Chapter 97: | 【97】

Song Jinglan was delayed for so many days on the road, and the early morning was put on hold for a long time. Today, he went to the morning before dawn.
Lin Feilu had breakfast and planned to continue a one-day tour of the Song Dynasty imperial palace. As soon as he stepped out of the palace, he received an verbal call from the Queen Mother.
The expressions of both of them were a little nervous in Spring and Summer. The queen mother summoned at this time, thinking and knowing what happened, I am afraid that the person who came is not good. Song Yu whispered: "Princess, slave servants go and ask your majesty?"
Lin Feilu casually set his hand: "No. You help Xiaobai change a cage, I think it seems a bit too small, Ting Chun and Shi Xia accompany me to see the Queen Mother."
The three were ordered, and Lin Feilu went out accompanied by the two.
The Chonghua Hall was on the edge, and it took half an hour to walk past. Lin Feilu happened to ask about the Queen Mother on the way. However, although the two entered the palace early in the spring and summer, they were only in their twenties. They had not personally experienced what happened back then, they were all hearsay.
Shi Xia whispered: "Because of the many beauties of the first emperor, although the empress dowager is one of the four concubines, she is not very favored. Later, her majesty was selected as a proton and sent to Dalin, and the empress dowager became more simple in the palace. When the servants first entered the palace, they hardly saw the empress dowager. It wasn't until his Majesty returned home a few years before that she showed up."
Tingchun took the conversation: "But the relationship between your majesty and the empress dowager is not close. Your majesty rarely visits the Chonghua Hall, and ignores the beauties selected by the empress dowager in the palace. Once, your majesty ordered a stick to kill a beauty. That beauty is the noble girl chosen by the queen dowager’s mother to enter the palace. By all accounts, she is still your majesty’s cousin."
Lin Feilu didn't know that there were still these things, and was a little surprised: "Come to death? Why?"
Shi Xia looked around before whispering: "That beauty bribed the palace clerk in the royal dining room, and took the medicine during your majesty's food. I want to take the opportunity..."
She didn't finish her words, but Lin Feilu already understood what it meant. I couldn't help being surprised, these beauties really dare to climb the dragon bed.
Tingchun now thinks about it and feels scared, her voice is vain: "At that time, many people died in the palace. All the palace members involved in this matter died. The beauty's father and brother were also expelled from Lincheng. Even the folk doctor who took medicine for that beauty did not escape death."
The beauty was born in the Rong family, as the queen mother's niece, acting so boldly, I am afraid that the queen mother's approval. With Song Jinglan's ability, it is not difficult to infer.
The solemn and solemn atmosphere in the palace was not without reason, the fear of Song Jinglan by these palace people was established in this killing.
Ting Chun continued: "After the beauty of the Rong family died, the queen mother went to ask your majesty for an explanation. As a result, your majesty said..."
She choked, a little afraid to go on.
Picking up Xia, pursing her lips, she plucked up the courage under Lin Feilu's questioning eyes: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty said at the time that since the Queen Mother likes this beauty so much, it's better to...not to accompany her as follows..."
Can you count on how much royal affection a man who kills his father and brother has in his heart?
After that, the Queen Mother never went to Lin'an Temple again.
In the past few years, the mother and son have been in peace, because of the relationship between the country's uncle Rong Yan, Song Jinglan is actually pretty good with the queen mother. The degree of application never diminished. She said that she was lonely in the palace and wanted to choose some beauties to accompany her. Song Jinglan did not stop him. As long as those beauties don't sway in front of him, he will not kill anyone casually.
Lin Feilu listened to them talking about these old things as they walked, and gradually got a general impression of the queen mother Rong He who had never met before.
Song Jinglan left the country when he was young, and was able to hold his heels when he first arrived in Dalin. At that time, he was only seven years old, but he could quickly find the right way to survive in the enemy country. It can be seen that life in Song country was not easy and comfortable. Develop a calm and defensive temperament and adapt to the new dangerous environment in a short time.
