Chapter 21: Retribution

Mrs. Gu tightened her hands, and Princess An, who was not smiling, looked at each other, and said to Lin Liangchen beside her, "Mrs. Lin, you can invite me too."

Lin Liangchen nodded, and followed behind. Liu'er, who was following Lin Liangchen, had already been beaten up and down by the tense atmosphere. Now he could finally leave this dreary place, and followed Lin Liangchen's steps. Much faster.

Sensing Liu'er's footsteps, Lin Liangchen squinted and said in a low voice: "Liu'er, don't be too nervous, just follow me carefully, and don't get lost."

If she really gets separated, Lin Liangchen probably won't have the time to find someone, and then she will have to be severely ridiculed by Princess An who has been staring at her from the moment she entered the door. In front of so many people, Lin Liangchen naturally doesn't want to be ashamed Yes, you must know that in this capital city, if a woman is careless and loses face, it means that the entire family's face is lost. Although Lin Liangchen is not that serious, she is unwilling to do anything if she loses face to Xu Han. of.

in addition...

Xu Han will definitely recognize his ancestors in the future. If people from the Yingyong General's Mansion say these things, or threaten Xu Han to divorce her, and show her face, then the loss outweighs the gain. Besides, Lin Liangchen is not that kind of fool .

With a confident smile on Lin Liangchen's face, Liu'er was in a daze, and nodded in a daze, "I know."

"It's good to know, keep up, pay attention to relax, don't be too unruly."

This naturally refers to Liu'er walking too fast.

Liu'er blushed shyly, "Yes."

Concubine An led the way and introduced, and Shizi Concubine Gu followed behind. Compared with the secret fight in the inner hall just now, at this moment, Princess An and Mrs. Gu look like they are really harmonious mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Lin Liangchen pursed his lips. Followed at the end, arrived at the Lotus Pavilion, Lin Liangchen sat at the end of the banquet, just sat down for a while, Gu asked someone to invite Lin Liangchen to sit next to her, Lin Liangchen didn't understand, so he looked at Gu She glanced at Lin Liangchen, only to see her smiling and winking at Lin Liangchen.

Lin Liangchen looked again at Princess An, whose expression was as heavy as the bottom of a pot. Shaking her head, Princess An snorted coldly when she saw this. Clearing his throat, he said, "If Mrs. Lin is not satisfied with her seat, I'll ask someone to change it for you."

As soon as this was said, everyone at the banquet looked at Lin Liangchen who was sitting at the end. Lin Liangchen heard this. I almost didn't greet the eighteen generations of Princess An's ancestors. As soon as she entered the palace, before she saw Princess An, Princess An sent a little girl to deliberately let her go around the palace. Although she didn't say anything, she has supernatural powers. One way is near, and that way is far away. Very clear.

Then we arrived at Rongxuan Hall.

Concubine An was drinking tea when she was obviously fine, and even told the girl that she was busy with household affairs. Let her wait outside.

Although the weather in October is not hot, it will be a little warm under the sun. At this moment, it is good to deliberately say that she is not satisfied with the position in front of so many wives. Isn't this a disguised way to attract hatred for her?

How dare the wife of a fourth-rank general dare to challenge a first- and second-rank woman with an imperial order?

Sure enough, from the eyes of these ladies, Lin Liangchen saw contempt, ignorance, and sarcasm, and restrained his emotions, Lin Liangchen stood up and replied, "The princess is worrying too much. The position arranged by the princess is so close to these flowers. It's too late to be happy, so you will feel disgusted?"

As he spoke, a smile appeared on his face.

That smile blinded Concubine An's eyes, she scolded Lin Liangchen bitterly in her heart, raised her eyebrows and said, "Really?"

"Naturally." Lin Liangchen looked at the various flowers beside him, and his joyful smile deepened.

Those ladies looked at Lin Liangchen with surprise in their eyes, recovered, and continued the topic just now.

At this moment, Mrs. Gu also knew that it was because of her relationship that Princess An had the opportunity to embarrass Lin Liangchen, so she gave Lin Liangchen an apologetic look. Lin Liangchen smiled slightly to show politeness, but the smile did not reach his eyes. .

Naturally, the flower viewing banquet in the royal residence was not comparable to those parties that Lin Liangchen attended in his previous life.

This noble lady in the capital not only knows a lot, but also knows a lot about the flowers and plants. When talking about it, everyone is very clear. Lin Liangchen feels that he has gained a lot of knowledge just by listening.

The flower viewing party here is in full swing, and a young woman with heavy make-up came late. Seeing this woman appear, Gu's eyes shot out many cold knives, "Mother Concubine, my daughter-in-law is late, please Atonement."

Compared with the expression on Gu's face, Princess An obviously looked more kindly to the young woman. She smiled and blamed her a few words, and then asked her to sit down. With a flash of light, he asked the person next to him who Lin Liangchen was. The lady next to the young woman was also a lady of the second rank, so she naturally didn't take notice of the second young lady of Prince An's Mansion who had no rank or rank.

