The eldest son of the concubine who crossed the red mansion

"This year's drought was long enough. Thanks to my father's visit to the Temple of Heaven to pray for rain and blessings, it finally rained. Otherwise, I don't know how long the drought will last." Shuyi gave the two children a jade fan Fanning the wind, "Nurse Yu, ask the kitchen staff to make some bowls of sour plum soup, and pay attention not to put too much ice in the two bowls for the girl and brother."

"Fortunately, it's raining, and the second wave of harvest is still available. The emperor has issued a decree to exempt taxes in the Jiangnan area, and this year's drought is finally over." The temperature in the room is considered cold, after all, there are still ice cubes.Lin Yuxuan highlighted Yuyan's mistakes in homework and said.Yuyan was Wei'er's first name. Lin Yuxuan and Shuyi seldom mentioned his nickname after he turned four years old, and now all the servants in the mansion call him "Brother Yan".

"It's hot, you should be more careful when you go out. When my son went to pay his respects to the mother, I heard that Concubine Xiande was just walking in the small garden in his palace, and she also suffered from heat stroke. The imperial doctor persuaded her not to go out, and stayed in the bedroom every day." Shuyi handed the fan in her hand to Ning Chun, "This virtuous concubine's body has deteriorated since she gave birth, and she hasn't recovered yet. The queen mother I mean, even if it's the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, I don't need her to attend."

Lin Yuxuan raised his eyebrows, and asked something irrelevant: "Is the princess still raised by the side of Concubine Xiande?"

"No, Concubine Xiande's body is unreliable. The emperor has already asked someone to send the younger sister to the queen mother. I also went to see her. She looks quite fat and doesn't look like she was born prematurely."

"It's good to have a queen to take care of you." Lin Yuxuan took a sip of the sour plum soup that was just delivered, "It's still hot these days, so you should rest in the room more, and be careful to fall ill like Concubine Xiande, that's not good .”

"I know, the queen mother also said that my father will go to the palace to escape the summer heat soon, so we don't have to go to the palace to pay my respects for the time being." Shuyi said, "It's rare to see my father go to the palace in recent years, but I don't want to go this year. I I remember that the Wutong Terrace in the palace was built on the water, and it is an excellent place to enjoy the shade."

"Your Majesty is going to the palace to escape the summer heat. Presumably the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager will also be invited to go." Lin Yuxuan said, "It's just that the Empress Dowager's health has not been in good shape recently, and he will probably be tired again."

"It is precisely because of the poor health of the emperor's grandfather that the emperor thought of going to escape the summer heat. The emperor's grandfather is also getting old, and he can't stand the sweltering heat in central Beijing. It is better to live in the palace. I heard that the emperor's grandfather also has this idea, If you want to live in the palace forever, Grandma Huang and several noble concubines and concubines will accompany you."

Lin Yuxuan nodded.If the Supreme Emperor really had this intention, then King Zhongshun's backing would be completely gone.

"Is the emperor's dragon chariot out of the palace?" Jia Yuanchun leaned his head on the honey-color big welcoming pillow and asked after coughing twice.

"Yes, I guess Yujia has arrived outside the capital right now." Yun Yi brought the medicinal soup, "This is a new prescription for the empress from the imperial hospital, the empress should drink it."

"What's the use of the new prescription? It won't get better after drinking it. It's better not to drink it." Jia Yuanchun's face was pale, and there was no blood on her lips. She never thought that she just walked a few steps under the sun Lu, actually made himself so sick.What made her even more sad was that the emperor had never set foot in the Fengzao Palace since she fell ill. Even Chong Xing and Jia's family had to be carried to the Taizheng Palace.

"Your Majesty, don't talk nonsense. Your Majesty is not in good health, and the imperial physician probably doesn't want to prescribe heavy medicines to treat her. Now it's just a slow cure. After a while, your Majesty will definitely get better." Yun Yi comforted Jia Yuanchun and served Jia Yuanchun. After drinking the medicine, he said, "The most important thing for your empress now is to find a way to take care of your body so that you can keep the emperor's heart."

"The emperor's heart has never been with me, so what's the use of trying to keep it?" Jia Yuanchun choked up, "I worked so hard to give birth to a princess for the emperor, but in the end she was taken away by the emperor and given to the empress. The noble concubine of this palace is still not worthy of her name after all."

"Your Majesty, you are overthinking. The Emperor is only thinking about your Majesty." Yun Yi stepped forward to tuck Jia Yuanchun in the quilt, "The princess is only kept by the Empress's side for a while, and in the end, she is going to return to your Majesty. "

Jia Yuanchun gave a bleak smile, shook his head and stopped talking.How she got sick is only clear to her. If it wasn't for the emperor's favor, how could she have deliberately waited for the emperor on the way to Fengyi Palace regardless of her frail body, but she didn't want the emperor not to wait, but she waited out? I'm sick.

Now the emperor took most of the concubines in the palace to the palace, only she and Yu Guiren who are still in confinement are still there, even Jia Tanchun, a woman who can no longer give birth to children, can go with her, isn't it obvious that the emperor Do you actually not like her at all?Jia Yuanchun really lost his mind, and for the rest of his life, he would probably have to die in the palace.

