Chapter 51: The Queen Is Not Her Biological Mother
So Lin Dai knew that he was really mistaken. Zhu Ying's big hug just now was not to have any physical pleasure with Lin Dai, but to confirm the shape of Lin Dai's body, like a good tailor to confirm the customer's body size.
"Now let the girl take a bath." Zhu Ying retreated to the side of the rockery, "If you don't like it, I won't touch you again." ”
She closed her eyes and snuggled up to the side of the rockery, as if she was dead. Until Lin Dai went out, she was turbulent again.
The maid wiped Lin Dai's body again, put on a new bathrobe, and served her back into the water pavilion, where the layout had been changed, with sandalwood silverware, magnetic pier shelves, and an extra tortoiseshell arhat bed.
The maid asked Lin Dai to lean over the bed, apply perfume to her, and massage her.
Lin Dai inexplicably remembered that the chef had smeared the stripped goose with spices, and pushed and pounded it so that the seasoning could seep in, and then it could be grilled on the fire.
Although in the sweet and splendid bushes, there were still small pimples and another layer on her skin, and finally they all faded under the skillful and resolute massage gestures of the maid.
Her body slackened of her own will, and she felt comfortable and tired, almost wanting to sleep here.
Dressed in a new dress, but it was a snow-green light shirt and long skirt, hanging a thin jade belt, and changing the blue-bottomed camel embroidered string of daylilies under her feet, and making a lazy comb bun for her, combing it with chiseled flowers and curly grass for half a moon, and dotting a grain of Baodian between her eyebrows. Dressed like this, Lin Dai is no longer a prisoner, but a young immortal who has just left the Moon Palace.
At this point, the suckling pig is ready to stop and can be roasted on the fire. But when I saw the tent door opened, it was fragrant. Wearing exquisitely, there were four dignified maids with crowns and golden flowers, with a bundle of flowers, each holding an incense ball, and a thin incense mist was released from it. When all the people in the tent saw the four men come in, they bowed down together. Lin Dai only watched, and did not stand up, let alone salute.
Since it is already a roast suckling pig, it has a privilege. Have you ever seen a roast pig turn over and bow down? Hey!
Then he saw the four men who were carrying the incense balls into the tent, and lined up on both sides, and bowed down as well. There were also two flower-haired maids in purple clothes. Mixed in a peach-shaped golden phoenix crown with big hairpins hanging on all sides, walnuts in his ears, and a red dress with curved lapels and narrow sleeves and wide sleeves, but he was known by Lin Dai, Princess Xueyi.
Everyone in the room has called the princess in unison. Lin Dai slowly stood up at this time and greeted Her Royal Highness the Princess.
The tent is not big. There were seven more people at once. It's a little crowded. The three people who originally massaged Lin Dai and served tea. Retreated back, the tent wall was erected, and the Titian ball brought by Princess Xueyi was four people. Choose a corner of each, set up the incense ball, and then behind the two princesses, the two goose wings arched, and they were properly separated for a while, the flowers and hairpins reflected each other, the cigarette smoke was like fog, and the tent was not cramped, but it was prosperous.
Princess Xueyi glanced Lin Dai up and down, and sighed, "Haggard." ”
Lin Dai said: "The princess is polite. ”
Princess Xueyi said: "Seeing is believing. You are like your aunt. ”
Lin Dai was stunned, and quickly calculated the relationship between the characters - aunt?
She knows that her aunt, in different realms, there are also aunts, aunts, and aunts, who are her mother's sisters?
Is my aunt the mother of my mother's sister? That is, Lin Xie's sisters in the Xie family? Xie Hanhagi them? Isn't that mother Mrs. Xie? Well, but Mrs. Xie is Lin Daiyu's grandmother, so it seems that it can't be counted like this......
Lin Yusheng hid in his heart and was about to pretend to be dead, but at this point, he couldn't listen to it: "It's my mother's mother's sister!" What about your common sense?! ”
Lin Dai stuck out his tongue. How can she have common sense about this complicated kinship?
So I recalculated:
Lin Xie's mother is Xie Xiaoheng's concubine. Who is this concubine's sister?
Lin Dai didn't know.
Lin Dai only knew that Lin Daiyu's face looked similar to Cui Heng's former harem beauty.
So the relationship between the characters is ......?
Lin Dai was still trying to complete the illustration of the relationship between the characters, and Princess Xueyi thought that her dementia was stagnant because she had come to an understanding, and was frightened by this result, so she confirmed to her: "Yes." Guan Liuli entered the palace. Concubine Guan Liu served as a scholar of Xie University. ”
It turns out that the surname of these two sisters is Guan, one is called Liuzhu and the other is called Liuli.
At the beginning, it was Guan Liuli who became Xie Xiaoheng's confidant. Liuli is beautiful, sexually inferior, and versatile. Xie Xiaoheng made trouble to the point of almost divorce his wife, and gave birth to the second master Xie with him. Unfortunately, Emperor Cui Heng was confused by the beauty of Guan Liuli and won Xie Xiaoheng's love. Guan Liuli entered the palace, in order to avoid people's eyes and ears, omitted the surname of Guan, and people were only called Liumei.
Out of some kind of compensation psychology, Xie Xiaoheng took Guan Liuzhu as a concubine, and the name of the concubine was not easy for others to know, and under the deliberate cover of everyone, he did not stay at all.
Lin Xie, who was born to Guan Liuzhu, is not only the same father as the second master Xie, but also a sister to his mother. But they don't know about it themselves.
