Queen of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

When Wanyu returned to the palace, it was just [-]:[-] noon, not too late, many people in the palace who were waiting for the news breathed a sigh of relief.Delaying until [-]:[-] noon is the bottom line. If you really want to come back after this point, although the rules are not broken, you will be unwelcome.

After returning home, Wanyu completed the last procedure of getting married, and now she is completely married to Kant.Life in the palace is not much different from that at home except that you don't see your younger siblings and father.In particular, she is not a serious mother-in-law, and Taifei Wu Gui has fallen into a vicious circle of self-disgust since the late emperor left, and she hasn't gotten out of it yet, so she doesn't have much thought about showing off in front of her now.

All the things she encountered this year were unsatisfactory. First of all, it was Kant's marriage. At first, she thought that marrying a strong daughter-in-law would be bad enough, but she didn't expect that the worst was yet to come.The first emperor died, and Concubine Wu Gui's dream of being a queen by relying on her son's superiority was broken.Well, the noble concubine can become a noble concubine from a young concubine, and her self-regulation ability is still very strong. Besides, she is not the original match of the first emperor. The sky can pass... It's just that it seems to have passed.

But the late emperor died, so it stands to reason that the widows of the late emperor, especially those who gave birth to a son for the late emperor, must be promoted to a higher level, that is, her name should be promoted to the imperial concubine, but the new emperor and None of the empress dowagers mentioned this matter, it's not that she didn't mention it, but she was just missed. Even the young nobles who entered the palace were promoted to concubine concubine, and the original concubine was also promoted to dowager concubine, she was not promoted at all.

It cannot be blamed that Concubine Wu Gui attaches great importance to this. You must know that there is a difference of 500 taels a year between the ages of Concubine Gui and Concubine Huang Gui.But Concubine Wu Gui, as the late emperor's favorite concubine, shouldn't be so shallow-sighted, so why does she care so much?

When the emperor used to be the emperor's concubine, when the emperor came to spend the night, he always wanted to reward something, and then counting the Qianqiu Festival, and the festivals, there were many rewards. To be honest, to maintain a decent appearance in the palace, relying on the noble concubine That 600 taels per year is not enough.Concubine Wu Gui was able to maintain her glamor in the early years. Firstly, the emperor liked her. Secondly, it was also because she raised two sons. When the prince was underage, most of the salary rewards were received by the mother concubine.

Now that the emperor is gone, the income of Concubine Wu Gui has basically been cut by three-quarters, let alone fancy things and valuables.During New Years and festivals...that is basically the only way to mourn in the Great Buddha Hall. My husband is dead, and I can't live like a dead tree. I can't bring any rouge, gouache, silk, satin, jewelry, etc.

Although Concubine Wu Gui has saved a lot of things over the years, and her expenses in the future will not be as big as when she was a concubine, but how old is she this year?Just now at 31, the son is going to marry a wife, and the daughter is going to get married. Of course, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will also prepare dowry gifts and so on, but as a mother, can I not say anything?

So she saw that although she was quite rich, more than half of her family property had already been booked out, and then she began to feel depressed again after calculating her expenses for the next few decades.

And... when Kant got married, Concubine Wu Gui got into the narrowest place. On the spur of the moment, she deducted a lot of the rewards that Kant received in the early years, and comforted herself that this was the reward for raising him.But when she woke up the next morning, she regretted it. This is so inhumane!

But sending it over now...it's too late!And she also felt ashamed, and she didn't even dare to look at the faces of Kant and Wanyu.

In this way, she will never be able to turn the horns.

The place where she lives is also bad. Originally, one person lived in a palace, but now she shares a yard with the other two noble concubines. Of course, she still lives in the main hall, but there are only five rooms, and the number of people serving her is half less than before.

In fact, it’s not her fault that she’s depressed. The concubine’s nursing home centered on the Compassionate Ning Palace now houses two emperor’s concubines. Can it not be crowded...Except for the empress dowager and the empress dowager, who still have a palace for each person, the rest are live together.

Concubine Wu Gui is not bad, like Yingchun, there is only one room, compared with living in the cold palace, there is one more room to bask in the sun in the yard.

