There’s a Dragon Girl in the Desolate Sea

The first chapter of the sixtieth piece: (four)

Linglong's birthday is coming soon. She was born in late spring in April. It was the season when the severe cold was fading, and the cold was slightly cold, but everything grew.

This was her sixteenth birthday and her first birthday after being a queen. Emperor Chengwu took it very seriously. He personally took charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the grand **** Mao Gonggong, to handle it with introspection, and it must be done to the satisfaction of the empress.

There is no way for her own birthday banquet to do it herself, Linglong very chicly made a handy shopkeeper. The officials also felt that she was different from the people she had seen before. If you are far away, you can say that you are close. When Concubine Lu is in charge of introspection, she firmly holds the power in her palms, and she does not pretend to others. , For fear of being decentralized. But Linglong got the phoenix seal, and she squeezed all of Lu Guifei's eyeliner, and when she was introspective enough to work on her own, she didn't care about it.

By the way, she did this, and her introspection did not cause any troubles. On the contrary, she was more orderly and disciplined than Concubine Lu.

The official once asked curiously, and Linglong replied, she is here to be the master, not a slave. The master naturally wants to enjoy it easily. If she takes care of herself every day, then why should she enter the palace? Isn't it good to be her daughter at home?

Every day I read a lot of memorials, and the officials who got up earlier than the chickens and went to bed later than the dogs were not happy, were silent.

On the Queen’s birthday, the official family feasted for hundreds of officials, and the female family members were entertained by the queen’s maidens in the inner hall, which naturally included the Guan family and the second girl Pei Baozhu from Xiangfu.

Pei Baozhu came by gloating over misfortune. She had long wanted to see how this elder sister, who was full of bad waters, had lived after marrying an old emperor who was twenty years older than her, and who had already had grandchildren and became grandfathers. Surely it must be washed away with tears every day, right? Surely it must be tossed and awake every night? That stunning face, maybe it's already haggard and old and can't look at it!

Thinking of the eldest sister's oppression of herself and her mother at home in the past, Pei Baozhu's heart was refreshed. What's the use of any means? The Xiangfu still has the final say. She doesn't want to be the queen of the palace, so the eldest sister has to be her substitute? What if she is the granddaughter of Mr. Yixiao? You can have a good life if you have your father's heart!

If it were not for fear of injuring herself, Pei Baozhu really wanted to tell the official family the truth that he was not a phoenix girl at all, but an imposter pheasant!

With this excitement, Pei Baozhu smiled from beginning to end, and even took the initiative to greet Linglong. People who don't know think that they are sisters, and only she knows it. She can't wait to see a joke!

She is the queen’s sister, and everyone else wants to give her face. Pei Baozhu saw those noble girls who usually have higher eyes lowered their eyebrows in front of her, and her heart was very helpful. She never understood what they were noble, and she felt that People are born equal, but after living in Xiangfu for many years, Pei Baozhu has to admit that she has completely fallen into this hateful class enjoyment. A good background means that she can be above others. By now, she has forgotten. What an ordinary person I used to be.

As the female relatives bowed and saluted together, the eunuch's unique sharp voice sounded: "Everyone is flat -"

Pei Baozhu raised her head and quickly glanced at the master of the main hall, but she was too far away, so she couldn't make it clear. Relying on being the queen's sister, no matter what the relationship is, the family is in the family. On the surface, it is impossible for the queen to embarrass herself, so she proactively stepped forward: "Sister, long time no see, are you okay?"

After stepping forward, I saw how graceful the eldest sister who made me hate in the past is so charming.

In the past, she was so beautiful that she was angry when she did not face the sky in the palace. Now she is wearing a royal dress on her birthday, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows are gorgeous and arrogant. This imposing palace costume can't suppress her expression in the slightest. The Fanghua, on the contrary, makes people afraid to look directly at it! Especially Linglong's complexion was ruddy, and she had a very good time in the palace. Pei Baozhu scolded fiercely in his heart, and didn't know what he was proud of! But just rely on a face to serve people! Who doesn't know how beautiful the official family is, and when the official family gets tired of her, let's see how arrogant she is!

