The eldest son of the concubine who crossed the red mansion

Xue Baochai felt that there were always people around him pointing fingers.She was originally a new maid in the palace, but because she was assigned to her cousin Jia Yuanchun, she was looked at highly by others.Later, she came up with a plan to make her cousin become a concubine Xiande, and she also rose with the tide, and was promoted to a second-class female official.It's just that Mint, another second-class female officer who lives with her recently, often evades her words, which makes her really confused.

"Hey, Sister Bohe, is Miss Baochai here?" Shao Yao, a third-class maid who was also new to the palace this year, poked her head in and asked in a low voice.

Bo He and Baochai lived in the same place. She looked back at Xue Baochai who was sleeping lightly on the couch, and whispered, "I fell asleep in the back room. What's the matter with you?"

"It's good to sleep! We just want to come in and talk to Sister Mint." Shaoyao said with a smile.He also looked at Xue Baochai who was sleeping on his side, "Miss Baochai really has a lot of free time. We are all so busy serving our mother that we wish we had three heads and six arms. Miss Baochai was born to have a lunch break."

"Your words are really sour. Baochai is the empress's cousin, how about more rest time?" Mint glanced at Shaoyao, "If you have the time to chew your tongue, you might as well take care of your own affairs."

"Sister Bohe's words are wrong. If the empress really loves Miss Baochai, why doesn't she help her with the family affairs? You must know that her brother is the biggest murderer, and will be beheaded next autumn. "Shao Yao curled her lips in disdain, "They are cousins, one is a high-ranking concubine, and the other is a servant girl who serves others. The background of a businessman determines everything. Do you not care if you are a Baochai girl?"

"You're going to die!" Mint scolded fiercely in a low voice, "Your Majesty let go, you are not allowed to talk about Baochai's family in Fengzao Palace, if you want to die, just keep talking, you see How will the empress deal with you!"

Shao Yao flinched and begged for mercy: "Sister Mint, I know I was wrong, and I dare not say it again!"

Mint sent Shaoyao away, looked back at Xue Baochai who had been motionless on the couch, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.

Xue Baochai, who was lying on the couch, already had tears in her eyes, and her hands were clenched so tightly that her palms almost bleed from scratching.

Oh, this is the so-called cousin.Xue Baochai bit her lip, no wonder she wanted to go out of the palace and go home again and again recently, her good cousin pushed her away completely, saying that it is not convenient for her to go out of the palace now, and she will let her go after a few days When I went back, it turned out that this was the case.

Jia Yuanchun, you are ruthless!Xue Baochai hated and resented, if she hadn't come from a family of imperial merchants, if she was also a girl from a family of royal merchants like Jia Yuanchun, would she have been favored by the emperor like her cousin?

Lin Yuxuan played with the sea blue corundum bracelet inlaid with clear diamonds that Master Qiaozhizhai had made for him before, and smiled with satisfaction.Ask Pearl to bring a brocade box, carefully put it in, and then tell Lin Hui to go to Prince Gong's Mansion to invite Tu Qingchen to Zuixian Tower.

"What's the matter? It's so cold that they brought me here from the palace." Tu Qingchen yawned.

Lin Yuxuan rolled his eyes towards the sky.This prince is quite serious in front of people, but after getting to know him for a long time, he became more "real". Lin Yuxuan pushed the brocade box in front of Tu Qingchen and said, "This is my gift for the princess."

Tu Qingchen raised his eyebrows, took it over and opened it, nodded in satisfaction, patted Lin Yuxuan on the shoulder, and said, "Good boy, you're kind enough."

"My lord, pay attention to your image as a royal." Lin Yuxuan asked someone to bring some pots of warm wine and some side dishes, as well as a hot pot and some plates of mutton. "It's cold, my lord, let's eat."

"I heard that the virtuous concubine in the palace did not plead with the emperor for the Xue family's affairs, so she is quite clever." Lin Yuxuan took a sip of the wine before eating a piece of boiled mutton, and asked Tu Qingchen about it without any trace. , "Did the prince find out anything?"

Tu Qingchen gave Lin Yuxuan a sideways look with a look of "Don't go around in circles", and then he drank a glass of wine and said: "But anyone with a clear head knows that this kind of intercession can't be said. How could I allow myself to lose this favor because of these relatives' affairs after being favored by the emperor's brother?"

