Although Zhao Zhengxiang had heard of what was happening in the Qinzheng Hall today, he was not very clear. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoExcept for a few parties present, only the palace maids and guards around the emperor heard a few words.

Until Zhao Zhengxiang left the palace, the emperor had not made any decisions. Therefore, after Zhao Zhengxiang came back, he told Wang Xinlian and others about the matter, and everyone was discussing countermeasures.

Originally, the atmosphere was solemn, as if it was possible to come to the city at any time, but he didn't expect that after hearing this, Lin Wan was not half worried, but smiled and said: "Grandpa, as long as the eldest uncle does not return to Beijing for a day, and still holds the military power of the Pingnan army for a day, this general's mansion will be safe." Don't worry, the emperor won't make trouble for himself. ”

Although Zhao Zhengxiang thought that Lin Wan was reasonable, he still couldn't help but ask worriedly: "Feng Qizheng is now in the Pingnan military camp, he is the emperor's confidant, he was ordered to bring your eldest uncle back to the capital, if your eldest uncle continues to disobey the order, won't you be guilty of the crime of disobeying the order? In the future, as long as the emperor is unhappy, he can make a fuss about this matter and punish our Zhao family, then we are not too passive?"

Lin Wan shook his head and said, "If you want to add to the crime, why should you do anything? Whose crime does the emperor want to cure, is there no reason to worry? As long as we hold something enough to protect ourselves in our hands, the emperor will not dare to do anything to us." Things in the future, let's talk about them in the future, maybe the emperor will rely on us in the future. If there is a war, the only thing the emperor can trust is the eldest uncle. ”

Wang Xinlian looked at Lin Wan's eyes full of appreciation, smiled and nodded, turned to Zhao Zhengxiang, and said, "Zhengxiang, Wan'er is right, we don't have to worry too much." In the past few months, we have been speculating about the emperor's thoughts, and we are worried every day, even if the emperor is in a bad mood one day, we will let the Yulin army come to surround our general's mansion again. Alas, those days ......"

Zhao Zhengxiang held Wang Xinlian's hand and said guiltily: "Xinlian, over the years, you have suffered with me. Especially in the days when Fengwu disappeared, the Yulin army was guarding outside the mansion, monitoring our daily life, and there was a possibility that they would rush in at any time. You wash your face with tears every day, and you have to accompany me to pretend to be sick, and ask for ...... grievances"

Wang Xinlian shook his head with tears in his eyes and said, "Zhengxiang, don't say it, I have never regretted it." Now, Fengwu is fine, and our family is fine, that's enough. ”

Lin Wan sighed in her heart, but her face was silent, she raised her face and said with a smile: "Grandpa, grandma, it is the emperor who is having a headache now, what do we have to worry about? ”

Zhao Zhengxiang laughed and said, "Wan'er is right, the biggest headache at this moment is the emperor." Let's hurry up and eat, it's not too early, Wan'er has to go back, don't be too late. After speaking, he took Wang Xinlian's hand, got up, and walked towards the dining room.

At the dinner table, Zhao Zhengxiang, Zhao Fengwen, Zhao Mingjin, and Xing Han drank and talked about the dramatic results of this year's imperial examination, the purpose of the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, the poetry meeting of the three princes, and the recent news and interesting events in the capital.

The women listened attentively and admired the three generations and four excellent men.

Wang Xinlian was pleasantly surprised to find that after this afternoon, Tong Xinyan has also undergone a great change, not only more confidence in her eyes, but also more calmness in Zhao Mingjin's eyes, no longer having so many worries and self-shame.

After thirty years of drinking, when it was past the end of the year, Lin Wan got up and said goodbye. Wang Xinlian took Lin Wan's hand, personally sent her to the gate of the courtyard, and instructed when she parted: "Wan'er, grandma knows that you are going to attend the Queen Mother's birthday banquet in a few days, and I won't talk about anything else, but you have to remember that you must not touch the Queen Mother's taboo." ”

Lin Wan asked suspiciously, "What is the Queen Mother's taboo?"

Wang Xinlian smiled and said in a low voice: "The Queen Mother is a concubine, so I am most afraid that others will mention her identity as a concubine." After a pause, he said: "Back then, the emperor was originally going to marry the queen mother's sister, and the eldest daughter of the Lu family was the main concubine. But later, the eldest daughter of the Lu family suddenly died of smallpox, and the Lu family only had such a daughter, so she had to choose one of the concubines to be recorded in the name of the Lu family's housewife and marry the emperor in the name of the concubine. The queen mother is beautiful, and she is very good at observing words and feelings, she is deeply loved by the emperor, and she also gave birth to a pair of children, and then slowly ascended to the throne of the queen. ”

Lin Wan nodded slightly, this was the first time she had heard the story about the Queen Mother, it had been too long, and it was impossible to verify it. However, Lin Wan secretly felt that the death of the eldest daughter might be related to the Queen Mother.

Wang Xinlian continued: "The eldest princess is the first child of the former emperor, and she is also the favorite daughter of the former emperor. The queen mother can get the favor of the first emperor, most likely because of this daughter with a similar temperament to the first emperor, so the queen mother also has a very deep affection for this daughter. After a pause, he smiled slightly, and said: "I heard that Wan'er worshipped the eldest princess as a teacher, which is a good thing, with the eldest princess as a backer, at least in front of the queen mother, there is someone who can keep you." ”

Lin Wan couldn't help frowning, and asked suspiciously: "Grandma, why do you say as if the Queen Mother will definitely not like me? Is there any reason I don't know?"

Wang Xinlian hesitated a little, but still sighed lightly, nodded, and said: "Wan'er, when you were born, there was a phoenix-shaped birthmark on your ankle, and it was seen by the father-in-law who came to congratulate him, and when he went back to congratulate the emperor and the queen mother, he mentioned this birthmark." The emperor joked at the time, saying that you are destined to be the royal daughter-in-law and a golden phoenix. However, the Queen Mother suddenly became angry, smashed the cup in her hand, and said that this matter is very important, how can it be a child's play? Therefore, no one dares to mention your birthmark again. ”

Lin Wan lowered her head and pondered, no one had mentioned it for so long, she had almost forgotten about it.

According to the plot in the script, Lin Zhihuai wanted Lin Wan'er to become the queen, and he passed on Lin Wan'er's phoenix birthmark. This caused the crown prince Zhou Tianhong to be curious about Lin Wan'er, and came to the Prime Minister's Mansion to see Lin Wan'er, and has never forgotten her.

Although the Queen Mother did not prevent their marriage, in the palace, she made things difficult for Lin Wan'er everywhere. Lin Wan'er always thought that it was because the Queen Mother wanted the daughter of the Lu family to be the queen, so she made it difficult for her, but now it seems that there should be another reason.

Lin Wan thought about it, and couldn't think of why the Queen Mother would react so much to Lin Wan'er's birthmark, could it be that this phoenix birthmark was also her taboo?
