[Red Mansion] Queen's Road

The emperor returned to the harem with a gloomy face, and saw that the lights had started to be turned on everywhere.

Inside the Ganlu Hall, the queen was crackling and calculating, and the two sons were playing around in the hall.

A few days ago, I just watched a play presented by the Shengping Department called Havoc in Heaven.Qilin held a stick and played vigorously at the entrance of the hall.Bai Ze was still holding his brother's stinky feet foolishly.Jumping and jumping and shouting, it is impossible to tell that his brother is just playing around, and he doesn't know how to use a stick.

When the two brothers saw their father coming back, the elder brother threw the stick to the side and rushed up. Bai Ze was not slow and hugged the other leg.

The older one began to ask, "Why did the father come back? We were still waiting for the father to eat. Just now, Bai Ze's hungry stomach was growling. I secretly fed him a piece of snack."

Bai Ze could only hug his legs, and kept repeating "hug my father, hug me, my father..."

The emperor bent down and clamped the two sons, one on the left and the other on the right, under his arms. The two little things shouted and screamed excitedly, and the sound could be heard for two miles, so Linlin had to stop making plans. , wrote down a number, stood up and greeted him.

After the two brats were taken down by the maid to wash their hands, the emperor looked at the abacus and asked Linlin unhappily, "Why do you start worrying about these things again? Didn't the imperial doctor tell you to keep them this month?"

"The imperial doctor has been here for the past two days and said that I should also come down and walk around properly. I thought that my head would rust if I didn't use it, so I found something for myself to do. Besides, this matter can't be postponed anymore... The emperor sent people three times a day to ask when the garden would be completed, and the old man also specified how many palaces, lakes, and rare animals to raise..."

The emperor was a little annoyed when he heard this, "He thinks beautifully, but he doesn't think about where the money comes from?"

"I'm afraid that you will rush to the back to fight with him again... Let's spend money to buy a quiet place. It's still the same as before, the garden will be ours in the future, and it's okay to build it now."

"How much did it cost now?"

"You won't believe it if you say it. Counting everything, we have already spent more than 400 million taels of silver. I think it is enough. I sent Mantun to have a look. Mantun came back and told me that it was simply It’s like a fairyland in the sky.”

"Is there any dissatisfaction with the old man... 400 million silver... Did you count the stone, bricks and tiles and the rice for the craftsmen? You can't really pay so much money, right?"

"No, rice and grain are not counted. Others are counted. I have people burn bricks nearby. Although the stone materials are transported from the south of the Yangtze River, they are transported by water and our boats are used. There is no so-called It was a waste of time and money, and it only affected our family's delivery. The money that was invested in it was only 60 taels. The money spent here was more about buying some paints and paying wages."

"Where did you find the pillars in the palace?"

"The timber from Nanyang is bundled into rafts with ropes and dragged behind the ship. The trouble is how to transport it on the ground. It really consumes countless manpower and material resources. Just transporting these timbers is given to those trackers. The manpower is 8 taels. Think about how much manpower was used in it. Fortunately, people don't know that this garden was built by our family. They just think it is a rich businessman in the capital, otherwise those imperial officials would have sprayed on you. "

The emperor thought for a while, and suddenly had an idea.

"I ran into Lin Hao today, and he squeaked and wanted to apologize for you. Thinking about the good relationship between your siblings and the fact that you haven't seen your father-in-law for so many years, have you ever thought about going back to your mother's house? Once a relative? Let your father-in-law build a big garden to pick you up..."

Linlin thought, wouldn't this be just letting her go back to visit her relatives?I quickly calculated my natal family's wealth in my heart, and felt that I couldn't afford it.

"I'm so busy every day, I can't get rid of this mess in the palace, what are you doing when you go back to your natal family, besides, if I miss people from my natal family, call my mother and my sister in and say a few words enough."

Linlin looked at his expression carefully, and after thinking about it, she still told the truth, "When we two got married, we turned all the troubled people in our house on their backs. There are several streets. I ran all over the capital to find people to borrow tables and benches. There are so many people in my guard of honor. If I go back this time, I guess I will ask my brother to run to borrow tables and benches. So I don’t want to go back.”

It's not that I don't want to go back to my mother's house, but I can't afford to go back to my mother's house once.

