After the flower viewing feast, Lin Qingjun left Daiyu and Anle to stay for two days, and then showed them the other nine picture albums in his private collection.

"My sister actually hid so many. I said that my sister has drawn more than a few pictures in a year." Daiyu and An Le each picked up a book and looked through it. First they looked at the paintings, then they read the words. Awareness is not Lin Qingjun's handwriting.The turning point of the handwriting contains sharpness, obviously it was written by a man, so you don't need to guess who it is.

An Le didn't have so many worries, and immediately laughed out loud: "It's my uncle's name."

"It's all written by him, so I didn't want to show it to my sisters before." Lin Qingyun has been observing An Le, but An Le is no different from ordinary people when he is not sick. He looks rosy and healthy, so he didn't know Fan for a while. How is the medical treatment.Besides, the illness was not easy to tell others, and she was concerned about Daiyu, so she could only ask in private.

Anle was exhausted after playing crazy all day, and fell asleep early at night, but Daiyu was not like Anle and Xiangyun running around, itching to see the southward scenery during the day, hastily eating dinner and sneaking into Lin Qingyun's little room In the study room, I looked at it and asked questions. When I saw Hangzhou, a sense of nostalgia welled up in my heart.

"My sister will definitely have a chance to go again in the future. It's getting late, and my sister is asleep too." Lin Qingyun took the album and urged Daiyu to go back to sleep.

"I'll sleep with my sister tonight." Daiyu begged coquettishly, holding her hand.

"it is good."

The two washed up, lay on the bed, and talked a lot.

"A lot of things happened in the year when my sister was away. I mentioned all the above in the letter, but there is one thing that my sister doesn't know about. The second sister's betrothed Li Guogong's mansion has a side child named Liu Xianglian who became a monk. I have become a Taoist priest." Daiyu was talking about Liu Xianglian and Third Sister You, and her tone was full of emotion: "I have also heard some bad things about the sisters of the You family, and I didn't like them very much in the past. But looking at it now, Third Sister You is the daughter of Zhen Lie, if there was no misunderstanding, it might be a good marriage."

Daiyu is already engaged, even if Zhuang Li often sends some poems and things on weekdays, she also knows that the other party's character is not like an ordinary dude, but it is inevitable to worry about gains and losses. After hearing about Liu Xianglian and Third Sister You, how could she not think about it.

After hearing this, Lin Qingyun asked her back: "If Third Sister You is not dead, what if Liu Xianglian really married her?"

"What about it?" Daiyu didn't understand it for a moment.

"You are a big lady who seldom goes out in the deep house. Even you have heard what the sisters of the You family said. Others will not know? Besides, I have heard of Liu Xianglian. , and likes to hang out, can marrying a relative really make him feel better? Even if he really gets his heart, those friends he made will not break up. Others know that he married Third Sister You, but they don't say it on the surface, how can they be secretly married? No discussion? Can he stand the rumors from the outside world? That is the third sister You. Although she lost her father in her early years, she has always been pampered and raised. With some spare money, can she bear the poverty of firewood, oil and salt after a long time?"

Daiyu was stunned by what she was saying, and said in a low voice for a while: "Listen to what my sister said, their result is actually good now?"

"Poor and lowly couples are sad about everything." Lin Qingyun was afraid that she would be negative because of this, so she said again: "I'm not saying that the two of them are not sincere or sincere, but they are too hasty. Marriage is not a trivial matter, so you must be cautious, even for a while. If the love is as fierce as fire, you have to endure it, and then think about whether it is suitable after you calm down. This is also the reason why the matchmaker has to go through three or four times to succeed, and they always have to investigate each other and make many calculations."

"That's right, Third Sister You chose the Elder Master of Ningguo Mansion as a matchmaker. It's really inappropriate. I can't blame Liu Xianglian for saying it later. It must be Elder Zhen who coaxed away his Yuanyang sword while he was drunk." Daiyu sighed. From Xichun's words and deeds and even Lin Qingyun's occasional mentions, Daiyu knew very well that Ningguo Mansion was filthy, and Kuang Jiazhen herself was not clear with the You sisters.

Lin Qingyun turned sideways upon hearing the words, and asked her curiously, "Did Jia Zhen go to propose marriage to Liu Xianglian in person?"

