Chapter 285 The Empress Dowager’s adopted son

When Lin Cunde heard that the Empress Dowager wanted to adopt him as her adopted son, Lin Cunde looked at Zhu Qiyu in surprise.

At this moment, Zhu Qiyu was also very surprised. He did not expect that the Empress Dowager would do this. When he saw Lin Cunde's look asking for help, he also reacted and said to the Empress Dowager: "Mother, is this too sudden? Besides, Cunde I have to go to Jiangxi and Zhejiang to handle the case, but I don’t have time to hold those ceremonies!”

"What kind of ceremony do you want? I accept Cun De as my adopted son. You don't need so many red tapes. You just need to treat each other sincerely. I know that Cun De has helped you a lot. You have your own way of repaying it, but I have my own way of expression. ,
I am just such a child. I have always hoped that you would have a younger brother or sister, but you never had one. Now I see that Cunde likes you. This child is sensible and capable! Moreover, I also know that you are very filial to Grandpa Yang in your house, and you are also very good to your brothers!
I thought, a person who can be kind to elders and brothers is not much worse. The main thing is that I know that your parents are gone, and I feel heartache. Such a capable child, you want to support but you are not here. Your Majesty, you are happier than this child! "The Queen Mother said to Lin Cunde.

"Thank you Godmother!" Lin Cunde heard what the Empress Dowager said and knew that Zhu Qiyu couldn't refuse. Especially when the Empress Dowager said that she wanted to raise a son but her mother was not around, Lin Cunde was even more heartbroken. Mainly because he knew that he could not refuse. You can only kneel down!
The Empress Dowager was very happy when she saw Lin Cunde kneeling down. She immediately pulled Lin Cunde up and said, "My child, you don't have to care whether I am the Empress Dowager or not, and I don't care whether you are the Marquis. We, mother and son, treat each other sincerely." That’s it. From now on, you can come to the harem to see your godmother, and your godmother will also come to live in your house at any time!”

"Okay, thank you godmother!" Lin Cunde wanted to kowtow again, but was pulled by the empress dowager and continued to smile: "Son, I will ask your majesty to issue an imperial edict later. As for you, you should call him your majesty. The two of us This matter has nothing to do with him, he will be his emperor, and you will be my godmother’s son!”

"Yes!" Lin Cunde nodded and said.

"Mother, are you kidding me?" Zhu Qiyu looked at the Empress Dowager incomprehensibly and said, "How can you accept an adopted son like this? There is no ceremony, just kowtow and it's over!" It’s not that I object to my mother taking De as her adopted son, but this is too casual!
"Child, is this okay?" The Queen Mother ignored Zhu Qiyu and looked at Lin Cunde and asked.

"Okay, I just want things to be simple. My godmother just said, just treat each other sincerely, why do you need those annoying etiquette!" Lin Cunde nodded immediately and said, he also wished for this! '

The Empress Dowager looked at Zhu Qiyu very happily and said: "Look, we, mother and son, both think it's OK! That's it!" Then she looked at Lin Cunde and asked: "My child, I am seventeen this year, and there is no crowning ceremony. Did you tie your hair yourself?”

"Yeah!" Lin Cunde nodded. His parents passed away last year. Who would crown him? After being awarded the title of official, Lin Cunde tied his hair and never picked up his words!
"Come, Godmother will tie your hair. How can each of my sons tie their hair! Go and get a comb!" The Queen Mother immediately asked Lin Cunde to squat in front of her and shouted for someone to bring a comb. The maid next to Wang Meilin hurriedly He went to get a comb and handed it to the Queen Mother with both hands.

The Queen Mother took it and began to untie Lin Cunde's hair and comb it with a comb. Lin Cunde also thought of the scene of his mother combing his hair, and he couldn't help but shed tears!
Mrs. Qin saw Lin Cunde crying and wiped her tears aside. Of course she knew how difficult it was for a child without parents!
"My child, you haven't chosen your character yet, can you please help me choose it for you?" the Empress Dowager asked as she was combing her hair from behind.

Lin Cunde choked up and said a good word.

"It's called Shou Ming, Lin Shou Ming. This Shou Ming has three meanings. The first is to guard the Ming Dynasty for His Majesty. The second is to guard one's own clear mind. The clear mind is wise. The third level means that the clear voice is the same as the people's voice to protect the people. , This is what my mother expects from you!" The Queen Mother sat in the back and said to Lin Cunde while combing his hair.

"Thank you, mother. From today on, the child's name will be Lin Shouming!" Lin Cunde said with a smile in front.

"Fine if you like it. From now on, call me mother, not godmother!" The Queen Mother said and started to crown Lin Cunde, then looked at it carefully and said, "Stand up and let me see it!"

"Okay!" Lin Cunde also stood up at this moment, facing the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager looked at Lin Cunde carefully, nodded and said: "My son is handsome, and his in-laws are really good at choosing sons-in-law!"

"Hahaha, Queen Mother, I have no other skills. My greatest skill is to choose two good husbands for my two daughters!" When Wang Ying heard what the Queen Mother said, she said proudly with a smile.

The Queen Mother smiled and nodded in agreement: "That's right! Both sons-in-law are good! However, as Shouming's mother, I have to ask, when will my son and your daughter get married?"

