Lin Chunqiu sent all the gifts he received to the palace in the evening, and this matter was naturally very sacred.

The emperor smiled, and rewarded Lin Chunqiu with two sets of treasures for young women on the spot, and said half-jokingly, "Lin Qing sent so many things in, why can't I let you go home empty-handed?" These two sets of women's heads are my congratulatory gifts. ”

Lin Chunqiu smiled after hearing this, and quickly kowtowed and thanked him.

The emperor gently lifted his dragon robe, turned to the topic and said, "What did Lin Qing think about the disaster relief between the boss and the fourth boss last time?" ”

Lin Chunqiu is a veteran of the court, usually low-key and unassuming, in some major court affairs, the emperor is very willing to listen to his opinions.

But in the matter of establishing the crown prince, Lin Chunqiu was neutral, and he really didn't have much interest in taking the heir. Besides, the eldest prince and the fourth prince are not suitable people for him to be kings.

The eldest prince is cowardly, Queen Su is famous and powerless, if she succeeds to the throne in the future, there will definitely be chaos in the court, and there will be courtiers everywhere.

And the forces behind the four princes are too complicated, and Xue Guifei is good at power, if the four princes succeed to the throne, Xue Guifei will definitely interfere in politics as the queen mother at that time......

Lin Chunqiu was old and refined, but he lowered his head slightly and said, "This matter is your emperor's family matter, how can Weichen open his mouth?" ”

The corners of the emperor's eyes moved slightly after hearing this, in the matter of establishing the crown prince, he knew that Lin Chunqiu had never been involved, and it was not surprising that he made such an answer.

The emperor stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and his face couldn't help but feel a little helpless, "I don't think you're bad at beaking, right?" It is a big deal, and I would like to hear your opinions. ”

Lin Chunqiu pursed his lips after hearing this, and after a long time, he rolled up his sleeves and said, "The eldest prince is kind-hearted, and the fourth prince is good at fighting, and they are all excellent princes......

The emperor looked at Lin Chunqiu, his face showed helplessness again, and he waved his hand and said, "That's it, it's really difficult for me to listen to the truth from you." ”

"Your Majesty, what the ministers say is true."

"Well, you can go back......"

The emperor waved his hand, and half of his eyelids seemed to be lacking.

Lin Chunqiu got up and respectfully exited the study.

In the evening, the red glow fills the sky, and the imperial study room is more magnificent.

Lin Chunqiu got down the white marble steps of the imperial study and really planned to go back to the house, but he didn't take a few steps out, and a little eunuch jumped out of the slanted stab and bowed his body to block the way, "Lord Lin, please stay." ”

Lin Chunqiu was stunned for a moment, and glanced at the little eunuch, he recognized that this little eunuch was Li Jin, a popular eunuch beside Xue Guifei.

What did he come to do?

Lin Chunqiu's mind moved slightly, but his face did not show it, only showed a trace of a smile and said, "Isn't this Gonggong Li?" ”

Li Jin immediately smiled and said, "The noble concubine heard that you recognized your granddaughter today, and I specially prepared a gift for Miss Lin, please go to Zhaoyang Palace to sit down." ”

Lin Chunqiu secretly pinched his fingers.

At this time, Xue Guifei invited him to Zhaoyang Palace, it must be for the affairs of the four princes, the punishment of the four princes has not yet been decided, and now the four princes' henchmen are as anxious as ants on a hot pot, Xue Guifei, as the biological mother of the four princes, is naturally more anxious than anyone else.

Lin Chunqiu naturally understood the reason, saying that he had prepared a gift, but he just wanted to win him over and talk from him.

But obviously not going.

Li Jin was afraid that Lin Chunqiu would not give face, so he lowered his voice with a smile on his face and said, "The concubine is waiting for the gift......

Lin Chunqiu glanced at Li Jin, hesitated slightly, and said, "Then there is Father-in-law Lao Li to lead the way." ”

Li Jin seemed to be relieved when he heard this, and said, "Gong Lin, please." ”

Zhaoyang Palace is the most magnificent palace in addition to the queen's main palace, the flowers in the garden are undefeated all year round, all kinds of strange birds and beasts have also raised a lot, Gong'e one by one held her breath and hung her head to serve, at a glance you know that they have been carefully adjusted, taught.

Xue Guifei set up a tea party in the side hall on one side, and when she saw Lin Chunqiu, she greeted with a smile, "Lin Gong, please take a seat." He smiled again, "Sure enough, people are in good spirits on happy occasions, Lin Gong's face is full of red light, and his spirit is very good." ”

Lin Chunqiu saluted, lowered his eyes and smiled slowly, "This is also a blessing for the emperor and the concubine." ”

Xue Guifei raised her lips and smiled when she heard this, and invited Lin Chunqiu to take a seat.

After the two sat down, a palace maid came up with hot tea.

Xue Guifei took the lead in asking, "This is the newly paid Qingcheng bud tea in Sichuan, how about Lin Gong taste it?" ”

Lin Chunqiu didn't refuse, took a sip of the teacup, and praised, "It's really good tea." ”

Xue Guifei smiled and instructed the palace maid beside her, "Prepare a box for Gong Lin to take with him when he goes back." ”

Lin Chunqiu was about to excuse herself, but she heard Xue Guifei say slowly, "If you talk about family affairs, Lin Gong, you are an elder, and my sister-in-law has been married for the past few years, and she has worked hard for her brother to take care of housework and raised five children, I am grateful to her from the bottom of my heart." ”

"The concubine is serious, as a woman, it should be like this." Lin Chunqiu said lightly, "This is her duty." ”

Lin Chunqiu understood in her heart that Xue Guifei used kinship to get close to her son.

