Chapter 290: No more youth
Mother Yang observed the tea cup in her hand.
The tea cup is a good plain porcelain, delicate and white, which is Lin Jia's favorite, and Princess Jiang also likes plain porcelain the most.
She said in a low voice: "This kind of plain porcelain produced in the official kiln, your mother liked it the most back then, and Your Majesty was still the king of the county at that time, so he gave her a lot."
Hearing this, Lin Jiafeng's eyes narrowed slightly, and his slender fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of the rosewood circle chair.
Mother Yang knew at a glance that Lin Jia didn't like to hear this, but she wanted to say that she had hidden this secret for more than 20 years, and if she didn't say it, she was afraid that she would not have a chance.
Before she died, the princess told her to tell Lin Jia the secret at the right time.
Now that Lin Jia has become the crown prince, it is time to tell him this secret.
Lin Jia couldn't sit still, frowned and moved her body.
Mother Yang coughed: "The princess and His Majesty were both fourteen or fifteen years old, they were childhood sweethearts, if it weren't for the Queen Mother's opposition."
She looked at the plain porcelain tea cup in her hand, and said in a low voice: "The princess's wedding party went from the capital to Qingzhou, and the last post station was Yizhou Station, and that night His Majesty rode a horse overnight to catch up with the princess, that is, there was His Royal Highness that night."
Lin Jia had actually guessed it a long time ago, but hearing Mother Yang say it with her own ears was another matter.
There was a sudden silence in the room.
The north wind blew on the moonlight paper pasted in the back window, making a subtle "pop" sound.
I don't know how long it took, Lin Jia said in a low voice: "Does Father know?"
Mother Yang's voice was inaudible: "I know."
Lin Jia had mixed feelings in her heart and sat there in a daze.
He would rather not know about these things.
He only knew that although his father was amorous, he loved him very much.
The mother concubine went early, it was Mother Yang who raised him, Mother Yang is his relative, and he will support Mother Yang.
If the matter is so clear, why let him know the secret again?
Mother Yang told the secret, her heart was very relaxed, she raised her eyes to look at Lin Jia, with tears in her eyes: "Ajia, you have to know who your biological father is, some things are yours, they are yours, and others can't take them away!"
With that, she got up and left.
Yu Yu got off the sedan chair and helped Hanlin up the steps.
Ah Qing and Wu Yan stepped forward to salute.
Knowing that Lin Jia was in the east guest room, Yu Yu went straight to the east guest room.
As soon as she entered the east guest room, she saw Lin Jia sitting there in a daze, with no expression on Qingjun's face, and hurriedly walked over: "Ajia, what's wrong?"
Lin Jia raised her eyes to look at Yu Yu, a trace of weakness flashed in her phoenix eyes, and her voice couldn't help but be a little coquettish: "Yu Yu, come and hug me"
Yu Yu sat down on Lin Jia's lap, hugged Lin Jia, and let Lin Jia bury her chest.
Lin Jia sniffed the smell of Yu Yu's body, her heart gradually calmed down, and she was about to speak, when she heard a rush of footsteps outside, followed by A Qing's voice: "Your Highness Qiqi, Mother Yang-"
Yu Yu hurriedly got up and looked at Lin Jia.
Lin Jia's face instantly turned pale, and he hurriedly said, "Come in!"
Ah Qing's face was pale, and her voice trembled: "Your Highness, Mother Yang committed suicide by taking poison"
Lin Jia was dizzy for a while, and immediately said, "Go and invite Mr. Liu!"
In the bedroom of the small courtyard next to the study, Yang's mother was lying upright on the brocade couch, feeling that her life was passing bit by bit.
Ah Jia is the child she brought up, he wants to be filial to himself, but she doesn't want to live to be a burden on Ah Jia, and let others borrow herself to harm Ah Jia.
When the princess went, she had already lived enough, and for the princess's request, she had lived alone for so many more years, and now it was time for relief
Yu Yu wanted to follow Lin Jia, but was stopped by Lin Jia: "You are pregnant and waiting for me here!"
With that, he reached out and touched Yu Yu's sideburns, turned around and went out.
The bedroom was brightly lit.
The furniture is all fine rosewood, which was specially prepared by Yuyu for Yang's mother.
Lin Jia knelt on the ground covered with a velvet blanket in front of the couch, looking at the hand holding Yang's mother tightly, tears welling up in her eyes.
Mother Yang looked at Lin Jia and used all her strength, but her voice was still weak: "Ah Jia, bury me next to the princess."
After insisting on saying this, she closed her eyes and sighed: "Alas, it's so tiring to live"
Lin Jia covered her mouth and cried silently.
At this time, the lights in the Funing Hall of the harem are bright, and the silk and bamboo are melodious.
The rosewood carved rosewood in the main hall sits on the couch, and Emperor Yongtai sits on the small kang table, holding a golden cup while drinking, while enjoying the song and dance performed by the kabuki in the hall.
