Chapter 82: Jealousy
"The concubine naturally knows, Niangniang, we may be able to take advantage of this matter!"
The queen was silent, Mrs. Zhu looked at her with some anxiety, and after a while, the queen said, "Even if it's true, so what?" Bixia may not be held accountable! "If nothing else, it can be seen just from the emperor's favor for Yulin. Mrs. Zhu heard a hint of giving up from the queen's words, and grabbed the queen's hand almost rudely: "Niangniang, we don't have much left!" β
It's not much, that's why she will grab anything she wants to grasp, the queen's eyes are a little inexplicable, Mrs. Zhu put down the hand that grabbed the queen and said softly: "Niangniang, concubine ......"
"Say no more!" The queen closed her eyes and looked tired, which made Mrs. Zhu a little anxious, if she could win Princess Yongle over, then the princess of Qin would lose a lot of help, and even, Liu Jinsong might be on the side of the Zhu family. Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhu complained in her heart about the Wei family, if it wasn't for the Wei family to do too much, she might not be able to let Liu Jinsong come back, but now, everything is so late, only to seize all this.
"Niangniang, the concubines don't know, but the Zhu family shares the honor and disgrace with Niangniang!" Mrs. Zhu's words made the queen open her eyes, and then sighed: "What my father said last time didn't do it!" "It's not so easy to contact Qingtang, although Mrs. Zhu doesn't know the specific thing, but there are beads of sweat on her forehead, and she kneels down to salute the queen: "The concubine doesn't know what the mother and the old prince are talking about, but the concubine knows that the Zhu family lives and dies with the mother!" β
Is life and death together? This is a threat, the queen couldn't help but hook her lips and smile, Mrs. Zhu, who looked at this smile, couldn't help but tremble, and then the queen said lightly: "I still have the prince, don't forget this!" β
"!" Mrs. Zhu saluted again: "The Zhu family is willing to be the arm of the prince, Niangniang, the Zhu family and Niangniang, and the prince, are broken bones and tendons, if the Zhu family falls, what glory will there be on the face of the mother?" β
"Shut up!" The queen snorted lightly, Mrs. Zhu fell to the ground, and after a while the queen said: "That's it, I'll try this zuihou again, if it doesn't work, then ......" The queen didn't finish speaking, but Mrs. Zhu didn't have the joy of success, but with panic: "Niangniang!" β
"You have to remember one thing, I don't have the Zhu family, I am still the queen, the queen mother of another day, but if the Zhu family doesn't have me, then ......" The queen's words were still not finished, Mrs. Zhu raised her eyes to look at the queen, and bowed down again: "The concubine represents the Zhu family, thank you for your great kindness!" β
The queen didn't speak, but tiredly motioned to Mrs. Zhu to go down, and Mrs. Zhu saluted again and pushed out. The grandmother who was accompanying the queen had already stepped forward to serve tea to the queen: "Niangniang, this matter, even if it is true, Bixia will not pursue it!" β
"Yes, royal secrets, insiders," the word death came out of the queen's mouth, and she didn't say it for a long time. Mama already understood, and when she saw that the queen didn't take the tea, she put the tea bowl aside: "But Niangniang, why do you still agree?" β
"What if you don't say yes? If you don't agree, do you have to sit back and watch the Zhu family decay like this? If you really want to do what Bixia thinks, the princess of Qin will definitely not let go of the Zhu family! The Zhu family is the place where I was born! Even me, she may not let it go! The queen's voice had already brought panic that was not present at the others, and the grandmother hurriedly comforted her: "Niangniang, no, you are the biological mother of the prince, and the prince has always been generous and filial!" β
"It is because of his generosity, benevolence and filial piety that he will be at the mercy of others! Instead of the person who manipulated him, it was someone else, but the person who manipulated him was someone from the Zhu family, and they were also blood relatives! The queen told the deepest secret in her heart, which made Mama's body tremble, and the sentence that the princess of Qin was also a blood relative of the prince still didn't come out, but said: "Although Niangniang thinks so, but Bixia is there, will she be angry with Niangniang?" β
βbixiaοΌβ There was sadness in the queen's voice: "Bixia has no affection for me for a long time, or rather, Bixia has no affection for every woman in this palace." Whether they are beautiful or ugly, gentle, pungent or otherwise, they are just the shadow of that person. The shadow of that Qingtang! β
