CHAPTER XXXIV

Huo Yi opened the gilded post, and sure enough, when he saw the word Liangdi written on it, his thin lips couldn't help but hook up, and his expression was indifferent, sure enough, it was the imperial grandmother who knew him best.

Liangdi - From the identity of Sanpin, for Huo Yi, Sansi is the best candidate for the crown princess in his mind, but for the current Sansi, the identity of the crown princess is too public, and it is easy to cause gossip, in order to protect her, she can only retreat again and again, and choose Liangdi, but Huo Yi doesn't think so, anyway, in his heart, there is only Lin Sansi who can become the crown princess.

Huo Yi slowly closed the gold sticker, his eyes were deep and couldn't see through, but his dark eyes were amazingly bright in the secret room, why bother standing aside, although Song Jingyang was curious about the content of the gold sticker, he only glanced at it, and didn't dare to be too blatant, but his position was a little off, and he only peeked at the corner of the gold sticker, and he didn't notice the content in the sticker.

Even so, Huo Yi still found out, raised his eyes slightly to look up at Song Jing, saw his eyes quickly dodging, and said lightly: "Your curious temperament really has to be changed." ”

Why bother when he heard this, he looked at Song Jingyang, and only smiled but didn't speak.

Song Jingyang saw that He Biqi not only didn't help him speak, but also had a gloating expression, glared at him hatefully, but he didn't dare to be angry because of Huo Yi's majesty, scratched the back of his head, and said: "Your Highness, look at your expression like a good thing, tell me, what is written on the gold sticker of the Queen Mother?" ”

Huo Yi's long eyes widened slightly, and the faint tenderness at the corners of his eyes was not easily revealed, but his voice was as cold as ever: "There are many words." ”

Song Jingyang blinked his eyes, and said helplessly in his heart: This is too much?

Huo Yi suddenly turned around, looked at Song Jingyang, and said, "Is the Hanmei in the south of the Plum Garden about to open?" ”

Although Song Jingyang liked these flowers and plants, Huo Yi suddenly asked, which surprised him, and after a while, he said: "Back to Your Highness, the season is almost over, it should be open in these days." ”

"Well, you can go to Meiyuan later, and count the date." The secret room is not big, but because there are no objects, it seems very empty, only Huo Yi's faint realm echoes in the room: "Sansi likes Hanmei, let's do the ceremony in Meiyuan." ”

Song Jingyang and He Biqi glanced at each other, both with surprised expressions, it seems that there is nothing important to hold a ceremony recently? Touching His Royal Highness's expression again, it doesn't look like mourning, it should have nothing to do with the affairs of the queen's mother, what is it going to do? "Your Highness, what is the ceremony?"

Huo Yi did not hide it from these two people who had followed him since childhood, and said softly: "The imperial grandmother just gave him the name of three thoughts. ”

Huo Yi's words were not clear, and the other two people in the room misunderstood the meaning of his words.

Why bother to listen to it, it's okay, after all, His Royal Highness loves Miss Lin so much, and there are no concubines in the house, besides, Miss Lin has just given birth to a little son, and it is a matter of time before she becomes a concubine, so she didn't have too much surprise, she just bowed down and said hello to Huo Yi: "Congratulations to Your Highness." ”

On the contrary, it was Song Jingyang, he was already a lively character, and after listening to Huo Yi's words, he thought about it in his mind, Meiyuan is too small, how can such a big thing as Concubine Feng be handled in Meiyuan! The entire Chang'an Avenue should be encompassed, and the whole country should celebrate and rejoice! "Your Highness, is Mei Yuan a little smaller?"

Huo Yi glanced at Song Jingyang and didn't make a sound, but the meaning was obvious-what's the matter, the lonely Mei Yuan is small? How big are you going to get?

Song Jingyang smiled: "Your Highness, Miss Lin treats her subordinates well on weekdays, and her subordinates are willing to help His Highness arrange the matter of sealing the concubine......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Huo Yi's cold and cold gaze.

