The red house is not a pity

The Empress Dowager told her son Shui Yan how lucky she was today, and how many golden beans she won. Not only did she win all of Concubine Lin's golden beans, she also won half of Concubine Lin's Jinhua ham.

"...I'll have dinner here in a while, let's eat her well. If my son likes it, I'll win it for you tomorrow." It was as if her son would eat it if she didn't win. It doesn't seem to matter.

This empress dowager is really unconscious.

"It's good to catch up with the situation. What you win is a hundred times sweeter than eating your own. Tomorrow's mother will continue to work hard, and if she wins, Concubine Lin will not have new clothes to wear next month."

In Shuiyan's view, Daiyu is the worst person to live a life, and she makes several new clothes every month.But thinking that Daiyu spent her own share, she didn't say anything.

Don't look at Shui Yan as the lord of a country now, but since he was a child, he has never lived in a good environment to raise his body. Although he has a prince and father, the princess is not a vegetarian.The two of them had a very hard time haha.

This also cultivated Shui Yan to live "carefully", well, stingy.

However, Shui Yan still has principles. Shui Yan doesn't care about how people want to spend their private houses and allowances.And from his point of view, he also took advantage of it. The money was not spent on rewarding slaves or forming gangs, but was spent on beautifying his vision. After all, he earned it.

The living environment is different since childhood, so the policy of life is also different.

The Lin family has only had such a girl for several lifetimes, so it's natural that thousands of pets are afraid of wronging her.In addition, there is a mother who was born in the Duke's Mansion, and she was also the master who made her own way since she was a child.Under the influence of such a mother, Daiyu's life, although not as good as that of the princess, is not bad.

Although he is in charge of the family affairs, small love and money exchange, he never pays attention to those yellow and white things.Although treasures and antiques can be played with by her, they are just playthings to pass the time.

Speaking of clothes, when Daiyu was in the Lin family, she made much more every season.Every year, there are new clothes that are out of season without the upper body.

She doesn't have any role in the Lin family, that is, she can do as much as she wants, and Jia Min can do whatever she wants to do for her.There is a sewing room dedicated to her alone in Daiyu's courtyard, and three or five embroiderers from the south can devote themselves to making clothes for her.

After entering the palace, the materials in her order were brought in when she entered the palace, Jia Min sent in the materials that were fashionable in the capital, and some were rewarded by the emperor, given by the queen mother, and other people gave them during festivals. .

It really can't be worn out in a while, and those materials are rotten, so it's better to wear them on the body, and it's not in vain for them to come to this world.

In addition, Feng'er's embroidery skills were learned by Xichun when she was Nanny Yang.

Embroidery is both good and fast.Coupled with the help of a few court ladies and one piece of clothing for a few days, it is because these people are lazy.

Anyway, Daiyu has new clothes to wear every month, and there is no one in the palace who doesn't know, but what can they do if they know, Daiyu is in charge of palace affairs, and she didn't reach out to move a foot of cloth, her eyes are jealous I can only stare blankly.

Live a life of whatever ability you have, and live a better and more comfortable life if you have the conditions, why do you talk about thrift and housekeeping every day?

Daiyu thought very clearly, if she eats and wears good things, she enjoys them herself.Why bother to put on an air, and end up taking advantage of others.

In Shui Yan's view, you can live carefully, but you can't be careful enough to stare at the money in a woman's hand.Men can't earn it, so it's natural for women to be frugal.Shui Yan also looks down on men who let women live frugally.

So no matter how much he felt sorry for Yinzi, Shui Yan did not reduce the role of the people in the harem.

In this way, Shui Yan also has some contradictions.As for silver, when it is not spent, it is a penny that can be spent less.And if all the money was spent on the blade, then he would be completely willing.

For example, buying new winter clothes and bedding for frontier soldiers, as well as armor and weapons, all cost a lot of money.

Seek quality and quantity, not simplistic.

But it's like rewarding the courtiers, it really has reached a certain level.

He thinks which minister is good and which minister does a good job.Okay, he will write a few words for someone, then give it to them, and let them take it back and frame it by themselves.He felt that it was a great dignity and a priceless treasure.And what he spent was a piece of rice paper.

This is really a good story of the monarch and his ministers getting each other.

And what about these women in the harem?Shui Yan made up her mind not to conceive, so she would not be given a promotion.Not only that, except for the New Year holidays and birthdays, which must be rewarded, there will never be extra rewards.

