The biography of Concubine Lin in the harem

The spring breeze in the same direction is worrying about each other (1)

In the study room of King Liang's Mansion, on the red sandalwood desk is a partridge teacup, with tall and sturdy tea leaves floating up and down, the soup is bright green and bright, with a fresh and refreshing aroma, as if the mellow scent of pandan is rippling away.

Yi Chen took a sip of the Taiping Houkui, and couldn't help but smile, "It's hard for you to remember the taste of this king, and someone sent it all the way from Anhui."

"Houkui has two pointed ends, neither loose nor curled up." Zhu Qizhen smiled and said, "It's good that the prince likes it, but I don't know why the prince summoned the next official today?"

"This king has taken the post of Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and I am really bored." Yizhen casually threw a roster, "The roster contains the people who will be interrogated in the past few days. The number of people is so large that it actually occupies the ranks of officials of the court. half of."

"Bolinghou's party members are all over the government and the public. This number can't be said to be too many, but can only be said to be few." Zhu Qizhen flipped through the roster, looked at Yizhen with meaningful eyes and said, "Besides, the prince also understands that the more people there are, the more people there are. , the more beneficial it is to the prince.”

"I understand what you said." Yizhen snorted lightly, and knocked lazily on the desk, "This roster was drafted by a few officials who are not afraid of death. It’s nothing to be afraid of the people who throw the hozen away, but it’s not easy to get a few prominent people to sign and draw on it.”

"In the past, Zhou Jun, Lai Junchen and others were very fond of torture, and everyone talked about it, but it is worth a try for some old stubborn people." Zhu Qizhen played with the partridge teacup in his hand, the star The little partridge spots are like pearls and round jade crystals, pushing into my eyes little by little, illuminating the infinite future.

Zhu Qizhen smiled faintly, and glanced at the picture of Luoshen on the wall: "What the emperor wants now is the roster, and he may not be very concerned about the authenticity of the roster, not to mention that the Marquis of Boling has been proud of himself for a long time, and the emperor now only believes in the prince."

Yizhen was silent for a moment, and looked at Zhu Qizhen admiringly: "Then, you can give it a try, No matter how old he is, 72 instruments of torture are laid out like flowing water. I want to see, who else can afford it." Yi Zhen took a sip of Taiping Houkui, and the fresh and clear "monkey rhyme" relaxed the brows that had been tightened just now.

Yizhen changed the subject and said, "Speaking of which, Qiu Mao, the commander of the Shenji Camp, mentioned to this king that her eldest daughter, Qiu Yicheng, is now eighteen, because Qiu Mao cherishes this daughter very much and wants this king to give it to her. Let's talk about family matters." Seeing Zhu Qizhen in a daze, Yizhen smiled unconsciously, "I think you're good, so I want to be a moon old man once more."

Zhu Qizhen was stunned, but he understood in an instant that Qiu Mao was King Liang's confidant, and he was promoted all the way up by King Liang. Who will win?Looking at King Liang's intentions now, it seems that he intends to cultivate himself, not to mention that if he can get into this marriage, wouldn't he be more trusted by King Liang?

Seeing that he was a little silent, Yizhen said leisurely: "Qiu Mao already had the idea of ​​giving up the position of commander of the Shenji Camp last year. If you become his son-in-law, I can guarantee you this position."

Hearing the words, Zhu Qizhen hurriedly collected his clothes and knelt down, and said in surprise and joy: "Thank you for your kindness, my lord, I'm not an official... just never thought about my own marriage, so..."

Yizhen couldn't help but smiled sharply: "Why are you panicking? I'm going to marry you into a good marriage, and I have this king as a matchmaker. It's not cheap for you, brat." He exhorted, "Turn back and treat him well. This king strongly recommends you. If you embarrass this king, this king will throw you to the southwest."

Zhu Qizhen forced a smile and said: "Thank you, my lord, it's just that I'm an official..."

