[Red Mansion] Young Master Lin Yan

"It's the concubine who is sorry for you!"

Concubine Xian couldn't hold back in the end, tears fell down like strings of beads.Situ Yue was heartless, and Situ Ling was protecting him, so he was better.How could she not be clear about Situ Ling's grievances over the years.

Seeing this, Situ Ling deeply hated himself for bringing this up, and hurriedly began to comfort him.

Concubine Xian didn't want to see him blame herself, so she changed the subject with a smile, "Don't talk about these unhappy things. Why don't you talk about it, since you have no intentions for a girl from the Shen family, then what kind of person do you want to find?"

"Have a strong heart, decisive talent, and the ability to make decisions."

Concubine Xian chuckled and shook her head, "Are you choosing a wife or a counselor?"

Situ Ling didn't think so, "Mother and concubine, my son is in this position, he can only advance, not retreat. One step further is the ruler of the world, one step back is the abyss. I don't want a strong family background to help me, but I want to be strong myself It can relieve my worries and work hand in hand with me. I am lucky to have such a woman!"

Concubine Xian looked at him, looked her eyes up and down several times, and said tentatively: "You say that, but you already have someone in your heart?"

Situ Ling was taken aback for a moment, the word "no" came to his lips, and he swallowed it again for some reason, and a figure suddenly appeared in his mind.

At that time, she had just been tortured and carried into the palace. Da Zhou hadn't heard Dengwen's drum beating for many years. Lao Jiu took him to see who had such courage.But I didn't want it to be a daughter's house.

Even if her father offered to be a guarantor, she still suffered a great crime. She was covered in blood. In the cold winter, she was sweating profusely, and her hair was soaked in sweat, sticky and messy, and she was in a panic.

Lao Jiu was taken aback, frowned and sighed: "Is it worth it?"

She seemed to hear it, and opened her conscious eyes with some difficulty. Her breath was like gossamer, her voice was like mosquitoes, but she could see the firmness in her eyes.

"Although I died nine times, I have no regrets."

Just such a sentence made him inexplicably turbulent.

Afterwards, the emperor summoned him and specially called all the princes over.She hadn't recovered from her injuries, but she had changed her attire and re-dressed her makeup, so her appearance offended the Holy Majesty.

The pleadings were covered in blood.

She knelt down, her body swaying, but she insisted on straightening her waist.

He sued the Zhen family for numerous crimes.The words are powerful and the sentences are heart-warming.Every one made the fifth brother restless.

Later, she was raised in Fengyi Palace, and when she went to pay her respects to the queen, she could always see her.Aunt Qinghui was there most of the time.She was leaning against Aunt Qinghui, with a quiet and gentle smile, completely unable to see the resoluteness of throwing all her eggs in order to avenge the wrong of her parents.

Situ Ling thought too much for a while, and Concubine Xian felt even more surprised, and pushed him, "There is really someone there? Which family's girl?"

Situ Ling came back to his senses, opened his mouth, but he didn't say Su Jin's name after all, and said with a smile: "Where is the mother and concubine going, I am busy with court affairs every day, so I don't have the time and opportunity to meet women. "

Concubine Xian looked at him, saw that his expression remained unchanged, and sighed, "That's all! I'll take another look!"

"Tired mother concubine!"

The mother and son talked for a while, and the maid reminded in a low voice outside: "Your Majesty, it's time to drink the medicine."

Situ Ling summoned someone to come in, personally served the concubine Xian with medicine, and waited until the concubine fell asleep before coming out.Turning around and passing the Imperial Garden, I saw the Queen, Princess Qing Hui and Su Jin chatting.I don't know what Su Jin said, Princess Qing Hui and the queen both laughed.

The four collided head-on, Situ Ling stepped forward to salute, and Su Jin also saluted.Situ Ling said in a low voice: "The princess is free!"

The queen glanced at him, "Go to the palace to see Concubine Xian?"

"Yes!"

The queen nodded, "You are a filial person, so come in and chat with her when you have nothing to do. I went to the Palace to visit Sister Xian Concubine two days ago, and she was talking to me about your marriage with Lao Jiu."

