Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 3 Concubines Are Concubines After All

Marrying Lin Runyu, no matter how miserable it is, it won't be worse than the previous life!What's more, she knew that shortly after Huang Chenyan's death, the "dead" general Jingwu actually came back, and when she learned of her daughter's tragic death, a bloodbath started.

After marrying into Prince Lin's Mansion, Huang Chenyan should be able to wait until the general returns. In all fairness, she appreciates such a woman very much.Hope she does well!
"The daughter of the Jingwu family..." Ming Shengdi lowered his voice, thinking to himself, a lady general who has only a name in her name, no matter what, she will not be able to cause trouble, and match Lin Wang's son with such a glamorous and useless marriage , wouldn't it be wonderful.

"Forget it, I will grant this second marriage today!" Emperor Ming held his knees majestically, his sharp eyes swept across Lin Runyu and Huang Chenyan, "The son of Prince Lin is a suave son, the daughter of the Jingwu family. You are also heroic, you two are a good match!"

As soon as Ming Shengdi finished speaking, Bai Pingting's face immediately changed. She looked at the queen mother in panic, and silently called aunt with her lips.

The queen mother closed her eyes, although she was very dissatisfied with Bai Pingting's performance in front of the emperor today, but for the sake of the Bai family and for her position as queen mother to be more stable, she would help Bai Pingting.

"Your majesty is right, this girl Huang is naturally a good one, but the Ai family sees that Pingting is also a wonderful person, it's better for the Ai family to decide and give her to Prince Lin."

The Empress Dowager gave Bai Pingting a wink, she immediately acted shyly knowingly, and lowered her head to look at the patterns on the toes of her shoes.

"In ancient times, there was Emperor E and Nvying, and now there is Pingting Chenyan. The two of you married into Prince Lin's mansion together, which can be regarded as an inheritance of the past."

Ming Shengdi frowned slightly, obviously a little displeased with the Queen Mother's gift of marriage.

"According to Ai's family, there is no need to divide the main concubine and concubine. Since they are all given marriages, there is no need to favor anyone. You two are at the same age, so you can be a common wife."

The Empress Dowager narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly, and her delicate eyes swept over the two of them, saying it was a grace, but it carried the meaning of not being able to refuse.

Huang Chenyan bit her lips, raised her skirt and knelt down. She looked resolute, and she was not timid even in front of the emperor, she was quite like her father.

"The empress dowager is so kind, Chen Yan should be grateful, but it is impossible to ask the empress dowager to forgive me." She bowed deeply on the high platform, but her voice was extremely firm.

"My father is a man who serves the country faithfully and loyally. Since Chen Yan inherits his blood, he naturally follows his father's footsteps in doing his father's work. The love of children is no longer what we want in this life. Although my ministers and daughters are named Chen Yan, they can't tolerate sand in their eyes, and they don't want to be human. Wife Ping. Chenyan is willing to stay on the battlefield forever and defend this territory for the emperor!"

Huang Chenyan's oath resounded throughout the hall, Ming Shengdi's eyelids moved, and his heart was full of sadness. The loyal and resolute face that clasped his fists in front of him and said to guard the country for him flashed in front of his eyes, and he was always regretful.

"Okay, okay, the little daughter's family can have such determination, she is worthy of being the daughter of the Jingwu family!" Ming Shengdi waved his palm, motioning Huang Chenyan to stand up, "Since you don't want to, I don't want to be such a villain. Don't mention it."

The empress dowager was choked by this, and suddenly felt that she couldn't hold back her face, she kept silent with a cold face, but the hand that supported the palace man trembled slightly with anger.

King Lin only had to laugh with him from the beginning to the end. Emperor Shengming was jealous of him. If he refuted it, he would definitely make the suspicious Emperor Ming jealous.

Lin Runyu, on the other hand, did not have the forbearance of King Lin. When he heard Huang Chenyan's categorical words that he was not a flat wife, his face was already ugly.He is a majestic son with the appearance of Pan An, but today he was rejected by a woman twice in a row in the Golden Palace!

He clenched his fists, as if he had heard the faint laughter around him, it was nothing more than a man's embarrassment!
"Your Majesty, let me reconsider! Miss Huang doesn't want to be an ordinary wife, and I don't want to marry an ordinary wife. In my humble opinion, this short-lived mortal world, I only want to marry a wife, and I will be in harmony with her."

Lin Runyu uttered a silver robe, stood on top of the main hall and clasped his fists. It was rare for him to utter such an oath that was as deep as the ocean. Hypocritical posturing, he's done it well before.

But Huang Chenyan didn't have Xia Zijin's ability to understand his heart, she was even a little surprised, looked up at Lin Runyu's affectionate and lifeless appearance, and couldn't help feeling a little moved, there was such a dedicated person among the sons of the aristocratic family.

Ming Shengdi laughed out loud, amused by Lin Runyu's words, after all he was still young, a man with great ambitions, how could he cherish his whole life for such a matter of love?
"Since Prince Lin also said so, then I will be perfect!" Ming Shengdi waved his sleeves with bright yellow dragon patterns, and the five-clawed dragon that symbolized the pinnacle of power was embroidered with peacock thread.

"Huang Chenyan married Prince Lin's son as the main concubine, and Bai Pingting as the side concubine. We will get married on another day! How can I arrange this?"

Although Ming Shengdi used the words of inquiry, he used an affirmative tone. His voice was thick and powerful, and he scanned the crowd.

