Chapter 15 The Legend of Concubine Lin in the Harem
Lin Guifei was wearing a moon-white homely dress, reclining on the bed, holding a jade ruyi in her hand, and quietly touching the auspicious lines on it with her hands. Her daughter, Emperor Xinyu, who was alluring the country and the city, was kneeling at the end of the bed, holding a small cloth hammer, and beating Lin Guifei's legs with moderate force.
Lin Guifei's eyelids were half-closed, very peaceful, and her demeanor was a bit like the white porcelain Guanyin statue in the temple: "Do you know what to say?" β
Xin Yuan nodded: "Yuan Er knows." β
Lin Guifei closed her eyes: "Yu'er, do you know what you will face if you say this?" β
Xin Yun smiled lightly, and a mature smile that did not match his age was on his face: "It's just another game, so why worry?" As a woman, and in troubled times, it is inevitable that duckweed will die. In this case, why not enjoy yourself at this time, you will be really lonely in the future, and you will have memories to live. β
Lin Guifei stroked Xin Yuan's head and sighed: "What you can figure out, I couldn't figure it out back then." White lost his closest people for something unrealistic. β
Xin Yun smiled and was relieved: "Why is the mother concubine worried? You have atoned for your sins, and your heart is not beaten with iron, and it will no longer grudge you. β
Lin Guifei sighed: "I hope so." β
The concubine's personal girl stepped forward and whispered in the concubine's ear: "Your Majesty has arrived at the entrance of the palace." β
Lin Guifei hurriedly got up, didn't apply powder, only took a white hosta to loosen her hair, and led Xin Yuan to meet the driver. The concubine was originally born beautiful, and the god Ji was also beautiful and Fengyi, and two flowers came for a while, and the emperor was stunned.
Xin Yuan saluted and pounced on the emperor, shaking a string of red bean beads bracelet in his hand: "Father, do you think Yuan'er's bracelet looks good?" β
The emperor picked up Xinyun with a smile on his face: "It's good-looking, but it's a little rough, like a bracelet." But you did it? β
"Definitely, how can you have this skill," Xin Yuan's eyes flashed with agility, making her more and more intelligent, "This is what my uncle dropped when he came to the palace a few days ago, so I picked it up." β
The emperor put down Xinyun, took the bracelet from her hand and looked at it, and said with a smile: "You brother, I have always been clean and self-conscious, but I never thought that the time had not come." β
Lin Guifei smiled but did not speak.
The emperor asked again, "Who is Jiashu?" Such blessings. β
Xin Yu replied: "Father, look carefully at the inner wall of the beads, there are words engraved!" It's a pity that Yu'er is young and can't understand it. My mother wouldn't tell me. β
The emperor took a closer look and found that there were indeed two beads engraved with the words "red" and "yan", and he frowned slightly: "Yan Hong? Beauty? It's familiar. β
The eunuch who served beside the emperor took a small step forward and reminded quietly: "Your Majesty: Concubine Shu's mother has a niece named Hongyan. "Yes," the Emperor laughed, "I have heard of this girl, she is beautiful." But it doesn't seem to be serious, and it's colluded with You Han. β
Lin Guifei snatched the bracelet, with anger and a little anger in her eyes: "Your Majesty's words are funny, could it be that my brother's vision is so bad?" His Majesty didn't believe it, just look at the sister of the concubine, and praised the sister of the concubine for her dignified and amiable manners, but it is not good for her to dislike her niece and daughter. β
The emperor loved Lin Guifei's true temperament that dared to be angry with him, so he hurriedly pulled her into his arms and comforted her: "I should not listen to slander." How long has your brother been with her? If you want to achieve a marriage, take care of it. β
Lin Guifei looked at him: "Really? "Really, really!" The emperor hurriedly responded.
Concubine Lin smiled and loved the emperor so much. Emperor Xinyuan saw that her mother and father had already started**, and knew that her introduction role had been completed, so she quietly retreated.
Lin Guifei poked the emperor's chest with her fingers: "You Han teased other girls in Rulai Temple, forcing other girls to throw themselves into the lake to observe the festival, so that my younger brother almost cried and broke his heart, and knelt in front of me to save her." The You family has recently been preparing to force the Ren family to be a concubine, and if it comes to fruition, my brother will definitely not live; If he doesn't live, I'll die!" β
The emperor hurriedly covered Lin Guifei's mouth: "Good man, don't scare me, if you have a good guy, what should you do if you leave me?" Don't be in a hurry, I will decree marriage. β
Lin Guifei grabbed his hand away: "Then what about the You family?" Now Lin'an is rumored to say that the eldest daughter of the four-rank official wants to be a concubine for the son of the Taishi. Isn't it an honor enjoyed by His Majesty or the crown prince to accept the eldest daughter of a four-rank official as a concubine? β
The Emperor's face stiffened.
It is good that he relied on You Tang to ascend the throne, but he also saw what You Tang did. He can endure whatever You Tang does, but he can't bear to covet imperial power and despise authority! It's annoying enough to be bullied by Lu Zhen and Xianqiu, and you still have to let others ride on your head to and pee on your own land?
The emperor flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly: "This queen is becoming more and more unruly. She had already asked her to restrain her family a lot, but she let You Han cause such a big incident, which is simply hateful! β
Lin Guifei was silent.
It's the queen scolded by the emperor, and it has nothing to do with her.
The emperor's hand was on Lin Guifei's shoulder, and his eyes showed rare tenacity: "Don't worry, I won't let you be wronged." With that, he took the people away.
