Chapter 678 Three in One(1/2)
The concubine's son Gaomen 62
The sky was gloomy, but the snow did not come down. It was just that the wind was a bit unrestrained.
The palace people shrank their shoulders one by one and followed the two masters. Seeing that the masters had something to say, they didn't dare to follow them tightly, and they were far away, separated by more than ten steps. But I don't know if the wind direction was wrong or what, but I couldn't hear the words of the two masters in front of me at all. Even the words seemed to be blown away by the wind.
The white fox's cloak wrapped around Lin Yutong's body, but the neck was made of a fiery fox tail. It looked a bit charming and gorgeous. She had eaten well and was too lazy to move during this period. She put on the fat and had a little plump face. When she asked someone to see, she knew that her life was very good.
Jin Yunshun's mouth smiled, but instead looked at Lin Yutong, he focused on the road leading to the palace gate. There was no one on the road. When the palace people saw his master, they avoided it from afar. Only the two walked on the spacious palace road, making people feel that not only the road was spacious, but the entire palace became empty. He stared at the leaves blown by the wind, watching them rolling into the air, and when he felt like the leaves that rose with the wind, he would still fall down if he lost the power of the wind. He fell under the feet of people, trampled on them, and eventually fell into mud. Thinking of this, his heart became even more firm. After being silent for a long time, he laughed softly: "I have seen many scenery along the way. The emperor girl can also go around outside the capital with the opportunity, and maybe she will have different gains."
Is this suggesting yourself something? What is a different scenery?
Lin Yutong thought so, but chuckled: "Prince, don't coax me. People say that it's good to be at home the day before yesterday, and it's difficult to go out for a while. Even if you are as noble as you and me, you may not be as satisfactory as you and I will go on the way. When we leave the palace, the first three and the second five are surrounded by them. Didn't the bandit also bump into it? They say that barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes. Although these words are thick, the reason is not rough. Do you think?"
The more obvious the smile on Jin Yunshun's face. Who is barefoot among the two of them? Who is wearing shoes? This is really a problem. He was stunned for a moment before laughing, "My sister is a noble person."
The implication is that Lin Yutong is wearing shoes, and he is barefoot.
This is a bit threatening.
As a princess, you are still a princess. But if you insist on making trouble, it is hard to say. Anyway, the prince seems noble, but he is also Prince Duan’s parent-child. He should have nothing. And because he is the eldest son and has grown up, if he is not adopted, he will die with Prince Duan. Therefore, for him, he is truly nothing and has no choice but to retreat. He is not the barefoot person. If the princess is not involved in anything, no one will be without her honor, but she is the one wearing shoes.
Lin Yutong's lips curled up, and she couldn't deny this. In fact, what she wanted to say the most was that we were all barefoot, who was afraid of whom? After all, Emperor Yongkang knew in his heart that his princess was fake. Outsiders looked at the bright and beautiful shoes on her feet, but they were made of paper. They could not withstand the wind and rain and would reveal the stuff.
Thinking of this, she pursed her lips and simply pointed out: "The three groups of people on the road are not mine. This is not my move. But as for whether they are Duke Jin, I really don't know."
As soon as this was said, Jin Yunshun staggered and almost fell down. Along the way, he had dealt with all kinds of people, and he spoke one by one, as if he didn't speak so much, and he seemed to be incompetent. But this was the first time he met such a person who said so clearly. He spread all the shameful things so calmly on the surface, and he still asked someone to say it?
Once this fig leaf is gone, the two of them face each other, which makes people feel a little embarrassed and embarrassed.
He raised his head, but saw Lin Yutong crying with a smile on his lips, and his eyes were a little narrow-minded. At this time, he had to calm down and said helplessly: "Sister is really... unexpected." He also had a little bit of awesomeness to say.
Lin Yutong snorted and said, "Actually, if you think about it carefully, your highness should understand. It is not good for me to gain power in the Duke Jin's mansion. Mrs. Chu and the prince's wife are both daughters of the Chu family, and they wish they could eat my flesh and drink my blood. And the prince's consort... How did his biological mother Miao die? You are not unclear. Even if the prince's consort doesn't care about Jin Cheng'an, would Jin Cheng'an be so relieved? If he really had a little pity, the prince's consort would not be sick before marriage, almost relying on the joy. So, your highness understands."
