The eldest brother of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

When Jing Xian entered the palace to thank her, she naturally had to dress up.She was born exquisitely, and the scar was well-painted, but it added a bit of color. Now that she has raised her for a long time, her figure has become a little plump, but she has changed from her previous cold appearance, adding a bit of glamor and extravagance. She didn't believe in Buddhism at first, but she was holding a string of beads in her hand at the moment: "You don't have to go."

Daiyu turned her head, picked out a brightly colored red pomegranate bead flower, and asked Xueyan to insert it for her: "Your Majesty will not blame it, but how can such an untimely thing be done by people like us? What do people say about our family? I can’t hear it at home, and my sister-in-law can’t bear it there.” Jing Xian stretched out her right hand to let Xi’er paint her nails with azalea flowers, and still held the string of Buddhist beads in her left hand: "What's the point?" Compared with words, she has never lost.

"Nowadays is not the same as in the past. After all, His Majesty wants to treat the princess well. Even if the mother is biased towards our family these days, we can't stab people in her palace." Daiyu smiled lightly, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, I know it .”

Lin Mo helped his wife and sister into the carriage. Daiyu now has a title, and the traveling carriage naturally comes according to her grade and specification, so she can no longer ride with Jingxian.Lin Mo said: "Most people in the palace will give food, and I will ask Lin Ke and Qi San to pick you up." He also understood his wife's difficulty, and whispered: "If someone speaks bad words, don't worry about it." Just listen." Jingxian gritted her teeth and said, "When Yu'er is married, I have to scold Rong Er severely." Lin Mo laughed and said: "I knew it would be like this, he tied himself up a few days ago. When he comes to me to confess his crimes, I should tell you to whip him a few times to relieve his anger." He and Rong Jia are both disciples of the Kong family, and they have been in and out with the Kong brothers, and they are very close, knowing that Jing Xian is just a Just kidding, but continued, "Yu'er has my temper, I'm afraid she's married, and you don't need to do anything."

Although it's a joke, but entering the palace this time is indeed a difficulty.

While secretly scolding Rong Jia for being reckless, Jingxian secretly glanced at Daiyu from the side of her head, seeing her sister's peaceful face, half a smile that was not a smile, she was so peaceful, she was a little ashamed of herself.The queen didn't mean to blame them when she saw them, but she wasn't as close as usual, she just asked why she didn't bring Xiuhang along, she was nervous for a while when she heard that the child couldn't get wind, Jingxian explained Xiuhang's body There is no hindrance, it's just that his father was afraid of the cold when he was young, afraid that his son would be like him, so he didn't dare to let him see the wind, so the queen felt relieved, and didn't say much.

Princess Mingyao said: "The hearts of parents in the world are all the same."

The queen nodded and said: "Very true." Then she said, "Princess Chun thinks you are thinking too hard, so don't go back tonight. You are also going to be a mother-in-law soon, so how many times can we see each other in the future?" Ming Princess Yao's mother and concubine were of low status back then, and were not qualified to raise the princess. At that time, the Jingfu Palace where she lived was the empress dowager, and the empress dowager was happy to be a good person.Now that the pure nobleman has been promoted to the throne and is conferred the title of pure concubine, Princess Mingyao has the heart to say that she is raised by the empress dowager, and she is not very happy after hearing what the empress said.It's just that it's my own mother, so I swayed and agreed.

"Everyone is quite well-mannered today, have you greeted the old sage? Yanxiu, come and sit with your aunt." The queen asked the youngest daughter of Princess Mingcheng to sit with her, "I ate all of it here. Meal. The past few months have been chaotic, and the year has not been a good one, so we have to celebrate it."

Princess Ming Le said: "It's rare that Ming Rong and the others are back, it's a pity that Ming Yang and Ming Wan are missing."

She said this casually, Jingxian slightly lowered her head, Princess Mingwan has always been in poor health, she has been childless for several years after she got married.Therefore, she personally chose a concubine for the son-in-law. Unexpectedly, after the son-in-law had two sons-in-law, she also gave birth to a son-in-law. In this way, the status of Fu Rong and his brothers would be embarrassing.Now that something happened to Fu Rong, the princess was probably quite happy in her heart, but who would have thought that in the end she would get involved with the son-in-law, and it was her own fault that she was not the godfather. , won’t it ruin you and your son’s reputation?” In addition to the demotion of the son-in-law, her son’s future title will also be demoted, she was angry and anxious, and it turned out that she had suffered from shortness of breath again.

