Qinglian in the Red Chamber

This morning, Jia Min, dressed in imperial attire, entered the palace in a sedan chair to pay his respects.

In Shou'an Palace, the Empress Dowager sent away the concubines who came to pay her respects early, leaving only Concubine Yi to talk with her.

"...The ancient imperial physician said that there is nothing wrong with the little Gege of the Lin family's body. It's just that he was seasick for more than ten days on the road and couldn't eat. That's why his body is weak. As long as he takes a good care of him for a while, he will be fine. Alright..." Concubine Yi was talking about Daiyu to the Queen Mother.

The Empress Dowager heard from Kangxi early in the morning that the little Gege of the Lin family was going to marry him to Brother Jiu as the heir to Fujin.Ever since she heard the news that the young princess of the Lin family had fallen ill as soon as she arrived in the capital, the old lady began to worry.She was afraid that the girl in this family was in poor health and would have problems with her children in the future.Knowing that Concubine Yi invited the judge from the Left Court to see the girl, the old lady asked Concubine Yi about it.

After hearing what Concubine Yi said, the queen mother nodded and sighed: "It's really embarrassing for such a young child. This seasickness is also a matter of suffering." As long as the girl's body is fine, everything else is fine, the queen mother feels so thinking.There are a lot of good things to nourish the body in the palace, so I just reward the child with more.

"Who says it's not? Even if this kind of thing is spread on an adult, it's too much. Besides, Yu'er is just a child." Concubine Yi sighed, she originally wanted to ask Daiyu to come into the palace Let's see for yourself, but now we can only wait.It's not easy to ask someone else's little girl to come into the palace with a disease. If Xiao Jiu finds out, why don't you be in a hurry with yourself?

The two sighed together.The queen mother no longer worried about the health of the girl from the Lin family, so she started talking about some interesting things about the girl.

"The Ai family heard from the emperor that the girl from the Lin family is very good-looking and has a very funny temper. The emperor even hugged her back then. It is said that the prince also thought that the child was cute and wanted to hug her, but that girl was not. Let him hug him. The emperor would often take that child from the Lin family to tease the crown prince, hehe..." The queen mother laughed and said the joke she heard from Kangxi.

"Because of this matter, the prince even came to Ai's house to complain. He said that Huang Ama bullied others, hehe..."

Concubine Yi also heard from brother Jiu about this matter.

"Xiao Jiu also mentioned this matter. The concubine heard it at the time, and I don't know if it's true..."

"At that time, the prince was depressed by that child of the Lin family..."

……

After the queen mother saw Jia Min, she knew that the girl from the Lin family must be good-looking.

The Queen Mother talked to Jia Min in a pleasant manner for a while, showing how much she cared for Daiyu.Concubine Yi was by the side, saying a word or two from time to time.

"Wait for your little Gege to take care of himself, and you bring that child into the palace to show Ai's family." At the end, the queen mother said.

Jia Min obeyed.

The queen mother also rewarded some satin and many medicinal materials for strengthening the body.Ask Jia Min to take it back.

When Concubine Yi sent Jia Min out.Instructed: "That child, Yu'er, will be taken care of. I have prepared a lot of things for her, and I have asked someone to wait at the palace gate, waiting for you to bring them when you go out."

Jia Min thanked him again.

Concubine Yi said again: "When you have nothing to do in the future, you can just hand in the sign and come in. Also bring that child Yu'er into the palace to meet him."

When Jia Min returned home, she first changed her clothes and combed her hair again.

"Ask someone to see if Yu'er has eaten?" Jia Min ordered to Mei Xiang who was waiting by her side.

After a while, a little maid came to report that Daiyu hadn't eaten yet.

After Jia Min found out, she asked someone to go to Yanziwu with the rewards from the Queen Mother and Concubine Yi.

"Mother." Seeing Jia Min coming, Daiyu stood up to greet her, and asked, "Mother, did your trip to the palace go smoothly?"

Jia Min took Daiyu's hand.Come and sit down at the rosewood marble table.The girls who followed Jia Min put the satin medicinal materials on the table, and then they all left the room, only Zhuran Meixiang stayed in the room to serve.

"My mother came to the palace this time to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager, and she also met Yifei. These are gifts from the Empress Dowager and Yifei." Jia Min said, "It's all for you."

Jia Min instructed again: "These medicinal materials and the like. Some are great tonics, and you don't need them now. Ask Shuxiang and the others to keep them for you, and register them in the warehouse first."

Daiyu twisted her braid with one hand, looked sideways at the pile of things on the table, pointed to the medicinal materials and said, "Mother should keep these medicinal materials and so on. I put them here for nothing."

He said again: "Brother is alone in the academy now, eating and drinking is probably not as good as when he was at home. He only has Lin Ping to serve him, so I am afraid he will not be very thorough. Why don't you wait for my brother to come back from vacation every time, and mother Give these herbs to my brother to nourish his body."

On weekdays, Lin Han eats and lives in the academy, but there are three days of vacation every month to go home and have a look.

Jia Min thought for a while, then said "Alright".

He said again: "These satins, Yu'er will pick some favorites first, and ask Wenxiu to make some casual clothes for you to wear. The rest can be kept or rewarded to anyone, as you like. .”

