[Qing wear + Red House] Lin's Royal Concubine

"I only assist the inner court, and I should prepare for the position of praise...Zierlin family, the famous family of Dusheng...I will make you a noble concubine with the treasure book..."

The words of praise on the imperial decree are mostly exaggerations, but these are not important, the only important thing is those two words - imperial concubine.

Lin Ruhai's expression suddenly relaxed. The higher the initial position, the more important his daughter's weight in the royal family... So even if the girl from the Tong family is also canonized as a noble concubine, it doesn't matter, at least the higher-ups No one is pressing.

As for whether it is possible for others to become imperial concubines or even queens?Lin Ruhai thinks this possibility is very small. These two positions are too important, and their meanings are quite different from others. If they really want to be canonized, it will not only be a matter of the harem, but also involve the former court. , there are much more things to worry about, and it is absolutely impossible to give them out easily.

All the masters and servants of the family kowtowed to give thanks before they stood up, and then people from the House of Internal Affairs rewarded many things—gold, silver, horses, silk and satin, etc., which were regarded as dowry gifts from the royal family.

After all this was over, the cabinet scholars, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and the emperor's confidant chief eunuch Li Dequan and others who came earlier by order began to exchange pleasantries with Lin Ruhai. There was a lot of delay, so I only stayed for about a stick of incense, and then took the red seal given by the Lin family and left.

In an instant, only my family was left.

All the servants looked at each other in dismay, all of them couldn't hide their excitement and joy, their faces were flushed and the corners of their mouths were grinning to their ears, only surrounding Lin Ruhai and Lin Shiyu were congratulating each other, and the auspicious words were like pouring beans. Pour it out.

The Lin family has never been that picky, so they gave everyone a generous reward immediately, which meant to make everyone feel happy together.

"Yu'er, come to the study as your father."

Lin Ruhai looked at the graceful eldest daughter in front of him, and couldn't help feeling a little sad and worried.

"Although you are born extraordinary, ordinary people can't hurt you and can't hurt you, and the Holy One will be tolerant and doting on you, but you must remember not to be negligent or even act arrogantly because of this. Such a nagging thing can't be seen You can't figure it out, and no one can guarantee whether it will disappear suddenly one day. It is always good to be vigilant at all times, and you must not be careless. Second, although it has been seen that the royal family has used methods to win over you over the years, other It is hard to guarantee that there is no fear in your heart, so you must always be cautious and think twice before acting, especially avoid meddling in politics!"

"Interfering in politics in the harem is a taboo, and it has been like this since ancient times... Now there are only you and my father and daughter here, so it's okay to talk to you as a father... Today's empress dowager is an example. Why did the mother and son come to the point of falling apart? Concubine Dong E is indeed a very important reason, but freezing three feet is not a one-day cold, the most fundamental reason is that the Empress Dowager is too strong and does not know how to delegate power... When the first emperor was young, it was all right, but after taking office, he was still constrained by the empress dowager everywhere, no matter what decision he made, the empress dowager must nod his head, if the empress dowager disagrees... As the emperor of the Qing Dynasty , he couldn't even get out of the palace gate with the imperial decree, and he could be stopped by someone forcefully when he walked halfway..."

"The appearance of Concubine Dong E just exacerbated the conflict between the mother and the child. Even without her, the breakup between the mother and the child would have happened sooner or later...It is a pity that the Empress Dowager did not seem to be able to wake up from it. It seems that they have stepped on the old road of the past again, and the contradictions between the grandparents and grandchildren have obviously increased..." Lin Ruhai shook his head and sighed: "This is true between mother and son, grandparents and grandchildren, even more so. Let alone ordinary harem concubines? No matter what, you must keep this bottom line in mind, and you must never interfere in politics!"

Lin Shiyu seemed to be listening obediently, but deep down in her heart she felt a little unwilling.

She has no desire for power, but she really doesn't want to watch the reality develop like history. It is clear that Kangxi was a hard-working emperor in the early days, and the country is far from being reduced to the hopeless situation in the future... …If some changes can be made at this time, will the result be different?

A century of humiliation...

Lin Shiyu pressed her lips tightly, but her heart was still aching.

She wants to work hard, but her father's words cannot be ignored. No emperor can allow a woman to interfere in politics. The more enlightened the emperor, the more so, let alone a suspicious person like Kangxi, and there is an example of the empress dowager before. Presumably, he is more sensitive to this aspect, and he must be more careful in what he wants to do, otherwise he may implicate the whole family if he is not careful.

