Young Master, Don't Show Off - Chapter 56
[Chapter 56 The Imperial Concubine Leaves the Palace]
the Yongping Marquis’ Mansion, Yang Xuan was overjoyed when he heard from his servants that Lin Xiu had left the house.
After the dinner at the Xue Mansion that day, he had planned a perfect plan against Lin Xiu. Once successful, even the Zhao family would not be able to let him get away.
Everything was ready, just waiting for Lin Xiu to join the game.
But this wait lasted for seven days.
Seven days, that damn Lin Xiu, do you know how he spent these seven days?
Seven days, eighty-four hours, six hundred and seventy-two minutes, he was thinking about that plan all the time, even in his dreams, Lin Xiu couldn’t turn over.
Originally, he didn’t hate Lin Xiu so much, but this person was too arrogant.
It was this person’s arrogance that made him unbearable.
What does “I just like to see you dislike me but can’t get rid of me” mean? This is a great shame for the eldest son of a first-class marquis’ mansion!
Daxia now has three first-class marquises. The Zhao family is a newcomer with insufficient foundation, and the power of the other family is not as good as that of the Yang family.
And his father, the first-class Yongping Marquis, is in his prime and has a promising future. If nothing unexpected happens, he may be granted the title of Duke in the next twenty years or even ten years.
Therefore, although the Yang family is still only a marquis, even the direct descendants of the third-class dukes are polite to him.
A small third-class baron’s son dared to insult him like this. This is the most important reason why Yang Xuan couldn’t wait to take action against Lin Xiu.
Of course, his special identity makes it impossible for him to take action against Lin Xiu directly.
Although the Yongping Marquis’s Mansion does not dare to say that it has power over the court, there are many officials who are dependent on it. The Dongcheng Yamen is more like the Yang family. This time, the one who took action for him was the son of the Dongcheng Ling.
In fact, this kind of thing can be done by the Dongcheng Wei, but Wu Qing’s handling of the last incident made him very dissatisfied. This person has been marginalized by Yang Xuan.
Of course, there is another reason why he did not take action himself.
These days, he has repeatedly taken action against Lin Xiu, but he has failed repeatedly. This cannot be explained by the word “coincidence”.
Last time, due to his negligence, he did not investigate Lin Xiu’s whereabouts in advance and did not know that he was making ice for the palace, which led to the failure of the plan. On
the one hand, he did not take Lin Xiu seriously. On the other hand, he could investigate other things in the capital, but who dared to ask about the affairs of the harem? If His Majesty knew about it, would he still have his head?
Everyone knows that His Majesty loves the concubines the most. Once, several censors of the Duchasi just mentioned a few words in the Golden Palace that a concubine in the harem did not walk with manners and should learn more about the etiquette in the palace. Although His Majesty did not say anything at the time, he did not go to court for three months afterwards…
Since then, those censors who could not tolerate a little sand in their eyes did not dare to criticize the concubines publicly, and at most they only reminded His Majesty privately.
Lin Xiu took advantage of this incident and designed him once. If he had taken action directly that time, he would probably have difficulty getting away.
This person is not only arrogant, but also insidious. In order to be on the safe side, it is better for him not to show up.
At that time, even if there is any accident, Dongcheng Ling and his son will be able to resist it alone and will not involve him.
Yang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and reviewed today’s plan again. He found that there were no omissions. He then walked out of Yongping Marquis Mansion with his hands behind his back, and said with a slight smile on his lips, “Let’s go out and watch a show…”
Zhaiyue Tower.
Lin Xiu walked out of the house and came to Zhaiyue Tower as soon as possible, and then waited for the arrival of the Imperial Concubine at the door.
The Imperial Concubine is a very important part of his plan.
Lin Xiu had already had this plan when he came back from Xue Mansion.
In the capital, Yongping Marquis Mansion is extremely powerful. Lin Xiu can’t fight them head-on. As the son of a first-class marquis, Yang Xuan has much more tricks than Lin Xiu.
So he has to rely on other forces.
Even the power that Yongping Marquis Mansion can’t afford to offend.
Enraging Yang Xuan in Xue Mansion is the first step of his plan.
Lin Xiu wants to be arrogant, so arrogant that Yang Xuan can’t bear it anymore, and can’t help but attack him immediately. Then, he stayed at home for seven days and didn’t even walk out of the door, just to make Yang Xuan anxious.
From the third day that Lin Xiu was at home, Yang Xuan arranged for someone to monitor near the Lin residence. At that time, Lin Xiu knew that he was anxious.
