Continuing the Fate of the Red Mansion and Jade Water

No one dared to reprimand and snub her. Even if they entered the palace, when they were most unhappy, Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang would try their best to open up all kinds of joints so that she would not be wronged.Love luxuriant.Please remember this site

Ever since I became a concubine, except for the New Year’s Eve night, the emperor will accompany the queen mother to watch the new year. In the early morning of the first day of the lunar new year, concubines from all palaces will give gifts to the concubines, and the queen mother and the emperor will also have their own rewards. Birthday peaches are indispensable. Apart from receiving the banquet together in the Empress Dowager's Palace this year, the sun has risen to the very center of the sky until now. Only Concubine Jia brought a few low-ranking concubines to celebrate her birthday. There are no shadows.

He was in a bad mood, and Yuan Chun was not in the mood to deal with them, so he forced a smile and said a lot of words of gratitude, and then sent away those who came to congratulate him.Leaning against the door frame and looking out, although the whole country is celebrating the New Year, the Fengzao Palace is deserted, only a few maids guarding the side, and the little eunuchs have taken time out to play.

Yuan Chun felt more and more sad, even if the queen mother and the emperor had forgotten about her as a guilty person, no one from the top and bottom of Jia's house came, and they could receive family members on the first day of the new year, did they forget her too? ?

She shed a few tears, turned around and just walked back, when I heard a burst of hurried footsteps, looking back, it turned out to be holding the piano, although he was in a hurry, his face was happy.

"Your Majesty, the old lady has brought two wives and three girls into the palace."

"Really, where have you gone? Go out with me to greet you." Yuan Chun was excited to go to the palace gate, but was stopped by Baoqin, and said: "Your Majesty, wait a moment, according to the rules, the old lady wants to First go to the imperial concubine's side to say hello, if the queen mother is free, she will still have an audience with the queen mother."

Yuan Chun was a little frustrated, and returned slowly to the inner hall. After a while, he said leisurely: "The queen mother may not be willing to meet. Yesterday's palace banquet was full of female relatives of the princes and ministers. The Cishou Palace almost couldn't hold it. Only the members of our family have been reduced, and there is no old lady on the list of invitations, the dignified and dignified Mrs. Duchess, but she is not included in the invitation, which shows how much effort the imperial concubine has put in."

Baoqin looked around quickly, and persuaded: "Your Majesty, be careful, maybe there are other reasons in it. Besides, didn't the eldest wife and grandma Zhen see each other, but they didn't say anything."

"The imperial concubine is very bold. She toasts at the table. Although she is tired, she does not miss a single thing. In front of outsiders, she can't see how different she is from my cousin. My wife often says that she is simple and easy to deceive. I am afraid that even the queen mother and the emperor can't get along with her." She was also deceived by her pure appearance, and she knew it was embarrassing at a young age."

While complaining, the palace lady came to report, the imperial concubine sent someone to celebrate the concubine's birthday, Yuan Chun didn't even look at it, sitting there and didn't get up, so he had to go out to greet him, and saw that the person was Jing Lu, A few young eunuchs followed behind, holding food boxes in their hands.

Baoqin and Jinglu said hello to each other, Jinglu greeted Yuanchun again and explained the purpose of coming, the little eunuch opened the food box, Baoqin looked, it was a bowl of longevity noodles, a plate of steamed birthday peaches, and a table of noodles, And a jug of wine.

Yuan Chun said sourly: "It's hard for you imperial concubine to think about it. In previous years, the queen mother blessed me. This year I will thank the imperial concubine. At this moment, everyone in Fengzao Palace has already eaten."

Jing Lu heard Yuan Chun's dissatisfaction, and personally brought the birthday noodles to Yuan Chun, and said: "I don't know that Fengzao Palace eats so early, and the imperial concubine is useless at the moment, and now the imperial concubine is in charge of palace affairs , Naturally, the Empress Dowager does not need to worry about such a trivial matter, and the virtuous concubine does not stand up to greet her, nor does she thank her, whether it is because she doesn't value these things, or because she doesn't appreciate the reward from the imperial concubine."

These words are a bit heavy, Yuan Chun felt uneasy, he was already living in trembling, if Jing Lu went back and added fuel and vinegar to say something, if the emperor found out, he would be furious, holding the qin and stretching out his hand to help, Yuan Chun took advantage of the situation Got up, thanked the imperial concubine for the reward, and asked Jinglu to go back to thank her, Baoqin quickly took out two ingots of silver, and stuffed them in Jinglu's hands, Jinglu squatted down to be blessed, and said with a smile: "My servant thanked the virtuous concubine reward."

Holding the silver ingot in her hand, Jing Lu returned to Guanju Palace humming a ditty. Seeing that Yinhuan was checking the current bills in the Nuan Pavilion, she sat aside and said, "Which family are you meeting with now? Your Majesty hasn't stopped yet." A break?"

"The family members of the bachelor's family have just left, and the people from the Jia family are here. Go over and help, don't just take a break here and play haha. Although the empress hates the people of the Jia family, she can't be cruel to treat them. One of them didn’t pay attention, and let them take advantage of it again, by the way, did the Longevity Noodles go to Fengzao Palace?”

