[Red Chamber] I am Lin Daiyu and her uncle

"I know."

Lin Qing didn't care at all, and slowly found a seat and sat down, took a sip of tea.

"What's up with her?"

Seeing Lin Qing's calm appearance, Shen Jiao became anxious for no reason, sat next to him and couldn't wait to say: "She was betrothed to King Yu by the empress!"

"Huh?" Lin Qing put down the half-drinked teacup, raised her eyebrows and looked at Shenjiao beside her, "Didn't King Yu accept a side concubine not long ago?"

Shen Jiao sighed, "Who said it wasn't!"

"Zhou Concubine came in shortly after King Yu's wedding. This matter had put Princess Yu's face in the first place. But now, the title of eldest grandson was taken away by the child in Concubine Zhou's womb."

Lin Qing didn't care much about this, but now that the old concubine in the palace is seriously ill, King Yu has accepted two side concubines one after another in just a few months after his wedding. This...

"Is this the Queen's Empress that Princess Yu personally begged for?"

Shen Jiao shook her head, "That's not clear. When I went to Zhongcui Palace to look for Yu'er, I heard the fifth princess mention it. My aunt said that the eldest girl of the Jia family took advantage of us..."

Speaking of "we", Shenjiao couldn't help but blushed.

"Uh..., we quietly sent it to Prince Yu's Mansion when we got married." Shen Jiao's voice became lower and lower, until the end he couldn't hear the words clearly unless he listened carefully.

Lin Qing looked at Shenjiao's reaction a little funny, but because he was always winking, he just coughed a few times, and then asked calmly, "Quietly?"

Shen Jiao nodded, "That's what my aunt said."

Lin Qing was silent, and Shen Jiao was also silent.

Although the two of them didn't say it out loud, they both knew in their hearts that this Jia Yuanchun was most likely the helper Princess Yu sought to suppress Concubine Zhou's side.

However, it's a pity.

Although the title of prince and side concubine is not considered an insult to her, the embarrassment is embarrassing because she entered the door "quietly"!It's like a concubine passing through the door, not only unknown.

However, Jia Yuanchun was born as a daughter-in-law of the Duke's Mansion, but she was equipped with such an unappreciable way of entering the door.

Gee...

The more Lin Qing thought about it, the more she felt that Princess Yu was scheming.

Obviously needing help from other people, but acting like a slut everywhere, not even giving them a proper door-to-door ceremony, which shows his narrow-mindedness and even short-sightedness.

His Royal Highness Yu Wang is also unlucky. They all say that marrying a wife and marrying a virtuous man means that husband and wife are of the same mind. Now it seems that the house may be in trouble...

Royal Palace.

When the fifth princess heard that Daiyu was about to leave the palace and go home, she was extremely sad.A few days before Daiyu left the palace, she acted like a baby to Zhang Jieyu and insisted on staying with Daiyu for a few days.Zhang Jieyu was troubled by her, and Concubine Zhen also needed someone to take care of her, so she was out of sight and out of mind, and allowed her to stay in Zhongcui Palace for a few days.

Concubine Kang's face is cold and her heart is warm. As long as her quietness is not disturbed, she is still very tolerant towards the juniors.

Therefore, the fifth princess really ate and lived with Daiyu a few days before she left the palace.

"Wu'er, you're going back, I'm bored, who can I find to relieve my boredom?" Fifth Princess pulled Daiyu and said with a sad face.

Daiyu was also very reluctant to see her miserable appearance of "the heart of mourning is greater than death", but she did miss her father and uncle very much. Comparing the two, she still wanted to go home more.

"Yi'er, don't be sad, even if I go home, I'm still in the capital. When my aunt enters the palace, I will accompany her."

The fifth princess is a lively and enthusiastic girl who doesn't like restraint and yearns for freedom. This is also an important reason why she and Daiyu have such a heart-to-heart relationship. Although their identities are different, their souls have a very high degree of compatibility in certain aspects .

However, although the imperial palace is the home of the fifth princess, it is not Daiyu's home. No matter how good the relationship between the two is, they will eventually "return to their own homes".

