Chapter 71 Spices

After Concubine Lin came back from the temple, she began to ask Song Yan to stay overnight according to the rules of the palace. Song Yan disagreed, and Concubine Lin made a fuss in front of the old concubine, completely disregarding face. Aunt Yu and Yu Fei silently agreed, the old concubine Putting pressure on Song Yan, the most unexpected thing is that Aunt Xiao is also on Concubine Lin's side.

Yu Cheng felt more and more that Aunt Xiao had a lot of secrets that people couldn't see through at all. Song Yan had someone stare at Aunt Xiao, but he didn't notice any other abnormalities. Detained in the mansion, claiming to the outside world that Aunt Xiao made a mistake, she was thrown into a dungeon, and the prince wants to execute Aunt Xiao."

Song Yan said: "The princess doesn't value my king's reputation like that?"

"General Xiao probably won't abandon Aunt Xiao. Maybe it will be effective. If it doesn't work, then prove it to the outside world. Everything is just a rumor, and the fact is what it is." Yu Cheng analyzed.

"You can try the method, and by the way, you can know who the servants in the palace are loyal to." Song Yan said.

If this news is to be spread, the most important thing is that the people in the palace must be able to keep the secret. Yu Cheng is afraid that it will be difficult to do so, but Song Yan thinks it is easy. After the ban, Aunt Xiao moved freely in the palace. Many people in the palace didn't get any news from outside, so they didn't even know about this incident.

And people outside can't get the news from the palace, and they can't know the authenticity of the news. With Song Yan's order, it's much easier to implement. Song Yan's subordinates are all capable, and the news spread quickly. It sounds like It's really hard to doubt, with General Xiao's taint, it is reasonable for the prince to deal with Aunt Xiao.

The news had spread for several days, but there was no movement from General Xiao. Song Yan was afraid that the news would not be enough to attract General Xiao, so he asked someone to release the news that Aunt Xiao was pregnant with a young son, and now the palace cannot accommodate his mother and child. The position is for Aunt Xiao's little son.

The news is tempting enough. If General Xiao does not come forward to rescue Aunt Xiao, Aunt Xiao will have to die with her young son. What a surprise, Xiao Shizi is the only child of the prince in this world, the position of prince belongs to Xiao Shizi, and Xiao Shizi is held in the hands of General Xiao.

Some other people came up with the idea of ​​saving Aunt Xiao, and the temptation of Xiaoshizi was enough for them to fight. Distant relatives of Aunt Xiao's family appeared one after another, asking the prince to let Aunt Xiao go, otherwise they would hand over Aunt Xiao. Take Aunt Xiao out of the palace.

This request is impossible to hear, and they don't have the ability to negotiate terms. What they want is that they do this so that Aunt Xiao knows, and the little prince in her stomach knows, thinking of their kindness today. .

Concubine Lin was the first person in the palace to know the news. Concubine Lin did not take all the rumors seriously, but the fact that Aunt Xiao was pregnant made Concubine Lin almost lose her mind, but it didn't get any better. , just looking for the prince, and making a big fuss.

Concubine Lin said sharply: "The lord doesn't want to have sex with us. I know that the lord likes men, but the lord secretly made Aunt Xiao pregnant, allowing an aunt to get pregnant with a child, or the future son. Isn't the prince afraid that the little prince will be laughed at after he is born? There is a mother who is an aunt, and a grandfather who is notorious."

Song Yan said in a deep voice, "You don't need to question this matter here."

"Does the lord dislike concubines that much?" Concubine Lin cried and said, "The concubine has worked so hard to take care of her body in order to be able to conceive the lord's child. , first gave up the position of the princess, thinking that the princess is a man, and the position of this little prince can fall on the child of a concubine, but how did the prince do it? When he agreed to give up the position of the princess, Mother also comforted the concubine, she will not wrong the concubine."

