Chapter Seventy-Five: Befriending Concubine Chen
"Yes, the innkeeper said that before we went, a group of people went to buy all the medicinal herbs, and when they saw that some people were unwilling to sell them, they grabbed them directly at home and burned them down."
Liao Luan's tone was flat, but when the little emperor heard it, a chill gradually rose in his heart.
This matter can be big or small, and the mastermind behind the scenes can be said to know the Queen Mother's illness well, not only that, but also has just the right grasp of the itinerary of the two.
This is something that makes the little emperor very nervous.
He turned his head, the hand behind his back was tightly exposed, and then he said in a deep voice, "Order someone to go over again to find out who is behind this matter." ”
Liao Luan clasped his fists and saluted, "Yes." ”
"The enemy is dark and I am clear, remember to be careful in everything, and don't startle the snake."
There is a sense of tension in everything, but the harem is quiet and peaceful at this time.
Even a little bit of fun.
"Really, Drunken Willow, the queen mother's health has improved a lot, I'm very happy, you are really my lucky star."
"The Queen Mother's health is really a little bad, and she must take care of it."
Fuxing or something, Lin Zuiliu shook the corners of his mouth, and looked at the rockery in the distance with his chin pinched.
Spring has arrived, the books in the imperial garden have been smoking, and the rockery is flowing with water, and the sound is not loud or small, just enough to cover the sound of talking not far away.
On the path over there, the two concubines of the little emperor were standing.
One of them she knew, it was Concubine Chen, whom she had met a few times, but the other one she was not familiar with.
"Zhaoyuan, who is that woman?"
She pointed to the person with her back to her and asked, Princess Zhaoyuan looked in the direction she was pointing, and happened to see a graceful woman in a goose-yellow palace dress.
"That person, isn't it my imperial sister-in-law, the queen's mother."
Princess Zhaoyuan's voice was unhurried, but Lin Zuiliu's eyes widened in shock when she heard it, "What did you say?" The emperor has a queen? ”
Princess Zhaoyuan was about to roll her eyes, she dragged Lin Zuiliu, and said angrily, "Eldest sister, my imperial brother is in normal health, how can there be no queen." ”
It's not because the little emperor takes Concubine Chen with him every time he holds an event, she has almost never seen the queen!
"That, ...... last palace banquet"
"Oh, you said that you didn't see the queen at the last palace banquet, the queen's mother is not in good health all year round, so she often closes herself in her palace."
Princess Zhaoyuan said, patted Lin Zuiliu's shoulder, and said as if she didn't care, "Don't care about this, let's talk about ours, my imperial brother and his harem are very chaotic, and I have always been too lazy to pay attention to him." ”
Lin Zuiliu nodded, but finally couldn't hold back, and asked, "That, whose daughter is the queen's mother?" ”
"Prince Gong, you should know, it's Qi Jingxuan's sister."
Marriage of close relatives?
Lin Zuiliu looked at Princess Zhaoyuan sluggishly, wanting to ask and thinking about it, the ancients had never paid attention to these.
Recessive gene dominant gene, inbred marriage child dementia or something, I guess she said that others were able to think of her as a neuropath.
Or forget it......
The two of them quickly finished chatting, and Lin Zuiliu watched in a daze as Concubine Chen and the two little maids got closer and closer to him, and couldn't help but sigh again in his heart.
Concubine Chen is really good-looking.
Concubine Chen Guifei walked directly to the small pavilion where the two people were, and said to Princess Zhaoyuan and Lin Zuiliu, "Princess, Princess Zhennan." ”
Lin Zuiliu didn't expect that she still remembered herself, and she was very excited, without waiting for Princess Zhaoyuan to speak, she roared at Concubine Chen, "Concubine Chen, where is Concubine Chen going?" ”
Princess Zhaoyuan couldn't say a word stuck in her throat, but Concubine Chen smiled slightly, and there was a rather good-looking smile on the left side of her mouth.
"It's nothing, it's just that I come out to breathe, and the weather is warmer now."
Concubine Chen's voice was also soft and soft, and the spring breeze was blowing in such a warm spring.
Princess Zhaoyuan saw Lin Zuiliu's unpromising appearance, covered her face and didn't see anyone, and finally could only look at Concubine Chen and said, "Then the concubine Niangniang, why don't you eat some snacks here with us." ”
Hearing this, Concubine Chen was really stunned for a moment.
Her relationship with Princess Zhaoyuan has never been very close, not to mention that the Queen Mother has always disliked her, and now Princess Zhaoyuan directly opened her mouth to keep herself, which really exceeded her expectations.
In fact, it is Concubine Chen who thinks too much, Princess Zhaoyuan has always liked her temperament of not fighting or grabbing, she is not the kind of person who blindly helps her relatives and does not help, she knows that it is her imperial brother who takes the burden and is hot, and she will not blame it all on Concubine Chen.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have spoken for the Queen Mother when she was angry with her.
In the end, Concubine Chen still nodded, pulled her skirt and slowly walked up the steps, and sat directly opposite Lin Zuiliu.
