Chapter 129: New Year
Lin Wanying's actions this time were not low-key, and she didn't even think about being low-key.
So when she first made a move, both Zhao Xuan and the Queen Mother received the news.
So when someone later took this matter to Zhao Xuan and the Queen Mother to complain, Zhao Xuan and the Queen Mother, who knew that Lin Wanying was angry, didn't say anything.
They all knew that Lin Wanying was good to the maids around her, and this time the two maids around her were burned to death by the fire, and Lin Wanying was definitely not happy.
She was holding her breath in her heart, and it would definitely not work if she didn't send it out.
What's more, these palace maids have indeed done something wrong, since this is the case, Lin Wanying is making an example of the monkey, and they naturally will not intervene.
Lin Wanying was in the harem and asked the grandmothers to kill these palace maids who participated in the murder of the eldest prince and the second prince in front of all the maidservants.
Zhao Xuan and the Queen Mother were silent, and after this incident, it also gave the entire harem a different understanding of Lin Wanying.
"Master, this is this month's account book."
Tourmaline sent the account book in his hand to Lin Wanying, who didn't care about this account book, saw Tourmaline's movements, and immediately put down the tea cup in his hand to look at her.
Seeing Lin Wanying looking towards him, Tourmaline sent the open account book to Lin Wanying again.
"What's wrong with this book?"
Lin Wanying watched as Tourmaline had just finished saying this, and took the account book in her hand and looked at it carefully.
At a glance, Lin Wanying saw the last amount of the account book at first glance.
"Huh?"
At first, Lin Wanying thought that she had seen it wrong, but after she looked at it carefully, she realized that not only was she not mistaken, but the silver taels spent in the Moon Palace this month were really much less than before.
In the past few years, although the consumption in the palace will not remain unchanged every month, it is the first time I have seen such a large fluctuation.
After Lin Wanying confirmed that she was not mistaken, she looked up at Tourmaline and said, "What's going on?" ”
Tourmaline listened to Lin Wanying ask herself, and then guessed and said: "The slave maid thinks, is it that the master's hand suppressed the palace some time ago.
So this time, they didn't dare to be greedy for silver. ”
Tourmaline's words were also direct, after hearing her words, Lin Wanying glanced at her and said, "Could it be that after this palace made a move, they were scared of their courage?" ”
Hearing Lin Wanying's self-deprecating words, before Tourmaline could speak, Lin Wanying returned the account book to her, and said: "This month is like this first, if you are still so obedient next month, the reward at the end of the year will be more to the palace."
Although this palace does not like them to deceive and hide their greed for ink and silver, this palace also understands this rule.
The Holy One allows them to be greedy for ink spots, and this palace will naturally not go against the will of the Holy One. ”
After Lin Wanying said this, Tourmaline nodded and said, "With the master's words, the slave knows what to do." ”
Hearing Tourmaline's words, Lin Wanying looked at her and hooked her lips and said, "Actually, now that I think about it, this day has passed so fast."
Before I knew it, it was the end of the year, and I didn't know if the child in my womb could wait until the year to be reborn. ”
As soon as she heard Lin Wanying's words, Tourmaline looked at her worriedly and said, "Master, Imperial Doctor Zhang has excellent medical skills, he said that you will only be born about half a month prematurely, so you will definitely give birth after the year." ”
Lin Wanying knew that Tourmaline would say this to relieve her heart, and Imperial Doctor Zhang clearly said that her greatest possibility was that she was born prematurely for nearly a month.
Thinking that premature children are not as healthy as full-term children, Lin Wanying wanted to bring up Yuchun and the others in her heart to scold her.
Seeing that Lin Wanying was in a bad mood at this time, Tourmaline hurriedly put down the account book in his hand, raised his hand and pinched Lin Wanying's forehead and said: "Master, relax your mind, even if the little prince is born early, there are slaves and maids and others guarding all day, and the little prince will definitely not have a little accident." ”
Hearing Tourmaline's words, Lin Wanying closed her eyes and nodded, relaxed her body and leaned back before continuing: "You will go out and tell Onyx later, and ask her to send a message to the Lin Mansion and let the mother of the palace enter the palace in person." ”
"Yes, master, you will rest, and the slave will go to Onyx later."
Not long after Tourmaline finished saying this, Lin Wanying really fell asleep comfortably leaning back.
After finding that Lin Wanying was asleep, Tourmaline called Qingfei on the side to guard Lin Wanying and went out to find Agate to do errands.
Lin Wanying hadn't slept for long, but she woke up in a little more than a quarter of an hour.
As soon as Qingfei saw Lin Wanying wake up, she immediately carefully supported her body, and then looked at Lin Wanying and said, "Master, do you feel hungry?"
Before a stick of incense, Sister Onyx sent another cup of white fungus soup. ”
When Lin Wanying heard Qingfei's words, although she didn't reply in time, she still raised her hand and patted the back of her hand and said, "Don't worry, Bengong just woke up, and I don't have an appetite yet." ”
After saying this to Qingfei, Lin Wanying looked at her and continued: "It just so happens that you are here, and this palace also has something to tell you."
In a few days, the palace will let Second Mrs. Lin enter the palace.
The palace wants to ask the Lin Mansion to help select a few maidservants who have children from the family, and when the time comes, you can teach them the rules and see if there is a suitable one, so that they can be added to the palace next spring. ”
Lin Wanying watched as Qingfei just finished saying this, Qingfei looked at Lin Wanying with wide eyes in fright.
