The Concubine of the Lin Family in the Red Chamber

"Brother Huang..." Li Yibai hesitated to speak.

Li Yiyang sighed softly, "You don't need to say too much, I understand. You don't need to worry about me here, but you are just acting according to the wishes of the father. It is you, after all, who are on the cusp of the storm, catching up with the emperor and the queen mother Returning to Beijing, I'm afraid I will suffer some grievances."

"It doesn't matter if you are wronged or not, but I am thinking, now that the queen mother is back, the grievances of the queen mother back then..."

The mother queen Li Yibai mentioned is not the current queen Chen. Li Yiyang also understands, "The mother died of a blood collapse back then. I don't believe that there is no handwriting of the queen Chen. It's just that the queen mother supported the queen Chen and opposed the mother. , and during the mother's pregnancy, the queen mother has always controlled the phoenix seal and the harem, whether this matter has anything to do with the queen mother, I am really not sure."

Li Yibai pondered for a moment, then said: "Whether it has anything to do with the Queen Mother or not, Mother Fang is now at the Lin family, and she was there when the Queen Mother died of blood. I just don't know how she got out of the palace. I checked secretly The document, she was indeed released, and there is no problem in responding to the document. I just don't know if she belongs to the empress mother, empress Chen, or... the empress dowager?"

"Nurse Fang was familiar with you and me back then. Although her face has changed a lot now, her name and surname have not changed. Presumably she has her considerations. If we ask her directly, she may not be able to tell the truth. At that time, the emperor also sent the nanny to the Lin residence, but they did not get any useful information."

"This is difficult. I asked Jinyu first. What Jinyu meant was that Nanny Fang's family had suffered a robbery, and only her and a five-year-old nephew were left in the family. If she hadn't entered the Lin family It's still not sure what to do. Speaking of it, although the Fang family is not a big Zanying family in the local area, it is not a small family. It is also a suspicious thing how it will be wiped out overnight. "

"In the past, we didn't dare to act rashly. Now it's only in the past few years that we have begun to secretly investigate the events of the past. After many years, many old people have died and scattered. It may be even more difficult to find out the evidence and restore the truth of the year. Disaster."

He was outside the palace, and even his body was poisoned to death, fortunately, the miracle doctor You Luo showed his supernatural powers, otherwise his descendants would be cut off.No matter how much the emperor likes him, he probably won't pass the throne to him, an extinct man.Now the son-in-law is two and a half years old, and it has only been two or three years since he got the position of prince, and his wings are not yet full, which shows the difficulties in the past.

"Brother, don't be discouraged. The difficult time has passed, and we have survived it. Although it is more difficult to investigate what happened back then, it is not at all clueless. Since there is a mother Fang, we can always Find a clue from her."

Li Yiyang nodded, sighed lightly, and asked, "How is Lin Jue, is there any sign of waking up?"

Li Yibai frowned lightly, "Master Luo and several senior brothers said that he is fine, and his internal injuries are recovering well, but it may be due to excessive blood loss, and he is still in a coma. Master Luo said, it is only this time He will definitely wake up within two months. Brother Huang, don't worry about me, I just take it as a rest. Besides, Jinyu is not awake, and I really don't have much thought to pay attention to the court. Now I avoid it because of this matter. Living in the mansion is also to show others to be weak, it is better than confronting others tit for tat, but it will be inferior."

Li Yiyang said: "It's good if you can think about it. Now that the Supreme Emperor and the Queen Mother are in the palace, it's not easy for me to go out to visit Lin Jue, so you can stay with him at ease. Tomorrow ask younger brothers and sisters to bring a few children into the palace. My brother, but you are blessed with many children, and the old man is also happy to see it. At that time, someone will divert the wind for you, which is better than you supporting it alone."

Li Yiyang paused, and then said: "Besides, looking at what Empress Chen meant, she wanted Lao Liu to show her face in front of the Empress Dowager. Your children have passed away, and although they won't win the Empress Dowager's favor, they can always suppress Lao Liu. June [-], this is also my selfish intention."

Li Yibai smiled, "Brother Huang, what are you talking about? In the past, the sixth child bullied me a lot. I will not let go of the opportunity to retaliate against him. Didn't Empress Chen say that I am the one who must be punished, and I will take revenge tomorrow." Tell him to see what a real villain is."

Li Yiyang smiled and pointed at Li Yibai, "You, you..."

After leaving the palace, Li Yibai sent his family back to the palace to deliver a letter to the princess, while he went directly to the Lin residence.

Lin Jue was still lying quietly on the bed as before. If he didn't know about his injury, he might think that he was just asleep.

When Daiyu heard the pass, she got up to greet her. Li Yibai hurriedly said, "You don't need to be too polite," and asked, "How is today?"

Daiyu wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, "It's still the same. Master, the old man has already checked the pulse, and said that it is much better than a few days ago."

Seeing that Li Yibai was sad, Daiyu seldom comforted her and said: "My lord, please rest assured, the photos are much better now than when I just came back, my lord, sit down first, I'll go and see how the medicine is cooked."

