Don’t Show the Son

Seeing that the imperial concubine, who had lost her appetite in the past few days, finished the lotus seed soup and ate two boxes of pastries brought by Lin Xiu, several imperial physicians looked at each other in blank dismay.

The condition of the imperial concubine's condition is really ups and downs, which is hard to fathom.

Anorexia doesn't seem to have that either.

And the imperial concubine was still depressed just now, but when someone appeared, she immediately became energetic.

Things are already obvious.

The reason why the imperial concubine's condition improved was the Jiangnan pastries brought by Lin Xiu.

As we all know, all the concubines in the harem are from noble families in Kyoto, but the imperial concubine is from the south of the Yangtze River and has not returned to her hometown for more than ten years. It is not surprising that she will feel homesick.

She was suffering from homesickness.

These foods from the imperial concubine's hometown just gave her spiritual comfort and eased her illness.

They had to admit that Lin Xiu had a way to treat the imperial concubine's illness.

Only Shuang Shuang looked at the imperial concubine and empress, with unbelievable eyes in her beautiful eyes.

She is also a woman, she faintly feels that what the imperial concubine misses is not the country, but the people.

What she suffers from is not anorexia, nor homesickness, but lovesickness.

The disease of lovesickness, when a lovesick person appears, will naturally heal without medicine.

The imperial concubine is suffering from lovesickness, and the person who loves it is not His Majesty.

It's incredible.

Neither the imperial concubine nor Brother Lin seemed to be aware of this matter.

As soon as this idea appeared in her mind, it was completely buried by her.

No matter whether her diagnosis is true or not, this matter must not be told to anyone.

The imperial concubine ate the whole two boxes of pastries by herself, wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and exclaimed: "The taste of this sweet-scented osmanthus cake is exactly the same as that made by the shop in front of Ben Gong's house when I was a child..."

This is of course, because Lin Xiu bought these sweet-scented osmanthus cakes from the street in front of Murong Mansion.

Lin Xiudao: "When Caiyi and I came back, we bought a lot of presents for the empress, and I will bring them when I come to Changchun Palace with her tomorrow."

The imperial concubine said: "Don't come tomorrow, I will go out of the palace to find you."

Lin Xiu thought about it, and thought it was good, anyway, it was convenient for the imperial concubine to go out of the palace, the environment in the palace was too depressing, and Caiyi didn't like to come here.

The imperial concubine had a look of expectation on her face, and she asked Lin Xiudao, "Where did you and Caiyi go to Jiangnan this time? Have you been to Fucheng?"

Lin Xiu smiled and said: "We have been to every place in Jiangnan. These pastries were bought in Fucheng. We also bought a house in Fucheng. We plan to live in Jiangnan for a period of time every year."

There was a hint of envy in the eyes of the imperial concubine, and then she asked with great interest what Lin Xiu had done with Caiyi when she went to Jiangnan this time. Lin Xiu picked out a few interesting things and told her about them. Those are indescribable...

In the end, there was really nothing to say, and the imperial concubine was still interested. Lin Xiu thought for a while and said, "When we were in Fucheng, some righteous men from the Tiandao League captured the father and son of the Zhang family in Jiangnan, and Yin Yin of Jiangnan. , Throwing them on the street early in the morning, these people oppressed the people on weekdays, and died at the hands of the people in the end, it can be regarded as retribution..."

The imperial concubine's eyes lit up, and she asked, "Really?"

Lin Xiu nodded and said, "Of course, this is what I saw with my own eyes."

The imperial concubine clenched her fists, gritted her teeth and said, "That's great, the Zhang family deserves their death!"

Lin Xiu was a little surprised, it was the first time he had seen the imperial concubine showing such hatred towards someone, could it be that there is something wrong between the Murong family and the Zhang family in the south of the Yangtze River?

Not long after, the imperial concubine covered her mouth and said, "I'm a little sleepy, I'm going to rest first, and I'll go out to see you tomorrow."

This also made the maids of the Changchun Palace happy. In the past month, the imperial concubine not only lost her appetite, but also didn't sleep very well.

The imperial concubine went back to her room to rest, and Lin Xiu also left.

When walking out of the harem, a voice suddenly came from behind: "Brother Lin, please stay."

Lin Xiu turned her head and smiled at Shuangshuang: "This time I came back from Jiangnan and brought you a gift, but I can't get it today, so I will bring it for you next time."

Shuang Shuang smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you Brother Lin."

Lin Xiu waved her hand and said, "You have saved me so many times, so you don't need to thank me."

After a while, Shuang Shuang walked side by side with him on the palace road, suddenly remembered something, and said: "By the way, Brother Lin, I called you to stop just now, and I wanted to tell you that in front of the imperial concubine, it is best not to mention the Zhang family."

Lin Xiu was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why?"

Shuangshuang explained: "The hometown of the imperial concubine is in the south of the Yangtze River. She has lived in the palace for a long time and has become ill from depression. In the past half a year or so, the situation has gotten better. Brother Lin may not know that the reason why the imperial concubine entered the palace is because of Zhang's family. It has a lot to do with it."

Lin Xiu was even more puzzled, and asked, "What does your empress's entry into the palace have to do with the Zhang family?"

