There is a big problem with my harem [Qing Chuan]

The atmosphere in the hall froze.

Cheng Hu still smiled innocently—but Kangxi stared at Baocheng and Baoqing, and couldn't help frowning.

Baocheng can be said to be a subconscious reaction with memory, but what about Baoqing?

Baoqing seemed to have noticed Kangxi's gaze, and his body shrank a little. He turned his head and glanced at Baocheng, gritted his teeth and straightened his back. Trust!"

Baocheng's eyes were about to burst into flames—what a boss, Kuigu thought that you had such thoughts after being instigated by Mingzhu, it turns out, it turns out!

He turned his head to look at Kangxi, waiting for Kangxi's furious reaction—how did he know that Kangxi raised Baoqing's hands cheerfully like a foolish father: "Good ambition!"

Baocheng: ...

Today's prince is still angry like a puffer fish!

***

Two more days passed.

Concubine Zhao ordered all the third-rank and above wives in the capital who had daughters over five years old and under ten years old to order their wives to bring their daughters into the palace to enjoy the autumn.

However, all Yi decrees can only be used by the empress dowager and the empress dowager, but the noble concubine actually issued an order alone to ask for an autumn feast... This matter can cause a lot of trouble in the harem, and some concubines also went to the two empress dowagers to test it out But he was pushed back in despair.

In the previous court, many ministers doubted whether the emperor had any plans to establish a queen!But after several attempts, the emperor didn't intend to pay any attention to it at all, and some people tried to get some information from Hesheli's house, but they were almost caught.The "careful people" who have come down to the capital several times can only bury this thought in their hearts.

In Lin's residence, Jia Min and Lin Daiyu were naturally among those invited to the palace.On the day they entered the palace, they first went to Jingren Palace to meet with Concubine Zhao, and after only talking for a few words, they withdrew.Then they got into the sedan chair under the leadership of the palace people, and were sent one by one to the Xianfu Palace where the concubines were.

Jingren Palace is in the East Sixth Palace, which is close to Qianqing Palace, while Xianfu Palace is in the corner of the West Sixth Palace, so the time on the road can be imagined.From time to time, there were guards and eunuchs chatting outside, walking and stopping, the windows of the two small sedan chairs were completely covered, and I don't know how long it took for the little eunuch's shouts to come from outside the sedan chair.

"Get off the sedan chair!"

When the sedan chair landed, the two young maids raised the curtain to invite Jia Min and Lin Daiyu out of the sedan chair.

An aunt in charge who was waiting at the side quickly looked at Lin Daiyu, and then walked forward with a smile on her face: "Mrs. Lin, Miss Lin, please come with your slaves. The virtuous master is waiting for you in the main hall!"

"Thank you, auntie." Jia Min smiled slightly, and put a purse in his sleeve into the other party's hand.

"It's so embarrassing, Mrs. Lin is being polite." The aunt in charge smiled even wider, gave a slight blessing, and led the two into the Xianfu Palace.

Lin Daiyu was a little curious, and secretly raised her eyes to look inside.

Compared with Jingren Palace, where the most popular Concubine Zhao lived in the palace, the Xianfu Palace located in the corner of the palace garden is obviously much older.Fortunately, Concubine Xian and Concubine Qi both love to play with flowers and plants. Compared with the magnificence of Jingren Palace, Xianfu Palace has a different style.

It's just that compared to Daiyu's curiosity, Jia Min's heart is heavy.She pursed her lips and led Daiyu inside, feeling uneasy about giving peace to her unfamiliar niece.

You must know that the virtuous concubine is not only her niece, but also the eldest daughter of the second sister-in-law, Baoyu's elder sister!

There is a virtuous concubine in the palace who says that Jia Min has no intention of marrying Rongguo Mansion at all, it must not be true, but the matter of Baoyu being born with jade has never been mentioned in the court, and the Rongguo Mansion has suppressed it, but there was a lot of trouble back then. How powerful is it?If the back is pulled out...

But Daiyu was born with fetal poison, and her body is still a little weaker than ordinary girls. If she married into someone else's family, how could she rest assured?