"I don't know what mother promised, and I haven't promised anything." Song Yan said lightly: "You entered the palace, and you have been letting you make trouble. This king has never said anything about you. You have been wronged, but don't look at it. When you entered the mansion, it was the Lin family who used so many means and thought to get married with the prince. It was your Lin family who voluntarily suffered this wronged. Let your mother and father have face in the Lin family, don't care about these at all, after entering the palace, they are also planning for their mother's family wholeheartedly."

Song Yan also said a little angrily: "The position of the young prince is not something that you can decide in private, it has to be approved by the king, but now the king does not agree, no matter who gave birth to the child, it is impossible to be the young prince. "

"Can't the lord take pity on the concubine?" Concubine Lin was crying so hard she said, "Although the Lin family is the natal family of the concubine, the moment she marries into the palace, the concubine is the prince's person and is no longer a daughter of the Lin family. , the Lin family is the natal family that the concubine can't go back to. If the prince doesn't pity the concubine, the concubine will be a grass without roots, and it will go wherever the wind blows. She doesn't even have a home of her own. The prince still wants to let the concubine guard her. Widowed for a lifetime, I don't need to be a little prince, but the prince should just treat me as a poor concubine? If I can give birth to a child, I will have something to look forward to."

"Impossible." Song Yan said: "The child of this king will not find a life casually. Mother will always leave before this king. At that time, this king will live with the princess for the rest of his life. There is no need to mention the matter of having children. , this king will not agree."

Concubine Lin revealed a desperate look, and muttered, "My lord is so ruthless."

"It is you who want to live a prosperous life, and you have to pay the price." Song Yan turned his back and said: "Although the Lin family is your natal family, it is more ruthless than this king. Live your own life in the future. The affairs of the Lin family If you don’t want to touch it, don’t touch it, this king is clear about the matter, and will not take you off just because the Lin family is dissatisfied with your behavior, and let the Lin family do whatever they want, and you will be safe in the palace.”

Concubine Lin raised her head, completely desperate for the prince. No matter it was the beauty and tenderness or the kindness of years of love, she could not get half a sympathy in front of the prince. Concubine Lin stopped begging the prince and got up and went back to her house. The dreams were all shattered, and Concubine Lin was locked in the room and cried for several days.

The news about Concubine Lin going to make trouble spread in the palace, and the news spread quickly. Song Yan and Yucheng realized that something was wrong. After spending a lot of money and connections, a little girl who spread the news died for no reason. It was not found out that it was a homicide, but she died by falling into the water by slipping.

Yu Cheng was sweating coldly on his back. He killed a little girl in her teens just for a piece of news. It was too cruel. Yu Cheng didn't want to believe that Concubine Lin did it. No matter how ruthless Concubine Lin is, there is no need to do it herself. To kill a little girl.

General Xiao didn't come out to make trouble, but the inner courtyard of the palace first broke out. The old concubine was crying like hell, Song Yan bowed her head without saying a word, but she was unwilling to change herself. She was talking dry and shed tears, but she couldn't move. During the time of Song Yan, the old princess started a hunger strike, and she had a different insistence on having a baby.

Song Yan talked with the old concubine behind closed doors for a day, and finally the old concubine let go of her tiredness. Everything was up to the prince to like, and he began to eat from time to time, but he seemed to be getting old all of a sudden. In matters, how did he persuade the old princess.

Aunt Xiao was indifferent to everything, and everyone in the palace knew about the rumors outside, and Aunt Xiao did not show any surprise at all. She was not affected by Concubine Lin and the old concubine's troubles. It was Aunt Yu who was affected. After knowing what the prince said, Aunt Yu also knew that she could not seduce the prince with beauty and emotion. The methods that a woman should have are useless to the prince.

Seeing the reality clearly, they didn't waste time on this aspect. Concubine Lin didn't give up on the matter of having a small son, but told the Lin family about it, and detailed her life in the palace for the past few years. I hope The Lin family can figure out a way.

The Lin family was very anxious, and finally sent their daughter to the palace, but in the end it was nothing. No one was reconciled. On the surface, the Lin family was an heir of poetry and books, but there were many methods in the interior, and all the people who paid attention were men, so Concubine Lin did not resist too much when she received the letter from the Lin family. There was still a packet of spices in the letter.

