CHAPTER XXVIII
"No need, my mother and second sister-in-law will go with me, besides, if you go, it will inevitably be a big fanfare. The queen mother likes to be quiet, and she will be considerate of you. ”
Shangguan Jun nodded, and fell silent again. Yin Jingchen intuitively felt that Shangguan Jun had something to say today, but after waiting for a long time, she didn't speak, so she poked his waist and tilted her head and teased: "Have something to say?" ”
Shangguan Jun pinched her chin and shook her head: "I just want to take a good look at you." ”
Shangguan Jun originally wanted to talk to her about choosing a concubine, but when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say anything, although there was a reason for this incident, but it was difficult to say it when he saw her like this. He didn't know what was wrong with him, and he would never be afraid to do what he wanted to do before, but this time he was a little torn when he thought of her.
"Chen'er, there are many things we can't help ourselves now..... One day our ideas collide, will you still walk with me? ”
"What's wrong with you today, of course I will always stand by your side, no matter how difficult it is, I will accompany you on the way. Sometimes, I can't help it, if it weren't for me, how would you be living so unwillingly. ”
Shangguan Jun smiled softly and held her in his arms. He said softly: "You go to see the queen mother first, and wait for you to come back..... Let's ..... again" "I have something to discuss with you." Before he could say this, Jing Chen took the initiative to kiss him on the lips. I swallowed this sentence in my stomach.
"Tomorrow you also want to accompany Jing Chen to see the Queen Mother?" Shangguan Han looked at the little girl in his arms sucking her little hands, dancing, babbling and laughing.
Li Yuni shook her head helplessly. "I'm going to hold the baby, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back that day." Shangguan Han sighed.
"I heard Yu Shu say that my eldest cousin hasn't been at home often lately, is there any change in the army?"
"If there is any change, I'm afraid there will be a war."
"Where to hit first, south?"
Shangguan Han was noncommittal, and Li Yuni let out a long sigh.
"What are the odds?"
"As long as Dong Yulin doesn't stick a knife in the back, the third child is still confident."
At the mention of Dong Yulin, Li Yuni sighed again.
Shangguan Han was unhappy: "What are you sighing for, making me upset." ”
"Won't I be annoyed, you men think about the family and the country every day, the power position, we women just want to be single-minded, and everything is prosperous, and it is not satisfactory."
Shangguan Han glanced at him, "Short-sighted, there is no man to calm the world for you, how can you be stable and peaceful, Ying'er is very good, if Ying'er is not good, let alone the third child, even the eldest cousin will not tolerate Dong Yulin." ”
Li Yuni's eyes widened in surprise: "How do you know...... Could it be .....? ”
Shangguan Jun scolded angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, stop this matter, don't mention it again in the future." ”
Li Yuni pursed her lips and prepared to sleep. Leaving Shangguan Han to look at the night sky.
Everything is well arranged, and it seems to be seamless, but in fact they are all gambling. Take fate as a bet, the winner is the king and the loser is Kou. And neither Lu Ming nor Dong Yulin will sit still, and I am afraid that no one will have a good time in the next days.
Guan Jun has explained that the matter of choosing a concubine should not be publicized, so only women of the right age are selected among the important ministers. Because Shangguan Jun intended to win over Chen Mao, he specially instructed someone to bring his meaning to Chen Mao, and brought his own handwritten letter to Chen Mao's daughter Chen Yin. Shangguan Jun's intentions, Chen Mao is self-evident. In his heart, he didn't want to get involved in this dispute, but the world didn't allow him to stand idly by. A choice must be made now. Just when he was choosing between Shangguan Jun and Dong Yulin, his daughter Chen Yin found him.
"Dad, are you still hesitating, are you considering who gives the conditions that are good enough?"
Chen Mao blew his beard and glared, and glanced at his daughter: "Don't mix this kind of thing with the girl's family." ”
"Dad, what if I let you choose Shangguan Jun?"
"Why?"
"At that time, the Yellow River flooded, and he was the benefactor who saved me in Shaanxi, he was different from other family members, he wanted to help those victims from the bottom of his heart, rather than gilding them by performing tasks, I believe he would be a good emperor."
"Also, I..... The first time I saw him..... "Chen Mao looked at his daughter's spitting and spitting appearance, and knew it in his heart.
"You've really figured it out?" Chen Mao questioned Chen Yin.....
Chen Yin nodded without hesitation. It can be said that she has been waiting for this moment for a long time, and the heartbeat when she first saw it is vivid. He disappeared quietly, her empty heart, she thought they were destined to die in this life, but now God favored her again, she was grateful for her identity, so that she had the ability to stand by his side.
On that day, Chen Yin left by car with the selected person. After the group left, Chen Mao immediately sent a letter to Shangguan Jun, even if he made a choice, he still had to fight for a glory for this most beloved daughter, after all, the daughter of the Chen family was also a daughter, no worse than the previous princess.
After more than ten days of traveling, Chen Yin and his entourage finally came to Shangjing. It was arranged at the post station that night, and it was not until the next day that he could enter the palace. For the second meeting with Shangguan Jun, Chen Yin is full of expectations. It was incredible that she could be in the same world as the man she dreamed of, and after today and tomorrow, she would have to live with him, breathing the same air, and she was inexplicably nervous.
