Chapter 156: Proud of the bones

Mama Du wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and then calmed down for a moment before slowly continuing.

"Speaking of which, the former emperor's friendship with Concubine Xian is really heavy. After Concubine Xian Niangniang went, the first emperor also fell ill, and this body was not as good as day by day, until the emperor was eight years old, he really couldn't hold on, so after explaining all this, he also followed the funeral. ”

Since then, the emperor has not had a single relative in the world. The queen mother was strict and redundant to the emperor, and the ministers of the previous dynasty always pointed fingers at the emperor's decision-making by relying on their own identities. After many years, it was not until Empress Xu entered the palace and married the emperor that it eased up. ”

Lin Wanyi listened quietly without making a sound.

"Queen Xu is very similar to the former virtuous concubine, but she was born in the family of the national prince, and she has the demeanor of a mother, she is both talented and affectionate, and she is also very good at managing the harem.

"Seeing that the emperor is coming to the bitter end, but he never thought that God would not bless people. An ordinary wind chill actually took away the eldest prince, and then Xu Guogong also died of illness, this series of blows made Queen Xu's body collapse at once, and since then, the smell of medicine in Changle Palace has never been broken, until Queen Xu died. ”

Lin Wanyi once heard Lin Guifei mention these things later.

It's just that at this moment, she feels that it is a bit too coincidental.

The foundations of the Xu family in the harem of the former dynasty were pulled out one by one, and it is no wonder that they will collapse.

About Queen Xu also understood the problem, in order to ensure that the family could not be involved in these disputes, there would be a last word that the women in the clan were not allowed to enter the palace draft.

It's really embarrassing.

Mama Du said while looking at Lin Wanyi's face.

But seeing that she was still so calm, I finally had some comfort in my heart.

After all, she is different from Concubine Xian Niangniang and Queen Xu.

When this woman was young, it was not necessarily a good thing that things were going too well.

If you can't hold the blow, it's the first trouble.

This is the case with Concubine Xian Niangniang and Queen Xu.

When they were young, they were pampered by thousands of people, but they also developed the problem that their hearts were not tenacious enough.

The forest in front of him is always there, but it is different.

Obviously she is a sick person, but she shows a quiet vitality.

is not public, not lush, but never self-pitying, secretly withering.

Only...... It's like a plum in winter, proud and not afraid of the cold.

That alone was enough for her to make up her mind to say these things today.

So she restrained her emotions, and Mama Du continued.

"After Empress Xu's death, the slave maid watched the emperor become colder and colder. Obviously in the prime of life, but the heirs in the harem withered, except for the second prince who was born in the early years, the third prince and the eldest princess, there was no concubine who was pregnant, and the living note for ten days and a half did not see the emperor summon a harem concubine. ”

"It wasn't until Concubine Lan and Concubine Ying were pregnant that the deadlock in the palace in the past few years was broken."

"But everything is different after the little master enters the palace."

"After you entered the palace, the emperor never summoned other concubines, at first the slave maid just felt that it was about a temporary interest, but now it seems that the emperor is trapped. To tell the truth, the slave has served by the emperor's side for many years, and he has never been so obsessed with anyone or anything, but the little master seems to have been hiding. ”

As an emperor, the most important thing is to make people guess.

There is no joy and anger, there is no single-mindedness, it wants to be evenly stained with rain and dew, and it is necessary to be the sixth house.

But these were gradually broken after Lin Wanyi entered the palace.

Now Lin Wanyi has not encountered more malice, because the emperor has interfered a lot and covered up a lot.

But paper can't contain the fire, once it is detected, then Lin Wanyi will have to face not only the-for-tat confrontation of the harem, but also the oppression of the previous dynasty.

Such a wave is coming, if her heart is not strong.

Either it is like a virtuous concubine, and she ends up with a loss of mind and a death of incense.

Either like Queen Xu, she was persecuted, exhausted, and died of lingering illness.

No matter which one it is, it's not what Mama Du wants to see.

That's why she's saying these things today.

I just hope that Lin Wanyi can see herself clearly, and also see the front and back harem clearly.

If she also wants to respond to the emperor's wishes, then she must be prepared.

This road to accompany the king is not easy to walk.

It takes people with a particularly firm heart to face these thousands of difficulties and mountains.

Lin Wanyi is not stupid, Mama Du said so much, she heard the deep meaning behind it.

But now, what she worries about is different from Mama Du.

Mama Du's problem is whether she has the ability to advance and retreat with the emperor.

And what she worries about is whether the people around her can move forward without changing their original intentions.

Therefore, she couldn't give Mama Du a firm reply for the time being.

After a while, Lin Wanyi took a deep breath and said to Mama Du.

"What Mama Du said today is all heart-wrenching words, since you don't hide it, then the younger generation should also talk to Mama about what is in your heart."

"I must have known my origins before. It sounds good to say that it is the wife of the prime minister's house, but in fact, it is not as good as the children of the second house. Even this entry into the palace is not what I want, not what my family wants. ”

"After entering the palace, he suffered frequent disasters, either humiliated today or fell into the water tomorrow, and the matter of decoction has never been broken. I understand His Majesty's intentions for me, but in the final analysis, Mama told me, how can I stand by his side? ”

"By pose? With talent? Or is it according to His Majesty's heart for me? ”

Lin Wanyi smiled bitterly, as if mocking herself.

Mama Du looked at her so sober and restrained, and her eyes couldn't help but deepen.

She is strong, but behind this strength there is too much pain and sadness.

"The most ruthless imperial family. Today's Majesty's grace is for me, you must know that tomorrow may be replaced, if I can't keep my heart, but also for those graces to fight, I'm afraid that Mama will also feel clumsy to see the wrong person. ”

"I'm not afraid of trouble, but I'm never going to cause trouble. If His Majesty is the husband of an ordinary family, then the younger generation should join hands with him and go to Hongmeng together. But Your Majesty, but it is the bright blue sky of everyone in this harem, and it is also the person who is subject to the people of this world, if it is only delayed by my love, wouldn't it be a pity? ”

"Therefore, I can't get back this friendship, and I shouldn't get it back."

The emperor should have what the emperor thinks, and the concubine should also have the concubine's thoughts.