Song Jingyang swallowed a mouthful of spit, wiped a handful of cold sweat on his forehead, and forced himself to calm down, but his voice was still a little stammering: "...... Your Highness, uh, subordinates aren't they...... Saying the wrong thing? ”

Huo Yi's gaze swept coldly on Song Jingyang's face, and said, "Who sued you for being a concubine?" ”

Song Jingyang was even more confused, a faint coolness rose behind him, and he said with a smile and embarrassment: "Didn't Your Highness just say that the Queen Mother just gave Miss Lin the title?" ”

As soon as the words fell, even Song Jingyang himself couldn't believe it: "Miss Lin...... Not the crown princess? The voice was so low that even Song Jingyang himself couldn't hear it.

Huo Yi's already cold face was gloomy and terrifying, and he reprimanded: "Song guard, if you heard correctly, in your opinion, if Nanye wants to be crowned the crown princess, this ceremony will be held in the prince's mansion?" ”

Song Jingyang calmed down and thought about it, the Concubine Feng Hall is one of the major events in the Southern Night, and it will naturally be held in the Chaoyang Palace, and it will never be moved to the Prince's Mansion.

Song Jingyang looked up at his handsome face and looked at Huo Yi at a forty-five degree angle, and the annoyed expression really made people want to beat him. "I'm sorry, Your Highness, my subordinates were excited just now, but I didn't expect this layer."

Huo Yi looked sideways, and his gaze was resolute: "What are you excited about?" ”

Song Jingyang lowered his head and pinched his thigh with his fingers, but fortunately he had a flexible mind and saved himself at a critical time: "Happy for His Highness." ”

Huo Yi nodded with satisfaction, "Lord Lin's crime is ironclad, Gu Huang can't clear his sins, he can't let Sansi stand on the cusp of this storm, the higher she stands, the harder she falls, she can't bear it." The meaning of the imperial grandmother is also the meaning of Lone, the name of Liangdi, the position is not high, but she can temporarily protect her, but Lone always feels ashamed of her, Lone will naturally make up for her, and one day, Lone will hold her hand and overlook the whole South Night. ”

Although He Biqi and Song Jingyang, who have been following him since childhood, Huo Yi has hardly ever leaked his feelings in front of them, Song Jingyang actually wanted to cry when he heard this, and when he turned his face to see He Biqi's expressionless face loosened slightly, he couldn't help but sigh again.

Huo Yi paused, and then said: "Since the people who are staring at the Liangning and Ning Mansions have made arrangements, from tomorrow onwards, you will handle this matter for Gu." ”

Song Jingyang naturally would not refuse, and as soon as he shook hands, he said: "My subordinates obey the order, and I must not let His Highness and Miss Lin ...... Uh, Lin Liangdi was disappointed. ”

Huo Yi nodded, and said to He Biqi: "You go to Dong's private school to take Lin Xuan to the house." ”

"Your Highness, that's the prince's private school."

Why did he exclaim in his heart, but he was not surprised when he said it, Song Jingyang saw that in addition to his appearance was not like His Highness, every move even looked like His Highness, and he was envious and disdainful, envious that he could learn from His Highness so much, and despised that he only cared about learning by himself, and did not take himself to learn together.

How could Huo Yi not know that it was his teacher Dong Bo's private school, when he was still young, the prince Fu came to the door three times a day to tell and supervise him to study, fortunately, he has a strong self-discipline, and the rumored prince Fu Dong Bo, who has the name of exterminating the master, is just an unsmiling adult, and his various perverted punishment methods cannot be used here in Huo Yi, for this reason, Dong Bo is extremely pleased. One of the two is stern, the other is cold, but they also get along well, until Dong Bo abdicated, opened a private school, recruited students, the title of the prince is by no means a false name, Dong Bo opened a private school for a year, and became famous, plus he originally served as the prince Fu, and the students who came to sign up were endless, if it wasn't for Huo Yi to speak in person, he would never have recruited Lin Xuan, but Lin Xuan was also angry, especially among a group of students.

It's just that Dong Bo has a very stubborn temper and doesn't like students to ask for leave, if Lin Xuan is brought out, I'm afraid it will make this prince angry, not to mention that Dong Fu is very fond of Lin Xuan, how can people say that they will take it away.