"Send it." Jing Lu said angrily, "Our mother is so busy that she can't even sleep well. She just woke up and hasn't eaten yet. First, she sent someone to prepare a table of noodles for Fengzao Palace. , Who would have expected that people would not appreciate it."

Yinhuan smiled and said: "I think it's too late. In the past, Manager Li reminded me of such things. This year, the eyes of these slaves are all bright. They know that the relationship between the empress and the virtuous concubine is ordinary, so I deliberately don't say it. Anyway, the empress has a lot of things to do." It’s not necessarily a theory. The empress just ordered that Director Li’s salary be deducted for one month. Alas, the tree fell and everyone pushed it away. I’ve been in the palace all these years. I haven’t seen anything. The concubine is not proud now, even the slave Follow along."

"It doesn't matter if he steps on it, don't bring your empress' reputation." Jinglu stuck out her tongue, got up and ran to the main hall, looking out through the curtain, Binghu and Xueyan were standing beside the empress.Xueyan was looking at the people in Jia's mansion triumphantly, this visit was quite different from the past, it was a grand ceremony, the empress had such a good personality, just watched them bow and then died.

Although Jia's mother has too much dissatisfaction, and her status is different, she can't help it. Every year at the palace banquet, Jia's mother is always a guest, and the seat is in the front, next to the female relatives of the palaces. This year, she is not invited. In Yu'er's eyes, she was not as respectable as the eldest wife and Zhen's daughter-in-law. Fortunately, after the two returned home, they knew how to be restrained and did not excitedly talk about the banquet in the palace. Even so, Jia Mu still understood from them. There was a trace of ridicule in his eyes.

Yu'er is really ruthless, now she only has her family property and dowry in her eyes, if they don't return these to her, it seems that she will not give up easily, but now the Jia family's wealth, even if it goes bankrupt, may not be able to.Although she was dissatisfied a lot, Mother Jia still greeted people with a smile on her face, she spoke words of concern one after another, and praised Xueyan a lot.

Daiyu thanked the old lady for her concern, and asked how everyone in the house was doing. Jia's mother said: "Thanks to the imperial concubine, our house can really be called relatives of the emperor now. Please have a New Year's wine." After the fifteenth day, all the palaces in the capital sent people to post invitations. Grandma and your aunts are still discussing how to divide them so as not to offend others. If you don't go, not only will our family lack etiquette, but it will also be mistaken for looking down on them, and if there is a royal concubine in the family, it will become like this."

The second Mrs. Xing Wang laughed dryly, Mrs. Wang increased her admiration for Jia's mother's ability, and only the old lady could describe it as a bustling crowd. Naturally, there was a New Year's wine, but it was not so busy.

Ever since Tanchun entered the main hall, he has never dared to look around. Seeing the lively talk of the old lady, he raised his head to look at the decorations in the palace. He had heard Sister Bao describe the specialness of Guanju Palace, and seeing it today was indeed extraordinary. It looks majestic on the outside, gorgeous but not blunt. It is indeed Sister Lin's style. Looking at Sister Lin's dress today, it is a bright yellow palace gown, the collar, cuffs and skirt are decorated with fine mink fur. Although the jewelry is I only wear a few pieces, but each piece is exquisite, showing my status and dignity.

Even Xueyan's dress is different from when she was in Jia's house. The material of the clothes is not much different from what Sister Feng wears every day, and she is much more generous. Look at her and think about Zijuan, who also serves Sister Lin Beside him, one can take advantage of the power of the master to raise his head and not pay attention to the people under his rank, but the other will always keep his head down, receiving all the blank stares and cold reception.

After hearing this, Daiyu felt very uncomfortable, she just didn't want to have anything to do with Jia's family, so she refused to meet her, but she didn't expect that the status of imperial concubine would allow them to act as a shield.Daiyu took a sip of tea, calmed down, and said: "Yesterday, the Empress Dowager gave a banquet in the palace, the old lady and the second wife didn't come, and the Empress Dowager also feels regretful, is it because she is not good?"

Mother Jia was taken aback, because she had no way to question her because of her status, she never thought that Daiyu would bring it up first, obviously she was the one who removed the names of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law from the list, why now she pretended not to know.

"Grandmother is not blessed, she didn't receive an invitation, alas, it's fine, I can spend a new year with my family, fortunately, my children and grandchildren are filial, and my grandmother is not lonely."

Daiyu was very surprised by what Jia Mu said, and turned her eyes to Binghu. Binghu gently shook her head and said she didn't know. Daiyu knew that there must be a reason. The list of banquets was copied from the old year. The concubine came to pay her respects and said that she wanted to share some of the burden for the imperial concubine, but Daiyu didn't care, so she handed over the matter to her. Could it be that she did something wrong?

Mother Jia can't understand Daiyu more and more now, isn't it her idea? Why is she showing an innocent look now? Mother Jia is looking around at the palace decorations, when suddenly an object comes into her eyes , isn't that a three-star ornament made of huanghuali wood?Seeing that she liked it that day, she took it from Daiyu's hand and kept it in the bedroom. Since Daiyu entered the palace, she always felt uneasy when looking at this ornament, so she locked it in the storeroom. Why did it appear here?

Daiyu follows Jia
