Chapter Twenty-Six: A Good Day

Most of the palace ladies and eunuchs in the entire inner palace are the dark lines of the Rong Party and the Hou Party, and most of those concubines are forcibly stuffed into the palace by the two parties to improve their strength in the inner palace.

Saying that, Emperor Daqian calmed down again, and said with a smile: "Gao Yue, don't you know that Ziyong has already seen that I want to hold a handle?"

"Ziyong is very active, he knows that he should let me take care of him and let me feel at ease, so he deliberately teased Xiao Shuya in front of me today, and then went to Jinsu Palace with you. ”

"I see. Gao Yue smiled suddenly, and then asked with doubts: "Your Majesty, do you say that Lin Shangqing is really romantic and loves money, or did he deliberately pretend to show the world?"

Emperor Daqian was stunned by Gao Yue's words, and after thinking for a while, he put down the music in his hand and said: "I'm afraid that he deliberately pretended to be, people always have shortcomings for people to grasp, aren't they?"

Gao Yue smiled and nodded: "Yes, if a person can't hold the shortcomings and is too perfect, I'm afraid it will make people afraid and dare not use it!"

Just as Gao Yue and Emperor Daqian were talking in the Dongnuan Pavilion, Ansheng Palace was not quiet, and at this moment, the Empress Dowager Xuanshu slammed a precious teacup on the ground, her face full of anger.

"Lin Mo's thief, he dared to tease the mourning family, causing the mourning family to lose 60,000 troops in vain, this hatred and resentment, how can the mourning family endure it, brother, you immediately send our cultivators, except for that Lin Mo. ”

"The Empress Dowager can't do it!" Xuanyuan, who was very rich, hurriedly stopped: "Empress Dowager, there are three great sword masters in the Lin Mo Mansion at the moment, and we will not be able to get any benefits from him head-to-head!"

Hearing Xuanyuan's words, Empress Dowager Xuanshu slowly calmed down, and said unwillingly: "Then what do you say we should do, do you just let him go?"

Empress Dowager Xuanshu was very unwilling at this time, it was a state land, with an army of 60,000, just because of Lin Mo's appearance, she gave it to King Rong for nothing, which boosted the prestige of others.

Xuanyuan pondered for a moment and said: "I heard that Lin Mo now has a great relationship with Concubine Xiao De of Jinsu Palace, the Queen Mother, we might as well take Concubine Xiao De down and threaten him with Concubine Xiao De." ”

Xuanshu pondered for a moment and said, "Is this useful? Just a woman can threaten him Lin Mo? I'm afraid he won't care about the life or death of Concubine Xiao De!"

"Naturally useful. Xuanshu replied firmly: "Lin Mo has a big shortcoming, he is benevolent, greedy for money, and lustful, since Concubine Xiao Defei has that relationship with him now, he will naturally be worried." ”

"Since this is the case, the younger brother will quickly take someone to catch Concubine Xiao De and help the mourning family get angry. Empress Dowager Xuanshu was saying in a calm tone, when suddenly a palace lady came in and said that Concubine Xiao De was coming.

Xuanyuan and Empress Dowager Xuanshu were stunned for a moment, and Empress Dowager Xuanshu asked puzzledly: "Did this Concubine Xiao De know that we were going to get her, so she simply sent it to the door herself?"

"I'm afraid not, there must be some other purpose for coming here at this moment. Xuanyuan thought for a moment and said to Nagong E: "Let Concubine Xiao De come in." ”

Gong'e Shili withdrew to call Concubine Xiao De, and Xuanyuan also stood up: "Queen Mother, the minister avoids it." ”

"It's fine. Empress Dowager Xuanshu nodded, Xuanyuan gave a salute and hid behind the screen, Xuanyuan just hid in, and Concubine Xiao De also came in under the leadership of that Gong'e.

Concubine Xiao De walked in, and when she saw the Empress Dowager Xuanshu sitting in danger, she hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Concubine, see the Empress Dowager, and say hello to the Empress Dowager." ”

"Excuse me!" Empress Dowager Xuanshu raised her hand, took a sip of the tea poured by Gong E, and after putting the teacup back on the table, she slowly asked, "I don't know why Concubine Xiao De is here?"

