Chapter 24: The Great Mourning (2)

Exhaustion came like a tidal wave. She was so tired that she couldn't hold her hand, and in her distraught, she fell asleep on the small kang during the lunch break. Chu Tao and a few palace maids came over and lightly changed her clothes, and dragged her to the bed.

On the second day, I still woke up early, wearing a rough linen white shirt and rushed to the mourning hall of Changxin Palace. This is the sixth day of the suspension of the spirit - many people can no longer hold on, and they dare not take leave, and are carried in by the palace maids and knelt on the ground. After Lin Yuan entered the hall, he rubbed his legs, moved his steps and knelt beside Zhao Zhaoyi, pointed to Changning and Zhao Wang's children and said to her: "Let's kneel, just kneel, it's enough for the children to stay for half a day." My sister lets them come over every day! ”

"The emperor didn't speak, where do I dare to be this master." Zhao Zhaoyi pulled Changning and said: "Now is not the time to feel sorry for them, Ning'er is not small, and the etiquette to the mother-in-law should be thoughtful, otherwise how much gossip will be ......" said in a low voice: "It's you, yesterday the concubine brought the five princes over and knelt all day, and the six princes in your palace only came over for a turn, showed their faces and left." The few tongue-chewing people were still talking about it, and they said...... The Sixth Highness is not sincere to his mother-in-law......"

As he spoke, he glanced at the concubines kneeling behind him with disgust.

Lin Yuan's heart chuckled for a moment. It's coming so fast!

Some people already regard her mother and son as thorns in their side......

In order to show respect for the former queen, there was not even a brazier in the mourning hall, and the long red blanket was removed earlier. On a warm and cold spring day in March, Lin Yuan knelt for the past few days, shivering from head to toe. She was reluctant to let Xiaoqi come with her to suffer, even if the nurse didn't have to kneel in her arms, this place was very cold.

It's no joke for children to fall into rheumatism.

The concubine hugged the five princes and knelt down for a day, it's not that she doesn't love the child, it's just that the five princes used to be hung up at the emperor for offending the queen, and at this time she wanted to take this opportunity to hurry up and make up for the position in the emperor's heart.

"Insincere?" Lin Yuan sneered lowly. Dare to put your hand on Xiaoqi so quickly!

Think about it for a moment and say, "Sister, don't worry about me. The six princes have been cold these days, and they really can't kneel for a long time. Why don't I come over after dinner every day for two more hours to make amends to the queen for the six princes, and the queen will forgive us. ”

"That's fine." Zhao Zhaoyi nodded slightly: "It's just seven days of crying spirit, and our adult's body will resist to the death, and it will pass." It's just that you have to be careful, in the past few days, the palace has been full of mourning, looking lifeless as water, but the undercurrent inside is the most fierce. Everyone is planning in their hearts, and there are many people who look at you and me unpleasantly......"

Zhao Zhaoyi's treatment of Lin Yuan is an unprecedented friendship. She was really forced to be in a hurry, Lin Yuan and her shared the same enemy, if the two of them joined forces, they would still be defeated in the hands of Concubine Jing...... After the harem turned upside down, I really don't know how to survive.

Now there are rumors in the palace that slander the six princes, and in the future, Lin Yuan's mother and son will be eaten to the bone.

Lin Yuan nodded and said no more.

At dinner, I really listened to the report of the first peach, and Dao grabbed a few long-mouthed grandmothers today, and was arrogant in arguing about the pampering of the six princes, and did not fulfill his duty in front of the mother's spirit. Lin Yuan was helpless, so she carried Xiao Qi over and knelt in the mourning hall for half an hour, and then knelt alone until late at night. When she came out of her knees, there were no stars in the sky, she held on to the door frame and walked out, her disobedient leg staggered and stepped into the air, and the whole person fell into the muddy water.

Fortunately, he was not injured, but his face was full of embarrassment. Chu Tao hurriedly came over to help, but Chu Tao also knelt with him for a day, but this help fell on Lin Yuan's body with a weak leg. The master and servant just collapsed on the ground and rolled together.

"Mom, fortunately, no one saw it at night...... Lin Yuan felt deeply ashamed, and she and Chu Tao helped each other to get up little by little. As soon as he finished saying this, a figure appeared in front of her, and a woman pulled her arm hard, and Yibi said with great concern: "Zhaoyuan Niangniang, are you okay, didn't you fall......"

Lin Yuan covered her face. After being pulled up by the other party, she wanted to cry without tears with a big flower face and a bird's nest head, and saw that the person who came was Cheng Guifei of Wanchun Palace, and said curtly: "Thank you so much for your help......"

"The concubine came back to look for something during the day, but unfortunately I saw Niangniang, Niangniang, are you okay?" Cheng Guifei took out a floating brocade handkerchief embroidered with gold silk from her arms to wipe the filth on Lin Yuan's clothes in person, and held her arm without disgust: "Niangniang, you are still worshipping the first queen late at night, you are really virtuous......

Cheng Guifei's sincere care made the corners of Lin Yuan's eyes twitch a little. She doesn't have much to do with this one on weekdays......

Before she finished speaking, three or four figures flashed behind Cheng Guifei, and they all stepped forward to help Lin Yuan. Yu Ronghua said: "Niangniang is really hard, even if she kneels for His Royal Highness Liu, you have to be careful of your body......"