Even though the second young lady is Princess An's daughter-in-law, the young woman didn't get the answer, bit her lips bitterly, muttered a few times to herself, rolled her eyes, and couldn't help but raise her voice, asking Lin Liangchen himself, who is she? , why don't you introduce yourself well.

It’s not too harsh to say, but it’s just a bad intention, not to mention Shen’s ignorance, so Lin Liangchen also felt strange, and slowly glanced at Shen, “Is this lady asking me?”

"Nonsense, I'm not asking you, can I still ask ghosts?"

Everyone at the banquet took a deep breath and looked at Shen Shi with different eyes. One and two felt that the second young mistress was arrogant, and because of the face of Princess An, no one just spoke up to reprimand, Gu Shi wiped it with a handkerchief. Wiping his hands, he reprimanded him expressionlessly: "Second brother and sister are so arrogant, it's fine if you come late for the banquet by yourself, and now you are still questioning the guests invited by the mother and concubine in front of so many wives?"

Shen's face turned pale, and she opened her mouth, wanting to justify something, Princess An interrupted immediately, "Okay, there's nothing to argue about this matter, Mrs. Lin, please..."

Before she finished speaking, the imperial concubine chair that Princess An was sitting on suddenly broke her two legs. He was crushed to the ground, and screamed all over his body, which was even more piercing in this extremely quiet lotus pavilion.

The wives who were sitting there stood up one by two and three in shock, and looked at Princess An who was pressed down by the chair.

Gu Shi and Shen Shi were so frightened that they couldn't utter a word. The first thing they reacted was, like those women, they looked at Princess An. The servant girl went to call someone, "What are you still doing in a daze, why don't you hurry up and rescue the princess?"

At this moment, although Mrs. Gu couldn't help being overjoyed, she was even more excited about the kind of maids who commanded Princess An. When she first married in Prince An's mansion, Mrs. Gu was often in the hands of those maids and mothers of Princess An. I suffered a loss, and now I have another chance, so naturally I will order it desperately.

As for Princess An's daughter-in-law, Shen Shi, she was so frightened that she was about to faint and limp at the moment, so why not worry about Princess An screaming non-stop under the weight of the chair?

Seeing Concubine An's screams, Lin Liangchen snorted coldly in his heart, and asked Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Zhang, who was unwilling to leave him, "Mrs. Zhang, do you think the princess is okay?"

Mrs. Zhang was so frightened that she yelled aloud before realizing what Lin Liangchen said, "No... I don't know."

But judging by Princess An's screaming appearance, it is estimated that the situation is not very good.

"Oh, I was really scared to death just now. It's the first time I've seen a chair that big can break..."

Mrs. Zhang echoed again and again, "That's right, it's also the first time I've seen you."

The first time I saw it, I was so shocked.

If the chairs in the future are not checked carefully, she will never dare to sit on them.

The two were talking in a low voice, no one noticed. When Mrs. Gu sent her maid to call the guards in the mansion to lift up the imperial concubine chair and rescue Princess An from below, Princess An's complexion turned purple and she passed out.

Seeing Princess An like that, Mrs. Gu was taken aback, "You...you guys, what are you still doing, why are you still looking for something, and carry the princess back, and you, I feel like going to the doctor , tell him to hurry over and see how the princess is doing."

The maidservant left in a hurry, Gu took a few deep breaths, and said to the wives who were whispering: "Ladies, I'm really sorry, what happened today has spoiled everyone's interest, wait for the princess to see you later Now, let's invite everyone to come and enjoy the flowers..."

At this moment, who else would be thinking about the flower appreciation, hearing Gu's words, naturally wished to leave early, they all said it was okay, and each of them left An Wang's mansion with soft feet and soft hands being helped by the maid.

After Lin Liangchen said goodbye, he also took Liu'er to leave. Before he could take a few steps, he was stopped by Mrs. Gu, "Mrs. Lin, I'm really sorry. I wanted to get together with you after the banquet. Knowing that this kind of thing happened, I will post another post to Madam after the affairs of the palace are over."

Lin Liangchen looked at Mrs. Gu flattered, "Will this... be bad?"

"What's wrong, you are the son's savior, so of course you are my savior. Do you need any purpose for treating your own benefactor?"

After saying hello, Lin Liangchen took Liu'er and left.

After leaving the palace, Lin Liangchen breathed a sigh of relief, stood outside Prince An's palace for a while, and then waited for his own carriage to arrive. After getting in, Lin Liangchen looked at Xu Han expressionlessly. Xu Han was given by Lin Liangchen. Staring in astonishment, he gestured again and again, Lin Liangchen insisted on not saying a word, Xu Han was a little anxious and asked Liu'er.

When Liu'er was in Prince An's mansion, he was scared to death, and now he is still in shock. When Xu Han asked, he trembled for a while, "Master, what do you want...to know."

Xu Han sighed, "It's nothing, just rest." (To be continued...)
