Chapter 42: Birth
It's just a little girl's birthday. Lin Yuan was not so careful, and felt that this unfavored princess had shamelessly come over to stammer.
"I also invited His Royal Highness King Zhao and Emperor Changning to come over." Fan Yu's voice became lower and lower: "Lin Niangniang...... You don't think I'm noisy, do you? ”
Lin Yuan was really surprised this time. She slowly put down the jasmine tea in her hand, and her eyes were fixed on Fan Yu.
Fan Yu was a little hairy by her, and she didn't dare to speak out anymore.
After a while, Lin Yuan laughed lightly. She stood up and pulled Fan Yu's wrist and said gently, "It's okay." I'm in good health after pregnancy, and you children are all polite, how can you make a noise to me. ”
Fan Yu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
The important thing is not Changning, but King Zhao. King Zhao is a prince who lives in Qianxi, and he doesn't see each other much in Su Ri. But for this younger brother who is two years younger than himself, Fan Yu has a sense of sympathy - he also lost his biological mother. In the past, Concubine Shen Rou was so noble, and King Zhao was also crowned king at a young age. But Concubine Shen died miserably overnight, and her mother's family was all beheaded, and King Zhao fell from the clouds to the ground, and the situation was equally bad.
But the only difference from her is that King Zhao is the prince......
The prince has an innate value, which is not comparable to the emperor.
No matter how down-and-out the prince is, he has a place in his father's eyes.
So she invited King Zhao to come over today, so that her father could see King Zhao's pity, and then see the same pitiful self, most of them would give grace at the same time, and she would be stained with King Zhao's light. And the place was chosen in the Scarlet Smoke Building, because this is the place where the emperor must come every day.
When she made such a request to Lin Yuan, with Lin Yuan's intelligence, where could she not see her careful thoughts.
Lin Yuan just smiled and looked at Fan Yu, but what he was thinking about was King Zhao.
The kid ...... But it's valuable.
"Where is the emperor now?" Lin Yuan asked Xiao Chengzi casually.
"It's not in the Xianfu Palace yet." Chu Tao interjected: "Niangniang is pregnant and can't serve the emperor, and the people who have been favored recently are all concubines in Bixiao Palace, and for some reason in Xianfu Palace, it is not as powerful as before." But you don't know the means of Concubine Tian, today you forcibly invited the emperor from the Bixiao Palace to the Xianfu Palace. ”
Lin Yuan was not annoyed when she heard this: "If she doesn't have this ability, she is not worthy of competing with me." "Chu Huashang was snubbed by the emperor, naturally because of the burning of Jingren Palace. Now even if she coaxes the emperor again, but with this pimple, Tuoba Hong will not treat her as favorably as before.
Concubine Wen is not a soft persimmon, she sees the opportunity, and naturally makes trouble with her.
Lin Yuan couldn't help but laugh secretly, this Chu Huashang wanted to climb to the concubine position, don't say that she is fighting with herself, it is important to pass the concubine first.
"Niangniang, do we want to go to Xianfu Palace to invite the emperor?" Xiao Chengzi smiled and said: "With the emperor's love for our mother, where do you need to use any means, just say that the mother wants the emperor, and the emperor will definitely open the concubine and come directly to the scarlet building." When the time comes, see where Concubine Tian's face goes. ”
Lin Yuan sneered, but waved his hand and said, "Don't, I'm pregnant, I'm not as arrogant as before." After that, he pursed his lips and smiled: "You don't need to ask." The emperor would come to see me every day at noon, and this was the case for so many days. Let's wait slowly, the emperor will come over by himself. ”
***
Sure enough, Lin Yuan and Fan Yu sat idly for about half an hour, and the holy car arrived.
Tuoba Hong stepped into the house like a gust of wind, with a smile on his face, stretched out his hand and grabbed Lin Yuan's hand and said, "Did he trouble you today?" ”
Lin Yuan blushed and looked down at Fan Yu and the others on the side, reminding the emperor that there were still outsiders. Tuoba Hong never put Fan Yu in his eyes, glanced at the corner of his eyes and did not stop for a moment, but said behind him: "Huashang, bring that good thing to Yuan'er and show it." ”
I saw a slender figure flash out from behind Tuoba Hong. Only then did Lin Yuan discover the existence of Chu Huasheng, her fingers shrank slightly, and she said with a smile on her face: "My body is inconvenient, thanks to Sister Tian serving the emperor these days." ”
In his heart, he was secretly scolding the Chu family for being difficult! . The emperor wanted to come to the Scarlet Building, and she dragged her together, purely to respond to herself.
Chu Huashang smiled on his face, but his eyes were fixed on Lin Yuan's lower abdomen, and a touch of unwillingness and resentment flashed very quickly, and disappeared. Lin Yuan smiled again and said, "Listening to what the emperor said, is there something rare about Sister Tian's concubine, who specially brought it to me to show me?" His face was full of curiosity: "What kind of good thing is that?" ”
Without waiting for anyone to command, the palace maid behind Chu Huasheng who had already been obedient held a vermilion long box in both hands and brought it to Lin Yuan. Tuoba Hong stretched out his hand to take it, opened it and said to Lin Yuan: "Look at it, this is a grain fruit, so big, you have never seen it, right?" His words were full of joy: "This thing was found and offered by the governor of Huguang in the territory of Jingzhou this year, saying that it was sold by a few merchants from Nanyang, and was planted in the fields by the people of Jingzhou, who did not want to get a bumper harvest, and the fruit was huge and very good, and it could grow in winter." ”
Lin Yuan looked down at the treasure in Tuoba Hong's hand, and the corners of her mouth twitched. That's what makes Tuoba Hongle like this? Isn't it the sweet potato that I ate in my grandmother's village when I was a child, and the taste is so ordinary that the price is not worth selling? I haven't seen it yet!
