Concubine Tang through space

Chapter 2

Putting down those childish thoughts, Su Lin calmed down and began to think carefully about her current situation and what she could do. Since she was poisoned in her previous life, there must be someone sent by Li Shimin's other concubines by her side. She knew about the detailed work early on, but the memory of her previous life was too simple, and she couldn't figure out who the person around her who wanted to kill her was from it.

No matter how urgent this matter is, it can only be done slowly. She who is not favored is too aggressive, and the result may not be able to avenge her predecessor, but the possibility of putting herself in a more disadvantageous situation is relatively high.

Playing scheming, since her life became stable in her previous life, she never played it again. At that time, the people she interacted with were almost all those who gave her a helping hand when she was in trouble. She couldn't calculate those people with peace of mind. Just don't think about anything, just live your life quietly.

Those few years of lonely and fulfilling days, I thought they were extremely ordinary, but in a different environment, they are so nostalgic, it is unpredictable.

Jing Liu walked into Su Lin's room from the side of the courtyard with very regular steps from special training, and saw Su Lin staring out of the window in a daze. She followed Su Lin as a maid since Su Lin entered this mansion. Beside Lin, watching Su Lin go from naive and ignorant of scheming to silent counterattack but being framed due to clumsy tactics, to now thinking quietly, but not half as decadent as after losing in the past. Such a change in just one year will never be. She is young, but now she thinks that Su Lin is still a talent. Among the women in the backyard she has known since she was a child, she is not afraid of those who play tricks from the beginning, nor those who pretend to be, but those who are born dull and start over. If you don't know how to work around in the end, no matter the master or the slaves who follow such a master, you will be unable to escape a tragic death in the end. Death is not terrible. Injury, Su Lin can reflect on her failures again and again, can make changes, and can adjust her mentality so quickly. Even if the means are a little worse and the reaction is a little slow now, as long as she can give birth to a healthy boy, there will be a baby in the backyard sooner or later. According to the status, Jing Liu asked softly. "Ruren, would you like something for lunch?"

Su Lin came back to her senses, looked back at the scenery of the courtyard, sat up, turned her head to look at the source of the sound, Jing Liu was wearing a green-edged blue-bottomed lady's dress, and saluted gracefully, her small face was serious, and she looked up at each other For a while, her eyes were deep, and it seemed that there was a smile, respect, and concern.

Su Lin didn't dare to take it seriously that this girl cared about her. After hearing this, she thought about it and nodded her head lightly. "Follow yesterday's example." Six meat and six vegetables, two soups, two pastries, and two fresh fruits after meals are the regular meals for ordinary children. She is pregnant, so she doesn't have to keep it during this period. According to the rules, you can eat whatever you want, but after giving birth to a child, this freedom will inevitably become one of the 'triggers' for other women to attack her.

Anyway, she couldn't finish all these, so there was no need to make any troubles, because the former knew too little about the women in this backyard, even if Su Lin wanted to do something, she couldn't do it without any information.

"Yes." Jing Liu saluted and exited the room, went outside and ordered the second-class maids to go to the big kitchen to get food, and acted respectfully and respectfully, she was obviously enthusiastic and respectful to Su Lin, but also obviously indifferent to others many.

Su Lin supported the window frame and got up slowly. She moved cautiously, stood up and looked down at the slightly protruding belly. If this child dares to be disfilial to her in the future, she will definitely not be soft-hearted when she teaches her a lesson!She swears!
Su Lin, who walked from the bedroom to the main room by herself, had some rules of the palace in her mind. Regarding her situation at this moment, the palace stipulated that there must be a maid or mother-in-law by her side to take care of her at any time. Beside her are Yu Niang and Jing Hong, another maid who is more lively than Jing Liu, but at first Su Lin was afraid that she would be found abnormal, so she lost her temper several times due to her stomach and mood discomfort and drove everyone away When going out, no one is allowed to approach her bedroom. The mother-in-law, the first maid, the eunuch and the four second-class maids can only wait in the main room connected to the bedroom.

Later, I realized that the possibility of being found to be abnormal was not high, but I was worried that the group of maids around me could see the clues from the details of my going to the space to recuperate my body, so I simply continued the situation. Not a single maid was allowed to wait.

In the living room, the mothers-in-law, servant girls, eunuchs, and eunuchs who were serving Su Lin closely all stood where they were allowed to stand according to the rules. After Su Lin was seated, Jing Liu and Jing Hong began to prepare vegetables for Su Lin, one on the left and one on the right. Quietly.

After eating, the two eunuchs and the little maid cleaned up the table. Su Lin took the fluffy cloak from Yu Niang and put it on. Holding Jing Liu's arm, she slowly walked out of the courtyard and walked towards the main courtyard of the palace.

Today her confinement ended, and in the morning she sent Jing Liu to explain to the principal, Princess Sun, according to the rules, Princess Changsun replied and told her to go down to see her after lunch.

In the prince’s backyard in the Tang Dynasty, there were thirteen women with titles, the first-rank concubine, the fifth-rank child, equivalent to side concubines, and the rest were Teng, ordinary concubines, ten positions, and the rest were all without status. .

There are two big suites in the main courtyard, which can also be said to be two palaces in terms of scale, one is lived by the eldest grandson, and the other is lived by Li Shimin. As one of the only two children in the palace, Su Lin lives in Qi The courtyard is not far from the main courtyard, even if she walked carefully and slowly, it only took less than 10 minutes.

