Lin Yan turned her head again and asked Princess Rui, "Did you come up with a ghost idea to teach Huan'er to do this?" ”

Princess Rui denied: "I didn't have it, Queen Mother, you don't know Huan'er's temperament, let him go to the east and west, how can you listen to me." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

So at first, she just taught Princess Jue to frame those bad goblins who wanted to seduce her father. But I didn't expect that Prince Huan was very smart, and he did it one step ahead of Princess Yijue.

Princess Rui looked at the little prince Huan, with a little satisfaction on her face, this younger brother who is usually the most mischievous still has merit.

Princess Jue ran over at this time, pulled Lin Yan's clothes, and said to Lin Yan in a childish voice: "Queen Mother, I don't like the sisters who live there, you quickly drive them away." ”

Lin Yan touched her head, then turned back and asked the little prince Huan, "What did the red girl tell you?" ”

Huan Xiaozi said: "She asked me to wait for my father to come back at night, so I asked my father to announce her to sing." ”

It seems that the red girl thought that the little prince Huan was young and easy to coax, so she used him to get close to the emperor, but the little prince didn't understand anything as she thought.

Lin Yantou was still a little worried and asked, "Then did you eat the pastry she gave you?" ”

The little prince said with a smile: "I threw the pastries she gave into the pool to feed the fish." ”

Lin Yan turned her head to Ye Gong on the side and said: "Go and tell the people who are waiting in the Xinghua Pavilion, and look at the four girls who are not allowed to leave the Xinghua Pavilion in the future, and those who have a piano, flute, and pipa, all of them will be taken away by the palace, whether it is the palace or the emperor, they don't like to listen to tunes." ”

Ye Gong said yes fairly, and then went out.

When the emperor came back in the evening, he asked, "I heard that Huan'er complained of a stomachache during the day, what's going on?" Have you asked the doctor to come and see you? ”

Lin Yan said: "This kid pretended to want to frame the girls in Xinghua Pavilion. The older this kid gets, the more he has his own ideas. ”

The emperor was relieved when he heard that the little prince Huan was fine, and then laughed again, and said, "This kid is quite smart, and he knows how to worry about you." ”

Lin Yan said in her heart, after all, she grew up in the palace, how could she really be as pure as a blank sheet of paper like a child outside.

The Emperor said, "When I came back from my trip to the outer city guard today, I encountered an interesting incident. ”

Lin Yan poured a bowl of tea and held it to him, said "oh", and asked: "If the emperor encounters any interesting things, let me hear about it." ”

The emperor said: "There was a common man who grabbed my royal driver in the street and wanted to sue the emperor, but the lawsuit was that my stepmother was vicious, and after my father's death, he swallowed the family property alone, drove him out of the house, and lived on the street. Later, I sent someone to inquire, and the person did live in a dilapidated house, while her stepmother and stepmother's younger brother were well fed and housed. If you were me, what would you do if something like this happened? ”

Lin Yan said: "It sounds like what that person said is the truth, and there has always been a saying among the people that if there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather, and it is not impossible for the stepmother to treat the stepson born by the original mate in front of him." However, since the emperor specially told me about it, I think there must be a reversal in this matter. ”

The emperor said: "Yes, I asked people to inquire a little more to find out that it was not his stepmother who treated him harshly at all, but that he was often disrespectful to his stepmother and unkind to his younger brother. Before his father's death, it was because he was afraid that after his death, the eldest son would not be able to treat his stepwife and second son well, so he divided the family for them in advance. But the man was not good at business and good at gambling, and soon after his father's death he lost his share of the property, so he took up his stepmother's brother's share of the property, and sued the wicked before me. However, her stepmother was very kind, and often used money to help him after he was down, and had a good reputation before the neighborhood. ”

Lin Yan smiled when she heard this, took a sip of tea, but was a little unimpressed.