In the original book, Jia Lian met Liu Xianglian and mentioned this matter, but now Jia Lian is in Shunning and has nothing to do with Second Sister You.Third Sister Nayou probably didn't know anyone else, and she probably thought that Jia Zhen was quite decent outside, so she entrusted the matter to him.It never occurred to Liu Xianglian that in Liu Xianglian's eyes, Jia Zhen and even the whole Ningguo Mansion were not as clean as the two stone lions in front of the mansion.

"I don't know the details. It seems to be Big Brother Zhen." Speaking of relatives, Daiyu is of the same generation as Baoyu and Jia Zhen. It's just that I don't shout like that anymore.

Lin Qingyun didn't want to talk about Ningguo Mansion or Third Sister You with her anymore, so she started talking: "Today, I saw that Miss San and Miss Xue looked both unhappy, so I guessed why. The third lady is nothing more, she is a concubine, Mrs. Wang We always treat her with a layer of separation, that's all, only Miss Xue's marriage..."

"Sister, don't you know that the old lady doesn't want to." Daiyu now also thinks that Jinyu is a good match, Baoyu is too soft-tempered, and it is better to have Baochai to assist her.It's just that she also knows Baoyu's temperament, and she doesn't like Baochai's preaching the most, so she is not close to Baochai psychologically.

"Why didn't you ask Concubine Xiande to call the shots?"

Daiyu frowned slightly: "I don't know about this, but the second wife enters the palace every month."

"Forget it, it's another family's business, let's talk about it in private. Go to sleep, it's late." Lin Qingyun coaxed Daiyu to sleep, but she was a little absent-minded.Coming back this time, the atmosphere in the palace was obviously different. Concubine Zhen Gui died strangely, and the Supreme Emperor fell ill again. I'm afraid Prince Xiao Jing couldn't bear it anymore.

Looking at autumn, the sewing room will make seasonal clothes, and the embroiderer will come to measure.After measuring the size, it was a bit longer than three months ago, and Xiu Niang laughed and said, "I just went to measure the prince, and the prince is also tall, but it is a rare thing, the size of the prince has not been measured for three or four years." It's changed."

"It's not uncommon. Many people have grown a little after the age of 20." Lin Qingyun said this, but he knew in his heart that the golden lotus seed should be the credit.

At this time, Hong Ling came in from the door, saluted and said: "My lord, my lord is in Qingfeng Mingyue Courtyard, I invite my lord to come over."

"Could it be that the prince can't compose a poem today." Jokingly, he handed over the rest to Bailu Xiangsi, who just chose the material and style of the clothes, both Bailu Xiangsi knew her preferences.She took the key and walked to the next yard by herself.

Walking through the flowers and plants in the garden, I saw Tu Yan standing in the pavilion, and turned around as soon as I approached him.

Taking a glance, he saw that the books on the stone table had not been turned over, and the chess pieces were all in the chess jar, so he couldn't help asking: "What do you want to say here?"

Tu Yan poured a cup of tea for her and said, "It's quiet here. This year's royal autumn, the itinerary has not been shortened, and it will last for one month. Although I have basically never participated in the past, according to the usual practice, all princes will go. This year I think Take you with me."

"Why do you want to go all of a sudden?" His intuition is that there is something wrong, otherwise he would not hit the eyes of other princes and ministers at this juncture according to his temperament.

Tu Yan stroked the rim of the cup, and said slowly: "I suspect that something serious has happened. I got the news from the palace today, and the Supreme Emperor is getting worse. Sometimes he is confused, sometimes sober, and he can't speak clearly. In just a few days , Prince Xiao Jing went to the palace several times to serve the sick, and every time he left the palace, his complexion was not good. Although he did it in a concealed manner, there were more people coming and going in and out of his house. This time, Prince Xiao Jing will also participate."

Lin Qingyun was silent for a while, and asked him: "Is there no doubt that the emperor is going to hold an autumn festival when the emperor is so seriously ill?"

Tu Yan looked at her and said with a smile: "Autumn is a custom handed down from the ancestors. It is a grand ceremony. It has never been canceled if there is no major event. Besides, even if he has doubts about filial piety, the current situation does not allow him to do it again." If he hesitates, he will definitely take risks. The guards in the palace are naturally tight, but it’s hard to tell if there is chaos in the capital. The queen mother is worried about you and me, and wants us to stay in the palace.

"When are you leaving?" she asked.

"After the Mid-Autumn Festival." Seeing that she didn't have a special look on her face, Tu Yan couldn't help asking, "Aren't you afraid?"

