Seeing the doubts in Daiyu's eyes, Mother Kang continued to explain calmly: "Six months ago, the girl went to the south with the uncle, and it was at that time that Master Jia Yucun, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, sued the second master of the Zhen family. !"

"Did he find Zhen Yinglian?" Daiyu couldn't help being surprised, three years of travel had taught her a lot, the girl who was abducted into the foreign slave market according to the legend, was able to be found back, how amazing is this? What a coincidence of luck?

"That's right, I found it." Mother Kang nodded, "Miss Zhen was redeemed by the Jia family from the giant wooden village of the Burmese."

Daiyu frowned: "People from my grandmother's family went to redeem her... how can they be sure that it is Zhen Yinglian?" According to her brother, Zhen Yinglian was only two or three years old when she was kidnapped, how can she remember what happened when she was a child?

"This is the most troublesome part." Mother Kang frowned disapprovingly, "The Zhen family does not admit that this girl is Zhen Shiyin's daughter, but the Jia family produced a secret letter from the second master of the Zhen family who communicated with foreigners in the letter. In order to prevent future troubles, the second master of the Zhen family sold Zhen Yinglian to the most ferocious local indigenous leader. It is said that that tribe is a cannibal... But it was probably a trick from the heavens. The moment Miss Zhen was sold, that tribe was killed Siam was wiped out, and then Siam fought with the Burmese, and this came and went, and Miss Zhen entered the giant wooden stockade of the Burmese."

Daiyu finally understood why Mother Kang told her these things. Zhen Yinglian was just a pawn, and what was reflected behind her was the fighting skills of the Zhen and Jia families. It also reminded her of the news that Nongyue gave her as a birthday present: Zhen Zhaorong was three months pregnant.

The matter of Sister Yuanchun's pregnancy was firmly remembered by the grandmother and uncle in the Zhen family's head. After that, Sister Yuanchun did not spread any good news, but now Zhen Zhaorong is pregnant with a dragon fetus. A sharp thorn in the heart of the entire Jia family?

"Because the Zhen family didn't recognize her, Master Jia Yucun took Miss Zhen as his adoptive daughter and named her Jia Suyao." After finishing the story of Zhen Yinglian, Mother Kang sighed heavily, "Girl, these Mrs. Nian Jiatai has always wanted to take you to live in the mansion, but you have refused in the name of being filial, and now it is a critical moment, you and the uncle have returned to Beijing, I am afraid there..."

Daiyu lowered her eyes and understood that even though the Lin family had never meant to stand behind the Jia family and fight against the Zhen family, kinship is kinship, even if uncle and elder brother deny it, grandma will always have a way to create illusions for others—just as Three years ago, sister Yuanchun gave herself a generous gift in front of her imperial order.

Although she is not a girl from the Jia family, but since that time, Zhen Hualian has not only treated her with a gun and a stick, but even punished her with every word.

"Let's take a step and see. I can't hide for a lifetime. Besides, my family's property is in the capital. How can I have the nerve to let my brother worry about me?" Daiyu thought for a while, but she recovered and comforted Kang Mammy is here.

"Forget it, I'm not thoughtful, just after the girl came back, I used these crap things to disturb the girl's peace..."

Facts have proved that Mother Kang is very thoughtful, and Daiyu's "take a step and see step by step" does not allow her to think too much. Daiyu has only been home for three days, and someone came to the palace to declare: The concubine Xian called Miss Lin into the palace to dinner.

Daiyu was dumbfounded, and hurriedly stuffed money to the father-in-law who delivered the decree, and only then did she get the complete news: It turns out that the palace is holding a peach blossom feast these days, and the banquets are all high-ranking wives in the capital, but the rules that wives must abide by Many, paired with peach blossoms, not only does not add vitality, but gives people a sense of lifelessness; today, the concubine Xian concubine suddenly said to the emperor, it is better to take some girls from the prince's official family to the palace to play together. It happens that many prince's families are looking for wives recently , isn't this a good time for ladies to meet each other?

The emperor didn't want to enjoy the peach blossoms and turn it into a Buddhist temple, so he readily agreed.

Not to mention the shadow of the imperial decree here, even Daiyu could not disobey the imperial decree of the concubine Xianfei.Even though she was completely unprepared, Daiyu was in a hurry to ask Mother Kang to help her change her clothes, and then hurriedly got on the sedan chair into the palace, feeling quite hopeless all the way—the incident happened so suddenly that Nongyue didn't have time to send a message to herself. Now I can only pray that the "Zhen Yinglian incident" that caused the Zhenjia family to fight red-eyed will not get involved with me, right?

