The Legend of Rebirth of the Demon Empress

Chapter 6
The emperor was looking forward to a peaceful and prosperous future, and a faint headache brought him back to reality. He was anxious about the treasury in the past few days, and he didn't know when the headache he suffered showed signs of relapse.

Although he was diagnosed and treated many times in the Tai Hospital, the headache was like a gangrene. Once he thought too much or couldn't sleep well, he would relapse. The pain was unbearable, and he often had the urge to abdicate.

His [-]th birthday has not yet passed, is it true that God will not let him have his wish?The emperor was a little reconciled, but he had to think about his affairs.

The crown prince died early, and the eighth prince, Xie Xie, was the only legitimate son of Empress Liang. According to the rules of his ancestors, he would naturally be the future crown prince.

Helplessly, Xiao Ba is too young, and Empress Liang's natal family is an ordinary small family. Even if she occupies the position of Duke Chang, the Liang family is mediocre from the Duke of Chang, and will not do anything to Xiao Ba at all. help.

Now that the position of the East Palace is vacant, the most suitable heir is the second prince Xie Yao. This kid is ambitious and his age is suitable. Unfortunately, his power in the court is too weak. If he just let go and returns home, he can suppress Si Li Supervisor and cabinet?

Although the Taizu once had a ban, the princes and concubines carefully selected the daughters of high-ranking officials and noble relatives, and the queens and concubines of Dayan were all selected from the people, but judging from the current situation, if the new emperor does not have help, it will be difficult for the new emperor to suppress those with ulterior motives in the court. Generations, more powerless to bring forth the new.

Originally, they wanted to tie Yao'er and Marquis Weiyuan together through marriage, but it's a pity...

It is still better to use the Hundred Flowers Banquet to choose Yao'er another prestigious concubine from her natal family as soon as possible. Even if Marquis Weiyuan feels uncomfortable, he will use other methods to comfort her at that time.

Alas, I hope God will allow me to live a few more years for the sake of my diligence and love for the people, the emperor thought so.

The emperor and many high-ranking officials and lords in Beijing are full of expectations for the Hundred Flowers Banquet, but there are always some people who don't care about the Hundred Flowers Banquet. silver needle.

In the past few days, Lin Zisu had developed a strong interest in the set of soul-returning acupuncture recorded in his grandfather's medical notes, and the subjects of acupuncture naturally fell on his elder brother Lin Wenjing and his personal servant girl.

There were not many servants in the Lin family. Apart from serving their own ladies, Amber and Jade also had to do some chores in the outer courtyard. Most of Lin Zisu's needles were stuck in Lin Wenjing's body.

With the foundation of martial arts in her previous life, Lin Zisu recognized the acupuncture points quickly and steadily, not only did not make Lin Wenjing suffer, but instead made Lin Wenjing feel ecstatic.

Lin Wenjing also clearly felt the rapid progress of his sister's medical skills, "Grandfather's acupuncture is really amazing, sister, your technique seems to be better." After he couldn't figure out why, Lin Wenjing could only simply record the credit to his grandfather. on the head.

"There seems to be room for improvement in this acupuncture method of my grandfather"

Lin Zisu tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said, "In the acupuncture method, the filiform needle is often used to penetrate two or three points, and it should be specially used for certain diseases and syndromes."

Lin Wenjing didn't know medical skills, so naturally he couldn't answer the conversation, so he focused his attention on his younger sister who was meditating, and saw that her younger sister was smiling, her long eyelashes were half down, and her face was peaceful.

In the past, my younger sister was just a little confused with her head buried in the sea of ​​books, and she never said a single unnecessary word. After returning from Zhuangzi, her younger sister seemed to have changed.

Not only did Lin Wenjing think so, but Lin Yuanzhi and Bi Shi also noticed that Lin Zisu had suddenly become enlightened in the past few days, from a quiet, introverted, unconventional little girl to a generous big girl.

"My daughter has grown up", Mrs. Bi said to Lin Yuanzhi more than once in the past few days. Although growing up has the benefits of growing up, it also brings some troubles to Mrs. Bi.

