Traveling through the Legend of Zhen Huan: My Queen, please love me!
Chapter 164 Lin Enters the Palace
Liu Hua and An Lingrong discussed it until midnight before they decided that to bring down Tong Jia Yunrong, they had to rely on this trip to Jiangnan. Of course, they also had to thoroughly investigate what Longkodo had done.
Therefore, Liu Hua showed his rare courtesy and made a bowl of wontons and sent it to the Yangxin Palace.
Asking for an imperial decree from Yinzhen was actually just a formality. After all, Yinzhen had repeatedly ordered that Liu Hua could send someone to bring his mother into the palace.
However, in order to maintain a humble and respectful image in front of Yinzhen and prevent others from finding fault with him, Liu Hua still asked for permission to allow Lin to enter the palace.
The imperial edict was transmitted very quickly, probably because Liu Hua's influence in the palace was growing, and Lin arrived at the palace in the afternoon.
However, what surprised Liu Hua was that Lin brought back a girl this time, and Liu Hua didn't think this girl was from the Liu family.
Her gentle temperament was typical of a Jiangnan beauty. Seeing her cautious look, Liu Hua probably understood what was going on.
"Your Majesty, the third-rank lady Liu Lin, pays respects to Her Majesty, Empress Qian. May Her Majesty be blessed with good health and a long life."
Liu Hua didn't dare to let Lin perform the full ceremony, so Caiju and Dongli beside him quickly helped Lin sit on the armchair.
The little girl, who was only 15 or 6 years old, kowtowed three times and bowed nine times respectfully in front of Liu Hua.
"I, Lin Qihe, pay my respects to the Queen. May the Queen remain young and prosperous forever."
The clear sound was very much like the chirping of an oriole, and had some resemblance to An Lingrong's singing. Liu Hua became interested and said, "Look up."
Lin Qihe didn't dare to delay and raised her face. The hot air from her mouth blew her messy hair up, partially covering her picturesque eyebrows and eyes.
Liu Hua knew very well that there was never a shortage of beauties in the palace, but those entering the palace in recent days were becoming more and more beautiful.
Because of pregnancy and intrigue, I also have some white hair. I am really inferior to her.
Lin Qihe has been surrounded by praise, jealousy and sighs since she was a child. Her family members often praise her for her stunning beauty, which is rare in the world.
Even the jealousy of many daughters of officials and nobles was so strong that Lin Qihe's mother often sighed, "What a pity that my daughter is so beautiful, but she comes from a merchant family. If she gets married, she will be nothing more than a poor scholar who can become an official."
When Liu Hua looked at Lin Qihe again, Lin Qihe was also secretly observing Liu Hua.
She was thankful in her heart that her father's sister gave birth to this empress, which gave her the opportunity to enter the capital. Even if she could not enter the palace, she could still find a good husband.
Fang Chunyi went to An Lingrong in the back hall again and took the so-called spices.
An Lingrong was just about to report to Liu Hua about Fang Chunyi's plan to accompany him to Jiangnan when she lifted the glass curtain and saw a stunningly beautiful woman kneeling at Liu Hua's feet with a loving look on her face.
She even looked at Liu Hua very presumptuously. What made An Lingrong most unhappy was that Liu Hua did not stop her but let her look at him.
An Lingrong couldn't help but touch her face and looked at Li Qihe who was kneeling.
Her eyebrows are curved, like the dark spring mountains; her eyes are full, like the affectionate autumn waters.
Her face is like a lotus, her cheeks are like fresh litchi, her dimples are visible when she smiles, and her delicate appearance is endearing.
I became more and more worried. This girl looked three times more charming than Guaerjia Wenyuan and two times more lively than Chunyi.
Lin was also nervous. She knew that her daughter asked her to enter the palace to discuss important matters, but her sister-in-law and brother begged her so much that she had no choice.
Only then did he allow his niece to accompany him into the palace.
"It's me, a humble girl. Did I make Her Majesty angry? Why is Her Majesty staring at me like I'm infatuated and not saying anything?
Could it be that the Queen doesn't like me, her younger sister?
An Lingrong became more and more dissatisfied as she listened to Li's pretentious voice.
He didn't go in anymore, but suddenly waved the curtain, and the glass curtain hit the door with a "clatter".
Lin turned around in surprise and saw An Lingrong walking away quickly.
"Isn't this Concubine An? Why did she leave? Did this woman and Shehe do something wrong to make her angry?"
When Liu Hua saw this situation, he knew in his heart that he must be jealous.
Moreover, the ship capsized due to huge waves, which was very serious.
It seems that I can only do it at night...
Lin Qihe heard the sound of the glass curtain still coming out, and she felt terrified.
She carefully thought about what her mother had said. The rules in the harem were very strict and if she was not careful, she would die without a burial place.
I must have offended a concubine just now, otherwise my cousin would not blame me but be worried instead.
"Don't be alarmed. Sit down. I know you well."
"Yes, cousin," a voice as soft as a mosquito's hum came out.
Liu Hua corrected calmly, "In the palace, we still have to follow the palace rules. It's not good to call you cousin every day. Just call her Empress."
"I am from the countryside and don't know any rules. I am sorry to make you laugh.
Never again be so arrogant. "
Dongli served tea and snacks. Liu Hua whispered to Lin, "Mother, things in Jiangnan must be properly arranged. I declare again, tell my uncle not to be too extravagant.
All the luxurious appliances in the house are put away and never shown again. Just follow the rules and do things in a new and clever way.
Don't just look at how rich you are. Give porridge and medicine to the people, and even write petitions on their behalf. The bigger the better.
In this way, even if my uncle is exposed for going out to sea and doing foreign business, he can cover it up by paying 500,000 taels of silver. The emperor will not really blame him.
Lin twisted her handkerchief and asked anxiously, "Five hundred thousand taels of silver is not a small amount. Your Majesty's uncle also gave you five hundred thousand taels of silver.
You're asking him for another 500,000 taels of silver this time, isn't that a bit too much..."
Liu Hua naturally knew what Lin wanted to say. Liu Hua himself certainly did not want Lin Rulan's money, but wanted to give him money.
At the beginning, Liu Hua took a great risk to help Nian Shilan fake her death and leave the palace. All the silver that Nian Gengyao left in the capital was kept by Liu Hua.
That's why Lin Rulan had to behave better. Yesterday, Fu Rujin personally found me and told me about the foreign envoys.
It's white! European version!
Emperor Yongzheng had never visited the south of the Yangtze River in history, so this opportunity was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Liu Hua thought that letting Yinzhen see the suffering of the people living along the coast after no one was allowed to go to sea would perhaps stimulate this ambitious emperor to lift the maritime ban, so that the money in Liu Hua's hands could be laundered.
After all, when sleeping with An Lingrong, Liu Hua often woke up in dreams at midnight.
I couldn't help but think that if I became the Empress Dowager Cixi in the future, I would not follow in the footsteps of Cixi.