With a slight smile on her face, Concubine Xiao De presented a letter to the Empress Dowager Xuanshu and said, "Back to the Empress Dowager, the concubine is entrusted by someone to hand over a letter." ”

Empress Dowager Xuanshu opened the letter, and saw that it was Lin Mo, and she didn't look at the content, so she said lightly: "What does Concubine Xiao De have to do with this Shangqing doctor Lin Ziyong?

Concubine Xiao De replied: "The concubine and Lin Shangqing said that it has nothing to do with it, and the doctor Shangqing has just rested in the concubine's Jinsu Palace for an hour. ”

"Bold. ”

"Smack-" Empress Dowager Xuanshu slapped the table heavily: "Come on, Concubine Xiao De left her ministers in the palace privately, and she had a bad affair with her, causing trouble in the inner palace, and dragged him out to be killed." ”

"Yes!" The two eunuchs hurriedly trotted over, and were about to carry Concubine Xiao De out to carry out the cane punishment, but Concubine Xiao Defei said without panic: "Queen Mother, you should read the content of the letter first, and then decide whether to punish the concubine with the cane or not, right?"

Hearing this, Empress Dowager Xuanshu raised her hand to signal the eunuch to stop, looked at the letter seriously, and after a while, said with some doubts: "What does this Lin Ziyong mean?"

Concubine Xiao De replied: "Back to the Empress Dowager, Ziyong said that the reason why he helped King Rong to bring down Li Tai was because the price offered by His Royal Highness King Rong was higher than that of you this time, not that he had already favored or thrown himself to King Rong." ”

"Ziyong, you don't hide your relationship with him. ”

After Empress Dowager Xuanshu sneered at Concubine Xiao De, she slapped the letter on the table and said, "The mourning family gave him flying money worth 300,000 gold leaves before and after, and twenty beautiful maids, is he too little?"

Concubine Xiao De smiled and said: "Queen Mother, do you know what King Rong gave Ziyong? King Rong first gave Ziyong a flying money worth 200,000 gold leaves, and also promised Ziyong, as long as Ziyong helps him to bring down Li Tai, then forty percent of the treasures in Li Tai's mansion will belong to Ziyong, how can it be compared to 300,000 gold leaves." ”

"Moreover, King Rong also gave Ziyong a beautiful maid, this morning Ziyong just opened a pavilion for that beautiful maid, you can send someone to inquire, oh, by the way, that beautiful maid is called Liu Ruoshui, and the rest, Ziyong didn't fancy it. ”

Opening the pavilion, that is, the maidservant has a room of her own in the house, and only the master of the house is eligible to enjoy the special opportunity of having her own independent room.

"Bastard!" Empress Dowager Xuanshu slapped the table again, and said slightly angrily: "That Liu Ruoshui was given to her by the mourning family, how can it be counted on the head of King Rong?"

"No, Queen Mother, Liu Ruoshui is the spy that King Rong has planted beside you. Concubine Xiao Defei shook her head and said.

"However, Ziyong also told the concubine that you gave 300,000 yuan and 19 maidservants, and you are willing to give you the things in the letter as a return gift, it depends on whether you are willing or not?"

Concubine Xiao De's words fell, the atmosphere became quiet, Empress Dowager Xuanshu thought in her mind, and after about a cup of tea, she said lightly: "Okay, you tell Lin Ziyong, and the return gift in the letter is accepted." ”

The concubine retired. Concubine Xiao De gave a salute, got up and was about to go out, but suddenly remembered something and said: "By the way, the Queen Mother, Ziyongtuo's concubine told you that if the price is high, he is also willing to help you." ”

After speaking, Concubine Xiao De slowly left.

Concubine Xiao Defei left, Xuanyuan walked out from behind the screen, looked at Lin Mo's letter to the Empress Dowager Xuanshu, and said lightly: "This thing in the letter of 300,000 gold leaves is also worth it." ”

"Lin Ziyong's house is really hateful, and he is so mercenary. Empress Dowager Xuanshu gritted her teeth, and scolded Lin Mo's eighteen generations in her heart.