In the past few days, Mrs. Bi was busy preparing for the Hundred Flowers Banquet, only to find out that Lin Zisu had never attended a palace banquet, and she didn't even have the clothes to attend a palace banquet.

This is to attend a palace banquet. If the clothes are inappropriate, the reputation of the Lin family will be second. Dishonesty is no small matter!
Mrs. Bi went to several silk and satin shops, bought some new materials, and ordered a few nuns who were familiar with sewing to tailor clothes for the brother and sister.

The days passed quickly, and it was February [-]th in a blink of an eye.

Early in the morning, Lin Yuanzhi and Mrs. Bi set off from Kangningbo Mansion with their two children.

The Hundred Flowers Banquet was held at Mingde Palace in Shanglin Garden. The Lin family got out of the car, and the palace attendants led Bi and Lin Zisu to the Zhaoyuan Hall of Mingde Palace.

Many wives had already arrived in the hall, and each of them sat down according to their rank with their family members. The moment Bi and Lin Zisu entered the hall, several wives whispered to each other in private, with a hint of sarcasm in their eyebrows and eyes.

A court lady led the mother and daughter to their seats. As soon as they sat down, Lin Zisu heard someone whispering not far away.

"This is the eldest lady of Conningbo's Mansion, she looks pretty good, why haven't I seen it before?"

"I heard that Mrs. Conning Bo is the sequel, she is indeed a stepmother, she doesn't care at all."

"I heard that Kang Ningbo's family came from the countryside, and there are still vegetables growing in the backyard of the uncle's house."

After a while, I saw a group of court ladies walking over, surrounded by a group of women in palace costumes.Relying on the memory of her previous life, Lin Zisu recognized the person who came, the leader was the current Empress Liang, and behind her were Concubine Zhang Xian and Concubine Tang Zhuang.

Everyone in the hall hurriedly knelt down to salute. After the queen and the two concubines took their seats in the hall, the queen waved her hand kindly and said, "Excuse me, everyone, please sit down."

Concubine Tang Zhuang is the biological mother of the second prince Xie Yao, and Concubine Zhang Xian is the biological mother of the third prince Xie Hui. Under Concubine Zhang Xian, Lin Zisu also saw two familiar faces, the mother of the previous life and the first-in-law. Younger sisters—the wife of Weiyuanhou, Lu Shi, and the second daughter of Weiyuanhou's mansion, Fang Qingge.

Fang Qingge obviously dressed up carefully before coming here. He wore a light red gold silk embroidered brocade jacket on his upper body and a golden beaded butterfly flower on his head, which made him stand out among the many female relatives.

A hint of sarcasm flashed across Lin Zisu's face. In her previous life, her mother, Lu Shi, was careful and calculated, and never did anything that was a disadvantage. When her children married, she always calculated the benefits with her father before making plans.

This is still the case in this life, the eldest daughter Fang Qingyan's bones are not yet cold, so she began to look for a marriage for the second daughter Fang Qingge.

The queen glanced around in the hall, saw everyone sitting back to their original positions, and said with a smile: "In the past, the Hundred Flowers Banquet was held in the palace. Although it was grand, it lost the elegant music of the Flower God Festival. Seeing that the Shanglin Garden is blooming like a brocade, I asked the emperor for an order, please come here to enjoy the spring in the Shanglin Garden, everyone don’t have to be cautious today, just have fun.”

Even though the queen said so, the girls in the hall still lowered their heads and held their breath, lest they offend the nobles.

Concubine Zhang Xian saw that the atmosphere in the hall was a bit serious, so she smiled and said to the queen: "Your Majesty, I heard that the second girl from Chang Guogong's mansion is also here. I met at the Winter Solstice Banquet last time. I like it. Today Can I let my concubine meet again?"

Chang Guogong's mansion is the queen's mother's house, and the second girl of Chang Guogong's mansion is naturally the queen's niece.A girl in the crowd stood up upon hearing the words, stepped forward respectfully and replied, "Liang Wanyi has met Her Highness the Queen, ladies and gentlemen."

