The biography of Concubine Lin in the harem

Responding to pity in the middle of the night You Mengsheng (1)

In the Sun Mansion, Sun Chuanzong was lazily lying on the bed reading a book. When he saw Zhu Qizhen coming in, he curled his lips and said, "Master Zhu is here. I'm sorry to welcome you if I'm far away from you. Forgive me."

Seeing this, Zhu Qizhen burst out laughing, and his face calmed down a little: "You pretended to be sick and made a lot of noise. I heard that you were so sick in the mansion that you were groggy and full of nonsense, so I frightened me to come here in person."

Sun Chuanzong put on his clothes and sat up, took a few sips of tea from the bedside cup of tea, and said helplessly: "Li Jingren has always been very considerate, but he was too appropriate. Heard that I was ill, and he came to visit me again and again. If you want to invite a doctor, if I don't pretend to be a little bit, I will be exposed sooner or later."

Zhu Qizhen nodded lightly: "The Xia family has been abolished, and the queen mother has passed away. The current situation is unstable, and it is best to avoid the limelight."

Zhu Qizhen glanced at the dark brown soup on the bedside, but saw that a lot of it was spilled outside. It seemed that it was splashed with trembling hands. Already." After speaking, he took the "Tai Gong Art of War" and flipped through a few pages leisurely, "Then, today is the Tai Paradise Palace where Li Jingren escorted the emperor and Concubine Shu Gui?"

Sun Chuanzong nodded and wanted to get out of bed, but was held down by Zhu Qizhen: "Since you can bluff me, you'd better keep pretending for a few days. As the saying goes, 'Illness comes like a mountain, and it goes like a silk thread' 'Really?" Zhu Qizhen raised the corners of his lips slightly, "Besides, since I'm here, why don't you try my handicraft today?"

After finishing speaking, regardless of Sun Chuanzong's slight surprise, Zhu Qizhen patted him on the right shoulder with a smile, and tucked the quilt for him, seemingly hesitating, and finally smiled awkwardly: "I have already told Qiu Yicheng not to deliver lunch every day Go to Shenji camp, if you have time, you can come to Shenji camp often, just like before."

Tonghua Terrace, three feet nine feet high, is paved with white jade stones. Qionglou Yuyu, pillars of light and glory, shine in Ruicai.The edge of the platform is planted with sycamores and phoenix trees. If it is the turn of spring and summer, it will be full of shade, and the pavilions will be like a cover. It will almost submerge the tung flower platform. The tangdi flowers bloom, either as elegant and clean as snow, or as light purple as fog, The flowers are profuse and colorful, with a subtle fragrance.

In the past, Yidan often lived here alone with Concubine Shu, and would order the maid who was good at singing to sing "The Blossoms of Tangdi" under the plane tree, and walk hand in hand with Concubine Shu to enjoy the flowers blooming and falling together. He was dissatisfied, the concubines criticized him, courtiers blamed him, but his intention to treat Concubine Shu has not changed. This is different from Tang Fuxian, Lin Ruoxuan or Zhu Chengbi in the past. It is not just simple, temporary favor, but from the heart true love.

"The phoenix tree attracts the phoenix." Concubine Shu Gui sighed lowly, and turned her eyes to look at Yidan, "It's true that I haven't been here for a long time, and the phoenix tree seems a little strange."

Yidan held Concubine Shu's hand tightly, and said with a very warm smile: "In the future, how about we come here often?"

Concubine Shu smiled sweetly, her bright and clean face seemed to be covered with a layer of soft creme veil in the warm sun, which was extremely smooth and soft: "Tonghua Terrace has been renovated, and Yiguang also feels that it seems to have returned to the old place. Time, but in Yiguang's heart, Tonghua Terrace, whether new or old, is the most beautiful."

