Chapters 11-12
Chapter XI
Shao Liniang still remembers the moment when she first saw the emperor, the feelings belonging to the girl spread, looking at the tall, handsome and calm and majestic man in front of her, Shao Liniang thought, from now on he will be my husband, my God.
At the beginning of entering the palace, Shao Liniang was just a talented person with five grades. However, Shao Liniang is not afraid, she has a Shangshu grandfather and a cousin who accompanies the king, no matter how you look at it, she has capital. Before she had no children, a woman who entered the palace relied on her relatives in addition to herself. Those who can enter the palace are not blessed or expensive. Shao Liniang's age is not young, she is older than others not only in age, but also in experience. At home, even her father and grandfather taught her a lot. It is important for a woman to follow three virtues and four virtues, but it is even more essential to judge the situation. Especially the women who entered the palace, this palace looks full of flowers, but it is full of dangers. Living in the palace can be described as frightening every step.
Shao Liniang is very beautiful, a kind of flamboyant beauty, however, although the queen mother does not like it, the queen mother likes it. Most of the flamboyant women are straightforward. The Queen Mother is very disgusted with women like the soft and weak White Lotus Petite Rabbit. When women like that look at you, you feel like you're bullying them. Looking at them, you want to vomit except for nausea.
Shao Liniang has the title of the first beauty in Gyeonggi, this title is still said by an elder of the imperial family, when the old lady saw Shao Liniang's beautiful face, and the blooming peonies on the side complemented each other, so she said: "I think Liniang deserves to be the first beauty in Gyeonggi." Then the word spread. Shao Liniang's already good market is going all the way up. After all, everyone has a love for beauty!
Shao Liniang always thought that she had been favored by the emperor because of the praise of the first beauty in Gyeonggi and her own ability. But reality poured cold water on her.
When he saw Shao Liniang for the first time, the emperor said: "Isn't it very similar?!" ”
That was Shao Liniang, who didn't know anything, and when she heard the words, she only smiled and asked, "I don't know what Your Majesty is talking about?" "Why can't I understand?
"Your name is Li Niang?"
"Back to Your Majesty, the concubine's name is Shao Liniang, and the concubine's name is still given by her grandfather."
"Shao Qing also mentioned you to me."
Shao Liniang paused, and immediately said happily: "My brother also mentioned concubines to His Majesty?" ”
"Yes! Shao Qing said that his sister is a well-informed beauty, and whoever marries her will be blessed. ”
"This ...... This kid...... is still so poor in front of His Majesty. If you have the chance, see that I don't beat him. ”
"It turns out that Liniang is a Hedong lion!"
"Ah...... 陛xià...... Majesty xià bullies the concubines! Shao Liniang became shy, and accidentally revealed her true temperament.
"Hahaha......"
Come to think of it, the emperor chose himself at that time, but it was because he was Shao Qing's cousin. What the first beauty in Gyeonggi, but a joke that everyone is also talking about. If someone really likes you, it's not just because of your face.
Many times the truth has told me, but I pity myself for being a blind man with open eyes.
"Liniang's tea here is good, I feel a little special."
Shao Liniang covered her mouth and smiled: "Of course it is special, it is rewarded by His Majesty to his younger brother, and his younger brother is given to his mother, and his mother enters the palace to visit the concubine and brings it to the concubine." ”
"I'll just say it's so familiar."
"His Majesty really loves his brother."
"Shao Qing is very good. It's the best in my eyes. ”
"The concubine praised his younger brother Xie Xià."
Long Yan Dayue, Shao Liniang didn't notice it. And then-
"Today, my brother is crowned. It's an adult. ”
"Yes, I also gave Shao Qing a word."
"Oh?! I don't know what two words Your Majesty is gifting? ”
"Shocking! Shao Qing deserves these two words. ”
"Shocking, shocking! The younger brother is amazing and beautiful, and he deserves these two words. His majesty gave the word, and his younger brother must be very happy. ”
Although the emperor smiled and did not speak, he looked like he was in his chest.
