The Fate of the Red Chamber
Chapter 41: Face Saint
On the second day, before Mo Han entered the palace to meet him, an old eunuch wearing fourth-rank eunuch uniform came to deliver the Queen Mother's decree to summon the brothers and sisters of the Lin family.
Mo Han had been reminded by Princess Ning'an long ago, and knew that this person was Eunuch Wei, a celebrity in front of the Empress Dowager, so he should not neglect him, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "Eunuch does not know, my sister went to Beijing yesterday, the road was bumpy and windy and cold, It would be bad if I let the empress dowager or other nobles in the palace get angry. Why don't I just go and apologize to the empress dowager alone, and when Rishemei recovers, I will go to the palace to pay her respects to the empress dowager."
While speaking, Little Six had cleverly handed a 1000 tael bank note to Eunuch Wei. Eunuch Wei immediately burst into laughter when he saw the number on it: "It's human nature for the prince to love his sister, but the empress dowager The slaves there are not easy to explain, and I think the prince will be considerate if he tells the truth to the empress."
Eunuch Wei is the Queen Mother's confidant, so he naturally knows a thing or two about the Queen Mother's inner thoughts. Right now, the Lin family still has something to offer, so it's better not to offend him, not to mention that the Lin family is so polite and interesting.
In this way, Mo Han followed Eunuch Wei into the palace alone, and as soon as the people here left, someone went behind to report to Daiyu.
Daiyu knew that it was her elder brother who was protecting her, and she was moved and worried. She didn't know what to do with her elder brother's departure, so she hurriedly sent a clever servant to wait at the gate of the palace, and report back whenever there was news.
Although this imperial palace is not as big as the Forbidden City in Beijing, but how bad is Tianjia's place, Mo Han started to watch it seriously.
Eunuch Wei led the way, and secretly admired Mo Han. Regardless of his young age, this kind of courage is not something ordinary people can have. The rest of the people who entered the palace for the first time were not trembling and did not dare to take a second look. Treat the palace as a landscape.No wonder the queen mother is so jealous of the Lin family. A young master is so powerful. Back then, the queen mother suffered a lot from the Lin family.
In Xuanhui Palace, the Empress Dowager and the Emperor were chatting homely, waiting for the Lin brothers and sisters to arrive.The emperor came to the throne as a young man and relied on his mother for everything. Now he is a bit older, but the power in the court is all in the hands of the queen mother. Naturally, he respects the queen mother and asks the queen mother to make decisions on many court affairs.What's more, the emperor didn't have much ability at all, so he was happy to be a nominal emperor at ease, playing around with beauties all day long.The queen mother knew it, but she didn't persuade her.
Mo Han put away the expression on his face, knelt down and kowtowed in fear, but he hated such a rule in his heart, thinking that he might have to kowtow every day in the future was really depressing.
"You are Lin Mohan. Where's your sister? Why don't you see me?" The queen mother didn't call out, but asked a little sternly.
"Returning to the Empress Dowager, Sister She has worked hard all the way. She fell ill after arriving in Beijing yesterday. I was afraid that I would offend the Empress and the Holy One, so I made the decision not to bring her here. Please punish the Empress Dowager." Mo Hanqiang He endured and straightened his waist and lowered his head.
"Oh, that's it. Forget it. You also love your sister, what's your fault? Get up." The Queen Mother knew that such a trivial matter is still unstoppable, and besides, she still wanted to use the Lin family.
"Thank you, Majesty, for your innocence." After finishing speaking, Mo Han got up, standing on the ground without looking up.
Looking at this figure, Lin Mohan's appearance is not bad, the emperor became interested: "Raise your head, let me have a look."
Mo Han had no choice but to raise his head according to his words. He knew how handsome he was, so he wasn't afraid at this moment. One was the fifty-year-old empress, and the other was the male emperor. He wouldn't be fascinated by him, right? Laugh at yourself secretly.
Who would have thought that the emperor would be a man and woman? When he saw that Mo Han was not only extremely handsome, but also had a rare heroism. He was much cuter than those little eunuchs, and he immediately fell in love with him.He asked with a smile, "How old are you this year?"
"Long live, I'm seventeen this year." Mo Han was a little terrified when he saw the emperor's disgusting smile, and thought to himself that he wouldn't be so unlucky.After thinking about it, I realized that it was right not to let Daiyu come with me today, and I should be more careful in the future. I know my sister's beauty best in my heart, even if the country is beautiful, it is nothing more than that, and I must not let others see it easily.
"I'm one year older than you. Now that you have been crowned the king of the county, queen mother, do you think it's time to reward a palace? I remember that the palace of Yizhong prince is still empty." The Prince Yizhong's Mansion closest to the palace was rewarded to Mo Han, and it was much more convenient to go out to see him.
The Queen Mother didn't know anything about her son, but it was the Prince's Mansion, and she was not sure about this Lin Mohan, it would be bad if he was a powerful one.
Mo Han didn't dare to answer, and hurriedly declined: "I would like to thank the Holy Majesty and the Empress Dowager for their kindness, but the Lin family already has a mansion in the capital, so there is no need to make any more alarms. I have already felt guilty for being conferred without merit, if I win the Holy Majesty again He and your empress's heavy rewards, don't they treat the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty who have made great achievements for the country. I also ask the Holy One to take it back."
"Prince Cheng En is right. It won't be too late to reward him after he has made meritorious service. Qin Tianjian has already chosen a date, seven days later will be a good day, and the brother and sister of the Lin family will be canonized on that day. What does the emperor think?"
"Everything can be decided by the queen mother." The emperor is not very interested in this kind of thing, as long as he remembers to remind him to attend that day.
The Queen Mother nodded in satisfaction, turned her head to Mo Han and asked casually: "Ai Jia was in a trance and heard that you entered Beijing with Princess Ning'an. It's a coincidence."
"Returning to your mother, Wei Chen and his party encountered a frozen river in Shandong. When they were in trouble, they happened to meet the princess' son-in-law and others, so they attached themselves to the capital where they entered. Otherwise, it may take many days to get there." Mo Mo Han thought that what he said was the truth, even if he went to check it, the result was the same.
The Empress Dowager naturally knew all this long ago, stroking her long nails, and smiled lightly: "Oh, so that's it. There's nothing else to do, you can go. The Ministry of Internal Affairs will tell you about trivial matters."
The Empress Dowager is a few years younger than Princess Ning'an, maybe she is too hardworking, she looks older than the Princess, and her graceful temperament is not as good.Mo Han secretly slandered, could it be that the Queen Mother didn't like the princess so much, and another reason was that she thought the princess was born more beautiful than himself, well, it's very possible.
The emperor was somewhat reluctant to part with Mo Han, thinking that he is really a beauty.
When Mo Han left the palace, in order to avoid Daiyu's worries, he didn't sit in the sedan chair, and rode back to Lin's mansion.It's just that he didn't know that a large group of people had arrived at the Lin residence at this time.
Mo Han had been reminded by Princess Ning'an long ago, and knew that this person was Eunuch Wei, a celebrity in front of the Empress Dowager, so he should not neglect him, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "Eunuch does not know, my sister went to Beijing yesterday, the road was bumpy and windy and cold, It would be bad if I let the empress dowager or other nobles in the palace get angry.
