Chapter 691 A Step-by-Step Thrill 63
Lin Jiu touched his new hairstyle and sighed with emotion. This mother and son were truly a perfect example of "a loving mother and a filial son".
While enjoying the gossip, Lin Jiu still maintained a degree of rationality. Regarding the matter of Consort De verbally abusing and beating her son, Lin Jiu secretly pondered that it was probably one part truth and nine parts falsehood, with the rumors spreading and becoming increasingly outrageous.
No matter how much Consort De disliked Yinzhen, she would never do something like beating a prince. Wouldn't that be disrespecting the Emperor?
However, the relationship between the mother and son should have ended there, because Yinzhen left Yonghe Palace without any attempt to conceal his injury. Otherwise, given Yinzhen's usual character, he would have covered for Consort De.
Lin Jiu clicked her tongue. With Yongzheng's background, he was definitely a male protagonist. He had a biased father, a mean mother, and a troublesome younger brother. The poor little guy was miserable, really miserable!
Just then, a slightly reproachful call interrupted Lin Jiu's thoughts.
Yinzhen asked with some displeasure, "Ajiu, what are you thinking about? You seem so engrossed!"
Could it be that he failed to serve Ajiu well last night?
Otherwise, why would she have the leisure to pay attention to others right now? It seems she'll have to work twice as hard next time!
Lin Jiu: ...She already has a sore back and aching waist. If she tries even harder, she might just collapse in bed!
"Ahem, it's nothing. Hurry up and get ready, we still need to pay our respects to Mother!" Lin Jiu coughed lightly. She couldn't very well say that she was thinking about how pitiful Prince Yong was.
He's a prince with an iron-hat title, and might even become emperor in the future. She should have some pity on him!

Yikun Palace
As soon as Lin Jiu and Yin Tang stepped into the palace, they saw Consort Yi's face, which was as beautiful and radiant as a blooming spring flower. They couldn't help but look at each other, both of them knowing in their hearts that Consort De was not good, and their mother was really happy.
"Mother is in a good mood, looks like she'll be able to eat a few more bowls of rice today!" Yinzhen joked with a smile.
Consort Yi rolled her eyes at Yinzhen. She was overjoyed that her mortal enemy was having such a hard time, and she decided not to stoop to the level of that brat.
Consort Yi glared at Yinzhen fiercely, but did not retaliate—after all, her mortal enemy was currently in trouble, and she was too happy to bother with this nemesis.
So she turned her attention to Lin Jiu, who was standing to the side, and greeted her with a beaming smile: "Ajiu, come here, come here, tell your mother how our Hongxuan has been lately..."
After saying that, she held Lin Jiu's slender hand tightly, her beautiful eyes fixed on her daughter-in-law, her joy overflowing.
It turns out that Consort Yi loved admiring beautiful women the most in her life, especially when she recalled the difficulties she faced when choosing a consort for Yinzhen, she was filled with emotion.
It should be noted that royal family members have always valued virtue, talent, and ability to manage a household and govern a family when choosing a spouse, rather than simply judging by appearance.
Therefore, most of the princes' primary wives were not particularly beautiful.
However, Yinzhen was exceptionally handsome. If he were to marry a woman of average appearance, wouldn't that be a waste of her time? Wouldn't he be the one being taken advantage of?
Fortunately, Xiao Jiu chose Lin Jiu in the end. She could look at Lin Jiu's face for a lifetime... It's so good for watching meals!
Sometimes, having a son is just too much of a burden!
Consort Yi genuinely thought this daughter-in-law was excellent. Although her son had stopped taking other women for Lin Jiu's sake, Lin Jiu alone was worth more than several. She had not only kept Lin Jiu away from the Eighth Prince's crumbling ship, but also helped her son go from a bald prince to a prince with an iron cap. Who could be as capable as her daughter-in-law!
