[Red Mansion] Queen's Road
Chapter 57: Being a Demon (1)
Linlin brought her back to Tonghua Palace, Concubine Dong quickly wiped away the tears from her face and greeted her.
When the eunuchs rushed in just now, Concubine Dong was scared to death.
No matter how hard they searched, those people couldn't find Princess Shouchun.Concubine Dong felt relieved.But just now I found out that the emperor sent the queen and princes and daughters out early, leaving only these people in the palace alone, my heart was already as cold as ice.
When she saw Princess Shouchun, Concubine Dong didn't care about other things, she hugged her daughter from head to toe, and cried again.
Not only Concubine Dong, but other women in the harem also came to Linlin crying. Since they were also frightened, Linlin had no choice but to calm down and comfort them. These people waited here for a long time and didn't see each other. When it came to the emperor, seeing that it was getting dark, Linlin kicked him out.
Things in the palace were quite chaotic, Linlin couldn't continue to lie back and confine herself to confinement, so she had to recruit various stewards to her to understand how these weapons entered the palace.
One of them replied, "There is a waterway in the West Pool in our palace, and the weapons enter the palace through the waterway."
"Isn't that waterway repaired every month? Bengong has heard that there are three gates made of stone nets and iron nets. Weapons are not small objects, unlike those small fish and shrimps that flow in along the water." , who neglected their duties or deliberately put this batch of weapons into the palace?"
"Going back to your mother, the people guarding the sluice have been taken away by the guards of the inner guard camp."
Linlin breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't that she didn't supervise properly.
"Okay, just say what I said, all the offerings from the Supreme Emperor are the same as before, and the empress dowagers and concubines should not make them feel wronged. Just send them over if you lack anything. If you let me know that you dare to fill it up, you can directly Wash your head and go to the Department of Punishment to receive your sentence."
After beating this group of people, some people reported that some pillars and curtains were damaged in other palaces in the harem because of poor construction in winter, and it was troublesome to repair.
Linlin thought about it. During the Chinese New Year, civil and military officials will come to congratulate her. If her husband and wife still haven't moved into the two main palaces by then, there will inevitably be rumors.
"The harem first builds the Ganlu Hall, and the front court builds the Taiji Hall first."
Ganlu Palace is the queen's bedroom. It is said to be a palace, but it is actually a very large palace group. It is definitely much more solemn and magnificent than the current Tonghua Palace.The Taiji Hall is the emperor's bedroom. The Taishang Emperor just moved out, and it is necessary to clean up the inside, and Linlin just listened to it... All the eunuchs who rebelled were killed in the Taiji Palace.
And just now a steward came to report, saying that the vehicles transporting water to the Tai Chi Hall did not stop all night, and all the water was used to wash the floor.
Both of them were restless, the emperor spent the whole night in the imperial study, and Linlin sat in the main hall of Tonghua Palace all night.
Linlin felt sick and couldn't sleep because of the sudden incident and the smell of blood in the whole palace.The emperor was not unable to sleep. After today's incident, he slept more peacefully. Let him say that he has completely settled down in this country.
After waking up in the morning, he ate three bowls of porridge in one go, touched his beard that had just been trimmed, and asked in a good mood, "Has the queen eaten?"
"I ate it. I didn't eat much. I heard it was also porridge, but I only used half a bowl."
Just as she was talking, Xiang Niu carried a tray with a lot of lists on it, and entered the imperial study.
"This is the list that the empress drew up last night. She said that she is going to reward the clan kings, and let the servants send it to the emperor to have a look. If there is something inappropriate, I will delete it."
The emperor had a real battle with the Supreme Emperor yesterday in the palace. It is impossible that the outside of the palace did not know a little bit of news. The old thing Taishanghuang has been rushed to the corner, everyone should be smarter from now on...
Of course, giving rewards is also a kind of appeasement. It is to tell everyone how to live their lives, and what happened yesterday has nothing to do with everyone...
The emperor was very happy with his patronage, he didn't take the clan into consideration so quickly at all, he was full of thoughts on how to completely pull out the power of the Supreme Emperor from the court, and when he saw these lists at this time, he was quite complacent, and he was so proud. A kind of complacent feeling of "seeing how capable my wife is".
"It's still the empress's thoughtfulness, I don't want to read it, let people just follow this list to reward."
The enthusiastic emperor called his confidant ministers over, and discussed with them about going to Mount Tai to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth in the spring of the next year.
Thinking of horse racing in the treasury, several ministers looked at each other in blank dismay, and then looked at the enthusiastic emperor. Many people shrank their heads and gave this opportunity to Mr. Kou—you are the emperor's teacher, let me tell you!
She didn't sleep all night, Linlin just felt dizzy, rubbed her head and went to greet the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother was frightened yesterday, and she still hasn't recovered yet.
But there happened to be an old nanny slandering her indiscriminately, "...the emperor didn't think about you for such a big matter. It can be seen that he was so fascinated by the queen that he forgot about my mother..."
After Linlin heard this, she wished that someone would drag this old thing out and beat her up. Isn't this a divorce between mother and child? By the way, she didn't leave a good impression in front of the queen mother. She probably has become Daji Baosi Yang Guifei now!
I couldn't help asking angrily, "Who is the talking old man?"
Mantun flicked the whisk in his hand, and spoke to Linlin in a low voice, "The Zhen family who entered the palace with the empress dowager that day lived with the empress dowager under the same roof for many years."
"The maid of the Zhen family?"
Manton nodded.
"This person can't be kept anymore. Someone sent her to Zhen's house in Jiangnan, saying that after a lifetime of hard work, she should go out and enjoy the blessings."
After finishing speaking, he gestured to Mantun with his eyes, and Mantun shouted at the top of his voice, "The empress is here!"
Linlin quickly rubbed her eyes with a handkerchief. She didn't sleep last night. At this time, her eyes were bloodshot, and she came to the Empress Dowager's bed with a low eyebrow, "The empress..."
The Empress Dowager quickly waved her hand to let the person who spoke just now back down, and then asked her maid to move a stool, "Sit down, you are not yet confinement, what do you come to me for, you are all a family, you don't need to pay attention to these vain etiquettes .”
After finishing speaking, he glanced outside, "Didn't you bring the two of them?"
Linlin hurriedly asked Mantun to bring Qilin over, "Bai Ze was sleeping when I went out just now, and he cried when he moved, and I only took Qilin out. Qilin insisted on watching ants on the road, so he just squatted outside. Bring him here."
Only then did the queen mother become joyful, and there were smiles on the corners of her eyes and brows.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law gathered around the unicorn to talk. They were happy at first, but Tian Niu walked in quickly, with a smile on her face, "Ma'am, the emperor sent a message saying that you have approved the deposit of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and handed it over to the outside world." Officer, it's useful over there."
The queen mother waved her hand directly after hearing this, "Go ahead, leave my grandson here, and let us, grandparent and grandson, talk freely."
Before Linlin went out, she heard the Empress Dowager West asking dotingly behind her, "My dear grandson, do you still want to see ants? Let's go together."
I thought in my heart that I really can't let the old man take care of his grandson.
He went out and asked Tian Niu, "What kind of money does the emperor want? Is there no money in the treasury? I feel distressed if I spend more money from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, let alone so much money all at once."
"Niang Niang, don't be stingy this time, not only give, but also give more."
"Why?"
"I heard from Qian Sheng just now. Guess what the money is for. It is for going to Mount Tai in the next year. I heard that the emperor wants to bring our eldest prince to Mount Tai to become the crown prince."
"Sacrificing to heaven and earth canonize the prince, the money should be released from the treasury."
