[Red Chamber] I am Lin Daiyu and her uncle

September 44th, [-]th year of Tiansheng.

Emperor Tiansheng decreed that the emperor's third son, Xiang, would be adopted by the long-deceased Changning County King, and he would inherit the county king's title.The first king of Changning County was the cousin of Emperor Gaozu. He was enfeoffed in the southwestern border of Nanke Kingdom at the beginning of the founding of the country. After five generations, he was extinct.

On the evening of October 44th, 28th year of Tiansheng.

Emperor Tiansheng died in Fengtian Temple at the age of fifty, and was posthumously named Emperor Renzong.

A month later.

The Crown Prince Zhen inherited the Datong, changed Yuan Jiayou, respected his biological mother Shen as the Empress Dowager, and pardoned the world with grace.

The first year of Jiayou.

The empress dowager ordered that all the empresses and concubines of Emperor Renzong be promoted to one level. When the news came out, everyone praised her for her virtue.

The new emperor had many things to do when he ascended the throne. Lin Qing was busy for a month after the death of Emperor Renzong. He worked almost all night long, and he didn't return home until early in the morning on the busiest days.

The night before the year change, all the officials working in the palace had a tacit understanding and did not go home.Because once midnight passed, all the ministers had to enter the palace overnight to congratulate the new emperor on his ascension, and then they could not go back until noon the next day.

It's really a physical effort, and some old people even keep ginseng with them, just in case they can't make it through, it can be used for emergencies.Although Lin Qing was young, she couldn't help but endure this. When she asked the time, it was only Xushi, and there were still several hours left.

"Are you sleepy?" Lin Qing quietly asked Sun Yiwang.

Although Sun Yiwang is older than Lin Qing, his physical fitness is not a bit better than Lin Qing's. He is especially afraid that he will lose his appearance in front of the palace. He took a lot of refreshing medicine before entering the palace. Now he is not only not sleepy, but also excited Can.

"Not sleepy." Sun Yiwang's eyes sparkled, as if he had been injected with chicken blood, looked at Lin Qing's black eyes, and asked, "Are you sleepy?"

Lin Qing drooped her eyes and nodded tiredly.

"Do me a favor. I'll take a nap for a while, remember to wake me up a moment before midnight. I really can't stand it anymore. If you don't let me sleep for a while, I won't be able to walk after a while."

"Okay, go to sleep, I'll call you when the time comes." Sun Yiwang comforted.

Lin Qing got an affirmative answer, so she laid down on her work seat and closed her eyes with peace of mind.Listening to the ups and downs singing harmony in the corridor outside the door, Lin Qing slowly fell asleep.

In the dream, Lin Qing came to a place shrouded in clouds and mist. He walked forward according to his instinct, and suddenly saw a big river full of twinkling stars lying in front of him.Strictly speaking, it should be called 'Galaxy River', because what flows inside is not river water, but radiant stars.This galaxy is really wide, like a national border, dividing this blessed land of immortals into two parts, and no one can cross the border.

The scene was too dreamy, Lin Qing was almost certain that he was dreaming, so he pinched himself fiercely, grinning his teeth in pain.It shouldn't be... It's a dream, how can the pain be so clear.

Lin Qing couldn't understand it, and suddenly heard a scream from the other side of the river, and the sound became louder and louder, which also meant that Lin Qing was getting closer.

Hearing this shrill cry, Lin Qing felt increasingly uneasy for the past few days, but he forced himself to calm down, then widened his eyes, staring at the other side of the river, wanting to see where the monster was doing the trick.

As the voice grew louder, Lin Qing finally saw clearly the monster on the other side, which was actually a golden nine-headed bird!Lin Qing looked at the vivid nine bird heads in different shapes and nine pairs of identical blood-red eyes, and suddenly felt blessed. This, isn't this the nine-headed bird scepter he saw in the Empress Dowager Lan's bedroom that day!

It's just that this monster is alive now, and its size is even bigger, covering the sky and covering the sun, like a mountain.

The bird also saw Lin Qing, and its cry became more and more shrill. Its blood-red and black eyes stared at Lin Qing strangely, flapped its wings, and was about to fly towards Lin Qing in the posture of taking off.

Lin Qing's scalp was numb from being stared at by it, and he didn't know where to run if he wanted to escape, so he could only stand there stupidly, letting the nine-headed bird-body monster play.

Just when the nine-headed bird was about to flap its wings across the galaxy and was about to fly to the opposite bank, a sound of footsteps came from behind Lin Qing. Lin Qing stiffened and looked up.

A Confucian scholar in white clothes approached from far to near. He was also huge, able to compete with the monster on the other side. Lin Qing was not as big as the sole of his feet in front of him.There is a sword pinned to the Confucian scholar's waist. The body of the sword is as clean as a white rainbow. It is decorated with colorful beads and nine-flower jade.

