Daisy in the Red Chamber

Chapter 41 Palace Banquet

Daiyu felt dazed for a moment, she thought she would not respond to such words, but there was a trace of sweetness in her heart and more anger, yes, Fujin, concubine.Thinking of this, he didn't look back, just stepped on Yinzhen's foot hard, and went straight out of the room.

Yinzhen looked at Daiyu's back and could only smile wryly. Fortunately, he didn't have any direct children, neither son nor daughter were born to Fujin, but were just products to deal with Huang Ama.Yinzhen shook his head, almost forgetting the business of coming today.He took out the invitation card from his sleeve and put it on the table. He took out the handkerchief that had been treasured for a long time and wiped the tea on his clothes.

When Yinzhen left the Lin Mansion that day, the burns on his hands were no longer a problem, and he couldn't help feeling that the ointment in the Lin Mansion was also good. When Daiyu heard about it, she threw the box for him to wipe it, but ignored him , let him go by himself.

"Leaving at last." Lin Daiping broke down in the direction Yinzhen left, and dared to kidnap and sell his own sister, he must not make it easier for him, a stallion with three wives and four concubines.

Looking at his childish side, Daiyu could only shake her head, and went to the study to discuss the invitation with Lin Hai.

"Ama, this is a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. Logically speaking, daughters are not eligible to enter the palace." Mid-Autumn Festival banquets are normal for officials, but the Lin family has no mistress, and Daiyu has always been weak. Such a gathering does not need to be present. right.

Lin Hai looked at the post and sighed, "It's a woman's handwriting."

"So someone wants to..." Daiyu didn't continue, "Sifu Jin? Concubine De?"

"Not necessarily, it might be the concubine's favor." Lin Hai tapped his fingers on the table, showing his uneasiness, "Yu'er, why don't you ask Mu Xin to come..."

Are you pretending to be sick?Daiyu hesitated for a moment, "Ama, I always have to face it. Now that Ama is the crown prince and tutor, and she is also inlaid with a yellow flag, there are many things that cannot be solved by escaping."

Lin Hai didn't speak for a long time, and sighed, "I asked someone to investigate, it's always better to know who it is so we can prepare better."

"There are only a few people left, Yu'er will be careful, and at least Xinyuan will protect me."

"Speaking of Guoluo Luogege, Yu'er should be careful, after all, she is the niece of Concubine Yi, and is recognized as the future Eight Fortunes. And you have a good relationship with King Yongjun, after that..."

"What did Ama say?" Daiyu was a little embarrassed. Being friends with Yinzhen means that she must marry him?I am still considering whether to let Lin Daiyu disappear.

Lin Hai looked at Daiyu's blushing little face, and sighed. Kangxi finally plotted against her, and Yu'er was tempted. "Anyway, pay attention to yourself, Xia Lan and the others are all martial arts, so bring two of them by your side and make sure they stay close at every step."

"Yes, don't worry, Ama." Daiyu nodded, went out of Lin Hai's study, found Lin Daiping outside, and said hello, but found that her brother's expression was a bit hideous. "Yu'er, stay away from the king of Yongjun." The voice was a bit vicious.

Daiyu had no choice but to bypass him and go back to her room.It is said that Lin Hai taught Lin Daiping a lesson that day, telling him to be more careful and not lose his sense of proportion. That is the King of Yongjun, a relative of the emperor.Lin Daiping agreed, but she still made trouble for Yinzhen behind her back. Yinzhen still has a long way to go to please this brother-in-law. Of course, this is a story for later.

The moon is sixteen round on the fifteenth day, and the palace banquet is a gift from the emperor to the officials, but it is torture. The Mid-Autumn Festival night in the capital is already very cold, and it is really torture to accompany the emperor to enjoy the moon and eat in the garden.

Daiyu's side is better, the Empress Dowager took pity on the female relatives, so she placed them in the Palace of Compassion and Ning.After several greetings, Daiyu was dragged by Xinyuan to sit beside her. She could feel the venomous gaze from the moment she sat down, and looked over, "That's Sifujin and the others." Xinyuan noticed Daiyu's dissatisfaction. Comfortable, said the introduction.

"Lin Gege, I'm Wanyan Xuezhu." A generous Gege thought about Daiyu and extended a hand of friendship, Wanyan's?This is the future [-]th Fujin, Daiyu smiled and held her hand, "Xuezhugegege is good."

"My little sister doesn't know, but Xuezhu has a fierce fight with Elder Fourteen. When they meet, they will definitely quarrel, and in the end they will be pulled away with a blushing face." Xinyuan joked that she and Xuezhu had a personal relationship. Very good.

"Xinyuan, you!" Xuezhu's face was flushed, she seemed to have been poked into something in her heart, and wanted to beat Xinyuan, but was stopped by Gegra beside her.

"Xuezhu, the queen mother is watching. Lingege, I am Zhaojia's Yongning. This is Dong E's Wanning, and that is..."

"Namu Bell."

Hearing the names of these people, Daiyu felt dizzy for a while, feeling that this is the future Fujin table, and it is the table of Di Fujin. , sooner or later you will go to a stranger.Daiyu couldn't help feeling a little sorry.

