These words were obviously mocking Qi Guiren for his low status and unworthy of the tapestry she gave him.

Before Lin Chonghan finished speaking, Qi Guiren was so angry that she cried. Tears rolled down her pretty and fair cheeks. She wiped the tears randomly while sobbing.

Lin Chonghan:...dumbfounded

She Zhang Er was confused. Qi Guiren, who cried when others retorted, why on earth would she provoke herself?

"I want to tell, tell the emperor," she cried loudly, wiping her tears with her sleeves, "I want to tell my aunt, and let her make the decision for me..."

Lin Chonghan's forehead twitched. She raised her head and looked at Concubine Xian and Concubine Ning. She saw four words clearly written in everyone's eyes: gloating over misfortune.

She looked at the queen again, but the queen innocently expressed her helplessness. She explained: "This is the youngest daughter of the queen mother's brother, and she is the apple of the Qi family's eye."

Obviously, Qi Guiren cannot be easily offended by others. Even the queen has to weigh her words carefully, let alone a little princess like Lin Chonghan.

——She was really unlucky for eight lifetimes. Lin Chonghan had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask: "Then if I give the nobleman a piece of silk tapestry, can the nobleman forgive me for being presumptuous?"

Qi Guiren cried and stretched out two fingers: "I want two horses."

Lin Chonghan: "...Okay."

"It's just that the quantity of tapestry brought by my daughter is not enough," she explained euphemistically. "Please allow me to go out of the palace to get some and then present it to you."

Qi Guiren didn't know when he grabbed her by the hem of her clothes. She hiccupped and asked, "You must enter the palace quickly, or I will tell my aunt!"

Lin Chonghan should obey his orders.

So she had to run around again, take out the silk tapestry from home and then enter the palace, but this time she went directly to Qi Guiren's palace.

Qi Guiren lived in Fanghua Palace, which had always been the residence of beloved concubines. The emperor felt pity for her young age and made her the head of the first palace.

When Lin Chonghan came in, Qi Guiren was holding a black cloud covering the snow and playing with it.

She raised her eyes and glanced around, only to see that the furnishings in the Fanghua Palace were very luxurious, which was enough to show the emperor's favor. Qi Guiren was sitting in the main seat, with a bottle of wintersweet on the table beside him, and a little palace maid was giving it to him.

She peels chestnuts.

"I have met you noble man," Lin Chonghan saluted, and then handed the carefully selected kesi silk to the maid in charge, "These are the two pieces of kesi silk that my maid picked for you."

Seeing that she was young, Lin Chonghan specially selected some pieces of tapestry embroidered with fashionable patterns. When Qi Guiren saw it, he was really happy and hurriedly asked someone to put away the tapestry.

The child's emotions came and went quickly, and Qi Guiren became extremely happy now. She put aside the dark clouds and covered the snow and stepped forward, holding her hand affectionately and praising her good eyesight.

Lin Chonghan finally saw her moodiness, and she didn't dare to be complacent about it.

Qi Guiren asked her: "I am very happy. If the princess has anything you want, I can give it to you!"

What can she want, and what can she dare to want?

Lin Chonghan's eyes wandered around the Fanghua Palace, and soon fell on the wintersweet on the desk. She said softly: "If you are willing to give up your love, you might as well give me a wintersweet."

*

On the way out of the palace, Lin Chonghan and Chunri were sitting in the carriage. She was silent for a long time while holding a wintersweet gifted by noble Qi.

Chunri looked at her face carefully and asked: "Why did the girl have to suffer this injustice today? Mr. Qi is the apple of the Qi family's eye, so how can the girl not belong to the Marquis?"

Lin Chonghan shook his head and said warmly: "That's not true. The Queen Mother is the emperor's biological mother and the king; even if my father has taught His Majesty for a period of time and has made great contributions to the country, he is still just a minister."

She did not say anything more to Haruhi. The situation in the palace was complicated and unpredictable. The two concubines Xianning and Concubine Xianning were fighting openly and secretly, but they were always suppressed by the queen.

The Queen Mother's Qi family is a relative, so isn't the Queen's mother's family, the Xu family?

The Qi family and the Xu family have been constantly having disputes in recent years. The Qi family has always been better than the Xu family because of the Queen Mother. However, when the Queen Mother passed away, the Qi family lost support.

What's more, the Eastern Palace has been established, and when the prince ascends the throne, the Qi family will truly be in trouble.

So they couldn't blame the Qi family for sending Qi Qi into the palace in a hurry. They were probably hoping that she would continue to be favored and give birth to a prince.

The carriage quickly arrived at the Lin Mansion. Lin Chonghan got out of the complicated thoughts and got off the carriage.

She summoned Qiu Sanji, and with the surprise in his eyes, she told him that Kesi had passed the clear path in front of the emperor.

"Kesi will soon become popular in the harem," she told Qiu Sanji, "I remember you brought back a hundred pieces of Kesi. My family has a good shop on Zhuque Street in the inner city, and I have asked people to prepare it.

It will be open for business today.”

She continued: "The shop will be opened in your name, and only five horses will be sold every day."

Qiu Sanji looked hesitant and asked: "Princess, are five horses too few, and - how should the price be appropriate?"

"Quite a few." Lin Chonghan looked calm, "As for the price? Naturally, the one with the highest price will get it."

Qiu Sanji was secretly frightened by her boldness.

She asked Qiu Sanji to keep an eye on the shops in the capital, and told him that she was planning to go to Jiangnan. The results of Lin Ziqiu's imperial examination had already come out, and he was among the top two, so Lin Chonghan and Lin Shijing prepared to help him return home.

She warned Qiu Sanji: "Some dignitaries will be dissatisfied with such sales. If something happens to you, take my name card and go to my father."

Qiu Sanji naturally agreed, but after he knew that Lin Chonghan was going to Jiangnan, he always felt a little hesitant. He wanted to tell her about the Fang family in Anqing Mansion, but he also felt that the Fang family should not dare to provoke her, so in the end he did not say a word.

With everything arranged properly, Lin Chonghan could relax and prepare to leave tomorrow, but until just before going to bed, she vaguely felt that she had forgotten something.

It wasn't until the next day that the Lin family was stopped on the outskirts of the city. Lin Chonghan raised the curtain and looked at Gu Qingzhang, who had an unhappy face, that she suddenly realized that she had forgotten something.

She always forgot to tell Gu Qingzhang that she was going to Jiangnan!

"The princess is such a noble person and forgets things." Gu Qingzhang smiled sadly. Regardless of Lin Shijing's objections from outside, he squeezed into her carriage forcefully, "The princess left the capital without leaking any news to me.

It’s so cruel to leave me alone to guard the empty boudoir.”

Lin Shijing ridiculed him outside the carriage: "Master Gu is so talented in literature that he uses it even when he is alone in his boudoir. Since the Marquis hates his wife, he should stay well in his boudoir."

Gu Qingzhang poked his head out of the carriage. He first motioned for his people to get out of the way so that the Lin family could continue their journey, and then he looked Lin Shijing up and down.

After looking at him with unclear eyes, he turned around and whispered to Lin Chonghan: "Chonghan, I haven't seen your second brother for so many years, why is he still so poisonous? No wonder he can't find a wife."

Although he was speaking in a low voice, Gu Qingzhang's voice was not low enough for everyone around him to hear.
