Chapter 197

In Shangjing, the biggest event in September is the crown prince's choice of concubines. At the beginning of the new dynasty, although the current dynasty has reduced taxes since its accession to the throne, opened the national warehouse, donated grain to the people, and made great efforts to govern the country, the foundation is weak after all. During the reign of the first emperor, it was the first empress dowager Liu who was in power, and the situation was stable when he checked and balanced each other with the Wen Xiang.

But after ascending the throne today, the Liu family and his party were wiped out, beheaded and exiled, and the Liu family's power suddenly collapsed overnight, so the party of the prime minister of the dynasty and Chinese was uncontrollable. There are many protégés of Prime Minister Wen, even if Prime Minister Wen himself has no intention of rebelling, but after all, the existence of Prime Minister Wen's party has formed the biggest threat to the Heavenly Family.

Wen Xiang is old, but he refuses to be a leader, and now he is still in an important position in the court. Today, he has been reminded many times in the dark, but Wen Xiang pretended not to understand, obviously unwilling to hand over his power and retreat from the temple. Although he didn't say it in his mouth, he knew it very well in his heart, and he thought he had some calculations in his heart.

The much-talked-about selection of the prince's concubine came to an end, and because the eldest girl of the Lu family was riddled with strange diseases, she took a step back and chose Xuanfang, the second daughter of Xuan Shilang, as the prince Liangdi. After Lin Wan learned the news, she sat quietly in front of the window and thought for a while, she didn't know if Xuan Fang already had a wishful husband.

I don't know if I helped Lu Quan escape if he harmed Xuanfang.

It's already October, and the weather is getting cooler and cooler day by day, and the early morning wind blows on people's faces with cold air, which hurts a little.

Lin Wan sat in front of the window for a long time, felt the cold, instinctively hugged his arms, and then turned his head to look for his daughter.

Since Chaoyang got Xiaohua and Xiaocai, he has been whispering all day long, and he has been with Xiaohua Xiaocai for longer time every day than his father and mother. Lin Wan saw that her daughter was having fun, got up and walked to her lightly, and asked with a smile: "Chaoyang, you play with Xiaohua Xiaocai at home, and your mother will go out, okay?"

The two birdcages hung low, and Chaoyang stood at the table, staring up at the birdcage.

She only learned a few words from her mother last night, so today she said very proudly in front of the two parrots, Xiaohua and Xiaocai are very smart, they can say whatever Chaoyang says, and the tone of speech is exactly the same as Chaoyang. Chaoyang hasn't seen such a fun thing yet, he just cares about playing with Xiaohua Xiaocai, but he doesn't pay attention to his mother.

"Okay, Chaoyang will be good. Chaoyang listened to his mother's words and nodded in response.

"Chaoyang is really sensible, my mother loves you the most. Lin Wan leaned over and hugged her daughter, and then handed Chaoyang over to the painting hall to take care of, and she got up and told Shaoguang to pack some things, planning to go to Xuanshilang's mansion. Xuanfang and her are sisters, and when she learned that Xuanfang was about to become the crown prince Liangdi, she should prepare some gifts to send over.

Xuan Fang and Lin Wan are friends who first became enemies, although the two have not been friends for a long time, but they have a good relationship.

Xuan Fang is different from her eldest sister Xuan Ping, Xuan Fang is very straightforward in nature, and will never be bullied, but she will not harm others. There is no room for sand in the eyes, but if you find that it is your fault, you will immediately admit your mistake. She has a bit of a boyish temperament, and she also dances knives and guns all day long, but she is very compatible with Lin Wan.

Hearing the little girl who was waiting in front of her say that Princess Jin was here, Xuanfang, who was staying in the room embroidering, was restless, and she couldn't even hold her upbringing. She practiced martial arts a little, and she had a lot of brute strength in her body, subdued her subordinates in a few strokes, and then ran outside the door to meet Lin Wan.

Lin Wan saw her like this, and said with a smile: "Sister Xuan is all people who are going to get married, why are they still bouncing?"

