My surname is Wang, my neighbor Wu Dalang

Chapter 449

The spring breeze in Beijing in May is warm and warm.

The flowers in Pan Jinlian's private courtyard are in full bloom, and the fragrance of flowers is overflowing.

These flowers were planted by Pan Jinlian herself with Pang Chunmei, Li Ping'er and Yan Xijiao.

Wang Lin stood quietly outside the flower hall, listening to the conversation between Pan Jinlian, Pang Chunmei, Li Ping'er and Yan Xijiao in the hall.

"My lady, this servant feels that the emperor is really unfair to my lady..."

Pan Jinlian was taken aback at the time, and immediately reprimanded: "Shut up, Chunmei, how dare you criticize the emperor?"

"The servant deserves to die, but the servant is just complaining for the lady."

Pang Chunmei knelt on the ground and said in a mournful voice: "The lady and the emperor started in the early days. Back then in Qinghe County, the lady and the emperor supported each other and shared weal and woe. How is it different from being a wife?"

Pan Jinlian was slightly emotional: "Chunmei, get up, what are you talking about?

This was all a long time ago... Remember, we are no more than before, the emperor is the son of heaven, and the slave is from a humble background. I really dare not and should not expect that position, do you understand? "

Pang Chunmei said: "Lady, the empress is really incomparable. But the position of imperial concubine, shouldn't one be reserved for the lady?"

Yan Xijiao also knelt down and said lightly: "Emperor Maode is the Empress of the Song Dynasty, her status is noble, we can't compare, but Mrs. Murong is only from a merchant..."

Li Ping'er was silent beside him.

Although her thoughts are similar to those of Pang Yan's second daughter, she is taciturn and rarely talkative.

"Sister Wan'er's help to the emperor can be said to be a great contribution, how can a slave be able to match it? She is one of the imperial concubines, and the emperor is also doing it for the reward. Otherwise, the Murong family has spent hundreds of years accumulating, how can they be reconciled?" ?”

Pan Jinlian sighed and helped Pang Chunmei and Yan Xijiao up, knowing that the two women were complaining for her, but she was determined not to say such things a second time.

Once the people in the palace know about it, it will be a great disaster if it is passed on to other concubines, or directly let Wang Lin know.

Standing outside the window, Wang Lin's heart trembled slightly.

He didn't get angry because of this, but he also got a certain kind of vigilance. After all, there are high and low status, and it is absolutely impossible for him to be completely harmonious in his harem.

Besides, among women, if there is no little friction and rift at all, and there is no desire to compete for favor with each other, wouldn't they be fairies?

Throughout the dynasties, the filthy and dirty things in the emperor's harem were not without reason.

Wang Lin knew very well that the beauties and confidantes around him were already very generous and understanding.

Pan Jinlian may not have any resentment towards him, but it is human nature to feel a little bit disappointed in her heart.

There is another very important reason.

She gave birth to a daughter, Wang Yu, instead of a son.

In the past, she was willing to have a daughter, and she also hoped that she could have a daughter, because she didn't want to compete with Han Yan's heir for the position of son.

But now it is different, Wang Lin is the emperor, the son of heaven, among thousands of beauties in the harem, if she does not have the prince to rely on, she will really feel insecure for the rest of her life.

In addition, Wang Lin has never touched Pang Chunmei and Li Ping'er, and Yan Xijiao has never received favors in recent years.

In the harem, this has been regarded as a sign that Pan Jinlian is about to fall out of favor.

And Yan Xijiao didn't have a name on the concubine canonization edict this time.

Wang Lin seemed to have completely forgotten her.

As Pan Jinlian's personal maids, and serving Wang Lin and Pan Jinlian with all their heart and soul for so many years, the three daughters Pang Chunmei and Li Ping'er felt "wasted" so far, and it is impossible to say that there is no trace of resentment in their hearts.

It would be fine if Wang Lin never recruited new people.

But then, Zhu Lian, Guoyuan, Song's Shuangshu, Xiao Duolilai and Yelu Yuliyan, and the newly married Kong Lin, etc., and even Yicui and Siqin who were beside the queen all got their titles...

Having figured out this layer of joints, Wang Lin rubbed the center of his brows.

There are many resentful women in the deep palace.

This is the main reason why he firmly disagrees with the massive enrichment of the harem.The women around him are all beautiful, and he can't cope with these things, and if he chooses women to enter the palace, there will be more troubles...

He didn't mean to snub Pang Chunmei's three daughters on purpose.

It's just that he still has to admit that he seems to prefer mature ones... such as Zhu Lian, Guo Yuan, Xiao Duo, Li Lai, etc.

Wang Lin sighed softly and walked slowly through the door.

Pan Jinlian saw Wang Lin's face turned pale with shock. She knew that Pang Chunmei and Yan Xijiao's words of resentment had been heard by Wang Lin. She knelt down on the ground and mourned, "Your Majesty, my concubine and others are guilty!"

Pang Chunmei's beautiful face turned pale, and she knelt down with a plop, kowtowing.

Yan Xijiao was also terrified, kneeling beside Pang Chunmei with trembling shoulders, dripping with cold sweat.

Li Ping'er had no choice but to kneel down and beg for mercy.

Wang Lin is not the Wang Lin of the past, but now he is Emperor Dayan.

As a slave and maidservant, criticizing the emperor and the harem's personnel arrangements, once the incident happened, it must be a death penalty.

Wang Lin's deep eyes fell on Pang Chunmei and Yan Xijiao, and he said calmly: "I heard what you said."

Pan Jinlian kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, forgive me. Chunmei and Xijiao spoke unintentionally. They are definitely not harboring resentment. Please forgive me and let them die!"

