Chapter Twenty-Seven: Who Are the Bones in the Lotus Dream?
Lianyi didn't answer immediately.
How to say it, she knows that she is a little petty, and the previous grandmothers and aunts, mothers, and aunts did praise the lotus flavor when they were playing cards and chatting, and blamed her: "Lian'er is also a silver partition!" If you say warm, you will be warm, and if you say cold, you will be cold! β
"Speaking of which, at this point, Lian'er is not as stable as Qiang Yun!"
In the boudoir of the rich and noble family of Datong, as well as the study of the literati and ink writers, they pay attention to "incense through the fire", and the mica and silver pieces resting on the incense ash charcoal are extremely thin and sensitive, so as to transmit the heat of the charcoal fire to the incense pills, and slowly force out the aroma in it, but the smoke is swirling and engulfed below.
Speaking of which, because she couldn't see Jinbei when she opened her eyes in the morning, Lianyi really felt helpless, and even now she is unkempt. However, this is not the reason why she feels slightly cold in her heart.
She really felt from time to time: "Jin Bei is a person who can't figure it out." β
If it's when you're in a bright mood and can't figure out a person, maybe it's fun. But at this moment, no.
According to Jin Bei, for the sake of the success of his errand, he will be loyal and thoughtful, and protect the interests of the prince and Lianyi. He is certainly credible. But his behavior of having to find out his "secret" made Lianyi feel a little scared.
Lian Yi drank the porridge seriously, and saw that the white porcelain bowl of the official kiln was about to see the bottom, so she raised her head and looked at Jin Bei and Wei Qi with her eyes, "Why don't we make a game?" β
"Good! Okay" Wei Qi rubbed his big watch and looked forward to it, Jin Bei didn't speak, just looked at Lianyi.
What kind of person Jin Bei is, he suddenly knew Lianyi's careful thoughts.
There was a fog that always stood between the two men. Lianyi is kind and simple-hearted, and after he was suddenly accepted into the palace, he depended on him. However, like a small beast at the entrance of the cave, she will suddenly shrink back when people approach.
He didn't get angry, but blamed himself a little, he must be not good enough.
For Lianyi, this is a little distressing.
Jin Bei also put on a smile, "Your Highness likes it, then try it - see who understands first between the minister and Wei Qi." β
Lian Yi put down the spoon, pushed the bowl away, and wiped his mouth, "This person has good martial arts, and he can appear in the cold palace without knowing it." β
Jin Beishuang saw that Lianyi didn't speak, Wei Qi nodded thoughtfully, "One more characteristic, one more thing!" The minister must have guessed first! β
"This person made it impossible for me to tell others what I said to him, and I didn't dare not listen."
"Huh?" Wei Qi looked confused.
"If I tell you, if that man is to blame, you will be guilty too."
Wei Qi almost jumped up again, "Who bullies people so much?" It doesn't look at our identity! β
Jin Bei covered Wei Qi's mouth with a big hand, "Your Highness, the reason why you know that the crown prince entered the Purple Cloth Guard is actually to listen to this person." β
Wei Qi's eyes flashed with light.
He broke Jin Bei's hand away, "Okay, I understand." This is a noble person who knows what God knows, I know, you know, you can't say what you can't say! β
Lianyi said "um", "In order to ensure that you really guess correctly, the person we think of is a person, let's take his name and say it according to the classification in the rhyme book, one, two, three!" β
"Eleven is true! Next Five Songs! Wei Qi replied loudly.
When it comes to reading, Wei Qi is actually stronger than Jin Bei. Jin Bei heard Wei Qi's answer, and was stunned for a while before he reluctantly reacted, and found that Lian Yi nodded at Wei Qi.
"Chen" and "Indeed", Wei Qi is right.
"Oops," Wei Qi frowned, as if he felt that the situation was serious, "and does he want you to do something?" β
"Yes, I can't say."
"Indeed, you better not speak well." Jin Bei said. "You have to make up your mind in your heart, but if you give an order, your subordinates will listen to it."
After speaking, he called someone to come in and clean up the house, and asked Lianyi to go back to the ear room to freshen up.
