Returning the Way (16)

Yuanchun's show of goodwill was very cautious. After saying that, he took two steps almost without waiting for Lin Yutong to speak, and kept the distance from Lin Yutong within a normal range.

Lin Yutong turned around slightly, and then she saw where she was just talking. It was the corner where she stretched out her branches, just blocking the sight of the person following behind.

She looked at Yuanchun unexpectedly. She could still get to this day after so many big things happened in the palace. This Yuanchun is not something that no one can compare with.

She wanted to express kindness to herself, but she was afraid that in such a place, if both parties met in such an identity, if she was too intimate, she was afraid that she would have extra thoughts. So, she was very "considered" and gave herself room for choice.

Should I get close to her or not? The choice is in my hands.

But when the queen asked her to come out to greet her, she must know the relationship between the two. What was going on with her own situation? And why did she appear in the Jia family? People must know clearly. No matter what, the three members of the Yu family came to join us. No matter what, the Yu family relied on the Jia family to gain a foothold in the capital. If they did not recognize the Jia family, then who did they become?

ungrateful!

How good can a person who is successful and crazy can leave a good impression on people?

Yuanchun was well-off everywhere, but she was sure that she would not throw her face on the ground and step on it. Whether she was sincere or fake, or she didn't care whether it was true or fake. She just looked at how to better maintain the relationship and how to do it could bring her actual benefits and convenience.

Of course, Xiao Jiujiu is not wrong.

Lin Yutong still didn't say anything. She just followed Yuanchun's footsteps, then walked to the main hall, and stepped into the empress who lived in the main courtyard of the Eastern Palace harem.

The queen's appearance is not stunning, it is just a gentle, friendly and graceful look. Lin Yutong didn't know if she was sitting upright on the queen's throne in the past, and she was the same.

According to the etiquette of the Ministry of Rites, I thanked me and was then helped up.

The queen didn't sit in the main seat anymore, got up and went to the couch on the side, also called Lin Yutong: "I'm free today, so I'm just talking to you. I've never been to the north, and you're coming from the north again..."

Lin Yutong went over and followed this topic and talked about the things in the north. He had no mother since he was a child, and talked about dependence on his brother in the old house for life. He talked about how difficult it was for his brother to study and how much did he rely on to live a life. There were inevitably some crops similar to what kind of crops they planted in the fields, how much could they harvest in a year, how much would a pound of brown rice cost, and how much would a truck of firewood and carbon cost. He also talked about how much could this foot of cloth be sold in the north, but when he arrived in the capital, he realized that it was more than half the cheaper.

The queen asked again the reason for such a big difference.

Lin Yutong couldn't help but talk again: "...I was originally in the house where I didn't go out of the gate. If I hadn't escaped from the drought, I wouldn't know the reason..." He talked about the bandits along the way.

Most of the questions are just about to stop, but the queen still knows it.

The problems involved here are definitely not small problems. There are actually bandits who have been around for three days since the capital. However, the local officials did not mention this matter in their memorials. The merchants who come and go to make profits from it are not small every year.

Collusion between officials and bandits, collusion between officials and businessmen, collusion between merchants and bandits.

The more you think about it, the more terrible it is.

This requires power, money, and people need weapons. If this causes disaster, it will cause a huge disaster.

The queen nodded slowly, left Lin Yutong for lunch, and then gave another car of things: "...If the family is not busy, just ask someone to hand over the sign. Come in, let us talk together, I like you kid very much. One day, I come to this palace to pay tribute, and there are not a hundred or eighty. When I come in, I either tremble or be timid. I want to say a few common words, but each one has more thoughts than others. If you ask a question, they have to put it in their hearts.

I dared to say it after three or five times. I was so tired that I could see it. If you talk often in the future, don’t imitate them. Just treat it as a relative, just talk, eat and drink. If you have any requests, just say it. If you can do it, I will tell you that you can do it. If you can’t do it, I will tell you that you can’t do it. The most important thing is that I can’t take a three-way trip to me. For a small matter, I will go to the palace every day, and when I enter the palace, I will talk in circles. I have to guess what they think, why bother?”

Lin Yutong suddenly laughed. The queen said this was the truth. When she sat in this position, she would understand how difficult it was to find someone to chat. She responded and said again: "Since the Empress said it, I really want to ask for grace from the Empress."

The queen laughed: "It's really... OK! I said it, just say it."

