Chapter 3 The Inhumane Emperor 3
To this day, Lin Chunhuan still remembers the ferocious look on Princess Changning's face when she said these words.
That poisonous woman is not only jealous, she can't even tolerate a woman more beautiful than her.
There are more than one or two innocent souls in the hands of the beauties.
Turning over the paper in his hand, his eyes fell on a peach pattern and stopped. Lin Chunhuan took a closer look at the woman on it, and the smile on his lips became brighter and brighter, "Found it."< br>
"It's a skinny guy, no wonder he had to be sent to the palace openly."
Two days later, Chuntao brought the redeemed Hongxiu to her. Lin Chunhuan looked up and down, her eyes focused on the peach pattern on the collarbone of Hongxiu. Go up and stay extra long.
I have to say that the Queen Mother has good eyesight. Hongxiu did have a good appearance. Lin Chunhuan looked away and said, "I heard that your eldest sister gave birth to eleven children to her husband's family, nine of which were A boy?"
Hong Xiu was obviously stunned, then nodded, "Yes."
"Not only the eldest sister, but also the other sisters are good at raising children."
Hongxiu was a little confused. Two people had asked her this question this month, but she didn't think much about it. With her status, it was a blessing to be bought by a serious family.
Lin Chunhuan raised her eyes, "Are you willing to stay in the Lin family for me and fulfill your filial piety?"
"The name Hongxiu is not good. You and I both have peach blossom patterns, so I will give you the same name as me. "How about calling Huan'er?"
Two months later, a small sedan stopped outside the Lin Mansion and picked up a maid from the Lin Mansion. This was done in secret, and even the neighbors were not alerted. .
On the way, the nanny who picked her up told her the whole story, which was roughly the same as what she heard from Chang Ning.
There were a total of five people in their batch who were selected from the private sector to enter the palace. They were all born to sisters and mothers who were good at raising children. The old woman's attitude was quite kind, "Girls, don't worry, even if you enter the palace, you won't have a status."
< br>"But as long as you give birth to an heir for the Holy Father, all the blessings will follow!"
Lin Chun responded with a smile, but looked at the street scene outside through the small curtain on the sedan.
In Kyoto, she is here after all.
"Lin Huan."
When someone called her name, Lin Chunhuan reacted for a moment before answering. She was in a trance all the way. Even she felt like she was dreaming. Things went surprisingly smoothly.
When she came to her senses, she had already arrived at Chuxiu Palace.
The nun in front of her had a scrutinizing look in her eyes, "Take off your clothes and lie down."
Even the person chosen by the Queen Mother must of course have a clean body. After checking, it must be clean no matter what. Inevitably, Lin Chunhuan bit her lip and forced herself to take off all her clothes.
“I’m not shy, please spread your legs.”
The old grandma's tone was cold, and her inspection movements were particularly rough. The pain made Lin Chunhuan couldn't help but tremble, and it took an unknown amount of time before she stopped.
When everything was over, Lin Chunhuan was already covered in sweat.
“I have a good body, there is no problem. Leave these to Aunt Jiang.”
Although it was a new life, this was the first time for her to come to this palace. Still confused, I can only do whatever others say.
The new beautiful ladies who entered the palace were all given status, most of them were low-ranking concubines. Only the daughter of a general was granted the title of noble.
As for concubines and above, apart from the imperial concubine who once gave birth to the little prince, there were only nieces from the Queen Mother's family who had followed the emperor since the East Palace and were later granted the title of virtuous concubine.
The five women who entered the palace with Lin Chunhuan were all arranged next to the emperor. Some served tea and some held lamps. She waited for a long time but did not hear her name.
When Aunt Jiang had finished dividing the rest, she asked softly, "Mommy, what should I do?"
"You?"
< br>There was that sizing look again. After being looked at a lot, the initial discomfort naturally subsided. Aunt Jiang sneered, the disdain in her eyes was particularly obvious, "You are the skinny horse from the south of the Yangtze River, right?" "I can give it to you." You saved a good spot.”
Lin Chunhuan understood after nightfall that the good position that Aunt Jiang mentioned was the foot warmer. It was the most humble and undignified position in the harem, but it was also the position closest to the emperor.
When others fall into this position, they may even want to die.
But Lin Chunhuan doesn’t think so. This position is exactly what she wants!
Cining Palace.
The Queen Mother lingered on the sickbed, and the imperial doctors were busy coming in and out.
Wen Yunxiao was sitting outside with a cold face. Although he was over thirty years old, his face was still well-defined, with a clear jawline and a high bridge of nose, which was even more delicate and picturesque.
"How is the queen mother?"
Even though the impatience in his eyes could no longer be hidden, Wen Yunxiao still patiently waited for the imperial doctors to stop before asking softly.
I was afraid that too much noise would disturb the Queen Mother who finally fell asleep.
However, the imperial doctors all looked at each other, and no one spoke for a long time.
Wen Yunxiao's face became even colder, "Why, are everyone deaf?"
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
Everyone in Cining Palace fell to their knees, and finally It was the head of the hospital who stood up and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is really suffering from heart disease. Since the death of the little prince, she has become even more worried and worried. The Queen Mother herself refuses to take medicine."
"My lord, I am really worried. There is no way!”
"A bunch of trash!"
Kicked the head of the courtyard to the ground. Wen Yunxiao was pacing left and right. Unexpectedly, the movement woke up the Queen Mother, "Your Majesty."
Hearing the voice , Wen Yunxiao immediately entered the inner hall and tightly held the hand extended by the Queen Mother.
Since the death of the little prince, the queen mother has been aging day by day, and now she is extremely weak. Wen Yunxiao sees it, but there is nothing he can do.
In fact, he was not sad when the little prince passed away.
The rotten old ministers in the court forced him to adopt the clan's children one by one, and they would hit the pillars at every turn. Sometimes he wished he could kill all those people one by one!
"Your Majesty, the Ai family is old and they know their own health well. Don't embarrass the imperial doctors. They have done their best."
The Queen Mother spoke weakly.
Her condition is not so serious that there is no cure, but she has lost the desire to live in her heart. Even if the gods come, it will be difficult to save her.
Wen Yunxiao shook his head repeatedly, "No, Queen Mother, there will definitely be a way!"
"Your Majesty, the Ai family is just unwilling..." Before she could finish her words, the Queen Mother had already shed two lines of tears, "There is no successor to the country. Now that the Ai family is gone, how should we show respect to your father and the Wen family?" The ancestors told me!"
"Mother..."
Wen Yunxiao wanted to say something, but the words came out bitter.
After the death of the little prince, it was not that he had not tried, he had tried many times, and he gradually became despairing and gave up hope. The situation has become worse and worse in the past six months. He has never stepped into the harem once. All energy is used to deal with government affairs.
The Queen Mother also knew about this, and her heart disease became more and more serious.
If it weren't for the Queen Mother's mood, Wen Yunxiao would not have agreed to the draft some time ago.
“Your Majesty.” The Queen Mother’s weak hand grabbed Wen Yunxiao’s forearm, “Even if it’s for my last wish as a mother, let’s try again... let’s try again. ! ”
