Jinyu of the Red Chamber

After Lin Ruhai left, Emperor Xuanchen went to Empress Duanhui's bedroom.

Empress Duanhui was not the Yuan Empress of Emperor Xuanchen, but the youngest daughter of the Chen family in Huaiyang. After marrying Emperor Xuanchen, she gave birth to two princes for him. After giving birth to the fourth prince Junse, his health has been bad since then, and he passed away within a year. There is a way that a country cannot live without a king, and the harem naturally cannot live without a queen. Emperor Xuanchen chose Hua from among the concubines. The imperial concubine canonized as the empress, this noble concubine Hua was also born in a very noble family, but she never gave birth to a prince, she only had a daughter named Ying Yang, who was very favored by the emperor, and she was still in her boudoir in [-] years, which made Empress Duanhui very fond of her .

To say that Empress Duanhui was chosen by Emperor Xuanchen to be a queen is not an ordinary person. When she was a concubine, she kept her own place, was gentle and courteous, and never competed with others. She has always turned a blind eye to jealousy, but if someone thinks that she is a good-natured person, it is a big mistake. She has always been full of means and strategies, otherwise she would not be among the concubines. Stand out and occupy the back position.

Empress Duanhui was very surprised to see Emperor Xuanchen coming, because Emperor Xuanchen seldom set foot in the harem in recent years, let alone the appearance of the blue sky and white sun. After greeting Emperor Xuanchen, Empress Duanhui smiled and said: "Your Majesty! How come this time has come, is there any food? The concubine has asked someone to prepare your favorite steamed cake, do you want to try it?"

"The queen has a heart." Emperor Xuanchen nodded and said with a slight smile. No wonder he was satisfied with Queen Duanhui. Look at her, even if Emperor Xuanchen didn't come, she would have prepared his favorite food , This is called putting the emperor in my heart!

Empress Duanhui ordered people to serve cakes, served tea herself, and said with a smile: "When my concubine's mother came to see my concubine, I brought some special gifts from relatives for this concubine, and this concubine wanted to send it to Lord Ye. I don't know if he will like it."

"It's his blessing to think about him, how could he not like it!" Emperor Xuanchen said with a sip of tea and chuckled.

Empress Duanhui replied with a smile, but she didn't dare to listen to Emperor Xuanchen's words in her heart. Although she had the status of a queen, she was the mother of Prince Ye in name, but after all, she was the son of Empress Yuan. Where was she? This successor is comparable.

"Look at what the emperor said, if you want your concubines to say that Lord Ye is blessed, intelligent and filial, it's no wonder that the emperor loves it, but it's a pity that your concubines are not blessed and did not give birth to a prince for the emperor." Empress Duanhui is very self-aware, Ye The prince told her that she could answer as a queen mother, but he didn't dare to put on the airs of a queen mother.

Emperor Xuanchen laughed: "If you want me to say that the princess is good, I like Yingyang when I look at it." Speaking of this, Emperor Xuanchen asked: "Where is Yingyang?"

"It's in the Empress Dowager's bedroom! The concubine won't let her disturb the empress dowager's rest. If she refuses to listen, the concubine will be spoiled." Empress Duanhui shook her head lightly and said helplessly.

"The Empress Dowager likes Yingyang, so it's good to let her accompany you." Emperor Xuanchen said softly, with a slight hook on the corner of his mouth, and smiled: "You have been worrying about Yingyang's marriage, but now I have found a good man for her. Jun, I’m here to discuss this matter with you.”

Empress Duanhui was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "I don't know which family's son fell into the eyes of the emperor."

"Lin Ruhai's son." Emperor Xuanchen said with a smile.

"But the young champion of Sanyuan Jidi?" Empress Duanhui was overjoyed and asked hurriedly.

Emperor Xuanchen nodded: "It turns out that the queen knows it too! Yes, it is Lin Jinyu. I like this kid when I see him. He is very capable. I just handled another beautiful case. I have appointed him as the supervisor." It's too late, even though it's a bit lower from the fifth rank, but with this kid's ability, he will be able to rise up sooner or later."

"My concubines don't dislike Mr. Lin's low grade. Your Majesty, you don't know that Mr. Lin is the best son-in-law candidate in the hearts of all sisters. It's just that he has never mentioned it to the emperor because of his young age." Empress Duanhui smiled lightly. Said, she knows how much Lin Ruhai is favored by the emperor now. Although she has never seen Lin Jinyu, she has heard her brother mention it several times. The matter is now being talked about by her brother, and it has only been a long time before she went to work in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

"If you're satisfied, I'll call him over for you to see each other."

As soon as Emperor Xuanchen's words fell to the ground, a silver bell-like laughter came: "Father, what do you want to see with the Queen Mother?"

Emperor Xuanchen looked back and laughed: "I must have seen your husband-in-law."

Ying Yang pursed his lips, and laughed heartily: "Father will make fun of me."

"This time is not a joke, Zhen has found a good man for you, just be a bride!" Emperor Xuan Chen laughed, looking at Ying Yang lovingly, feeling a little bit reluctant for a while.Ying Yang opened his eyes wide and asked in surprise, "Father, is what you said true?"

"Of course it can't be fake." Emperor Xuanchen replied with a smile.

"Then what kind of person did the emperor choose?" Ying Yang was rather curious.

"Yingyang." Empress Duanhui snorted, "How can a daughter inquire about these things by herself, there is really no rule."

Ying Yang glanced at Empress Duanhui, shook Empress Duanhui's arm with a smile, and said with a smile: "Queen Mother, don't be angry! My daughter is just curious."

Empress Duanhui sighed helplessly: "You!"