"Ah, Qian Sheng also said this. He said that after the emperor brought this matter up, the adults in court were like a gourd with a sawed mouth. Later, Mr. Kou said that if you want to worship heaven and earth, you can go to the Temple of Heaven. There is no need to go out of the capital to enshrine the crown prince, so there is no need to spend the money, the most important thing is that there is no treasury. Our emperor was annoyed, thinking that what can’t be spent in the treasury can be spent in our private treasury.”
The news of the canonization of the prince has been known for a long time, and Linlin is not very happy. After returning to Tonghua Palace, the emperor has already returned and is sleeping with Princess Shouchun watching Bai Ze.
After sending everyone away, Linlin couldn't help complaining, "It's not that I'm so stingy that I don't want you to use this kind of money. It's too late for me to be happy with the canonization of my son. I just want to say that everything must be public and private. , This kind of thing should be paid by the imperial court, and I will ask Mr. Kou later, whether this money is considered as a loan from the imperial court."
"It's rare for you to be stingy. You have said so much, don't you want me to take less money from you in the future? The treasury is poor and starving to death. If I don't ask you for money this time, who can I turn to?" Ask for money. There is another thing. I looked at the account books of the state treasury today, and I want to get these accounts back."
Linlin thought to herself that since ancient times, it is the uncle who owes money, and the grandson who asks for money.What's more, your father forgave his debts back then.
"I'm afraid I won't come back. The Supreme Emperor canceled all the debts of these old ministers... How can we open our mouths. If we want to hint at them... we will not be able to come this year, let alone hint .”
The emperor would not disagree with Linlin about this matter.
"That's why I'm worried now. Help me figure out a way, how can I make these people pay me obediently."
Linlin thought hard, but she really couldn't figure it out.
"I'm a woman with short knowledge, and I can't think of a way out, but I have some other ideas, do you want to hear them?"
The emperor asked Linlin to speak quickly.
"Just let them pay back the money. They may not be willing to be obedient, so they can only use the following three methods, that is,
Pit, cheat, cheat. "
The emperor nodded and remained silent in thought.
After the pilgrimage was over on New Year's Day, Linlin went back to the apse and brought out her youngest son, Bai Ze, for Jia Min to watch.
Bai Ze was very upset, many people hugged him and looked around today.Especially those princesses, no matter how old or young they were, wanted to hug him. Even Shouchun joined in the fun, and some even stretched out their hands to pinch his little cheeks.
When he was sleeping, he hated people treating him like this the most, and cried loudly when he was unhappy.
Unexpectedly, when he was crying, someone would praise him, "He is full of energy and has a bright voice, he is strong."
……
After finally waiting until noon, these people retreated and were just about to go to bed when they were carried out again.
Not long after the full moon, Bai Ze burst into tears without saying a word.
"This little thing is so delicate, if something goes wrong, it will howl."
Jia Min hugged and swayed a few times, but he didn't expect that Bai Ze would not show face to his grandmother. Jia Min had no choice but to quickly hand Bai Ze to the wet nurse and ask her to put the child on the couch, "It's cold, the child should take good care of it." That's it. Two days ago, the medicinal materials you rewarded at home were used by your brother, and the master asked me to tell you how much I troubled you. Now Jiao'er is recovering, and the imperial doctor said that it will take another half a year to recover."
Lin Ruhai also loved his youngest son very much. He wanted to copy the growth experience of his elder son, so he took him out to visit friends at a young age. Lin Jiao was also obedient, and went out with him a few times. Lin Ruhai was quite satisfied with his well-behaved performance, but When a big man takes care of his children, he is always negligent. The last time he went out with him, he was caught in the wind and cold, and developed a fever at night. The result was out of control, and in the end, the water and rice couldn't get in... Lin Ruhai regretted it and almost cried blind .
After Linlin heard about it, she had someone pack good medicinal materials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and also packed up several imperial doctors who were good at pediatrics, and finally turned the crisis to safety.
After this incident, Jia Min was quite emotional, "I used to be a little displeased with him, but it's so pitiful to see him as a small person, his aunt is gone, and he is not the same age as your brother In my 10s, I love him as much as I love him. In my heart, I can’t go beyond the three of you. It’s just that the master thinks he’s motherless and thinks highly of him for the sake of being the youngest son, but You didn't do anything foolish to flatter him and step on your brother's face."
Linlin didn't know why she had such emotion, "Isn't this good? The family lives in harmony, and he lost his mother early. You raise him well, and in the future he can only respect you, called I said, don't stop him from studying and making progress, even if he gets fame and becomes a high-ranking official in the future, it will be yours if he earns the imperial order."
"I don't expect him to have such a great future... I have said a lot, but it is just a matter of fact. These days, I feel so aggrieved that no one talks about it, so I have to come to the empress to vomit what's in my heart .”
"There's nothing else going on today. Just talk. I'll serve you with good tea and melon seeds. I'm sure you can talk to your heart's content."
"You can also listen happily. You came out of my belly. How can I not know your fancy intestines. If I continue to talk, you want to hear it even more-this is also related to your grandmother. There are calculations."
This is rare!
In Linlin's impression, Jia Min has always been a filial person. Of course, the children raised by the old lady of Rongguo Mansion are all very filial, especially uncle Jia She, who is so filial.
"You say you say."
"Your little brother was ill not long ago. We searched for medicinal materials inside and outside the house. We were short of some medicines and went to the street outside to buy them. The doctor said that the ones bought outside were not good, and the master was so anxious that he fell ill immediately. It's down, didn't I think Rongguo Mansion should have some good medicinal materials? Send someone to get it..."
"Wait, look at what you said, send someone to get it... It's like our own home, just for you, it may not be able to get it!"
"Isn't that right? You got it right. I didn't get the medicine that should be used. I got a piece of ginseng. Our family doesn't use ginseng. I asked many acquaintances to send medicinal materials, and gathered up the missing medicines. Fortunately, it was boiled according to the prescription for your little brother to drink.
The master is sick again, so I can only send your brother out to thank you. When I got to the old lady, the old lady closed the door and told your brother not to worry too much. Your little brother will also divide the family property in the future... ..."
"The old lady shouldn't be so explicit."
"That's what you meant. I didn't believe your younger brother told me when he came back. He met me at the gate of the palace this morning and dragged me into her sedan chair. He still said the same thing."
Linlin hypocritically said, "Grandmother is doing it for your own good."
"I'm not that little daughter-in-law who doesn't understand anything. If Lin Jiao's mother is still alive, and the mother and son are rampant in the yard, I can still listen to her old man saying this, but now Lin Jiao is a three-year-old Son, if I don’t give my best to his treatment and let the master know, the master will be so angry that we will not get along when we meet each other in the future. Even if the master doesn’t know that I have neglected Jiao’er, if the youngest son has Three long and two short can also kill the master half of his life.
You don't even know that the master is very sick now, and if you bring your little brother to him, his body will improve a bit.It's still in Jiangnan that the residual poison was not cleaned up. Now you guys have to exaggerate the good things and tell him, don't let him know the bad things. "
"How have these two days been?"
"I can get up and move around. I reported him sick today and didn't come to see him. I said don't be an official, just take care of him. He is reluctant, thinking about when your brother will be an official and when will he resign This official. In this way, there are people in our family in the court, and the mother can do something at home if there is anything to do."
"I can understand what you mean. After making such a big circle, you just want me to blow the pillow wind, so that the master will continue to be in front of this idle official. It is best not to assign him any work. It is both decent and capable. keep it."
"It's refreshing to talk to your mother."
"You are my own mother. If you have something to say, tell me directly. As for making such a big circle?"