"I have to make a good calculation of this matter... I heard that outsiders often send you some proposals. You can show me a copy. By the way, you can tell us how many bricks our brick kiln can burn, and how many bricks our quarry can produce. Let me count as many stones as possible. Since repairing the garden costs so much money, we can repair it together."

Linlin understood completely, "You just want them to repair the garden, and it's exhausting the money at home, right?"

"That's what I think, and whether it's bricks or stones, or other things, as long as it's related to gardening, how much money you earn will be sent to the treasury at that time."

"Why? Doesn't it take manpower and material resources for us to transport stones? Doesn't it take manpower and material resources to burn bricks and tiles? It is even more dangerous when quarrying stones, especially those artisans who quarry stones. Their wages are more generous... Don't we make money?"

I am earning money based on my ability, why should I take that money out.

The emperor pressed Linlin's two hands, "Since you want to do the math, then I will do the math with you. Where did the stone come from?"

"In the mountains."

"Then tell me whose mountain is the mountain? Every plant and tree in the world belongs to me. You dug rocks from my mountain, so why don't you want to give me the money?"

"You are lying. When I bought the stone mountain, I gave money to the government."

"Have I seen the money? Besides, don't be so clear about whether you can do it inside or outside. This country belongs to me, and in the future, this beautiful country will also belong to your son. After you earn so much money, do you have to share it with me?" Your sons, what you give now is the same as what you will give in the future."

Linlin still wanted to talk, but the emperor bowed his head and kissed him, "Good boy, stop talking."

Linlin thought that you couldn't use the beauty trick, but the two devil kings she gave birth to had already entered the house, and the two boys ran over without shame, "Mother, stepmother, stepmother, son also want to kiss." "Mother and queen Mother, kiss me first."

Linlin got a headache from the quarrel between the two boys, rubbed her temples, kissed the foreheads of each of the two sons, and shouted before the two kisses came back, "Eat, eat, don't talk, eat first."

After dinner, the emperor went to work overtime. As for where he went to fool around after overtime, it was not Linlin's business.

Anyway, on the second day, Qian Sheng hurried over, holding a piece of paper and carefully handing it to Linlin.

"Our emperor said that you should first hoard things according to the above quantity. When the time is enough, things will happen naturally."

Even if Linlin was dissatisfied that the money ended up in the treasury, she could only work seriously after getting this piece of paper.

After three days, a plan was given to the emperor, listing everything from where the warehouse would be placed to the one-year production capacity of the brick kiln, and a thick stack was handed over to the emperor.

The emperor held the plan and read it for three days before he completed what he had planned.

After discussing with the emperor, Linlin decided to call Jia Min to the palace to clear up the matter.

"My father, you have to persuade him." Linlin couldn't tell Jia Min that this was a crooked trick that the emperor came up with to get those people to pay back the money. She could only tell Jia Min, "It's not easy for these concubines in the palace. So let them go back to their mother's house.

Because this matter has never happened in ancient times, there may be many people who object to it. Because my father is the head of the emperor, someone may pull my father to join the performance. You just let my father hide and don't worry about it. Well, if some other palace is built at that time, I won't let the people in my family suffer. I will send someone to repair it at that time, and you just need to make room for it. "

"Just like what your lady said, this is something that has never happened in ancient times. This is also a virtuous government..." Jia Min opened his mouth and praised the emperor. What can I say, the courtyard of the empress is still kept in the house, or else the courtyard will be pushed away, and several nearby courtyards will be opened up, and it will be built in that place."

Linlin shook her head, "If you want to build it, build a big one. Even if your descendants are unworthy in the future, just selling this yard will be enough for them to eat for a while."

Jia Min felt that Linlin's words were a bit unlucky, but she didn't say anything, she just said to go back and discuss with grandpa to see where the building is suitable.

"However, this matter has not been disclosed until now, and our family has also shut their mouths."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, people in our family are not the kind of people who love vanity, and they won't shout everywhere. Just don't worry, your Majesty."

Although people outside the palace did not know the news, most people inside the palace knew it.

Especially these concubines in the harem.They want this to happen more than anyone.

After the news spread, many people were secretly thinking about their natal family's family background. If the family background is weak, they are already secretly worried.

Jia Yuanchun was rather confident in her family, and her first concern was not building a garden.It's about when she can go to meet the queen with the other concubines.