If you get married with your natal family, at least you won't be wronged if you have Mother Jia to take care of you!But now my mother is devoted to the second wife... If she married Baoyu, wouldn't the second sister-in-law become Daiyu's future mother-in-law?One must know that Mrs. Wang invited Daiyu to the Rongguo Mansion for tea and an opera, and then invited a girl from the Xue family of Jinling to the mansion to tell the story!

After being stabbed by the elder brother's sister-in-law, Jia Min was disgusted!

She has seen the girl from Xue's family before, she is outstanding in appearance, and she is incomparable with Daiyu... Jia Min's heart is heavy--I am afraid that the second sister-in-law will marry Daiyu as the main wife here, and turn around and take the Xue family away. The idea of ​​hiring a girl to be a concubine!It is not a word from Mrs. Wang who owns the backyard after giving birth to a child!

The more she thought about it, the more preoccupied she became, until the aunt in charge stopped.Jia Min held her breath and looked up at the gate of the main hall - I just hope that this niece is easy to dismiss!

The virtuous concubine of the palace sits in the middle.She combed her hair in a complicated bun, and wore a pair of gold hairpins with parallel stalks. Her round oval face was covered with thick makeup powder, and her brows were frowning with a little melancholy.

A few days ago, the words of Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang were still circling in her mind, making her restless, and she couldn't sleep well for several days.

"Master, Mrs. Lin brought Miss to pay her respects." The little maid entered the palace to report.

"Xuan come in." She sighed, pulled herself together, and looked out of the hall gently with a smile on her face.

"Court wife/Court daughter, pay homage to the virtuous concubine, the virtuous concubine, Jin An!"

"Excuse me, give me a seat."

"Miss Xie Xianpin."

Jia Min and Lin Daiyu sat down one after the other, and the concubine's eyes fell on Lin Daiyu involuntarily.

The words from her mother's mouth popped out in her mind again.Concubine Xian frowned, not daring to sort out her chaotic thoughts, preferring to have a mess in her mind.She said to Jia Min with a smile on her face: "My niece hasn't seen my aunt for many years, how has my aunt been doing all these years?"

Seeing that Concubine Xian didn't mention the matter of Daiyu and Baoyu, Jia Min was slightly relieved and replied with a smile: "Return to Concubine Xian's words, the minister's wife has returned to the capital, this person is familiar, and it is more comfortable than living outside with the master in previous years too much."

"How is Uncle?" Concubine Xian had vaguely heard about Uncle Lin's poisoning, but at that time she was just a concubine, and Ding You had a funeral at home, so she didn't know what would happen next.

"Thank you for your concern, master, he is in good health now." Jia Min replied respectfully.

"This is my aunt's daughter, this palace's cousin? What's her name? How old is this year?" The concubine laughed lightly, and the topic fell on the rather boring Daiyu.

"The maid's name is Daiyu, and she is ten years old this year." Daiyu stood up and replied gracefully.

The concubine quickly took a closer look: Although Lin Daiyu was indeed what her mother said she was, she had a rather sickly appearance.But it can't help that she is graceful, graceful, and shows no timidity, which is far from the timidity of her mother's mouth.

The virtuous concubine secretly shook her head at her mother's words, while praising: "Cousin is really beautiful."

"Your Majesty is absurd. The subject is only the appearance of a willow, how can it be compared with the appearance of the Empress." Jia Min shook his head repeatedly.

"Auntie is too modest!"

After all, Jia Min and the concubine Xian only met a few times when they were young, and after a few dry words, the atmosphere in the whole hall froze.

Concubine Xian sighed, the sigh was very clear in the silent main hall.Jia Min took a deep breath and her hands tightened unavoidably, just as she was about to speak, unexpectedly Concubine Xian spoke first.

"Auntie, you don't mind if my niece speaks from her heart."

"My lady, please tell me." Hearing what the concubine said, Jia Min immediately got up in fear, bent slightly and listened cautiously.

"Aunt, don't be nervous." Xianbi smiled wryly, "I just apologize to you for my mother."

"...How dare you say that!" Jia Min's expression changed.

"I've already reprimanded my mother and grandmother about my younger sister. They are too complacent. My younger sister has to go through an audition to get married—aunt?"