"Although there is such a meaning, it is true that I want to talk to you about what is in my heart. The Lin family has no relatives, only the Rongguo Mansion and our old lady's natal family. Your uncle's place is far away, and we only send them back once a year. As soon as Li Tong wrote back, the Rongguo Mansion came and went more frequently. But now I go to Rongguo Mansion and I always feel uncomfortable, the way your aunt looks at me..."
Linlin suddenly remembered that the first day of the Lunar New Year was still Yuanchun's birthday, "If you don't mention my aunt, I'd forget about my cousin, these few times my aunt or my grandmother didn't stop you It's about my cousin."
"I didn't say it. I used to mention it when we met, but I don't mention it now. Even if I did, I didn't tell you. I guess it won't work if I try hard."
At this point, Jia Min became a little more cautious, "I thought about it carefully, your aunt is a bit different from the past, the last few times I saw that I don't like to talk to you, it is very different from the past, you must know that the old lady said to let your sister I made a pair with Baoyu, your aunt was also very considerate at the time, and she was very moved, but recently I saw that your sister was a little careless, didn't I tell you before? I like Baochai from the Xue family, That girl is really a good girl. Your aunt seems to have taken a fancy to her. When I was not busy years ago, I sent someone to bring Baochai to our house. Your aunt seemed to have misunderstood that I wanted to give Baochai to your brother. Later, I won’t be able to pick up any more…”
Before the mother and daughter could finish speaking, a eunuch outside shouted, "The emperor is here."
Jia Min quickly stood up and said goodbye.
The emperor came in and saw that his mother-in-law was here.
"It seems that I came here by accident, madam, why don't you sit down for a while."
Jia Min didn't dare to sit down anymore, after a few polite words, she led the people away.
There were no outsiders in the room, and the emperor lay on the couch as if he had no bones, "I want to tell you something, don't rush me when you hear it."
"What's the matter? Let me hear."
"Someone paid a lot of money to inquire about my whereabouts. It's not from outside, but in this harem. That's really spreading money all over the sky, much richer than you."
Linlin had a bad feeling, "Who is it? It can't be Jia Yuanchun, right?"
The emperor laughed and didn't answer, turned over and saw his son sleeping on the side, happily hugged the little thing in his arms and patted it twice, Bai Ze couldn't sleep again, and burst into tears again angrily.
Bai Ze's crying attracted Qilin to him, and Qilin was very happy to play with the emperor, and the two of them were muttering on the couch and didn't know what to say.Mantun stretched his head behind the tent, Linlin quietly stood up and went to the door.
"Someone from Huang Guiren came to report that Huang Guiren sent a message to her natal family today, and wanted some magic medicine for conceiving a child."
At present, there are already 5 children in the palace, three boys, two girls, and two pregnant women with big bellies. Huang Guiren sees that those who have children are not as favored as he is, but he is anxious because he can't give birth. In this hurry, I thought of a trick, asking my mother's family to inquire about the secret medicine for giving birth.
"Let them watch carefully, and don't pass things into the palace, especially things like this kind of entrance."
However, there are still some things that can't be prevented. Although Huang Guiren didn't bring the medicine to the palace, he did bring the prescription. After getting the prescription, it was even more troublesome to prepare the medicine.
She started to get sick just after the Chinese New Year, and the brand was withdrawn after she got sick. The imperial doctor went to the doctor a few times and only said that she had a cold.
Linlin thought that she probably wanted to complete the ingredients on that prescription.
He turned a blind eye and said to the person in charge of the medicinal materials, "Let her go, if you want medicinal materials, give them."
All kinds of illnesses have been ill several times, and this medicine has not been assembled for three months.
In the spring of March, everything is thriving. The emperor took the little fat Qilin out, and before leaving, he told Linlin to respect the elderly, raise the children, and guard the house.
If the ministers outside encounter something that is hesitant and needs to be resolved immediately, they can just make up their own minds.
The emperor brought the child back and forth until the hottest time of summer, and the palace was much quieter without this man.
Coupled with the fact that the weather is getting hotter, many people are showing weakness. Those with children closed their doors to raise their children, and those without children quickly cultivated a hobby for themselves to pass the time.
But Linlin couldn't just take it easy. Apart from her own business, she also had to keep an eye on Huang Guiren. Her prescription was finally ready. Listen to the little maids in her yard who couldn't get close. Now start to toss the medicine primer again.
"I heard from the people in Huang Niangniang's yard that fresh rooster blood should be used for the medicine introduction... Huang Niangniang told the Ministry of Internal Affairs that she plans to raise Liuyao chickens to ward off evil spirits, and she must use a big rooster with a thick crown and red feathers."
"What is Liuyao Chicken?"
"Six Yaos of Taoism... I don't know if I haven't read the book."
Linlin thought to herself, is this a serious prescription?
The Ministry of Internal Affairs gave Huang Guiren 6 big roosters.
Huang Guiren boiled these medicines, added flour and wrapped them in honey, how many were made?The big pill is hidden.
These 6 big roosters are also showing off their power in Huang Guiren's yard. I heard that these big roosters are not locked up at ordinary times, and they even grow wings and fly into the yard of Liao Guiren next door, killing the flowers and plants raised by Liao Guiren. countless.Twelve iron claws dug the ground upside down to find insects to eat.
For the first time, Liao Guiren ran to Linlin to complain in the days when there was no greeting.
"My lady, I can't live through this day. It would be nice for any of the ladies in this palace to raise a heart... Those who raise cats, dogs, flowers, and grass, but none of them raise roosters. Chenqie didn’t say anything if she wanted to raise a rooster, but why didn’t she lock up the rooster, those big roosters flew into Chenqie’s yard, and ruined Chenqie’s pots of orchids.”
Huang Guiren's neighbors also took advantage of this opportunity to cry.
"Before dawn, the animals jumped onto the wall and started crowing. The concubines and others have been tossed about for half a month and haven't had a good night's sleep."
"Those little beasts still have wings and fly around. They are all fierce and vicious. They scared the Persian cat raised by my concubine too scared to go out. The cat raised by my concubine is still a kitten now. It's not as big as a slap, so it's no match for these beasts, empress, you have to take care of this matter."
……
Linlin thought to herself that I wasted so much time and lost so much money to deal with your trivial matters... so she was also very angry.
After calling Huang Guiren over, he reprimanded her with a stern face, "Since the roosters you raised have been making troubles, and you even know how to tie up a dog, why don't you lock up those roosters of yours? .”
"It's all chickens..."
"You still have the nerve to talk about chickens. The chickens in your mouth are now as high as someone's calf. I heard that a eunuch beat your door a few days ago, and those chickens ran out and licked their legs. After one bite, the little eunuch's legs were blue for three or four days.
I won't talk nonsense with you, if you don't care about your cocks anymore, I'll ask the eunuchs to catch them all and throw them into the imperial dining room to make chicken soup. "
And appeased the previous concubines, "The things she raised are a little noisy, you should be more tolerant, even if you have a cat or a dog, they will run out to make trouble, and they are all neighbors. It's good to be safe."
Liao Guiren, who had died several pots of flowers, also picked a few pots back from the flower room, and Linlin picked a few pots of orchids in the palace that were specially provided for the emperor to reward Liao Guiren.
And people rewarded other people with something, and this matter was considered to be suppressed.
Huang Guiren asked someone to build a chicken pen in the yard. Although these chickens crowed every day before dawn, they couldn't go out to harm the owner and the west.
Not long after that, news came from outside that the emperor had sacrificed to Mount Tai and registered the crown prince, and he had already begun to return to Luan.
