[Red Chamber] I am Lin Daiyu and her uncle

Concubine Kang was leaning on the grand teacher's chair on the steps at the entrance of the hall, wearing a pink and delicate dress, with a lazy demeanor, dark and bright eyes, quite different from her usual upright and serious appearance.

At this time, the queen had stepped into the Zhongcui Palace with firm steps. She was a little startled when she saw Concubine Kang dressed up like this at the door, but she immediately recovered and came to the door of the main hall with her head held high and her chest held high.

Although the queen was standing at the bottom of the steps, she was barefooted and dressed in plain robes, without any makeup, but her aura was not weakened at all. She raised her head slightly to look at Concubine Kang sitting on the steps, her demeanor of the mother of the country remained the same.

But Concubine Kang obviously didn't like her. Seeing that she was still putting on airs in front of her when she was about to die, she couldn't help but sneered, "Empress, since you are asking for help, please be sincere. After all, no one's things are blown by the wind." of."

The queen took a deep breath, "What do you want."

Concubine Kang leaned on the chair, propped her head on her right hand, and stretched out her left hand to look carefully. The raised veins on the back of her hand were in stark contrast to the fresh red Koudan, reminding Concubine Kang of the passing of time.

Concubine Kang didn't even look at the queen, she just lowered her head to concentrate on admiring the bright color on her nails, she lightly parted her red lips, and said in a contemptuous tone: "Sister, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Helping my sister get something and staining it on the treasure, wouldn't it be a waste of my hard work to start planning and preparing before dawn?"

After finishing speaking, he sat up and looked at the empress with a cold and reserved face, with a hint of excitement and madness in his eyes.

"When it comes to treasures, I have a lot of them. But money can't buy me happiness. If I'm in a bad mood, even if it's priceless, I will sweep it into the trash without hesitation."

The queen closed her eyes resignedly, "What do you think of me?"

Concubine Kang laughed loudly: "It's not that good, wait until the Kou Dan on my nails is dry before talking about other things."

The queen smiled wryly in her heart, how could she have forgotten that, in terms of capriciousness, even His Majesty doesn't pay attention to that one.

No matter, no matter...

Concubine Kang Shi Shiran sat on a high place, looking down at the queen condescendingly, her sharp eyes wandered inch by inch, as if evaluating a dispensable object, rather than a living person.

The queen didn't see the slightest embarrassment, instead she straightened her back and stretched her neck even further, allowing her to look at her.She is the queen, the mother of a country, and the most honorable woman in the empire!She must not, and will not show timidity in front of a humble concubine.

Concubine Kang hooked the corners of her lips ironically, and said slowly, "Sister, we sisters haven't been close for many years. When I saw you today, my sister is much older. My sister has seen the white hair on her head from such a distance. .”

Without waiting for the queen to respond, Concubine Kang said to herself again: "That's right, my sister is going to be a grandmother now, can she not grow old? I just don't know..." Concubine Kang stopped in time, and then chuckled.

Empress Qi's chest heaved unceasingly, her willow eyebrows stood on end, she pointed at Concubine Kang who was above her and shouted angrily, "Concubine Kang! Don't bully me too much."

Concubine Kang ignored her, waved her hand, and a person was let in outside the palace gate. The person who came was Xin'er, the queen's close maid.

Xin'er hurriedly leaned into the Queen's ear: "Your Majesty, the people outside the palace have returned, and Wen Liangyan has indeed entered the tomb of Princess Nanping with other funeral objects."

The queen frowned and looked at her, "Is the situation true?"

Xin'er stomped her feet anxiously, "There is nothing wrong! Eunuch Jiang, who is next to His Majesty, told me this personally."

Seeing that the queen was still hesitant, Xin'er didn't care about anything else, so she hurriedly told the queen about the news from Princess Jincheng's mansion, "Your Majesty, Imperial Physician He has given an ultimatum. With one dead body and two lives, without Wen Liangyan to continue his life, he can delay it until noon at most, and by then...it will be too late!"