In other words, although the two are from Duke Jin's Mansion, they are also people who have deep hatred with Duke Jin's Mansion. It is impossible to be on the same line.
Jin Yunshun nodded, not saying anything about this: "Times change and the world change, and now it seems to be far apart, but what about the future?"
"Is the prince worried about the child I will give birth to in the future?" Lin Yutong looked at Jin Yunshun, "But in my opinion, you shouldn't stare at my stomach. No matter what, I am far from Your Majesty. But Li Cairen... If her belly bulges... it will be really interesting."
Jin Yunshun's expression changed, one was his grandson and the other was his own son. The importance of this was indeed different. With the emperor's favor for Li Cairen, it is hard to guarantee that he would not... His lips pursed: "Why should the emperor remind me like this? If Li Cairen gave birth to a prince, he would be the emperor's brother."
The emperor and Prince Duan are brothers! It’s different!
Lin Yutong slapped the corner of her mouth and snorted, "But what benefits does it do for me to give birth to a prince?" Her voice was very low, as if it was attached to Jin Yunshun's ears, "If you are the prince, my son... has a chance. But if she gives birth to a prince, my son will really have no chance." After that, he looked at Jin Yunshun and smiled: "I give such an answer, the prince is satisfied."
Jin Yunshun took a deep breath and looked at Lin Yutong suspiciously for a while.
Lin Yutong's face was still smiling, but the expression in her eyes became solemn: "Look, you don't believe anything I say. I want to say that I don't have any thoughts about other things. You think I'm hiding it deeply, and you are more and more wary of it. Now I have expressed your guesses in your heart, and you look like a ghost. Then, how should I reply to your words? Didn't you just say it? Times change! Who knows what tomorrow will happen? My promise today will not change tomorrow? Take one step at a time. Just know that there is no conflict of interest between me and you at this moment. Moreover, you are the prince, what is the prince? The prince is orthodox. I am not stupid! Concubine Chen is not stupid either! We will not think about subverting this orthodox, which is a thankless thing. What do you think?"
"The emperor girl is really enough... honest!" Jin Yunshun's expression changed several times. "If everyone is as easy to communicate with the emperor girl, life will be much better." As he said, he changed his voice and suddenly asked, "I heard that the emperor girl and the prince consort have a close relationship with the Marquis Jing'an?"
This is a bit more and more demanding. Not only staring at myself and the Fourth Master, but also spreading all of them. What do you want to do?
Lin Yutong felt a little unhappy, but when she raised her eyes and looked at Jin Yunshun, she hid the displeasure in her eyes very well: "It's not that I have a close relationship with the prince-consort and the Marquis of Jing'an, but that the Miao family has a close relationship with Jing'an. There are still many things that I haven't figured out about the Miao family, and Jing'an Marquis is the only person we can contact and is related to the Miao family."
"That Miao Zhuang in the hall that day?" Jin Yunshun asked immediately.
Of course, the truth cannot be said at all. Lin Yutong shook her head: "No one can prove whether he is a real Miao family. We don't want to find it hard. It's enough to know that he obeys Jin Cheng'an. It's too late to stay away, so how could he inquire about the Miao family's old story with him?"
This makes sense.
Jin Yunshun didn't hear any loopholes from Lin Yutong's words, and then smiled and said, "The emperor has a lot of contact with Marquis Jing'an, so you know the situation of the Yong'an County Lord's family."
The Lord of Yong'an County is the daughter of Marquis Jing'an and Princess Wenhui. In short, he is also the cousin of Emperor Yongkang.
Why did Jin Yunshun find out about her?
Lin Yutong changed her mind and seemed to have caught something. She tentatively said: "The Lord of Yong'an County should be good at Xiao's family."
The current husband of the Yong'an County Lord is Xiao Baogui, the Marquis of Wenyuan. She was married to the Li family of the Marquis of Cheng'en before. After her husband died, she married the Li family of the Li family with her posthumous son. Her eldest son married a girl from the Chu family, and now the young couple has returned to the Li family. In the Xiao family, the county lord of Yong'an County Lord gave birth to a daughter and a son for Xiao Baogui. She had never seen that daughter Lin Yutong, but as the eldest daughter of Marquis of Wenyuan, she is also the granddaughter of Marquis of Jing'an and Princess Wenhui, and her status is not low.
