Chapter 712

The 60th dragon scale (V)

Mei bin has no objection to this punishment. Although she didn't know why the queen wanted to punish herself like this, she knew that it was better to be banned than to appear in public. Banning feet meant that she couldn't come out and others couldn't go in. In this way, the possibility of accidents was greatly reduced. But... Mei bin glanced at Linglong again. She thought the little queen would be angry and jealous, but she didn't think that she was still so generous.

When she returned to her palace, the close maid whispered, "madam, why do you bother to come? Let the queen punish you in public, and others will laugh at you again. "

"Jokes are jokes. I'm not afraid." Mei bin, with her mother's radiance on her face, gently stroked her stomach, "who told me that I had a baby in my stomach. By the way, the officials will certainly come to see me later. Change my clothes and dress up quickly. I don't look very good today. "

She knows the truth of hiding her power and biding her time. There are two big Buddhas, Princess Lu and the queen, and four imperial concubines pressing her. She doesn't need to show up at all. She just lives a good life in her own palace. So every time she goes to greet her, she dresses up very inconspicuously, never wears bright jewelry on her head, nor does she wear delicate makeup.

Mei bin came from an ordinary background. Her biological father was just a six grade junior official. After she entered the palace, she also wanted to compete for favor like others. However, her background was not obvious, her appearance was only middle and upper, and she had no talent. What should she compete for? There are so many imperial concubines in the official family. The Yan is thin and fat. How can she compete?

Later, Mei bin found that if she didn't fight, she could be loved by the officials.

After the little queen entered the palace for half a year, the officials had never set foot in the harem. Mei bin wanted to see him, but she couldn't. The Queen managed the harem in order. Like her, the concubines couldn't know the whereabouts of the officials and spy on the emperor as before. If the queen knew, she would be punished.

Fortunately, soon after the little queen entered the palace, Mei bin realized that she was pregnant. She has had three children and is very familiar with the reaction to pregnancy. But the queen is being favored. Who wants to be the first bird? Didn't you see that concubine Zhao Xian was cleaned up? Even the domineering concubine Lu had to hold her tail in front of the little queen.

But the time is getting longer and longer. It has been half a year. It seems that the officials can't remember themselves. Mei bin thought to test the hearts of the officials again.

Today, although she wears loose clothes and skirts, she uses a waist seal. The waist seal is not obvious when standing, but it is very fat when sitting. When the queen passes in front of her, she will see that it was expected by Mei bin, and she first sent someone to send a message to father Mao around the official family that she was pregnant. Mei bin believes that although this move is somewhat irregular, But officials will cover up for themselves.

Sure enough, before the queen could do anything, the officials came.

Mei Bin's heart was as sweet as honey. She knew that the officials loved her. Seeing those broken and bleeding concubines fighting for love, Mei bin even had a sense of pride. You see, you've been intriguing all day, but you can't get anything. I don't do anything. The officials still come to me. Rao is the concubine Lu who killed many concubines and killed many unborn dragons. So far, isn't she childless? But she gave birth to two sons and a daughter for the official family. Who can guarantee that she will not become the Empress Dowager in the future?

Most of the concubines in the palace are more beautiful than her, more talented than her and better than her family background, but they are not as important as her in the hearts of the officials. This alone is enough for Mei bin to despise everyone.

Therefore, she was obedient, but she didn't think how unique the little queen was. Now she is favored because of her noble family background, but the little queen, like Princess Lu, is too good to have children.

What future can a harem woman without a son have?

But Mei bin changed her pomegranate skirt and ordered exquisite makeup, but she waited left and right, and couldn't wait to come to the official house. She sent the maid of honor around her to inquire. The empress of banzhuxiang came back and said that the officials had gone fishing with the empress!

Mei bin couldn't believe it: "you said that the official family and the official family went fishing with the queen?"

How is this possible?!

Why didn't the officials come to see her?!

The maid in waiting lowered her head and shrunk her neck: "go back to your mother, yes, yes."

Mei bin held back her anger. She would never break the vase and push the table again. Every move in the palace could not escape the sight of the officials. If she was different, how could she be loved by the officials? He sat at the table weeping and had a stomach, which was very pitiful.

The officials, holding a fishing rod, sat upright and looked at the little queen around them from time to time, but they saw that she was a big fish and a big fish. The bucket was full, but his bucket was empty

It's a shame. He even lost fishing?

The officials felt that Feng Shui must be bad, so they took the initiative to change sides with Linglong. Linglong has no objection, but after changing the side, the officials still can't catch a fish, but those fish bite Linglong's bait like crazy, and the buckets around her are not enough!

