Chapter 16 The Lin Family
The two palaces are naturally not as spacious and gorgeous as the place where the empress dowager should live in the harem, but it is many times better than the place where the two lived before.

The Empress Dowager of the East Palace has been safe and sound for the past few years without any incidents, but the Empress Dowager Lin of the West Palace is somewhat dissatisfied.

Lin Shi used to be a favorite concubine for a period of time. At that time, she was so beautiful that even the then empress Wu Shi would avoid her when she saw her on the road.

Therefore, Lin was full of doubts about the imperial decree that was thrown into the cold palace later.

At first she thought that Emperor Xian was bewitched by others, but soon he knew her favor and picked her up personally.

Then a few years later, Emperor Xian did not even send anyone to visit her in the cold palace, but Mrs. Lin still did not give up, thinking that the late emperor probably put her in the cold palace for some unavoidable reason, ostensibly to neglect her, In fact, it was to protect her.

It was because of this belief that she survived in the cold palace for so many years.

Once her own son ascended the throne, she finally felt proud.

However, when he put on the fine clothes, combed the complicated bun and gorgeous head, and heard the imperial decree with the support of several court ladies.

She was named the Empress Dowager of the West Palace.

Lin felt annoyed that after a lifetime of hard work, she only got the position of Empress Dowager of the West Palace.

It would be fine if it was just the Empress Dowager of the West Palace, but above her, there was actually an Empress Dowager of the East Palace.

This made Lin even more dissatisfied.

Because she is dissatisfied with her current status and the Wu family who lives not far away, Lin often makes some annoying little moves.

However, Emperor Tianqin could bear these small actions for the time being, and he didn't have the time to take care of them.

"Did you say what's the matter?" Emperor Tianqin picked up the wooden doll on the table to play with, his eyes became gentle.

There are several knives of different sizes and shapes beside the doll, which shows that the doll was carved by Emperor Tianqin himself.

Zuoqiu Juxuan said anxiously, "The Empress Dowager Xigong heard that Her Majesty brought a woman back to Shengjing, and wanted to see her."

The people around Emperor Tianqin were very tight-lipped, so until now Lin did not know that the woman brought back by Emperor Tianqin was once Qingxuan's queen.

He only thought that the woman's looks were extraordinary, and Emperor Tianqin liked to bring her back, she was just an ordinary woman.

She wanted to see this woman not because she wanted to embarrass her, but because she felt that she was Emperor Tian Qin's biological mother anyway, and she had to fulfill the responsibility of being a mother at this time to see if this woman was qualified to serve Emperor Tian Qin.

Of course, she also wanted to establish a reputation in front of this woman, so that she would know who she should listen to, what she should do and what she should not do in the entire harem.

Although the place where she lives has been divided out of the harem, Lin is still unwilling to live the rest of her life in such a mediocre way. She wants to catch something, as if this can make her heart feel warm.

In addition, she also wanted to know what kind of woman Tianqin Emperor liked, and after seeing it, she had some plans in mind.

Although she is his own biological son, the relationship between Emperor Tianqin and her is not good.

In other words, it is not as good as Lin's efforts to show outsiders.

At least in Emperor Tianqin's eyes, there was no difference between the two empress dowagers, and even Empress Dowager Wu gave him a better impression.

Emperor Tian Qin cherished the puppet in a box, and then carefully wiped his fingers with a handkerchief.

"Go and see."

Zuoqiu was stunned for a while before he realized that Emperor Tianqin was going to the Empress Dowager Xigong, he shook his whisk to cover up his doubts and incomprehensions.

It seems that His Majesty is really in a good mood today, and he can spare time to go to the Empress Dowager West Palace to listen to nonsense.

The reason why it is described in nonsense is because no matter what the Empress Dowager Nishinomiya said, His Majesty just listened to it without shaking his head or nodding, and he would not listen to what the Empress Dowager Nishinomiya said after leaving.

The harem is not far from the Ning'an Hall where the Empress Dowager Xigong lived, but Emperor Tianqin spent half an hour on the road.

He stopped in the imperial garden and looked at the red plums for a while.

It's cold in Shengjing now, and the red plum blossoms have quietly protruded.

Although it is not as stunning as the red plums in the snow, the trembling flower buds are really lovely.

Emperor Tianqin was in a good mood admiring the flowers and scenery, but Lin who was waiting in Ning'an Hall was not in a good mood.

She had a sullen face at first, and then found an excuse to scold all the maids and maids who were close to her.

After waiting for a while, I was really unhappy, I just felt that the people around me, even the Queen Mother of the East Palace who was staying next to Kunning Palace, these people were laughing at her.

Even though she is the emperor's own mother, she is not respected by others, and she is even oppressed everywhere.

Thinking of this, the anger in Lin's heart is like weeds in spring, growing crazily.

She casually picked up a cup full of hot tea and threw it on the ground.

With a "click", the cup shattered into pieces and the tea inside splashed.

A small piece of broken porcelain was thrown in front of Emperor Tianqin who had already stepped half a foot into the door.

Seeing this, the maids and eunuchs in the hall knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Lin looked at Emperor Tianqin's expression of unknown joy and anger, and felt a little apprehensive.

In fact, she didn't get along with this biological son for a long time.

Her deepest memory of him is that he was covered in blood and killed other princes and several brothers who were planning to rebel in the palace.

Lin Shi still feels terrified when he thinks about the scene at that time. Although it was treason, he was still his own brothers. He cut off the heads of these brothers without blinking.

"Why can't the Queen Mother even hold the teacup steadily?"

The man's voice was extremely soft, and there was no chill on his face as usual, as if he was a person who was easy to get close to.

But just like this, Lin held his breath even more.

In terms of brutality, Emperor Tianqin's cruelty is not really worthy of the name. His cruelty was used on the battlefield rather than on the common people.

He got angry in the court because he could hear a lot of stupid words and had to get angry.

Compared with Emperor Tianqin, the dead Emperor is the real cruelty.

However, the Lin family, who had been emperors for two generations, was more afraid of the current Emperor Tianqin's own son than the deceased emperor.

So at this time, Lin felt that it was wrong to do anything, and he didn't have the courage to continue to be angry, and he couldn't find the steps to get down if he didn't continue to be angry.

She shifted her eyes to Zuo Qiuju who was standing next to her in an embarrassing manner, hoping that he would know how to find a step.

Zuoqiu focused his eyes on his nose, his nose and his heart, and closed his eyes slightly, in a daze, not responding to Lin's gaze.

He knows better than anyone else who is his master.

"The emperor is exhausted, it's been a long time." Lin said casually to change the subject.

It's just that Emperor Tianqin didn't have the heart to change the subject with her, so he walked aside and asked, "The Empress Dowager hasn't said why she dropped the teacup yet?"
