Daoist Lin sister [Red House]

In the imperial palace, in the imperial garden.

Dog days are so dry that people can't sleep, even if there are icebergs, it's useless.The empress was bored in the palace, so she ordered people to move the bamboo bed to the pavilion in the middle of the lake, where she could enjoy the shade while watching the scenery.

The gauze curtain was light, and a cool breeze blew over, the empress sighed comfortably.

"Have the people who invited Princess Gaoyang and Miss Lin come back?" the empress asked lazily.

Since returning from the paddock that day, the Empress has not seen Daiyu and Ying Miaoyang.If it wasn't for the lingering shadow of the rebellious case, the empress would have announced them into the palace long ago.

Coincidentally, Lin Ruhai also entered the palace today to have an audience with the emperor to discuss matters in the previous court.When the empress got the letter, she ordered someone to invite Daiyu.

"Eunuch Qian just set off to answer the Empress's words, and I'm afraid it will take a while!" The female officer who served the Empress stepped forward and replied.

"Really? Why does this Palace think that he has been away for a long time?" The empress thumped her head mockingly.

The female officer smiled and said: "It's not that you miss the Princess and Miss Lin so much."

"Speaking of which, Jia Nvshi is still Miss Lin's cousin. Hey—why don't you see Jia Nvshi?" The female officer asked in surprise after looking around, but she didn't see Jia Yuanchun.

Ai Wuji Wu, the queen empress has also attached great importance to Yuan Chun recently, and she is always with her, but when someone reminds her, she realizes that Yuan Chun has disappeared at some point.

It is a serious crime for someone who serves the master in the palace to disappear without warning.What's more, she is still the person next to the empress who is in charge of the sixth house, and she is catching up with this sensitive period.

The queen's face turned cold, "Come here, go and look for it, and see where Jia Nu Shi has gone."

Immediately a eunuch went to look for it.

By the way, where did Yuan Chun, who was named at this time, go?

It turned out that Yuan Chun was on his way to the imperial hospital to fetch medicine for the empress when he happened to hear the fourth prince talking with someone at the gate of the palace.

Yuan Chun kept an eye out and heard them say that the fourth prince was going for a walk in the imperial garden.After returning, he proposed to the empress to spend the summer in the garden.

On weekdays, the empress does not need Yuan Chun to serve her close by.As long as you go to the garden, you don't have to worry about not having a chance to meet the Fourth Prince.Yuan Chun made up his mind, and on the way to accompany the empress into the garden, he focused all his attention on the passers-by.

The hard work paid off, and Yuan Chun finally saw the profile faces of the four princes halfway up the mountain in the distance.

Yuan Chun gritted his teeth, remembering the message that his uncle Wang Ziteng sent to her, and ran to the side of the mountain in a flash while the people around the empress "set up camp" and set up bamboo beds.

Let's talk about the four princes, who have already grown up, left the palace to open a mansion, and became kings.Recently, the incident of Meng Xi's rebellion has caused panic among the people. Although the voice of the fourth prince's succession to the throne is not obvious, there is still a fight for it after all.He also heard that Lin Ruhai went to the palace to report back today, so he couldn't bear it any longer, and found a reason to enter the palace.

It's a pity that the emperor issued a strict order that no one else is allowed to enter the study and palace.The fourth prince had no choice but to turn to the imperial garden, pretending to be visiting the garden.

It was the praying mantis catching the cicada and the oriole behind, no one thought that Yuan Chun was still waiting behind!

The fourth prince was pretending to be watching the scenery, when he suddenly heard someone calling him from behind.

"The female Shi Jia in the empress's palace sees the fourth prince." Yuan Chun climbed halfway up the mountain in one breath, panting from exhaustion, stood still, took a long time to catch his breath, turned out from behind the rocks, and said with a bow.

