Chapter VII: Yu Ning

When the room was silent, Chunri suddenly lifted the curtain and came in, and said: "Girl, second son, Your Majesty has come to make a will, saying that the Queen Mother has just had a cold in the past few days, and wants you to accompany you in the palace." ”

"Got it," Lin Chonghan was a little surprised, but he still responded, "You let the carriage be prepared in the front yard, and I'll be fine later." ”

Lin Shijing also heard about the queen mother's cold, and he didn't think it mattered, but he just told Lin Chonghan to be careful when he entered the palace, so he lifted the curtain and went out.

Lin Chonghan entered the palace and chatted with the Queen Mother, she was an old man, and she was still in bad spirits after the wind and cold.

Before she came, she specially asked Spring to urgently find some folk jokes, thinking of teasing the Queen Mother.

The consequence was unexpectedly happy, and when the two were talking, a palace maid suddenly came in and said that the great eunuch Jixiang next to the emperor was coming.

After Jixiang was announced, he first asked the Queen Mother for peace, saying that the emperor couldn't rest assured of her body, so he asked the imperial doctor to ask for peace. Then he looked at Lin Chonghan and said respectfully: "I have seen the county lord of Yongle, Your Majesty said that the county lord has been in the palace for a long time, and he is afraid that the county lord will not recognize the way, so he will let the slave come and take you out." ”

Hearing this, Lin Chonghan looked at the Queen Mother in confusion, even if she was not familiar with the palace, but there were many eunuchs and palace maids in the Queen Mother's palace who could guide the way, so why did the eunuch Jixiang next to the emperor come in person?

The Queen Mother nodded lightly to her and said, "You just follow Jixiang." ”

Since the Queen Mother had already spoken, Lin Chonghan got up obediently and went out with Jixiang.

The two of them had just left the Empress Dowager's palace, and after walking a few steps, they suddenly saw a few eunuchs not far away carrying a chariot, and there was a curtain hanging on the chariot, so Lin Chonghan couldn't see the people inside.

It's just that this pomp is inevitably too big, there are sixteen palace maids in front and back, Lin Chonghan was thinking about which harem lady this is, and suddenly felt that Jixiang's expression became nervous, and then motioned for her to kneel down together.

"Slave auspicious, please say hello to the eldest princess of Yuning, princess Chitose."

The step gradually approached, and a woman's graceful and luxurious voice came from inside, with a little distraction: "It's auspicious, you don't have to kneel...... Bengong looked at the girl beside you a little familiar, I don't know which daughter it is? ”

Lin Chonghan replied: "The father of the courtier's daughter is the Marquis of Yongding. ”

After speaking, there was no sound in the walk, accompanied by a disturbing silence.

"The girl from the Marquis of Yongding?" The eldest princess of Yuning snorted lightly, with a hint of unhappiness in her tone, "Is that the Yongle County Lord who has not done anything for five years, and still took the initiative to ask for peace and leave, making it difficult for her husband's family?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Lin Chonghan knew that something was wrong, but for now, he could only respond hard.

The eldest princess of Yu Ning in the chariot said lightly: "If you don't abide by the women's way, since the emperor doesn't punish you, it's better for the palace to punish you." Lord Yongle, it's better to kneel here first and reflect on yourself. ”

She only said kneeling, but did not say the time, I am afraid that Lin Chonghan's kneeling will take a few hours to kneel.

"Princess, slowly," Ji Xiang spoke unhurriedly at this time, intercepting her words, "The slave shouldn't be too talkative, it's just that His Majesty specially announced that the Lord of Yongle had gone over." Now you let me kneel, I'm afraid the minion will not be able to explain. ”

"What's so hard to explain," Yu Ning is not a stupid person, knowing that this is the emperor's intention to protect her, "Since the emperor declares you, then forget it." ”

She thought about it, and still seemed to feel unwilling, so she chased after her: "After I go back, I will copy the female precepts to the palace ten times, and after the copy is done, I will send it to the eldest princess's mansion." ”

Lin Chonghan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, bowed his head and responded: "Courtier, thank you for the princess's teachings." ”

After the eldest princess of Yuning left, Ji Xiang only felt that his back was soaked with cold sweat, and he understood that if the eldest princess had to leave people to kneel strongly, he couldn't help it.

