The eldest son of the concubine who crossed the red mansion

By the time the funeral ceremony for Concubine Wen Dun is over, it will already be the beginning of April.The rest of the work was handled by the Ministry of Industry, and Lin Yuxuan finally recovered from King Zhongshun's torment. Even so, Lin Yuxuan felt that he was about to be tormented.Fortunately, although King Zhongshun intended to target him, he refuted them with various regulations and formulations. Otherwise, he would have violated the rules. I am afraid that the emperor would trouble the people in the Ministry of Rites after he found out.

The Supreme Emperor seems to have come out of his grief, and now he only takes the eldest prince Ziyu by his side to raise him occasionally, or teases his grandson and granddaughter with the empress dowager, quite like the old people in ordinary people's homes.But after hearing Shuyi's greeting, she came back and said that the emperor's temper is still unstable, and sometimes he suddenly became angry while talking, so the empress dowager doesn't ask the juniors to greet the emperor now.

"We don't have to enter the palace for the Dragon Boat Festival family banquet. Grandpa Huang said that in order to let everyone observe filial piety, this family banquet has been cancelled." Shuyi changed into a normal dress, her tight bun was loosened and tied loosely around her head. Finally, pinned the jade-colored flat hairpin, "This year's weather is very hot, but it's different from previous years."

Pregnant women are not resistant to heat, and this spring is also strange, there is no rain.Lin Yuxuan asked Hongxiu to help Shuyi play the fan, and changed into a green and breathable robe himself, and said, "Indeed, not only in the capital, but also in the south of the Yangtze River. If this continues, there may be a food shortage during the autumn harvest." gone."

"If things go on like this, Father will go to the Temple of Heaven to pray for rain today." Shuyi asked someone to make two bowls of plum soup, "Fortunately, Ning Chun's child is not afraid of heat, don't be sure it's going to be noisy."

"I asked someone to make a nine-ring buckle for her, and she is having fun now." Lin Yuxuan smiled gently, "I asked someone to go to Qiaozhizhai to make you a rosewood silver silk hundred bats and purple jade Ruyi, listen The master in the store said that Yitou is the best. But be careful, don't be seen by Ning Chun, or you will shout that it is hers again. "

Thinking of how her daughter often hides her jewelry, Shuyi couldn't help laughing.Ning Chun, a child, is probably a little money fan, and he doesn't like gold and silver that much.But she just likes the shiny pearl hairpins. Whenever she sees them, she always grabs them and plays with them. She almost scratched her face several times, which made her almost cry out in disgrace.After a few lessons, Ning Chun finally understood that it was not something to play with, so she recently shifted her target to Yu Ruyi on the bed.

"I don't know who that child's temperament is." Lin Yuxuan also laughed, "Ning Chun's birthday is coming soon, you post a post asking brother-in-law and Daiyu to go to the house to have a meal together, we haven't seen each other for a while It's Gong'er." Gong'er is the nickname of the son of Li Shen and Lin Daiyu.

"Okay." Shuyi nodded.

May 29th is Ning Chun's birthday. Shuyi is pregnant and can't go in and out of the kitchen casually. After ordering the menu with Nanny Yu, she asks Nanny Yu to make a soup of wild mushrooms and wild pigeons. This soup is delicious, Whether it is the married Lin Daiyu or the child Ning Chun, they like it very much.

At two o'clock, Lin Daiyu carried Ku'er in her arms and came down to the front hall under the leadership of the servants.Because neither Lin Yuxuan nor Li Shen had a rest today, so they are the only two staying in the mansion now.Ning Chun is very close to this aunt, and is even more curious about the little cousin who is in the swaddling baby. She can't help but walk over to have a look, and sometimes she reaches out to touch Ku'er's face.

"My brother is so cute. Mother must give Ning Chun such a cute brother." Chewing the sweet-scented osmanthus candy in his mouth, Ning Chun looked at Gong'er and Shuyi's stomach, "Wait a little When my younger brother was born, I gave him the nine-ring buckle in the house."

"Don't Ning Chun give Gong'er something?" Lin Daiyu teased her, "Didn't you just say that you like Gong'er brother very much?"

