The Concubine of the Lin Family in the Red Chamber

"You haven't entered the palace for a long time, and I don't have anyone to talk to in the palace. If you come today, you should sit down more."

Mrs. Xu said with a smile: "I want my sister-in-law to know that Twelfth Lord is busy all day long, and everyone in the family, big and small, relies on me for support. I really don't have time to spare."

The princess smiled and said: "Just pretend, there is nothing you can't say in front of me, it's just that the queen doesn't want to see us, you don't want to come into the palace to see her cold face. You can say it, don't you?"

Ren's has always been so outspoken, but she has the capital, who said that her father is a great Confucian in the world.Even the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor love her very much, otherwise they would not have specially hired the Crown Prince as a concubine.

"Sister-in-law..." Xu lowered her voice nervously, "Be careful that the walls have ears."

Ren covered her lips and giggled, "Look at how nervous you are. If you can't speak freely in the East Palace, it's really meaningless. Don't worry, everyone in this yard is my confidant. Let's keep talking, a word I can't even fall outside."

Only then did Xu feel relieved a little, but still lowered his voice and said: "Be careful, there is no big mistake, I know that the emperor's sister-in-law has her heart towards me, but we are not outsiders, so why bother to make excuses for others."

Ren said helplessly: "Okay, okay, I know you've always been cautious, so let's not talk about her. I heard rumors outside that the old twelfth is having a heated fight with a head of the Ministry of Industry, and it's Lin Jue, right?" ?”

When Ren mentioned Lin Jue, Xu didn't feel embarrassed, because Li Yibai and the crown prince had always been very good friends, and their sisters-in-law were also very close.When the original crown prince was outside the palace, the Ren family and the Xu family also had frequent contacts.In particular, the prince's health was broken for some reason, and the Ren family has never been pregnant. Xu's son is often carried by the Ren family to relieve boredom.

A couple of Xu's sons and daughters envy Ren's enough.Now that she has a son herself, her love for Li Man has not diminished in the slightest.

"That's right, Lin Jue is only about 20 years old now, and I don't know how the Twelfth Master coaxed him into his hands. The Twelfth Master also really loves that Lin Jue, and now he doesn't go back to the palace. It's so bad, everyone is flattering me now, and I'm afraid that if I lose the prince's favor, I will drive them out."

It's funny when Xu thinks about it, she has always been a kind person, when these people were favored in the past, they didn't take her seriously because of their favor, and they were all taken care of by their princes. Only more stable.Although the Twelfth Lord doesn't come back to the manor much now, even if he does, he never stays in each house, but he has a son and a daughter by his side, and enjoys the honor of the princess, and the future son will only be As for her own son, Xu really has nothing to feel uncomfortable about.

Seeing that Mrs. Xu showed no resentment, Mrs. Ren quietly let go of her heart, and said in a teasing voice: "I don't know what kind of fairy Lin Jue looks like, so that the old twelve family doesn't come back. You too, why? She is also the mistress of the palace, so she must show some matriarchal aura."

Xu said: "I've seen Lin Jue before. He really doesn't have the character of a goblin. Although his face is handsome and handsome, his character is very dignified."

Mrs. Ren couldn't hide her curiosity, "Speaking of people like us, there are people who hide filth in the backyard, and some have small operas. But people like the old twelve are really rare. Since you have seen Lin Jue, quickly Tell me, what does he look like with three heads and six arms?"

Mrs. Xu smiled, Mrs. Ren was originally a lively character, but now she is detained in the palace, and every time she sees her, she asks her to tell new things outside the palace, so she does not suspect him, and describes Lin Jue's face in detail After a while.

Ren's face was smiling, followed by teasing in his mouth, but his heart was full of grief, it really was him, it really was him...

In the evening, before the key of the palace door was locked, Mrs. Xu left the palace. Mrs. Ren just returned to her room and wrote a letter to her father: I have found my aunt's legacy, and I hope my grandfather will come to Beijing to meet him soon.

On the night when Ren Qingping arrived in Beijing, Lin Jue, who had been unconscious for half a year, slowly opened his eyes.

Li Yibai was sitting next to him. When he saw him wake up, he was taken aback for a moment, and then turned into ecstasy. With tears in his eyes, he held Lin Jue's warm hand with trembling hands, almost choked up, "You...you woke up?" As if he couldn't believe it, he pinched Lin Jue's sunken cheek again.Seeing Lin Jue's eyes and eyebrows showing a smile, the tears in his eyes dripped down.

A man doesn't flick his tears lightly, just because he hasn't reached the sad place.Originally, Lin Jue was seriously injured, but Li Yibai had no tears to shed under the great grief in his heart.Now that Lin Jue woke up suddenly, his heart was agitated and he shed two lines of tears.

Although Lin Jue's complexion was ruddy and she looked healthy, she was still very weak after lying down for so long.He raised his arms, trying to wipe away the tears on Li Yibai's face, but his arms were as heavy as black iron, so he could only slightly raise his hands.

As soon as Lin Jue moved, Li Yibai understood what he meant, and hurriedly covered Lin Jue's hand on his face.Lin Jue was pricked by the stubble on Li Yibai's face, and shrank his hands slightly, but Li Yibai clenched his hands even tighter.Lin Jue didn't struggle, and let him hold it, just looking at him with a smile.

The two looked at each other silently, and they both saw the affection in each other's eyes.Lin Jue saw the deep affection in Li Yibai's eyes, and he couldn't help being touched.After all, he is a cold-hearted person, and his affection for Li Yibai may not be worth one-third of his affection for himself.