"!" Mama was startled, and the tears in the queen's eyes finally flowed out: "You say, in my life, can't I live a little bit with my eyebrows raised?" gave birth to children for him, ran the harem, and was a mother in the world, a good mother in the world, but he was just an empty shell, and he never treated me as a woman. All he looks at is another woman. even went to great lengths to let that woman's daughter ascend to the highest position, why, on what ground? β
Fortunately, in this hall, there are only the queen and this grandmother, and this grandmother saw that the doors and windows did not move before saying: "Niangniang, this man's heart is not understood." Empress! β
"I can't fight that shadow, can't I fight that shadow's daughter? Illegitimate, vainly called princesses, one is like this, and two are still like this! What has become of this palace? The queen vented the anger in her heart to the fullest, the anger that had been suppressed for many years, and thought that she would soon see hope, her son ascended the throne, became the queen mother, and became the highest woman in the entire dynasty, but Bixia He still did something else, so that the woman's daughter would not be wronged, and even made an exception for her to assist the government.
The chicken is not good for the world. At this time, these eight words, like the queen's life-saving straw, must be like this, must be like this, for what they are for, for the sake of the country, for the orthodoxy!
"Tomorrow, let's pass on the concubine Lin of Wu Wangfu to enter the palace!" After all, the queen is the queen, after a short period of anger, she quickly regained her calm, this indifferent words made Mama a little surprised, but soon said: "Niangniang, Lin's family, may not be willing to listen to Niangniang!" β
"I know!" The queen interrupted Mama's words, her face heavy and indifferent: "Even if I want to know, what the Lin family thinks in their hearts." "Jealousy, only jealousy can make a person not like herself, the queen will never believe that the Lin family will be indifferent when she hears that Princess Yongle's biological mother is likely to be alive.
"Thank you for the banquet, the concubine should go back!" After having lunch with the queen and swimming through the garden, the Lin family was about to say goodbye, the queen smiled calmly, waved back and said to the Lin family: "There is a saying, it has been in my heart for many years!" β
"If the mother has something to say, the concubine should have obeyed!" The Lin family was still respectful, and the queen hummed and said: "You should have been the step-concubine of King Wu at the beginning, but out of the selfishness of King Wu, this made you succumb to the position of side concubine." After all these years, I have wronged you! β
Could it be that the royal family intends to make herself a step-concubine, Lin's heart began to beat a little fast, but he still held back and said to the queen: "The prince treats the concubine very well, these things, the concubine dare not think about it and can't think about it!" β
"Sure enough, the Lin family's tutor is excellent!" The queen praised a sentence before saying: "Originally, I wanted to make Bixia a word and make you the concubine of King Wu as soon as possible, but some of the words I have heard recently are not good for this!" β
Lin was first happy and then stunned: "I don't know what Niangniang said? β
"Yulin's biological mother!" These words made the Lin family even more confused: "What Niangniang said, the concubine doesn't understand!" β
"When King Wu was seriously injured and lying on the bed, he sent his henchmen and inner servants to greet Yulin, and he didn't alarm the place!" The queen's words explained the Lin family's long-standing doubts, it turned out that Yulin's biological mother was really a country village girl, a country village girl, what kind of beauty should be in the city, so that King Wu would be moved, and he would never be tempted by other women from now on? Lin couldn't help but touch her face, she had a good look, and she was still beautiful when she was nearly thirty years old!
This action did not escape the queen's eyes, she smiled faintly and said: "What I heard is that Xu Tanhua, who resigned from the marriage, his mother is somewhat similar to Yulin. Coincidentally, this Mrs. Xu is also Mrs. Wu's sister. The words are only said here, there is no need to say more, Lin can figure out the key after a little thought, and asked in a low voice: "Could it be that Xu Tanhua is the ...... of the prince?"
