Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Undercurrent Is Surging

The scenery of the palace is like a painting, but it lives up to the beauty of the palace name. Lin Huangbing wore a lake blue, holding a white jade ruyi in his hand, caressing the white tassel, sitting in front of the vermilion lacquer hollow window pasted with green yarn, quietly looking at the courtyard in front of the window, the yard was full of cloves, at a glance, very beautiful, but with a touch of sadness.

Emperor Ji Xinyuan led Emperor Ji Xinyuan and walked slowly, the exact same outfit made the two Emperor Ji look like twin sisters born in different years, needless to say, the elegance is peerless, and it is "suddenly like a night of spring breeze, thousands of trees and pear blossoms bloom" from afar, which makes people suddenly brightened, and can't help but laugh; It is also "the clouds want to dress and the flowers want to look, and the spring breeze blows Revlon", looking at the pair of imperial sisters who are like immortals, I don't know who they end up in, which makes people infinitely reverie, lest they end up marrying a bad one, which will cause embarrassment.

Lin Huangbing heard the sound of clothes squeezing, turned her head to look, her eyes, which were as deep as the sea that were originally like an undercurrent, suddenly regained her indifferent appearance, she looked at the pair of daughters written in her name with a faint smile, and a sweetness rose in her heart.

"Erchen has seen his mother." Xin Yuan saluted.

The little soft Xinyuan also followed the standard palace ceremony, and the words were clear but could not be separated from the milky voice: "Erchen has seen the concubine." ”

"Good boy," Lin Huangbing stretched out a hand, "Come to the concubine." ”

The two girls hurriedly drilled into Lin Huangbing's arms, Xin Yuan was bigger, moved quickly, and suddenly took the lead, sat on one of Lin Huangbing's legs, wrapped her hands around her mother's waist, and looked at Xin Yuan, who was standing under Lin Huangbing's legs with big eyes and a pouting with a look of grievance: "This is my mother's concubine, you go to find you." ”

Xin Yuan hurriedly said: "This is my mother's concubine, you look for you." ”

Xin Yu hugged Lin Huangbing tightly. Leaned his head on Lin Huang's neck nest: "If you don't believe it, ask the mother who she hurts more." ”

Xinyuan panicked now, she was afraid that Lin Huangbing would say something that didn't like her. So he looked at Lin Huangbing pitifully, but he didn't dare to be intimate with her like Xinyu. For fear that if one is not right, it will be rejected.

Lin Huangbing sighed.

This child is too sensitive, just like she was back then, the same under the fence, the same compromises, the same incomprehensible. She understood that the child was lonely and frightened, and the only lifesaver for this girl now was the titular mother and royal sister.

Lin Huangbing handed Yu Ruyi to Xin Yuan to hold, hugged Xin Yuan to his other leg, took a bite on Xin Yuan's shoulder, and rubbed the tip of Xin Yuan's nose with the tip of his nose. smiled: "Your sister teases you, they are all the children of the mother's concubine, how can the mother's concubine not hurt?" There is no mother in the world who does not love her children, you have no heart. ”

Lin Huangbing pretended to be angry and glared at Xinyu: "You too, the boss is not small, if you are placed in the people, you should say kiss at your age, and you are still so unrighteous and bullying your imperial sister." ”

Xin Yuan is such a smart person, and Lin Huangbing asked the emperor for privileges, raised him by his side since he was a child, and taught him by hand, and he knew at a glance that the mother concubine did not want to make this little sister sad. immediately changed his face, and only poked the little bun face with his finger like a white onion: "Don't cry, the imperial sister scares you to play, who made you small." Without fear, I was beaten by my mother and said, I won't give you any delicious and fun next time. ”

Xin Yuan pointed at Xin Yuan and shouted: "Mother concubine." Sister Huang is bad! ”

Lin Huangbing laughed.

It's so cute, and sure enough, there's nothing wrong with having an extra kid here. Instead, it adds a lot of fun. Why didn't she know to cherish it back then? I lost my sister in vain, and now I can't get my brother back.

Lin Huangbing's eyes froze. It shows a little tiredness. These days have killed the emperor, and Lin Huangbing has been sad for a long time. Although there has never been an emperor in her heart, in the end, the emperor treated her sincerely, some did not, and the emperor gave her the first emperor, although she was pushed to the target, but also achieved the miracle of "three thousand favors in one", the Lin family was able to leap from a rich man in Suzhou to the status of two courtiers of father and son, and Lin Huangbing contributed a lot. However, this also depends on the favor of the emperor; She didn't know where she got the blue eyes of the first emperor who was as cold as ice, she wanted to know, but the first emperor went suddenly, and this problem could only be known when she went underground to follow the emperor a hundred years later.

