Chapter 121: Shadows
Emperor Tianlong will make trouble for the part of the country, although it can't be said that Hongyan did the trouble. But the leap of a beautiful dancer to the sky did play a big role. A ride on the red dust concubine smiled, no one knew that it was lychee!
The so-called, for the sake of a woman, the king will not be early in the dynasty, and it is not just a matter of saying it out of thin air. Emperor Tianlong is just an ordinary man, and when he meets a woman who can seduce him, he can't control his trouser belt.
When the emperor Chrysostom opened, but a quarter of an hour ago was a very humble dancer, she became a concubine with glory and wealth, and her wish to climb the dragon and the phoenix was suddenly realized, and the dancer almost cried with joy and knelt on the ground to thank her.
People's hearts will change, and the dancer who is still simple-minded at this time, who would know that she will become less popular in the future?
Emperor Tianlong has a newcomer and forgets the old, and in the public, he has already pampered the dancing girl. In comparison, those old concubines who used to save them can only be relatively bleak.
The dancing girl is humble and called the golden lotus. On a whim, Emperor Tianlong gave her a surname and made her a righteous daughter to a minister surnamed Pan in the court. The minister was so miserable that he had to accept the lowly dancing girl Jin Lian and recognize her as her daughter.
The emperor and the newcomer who has just been crowned a lotus concubine are kind to me and I love you, if there is no one around, jealous people abound.
Among them, Yin Qiang, the former high-ranking imperial concubine, may be one of the more typical representatives.
The imperial concubine with infinite honor, just because she hindered the emperor's intimacy, she had to give up her seat to a dancer who was like a plaything, and Lin Qiantan also wanted to know what kind of humiliation Yin Qiang was in her heart at this time.
Lin Qiantan injured her hand, which was originally given by Yin Qiang. I haven't been able to take care of her before, but now that I look back, I can liquidate and liquidate.
The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Yin Qiang will not sit idly by and watch Pan Jinlian easily gain a foothold in the harem. And Concubine Pan is not stupid. She will also use lightning speed to find courtiers for support.
In her last life, she did just that.
It's just that this cost-effective deal in this life will not be the responsibility of the second prince who sacrifices the beauty, but will be cut off by her Lin Qiantan.
The second prince also didn't expect that he didn't have much hope to get the praise of Emperor Tianlong with a few dancing girls. Emperor Tianlong was happy this time, not only generously praised the filial piety of the second prince, but also gave the second prince a powerful errand.
The fifth prince looked at the second prince beside the second prince, he was different from his brother, he lost the battle for his father, and carried the black pot for Emperor Tianlong. Now when people outside talk about the failure of Emperor Tianlong's expedition, at least half of them will be able to think of him!
The fifth prince looked at his half-brother's eyes, and there was a trace of killing intent.
Emperor Tianlong, this is a rise and a fall.
Emperor Tianlong's action is not only surprising, but it also makes people think that it seems reasonable. The struggle for power between the emperor and the prime minister has gradually been put on the table, and most of the people with some eyes can see it.
Yin Ren sat under the stage at this time, holding a wine glass and pouring himself a drink, as if he didn't know that Emperor Tianlong was doing this to slap him in the face.
Everything at the palace banquet was calm and smooth.
After that, the singing was still beautiful, the dancing was beautiful, the banquet was staggered, and the voices were endless.
Until the imperial concubine Yin Qiang suddenly felt sick to her stomach, she bent over on the table and retched, which scared everyone.
The things in the palace are hidden and hidden, but when they are transparent, they are also transparent.
Well-informed people have long known that Yin Qiang had eaten Emperor Tianlong's reprimand earlier. There is the one who sees the wind making the rudder faster, and at the end of the day, he didn't pay much attention to Yin Qiang.
Seeing Yin Qiang's uncomfortable situation now, all the people looked towards the emperor who was warm fragrant nephrite in his arms, with a wait-and-see attitude, waiting to see how Emperor Tianlong would react?!
