The Queen Mother of the Red Chamber

Daiyu has been very busy these few days, after all, she will be the princess in the future, and her royal brother's wives and wives must be recognized all over.The empress has long recognized that she is her serious sister-in-law.The others are noble concubines, talented people.Currently there is only one Concubine Wu and Concubine Jia in the palace, and there are few other concubines. Except for the two concubines who met alone, the others all show their faces together and finish the job together. Just let them remember Daiyu. Therefore, Daiyu doesn't have to worry about these low-ranking people.

"Sister-in-law, do you really want to see me? Yu'er is not at ease." Under the strong request of Xiao Rong and the queen, Daiyu kept calling the emperor "brother" and the queen "sister-in-law". According to Xiao Rong's words, they are like a family If people want to be intimate, Daiyu will naturally not defy her. After a few days of addressing her like this, she also feels more at ease, but when she thinks about meeting those concubines and empresses, she always feels uncomfortable, and she is indeed a little withdrawn.

"Yu'er, trust the Queen's Wife, it's fine, there is the Queen's Wife here, let's see who dares to make things difficult for you, you just need to sit there and recognize the person, don't worry about the rest, let the Queen's Wife handle it." The queen is really looking more and more like a sister-in-law now. The emperor didn't have a sister in the first place, but there was a princess who was born to the emperor's favorite concubine. She didn't have a good relationship with the emperor. She married to another country early in the morning. There was only one little girl, but her temperament was like a boy, and suddenly there was a beautiful, charming girl, and a feeling of elder sister-in-law was ignited in her chest, not to mention how comfortable she was, and Daiyu Calling myself the emperor's sister-in-law and the emperor's brother made me feel that I and the emperor were special existences, and the other concubines stood aside.

"Okay, but Yu'er really doesn't talk." Daiyu pouted her mouth and asked again affirmatively.

Today Daiyu is wearing a long taupe-colored dress with light green outer hexagrams, and a headband made of small pearls on her head, which looks crystal clear and beautiful, quite impressive.The queen looked at this picture, couldn't help holding Daiyu's hand and said: "Good girl, don't worry, when did the emperor's sister-in-law lie to you? Besides, you will be my natal family in the future, and I won't protect you." Who are you protecting?"

After hearing this, Daiyu felt shy for a while, her face was stained with a layer of blush, making her look even more charming.The queen thought to herself, it was really cheap for the brat in the family. Back then, that brat bullied her a lot. Thinking of this, she was even more angry, so she decided to train Daiyu to be a tough woman and take good care of that brat. .So the queen planned a set of Daiyu's cultivation plan in her heart, which also laid a solid foundation for Daiyu's life as a fierce wife.At this time, in the Cheng'anhou residence of the queen's natal family, a handsome young man with a bit of a naughty face was watching "Tianxia Miscellaneous Talk". It's cold.

Although Daiyu was still somewhat resistant, she still wanted to see her "little sister-in-laws", otherwise, as Xiao Rong said, she would be too rude.In fact, Xiao Rong asked Daiyu to see these concubines not because of the rules or anything, but because of Sister Lin's introverted personality, and he wanted to break it up for her, lest when he went, Sister Lin would be bullied again, so I started training from this step. You must know that those cheap daughter-in-laws of mine are not cheap lamps. If Daiyu is more knowledgeable, she may be able to enlighten her earlier.This is not a problem after seeing too many tricks of Gongdou, Zhaidou and so on.

When we arrived at Fengluan Hall, the two noble concubines and other concubines had been waiting for a long time, but none of them expressed dissatisfaction. After all, one is the queen, and the other is a cheap little sister who is loved by her mother-in-law, neither of them is easy to offend Concubine Wu looked at Concubine Jia and thought to herself, this princess is from Concubine Jia’s family, so she might not be sure in the future It was against him again, he couldn't speak first, but Jia Yuanchun didn't seem to speak, he didn't know what he was thinking.

In fact, Jia Yuanchun is also a little entangled in his heart now. Although she is his own sister, she has never met before. He has heard her name a few times, and it is because Mrs. Wang swears at her in front of her. It wasn't as unbearable as Mrs. Wang said, but she felt like a fairy concubine, so she didn't turn around all of a sudden, and now that the queen was present, she couldn't seem too intimate, so she didn't speak.

The queen saw that none of the concubines in the next seat had any intention of speaking, and felt a little cold. As the biggest leader present, she was obliged to adjust the atmosphere. "Presumably, you all know the news. The person next to this palace is Princess Anping, the adopted daughter recognized by the empress dowager. I asked you to come here today because I want her to recognize me, so that I don't know each other when we meet in the future, but it can't be justified." gone."

"What the empress said is very true." All the concubines answered quickly.

