The emperor thinks about what Concubine Yi said makes sense, the prince has made frequent mistakes during this time, and he has made small moves, the emperor has not considered whether the prince is really a qualified heir to the throne, but no matter whether the emperor inherits the position to the prince in the future, at least now is not the time when the prince can overstep his authority.

In addition, the emperor made Lu Guiren impetuous, and he was very unhappy, so he had no emotion when he spoke, and directly questioned Concubine Lin.

"Your Majesty!" Concubine Lin screamed, frightened and angry, she didn't speak, tears flowed out of her eyes first, knelt on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, how can you wronged your concubines without evidence, although the concubines are stupid, how can they make such harmful and selfish means, the concubines have accompanied the emperor for decades, even if they have no merit and hard work, now the emperor is going to slander the concubines with Concubine Yi's words, and the concubines are also dissatisfied!" ”

Concubine Yi covered her lips with silk silk and pursed her lips, and said softly: "Yes, Your Majesty, Sister Concubine Lin is the most outspoken person on weekdays, and she can't hide things, judging from the concubines, my sister will never do this, besides, the crown princess is now pregnant, how can my sister, a mother-in-law, do things that damage yin morality." ”

The emperor's eyes were deep and cold, the crown princess was pregnant, and Concubine Lin had more reason to deal with the fetus in Sang Zhaoyuan's womb!

Concubine Yi knew that there was no conclusive evidence today, and the emperor would not really take Concubine Lin well, but as long as he buried a thorn in his heart, and used this thorn to stab Concubine Lin from time to time in the future, it would be enough for the emperor to be suspicious of the East Palace.

Sure enough, Emperor Sen looked at Concubine Lin coldly for a while, then stood up with a lift of his robe, and said to Concubine Jin: "The others will be dealt with when the result is known, and I will go to Heming Terrace first." ”

At this time, the crane song platform should have gathered all the civil and military generals and their families, the emperor and the concubine did not appear for a long time, it must have attracted a lot of discussions, and the matter was temporarily resolved, and the garden party still had to be opened.

Everyone who has been on the crane stage for a long time has been enjoying the singing, dancing and singing, and after waiting for a long time, they are all wondering why the emperor has not appeared yet, is something wrong?

Lin Yuanxiu coughed up a handful of melon seed skins and threw them on the table, and bumped Mrs. Yan Xiao Hongmei next to her with her shoulder, "Hey, Meimei, where is your little back?" ”

Xiao Hongmei's friendly face tilted her head slightly, shook her head and said, "After entering the palace, they separated, and I didn't see it." ”

"These wild boys ......" Lin Yuanxiu smacked his tea, and pursed his red lips, "If you want me to say it, you owe a fierce woman, and you are becoming more and more lawless all day long." ”

Xiao Hongmei glanced at her teasingly: "Now it's what the mother said." ”

"Come on." Lin Yuanxiu blew on the tea bowl, "Meimei, don't be hungry, you don't know that you are hungry, you have a nephew and daughter who doesn't have to worry about Xiaohui's relatives, ouch, that little madman in my family is worried about me, and his hair is gray." ”

Xiao Hongmei's upper eyelids flew, and she looked at the top of Lin Yuanxiu's head with concern: "How many?" ”

Lin Yuanxiu stretched out two fingers and rolled his eyes again: "Isn't that the point!" ”

Xiao Hongmei sat back, her back pressed against the back of the chair, swept over the wives and nobles of other families at a glance, picked out a piece of jujube paste osmanthus cake from the plate and handed it to Lin Yuanxiu, "Xin'er is going to get married." ”

Lin Yuanxiu's eyes moved slightly, and she understood what Xiao Hongmei meant, she thought that Xiao Hongmei had been taking Fang Xin with her side on purpose to point it out to Yan Hui, it didn't look like that, she took a bite of the pastry, leaned over and said, "What do you mean?" ”

"It's not appropriate." Xiao Hongmei lowered her head and drank tea, she knew that Lin Yuanxiu had some nerves in some aspects, so she didn't find that Fang Xin was interested in Chu Feng, in her opinion, Chu Feng's child looked dissolute, but he actually had an idea, if Lin Yuanxiu messed with mandarin ducks, I was afraid that the Chu family would be restless.

Lin Yuanxiu originally wanted to ask a few more questions, but because of the current occasion, he didn't say much, he clapped his hands after eating the pastry, looked at the dancer in the hall who twisted her waist and waved her wide sleeves, and drank tea with no interest, "Meimei, did you say that it was a little late today." "Why haven't the emperor and the concubine appeared yet.

Xiao Hongmei looked at the sun outside, her brows frowned slightly, she also felt strange, not to mention the emperor, even her Yanhui didn't know where to go, because Yanhui had always been a measured person, she was even more worried about whether something had happened.

But...... Xiao Hongmei glanced at the second prince Duan Wang, who was talking and laughing in front of him, the prince who was a little low-key today, and the other important ministers, except for King Jing, who was not there, even King Chun also came over just now, as if there was nothing to do.

"It should be soon." Xiao Hongmei replied to Lin Yuanxiu, and when she was about to say something, there was some movement around her, she turned her head, and the beautiful woman opposite smiled at her, Xiao Hongmei also looked back politely with a smile, "Mrs. Shen." ”

Lin Yuanxiu put down the half-peeled chestnut and raised her head, and saw that it was a middle-aged woman with a melon seed face, with delicate and white skin, curved eyes, and a small and straight nose.

Mrs. Shen Lin Yuanxiu in Xiao Hongmei's mouth can't be contacted, but she also knows each other, there are so many famous officials in the capital, and there are constant banquets all year round, and there will always be times when they meet, most of them are familiar with each other and sit together to chat and drink tea, and as for the others, they all have nodding friends.

