Chapter 27: Asking for Names
After Lin Ying's matter was settled, the Lin family was not affected in the slightest, but the Wu family was implicated, which should have been something to be happy about.
It's just that before the Lin family could get happy, there was news of the prince's illness in the East Palace at this time.
If you are sick, you will be sick, the prince is just occasionally feeling a cold, it is not a serious illness, although the Lin family is worried, they are not making a fuss.
But the strange thing is that Concubine Cui Xian in the palace was ordered to take care of the prince, and after the prince recovered from his illness, he actually cried at Concubine Cui Xian, and was moved: "When Concubine Cui was taking care of Lone, Lone thought she had seen the queen mother. After being lonely, he regarded Concubine Cui as his mother······"
When these words came out of the palace, everyone looked at each other, and then looked at the Lin family with a complicated look.
This kind of thing, when the girl of the Lin family is about to become a successor, there are too many things to guess. At least it shows that the crown prince does not welcome Lin Yan to become the queen so much. Going a little deeper, is it that the prince has a dislike for the Lin family, and he no longer wants to rely on the Lin family and wants to rely on the strength of the Cui family.
Like the Lin family, which has guarded the northwest for generations, the Bohai Cui family is also a family of military generals who have guarded the east. The Lin family is the protective wall in the northwest, with the Lin family, the Hu people dare not attack, and the Cui family is the barrier on the eastern coast, with the Cui family, the pirates do not dare to go ashore. The Lin family has military power, and the Cui family also has it. The Lin family produced a queen, and the Cui family produced a virtuous concubine.
When Li Shi heard this, he was also shocked, and slammed the table angrily and said: "What is the prince doing, how can a person who usually looks quite smart say such a foolish thing." Doesn't he understand who we are doing everything possible to make Yuan Yuan the queen. ”
Lin Yong and Lin Ying also frowned deeply, especially Lin Ying, whose two eyebrows were almost wrinkled on their foreheads.
Qi turned his head to look at Zhuang, only to see Zhuang's face pale, moving his lips, and wanting to say something, but finally clenched his fists and held back.
Qi felt pity in his heart, and then turned his head to look at Lin Yan. Lin Yan still had gentle eyebrows and eyes, with a shallow smile on her face that could often be seen, as if this incident had not affected her in any way.
Qi said in his heart, this kid can calm down.
The Dou family also frowned at this time, and said, "You say, could it be that Concubine Cui Xian and the Cui family want to ······?"
Lin Yong shook his head and said, "I don't think so, I heard that Concubine Cui Xian was also very shocked when she heard the prince say these words, and on the second day, she asked the emperor that she wanted to go to Ci'an Palace to accompany Concubine Cui." What's more, the third prince is disabled, even if Concubine Cui Xian does this, what can she do, can she still push the third prince to the throne, and she has not offended our Lin family. Our Lin family and the Cui family have always been well water and do not interfere with river water, and the Cui family is afraid and will not be willing to be the enemy of our Lin family. ”
Dou said: "I'm just afraid that His Royal Highness is young and vigorous, his mind is not mature, and no one has been around to mention it all the year round, so he will be bewitched by scheming people with a heart." ”
Lee shares this concern.
Because of this, she strengthened her determination to let Yuan Yuan do this succession. Whether it is to stabilize the prince's position as the prince, or to keep the prince from separating from the Lin family, there should be a person from the Lin family in the palace.
Lin Yingdao: "No matter what, it depends on the emperor's attitude." As for His Highness······" He really didn't know what to say about this nephew who suddenly made a pit on his family. If he was born in an ordinary family, and there was no distinction between kings and ministers, he really wanted to pull him over and beat him.
What is my daughter who doesn't deserve to be you······ stepmother, he didn't dislike your father.
Despite all the turmoil, the royal naming ceremony after Nacai went ahead as scheduled.
The procedure of asking for names is no different from the procedure of Nacai, and it is still the Taiwei Song as the main envoy, and the Zongzheng Temple Qing Tan as the deputy envoy.
It's just that this time the text has become "Advisory, Wuguo Gongfu Lin surname, two Yi cooperation, Chengtian and Unified Things, is in the inner position, and must be ordered to the clan." Heavy chapter of the old classics, now envoy to the festival Taiwei Song, Zong Zhengqing Tan, to the name of the courtesy. ”
Lin Ying took over the text and replied: "The emperor has a good life, and the envoy re-declares the Chinese system and asks the ministers and families." Born to a courtier and his wife, the grandson of Lin Ci, the former hussar general, the great-grandson of Lin Xing, the grandson of Lin Xing, the grandson of Shangshu Forestry of the First Minister's Military Department, and the granddaughter of Lin Yue, who was 14 years old. Admire the old chapters and follow the canonical system. The commander of Shaanxi made Lin Yingji's head pause, and then bowed to the edict. ”
Since then, two of the six rituals have been taken.
After the messenger left, Lin Ying got up and looked at her daughter beside her, patted her shoulder gently, sighed lightly, and then said nothing.
The day after the name was asked, the aunt who taught Lin Yan etiquette in the palace also came.
But when Lin Yan saw the comer, she was still greatly surprised.
Because it was no one else, it was Mu Qing, who served Lin Xian back then. Lin Yan remembered this Aunt Mu who was almost inseparable from her aunt Lin Xian, very loyal to Lin Xian, and very trusted by Lin Xian.
She still remembers that when she was a child, she used to bring her pastries, when she was a child, she played with the prince in the palace, at that time it was just the prince of the prince's palace who was naughty, always playing with mud, and the maids of the palace loved to follow behind them and read "Your Royal Highness, please be careful, don't fall down, Miss Biao, please persuade Your Highness, he listens to you the most······"
And Mu Qing is never like the others, he will not let her persuade the prince not to be naughty, she will only send a plate of pastries when they are tired of playing. She still remembers the taste of the chestnut cake she made, which was soft and glutinous, and delicious.
Mu Qing was not as surprised as Lin Yan, she looked at her kindly, and said with a gentle smile: "Miss Cousin, haven't seen you for many years?" ”
Lin Yan said: "How could it be you?" ”
She also thought that after her aunt died, Mu Qing would serve by the prince's side to help her aunt take care of the prince.
Mu Qing seemed to know what she was thinking, and explained: "It was the slave maid who took the initiative to ask the emperor to come and serve by Miss Biao's side. ”
Lin Yan asked again, "What about the prince?" ”
Mu Qing replied: "When the immortals went one after another, they did not tell the slaves and maids to take care of the prince. ”
Seeing the confusion on Lin Yan's face, Mu Qing continued: "Before you die, let the slave and maid be loyal in the future." ”
In this way, when my aunt died, she already knew that the Lin family would definitely send another girl into the palace for the future. In other words, the matter of sending the girl of the Lin family to the palace again was originally discussed by the aunt and her grandmother, father and others.
But Lin Yan still doesn't understand, even if her aunt knows that it will be her sisters or nieces who will enter the palace in the future, it is not as good as her own prince, Mu Qing is the aunt's most trusted person, shouldn't she be arranged to protect the prince by the prince's side?
Mu Qing lowered her eyebrows and smiled lightly, Miss Biao may not understand, but she has been by her side for more than ten years, and she can see every thought at a glance, just like she can understand her mind at a glance.
Although there was a tacit understanding with the Lin family to go successively, the Lin family would continue to choose a girl to enter the palace to protect the prince, but no specific candidate was decided at that time.
But he told her one after another: "The one who will enter the palace in the future must be Yuan Yuan, because the Lin family can be a good queen, except for me, there is only Yuan Yuan." ”