Xuan Fang's slightly dark face turned red instantly, and then he took Lin Wan's hand and said, "You came just in time, I have a lot of things to say to you, you don't know, I've been suffocated to death these days." Xuan Fang complained while laughing happily, and then glared at the little girls who were taking care of her, "Princess Jin is here, she is here to see me, you all go out." ”

Then he looked at Mama Xi, but with some respect, he said with a smile: "Mama, I've learned enough today, I'm really tired." You see if this will work, let's stop here today, I must study hard tomorrow, okay?" But seeing that the old lady's face was always straight, she ran over and said, "Please, I'm going to suffocate to death these days, and it's hard for someone to come to see me." ”

The teaching mother still didn't smile, her body stood upright, and she only looked at Xuan Fang with lowered eyes and said, "Okay." ”

After that, he saluted Lin Wanfu again, and then went out.

There were only two sisters left in the house, and there was also a personal girl of Xuan Fang, Xuan Fang instructed: "Princess Jin is here, you go make a pot of tea, and bring some snacks." But after seeing the girl go out, Xuan Fang grinned and held Lin Wan's hand tightly, "Sister Zhou and Ling'er didn't come to see me, but my mother also invited Mama Xi to come and reprimand me all day long, I was bored and tired, it's really not a human life." I wanted to go out for a horseback ride, but my mother scolded me and took pity on me. I'm glad you're here, so you can talk to me. ”

Lin Wan said: "Madame is also for your good, the person you married is the prince, and the place where you marry is the East Palace." You will definitely not be the only one who will serve the prince in the future, so the lady invited Mama Xi to teach you some palace etiquette. She turned her head to look out, and said, "That grandmother looks like she has been in the palace before, you should follow along." ”

"I see. Xuan Fang smiled, suddenly stopped again, and then lowered her head with a red face.

"What's wrong?" Lin Wan looked at her like this, and she understood a little in her heart, afraid that she also really wanted to marry the prince, "His Royal Highness the prince is indeed gentle and amiable, if you marry, he will not treat you badly." However, Sister Xuan, will you feel uncomfortable serving with so many women in the future?"

Xuan Fang twisted Lin Wan with a red face, and then said: "A few days ago, the queen mother announced that my mother went to the palace, saying that the queen and His Royal Highness the crown prince had taken a fancy to me and asked me to be the prince Liangdi. You also know that I was used to it since I was a child, where would I have thought that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would choose me. She paused, and then said, "Last time I was in the Empress Zhengyang Palace, I saw His Royal Highness, as you said, gentle and amiable, and good-looking. ”

Lin Wan said: "I thought you would be unhappy, so I thought about accompanying you, but I was very happy to see you, and I also bless you." ”

Xuan Fang lowered her head, showing a rare state of a shy little daughter, and said in a muffled voice: "Don't worry, since I have embarked on this road, I will definitely live a wonderful life." When I was younger, I didn't like my sister, I liked to dress up, and I used to make fun of her. At that time, I liked to practice horseback riding and archery with my father and brother, and learn martial arts. If I were a boy, I would be able to go to war when I grew up. But now I'm glad that I'm a girl, I can get married and have children, and I'll be by the side of the person I like for the rest of my life, which is good. ”

Lin Wan gently grabbed her hand and said: "Your temperament is very similar to Princess Guiyang, if you go to the East Palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will like you and cherish you." ”

Xuan Fang nodded at Lin Wan very expectantly, and then held her chin with both hands and said, "Sometimes I really feel strange, when my sister was selected to enter the palace for the first emperor, I had a big fight with her." It's my turn, but it's a pity that my sister won't come to quarrel with me, and she doesn't even know who I am now. ”

Lin Wan said: "According to the rules, your sister should die in the deep palace, but now you are benevolent and let your sister out of the palace." No matter what, at least in the future, she can stay with her parents forever, and it is better to spend her days in that deep palace. Don't worry about her, worry about yourself. ”

