180 This palace
Send away Su Shi, who was holding Afu's fetal brush, and Lin Su was so tired that he could no longer lift any strength. From the day of Afu's 100 days, she has been calculating everything about Afu. She and Li Moshan are indeed deeply sisterly. However, since they can get more benefits and are very important when doing these things, why not do it?
As long as Afu has always been raised by her, unless the Li family completely abandons the children left by their only daughter, they can only be tied to the same boat as the Lin family.
Thinking of this, Lin Su, who was lying in **, sighed. Lazily pulled the quilt beside her and covered her. She turned to look at Chunyan, who was busy with incense in the room, and whispered, "Chunyan, don't be busy. Come and talk to me."
"The master is not tired, and he still has the energy to speak?" Chunyan put the incense burner with a smile, and then moved a pier and put it by the bedside. Then she sat down and looked at Lin Su, who looked tired. She threw a handkerchief in the hot water basin, gently wiped Lin Su's forehead, and whispered, "Today, the master has also been busy all day. After all, he has just been out of confinement, and the master still has more rest. OK."
"I can't sleep, just talk to me." Lin Su smiled, looked at Chunyan's face, and whispered, "You have been with me for ten years. I know what happened after you followed me. Why don't you tell me about your past while I have nothing to do today?"
"Before?" Chunyan was slightly stunned and seemed to understand the meaning of Lin Su's words. Lin Su nodded, pulled the quilt under his chin, and curled up to look at Chunyan. "Xia Yan also has a younger brother studying outside. Qiu Yan's parents have also heard about things in those years, but you and Dongyan don't seem to talk much. However, I know in my heart that you have a good relationship with her. In those years, you also taught Dongyan..."
"Master..." Chunyan blushed slightly when she heard Lin Su mention what happened more than ten years ago, and then whispered, "Since the master wants to hear the previous story of the maidservant, let's talk about it."
"I was sold by my family when I was very young. I vaguely just remember that my hometown seemed to have been hit by drought that year, and then locusts were ravaged. My parents sold me for a month's rations for the family." When Chunyan talks about the past, she doesn't seem to have any sadness, as if she is telling other people's stories. "Now, I don't even remember where my hometown is. After walking a lot of places with people's teeth, the local accent was changed. Dongyan was picked up by the second person I changed his hand. At that time, she was only three or four years old. Seeing that she was small and pitiful, I took more care of her. Who knew that she depended on me because of this. During this period, the two of us changed three or four people's teeth, and every time we were transferred, we would change a place. In the end, the man who sold us to the Lin family, in order to sell us girls at a good price, specially asked someone to teach us how to speak official words..."
Chunyan paused for a moment. When she looked up, she saw that Lin Su had already fallen asleep with a tired face.
With a low sigh, she gently covered Lin Su's quilt, then gently left the inner hall and guarded the door to look at the already dark sky outside in a daze.
If her parents hadn't exchanged her for that bag of black beans, what kind of life would she have lived now?
The master said that when she had cultivated a suitable opportunity to replace her, he would plead with the emperor to let her go out of the palace and find a good family to marry with a sufficient dowry...
After the full moon wine, Lin Su became active in the harem again. Usually, she gave it to the empress dowager, the imperial concubine and the queen, and she also went to the Jingyue Palace where Concubine Chen lived.
"You have been in the limelight recently. Why do you have time to sit with me?" Concubine Chen smiled and brought a cup of boiled water to Lin Su. "I still have some tea here, but they are all old tea foam, so I won't make a fool of the virtuous concubine." She laughed at herself, put the teacup in front of Lin Su, and then said, "But in this way, you can drink at ease."
"Concubine Chen thinks too much. What's wrong with Concubine Chen?" Lin Su picked up the teacup but didn't drink it. She just looked at the other party and whispered, "How are you doing these days? A few days ago, I heard from the royal doctor Feng that Chen Fei was not feeling well and wanted to come to visit her, but at that time, I was pregnant and it was inconvenient to move around..."
"I'm fine, but even if I live in the remote Jingyue Palace, I also heard that you seem to take Prince Afu, who has been raised in the Qingshuangyuan, to his residence and raised it with the little princess? Take care of two children at the same time, even if there is a nurse and a mother, I'm afraid it will be very tired, right?
"For good, the two children are very obedient and don't cry much at ordinary times, otherwise I don't have the energy to take care of the children in person." Lin Su said with a smile, "Speaking of which, it's not as good as Concubine Chen. It's quiet and there is no trouble. I have always liked this Jingyue Palace. If I stay longer, I will even think that I am outside the palace. It has nothing to do with the deception in the harem..."
When Concubine Chen heard her words, she just smiled a little, and then whispered, "Lin Su, what's wrong with you? Just say it directly. In my Jingyue Palace, it may be the only place in this harem where there is no struggle. However, since you have come, there is at least polite socializing.
When Lin Su heard this, the expression on his face was slightly stiff, and then he smiled, "It seems that you really don't welcome me."
"It doesn't matter whether you are welcome or not," Concubine Chen smiled and drank the tea that came out of the bitter tea. She glanced at Lin Su and said bluntly, "I have never liked this harem in a day. And now, I hate this place day by day. This makes friends become enemies, makes relatives strangers from now on, and makes some people dare not say something in any case.
She looked up at Lin Su and seemed to smile, "Do you think I'm right, Lin Su?"
Lin Su was silent for a moment, as if she recalled something, and the expression on her face was a little painful and entangled. Finally, she sighed and laughed.
"This is the palace, and this is also where it attracts people." Lin Su sighed in a low voice, "It's hateful, but it's inseparable." With that, she closed her eyes and tears quietly scratched her delicate cheeks.