Although Huo Yi is not afraid of this crown prince, he doesn't want to make him angry, after all, Dong Fu has a good relationship with the deceased emperor, and he still respects Dong Fu. said: "Lin Xuan is Xi'er's uncle, and he must be present at Xi'er's full moon, so use this reason." ”

Song Jingyang snickered: This reason is too far-fetched, both of them are children, how can there be any rules that must be present, it is better to directly say that it is because the little boy wants to be a younger brother! Who doesn't know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince spoils his wife very much!

Why bother Qi's face is even more gloomy, it is more than ten days before the full moon of the little prince, if he says this to the prince, it won't provoke the old gentleman to blow his beard and stare at him! He pursed his lips and said in a consultative tone, "...... Your Highness, isn't this a little longer? ”

Although Huo Yi also felt that the time was a bit long, he couldn't refuse when he thought of the expectant eyes when he snuggled into his arms. Huo Yi put his hands behind his back and asked rhetorically, "Is it long?" "The tone is dull, and there is a hint of impatience.

He Biqi heard the impatience in Huo Yi's voice, so he said: "When the private school opens early tomorrow morning, the subordinates will rush over." ”

Huo Yi arranged a qiē, paced forward, and said, "It's late at night, let's go back." ”

He Biqi stepped forward sideways, stretched out his hand and pressed it in the dark compartment of the wall, and saw the secret door of the secret room slowly open, Fang retreated to Song Jingyang, bowed down and asked Huo Yi to go first.

&

Early the next morning, when Lin Sansi woke up, he found that there was no one on the pillow, and when he reached out and touched it, the bed was still warm, and it seemed that Huo Yi had not been up for a long time.

Sister-in-law Li happened to enter the door with hot water, and when she saw Lin Sansi waking up, she said: "The weather is very good today, Your Highness went out to bask in the sun with the little son, and Fu Ling also followed to the side to serve, and the slave estimated the hour, you should wake up, so you came to serve." ”

As soon as Lin Sansi heard that Huo Yi took Xi'er out to bask in the sun, he was still a little worried, and when he heard that Fu Ling was also following, he was no longer worried, Fu Ling was careful, and naturally he would not make a mistake.

Lin Sansi smiled and said, "There is Sister-in-law Lao Li." ”

Sister-in-law Li twisted the hot towel and handed it over, and said happily: "What are you polite to the slave maid, the slave maid can serve His Royal Highness, you and the little boy, it is a blessing that the slave and maid have cultivated for several lifetimes!" ”

Lin Sansi took the hot towel, and when he turned his head, he saw that there were a few silver threads in Sister-in-law Li's hair, and his heart moved slightly, and he wiped his face quietly.

"Sister-in-law Li, you come with me." Lin Sansi wiped her face, walked to the side of the dresser, reached out to open one of the cabinets, took out a brocade box and opened it, which was full of all kinds of rare treasures, all of which were given to her by Huo Yi. Thinking about when she first came, she was penniless, and she didn't even have a decent set of clothes, but she didn't expect that unconsciously, there was such an item, stuffed with a big brocade box, in fact, she didn't fancy jewelry or anything, Huo Yi gave it, she put it in the first brocade box, and now what she often wears on her body is the jade bracelet that Huo Yi gave her first, because she knows that the jade bracelet has an extraordinary meaning for Huo Yi. "Sister-in-law Li, I don't wear these jewelry, it's all wasted here, you can use some of it, or sell it."

Sister-in-law Li was wondering why Miss Lin wanted her to show her jewelry, and suddenly heard her say this, she couldn't help but be very surprised, and quickly shook her head and waved her hand: "Miss Lin, these slaves and maids can't be wanted, they are all rewarded to you by His Royal Highness, and the slaves and maids can't ask for them, besides, the slaves and maids are in the house, they eat well, live well, and dress well, what can they do with these things?" ”

Lin Sansi didn't persuade, just smiled faintly, gently put the brocade box on the table, and walked to the side bedroom, on the side table, Sister-in-law Li had just served a few breakfasts. "Sister-in-law Li, I made so many delicious things this morning!"