Lin Wanying didn't expect Qingfei to show such a look, so she couldn't help but smile and looked at her and said, "What, are you unwilling?" ”
Qingfei has been serving Lin Wanying for so long, although it is not as good as tourmaline and agate, but she can also hear the joke in Lin Wanying's words.
She first shook her head at Lin Wanying, and then looked at her and said, "It's not that the slave is unwilling, but the slave didn't expect that there would be such a good thing based on the slave's age and qualifications." ”
Lin Wanying heard Qingfei's words, and immediately laughed and scolded: "This palace only found out today that you girl is also a naughty girl.
There are only six of you around this palace now, except for tourmaline and agate, you have been with this palace for the longest time.
What's more, you have a good relationship with Mo Ling, and you can also accompany her to talk when you leave the palace this time.
There are few people who can use this palace now, and tourmaline and agate are not empty, so the third one will count you. ”
Qingfei's performance for so long Lin Wanying has seen it in his eyes.
Knowing that if she is trained well, she will be another agate in the future, so now she will let her go to the Lin Mansion.
When she went to the Lin Mansion, her mother would naturally help her train Qingfei well.
Qingfei also understood that her grade would be upgraded after leaving the palace and entering the palace again this time, not to mention the joy in her heart, she was also more and more sincere to Lin Wanying.
"Master, don't worry, the slave and maid will not embarrass you after leaving the palace."
Hearing Qingfei's words, Lin Wanying just hooked her lips and smiled, but did not speak.
Seeing that Lin Wanying no longer spoke, Qingfei also went to fetch the white fungus soup that Agate had just sent.
Eating the soft and glutinous white fungus soup, Lin Wanying was thinking about how to mention the New Year to Zhao Xuan after he came back tonight.
Lin Wanying thought about mentioning the New Year to Zhao Xuan, and Zhao Xuan also wanted to talk about it.
"You're pregnant now, if you're too busy, do you want to ask the queen mother for help or who do you want to help you?"
Zhao Xuan looked at Lin Wanying and just finished saying this, Lin Wanying, who was originally leaning on his arms, got up and picked up the fox and looked at him and said, "The concubine originally wanted to ask the master today, what do you mean about this year's New Year?" ”
As soon as Zhao Xuan heard Lin Wanying speak, he immediately looked at her and asked, "What else can you mean this New Year?"
Aren't they all done according to the rules of previous years? ”
Zhao Xuan looked at Lin Wanying and just finished saying this, Lin Wanying looked at him and shook his head and said, "Master, what you said is wrong."
Previous years are previous years, and this year is this year.
There are a lot of things going on this year, and there are not so many people in your harem, and now it is in the period of filial piety of the first emperor.
This New Year's should indeed be indispensable, but it was not originally handed down from the ancestors, whether you want to have it or not, but you have to think about it carefully. ”
Lin Wanying's words were quite subtle, but despite this, Zhao Xuan still understood.
When his father was here, he used to feast his ministers every New Year's Day.
When the courtiers finished eating, he had to go to have a meal with all the women in the harem.
But now, the relationship between Zhao Xuan and the ministers of the previous dynasty is not good because of the recent events, as for the harem......
Thinking of his harem, Zhao Xuan himself also felt a little like laughing.
Finding that a vague smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Xuan's mouth, Lin Wanying continued: "Master, what do you think, tell the concubine earlier, and the concubine should prepare in advance." ”
Lin Wanying watched Zhao Xuan finish saying this, and when she heard her voice, Zhao Xuan, who was pulled back to her thoughts, nodded at her and said: "There is still a palace banquet in the previous dynasty, but what should I do with this palace banquet, and who people should be called, I will think about it again." ”
After saying this, Zhao Xuan saw Lin Wanying nodding, raised his hand to wrap his arm around her, and continued: "As for the harem, just hold a simple family banquet."
What to do, do you want to discuss it with the queen mother? ”
Lin Wanying understood what Zhao Xuan meant after listening to his words.
The New Year is a day of reunion, but this year is special, the emperor has just died.
Zhao Xuan is not good at feasting the ministers, and there are few people in the harem, this year must be simpler.
After coming to such a conclusion, Lin Wanying instantly sorted out the matter in her heart.
While Lin Wanying was thinking about this, Zhao Xuan was also thinking about which ministers he would invite to dinner this year's New Year.
The emperor and queen each thought about their own thoughts, and they leaned together without affecting each other.
Early the next morning, Lin Wanying went to Shoukang Palace to find the Queen Mother to inquire about the New Year according to Zhao Xuan's instructions.
As soon as the Queen Mother saw Lin Wanying coming in, she immediately beckoned to her: "It's good to have something to say, why did you come by yourself?" ”
The Queen Mother didn't dislike Lin Wanying, but it was cold, although it didn't snow, it was icy on the road in the morning, and she was also worried that Lin Wanying's road was not safe.
Hearing the Queen Mother's concerned and disgusted tone, Lin Wanying hurriedly admitted her mistake to the Queen Mother: "Don't be angry, the Queen Mother is also the Imperial Doctor Zhang who said to let the concubines move more, so that the birth can go more smoothly." ”
As soon as Lin Wanying's voice fell, the Queen Mother hurriedly took Lin Wanying's hand into her hand and said: "Don't be afraid, after the New Year, the Queen Mother will let your mother enter the palace to accompany you." ”
