Chapter 450: Concubine Yue brings up the matter of adoption again
Chapter 450 Yue Guifei mentions the matter of adoption again
The voices of the servants in the courtyard rose again and again: "Concubine Yue, King Dongjin came to the mansion to pay homage."
Chu Nanzhi heard the sound and supported Lin Jinxiao again, and the Lin clan walked out of the mourning hall to greet him.
When I got to the courtyard, I saw the mighty Yijia come to a stop.
This formation, this ostentation is really a noble person in the palace, even more grand than the emperor's appearance.
Seeing that Lin Jinxiao was leaning on crutches, Concubine Yue immediately came up to her, pretending to be ashamed and concerned, "Prince Pingning's legs are not healed, he should rest at home, and really shouldn't come here for my palace. Come and welcome."
Lin Jinxiao just smiled indifferently: "The noble concubine honors my Luyan Gang Lin bloodline and comes here to pay homage in person. How dare Xiao Wang neglect it?"
Lin Jinmu also came up and looked at him calmly.
I heard that he had a leg problem yesterday in Tong'an Village. It was so serious that he couldn't even walk, but he still had to come to mourn for his uncle. It was really touching.
If he finds out that he killed Da Chen, he will probably feel great resentment towards himself.
Hey, this enmity is finally settled.
Thinking of what Concubine Yue said the day before yesterday, he felt even more ashamed. What he did was simply superfluous.
Thinking of this, he turned to Lin Jinxiao with sincerity and trepidation, and sighed deeply: "My dear brother, you must mourn."
Lin Jinxiao also looked at Lin Jinmu meaningfully, and said slowly: "Thank you, Brother Wang, for your concern."
After finishing speaking, get out of the way and make a gesture of invitation: "Concubine, please come inside, Brother Wang."
While several people were talking, Chu Nanzhi's attention was focused on the silent middle-aged man who was following Yue Guifei and Lin Jinmu.
This person has a dignified body and a dignified appearance. He is dressed in a white shirt, showing the vigor and calmness of a man in every way, but he also has a bit of aura.
She guessed that it was Wu Enrong, the former prefect of Pingning County.
I heard that this person is about to be promoted to the post of Minister of the Imperial Palace. He is a third-rank court official who is in charge of gold, silk and wealth, and the lifeline of a country.
If it wasn't for Lin Jinxiao's succession to the title of prince, the two would have been on equal footing just based on the title of governor of another state.
While Chu Nanzhi was looking at Wu Enrong, he also turned his head and deliberately glanced at her. The moment their eyes met, they tried their best to look at each other with a calm attitude and smiled.
It doesn't look like an all-powerful appearance, she is thin and petite. I don't know what my confused brother-in-law has taken a fancy to her, and he is fascinated by her.
Even the upstart King Ping Ning in front of him never left her. It is said that he would even offend the Chang family and beg for nothing to be with this woman. It is really ignorant for a man of seven feet to bend his waist for a woman. very.
Although this woman helped find out the real culprit who killed Zhao Yan, Wu Enrong didn't like her at all, especially when she exposed Jiang Xiaoniang's incident, which seriously affected his reputation.
If it wasn't for the protection of the Yue family, he would have encountered great difficulties in being promoted to the title of Minister of the Taifu in Beijing this time.
Although Jiang Xiaoniang has been detained and imprisoned, she still has the blood of the Lin family in her belly. Thinking of Lin Jinlan who passed away, Lin Tingzhen felt the most depressed.
If Concubine Yue and King Dongjin were not there, he specified that he did not want Wu Enrong to step into the Lin family's door.
Staring at Wu Enrong with hatred in his eyes, the pair of enemies were also extremely jealous when they met for the first time.
Seeing that something was wrong, Mrs. Zhou pretended to be nonchalant and tugged at the corner of Lin Tingzhen's clothes, and hurriedly dragged him to the front of Chu Nanzhi and Lin Jinxiao.
Leaning close to the ear of his nephew and daughter-in-law, looking at the tall figure who entered, he asked weakly, "Nan Zhi, that must be Prefect Wu, right?"
"Well, it should be."
Chu Nanzhi answered casually, only then did she notice Lin Tingzhen's gloomy face.
