The eldest son of the concubine who crossed the red mansion

"King Zhongshun wants to form an alliance with the Jin clan?! Is this true or not?" Tu Qingze couldn't believe it. Even if he knew that his younger brother coveted the throne, he wouldn't be so stupid.Knowing that this place is next to the emperor, surrounded by the emperor's eyeliner, he dared to meet the leader of the alliance outside the Great Wall so boldly. If it wasn't for his younger brother's conspiracy, it would be too eager.

"Princess Sobud told this to my younger brother, so there must be nothing wrong with it." Tu Qingchen said, "And Xiuhe also heard the conversation between my younger brother and the princess, and my younger brother did not add any embellishments. .”

"Back to the emperor, what Prince Gong said is true." Lin Yuxuan also didn't understand why King Zhongshun was so impatient at this time, "It's just that I have doubts in my heart. possible."

"Concubine Zhengui is seriously ill. The Zhen family's influence in the south of the Yangtze River is not as good as before, and it seems to be in danger. King Zhongshun's biggest backer was originally the Zhen family, but now that the Zhen family has declined, King Zhongshun has to find another strength. I think King Zhongshun probably It was because he was afraid that the emperor would deal with him, and wanted to strike first, but he forgot that the alliance outside the Great Wall and Emperor Daqing had always been on good terms. Suppressed." Nuo'an slowly analyzed, "King Zhongshun is a man who is brave and intrepid, otherwise he would not have done such a thing back then, and this move is probably due to his temper."

Lin Yuxuan thought of Lin Ruhai's injury that year, and had to admit that it was a correct fact that Nuo'an said that King Zhongshun was "brave but not resourceful".He recalled the incident when he was framed back then, probably because King Zhongshun ordered the Zhen family to do it. Do you want to declare to the world that the emperor doesn't know people well by beating himself, the emperor's son-in-law?

"Zhong Shun was spoiled by Concubine Zhen Gui since he was a child. I have a general understanding of his temperament, but I still have some doubts about this matter. It will not be too late to make a conclusion after ordering someone to investigate clearly." Although Tu Qingze knew about Tu Qingxi His character is impatient and irresistible, but he is still worried that someone he doesn't know is involved behind the scenes, "Don't make it public, Princess Sobud will give Shiliu a marriage. She will be by the Queen's side for a while."

"The younger brother/the minister understands."

The emperor came to the palace outside the Great Wall with his people in a mighty way, and after staying for nearly a month, he went back in a big way.Different from the time when he came, besides Sobud, princess of the Jin clan, who returned to Beijing this time, there were a few more exotic faces beside Tu Qingze—this was the last day when the leaders of the tribes were invited to the banquet. After Tu Qingze rewarded some of the women who came up to the Jin Dynasty to his brothers and the warriors of various tribes, he also kept two and brought them back to the capital.This move depressed the accompanying concubines except the queen for a long time.

Lin Yuxuan was also secretly happy for a long time when he thought of Tu Qingchen's face when he was bestowed with a beautiful woman.Fortunately, the emperor didn't give him one, otherwise he wouldn't know what to do.However, there was news from Beijing that Lin Daiyu had given birth to a boy on September [-]th. The mother and child were safe, so he was relieved.

After returning home, Lin Yuxuan and Shuyi washed up, and then went to the conservatory to visit their daughter whom they hadn't seen for nearly two months.Ning Chun was still asleep, and the two waited until Ning Chun woke up.Seeing his daughter smiling sweetly at him, all the hard work of traveling all day has paid off.

The little white foxes hunted by Lin Yuxuan have been bred to be as round as fat balls. Ning Chun cautiously stretched out her hands to touch them, and found that they were soft and soft to the touch. She couldn't help laughing "hehe".A baby's laughter is always the most healing to the soul, Lin Yuxuan sighed, it is still comfortable at home.

"Why are you sighing so well?" Shuyi coaxed Ning Chun, and asked with a smile when she heard a sigh in her ear.

"It's really comfortable in the mansion. If I ride a horse every day for more than a month, my request will be ruined." Lin Yuxuan replied.What's even more tiring is that after going to Qiuyu outside the Great Wall, he still has to worry about King Zhongshun's affairs, racking his brains to figure out what the hell this prince is doing.

"The left and right father told you to take a rest tomorrow, so you don't have to go to the Ministry of Rites. Take me and Ning Chun to the Zhuangyuan Mansion to see my sister. Count the days, and my sister will be confinement."

"Okay." Lin Yuxuan also wanted to see Lin Daiyu, so he had a chat with his brother-in-law.

Li Shen is now in the Hanlin Academy. Unlike Lin Yuxuan, who has not yet taken the imperial examination, he has high hopes for Qingze, a local student who has not taken the imperial examination, but he has quietly been promoted to a bachelor of the Imperial Academy, from a fourth-rank official.Lin Yuxuan brought Shuyi to visit him this time, and he is also very welcome, after all, his uncle is young and beautiful now.

After someone took Shuyi to see Lin Daiyu, Li Shen took Lin Yuxuan to the flower hall, asked someone to make a cup of Liu'an tea, and said, "How is the scenery beyond the Great Wall?"

"It's quite different from the capital city, but I'm very tired from riding horses every day." Lin Yuxuan said with a smile.