But Yingchun was very satisfied, the last bit of melancholy that had accumulated in her eyebrows earlier was completely gone.

Wanyu met Yingchun in the Great Buddha Hall, she had just entered after Yingchun came out after burning incense.There are many places for offering sacrifices in the palace, but this is the place where the concubines burn incense every day.

The ancestral tablets are enshrined in the Fengxian Hall, which is a bit like the feeling of the ancestral hall at home. As a daughter-in-law, Wanyu can only go once when she gets married, and don't think about the rest.

"Jia Taipin." Wanyu didn't expect to see Yingchun in this situation, and she was taken aback before calling out.This was the first time Wanyu saw Yingchun in the palace, and she couldn't help but feel a little bit moved. She called her sister at first, and then looked at the two people's attire. It was obviously less than a year, and Wanyu was still a newlywed. She's already covered in blue-gray, and it's only been a while, and even the title has to be changed... Something is different.

The corners of Yingchun's mouth slightly lifted up, feeling quite happy in her heart, but with her current status, she was determined not to laugh. "Princess De."

Then there was nothing to say.

When Yingchun was in Jia's house earlier, Wanyu was not familiar with her, and since they changed their identities, the two of them had nothing to talk about.

So Wanyu smiled and looked up at the sky.

Yingchun seemed to have misunderstood something, and the smile on her face tended to widen, "I have a good life in the palace." You don't need to be forced to make progress, and you don't need to be compared with Tanchun every day, it's just like that.Therefore, Yingchun came here to burn incense to the late emperor sincerely, thanking the present stable life, and also thanking the late emperor for saving her from being sent to the temple with her hair messed up like Li Guiren in the same period, waiting to be buried with her.

Wanyu felt that Yingchun was much more free and easy than before, and said: "I'll look back at my concubine."

"Don't." Yingchun hastily stopped, "You've only been married for a few days, where am I... It's not been a hundred days yet, the lord should be talking about you later."

Wanyu nodded, Yingchun said again: "Go in quickly, I'll go back first."

The two met each other just like that, and then separated again quietly.

It's actually pretty good.

After Wanyu burned the incense, she went to the Palace of the Empress Dowager.To say that the current situation is really quite comfortable.

The emperor is Kant's elder brother, and the queen is the emperor's wife. Although they live in the palace, they don't have to greet each other every day, and sometimes they have to avoid suspicion.Concubine Wu Gui is not a serious mother-in-law, she can just go there once every three to five days. The Queen Mother spends half of her time getting sick and half of her time burning incense. See everyone by the way.

Because of a few words with Yingchun, Wanyu arrived at the Palace of Compassion and Peace a little late, and most of the people in the palace who were good enough to see the Empress Dowager had arrived, no more, no less, two tables of mahjong were more than enough, but today people came It's quite complete.Even the Empress Dowager, who didn't go out very much, and Wu Guitai Concubine, who said she wanted to recuperate, came.

But the queen mother half-closed her eyes, she was wearing plain clothes, and she didn't have a hairpin on her hair. She counted the Buddha's name with a string of beads in her hand, as if she had come to practice in a downtown area.

Although Wanyu is a junior, she has the status of a regular wife, so she can bow her head and say hello to many concubines or concubines in the palace. As long as she saves enough face, no one will make things difficult for her.

Today the imperial concubine Yu is also here, this one is the former concubine Yu of the Supreme Emperor, Ruile's biological mother.Because of her seniority, she has been promoted from concubine to noble concubine. The previous emperor's ancestor means that she is from the generation of the current emperor's grandmother.

At this time, you have to be very energetic. If you say hello and say the wrong title of the other party, at least it is a bad memory, and at the worst, it can be fatal if you do not follow the rules and etiquette.Wanyu saluted, and just sat down in her seat when she heard the imperial concubine say: "In three days, Ruile will marry a wife, I'm so nervous."

The imperial concubine Chen smiled and said: "There must be such a time, once you get married, you should enjoy the blessing."

It is rare for the empress dowager to feel a little guilty. Earlier, she made the decision to point out a slightly arrogant girl to Rui Le. At first, it was just to vent her anger, but now it is like this. Although the empress dowager is still alive, all three of them have been promoted to the grandma generation Alright, what else can't you let go of?