Ning Chun pouted, was in a dilemma, and suddenly smiled and said, "Auntie, don't be afraid. When Dad comes back, I will give him another pair of nine-ring buckles. Then they will all have something to play with!"

Lin Daiyu was amused by her childish words, she looked at Shuyi's stomach with some envy, and said, "Sister-in-law must be seven months old."

"Yes." Shuyi lovingly touched her protruding belly.In three months, her and Lin Yuxuan's second child will be born. Although her husband is not obvious, Shuyi has seen him looking at the family tree with a book several times, as if he is looking at the family tree. Choose words with good meanings as the child's name.

"It's great, Ning Chun will have a companion soon." Lin Daiyu also wants to have another child, but Li Shen said that she is still a little weak, and it is not suitable for her to have a child yet.Moreover, Gong'er is not yet two years old, it will not be too late when he is older and sensible.

"Speaking of the recent incidents one after another," Shuyi showed a "you understand" expression, "I haven't called Li Mama back for a long time. Now it's just you and me, tell me honestly, the Li family Is the old lady still bothering you? Are the two maids in the mansion making trouble?"

"Where do they dare?" Lin Daiyu asked the nurse to take Ku'er down to rest, and took a sip of a cup of tea by herself, "Mingpei has been neglected by her husband since that day when she ran to her brother without permission, and she didn't even bring Mingyu with her." She has a good face. As for the old lady, sister-in-law doesn’t have to worry. Now that I have a son and she has a great-grandson, she is naturally happy. Now she can’t wait to take Gong’er to her place every day, but I have always refused.”

Seeing that Lin Daiyu's words were a lot tougher now, Shuyi smiled with satisfaction and said, "This is the girl from our Lin family."

"I understand now. Didn't the old lady dislike me at the beginning because she disliked my background and thought I was not suitable for giving birth? Now that I have a son, she is also very picky. Besides, now that my brother has won the trust of the emperor, Li It is inevitable that my family will value me more." Lin Daiyu and You Rongyan, it is indeed her pride to have such a capable elder brother in her mother's family.

"Your background is not outstanding enough, this old lady really has a high vision." Shuyi used to be the princess who was the only favorite princess in the palace, and she was also the eldest daughter after entering the palace, so how bad is the family that can marry her.How can the Lin family say that their ancestors also had titles, and their master is now a third-class captain of light vehicles.

Lin Daiyu smiled and stopped talking. Although she was a little dissatisfied with the old lady, as a junior, it's better not to say too much.Shuyi also understood, so she changed the subject with a smile: "It's rare for you to come back, I asked someone to cook a lot of your favorite dishes, and I will buy more later."

"Thank you sister-in-law."

After Ning Chun's birthday passed, Tu Qingze went to the Temple of Heaven to pray for rain.It’s just that the heavens didn’t seem to hear his voice. In mid-June, there were only two or three occasions of scattered light rain. The grain fields in the Northeast had begun to crack, and the south of the Yangtze River had also begun to lack water.

After Tu Qingze returned to Beijing, he specially called the envoy of the Qin Tianjian to observe the sky at night. He only said that there must be evil spirits in the abnormal weather. I am afraid that the Fengshui acupoints that have not been changed after the ground breaking of the imperial mausoleum this year caused the stars to shift and the rain was not abundant. .Tu Qingze had no choice but to order the imperial mausoleum to stop working. Sure enough, ten days later, the whole country ushered in the heaviest rainfall this year. Lin Yuxuan was amazed to see it.

The imperial mausoleum was shut down, and the first person who was upset was King Zhongshun.Originally, he went into the palace to mess around with the Supreme Emperor so that the Supreme Emperor would issue an order to restart the construction, but the Supreme Emperor wanted to put the country first, so he refused to allow him, but took advantage of Tu Qingze's coming to pay his respects with all his younger brothers, without losing face at all. Played a lot of temper, according to Tu Qingchen's words, at that time his brother's face was "as black as ink".

"So the two princes escaped here?" Lin Yuxuan looked at the colleagues in the Ministry of Rites who were already very calm and calm, and asked with a forced smile, "Aren't the princes afraid of the emperor's attack?"