The fourth prince was startled when he first heard the word empress, and turned around to see Yuan Chun alone.She still lowered her head, looking dignified and shy, her heart was replaced by shock, but she also knew how to measure, she took half a step back, and asked with her hands behind her back, "I don't know what Jia Nu Shi has taught you?"

Yuan Chun only mentioned Jia Shi, and the fourth prince saw her for the first time, and he didn't know her identity, so his attitude was alienated and alienated.

Yuan Chun thought of what she was going to say next, so he was cruel, and said straight to the point: "The minister is ashamed to be the granddaughter of Rong Guogong. She has been in the palace for many years and has achieved nothing. Today, I dare to throw away my life and wealth. I have something to say to you." Fourth Prince, listen."

As Yuan Chun said, he knelt down, but held his head high, a porcelain-white jade face, free of makeup, with natural carvings.

"Oh?" The fourth prince suddenly became interested. "It turns out to be the descendant of Duke Rong! My lord has also seen the demeanor of Duke Rong, but it's a pity—but, I don't know what important matter Jia Nvshi wants to tell this king?"

"It's a long story, the home of Yuan and the minister's daughter—" Yuan Chun just started talking.

"Jia Nvshi, Jia Nvshi..." A voice of moderate calling came.

It was the person sent by the empress to find Yuanchun.

Listening to that voice, the person coming is only three feet away.

Yuan Chun suddenly became anxious.

In the deep palace, meeting the prince privately, even if she had ten mouths, she couldn't tell.

Although the fourth prince was interested in Yuan Chun's life experience and what she had to say, Yuan Chun hadn't said what it was, and an uncertain piece of news was not worth his risk.

Before Yuan Chun got up from the ground, the fourth prince had already turned around behind the rock quickly, and even his entourage was gone in the blink of an eye.

When the eunuchs came to find him, they saw Yuan Chun standing by the side of the road sweating profusely with a peony in full bloom in his hand.

The leading eunuch looked around, he seemed to have seen some figure just now, but now he couldn't see it, feeling a little more dissatisfied with Yuan Chun in his heart.This girl usually seems to follow the rules, could it be that she has a big heart?

"Jia Nu Shi didn't serve the empress, why didn't she report it, she just ran up the mountain alone, it's easy for us to find!" the eunuch said while panting.

Yuan Chun hurried up to meet him, held the lead eunuch's arm, and said flatteringly, "Eunuch Liu has worked hard, but I'm ignorant. On the way here just now, I saw a peony blooming very beautifully on the top of the mountain. Thinking about it, the empress would definitely I like it, I saw that the Empress finally found a cool place, and she didn't dare to disturb her for a while, so she made her own claim and came to pick it alone, and troubled the father-in-law to find me! But the empress has something to order?" Yuan Chun said while talking Calmly, he took out a piece of silver ingot from his sleeve and stuffed it into Eunuch Liu's hand.

After Eunuch Liu took the ingot, his complexion became better. He glanced at Yuan Chun and said, "Isn't that right, the Empress is looking for you urgently. Miss Lin will be here soon, so hurry up and go back with us!"

But I was saying in my heart, if it wasn't for the face of your cousin Miss Lin, let alone this little money, even if I moved a golden mountain, I would make you look good, father-in-law!

On this side, Yuan Chun spent a lot of effort and only met the fourth prince, but before he could say a word, he rushed back.

After Yuan Chun and the others left, the fourth prince turned around from behind the rock, and said to the people around him, "Go and check the history of Jia Nu. Also, the Miss Lin that Liu Wang mentioned just now is the daughter of Lin Ruhai, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials?"

One of the entourages stepped forward and said: "It's likely to be true. Since that day..., after Miss Lin bravely rescued the Empress, she has completely won the Empress's favor. With the help of Princess Gaoyang, now the father and daughter of the Lin family People are empresses and former celebrities."

"My lord also heard that Miss Lin looks like a fairy?" The fourth prince rubbed his chin with great interest.

The attendants didn't answer.