"The day before yesterday, my mother entered the palace and said that many girls from families had told her concubines, and the concubines were dazzled when they read the booklet given by their mothers. The younger brother has been crowned, and he is not young. Auntie is also anxious. The three elders of my brother's family all ran all over the ground. ”
But seeing the emperor's laughter, he paused, frowned, and asked, "Shao Qing is in a hurry?" ”
The concubine didn't look at her brother in a hurry. My younger brother has been an idea since he was a child. Aunt and uncle may not be able to do his master. Even if it is a grandfather, the concubine thinks that it will be able to say it. ”
"Is that so?"
"After all, he is the younger brother of the concubine, and the concubine can't be the master, so she can only care about one or two on the side, help palm the eye, and want to see one or two. His Majesty knows the courtiers best, so it's better to take a look. Just be a little funny. ”
"It's good!" The Emperor thought for a moment and nodded.
As a result, the emperor was picky about the descendants and elders of all families, and in the end, none of them were eye-catching and worthy of Shao Qing.
Shao Liniang was stunned and said, "Your Majesty said this, and the concubine has no idea." ”
"Then don't rush, and then look at each other slowly."
"It's fine." Shao Liniang smiled and said, "It's always a lifetime thing!" ”
The emperor was finally satisfied.
Shao Liniang had a hint of suspicion.
Then, grace was born, Shao Liniang finally became pregnant, and the whole family was overjoyed. Even Shao Bingwen was given the grace to visit his granddaughter once through the curtain. Shao Liniang was also promoted from Jieyu to the position of concubine and given the name Li Concubine. However, this fetus is very unstable and has a big reaction. Shao Liniang's mood is also fluctuating, her worries are getting heavier and heavier, and she is suffering from gains and losses. Only when the emperor is present can she calm down.
The emperor has a lot of opportunities, of course, it is impossible to stay by the side of a concubine, fortunately, Shao Liniang inquired, in addition to dealing with government affairs, the place where the emperor goes is only the queen and the queen mother's palace, and the most is here by himself.
That night, Shao Liniang was particularly uneasy, she always felt that the child in her belly was not guaranteed, and the doctor said that the pregnancy was not good. Shao Liniang knew that this was just a euphemism from the imperial doctor. However, after all, this is his first child, a hard-won child. is most afraid of being old, and Shao Liniang is also afraid.
Shao Liniang infiltrated her henchmen and eunuchs to invite the emperor. Unexpectedly, the confidant eunuch was sent back without even seeing the emperor's face. Shao Liniang was very sad, and soon, due to fetal gas, she had a miscarriage.
Many days later, Shao Liniang knew that on that day, in fact, the emperor could come, but because her younger brother was there. Yes, just because her brother was here, her brother was too sleepy and fell asleep because he accompanied the emperor to review the recitals, and the emperor, because he didn't want to disturb him, ordered the eunuchs on duty to abandon the idle people, etc., and not allow anyone to come near them.
I heard that that night, the emperor did not sleep all night, accompanied her brother who slept soundly.
Shao Liniang sat on the bed paralyzed, for a long time, waved away Gong'e, and then burst into tears.
Why? Why is this the case? Why you?
Chapter XII
Lin Jinyan looked at the two jars of wine without much packaging and was speechless. "Master, you won't just send these two jars of bars!" It's not very expensive, it's a general restaurant, and it is estimated that it is mixed with water.
"Huh?! That's not enough! Xuan Qingzi felt that he was already very generous, but he paid for it himself, and he didn't spend a single apprentice.
Lin Jinyan held his forehead, his master was really picking. People are rejuvenating the country, even if it is your old friend, you are too perfunctory. Lin Jinyan began to consider whether he should follow. He felt that it would be a shame to go. Although the courtesy is light and affectionate, you should not be light!