"I don't know which daughter can be so favored by the empress dowager. It turns out that it is a character like a younger sister. She is really a girl who can be liked just by looking at it. Sister Anping, I am Concubine Wu. If you have time in the future, you can come to my place." Sit in Yunlin Palace." Seeing that the empress had spoken, Concubine Wu Gui also made friends with Daiyu.

"Thank you, Yuer, the concubine. I will be bothering you often in the future." Daiyu saw a woman wearing a bright yellow imperial concubine's palace attire, wearing a purple gold crown flower on her head, with soft features and a beautiful woman between her eyebrows. Mole, who looks quite charming, sees her talking to him deliberately, and rushes to respond.

"Sister Anping is really polite, hehehe." Concubine Wu Gui also had a friendly smile.

"Yu'er still recognizes me. I'm your big sister. When I was a child, my aunt brought you back to visit my relatives when I was a baby. I even hugged you. I didn't expect you to grow up so suddenly." Jia Yuanchun saw his deadly enemy Wu Guifei He is close to Lin Daiyu, and he can't care too much. Anyway, he knows that he is close to Lin Daiyu, and it is useless to avoid suspicion. It is better to build a good relationship with this powerful cousin, maybe it will be his help in the future.

Daiyu was always very curious about Jia Yuanchun. After all, in Jia's mansion, this is a god-like existence. Every time something goes wrong, the old lady and Mrs. Wang will mention Jia Yuanchun, always saying that there is something wrong with him. The lady is here, nothing.Therefore, Daiyu has always wanted to know what kind of strange person Jia Yuanchun is. Just after Wu Guifei introduced herself, she guessed that the other lady who did not speak was her elder sister Jia Yuanchun. She also looked dignified. A generous, mellow and noble woman, but she lacks the motherly demeanor of the empress, and she is not as charming as Wu Guifei, so she is a little disappointed, and seeing that she is not very close to me, she is still a little sad Yes, now that Jia Yuanchun mentioned something about his childhood, he suddenly felt a sense of closeness in his heart, and couldn't help shouting, "Big sister..."

When Jia Yuanchun heard Lin Daiyu affectionately calling him big sister, he knew that this first step was a success, and if he wanted to find another chance to get in touch with him in the future, there would be no problem, so he replied, "Hey, sister Yu'er, what's wrong with you in the future?" Where you are used to, even if you come to find Big Sister in Fengzao Palace, don’t be unfamiliar with Big Sister.”

"Well, Yu'er knows," Daiyu replied softly.

Seeing this scene, Concubine Wu Xian couldn't see Jia Yuanchun in her heart. She despised Jia Yuanchun, but she still couldn't feel angry. Who told her that there was no such a younger sister in her family, so she snorted a little.

The queen watched from the side, feeling a little apprehensive in her heart, but when she thought that she would be her own sister-in-law in the future and couldn't escape, she thought about it. If Yu'er could have a better relationship with these concubines, she would feel more at ease in the future. He said: "I'm so happy today, why don't you all stay and eat."

"Thank you, Empress, for the meal." Everyone hurriedly saluted and thanked,

The queen was about to order the palace people to pass the message to the imperial dining room, when she saw Ziyan, the eldest maid next to Xiao Rong, slowly walking in from outside the palace.

"My maidservant has met the empress, the empresses of the various palaces, and the princess of Anping." Ziyan saluted one by one after entering the hall.

"Excuse me, Ziyan, why are you here today?" the queen asked.

"I would like to report to Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager heard that the empress dowagers from all the palaces gathered together today, so she thought that she hadn't seen the empresses from all the palaces for a long time, so she asked the servants to come over and invite all the empresses to share lunch."

"Coincidentally, I just wanted to have dinner with all the younger sisters, and I happened to go to the Empress Dowager's place together, which is convenient." The queen has been very close to Xiao Rong recently, and she is not as trembling as before when speaking, but she often stands between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Fight the emperor on the same front.

However, when the other concubines heard that the Queen Mother had given them food, they felt a little fearful in their hearts.Especially Jia Yuanchun, when he thought that the Queen Mother didn't like him very much, even An An didn't let him invite him. This time, I don't know how to embarrass myself. I just hope that for the sake of Lin's cousin, don't make things difficult I'm fine, thinking about it, I went to Xiaorong Palace with everyone and the queen.

In order to meet his daughters-in-law, Xiao Rong had already packed up and sat in the hall drinking tea while waiting.When the empress brought a group of concubines into the palace, there was already someone waiting to say hello, and there was no need to tell the truth, just enter directly.

Daiyu followed the queen closely and was familiar with the Xiaorong Palace for a long time, so she didn't feel uncomfortable, but the concubines were all quiet, after all, she rarely saw the queen mother on weekdays, and neither the queen mother nor herself big close.

"The concubine sees the empress dowager, the empress dowager is happy and auspicious." The queen and all the concubines greeted each other.

