Red Mansions Dressed Into the Forest

The "ruthless little boy" that King Suduan said was at his home right now, enjoying the snow, eating wine and barbecue with his concubine...

When Princess Yizhong first married King Yizhong——at that time, King Yizhong was still the prince, and the relationship between the couple was flat after marriage.

For the proud prince, he is not very interested in a calm and quiet wife who will not lower her value to please him, even if his new wife is extraordinary in appearance.

Will there be a lack of beauties around the prince?

However, with the ups and downs of King Yizhong's life, his wife has always been firmly by his side, no matter the peaks or valleys, her attitude towards him has never changed.

After a few years, no matter how many women there are in the world, King Yizhong can only let go of his daughter-in-law... Oh, yes, and his own daughter.

However, he said that he took the medicine according to Lin Hai's prescription for more than a month, and he was able to strengthen his body... He didn't notice it at all, but King Yizhong himself felt very obvious: the inexplicable evil fire that could not be suppressed in the past has almost disappeared without a trace , now looks like a good person.

King Yizhong felt that he could take it in and out freely, so he began to make up for his wife and daughter, and stayed with them for a while when he had nothing to do.

Princess Yizhong naturally felt the change in her husband immediately.

Because the husband couldn't control his temper, the couple had already slept in separate rooms just in case.The two of them do not live together, so naturally their hearts cannot be close.

Princess Yizhong has been here for so many years, and the cruel reality has tempered her calmness more and more, and the expression on her face has become less and less. She has no joy or sorrow, and she looks more and more like the Bodhisattva enshrined in the temple...

But when she was caught by her husband who realized that she had suddenly recovered and hugged her in his arms suddenly, tears gushed out and couldn't stop, and finally soaked a large area of ​​her husband's chest, and she even pulled his sleeve and twitched. He asked sobbingly, "Is it alright? Are you leaving?"

Seeing his daughter-in-law crying like this, King Yizhong felt joyful and guilty at the same time, so he said simply, "You will not drive me away."

And then...it must be much sweeter than when they were newlyweds.

The couple had been tender and affectionate for several days. Princess Yizhong asked her husband to "drink" two cups of wine and fed a few chopsticks of venison. His chest and abdomen were warm, "My lord, we have to thank you very much." Master Lin, look, am I going to walk around?"

King Yizhong was turning over the venison on the grill, and his hands kept moving, without delaying him talking to his wife, "It's time to come. It happens that there are many parties at the end of the year, so you won't be conspicuous if you go. Conspicuous..." He laughed, "Are you afraid of them again?"

The fire and the light shone on his face, and there was a different kind of brilliance besides the oil. Princess Yizhong laughed out loud, "We are not afraid of anyone now."

As the saying goes, those who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes, have no future and no son, Yizhong Wang and his wife... Especially Yizhong Wang thinks: I just want to be straightforward, and I don’t care if you are happy or not.

The princes and concubines in Yizhong's palace are feasting, and Yuanchun in Fengzao palace is not much less, she is eating pot.

Although the imperial concubine Yuan Chun didn't take much care of her affairs, it was easy to inquire about unimportant news with money.

Hearing that the sage went to Concubine Shu's place, Yuan Chun felt at ease and ate what she wanted: Although her ancestors were from Jinling, she grew up in the capital, and her taste was more northerly, and she liked salty and spicy food.

Baoqin was waiting on the edge of Yuanchun, seeing that her mother had a great appetite, Baoqin didn't speak but was always smiling.

It was rare for Yuan Chun to eat to the fullest. After washing his hands and face, he was still in a good mood.Thinking that her mother would have a lot to say when she entered the palace tomorrow, she leaned on the couch early and sorted out her thoughts while flipping through a book.

There is no empress dowager or middle palace in the palace, so the concubines don't have to pay their respects early, Mrs. Wang went to the palace to greet her, and directly let the eunuch sent by Yuanchun pick her up.

To be honest, the empress didn't give her a good face when she entered the palace twice in a row, Madam Wang was really scared when she came this time - she was definitely not unconscious of what she was doing, it was just that she had to ride a tiger because she had to.

After entering the Fengzao Palace to pay the ceremony, Mrs. Wang secretly glanced at Yuan Chun, feeling that the empress is not in a bad mood today, and she felt at ease.

