1353. The Road to Return (31) Three in One(2/3)
Because he was afraid that the Fourth Master would come back early, he didn't say much, so he took Brother Yun home. Along the way, Brother Yun also told Lin Yutong that he would eat what he had eaten last night, and that he would go to his uncle to eat in the future. The carriage was full of his silence.
When he got home, Zhou Rui's family was already waiting. When he saw Lin Yutong, he smiled diligently: "Grandma Heng is back? Thank you for your hard work..." As he said that, he teased Brother Yun again: "Our brother is so beautiful..."
"It's a coincidence that you came." Lin Yutong got off the car and went home. "I just said I wanted to take Brother Yun into the palace, so you came. I'm not an outsider. If you have anything to say..."
Zhou Rui's family said hurriedly: "I didn't know my grandma was going to enter the palace. My wife only hit me and told her that if my grandma had time, she would go to the mansion."
Lin Yutong hurriedly said, "Even if you don't have time for these two days, the palace is really tight..." As he said that, he handed the sign given by the queen to the Zhou Rui family to see.
Zhou Rui's family has only heard of this kind of brand, but has never seen it. Now that they see it, they dare not touch it with their hands: "What do you mean? At that time, I said, grandma is a very lucky person. Look! Now it's not like I'm talking about it. It's really a great fortune. I don't know how difficult it is for others to enter the palace, but grandma has such qualifications. It's really a good fortune."
"What luck? It's just the misunderstanding of the Empress." Lin Yutong took the sign: "The Empress trusts her, and she dare not make rash things at will. When you go back to your wife, you say that I'm free, so you go and pay tribute to her and the old lady."
Zhou Rui's family responded in a hurry. Before the man was beaten, he came to report again, saying that Princess Zhongshun had arrived.
This is a distinguished guest that the Jia family can't even invite.
Lin Yutong didn't care about Zhou Rui's family, so she quickly asked someone to take Brother Yun to play, and she hurriedly greeted her.
Zhou Rui's family watched a lively scene and went back to learn from Mrs. Wang: "...I just said I was going to go into the palace, but Princess Zhongshun came again. I used to think that the old concubine Nan'an had a big show, and when I saw it, it made people feel majestic. Now, looking at this princess, that is really a big show. But looking at her, she was actually intimate with Grandma Heng, and the two of them held hands and talked, but they didn't go to the main hall..."
If you don’t entertain in the main hall, you will be an extraordinary person close to you.
Even when the Jia family went there, they were greeted in the main hall.
The rosary in Mrs. Wang's hand was spinning faster: "The Empress beat someone and handed it over... She asked us to inquire with Tong Yatou, and she was waiting for the news... Look, it's not possible today..."
Not only is it not possible today, I am afraid that people may not have time to go to bed tomorrow!
Zhou Ruijia said: "I have signs to enter and exit the palace gate. I am afraid that the empress will really make it difficult to summon or hand over the sign." Therefore, when people enter the palace every day, they may not be able to see people, and they may not be able to stop talking when they see people.
Mrs. Wang collected the rosary: "Forget it, I haven't entered the palace this month. I'll go to the palace first and ask what's wrong with the empress? The legitimate prince is the legitimate prince. This is just a baby, so don't panic and lose your composure."
Lin Yutong didn't know that Mrs. Wang was going to enter the palace. She was sitting at home with Princess Zhongshun. The two of them had a joint experience last night, and they were very involved in their conversation.
This person came for the marriage of the princess: "...I am not familiar with the wife of the Marquis of Jinghai. Besides, I can't understand what she is saying with her accent. It's okay to say hello. It's hard to talk together. I'd better ask you, the brother of the Lin family is so good?"
Lin Yutong was very good, but this was all caused by the emotions of the previous life. It took a long time to suppress the desire to praise and said, "I think it's pretty good. The specific one should ask the prince to take a look. Men are always more accurate than women."
This also makes sense.
The princess smiled: "You are a sloppy person. I didn't expect that I didn't avoid it last night. To be honest, it's not really easy for the queen to keep the prince over the years. If she keeps the prince, she will keep her."
If you can't say these words in depth, she turned to tease Brother Yun: "My little daughter is about the same size as Brother Yun. Will she be your wife in the future?"