Lin Ruhai, who didn't know what terrible thoughts were hidden in her precious daughter, was still earnestly speaking, and then said: "With your difference, even if you don't fight or grab the emperor, you will never treat you badly, and the Lin family doesn't need it. What kind of glory are you going to win? You just need to correct your mentality and live your life well. My biggest wish as a father is that all three of you, siblings, can live a long and happy life in peace."

"There is one last point..." After a pause, Lin Ruhai suddenly became very serious, "Keep your heart firmly, don't love the king of God! You can respect him, but you must never love him! People in this world Regardless of men and women, if you fall into love, you will easily lose your mind, but in the harem, losing your mind and losing your mind is the taboo of taboos, it will push you into the abyss of eternal doom, and there will be no place to die! "

"Throughout history, there may indeed be some emperors who love beauty but not country, but as a father, I can guarantee that our emperor is definitely not one of them... Falling in love with an emperor is the greatest tragedy in a woman's life. For a father, I would rather You have never really loved in your life, and you never hope that one day you will see my favorite girl being driven crazy or even killed by so-called love."

Every word and every word is full of worries, and they are all full of love as a father.

Lin Shiyu couldn't help having a sore nose, almost crying.

"A daughter follows her father's teachings."

After watching her daughter's back disappear before her eyes, Lin Ruhai wiped the corners of her eyes quietly, "Come here, ask Jin'er to come here."

After a while, Lin Jinyu opened the door and walked in.

"Father looking for me?"

Lin Ruhai nodded, "Father has been very busy recently, and it's been a long time since I took your homework seriously..."

At the beginning, Lin Jinyu was confident in his answers, but as Lin Ruhai's questions became more and more profound, and even far exceeded his current progress, he was completely dumbfounded.

"Father... Father, I haven't learned that..."

Lin Ruhai's face was darkened, "You are eight years old and haven't learned yet? With such a snail's progress, do you plan to wait until your hair is gray before taking the imperial examination? I'm afraid that my father will never see you parading through the streets in this lifetime. It's the day to shine on the lintel!" After speaking, he sighed heavily, showing a look of loneliness and worry, "being a father is no longer young, how many more years can I last? Once I can't work as a father and retire to retirement... ... Who else can the Lin family rely on? Who else can your two older sisters rely on?"

Lin Jinyu lowered her head in shame with red eyes, and said in a low voice, "It's the son who is dull, and the son is useless... The son must work harder to get into high school as soon as possible to support the Lin family's burden and become the reliance of the sisters..."

"You are young, and you don't know much about some things. Once this woman is married, whether she is well received by her husband's family or not depends on the mother's family behind the woman. If her mother's family gains power, her waist will naturally fall You are tough, and no one in your husband's family dares to underestimate you. Otherwise, this day will be very sad, and you may have to suffer a lot of grievances. What's more, the person your eldest sister is going to marry is the current emperor, a concubine in the harem All of them come from famous families and their families are huge, just in this regard, your elder sister has already fallen behind."

"You are the only man in our Lin family up to this generation, which is far less than the luxuriant family with many brothers, so you have to work harder than others, and strive to make the whole family tied together less important than you, so Only then can you become the confidence of your sisters, and you can save the Lin family from the end...Jin'er has been smart and studious since she was a child, and as a father, I believe that if you think about it, you can do it, right?"

Which child has never dreamed of a heroic dream of "one man should be the gatekeeper, ten thousand men can't open it"?

Comparing other families with one's own power, becoming the savior of the Lin family, becoming the reliance of the sisters, whoever dares to commit crimes will be crushed to death with a finger, turning one's hands into clouds and hands into rain... so cool!

"I can!" Lin Jinyu clenched his fists tightly and said excitedly, "Father, don't worry, I can do it!"

Lin Ruhai immediately smiled gratifiedly, "Okay, okay, my Lin family has this unicorn!"

So, from this day on, Lin Jinyu began to study hard, with such desperate energy that in the eyes of others, he trembled inexplicably, and it hurt his only classmate Jia Lian even more.

Lin Daiyu was still muttering quietly, "This is being coaxed by my father again? How many times have I been coaxed since I was a child, how can I be sure that I can be coaxed?"

"Jin'er's cleverness is negligible in front of his father, and he guesses that studying with Cousin Lian will inevitably give him a sense of superiority. These days, the naked eye can see that he has slacked off, and it's okay to beat and beat. "But isn't this chicken blood beaten a bit too much?Why does it look like it's too excited?

Thinking about it, Lin Shiyu gave the kitchen an order to stew some supplements and send them to the study every day, so that the little young man would not suffer from working too hard.

At the same time, another high-profile Tong family is far less harmonious than the Lin family.

