[Red Mansion] Biography of Empress Lin

"Your Majesty, Xiao Zhaoyi from Yong'an Palace is dying soon."

When Lin Miyan and Concubine Qi Shu were discussing the travel arrangements for the Dragon Boat Festival, Aunt Song suddenly stepped into the room, slapped the two masters on the kang, and said with a distressed face: "Eunuch Ma of Yong'an Palace has handed over to the Hall of Mental Cultivation." By the way, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs asked me to ask you whether to move Xiao Zhaoyi's dharma body to Ji'an Institute, so as not to cause conflicts in the palace."

Although it is a rule handed down by the ancestors to move the dying family members to Ji'an, so as to facilitate the mourning after death.However, all family members who have some status or favor are mourned in the palace.For example, in the previous life, when Lin Miyan's eldest son died, today the third son of the emperor (now the crown prince) was allowed to mourn in the Xiefang Palace, and performed a ritual ceremony in the Changchun Palace.

And when it comes to Xiao Ningyan who has been ignored by Jinshang since entering the palace, not to mention the servants of Yong'an Palace, even the House of Internal Affairs, is not sure what Jinshang means.After all, although the Xiao family was defeated, the skinny camel was bigger than the horse, and regardless of the status of husband and wife, Xiao Ningyan was still the cousin of today, the niece of Empress Renxiao, so she would never be so ruthless.

Even Concubine Qi Shu secretly scrutinized Lin Miyan's face, trying to see her attitude towards her defeated opponent.

Lin Miyan lowered her eyes, pondered for a while and said, "Did Your Majesty not speak?"

"Your Majesty means that everything is up to the Empress." Otherwise, Aunt Rong would not have a look of embarrassment when she replied, and even the House of Internal Affairs, which had seen the storms and waves, would not dare to act rashly for a while.

"Let the House of Internal Affairs prepare the happy tree first, and treat it as a rush." ​​Lin Miyan put the tea cup in her hand aside, motioned for Aunt Rong to come and help her, and then told Concubine Qi Shu: "You go back first. ! I am going to visit Yong'an Palace."

"Respectfully send off the empress." Concubine Qi Shu watched Lin Miyan leave in a half-squatting posture, and then ordered to her eldest maid: "Go and remind the crown princess, let her prepare filial piety first."

"Yes." The eldest maid of Deling asked a young eunuch to take her place, took Concubine Qi Shu's token and rushed towards the East Palace.

As soon as Lin Miyan touched Feng Huo, she smelled a medicine smell that could not be ignored. The inner hall of Yonghe Palace must be more pungent than the outside of the palace gate.

"Your Majesty, do you need a maidservant to give you a break first?" Aunt Rong said worriedly, "Don't let your phoenix body collide with this."

"No need." Lin Miyan raised her hand to stop her and said, "She's already like this, if she still accommodates me, it's too unreasonable."

"The empress is the empress, and she is a concubine. If there is anything, she will not be accommodated." Aunt Rong couldn't help complaining to Lin Miyan as she helped Lin Miyan into the inner hall: "In my servant's opinion, the empress She has done her best to Xiao Zhaoyi. Your majesty hates Xiao Zhaoyi and the Xiao family so much. The empress still asks the Ministry of Internal Affairs not to neglect Xiao Zhaoyi, and the things allocated to Yongan Palace every year are also very good. Even clay figurines should have a heart, and Xiao Zhaoyi should respond Empress is grateful to Dade."

"Grateful to you?" Lin Miyan smiled wryly, "Don't make me so noble, I don't even think that Xiao Zhaoyi should be grateful to me, let alone herself."

The inner hall of Yong'an Palace was filled with smog just as Lin Miyan imagined, making people breathless.

The only people serving Xiao Ningyan were an old lady and a newly assigned little maid. The rest of the palace people, including the chief eunuch of Yong'an Palace, were all looking for their next family.

Unless it is a nanny or aunt who has the position of female official, most of the palace people whose master died will be sent back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

It would be fine if they were the palace servants who served the concubine. After all, the concubine's seniority is there. Excluding the restless concubine Xian, the old concubines of Shoukang Palace are enough to leave some housework for their old people. It's decent to intercede with the government.

