The biography of Concubine Lin in the harem

Water Palace Wind Comes Pearl Emerald Fragrance (3)

When the concubines left, Zhu Xi brought up a cup of almond cheese, with an unconcealable smile on his lips, and said in a low voice: "Liu Cainu is very displeased by concubines of the Sixth Palace. Pan Cairen ridiculed and ridiculed, but there was not even a single rescuer."

Zhu Chengbi took an exquisite jade fan from the table to enjoy, and said for a moment: "The concubines have never liked Concubine Shu very much, but Liu Cainu is so courteous, and she spends half a day with her in Guanju Palace. , cooking in the small kitchen by herself, and taking care of Xuanqing. If she does too much, she will cause contempt and dissatisfaction. In addition, her status is low, and she is naturally soft-spoken. If you step down, who will take her seriously."

Zhu Xi took it for granted: "It's all right if she keeps silent, but today she dared to speak out to ridicule Pan Cairen and nobleman Fuqu, isn't she hitting the bullet hole? Min Shangshi and the servant said that Liu Cainu came from a humble background , but only came from the small fishing villages along the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and was assigned to serve in the imperial dining room because of her handsome appearance, and now it seems that she is also a hollow beauty."

Zhu Chengbi nodded his head: "That's all." Bi Yu seemed to be thinking, and then smiled, and said slowly, "It's better for Pan Cairen and her to quarrel, and it's not easy to worry about."

Zhu Xi smiled knowingly: "For the sake of slaves, it's best to keep making trouble in front of the emperor. One is of noble birth but has been out of favor for many years, and the other is like Concubine Shu but of low background. The slaves are also very curious. How should the emperor weigh it?"

At the beginning of May, Yidan had recovered a lot, so Guanju Palace held a family banquet, except for Concubine Shu, only Concubine Lin, Concubine He, Concubine Yi and Liu Cainu were invited as companions.

Liu Cainu received this honor, she was very flattered, and she was very serious. Not only did she recommend herself to prepare a banquet, but she also specially found a few pieces of enamel porcelain from outside the palace to present to Concubine Shu. The flower embellishment has some meaning.

Zhu Xi sneered secretly: "Liu Cainu can climb the pole, but I didn't expect Liu Cainu to pay attention to the bucket-colored porcelain statue that my mother gave me that day. It's funny to say that there are not many stocks in the Neon Pavilion. Cai Nu was afraid that she would not be able to find anything decent after rummaging through it, so she sent people to look for it outside the palace!"

Zhu Chengbi was dressing up at that time, selected a few jade hairpins to examine carefully, and turned his head and told Zhu Yu: "Choose a few plain clothes, today I am going to Guanju Palace, and the emperor is here, so the clothes must not be overstuffed." " After finishing speaking, Zhu Chengbi looked at himself in the mirror, thought for a while and said: "Shu Guifei is quite close to the Liu family, and there are some things that you don't need to say when you leave Hanzhang Palace, so that you will not be in danger. "

In Guanju Palace, there is the smell of honey and incense as calm as water, and the light smoke curls up, making people feel like they are out of the world in a trance.Although it is gradually getting into summer, the morning sun is not too bright, it is light and lustrous like azure porcelain after rain, which makes people calm for no reason.

In the past few days, Guanju Palace has newly changed the window screens of spring clothes as thin as onion's wings. The sun sifted in through the screens, and there was a bit of a misty atmosphere. of fog.

Today, it is already the season of colorful flowers. Outside the window, there are bustling and colorful flowers, surrounded and bustling. However, when viewed from inside the hall, there is a trace of tranquility and tranquility, which makes people feel safe and comfortable. .

Because Yidan has not yet fully recovered, today's banquet is quite plain, with very little meat, Liu Cainu also prepared very well, Ruyi bean rolls, orchid dried tofu, Yunhe Duanxiao, Yutu cabbage, Mingzhu tofu, all It was refreshing and pleasant, Yidan was also very interested, and drank a few cups of green stem dew, which was also made by Liu Cainu, the color was clear and lustrous, like a pool of jasper, very attractive.

Concubine He played with the Hetian jade wine cup that was warm from the tentacles, and said with a faint smile: "Cai Nu might as well tell Ben Gong the recipe for making the wine, Ben Gong thinks this green stem dew is very fragrant!"

Liu Cainv hurriedly said respectfully: "It's good that the empress likes it, and my concubine will send Fang Zi to Yunzhao Hall in person at night."

Concubine Yi seemed to be listening, but she didn't seem to have any intention of doing so, she just smiled slightly, turned her head to Zhu Chengbi and said, "It's starting to get hot, I wonder if Diji and Fourth Highness can sleep peacefully at night?"

Zhu Chengbi paused and smiled slightly: "Sister Lao is concerned, Ling'er is fine, but Zhen Ningqing has reduced his diet a little."

Concubine Shu Gui said with a smile when she heard the words: "Emperor Ji is also sixteen years old, I wonder if my sister is interested in choosing a son-in-law?"

Yi Dan also smiled: "Le'an and Zhang Shiling are a blessing from God, I've always been quite proud of it, this time I really would rather choose a good son-in-law." Yi Dan focused his eyes on thinking, and after a while, he seemed to think of something, He clapped his palms and smiled, "I seem to remember that there was a doctor from the Ministry of Industry who seemed to be transferred to the Ministry of War at the beginning of the year. He made great achievements in the battle against Wuliang at the beginning of the year."