Linlin took the imperial edict of the crown prince and read it again and again, and found that the name "Cui Xuan" hastily been given to Qilin.
According to the eunuch who sent the letter, "...that day when we walked to the foot of Mount Tai, after the officials from Ludi visited, the emperor ordered Lord Kou to write an imperial edict for later use, and Lord Kou asked the prince's name. Our emperor looked up at the sun in the sky. It was noon at that time, and the person taking the photo couldn't open his eyes, so the emperor said to use 'Xuan'".
Linlin almost covered her face after hearing this, Qilin, my mother is sorry for you, calling you by your nickname every day, forgetting that you don't have a real name!
"Bai Niu, when the two of them left, I always felt that there was something I couldn't remember. I asked you, and you took everything you said, and nothing was missing...but I just forgot to discuss it with the emperor. What name did you give the prince?"
"There are many people who follow the emperor to sacrifice to heaven. This name was given by the emperor. Since it can be used in the imperial edict, those educated adults must also think it is good. Are you worried that it doesn't sound good?"
"It's not bad... I feel a little sorry for Qilin. I didn't give him a name when I was doing business. It was a word I picked out in a hurry. You should remember this in the future. Bai Ze can't." Do it again."
Looking forward to the stars and looking forward to the moon, they are finally looking forward to their return soon. Linlin received the news that they have set up camp fifty miles away from the capital today, and they will be able to enter the city tomorrow.
I thought about it again in my heart: my son's clothes are made, because I haven't seen him for several months, I must have grown taller, so I made them a little bigger, I don't know if they are suitable for wearing.I don't know if my son is tanned or not. After being canonized as the crown prince, I will move to live in the East Palace. I am a little bit reluctant, so I try to find a way to make people repair the East Palace slowly. It will be a day if it can be delayed!
As for the emperor's side, Linlin didn't think of anything to add there for now, let's talk about it later, anyway, there is no shortage of him in the palace.
After thinking about it, and checking it with other people, Linlin put her arms around Erbao and fell asleep with confidence.
Because he brought his second treasure, Bai Ze, although there was a lot of ice in the bedroom, the mother and son were still covered with a very thin quilt. Before going to bed, Bai Zhe played with his mother, deliberately shrinking into the quilt, playing and sleeping When she was asleep, Linlin also closed her eyes in a daze of consciousness, not getting her son out from under the quilt.
Just after sleeping for a while, I heard a few exclamations from outside. As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw a calf rushing in, shouting excitedly while rushing, "Mother, stepmother, stepmother, son misses you!"
Qilin, who was as strong as a calf, rushed to the bed and climbed up with hands and feet. Linlin quickly put up an arm to block him, so as not to let him press down on her younger brother.
In the next quarter of an hour, Qilin jumped up and down on the bed several times. He was so excited that he told Linlin what he had seen on the road, such as big mountains and rivers, big boats and horses. Talking about a big rock... The emperor slapped his forehead with a headache and fell to the end of the bed, "I'm going to annoy him to death. I have to ask everything I see along the way?"
"...I also saw a big mouse, so long, with such a long tail, it was caught by an eagle flying down from the sky so quickly, cough...cough..."
Because he was so excited, he choked on his own saliva.
"The queen mother knows, the queen mother knows, good boy, speak slowly, do you want a glass of water? Are you hungry? Thirsty or not? Do you want to eat anything? Do you want to sleep?"
"I don't want to eat or be thirsty, and I don't want to feel sleepy, so I just want to talk to the queen mother."
The emperor behind him showed a desperate expression, collapsed on the bed and did not speak.
Linlin lifted the quilt, moved the younger son outside, and let the older son sleep between herself and the younger son.
Qilin became even more excited. He kicked off his shoes and lay between his mother and younger brother. The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. He lay on the bed and continued to talk... In the end, he couldn't resist the exhaustion all over his body. His voice gradually became smaller and smaller, and his eyelids became heavier and heavier. , Linlin patted him sideways, watching him slowly fall asleep.
"Sleeping. It's hard work, the emperor. It must be hard and tiring to bring this devil in the world."
The emperor stood up and went to the door, and let the wet nurses who were waiting outside come in and carry the two boys out.
After there was no one in the room, Linlin helped him untie his belt and hung it on the screen at one side, and the emperor felt a little bit emotional, "Don't talk about the pommel horse on this journey, there is such a saying that it is not good for a basket to rest if you want to rest. Qilin didn’t get annoyed. Along the way, Qilin also did some stupid things. At that time, he was so angry that he couldn’t laugh or cry, or he wanted to kill him. After thinking about it, he couldn’t bring up the desire to kill him. Instead, he felt that the child was smart and smart. Thinking about it, parents love their sons in the same way.”
"What did he do?"
"In the first few days when he set up camp, he ran to Huotouying and saw people washing rice and clamoring for help. How dare those people ask him to help? They advised him to just sit there and watch, but he didn't take a look. The kid poured the salt into the basin, saying that he wanted to wash it out, and it turned out to be a basin of salt water."
Linlin laughed loudly when she heard this, "Is this the only thing? There must be other things. The emperor made me happy when he said it."
"He has more than one thing to do, but I don't want to say it at this moment. My father and son took advantage of the beautiful scenery and boundless night to rush back. In addition to my son missing my mother, I also miss my beloved wife. It's gone. Wife, wife, child, let's rest."
The emperor came back, and the whole harem boiled up. These ladies changed their usual lazy and listless appearance, and all of them tidied themselves up in a glamorous manner, waiting to see the king.
The emperor stayed with the empress, mother and son in the Ganlu Hall for more than ten years before he began to visit the harem.
After waiting for another half month, Huang Gui just waited for the opportunity.The eunuch spread the word that the emperor is staying in her courtyard today.
She took out the original pills and asked the eunuchs in the palace to kill chickens.
But the few big roosters she raised were the master chickens. It took four or five people all afternoon to catch two roosters. The chicken was full of blood.
Liao Guiren next door to Huang Guiren heard the commotion over there, and quickly asked people to hide the flowers and plants in the house. Sure enough, after waiting for a while, a big rooster flew in from the yard, clucking and rushing into the wing room to hide. caught.
Guiren Liao led someone to stand under the corridor, and patted his chest, "I knew I couldn't be neighbors with that bitch next door. I have to find a chance to beg the empress to let me change the yard."
As soon as I finished speaking, the person next door screamed, "Plop!" Another chicken flew up the wall. The most penetrating thing was that the chicken's neck was still bleeding, and the blood was pouring, and the chicken was dangling on the wall. After falling down twice, he flung and struggled in front of a group of people, chicken blood splattered everywhere, seeing this big rooster rushing towards him, Liao Guiren screamed in fright, rolled his eyes and fainted past.
The court ladies and eunuchs beside Liao Guiren were in a hurry, and several powerful nuns quickly moved Liao Guiren to the bed inside, and sent two teams of eunuchs, one to invite the imperial physician, and the other to lodge a complaint in the Ganlu Palace.
Linlin heard the reply from the people around Liao Guiren, and asked people to call Huang Guiren.
"Why are you so troublesome? Why are you killing chickens in broad daylight? Why don't you send them to the imperial dining room? They are not as familiar with killing chickens as you are? Look at what you are doing. How many people come here to sue you at this moment? Your chicken... why did you jump into Liao Guiren's yard in a bloody mess, and you have fainted from your fright, do you know?"
"Your Majesty, calm down first. After a while, the concubine will go to Liao Guiren's yard to apologize. Today, the eunuch in the study in front of me has said that the emperor is going to come to the concubine's yard. Does the concubine want to kill the chickens he raises and cook them for the emperor?" Soup...you will spare the concubine this time, there will be no next time."
