Chapter 113: Father and Daughter

That person's name is Lin Zhan, and his father also followed Zhao Tiannan and Han Su to fight the country together, and after the establishment of the Great Wu Dynasty, he also rewarded a military attache for meritorious deeds.

Compared with Xiao Li, the Duke of Anguo, who was only loyal to Zhao Tiannan, Lin Zhan's father had always followed behind Han Su, and Han Su had also seen Lin Zhan behind his father at that time.

It's just that I didn't expect that more than 20 years later, the original teenager had become a middle-aged man in his forties, and he also had a slight connection with Feng Zhige.

If it weren't for the glass of wine back then, I'm afraid there would be no Concubine Ning and Lin Zhan today.

Listening to Princess Hanyue, since Concubine Ning noticed that Zhao Zaicun's appearance was somewhat similar to Lin Zhan, in order not to contrast with Zhao Zaicun and attract the attention of people with intentions, Lin Zhan left the palace, and later entered the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army as a five-rank official.

Later, a few years later, under the control of his family, Lin Zhan also married a gentle and demure daughter-in-law.

However, Lin Zhan's wife has been a little weak since she was a child, and it is impossible for her to conceive an heir.

But what many people in the capital admired was that Lin Zhan not only did not dislike his wife for not being able to leave a blood for him, but also rejected his wife's request to take a concubine to continue the incense for him, and even more, in order to better take care of his frail wife, Lin Zhan also took the initiative to replace the errand of the Chinese military governor's mansion with an idle errand with no real power.

If Lin Zhan's behavior of treating his wife without abandoning him is admirable, then his behavior of taking the initiative to ask for an idle errand makes people feel sorry for him.

After all, Lin Zhan was a former guard in the palace, and his father was the founder of the country, and he had some affection with the emperor.

It's not that no one persuaded him, it's just that Lin Zhan seems to be iron-hearted, and whoever comes to persuade him is only silent and silent.

After a long time, others stopped persuading, and while regretting it, they felt that he really deserved to be a good man with affection and righteousness.

Especially those women in the capital who have married women, after suffering a lot of grievances in their in-laws' family. Looking back, I realized how happy it was to have a considerate and meticulous husband like Lin Zhan.

Now, because Lin Zhan has taken care of his wife for more than ten years, his name has become a model of loving wife in the capital.

Feng Zhige knew Lin Zhan and his well-known reputation. Unexpectedly, many years ago, he had such a past with Concubine Ning in the palace.

In the past two years, Lin Zhan's wife's health has finally improved, so it is the second day of February. On the day when the dragon raised his head, Lin Zhan planned to organize a birthday banquet for his wife, and also took this opportunity to thank the relatives and friends who had always supported the couple over the years.

Princess Hanyue just wanted Feng Zhige to lead her to this birthday banquet, she wanted to meet Lin Zhan, and then ask him personally, when she lived a harmonious life between husband and wife all these years, did she remember that there was a woman in the palace who was worried about him?

Feng Zhige actually didn't agree with what Princess Hanyue did, no matter what, unless the Zhao family changed hands, the relationship between Zhao Zaicun's brother and sister and Lin Zhan would not be able to be said on the surface. In this case, what is the point of Princess Hanyue having to worry about this question?

Could it be that knowing the answer, she and Zhao Zaicun can call Lin Zhan "Dad" openly?

It's better to bury this matter completely and never mention it again, this is what she should do.

After all, confusing the royal bloodline, how big a crime it is, no one should know it, and it really came to the day when the news leaked. Not to mention whether Zhao Zaicun can still be the crown prince, whether Princess Hanyue can still be the pearl of Zhao Tiannan's palm, I am afraid that their brothers and sisters, as well as Concubine Ning's mother's family and the Lin family, will have to be buried for Concubine Ning and Lin Zhan's impulse.

But. Feng Zhige did not dissuade Princess Hanyue.

After all, she is just an outsider, and she doesn't understand what Princess Hanyue in the bureau thinks about this matter, anyway, it's not a big deal, since she can help, it's nothing to help.

The reason why Princess Hanyue asked Feng Zhige to help was because Mu Qingwan had a little friendship with Lin Zhan's wife Sun many years ago. Last time Feng Mingxiang got married, Mu Qingwan sent an invitation to the Lin family, and the Sun family also came to congratulate him in person.