Lin Yutong didn't take it seriously, "I will be so shameless when I really become a talent in the future."
"But don't be too long." Princess Zhongshun said: "The emperor of the province has taken a fancy to him and has hired a son-in-law. It's nothing to do with my family." As he said that, he teased the child again: "Do you think so?"
Brother Yun was not polite: "It's okay! I want it all...nothing..."
If you dare to take everything with you, you dare not to complain about it?
It made the princess so funny: "This kid never refuses everyone and dares to continue anything."
The two of them said for a long time before sending the princess away. In fact, there was nothing big about it, it was just an expression of closeness.
She was sent out here, and the old lady from Cheng'en Marquis's Mansion came together, brought several big carts of gifts, and came to thank him without any hesitation.
For a moment, there was a hint of noisy carriages at the gate.
When the Fourth Master came back, the noise at home was not over, and there were many posts in the front yard. Many people thought they had a friendship with the Fourth Master, so they all handed out posts, saying that one day they had time and came to visit the door, which was actually just inquiries about the news.
He picked some people who were very close to them, such as those from the Zhang family, such as Lin Ruhai, and called someone to reply to the house saying that he would wait at home the next day. Only then could he rest.
Brother Yun knew that his father was tired and stopped making trouble. He went to sleep on his couch.
The Fourth Master lay down before talking to Lin Yutong: "The old man is sad."
If you want to keep Prince Zhongyi's lineage, they are not honest. It's hard to say whether they took advantage of others or they used them. Emperor Zhenglong said that he was willing to believe that the former prince was uneasy and used these women who competed for favor in the palace. But the Emperor of the Supreme Emperor thought that he naturally felt that it was unreasonable to live a life of orphans and widows, and it was unreasonable to make trouble. It was very likely that he was used by ambitious people.
This is what the parents say is reasonable and it is difficult to have specific evidence. Just like two children do bad things together, their parents think that their children are the ones they are being taken to.
In fact, according to the convention, the first prince concubines are usually killed and buried with them. Few people are kept with these orphans like now. Now, the disadvantages are obvious. Children are ignorant, but these women may not be ignorant. Even worse, they are afraid that this hatred will be passed on to the next generation.
When the Fourth Master talked about the Emperor's worries, Lin Yutong was shocked: "The women in Prince Zhongyi's mansion... are afraid that they will not live long."
Sure enough! When the whole capital was focusing on the autumn examination, Prince Zhongyi's mansion was holding funerals one after another. It was said that he was infected with an epidemic, and these children were taken away to another place to settle down. Most people couldn't touch where they settled. The Supreme Emperor thought he knew it, but he didn't say anything, so he was acquiescent.
And women who are said to die because of the epidemic will not say anything. What can others know from their mouths that those who are not dead are even more unaware of.
After half a month, when the legitimate prince was about to be full, Lin Yutong entered the palace again.
I happened to "collide" Yuanchun in the palace.
I couldn't help but stop and talk. Yuanchun looked much thinner and looked a little haggard. Seeing Lin Yutong's eyes, a hint of anxiousness flashed: "Sister Tong..."
"Empress!" Lin Yutong saluted first, then looked at her distantly.
Yuanchun didn't care much about it and said, "Mrs. I said I didn't see you because I was sick. Please tell me that my sister would tell you something and ask my wife, is there anything wrong in Ping'anzhou that has nothing to do? Remember."
There was a plea in my eyes.
Lin Yutong nodded, as if she was agreeing. She smiled in her heart, and she was probably being used by Yuanchun.
Emperor Zhenglong is now at a time when she doubts everything, and she just goes to say these plausible words to herself. What does it mean? Is it that the Jia family has the handle that has been pinched in Ping'anzhou? Is it meant that she was threatened?
Lin Yutong was not sure, and she didn't want to ask.
When she saw the queen, she said everything.
The queen's mouth really showed a sarcastic smile: "You probably don't know that Concubine Jia served the concubine Zhen, who was the first prince in her early years. This concubine used to rely on Concubine Zhen, and her profile was even bigger than that of the serious Crown Princess... Concubine Zhen has been in the palace for many years, and from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to Xinzheku, there is no place that her hands cannot reach. Fortunately that day, you were decisive. Their idea was to take advantage of the turbulent fire in the East Palace. So, if it weren't for you, our mother and son would have to turn in..."
