The biography of Concubine Lin in the harem

Yuanyangwa Cold Cream Huazhong (4)

On the ninth day of July in the 37th year of Xianning, the capital was warmly blowing and fragrant flowers were blooming. It was the perfect weather at the end of summer. The emperor's eighth son, King Zhou Yidan, who was deeply trusted by the emperor, married Zhu Chengbi, the second daughter of Taixue ceremonial officer Zhu Houtang, on this day. Concubine Shu, because the Emperor and Concubine Shu liked this marriage very much, King Wei welcomed Zhu Chengbi into the mansion with the gift of marrying a side concubine.

The auspicious time has come, and the guard of honor with gongs and drums is marching from Zhu's mansion to Wei Wang's mansion.

Min Qiongzhi and Min Qiongluo got out from the bustling crowd and slowly approached the guard of honor. On such auspicious days, they could always get a lot of money. In this way, the food for several days in a row was settled.

Suddenly there was a "hissing" of the horse, and a frightened horse came galloping fast from nowhere, and was about to bump into Qiong Zhi and Qiong Luo. Suddenly, a figure rushed over, pushed hard, and Pushed the petrified sisters out.There was chaos at the scene, and even the guard of honor stopped.

Zhu Chengbi lifted the curtain, and asked impatiently with a sullen face, "What's going on?"

The dowry maid Zhu Jiao panted slightly, and cast a sharp glance at Min Qiongzhi and Min Qiongluo who had fallen to the ground, before Shi Shiran replied: "Miss, they are two little beggars!"

Zhu Chengbi took a glance and saw two thin girls with tattered clothes sitting on the ground shivering, and said with a sneer, "You two are very courageous."

Min Qiongzhi saw a luxuriously dressed woman in a wedding dress full of pearls and emeralds asking questions, and knew that it was the second young lady of the Zhu family who got married today, so she knelt down and kowtowed: "Miss, please forgive me!"

Zhu Chengbi ignored it, and only said leisurely: "What if I don't forgive you?"

Min Qiongzhi's shoulders trembled slightly, and he begged sadly: "If Miss is upset, you are the one who decides the life of a lowly bastard, so please let my sister go."

Zhu Chengbi was slightly taken aback: "Are you willing to trade your own life for your sister's life?"

Min Qiongzhi's heart skipped a beat, and he said loudly, "Yes!"

Zhu Chengbi was quite emotional, nodded and said: "Sisters are deeply in love, it's really rare, Zhu Jiao, take them with you." After finishing speaking, Zhu Chengbi ignored Zhu Jiao's slight astonishment, and said, "You and Forsythia are both my dowry , the status is noble, if there is any rough work, you can let them do it."

Min Shangshi woke up suddenly. Knowing that he had dreamed about the scene 19 years ago again, he held his forehead and rested for a while. When his mind cleared up, he slightly raised himself up, lit a small flower candle, and quietly looked at the swaying The candlelight was in a trance, since the empress was grounded, I have been dreaming every night for the past few days, and the incomparably majestic self in front of the maids in the imperial dining room on weekdays has shown a lot of fatigue.

Yes, it’s been 19 years. When I arrived at Wei Wang’s mansion, I went to the dining room with my sister Min Qiongzhi. Later, my sister was appreciated by Princess Wuyang and was brought into the princess mansion to serve. Later, King Wei succeeded to the throne. , I also entered the palace with the servants of Wei Wangfu, and went to work in the imperial dining room.

However, since then, for a long time, Concubine Lin has never looked for her again, and she also knows what Concubine Lin means. After years of experience, she is even more clear about what to say and what to say, except Sister, Zhu Jiao and Forsythia, I am afraid no one will know that their lives were saved by Concubine Lin back then.

Until half a year ago, Concubine Lin gave herself a chance. She took an exquisite lunch and went to Fengyi Palace, but saw that the queen was worrying about the family banquet in Juhu Yunying Palace. She knew that the best time had finally come up.

The lotus seed and corn porridge made of lotus leaves made the empress greatly appreciated, and the emperor's attitude towards the empress has improved a lot. size matters.

Although the queen is kind to her, she has always understood that one minister does not serve two masters. Besides, her sister is now accompanying the daughter of Princess Wuyang's daughter Jinkang. If it wasn't for Lin Fei and Jinkang The Lord Weng has a good relationship, and I'm afraid they won't be able to see each other for a few years, not to mention, there is the most important point.

Min Shangshi slowly opened the drawer at the head of the bed, and there was a small sachet lying quietly in it. After a long time, this sachet was also very old, but the delicate lines and exquisite patterns showed that the embroidered The ingenuity of the sachet owner, Min Shangshi gently caressed the sachet, with warm tears filling the corners of his eyes, he called softly: "Mother".

That's right, on the day when she first arrived at Prince Wei's Mansion, Concubine Lin asked herself: "What are your names?"