"Xu Tanhua is only twenty this year, and when she was conceived, King Wu was lying in bed! Can't sit up yet! The queen's words were very understatement, but they were tantamount to setting off a storm in the Lin family's heart. In this case, that woman didn't guard her chastity for King Wu? How can there be such a ridiculous thing in the world.
"Originally, a few years ago, I told King Wu that I can't wronged you anymore, and I should be right, originally King Wu was moved, but then I pressed it again!" These words made Lin's heart more and more sad and angry, it turned out that he worked so hard, was he not as good as the woman? And she is a woman who refuses to keep her chastity.
Lin tried hard to calm down and not let himself lose his manners, and the queen had already said again: "This matter, I didn't want to tell you originally, but after hearing about it, I think I should tell you, after all, it is you who have been serving and accompanying King Wu for so many years!" β
Lin suppressed himself and got up to salute: "Thank you, concubine!" The queen kindly helped her up: "If you are in the people, you and I are still concubines, how can you be so polite!" Just now you said you want to go back, I'll let someone send you back! "The Lin family should be, but the footsteps are heavy and can't be lifted, so ridiculous, King Wu has been hanging the throne of the concubine for many years for a woman who refuses to keep her chastity.
The Lin family set off a turbulent wave in his heart, trying to calm himself down, thinking about what the queen meant, Lin suddenly pushed the waiter away, turned around and walked to the queen: "Niangniang, what does Niangniang want the concubine to do?" β
It's good and smart. The queen smiled again, and then said, "You know, the Lin family and the Zhu family are in-laws!" It is said that the Lin family should support the Zhu family unconditionally, but the Lin family is an old fox, and they are only watching and refuse to make a clear statement.
Lin understood what the queen meant, and said in a low voice: "But the concubine is already a married girl!" β
"What if, let you become the step-concubine of King Wu? The Lin family doesn't want a daughter to be just a concubine of King Wu, right? The queen whispered in Lin's ear that the concubine of King Wu did not need King Wu's consent, but because of the deep brotherhood between King Wu and the emperor, she inquired about King Wu several times. When the will of the Son of Heaven arrives at the house, King Wu will also accept it.
Become a concubine, and from now on, you can be dignified in front of King Wu, instead of a side concubine, you always have to be wronged. Let brothers and sisters and even nephews and nieces not be ashamed of themselves, this is Lin's long-standing dream, originally, Lin wanted to realize this dream through his own gentleness and thoughtfulness. But now, with just a nod of your head, you can make that dream come true. Lin felt that he was about to lose his breath, and his heart was beating wildly.
Why did you forget, the queen also has the right to decide this matter, Lin looked at the queen and felt that her voice didn't look like her own: "Niangniang's meaning, the concubine understands, the concubine will convince her father and brother!" The queen smiled: "Wait for the good news!" β
Lin saluted again and left with the waiter, the queen's wrist flipped, whether it was King Wu or Bixia, after all, she still didn't understand a woman's heart, let alone what a woman's jealousy could do.
"Today, Niangniang summoned you to the palace, and you are tired of accompanying her, so you don't have to serve in front of me again!" King Wu looked at Lin, his voice still indifferent.
"Niangniang is a kind person, the concubine is not tired, and it is almost the end of the year, and the concubine is also thinking, how to celebrate the New Year this year!" Lin looked at King Wu, his voice was still gentle, and his expression didn't move a bit, but he couldn't calm down in his heart. After so many years of companionship, whether it is true or false, the Lin family really regards King Wu as his husband, not a man who has to marry under the edict.
Even if he has a leg disease, King Wu is still a very handsome man. It is a man that the Lin family will be tempted by, but unfortunately, this man has never been tempted by himself.