The Fourth Prince flicked his sleeves suddenly, "Let's go, we can't ignore the bustle ahead, the ones in this garden are not to be missed."

……

On this side, Daiyu and Ying Miaoyang were guided by the eunuchs before they walked to the gazebo, when they heard laughter and joy coming from inside.

Daiyu looked around and saw several young girls surrounded by the Empress Empress, they looked very intimate, but she didn't recognize any of them.

Ying Miaoyang also opened her eyes, then turned her head and said to Daiyu in a low voice: "Sitting under the empress's hand is the eldest princess's daughter, Princess Minghui. The rest are her friends."

Daiyu nodded, and could tell from Ying Miaoyang's tone that this Minghui probably needed her extra attention.

At the other end, the empress was talking to Minghui, when she saw Eunuch Qian attracting someone from afar, she knew it was Daiyu and the others, and stood up to greet him.

Minghui blinked in surprise, covered her lips and said, "Yo, who knows who is the master who came here and was greeted by the empress in person?"

The empress patted Minghui's head dotingly, and said softly: "It's Princess Gaoyang and Lin Shilang's daughter, and they are my saviors!"

After all, Minghui is the eldest princess's daughter, and she knows what happened in the paddock. She curled her lips when she heard the words, and said disdainfully: "The empress is still good-natured, with so many guards protecting her, so why—"

"Ming Hui, don't talk nonsense!" The Empress suddenly turned cold, and reprimanded her in a low voice.

Coincidentally, when Daiyu and Ying Miaoyang walked up the steps, Minghui's words fell into their ears by coincidence.

Daiyu remained silent, but raised her head and smiled at the empress.

The bright Yaoguang of different colors makes all the flowers in the garden pale.

The smile on Minghui's lips froze to the self-proclaimed peerless beauty.

"My wife..."

"My daughter..."

Ying Miaoyang and Daiyu bowed one after the other and were about to salute, but they were stopped by the empress herself, "They are all from our own family, so why do we need such red tape!"

Minghui's face became even more ugly. After all, as a member of the royal family, she still gave the full salute when she came just now.

The queen empress greeted someone to give her a seat, and at the same time pulled Daiyu to sit on the lower right side of her, and wanted to echo with Minghui from left to right.

"Haven't you seen Yu'er yet? This is Princess Lanzhi's first daughter, Princess Minghui." The Empress introduced herself.

Daiyu stood up to greet Minghui.

Although the empress did not allow Daiyu to salute for the sake of face, Minghui was angry, but she was not prepared to let Daiyu go easily.

But, who would have thought that today the imperial garden is full of excitement.As soon as Daiyu got up on her side, Prince Xian and Princess Xian came over there.

Prince Xian complained of illness, but was broken by Lin Ruhai and Yang Yi with a stone, and Lin Ruhai closed the door with him and talked with him for a long time, "There is nothing in the first place".Prince Xian was persuaded for some reason, he had already opened the door of the mansion, and he even went to Lin Mansion twice with Yong Yu.

That is because the door of Prince Xian's mansion just opened, Yongyu ran away to Lin's mansion, and the matter of his order to Daiyu spread like wildfire.

A group of good girls who have long been secretly committed to Yongyufang can't sit still!Among them, Princess Minghui is one of the best.

She entered the palace this time to inquire about news.After all, if this year's draft hadn't been due to the reverse case, it would have started.

"Hey, it's a coincidence that the minister's wife came today. Miaoyang and Yu'er are both here. What, your wife and Mrs. Lin entered the palace at the same time?" Xianqin Wangfei teased.

Ying Miaoyang was not an ordinary woman, she would not have blushed because of this little joke, blinked her eyes, and asked back: "Put yourself and others, so the princess must have entered the palace with the prince."

In the capital city, no one knows which family does not know. Prince Xian and his wife have a deep relationship, and they can be said to be inseparable from Meng and Meng.