"What about you?" Gen Zhenzi didn't feel that she was wrong.
"What is the best restaurant in Gyeonggi?" Lin Jinyan asked.
"Drunken Immortal Building." Xuan Zhenzi replied.
"What is the best wine in Drunken Immortal Building?" Lin Jinyan continued to ask.
"Cyclamen." Xuan Zhenzi answered honestly.
"Okay, let's go to the Drunken Immortal Mansion to buy two good cyclamen on the altar, and then go to the Guogong Mansion."
"Oh! What about these two altars? ”
"Thrown."
"Don't you?!" This is also bought by money.
"Okay, you go to the Guogong Mansion alone. Choose one of the two. "Gesture, Lin Jinyan is about to go back to the inn.
"Then let's throw it away!" Xuan Zhenzi hurriedly grabbed his apprentice.
Coming out of the Drunken Immortal Tower, Xuan Zhenzi began to be reluctant to let the cyclamen in his hand come. Lin Jinyan knew what he was thinking when he saw Xuan Zhenzi's expression, but he could only act as if he didn't see it, who let him choose a teacher carelessly!
"After visiting Xingguo Gong, we will come to Zuixianlou again, anyway, this cyclamen will not come without it."
Hearing this, Xuan Zhenzi was overjoyed, and said that he wanted to hug his apprentice, along with two jars of wine.
"Sincerely, good apprentice!"
Lin Jinyan wittily dodged away, looking disgusted.
Along the way, Xuan Zhenzi chattered all the way, and Lin Jinyan was annoyed. Xuan Zhenzi babbled back and forth, or those few sentences. Xuan Zhenzi said that he would have three apprentices in his life. The first apprentice, that is, Lin Jinyan's senior brother, is the amazing and brilliant Shao Qing Shao Jinghong, who played against the king in front of the Qiankun Palace in the past. It's a pity that God is jealous of talents, and not long after being crowned, Shao Qing passed away. The second apprentice is Lin Jinyan, who wanted Xuan Zhenzi to go to Jiangnan to play, but because he was shy, he relied on the Lin family in Jiangnan, the head of the Lin family was quite generous, and Xuan Zhenzi wanted to eat and drink. Xuan Zhenzi saw that Lin Jinyan looked very good with red lips and white teeth, and the Lin family was rich, so he accepted Lin Jinyan as an apprentice under the banner of fate. Before coming to Gyeonggi this time, it is said that Hyun Jinzi used a turtle shell and copper coins to make a divination, saying that his closed disciple was in Gyeonggi. Of course, Lin Jinyan felt that this was purely Xuan Zhenzi's excuse. If the apprentice is not found, Xuan Zhenzi will definitely say that the time has not come.
Although Lin Jinyan is not very old, he can always see the essence of his master through appearances.
Lin Jinyan is good-looking, and he knows it himself. When he was in Guanli, the little sister loved to rub around him when he was fine, and the senior sister also wrote love letters to him. But he himself didn't care much, and he preferred swords to beauties. Gen Zhenzi always felt that he had no interest. Lin Jin was speechless, he was only thirteen years old, what kind of fun did he need, this is what a master should say! His senior brother, whom he had never met, was not led crooked by him, an unreliable master, and must be very talented. It's a pity that I didn't have a chance to see each other.
As the two walked and walked, they saw a circle of people in front of them, Xuan Zhenzi liked to see the excitement the most, and when he saw the excitement, he threw the wine to the apprentice and drilled into the pile. Lin Jinyan is just the opposite, he doesn't like to squeeze into the crowd the most, he has a habit of cleanliness, and he likes white and elegant colors the most in his life.
Xuan Zhenzi took a look at this probe, and really saw an acquaintance coming.
On the way home, Li Shaoqing was curious when he met someone who touched porcelain. Who is this, who is not good, who is not good, and who is his grandfather. Although his grandfather is usually kind, how can people who have been on the battlefield have a killing spirit on their bodies. In addition to his grandmother and him, even his father was a little scared of his grandfather. He wanted to see which stupid one had boldly bumped into him.
