In the palace of the concubine.

After the clouds and rain, Lin Nan lay in Zhao Jingqi's arms, and gasped: "The queen's posture, the city is stunning, the emperor's newlywed Yan'er, you should go to her palace more, why come to me every day?" ”

Zhao Jingqi took the woman in her arms to her side and sighed: "If I go often, won't I leave you out in the cold." ”

Lin Nan's eyes flashed eagerly, and his slender index finger caressed Zhao Jingqi's eyebrows.

"Zhao Jingqi, if you spoil me like this, you will spoil me."

"So what?"

Zhao Jingqi raised his eyebrows: "You followed me into the palace, for me to be trapped in this imperial city in all directions, if I don't spoil you again, won't I live up to your love for me." ”

Lin Nan couldn't help but bury his face in his chest, feeling the man's heartbeat.

Zhao Jingqi kissed Lin Nan's hair and said lightly: "Xiao Nan, now in this deep palace, I only have you!" ”

Lin Nan knew that what he was talking about was Cui Jinchen, who had just left the palace, and said tenderly: "The queen mother is afraid of the emperor in the end." If the emperor is smart, he doesn't have to mention it in front of the queen mother in the future, which will also be beneficial to the young master of the Cui family. ”

Zhao Jingqi sighed: "Fifty rods, in the end, it's heavier." This is not the case! ”

Lin Nan's eyes were sad, and he said lightly: "It's a fluke that he can pick up a life." I heard that most of the eunuchs and palace maids in Chonghua Palace were killed with rods. ”

Zhao Jingqi's body trembled slightly, and her expression was a little strange.

Lin Nan was keenly aware of it and deliberately diverted the topic: "The marriage date of my junior brother and Xiaoxi has been finalized, and it is scheduled for the third day of the third month of March, and the day of spring next year is also Xiaoxi's birthday." The host of the Yangu Temple that Prince Jing personally begged. These two little enemies have finally settled down, and it is not in vain that I have worked for them. ”

Zhao Jingqi couldn't bear to spoil him. Hiding the doubts in his heart, he smiled: "When the time comes." I'm determined to give a big gift before I can make sense. ”

Lin Nanmei smiled and wrapped up.

Zhao Jingqi's heart was hot, and he said in a low voice: "Haven't fed you yet?" ”

Lin Nan smiled but did not speak. One turned over and pressed the man underneath, his eyes facing each other, and the temperature in the tent gradually rose.

……

In the early days of the emperor, Lin Nan dressed up and took the spring night to the queen's palace to say goodbye.

Gao Iris waited for her to finish saluting, a false smile appeared on her face, she got out of her seat and grabbed Lin Nan's hand and said, "Concubine, please get up quickly, you and my sister don't need to be like this." ”

Lin Nan said with a smile: "Although the concubine is a native of the countryside, she also knows that etiquette cannot be abolished. ”

High Iris looked at the look of her eyebrows at the corners of her eyes. There was sourness in his heart, and he smiled and said: "You are two years old in the palace, and you are waiting in front of the emperor, even in front of outsiders, let the palace call you sister when there is no one." ”

Lin Nan was taken aback and hurriedly said, "Absolutely not." ”

Gao Iris smiled and helped her down: "What must not be, when Lin Xi was a maid in the palace room, the palace never treated her as an outsider, and our sisters were affectionate." Isn't it fragrant? ”

A sentence of maid made Lin Nan behind the spring night frown involuntarily, but Lin Nan didn't notice it, and said with a smile: "Niangniang said so." And the concubine took it bigger. ”

The high iris is sweet-hearted and bitter, the proprietress of a wine shop, and the quality of the ninth-rate. It's ridiculous to call her sisters now.

She laughed, "That's how it should be." ”

Lin Nan smiled when he saw her. Peaceful and amiable, I can't help but feel good. I told some jokes with him before leaving.

Spring Night followed and whispered in his ear: "Niangniang, in the palace, you need to use a more heart, the queen looks extraordinary, Niangniang is still far away." ”

"I'm fine."

"Niangniang doesn't know, as the so-called knowing people and faces don't know their hearts, the emperor favors the emperor like this, and a woman will be dissatisfied."

"She entered the palace after Xiaoxi interceded in front of the Queen Mother, even if she looks at this, she won't hurt me."

Spring Night shook her head and sighed: "I'm only afraid of this time, that time." ”

Lin Nan knew that the Spring Night was for her good, so he immediately nodded and said, "If you say so, I'll stay away and don't provoke." ”

……

The fragrance of osmanthus is gone, the days fly by, and it is late autumn in a blink of an eye.

News came from the palace that Concubine Lin Guifei was diagnosed as pregnant for one month. This is the first happy event from the harem since Emperor Ming Dao ascended the throne. The emperor, the queen mother, was overjoyed and ordered a tax reduction of one percent this autumn to pray for the child in the concubine's womb.

Lin Xi learned that the senior sister was happy, and she couldn't help herself with joy, so she pestered Xiaoyaohou to open the treasury and sent a bunch of rare toys into the palace to make the senior sister happy.

