This year's Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet was moved to Changchun Garden.
Two days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the emperor sent people to take the Queen Mother and the concubines with sons to Changchun Garden.
Lin Yutong felt that the emperor's approach was really cold and hard.
It's quite enough to carry these women back and forth. Those who have sons are okay, but those who have given birth to princesses can only stay in the palace. There are also noble concubines, whose status is considered to be the most noble now, but
It's good now that the emperor has taken the child and his mother to reunite with her, leaving her as a noble concubine to stay in the palace to look after the house. This difference in treatment is too obvious and too shameful. But in the end, who told us not to
What about giving birth to a son?
Aunt Ping whispered to Concubine De: "Look at Concubine Liang, there are only a handful of bones left. The emperor has made a decree and we must go. But the concubine has difficulty getting out of bed now, but she doesn't dare to leave."
Obey the decree." Who dares to bring trouble to the Emperor at this time?
Concubine De sighed. But what can be done about this matter? Laoba is already like that. She, a mother-in-law, doesn't dare to hold back her son. She has to crawl. What's more, only a good concubine can do it.
Is it difficult? Concubine Hui feels better? Prince Zhijun has surrounded her. If it weren’t for her grandson, Concubine Hui would be pure by eating fast and chanting Buddha. Who is willing to reunite? If you can’t see your son, who can you reunite with?
I dare to say this in my heart, but I have to say it on my face as "the emperor's grace is so great".
Lin Yutong, however, did not plan to take the child in this time. She discussed with Fourth Master, "We will only take Honghui. This child is very skilled. If anything happens, he will be able to protect himself. He said Mo Yaqi caught a cold.
I had a cough, and even Hongshi and Hongzhao were infected. Hongyun sprained his foot when he got off the horse, so he didn't go. When the time comes, ask Honghui to follow him closely. Don't worry about me. I won't wear it.
If you go under the flower pot, you will definitely run faster than anyone else."
The fourth master looked at her very strangely, "You have been thinking about it for a long time, right?"
Lin Yutong nodded, right?
Anyway, it rained a few days ago, and Mo Yaqi had a cough. She thought of it at that time, and not only asked Dr. Su to take a look, but also invited the imperial doctor to come. She was not afraid of anyone questioning her. It was a coincidence that it was the imperial doctor that day.
Entering the garden, I met Hongyun at the door. He couldn't stand firmly after dismounting his horse and fell down.
Look, what a good excuse. Even the witnesses are ready.
Fourth Master said: "It's really difficult for you." Actually, this matter doesn't need to be so troublesome. As long as Honghui arrives, the other children will not receive so much attention. He is not important enough yet.
But seeing that Fujin was indeed serious and had planned for the children with great care. He couldn't hurt her, so he nodded very seriously, "When the time comes, if someone asks, that's what you say."
Meow meow, she didn't know why Fourth Master said that until she sat among a bunch of women and realized that no one asked her, not even Concubine De.
It turns out that he knew earlier that no one would ask questions about your children one by one from the eldest to the youngest without any reason.
In fact, sometimes, oneself is not as important to others as one imagines.
She didn't have time to think deeply when she heard San Fujin whisper: "Look at Concubine Liang and her eighth brother and sister."
Li Yutong took advantage of the situation and looked over. In her impression, the good concubine was indeed a beauty, but looking at her now, her face was pale, her expression was haggard, her eye sockets were sunken, and her cheekbones were protruding. How could she be so beautiful? And the Eighth Blessing Jin sat there.
Behind Liang Fei, she kept her head lowered, occasionally chatting with Qi Fujin. From the beginning to the end, her eyes never fell on Liang Fei.
She knew that what San Fujin wanted to say was about the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but she did not dare to speak carelessly on such an occasion. She nodded and said, "It seems that Concubine Liang is looking cleaner than before. No wonder the eighth brother and sister have sad faces."
San Fujin laughed and said, "You are saying that as you get older, you should pay more attention to your health."
So the two of them started talking about whether it was better to eat beans, bean sprouts, or ground tofu, but they didn't know where the topic went.
Wanyan sat next to Lin Yutong, both behind Concubine Zaide. She was in contact with Thirteenth Fujin.
The women were together, talking about some topics that were neither salty nor bland, eating melon seeds and drinking hot tea. Until the dinner started and the emperor asked his female relatives to go to the front to listen to the play together, Lin Yutong's heart was beating fast.
There's something wrong with this!
If there is no need for men and women to avoid suspicion, they should have made a decision earlier. Now that the place has been changed halfway, it feels unusual no matter how you think about it.
She stood up and gave Concubine De a hand, and immediately felt that Concubine De's hands were shaking. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other, and both saw a bit of fear and worry in each other's eyes.
The people sitting in this hall are not stupid people. They are the Queen Mother. She also suppressed her smile and stood up and said: "Let's go then. It's rare that the Emperor knows your thoughts. You all want to see your sons and grandchildren. My wife here is
No matter how filial you are, it's still of no use."
