Ruhai his sister
Chapter 50 (1)
Mother Wang watched, and hurriedly stepped forward to help Lin Huan. Lin Huan is now pregnant, but there is nothing wrong with it.
"Princess, don't be in a hurry. Fortunately, the maidservant went in time and was rescued." I complained in my heart that I was flustered for a while, and I didn't speak clearly, which made Lin Huan terrified.
Lin Huanlue settled down, "Who else knows about this matter?"
"Mother Song's story can't be spread, how could the servants not know about it. They didn't dare to shout. They only called Qing Qiong to stay in Mother Song's room to watch. They also asked Liu Ying and Zhu Li to watch outside, so they came here Report to the princess."
Lin Huan nodded, and rushed to the garden of the palace with Ms. Wang.
On the east side of the inner garden of the palace, a tower and green bamboo hut were built near the water.The upper and lower floors are very elegant.Also cool in summer.It was designed by Tu Mingyan himself at the beginning of the establishment of the mansion, that princes and princes are not allowed to leave Beijing at will.It is also a foresight to do this in the Ming proverb. The bamboo building is facing the water, and the lotus pond is behind it.The outside of the building is lush with shrubs and flowers, providing shade and shelter.In order to have a place to escape the heat in summer.It can be seen that Tu Mingyan is also a master who knows how to enjoy life.As long as there are conditions, I will never treat myself half a point.
Although the bamboo building is cool and refreshing, it is a bit too cold for the elderly, such as Song's mother.There is also a wooden house on the west side of the garden.The design is also exquisite, not only covered with tree shade, but also built a fire wall and earth dragon.Mother Song lived here.Thinking that Song's mother is getting older, she has suffered a lot in the palace, and she has suffered from some illnesses.After Lin Huan got started with the trivial matters in the house, no matter how big or small, he never disturbed Song's mother easily.Mother Song didn't have the right to read.An Xin retreated.
Even so, no one in the mansion dared to underestimate Mama Song.Tu Mingyan always asks about Mother Song's situation every day, or buys some food for Lin Huan outside, and he doesn't forget to bring some to Mother Song.Every once in a while, I also went to visit Mama Song's hut, and sent two maids to take care of Mama Song.
Looking at the entire Great Zhou, whose servants have the face of Mother Song?Mother Song seems to be half the master of the house.
From this, one can also imagine what kind of life Tu Mingyan lived during those days of struggling in the palace, and what kind of sacrifices and efforts Mother Song must have made here.
Lin Huan sighed and stepped into the wooden house.Mother Song was lying on the bed with her eyes closed tightly, her complexion was a little pale and haggard, but she did not have the "golden paper face" of a dying person, and her lips did not appear dark purple or cyanotic.Lin Huan lost his breath.
Qing Qiong was taking care of her, and the two maids serving Song's mother knelt by the bed and wept in a low voice. The whimpering sound made Lin Huan even more anxious.
"Why are you crying? You know how to cry now! Where did everyone go when Song's mother had an accident?"
When the two little girls heard the scolding, they trembled in fright. When they turned around and saw that it was Lin Huan, they were even more afraid to speak out.
Lin Huan didn't bother to talk to them any more, and asked Qing Qiong, "What's the matter?" while checking on Song's mother.Lin Huan didn't know medical skills, so he could feel it. Although Song's mother's pulse was a little weak, it was still stable.One breath and one breath are also regular.The hanging heart dropped more than half.
"Fortunately, Ms. Wang came here by coincidence and found it in time. She was rescued. She has been relieved. She just hasn't woken up yet."
Qingqiong crushed the medicine and melted it in a tea bowl, but Mother Song's teeth were closed tightly, and the medicine juice couldn't get in at all, and it all flowed down the corner of her mouth.Qing Qiong tried to pry her mouth several times, but there was nothing she could do.
Lin Huan was so angry that he snatched the tea bowl from Qing Qiong's hand and smashed it on the ground.Song's mother is determined to die, and she doesn't want to live.
Not to mention the two little girls in the room, even Qing Qiong was shocked.
"Since Mother Song refuses to take the medicine, that's all. At worst, wrap her body in a roll of mats and let everyone in the mansion be buried with her!"
Lin Huan's harsh words were thrown out, and Song's mother's eyelashes moved slightly.One eye still didn't open.But at least it proved that she could hear it.Just don't want to wake up, don't want to wake up.I wish I was dead.
Lin Huan took a few deep breaths, calmed down his anger, sat on the edge of the bed, approached Mama Song and said, "Mother Song, why bother? Is there no other way to solve this big problem? I know that Mama Song is afraid that things will come out. Injured the prince. But, did Mother Song think that it would be over once she died?
Has Mother Song ever thought about it, if someone insists on picking the bone in the egg, find the thorn.Naturally, it can also be said that in order not to implicate himself, the prince ordered a killer to force this shit pot on the prince's head?
There is no need to have any evidence, as long as the words are reasonable, if you find a few people to make a big show, you will not be able to convict the prince.But there are so many mouths in the world, how can the prince stop it? "
Mother Song clenched her teeth, and her whole body began to shake.Lin Huan called Qingqiong to remelt the pills and fed them to Song's mother.This time, Mother Song did not resist.After a bowl of medicine was safely swallowed, Lin Huan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Princess, don't worry, this is an emergency medicine that is always prepared in the palace. The medicine is very effective. Mama Song is fine. I think she will wake up soon." Qing Qiong comforted her, and Lin Huan nodded. Nodding, I saw Tu Mingyan striding in.His face was full of anxiety.
Tu Mingyan was originally an idle prince. He made great contributions to the Yangzhou incident, and seeing that he was married and had a family, he had established a family. The emperor threw him to the Ministry of War and took up a moderate official position.
No matter how big or small the official position is, just because of Tu Mingyan's status as a loyal and obedient king, the people in the military department can only make offerings like bodhisattvas, and dare not work on ordinary things.So going to the yamen is just a matter of going to the yamen every day, drinking tea leisurely, playing chess, and staying until the time to go down to the yamen.
Lin Huan was diagnosed with pregnancy today.Anan excitedly ran over to announce the good news.It wasn't time to go to the Yamen at first, but Ming Yan saw that there was nothing to do left and right, so he left a little earlier.But just halfway there, he met Ah Bei who was sent by Lin Huan to report about Song's mother.
He only heard the phrase "Mother Song committed suicide", her face remained unchanged, and the smiles that were full of having children just now disappeared in an instant.Ah Bei didn't know the basics, he couldn't ask around why, and he didn't know what happened to Song's mother now. It was only clear that the proverb was in the fog, and he was confused when he heard it, and he became more and more anxious.Unable to wait for the carriage, he cut off the reins on the horse's neck and rode to the mansion.
As soon as Fang entered the door, he saw Mama Song lying on the bed with a pale face. She walked two steps quickly and came to the bed. She saw that Mama Song was no longer as radiant as before. , but none of the doctors saw it, and frowned. Hearing the unbearable cries of the two little girls, he felt more and more depressed, and kicked them over, "Why are you crying! Let you take good care of me, what do you take care of?" Appearance! Hurry up and call for a doctor!" Turning around, he hurriedly called Anan again.
Lin Huan hurriedly stopped him, "My lord! I can't invite a doctor!"
Tu Mingyan opened his eyes wide and looked at Lin Huan in disbelief. Lin Huan had never seen a coldness in his eyes, "What did you say?" As he spoke, he shook his hand and pulled Lin Huan The right arm was drawn out.
Tu Mingyan's blow was a bit strong, and it was too sudden. Lin Huan didn't expect it. He leaned back and was about to hit the corner of the table.Tu Mingyan was taken aback. He was in a panic, but he didn't expect this to happen. He stretched out his hand to pull, but he only grabbed the corner of Lin Huan's sleeve. The proverb slipped through the fingers.
Fortunately, Qing Qiong had been standing by Lin Huan's side all the time, with sharp eyesight and quick hands, she hugged Lin Huan, and protected Lin Huan with her body in front of the table.
Tu Mingyan heaved a sigh of relief.Lin Huan came to his senses, took two steps forward, bowed his head and bowed his knees to Tu Mingyan, "I don't know if the prince has a doctor he knows well, he has a good mouth, and he doesn't talk too much. Please come and show it to Mother Song." It's good to see."