Although I was not happy seeing that slut the queen, but I have been pinned down by her in Zaofengzao Palace for several months.

At the beginning, I didn't let myself go, the reason was that the position had not been determined yet, so it was not easy to rank.Now that everyone in the palace knows the news that she has been conferred the title of noble concubine, they still don't let her go because the reason is that it is even worse to rank up if she has not been formally conferred!

"Cinnamon sticks."

Guizhi came in response, "Your Majesty, please tell me."

"Go and ask the eunuchs in the imperial study to see if the imperial decree to confer on the palace has been written?"

Guizhi was a little embarrassed, "Mother, we ladies in the harem cannot go to the front without the order of the empress."

"Won't you go quietly?"

"But those gatekeepers won't let the servants go."

"Give them some money, when the time comes..."

"Your Majesty, money is not easy to use now."

The emperor has been running to the Ganlu Hall more frequently in the past few months.

There are 30 days in a month, and 20 days are spent in the Empress's Ganlu Hall.Many concubines secretly pulled their veils, guessing that the two couples face each other day and night, so they have something to say.

Concubine Hu coaxed her son to speak, "You go to pay your respects to the empress, have you seen your father?"

The third prince was eating, and his face was covered with food. After listening to it, he thought for a while and nodded.

"Have you spoken to your father?"

The emperor asked himself if he was full?

The third prince nodded.

Concubine Hu touched her son's little head, feeling extremely relieved. "Good son, do you know what the empress and your father said?"

This question was a bit difficult for the third prince, he put the spoon in his mouth, thought for a while and shook his head.

Concubine Hu's eldest maid hurriedly wiped the third prince's face with a handkerchief.

"These princes and princesses have been playing together after they left. The empress can't find anything if she asks such a question. Maybe there is other news from the empress Dong Fei. She has been diligent in going to the empress empress in recent days."

"What's the use of going diligently? The emperor still doesn't give her a second look. Even if there is really a family visit this time...it's hard to say, she is old, and Concubine Dong's natal family is thinking about how to hug the emperor's thigh. , with such an opportunity, both hands and feet are definitely in favor.”

"Even if the concubine Dong is in this palace, you should be the No. 1 concubine among the concubines, otherwise you will go tomorrow..."

Concubine Hu quickly shook her hand, "Don't say that, you will scare me to death. Seeing Huang Guiren's fate, no one dares to be the number one. I am worse than that grand lady in front of the empress, She doesn't even look at me directly, so she may not be willing to tell me the truth."

"Don't worry, you are not the only one who is anxious. Which of the women in the harem is not in a hurry, especially the one from Fengzao Palace. After waiting for such a long time, I haven't waited for the imperial decree to be conferred. Seeing the two sisters The two have turned against each other..."

Concubine Hu scolded her eldest maid in a low voice, "If I dare to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, the emperor will be the first to spare me."

Whether people fight or not is their business, as long as you are in front of the quail.Now there are four princes in the palace, two of them were born by the empress, the emperor's favorite is the son of the first son, and the faster the bastard moves, the more it annoys him.

The emperor who ran to the Ganlu Hall every day was also discussing the concubines in the harem with the queen.

"Concubine Hu's grandfather was the Minister of the Ministry of Officials... Their family also borrowed money, 20 yuan." The emperor drew with a brush.

Linlin rubbed her stomach and quickly stuffed a grape into her mouth. "I can see that your harem is full of girls from your father's family."

"There are also a few nobles who are not." The emperor argued for a while, and then thought about it, those few nobles are now low-ranking and have little impact on the overall situation, so he sighed, "If it weren't for the fact that these concubines have borrowed money from their families, I Haven't figured out such a way yet.

I sorted out their relationship. They can't build this garden by themselves, they have to borrow money from other people.As for how to repay the borrowed money, that is their own business, and has nothing to do with my concubines and children. "

Linlin nodded, this is good news for Linlin.The son's future opponents are his brothers. If his brothers' nieces are all bankrupt-then the difficulty of clearing the level will be much lower.

It's just that I don't know if the heirs cultivated in this way have combat effectiveness?

The emperor also grabbed a grape, stuffed it into his mouth, and found his teeth were sour, so he quickly spit it out.

"It's so sour, how can you eat it?"

