Even though Lin Qingyun was full of doubts, she didn't care about asking for a while, changed her clothes as quickly as possible, and went to the palace with Daiyu by car.

It wasn't until I got in the car that I learned from Lin Ruhaikou that the reason for the incident was related to the lantern feast on the day of the Shangyuan Festival, and everyone knew the true purpose of the Lantern Festival that day. For example, the lantern banquet is an audition, so today is the second election, and the queen will personally meet such girls one by one. As for why Lin Qingyun was summoned, it was just incidental, the girls from other families who were unable to participate in the lantern banquet due to illness or various other problems also entered the palace with their own sisters, which was a grace from the palace.

It turned out that he was a chaperone.

Lin Qingyun relaxed slightly, and when she saw that Daiyu was nervous, she deliberately teased her: "My sister is just eleven years old this year, what are you afraid of, if you are afraid, it should be the third girl of the Zhuang family." ”

Daiyu's heart was relieved when she heard this, and she glared at her with disgust, and she couldn't hold it back and smiled: "Sister really loves to make fun of people!" But my sister said it wrong, Sister Shiyu is not worried, her family matter has been decided a year ago, it is said that the third son of the Yang family in the Ministry of Rites, three years older than Sister Shiyu, is now studying in Guozijian, and the two families have agreed to get married after the township test next year. ”

Lin Qingyun calculated in his heart, Zhuang Shiyu is fifteen, and the third son of Yang is eighteen. Look at the door again, the foundation of the dealer is still there, only the outside looks much worse than before, the old lady of the dealer is not there, although the dealer is not separated, it can be said that his father is only the seventh product of the Hanlin Academy, but the Ministry of Rites Langzhong is the fifth grade.

Thinking about it, Lin Qingyun asked: "Then the Yang family got engaged to the dealer early, and the two families have already had contacts?" The third girl is the girl in the second room, and her father's official position is not as good as the Yang family, so why did the Yang family take a fancy to the third girl? What's more, before last year's lunar month, the dealers were still in southern Yunnan. ”

"I asked my father too." Daiyu was the news she overheard from Zhuang Shixiang's mouth, and after she came back, she asked Lin Ruhai because of her doubts. The two of them were married when they were young. At that time, the dealer was still in the capital, and the second master of the dealer and Yang Langzhong were also on duty in the Hanlin Academy, which coincided with the birth of Sister Shiyu, and the two of them joked about this family affair after drinking. At that time, Yang Sangongzi was only three years old, and he was a descendant, and he was very loved by Yang Langzhong, but at that time, this family business was the Yang family's high climb. After many years, the Zhuang family did not expect the Yang family to suddenly send someone to discuss the two family affairs, not to mention that the third son of Yang is young and motivated, but the Zhuang family is not as good as before, and even at that time there was no will to enter Beijing, so it can be seen that the sincerity and family style of the Yang family, Sister Shiyu will not be greatly wronged when she goes to the Yang family. Later, the dealer entered Beijing, and this family business was better. ”

"The next time I see the third girl, I must say congratulations." The ancients generally did not divide the family, since Yang Gongzi was three, Zhuang Shiyu must not care about the family when he married, if others may be unhappy, but Zhuang Shiyu has a quiet temperament, if it is given to her, she will be able to do a good job, and if she is not given it, she can also deal with it indifferently, so there is no need to worry about her going to the life of the Yang family.

What's more, the Yang family is so promised, the rules must be strict, and the third son of Yang is a scholar, maybe he can really get along with husband and wife.

After entering the palace, Lin Ruhai explained some rules, and the two grandmothers accompanied them to Fengyi Palace. At the palace gate of Fengyi Palace, I happened to see a palace maid sending two official ladies out with faces, and they bowed their heads to each other, and Qingyun and the two were led in.

The huge palace room was silent, and only their own footsteps could be heard, which was invisibly nerve-wracking.

"Back to the queen, the two girls of Lin Shangshu's family have arrived."

"The courtiers knock on the queen, and the queen is blessed with gold." Regarding the etiquette in the palace, the grandmothers have taught, Lin Qingyun and Daiyu made a big bow to worship, and they didn't dare to get up after the ceremony, just waiting for the queen mother above to speak.

"No courtesy." The queen got up early in the morning to see a lot of official ladies, and she was a little tired, and now the main lord finally appeared, and she couldn't help but look at it.

Qingyun and Daiyu got up, and after the sound of the queen's mother's seat, they sat down on the two carved round stools that had been prepared on one side for a long time. The two sat in an upright and elegant posture, even if they did not sit opposite the queen, they still lowered their eyes slightly to show the rules. Qingyun is two years older than Daiyu, half a head taller, plus slender, calm bearing, seems to be fourteen or fifteen years old, although her appearance is not as good as Daiyu's charming posture, but it is not good, just like the cold moon in the bamboo forest, the cold plum in the snow, that temperament is admirable.

