Volume 1 Chapter 31 The concubine is going to have a birthday
In his previous life, Prince Nie admired Du Xinlei's talent very much, and it seems that this life is no exception.
Nie Linyu bit his lower lip and pondered, if Prince Nie still admired Du Xinlei in this life, then even if he didn't marry him, maybe Prince Nie would support him.
No, he must not be allowed to appreciate him.
Princess Nie was already dissatisfied and said: "Yu'er, you have no rules again, you see that you are about to meet the people, and you are still so innocent, that Du Zhuangyuan is a foreign man, and he is not related to us, what are you doing by calling his name?" ”
Nie Linyu took the opportunity to say: "It's Du Zhuangyuan who has no rules, but it's not a daughter, since everyone is not a parent, why did he come to our house to find his father to propose marriage?" ”
Princess Nie smiled, "Silly girl, there are hundreds of women in the family, not to mention you, it's normal to come to your father to propose marriage, you don't know how many people your father and I have rejected over the years." ”
Nie Lin pouted, "Those who come to propose marriage, either they are officials in the same dynasty as their father, or they are friends of our family, there is always someone who came from the beginning, like him, once he won the champion, he came to propose marriage, if I want to say, he is a man who climbs the dragon and attaches the phoenix!" ”
Bi Xi already knew about his previous life, and naturally gritted his teeth with hatred for Du Xinlei, and at this time he was on the side to help, "Princess, what the county lord said is that the county lord accidentally fell in the back garden that day, then Du Zhuangyuan saw it, and wanted to help the county lord up, don't you know if men and women are kissed, there is Miss Lin by the county lord's side, there is us, when will it be his turn." ”
Princess Nie didn't know about this matter, so she couldn't help but ask at this time: "Is there such a thing?" How did you meet him in the back garden, since there is a foreign man, how do you not know to avoid it? ”
Nie Lin lowered his eyes, "I didn't know in advance, when Lin Qingyan came, I accidentally mentioned that I wanted to see the lotus pond in our backyard, so I took her over, I didn't expect my father to be there, and there were a few scholars, but it was too late to avoid it at that time." ”
Bi Xi hurriedly said: "The county lord wants to avoid it, but he accidentally fell, but he hates that Lin Qingyan is standing next to the county lord, and he doesn't help the county lord, but also wants that Du Xinlei to help, it's just uneasy and kind." ”
Princess Nie looked solemn, "Yu'er, I have long noticed that Lin Qingyan's heart is not right, and you will have less contact with her in the future." ”
Nie Linyu thought of the previous life, and his mother had persuaded him like this, but not only did he not listen, but he also felt that his mother was prejudiced against Lin Qingyan, and privately complained that she hated the poor and loved the rich and looked down on Lin Qingyan's father was just a county magistrate, but ignored her mother's motherly heart.
Nie Linyu's eyes were red, "Mother, I know, I will never have anything to do with her in the future." ”
Princess Nie stroked her daughter's hair lovingly, "Why are you still crying, you didn't react to how many heavy words I said to you before, where did you cry, when did your skin become so thin?" ”
Nie Linyu simply threw herself into Princess Nie's arms, "Mother, I will be obedient in the future, I will listen to everything you say, and I will never disobey you again." ”
Princess Nie didn't know that the daughter in front of her had returned from a catastrophe, so she only felt funny, "Okay, don't cry, let you gag, I almost forgot to say anything serious." ”
"What's the matter?" Nie Linyu wiped a handful of tears and looked up at Princess Nie.
"At the beginning of next month, Concubine Jiulin celebrates her birthday, and the edict orders the foreign woman to enter the palace to celebrate her birthday, I will take you over, you should prepare well, and tell me as soon as possible if you lack any clothes and jewelry."
Nie Lin was taken aback, thinking how he had almost forgotten about this important event.
Concubine Lin Guifei has a respected status in the harem, she is the first of the four concubines, and her status is second only to the queen, and because the queen is seriously ill and bedridden all the year round and can't take care of things, it has always been Lin Guifei and Concubine Meng Xian who are responsible for taking care of the trivial affairs of the six palaces.
She is domineering and likes to pinch the tip to be strong, and she has to compete for the first place in everything, Concubine Meng Xian is kind, and she is kind and refuses to fight with her, so that although the two of them are nominally taking care of the harem together, in fact, Lin Guifei is the master alone.
And it was in this year that the emperor suddenly issued an edict that Concubine Lin had a birthday, and the foreign women entered the palace to congratulate her.
Nie Linyu deliberately made a puzzled look, "I have never let people enter the palace to congratulate a concubine on her birthday, why did the emperor suddenly act like this?" ”
The emperor's birthday is called Wanshou Festival, and the queen's birthday is called the Qianqiu Festival.
Although Lin Guifei has a noble word in her title, she is only a concubine, even if she is in charge of the harem for another hundred years, her birthday is not qualified to let the wives of the ministers kowtow to her.
That's what only a queen of a country can enjoy.
So Nie Linyu had to ask this, if she didn't ask, Princess Nie would be suspicious.
Princess Nie sighed, "The queen is seriously ill, it is said that she is about to die, and it is rumored that Lin Guifei is going to be the successor, originally your father said that there is no such possibility, but now it seems that it is difficult to say." ”
Nie Linyu knew that Concubine Lin couldn't be the queen.
But she knew that it was useless, and she had to let Prince Nie and Princess Nie know about it, so Nie Linyu asked tentatively, "Then Daddy also thinks that Concubine Lin can be the successor now?" ”
Princess Nie nodded, "It is a big deal for a foreign woman to enter the palace to celebrate her birthday, if it weren't for the emperor having made up his mind, he wouldn't have made this will, your father told me in private that it is also a good thing for Lin Guifei to be the queen, so that there is a concubine, and the court and the central government don't have to fight." ”
Nie Lin was silent.
Now that the emperor is old, the queen has no son, and it seems impossible to have another son, so the adult princes are busy fighting for power and profit, while the ministers are busy standing in line, and the court is in a miasma.
Prince Nie is a pure minister, he has always been loyal to the emperor, and it is good when the emperor is there, but if the emperor dies once, the first one who is disliked by the new emperor is the first emperor pure minister like his father.
Nie Linyue couldn't help but sigh faintly, in this life, he must persuade his father, he can't let him just be a pure minister, he must always plan for the future.
If Lin Guifei can become the queen, and what Nie Wang Ye said will be grateful, Lin Guifei's mother and son will be grateful, but Nie Linyu knows clearly that Lin Guifei, the queen, will never be able to be.
The seizure of the throne by the DPRK and China will continue for a long time.
But how can he convince his father, Nie Linyu frowned slightly.
Princess Nie glanced at her daughter strangely, "What's wrong with you?" Your dad is there for everything, so you don't have to worry. ”
"But didn't Daddy think about which prince to support? If none of them are supported, in case the emperor ...... Aren't we going to suffer? ”
Princess Nie disagreed, "I don't understand the affairs of the court, but your father always has his reasons for doing things, so don't worry." ”