Xuan Fang nodded seriously at Lin Wan: "What you said, in fact, I understand it in my heart." But alas, I can't go with you on this royal hunt. When you come back from the paddock, you must come to see me, as well as Sister Zhou and Ling'er, I really hope that the four of us can be happy. ”

"Definitely. Lin Wan patted Xuan Fang's hand, then stood up and said, "Seeing that you are in a good mood, I am relieved." Chaoyang is still waiting for me at home, and she can't be too long, otherwise she will cry. ”

Xuan Fang was reluctant to say: "Sister Wan, no matter what happens in the future, the relationship between you and me should never change." ”

Lin Wan understood the meaning of Xuan Fang's words, and thought, although she looked at a careless person, she was actually very careful. Reflecting on her words again, I suddenly felt a little sad, so I just nodded at her and walked out quickly. bumped into the girl who came in with tea head-on, and the girl saw this and said: "Princess Niangniang, this tea ......"

Xuan Fang called: "Niangniang still has something to do, go back first, and come back to drink tea next time when you are free." ”

Then she sat by the window, only looking at the autumn scenery outside the window in a daze, in fact, she understood very well in her heart.

Originally, I thought that if Chaoyang was sent to Xue Mansion alone, the little girl would cry. Unexpectedly, Chaoyang was accompanied by Xiaohua and Xiaocai, and he was very happy, and he was not so dependent on his father and mother. Mrs. Zhou and Xue Ying are the happiest, and the mother and daughter have nothing to do at home all day, thinking about going to the Jin Palace, to accompany Chaoyang, but after all, it is the palace, and they can't always go there.

Now it's good, Princess Jin accompanied King Jin to the royal hunt, but it gave them the opportunity to accompany Chaoyang all day long.

My great-grandmother and grandmother were very good to me, and I was accompanied by Xiaohua and Xiaocai, and occasionally I could watch my great-grandfather practice archery on horseback. Xiao Chaoyang is really happy, every day to play dirty, after a few days, Xiaohua Xiaocai has had enough, he likes to sit on the side every day and watch his great-grandfather shoot arrows.

And at this moment, Lin Wan, who was far away in the suburbs of Beijing, began to miss his daughter.

It was already mid-October, and the night breeze was cool, and Lin Wan was sitting on the loess slope outside the tent wearing a red cloak with a felt hat. Zhao Yong came out, saw his wife, walked towards her steadily, sat down next to her, and then put a plush cloak in his hand on her, and carefully tied the collar for her.

"The weather is so cold, how can you dare to come out alone with so little clothing. Zhao Yong reprimanded gently, "How old are you, and you don't know how to take care of your body, how can it be good to be sick?"

Lin Wan smiled and shrank her whole body into her husband's arms, sniffed and said, "It seems that I am already a little sick." ”

"I'll warm your hands. Zhao Yong pulled her hands out, clasped them tightly in his warm and thick palms, and slowly rubbed them, "If you rely on me to spoil you, you dare to do whatever you want, and next time, be careful that I will punish you severely." Zhao Yong had a handsome face, thick eyebrows, and glared at his wife.

Lin Wan ignored him, straightened his stomach and said, "My son is here, do you dare?"

Speaking of this, Zhao Yong was even more angry, and immediately bent his finger unceremoniously and flicked it on her head and said: "You already knew that you were pregnant with Xiao Er, why did you hide it from me and come with you? Don't you know what kind of place this is? If one is not careful, let alone our son, your life will not be guaranteed." ”

Lin Wan knew that he was really angry, and he also knew that it was wrong for him to hide from him, so he immediately smiled and said, "If you told you earlier, you won't let me come." But don't blame me, not you. She relied on her husband to spoil her, so she said, "If it weren't for you, how could I be pregnant again?"

Zhao Yong laughed angrily, she was right, he looked at the smug smile on her face, hugged her face and gnawed it hard, which can be regarded as punishment.

Just when the young couple was in love, Zhou Huaru had an accident. 166 Reading Network