Xuanyuan didn't know how to reply, so he had to change the topic: "Queen Mother, tonight is the day when Lin Ziyong's eldest grandson Yuyin is a concubine, should we also prepare a generous gift?"

Although Empress Dowager Xuanshu hated Lin Mo, she also had to admire the means, and she had to suppress her anger and say: "It should be so, you can do the gift-giving thing!"

"Yes, I'll do it!"

The four horses and silver horses slowly stopped in front of the gate of the Lin Mansion, and Lin Mo sneezed as soon as he was about to get out of the car, muttering: "Who is scolding me behind my back?

With that, Lin Mo got out of the carriage, and after standing still, he saw that the entire Lin Mansion was full of joy, and the atmosphere was quite warm, as if it completely covered the cold that should be in winter.

Thinking that tonight was the day of the candles in the cave room where he and his eldest grandson were worried, although Lin Mo was not the first time to be a groom, he was still very excited.

"I don't know what this melancholy tastes like, and what kind of style it will be when the time comes. Muttering in his heart, Lin Mo took a step and went to the eldest grandson's room, wanting to see her.

But as soon as he walked to the inner courtyard and stopped again, Lin Mo suddenly remembered that the day before the wedding, he couldn't see her, so he had no choice but to give up and went to the main house where he was.

When I entered the house, a warm heat wave came to my face, and I saw a hundred miles of Allure sitting in the house wiping the blood rain sword, untied the snow cloak and put it on top of Mu Shi, walked up to the side and sat down, and said, "Just finished practicing?"

Baili Chengcheng nodded, returned the wiped blood rain sword to the sheath, drilled into Lin Mo's arms, and said sweetly: "Congratulations, husband, tonight is a good day for your sister Sorrow." ”

Lin Mo pinched the delicate face of the city, and said dotingly: "What's the matter?

"Jealous, I don't have it!" Baili Chengcheng wrapped his arms around Lin Mo's neck, kissed him on the side of his cheek, and said: "My husband is so lustful, I will definitely take concubines in the future, if I am jealous, I must not acid myself." ”

"Lustful?" Lin Mo smiled and tightened his waist for a hundred miles, and retorted: "Husband, this is called fraternity, and he knows how to take care of women, how can he be called lustful, beware of husband punishing you!"

"Husband punishes concubines?" Baili Chengcheng exhaled like an orchid next to Lin Mo's ear: "Husband is sure, tonight is the day of your wedding to Sister Sorrow." ”

Feeling the writhing body of the hundred-mile Allure in his arms, as well as the charming voice in his ears, Lin Mo begged for mercy again and again: "Okay, okay, Allure, the husband has surrendered!"

Looking at Lin Mo's funny appearance begging for mercy, Baili Chengcheng covered his mouth and smiled, and suddenly said with a somewhat gloomy expression: "Husband, we have been married for more than a year, and we are so affectionate, why can't the concubine conceive your child?"

"Maybe it's because cultivators have different physiques from ordinary people!" Lin Mo pinched his Yao nose, and said with a gentle smile: "Fool, you are only twenty-one years old, we will have such a long life in the future, why are you in a hurry!"

As he spoke, Lin Mo looked around the room and changed the subject: "Where is your sister Zhilan, why don't you see her?"

"Sister Zhilan is helping Sister Sorrowful!" Baili Allure knew that Lin Mo was changing the topic, but thinking that he was indeed the youngest of the sisters, he relieved his mood and smiled.

After having a simple lunch with Bai Zhilan and the two daughters of Baili Allure, Bai Zhilan continued to get busy, and Lin Mo returned to the house with Baili Allure and got tired.

Liu Ruoshui was waiting on the side, looking at the appearance of the two of them grinding their ears and temples, and they were red-faced.

This morning, Liu Ruoshui lived in his own separate room under the arrangement of Ding Bo, although the decoration of the room was more than the three daughters of the hundreds of miles, but it was also very exquisite, and it was a little better than the average concubine's room.

After living in her own room, Liu Ruoshui's mood was apprehensive, and everyone in the house was rumoring that Lin Mo wanted to take her as a concubine, but Liu Ruoshui knew that this was impossible.

It was impossible before he cooperated with Tang Yunu to finish that matter.

