Chapter 287
"Let's listen." Zhao Shuang took a sip of tea.

"Wei Lin is 28 years old this year. When he was a teenager, he married a wife named Fang. Unfortunately, Fang died early, leaving only one daughter. Now she is ten years old. After Fang's death, Wei Lin has lived alone for eight years. many."

"Oh? Is there a concubine at home?" Zhao Shuang rolled his eyes and asked again.Living alone for more than eight years and raising a daughter alone should not be absurd.

"Wei Lin is picky. He hasn't taken a concubine for many years, so although Xiao Fang went to be a concubine, but there is no mistress above him, life should be easy." Lian Wu said, looking at Xiao Fang.

Xiao Fang blushed, nodded and said, "Master Wei took a fancy to this concubine, and it is said that this concubine is somewhat similar to his dead wife, and there is a word Fang in his name. He told the concubine, wait for the concubine to go After leaving Jiangnan, he will never continue."

"This Wei Lin is a person who values ​​love and righteousness," Zhao Shuang nodded. "Since you are sure that there is no problem, let's make it like this. I haven't rewarded you for a long time. You have been in the palace for many years. Credit comes with hard work, so take these two ingots of gold for self-defense."

An ingot of gold ladle is worth a heap of silver.

"Thank you, empress." Xiao Fang and Xiao Yuan joyfully took the golden box and sat back down.

When the remaining few concubines saw it, they were all envious, and each of them was ready to move.

"You don't have to be envious, everyone will have a share in the future." Zhao Shuang held tea and smiled at Lianwu, "Lianwu, if other people in the mansion have a place they want to go in the future, they can come back to the palace and get a Go again with the gold ingot.”

"Yes." Lian Wu nodded happily.She already had a place to go, but she didn't dare to be the first bird, and planned to mention this matter to Zhao Shuang after Xiaofang Xiaoyuan left.

"Empress, I heard that the emperor went to Xiyuan Road, appointed a new princess of Yi'an County, and brought him back to Shangjing?" Xiaoyuan heard some gossip outside recently, and became a little curious, "I don't know which County of Yi'an What is so special about the Lord?"

Yang Xuan was only in his early thirties, but he accepted a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl as a foster daughter, which would inevitably lead to gossip, and the former concubines in the palace heard about it, and they couldn't help but have some thoughts.

"Well, Princess Yi'an, she... saved the life of the prince when he was in Xiyuan Road, so the emperor accepted her as a righteous daughter." Zhao Shuang looked at the figure of A Tao running around outside the window, and her mood became better. .

Things in the world are never perfect, with two lovely children, A Tao and A Chen, what else is she not satisfied with?What else is there to care about?

"I don't know how I heard that's the case..." Lian Wu lowered his head and recalled, then whispered to Zhao Shuang, "There are some gossips in the capital now... I heard that Princess Yi'an said to the servants that the emperor promised She will pick her up and take her into the palace, and said... When she was on Xiyuan Road, the emperor guarded her all night."

Princess Yi'an has been living in Prince Yu's mansion since she entered Shangjing, and Yang Xuan never mentioned the matter of taking her into the palace again.

As for the gossip in Shangjing, Zhao Shuang had heard it for a long time, but he didn't want to care about it.

"Well, Princess Yi'an was seriously injured at that time, and the emperor naturally put the wounded first, so he agreed to her." Zhao Shuang lowered his head and took a sip of tea, then said slowly, "These words... don't speak in front of Ah Tao. Talk to Ah Chen's face."

After returning to Beijing, Yang Xuan would occasionally send a little Huangmen to visit Princess Yi'an with gifts. She was not worried about what would happen to Princess Yi'an in the future, but worried that these gossips would affect the children.

"Empress, don't worry, I know." Lian Wu nodded, gently shaking the round fan, "I'm just afraid that the empress will suffer. The servants of the Yu Palace's mouth leaked, and what the princess Yi'an said to the servants, even the concubine Everyone has heard about it, so it must have been spread all over the streets and alleys of Shangjing City. It is said that Bo Yuntian, the leader of Yi'an County, moved the emperor when he was seriously injured to save the prince when he was in Xiyuan Road. She is a adopted daughter, but the two often exchange letters and gifts...they have been in love for a long time..."

A ray of worry appeared on Zhao Shuang's face, but he managed to squeeze out a smile and said, "The emperor is only concerned about her condition, and has no intention of taking her into the palace."

"Now that these words are spreading, if the emperor does not accept her into the palace, some people may think that the emperor does not keep his promise, but if she is accepted into the palace, she is nominally the emperor's righteous daughter, in case something happens between the two It will damage the emperor's reputation." For fear that Zhao Shuang would not understand the pros and cons, Lian Wu thought of this matter all the time, "Empress, you must be cautious about this matter."

"Don't worry, I know what to do," Zhao Shuang smiled lightly, and changed the subject, "Lian Wu, you are not young, have you found a place to go yet?"

"Concubine...concubine..." Seeing that she suddenly mentioned herself, Lianwu shyly stroked her hair.

Seeing that she was shy, Zhao Shuang knew that she probably already had someone she liked, "But it's okay to say it, you said it today, and you can take the golden scorpion today."

Lian raised his head unmoved, swallowed nervously, and stopped talking.

"Xiao Fang, tell me." Zhao Shuang saw Xiao Fang sitting behind cover his mouth and snigger, as if he knew something, "Do you know which young master Lian Wu has her eyes on?"

"Going back to Empress, it's...it's the nephew of Nanny Chang in our Wangfu Zhuang, Nanny Chang led the thread a few days ago." After Xiao Fang finished speaking, he saw Lianwu turning his head and glaring at himself.

"Oh? Nanny Chang's nephew? I haven't seen it before." Zhao Shuang glanced at the woman in the flower jacket in the yard, thinking that the old lady was really fat and water, so she put the remaining concubines among the concubines. The most outstanding one was picked away, "Nurse Chang didn't tell Ben Gong either."

"Nurse Chang said... wait until Xiaofang and Xiaoyuan leave." Lian Wu showed shyness, "Mr. Chang's home is just outside Shangjing. So... instead of finding a stranger, it's better to find someone who knows everything."

"That's fine, with Ben Gong and Nanny Chang here, I wouldn't dare to offend you." Zhao Shuang took out another gold locket from his purse, and said with a smile, "Take this first, since it is In Shangjing, when you leave the cabinet, I will come to ask for a cup of wedding wine, and I will give you a congratulatory gift when the time comes."

"Thank you Empress Empress!" Lian Wuhuan happily accepted the reward.

Coming out of Fanshuang Palace, on the way back to Weiyang Palace, Zhao Shuang teased A Tao, "Is Fanshuang Palace fun? Does A Tao like to go back to the Palace?"

"I like it!" A Tao raised his head happily, "The courtyard of the palace is so big, and there are waterside pavilions! You can even row a boat!"

"Well, you have to be careful when rowing, don't fall into the water." Zhao Shuang stroked the soft hair on the back of his head.

"Queen, what do they mean when Father likes sister?" A Tao suddenly took her hand and asked.

The smile on Zhao Shuang's face froze, but she still asked patiently, "Who did Ah Tao listen to?"

"It was Nanny Chang who asked A Tao if there was such a thing..."
