No, I was just a concubine, how did I become the queen?

Chapter 500 Jade Ruyi

The Fourth Master will take care of the rest of the matter. Lin Mingyan just needs to eat melon seeds and wait for the Eighth Master and his wife to get into trouble.

But of course the Fourth Master would not go down to play with the Eighth Master, so he asked Su Peisheng to find a smart palace maid from the lower ranks and let them play.

When there are more correspondences, let the palace maids expose them and then harvest them directly.

Now the Fourth Master is thinking about the Queen's coronation ceremony: "After the coronation ceremony, it will be your coronation ceremony."

"The Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Rites will send people to the mansion to assist you with etiquette matters, so you have to go back."

Lin Mingyan knew of course, and nestled in his arms reluctantly: "How long will it take?"

In fact, the Fourth Master's health has almost recovered now, and he is not as busy as when he first entered the palace. Her role is minimal, and it is time for her to go back.

After all, if she was really discovered, where would she put her face?

But even so, she still wanted to act coquettishly.

The Fourth Master rubbed her head and sighed, "I've already asked the Ministry of Rites to speed up the process. We can't wait much longer. You just wait obediently in the mansion, okay?"

If we didn't have to open the Daqing Gate, it wouldn't take so much preparation time.

However, this is a once-in-a-lifetime event, so of course it should be treated with the highest standards.

I would rather wait longer than have any shortcomings.

Lin Mingyan was coaxed by him and enjoyed the ultimate emotional value, which offset the sadness of parting.

Without further ado, Lin Mingyan secretly asked someone to bring Yaliqi to meet her, and then calmly left the palace.

People from the Imperial Household Department and the Ministry of Rites soon arrived, bringing with them thick etiquette books and detailed arrangements.

Lin Mingyan took the book and began to read it carefully.

It records in detail a series of complicated and tedious rituals, from offering sacrifices to heaven and ancestors, the silkworm ceremony to receiving the imperial seal and visiting the Taimiao, and each step has strict regulations and requirements.

Fortunately, when the Fourth Master was working in the Ministry of Rites, he had some free time and brought back a lot of books for her to read. She had some impression of these.

Moreover, she has a good learning ability and devotes herself to preparation, so her progress is not slow.

Every day before dawn, she would get up and start practicing etiquette movements, and she had to do her walking pace, the height of her hands, and the angle of her salute to perfection.

The teaching nanny from the Ministry of Rites provided strict guidance and would severely correct any deviation.

But her attitude was very good, and she didn't dare to act rudely in front of Lin Mingyan.

Lin Mingyan certainly knew the importance of this. After all, in her previous life, even if she was just giving a speech as an outstanding student, she would prepare seriously.

Not to mention this crucial moment, we were on high alert, learning and practicing like crazy...

She was busy every day, so of course Guo Luoluo next door could hear the noise, after all, the two mansions were only separated by a wall.

In particular, Guo Luoluo deliberately ran to the nearest yard and listened to the corner of the next door every day, almost crawling on the ground in a twisted state.

She was so jealous that her feet were about to jump out of her body. She wanted to go up and pull Lin Mingyan down and make her study for two days.

But even though she was so jealous that she wanted to climb over the wall to take a look, she still couldn't replace the person.

She could only contact the palace maid in the Yangxin Palace more urgently, hoping that Lin Mingyan would make a serious mistake in the queen's coronation ceremony, and it would be best if she could be banished to the cold palace and die of depression.

The palace maid followed the Fourth Master's plan, skillfully dealing with them and slowly lowering their vigilance.

As the correspondence became more frequent, the palace maid collected enough evidence and was just waiting for the right opportunity to lure the enemy into action.

The days passed quietly as Lin Mingyan was busy preparing for the coronation ceremony, but the jealousy and resentment in Guo Luoluo's heart grew like weeds.

Looking at the busy and lively scene in Lin Mingyan's mansion every day, the anger in her heart became increasingly difficult to suppress.

On this day, the Eighth Master was again scolded by the Thirteenth Master on the emperor's orders, and all they talked about were some old things.

After all, the Eighth Master had always been on good terms with ministers for the sake of his reputation, and he had helped them clean up their messes many times.

This time an official got into trouble and some of his previous deeds were discovered, including a case that involved the Eighth Master.

At that time, the brother of the official's concubine abducted a commoner girl and forced her family to death. He was almost thrown into prison, but it was the Eighth Master who saved him.

There have been many such incidents throughout the dynasties. After all, it is a tradition for officials to protect each other.

But the Fourth Master wanted to make trouble for him and also wanted to make an example of him to scare the monkeys and clean up the atmosphere in the court.

Look, Mr. Ba is in trouble again~!

Guo Luoluo looked at her master and felt like he was about to break into pieces. She felt so heartbroken and angry that she felt suffocated.

A sinister smile played on her lips as she hatched a bold and dangerous plan.

She wants to take the initiative!

The next day, Guo Luoluo sent an invitation to Lin Mingyan, dressed up carefully, and came to her house.

She was holding a valuable gift in her hand, which was the best treasure given to her by the Anqing Palace.

During this period, there were a lot of people sending invitations to Lin Mingyan, and of course there were also sisters-in-law who came to pay their respects.

After all, Lin Mingyan is going to be the queen, so she still has to give face to her sisters-in-law when they visit each other and pay each other a visit.

However, Guo Luoluo did not have a good relationship with her and never came to visit.

When she came this time, she knew there was something wrong, so she called Wu and prepared for battle.

Wu became nervous from the moment Guo Luoluo came into the family.

A pair of sharp eyes looked her up and down, and he slightly raised his nose, sensing something was wrong.

With a sincere apology on her face, Guo Luoluo humbled herself and apologized to Lin Mingyan, saying, "I was young and ignorant and offended Fourth Sister-in-law. Now I have come to repent and apologize to you..."

Lin Mingyan almost got goosebumps all over her body when she heard her hypocritical words.

After all, Guo Luoluo is an arrogant person. If she can continue to be arrogant, she will really think that she is true to her nature.

But this time, his humble and hypocritical appearance is really disgusting.

She was like a slippery and disgusting poisonous snake, hiding in the dark, always wanting to bite her fatally.

"Old Eighth, you're joking. We are all sisters-in-law. There's no need to offend anyone," Lin Mingyan said with a fake smile on her face and a generous mouth that could accommodate everyone from all corners of the world.

Well, you still have to put on a good show.

Upon hearing her words, Guo Luoluo took advantage of the situation and presented her with a generous gift: "This jade ruyi is my sister's most precious dowry. I heard it was a favorite of the Empress of Emperor Taizong of Tang."

"It would be a rare gift to my younger sister, but it is only worthy of its name when it is in the hands of my fourth sister-in-law..."

She flattered the emperor calmly. After all, any queen might want to emulate the virtuous Empress Zhangsun.

Therefore, she was certain that Lin Mingyan would accept it!
