Seeing Sikong Yu's deflated look and Empress Lin not responding, Eunuch He couldn't help grinning. "Young Master Sikong, the emperor has ordered that no one should disturb the queen's rest. This plum garden is the back garden of Donglai Palace. If you came here, those who didn't know thought you were deliberately resisting the order."

Sikong Yu took half a step back in fright, and said in horror: "No, that's not the case! I just heard that the emperor loves plum blossoms..."

"You've explained it just now." Yu Sheng said bluntly, "You said it again, do you think we are deaf or stupid and can't understand human speech?"

Sikong Yu was completely speechless.

Empress Lin closed her eyes, as if she felt that she was completely out of sight, "Go back to the palace."

Yu Sheng rolled his eyes at Sikong Yu with the standard of a vicious villain, and followed Lin Hou and turned back to the palace.Empress Lin didn't take Sikong Yu seriously, but she talked less on the way back than before.Yu Sheng talked about Shi Wei's story, which brought Empress Lin's attention back.

"This Mr. Shi has great righteousness in his heart, and he is admirable." Lin Hou said, "You just said that there are only two girls left in the Shi family?"

"Yes, Wei Lan brought them back to the capital, placed them in the other courtyard of the Yan Mansion, and sent a lot of people to take care of them. The two girls of the Shi family can at least live comfortably for the rest of their lives, and don't need to be displaced. "

Empress Lin sighed, "It's so good."

When the two returned to Donglai Palace, the eunuch of Qinzheng Palace sent a message that Duke Yi was left by the emperor to discuss political affairs, and there would be a delay.

Empress Lin was a little tired, so Eunuch He helped him to lie down on the soft bed, and then covered him with a blanket.Empress Lin asked Yu Sheng, "Are you tired?"

Yu Sheng shook his head, "Not tired, just a little hungry."

Eunuch He laughed and said, "This servant will order someone to bring some food. Is there anything Second Young Master Yu wants to eat?"

"I'm not picky about food, just take some of the queen's favorite food."

Soon, the maid brought some snacks.Yu Sheng ate half of each snack and was very satisfied.Empress Lin had no appetite, but for the sake of the baby in her stomach, she managed to drink half a bowl of hot and sour bean curd.After eating, Empress Lin was a little sleepy. She tried to talk to Yu Sheng for a while, but fell asleep.

Yu Sheng pulled the quilt for him, and walked out lightly.Outside the hall, Eunuch He was ordering a few eunuchs to sweep the snow. When he saw Yu Sheng coming out, he went up to him and said, "The queen..."

"Fell asleep."

Eunuch He sighed, "Ever since winter started, the Empress hasn't had a good night's sleep. It's good to be able to sleep more now."

Standing under the eaves, Yu Sheng and Eunuch He watched the snow getting bigger and bigger, like apricot blossoms in spring.He Gonggong said: "Second Young Master Yu, it's cold outside, you should go in and have a rest too, my lord, I'm afraid it will take a while."

"I can't sit still. It's good to look at the snow outside." Yu Sheng looked up at the sky, "Speaking of which, the scenery of Yihe Garden is really good, it seems to be warmer than other places."

Eunuch He laughed and said, "This Garden of Yihe was the garden that the Queen gave to the Queen after she gave birth to Queen Qin. It was built by a master handed down from generation to generation, and it took ten years to complete. Cold, every winter is spent in Yihe Garden. In the past, the emperor would not come with him, this year..." When the emperor was mentioned, Eunuch He's face was not very good-looking.As soon as Eunuch He entered the palace, he was assigned to the East Palace to serve Empress Lin who had just married.He has been by Queen Lin's side for more than 20 years, and he is the most loyal, putting Queen Lin first in everything.

Yu Sheng couldn't help asking him: "Eunuch He, who is that Sikong Yu? Don't you think he looks a little like the Queen?"

"Why don't you feel it?" Eunuch He smiled wryly, "As long as anyone has eyes, no one can see it."

"Then he is... the emperor's concubine?"

Eunuch He shook his head, "Not yet. Ever since the Queen Mother passed away, the Emperor has never accepted a concubine, and the concubines in the harem were selected one by one by the Queen Mother back then. I'm afraid that Mr. Sikong will become the concubine of the harem for so many years. The first newcomer."

Yu Sheng wondered, "What is his background?"

"It was dedicated to the emperor by King Yong."

"Prince Yong?" Yu Sheng said, "Is that the prince who was with King Shu today?"

"Exactly."

