The Dream of the Red Chamber of Huanzhu is not a dream

Lin Hai is not stupid, he is even an extremely shrewd person. Xia Qinglian has been vaguely aware of Xia Qinglian's estrangement from him over the past few years.Like today, the scene where Xia Qinglian took the initiative to get close to his arms, even sleeping soundly around his waist, was almost never in Lin Hai's memory.No, maybe there was, a few months after they got married, she lost the shyness of a newlywed, and slowly tried to get closer as she is now.

Her misty eyes when she first woke up, and the way she sat on a chair and nodded her head slightly when she fell asleep, clearly appeared in front of Lin Hai's eyes, which was beyond Lin Hai's imagination.

It's just since when did they get along like a layer of veil, she gradually took back her approaching steps, stood not far away and smiled dignifiedly, her confusion, fragility, and playfulness were all in his hands. disappear before my eyes.Although she still took good care of him, the family and the children, and the married life was very harmonious, Lin Hai even thought that was the distance that a normal couple should have, even compared to some relatives. Jing Rubing's husband and wife are already considered wonderful.

When did you start feeling dissatisfied?

It seemed that he accidentally saw her bewildered expression curled up on the couch alone with a book of words in a daze, which gave him a strange sense of stagnation in his heart for a moment.

He looked through the collection of words later, and the most obvious trace was Nalan Xingde's "Hua Tang Chun". The first sentence of the opening sentence, "One life, one pair", stung Lin Hai's eyes inexplicably.

Reminiscent of the determination shown by Jin Beizi when he dealt with the servant girl incident in the mansion, Lin Hai vaguely understood what Xia Qinglian wanted.

However, she never revealed her thoughts, and she even behaved very well all the time, she was very quiet at any time, neither jealous nor jealous.Even Yuting didn't show any displeasure at that time...

No, maybe not that.She didn't show that she was unhappy, but it was from that time that she refused to trust him and stopped approaching.

Lin Hai finally understood where the problem was, and was able to detect traces in Xia Qinglian's behavior more and more.Xia Qinglian is a person who is easy to satisfy and always compromises, but the people she is willing to compromise for are his children, not him.This made Lin Hai a little unwilling but helpless.

Although Lin Hai didn't think that Natongfang was unfaithful, since it made her feel uncomfortable, he didn't have to do it.

What she longed for, he couldn't give her before, and only hoped that he could make up for it in the future.

At least, she's starting to approach him again now, isn't she?Perhaps, this time, it will be more difficult to gain her trust than before, but at least there is still time.

Lin Hai slightly pulled Xia Qinglian into his arms, and fell asleep together.

Amidst Daiyu's uneasiness, the day of the draft finally came.

Coincidentally, Yingchun, Tanchun, Xichun, and Shi Xiangyun are all in this draft.

Among them, Shi Xiangyun was dismissed entirely because of his reputation brought down by Jia Baoyu.Although Shi Xiangyun's heart was on Jia Baoyu's body, it was really embarrassing to be dismissed like this, and he couldn't help crying and went back.

Both Daiyu and Sanchun successfully passed the primary election, and seeing what happened to Shi Xiangyun, they all feel sorry for each other.

Especially Daiyu, she felt more and more like she was alive after a catastrophe. If Xia Qinglian hadn't protected her tightly, maybe she would be the same as Shi Xiangyun now.Although her goal was to be sent home with a sign, Daiyu couldn't imagine how embarrassing it would be to see Shi Xiangyun's contemptuous and mocking eyes from the people around her.

Qianlong was not present at the time of the re-election, and the Empress Dowager and Empress were presiding over the election. Concubine Xian, Concubine Chun and the Fourth Concubine were also present.

Daiyu has slender bones and a natural beauty. Although she has been kept extremely healthy these years, her appearance is still delicate and tender, and she is very pitiful.

When the queen mother and concubines saw her, except for the queen and concubine Gong, everyone else couldn't help but frowned quietly. Daiyu almost immediately felt the hostility from all directions.