Although I have already got some gossip, my daughter may only be a concubine, but everything is still uncertain before the imperial decree, and the Tong family inevitably has a glimmer of hope and fantasy, and now the fact is really the case...

"Why? My Lan'er is not as good as her!" Hesheli was the first one who couldn't hold back his words, and said angrily, "Fortunately, they are still cousins, how can others crush Lan'er's head?" On? Our Tong family is the mother family of Empress Xiao Kangzhang, and now it is being compared to the Lin family. It is really ridiculous! Master, please open your eyes and take a good look, this is the nephew you support wholeheartedly! "

"Stop saying a few words!" Tong Guowei glared at her, and reprimanded: "Thunderstorms, rain and dew are all the favor of the king, but you still dare to speak wild words to complain about the Holy Majesty, I think you are crazy!"

The Hershey family was not afraid at all, and said with a sneer: "I don't believe that the master really has no dissatisfaction in his heart! What kind of family is our Tong family, and what is the Lin family? Even if it is equal, I am not happy. Well, not to mention that now he has made my Lan'er a bit shorter and inferior to others! It's simply too much to deceive! I think he is so obsessed with sex that he even forgot his mother!"

"Shut up!" Tong Guowei was so angry that his eyes were red, and he was panting heavily, but he never said anything to refute it. It can be seen that although he didn't say anything, the thoughts in his heart were the same as Hesher's. Richter is about the same.

Because his elder sister Empress Xiaokangzhang gave birth to a good son, the Tong family also soared and became one of the most prominent families in the Qing Dynasty, but this did not satisfy him. He hoped that his daughter could follow suit. Her aunt brought greater glory to the Tong family.

He had high hopes for this daughter, so he deliberately asked her to get along with Kangxi since she was a child, and cultivated a lot of feelings. In this way, coupled with that unique blood relationship, why not worry about not being able to soar into the sky in the future? ?But what he never expected was that Cheng Yaojin came out halfway.

Once the draft was lost to the Lin family from the very beginning, what about the future?Is there any hope of being able to surpass her and climb to the seat of imperial concubine or even empress?

Tong Guowei was also very uncertain. He glanced at his daughter and asked, "What does the girl from the Lin family look like? How is she compared to you?"

Tong Zhilan replied without thinking, "It's far better than me."

Immediately, Tong Guowei's heart sank suddenly.

As a man, he naturally understands what a man thinks very well. A woman's appearance has always been an important factor that cannot be ignored. If she is accompanied by a stunning beauty, any man will love her more.

"From this point of view, this daughter of the Lin family is really a huge obstacle..." Tong Guowei frowned, and pondered for a while with a gloomy face, before he said softly: "Our Tong family has some people available in the palace these years. It's better to take advantage of her unstable foundation and strike first, get rid of her..."

"No!" Tong Zhilan immediately retorted: "Cousin needs her..."

"You girl, don't be stupid!" Hershey poked her forehead rather resentfully, "My cousin knows your cousin every day! But your cousin has you in his heart." Why? How did he treat you without you seeing? In his heart, you are not as important as that girl from the Lin family! Listen to Er Niang's persuasion, even if it is not for the future of the Tong family, you must give her to you Get rid of it! She is the obstacle in front of us!"

Tong Zhilan's eyes turned red and she lowered her head.

Tong Guowei went on to say: "It doesn't matter if you don't believe the things that are talked about by gods and gods. Without her, the Qing Dynasty will perish or what? Ama knows that you are infatuated with your cousin, but you have to remember that you are the daughter of the Tong family first. , The glory of the Tong family is what you should engrave in your bones! Entering the palace to win the favor of the emperor, successfully giving birth to your elder brother and ascending to the next position, and finally getting to the position of your aunt is your task, it is your responsibility It is the innate responsibility of Tong's daughter that cannot be shirked!"

"You have to be clear, Ama didn't send you into the palace to make you sleep with your beloved cousin, but to entrust the glory of the Tong family on you. If you can't become Ama's pride If you can't bring the Tong family the glory it deserves, then Ama can only reluctantly give up on you, and your sister can completely replace you in a few years."

"Master?" The Hesheli family was stunned, and hurriedly pushed her daughter, "Hurry up and listen to your Ama! How can you live in the palace without the help of your family? Are you still naive? Do you think your cousin treats you well because he likes you? That’s just because you are the daughter of the Tong family! Because the entire Tong family stands behind you, so he must treat you well and pamper you. You are completely useless in his eyes, do you know? He won't even look at you again!"

The husband and wife coaxed and frightened, but Tong Zhilan kept her head down and said nothing, no one knew what was going on in her heart.