However, Xiao Ningyan didn't have this kind of decency after all, and it was difficult for the palace people who had served her to be accepted by other concubines, including those prince concubines and concubines in the East Palace.

After all, the old grudge between Lin Miyan and Xiao Ningyan lies there, but any concubines with a bit of emotional intelligence will not oppose Lin Miyan.

So when Lin Miyan came to see Xiao Ningyan, the inner hall of Yong'an Palace was empty with only wisps of white smoke.

The old lady who took care of Xiao Ningyan was an old member of the Xiao family who was married into the palace. She frowned when she saw Lin Miyan enter the house, and greeted Lin Miyan with suppressed dissatisfaction, and then carefully supported Xiao Ningyan to sit down. She got up, put a few pillows behind Xiao Ningyan, and whispered carefully in her master's ear: "Your Majesty, the Queen's Majesty is here to see you."

Drowsy Xiao Ningyan narrowed her eyes, and showed a strange smile at Lin Miyan: "I knew you would come."

How familiar is everything in front of you!

In her previous life, Xiao Ningyan sat in Lin Miyan's seat, watching Lin Miyan, who was not yet thirty at the time, lying on the big bed in Changchun Palace, dying.

It's just that compared to her now, Lin Miyan at that time was much more "beautiful".

All the concubines knelt in front of the imperial concubine in She Liugong, half covering their sad faces with their handkerchiefs, and at the same time blocking their own overly ambitious ambitions.

"You must really want me to die, just like I at that time... always wanted you to die quickly." Xiao Ningyan, who had no worries, changed the expressions of Aunt Rong and the old woman who took care of her. The nanny quickly covered Xiao Ningyan's chest, and begged Lin Miyan: "Empress, our mother must be sick and stupid, so she speaks without choice. Don't take her words to heart. The servant is begging you."

After all, the old nanny asked the only little maid in the room to support Xiao Ningyan for her, then knelt down and kowtowed to Lin Miyan.

"He's a loyal servant." Lin Miyan waved her hand and said, "Take them down, I want to talk to Xiao Zhaoyi."

"But ma'am..." Aunt Rong wanted to persuade her, but was interrupted by Lin Miyan: "It's come to this point, can I still harm Xiao Zhaoyi, or Xiao Zhaoyi still has the strength to harm me?"

Lin Miyan's words made it impossible for everyone to refute.

Aunt Rong could only stubbornly say: "The servants are guarding the door, and the empress can call the servants to come in at any time."

After all, Aunt Rong looked hesitantly at the haggard Xiao Zhaoyi, sighed with pity, and then took the old mother and the little maid down.

"After I die, will Your Majesty send me back to my family, or let me be buried in the imperial mausoleum?" Xiao Ningyan's eyes had long since lost anger, or rather, from the day she was reborn, the eldest lady of the Xiao family It's already dead: "I will never be crowded with other women after I die, becoming a ghost in the suburbs."

"You're really sick and confused." Lin Miyan never doubted that Xiao Ningyan was a reborn person, because the admiral protected her too well today, plus the two turmoil when Xiao Ningyan entered the palace, so apart from morning and evening and holidays, Lin Miyan didn't have many chances to say a word to Xiao Ningyan: "You are Zhaoyi of the royal family, where else do you want to go besides the imperial mausoleum?"

Lin Miyan thought of what she said to Xiao Ningyan when she first came out of the imperial funeral in the second year of Shunchang, and her tone suddenly turned cold: "My palace and His Majesty have given you a choice, and you insisted on staying in the palace."

If Xiao Ningyan didn't enter the palace, she would be able to spend her whole life in a remote place rich and stable.

Today, he even felt a little guilty towards Xiao Ningyan, thinking that if Xiao Ningyan chose not to enter the palace in this life, he would give Xiao Ningyan a clan title in memory of Empress Renxiao, and arrange a family for her that is not considered prominent, but definitely rich marriage.

However, Xiao Ningyan rejected Jinshang and Lin Miyan twice, so she must not escape from the royal family that frightened her after she died.

The author has something to say: It is estimated that Jinshang will abdicate soon.