"Look at you, you are delicate and weak. I heard that you were almost injured while riding a horse last time. This is not acceptable." Na Muzhong poured a glass of wine for Daiyu, "Come and drink, I will recognize you."

Daiyu was a little embarrassed, it wouldn't be good if she didn't take the wine, but she really didn't make any trouble after drinking it.

Xin Yuan took it, "Na Muzhong, please don't make trouble, Yu'er is weak, how can you drink such strong wine. It was Yu'er's first time riding a horse, did you not have any accidents when you first rode a horse?" ?" Xinyuan defended Daiyu, and Namuzhong was a little displeased.

"What's the matter?" The queen mother saw that there seemed to be a small conflict here, and asked, "Why is Na Muzhong standing?"

"Going back to the Queen Mother, she wanted to toast Ling Gege, but she refused. Xinyuan Gege stopped me."

"Oh?" Na Muzhong is considered to be the empress dowager's niece, and she has a temperament that the empress dowager likes. The empress dowager naturally defends it, squinting at the weak Daiyu, thinking of the things Si Fujin secretly mentioned to herself, a little uncomfortable happiness.There are beauties in the south of the Yangtze River, the first emperor likes them, the emperor also likes them, even his own grandson?

Thinking about it, Daiyu was wronged, and the queen mother became angry, thinking that she was somewhat similar to Dong E's.

"Girl Lin, come here and let Ai's family take a look." The Queen Mother spoke, and the lively banquet quietened down. Xin Yuan pulled Dai Yu's hand worriedly, and looked at Na Mu Zhong with anger in her eyes.Na Muzhong gave Xin Yuan a provocative white look.

At this time, Daiyu realized that she was the fish in the pond who was affected by the disaster. Xinyuan's mother-in-law was the queen mother's adopted daughter, so the queen mother always loved her very much. After Na Muzhong came, this love was naturally divided.And Na Muzhong felt that he was of the same clan as the queen mother, so the queen mother should help him more, the two fought secretly, and it was obvious that this happened ten times, but this time Daiyu was unlucky.

"Greetings to the Empress Dowager." Daiyu saluted respectfully.

"Get up." Even though Daiyu was not pleasing to the eye, considering that Lin Hai was an important minister of Kangxi, the Queen Mother would not make things difficult for Daiyu. "Come here and let Ai's family take a closer look." The queen mother waved at Daiyu.

Daiyu obediently walked up to the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager took Daiyu's hand and asked Daiyu to look at her.Daiyu felt the chill, and then there was coldness in her eyes, and she met the Empress Dowager's eyes, but found that there was so much helplessness in the Empress Dowager's eyes, did she look at others through herself?

"You look good." After a long time, the Queen Mother finally said a word, pulled out her golden hairpin and put it on Daiyu's head.This is a generous gift, Daiyu quickly knelt down, "The Queen Mother..."

"Aijia likes you." These words reassured Xin Yuan and made Na Muzhong a little annoyed.

"Thank you Queen Mother for the reward." Daiyu could only accept the reward.

The Empress Dowager waved her hand and let Daiyu return to her seat, but with the Empress Dowager in front, all the prominent and respectable concubines in the harem naturally took action, and asked people to send some things to Daiyu who entered the palace for the first time. thanks.

After a while, the queen mother was also tired, so she asked the fourth concubine to preside over it, and went back to rest by herself.Without the empress dowager's suppression, the atmosphere in the room became more lively, and the acquainted Fujin was joking with each other.

Na Muzhong's face has been sullen since just now, and he stopped talking, as if he was being humiliated, "Sister Na Muzhong drinks tea. Daiyu is not good at drinking, so I will offer you a glass of tea instead of wine. My sister is a cheerful person at first glance. If you were angry because of Daiyu, it's not Daiyu's fault."

Na Muzhong looked at Daiyu, "All of you will say meandering things, but since the queen mother said that she likes you, I don't hate you anymore."

Daiyu was taken aback by these words, this Na Muzhong was really straight-hearted, he spoke directly enough. "Then invite my sister to drink tea."

Na Muzhong directly drank the wine in the glass, "Just drink tea." Daiyu smiled and drank it down, which made the two of them feel uneasy just now.

"Gege Ling is very powerful." The somewhat piercing voice was that of Jiufujin Dong E's, "Gege, Namu Zhong, who conquered us so quickly."

Xin Yuan looked at Wan Ning with some displeasure. She didn't like the Fujin that her aunt had chosen for her cousin. What looked bright was a flower, but behind it was the rotten grass that couldn't be seen.

Daiyu ignored her, she was more concerned about when Sifu Jin would make a move, after all she had filed a complaint, and together with Concubine De let herself into the palace.However, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have different calculations, Concubine De hopes to marry Xiao Shisi herself, and Daiyu has never met him, only knows that his eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to Yinzhen.

"The night view in this garden is nice, why don't we take a walk together." The bright and beautiful Concubine Yi suggested.

Concubine De nodded and agreed, Concubine Hui had no objection, Concubine Rong went back to the palace first because she was in poor health, this was a trivial matter, but it made Daiyu alert, feeling the attack for no reason.