Now that Empress Jiang is pregnant, Emperor Yongtai attaches great importance to it, and is no longer as fond of the new and disgusted with the old as before, and the six palaces are wet with rain and dew, but a third of the nights of a month are spent in the Funing Palace.
Empress Jiang sat on the other side of the small kang table with a brocade pillow, and accompanied Emperor Yongtai to watch the song and dance.
After a pause in singing and dancing, Empress Jiang touched her bulging abdomen, and her peach blossom eyes were full of surprise: "Your Majesty, the emperor has moved in the belly of the concubine!"
When Emperor Yongtai heard this, he was also happy, and leaned over and said, "Really?"
"Hmm," Empress Jiang nodded, "Your Majesty, touch it!" ”
Emperor Yongtai reached in and touched it, and found that Empress Jiang's belly was really bulging, very similar to the shape of a small hand, and couldn't help laughing: "It's amazing!"
He also said: "The queen must take care of herself, and give birth to a prince or princess for me in the future!"
Empress Jiang looked happy: "Your Majesty, this is your only heir, the concubine will naturally be cautious!"
When Emperor Yongtai heard this, his smile froze, and he said in his heart: This is not my only heir, I already have a son!
He remembered the scene of Lin Jia roaring in the imperial study in the morning, and couldn't help touching his nose, and said in his heart: Isn't it just that a few concubines were arranged for him, Ajia is angry like this, what a stupid child!
In the early morning of the next day, before Emperor Yongtai left, Lichun came in to report: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, Concubine Liang, Concubine Hui, Concubine Wan, Guiren, Liang Meiren and Sun Meiren ask to see!"
Empress Jiang, who was waiting for her makeup by the palace maids, heard this, and looked at Emperor Yongtai with a smile: "Your Majesty"
Seeing that the young queen was jealous of herself, Emperor Yongtai felt happy in his heart, got up in a dashing manner, and walked behind Queen Jiang.
Qingming was busy with the palace maid who was dressing and knelt on the ground covered with a cyan velvet blanket.
Emperor Yongtai leaned over, kissed the corner of Empress Jiang's lips, and raised his eyes to look at himself and Empress Jiang in the mirror.
Empress Jiang also looked at herself and Emperor Yongtai in the mirror, one is a beautiful girl, and the other is not confused when she is young, how can she match?
There was no smile in her eyes, but the smile on her face grew brighter.
Emperor Yongtai thought that he was still the merry young man of the year, and walked out in a romantic manner.
When passing by the concubines waiting outside, he glanced over and gave Concubine Gui Liang a look - these concubines, Concubine Gui Liang on the bed is the most suitable for him!
Concubine Guiliang received the hint from Emperor Yongtai, pursed her lips and smiled, and prepared to sleep at night.
After the court meeting dispersed, Emperor Yongtai took Lin Jia to the East Palace, which is still empty.
Last year, he planned to appoint Lin Jia as the crown prince, so he specially asked the Ministry of Industry to repair the East Palace.
Today's weather is sunny, under the blue sky in winter, the yellow tiles, red walls and green trees are as beautiful as a painting.
Standing on the observation deck of the East Palace, Emperor Yongtai opened his mouth and asked Lin Jia, "What happened?"
Ajia's face is pale, her eyes are slightly in the abdomen, and her eyes are blue as if she has just cried, so it's no wonder that she is fine!
Lin Jia looked at the verdant pine cypress in front of him and said in a low voice: "Father, my nurse went last night."
Emperor Yongtai was stunned when he heard this, and the phoenix eye, which was very similar to Lin Jia, looked ahead in a daze, and said for a long time: "Your nurse? Is it Hualien? I remember her surname and her husband's surname Yang."
Lin Jia said "um" and said, "Before she died, she told me to bury her next to my mother's tomb in Qingzhou."
When Emperor Yongtai heard this, his face instantly turned pale, and his lips trembled slightly.
He wanted to say, "When I come to the funeral, move your mother's bones to the imperial tomb to accompany me", but what face does he have to see Shu Yan?
He has long been filthy, and he is no longer the innocent boy he used to be
After a long time, Emperor Yongtai said quietly: "The king of Xingping County is also in the capital now, and you are also in the capital, it is better to send someone to find a feng shui treasure near the capital, and move your mother over for you to see her, and it is also convenient for me to see the Songshan Palace."
The mausoleum he is building is at the foot of the Songshan Palace.
Lin Jia didn't speak, and Liang Jiufang said "um".
Emperor Yongtai saw that Lin Jia agreed, so he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Lin Jia really found a piece of feng shui treasure at the foot of Songshan Mountain, buried Mother Yang in it first, and then sent Ah Lan to Qingzhou to move the grave of Princess Jiang.
After Yang's mother's funeral, Lin Jia was quite tired, so she rested at home for a day to accompany Yuyu and Ayinaya.
This morning, Lin Jia was reading to Ah Yin and Naya, and Ye Luxiao came over to plead that he wanted to go to the Dutingyi State Guesthouse in Guanghuafang to visit Emperor Liao and Empress Tianqi.
