Chapter Ninety-Five: Change
Lin Tao looked at his son and said in a deep voice: "The palace is similar to the palace, everywhere is extremely sinister, everyone has a pair of rich eyes, especially the eunuchs and palace maids around His Majesty and the queen, these people you must take care of them, and you can't slack off at all!"
Lin Jia's black phoenix eyes were like stars in the night: "Daddy, I don't have any money!"
Lin Tao: "......"
He knew that Lin Jiading was this sentence, and he had already prepared.
Lin Tao opened the drawer of the bookcase, took a brocade box and handed it to Lin Jia: "This is the cost of the first half of next year, and when I save it in the second half of the year, I will send someone to send it to you!"
Lin Jia took the brocade box, and her heart suddenly felt a little heavy: "Daddy, I'll go back."
Lin Tao looked at Lin Jia's thin body in a daze, his heart was empty, and he said for a long time: "I don't dare to release people into your house, you insist on going to the capital to talk about it!"
Lin Jia agreed and slowly retreated.
That night, Lin Tao, who was supposed to come to Hongxi Courtyard to accompany Princess Li, did not come.
Princess Li sat in the bright room of the main room and did not move for half a day.
Sydney was a little worried, quietly made a cup of maple dew tea and put it aside, and said softly: "Princess, drink some tea to moisten your mouth!"
Princess Li took a sip of the teacup, and then said in a low voice, "Where did the prince go tonight?"
Sydney said in a low voice: "Aunt Fang Cailian ordered someone to send news, saying that the prince went to Aunt Ping's room tonight."
Princess Li hated it in her heart, and raised her hand to throw the teacup in her hand to the ground.
Hearing the "click" sound of the tea cup breaking, Sydney's body remained motionless, and the expression on her face remained the same.
The two little maidens quickly walked in and lightly cleaned up the mess on the ground.
Sydney was about to speak, when she suddenly heard footsteps from far and near outside, and hurriedly raised her eyes to look over.
Huang Xing opened the curtain and walked in, curtsy and hurriedly said: "Princess, the person in the study just now came with news, the prince told the second son, saying that His Majesty has ordered someone to send a message to let the second son go to the capital at the end of the year!"
When Princess Li heard this, her face immediately turned red, her lips trembled slightly, and she said for a long time: "What? Lin Jia still wants to inherit the throne and be the emperor? ”
Sydney hurriedly said: "Princess, you can't bear it anymore, if you don't make a move, if Lin Jia becomes the emperor, the third prince, you, and the Li family, I'm afraid they won't be able to keep it!"
Princess Li thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "Now that the matter is over, we can't help but make a move......
The next morning, the wife of Xia Zhiqing, the governor of Qingzhou, came to the palace of Xingping County in a sedan chair, and went straight to Hongxi Courtyard to see Princess Li.
Princess Li accompanied Mrs. Xia to gossip for most of the day, and when she saw that it was almost brewing, she smiled and said: "Mrs. Xia, I used to see your Manling, I liked it very much, and I still wanted to ask for my family Ajia to marry your Manling, who knows...... Alas......"
Mrs. Xia's rich heart had already been hung up, and she hurriedly asked, "Princess, what's wrong?"
Princess Li shook her head and sighed a few times, but refused to speak.
Mrs. Xia was entangled for a long time, and then Princess Li said mysteriously: "I'll tell you a secret, don't tell anyone else!"
Listening to Princess Li's words, Mrs. Xia hurriedly smiled and said, "Princess, how can the concubine be such a mouthy person!"
Only then did Princess Li say: "Don't tell others, our palace has received a secret decree from Your Majesty, and Ajia Layue is about to enter Beijing, and she will pass it on to Your Majesty and the queen......
Mrs. Xia's cousin Han is the side concubine of the king of Ding'an County, and Concubine Han gave birth to a son named Lin Lun for the king of Ding'an County, who is also the candidate for the heir to the throne this time.
As long as she told Mrs. Xia the news that Lin Jia was going to enter Beijing to meet her, Mrs. Xia would definitely pass it on to the Ding'an County Palace, and the Ding'an County Palace would kill Lin Jia.
When Mrs. Xia heard this, her eyes immediately lit up, and she hurriedly got up and saluted Princess Li: "Congratulations to the princess!" Congratulations to the princess! In the future, the second son inherited the throne, and you are the queen mother! ”
The corners of Princess Li's mouth twitched - if I want to be the queen mother, how good is it to send my son Ayi into the palace, why bother to make so many turns?
She sneered in her heart, but she had a smug look on her face: "That's natural, our Ajia is the most filial to me!"
Mrs. Xia has always had a rich heart, and at this time, she didn't want to tell her cousin Concubine Han about Lin Jia's entry into Beijing, but thought that if her daughter Xia Manling became Lin Jia's concubine, when Lin Jia inherited the throne in the future, wouldn't her daughter be a concubine?
Thinking of this, Mrs. Xia forced herself to hold herself, chatted with Princess Li for a while, and then found an excuse to say goodbye and leave.