Finally, she threw the fishing rod: "it's boring. I'm going back."

The officials quickly lost their fishing rod and quickly caught up with her. There was nothing unhappy about her, but he just felt that she should be unhappy. Thinking of Mei bin, he was a little guilty, so he cleared his throat and said, "Linglong, don't be angry with me. Mei Bin's body... Was before you entered the palace."

"Yes." Linglong nodded. "Calculate the day, which is about half a month before I entered the palace? Should have been ready for the wedding then? The official family is ready to welcome his wife and sleep happily with his concubine. It's really comfortable. I envy it. "

Emperor Cheng Wu was big. He followed Linglong and tried to explain to her: "Mei bin is gentle and never competes with others. She is superior to others in my heart. However, since you entered the palace, only you are left in my heart..."

"Don't be afraid of officials." Linglong stopped and patted the official's chest, "I don't mean to blame you. You are the emperor. Three palaces and six courtyards are ordinary. This folk man wants to get a little wife with a few money, not to mention the official? I just want to make it clear to the officials that I can understand, but I can't accept it. After I entered the palace, when did the officials go to stay in other people's palace? Don't come to me again in the future. Like my mother, I heard that you had two intentions, so we came to make a decision. It's also good for us to be the empress emperor who respects each other. "

Pei Xiang's wife is known by the officials. Mr. Yixiao's only daughter died of weakness shortly after giving birth to Linglong. However, I'm sorry for the entanglement between her and Pei Xiang. The officials have no habit of peeping into the private affairs of the minister's family.

"Say it again." Linglong smiled, "I didn't expect much from the officials."

Her words confused the officials, "huh? What do you mean? "

"You want to." Linglong began to be serious and reasonable, "before I agreed to enter the palace, I had never met you before. I don't know what you look like. I only know that I am 20 years older than me. In my twenties and eighties, it's difficult to marry someone in my thirties who is older than my father. Do you think I entered the palace with love? In that case, the officials are too narcissistic. "

An official's heart was suddenly shot into a hornet's nest.

"So... That's it." Linglong stalled, "I just don't want to stay in the prime minister's residence. It's the same in another place. If the officials are tired of me one day and want to go to the plum concubine palace of Lu Guifei, let the Jingshi room inform me."

For the first time in my life, I heard my wife say it doesn't matter if I'm willing to respect him like a guest. For a while, my outlook on life was broken. I stood in place for a long time. Finally, I extracted the central idea from the exquisite long speech: who I love, I don't serve.

He quickly caught up with the little queen who had gone far: "how can you talk to me like this?"

"I'm such a person. The officials don't know. They want face. I believe concubine Lu, Mei bin, Zhao Bin and others will be willing to hold your smelly feet. Go and have a try."

It's all in this tone. You still say you're not angry? Emperor Cheng Wu had another joy in her heart. She clearly liked herself to say such words. She immediately followed Linglong. Fortunately, she was 20 years older than her. She had the right to coax her children and could say anything.

They went back to the bedroom all the way, and there was nothing wrong with Mei bin.

Speaking of not fighting or robbing... Who can be more competitive than the queen? What's more, they are not only the official wife, but also a young and beautiful little wife, which has natural advantages.

And because Mei bin was pregnant with a dragon seed, she was punished and banned. Although the queen was kind and gave a lot of things, the officials didn't give anything, not even a look. Mei bin shut herself in the temple and cried for a long time. Finally, she thought of her body, which forced her to stop crying and have a rest.

I thought I could see the officials several times a month as before, but because I was banned, the officials didn't come at all

Princess Lu didn't sleep well all night. She hates it! She hated Meibin for having a child several times, but she couldn't give birth to it. Now that she is so old, the less grace, the less possibility of pregnancy!

So the next day when she came back to ask Linglong for peace, Princess Lu applied a thick powder on her face to cover her dark circles and fatigue. She felt uncomfortable and didn't want others to feel better, especially the little queen sitting on the throne with a proud face: "it's a great joy that Mei bin is pregnant. The empress should have made plans as early as she is young."

She said so, but she thought maliciously in her heart, little bitch, she has been in the palace for half a year and has been spoiled almost every night, but so far there has been no movement in her belly. I'm afraid she can't live! If you can't live, you dare to occupy the official family! What a shame!

Linglong took a sip of tea and nodded: "as Princess Lu said, I should have 20 years to live. Who told me I was only 16 this year? The days are coming. "

Hearing that concubine Lu almost died of anger, the other concubines also changed their faces. Qi Qi was stabbed in the pain. Yes, the little queen is only 16 this year... I don't know how many years younger than them!