Lin Qingyun shook her head: "Although I know you must not have lied, such a thing is too far away from me. Even if I know it will happen, I still have no sense of reality. Besides, you are not afraid, what am I afraid of? I also believe that the emperor has made arrangements. "

"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Tu Yan held her hand and lifted the chessboard, revealing a familiar box underneath.Opening the box, there was a gun inside, with a family crest engraved with a capital letter "v" on the gun.

"This is……"

"Father returned it to me, and allowed me to take it to Qiuxi."

Lin Qingyun felt a little more at ease in his heart, and joked with a smile: "Then the prince must practice hard, be careful not to aim correctly when it's time to hunt, and lose face in front of the princes and ministers."

But Tu Yan suddenly brought up the past: "What's the matter with the front sight you mentioned earlier? Tell me about it in detail."

Lin Qingyun paused slightly: "I haven't seen it either. It is said that it is pressed on the body of the gun and used to aim at the target, so it is also called a scope. Last time I chatted with Louise, she also said that she had seen some guns. There is a bayonet on it, which is convenient for close combat." The latter statement is true, it seems that it is not easy to use, and she does not know the specific reason.She really doesn't know much about guns and military affairs, all she knows is common sense.

Tu Yan recalled the guns he saw earlier, and saw the disadvantages at a glance: "I'm afraid it's not very useful. If it's a close combat, the gun body is too long and it's inconvenient to turn around. It's better to carry a dagger with you, it's more convenient to fight. , and it’s easy to carry.”

"It's directly installed on the gun body, making it easy to disassemble, isn't it killing two birds with one stone?"

Tu Yan thinks it is possible, but right now is not the time to think about it.

As soon as the Mid-Autumn Festival was over, the holy drivers were ready, and the arrangements for staying in Beijing were arranged, and the team of Qiu Yu set off in a mighty way.The queen still sits in the central palace, and the emperor ordered Concubine Wu, Concubine Qi Shu, Concubine Rong, Concubine Xiande, and Concubine Zhou to accompany her. However, Concubine Xiande fell ill at the wrong time and had to stay in the palace to recuperate.Tu Yan's carriage followed closely behind the emperor's driver, and Lin Qingyun was in the same carriage, looking at the scenery on both sides through the screen window, only the sound of the wheels of the carriage and horses could be heard in his ears.

Autumn is going on in Iron Net Mountain, and a group of people hastened to set up camp and surround them for defense.

When Lin Qingyun arrived at the place, he immediately got out of the car to stretch his muscles, and the servants moved the belongings in the car into the camp, and prepared hot tea and snacks.She and Tu Yan washed their hands and wiped their faces, drank two sips of hot tea, then Tu Yan went to the emperor's dragon tent in the middle of the field, and she went to Wu Guifei's tent.Now that the empress is in the future, among the concubines, Concubine Wu Guifei is the most respected, and the wives at home and abroad will naturally pay their respects to Concubine Wu.The tents of the palace concubines are behind the emperor's tent, while the tents of the princes are surrounded by dragon tents, and they enter the range of dragon tents after layers of defenses.

Lin Qingyun ran into Concubine Qi Shu leading a person on the way. Although she looked unfamiliar, she was dressed in the clothes of a princess of the county, and she was extremely young and charming. She must be the second concubine and the third daughter of the Zhen family.

"Princess Chun, I'm afraid I haven't seen her before. This is my daughter-in-law Zhenshi, who is two years older than Concubine Chun." Concubine Qi Shu said this, but she never meant to ask Zhenshi to salute.

Lin Qingyun knew Concubine Qi Shu well, and she was not surprised by her behavior, so she nodded and smiled, "So it's the second sister-in-law. It's really the first time I've seen you."

"It's not that I'm lazy to go out. I was a little uncomfortable when I first came to the capital, so I didn't go out and walk around, but just rested in the mansion. Later, it was inconvenient. The mother, concubine and the county king were worried, let alone let me go out to socialize. I was afraid that I would be exhausted. Me." Zhen Shi only smiled shyly, her voice was even softer, with one hand gently resting on her slightly protruding belly, but the arrogance in those eyes was not concealed.

pregnant?