Just as he was talking, Liao Guiren came, and he knelt there with his skirt lifted
When the eunuchs rushed in just now, Concubine Dong was scared to death.
No matter how hard they searched, those people couldn't find Princess Shouchun.Concubine Dong felt relieved.But just now I found out that the emperor sent the queen and princes and daughters out early, leaving only these people in the palace alone, my heart was already as cold as ice.
When she saw Princess Shouchun, Concubine Dong didn't care about other things, she hugged her daughter from head to toe, and cried again.
Not only Concubine Dong, but other women in the harem also came to Linlin crying. Since they were also frightened, Linlin had no choice but to calm down and comfort them. These people waited here for a long time and didn't see each other. When it came to the emperor, seeing that it was getting dark, Linlin kicked him out.
Things in the palace were quite chaotic, Linlin couldn't continue to lie back and confine herself to confinement, so she had to recruit various stewards to her to understand how these weapons entered the palace.
One of them replied, "There is a waterway in the West Pool in our palace, and the weapons enter the palace through the waterway."
"Isn't that waterway repaired every month? Bengong has heard that there are three gates made of stone nets and iron nets. Weapons are not small objects, unlike those small fish and shrimps that flow in along the water." , who neglected their duties or deliberately put this batch of weapons into the palace?"
"Going back to your mother, the people guarding the sluice have been taken away by the guards of the inner guard camp."
Linlin breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't that she didn't supervise properly.
"Okay, just say what I said, all the offerings from the Supreme Emperor are the same as before, and the empress dowagers and concubines should not make them feel wronged. Just send them over if you lack anything. If you let me know that you dare to fill it up, you can directly Wash your head and go to the Department of Punishment to receive your sentence."
After beating this group of people, some people reported that some pillars and curtains were damaged in other palaces in the harem because of poor construction in winter, and it was troublesome to repair.
Linlin thought about it. During the Chinese New Year, civil and military officials will come to congratulate her. If her husband and wife still haven't moved into the two main palaces by then, there will inevitably be rumors.
"The harem first builds the Ganlu Hall, and the front court builds the Taiji Hall first."
Ganlu Palace is the queen's bedroom. It is said to be a palace, but it is actually a very large palace group. It is definitely much more solemn and magnificent than the current Tonghua Palace.The Taiji Hall is the emperor's bedroom. The Taishang Emperor just moved out, and it is necessary to clean up the inside, and Linlin just listened to it... All the eunuchs who rebelled were killed in the Taiji Palace.
And just now a steward came to report, saying that the vehicles transporting water to the Tai Chi Hall did not stop all night, and all the water was used to wash the floor.
Both of them were restless, the emperor spent the whole night in the imperial study, and Linlin sat in the main hall of Tonghua Palace all night.
Linlin felt sick and couldn't sleep because of the sudden incident and the smell of blood in the whole palace.The emperor was not unable to sleep. After today's incident, he slept more peacefully. Let him say that he has completely settled down in this country.
After waking up in the morning, he ate three bowls of porridge in one go, touched his beard that had just been trimmed, and asked in a good mood, "Has the queen eaten?"
"I ate it. I didn't eat much. I heard it was also porridge, but I only used half a bowl."
Just as she was talking, Xiang Niu carried a tray with a lot of lists on it, and entered the imperial study.
"This is the list that the empress drew up last night. She said that she is going to reward the clan kings, and let the servants send it to the emperor to have a look. If there is something inappropriate, I will delete it."
The emperor had a real battle with the Supreme Emperor yesterday in the palace. It is impossible that the outside of the palace did not know a little bit of news. The old thing Taishanghuang has been rushed to the corner, everyone should be smarter from now on...
Of course, giving rewards is also a kind of appeasement. It is to tell everyone how to live their lives, and what happened yesterday has nothing to do with everyone...
The emperor was very happy with his patronage, he didn't take the clan into consideration so quickly at all, he was full of thoughts on how to completely pull out the power of the Supreme Emperor from the court, and when he saw these lists at this time, he was quite complacent, and he was so proud. A kind of complacent feeling of "seeing how capable my wife is".
"It's still the empress's thoughtfulness, I don't want to read it, let people just follow this list to reward."
The enthusiastic emperor called his confidant ministers over, and discussed with them about going to Mount Tai to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth in the spring of the next year.
Thinking of horse racing in the treasury, several ministers looked at each other in blank dismay, and then looked at the enthusiastic emperor. Many people shrank their heads and gave this opportunity to Mr. Kou—you are the emperor's teacher, let me tell you!
She didn't sleep all night, Linlin just felt dizzy, rubbed her head and went to greet the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother was frightened yesterday, and she still hasn't recovered yet.
But there happened to be an old nanny slandering her indiscriminately, "...the emperor didn't think about you for such a big matter. It can be seen that he was so fascinated by the queen that he forgot about my mother..."
After Linlin heard this, she wished that someone would drag this old thing out and beat her up. Isn't this a divorce between mother and child? By the way, she didn't leave a good impression in front of the queen mother. She probably has become Daji Baosi Yang Guifei now!
I couldn't help asking angrily, "Who is the talking old man?"
Mantun flicked the whisk in his hand, and spoke to Linlin in a low voice, "The Zhen family who entered the palace with the empress dowager that day lived with the empress dowager under the same roof for many years."
"The maid of the Zhen family?"
Manton nodded.
"This person can't be kept anymore. Someone sent her to Zhen's house in Jiangnan, saying that after a lifetime of hard work, she should go out and enjoy the blessings."
After finishing speaking, he gestured to Mantun with his eyes, and Mantun shouted at the top of his voice, "The empress is here!"
Linlin quickly rubbed her eyes with a handkerchief. She didn't sleep last night. At this time, her eyes were bloodshot, and she came to the Empress Dowager's bed with a low eyebrow, "The empress..."
The Empress Dowager quickly waved her hand to let the person who spoke just now back down, and then asked her maid to move a stool, "Sit down, you are not yet confinement, what do you come to me for, you are all a family, you don't need to pay attention to these vain etiquettes .”
After finishing speaking, he glanced outside, "Didn't you bring the two of them?"
Linlin hurriedly asked Mantun to bring Qilin over, "Bai Ze was sleeping when I went out just now, and he cried when he moved, and I only took Qilin out. Qilin insisted on watching ants on the road, so he just squatted outside. Bring him here."
Only then did the queen mother become joyful, and there were smiles on the corners of her eyes and brows.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law gathered around the unicorn to talk. They were happy at first, but Tian Niu walked in quickly, with a smile on her face, "Ma'am, the emperor sent a message saying that you have approved the deposit of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and handed it over to the outside world." Officer, it's useful over there."
The queen mother waved her hand directly after hearing this, "Go ahead, leave my grandson here, and let us, grandparent and grandson, talk freely."
Before Linlin went out, she heard the Empress Dowager West asking dotingly behind her, "My dear grandson, do you still want to see ants? Let's go together."
I thought in my heart that I really can't let the old man take care of his grandson.
He went out and asked Tian Niu, "What kind of money does the emperor want? Is there no money in the treasury? I feel distressed if I spend more money from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, let alone so much money all at once."
"Niang Niang, don't be stingy this time, not only give, but also give more."
"Why?"
"I heard from Qian Sheng just now. Guess what the money is for. It is for going to Mount Tai in the next year. I heard that the emperor wants to bring our eldest prince to Mount Tai to become the crown prince."
"Sacrificing to heaven and earth canonize the prince, the money should be released from the treasury."