Seeing her disapproving, the emperor couldn't help but smile and said, "Looking at your appearance, it seems that you don't agree with what I said?" Does that lady have another opinion? ”

Lin Yan didn't answer his words immediately, but asked, "Then how did you deal with this matter?" ”

The emperor said: "Naturally, he ordered someone to beat the person who sued the wicked man first, and then let people appease his stepmother." ”

Lin Yan said: "Maybe I'm thinking too much, although not all stepmothers in the world are vicious, but this stepmother may not be as kind as the emperor thinks." ”

The emperor listened, looked at her, and said, "Tell me about it." ”

Lin Yan said: "That stepmother is either really a kind person, or she is very good at pretending. I have never met her, and I can only analyze it by her actions. I asked the emperor, how old was the stepson when the stepmother entered the door? Is the stepmother's son better than the firstborn? Who has more property when they are separated? After the separation, who is taking care of the stepmother's property? ”

The emperor said: "When the stepmother entered the door, the stepson was about a year old, listen to the stepmother's words, the original partner died in childbirth when she gave birth, and her husband remarried her to let her take care of the eldest son, but unfortunately, the eldest son was not close to her, and her husband often disrespected her when he was there." Her son is indeed better than the eldest son, he is only sixteen years old but he is already a talent. When the family was divided, she shared more property than her stepson, and her husband knew the eldest son's temperament and was afraid that he would lose if he gave more property to him, so he gave more to his stepwife and younger son. She took care of the property that her stepmother shared, she was good at business, and she has taken care of this property more and more in recent years. ”

Lin Yan said: "So this is the problem, the eldest son was only more than a year old when the stepmother entered the door, and he didn't remember yet, if the stepmother really did her best to her stepson, even if the stepson couldn't recognize her as a mother, it was unlikely that she would be disrespectful to her, she had the ability to teach her son well, and teach her stepson badly?" It is difficult for a woman to support a family on her own without a man, but she can run the industry well, which shows that she has a lot of means. It's the stepson who can tell a lie that can be looped by casually checking and the wicked person sues first, which shows that he is not very smart. A smart person and a not very smart person made a move, and in the end, whether the stepmother's husband was alive or neighbors and relatives, they all thought that the stepmother had suffered a loss, Your Majesty, do you believe it? ”

I'm afraid that even the stepson has often been disrespectful to his stepmother since he was a child, and she deliberately wants her husband to see it. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to clean up a not-so-smart stepson with her abilities.

Lin Yan continued: "Also, women are very cautious. If the stepmother really suffered a lot of grievances in front of her stepson, after the stepson was down, even if she didn't go to the well, even if she had a good heart, how could she still help her eldest son, and when the eldest son was obviously ready to bite her at any time. ”

Just like she is to King Hui, according to etiquette, she is also King Hui's mother-in-law, and she has the responsibility of being a mother-in-law, but she will never be able to do to King Hui like she did to the third prince and the fourth prince. One day, if King Hui is down, she can do it without falling into the well and gloating, but she can't save him with motherly feelings.

So Lin Yan never felt that she was a good person, she didn't have the kindness of a good person, but she didn't think she was a bad person, and she never took the initiative to harm people. It can only be said that she is an ordinary woman.

The emperor smiled when he heard this, and said, "Then according to what you say, there is no good woman in this world who is kind and soft-hearted. ”

Lin Yan said: "It can only be said that most women are like this, but there should still be women who are kind and repay grievances with virtue." ”

But that stepmother should not be such a person, if she did not have a strong and fierce heart, only kindness and soft-heartedness, orphans and widows, her share of inheritance would have been eaten to the point that there were no bones left.

After Lin Yan finished speaking, she smiled and said to the emperor: "But these are all my woman's words, maybe I spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and that stepmother is really a person who repays grievances with virtue." ”

The emperor lowered his eyes slightly when he heard this, and said, "Actually, what you said makes sense, maybe I really handled a confused case this time." ”

Lin Yan said: "Don't worry too much about the emperor, although the stepmother doesn't know whether the heart is bad or not, but the person who sued the wicked first is indeed not right-minded, so the emperor did not beat the wrong person." (To be continued.) )