Concubine Lin made a great determination to achieve it no matter what.

Song Yan felt a lot more relaxed. After everyone knew about it, Song Yan lost a layer of worries, and he was able to deal with Yu Chengcheng even more. Yu Cheng sighed in his heart, and he didn't know when he would die. How long, how long it can be tolerated, no one can guarantee, and Yu Cheng has not fully accepted it in his heart, and if he can delay it, he will definitely not follow Song Yan's wishes.

General Xiao could not be found, Song Yan began to stay at home, guessing General Xiao's thoughts every day, Yu Cheng would sometimes go to the yard to grow vegetables, or go to the study to read some books, and sometimes he would be bored in a daze, looking at the distant Concubine Lin walked around the yard when she had nothing to do. After half a month of observation, she learned about Song Yan's daily life.

This afternoon, Yu Cheng was sitting on the rockery in the courtyard in a daze. Concubine Lin went into Song Yan's room alone. Yan frowned, Concubine Lin put down her teacup and stood aside, Song Yan didn't say anything to drive people away, and continued with what she was doing.

After a while, Song Yan felt hot all over his body and was still sweating. He glanced at the closed window. Song Yan went to open it to let the outside wind blow in and cool it down a bit, but it was useless. It was still very hot. It flowed all over the body, and all went to the lower body. Song Yan looked at Concubine Lin and said coldly: "Where does this fragrance come from?"

Concubine Lin didn't make a sound, just stood aside, lowered her head, as if she didn't see or hear, Song Yan simply waved her hands to leave, at this moment Concubine Lin suddenly went over to hug Song Yan, Song Yan struggled, Concubine Lin resorted to The strength of breastfeeding is to not let go, Song Yan can shake off Concubine Lin, but Concubine Lin's arm will be broken, Song Yan still thinks of some affection.

Concubine Lin's face was full of tears, she raised her head and said, "My lord, just once, if God doesn't want this concubine to conceive a child, I will admit it."

"Let go." Song Yan said with a dark face: "Even after using these methods, it seems that the Lin family really can't wait."

"It's the concubine who wants a child." Concubine Lin started to take off her clothes regardless, crying and laughing, and said, "The prince's men are guarding outside, as long as the prince will open the door and go out, the concubine's body will be covered by these people." The subordinates looked at it, and the concubine was able to die to keep her innocence."

"I'm so confused." Song Yan was feeling hot and uncomfortable, but he didn't want to go out, so he took a few deep breaths and said, "Having a child, can we live happily ever after?"

"I don't even have a child. I live like a living dead in the palace. It's better to die." Concubine Lin was about to take off all her clothes.

Song Yan stood still, closed his eyes and said: "It's up to you, everything that needs to be said has been said, whether you want to die or live, you can decide for yourself."

"Concubine Lin said in disbelief: "Isn't the prince uncomfortable?The concubine is here, why should the lord endure it, won't the lord not understand if more children are more blessings?The concubine's child is also the prince's child. "

Song Yan shook Concubine Lin's hand, went to the door and stood still, turned her back to Concubine Lin and said, "I'll give you a choice now, life or death?"

Concubine Lin knelt down, shrunk her naked body, and shouted in despair: "My lord."

"If it was the concubine standing here, this king would have been unable to bear it long ago." Song Yan said: "Don't you still understand? It's not that the spices are useless, but that the person is wrong. When I face you at this time, why should I still be in the wrong place?" If you can rationally let you choose, why bother to make life difficult for yourself.”

Concubine Lin hugged her body and wept bitterly. Song Yan was waiting. The sound of the servant girl walking at the door, Concubine Lin's cry was loud, which had already attracted the attention of people outside the house. Concubine Lin only cried for a while, stood up, Slowly put on clothes, raised her head like a queen, walked past Song Yan, opened the door, eyes red and swollen with tears, after seeing the sun, stretched out her hands uncomfortably, and walked out of the door. Everything in her life will be a thing of the past, all wishful thinking, all dreams of prosperity and wealth, and the hopes of the Lin family will all be in vain, as warm as this sunshine but cannot be occupied.