The Empress Dowager suffered from a serious illness. Although she has recovered, she is not as energetic as before.When people are old, they are most afraid of being sad, and it is more difficult to take care of than hurting the body.Coupled with the defense against the queen, she couldn't really feel at ease in her rest, so she looked several years older all of a sudden.

As the saying goes, there is no filial son in front of the bed for a long time. At the beginning of Qianlong, he was very caring. After a long time, he used the excuse that the government was busy, but he just said hello every day. In his opinion, since there is an empress anyway, it is the same to be filial on his behalf.

But the Empress Dowager has been operating in the harem for decades, and the news is still very well-informed, and the Empress also intends to let her know what her filial son is doing.The Empress Dowager knew that Qianlong didn't have time to visit her, but she had time to hang out with the favorite concubines in the harem, especially Concubine Ling, who always deceived Qianlong with the excuse that she was not feeling well or that her fourteenth elder brother was sick. Thinking that he was not as important as a concubine and a naughty child in Qianlong's heart, he couldn't help feeling hatred in his heart.

After recovering from the illness, the Empress Dowager became more and more displeased with Concubine Ling, but Concubine Ling was used to being superficial and low-key, so the Empress Dowager had nothing to do with her for a while, and she didn't want Qianlong to think that she would anger the Empress again For his lovely and pitiful weak concubine.

It's just that at this moment, seeing Daiyu who is more gentle and pure than Lingfei and more talented than Defei, the Empress Dowager really can't give birth to a heart of love. The time is divided up by others.

Daiyu was a little nervous, secretly recalling what her mother had said.My mother said that the queen mother likes bright and generous Manchu women, so she probably won't like her too much if she only looks at her appearance, and the concubines in the harem will not have a good impression of the new draft girl.She doesn't need to be afraid of being unlikable, the empress dowager is disliked, and the concubine is jealous, so she can use their power to avoid face-to-face with the emperor, and only then can she escape from the palace safely.

Although everyone from the queen mother to the concubine hoped that Daiyu would disappear from the harem as soon as the brand was dropped, but after all, Daiyu was the daughter of the servant of the official department, and if she dropped her brand without giving a reason, she would talk more.

Therefore, Daiyu was still kept, and Sanchun was not put down.

Then, they lived in Zhongcui Palace.Daiyu was assigned to live with Taiji's daughter Huo Shuote. During the period, Tanchun came to propose a change, to live in a room with Daiyu, and Xichun and Yingchun lived together. Tanchun wanted to be with Daiyu who was familiar It's not surprising to live.

But Daiyu kept in mind what her mother said, just obey the arrangements in the palace, and don't do too much, and she was deeply afraid that Tanchun would find out about the arrangement of Concubine Gong that her mother said she planned, so she didn't want to be with Tanchun. So he declined Tanchun's proposal on the grounds that he didn't want to cause more trouble.

Tanchun had no choice but to leave with a smile.

Tanchun would make such a proposal, not because he simply wanted to live with someone he knew.The Jia family's reputation is not good, although the three of them were left with a badge, it is probably just because of the honor of Depin and Jia's mother's first-rank fate, and it may be difficult to have a good future.The beautiful girl who lived with Tanchun spoke a little bitterly, and she specifically pointed out Tanchun's sore spots.

Tan Chunyuan thought that if he could live in a room with Daiyu, firstly he could avoid the ridicule of his co-residents, and secondly, he could use Daiyu's innocent reputation to lift himself up.Daiyu is so outstanding, there must be many people paying attention, but she is too outstanding, it is inevitable that she will be jealous, and it will not go well.Then, standing beside Daiyu, I can get more attention through her, but I won't be too taboo.

But Daiyu refused, and Tanchun had no choice.

Each room of the show girls has a little maid who waits on them. The little maid in Daiyu's room gave her a secret code on the first day. She is Concubine Gong. Change houses in spring.Because the Huo Shuote family who lived with Daiyu was a Mongolian, although he could speak Chinese, he was not proficient in it. It was much easier to hide it from her eyes and ears than the shrewd Tanchun.