Thinking about it, this time Lin Zhan organized a birthday banquet for the Sun family, and he would definitely send an invitation to the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion.

Just as Princess Hanyue thought, there were still a few days before Sun's birthday, and the big red gilded invitation was sent to the Marquis of Weiyuan's mansion.

When having lunch with Mu Qingwan, Feng Zhige specially told Mu Qingwan that on the day of the birthday banquet, she would follow Mu Qingwan to Lin's house.

Although Mu Qingwan was a little surprised why Feng Zhige suddenly mentioned this stubble, she has always been a spoiled girl, and since Feng Zhige asked for it, she naturally would not object.

Speaking of which, at this time, there is only more than a month before Feng Zhige's wedding, and in other families, daughters like Feng Zhige, who are waiting to get married after making a family appointment, should be locked up in the boudoir to embroider wedding dresses, and how can they still think about running out like Feng Zhige.

As for Feng Zhige's wedding dress......

Feng Zhige's female popularity is definitely not bad, just look at the clothes, shoes and socks that she can make for the old man Han, but for this kind of meticulous work, even if she is still good, Feng Zhige never thought of really doing it herself, and Mu Qingwan's request was even more like a fraudulent refusal, Mu Qingwan had no choice, so she had to ask the best embroiderer to embroider Feng Zhige's wedding dress, just thinking about letting Feng Zhige symbolically prick a few stitches at the end.

In fact, this is also the traditional practice of those daughters who are not good at female popularity, so although Mu Qingwan regretted that her daughter's wedding dress was not embroidered by herself, she didn't mind this matter.

Soon it was the day when the second dragon raised its head in February.

The second day of the second month of February is also known as the Dragon Head Festival or the Green Dragon Festival, and all dynasties and generations have held various sacrifices on this day to pray for spring rain, and the Dawu Dynasty has more activities such as smoked insects and fried beans.

For the people, this day is a lively day.

For the Lin family, it was the day when the Sun family feasted on his birthday.

Early this morning, Feng Zhige packed up and went to Rongxi Hall.

But other people's homes are guests, it is extremely rude to go late, when Feng Zhige arrived at Rongxi Hall, Mu Qingwan was already waiting in the main hall, just waiting for Feng Zhige to arrive and go out together.

Accompanying them was the Yu family as a bride.

It has been a few months since Yu married into the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, but if you really want to talk about it, today is the first time she has appeared outside as the bride of the Feng family.

No matter how calm Ren Yushi is, it is inevitable that he will be a little nervous today, and he asked Mu Qingwan and Feng Zhige more than once along the way if there was anything wrong with her dress. It was Mu Qingwan and Feng Zhige who repeatedly assured her that she could let go of the worries in her heart.

The carriage soon arrived at Lin's house.

The heirs of the Lin family are not prosperous, and in Lin Zhan's generation, there is only one sister above. He is the only man, and because of this, after knowing that the Sun family could not give birth to an heir, I don't know how many people in the Lin family clan put pressure on Lin Zhan, forcing him to take a concubine room and pass on the incense.

But. Lin Zhan finally withstood the pressure and did not take a concubine, and only promised to inherit a child from the clan in the future.

Of course, why Lin Zhan was so resolute in this matter, I was afraid that no one except him would know.

Princess Hanyue did not set off from the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion with Feng Zhige, but waited in a teahouse on the way, and after Feng Zhige asked to rest in the teahouse for a while, the two staged a chance encounter, and then made an appointment to go to Lin's house together.

It's also thanks to Yu's that he has rarely gone out over the years, and he hasn't seen Princess Hanyue, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to sing this play.

The carriage of the Marquis of Weiyuan Mansion stopped at the door of Lin's house.

Although the hour is still early. But there were already quite a few carriages in front of Lin's house.

The status of the Lin family in the court is not obvious now, since the death of Han Su, Zhao Tiannan seems to have forgotten the Lin family, Lin Zhan's father just got an errand, and later Lin Zhan became the imperial guard, and often had the opportunity to show his face in front of Zhao Tiannan, and the situation of the Lin family was better.

However, the good times did not last long, Lin Zhan later left the palace, and politely refused the real errand arranged for him by Zhao Tiannan, so he had to ask for an idle errand. The Lin family's situation is even worse than before.