Sister-in-law Li was worried that her words were too straightforward, which would make Lin Sansi unhappy, and was thinking about how to explain it, when she heard her say this, she knew that she was not angry, so she smiled and said: "The slave maid also has the advantage of cooking." ”

Lin Sansi sat down, ate a few bites of fried dumplings, and suddenly said casually: "Is it a relative who came to the mansion to look for you that day?" ”

When Sister-in-law Li heard this, her face turned red, and she couldn't help lowering her head: "Don't hide it from Miss Lin, the slave and maid have almost no relatives in their hometown, and the one who came that day was from a village in the slave's hometown, and he also had relatives, and I don't know how he found out that the slave maid was on an errand in the prince's mansion, so he wanted to come to the slave and maid, and let the slave and maid persuade him to leave." ”

Lin Sansi continued to eat breakfast, "Are you here to take refuge in you, or are you here to ask for silver?" ”

When Sister-in-law Li heard Lin Sansi say this, she knew that she also understood the general situation, so she no longer concealed it, and simply said everything. "I'm not afraid of Miss Lin's jokes when I say it, the slave and maid beat the child and have no father and mother, they are adopted, the adoptive father and their daughter are very good to the slave and maid in Nier, when they are the poorest, there is no rice to cook, they would rather sell Da Nier for some silver, than sell slaves and maids, Da Nier was sold to Wang Tong in the same village as a daughter-in-law, life is not very good, Wang Tong is good at gambling and drinking, and there are no clothes left for frequent gambling, and when he is drunk at home, he beats Da Nier, saying that Da Nier has no luck." When Sister-in-law Li said this, she turned around and quietly tried the tears in the corners of her eyes, and said, "When my adoptive father and adoptive mother were dying, the one I was most worried about was Da Nier, and I told the slave and maid to help her more if they could."

Lin Sansi didn't eat a few bites, then put down his chopsticks, his delicate brows furrowed slightly, and said, "So, the person who came to you is that Wang Tong?" ”

Sister-in-law Li nodded, sighed heavily, and said: "The slave and maid have given him all the money they have saved over the years, I hope he can treat Da Nier better, after all, it is the slave and the maid who owe Da Nier, if it weren't for the more slave and maid's mouth, the adoptive father and adoptive mother would not have fallen to the point where they couldn't open the pot, and Da Nier would not have been sold to others as a daughter-in-law, and it would not have fallen to this point." ”

"You can't be blamed for that." Lin Sansi shook his head gently, the status of ancient women was low, and Da Nier could only swallow her anger when she was bullied like this. "But he is a gambler, he is a bottomless pit, can you still raise him for the rest of your life?"

Sister-in-law Li smiled bitterly: "Otherwise, what else can I do, watching him torture Da Nier, and besides, they still have a child, if you don't ask, the slave will feel guilty for a lifetime." ”

"Sister-in-law Li, if you really want to save Da Nier and yourself, you have to listen to me."

Sister-in-law Li's eyes widened, and she didn't know why.

"This kind of person is greedy, as long as you give him enough benefits, he will promise you anything." Lin Sansi smiled, stood up and walked to the dresser, and picked up the brocade box again: "You take some jewelry and sell it, redeem Da Nier from Wang Tong, and then find a good house for Da Nier, so that she and her son can live quietly, and you will no longer be disturbed by Wang Tong." ”

Sister-in-law Li seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, full of hope but a little hesitant, and said, "Can this work?" ”

Lin Sansi raised his chin, and his graceful curvature and pink skin looked unusually bright and moving in the warm light of the room. "Why not? You can reconcile with your husband, and Da Nier can escape from Wang Tong's clutches, as long as we are willing to help her. ”

"Wang Tong is careful, the slave and maid are not good at fooling him."

"Let's not fool him, if he knows that the long-term interests are greater than the immediate interests, then let's increase the chips and add more silver, as long as he is willing to add silver, he will not refuse, besides, at a critical time, you can also ask the Song guards to help scare him, not afraid that he will not agree."

Sister-in-law Li nodded: "Cheng, but the slave maid can't sell your jewelry, and the slave maid still has some silver on her." ”

"Since Wang Tong knows that you are doing things in the prince's mansion and dares to come to you, it is not a little silver that can send him away, these jewels are lying in the box, they are nothing, but if they can help Daniel, it is a merit." The more Lin Sansi spoke, the more excited she became, as if she had returned to the time when she was still in the Lin Mansion, she and Fu Ling and Lily often secretly did some things that made her father and mother scold, sometimes she could help others, and sometimes she would be self-defeating and hurt others, and now that she thinks about it, she feels that a long time has passed. "What do you say, Sister-in-law Li?"