The queen admired in her heart: This Lin Qingyun is really extraordinary, no wonder it can make Lin Ruhai think that the righteous daughter is very loved, but it is a pity that she was born.

The queen already had a plan in her heart, and the conversation with the two was nothing special, so she asked as usual before, gave a reward, and ordered the palace people to send the two out.

That night, the emperor came, and the emperor and queen sent the palace people to talk in private.

The emperor asked about Lin Qingyun.

The queen smiled and praised: "If you don't see it with your own eyes, the concubine will definitely not believe it." So Lin Qingyun is really from the countryside? She has only been in the Lin family for a few years, but at most two years, she is more generous than many daughters of big families. Although it is difficult to say much, the concubine also asked her a few words, and it is difficult to answer decently, which is strange and liking. ”

"Does the queen really like her so much?" The emperor rarely heard the empress praise people so much, and there was speculation for a while.

The queen didn't hide it, and sighed with a lonely expression: "The concubine's heart doesn't matter, Your Majesty knows it, I'm just worried about You'an." I looked at Miss Lin, it was rare to have a relationship with You'an, so I thought about pointing her out to You'an. What does 陛xià think? ”

The emperor frowned slightly, as if thinking of something, and asked rhetorically for a while: "What title does the queen want to give?" ”

The queen had already decided, but looking at his abnormal behavior just now, decades of getting along with husband and wife made the queen temporarily change her words: "If it weren't for her birth being too low, with such a character, being a side concubine would also make it." The concubine had never asked You'an, and wanted to ask His Majesty for an idea first. ”

"You ask You'an what he means first, anyway, after so many years, you have to pick one that suits his heart." The emperor did not give a clear meaning, and said: "Lin Qingyun is Lin Ruhai's righteous daughter on the surface, but in fact she is no different from her adopted daughter, I have to ask Lin Ruhai what she means about this." ”

"What His Majesty said is reasonable." Although she had a smile on her face, the queen was really surprised in her heart, and she couldn't imagine that a Lin Qingyun would make the emperor pay so much attention. Is it because of Lin Ruhai's relationship, or does Lin Qingyun really have any secrets?

In fact, the emperor did care about Lin Ruhai, Lin Ruhai is a hero, and he is also a capable minister, and the emperor wants to be reused. Again, Lin Qingyun's family was ruined because of the Zhen family, and the Zhen family was already on the emperor's list to be slaughtered, and the tragedy of the Lin family was a good breakthrough at that time. Of course, the emperor also took into account Tu Yan's temperament, and if he didn't get Tu Yan's consent and give him a marriage, something might happen. Tu Yan is the emperor's only son-in-law, and because of the poisoning back then, he loves Tu Yan a lot, even if there is a young prince in the palace later, it still can't be compared.

Thinking of Tu Yan's body, the emperor suddenly said, "Do you think You'an's matter has anything to do with Lin Qingyun?" ”

"This, the concubine doesn't know." The queen thought about it seriously and said frankly: "The concubine really can't see that the Lin family girl is so capable, and besides, is it a thirteen-year-old girl, who really saved Prince Chun and can be so calm?" Even if you don't know You'an's identity, it is impossible to be so silent, and the concubine really doesn't look like it. ”

The emperor nodded noncommittally, said that there was an excerpt to be approved, and got up and went to the imperial study.

The Emperor paced back and forth in his study, and although he had the same thoughts as the Empress, he was shocked by an unexpected discovery. I still remember that Lin Ruhai's wife died five years ago, and he sent his only daughter to the old lady of Rongguo Mansion to raise him. At that time, the task he assigned to Lin Ruhai was indeed dangerous, and he had learned more than once that Lin Ruhai's body was badly damaged, and he asked for medical treatment several times, but not long after Lin Qingyun arrived at Lin's house, Lin Ruhai actually recovered, and now he not only has no disease, but also has a ruddy complexion and good spirit, which is much stronger than ordinary people. Lin Ruhai's concubine is said to have congenital deficiencies since birth, has been sick and crooked, has been sick and crooked, has been taking medicine all the year round, and has a not very good reputation when she lives in Rongguo Mansion, all of which are related to her weak body, but not long after she returned to the Lin family, she gradually recovered from her stubborn illness for many years, like a healthy little girl who has never been sick.

The emperor's eyes were suddenly sharp, his index finger tapped on the table, and Dai Quan was called to order: "Go to Fengyi Palace to tell Empress Sù, Master Lichen's only apprentice will arrive in the capital in a few days, and place an order at the Guanyin Temple outside the city." It is said that Master Lichen is very good at deducing the number of innate gods, and her apprentice must have done his best to pass it on, so he just asked her to calculate the marriage for Prince Chun. ”

The emperor just wanted to see if Lin Qingyun was born with blessings, or if he really had secrets, maybe the female apprentice of the famous master of Lichen could solve his doubts.

Dai Quan relayed the emperor's words to the empress word for word.