Situ Ling's heart trembled, he subconsciously glanced at Su Jin, and instantly suppressed it.Turning around in my mind, I thanked the queen with a smile, and then turned to Su Jin and said, "I met the princess today, but I remembered something and wanted to ask the princess for help!"

Su Jin was taken aback, the eldest princess and the queen were also surprised, "What do you need to ask Ah Jin to help you?"

Situ Ling smiled and said: "My mother also knows my mother's concubine's current body. Although the imperial physicians have been using medicine for these years, it has not been effective. This year's spring seems to be more serious. I have heard that Master Mingyuan is good at divination. Astrology. It's a pity that he is no longer here. However, the master still has a younger sister named Ming/Hui. Now he is named in the Plum Blossom Temple.

The son thought, Princess Mingyu's younger sister was once a lay disciple of Master Ming/Hui, so I'm afraid she has some sympathy with her teacher.But those who have great power often have a strange temper.The minister wanted to invite the teacher into the palace to treat the mother and concubine, but he was afraid that she would not be able to be invited, so he wanted to ask Princess Mingyu to be a middleman and help to speak good words. "

The queen laughed when she heard it, "It's rare for you to have such filial piety."

Su Jin said: "Your Highness is serious. Although the teacher lives in seclusion and devotes herself to studying Buddhism, Dharma and medicine, and does not want to pay attention to the mundane world, she still has a heart of compassion.

At noon on the third day of every month, the teacher will open a lecture in Meihua nunnery.In the afternoon, we will accept individual explanations from donors.Every day, my sister and I always go there.If His Highness wants to, you can go there. "

"Thank you, the princess!"

The four parted ways, and Situ Ling breathed a sigh of relief. It was rare to see such a woman in the world, so he didn't want to miss it easily, so why not grab one?He was never one to give up before starting.

He turned his head and looked at Su Jin's figure who was following the queen and the eldest princess, but was half a step behind gracefully, and suddenly saw her elegant attire, with a single white jade hairpin on her head.Remembering that she was still in her filial piety, her eyes darkened, and then she smiled again.

27 months, now seven months have passed, and there are still [-] months.He can afford to wait.

I hope he is willing to marry and she is willing to marry.

********

Xuanzheng Hall.

Situ Kun looked at the memorial, but he kept thinking about Concubine Xian's words in his heart.

The daughter of the Shen family can be the queen, but for the latter, she can't be such a delicate girl.Besides, if the Shen family liked Lin Yan, he couldn't insist on asking someone to come over.What's more, in the dispute over concubine Shu and noble concubine, he doesn't want to take sides, so that's fine.

Situ Kun sighed, threw the memorial aside, and called Dai Quan in, "Go and see what Lin Yan is doing, and call him into the palace."

"Whoo!"

Dai Quan was about to leave, but was called back by Situ Kun, "I ordered Bai Zhi to come too. Come quietly!"

When Dai Quan went out, he sent Xiao Huangmen out of the palace, because Lin Yan had been waiting, so he was very fast.

When Situ Kun saw him, he laughed, "Lao Jiu has been talking about you for messing with a rotten peach blossom these days, and wished he could get rid of this trouble quickly. What's going on?"

Ask this straight to the point, Lin Yan thought, it's just right, it saves them from talking about each other.

"It's not the county head of Nan'an Wang's family! The emperor doesn't know. I'm the first and the second eldest. I haven't seen her, let alone talked to her. I don't know how this happened. I was really wronged!"

Situ Kun looked at his distraught look, "Why, the daughter of the county king's family, a county head is given to you, and you don't like it?"

Lin Yan was even more anxious, and he was not polite at all, "It depends on who it is! Your Majesty, it's not that you don't know what this Lord Huo looks like. If you disagree with me, you will whip the whip. Junior sister is the daughter of the Shen family after all. , she dares to do it. If I marry such a tigress, will I still have a good life?"

Situ Kun stared at him blankly, and said again: "I also heard that Princess Nan'an intends to choose you as her son-in-law. She once went to Jia's mansion to ask the old lady, but was blocked by you saying that she should not marry early?"

