[Red Chamber] I am Lin Daiyu and her uncle

Royal Palace.

Shenjiao brought Daiyu to live in the palace a few days in advance, and Concubine Xian specially prepared a small courtyard for her aunt and nephew. Of course, the two went to visit Concubine Kang first when they entered the palace as usual. , I just came to Concubine Xian.

It was rare for Concubine Kang to be happy when she saw that the only girl she had ever worried about was so sensible, and when she was happy, she waved her hand and rewarded many things.

As the only descendant of Empress Dowager Wenhuan, Concubine Kang inherited almost all the treasures she had during her lifetime. Everything she rewarded was rare treasures in the world. Rao Shenjiao grew up in the palace and saw countless rare treasures. The strange treasure, facing Concubine Kang's reward, couldn't help being dazzled.

Because it was so precious, Shenjiao specially kept the things that Concubine Kang bestowed to Daiyu every time, and put them into Daiyu's dowry.

Xianfu Palace.

The aunt and nephew haven't seen each other for a long time, so they have a lot of personal things to say. It's not appropriate for Daiyu, a girl who hasn't left the court, to listen. By chance, the fifth princess got the news, and sent someone to Xianfu Palace to invite Daiyu to come over. Shenjiao He ordered Qin'er to send it in person.

After the people left, Concubine Xian said to Shen Jiao with emotion: "That child is really a big girl. I saw her a little while ago, but now she is very slim." After finishing speaking, she suddenly asked: " The child should be fifteen, right?"

"It's too early! I will only have my 13th birthday at the beginning of next year."

Concubine Xian laughed and said: "Look at my memory, it gets worse as I get older."

Shen Jiao leaned over, put her arms around Xianfei's waist, and acted coquettishly and foolishly, "You are not old, who in the whole palace will not boast about your beauty and beauty when they see you? You look more fresh and beautiful than that twenty-eight girl, I Ah, but I often regret that I am not more like you, or else I am a proper peerless beauty."

These words are not entirely ridicule. Concubine Xian is middle-aged, in addition to having a good foundation, she also took good care of her skin in the later stage. Her skin is fair and delicate. Because she only gave birth to a child, Xia Zhen, her figure is as slim and handsome as ever. It is a bit exaggerated to say that girls are twenty-eight, but there are still some in their twenties.

Concubine Xian was praised by her niece, she smiled softly, and tapped her forehead with her index finger, "No matter how old or young, they are all married as wives, and they don't talk so much."

"I saw that Tong An's face was much rosier than that of Shi Yuan, but he was still taking medicine?"

"Eat, morning and evening." Shen Jiao sat up straight.

"She's getting better soon."

"How is Zhen'er's illness? Has it improved?" Shen Jiao asked softly.

"It's strange to say." Concubine Xian frowned and thought deeply: "A while ago he couldn't eat, and he took medicine as a meal every day, and he didn't feel hungry. Just these few days, not only did he know that he was hungry, but he also had the strength to get out of bed Walking around. It was really strange that I was so sick for no reason at the beginning, but suddenly improved now."

Shenjiao comforted her, "It doesn't matter if it's strange or not, as long as Brother Zhen's health improves, it will be a happy event!"

Concubine Xian smiled, "That's true."

After talking for a long time, both of them were a little thirsty, so they ordered the maid to bring over two cups of tea to moisten their throats, and then Concubine Xian spoke again: "You and Ruqing have been married for almost a year, why haven't you made any progress?"

Shen Jiao blushed, "It's not been a year yet, what's the rush?"

Concubine Xian sighed: "You were married late in the first place, but don't delay your childbearing. Women, the best time to bear children is only a few years, so you have to grasp it carefully."

"I'll save it." Shen Jiao nodded shyly.

Changchun Palace.

Although Zhang Jieyu didn't get along with the concubine Xian, she was kind to Daiyu. She politely asked her about her family situation, and then asked the maid to take her to the courtyard of the fifth princess. It is not as low-key and luxurious as Xianfu Palace, but it is also elegant. It can be seen that all the facilities are furnished with care.

The fifth princess will soon reach her birthday at the end of the year, and she is currently choosing the clothes and jewelry for the Double Ninth Dinner.

"Wu'er, what do you think of this one?" The fifth princess casually picked up one for comparison.

"Okay." Daiyu nodded in approval.

"What about this one?"

"good."

"How about this water green one? And this phoenix hairpin?"

"It's all good. Your skin is fair and tall, which suits you very well."

"I think so too." The fifth princess grinned, "We must suppress Xia Yan's limelight then, let's see how proud her mother and concubine are!"

Daiyu knew that the fifth princess and the fourth princess had always been at odds, so she tactfully didn't say any more.

"Oh!" The fifth princess sighed inexplicably.

"What's the matter? You're fine, why are you frowning?"

The fifth princess said sullenly: "All members of the royal family will be present at the Double Ninth Dinner, and it's really bad luck to see Xia Yan again then!"

"Don't talk like that." Daiyu was a little anxious for her, "After all, you and the Fourth Princess are biological sisters. If this word spreads outside, it will inevitably be used by someone with a heart."

"Use? Who cares about her! The emperor has so many things to do every day, and the fifth elder brother is not in good health now, and the whole palace revolves around him. Doesn't her mother and concubine always use her illness to win the emperor's pity? Now see if it works."

There is a reason why Xia Yi looks down on Xia Zhen's mother and daughter so much. She has been close to Concubine Xian since she was a child, and she knows how much Xia Zhen has suffered because of her health since she was a child. As a mother, Concubine Xian will only compare Xia Zhen was in a lot of pain.