Just when Lin Mo and Baili Allure were in deep love, the coming of the wind interrupted the atmosphere: "Sect Master Qiqi, a letter has been sent from the Night One." ”

He let go of the hundred miles in his arms, and did not wipe the red lip prints left by the grinding of his ears and temples on his face, and went directly to the outside of the house, took the letter sent by Xifeng, and walked into the house.

After reading the letter, he threw it into the charcoal brazier and burned it to ashes, Lin Mo sat back in his place, and Baili Allure fell into Lin Mo's arms again, wiping the lip prints on Lin Mo's face while asking, "Husband, what does the letter say?"

Lin Mo said: "Li Tai and his cadres have been beheaded, the men and women under the age of eight will flow to the north tomorrow, and the Duke of Shan Guo has been confiscated, and King Rong is packing the treasures into a box, and he wants to send them to me in the name of wishing me a new marriage." ”

"Wow, wouldn't that be a lot of money?" Baili Allure suddenly had gold stars in his eyes, and there seemed to be a golden gold leaf flashing in his beautiful eyes.

Looking at the appearance of the smiling wealth fan in Baili Allure, Lin Mo was very helpless, this girl has never been short of money since she was a child, but she prefers money, and she hides a lot of private money.

Baili Allure's little face was excited, but Liu Ruoshui's jade cheeks were full of doubts, and he wanted to ask something, but he swallowed back when he said it, and he was really entangled.

Looking at Liu Ruoshui's tangled appearance, Lin Mo smiled slightly and said: "Ruoshui, just ask if you have anything, if you can answer questions, I will definitely answer you." ”

Liu Ruoshui's eyes flashed with a hint of color, and he asked: "My lord, this is not the courtier's mansion, shouldn't the things in the mansion belong to the treasury......?

Even in the past, King Rong confiscated the mansion of a certain courtier, and he also returned all the things in the mansion to the treasury, how did he send things to the Lin Mansion this time, could it be that this King Rong is trying to harm Lin Mo?

Liu Ruoshui's heart was very worried.

Although Liu Ruoshui's words were not finished, Lin Mo already knew what she meant, and said with a smile: "Ruoshui, the things that you saw before that belonged to the treasury were just a few things that were confiscated from the mansion. ”

"Like this time, King Rong led people to raid the Shan Guo Mansion, forty percent of them belonged to me, and three percent went to King Rong, and as for the one that belonged to the treasury, there were only three percent. ”

"How is it possible?" Liu Ruoshu's words blurted out, full of disbelief, she couldn't imagine that there were only thirty percent of the treasury returned.

"Nothing is impossible. Baili Allure said disdainfully: "The current Emperor Daqian is a puppet emperor, and it is good that King Rong can give him three achievements, if it is Mrs. Ben, he will only give him one percent." ”

Lin Mo glanced at Baili Allure, because this girl had indeed done this, when she was still in a vassal state before, Baili Allure led people to copy the mansion, and really only gave it to the lord of the country.

Lin Mo continued the words of Baili Alluring City and said: "According to the previous practice, those who have not copied the mansion can take thirty percent, and the remaining seventy percent will be returned to the treasury, but now that the emperor is being held by King Rong, it is indeed good to be able to give him thirty percent." ”

Therefore, in ancient times, copying the mansion was a big fat difference.

Listening to Lin Mo's explanation, Liu Ruoshui also relieved the doubts in his heart.

Liu Ruoshui also knew that there was no convention, she used to think that King Rong had taken at most fifty percent, but after listening to Lin Mo's words, she didn't expect King Rong to take so much, it was really the decline of imperial power.

After speaking, Lin Mo and the others didn't speak, Lin Mo continued to be tired of being in the house and Baili Allure, of course, Lin Mo would sometimes secretly tease Liu Ruoshui.

Liu Ruoshui didn't dare to say anything, just lowered his head, although Baili Allure also saw his husband's restless hand, he didn't stop it.

In the eyes of Baili Allure, after all, Liu Ruoshui opened a pavilion alone and had his own room, according to his lustful temperament, he would not be able to escape sooner or later.

In this way, Lin Mo was in an ambiguous atmosphere, and one continued until near the unitary hour (17:00).