Yin Jingchen and Shangguan's wife Li Yuni went to visit Empress Yin with a birthday gift. Empress Yin was very happy, and left Mrs. Shangguan and Li Yuni for one night before the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went back. Jing Chen stayed with her for a few more days because she hadn't seen her for a long time. Unexpectedly, Empress Yin was infected with the wind and cold, Jingchen was worried about her body, and Yin Jingchen returned to the palace only after Empress Yin's body fully recovered. This back and forth was delayed for nearly two months.
However, during this period, the palace underwent earth-shaking changes. When Jingchen left, it was still a bleak scene, but at this time, the willows were still around, the peach blossoms reflected each other, the wind blew down, and the flowers and shadows were colorful. It's not lively. This kind of scenery swept away the haze for many days, and Jing Chen rarely wanted to enjoy it, so he ordered Yu Xianlong to stop. Sycamore helped her out of the carriage.
Because she thought that the most beautiful place for the peach blossoms to bloom at this time was the Meditation Palace, she walked and enjoyed the scenery until she arrived at the Meditation Palace. Before he reached the palace gate, he heard a commotion mixed with the sound of a woman laughing. At this time, there were still people in this place, Jing Chen was very surprised, so he raised his feet and walked in. With this step, I saw a group of palace maids and eunuchs standing in the courtyard, and several women in gorgeous clothes standing in the garden, looking at themselves timidly. A "Meet the Queen" woke her up.
Wutong motioned to the grandmother next to her, and the old grandmother leaned over and replied: "Yu Niangniang, these are the newly selected concubines for the emperor." Wutong looked at Yin Jingchen with an embarrassed expression in surprise. Jing Chen resisted the urge to leave with his sleeves flicked away, and walked towards the courtyard with a steady mind. glanced at the four young women standing in the courtyard. One of them was dressed in green. There was no fear in the face of her, unlike the three who were not timid in their eyes at her. That kind of confidence from the inside out made Jing Chen couldn't help but take a few more looks. In just a moment, Yin Jingchen was stunned, and his eyebrows and eyes seemed to be familiar with that person.
She immediately smiled and couldn't help asking, "Whose girl is this?" ”
The woman in green gave a salute: "The courtier Chen Yin, I have seen my mother." This answer that was neither humble nor arrogant made Yin Jingchen feel uplifted.
She has only been away for two months, and this palace has a new look, and she really doesn't know where to go, and the peach blossoms are still smiling.
On the way back, Yin Jingchen thought a lot, and it was self-evident that Shangguan Jun chose a concubine at this time. But in the end, it is really a last resort, or it is easy to push the boat and kill two birds with one stone. She wanted to hear his explanation.
The news of Yin Jingchen's return to the palace and his stay in the Jingxin Palace reached Shangguan Jun's ears for the first time. At this time, he was discussing the deployment plan with Guan Liren. After hearing the news that Jing Chen had been to the Meditation Palace, he couldn't help frowning. Guan Liren had a look of watching the show. Nor are they spoken. From Shangguan Jun's several wandering minds, he knew that Shangguan Jun was in trouble this time.
Jing Chen resisted the urge to question Shangguan Jun in person, and when she returned to the palace, she couldn't calm down for a long time, she was born in the emperor's family, and there were three thousand beauties in the harem, and she had long been accustomed to the matter of replacing the old with the new. But he actually took advantage of her absence to quietly do such a thing. What did he take her for, and when he left, he said that he was waiting for her to come back, and this is the surprise he waited for her to come back? As long as she thought of Chen Yin's shallow smile and eyebrows, she wanted to slam the table angrily.
Just when Yin Jingchen was anxious, Shangguan Jun appeared in the queen's palace. Wutong looked at the two who fell silent, and called away a group of people and others. When only the two of them were left, Shangguan Jun broke the silence: "Is the queen mother feeling better?" ”
Yin Jingchen glanced at him, suppressed her anger, and said what she said, but it still revealed her mood. "I'm tired of worrying about the emperor, my queen mother is all right."
Shangguan Jun was not angry with this vicious tone, and at this moment her appearance fell into his eyes like a cat that had been provoked, ready to show her claws and give the enemy a blow at any time. He held back a smile and walked over to her and stretched out his hand to grab her hand, but she dodged him. Shangguan Jun took another step forward, and Yin Jingchen was imprisoned in his arms before he could dodge.
The more she struggled, the tighter he held it. "I know you've been to the Meditation Palace, Chen'er, there are some things I want you to understand that I can't help myself. Although I was tired of this way too, ....."
"That's why you agree to Ying'er on this path." Yin Jingchen interrupted him, "I used to be shameless in my behavior, but I didn't expect it to happen to me again, but now it happened to my man, of course, the harem has been so intricate since ancient times, but it is you who disappointed me." ”
"I admit ....."
"I don't object to you, but Chen Yin can't." The two spoke almost in unison. Shangguan Jun looked at Yin Jingchen and let go of her after hearing what she said.