The Rong family had several queens back then, and they had deep roots in the Song Dynasty, but they were suppressed by the emperor and gradually declined. It wasn't until the first emperor succeeded to the throne that he was so beautiful, and the Rong family, who had always been a beauty, finally found a chance to re-petition and sent the beautiful Rong He into the palace.
I placed all the high hopes of the family, step by step to sit in the position of the fourth concubine, after giving birth to the prince, naturally this high hope will be transferred to his son. I hope he will become a talent, I hope he will stand out among the princes, and I hope he can be favored by the emperor.
Presumably Song Jinglan had been instilled with the idea of ​​fighting for the throne since he was very young.
Lin Feilu remembered that a long time ago, she sat with him on the porch and ate popsicles. He had mentioned his family if nothing had happened.
At that time, he smiled and said that he was selected as the proton and sent to Dalin. The entire Rong family, except for his uncle Rong Heng, was worried about his safety. The rest, including his mother, were only worried about the loss of the Rong family. Opportunity.
Leaving home at the age of seven and returning home as an adult, he knew how much affection he could have for this queen.
Now that Song Jinglan sat on the throne as she wished, the queen mother also got everything she wanted, but she didn't know if she ever regretted when she sat alone in the palace without children.
When Lin Feilu walked to the Chonghua Hall, the early morning sun just appeared in the clouds.
The scenery around here is not as gorgeous and exquisite as the main palace, but it also has a sense of elegance. The little led the three people into the Chonghua Hall, and after passing through the eaves, they said to the spring and summer two people behind Lin Feilu: "The empress dowager only summoned Princess Yongan, and the two of you will wait here."
The two were worried, Lin Feilu cast a relieved look at them, and followed the into the hall.
As soon as he entered, Lin Feilu smelled the faint fragrance of orchids in the air, and when he went around the jade curtain, he saw a beautiful woman sitting on the couch embroidering flowers. Although he has reached his age, but with proper care and a good foundation, he can still see the beauty of his youth.
When Lin Feilu saw her, she knew why Xiaomei looked so good-looking.
The beauty of this Rong family is really strong.
She bowed to her respectfully: "The deer pays respects to the empress dowager."
The voice was soft and sweet, with natural ingenuity, the queen mother stopped the movement in her hand and whispered: "Get up."
The girl who was bowing down got up and looked up at her slightly.
An extremely clear face, bright eyes and white teeth, and water-cut pupils, there is a delicate aura all over his body. When he smiles slightly, there are two shallow pear vortices on the cheeks. It's completely different from the Hu Meizi who flattered the lord in her imagination.
She looked at herself secretly, a little curious and nervous in her clear eyes.
The queen mother thought that the princess would be sealed as soon as she came, and she had grown up with Song Jinglan, so she was bound to be pampered and proud. She wanted to show off her dignity and prestige, but when she saw that life was so well-behaved, she couldn't say much, so she told the palace nearby: "Give a seat."
Lin Feilu sat down obediently, not looking or moving, just sat like this for a while, and suddenly heard the Queen Mother ask her: "I heard that you and Your Majesty have known each other many years ago?"
Then she raised her head, curled her lips slightly and replied: "Yes, I knew your Majesty since I was a kid."
The queen mother asked: "How did you meet?"
Lin Feilu tilted his head for a moment and said with a smile: "Your Majesty lived in Cuizhuju at that time. I liked to go fishing by the pond. I happened to pass by Cuizhuju, so I met. I divided the fish that I caught. Two, I've known each other since that day."
Listening to the innocence and simplicity in her voice, the queen mother couldn't help but follow her words to imagine her son's childhood life.
Mother and son had been separated for many years, and when he returned to China, she did not recognize him.
When she first returned to China, the first emperor was seriously ill, the government was in chaos, several princes seized the throne, and she was in danger, and she had no time or mind to care about his life for more than ten years. After she successfully ascended the throne, after she became the queen mother, and when she wanted to get close to her child, she realized that there was already a great barrier between them.
He said nothing about his life in Dalin.
He didn't get close to her because of her strictness when he was a child, and now he is even more strange.
She was absent from the most important stage of his life, unable to even inquire.