Princess Xian blushed first.Did she indeed enter the palace with Prince Xian, or did she ride in the same carriage!

The two of them were joking, and many girls in the gazebo blushed.

But it's not for her two words, just because Yongyu is standing upright (Yushu Linfeng) behind Princess Xian.

Minghui blushed first, her eyes fixed on Yongyu without blinking.I just felt that he was staring straight at him with a pair of peach blossom eyes, blushing with inexplicable embarrassment and heart beating, almost unable to sit still.

The other noble ladies were not much better.

On the surface, they dare not compete with Minghui, but in private, each of them has admired Yongyu for a long time.

At this moment, with your lover in front of you, why don't you be distracted?

Only Daiyu is still half-bent.But he also caught a glimpse of Yongyu's stiff appearance, remembering that he knew that he was going to enter the palace today, so he chased after him like this, and secretly rolled his eyes at him.

Yongyu's eyes were already glued to Daiyu's body, seeing her looking forward to her beautiful eyes, regardless of black and white, his heart was full of joy, he couldn't help curling the corners of his lips, and his canine teeth were exposed in a smile.

"Heh—" Everyone gasped in unison.

It is said that a beautiful woman can captivate a country with a smile, and a young master like Zhilan is better than Yushu!

Not only Minghui and the others, but even the middle-aged empress felt that Yongyu's smile was worth a few states.

Daiyu looked at the almost overwhelmed expressions of the ladies around her, couldn't help herself, tilted her head, and took a closer look at Yongyu—these people are so rare and strange!Meng Plaster clearly smiled like a fool, how could my father look better?

Lin Ruhai, who was inexplicably praised, was obediently lowering her head in the South Study Room, waiting for the emperor to review the memorial.

Suddenly felt that the tip of the nose was itchy, Lin Ruhai lowered his head even more for fear of losing his dignity, quietly covered it with his sleeve, and rubbed his nose with his hands hidden inside.

The emperor looked down from the throne, and saw Lin Ruhai crying!

"What's wrong with Aiqing?" The emperor asked with concern.

"Ah, minister—" Lin Ruhai hurriedly lowered his hands, put on that respectful expression again, and said solemnly, "I have an itchy nose."

"Pfft!" Prince Xian, who was drinking tea at the side, barely managed to spit out all the tea in his mouth.

The emperor, who was dazzled by reading the memorial, felt for the first time that his family's Aiqing was a little dishonest?Could it be that birds of a feather really flock together and were led away by Yong Yu and his son?

"It's said in Ai Qing's memorial, after investigation, many people have nothing to do with Meng Xi's rebellion. But the truth?" The emperor suddenly asked with a straight face.

Lin Ruhai also restrained his expression, and bowed back seriously: "Everything I said is true, and there are clear evidences. As for the insinuations of others, although it is difficult to argue one by one, I have found circumstantial evidence to refute."

"Furthermore, I believe that the traitor Meng Xi's conspiracy is a secret and important matter, and he will not reveal it to others easily. Moreover, before he acted, he was a prince personally appointed by the Holy Majesty, and he was also named as the eldest grandson. Others walked closer to him, or had contacts. , It’s a matter of reason. Because of the rumors, everyone in the capital is in panic, and the inner city is almost empty. Wouldn’t it be a betrayal of the original intention of the saint’s benevolence, virtue and generosity?” Lin Ruhai talked eloquently.

"Then what do you think?" the emperor looked at Lin Ruhai and asked slowly.

"Punish the rebellious party, reward the loyal, and Qixi Festival is coming soon, let's have a big banquet for all the ministers, and enjoy the joy of the whole country, so as to show the prosperity of our prosperous age!" Lin Ruhai said loudly.

The emperor clapped his hands and said with a smile: "What a prosperous and prosperous world!"

Prince Xian sat at the bottom, nodded with a smile on his face, but his palms under the table were covered with sweat.

