With the emperor's biological child? If you didn't have a clear head, wouldn't you really think so? Even if you have a trace of greed for wealth and honor in your heart, you will put aside your doubts and firmly believe in this lie. "

Lin Yutong looked at Mr. Gan: "Then why did you call me here today? Isn't that what you meant?"

"Your Majesty," Gan sighed, "Let's have a reunion dinner."

Reunion is a ghost!

Before the mother and daughter could explain what was going on, someone came from outside to invite them, saying that the emperor was already waiting.

Mrs. Gan patted Lin Yutong's hand: "It's time to eat and drink. Mom is here to do the rest."

The mother and daughter did not need to walk side by side, and walked all the way to the peony table where the banquet was held.

Now is the time when the peonies are in bloom, with large pink, purple, and white flowers, which can be considered a sight.

From a distance, I heard the voice of Emperor Yongkang in the pavilion, "Shun'er said something very good in the court today..."

Gan explained to Lin Yutong in a low voice: "The prince refuted the emperor's words in court today."

"For what?" Lin Yutong looked up at the two people sitting opposite each other in the pavilion and asked in a low voice.

"The emperor wanted to deal with the officials of those prefectures and counties where the spring floods were severe, but the prince stopped him." Mrs. Gan snorted, "It seems that there is a great power behind the prince."

Lin Yutong listened to these two sentences in general and did not comment favorably. She wanted to ask again, but the pavilion was already in front of her. She quickly gathered her thoughts and followed behind Gan to pay respects to the emperor. She turned around and blessed the prince again.

: "Hail, Your Highness!"

Jin Yunshun gave in, apparently having heard about the identity of Lin Yutong's illegitimate daughter, "Sister, you're too polite, please get up."

"I dare not call you that, Your Highness." Lin Yutong felt blessed again, then stood up and stood behind Mr. Gan, standing with his eyes, nose, and heart in mind.

Emperor Yongkang called and pointed to the seat next to him, "Tongtong, come here and sit next to me. Sit with your mother on one side."

This sound of "Tong Tong Ke" made Lin Yutong so hot on the outside and tender on the inside. She glanced at Mrs. Gan and then stood up and sat down.

Emperor Yongkang was very gentle and personally took the snacks on the table to Lin Yutong, "Try the snacks made in the palace. The wisteria cake you asked someone to give to your mother last time was also very good to me. I heard that the wisteria flowers you raised were also very good.

It has caused a sensation in the capital. I heard it and wanted to go and see it myself."

"It's just something for idleness and fun." Lin Yutong took the snack, "How can it compare with the things in the palace?"

This is a self-effacing statement, but as soon as Lin Yutong finished speaking, he heard Emperor Yongkang sigh: "I have wronged you. This palace is your natal family, and I want to come back. I will ask your mother to give you a token soon."

.In addition, it’s time to pack up a palace for you in this palace..."

Do you want to be so serious?

Before Lin Yutong could speak, someone from a distance appeared from behind the peony screen, "Your Majesty, what's going on with this unclear person being left in the palace?" She spoke in a somewhat arrogant tone, looking at Lin Yutong.

His eyes were a bit cold and stern, and he seemed to see the displeasure on Emperor Yongkang's face. Then he changed his tone and said in a low voice: "You are in love with Concubine Chen, and you don't understand my concubine at all."

Displeasure flashed across Emperor Yongkang's face, "What does it look like in front of a child? Sit down and talk."

Lin Yutong originally wanted to say hello, but when she saw Lin Fanghua's behavior, she was so disgusted that she simply sat still.

The smile on Emperor Yongkang's face indeed deepened a lot, as if he liked the current situation very much.

Lin Fanghua glanced at Lin Yutong and wanted to retaliate when she heard a roll call outside: "The Queen has arrived..."

Except for Emperor Yongkang, everyone stood up and stood with hands down to greet the queen. But when the queen was about to go up the steps, the prince stood up and stretched out his hand to help her, "Mother, be careful where you step."

The queen walked up holding the prince's arm and patted him, "My son has a filial piety."