In fact, Linglong doesn't like to satirize people with age. She doesn't think people in their 30s and 40s are very old, but these people have to come to find something. They have suffered losses many times, but they can't remember. She has to attack their weaknesses.

"Princess Lu's makeup is not good today. The fine lines in the corners of her eyes are not covered. She still needs more maintenance." Linglong sighed and looked like a pity. "I heard that the imperial concubine was gorgeous, but she was past her best age. It's a pity that I didn't see her."

Princess Lu was so angry that she almost fainted. She said to her that there were a hundred sentences waiting for her! And stabbed her lung tube!

At the end of the greeting, Princess Lu was the first to leave. She was so angry that her body was shaking. Looking at her distant back, Linglong couldn't help but be happy: "look at this man. He was like a cockfight. After eating □ □ everyone wanted to peck. However, she pecked and pecked again. She had to run away in frustration."

Sheng Jin Baoyin looks big on the side. Their girls, let alone the prime minister's house or the Imperial Palace, are good at pulling hatred. They can itch people's teeth with one mouth.

However, concubine Lu's words attracted Sheng Jin: "madam, what the concubine said is not unreasonable. You are just a good age. You still have to have a child under your knee to be stable."

Linglong asked, "do I need a child to prove my value?"

"That's not what you say, madam. You see, the imperial concubines in the harem have more confidence than those without sons, and those with daughters have more confidence than those without children." Hugging silver, she said softly, "don't drill a bull's horn. The officials love you so much. If you have children, you will love them like a treasure."

With that, she saw her mother smack her mouth, looked at her with an indescribable look on her face, hugged silver and asked, "what's wrong?"

Linglong lovingly stroked her dog's head: "don't think about it, it's impossible."

However, Princess Lu is a little annoyed. She has to find something to do for her. It is estimated that in two days, Ding LAN will be able to reach the capital. To tell the truth, Linglong wants to meet the fun and interesting Lvqiao and Ding LAN more than intriguing with these women who have only men in their minds.

When you enter the palace, you naturally ask for nothing more than family glory or wealth. But when you enter the palace, it's ridiculous to ask the emperor for high morality and high standards. As early as the moment they enter the palace, concubines should know that no one will love you.

Unfortunately, these women only know how to fight for favor and put their hearts into it. How can they not make mistakes? It's better to just seek wealth, see clearly, and retreat.

It's really stupid to put all your heart on others, Linglong said.

There may be eternal love and righteousness in the world, but it will never be on the emperor, especially on the emperor.

He likes beauty, but beauty and the country, he will always choose the latter first.

Two days later, Linglong met Ding LAN as she wished.

Green Qiao came into the palace with Ding LAN. Ding LAN didn't dress up deliberately. She was dressed in coarse cloth and didn't apply powder. Her face was facing the sky. Her appearance was beautiful and not outstanding, but she had a unique temperament, especially capable, and her eyes were very calm and divine.

She was a little nervous when she saw such a high figure as the queen for the first time, but she could see that she had seriously studied etiquette. The salute was like a model. Linglong gave her a seat, and she didn't refuse. It was so refreshing and neat. It was like Lvqiao, which made people feel good.

God knows that Linglong is really annoyed by those pretentious women who are so cold and weak when a gust of wind blows!

Many times, she felt that she was hard, her fist was hard, and she was ready to beat people.

Ding Lan was also very nervous. After she came to this world, the first person she saw was Lao Wuzuo in Sanping County - she was her uncle, kind and good-natured. Ding Lan was raised by her uncle when she lost her mother when she was young. Her uncle and nephew depend on each other. With her help, there is no unjust case in Sanping county. Her uncle doesn't want her to do anything at all, but Ding LAN insists that she used to be an experienced old forensic doctor. Now she can resume her old career, which is not a waste of life.

After several years in this world, Ding LAN has become more and more aware of the backward autopsy methods and skills of this dynasty. She doesn't know how many unjust, false and wrong cases have been brewed. Therefore, she has become the most frequent borrower in Sanping county. Later, she inadvertently met Lvqiao. Only then can she really see a person who doesn't discriminate, dislike or avoid herself.

Although he is also in the public sector, he is not as respected as other public officials. On the contrary, everyone avoids and feels unlucky. Ding LAN feels that the industry is neither noble nor humble. If there is no work to redress the grievances of the dead, how can there be a prosperous era of Qingming?

Lvqiao begged Linglong for a favor and went to Ding Lan's cheap book. Now Ding LAN is a good citizen. This is the only person in this dynasty who acts as a good people in the public gate.

Sheng Jin Baoyin listened to his scalp numb and looked at his mother with relish and no fear. They almost held each other and trembled. Miss Ding... It's too meat and vegetables to avoid. How can you tell me something about the pickle in front of your mother?!

