Chapter 1: Longevity (I)

The two had never been so gentle. In the past, although Lin Yuan won his favor, after all, she was an ordinary palace concubine, and Tuoba Hong treated her slightly better than others, but it was only a little. She worked hard to gain the emperor's trust, but it was only trust, and she could exchange her lifelong favor but not the supreme position she wanted.

In her opinion, there is still a long way to go in the future, but now, she feels that she is hanging, and the emperor boss's HP has been brushed from 80% to 40% by her in an instant - but God, if she was given another chance, she would rather crawl slowly out of the cold palace than do this. In this era when there is no blood transfusion and even giving birth to a child will go to the ghost gate, the mortality rate of fatal trauma is about the same as smallpox, and her health is not very good, it is pure luck to be able to earn her life this time.

At this time, the medicine girl came in with the medicine and offered it, Tuoba Hongping was a good person who could coax people, and regardless of the king's appearance, he scooped a spoonful of medicine and sent it to Lin Yuan's mouth with his own hands. Lin Yuan was amused by him, pushed the bowl away and said, "What does the emperor look like." Let the family see it, and be pampered and proud of it. ”

"You are the most precious person in me, which of them dares to speak."

Lin Yuan glanced at the emperor and wanted to see him, but the tiredness on his body swept over him more violently than the pain, so he had to take a breath and rest. Even if he exchanged his life for a great achievement, Lin Yuan still didn't dare to fully believe Tuoba Hong's words. In the emperor's heart, the most cherished thing is always himself.

Seeing that Lin Yuan's face was becoming more and more empty, Tuoba Hong didn't dare to talk to her more, and was busy holding the medicine bowl to feed her, smiling more kindly than the sunlight outside the window.

Lin Yuan smiled at him reluctantly. The bitter medicinal juice made her stomach twitch, and since she came through, in the past, when she had a headache and brain fever and a minor illness, the imperial doctor also prescribed some conditioning Chinese medicine, and she would rather drag the illness than touch it. In fact, the bitterness of this kind of big killer of traditional Chinese medicine can never be imagined by people who have never drunk it, but now Lin Yuan has to endure everything in order to save his life.

Not to mention that Takubahiro was clumsy, and the spoon often hit her gums. She wasn't interested in the seemingly sweet thing of being drugged.

***

After staying in Youzhou for three days, the holy driver finally set aside the road and drove back to Beijing. Tuoba Hong really wanted Lin Yuan to rest for a few more days, but as the king of a country, where was there any reason to delay and refuse to return to Beijing. Lin Yuan didn't dare to delay the military affairs because of one of his concubines, so he kept persuading Tuoba Hong to leave quickly.

Fortunately, Youzhou is only a day's way from the capital, and the official road is flat, Lin Yuan and the emperor are riding together in the sedan chair with four soft blankets and mattresses, leaning on the pillow behind them, and they will not suffer all the way. Wandering into Beijing, the palace people in front of the emperor had already received Lin Yuan back to Jingyue Pavilion to recuperate, and Tuoba Hong summoned the courtiers and concubines, met the queen mother, and took care of the backlog of political affairs that had been away from Beijing for three months, and was very busy, and could not find time to accompany Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan, who has already been named Jieyu, is naturally the hottest first person, and her return has made the entire harem begin to stir again. The emperor, empress, and queen mother had already given a lot of treasured tonics and supplements, and they were sent to the Mirror Moon Pavilion like a stream. The palace maid in charge of Concubine Xiang's palace gave a box of jade and silk, and the number of gifts was very valuable, so that Lin Yuan couldn't guess Concubine Xiang's thoughts. Later, Xu Ronghua, Zhang Wanyi and other concubines came to visit the patient in twos and threes, and Lin Yuan could only lie on the bed to deal with them with her face. Fortunately, in the end, the emperor was worried about her body, and made a decree not to allow any concubines to enter and leave the Jingyue Pavilion to disturb her, and Lin Yuan's world returned to peace.

Lin Yuan has been lying on the bed to recuperate according to the doctor's instructions, and when she was in good spirits, she listened to Aunt Han and others tell her about the latest news, and slowly learned a lot of important things. It turned out that in the past few months since she left the palace, the capital without the emperor was not as peaceful as she imagined.

The queen accompanied her, and the queen mother has always been absent, and the palace was headed by Concubine Xiang. But even so, Concubine Xiang's fetal position is still not very stable. She was protected by the top witch doctor Blue Girl, but she was not assassinated and poisoned or anything, but for some reason her body was getting worse day by day, and in September, she began to be sleepy every day, morning sickness, and couldn't eat. This woman who has always been tough is now a little weak, and she can't help but be eye-catching.

Tianrong Hua Chu has been serving the Queen Mother diligently after the emperor left the palace, because she served comfortably, and soon after the Queen Mother personally issued an order, she was named Jieyu. Later, King Muwu rebelled in the deer enclosure, and Tuoba Hong commanded a group of generals to resist, among which the great merit was Lord Chu, the governor of Huguang, who intercepted and killed 100,000 reinforcements from King Muwu in Shanyin County. I have to say that Chu Huashang has a very capable father, and her will to be promoted to a concubine was passed down after the emperor returned to the palace, and she was ready to choose a good day on the first day of December to carry out the canonization ceremony for her. Originally, Lin Yuanjin should have had a canonization ceremony for Jieyu, but her injury didn't take two or three months to don't want to get out of the house, so the people in the Ministry of Rites thought of a way to let Hui Jieyu accept the canonization in her own palace without having to go to the temple to kowtow, and the date was also set for the first day of December.