Yi Dan felt grateful, gently stroked Concubine Shu's soft temples, turned his head and quietly looked at the Tonghua Terrace in front of him, the white marble had been polished, the carved railings had also been wiped and repainted, painted with gold lacquer and painted with heavy colors It is hollowed out, very plump and rich. In addition, several white marble corridors were newly built. The most wonderful thing is that the corridors were carefully chiseled with slices of tung flowers. Who came up with it?"

Gao Qianying held on to the whisk and said: "Reporting to the emperor, the repair of the Tonghua Terrace is in charge of Chen Zhengze, a doctor from the Ministry of Industry."

Yi Dan hummed and said: "Is it just a doctor? It seems that there is still a lack of a servant of the Ministry of Industry?"

Gao Qianying was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "I don't know very well, but this Chen Zhengze is indeed a talent in exploration and construction. Although he is young and weak, he has done his best in hosting the Tonghua Terrace. The servant sent Xiao Dengzi several times to check the progress. Chen Zhengze is too busy to touch the ground! Speaking of which, I heard from King Liang last time that Chen Zhengze seems to be the distant nephew of Mrs. Enbi..."

Yi Dan was startled when he heard the words: "Is it a distant nephew?" Yu Bi pondered slightly, frowned and said, "After returning to the palace, you go to the Moon Shadow Terrace yourself, and bring back the pair of mahogany and silver-threaded hundred-year-old purple jade that you paid tribute to Burma last time. If you wish, give it to Concubine En, and in addition, give it to Chen Zhengze."

Gao Qianying breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and said, "I'll save it for you."

Hanzhang Palace, Deyang Palace, talking and laughing at Yan Yan, pearls and emeralds flowing fragrant, Zhu Chengbi hugged Xuanfen and said with a smile: "It's a bit heavier."

Concubine He and Concubine En were on each side, teasing Xuan Fen with a seal made of jade, Concubine Yi smiled and said: "Fen'er caught Zhou and got the seal, and he must have a prosperous official career in the future, unlike Xun'er, who grabbed Xuan Fen with one hand in the past. Putting on the rouge and holding the silk flower in one hand, the emperor was so angry that he didn't talk to me for three whole days."

Zhu Chengbi burst out laughing: "Sister Yi, don't blame Your Highness, Your Highness is the most filial nowadays, but doesn't he often change his ways to honor you! Last time I saw my sister's sea blue corundum bracelet inlaid with clear diamonds is really a good thing, The color is good, and the water head is good, isn’t it the original grasp of the week?”

Concubine En also echoed with a smile and said: "Concubine Yi is the most blessed person, if Fen'er can be as filial as His Royal Highness in the future, I will be satisfied!"

Concubine Yi couldn't help laughing and said: "You two are monkey talkers, but you are talking glibly with me again, if Xun'er hears it, you should hide and have fun again."

Concubine He pursed her lips, and said with a smile: "I don't expect Fen'er to be a high-ranking official, just be a idle prince like His Highness, and I'm looking forward to holding my grandson to enjoy the family relationship as soon as possible." Have fun." After finishing speaking, he seemed to glance at Zhu Chengbi intentionally or unintentionally, but Zhu Chengbi remained unmoved, just teasing Xuan Fen in his arms.

Concubine Yi laughed so hard when she heard the words, she spat and said: "I have a long-term plan with my sister, and Fen'er is still in her infancy, so there is something that I can't wait for, are you thinking about having a grandson?"

Concubine He smiled lightly, and gently put Xuanfen's calf like a lotus root out of swaddling clothes back: "It's not a plan, it's just that I've stayed in Zi'ao City for a long time, and all the wealth and glory are nothing but illusions. This is true for the Lin family, and even more so for the Xia family. What you get today may be lost in the future. If you don’t have the diamond, you can’t stand the family’s great fortune. It’s better to have no desires and no desires. It is enough for children to be below their knees."

Enbi jokingly said: "The conversation with the concubine and the concubine is a bit like a Taoist who is a wandering cloud and a wild crane. If you know it, you will say that the empress is more open about everything. If you don't know, you think the empress is a fairy who has fallen into the mortal world!"

