Chapter 29: The Visitation
Queen Lin has been in a good mood in the past two days, and the reason is that the emperor has come in the past two days. Pen~Fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Mama Wu, who was sent to call the Yunyang County Lord the day before yesterday, returned injured and returned, and Queen Lin was not very happy. Before he could have a seizure, the emperor came. The emperor hadn't been here for half a month, and when he suddenly arrived in front of the palace, Queen Lin was really surprised and delighted. She hurriedly touched up her makeup and straightened her clothes. In fact, even if you don't make up for it, it's nothing. Empress Lin was born in a famous family, and she was taught to be dignified and generous since she was a child, even in her own palace, whether the emperor came or not, Queen Lin never messed up her appearance.
The emperor had already entered the palace gate, and Lin Caier hurriedly came to meet the driver. The emperor gave a false hand. She looked up, a smile in her eyes. Rong Qi saw her, with red lips and blue hairpins, willow eyebrows and apricot eyes, so beautiful that it can be said that people can't find any mistakes or omissions. Originally, because Zhao Ruoyun was unhappy with suffering, most of it gradually disappeared. He sighed silently in his heart, such a good girl, such a good background, just entered the palace gate. How much happiness can you have when you enter the palace gate? He looked at Lin Cai'er looking at him, and knew that she was sincere to herself no matter what. First, pity rose in the heart.
"Your Majesty, do you have something on your mind?"
"Oh, no, it's just that I've been busy lately, and the new concubines who have entered the palace are inevitably arrogant, and they also need to be appeased, so they ignore the queen for a while. Seeing it today, I feel that the queen has a feeling of being newlywed. I was in a trance for a while. Lin Cai'er heard the emperor say this, although she has been a father for many years, her cheeks are still crimson.
Rong Qing took her hand and said, it seems that the queen has not seen her for a few days, and it seems to be more beautiful. "Your Majesty." Lin Caier lowered her head shyly. Seeing her like this, Rong Qi let go and sat down. Someone came to serve tea, and Lin Caier said that it was hot and made herbal tea. Since the second time, Lin Caier's face was red just now.
"I haven't come these days, is it strange for the queen?" Rong Qi opened his mouth first. Although he still didn't have the intention of blaming Queen Lin in his heart, he still wanted to explore her thoughts, and more importantly, there were some things that she had to adapt to.
"How dare the concubine blame the emperor, the concubine thinks that it is because of the second uncle's matter, and the emperor is angry with the concubine, so she is very frightened."
"The Queen's Second Uncle?" Rong Qing smiled, and shook his head lightly while blowing open the tea foam in the cup. "The queen is too worried, the second uncle is the second uncle, you are you. Besides, your second uncle, I have already checked the matter of enclosing land and occupying land, and forcibly buying and selling. Although it is true, there are also exaggerated elements. Your second uncle has been stationed in Haiphong for many years, and he has no merit and hard work. Besides, he is very familiar with coastal defense, and I can't do without him. It's nothing more than standing on the ground, grabbing the goods, and returning it. Rong Qing took a sip of tea and continued, "There are many things that your second uncle doesn't know about, and most of them are made by the people below. I punished your second uncle for half a year, although I didn't have the intention, there are always people who are not strict with the emperor. I always have to give an explanation to outsiders. In addition, I also asked your grandfather to remind him more Xie that Lin Yuan was a military general after all, and there were many things that he couldn't think through. ”
"It's still the emperor's thoughtfulness, and the concubine thanked the emperor for the second uncle." Lin Caier bowed her head and saluted.
"Get up, don't get up and kneel around. I actually came today to discuss something with the queen. Rong Qi pulled Lin Cai'er to his side and sat down.
"If the emperor has any orders, just say it."
"It's just over a month before August 15, and when I first ascended the throne, it coincided with years of war, excessive emptiness, and the people were struggling to make a living. Although I was in the royal family, I couldn't ignore the people's suffering, so I ordered all the banquets in the palace to be stopped. There is only one banquet held every year on Chinese New Year's Eve, and it is also a small sitting of the royal family. This year is a good year, and I want to hold a palace banquet on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival. ”
"The emperor is young and promising, and he used not to hold a palace banquet to understand the suffering of the people, but now he is politically harmonious and the national strength is prosperous, and the palace banquet is also a great country that should be." Lin Caier looked at Rong Qing and said, her eyes were full of love and admiration.