"It's true, but it's not advisable to marry early. This sentence is made up by students. Don't dare to deceive Your Majesty."

Situ Kun was stunned for a moment, and reprimanded: "You can just make up nonsense about Master's orders!"

"Your Majesty, don't scold me. My father has already scolded me. But what can I do? Ever since I came to the capital, I have always been pulled out to ask questions. Either the wife of this family or the wife of that family, if I want to There is no way to stop them, I am afraid that everyone wants to be a matchmaker."

Situ Kun's expression flickered, but he still smiled, "This one? Who are they?"

"How do I know? I can't remember, and I don't have the patience to remember these things, but they are all from Beijing."

Situ Kun's mind sank, and he pressed his fingers on the imperial case.With the Lin family's family background, Lin Yan's current status in Beijing, and his praise, he should have expected that this would be a sweet pastry, and there were not a few people who wanted to marry him.

He wanted to reuse Lin Yan, but he didn't want the Lin family to get involved with a bunch of powerful relatives because of their in-laws, which would be detrimental to his layout.In this way, it may not be bad for Lin Yan to marry Shen Yuan.The left and right Lin family and the Shen family were already very close, so they couldn't be separated without this marriage.

Situ Kun looked at Lin Yan with a smile on his face, "Why did I hear that you were negotiating marriage with a girl from the Shen family? County Lord Huo of the Wang family in Nan'an heard about this and was unwilling to go after the girl from the Shen family. trouble?"

Lin Yan's face was flushed red by the question, and he didn't know how to speak.Situ Kun smiled heartily, "It's a good thing. I haven't heard the teacher and Ru Hai tell me about it. If it's true, I can issue an imperial decree to marry you."

Lin Yan was taken aback, and hurriedly tried to hold Situ Kun down, "Don't leave, Your Majesty! This matter... this matter..."

Lin Yan lowered his head and looked at his toes, "Father and the old man meant this, but they wanted me to get in touch with my junior sister first, and didn't want to get engaged too early. I'm also afraid that we won't get along in the future, which will create a bitter couple and ruin the friendship between the two families. .”

Lin Yan rolled his eyes, stepped forward and knelt down, and begged: "Instead of thinking about bestowing a marriage for us, your majesty, why don't you do me a favor and say something nice to my father."

The emperor was taken aback, "Hmph, what did you do again?"

Lin Yan had a bitter face, "What am I doing! The emperor also knows my father's temper, he said he wants to see if my junior sister and I can get along, but in fact it is just to see if my junior sister likes me. He can't wait Woolen cloth!

If he is at this stall, he knows that I have provoked such a rotten peach blossom and brought unreasonable disaster to my junior sister, so he will definitely hit me with a board!I looked at him and my heart was in a corner.I am his own son! "

Lin Yan looked displeased, but he was calculating in his heart.In this way, let's talk to Situ Kun first, and if we fail to make it with Shen Yuan in the future, we still have something to say.As long as he was not resentful of such treatment, Situ Kun knew his temper, so he would not think too much about it, and would not spread the word to harm Shen Yuan's reputation.

Situ Kun shook his head and laughed, "I have issued an order to reprimand, what else do you want?"

Lin Yan curled his lips and stopped talking.

After Lin Yan went out, Situ Kun waved to the dark place.

Bai Zhi turned around, "Your Majesty!"

"You have been with Lin Yan for a while, but do you know who have asked about his marriage and are interested in it?"

"Zhang Shilang from the Ministry of Households, Chen Shangshu from the Ministry of Industry, Lord Qin from the Ministry of Rites..."

All of them are of high rank and weight, not first rank, but also second rank.And still followed a certain prince.Situ Kun sneered, turned his head to think for a while, and asked, "Last time, you said that Lin Yan valued the youngest girl in the family?"

"Yes! Everyone said that the young master turned the Lin family's ancestral house upside down for his own enjoyment, and made a lot of construction. Although the young master did do it for himself to a certain extent, but more, he was actually thinking about the girl. I heard that the girl had Although the weakness brought about by the womb is not a serious problem, it has improved a lot over the years, but it is more afraid of the cold than ordinary people.

