Even if Lin Hui was careless, entering the palace was something that she would never forget. In the palace, even when one was sitting at the head, one would have to pay attention to a standard. If one was even the slightest bit careless, a mama would cast a sharp gaze at them, with a bit of contempt in her eyes.
Previously, I remembered that when my mother brought me into the palace, she was already a concubine. Now, so many years have passed, and she still seems to be a concubine, hearing my mother say that it seems that she often doesn't see the emperor for more than half a year, and now that she's in the palace, she's just relying on embroidering and admiring flowers to pass the time. ”
Saying that, she changed the subject, ”But why did you ask about this? Why did you suddenly think of asking Empress Hua? ”
”I want Imperial Concubine Hua to help spread the word.” Lin Shu frowned slightly, but she really couldn't find anyone to help her with this matter, ”Then is First Aunt and Empress Hua Ya still in contact?”
”Then I don't know.” Lin Hui shook his head, but then nodded his head, ”It seems to be related, if you didn't say it, I wouldn't have thought of it, not long ago my mother mentioned this matter, saying that Empress Hua's family members are all in Jinling, and their families are not as wealthy as before. My mother thought that she had no one to rely on, and the two of them grew up together, so she often sent people to deliver things, mostly for food.”
”You have to understand that the head of this palace, the favoured Empress is always a noble person, but if it's someone like Lady Huazheng who isn't favoured, the Internal Affairs Bureau would look at their faces and act like they don't even have enough food or clothes for the winter. It's as if they heard from my mother a few days ago that she wanted to send someone to bring some silver frost into the palace …”
Lin Shu said softly, ”Then can I ask for Empress Hua to do me a favor?”
How could Lin Shu be related to the person inside the palace? ”What do you need Empress Hua Mu to help you with?”
Lin Shu said: ”I want esteemed wangfei to send a letter to Eighth Prince, even if it's not possible to send a message, it's good to send a message.”
Eighth Prince?
Lin Hui was startled, from what she remembered, these people did not have much contact with the rich and powerful, she did not even see the Eighth Prince anymore, ”What are you looking for the Eighth Prince for?”
Lin Shu said: ”Don't ask about this, knowing too much will only bring you no benefits.”
She wished that Lin Hui could continue being so innocent and naive like this.
Lin Hui nodded her head, and said softly: ”Then I will try, for this matter, I cannot let my mother know. If she knew, she would definitely go all out to get to the bottom of this. ”When the time comes, the servant that I've asked for from my mother will help her bring a letter in and write under her name to Madame Hua. Write whatever you want to write in the letter, and once Madame Hua opens it, you'll know what's going on.”
She believed in everything Lin Shu said, and since Lin Shu said it in such a way, then he definitely had his reasons.
Even if there was no need to thank the sisters, Lin Shu still thanked Lin Hui properly.
After a few days, Lin Shu's letter was delivered into the palace along with a box filled with silver frost. In truth, she was feeling very anxious, would this letter even reach Eighth Prince?
On the second day, Lin Shu found an excuse to go to the Celestial Fragrance Pavilion.
In the letter, she told the Eighth Prince that she would be waiting for him inside the Celestial Fragrance Pavilion today. There were some things that it would be better for her to personally speak with the Eighth Prince.
When the waiter saw Lin Shu, he had a faint impression of her. Seeing her friendly face, he said even more: ”Yo, young lady, you're really bold, to dare come over. How come I haven't seen the young master who came with you last time …”
Lin Shu looked over, and the waiter quickly slapped his lips, ”Look at my mouth, look at my mouth, take your time, I will be going down first …”
Lin Shu had already ordered a few dishes and brought them up.
Outside, the grass was growing and birds were chirping. Spring was already coming. The street was bustling with hawkers, and the fragrance of malt candy was wafting up from below … It was peaceful.
Lin Shu felt a little panicked in her heart. What exactly did Eighth Prince mean? Did she feel that she owed her, so she insisted on marrying her into her family …
While waiting for her to ponder over the matter, she heard footsteps outside. The footsteps were both light and slow, unlike the hurried footsteps of an ordinary man. It seemed to be a bit weaker.
But when Lin Shu raised hherhead and looked, the one who pushed open the door was Eighth Prince, she did not expect Eighth Prince's expression to be so ugly, to the point that his cheekbones were protruding out, his face did not have any color, and his lips were white … It was no wonder that Empress Zhang was so anxious.