Xin Yuan saw Lin Huangbing's tired face, so he glanced at Xin Yuan, Xin Yuan was tuned and taught by Xin Yuan, and he was naturally very well-behaved, when he slipped off Lin Huang Bing's legs, and Xin Yuan was together, just wanted to quit, and suddenly a palace maid came in. Xin Yuan knew that this palace maid was the big palace maid and Xiangyu beside His Majesty, so he was not in a hurry to leave, but just stood by and watched.

Xiangyu saluted the three of them: "The slave maid has seen the concubine Niangniang, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, and Her Royal Highness the princess. ”

Lin Huangbing nodded: "Up." ”

Xiangyu got up, although he was neither humble nor arrogant, but a little sweat oozed from his forehead because of Lin Huangbing's majesty. Although Emperor Xinyu had a smile on her face, her eyes were also two knives, which made her feel cold in the back. Rao She was born in Lanhuaxuan Secret Guard, and she has seen a lot of winds and waves with Her Majesty, but she still can't help but be frightened by two powerless women. As for the little one, although I can't see anything now, she looks calm, and she must be an extremely powerful woman when she grows up.

Lin Huangbing looked at her and raised his chin: "What does Your Majesty command?" ”

Xiangyu said with a smile: "When the emperor died, Li Niangniang was not served well, and His Majesty was furious after finding out, and let her go to the cold palace to stay, a few days ago, she gave birth to a plague, and even took the waste concubine to follow, Concubine De has been depressed since she came down from the back seat, and now it is getting worse and worse, and it is estimated that it will be a matter of a few days." His Majesty felt the impermanence of life, and was busy with government affairs at first, but he never thought of the fact that the concubine Niangniang was called the queen mother. His Majesty specially asked the slave maid to send the queen mother's seal, a hairpin ring, and costumes today, and when the time is chosen, they can be canonized. At that time, the two princesses will become princesses, and the share will also be raised. ”

Xiangyu smiled happily, but the three masters opposite seemed to be in an ice cellar, and there was no love at all. Xiangyu's smile couldn't help but be closed.

Xin Yun glanced at Lin Huangbing.

The new emperor is really unscrupulous, the front foot gave birth to a child, and the back foot killed someone. also killed Concubine Shu. Concubine Shu is not to mention Emperor Xinyuan's biological mother, but also the aunt of her aunt. The new emperor and his uncle are still so good, but they are ruthless. Concubine De is certainly hateful. But the son died violently in vain, the daughter-in-law was cut to the city, and the grandson was also exiled to the people, not knowing whether to live or die. She didn't believe that such a vicious cheap worker, the imperial brother would be so kind to enshrine his mother as the queen mother at this cusp of the storm, if he was really so filial, he would be able to do a holy decree on the day of his accession to the throne.

Xin Yuan can think of it. Lin Huangbing had already seen through it, but she didn't refuse, but looked very happy, her thin red lips were slightly upturned, and her plain and cool face showed a brilliant look: "Sue Emperor SΓΉ, the mourning family is very happy." ”

Xiangyu was stunned.

Where is this rejoicing? But to say that she is not happy, but she can't find any traces of dishappiness, which can be described as seamless.

Xiangyu was embarrassed to stay any longer, so he could only sneer: "Since Niangniang knows." The slave and maid don't bother much, everything is left here, if there is a short, please ask the mother to ask at any time. In addition: ι™›xiΓ  commanded. Ask the mother to move to Ningsheng Palace to live, and the guards, eunuchs and slaves are all ready. ”

Lin Huangbing's eyes moved.

knew that he would not let her go so lightly, and the important old men around the emperor were all eliminated. Can she still be at ease? It's just that he worships her as his mother to ascend to the throne, and if he rashly gets rid of her. I'm afraid that the discussion will not stop, and it is not in line with his reputation as "benevolent" outside. Therefore, if you want to suppress the first Yang, first let her be the queen mother according to the agreement, and then arrange her own people inside and outside the Queen Mother's Ningsheng Palace, put her under house arrest and surveillance, firmly grasp the power in her own hands, and wait for her prime years to pass and the power of the DPRK and China almost collapse, and then slowly get rid of it.

Lin Huangbing smiled.