Xue Guifei took a breath lightly after hearing this, and sighed again, "My brother and sister-in-law are very dedicated outside, and they have always regarded death as effective before the emperor, but the fourth child is not angry, and this time he was ordered to provide disaster relief, but it made Long Yan angry......

After speaking, Xue Guifei took the handkerchief as if to wipe her tears, and her voice was a little choked, "Don't hide it from Gong Lin, as soon as this incident came out, I haven't slept for many days......"

Lin Chunqiu just listened and didn't make a sound.

It stands to reason that he shouldn't even come to Zhaoyang Palace, after all, it's a harem......

But because of this level of kinship, when he came, others couldn't say anything, and the concubine invited him over in the name of congratulations, even if the other concubines knew, they didn't dare to chew their tongues.

This is Xue Guifei's cleverness.

Xue Guifei's eyes quickly swept over Lin Chunqiu, and seeing that Lin Chunqiu was silent, she said again, "Lin Gong's granddaughter is already fourteen, right?" Fourteen years old, but it's a good time to say goodbye......"

Although Xue Guifei didn't say it explicitly, Lin Chunqiu understood that Xue Guifei wanted to use her granddaughter's family affairs to buy him.

If he helps Xue Guifei say good things about the four princes in front of the emperor, maybe Xue Guifei will promote a rich and noble marriage for her granddaughter in the future.

However, Xue Guifei doesn't understand Lin Chunqiu after all, Lin Chunqiu is not a person who covets great wealth and wealth, if he is greedy for wealth and wealth, he has already made some moves over the years, why wait until now?

Besides, what about marrying rich? He has lived so long to see through those false things.

Lin Chunqiu still didn't speak, just took a sip of tea slowly, and said lightly after putting down the teacup, "Don't hide it from the concubine, my granddaughter has been raised in someone else's house for 14 years, and now she finally came back, my wife is reluctant to marry her at all, and she talked to me two days ago, saying that she would raise her granddaughter for a few more years before marrying, which can be regarded as compensation." ”

Xue Guifei is not a fool, since Lin Chunqiu said so, it shows that he still doesn't want to be with her, and he doesn't want to participate in the matter of winning the heir.

Lin Chunqiu's performance somewhat annoyed and disappointed Xue Guifei, but she couldn't do anything about him, after all, he didn't help the eldest prince, let alone participate in the succession.

You can't be a helper, but you can't be an enemy, once you become an enemy and turn your face, it's not necessarily who suffers!

Xue Guifei calculated in her heart, slowly changed her smile on her face, and said, "That's right, she has been raised outside for fourteen years, and now that she has finally come back, the old lady naturally feels sorry for her." ”

After that, he didn't talk about the affairs between the princes and princes, only pulled a few words of homely things, and ordered the palace maid to bring a few delicate trays over, and in the trays, a few pieces of yarn and a few pieces of silk, a few pieces of jewelry, and a box of head flowers for women and children.

Xue Guifei didn't talk about anything else, but said with a smile, "When you are free, let the old lady take her into the palace to come and show me." ”

Lin Chunqiu got up and thanked him, and then left Zhaoyang Palace.

Xue Guifei watched Lin Chunqiu leave, and she was inevitably discouraged, but she had no choice but to secretly hope for her brother.

…………

That night, because of her health, Mrs. Lin left Xue Huashang to live in the house, and Xue Huashang was actually up and down in her heart, always afraid that the geranium matter would be exposed.

But for Yan Hou, she has an unspeakable hatred in her heart, and she only hopes that Yan Hou can die early.

But to wait for death is also a difficult thing to do.

What to do?

I got through with geraniums today, but what about the future?

Xue Huasheng has always had to calm down in her heart, and what she didn't know was that her father Xue Yu had already begun to order someone to investigate her condition.

What a shrewd person is Xue Yu?

Xue Huashang is not sick early or late, but he is sick at this time, why?

Although it is his own daughter, he can't bear it, but the current situation does not allow him to think more, if he uses a daughter in exchange for support, his nephew will ascend the throne in the future, and this daughter can be regarded as a contribution to the Xue family.

Similarly, Lin also felt that Xue Huasheng's illness was strange, and quietly sent Mama Yao to check in private to see what the situation was.

Xue Huashang didn't know this, but he felt more and more that he was in danger and would be married into the Yanhou Mansion at any time.

The stronger this feeling became, the more suspicious she became, and the more she felt that Lin was hurting her behind her back.

Lin didn't know anything about Xue Huasheng's thoughts.

That night, Lin came to see Xue Huasheng, the rash on Xue Huasheng's arm had almost disappeared, Lin looked around, saw that it was much better, and said with a sigh of relief, "It's okay, it's all gone, I'm afraid of leaving any traces, girl's house, it's not good to leave traces." ”

Although Xue Huashang has always been very patient, and with the rebirth of a lifetime, her mind is more mature, but when she saw the words today, the huge fear and hatred in her heart struck again, and now when she saw the Lin family, the hatred was a little uncontrollable, and her words were a little bitter, "In my opinion, there is nothing wrong with leaving a scar."