Female dependents should not show their faces. Although Li Shaoqing is a man, he is too young, and there is a lot of commotion outside, Li Kaijiang will never allow him to show his face. There was no way, Li Shaoqing had to accompany his grandmother to squat in the car.
Li Kaijiang lifted the curtain, and then looked at the person lying in front of the car, although it was a coarse cloth shirt, it was also clean. According to Li Kaijiang's usual habits, when he encounters such a blackmailer, he must give him two whips first. But this is not a home, let alone a barracks, this is the street, so he had to order someone to carry him to the hospital for treatment. Then make other plans.
As he was about to speak, he heard his name called.
"Yo, isn't this a frontier!"
When I raised my eyes, I was really an acquaintance.
"It turned out to be Xuan Zhen!"
"What's going on?"
"I don't know. I was just about to go home, but someone fell in front of my carriage. ”
"How's that guy?"
"I'm about to order someone to take me to the hospital."
"Well, I'll take a look."
"Then there is Lao Xuanzhen you."
"Be polite to me."
It's okay not to look at it, but when you look at it, you see an acquaintance.
"Isn't this the Wind Kid! Why are you lying in front of the car? ”
"What's wrong? Do you know this man? ”
"Yes, yes."
"That's good,"
Well, the three parties are acquaintances, and the three parties entered the Xingguo Mansion together. Lin Jinyan felt that his master's shit luck had always been good. There are apprentices like him, and old friends like Xingguo Gong. Lin Jinyan entered the Xingguo Mansion and observed carefully all the way, but he didn't sigh much. It is not surprising that the Lin family is rich, and due to the control of the imperial court, some things dare not be framed, but the things that are replaced are even more beautiful. Since everyone else knows that the Lin family is rich, there is no need for them to show their inner beauty.
Xuan Qingzi first showed Ye Lingfeng the injury, and then prescribed a side prescription, Li Kaijiang ordered someone to catch the medicine, and when Ye Lingfeng woke up, boiled it for him to drink, and then, Xuan Qingzi entered the main hall of hospitality. The Zhao family also has several relationships with Xuan Qingzi, and with her identity, she has not shied away.
Zhao was very surprised when he saw Lin Jinyan.
"Yo, whose child is this? Looks so handsome. ”
Xuan Qingzi introduced very proudly: "This is my apprentice Lin Jinyan, this is the Duchess of Xingguo." ”
Lin Jinyan stepped forward to salute, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Okay, this kid is good." Zhao liked Lin Jinyan very much and ordered someone to prepare a table ceremony.
"Xuan Zhen, you will still accept apprentices." Li Kaijiang also likes Lin Jinyan very much. This kid looks like an upright man.
"It's not that I praise myself, in terms of accepting apprentices, who can compare to my Xuan Zhenzi."
Li Shaoqing was speechless, which means that you are fat and gasped. Of course, speechless is speechless, Li Shaoqing still has to say that this Xuan Zhenzi can really accept apprentices. Look at the beauty of this apprentice. Li Shaoqing remembered that he had never seen such a beautiful character. It's even worse when you grow up, it's just a demon! Looking at that appearance, it is definitely enough to be at the level of calamity. Unconsciously, Li Shaoqing thought of Murong Chong, who was known as the phoenix. At the age of thirteen, he fell in love with Fu Jian.
"Lin Jinyan?! But the Lin boy of the Lin family that I know? ”
"Exactly."
"I'll just say, Xuanzhen, how could you choose an unknown person."
"Really?!, I think I'm pretty low-key."
Lin Jinyan was full of black lines. Master, do you know how to write the word low-key! Also, why is the kid on the other side so weird, staring at him all the time, is there something wrong with him?!
Li Shaoqing frowned when he saw Lin Jinyan, thinking-hmm! The beauty frowns and looks good!.