No matter how beautiful it is, there will eventually be a day when you will be bored, isn't it?

Linglong glanced at Pei Baozhu slowly, without even a slight smile on her face, she didn't give the slightest face--what's the matter with Pei Xiang's face?

Seeing that Linglong actually ignored her, as if she hadn’t seen her, even refused to let herself get up, Pei Baozhu’s face flushed, and the crowd was given such embarrassment, others would naturally know that the queen would not wait to see her, and the fate was small. What a shame!

She gritted her teeth and couldn't get angry, she didn't believe it, this eldest sister didn't care about feathers, she could treat herself so harshly! This matter spread out, let's see how the supervisor impeached her! See how the official family treats her!

As a result, Linglong really ignored her. After the female relatives took their seats, Linglong seemed to think of something, and said: "I heard that the case of Weizhou's destruction of the gate, which shocked the ruling and the opposition, was solved a few days ago. Among them, Dingyuan Houfu's daughter was credited with it. I wonder if this girl is here?"

A girl in a green dress immediately got up and saluted: "The minister is here, but the minister dare not greedy merits. There is someone else who is the hero of this case."

"Oh?" Linglong looked very interested. "Who is it? But in the temple today?"

The girl in green brazenly raised her head: "Going back to the empress, the case was solved. The greatest contribution is to a female widow in Sanping County under Weizhou's rule."

"Women's work?" Linglong said, "If I remember well, there is no precedent for a woman's work in my country."

"Exactly." The girl in green kowtows three heads to Linglong respectfully and respectfully, "This female widow is the last name Ding. Wazuo is a lowly nationality, and no one can speak up and cannot leave. Therefore, the courtier courageously wants to work with the empress for Ding Wei. Please beg of grace to allow her to leave her base and return to the body of a good citizen."

According to the laws of this dynasty, all the works are from a lowly background, and their status is not much higher than that of beggars. Also, because of dealing with dead bodies all the year round, almost everyone refuses to evade everyone, and his descendants are also forbidden to participate in scientific research. lowly.

Linglong tilted her head: "Why do you ask for this grace for her?"

"In response to Niangniang, Ding Hao is a person of integrity and kindness. Since she took office in Sanping County, I don't know how many innocent dead have been faired back, and how many unjust, false and wrongful cases have been uncovered. She is really a female hero and her ministers admire them in immense admiration!"

The girl speaks simply and heartily, and it is easy to make people feel good, so Linglong laughed: "If this is the case, it doesn't matter if you allow you, are you willing to be the guarantor?"

When the green-clothed girl heard that there was a way, her eyes widened and she said in surprise: "The courtier is willing! The courtier is willing!"

So Linglong immediately issued a decree, and the girl in the green clothes issued a decree, and promised that Ding Hao to leave the base and return to the body of a good citizen.

After that, the girl in the green dress stood by Linglong's side for the entire birthday banquet, telling her many stories. Dingyuanhou’s mansion is a family of military commanders, and even the daughter who gave birth has also used knives and guns since childhood. Dingyuanhou is a stubborn temperament and never constrained her daughter, so this girl in green ran around. That’s why I met Ding Yazuo. The two hit it off, the Weizhou Miemen case, and the two cooperated to solve the strange case with the Weizhou government office, because the two strange women who solved the case, plus the destruction of the door at that time The case was very violent, and news spread quickly. Now even in the capital, there are teahouse storytellers who specifically talked about the two of them.

The girl from the Hou Mansion named Lvqiao is not pretentious. Today, she wore complicated Luo skirts when she entered the palace. She walked cautiously. There was no flattering like that of other people to Linglong, but she felt that the empress was very flattering. I like it, I don’t have any airs, and I don’t need to be cautious in words and deeds as my mother told me. Look, she told her about the autopsy, she didn’t change her face!

It's not like the female officials on the side, who were already pale...Lü Qiao felt that if she went on, they would have to throw up at this birthday banquet.

