Chapter 189: Shocking
The clan wife at the head of the class congratulated, and after the complicated ceremony, the chamberlain began to hold a banquet, and fireworks were also fired outside the Yilan Hall.
The palace people held lanterns and danced, and there were dancers wearing feudal costumes dancing in the lotus lanterns.
Everyone whispered to each other.
Princess Xianjun said: "After the queen mother fell ill, there have been few singing and dancing in the palace, and even at the palace banquet, I can't see so many dancers. ”
Lin Yi looked at it and smiled: "The queen's health is getting better, and the emperor is also happy." ”
"That's natural," Princess Xianjun lowered her voice, "The queen mother is the only one who is carried into the palace through the main gate, and when the mother is the most sick, the emperor said that only the queen mother will be the queen." ”
Whether it is guilt or true feelings, in short, it is a promise to the queen.
The queen's temples and phoenixes hung low, and the brilliance between her eyebrows and eyes flashed, and Concubine Hui next to her was wearing an apricot red dress, and her face was ruddy like a newly blooming rose.
The queen is dignified, and the concubine is delicate. After all, the young couple in the past have been separated for many years, and I don't know if they can reach the young and beautiful gentle township.
Lin Yi and Princess Xianjun were talking. The little palace man brought a plate of snacks, "The fifth princess asked the slave maid to send it to Princess Kangjun." ”
Lin Yi raised her head and looked at Miss Ning Ping Hou Wu opposite, and Miss Ning Ping Hou Wu smiled at Lin Yi with kindness on her face. Such a kind fifth princess, Lin Yi also thanked her respectfully.
The five princes are very hot in front of the emperor these days, and they summoned the five princes to the south study for several days. The fifth princess was so kind to Lin Yi that she immediately attracted the envy of the people next to her.
After a burst of fireworks, the emperor arrived, everyone got up to greet each other, and the emperor smiled and instructed the people around him, "Write the flower hall and let it out, please ask your ancestors to bless me Da Zhou." ”
The emperor was particularly happy, and specially asked the officials of the Hanlin Yuan to write the sacrificial words and then put the lotus lantern into the Taiye Pool.
Countless lights lit up on the surface of the clear water of the Taiye Pool, and the emperor helped the Queen Mother to take everyone to watch, and the stars in the sky seemed to fall in the lake. The entire pool of liquid is brighter than the night sky.
After seeing the lanterns, the emperor personally put the Kong Ming lantern, wishing the Queen Mother a longevity than Nanshan, and wishing the Great Zhou Dynasty prosperity for ten thousand years. The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother and all the mothers all wrote lantern riddles to have fun with the wives.
The palace people brought up the gifts. Just wait for someone to guess the riddle and take it out as a reward.
The five princesses were very interested, and others guessed two first, and immediately got a jade ruyi and a delicate unicorn golden lock.
The Queen Mother looked at her with a smile on her face, "Qilin sends a child, this is an excellent omen." ”
The fifth princess shyly smiled at the Queen Mother's auspicious words.
After Ning Ping Hou Wu got married, she was very different from before, her temperament was a lot more restrained, and she was more tactful in front of her. But he couldn't change his competitive temperament, so he left the other princesses behind.
The women also got pen and paper, the princess of Xianjun had guessed several but did not write, Lin Yi also smiled and watched the excitement, most of the time passed, Lin Yi started to write one, and the princess of Xianjun guessed the two extremely difficult to let the inner servant send it.
The waiter slowly reported the riddle, and everyone laughed below.
The emperor took the congratulatory words of the civil and military officials to evaluate. The Empress Dowager valued the rhetoric of several people, and the emperor smiled and said: "The queen mother will choose, and it is our Zheng Ge Lao, the official department Shangshu, the champion Lang and the Tanhualang's pen and paper." ”
The lady guesses the lantern riddle. The civil officials are fighting pens downstairs, and this year's Midyear Festival is particularly lively.
The emperor smiled heartily a few times, and the rewards were sent out in a steady stream.
It's really a celebration for the whole world.
The entire North Sea was heavily guarded, and officials patrolled around on horseback. Princess Xianjun pulled Lin Yi and said, "The prince of Kangjun is really hard. ”
The military attache in Beijing is like this, the more festive the festival, the busier his feet do not touch the ground.
The emperor was talking to the queen mother, and the chamberlain hurriedly entered the house to pray, the emperor's smile suddenly froze on his face, and Yilantang suddenly quieted down.
The Queen Mother and the Empress looked at the Emperor with concern.
The emperor got up and ordered the banquet to go as usual, and he walked out quickly with his chamberlain.