Concubine Zhang Xian looked at Liang Wanyi with a smile on her face, said that she took off a Hetian jade bracelet from her wrist and gave it to Liang Wanyi, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few months, the second girl of Liang is more elegant and more mature. The more you look like a queen empress."

Concubine Zhang Xian has taken a fancy to her niece?Although the queen had doubts in her heart, her face remained calm, she only heard Concubine Tang Zhuang smile and said: "Sister Xianfei said that Miss Liang Er is beautiful and beautiful, and I like it more and more."

Concubine Tang Zhuang said, she took off the bracelet from her hand and gave it to Liang Wanyi. Countless eyes were fixed on Liang Wanyi. Liang Wanyi was a little shy and a little happy.

The queen waved her hand, and Liang Wanyi returned to her seat under the envious eyes of all the girls.

Concubine Tang Zhuang's eyes fluttered, and she said with a coquettish smile: "Your Majesty, the Second Miss Liang has also reached the age to see each other. With the talent of the Second Miss Liang, it would be considered lucky for a prince to marry."

The queen knew a little bit in her heart that her own son was still young, and it was still unknown whether he could successfully succeed to the throne. These two concubines both wanted to get married, and wanted their sons to get some help from themselves and their natal families.

snort!These people really dare to wishful thinking!

The queen said immediately: "The two younger sisters must also know the rules of the ancestors. Women from noble relatives are not allowed to marry into the royal family. I think this niece of this palace will not have such a blessing."

Hearing this, Concubine Zhang Xian and Concubine Tang Zhuang already understood in their hearts that Duke Chang would never betroth his daughter to the prince unless the emperor granted a marriage.

Liang Wanyi also vaguely understood what the queen meant, her eyes dimmed immediately.

The queen stood up and suggested nonchalantly: "There is nothing left and right. If you are interested, you can accompany me to hang out and enjoy the flowers."

When the queen said so, other people naturally got up, and most of the girls followed the queen out of Zhaoyuan Hall.

And the wives like Bi Shi had already guessed what it was about to enjoy the flowers, and whispered a few words to their daughters, and stayed in Zhaoyuan Hall.

A group of people walked along the bluestone path, passed a vertical flower gate built with green bricks, and entered Qinfang Garden.

Although it is the end of February, Qinfang Garden is already full of flowers, and the eyes are full of colorful flowers.

A group of people was walking towards them, the leader was wearing a black dragon robe, he was the emperor.

When the girls saw the emperor and his party coming in, they immediately saluted the emperor.The emperor was followed by several princes and clan children, and several pairs of eyes could not stop looking at the group of girls.

The emperor asked the girls to stand up first, and then said with a smile: "It's a coincidence, since you have also come here, you should all walk around with me."

Everyone responded in unison, and a group of people followed behind the emperor and the two concubines. The boys and girls were in the way of men and women, and they walked in a clear line.

Lin Zisu was not familiar with this group of girls, so she walked at the end, squinting her eyes to look into the crowd, there seemed to be some familiar faces in the crowd
Second Prince Xie Yao!This man who gave her joys, sorrows, sorrows and joys in her previous life, entrusted her whole heart to him and gave everything for him.
Even though she was mentally prepared, Lin Zisu still couldn't tell what she was feeling at the moment. There was hatred, nostalgia, contempt, and reluctance. Lin Zisu was a little confused, and then she bit her tongue tightly. The pain made her calm down .

Now that this life starts anew, all love and hatred will be written off, and it would be best not to have any contact with each other forever!
The second prince is naturally the protagonist today. Behind Xie Yao, there are three princes and several young children of meritorious families.

No, there are only two princes beside Xie Yao, the third prince and the sixth prince, and it seems that one prince is missing.
Lin Zisu was thinking about it in her mind, so she slowed down her pace. Suddenly, a familiar male voice came from behind, "Ms. Lin from Uncle Kangning's Mansion? Stay safe!"

Lin Zisu was taken aback, and turned around to see a handsome young man in a blue satin robe, holding a winter jasmine flower in his hand, and said with a smile: "We have been looking for you so hard! We have dug half of the capital!" , it can be regarded as finding out your home."
