[Red Mansion] Biography of Empress Lin

The night sky is as cool as water, and the candlelight in the back room is light and radiant.

The Lins of Liehou's House haven't gathered so neatly for a long time.

Except for the elder sister of the Lin family concubine who married into the East Palace, the old lady of the Lin family who was born in the Longyou family in the family has gone through four dynasties, down to the newly widowed for two years, and the young concubine of the Lin family who is not as tall as the table will take care of the old lady Lin Jia. The courtyard on the west side is packed to the brim.But the masters and masters of the Lin family were all crowded here, and the main hall of the west room was still quiet, only the sound of light stirring of the veil and heavy breathing could be heard.

Among them, the most tense ones are Lin Ruhai, the only son of the late Lord Lin Hou, and Yuan Shi, the wife of Lord Lin Hou.

Obstructing the old lady here, Mrs. Lin, who was born in a general's family, hesitated to speak several times. She could only keep sipping tea to cover up her uneasiness, and prayed that the elder sister of the Lin family, who was not born in her stomach, would make her mark in the East Palace. For one thing, the new emperor may favor the Lin family for the sake of the eldest sister of the Lin family accompanying him through thick and thin in Tongzhou.

Maybe the last generation of the Lin family until her husband can inherit the title of another generation.

The old lady of the Lin family at the top was silent, and everyone dared not speak out.

Mrs. Lin is in a hurry, so why isn't the old lady of the Lin family not in a hurry after dialing the beads again and again?

This morning, people from my hometown in Gusu rushed to send a secret letter because of the new emperor's ascension to the throne, cryptically asking how good is their eldest sister?Do you need the elderly in the family to come over and help the eldest sister?

Although the Lin family is a family of scholar-officials, even the direct branch does not have much honor from the ancestors, let alone the offshoots of the old family. In addition, the Lin family is not blessed with many children, prosperous and prosperous. Therefore, Lin's internal support is more.Although there are relatives next to Wufu at the other end of the hometown, Lord Lin Hou also had a lot of contacts when he was alive, and he was respectful and cautious.Not to mention that there are still a few seedlings who can read from Wufu's relatives who have already passed the examination of scholar.There are only two sons in the Lin family. After they became officials, they lost the help of their father and uncle, so they naturally had to support each other with their cousins, advancing and retreating together.

"Mother, my daughter-in-law dares to ask you, you look at the elder sister... what kind of good fortune is she? It has been three days since the new emperor ascended the throne, why hasn't the order of the harem been issued yet?" Madam Lin finally couldn't bear it anymore. The courageous one spoke first.

All the concubines of the old Hou Ye who had sons and daughters below were all in high spirits, some of them were staring at the old lady of the Lin family, while the other part was secretly looking at Aunt Zhou who was sitting under Mrs. Lin's hands, who was the biological mother of their eldest sister.

"I'm not Your Majesty, so how can I know how much good fortune my eldest sister has?" The old lady of the Lin family opened her eyes and looked at the dignified and quiet Aunt Zhou who lowered her head and said softly, "Eldest sister After all, it was the first emperor who ordered to enter the East Palace. This is the qualification for a hidden residence, and he has a friendship with His Majesty in Tongzhou, not to mention that the eldest sister has a son and a daughter under her knees. Your Majesty is a person who cherishes love. As soon as you ascend the throne, you will be rewarded generously. Mr. Li Ge, Concubine Chen, whom he interceded with before the late Emperor, must be no bad to our eldest sister."

Speaking of this, the old lady of the Lin family hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "In my humble opinion, my eldest sister is at least a fourth concubine, and even a noble concubine is not impossible."

Concubine?

Everyone present was overjoyed when they heard this, only Aunt Zhou covered her mouth with a handkerchief, trying not to let herself cry.

In this dynasty, there are no imperial concubines unless there are special circumstances, and the four concubines under the empress are the most respected.

When he was still the crown prince, he was engaged to the eldest daughter of the Xiao family's direct branch. Unfortunately, the Ministry of Internal Affairs had not started the marriage ceremony, so he was abolished to Tongzhou today.