"Father-in-law," Lin Chonghan was actually a little puzzled in his heart, "I heard that the eldest princess does not respect the three rules of female training, and she is not old-fashioned, why ......?"

Why is it so targeted at her?

Ji Xiang smiled bitterly and said, "County Lord, this issue is not clear to the minions, but I have received His Majesty's order to send you out of the palace with all your beards and tails." ”

Lin Chonghan was thoughtful when he heard this, knowing that he was afraid that he would have to go home, so he asked his father.

Lin Chonghan returned home with a stomach full of questions, and when he had dinner in the evening, he asked about his father.

After Lin Guangqing heard this, he put down his chopsticks silently, and said with some difficulty: "Yu Ning and I actually had a very good relationship at that time, just like you and today. ”

When he said this, Lin Chonghan was even more puzzled, could it be that something happened at that time?

"I see."

Because of his poor health, Lin Shijing, who could only eat medicinal food alone, thought about it, and suddenly spoke boldly: "Could it be that Princess Yuning couldn't love her father at that time, and turned to hate because of love?" ”

"Eat your medicinal food!" Lin Guangqing said angrily, "I don't have any personal relationship between men and women with Yu Ning, she married General Zhongwu at the time, and I married your mother." ”

"Our two families have a very close personal relationship, and we have agreed to marry our children in the future." Talking about the old things, Lin Guangqing's face was full of wind and frost, and he also had a little emotion, "It's just that at that time, there was a rebellion in the south, and I went to the battlefield with General Zhongwu, but in the end, I was the only one who survived." ”

Lin Guangqing didn't elaborate on the story during this period, but Lin Chonghan knew that it was General Zhongwu who saved her father's life.

Lin Guangqing said and put down his chopsticks: "Yu Ning is not an old-fashioned person, and she has publicly belittled the three rules of women's training, and now she is doing this, it must be because she is still dissatisfied with me, which has affected you." ”

After Lin Shijing finished eating the medicinal food, he used a dim sum to suppress the smell of the medicine: "The princess can understand blaming her father, but she shouldn't be angry with Hua'er." If she is like this, I am afraid that there will be rumors in the capital again. ”

After listening to this, Lin Chonghan thought for a while, and while asking Spring to bring down the dim sum and not let the second brother eat more, she said, "I will visit the princess's mansion tomorrow, and I can't copy this book." ”

In the early morning of the next day, the porter of the Eldest Princess's Mansion in Yuning received a letter from Lin Chonghan, the porter was an old man in the Eldest Princess's Mansion, and he knew the grievances between the eldest princess and the Lin family.

Lin Chonghan waited patiently in the soft sedan for half an hour, and then the porter came back in a hurry, wiping his sweat and laughing: "Let the county lord wait for a long time, the princess has already gotten up." ”

"Thank you."

She followed her guide around the shadow wall, through the winding corridors, all the way to the front yard. After entering, Lin Chonghan found that the eldest princess of Yuning was not here, and knew in his heart that she was afraid that she would have to give herself a dismount.

Lin Chonghan knew that this matter was in a hurry, so she sat down slowly, asked her subordinates to pour herself a cup of hot tea, and asked them how many plates of snacks they wanted to cushion their stomachs.

Her grandiose and natural attitude of the owner made the subordinates a little at a loss, Lin Chonghan didn't care about the eyes of others for a long time, she finished eating a whole plate of dim sum, and finally waited for the eldest princess who was long overdue.

"The county lord is really welcome," Yu Ning walked in slowly, looking at her condescendingly, "Yesterday, the palace just punished you for copying the book, and today you came, what's the matter, the book has been copied?" ”

"No, the courtiers didn't copy it."