Tu Mingyan was slightly astonished, even when Lin Huan was just married, Lin Huan was respectful to him in everything, but he never made a big gift.And it's only a few sentences, but there is alienation everywhere.
"I..." Tu Mingyan wanted to explain, but he only uttered one word, but Lin Huan robbed him: "Don't worry too much, Mr. Song. Mother Song has already taken the medicine, and everything is stable. It must take a while Then he will wake up. The prince has a good talk with Song's mother, and persuades and persuades Song's mother."
As he spoke, he ignored what Tu Mingyan was thinking, and led a group of servants out of the house without looking back.Only Tu Mingyan stood in the middle of the room in a daze, staring blankly at the right hand raised in mid-air.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Mama Wang glanced at Lin Huan who was lying on the imperial concubine's couch beside her. Although her eyes were closed, everyone in the room, whether it was Mama Wang or Qingqiong Zhuli, knew that Lin Huan was not asleep.But no one dared to disturb her.In other words, Tu Mingyan didn't do it on purpose, and he really can't be blamed on Tu Mingyan.Only... Mother Wang felt a chill down her back when she thought that if it wasn't Qing Qiong, or Lin Huan bumped into the sharp table corner, and Lin Huan was still pregnant, she felt a chill in her back and was terrified.
Thinking of this, Ms. Wang felt a little annoyed.You said that it was not good for Mother Song to have an accident, but it was at this time.Lin Huan was happy to be diagnosed, and the mansion was happy, but this kind of thing happened.
Nian Shao boiled the medicine and brought it in, Madam Wang suppressed her anger, took the medicine bowl, and called "Prince Wang" a few times.
Lin Huan opened his eyes slightly.
"This is an anti-fetal medicine. The princess will rest after drinking the medicine."
Lin Huan took the medicine bowl, no matter whether it was bitter or not, he raised his head and drank it, rinsed his mouth, and then said: "The two girls beside Song's mother should also send someone to take a good look at it. I'm afraid the foot is not light, so don't kick it badly. Someone went to the pharmacy to grab a few doses of medicine. Mama Song valued friendship. Those two girls also waited on her for a while. I'm afraid they have taken it to heart. If the two of them If something happens, Mother Song will be sad too.
Although the two girls didn't have any opinions, fortunately, they were considerate to Song's mother.And the mouth is also strict, will not spread this matter.That's all, that's all.Just keep it and take care of Mother Song. "
Mama Wang nodded in agreement.Lin Huan got up again and rummaged through the spare medicine for bruises, pulled Qingqiong, and said with a smile: "Good girl, today is thanks to you! Let me see how your injury is, and I will rub it for you. "
"Your servant is fine." Qing Qiong just lowered her head, refusing to take off her clothes for Lin Huan to see.
Lin Huan raised his eyebrows, "What? Do you think I can't apply medicine or serve people?"
Qing Qiong was startled.Zhu Li stepped forward, snatched the wound medicine from Lin Huan's hand, and cast a blessing on her body, "Princess said that she is the only one who cares about Sister Qingqiong? Could it be that we don't care after growing up with each other? Don't worry, the princess. When I go back, I will rub it on Sister Qingqiong. Such a good wound medicine is rare. I will thank Sister Qingqiong for being here."
He spoke briskly and laughed playfully, dispelling the oppressive and heavy atmosphere in the room a lot.Lin Huan couldn't help but smile, and didn't insist anymore.Although Qing Qiong is calm, she is also too cautious, she usually jokes in front of her like Zhu Li, and won't make any noise, how could she agree to let her take medicine now?He just pursed his lips and said: "You said that. Then I will hand over Qing Qiong to you. I will see a good Qing Qiong tomorrow."
Zhu Li promised with all her mouth: "Princess, don't worry!"
After this question and answer, Lin Huan was in a much happier mood.
Mama Wang hesitated again and again, but still stepped forward to persuade: "Wangfei, Wangye..."
Just started talking, Lin Huan interrupted, "What time is it?"
Mama Wang sighed, and looked at the dark sky outside, "It's about a quarter of an hour away."
Lin Huan let out an "oh", waved his hand and said, "lock it!"
☆, 51
Mother Wang was taken aback, "Locked? The prince hasn't come back yet?"
Lin Huan's eyeballs moved, "My lord won't be sleeping in this courtyard tonight."
If you don't sleep in this courtyard, where will you sleep?Although usually the mistress is pregnant and is inconvenient, it is necessary to arrange a housekeeper to serve her.But Lin Huan had just been diagnosed with pregnancy.Even if it is to be arranged, it is not something that will happen in a short while.What's more, I have never heard of Lin Huan's meaning before.And beside the prince, there were originally two girls, Chunhuaqiuyue, but later they were sent to take care of the two nuns bestowed by the palace.Although a few more maids have been brought in, they are not very welcomed by the prince.
Mother Wang stomped her feet anxiously. Isn't Lin Huan deliberately creating opportunities for others?Even showing generosity is not such a virtuous way.If you really want to arrange people, you should choose those who know the basics and can control them.
The prince didn't do it on purpose today, how could he let his temper and fight with the prince?
Mother Wang pursed her lips, frowned and wanted to persuade her again, but Lin Huan had already entered the inner room by herself.Qing Qiong and Zhu Li looked at each other, they didn't know what to do, so they came to seek Madam Wang's advice.
Mother Wang sighed, "It's not like you don't know the temper of the princess. If you become stubborn, ten cows will not be able to pull it back. You go in and serve the princess and rest. The princess is pregnant now, so don't be too tired .I'll go and explain to the woman who guards the door."
Although it is the rule of the palace, if you lock it, you have to wait until the next morning to open it.Only rules are dead, but people are alive.And it's just a proverb that the prince is the biggest in the entire palace, if he really wants to come into the courtyard, can the lady guarding the gate not open the door?
Tu Mingyan looked at the closed Zhumen from afar, and felt as if he had been hit hard by something, and felt as if a piece had been pulled out by someone, which was very unpleasant.
I don't know what Lin Huan is doing now, what he had for dinner, how is he doing now, how is the child.Have you ever taken medicine?The small ebony box in his bosom was pressed against his chest. Even through the underwear, it still felt like it was on fire, and it was hot.
Across the vermilion gate, Tu Mingyan was just thinking wildly, neither advancing nor retreating.After standing in a daze for a quarter of an hour, Anan couldn't stand it any longer. He stepped forward and said softly, "Why don't the servants knock on the door. There is a woman watching the night at the door. When you see the prince, why don't you open it?" .”
Tu Mingyan was silent for a while, and couldn't help but want to agree several times. He only thought about the success news from Sichuan, and his thoughts were suppressed again. He waved to Anan: "Go down and rest!"
Lin Huan turned over, turned over again, tossed and turned several times, but still couldn't fall asleep.He stroked the bed beside him inch by inch.The seat where Tu Mingyan used to lie down was now empty, as if his heart had also been left empty, with nowhere to go.I remember that when she first got married, she was not used to sleeping with more people beside her, and she was always alienated and guarded every night.But now, it's only two months, when will it start, and when will it start.This kind of unaccustomedness has become a habit in the day-to-day getting along, and it suddenly disappeared, but I feel very uncomfortable.
I don't know how long it has passed, but there is a faint scent of osmanthus, which is fresh and elegant, and it seems to be mixed with a heavy panting.It made Lin Huan inexplicably feel comfortable and at ease, but also fell asleep in a daze.
In the early morning of the second day, as soon as he turned over and got up, he saw the box on the bed table, made of ebony wood, with several emerald gemstones inlaid on the edge.Open it, and there are a dozen candied fruit neatly placed inside.Twist one and put it in your mouth, it is soft and glutinous, sweet but not greasy.Lin Huan closed the lid and took a closer look, only to see the small and inconspicuous Suxiangzhai mark on the lower right corner of the box.
Suxiangzhai is a famous restaurant in Beijing.I don't know where the pastry chef was hired, his unique skill is unmatched by anyone, even the imperial chef in Neng Palace may be inferior by three points.However, Suxiangzhai only deals in sweet fruit cakes, and all kinds of fruits are not only well-made in color, fragrance, but also elegantly packaged.For example, the one she has now.In the Great Zhou Dynasty, candied fruit was packaged and sold in ebony boxes inlaid with gemstones. I am afraid that this is the only one, and there is no other semicolon.
