Lin Yan was silent for a moment, and said to Mu Qing: "My aunt must love the emperor very much." ”

Mu Qing's movements in his hand paused, and then picked it up again, and said: "Empress Yuan told the slave maid that if she was allowed to choose, she would not be willing to be the queen, she would rather have a family in the palace peacefully, and she would be a princess of peace." But she also said that she knew that the emperor had the ambition to govern the country and the country, and also had the mind and strategy to become a Ming monarch, and as a wife, she could not stop it. ”

Lin Yan was silent for a moment, and said to Mu Qing: "My aunt must love the emperor very much." ”

Mu Qing's movements in his hand paused, and then picked it up again, and said: "Empress Yuan told the slave maid that if she was allowed to choose, she would not be willing to be the queen, she would rather have a family in the palace peacefully, and she would be a princess of peace." But she also said that she knew that the emperor had the ambition to govern the country and the country, and also had the mind and strategy to become a Ming monarch, and as a wife, she could not stop it. ”

So at that time, she knew that the Lin family was taking the golden mean, and she had no intention of participating in the battle for the prince, but she still asked for the support of the Lin family for the emperor. That's why she was overworked and died young.

Lin Yan didn't speak again, and after a while, she asked Mu Qingdao again: "By the way, Aunt Mu, how did you come to serve your aunt?" ”

Mu Qingdao: "The slave maid was originally the palace maid who served in the palace of the first emperor and concubine, and was punished by her aunt for making a mistake. ”

Lin Yan nodded and said no more.

In the palace on the other side.

Father-in-law Wan walked into the inner prison. His own little father-in-law came forward to pick up the Buddha dust in his hand and waited for him to enter the door.

Inside the room, there were two little eunuchs in Tsing Yi holding a little eunuch in blue who was hanging on a spring stool to play the board. The little eunuch in blue was stuffed with a cloth in his mouth, with tears on his face, and when he saw Gonggong Wan coming in, he raised his head and shook his head desperately, whimpering and wanting to speak.

If you look closely, you can see clearly that the little eunuch is the one who led Lin Yan to the palace.

Gonggong Wan didn't even look at him, he crossed him and went into the inner room to change his clothes. After coming out slowly, he sat down on the chair and said to the two little eunuchs in Tsing Yi who were playing the board: "Stop." ”

The little eunuch in blue finally spit out the rags in his mouth, and then said with tears and snot: "Father-in-law, it is really the emperor who ordered me to invite Miss Lin Si ······"

Gonggong Wan let out an "oh", and then said: "Then you should tell me when the emperor ordered you, where and where you were ordered, whether it was you in your left ear, or in your right ear?" ”

The little eunuch in blue didn't answer his words, but kept crying and saying, "It's really me who was ordered by the emperor, begging my father-in-law to spare my life·······

Wan Gong said: "This has a long mouth, but it is not used to listen to the master's errands, but it is used to follow crooked ways, and I don't think there is any need to keep it." Go, boil a pot of oil. ”

The little eunuch in Tsing Yi next to him said yes and went out.

The little eunuch in blue was so frightened that his face was pale, and he kept begging for mercy: "Father-in-law spares his life, father-in-law spares his life······"

Wan Gonggong said meaningfully: "This slave, you can't always think about making mistakes and then begging for mercy, and the smart can't let yourself make mistakes." As he spoke, he glanced at the little eunuchs on both sides, so frightened that the little eunuchs all put their heads on their chests.

A little eunuch in Tsing Yi had already brought in a hot oil pot.

Gonggong Wan instructed: "Pour it down for me." ”

The little eunuch in blue was so frightened that he struggled from the stool and wanted to run out, but he was grabbed by the other two little eunuchs in green clothes and put him on the ground, pinched his mouth with his hand, and then the eunuch who served the oil pot poured boiling oil from his mouth.

The sound of hot oil burning their mouths could still be heard in the air, and the little eunuchs in the room were stunned, and their faces were sweating, as if the person who was burned was themselves.

The little eunuch in blue collapsed on the ground and rolled around covering his mouth, making a harsh and heart-rending sound.

Gonggong Wan stood up, glanced at the little eunuch in the room, and said, "I know what you guys think, but I tell you, no matter who it is, as long as he doesn't have this ······ for a day." He raised his finger, pointed to the sky, and continued: "None of them are worthy of your allegiance, don't forget that you are the emperor's servants. Next time someone doesn't keep their mouth open," he pointed to the little blue-clothed eunuch on the ground: "This, this is your fate." ”

Today, someone can fake the holy decree in order to curry favor with the prince, and tomorrow someone will dare to reveal the emperor's whereabouts to other palace concubines, or help outsiders to be unfavorable to the emperor. The Qinzheng Palace and the Qianqing Palace cannot be turned into a sieve in his hands.

Wan Gonggong continued: "Don't dare to do anything just because I spoil you on weekdays, you can't afford to be angry when I get angry." This palace is not a place for you to go wild······"

*****

In the Mansion of the Duke of Wuguo.

Lin Yan came out of the bath room after taking a bath, and then saw Mu Lan who was already waiting outside.