This Song Can is very patient, does he think he will obediently obey? Putting on such a clear display of his purpose, do you really think that you have power and can do whatever you want?!

Lin Huangbing still nodded slightly, but the deep smile in his eyes made Xiangyu uneasyβ€”as if the smile in those eyes was a mockery that saw through it.

Xiangyu said goodbye, Xin Yuan couldn't wait to step forward, frowned, and opened his mouth to scold: "This Song Guicheng, a low, cheap little guy from a horse breeder, once ascended the throne as the emperor, he dared to be ungrateful!" ”

Song Guicheng was Song Can's name when he was not recognized by King Yi, and after he became the prince, he changed his name to "Can" and raised himself several notches from his name. After all, the first prince's name was "Yue", and he was called "Can" to be comparable to him, and it was slightly more domineering than his name.

Lin Huangbing is not as excited as her, she has seen more of this kind of person: "The more lowly people climb to high positions, the more they want to keep their fame and fortune, so they will put on a face for themselves that is suitable for them to be accepted by the world, and the arm is like the new emperor is the skin of 'benevolence', so how can people who know his essence need to stay?" He is unable to resist the idea of getting rid of it, and those who are unable to resist him are allowed to complain and fend for themselves. ”

Xin Yu was still a little resentful: "Pity that Concubine Li, there is nothing." ”

Lin Huangbing smiled: "She thinks she deserves to die, and you don't have to be sad." Her only resentment was against the queen who was pushed out by the new emperor to be the executioner. It's just funny, the queen is infertile, and after the death of the Li family, Song Can did not mean to give this son to the queen, but asked the palace to prepare the palace and welcome the eldest daughter of the Ming family into the palace as a concubine. ”

Xin Yun couldn't help laughing: "Where is the daughter of the Ming family?" It is obvious that the Yan family is pampered and arrogant to provoke Song Guicheng's bottom line, and it is just a matter of finding someone to check and balance her. ”

"Wrong," Lin Huangbing raised her voice, "It's not just her, it's me." ”

Xin Yu was stunned: "It's just a Ming concubine, what can it do?" ”

Lin Huangbing was a little helpless: "Yu'er, wasn't the queen mother also a concubine back then?" Although the position of the concubine is lower than that of the queen, it is not necessarily inferior to the queen. ”

Xin Yun looked at Lin Huangbing: "Queen Mother, we can't sit still. ”

Lin Huangbing smiled softly: "Your queen mother is a person who is waiting to be killed?" The mourning family had long thought that the new emperor would be treacherous, a person like him was an ally before he succeeded, and once he succeeded, he had to learn from Zhang Liang to learn a good way to retreat, otherwise he would only end up with 'cunning rabbit death, lackey cooking'. He stood up as a commoner like Liu Bang, and he did not have the courage and strategy of the Emperor Taizu, so he could only gradually centralize power to satisfy his lackluster sense of security. ”

Xin Yun smiled: "It seems that the queen mother has already arranged it, and the sons are waiting to add fuel to the fire." ”

Lin Huangbing glanced at Xinyuan, who was still ignorant, and sighed: "Take this child to the waste concubine to worship and worship." But be careful not to get her dirty. ”

Xin Yu looked at Lin Huangbing hesitantly: "Queen Mother, do you want to let your aunt come with you?" Concubine Shu left there alone, strange and pitiful. Anyway, I pulled it back and buried it. ”

Lin Huangbing closed his eyes: "If the mourning family doesn't do such a loving and righteous thing, you can do it if you like." Just one thing, don't let people have a mistake that they can pinch later. The mourning family doesn't want you to do it, do more and make more mistakes, and do less and make fewer mistakes. ”

Xin Yu curts: "Erchen will be careful." ”

Lin Huangbing sighed.

No matter how careful she is, it's useless, because Song Can will definitely stare at her. She can be alone, but she can't keep her two daughters, so she must find a good place for them when she still has the strength.

Soon, Song Canxing was canonized. The momentum is huge, and everyone in the world praises Song Can's filial piety.

At dusk on this day, a carriage drove out of the palace, and it was not noticeable along the way, but the people in the carriage did not know that there were already eunuchs in brocade clothes looking at it dizzily on the palace wall.

Inside the carriage.