This time, Tu Qingzhen not only came alone, but he also brought Tu Qingzhen, the king of Chengjun, with him.Tu Qingxi was a bit introverted, not as straightforward as Tu Qingze. Seeing Lin Yuxuan asking this question, he just smiled and didn't speak.

"I'm here to introduce you to my younger brother." After finishing speaking, he patted Tu Qingxiu on the shoulder.

Lin Yuxuan looked at Prince Cheng whose face was distorted in the photograph, and silently shed tears in his heart.He asked the little eunuch from the Ministry of Rites to bring tea to the two lords, and then said: "Recently, there is a new wine called 'Peach Blossom Pickled' in the Drunken Immortal Tower, is the lord interested in going to taste it with my servant?"

"That's good!" Hearing that there was good wine, Tu Qingchen wished that Lin Yuxuan would leave now.It's just that Lin Yuxuan still had some things to do, so the two made an appointment at Youshi to wait in Zuixianlou.Only then did Tu Qingzhen drag Tu Qingzhen away in satisfaction.

Lin Yuxuan flipped through the mansion newspaper helplessly, really worried that the Prince of Chengjun would be misled by Prince Gong.

"Speaking of it, Sixteenth Brother, I heard that you learned a lot of lessons when you went to pay your respects to the emperor today. What's going on?" Tu Qingchen narrowed his eyes happily. The taste of the wine is very strong, and it is very enjoyable to pair it with the fragrant braised pork.

"I just heard that my father sent a painter to the palace." Tu Qingxi was not very good at drinking, so Lin Yuxuan asked someone to give him a pot of "nuanyutian", which was made of grapes, oranges and plum blossoms. Fruit wine, sweet taste.He only drank two cups and stopped drinking. He put fresh mushrooms and choy sum in the bowl, "It is said that because the painters in the palace failed to paint the charm of Concubine Zhen's mother as a royal concubine, they were drawn by his father and mother." The emperor had a fit."

"There is only a picture of her when she was a noble concubine in the palace, and the painter cannot be blamed." Tu Qingchen said, "It's a pity that the father is still thinking about the noble concubine Wen Dun, and there is nothing I can do."

"Actually, it's not difficult to draw, but the painters in the palace always focus on the color of the picture and the rigorous expressions of the characters, but they can't draw the appearance of Concubine Zhen in the heart of my father." Tu Qingxie said with a gentle smile.

"Speaking of which, the sixteenth brother, you are also proficient in calligraphy and painting, and you really see the point to the point." Tu Qingchen took a sip of his wine, "It's a pity that we sons, in front of the emperor, even one finger of the fourteenth brother Not as good. The day before yesterday I reprimanded the emperor, and yesterday I had a quarrel with the queen mother, I see, it's better for us not to enter the palace to find anger."

The death of Imperial Concubine Wen Dun was more or less related to Tu Qingze, but it might not be because of her deliberately tossing her body.It is understandable that the Supreme Emperor suddenly lost a woman who had been with him for decades, so he had a bad temper.It's just that he has frequent attacks on the emperor and the empress dowager today, which can easily cause King Zhongshun to have thoughts that he shouldn't have.Lin Yuxuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "Since King Cheng sees the painter's problem, why not go to the art gallery to discuss it with the painters, which can be regarded as a little filial piety, and the Supreme Emperor will feel at ease when he sees it." The anger of the Supreme Emperor.

"It's true," Tu Qingchen's eyes flashed brightly, "The imperial physician who asked Father for a safe pulse recently also said that Father is too old to be angry. Now that the sixteenth brother has seen the problem, tell the painters It's good to talk."

"Okay, then brother, let's go to the palace to have a look at the art gallery tomorrow."

Lin Yuxuan and Tu Qingchen looked at each other, and they both toasted and smiled.It's time to do something to divert the Emperor's attention from King Zhongshun. King Chengjun was very fond of the Emperor when he was still a prince, and now it is the best opportunity for him to come forward.The prince who can present the most satisfactory portrait to the Supreme Emperor is the most filial in the Supreme Emperor's heart.