No matter what, Yin Qiang is also a woman he has favored for many years, and there are really some feelings-Emperor Tianlong's brows just wrinkled, and then he let go.
Yin Qiang was uncomfortable, he didn't hesitate, he immediately nodded, and asked someone to ask for a doctor. A little eunuch spun out in response and ran quickly.
As a result, the hall, which was still a little lively just now, suddenly became cold. All kinds of people all lowered their voices and whispered, as if they were guessing which one Yin Qiang was singing.
Lin Qiantan is no exception. It's just that the difference is that Lin Qiantan knows in her heart what kind of reason Yin Qiang might have, and suddenly it's like this.
The faux pas is in front of the Emperor.
In a short time, the imperial physician who was waiting at any time for the summons of the masters had quickly entered the banquet hall to check the pulse of the imperial concubine. The old doctor is serious, and he looks profound, and soon there will be a result.
After Emperor Tianlong saw that the imperial doctor was getting rid of his hand, he seemed to be a little hesitant, and he was very impatient: "What are you spitting out?" If you have something to say, say it. ”
The emperor's anger was like thunder, and the imperial doctor trembled slightly, afraid of the emperor's majesty, but when he heard the emperor's order, he immediately straightened out the wording in his heart again, and said calmly: "Back to Your Majesty's words, the mother's body is fine, it's just that she has a two-month slippery vein."
Slippery vein, that is, there is the meaning of joy.
The words of the imperial doctor were like a stone stirring up a thousand waves, and before the words fell, they set off a huge discussion in the originally smooth and uneventful hall. There have been no newborn princes and princesses in the palace for two or three years, and the imperial concubine is pregnant......
It's just time.
At this moment, when the emperor and the Yin family have just faced each other, Yin Qiang, who is the eldest daughter of the Yin family, has a child in her belly so coincidentally.
Emperor Tianlong, what will he do?
After the imperial doctor finished speaking, he asked Emperor Tianlong a few more words before retreating steadily.
Immediately afterwards, everyone's eyes were fixed on Yin Qiang's body.
Beauty is not old.
But it can't change the fact that Yin Qiang is now around forty people. However, she actually wants the old clam to give birth to pearls? The big guy counts the days, two months of pregnancy, and Emperor Tianlong was indeed still in the capital at that time, and he didn't go out.
In this way, I have a little bit of a spectrum in my heart.
Some people reacted quickly, and Emperor Tianlong didn't even speak much, so he came forward to congratulate His Majesty on adding another dragon son. There are also some people who are calmer, neither grab the first credit, nor be the last person, and are not in a hurry to open their mouths.
Yin Qiang's face is revealing the joy of being a mother, and she is allowed to look and appreciate it at will by the people who have their hearts below. It is a good thing that she can get pregnant again, and Emperor Tianlong also came forward to say a few words of praise.
The scene became cheerful for a while, and Yin Qiang suddenly became the one who attracted the most attention. No one stared at the new concubine.
Lin Qiantan was alert and noticed that the imperial concubine who was receiving everyone's congratulations seemed to have taken time out of her busy schedule to throw a glance at herself. Lin Qiantan's eyes were sharp and she caught it.
What Lin Qiantan was thinking about was how the timing of Yin Qiang's pregnancy was so coincidental.
Originally, Yin Qiang was "discovered" pregnant, and in her previous life, it should have been later when she and the new concubine fell in love, and suffered a loss at the hands of the new concubine. In other words, it will be a month or two later than it is now. The child was also conceived after Emperor Tianlong returned to Beijing.
And now......
History has changed, but such a big stroke has become a ...... at this point in time
"It's good luck for her to be pregnant at this age." Zhang Yan said that sentence as if unintentionally.
Lin Qiantan said: "Good luck is good, but no one knows if this child has a chance to be born."
Emperor Tianlong has no shortage of children.