The ladies looked at each other, and the queen sent someone to inquire about the news. Jiang Shi took advantage of everyone's inattention to look down at the outside of Yilan Hall, and then came back and said in a low voice: "The guards outside have walked a lot, and something is probably wrong." ”
There was nervousness in everyone's eyes.
The queen whispered something to the queen mother, the queen mother frowned, and the concubine next to her looked at her sister the fifth princess casually.
The Queen Mother said: "Why is it today? ”
The queen thought slightly, "It's about filial piety." When the scholars worship their ancestors, they do not forget to worship the saint Confucius. ”
The queen mother's long nails touched the tea bowl in her hand, and she said: "In recent years, the emperor has emphasized the imperial examination, and he has rebuilt the Confucian Temple, and the princes have always respected their teachers, and the status of the Confucian saints is much higher than that of the previous dynasty, what are those Confucian scholars doing?" ”
There must be a reason why Confucian scholars will not make trouble for no reason.
The Queen Mother sent someone to inquire and whispered to the Empress, "The emperor has something to do, and the time is almost up, so the banquet will be dispersed." ”
The queen should come down, "I will let people prepare." ”
The head of the Queen Mother.
Here, Lin Yi also heard some words.
The ancestors of the in-law family were famous Confucian scholars, and there were hundreds of disciples in the Jiangnan area. The former emperor of the dead country fled to Jiangnan to establish Nanchen, the in-laws are one of the few loyal ministers who still serve the monarch, after the destruction of the Nanchen, the ancestors of the in-laws were also martyred, the emperor of the Great Zhou Taizu respected the loyal people, and did not pursue the guilt of the in-laws, but the in-laws refused to enter the court as officials.
There are many Confucian students in the south of the Yangtze River, and most of them who can do something about Confucianism have been assigned by the ancestors of the in-laws, and the disciples are passed on to the disciples, so that the reputation of the in-laws is undiminished although they have escaped from the world.
I don't know who spread the news that the emperor was going to give the in-laws diehard, and the Confucian scholars in the capital made a fuss during the Midyear Festival. From the in-laws to the Great Zhou Dynasty, he held the statue of Sage Confucius on the street, and came to Beihai to seek justice for the Confucian scholars in the world.
Princess Xianjun pulled Lin Yi, "You should know, it is said that the news came from you, the emperor gave the marriage family Zhongyong Marquis, even if the marriage Fengzhu is not accepted now, the marriage Fengzhu must have gone to sea and there is no return, the emperor will posthumously give it back then, and the in-laws have no reason to refuse, as long as the hat of the Zhongyong Marquis is buttoned, the in-laws have no excuse if they want to contribute to the court, unless the in-laws are exterminated ......"
Such news. Lin Yi's eyes tightened, "Where do I dare to spread this kind of news." "Just because Yuqiu is her husband, she can't dodge, where will she fall into the hands of others.
Princess Xianjun nodded. "How I don't know, it's just that you are close to your in-laws, and Mr. Yuqiu is also the ...... you sent out of Beijing," he said, looking at the Queen Mother and the Empress, "I'm afraid someone will believe it." ”
Princess Xianjun said a little less.
The proximity of her to her in-laws is certainly a reason to believe. The most important thing is that the news that the emperor wants to make his in-laws loyal is indeed true.
Together, these two things are not to be believed.
Some people already knew that Confucian students would make trouble during the Midyear Festival, so in the clan camp just now, many people laughed faintly. Lin Yi knew that the Midyear Festival would not be peaceful...... Lin Yi looked at Princess Xianjun, "I didn't expect Confucianism to make trouble." ”
Princess Xianjun's face tightened, "The prince of our family has never mentioned marriage and family affairs, so I don't know either." ”
Princess Xianjun had already reminded her if she knew.
"Still stunned for what to do." Jiang Shi came over with a toast, "It's time to think of a way to get out." "In front of everyone's eyes, being called by the Queen Mother and the Queen to ask will always lose face, how can you avoid today.
Lin Yi turned her head to look at Jiang.
Jiang said: "Princess Kangjun's illness has not recovered yet, and now the wind is blowing and her body is not comfortable, I will go to tell the queen mother on behalf of Princess Kangjun," said Wei Pao, "The hour is not early." It's not bad to take the first step, and everyone knows that you are sick, even if the queen doesn't allow it. Let the imperial doctor around you help diagnose and treat, and you can also avoid so many people. ”
Although Lin Yi and Jiang met for the first time, Jiang's expression was sincere and he was thinking about her.
Princess Xianjun also agreed, the queen's illness has improved thanks to Mr. Yuqiu, and at this time, she will naturally defend Princess Kangjun.
