Chapter 618: Red Jade Pendant
Lu Laoguo is the younger brother of the Queen Mother, and he obeys the Queen Mother's words. Although the Empress Dowager doesn't ask about political affairs, she doesn't even care about the affairs of the harem.www.biquge.info
However, the Duchess often goes to the palace to visit the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother who is in charge of the harem is also her own niece, and she goes to ask her for peace when she encounters any major events. Therefore, none of the major events in and out of the palace can escape her eyes and get out of her control.
If it weren't for Lin Wan's understanding of the Queen Mother in the plot, she wouldn't have doubted such an invisible Queen Mother in the palace.
Lin Wan couldn't help frowning slightly, the Queen Mother had too many hole cards, and she didn't even explain it clearly in the play, if it weren't for the fact that many years later, the Queen Mother suddenly died of illness. Lin Wan'er, who had already become the queen at that time and gave birth to a prince, could not finally get the power to take charge of the harem.
Lin Ruichen saw that Lin Wan was silent, knowing that she was thinking about the problem, and he didn't bother. After a long time, he said worriedly: "Wan'er, you must not clash head-on with the Queen Mother, after all, she is the emperor's mother and the most powerful woman in the palace." If she wants your life, I'm afraid no one will be able to save you. ”
Lin Wan raised his head, smiled slightly, nodded, and said, "Brother, don't worry, I understand." ”
Lin Ruichen saw that Lin Wan was confident, and he didn't ask anything more, took out a red jade pendant from his sleeve, handed it to Lin Wan's hand, and said solemnly: "Wan'er, this is given to me without worry, you may be able to use it." ”
Lin Wan took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully, only to see the word "Ning" written on the front of the jade pendant, and a few blooming flowers engraved on the back, beautiful and delicate.
Lin Ruichen explained in a low voice: "This is the jade pendant that Xiaoyou has worn since she was a child, and Xiaoyou's nurse said that this was given to her by the eldest princess when Xiaoyou turned one year old. ”
A playful smile appeared on Lin Wan's face, glanced at Lin Ruichen, and asked in a strange tone, "Brother, why did Sister Wuwu give you something close to her?"
Lin Ruichen avoided answering, frowned and said, "The thing is just lent to you for use, and after it is used, it will be returned to me in good condition, understand?"
Lin Wan pursed his lips and said, "That's natural, if you break something as precious as my brother, won't my brother eat me raw?"
Lin Ruichen hooked his lips and smiled, patted Lin Wan's little head, his eyes were full of doting, and said softly: "Tomorrow's matter, you must be cautious, don't be careless." I will send someone to protect you secretly, there is a small team of mine in ambush on Lingshan, the nickname of the team leader is Wild Wolf, he will take the initiative to contact you tomorrow. ”
Lin Wan nodded, and said with a straight face: "I know, brother don't worry too much, wait for my good news." ”
Lin Ruichen smiled and nodded, stood up, took a deep breath, and said, "The air here is very good, but it's cold, you better blow less cold wind and go back to the room early." I'm back in the barracks, and I'll have to be present for every day's drills, and if there's anything you need, you'll send someone to me. ”
Lin Wan nodded obediently, got up and watched Lin Ruichen leave. I saw that his figure flickered, and he had disappeared into the night.
Wang Qi walks out of the kitchen with a steaming bowl of potion in her hand, and Fluttershy follows her with a small plate of preserves.
Lin Wan sat back at the table in frustration, turned his head, took a deep breath, turned back heroically, took the medicine bowl in Wang Qi's hand, and drank it in a big gulp.
Seeing that Lin Wan finished drinking the medicine, Fluttershy hurriedly stuffed a piece of honey ginger into Lin Wan's mouth.
The sweetness and spiciness of the honey ginger successfully concealed the bitter taste of the Chinese medicine, and Lin Wan took a breath and relaxed his whole body.
Wang Qi looked at Lin Wan's painful appearance of drinking medicine, and couldn't help but feel secretly distressed, feeling as if he had done something wrong, and lowered his head and took the medicine bowl back to the kitchen.
Fluttershy fed a piece of honey ginger into her mouth, causing her to frown. He said vaguely: "Xiaoqi said that this honey ginger is pickled with brown sugar and honey, and it is good for girls to eat it, but I can't eat spicy, and I will burst into tears when I eat a piece." ”
Lin Wan couldn't help but laugh when she looked at Fluttershy's funny appearance, and said, "Although this thing is good, you shouldn't eat too much at night, just one piece." However, I think it's pretty good, it's just the right amount of sweetness, it dilutes the spiciness, and the ginger is tender enough to taste very refreshing. ”
Fluttershy smiled and said, "Miss likes it, but Kiki did it in the middle of the night last night because she was worried that you wouldn't want to drink the medicine." ”
Lin Wan couldn't help but move in her heart, and suddenly felt that her whole body was warm, and she didn't know if it was because of the decoction or the effect of honey ginger. Perhaps, Xiaoqi's intentions moved her heart.
After drinking the medicine, Lin Wan went to bed early.
The next day, before dawn, Green Willow came to wake her up. Lin Wan still closed his eyes and was at the mercy of the green willows. When she opened her eyes, she was already dressed and combed her hair.
Looking at himself in the mirror, he was dressed in an elegant skirt, with a novel cut, easy to move, and looked quiet and generous. Qi Liuhai has Qi Liuhai on her forehead, a double screw bun on her head, and her bright little face, which is delicate and lively.
After breakfast, taking Qingtong and Wang Qi, Lin Wan walked out of Wanxin Pavilion.
It wasn't dawn yet, but Manager Wu was already waiting outside the door, and when he saw Lin Wan coming out, dressed up decently, beautiful and generous, he couldn't help but nodded, and arched his hand: "Miss, the time is almost here, please wait in the outer courtyard with the old slave." ”
Lin Wan nodded and said, "Uncle Wu, I'm tired of Uncle Wu coming over so early, I'm really sorry." ”
Manager Wu shook his head and said, "The master has already gone to the court, and today the third prince and Xing Gongzi will also enter the palace to meet the emperor and participate in the palace examination." After the old slave sent off the old man and the two sons, he came over, and the time was just right. ”
Lin Wan smiled slightly, quietly followed behind Mr. Wu, and walked out of the courtyard. I couldn't help but sigh secretly in my heart, this emperor and prime minister, life is not easy!
Every day, before dawn, I have to go to the court, and I have to hold meetings every day, except for the emperor, I have to stand. Alas, no wonder everyone wants to be the emperor, maybe just to be able to sit and go to work.
Lin Wan thought nonsense all the way, and after a while, he had already walked to the gate of Lin Xiangfu.
The door was open, and on either side stood energetic guards. In the early morning of winter, there was not a single pedestrian on the street, the sky was gray, and the cold wind was blowing into the clothes.
Lin Wan wore a thick white mink cloak, standing in the morning breeze, looking at the two carriages that came from afar.
In front of it was a yellow carriage drawn by four horses, wide and smooth. Behind is a two-horse cyan carriage, light and dexterous.
The carriage slowly stopped in front of Lin Xiangfu, and from the frame of a carriage in front, a lean middle-aged father-in-law jumped down and walked towards Lin Wan.