The purpose of the show girls staying in the palace is to learn court etiquette, and it is also for the nobles in the palace to inspect the show girls' character and talent. With so many eyes staring at them, if it is not for the extremely hard-working people in the background, they will not dare to mess around .

The show girls in this period did not have exceptionally prominent family backgrounds or ambitious people, so no one dared to act boldly.Although Daiyu suffered some minor difficulties, it was harmless.

As for court etiquette, Daiyu was personally taught by the nuns who went out of the palace outside the palace, so she could easily do it right.However, Sanchun hurriedly found a nunnery to teach them only last year. Fortunately, the three of them are also smart, although they are not as skilled as Daiyu, they can't make mistakes.

Before Daiyu entered the palace, Xia Ningjue rushed back from Tianjin once, and told her about the rules of the draft.However, Xia Ningjue followed the procedure completely, which is different from Daiyu, but the experience of being calculated by others can be talked to Daiyu.

Therefore, Daiyu was very careful in the palace and did not leave the room easily.

Daiyu's appearance is the most outstanding, and her family background is not bad, so it is inevitable that she will attract a lot of hostility.However, Daiyu thought, but it would be best if she could get out of the palace and marry herself.Daiyu doesn't want to cause trouble, and avoids the edge everywhere.

The concubines in the harem are also extremely jealous of Daiyu. Lin Daiyu has been marginalized by them intentionally or unintentionally during several times of viewing flowers and listening to operas.Lin Daiyu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn't dare to be careless, for fear that if she made a wrong step, all previous efforts would be wasted.

Her roommate Huo Shuote is a member of special status because she was born in the Eight Banners of Mongolia. In order to show the goodwill between Manchu and Mongolia, every time the Eight Banners of Mongolia will have beautiful girls flooding the harem. Very happy with her.

Daiyu has a weird feeling about Huoshuot.She didn't feel any hostility from Huo Shuote, but Huo Shuo Te's behavior was that he wanted to overwhelm her in every way, taking away a lot of Daiyu's limelight in a very high-profile way.But the Mongolians are more forthright by nature, and no one thinks there is a problem with her high-profile actions.

Because of Huo Shuote's high-profile style, it relieved a lot of hostility from Xiu Nu, which greatly relieved Daiyu.

Soon, it will be the day when the emperor reads it in person.Prior to this, the empress personally held a flower viewing banquet. A large number of concubines, nobles, Chang Zai, and promises from various palaces in the harem attended, and the beautiful ladies were also honored.

In March and April, the spring flowers are all blooming, and the peach blossoms are becoming more and more brilliant.

In the harem, everyone is a master of acting, what is going on in their hearts, they can never be seen on the surface, at least on the surface, they are very pleasant to the beautiful women.

Daiyu's palms were slightly sweaty, the main plans will be carried out today.The road paved by her mother must not be destroyed because of her timidity and carelessness.Playing tricks in the palace and scheming against the emperor's heart, the risk is not insignificant, how can you be as light as your mother said?In the final analysis, this can be regarded as the crime of deceiving the emperor.

Daiyu was a little nervous, but the beautiful girls around her were rarely calm, so her behavior seemed much more normal.

Concubine Gong's eyes glanced at all the beautiful girls, and she glanced at Daiyu without any trace, seeing that her performance was quite calm, and she felt a little relieved in her heart.His eyes swept over Xue Baochai who was following behind Jin Suo, who was asking about his care and warmth, and a sarcastic smile could not help but appear in his heart.I don't know what kind of feeling is in Sister Bao's heart now?

How does Xue Baochai feel?The dignified and magnanimous smile she always wore on her face was almost unstoppable, and the corners of her mouth seemed to have a heavy weight.

When she was in Jia's mansion back then, she was more powerful than Sanchun, and she was no less than Lin Daiyu. When it comes to De concubine, she can also be called a big sister.But such a day, thinking about it now, seems like a dream.

