[Red Chamber] Daiyu Reborn

In the inner room of Jia Yuanchun, the virtuous concubine of Fengzao Palace, the couch of the water-red embroidered spirit bird is as soft as a feather. Sleeping on it, the whole body is wrapped in the softest warmth, which is extremely considerate and unique. reality.

It has been a month since he became a virtuous concubine, but the emperor has only been here three times... I don’t understand, there are newcomers in the harem, with Shi Zhaoyi and Zhen Zhaorong Zhuyu in front, and there are many beauties with their own merits. Even if the emperor doesn’t like them , but also for the sake of the forces behind them, acting on the occasion-and, is it really acting on the occasion?

Thinking of what I saw on the day when I was conferred the title of Concubine Xian, Shi Zhaoyi's stunning face, Zhen Zhaorong's grandeur... Yuan Chun felt a bit of bitterness in his heart, he was raised in the boudoir of the Duke's mansion, and he thought he was perfect, but he didn't know until he entered the palace , I am just a drop in the ocean of mediocrity, and I have no qualifications to be proud at all.

The gentle and delicate lotus steps came slowly, and the voice of the maid who delivered the medicine was very low, and she was respectful: "Concubine Xian, it's time for you to drink the anti-fetal medicine."

Yuan Chun, who was lying on the couch, still frowned and looked at the top of the thorn gold tent, as if he didn't hear it.

The old nanny standing aside couldn't help frowning, took the anti-fetal medicine from the maid's hand, walked to Yuan Chun, and raised her voice slightly: "Concubine Xian, you are twins now, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the dragon fetus." ,take care."

Yuan Chun bit his lip, and then slowly sat up with the help of the maid, caressing his slightly protruding belly, took the anti-fetal medicine from the nurse's hand, brought it to his lips, frowning and enduring the stinging sticky smell Sense, gulp down.

After completing the task, the nanny finally breathed a sigh of relief, took the medicine bowl and gave it to the maid to take away, and said to Yuan Chun sternly again: "Empress Xian, the imperial doctor said that your pregnancy is not very stable, you need to take care of it."

Seeing her completely preaching expression, Yuan Chun frowned again, feeling the bitterness in his stomach that had just been forced up again, dizzy on his lips, dizzy in his heart——Feng Zao Gong, this virtuous concubine himself seems to be unable to do anything Like the master, just like a precious prisoner, being watched closely by everyone.What they look at is not themselves, but the precious flesh and blood in their stomachs.

Yuan Chun knew that from the concubines in the harem, to the servants in the palace, and even the old friends of the Shang Palace Bureau, they all looked down on him, not only because he did not have the support of a prominent family background, but also because, in their eyes, he was just a shameless A bed-climbing palace lady, not a lady who actually entered the palace through drafts.

In the concubine draft of this dynasty, only the daughters of officials of the third rank and above can be selected. Although Jia’s mansion has the title of a state mansion, Jia Zheng himself is only a fifth-rank official, and Yuan Chun is not eligible to participate in the election; The palace ladies and officials were all selected from good families, so Jia Zheng and Jia She took the risk of fighting to send Yuan Chun to the palace as a female historian.However, if it is impossible to become a concubine, female officials will not be able to leave the palace until they are 25 years old. It is obviously a bit crazy for the Jia family to use the only prostitute of this generation to make such a capital.

Thinking of this, Yuan Chun didn't know if he should blame his father for betting his daughter's life's happiness, or if he should be thankful that he met the emperor on the way to deliver books to the imperial study, was too nervous and accidentally fell down, and was helped by the emperor himself... ...Recalling Yun Shuo's gentle eyes when he helped him up, Yuan Chun felt that there was some strength in his limp body.

Knowing that she shouldn't expect extravagance, but, that is the only warmth she has in this indifferent palace, how can she not be nostalgic?

"Concubine Xian, please don't bend over, it's not good for the child." Seeing that Yuan Chun was in a daze while maintaining a half-lying position, Mammy couldn't help reminding her again.

Yuan Chun had no choice but to lie down again, lying down with his body half sideways according to the wishes of the nanny, and the bitterness in his heart was even worse: this nanny was sent by the imperial concubine to administer medicine, not from her Fengzao Palace, Whether it's public or private, she can't afford to offend.

Fengzao Palace fell into an unbearable silence again. After a long time, Yuan Chun asked in a low voice: "Nurse, it's not good for children to stay in bed all the time. I want to go out for a walk." Also calling himself "Ben Gong", Yuan Chun Not only did this sentence not have the arrogance of Concubine Zhou, but it showed a bit of trembling and shrinking.

