On the tenth day of September, a good day, the queen's canonization ceremony.

Lin Daiyu was dressed in a beautiful silver-white phoenix robe. Surrounded by countless maidservants and palace servants, she meandered into the palace, only to see the emperor Xuanming in a grand dragon robe, valiantly welcoming her on the central seat in the Hall of Central Harmony, his eyebrows frowned. The heroic spirit and joy in the room are like the gods in the sky, welcoming him to ascend to the immortal.

At this time, in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, all criminals from the Jia, Wang, and Xue families had to bow their heads and plead guilty in front of witnesses and material evidence.Over the years, relying on their own power, most of the crimes they committed were capital crimes. In addition, it was the Empress Empress who attacked them this time, so the Ministry of Punishment did not give a lighter sentence, and most of them were beheaded at noon.

After the verdict was passed, the sinners in the prison wailed, and just when they thought they were doomed to die, another imperial decree came, saying: The new empress grants amnesty to the world.However, the person involved in the old case of the Lin family committed a heinous crime, and all the people were sent to the frontier as needed to be slaves for life.

Later, Lin Daiyu heard that Xue Baochai and Xue Baoqin encountered bandits on the way to their marriage, and they were about to plunder their sisters to become Mrs. Yazhai. She was exhausted and couldn't run anymore, so Xue Baoqin left her and fled into the forest alone.Xue Baochai died of hunger and cold in the heavy snow, and Xue Baoqin didn't know where to end up. The snow in this forest and the hungry wolves are probably bad luck.Later, I heard that Mrs. Wang, Aunt Xue and others died before reaching the frontier.

It turned out that Xuanming rested in the Hall of Mental Cultivation during the night when Lin Daiyu was canonized.Tired of all the red tape, Lin Daiyu took off her heavy makeup, put on homely clothes and lay down on the dragon couch. Xuan Ming hugged her feet and gently kneaded them, and asked softly and with a smile, "The result of the old case of Lin's family?" It has just been submitted, and I would like to ask the Empress for instructions: Is it a heavy sentence or a light sentence?"

Lin Daiyu let out a breath and said, "Are they all pleading guilty?"

"Gu has pleaded guilty."

"Since you have pleaded guilty, you will receive a lighter sentence."

"If there is a heavy sentence, they will bully the emperor's relatives, and they will commit the next crime, which will implicate the whole family. A light sentence will also make the criminal a slave and exile to the frontier. I will let Xu go in and do it tomorrow morning."

Lin Daiyu felt relieved.Then I heard Xuanming say: "The happy event is not limited to today's one, the queen is short of spirit today, how about I tell you tomorrow?"

Lin Daiyu knew that she was teasing herself, so she begged Xuan Ming to speak quickly.Xuan Ming whispered in Lin Daiyu's ear: "After taking the pulse today, the imperial doctor reported to me that the empress is pregnant with a dragon heir."

Lin Daiyu didn't believe it at first, she only believed that Xuan Ming was making fun of herself, but later she thought about how exhausted she had been in the past two months, so she believed it a little bit.Seeing that Xuanming ordered the maids to change into pure cotton and silk quilts and brocade couches, even Lin Daiyu's daily necessities were completely changed, and even the spices were replaced with colorless and odorless soothing incense, Lin Daiyu believed it completely.The two were preparing to rest affectionately, but at this moment a personal eunuch came to convey: "The imperial concubine of the Western Regions has something important to ask the emperor."

When Xuan Ming heard this, his expression sank, but he said softly to Lin Daiyu: "Yu'er, rest first, don't wait for me."

After that, he got up and went.

No matter how magnanimous Lin Daiyu was, Xuan Ming would still feel uncomfortable being summoned by another woman on such a night of intercourse.But Gu Nian's fetus needs to be recuperated, so he had to force himself not to think too much, so as not to lose his mind and fall asleep until the third watch.

On the second day, concubines from various palaces came to pay homage.Headed by Shi Xiangyun, Jia Yingchun, who had been stripped of the title of imperial concubine, and concubines and female officials from various palaces came to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to give Lin Daiyu a big gift.Lin Daiyu ordered them to lie down, sat down for a while and chatted some gossip, but she really didn't have the energy to deal with them, so she let them go.But Shi Xiangyun stayed behind and said to Lin Daiyu: "The concubine didn't expect Xue Baochai to do such a thing to the empress. The Wang family, the Xue family, and the Jia family have all fallen, and the empress has revenge this time."

Lin Daiyu smiled wryly and said: "So what? They just brought the blame on themselves. It's a pity that the people who were killed can't be resurrected no matter what."