In fact, besides Ming Wan, Princess Ming Li was also absent.Mr. Fang is very temperamental. Fang Pingyun has not got out of bed until now. At that time, he was not allowed to call the imperial physician. The princess came forward and called the imperial physician, but the imperial physician was not sure. He reminded him carefully, saying that his leg might fall off. The trouble came, the princess didn't dare to scold her father-in-law, so she could only scold the imperial doctor for being useless, and scold the son-in-law for his life.The relationship between their husband and wife is harmonious, and now the princess is taking care of her at the bedside.

Ming Rong said: "Ming Wan, this child, has been very thoughtful since she was a child. She is not in good health, and this trip is a disaster," she said, carefully looking at the Queen's face.If I had known that the Empress favored the Jingyuan Hou Mansion, I wondered if she would be angry.It's just that Rong Jia's big flag was raised, and the artillery fire was directed at the son-in-law. Although Ming Rong married far away and rarely came back, she still felt sorry for her.

People are divided into high and low. If they are grand relatives and relatives, if they are really on an equal footing with ordinary people, what will they look like?

The queen took a bite of the crisp apricot cake brought by her niece and daughter, as if she didn't hear anything, she just stroked Yanxiu's hair, praised her for her dexterity, and asked Princess Mingcheng to take her into the palace more often.

Seeing that the Queen didn't speak, the other princesses joined in, and they didn't mention Rong Jia, they just said that Wan was pitiful.

Where are they speaking for Ming Wan?On the contrary, she speaks more for Mingli.The evidence of Fu Rong's matter is solid, not to mention killing people in the street is indeed irrefutable, but Fang Pingyun, just because he is a junior of his own family, and helping him, isn't it common in official circles?Does it have to be a person who has torn his face and made people look bad inside and out?It was a small matter that was caught by Rong Jia. Most of the concubines and sons of the princesses served the court. Not many were as arrogant and unreasonable as Fu Rong, but Fang Pingyun gave face to acquaintances like Fang Pingyun. He often turns a blind eye and closes his eyes, but there are quite a few people who do things for his own family, now he seizes an opportunity to blame Rong Jia for causing Ming Wan to stay ill in bed.

Jing Xian scratched at her nails, wanting to scrape off the dyed color, just when she was annoyed, she heard Daiyu say: "Aunt Ming Wan is pure and kind, she just went to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager, and I heard her persuade the old sage It is said that the princess established a separate princess mansion. It is not proper to have a son-in-law before a son-in-law. Aunt Mingwan is lenient and generous. Except for the royal family, there is no other person who is so generous and courteous. This is Aunt Mingwan's How can you blame the princess when you feel wronged, and you end up doing something wrong? The old sage was very distressed when he heard that his aunt was ill. Although only the empress dowager dared to say this, I thought, what the empress said was true That's right, how can you blame the golden branches and jade leaves of the princess's mansion for the bad things of the son-in-law's family?"

She spoke gently and carefully, generously, and she still had time to thank sister Yanxiu for the tea. Princess Mingrong was stunned for a while before she said: "Usually, I thought that sister Mingcheng was eloquent, but now it seems that sister , your mouth is about to lose to the younger generation." Princess Mingcheng said awkwardly: "Is there anything else you can say? It's all about it. But Yu'er is indeed very eloquent and has a good appearance. Look, she looks like the daughter of the emperor's sister-in-law."

"Calling you to come into the palace, sisters get together and drink tea, why are you running on my girl." The queen also laughed, her tone was flat, she didn't know if she was angry or not.But luckily she didn't go on, she just got out of the way and someone came to ask: "Isn't there a married woman who came into the palace today to greet the palaces? Ask them if they are all right, if the words are almost the same, then simply move to another place , come to me and continue." After thinking for a while, he said, "There is no need for Lanchun Palace, let Concubine Yuan talk to her natal family more, one less meeting."

Daiyu's heart skipped a beat, it's one thing for her sister-in-law to mention it, but it's another thing to hear the verdict of that person's death.The empress has always been kind and dignified, as if there is no sorrow or joy in the temple, a merciful and loving Bodhisattva, now casually said that a good concubine is about to disappear, which made Daiyu feel that this is the one who is in charge of the phoenix seal in the harem, Master of life and death.

