Chapter 15 Meeting
As the Mid-Autumn Festival approached, Lin Jiabao's mood became more and more depressed. Xuanyuan Hancheng looked at Lin Jiabao very distressed, but when he asked the baby, he always shook his head and remained silent.
Xuanyuan Hancheng actually knew what Lin Jiabao was thinking, and he must be thinking about seeing his family members on the Mid-Autumn Festival. He has also been waiting for Lin Jiabao to take the initiative to tell him for help, but he has not waited, it seems that his baby still does not trust him enough.
Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Seeing that Baby is still not going to mention meeting his family, Xuanyuan Hancheng sighed, "Babe, let's talk..."
Xuanyuan Hancheng didn't go to the inner study to deal with government affairs in the afternoon, but Pulling Lin Jiabao, who just woke up from a nap, to sit beside the bed.
"Baby, what do you want to say to me?" Xuanyuan Hancheng asked him.
Lin Jiabao shook his head.
Xuanyuan Hancheng raised the baby's small face to look at him, and asked, "Who am I?"
"Prince Hall..." Before Lin Jiabao could finish speaking, Xuanyuan Hancheng blocked his mouth. The words were swallowed in his mouth, Xuanyuan Hancheng stuck his tongue into Lin Jiabao's mouth, tumbling in his mouth, entangled with the baby's little sweet tongue.
Xuanyuan Hancheng reluctantly left Baby's small mouth, and asked again, "Baby, who am I? Who am I to you?"
"Sanggong... Jiabao's Xianggong" Lin Jiabao replied obediently.
"Very good! Baby, I'm your husband-in-law. Is there anything you can't tell him." Xuanyuan Hancheng remained silent when he saw Lin Jiabao, "You still don't believe in your husband-in-law..." "No..." Lin
Jiabao explain.
Xuanyuan Hancheng wrapped Lin Jiabao into his arms, "Baby, you need to know that there is nothing your husband can't do."
Xuanyuan Hancheng kissed Lin Jiabao on the cheek, and asked gently: "But want to see your family? "
Lin Jiabao nodded vigorously when he heard the word family, and tears fell down instantly. "Think! Think!"
Xuanyuan Han kissed Lin Jiabao's tears, "Don't cry baby, I will definitely let you see your family tomorrow..." "
But...but... palace rules..." Lin Jiabao spoke with a teary tone.
"Okay...okay, don't cry, my baby. You see, you've been worried these days, and you've eaten less. My heart aches for you. You should tell your husband if you have anything in the future. Your husband can help you solve any difficult problems, you know?" Xuanyuan Hancheng hugged Lin Jiabao, comforted his back, and whispered softly in his ear.
"I... I see, Mr. Xiang is so kind!" Lin Jiabao reached out and hugged Xuanyuan Hancheng.
Xuanyuan Hancheng was very happy that Lin Jiabao took the initiative to hug him, "Don't keep any difficulties in your heart, you know?" "
No, it won't happen in the future." Lin Jiabao promised.
"Tomorrow will be arranged by Yuanfu and the others, you don't have to worry about it." Xuanyuan Hancheng lovingly kissed Jiabao's crying red nose.
On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lin Dazhuang, Lin Jiawen and Qin Kaixing waited in front of the gates of the five outer palaces. Many family members of the palace people have gathered at the gate of the palace.
When the time came, the palace gate opened, and a team of guards came out to maintain order. The head of the guards began to report the name of the palace, and every time a palace name was reported, a group of palace people would be released.
After the palace people came out, they looked for their family members one after another. Some saw their family members and ran over immediately, and some hugged each other and cried and laughed. Everyone was very envious. The family members who hadn't waited all listened to the head of the guards report the name of the palace with their ears pricked up. Lin Jiawen and the others waited for half an hour, and finally heard the name of Yongshou Palace reported by the head of the guards. The three of Lin Jiawen stretched their necks and looked towards the gate of the palace, and kept looking. Until the head of the guards reported another palace name, Lin Jiabao still hadn't been seen. After waiting for a while, Lin Jiabao was still missing, and Lin Dazhuang became a little anxious. "Why isn't Jiabao coming out yet?" Qin Kaixing said to Lin Dazhuang, "Father-in-law, don't worry, I'll ask."
Seeing that the leader of the guards had stopped signing up at this time, Lin Dazhuang and the other three walked over upon seeing this.
"Master Guard, may I ask if all the palace people of Yongshou Palace have come out?" Qin Kaixing stepped forward and asked.
The leader of the guards glanced at the three of them and said, "It's been out for a long time."
Lin Dazhuang was a little anxious after hearing this, "But there is something missing? My child hasn't come out yet?"
