, the governor of Huguang," Zhang Jia held a small fan, slightly covering her lips.

hiss~~

It's that Nian clan whose Eight Banners of Manchuria and Mongolia are not as beautiful as Concubine Hua.

Lin Mingyan was really curious this time and took a look secretly.

She was a rather shy little girl, wearing a pink Manchu dress, following a woman in a lilac Manchu dress.

She was about ten years old, with delicate eyebrows and fair skin. She was indeed a pretty girl.

But a girl this young really just looks cute, and there is no way to associate her with a woman.

Zhang Jiashi saw her looking at him for a long time and asked doubtfully, "You're interested too? He's a little different in age from your Honghui, isn't he?"

Although some people find older wives for their sons, it still doesn't sound good.

Lin Mingyan came back to her senses and hurriedly shook her head: "No, no, sister-in-law, just watch yours."

This was supposed to be the Fourth Master's concubine. Is she still like that now?

"This girl has excellent looks, but she doesn't have an old Manchu surname, so she's not qualified to be Hongyu's wife," Zhang Jia shook her head. "I guess we're not destined to be together."

For those like this who were born into a Han army banner and had a good family background, their final fate was either to enter the palace or to become a concubine of the prince.

Just like herself, if her father hadn't been so powerful, even the concubine would have been in trouble.

After chatting, Lin Mingyan always unconsciously kept her eyes on Miss Nian.

But this was just a little curiosity. After watching too many plays, I found that none of them were as good as the ones on the stage, so I looked away.

After a day of playing, she returned home and saw the Fourth Master waiting for her at home. She felt like their identities had been reversed.

It was as if she was working hard outside while the Fourth Master was cooking at home.

She was amused by this little idea, and like a cat stealing fish, she covered her mouth and went in.

The Fourth Master put down the book in his hand and jokingly said, "What good thing happened to you? You're laughing like that."

Lin Mingyan didn't dare say such outrageous words to him, so she could only laugh until her stomach hurt.

The Fourth Master guessed that she was making up something about him in her mind, but he didn't know how she could be so happy.

He pulled her into his arms and kissed her, and only then did she forget to laugh.

Kiss me silly!

At night, Lin Mingyan quietly pulled his sleeve and asked, "What's going on, Prince Zhi?"

Today is just a small flower-viewing banquet hosted by Zhang Jia. Every family will hold such a banquet.

Generally, those who come are relatives or the wives of servants, and the gathering is not large in scale.

But everyone who came to Zhang Jia's banquet today was of high status, and most of them came uninvited.

Aren’t these all here to curry favor with Prince Zhi?

The Fourth Master smiled and said, "Is Cha Cha jealous?"

Lin Mingyan threw herself into his arms and shook her head: "No, I'm just tired of trying to make up for it."

Besides, no rational person would do such a blatant act unless they were at the end of their rope.

"If you don't want to go, just don't go in the future." The Fourth Master patted her back and pinched her shoulders.

Lin Mingyan felt pain and grimaced, "Then I'll call myself sick?"

Oh haha~

She is also going to use the ultimate method of house fighting!

"No need, just say you don't want to go," the Fourth Master snorted coldly, "I won't indulge him."

It is unlucky to claim to be sick when you are not sick, and he can't bear to let Cha Cha do that.

Lin Mingyan gave him a thumbs up. The Fourth Master’s cold face was really powerful. He didn’t need to give face to anyone.

Even if he really gave him face, the other person would still have doubts.

However, although he did not give face to Prince Zhi, he already had enough face among all the civil and military officials in the court.

The crown prince was under house arrest and Soetu was imprisoned. As the eldest son of Emperor Kangxi, he was truly the most powerful person for a time.

Especially when he sees clearly that women are just so-so, he will accept any woman who tries to curry favor with him if she is useful to him.

How can a man who wants to accomplish great things be bound by the women in the harem?

The previous feelings for Irgen Jueluo or Wu also disappeared.

A high position is what he wants!
