Chapter 27: Give submission

Concubine Lin took back her hands from the red sandalwood box and held a flat object of golden Cancan, which was a robe.

The light golden robe with the right collar, wide sleeves, waist, wide hem, large folds at the waist, front chest, back, shoulders, colorful golden pythons, flowing clouds, waves and cliffs at the sleeves and knees!

It turned out to be a python robe!

In just a moment, a sound of breathing in the main hall came from the mouths of all sizes, and even the old lady Zhao, who had always been calm, was a little confused! Is this a reward from Concubine Wu? What is Concubine Wu's identity and how brave is she to reward such things privately?

The old lady Zhao took a deep breath and looked carefully at the young grandson Lin Nan standing next to her, thinking sternly: Concubine Wu said that Nan'er helped her. Is this an excuse or is it true? How busy is it? As for the reward of a python suit? Zhao couldn't help but look at his eldest son Jingbei Bolinwen coldly.

At this time, Lin Wen was also a little unbelievable. Even as a third-rank general of Tiger Power, he made great contributions in the campaign and was honored as the title of Jingbei Bo, he was not qualified to wear a python robe. This time, the gift from Concubine Wu to a child was such a thing! Lin Wen's first reaction was: Empress Wu had exceeded the rules! But then he thought, it was not the one who exceeded the rules, but the person behind Empress Wu!

After the initial shock, all the people in the main hall recovered and began to guess the meaning of the python robe and even implicate it. Although Lin Wen was sometimes delicate, he was a rough man in general. Lin Wu was not the case. The first time he saw this robe, Lin Wu thought that the reward could only come from one person, saying that the gift from Empress Wu was obviously just an excuse. But Nan'er had never seen him before, so why did he suddenly give such heavy patrons?

Could it be... Could it be that my Lin family did something wrong? Zhao and Lin Wu thought of this at the same time.

It turns out that the emperor rewarded clothes secretly, and Jian Dynasty had precedents. The relatives and princes of Jian Dynasty were generally divided into court clothes, public clothes, sacrificial clothes, regular clothes, dresses, gift clothes, etc. The gift clothes were not included in the public clothes, but were rewarded by the emperor's special grace. But normally, this kind of gift clothes was generally given to important officials of the court, such as python clothes, which were generally only rewarded to the internal supervisor, chief minister of the cabinet, Kaijiang marshal, etc., and there were also bullfighting clothes, flying raccoon clothes, qilin clothes, etc., which had their own hierarchical regulations.

There was an emperor in the previous dynasty who rewarded an important minister with a python robe, but it was a secret reward. Not long after, the important minister was found to be searched for an excuse and python robe. The man said it was rewarded by the emperor, but the emperor refused to admit it and finally moved his house... Although everyone later said that the man had ulterior motives and committed a crime of disrespect, some people were puzzled that this person was just played with. From beginning to end, it was just a plan by the emperor. If he wanted to kill him, he would like to give him a first.

It was precisely because of this incident that Lin Wu and the old lady Zhao were shocked and hesitated, not knowing whether this was a sincere reward from the emperor or whether the Lin family had violated the emperor's taboo, which made him feel "with it". Thinking of this, Zhao no longer allowed Lin Wen to be out of the matter like he had nothing to do.

Facing the scorching gazes of everyone in the room, Lin Nan unexpectedly felt nothing. Instead, Jingbei Bolin Wen couldn't stand it anymore, especially the old lady Zhao's heart-wrenching gaze, which made Lin Wen almost kneel down with a thud. In desperation, Lin Wen had to call his mother, sister, Concubine Lin and his second brother Lin Wu to the side hall temporarily, and told him everything he saw and heard. After hearing this, the few people looked at each other and calmed down again.

How could these things be so good? Concubine Lin was relieved at this time. No wonder Empress Wu was so obscure when she spoke. It turned out that her nephew accidentally saved a prince! It caused everyone to be a false alarm! Lin Wu also felt relieved. The sixteenth prince was smart and cute, and he has always been the queen mother's heart. The emperor also liked it very much. If the reward was given more, it would be reluctant......bad...no matter, no matter how hard he tried, it would still be unreasonable!

The old lady Zhao and her second son once again thought of going together! Zhao is a family of people and is well-informed. Her father was once the general of the state of support. Her brother was named General of Zhenguo. She pacified the Grand Marshal of Peking three times and finally became a Duke. She was born in such a family, and naturally became a different view of some things than ordinary people. Python suits are not ordinary objects! Nan'er, let alone saving a prince, even if she saved the emperor, it would be unreasonable to reward a python suit!

It was a good wedding event, but because of the different objects of reward and the special nature of the reward items, the people in the main hall were frightened and there was no sense of joy at all.

At this moment, Concubine Lin said something to comfort everyone: "Don't be surprised, if this is the case, it would be reasonable."

"Ah?" Zhao couldn't help but wonder: "How did you say this?"

Concubine Lin did not answer, but slowly spread the robe and held it into Zhao's eyes: "Mother, look carefully."

Zhao's face showed surprise when he heard this, but he still listened to his daughter's words and looked at the robe carefully. After a few glances, Zhao closed his eyes and let out a long sigh: "Oh! I have enjoyed wealth all my life, but today I was blinded by a piece of clothing!" After a while, the old lady sighed again: "Oh, it scared me very much!"

