Chu Jingxing was a little proud.
Although there have been repeated failures and setbacks before, the situation is finally clearing up now.
Wei An and the others were still in the dark, probably dreaming of going to Fujian, unaware that danger was coming. He could not wait to see the scene of Wei An and the others panicking and crying.
Wei An was paying a visit to Concubine Lin Shufei.
Concubine Lin Shu was very kind and personally helped her up. She looked at her again and again, feeling filled with joy. She reached out and plucked a golden hairpin with the inscription "Fu Niu Wang Yue" from her head, and personally inserted it into Wei An's hair. She said softly, "This hairpin was made by the emperor's order. It was said that there was only one, and after the hairpin was made, the pattern was destroyed. It is just right for you."
Wei An was somewhat flattered and quickly stood up to decline: "My Lady, this is too precious. I dare not accept it."
Concubine Lin Shu smiled and said, "Why should I be afraid of accepting this?" She took Wei An's hands and helped her sit on the chair. "Don't be nervous. I didn't say that if you accept this hairpin, you must become my sister-in-law. This is just a small gift from me to let you know that I am not that difficult sister-in-law."
Wei An couldn't help but smile at what Concubine Lin Shu said.
Concubine Lin Shu laughed: "What are you laughing at? I am serious." She nodded to Master Xie, and Master Xie led everyone out.
"He has been with me since he was a child, and he never smiles. I often tell him that I don't know what to do with my life." Concubine Lin Shu sighed and said, "But who would have thought that he would actually tell me that he has someone he likes. I am really happy and worried. After all, although he is a good person, he does have a troubled family background. He loves his daughter and would never let her suffer so much."
Sometimes she called herself "this palace", and sometimes she couldn't help calling herself "I". It was obvious that she was really happy, so Wei An lowered his head.
After a while, she raised her head and looked at Concubine Lin Shu obediently and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for being so bold. I..."
Concubine Lin Shu hummed, and seeing that Wei An looked a little embarrassed, she thought for a moment before saying, "You don't want to?"
Wei An lowered his head for a long time, and after a while he looked up at Concubine Lin Shu and said, "It's not that I don't want to, it's that I don't think the Third Young Master and I are suitable."
The smile on Concubine Lin's face faded a little, but she did not seem angry. She nodded at Wei An, motioning her to continue.
Wei An honestly said what he was thinking: "Third Young Master is good, but he doesn't like to talk much, and I don't like to talk much either. He likes to handle things alone, and I am the same. Two people like this may be considered loyal friends, but once I think about being husband and wife and living together for a long time, I feel a little scared."
She told Concubine Lin Shu honestly: "The Third Young Master treats me well, and I have feelings for him, but I really don't know where this special kindness comes from, just like I don't know why he likes me, and the Third Young Master is unwilling to say. Even when he wanted to propose marriage, he asked you to do it..."
She has been through marriage, so let alone getting married, just getting familiar with each other will be enough.
Concubine Lin Shu looked at Wei An with a deeper look in her eyes: "You actually know all this."
Not only that, Wei An sighed deeply: "Madam, what's more... If I like Young Master Lin, then naturally all of this wouldn't be a problem. I can always change myself, or ask him to change, but unfortunately..."
This girl was really bold and honest to say the three words "I don't like it" directly in front of her.
For some reason, Concubine Lin Shu couldn't feel angry. She paused for a moment before asking, "Don't you like him at all?"
Wei An lowered his head and thought for a moment: "When I was watching a play, those young ladies would fall in love with a person and they would want to see him all the time and lose their appetite for him. If that's what you're asking about, I don't have any of that."
Concubine Lin Shu asked again: "When you see him, does your heart beat faster and you dare not look him in the eye?"
Wei An thought about it, and Shen Chen's eyes appeared in his mind.
There were several times when she was at Phoenix Terrace and in Baoding Prefecture, her cheeks became hot because of Shen Chen's gaze, and she turned her head away and dared not look at him again.
She shook her head hastily.
Concubine Lin Shu sighed deeply: "Okay, I understand what you mean. I thought you would think about it for a while, but I didn't expect you to make up your mind and make a decision so quickly."
She is truly an extraordinary girl, no wonder Young Master Lin likes her.
If the two of them were not destined to be together, there was really no need to hold on. Concubine Lin Shu smiled and nodded at her: "You surprised me, but I like you very much."
It is much less troublesome than those who procrastinate and refuse to give results.
Wei An breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that Concubine Lin Shu and Young Master Lin had a very good relationship, and she was afraid that these words would make Concubine Lin Shu angry. However, she did not expect Concubine Lin Shu to be so considerate and generous. After thanking Concubine Lin Shu, she asked her, "Your Majesty, can I ask you a question?"
Concubine Lin Shu nodded and said, "Ask me. If I know something, I will tell you."
Wei An pursed his lips and asked: "Does your Majesty feel that there is something wrong with the Queen?"
Concubine Lin Shu was very perceptive and immediately understood Wei An's meaning. She looked at her deeply and asked her, "What kind of wrong do you mean?"
Wei An lowered his head and smiled: "I don't know what's wrong either. Your Majesty has been in the palace for so long, so you must be able to tell if there is anything wrong with someone better than me, right?"
It really is a little fox.
Concubine Lin Shu smiled and shook her head again, then said seriously, "It is indeed a little wrong. The Empress originally hated Concubine Peng De to the core, but Concubine Peng De has not been to Fengyi Palace to pay respects recently, and the Empress has not made things difficult for her."
This was already a very unusual thing. After all, before this, Empress Fang had never shown any dislike for Concubine Peng De, and would never miss an opportunity to make things difficult for her.
Wei An nodded and looked at Concubine Lin Shu: "That's it."
Concubine Lin Shu quickly asked her, "What is it?"
Wei An smiled, thought for a moment, and then said, "I can't tell you right now, but the Third Young Master will surely come to give you the news in person later. But Your Majesty, you'd better check the people serving in your palace again to see if there are any new faces."
When Concubine Lin Shu thought of something, the gentle expression on her face immediately turned into a cold one. She then coughed, glanced at Wei An, and nodded, saying, "I understand. I will investigate it carefully."
It was getting late and it was almost evening. Since everything had been discussed almost completely, Concubine Lin asked Master Xie to escort Wei An out of the palace.