"Three days above the sky, the world has been around for thousands of years. The so-called fairies are even more used to seeing all kinds of things in the world." Concubine He caressed the gold-plated eight-treasure gourd earrings on her earlobe, and said with a smile, "I am thinking about Fen'er all the time, and I ask myself Enbi is just joking if she doesn't have the state of mind of becoming immortal."

Zhu Chengbi smiled slightly, and was about to speak, but saw Zhu Yu hurried in, hesitatingly said: "Mother, the one in Qianliang Hutong seems to be in trouble."

Concubine He was taken aback, but the look of disgust could not be concealed between her brows, and she said impatiently: "It's a great Mid-Autumn Festival night, she's in bad luck!"

Concubine Yi smiled coldly, seemingly carelessly, she held the jade seal and said: "It's really a matter of time, the emperor and concubine Shu are the same, but the former queen here is not so good, it's really ironic."

Zhu Yu said: "The people from Qianliang Hutong come to ask the empress, can they go to Tonghua Terrace to report to the emperor?"

"It's absolutely impossible." Zhu Chengbi frowned slightly, "Going back to the emperor at this time will only make the emperor unhappy, and besides, it may not be possible to go back now."

Enbi took Xuanfen, and said softly: "Then, after being abolished, will it survive on its own?"

Zhu Chengbi smiled faintly, and the jade luan, who was growing her temples with twin stalks and begonias, repaired her wings and swayed, and her delicate face was filled with small smiles: "After all, she was once the mother of a country. Wouldn't it be too desolate to fend for herself?" Xu Shi The scent of osmanthus in the hall has been smoked for a long time, and the pervasive fragrance mist is disturbing, as if all kinds of personnel and affairs in the past can be vaguely seen. Zhu Chengbi lightly shook his concubine's slightly cold hands, turned his head and told Zhu Yu, "Prepare the sedan chair , go to Qianliang Alley!"

Qianliang Hutong is located at the junction of Baoquan Bureau and Qiantang Bureau. Baoquan Bureau and Qiantang Bureau belong to the Ministry of Households. They are in charge of making money. Luan trees are planted all over the surrounding area for auspiciousness. It is lush and lush, but it is also a good place to work .Because it was the reunion night on August [-]th, the Qianliang Hutong seemed very quiet at the moment.

Before he knew it, he came to a small courtyard. The black paint on the gate had already been mottled and peeled off, making it look particularly bleak in the night.The guards outside the courtyard thought they had got the news, so they knelt down and bowed down. The nuns in the courtyard were already standing there respectfully, and said in fear and fear: "Concubine Lin Jin'an!"

Zhu Chengbi waved his hand to let the guards go down, and walked slowly into the yard, the nun said in a low voice: "The Xia family has not been well for the past two days, and I can't even drink the medicine, I just hold on, even though I have survived till today , but the imperial doctor said that the body is already exhausted, and probably won't be able to last tonight."

Zhu Chengbi nodded, and stood still in the middle of the yard. This house probably has a long history, and there is nowhere to escape the vicissitudes of life, whether it is the peeling paint on the pillars, the obvious cracks on the railings, or The broken tiles on the roof, looking at such a scene every day, I am afraid that Xia Mengxian, who is proud and arrogant, will suffer even more deeply.The nanny seemed to have seen Zhu Chengbi's thoughts, and hurriedly said: "Although the yard is very old, it has not skimped on food and daily life, especially the agarwood that is sent every day for the Xia family to burn is the best. .” She led Zhu Chengbi forward, “The Xia family is inside.”

The light in the room was a bit dim, and Zhu Chengbi was in a trance for a while, but when his eyes got used to it, he found a woman sitting quietly at the head of the bed.

Zhu Chengbi smiled slightly: "I thought you were lying on the bed in a daze, but you can still sit up!"