I was afraid that there would be many ghosts in the palace, so I deliberately ran to the Changmen Palace, patted the Queen Mother, and Chunyang made a fuss, and tactfully expressed that the first pregnancy is the most important.

Queen Mother, what kind of person Chunyang is, I don't want Lin Xi to explain, and I also know the importance of this matter. The royal family of Xin has been looking forward to it for so many years, and finally looked forward to the good news, how could the Queen Mother let others secretly do something.

She waited for Lin Xi to leave, called many concubines led by the queen to her, and beat her hard.

The concubines knelt on the ground, their faces were pale and trembling with fright. The high kis tail bore the brunt, and his face was a little pale.

The Queen Mother saw that the time was almost up, so she put the tea on the table.

"In the eyes of the mourners, there is no room for sand. If any of you are bold, just try the heart of the mourners. If the child in the belly of the concubine has a little difference, it is not only you who mourn the family, but also the people behind you. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes were filled with horror.

When the others left, the Queen Mother summoned Chunyang to pick a few of her duties and put the reliable grandmother in the palace of the concubine to take care of the concubine's diet and daily life.

She herself entered the Buddhist hall. After the Xin Kingdom is in power, she must speak well in front of the Bodhisattva.

……

At this time, Zhao Jingqi put his hand on Lin Nan's stomach with a look of surprise.

In eight months, his first prince will be born, which is the blood of him and Xiao Nan. A tear ran from his eye.

"Xiao Nan, I ......"

Lin Nan didn't expect the dignified emperor to shed tears excitedly, and gently touched the corners of his eyes with his bare hands, and his red lips opened lightly.

"Zhao Jingqi, this is our first one. In the future, I will give birth to many for you, so that you can't hold them. ”

"It's a deal. I want two sons and two daughters. My son looks like me. My daughter looks like you. I'm going to teach them to read and read. Drawing, you teach them to practice martial arts and defend themselves. ”

Lin Nan smiled and rested his head on the man's shoulder.

"It's a deal."

"The Queen Mother has arrived." The chamberlain's voice was high-pitched

As soon as the words fell, a beautiful woman in a phoenix robe came.

"The concubine has seen the emperor."

"No courtesy."

Zhao Jingqi looked at her: "What is the queen doing here?" ”

Gao Iris smiled: "Your Majesty, the concubine came to say hello to the concubine." ”

Lin Nan smiled: "Thank you for your concern." ”

Zhao Jingqi said impatiently: "The queen goes, my harem still needs the queen to bother more, and the concubine doesn't have to come here if she has nothing to do." ”

Gao Iris's face changed a few times, and finally put down the breath in his heart, and said with a smile: "It's the emperor." ”

Lin Nan and the others left. Complained: "Why do you want to do this, she is also pitiful." ”

"Hey, I don't know why, I don't feel comfortable seeing her." Zhao Jingqi sighed lightly.

Lin Nan thought about the queen's care for her these days, and said with a smile: "When you have time, go to the queen's palace to sit more, even if you don't like her, you always have to round up for her in terms of face." After all, she controls the six palaces, and she needs the emperor to support her behind her back. ”

Zhao Jingqi said: "Don't worry. If I marry her, I will not do her any wrong. ”

……

That night, Lin Beijuan, who got the news, invited him into the palace and personally checked Lin Nan's pulse.

Lin Nan looked at him and frowned. A beat in my heart: "How?"

"The pulse is strong and powerful, and the mother and son are safe."

Lin Nan's relieved breath of the outlet.

Lin Bei's eyebrows tightened.

"Senior brother, what's the matter?" Lin Nan saw that he and Lin Xi had exactly the same expression. I couldn't help asking.

Lin Bei sighed lightly: "Senior sister, take care of your own food, clothing, housing and transportation." Don't be sloppy. I enter the palace once every half a month to take the pulse, and I don't feel at ease with others. ”

Lin Nan's heart was moved. He said softly: "Senior brother, don't worry. I'll be careful. ”

……

On the second day of Lin Nan's joy, Gangzi personally went to the Lin family to propose marriage, he didn't bring anything, only brought the silver taels saved over the years, and put it in the hands of the twelve mothers, counting carefully, there were 1,500 taels.

Gangzi's face was a little oily, and the corners of his mouth were smirking: "Twelve Niang, if you are willing, marry your daughter to me." I promise you that I will never starve her only if I eat a bite of her. I will be good to her for the rest of my life. ”

Twelve Niang was so excited that she didn't know what to do, but Er Ya ran away angrily.

Gangzi's face sank.

Twelve Niang smiled and said, "Don't pay attention to her, this kid taught me to spoil me." Marriage is a major event, and the parents' orders are not up to her to do what she wants. ”

Gangzi knew Erya's intentions for his son, and smiled shyly: "Twelve Niang, don't force her, if she is willing, this money is a dowry, if she is unwilling...... You...... Return it to me. ”

That night, Tie Dan came back from the village and entered Erya's room with Twelve Niang. In the middle of the night, there were muffled cries and harsh scolding from the twelve mothers in the room.

Three days later, Twelve Niang returned to Linjia Village with a happy face, sat on the man's grave for a long time, and talked about the second girl's marriage and the dead ghost in the grave.