"Ah, Qian Sheng also said this. He said that after the emperor brought this matter up, the adults in court were like a gourd with a sawed mouth. Later, Mr. Kou said that if you want to worship heaven and earth, you can go to the Temple of Heaven. There is no need to go out of the capital to enshrine the crown prince, so there is no need to spend the money, the most important thing is that there is no treasury. Our emperor was annoyed, thinking that what can’t be spent in the treasury can be spent in our private treasury.”
The news of the canonization of the prince has been known for a long time, and Linlin is not very happy. After returning to Tonghua Palace, the emperor has already returned and is sleeping with Princess Shouchun watching Bai Ze.
After sending everyone away, Linlin couldn't help complaining, "It's not that I'm so stingy that I don't want you to use this kind of money. It's too late for me to be happy with the canonization of my son. I just want to say that everything must be public and private. , This kind of thing should be paid by the imperial court, and I will ask Mr. Kou later, whether this money is considered as a loan from the imperial court."
"It's rare for you to be stingy. You have said so much, don't you want me to take less money from you in the future? The treasury is poor and starving to death. If I don't ask you for money this time, who can I turn to?" Ask for money. There is another thing. I looked at the account books of the state treasury today, and I want to get these accounts back."
Linlin thought to herself that since ancient times, it is the uncle who owes money, and the grandson who asks for money.What's more, your father forgave his debts back then.
"I'm afraid I won't come back. The Supreme Emperor canceled all the debts of these old ministers... How can we open our mouths. If we want to hint at them... we will not be able to come this year, let alone hint .”
The emperor would not disagree with Linlin about this matter.
"That's why I'm worried now. Help me figure out a way, how can I make these people pay me obediently."
Linlin thought hard, but she really couldn't figure it out.
"I'm a woman with short knowledge, and I can't think of a way out, but I have some other ideas, do you want to hear them?"
The emperor asked Linlin to speak quickly.
"Just let them pay back the money. They may not be willing to be obedient, so they can only use the following three methods, that is,
Pit, cheat, cheat. "
The emperor nodded and remained silent in thought.
After the pilgrimage was over on New Year's Day, Linlin went back to the apse and brought out her youngest son, Bai Ze, for Jia Min to watch.
Bai Ze was very upset, many people hugged him and looked around today.Especially those princesses, no matter how old or young they were, wanted to hug him. Even Shouchun joined in the fun, and some even stretched out their hands to pinch his little cheeks.
When he was sleeping, he hated people treating him like this the most, and cried loudly when he was unhappy.
Unexpectedly, when he was crying, someone would praise him, "He is full of energy and has a bright voice, he is strong."
……
After finally waiting until noon, these people retreated and were just about to go to bed when they were carried out again.
Not long after the full moon, Bai Ze burst into tears without saying a word.
"This little thing is so delicate, if something goes wrong, it will howl."
Jia Min hugged and swayed a few times, but he didn't expect that Bai Ze would not show face to his grandmother. Jia Min had no choice but to quickly hand Bai Ze to the wet nurse and ask her to put the child on the couch, "It's cold, the child should take good care of it." That's it. Two days ago, the medicinal materials you rewarded at home were used by your brother, and the master asked me to tell you how much I troubled you. Now Jiao'er is recovering, and the imperial doctor said that it will take another half a year to recover."
Lin Ruhai also loved his youngest son very much. He wanted to copy the growth experience of his elder son, so he took him out to visit friends at a young age. Lin Jiao was also obedient, and went out with him a few times. Lin Ruhai was quite satisfied with his well-behaved performance, but When a big man takes care of his children, he is always negligent. The last time he went out with him, he was caught in the wind and cold, and developed a fever at night. The result was out of control, and in the end, the water and rice couldn't get in... Lin Ruhai regretted it and almost cried blind .
After Linlin heard about it, she had someone pack good medicinal materials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and also packed up several imperial doctors who were good at pediatrics, and finally turned the crisis to safety.
After this incident, Jia Min was quite emotional, "I used to be a little displeased with him, but it's so pitiful to see him as a small person, his aunt is gone, and he is not the same age as your brother In my 10s, I love him as much as I love him. In my heart, I can’t go beyond the three of you. It’s just that the master thinks he’s motherless and thinks highly of him for the sake of being the youngest son, but You didn't do anything foolish to flatter him and step on your brother's face."
Linlin didn't know why she had such emotion, "Isn't this good? The family lives in harmony, and he lost his mother early. You raise him well, and in the future he can only respect you, called I said, don't stop him from studying and making progress, even if he gets fame and becomes a high-ranking official in the future, it will be yours if he earns the imperial order."
"I don't expect him to have such a great future... I have said a lot, but it is just a matter of fact. These days, I feel so aggrieved that no one talks about it, so I have to come to the empress to vomit what's in my heart .”
"There's nothing else going on today. Just talk. I'll serve you with good tea and melon seeds. I'm sure you can talk to your heart's content."
"You can also listen happily. You came out of my belly. How can I not know your fancy intestines. If I continue to talk, you want to hear it even more-this is also related to your grandmother. There are calculations."
This is rare!
In Linlin's impression, Jia Min has always been a filial person. Of course, the children raised by the old lady of Rongguo Mansion are all very filial, especially uncle Jia She, who is so filial.
"You say you say."
"Your little brother was ill not long ago. We searched for medicinal materials inside and outside the house. We were short of some medicines and went to the street outside to buy them. The doctor said that the ones bought outside were not good, and the master was so anxious that he fell ill immediately. It's down, didn't I think Rongguo Mansion should have some good medicinal materials? Send someone to get it..."
"Wait, look at what you said, send someone to get it... It's like our own home, just for you, it may not be able to get it!"
"Isn't that right? You got it right. I didn't get the medicine that should be used. I got a piece of ginseng. Our family doesn't use ginseng. I asked many acquaintances to send medicinal materials, and gathered up the missing medicines. Fortunately, it was boiled according to the prescription for your little brother to drink.
The master is sick again, so I can only send your brother out to thank you. When I got to the old lady, the old lady closed the door and told your brother not to worry too much. Your little brother will also divide the family property in the future... ..."
"The old lady shouldn't be so explicit."
"That's what you meant. I didn't believe your younger brother told me when he came back. He met me at the gate of the palace this morning and dragged me into her sedan chair. He still said the same thing."
Linlin hypocritically said, "Grandmother is doing it for your own good."
"I'm not that little daughter-in-law who doesn't understand anything. If Lin Jiao's mother is still alive, and the mother and son are rampant in the yard, I can still listen to her old man saying this, but now Lin Jiao is a three-year-old Son, if I don’t give my best to his treatment and let the master know, the master will be so angry that we will not get along when we meet each other in the future. Even if the master doesn’t know that I have neglected Jiao’er, if the youngest son has Three long and two short can also kill the master half of his life.
You don't even know that the master is very sick now, and if you bring your little brother to him, his body will improve a bit.It's still in Jiangnan that the residual poison was not cleaned up. Now you guys have to exaggerate the good things and tell him, don't let him know the bad things. "
"How have these two days been?"
"I can get up and move around. I reported him sick today and didn't come to see him. I said don't be an official, just take care of him. He is reluctant, thinking about when your brother will be an official and when will he resign This official. In this way, there are people in our family in the court, and the mother can do something at home if there is anything to do."
"I can understand what you mean. After making such a big circle, you just want me to blow the pillow wind, so that the master will continue to be in front of this idle official. It is best not to assign him any work. It is both decent and capable. keep it."
"It's refreshing to talk to your mother."
"You are my own mother. If you have something to say, tell me directly. As for making such a big circle?"
