The imperial concubine favors the crown of the harem

While talking, Xia An brought over the medicine bowl again. The medicine was to cure her choking problem, so she had to drink it.

Lifting her head and gulping it down, Lin Wanyi took a slice of sour plum fruit and put it in her mouth to melt away the bitterness.

"Just now Qian'an Palace sent a message, saying that His Majesty is coming for lunch, Chunqi is already preparing dishes, let Xiao Luzi go to the imperial dining room, let them send a few less dishes, don't waste it yes."

"The slave knows, let's do it."

After Qiu Ming went out, Lin Wanyi's upright body softened again, and she began to meditate while looking at the book in her hand.

Lin Wanyi didn't take anything that Chu promised to curse at Xianyi Palace before leaving.

For her, there are more important things right now.

Concubine Lin Gui sent the news that her brother was going to join the army.

Lin Wanyi became anxious as soon as she heard it. The sword has no eyes, and the battlefield is dangerous. If her brother never returns, what will the whole family do?
She thought that the eldest brother was just promoted to the first rank in the Imperial City Division, but she didn't expect him to be so decisive!
Thinking about it, she also knew why, so Lin Wanyi felt even more uneasy.

She always thought that if she had the chance, she would really like to see her brother, and it would be best if she could persuade him.

So, after much deliberation, she still planned to test the emperor's tone before saying anything else.

Coincidentally, Qian'an Temple sent the news, so Lin Wanyi ordered Chunqi to prepare a table of dishes early.

There are sheep's trotter bamboo shoots, wine steamed chicken, and Dongpo tofu, which the emperor loves to eat.

In addition, a pot of rice was cooked with red beans and barley mixed with rice, which was fragrant.

Before noon, the emperor, dressed in ordinary clothes, walked into the Hall of Leisure.

Lin Wanyi was only choking on water, but her legs and feet were much better, so it was not a big problem to serve the emperor to clean up.

He twisted the veil with warm water, wiped away the fine sweat on his forehead one by one, and then cleaned his hands.

Only then did people bring all the hot dishes to the table.

"Today's preparations are all His Majesty's favorite food, you can try it."

Lin Wanyi was serving vegetables to the emperor while talking, and he took a sip with the corners of his mouth raised.

"It tastes good. Your small kitchen is cleaner than the one in the imperial dining room."

The emperor was naturally happy to eat, and Dong Yuzhong, who was waiting on the side, also said with a smile.

"The food in the little lord's palace is really good, every time your Majesty comes down, you need to use more."

"As long as His Majesty likes to eat."

Then he waited on him and used up the big bowl of rice in the bowl, and then started talking about something else.

"Your Majesty, on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, the incident of the concubine falling into the water did not disturb the nobles."

She spoke cautiously, but the emperor stopped his chopsticks and looked at her carefully, the probing meaning in his eyes made Lin Wanyi feel a little uncomfortable.

She just said a simple sentence, could it be that the emperor is so vigilant?
I was thinking about it, but I heard the emperor say.

"I have already ordered people to investigate the matter of Qingyuan, and it is true that the wooden stakes are rotten, which is why they can't support them. It is probably because there are too many people standing during the races, so they loosened and caused you to fall into the water. The people related to the Inner Court Division have already been punished, if you are still not relieved, I will ask them to come and apologize to you!"

Emperor Yu Wenhong's explanation really made Lin Wanyi speechless.

It seemed that the emperor was thinking about it, and thought she was beating around the bush and asking about falling into the water.

So he said helplessly.

"The emperor misunderstood, this is not what the concubine wanted to say."

"Then what do you want to say?"

Lin Wanyi was a little caught off guard by the emperor's sudden bluntness. After much deliberation, she decided that it was better to tell the truth directly, so as not to cause trouble by guessing.

"The imperial concubine sent someone to send the news that my brother is going to join the army. The servant girl is a little worried, so I want to ask."

What did the emperor think, it turned out to be this, so he said slowly.

"It's his blessing that your brother can go to the Imperial Army to practice."

Lin Wanyi also knew that this statement was true. Although she didn't know much about the Huangjia Army, she had heard of the name of the Great Wei Shuangxiong.

Especially the fourth prince, who was a character that my brother talked about in his mouth.

It's too late to be happy to have the opportunity to practice in his military tent.

"The servant girl knows, it's just..."

"Are you worried about him getting hurt?"

"Ah."

"The answer is straightforward! Have you forgotten your current identity?"

Lin Wanyi was puzzled, could it be that a woman who became an emperor couldn't care about her family?

This is not a foreigner, Lin Xingzhi is his real brother.

Seeing that she was somewhat unhappy, the emperor said with a light smile.

"Just to tease you, don't worry, the Huangjia Army has not fought many battles in the past few years, but the possibility of injury is inevitable due to the experience in the army. The man has ambitions everywhere. If he really wants to join the army, it is useless for you to worry."

The emperor's words awakened Lin Wanyi.

If this matter is what the elder brother wants to do, it is useless for them to say that breaking the sky.

My brother's temper is inherently stubborn.

Since even Concubine Lin Gui sent the news, it can be seen that the matter has been settled, and she has no power to recover, so she can only sigh deeply.

The emperor waited to hear her speak while drinking the soup, but he didn't see her speak for a moment.

Seeing her sad expression, and remembering how she was still calling "Mother" while sleeping in Wen's former residence that day, my heart softened a little.

She comforted Lin Wanyi with a rare good temper.

"Your elder brother is a good seedling. If you stay at home blindly, not only will it be of no benefit to him, but it will also lose your support for you, won't it?"

After the emperor finished speaking, Lin Wanyi fell silent.

Why didn't she know what her brother wanted, but it was because she knew that she was even more sad.

How much she wished that she could also become strong to protect her family, instead of asking her family to worry about her all the time, and go to the front line to fight for her life.

The two looked at each other speechlessly, they had a good meal, but at the end of the meal, both of them were silent.

Before the emperor left, he looked at the clothes being sewn under the open window and said something.

"You'd better take care of your body now, it's fine to push the clothes back."

Knowing that he cared about her, Lin Wanyi stood up and smiled, her mood also came out of the melancholy just now.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. The concubine knows."

"Well, it's better to hurry up, and I can go to the palace after a while."

After saying this, the emperor strode away from the Hall of Xianyi, leaving Lin Wanyi standing alone in a daze.

Palace?

What's the situation?
He quickly found Qiu Ming and found out after asking.

"Every year from June to October, the emperor would go to the palace to escape the summer heat. The palace is thirty miles north of the city, not to mention the Xunshan Mountain. Cozy."

Then added another sentence.

"There won't be too many concubines. According to the past practice, there will be about ten or so."