No matter how well it is maintained, Yin Qiang is also a young person.
In particular, Emperor Tianlong still has no shortage of sons. Even if Yin Qiang gives birth to a boy, there are several princes in front of her, including two adult half-brothers!
Although none of those sons became a weapon.
The positions of the two sides were a little far apart, and Yin Qiang didn't have much time to keep her eyes on Lin Qiantan's body.
She was busy being congratulated and congratulated, and she wanted to embarrass a junior, and she was not in a hurry at this moment.
There is indeed a lot of joy in Yin Qiang's expression, but there is really no "surprise". It's not surprising that Yin Qiang has long known that she has a child in her belly. It's just that she chose a time she thinks is appropriate to expose it.
But this child has no chance to be born.
Not to mention anything else, Emperor Tianlong alone would not be willing to let the Yin clan have a surplus of sharpness in this stall. In his opinion, the child in Yin Qiang's belly is more of a threat to the bloodline of the Yin clan.
I just don't know, does Yin Qiang herself have any self-awareness of this?
With this episode, the shadow of Emperor Tianlong's unfavorable war was also diluted. And the emperor himself is also willing to let Yin Qiang temporarily have the limelight before the banquet disperses.
The dancing girl sitting in the emperor's arms was as smart as a well-behaved rabbit, and she didn't dare to compete with the imperial concubine for light. She hid her discomfort and allowed the man to be secretly dishonest in her, and no one knew better than her the emperor's sanctimonious demeanor at this moment.
Emperor Tianlong was therefore more satisfied with the new favorite in his arms. The smile on his face became more modest. In the time that followed, the atmosphere of the entire palace changed drastically, and no one talked about Suizhou anymore.
Just because they don't talk about it doesn't mean they won't come to the door about it. A group of people here were celebrating the emperor's imminent addition of a son, and the latest good news came from the palace gate over there.
The herald carried a military report wrapped in red silk on his back, and reported in public, and the places where the people were in turmoil when Emperor Tianlong left were pacified.
Emperor Tianlong was naturally overjoyed.
And this time, it is also the first time that the three words "Wang Yuanzhao" appeared in front of everyone in a truly dazzling way.
The people in the chaotic area are brave, and even if ordinary people are brave, they should always spend some soldiers and horses. However, in the hands of Wang Yuanzhao, it is bloodless.
In the face of three or four times his own righteous army, Wang Yuanzhao subdued the group of people who caused the turmoil without spending a single soldier, and the court also replenished a certain number of troops. It is indeed a good thing to be happy and happy.
Emperor Tianlong's eyes moved slightly, but if he didn't remember the will he left when he left, all those who dared to oppose the court would be killed.
The second son of the Wang family is not small, and he actually came to a "general who will not be subject to the life of the king outside". Not only did they have no losses, but even the enemy had only a few first-class evils...... All in prison.
Emperor Tianlong was not very happy in his heart. However, winning is a good thing and should be rewarded.
The herald who delivered the good news was soon led down to eat and rest. The feast in the main hall was soon coming to an end.
After a banquet, Emperor Tianlong was forcibly "good things one after another", and the ministers had no choice but to conform to Emperor Tianlong's face and smile at each other!
In the end, Emperor Tianlong, under the pleasure of it, sent out two wills, one to a few young generals far north, and the other to ...... gave Gu Ping.
Lin Qiantan smiled, Gu Ping was originally a Wenchen, and his hands were contaminated with military power, obviously at this time. The emperor threw several young generals, seemingly at random, to Gu Ping to unify the drive.
Yin Qiang couldn't help but pinch the palm of her hand.
She thinks that she and Emperor Tianlong have come all the way at a young age, not to mention any affection, but she can't even have a little affection. Emperor Tianlong rewarded her with a circle, but he didn't reward her head, and from beginning to end, he just praised her verbally, making her a little unwilling.