Lin Yi shook her head, "I left at this time and fell to the truth, now call me over and ask, I can still plead." ”
Jiang and Princess Xianjun glanced at each other, and this is also the reason.
"I'm afraid you're having a hard time arguing." Jiang Shi reminded Lin Yi, "Now that you have to think about it, you will say it in a while, and the Queen Mother will not leave you too much time." Jiang Shi said and looked at the entire Yilan Hall again, "There is no one else who can speak for you now." ”
Jiang Shi meant that Old Madam Zhou did not come, but Jiang Shi's gaze changed a little in a blink of an eye.
That's not a bad thing either. Since Mrs. Zhou intends to dodge, even if she comes, she will not say anything good.
The queen helped the queen mother to the inner room to rest first.
Lin Yi took a deep breath.
Jiang and Princess Xianjun also sat down next to them and talked as if they were nothing.
After a while, Concubine Hui announced that the banquet was over, and the palace people went to prepare the carriage and horses, and everyone waited for the queen mother's warm sedan chair to the door.
Everyone pretended to know nothing on the surface, and when their eyes flickered, they were all looking at Lin Yi's side.
The warm sedan car failed to arrive at Yilan Hall on time, and the Confucian students crowded at the gate of Beihai, the emperor meant to wait for a while to be safe before he could send the Queen Mother back to Cining Palace.
After such a delay, it is impossible for the Queen Mother not to ask.
The women deliberately gathered aside, and if Lin Yi hadn't had Jiang and Princess Xianjun here, she would have been left alone.
About a cup of tea passed.
The female official walked up to Lin Yi and saluted Lin Yi, "Princess Kangjun, the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother passed you over." ”
The stone that had been waiting for a long time finally fell.
Lin Yi followed the female officer step by step, and there was silence behind her. The curtain has been opened, and the county lord of Huihe, the princess of Xianjun and others are full of anxiety, and those who have contributed to the whole thing are now waiting to see the results.
Lin Yi walked into the inner room, the Queen Mother was sitting on the soft couch, twisting the Buddha beads in her hand, and the Queen Mother was sitting and talking.
Lin Yi stepped forward to salute, the Queen Mother quietly let Lin Yi get up, the female official hurriedly brought the brocade over, Lin Yi sat down, just waiting for the Queen Mother to speak.
The female official closed the partition door in the inner room, and the queen mother said: "The queen's illness can only be cured by the medicine taken by Princess Kangjun." "The face is calm and there is no special expression.
The queen smiled and said: "I heard that Princess Kangjun's medicinal diet is also good, so I will say a few things to the female official one day, and let the imperial kitchen also make it." ”
Lin Yi hurriedly said respectfully: "It's all done by the concubine at home, and I don't dare to show it in front of my mother." ”
The queen smiled and asked Aunt Lin Yi Zhou and the old lady of the Hou family in Guangping.
Lin Yi answered them one by one.
The queen took a sip of tea, and the expression on her face was slightly tight, "In the past few days, some words have reached the ears of this palace, and they are related to the in-laws, and it just so happens that you are here today, so I will call you to ask." ”
Lin Yi's face changed suddenly, and her eyes turned red when she was in a hurry, "The queen mother also heard someone say when she was a concubine just now." It's the concubine's indiscriminate marriage...... That's why we have today's turmoil...... The concubine is not a woman, where does she have this ability, those words are unheard of...... The concubine studied under Mr. Yuqiu, and since her in-laws entered Beijing. The concubine and Mr. rarely meet each other, just to avoid suspicion, but after all, the concubine and Mr. Yuqiu have the right master and apprentice, so they will cut off contact if it is not good. ”
The queen mother hesitated for a moment, "How could Mr. Yuqiu be in a hurry to return to Funing?" ”
Lin Yi said in a low voice: "I don't know if the concubine body should be said, and the concubine body is also known inadvertently." ”
The Queen Mother raised her eyes and said kindly: "It's okay for you to say it." ”
Lin Yi nervously wiped the tip of her nose with a handkerchief and said, "Mr. Yuqiu received a letter from home, and the old lady is going to enter the capital. The old lady was not in good health, and Mr. was worried that there would be something wrong on the road, and the in-laws only brought a few people to Beijing, so Mr. Yuqiu found a dart bureau from Beijing to pick up the old lady. ”
The Queen Mother was a little surprised, and the Queen Mother also said in surprise: "So that's the case, how could the old lady suddenly come to Beijing?" ”
Lin Yi shook her head, "The concubine doesn't know either." The old lady had already set off from Funing, but she was seriously ill on the way and was delayed. ”
The Queen Mother listened carefully.