Concubine Yi smiled and said: "I heard that it seems to be Enbi's nephew named Chen Zhengze. Does the Emperor like that child?" Concubine Yi put a chopstick of wishful bean rolls into the emperor's bowl, and said with a gentle smile, "Actually That's good too, can't Concubine Lin and Concubine En be more intimate?"

Zhu Chengbi pondered, then smiled and said: "Zhen Ning has always had some ideas, and those frail scholars in the court are not easy to look at, but they are men who like to march and fight and serve the court..."

Concubine He thought about it for a while, and said in contemplation: "Sun Chuanzong and Li Jingren of the Xiaoqi Battalion are both excellent generals, but they only have attainments in the art of war. He married a wife and had children, but there was a man named Chen Shun in the northern battlefield who attacked Zhusheling by surprise during the battle of Wuliang, he was a brave and resourceful man."

Yi Dan nodded and said: "Then Chen Ke and his son have guarded Jizhou for many years, and they are certainly meritorious ministers. However, I am very reluctant to marry Zhen Ning to Jizhou."

Concubine He comforted her with a smile: "The emperor has a heart to love his son, but it's just about the marriage of his children. Why don't we ask Di Ji what he thinks someday..."

The sound of "pa" startled Yidan and all the concubines, it turned out that a court lady who was presenting dishes accidentally knocked over the plate, making a mess all over the place, Zhu Chengbi said angrily, "Why are you so careless!"

Concubine Shu hurriedly persuaded: "Xu is a newcomer to the palace, it's just a little messy, sister don't need to worry about it." Concubine Shu gently held Yidan's right hand, turned her head and gently ordered, "It's okay, clean up and go down Bar."

The court lady hurriedly kowtowed to thank her, Zhu Chengbi's eyes turned slightly, but she saw Liu Cainu's eyelashes trembling slightly, suspicious in her heart, and she was thinking, but she heard Bamboo's breath screaming: "There are assassins! Escort! Escort!"

Zhu Chengbi hurriedly turned his head back, but saw that maid in the palace was holding a dagger, her eyes were fierce, she was rushing towards Yidan like a whirlwind, and the dagger was pointed at Yidan!The light of the knife flashed, and the cold air appeared, which was full of murderous aura!

In the blink of an eye, it was Liu Cainv who reacted first, opened her arms and threw herself in front of Yidan, and Yidan just pushed Concubine Shu Gui away by her side, it was already difficult to dodge, only It can be blocked by Liu Cainu.

Zhu Chengbi was frightened and terrified, and was about to go forward to escort him, but was held down by the concubine He beside him, unable to struggle, he could only watch helplessly as the dagger penetrated into Liu Cainu's left chest, blood spattered all over the place.The court lady's face was full of disbelief and anger, but without hesitation, she pulled out the dagger and stabbed Yidan with the knife. Passing across Yidan's chest obliquely, she roared angrily, and was about to stab again, but was quickly subdued by the guards who had already rushed over.

Liu Cainu vomited blood, and the Newro palace dress had already been stained mottled with blood. She grabbed Yidan's skirt tightly, her eyes gradually dimmed, like a young fish washed up in the shoal, dying.Seeing that the assassination failed, the court lady was furious, and she jumped up and down and cursed: "The dog emperor! The dog emperor! You killed my family! You will die!"

Surprised and angry, Yidan pressed his chest hard, but blood still oozes from between his fingers. Seeing Liu Cainv fainted, he was so angry that he patted the table hard, breathing heavily: "Who are you? Dare to assassinate me!"

"The dog emperor! My father is Ge Haizheng! He is Bo Linghou's confidant general! He is the general of the Great Zhou! You poisoned my father! You killed my people! The dog emperor!" It was terrifying until dark black blood gushed out with foam from the corner of his mouth.

Concubine Yi turned pale with shock: "She took poison!"

The palace lady's aura gradually weakened, she glanced at Liu Cainu who was lying in Yidan's arms, and murmured indistinctly, "Bitch... bitch... I shouldn't... I shouldn't... I believed you..."

At this time, Concubine Yi and Concubine He had rushed to Yidan's side to check his injuries, and the person closest to the dying court lady was Zhu Chengbi. Hearing this sentence, Zhu Chengbi was startled and uncertain, but felt suddenly enlightened, so he squeezed it hard With Zhu Xi's hand, he gently pouted his mouth, Zhu Xi understood, and raised his voice: "What are you still waiting for, take this assassin down!"

Yidan was anxious and angry, and at the same time, his chest was in unbearable pain, a mouthful of blood spewed out "wow", and he collapsed softly backwards. Concubine Shu was so panicked that she fell on top of him and wept endlessly. Zhu Chengbi suddenly got up and yelled Said: "Zhuyu, hurry up and pass on the imperial physician! Ding Xiang, help Liu Cainv to the side hall first!"

Zhu Chengbi tried his best to calm down the breathing in his heart, looking around, the maid who assassinated was being dragged out of Guanju Palace by the guards, there seemed to be a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, and she was panicked at the end. Bolinghou, father and son, and all his confidants were poisoned, but Ge Haizheng was not deeply poisoned, so he desperately tried to assassinate Yidan, but unexpectedly, her daughter entered the palace as a slave, and assassinated again two years later.Then, how did she escape the family annihilation, how did she get into Zi'ao City, and how did she get close to Yidan and assassinate Yidan?

Zhu Chengbi suddenly felt a chill in his heart. Even though he has power in the government and the six palaces, there are still many things that he can't discover.

Zhu Chengbi's eyes swept over Liu Cainu's lifeless pale face, and he couldn't help but put on a cold and stern look, secretly clenched his fists, and if he dared to play tricks in front of him, don't blame himself for being ruthless!