In the memory of her predecessor, Princess Changsun was a gentle, generous, talented woman who was so charming that her predecessor felt inferior. Su Lin had seen Princess Changsun twice before she was grounded, and she didn't feel much about it. Princess Changsun is not a simple person. She was afraid that Su Lin, who would accidentally show her feet, would not dare to say much during the two meetings. Apart from asking An to salute and simple politeness, she did not communicate much.

But now, the reality forced her to cheer up, and she would draw in the estranged relationship with the Changsun family, because whether in memory or in the history books, Li Shimin respected his wife the most among his women—the eldest grandson. Shi, if she can get even a little favor from the eldest grandson, her life in this courtyard will be easier for Su Lin.

Looking up at the sky, compared with the modern gray-blue, the pure blue of the sky here makes people feel better. Su Lin closed her eyes, and then looked forward, her eyes slowly became firmer .

Princess Changsun also had just eaten, and asked the maids to take away the food, and at the same time asked Su Lin to sit on the side after Su Lin saluted. Compared with Su Lin's belly, Princess Changsun's eight-month-old belly was much bigger.

Su Lin took a look and then lowered her head slightly. She thought about the plan several times in her mind, and she didn't rush to speak.

Princess Changsun had a plain face and no rouge. Although she was dressed luxuriously, she was also very casual. She gave others a more casual feeling. She took the thermos from the maid and didn't think much of Su Lin's quietness. Lin smiled gracefully and asked, her voice was kind. "What has Sister Su been doing recently?"

If it was normal, she wouldn't pay much attention to the other women in the backyard, and the woman in front of her, after a while, she probably wouldn't pay any attention to her at all, but not now. Li Shimin's bargaining chip to win over some officers within a certain range, and Su Lin's accident in just half a year, will definitely have a certain impact on Shimin's plan. Although the impact will not be too great today, it is not necessary. Second, this The woman is still pregnant with Shimin's child. She has been married to Shimin for four years but has no children. She doesn't care much about the secular words, but she can't ignore the impact on Shimin's hegemony.

A prince whose descendants are not prosperous must not get as much support from his courtiers as those princes whose descendants are prosperous and intelligent enough. The reason why the emperor's father-in-law appointed his elder brother as the prince instead of making the people he had agreed to as the prince may not be without this aspect The reason is that Shimin, who is 16 years old this year and has no son, got married at the age of 20.

So pay proper attention to Su Lin's recent situation, and let people know that she still values ​​Su Lin more. Even if Su Lin is not favored by the people, those women will be more or less afraid to make a fuss about Su Lin's stomach.

"Returning to the princess, the concubine has not done anything other than raise the baby recently, just thinking about learning a word." Su Lin looked up at Princess Changsun with a sincere expression, and explained after a pause: "You also know , I am not good at embroidery, and I don’t know anything else. I used to serve my mother when I was at home, and I couldn’t care about anything when I was too busy. Now I don’t care about anything except eating or walking in the yard. There is nothing to do, so if the concubine thinks it is not troublesome, I hope that the concubine can give me the grace to let the concubine learn to read, so I have something to do."

Her predecessor was illiterate, not good at embroidery, and didn't know anything else. Her father was a strong military general of the fourth rank. She died in battle when she was ten years old. Because of this, her mother was sick and stayed in bed for four years. During this period, her predecessor has been serving her personally. Mother, know some medicine, that's all.

Such a simple life experience and life also alleviated some of the depression that Su Lin had just traveled through. Her previous life was a relatively simple person, so it would not be too difficult for her to live as her previous life, but now she needs to learn the word of time and space for her convenience. future actions.

Princess Changsun knew about Su Lin's background. Su Lin's filial piety and earnestness were one of the reasons why she took the initiative to hire Su Lin into the mansion and took care of Su Lin so many times. She also knew that Su Lin was illiterate. "Sister Su said that many things can't be done during pregnancy, but I don't know how my sister wants to learn?"

"I want to ask the princess to send a literate maid to teach me for a few months, and let her leave after I have learned a little bit. What do you think?" This is Su Lin's test of Changsun's attitude towards her Well, it would be great if the Changsun family sent someone down. It would be good for other women in the short term. It doesn’t matter if you don’t send someone down and get rid of your relationship with yourself. a bit.

Princess Changsun thinks about it. She puts someone beside Su Lin. She knows that although Su Lin is filial, her thoughts are not pure, and of course she is not vicious. Yes, it seems that most of them figured it out after the fact, and she was also sulked, but she didn't think about going to frame the person who hurt her.

Such a somewhat weak temperament, Princess Changsun doesn't appreciate it or get bored, if she doesn't get into trouble, don't bother too much, if she wants to give her a hand, Princess Changsun doesn't mind, she smiles gently, a beautiful and incomparable smile Su Lin's eyes flashed. "My sister said so, so I will give Yin Yan to my sister for a few months. If it doesn't work well, feel free to come to my sister again, and my sister will arrange someone else for you."

There are four big maids and four close wives around Changsun, all of whom are confidantes, and the names of the big maids all start with Yin, and Yin Yan is one of them.

"Thank you, concubine." Su Lin was stunned for a moment, and was moved by Changsun's stunning appearance and generosity. Then she stood up and saluted to thank her, and said a few polite words to Princess Changsun and some problems in the process of raising the baby. , and took his maidservant and Yin Yan, the 'character teacher' who had just been accepted, back to her yard.