When he went out again, Yang Xuan would definitely take action.
This is what Lin Xiu expected.
Therefore, when he went to the palace and came back from the palace, he went through the back door of the Lin Mansion. When he met the Imperial Concubine, he walked out of the main door.
He wanted to be seen by Yang Xuan’s people.
After waiting for a quarter of an hour at the entrance of the Zhaiyue Tower, Lin Xiu saw three figures coming from the direction of the palace.
The Imperial Concubine was holding a pet, followed by two people, one of whom was a delicate little palace maid, and the other was the eunuch next to Emperor Xia.
However, Lin Xiu knew very well that although there seemed to be only three of them, there must be many people secretly protecting the Imperial Concubine. Even if there was only a small problem, this place would be surrounded by people.
Today, the Imperial Concubine did not wear the gorgeous palace dress in the palace, but changed into a plain and elegant Luo skirt, and only applied light makeup on her face. She looked like a beautiful lady.
But the noble, dignified and elegant temperament on her body was not something that any lady could have.
Of course, ordinary people feel that this kind of temperament is just a sense of inaccessibility. Only the real top dignitaries can see that this is a temperament of a superior formed by many years of high positions, and there are not many women with this temperament in the entire capital. The
exquisite little palace maid and the eunuch chief behind her also changed into ordinary clothes.
Lin Xiu walked forward quickly, and before he got close, the imperial concubine said, “Just call me Madam.”
Then, she looked down at the pet in her arms, and said in surprise, “You are right, Ben… After I brought Nannan out, it immediately became energetic…”
Of course, what Lin Xiu said was right, because he was the one who asked the little guy to pretend, and it was he who suggested that the imperial concubine leave the palace. If it is useless, the trust he has accumulated with great difficulty from the imperial concubine may be greatly discounted.
The imperial concubine felt better, and then asked Lin Xiu, “What should we do now?”
Lin Xiu said, “The spirit pet has been in the palace for too long, and it is feeling depressed. Madam, just hold it and walk around the street for an hour, just treat it as ordinary shopping…”
“Shopping?” The imperial concubine glanced at Lin Xiu and said, “I have never been shopping before. What is considered shopping?”
Before entering the palace, the imperial concubine must have been the daughter of a large family, raised in seclusion and rarely going out. After entering the palace, it became even more difficult for her to go out. For an ordinary woman, shopping is like a common occurrence, but she actually asked Lin Xiu what to do.
Lin Xiu thought for a while and said, “Madam, just walk around the streets of the royal capital. Look at whatever you want to see, buy whatever you want to buy…” It
was obviously the first time for the imperial concubine to go shopping. Her elegant face was full of novelty. Not only did she smile more, but her complexion also improved a lot.
Zhu Jin, who was following behind her, was amazed. The queen has been in a bad mood these days, and her complexion is getting worse and worse. The Imperial Hospital has prescribed several prescriptions, but they are of no use at all. His Majesty is also very anxious.
I didn’t expect that the queen’s condition would be so much better just after leaving the palace. Although the son of the Earl of Ping’an was reckless, he did a good thing by mistake.
Several people were strolling on the streets of the royal capital. The imperial concubine, with her stunning appearance and outstanding temperament, naturally attracted the attention of countless people. From time to time, she would bump into the people in front of her because she looked back and peeked, and had a dispute.
It was not unexpected for Lin Xiu to happen.
In fact, when he and Lingyin were walking on the street, such things often happened, but not as frequently as with the imperial concubine.
Lingyin was only seventeen years old and childish. She was beautiful, but her temperament had not caught up.
The noble and elegant temperament of the imperial concubine is something that other women can never fake. Moreover, the ladies in the palace are all well maintained. Even though they are in their early thirties, their skin is still as tender as peeled eggs, and there is not even a crow’s feet at the corners of their eyes. If it weren’t for their mature bodies, people would believe that they are in their twenties. Just
as the few people were shopping, on another street in the royal capital, Yang Xuan was listening to the report of the servants.
“Sir, we have found them. Lin Xiu is hooking up with a beautiful woman. The beautiful woman is very beautiful and has a lot of charm…”
Yang Xuan’s face darkened and he gritted his teeth and said, “Asshole, he has an engagement with Ling Jun, but he dares to mess around with other women. Let Wang Hong take action immediately and report to me at any time…”
There will be updates today, but the third update will be later. In addition, there is another week to be released. The update time may be adjusted in the next two days to update at night, because after the release, it will be written during the day and posted at night. I have to adapt to the rhythm in advance.