"The courtiers are determined by the emperor." Huang Chenyan nodded and saluted, and Lin Runyu's firm promise was engraved in her heart, which shook her heart that had been lonely for a long time.

"Thank you Lord Ron."

Everything is a foregone conclusion, even if the Empress Dowager's face is ashen, it is irreversible, this country, this court, the one who is in charge after all is the person in the dragon robe.

In the main hall of Shoukang Palace, the Empress Dowager is leaning on a cushion surrounded by brocade flowers, her eyes are closed, the sharp armor on her hand is like the blade of a dagger, sliding on the sandalwood armrest, making a piercing sound that makes the pores stand up .

The white nanny next to her has been with her for decades, so she didn't know that the queen mother was very angry. She fanned the queen mother slowly with a woven golden fan of feather cranes, and said with some seriousness: "Mother queen mother, can you Don't get so angry, the emperor must respect you too, the only one to blame is Miss Pingting who didn't live up to her expectations and failed to seize the opportunity given to her by the empress dowager..."

The Empress Dowager snorted coldly, and opened her wrinkled eyes. She is getting older, and her emotions are even more capricious than when she was young. She often makes her close servants tremble. Elderly people have to work hard every day.

"That useless girl is really a plan of the Bai family! There is no shortage of outstanding daughters in my Bai family. If she dies, new ones will naturally grow up!"

Bai Momo nodded in agreement, and said in a low voice, "Miss Pingting is still kneeling outside the hall, saying she wants to see the Empress Dowager..."

"What do you see? Those raised outside the palace are not as sensible as the ones in the palace. They shamelessly embarrass the Bai family. Since she is interested in Prince Lin's son, she should follow suit as a concubine!"

The queen mother's voice was not low, Bai Pingting heard it clearly from outside through the palace door, her face was pale, and her kneeling body trembled, if the queen mother didn't intervene, she was doomed to be a concubine. He is proud and arrogant, but he has to bow his head in front of the imperial power.

In the dark dark room, there are no windows on all sides, only a dim oil lamp is placed on the corner of the table, emitting a faint yellow light.

Xia Shengqing was kneeling on the cold lacquered stone floor. His upper body was naked, and there were scars like centipedes crawling on his back and chest, which was shocking.

With a bang, the three-finger-thick leather whip fell heavily on his upright back, and a bloodstain immediately leaked out. There were bursts of whip sound in the air, constantly beating Xia Shengqing's body.

"Do you still remember who made you like this! Do you remember!"

The man who was whipping with the whip repeated this sentence in a piercingly cold voice.

Xia Shengqing snorted, the pain on his back was no stranger to him, he clenched his fists in pain, but his kneeling body remained motionless.

"It's the Holy Emperor Ming."

The man nodded in satisfaction, but the movement of his hands did not stop. Ren Jiu whipped Xia Shengqing, and the sound of the whip piercing the air did not stop until No. 18.

On the other side, after the banquet, Xia Zijin went to the South Hall.Among the imperial palaces, the east hall is the most respected, where the emperor and his concubines live; the west hall is the second place, where the princes and unmarried princesses live; the north hall participates in politics, and only the south hall is the last, where eunuchs and maids, etc. The residence of the servants.

Xia Zijin walked all the way, carefully looking at the surrounding scenery and furnishings. In her previous life, she had never stepped into the scope of the South Palace. She didn't know that there was such a dull place in this magnificent palace.

Most of the people living in the South Hall are servants, so they are naturally simple, and there are very few elegant people like Xia Zijin who have curvaceous skirts to visit.Along the way, everyone couldn't help but look sideways, and those who knew something whispered to others, only saying that this was the princess who was betrothed to the eunuch at the palace banquet.

How noble a princess is, it is common sense to marry a prince or aristocrat, it is difficult for ordinary children to climb high, let alone a eunuch who has nothing under him!

Xia Zijin didn't care about those chattering voices at all, she moved lightly, only heading for Xia Shengqing's residence.

Xia Shengqing lived in the center of the South Hall, surrounded by rare broad-leaved trees, especially the lush green lotus field in front of the house, which added a bit of vitality.

"Interesting." Xia Zijin twitched the corners of her lips, a eunuch also likes to play with flowers and plants?
She stood in front of the door, knocking on the pineapple wooden door with her index finger, making three crisp sounds.

There was no movement in the room, Xia Zijin stretched out his hand and pushed again, and the wooden door creaked open.

no one?Xia Zijin was slightly puzzled, the banquet just ended, is he still serving the emperor?
Just as Xia Zi was feeling sad, footsteps could be heard from far behind her. She turned her head and saw Xia Shengqing walking away.

Xia Shengqing was also taken aback when he saw her, and he pulled up the collar without any trace, covering the welt marks all over his body.

"Why did the princess come here..."

Xia Zijin heard him smell it, but when he walked in, she smelled blood on the tip of her nose, which made her frown slightly.

"The imperial palace is so big, why do you allow me to stay here?" She blinked playfully, and leaned forward, actually getting closer to Xia Shengqing and smelling the bloody smell on his body.

Her bright face resembled the brightest red lotus in the lotus field, which made Xia Shengqing stunned for a moment.

"Cough cough, the princess was joking, it's windy outside, what orders do you have, let's talk in the room." Xia Shengqing coughed unnaturally, and made a gesture of invitation to the room.