Xia Zhiqing listened to his wife's words, thought of the prince, and felt a little afraid in his heart.
Seeing that her husband was so cowardly, Mrs. Xia immediately sneered and said: "Wealth is in danger, if you don't work hard, where does the wealth come from?" Besides, we don't want Man Ling to marry the second son as the main family, how can the prince blame us? ”
Xia Zhiqing was upset by what his wife said, and immediately waved his hand and said, "Just fiddle with it, I don't care!"
Mrs. Xia snorted and went to find her own daughter Manling to discuss.
Such a good thing can't be known by Xia Manyun's ugly girl.
Xia Manling listened to her mother's words, her heart fluttered, and she began to imagine the situation of Lin Jialong's robe and the ministers shouting long live.
Lin Jia was born so handsome, and he must be the most handsome emperor when he wears a dragon robe!
She will be deeply favored by Lin Jia in the future, and will naturally be named the concubine by Lin Jia, and when the time comes, she will be the queen of the harem, and the son she gave birth to will naturally be the crown prince, then she will be the queen mother in the future, and when the time comes, she will choose the most handsome young man in the world to raise in Cining Palace, how happy......
Xia Manling immediately said: "Mother, I have a way!"
As November begins, the weather gets colder and colder, and the wind whistles from the sea, carrying the smell of the cold and damp sea, which seems to penetrate the clothes of people and penetrate into the marrow of people.
Yu Yu knew that she was going to leave Qingzhou next month to go to the capital, and the capital was even colder, so she was busy every night, and she had to make a few sets of cotton clothes covered with water and cotton for Lin Jia to keep out the cold.
Before dawn that day, Yu Yu, who was wearing a small maid's costume, went to the state government with Lin Jia with A Lan.
In the morning, Lin Jia was busy in the general judgment hall all morning, and Yu Yu acted as his scholar, serving tea and pouring water and studying ink records on the side, and he was also busy, but he did learn a lot of things.
In the afternoon, Lin Jia was busy with business and was a little tired, so he took Yu Yu out of the lobby, planning to take a walk under the corridor and move his muscles.
As soon as he went out, he met Xia Fu, the personal companion of Lord Xia of Zhizhou, and said that Lord Xia invited him to come over to talk.
Lin Jia immediately took Yu Yu and followed Xia Fu.
Who knew that Xia Fu actually took him to Xia Zhiqing's study.
The study was empty, and there was no one at all.
Xia Fu looked apologetic, first asked Lin Jia to sit down, and invited the master himself.
Lin Jia sat there, looking at the study.
This study is in the state office, and he often comes and goes, and it still looks neat and clean, and there seems to be nothing wrong with it.
Yu Yu stood beside Lin Jia, and always felt that the room was a little too fragrant, and it didn't seem like a middle-aged man's study.
Although she stood there, her eyes were looking up and down, left, right, and right in the study.
Lin Jia sat for a while, and suddenly felt that his body was a little strange, his heart was beating faster and faster, and there seemed to be something brewing in his palms and feet, some hot, some itchy, and gradually he felt that something was wrong, and he hurriedly looked at Yu Yu: "There seems to be something wrong with this house!"
Yu Yu was staring at the purple gold incense burner on the carved sandalwood shelf on the side, and when she heard this, she still stared at the incense burner and said, "It should be this incense burner, this fragrance is a little too sweet!"
She looked at Lin Jia, and then realized that something was wrong-Lin Jiaxiu's long phoenix eyes were watery and shiny, and her lips were a little wrong, and her face was flushed.
Yu Yu hurriedly supported Lin Jia: "What's wrong with you?"
Lin Jia was as hard as iron underneath, and he wanted to bend over to cover it, but his body couldn't use any strength at all, so he hurriedly said, "Hurry up and take me out!"
At this time, he still knew that men and women were on guard, and he didn't dare to let Yu Yu carry him out.
Yu Yu reacted quickly, and immediately picked up Lin Jia and rushed out.
At this moment, a scream suddenly came from behind the screen: "Lord Lin! Lin Jia! ”
With a burst of footsteps, a girl with a goose egg face and slender eyes and quite charming eyes chased out, it was Xia Zhiqing's daughter-in-law Xia Manling, and four sturdy mothers-in-law chased behind.
Yu Yu knew that something was wrong, so she immediately ran wildly with Lin Jia in her arms and rushed to the door of the study.
There was a thick brocade curtain covered with water cotton hanging on the door of the study, and Yu Yu hugged Lin Jia on one side, knocked open the brocade curtain and rushed out.
Seeing that the situation was not right, and that it did not match the original plan of the lady and the second girl, the four mothers-in-law immediately stopped thinking about it and hurriedly chased after it.
Yu Yu ran fast with Lin Jia in her arms, but after all, she was holding Lin Jia, her speed was naturally limited, her ears rumbled, and the wheezing and footsteps of the mother-in-law behind her were close at hand.