"Sour girl, do you think this little thing in my stomach is a man or a woman? I want a princess."

"I'll know if it's a son or a daughter after birth. My cheeks are so sore that I haven't recovered right now." The emperor took a sip of water and rinsed his mouth. Sir, I heard that your second uncle is about to pass his birthday, what will happen if you say that I pass the imperial decree on his birthday and make his daughter a concubine?"

"The whole family would go crazy with joy."

"That's enough, everything is ready, it's only due to Dongfeng, but let your uncle show up and let their family take the lead." Standing up and stretching, "Don't sit still, it's getting late, let's rest."

Linlin put her hand in his and was pulled up by him, and the two walked side by side to the bedroom.

On the day of Jia Zheng's birthday, many relatives and friends came down. The habit of Jia's house is to have a meal when there is nothing to do, and to have a big meal when there is something to do.

This time the birthday banquet was full of guests in Ningrong and Rongfu.The housekeepers who got the face of the family also came to the table, drunk, and when they were drunk, someone suddenly ran in, "Master, there are angels from the palace to announce the decree."

"Quickly open the middle door to welcome you."

When the news reached the backyard, the old lady and Mrs. Wang glanced at each other quickly. The Rongguo Mansion had not received an imperial edict for many years, and the errands received by the males in the family now are not the kind of things that can receive an imperial edict. errands.

"Old lady, could it be that my Yuanchun has finally come to the fore?"

Mrs. Wang wept with joy, and after a while the person in front came to pass a message, "The angel didn't hold the decree, but just ordered our master to go to the palace."

As the old lady gets older, she experiences more things and thinks more in her heart. It may be a good thing, but it may also be a bad thing.Secretly, I still hope that the concubine will be named in Yuanchun... Why is it that the concubine is not an official from the Ministry of Rites with an imperial decree?

It's just that Min'er is not here today, or else just ask her.She is not coming as a daughter for her own birthday. Many people asked about it just now. The old lady used the excuse that the uncle is not in good health. It seems that I need to send someone to see tomorrow.

The members of Jia's family were all nervously waiting in the yard, and the steward of the family rode horses to spread the news in the palace and the mansion.

After a while, as expected, Lai Da ran in to announce the good news, "...the slave didn't see the master, but heard the inner minister in the palace come out and say that our eldest lady has made a concubine, and let the old lady and the family members enter the palace to thank you."

Mrs. Wang immediately straightened her waist, feeling a sense of elation.The family was even more joyful, and on this day of great joy, everyone was a little bit crazy.

The old lady even forgot the dissatisfaction that her daughter didn't come, and didn't care about why there was no imperial edict for the concubine. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law hurriedly put on court clothes, got on a sedan chair and went to the gate of the palace.

After entering the palace, you have to meet the two empress dowagers first, and the Eastern empress dowager received them warmly. On the way, you met the noble concubine. The noble concubine is a girl from the Zhen family, and Jia Yuanchun entered the palace through her. Yu Yu couldn't help but talk for a while, the time dragged on for a long time, and it was already past noon when he arrived at the gate of the Queen Mother's palace.

The Empress Dowager West heard the people from Jia's family begging to see her, but said she didn't see her.The Empress Dowager West has a bit of inferiority and sensitivity, just now I heard that people from the Jia family were talking and laughing with the Concubine Gui, but now she came to visit her after noon, she still underestimated herself.

At this time, she was sitting by the couch watching her two grandchildren sleeping.The weather is getting hotter, the days are longer than the nights, and the children start to take a nap. While sleeping, Bai Ze dishonestly put his legs on the unicorn. Take it from Qilin.After sitting down, he continued to fan the two brothers.

The maids are also happy to keep the queen mother from seeing people.In my heart, I complained about who they were. After chatting with a noble concubine for so long, I was delayed in paying my respects to the queen mother, so I felt embarrassed to come now.

After confirming that the Empress Dowager Xi did not want to see anyone, she went out and said to the Jia family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, "The Empress Dowager ordered me to avoid seeing you, everyone, please go back."

The old lady and Mrs. Wang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other, and had no choice but to kowtow at the palace gate before going to the Ganlu Hall together.

Linlin didn't want to do anything wrong, so she asked the eunuchs to wait near the Ganlu Hall, and when they saw their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, they rushed in.