"What about you? Have you not rested at all? As she walked through the hallway, Lianyi asked back.
"Let's rest early tonight, it's out of the way, or let Wei Qi go to sleep first."
"Huh?" Wei Qi was running away when he heard Jin Bei say his name.
"Okay." After Lianyi finished speaking, she only took Jin Bei back to the ear room.
Finally relaxed, Lianyi tied the red silk rope on her ankle by Jin Bei, ran behind the screen, first did everything that killed her, she would not be near the case, and after grooming, she finally had some spirit and walked out.
Jin Bei came over silently and untied the rope for her.
Only then did Lianyi have the brains to ask what she heard when she drank porridge, "Jin Guard, what did Mother Xia say about Huguo Temple?" β
"It was said that Princess Rouxi was always having nightmares, so she begged the abbot master to write a signature herself. But because when she asked for a visa, Xia's mother didn't go in, and she didn't know the specifics. β
Master Huaien, the abbot of Huguo Temple, is a big man.
Back then, when Emperor Yanglu, the eldest brother of the current emperor Chen Qu, was in power, he set up a prince named Chen Huang.
Emperor Yanglu died, due to the chaos of the four Yi, the national disaster, Chen Huang was only 16 years old, young, unbearable, the second emperor brother was still alive at that time, with the support of the Empress Dowager Gao and the ministers, with the principle of "brother to brother and" to obtain the throne, is for Emperor Shujing.
Soon after Emperor Shu Jing ascended the throne, he killed his nephew Chen Huang and made his son Chen Wei the crown prince.
After just over a year, Emperor Shu Jing was seriously ill, because he was afraid of the country's instability, and finally did not pass on to the crown prince Chen Wei, but temporarily decided to pass the throne to the third brother Chen Qu again, and let Chen establish an oath that he would never hurt his nephew Chen Wei.
Chen Wei, however, has always been an unstable factor in the stability of the empire. He grew up, and in the eyes of the ill-intentioned careerists, he went from a young child to a teenager.
Even in the hearts of the people, compared with the new prince Chen Yu and Chen Wei, there seems to be a layer of tragedy and mystery.
20 years ago, Chen Qu issued a decree ordering the then 15-year-old former prince Chen Wei to become a monk and go to the suburbs of Beijing to practice in Huguo Temple and pray for the blessing of the country.
As the government gradually stabilized, Master Wynne, although still in retreat most of the time, was able to make more and more appearances, receiving high-ranking pilgrims and proclaiming the tolerance and kindness of the current Emperor Chen Qu.
Hewei met Master Wynne in private?
Jin Bei was very close to Lianyi, and asked her in a low voice: "How much does His Highness know about the abbot master of Huguo Temple?" β
Lianyi said what the women in the courtyard of Datong Deep Mansion knew, "The master is the former prince. β
"What else?"
"I don't know."
Jin Bei quietly told Lianyi about the things ahead.
After hearing this, Lianyi grabbed a handful of Jin Bei's sleeve, "Where did Chen Huang die?" β
"It is said to be the head of the palace. The bones were not found. That was 22 years ago. So, Princess Russe's dreamβ"
Jin Bei didn't continue, because he and Lianyi were both a little confused, and they both had a common question, "If Chen Huang's bones can be found, what impact will it have on the current political situation?" What is the crown princess nervous about? What does Xu Hewei run? β
Chen Huang was killed by Emperor Shu Jing. Who cares?
"It seems that Master Wynne knows something." Lianyi said, she let go of Jin Bei's sleeve.
"Hmm." Jin Bei took a step back, "What about Concubine Wei?" What do you want to do? β
Lianyi walked back to sit on the kang head, "I came to the palace, the name is not right, I didn't even meet the emperor and the queen's mother, and it was always bad to go to the old lady of Mude Palace to jump." But refused, and not good. β
Jin Bei agreed with her, "You have thought it through. But you've seen someone in the open, the Crown Princess. It's better to go to her to find out, whether to meet the queen first, or whatever, you can't wait. β
Lian thought for a moment, nodded and agreed to Jin Bei's proposal, "Okay." Speaking of the crown princess, did she ask someone to send the piano over? β