There is no shortage of food and drink, so why reward so much gold and silver?

...So the things that are rewarded each time are just a few sets of new books produced by the inner bookstore, etc.

There is a golden house in the book, find it yourself.

If the emperor can do what Shui Yan does, then there is no one else.

Absolutely.

But there is one thing, the only point, which can be praised, no matter how petty he is, he will never stop the concubines from spending a lot of money.

Anyway, it's not his money anymore, spend it however you want.

That's why Shui Yan didn't have any thoughts about Daiyu's lavish living, and made fun of Daiyu with this matter today.

There is one more point worth mentioning.Shui Yan is very indulgent and willing to give up to her biological mother who has been wronged for most of her life.As long as these women in the palace can entertain and relieve my old lady, he will recognize it even if it is raising a bunch of useless 'mamas' for nothing.

Concubine Lin's method of coaxing my mother is very good, like the wind and the drizzle.Seeing how happy his mother was, Shui Yan became more and more satisfied with Daiyu.Well, after dinner today, you can follow Concubine Lin back to her palace directly.

If you pamper her a lot recently, it's like reciprocating.

Shui Yan didn't feel that this was an excuse he made for himself.Now he wants to go around the Concubine Lin's palace every day, even if he does nothing, just look at her, talk to her, play with the parrot with her, it's better to go to other concubines' palaces to listen to those songs Asking for this and that, asking for this and that.

What can't be said directly, what a bullshit.Either she gave her eye drops, or she was wronged, or she thought about him too much, and asked him if he thought about himself.He is looking up every day, how can he think about her?It's not enough to deal with big things, but also deal with these messes.Eight incidents.

His harem is already harmonious.Concubine Lin is not someone who likes to embarrass others.I don't want to have a good time in such a quiet life. Is it because I am looking forward to another princess who likes to use her power to defraud others and use poison to use methods, or is she like a queen who likes to use lynching?

What's the point of looking for trouble every day?His life in the palace was much longer than theirs, so I really fooled him for a fool.

Concubine Lin is better, live happily by herself every day, and can coax my old lady to be happy too.Although, there is always a bit of literati's aloofness, and the sourness of a literati, but that small appearance is so rare in Shui Yan's opinion.

He just felt it was true.

"What the queen mother said is that Concubine Lin still has half a piece of ham. You can win it tomorrow, and we will eat ham tomorrow night. My son heard that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has got a new batch of side dishes, and they say they are delicious. When the time comes Ask them to bring it, and let's eat it with ham and stir-fried vegetables."

"Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, it's too early to say this. Maybe the concubine will win tomorrow. If the concubine wins, we will eat the ham from the Empress Dowager's palace tomorrow, but what?" What's the trouble, why did Dun Dun have sex with ham?

You two are not tired of it, she is going to be tired of it.

Of course, you can't always lose, and you can't really win, but let the Queen Mother work hard to win, then her sense of accomplishment will be greater.Then she lost two hands, making her think about winning back every day.

"That's not necessarily the case, look at your bad luck today. You just didn't even touch a touch. Tomorrow you will sit in the upper house of the Ai family. The Ai family only takes your cards."

Daiyu: "...The concubine will definitely stop reading from tonight." You're still addicted to this, aren't you?

Shui Yan was puzzled, "Why?"

"The concubine's cousin said that if you want to win, you don't touch the book. If you want Hu, eat rice noodles. 'Book' is the same as 'lose', and so is Hu."

Shui Yan and the Queen Mother looked at each other, and then laughed.

Concubine Lin's cousin is an interesting person.Small talk every day, always so innovative.

"The former son of the Ai family also said that when they let Keqing enter the palace, they would bring the little girl of the Jia family along. I have heard Keqing and Concubine Lin mention her all these years, and the Ai family has always wanted to see her." That girl is also a hard-working girl, she has grown up so much, she spends most of her time in filial piety.

"What's so difficult about it, just let my sister bring it into the palace." It's just a girl's film, so there's nothing to think about.

Daiyu smiled and nodded, "Yes. Thanks to the Queen Mother, I haven't seen my cousin for three years. I don't know how she looks now. I have acquired a lot of rare things in the past two years. Still waiting for her to come and play."

Although Xichun would occasionally visit the moon, the two sisters would still see each other from time to time, chatting and so on.But that's all in private, meeting in front of serious people, but there really isn't one.