How could the Xiao family be willing to marry their eldest daughter to Jinshang after seeing this?Even Li Guifei, the first emperor's concubine, was in a hurry to get her niece, who was Liangdi in the East Palace, to separate her relationship with Jinshang.

Unexpectedly, the feng shui will take turns, and the empress Xichao will have true love.

After all, the first emperor was thinking about the husband-wife friendship of his mother, Empress Renxiao. After being persuaded by Mr. Li Ge and Mrs. Chen (who had a good relationship with Empress Renxiao and received her kindness), he burst into tears and couldn't sleep. At the age of 40, I fell in love with the scene, and finally picked up Jinshang, who was relegated to Tongzhou, and looked haggard. There was only a son of a concubine (the eldest sister of the Lin family) who shared the hardships, and the late emperor hugged Jinshang and cried After a while, Jinshang was about to be crowned King Gongjun, and within a few years, Jinshang was restored to the position of prince.

Now both the Xiao family and the Li family have become a joke in the entire capital.

Especially Li Guifei.

After the first emperor reestablished him as the crown prince, he dismissed Concubine Li from the power to handle the six palaces on the grounds that "the concubine was disrespectful to him".

As for Concubine Li Gui, the niece who married into the East Palace and gave birth to the eldest son.

If it wasn't for the late Emperor and Chen Concubine, they would not be willing to take him back to the East Palace today, so that they would ignore him after the restoration.

The once glorious Li Liangdi was completely widowed, even her eldest son was not liked by the world today, and even worse than the second son born by a court lady.

Even if the Li family was like this, the Xiao family who divorced was not much better, even more like a joke than the Li family.

If the Xiao family sticks to their marriage contract when they are in trouble today, then the eldest daughter of the Xiao family will be the next empress of benevolence and filial piety. Later, I was terrified.

But what does this have to do with the Lin family?

When she was demoted to Tongzhou today, among the concubines of the Eastern Palace, only the elder sister of the Lin family was willing to accompany her.Although Lin Liangdi gained a good reputation for being virtuous and loyal, the Lin family still suffered from the Xiao and Li families who thought they were being compared to negative teaching materials. Even Lin Houye and Gusu's hometown were dissatisfied.

But no matter how dissatisfied he is now, the hard times are over, and he is now enthroned.

If those who complained hadn't closed their eyes early like Master Lin, they would have wished to slap themselves who were gossiping at the beginning, and it would be too late to come forward to please them!How can I mention the matter of being implicated by the eldest sister of the Lin family.

"It's a pity that the eldest sister is a concubine." Aunt He, who gave birth to Lord Lin Houye's youngest son, was a no-brainer, and she asked Aunt Zhou to tighten the veil when she opened her mouth. The old lady of the Lin family and Mrs. Lin changed their faces: "If To be born in my wife's stomach, I'm afraid it will be more than..."

"Shut up. The old lady didn't even open her mouth. When will there be any reason for a servant to speak in front of the master?" Mrs. Lin shouted angrily, "Kneel down for me."

Aunt He turned pale, and glanced at the old lady of the Lin family and Mrs. Lin who were not hesitant, she knelt down reluctantly, and said with a pursed mouth: "Your servant is right, I only said that for the good of my eldest sister. of."

Aunt He is the youngest and most beautiful concubine of Lord Lin Hou, and she gave birth to the youngest son of the Lin family. Therefore, although Lord Lin was alive, he still pampered Aunt He mother and son, which is also true. This caused dissatisfaction between Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Lin.

Not to mention that Aunt He said this in front of Aunt Zhou.

When the eldest sister and Jinshang were in trouble, the Lin family actually didn't help much, that is, Aunt Zhou knelt at the gate of the main courtyard and begged Lin Houye to send her body to Tongzhou to give to her hard-working daughter.

Although Lin Houye had complaints about his eldest daughter, she was his first child after all, and he agreed with Aunt Zhou, who had been with her for many years, because of her loving mother's heart. Somewhat unhappy.

Mrs. Lin knew very well that she was not bad to the elder sister who was a concubine, but she didn't have much kindness.But now that Marquis Lin has passed away, there is no one in the court of the Lin family, and the eldest among the officials is her son Lin Hai.