……

At this time, on the official road five hundred miles away from the capital, hundreds of guards escorted a black carriage slowly. The two guards in front of the fight held a flag in their hands, and a Wei character was written on it.

Wei and his entourage entered Beijing, collapsed to the post house, and after everything was in order, they handed a towel to the palace and wanted to meet the Empress Dowager of Xin.

Empress Dowager Li took the sticker and threw it aside. She is the queen mother of a country, how can she see the little Wei people who want to see her.

The people of Wei are not in a hurry or impatient, they are resting in the post house, and they hand over a sticker every day.

Ten days later, Empress Dowager Li relented and summoned the envoy of Wei.

……

Er Ya finally agreed to this family affair, and the marriage was scheduled for half a year later. Gangzi was so happy that he didn't know what to do, so he set up a table in the Drunken Immortal House that night and asked the shopkeeper to drink.

Everyone was happy for Gangzi.

That night, Tie Dan came back from the village to discuss the marriage.

After Lin Bei learned about it, he ordered the account room to take out 1,000 taels of silver and send it to Twelve Niang to make a dowry for Erya.

Twelve Niang had never seen so much silver in her life, and she burst into tears of joy.

……

On this day, a big event happened in Xiaoyaohou.

Hello in the morning, Li Congwang made a muffled sound, planted himself from the chair, did not wake up, and there was a mess in the flower hall.

Li Congwang has just turned eighteen, his body is as strong as a cow, he walks vigorously, he is not sick or painful on weekdays, and he is sick when he is sick.

Qian saw his youngest son lying on the bed with a blank face, and his heart felt like a needle pricked.

The imperial doctor came in a hurry, checked the pulse, pricked a few needles, and Li Congwang woke up faintly.

The imperial doctor's surname is Huang, and he is a little old and has been friends with Li Yingjie for many years.

I saw that he twisted his beard and carefully checked the pulse for a while, only saying that he was suffering a lot of loss inside and needed to recuperate for a while, so he gave the Hou Ye and his wife a look and went outside.

Qian understood, and after telling the maid a few words, he followed.

Imperial Physician Huang lowered his voice and said, "Xiao Dare to hide from the two, the illness of the third master of your mansion is a little strange. ”

The husband and wife chuckled in their hearts at the same time.

Qian asked: "What's wrong?" ”

Imperial Physician Huang muttered: "I can't say it, the pulse is a little strange." The old man has been practicing medicine for many years, and he has come into contact with this pulse for the first time. ”

Li Yingjie hit the nail on the head and said: "Lao Huang, is there any big problem with this child's body?" ”

Imperial Physician Huang was silent for a moment and said, "Let's see." Just one point, I need to remind Master Hou. The third master's illness has the type of kidney essence deficiency, if you want to get better, within half a year, you can't get close to women. And ......"

Imperial Physician Huang hesitated to say any more.

Li Yingjie hurriedly said: "You, between the two of us, there is anything that can't be said." ”

Imperial Physician Huang's old face was slightly unnatural, and he lowered his voice and said: "The third master has a deficiency in the kidney and yang, and the essence and blood are both lost, if you continue to indulge, I am afraid that I will ...... Hou Ye is a person who has come over, and he doesn't need to say much, and he knows the stakes and disadvantages. Moreover, the pulse of the third master of your mansion is a little weird, and the old marquis still invites a few more imperial doctors to come over and take a look. The old man is afraid of misdiagnosis. ”

Rao is a person like Li Yingjie who is used to staying in Fengyue places, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but have a blue and white face. He glanced at Qian angrily, and there seemed to be blame in his eyes.

So he ordered his subordinates to take the post and go to the hospital to find someone. Three imperial doctors in a row invited them into the door, and they said exactly the same thing as Imperial Doctor Huang.

Li Yingjie didn't take it to heart, so he ordered the imperial doctor to prescribe the medicine and ordered someone to catch the medicine.

……

Lin Xi sat in front of Li Congwang's bed, looking at his vegetable-colored face, he only felt that something was wrong in his heart, but he couldn't say what was wrong, so he had to say: "The third uncle takes care of the sick well, or what he wants to eat or use, Xiaoxi will definitely help his uncle find it." If he can't find it, Xiaoxi will go to the queen mother. ”

Li Congwang was sad at this time, and when he heard this, he smiled a little.

At this time, the Qian family came, followed by a few mothers-in-law who were half strong. Linsey stepped forward and saluted, and before he could go out of the courtyard, he heard a cry.

It turned out that Qian's trip was just to dismiss the little vixens in the yard who hooked the masters. Lin Xi listened quietly for a long time and sighed deeply.

In the house of a wealthy family, there is a risk of climbing in bed, so it is better to be a man. When the master is good, there is no need to say much, once the master has a problem, the unlucky one is the maid who climbs the bed.

……

In Changmen Palace, Empress Dowager Li looked at the people on the ground, and always felt a little familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen this person.

"Who are you, and what is the important thing to ask to see the mourners?"

The people on the ground got up and bowed slightly: "In the lower Wei State, the emperor promised that he would like to let the two countries get together with Qin and Jin." (To be continued......)