--how can that be possible?

As soon as Daiyu entered the Liuqing Garden where the peach blossoms were enjoyed in the sedan chair, she felt a strong jolt, and then the sedan chair tilted, and Daiyu screamed "ah", and almost rolled out of the sedan chair—even though the critical moment Daiyu narrowly grabbed the sedan door to support her body, but one foot slipped out uncontrollably, knocked on the ground and sprained, Daiyu felt a piercing pain, and suddenly she collapsed on the sedan chair mouth, his face was pale, his head covered in cold sweat, and he hugged his ankle and gritted his teeth to bear the pain.

The sudden subversion here startled all the wives and wives in the audience. They all looked over and saw the little guards who brought Daiyu in with a pale face. The person who caused the accident—— ——The little girl with a frighteningly gloomy face stood aside coldly, as if she didn't shy away from the fact that she rushed over and threw the sedan chair violently.

Daiyu endured the pain and raised her head. When she met the little girl's gloomy gaze, she suddenly felt a chill behind her back: "Princess Playing the Qin..." Although she had never seen the second princess playing the piano, she recognized the princess's palace attire. Already eight years old, she was dressed very much like Nongyue back then, but instead of being confident and agile, those eyes were full of biting chill and hatred...

Daiyu couldn't help shivering, and quickly lowered her eyes.

"...Come here, call the imperial doctor!" There were already people yelling at the side, but Daiyu recognized one of them, it was the wife of Duke Zhen, Lan Yiqian's grandmother.

Mrs. Lan has been guarding the border with her husband for many years, and she is far more heroic than ordinary women. She picked up Daiyu in one hand, put it on a chair, and then gave orders to several stunned servants.

The servants scrambled away, but Nongqin was still standing there, biting her lip hard with her sharp teeth, as if she was about to bleed.

Daiyu didn't understand why Princess Nongqin hated her so much, but when she cuddled up against the strong arm of the old lady Lan, her heart was inexplicably moved, she whispered "Thank you", then pulled the old lady Lan's sleeve, holding back Painful and softly said: "Madam, don't disturb the imperial doctor because of me. The injury is not serious, I just go back to see the doctor myself."

"Son, what can I do..." Mrs. Lan looked at Daiyu's swollen ankle, and seeing that Nongqin was still standing there with a ghostly look, she couldn't help frowning and yelled at the maids next to her, "You guys How did you act poorly? Didn’t you see that the second princess’s arm just touched the sedan chair? You didn’t take the princess down to get the medicine, the princess is precious, how can you be so negligent?”

At that scene just now, anyone with a discerning eye could see clearly that it was Nongqin who knocked over Daiyu's sedan chair on purpose, but this was a royal peach blossom banquet, even if the old lady was a first-class order, she was not qualified to tell the princess what to do. She can point at Sang and scold Huai, and hope that the second princess will stop there and stop causing other troubles.

Only then did the maids come to their senses and came over to persuade her, but Nongqin was a princess after all, if she didn't leave, who would dare to force her?

Just when all the wives, ladies, maids and eunuchs were at a loss, a slightly higher female voice suddenly came: "What's going on? How did you make a fuss?"

Like clusters of flowers, several beauties with just the right color and their own merits came slowly, surrounded by a crowd of palace people, and the people in the courtyard hurriedly bowed down - the people who came were the four highest-ranking concubines in the palace, Concubine Li Shu, Concubine Jia Concubine Xian, Shi Zhaoyi, Zhen Zhaorong.

The most colorful one is of course Shi Zhaoyi, but the youngest one is Concubine Li Shu. It seems that the palace has indeed "changed" a Shu concubine surnamed Li.Although Zhen Zhaorong stood at the end, her luxurious demeanor should not be underestimated. In comparison, Yuan Chun, who was a virtuous concubine, was the bleakest. The nobles in the palace treated her a little lukewarm, so she has never been involved in palace affairs so far.

Daiyu was also put down by Mrs. Lan. Although her legs and feet were inconvenient, she still supported her upper body with her hands and reluctantly knelt down, but her elbows were delicate after all, and Daiyu almost fell down, but she suddenly threw herself into a warm embrace.

