The biography of Concubine Lin in the harem

Dreams in Jiuhua Tent (1)

In Hanzhang Palace, Deyang Palace, Zhu Chengbi was lazily lying on the imperial concubine's couch, playing with Pai Gow in his hands, Zhu Xi said with his hands in his sleeves: "Your Majesty asked the servant to check the kapok, and the servant has already checked it out."

Zhu Chengbi nodded lightly: "Is there nothing leaked?"

Zhu breathed out: "Your Majesty, don't worry."

After finishing speaking, Zhu breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Your Majesty's guess is right. Kapok really admires Master Zhu Qizhen. In the past few days, a basket of purple potato cakes was steamed every day and sent to Master Zhu. The slaves thought, they secretly There should be some friendship here, but the purple potato cake alone may not prove anything, even if the embroidery patterns of kapok these days are more mandarin ducks and acacias."

Seeing that Zhu Chengbi frowned slightly, Zhu Xi said again: "Until yesterday, my servant saw Lord Zhu blowing xuns for the kapok by the Taiye Pool, but this servant doesn't know the music theory very well, and couldn't tell what the song is."

Zhu Chengbi played the Pai Gow one after another with Mosuo, and said calmly: "It's enough."

Zhu Xi lowered his eyes slightly, hesitating a bit: "It's just, if Mr. Zhu has no intention..."

"If it's unintentional, why are you blowing xuns to the kapok by the Taiye Pool?" Zhu Chengbi sneered slightly, stood up and said, "Whether it's intentional or unintentional, monogamy is good, but he's on the rise now, if he doesn't Taking a concubine is unjustifiable after all. What's more, he acts resolutely and resolutely, and has a faint demeanor of Yichen.

Zhu Xizhen thought carefully, and said again: "But he is the nephew of the empress after all, so he must not be unfaithful to the empress, right?"

"The court is like the court, and the court is like the court. Since sisters and close relatives are nothing, let alone distant kinship, apart from other things, when He Wanyi was abolished into the cold palace, Marquis Shen Yang didn't say a word." Zhu Chengbi watched Zhu Xi slightly avoided his eyes, and said softly, "I know you can't bear it, but there is nothing you can do right now, and you also know why the search for Aunt Zheng can only be done by Zhu Qizhen and not by Yiyi. The Empress Dowager is Yizhen's adoptive mother. She is different from the emperor. The Concubine Jing voluntarily handed Yizhen over to Concubine Shu to raise her, while Zhaohui was tricked. Don't let Yizhen know, and Zhu Qizhen has a close relationship with Yizhen, if you want to silence him, you can only put the best secret work by his side."

Zhu Xi said softly: "What if Kapok has a deep affection for Zhu Qizhen and doesn't cooperate with the empress?"

Zhu Chengbi sneered: "No, her family is in the hands of Bengong, and she never dares to make fun of her family. Bengong can't lose Yizhen's help, but to completely bring down the queen, the queen mother must be allowed to Losing the right to beak, in order to make the emperor no longer care about the Queen Mother's upbringing, we must expose the past Zhaohui's affairs, and the links are intertwined and connected, and none of the links can be distorted or broken."

Zhu Xi was silent for a moment, and slowly thought about it: "There is really no other way to do what is happening now. The empress and the king of Liang, in the past..." Zhu Xi paused for a while, and finally sighed deeply, "How do you know that the situation is so bad?" So many things have come in."

Zhu Chengbi was dazed for a moment, but saw Kapok came in holding a lotus-patterned bright silver cup: "Your Majesty has a bad appetite recently, why don't you bring in some red dates and bird's nest for warming up."

Zhu Chengbi saw the red dates and bird's nest steaming hot, and saw the picture of the wishful couple on the silver cup with lotus patterns, and he couldn't help sighing, "Ruyi couple...sometimes it's really hard to be happy. I have been looking forward to having a happy couple since I was a child." Beloved, with one heart and one mind, never parting from the white head, but until now, I understand that the so-called long-lasting kindness is often just doing my best and obeying the destiny."

Kapok's gesture faltered, and he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is graceful and demeanor..."

Zhu Chengbi smiled faintly: "For example, when I was in the Zhu Mansion, my father didn't pay much attention to it, and my aunt secretly oppressed her. I understand the pain of the concubines, and I also think about being a real wife in the future, so I can feel proud and proud."

Mu Mian knew how to touch Zhu Chengbi's sore spot, so she could only become more obedient: "But now the empress is the head of the three concubines, and the matter of capturing the sixth palace is also a gain and a loss."