Nanny Si Yao stood up straight and looked at Yuan Chun, her voice was even more rigid: "Your Majesty's body is weak, and the fetus in the womb is not stable, it's better to take care of it. The imperial doctor said, after the first three months, you can get it right." Activity."

"Understood..." Yuan Chun lowered his eyes, and could only lie down again, quietly going through another day and night of doing nothing.

The concubine Xian is pregnant and resting behind closed doors. The Fengzao Palace is full of birds, and the people inside are like prisoners, with a bright appearance but a desolate heart.This is like an ascetic in the desert, although he brought enough water and food, he was alone in the long yellow sand, listening to the wind and sand whistling in his ears, and the rumbling sound contained dead silence... In despair, there is no solution to the dryness of the soul.

In Fenghua Palace, Concubine Zhou was leaning on the beauty couch, her long gilt fingernails slowly slid across the clear and clear handwriting on the account book, and after a long time, she slightly raised her phoenix eyes and asked: "The emperor's That means, let Concubine Li Shu, Shi Zhaoyi and Zhen Zhaorong assist in the affairs of Shangfu Bureau, Shang Food Bureau and Shangyi Bureau?"

The six princes in the palace are Shanggong, Shangyi, Shangfu, Shangshi, Shangfu, and Shanggong, who are in charge of the government of the palace. Among them, Shanggong is the most important, and Shangfu, Shangfu and Shanggong are the most lucrative.Although only Shangyi, Shangfu, and Shangshi were allocated this time, half of the power of Concubine Zhou has already been allocated in terms of quantity.

The eunuch next to the beauty's couch bowed, and answered cautiously: "Yes. But empress, don't worry, the emperor has said that there are still noble concubines and empresses who are the prime minister for the matter of the Six Palaces."

Concubine Zhou suddenly raised her head and smiled sweetly, but there was a hint of coldness in her rolling eyes: "Of course I can't disobey the emperor's will. Now the harem is much busier than before, and I am afraid that someone will be careless. Something went wrong, which sister has been wronged—but, what about Concubine Xian? There is no reason to let Zhaoyi and Zhaorong, who are the third rank, assist in palace affairs, but leave Concubine Xian alone?"

Speaking of Yuanchun, Concubine Zhou really tried her best to calm down, so she didn't show her gnashing of teeth.She is in charge of the Shang Palace Bureau, and she already knew about Yuan Chun's affair with Yun Shuo during the New Year's Eve. Although the Jia family and the Lin family have such a close relationship, it is really weak on the one hand, and on the other hand, if this matter really causes trouble It's not clear which side is beneficial, but three times—Concubine Zhou feels very bitter. She has been in the palace for seven years and has not conceived, and she knows that Yun Shuo will not give her a chance to conceive. , even if it is a daughter.

Even if Jia Yuanchun was one of the nine concubines, Concubine Zhou would have the means to take the child of this obscure woman by her side to raise, but she happens to be of the same rank as herself, and one is a virtuous concubine. There is no hope for the concubine... Thinking of this, Concubine Zhou felt resentment and bitterness in her heart.

The eunuch quickly bowed and said with a smile: "The concubine Xian is weak and she is pregnant with a dragon fetus. Naturally, comfort is the most important thing. Please trouble the concubine for the affairs of the harem."

"The one who is pregnant with a child is Jingui, of course I can't compare with it." Concubine Zhou raised the corners of her lips slightly again, and gave the account book in her hand to the eunuch, "Go and give it to Concubine Shu and the other two younger sisters. In addition, let them know Come to my place in the morning, even though they are all sisters, you have to hand over things clearly." Concubine Zhou understands that her palace affairs from last year to today are already stretched to the limit.Now, even the Supreme Emperor is afraid of the Zhou family, and he has to avoid the edge for the time being.

——Anyway, there is still a living target in the harem, Concubine Xian.The dove occupying the magpie's nest will eventually pay the price for his stupidity.

In Qinfangyuan, the smell of gunpowder these days is very strong.

It was lunch time again, and on the round table embroidered with peonies, Nongyue watched the palace servants carefully laying out dishes one by one, and the cloud in his eyes became more and more cloudy: "Didn't the palace say that I want blue and white peony shrimp balls? Three consecutive dishes are served." Not even a day?"

The court lady and eunuch immediately knelt on the ground: "Princess forgive me, the blue and white peony shrimp balls are complicated to make, and the green plums are used as a tribute. The imperial dining room can only make one or two dishes a day. The weather is getting hotter recently. The empress dowager's side ..."

Nongyue raised her phoenix eyes: "Of course the emperor's grandmother's portion should be given away, but for three consecutive days, you all only made 'one portion'?"