Thinking of the last time the sisters met, the two had a martial arts exercise because of the ownership of a piece of roasted sweet potato, Daiyu felt a little embarrassed.

It's really not reserved.

Xichun often went to Daiyu with food or tools.Last time, I brought a small mud stove and some baked goods.

In the middle of the night, the two sisters didn't dare to bake anything, so they simply ate some light-flavored food.Grilled Xiaolongbao, grilled sweet potato, grilled shrimp, served with hot shochu...

Then Xichun picked up the last piece of roasted sweet potato and made a gesture to feed it to Daiyu.

Daiyu didn't expect Xichun to have another trick, she opened her mouth and ate it, but she didn't expect Xichun to wrap chili peppers under the sweet potato.

Daiyu is afraid of spicy food, so she wants to clean up Xichun in a hurry.The two sisters ran up and down in the inner hall quietly.

......

This time, she also had to give Fourth Sister a 'reciprocal gift'.

The queen mother decided to let Qin Keqing enter the palace tomorrow, and dinner will be served.

The three of them moved to the side hall for dinner.Daiyu first waited for the Queen Mother to pick up vegetables and serve soup.And just when she served a spoonful of ham and winter bamboo shoot soup to the queen mother, Feng'er received a notice from Xichun.

The ham is poisonous, do not eat it.

Feng'er stepped forward and snatched the soup from Daiyu's hand very unrulyly, and after smelling it, she told Daiyu about the ham with certainty.

Daiyu was so frightened that she almost didn't sit on the ground.

This is the ham brought in by her mother, this is the dry goods bought by her family's farm, which was presented by her, and this soup, which was almost delivered to the Queen Mother herself by her.

Daiyu didn't dare to think too much, her strangeness had already attracted the attention of Shui Yan and the Queen Mother.Quickly raised her skirt and knelt down, said in a flustered tone, "The concubine is guilty, and dare not beg for mercy."

Seeing Daiyu and Feng'er's actions, Shui Yan instinctively thought that there was something wrong with the soup Daiyu was carrying just now, so she squinted her eyes, first looked at Daiyu who was kneeling on the ground, and then looked at Daiyu who was sitting on the ground. My old lady at the top,

Asked the question in his heart, "What did Concubine Lin do?"

Daiyu stabilized her mind, organized her words, and said, "Go back to the emperor, go back to the queen mother, the concubine doesn't know what happened, but when the concubine was serving soup just now, Feng'er stopped her and said to the concubine The soup smelled wrong, it seemed that the ham had a peculiar smell. Chen Qie panicked after hearing this. The ham was presented by Chen Qie's mother during the day today.

The concubine believed that the mother would never hurt the concubine, but she almost hurt the emperor and the queen mother. "

After hearing Daiyu's words, both mothers looked like the bowl of soup.My heart is full of horror.

What if...

"Come here, tell the imperial doctor."

Looking at the table full of food, Shui Yan and the Queen Mother lost their appetite.With a wave of his hand, he asked someone to keep the bowl of soup, and then removed all the other meals.

Daiyu knelt there pitifully, her little face was pale, and she looked terrified.Seeing the empress dowager felt pity, "Concubine Lin, get up and talk."

The queen mother's words clearly stated that she believed that Daiyu was innocent.

But Emperor Shuiyan thought, was this a trick jointly set up by Daiyu and Jia Min?

But after thinking about it, I felt that this was too risky.If one is not done well, it is self-defeating.Concubine Lin was either buried in the imperial mausoleum with a white damask, or spent her days counting mosquitoes in the cold palace.

So it seems that this matter is aimed at Concubine Lin, or by Concubine Lin's hands, she is going to do everything in order to let her family of three go to heaven.

a family of three?

Shui Yan was a little confused about the word that passed through his mind just now.

How could Concubine Lin count with her mother and son?

This is incredible.

Could it be that Concubine Lin is already so important in his heart?

Shui Yan had a gloomy face, his eyes narrowed slightly, no one knew what he was thinking, Daiyu was terrified, she was afraid that this matter would hurt her mother and brother at home, and she couldn't care about Shui Yan's mood at this time.

Daiyu wholeheartedly hoped that the man who did things with ham could administer some medicine to hurt women, so that he could clear up some of his charges.

They cannot afford the crime of regicide.

The imperial physician came very quickly, there were quite a few imperial physicians in the imperial hospital, but only three were imperial physicians.Since Daiyu asked the imperial physician to consult, the imperial physicians also spontaneously implemented this method.