The emperor made it clear that he wanted to clean up to pave the way for the princes, so all the families in the capital were terrified.Even he was afraid of being implicated and avoided it.But Lin Ruhai dared to take such a big shame, he couldn't help being surprised and admired, loved and afraid!

But judging from the emperor's current expression, it seems that Lin Ruhai has hit the right side?Prince Xian just breathed a sigh of relief, but the emperor continued to ask: "According to Aiqing, the two houses of Ningrong and Rong are originally accomplices against the party, and they secretly hid Meng Xi's family, but Jia Rong reported the letter, so they should be considered against the party." Is it a loyal minister?"

The words are divided into two parts, and let's talk about the empress.Now that Princess Xian has arrived, the position around the Empress has changed again.

Before Minghui could enjoy Daiyu's ceremony, she hurried down to greet Xianqin and Princess Xian in person.When passing by Yongyu, he couldn't help calling out in a low voice: "Brother Yu~"

It's a pity that Yongyu's soul has already left his body, so he didn't hear it at all.

But Minghui was not annoyed, she was tired of being around Xianqin Wangfei and wanted to act like a baby.

Princess Xian also likes Minghui's beautiful face, but at the moment she and Daiyu are in the same place, Daiyu's appearance is unparalleled, the comparison between the two sides makes the judgment clear.Not to mention Minghui's temperament is still delicate and savage, and the princess's temper has come up, even her mother, the eldest princess, can't stand it.

Therefore, even though Princess Xian is dealing with Minghui, her eyes are still the same as Yongyu's, never leaving Daiyu's body.

Seeing more and more people coming, Daiyu retreated to stand behind Ying Miaoyang.

Everyone sit down again.

Yongyu sat on the left side of the empress's head, and Minghui took the place on the right where Daiyu used to sit.

Seeing this, Yongyu was about to speak, but was stopped by Prince Xian and Princess Xian who patted the back of his hand.

"I haven't seen the princess for a long time. Minghui was very worried when she heard that Prince Xian was ill, but she couldn't see her. I wonder if the prince is better now?" Minghui said without waiting for the empress to ask.

Princess Xian smiled, "Princess Minghui has a heart. The prince is already in much better health." After finishing speaking, Princess Xian turned to the Empress and said, "But Empress, I haven't seen you for a long time, have you ever recovered? "

The empress was quite frightened in the paddock, Yemeng also often had convulsions recently, but she never told anyone.Hearing Prince Xian's question at this moment, I was full of worries in my heart, and nodded with a wry smile, "That's good, there are always some things I can't forget."

After hearing the words, Princess Xian persuaded her and said: "It is true that such a thrilling experience cannot be easily forgotten. It's just that the empress and phoenix body are important, the past is over, and there will be future blessings after the catastrophe. Empress, please relax!"

"Yes!" Ying Miaoyang, who had been silent all this time, also interjected, "The Qixi Festival will be here soon, and this year's begging will have to be done by the Empress herself!"

Hearing about Qixi Festival, the empress's face faded a lot, and she smiled slightly: "Exactly, this palace has been quiet for a long time, so there should be a happy event, lively and lively."

Minghui was beside her, and when she heard about the Qixi Festival, the first thing on her mind was not begging for a coincidence, but, "It is said that the Qixi Festival is when the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl meet on the magpie bridge. In previous years, there was a feast of flowers in the palace to commemorate it, but this year—" As he spoke, his eyes drifted towards Yongyu, he lowered his head with a shy smile, and continued, "I wonder if brother Yu will give away the palace flower this year?"

When this statement came out, the whole audience was shocked.

The Hundred Flowers Banquet is an old custom in the palace, which means the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl Magpie Bridge Festival. It imitates the folk red thread to get married, and replaces the red thread with various palace flowers.At the banquet, the young princes and noble ladies of each family do not need to shy away from it, they can walk around freely, and when they meet someone they like, they can present the palace flower to the other party.