After Concubine Lin returned to the house, she began to write a letter to the Lin family, expressing her own thoughts, and briefly wrote about what happened this time. Concubine Lin could no longer be used by the Lin family. Regardless of Concubine Lin's feelings, it is impossible for the Lin family to have another chance to send their daughter into the palace, even if it is changed, they will not give up Concubine Lin, nor let Concubine Lin give up. The Lin family cannot afford to lose Lin Concubine. The concubine is a pawn.

The Lin family is low and strong, and they have some achievements in reading, and only a few achievements. There is no one who can fully support the Lin family. The Lin family may be squeezed away by people in the same industry at any time. Yes, not to mention making a fortune, but even the family property can't be maintained. Concubine Lin is in the palace. As long as she is the prince's woman and a concubine for a day, other people will not dare to touch the Lin family easily. The Lin family can't find a better one. With his backer, forbearance and low-key also put an end to the greed of many others.

Concubine Lin sneered, if in the past, when there was still hope, Concubine Lin would definitely let the Lin family come up with another idea, but now, Concubine Lin is completely hopeless, she does not hold any hope in the palace, let a person whose heart is completely dead , if you try harder?

Concubine Lin's reply letter was very decisive. Concubine Lin wanted to leave her last dignity to live the rest of her life in the palace. This was the first time Concubine Lin's pride was living for herself.

The Lin family didn't write back to Concubine Lin, so Concubine Lin didn't care anymore, gorgeous clothes, exquisite jewelry, delicious snacks, no more scruples, Concubine Lin did all the things she liked before but dared not do because of her status , don't care about Song Yan's preferences, don't need to please the old concubine, don't care about status, but be dignified and generous, and don't deliberately control food intake for the sake of appearance and figure.

But Song Yan came to the well after Concubine Lin left and flushed the well water for two hours before stopping to rest. Yu Cheng stood not far away and said, "I didn't expect you to endure it."

"The princess hopes that the king will not bear it? Or do you hope that the king will not come to the cold water, but go directly to the princess to get angry?" Song Yan teased.

"If you dare to be tough, you won't see me the next day." Yu Cheng said seriously.

"The king will wait until the concubine volunteers." Song Yan said with a slight twitch of the corner of his mouth: "If you want to use force, the king will have consummated the marriage with the concubine a long time ago, and I won't wait until now."

Yu Cheng believed what Song Yan said, Song Yan was just giving him time, confident that there was still a long time in his life, and he was not in a hurry, Yu Cheng said flatly: "Hurry up and change clothes, don't catch a cold."

"The concubine still loves me dearly." Song Yan said: "The spices brought by Concubine Lin are not simple, and I have to flush the well water to get rid of the fire."

Yu Cheng didn't say a word, watching Song Yan pouring buckets of water on his body, his ears still blushing, Yu Cheng told the servant girl, "Go and prepare ginger soup."

Hong'er and Lu'er were shocked for a long time after knowing that Concubine Lin failed to seduce the prince, and discussed privately: "Concubine Lin has completely changed after this failure, and she probably gave up completely."

Lu'er finally felt a little uneasy, and said, "What should we do? Even Concubine Lin has given up, and Concubine Yuce seems even more hopeless."

"I can't just give up like this. The days ahead are still long. Concubine Lin can give up. She has the self-esteem of the Lin family. We are servants. Our lives are worthless. There is no way out." Hong'er twisted the handkerchief in her hand Said: "The prince can't succeed when he is awake. If the prince is confused, we will start again and let the princess of Yu side change into the clothes of the princess, so that the prince can't tell for a while. There is always a possibility of success."