Lin Huan curled his lips. Such a demeanor was nothing more than pretending to show face, so as to improve the quality of eating fruit.With just this trick, the price of candied fruit, which was so ordinary, became sky-high in an instant.Even so, there are still many dignitaries in the capital rushing to buy them.
But Suxiangzhai's fresh fruit is limited every day, and it is the hardest thing to find, and now it is even more difficult to find.
This Suxiangzhai was originally the dowry shop of Mrs. Wei's wife.And this Mr. Wei was the disciple and subordinate of Chen Guogong who had surrendered himself before and took full responsibility for the fraudulent imperial examination case, thus exonerating the Chen family.
Because of Wei Da's incident, he was sentenced to be the queen of autumn.Although her family was not implicated, Madam Wei still had no mood to run the shop.It was closed early in the morning.In other words, now in the capital, the Suxiangzhai's Shiguo should be extinct, and I don't know how Tu Mingyan found such a way to get such a box.
Lin Huan stuffed the box under the pillow.Qing Qiong stepped forward to help her change her clothes.Then I heard Zhu Li on the other side scolding the girl at the door: "Which of you stole the snacks on the table? The master didn't say to reward you, so you can take it randomly?"
The little girls only cowardly said they dared not, never.
"Still saying no! There was still a plate last night, look now, look at the half piece, there are still teeth marks on it? Don't try to fool me. The princess rinsed her mouth before going to bed, but never Eat again."
Qing Qiong frowned and looked at Lin Huan, then hurriedly turned around and went out, pulling Zhu Li, "Okay! It's early in the morning, what's the matter! Isn't it just a plate of dim sum?"
Zhu Li just didn't let go, "If you dare to take snacks today, you will dare to steal other things tomorrow!"
Seeing her like this, Qing Qiong hurriedly waved the little girl away, and dragged Zhu Li into the room.But Zhu Li kept talking.Lin Huan smiled and lifted the curtain and came out, "There are only a few people who can enter my room. There are no such people. Maybe they were eaten by mice. Zhu Li, forget it!"
Where did the rats come from in the palace?Even if there are one or two in a remote corner, how could they appear in the princess's room?When the maids and women who clean up the yard are all free to eat?
Regarding Lin Huan's explanation, Zhu Li pursed her lips, not believing it at all, seeing what Lin Huan had said, it was inconvenient to pursue it further.
Had breakfast.Lin Huan moved a chair to enjoy the shade in the yard.The courtyard wall is a bit high, and most of the wind is blocked, and it is not easy to blow in.Only when Lin Huan was pregnant, Mother Wang warned and exhorted her in every possible way, not to be caught in the cold wind, so the breeze was just right.
In the southeast corner of the courtyard wall, there are several osmanthus trees, with crooked branches extending through the courtyard wall into the courtyard.It is said that August osmanthus is fragrant.But now, it is only July, but it has already bloomed.Once the breeze passed, occasionally a few fragmented petals fluttered and fell down.Take a sniff, you can smell a burst of fragrance, refreshing.
Lin Huan was in a good mood immediately, and couldn't help laughing.
After several days like this, Tu Mingyan became more and more busy because there were always good news from Sichuan, and a complete victory was just around the corner.Go out early and return late every day.It was getting dark, and it was rare to see people.In contrast, Lin Huan is very leisurely.Eat, sleep, walk, and play every day.After Xu time, he ordered people to lock up, regardless of whether Tu Mingyan returned to the house or not.When I wake up every day, there will always be some gadgets, or food, or toys beside the bed.But these are known to no one except Qing Qiong who is on duty every night.
A few days ago, Ms. Wang was thinking about the newlyweds, and she occasionally had a quarrel, which was just for fun. Afterwards, she would just give in to the prince.Seeing Lin Huan's posture, he became more and more anxious.Tu Mingyan couldn't get in, put on airs and refused to coax, Lin Huan became more and more unwilling to bow his head first.The two fell into a deadlock for a while.After so many back and forth, Tu Mingyan also lost his patience, and went to the Golan courtyard to have fun again.Seeing this, Wang Mama persuaded her a few times, but Lin Huan just talked about it left and right, with a sigh of relief in her heart, and she refused to pay attention to Tu Mingyan more and more.
Mother Wang stomped her feet in anger, but there was nothing she could do.
July 23.Another good news from Sichuan.The Sichuan General Soldier killed the leader of the Eighteen Villages.Among the other eighteen village owners, seven were captured alive, four were killed in battle, and five were seriously injured.The Yi people were defeated.
In Yanshou Palace, the Empress Dowager left Concubine Shu alone to gossip.Concubine Shu said with a smile: "Our Chen Clan General Assembly also felt elated once. With this military merit, I would like to see how dare the people who insisted on the imperial examination and crushed our Chen Clan into the dirt back then furious!"
The Empress Dowager frowned slightly, "They are all doing things for the court and the emperor. You can't say these words indiscriminately." Although it was a reprimand, the tone was mild and joyful, and it was obvious that she was generally complacent.
Concubine Shu raised her eyebrows, "Isn't this in front of my aunt? Outside, I wouldn't say it!"
The queen mother only gave birth to the emperor's son, no princess.Concubine Shu often went to the palace to accompany the queen mother since she was a child, especially after the emperor ascended the throne, she often lived in the palace for a while.Later, she was selected as the empress concubine, and she had a very close relationship with the queen mother, and there was no outsider, so she was not called "the queen mother", but "aunt".
The queen mother looked at Concubine Shu's appearance and scolded with a smile: "A person in his decades! My son has married a wife and given birth to a child. Why is he still like this when he was a child? He used to act like a spoiled child."
Concubine Shu went forward and squeezed on a soft couch with the Queen Mother, took the Queen Mother's hand, and said, "In the eyes of my aunt, am I not always a child? I still have to rely on my aunt to help me! Protect me!"
The queen mother smiled and said: "Silly boy. In this harem, you and I are the only one family. If I don't help you, who else can I help?" She sighed and said with emotion, "The emperor has become more and more harmonious these years. I'm born. Fortunately, you often come to accompany me and talk to me."
"Don't be sad, aunt. The emperor is a filial son. It's just that there are too many things in the court, and there are always some troubles. Why is it that you are separated from the aunt? You are the emperor's biological mother. Why does the emperor not kiss you?" of?"
Everyone knew that it was just an official word for face, but the queen mother was still very relieved.
Another mammy came forward and whispered a few words, and handed a secret letter to the Queen Mother.The Queen Mother felt better after seeing it.Concubine Shu was curious and leaned over to have a look.
The Empress Dowager patted her with a smile, and said: "It's about Laojiu's mansion. It is said that Laojiu met a woman on the street, saw her right, and bought it and brought it back to the mansion." She sighed again. Shaking his head, "Lao Jiu still has this temperament. I thought that he would restrain himself after getting married, but I didn't expect that he is still like this."
Concubine Shu snorted, and said: "If you want me to say, I also blame Lao Jiu's wife for this matter, after all, she has no parents to raise her. At the wedding, seeing that Lao Jiu gave her some color and treated her better, she would Be frivolous. I heard that Lao Jiu was still running around the yard with her in his arms.
Although they are serious couples and newlyweds, they still have to be careful.It's too ostentatious like this. I don't think she has learned the bit of restraint that a woman should have.Not only did he not feel indecent, but he became self-satisfied.
She didn't even think about it, what kind of person is Lao Jiu?The messy things before marriage have never stopped.Before, he was just fascinated by her good looks.On the other hand, she really took the man's infatuation as the real thing.He also lost his temper.
She thought that after shutting Lao Jiu out for a few days, Lao Jiu would do what she wanted?Who is Lao Jiu?Where is it so easy to be grasped?This will be good, stealing chickens won't make a lot of money.Where can a man lack a woman?She made Lao Jiu unable to get in like this, and felt uncomfortable, so she ran to the other brothels and Chu halls every day.It's good now, and I bought a girl from the street and got it back.I don't know what a fox is.Some she accepted. "
Seeing Concubine Shu's self-satisfied sarcasm, the Empress Dowager hurriedly said: "After all, she is still pregnant with our royal heir! Please don't make any trouble!"
Concubine Shu covered her mouth and chuckled, "That's hard to say!"
The queen mother clasped her hands together, said Amitabha, and said: "I can't blame her. No parents teach this, how can I understand. After all, you are still young. I have a brother and sister-in-law, so I can talk about it, but now, my brother and sister-in-law don't know each other. In Beijing. The maids and women around me, even if they have intentions, are all slaves. If the master loses his temper, there is no way to persuade him."
