Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Other Side of the Wall
"I didn't expect it to be so soon, my mother's Xin'er has grown so big, and I'm going to be a mother soon." Mother Lin sighed from the bottom of her heart.
"Mother~ No matter how old your daughter is, she is a child in front of you, you can't dislike me~" Lin Yaxin took her mother's hand and coquettishly.
"How could a mother dislike her daughter? But you, you can't be careless in the palace, and you can't rely on the emperor's favor to act recklessly, do you know? ”
"I know, my mother told me before entering the palace, and Xin'er didn't dare to forget it for a moment."
The mother and daughter chatted like this, as if they were going to finish all the words for many years. However, time always passes by inadvertently, and an hour of work is quickly reached. In the hall, Li Yiqian saw that the time was almost up, so he asked Aunt Xing, who was guarding the door, to call them, they had to go to dinner later, and they couldn't continue to stay here.
Moreover, after all, Mother Lin is the head of the house in the Imperial History Mansion, and if she disappears for a long time, some people will definitely suspect it. Although Yushi has no real power, after all, he is also a member of the third grade, and this mansion is not necessarily clean.
Before leaving, Mother Lin begged Li Yiqian to treat her daughter well, even if she didn't like her in the future, please don't let her wither in the harem. Looking at Mother Lin's pleading eyes, Li Yiqian's heart suddenly became very soft. This kind of motherly feeling moved him deeply, so he solemnly promised to Mother Lin: "Mother-in-law, rest assured, I will spend my whole life to be good to Xin'er, I remember the grievances she has suffered over the years, and I will not dare to bear her in the future." ”
"So I'm relieved, you guys go quickly, and let Xing'er take you out the back door, be careful not to be seen." Mother Lin eagerly urged them to leave, she was afraid that she would lose control of her tears if she was a little later.
In the reluctance of Lin Mu and Lin Yaxin, they left.
Mother Lin couldn't come back to her senses for a long time when she looked at the backs of them leaving, until Aunt Xing came back and saw her staring in the direction of the door in a daze, Aunt Xing guessed what she was thinking. After all, Lin Yaxin also grew up with her, and although the affection is not as good as their mother-daughter relationship, it will not be weak.
"Madame, they are gone. Let's go back too. Aunt Xing stepped forward to support Mother Lin's arm, she felt Mother Lin's forearm trembling slightly, obviously still a little excited. Looking at her slightly red eyes, Aunt Xing sighed, "Miss is a blessed child, and she will definitely live well." When the position of the young lady is promoted again, there will be more time to see each other in the future, so don't be too sad, Madame. ”
Mother Lin listened to Aunt Xing's words, obviously figured it out, she quickly sorted out her emotions, and said to Aunt Xing with a smile: "Thank you, let's go back." ”
"Madame, don't say that, if you hadn't bought the apricots back then, maybe the apricots would have been sold to that filthy place, where would there be such a good day today." When talking about the events of the year, Aunt Xing was grateful.
She was the daughter of a scholarly family, but her mother died of blood when she gave birth to her, and later her father married a bride. After her father's death, the stepmother wanted to sell her to that kind of place to exchange her son for the money of his daughter-in-law, but she refused, and ran away halfway, and was chased all the way to the street.
"Don't think about the old things back then, the most important thing is to live the present day, you know?" Mother Lin patted her hand and motioned for her to stop talking.
Besides, Lin Yaxin couldn't help it as soon as he followed Li Yiqian out of the back door of the Imperial History Mansion. Tears couldn't stop falling, and Li Yiqian, who saw it, was very distressed. I had to hold her and keep comforting. After a while, Lin Yaxin returned to her normal mood. Thinking about his gaffe just now, he couldn't help but blush.
Li Yiqian knew that it was okay when he saw her expression, and joked with a smile: "Such an adult and so crying, if our child is born in the future, won't we have to learn from you." ”
"You talk nonsense! I don't like to cry, I'm just a little reluctant to see my mother today. After speaking, he didn't care what Li Yiqian's reaction was, and walked forward. Anyway, she knew that Li Yiqian would not let her leave alone. Sure enough, after taking two steps, she felt a big hand holding her hand and leading her slowly.
"Where are we going?" Seeing Li Yiqian pulling himself towards the downtown area, Lin Yaxin looked at him with some curiosity. The teahouse is built near the river, which is the most quiet on weekdays, and it is also in line with the mood of those literati and to taste tea. This is clearly not the way to get there.
"Where else can I go? Don't you feel hungry? Li Yiqian replied helplessly.
"I seem to be a little hungry, but the dim sum in the teahouse is delicious." Lin Yaxin unconsciously said what she thought in her heart.
"It's almost time for lunch, we can't just eat dim sum, let's go to Meixianglou, I've already told the shopkeeper Wang, we can eat directly when we arrive."