She felt proud and thought that the same was true when she saw sister Ding's post-mortem for the first time. She vomited so dimly for several days that she didn't recover, and it took a full month to barely adapt!

Lu Qiao’s topic came to an end. There was already singing and dancing in the hall. Linglong was not interested in these things. Out of the corner of her eyes, she saw Pei Baozhu beside her, and wondered: "Why are you still here? I just forgot you, OK. Now, go back to your seat and sit down."

This kind of lofty charity is simply not to be too humiliating!

But Baozhu Pei was really tired from kneeling. She was a queen empress. She said that she had forgotten or didn't notice. What can she do? Is it possible that you still want other people to give yourself up?

Seeing that a girl from the Hou Mansion in Luqiao could sit so close to the Queen, as the queen's sister, she could only sit far away, and even her mother could not enter the palace... Think of Pei Baozhu and feel angry! That Lvqiao was really a nest with the eldest sister, and the two of them were talking about the autopsy work. Pei Baozhu felt sick after thinking about it, and she didn't know how the officials would like women like the eldest sister.

At the end of the birthday banquet, Lvqiao left reluctantly, and asked before leaving, "Manny, can I come to the palace to talk to you in the future?"

Linglong smiled and said, "Naturally."

In the evening at Jinfeng Palace, the official put her arms around her fragrant body, kissed and kissed her pink cheeks, and asked if she was still happy today, Linglong replied: "Very happy, I met a cute little girl. girl."

She is still a little girl herself, but when she talks about others in such an old-fashioned tone, the official almost laughed, "Oh? How cute is it?"

"Guanjia." Linglong thought for a while, turned over, changed from lying in the arms of the official, to lying in his arms, with two small hands resting on his chest, and her face resting on the small hands, looking extraordinarily Immature and cute. "If you tell me about the outside affairs, I'm always bored alone. Just talk about... the Weizhou killing case, you haven't finished it last time."

She was in the harem all day, and the only source of news about the previous dynasty was Emperor Cheng Wu. Regardless of the official appearance, they are actually very good at telling stories. In the case of Weizhou's destruction of the door, he saw Linglong boring and told her with his arms around her at night. Naturally, he also talked about those two. Nowadays, the strange woman who is talked about by storytellers, the girl from Hou Mansion, Lvqiao, and the girl from Sanping County, Ding Lan.

It's just that among the officials, these two people are unnamed.

The official squeezed her pink and tender face gently: "How come you like to listen to such a **** story?"

Linglong made a contemplative gesture: "Well...not so much like listening to this **** story, I prefer to listen to Ding Yazuo and Lu Qiao."

What she saw in her eyes was the yearning for the two. Obviously she is a noble queen, but she is yearning for a crazy Houfu girl to work with a lowly native. Emperor Cheng Wu couldn't tell what he felt. At this moment, he suddenly realized that the palace seemed to her to be a huge golden cage. She was living in it, perhaps not as happy as it seemed on the surface.

His heart turned a thousand times, but his face remained calm, and he squeezed his exquisite little hand to play: "Why do you want to listen to them? Are you bored? I will let Liyuan Jiaofang arrange some new plays for you tomorrow. Look good?"

Linglong turned her head away uninterestedly: "No."

Like a child.

Emperor Cheng Wu asked her softly, "Then what do you want? Tell me, I will find them for you, okay?"

The official didn't realize that he had become the kind of emperor who most disdain to be.

Linglong shook her head, lying listlessly on his chest: "Forget it."

She is actually very happy eating, sleeping and sleeping in the harem, but not so happy. You have to ask her why, she can't tell herself, she always feels that no matter how much she eats, she can't get enough to eat. It doesn't seem to be what she wants, but what does she want? She didn't know it herself. The women in the palace are stupid, they are not her opponents at all, and they are also the same in Xiangfu. Those who have deep thoughts are terribly stupid in her opinion. She thinks it’s good to be a queen in the palace, no People can control her, she is powerful and powerful, and can do whatever she wants.