The young master felt that the climate in central Beijing was colder than that in Yangzhou, and he was afraid that the girl would not be able to bear it when she came to Beijing in the future, so he thought about planning as soon as possible to plan ahead.If not, with the current situation of the young master, he lives in Jia's house every day, so what's the use of it!

And then there's the matter of the carriage.The son also wanted to prepare for the girl in advance.The son likes to ride a horse when he travels, and he rarely uses a carriage.It's just that the son is afraid that the girl's reputation of being squeamish will be used by interested people to make a fuss, so he only says that he is squeamish. "

Situ Kun paused for a moment, then sighed suddenly, "He really bothered about this girl."

"Yes! But from the point of view of my subordinates, Lord Lin and Mrs. Jia may have to take a step back from the way the young master treats his younger sister."

Situ Kun waved Bai Zhi back down, thinking about it in his heart.Turning to ask Dai Quan, "Miss from the Lin family, I remember it's the birthday of the Flower Festival on the twelfth day of February?"

"Your Majesty remembers correctly, exactly."

"Today is the first day of the lunar new year, so there are still ten days left, so I can make it in time. Prepare a gift and send it to Yangzhou."

Dai Quan agreed.

Situ Kun thought for a while, and then asked, "Has little Shiqi entered school?"

Dai Quan was stunned for a long time before realizing that what Situ Kun was asking was the Seventeenth Prince.

The seventeenth prince is Situ Kun's youngest son, or an old man, only six years old.It stands to reason that there should be thousands of favors, but the fact is the opposite.

The birth mother of the Seventeenth Prince is just a court lady.She was still Concubine Zhen's court lady, but she took advantage of Concubine Zhen's favor and climbed onto the dragon bed when Concubine Zhen's menstruation was inconvenient.

Concubine Zhen suffered a heart attack because of this. At that time, the Zhen family was not so rampant in Jiangnan, and the emperor had always been tolerant of Concubine Zhen. Seeing this, he also knew that it was not kind of him to ask for her maid in her palace, so he hastily gave it to a concubine. The title of adopting a girl is over.

But just this once, Li Cainu became pregnant.

Regardless of how many princes are ranked, they are all ranked seventeen.But the number of hands that survived can be counted.Especially the princes in front were all springing up like mushrooms one after another in the years when the emperor was young. Although they were old and young, in fact, apart from the eldest prince, they were not much older than each other.

Since then, there has been no news of pregnancy in the palace for many years.There is joy this time, how can the emperor be unhappy.This proves that he is not old yet!All kinds of rewards come down, and special arrangements are made to wait on them, just for fear that something unexpected will happen to the child.

Unexpectedly, no one can take action against children, but something happened to adults.The court lady who slept with her back then accused her of using medicine on the emperor when she was favored!

The emperor didn't believe it.After all, he has been sitting in this seat for so many years, and he is no longer that young prince. If he can't even look around him, he won't even think about sitting on the throne.

However, Concubine Zhen confessed that Li Cai's daughter's ancestor was an imperial physician and a famous doctor. Because she provided that kind of secret medicine in the case of the first emperor Shi Rongmei, the whole family was convicted. The man died and was exiled.The women all served as official slaves.

Li Cainu was only six years old at that time, and she was also sent to the palace.At the beginning, I did the most tiring work in the Clothes Bureau. Once I delivered clothes to Concubine Zhen, and got favored by Concubine Zhen, so I was transferred to Concubine Zhen.

The emperor checked, and it was true.The family of imperial physicians who can produce the secret medicine that killed Rong Meiren, who knows if there is anything that people can't find out?In particular, several fragments of medical volumes were found in Li Cai's house, which indeed contained prescriptions for this purpose.

And that medicine also shows that it can make men act like wolves and tigers, and it can also increase the chance of women getting pregnant.The emperor recalled that day, but he was stronger than usual, and Li Cainu was pregnant on that day.People have to believe it.

This is really against the emperor's taboo!Being able to use medicine on the emperor, this time only to climb the dragon bed, who knows if he will want the dragon's life next time?

