The biography of Concubine Lin in the harem

Fragmented laugh this life (1)

Hearing this, Yizheng was slightly startled, but he refused to show the slightest bit on his face. After thinking about it for a moment, a faint smile slowly appeared: "Your Majesty really thinks it's a big gamble."

Zhu Chengbi stared closely at Yizhen's eyes, only to see a little luster flashing in those dark pupils, he couldn't help being moved in his heart, and said with a slight smile: "My lord is scared."

"Of course I'm not afraid. It's just..." Yizheng looked at Concubine Lin playfully, as if joking, "Your Majesty must promise me some favors."

"The prince is already a family member of the royal family, and this palace can only add icing on the cake." Zhu Chengbi looked around, and the rivers and mountains were empty and far away. Throughout the ages, how many emperors have fought and been crazy about it, just because the supreme power symbolizes the honor of leading the guests of the six lands. Glory and Xu gave himself endless demands, Zhu Chengbi said quietly, "If we can win this game, I will promise the prince a hundred cities as Tang Muyi."

Yizhen laughed when he heard the words: "What does the king want, the empress doesn't know?" After speaking, regardless of Zhu Chengbi's slight loss of color, he approached with an ambiguous posture, and said in a low voice, "If the overall situation is settled, the king will not ask for anything. No, but only you."

Zhu Chengbi was embarrassed for a moment, stepped back a few steps, looked around in a panic, and saw that all the palace people had already been attracted by Xuan Ling, and they were waving flags for his seemingly serious archery, he was secretly relieved, and turned to look at Yizhen said: "If this is the case, the lord is not allowed to talk nonsense."

Yizhen laughed aloud: "Naturally, on the day when you and I succeed, I will go to your Yining Palace and talk about it in a grand manner." After finishing speaking, he was slightly impressed, and straightened his jade crown, "You have to know, Brother Huang owes me too much, and one day, I must get it back."

Zhu Chengbi's heart was pounding, but his face was flushed unconsciously.

Yi Zhen pondered for a while, put away the smile just now, and said seriously: "King Qishan naturally need not worry, Concubine Yi has never had the heart to fight for the throne, right now, the only one that the empress needs to be wary of is Concubine Shu Gui."

Seeing that he was passing by, Zhu Chengbi said, "What about the King of Xiangcheng?"

Yizhen smiled slightly: "I only tell you two things, one is that Marquis Boling has become more and more arrogant recently, and the other is that King Xiangcheng's staff and followers are busy making secret contacts with you ministers."

Zhu Chengbi was stunned, and wondered: "The Marquis of Boling has always been proud and proud, but the King of Xiangcheng is also lonely and arrogant, and has never been easy to associate with people. How can he make friends with ministers?"

"Although Mrs. Yu'er is not very smart, she also knows what kind of help is needed to ascend to the position of prince. What's more, with Concubine He's good helper and the power of Marquis Shenyang behind her, King Xiangcheng understands to some extent." Yi He stretched out his hand to hold a poplar leaf, and said calmly, "Unfortunately, Brother Huang understands how he got here in the first place. The four-character personal minister of the King of Xiangcheng has already violated the limit of Brother Huang's patience, and Bo Ling You don’t have to worry about Hou’s powerful and powerful tail, Madam Yu’er’s family is now at the end of their battle.”

Zhu Chengbi sighed deeply: "Although I am in the deep palace, I have heard to some extent that there have been quite a lot of disputes about the establishment of the crown prince in the previous dynasty."

"Right now, the emperor is naturally inclined to His Highness the Sixth Highness, but all the courtiers insist on not letting go. The emperor suffers from headaches day and night, but he does not dare to ignore the wishes of the courtiers. You can't rest assured, the three generations of the Great Zhou Dynasty are still unstable, and the emperor is naturally unwilling to offend all the courtiers."