"Although there is such a meaning, it is true that I want to talk to you about what is in my heart. The Lin family has no relatives, only the Rongguo Mansion and our old lady's natal family. Your uncle's place is far away, and we only send them back once a year. As soon as Li Tong wrote back, the Rongguo Mansion came and went more frequently. But now I go to Rongguo Mansion and I always feel uncomfortable, the way your aunt looks at me..."
Linlin suddenly remembered that the first day of the Lunar New Year was still Yuanchun's birthday, "If you don't mention my aunt, I'd forget about my cousin, these few times my aunt or my grandmother didn't stop you It's about my cousin."
"I didn't say it. I used to mention it when we met, but I don't mention it now. Even if I did, I didn't tell you. I guess it won't work if I try hard."
At this point, Jia Min became a little more cautious, "I thought about it carefully, your aunt is a bit different from the past, the last few times I saw that I don't like to talk to you, it is very different from the past, you must know that the old lady said to let your sister I made a pair with Baoyu, your aunt was also very considerate at the time, and she was very moved, but recently I saw that your sister was a little careless, didn't I tell you before? I like Baochai from the Xue family, That girl is really a good girl. Your aunt seems to have taken a fancy to her. When I was not busy years ago, I sent someone to bring Baochai to our house. Your aunt seemed to have misunderstood that I wanted to give Baochai to your brother. Later, I won’t be able to pick up any more…”
Before the mother and daughter could finish speaking, a eunuch outside shouted, "The emperor is here."
Jia Min quickly stood up and said goodbye.
The emperor came in and saw that his mother-in-law was here.
"It seems that I came here by accident, madam, why don't you sit down for a while."
Jia Min didn't dare to sit down anymore, after a few polite words, she led the people away.
There were no outsiders in the room, and the emperor lay on the couch as if he had no bones, "I want to tell you something, don't rush me when you hear it."
"What's the matter? Let me hear."
"Someone paid a lot of money to inquire about my whereabouts. It's not from outside, but in this harem. That's really spreading money all over the sky, much richer than you."
Linlin had a bad feeling, "Who is it? It can't be Jia Yuanchun, right?"
The emperor laughed and didn't answer, turned over and saw his son sleeping on the side, happily hugged the little thing in his arms and patted it twice, Bai Ze couldn't sleep again, and burst into tears again angrily.
Bai Ze's crying attracted Qilin to him, and Qilin was very happy to play with the emperor, and the two of them were muttering on the couch and didn't know what to say.Mantun stretched his head behind the tent, Linlin quietly stood up and went to the door.
"Someone from Huang Guiren came to report that Huang Guiren sent a message to her natal family today, and wanted some magic medicine for conceiving a child."
At present, there are already 5 children in the palace, three boys, two girls, and two pregnant women with big bellies. Huang Guiren sees that those who have children are not as favored as he is, but he is anxious because he can't give birth. In this hurry, I thought of a trick, asking my mother's family to inquire about the secret medicine for giving birth.
"Let them watch carefully, and don't pass things into the palace, especially things like this kind of entrance."
However, there are still some things that can't be prevented. Although Huang Guiren didn't bring the medicine to the palace, he did bring the prescription. After getting the prescription, it was even more troublesome to prepare the medicine.
She started to get sick just after the Chinese New Year, and the brand was withdrawn after she got sick. The imperial doctor went to the doctor a few times and only said that she had a cold.
Linlin thought that she probably wanted to complete the ingredients on that prescription.
He turned a blind eye and said to the person in charge of the medicinal materials, "Let her go, if you want medicinal materials, give them."
All kinds of illnesses have been ill several times, and this medicine has not been assembled for three months.
In the spring of March, everything is thriving. The emperor took the little fat Qilin out, and before leaving, he told Linlin to respect the elderly, raise the children, and guard the house.
If the ministers outside encounter something that is hesitant and needs to be resolved immediately, they can just make up their own minds.
The emperor brought the child back and forth until the hottest time of summer, and the palace was much quieter without this man.
Coupled with the fact that the weather is getting hotter, many people are showing weakness. Those with children closed their doors to raise their children, and those without children quickly cultivated a hobby for themselves to pass the time.
But Linlin couldn't just take it easy. Apart from her own business, she also had to keep an eye on Huang Guiren. Her prescription was finally ready. Listen to the little maids in her yard who couldn't get close. Now start to toss the medicine primer again.
"I heard from the people in Huang Niangniang's yard that fresh rooster blood should be used for the medicine introduction... Huang Niangniang told the Ministry of Internal Affairs that she plans to raise Liuyao chickens to ward off evil spirits, and she must use a big rooster with a thick crown and red feathers."
"What is Liuyao Chicken?"
"Six Yaos of Taoism... I don't know if I haven't read the book."
Linlin thought to herself, is this a serious prescription?
The Ministry of Internal Affairs gave Huang Guiren 6 big roosters.
Huang Guiren boiled these medicines, added flour and wrapped them in honey, how many were made?The big pill is hidden.
These 6 big roosters are also showing off their power in Huang Guiren's yard. I heard that these big roosters are not locked up at ordinary times, and they even grow wings and fly into the yard of Liao Guiren next door, killing the flowers and plants raised by Liao Guiren. countless.Twelve iron claws dug the ground upside down to find insects to eat.
For the first time, Liao Guiren ran to Linlin to complain in the days when there was no greeting.
"My lady, I can't live through this day. It would be nice for any of the ladies in this palace to raise a heart... Those who raise cats, dogs, flowers, and grass, but none of them raise roosters. Chenqie didn’t say anything if she wanted to raise a rooster, but why didn’t she lock up the rooster, those big roosters flew into Chenqie’s yard, and ruined Chenqie’s pots of orchids.”
Huang Guiren's neighbors also took advantage of this opportunity to cry.
"Before dawn, the animals jumped onto the wall and started crowing. The concubines and others have been tossed about for half a month and haven't had a good night's sleep."
"Those little beasts still have wings and fly around. They are all fierce and vicious. They scared the Persian cat raised by my concubine too scared to go out. The cat raised by my concubine is still a kitten now. It's not as big as a slap, so it's no match for these beasts, empress, you have to take care of this matter."
……
Linlin thought to herself that I wasted so much time and lost so much money to deal with your trivial matters... so she was also very angry.
After calling Huang Guiren over, he reprimanded her with a stern face, "Since the roosters you raised have been making troubles, and you even know how to tie up a dog, why don't you lock up those roosters of yours? .”
"It's all chickens..."
"You still have the nerve to talk about chickens. The chickens in your mouth are now as high as someone's calf. I heard that a eunuch beat your door a few days ago, and those chickens ran out and licked their legs. After one bite, the little eunuch's legs were blue for three or four days.
I won't talk nonsense with you, if you don't care about your cocks anymore, I'll ask the eunuchs to catch them all and throw them into the imperial dining room to make chicken soup. "
And appeased the previous concubines, "The things she raised are a little noisy, you should be more tolerant, even if you have a cat or a dog, they will run out to make trouble, and they are all neighbors. It's good to be safe."
Liao Guiren, who had died several pots of flowers, also picked a few pots back from the flower room, and Linlin picked a few pots of orchids in the palace that were specially provided for the emperor to reward Liao Guiren.
And people rewarded other people with something, and this matter was considered to be suppressed.
Huang Guiren asked someone to build a chicken pen in the yard. Although these chickens crowed every day before dawn, they couldn't go out to harm the owner and the west.
Not long after that, news came from outside that the emperor had sacrificed to Mount Tai and registered the crown prince, and he had already begun to return to Luan.
Linlin took the imperial edict of the crown prince and read it again and again, and found that the name "Cui Xuan" hastily been given to Qilin.