Depin is Jinsuo's master, but Xue Baochai is just Jinsuo's slave.Xue Baochai now follows Jinsuo to pay respects to Concubine De, and claims to be a "servant". Every time the proud Xue Baochai sees the corners of Concubine De's mouth raised, she is so jealous that she is about to go crazy.

As for today's flower viewing feast, Xue Baochai had already persuaded Jin Suo not to attend on the pretext that the fetus was the most important thing, but De Concubine ruined the plan, and De Concubine called Jin Suo to bring her together, saying that she could also see her again Meet the sisters of yesteryear.

Xue Baochai knew that this was Debi wanting to humiliate her.

But now that she has a low status, she doesn't even have the right to refuse.

Concubine Dang laughed abruptly and said: "Speaking of which, the court lady Baochai next to Mrs. Jin is also an old acquaintance with Miss Lin. It's rare to see her in the palace. Why don't you go and see her soon?"

Baochai's nails dug into the palm of her hand, but in front of the crowd, she had no choice but to come to Daiyu with a smile on her face, and bowed: "My servant, Baochai, has seen Lin Xiaozhu."

Daiyu and Baochai had only met each other a few times, so she had no feelings for her, but when she thought of a good girl's family, now her family was ruined and she was struggling to survive in the palace, she felt a little compassion and didn't want to embarrass her. He didn't want to attract attention because of this, so he responded lightly and stopped talking.

Baochai met Sanchun again, and Yingchun almost blurted out "Sister Bao" was pulled by Tanchun, and she smiled awkwardly, but found that she didn't know what to call Xue Baochai, so she had to answer vaguely and avoid embarrassingly. Open your eyes.

The surrounding concubines and beautiful women saw the movement here, some didn't care much, and some whispered.

Under the eyes of many guesses, Baochai could hardly hold back the smile on her face. When she was leaving, her movements were a little hasty, but she collided with the maid who came forward to pour wine for Daiyu and the others.

Baochai is in a hurry, she is not on a firm footing now, if she makes such a big mistake in public, with Jinsuo's current energy, she will not be able to keep her - the concubine De wants to get rid of her as soon as possible.

Baochai's reaction could not be described as unpleasant, she helped the court lady to stabilize the wine jug on the tray, but she spilled a few drops, at that time, her vest was already soaked in cold sweat.

The queen was talking to Concubine Chun, but Concubine Xian saw this scene, her face darkened immediately, and she reprimanded Xue Baochai.Xue Baochai could only kneel down to plead guilty, feeling the worried eyes from Lin Daiyu and Sanchun beside him, his face felt like it was on fire, almost biting his silver teeth.Once upon a time, she could easily compare with Sanchun, but now they are sitting while she is kneeling. This kind of situation gap makes her so ashamed that she can't wait to drill a crack in the ground immediately.

Concubine Ling is used to selling well, and she has always been at odds with Concubine Xian, so she pleaded for Xue Baochai at this moment.

Concubine Xian originally planned to reprimand her, but now that Concubine Ling opened her mouth, she didn't want to let it go, and pointed the finger at Concubine De, ordering her to be severely punished.

Debi responded with trepidation, lowered her head but couldn't help curling her lips. Of course she would "severely punish", and she was very happy to "severely punish".

Concubine Ling showed a timid expression, looked helplessly and regretfully at Xue Baochai, and stopped talking.She once again successfully played the role of a kind and good person, but Concubine Xian became more and more mean and ruthless.

The queen shook her head slightly as she watched. No wonder in Concubine Xian's palace, Concubine Ling had the most nails among all the concubines in the harem. These maids and eunuchs seemed inconspicuous, but they were easy to do bad things at critical times.

However, she will not remind Concubine Xian.

Concubine Gong's eyes swept over Concubine De, Xue Baochai, and Concubine Ling, and she picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp, her lowered eyelids covered the light in her eyes, sometimes borrowing a knife does not necessarily mean killing people, but saving people is also possible.

The flower viewing feast continued, and Daiyu calmed down before calmly picking up the wine glass in front of her and drinking it slowly.

Tanchun watched her drink the wine, there was a strange light in his eyes.