Yizhen was like a treasure, and said slowly: "But I'm afraid that the night will be long and dreamy. If the emperor insists on appointing the sixth highness, things will be troublesome. Although in history, Liu Bang wanted to abolish Liu Ying and replace Liu Ruyi, but after all, Empress Lu The court is already quite powerful, and there are four great people to help, so the matter of changing the crown prince will not be achieved after all. But looking at it now, the empress is also involved, and the competition between the three factions is indeed more chaotic."

Seeing Concubine Lin frowning slightly, Yizhen comforted her softly: "But don't worry, from now on, I will try my best to make arrangements for Ling'er in the court, and you should pay more attention to yourself in the harem."

Only then did Zhu Chengbi show off his face: "I know, you have to be careful about everything."

Yizhen put away his serious expression, smiled again and said, "Hearing this, I feel a little more at ease. I thought Ling'er had taken all the place in your heart, so you don't want me at all?"

Zhu Chengbi glared at him and said nothing more.

Riding a horse from a distance, the man on the horse is heroic and agile, waving the whip from time to time and rolling up the small colored flags that have been placed on the ground. He rode the steed with all his strength, reached out his hand to take the bow and arrow behind his back, recognized the buckle and set the string, only heard a few swishing sounds, but the arrows were all shot, and all the arrows hit the bull's-eye. He couldn't stop praising: "It's really a good riding skill."

He finished one lap, reined in the horse and walked slowly, not without pride, Zhu Chengbi took a closer look, but it was Xiangcheng Wang Xuanji.

Zhu Chengbi paced forward and saw Xuanji's breath was steady and full of ambition, he was calmly accepting the compliments from the guards around him, and he couldn't help boasting: "The third highness's riding and shooting are getting more and more exquisite."

Xuan Ji saw that it was Concubine Lin and King Liang, but he did not salute respectfully, he just cupped his hands hastily and said, "Mother and Concubine Lin are well, and Uncle Fourteen is well."

Zhu Chengbi smiled slightly and didn't think he was disobedient at all. Seeing the glistening beads of sweat oozing from Xuanji's forehead, he took a handkerchief and went forward to wipe it off. Xuanji didn't want Concubine Lin to be like this, and was quite embarrassed for a while. Zhu Chengbi said again: "Your mother and concubine's Mixiu Palace is the coolest in summer, if you sweat profusely in it, it will inevitably be bad for your health."

Seeing that Xuanji was slightly moved, he saluted politely: "Thank you, Concubine Lin, for letting me know, I just miss the old school days, and I will pay attention to it in the future." After speaking, he took his guards and left.

There was a faint smile on Yizhen's face: "Your Majesty is very kind to the King of Xiangcheng."

"After all, they are all children, so they are the same." Zhu Chengbi glanced at Yizhen, and said softly, "But don't worry, my lord, I have my own discretion."

Seeing Zhu Chengbi's admiration towards Xuanji, Yizhen said slowly, "To be an emperor, one doesn't need to be good at riding and shooting, nor does he need to be good at poetry and writing, he only needs to be good at the art of manipulating people."

Zhu Chengbi was about to speak, but Lian Qiao stepped forward: "Madam, He Wanyi in the cold palace just committed suicide."

On the way back to Hanzhang Palace, Lianqiao Fang said slowly: "Because of He Wanyi's status as the distant niece of the Marquis of Shenyang, the emperor has been extraordinarily lenient to her. She has not abolished her position, but she has been sent to the Leng Palace, the mother of the Leng Palace. Mammy is still taking care of her, so it has been more than three years, but this morning, Mammy sent breakfast in, only to find that she had hanged herself."

Zhu Chengbi said indifferently: "I can't bear it anymore. That's right, she was drafted into the palace four years ago, and she was given the status of a nobleman as soon as she entered the palace. She was able to be Ronghua or even Jieyu, but she didn't wink and followed the queen, and it didn't end well in the end."

The corners of Lian Qiao's eyes and brows were full of hatred: "At the beginning, His Royal Highness the Fifth Highness died early. Originally, it was impossible for the wind and cold to turn into tuberculosis. He Wanyi and Qian Xiaoyi just bit the hand of the empress who ordered the doctor Liang. Fortunately, they did not escape. Otherwise, even the concubine and empress will be blinded."