When their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came in, they were not allowed to bow down, but directly offered a cup of tea.

"Grandma, try it. I don't usually drink tea, so I don't know how it tastes."

"Your Majesty, the tea here is naturally good."

"If your old man likes it, I'll wrap it up for you later and take it away. I won't be able to drink it if I leave it here." After speaking, Bai Niu went to fetch a porcelain pot and handed it to a maid named Yuanyang. The eunuch next to me wrote down this matter, and quickly told the steward of the House of Internal Affairs that the steward had to write down that on a certain day in a certain year, the empress rewarded Jia Shishi, the old matriarch of the Rongguo Mansion, with a can of tea weighing two taels.

Seeing that Mrs. Wang was restless here, Linlin didn't stop them, "I know you two want to go to Fengzao Palace right now, so I won't stay any longer. I'll send someone to guide you two, go early Well, the palace gate will be closed at sunset."

Going to see Jia Yuanchun was indeed an important matter for their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, so they didn't refuse, stood up and thanked, and then left with a young eunuch.

There were so many people in the palace with mixed eyes and so many ears that the two of them couldn't whisper to each other. As for what was going on in their hearts, only he knew. When he walked all the way to Fengzao Palace, he saw Jia Yuanchun waiting at the gate of the palace, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Quickly quicken the pace.

When they arrived at the main hall, Guizhi brought out two bowls of tea, and the old lady finally discovered the first thing that was wrong.

"Where is Baoqin?"

Jia Yuanchun almost forgot to hold the piano for more than half a year, and after hearing it, his face just changed, "That girl is unlucky, I just became a noble concubine in this palace, she went to bring me face wash, who knows The water was too hot, poured into the sleeve and burned an arm, after moving out for a few days, the fever disappeared, it happened that the old lady and the wife are here today, if there is any clever girl in the house, send me another one."

Mrs. Wang couldn't help it anymore, "She is the maid of honor next to the empress, when is it her turn to do things like serving washing water?"

Only at this time did Jia Yuanchun feel sad, "When she was young, she was the one who did this kind of rough and clumsy work. Presumably she hadn't learned how to be a court lady before she encountered this kind of thing."

I didn't want people in my family to know how miserable I was living here, so I quickly changed the subject, "Everything is fine now, I have become a noble concubine, No.1 under the empress, I finally made it through."

Mrs. Wang was also filled with emotions when she heard this, and quickly took her daughter's hand, "Now that I have become a high-ranking concubine, the most important thing is to quickly raise a prince."

Jia Yuanchun wondered how he could raise a prince since he hadn't seen the emperor for half a year.

Mrs. Wang was still chattering there, "Your Majesty, take care of yourself. If you don't have enough money, just send me a message. The Queen's Majesty is older than you, and her stomach is so high now. It can be seen that she has a chance, and so does your Majesty."

Jia Yuanchun also knew that he must rely on his children to gain a foothold in the harem, so he nodded, "Don't worry, I know how important things are here."

Mrs. Wang wanted to open her mouth again, the old lady coughed, and Gui Zhi came in. Mrs. Wang thought to herself, this is not her own girl, so people can't be reassured, it's better to find a way to send another one in.

Linlin's birthday was in autumn, more than a month later than the old lady in Jia's house. Two days before her birthday, she felt a little pain in her stomach.

Linlin has a lot of experience in giving birth.He sent someone to inform the emperor and the queen mother quickly, and he walked around the room several times while holding the maid's hand, and finally walked from the palace to the delivery room, lay down calmly, and waited for the child to be born.

Ever since Linlin had a quarrel with the emperor, the Empress Dowager Xi was more or less displeased when she saw Linlin, and Linlin usually didn't go to her.He only sent his two sons to say hello to him.The daily filial piety is uninterrupted. If there is something to think about the old lady in advance, seeing that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law can be eased, the emperor insists on intervening in it, and apologizes to the old lady in private for his wife.

As a result, the queen mother began to feel awkward again.

He has been awkward until now, when he heard that Linlin was about to give birth, he hurriedly took the two grandchildren to his side, and sent the capable maids and eunuchs around him to inquire about the news from the queen.

The birth of the third son went smoothly, but it is a pity that he is still a brat.

Linlin was both happy and disappointed. She was happy that her son was still very strong, but she was disappointed when she would be able to give birth to a daughter.