"Haven't you washed the ink off my face? You look at me like that? King Wu touched his face with his hand and pushed the wheelchair to get the mirror, Lin hurriedly picked up the mirror and handed it to King Wu: "The prince's face is very clean, just now you said that you have ink on your face, what is going on?" β
"When I was practicing calligraphy today, Xiao Shu'er came to me and clamored to practice calligraphy, I gave her the pen, and she threw it everywhere, and I was covered in ink. This naughty child, when he goes back, he will be trained by Yulin again! Speaking of his granddaughter, King Wu's face was full of kind smiles, this smile was so intoxicating, Lin looked at King Wu, his eyes were more gentle: "Yes, Xiao Shu'er has also grown up slowly, if Sister Yang is still alive, how happy it should be!" β
King Wu put away his smile, the expression on his face changed slightly, and the Lin family hurriedly lowered his head: "The concubine lost her words, but she just remembered that Yulin had no biological mother just after the full moon, and there was always a little ......."
"You shouldn't ask about these things, and you shouldn't care about them, go back!" King Wu's words completely disappointed the Lin family, and when he got up to salute, he finally asked: "Lord Wang, is the concubine so bad?" β
"You're fine, it's just ......" You are not that person, this sentence King Wu didn't say after all, and changed his words: "Don't think about those gossips, you just said that the New Year is coming, this year with more silver, do it well." β
Lin Ying was, even more disappointed in his heart, and said when he walked to the door: "The concubine wants to go back to her parents' house tomorrow!" β
"If you want to go back, go back. Bring more gifts and greet your parents, brothers and sisters-in-law for me! "Gifts, gold, silver, jewelry, glory and wealth, seem to break people's hearts, and they can be compensated for in this way. Lin Shi felt that his heart was cold, so he withdrew after that, and the maid waiting outside the door immediately greeted him: "The wind is a little strong, side concubine, be careful of your body!" β
His own body, how could it be so sad, Lin took the cloak handed by the maid, put it on but didn't want to speak, the maid sent the hand stove again, Lin walked to the gate of the courtyard and looked back, still can't be kept, in this life, is it really like this?
Small snow droplets fell from the sky, and the maid sighed and said, "There is more snow this year than last year, and next year's harvest will be good!" Lin couldn't hear anything, only felt sorry for himself. There was a child's laughter in front, Lin looked up, and saw Yulin walking over with Xiao Wangshu in his arms, Xiao Wangshu was still twisting in Yulin's arms, and he wanted to come down.
The maids on both sides stopped and saluted, and when Yulin saw the Lin family, she smiled and said, "Aunt Lin came from Daddy's side?" I was about to take Xiao Shu'er to say goodnight to my father, Xiao Shu'er, a naughty child, was about to come down and run when she saw the snow! β
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Wangshu had already slipped off Yulin's body, ran to Lin in a few steps, grabbed the hem of her skirt with his hand, and asked in a milky voice: "Aunt Lin, I want to see snow!" β
The nurse beside Yulin had already stepped forward to pick up Xiao Wangshu: "Miss, this is an aunt, not Aunt Lin!" Xiao Wangshu shook his head: "My mother is also called Aunt Lin!" β
"Mother is different from your name!" Yulin took Xiao Wangshu over, explained with a smile, and then said to Lin: "This kid is getting more and more naughty!" Looking at the comfortable smile on Yulin's face, the Lin family has never been jealous of Yulin like this moment, why can she have everything, who doesn't know Princess Yongle's concubine, and Princess Yongle's grace. They still have such a lovely child, if the Lin family can also have a child, maybe they won't be so sad.
The change in Lin's complexion made Yu Lin notice, and she asked strangely, "Aunt Lin, what's wrong with you?" β
"It's nothing, maybe I'm too tired at my mother's place, I'll go back and rest first!" Lin replied vaguely, Yulin didn't study it in detail, so he led people to continue walking, and he could hear the laughter from Xiao Wangshu far away.
Lin pressed his hand to his chest, so that he could feel better, instead of letting the raging fire of jealousy extinguish him.