Lin Yutong smiled and took off the purse on her waist, then put it on the table aside: "I don't know how many silver notes are here. I originally brought them to the palace for emergency needs. I didn't pay attention to how much. Please give this purse to the female official who brought me in for the first time... The purse was in front of the emperor, and there was nothing to hide from the purse. She is the legitimate daughter of the Jia family and my cousin. Since entering the palace, my grandmother and aunt have often been worried about it. Now I see it, I can't help with anything else. Please ask the purse to pass on the money I have with me. This is all the money I can do."

The queen looked at Lin Yutong seriously, then asked the people around her to put their purse in: "It's hard for you to be willing. I just want these?"

Lin Yutong looked at the queen in confusion, then nodded: "Empress is generous. My cousin is a blessing and does not lack money by the Empress. But after all, silver is a courageous person. If she has money, she will feel at least safe. Therefore, all the money can be given to her is the only one."

The queen really laughed this time, but she didn't continue the topic. After chatting for a few more words, she asked someone to send Lin Yutong out of the palace.

This time, Yuanchun was not sent to you again.

Only when Lin Yutong went out did the queen ask someone to open the purse: "Look at how many silver notes there are."

The largest denomination inside is one hundred taels, and the other is fifty taels, twenty taels, ten taels, five taels, two taels, and one taels. Together, there must be more than nine hundred taels.

The queen laughed: "Now, the eunuchs in the palace are so presumptuous? Does a court-destined wife have to bring so much money to her when she enters the palace?"

"How much money should I keep?" As he was speaking, the curtain was lifted open, and Emperor Zhenglong walked in.

The queen quickly stood up and knew that he had heard the tail, so she told him: "...The palace affairs will not be rectified."

Emperor Zhenglong saw the stack of silver notes placed aside and suddenly smiled: "How about this top scholar lady?"

"He is a wonderful person." The queen smiled and presented tea to Emperor Zhenglong with her own hands.

"I think it's a wonderful person, too." He took the tea and lit the silver notes with the fan in his hand: "Looking at things, you think the palace affairs should be rectified, that's right. But you haven't figured out another meaning of her move."

"Hmm?" the queen looked at him: "What else do you have to say?"

"Those adults and noble ladies don't bring these silver notes when they enter the palace." He picked up the tea: "A few beads and gems are worth more than a thousand taels. What she took out was silver notes, which is saying that their family has a shallow foundation and is not the same as the Jia family."

The queen was stunned for a moment. It was true that the lady who went out and brought this thing with her. She was carried by the girl and the woman.

And the foundation is shallow... the beauty lies in the foundation is shallow. Isn’t this exactly what the emperor needs?

She then said what the two said to her husband carefully, and then sighed: "...he is a person who understands things very well." In the end, I was afraid that they would have to solve the problem with money. When the Jia family was still confused, she, an outsider, understood more clearly than anyone else.

Emperor Zhenglong took a tea and took a sip: "Then you hand over the things. People always have to be a bit human."

The queen beat the nanny out, thinking that it would be fine if she handed over it. But she didn't expect that the nanny came back in time and opened the curtain and stood outside. She should have something to say, and she had to say it to the queen alone.

The queen frowned: "Come in and talk. Your Majesty is not an outsider, and there is nothing in the world that Your Majesty cannot know. Why do you do such a sneaky look?"

The nanny lowered her head and asked for guilt, then said, "Mr. Jia wants to see the Empress..." As she said that, she glanced at Emperor Zhenglong and stopped talking.

When a female official came, she insisted that she had something to report. Who knew what a sneaky idea was to fight? Therefore, the nanny had concerns.

Emperor Zhenglong only served tea and did not say a word. I listened to the queen's affairs in the harem.

The queen narrowed her eyes and said, "Then call me in and see what she is going to say."

When Yuanchun came in, he lowered his head and looked at the hem of the skirt, and didn't even look at the emperor. Then he knelt down one by one: "I do have important things to report, so please let Your Majesty and the Empress take their backs."

The queen frowned and glanced at Emperor Zhenglong. Emperor Zhenglong was still blowing the tea leaves that did not exist in the tea cup. She frowned and looked at Jia Yuanchun: "What's the important thing... what's the matter? What's the matter?"

"Prince Yizhong." Yuanchun clenched his hands tightly, and used all his strength to finally say these four words.

Prince Yizhong, that is, the first prince.

This matter is too taboo and too sensitive.

When the queen saw the emperor raise her head, she waved her hand and drove everyone out.

Yuanchun heard the sound of the door of the hall closing, and then said: "The two branches of the Jia family, Ningguo Mansion, have many unreasonable things. Can Your Majesty and the Empress know?"

