The Founding of the Red Chamber

On the Qianqiu Festival, lie and talk about marriage, Changyinge Zhaode led the training

Empress Dowager Lin accepted courtiers' bowing in the Hall of Prayer for Peace, and then sat in the Palace of Mercy. After the queen led the princes, princesses, concubines, and wives to salute, she changed into a comfortable flying phoenix robe and listened to everyone's compliments and filial piety.

Seeing that Lin Jing looked good, the Empress Dowager Lin called him to ask him about his illness a few days ago and asking for medical treatment. Lin Jing answered them one by one. Even though I know that everything is fine with him in the government, his brothers and sisters-in-law are the most appropriate people. If you don't ask yourself, you can't feel at ease. "

Empress Xie laughed and said, "This is all the empress mother's mercy."

Mrs. Xie Guogong laughed, "Master Lin is so imposing, no one outside will appreciate it. The Empress Dowager can take care of people."

Empress Dowager Lin glanced at Mrs. Xie, and smiled, "You are still a good daughter, De Rong speaks and works, everything is wrong, but it is cheaper for me."

Mrs. Xie Guogong's face was full of smiles, "It is the blessing of Xie's family that the empress dowager's praise."

Empress Dowager Lin is promoting Xie's family. Concubine Zhen Gui, who has always been favored, will never stand out, but Concubine Rong is also the respected concubine, and the cousin of Emperor Zhaode's uncle. Serve Empress Dowager Lin Chaguo.

Empress Dowager Lin glanced at Old Madam Rong, who was above all orders, and asked with a smile, "Is the old lady still in good health?"

The old lady Rong was only in her early sixties, with gray hair, in good spirits, and sitting with her back straight. When she heard the Queen Mother Lin's question, the old lady Rong got up and replied, "Thanks to the blessing of the Queen Mother, she is still in good health."

Empress Dowager Lin smiled and said, "I'm not an outsider, the old lady doesn't need to be polite." She said to Concubine Rong, "Although the rules in the palace are strict, they are nothing more than human feelings. The old lady is your grandmother, so you don't have to serve me. Ma'am."

The old lady Rong hurriedly said, "How dare you bother the imperial concubine, it's really exhausting."

Madam Rong also said, "The concubine is here, a daughter-in-law should serve her mother-in-law, how dare she work for a noble concubine or empress."

Empress Dowager Lin's smile remained unchanged, "You mother-in-law and daughter-in-law can just use it with peace of mind. One of you is Concubine Rong's direct grandmother, and the other is Concubine Rong's mother. So what if you let Concubine Rong serve you once? What's more, I agreed." Looking at Mrs. Xie Guogong, Empress Dowager Lin smiled, "The whole family sits together, as long as the folds are not bad. For example, Mrs. Xie Guogong loves the queen as much as I do, and she has no such fate."

Empress Dowager Lin said this, Mrs. Rong, Mrs. Rong, couldn't resign, so she had to.

No matter how nice the noble concubine sounds, it is still just a concubine. The Empress Dowager Lin pointed out the Rong family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, not mentioning that the Rong family is the emperor's mother clan, but the matter was brought up by Concubine Rong's mother-in-law.Mrs. Xie Guogong pursed her lips and smiled. Her daughter is naturally different. This is the serious daughter-in-law of Empress Dowager Lin. Naturally, Empress Dowager Lin would not ask her own daughter-in-law, the queen of a country, to serve a lady of a country.Even if Empress Xie and Mrs. Xie Guogong are relatives of mother and daughter, after all, the status of the mother of a country is noble, and no one can doubt it.

Mrs. Xie Guogong smiled, "The Empress Dowager is merciful." She continued to flatter the Empress Dowager Lin.

The Yue family who is slightly below him is extremely respectful and respectful.

After a while, the wine show was ready and the time was just right. Emperor Zhaode came to the Palace of Mercy and respectfully invited Empress Dowager Lin to move to Changyin Garden to listen to the show.

This is the case every year. Empress Dowager Lin, with her son and daughter-in-law, went to Changyin Garden with mighty concubines and edicts.Changyin Wuzao had made arrangements, naturally Empress Dowager Lin and Emperor Zhaode took the seat, Empress Xie was a little behind, and the rest had their seats according to their relatives.

Empress Dowager Lin also warned, "Concubine Rong, please take good care of the old lady and your mother."

When Emperor Zhaode saw his grandmother, he naturally greeted her one or two, and said, "I think Jing'er looks better than before."

Empress Dowager Lin laughed, "Not only that, how can I rest assured."

Concubine Zhen suddenly said, "Is this a girl from the Rong family? She is really pretty."

Empress Dowager Lin glanced at the little girl in red shirt next to Mrs. Rong, and smiled, "This is Mrs. Rong's little granddaughter, whose nickname is Yue'er."

Rong Yue was only seven or eight years old, so she naturally had a pretty face carved out of jade. Hearing the Empress Dowager Lin tell her name, she hurriedly stepped forward to salute her, with a clear and pleasant voice, "My daughter, Rong, has met the Empress Dowager. The empress dowager will live in peace forever." At such a young age, the palace rituals are not chaotic, which is very rare.

Empress Dowager Lin smiled and waved, "Come here and show me." After looking at it, Empress Dowager Lin praised, "It's better than Concubine Rong when she was young."

Concubine Rong smiled, "Thank you, Empress Dowager, for your appreciation."

Concubine Zhen smiled, looked left and right, clapped her palms and praised, "Look, Brother Jing and Sister Yue are standing in front of the Empress Dowager, they are not like the golden boy and jade girl in front of the Avalokitesvara."

Because he was easy to talk, Emperor Zhaode listened very pleasantly, and smiled, "Both of them are good boys."

