Chapter 37
It is said that when Daiyu Baochai was busy entering the palace, a major event also happened in the court, the emperor who had not been in the court for a long time suddenly held a court meeting, and announced at the court meeting that he had found the emperor's grandson Tu Huaishen - the son of the former abolished prince, and now the emperor and grandson are in the palace, and the grandchildren recognize each other. After the emperor threw down such a thunderbolt and shook down the ministers, he especially felt that it was not enough, and proposed on the spot to re-investigate the case of Prince Yizhong's rebellion and Weizhen, and his words seemed to have the intention of overturning the case for the abolished prince.
For a while, the court was silent, and some courtiers couldn't help but secretly glance at the emperor's face, but saw that the emperor's face was always as usual, as if he had expected this matter, until the emperor said that he wanted to re-investigate the case of Prince Yizhong's plot against the town, his face changed slightly, and the emperor looked at the emperor who seemed to be quite excited about the memory, although he did not speak, his face sank.
Discovering the different expressions of the two Majestic, some courtiers couldn't help but bow their heads, look at their noses and noses, and resolutely not make a head bird and do not participate in this matter.
Some people don't want to come out, so naturally some people want to take the opportunity to show Xiàn and get on top of the throne. Li Xuanqi, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites who had already taken refuge in the emperor, but had never been reused, felt that the time had come to worry about the monarch.
Li Xuanqi flicked his sleeves, came out of the ranks, bowed down, and said: "Emperor Qiqi, Weichen thinks that this matter is inappropriate, the evidence in the case of Prince Yizhong back then is conclusive, whether it is a rebellion or a nightmare, the human and material evidence is complete, and the truth has already been decided, and there is no need to re-examine." As for the emperor's grandson, with all due respect, the emperor's grandson was obviously with Prince Yizhong's princess and princess, and now a grandson suddenly appeared, and it has been too strange for many years, it is really difficult to distinguish the true from the false, and please be cautious. ”
The Emperor Taishang, who was still excited, laughed angrily: "According to what Li Qing's family said, I am an old fool who can't even recognize my grandson?" ”
Although the Emperor Taishang was not angry, and even had a smile on his face, but he could personally hear the anger contained in his words, hearing the words of the Emperor Taishang, Li Xuanqi broke out in a cold sweat, he wanted to please the emperor, but he never dared to say that the Emperor Taishang was an old fool, and immediately knelt down with a thud, his forehead hit the ground, and denied it again and again: "Weichen doesn't dare, Weichen doesn't dare, Weichen has no such intention!" Weichen is really out of a loyal heart, and he doesn't want the emperor to be deceived by villains, so he gives advice. ”
Seeing him like this, the Emperor snorted coldly, but he didn't call out, only glanced at the emperor coldly: "Could it be that the emperor thinks the same?" ”
The emperor secretly scolded Li Xuanqi in his heart, this idiot, he didn't succeed enough and lost more than he did, who made him jump out and talk nonsense? If the case of the abolished prince is re-investigated, not to mention whether it will be found on himself, just in the court, if the abolished prince is rehabilitated, then, many of the families who were exiled and convicted at the beginning may have to return to the court, and some people are going to go down, the old man wants to use this to re-install his own power and beat himself, but, the old man was so ruthless at the beginning, even if he came back, do people really listen to him now, or rather, he is prepared for the kid in vain Huaishen? Want to help yourself up again?
Although there were all kinds of calculations in his heart, the emperor still replied respectfully to the emperor: "The son naturally didn't mean this, but although Li Xuanqi spoke recklessly, there is still some truth in one thing, the son knows that his father loves the third brother and doesn't want to believe it, how can the son be willing to believe that the third brother will do such a thing?" It's just that the evidence for those two things is conclusive, and there is really no need to re-investigate. What's more, if you re-investigate, after so many years, I am afraid that it will be time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the impact will be great, causing everyone in the court to endanger themselves, but it still has no effect, so why bother? After speaking, the emperor sighed very sadly, with a face full of my third brother, why did you walk on that road of no return, looking very sad and regretful.
The Emperor Taishang didn't speak, only glanced at the ministers in the front row, Liu Guogong sighed in his heart, but still stood up, bowed, and said: "Qiqi Sheng, the ministers have something to play." ”
The emperor glanced at Liu Guogong, his face was expressionless, and his voice became low: "Oh, Liu Guogong has something to report?" ”
Liu Guogong felt the double coercion of the emperor and the emperor, and he was helpless, but he still told the matter as he had said in advance: "There is new evidence about the rebellion of Prince Yizhong and the case of Wei Zhen"
Some of the old ministers who had experienced the events of the year were even more worried that this re-examination would make the court face another purge and a big blood change, and one of the centers of the topic, was pacing around excitedly, and his heart was full of joy to see the old master again.
It turned out that since Daiyu and Baochai were officially awarded female officials, the two who took office took office and lived in Changle Palace, where Princess Anrou was located, the palace has its own rules, the princess will move out of her mother's palace after she is six years old, and live alone in a palace, Changle Palace is close to the queen's Jingren Palace, which is also the reason why Princess Anrou will live in Changle Palace.
Princess Anrou is the largest in the entire Changle Palace, but unfortunately Princess Anrou has a soft temperament, and the queen is afraid that she will not be able to suppress the palace people, so she sent Mama Lin, who is powerful next to her, to follow and assist the princess in handling the affairs of the palace, so the actual controller of Changle Palace is actually this Mama Lin.