Xin Yuan, who was wearing a bun and wearing the clothes of a rich and noble family, stared at Xin Yuan with cute eyes, and looked puzzled: "Sister Huang, why do we want to leave the palace?" Leaving the palace without permission is not in accordance with the rules. ”

Xin Yun smiled and said nothing, but sighed in his heart: "It's really a dragon giving birth to a dragon and a phoenix." Concubine Shu has always been self-denying, but she didn't expect that a girl who had been raised by her side since she was ignorant still couldn't match her original temperament. ”

Xinyuan didn't ask much when he saw his sister's words. The royal sister has her own reasons for such behavior. It won't hurt her after all.

The carriage traveled all the way, and in order to prevent tracking, it also made a special detour. It was easy to get to a hidden Zhuangzi in the suburbs, and the two princesses were supported by eunuchs. I entered through the back door, and I turned seven or eight corridors all the way to a dimly lit room. Just took a few sips of the extremely unpalatable coarse tea, a pair of people wearing cloaks came in, just took off their hats, and before they could salute each other, Hongyan rushed over, looking at the little delicate Xinyuan on the ground, tears were in their eyes, but they wanted to laugh.

Feng Wei followed and nodded to Xin Yuan, who personally held a porcelain altar in the hands of the eunuch and presented it to Feng Wei. Feng Wei took the porcelain altar and frowned heavily in his heart.

Originally, when he entered the palace when he was a child, he had also seen Concubine Shu, when she was gentle and lovely, but she was not a stupid person, a pair of charming eyes were very smart, he was still thinking: "There are such contradictory characters in the world, it can be seen that the heaven and earth are beautiful, all things are graceful, and only the palace can recruit such a person." "Now it's a handful of loess to cover the romance, and the once tall adults have now become ashes that are less than half of the altar, how can people not be sad.

Feng Wei looked at Hongyan.

This is her family, and she should hold it.

Hongyan turned around hurriedly when he came into contact with his gaze, only smiling at Xinyuan, but tears couldn't help but flow: "Don't let me hold that, I can't stand it!" ”

Xinyuan saw Hongyan crying, although he didn't know who this was, he only felt that she was kind and cute, stretched out his little jade hand, brushed away Hongyan's tears, Hongyan felt her kindness, and couldn't help but be even more sad and burst out of tears.

Xinyuan was a little flustered, she was still too young, although she had a bearing at a young age, she couldn't cope with all kinds of scenes.

Xin Yuan nodded to her, Xin Yuan was recognized, and then he stretched out his hand to hug Hongyan's head, gently patted the back of Hongyan's head, and said comforting words in non-standard Hokkien: "Don't be surprised, hold An An." ”

Hongyan was stunned.

This is the old sentence of the Ren family, it was the Lian family who coaxed Ren Jiulong and Ren Jiuyan, and they used it to coax their children, although Xinyuan was young, he remembered this in the end.

Hongyan hugged Xinyuan tightly and cried.

Now there are fewer and fewer old people around her, which makes her feel nostalgic. What's more, my aunt's fate is so bad, and if she says something unlucky to herself, isn't it "a thin life"? In the end, he ended up with an unknown death, leaving a young girl in the world, and I don't know if I can live a safe life.

Xinyuan was really frightened by the bold red face, holding the red face tightly and not knowing what to do, but he didn't dare to let go, his face looked embarrassed, cute and a little pleasing and pleasing to the people.

When Hongyan stood up and cried, Emperor Xinyuan's chest was already wet, and Emperor Xinyuan looked at her wet clothes aggrievedly, and pouted complainingly. Hongyan smiled embarrassedly, she had always been smart, she didn't know what to do. Feng Wei came over and smiled: "You are crying with makeup, and you don't want to make up for it, so as not to scare the two nieces." ”

Hongyan knew that this was looking for an opportunity for Emperor Xinyuan to change her clothes, so as not to lose her manners, she was born beautiful and had never given powder, so she didn't need to touch up her makeup at all. But for the sake of the emperor's face, she still said "yes" and retreated to another room first. Emperor Xinyuan was taken by the palace maid to another room to change into spare clothes. When it was cleaned up, it was called out. The two sides met again.

Xin Yun said with a smile: "The palace will do everything that should be done, the queen mother was having a hard time in the palace, and she was afraid of causing trouble, so she refused to act like this in the palace, but the palace insisted, and she never stopped it." ”

Feng Wei raised his eyebrows: "I didn't expect the Queen Mother to help anything." ”

Xin Yun smiled: "Uncle, although the affairs of your previous generation should not be discussed in this palace, this palace still has to remind my uncle: the truth is often not seen with your own eyes." The origin of the Pan family is unknown, and she tried her best to enter the Lin family. Pushing the Lin family step by step to this position, my uncle never doubted it? It is not easy for the queen mother, she can't act lightly, she often compromises, and her uncle shouldn't do nothing. ”

Feng Wei looked at Xin Yu's bright gaze, a little stunned. These eyes are very similar to my sister's flying eyes before the incident came out, and they are also like Hongyan's consistent eyes. He forgot when his sister became cold and introverted, and only knew about his sister's betrayal and his mother's death.