Lin Yan called her over and asked, "Did you find out what happened to the nurse's house?" ”

Mu Lan nodded and said, "Mother Gui's brother is seriously ill and needs a century-old ginseng for medicine. It's just that a hundred years of ginseng is precious, and it is not easy to obtain, although there is it in the lady's treasury, but the slave does not dare to take it without permission, and asks the young lady to decide. ”

Gui's mother's brother, she remembered that he was the one who ransomed Gui's mother's family back then. Although Gui's mother was sold into the house to be a maid when she was poor, she was able to think of ransoming her sister's family later, which shows that this person's nature is not bad, and it is no wonder that Gui's mother cares so much about this brother.

Lin Yan said to Mu Lan: "Send it to her, Mother Gui will milk me after all." ”

Mu Lan said yes, then took the key to the warehouse and found the ginseng, and immediately sent it to Gui's mother, and when she came back, she replied to Lin Yan: "Listen to the doctor's meaning, as long as you have this ginseng, Gui Boss's illness will basically be fine, and Gui Boss himself is a person who picks and sells medicines, and other medicinal materials can be matched by himself." I also sent fifty taels of silver to Gui's mother. ”

Lin Yan nodded.

Then on the second day, Gui's mother came into the house again, bringing a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl with her.

Mother Gui pointed to the girl and said to Lin Yan: "Miss's great kindness, I can't repay it, this is my daughter, let her serve by Miss's side, and repay Miss's kindness for me." ”

Lin Yan blew the tea in the tea bowl, took a sip, and then said: "Nurse, I didn't help you to repay you, there is no shortage of people around me to serve." ”

Mother Gui knelt down and said to Lin Yan: "Please also ask Miss to accept her, although I am not a great person, but I also know how to repay kindness." My daughter has no other skills, but she has studied medical skills with the doctor for several years, and she has read some medical books, and she has some attainments in medical skills. I know that the person Miss is going to marry is unusual, and with her watching by Miss's side, she can always block some ghosts and ghosts. ”

Lin Yan thought for a while, then looked at the girl beside Gui's mother and asked her, "Are you willing to follow me?" ”

She looked at Lin Yan and said, "Miss saved my uncle, that is, saved our family, I am willing to follow Miss and repay Miss for her great kindness." She thought for a moment, and then continued: "I will always be loyal to Miss, loyal to Miss, Miss will give birth to me, and I will definitely let Miss live when I die." ”

Lin Yan smiled, only thinking that this girl was really interesting.

Lin Yan asked Gui's mother again: "Are you really willing to let her serve me, it is likely that you will never see each other again in the future." ”

Mother Gui slammed her head on the ground and said, "Please Miss take her." ”

Lin Yan nodded and said to them, "You guys get up first." ”

When they got up, Lin Yan asked her again, "What's your name?" ”

The girl said, "Yun'er." ”

Yun'er, she remembered that the name of Wu Guifei in the palace was Wu Yun. If she were to follow her into the palace, then she would no longer be able to use that name.

Lin Yan said: "The name was originally given by my parents, and it is not easy to change, but this name will collide with the nobles, if you want to serve by my side, you can no longer call this name, I will change another name for you." After thinking for a while, he pointed to Mulan Muzhi and said, "You can follow Muzhi Mulan and call it Mu Ye." ”

Mu Ye knelt down and said, "Miss Mu Ye Xie gives the name." ”

Lin Yan nodded, and said: "You don't have to rush into the house to serve, go back to your own house first, get together with your mother and uncle, cherish this time, and come back to me after the New Year." ”

Mu Ye said yes.

After the winter solstice, it was followed by Laba. After Laba, then it was the Spring Festival.

Before the end of the year, Lin Yan's marriage with the emperor finally completed the three ceremonies of Najib, Nazheng and Invitation, and the Ministry of Rites set the date of the emperor's wedding in March next year.

Lin Yan's birthday was early, in February. That is, in the coming year, Lin Yan will finish the ceremony, and then the emperor and queen will get married.

This can be regarded as a happy event, but before the New Year, something happened in the Lin family that was not very pleasant.

At the beginning of the matter, Mrs. Hou of the Zhongshan Hou Jiang family went to the door with a hairpin and a handkerchief, and talked with the Li family in Funing Hall for a long time, and then Mrs. Zhongshan Hou left the hairpin and the handkerchief and left.

After Li came out of the house, he was furious and said to the maid, "Call me Lin Li's girl." ”

After Lin Li came, he threw the hairpin engraved with her name and the handkerchief embroidered with Dilian on her, and scolded angrily: "Look at the good things you have done, you are still ashamed of a girl's family." ”

Lin Li looked like he didn't know what was going on, knelt down aggrievedly, and said with tears in his eyes: "Mother, before you convict your daughter, you should also let your daughter know what happened." I don't know what my daughter did to make you so angry."

Li Shi pointed at her and said, "You are still pretending here, let me ask you, what good deeds have you done in Qingliang Temple." I don't ask you to take responsibility for the Lin family like Yuan Yuan, but you shouldn't discredit the Lin family either. If you do such a thing, are you worthy of your father? ”

Lin Li cried: "What did my daughter do in Qingliang Temple? The daughter has been accompanying her aunt to chant and chant Buddha in a regular manner, overspending her father and eldest brother, praying for her mother and second brother and third brother, and there is never the slightest irregularity. ”