Chu Huashang's matter, Lin Yuan had long expected it. What kind of person should be placed in what position and what role should be played, Tuoba Hong is clear in his heart. In order to support Chu Huasheng, he will naturally try his best to seal her, and the Queen Mother is the same. also went to serve the Queen Mother, Xu Ronghua did no less than Chu Hua, but Xu did not like the Queen Mother at all.

The fourth day after returning to the palace, the fifth day of the 11th month, is the longevity of Takubahiro. The birthday of the first emperor in the palace is called longevity, the queen mother is called Shengshou, and the queen is called Qianqiu. This is the thirty-first birthday, not a whole life, but because of the joy of eradicating King Muwu, Tuoba Hong and the queen have decided to do a big deal.

The palace is full of joy, only the Mirror Moon Pavilion is here, although it is magnificently arranged because of the honor, it is still deserted like water. Lin Yuan was bored and shrunk in the quilt, listening to the sound of joy outside, and felt that she was about to mold. She casually looked at the two thousand-year-old mountain ginseng and a large bag of matsutake and deer antler snow lotus that the Queen Mother gave her, and said to the Fan Jade Emperor who was also sitting on the edge of the bed: "The emperor has decreed that the concubines are not allowed to disturb me, and I am not allowed to move around at will. It's a shame that there is also a you to talk to me to relieve my boredom. ”

Fan Yu looked at her when she heard this, and licked her lips that were chapped due to winter: "Lin Niangniang's blessing is something that no number of people in the palace can ask for......"

Her expression was a little hollow, on a big day like the Wanshou Festival, all the nobles and masters in the palace went to the banquet, including those concubines who had fallen out of favor and the old and withered concubines. There are only two of them, she and Lin Yuan, one is injured and can't get out of bed, but the other is not allowed to show up by the queen's order.

From the deer enclosure to the imperial palace, Fan Yu encountered more resistance than she had imagined. In this cold and cruel royal family, her father did not value her, her grandmother thought she was worthless and did not want to protect her, her grandmother hated her deeply, and others despised her. She knew that although she entered the palace and was recognized by the emperor as her daughter, she was still an outsider and an undesirable person in this huge palace complex.

was left out of the festival, so she could only come to Lin Yuan with a cheeky face, in a vain attempt to meet this favorite concubine with the most sacred heart. She is now extremely glad that she did not turn her back on Lin Yuan when she was in trouble, but gave her a pair of cold-proof handguards in her old love, if she immediately left Lin Yuan and found a big tree to rely on like others, where would she have the face to come to Jingyue Pavilion now.

Lin Yuan looked at her little appearance, casually stuffed her with a piece of exquisite Nafu crisp, and said with a smile: "You have a sweet mouth, and you still think I am a blessing?" Oh, if that arrow is a little more off, even the king of heaven will not be able to save me. ”

"Oh, I'm serious, you see that the things that the Queen Mother has given you are all things that can only be enjoyed in the Queen's Palace." Fan Yu took a bite of the pastry: "I heard that the emperor delayed his trip back to Beijing in order to take care of you." Prime Minister Zuo complained a lot about this matter, thinking that you were a bad face, and because of your rescue work, they didn't dare to go to the book to participate. And the Queen Mother loves you so much......"

Fan Yu said these words really not flattery, in Fan Yu's heart, Lin Yuan is a legend. The concubine who can turn over in that situation is the first one in the more than 200 years since the founding of the Great Qin Dynasty. Besides, according to this posture, the emperor spoiled her to the heart, and I was afraid that even the Xiang Concubine Niangniang would be compared. What is the future of this...... Tsk, it's hard to say.

"Niangniang, you are the person I admire the most. The matter of the Mongolian king, I thought you would be rejected by the emperor, but I didn't expect you to turn defeat into victory. Perhaps because of Lin Yuan's humble background and tenacious temperament, Fan Yu saw her own shadow in her, and her admiration was overflowing for a while, and she couldn't stop talking as soon as she started:

"When I was in Dajue Temple, I knew that blessings did not fall from the sky, but were earned by themselves. How did you dare to block that arrow? Is it for the emperor, or is it for the sake of being able to turn over? Anyway, if I were replaced, I don't know if I would dare to ......"

Fan Yu is the only person in the palace who knows the truth about the Mongolian king's incident except for the emperor, empress, and queen mother. She watched from the side when the Mongolian king rescued Lin Yuan in the dense forest, and then she could guess what happened inside. However, Lin Yuan was not afraid that she knew that the matter of the Mongolian king was a shame for the royal family, and the emperor sealed his mouth very tightly, even if Fan Yu was an enemy of her in the future, he would not dare to tell the matter.

Lin Yuan was blinded by her enthusiasm, and knew that what this child said was true, not deliberately hypocritical, so she couldn't help crying and laughing. Thinking that his rescue was purely accidental, I really didn't know how to answer at this time, so I had to say: "Nafu Su can't stop your mouth!" Hatsu Peach, you go and get some citrus for Emperor Ji to eat......"

Fan Yu giggled, but his hand was not polite, you can still eat citrus in winter, and I am afraid that it is the first one in the palace.