The emperor was furious!Li Cainu was sent to the cold palace, only to die after giving birth to a child.But she couldn't wait until she died, and she died on the spot after giving birth to the seventeenth prince.

But because she committed such a crime, although the emperor kept the child, he never looked at it again.Every time I saw it, I would think what would happen to Li Cainu if he had used poison that day?With such thoughts, where can I wait to see you again?

In this way, the seventeenth prince will become an embarrassing person in the palace, and the maids in the cold palace will take it with him. Even if someone in the other empress wants to show kindness, they may offend Long Yan and cause trouble for the upper body.

As time goes by, the emperor himself may have forgotten that there is such a son.

Dai Quan thought about it, and felt that Situ Kun suddenly remembered at this moment, and it was ridiculous to ask this sentence "I can go to school", but he could only reply respectfully, "No."

Situ Kun fell into deep thought again, and said after a long while: "Six years old, it's time to go to school. Although there are no children of the same age in the palace now, but he is the only one, and he still has to go to school. The prince enters school at the age of six. The rules set by the ancestors. Tell someone to let someone choose a day and send him to the study!"

"Yes!" Dai Quan carefully looked at Situ Kun's face, and said softly, "Your Majesty, do you want to choose a room for His Royal Highness the Seventeenth?"

Since he intends to let him go to school, he can't just let him live in the cold palace all the time, right?

"Concubine De is pure-hearted and has no son or daughter. Write Seventeen under her name and let her raise her."

If Concubine De was also an old man beside Situ Kun, she really got to this position by virtue of her qualifications.The love is much worse than that of the concubine Xian.Fortunately, she has a broad mind, but she enjoys herself.The only regret is that there is no child.

This can be regarded as comforting her heart.

Dai Quan nodded in agreement.

But Situ Kun said again: "You prepare first, I will go to Fengyi Palace and talk to the queen."

After all, this is a major matter in the harem, the empress is the lord of the six palaces, no matter what, she should have an explanation first.

********

Fengyi Palace.

The queen was very surprised after hearing this, "Your Majesty wants to marry a girl from the Lin family in seventeen days?"

After all, it was a young couple who survived the most difficult period in the palace together. As soon as he opened his mouth, the queen knew his purpose.

Situ Kun smiled and nodded, "I have this plan. Let's prepare first, and we'll see later. Ruhai hasn't entered Beijing yet, so I know what the Lin family girl looks like. I don't know what will happen after seventeen. There is no rush, but I will always find a way to tie Lin Yan to the royal family.

I wanted to point him to a princess.Although this dynasty's consort does not hold actual positions but only assumes false titles, it is just a habit that has been passed down for a long time. The royal family does not have this rigid rule, so it is not impossible to make exceptions.But now that the Lin family has intentions with the Shen family, one side is a teacher and the other is a junior, it is not easy for me to be such an ugly person.

What's more, I can see that, if this kid Lin Yan doesn't like it, let him marry a princess. I'm afraid he can really be a display for you.So, my hard work was in vain?It's better to train Seventeen, his age is similar to that of the Lin family's girl, if he can marry the Lin family's girl, Lin Yan's protection of the younger sister will be better than letting him be the princess. "

There was another point that Situ Kun didn't say.

That is 17 years old, and it is not a threat to the current few.And no matter whether it is him or the future superiors, Shi Qi will not be in charge of the real power, and he will only be a happy prince until his death.In this way, Lin Yan can be tied to the royal family, and it can also prevent Seventeen's ambition from messing up the imperial court.

The queen nodded, "Your Majesty is wise! Concubine De is a good person, she is as light as a chrysanthemum, and her heart is as calm as water. No matter what situation she is in, she can always live her life like a flower or a poem. Let her teach Seventeen ,It could not be better."

The words were good, but there was a bit of envy in his tone.Silently, Situ Kun stretched out his hand to grab the queen, "Zitong, I have wronged you. I know you like children too, but..."

It's just that she is the middle palace, no matter who gave birth to the child, if it is raised by her side, it is a legitimate son, which has a natural advantage.Therefore, anyone can raise a prince, but she cannot.

