Chapter Seventy-Three: Staying in the Palace
Lin Yan asked people to send the Zhuang family and the Shi family out of the palace, and when she saw that it was still early, she simply picked out some medicinal materials and rewards in the treasury, called Ye Gonggong, and instructed him: "Mrs. Yueguo Shizi is pregnant, you go to Yueguo Gongfu to visit Mrs. Shizi on behalf of the palace." ”
After thinking for a while, he said, "Take Imperial Doctor Li from Tai Hospital with you to see if Mrs. Shizi is in good arms." You tell Mrs. Shizi to let her take good care of the fetus, and when the child is born, let her hold the child and show it to the palace. ”
Ye Gonggong said yes with a smile, and then withdrew.
Lin Yan was a little excited, turned her head and asked Mu Qingdao: "You said that newborn children, how big are the small clothes and shoes?" The palace asked the Shang Gong Bureau to make some small clothes and shoes for the children of the princess of Yue Guo and the little brother in the mother's belly. ”
Mu Qing smiled and said, "It's still early at this time, the child of the prince of Yue Guo will not be born until the month of Layue, and the child of the third lady of Lin will not be born until October." ”
Lin Yan thought about it and couldn't help laughing: "That's what I said." ”
Although she was happy but not surprised that her mother was pregnant, she was surprised and surprised that her mother was pregnant. The woman who was close to her, with the brutality and cuteness of a girl, was going to be a mother in a blink of an eye. She always felt like the time they were talking together was as if it had happened yesterday.
Mu Ye smiled and said, "Niangniang is really good to Mrs. Yue Guogong. ”
Mu Lan turned her head to look at her, raised her chin, and said, "Of course, when I was in the Guogong Mansion, except for Miss Six, Niangniang was the best with Mrs. Yueguo Gongzi." ”
Mu Ye smiled with his lips and did not speak.
Compared with Mu Ye and Mu Zhi, she followed Niangniang before Niangniang entered the palace, so she naturally didn't know Niangniang's life in her mother's house. Whether it is the mother's love for Mu Zhi Mulan or the love between Mu Zhi Mulan, she is a latecomer who can't compare. Because of this, Mulan was more or less repulsive to her.
Lin Yan smiled, and didn't care about the careful thoughts between their palace maids. looked at the sky, and instructed Mu Zhi again: "The emperor is coming back soon, you go to the imperial dining room to see if dinner is ready." ”
Mu Zhi bent his knees, said yes, and went out.
But before the dinner was brought back, the people around the emperor arrived, came in and saluted Lin Yan and said: "The emperor asked the servants to come and tell Niangniang that the emperor will not go back to Changkun Palace today to have dinner with Niangniang, let Niangniang have a good meal." ”
Lin Yan was stunned for a moment, since the wedding, the emperor has come to Changkun Palace every night to have dinner with her, and then stayed in Changkun Palace without interruption. She is even used to having someone to eat with her every night, and she will have an extra hug when she sleeps at night.
It was only today's father-in-law's words that reminded her that the emperor was not the only place to go in Changkun Palace.
After the wedding, the emperor stayed in Changkun Palace for two months in a row in order to give her face as the new queen. But the emperor will eventually return to other places in the harem, and the emperor's grace is covered with rain and dew, which is the correct way for the emperor to open.
Lin Yan's mood can't be said to be sad, but she is somewhat lost.
She nodded to the visitor and said, "This palace knows." ”
Mu Qing glanced at Lin Yan, and then smiled and said to the father-in-law who stood up and bent down to withdraw: "Father-in-law, I'll send you out." Saying that, he greeted him affectionately, took the father-in-law's hand, and went out while smiling.
When Mu Qing came back, he glanced at Lin Yan, and then said, "It's Hu Zhaorong." ”
After a pause, he continued: "The emperor met the eldest princess in the imperial garden, and the eldest princess complained that the emperor hadn't been to see her for a long time, and then the emperor went to Huayang Palace with the eldest princess and Hu Zhaorong. ”
Lin Yan nodded, no matter what method Hu Zhaorong used, she could invite the emperor to her Huayang Palace, that was her ability.
Since the emperor planned to have dinner in Huayang Palace, he would naturally stay in Huayang Palace at night.
Lin Yan didn't have much appetite for dinner, so after eating, she walked in the courtyard for a while, practiced calligraphy for a while, and then prepared to bathe and sleep early.
When she was removing the hairpin ring on her head, Mu Qing walked in, she looked up at her, and asked, "Aunt Mu, do you have something to say to me?" ”
Mu Qing nodded, walked over, took over Mu Zhi and Mu Lan's work, made a look to let Mu Zhi and Mu Lan out, and then said while personally removing the hairpin ring on Lin Yan's head: "Niangniang, the emperor is the emperor after all, he stayed in Changkun Palace for two consecutive months, and he has already given Changkun Palace enough face." There are so many beauties in the harem, if you don't keep him, there will be other palace concubines who will attract the emperor's attention. ”
Lin Yan already somewhat understood what Mu Qing was going to say next.
Sure enough, she then said: "You should have a round with the emperor as soon as possible." ”
Lin Yan lowered her eyes, she and the emperor hugged and slept night after night, but there was nothing deviant. This matter may be hidden from the people outside, but it can't be hidden from the people around her.
Mu Qing sighed lightly, the queen may not be able to accept the emperor's change from her uncle to her husband, and there may be some people who feel that if she really becomes a husband and wife with the emperor, it will be like robbing her aunt's man, and she will be sorry for the order of her death.
But she always had to understand that this man was already her husband, no longer her uncle, and he was still the emperor.
Even the relationship between the emperor and the queen is problematic, the emperor dotes on the queen very much, but this kind of doting and loving is more like doting and loving a likable child than a man's liking for a woman. And the empress will also be wrong, behaving like relying on and relying on the emperor as she does to her elders.
If it goes on like this, it's extremely dangerous.
Husband and wife should be husband and wife, love each other, and keep each other in order to keep going. If the queen can't occupy the emperor's heart, someone else will occupy the emperor's heart.
Mu Qing thought about it, gave her another dose of hard shots, and said: "The emperor has been on the throne for eight years, due to the instability of the court and the successive illnesses, the first two drafts have not been held, and this year's general election will be held no matter what. Because of the mother and the big wedding, the draft has been delayed for two months, and the list of the primary selection of the Ministry of Rites will soon be presented to the palace. Niangniang, there will soon be more beautiful and delicate beauties in the harem. ”
The Lin family and the queen may be able to take advantage of the emperor's pity for the succession now, but in the future, the red face has passed away, and the beauties are continuous, who can guarantee that the emperor will not fall in love with the new beauties in the future.
Lin Yan pinched the hairpin in her hand and looked at the woman's face in the diamond mirror.
The woman was dressed up, but her face was still childish.
After a long time, Lin Yan let out a long sigh and said, "Auntie, this palace knows." ”
