The reborn woman returns

Chapter 58

"Straighten your back!" A middle-aged woman in orange was sitting on a stone bench in Prince Xian's mansion, holding a cane and looking seriously at Lin Shu who was holding a vase, while another lady next to her was holding a fan Fanning himself leisurely to catch the cold, his eyes stared at the remaining half of the incense stick from time to time.Ayu looked anxiously at the burning speed of the incense stick, hoping that it could burn a little faster. Miss Lin had been holding the vase for almost an hour, how could her body bear it like this.

I saw that although Lin Shu's complexion was pale and sweat was beading faintly on his forehead, his eyes were staring straight ahead and remained motionless.

Ling Jiangyu walked in from the outer courtyard in a white python robe, frowning slightly at this scene, with distressed eyes.The Empress Dowager issued an edict yesterday, ordering the two aunts Zhang and Li to teach Lin Shu personally. These two aunts became even more unscrupulous. The daily harsh etiquette instruction was still normal. These two stood on the vase, and the vines faced each other when there was a slight shake. Lin Shu was just a weak woman, how could she bear it.

Ayu was about to tell Ling Jiangyu about the two aunts, but Ling Jiangyu raised his hand lightly, indicating that he already knew about it.

"The two aunts have worked hard. The king has recently obtained a few taels of good Tianchi nectar, which is now being soaked and placed on the balcony." Ling Jiangyu said with a gentle smile, closing the paper fan in his hand and making a gesture of invitation. "I also invite the two aunts to give you a face."

Tianchi nectar is a famous species cultivated next to Tianchi on the top of Wangjun Mountain, and only a few catties are offered as offerings to the palace every year.Even a well-known family in the imperial capital may not be able to have this thing.

Aunt Li, who was holding a fan, smiled coldly. They had stayed in the palace for many years and still didn't know that the virtuous king's tricks would not work, so they stood up and saluted Ling Jiangyu, "The empress dowager ordered the servants to teach Miss Lin Shu what she should do." In terms of etiquette, the servants dare not betray the Queen Mother's trust."

Ling Jiangyu frowned and was about to say something, but Lin Shu watched him shake his head slightly, his face was pale but his eyes were firm, he nodded and told him that he could do it, don't put himself in a dilemma because of her.Such a weak and unyielding appearance made it hard for Ling Jiangyu to bear it any longer.The queen mother... Lin Shu is just a weak woman with no strength to restrain a chicken, so why bother to make it difficult.

He flung his sleeves and left, asking the butler to prepare the carriage and then enter the palace to meet the Queen Mother, but Lin Shu tried to stop him but was unable to move because of the heavy weight on his head.

Seeing the Empress Dowager in Yongning Palace, the Empress Dowager was admiring the purple bamboo screen that Xianzhou paid tribute to back then, Ling Jiangyu stepped forward and knelt on the ground with a big salute, "My son kowtowed to the empress mother."

"Jiang Yu is here, come and watch the screen with Ai's family." The Queen Mother did not turn around, but concentrated on looking at the phoenix standing on the plane tree with its head raised on the screen. "The phoenix embroidered on this screen is still vivid after so many years."

Ling Jiangyu didn't have the heart to study these extraneous things at this time, and what's more, the purple bamboo screen brought him some good memories when he was young. I don't know why his mother suddenly put it out.He didn't get up, but kowtowed, and begged in an obvious begging tone: "After I beg my mother, take back my aunts Zhang and Li."

The queen mother frowned and turned around, and with the help of the maid, she walked up to the soft chair and sat down, looking at Ling Jiangyu who was kneeling on the ground.I haven't seen him begging like this for many years, no matter how she plans her son in her heart, she still feels distressed. "I think you are really lost!"

"Mother's queen, Miss Lin Shu has saved my son's life, so what does it have to do with her in my heart, at most it's my son's fault?" He was the one who said he was responsible back then. The concubine is also his, but Lin Shu didn't say a word.If there is any dissatisfaction in Huo Wang's mansion, why don't you come at yourself, but want to hurt an innocent woman.

The queen mother hated iron and steel and said: "She confused you and did such a ridiculous thing, can't you justify her?!"

"She didn't confuse Erchen, it's Erchen who cares about her." Ling Jiangyu has made up his mind to take all the faults on himself. He is always the emperor's younger brother, and always the mother's biological son, even if the mother gets angry. What would really happen to him.

"Now you are contradicting the queen mother?" The queen mother shook her head disappointedly, she always thought that Ling Jiangyu was a person who understood the overall situation. "Do you think the queen mother made it difficult for her by letting her two aunts teach her the rules? You know the current state of the court, your brother is worried about balancing the court, but you are thinking about these children's personal affairs. You ask to marry As the first concubine, you don't know if it's for Lin Shu or for beating Huo Wang's mansion?"

"Mother." He never thought that he could hide these plans from his mother. He did have two thoughts.I never thought that in the end, I would be the cocoon of myself. Now, King Huo, who used to be on the side with me, has gradually remained neutral in terms of the court's political opinions, and most of them are invited to the Holy Tribunal.After Uncle Wei Guo's death, Wei Xiang's body became uncomfortable, and he was lingering in the sick bed, and his reputation among the people also plummeted.The court is almost dominated by Duke Wei alone. If the Huo Palace is on his side, they can still resist, otherwise the gap is too big and it is difficult to confront.

The queen mother helplessly motioned to the maid next to her to get Ling Jiangyu to stand up, looked at the purple bamboo screen sharply and said, "Jiang Yu, do you still remember the origin of this purple bamboo screen? Five princes." Ling Jiangyu naturally knew that concubine Ji Shu was a quack girl whom his father knew outside the palace, and when he first entered the palace, he was almost the only favorite of the house, and his mother's queen position was almost at risk, and that concubine Shu was also up to date , and gave birth to the fifth prince in less than a year.The first emperor was so delighted that he even pardoned the world. This purple bamboo screen was paid as a tribute by the magistrate of Xianzhou at that time.If the fifth prince hadn't died of an illness early due to jealousy, and concubine Ji Shu was too sad to follow her, how could the throne fall to the emperor's elder brother.

"A tree is beautiful in the forest, but the wind will destroy it. Now you are protecting Lin Shu everywhere, do you think it is for her good?"

The Empress Dowager thought about what happened back then, and felt unbearable pain. There were three thousand concubines in the harem who loved her. She was a queen who survived in name only. She almost couldn't keep her own child. She couldn't help closing her eyes and shaking her head, "Are you The younger brother of the emperor and Yanran's fiancée, the courtiers are all looking at you. Now that you have wronged Yanran because of Lin Shu, how can the Huo Palace let it go?! How could they let Lin Shu go? How can the courtiers who are close to you support you!"