The empress dowager looked away, but there were many people who couldn't see it.

It was the queen who spoke, and she also pulled Wanyu in. "I heard that the girl from the Qi family was drafted together with you. I said you two are good at the beginning, but I didn't expect her to be your aunt now."

Wanyu smiled and said: "The eighth uncle has a high seniority." Wanyu was in the empress dowager's palace, if there were people around, she kept pretending to be dumb, who made her a little lower in seniority, she had to be respectful when talking to anyone .But what does the Queen mean by this?

The faces of the two emperors and noble concubines were a little stiff, and they looked at each other silently. They still haven't forgotten about the plot against Wanyu earlier, but because the late emperor died, there is no winner after all the calculations.

Chen hurriedly said to the Empress Dowager: "You haven't seen the dowry she prepared for the new daughter-in-law. Even if I see so many good things, I can hardly move my eyes."

"Hey, I'm just such a son." Yu Shi sighed, "But I have to keep all the good things for him."

The Empress Dowager also laughed twice, and said: "Don't give away the dowry you prepared for Miaojia." Miaojia is the youngest daughter of the Yu family. ... The emperor had to call her aunt when he saw her.

These two sentences were originally a very harmonious joke, but what she heard clearly in Wu's ears was ridicule, mocking her for not giving her new daughter-in-law a generous gift, so she shrank back again, trying to reduce her sense of existence.

The queen's mouth turned up slightly, and said: "I haven't seen my aunt's dowry list, but when Miss Qi's dowry list came a while ago, I saw that it was not as rich as Wanyu's."

Wanyu doesn't speak, since she is of a lower seniority anyway, this is not what she said, just laugh.But she couldn't help thinking, when did she offend the queen?

No intersection at all?

The queen is 26 and seven, and she is in the capital. The morning of the tea ceremony was the first day the two met. It has only been half a month, and she offended someone?

After saying these two words, the queen saw that Wanyu didn't accept the invitation at all, and was a little disappointed, so she temporarily stopped her flag and turned her head to talk to Mrs. Yu about the wedding.

After sitting for half an hour, the crowd dispersed, and the queen stayed behind. She helped the empress dowager manage the palace affairs.For the empress, the most urgent task now is Ruile's wedding. Wanyu's wedding was organized by the empress dowager, and she learned from the sidelines that Ruile's wedding was handed over to her by the empress dowager. If it goes well , maybe more palace affairs can be in her hands?

And the second thing is Wanyu, she has to move out of the palace!

"Imperial Grandmother." After talking about the wedding arrangements, the Empress called out with some hesitation, "I've been thinking about the residence in this palace for the past two days, and I'm afraid it might not be enough..."

"Oh?" The Empress Dowager half-closed her eyes. People are not in good spirits when they are old, and the past two years have not been tolerated by anyone.

"Accordingly, Kant and Uncle Ba are both married, so they should move to Nansan. Your Majesty doesn't have any grown-up sons, so that's just right. But..."

"Go ahead." The Empress Dowager didn't even open her eyes.

"After all, the two of them are separated by generations, and they have family members. Although there are three courtyards in the South Third Institute, they are in the same courtyard wall after all. The melon fields and plums are planted. Do you think... let them move out?" The queen restrained The speed of speech was slow, but the second half of the sentence was obviously accelerated a lot.

"I see," said the Empress Dowager, "What you said makes sense, let me think about it."

The queen smiled and said: "You have a good rest." Then she left.

When the Queen's figure turned out of the Compassionate Ning Palace, the Empress Dowager said: "It's hard to spend two days in peace, and it started to make trouble again."

Cuizhu smiled and said: "You don't know them yet, isn't there a lot of fighting in the palace?"

Lin Ruhai hasn't had a good time these two days. Firstly, he was scared by Doctor Zhang last time and got a bit of a cold. He drank medicinal soup for three days, but he still hasn't recovered from it. His third son, the third son who had never been praised by him.

However, this third son married the granddaughter of another cabinet scholar, Mr. Sun.