The imperial concubine is actually nominally already a position in the palace second only to the queen, and above that, the queen. Emperor Tianlong wouldn't have known what she wanted, but he hadn't given it to her for so many years......
The imperial concubine Yin Qiang in Lin Qiantan's memory has never had a chance with the position of the queen throughout her life. As the emperor's husband, he refused to hand over this position of motherhood to her, because her surname was Yin.
And a few men in the Dongshan Hou Mansion have mediocre careers, which is somewhat related to this.
*
Yin Qiang's son. Whether it is the second prince or the fifth prince, there is no one who allows her to finally be the queen mother and the queen.
A person who is not confused at all ages, even if he is pregnant, who can he really threaten. Whether she can give birth safely or not is not certain.
When you go out of the palace.
Gu Qingxuan also took advantage of the time when no one was there to come over and remind Lin Qiantan: "My grandfather said, tell you to pay attention, the imperial concubine is still obsessed with the previous things, only she bullies you, you can't bully her."
Lin Qiantan said "thank you".
The hand injury is not healed, and Lin Qiantan will not expect to add new injuries.
Over there, after Gu Qingxuan and Lin Qiantan finished talking, they turned around and went to her grandfather and mother, Gu Ping also asked by the way, what did she do when she went to find Lin Qiantan.
Gu Qingxuan stuck out her tongue, looking confidential.
Gu Ping and Han Yanqing looked at each other and smiled, as if they were very helpless about such a quirky baby bump.
*
In any case, although Wang Yuanzhao changed the military strategy without authorization, Emperor Tianlong's heart was not very happy. However, for Emperor Tianlong, this is a victory, and it is enough.
If he wins, he can more or less regain some of the face he lost because he was suddenly caught between two sides and suffered defeat.
Lin Qiantan had just gotten into the carriage back to the house, and there were several people from the emperor behind her, who had gone out of the palace to go home, and when they went out of the palace, it was estimated that they had posted the emperor's list.
After that, the whole city talked about it, and sure enough.
Emperor Tianlong is very good at putting gold on his face, which is obviously the credit of a few young generals, and it has become "the emperor hand-picked a few young generals and set a strategy to win" on the emperor's list. It's like a few young generals, just executors.
However, no one will really care about these things with the emperor. Something, it's good to know it in your heart, and you don't need to say it.
Along with the good news delivered, there were three other letters sent to the capital.
Two letters were sent to two Wang homes, and one was addressed to Lin Qiantan.
This letter was sent to Ji Yue's hand.
Lin Qiantan took the letter, read it carefully, and knew that Wang Yuanzhao was going well in Suizhou, so she was relieved.
The emperor was full of ambition, and only Wang Yuanzhao accepted 30,000 local strong men to enlist in the army for the imperial court. As a result, I didn't understand that Wang Yuanzhao just gave him the small one, swallowed a large piece of meat privately, and hid it from the world.
Lin Qiantan looked at the real numbers written on the letter, and smiled knowingly: "Good guy, you actually accepted all the people who could be called from that place."
Now, she has to inform Tian Xiaoxiang again to reserve more military supplies.
Lin Qiantan read this letter when she returned to the house.
Mama Gou is right in front of her, and her generous reading appearance makes people not suspicious. After Lin Qiantan finished reading it, she casually put it into the box, and Mama Gou ...... And he didn't take it to heart.
Lin Qiantan was about to wake up laughing when she slept in her dream.
It's because the second dog came up with it, 30,000 people to show to the court, not to mention, there are also 70,000 soldiers and horses, who were broken into pieces by him and are still farming in the local area.
Among them were 50,000 men and more than 20,000 women.
He would have thought.
The letter said: "I have always admired Miss Chen's martial arts that are not inferior to any man, but unfortunately she has never had the opportunity to compete.
Wang Yuanzhao's attitude undoubtedly won Lin Qiantan's favor. Of course, she didn't fail to see that there was a hint of flattery in Wang Yuanzhao's letter that could not be concealed.