The queen was suspicious when she heard this, but the name of Master Lichen did make her heart move, not to ask for marriage for You'an, but to ...... Longevity! The queen did not want to believe that her son really had only a short life span of twenty-five. Although it is not Master Chen, but the master passed away two years ago, only a female apprentice has always been closed to the Buddha, and finally the other party came to the capital, and it is really unwilling not to see the previous side.

The people kept an eye on the movements of the Guanyin Temple, and sure enough, they got the accurate news five days later.

Although it is possible to pass on the decree to order the other party to enter the palace, but after weighing it in many ways, the queen invited the will to go out of the palace and enter the incense, and did not make a big fuss, but the light car Jane came out of the palace, except for the palace maid and eunuch and the guards, only one more car followed, and the one sitting in the car was in vain.

Although the queen said that she was going to incense to pray for blessings, Tu Yan knew it, after all, he also knew the news that Master Chen's female apprentice had arrived at Guanyin Temple. In vain, he pretended to be unaware, and his heart was not shocked, even if there was, it was just a trace of sadness.

Tu Yan has traveled abroad since he left the palace and built the mansion, even if the itinerary is extremely slow due to physical reasons, but he has also traveled a lot of places in the past four or five years. When he traveled to the Gusu area, he went to Panxiang Temple, not only saw the female apprentice, but also met Master Chen himself, and even begged the other party to calculate the life span for himself. At that time, Master Lichen did not speak for a long time after calculating, until he pleaded ruthlessly, and then sighed: he was sick, had no wife and no children, and could not live to be a weak crown.

This year is the year of the weak crown, and he almost died on the night of the Shangyuan Festival, who knows if he will have good luck next time.

Although the queen did not make a big fuss, she sent someone to the Guanyin Temple one step earlier to inform the host and clean up the resting place. The queen did not want to publicize, so did not alarm other pilgrims, fortunately today is not the fifteenth day of the new year, there are not many pilgrims in the temple, the queen and others came in disguise, looking at the female relatives of a large family, the pilgrims looked at it but discussed two sentences.

"The poor nun is polite, please in the benefactor." The presiding officer of Guanyin Temple, Master Xuanjing, greeted him at the gate of the temple.

The queen held the tattooed hand and asked as she walked inside, "Is there anyone I want to see?" ”

"Miaoyu is waiting in the clean room, but it's just ......" Master Xuanjing was embarrassed: "This Miaoyu said that he only studied Buddhism with Master Chen, and he didn't know how to deduce the innate gods, so I'm afraid that he will disappoint the donor." ”

"I have admired Master Chen for a long time, but unfortunately the master has passed away, and I have no chance to see her, she is the only disciple of the master, that is, I can listen to the things of the master before his death, and this trip is also complete." The queen was not shaken by Xuan Jing's words.

Tu Yan followed behind, not reacting to Xuan Jing's words, but remembering Na Miaoyu's temperament......

"The queen mother, I won't go in as a foreign man." There are no outsiders here, Tu Yan is not afraid of being heard like this, besides, he really doesn't want to see Miaoyu's cold and arrogant face, as if no one in the world is in her eyes, that kind of temperament meets a calm heart, but anyone who has a little temper is afraid that he will be annoyed.

This time, Miaoyu went to Beijing alone, and I am afraid that she will not be able to stay in Panxiang Temple, after all, "the same suspicion of the clean world".

"There are so many things about the monks, and besides, you don't have to go in, just wait for me outside the door." However, how could the queen let him go, she came for him.

Tu Yan had to follow.

The host had already cleaned up a quiet small courtyard, and the guards dressed as guards guarded the courtyard inside and out, and the palace people rearranged the house. At this time, the door of a room in the middle was open, and Miaoyu, dressed in a paddy field coat with a cold and arrogant expression, stood in front of the door, holding a whisk in her hand and making a rite of ordination.

The queen has read countless people, and naturally saw Miaoyu's temperament at a glance, but she still praised it, she looked good, but she was too cold and arrogant, and it was also in line with the temperament of the monks, so she was not displeased.

Miaoyu also caught a glimpse of Tu Yan, and was slightly stunned, only then did she know the identity of the comer.

Earlier, the host only said that the nobles in the palace were guesses, and he didn't dare to assert them, but he saw that he was clear. Three years ago, she met Tu Yan, and the master calculated for her, and after Tu Yan left, the master told her the identity of Tu Yan. I really didn't expect to see it again, and if I followed Master's dying words, I really wouldn't see you again.

As soon as the queen sat down, she didn't have the heart to go around, and said bluntly: "Master Lichen is the best at deducing the number of innate gods, and Master Miaoyu is the only disciple of the master. ”

Miaoyu's eyes moved, and she opened her mouth and said, "Don't you know that the queen doesn't know that my master personally deduced it for Prince Chun three years ago. ”

The queen was shocked, and she was just guessed out of her identity, but she didn't expect the content of her words. The queen hurriedly turned her head to look outside the door for verification: "You'an?!" ”