This time, Daiyu and Baochai lived in Changle Palace, which was fully arranged by Mama Lin, Mama Lin looked dignified and delicate, and her age looked no more than thirty years old, but her expression was strict, she did not smile, and she didn't even dare to talk more with Daiyu and Baochai. However, although this Mama Lin doesn't look close, the arranged accommodation is quite spacious and quite comfortable, and she lives in the right hall of Changle Palace, very close to the main hall, and the two still live next to each other in two rooms, and other matters have been arranged.
Before leaving, this Mama Lin said with a straight face: "I know that Lin Cairen and Xue Zanshan were originally pampered by the family, but since they have entered the palace, then for all the masters in the palace, whether they are female officials or not, they are just serving the masters, and any one in the palace is not simple, and please ask the two female officials to abide by their duties and be loyal to the princess, as long as the two recognize their identities, be loyal to the princess, and do things according to the rules, Princess Anrou is a kind person, and naturally she will not treat the two badly, and there will be benefits for the two in the future, But if the two of you think about something that you don't have, and you collide with someone, go to a place you shouldn't go, and do something out of the ordinary, Mama, I will say in front, even if the princess is kind, I won't watch the princess suffer, and the queen won't watch the princess suffer. After saying a paragraph, Mama Lin stared at the two of them without blinking.
Xue Baochai had mixed feelings in his heart, knowing that this was beating, his face was silent, he glanced at Mama Lin, bowed his head slightly, and replied respectfully: "Yes, Baochai remembers." ”
Mama Lin glanced at Xue Baochai, who was indifferent, and didn't say anything, and looked at Daiyu again.
Lin Daiyu blinked and asked curiously, "Mama, which ones are there or not?" What are the places not to go? Who should not collide? What counts as something out of the ordinary? Also, who are the people in the palace who are not simple? Where is the simplicity? Mama, can you tell me? ”
Mama Lin: ""
It's the first time that Mama Lin has met such a thorough question, I'm beating a girl, where does anyone ask this.
Baochai was busy playing the round: "Mama still has things to do, where is the time to answer your questions, don't delay Mama." As he spoke, he pulled Daiyu and smiled at Mama Lin, "Mama don't worry, my sister has this kind of character, but she has a good heart." He went up and secretly stuffed a purse into her.
Mama Lin didn't answer, but said: "Then I hope Lin Cairen will change his temperament, I still have something to do, so I won't bother the two." With that, he retired.
Baochai watched Mama Lin leave, and looked at Daiyu with some concern: "Sister, don't take it to heart, although this Mama is not polite, there should be no malicious intent." It's just that my sister won't ask so much next time, Mama Lin was beating us with what she said before. ”
Lin Daiyu smiled and shook her head: "I didn't take it to heart, I can feel it, Mama Lin is not a bad person, or" Lin Daiyu tilted her head and smiled mischievously, "I did it on purpose, Mama Lin has a face, how bad is this, she looks very beautiful, I just want to see if I can make her change her expression." ”
Xue Baochai: ""
Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai each went back to the house, there was nothing to clean up in the house, and they put away the few clothes they brought, and they were finished. After cleaning up, Biqiu went out to serve water, Lin Daiyu, who had nothing to do, was a little bored and lay lazily on the bed, but after a while, Biqiu walked in lightly with the basin of water, put the basin on the shelf, turned around and closed the door, and looked back at Daiyu mysteriously, with a thief-hearted expression.
Lin Daiyu: ""
Lin Daiyu suddenly turned over and jumped out of bed, walked forward and circled around Biqiu, clasped her hands on her chest, and squinted at her: "Say, what are you doing?" ”
Biqiu hurriedly covered Daiyu's mouth, put her index finger to her lips, and said in a low voice, "Miss, you be soft." As he spoke, he sneakily glanced at the doors and windows, and saw that they were all tightly closed, so he stretched out his left hand that had been firmly clenched, only to see a, well, Daiyu took the unknown straw creature in Biqiu's hand that was deformed by her to the eyes, and looked carefully, well, it should be a cockroach?
Biqiu also saw the shape of the thing in her hand clearly, and couldn't help but exclaim, and hurriedly covered her mouth again, looking disgusted.
Lin Daiyu squinted: "You have taken it all the way back, and now it's too late, not to mention it's not true." ”
Biqiu rubbed her hand against her clothes, crying and mourning: "It's not really disgusting, I didn't see it clearly, when a eunuch walked past me, he suddenly stuffed it to me, I was nervous at the time, and I glanced at the straw grasshopper that Miss received last time, so I quickly held it in my hand, and I didn't have time to look at it carefully." ”
Lin Daiyu shook her head and looked at the cockroach carefully, but found that there seemed to be a piece of paper stuffed in the cockroach's stomach, and while taking out the paper, she asked, "No one noticed, right?" ”
Biqiu smiled confidently: "Who am I, of course not, I didn't even change my face at that time, I just walked back like no one." ”
Lin Daiyu glanced at her approvingly, and finally pulled out the note, only to see that it was written "See you in Yu'an Palace tonight", and also drew a simple map to mark the location of Yu'an Palace, and on the reverse side there were the patrol routes and shift change times of the guards.
Lin Daiyu touched her chin thoughtfully.
Biqiu read the words on the paper, and was very worried about what her young lady would do, and worried: "Miss, didn't Mama Lin say it just now, you can't do anything out of the ordinary, you can't walk around."
Lin Daiyu patted Biqiu on the shoulder and interrupted her unfinished words, the two brothers hugged each other as if they were hugging her, and said earnestly: "Biqiu, you have to understand one thing, as long as you haven't been caught, that is, you haven't done it." ”