"Aunt Lin is a little different from usual today!" Xiao Wangshu played with King Wu for a while, and then began to feel sleepy, Yulin handed the child to the nurse and asked her to take it back, and then whispered to King Wu.
"The queen is just afraid of what she said to your Aunt Lin." King Wu said indifferently.
Such indifference made Yulin frown: "Daddy! Aunt Lin thought about it carefully, and she was also a little ......"
"Pathetic, huh? Yulin, do you remember what I asked you, is it worth exchanging a lifetime of loneliness for a lifetime of glory and wealth? Yulin, I also told you, I can give it to her, that's all! These words made Yulin unable to speak anymore, but sighed lightly.
"In this world, even the rich Son of Heaven has things that he can't get what he can't ask for, let alone you and me?" Yulin didn't speak for a long time, and only after half a ring did she say, "Daddy's heart is still hard!" β
"That's because my heart has been given a long time ago, and now although I have let it go, there are some things that I still can't forget!" Those unforgettable days hovered in King Wu's mind all the time.
Yulin sighed lightly, and then said, "But Daddy, what did the queen and Aunt Lin say, will it ......?"
"Yulin, you have grown up, and there are many things that you have to face by yourself, instead of letting me help you anymore!" King Wu's words did not discourage Yulin, she rested her chin on her lap: "I know, Daddy, I know!" β
There was a long silence in the room again, the sound of snow outside was getting louder and louder, Yulin listened to the sound of snow, and the corners of her lips began to smile, as long as she didn't care, what could hit her, even if the name that could no longer be remembered came to her mind again, Yulin thought that one day, she would face her calmly with a smile, instead of panicking or being depressed!
The Lin family returned to the Lin family on the second day, although the Lin family said for a long time, but the father and brother were still unmoved, and even persuaded the Lin family, King Wu has treated the Lin family very well, so why should the name difference pool care so much, after all, the Lin family accepts this fact, has accepted it for more than ten years, and has to wait, and wait for the matter to be decided, and then consider which side to stand. After all, the Lin family and both sides have in-law ties.
Such an answer made Lin helpless, and the tears on the car back were like springs, and his mother's family finally gave up on himself.
This kind of answer makes the queen very dissatisfied, but no matter how dissatisfied she is, she can't reverse it, seeing that it is about to be the end of the year, and the people sent to Qingtang should also come back, I don't know, what they brought back is good news or bad news, Old Lady Zhu is not good to enter the palace again, let her daughter-in-law take the opportunity to enter the palace to ask about Princess Yongle's life experience, when should it happen, how should it happen?
The queen didn't understand how they were going to have an attack, but such a royal secret, if it happened like something else, was likely to backfire on itself, and this was definitely not what the queen wanted to see. After thinking about it, the queen still summoned Yulin into the palace.
Entering the palace is not a rare thing for Yulin, Yulin has visited the queen, the queen and her smiled and said a few common words, and the palace maid came in and said: "Niangniang, Mrs. Wu has come to see her!" β
Mrs. Wu? Yulin's eyebrows couldn't help frowning slightly, and the queen patted Yulin's hand with a smile: "Mrs. Wu has always been your nanny for more than ten years, and she is also very careful, you are angry with her for the affairs of the Xu family, although it is common sense, but she is also affected by the fish in the pond." Last time I heard that you went to send a congratulatory gift to the Xu family, thinking that your heart is always soft, I simply invited her to be a peacemaker for you! β
When she spoke, Mrs. Wu and her party had already come in, and when they saw that Yang Molan was also there, Yulin's surprise couldn't be hidden, and the queen still smiled calmly: "Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Xu are sisters, if you want to make peace, it is better to invite all their sisters in and make peace together!" β
"Auntie is really thoughtful!" Yulin quickly put away the surprise that flashed on her face, and said to the queen with a smile.
"You have no mother since you were a child, these things, you always have to think more for me!" When the queen spoke, she didn't forget to take a closer look at the changes in the expressions of the three of them!
The author has something to say: The emperor's true love is Jiangshan Sheji!
