You are my golden finger

Chapter 124 The mystery of life experience (2)

Winter is approaching, and the chill is getting stronger. Many people are afraid of the cold and simply stay at home during the winter. But people with strong wills are like winter plums, blooming in the frost and snow.

Lin Xijin took some time to go to the palace and pay a visit to the Queen Mother at Yining Palace.

"Empress Dowager, I have made some money from my business in the past few years and have received many rewards from the court. I have opened a charity school and a medical school in Qingyuan, and I am also planning to open a charity bureau to take in the elderly and orphans. I would like to open a charity school, a medical school and a charity bureau in Kyoto as well. I wonder if it is feasible." Lin Xijin humbly asked the Empress Dowager for her opinion.

"Jin girl, your idea is very good. It will benefit the country and the people. I very much agree that you should do it. But once these things are implemented, a lot of money will be invested. Have you considered the follow-up investment?" The Queen Mother had experienced a lot and put forward her considerations.

"In the future, I will expand various businesses and have a steady stream of income. But the biggest problem now is that it is difficult to choose a suitable address." This is the real purpose of Lin Xijin's entering the palace this time.

"It's almost noon. I'll send someone to call the Emperor and the Crown Prince over to have lunch together. How about hearing their ideas then?" The Queen Mother patted her hands and said kindly.

At noon, the old emperor and Murong Xu arrived at Yining Palace at lunchtime. Lin Xijin greeted them and had lunch together.

"Girl Jin wants to open a charity school, a medical school, and a charity bureau in Kyoto. Where do you and your son think would be a good location?"

The emperor pondered for a while before saying, "The charity schools should be convenient for students to go to school, so it is best to disperse them in major residential areas. The medical school and the charity bureau only need to be large enough for easy access. An area can be allocated in front of the entrance to the royal hunting ground in Xishan."

"Girl Jin, how wide a piece of land do you want?" asked the Queen Mother.

"It will take about a thousand acres! Is that okay?" Lin Xijin was nervous, wondering if the old emperor would think that she was asking for too much.

"Okay, after the survey, we'll see if it's convenient to allocate more land to you. As for the charity school, the Ministry of Rites will be responsible for site selection. Just choose three to five locations, and you can decide then." The old emperor made the final decision.

A few people set the rules and were about to disband, but unexpectedly Concubine Yi arrived.

As soon as the imperial concubine came in, she knelt down in front of the empress dowager and the emperor without saying a word, crying: "I am guilty, I am sorry to the heavenly family!"

The Empress Dowager and the Emperor were both confused by her. What was going on? Why did she ask for forgiveness right away? They looked at each other, bewildered.

"Tell me, what have you done wrong? Apologize right away." After all, she was his beloved concubine for many years, and even a relative by marriage had to be used, so the emperor's tone was still very friendly.

"I failed to supervise my staff and confused the royal bloodline!" The imperial concubine burst into tears!

When the emperor heard this, he lost his usual calmness, and the empress dowager also stood up suddenly. They both shouted at the same time: "What's going on? Tell me in detail."

"After I gave birth to the Thirteenth Princess, my personal attendant, Madam Lu, took advantage of my lack of energy and replaced the Thirteenth Princess with her niece's granddaughter. Her nephew was the Captain of the Imperial Guard, Lu Daming, who took advantage of his position to bring his daughter into the palace to replace the princess, and then took the princess out of the palace. It was only because I pleaded with Your Majesty that this damn Lu Daming was arranged into the Imperial Guard! I deserve to die! I didn't know how to judge people and use people well, and I harmed my son! I deserve to die!" The imperial concubine knocked her head so hard that it was hard to tell whether she was in pain or not.

"How could such a thing happen? How did you find out? Where is my son now?" The emperor was also anxious and asked a series of questions.

"On my mother's birthday, Jin'er brought her two sisters, Xijia and Xinlan, to celebrate. My mother found that Xinlan looked exactly like me when I was a child, so she became suspicious and asked about Xinlan's life experience. She found out that Xinlan was adopted by Jin'er."

"It just so happened that we were there to celebrate the birthday, and I was also very surprised to see Xin Lan, and then I realized that the Thirteenth Princess looked neither like a concubine nor like the emperor! So I left my hair and asked Jin'er to help test whether Xin Lan and I were mother and daughter. The test results came out, and she is indeed my daughter!"

"I ordered a detailed investigation of the matter as soon as I came back, and only then did I find out that it was the two aunts and nephews who did it. After my son was taken out of the palace, they also raised him at first. More than a year later, Lu Daming and his wife gave birth to another boy, and took my son to Qingyuan and abandoned him in the land temple. The old beggar had a kind heart and picked him up and took him with Xinfeng. Fortunately, after the old beggar passed away, he met Jin'er!"

The imperial concubine cried bitterly, but that did not stop her from explaining the whole thing clearly.

The Empress Dowager and the Emperor then turned their attention to Lin Xijin, and Lin Xijin had no choice but to recount the process of adopting Xinlan.

"Your Majesty, if you feel it is necessary, you can also take a strand of your hair and let me test you and Xin Lan to find out whether she is your biological daughter." In order to be more precise, Lin Xijin finally said to the emperor.

It’s not that the emperor didn’t believe it, but he thought this DNA test sounded really magical, so he finally plucked out a hair and gave it to Lin Xijin.

"Jin girl, bring some children to the palace to play tomorrow, and let me meet them."

Although Lin Xijin didn't really want to enter the palace again, what else could she do when the most distinguished woman in the court spoke? She could only accept her fate and agree.

That night, Lin Xijin conducted a genetic test on the emperor and Xin Lan, and as expected, the two were indeed parent and child.

Although this was expected, Lin Xijin was a little confused and didn't know how to deal with it. It seemed that she could only give the choice to Xin Lan herself.

"Xinlan, tell your sister, if you find your parents one day, what are you going to do?" After breakfast, Lin Xijin asked while holding Xinlan's little hand.

"Sister, you don't want me anymore?" Hearing her words, tears instantly filled Xin Lan's eyes.

"Silly child, how could I not want you? No matter what happens, you will always be my good sister like Xijia." Lin Xijin wiped her tears and comforted her.

"Sister, what happened?" Xin Lan asked sensitively.

"This is what happened..." The story king Lin Xijin could only tell Xin Lan the legendary story that happened to her.

After Xin Lan heard her own legend, she was stunned for a long time: I have parents too? I have a grandmother too? I have grandparents, uncles and aunts?

"Sister, I can go visit them and recognize my relatives with them. But I don't want to be separated from you. I still want to follow you forever. Can you promise me?" After a while, Xin Lan made her own decision.

"Let's go into the palace and discuss it with them, okay?" Lin Xijin was very patient with Xin Lan who had encountered sudden changes. After all, she was only a ten-year-old girl.

So he asked Xijia, Xinlan and Anan to prepare gifts, and he also added some gifts and took them to the palace.