"Speak up if you have something to say, this king is very busy!"

Zhu Qizhen hesitated a few times, and finally made up his mind: "The commander of the Xiaoqi Battalion, I feel that Sun Chuanzong can..."

Yizhen hummed impatiently, and after thinking about it, he couldn't help laughing: "I heard that there were four masters in the Xiaoqi camp in the past, they were you, Xiao Zhuyun, Sun Chuanzong, and Li Jingren. Your martial arts are on par with Xiao Zhuyun. You are said to be a match for chess, but now it seems that you are much more verbose than him, and you have the cheek to raise conditions for this king every time." Yizhen shook his head, picked up the Taiping Monkey King and moistened his throat, "Forget it, Sun Chuanzong is also malleable. Let him take over as commander of the Xiaoqi Battalion."

In Hanzhang Palace and Deyang Palace, Chen Xiaoyuan, who was already eight months old, paid her respects to Zhu Chengbi with great difficulty. Zhu Yu hurriedly helped her up, but Zhu Chengbi seemed to blame him: "Didn't I say the gift of exempting my sister?"

Chen Xiaoyuan was supported by the maid of honor, Zhi Lan, the female officer in charge of the Moon Shadow Stage, into her seat, and then she smiled and said: "Today is different from the past, the concubine has something to ask the empress."

Zhu Chengbi smiled and said: "Now that Concubine Yangui has given birth to the prince, you are the most precious in the palace, but the good things are sent to the Moon Shadow Terrace like flowing water, even the Hanzhang Palace in this palace is beyond the reach. Sister, you have Whatever request, I will naturally try my best to make decisions for you."

Chen Xiaoyuan was slightly ashamed, and said humbly: "The concubine's status is humble, how dare she bear the honor of being the first one?" After she finished speaking, she stroked her rounder belly lovingly, and said softly, "Concubine The concubine knows that she can't compare with the other empresses, and also knows that this child is the only one she can rely on, so naturally she has to make plans for him."

Zhu Chengbi was quite puzzled: "What does my sister mean?"

Chen Xiaoyuan said earnestly: "Even if the concubine has a normal delivery and gives birth to Lin'er, even if she is favored by the emperor and promoted to the position of concubine, how can a mere fifth-rank concubine take good care of this child? Therefore, concubine came here today, Just beg your mother to take pity on her and take care of this child after the concubine gives birth!" Chen Xiaoyuan finished her sentence, her face was extremely moved, and she got up again and kowtowed deeply, looking very strenuous.

Zhu Chengbi hurriedly said: "Why is my good sister kneeling again? It's still cold, sister, get up quickly, if something goes wrong, how can it happen?" Seeing Chen Xiaoyuan returning to her seat, Zhu Chengbi thought slowly, "Sister's My thoughts, I understand. It’s just why my sister should be so self-deprecating? In the past, the concubine of the Taizu was the daughter of a butcher, shouldn’t she also be a concubine?”

Chen Xiaoyuan smiled wryly and said: "Concubines don't have such a blessing, and Concubine Shu is very favored, how can I leave a place for concubines?"

Zhu Chengbi saw that she had made up her mind, and sighed slightly: "It's just that I already have Ling'er and Zhenning in my palace, so I can't take care of myself, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of them well."

Seeing Chen Xiaoyuan's somewhat disappointed expression, Zhu Chengbi said again: "However, when it comes to raising children, there are naturally people who are more qualified than me."

Zhu Chengbi's eyes lightly raised to Yunzhao Hall, Chen Xiaoyuan already understood, and hurriedly said: "The concubine and concubine have always looked like a loving mother and are amiable, but the fifth highness back then..."