Concubine Shu also imitated the empress dowager and said Buddha, her face showed sympathy and pity, but her eyes were still full of gloating, she couldn't help covering her mouth and snickering.
☆, 52
to August.The weather has finally cooled down gradually. Although the tiger is still fierce in autumn, there are always a few traces of breeze in the yard, which is not as warm and cool as summer.People also refreshed.
Lin Huan wore a goose-yellow cross-collar vest with twigs, and sat leisurely in the courtyard, holding tea in one hand and flipping through a novel on the table with the other.This script is not very popular in Dazhou, and it is a little remote.The book tells the story of a girl who was separated from her family due to the war when she was young. Twenty years later, her father became the prime minister, searched for her relatives, and finally recognized her relatives with blood, and found her lost daughter.Of course, there are many ups and downs in the process of getting to know each other.
When Mrs. Wang came in, Lin Huan happened to see the scene of blood confession.Can't help scoffing at this.Blood dissolves in water, no matter whether it is a biological child or not, no matter whether it is the same blood type or not, two drops of blood will always dissolve in a container, it is only a matter of time.Those with matching blood types will dissolve quickly, while those with inconsistent blood types will dissolve slowly.
Lin Huan also thought of what was occasionally reported in the novels and TVs of later generations. Put alum in water, and the two can dissolve; put clear oil in water, they will not mix.The effect of alum is only to accelerate the compatibility of blood, but not to cause the two to dissolve.Even if there is no alum, the dripping blood will still melt together.As for clear oil, clear oil is denser than water, so it will float on the surface, and others will know how to do it at a glance.Besides, blood drops will fall through the floating oil layer into the clear water.
This method also has no scientific basis.It's nonsense.
Lin Huan raised his head and asked Mama Wang beside her, "Have you ever heard of the saying that you recognize your relatives by dripping blood?"
Mother Wang came to persuade Lin Huan because she was anxious because there was an extra woman in the mansion and the prince had not come to the main room so far.Only Lin Huan opened his mouth first, and the master asked each other, but the slaves did not answer.
"When the servant girl was in the country in the early years, I heard that the book said such a thing."
Lin Huan let out an "oh", flipped through the book, and stopped talking.
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, there was no official statement on the recognition of relatives by dripping blood.There are only some rumors in the market, all of which come from folk tales or legends.
Ms. Wang glanced at the pages of the book that Lin Huan was turning, and immediately understood, "Is the princess worried about Mrs. Song? The mother is Xiucai's daughter. Because Xiucai's only daughter entered the palace, she really missed her, so she recognized a girl from the Song family who was somewhat similar to her daughter as a righteous daughter. In this way, the Chen family found her The scholar's family is just a one-sided statement from both parties, and it cannot be convicted. However, if this blood confession is carried out in the court, I'm afraid..."
Lin Huan smiled, "Blooded confession! Does Mama Wang believe it?"
Ms. Wang thought for a while, "I have never seen it with my own eyes, but since it is said in the scripts and dramas, and the big fellows also say the same, it should be credible."
Lin Huan smiled more and more happily, what she wanted was the recognition of ordinary people.After closing the pages of the book, she handed it to Mama Wang, and said, "Mom is good to keep it. When the prince comes back, you can send this book to the prince."
Mother Wang was overjoyed, after so many days, Lin Huan was finally willing to bow her head, and she couldn't help saying happily: "Wangfei, what else can I tell Wang Ye?"
"You just need to hand over the book to the prince. The prince will naturally understand."
Mama Wang was in a hurry, why did she ask this.But Lin Huan looked like he had nothing to do with himself, and he had already drank tea leisurely.Mother Wang will be satisfied with this.This doesn't even mean that I want to continue.If you really want to, you should take this opportunity to find the prince by yourself instead of ordering her to be a servant.Ms. Wang couldn't help but sigh with Lin Huan.
Feng Liuying came forward again and said, "My aunt is here!"
Lin Huan froze for a moment, turned around and gave Wang Mama a look.She and Tu Mingyan had such a quarrel, if her parents were still there, they would have been called to give them a good reprimand.But now, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min have gone to Yangzhou. In the capital, Aunt Gu is the only one who has this status and some weight to persuade her.
Lin Huan welcomed Aunt Gu into the door, and personally took the tea made by the girl and brought it over, with a playful smile on her face.Aunt Gu made a half-movement, pulling away Lin Huan who was soft on her body, "You stand up for me! Don't want to act like a baby today, just get away with it. Now everyone in the capital knows that the prince brought a woman into the mansion. That woman What's the reason? Do you know? It's only been a long time since we got married, and this kind of thing happened."
There were only Aunt Gu and Lin Huan in the room, and the rest of the girl and mother-in-law had already retreated out, and no one else was present, so Aunt Gu had no scruples about training.
"Who is King Zhongshun, don't say it. Everyone was worried about this marriage. Your brother wanted to see you get a good foothold in the palace. Besides, he didn't want to. The matter in Yangzhou came so quickly. Before leaving, I entrusted your sister-in-law to tell me to let me take care of you. Although the prince is a nobleman of the Tian family, I can't ask him to bully you at will. But now...
Although the prince is hateful, but look!Look at what you've been doing yourself!I usually just say that you are a smart person, know how to measure, and know what to do!Now that the trouble has become like this, you don't want to try to coax the prince back, but you are getting stubborn here!You are my prince, or your elder brother, everything will always depend on you, let you go!
Zhouzhou, listen to my aunt's advice.Since you are married to the prince, you will always live with him for the rest of your life.Hurry up and get rid of these childish attitudes. "
Lin Huan listened obediently to Aunt Gu's long reprimand, nodding from time to time, but didn't answer a word.Seeing that Aunt Gu became more and more angry, she got up and walked out with a flick of her sleeves.
"Hmph! It's also because I can't recognize my identity. You are the princess now, but if I am the only one to give you a big gift, how can I say that about you again!"
Only when you really treat you well, will you say this regardless of your status.Lin Huan didn't know. Seeing that Aunt Gu was really annoyed, she quickly grabbed Aunt Gu and hugged Aunt Gu's arm, "Don't go, Auntie! I was wrong! I was wrong! Auntie can't ignore me!"
Aunt Gu looked angry and laughed, and poked Lin Huan on the forehead, "How old is she, she has children, and she is still acting like a baby." She sighed and touched Lin Huan's stomach carefully, "My child How are you?"
"It's good! Eat and sleep every day, and eat after sleeping, can it be good?"
Aunt Gu glared at Lin Huan, "It's good to be able to eat and sleep! The month is so young now, so be careful. Just wait for the baby to sit firmly, but it will have to walk around every day. In this way, when it's time to give birth, It will be smooth."
Lin Huan nodded in agreement.She couldn't tell the truth, but she didn't want to lie to Aunt Gu. Seeing that Aunt Gu didn't mention what she said before, she only talked to Aunt Gu through the child for a while.After sending Aunt Gu out, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Qing Qiong lifted the curtain and came in.Lin Huan asked, "How is that girl in Fangfei Court?"
"Everything is fine. The girl was also clever. She smashed things in the courtyard and only yelled that her family had bought her by force, but she didn't want to. She argued with the prince and locked the door, and no one was allowed to enter. "
Lin Huan smiled, "This will save us a lot of trouble. Qing Qiong, you go and throw things too."
Qing Qiong was taken aback for a moment, then laughed knowingly.I dare not just fall in this room, fearing the child in Lin Huan's stomach.Then he went to the courtyard. Lin Huan only heard crackling and swearing, and he couldn't help laughing.
For a while, everyone in the palace knew that the prince took a fancy to a girl and bought it back, but the girl didn't want to and lost her temper.But man!That is, a wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as stealing, and stealing is not as good as not being able to steal.The more so, the more exciting.It's like when a horse lover meets a rare and powerful horse, once he becomes arrogant, he must tame it.This made the concubine even more angry, and smashed the celadon all over the place, but the person who is now on the cusp of the lord's heart, let go, no one is allowed to approach Fangfei Courtyard, and no one is allowed to serve that vixen.
The people in the mansion only think of the princess as annoyed and helpless, so they want to isolate the girl, regardless of life or death.It's just that although the girl seems to be favored by the prince now, she is just a girl who doesn't know her origin.