Ying Yang smiled and rolled his eyes, and said coquettishly to Emperor Xuanchen, "Father."

Emperor Xuanchen chuckled: "It's the No. [-] scholar of Sanyuan and Jidi. How about it, are you satisfied?"

"How can I be dissatisfied with the person chosen by my father?" Ying Yang said with a smile, but in his heart he was thinking of asking Grandpa Haosheng to see what the background of this No.

Empress Duanhui coughed, glanced at Yingyang secretly, and said, "Why did you come back? Aren't you accompanying the imperial grandmother?"

Ying Yang let out a 'ah', and hurriedly said: "Sister Jinglan has returned to the palace, and she is crying at the imperial grandmother! It seems that I have been wronged, the imperial grandmother asked me to come back and tell my mother that you can go to her at night. "

Empress Duanhui was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help looking at Emperor Xuanchen, but seeing that he didn't react much, and even faintly disgusted, she hurriedly said: "Hurry up and go to the Empress Dowager, just say that I will go there at night, and you also persuade him As soon as I persuade Jing Lan, don't cry anymore."

Ying Yang responded, bid farewell to Emperor Xuanchen and Empress Duanhui, and left.

"Your Majesty, Jing Lanna... Do you want her to stay in the palace for a few days?" Empress Duanhui asked softly, feeling really impatient in her heart.

Emperor Xuanchen snorted coldly: "It's a good day, but these things that embarrass the royal face have happened. You don't need to pay attention to her, just tell her that if you are making trouble, you don't need to enter the palace in the future."

Empress Duanhui persuaded her a few words in a low voice, but she couldn't understand what she said, so she had to transfer the words to Ying Yang: "Your Majesty, since you mentioned Ying Yang's marriage, should you arrange it early? It’s really not young, even Wen Shu is already married.”

Just as Emperor Xuanchen was about to respond, he thought of Junse, so he paused for a while and said with a smile: "Don't worry, wait until you meet Jinyu and let Qin Tianjian pick a good day. Now that Haosheng is preparing, and Yingyang is getting married, I can't let her be wronged."

Empress Duanhui responded with a smile, thinking about communicating with the Queen Mother, and then taking a look at what kind of character this Lin Jinyu is.

Emperor Xuanchen chatted with Empress Duanhui for a few more words, and then returned to the imperial study, and Empress Duanhui hurriedly sent someone to the Queen Mother to call Princess Yingyang after Emperor Xuanchen left.

Princess Yingyang came back from the Empress Dowager, as soon as she entered the inner room, she saw Empress Duanhui frowning tightly, she winked and asked the palace servants to serve outside, while she herself poured a cup of tea for Empress Duanhui, saying: " Is the queen mother worried about my marriage?"

Empress Duanhui sighed, held Princess Yingyang's hand, and said in a low voice: "I wanted to marry you into the Cheng family before, your aunt has always treated you very well, and your cousin is also very good, but now That hope was cut off."

"Mother, don't need to worry, Father will not treat Ying Yang badly, and the one who can get into Father's eyes must not be that idiot, how could he treat me wrong! If he is a good person after marriage, Let's just live with respect as guests, and if it's unbearable, we can live our own lives, and it won't hinder anyone's eyes." Ying Yang said in a low voice, which was in stark contrast to his clever and delicate performance in front of Emperor Xuanchen.

"Your father wants to marry you to Lin Ruhai's son-in-law. I have heard about this son, and your uncle has also praised him." Empress Duanhui naturally did not want her daughter to be so negative, so she hurriedly comforted her.

But Ying Yang smiled: "Since my uncle said it was good, I guess it won't be bad, so why worry about my mother?"

"You don't know, I heard from your uncle that Lin Jinyu was very close to Lord Ye, and I can't say whether it will be a blessing or a curse in the future. I only have a child like you, so I want you to be safe and sound in the future. How promising is the husband-in-law you marry, but I don’t want you to be worried.” Empress Duanhui sighed softly, and looked at Yingyang lovingly. Had a great marriage.

Ying Yang held Empress Duanhui's hand instead, and said softly: "My mother is too worried, even if I marry my cousin, can I guarantee a safe and stable future? Among the three imperial brothers, my father likes four the most. Brother Huang, I can see that Lin Jinyu and Brother Four are getting close, but it doesn't hurt me." After speaking, Ying Yang lowered his voice: "Queen Mother, you are also in the second place now, so you always have to think about yourself. When the new emperor ascends the throne, you will naturally be respected as the empress dowager, but the biological mothers of the second and third brothers are both present. If there is such a day, how can they be reconciled? I love him very much, and my family can do anything, if my grandfather surrenders to the Fourth Emperor Brother, the Fourth Prince will achieve great success in the future and he will not treat Grandpa badly, and it will be beneficial to you."

"I don't know what you said, but how can your fourth brother trust others? His natal family is capable, and his status is the highest among the princes. As long as the emperor's mind is not shaken, who can shake him?" location." Empress Duanhui sighed lightly.

But Ying Yang smiled: "Now is just an opportunity, didn't uncle say that Lin Jinyu and Brother Four are getting close!"

"That's what I said, but I have wronged you." Empress Duanhui was strong, and she was unwilling to let her only daughter suffer any wronged.

Ying Yang didn't take it seriously, shaking his head and said: "Queen, I don't have any grievances. I don't know how many princesses from the previous dynasty died in other countries after getting married. It is the greatest blessing that I can stay with my queen now. .”

Empress Duanhui sighed softly, stroked Yingyang's hair, and a look of helplessness flashed in her eyes. This is the helplessness and misfortune of being a member of the royal family. She can't even make any reference for her daughter in matters of marriage, she just enjoys it. What can I do without this overwhelming wealth.