It was the same today, the three of them came together.

Hearing the greetings from the three imperial doctors, Shui Yan pointed to the ham and winter bamboo shoot soup on the table beside him, asking the three to identify it.

When they were young, the three of them took turns to identify, and then wrote their conclusions on the paper they brought, and then the three of them handed it to Shui Yan together.

Shui Yan took the 'diagnostic certificate' from the eunuch, read them one by one, then raised her head to look at Daiyu, and then asked. "Is this a secret medicine for women?"

The oldest of the three imperial doctors took a step forward and respectfully replied, "If you go back to the emperor, that's exactly the case."

"What happens if a man takes it?"

"He entered a state of heart failure ahead of time, and his life expectancy plummeted. It's nothing more than three to five years." The man was talking about the emperor, right?When the imperial doctor who answered said this, his voice was extremely low.

Hearing this, Shui Yan felt that he might have some clues.Nodded, this medicine really kills two birds with one stone.For their family of three, none of them were spared.

This vicious, level.

"Its effect will really cause false pregnancy in women?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. Not only will it delay the arrival of the sunflower water, but it will also make the woman behave like a pregnant woman. If you don't detect this secret medicine before taking it, you won't be able to detect it after taking it. Take this medicine For women, the false pregnancy reaction will accumulate for about five months, and the sunflower water accumulated in the body will disappear, but when the doctor checks again, no pulse of previous pregnancy will be diagnosed. "

After a pause, the imperial doctor glanced at Shui Yan's face quietly, gritted his teeth and continued, "The viciousness of this medicine is that as long as the sunflower is not exhausted, if you take this medicine, there will be no intercourse between men and women." There will also be signs of pregnancy. After that, women who take this medicine will be infertile for life."

With a "bang", the teacup in Daiyu's hand fell to the ground.

This, this is so vicious.

This is to destroy her, the Lin family.

If she didn't check for a while and she ate the drugged Jinhua ham, Daiyu couldn't even imagine the consequences.

There has been nothing to do in the palace for six years. Now that she is pregnant, she will definitely be favored and valued by the emperor and queen mother even more.

After five months of sweetness, when she was fully expecting the arrival of this child, she suddenly had a miscarriage.Then after the imperial physician diagnosed, it turned out that she had never been pregnant at all.

For the crime of deceiving the emperor, the entire Lin family will be bloodbathed by Thunder Fury.

Even if it is a joint diagnosis by several imperial physicians, so what, His Majesty will always be angered if he has no expectations.

In the best possible result, she was thrown into the cold palace, and the Lin family fell into a shambles.

But how innocent is she, and how innocent is the Lin family who suffered such a disaster?

Daiyu, who hadn't clearly felt the cruelty of Gongdou since entering the palace, completely fainted under the shock and anger.

But Daiyu, who fainted, did not see Shuiyan's nervous expression.

But Daiyu didn't see it, but the Queen Mother did.

But at this moment, the queen mother also concealed sympathy for Daiyu in her heart.

Fortunately, this matter was discovered in time, otherwise, who knows what will happen to Concubine Lin who is now No. 1 in the harem.

But the Queen Mother thought of not only Daiyu's fate, but also her own.

If she also ate this poisonous ham, and she died a man, then the empress dowager's five-month pregnancy...

The queen mother couldn't help shivering, and couldn't think about it anymore, it was so terrible.

Both the queen mother and Shui Yan understood why Daiyu fainted, and the three imperial doctors were not fools.So when Shui Yan asked an imperial doctor to check Daiyu's pulse nearby, the three imperial doctors stepped forward one by one.

Every imperial doctor took a long time to diagnose the pulse, and then frowned, and looked uncertain, and refused to write a conclusion for a long time.

After the last three imperial physicians checked the pulse, the results... turned out to be the same.

This time, the three of them could only push the oldest one out as they did just now.

"Back to the emperor, back to the empress dowager, I waited for the three people to take the pulse, and the conclusion is that the concubine Lin seems to be pregnant for less than a month."

Shui Yan: "..."

Queen Mother: "..."

Daiyu who just woke up at this time: "..."

Is this true or not?

Daiyu lowered her head and touched her stomach with her hands, then looked at Shui Yan and the Queen Mother blankly, she didn't know whether her stomach was real or fake.

"Should it be true? Didn't Lin Jiashi just send the ham to the palace today?"

The queen mother looked at her son and said this with some uncertainty.