When it was almost time, the Lin Mansion began to be lively, and some ministers came to the door with congratulatory gifts, in order to congratulate Lin Mo and take concubines, there were Rong Party, and there were also Hou Party.

Yuan Kai and Ding Bo were in front of the gate, welcoming Lin Mo on behalf of them, while Lin Mo, who was escorted by Xifeng and Qiu Yun, only needed to receive a few important guests.

The congratulatory gifts of the ministers who came were not thin, they were all worth more than a hundred gold leaves, and the hundred miles of the city looked at more and more treasures in the treasury, which was called a happy smile.

Whenever he came across something he liked, he was not polite at all, so he directly asked He Yun'er to put it directly into the box he had prepared.

For this kind of behavior of the Hundred Miles Alluring City, except for He Yun'er who was a little embarrassed, it turned out that those servants of the Lin Mansion were not a little strange, as if they had long been used to it.

Soon, Lin Mo welcomed the first wave of more important guests, that is, Ji Qian, Fu Yunsheng, Zhang Guo, not long after the three, ushered in a heavyweight guest tonight.

Doctor Shangqing, and uncle of the country, Xuanyuan.

Under Zhao E's escort, Xuanyuan got out of the carriage with an object in his right hand, followed by ten eunuchs, in groups of twos and twos, carrying five boxes.

After entering the mansion and seeing Lin Mo, Xuanyuan raised his voice and said: "The holy decree has arrived, and Lin Ziyong, the doctor of Shangqing, will receive the decree." ”

"The minister took the order. Lin Mo hurriedly knelt down and saluted, and everyone present also knelt down.

Xuanyuan said: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: The eldest grandson is smart and agile, dignified and virtuous, cautious and obedient, sensitive, courteous, elegant and pleasant, and is specially named the eldest princess of Yipinroujia." Chin!"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" everyone shouted in unison.

After Xuanyuan finished reading, Lin Mo got up and took the canonization edict on behalf of the eldest grandson and glanced at it, which was stamped with the emperor's treasure seal, which should be the meaning of the Empress Dowager Xuanshu.

Seeing a satisfied smile on Lin Mo's face, Xuanyuan said in a low voice: "Lin Shangqing is gratifying, come and see behind you, this is His Majesty the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, who gave it to the eldest princess of Roujia to pretend." ”

"Xie Wu Huang Longen, the Queen Mother's holy grace. Lin Mo smiled and coped.

Xuan Yuan smiled slightly, and asked the ten eunuchs behind him to open the five boxes, and suddenly a piece of valuable things appeared in front of everyone's eyes, causing everyone to be envious.

One chest was filled with jewelry, one was filled with gold leaf, and roughly counted tens of thousands, one was filled with gold, silver and jade, and one was filled with the crown of the eldest princess.

The last box is a set of gorgeous and noble phoenix crown xia curtains, with excellent silk as the quality, with gold silk as the thread, embroidered with this peony flower, like a phoenix spreading its wings.

Xuanyuan looked at the box containing the phoenix crown and Xia Xuan, and said with a smile: "Lin Shangqing, this is a crown dress that can only be worn by the princess when she gets married, plus the canonization edict, your fourth lady's princess status is real." ”

"Thank you Empress Dowager, thank you Your Majesty the Emperor!" Lin Mo smiled happily, and hurriedly instructed the servants to send this box to the eldest grandson and let the eldest grandson and the other four boxes be sent into the warehouse.

The gift mentioned in the letter will be presented after the meeting. "After receiving the heavy gift from the Empress Dowager Xuanshu, Concubine Xiao De forwarded the matter in the letter to the Empress Dowager Xuanshu, Lin Mo naturally had to do it for him.

"After the Great Dynasty Meeting, okay, just wait for Lin Shangqing's good news. After thinking about it, there were less than seven days left before the Great Dynasty Meeting, and thinking that Lin Mo also needed time to plan and arrange, so he agreed.

"In this way, Xuan Shangqing will sit down at the banquet, and I will definitely have a drink with you later. As soon as Lin Mo was about to personally welcome Xuanyuan into the noble seat of the mansion and sit down, there was a cry at the gate.

"His Royal Highness King Rong is here with two princesses!"