Lin Guifei saluted the emperor's back, took the jade Ruyi handed by the palace maid, and fiddled with the tied ear, her eyes were empty: "It's going to be windy." β
On the same day, under the holy decree: Concubine Ren, dignified in appearance, virtuous and virtuous, and named her daughter Princess Zhaoguo. Ren Jiulong's eldest daughter Shuyi is virtuous and has a noble character, and she is specially given a pair of white jade bottles as a reward; And, he married Lin Fengwei, the son of Ren and Lin Ji, the son of Suzhou Thorn Shi, and the wedding date was scheduled for November 9, three years later.
The emperor originally wanted to punish You Han, but due to You Tang's power, he still didn't do anything, but just found a substitute for the dead ghost - He Xiangsui was dragged to the yamen and hit forty boards, and Shao Yin He Rui also personally went to the door of Ren's house to ask for guilt.
The emperor's marriage, the You family has also restrained a lot, at least You Han was confined by You Tang. The queen also took off the hairpin and pleaded guilty and ceded the power of the six palaces to Concubine Lin.
However, it's far from that simple!
Kunning Palace Wangxiang Tower.
Concubine Ren Jiuyan knelt on the ground, and pleaded with the gloomy queen with tears: "Niangniang, the concubine really doesn't know why this is like this. The Ren family has no dealings with the Lin family, so it must be the concubine's strategy. β
The queen snorted coldly: "This palace expects that your Ren family will not dare, otherwise you would not rather decide to wronged the eldest daughter to be a concubine than be an enemy of the You family." β
Concubine Shu hurriedly said: "It is a blessing for Hongyan to be able to serve her son, where will she be wronged." β
The queen listened comfortably, and her face softened a little: "I think it must be Lin Huangbing's trick, which can not only take away the power of the palace, but also give the You family a dismount, fulfill his younger brother's good deeds, and provoke the relationship between the Ren family and the You family, and win over the forces of southern Fujian." β
Concubine Shu echoed: "Yes, the concubine is good at power, and the Ren family didn't calculate it for her." β
The queen frowned, and a hint of sarcasm appeared on her face: "What waves can she turn over?" A woman who relied on her younger brother to ascend to the throneΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Besides, she only has one Xinyu who has been crowned the princess of Shu, and there is a prince in this palace. β
Concubine Shu nodded and said, "Isn't it?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise and martial, and the mother just quit for a while to cultivate her self-cultivation, and let the concubine play for the time being. β
The queen smiled: "Get up, your body hasn't been well yet, don't catch a cold on the ground." β
"Xie Niangniang." When Concubine Shu got up, she didn't dare to sit down, so she just stood beside the queen.
The queen was still unsettled: "Although the marriage is given, it can't make the two of them harmonious." Your niece and nephew will be punished for giving Han'er such a big face. β
Concubine Shu hurriedly said: "Don't forget the mother's instructions, the concubine has already asked her brother to do it - this morning my brother sent a message saying that now the backyard is in charge of the new second room, the Zhang family has been punished and confined, and the eldest girl has also been sent to the suburbs Zhuangzi to recuperate; The cousin followed. β
The queen nodded: "That's good." Your brother married the daughter of Zhang Zicong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, but it was a drag! Zhang Zicong has remained neutral for many years, and he is the most loyal to the emperor, so he can't be used by me at all, and he can't collude with the Zhang family. β
Concubine Shu only agreed, and accompanied each other for a while, and when she saw that the queen was tired, she dared to leave.
Lin'an City originally wanted to see the joke, but as soon as the result came out, people didn't dare to look at it anymore - although the You family lost this time, the power is still there, who dares to speak? The Ren family is miserable, but with the support of the emperor, who dares to talk more? So everyone chose not to talk about it.
When Hongyan and Xiaoxiao were sent to Zhuangzi in the suburbs, Song Can also specially sent someone to escort her and make a pomp for her. Hongyan only said that it was because of Feng Wei's friendship; Dai Zhong thought that Zhimei was going to intercede with Song Can for himself, which led to Lin Guifei to save her, and she had already been grateful to Zhimei in her heart. In fact, Song Can just used Zhimei's words and Feng Wei's favor as an excuse to do his trick to win people's hearts.
After his daughter left, Zhang took his young daughter back to Zhang's house, and Dai Xing said that he was not worried about his mother, so he also followed. The remaining Dai Zhong was angry in the face of the young Erniang, and he couldn't learn from his younger brother to run to his grandfather's house, leaving the scandal of discord in the Ren family to the outside world, so he simply lingered in Lanhuaxuan every day, and drank and played chess with Gu Zhimei in one place, and had a good reputation.
On this day, Feng Wei was holding the red bean bead bracelet returned by Lin Guifei, smelling the incense wafting from the incense burner and checking the account book, and the little maid Yu Zhenxi came in with a letter and teased: "Childe, the letterhead of the future lady~"
Feng Wei glared at him, snatched the letter with his hand, and his face turned red with shame just by looking at the words Juanxiu on the envelope, he was not happy that the little guy laughed at him openly, so he raised his neck and shouted: "Get out!" β
Yu Zhenxi smiled and stuck out his tongue and ran out quickly. Years of getting along with each other allowed him to know Feng Wei's next move, successfully dodging the wooden pillow that Feng Wei threw over, and avoiding an unwarranted disaster.
Feng Wei opened the letterhead and looked at it, and immediately laughed - it turned out that Hongyan invited him to get together. He jumped up and down the house with joy, accidentally stepped on a wooden pillow, and fell into the mud.
The little guy who came in to clean saw it and hurriedly rushed out, lest he be punished by Feng Wei too late!
