The Lady of the Red Chamber

Situ Yu is the second prince of the current Holy Majesty, his mother is Concubine Zhen who is the favorite of the Sixth Palace, and his grandmother is the Holy Majesty's wet nurse, Mrs. Fengsheng.

Since childhood, Situ Yu has been pampered and pampered by others, and served with rich clothes and fine food.

Even the noble concubine Yunhui, who was in charge of Fengyin, even though she was fighting with concubine Zhen like a raging fire, would occasionally show a kind smile when facing him.

The eldest son of the Empress Yuan has long passed away, and he is the eldest son among the princes.

This status makes him occasionally complacent, and he looks down on other younger brothers.

All this ended when he was 17 years old.

His mother and concubine asked him to marry a concubine, and he fell in love with a girl from the Zhen family who was also his cousin.

Since childhood, he grew up under the control of Concubine Zhen. What he studies and reads every day is controlled by Concubine Zhen.

Including marriage.

Not half free.

"Has your Highness been troubled recently? Looking at you with a sleepy look, you seem to be quite upset."

Looking at the question with a hippie smile accompanying him, Situ Yu couldn't say no matter what, he didn't want to marry a girl from the Zhen family as the imperial concubine.So he could only vaguely say: "It's nothing, it's just that the weather has been calm recently, and I feel rather boring."

Companion read "I understand" and looked at Situ Yu winkingly: "Your Highness, why don't you go to Zuixianju to drink with me tonight. I promise, this wine will make Your Highness drink so much that you won't want to leave."

Situ Yu looked disbelieving: "Really?"

He is a prince who grew up in a deep palace since he was a child. He has never seen any rare treasures.Is there anything else that can open his eyes?

Seeing Situ Yu's suspicious and disdainful face, the accompanying reader immediately felt insulted, and said urgently: "Your Highness, if you don't believe me, just go with me once, and it won't bother you. Just have fun."

Situ Yu felt that the companion had good intentions, and if he refused again, it would be a slap in the face, and he said: "In that case, the hall will go with you to open your eyes and see what it is that makes you so admired."

Drunken Xianju is not the wine, but the people.

The new oiran, Xue Ji, is heavenly and beautiful, with icy muscles and fine bones.She is dressed in snow-colored white clothes all year round, holding a crested pipa in her arms.

Even when meeting guests, she covers her face with a light veil, leaving only a pair of affectionate phoenix eyes, which arouse people's infinite reverie.

Companion and Situ Yu sat in the private room, and introduced to Situ Yu: "Miss Xueji only sells her art, not her body. Even so, it is still difficult for ordinary people to see each other, even if they spend a lot of money, they may not get what they want. I just don't know Does Your Highness have the ability to let Miss Xue Ji show up today?"

Situ Yu didn't care.

In the harem, Concubine Yi's mother and concubine are all over the country, Concubine Hui's mother is heroic and bright, and even her own concubine mother is as bright as a flower and as bright as the sun.

Not to mention every draft, those beauties who are selected thousands of times.

No matter how beautiful Xue Ji is, can she surpass her father's harem?It's just a gimmick caused by still holding the pipa.

Time passed little by little.

The beauties in the center of the first floor have already stepped onto the stage.

The companion sighed: "It looks like I won't see Miss Xue Ji again today."

Situ Yu was noncommittal about this, and squinted his eyes comfortably while drinking the pear blossom wine in the cup.

Seeing that the companion had taken the girl he liked to the private room next to him, Situ Yu felt that the room was stuffy, so he couldn't help getting up and wanting to take a walk outside the courtyard.

As soon as the cool evening wind blew, Situ Yu trembled: "Where is the sound of the pipa coming from?"

Situ Yu looked back at the mournful music not far away, and walked forward slowly.

The sound is getting louder and clearer.

Situ Yu's heart was agitated, and he couldn't help but took out the jade flute that he carried with him, and played with him.

At the end of a song, a woman holding a pipa and spreading flowers and blowing willows came across the moon.

"The sound of the flute just now was played by the young master?"

Situ Yu was a little at a loss, thinking that he had disturbed the purity of others, so he cupped his hands and bowed: "My name is... Zhen Yu, I didn't know that the girl was here, and I offended the girl, please forgive me."