Empress Dowager Lin said, "Concubine Zhen's mouth is getting better at talking."

Concubine Zhen laughed, "Thank you Empress Dowager for the compliment, but the more I look at it, the more I feel that the children are a good match. This appearance, this character, no matter their family background, there is nothing wrong with it."

The old lady Rong said modestly, "Sister Yue is not as good as Pu Liu, so how can she be worthy of Master Lin Si?"

Concubine Zhen said even more, "One is the granddaughter of the old lady, and the other is the nephew of the mother's stepmother, neither one is good enough. If you want to follow my short-sightedness, it is a match made in heaven."

Concubine Zhen and the Rong family sang and chatted lively, the smile of Empress Dowager Lin at the head had faded, and Concubine Rong hurriedly said, "Sister Zhen, don't make fun of my niece." She said coquettishly, "Your Majesty, you also Take care of sister Zhen's mouth."

Emperor Zhaode realized that Empress Dowager Lin was displeased, but it was because of the aunt's family on the one hand and the biological mother's family on the other. Emperor Zhaode was in a dilemma, and his favorite concubine came here to blame him, so he could only vaguely say, "The children are still young."

Concubine Rong immediately showed her grievance, and whispered, "Sister Yue is not good enough for Brother Jing."

Emperor Zhaode comforted Concubine Rong reflexively, and said, "Where is this talking?"

Concubine Zhen laughed, "I already know that Your Majesty agrees. Madam, this is a great matchmaker made by Your Majesty. Madam, don't thank you yet."

Mrs. Rong and Mrs. Rong had just got up, and before they gave a big gift to thank, Empress Dowager Lin asked coldly, "Emperor, how should we deal with the crime of false edict?"

Concubine Zhen's face paled, and Emperor Zhaode hurriedly said, "Queen, it's just a joke."

The old lady Rong was very agile, she knelt on the ground with a thump, bang her head three times, and said, "It's all the old body's fault. It offended the empress dowager. If the empress dowager wants to punish the crime, let me punish the old body."

Empress Dowager Lin stared at old lady Rong coldly, without saying a word, let alone forgive old lady Rong's personal words.All the female members of the Rong family knelt down, Concubine Rong knelt down and begged for mercy, "Empress Dowager, please forgive my grandma for her age."

With the Rong family kneeling like this, Emperor Zhaode's face was not very good-looking, but the Queen Mother Lin did not say a word to forgive Ping, and Emperor Zhaode was speechless.

Concubine Zhen's incomparably delicate face gradually lost its color, pleading guilty, "It was the concubine who spoke lies, and the concubine is guilty."

Mrs. Gaoming who was present had left her seat long ago, and Empress Dowager Lin asked, "Is the historian here?"

Emperor Zhaode made a decisive decision immediately, and said, "Concubine Zhen pretended to be disrespectful to the Empress Dowager, she was deposed as a noble concubine, demoted to a palace servant, and thrown into the cold palace!"

Concubine Zhen trembled all over, she looked at Emperor Zhaode with tears in her eyes, a female official stepped forward, first pulled out the seven-tailed phoenix hairpin from Concubine Zhen's head, and was about to drag him down.

"Slow down." Empress Dowager Lin said calmly, "On my Qianqiu Festival, Mrs. Zhen dared to brazenly pretend to treat the emperor and me as nothing. If you are so confident, you must have something to rely on. Doctor Xuan, see if Mrs. Zhen is pregnant? "

At this time, Zhen Shi was no longer as simple as shaking like a sifter, she screamed, "The Empress Dowager, I know my mistake, the Empress Dowager..." Before she finished speaking, two powerful nuns blocked Zhen's mouth, lest she disturb the queen mother's quietness.

On the Empress Dowager's Qianqiu Festival, it's already time for the play to begin, and the princes and ministers have already started to beat their hearts.Now seeing that the imperial doctor was passed on in it, I have everything I want.It's just a day of great joy, and no one dares to show any joy.

Empress Dowager Lin said coldly, "I don't like this marriage. It's not that I don't like Sister Yue. It's just the same. The emperor treats me with the utmost filial piety. The Lin family is originally a foreign relative. The Rong family is the mother family of Empress Xiaowen, and they are also The emperor's mother family, Concubine Rong occupies the position of noble concubine, and she has a second prince. Emperor, the Rong family is your mother family, and the Xie family is your wife family! The prince born by the empress is your eldest son. Emperor, I I really don't want to see the Lin family marrying the Rong family, what does the emperor mean?"

Empress Dowager Lin forced the Rong family to die when she opened her mouth. Concubine Rong said anxiously, "Empress Dowager, the Rong family dare not have such treasonous intentions!"

The old lady Rong continued to kowtow, "May I die to prove my innocence!"

Empress Dowager Lin ignored Old Madam Rong at all, and continued, "Emperor, the Lin family is honored enough. As long as I am here, the Lin family will never marry any prince's mother! I also hope that the emperor will not favor the Lin family any more." !"

"Emperor, I have watched you grow up and take charge of the government. The emperor is in his prime and has three sons and two daughters. In the future, the emperor will have more princes and grandchildren. The emperor has read history since he was a child. The prosperity was lost in the struggle for the dragon chair." The Empress Dowager Lin said in a deep voice, "I am already at this age, I think I will never see that day. The emperor called me the queen mother for more than [-] years, the fate of our mother and child in this life, Emperor, under the compliment of this magnificent scene, the emperor really wants to see it."

After Empress Dowager Lin spoke, Emperor Zhaode couldn't tell what was in his heart, but his gaze towards the Rong family gradually cooled down.He stood up respectfully, landed on one knee, and said in a deep voice, "I would like to be taught by my mother."