Yesterday, Li Yiqian had already planned the approximate time, Lin Yaxin is now pregnant, and eating is of course the most important thing in all activities, so he ordered the dishes early and told the shopkeeper Wang, so that they could prepare in advance.
Speaking of Meixianglou, Lin Yaxin thought of the delicacies she ate there when she left the palace last time, those are usually not eaten in the palace, she must eat enough this time! Thinking of this, she felt that her saliva was already about to flow out.
Seeing that Lin Yaxin began to wander again, Li Yiqian didn't know what to say, she could think of something else while walking, if she wasn't there, would she be lost.
When a group of three people came to Meixiang Pavilion, they were naturally entertained by the shopkeeper Wang. There were still people inside, but no one questioned it anymore when they watched the shopkeeper Wang bring people up directly, because the matter of Meixiang Pavilion last time had spread among these people, and even those who were not there that day knew that one of the rooms of Meixiang Pavilion had been surrounded by people all year round, so it must be this pair of people.
Entering the wing room, the shopkeeper Wang looked at Lin Yaxin's bulging lower abdomen, naturally guessed what was going on, and hurriedly congratulated the two masters. After Xiao Er had all the dishes, he closed the door and went out. There is also Wen Lin who left together, and as a subordinate, this bit of vision is still necessary. The emperor glanced at him inside just now, which obviously meant that he wanted to enjoy the time alone with his mother, and he was really an eyesore standing there.
Inside the house, Li Yiqian was very satisfied with Wen Lin's actions. personally took things and served rice and soup to Lin Yaxin and himself, and the two began to eat. According to his prediction, the envoys of the Eagle Kingdom should enter Beijing some time after noon, and they will not be able to catch up with the normal meal time. That's why he remembered to come to eat first, and then take a rest here, and watch the excitement by the way.
Lin Yaxin was already hungry on the way here, and when she smelled the fragrance of the food at this time, she didn't care about etiquette, so she hurriedly moved her chopsticks to eat. Li Yiqian saw it in his eyes and only felt very cute.
The time of the meal passed quickly, and Li Yiqian asked people to remove the remaining things on the table, replace them with fresh fruits and fruit tea, and chatted with Lin Yaxin without saying a word. Lin Yaxin was a little sleepy after eating. I got up a little early today, walked a lot in the morning, and she was still nearly five months pregnant, so it was normal for her to be tired at this time.
Li Yiqian looked at her drowsy appearance and asked her to sit down by herself, but he walked to the wall, I don't know where to press it, only to see that the whole wall was turning, Lin Yaxin looked at this, and suddenly sobered up a lot. Although her mind was a little chaotic, she still asked, "Dry?" ”
After Li Yiqian pushed the wall open, he walked back, picked up Lin Yaxin horizontally and walked towards the other side of the wall. Entering there, Lin Yaxin was taken aback. The layout is completely different from the one here, like a small bedroom, although it is a little small, but there are a lot of things that should be there. On top of that, there is also a bed inside.
Li Yiqian gently put Lin Yaxin on the bed and helped her take off her shoes. "Sleep, I'll call you up when the people from the Eagle Country arrive."
As soon as Lin Yaxin touched the pillow, she felt that her eyelids were already fighting, but she insisted on it because she was still thinking about other things, and when she heard Li Yiqian's words, she fell asleep with peace of mind.
Li Yiqian looked at her sleeping face and smiled very reassuringly. At that time, when he was building Meixianglou, he thought that there would be a time to rest here, so he specially asked them to make the next door to the box left for him into a bedroom in case of emergency. It's just right now. In fact, not only Meixiang Pavilion, as long as it is his industry in Huaguo, there are similar designs.
While Lin Yaxin was sleeping, Li Yiqian sat on a stool, quietly thinking about what might happen recently.
Lan Guo told Eagle Country that he was here to celebrate his birthday, but there must be other reasons behind the scenes. Lan Guo is for Gongsun Ce, so what is Eagle Country for? The crown prince of a country personally congratulated the emperor of another country on his birthday, which is rare in the history of the Three Kingdoms, not to mention that the relationship between Huaguo and the Eagle Kingdom is not good.
In his mind, based on the information collected by the Dragon Emperor, he analyzed the current situation in the Eagle Country. Although the crown prince of the Eagle Kingdom has been established now, he is not loved by the emperor, and it is only because he is the eldest that he has the title of the prince. What's more, his biological mother Empress Yuan died early, and there was no one to speak for him in front of the emperor. Coupled with the fact that her grandfather's family did not have any available talents, her amber mine was not optimistic.
And now the old emperor also seems to want to pass the throne to his successor son Nalanjie, who is also a big family from the Eagle Country, contrary to Nalansong's foreign family, the following family is full of talents, so the power behind her should not be underestimated.
Thinking about Naransong's situation, he seemed to have guessed his mind somewhat, but he couldn't be sure yet. The specific things have to be met with them before we can make a conclusion.
