The night was deep, and the crescent moon in the sky was hidden into the clouds at some point, and the night was vast, and the stars were lightless, dark, and boundless.

A few days later, after Yu Lin went down to the next court, he asked the queen mother to say goodbye, and on the way back to the Chengming Palace, Li Zhong reminded: "Your Majesty, the seventh day of the next month is the birthday of Ying Concubine Niangniang, Niangniang is now pregnant, do you want to do a good job, so that Ying Concubine Niangniang is happy?" ”

Yu Lin thought for a while and said: "Yes, she used to celebrate her birthday and never wanted me to do it, but now that she is pregnant with an heir, she should naturally do it." You have a lot of ideas, think about it for me, is there any good idea to make Concubine Ying happy. ”

"According to the minion, Concubine Ying has little interest in position and reward." Li Zhong said while carefully observing Yu Lin's face: "Niangniang has been in the palace for three years, and I miss my family the most, besides, there are rules in the palace, after the concubine is pregnant, the mother's family is allowed to visit the palace." It's just that Niangniang's family ......" Li Zhong didn't dare to continue.

Yu Lin groaned: "What you said makes sense, I will think about it again." Li Zhong didn't dare to say more, so he followed all the way back to Chengming Palace.

Two or three days later, in the morning, Lu Yuan had just gotten up and was freshening up, and Concubine Xian walked in quickly, panting, her face was happy, and she didn't wait for Lu Yuan to speak, so she said: "The emperor issued an order yesterday, ordering Lord Zhang, the first assistant of the cabinet, to re-examine the case of your father who was implicated back then. ”

Lu Yuan stood up suddenly, almost speechless with excitement, Concubine Xian stepped forward and grabbed her hands and shook them vigorously, and both of them cried with joy and shed tears.

Lu Yuan's seventeen-year-old birthday was very lively under the instruction of the emperor, and the threshold of Jingxi Palace was almost broken, from the Queen Mother to the last promise, all of them came to congratulate and send generous gifts. Concubine Rong, Concubine Liang and others are certainly at odds with her, and this face-saving exchange is also very hard. "The spring breeze is proud, and you can see all the Chang'an flowers in one day." The pride and glory in it are probably the same.

The day before his birthday, Yu Lin specially personally received a congratulatory gift, a plate of five-color concentric knots, a mandarin duck Wanjin brocade, a pearl in front of the pillow, a fragrant green civet by a shop, two dragons and fish heads, a lotus leaf plate and jade pen wash, a box of ancient ink of Xianya Ganoderma lucidum, three pieces of Xiangwen Luo, and a round carving of Amber Hanshan. There are eight pieces of new palace satin of various colors, and there are countless exotic tribute gadgets of all colors.

Yu Lin personally led Lu Yuan to look at them one by one, held her hand and said, "I know that you don't like these mundane things, and you don't care about status, so I have prepared another big gift." I have ordered your parents and brother and sister-in-law to be brought from Shuzhong to Beijing, and settled in your old mansion, so that they can rest for a while, and then they can enter the palace to see you in a few days. ”

Lu Yuan's tears burst out of his eyes, his lips trembled slightly, and he was about to lean over to thank him, but he was pulled by Yu Lin, and Yu Lin smiled: "I haven't finished talking yet, and it's not too late for you to thank you when I'm done." ”

Lu Yuan smiled with tears in her eyes: "Please tell the emperor quickly." ”

Yu Lin helped her wipe away her tears, gently scraped her nose, and said, "Let your family settle down in Beijing for the New Year, and when the Lantern Festival comes, I will allow you to go out of the palace and go home to save your relatives, do you think it's okay?" ”

"Your Majesty..."Lu Yuan called out, and then choked again.

Yu Lin continued: "I have already retried the case involving your father with Zhang Zhaohe, you can rest assured, if he is innocently affected, he will be immediately reinstated, as well as your two brothers." ”

Lu Yuan hurriedly said: "The concubine's father is old, as long as he can return his innocence, let his father sue the old man for a long time." ”

Yu Lin replied: "I am all up to you, and you can do whatever you say." It's just that on this day of great joy, no tears are allowed to be shed. ”

Lu Yuan said with a smile: "The concubine is crying with joy. The concubine first thanked the emperor for her father and brother. He bowed deeply.

Yu Lin helped her up with both hands and said, "You should prepare to meet your relatives in the next few days, but you must not tire yourself." I still have some business, I will go back to the Chengming Hall first, and then come to dine with you in the evening, if there is something you want to eat, I will ask someone to tell the imperial dining room. ”

After Yu left, Biluo stepped forward and brought a cup of stewed pears to Lu Yuan, saying: "The winter weather is dry and dry, Niangniang uses a pear to nourish the yin and moisten the lungs." It can be seen that the emperor is really attentive to the mother, the slave maid has been in the palace for more than ten years, in addition to seeing the current Queen Mother Xiaochun, when she was a concubine, she went out of the palace to save her relatives, and now this second person is Niangniang. Even the queen, Concubine Rong and others do not have such an honor. ”

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "The emperor really has a heart for me. A sweet warmth rose in his heart and turned into tenderness, he is the father of the child in his womb, the husband he relies on, and he has already given birth to the feelings that should be between husband and wife, so he doesn't know what to do, and he goes deep.

Three days later, Lu Zhixin, Shen Qingluo and his wife, their eldest son Lu Chongyang and his wife Shi, and the second son Lu Songbai and his wife Yu were announced to the palace to meet Lu Yuan.

After three years, my father and mother have a few more gray hairs, my brother and sister-in-law are also tired and tired, and they are no longer like the pampered sons and ladies they used to be, and the little nephew Ziyan was only an infant when he left Beijing, and now he is a little naughty boy running all over the ground, and the second brother and second sister-in-law have just finished their marriage when they left, and now the sister-in-law Yu has been holding the little niece of eight months in her arms, Lu Yuan hurriedly took out the meeting gift that had already been prepared. The family hugged each other and cried, and stopped under the repeated persuasion of Biluo, Chunhua and others.

Lu Zhixin said in tears: "After so many years, I finally got out." I don't want to be reunited as a family in my lifetime. Yuan'er, this is all in exchange for your efforts, Daddy is ashamed of you! ”

Lu Yuan wiped away her tears and said busily: "Daddy must not say such things, isn't his daughter very good now?" ”

Lu Zhixin looked at her and said, "Daddy knows that you and the Xue family's Zhenyuan are in love, if it weren't for this disaster, I'm afraid that the two of you would have already married now." ”

Lu Yuan's eyes flashed with tears, and she said: "Daddy, don't mention these things anymore, it's because I have nothing to do with Brother Zhenyuan, and now I am the emperor's concubine, and I am pregnant, and the emperor treats me very well." ”

Shen Qingluo smiled bitterly: "As soon as you enter the palace gate, it is as deep as the sea, which one in the harem is not trembling, walking on thin ice, this is the reason why Wei Niang didn't want to enter the palace and didn't want you to enter the palace draft." ”

At this time, the imperial dining room was ordered to send all kinds of dishes, Biluo and they spread a table full of them, Lu Yuan took everyone into the seat, and the family sat in a circle in a neat circle, already sad and happy, talking and laughing, and talking about wine.

After the meal, Lu Yuan led Shen Qingluo to Ci'an Palace to see the Empress Dowager Xiaochun, and the sisters met in their twilight years, they were excited for a while, crying for a while, laughing for a while, holding their hands tightly, and talking carefully for a long time.

At dusk, Lu Yuan personally supported his father, father, mother, brother and sister-in-law and others in the car, and watched them go away, until they couldn't see the figure of the car before reluctantly returning to the hall.