"Sister Yuanchun, no... Concubine Xian?" Daiyu realized that she had made a mistake, and hurriedly changed her words.

Yuan Chun ignored the probing gazes of the "sisters" next to him, handed Daiyu to his close maid, and waved for several imperial physicians, who went to the inner palace to treat Daiyu's injuries.

Zhen Zhaorong, who stayed behind, snorted coldly at Yuan Chunsudan's back, and said deliberately: "Sister Xianfei is really considerate and considerate. In comparison, those of us who don't move don't really hurt people."

Shi Zhaoyi's smile is gorgeous and beautiful, her gestures are like spring breeze and rain, and her voice is soft, but it reveals the power that people can't refute: "Miss Lin is the cousin of Sister Xianfei, and her blood is close. Sister Xianfei is naturally nervous. So arrogant?"

Seeing her speak, Zhen Zhaorong's face darkened, but he didn't say any more.

As for Concubine Li Shu - she still doesn't care about arguing with her sisters, looking at Nongqin standing there like a bamboo shoot, Concubine Li Shu is really angry, if it wasn't for the royal princess who couldn't beat her, she really wanted to slap her She slapped her, her willow eyebrows stood upright, and she gritted her teeth and asked, "Qin'er, even if you are a princess, you shouldn't be so arrogant and rude! What are you doing standing here, why don't you hurry back!"

Nongqin looked at Concubine Li Shu arrogantly without fear: Although she was young, she knew clearly that this woman was just her aunt, not her mother, who was dead—her mother was because of Xian The concubine died because of that Lin Daiyu!

"Take the second princess back!" Concubine Li Shu signaled the two nuns to forcibly move the piano stand away, then rubbed her forehead and forced a smile at the oncoming Yuan Chun, "Sister Xianfei, don't blame me, I will definitely let you go!" That girl personally went to Miss Lin to make amends."

"Sister, you don't have to be polite, the second princess is just being naughty for a while." Yuan Chun smiled indifferently.

Zhen Zhaorong was too lazy to watch the two of them practice Tai Chi, and suddenly interjected: "How is Miss Lin's injury?"

Yuan Chun looked at her indifferently: "The injury is not serious, but she can't walk for at least half a month. I have already sent her out of the palace."

Zhen Zhaorong's face suddenly tightened: "Send it out of the palace? Didn't the inner court secretary come to report this morning, saying that there are not enough soft sedan chairs?" Originally, it was enough, but Yuan Chun suddenly suggested that the emperor let the ladies of all families enter the palace to enjoy the flowers. The company was not prepared, and the sedan chair was stretched for a while, which made Zhen Zhaorong, who was in charge of the matter, hate Yuanchun even more.

"It doesn't matter, there are some big sedan chairs in the palace, I asked the two girls to share one sedan chair and go home."

——Sit together?

Zhen Zhaorong's complexion became even uglier—the girls who entered the palace today included not only Lin Daiyu, Zhen Hualian, and Lan Yiqian, who had already stayed in the palace, but also girls from various concubines' families who had received special favors, such as Shihou's family. Shi Xiangyun, for example... Jia Suyao, who made the Zhen and Jia families almost turn against each other, who is also the so-called "Zhen Yinglian".

Mrs. Lan watched the ladies come and go with cold eyes, and while they were not paying attention, she quietly hugged her granddaughter Lan Yiqian, and whispered: "You go to Princess Nongyue and tell her that Miss Lin has been sent to Jia's house. .”

Lan Yiqian didn't know why, but still slipped away from behind.

Mrs. Lan was thinking in her heart: the Zhen Guo Gong family is a family of martial arts, and they often fight in the northwest. Compared with the Jia family who is fake and mighty and the Zhen family who is dragged out of mud by pulling radishes, the Lin family with a simple population but outstanding military exploits is more suitable for joining forces. The object—what's more, there is a Xiao family hidden behind the Lin family.

……

Daiyu was leaning in a spacious soft sedan chair, through the curtain of the sedan chair, the more she looked at it, the more she felt that something was wrong, and finally she couldn't help asking the pretty but dark-skinned girl in front of her: "This... doesn't seem to be returning home. the way to my house."

"This is the way back to Jia's mansion. Miss Lin hasn't been here for so many years, so she naturally forgot." The dark-skinned girl looked at Daiyu who was in doubt, and smiled lightly, "My name is Jia Suyao, nice to meet you."