Because of this, most of the people who have dealings with the Lin family now are not from noble families, so the carriage of the Marquis of Weiyuan Mansion stopped at the gate of the Lin family. It attracted a lot of attention, and when they learned that the Sun family had a relationship with Mu Qingwan, who was now the wife of the Marquis of Weiyuan, those doubtful eyes were relieved.

Holding a birthday banquet is a happy event, Mu Qingwan has an invitation card in his hand, and the Marquis of Weiyuan Mansion is now involved with the Han family, and his status is not comparable to ordinary people. Naturally, it was impossible for the Lin family to carefully interrogate the identities of the people who came with Mu Qingwan, so even if there were some doubts about the fact that there were a lot of people from the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion, Princess Hanyue still followed into the Lin family like this.

After entering the Lin family, Princess Hanyue said hello to Feng Zhige and separated from them.

Feng Zhige knew that Princess Hanyue must have gone to find Lin Zhan.

And Mu Qingwan Feng Zhige and Yu's family, under the guidance of a well-dressed grandmother of the Lin family, went to the flower hall where the Lin family was entertained to drink tea.

After a while, Sun, who was the hostess, came to the flower hall.

Sun and Mu Qingwan had a friendship back then, and when they met at this time, it was naturally another narrative, and Feng Zhige, except for greeting Sun at the beginning, had been quietly looking at Sun.

Just like the rumors about Sun from the outside world, Sun's body does look very thin, perhaps because she has not seen the sun all year round, her face is even more pale as paper, but she looks good in spirit, and she has come out to entertain guests for so long, and she does not see any tiredness on her face.

After some laughter and conversation, the next step is to have a feast.

Until the banquet was withdrawn, Feng Zhige couldn't see Princess Hanyue, Mu Qingwan and Yu Shi were still puzzled by this for a while, and they were both diverted by Feng Zhige's words.

After the banquet, Sun invited Mu Qingwan and other female guests to watch the play, and I heard that the opera team is still the hottest team in the capital recently.

However, Feng Zhige was not interested in watching those babbling plays, and soon after the play was finished, he left the theater on the grounds that he wanted to go to the toilet.

Originally, she was just thinking about walking around, and when the time came, she would go back to the Hou Mansion with Mu Qingwan and Yu.

The reason why Feng Zhige came to the Lin family today was because she was doing Princess Hanyue a favor, and she never thought of joining the royal family.

However, it's not that she doesn't want to participate, so she can really stay out of it.

Feng Zhige didn't expect that she just went to Gongfang, but when she came out, she would hear the conversation between Princess Hanyue and another man.

Of course, it is not a good habit to eavesdrop on the conversation of others, but Princess Hanyue and the man happened to be standing on the road that Feng Zhige was going to go out, so she naturally did not want to go out rashly at this time to interrupt the conversation between the two, so she could only stand in place and was forced to listen to the conversation between the two.

The man looked like he was about forty, tall and strong, and he looked very powerful, and he knew at first sight that he must be equipped with kung fu.

The man's face was a little heroic. Coupled with the maturity brewed by the years, it is also quite attractive, from his face, Feng Zhige can vaguely see the shadow of the silent boy back then.

This is Lin Zhan.

Today is the day when Lin Zhan held a birthday banquet for his wife. As the host, Lin Zhan was supposed to accompany the guests in the front yard, but he was stopped on the road by Princess Hanyue at this time.

"Moon...... Princess? ”

Suddenly seeing Princess Hanyue, Lin Zhan was obviously very shocked, and a title was divided into two halves.

A few words are finished. Lin Zhan's eyes were a little more complicated and remorseful.

"How did you come here?" He said.

Princess Hanyue listened to Lin Zhan's word "you", but she felt unusually harsh.

She sneered, and the gaze of the tax profit looked directly at Lin Zhan, "What, Lord Lin is very strange to see this palace?" ”

Lin Zhan's eyes were originally a little excited, but when he heard Princess Hanyue's self-proclaimed "main palace", the joy in the depths of his heart was suppressed by him again.

Yes, she is the most beloved princess of the emperor today, and she is a little military attache who is now down. It can't and shouldn't be involved.

