[Red Chamber] I am Lin Daiyu and her uncle

Shenjiao stayed in the palace for several days, restless every day, waiting for the emperor to be free so that she could ask him to do something.

Of course, Concubine Xian still had to discuss this matter in person.

After all, whoever makes Concubine Xian is the Holy Majesty's favourite, what she says carries more weight than what a courtier like her says.

In fact, Shen Jiao has been avoiding Concubine Xian recently.

The reason was that Concubine Xian was already in a hurry to get angry because of her marriage, and took her to see various families and attend various banquets whenever she had the opportunity.

Ordinarily, this kind of banquet is a very common way of communication in the social circle of aristocratic women. For a lady like Shen Jiao, let alone enjoy it, it will not be difficult.

The bad thing is that Shen Jiao is the daughter of a general!

Not to mention that he lost his mother since he was a child, Shen Fang also dotes on her a lot, his only requirement for her is good conduct, compared with that, his requirement for Shen Gui is much higher.In addition, whether Shen Fang is a father or not a mother, she will not hold on to her etiquette, so Shen Jiao has lived a very free life since she was a child, and she can do whatever she wants.Now it's really embarrassing for her to pretend to be a daughter of everyone and talk and laugh with all the ladies.

In the past, Concubine Xian thought about cultivating her to be a noble lady of a famous family with "modesty in words and deeds and polite manners".But Xia Zhen's body was really disappointing. Over the years, Concubine Xian had spent a lot of effort in taking care of his body. She wanted to take care of him but was powerless, so she could only talk and urge him verbally.

Another one is that Shen Fang has never remarried since his wife passed away in dystocia. The father and mother brought up a pair of children.He started from humble beginnings, grew up in the wilderness, did not have much foundation, and after he made a fortune, he also kept himself clean, not corrupt, not lecherous, and there was nothing else in his family except for a few old servants.But even so, there are about ten people in the family, and a housekeeper is a must.

When Shenjiao was young, he spent more time in the palace than outside. Shen Fang was also a workaholic. He took Shen Gui to the army all day long. At first, he didn't need a housekeeper.Later, Shen Jiao grew up, and it was not appropriate to live in the palace for a long time. In addition, Concubine Xian also wanted to exercise Shen Jiao's housekeeping skills, so she was asked to take over the Shen family's housework early.

It was at this time that Shenjiao's all-round exquisiteness was tempered. Concubine Xian was afraid that she would be wronged, so she specially sent the old man in the palace to guide her.She is also sensitive, she can see through a little bit, and slowly, she can also stand on her own.

But, although this exercised Shenjiao's housekeeping ability, it also inadvertently enhanced her "independence" consciousness. I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse...

Xianfu Palace

Concubine Xian was instructing the maid to put the medicinal food into the food box, she made two portions, and the one in the food box was ready to be sent to Zhongcui Palace.

"Mother concubine."

Xia Zhen walked into the hall, and saw Concubine Xian fiddling with the food box at a glance, sniffed it, it was quite fragrant.

"Hmm, it smells so good! Concubine Mu, what are you doing today?"

Seeing that it was Xia Zhen, Concubine Xian laughed before saying anything.

"It's all what you usually eat, and it's nothing new."

While talking, he pulled Xia Zhen to sit aside, took a closer look at his face, squeezed his shoulder again, and said with half worry and half joy: "I'm thinner, but my face is much rosier than before, it seems that I can't do it." If you only eat medicinal food, you should eat more."

Hearing what Concubine Xian said, Xia Zhen was a little speechless, "Concubine Mother, I haven't seen you for a few days, how can I lose weight so obviously? It's true that I look good, after all, the congee made by Mother Concubine is delicious. , My son can’t get enough to eat.”

Seeing her son praising herself like this, Concubine Xian couldn't help but joked: "What? After eating for so many years, you still haven't gotten tired of it? Concubine Mother, remember that when you were young, you were impatient to eat this medicinal porridge. You make a few plates of mung bean cakes before you are willing to eat them, but now you have changed your mind, Ang?"

Xia Zhen knew that his mother was teasing him, so he smiled, and simply said: "What is the concubine mother saying? In the past, the son was considered ignorant, but in fact, as long as it is made by the concubine mother himself, the son loves to eat it!"

These words coaxed Concubine Xian to be elated, and she couldn't love Xia Zhen in her heart, so she stretched out her hand, pinched Xia Zhen's face, gritted her teeth and said with a smile: "You brat's mouth is sweet enough!"

Afterwards, the mother and son chatted about some family matters, but there was nothing to say.

"Mother Concubine, where is Sister Ying?"

Xia Zhen waited here for a long time, but there was no sign of Shen Jiao.

"That girl? Hey! No, didn't the daughter of Mrs. Lin's family not come into the palace not long ago? For some reason, Ying'er and Yi'er got along well with her, and they were tired of being together all day long. Now, I guess I went to Zhongcui Palace to play with that child again."

Xia Zhen nodded, "That's the reason."

"But mother concubine, sister Ying, is there anything else to do when she enters the palace this time?"

Concubine Xian frowned and said, "Yes, there is, but it's related to Brother Lin."

When Xia Zhen heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Has the concubine mother already mentioned it to the emperor?"