Qin Kaixing stuffed the leader of the guards with a bag of money, "Master Guard, can you check for us? My younger brother sent a letter saying that he is working in Yongshou Palace." The
leader of the guards then looked at the roster, "Everyone in Yongshou Palace has been released, what's your brother's name? "
My younger brother's name is Lin Anzhu in the palace, please ask the guard to help us take a look." Lin Jiawen asked.
"Lin Anzhu... there is no such name in the list of Yongshou Palace, but I remembered it wrong?" The head of the guards showed them the list of Yongshou Palace.
Lin Jiawen took a quick look, and there was indeed no brother's name. Also very anxious, how come there is no brother's name? Mingming wrote clearly in the letter that he was working in the Empress's Yongshou Palace.
The leader of the guards thought for a while and said to them: "Maybe they have been transferred to another palace. Wait a minute. There are still a few palace people who will come out later." Which palace man, but Lin Anzhu's name is somewhat familiar, as if he has heard it somewhere.
After hearing this, Lin Dazhuang and the others had no choice but to thank him, and continued to wait aside, all three of them felt a little uneasy.
After a while, a little eunuch ran to the gate of the palace and showed the palace plaque to the head of the guards for inspection, and then said a few more words, only to see the head of the guards pointing at the place where Lin Dazhuang and the three of them were standing. I saw the little eunuch running towards them.
"The three are Lin Anzhu's family members?" Yuan Qing asked out of breath.
"We are Lin Anzhu's family, may I ask if there is any delay for my brother?" Lin Jiawen asked Yuan Qing.
"Yes, please follow me, you three. This is not a place to talk." Yuan Qing said vaguely at first, motioning for Lin Dazhuang and the others to follow him.
The three of Lin Dazhuang had some doubts in their hearts, so they followed Yuan Qing away. Afterwards, Yuan Qing took them to a large restaurant, Yuan Qing showed a small token to the shopkeeper, and then they were greeted by the shopkeeper to Room No. 1 in Tianzi.
This Tianzi No. 1 room is very large, with two rooms inside and outside. There is this big round mat in the outer one, which can seat ten people. The one inside is a meeting place, which is exquisitely and elegantly furnished, and the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall are from the hands of famous masters. After Yuan Qing invited the three of Lin Dazhuang to sit down, Lin Jiawen couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "My father-in-law, why did you
bring us here?"
Then I can see Xiaozhu Lin." Yuan Qing said in a gentle and polite manner.
"Lin Xiaozhu?" Lin Dazhuang, Lin Jiawen, and Qin Kaixing were all surprised when they heard this, and they all exclaimed.
"The three of you don't know yet. The young master of Lin An Bamboo Forest was bestowed by the empress on the fifth day of last month to His Highness the Crown Prince as a servant. Now that young master Lin has entered the Royal Jade Butterfly, isn't she the young master? Xuzhou Pei The county is relatively far away, so the news has been delayed, and I'm afraid that the news has not been reported there yet." Yuan Qing explained.
The three of Lin Dazhuang were shocked when they heard the news about Yuan Qing.
"How could it be? How could it be like this? Jiabao is too young! This..." Lin Dazhuang stood up uncontrollably. His precious Shuang'er actually became the prince's servant, Lin Dazhuang was not happy when he heard this, but was very sad. Although the prince is no better than others, the servant is actually equivalent to the servant girl of a wealthy family. Alas... The crown prince is the future emperor, and he will belong to the Sixth Court of Sangong in the future. How will Jiabao's life be in the future... Why is Jiabao's life so miserable...