In the middle of the night, it was crackling and raining outside the window. Summer hasn't left yet, and it's comfortable to encounter this rain during the day. Lin Qiantan couldn't sleep a little.
The two pieces of Jinghua Dream Picture that Lin Qiantan had pondered and spliced together were taken out by Lin Qiantan and were resting on the table next to the bed, telling her to look at them carefully at any time. Lin Qiantan looked at it, and really just felt that it was a landscape painting. I don't know what the secret of the so-called treasure of the Xia Kingdom is.
"Who knows what the person who made this treasure map had in mind?" Lin Qiantan couldn't help but talk to herself. The faint light outside the house was transmitted, so that she could barely see clearly.
At present, there are already four fragments of the whereabouts, two of which are in her hands. This hot potato is clearly cold and cold in the palm of the hand, but it is still so hot that people are so excited that they can't do it.
The third piece of broken sheepskin is already known to be in Wei's mansion. The fourth piece of broken sheepskin is at Concubine Xiao's.
So can you think that what is missing is the piece that the Qin family lost?
Lin Qiantan got up alone, it was when the wind was blowing outside the window, and when the wind blew, Lin Qiantan's hair on her head also danced, covering the flow of light that she hadn't noticed herself. She was thinking about a person in her heart, and that person was not in the capital at this time.
The courtyard was pitch black, with only the shadows of the trees.
Lin Qiantan followed the leaves to the window, and stood quietly at the small crack in the window on the second floor, originally just blowing the wind, and suddenly accidentally heard something outside as if there was some movement.
She pricked up her ears to listen.
On the wall, a dark shadow was quietly revealing a head. Lin Qiantan was startled at first, and then subconsciously had a surprise in her heart, and then immediately noticed that something was wrong before she caught her surprise.
In Lin Qiantan's momentary thoughts, the person who originally thought that he would climb the wall was Wang Yuanzhao.
Among the people she knows, there are really no other people who can do this kind of thing, except for Wang Yuanzhao.
But this speculation was rejected almost immediately.
Not to mention that Wang Yuanzhao was still thousands of miles away at the same time, even if he didn't know what to think about, he suddenly came back......
It shouldn't be like this person on the wall, short and thin.
Just by looking at the figure, you know that the person who came is not him!
So, if it's not him, who could it be?
The vigilance on Lin Qiantan's body suddenly rose, and her eyes narrowed slightly.
Maybe it's because of the moderate rain, and it's very slippery everywhere. Lin Qiantan carefully hid her body in the dim light, and looked coldly at the faint light of the night light, and it was a middle-aged man with a hooded head and face who was jumping from the wall to the courtyard. The man was afraid of falling, but he also moved very carefully.
is a pig, and he knows that it is not a good bird, but in the midst of the lightning and fire, what Lin Qiantan hesitates about is what kind of action plan he should take.
Does she want to make a sound of fright and drink this person away?
But in an instant, she had a decision. In her room, there are four or five girls with superb martial arts, why don't you close the door and beat the dog, wouldn't it be more enjoyable......
So, the man who had just landed in the rain didn't notice that Lin Qiantan in the room used the short time he had just landed to call out Jiyue scenery, screen screen waves and others.
The Pingfeng and Pinglang sisters were still a little sleepy, but the two of them were Lin Qiantan who had just walked into their warning range, and they woke up suddenly. Several people reacted quickly, and Lin Qiantan didn't have to say much, they realized that something was wrong.
When the man outside the door sneakily touched the edge of the door and window and thought about how to pry the door gate, they were already arranged according to the formation and were ready.
The man was unhurried.
The man, with a date face, beard, and narrow eyes, looked to be at least thirty years old. He was not very tall, and in the dark, Ji Yue silently compared him with Wang Yuanzhao, thinking, even the shoulders of the master were not ......
However, Ji Yue and the others soon knew that in this world, there is really a saying that people should not be disfigured......