Originally, Yuan Chun wanted to have a better life with his mother and said: She has heard about the methods of mother and sister-in-law and cousin's money outside, not to mention those senior concubines with extraordinary backgrounds and whose sons can already go out of the palace.

Thinking about it in Yuanchun, not to mention that the Wang family has their own connections in the sea, the Zhen family and the Xue family also have many ways to earn money, why bother to come forward to lend usury, even the cousin Wang Xifeng wants to buy and sell officials...

She really dared to think.Uncle may not be able to do this.

Yuan Chun's premonition was very accurate: although her uncle Wang Ziteng was already a first-class official, the Holy Majesty seemed to give her the position of concubine for the sake of his uncle's face, but in fact, the Holy Majesty didn't like his uncle very much, even though the Holy Majesty admired his uncle's talent .

Moreover, Yuan Chun could also see that because his uncle was betting heavily on the Seventh Prince, among the three concubines of De Shuxian, Concubine Shu was the friendliest and closest to her.

But it's too early!Your Majesty is in his prime, uncle, why bother?

Yuan Chun handed over the proof that the Queen Mother was murdered to the Holy Majesty, the expression on the Holy Majesty's face at that time... She didn't even want to recall it.

So Yuanchun said to his mother, Mrs. Wang: "Baoyu is still young, so mother don't need to be too impatient. If you don't want to lose the reputation of your ancestors, you don't necessarily have to get promoted in the imperial examination."

Mrs. Wang likes to hear these words, if not, why would she obey her brother?No, elder brother gave Yuan Chun a position of honor, next time it should be her precious jade!

Yuan Chun still didn't want her mother to follow her uncle too much!

Uncle Wang Ziteng has been in the limelight for promotion these years and has offended many people. It is time to restrain himself, or he will be punished.

When she told Mrs. Wang what she meant, Mrs. Wang lowered her head slightly, and said after a while, "Everything is up to your mother. But how about your uncle asking me?"

Is this...disapproval?

Yuan Chun smiled angrily, "Since mother knows well...very good."

The mother and daughter broke up unhappy, and after Mrs. Wang left, Yuan Chun ordered Baoqin, "Go and find out if uncle has asked aunt to pass on a message to mother again."

Baoqin took the lead and went away, and when she came back, Yuanchun had already returned to normal, and even laughed at himself, "I'm so angry today, it must be because I ate too much venison yesterday."

Baoqin pursed his lips and smiled.

Yuan Chun sighed immediately: "I can't help you now, and it's understandable that my mother is partial to my uncle. I'm afraid..." Both ends are empty.

The uncle's heart is for the seventh prince, and the mother's heart is for the uncle.

In fact, it's not that Yuanchun can't understand. Her uncle Wang Ziteng used King Suduan's excuse to fight for the future. Naturally, he offended King Suduan. He prepared another "insurance" for himself, that is, the Seventh Prince.

But this is exactly what Yuan Chun disagrees with. Now that you have voted for the Seventh Prince, can you turn the boat around in the future?If it hadn't been for the fact that he had lost a lot of contacts because of leaving the deposed prince, especially because of the bad reputation, why would the uncle and even the Jia family and the Wang family be so embarrassed now?

Uncle Wang Ziteng, the inspector, sounds very imposing, but in fact, he does all dirty work and offends people: nothing was found during the inspection, and the Holy Majesty was not happy; Those people will inevitably feel resentment.

After so many years, my uncle's errands are similar to this inspector's imperial envoy, but my uncle has never met the six ministers who are really high-ranking and powerful officials, let alone hold ~ soldiers ~ power and join the cabinet.

My uncle is also in his 50s... Yuan Chun knew that his uncle didn't want to accept his fate, and wanted to fight again.

No matter how well-informed Yuan Chun was, he still couldn't reach the front court.

When she was helpless, she hoped to be kind to others, at least to have relatives and friends to help her at critical times, even if she could say a word or two of intercession in front of the Holy One.

This is also the reason why she insisted that her mother, Mrs. Wang, show her kindness to her uncle and his family.In her opinion, just because she didn't get along well with her aunt at the beginning, and her uncle was in a high position, she wanted to stay away from her uncle's relatives, and her mother was...too capricious!