Both Lin Jiawen and Qin Kaixing also had turbulent waves in their hearts. Lin Jiawen remembered Qian Qingkun's story about His Royal Highness the Prince's love affair, and he laughed it off at the time and didn't take it to heart. Unexpectedly, this little servant is his younger brother. His younger brother is just over 14 years old, so young, and he looks cute and cute, but he is definitely not one of the outstanding ones compared to all the beauties in the court. My younger brother was very innocent and kind since he was a child, and he didn't have any scheming. It's just that the wives and concubines of ordinary people are constantly fighting for favor, let alone the royal family at the top of power. How will this be able to adapt to the intriguing life in the court in the future. Lin Jiawen was deeply worried about this. Qin Kaixing was also amazed, he didn't expect his brother-in-law Shuang'er to be so lucky. He won the favor of the Empress and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. But thinking of Lin Jiabao's temper, he was also very worried. Yuan Qing looked at the sad looks of the three people, fearing that they might misunderstand, and said to them: "Don't worry, you three, Xiaozhu Lin is doing very well in the Prince's East Palace. His Royal Highness likes Xiaozhu Lin very much. That is really frightening, and this has never happened to anyone else. Lin Xiaozhu is now the number one person in our crown prince's east palace." Lin Dazhuang and the others didn't feel relieved after hearing what the little father-in-law said . More worried. They all waited silently for Lin Jiabao's arrival. Xuanyuan Hancheng came back with Yuan Fu after the morning court, and just before he arrived at Pingle Garden, he saw Jiabao waiting for him with his head stretched out at the gate of the courtyard. Xuanyuan Hancheng laughed lightly, ever since Jiabao knew that he could meet his family, he has been in a state of excitement. It took him a long time to coax him to sleep last night. Today, he was looking forward to his arrival outside again. This was a treatment he had never had before, and he felt a little jealous when he thought about it. Lin Jiabao was dressed up very nicely today, Shu Ya and Shu Qing knew that the young master was going to meet his family today, so they specially dressed up for him. Lin Jiabao is wearing a royal blue dress today, with beautiful embroidery patterns on it, and the cuff buttons and neckline are all trimmed with gold thread. It made his skin crystal clear and dazzling. Lin Jiabao's hair was tied with a jade hairpin, and a belt around his waist was dotted with gemstones of various colors. He looks like a real rich boy.
Xuanyuan Hancheng looked at Lin Jiabao and couldn't take his eyes off, "Baby is so well dressed today. The clothes from Jinxiufang are nice, let's make some more next time." "No."
Shu Qing and Shu Ya replied in unison.
Jinxiufang is a clothing workshop for the royal family. There are many embroiderers from all over the country who are outstanding in embroidery work. They specialize in making clothes for the emperor, queen, and prince. Only people with high status in the palace are eligible to enjoy this treatment, while ordinary concubines and nobles can only be prepared by the Clothing Bureau of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Since Lin Jiabao was by his side, Xuanyuan Hancheng let Jiabao enjoy the best of everything. The queen is in charge of the harem phoenix seal, so she naturally knows what Xuanyuan Hancheng has done and understands his intentions. Therefore, it has never interfered with the needs of Pingle Garden. This has deep meaning in the eyes of everyone in the palace, as long as you are not stupid, you will understand how much Lin Jiabao is loved by the empress and His Royal Highness. This time when Lin Jiabao left the palace, Xuanyuan Hancheng sent Yuan Fu to follow Lin Jiabao, and arranged for two guards to escort him, plus the original two hidden guards beside Jiabao. The meeting place was in the Fuyuan Building in the Imperial City, which was also the property of his subordinates, so there shouldn't be any problem. Lin Jiabao and Xuanyuan Han got into the carriage, and the carriage slowly drove towards the palace gate, and left the palace smoothly. "Today, my baby can be reunited with my family for a day, and I will come back after having dinner with my family. How is it, are you happy?" Xuanyuan Hancheng and Lin Jiabao said softly, interlocking their fingers. "Really? Great? I haven't seen them for a long time, I miss them so much. I have a lot to say to them." I don't know which family members will come to see him today. "As long as you're happy." Xuanyuan Hancheng kissed Lin Jiabao's little mouth. Lin Jiabao is very used to Xuanyuan Hancheng's kisses now, and sometimes he will learn to respond to him, the baby's initiative will always make Xuanyuan Hancheng very happy. The carriage soon stopped at the entrance of Fuyuan Building, "Go, I'll let Yuan Fu follow you, and I'll pick you up in the evening." Xuanyuan Hancheng and Yuan Fu ordered: "Be careful and wait, don't make any mistakes. " No. Please rest assured, His Royal Highness." Yuan Fu helped Lin Jiabao out of the carriage, followed by two guards into the restaurant.
Lin Jiabao followed Yuan Fu to Tianzi No. 1 room, and pushed open the door excitedly. Lin Jiabao finally saw the family he had been thinking about for the past two years.
"Father! Big brother! Big brother-in-law!" Lin Jiabao hugged his father when he saw them going up. "Jiabao misses you so much!"
"Jiabao, we miss you too, let dad take a good look at you." Lin Dazhuang, a stout man, also had slightly red eyes.
The whole family was very excited when they met, and it took a long time to calm down.
Yuan Fu and Yuan Qing saw the opportunity to leave, leaving only two guards guarding the door.
After the outsiders had left, Lin Dazhuang couldn't wait to ask: "Jiabao, how have you been these two years? How did you become His Royal Highness's servant?" "
I have had a good two years, but I miss you very much." Lin Jia Bao told him about his general situation from entering the palace to the present, and he didn't know how he became the servant of His Highness the Crown Prince. "For some reason, I received the imperial edict from the empress, and then became the servant of His Royal Highness."