But when the power is in hand, she doesn't know what she wants to do.

The things that have been obtained are no longer precious.

She unconsciously used the official pectoral muscles to grind his teeth, biting him all over.

Linglong got up late again on the second day, and she was used to waiting for her to get up and then invite Ann's concubines to sit orderly. Zhao Yu and Concubine Xian hadn't been released yet, and no one dared to provoke Linglong. Everyone started to talk about the rules, but the empress did not say much about the rules... But which palace rule stipulates that if the concubines are here, the queen must get up early? It's the rule for them to come to ask for peace, but the queen gets up early or late, the palace rules didn't say it!

The women who had been dry for almost half a year saw the little queen look like she was sleeping late in the rain, her jealous eyes turned green!

Linglong yawned, and listened to her concubines. On Linglong's birthday yesterday, she was naturally known to everyone about her addiction to the daughter of the Hou Mansion, but in the eyes of the concubines, the queen was purely bad eyes.

What's so good about a woman who is said to be crazy? Running outside all day is rougher than a man, uneasy in the house, he is nineteen and hasn't allowed anyone, who would dare to marry!

They can't step on the queen, can't they step on the green pie!

Concubine Lu was the first to cover her face with embroidered handkerchiefs, and her smile was particularly hypocritical, and she naturally shifted the topic to Lu Qiao, "...This is to be said by the palace, and women should not go out of the gate and do not move forward. This is amazing. Running out, my heart is nourished! For such a woman, I think she should be locked up at home, and asked the nurse to teach her a good life, otherwise who would dare to marry? If you marry back, you can’t help each other. Isn’t it a marriage? Going back with a friend? I'm getting close to this kind of woman, and I'm all dirty!"

Linglong Liangliang said, "You can't get out of the door, but you don't see your husband or son."

Concubine Lu was instantly hit at the pain point. She had been in the palace for twenty years, but she had no son or a half under her knees. But who would dare to say that to her? !

She didn't dare to refute the person who said her.

"...Boring." Linglong stood up, no longer wanting to pay attention to the group of women who knew that they would rob men with each other every day. She wanted to go to the Royal Garden, but suddenly stopped, and then slowly looked towards her. I have a concubine surnamed Mei. This is the end of the nine concubines. She was born as graceful and graceful as a mist and rain in the south of the Yangtze River. This year should be twenty or seven. Although she is no longer a green girl, she gave birth to two sons and one for the official family. Female, it's just that she doesn't show up in the concubine fighting for beauty.

However, under the repression of Concubine Lu, the Mei 嫔, who had no such person, An An An steadily gave birth to two sons and a daughter for the official family, and they both raised them.

Even at the age of twenty-seven, she was still as shy and meek as a young girl, with no signs of old age.

Suddenly there was a pair of embroidered shoes stopped in front of him. The skirt was gorgeous, and she looked like a queen empress. Mei Yan bowed her head tightly, not even daring to raise her eyes.

Linglong looked condescendingly at Mei Bin for a long time. From her hair to her heels, after a while, she suddenly said: "The weather is already warm, why does Mei Bin wear so much? But she is afraid of cold body. It’s cold? If it’s so, it’s the time to take good care of it. Hold Yin, Li Shanggong of Xuan Shang Medical Bureau, give Empress Mei a good pulse."

When Mei Yan heard this, she was so frightened that she immediately knelt down: "Queen Empress! Empress Empress forgive me..."

At the moment Linglong has no more thoughts of going to the Imperial Garden. She has not paid attention to these concubines. In the past, please send them at will. If it were not for today's whim, they would go to the Imperial Garden. They would not pay attention to them. There was something wrong with Mei Bin.

How about saying that paste is the best protective color?

Naturally, this paste is what others think.

"What's wrong with you? Look at you, you have a cold sweat. Why, I'm so scary?"

Mei Bi only felt cold and sweaty, as if her clothes were all wet. She was prostrate on the ground and lowered her head. She did not dare to raise her. She had to wait for the queen to let her down. She has always been cautious. Today, she is just thinking about gambling, depending on whether the official will come.