Lin Yuan looked at this group of enthusiastic sisters with black lines on her head. In the end, she was sent back to Yuzhao Palace by several people, and the palace had already prepared hot water for bathing, she was soft in the big wooden barrel, and said weakly: "Concubine Cheng lost the bracelet and went back to find it...... Yu Ronghua is still with him, he is really not afraid of being tired to death......"

"Mother, thanks to them for helping you back, otherwise the two of us would be covered in mud and water, and it would take a lot of time to climb back with one foot deep and one foot shallow." Chu Tao said: "Yurong Hua is Niangniang's person, and Cheng Guifei was not attached to people in the past, but this time it seems that she is going to pick the mountain of Niangniang." ”

"That's a good thing!" Hatsuyuki had a smile on her face. In fact, she had long expected that someone would come to talk to her mother-in-law, when a group of concubines went to Huayang Palace to visit Concubine Jing and was very courteous.

Most of the people in the palace went to Huayang Palace under the guise of visiting and visiting, and seeing that Huayang Palace was full of people, Concubine Jing's voice was really the highest. However, the entire harem is not unique to her.

Although Concubine Jing is in a high position, the people next to her, such as Zhao Zhaoyi and Lin Yuan, are not idle people.

Zhao Zhaoyi's qualifications in the palace are longer than Concubine Jing's, but Concubine Jing's background is more noble. However, Concubine Jing has a disadvantage that cannot be ignored, that is, she has no heirs.

Although she was pregnant twice, she was not blessed and finally failed to leave the seed. Zhao Zhaoyi has two daughters.

And Lin Yuan was able to be supported by Cheng Guifei and others, mostly because she had a prince. She has only been in the palace for more than three years, and she is not yet twenty years old, so it is difficult to convince the public with such qualifications. According to the ancestral etiquette, her competitiveness in the latter position is not as good as Zhao Zhaoyi.

But he is also a man who can stand.

"Cheng Guifei and they are enthusiastic about me, but it's a pity that I have no intention of being behind at this time." Lin Yuan said lightly: "Chu Xue, you should understand that rushing for quick success will not lead to good results." Compared with Concubine Jing and even Wang Shurong, my years of serving the emperor are too short, and my background is low. Not to mention concubines, many royal relatives look down on me, and the court officials will not like a woman with a poor background and who is favored by her appearance. I can't afford to be the queen now, and if I insist on it, even if I get it in the end, I will lose it quickly. ”

She didn't really mean to be in the back position. On the contrary, she is keen on a position of power, and whenever she has the opportunity, she will desperately climb up, not to mention the temptation of ambition in the back position.

It's a pity that the time has not yet come.

She wasn't afraid of a successorβ€”it was something that was inevitable, it was just a matter of time, and that person couldn't be herself.

I'm just afraid that if Concubine Jing ascends the throne, it will not be easy in the future.

"But Niangniang, even if you don't fight this time, take advantage of the opportunity to accumulate some manpower, such as Cheng Guifei...... No matter who ascends the throne in the future, we will have more confidence, right? Chu Xue's eyebrows shone with a gentle light.

Lin Yuan was slightly stunned, and her eyebrows flowed: "What you said is good." After thinking for a while, he said, "However, it is not necessary to accumulate manpower. There are already a few Yu Ronghua, Hua Liangren, Wang Xuanzhi, and Ye Xiuxin, and there are a lot of people under my seat. If too many people are attached to me, the emperor and the queen mother will see it...... It's not pretty, either. Cheng Guifei is like this, she was attached to me at the beginning, and I will only be good friends with her in the future, and I will not let her be too close. ”

Why did the little eight in the Kangxi Digital Army fail to win the throne? The fundamental reason is that Kangxi values respect and humility and dislikes him as "the son of a cheap woman in Xinzhiku". The direct reason is that Xiaoba is not honest, and he befriends with his courtiers all day long, and there is a grand occasion in the court that praises the "Eight Sage Kings" in unison, which pierces Kangxi's heart.

According to the values of normal people, the more mediocre Lin Yuan is, the more honest he should be. Concubine Jing is the county lord, and Xiao Yueyi is the eldest daughter of the prime minister. People are inherently noble, presumptuous, dishonest, that is called arrogance.

Lin Yuan, the daughter of a small official, why did she have a small star and set up a big banner to swagger through the market with a large team?

Chu Xue listened and nodded: "It's still Niangniang who thinks about it thoroughly." ”

"But now the affairs of the six princes can be entrusted to Cheng Guifei." Lin Yuan pondered, and there was a hint of fierceness in her eyes: "I will only be good friends with her in the future, and I don't plan to let her do anything big for me." The matter of the six princes is actually not difficult, let her help me come forward to defend one or two, and it is enough to knock and knock those who speak ill of the mouth. ”

"That's a good idea." Chu Xue's brows relaxed: "Rumors slandering the Sixth Highness...... It's just that those jumping clowns are jumping up and down, and it's not difficult to deal with. ”

Lin Yuan and Chu Xue both understood that those rumors would not be released by Concubine Jing - first, although she was determined to be in the back position, she had the courage to achieve great things, and she would not be impatient at the most critical moment. Attacking a prince with rumors is not stupid, but the effect is definitely not very good. The key is also risk, the emperor loves the six princes so much, once he eccentrically thinks that "the body of the six princes is more important than his respect for the former queen", once he investigates, he is unlucky.

Second, Concubine Jing has a steady and cautious personality. She is sure to kill the results, but she will plan carefully in everything she does, and she will act only after she has a thorough grasp.