"It's too dangerous." Lu'er said with fear in her heart: "The prince is not a person who will take pity on, no matter who he is, he won't give it to anyone. The princess can be favored by the prince, but she can't get too many benefits for Princess Uce , if the prince knows that we plan to harm him, he will either kill us or sell us, it will be even worse than now."

"Stupid." Hong'er scolded: "As long as we don't say anything, if the lord becomes ruthless and blames all the crimes on Princess Uce, we can still escape for a while, and maybe we can stay by the princess's side to serve. It's much better to stay with Princess Yuzai."

"Is that okay?" Lu'er asked cautiously.

"With me here." Hong'er said, "If you endure until the end, you will be successful."

Hong'er was talking about the eighteenth aunt of the Yu family. The eighteenth aunt had watched over until the day she turned around. Eighth Aunt's face acted.

As long as Hong'er thinks of Aunt Eighteen, she will have the confidence to persevere. If they don't have any hope, they don't even have the purpose of living.

When the maids reach a certain age, they can marry the long-term workers in the mansion according to the master's preferences. If the master has no intention, if the maids sell themselves, they will be unmarried for the rest of their lives. To some men who can't get wives.

Princess Yuxi became even more silent. Everything in the palace was unfamiliar to Princess Yuxi. In Yufei's perception, these things should not happen. Yufei went to find Yucheng. After talking, Yufei first Once she took the initiative to look for Yu Cheng, Yu Fei felt very uneasy, and sat there for a long time before saying: "Princess is all right."

Yu Cheng smiled and said with a smile: "It's okay, Concubine Lin likes to make trouble, everyone knows it, and she won't come at me openly, but sister, be careful of Aunt Yu, Aunt Yu has no principles in her work, anyone can get involved, The failure of the Yu family made Aunt Yu go crazy, so when my sister sees Aunt Yu, she should stay away, and there is no need to make trouble with her."

Yu Cheng couldn't help nagging, he was in a good mood, Yu Fei was able to take the initiative to talk to him, and the first thing he said was caring, Yu Cheng felt that his sister was still the old sister, and still cared about him.

Yu Fei nodded slightly and said: "Usually, I would try to stay out of the house if I have nothing to do. I used to hide from Aunt Yu at Yu's house, and it was the same in the Wangfu. safe."

Yu Cheng was relieved, and changed the subject: "Did you like everything you bought at the monastery last time?"

Yu Fei smiled slightly and said, "I like them all. I gave some to the maid, and put the rest in the room. I'll take them out to have a look when I have nothing to do."

"I bought some dried fruit and still haven't finished eating. If my sister likes it, I can bring some to eat. If I have eaten something but think it tastes good, I can ask my servants to buy it again, or go to the temple to offer incense. , just go shopping."

"No need." Yu Fei said nervously: "People in the inner courtyard can't go out casually, and they need the prince's permission, just to buy some gadgets and food, it's very unruly."

"Let the servants buy it." Yu Cheng said, "I remember that my sister likes to drink tofu nao. Not every place can make the same tofu nao. The tofu nao in the temple is famous."

"If it doesn't bother you, just buy some." Yu Fei said, "Everyone likes to eat it, so it's good to share it with everyone."

"Okay." Yu Cheng said with a brisk smile, "Buy some dim sum too. The crystal cake is pretty good, pretty and delicious."

Yu Fei smiled lightly and said, "I just know how to eat."

The two siblings laughed. It had been a long time since they sat down and talked and laughed. Yu Cheng pestered Yu Fei to stay and eat together. Today, Song Yan was not in the mansion and entered the palace. They all stayed in the inner courtyard and were very bored. Feeling that time flies, Yucheng took Yufei to see the vegetables he had grown, and Yufei suggested to make some snacks for Yucheng to appreciate, whether the craftsmanship has improved in these days.

In order to keep Yucheng busy, Song Yan built a kitchen in the pool for Yucheng to cook. He can make some new dishes in the kitchen even if he has nothing to do. Yufei didn’t come in because Yucheng was using it. It turns out that the kitchen is well-prepared, and there are ingredients for everything you want to cook.