Cough, it's embarrassing.
Lin Tingzhen helped his rival in raising a child for more than ten years, but was finally murdered by their mutual sweetheart.
If according to Zhao Taigong’s suspicion, Zhao Yan is also Wu Enrong’s illegitimate son, then Wu is not the elder sister of the prefect, but also his lover.
One son and one daughter died miserably, so this is not a kind of retribution.
Silently watching the group of people enter the mourning hall to pay their respects, Concubine Yue came out and searched around the courtyard, but she was disappointed that she didn't see Lin Jinxiao's rare little fellows.
She faced Lin Jinxiao, Chu Nanzhi and his wife, pretending to be concerned and asked, "How are you, Xiao Shizi and Xiaojun Wang? I haven't seen you for a few days, but I really miss them."
"Concubine Lao is thinking about it, the dog is very good."
Lin Jinxiao answered in a concise tone.
But there was a murmur in my heart.
I'm afraid this imperial concubine is still thinking about the matter of adoption.
If she mentions His Majesty's name again, it's really hard for him to refuse.
Sure enough, Concubine Yue paid close attention to it, and brought up the old story again: "The third uncle agreed with me to adopt your little county king before she was alive, and I also love these children very much, why don't you let them follow me?" Let's go to the posthouse together to live for a while, and when we return to the palace, we will go to Jingling City to stay for a while."
As she spoke, she took another deep look at the couple, and continued: "Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager regard King Pingning so highly, if they can see the demeanor of Xiaojun King, they will definitely be happy."
Lin Jinxiao's face gradually turned gloomy.
Chu Nanzhi couldn't help but let out a sneer in her heart: This is a failure of adoption, it's a steal.
No matter how favored Concubine Yue Guifei is, she is just a puppet set up by the Tang family in the palace, and there should always be people who should be jealous.
After thinking about it, Chu Nanzhi didn't back down, and said bluntly: "It's really a blessing from the concubine's previous life that the little girl is favored by the concubine, but it's not appropriate for the concubine to take them to the post house for a short stay. These little friends of my family have always been mischievous, and ordinary people can't control them, so I have to invite Mrs. Chang and Mrs. Nie to teach them, and their studies will start soon in the next few days."
After finishing speaking, he deliberately looked at Concubine Yue, and asked tentatively: "If the concubine really misses it, why don't I go and tell the second elder, and let the second elder go to the posthouse to teach the little girl?"
"No need, no need."
Concubine Yue Guifei was so frightened that she immediately changed her face when she heard Chang Lao Nie's name: "I really didn't expect Chang Lao and Nie Lao to value King Ping Ning so much that they would commit themselves to compromise and accept the baby as a disciple for the sake of you and your wife. What a great honor."
It is well known that the two elders are extremely strict in accepting students, and not everyone can make them look favorably on them.
I really don't understand what these people are all for. From the Empress Dowager to His Majesty, Princess Jinshu and Princess Yanjun, to the famous Chang Lao and Nie Lao, they all love a downcast and unpopular child of the clan so much .
Nie Huai'an has no taboos, but Chang Yanjue is different.
Although this person has already retired from the ruling and opposition parties, the Empress Dowager and His Majesty will still obey as long as he says a word.
How dare to offend.
Chu Nanzhi looked at Concubine Yue Gui and Lin Jinmu's faces showing fear, knowing that they were afraid of Chang Lao, she followed Concubine Yue's wishes and said, "As for the matter of dogs and girls entering Beijing, the concubine does not have to worry about it, the Emperor The Empress Dowager has already issued an edict that after the conferment ceremony, the slave family will personally lead the dog and daughter into Beijing."
"Oh?"
Concubine Yue Guifei looked surprised: "I have never heard of such an edict issued by the Empress Dowager."
"The slave family also heard about it from Chang Lao, and it must have been entrusted in the correspondence."
After Chu Nanzhi finished answering, Concubine Yue showed a relieved expression.
When she left the capital, she saw Ji Cen'an leading the army to help Lin Jinxiao, and she was deeply puzzled. They were just a few thieves, and there was no army to mobilize, so they had to use the soldiers from Beijing.
It turned out that they came to **** Pingning Wang's family to Beijing, but they really put their heart into it.
