The Second Young Master of the Lin Family in the Red Chamber

As the saying goes, female college students have changed at eighteen, and become more and more beautiful.The Princess Yiyang who appeared in front of Lin Yu was definitely a beautiful woman, and she was pure and natural.But Lin Yu looked at her face after washing off her makeup, but her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly. Why did he feel that this princess looked familiar, since he had only met once before.

The last time Lin Yu saw Princess Yiyang was ten years ago. At that time, she was still a chubby little girl with a bright red cinnabar mole between her eyebrows.

Although Lin Yu's memory is outstanding compared to ordinary people, it is still too embarrassing for him to remember the appearance of a little girl whom he only met once ten years ago, but he has a vague impression of the cinnabar mole. .And just now, when Lin Yu uncovered the princess's red hijab under the watchful eyes of a group of covetous old mothers, the cinnabar mole was still there. Who would have thought that the mole would be gone when he turned around and washed his face...

How is this going? !Lin Yu's brain was running at high speed in an instant. Isn't this a real princess?But why is it like this? The Lord Shang did not take the initiative of the Lin family, but the former emperor forced his daughter to come here. If Lin Yu really had to choose, he would rather choose a lady like Shen Yun than invite a Bodhisattva at home offer.

Suddenly, Lin Yu had a flash of inspiration, and he remembered why the princess looked familiar to him, because she looked a lot like someone who often appeared in front of him.

This person is not Tu Feng, but Liu Xuan. Lin Yu's mind suddenly became confused, and it took a long time for the machine to crash and restart.

"You, you are..." Lin Yu tried his best to suppress his surprise, so that the nuns guarding outside the door would not hear his voice.

"It's me, Uncle Shi, long time no see." Liu Yuan nodded lightly, and admitted with a smile what Lin Yu hadn't finished speaking.

"Girl, tell me quickly what's going on." When he found out that the bride was Liu Yuan, who was under the banner of Princess Yiyang, Lin Yu immediately lost his scruples and sat down next to her.For Lin Yu, Liu Yuan was a girl whom she watched and grew up with, and she was still a junior, so there was no barrier in getting along with her.

Liu Yuan pursed her lips and smiled, and said in a drawn out voice, "Well, it's a long story."

"Then make a long story short." Lin Yu urged, his curiosity was almost overwhelmed.How could it be Liu Yuan? Where did the real princess go? Is Tu Feng helping him or punishing him? The latter seems unnecessary.

"Actually, I'm not very clear about the cause and effect of the matter, so I'll just pick up what I know and tell you." Liu Yuan thought for a while and said seriously: "That year, His Majesty gave the Liu family grace and gave me freedom. Before entering the palace, His Majesty came to ask me again if I would like to stay in the palace as the eldest princess of Yiyang, I asked my grandfather what he meant, and I stayed."

The reason why Liu Xu asked Liu Yuan to make such a choice is not difficult to guess.She is Tu Hua's concubine, and the whole world knows about it, unless she dies in the palace as a concubine, she can only change her identity.The Liu family is considered a powerful family, but the new identities they can give Liu Yuan are at most a daughter of a collateral lineage, or a widow. No matter whether she remarries in the future, it will be very different from her original life.

In order to keep the secret, there must not be many people who know Liu Yuan's identity. When their parents are still around, they may be able to take care of them for a while, but once Liu Xuan's eldest brother and sister-in-law are gone, what should Liu Yuan do?The princess is different. She has a mansion and a salary, and she can decide everything by herself. She doesn't have to worry about her husband's negligence when she descends. If she doesn't marry, she won't be gossiped about.only--

"Your Majesty, why..." Lin Yu still didn't understand Tu Feng's motives. What the Liu family did for him, it didn't make sense for him to reward them like this.

Liu Yuan shook her head slightly, "I'm also curious about this matter, but Your Majesty refuses to talk about it, but Concubine Shu once mentioned that the fifth prince's death is inseparable from the former emperor's death."

