Selling wife for fame? Kick out the scumbag and marry the new emperor to enjoy the harem of favors

Chapter 100 Zhou Baolin's Methods
Royal Garden.

It's rare that it's not very hot today. The wind is blowing, and it's a bit cool walking by the lake.

"It's autumn now, and the lotus in the pond are gradually withering." Xie Jiu said casually, his eyes falling on the withered lotus.

Liu Baolin walked side by side with her and said, "Now is the time to appreciate chrysanthemums. Why don't we go ahead and take a look? I heard from the palace servants that the greenhouse has bred some new varieties this year."

"Okay, it's just a stroll around for a few times to kill some time." Xie Jiu nodded.

Judging from the time, the real boss is about to arrive.

The two of them walked forward, talking and laughing, while in the distance, a figure was looking over here with a frown.

"Why are Concubine Xie and Liu Baolin here too?"

The person who spoke was Zhou Baolin.

It was obvious that she had dressed up carefully, and she had put a lot of effort into everything from her hair accessories to her makeup and dress. She had her hair in a flowing bun, two bright hibiscus flowers in her hair, a pink gem butterfly hairpin, and clusters of velvet flowers. She had peach pink rouge on her face, making her look charming and enchanting.

But the clothes she wore were a little special. She wore a pink and white embroidered robe on the outside. Although it matched her hair and makeup, it was not particularly special. It lacked some refinement and was tied with a belt, so it was difficult to tell what kind of long skirt was underneath.

Xitao followed Zhou Baolin's gaze and looked forward with a worried look on her face.

"Baolin, why don't we go another day? There are other people in the Imperial Garden today, and I'm worried."

"But it's rare for us to find out the emperor's whereabouts, and today's weather is good, which is just right. If we don't move, the money we spent on bribery will be wasted." Zhou Baolin pursed his lips, somewhat unwillingly.

I remember when I came out today.

"We also have to avoid Nanny Xing, who was sent by the Empress. She usually keeps a close eye on us, but it was only with the help of Concubine Chen today that we were able to stop her."

Xi Tao was also a little shaken when she heard this.

Thinking back to when she was changing Zhou Baolin's clothes today and was almost discovered by Nanny Xing, she was a little scared.

Looking at Zhou Baolin who had dressed up specially today, Xitao felt a little more confident.

This time Zhou Baolin didn't care about his appearance at all and just went for it. Not to mention the emperor, any man who saw it would be moved.

As long as I can successfully attract the emperor and have him sleep with me, today's adventure will not be in vain.

"Baolin, I'll go with you!" Xitao supported the person.

After hearing this, Zhou Baolin secretly gritted his teeth and decided not to procrastinate any longer.

At that time, on the other side, Xie Jiu and Liu Baolin did not know that there was a thoughtful Zhou Baolin in the imperial garden. The two were admiring chrysanthemums and chatting.

The purpose of bringing Liu Baolin out today was to let her show up in front of Zhao Xingjin and make her presence felt. Even if she didn't arouse any great interest at the moment, as long as people noticed that there was such a person in the harem, she could slowly push Liu Baolin forward in the future.

While he was thinking about it, he heard a burst of light and brisk footsteps behind him. Xie Jiu turned his head slightly and caught a glimpse of Qingfang jogging towards him out of the corner of his eye.

"Jieyu, the emperor is coming this way from the west side of the Imperial Garden."

Xie Jiu nodded, then a smile appeared on his face, and he turned around and held Liu Baolin's hand.

"Let's go, let's go pay our respects to the Emperor."

"Your Highness." Liu Baolin paused, a hint of uncertainty on her face. "If I don't do it well, please don't blame me, Your Highness."

Although she is not stupid and has some ideas and means, she is not a person who likes to show off and her personality is still introverted. If it were not for family affairs, she would not be willing to make such a change.