Zhu Chengbi got up lightly, shook Chen Xiaoyuan's soft hands, and said in a deep voice: "In this case, I might as well tell you that the former Fifth Highness was killed by Lin Ruoxuan, and my sister must have heard some gossip about her these days." Seeing Chen Xiaoyuan lowering her eyes silently, Zhu Chengbi said again, "After the concubine lost her son, she has never been pregnant again. If I can raise the child in your arms, I will take care of it wholeheartedly. Naturally, as the head of the three concubines, I will I will also take care of you, sister, you can rest assured."

Chen Xiaoyuan was touched, and hurriedly said, "Thank you, Ma'am!"

Zhu Chengbi smiled softly: "My younger sister is a sensible person. In the future, my younger sister's blessing will definitely be much better than that of the concubine Yan Gui. My younger sister should return to the palace to raise a baby. As for the concubine, I will speak for my younger sister."

After leaving Hanzhang Palace, Zhilan carefully tightened Chen Xiaoyuan's lake-blue cloak with pinched gold embroidered magpies and plum branches, and said softly: "You can rest assured that you can have the blessings of Concubine Lin and Concubine He. "

Chen Xiaoyuan was slightly distracted, turned her head to look at the three gilt characters of "Hanzhang Palace", sighed and said: "On the eve of the New Year's Eve, Concubine Lin specially came to ask me to have a good pregnancy and not to go to Chonghua Palace. Naturally, Concubine Lin Empress is concerned about me, but... I am afraid she also knows what will happen to Chonghua Palace."

Zhilan was startled: "What does my lord mean?"

Chen Xiaoyuan stopped in front of a plum tree, climbed over the clusters of fragrant red plums, and sniffed lightly. Seeing no one around, she said in a low voice: "When I was in the Weaving Bureau, I met a man named Fu Wanting's maid in the Shangyi Bureau is now a music secretary. She is in charge of the banquet music in the Shangyi Bureau. She was in charge of the dance repertoire for the night banquet in the Chonghua Palace that day. She saw Bo Linghou not because of the failed assassination. Instead, he committed suicide by taking poison, but he was poisoned and fell to the ground before the assassin stabbed him."

Despite the cold winter, Zhilan still had a layer of cold sweat on her forehead: "My lord, you mean that the death of Marquis Boling was ordered by the emperor, and Concubine Lin participated?"

Chen Xiaoyuan nodded slightly, and then said: "That's why this matter is so scary, because Ling Wei, who was beside the queen, had been to the moon shadow stage three hours before the banquet. It’s good to attend the banquet.”

This remark was like a thunderclap, and Zhilan suddenly felt her scalp tingling, and her voice trembled slightly: "The empress has always been trusted by the emperor, how could she not know the emperor's intentions? If the young master really goes to the night banquet, then there will only be one ending... "

Zhilan was so frightened that she didn't continue, Chen Xiaoyuan secretly became ruthless, clenched her hands together and said: "I have been in the palace for many years, and I have a vague feeling that the queen is not a virtuous person. Previously, Concubine Yangui had a difficult delivery, so could it be that Concubine Migui came up with it on her own?" The way? Mi Guifei is domineering and arrogant, not inferior to Mrs. Yu'er, and she doesn't bother to pay much attention to such low-handed methods. If the queen is making side attacks..."

Chen Xiaoyuan snorted coldly: "As soon as Marquis Boling died, the queen immediately let Concubine Lin take full control of the affairs of the Six Palaces on the grounds that she was not feeling well. She tried her best to clear up the relationship with Mrs. Yu'e. After all, they were allies in the past. Come on, the fifth son of the emperor, the seventh son of the emperor, and Mi Guibi's child who disappeared for no apparent reason, are probably all her masterpieces."

Only now did Zhilan understand why Chen Xiaoyuan had worked so hard to let Concubine Lin take care of her child, she couldn't help but be very impressed, and said with emotion: "The young master is really delicate."

Chen Xiaoyuan sighed leisurely: "For the sake of the child, I can only do this now. I only hope that he grows up safely. Whether it is a prince or an emperor, I would rather discount ten years of my life to keep him safe."