Rong Qing put her hand in the palm of her hand and rubbed it gently, "Even so, I still don't want to be too extravagant. It is necessary to have both royal bearing and relaxation, and not too luxurious. I thought about it, although the Ministry of Rites was familiar with all kinds of regulations, but it was not exempt from pedantic. I want to leave this matter to the queen, okay? ”
"Me?"
Rong Qing patted Lin Cai'er's hand and said, "What? The queen is afraid of hard work? ”
"That's not it, it's just that the concubines are stupid, and they are afraid that they will lose their dignity and make the emperor disgraceful." Lin Cai'er warbler said.
"Hahaha, the queen said with a smile, if you want to talk about knowledge and taste, it may be difficult for someone in this palace to come out of you. How about it, Cai'er, would you like to share your worries for me? Rong Qing hugged Lin Cai'er into her arms again, letting her forehead against her cheek.
"The concubine is willing." Lin Cai'er's voice was almost inaudible.
"Then I will thank the queen first." Rong Qing held Lin Caier's face and said. If he is an ordinary man, just this handsome face and pure temperament are enough to make countless girls feel excited. But he is the emperor sitting upright in the Jinluan Palace, but he is also detached in all kinds of civil and martial arts. Lin Caier clearly felt the sudden heartbeat of herself. "The emperor is making fun of his concubines." She pushed Rong Qing away and turned to hide her hot face.
"I still have something to do, the queen has a good rest first, I am coming at night." Because she was too close, Rong Qing's breath of speaking blew Lin Cai'er's hair and teased her heart. Without waiting for Cai'er to answer, Rong Qing had no choice but to walk outside.
Lin Cai'er stood stunned and watched him leave. "Oh, yes." was about to walk out of the store, Rong Qing turned around and said. "When I came here just now, I saw Mama Wu in your palace returning from injury. Now that the Mid-Autumn Festival Palace Banquet is a big event, let's put other things aside first. ”
"The concubine obeys." Lin Caier replied instinctively, she didn't have time to think about what the emperor meant. He came so suddenly, and then just said and left. He was delighted when he came, and he could only watch him go away in this way when he left.
Lin Caier once again felt sad about her situation. "Mother?" Lin Cai'er's personal maid Bizhu called her. "Don't look at it, the emperor is gone, but didn't the emperor say that he would come to see Niangniang at night." Bizhu is Lin Caier's dowry maid, who grew up together from the next and knows Lin Caier's mind well.
yes, he'll be coming. He is the emperor, I am the empress, and we are husband and wife. So, what am I not satisfied with? Lin Caier comforted herself in her heart.
Rong Qing walked out of the queen's palace gate, and for some reason he also breathed a sigh of relief. Cai'er is a beautiful woman, dignified and elegant, knowledgeable, no matter which man sees it, he will take a few more looks. It's just that Rong Qing always remembers that she is the daughter of the Lin family.
Lin Mu was the chief assistant of the court, and he really lived up to the reputation of the Lin family for many years, and he was a good hand at managing internal affairs. Since Rong Qi ascended the throne, he has also relied on many government affairs. Lin Mu has two sons, the eldest son Lin Chang and the son Lin Yuan. Lin Chang has a quiet temperament, is good at calculation, has a clear mind, was the head of the household department at the time, was in charge of the money and grain of the imperial court, and was the head of the country, except for the ministers of the same level, the emperor's brother Rong Qing can sit on an equal footing with him, and the other Shangshu must be a little more respectful when they see him. Lin Caier is Lin Yuan's daughter, and Lin Chang also has a young son, who is still young and underage. Lin Mu's second son, Lin Yuan, has a different personality from his eldest brother, with a strong temperament, martial arts, aggressiveness, and flamboyance. In order to strengthen the restraint on him, Lin Mu was sent to the army as soon as he became an adult. Now he is the commander of the Eastern Navy, General Sanpin.