"Princess, don't be in a hurry. Fortunately, the maidservant went in time and was rescued." I complained in my heart that I was flustered for a while, and I didn't speak clearly, which made Lin Huan terrified.
Lin Huanlue settled down, "Who else knows about this matter?"
"Mother Song's story can't be spread, how could the servants not know about it. They didn't dare to shout. They only called Qing Qiong to stay in Mother Song's room to watch. They also asked Liu Ying and Zhu Li to watch outside, so they came here Report to the princess."
Lin Huan nodded, and rushed to the garden of the palace with Ms. Wang.
On the east side of the inner garden of the palace, a tower and green bamboo hut were built near the water.The upper and lower floors are very elegant.Also cool in summer.It was designed by Tu Mingyan himself at the beginning of the establishment of the mansion, that princes and princes are not allowed to leave Beijing at will.It is also a foresight to do this in the Ming proverb. The bamboo building is facing the water, and the lotus pond is behind it.The outside of the building is lush with shrubs and flowers, providing shade and shelter.In order to have a place to escape the heat in summer.It can be seen that Tu Mingyan is also a master who knows how to enjoy life.As long as there are conditions, I will never treat myself half a point.
Although the bamboo building is cool and refreshing, it is a bit too cold for the elderly, such as Song's mother.There is also a wooden house on the west side of the garden.The design is also exquisite, not only covered with tree shade, but also built a fire wall and earth dragon.Mother Song lived here.Thinking that Song's mother is getting older, she has suffered a lot in the palace, and she has suffered from some illnesses.After Lin Huan got started with the trivial matters in the house, no matter how big or small, he never disturbed Song's mother easily.Mother Song didn't have the right to read.An Xin retreated.
Even so, no one in the mansion dared to underestimate Mama Song.Tu Mingyan always asks about Mother Song's situation every day, or buys some food for Lin Huan outside, and he doesn't forget to bring some to Mother Song.Every once in a while, I also went to visit Mama Song's hut, and sent two maids to take care of Mama Song.
Looking at the entire Great Zhou, whose servants have the face of Mother Song?Mother Song seems to be half the master of the house.
From this, one can also imagine what kind of life Tu Mingyan lived during those days of struggling in the palace, and what kind of sacrifices and efforts Mother Song must have made here.
Lin Huan sighed and stepped into the wooden house.Mother Song was lying on the bed with her eyes closed tightly, her complexion was a little pale and haggard, but she did not have the "golden paper face" of a dying person, and her lips did not appear dark purple or cyanotic.Lin Huan lost his breath.
Qing Qiong was taking care of her, and the two maids serving Song's mother knelt by the bed and wept in a low voice. The whimpering sound made Lin Huan even more anxious.
"Why are you crying? You know how to cry now! Where did everyone go when Song's mother had an accident?"
When the two little girls heard the scolding, they trembled in fright. When they turned around and saw that it was Lin Huan, they were even more afraid to speak out.
Lin Huan didn't bother to talk to them any more, and asked Qing Qiong, "What's the matter?" while checking on Song's mother.Lin Huan didn't know medical skills, so he could feel it. Although Song's mother's pulse was a little weak, it was still stable.One breath and one breath are also regular.The hanging heart dropped more than half.
"Fortunately, Ms. Wang came here by coincidence and found it in time. She was rescued. She has been relieved. She just hasn't woken up yet."
Qingqiong crushed the medicine and melted it in a tea bowl, but Mother Song's teeth were closed tightly, and the medicine juice couldn't get in at all, and it all flowed down the corner of her mouth.Qing Qiong tried to pry her mouth several times, but there was nothing she could do.
Lin Huan was so angry that he snatched the tea bowl from Qing Qiong's hand and smashed it on the ground.Song's mother is determined to die, and she doesn't want to live.
Not to mention the two little girls in the room, even Qing Qiong was shocked.
"Since Mother Song refuses to take the medicine, that's all. At worst, wrap her body in a roll of mats and let everyone in the mansion be buried with her!"
Lin Huan's harsh words were thrown out, and Song's mother's eyelashes moved slightly.One eye still didn't open.But at least it proved that she could hear it.Just don't want to wake up, don't want to wake up.I wish I was dead.
Lin Huan took a few deep breaths, calmed down his anger, sat on the edge of the bed, approached Mama Song and said, "Mother Song, why bother? Is there no other way to solve this big problem? I know that Mama Song is afraid that things will come out. Injured the prince. But, did Mother Song think that it would be over once she died?
Has Mother Song ever thought about it, if someone insists on picking the bone in the egg, find the thorn.Naturally, it can also be said that in order not to implicate himself, the prince ordered a killer to force this shit pot on the prince's head?
There is no need to have any evidence, as long as the words are reasonable, if you find a few people to make a big show, you will not be able to convict the prince.But there are so many mouths in the world, how can the prince stop it? "
Mother Song clenched her teeth, and her whole body began to shake.Lin Huan called Qingqiong to remelt the pills and fed them to Song's mother.This time, Mother Song did not resist.After a bowl of medicine was safely swallowed, Lin Huan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Princess, don't worry, this is an emergency medicine that is always prepared in the palace. The medicine is very effective. Mama Song is fine. I think she will wake up soon." Qing Qiong comforted her, and Lin Huan nodded. Nodding, I saw Tu Mingyan striding in.His face was full of anxiety.
Tu Mingyan was originally an idle prince. He made great contributions to the Yangzhou incident, and seeing that he was married and had a family, he had established a family. The emperor threw him to the Ministry of War and took up a moderate official position.
No matter how big or small the official position is, just because of Tu Mingyan's status as a loyal and obedient king, the people in the military department can only make offerings like bodhisattvas, and dare not work on ordinary things.So going to the yamen is just a matter of going to the yamen every day, drinking tea leisurely, playing chess, and staying until the time to go down to the yamen.
Lin Huan was diagnosed with pregnancy today.Anan excitedly ran over to announce the good news.It wasn't time to go to the Yamen at first, but Ming Yan saw that there was nothing to do left and right, so he left a little earlier.But just halfway there, he met Ah Bei who was sent by Lin Huan to report about Song's mother.
He only heard the phrase "Mother Song committed suicide", her face remained unchanged, and the smiles that were full of having children just now disappeared in an instant.Ah Bei didn't know the basics, he couldn't ask around why, and he didn't know what happened to Song's mother now. It was only clear that the proverb was in the fog, and he was confused when he heard it, and he became more and more anxious.Unable to wait for the carriage, he cut off the reins on the horse's neck and rode to the mansion.
As soon as Fang entered the door, he saw Mama Song lying on the bed with a pale face. She walked two steps quickly and came to the bed. She saw that Mama Song was no longer as radiant as before. , but none of the doctors saw it, and frowned. Hearing the unbearable cries of the two little girls, he felt more and more depressed, and kicked them over, "Why are you crying! Let you take good care of me, what do you take care of?" Appearance! Hurry up and call for a doctor!" Turning around, he hurriedly called Anan again.
Lin Huan hurriedly stopped him, "My lord! I can't invite a doctor!"
Tu Mingyan opened his eyes wide and looked at Lin Huan in disbelief. Lin Huan had never seen a coldness in his eyes, "What did you say?" As he spoke, he shook his hand and pulled Lin Huan The right arm was drawn out.
Tu Mingyan's blow was a bit strong, and it was too sudden. Lin Huan didn't expect it. He leaned back and was about to hit the corner of the table.Tu Mingyan was taken aback. He was in a panic, but he didn't expect this to happen. He stretched out his hand to pull, but he only grabbed the corner of Lin Huan's sleeve. The proverb slipped through the fingers.
Fortunately, Qing Qiong had been standing by Lin Huan's side all the time, with sharp eyesight and quick hands, she hugged Lin Huan, and protected Lin Huan with her body in front of the table.
Tu Mingyan heaved a sigh of relief.Lin Huan came to his senses, took two steps forward, bowed his head and bowed his knees to Tu Mingyan, "I don't know if the prince has a doctor he knows well, he has a good mouth, and he doesn't talk too much. Please come and show it to Mother Song." It's good to see."
Tu Mingyan was slightly astonished, even when Lin Huan was just married, Lin Huan was respectful to him in everything, but he never made a big gift.And it's only a few sentences, but there is alienation everywhere.