Among the concubines, Mrs. Xie looked at Lin Xie differently, just to give Guan Liu Zhu face.
And Second Master Xie not only has no resemblance to Guan Liuli, but he has not even inherited Xie Xiaoheng's benefits. Xie Xiaoheng saw it in his eyes, but in his mother's face, he always had a slight preference, in order not to make Xie Xiaoheng angry, Mrs. Xie wanted to divide the authority of the family several times, but it was not good to favor the big house, until not long ago, the big house had several great achievements far better than the second room, and Mrs. Xie finally handed over the key to the big house.
Second Master Xie and Lin Xie don't look like Guan Liuli, but the strange thing is that when it comes to Lin Yusheng, they are similar again. As early as when Yusheng was young, Xie Xiaoheng heard that this was a little beauty and smart, so he paid attention, but found that Yusheng's temper was too delicate, and he might be invited for a while, but he couldn't cope with the wind and waves, let alone serve the overall situation of Xie Xiaoheng's plan, so he abandoned it.
It wasn't until Lin Dai possessed him and showed super decisiveness and endurance that Xie Xiaoheng reconsidered using her.
Lin Dai deduced here under the prompting of Princess Xueyi, and the context was finally clear.
Princess Xueyi continued: "The crown prince is absent today, and the queen is not the biological mother of the second prince. ”
It's time to talk about an heir! No matter which dynasty, the establishment of an heir is a major event. Lin Dai pricked up his ears and listened.
In terms of generation, the second prince should inherit it. But when it comes to talent, I heard that there is a fourth prince who is more reliable. It's a pity that the mother of the fourth prince is a concubine, and the last of the four concubines is still ranked by the mother because of the son. And the second prince was raised by the queen's side! But the biological mother of the second prince is said to have come from a humble background and died young. The queen is just his adoptive mother, will she really support him on the throne? The fourth prince is his own mother, and his mother's family is also powerful. Then again, Cui Heng has never liked the excessive power of his relatives......
The selection of the new prince is so entangled.
What Lin Dai heard was only peripheral news. She knew that she couldn't believe these news, so she listened to it casually, but she didn't know that Princess Xueyi directly gave her a fierce news: "Liumei is the biological mother of the second prince." ”
Lin Dai had to be dumbfounded!
Lin Yusheng was also dumbfounded for a moment, and then muttered to hide under his heart: "It's better that I died at the beginning." ”
She was clean when she died. Look at what chaos Lin Dai is getting into now.
Lin Yusheng only felt chaotic and dangerous. Lin Dai saw it...... Now it's not Xie Xiaoheng, but Princess Xueyi wants to use her beauty!
"Does the princess also think that the qualifications of the second prince are not as good as those of the fourth prince?" Lin Dai asked.
Princess Xueyi said calmly: "The inheritance of the heir is not something that we and other women can put their beaks on, and the saint has his own decision." ”
Leave herself out first. Lin Dai waited, and after it was cleared, it was the main event, the truth.
Sure enough, the conversation came: "What this palace is curious about is how Boss Lin can collude with the private salt robbers?" ”
Lin Dai had no choice but to say: "I thought they weren't bad." They can help me with my business. ”
"Why do you want to do business?" Princess Xueyi asked quickly.
"Because they don't want to follow the path that others have demarcated." Lin Dai answered faster.
Princess Xueyi liked this answer. She said to Lin Dai: "Then you-"
Lin Dai guessed: "Does she want me to help the fourth prince or the second prince?" Assuming that the emperor still has an unforgettable love for Liuli, the second prince can take advantage of this to strive for an heir. I helped the fourth prince, just to use my charm to make the emperor forget the flowing glass, and the second prince couldn't borrow the old love. To help the second prince, it is to use me to look like Liuli, so that the emperor has a better relationship with the second prince. It makes sense. Wow! Then I really matter. ”
Princess Xueyi paused for a moment, she had already thought about it so much. I wanted to stop, and Princess Xueyi lowered her head and said it, and the words were-
"It's okay for you to accompany the emperor. He is the Son of Heaven, and every step and direction must be determined by him. He's done his best, and he should have someone to talk to. ”
Hey, just pimping? Nothing else?
Lin Dai looked at Princess Xueyi and overturned the idea of being too simple.
Princess Xueyi must have other ideas, but it is hidden deeply, and it is inconvenient to expose it directly, and when she points here, Lin Dai should understand it by then.
She doesn't point it out now, because the relationship is too heavy and it's inconvenient to point it out. Just like when Lin Dai was a lawyer, many of the things he said to others could only be hinted at, not explicitly stated, otherwise it would be against the law.
And she believes that after Lin Dai goes deep into the court, he will definitely be able to understand.
What Lin Dai cares more about is not Princess Xueyi's attitude, but Xie Xiaoheng's attitude.
Didn't he want to send Lin Dai into the palace from the beginning? After Lin Dai ran around outside, he was still caught, did he have any credit for it? Why didn't he come and meet with Lin Dai?
And on top of this qiē, Lin Dai cares more about the power of the entire Die Xiaohua Salt Gang, how much of it is controlled by the imperial court? What happened to the people who were arrested with Lin Dai? How much danger are there to those who have not yet been caught?
Hateful Butterfly Xiaohua didn't tell her anything when they broke up! Didn't he know anything about it? You have to be a little speculative about communicating with her, right? Now she wanted to know something, so she had to bother to ask. (To be continued......)