Xin 沄 put away the love xΓΉ. A pair of eyes became as indifferent as Lin Huangbing, and she pulled Xin Yuan: "Kneel down for the porcelain altar, kowtow three times, and say: 'Go all the way.'" Don't be filial and cry goodbye'. ”

Xin Yuan was very puzzled. Who is she unfilial for?

But Xinyuan still complied. Looking at Xinyuan's milky voice, he read angrily: "Unfilial son cry goodbye." Hongyan's tears were not held back.

Xin Yuan pulled up Xin Yuan, the palace maid swept the ashes for Xin Yuan, and Xin Yuan said goodbye and left. Hongyan and Feng Wei, who couldn't hold back their tears, were there to appease the feelings. Xinyuan is leaving, I don't know why. Suddenly glanced back and saw Feng Wei putting the porcelain altar on the table. Stretching out his hand to wrap around Hongyan, his thin lips kissed lightly on Hongyan's neck and behind his ears, infinitely tender and charming. Xin Yuan frowned in bewilderment.

What are they doing?

Xin Yuan was looking at it vigorously, and a hand suddenly covered Xin Yuan's eyes, and Xin Yuan's sneer sounded: "Children are not suitable, don't look at indecent things." ”

Xin Yuan pouted.

The royal sister knew how to bully her, and she was obviously very energetic! Don't let her see it yet! Hmph, she wants to grow up quickly, so that she can cover the eyes of the royal sister if she is good-looking in the future, and only show herself and not her.

It's just that Xinyuan doesn't know that she will never have this opportunity, this is the last intimate contact between her and the imperial sister, and then it is the end of the world, and they will not see each other. After the annexation of this dynasty, Xinyuan, who was in his twilight years, saw again the tomb of the emperor of the former dynasty who had become a green mound.

When the emperor sister returned to the palace, and as soon as she changed back into palace clothes, a little palace maid came to invite: "The queen mother asked the eldest princess to go." ”

Xinyuan immediately said: "I don't recognize you, where did you come from to be confused?" ”

The palace maid panicked, and before she could open her mouth to quibble, Xin Yuan had already ordered: "Come on, grab it, hit the board twenty times to gag your mouth, tie your hands and feet and drag it to see the queen mother, this palace wants to hear what the queen mother has to say." ”

The little palace maid just wanted to kneel down and beg for mercy, but she was already caught, strangled her mouth with a handkerchief, tied her hands and feet with hemp rope, beat her hands and feet hard, beat her twenty boards, and dragged her all the way to Lin Huangbing. Originally, Lin Huangbing had fallen asleep holding Jade Ruyi, but when he heard the movement, he got up again, and changed to Bai Yu Ruyi's hug: "What are you making trouble in the middle of the night?" You are young, you have the energy to make trouble, and you pity the old bones of the mourning family. ”

Xin Yun wrapped his arms around Lin Huangbing: "Queen Mother, this girl said that you passed on me, I don't know where to trick my sons into going where I don't know to harm them!" ”

Lin Huangbing glanced at her, and didn't look at it: "Send her to the queen, something happened under her rule, and the princess was frightened, which was her dereliction of duty as the lord of the six palaces." Remember to move louder, you go back to crying, and it's better not to sleep. Mourning the family and going to accompany Yuan'er, lest she be scared again. ”

Xin Yuan curts: "Yes." ”

Lin Huangbing hugged Bai Yu Ruyi and went to Xinyuan's bed, leaving it alone. The subordinates sent the palace maid to the queen with seven hands and eight feet, Xin Yu cried all the way to the queen, Song Can was originally in the imperial study to correct the recital, and the harem in the middle of the night was full of trouble, even if the eunuch did not report, he was disturbed enough, he couldn't help pinching his eyebrows with his hands, and he was angry to throw the recital far away, and when he went to the queen's Kunning Palace, it was in a mess - Xin Yuan hugged the queen and cried, the palace maid was in a mess, and the Empress Dowager Lin was holding the crying Xiao Xinyuan and reprimanding people, Song Can's head was about to faint, He was distraught and yelled, "Shut up!" (To be continued.) )