The queen looked at Yuanchun in shock, not understanding how she said Prince Zhongyi, so how could she say that Ningguo Mansion? Could it be that Ningguo Mansion has collusion with Prince Zhongyi?

What exactly does this Jia girl want to do?

What can Yuanchun want to do? It’s just self-protection. If you don’t say it yourself, will others not know?

Rather than doing this, I will try my best.

So, her voice became calmer again: "Youshi, the wife of Ningguo Mansion, comes from Youshi, even if she is a successor, and there are several families who are willing to marry. Besides, when Youshi married into the mansion, how old was Youshi? How could an old girl in her twenties marry into the mansion and become a real wife?"

The queen really doesn't know. It is logical that there should be congratulations to the imperial edict, but she really doesn't remember that there is someone like You. If she hadn't seen her before, she could only ask for leave. It's nothing more than sick leave or maternity leave.

Not to mention that she had never met Youshi after becoming a queen, even as a princess, she didn't remember meeting her in public.

She kept avoiding, what were she avoiding?

The queen couldn't help but ask: "What is her identity and what is her hidden information? Come on one by one..."

Yuanchun shook his head: "At that time, I was still young. I only knew that this was unreasonable, but I didn't know where the reason was."

The queen's expression disappeared: What are these words? Take out all these guesses, but they are all false.

Thinking of this, she immediately paused. The most terrifying thing in this world is falsehood. She wanted to plant the seed of doubt in her heart.

What a bold slut!

Yuanchun seemed to feel the queen's anger and hurriedly said, "If Youshi, I am a little confused about the hidden feelings inside. Then what about Qin? How about an abandoned baby adopted by a good temple, why would he marry into the Duke's Mansion?"

It is hard for women whose parents die to say they are married, and their lives are too hard. What's more, people with unknown parents.

The five things that people often say about not marrying are: if the son of a rebellious family does not marry, if the son of a chaotic family does not marry, if the son of a criminal family does not marry, if the person has a bad disease does not marry, if the eldest daughter of a lost wife does not marry.

Therefore, it is so important to marry a wife, it depends on the family background, family tradition, physical condition of the family, whether there are hidden diseases, or even considering that women who do not marry women without female elders at home. This standard is not strict, and even considering that small families are considering marriage. Why don’t a family like Ningguo Mansion consider it? It is necessary to find such an unknown person?

Is there any trick to this identity?

And what kind of origin can it be that Ningguo Mansion makes such a "sacrifice"?

Yuanchun gritted his teeth and said, "The Supreme Emperor is kind and wise. He first forbidden the Eastern Palace, but he never took it too slowly. Whoever has more girl and less girl is the old saint who is still the prince's majesty and the princes at that time?"

This is true. It’s just the daughter of the banned prince. What’s the point of making a fool of this? He has simply lost his reputation as unkindness. So, what’s the point of concealing this?

But since it is concealed, there must be a need to conceal it.

Emperor Zhenglong opened his eyes and looked at Yuanchun: "What the hell are you going to say?"

"Your Majesty is wise." Yuan Chun gritted his teeth: "I don't know the specific reason. But according to my stupid idea, since I can give away a girl, can't I give away another child..."

The queen couldn't help but take a deep breath, saying that Prince Zhongyi might have another son outside the palace?

The prince was banned for many years, and the older children died. Now the people in the cold palace are young. Although they moved to the cold palace, she has never treated them harshly. She even sent an imperial physician to take care of her. If something happened to the child, no one would think about it. But after all, the child is still young. If he was sent to the palace in his early years, I am afraid that he is not an adult now and is almost adult.

Outside the palace, many variables were added. After all, the old ministers were still there. Only the Jia family was willing to marry that obviously problematic girl into the house, knowing that this force still had feelings for the old master.

If this is true, this is really an internal and external trouble. The Supreme Emperor is reluctant to part with the old ministers, but these old ministers support the son of the crown prince. In the end, it is not the Supreme Emperor fighting with the emperor, but some people want to fight with the emperor through the hands of the emperor.

The Supreme Emperor is old and will eventually be old. No matter what, he is his biological father. But this person who regards himself as a prince who is hidden in the dark is the most terrifying person. If Jia Yuanchun hadn't said this, who would have thought that there would be such a plot behind this?

Emperor Zhenglong didn't say anything, and the queen whispered: "You go out first. I've been in the house recently and I'm not allowed to go anywhere!"

Jia Yuanchun responded "Yes" and slowly withdrew.

After the person left, the queen asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, do you believe it?"