Yu Sheng said disgustedly: "Is this King Yong full of food? Why don't you keep the beauty for yourself? Why give it to the emperor." It's really annoying that Lin Hou was so shocked.Seeing Eunuch He looking at him hesitantly, Yu Sheng said again: "Could it be that there is something hidden in it?"

Eunuch He hesitated and said, "What happened back then is not a secret. The Second Young Master Yu is young, so he doesn't know about it."

"In that case, it's okay for Eunuch He to tell me, right?"

Eunuch He thought for a while, then slowly said: "The empress has a special physique. When she was 14 years old, she was designated as an ordinary person. Three years later, the boom came. At that time, the empress had already been engaged to a famous lady. After this matter, the Lin family had no choice but to withdraw their marriage. Afterwards, the empress's name was written on the list of brothers in the family, and there were countless people who went to the Lin family to propose marriage, including - King Yong."

Yu Sheng was dumbfounded, "W-what? Back then, King Yong wanted to marry the queen?"

Eunuch He nodded, "According to legend, when the queen was an ordinary person, she made friends with the emperor who was still the prince at that time. One day, the emperor invited the queen to visit Jueyuan Mountain, and met Yong Wang by chance. Yong Wang fell in love with the queen at first sight and pursued him relentlessly; After learning that he was the elder brother, he immediately informed the late emperor that he wanted to marry Lin's elder brother."

The more Yu Sheng listened to it, the more he felt bloody, "Then why did the queen marry the emperor later?"

Eunuch He looked around and said in a low voice: "Young King Yong is a young and romantic man who takes pleasure in pursuing beauties. Afterwards, he likes the new and dislikes the old. He owes a lot of peach blossom debts. Back then, King Yong was only 17 years old, and he didn't have a princess yet. Dozens of concubines, one concubine and one concubine daughter. But after all, King Yong was the late emperor's own son, and the one he wanted to marry was only the brother of the Lin family who had just arrived in the capital. The late emperor readily agreed, and was about to make an order when the emperor rushed went in—”

Yu Sheng's eyes widened: "Could it be that the emperor wants to prevent the queen from marrying Yongwang, so..."

"Prince Yong is the son of Concubine Xu Gui, and his status was second only to the crown prince. If he wants to snatch someone from him, the emperor has only this way."

Yu Sheng was stunned, and it took him a while to recover, "But I heard that the emperor is not manly."

"That's true." Eunuch He narrowed his eyes, recalling the past, "Since the emperor was established as the crown prince at the age of 15, the queen mother has always wanted him to marry a high-ranking brother as the crown princess. The emperor is quite repulsed by this matter and insists Wanting to marry a woman, I quarreled with the queen mother several times, but the queen mother never let go. Later, the emperor was probably disheartened, so he went with the queen mother. The queen mother wanted to choose the son of Prime Minister Cao as the princess concubine , but after the emperor knew that King Yong asked to marry Lin's son, he said that he would not marry Lin's son. At the end of the quarrel, the queen mother also took a step back and asked the first emperor to grant the marriage. Two years later, the emperor ascended the throne and sent Yongwang to At the end of last year, King Yong returned to Beijing and brought Sikong Yu, which looked very similar to the empress back then, and said he would dedicate it to the emperor. The emperor was furious about this matter, and he and the empress also had a bit of trouble. But he finally It's better to keep Sikong Yu and raise him in this Yihe Palace."

Yu Sheng froze for a long time, and murmured: "I don't know what to say." The emperor and Empress Lin were supposed to be a pair of bosom friends, but after experiencing so much grievances and grievances, they became a pair of resentful couples. ——Good fortune tricks people.

Mentioning all kinds of things back then, Eunuch He also had mixed feelings in his heart.They were silent for a while, and Mr. He said fairly: "This old slave is going to see the queen."

Yu Sheng came back to his senses: "I'll go too."

When the two returned to the hall, Empress Lin just woke up, "What time is it?"

Mr. He said fairly: "It's almost past time. The queen wants to get up?"

Empress Lin nodded.Eunuch He helped him sit up, Yu Sheng frowned when he saw Lin Hou, and said, "Queen, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, I was kicked." Empress Lin smiled lightly, "Duke Yi hasn't sent anyone yet?"

"Yeah." Yu Sheng said shyly, "I'm afraid I have to disturb the queen for a while."

"Then let's have dinner together. He Jia, pass..." Lin Hou's brows became tighter and tighter, he lowered his head, pressed his stomach, and let out a muffled grunt in pain.

Yu Sheng panicked immediately, and hurriedly said, "Prince doctor, send the message to the doctor!"