It turned out that Lin Yu suddenly realized that, he just said, the Ninth Prince's cautious character by nature, it is impossible to commit the act of killing his father, he does not have that much courage.It turned out that Tu Hua colluded with the fifth prince to do it. The fifth prince is a cripple and has long been out of luck for a high position. It is impossible for others to imagine that he would do such a thing.

Concubine De and Princess Yiyang are probably also involved in this incident. No wonder Concubine De died of illness shortly after Tu Feng came to the throne. The Fifth Prince heard that he was also dying of illness. Tu Feng did not publicly execute his brothers and sisters. , it should be for the face of the royal family, even Tu Hua, in the eyes of outsiders, just died of illness.

Replacing Yiyang's identity with Liu Yuan can kill two birds with one stone for Tu Feng. It not only gives the Liu family grace and makes them more loyal to him, but also prevents Concubine De's mother and son from passing away one after another in a short period of time, which arouses suspicion.It's just that Liu Yuan was Tu Hua's concubine after all, so what did Tu Feng think of the Lin family by marrying her over like this.

Seeing the change in Lin Yu's face, Liu Yuan hurriedly said again: "Originally, Your Majesty wanted to find a way to ruin the engagement. I neither wanted to remarry, nor did I want to miss you, but Your Majesty changed his mind later. He also asked Concubine Shu to tell me that there is no need to worry about everything, he has his own arrangements, and I can't resist the order, so that's the only way to go."

After Liu Yuan's explanation, Lin Yu's complexion became a little better, which is more or less the same.The princess's descent, no matter how noble her status is, the essence is that the royal family and courtiers are married, not enmity.If there is no legitimate reason, giving someone a fake princess, or marrying someone, is not forcing people to rebel.

Liu Yuan thought that Lin Yu still cared, and added: "I will ignore how many concubines you want to take in the future, and I will raise your own children when you have children." In Liu Yuan's imagination, Lin Yu should She had a crush on someone, but her status was not enough to marry Lin Yu in an upright manner, but Liu Yuan still couldn't figure out why Tu Feng cared about Lin Yu so much.

Lin Yu laughed loudly when he heard the words, but did not explain in detail, which made Liu Yuan very confused.Because they were newly married, the two had to share the same room, and after talking about the important things, they each slept with their clothes on.

The next day, Lin Yu took his new daughter-in-law to meet his father and brother-in-law. The two parties first presented the national ceremony and then the family ceremony. The etiquette was extremely complicated.Lin Ruhai had never met Princess Yiyang, and had only seen Liu Yuan when she was a child, so naturally she wouldn't notice something was wrong.Although Shen Yun is a daughter of an aristocratic family, she has been serving her grandparents with her mother in her hometown for a long time. When she came to Beijing, Liu Yuan had already entered the palace, and Princess Yiyang lived in a house for a long time, and she had never seen any of them. The two sisters-in-law just greeted each other, and only Lin Jin had a calm smile on his lips.

Lin Yu didn't say much, just smiled at him, and didn't catch Lin Jin to the study until he sent Liu Yuan back to the princess mansion, and asked him what was going on.

Lin Jin did not deny it, and said that it was his intention to maintain the marriage contract between Lin Yu and Princess Yiyang, but Tu Feng's original plan was to ask the princess to serve in front of the Buddha under the pretext of Concubine De's death, so that the marriage could be postponed indefinitely Push it, and then cancel it logically, so that Lin Yu can get a high-ranking lady to enter the door again.

"How is it? Did you feel very surprised?" Lin Jin smiled and patted Lin Yu on the shoulder, obviously asking for credit.

Lin Yu was stunned for a moment, then suddenly rushed over to hug Lin Jin, and said in a deep voice, "Thank you, brother!" After traveling through so many years, he called this brother with sincerity.

"Don't talk to me in such a nasty tone, I'm getting goosebumps." Lin Jin curled her lips and pulled Lin Yu off her body.