Lin Jiawen looked at his younger brother Jiabao, he couldn't explain clearly, and sighed secretly in his heart, "His Royal Highness, he... How are you?"
"Yes! His Royal Highness is treating me well!" Lin Jiabao nodded vigorously. His Royal Highness the crown prince is Jiabao's husband, and he said he likes him very much, and he also likes him very much.
Lin Jiawen felt more and more uncomfortable seeing his younger brother's admiration for His Highness the Crown Prince. Lin Jiabao is still young, he doesn't understand what it means to be the prince's servant. The younger brother is simple-minded, and he looks like he regards His Royal Highness as the husband-in-law of an ordinary family. " Qin Kaixing looked at the look in Lin Jiabao's eyes when he talked about His Royal Highness, and sighed in his heart. The child may have fallen into it. You must know that Lin Jiabao is young and cute and is very popular with the prince, but it will be hard to say in the future. Lin Jiabao is a twin again... Lin Dazhuang thought for a while and asked Lin Jiabao, "Prince... His Highness, are there many women around him? " Lin Jiabao was stunned after hearing this, and said blankly: "Woman? "
"Does His Royal Highness have many concubines?" Seeing Lin Jiabao's appearance, Lin Dazhuang was very anxious for him.
"I don't know how many, I haven't seen it before." Lin Jiabao thought for a while and answered.
"What about the Crown Princess? Have you seen it before?" Lin Jiawen also asked after hearing this.
"I haven't seen it. His Royal Highness said that the Crown Princess is ill and there is no need to see her." Lin Jiabao also asked His Royal Highness if he would go to the Crown Princess to pay his respects. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that all he had to do was to pay his respects to the Empress.
"This... this is not in line with common sense." Lin Jiawen and Qin Kaixing looked at each other in blank dismay.
"However, His Royal Highness often takes me to greet the Empress." Lin Jiabao thought for a while and said again.
Lin Dazhuang, Lin Jiawen and Qin Kaixing all nodded their heads, it was more important to greet the empress.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, "Master Lin, it's time for lunch. Let's eat with my family first." Yuan Fu came in and saluted Lin Jiabao.
"Okay." Lin Jiabao responded.
Then, under Yuan Qing's quick arrangement, a table full of dishes appeared in front of them.
After finishing everything, they left quickly. "Please take it easy, my lord."
After they left, Lin Dazhuang and the three of them swept away the constraints just now and talked to Lin Jiabao, and gradually relaxed.
Lin Jiabao and the others had lunch together and chatted again. Lin Jiabao told them what he would do every day in the Prince's East Palace.
Lin Jiawen and the others were also very pleased to hear that His Highness the Crown Prince specially asked a famous scholar to teach Lin Jiabao to learn calligraphy and painting. It seems that His Highness the Crown Prince really likes Jiabao.
Lin Jiabao also asked his father and brother-in-law about what happened at home. I was very happy to hear that my eldest brother-in-law said that my eldest sister gave birth to a pair of twins last year. I also learned that my eldest brother was admitted as a scholar at the beginning of this year, and my sister-in-law will give birth next month. I wonder if it is a nephew or a niece? Thinking about it, I'm really happy for my brother...
Lin Jiabao heard from his father that the money he brought back was used to expand the house and buy fields. Daddy and the others talked about every little thing about the family, and Lin Jiabao listened with great interest.
The happy time of reunion is always very short. Not long after dinner, Yuan Fu knocked on the door and reported, "It's getting late. The carriage to pick up Lin Xiaozhu has arrived." Lin Jiabao and Lin Dazhuang were reluctant to
leave Say goodbye at the door of the restaurant. Yuan Qing stepped forward to help Lin Jiabao get into the carriage. After Lin Jiabao got into the carriage, he found that His Royal Highness was also there. Xuanyuan Hancheng looked at the baby's red eyes and opened the curtain for him. Lin Jiabao stuck his head out of the carriage window. They waved goodbye to their father.
The three of Lin Dazhuang also waved to Lin Jiabao, watching the carriage slowly drive away, gradually drifting away. He didn't let go of his hand until he could no longer see the carriage.
"His Royal Highness...it seems to be in a carriage just now..." When Lin Jiawen saw Lin Jiabao getting into the carriage just now, there was a tall and tall man in the carriage. And that man should be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...
Lin Dazhuang and Qin Kaixing were very surprised when they heard this. They were so busy saying goodbye to Jiabao just now that they didn't notice. His Royal Highness...they were so close to the future emperor of the Xuanyuan Empire...