Lin Yutong shook her head: "Empress, you still have to be careful in the future."
The queen chuckled and asked in a low voice as if she was remembering something: "Can you be sure that the wine Zhou Guifei drank the same as mine that night?"
This doesn't.
She was close to the queen and only smelled the wine poured for herself and the queen. As for the wine in Concubine Zhou's cup, she had no idea. She was just careful and could not say that the queen was fine and told Concubine Zhou that something happened. In this way, she rescued the queen from one crisis but immediately pushed her into another crisis.
Now that he heard the queen ask this, Lin Yutong couldn't help but ask: "Concubine Zhou is involved?"
"That night, the things at the banquet were saved by those interested. Concubine Zhou's wine was a problem, but the amount was very small... not enough to cause the sliding table..." The queen chuckled: "It's interesting." As she said that, a little bit of sadness added to her face.
This is really not an interesting thing.
What can you say? The harem is such a place.
This is not Jia Yuanchun, and Jia Yuanchun is a person who can handle it anyway, but Zhou Guifei is not. It is a new political force, and Emperor Zhenglong relies on it. The problem reflected from this is actually the prototype of party struggles.
Behind Concubine Zhou was the power of Emperor Zhenglong’s residence, and they were all the emperor’s confidants and newcomers.
Unfortunately, the Fourth Master is not among that group of people.
Unfortunately, the Fourth Master spoke for the legitimate prince.
When she went back, she asked the Fourth Master, "Are we considered the queen now?"
The Fourth Master laughed: "One is still a baby, the other is still in his stomach, and it is not clear whether it is a man or a woman. It's too early to think about it." He frowned: "It's hard to avoid such a party fight..."
But it's just a mentality of tying together to keep warm.
Lin Yutong nodded in agreement: "So, those who dare to be pure ministers need great courage."
A few days later, Princess Zhongshun also secretly asked Lin Yutong: "Is it really related to Concubine Zhou?"
It seems that the queen also said something to her that she doubted Concubine Zhou. Lin Yutong smiled but didn't say anything. When she asked again, she just shook her head, "I really don't know."
I don’t know whether Concubine Zhou was involved, but the queen asked this question, but in fact, she was already using this matter to win over the connections of the legitimate prince.
The struggle began the moment the legitimate prince landed.
Lin Yutong looked at the sign of the palace entering the palace in her hand and locked it in the box. It was better not to use this thing. Xuanzhao went in, but he didn't want to go in for the rest of his life. She was used to simple life and didn't like that kind of intrigue.
As the days flicker, it is winter.
I didn't expect that I received an invitation this day. It was a flower viewing party held by Mrs. Jinghai. It said that the plum blossoms at home were in bloom. Come and see us, so we are so close. This is roughly what it means.
But this matter really made Lin Yutong embarrassed.
Shouldn't you go? Shouldn't! The queen named her and told her to be close to the Wen family. At least she should have the attitude.
But now that I am at home, I don’t have to think about whether it should be. Lin Yutong can go now.
"No!" The Fourth Master turned the post aside, half-drooping his eyelids and said, "It's not easy to see plum blossoms? The red plums planted on the mountain outside the city are all red plums. You can see whatever you want. I want to go there one day, I'll accompany you."
Haha! I won’t go! It’s okay if I never appreciate the plum blossoms in my life.
She arranged for Liuli to say, "When she replied to the post, she said that my brother had some cough recently and was inconvenient to go out. She would definitely come to the door to apologize another day. She prepared a decent gift and asked someone to send it over."
As soon as Liuli went down, the Fourth Master said again: "If you don't go, don't go. If you don't find any reason, you can just talk about the child, and you don't mind it."
Hey! The problem is not over yet, right?
Lin Yutong didn't say anything and didn't want to recruit him. He became more and more excited: "If you have the skill to calculate the accounts in the shop, and ask Jia Yun's marriage, isn't it better than going to enjoy the flowers?"
OK! You are really good.
Lin Yutong said nothing in front of the child. She went to coax him at night and lay in his ear and said, "...Among the men I have seen, you are the only real man..."
This is said - beautiful!
It’s really a man, and it seems that it’s not right to always hold on to this matter, so the next day he said, “If you want to go, go.”
To be continued...
