In the early morning, Lin Jue woke up in Xie Yingying's warm bed in the west garden of the back house. He originally stayed in the little princess's room last night. The two reunited after a long separation and got married, and they made a lot of noises. Originally, Lin Jue had no intention of leaving.
, but Lin Zhan woke up in the middle of the night, making a lot of noise and occupying the arms of the little princess. Lin Jue was still unsatisfied, but there was nothing he could do.
The little princess had no choice but to let him sleep elsewhere. The child would make trouble in the bed at night, which would make it impossible for Lin Jue to sleep.
Lin Jue could only come to Xie Yingying. Xie Yingying did not expect that Lin Jue would come, and had already fallen asleep. Lin Jue did not let the maid wake her up, and went into the room and got into bed. Xie Yingying was shocked to realize that when Lin Jue arrived, she had already been
Lin Jue took off his obscene clothes and walked in from behind. After that, he could only open his mouth and gasp.
Watching the sunlight slowly shining into the room through the window, Lin Jue didn't want to move at all. He just wanted to lie down and not get up. Because as long as he got up together, he would be faced with complicated and troublesome things, all with their own agendas.
The intrigues and intrigues are an extremely dangerous struggle. All kinds of farces are going on in this sunny day, which is really annoying.
However, lying in this gentle countryside is not the answer after all. There are many things to do and many people to meet. I have to face the reality after all, and there must be no slacking off or decadence.
After getting dressed and getting up, Lin Jue came to the corridor. Xie Yingying was sitting in the sunshine on the corridor reading a book. Seeing Lin Jue coming out, she hurriedly ordered people to fetch water and help Lin Jue wash up. He also asked people to put the hot food in the pot.
Millet porridge and flour cakes were brought out for Lin Jue to eat. While Lin Jue was having breakfast, Xie Yingying was behind her combing Lin Jue's hair and tying it into a bun.
Lin Jue ate a few mouthfuls of cakes and drank two mouthfuls of porridge, and suddenly felt that this scene was very familiar. When he was in Hangzhou, Lu Wu served him like this every morning. When he ate the sugar cakes she made by herself,
, she stood behind her and combed her hair. Sometimes she even picked up half a piece of sugar cake and held it up for her to open her mouth and take a few bites. At this moment, the sugar cake tasted so good that Lin Jue almost thought it was Green Dance.
I made the sugar cookies by myself, and I felt a little dazed.
"What's wrong? Don't the sugar cakes taste good? Sorry, I learned this from the Green Dance girl. I only know that the heat may not be enough. If it's hard to swallow, husband, don't force it. Whatever you want to eat, I'll order someone to go out.
Bought it." Seeing Lin Jue was stunned and refused to eat, Xie Yingying thought it was because the food she cooked was not delicious, so she said apologetically.
Lin Jue shook his head and said: "It tastes very good, as delicious as the one made by Lu Wu. I just remembered something."
Xie Yingying said oh, continued to put Lin Jue's hair into a bun, and gently pinned a jade hairpin. Then she came to sit down next to Lin Jue, and said softly: "Husband, you are thinking about Green Dance Girl. Husband, there is no need."
Worry, Miss Lu Wu will be fine. Maybe Sun Huyuan and the others will find Lu Wu and Xiaohu soon, and maybe they will come back today."
Lin Jue frowned and said, "Have Sun Dayong and the others not sent back any news yet? Are there any traces?"
Xie Yingying smiled bitterly and said: "They just left the capital yesterday. It's only been less than a day, and maybe they haven't left the capital yet. Don't worry, nothing will happen."
Lin Jue sighed and said: "Maybe I'm too impatient. Somehow, I always have a bad feeling. I hope I worry too much. Don't mention it. There will definitely be news in the next two days. Wait for Sun
That’s what Dayong and the others said. Commander Shen also sent people to look for it.”
"Yes, husband, there is no need to be anxious. When you become anxious, everyone will be anxious. Everyone will be worried." Xie Yingying said softly.
Lin Jue smiled, took a bite of the sugar cookie, chewed it, and asked vaguely: "I slept well last night. Why did I get up so early in the morning? What book were you reading?"
Xie Yingying's face turned red, remembering Lin Jue's rough sprint and impact last night, which made her body feel slightly uncomfortable at the moment, and she couldn't help but give Lin Jue a blank look.
"Just reading some random books. I recently wrote a script for the theater. I felt that I didn't read enough and it was very difficult. So I found some miscellaneous books and took a look."
Lin Jue remembered something and asked, "Where did Zheng Nuanyu and Qian Liuer settle down after they returned to Beijing?"
Xie Yingying said hurriedly: "Oh, Miss Zheng and Miss Qian are both placed at Qin Xiaoxiao's place at the Dongcheng Grand Theater. I went to see them just the day before yesterday, and they are both very good. It's just..."
Xie Yingying hesitated.
Lin Jue said: "What's wrong?"
Xie Yingying said: "Miss Zheng and Miss Qian have been living in the Dongcheng Grand Theater for more than a month. It was nothing at first, but the two girls felt that they had nothing to do, and they felt a little knotty in their hearts. Miss Zheng asked me, Yingtian Mansion has been recovered now,
Can they go back and reopen and renovate the Yingtianfu Grand Theater? Firstly, it is their theater, and secondly, they don’t want to stay there in vain. They refused to take last month’s salary, saying that they had not done anything
, I don’t dare to ask for it.”