The queen's body softened immediately when she heard the words, and Kui Xin'er had sharp eyes and hands to support her quickly.Supported by Xin'er, the queen looked at the sky tremblingly, seeing the sun was shining brightly, her face was like gold paper, her teeth chattered involuntarily, and her facial muscles twitched endlessly.

Where has Xin'er seen such an out-of-control queen?Immediately frightened, she hugged the queen and shouted for the imperial doctor, but the queen broke free from Xin'er's bondage, and fell to her knees with a plop in front of Concubine Kang.

Concubine Kang raised her eyebrows slightly, her eyes were full of interest.

The queen knelt down on both knees, and bowed three times and kowtowed respectfully to Concubine Kang.After the ceremony, the queen lay down on the ground crying and begging: "I beg you, save Fu'er! The child is innocent. If you have any anger or resentment, you can come to me. If you save my child's life today, I will be happy with you from now on." I will serve you as a slave!"

Concubine Kang had been waiting for this day for more than 20 years, her hands and feet were trembling with excitement, and her eyes were even brighter and frightening. Seeing this, Nanny Li hurriedly held Concubine Kang down.Concubine Kang also knew that she had lost her composure, so she patted Nanny Li's hand as a sign of comfort.

Concubine Kang picked up the teacup in hand, took a few sips in a leisurely manner, and only after she calmed down, she said leisurely: "It's easy for me to save your daughter. But, you have to answer my question first."

The queen raised her teary face, and nodded hastily when she heard the words, "Say it! If I know, I will tell you!"

Concubine Kang put down the teacup in her hand, with a gloomy expression, and asked the question that has haunted her for more than 20 years, "My child, did you move your hands?"

Although she already had the answer in her heart, she still wanted to see her admit it.

When the queen heard this, her facial expression stopped abruptly, her eyes were momentarily blank, and she subconsciously wanted to deny it, but Concubine Kang obviously didn't give her this chance, and warned her: "Think carefully, if you lie to me, Jin Chengcheng will have to kill you!" Two dead bodies. In this way, it can be regarded as revenge for my child."

The queen lowered her head and thought for a moment, then raised her head, stared at Concubine Kang who was sitting on top, and asked her: "Will you save Fu'er as long as I tell you?"

Concubine Kang nodded, "Yes."

"Okay!" The queen sneered, "Qin Huanian, Empress Dowager Wenhuan was truly a dragon and a phoenix and a hero among women during her lifetime! She speaks her words and does her best, and it's hard to catch up! Since you are the only descendant of her old man, you will naturally get her true biography. I will respect you once and not teach you to swear to prove it."

Concubine Kang didn't speak, just quietly watched her perform.

"Can you talk now?"

The queen knelt down on both knees, and hearing the words, her back became straighter and straighter, and the curve of her back was almost at a right angle to the ground. Looking at Concubine Kang on the high seat, she told the story of the past.

"At that time, I just gave birth to Fu'er, because it was His Majesty's first child, and His Majesty especially doted on Fu'er, which made me feel relieved. But I also understand that only one princess is not enough. Empress, if you want to gain a firm foothold in the imperial palace, the eldest son must come out of my womb. Although Your Majesty favored other concubines at that time, his heart was with me. If things go smoothly, I must be the one who gave birth to the eldest son !"

Speaking of this, the queen paused for a while, her empty eyes lit up, and her expression relaxed for a moment.

"But the Empress Dowager gave you to Your Majesty, and that woman also appeared..." The Queen's expression gradually became bitter, "Gradually, his eyes no longer stayed on me... And you, because of being with her It was close, and I got His Majesty's extra favor, and even became pregnant with a dragon seed in one fell swoop. Fortunately, within a few days, I was also diagnosed as pregnant, but the month is one month younger than yours."

"That woman is destined to enter the palace." The queen smiled wryly and shook her head, feeling helpless against fate, "If you give birth to the eldest son, you will become allies after she enters the palace, where is my habitat in the harem? Where? So..." The queen sighed, "The child in your womb must die."

Hearing this, Concubine Kang couldn't help asking: "Haven't you ever thought that what I'm carrying is a daughter? Isn't it a prince at all?"