"I..." Tu Mingyan wanted to explain, but he only uttered one word, but Lin Huan robbed him: "Don't worry too much, Mr. Song. Mother Song has already taken the medicine, and everything is stable. It must take a while Then he will wake up. The prince has a good talk with Song's mother, and persuades and persuades Song's mother."
As he spoke, he ignored what Tu Mingyan was thinking, and led a group of servants out of the house without looking back.Only Tu Mingyan stood in the middle of the room in a daze, staring blankly at the right hand raised in mid-air.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――
Mama Wang glanced at Lin Huan who was lying on the imperial concubine's couch beside her. Although her eyes were closed, everyone in the room, whether it was Mama Wang or Qingqiong Zhuli, knew that Lin Huan was not asleep.But no one dared to disturb her.In other words, Tu Mingyan didn't do it on purpose, and he really can't be blamed on Tu Mingyan.Only... Mother Wang felt a chill down her back when she thought that if it wasn't Qing Qiong, or Lin Huan bumped into the sharp table corner, and Lin Huan was still pregnant, she felt a chill in her back and was terrified.
Thinking of this, Ms. Wang felt a little annoyed.You said that it was not good for Mother Song to have an accident, but it was at this time.Lin Huan was happy to be diagnosed, and the mansion was happy, but this kind of thing happened.
Nian Shao boiled the medicine and brought it in, Madam Wang suppressed her anger, took the medicine bowl, and called "Prince Wang" a few times.
Lin Huan opened his eyes slightly.
"This is an anti-fetal medicine. The princess will rest after drinking the medicine."
Lin Huan took the medicine bowl, no matter whether it was bitter or not, he raised his head and drank it, rinsed his mouth, and then said: "The two girls beside Song's mother should also send someone to take a good look at it. I'm afraid the foot is not light, so don't kick it badly. Someone went to the pharmacy to grab a few doses of medicine. Mama Song valued friendship. Those two girls also waited on her for a while. I'm afraid they have taken it to heart. If the two of them If something happens, Mother Song will be sad too.
Although the two girls didn't have any opinions, fortunately, they were considerate to Song's mother.And the mouth is also strict, will not spread this matter.That's all, that's all.Just keep it and take care of Mother Song. "
Mama Wang nodded in agreement.Lin Huan got up again and rummaged through the spare medicine for bruises, pulled Qingqiong, and said with a smile: "Good girl, today is thanks to you! Let me see how your injury is, and I will rub it for you. "
"Your servant is fine." Qing Qiong just lowered her head, refusing to take off her clothes for Lin Huan to see.
Lin Huan raised his eyebrows, "What? Do you think I can't apply medicine or serve people?"
Qing Qiong was startled.Zhu Li stepped forward, snatched the wound medicine from Lin Huan's hand, and cast a blessing on her body, "Princess said that she is the only one who cares about Sister Qingqiong? Could it be that we don't care after growing up with each other? Don't worry, the princess. When I go back, I will rub it on Sister Qingqiong. Such a good wound medicine is rare. I will thank Sister Qingqiong for being here."
He spoke briskly and laughed playfully, dispelling the oppressive and heavy atmosphere in the room a lot.Lin Huan couldn't help but smile, and didn't insist anymore.Although Qing Qiong is calm, she is also too cautious, she usually jokes in front of her like Zhu Li, and won't make any noise, how could she agree to let her take medicine now?He just pursed his lips and said: "You said that. Then I will hand over Qing Qiong to you. I will see a good Qing Qiong tomorrow."
Zhu Li promised with all her mouth: "Princess, don't worry!"
After this question and answer, Lin Huan was in a much happier mood.
Mama Wang hesitated again and again, but still stepped forward to persuade: "Wangfei, Wangye..."
Just started talking, Lin Huan interrupted, "What time is it?"
Mama Wang sighed, and looked at the dark sky outside, "It's about a quarter of an hour away."
Lin Huan let out an "oh", waved his hand and said, "lock it!"
☆, 51
Mother Wang was taken aback, "Locked? The prince hasn't come back yet?"
Lin Huan's eyeballs moved, "My lord won't be sleeping in this courtyard tonight."
If you don't sleep in this courtyard, where will you sleep?Although usually the mistress is pregnant and is inconvenient, it is necessary to arrange a housekeeper to serve her.But Lin Huan had just been diagnosed with pregnancy.Even if it is to be arranged, it is not something that will happen in a short while.What's more, I have never heard of Lin Huan's meaning before.And beside the prince, there were originally two girls, Chunhuaqiuyue, but later they were sent to take care of the two nuns bestowed by the palace.Although a few more maids have been brought in, they are not very welcomed by the prince.
Mother Wang stomped her feet anxiously. Isn't Lin Huan deliberately creating opportunities for others?Even showing generosity is not such a virtuous way.If you really want to arrange people, you should choose those who know the basics and can control them.
The prince didn't do it on purpose today, how could he let his temper and fight with the prince?
Mother Wang pursed her lips, frowned and wanted to persuade her again, but Lin Huan had already entered the inner room by herself.Qing Qiong and Zhu Li looked at each other, they didn't know what to do, so they came to seek Madam Wang's advice.
Mother Wang sighed, "It's not like you don't know the temper of the princess. If you become stubborn, ten cows will not be able to pull it back. You go in and serve the princess and rest. The princess is pregnant now, so don't be too tired .I'll go and explain to the woman who guards the door."
Although it is the rule of the palace, if you lock it, you have to wait until the next morning to open it.Only rules are dead, but people are alive.And it's just a proverb that the prince is the biggest in the entire palace, if he really wants to come into the courtyard, can the lady guarding the gate not open the door?
Tu Mingyan looked at the closed Zhumen from afar, and felt as if he had been hit hard by something, and felt as if a piece had been pulled out by someone, which was very unpleasant.
I don't know what Lin Huan is doing now, what he had for dinner, how is he doing now, how is the child.Have you ever taken medicine?The small ebony box in his bosom was pressed against his chest. Even through the underwear, it still felt like it was on fire, and it was hot.
Across the vermilion gate, Tu Mingyan was just thinking wildly, neither advancing nor retreating.After standing in a daze for a quarter of an hour, Anan couldn't stand it any longer. He stepped forward and said softly, "Why don't the servants knock on the door. There is a woman watching the night at the door. When you see the prince, why don't you open it?" .”
Tu Mingyan was silent for a while, and couldn't help but want to agree several times. He only thought about the success news from Sichuan, and his thoughts were suppressed again. He waved to Anan: "Go down and rest!"
Lin Huan turned over, turned over again, tossed and turned several times, but still couldn't fall asleep.He stroked the bed beside him inch by inch.The seat where Tu Mingyan used to lie down was now empty, as if his heart had also been left empty, with nowhere to go.I remember that when she first got married, she was not used to sleeping with more people beside her, and she was always alienated and guarded every night.But now, it's only two months, when will it start, and when will it start.This kind of unaccustomedness has become a habit in the day-to-day getting along, and it suddenly disappeared, but I feel very uncomfortable.
I don't know how long it has passed, but there is a faint scent of osmanthus, which is fresh and elegant, and it seems to be mixed with a heavy panting.It made Lin Huan inexplicably feel comfortable and at ease, but also fell asleep in a daze.
In the early morning of the second day, as soon as he turned over and got up, he saw the box on the bed table, made of ebony wood, with several emerald gemstones inlaid on the edge.Open it, and there are a dozen candied fruit neatly placed inside.Twist one and put it in your mouth, it is soft and glutinous, sweet but not greasy.Lin Huan closed the lid and took a closer look, only to see the small and inconspicuous Suxiangzhai mark on the lower right corner of the box.
Suxiangzhai is a famous restaurant in Beijing.I don't know where the pastry chef was hired, his unique skill is unmatched by anyone, even the imperial chef in Neng Palace may be inferior by three points.However, Suxiangzhai only deals in sweet fruit cakes, and all kinds of fruits are not only well-made in color, fragrance, but also elegantly packaged.For example, the one she has now.In the Great Zhou Dynasty, candied fruit was packaged and sold in ebony boxes inlaid with gemstones. I am afraid that this is the only one, and there is no other semicolon.
Lin Huan curled his lips. Such a demeanor was nothing more than pretending to show face, so as to improve the quality of eating fruit.With just this trick, the price of candied fruit, which was so ordinary, became sky-high in an instant.Even so, there are still many dignitaries in the capital rushing to buy them.