Lin Qing couldn't see the Confucian scholar's face clearly, but he could easily feel the righteousness in him, which made him less timid towards the nine-headed bird-body monster.However, if you look carefully, although the sword is white and clean, there seems to be a lingering black air, permeating around the sword body, looking at the blood-red eyes of the nine-headed bird. Even more trembling, Lin Qing felt a chill in his heart.

With just one thought from Lin Qing, the Confucian scholar came to the bank of the Xinghe River. He drew out his sword and confronted the nine-headed bird on the opposite bank.After the sword was unsheathed, black air billowed, and it seemed out of place with the plain sword body and the Confucian scholar's white clothes.He is so holy and upright, but he holds the most evil and dark power tightly.

The Nine-headed Bird's aura dropped a lot in front of the Confucian scholars. Facing the cold, sharp and frightening sword in the Confucian scholars' hands, the sound of the nine-headed bird changed from being determined at the beginning to panic.

Confucian scholars stepped across the galaxy and came to the other bank. The nine-headed bird wanted to escape, but was blocked by the Confucian scholars, so the screams became more and more shrill, revealing powerlessness, frightened despair, Lin Qing was shocked by this piercing cry. His eardrums were about to be ruptured, and he covered his ears, but his eyes were still staring at the scene on the other side of the river.

He wants to see with his own eyes how Confucian scholars kill demons.

The Confucian scholar held the hilt of the sword tightly with both hands, raised it to the nine-headed bird, and then slashed down quickly and forcefully——

Then Lin Qing suddenly woke up from the dream.

Lin Qing stared blankly at the familiar yet unfamiliar surroundings, unable to react for a moment.

Sun Yiwang went out to the toilet, and when she came back, she saw Lin Qing sitting on the seat in a daze with a dazed expression.

"Yo, are you awake?"

Lin Qing looked at Sun Yiwang, "How long have I been asleep?"

Just as Sun Yiwang was about to speak, the bell rang outside.

Well, no need for him to say, the time has come.

All the officials formed a queue according to their ranks and walked to Fengtian Hall in an orderly manner.

Noon the next day.

Lin Qing returned home exhausted.

The first thing is to eat. After working all day and night, he has already exhausted his energy.After eating and drinking, Lin Qing didn't rush to catch up on sleep, but ordered someone to boil bath water for him. After washing, Lin Qing ignored Shenjiao's persuasion, and rushed to Beiye Shenju without stopping.

He wants to ask Gongsun Liang clearly in person!

Unexpectedly, when he arrived, the little boy at the door told him that Gongsun Liang had wandered away and would not come back for a while.

Lin Qing felt lost, and was about to go back but was stopped by the little boy, "My lord, Mr. had expected that you would come to him. Let me tell you, just stay calm and don't be impatient. All your questions and puzzles will be left outside you." It suddenly dawned on me after I let it go.”

Lin Qing was shocked!How did he expect that he would come to him today, especially since no one other than the late emperor and Lin Ruhai should know about his release, and even Lin Ruhai told him in private that the imperial decree has not yet come down, so Gongsun How can the quantity be known so clearly?

If this can be counted, then it is amazing!

Reminiscent of the weird dream last night, Lin Qing left with various doubts.

At the end of the year, good news came from Beijing Palace, Daiyu was diagnosed to be three months pregnant.

After Lin Qing got the news, he immediately wrote to Lin Ru poster Xi.At the same time, Shen Gui's wife, Wan Shi, was also diagnosed as two months pregnant.

At the beginning of the next year, Lin Qingwai issued an imperial edict ordering him to go to Xuandong in early February and bring his family with him.

Xuandong and Xuanxi are the two most important border defenses in Nanke Kingdom, adjacent to Xuanhe Pass. Lin Qing was sent here to mix his qualifications, and when he came back, he would have the capital to improve to a higher level.

The day before the farewell, Lin Qing and Shen Jiao paid a special visit to the Beijing Palace.

After returning, Shen Jiao told Lin Qing that she had left Wen Liangyan to Daiyu.

After the incident with Princess Jincheng, Lin Qing truly realized the value of this Wenliang inkstone, and was very surprised and shocked that Shen Jiao would give it away. Even though the gift was for Daiyu, Lin Qing still clicked her tongue.

However, Shenjiao said: "No matter how precious things are, they are still dead things, but people have a living life. If it can play its due value, it is worth it! If it can't, it is no different from a stone. A woman gives birth to a child and walks through the gate of hell. Once, Yu'er's body was weak and she was pregnant before she was fully recuperated. The delivery will probably be very difficult. We will be released today, and there is no one from her natal family. I am really worried. She is the one I watched Growing up, from a childish little girl to a slim girl now, almost equal to half my daughter, I really don't want her to be in any danger."

Lin Qing was very moved that Shenjiao was so wise and aware of the general situation. Thinking of Yao Lina, who was selfish, vicious and willful in her previous life, she couldn't help but sigh, why is there such a big difference between women and mothers?