"Don't be too polite, let's do everything casually today, so there is no need to be too polite."

"Thank you, Empress Dowager."

"Satisfactory, give me a seat." Xiao Rong instructed Cui Mama to arrange seats for the concubines, and then said to the queen and Lin Daiyu: "Queen and Yu'er, sit beside me."

The queen and Lin Daiyu naturally sat beside Xiao Rong, Xiao Rong pulled Lin Daiyu and said, "Yu'er is very elegantly dressed today."

"This is all the trouble of the emperor's wife, and the emperor's wife is preparing Yu'er's things." Lin Daiyu replied truthfully when she saw Xiao Rong praised herself.

"Well, the empress has a good eye. Young girls should dress like this to look energetic. Don't make the rouge smell too heavy, which will be cumbersome."

Seeing Xiao Rong's praise for her craftsmanship, the Queen couldn't help laughing and said: "Thank you Queen Mother for the compliment, it's because Yu'er was born well, my daughter-in-law doesn't dare to take credit for it."

"You guys are all in one mind now, and you all speak for each other. People say that sister-in-law and sister-in-law are not easy to get along with. Aijia sees that you don't have these things at all."

"Mother's queen..." Lin Daiyu felt a little embarrassed when she heard that Xiao Rong was teasing her.

Xiao Rong patted Lin Daiyu's hand to comfort him and said, "Okay, okay, let's not talk about Aijia." Then he said to the concubines, "Today I heard that you are all at the Queen's side. I was a little worried, so I thought of coming over to have fun together, and it can be regarded as a celebration for Princess Anping, we are all close people today, so there is no need to be too cautious."

The concubines were naturally in a hurry to respond.

Xiao Rong looked at the concubines carefully, and based on the memory of his previous life, he remembered some of the more important characters. For example, Concubine Wu Gui was Wu Nuan'er, the granddaughter of the prime minister at the time. The son liked this one very much, and one of the pretty women in pink palace attire was Yang Xue, the daughter of Hussar General Yang Ying.Of course, Jia Yuanchun also recognized her, so I won't say much here. As for the other concubines, who are not of high status, they don't pay attention to them on weekdays, so their impressions are not very deep.

"Nuan'er, your grandfather's health is better. The emperor said that he seems to be sick." Wu Xiang is a veteran of the two dynasties, and the emperor respects him very much on weekdays.

"Thank you, Empress Dowager, for your concern. I heard from my mother that after taking the medicine from the imperial doctor, my grandfather has recovered. I heard from my grandfather that he can still serve the court for decades." Concubine Wu Gui said softly.

"Well, that's good." Xiao Rong also nodded with a smile.He looked at Jia Yuanchun again, thinking that he was also Daiyu's relative after all, and it would be too ugly to do so. Although he was out of tune, he had to be considerate, so he asked, "Jia My concubine has also cultivated her body and mind recently, I heard that I often read Buddhist scriptures until late at night, although it is a good thing to study Buddhism, but you should take care of your body."

Jia Yuanchun didn't expect the Queen Mother to take care of him, he was very flattered, he settled down and said: "I thank the Queen Mother for your concern, I will definitely pay attention in the future."

"Well, you are Yu'er's cousin, and you can spend more time with Yu'er in the future." Xiao Rong's words were really just polite words, but Jia Yuanchun obviously took it seriously, flattered and said: "What the empress dowager said is, The concubine will definitely accompany Yu'er well."

Jia Yuanchun was very happy at this time, and he also understood that the queen mother's good looks towards him now were all for Lin Daiyu's sake, and he thought that he must take Lin Daiyu to his side in the future.

The concubines talked with Xiao Rong for a while, and Nanny Cui came in and said that the lunch was ready, Xiao Rong led everyone to eat, Daiyu saw that most of the table was filled with her favorite food, her appetite It's also much better. The concubine with a slight wink can see that it was specially prepared, and she can't help but sigh, this Princess Anping is really favored unusually.

After lunch, Xiao Rong ordered all the concubines to retreat, leaving only the queen and Lin Daiyu talking.

Now Xiao Rong is very happy in his heart. After all, sister Lin is now under his protection, and those people will be fawning on them, so there is no need to worry about who will be tricked in the future. Training, this arduous task, of course, is placed on the queen again.

"Queen, although Yu'er is young now, she has to make plans for the future. When she gets married in the future, of course she will be the mistress of the family. This skill in housekeeping is indispensable. You are the most virtuous and capable. Together with Yu'er, let Yu'er learn from the side."

"Queen mother, don't worry, I will definitely teach you well and train our Yu'er to be a qualified wife." In fact, the queen didn't think so, she also planned to train Lin Daiyu to be a strong wife, so that she could be a good wife in the future J's younger brother who is out of tune, and a certain younger brother suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, why is he always sweating during this time?