Lin Yuxuan nodded with a smile, he had an idea in his mind, and he didn't know if it would come true.

Xue Baochai stroked her long hair from her temples, and facing the mirror, put two silver hairpins inlaid with water and crystals on her bun, a pair of pendants inlaid with bright jade and butterfly love flowers on her ears, and pink on her face. Meihuanu rouge, full lips painted with bright red powder.She seldom puts on heavy make-up to herself. At home and in Fengzao Palace, she only wears light make-up and doesn't often wear any jewelry. But this time, she decided to do a good job of dressing herself up and work hard for the future of herself and the Xue family. some.

Jia Yuanchun went to the Queen's Palace to pay his respects, and would not be able to return for a while.She has to grasp this period of time.Xue Baochai finally understood that even if she had the support of her cousin Concubine Xiande in this palace, she was still not a slave.Only when she becomes the emperor's woman can she keep her family's glory and wealth and her brother's life.

Jia Yuanchun, relying on your own concubine, you issued a password ban and a foot ban in Fengzao Palace, preventing me from receiving news from my own family, preventing me from doing anything for my family, and causing my brother to be imprisoned now He was tortured in the Ministry of Criminal Justice.Jia Yuanchun, you don't even want the friendship between the Jia family and the Xue family for the sake of your own wealth and favor, so why should I care about my aunt's affection?No woman in this palace wants to be the emperor's woman, and so am I!

The female officials in the palace are not allowed to wear clothes of other colors except green. Xue Baochai picked it out, and changed into a water-green embroidered gold-blue satin collar, a light green sunflower silk heald skirt, and a green lotus-colored squirrel skirt. She wore a leather jacket, wore blue shoes embroidered with magnolia flowers, and held a silk handkerchief embroidered with double lotus flowers. She took a deep breath, opened the door and went out.

Now that the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager are not in the palace, the Emperor does not need to greet the two elders.Xue Baochai walked to the hexagonal stone road in the Imperial Garden, picked a plum blossom, put it on the tip of her nose and sniffed it, then lowered her head and put the plum blossom in the plum vase in her hand.

Xue Baochai only found out about this road after inquiring about it for a long time. Every time the emperor went to the Queen's Palace to accept concubines' greetings, he would take this road.Out of the corner of Xue Baochai's eyes, she saw a bright yellow figure walking towards her, so she turned around and walked towards the next plum tree.

Tu Qingze raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect this girl from the Xue family to have some tricks, so he walked over slowly.

"Which palace are you from?" Dai Quan hurriedly asked when he saw Tu Qingze approaching the maid with a playful smile on his face.

"My maidservant has seen the emperor, and I greet the emperor." Xue Baochai knelt down and saluted with her neck half hanging, "This servant girl is the second-class female official Xue Shi who is next to the Xiande concubine of Fengzao Palace."

"So it's the female officer next to Concubine Xiande, what are you doing in the plum garden?" Tu Qingze asked with a smile as he looked at the woman in front of him who had obviously been carefully dressed, his eyes flickered a few times.

"The empress said that the emperor likes to drink wine made from plum blossoms, so she ordered the servants to come to the plum garden to pick some plum blossoms while the weather was fine, and prepare to take them back to the palace to make wine." Xue Baochai is not afraid of the power of heaven and dragons. For the favorite concubine next to the emperor, she must be able to do it.

"So that's how it is." Tu Qingze smiled, "It's cold, so don't stay in the plum garden any longer, go back early. You can tell Concubine Xiande that you don't need to prepare things like plum blossom brewing. The ones prepared by the Ministry of Internal Affairs It's good enough."

"Your servant obeys." Xue Baochai lowered her head and watched the bright yellow go away, feeling a little unsure if she could attract the emperor's attention this time.

"Your Majesty, that girl..." Dai Quan saw that Tu Qingze was interested but showed no signs of accepting her into the harem, so he said, "If the Emperor likes that slave, he can accept her."

"No need, let's talk about it later." Tu Qingze raised the corner of his mouth, "The second-class female officer of Fengzao Palace... the girl from the Xue family is not bad."