Fortunately, my mother really listened to it a little bit, and finally maintained contact with my uncle's family, but that's all.Compared with her uncle, her help to her mother's family is really limited, and it's no wonder her mother's attitude is so... In fact, it's not hard to see, was it really just her mother's attitude just now?

Thinking of this, Yuan Chun held the hand stove and looked at the extremely clear sky after the snow, and whispered to himself: I am the one who is overconfident.

The empress is always thinking about her natal family, and she can see all this, but it's a pity that the old lady in the mansion has other ideas.

Living with the empress in the palace for several years, Baoqin didn't dare to say what her vision was, but she always felt that the masters and wives in the mansion... had some wishful thinking, and although the uncle knew it in his heart, he couldn't stop it.

Yuan Chun just turned around at this time, saw Bao Qin full of worries, and the master and servant also came to "relatively silent".

But at this moment, the eunuch in Yuanchun Palace came forward to report: Concubine Shu is coming to talk to her.

Yuan Chun looked at Bao Qin, "Let's change clothes."

Coincidentally, Lin Hai also met Concubine Shu's younger brother and cousin in the household department yamen.

Concubine Shu's younger brother is now the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and just as Lin Hai expected: he will go to the Three Treasures Hall for everything.

Speaking of which, most of the household officials who were involved in the case of Jin Suduan embezzling a large amount of silver were actually under the command of the Seventh Prince—in fact, it is not appropriate to say that they are "under the command" now. More frequently, compared to other princes.

The Seventh Prince did not expect that after this group of people were caught out, they would have a lot of "heads and tails" with King Su Duan.This is the so-called yellow mud falling into it, it's either shit or shit.

Back then when Wang Ziteng presented the secret book to reveal that King Suduan still kept his word in the household department and embezzled whatever he wanted, after the seventh prince was shocked and furious, he was even a little grateful to Wang Ziteng: I knew it earlier, otherwise I would let my father misunderstand He and King Suduan had a tacit understanding for a long time, and there was no "future" in the muddle.

So the seventh prince sent a confidant to rush to the northwest, and took his own letter to thank Prince Teng.

One is that King Suduan was almost cheated unknowingly, and the other is that King Suduan was cheated but he was worried that King Suduan would retaliate... The Seventh Prince and Wang Ziteng, the two "you have love and I have intentions", once they come and go, they hit it off... hooked up.

Having had a good chat with Wang Ziteng, the Seventh Prince put his attention on Lin Hai, the new right servant of the household department.

Although Hubu Shangshu and Zuo Shilang had not changed their official positions, they were both implicated by King Suduan.But the culprit, King Suduan, was still unable to move.Hubu Shangshu and Zuo Shilang are not too young, so the emperor gave them two respects and allowed them to serve at this level.

To put it bluntly, these two are just messing around now, and their prestige and real power are not as good as before.In fact, at present, the one who can really be the master of the household department is Lin Hai, the right servant handpicked by the father.

Lin Hai continued to marry Lao Jiu's biological mother's cousin, so it was logical to favor Lao Jiu, but the Seventh Prince wanted to see how the new servant would treat their brother's disciples when he filled the vacancy in the household department.

However, there is no need to "wait and see the changes", the Seventh Prince will know what Lin Hai's style is: to act impartially, and to act on merit.The Seventh Prince doesn't know whether Lin Hai is really so upright, but so far it looks like this.

He is impartial, and the candidates he picks are recognized as having some means.

By the way, below the seventh rank is counted as a small official, and Lin Hai, the hall official, can decide whether he can enter the Ministry of Household Affairs, but above the seventh rank and including the seventh rank are all considered officials. He will never ignore the opinions of the household officials.

The Holy Majesty is currently unable to fully control the Ministry of Officials, but the appointment and dismissal of officials involving the six ministries will definitely be passed in front of the Holy Majesty.So far, Lin Hai's behavior has been unmistakable.

The Seventh Prince was also somewhat interested in Lin Hai, and at the same time got to know Lin Hai a little bit, so it was no wonder why Wang Ziteng and Lin Hai didn't get along well.

So Lin Hai went out of the Yamen, led by Concubine Shu's cousin, and went to have a drink with a few colleagues, he was not surprised to "run into" the Seventh Prince: at least he stopped blocking people at the Yamen Gate.

