Ninety-eighth
So after the Shangyuan Festival, when the court meeting was held on the sixteenth day of the first month, the book that invited the Son of Heaven to draft the harem and the wedding of the two county kings flew to Emperor Linde's imperial case like snowflakes.
Empress Dowager Sun looked through them one by one, and when she turned to the end, she saw that these folds were all written in the words that she didn't want to see, so angry that she swept all the folds on the case to the ground, and scolded: "These bullshit ministers, one by one, are jumping up and down here, just afraid that the world will not be chaotic!" β
Her son, Emperor Lin De, had already given up his own imperial case to deal with government affairs to his mother, and at this time he was leaning on the couch, holding a glass of spirits in his hand, and said calmly: "What is wrong with what the ministers said in this book? Originally, the imperial heir was the country's capital, and it was the top priority, Xiao Qi would definitely not be able to be the prince, and they asked the royal family to make plans early, which was their duty. β
"What's the responsibility? Then they will invite you to the draft, and what are you doing to bring out the marriage of those two boys. It's as if my step-grandmother abused their two grandchildren and never gave them a wife. β
Emperor Lin Dedi glanced at his mother and said lightly: "Mother is wrong, you are not their step-grandmother, but just a grandmother, as for whether I hope that they will marry as soon as possible, and whether you deliberately press them, my mother knows in her heart." β
Empress Dowager Sun saw that her son was ruthless and exposed her thoughts, especially when she was stabbed in the sore spot by the word "Shu", she was so angry that she grabbed a teacup on the case and threw it on the ground, scolding: "Are you my own son, exposing my mother's shortcomings every day, if I am a concubine, my name is not right, then what about you?" β
Emperor Lin De said: "I shouldn't have sat in this seat in the first place, if I wasn't your own son, how could I let you-" When he said this, he felt a pain in his heart, and he couldn't say any more, so he drank the liquor in the cup in one gulp and coughed.
Empress Dowager Sun didn't want to touch on this topic anymore, and seeing that her mind had been seen through by her son, she no longer pretended to be, and directly told her son: "Yes, I don't want those two boys to get married early, so that they can give birth to sons, at least I have to wait for your husband to come up with a prince who can inherit the throne before they can get married." β
"Since we have finally sat in this seat, we naturally have to take a good look at this dragon chair, but we can't ask anyone to take it away. One of the two boys in Hengzhi is frail, the other has a hidden disease, and it is for their good to get married two years later, but it is the top priority for you to give me another grandson, who will you announce tonight? β
A hint of mockery flashed in Emperor Linde's eyes, and he sneered: "No matter who comes to serve the bed, it's the same, no matter how beautiful a woman is, a young and gorgeous woman, her son can't let them get pregnant anymore, and her son also has this hidden disease, doesn't the mother know?" β
Thinking of her son's inaction, Empress Dowager Sun became more and more panicked, and she screamed: "Haven't you invited so many imperial doctors, as well as various folk miracle doctors to see you, you have been taking medicine for more than a year, and there is no improvement at all?" β
"No, you still have to be drafted, you haven't had a draft for six years, it must be that these concubines in the palace are old, not beautiful enough, can't move your body, you don't want them, my mother will choose some more beautiful women for you to enter the palace, more beautiful than Xue Mei, my mother will no longer force you to only visit the women of the Sun family, as long as it is your fancy, no matter whose family it is, as long as she can give birth to a son for you!"
Emperor Lin Dedi showed a sarcastic smile on his face, "Mother is not afraid to let the concubines of other families give birth to sons now?" If you knew this was the case, why bother in the first place! β
Empress Dowager Sun had long regretted it in her heart, and she had taken too much precautions that day, so she sighed and said, "You still suspect that Xiao Wu and Xiao Liu died because I ordered someone to do something?" I told you earlier, in the early days, I was afraid that other concubines would give birth to the emperor's heirs, so I gave them some medicine, but later I saw that your heirs were difficult, as long as they could give birth, no matter what her surname was, the son would be given to me after birth. β
"Besides, you will have those two sons at that time, if you don't have them, what will happen to your throne, no matter how vicious my own grandmother is, she won't do anything to them, it's too late for me to hold them in my hands and feel distressed! But who would have thought that they would still ......" When Empress Dowager Sun said this, she couldn't help but shed two tears, and became sad, if her two grandchildren could live until now, what else would she have to worry about!
"I still died early!" What she didn't say, her son said it for her, but there was no sadness in his tone, as if resigned to his fate, he continued: "I know that my mother didn't do it, because this is what my life should be, and they shouldn't be reincarnated as my son, my mother's grandson!" β
Empress Dowager Sun suddenly trembled, and said in a trembling voice: "What do you mean by this, why should they not be reincarnated as my grandson?" What is your life supposed to be?"
"Mother forgot, isn't it the oath you made that day? How did you swear to my mother-in-law, Empress Xiaoci, that even if you gave birth to a son, you would never hinder the two princes who came out of your son, otherwise, you would let your son have no children and no daughters in the future, and cut off children and grandchildren! You yourself will not die well, and you will go to eighteen layers of hell after death! β
Empress Dowager Sun suddenly swept everything on the case to the ground and screamed: "Nonsense, it's all nonsense!" It is extremely difficult for children to raise in the first place, but it is just a coincidence, and all the oaths and things can't be counted......" and suddenly rushed to Emperor Lin De, stared at him and said: "How did you know, you were not born at that time, how did you know?" Say, which slut sued you, see if I don't pull out his tongue and pull out his tendons! β
Emperor Lin Dedi didn't want to look at his mother's somewhat distorted face anymore, he looked down at the empty wine glass, and said, "Didn't Mother say that this is all nonsense, just think that the son is also talking nonsense." β
Empress Dowager Sun looked at her son's calm face, and the energy in her heart suddenly dissipated, and she also sat down on the couch a little depressed, panting heavily.
