[Red Mansion] Biography of Empress Lin

Lin Miyan gave birth before today's Wanshou Festival, so Xionggong naturally had to pick up the rules and bring the child to celebrate Zhonggong's birth.

"Because my body is weak after giving birth, Your Majesty has exempted the fourth prince from the three baptisms. When the fourth prince's hundred-day banquet, I will invite all the sisters to have a good time." On the first day of confinement, Lin Miyan deliberately Putting on a brand-new royal blue embroidered wintersweet satin dress, there are also more jewelry on the head, but they are mainly silver and jade ornaments, and at the same time decorated with some small velvet flowers: "I have a look, all the sisters sent The congratulatory gifts here are so rich that I am looking at them. There are more than two tables for the jewels and satins alone, not to mention the white jade Guanyin, the best ginseng and deer antler. I am afraid that I will not be able to use it for a while. I can't finish it, so today I took the risk of offending my sisters and borrowed flowers to offer Buddha."

As Lin Miyan said that, she asked Li Fu to take out the congratulatory gifts from the palace with several court ladies and eunuchs, and the expressions of the concubines changed slightly.

"The few tribute satins sent by concubine Xiao Gui are mainly green and blue after rain, just to make two new clothes for the princesses, so that the children don't dress too plainly at the crab banquet. " Lin Miyan first asked Li Fu to bring two pieces of material to Concubine Qi Xian and An Jieyu, and after the latter thanked Furong, she asked Fu Rong to bring a pear box: "There is also Li Guifei who sent ivory and jade, which happened to be one A set of jewelry that matches the material."

After all, Lin Miyan said to Xiao Guibin and Li Guibin jokingly: "You two sisters really have a good understanding, and you can even make up a set of gifts."

"Your Majesty, it's absurd. It's a great fate that all the sisters in the palace can sit here, and who doesn't have a good understanding with whom?" Xiao Ningyan was very displeased when Lin Miyan compared her with Li Guibi. She always felt that the other party was Deliberately ridiculed that the Xiao and Li families are all the same.

"Xiao Guibi's words are also the hope of this palace, but we know that the harmony of the six palaces can bring peace to His Majesty." Lin Miyan asked someone to hold a white jade Guanyin to give away the son. The lifelike Buddha's face made Xiao Ningyan want to throw the tea bowl out .

"Although it is inappropriate to send Guanyin at this time, I think that Concubine Xiao Gui needs this item more than I do, so I ask Concubine Xiao to take it in advance." Lin Miyan's gentle eyes were as gentle as that of Guanyin They were very similar, forcing Xiao Ningyan to hold on to the handkerchief tightly, trying to maintain a submissive and gentle expression: "I only hope that Xiao Guifei can add a man and a half woman to His Majesty after the national funeral, so as to comfort the spirit of Empress Renxiao."

Concubine Qi Xian had no choice but to pretend to drink tea to cover up the smile on her lips, secretly looking at Xiao Guipin's face.

In terms of age, there are only two selected servants in the harem who teach the current superiors, and the earliest concubine Li Gui is older than Xiao Gui.

What is the identity of the optional servant, and what is the identity of Xiao Ningyan?

Besides, although Li Guipin has fallen out of favor, she is not a year older than Xiao Ningyan, and she has an eldest prince under her knees, so if Huashan really wants to talk about swords, Li Guipin is better than Xiao Ningyan.

"Concubine, thank you, Empress." Xiao Ningyan really slipped these words through her teeth, and some bad memories flooded her mind.

After the death of Lin Miyan in her previous life, Xiao Ningyan had not had children for several years after she "loved the special house", so that people inside and outside the palace were very dissatisfied with her, thinking that she was over thirty and still occupying the latrine and delaying the birth of the royal heirs. Stretches.

Especially when she was pregnant with the prince, the news of Zhen Shi's pregnancy came out on the back foot.It proved more and more that the new empress was unworthy and incompetent, which made her cry for a long time at Jinshang.

He had a good sense of Xiao Ningyan at that time, so he patiently comforted her a few words, but he didn't come up with a practical solution.After all, there are too many people who said this, and today they can't call and reprimand them one by one, otherwise the royal family will lose face.

After bestowing Guanyin to Xiao Ningyan, Lin Miyan turned her attention to Li Guibin again.

After the incident between Concubine Xian and Prince Kang, the Li family was no longer as good as it used to be. Even Li Guifei changed from her flamboyant temperament in the East Palace, and became cautious and taciturn.