The queen gave her a contemptuous look: "What I want is to be safe! I would rather kill you than let me go, even if I am pregnant with a daughter, I will kill you, because I want to see you cry and see you hurt!"

Concubine Kang understood everything at this time, and knew that the queen was a hopeless snake and scorpion.

If so, then no wonder she.

"Mother Li, see off the guests!" After speaking, he turned around and was about to enter the hall.

Seeing that Concubine Kang was going to repent, the queen immediately became anxious, "Concubine Kang! You have promised me that no matter what my answer is, you will save my daughter! Now that you are going back on your word, aren't you afraid of insulting the reputation of Empress Dowager Wenhuan?! "

Concubine Kang sneered, "Open your dog eyes and see! What kind of clothes am I wearing today?"

"When my child was not born, I often wore this dress. Since my child died, I wore mourning clothes every day, and I stopped wearing brightly colored clothes. Now I wear this dress again to let my child Let the spirit in the sky see how her mother avenged her!"

The queen suddenly fell to the ground and looked at Concubine Kang in disbelief: "You never planned to help me from the beginning?"

Concubine Kang snorted coldly, and said: "You really lost your head in a hurry, and you actually begged me? I won't beat you up for the old face that came to your door! You are also a mother, and now you have realized the pain of losing my daughter back then. Heartache?"

"As for my aunt, of course she is a one-in-a-million hero! I don't think I can compare to her, she's just an ordinary woman, so don't put any manly responsibility on me, I don't like this at all! "

The queen stood up slowly, wiped the tears off her face, stared straight at Concubine Kang, and said word by word: "You really won't give it!"

"No!" Concubine Kang squinted at her, and said sarcastically, "What's the matter? If I don't give it, can you still grab it?"

The queen wiped away the tears from her face and nodded, "That's right. I'll grab it today!"

After saying that, she gave Xin'er a wink, Xin'er understood, and quickly took out a firework signal stick from her underwear and set it off in the sky. The eunuchs who were ambushing outside the Zhongcui Palace immediately rushed into the Zhongcui Palace when they saw the signal , Seeing that he still has to break into the palace.

However, Concubine Kang had expected this trick earlier, grabbed the teacup on the table and threw it to the ground, shouting sharply: "It's not coming out yet!!"

Sooner or later, a dozen or so maids with big arms and round waists and huge bodies ran out in unison, protecting Concubine Kang behind her, and blocked the entrance of the hall by the way.

These are the last batch of female sumo wrestlers selected to enter the palace when the Queen Mother Wenhuan was still alive. After the death of the Queen Mother Wenhuan, the sumo hall in the palace was closed, and the female sumo wrestlers inside were willing to go home Go home, those who don't want to go home stay in the palace.

At the beginning, these people were looked down upon and bullied by the court ladies and eunuchs because of their size and appetite. Some of them were even starved to death. The rest of the sumo wrestlers knelt outside Zhongcui Palace and begged Concubine Kang to take them in. .

Concubine Kang didn't care. Although Zhongcui Palace wasn't the most magnificent palace, it was big enough and it took a lot of effort to clean it.Anyway, she has the money to support these people, so she takes them one by one in her palace as rough envoys. No one will bully them, but these people do all the hard work. , after all, it is much more useful to use than eunuchs.

Later, Concubine Kang suffered from the pain of losing her daughter, and she stayed behind closed doors ever since.Gradually, over the past 20 years, batches of newcomers have changed in the palace, and they have forgotten that there are still female sumo wrestlers in the palace.

Now that these female sumo wrestlers have reappeared, the dozens of little eunuchs who were about to rush into the palace were dumbfounded. After all, although these sumo wrestlers are over [-] years old, their strength and size are still not to be underestimated.A dozen or so stood there side by side, like a mountain, and the little eunuchs in the town who were like bean sprouts dared not move an inch.

The situation was at a stalemate for a while, and just as the queen was about to force her way in, news came from outside the palace:

Princess Jin Cheng died.