"Forget it, you can step back. I hope you can calm down and think about it these days... Don't forget who gave you all these years of glory, wealth, clothing, food and food, and don't disappoint Ama and your mother."

Tong Zhilan's frail body trembled slightly, and she bowed silently to leave.

After her figure left, the Hershey family looked at Tong Guowei, and said cautiously: "Master, Lan'er is still young, and it is inevitable that there are some irrelevant girlish feelings in her heart. When she grows up in two years, she will be a little girl." It's time to be sensible."

"Not only is she confused, but her heart is not hard enough." Tong Guowei shook his head, with a look of disappointment on his face, "It would be fine if she could recognize the facts and change in time after two years in the palace, I'm afraid... The second girl should also hurry up and educate her, just in case."

Hershey's face turned cold immediately.

The second girl was not born to her. A mere concubine who is not in the public eye still wants to take her daughter's seat?

He was so depressed, some dust fell on his face suddenly, Hesheli wiped it and looked up, and suddenly showed horror, "Master!"

"boom!"

"It's thundering?"

"Can't you? It's a beautiful sunny day..."

"Where did that sound come from?"

"It's bad, it's bad! The roof of the study has collapsed! The master and wife are buried inside!"

After being astonished, the servants rushed to the study in a hurry, and after a long while of pawing among the ruins, they finally pulled out Tong Guowei and Hesheli who had already been unconscious.

"How is it? Are master and madam still alive?"

"Bah, bah, what kind of bad words are you talking about? The master and wife are still out of breath, go to the imperial doctor!"

Fortunately, neither of the husband and wife's life is in danger, but both of them have injured their legs. They need to be well cared for, and they will not be able to move freely for at least three or four months.

However, it is a blessing in misfortune that the entire roof collapsed and was not hit on the head.

Everyone in the Tong family breathed a sigh of relief, but then again, why did the good roof suddenly collapse?For a big family like theirs, every house in the mansion has to be rebuilt every few years. It is impossible for such absurd things as houses that are too old or even cut corners to cause accidents. What?

After waking up, Tong Guowei, who fell into the conspiracy theory, ordered a strict investigation of the matter, but unexpectedly, after repeated investigations over and over again, there was no trace of clues, and there was no possibility of being tampered with.

This is strange.

Inexplicably, Tong Guowei thought of the daughter of the Lin family who had been talked about all the time, and shuddered suddenly.

What made him gnash his teeth even more, but there was nothing he could do was, because he had to recuperate for at least three or four months due to the injury, so he temporarily asked someone else to replace him as an internal minister. As for whether he can get it back after he recovers, that's up It's hard to say.

The emperor's attitude towards this matter made him a little uneasy.

Between the world of life, if the gap between the white horse is suddenly gone.

As if in the blink of an eye, another year passed by. Seeing that the day when Lin Shiyu was going to enter the palace was getting closer, the members of the Lin family seemed to be in an inexplicable anxiety.

Lin Daiyu pestered her sister day and night and refused to let her go. Even at night, she had to sleep under the quilt and hug her tightly, like a little tail, wishing she could follow her all the time.

"Sister, put me in a box as a dowry and bring me into the palace together."

"That's good, the two of us sisters will never have to be separated for the rest of our lives." Lin Shiyu smiled and pinched her little face, "When it comes to bringing it into the palace, I remembered it. It's time to play." Then he asked Lianyi to whisper a few words.

This matter is not difficult to deal with, in such a cold day right now, as long as you open the window at night while Madam Fu is asleep and let the wind blow for a while before closing it, you will surely have a runny nose the next day.

Sure enough, everything went smoothly.

Lin Shiyu also logically removed him from the list of entering the palace. As for whether he will be recalled to the palace by the empress dowager... in all likelihood, it will be possible, after all, it has been decades As for her confidant, but that's none of her business, as long as she doesn't take up her "dowry" quota.

No matter how reluctant I am, I even wish that time would stop there, but what should come still comes.

The guard of honor of the Ministry of Internal Affairs had already arrived outside the door, but the family of four inside the house were all crying like tears. Even Lin Ruhai, who was restrained and stable, couldn't stop crying like rain at this moment.

Looking at the eldest daughter who knelt in front of her and kowtowed to bid farewell, at this moment he really realized what it means to be "heart-wrenched like a knife", and opened his mouth to say something, but found that he was already sobbing.

Lin Daiyu's eyes turned into walnuts from crying, and she wished she could die from crying. Lin Jinyu, who usually puts the most emphasis on appearance, now has snot and tears all over his face, which is really horrible.

"After this farewell, it will be difficult to get together again in this life... I hope my father will cherish it... The unfilial daughter will bid farewell..."