After Wang Ying heard this, she immediately stopped smiling and said to the Empress Dowager: "Empress Dowager, Cunde and his ministers have told me about this matter, saying that although he is now a Marquis and has started to run errands, he still wants to After Ding You's term expires, he will not consider getting married. Moreover, Cunde and Mei Chun have exchanged letters and they have already agreed!"

"Good boy, I've made you feel wronged. Qiu Shuang is the only girl in the house to take care of you, right?" the Empress Dowager asked Lin Cunde.

"Yes, Qiu Shuang is very meticulous in doing things!" Lin Cunde nodded immediately and said. "Well, the in-laws did a good job in this matter!" The Queen Mother also smiled and nodded.

"Yes, Shibo treats me very well!" Lin Cunde nodded affirmatively.

"Okay, that's it, let's go, Shouming, let's go eat!" The Queen Mother said, taking Lin Cunde's hand to go to eat!
Zhu Qiyu really didn't know what the queen mother meant, and he and Wang Meilin looked at each other. Both of them are still confused now!

During the meal, the Empress Dowager also kept telling Lin Cunde to eat more. Now is the time to grow, how can he eat less? Lin Cunde did have a good appetite, and he often practiced martial arts, so he had a huge appetite. Seeing that Lin Cunde had such a good appetite, the Queen Mother was so happy that she ordered the maids and father-in-law to fill the rice and add vegetables!
After the meal, the Queen Mother took Lin Cunde to sit down and chatted about the situation at Lin Cunde's family. Lin Cunde also talked about it one by one!

After chatting for almost half an hour, the Queen Mother said to Lin Cunde: "I went to Jiangxi and Zhejiang. Remember to write letters back from time to time. By the way, my mother will prepare some gifts for you. You can take them back to give to the elders and children." ! Mom won’t go see you off, just remember to write back from time to time!”

"Yes, mother!" Lin Cunde nodded and said solemnly.

"Let's go, mother will take you out of the palace!" The empress dowager said, pulling Lin Cunde and starting to walk out!

Lin Cunde quickly stopped him and said, "Mom, it's the sunniest time of the day, so don't stay out in the sun. I'll just follow Uncle Shi, and Auntie and the others can go out!"

"Well, okay, then be careful when going to Jiangxi, take care of yourself, and run errands for His Majesty. It's not that important. There are so many officials in the Ming Dynasty! You can't point everything at you!" The Empress Dowager taught in front of Zhu Qiyu. By Lin Cunde.

"This!" Lin Cunde touched his head. After meeting the Empress Dowager today, Lin Cunde's mind was always dizzy and he couldn't figure out why the Empress Dowager accepted him as her adopted son.

"Mother, I'm still here!" Zhu Qiyu also complained.

"Did I make a mistake? There are so many ministers. Are you pointing at my Shouming?" the Empress Dowager said pretending to be dissatisfied as she stared at Zhu Qiyu.

"Yes, yes. I was wrong!" Zhu Qiyu said helplessly.

Soon, Lin Cunde left, and Zhu Qiyu had already asked Cheng Jing to prepare the imperial edict. Before Lin Cunde left the palace, the imperial edict arrived at the Ministry of Rites, and it was to be announced to the world that Lin Cunde was adopted as the adopted son by the Empress Dowager and given the gift of The word is kept clear!

This matter is a royal family matter, and the Queen Mother is not planning to hold banquets and ceremonies!

After Lin Cunde left the palace, Zhu Qiyu also supported the Queen Mother to the palace where she lived. On the way, Zhu Qiyu couldn't help but asked: "Mother, what are you doing today? I don't know at all!"

"Why? For you! And for this child! You two, things are going so smoothly now, for you and for this child, but you both underestimated Wen Chen's strength. Now it can be said that Cunde and Yu Qian is your right-hand man. How could those civil servants not know it? But they have no way yet. After all, your accession to the throne is too short and Cunde has risen too fast. They can't stop it for a while, but it doesn't mean that they will always have no way!
I am just worried that in the past few years, those civil servants will slowly make plans and alienate the relationship between you and Cunde. After the last victory at Shanhaiguan, I sent someone to find out more about this child. In addition, I also asked Lin'er, Lin'er also told me everything this child has done for you and your wife!

I know that this child is sent by God to help you, but if he helps you, he will offend those ministers. Not to mention you, even your father was no match for those ministers!
Therefore, I don't have any other thoughts, I just want to keep your right-hand man. On Yu Qian's side, I will ask Shouming to find a way to help him. On Shouming's side, I will help him. Your Majesty, remember, only virtue can have no rebellious intentions. , you can't kill him. If you kill him, your imperial power will probably be exhausted. In a few years, I estimate that many people will be expecting you to kill him! "The Empress Dowager patted Zhu Qiyu's hand softly and said.

"Impossible, I can't kill Cunde!" Zhu Qiyu was still not used to calling Shouming, Cunde was more comfortable!

"That's what I think now, but when there is a villain around me who talks bad things about Shouming in your ears every day, you will still think that way? I am collecting virtue just to keep this child. If there is anything wrong with this child , you tell me, I tell this child, if you have any suspicion about this child, you also tell me, I will ask this child, this child is a filial child, a filial person, can not become a great evil. People!" The Queen Mother continued to express her thoughts!