When Jia Min rushed over from home, Linlin had already given birth, sat there, drank a bowl of ginseng soup, held her son in her arms and looked at it again and again.

Seeing this ugly little grandson, Jia Min couldn't help saying to Linlin with a little pride, "He is a filial child, and he came out without making your mother suffer."

The only thing that makes Linlin satisfied is confinement at this time. Confinement is the most comfortable at this time, neither hot nor cold.

Even so, the smell of the delivery room is still not good.Especially Qilin brought Bai Ze to see his younger brother, and was so smelled by the smell in the room that he ran out holding his nose.No matter how the maid coaxed them, the two brothers did not plan to enter the confinement room again.

"When can Zou Wu come out to play?" Bai Ze asked Qilin.

Linlin named her third son Zou Wu. It is said that this is also a kind of benevolent beast. He will wait for the prey to die before eating. According to the Shan Hai Jing, this kind of animal looks "as big as a tiger, full of colors." ".In Linlin's imagination, this is a beautiful big cat with a kind heart.

As for the two younger brothers outside the bedroom, Qilin, who is the older brother, recalled what happened to Bai Ze when he was a child. Although it was vague and unreal, he still remembered a little bit, "I guess he will come out after he will run away."

"Then he is very unlucky to smell the stench for a long time."

When the two brothers thought about it, they immediately felt infinite sympathy for the little brother.

Because of his sympathy for his younger brother, Bai Ze ran back and took two of his cloth tigers and gave them to Zou Wu. This behavior made the emperor very happy, and he praised Bai Ze emphatically, and gave a lot of rewards to the two brothers.

I don't know if he is addicted to sending rewards. The emperor found out that the queen had given birth to three sons and hadn't rewarded the Lin family once until now.

Immediately with a big wave of his hand, taking advantage of Zou Wu's birth, he rewarded Lin Ruhai once.

Linlin only controlled the emperor's rewards to those concubines, but did not control the emperor's rewards to his sons and daughters and the ministers outside.

Although she is in confinement, Linlin is very clear about what the Ministry of Internal Affairs has taken away.

On the day of Linlin's birthday, Lin Ruhai and his family knelt down to thank God.

After seeing the eunuch passing the decree left, Lin Ruhai felt relieved, "After raising three sons, the empress's status is stable no matter what, the next time my wife enters the palace, I will persuade her to think twice about everything." .”

He asked Jia Min again, "Is everything ready?"

"It's all ready. I have seen with my own eyes the little quilts and mattresses our embroiderers sewed, and the little clothes they made. Every piece is soft, and there are many gold and silver long-life lock collars. The three brothers The patterns are different, and the empress will be delighted to see these things."

"Tomorrow when I thank you, send it to the palace."

Knowing that Lin Ruhai had entered the palace, Linlin just sent her eunuch out to say a few words.

Even if she is confinement, she still has to worry about things in the palace. Linlin doesn't need to be sad about those small things, but the emperor's move is a big deal.

The garden in the western suburbs of the capital has been built, covering a huge area. The inside is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and the palaces are built along with the mountains. After walking around the garden, I didn't want to leave after entering the garden.

And he passed the words back to the palace, "I know that you two despise me as an old man, so I won't bother you two anymore. Let someone send my harem here, and I won't go back."

The West Garden is huge, and it takes two days to ride a horse through the east gate to get out from the west gate.There were many guards stationed in the garden, and the Supreme Emperor brought half of the palace ladies and eunuchs there.In this way, the West Garden still seems to be sparsely populated.

The Supreme Emperor asked people to carry his sedan chair for several days in the West Garden. He liked several palaces, and then waved his hand. All the palaces he liked became his bedroom. He decided where to live at night according to his mood. one place.

Even the lowest-ranking concubine can be allocated an independent palace, and everyone in the Supreme Emperor's harem is happy.

There is also a palace by the water that is reserved for the Empress Dowager West. The Empress Dowager West did not move with the Empress Dowager, but she did not want to live with the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager East.I feel that living with my son and grandson is better than living outside.

A few days after the Supreme Emperor moved in, the emperor took some time and took people to the West Garden to have a look.

When passing through the east gate, I saw two large characters "Yinghui" on the gate from a distance.

"These two characters are well written. I don't know which two characters are engraved on Ximen."