What a loving mother and filial son.

Lin Yutong greeted the queen. This time, the queen's attitude was much colder than the first time she saw him. She just nodded lightly and said, "Tongtong is here too."

When everyone was seated, Lin Fanghua suddenly said: "Your Majesty, look, the Queen is surrounded by His Royal Highness, and the Concubine Chen is also surrounded... Her daughter only has concubines, and nothing under her knees." As she spoke, she stroked her belly, "

I also want to give the emperor a son and a half, but after all, we are not young anymore. I think it is better to find something auspicious. In common people's families, couples without children first support other people's families.

When children come, most of the time they are attracted by their own children..."

This is not unreasonable. It does not take a year and a half for a childless family who adopts someone else's child to give birth to their own child. This may be due to psychological factors. I used to be under a lot of pressure, but now

I decided to adopt a baby and put aside the issue of not getting pregnant for the time being. I felt relieved and it became easier to get pregnant.

When Lin Fanghua said this now, not even the queen could refute it.

Mrs. Gan still had the same expression. She peeled the braised shrimps on the table and put them in a small bowl and handed it to Lin Yutong. Lin Yutong just buried her head in eating. She already knew what Lin Fanghua wanted to do. Qi Duoer and Lin Yuzhi got close to each other.

It doesn't seem to be accidental.

"Your Majesty, I want you to bring a grandchild from the clan and put it under your knees..." Lin Fanghua said, looking at the prince carefully, and said as if to explain, "It's just a baby.

It won’t hinder anything.”

Can it not be in the way?

When a grandson comes over, he is a grandson. The late emperor could confer the title of grandson to the emperor, but couldn’t the emperor do the same? This is of course detrimental to the prince.

The queen put down her chopsticks and said calmly: "After the period of filial piety, the prince will also get married. How many royal grandchildren will he have by then? Whose child is not the heart of the parents, so you can hold it...Li Cai

People should know their duty."

Lin Fanghua's eyes flashed with anger, she is also the emperor's woman, why are you so superior?

In the harem, who doesn't want to be favored, who doesn't want to be below one person and above ten thousand people, but unfortunately, there is only one majesty, and there is only one queen. The fact that he can go from being a widow to the present proves that there is a trace of phoenix in his life.

The pulse really worked. Mrs. Gan ruined her marriage that day, but she didn't take away her luck. Now she has become the noble concubine Chen. Just wait, wait for the blood of the divine bird Phoenix to be absorbed by herself,

Let’s see who can still stop her. At that time, no one can fight if they want to. There are many people who were below others in the past and above them the next day. Today, she presses herself harder and harder,

In the future, if my revenge becomes more severe, who is afraid of whom?

Lin Yutong noticed the coldness in Lin Fanghua's eyes, and also saw the glint in Emperor Yongkang's eyes.

Sure enough, after Lin Yutong ate three prawns, he heard Emperor Yongkang laugh and say: "It's just an adopted child, nothing special. It's a blessing to raise a child in the clan in the palace. It's not impossible..."

As he said that, he looked at Lin Fanghua reassuringly, "Let's explore slowly. We'll talk about it when there is a suitable candidate."

Jin Yunshun's hand holding the chopsticks suddenly tightened.

Lin Fanghua immediately laughed: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The Queen's hands began to tremble, "Your Majesty, please think more carefully. If a woman in the harem who doesn't know the importance of the matter can influence the Holy Inquisition..."

"You want to say that I am a foolish king?" Emperor Yongkang's face suddenly turned cold.

Lin Yutong sighed inwardly. It was really inappropriate for the queen to be placed in such a position. The emperor was obviously doing this to guard against the queen and the prince. Nowadays, everyone can speak, but she cannot.

Gan took a steamed dumpling and put it in the bowl in front of Emperor Yongkang, "Have a good meal, you scared the children. Try it, it's stuffed with sophora flower filling. I saw Tongtong gave me wisteria cake, and I remembered

Eat this." As he said this, he bumped into Emperor Yongkang, who looked cold and said, "I just heard your Majesty praising the prince. Learn from us..."