There is a period of time every year when the concubine Xian, who used to be amiable and smiling like a flower, suddenly becomes haggard, and there is no smile on her pretty face. It is like this every year. With a smile.

As for Concubine Gu, Xia Yan had a serious illness when she was a few years old, and her father loved the house and Wu. During that time, she went to see her a few more times, and she tasted the sweetness.Since then, Xia Yan, who was in better health than her, fell ill every once in a while, and the frequency of illness was higher than that of Xia Zhen. His father also ate this kind of food. Every time she fell ill, no matter what. Take the time to visit her.

And she was promoted from Ronghua to concubine as she wished, and anyone who saw it would not boast of a good plan, even she felt strange about it, and her father never doubted it once.

In the beginning, she felt sorry for Xia Yan, thinking that it was pitiful for her to be tortured by her biological mother, so she often took the initiative to play with her.

But, there is only a few days difference between the two of them when they were born, and the servants saw that Xia Yan was more favored than her, and that her mother and concubine had a higher status than her mother and concubine, so whenever there was something good, Xia Li would choose first, She can only pick what is left of her.

Once or twice is enough, but it's unbearable to go back and forth like this.

Zhang Jieyu was born in a general family, and she was spoiled by her family since she was a child. She has always been hot-tempered, but now others are bullying her, can she bear it?Immediately, he dragged her to Gu Concubine's palace to argue, and even called the person in charge of the Shangyi Bureau to confront them face to face, and asked them how to do things, why are the princesses treating each other more favorably than others!

The Shangyi Bureau was already at a loss, so he faltered and tried to get away with it, but Zhang Jieyu didn't accept her tricks!She must give an explanation, otherwise this matter will never end. Just when several people were arguing, Xia Xu 'coincidentally' came to visit Xia Yan who was ill again.

Xia Yi watched Xia Yan throw herself into Xia Xu's arms with her own eyes, pear blossoms were crying with rain, she was so pitiful, and she didn't speak, anyway, it was just how wronged she was, and before Concubine Gu could speak, the maid beside Concubine Gu was ahead of everyone else In one step, what happened just now was completely wiped out.

Of course, they deliberately shifted the responsibility to the Shangyi Bureau, but they knew nothing about it innocently, and blamed the subordinates for stepping up and down.

As expected, Xia Xu unsurprisingly stood on the side of Concubine Gu's mother and daughter. He didn't bother to delve into the people who were not close to his heart, so he reprimanded Concubine Gu and Zhang Jieyu each, and then focused on coaxing the weeping Xia Yan He didn't even look at Xia Yi, which caused great harm to Xia Yi's heart at a young age.

From then on, she regarded Xia Yan as her deadly enemy.

Pooh!I still feel sorry for her being tortured, so it turns out that she is enjoying it.

After Zhang Jieyu went back, she was aggrieved, and she couldn't let it go for a long time. I don't know who gave her advice, so she specially taught Xia Yi to go to the Xianfu Palace to walk more, and she herself felt more present with Concubine Zhen.Fortunately, Concubine Xian is a kind and amiable elder. Xia Xu loves to stay with children who are full of energy because of her poor health, so Xia Yi had a very happy time in Xianfu Palace, because she and Zhang Jieyu each got married. With the two backing mountains in the palace, the people below did not dare to step up or step down on her head.

Looking back on the past, Xia Yi couldn't help cherishing Daiyu even more. He took her hand and said with deep emotion, "You are so kind, you are real and unpretentious, and you won't learn what that screwman does in front of you and behind you."

Daiyu didn't know the grievances and grievances between her and the fifth princess, she only thought that she said it casually, but it was always pleasant to be praised, so she held her hand instead, "Actually, you are also very good."

After all, the two smiled at each other.

September [-]th, night, Chrysanthemum Garden.

All the close branches of the royal family came, and the number of high-ranking officials and wives invited was only so many, so they knew each other, and the atmosphere was once very harmonious.

The garden is brightly lit, and the blooming chrysanthemums fill the garden with gold against the candlelight. The moonlight is bright, the stars are twinkling, and the breeze is blowing, bringing a faint fragrance of chrysanthemums, lingering in everyone's hearts.

This time, not only the Queen and Concubine Xian attended the banquet, but Concubine Kang, who had never shown her face, also came out and sat next to Concubine Xian.

There are only three concubines and above, and most of the other concubines sit at the bottom, not with the emperor.

Others sat in strict order of rank, such as the fifth princess, Shen Jiao, and Daiyu, because they were of different ranks, they did not sit together.

Because the fifth princess is about the same age as the fourth princess, every time there is any banquet, they always sit together. Because the fourth princess is always weak and sick, she didn't go to school with them at the beginning, so this is the first time Daiyu sees her The four princesses are true.

Uh, how should I put it, she is indeed a beauty, but she is too thin, with a pointed face and the shape of a weak willow. Compared with the five princesses who are fit and healthy, it really makes people feel a little pity for no reason. No wonder the Holy Majesty I will love her more, she is indeed weak.

Halfway through the banquet, the fifth princess became a little impatient, and she just ate and drank, what's the point?

So he sneaked out, and before leaving, he did not forget to ask Ying'er beside him to send a message to Daiyu, telling her to wait for him in the old place.

But who would have thought that after she left, Daiyu was called away by Mrs. Zhou's people, so Ying'er was left in vain.