Lin Qingyun was really surprised, but seeing Zhen's expression like this, he was not happy: "I have never heard of it. Congratulations here. It's just that the concubine Shu and the county king are right. You can't be careless when you are pregnant. How can this fall?" But here comes, isn't it dangerous to be bumped all the way? Although I am a younger brother and sister, I shouldn't say this, but the second sister-in-law is really self-willed. If you have something good or bad, how can the concubine Shu and the county king bear it. "

Zhen choked, but didn't know how to reply.

Lin Qingjun said again: "I saw that Princess Cheng looks very good, I really can't tell that she is pregnant. Besides..." Lin Qingyun's expression changed slightly, and the corner of his mouth seemed to be ridiculed: "How long is Princess Cheng's pregnancy?" Is it time? Concubine Zhen Gui passed away at the end of March, but the palace issued a decree that Princess Cheng must not break taboos and violate the laws of the country."

Zhen Shi was young after all, she was suddenly taken aback, and her face turned pale.

Although Concubine Qi Shu on the side was always defeated by Concubine Wu Guifei and the others, after all she had been immersed in the palace for many years, she naturally had the ability to become a concubine, at least she was more calm than Zhen Shi.Concubine Qi Shu pressed Zhen's arm with one hand to comfort her, while smiling at Lin Qingyun, "How dare you enjoy yourself during the period of national filial piety? Princess Chun, don't make wild guesses. If it spreads, how will the emperor's grandchildren be born in the future? This is the imperial physician in the palace. The one who was diagnosed has just turned six months old, and she was conceived before the filial piety." She looked at Zhen Shi with a loving face, and sighed: "My daughter-in-law here is from Jiangnan. It’s not obvious, on weekdays I’m afraid that she will be hungry, and I always persuade her to eat more, but it’s still the same.”

Lin Qingyun didn't believe it in her heart, her stomach was too small, like four months, at most five months.That's all, Concubine Qi Shu wants to buy an imperial physician. It is not difficult, even the emperor would turn a blind eye if he knew about it. After all, if the Supreme Emperor insisted, there would be no such grand funeral specifications as Concubine Zhen Gui.What I didn't expect was that Concubine Zhen Gui was the real aunt of Zhen's family, and that Zhen's family was pregnant during her filial piety, and she participated in the autumn festival regardless of the bumps in the car and horses...

It is estimated that several county kings have their own news channels, and they are all afraid that there will be an accident this time, just like Tu Yan took her, whether it is for the sake of wooing the Zhen family, loving the Zhen family, or because of her pregnancy. , decided to take Zhen Shi by his side to ensure safety.After all, the emperor's holy driver is here, and there is a large army stationed here. If something happens, it will be far stronger than the defense of a county palace.

Thinking of Jia Yuanchun who was sick and future this time...

After some rest, the next day, the autumn season officially kicked off. Lin Qingyun specially changed into a neat long suit and trousers, and followed Tu Yan to ride a horse by the edge of the forest.The opening ceremony was really grand. The emperor shot the first arrow and hit a deer, and then the princes and ministers went hunting.To talk about Tu Yan's weakness, horse riding is one, not to mention hunting, after all, he never had the conditions to practice since he was a child, and now he can only walk around with her to enjoy the scenery.

Lin Qingjun didn't want to let down the good times in vain, so he found guards who could set traps, successfully caught several rabbits, and made braised rabbit meat that night.

While eating the rabbit meat, she thought of An Le, and hurriedly asked Zhang Bao, "Is the rabbit still alive?"

Zhang Bao replied: "A total of five were caught and all of them were slaughtered. One was braised in brown sauce and presented to the emperor, one was sent to Prince Zhongshun's camp, one was fed to the eighth and ninth princes, and the remaining two One braised in brown sauce and one stewed in clear water are all on this table."

"What's wrong?" Tu Yan asked her strangely.

Lin Qingyun waved Zhang Bao to retreat, and said with a bit of shame: "I promised An Le before I came, and I would catch two rabbits for her, but I ate them all."

This time Qiu Yu Anle wanted to come, but the eldest princess refused and sent her to the palace on the grounds that she would accompany the queen.Worrying about an accident in the paddock is one, and An Le's treatment is at a critical time, Fan Shu specifically said that he should not be frightened or stimulated.Fan Shu is worthy of being a descendant of Fan Ah, he has excellent medical skills and is extremely willing to delve into it, finally allowing him to find a proper and effective method to treat An Le's disease, and now he is a distinguished guest of the Grand Princess' Mansion.