Lin Miyan didn't want to torment Li Guifei, after all, this woman was destined to be a widow in the palace for the rest of her life, and even the eldest prince was not favored by the emperor, and her reputation in the palace was not as good as that of the second prince who was chosen by the concubine Shun.

"The weather has turned cold these few days. Although it's not yet the season of heavy snow, many things have to be prepared early. I saw that the two leathers sent by Zhen Nuyu were very good, so I gave them to the First Prince and the Second Prince to make two. Big cloak, so that they don’t get frozen during the riding class.” Lin Miyan’s tone became a little gentler, her eyes swept over the concubines present, and finally landed on the vacant seat of Concubine Shun, she frowned slightly and said: “It’s already this hour , Not only did Concubine Shun not arrive, why did the Yonghe Palace not even send anyone."

Lin Miyan recruited Li Fu, but she did not hide her dissatisfaction and said: "Send someone to Yonghe Palace to ask, what is the situation with Concubine Shun, and the second prince, as the second son of His Majesty, you must not let brothers and sisters Waiting for him alone, how polite is this?"

"Hey!" Li Fu, who got the order, was just about to leave the main hall, when he heard a report from outside the door, saying that concubine Shun brought the second prince to pay his respects.

"The concubine came late today, and I ask the empress to forgive me." Concubine Shun saluted Lin Miyan with a sad face, and even the second prince looked sick and thin.

"My sister really took a good time. Just now, the empress wondered why my sister didn't come to pay her respects, but she was just about to send someone to Yonghe Palace to ask her, when she arrived." Xiao Ningyan looked at Lin Miyan, who was on hand, full of blood. Smiling at Concubine Shun, she said: "I think my sister must have something to do so she will be late to greet the empress."

"Empress empress, my concubine dare not break the rules in the palace. It's just that the second prince had a high fever last night, and this concubine was late to take care of the second prince. Please forgive me. I also ask empress to forgive me." Pazi wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said in a desolate tone: "The second prince is suffering from such a mother as the concubine. Every time the concubine thinks about it, she already blames herself."

"Is that so?" Lin Miyan, who was on hand, looked at Concubine Shun's behavior coldly, without being moved in the slightest, and said, "Why does this Palace look at Concubine Shun as if she doesn't feel sorry for the Second Prince at all? What if the Second Prince had a high fever last night? , you should send someone to tell this palace or His Majesty, and if it doesn’t work, you should ask the on-duty imperial physician of the imperial hospital to take a look. Or is it that you, the first palace lord, are unable to even invite the imperial physician of the imperial hospital? .”

Lin Miyan's words can be said to be heartbreaking.

If Concubine Shun admits that she can't hire the Imperial Physician, His Majesty will definitely hold the entire Imperial Hospital accountable, and all the imperial doctors will be offended by Concubine Shun.And if Concubine Shun denies this point, then she doesn't care about the second prince's comfort, at least she will be confinement to think about her mistakes, and at worst she will be demoted.

"My concubine, my concubine forgets these rules and regulations only in a moment of panic. Besides, the concubine was not confinement yesterday, so how dare the concubine disturb her rest." After all, the concubine Shun is an old man who has stayed in the palace for several years. Then he took the steps for himself, and said in a weak tone: "I also ask your empress to be considerate of my concubine's motherly heart."

"Li Fu, give the second prince a seat, and then take a third prince's cloak and put it on the second prince." Lin Miyan did not let Shun concubine get up, but settled the second prince first, and then asked: "If you really have a loving mother Heart, why is it that His Majesty has only been on the throne for one year, and the second prince is recovering from his illness. How many times have you been on leave? Even the master who went to the study asked me about the situation of the second prince."

"It's all because a concubine is useless as a mother, that the second prince was neglected so much." Concubine Shun gave Lin Miyan a big gift, but was interrupted by Lin Miyan just as she was about to continue crying.

"You are really useless as a mother. The second prince is a good child who was raised by you. Who else could it be if you didn't neglect?" What a blessed child he was when he was born. Before His Majesty ascended the throne, the second prince followed you to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha in the royal temple, but he didn’t get sick. Why did he not get well when he moved out of the East Palace? Do you want to tell this palace that it’s over now? The five-year-old second prince is not as easy to carry as a baby?"