Concubine Xian shook her head, "No." Then she sighed deeply: "Your father is so busy with Jiangnan affairs that he doesn't even have time to eat, how can I bear to disturb him."

Xia Zhen heaved a sigh of relief, "Mother and Concubine, you don't need to mention this matter with the emperor anymore, the brother of the Lin family has already returned to the Imperial College."

"Yo, that's right." After thinking about it, I felt wrong again, "Then how do you know?"

"Uncle Xiaohuang just found me and mentioned this matter to me."

Concubine Xian was even more confused, "Why did you get involved with Shui Rong again?"

"Uh……"

Xia Zhen mulled over his words, and then said: "Evergreen and the brother of the Lin family have a good time, and the little emperor is very close to Changrong, so the relationship between the three of them is very good."

Concubine Xian nodded after listening.

Then I didn't make a sound for a long time, and finally, I sighed again, looked at Xia Zhen, and said very earnestly, "You are growing up too, and you have your own thoughts on many things, mother concubine..." After a pause, "Mother concubine only I hope you are well, your royal father is also planning and planning for you everywhere, no matter what, be careful in everything."

With that said, he patted Xia Zhen's hand lightly.

Xia Zhen also held Concubine Xian back, and nodded in a muffled voice.

it is more than words……

Zhongcui Palace.

The fifth princess and Shenjiao are all in the courtyard where Daiyu lives. The environment in the courtyard is quiet and the best for self-cultivation.

In fact, the whole Zhongcui Palace is decorated with elegant style, and the courtyard where Daiyu lives is just one of many small courtyards in Zhongcui Palace, nothing special.

But it was because there was nothing special that Daiyu comforted her.

Daiyu needs pity from others?

Obviously not needed.

So Concubine Kang treated Daiyu as an ordinary county lord from beginning to end. She had the same attitude towards Daiyu as she did to the princesses and princesses.

Not overly obsequious, nor intentionally alienated, in short, he treats Daiyu as a normal person.

As for Daiyu's frail body, her mother's death at a young age, her family's decline, her old father's support, and her uncle's lack of success, etc., she doesn't care at all, okay?

What a normal county lord should do, learn, and have, she will take care of everything for her, and will not be biased in the slightest because of Daiyu's personal misery, what she wants is fairness and justice!

Obviously the emperor also knew what Concubine Kang was like, otherwise he would not have given Daiyu to her.

So Concubine Kang is actually quite interesting.

It is said that she is cold-hearted, but she takes great care and love for Shenjiao; that she is unreasonable, but she can always take care of Daiyu in her own way inadvertently; The entire Zhongcui Palace is firmly under control, and it is managed in an orderly manner.

How weird!

But thinking that she is a descendant of Empress Dowager Wenhuan, it seems that no matter how rare things happen to her, it is not surprising?

Several people were chatting, but someone came to report outside.

Seeing this, Zicuckoo hurried over.

Although Daiyu brought Zijuan into the palace at the beginning, but there was a rule in the palace that maids like Zijuan who came in from outside had to receive special training before they were allowed to enter the palace to serve.She just finished her training not long ago, and she just came to Daiyu's side yesterday.

Zijuan took the food box from that person, talked to her a few more words, and walked to them after putting the food box in the small kitchen.

"Miss Shen, Concubine Xian told you to go back."

"Huh? Did you say something?" Shen Jiao was a little surprised, she had only been out for a while, and it wasn't time for dinner.

Zijuan shook her head, "Just now that elder sister only said that there was an 'important matter', but she didn't say what it was."

"O—" Shen Jiao was a little disappointed.

She was chatting happily, leaving now, really makes people unwilling, but also afraid that Concubine Xian really has "important matters", so she got up and said goodbye to Fifth Princess and Daiyu.

Daiyu heard that there was an "important matter", so she didn't dare to keep her, she only said that next time she and the fifth princess would take the initiative to find her, and the fifth princess also nodded in agreement.

In the morning, Shenjiao got the news that Lin Qing had returned to the Imperial College, and in the afternoon, he went to Zhongcui Palace to inform Daiyu.

Daiyu was relieved to hear that.

After thinking about it, there was nothing to thank Shen Jiao for, so she thought about embroidering a sachet for Shen Jiao with her own hands.

After asking Shenjiao what color and pattern he likes, he began to embroider.

In the middle of the embroidery, the fifth princess saw Bisheng, so she made a fuss about Daiyu wanting it too.Daiyu was troubled by her and had no choice but to agree to embroider one for her too.

Fortunately, the patterns and patterns that these two people like are not complicated, and during this period of time, they had to be recuperated by the imperial concubine and Xianfei's medicinal diet. Daiyu's energy was much stronger than before, so she embroidered two sachets without much effort. , it was beyond her own expectation.

outside the palace.

After a while, Shen Gui was finally released from the barracks by his father. Of course, the first thing he did when he came out was to line up at the gate of Shuyao Zhai to buy snacks for his father.

Coincidentally, I ran into Lin Qing who was also queuing up to buy dim sum.

I haven't seen my best friend for a long time, so I want to have a good time together.

So the two of them got into Shui Rong and booked a box in Changqing Building, preparing for the holidays on the first and fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, so that the three of them could get together again.

Unexpectedly, this gathering brought together a disaster.