But Suxiangzhai's fresh fruit is limited every day, and it is the hardest thing to find, and now it is even more difficult to find.
This Suxiangzhai was originally the dowry shop of Mrs. Wei's wife.And this Mr. Wei was the disciple and subordinate of Chen Guogong who had surrendered himself before and took full responsibility for the fraudulent imperial examination case, thus exonerating the Chen family.
Because of Wei Da's incident, he was sentenced to be the queen of autumn.Although her family was not implicated, Madam Wei still had no mood to run the shop.It was closed early in the morning.In other words, now in the capital, the Suxiangzhai's Shiguo should be extinct, and I don't know how Tu Mingyan found such a way to get such a box.
Lin Huan stuffed the box under the pillow.Qing Qiong stepped forward to help her change her clothes.Then I heard Zhu Li on the other side scolding the girl at the door: "Which of you stole the snacks on the table? The master didn't say to reward you, so you can take it randomly?"
The little girls only cowardly said they dared not, never.
"Still saying no! There was still a plate last night, look now, look at the half piece, there are still teeth marks on it? Don't try to fool me. The princess rinsed her mouth before going to bed, but never Eat again."
Qing Qiong frowned and looked at Lin Huan, then hurriedly turned around and went out, pulling Zhu Li, "Okay! It's early in the morning, what's the matter! Isn't it just a plate of dim sum?"
Zhu Li just didn't let go, "If you dare to take snacks today, you will dare to steal other things tomorrow!"
Seeing her like this, Qing Qiong hurriedly waved the little girl away, and dragged Zhu Li into the room.But Zhu Li kept talking.Lin Huan smiled and lifted the curtain and came out, "There are only a few people who can enter my room. There are no such people. Maybe they were eaten by mice. Zhu Li, forget it!"
Where did the rats come from in the palace?Even if there are one or two in a remote corner, how could they appear in the princess's room?When the maids and women who clean up the yard are all free to eat?
Regarding Lin Huan's explanation, Zhu Li pursed her lips, not believing it at all, seeing what Lin Huan had said, it was inconvenient to pursue it further.
Had breakfast.Lin Huan moved a chair to enjoy the shade in the yard.The courtyard wall is a bit high, and most of the wind is blocked, and it is not easy to blow in.Only when Lin Huan was pregnant, Mother Wang warned and exhorted her in every possible way, not to be caught in the cold wind, so the breeze was just right.
In the southeast corner of the courtyard wall, there are several osmanthus trees, with crooked branches extending through the courtyard wall into the courtyard.It is said that August osmanthus is fragrant.But now, it is only July, but it has already bloomed.Once the breeze passed, occasionally a few fragmented petals fluttered and fell down.Take a sniff, you can smell a burst of fragrance, refreshing.
Lin Huan was in a good mood immediately, and couldn't help laughing.
After several days like this, Tu Mingyan became more and more busy because there were always good news from Sichuan, and a complete victory was just around the corner.Go out early and return late every day.It was getting dark, and it was rare to see people.In contrast, Lin Huan is very leisurely.Eat, sleep, walk, and play every day.After Xu time, he ordered people to lock up, regardless of whether Tu Mingyan returned to the house or not.When I wake up every day, there will always be some gadgets, or food, or toys beside the bed.But these are known to no one except Qing Qiong who is on duty every night.
A few days ago, Ms. Wang was thinking about the newlyweds, and she occasionally had a quarrel, which was just for fun. Afterwards, she would just give in to the prince.Seeing Lin Huan's posture, he became more and more anxious.Tu Mingyan couldn't get in, put on airs and refused to coax, Lin Huan became more and more unwilling to bow his head first.The two fell into a deadlock for a while.After so many back and forth, Tu Mingyan also lost his patience, and went to the Golan courtyard to have fun again.Seeing this, Wang Mama persuaded her a few times, but Lin Huan just talked about it left and right, with a sigh of relief in her heart, and she refused to pay attention to Tu Mingyan more and more.
Mother Wang stomped her feet in anger, but there was nothing she could do.
July 23.Another good news from Sichuan.The Sichuan General Soldier killed the leader of the Eighteen Villages.Among the other eighteen village owners, seven were captured alive, four were killed in battle, and five were seriously injured.The Yi people were defeated.
In Yanshou Palace, the Empress Dowager left Concubine Shu alone to gossip.Concubine Shu said with a smile: "Our Chen Clan General Assembly also felt elated once. With this military merit, I would like to see how dare the people who insisted on the imperial examination and crushed our Chen Clan into the dirt back then furious!"
The Empress Dowager frowned slightly, "They are all doing things for the court and the emperor. You can't say these words indiscriminately." Although it was a reprimand, the tone was mild and joyful, and it was obvious that she was generally complacent.
Concubine Shu raised her eyebrows, "Isn't this in front of my aunt? Outside, I wouldn't say it!"
The queen mother only gave birth to the emperor's son, no princess.Concubine Shu often went to the palace to accompany the queen mother since she was a child, especially after the emperor ascended the throne, she often lived in the palace for a while.Later, she was selected as the empress concubine, and she had a very close relationship with the queen mother, and there was no outsider, so she was not called "the queen mother", but "aunt".
The queen mother looked at Concubine Shu's appearance and scolded with a smile: "A person in his decades! My son has married a wife and given birth to a child. Why is he still like this when he was a child? He used to act like a spoiled child."
Concubine Shu went forward and squeezed on a soft couch with the Queen Mother, took the Queen Mother's hand, and said, "In the eyes of my aunt, am I not always a child? I still have to rely on my aunt to help me! Protect me!"
The queen mother smiled and said: "Silly boy. In this harem, you and I are the only one family. If I don't help you, who else can I help?" She sighed and said with emotion, "The emperor has become more and more harmonious these years. I'm born. Fortunately, you often come to accompany me and talk to me."
"Don't be sad, aunt. The emperor is a filial son. It's just that there are too many things in the court, and there are always some troubles. Why is it that you are separated from the aunt? You are the emperor's biological mother. Why does the emperor not kiss you?" of?"
Everyone knew that it was just an official word for face, but the queen mother was still very relieved.
Another mammy came forward and whispered a few words, and handed a secret letter to the Queen Mother.The Queen Mother felt better after seeing it.Concubine Shu was curious and leaned over to have a look.
The Empress Dowager patted her with a smile, and said: "It's about Laojiu's mansion. It is said that Laojiu met a woman on the street, saw her right, and bought it and brought it back to the mansion." She sighed again. Shaking his head, "Lao Jiu still has this temperament. I thought that he would restrain himself after getting married, but I didn't expect that he is still like this."
Concubine Shu snorted, and said: "If you want me to say, I also blame Lao Jiu's wife for this matter, after all, she has no parents to raise her. At the wedding, seeing that Lao Jiu gave her some color and treated her better, she would Be frivolous. I heard that Lao Jiu was still running around the yard with her in his arms.
Although they are serious couples and newlyweds, they still have to be careful.It's too ostentatious like this. I don't think she has learned the bit of restraint that a woman should have.Not only did he not feel indecent, but he became self-satisfied.
She didn't even think about it, what kind of person is Lao Jiu?The messy things before marriage have never stopped.Before, he was just fascinated by her good looks.On the other hand, she really took the man's infatuation as the real thing.He also lost his temper.
She thought that after shutting Lao Jiu out for a few days, Lao Jiu would do what she wanted?Who is Lao Jiu?Where is it so easy to be grasped?This will be good, stealing chickens won't make a lot of money.Where can a man lack a woman?She made Lao Jiu unable to get in like this, and felt uncomfortable, so she ran to the other brothels and Chu halls every day.It's good now, and I bought a girl from the street and got it back.I don't know what a fox is.Some she accepted. "
Seeing Concubine Shu's self-satisfied sarcasm, the Empress Dowager hurriedly said: "After all, she is still pregnant with our royal heir! Please don't make any trouble!"
Concubine Shu covered her mouth and chuckled, "That's hard to say!"
The queen mother clasped her hands together, said Amitabha, and said: "I can't blame her. No parents teach this, how can I understand. After all, you are still young. I have a brother and sister-in-law, so I can talk about it, but now, my brother and sister-in-law don't know each other. In Beijing. The maids and women around me, even if they have intentions, are all slaves. If the master loses his temper, there is no way to persuade him."