Shi Xiangyun was embarrassed, and also sneered, and said: "The concubine heard that the emperor spent the night in the Xingxiu Palace of the imperial concubine of the Western Regions yesterday. Yesterday was a good day for the empress. I don't think the emperor is not in the Hall of Mental Cultivation?"

Lin Daiyu knew that Shi Xiangyun hadn't forgotten her hatred of seizing love, and deliberately came to ridicule her.Because I have always felt guilty about this matter before, I don’t blame Shi Xiangyun for his attitude, so I said softly: "Sister Yun... Actually, I have always owed you... There has been the hatred of killing your father and taking your wife since ancient times. "Together with God", I took away your love, so naturally I cannot ask for your forgiveness. But I, Lin Daiyu, have been lonely all my life, and my loved ones around me either died or wanted me to die. I think I really have a bad luck. Now I still want to try to ask my sister: Are you willing to forget those grievances and become sisters with me again? I will repay you with all my heart!..."

Shi Xiangyun didn't expect that Lin Daiyu, who had reached the pinnacle, would be a little fuzz. He said such words to himself, and he was really heartbroken, and laughed twice loudly: "Ha!—ha!——How do you want me to forget? Let me do it every day. Seeing that you two love each other every day, do you still pretend to be sisters with you? I can't do that insidiously! I guess Xue Baochai can't do that when he comes back, right?" After saying this, tears welled up in his eyes, and he walked away.

Shi Xiangyun, who returned to the Pillow Xia Palace, couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion—the four major families of Jia, Shi, Wang, and Xue have already been wiped out, and only my historian is still barely supporting it. This is thanks to Lin Daiyu's four words: " Punish lightly."Otherwise, how could my historian not be punished?Just now Lin Daiyu said those words again, how can I hate her no matter how hard-hearted I am?

While thinking, he opened the sandalwood-carved brocade box, which was given to him by Mountain Jade, and those shady letters between Xuanming and Jia Yuanchun when he was not enthroned.If these letters were published to the world, although Xuan Ming would not be able to completely remove him from the throne, it would also make it recorded in the annals that Xuan Ming's ascension to the throne was "unjustified and unsatisfactory".I have already decided to join forces with Mountain Yu to take revenge on Xuanming and Lin Daiyu, halfway through, how can I be soft-hearted and give up this matter halfway?Even if he wanted to back down, how could Mountain Jade let him go?

For a while, Shi Xiangyun was full of worries, and he didn't know how to solve it.

Let's say that Lin Daiyu over there has been restless since Xuanming left the Hall of Mental Cultivation last night to go to the palace of the imperial concubine of the Western Regions.For a while, I thought about what Shi Xiangyun said, and for a while, I thought about what others said about the beauty of the imperial concubine of the Western Regions, and how to get the emperor's favor. I was restless, so I had to ask Xiaobai to lay down a pen and paper, and copy the Diamond Sutra to soothe my nerves.I don't want to be so absent-minded for a month! ——Xuanming actually stayed in the palace of the imperial concubine of the Western Regions for a month, and Lin Daiyu had never seen Longyan face to face!

During this period, eunuchs were often sent to deliver exquisite pastries and supplements, such as sweet-scented osmanthus root powder steamed with sweet-scented osmanthus juice, and rock sugar cakes made from crystal autumn pears, all of which were carved into the shape of roses, dotted with a little hibiscus pollen , will also send some good blood bird's nest.Knowing that Lin Daiyu is afraid of the cold in winter, she found a hotbed of warm jade. Such a large piece of whole jade has a warm color and smooth water head. It feels very warm to the touch in the cold autumn weather. thing.

But no matter how beautiful these things are, what good are they?

After all, Lin Daiyu never met Xuanming, who had been accompanying the imperial concubine of the Western Regions all these days.

"Could it be that the emperor's heart is unpredictable, and they are all people who like the new and hate the old, so Xuanming is also unavoidable?" Lin Daiyu's heart gradually became cold, and she sank into the abyss day by day, but she couldn't let her body Depressed, afraid of affecting the child in the womb, I can only reluctantly support Xiaobai, Xiaomo, Hongzhu, Fangru and others to pass the day, and the pain in my heart can only be deeply buried.Xiaobai and the others also knew Lin Daiyu's suffering, but they couldn't explain it clearly. They could only try their best to help Lin Daiyu through this difficult time.

In a blink of an eye, three months have passed since the canonization ceremony, and Lin Daiyu still hasn't seen Xuan Ming. It was rumored in the former harem that the new queen fell out of favor as soon as she sat on the phoenix throne, even if she was pregnant with a dragon heir, it was useless.It seems that the future successor must belong to the imperial concubine of the Western Regions...

Just when Lin Daiyu felt that her heart was dead, she suddenly heard a message from the eunuch outside the palace: "The emperor is here!"