Lin Hai has no friendship with the Seventh Prince: they only met each other a few times when they were in court.In all fairness, the seventh prince is the one with the most comfortable temperament and behavior among the princes Lin Hai has personally come into contact with.

It is said that among the many concubines in ~Hou~ Palace, Concubine Shu's looks are not ranked high, but she has been favored for many years... enduring.

Because of the love of the house and the black, the sons and daughters born by the concubine Shu are quite different from the rest of the children.

It should be known that the Holy Majesty can basically treat his children with equal levels, and it is very rare to see some bias in him.

It is said that the seventh prince showed up, first punished himself with a cup, and then said sincerely to Lin Hai, "It's my villain's heart." At the same time, he did not hide at all that he and Wang Ziteng had a lot of contacts these days.

Looking away from the 30.00% of the Seventh Prince's shoulder, Lin Hai carefully read the meaning behind the Seventh Prince's words: Did Wang Ziteng speak ill of me?Isn't it because Zhen Yingjia doesn't hang out with you anymore, is it possible that she still holds grudges for this?

Lin Haixin said: What's the big deal?It's not that I personally go into battle to poach your corner.When I went to Beijing, you sent people to dig out some of my staff members with money, and I didn't say a word.

Thinking about it later, he and Wang Ziteng had been at odds since the moment he didn't give Jia Yucun face.

Lin Hai felt that it would be best if he could really tear his face apart. Unfortunately, he raised his head to meet the smiling face of the Seventh Prince.

If he really wanted to do that, I'm afraid that His Royal Highness would not agree - Wang Ziteng had already stood behind the Seventh Prince.

This His Highness may not be taking the right and wrong ways, but at least he will save face and be kind to others.The Seventh Prince definitely felt that he didn't mean to show his favor, at least he didn't mean to offend.

In fact, in the household department, there are still a few "fish that slipped through the net" of King Suduan. In the past few days, he has been concentrating on chatting with the files and his subordinates. She has a close relationship with Concubine Shu's family.

It's just that Lin Hai feels that when the water is clear, there will be no fish. When the time comes, the nails will be pulled out, and King Suduan will send you back a few in a few days... After all, the undercover who reveals his identity is the best undercover.

But in the eyes of the Seventh Prince, Lin Hai didn't get to the bottom of it.Regardless of how selfish Lin Hai is, he must accept this favor.

So while eating and drinking, the Seventh Prince also gave Lin Hai some "gossip" in return. A paperweight, bleeding profusely at that time, King Suduan handed over the post overnight and invited the imperial physician."

King Suduan invited an imperial physician who was specialized in treating the princes. If there is no will, the rich and powerful cannot allow an imperial physician of this level to be on call.

Lin Hai smiled slightly.

Asking for Fang Zi is purely an excuse. King Suduan's original intention should be to ask his son to find out his new servant's attitude towards King Suduan's mansion.As a result, Prince Suduan accepted the prescription and owed Lin Hai a favor instead.

In fact, it's not a big deal, and he will be scolded by his father if he dies.

Unexpectedly, King Suduan threw the paperweight too accurately, the prince bled profusely that night, and even used the elixir that hanged his life in the palace, but the effect was still limited. In the end, Princess Suduan wiped away her tears and treated the dead horse as a living horse The doctor boiled the medicine according to the prescription given by Lin Hai, and poured it into Shizi, but the bleeding stopped after a while, and Shizi also fell into a deep sleep.

The Seventh Prince also laughed and said: "Although it's a bit unkind, my uncle deserves this kind of calamity."

King Suduan is the younger brother of the Supreme Emperor, and the son of King Suduan is the uncle of the princes.Seeing Lin Hai's concerned expression, the Seventh Prince added, "He's fine now."

It was said to be recuperating, but in fact, Shizi couldn't help it after lying down for a day, and complained to the relatives and friends who came to visit: Why are my parents still holding me because of this little injury?

He had forgotten that his parents almost fainted from fright the night before.

Lin Hai Fang said at this time: "My health-cultivating prescription does not have such a miraculous effect. I guess it should be that the elixir in the palace takes effect a little slower. When I drank the new medicine, it was just in time for the elixir to take effect."