Mrs. Shen is the wife of Marquis Shen of the Marquis of Zhongyong's Mansion, this Marquis Shen is rare and not very keen on women, a total of one wife and two concubines, Mrs. Shen gave birth to two sons Shen Qing and Shen You, a daughter Shen Yue, and another named Aunt Liu died within two years after giving birth to a concubine Shen Xing, and there is one who has nothing to do, so the Shen family can be regarded as a simple population among the high-ranking families in the capital.

Lin Yuanxiu moved back, and saw that after Mrs. Shen sat down, a little girl about thirteen or fourteen years old next to her sat next to Mrs. Shen on her right hand, the little girl who had just taken off her rose red fox collar hat and cloak was wearing an apricot gold silk embroidered long skirt, her eyebrows and eyes were flexible and revealing a little playful, her face was three points delicate and three points proud, her eyes were slightly long and not like Mrs. Shen's round eyes, they were more sharp, her eyes were dripping around, I didn't know what to say to Mrs. Shen, Mrs. Shen patted her arm and pursed her lips and laughed, and affectionately backhand bent knuckle bone knocked on her forehead, the little girl pouted as if she was coquettish, no matter who saw it, it was a warm scene of mother-daughter intimacy.

After Xiao Hongmei turned around, Lin Yuanxiu leaned over, lowered her voice and pouted in the direction of Mrs. Shen: "Oh, it looks like it's biological." ”

It turned out that the girl who was so close to Mrs. Shen was not her biological daughter Shen Yue, but Shen Xing from Aunt Liu, who was two years younger than Shen Yue, and now she is fourteen, and she will be married soon.

"Don't talk about right and wrong behind people's backs." Xiao Hongmei glanced at Mrs. Shen from the corner of her eye, but fortunately, the mother and daughter were eager and didn't pay much attention to others.

Lin Yuanxiu said with a smile: "I'm talking about this in front of people, so I don't violate morality." ”

Xiao Hongmei is very helpless about Lin Yuanxiu's crooked reasoning, she always has a set of rhetoric and other people are poor in words, except for facing Chu Wangzhi, it is Lin Yuanxiu's turn to be deflated.

"Meimei, have you heard, a while ago, the Shen family and the eldest daughter of the Liu Imperial Envoy family were talking about marriage, but somehow there was no movement, I see that Mrs. Shen came so late today and her complexion is not very good, it doesn't look good." When Lin Yuanxiu got tired of eating pastries, he began to peel chestnuts one by one.

Xiao Hongmei naturally heard a little about this, the current Hou Ye Shen Zhongwen of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion held a low position in the previous dynasty, but he had the hereditary position of his ancestors, and he finally raised a little façade, and marrying Liu Yushi was also a good match, and even Liu Yushi could be regarded as a high climber, after all, his daughter married the wife of the prince in the past, and the future Mrs. Hou.

Originally, Liu Yushi's family was about to nod, but I didn't know what I heard later, and the marriage was delayed again, Xiao Hongmei lowered her head and took a sip of tea, the green tea was fragrant and sweet, and after circulating between the lips and tongue, it slid into the throat, and a tea fragrance diffused from the lips and teeth.

Lin Yuanxiu chewed chestnuts, his eyes turned slightly, and suddenly approached Xiao Hongmei and said, "Hey Meimei, did you say it was because of the Shen family's daughter." ”

The daughter of the Shen family is naturally Shen Yue, with two brothers in front of her, after Shen Yue was born, it can really be said that the stars hold the moon, and the delicate female doll has been cared for by the Shen Mansion, and Shen Yue has not lived up to this name, she has been born since she was a child, with red lips and white teeth, a standard little beauty, not only looks like Mrs. Shen, but also has the same temperament and talent.

Mrs. Shen was also a famous talented woman when she was young, Shen Yue was like her, she showed the attributes of a talented woman from a very young age, she was well-written in poetry and songs, and she was proficient in calligraphy, painting, piano and chess.

It's a pity that this talented girl finally died before she could be born, and the seven-year-old Shen Yue had a strange illness, and after the illness recovered, she was blind, and she could no longer speak, and became a dumb and blind person.

Mrs. Shen felt sorry for her daughter, and after the mother and daughter hugged their heads and cried for a few days, Mrs. Shen, who fainted, was sent back to her yard by Shen Houye, and it was also that day that Mrs. Shen suddenly suffered from heart disease, and later every time Mrs. Shen saw Shen Yue, she always had a heart attack, and then Shen Houye did not let Mrs. Shen often go to Shen Yue's yard.

coincided with the death of Aunt Liu in the second year, and Shen Xing, who was only five years old, had no one to take care of her, and at the same time, in order to alleviate Mrs. Shen's heart disease, Shen Xing was raised under Mrs. Shen's knees.

The entire Shen Mansion was consciously avoiding talking about Shen Yue, as if their Shen family did not have such a person as Shen Yue, and Mrs. Shen also began to treat Shen Xing as her own daughter, no matter where she went to the banquet, she was inseparable.

"It's strange and pitiful, I heard that I have been locked up in the yard all the time, and I have never left the house for ten years, this person must be stupid." Lin Yuanxiu's two fingers were slightly forced, and with a crisp 'click~', the chestnut shell was divided into two halves by her, she picked open the chestnut shell and took the inside and stuffed it into Xiao Hongmei's mouth, and took another one to peel it, "This person is also strange, his own daughter doesn't care about it, and it hurts to pin another woman's birth on the waistband of her pants, how chilling do you say that girl is." ”