"It's an honor to be able to accompany the escort." Li Shen said, his tone full of envy.He and Lin Yuxuan were in the same discipline, and he was the number one scholar, so he should have something to be proud of than anyone else.It's just that there are heaven and man outside the sky, and there are people outside the sky. Although Lin Yuxuan is not a first-class man, he can walk faster than anyone else. "I'm in the same subject as Xiuhe, but I'm far behind Xiuhe."

"Zicheng is a man who can become a master, why is he so self-pitying?" Lin Yuxuan said, "The emperor has always paid attention to the Imperial Academy, and sooner or later he will notice Zicheng's talent." The Imperial Academy is still composed of a group of old courtiers left behind by the Supreme Emperor. Look, it's not that these ministers are not good, but sometimes some people will rely on themselves as old courtiers and like to dictate the emperor's will.Of course, this was also indulged by Tu Qingze's good temper these years.It's just that Lin Yuxuan knew that once Tu Qingze revealed his gentle appearance, these veterans would probably suffer.

Since ancient times, the contradiction between the new emperor and the old courtiers has always been like this.

"I hope so." Li Shen smiled, "However, the old scholar has often been in poor health in recent years, and I can also take this opportunity to show my skills."

This is the Li Shenna I know.Lin Yuxuan smiled and said, "Zi Cheng is full of confidence in what he said."

Just as Li Shen was about to answer, a maid who brought tea came in.Lin Yuxuan only saw a snow-white hand put a cup of tea beside him, and he seemed to smell a faint scent of powder on the tip of his nose, and frowned unconsciously.Generally, maids who serve people don't know how to put on those scented powders. What's wrong with this maid?

Frowning with Lin Yuxuan was Li Shen, who said coldly, "Why did you come to serve tea? Where are the others?"

Lin Yuxuan raised his head to look at that woman, she was indeed very good looking.Emei frowned slightly, with a pair of watery almond eyes, a small nose and cherry lips, and after listening to Li Shen's cold words, she bit her lower lip lightly, showing her white teeth slightly.She was wearing a pink dress, standing there with her head bowed, looking very pitiful.

"The maidservant saw that the waiter was very busy, so she came over to deliver tea to the young master." She raised her head and gave Li Shen a sad look.

"If you have time to serve me here, why don't you go to the conservatory to serve my wife. It's none of your business here, go back." Li Shen doesn't know how to be sympathetic, this woman is his liaison, because it was given by the old lady, so he can't shirk it , but Li Shen never liked her very much.

Lin Yuxuan understood that he dared to stage a fight for favor in front of him, but it was a pity that Li Shen didn't accept this.He took a sip from the teacup, and the tea brewed from the newly obtained tea leaves was good.

The woman gritted her teeth and ran out.With his good eyesight, Lin Yuxuan definitely saw the tears in the corners of the man's eyes.He finally couldn't help but jokingly said, "Zicheng is very lucky."

However, Li Shen shook his head: "After all, it is the person bestowed by grandma, I just need to be cold. But I don't want her to be so reckless!"

Lin Yuxuan pursed his lips and smiled, not saying much.After all, it is Li Shen's business, it's better for him as an outsider not to talk too much.However, although this housemaid is a slave, she is also a person in the room after all, so it would not be good to come out to meet outsiders like this?Lin Yuxuan didn't have a roommate himself, so he didn't know much about it, but judging from Li Shen's expression, he probably was sulking too.

Lin Yuxuan didn't know that Li Shen was so angry. Apart from some of the reasons Lin Yuxuan thought, it was more because of the girl's dissatisfaction and anger at his master's orders.

Seeing the intensifying storm under Li Shen's eyes, Lin Yuxuan drank his tea very calmly and didn't say anything.

Li Shen quickly calmed down the anger in his heart, he said calmly: "I told Xiuhe to watch the joke."

"It's okay, there are not many disobedient servants in the mansion." Lin Yuxuan put down the teacup, "Actually, forgive me for asking too much, has Zicheng thought about his future goals, whether to stay in the Imperial Academy, or want to Facing the court directly?"

"If possible, it is natural to be able to face the court directly. The Imperial Academy is very deep, and there are many factions. It is better to step out of the Imperial Academy and let the birds fly in the sky." The emperor thinks highly of it, but after all, it is a family of military officers, the emperor will never rest assured that your family is the only one.Fortunately, Li Shen's father was a man who knew how to advance and retreat. When the new emperor ascended the throne, he gave up his military power and finally kept his family safe.But Li Shen didn't think so, he wanted his family to be able to stand still after losing the military power.

"To be honest, I also think that Zicheng's talent can not only make a big difference in the Imperial Academy." The Imperial Academy is a place that scholars all over the world yearn for, but Lin Yuxuan thinks that Li Shen is suitable for a wider range, but the premise is that he wants to Get Tu Qingze's favor.

"Accept your auspicious words." Li Shen said, "I have already ordered someone to prepare lunch, Xiuhe will stay for dinner, and it happens that I can meet Yu'er."

"it is good."

Lin Daiyu is plump now, not as slender as before.She held a swaddling baby in her arms, with a motherly smile on her face.Lin Yuxuan hugged the big fat doll and looked at it. He was satisfied with the nephew's weight, and took off the emerald eagle double badger from his waist, saying that it was a gift from himself to the nephew.

Lin Daiyu knew that this jade pendant had been worn by her elder brother since she was a child, and she heard that it was a gift from the deceased old lady. She wanted to shirk it, but Lin Yuxuan forced it into her baby.Lin Daiyu couldn't resist him, so she had to ask someone to put it away properly.

After everyone had lunch, Lin Yuxuan took Shuyi back to the residence.