Shuang Shuang said: "I also heard from the imperial physicians that at that time, the Zhang family in the capital wanted to marry the Murong family in Jiangnan. I entered the palace only because I didn't want to marry the Zhang family, so we don't mention the Zhang family on weekdays, so as not to make the empress unhappy..."

Lin Xiu didn't know at all before that the imperial concubine had such a past.

No wonder she hasn't been back to Murong's house once in so many years, presumably she has resentment towards the family in her heart.

How could someone as proud as her be willing to accept the family's political marriage?

The Murong family's decision will make her completely disappointed in the family.

However, the Murong family at that time probably had no other choice.

It was like Emperor Xia bestowing marriage on him and Zhao Lingjun, the Lin family and Zhao family could not resist the order.

The Zhang family wanted to marry the Murong family, but the Murong family could not resist.

Even the emperor can't resist the Zhang family, and needs to marry the daughter of the Zhang family as the queen, let alone a small family in the south of the Yangtze River.

In order not to marry into the Zhang family, she chose to become a noble concubine. No matter how arrogant the Zhang family is, they will not oppose the royal family in this matter.

After learning about this incident, Lin Xiu developed a feeling of sympathy for the imperial concubine.

They are all people who can't decide their own marriage.

The difference is that Lingjun is a good person, she doesn't mind Lin Xiu being with someone he likes, and even helps him take concubines.

But Emperor Xia is the emperor, and the emperor's concubine can only be a concubine forever.

Lin Xiu suddenly realized one thing, the relationship between the imperial concubine and His Majesty is not the same as that between him and Zhao Lingjun, right?

After making this assumption, things that he didn't understand before can be explained.

No wonder the imperial concubine was not angry when she saw His Majesty flirting with a pretty widow outside, but she offered to help him and let the pretty widow enter the palace.

His Majesty doesn't care at all if the imperial concubine goes out of the palace, or even spends the night outside the palace.

Among the one empress and four concubines, she is the only one who has no heirs.

It is said that the imperial concubine is a favorite concubine, and Emperor Xia is indeed very kind to her, but Lin Xiu has never seen him appear in Changchun Palace on weekdays. What kind of favorite concubine is this?

At this moment, all doubts in his heart were resolved.

Damn the Zhang family, they ruined the lifelong happiness of the imperial concubine and empress.

They let a girl whose heart was in the south of the Yangtze River live in seclusion in the deep palace of Kyoto for sixteen years.

This debt, he will get it back for the imperial concubine.

After returning to Beijing and seeing her parents, the first thing Lin Xiu looked at was the imperial concubine.

Then, he brought gifts and came to Xue's residence.

It's not that the imperial concubine is more important than Ning'er, it's just that when he comes to Xue's mansion, he must stay with her for a while, even at night, but in the harem, he can't stay for too long, he must leave before dark.

Xue Mansion.

In the innermost courtyard, as soon as Lin Xiu put down the gift, a beautiful figure flew towards him and threw herself into his arms. It had been a month since Xue Ning'er wanted to kiss her beloved passionately, but her lips had already moved together. , Suddenly there was an explosion in the yard.

"shut up!"

Old Duke Xue let out a stern voice, and separated the two at a critical moment.

Xue Ning'er bit her lip and said, "Grandpa, can we be alone for a while?"

Old Duke Xue snorted coldly: "No, you are not his, so please be more reserved."

Xue Ning'er could only sit at the table in an orderly manner. Lin Xiu opened a pastry box, picked up a piece of pastry, and put it into her mouth. Express dissatisfaction.

Lin Xiu didn't make progress either. At this moment, Xue Ning'er smiled and said to him, "In the future, I can protect you too..."

She stretched out her hand, and Lin Xiu's body suddenly lifted off the ground and floated in the air.

Lin Xiu was surprised and said, "You have reached a higher level!"

He is not surprised that Lingyin and Minghe stepped into the ground level, because they have already advanced to the upper level of the Xuan level, and they have enough accumulation. He is not surprised that Qin Wan stepped into the ground level, because she can treat Yuan Jing as a meal Eat, but Ning'er has only been promoted to the upper level of the mysterious rank for half a year, how come she is at the low rank?

Old Duke Xue snorted coldly and said, "Boy, I said before that if you don't work hard, you won't be worthy of my granddaughter."

Lin Xiu looked at Old Master Xue, then at Xue Ning'er, and seemed to understand something.

Old Duke Xue is at the Heaven rank, and Ning'er is at the Mystic rank. If a Heaven rank expert is willing to sacrifice his own cultivation base, he can forcibly elevate a person of Mystic rank to the Earth rank.

But almost no one does.

Because it's not worth it.

Which heaven-level powerhouse is willing to give up his own practice, just to create a ground-level, Xue Laogong really loves her, in terms of talent, Lingyin and Minghe are not inferior to Ning'er, they lose to those who do not have a heaven-level grandfather.

When Lin Xiu left Xue's house, it was already late.

When he came to the new house, the door was closed from the inside, which meant that Qin Wan was at home.

Lin Xiu didn't knock on the door, and the custom passed over the wall.

The light in Qin Wan's room was on, and the door was open. When Lin Xiu walked to the door, Qin Wan, who was reading a book, turned her head and glanced at Lin Xiu, her eyes gradually changed into resentment, and asked, "Do you know how many days I've had?" How did it go?"