Tu Yan heard this, and couldn't help laughing: "What's the big deal, it's only a few days, just catch it when you go back. Besides, those prey were raised in captivity before hunting, for the sake of balance. , every time a batch is released, any prey you want will be available in a few days."

"Hearing what you said, this hunting is not so interesting." Lin Qingyun tasted the rabbit broth, which was light and delicious, and served him a bowl.

Tu Yan tasted the fresh soup, put chopsticks and vegetables for her, and replied to her: "That's what hunting is all about, otherwise you won't be able to hunt anything if you only rely on the prey in the forest."

Lin Qingyun saw that the people were not in front of him, so he lowered his voice and said: "This time, none of the family members who honor the prince came."

"It's okay, Father and Emperor are prepared." Tu Yan probably knew more about the inside story than many people, but he didn't feel too nervous. This matter was under the Emperor's control from the beginning to the end.Filial piety to the prince seems to be done by the Supreme Emperor to rely on the momentum to advance rapidly, but in fact his status is extremely embarrassing, and it has been more than ten years since he was loyal to the old prince. It wouldn't be so that the Taishanghuang would rush to make dangerous moves as soon as he fell ill.

Tu Yan predicted that he would not be able to accomplish anything, and that the matter would break through the palace in chaos, so he brought Lin Qingyun here.

On the evening of the seventh day, the emperor went hunting in person and had a good harvest, so he held a dinner in front of the dragon tent and invited the princes and ministers to attend.It was just getting dark at night, and the tents were full of lamps and bonfires, and the inside and outside were brightly lit.The imperial guards had one post at five steps and one sentry at ten steps. From time to time, patrol teams shuttled between the tents, and the defense was very tight.The palace family ordered the women to arrange a separate table separated by a cloth curtain, presided over by Concubine Wu, Concubine Qi Shu and Concubine Rong were not to be outdone, and there were accompanying ladies chatting and laughing, the atmosphere was very intense.

Lin Qingyun was sitting on the upper right, Princess Zhongshun was on the left, and Princess Huiyi was beside her.Coming back to hunt was right for Princess Huiyi's temper, running away every day without seeing anyone, Princess Zhongshun had no choice but to order the son to follow her closely with his guards.

During the dinner, I always felt that someone was staring at me, with a bit of hostility in their eyes, which was unpleasant.

When she was stared at again, Lin Qingyun followed her gaze and saw a beautiful girl sitting a few tables away, but she looked a little unfamiliar, but the girl with her was familiar.Lin Qingyun remembered that it was the eldest wife of the Prince's Mansion, and she had met several times in the palace.Uncle Taiping's Mansion is the natal family of the emperor's biological mother, and now the emperor's uncle inherits the title. The emperor's biological mother passed away early, and the emperor treated his uncle's family with kindness, but never mentioned his title.Taiping Bo was too old to participate in the autumn festival, only his eldest son and his wife came.After a little guessing, it was known that the identity of the young girl must be the third girl of the chief house of the Taiping Bofu.

Miss He San was caught peeping and appeared, panicked a little, but soon calmed down, and smiled at Lin Qingyun, which was quite provocative.

Lin Qingyun frowned, feeling baffled.

At this time Princess Huiyi came from the opposite side, sat with her, glanced at Miss He San's direction, and said with a sneer: "It's another unclear one, the princess doesn't need to worry about her."

"What do you know? I'm confused right now. It's okay. When did you offend her?" Lin Qingyun vaguely guessed something, but she wasn't sure.

Huiyi smiled teasingly: "Princess really doesn't know? Now who doesn't know that you and the prince are deeply in love with each other, husband and wife get along well, and how many people are envious and jealous. It's nothing like the past, but the prince's health is getting better this year. Still don't go out often, but everyone is not blind, you know what you need to know." The corner of his mouth curled up, and his tone was extremely cold and mocking: "Then He Yuefu wanted to replace you after being jealous."

As expected, it was Tu Yan who provoked the love affair!

Lin Qingjun laughed, not at all nervous: "The Princess's words are interesting. I'm not arrogant. After all, the marriage was bestowed by the royal family. I have no fault at all. How can it be easily replaced by others?"

Princess Huiyi snorted softly: "Princess, don't be careless, what if you make a mistake?"

Lin Qingyun inexplicably thought of what was going to happen this time, feeling uneasy, and finally took Huiyi's reminder to heart.