After doing this, I knew it in my mind. Could it be that the prince wants to choose this girl from the Xiao family as the princess?
Seeing Lin Yutong pondering, Jin Yunshun asked, "What do you think the emperor sister?"
Could it be bad?
Everyone knew that the emperor wanted to use Jing'an Hou, and Jing'an Hou's prestige has always been very high in the army. Instead of selecting a person from Jing'an Hou's granddaughter, he chose a granddaughter in a roundabout way. I don't know whether this idea was what he thought about or the idea of the staff hiding behind him.
Lin Yutong praised in her heart and nodded: "I know what the prince means."
Jin Yunshun then smiled lightly: "I think the emperor is optimistic, too."
It seems like I'm afraid that I will ruin this matter.
Lin Yutong smiled slightly, "As long as your Majesty agrees, I will wish your Highness a fulfilled wish."
As she spoke, she looked up and the palace gate was already in front of her. "Crown Prince, come back. It has been sent here. I'm leaving the palace now. Let's talk again when we have time."
Jin Yunshun nodded: "The matters of the library need to be done more with the emperor."
Lin Yutong responded, then turned around and took big strides.
Looking at Lin Yutong's back, Jin Yunshun's eyes narrowed. Jixiang handed over the hand stove and whispered: "Is there anything wrong with Your Highness the Princess?"
Jin Yunshun shook her head: "It is the biggest mistake not to see if it is not right. How can she say that? She just can't see through it."
"It doesn't matter whether the princess can see through it. Whether her life is better or not depends on whether she can bet on the bet." Jixiang glanced at the door of the palace, "It's the eldest princess. Since the late emperor went, wouldn't it be rare to enter the palace? If it weren't for the Marquis of Jing'an... the eldest princess wouldn't have the honor of the past. When the late emperor was there, the eldest princess dared not give anyone's face. Even the two princes and princesses had a lot of advice. Now... she can't see her shadow again. She said she was old and weak, but she was just not coming down from a high place. The same is true for Princess Yunyin. If she doesn't bet on you, she has to bet on Li Cairen. Even if the princess's belly is strong and she really gave birth to a grandson for the emperor, this is not something that can be done immediately. Besides, can the emperor's body be waiting?"
"Stop the sound!" Jin Yunshun looked around. Even though it was indeed empty and no one could hear it, he was still cautious and careful. "Let's go, go back to the palace!" He turned around and walked two steps before he whispered to Jixiang as if he was remembering something: "That old Taoist... really can't buy it?"
Jixiang whispered, "It's too eye-catching, I'm afraid that someone will catch the tail. But the medicine boy in front of him, named Tongchen, is a rich and pretty man. He took a fancy to the water girl from Lixiangyuan at a distance. He felt like a cat's claws were scratched. If you stretch it again, you won't be afraid that he won't take the bait."
A Taoist boy who loves money and beauty, how could he accept such an apprentice by his side?
Jin Yunshun said "hmm" and said that he knew, his mind couldn't stop floating again. Yun Yin said that Li Cairen's belly... This made him feel worried, and it seemed that he still had to talk to the queen.
But he was worried that the emperor would have a biological son, but he couldn't say it. He frowned and looked at Jixiang: "I'll find a way to talk to the old lady of the Li family..."
Jixiang showed a embarrassed look: "The Li family has never seen rabbits or eagles."
A trace of disgust flashed in Jin Yun's eyes: "Then I would suggest that there must be one of the concubines in the East Palace in the future who will be the Li family."
Even for the queen, this Li family girl would have to be included.
Jixiang then responded, followed the prince's footsteps and stopped talking.
Lin Yutong frowned when she got on the carriage. As soon as the prince returned to Beijing, he kept making moves. Did he seem a little anxious? But in Lin Yutong's observation, the prince has never been a fool. He naturally would not do stupid things. And the prince's current actions are not about being quick success or instant benefits, nor is it about being impatient. It can only be because he has support in his heart.
But what kind of reliance can make him act like this?
Lin Yutong put his hands on the brazier, took the roasted chestnuts from the brazier with tongs, and handed them to Sanxi and Manyue one by one.