Thinking of this, Lin Zhan lowered his head and was silent for a while, and then said: "The princess has a noble status, and it is naturally the honor of the villain to be able to come to the cold house, but the princess should still return to the palace as soon as possible, if the princess has any accident in the cold house, the villain may not be able to bear it." ”

As soon as Princess Hanyue heard this, the resentment she already had against Lin Zhan in her heart instantly magnified several points. She suddenly stepped forward, almost in Lin Zhan's ear, and said, "Lord Lin has had a beautiful wife all these years, and he has lived a happy life with his husband and wife. It's really enviable, but I don't know, when Lord Lin dreamed back at midnight, did he ever think that my mother was still alone and lonely and cold in that deep palace? ”

Lin Zhan hadn't reacted to the meaning of Princess Hanyue's words at the beginning. But then I was taken aback.

The matter between him and Concubine Ning back then, since he left the palace, has been pressed by him in the bottom of his heart, after all, this matter is too serious, once it is known by outsiders, I am afraid that it will bring disaster to the two families.

So over the years, Lin Zhan not only didn't dare to confide a word to others, but in order to prevent himself from having the possibility of spitting out the truth after drinking, he didn't dare to touch a drop of wine.

He originally thought that apart from him and Concubine Ning, this matter should become an eternal secret, but now, how did Princess Hanyue know about this qiē?

Lin Zhan's eyes widened.

However, in the end, he has also gone through nearly forty years of ups and downs, and his psychological quality is undoubtedly much better than that of Princess Hanyue's age, and in just a moment, he tried his best to suppress his beating heart and kept his composure: "The villain doesn't understand what the princess means by this." ”

Seeing Lin Zhan's denial, Princess Hanyue showed disappointment and disdain on her face.

Since he didn't dare to admit it at this time, how could he dare to do such a thing with his mother in the first place, and at that time, did he think about what would happen to his mother and their brothers and sisters when this qiē was exposed in the future?

Don't look at her now that she has the identity of a golden branch and jade leaf, and she is even more pampered by her father, the more favored she is now, if her father knows the truth in the future, I am afraid that her fate will be more miserable.

And this qiē, the irresponsible man in front of him, did he think about it at the beginning?

Every time she thought of this, Princess Hanyue couldn't wait to strangle the man in front of her.

She sneered disdainfully, "If Lord Lin is really a noble person who forgets things, this palace doesn't mind reminding Lord Lin that when he was in the palace, Lord Lin and his mother did such a big rebellious act, and now they want to continue to stay out of the matter as they have done all these years?" Lord Lin never thought about it, once this matter was known to his father, what would happen to the palace and the imperial brother? ”

was picked out like this by Princess Hanyue, Lin Zhan couldn't pretend to know even if he wanted to.

He looked at Princess Hanyue's face that was similar to Concubine Ning, and his eyes flashed with deep pain and deep remorse.

Over the years, although he has never dared to mention Concubine Ning and Princess Hanyue to others, in his heart, he has never dared to forget it.

Concubine Ning was originally the woman he thought he wanted to spend his life with when he was young, if it weren't for Concubine Ning's mother's family insisting on sending her to the palace, I am afraid that they have already supported each other for more than 20 years, and maybe there will be children like the current prince and Princess Hanyue.

It's just that no matter how much he thinks about it, Lin Zhan never dares to say a word outside.

He can only hide the three people he has been worried about deep in his heart, and only occasionally dream back at midnight to see Concubine Ning and their children in his dreams.

At this time, looking at Princess Hanyue who was close at hand, Lin Zhan actually wanted to call a "child" and then hug her into his arms, but the identity of the other party's princess made him have to restrain his extravagant expectations.

She can only be a princess with a royal status, and she can't be his daughter!

Whenever he thought of this, Lin Zhan would always regret his impulsiveness.

He didn't regret that this incident might put him in danger, but regretted that he had done such an impulsive thing, and the final bitter consequences had to be borne by Concubine Ning and their children.

Zhao Zaicun is not favored by the emperor, even if he is made a prince, he has always lived a life of walking on thin ice over the years, and Lin Zhan knows this.

And Princess Hanyue, although she was favored by the emperor, but she knew what happened to him and Concubine Ning back then, how could she really live as wanton as in the eyes of outsiders? (To be continued.) )