Lin Yi continued: "I heard Mr. Yuqiu say that Gongzi Fengzhu has written a book of "Law Shu" at home over the years. The old lady in marriage entered Beijing about something to do with this book. ”
The queen mother looked at the queen mother, ""Law Shu"? ”
The Vinaya is generally a detailed explanation of the laws of the dynasty. In other words, the in-laws still have the heart to serve the country.
Lin Yi said: "I have never dared to tell others about the concubine, and I don't know where those rumors about the in-laws came from. ”
That's what Princess Kangjun just said. The Queen Mother and the Queen Mother had never heard a single word, if Princess Kangjun was talking nonsense, these words were hidden so tightly.
The queen said: "The rumors are not credible in the first place. ”
What can't be used by people with a heart? The relationship between the Chen family and the in-laws is easy to gossip......
Lin Yi wiped the corners of her eyes with a silk, "A few days ago, the concubine made medicine for the queen's mother, and it was rumored outside that the concubine was not compatible with the prince of the county...... The concubine's mother's family is also very worried, and the concubine's grandmother is also anxious and sick because of this, and the concubine is speechless...... Some words are not deep or shallow, and I don't know how to explain them. ”
It's not deep, it's not shallow. This is like talking about the inner house.
Although it is said that the inner house cannot be mixed with political affairs, how many officials have ruined their future due to a fire in the backyard. The former master of the Hanlin Academy leaked the candidates for the chief military officer to be appointed by the imperial court to his wife in advance, and the lady spread the banquet in the inner mansion, and the emperor learned that Long Yan was furious, so he dismissed the master of the academy.
This incident has caused a lot of uproar.
Princess Kangjun was born in the noble family, and she should know how powerful it is.
In the court, the official mouth must be strict, and the housewife cannot be ambiguous.
That's it. The female official came in and said, "The queen mother's soft sedan has arrived." ”
The Confucian scholars outside have been cleared.
The attendant who waited for the Queen Mother hurriedly arranged a warm sedan chair.
The Queen Mother looked at Lin Yi before getting up, "It's not easy for you to be young...... But don't be resentful because of this, the housewife of any family has come over like this, and some things have to be learned from the elders. ”
Lin Yi hurriedly saluted.
The Queen Mother drove back to Cining Palace, and Lin Yi withdrew from the inner room.
"How?" Princess Xianjun sweated for Lin Yi.
Lin Yi bowed her head, "No scolding." ”
Princess Xianjun breathed a sigh of relief, "It's really scary, my legs are still soft, and you can still walk out safely." ”
No matter how calm you are, you will inevitably have a fast heartbeat and cold hands and feet.
Jiang Shi came over with a cup of hot tea, Lin Yi received it in her hand and thanked her, took a sip of tea, Lin Yi felt a lot calmer, and then raised her head to look at Jiang, I don't know why, she once again had a sense of déjà vu with Jiang, but after thinking about it carefully, she couldn't have met Jiang, counting large and small banquets, and she had no contact with Jiang.
Why is that?
……
In the main palace of Beihai, the chamberlain told the emperor, "The queen mother has set off to return to Cining Palace, and the imperial chariot is also ready, whether the emperor will return to the palace." ”
The emperor raised his head from the fold and instructed the chamberlain, "Send the queen back first, and then I will leave later." ”
The chamberlain bowed his head and bowed, slowly retreated, and closed the small door on the side of the hall.
In the main hall, there were Zheng Ge Lao, the master of the Hanlin Academy, and the in-law Fengzhu.
"Can you tell the words of the Confucian students outside to the marriage Fengzhu?" The emperor asked Zheng Ge Elder lightly.
Zheng Ge Lao said: "Weichen has already said it to Marriage Fengzhu. ”
There was silence in the hall for a while, the emperor put down the pen in his hand, moved his stiff wrist, and then raised his eyes to look at the marriage Fengzhu, "Tell me, what do you think about today's events?" ”
The emperor's voice seemed to be calm and thunderous.
"It's the fault of the courtiers."
The emperor didn't seem to want to say who was right and who was wrong at this time, but stood up and lifted the green cloth curtain behind him to reveal the books inside, and took out one casually, "I have been in the palace library when I was a child, I heard that the current library is the private treasury of the emperor of the previous dynasty, which was full of gold, silver and jewelry, when my Great Zhou army entered the palace and opened the private treasury, the silver in it had turned black, and that was the case, the emperor of the previous dynasty refused to take out the silver for military funds," the emperor put the book in his hand back to its original place, "Many of the things I heard brought personal judgment, Maybe it's not true, your in-laws used to be important ministers in the former dynasty, so let's be fair now, whether this matter is true. ”