Zhu Chengbi seemed to be thinking: "I think Concubine He has been far less respectful to the queen in recent years than before."

The thoughts in his heart went deeper and deeper, like deep sea waves rolling, Zhu Chengbi couldn't help saying, "Do you think Hefei will suspect that the Fifth Highness's early death is caused by the queen?"

Lian Qiao was startled: "Your Majesty, do you mean that Concubine He already has doubts about the Empress?"

Zhu Chengbi rested his palms on his hands, and his eyes flicked lazily among the gorgeous summer flowers: "The matter of His Royal Highness was really a mess at the beginning. Because of the Southwest War, I couldn't find out the truth. I was so sad, I was bedridden for several months, and I never got pregnant again, it's really pitiful."

Seeing that Lianqiao was just silent, Zhu Chengbi ordered: "Go to Zhaoyang Palace, He Wanyi is dead, so I should go to comfort the queen no matter what."

Lianqiao was stunned, but when she turned her head, she saw a smile in Concubine Lin's eyes, she understood in her heart, and didn't say anything else, she just told the eunuchs carrying the sedan chair to speed up their pace.

Ling Rui from Fengyi Palace, like Ling Wei, is also the queen's dowry, and is quite prestigious among the palace people. Seeing Concubine Lin's arrival, she hastily sent someone in to communicate, and then carefully lured Concubine Lin in.

Zhu Chengbi slightly straightened the Golden Butterfly Show with Begonias on the sideburns, and did not look at Ling Rui, but just supported Lianqiao's arm, and walked slowly into Zhaoyang Hall.

The round pearls are strung together into a layered curtain, which slightly glows with delicate pearl luster under the sunlight. When Ling Rui opened the curtain, she saw the pearl glow flowing, which is very eye-catching. Behind the curtain are 24 floor-to-ceiling red sandalwood paintings. The screen is inlaid with gold and shells, and when the screen is turned around, there is another alizarin red gauze curtain of Baizibafufu.Although the queen has not been favored for many years, Zhaoyang Hall is extremely luxurious and extravagant, showing the noble demeanor of the mother of a country.

Zhu Chengbi sneered secretly in his heart, I'm afraid, if he was determined to such a luxurious dress, he was really worried that there would be a day when he would lose everything.

At that time, Ling Wei was respectfully offering a cup of almond cheese to the queen, while the queen was half leaning half on the rose-red brocade and gilded concubine's long couch. Seeing Concubine Lin coming, she smiled slightly and said, "My sister is free today." , why did you come to Zhaoyang Hall?"

Ling Wei stood up and bowed to Concubine Lin, then stood beside the queen again.

Zhu Chengbi smiled warmly and said: "This illness has been more than half a month, and I have never come to pay my respects to the empress, and I feel ashamed." After speaking, Zhu Chengbi pulled back her skirt and saluted, "May the empress be blessed!"

The queen's eyes were like steel knives, and she slashed at Concubine Lin's face, and in an instant she regained her usual expression, and said lightly, "Get up, Ling Wei give me your seat."

When Concubine Lin was seated, Ling Rui poured purple bamboo shoot tea and Zhu Chengbi sniffed it lightly: "Purple bamboo shoot tea is really the best in Chaoyang Palace."

The queen was noncommittal, but smiled slightly: "I haven't seen my sister for a few days, but my sister's complexion is getting better and better."

"A concubine is ugly and rough, and I would never dare to compare with the empress." Zhu Chengbi put down the teacup, and said with a smile, "It's just that the emperor thinks that the concubine is weaker, and I have seen the concubine a few times on weekdays. I received many rewards and sent them to Deyang Palace, so my spirit is better." After finishing speaking, Zhu Chengbi said again, "Of course, the empress is also taking good care of me, so today, my concubine also expresses her deep gratitude to the empress. ..." Zhu Chengbi's smile became stronger and stronger, as bright and beautiful as a blooming epiphyllum, "He Wanyi of the Leng Palace committed suicide today, and my concubine was worried about her sadness, so she came to comfort her."