"Princess..." The trembling eunuchs hesitated for a long time before whispering, "Princess forgive me, the concubine Xian is pregnant with a child and loves to eat sour food, so..."

"So that's how it is!" Nong Yue smiled brilliantly, "Should I have said it earlier, is Ben Gong such an unreasonable person? Get up, go down to receive the reward, and trouble you to come here specially to deliver food to Ben Gong."

Seeing all the servants retreating in cold sweat, Nongyue let out a "hum", then raised her chopsticks and looked to the side: "Daiyu, let's eat."

Daiyu kept her mouth shut, but when she saw Nongyue deliberately poking the barely touched rice in her bowl with her chopsticks, she frowned and said softly, "Princess, blue and white peony shrimp balls You ate it for four or five days in a row before, even if you didn’t have it these days, it’s okay, right?”

Nongyue continued to poke the rice, her proud little brows were tightly frowned, as if she was thinking about something.

Daiyu took advantage of the fact that Nongyue's attention was attracted by the bowl of rice that was about to be smashed, she turned around without a trace, and gave a small wink to the maid beside her.

The palace lady understood, and brought a plate of things from the small food box she kept behind her, and put it on the table. The red, orange, white, and green balls were small, exquisite, and cute. When you smell them carefully, they are even more sweet and fragrant.

"What is this?" Nongyue's eyes lit up.

Daiyu covered her mouth, giggled and said, "You will know after you try it."

The palace maid behind hurriedly helped with a smile: "Princess, Miss Lin made this by herself. I just asked the servants to try it in the small kitchen. As a result, all the servants were hungry and their eyes lit up!"

"Really?" Nongyue suspiciously took the dim sum brought by the maid, "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Sweet hawthorn, the hawthorn has its core removed, but the inside is wrapped in jujube paste. It is hot and sweet and melts in the mouth. Although it does not require complicated knife skills, it is a very heart-warming snack.

"The workmanship is good," Nong Yue squinted her cat's eyes after eating, shaking her head and looking at Daiyu with a sly smile, "If I am a man, I will definitely marry Lin Meier with the beauty of eight-carried sedan chairs."

"Princess!" Daiyu couldn't help blushing, and said coquettishly, "Speak carefully!"

Daiyu saw that Nongyue vomited for several days because of a dish of blue-and-white peony shrimp balls, and she didn't eat much food, but she tried to persuade her to no avail, so she remembered that when she was out of the palace, Nongyue liked to eat candied haws the most.Daiyu hollowed out the hawthorn according to the method of making candied haws, mixed it with jujube paste, and then replaced the icing sugar with milk paste, which really won the favor of the little princess.

"Hey," Nongyue patted her shoulder pretending to be old-fashioned, and smiled again, "For your 'loyalty', I will reward you—well, let's eat first, and the surnamed Xiao will be rewarded later." Come here, I allow you to secretly listen behind."

Hearing this, Daiyu obviously paused for a moment when she moved her chopsticks, and there was a slight fluctuation in her heart again: the most favored princess wanted a dish that was not expensive but novel, but she was slapped in the face for three consecutive days for no reason.Even I can see that someone is using the name of the imperial dining room to try to cause conflicts between Nongyue and Sister Yuanchun, can Nongyue really fall into the trap?Brother Xiao is an imperial physician, and Nongyue ordered him to come over at this time... Could it be that Nongyue already has a plan?

Even though Daiyu deliberately procrastinated, the lunch time slipped by quickly, Nongyue motioned Daiyu to sit behind the screen, Daiyu smiled helplessly: I am indeed a little worried about Sister Yuanchun, but peeping on such things...

"This palace is just trying to keep you from being aboveboard, what's the matter?" Nongyue glanced at the screen triumphantly, but frowned again, "No, it won't be good if you call out suddenly, and someone surnamed Xiao will hear you; how about it, let's Change the room, go to the next door, there is a suite, you hide in it, you are only allowed to listen, not to make a sound, understand?"

"Daiyu understands." Daiyu reluctantly followed Nongyue to the next door, while thinking carefully in her heart: I heard that the affairs in the palace have been divided among Concubine Li Shu, Shi Zhaoyi and Zhen Zhaorong recently, and Zhen Zhaorong is in charge of the Shangshi Bureau. , but Concubine Zhou Gui has been running the palace for many years, so it is easy to do such a small trick, and Concubine Li Shu... Daiyu still has not figured out why the eunuch next to Concubine Li Shu was the one who sent Sister Yuanchun into Qinfang Courtyard?Why did those eunuchs die so silently afterwards?

The author has something to say: Sister Yuanchun will not be able to give birth to the eldest son of the emperor...the cruel meow covered her face and rolled away...