Emperor Yongkang ate the steamed dumplings in a dignified manner, and the queen also put away the look on her face because she talked about the prince being praised. The tense situation just now seemed like it had never happened.

Jin Yunshun then said with a smile: "My mother-in-law, I'm sorry, but it's just my father's favor."

Emperor Yongkang immediately showed a warm expression: "The Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs reported that Lizhou, Youzhou, and Ping'an Prefecture are suffering from the most serious spring floods. The prefects and other officials should be escorted to the capital for questioning and punishment. I am also deeply aware of this.

I think it makes sense." As he said that, he looked at the prince and said, "Shun'er feels that this spring flood is a natural disaster. It is inappropriate to punish officials because of natural disasters. I won't say whether the prince's words are reasonable, just Shun'er.

If you dare to speak in the court and argue with me, I feel happy."

Lin Yutong raised her eyebrows slightly. It turned out that it was because of such a thing. Emperor Yongkang was really good at acting. The things involved here were definitely not that simple. She thought about it in her mind, reached out and picked up another piece of ribs, and was about to chew it.

Then, Emperor Yongkang suddenly asked: "Tongtong, what do you think?"

Lin Yutong paused with his hand, put the ribs down again, and then sat upright. When he looked up, he saw the smiling face of Emperor Yongkang.

Mr. Gan smiled and said, "Really, what can a girl know?"

"That's not entirely true." Emperor Yongkang glanced at Mr. Gan, "The teacher said that my qualifications were not as good as yours." After saying that, he patted Mr. Gan's hand and said, "What are you afraid of when your family is gossiping over a meal?

"

"Yes! What are you afraid of?" Lin Fanghua snorted, "Your Majesty may not know that the second girl of the Lin family has such a great reputation in the Lin family. From the old lady to the maid in charge, who doesn't know about the second girl?

Awesome. Not to mention his small mouth, but his brain is also very shrewd. It is not an exaggeration to say that he can see thousands of miles."

Damn it. I didn't push Qi Duo'er into a pit and bury it. How could I have incurred such great resentment from you? If you don't cause trouble for me, you will die.

Jin Yunshun also laughed: "Such a powerful girl, are you talking about my sister? The people sitting here today are all family members, so it's okay for me to say it, my sister."

Gan's eyelids drooped and his voice became cold, "Let's talk about it then. That's wrong. Who would really care about a little girl like you?"

Lin Yutong sighed in her heart. People don't want to ask you to hide, and there is no point in hiding. She gritted her teeth and said: "In my opinion, the official's statement is reasonable. The spring flood is a natural disaster, but who said that natural disasters will not be exposed?

**. Dealing with natural disasters** is not just a matter for the court. It is also a matter for officials at all levels, and even for previous officials. Among other things, the spring floods have come and the rivers have surged, so this involves a lot. Why are the dams repaired every year?

, some embankment sections can withstand the test of floods, and some cannot. Who supervised the construction of this river embankment, and in which year it was built. Is there any cutting corners or malfeasance? If necessary, not only the current officials

If we want to investigate, all previous officials must also be investigated. This is called accountability. Whoever bears the responsibility must bear the responsibility. No matter what position he currently holds, we cannot tolerate him."

It is interesting to say that people should be held accountable regardless of their official position.

Emperor Yongkang glanced at Mrs. Gan with a meaningful look in his eyes. He really didn't expect that this girl really understood the hidden meaning. Even Mrs. Gan was surprised.

Because the things involved here are far from being as simple as they seem.

The officials proposed by the Ministry of Civil Affairs to be questioned are more or less related to Prince Duan. This was originally used by the emperor as a signal to clean up the court. As long as we start with these local officials, sooner or later the following branches will be involved.

Zhi Manman, the emperor is eager to replace a group of veteran ministers in the court. This is a good breakthrough. But I don’t know who spoke in the ear of the prince. The prince then refuted Emperor Yongkang’s words in the court. Replace these people.