Although Lin Ruhai, who became famous at a young age, has a mentor and an old friend of Lord Lin Hou to help him, he still has to endure a few years and suffer some dangers.

But it's different when there is a big sister.

I can't write a word Lin in one stroke.

Aunt Zhou has only one child, the eldest sister, and the eldest sister has no half-brother, so naturally she has to support her half-brother or distant cousin to speak for her and the little prince of the East Palace, and the one who will bear the brunt of the benefits must be Lin Ruhai from her.

If Lin Ruhai had a sister who was deeply loved by the world and was willing to support him, then there would be less struggle for four or five years, and some people in the official circle would make things less difficult for the elder sister's sake.

Because of this, both the old lady of the Lin family and Mrs. Lin tried their best to make up the relationship with the eldest sister, and became more kind and caring to Aunt Zhou.

It's a pity that Aunt He didn't understand this truth, so she was gagged and dragged down on the spot. Even the ignorant youngest son of the Lin family, Lin Chu, wanted to plead for his biological mother, but was stopped by the old lady of the Lin family.

"Aunt He is talking nonsense. It must be that Hou Ye was too sad and delirious after his death. For her sake, let her move to the small Buddhist hall in the back mountain to pray for Hou Ye. The old lady of the Lin family didn't like Aunt He at all, and she intended to show Aunt Zhou to see, so she made Lin Houye's other concubines turn pale when she opened her mouth: "As for Chu'er, it's a pity that he can't follow such a different person." Qingming's birth mother, I will let you work harder, daughter-in-law."

"Yes, mother, please don't worry, my daughter-in-law will definitely take good care of Chu'er." Mrs. Lin agreed with joy.Anyway, Lin Chu was still young, and Aunt He was imprisoned again. After she cleaned up Aunt He's people, she might not be able to brainwash a kid.If someone is good at reading, he can help Lin Ruhai one or two in the future.

The old lady of the Lin family nodded in satisfaction, looked at Aunt Zhou with a pleasant face, and said sharply: "Old lady, I have been eating vegetarian food and praying to Buddha for many years. Although I don't care about things on weekdays, the situation is different now. I might as well be a villain and explain it clearly to you."

Everyone present took a breath, got up and respectfully said to the old lady of the Lin family: "I would like to listen to the old lady's teaching."

"No matter how much good fortune the eldest sister has, now that the new emperor is on the throne, she is the empress, the master, and the mother of the prince. It will definitely not become the reason for your talk." The old lady of the Lin family glanced at several concubines of Lord Lin. : "When the new emperor ascends the throne, everything must be cautious. If there are people talking nonsense like Aunt He, how many people can be filled in the small Buddhist hall in the back mountain. Do you hear clearly?"

"Yes." Except for Aunt Zhou, the concubines of Marquis Lin's concubines all shrank their necks, seeing that Mrs. Lin was very cheerful.

After the beating, the old lady of the Lin family softened her face again, and returned to her usual kind-hearted old lady: "Okay, don't stay with me here, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait for news today, they are all gone, come back tomorrow! "

As soon as the old lady of the Lin family finished speaking, a servant hurried into the room to salute, and said with a face full of surprise: "Old lady, madam, the news has arrived. Tonight, His Majesty has sent someone to engrave the cabinet, Baowen Send it to the East Palace."

"what?!"

finally coming?

As soon as these words came out, the hearts of all the Lin family who were planning to go back were beating. Even the old lady of the Lin family was holding on to the handrail, and said calmly, "Eldest sister, what kind of luck is she?"

Mrs. Lin kept praying that the eldest sister would become the fourth concubine in one fell swoop, preferably the concubine who was the head of the four concubines, so that she could honor her ancestors and help Lin Ruhai's official career.

But what they never expected was that they all underestimated the position of the eldest sister in Imakami's heart.

"The people who came to the news said that there are senior scholars and monks who are fully registered as deputy envoys to the East Palace. Your Majesty has appointed our eldest lady as the queen."

The servant's words were like a thunderbolt, causing everyone to be dizzy.