Concubine Shu also imitated the empress dowager and said Buddha, her face showed sympathy and pity, but her eyes were still full of gloating, she couldn't help covering her mouth and snickering.
☆, 52
to August.The weather has finally cooled down gradually. Although the tiger is still fierce in autumn, there are always a few traces of breeze in the yard, which is not as warm and cool as summer.People also refreshed.
Lin Huan wore a goose-yellow cross-collar vest with twigs, and sat leisurely in the courtyard, holding tea in one hand and flipping through a novel on the table with the other.This script is not very popular in Dazhou, and it is a little remote.The book tells the story of a girl who was separated from her family due to the war when she was young. Twenty years later, her father became the prime minister, searched for her relatives, and finally recognized her relatives with blood, and found her lost daughter.Of course, there are many ups and downs in the process of getting to know each other.
When Mrs. Wang came in, Lin Huan happened to see the scene of blood confession.Can't help scoffing at this.Blood dissolves in water, no matter whether it is a biological child or not, no matter whether it is the same blood type or not, two drops of blood will always dissolve in a container, it is only a matter of time.Those with matching blood types will dissolve quickly, while those with inconsistent blood types will dissolve slowly.
Lin Huan also thought of what was occasionally reported in the novels and TVs of later generations. Put alum in water, and the two can dissolve; put clear oil in water, they will not mix.The effect of alum is only to accelerate the compatibility of blood, but not to cause the two to dissolve.Even if there is no alum, the dripping blood will still melt together.As for clear oil, clear oil is denser than water, so it will float on the surface, and others will know how to do it at a glance.Besides, blood drops will fall through the floating oil layer into the clear water.
This method also has no scientific basis.It's nonsense.
Lin Huan raised his head and asked Mama Wang beside her, "Have you ever heard of the saying that you recognize your relatives by dripping blood?"
Mother Wang came to persuade Lin Huan because she was anxious because there was an extra woman in the mansion and the prince had not come to the main room so far.Only Lin Huan opened his mouth first, and the master asked each other, but the slaves did not answer.
"When the servant girl was in the country in the early years, I heard that the book said such a thing."
Lin Huan let out an "oh", flipped through the book, and stopped talking.
In the Great Zhou Dynasty, there was no official statement on the recognition of relatives by dripping blood.There are only some rumors in the market, all of which come from folk tales or legends.
Ms. Wang glanced at the pages of the book that Lin Huan was turning, and immediately understood, "Is the princess worried about Mrs. Song? The mother is Xiucai's daughter. Because Xiucai's only daughter entered the palace, she really missed her, so she recognized a girl from the Song family who was somewhat similar to her daughter as a righteous daughter. In this way, the Chen family found her The scholar's family is just a one-sided statement from both parties, and it cannot be convicted. However, if this blood confession is carried out in the court, I'm afraid..."
Lin Huan smiled, "Blooded confession! Does Mama Wang believe it?"
Ms. Wang thought for a while, "I have never seen it with my own eyes, but since it is said in the scripts and dramas, and the big fellows also say the same, it should be credible."
Lin Huan smiled more and more happily, what she wanted was the recognition of ordinary people.After closing the pages of the book, she handed it to Mama Wang, and said, "Mom is good to keep it. When the prince comes back, you can send this book to the prince."
Mother Wang was overjoyed, after so many days, Lin Huan was finally willing to bow her head, and she couldn't help saying happily: "Wangfei, what else can I tell Wang Ye?"
"You just need to hand over the book to the prince. The prince will naturally understand."
Mama Wang was in a hurry, why did she ask this.But Lin Huan looked like he had nothing to do with himself, and he had already drank tea leisurely.Mother Wang will be satisfied with this.This doesn't even mean that I want to continue.If you really want to, you should take this opportunity to find the prince by yourself instead of ordering her to be a servant.Ms. Wang couldn't help but sigh with Lin Huan.
Feng Liuying came forward again and said, "My aunt is here!"
Lin Huan froze for a moment, turned around and gave Wang Mama a look.She and Tu Mingyan had such a quarrel, if her parents were still there, they would have been called to give them a good reprimand.But now, Lin Ruhai and Jia Min have gone to Yangzhou. In the capital, Aunt Gu is the only one who has this status and some weight to persuade her.
Lin Huan welcomed Aunt Gu into the door, and personally took the tea made by the girl and brought it over, with a playful smile on her face.Aunt Gu made a half-movement, pulling away Lin Huan who was soft on her body, "You stand up for me! Don't want to act like a baby today, just get away with it. Now everyone in the capital knows that the prince brought a woman into the mansion. That woman What's the reason? Do you know? It's only been a long time since we got married, and this kind of thing happened."
There were only Aunt Gu and Lin Huan in the room, and the rest of the girl and mother-in-law had already retreated out, and no one else was present, so Aunt Gu had no scruples about training.
"Who is King Zhongshun, don't say it. Everyone was worried about this marriage. Your brother wanted to see you get a good foothold in the palace. Besides, he didn't want to. The matter in Yangzhou came so quickly. Before leaving, I entrusted your sister-in-law to tell me to let me take care of you. Although the prince is a nobleman of the Tian family, I can't ask him to bully you at will. But now...
Although the prince is hateful, but look!Look at what you've been doing yourself!I usually just say that you are a smart person, know how to measure, and know what to do!Now that the trouble has become like this, you don't want to try to coax the prince back, but you are getting stubborn here!You are my prince, or your elder brother, everything will always depend on you, let you go!
Zhouzhou, listen to my aunt's advice.Since you are married to the prince, you will always live with him for the rest of your life.Hurry up and get rid of these childish attitudes. "
Lin Huan listened obediently to Aunt Gu's long reprimand, nodding from time to time, but didn't answer a word.Seeing that Aunt Gu became more and more angry, she got up and walked out with a flick of her sleeves.
"Hmph! It's also because I can't recognize my identity. You are the princess now, but if I am the only one to give you a big gift, how can I say that about you again!"
Only when you really treat you well, will you say this regardless of your status.Lin Huan didn't know. Seeing that Aunt Gu was really annoyed, she quickly grabbed Aunt Gu and hugged Aunt Gu's arm, "Don't go, Auntie! I was wrong! I was wrong! Auntie can't ignore me!"
Aunt Gu looked angry and laughed, and poked Lin Huan on the forehead, "How old is she, she has children, and she is still acting like a baby." She sighed and touched Lin Huan's stomach carefully, "My child How are you?"
"It's good! Eat and sleep every day, and eat after sleeping, can it be good?"
Aunt Gu glared at Lin Huan, "It's good to be able to eat and sleep! The month is so young now, so be careful. Just wait for the baby to sit firmly, but it will have to walk around every day. In this way, when it's time to give birth, It will be smooth."
Lin Huan nodded in agreement.She couldn't tell the truth, but she didn't want to lie to Aunt Gu. Seeing that Aunt Gu didn't mention what she said before, she only talked to Aunt Gu through the child for a while.After sending Aunt Gu out, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Qing Qiong lifted the curtain and came in.Lin Huan asked, "How is that girl in Fangfei Court?"
"Everything is fine. The girl was also clever. She smashed things in the courtyard and only yelled that her family had bought her by force, but she didn't want to. She argued with the prince and locked the door, and no one was allowed to enter. "
Lin Huan smiled, "This will save us a lot of trouble. Qing Qiong, you go and throw things too."
Qing Qiong was taken aback for a moment, then laughed knowingly.I dare not just fall in this room, fearing the child in Lin Huan's stomach.Then he went to the courtyard. Lin Huan only heard crackling and swearing, and he couldn't help laughing.
For a while, everyone in the palace knew that the prince took a fancy to a girl and bought it back, but the girl didn't want to and lost her temper.But man!That is, a wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as stealing, and stealing is not as good as not being able to steal.The more so, the more exciting.It's like when a horse lover meets a rare and powerful horse, once he becomes arrogant, he must tame it.This made the concubine even more angry, and smashed the celadon all over the place, but the person who is now on the cusp of the lord's heart, let go, no one is allowed to approach Fangfei Courtyard, and no one is allowed to serve that vixen.
The people in the mansion only think of the princess as annoyed and helpless, so they want to isolate the girl, regardless of life or death.It's just that although the girl seems to be favored by the prince now, she is just a girl who doesn't know her origin.