Emperor Lin De looked coldly at his mother's old state, and he inexplicably felt a sense of happiness, and he asked again: "What about the marriage between King Yingchuan and King Linchuan?" β
When Empress Dowager Sun saw that her son was going to mention the marriage of these two people to her, she was so angry that she slapped her hands on the couch and shouted: "Didn't you hear what I just said, no, no, no, no!" You didn't give birth to a son, and none of them wanted to have a wife! Maybe the two of them deliberately made it on the first day of the first lunar month, otherwise Jue'er fell asleep in his room in Ciqing Palace, and more than a dozen people looked at him, why did he suddenly disappear, and suddenly ran to Hanyuan Hall dressed neatly? Someone must be playing tricks here! β
"Didn't my mother already order someone to investigate, but can I find out who is doing the ghost?"
As soon as she mentioned this Empress Dowager Sun, she was even more annoyed and afraid, she checked for half a month, but she couldn't find any clues. She said viciously: "Those wine bags and rice bags will only blame each other, and when I find out who made it, see if I don't skin him!" β
"Since it hasn't been found out yet, how can my mother put this charge on my two nephews? Mother has blocked their marriage for so many years, and seeing that they are both twenty-one this year, do you want them to continue to fight singles? β
"This palace is also for their good, that King Yingchuan has been weak and sick since he was a child, and he is not a long-lived person, if he becomes a relative early and has a woman, I am afraid that he will not live for a few years!"
"What about that Fei'er, since you have done such a thing to him back then, and you are afraid that he will not be able to get married, even if he marries the princessβ"
When Emperor Lin Dedi said this, he suddenly coughed again, and when he spoke again, he didn't continue to speak, but changed to a slightly apologetic and distressed tone and said: "Fei'er has a strange personality and a strong temper when she was a child, and after that incident, he ran out of the capital in a fit of anger and wandered outside alone for two years!" It's easy to go back to Beijing three years ago, and he also gets into trouble all day long, all because no one who knows cold and hot loves him. Even if the mother and Min'er are not close, but Fei'er is also your nephew's daughter, and I also call you an aunt, I have to marry him a virtuous princess to take care of his diet and daily life! and his Linchuan Palace, because there is no hostess to take care of it, what is the chaos it has become! β
"Why is there no mistress in the Linchuan Palace, isn't there still a Linchuan princess?" Empress Dowager Sun was a little unconfident.
As soon as Emperor Lin De heard that his cousin was angry, he put the empty wine glass in his hand on a few sides, and sneered: "Princess Linchuan? I'm afraid the queen mother doesn't know that people outside now call this Linchuan princess Duchess Chengen! I don't live in the palace of Nuoda, and I live with my uncle Chengen Gong in the hot spring village outside the city, there is such a biological mother who doesn't care about human ethics, no wonder Fei'er wants to make trouble every day to vent her anger! β
Empress Dowager Sun also knows about the ugly things of her brother and niece, but among these high-ranking families in the capital, there are not one or two such ugly things, she has said a few times, seeing that her brother is not the right thing, forget it, as long as it is not a threat to her son's throne, it doesn't matter in her opinion.
It's just that her son made it clear to her that this was a chaotic wheel, which made her a little embarrassed, she coughed, simply bypassed this embarrassment, and said, "Why don't I want to choose a princess for Fei'er?" As early as when he first returned to the capital, I mentioned this to him, and his mother also told him, but this kid was good, he refused to live or die, and told me that his third brother was not married yet, and he couldn't mess up the order of the eldest and youngest! β
"I see, he didn't want to get married at all, so he took his third brother out as a shield, and I never saw him respect his third brother Yingchuan so much on weekdays. After all, his body, marrying the princess is also delaying others! β
Emperor Lin De suddenly got up from the couch, sat down behind the imperial case again, and said while slowly sorting out the twists and turns on the case: "It is the blessing of that woman to be able to marry into the royal family as the princess of the county, how can it be said that it is delayed?" Since these two nephews of mine have a deep brotherly relationship, let's just do the happy event for them together! If the mother still doesn't want them to get married, then there is no need to give her son a draft, and the son will not call any concubines to sleep in the future, let alone drink those bitter pills! β
"You ββ!" Seeing that her son was determined to do the major events in his life for his two nephews this time, and even did not hesitate to threaten himself as a mother, Empress Dowager Sun was simply trembling with anger.
It was easy to take a few deep breaths and suppress the anger in her heart, and then the Empress Dowager Sun said slowly: "Since you, who are uncles, love their two nephews so much, then it's up to you, but marrying a wife and having children is a major event in life, since it is mine, it will take them a long time before they can get married, so I naturally have to compensate them for it, and choose a virtuous and virtuous and perfect woman to be the princess." β
How did Emperor Lin De not know the calculations in his mother's belly, and said coldly: "Mother should want to choose two more princesses from the girls of your Sun family, right?" The Sun family already has a queen mother, an imperial concubine, a virtuous concubine, and a lady concubine in this palace, do you want to add two more princesses surnamed Sun? β
Empress Dowager Sun saw that there was already anger in her son's eyes, and hurriedly said: "Naturally not, I just thought, when I give you a draft in March, by the way, I will also choose a woman with good character for the two of them to be the princess, how about it?" β
Since this matter can't be stopped, then she might as well make plans as soon as possible, even if she doesn't let her grandson family have two more princesses, she will have to put more effort into choosing a "happy" princess for her two grandsons.