According to the eunuch who sent the letter, "...that day when we walked to the foot of Mount Tai, after the officials from Ludi visited, the emperor ordered Lord Kou to write an imperial edict for later use, and Lord Kou asked the prince's name. Our emperor looked up at the sun in the sky. It was noon at that time, and the person taking the photo couldn't open his eyes, so the emperor said to use 'Xuan'".
Linlin almost covered her face after hearing this, Qilin, my mother is sorry for you, calling you by your nickname every day, forgetting that you don't have a real name!
"Bai Niu, when the two of them left, I always felt that there was something I couldn't remember. I asked you, and you took everything you said, and nothing was missing...but I just forgot to discuss it with the emperor. What name did you give the prince?"
"There are many people who follow the emperor to sacrifice to heaven. This name was given by the emperor. Since it can be used in the imperial edict, those educated adults must also think it is good. Are you worried that it doesn't sound good?"
"It's not bad... I feel a little sorry for Qilin. I didn't give him a name when I was doing business. It was a word I picked out in a hurry. You should remember this in the future. Bai Ze can't." Do it again."
Looking forward to the stars and looking forward to the moon, they are finally looking forward to their return soon. Linlin received the news that they have set up camp fifty miles away from the capital today, and they will be able to enter the city tomorrow.
I thought about it again in my heart: my son's clothes are made, because I haven't seen him for several months, I must have grown taller, so I made them a little bigger, I don't know if they are suitable for wearing.I don't know if my son is tanned or not. After being canonized as the crown prince, I will move to live in the East Palace. I am a little bit reluctant, so I try to find a way to make people repair the East Palace slowly. It will be a day if it can be delayed!
As for the emperor's side, Linlin didn't think of anything to add there for now, let's talk about it later, anyway, there is no shortage of him in the palace.
After thinking about it, and checking it with other people, Linlin put her arms around Erbao and fell asleep with confidence.
Because he brought his second treasure, Bai Ze, although there was a lot of ice in the bedroom, the mother and son were still covered with a very thin quilt. Before going to bed, Bai Zhe played with his mother, deliberately shrinking into the quilt, playing and sleeping When she was asleep, Linlin also closed her eyes in a daze of consciousness, not getting her son out from under the quilt.
Just after sleeping for a while, I heard a few exclamations from outside. As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw a calf rushing in, shouting excitedly while rushing, "Mother, stepmother, stepmother, son misses you!"
Qilin, who was as strong as a calf, rushed to the bed and climbed up with hands and feet. Linlin quickly put up an arm to block him, so as not to let him press down on her younger brother.
In the next quarter of an hour, Qilin jumped up and down on the bed several times. He was so excited that he told Linlin what he had seen on the road, such as big mountains and rivers, big boats and horses. Talking about a big rock... The emperor slapped his forehead with a headache and fell to the end of the bed, "I'm going to annoy him to death. I have to ask everything I see along the way?"
"...I also saw a big mouse, so long, with such a long tail, it was caught by an eagle flying down from the sky so quickly, cough...cough..."
Because he was so excited, he choked on his own saliva.
"The queen mother knows, the queen mother knows, good boy, speak slowly, do you want a glass of water? Are you hungry? Thirsty or not? Do you want to eat anything? Do you want to sleep?"
"I don't want to eat or be thirsty, and I don't want to feel sleepy, so I just want to talk to the queen mother."
The emperor behind him showed a desperate expression, collapsed on the bed and did not speak.
Linlin lifted the quilt, moved the younger son outside, and let the older son sleep between herself and the younger son.
Qilin became even more excited. He kicked off his shoes and lay between his mother and younger brother. The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. He lay on the bed and continued to talk... In the end, he couldn't resist the exhaustion all over his body. His voice gradually became smaller and smaller, and his eyelids became heavier and heavier. , Linlin patted him sideways, watching him slowly fall asleep.
"Sleeping. It's hard work, the emperor. It must be hard and tiring to bring this devil in the world."
The emperor stood up and went to the door, and let the wet nurses who were waiting outside come in and carry the two boys out.
After there was no one in the room, Linlin helped him untie his belt and hung it on the screen at one side, and the emperor felt a little bit emotional, "Don't talk about the pommel horse on this journey, there is such a saying that it is not good for a basket to rest if you want to rest. Qilin didn’t get annoyed. Along the way, Qilin also did some stupid things. At that time, he was so angry that he couldn’t laugh or cry, or he wanted to kill him. After thinking about it, he couldn’t bring up the desire to kill him. Instead, he felt that the child was smart and smart. Thinking about it, parents love their sons in the same way.”
"What did he do?"
"In the first few days when he set up camp, he ran to Huotouying and saw people washing rice and clamoring for help. How dare those people ask him to help? They advised him to just sit there and watch, but he didn't take a look. The kid poured the salt into the basin, saying that he wanted to wash it out, and it turned out to be a basin of salt water."
Linlin laughed loudly when she heard this, "Is this the only thing? There must be other things. The emperor made me happy when he said it."
"He has more than one thing to do, but I don't want to say it at this moment. My father and son took advantage of the beautiful scenery and boundless night to rush back. In addition to my son missing my mother, I also miss my beloved wife. It's gone. Wife, wife, child, let's rest."
The emperor came back, and the whole harem boiled up. These ladies changed their usual lazy and listless appearance, and all of them tidied themselves up in a glamorous manner, waiting to see the king.
The emperor stayed with the empress, mother and son in the Ganlu Hall for more than ten years before he began to visit the harem.
After waiting for another half month, Huang Gui just waited for the opportunity.The eunuch spread the word that the emperor is staying in her courtyard today.
She took out the original pills and asked the eunuchs in the palace to kill chickens.
But the few big roosters she raised were the master chickens. It took four or five people all afternoon to catch two roosters. The chicken was full of blood.
Liao Guiren next door to Huang Guiren heard the commotion over there, and quickly asked people to hide the flowers and plants in the house. Sure enough, after waiting for a while, a big rooster flew in from the yard, clucking and rushing into the wing room to hide. caught.
Guiren Liao led someone to stand under the corridor, and patted his chest, "I knew I couldn't be neighbors with that bitch next door. I have to find a chance to beg the empress to let me change the yard."
As soon as I finished speaking, the person next door screamed, "Plop!" Another chicken flew up the wall. The most penetrating thing was that the chicken's neck was still bleeding, and the blood was pouring, and the chicken was dangling on the wall. After falling down twice, he flung and struggled in front of a group of people, chicken blood splattered everywhere, seeing this big rooster rushing towards him, Liao Guiren screamed in fright, rolled his eyes and fainted past.
The court ladies and eunuchs beside Liao Guiren were in a hurry, and several powerful nuns quickly moved Liao Guiren to the bed inside, and sent two teams of eunuchs, one to invite the imperial physician, and the other to lodge a complaint in the Ganlu Palace.
Linlin heard the reply from the people around Liao Guiren, and asked people to call Huang Guiren.
"Why are you so troublesome? Why are you killing chickens in broad daylight? Why don't you send them to the imperial dining room? They are not as familiar with killing chickens as you are? Look at what you are doing. How many people come here to sue you at this moment? Your chicken... why did you jump into Liao Guiren's yard in a bloody mess, and you have fainted from your fright, do you know?"
"Your Majesty, calm down first. After a while, the concubine will go to Liao Guiren's yard to apologize. Today, the eunuch in the study in front of me has said that the emperor is going to come to the concubine's yard. Does the concubine want to kill the chickens he raises and cook them for the emperor?" Soup...you will spare the concubine this time, there will be no next time."
Just as he was talking, Liao Guiren came, and he knelt there with his skirt lifted
