After the morning court, Lin Yue met Hokusai in the Wenhua Hall.
It is very simple to say why I saw her in Wenhuaden. There are many excellent calligraphy and paintings here, and Hokusai is a painter.
"How's it going? The paintings here are good, aren't they?"
Lin Yue waved his hand and motioned to the young eunuch and the maid serving Hokusai to wait outside the palace.
Hokusai glanced at his burned face, his expression changed slightly, but he quickly adjusted and stepped forward to salute: "Miao Xuan has met the emperor, long live, long live, long live."
Lin Yue heard this false name "Long live" for more than two months, and his ears were almost calloused, but he couldn't order others not to call it that way.
He helped Hokusai up with both hands: "No need to be too polite. From now on, you can still call me Young Master when no one is around."
"Your Majesty... isn't this good?" Hokusai lowered his head and said.
"What's wrong? If I tell you to call me that, you can call me that."
"Yes, sir."
Lin Yue stretched out his hand, lifted her chin, and asked her to look directly at his face: "Isn't my current look particularly scary?"
Hokusai's little face was pinched by him and he shook his head slightly.
Lin Yue said: "Don't say that I didn't give you a chance. If you can't accept my face, you can leave the capital immediately and go back to Hangzhou."
Hokusai said: "The moment Young Master rescued Miao Xuan from the water, Miao Xuan was already Young Master's."
"In this case, I will ask the Ministry of Rites to create a book this afternoon and designate you as the imperial concubine. How about this Wenhua Palace... let you use it as your bedroom?"
Hokusai bowed slightly: "Miao Xuan thanked you, sir."
Since Xizong had no heirs, the Wenhua Hall had been used as a public hall. It was equipped with beds, chairs, desks, etc. Lin Yue took her hand and walked behind the desk and ordered the little eunuch waiting outside the door to serve with pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
"I suddenly really want to watch my beloved concubine paint." Lin Yue handed her a black lacquer and gold rosewood mink brush.
Hokusai was "shocked" by this title, and his body felt numb, and the hand holding the brush was a little weak.
Lin Yue held her hand and floated it in the inkstone, waving to the rice paper in front of her.
Hokusai took a deep breath, gently pressed down the pen tip, and drew a crescent moon on the paper.
Perhaps because she was too excited, she made a small mistake when she wrote the second stroke. When she looked at the paper and frowned, a ball of hot air sprayed on her earlobe, and then he hugged her waist from behind. arm.
"My beloved, I will take you to a good place."
After saying this, without waiting for Hokusai's consent or giving her time to relax, he picked up her stiff body and walked towards the dragon bed in the inner room.
…
In the afternoon, the Ministry of Rites was ordered to prepare a register, submit it to the cabinet the next day, and report it to the Taimiao Temple on the same day.
The third day was good. Beizhai was officially canonized and given the title Concubine Wen. She lived in the Oriental Wenhua Hall of Qianqing Palace.
That day and night.
The clouds stop and the rain collects.
Lin Yue hugged Beizhai's body and noticed that she was still a little uncomfortable and didn't dare to look at him.
Yes, Zhu Youjian has the aura of a wise king in Beizhai's heart, and he is also her savior. It is natural for him to accept her as his concubine after becoming the emperor. However, disfigurement is disfigurement after all, and it will not be because he is the most powerful person in the world. Men can ignore it.
"What are you thinking about? Is it that Jin Yiwei named Shen Lian?"
Hokusai's body trembled, as if he was surprised that he knew this name, but he didn't hide it.
"no."
"Then...my face is scary?"
Hokusai hesitated, not knowing how to answer. He wanted to say yes, but he was afraid of upsetting the emperor and losing his favor. After all, he had lived in the Wenhua Palace for three or four days and had to torment her to the point of exhaustion every night before he would agree. Come on, I really don’t know why he gets up early in the morning and goes to bed very late every day, so he still has such high energy and needs.
Lin Yue narrowed his eyes slightly: "Since you are afraid of my current appearance, how about I change my face?"
Hokusai was startled when he heard this and looked up.
Lin Yue stretched out his hand and wiped it on his face, then threw the fake human skin mask that he had prepared on the ground.
"How does this face look? Are you satisfied with it?"
The color drained from Hokusai's face. He immediately got out of his arms, grabbed the quilt with his left hand and covered his body. He pointed at him with his right hand and said, "You...you...you are..."
The face opposite her was very familiar to her, because it was exactly the same as that of the eunuch's brother-in-law. Although she later heard that Lin San and Wei Zhongxian had turned against each other, the eunuch was a eunuch, and she always felt that he was not worthy of her sister.
"What am I?" Lin Yue looked at the frightened Concubine Zhou Wen calmly: "Yes, I am the little eunuch you looked down upon in every possible way before, and even instigated Miao Tong to poison me."
"This... how is this possible! Aren't you... already dead?"
"Yes, Lin San died, but Chongzhen was reborn."
Lin Yue looked at her with a smile. Rebirth here has two meanings.
Hokusai felt a loud bang in his head, and his whole head was about to explode.
What's the meaning?
What does he mean!
Co-author: The person she has been serving for the past three days or so is Lin San? That fake eunuch pretended to be Zhu Youjian and took over her body?