"This ......"

"Sister-in-law Li, there is no such shop in this village, don't hesitate."

Sister-in-law Li was also fed up with Wang Tong's entanglement, so she simply gritted her teeth and stomped her feet: "Okay, the slave maid listens to Miss Lin." ”

"You go to Wang Tong first, probe his tone, how much money can solve this matter, let's be prepared, when you come back, you find a gentleman to write a note, this matter must be written clearly in black and white, even if Wang Tong regrets it in the future and reports to the yamen, we are not afraid of him."

Sister-in-law Li was full of smiles, and Miss Lin said that she was really not afraid of the yamen, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not bigger than the officials in the yamen! "It's still Miss Lin's thoughtfulness, the slave maid will clean up and go to see Wang Tong."

Lin Sansi hesitated for a moment, but still spoke: "The matter of Fu Ling last time was a bit similar to that of Da Nier, I don't have to trouble His Highness so much, but I don't want to trouble Your Highness, what we can do by ourselves, we can do it ourselves, I don't want His Highness to focus on these things, but it will be a lot of trouble, Sister-in-law Li, will you blame me?" ”

Sister-in-law Li shook her head and said seriously: "Miss Lin, how can the slave blame you?" If it weren't for the method you thought of, the slave and maid would be entangled by the king for the rest of their lives, and the slave and maid had served His Royal Highness the prince for so many years, and the slave and maid knew that His Royal Highness was a person who did great things, and the slave and maid were the same as you, hoping that His Royal Highness could achieve great things. ”

Lin Sansi smiled gently: "Well, you can go." ”

&

After Sister-in-law Li left, Lin Sansi waited in the house for a while, but didn't see Huo Yi and Xi'er come back, so he simply put into practice the plan he had initially thought of last night, and asked Lily to find oil paper and pen and ink, and the two of them started to cut the oil paper into the size of two hands, marked each piece of paper digitally, stacked them together one by one, and then moved the table to a warm and sheltered place, Lin Sansi sat down at the table and began to write.

Lily was illiterate, only waiting for Lin Sansi to eat, drink and polish ink on the side, and from time to time smoothed out the crumpled oil paper for her, the quiet afternoon passed quickly, and after a while, Lin Sansi wrote several pieces of oil paper.

Lin Sansi hung his head and wrote for a while, then thought about it, and finally shook his head and said, "Lily, you help me think about it, what stories did I tell Xi'er a few days ago?" I can't remember several of them at once. ”

"The slave doesn't know what you're talking about, miss, the slave only heard you talk about the prince, the princess, the dwarf, well, the frog and the prince or something......"

Lin Sansi's eyes lit up: "Yes, yes, Snow White and the seven dwarfs and the frog prince, how can I forget it!" Anything else? ”

"I don't remember." Lily shook her head seriously, it was good that she could remember so much, after all, she never knew what else could happen between the frog and the prince! Lily stretched out her head and glanced at the oiled paper, although she couldn't understand it, she only felt that the lines of small words were particularly upright, and she couldn't help asking, "Miss, what are you writing here?" ”

Lin Sansi didn't raise his head, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, thinking that Huo Yi only told the beginning of the story last night, he couldn't help but laugh a little, originally wanted Huo Yi to tell fairy tales to lull Xi'er to sleep, but when he got to Huo Yi, it became a horror story. "I want to write down all the stories I can think of, so that His Highness can read them to Xi'er."

Lily pursed her lips and said strangely, "Doesn't Your Highness know how to tell stories?" ”

Lin Sansi shook his head bitterly, and suddenly remembered another story in his mind, and said while shaking his head: "Yes, I can't be too good, I estimate that I will let His Highness continue to talk like this, Xi'er is not crazy, I will also be crazy, His Highness's story is really too exciting, I am still creepy!" ”

Lin Sansi buried her head in writing on the oiled paper, she didn't notice that there was an extra person in the room, and she didn't see the lily looking at her, and when she didn't hear a response for a long time, when she looked up, there was still a lily's shadow in the house.

Only Huo Yi looked at her with a smile, and her embarrassed face was reflected in her pool-like eyes.