Concubine Yi smiled and said: "What Huang'er Niang said is what you are talking about. You want to see your son, but now you are using us as a shield. Over the years, we have treated Huang'e Niang
All the filial piety is of no use."
The Queen Mother laughed heartily, "What's wrong with this? I'm old after all. I actually said the truth that I've been telling you for half my life."
Everyone laughed and the atmosphere relaxed.
Lin Yutong admired this empress Yi Fei a little. With her cleverness and clever words, it is no wonder that she has been favored over the years.
After leaving the palace, there was a shoulder cart outside. Only the Queen Mother, the concubines and the concubines could sit on the shoulder cart. The rest could only follow the shoulder cart and walk slowly.
Fourteenth Fujin looked at Lin Yutong's thick-soled cloth shoes with envy, "Fourth sister-in-law is so foresight, why are you here wearing these flat-soled soft shoes?"
Of course, Lin Yutong didn't dare to say that he was doing this just in case something happened so that he could run away. He only said: "I came here from the garden."
Although Yuanmingyuan and Changchunyuan are only two miles apart, the fourth master built a pedestrian path in the middle. The road is paved with bluestone and is very easy to walk. But it is quite reasonable to use it as an excuse. "You can't take these steps."
, and even driving a carriage." The three of them really came here on foot.
No wonder?
Fourteenth Fujin was a little envious, and pointed at Jiu Fujin in front of him, "You have a big belly, why don't you call me Jianyu?"
Jiu Fujin turned around and whispered: "This is the garden. Were you in the palace at that time? Did you prepare everything?"
Also, women have never been received here very often. It is not as convenient as in the palace.
Lin Yutong, on the other hand, listened to the words of these people and observed the surroundings calmly. It really seemed like everyone was fighting.
When we arrived at the main hall where the banquet was held, the emperor had not come yet.
All these princes and elder brothers came out to pick up their respective wives. The fourth master smiled and helped Concubine De down with his own hands, "I will ask Honghui to sit in front of you and talk to you later. This boy is full of stories, even the emperor
Madu listen.”
Concubine De patted the fourth child's hand. She knew what the fourth child meant. She was afraid of any eventuality and asked Honghui to protect her by her side. But she was already at this age and her children and grandchildren were the best for her.
Why bother the child? The emperor's position is naturally the most dangerous, and these high-ranking concubines are also closest to the emperor. She shook her head, "It would be better to let the child be more at ease. He is close to his cousins, but
Don't restrain him." The mother and son said as they walked inside.
Honghui took the initiative to hold De Fei's other side and said, "My grandson wants to talk to you." He refused to give in.
It was not easy to argue in this place, so Concubine De had no choice but to purse her lips and stop talking for the time being.
No matter how dull he was, Fourteenth could probably guess what his mother-in-law was talking to the fourth child. He couldn't see that his mother-in-law always looked like she was ignoring him, so he muttered in a low voice: "My hair hasn't even grown yet, and my tone is pretty cool."
Big." This means that Honghui is young and doesn't have much ability, but he dares to take on this job.
Fourteenth Fujin pinched the flesh of his waist and whispered: "Eniang is sitting among the concubines. Honghui is a grandson, so it's okay to stay there. He is a grandson. I am quite capable.
But can you go to those empresses? Be more careful!"
This bitch! How could she be so cruel! Shi Shi’s face was deformed in pain and she didn’t dare to scream.
Thirteen glanced at Fourth Master worriedly, "Otherwise, my younger brother will sit next to Fourth Brother today?"
How can the princes' seats be randomly disturbed?
The Fourth Master shook his head, "Take good care of your Fujin. It's okay!" If not for the proper preparations, the emperor would not have called so many sons and grandsons, together with the ministers, to gather together. Aren't you afraid that the whole pot will be served?
So, at least in terms of safety, there is no problem.
What we are doing now is just a precaution.
Lin Yutong followed Fourth Master and sat down in their seats.
"Now that things are like this, whoever wants to take action doesn't know that the emperor is on guard and won't move, right?" she asked the fourth master in a low voice.
The fourth master chuckled, also in a low voice, as if he was whispering in her ear, with a gentle smile on his face, "What if you don't move? If you don't move now, you can still rely on the traces that are revealed now."
They will all be killed in one fell swoop. But I estimate that now that the other party knows that they have been exposed, they will only be more desperate."
Lin Yutong was shocked, "Isn't the Emperor using a room full of children, grandchildren and ministers as bait?"
The fourth master smiled and did not answer. Instead, he combed Lin Yutong's hair around her ears and tucked it behind her ears.
Bait?
Half and half! The emperor is confident that he can control the overall situation, so he dares to set this huge bait.
I'm afraid that those in the dark think that as long as they clear out the people here, they don't even need to support others, and they can rise to the top and change the world.
It can be said that this temptation is enough to make anyone take risks. (. )