The thoughts in my mind went back and forth, and then I thought I had to make some sense. After getting off the car, Xiangli came out first, "I haven't come back yet. But Mrs. Weiyuan Hou is here."
Yun's family?
Lin Changgen's second wife. Why did this come? Since he was crowned the princess, he has basically never met the Lin family. Although the ceremony that should be left has to be left, he never met. This saves everyone from embarrassing each other.
Therefore, Lin Yutong was a little surprised that Yun's nominal stepmother came to visit.
"How long have you been here?" Lin Yutong asked while letting the girl unload her cloak and handing her a hot veil.
"It's been an hour." Xiangli reported: "No one expected that she had really waited for so long."
"Please." Lin Yutong sat in the main hall, "No matter how you say it is an elder, don't be rude." At least in the eyes of outsiders, he was raised by the Lin family. No matter how bad the Lin family is, he also has the kindness of raising Lin Yutong.
Yun came in and was about to pay a visit, and Lin Yutong helped him with her: "Sit down. I haven't seen you for a few days, but is it okay?"
"All good!" Yun's face had a smile, but for no reason it made people feel a little reluctant to smile, "Is your highness okay?"
Lin Yutong nodded, "We don't need to be polite. We all say that we won't go to the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble. I'm also arrogant and just think that this is the Three Treasures Hall. If you have something to do, just say it. I heard from the girls that you have been out for quite some time. If you delay, you should be anxious at home."
Yun slowly put away the smile on his face, and tears immediately burst into tears: "To be honest with your highness, if I have a solution, I dare not disturb your highness's purity. You may not know that the old lady is planning...to call the third girl into the palace."
The third girl is Lin Yuke born to Yun.
"Aren't the third sister only eleven years old this year?" Lin Yutong looked at Sanxi, "I remember correctly, right?"
Sanxi shook her head: "Your Highness remembers correctly."
When Yun heard Lin Yutong calling her daughter, the third sister, the expression on her face relaxed a lot, "Yes! The third girl is only eleven..."
So what should I do to send this little girl to the palace? It is definitely impossible to serve the emperor. Lin Fanghua doesn’t have that big stomach.
"Did you send it to Li Cairen?" Lin Yutong asked with the tea in her hand, paused for a moment.
Yun's tears came down again, "What's the matter with a talented man, the legitimate daughter of the minister? The old lady didn't know what medicine she took. Li Cairen is just a distant relative of her mother's family..." In addition, the emperor often went to Li Cairen's palace, and his girl was fostered by such a person. What if something happened? Even if nothing happened, if something bad became known, the child would be ruined for the rest of his life.
Lin Yutong thought to herself, seeing Yun, I didn’t know who Li Cairen was? And the old lady of the Lin family was like this, I was afraid that Lin Fanghua brought Lin Yuke into the palace and went to the prince.
She laughed in her heart that a little girl was just pointing at her that she could make the prince confused.
After she understood this, she said bluntly: "Didn't the third sister stay at the Yun family before? Just stay at the Yun family. When you go back and say something to your father, you will say... The old lady is confused, so just recuperate in the mansion. You can't see guests, even if your family members go to see you, you will be careful of getting sick." She picked up the tea bowl, but didn't drink it, and just held it in her hand, "Don't worry. Father is not confused."
No matter how stupid Lin Changgen is, he knows who he should be directed to and who he should be.
Yun thought to himself, this was the intention of completely tying the old lady in the room. Her heart was beating violently. When she looked at Lin Yutong holding the tea bowl, she knew that it was the meaning of serving tea and seeing off the guests. She quickly stood up and said goodbye. In fact, when she heard Lin Yutong call Marquis "Father", her heart trembled. Not everyone can bear this father now.
After seeing off Yun, Lin Yutong put the tea bowl on the table, "Lin Fanghua jumps around like this, really makes people feel disgusting. I want to get into anything..."
As soon as the Fourth Master entered the door, he saw Lin Yutong having a temper. He rubbed his hands and said, "What are you sceptical about with her? In a few days, I will take you to see a good show."
Lin Yutong didn't know when the good show would be staged. As for whether it would be lively, there was no way to know. After pestering the Fourth Master for a long time, he just pursed his lips and said nothing.
To be continued...
