Ruhai his sister

September is an eventful season in the capital. Prince Qin and Prince Gong made mistakes in their errands one after another, and were reprimanded by the emperor. After that, they had a verbal dispute with Prince Yizhong because of trivial matters. The emperor happened to see it, and it seemed that the brothers were at odds.

This was originally a trivial matter, and it was only put together, but the Yangzhou incident had not yet been fully resolved, and military reports came from the frontier, and Rongdi disturbed the border.The emperor was inevitably in a bad mood, and the punishment became a bit heavier.The previous intention to implicate Lin Huan in marriage also stopped for the time being.

At the beginning of October, the candidate for the magistrate of Yangzhou, which has continued to be controversial, was formally determined.

When Lin Huan knew about it, he raised his eyebrows lightly. King Zhongshun really didn't want to suffer the slightest loss.Even if he helped her temporarily ward off the disaster, he also wanted to make some extra money for himself. Taking this opportunity to kill two birds with one stone, he pulled all the people down and sent his own people to Yangzhou.

Lin Huan sighed, getting along with the fox, it seems that she will have a lot of heart in the future.However, if she wasn't a smart person, how could she be willing to marry him?Bento is just a partner, so he must be able to match her shoulder to shoulder.Thinking about it this way, for King Zhongshun, Lin Huan felt a little more of the sympathy that a wise man sees a wise man.However, thinking of the scene of meeting King Zhongshun twice in the capital of Yangzhou, Lin Huan couldn't help frowning, but in the end he could only sigh.

Days passed by, and it was the end of the year in a blink of an eye.Lin Huan also got busy.Jia Min's belly gradually grew.Lin Huan was worried, and Jia Min also wanted to raise the baby with peace of mind. The power of housekeeping naturally fell on Lin Huan, so the embroidery was delayed.Fortunately, I can also embroider in sevens and eights, so it doesn't matter after the New Year's Eve.

On the 23rd, sacrifice to the stove and stick sugar melons. The 24th is a small year.On the New Year's Eve, when the old year was observed, the people in the whole family distributed rewards, and every household in the capital was beaming with joy.

In the twinkling of an eye, the fifth day passed, perhaps it was a new year, and Rong Di, who disturbed the border, fought a few small battles in the border town, but they didn't get much benefit.The emperor is overjoyed, and the princes will also look at their faces, and take advantage of the New Year's celebrations to stage the deep love between father and son.

During the Shangyuan Festival, Lin Huan was directing the girl to hang lanterns in the yard to guess lantern riddles. Jia Min was lying on a soft couch on one side, watching with a smile while waiting for Lin Ruhai to return home.

Hearing the news from outside, Lin Ruhai was promoted to the second rank doctor of Lantai Temple.Lin Huan's hand holding the lantern lightly paused, and the plot approached step by step...

In the evening, the three had a good time to celebrate. Jia Min was pregnant and was not allowed to drink alcohol, but they had fun with tea instead of wine.After the Shangyuan Festival, the emperor sent a message that the Empress Dowager had her birthday in February and ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to do a big job.

There is a whole life only every ten years, and the queen mother is getting old, so I don't know if there is a second such a whole life.Although the Queen Mother does not

Willing to be extravagant, but the emperor refused.After the incident in Yangzhou, the salt lords stopped for a while, and the new magistrate of Yangzhou did his best and performed well.Rong Di was dismissed, and after several happy events, the emperor also wanted to use the birthday banquet to add luster.

The family members of officials of the third rank and above have also been ordered to enter the palace to have a banquet and celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday.

Jia Min's pregnancy is in the late stage, so it's not easy to run around. Lin Ruhai pleaded guilty. The emperor is in a good mood and doesn't want to embarrass the pregnant woman. Naturally, Jia Min still handed the sign into the palace to thank him, and gave the Queen Mother an early birth. After finishing it, the etiquette is complete, and the emperor is a little more satisfied.

On February 24th, the imperial city was decorated with lanterns and festoons, red silk hung on the branches, and the sky was full of noise.Outside Suzaku's gate, people are bustling with people, and carriages with canopies are piled up.Lin Huan followed Aunt Gu and cousin Zhang Han and got off the car in front of Suzaku's gate, and a eunuch with a sharp voice stepped forward to lead them to the imperial garden.

The emperor held the birthday banquet in the imperial garden, and the family members of the officials came here early to wait.It's just that the time has not arrived, and the Queen Mother will naturally have to rest and will not be there.Officials at the third rank in Beijing said that there are not many, and that there are not many. If every family accepts kowtow one by one, how can the Queen Mother stand it.Therefore, the big guys can only wait in the imperial garden, and bow down after the Queen Mother comes.It's just that the birthday gifts of each family have been respected early.

Everyone was chatting in threes and fives in the Royal Garden, and several concubines in the palace were also chatting and joking with the Queen Mother in the Longevity Palace.What we are talking about is the Queen Mother's birthday gift this time.

At the entrance of the main hall of Yanshou Palace leading to the inner room, there is an embroidered screen carved with peonies in a red sandalwood frame.Double-sided embroidery is a unique skill.One side is painted and embroidered with gold thread to embroider the Diamond Sutra.One side draws a birthday picture of the Five Blessing Boys with silk embroidery thread.Everyone knows that the Empress Dowager must recite the Diamond Sutra every day to worship Buddha.The sunlight shines on the sutra embroidery through the screen window, glowing with golden light, just like the golden body of Buddha.And the Wufu boys, each holds a birthday peach, the silk is bright in color, especially the boy's face, with a bright smile and bright brilliance.Everything is exquisite, and everything is luxurious.

It caught people's eyes just by looking at it, and people had to applaud.

