Chapter 136: Human Affection is Warm and Cold
Bai Xiaoyao almost escaped all the way out of the palace, even when the emperor's father-in-law called him he was absent-mindedly perfunctory, if he hadn't escaped quickly, he was afraid that the marriage had been decided at this time, God knows how much he hated the county lord who was dressed up and talked sticky, every time he saw her, it was the beginning of a nightmare. But this is not Bai Xiaoyao angry, what he is really depressed about is that he was actually put by his friends at the knots, yes, he thinks he is unlucky, who makes the family high, who makes the family innocent, and in the end it is always him who is washed.
Che, this joke is too big.
Bai Xiaoyao looked back at the direction of the palace, his friend Ren Che is a meticulous person, and his daily life is two points and one line, one is by the side of the emperor of the Qinzheng Palace, and one is in the Ren Mansion, but since the corruption and malfeasance of Ren Bachelor was found to be on the frontier three years ago, the Ren Mansion has become an empty shelf, deserted. Bai Xiaoyao felt ashamed of Ren Che in this matter, but he couldn't help but handle it impartially, and in the end, Ren Che pleaded guilty himself. So over the years, Bai Xiaoyao has been looking for a suitable girl so that the deserted Ren Mansion can be lively again.
Somehow Lin Fangyu's face popped up in his mind, and Bai Yao shook for a while, such a sharp woman, Che should be able to parry! He has no other shortcomings, that is, he loves to hold grudges. He still remembered the green and transparent jade pendant, the emperor gave Miss Lin the pendant without thinking, although Bai Xiaoyao was chic, there was no lack of delicate thoughts, and gradually saw the way out, the emperor seemed to have an extraordinary meaning to her. If he proposed to marry her, what would be the emperor's reaction?
As soon as he thought of this, he itched all over his body, and he couldn't wait to return to the palace immediately, but he knew that now was not the time.
Empress Xu's death, just like when she was alive, was plain and bland, and did not cause many waves. If she knew that when she left the queen's position, countless women were eyeing that position, and even thanked her for her untimely death, I don't know how she would feel?
The emperor was sad for a few days, and finally under the persuasion of the courtiers, he planned to draft again, which coincided with the arrival of the triennial draft, which was really a few joys and a few sorrows.
On this day, Lin Fangyu received an invitation from the Xu family, saying that it was an invitation, but it was actually a thank you banquet. After all, the Xu family has a queen, although it is only three years, it is enough to be beautiful for a while. Because Empress Xu had no heirs, she was a successor, and the Queen Mother strongly opposed it, so her coffin could not be buried in the imperial mausoleum. Although the Xu family has a Shangshu, but it has long since abdicated, and now as soon as the queen dies, the Xu family will fall in disguise, and the tree will fall and scatter, if it is not for Xu Shangshu to support the funeral of his daughter, I am afraid that Queen Xu's body will be placed outside the palace for a while. The Xu family, because of their daughter's wealth and decline, has tasted the warmth and coldness of humanity in just three years, until this moment.
The dignified queen, the coffin cannot be buried in the imperial mausoleum after death, which can be regarded as a great shame, but the Xu family is not as good as it was back then, how can there be any opinions to refute? Everyone sighed at the king's affection, but who knew that the most difficult person to get along with was actually the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, not to mention the most noble pair of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
"No matter how high the power is, in the end, it is not to be buried in the ground." Empress Xu's coffin was slowly buried in the soil, and Lin Fangyu sighed softly. Du Tinglan came over and handed her a handkerchief, Lin Fangyu smiled reluctantly: "Why did my sister come to this experience, I was helpless, in fact, you don't have to." ”
"The queen is merciful, I have also received her favor, and I always want to send her." Du Tinglan's voice choked: "The most ruthless emperor's family, I don't know if the emperor thinks of Niangniang at this moment?" ”
Lin Fangyu thought of Yin Shaorui's handsome face, looked at her with scrutiny and appreciation, and was also full of emotion in her heart: "The emperor has the world in mind, how can he expect his children to be long." "Not only him, but also many people, how many people in the world can treat their mothers as sincerely as their fathers?
"I really envy Mrs. Lin, I want to be a single-minded person, and I will not be separated from each other." Du Tinglan's family affairs have been decided, he is the third master of Prince Feng's mansion, and the youngest son of King Feng, although he cannot inherit the title, but Du Tinglan marries in the past, he doesn't have to be in charge, he doesn't have to manage the house, and he can be regarded as happy.
"What stupid things my sister said, I heard that the third master is also Yushu Linfeng, and my sister is married, and some are looking forward to it."
Du Tinglan raised her eyelids: "I should thank my uncle for such a good deed." "If it weren't for Second Master Du's mediation, the position of the main wife would definitely not be her turn. But the more the outside world spread the word, the more worried she became.
"So what, it's true that my father loves my mother, but in the end, isn't he even jealous of God and takes back my father's life?" Lin Fangyu comforted Du Tinglan on the one hand, and also comforted herself on the other. She doesn't know where her future is, but she knows that one day, she will still get married, and some of them may have a few years of peaceful life, but it's not good, she may have a concubine before she passed the door, and she used to be a mother-in-law, watching other people's children dangling in front of her, Lin Fangyu didn't think about it, what kind of scene was that?
"Forget it, don't mention these things, it's all gone. I heard that the Queen Mother will hold a banquet in the palace tomorrow, and she also called her sister to go, I don't know if there is such a thing? ”
Lin Fangyu nodded, her eyes were gloomy, she hated such an occasion the most, but the Queen Mother had to go.
Du Tinglan looked around and whispered: "How disgusted the Queen Mother is, the Xu family is still in deep pain, but the Queen Mother is holding a banquet in the palace, isn't this a slap in the face of the Xu family?" The emperor is really ruthless, how can he let others treat his wife like this? ”
"That's no one else, it's the Queen Mother, the emperor's biological mother." Lin Fangyu had no choice but to say, in fact, the Queen Mother set up a banquet, and she knew that the intention was nothing more than a blind date in disguise, or, one of them would become the mother of a country in the future. And even if you don't enter the palace as a concubine, you will end up with the young masters of each family to contact your feelings. It's just that what the Queen Mother did this time was too obvious, which couldn't help but chill the Xu family, and also made some families sigh. However, the chill can only be chilled in the heart, and the sigh is just in private.
"The first queen has learned from the past, is my sister still willing to enter the palace?" Du Tinglan said faintly, she didn't want a girl like a flower to be buried in the palace for the rest of her life, in that case, they might not even have the opportunity to meet.
Lin Fangyu smiled: "I said why are you so preoccupied, it turns out that you are worried about this for me." Don't worry, it's still a matter of whether I can enter the palace or not, and even if I am unfortunate enough to enter, I will not be able to reach that position. She blinked as she spoke, ignoring the doubts in Du Tinglan's eyes and gave her a comforting smile.
In memory of his father, Lin Fangyu didn't believe it, he was the kind of person who was unkind, I hope he can grow up quickly, and I hope that the next woman who enters the middle palace will not become the second Queen Xu.
"Miss, the old lady has entered the courtyard of the lady." Qiao'er came to report secretly.
"Let's go, go home."