She coughed a few times, and seeing Yun Yan busy finding another quilt for her, the desolation in her heart spread unknowingly to her whole body.

"It is said that 'heroes are saddened by beauty', this is true. I have a relative who is in charge of Prince Zhongshun's mansion. He told me that Prince Zhongshun's mansion is very lively now. The prince is doing it for one of his singers. , It actually caused someone to break the tendons of a concubine, and that concubine a few months ago was still the most loyal and obedient prince."

Lin Yuxuan walked into a restaurant to drink tea occasionally, and didn't intend to ask for a cubicle. He just sat in the lobby, but he didn't want to hear gossip from Zhongshun Prince's mansion.

Around the speaker were all drinkers, taking advantage of the high drink, they coaxed: "I didn't expect Prince Zhongshun to be so romantic!"

"That's right. I've heard of that concubine too. Isn't it the dancer from Liyuan? I heard it's called Jiaoniang? I was lucky enough to meet her, she's a beauty!"

"Where is such a vulgar name, Lord Zhongshun called her 'Lan'er'." The person who started at the beginning said first, "It's a pity that this beautiful lady is suffering from a strange disease, and the skin on her body begins to swell and fester. Even the imperial physicians in the palace can't heal her. A woman with good complexion, Saixue, just fell out of favor in the back residence of the palace."

"After all, she is just a dancer, so she has a higher status than that new favorite? Both of them are just half-hearted. Besides, Prince Zhongshun is the younger brother of His Majesty today. How many women do you want? There are probably dozens of these singers and dancers in the mansion. Woolen cloth."

Lin Yuxuan secretly nodded in agreement.Indeed, since the Zhen Lan incident, the emperor has used various methods to fill the Zhongshun Palace with women from time to time.Now King Zhongshun can be regarded as addicted to the gentleness and can't wake up.Seeing this, Princess Zhongshun also gave up her heart, and after arranging her son's marriage, she lived alone in the main courtyard and prayed to Buddha.

"I'm afraid this loyal and obedient prince will not be successful." Lin Hui said in a low voice as he listened.

"At first, King Zhongshun was not a person of great wisdom. The reason why he was so powerful before was that there was a concubine Zhengui in the palace and the Zhen family supported him outside the palace. Now that the concubine Zhengui is gone, the Zhen family has also collapsed. Even the Supreme Emperor He also gave up his own son, so what else could he have in mind." Lin Yuxuan poured a glass of wine, "Sit down too, since we came to the capital, you never dined with me again."

"That's what my father said, uncle should have the rules of uncle." Lin Hui giggled, sat down and poured himself a glass of wine, "I also miss the days when I was the uncle's companion to study with the uncle Woolen cloth."

"Accounting the time, so many years have passed." Lin Yuxuan calculated in his heart, since he crossed over to the present, it has been more than [-] years. He sighed, but it caused Lin Hui to give an inexplicable look. .Lin Yuxuan shook his head and drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.

Zhongshun Palace has indeed been full of splendor recently.The women that Tu Qingze sent to Tu Qingxi's mansion were all selected one in a million, some were knowledgeable and sensible, some were as charming as water, and Tu Qingxi was fascinated by all kinds of charms. How could he remember his so-called cousin Zhen Lan?Now all the concubines, singers and dancers in the mansion are trying their best to win the prince's heart. Zhen Lan, a sick child, can only spend her days in a small room in the backyard.

"My lord is free today." Lin Yuxuan ordered someone to serve iced watermelon and plum soup. "The news about Zhongshun Prince's mansion has been spread all over the street. Didn't your lord explain it clearly to the emperor?"

"So what if it's clear, can these rotten things in the Fourteenth Brother's House be covered up? As long as it doesn't spread that you invited a dancer to be a side concubine, then it doesn't matter much." Tu Qingchen took a bite Ice-cold watermelon, "It's a hot day, and the emperor went to escape the heat, so I can only stay in the palace to keep warm."

"Why doesn't your lord ask for orders to follow?"

"Brother Huang went with his father and mother, and brought a lot of concubines with him. What am I going to do? Why don't I come to drink with you every day when I'm free, or read books and listen to plays in the palace." Tu Qing Chen said, "Anyway, now that the emperor's decree is only five days old, I will go to court early in the morning, so I am happy to have a leisurely time."

"But isn't the prince still in charge of the House of Internal Affairs? Although most of the concubines and concubines have left in the palace, Concubine Xiande from Fengzao Palace, Lady Yu from the side hall of Xiaoyuan Palace, and a few others promised to be in the palace. I should go and take care of it." Lin Yuxuan narrowed his eyes and smiled.

"With the stewards below watching, why should I worry about it. Besides, the Xiande concubine looks crookedly ill now. Everyone in the Tai Hospital has said that she can only do her best and obey the destiny, and she is slowly recuperating."

Lin Yuxuan smiled and ate a mouthful of melon and fruit, but he understood it in his heart.Jia Yuanchun seems to be very beautiful now, but in the emperor's heart, he might not even be as good as a small promise.It's ridiculous that the Jia family still doesn't understand that they really think of themselves as relatives of the emperor, acting arrogantly and domineeringly, but they don't want to end up in ruins in the future.