"The engraving is 'Send Xia'. You enter from the east gate. As soon as you enter the gate, there is a big pond with many fishes. I heard that there are two carps with golden scales on their backs. Can't see."

The emperor was very interested. He rode his horse from the east gate and ran around the pond. Suddenly, a little golden light appeared. He reined in the rein and turned his head to see a two-foot-long carp on the water. There is exactly a row of golden scales on the back.

"This fish...let people raise it well." The emperor liked this fish very much, thinking that although there was a West Pool in the palace, it couldn't be compared with this one. Some steps and railings were built along the coast. The more they looked, the more wild they looked. Even if the two carps were moved into the palace, there would be no such place to look pleasing to the eye.

In my heart, there is a kind of hope that the Supreme Emperor will die soon. When the time comes, I will move here with my wife and children. Wouldn't it be easy to love the mountains and rivers every day?

On one side of the pond is a rockery, and there is a door opening under the rockery. The emperor rode a horse through the door opening, and suddenly saw a bright view. Although it is not late autumn, the ground is full of chrysanthemums, clusters of flowers All the flowers are in bud.Various varieties and shapes form a sea of ​​flowers, and people walking through it can only feel their minds fluttering.

The further you go inside, the more the emperor regrets it.If we had known that this garden was so good, we would not have allowed the Supreme Emperor to move in, and let the old man live in the palace.

Leaving aside whether the father and son met happily, the emperor rode all the way back to the palace. Hearing that Linlin had got up from the bed, he hurried to the Ganlu Palace.

Linlin was wrapped in thick clothes, watching the maids change the bedding in the bedroom.

The emperor came in to take a look and saw that her hair was disheveled and wrapped in thick clothes. She opened her mouth and complained, "Why did you get up? You just lay down for half a month, and you still feel uncomfortable?"

"I lie down until my bones are soft, and I don't want to lie down anymore. A few years ago, my body was soft and I could still lie down. Now I don't know if it's stronger than before. I think it's okay to go out for a few laps now."

Linlin thought that she was only in her teens before, but now she is in her 20s, her body function has reached its peak, and her recovery is faster than before, and her body should go downhill in a few years.

"Don't talk nonsense, you are not an imperial physician, you should go back and lie down. The ancestors are right, if you don't take care of yourself during the confinement period, you will feel uncomfortable in the future."

As he spoke, he helped Linlin sit on the bed, covered her with a quilt, and watched her lie down.

Linlin saw that he had something to say, so she took the initiative to ask him, "Didn't you say hello to Father today? Why did you come back so early?"

"Riding over there and saying a few words, the old man drove me back. He disliked me for being long-winded. When I went there, he was watching a play. He felt that I had spoiled his interest."

Linlin thought it would be fine if there was no quarrel this time.

"As long as the father is happy, that's enough. We are sincerely honoring him. Let's see who dares to say that you don't respect the father in the future."

The emperor thought to himself that I really don't want to honor that old man. The older I get, the more stupid things I do.I'm sorry to tell the queen that the old man, the Supreme Emperor, was watching some unscrupulous drama, but now the old man has completely become a fool, and has caused many little maids to be dissatisfied. He still wants to choose a concubine, so he refuses to agree to him.

So I changed the subject, "I saw Xiyuan today and thought it was very good, and our family will move in. Speaking of which, although it is good to go to Xiyuan, it has been passed down from generation to generation. It has been several years since I became the throne, you I have already raised three children, but I haven't built the Wannian Blessed Land. It's time to mention this matter now."

The Wannian blessed land that the emperor talked about is to build mausoleums.Especially after seeing the West Garden today, he felt that a luxurious mausoleum should be built.

So at this time, I took Linlin's hand enthusiastically, "Let's build a big underground palace, and neither of us will take it with us, and put some daily utensils in it. The front and back rooms must be built like our palace."

The more he talked about Linlin, the more he felt that it was a waste of money.

Moreover, the money for the construction of the emperor's mausoleum came from the treasury. Although the treasury has improved a bit in the past two years, it is still somewhat unaffordable to build a luxurious mausoleum.

Linlin couldn't help interrupting the emperor, "Over the years, tomb robbers have sprung up everywhere. The more luxurious the tomb, the more they can't stop these tomb robbers. Why?