But what does that matter, his love is very shallow, but it was all given to Li Yibai, that's enough.Li Yibai should also understand himself, so he has been like this without complaint or regret.

Lin Jue felt that his love was very shallow. He didn't realize that a person like him would block Li Yibai's arrows without hesitation. His affection was no less than Li Yibai's.

The lingering eyes were intertwined in the air, inseparable, after all, Li Yibai moved his eyes away with a flushed face, and then gently touched Lin Jue's cheek, "Don't move, I will invite Master Luo and Second Senior Brother to come over have a look."

As soon as he turned around, he couldn't help but turned around again, touched Lin Jue's eyes to confirm that they were indeed open, then heaved a sigh of relief, and told him again, "I'll invite Master Luo and Second Senior Brother to come over. , you lie down by yourself first, your injuries are not healed yet, so don't move around."

Seeing him nagging like a child, knowing that he was frightened, he nodded slightly.He was so weak now that it took a lot of effort to pronounce, and even nodding took his strength.

Even so, Li Yibai insisted several times before he left without feeling at ease.Because Lin Jue needed to rest, no servants were arranged to guard the room.Li Yibai went out of the house, only to call Qingtong and Qingsong who were guarding outside.

"My master is awake?" Qingsong was always lively, she was very afraid of Li Yibai, the county prince, now she doesn't care whether she is afraid or not.

Li Yibai wasn't cold-faced anymore, and had a rare smile on his face, "Well, you go and invite Master Luo and Senior Brother Zhou over, your master is awake."

Qingsong urged Qingtong to hurry over and stretched her neck to look into the room.

It was rare for Li Yibai to show kindness, "Okay, let's take a look inside, what can you see here?"

Qingsong looked at Li Yibai with bright eyes, saw that Li Yibai ignored him and turned back to the house, and then quietly followed behind him, really meeting his master too much.

When Lin Jue saw Li Yibai coming back, there was a smile in his eyes, and when he saw Qingsong sneaking behind him, the smile deepened.

"Master..." Seeing that his master really woke up, Qingsong's little tears never stopped, and he didn't dare to go forward, so he hid behind Li Yibai and wiped his tears.

Lin Jue couldn't move or speak, so he just smiled blindly.To others, he lay down for more than half a year, but to Yu Linjue himself, he just slept.But he also knew that he was seriously injured, and it may have been a long time since he woke up now, but he didn't expect to lie down for more than half a year, no wonder he couldn't move or speak.

Brother Zhou checked the pulse and asked his master to take a look. Fang nodded and said to Lin Jue, "You are recovering very well. You can't move or talk now because the medicine you took before has the effect of Mabosan. Since you have woken up After a few days, the medicine of Mafeisan wears off, and I can speak, but my body is not in a hurry, and I still need to exercise little by little."

Li Yibai hurriedly said, "Is he well now?" He was afraid that Lin Jue would fall into a deep sleep again.

Brother Zhou smiled and said: "Of course, he was injured by an arrow before. Fortunately, after taking the life-saving medicine I gave, his internal organs are almost healed now. But he can't move. It's better to rest."

Li Yibai hurriedly nodded in response, and patted Lin Jue's hand again, "I heard what your brother said, don't worry, just take it easy and get well."

Lin Jue smiled and blinked.

Master Luo also heaved a sigh of relief, and sent everyone in the room down to rest. After all, Lin Jue was fine at night, so there was no need to stay here all the time, which delayed Lin Jue's rest.

After all the people in the room were gone, Master Luo said, "It's good that you're awake now. A few days ago, someone sent a message saying that Ren Qingping, the patriarch of the Ren clan, was coming to pay a visit. It's his granddaughter. I don't know what kind of relationship your family has with the Ren family, but he has an extraordinary status, so I didn't dare to go back for you. At dusk today, I heard that the head of the Ren family has already entered Beijing."

Lin Jue thought for a while, but he didn't hear any mention of the Ren family from his father, but he still knew Ren Qingping's name, and he was a great Confucian of the generation who was as famous as his own grandfather.The old man should have reached the age of ears now, so he came to Beijing suddenly, and asked him to call him by name, which is really surprising.

But this Ren Qingping is a great Confucian in the world, even the emperor respects him when he sees him, he is only a junior official of the fourth rank, so he has no reason to refuse.

Lin Jue blinked, indicating that he understood, and Master Luo didn't say any more. After all, it was the Lin family's business, so he couldn't get involved too much.

After Master Luo also went back to rest, Li Yibaifang took off his outer shirt and lay down beside Lin Jue. He had been sleeping with Lin Jue all this time.Although Lin Jue couldn't move, he had to cooperate with his body stiff and slept very uncomfortable, but he still refused to leave.

Lying beside Lin Jue with his head propped on his side, Li Yibai gently traced the outline of Lin Jue's face with his fingers, "After sleeping for so long, I guess you won't be able to sleep anymore, why don't I talk to you."

Lin Jue smiled and blinked, and Li Yibai told Lin Jue the interesting things that happened in Beijing one by one. Lin Jue found it interesting, and after blinking twice, Li Yibai told the story in detail.

After such a night, when the sky had become white, Li Yibai fell asleep with Lin Jue in his arms.When Li Yibai's breathing gradually became heavy, Lin Juefang opened his eyes pretending to be asleep, tilted his head slightly, and looked at Li Yibai with crooked eyebrows.

It's great to have such a person by my side.