Daiyu blushed when she heard what the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law said, and then she thought about housekeeping, and said, "Mother, do all the girls have to learn this? None of the sisters in my grandmother's family have learned this. Second sister-in-law is doing it."

After hearing this, Xiao Rong thought, "Your grandparent's family is all incomprehensible, what good things can you do, how can you train the girls in your family all day long, it's not that you are going to be an oiran, they don't usually Learn practical things, and you will be disliked when you get married in the future." But he still said: "Yu'er, let's keep our eyes open, this emperor is not just the few sisters you know, Chaozhong Many ladies of important ministers start to learn some cooking at the age of seven. You know, what is the use of people if they don’t know the five grains? Of course, we can’t leave behind the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. This is good. We In the future, Yu'er will be an all-rounder in civil and military affairs."

After hearing this, Daiyu also felt that it made sense. In the past, she didn't understand anything, but these few days with the emperor's wife, she did see many things that were different from what she understood, which made her feel entangled I don't know if the current one is good or the old one was better.However, the queen mother and the emperor's wife will not harm themselves. What they want to learn by themselves must be good, and they must learn it well.

"Queen, Yu'er will definitely study hard and not let you and the emperor's wife down."

Xiao Rong nodded, expressing approval.Although under my own transformation, the talented sister Lin in the book may not appear, but if you want to exchange happiness for that kind of unrealistic thing, I would rather let sister Lin be an ordinary noble girl, so that she can be with her in the future. It is enough for one's lover to grow old forever.

The three talked for a while, and then a eunuch came to report that the emperor was coming to have a meal after handling the government affairs, so Xiao Rong ordered the imperial dining room to add some dishes that the emperor liked.The queen had to go back to wash and dress up again, but Daiyu was quite uncomfortable.Although he is his imperial brother, he has never met him before, besides, he is the most honorable person in the world, so how can he not feel uneasy.

Xiao Rong saw the girl's worry, and said: "Don't be afraid, your brother is the most kind person, and he loves his family very much. You are his only sister, so you should take good care of him." Seeing that Daiyu's face is getting better, she said to Nanny Cui: "Xingxin, take Yu'er to rest first, dinner is still early."

"No." Nanny Cui stepped forward to help Daiyu go to the bedroom.

After Jia Yuanchun returned to his palace, he felt very uneasy. The empress dowager has always disliked him, which is obvious to all.Now the Holy Majesty is a well-known filial son, if this continues, how can I have any chance.The only way now is to establish a good relationship with Lin Daiyu, and in the future, she can help herself in front of the Queen Mother, which may change the current situation.I heard that the Empress had appointed Lin Daiyu to be her sister-in-law early in the morning, but it was only because Daiyu was still young that she didn't make it clear.I want to take advantage of this time to act first and assign Lin Daiyu to Baoyu. In the future, I will not be afraid that this girl will not kiss me.Thinking about it, he asked the little eunuch beside him to report to Jia's mansion, and let Mrs. Wang enter the palace tomorrow.

For the past few days, Wang Xifeng has been preoccupied with things.Seeing that sister Lin has become the princess, he treated her well in the past. If he could speak well of himself, he might be able to get Jia Lian an official with real power.After all, Jia Lian's current job is really not on the table. He runs errands at home all day and has to suffer from both sides. If he can stand on his own in the future, he will be able to survive.But it's been so long, and I haven't had the chance to see Sister Lin, so I can't say this anymore.

"I said what's wrong with you recently. You've been out of your mind all day long. Didn't you feel unhappy if you didn't jump around a few times before?" Jia Lian was lying on the recliner enjoying this rare "holiday" and saw Wang Xifeng sitting motionless at the table Yes, he couldn't help asking.

Wang Xifeng spat, "What do you know? Who else can feel at ease now? I didn't see the old lady who repaired and repaired Miss Lin's yard. Even Aunt Xue made a lot of good things and put them in. This person is not here yet, he is so diligent, what is he thinking, you still don't know?"

"Hey, what are you talking about? It's none of our business what people are doing. The sky is falling and the top is holding it up. Don't you want to put something in it too?" Jia Lian ate a peanut, kicked his foot, and the chair moved by itself. Swing back and forth.

Wang Xifeng couldn't see his unscrupulous appearance, so she stood up abruptly, stepped on the foot of the chair, and the chair stopped.

Jia Lian couldn't think about it anymore, "I said what are you doing, I can't tell your husband if I am angry."

Seeing Jia Lian like this, Wang Xifeng became even more furious, pointing at Jia Lian and scolding: "You are unbelievable, I think about your things every day, why don't you worry about it at all, you spend all day just thinking about it. Running errands in the inner house, did you ever think about finding a half-time official in the past, so that you can set up your own business in the future? You know the current situation best, and it is not you who will be the home of Rongguo Mansion in the future. Do you still want to rely on it in the future? Living with your brother?"