Liu Baolin, Chen Cairen, Sun Baolin and Wei Jieyu entered the palace in the same group. If they had wanted to compete for favor, they would not have been so unknown as there were so few people in the harem and almost forgotten by Zhao Xingjin.

Xie Jiu noticed her nervousness and patted her hand gently. "It's okay. Just treat it as a normal greeting today. I will speak for you."

"Yeah." Liu Baolin nodded and said no more. Unexpectedly, when the two turned back and headed in the direction Zhao Xingjin had come from, they hadn't walked far when they heard the sound of a flute coming from the front. The melody was like a woman expressing her love to her lover, full of sorrow and lingering sadness.

The sound made both of them pause slightly.

"Where does the flute sound come from?" Liu Baolin looked puzzled.

Xie Jiu raised his eyes and looked towards the source of the sound. Although he couldn't see anything, he still whispered something.

"So, it seems like there are more people here than just you and me who came to the Imperial Garden to pay our respects to the Emperor today."

When saying this, Xie Jiu had a faint smile on his face, as if he was about to watch a show.

Liu Baolin was a little worried at first, but seeing that Xie Jiu was very relaxed, he didn't take it to heart.

"Let's go and take a look." Xie Jiu curled the corners of his lips.

Then set off first.

Liu Baolin immediately caught up with her half a step behind her.

As the two of them gradually approached, they saw a pink figure in the flowers in front of them, holding a jade flute and playing it passionately.

"Zhou Baolin?" Xie Jiu narrowed his eyes.

I thought to myself, was this arranged by the Queen?
Liu Baolin also recognized the person in front of him, but did not say anything.

Of course, I was also wondering in my heart whether the Queen had any arrangements in the Imperial Garden today.

At the same time, not far away, the outline of a bright yellow sedan chair appeared faintly. It was Zhao Xingjin coming.

After court today, Zhao Xingjin went to Fengtian Palace to burn incense. To return to Chengming Palace, he had to pass through the Imperial Garden. So as long as he knew the news and didn't think too much, he would definitely be able to wait for someone in the Imperial Garden.

Xie Jiu's news came from Qing Dong.

In the past, she was very generous and polite to Yang Zhian and Qing Dong, so it was not too difficult for her to find out some of these things.

I just don't know where Zhou Baolin got the information. Xie Jiu thought that the Queen should not have found out from Yang Zhian or Qing Dong, otherwise these two people would have told her secretly.

They are all shrewd people. If I sell this piece of information to two people, and the two sides collide with each other, nothing will be accomplished. Isn't it offending both of them at once?
Thinking this in his mind, Xie Jiu decided to wait and see what happened and was not in a hurry to lead Liu Baolin forward.

She wanted to see first what arrangements the Queen had made for Zhou Baolin today.

The troops here remained motionless, and Zhou Baolin over there didn't know that she was being observed. She just thought that Xie Jiu and Liu Baolin had gone to appreciate the chrysanthemums and had never returned. She was secretly happy that no one would disturb her plan.

Glancing at the direction where the imperial carriage was coming from, Zhou Baolin thought it was almost time, so he put down the jade flute and began to hum softly.

It was still the same tune, but compared to the flute, the woman's singing sounded more mournful.

On the imperial carriage, Zhao Xingjin did notice the voice. He followed the sound and was a little surprised to see Zhou Baolin humming a little tune.

But what he didn't expect was yet to come.

Zhou Baolin in the flowers seemed to be swept away by his emotions, deeply immersed in them. He was not only humming, but also spinning and dancing like a butterfly lingering in a sea of ​​flowers. Up to this point, everything was normal, but as Zhou Baolin was dancing, his outer robe slipped from his shoulders, revealing the dress underneath.

Zhao Xingjin saw this and his face immediately darkened.

Not only Zhao Xingjin, but also Xie Jiu and Liu Baolin who were observing the situation from a distance showed surprise on their faces at that time.

Without her, the skirt Zhou Baolin was wearing was really a bit frivolous.

"Yang Zhian, call her over to me!"