"Slave Min Qiongzhi."

"Slave, Min Qiongluo."

Zhu Chengbi smiled lightly, and the Ruyi butterfly on the temples touched the necklace hanging from the golden plum hairpin: "The name is not vulgar, so you must not come from ordinary people's families."

As a result, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back.

However, Zhu Chengbi didn't delve into it, and just waved his hand to let them go down.

At first, I thought I could live my whole life without incident, until that day, when I stood at the gate of the palace in a daze, a burst of excitement and excitement suddenly surged in my heart. This is the place where my mother once stayed!Min Qiongluo glanced at the tall vermilion walls and the resplendent palace, and secretly clenched her fists. Mother, although you told me, but my daughter really can't forget the scene back then. That scene was like a needle every day and night. heart.

The closer he was to the original tearful oath, the more meticulous his words and deeds became. If he wanted to achieve great things, he had to prevent others from finding any mistakes.

This kind of tacit understanding and determination made him willing to be Concubine Lin's insider. However, neither he nor Concubine Lin's strength was too weak, and the only way was to wait.

Until that day, Zhuyu came to the imperial dining room, and in this round, he would bet his life and fight again.For the last time, I seriously asked Bixi—her look and appearance were just like me back then.

This is an unprecedented conspiracy. Once one wrong step is made, every step will be lost, and one's body will be crushed. Fortunately, it succeeded in the end.

Min Shangshi stood outside the Chonghua Hall, and the silk and bamboo in the hall seemed to weave one piece after another of charming music that kills people invisible, forcing people into the soul.Min Shangshi only felt his heart pounding, until Bixi bumped into Ling Rui with red date honey, and his heart stopped suddenly. The breath of the wind.

In 19 years, from the ignorant little girl who broke into the guard of honor for the second Miss Zhu's marriage, to the murderous Shangshi in the imperial dining room, in 19 years, I have gradually awakened my original vows, from a distant Dreaming of a good opportunity that you can hold tightly in your hands.

Ling Rui frowned as she watched Bixi kneel on the ground in a panic, but she knew that this was Concubine Shu's red date honey, and she couldn't make a mistake. With a simple thought, she gently picked up the lid of the broken jade and blue flower cup, and He took the handkerchief and wiped it, then covered it carefully, and this cover finally ruined Fengyi Palace.

A cup of jujube honey has aroused the hatred and murderous intentions of many people.

Thinking about it until now, Min Shangshi still feels cold sweat on his palms, and I don't know how long it took, but finally he started to shed tears in a daze, and the gentle appearance of his mother seemed to reappear vaguely.

Vaguely recalling the day before yesterday, Concubine Lin's health had improved a lot, so she sent dinner to Hanzhang Palace, Concubine Lin smiled and picked up a crystal duck with chopsticks and said: "You have a very accurate eye for people, Bixi is old, although She is small, but she is rare calm. You should train her well first. After two years, I will arrange to serve her concubine. His Highness Jiu is still young, and Yunzhao Palace will need more manpower in the future, not less. "

Min Shangshi hurriedly agreed, but he saw a woman in a dark purple cloud-like butterfly palace attire staring at him closely at the table, her eyes were somewhat pitiful and seemed to be somewhat relieved.

Min Shangshi was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said: "This aunt is unfamiliar."

Concubine Lin coughed slightly, and said with a smile: "It's my distant aunt, who just entered the palace a few days ago, you can call her Aunt Zheng."

Aunt Zheng just came back to her senses, but she didn't speak, she just smiled warmly at herself, but this smile had a faint taste of her mother back then.

Min Shangshi was in a daze for a while.

Aunt Zheng?Although he is a bit old and fierce, with layers of wrinkles on his face, and a long scar on his right cheek, but the demeanor and elegance of his gestures and gestures faintly feel that there should be some origins.

If it is a well-clothed and well-fed person, why is it poorly maintained?

Min Shangshi lowered his eyes. His mother seemed to have said that a close friend of hers offended a high-ranking person for some reason. After all, he was given poisoned wine. Less mung bean soup, the best friend probably saved his life because of it, but I don't know what happened afterwards, my mother never saw her again, and later, even my mother was hunted down.

Things in the palace can never be explained clearly.

Sitting on the head of the bed with his knees hugged in such a daze, Min Shangshi could only feel that the things in his mind were popping up one after another, a mess, and he couldn't straighten it out, but if he could straighten it out, I'm afraid His own death is not far away.

If you are in your position to seek your own government, if you are not in your position, if you know too much, you will be closer to death. Probably this is why my mother warned herself not to take revenge before she died.

But no matter how much my mother persuaded me, I still entered the palace. Sometimes, fate really likes to play tricks on people.

Thinking about it one way or another, before I knew it, the sky was already bright.