Concubine Xian looked at Jia Min in surprise and looked up at her in shock, the corners of her mouth twitched: "My younger sister is the daughter of a third-rank official, and you have to go through a draft to get married. Could it be that my aunt has forgotten?"

"My wife, my wife really forgot everything." Jia Min paused with embarrassment on his face, and said with a wry smile, "My wife was drafted by my late father to ask the late emperor not to enter the harem in the early years, but I completely threw this matter to the public. On one side... this..."

The more he talked, the more Jia Min was so frightened that his back was covered with cold sweat: "The matter of Daiyu, no, no..."

"The emperor already knew about it." The concubine Xian shook her head, "But the emperor didn't mean to blame, and told me to advise my mother and grandmother well, you just don't worry about it."

Jia Min's whole body loosened and he almost collapsed on the ground. Tears fell down uncontrollably and wet the skirt.

"Leng Xiang, please Madam Lin and Miss Lin to rest in the backyard." The concubine told the maid, then smiled and said to Jia Min, "Auntie, take a rest at the back, it's time for the dinner call, I will ask someone to bring them Aunt and sister go over."

"Thank you, Empress Xian, for your kindness."

Watching the two of them follow Leng Xiang out of the palace gate, Concubine Xian sighed again.

"Master, what's the matter?" Baoqin was a little worried.

"I didn't doubt it at first... It's just that my mother mentioned it, but now I see that my sister is indeed a celestial being. Your majesty, will your majesty have any intention of letting Miss Lin into the palace?" Concubine Xian was worried, holding the harp "Otherwise, if something like this happens, why bother to pay attention to Miss Lin's boudoir reputation and just give her a marriage or..."

Speaking of this, the concubine obviously felt that something was wrong and immediately shut her mouth.

But Baoqin has heard Xianbi's thoughts.This girl who has lost her boudoir reputation, no matter how valuable her status is, there is only one way to become a monk.If it's good luck to give a marriage, it's naturally impossible to marry into the Rongguo Mansion as the wife of the main house, this...

She felt cold in her heart, but she didn't dare to refute, she just said lightly: "Master, Miss Lin is not in good health, how can a girl who is not healthy in the harem draft be selected into the palace. Besides, at Miss Lin's age, the emperor would not Will you be interested in a yellow-haired girl?"

"...That's true, it's just that this appearance always makes me frightened." Concubine Xian frowned, "No, at the dinner party, I have to pay attention! If you bring a big enemy from outside—— Bengong It's better to let Yingchun into the palace to be a helper!"

"Master! You are just thinking wildly!" Baoqin shook his head.

"Is this palace really thinking wildly?" The concubine muttered in a low voice with a bit of depression - on the other side of Jingren Palace, Concubine Zhao also had the same idea, but after seeing the young and frail concubine After Lin Daiyu, she completely put this idea behind her.

No matter what, it will take at least six years for this little girl to enter the palace, and in six years, Concubine Zhao is confident that if she follows her current pace, she will most likely become a queen!

Her thoughts were going back and forth in her mind, and she carefully instructed the palace servants to get ready with a solemn expression on her face.

In the evening, Jia Min's mother and daughter got into the sedan chair, followed the young eunuch who led the team, followed by the concubines, and left the Xianfu Palace one by one.

It took two incense sticks for the sedan chair to descend, Jia Min's mother and daughter held their breaths and followed the concubine into the Palace of Compassion and Peace.

An elderly nun was waiting in the inner room, and when she saw the concubine, she leaned forward and gave a blessing: "My lady, the empress dowager, please go to the hall to chat with the concubines first, and all the female relatives don't need to go to the hall to pay their respects, please go to Cining Take a break in the palace garden."

The mother and daughter Jia Min thanked her, and watched the concubine go to the main hall under the guidance of the nun, while the two of them went to the garden of the Palace of Compassion under the guidance of another aunt in charge.

A number of palace lanterns are hung high on the railings, reflecting the picturesque scenery of every step in the garden of the Palace of Compassion and Peace.Fragrant autumn osmanthus, small bridges and flowing water, forests of flowers and trees, and winding stone paths, there are already several female family members chatting and talking.