If the other party also has this intention, they will accept the flowers.At the climax of the banquet, men and women who are interested in each other can play piano music together, sing dance music in harmony, or present calligraphy and paintings... In short, they can express their mutual understanding.Talented scholars and beautiful ladies are also a good story.

As for the final success or failure, it depends on the wishes of the two parents.

However, those who exchange palace flowers at the Hundred Flowers Banquet are usually the parents of the two families who have long been interested in each other, and they borrowed the Hundred Flowers Banquet to ask the Empress for grace.

However, in these years, Yongyu has also participated in the Hundred Flowers Banquet several times, not only did he never send flowers out, he never even ended up.

Once upon a time, there was a brave girl who passed the palace flower to Yong Yu openly, facing the eyes of everyone, passing through layers of onlookers.

But Yongyu picked up the wine glass and poured it on himself.In the end, he left the venue early on the grounds that his clothes were wet and his appearance was out of order.

But, just like that, in the second year, there were still a lot of girls who gave flowers to Yongyu.His clothes got wet, and a servant immediately brought new ones.Even though his clothes were wet several times, he didn't escape when he arrived.He could only flick his sleeves with a black face, in exchange for a moment of peace.

As a result, Yong Yu never participated in the Hundred Flowers Banquet again.

Minghui is a few years younger than Yongyu, so naturally he didn't catch up with Yongyu when he went to the banquet, and he was always resentful in his heart. He just felt that those girls were shameless and annoyed her brother Yu, leaving her nowhere to show her feelings. Chance.

At this moment, Ying Miaoyang took the initiative to bring up the Qixi Festival banquet, which immediately reminded her of the Hundred Flowers Banquet that she had been brooding over for many years, so she asked directly without embarrassment.

But I don't know that it is in the eyes of others that she asks this sentence regardless of the occasion.It was clearly the young girl who couldn't hold back her thoughts and feelings, and was in a hurry to confess her feelings.

No one knows a son better than a mother, the virtuous princess knows Yongyu's temper best.I have long been tired of girls rushing one after another, moths to the flame, even to the point of landing at one o'clock.After all, Minghui is the eldest princess's daughter, so she doesn't look at the monk's face and the Buddha's face, for fear that Yongyu will be annoyed and make a fuss on the spot, which will make the empress empress look bad.

Princess Xian held Yongyu down, and hurriedly said: "Yu'er is still young, and this year..."

"My mother was wrong. When my father was my age, he was already married to my mother. How can I be so young!" Yongyu puffed out his chest to show his maturity.

"Moreover, this year, this year, not only will I participate in the Hundred Flowers Banquet, but I will also give away the palace flowers!" When the word "give someone away" was mentioned, Yongyu's eyes were red, naked, and naked on Daiyu's face. .

The implication is clearly that he begged Daiyu to ask for the mercy of the beautiful woman.

Others looked at Daiyu with surprise and envy.

Only Daiyu, ignorant of what she meant, looked around in amazement—what kind of feast of flowers?What palace flower?Did Aunt Xue, who was sent by Zhou Rui's family, bring the palace flowers for use?

No wonder Daiyu didn't know about it. Although she was in the capital in her previous life, she lived in the Rongguo Mansion.

But Yongyu didn't know that Daiyu didn't understand. Seeing her expression, he thought that the goddess was ruthless, and his heart was inevitably sad.

Ying Miaoyang expected that Daiyu probably had never heard of the Hundred Flowers Banquet, so she just wanted to explain to her in a low voice.

Suddenly Minghui was beside him, and he said coldly: "Miss Lin, I'm afraid she doesn't have to attend the Hundred Flowers Banquet? Didn't Brother Bao, who was born in the title of jade in your maternal ancestor's family, recognize you a long time ago?"

The author has something to say: I... originally wanted to hold back a big move, and then waited for three days to publish a chapter!Sorry, everyone!

Everyone else is an octopus, but I am One Finger Zen.