"How dare the concubine neglect the second prince?" Concubine Shun walked up to Lin Miyan on her knees, hugged her leg and cried, "It's just that the concubine's status is humble, and the words she said can't be counted. The second prince was born the most humble, how can those servants who watch over people take the concubine, mother and child seriously?"

It turned out that Concubine Shun wanted to use the Second Prince as an excuse so that Jin could raise her status.

The concubines present understood Shun Concubine's plan now, and couldn't help looking at the mournful Concubine Shun with contemptuous eyes.Even An Jieyu had a look of disdain, thinking that Concubine Shun's move was unbelievable.

Although An Jieyu also wants to use her children to ask Jinshang for position, both the second princess and the third princess are her own flesh and blood after she was conceived in October. some.How can you be willing to risk your child's body?After all, this is what she relied on for half of her life. If the good child is gone, she will have nothing.

"Since the Ministry of Internal Affairs sees people order food, the palace can't sit idly by." Lin Miyan asked Li Fu to help Concubine Shun up, and before Shun Concubine could look happy, she ordered: "Let the chief of the Ministry of Internal Affairs take the account book Once I go to Kunning Palace, I have to see what they have eaten so hard that they can neglect the Second Prince."

"Hey." Before Concubine Shun could stop Li Fu, the latter had to order out of the Kunning Palace, and in less than a stick of incense, he brought the chief and deputy chiefs of the House of Internal Affairs, who had been prepared, into the palace, respectfully and respectfully. Go to the account book and say: "Returning to your mother, just now on the road, Director Li told the slave about the neglect of the concubine Shun and His Royal Highness the Second Prince, which scared the servant almost to lose three souls and seven souls. The empress knows clearly, even if the slave is as brave as the sky Dare to neglect the second prince, and besides, His Majesty will ask about the situation of each palace every once in a while, how dare this servant play tricks under His Majesty's dragon prestige."

"It's a bunch of nonsense." Seeing that she had to go all the way to the dark today, Concubine Shun didn't care about the consequences of offending the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and sharply accused: "You villains are the same in front of your majesty and empress. It's the same face behind your Majesty's and empress's back. Don't be fooled by these villains, empress, they will talk nonsense the most."

"Miss Shun concubine be careful, how dare a slave speak nonsense in front of empress empress? Besides, concubine Shun also came from the House of Internal Affairs, is it also hidden in this way?"

"presumptuous."

"Okay, in front of the children, shut up for me, otherwise I will have to ask your majesty to come down." Lin Miyan raised her head and glared at Concubine Shun, and pretended to flip through the account book and asked: "Although everyone There are fixed numbers in the palace, but your expenses, concubine Shun, are not something that a concubine can afford, so how do you explain this?"

"The concubine spends a little extra money just to supplement the second prince's health." The concubine said aggrievedly, "Besides, the concubine's expenses did not exceed the quota too much. Could it be that the empress is still reluctant to part with these vulgar things to supplement the second prince's health? "

"If it's for the health of the prince and princess, these things are really nothing. Just how old is the second prince? You let him use ginseng, deer antler, angelica and other great tonics? Can his body bear it?" Lin Miyan After passing the account book to Concubine Qi Xian, the latter was also very surprised after looking at it carefully: "This amount, let alone a child, may not even be used by an adult. Concubine Shun, did you ask the empress to pay for the second prince's supplements?" The people from the hospital came to take a look? They all said that the medicine is three-point poisonous, if you take supplements indiscriminately, the second prince's body can bear it."

"Sister Xianfei is right." Li Guipin interrupted suddenly: "Although the First Prince is the eldest among His Majesty's children, even today, the concubines still dare not let him eat these great tonics."

"The same goes for the concubine." An Jieyu also followed the trend and said: "Besides, the concubine Xian also said that the weight of going to the Yonghe Palace is not even used by adults. Could it be that the concubine Shun is not in good health, so she has to take Make up for the second prince's share?"

"You..." Concubine Shun pointed at An Jieyu angrily, as if there was old blood stuck in her throat, she couldn't swallow or spit it out.

An Jieyu was not afraid of Concubine Shun, she pretended to be confused and said, "It's just that my younger sister has never heard that Concubine Shun's health is in danger, and besides, the Ping An pulse of Tai Hospital has always been in good order, so why does Concubine Shun want so many supplements?" For the second prince? Or for yourself?"

The author has something to say: the slap in the face is coming. ,