Lin Jue nodded and said: "These two girls feel that they have had nothing to eat. Hey, why bother? Now the people of Yingtian Mansion have trouble even eating, and the situation is unstable. How can they still be in the mood to go to the theater? Teach the bandits.
The remnants are in the dark and will come out to cause trouble from time to time. It is impossible to reopen the Yingtianfu Grand Theater."
Xie Yingying said: "Otherwise, we can just open another one in the capital. The staff are ready anyway, and the theater's business is also good, so they can have something to rely on."
Lin Jue smiled and said: "Heroes see the same thing, and I have the same idea. There are only two theaters in the capital, and we need to open a few more. During this time, I have not been busy with this matter. So be it, Yingying
You are responsible for preparing this matter. Let Zheng Nuanyu and Qian Liuer follow you to organize the matter. What do you think?"
Xie Yingying said happily: "That's great. I thought you wouldn't agree. Then it's settled. I'll tell them the good news soon."
Lin Jue smiled and said: "That's fine, just don't tire yourself. Take your time, things won't be urgent for a while."
Xie Yingying said angrily: "You are still talking about me, please advise yourself. Last night... you were sighing in your sleep. Husband, you really need to take care of yourself. You are our God, if anything happens to you, God
It collapsed."
Lin Jue stretched out his hand and patted the back of Xie Yingying's hand, and whispered: "Don't worry, the sky won't fall. Later, tell the two girls that I will go see them when I have time. Tell them to stay in the capital safely and securely."
The Yingtianfu Theater is gone, so we can give them the Beijing Grand Theater."
…
At half past midnight, Lin Jue had already arrived in front of the Daqing Gate Palace on horseback. Emperor Guo Chong had not gone to court for many days, so there were not many officials coming in and out of the palace gate. The gatekeepers were walking in rows near the palace gate.
On patrol, a few Imperial Guard officers at the palace gate even began to laugh and joke while basking in the winter sun.
After verifying his identity, Lin Jue entered the palace unimpeded. Walking on the flat square in front of the spacious Daqing Hall, the winter sun shone with withering light. The surrounding vegetation was no longer lush and lush, and no longer full of flowers.
.More importantly, there are very few people around, which makes it feel quite desolate.
Having spent a long time in the Storytelling Room of Chongzheng Hall, Lin Jue was very familiar with the routes in the palace. There were also familiar guards and chamberlains. After asking someone, he found out that the emperor had moved from Jingfu Hall to Xihua Hall.
.
Lin Jue then remembered that one of the contents of the emperor's edict was that the emperor moved to the Xihua Palace to punish himself. The Xihua Palace was a small palace on the west side of the palace. It was the site of the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
At first, the palace before it was expanded was planned to be demolished and rebuilt. However, everyone thought that it was a symbol of the difficult years of the Zhou Dynasty, so the palace was preserved as a collection of scriptures, books, calligraphy and paintings.
The emperor moved there to live, which is obviously a sign of self-examination. The Xihua Palace is not worthy of the emperor's noble status.
Lin Jue headed west on a familiar road and passed several palaces. Ahead, among the lush pines and cypresses in the northwest corner of the palace, at the end of the blue brick avenue, a gray palace stood quietly there. The palace of Xihua Palace
The scale is incomparable to other palaces in the palace. Daqing Hall, Zichen Hall, Chongzheng Hall, Jingfu Hall, Yanhe Hall, any of these palaces are taller, wider and larger than Xihua Hall.
The price is more than double. The emperor moved here to live, which is indeed a bit shabby.
Lin Jue slowly walked towards the Xihua Palace. Among the trees, the imperial guards in front of the palace who were hiding for protection suddenly appeared and blocked the way, asking for the reason. Lin Jue informed his identity and asked them to report inside. Not long after, someone strode in.
Come on, it's someone Lin Jue knows.
"It's really Mr. Lin, you are here. The emperor asked last night why you didn't come to see the saint when you returned to Beijing?" The visitor was Zhao Yuankang, the commander of the front department of the palace. The emperor moved here, and he followed him here.
.
"Lin Jue has met the palace commander. He just returned to Beijing before noon yesterday. He was tired and sleepy, and needed to make some preparations in advance, so he was unable to come to see the emperor. So he came this morning. I also asked the palace commander to inform me. I wonder if the emperor is willing.
I refuse to summon my subordinates." Lin Jue bowed his hands in salute.
Zhao Yuankang smiled and said: "No one can see you, Master Lin. Master Lin is a hero who made a splash on the battlefield of the Pingqing Rebellion. The Emperor will definitely meet you."
Lin Jue said hurriedly: "The palace commander made fun of me, what does the matter of the lower official mean? It's not worth mentioning."
Zhao Yuankang said: "Mr. Lin, don't be humble. That is not a trivial matter. I was very surprised and thought it was impossible when I got the news. No, a few days ago, I even asked my brothers in the Infantry Department.
Only then can I believe that your story is not bragging. Mr. Lin, you are a scholar. If you act like this, how can we generals still fool around?"
Lin Jue chuckled and said: "The Commander-in-Chief said something serious. It's a lucky chance. Otherwise, the Commander-in-Chief would just steal the limelight from us scholars and write a good poem to slap them in the face."
Zhao Yuankang laughed heartily. After laughing, he stretched out his hand and said, "No kidding, Master Lin, come with me. I will personally go in and report for you."
Lin Jue thanked him and followed Zhao Yuankang. He passed through the avenue between the trees and soon arrived at Xihuadian Square.