Concubine Lin quickly put down the clothes and knelt down on the ground: "My daughter is unfilial, I hope my mother will forgive her for her crime!"

"Hmph!" Zhao took her eyes and said, "This is really an outgoing girl. She has been married into the palace for more than ten years, but she has learned to deceive her mother's family!"

When Concubine Lin heard the color change on her face, she hurriedly said, "Mother, it's not that her daughter deliberately makes her mother worried, but that her daughter didn't know what Nan'er had done before. If she received such a reward for nothing, her daughter wouldn't be relieved no matter how she would."

"Forget it, get up, remember, no example. Even if you are the imperial concubine, you are the daughter of my Lin family after all!"

"Yes." Concubine Lin responded and stood up slowly. At this time, Lin Wen and Lin Wu also saw the subtleties of the robe and all breathed a sigh of relief!

After struggling for a long time, I always thought that the emperor had borrowed the mouth of Empress Wu and gave Nan'er a python costume last time! But now after a closer look, there was no python costume here, it was clearly a flying python costume!

Among the gifts, the first python uniform is recommended, followed by flying calves, bullfighting, unicorns, cranes, etc. There is one similarity between this gifts, that is, the fabrics are made in the palace, and the gifts are also divided into grades. The highest-grade gifts are light gold fabrics, and the flowing clouds and waves on them are woven on them. At a high level, many gifts look similar, but the grades are all in the subtleties.

If you look at the flying raccoon suit in front of you, it is exactly the same as the python suit. Therefore, even if the old lady Zhao has enjoyed great wealth, he naturally thinks it is the python suit at first sight. After preconceived ideas, even Lin Wen and Lin Wu did not look closely, let alone the rest of the people?

Now that it seems, many differences naturally appear one by one.

The robe with a light golden collar with a right collar, a wide sleeve, a wide waist, a large pleat at the waist, a front chest, back, shoulders, a colorful woven flying crocodile, flowing clouds, and waves on the cliffs! The so-called crocodile on the patch is different from other places: the head is like a dragon and a crocodile, with teeth exposed; the four claws are dancing in the air, covered with golden scales, and the body is like a snake, twisting and twisting, the iron mane extends from the head and neck to the tail root, and the body is covered with long golden hair!

The flying cycling suit in front of me is a rank of first-grade flying cycling suits, but the details on it look like the second-grade one, which is a bit strange. The first-grade flying cycling suit has two wings on the patch and has golden bird feathers. The second-grade flying cycling suit only has two wings, and the rest are the same as the first-grade one.

The old lady Zhao, Concubine Lin, Lin Wen and Lin Wu surrounded her. After carefully looking at it, she finally settled her mind. At this time, the rest of the people gathered up and watched the gift of the clothes carefully. Although the Lin family was also a high-ranking family, they still received the gift of the clothes. Unexpectedly, the first person who obtained the gift was actually a child under six years old in the Lin family.

The reward of the second-grade flying rooster suit is another secret reward, which is finally reasonable.

The old lady Zhao looked at the red sandalwood box again, turned to look at Concubine Lin, with a sense of inquiry in her eyes. Concubine Lin hurriedly said, "Mother, this one is the only one, nothing else."

"Oh?" Zhao was surprised. According to common sense, he would have to be given a jade belt, but the flying raccoon suit was given, but there was no jade belt. What's going on?

Concubine Lin seemed to know what her mother was thinking, and reminded with a smile: "Mother, eldest brother, second brother, please look at the size of this flying crocodile suit..."

"Ah..." The three of them seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly realized it.

Lin Nan was only a six-year-old child at this time, not tall and thin, and the flying crocodile suit in front of him was 100% the size of an adult! Even if it was tailored and not wide, at least it would have to wait until Lin Nan became a child to be able to wear it! Could it be... the emperor's meaning... was... this flying crocodile suit... actually was a reward in advance?

Seeing that the three of them looked at her, Concubine Lin couldn't help but shake her head: "I can't guess what 'Empress Wu' was thinking, but this time the clothes were given were really different. It was really puzzling to have clothes without hats, boots without straps, and no wear ornaments."

The seemingly unintentional sentence of Concubine Lin alerted the Zhao family and the other two. Since it was a secret gift, it would be better not to show off the word. Since it was "Empress Wu", it would be "Empress Wu", otherwise it would cause trouble in vain. However, if the "Empress Wu" really rewarded Nan'er in advance, the deep meaning of this would be even more contemplated. The flying rooster suit is usually only rewarded by ministers, and the other exception is the secret guard directly under the emperor - Feilingwei. But if it is Feilingwei, there will be Feilingwei with a head, spreading its wing boots, and jade belt, but none of these things! If you forcefully say that "Empress Wu" has high hopes for Nan'er and wants him to be a senior official in the future, but the reward is not very correct.

After thinking about it, no one could guess what the "Empress Wu" was thinking. Only one thing was certain that this reward was not a disaster after all. Not only did it have any harm, but on the contrary, it might have great benefits for Nan'er's future future. After this, the few people finally felt a little relieved, and the joy that had just disappeared in the main hall finally became alive again.