The queen smiled and shook her head, "Your Majesty misunderstood, the concubine is just envious of Concubine De's way of life."

Situ Kun opened his mouth and finally sighed, "I understand, I'm the one who can't help you!"

Although he grew up in the palace, he was taken care of by the Empress Dowager, so he didn't suffer much.No matter how many concubines in the harem, they dare not use them in front of the queen mother.He was raised by the queen mother's side and lived very comfortably.So much so that he didn't understand so many means among women at the beginning.

And the queen was still young at that time, young and ignorant, innocent and innocent.The two of them were young couples, they treated each other sincerely, and they conceived within two months of their newlyweds.Too bad it's gone for another month.Later, there was no more.At this point, how could they not be suspicious.But at that time, the battle for the throne intensified.Prince Yizhong pressed on step by step.

Although he grew up with the empress dowager, before he left the palace, he never had any intention of seizing the heir.

Since the prince was born and established, the position of the crown prince is stable, and there is nothing to fight for.

Besides, the Empress Dowager took pity on him, but she had no intention of disturbing Chao Gang. She never taught him these methods. Instead, she always pampered him, pampered him, and even told him not to mess with the rules, and let him be a prince at ease, rich and safe. Life is good.

But just when he was leaving the palace to build a mansion, the late emperor had doubts about Prince Yizhong, so he pushed him out to fight in the ring without mercy.The most people who go out of the palace to build a mansion are the county king, but he is directly the prince.

He was drawn into the fray unprepared.Aware of this, he began to design in a roundabout way, worshiping Mr. Shen as his teacher, and became brothers with Lin Ruhai.

While thinking about the appearance of pretending to be infatuated with poetry and books, hoping to escape this disaster.On the other hand, he also thought that if Emperor Xian did not change his mind, he would be able to make preparations.

After all, although the Shen family and the Lin family were not prosperous families at that time, they also had a good foundation, and Lin Ruhai and Jia Min were married when they were young, and the Shen family also intended to marry the Jia family.

Jia Daishan holds heavy soldiers in his hands.He couldn't directly have a relationship with Jia Daishan, so he could only do this.It's a pity that he didn't win over Jia Daishan, but unexpectedly got the sincere treatment from Mrs. Shen and Lin Ruhai.

Later, what he was worried about really happened. The first emperor pointed out several powerful courtiers' daughters for him to enter the palace, and the side concubines and concubines were complete.Various methods forced him to fight.He had no choice but to leave Shen's mansion, face a scholar, and enter the imperial court.

But after all, he is not a person like Prince Yizhong who is trained as a prince, and his methods are immature. Under such circumstances, he can't take care of himself, and the queen is planning and planning for him. How can he care about the backyard?

The first time something happened, it was just because I was too tired.Don't dare to slack off the second time.He comforted him in every possible way, but the queen was still puzzled and sad.He could only think about giving her another child.This is the third pregnancy.This time, he and the queen surrounded the main courtyard like an iron bucket.

Unfortunately, due to the previous two injuries, the child has been unstable since conception.They spent a lot of thought, but they couldn't keep it.On the contrary, the queen has to be unable to conceive again.

Situ Kun's expression was gloomy, and it was just the last time.Even if he didn't find out who did it the first two times, he still wanted to find out, he was no more than those few, and Prince Yizhong didn't want him to give birth to a son.Or maybe both.

But what if you know?Prince Yizhong is gone.And the women in the backyard are the few in today's palace.It is impossible to say that he has no points in his heart.But even knowing that Concubine Shu is the most suspect, he can't touch her for the time being.

Because he has to think about the eldest prince, now is not the time to knock down the eldest prince.

Situ Kun sighed and took the Queen into his arms.

He felt ashamed, but he could only feel sorry for the queen.

The author has something to say: The emperor is a scum!Always love yourself, only for yourself.Even the love and guilt for others is only a little bit.

Don't worry, it's okay, the emperor will be changed later.The third prince will take over.

This article is expected to be a bit long.Don't worry, everyone.

In addition, no matter who Daiyu marries, the ending must be good!Don't doubt, I am my own mother!