Li Shanggong arrived soon, and she saluted Linglong first, and then she took the pulse for Mei Yan under Linglong's sign, and her expressionless face showed a look of astonishment. After taking the pulse, she hesitated to report to Linglong: "Niang, Niang Mei is pregnant with a dragon seed. If the slave and maid had a good diagnosis, it should have been half a year."

For half a year, I probably got pregnant before Linglong entered the palace.

She didn't show much affection in this child, and she was usually weak and wore larger clothes, but no one noticed it!

Concubine Lu's eyes are green! She has been begging for so many years that she couldn't get pregnant. How could this Mei 嫔 die so well!

If it weren't for Linglong, she might have to pounce on Mei Bin to tear off a piece of meat!

The concubines were in an uproar.

After the queen entered the palace, she loved it for a long time, and no one dared to fight with her, but Mei Yu made a fortune and got a lot of votes, and she was pregnant with a dragon seed...This...

Linglong didn't speak, and others didn't dare to say it. At this time, the **** chanted: "Holy--drive--to--"

The officials came in from the entrance of the hall, and the concubines' eyes lit up. He seemed calm, but Linglong saw the anxiety and worry that flashed in his eyes. Obviously, this anxiety and worry was definitely not for her, nor was it for Concubine Lu.

Rather, the Mei 嫔 who is still kneeling.

Linglong remained silent, "Where did the officials come?"

Emperor Cheng Wu said, "I have finished reading the book today. I think about you, so I'll come and have a look."

Exquisite but silent.

Emperor Cheng Wu said unintentionally: "What did Mei Yan commit to kneel on the ground?"

Everyone thought he had asked inadvertently, after all, in the past Meibi was too inexistent, and officials never mentioned her, so no one asked. But as long as they think about it, they will understand that although Mei Lai is no one cares about, no one dares to deduct her food and clothing costs. Using her as a thorn in the eye, even twenty-seven to seventeen can still maintain such a coquettish posture-even Concubine Lu is irritable because of her childlessness, not to mention other concubines who fight for grace.

Linglong played with her golden silk armour with a smile: "How can it be said that it is a crime? It is a good thing. Congratulations to the official, Mei Lai is pregnant, and indeed she can't kneel long. Let's get up. "

Mei 嫔 was lifted up by her court lady in fear, she stood honestly with her head down, dare not say a word, very pitiful.

Emperor Cheng Wu glanced at her, looked back quickly, and walked to Linglong's side to sit with her: "Isn't Zitong wanting to hear what Ding Hao did? The prison secretary has a case that no one can solve, so I wanted to call her. When you come to Beijing, you must also ask Zitong to meet her in person."

When Linglong heard it, hey, the official family has lost money!

She was sure that Emperor Cheng Wu had never thought of summoning Ding Lan to the capital. These words were only temporarily used to divert her attention, but she had to say that it was very useful, at least she was moved by it.

Harm, what are the officials afraid of? Mei 嫔 has given birth to two sons and a daughter. Is it possible to regenerate this one? What else can she do to Mei Bin?

Or maybe... Someone hopes that she can show jealousy, which will harm Mei-嫔?

Don't think about it, it doesn't exist.

Only if there is love, there is jealousy. She has no love for officials, and naturally she will not be jealous of his women. What's more, Mei Yan was not pregnant after she entered the palace. The official family is still using her alone, and she can barely accept it.

"Okay." Linglong replied with a smile, "It is really touching that the officials are so devoted. However, according to the rules of the palace, the concubine is pregnant and should be reported immediately, so as not to interfere with the emperor's heir, Mei Yu will not report it. , So she was fined for three months. How did the officials feel?"

This...foot restraint is actually a protection in disguise. Not appearing in front of people is definitely a good thing for Mei Yu, but... the official glanced at Linglong, and saw her small face with an innocent and innocent smile, without any sadness. , My heart suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