Daiyu nodded in agreement.

Jia Min gave Daiyu another carved red sandalwood box, and said, "This is also a gift from Concubine Yi, you can keep it for yourself."

Daiyu opened the box and saw that inside was a pair of jade bracelets with spring colors.

That bracelet has an excellent water head, without any impurities.

"The color of these bracelets is very rare, and the color of the water is translucent. It is a good thing." Jia Min looked at the pair of bracelets with Daiyu's hands.

There is a piece of flower paper under the bracelet, on which there is no writing, but a half-bloomed lotus is drawn with a few strokes.

Jia Min didn't understand the meaning of the lotus painted on the paper, but guessed that the bracelet was given to Daiyu by Brother Jiu borrowing the hand of Concubine Yi, and couldn't help laughing secretly at Brother Jiu's cuteness.

Daiyu picked up the flower note, looked at it for a while, and gradually a slight smile rose from the corner of her mouth.

"Cough cough" Jia Min coughed twice, jokingly said: "Okay, don't look at it, if you look at the flower note again, you will see a hole."

Daiyu blinked her eyes, and said, "Mother is always making fun of him. Don't mother think that the lotus painting on the paper is very beautiful?"

"Good-looking is good-looking, and Yu'er doesn't need to stare at it." Jia Min said, "Just put it away. When you have nothing to do in the future, just take it out and look at it."

Then, Jia Min said that he would stay for lunch.

"Knowing that my mother is coming, I ordered them to prepare more dishes early in the morning," Daiyu said.

"Scholarly, ask someone to go and see if the small kitchen is ready." Then Daiyu said to Jia Min: "Mother went to the palace early this morning, and I think breakfast is very early. Now , Mother is probably hungry too, we'd better have lunch earlier."

Jia Min responded with a smile, and only said, "Yu'er has a heart."

In Yikun Palace, Brother Nine was reclining on the beauty couch with one hand propped up, flipping through the roster of this year's showgirls in his hand.The slender fingers like white jade twisted the roster and flipped through the pages, occasionally gesticulating on the paper.The long and slender eyelashes are like a feather fan, flapping one after another.The concubine's thin lips hooked slightly, bringing out a clear and shallow arc.

The two little palace maids guarding Yifei's room sneaked glances at the beauty's couch from time to time.The two of them wished they could make that roster incarnate, so that brother Jiu's finger could be drawn on their body one by one.Thinking of this, the two blushed unconsciously.There was a sound of footsteps, from far to near.The two little maids quickly adjusted their expressions, and stood respectfully where they were.

Concubine Yi came back from Shou'an Palace, and as soon as she entered the room, she saw Brother Jiu looking through the roster of beautiful girls, and asked with a smile: "Is there anyone who can catch your eye?"

Brother Jiu got up from the couch, helped Concubine Yi to sit down at the table, and asked an irrelevant question: "Did Er Niang see Mrs. Lin? Did Mrs. Lin say how Yu'er is doing? Is it better?"

Concubine Yi squinted angrily at the past, but saw the undisguised worry in her son's eyes, which at least suppressed the sourness in her heart.

"Mrs. Lin, Er Niang saw you. Looking at Mrs. Lin's appearance, I knew that the little Princess of the Lin family was really looking good."

Daiyu could already see her stunning beauty when she was a baby, but Brother Jiu didn't care much about it.

"The Empress Dowager is also very concerned about the health of little Gege of the Lin family. She asked Mrs. Lin, and Mrs. Lin said that she has recovered a lot. The Empress Dowager also asked Mrs. Lin to bring the child into the palace to show her to the old man." Concubine Yi finished, Picking up the teacup, he took a sip and said, "I know what you're thinking, and I will always find a chance for you to meet."

"Xiao Yu'er is fine, so my son will feel at ease." Brother Jiu said with a smile.

Concubine Yi raised her eyes and wanted to say something, but she saw that all the maids guarding the room were blushing, and hurriedly said to Brother Jiu: "Stop laughing. If you keep laughing like this, the people in my room They're all going to be idiots."

Concubine Yi called Liuli again, and ordered: "Tell them to leave. It's a hot day, with so many people guarding the room, it's getting hotter."

Brother Nine sorted out the roster of show girls and put them back to their original place.

"Among the show girls this time, is there anyone you can admire?" Concubine Yi asked again, bringing up the old story.

"My son just has nothing to do, so he just flipped through it casually." Brother Jiu said while turning his fingers. "I'm going to give it to Twelve Fingers Fujin this time, right?"

Concubine Yi sighed helplessly, had no choice but to give up, and followed Brother Jiu's words and said: "Yes. What your emperor Ama meant was that you pointed to Fujin Fujin for Twelve, and Fujin Fujin for Shi Thirty-Four. And the older brothers above you also want to add people..."

After finishing speaking, Concubine Yi couldn't hold back, and poked her with one finger.

"You are also a stubborn child. The little girl from the Lin family is still six years away from being drafted. You have really waited all these years. I don't care. I will definitely point you to a Fujin this year..."

Brother Jiu was rarely in a good temper when he heard Yi Fei complaining, he just smiled and remained silent.