Sweet potato...... Well, Lin Yuan remembered that this crop was not an indigenous person from the Central Plains, it was indeed introduced from outside.
Compared with wheat and rice, it is cold-tolerant and waterlogg-resistant and grows fast, and its value is just like that of Yuan Longping, who was brilliant in his previous life.
It's a good father...... Lin Yuan looked at Chu Huasheng and felt irritable, her father was too capable, the governor was amazing! I also got sweet potatoes from Nanyang merchants by mistake! The crisis of Chu Huashang's fall from grace was thus solved.
No matter what, Lin Yuan still made a look of surprise, in line with Tuoba Hongdao: "Ah, is this really food?" It's so big......"
Tuoba Hong was in a good mood today, sat down with Concubine Tian, and accompanied Lin Yuan to ask long and short questions. Fang said a few words, and someone outside the door said that His Royal Highness King Zhao and His Royal Highness Changning had arrived.
Although Fan Yu is not favored by the imperial daughter, but the Scarlet Smoke Building is a treasure of feng shui, Zhao Shuyuan knew that the emperor would definitely come here every day, so she naturally happily agreed to Fan Yu's invitation to Changning. As for King Zhao, after losing the favor of his biological mother and father, he will understand how to live better.
Fan Yu didn't dare to say a word in front of Tuoba Hong, and Lin Yuan explained for her: "...... Fan Jade Emperor Ji celebrated his birthday and invited his younger brothers and sisters over. I became pregnant, and I liked children more and more, so I let them come to me to play. ”
Tuoba Hongwei bowed his head and said with a smile: "It's okay, I'm busy all day, and I can't see them often, but this time it's all here." ”
King Zhao and Changning are seven years old and six years old, both of them are as old as gold and jade, standing together and observing the rules and entering the house to salute, they are as cute as the boy sitting down in Guanyin. Lin Yuan looked at them but couldn't lift his spirits, at such a young age, he had to know the etiquette, know how to advance and retreat, be thoughtful in his troubles, not fall into the royal demeanor, and face the cruel life and death crusade...... When your own children are born in the future, don't you want to be like them?
Changning was accompanied by Zhao Shuyuan in the past few years, and after this year, Zhao Shuyuan also intended to train her and allowed her to meet her father by herself. Tuoba Hong looked at the children with a smile, ordered people to take a seat, turned his head but the slightest smile was gone, and said to King Zhao with a solemn face: "How is your "Wu Zi" memorized?" ”
Zhao Wang Tuoba Yan is not a child with outstanding talents. He failed to inherit his father's wisdom and courage, nor did he inherit his dead mother's scheming and city. He looked up at his father and quickly lowered his head, and said, "Son...... I memorized five paragraphs of ......"
"Huh? I heard Taifu say, you've been a little lazy in your studies recently. Maybe today, here with your Lin Niangniang, I won't let you make a fool of yourself. You get off school tomorrow afternoon and come to Jianzhang Palace to endorse it. Tuoba Hong didn't like his appearance, and his face was cold.
Other people's children are not easy to manage, and Lin Yuan is too lazy to take care of them. She smiled sideways: "Your Majesty, you have to be a strict father, and you will do it when you return to Jianzhang Palace." Today is Fan Yu's birthday, let a few of them go out and be stubborn. As he spoke, he instructed his subordinates to entertain the little ones with melons and fruits, refreshments, wind chimes, tangrams, and other toys.
What Lin Yuan took out was not an ordinary gadget, she was interested in it in her previous life, just like the so-called tangram is actually a "T-word mystery". The three of Fan Yu saluted and retired, although Changning was taught to be solemn, but seeing that this Lin Niangniang's things were different from what she used to play, she was also interested, and she was about to go to the side hall to play with Fan Yu.
It's just that when he exited the main hall, the nurse serving beside King Zhao suddenly stumbled and sat down with an "ouch".
Not far away, Lin Yuan and several people here could see clearly, where was Mama Wang falling by herself, it was clearly Fan Yu blatantly stretched out her foot and tripped over. Before she could get up, Fan Yu reached out and picked up a jade-like object from the ground, but it had already broken. She held it high in her hand and said, "Mama Wang, you didn't fall and get hurt, right?" Oh, here's what fell off you! ”
Mama Wang fell down in front of the emperor and lost her manners, and hurriedly stood up in a panic, but said angrily to Fan Yu: "Emperor, you ...... As a princess, you should take the rules seriously, how can you, how can you stretch out your feet to trip the old slave! As he spoke, he saw the jade in his hand by Fan Yu, and hurriedly snatched it over, covered his waist and said again and again: "This is the old slave's jade, thank you Emperor Ji for picking it ......up."
"Mama Wang, you said that this palace tripped you?" Fan Yu's voice suddenly became fierce: "You are a minion, your feet are in the way of the palace, the palace beats you and scolds you, why are you so reasonable to be a slave now?" As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and said, "Take out your jade!" ”