"Where's King Xin? Where did you take King Xin?" She no longer bothered to cover her body, grabbed her clothes and looked at him hatefully.
"King Xin? Are you talking about Zhu Youjian? He died in the hands of Zhou Tai a long time ago. I am doing this for the sake of the Ming Dynasty and the well-being of all the people, so I reluctantly sit on the throne."
"I am going to kill you!"
Pa~
A loud slap across her face.
"I rehabilitated your father and made you a royal concubine to honor our ancestors. I couldn't possibly give you a prince in the future. You actually want to kill me?"
Hokusai covered his face and said: "You are a fake emperor!"
"Fake things are real when they are real, real and fake, fake and fake, who can tell the difference?" Lin Yue picked up the human skin mask on the ground, pretended to "put it on" on his face, and his voice returned to Chongzhen. The tune: "If you don't want to be relegated to the cold palace, you should reflect on it. When you wanted Miao Tong to poison her husband, I didn't kill you. I was already magnanimous and merciful beyond the law."
Hokusai sat slumped on the bed, staring blankly at the people walking outside. Just like what he said, what could he do if he knew he was a fake emperor? A mere prostitute, powerless and unable to leave the palace, who would believe what she said?
"What about Miaotong? Do you know how sad these two months have been since Miaotong thought you were dead?"
Before entering the palace, she went to Yuci's mansion and saw her much thinner sister. It was really hard to imagine that Miao Tong would be so sad for a eunuch husband. Now she knew why... because of that guy named Lin San. He is simply a fake eunuch.
Lin Yue said without looking back: "Don't worry, I will take her into the palace to be your 'company'."
When he said "company", he deliberately increased his voice. Hokusai shuddered after hearing this. This guy...has everything planned?
At the same time, Lin Yue heard the system's emotionless beep in his head, telling him that the side mission was completed, +1CM, and the current value was seventeen.
…
Everyone in the civil and military circles of the dynasty knew that the emperor was particularly fond of the newly-named Concubine Zhou Wen. This was not only shown in the fact that he stayed in the Wenhua Palace for several days, Cao Huachun reminded him to pay attention to the dragon body and not to be greedy and scolded him, but also in order to please him. Concubine Wen gave Zhou Miaotong the title of Mrs. Zhaoyi and the privilege of being able to visit her sister in the palace at any time.
The old people in the cabinet began to have disagreements, because even if Zhou Miaotong was Concubine Wen's sister, she could not change her experience of joining the Jiaofang Division. It was completely inconsistent with the ancestral teachings to grant the title of Madam to a woman of this background.
Lin Yue scolded Qian Longxi, the second assistant. The eunuch Lin San, the eunuch Lin San, played a vital role in the fight against the eunuchs. He also saved the country later, but he was the kind of official who died. It's gone, leaving behind a group of useless people who can only talk on paper and form cliques for personal gain.
First of all, Zhou Miaotong is the sister of Concubine Wen; secondly, Zhou Miaotong is the widow of a meritorious minister; finally, the Zhou family was persecuted by the eunuchs and was destroyed, which is really pitiful.
Why can't she be granted the title of Madam?
Qian Longxi was speechless by him and had no choice but to fulfill his wish.
…
Three days later, Zhou Miaotong entered the palace and was led into the Wenhua Palace by a young eunuch.
Hokusai is not here.
A palace maid served her a cup of tea and then left.
Miao Tong sat on a chair and waited for a moment. She heard the sound of footsteps at the door. When she looked back, there was another person behind her. Her face was covered with scars from burns.
She heard that Emperor Chongzhen was extensively burned by the fire, but miraculously survived.
Knowing that the person coming was the emperor, she hurried over and knelt down, shouting long live the emperor.
Lin Yue looked at her face. Just as Beizhai said, she was a little thinner than when he sneaked over to see her a few days ago. He couldn't help feeling pity and helped her up from the ground: "Get up quickly, no need to be polite. "
After saying this, he said to the palace maids and eunuchs standing at the door: "Don't stay here, let me find Concubine Wen."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The group of people hurried away with panic.
Lin Yue closed the palace door casually.
Miao Tong was stunned for a moment, puzzled by his actions.
"You were sad to hear that Lin San died?"
When she heard the name "Lin San", her mood suddenly fell to the bottom. It took her a long time to reply "yes". Even though several months had passed, her voice was full of sadness.
"If I can return your Lin San to you, how will you repay me?"
Miao Tong suddenly raised her head, staring at him with reddish eyes.
Lin Yue turned his head, took off the "human skin mask" on his face, and looked back with a different face.
"Ma'am, it's me."
Familiar face, familiar voice, familiar eyes.
"Ms...sang Gong?"
emperor? Lin San? Lin San...the emperor?
She couldn't figure out the situation and thought she was dreaming. She pinched her thigh and found it hurt.
Lin Yue walked over and hugged her: "No need to doubt it, it's me."
Miao Tong buried her head in his chest, smelled the familiar smell, hugged his waist tightly with her hands, and cried out.
Lin Yue patted her back gently, thinking that the problem between Beizhai and Miaotong was solved, and now the only one left was Ding Baiyang, who was the most difficult to chew.