The Seventh Prince thought so too.The prescription heard from the imperial physician who was present at the time that the combination was indeed very novel, but if it was said to have a miraculous effect...it was hard to believe.

The seventh prince blinked, "But this kindness can never be forgotten, Princess Suduan may come to thank you."

Lin Hai also muttered very cooperatively, "It's not over."

The Seventh Prince laughed again, "If Mr. Lin doesn't give an explanation, it's just endless."

However, the posture of Prince Suduan's mansion always made Lin Hai feel that the family's goal was not in the household department, and seemed to be... diverting attention.

It is known in the whole capital that King Suduan once again embezzled the money from the household department, and almost none of the officials who dealt with it got good results, and the original errands of King Suduan's son in the clan's mansion were gone. It stands to reason that King Suduan's mansion should be restrained for a while.

The Holy Majesty didn't touch Suduan Palace, that's because the Supreme Emperor is still there.

Even in order not to let Shengshang Qiuhou settle accounts too harshly, the Suduan Palace should spend all their time trying to please His Majesty, but they are still thinking about him, the right servant of the household department.

It must be known that these methods of theirs are all under the nose of the Holy One!

If the Suduan Palace had been so stupid, it would never have gone through two dynasties without losing its reputation.Lin Hai originally thought that King Suduan had attracted the Seventh Prince, and wanted to repeat the previous experience again, and rely on "the merits of the dragon" to make a fortune.

Now it seems that the Seventh Prince is also very transparent and doesn't want to get involved with Suduan Palace at all.So what is the support of Suduan Palace?

The Seventh Prince said again: "Speaking of which, King Suduan was the first to find the elixir that saved my uncle's life."

Lin Hai frowned: I also gave the prescription to the princes, Seventh Prince, what are you reminding me of?

After the banquet, Lin Hai got into his own carriage, and when he closed his eyes, he couldn't stop thinking wildly: Well~official~show~inspirational drama...why did it become suspenseful.

Lin Hai had something on his mind, but the long follower who followed outside greeted him several times before he came back to his senses. Just as he was about to lift the curtains and look out, the door of the carriage opened suddenly, and a black figure was like a ball, piercing Drilled in at once.

Lin Hai took a closer look, raised his forehead and said, "My lord is becoming more and more elusive."

King Yizhong laughed, and when he had had enough, he said, "I heard that you let Xiaoqi go away, so I came here specially to remind you, it's okay to torment King Suduan's family, if they forget you, what happened more than ten years ago There are secrets in the palace, just listen to it and forget it, don't really reach out."

Lin Hai nodded quickly, "After listening to people's persuasion to eat enough, my small arms can't twist other people's big thick legs."

King Yizhong also nodded, "You are a sensible person. But it is too late for your niece who entered the palace to be a concubine to withdraw..." He said sincerely, "It's a pity."

After speaking, he patted Lin Hai on the shoulder.

So Lin Hai watched helplessly. Every time King Yizhong patted him, the number on King Yizhong's shoulder increased by one percent: after four consecutive shots, the number on King Yizhong's shoulder became 11.00%.

Xiao Jin finally stopped pretending to be dead, "A few days ago I couldn't take care of it. Now that he's here, I'll give him a stronger effect."

Before Lin Hai could answer, King Yizhong hesitated and said, "It's so strange, I just patted you on the shoulder, why... do you feel that every time I pat you, I feel a little different?"

Lin Hai couldn't bear it anymore, and exclaimed, "Xiao Jin, this guy is quite sharp."

Xiao Jin said: "More than [-]% is really a qualitative leap. He can already give birth, but it's not so easy."

Lin Hai himself was more than ten percent, "So, I can look forward to it?"

Xiao Jin turned around again, "Yes. Your new wife has been looking forward to giving you children. If King Yizhong wins a son in one fell swoop, you will be rewarded very much!"

It's still calm now, when King Yizhong gave birth to a son, the Supreme Emperor is still alive... Not to mention the capital city, the whole world will probably be full of excitement.Originally, I was thinking of a real idea, and I could follow Shijia to choose - now the Shijia brothers are not working in the capital, and they are far away from the center, and they live quite comfortably.

Lin Hai suddenly had mixed joys and sorrows: the loss of "know the plot early", but a lot of extra life... I don't know if it's worth it.