Wang Lin bent down to help Pan Jinlian up, hugged her into his arms, and said indifferently: "Although I dote on you, it doesn't mean that I can tolerate your wanton criticism of my behavior in the back room, come!"

Seeing Wang Lin getting angry, Pan Jinlian was so frightened that her face paled and her whole body trembled.

She raised her head and said in tears: "Your Majesty, since these two girls have followed us since they came from Qinghe County, can you spare them this time?"

At this time, the two female officers and the deacon had already heard the sound, and they couldn't help but take away Pang Chunmei, Yan Xijiao, and Li Ping'er, who were so pale and trembling that they couldn't speak.

……

"Jin Lian, I am really ashamed of you. In order to silence the people of the world, I did not fulfill my original promise to marry you as my wife. I have always been uneasy in my heart. Now, I have given the position of imperial concubine to Wan'er... ..."

Pan Jinlian was calmed down slowly at first, but after hearing Wang Lin's words, she immediately knelt down and said in fear and fear: "Your Majesty, I really dare not have any resentment, I know that I came from a humble background... ..."

Wang Lin smiled wryly. He had no choice but to get up again to help Pan Jinlian, and comforted him: "Jinlian, I know you. You and I have known each other through adversity. How can I not know you? I'm just speaking from the bottom of my heart. To you, I am sure. I am ashamed."

"But in my heart, your position has never changed."

Wang Lin hugged Pan Jinlian tightly and said, "So, yesterday, I sent people to Shandong to proclaim the decree, posthumously proclaiming your biological father Pan Sanjiu as King of Qinghe County, and biological mother Zhou as first-rank Madam, at your house in Qinghe County To build a memorial archway of meritorious deeds at the ancestral grave, I will return the decree that you Pan family can choose two people to enter the court as officials..."

Pan Jinlian was dumbfounded: "Your Majesty, this..."

Immediately Pan Jinlian realized that she was so moved that tears streamed down her face.

This is of course compensation.

For Yu Wang Lin, this is a matter of benefit and cost, but for Pan Jinlian, it is about dignity.

Because of this, people in the world will say that although she is not a queen, she has the honor, lust and family that are no less than that of a queen.

Although there are not many people in her family, some are only distant relatives.

You must know that even for the Queen's mother family, Wang Lin did not grant canonization and grace.

……

Empress Han Yan was shocked when she heard that Pang Chunmei and Yan Xijiao were taken away by the palace deacon because of their resentful words, which offended Wang Lin.

Although these are two maids, they are the elders of the family.

She was one of the first women to follow Wang Lin.

The daughters of Han Yan never treated them as slaves.

Han Yan thought for a while, then called Li Qingzhao and Zhu Shuzhen, and the three women came to Pan Jinlian's palace together, planning to intercede for Pang Chunmei and Yan Xijiao.

After entering the room, seeing Pan Jinlian's face with lingering charm, as soon as she got up from Wang Lin's arms, she knew that the two of them had just finished their business, and Han Yan and the three daughters turned red.

It's broad daylight... Your Majesty is really... No wonder the outside world says he's lustful and greedy...

Han Yan led Li Qingzhao and Zhu Shuzhen to salute and said: "My concubine pays homage to the emperor."

Wang Lin half leaned on the soft couch, waved his hands and said, "Then why are you being so polite, Yan'er, Qingzhao, Shuzhen, you all sit down, just now I remembered Qingzhao's song "Like a Dream"..."

Li Qingzhao was surprised: "Your Majesty, which one?"

Li Qingzhao wrote many poems like a dream.

Wang Lin smiled and said: "Last night, the rain was dredging and the wind was blowing, and the heavy sleep did not dispel the residual wine. I tried the man with the curtain, but the begonia was still the same. Do you know, do you know? It should be green, fat, red and thin."

This is Li Qingzhao's famous work.It is said that as soon as this work was produced, the literati in Bianjing all "struck at festivals and admired it".

Li Qingzhao was slightly taken aback, and exchanged glances with Zhu Shuzhen.

They didn't know what Wang Lin meant when he suddenly mentioned this poem at this moment.

Han Yan also pondered slightly, guessing Wang Lin's thoughts.

But I heard Wang Lin say again: "Golden lotus has planted many flowers in the courtyard, and there are many crabapples. Let me tell you, although these crabapple flowers bloom beautifully, they will wither after a spring rain.

Jin Lian answered me, it doesn't matter, she asked people to hold umbrellas when it rained a few days ago, for fear of watering the flower stamens of crabapple.

But I said, it's useless, and it's almost the season, and the crabapple flowers will wither soon... So I remembered this poem by Qingzhao. "

Pan Jinlian and Han Yan were confused.

Li Qingzhao turned her beautiful eyes, paused for a moment, and said with a light smile, "Your Majesty, I understand. Your Majesty is self-policing and self-examination. The so-called flowers can be broken when they bloom. Don't wait for no flowers to be broken."

Wang Lin sighed and nodded slowly.

Li Qingzhao smiled at Han Yan and said, "Come on, empress empress, there is no need to beg for mercy for those two girls anymore. The emperor never intends to severely punish them."

Han Yan also reacted at this time, with a slightly happy face.

Pan Jinlian was in a mess: "..."

Seeing Wang Lin getting up and leaving, Pan Jinlian was about to say something, but Han Yan stopped her hand and said softly: "Sister Jinlian, don't worry, the emperor is going to explain to those two girls... ...to keep them from thinking about it."

Pan Jinlian was stunned: "Slave... I don't understand."

Li Qingzhao and Zhu Shuzhen chuckled: "Sister Jinlian, it's all right, don't worry, those two girls, this time it's a blessing in disguise."