"That's what you said." Zhu Chengbi said slowly, "For example, Concubine Shu, it doesn't matter if she is a concubine, the emperor loves her so much, even if the empress is the first wife, what will happen now?"

Zhu Chengbi turned his eyes to look at the respectful and docile Mu Mian in front of him, and said with a smile: "Speaking of which, you are also 22 Mu Mian, so, would you like to marry someone who doesn't love each other as a wife, or marry someone who loves each other as a concubine?"

Mu Mian was unprepared, and was taken aback when he heard the words, his face was a little red, and he said in a low voice: "Why do you ask this in such a good manner?"

Zhu Chengbi only said: "Just answer it."

Mu Mian hurriedly knelt down and said, "My servant thinks that the distinction between wives and concubines is not important, what is rare is being able to be with the person whom I adore wholeheartedly." Mu Mian paused for a moment, and there were traces of bright light faintly appearing on her clean face, "My servant With a humble status, I can only marry ordinary people, I don’t dare to hope for a good marriage, I just hope that I can live a stable life and that’s enough.”

Zhu Chengbi thought about Kapok's expression, and nodded slightly: "A good marriage is what you strive for. I only tell you the truth that a rope saws a tree and water drips through a stone. If you deliberately conceal what you want in your heart, it's fine if you just want to live a safe and secure life." It’s just that in the future, when you think about the past, don’t regret it. The words love, hate, anger, and ignorance are never alone, and there is no perfect love in the world. Even if the emperor loves Concubine Shu Gui so much, it will take a long time The woman comes in."

Zhu Chengbi seemed to be sighing: "Since ancient times, the love of emperors has never been exclusive to a certain person, and Concubine Shu will also face the risk of fading and falling in love. If she had chosen to leave at the beginning, she might not have all kinds of worries. But, if I leave the one I love, I'm afraid my heart will be lost."

Kapok was a little dazed, but just stared at the green-glazed incense burner not far away, in which top-grade Siamese aloe incense was burned, and only a few wisps of snow-colored mist escaped slowly, leaving no trace of the cool and quiet fragrance. The earth is lingering and fragrant in this silent hall.

Zhu Chengbi said softly: "I have been in the palace for eight years, and I have been in the palace for 11 years. I have seen too many things from the Qiandi to this Purple Austrian City. Think about it for yourself."

Seeing Kapok slowly retreating from the hall, Zhu Xi held the bright silver cup with lotus pattern, and said softly: "The red dates and bird's nest are not so hot anymore."

Zhu Chengbi supported his aunt with his hands: "Leave it alone for now."

Zhu Xihaosheng comforted him and said: "Madam, I'm afraid I can't rush the matter of kapok for the time being. Although she has always been playful, she always has to think carefully when encountering such things. Besides, Mrs. Zhu has only been married for half a year. It is not suitable for premature concubine."

Zhu Chengbi was a little distraught, just watching the few wisps of moonlight lightly entering through the window curtains, what kind of tired expression was stained on his face: "Let's not talk about it for now."

The water is shimmering and the sun is shining, and the little lotus is just blooming.Concubine He and Concubine En were taking a leisurely walk by the Taiye Pool, looking back at Xuan Fen who was sleeping soundly in the arms of the wet nurse from time to time, it was quite fun.

Concubine He was very interested, and chanted softly: "In the embankment of Bize, there are cattails and lotus;

Enbi also smiled: "Although it's not yet the time when the lotus leaves are boundless and blue, and the lotus flowers are so red in the sun, it's quite interesting to see this little lotus just showing its sharp corners."

Concubine He was a little pale, she just nodded slightly and said: "It has been several years since the palace has been so quiet."

Concubine He turned around and gently stroked Xuanfen's smooth forehead, rolled her eyes and said: "It can be seen that it is much better that the person who made waves is gone!"

Enbi was about to speak, when there seemed to be a figure behind the rockery not far away, she couldn't help scolding: "Who is it!"

Seeing that she couldn't dodge in time, Ling Wei could only turn around: "Wan'an, concubine and concubine, Wan'an, concubine."

Concubine He smiled coldly, and the corners of her lips curled into a sharp arc: "Who should I be in this palace? It turns out that it is Aunt Ling Wei who is beside the empress. Although the queen mother has allowed you to travel outside the palace, in addition to receiving monthly salary and seasonal supplies , Auntie always seems to be busy with a lot of things!"