Lin Yu was not discouraged, and rushed forward again and asked, "Why did you think of doing this?" To be honest, this matter is not like Lin Jin's style of doing things.

Lin Jin didn't pick on Lin Yu again, but said indifferently: "How could I have thought of this, it was your little Xuaner who came to me, and she asked me for help if she wanted to die."

What?It's Yoo Hyun!Lin Yu was too stunned to speak.

"I didn't want to pay attention to him." Lin Jin continued: "He said it easily, and everyone is happy when this matter is done, but the king's heart is unpredictable. Who knows what His Majesty will think?"

Yes, how could Tu Feng be so considerate, it turned out that Lin Jin and Liu Xuan planned it.

"Then why did you change your mind?" Lin Yu had already experienced Liu Xuan's hard work.

"What can I do, Xiao Xuan'er told me pitifully, as long as you marry a wife, you will definitely ignore him, but you like him, and you will never be happy for the rest of your life when you face people you don't like every day. I can't bear it, it just so happens that the current Princess Yiyang is replaced by a girl, so it's better..." Lin Jin sighed helplessly: "I was tortured by him, so I had to agree, I think you will be very satisfied with the result .”

"Your Majesty also agreed?" Lin Yu was surprised by Lin Jin's influence on Tu Feng.

"It's not surprising that he agrees to the matter of going with the flow." For Tu Feng, maintaining the marriage contract is to abide by the last emperor's will, and it is not difficult to do, but it takes some work to dissolve the marriage contract. Since the Lin family doesn't mind marrying a fake princess When he returned home, he was happy to give him a favor, which would also increase Lin Jin's affection for him, so why not do it.

Lin Jin's words were quite meaningful, but Lin Yu could still hear a little bit of embarrassment from his slightly rising tail.

"Brother, you and Your Majesty... What's going on?" When Lin Jin was in Youzhou before, Lin Jin had a crush on Tu Feng, but Tu Feng always refused. After returning to the capital, Lin Jin didn't know what happened. Yu felt that the two of them got better somehow, but it was not very clear to what extent they got better.

Lin Jin was startled when he heard the words, pondered for a moment and said, "Yu'er, don't worry, I know what I'm doing very well, and I won't get my family involved."

"Brother, that's not what I meant." Seeing that Lin Jin's understanding was wrong, Lin Yu hurriedly said, "I just... well, as long as you think it's good." Lin Yu is not the kind of "only state officials are allowed to set fire, People who don’t allow people to light lamps” have boyfriends themselves, and it is even more impossible to interfere with Lin Jin. It’s just that being with the emperor is like a tiger, and it’s not easy to be a close minister to the emperor. It’s even more difficult for people like Lin Jin and Tu Feng. Feng had other thoughts in the future, and he didn't dare to think about Lin Jin's fate.

"Okay, don't talk about it, I understand." Lin Jin is very measured and confident about how Tu Feng treats himself. He smiled and said instead: "Xiao Xuan'er sees you again, I'm sure If you want to claim credit, don't make him too proud, tell him that if he fails the Jinshi exam for a day, I won't recognize his identity for a day."

Lin Yu smiled and nodded repeatedly. The most troublesome marriage issue was solved so easily, and he was never dissatisfied.

On the third day of the wedding, Princess Yiyang returned home. Concubine De was dead, and the Fifth Prince was too ill to see the guests. Lin Yu and Liu Yuan wanted to visit, but Tu Feng was the only one.

Tu Feng didn't say much, just rewarded the princess and the son-in-law as usual, and then told Lin Yu to do a good job in the future.

Logically, one should visit the Queen Mother, but Tu Feng was clever. He sent the Queen Mother Liu and her grandchildren to another courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing yesterday, just to avoid it, so as not to increase the trouble.

One more thing is worse than one less thing. Tu Feng didn't intend to let too many people know the inside story of the real and fake princess, even the Empress Dowager Liu kept it a secret.