At this time, the girl's brisk and joyful voice was like ink drawing the content on a blank scroll, filling the missing piece.
"There is a large bamboo forest in front of Cuizhu. Every spring, fresh bamboo shoots will grow on the ground. When you go down to dig the bamboo shoots, I will go fishing and make bamboo shoots and fish together."
"My Majesty and I are sitting in the first row of Taixue Hall. Sometimes I am too sleepy and doze off in class. Your Majesty will help me look at Taifu, and I will be called to answer questions. Your Majesty will secretly write the answer to I."
The queen mother couldn't help but laughed out: "Then the master should punish you two together."
She smiled embarrassedly.
Lin Feilu spoke straight for half an hour, and finally licked her mouth. The queen mother reacted and said, "Bring tea to the princess."
She smiled obediently: "Thank you, empress dowager."
The queen mother looked at her for a while, and when she finished drinking her tea, she smiled and shook her head, and sighed, "No wonder the emperor likes you."
Although the little princess picked up some interesting things to tell herself, the queen mother also understood that as a proton, how could it be so easy. In a lonely and helpless situation, with such an innocent and well-behaved princess, he must have helped a lot at ordinary times. It was his only comfort in his youth.
She summoned the princess to come today, just to see who is the woman who made her son make repeated exceptions.
Although she knew that she could not interfere with Song Jinglan's decision, he was also an arbitrary emperor. If she said more, she might make the care of the mother and son even more chill.
But if she is really a woman who is damaging the country and flattering the Lord, she must find a way to unite the Rong family and Song Jinglan's only trusted uncle, Rong Heng, to abolish the queen.
But at this moment, she was just an innocent and well-behaved little girl. She had never experienced suffering since she was a child. Her life was smooth and simple, and her mind was simple and simple. Even if she became a queen, she could not do the things she worried about.
The queen mother finally let go of her heart. When she recovered, she saw the the other side holding a teacup and looking at her handkerchief intently on the desk.
She couldn't help asking: "What are you looking at?"
Lin Feilu pursed her lower lip, and said softly: "The molan embroidered by the empress dowager is really beautiful."
The queen mother loves orchids. Not only orchids are used in this hall, but orchids are also embroidered on various hanging curtains.
Unfortunately, the concubine Hui also liked orchids. During the time when Lin Feilu and Lin Nianzhi mingled together, they saw all the orchid species in the world and transplanted many of them to their own flower fields. At a glance, I recognized that the queen mother embroidered Molan.
When the queen mother heard her say this, she smiled unexpectedly: "You know this is Mo Lan."
She raised her small head somewhat proudly, shook her head and pointed to the hanging curtain next to her and said: "I also know that this is Cymbidium, that is Jianlan, and the dress on the empress dowager is embroidered with Hanlan."
The queen mother was amused by the girl's cute and trivial look, and asked with a smile: "How do you know these orchids?"
She had a clear smile in her eyes: "Because my mother and concubine also like orchids, there were many orchids in the palace I used to live in."
The queen mother smiled, picked up the handkerchief that had not been embroidered on the table, and hooked the remaining stitches. After closing the stitches, the Mo Lan on the white silk handkerchief was vivid, and she waved to Lin Feilu: "Come."
Lin Feilu walked over obediently, and the queen mother handed her the newly embroidered handkerchief: "If you like it, I will give it to you from Aijia."
She was a little happy. After taking the handkerchief, she slowly stroked the molan with her fingers. It took a long time before she raised her head and said, "The deer likes it very much. Thank you, Empress Dowager."
Her original joyous voice sounded a little dull at the moment. The queen mother looked up and found that her eye circles were also a little red, and she couldn't help but ask in a soft voice: "What's wrong?"
The girl pursed her lips, curled her mouth downwards, as if she was holding back tears, for a long time she held the handkerchief, choked up and whispered, "I miss my mother."
The queen mother was shocked, thinking of her son’s indifference to herself, she felt sad for a while, took the girl’s hand and pulled her to her side, and said with a sense of sorrow: "Good boy, you are going to marry the emperor. Your mother."