Li Yibai never took his eyes off Lin Jue, and when he heard this, he smiled and said, "You don't have to do everything yourself, the servants will take care of these things."

Daiyu smiled slightly, "It's better for me to look at it myself."

Li Yibai didn't say any more.

The next day, Princess Xu of Yonghe County brought her own sons and daughters and the family's sons and daughters into the palace together to meet the Empress Dowager Chen.The concubine, Ren, arrived early with her son, and was talking with Empress Dowager Chen.

Mrs. Xu led several children to meet the Empress Dowager Chen first, and then got up when she heard the Empress Dowager Chen said "flat body", and then greeted the Empress Dowager separately.

Empress Dowager Chen said with a smile: "These are the children of the old twelve's family, come here quickly and let the imperial grandmother have a look."

Li Yibai had two sons and three daughters in total. Among them, the eldest son and the third daughter were born of the concubine Xu, and the other concubine and two daughters were born of two side concubines. Although there were several other concubines, they had no children.

The eldest son, Li Man, already looked quite good at a young age. He led several younger brothers and sisters and the younger sister who was being held by the nanny, stepped forward and kowtowed. Kowtow, may the □□ mother have a long life without bounds."

Empress Dowager Chen smiled, and beckoned Li Man to come forward, "Good boy, come to mother."

A little boy with three heads, wearing a purple dress, wearing a golden lock of longevity around his neck, with a shy smile on his face, walked up to the Empress Dowager Chen, and called out sweetly, "□ □mother."

Empress Dowager Chen's heart melted, and she hugged Li Man in her arms, "You are such a lovely child," she said to Xu with a smile, "You are also a good person, and you have raised the great-grandson of the Ai family very well. good."

Mrs. Xu hurriedly replied, "It's all under the blessing of the Empress Dowager."

Empress Dowager Chen rejoiced, "You don't have to be humble. You are a great contributor to my Li family. Only the twelveth son of our Li family is the one who has a lot of children. This is all because of you." credit."

Xu hurriedly said a few more words, secretly glanced at the Crown Princess, and saw that she was fine, so she felt relieved.However, the Queen's eyes were really piercing. Xu Shi was not that kind of boudoir woman, so she knew the grievances between her prince and queen, so she turned a blind eye to it.Since she is married to the Twelve Princes, she is a member of the Twelve Princes, and all the honors and favors are on the Twelve Princes, so how could she do such a thing like a rat.Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Concubine Xiande who was sitting under the queen.

Li Man was rubbed in Empress Dowager Chen's arms, his face flushed, he is a man now, how could he be treated like this, men and women are different, this is what Yi'er told him.But this person seems to be his elder, so there is no problem, right?

Little Li Man was held in the arms of the Queen Mother, but he was thinking of his little playmate in his heart.Uncle Lin was ill, and he hadn't seen Yi'er for a long time, and the concubine mother also said that she couldn't disturb Uncle Lin's recuperation.

Li Man is a sensible child, even though Shen Si had already run away, it did not delay his polite answer to Queen Mother Chen's question.The children of the prince's family are still in their infancy, the children of the fifth and seventh princes are not as cute and well-behaved as Li Man, and the children of the sixth prince's... Empress Dowager Chen simply doesn't want to pay attention.

She was also putting eye drops on the queen. After all, the queen had repeatedly disobeyed her, but she really didn't take her seriously.As for whether the empress would retaliate against the twelve princes because she took a fancy to the children of the twelve princes' family, that was out of her scope of consideration.

Seeing the Queen's eyes burning, the Sixth Prince's concubine was always aggressive, but she really didn't dare to come forward, she just hugged the child tightly in her arms, so as not to be rude and annoy the Queen Mother, followed I ate melons.

The Crown Princess is a dare to speak, her father is a great Confucianist in the world, although he is not an official in the government and the public, but he is really full of peaches and plums.Even today's Prime Minister Zuo once worshiped and consulted with her father back then, so he can be regarded as a half-teacher.

"The queen mother only cares about Man'er from the family of the twelfth brother, but she also loves the one from the granddaughter-in-law's family, or the granddaughter-in-law will be jealous of the twelve family members."

Empress Dowager Chen pointed at Mrs. Ren, "Look at your daughter-in-law's mouth, she is so eloquent, it's the Ai family's fault. Hurry up and bring the good great-grandson of the Ai family, so that the Ai family can be very rare."

Mrs. Ren unobtrusively brought Li Man to her side, let him sit beside her, and asked the nanny to carry her child to Queen Mother Chen. "The Queen Mother hugs your great-grandson and tells him to share your blessings."

Empress Dowager Chen smiled and shook her head, "You child." Finally, she hugged the little child.

The room was peaceful and happy, and they didn't leave until the Empress Dowager Chen took a break at noon.

The concubine pulled Xu Shi, and smiled at the queen: "I haven't seen my younger siblings for a long time, so I took her to the East Palace to sit. The queen mother always has a lot to say to the sixth younger siblings, so I don't want to disturb you too much." .”

Empress Chen hated her very much in her heart, but she had a kind face on her face, "Your sisters-in-law have something to say about yourself, you don't need to tell me, just go."

Xu smiled coquettishly and left.