Xue Ji smiled lightly, under the snow-colored veil, there were only ecstasy in her eyes: "It's hard to find a bosom friend, and it's hard to find a piano friend, so why bother to offend. Little girl Xue Ji, I've seen you."

It turned out that she was Xue Ji.

In the days that followed, Situ Yu often went out of the palace to look for Xue Ji in the name of a companion.

The two couple poems and paintings together, appreciating the fairy music together, there is a kind of harmony of the qin and zither that has been quiet for years.

Until one day, Concubine Zhen found out about this.

Concubine Zhen combed her hair in a high bun, wore a gorgeous long skirt, and was covered with gold, silver and jade ornaments. She sat on a high seat, looked down at her son kneeling in the center of the hall, and smiled softly: "Second brother, I heard that you recently had a relationship with a The oiran came very close."

Situ Yu clenched the hand hanging by his side, pretending not to care: "Mother Concubine, it's nothing. It's just that Ji Yu and the others often go to Zuixianju, and Er Chen occasionally goes with them. Mother Concubine also As I said, I want Erchen to have more contacts with Ji Yu and others. They are all Erchen's companions, and they are originally Erchen's right-hand assistants. Sometimes they invite Erchen to a banquet, and it is difficult for Erchen to refuse."

Zhen Guifei narrowed her eyes and looked at her son: "Really?"

Situ Yu lowered his head and looked at the gold brick in front of him: "It's true, how dare I lie to my mother and concubine."

Concubine Zhen smiled again, her eyes were not warm at all: "Since that's the case, I think the oiran looks pretty good. It just so happens that your second uncle came to Beijing recently. You also know that your second uncle has no hobbies, but prefers beauties. Ben The palace is the master, redeem that oiran's body, and give it to your uncle."

Situ Yu hurriedly raised his head: "Mother Concubine."

Concubine Zhen said: "What? Do you think the mother concubine's handling is not good? She is a lowly oiran, and it is a special blessing to be a concubine for my Zhen family. Could it be that she still wants to be the prince's concubine? "

Situ Yu fell to the ground dejectedly.

It turned out that he didn't hide from his mother and concubine what he thought he did quietly.

Concubine Zhen knew all about him and Xue Ji.

Situ Yu wants to rebel against Concubine Zhen, and wants to tell her: I like Xue Ji, and I want to grow old with her forever.

But looking at Concubine Zhen's sharp eyes, Situ Yu's lips twitched, unable to say anything.

If he's really that impulsive...

I believe that Xue Ji will die unexpectedly in the morning tomorrow.

Even her head will be placed on the table in her room.

This is the warning that Concubine Zhen gave him.

Situ Yu began to arrange a way out for Xue Ji.

In the early years, he had the grace of Qin Ye to save his life. If something happened, at least Qin Ye could become Xue Ji's place.

Afterwards, he began to transfer the property under his own name, and ordered his confidants to keep Concubine Zhen's attention away.

It's a pity that in the past he relied too much on Concubine Zhen, so that at critical moments, he didn't have many real capable people on hand.

Situ Yu thought, if the emperor father could agree to the matter between him and Xue Ji, then even the concubine mother would have no choice.

So he went to the imperial study to ask Emperor Ming Xi.

Before the trial, on the gold bricks, he kowtowed so badly that he hoped that Emperor Ming Xi would issue an order to give Xue Ji an identity.

Even if Xue Ji can't be the main concubine, even if she is a side concubine, he is willing.

But he underestimated his status in Emperor Mingxi's mind.

In the past, Emperor Mingxi always said that he was his most beloved son.

In fact, this is just a pawn used to check and balance Concubine Yunhui.

How can a chess piece ruin the reputation of the royal family?

Situ Yu arranged for Xue Ji to die of illness, and he thought it was perfect, until the raging fire burned down the small courtyard where Xue Ji lived, and he didn't know——

Everything I have done is just a joke in the eyes of my father, mother and concubine.

A faint cry came.

Situ Yu followed the sound, and found an infant baby among the ruins.

This is his and Xue Ji's daughter.

......

Xue Ji caressed her belly, and sat by the window, with a pure white camellia in her cloud-like black hair, and a gentle smile: "What is your Highness thinking?"

Situ Yu was looking at a book of poems.

Looking up, it is like a flower and a beautiful family, like a passing year.

"I'm thinking, Qingqing is lovely, I am very happy."