"It stands to reason that I would like to thank Princess Zhennan for her help last time." Her moist apricot eyes looked at Lin Zuiliu, but Lin Zuiliu blushed when she saw it.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's just a matter of duty, Concubine Chen doesn't have to worry too much." Lin Zuiliu waved her hand, and Concubine Chen saw the jade bracelet on Lin Zuiliu's arm at a glance, and she rarely showed a teasing look.
"The princess's bracelet is chic and beautiful."
Almost everyone in the capital has more or less heard about the mutton fat and white jade ring in Zhennan Wangfu.
In that year, the king of the south of the town fought in the south and the north, and was not in the capital for many years, and the princess was left alone in the palace.
However, the prince and princess have a deep love for the sword, even if they get together less and leave more, they are still in love with each other, and this relationship has always been a good story.
However, the affairs between husband and wife are only known to each other, and outsiders naturally do not know, and there have been rumors in Beijing for a while that the princess of the enemy country has fallen in love with the brave and resourceful King Zhennan.
Princess Zhennan, that is, Liao Luan's mother, naturally did not believe these gossips, but King Zhennan had not returned for a long time, and no letters had been sent back, she was really worried about whether her husband was injured.
So the scholarly family, everyone's beautiful princess Zhennan did the most extraordinary thing in her life.
She went to the front line with the soldiers who transported the grain and grass to find the king of Zhennan.
Transporting grain and grass is an urgent matter, and everyone doesn't know that there are such a character as Princess Zhennan in the team, she has endured all kinds of hardships along the way, and when she arrived at the border garrison, she was almost unable to hold on.
In the end, when the king of Zhennan received the grain and grass, he recognized his delicate and graceful princess in a group of soldiers, and was quite shocked to take her back to the commander's camp.
The mutton fat white jade was also the jade block he found at the border office, and it took him seven hundred and forty-nine days to polish it before he made this mutton fat white jade ring.
"In order to be able to see you at a glance in the future, I will show him to my husband as soon as possible in the future."
This mutton fat white jade ring also has a nice name, called "Lingxi Ring".
This bracelet is almost unknown to everyone in Beijing, and wearing it shows the identity of the hostess of Zhennan Palace.
However, although everyone knows this, the alien species of Lin Zuiliu does not know at all.
She always thought in her heart that this was just a confessional gift.
Therefore, she raised her arm as if she didn't care, looked at Concubine Chen with a smile and said, "Yes, I also think it's very good-looking, Liao Luan's eyes are still very good." ”
Her silly appearance made both Concubine Chen and Princess Zhaoyuan laugh out loud.
Three little girls of the same age talked about jewelry and makeup, and they soon became one.
Therefore, when the little emperor and Liao Luan appeared in the imperial garden, they saw three people sitting in the pavilion giggling at a glance.
"Oh? Yan Gui, when did your princess become so close to my concubine Chen. ”
If he remembered correctly, he hadn't said a word when the two had the opportunity to meet before.
Women are strange creatures.
Liao Luan was also a little puzzled, but he knew that Lin Zuiliu had always had the ability to chat with others quickly, and he also knew that this little girl had always liked Concubine Chen.
Therefore, it is not surprising to see it now, but he only shook his head at the little emperor and said that he did not know.
Liao Luan has always been a stuffy gourd outside, and the little emperor is used to the death of others when he says ten words.
However, habit does not mean habitual looking, as soon as he thinks of this person's dead appearance in front of him, as soon as he comes to his sharp-toothed princess, the spring breeze blows and the virtue is as warm as jade, he is angry.
Who said that the emperor has a high status, he has always felt that his status in Liao Luan's heart is not as good as Lin Zuiliu's little finger.
The little emperor who sighed in his heart still looked extremely majestic on his face, and the hand behind his back was fiddling with the Hetian jade wrench on his thumb, he thought for a while, waved his hand directly at Liao Luan and said, "Let's go, let's go over and have a look." ”
As he spoke, he took the lead towards the pavilion, but Liao Luan couldn't, and could only follow behind him.
He kept staring at Lin Zuiliu, and looked at Lin Zuiliu's smile and felt quite happy.
It's been too busy lately, he hasn't seen Lin Zuiliu for several days, and the two of them have just confirmed their relationship, and now it's really a bit bad.
It seems that it is time for him to take leave from the emperor and take Lin Zuiliu out to have fun.
The three people in the pavilion over there were laughing and chatting, and Lin Zuiliu looked at Concubine Chen and was just about to speak, when she saw her expression, she instantly became extremely serious.
Then he stood up, saluted behind Lin Zuiliu, and said, "I have seen the emperor, the king of Zhennan." ”
"Brother Huang, you're here. Liao Luan, you came just in time, this princess just helped you bring the princess. ”
Lin Zuiliu didn't pay attention to the two words of the emperor in front of him at all, and threw himself on the three big characters of "King of Zhennan".
She got up sharply and turned around, and saw Liao Luan, who was standing next to the little emperor behind her, wearing a royal blue regular robe.
Liao Luan has lost a little weight in the past two days, she should really pull Cui He to make some delicious supplements for Liao Luan, don't give her baby a starvation.
She threw herself on Liao Luan, making the little emperor standing next to Liao Luan quite faceless.
How can this husband and wife all be so virtuous!
The little emperor took a deep breath and cleared his throat very loudly.
Lin Zuiliu came back to his senses at this time.