Before leaving the palace, Concubine Kang specially called Daiyu.

"You've been with me for a while, and I don't have anything good to give you before you leave. There are only some rare copies of ancient books, and long-lost piano scores and chess scores here. Let's just count it as a little gift."

Daiyu hastily declined, "It's a great kindness to be taken care of by my mother for several days, and to be named by my mother, how dare I accept such a precious gift."

Concubine Kang waved her hand, "I've never loved the stuff of literati and inkmen, and these things are just ashes for me, and they can be given to you to give full play to their value."

Daiyu still wanted to be polite, but Nanny Li came out to smooth things over, and helped Daiyu up from the ground with a smile, "Master, don't refuse, this is the empress's wish, so you can accept it."

Daiyu knew that Nanny Li was Concubine Kang's confidant, now that she heard her talk, she accepted it.

This was only given by Concubine Kang alone. In addition, Concubine Kang had prepared many other rewards, but these latter rewards were rewarded in accordance with the rules and regulations.

Of course, Concubine Xian also gave a lot of rewards. The queen has always been a good person, so it was a good idea to reward the county head who had never met face to face.

As the biggest leader of the imperial palace, Xia Xu treated Daiyu well. He rewarded more than the three of them combined, the queen, concubine Xian, and concubine Kang. Presumably it was to reward Lin Ruhai for his ability in handling affairs in the south of the Yangtze River.

On the day of returning home, the procession was huge and mighty. People who didn't know why saw rows of big boxes following them along the way. At first they thought it was another young lady who was getting married.

It can be said to give enough face.

Daiyu happened to return home just in time for the year, and the family was reunited in a rare way. Because Lin's mansion had a mistress, the arrangement inside and out was much more elaborate and proper, and the flavor of the year was much stronger than before.

During Daiyu's years in the palace, the imperial hospital threw all kinds of rare and precious medicinal materials on her as if they didn't want money. Xianfei also cared for her very much. Blessed by the aura of the emperor in the palace, her body is much better than when she first entered the palace. Although she is still inseparable from the medicine, her state of mind is completely different from before.

The specific manifestation is that the original "like frowning but not frowning, smoldering eyebrows, and affectionate eyes that seem to be happy but not happy" has disappeared. Today, Daiyu has sparse eyebrows, piercing eyes, ruddy and smooth forehead, calm temperament, and graceful manners. , Properly rich and powerful face.

cough cough...

It's far away, in short, the temperament has changed greatly with the change of mood.

Lin Qing was only slightly surprised by Daiyu's change. After all, he had seen Daiyu once during the last Chinese New Year, but Lin Ruhai, who hadn't seen his own daughter for two years, was really taken aback!

Although it is the same face, the mental outlook displayed is quite different. Although Daiyu's face can still be seen to be sick, it seems that she is more energetic than before.

Seeing that her daughter was in such a good state of mind, Lin Ruhai deeply felt that he was wise when he made the decision at the beginning, and that he did not work hard for the emperor in vain...

After the Chinese New Year, Lin Ruhai was supposed to go back to Jiangnan, but because February 12th was Daiyu's [-]th birthday, he specially asked the emperor to wait until after Daiyu's birthday before leaving.

Out of some considerations, Xia Xu readily agreed.

Lin Ruhai then stayed in the capital for a few more months, during which Jia's mother suddenly became seriously ill, and Lin Ruhai took Daiyu to visit Jia's mansion several times.

The time will soon be the twelfth of February, and it was originally planned to be a big event, but Princess Zhen's condition is getting worse day by day, so it's not easy to make a big splash, so I just held a family banquet.

However, the participation of the fifth princess added a lot of glory to Daiyu's birthday banquet. After all, the minister's daughter didn't have a full tenth birthday, so it was really honorable to have the princess present in person.

After Daiyu's birthday was over, Lin Ruhai didn't dare to delay for a moment, and immediately set off for Jiangnan.

At the end of February, Concubine Zhen died of illness.