The fourth concubine had no objection, and the accompanying Fujin Gege naturally didn't say anything, they all put on their cloaks and went out of the Palace of Compassion and Ning together, and went to the Imperial Garden.But after a while, they all dispersed, some went to sit in this palace, and some went over there to have a look.On the contrary, Daiyu, who was being pulled by Xinyuan, stayed with the third concubine, "Ling Gege looks like an old friend." Concubine Hui spoke first.

"Your Majesty is talking about your first mother?" Daiyu smiled slightly, "Many people say that, but it's just that my mother's life is hard and she can't stay with Ama for the rest of her life."

"On a happy day, don't mention these things. Xinyuan calls me aunt, you are her younger sister, call me aunt and let me hear." Concubine Yi's words were to draw Daiyu under her command.

"Your Majesty loves her so much, Daiyu dare not be her." Daiyu took a step back and landed behind Xinyuan.

"This child is neat, I don't know who will have the luck to be your mother-in-law at that time." Concubine De also spoke, Daiyu lowered her head, not wanting to answer.

"Sister's words are so right that the little girl is embarrassed. But Si Fujin is filial and never leaves her sister." Concubine Yi turned to Nala, who used to be with Xinyuan. The friendship is good, but Xinyuan is very displeased with her behavior after marriage, and the two have broken off their friendship long ago.

"Your Majesty's praise. I'm just doing my filial piety for the fourth master."

"That's right, it's just that my poor sister doesn't have this blessing." A woman in a plain cheongsam walked up not far away, and seeing her three concubines' expressions changed slightly, Daiyu just vaguely felt that she looked familiar.

"Concubine Tong. What are you talking about?" Concubine De looked at her displeased. Concubine Tong was only a sister of Empress Xiao Yiren's clan, but she used her status to share their love and her favor has never faded. , until Michan injured her body and withdrew from everyone's sight.

It was only then that Daiyu realized who this person was, it seemed that Tong Wanrong had mentioned to herself, Tong Wanning. "Greetings to Concubine Tong." Knowing the identity of the visitor, Daiyu quickly saluted.

"Get up, cough cough." Tong Wanning coughed, feeling a little weak.She was coming from behind Daiyu, but Daiyu couldn't see her, so she went up to help her.

"Since Concubine Tong is not feeling well, it's better to go back and rest." Concubine De spoke again, seeing her expression of jealousy and dislike for Concubine Tong, she wished she would die.

"It's true, even if you want to die, you can't die on this happy day, or you won't be a ghost that seduces people's souls." Tong Bi's words were terrifying, and even the temperature in the imperial garden dropped a little. "Ling Gege, please accompany me back."

"Okay. Daiyu will leave." Daiyu bowed to the third concubine. She probably knew what Concubine Tong meant by coming to help her.

Daiyu and Concubine Tong left together, and the three concubines also left separately. Xinyuan followed Concubine Yi back to Yanxi Palace, "Auntie, is it..." Xinyuan hesitated to speak.

"Since Concubine Tong is here, Ling Gege will be fine, but if she really makes friends with Prince Yong, then after you..." Concubine Yi was a little worried.

"Auntie, that's not our business." Xin Yuan shook her head, her bond with Dai Yu would never be broken.Concubine Yi knew her niece's character, so she didn't persuade her about her identity.

On the other side, Dai Yu followed Tong Bin and Tong Bin returned to Yongshou Palace and lay on the bed and couldn't get up.Just now Daiyu supported her and felt her pulse, so she knew that she had been poisoned and was getting weaker and weaker day by day. "Finally lived up to the entrustment." Tong Bin's face was as pale as snow, and her maid had already gone to the imperial physician, "cough cough."

"Thank you, ma'am, for saving me." Daiyu hurriedly poured a glass of water for Concubine Tong, and secretly put a medicine in it. No matter what kind of poison it was, even if it couldn't be taken, the Snow Lotus Pill could restrain it.All in all, the people of the Tong family are really kind to themselves.

Concubine Tong took two sips of water before she recovered, "Wait a while, the time is almost up, I'll let someone take you out of the palace directly. This is always safe."

Daiyu nodded and helped Concubine Tong to lie down. Although she was very curious about the grievances between Concubine Tong and Concubine De, it was really inappropriate to ask at this time.

After a while, the imperial physician came and prescribed medicine for Concubine Tong, and the Yongshou Palace soon filled with the bitter smell of medicine.

With the servant girl waiting, Daiyu also went to the side hall to rest. The whole Yongshou Palace was magnificently decorated, and it was only for Tong Concubine to live in. Does Kangxi love Tong Concubine very much, or is it just for the sake of the entire Tong Jia clan? A gesture of not making?Without others, Daiyu can naturally think about what happened just now.

Presumably it was Sifujin, concubine De and the queen mother who wanted to do something to him, but seeing that the queen mother had changed his mind, Sifujin refused to stop. In the Royal Garden, the two of them wanted to do something, it must be foolproof.Sudden dizziness swept over Daiyu, why?Daiyu quickly used her internal energy to check her body, when did she get poisoned?