The big guys were quiet for a while, and after the concubines and wives arrived and saluted each other, they became lively again.

"Forget it, you came to the palace early in the morning, why don't you just come to my place to greet you, and give a few big gifts." The queen has always been considerate of the elderly, and the emperor's harem is not as huge as the emperor's, let alone the concubine Zhunyun's natal family. People came to the palace to pay their respects, but not many had such qualifications, and many of them were not from the capital. Even so, quite a few came. Fortunately, the empress had a spacious place to sit down.Daiyu was a little worried when she saw that there was no grandmother and Mrs. Wang here, but when she saw that everyone was seated according to orders and titles, she rejoiced according to herself. Then, the daughter-in-law stood and spoke.Comparing her heart with her heart, she thought, Mother Jia, Mrs. Wang, and Mrs. Xing must not be willing to bow down to herself in such a large crowd.

"It's been a long time since we've been so lively." The Queen said, "I have a happy event to talk about while everyone is here. You probably heard the news that Qian Xueguo sent envoys to find a marriage for their crown prince. The documents have arrived, and the envoy is on the way. It’s only a few days. We are in the kingdom of heaven, and their crown prince is not yet married, so it is a match made in heaven. Your Majesty plans to host a banquet in the palace to receive the envoy. Your palace is preparing for it. I know your little one. There are a lot of ideas in the kitchen, what’s delicious and fun, don’t be stingy at this time. If there is no time to prepare in the palace, and the materials are not complete, take advantage of my mother’s family, why don’t you make a good fortune and post it to me.”

Everyone laughed and said the queen was funny.The queen said: "It's not in vain to keep you busy. If you have any brilliant ideas, you will naturally be rewarded." Look at the Western clock, "It's almost time, let's pass on the meal."

At the grand banquet in Kunyang Palace, the Supreme Emperor, Empress Dowager, and the Emperor also rewarded a lot of dishes. Everyone thanked them and sat down according to their seats, but Jingxian had to sit with Jingnan Houfei and others. Daiyu's tablemate is Princess Jingyi, who is also a quiet master.

During the banquet, the queen proposed to learn from the folk drinking orders, and everyone had to join in. Daiyu was listening to Yanxiu, but Jing Yi pulled her sleeves. She looked over strangely, but saw Jing Yi worried. .The newly married princess and Daiyu have always been on good terms, she couldn't help asking: "Sister, is she in a bad mood today?"

"Look," Jing Yi said, "Our royal aunts don't have any offspring to prosper."

What she said was true, the Supreme Emperor had more than a dozen princesses, but the one with the most offspring was the Xincheng Princess, who only had one son and two daughters, and many more could not even have both sons and daughters.The princesses are weak and sick, but not many, not to mention their brothers, nephews, and heirs are justified. Princess Qin already has two legitimate sons, and the third is almost a few months away. I heard that the princess who came to marry him from Tibet also has one. Heir, why can't the princess do it?

"You are a very lucky person." Jing Yi glanced at Daiyu, then lowered her head.

Daiyu comforted her: "Sister, why not? Why don't you hire an imperial doctor and start recuperating early?" Jing Yi looked embarrassed: "Even if I am not ashamed, I have to save face for you sisters."

Daiyu's heart moved: "If my sister is worried, and I'm too embarrassed to ask the imperial physician, we have a doctor who specializes in this kind of thing. I'm afraid my sister will hate it."

Jing Yi was silent for a long time, and suddenly smiled wryly: "You are still a child, you don't understand these things."

There is something Daiyu doesn't understand.

Princess Jingyi is having a bad time!She opened another princess mansion, so her husband's family can't control her naturally, who can make her unhappy?She understood that Jingyi was being embarrassed by herself, and beat her to sue for her.It's just that the two have always been on good terms, and she really doesn't want to see her sister being wronged.He said, "What do I not understand? Sister, don't worry."

Just saying that, but I feel that the princess with golden branches and jade leaves is not easy.Even worse than himself, elder brother, sister-in-law, and even the third younger brother always shouted to kick Rong Jia.

So what.

Jing Yi looked at the wives who were laughing and discussing how to receive the envoys of Qianxue Kingdom, and suddenly said with a smile: "People, they are all greedy."