Enpinman stepped forward and said with a soft smile: "The Taiye Pond is very windy, if my aunt brings a cool breeze into Zhaoyang Hall, the empress's heart will be even colder, aunt should go back early."

Ling Wei didn't say a word, but just smiled faintly: "My concubine and my concubine, my concubine and my concubine, slaves and maids have seen a lot of things about red tops and whites in the palace, but slaves and maids also want to advise, the mother of the country is the mother of the country, and we can't tolerate it." Half contemptuous, have you forgotten about Du Ronghua?"

Concubine He raised her eyes and looked at Ling Wei contemptuously: "Auntie is using the empress dowager to suppress me? I don't seem to be disrespectful to the empress. Is it possible that my aunt is very courageous and rushes to gossip in front of the empress dowager's bed?" Gossiping? I would like to advise you, aunt, don't be too ostentatious. In the past, Lingrui's fate was to be beaten to death with a stick. If aunt wants to serve the queen more in the future, she should do her duty."

Concubine En took the time to straighten the tassels on her clothes, and said with a smile: "Sister and Concubine is serious. In the past, the empress took good care of the concubines. Last year at the New Year's Eve banquet, the empress was worried that the concubine would be bored alone in the moon shadow stage." Panic, specially sent my aunt to pick up my concubine and go to Chonghua Hall!" Enbi's eyes flashed, and she pressed Ling Wei tightly, "The concubine will naturally remember the empress's concern, and she must multiply it in the future. It’s the reward.”

Seeing that Ling Wei's face was cloudy and uncertain, Enbi laughed lightly and said, "It's just that what is aunt doing here at this time? Don't say that aunt just hangs around looking at the scenery."

Ling Wei gritted her teeth slightly, and had no choice but to bend her knees and said, "This servant was summoned by the Empress Dowager to go to Yining Palace, and when she returned to Fengyi Palace, she was shocked by Concubine Lin's sedan chair, and Concubine Lin made this servant kneel here to think about it .”

Concubine He scolded softly: "How dare you startle Concubine Lin's sedan chair, Concubine Lin is now taking charge of the affairs of the Six Palaces, looking at the Longqing Dynasty, besides the one from Zhaoyang Palace, is there anyone else who can enjoy this honor? You But are you tired of living?"

Not far away, Zhu Xi came in a hurry, saw Hefei and Enbi busy blessing here and said: "Wan'an, concubine and concubine, Wan'an, young master of Enbi." Standing up, he turned his head and reprimanded Ling Wei. Said, "Your Majesty made you think about it, why are you standing here and talking?"

Only then did Concubine He notice that there were some knee marks on Ling Wei's knees, and a lot of dirt was also stained, and she smiled coldly: "I am also very curious, why did you do something behind the rockery when I came here?" !"

Ling Wei became more and more embarrassed, so she had to kneel down and said, "The servant girl was punished by the concubine Lin to kneel by the Taiye pool. Because she saw the concubine He and the concubine Xiaozhu coming, she thought of kneeling behind the rockery. The servant girl is not Deliberately resisting the order and disrespecting it, it's just, just..."

"I just don't want to see people I don't want to see, and I'm afraid of being ridiculed again?" Concubine En covered her mouth with a smile. The Palace and Fengyi Palace are not welcome at all, and today they ran into Concubine Lin, so naturally there is nowhere to go, so you want to avoid Concubine He and this young master, right?"

Ling Wei was speechless, she just bowed her head and said nothing, Zhu Xi didn't look at her, she just said coldly: "The Fourth Highness and the Sixth Highness want to come here to play, so it's fine for the Fourth Highness, Ling Rui poisoned Shu at the beginning. As a noble concubine, His Highness the Sixth Highness is the last to want to see you, Concubine Lin doesn't want you to ruin His Highness Sixth Highness's good mood, so you should hurry back to Fengyi Palace."

Note: "There are cattails and lotuses in the pond of Bize, there are cattails and lotus in the pond of Bize, and Puhan is in the pond of Bize." From "Zebei" in "The Book of Songs? Chen Feng", the original text is as follows: "There are cattails and lotus in the pond of the other lake. There is a beautiful person, how can it be hurt? Wumei does nothing, tears are pouring down. On the pond of the other lake, there are cattails and lotus. There is a beautiful person, huge and curly. Wumei does nothing, In the middle of the lake, there is Pu Han. There is a beautiful man, huge and dignified. Sleeping without doing anything, tossing and turning on the pillow."