Although Ding LAN doesn't feel humble, she also knows that in this era, she must be a humble person. If she didn't have Lvqiao's help, to tell the truth, she may not be able to live up to now. Wuzuo is humble, and female Wuzuo is unprecedented. She has been treated coldly all the way and has long been used to it. Originally, she was afraid to frighten the charming lady, but she didn't think that she was very excited. Ding Lan also said that she was addicted. In addition, Lvqiao, who used to talk a lot, saw her little queen sitting cross legged on the carpet with two women when the official came back. The three people formed a circle with several plates of melons and fruits in the circle. They were chatting while eating melon seeds!

He didn't bother at first. He also wanted to listen to what he was talking about, which could make his little queen smile. When he listened carefully, his face turned green

When the stomach of the deceased was cut open, he found that he had eaten indigestible mushrooms before his death, so he determined which restaurant he had eaten in? A pregnant woman with a stillborn fetus was dissected and took out the fetus. She found that the mother and son died of poisoning? The organs of the corpse of the giant view were swollen and smelled bad, which made all the public officials present vomit. Since then, they haven't eaten for three days???

What did you tell the queen!

"Zitong!"

He shouted Linglong. When he saw emperor Cheng Wu, Lvqiao hurriedly pulled Ding LAN up. They knelt down and saluted in good order: "I've seen the official family!"

The officials ignored them. They just thought that the two women were extremely hateful. They actually told Linglong about these bloody and frightening things. They directly pulled Linglong to her side and held her small hand for fear of frightening her. Ouch, look at this small hand. It's cold... Eh? Not cold at all? Even warm?!

The official family was in a complicated mood. After listening to it outside for a while, he felt disgusted. But looking at the posture of the little queen, he was not afraid, but addicted

"You two get up." Linglong first asked Lvqiao and dinglan to get up, and then said, "I'll be here first today. I'll see you tomorrow."

The second daughter left, and Linglong called them all before she left, "the five scented melon seeds and gold, go and bring some back to the two girls."

Lvqiao dinglan's eyes lit up at once. She had to say that although the rules in the court were strict, the things were really delicious, especially the Spiced melon seeds. She didn't know how to fry them. Anyway, she couldn't stop eating. Her mother was really a good person!

When the unattractive person left, the official held the little hand in the palm of his hand. They sat down along the bed. He bowed his head and kissed his pink face: "look at you, it's so good to listen so attentively? Don't scare you. What about having nightmares at night? "

Linglong said, "I'm not afraid."

With that, she looked up: "the officials, Ding LAN and Lvqiao, are people with real skills, but because they are women, they are despised. Lvqiao is the daughter of Hou's house. It's still OK, but Ding Lan's cheap origin makes people look down on her. Do you have any way?"

The officials pondered for a moment: "... They only said that these two people have skills, but they can't convince the public. Since the founding of our Dynasty, we haven't had a deep bondage on women, but since the first emperor, Confucian scholars thought that women shouldn't appear in public, and then a smile stressed that women should pay attention to virtue, speech, work and appearance..."

"Hum." Linglong Leng hum, "my grandfather is an old fool. He only cares about his reputation. Where does he care about the life and death of his daughter and granddaughter?"

Maybe the old man taught countless capable people, peaches and plums all over the world, but Linglong still didn't like him.

Mr. Yixiao is pedantic and rigid, and he is also very strict with his daughter. He demands everything from three obediences and four virtues. The water poured by his married daughter is not from his family. Even when he is dead, Mr. Yixiao has never questioned Peixiang. Pei Xiang took a concubine, which is even more natural. As for Mr. Yixiao himself, because he was famous, he resigned early, traveled all over the world and mentioned Mr. Yixiao. Who doesn't praise his reputation?

He will live with his good reputation all his life!

From Linglong's memory, she only met Mr. Yixiao several times. Every time she met, the old man must have told her to follow her father at home, to be friendly with her sisters and respect her stepmother, so that the whole family can be happy... Linglong Quan thought he was farting. She was more deviant than others when she urinated. She didn't like to listen to those great principles and didn't like to follow them, I really want to treat Guan Pei Baozhu as the old man said. Now the grass on her grave must be two people tall!

The officials coughed softly, let alone exquisite. He still can't stand the old man's nagging, but the old man has a high seniority, and he can't say anything. Therefore, the officials were greatly relieved when the old man resigned and became an official.

Fully and delightfully, he is praised by his fellow people for his conduct and scholarship. Even the officials have no one to talk to each other. Now they are able to make complaints about old men with the Linglong.