Concubine Shu and the Empress Dowager came from the same family, and the blood relationship is even closer.He had already stood up and walked around the embroidery screen several times, amazed.

"Where did the Empress Dowager get this embroidered screen? It takes a delicate mind and a clever person to embroider it."

From among the piles of congratulatory gifts, the only thing the Empress Dowager could see was this embroidered screen, and it was hard to catch other things when she was caught in the moment.Everyone has a heart for beauty.Such objects are rare and precious, and the double-sided embroidery is also the most suitable for the Empress Dowager.How can the Queen Mother not like it?Busy ordering people put it up.The screen of the previous four seasons flowers was removed.

Hearing envy and praise from others, the Queen Mother became more and more happy, and said: "It was presented by the girl from Mrs. Lin's family. The Ai family remembers that the old lady Lin embroidered a fringe embroidery for the Ai family.

It is also such a double-sided embroidery art.With this kind of technique, now only Miss Lin has gained a bit of authenticity. "

When Lin Huan was mentioned, Concubine Shu immediately thought of the marriage proposal proposed by Prince Gong some time ago.She also said twice in front of the emperor that the emperor already has a heart.But who would have thought that there was trouble in Prince Gong's errand, and it was rumored that the brothers were at odds, so it was shelved.Now, things are over.It was the Empress Dowager's birthday again, and Concubine Shu's thoughts immediately changed.Even Concubine Zhen was a little more lively.

Concubine Shu sat on the chair first on the left of the Empress Dowager, and said with a smile, "It's the fringe embroidery that the Empress Dowager loves so much? Weidao looked at this embroidered screen familiarly, but didn't remember it for a while. It turned out to be Madam Hou's." Daughter."

Concubine Shu opened the conversation, Concubine Zhen Gui naturally took over, and the two of them were each holding their own careful thoughts to lead the conversation forward.But an eunuch outside sang in unison, "The emperor is here!"

Concubine Shu and Concubine Zhen stopped talking, and were about to stand up to meet each other, when the emperor walked in with great strides.Everyone was in a hurry to salute.The emperor excused him, and paid homage to the queen mother for her birthday.After taking their seats, everyone returned to their seats.

The two giants are at the top.Concubine Zhen got the first chair on the right, followed by Concubine Xian.Concubine Shu's seat remains unchanged, followed by Concubine De.

After the empress passed away, the four concubines took the lead in the palace.Among the four concubines, Concubine Zhen is the most favored.The second is Concubine Shu and Concubine Xian.Only concubine De, because she was the first batch of people who were selected to serve the emperor in the palace, got the concubine position.However, it is becoming weaker in terms of grace and grace.Concubine Zhide gave birth to the second prince and the seventh prince in her early years, but they all died without being able to support her.Because of this, Concubine De saw more clearly, and became less interested in these fights.Everyone knows that Concubine De always likes to be quiet, and she has become an invisible person in the palace.Do not attend on non-big occasions.Because of her carelessness, the other three concubines competed for beauty and did not pay attention to her.

"I don't know what the concubines are talking about. I can only hear that you are full of praise."

The emperor has spoken, how dare he not answer.Moreover, the emperor's opening brought up the topic, which just matched the wishes of Concubine Zhen and Concubine Shu.Concubine Zhen pointed to the embroidered screen, pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Look at this screen, Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's hard to find another one with such craftsmanship in our Great Zhou Dynasty. Should the Majesty praise it?"

Concubine Shu immediately answered: "The emperor doesn't know, but it was embroidered by a girl who was not as old as Ji. I heard that the Lin family has a scholarly family. The two masters of the Lin family are both heroes of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Moreover, Miss Lin's elder brother is still alive today. I am working for the emperor. The concubine is very curious, and really wants to see how dexterous Miss Lin is."

The Empress Dowager didn't know what Concubine Shu meant by this move, but she was happy to help, "It's not easy. The girl from the Lin family must have arrived in the palace now. Little Fuzi!" , stepped forward to obey orders. "You go to the Royal Garden and bring the girl from the Lin family over."

The queen mother summoned her and had to go.Both Aunt Gu and Zhang Han were a little worried.Lin Huan breathed a sigh of relief.She waited and finally came.From his sleeve, he took out the sachet with gold and silver nudes that he had prepared earlier and handed it to the eunuch Xiao Fuzi who sent the message.Xiao Fuzi weighed the weight and put it in his arms with satisfaction.Only then did he step up and lead Lin Huan to Yanshou Palace.

Into the hall.Lin Huan saluted all the masters one by one.He also paid homage to the Queen Mother.Concubine Shu pulled Lin Huan over earlier than Concubine Zhen, "Look, what a beautiful girl. It's pleasing to look at, no wonder you can make such delicate things."

The emperor took a sip of tea, "You embroidered this screen yourself."

Lin Huan hurriedly bowed and replied: "Return to the emperor's words. It was embroidered by the women of the people."

The emperor smiled, "You don't need to be nervous, and you don't need to be so cautious. I just asked the last question. I remember, when you were young, I seemed to have seen you once."

"When Minnv was five years old, the Duanyang Festival was held in the palace, and she went to the palace with her mother. I was lucky enough to meet the Holy Majesty and the Queen Mother once."

The emperor nodded slightly, turned his head to look at the embroidered screen, the neat and elegant Diamond Sutra, with charming and vigorous characters.The strokes are smooth, and the turning points are completed in one go, as graceful as a dragon, graceful as a dragon.It is not as elegant and quiet as a girl's hairpin lower script written by ordinary boudoir women.

The emperor's eyes were erratic and deep, as if looking into the distance through the embroidered screen, he didn't speak for a while.The noble masters also dare not open their mouths.The atmosphere in the hall instantly cooled down.
