Getaway in the Red House

Chapter 25 Exploration of the Palace (Modified)

Surrounded by many well-dressed ladies and maids, several gorgeous carriages were walking on the bustling streets of the capital.Seeing this scene, the passers-by on the road couldn't help asking the people around them curiously: "Which family is this female family member traveling, how can she be so grand?"

The person who was asked said with contempt: "I don't know this, I really don't know that you came out of that remote corner, and you are so ignorant! These carriages clearly have the Jia Mansion's signboard, which means they belong to the Jia Mansion. The female relatives are going out to socialize."

The pedestrian looked blank: "Jia's Mansion? Is this Jia's Mansion famous? I'm from another place. When I first arrived in the capital, I really don't understand the situation. Please, brother, explain a few things to me."

"Okay, let me tell you something. This Jia's mansion is the natal family of today's virtuous and noble concubines. People in the world use a common saying to describe his family's wealth: "Jia is not fake, white jade is the king's horse. "Listen, do you know that the Jia family is very powerful? This is not the most unusual thing. I heard that there is a young son born with jade in his family. He is the most intelligent. It’s the most loving thing to keep by your side. Even the girls in this mansion are all like flowers and jade, like gods. Tell me, why did this good thing fall into their family? It’s really enviable!"

The passerby suddenly realized: "So that's the case. Thank you, brother, for clearing up my doubts. Let's leave now!"

Jia's carriage drove all the way, and similar situations happened from time to time, which made Baochai, who was sitting in a green-covered Zhuying eight-treasure carriage, very proud.

Ever since seeing the grand scene of Yuan Chun's visiting relatives that day, and feeling the royal majesty exuding from Yuan Chun, Baochai has become even more fanatical about power.She always thought that if she hadn't been constrained by her status as a business woman, and relying on her appearance and talent, she would be even better than Yuan Chun.

So Baochai is really unwilling to marry Baoyu who is still Baiding, and she still wants to make a final fight.When paying respects to the old lady early this morning, she saw the women who came to invite the girls from Jia's mansion to enjoy the flowers at the Beijing Prince's Mansion, and she knew that her chance had come.

Baochai quietly begged her aunt to tell the old lady to promise that she would go to the palace with Yingchun and the others.I thought that the old lady would push back and prevent her from stealing the limelight from the sisters, but the old lady readily agreed.This made Baochai ecstatic, he finally had a chance to go straight to Qingyun!For this reason, Baochai secretly made up her mind that she must leave a good impression on the princesses and concubines when she arrives at the palace. If she can catch their eyes, she may not have a chance to marry into the palace.

Baochai had heard from Baoyu many times that the prince of Beijing was the most considerate, with all his talents and appearance, his romantic and ups and downs.Now besides the main concubine, he only has one side concubine. I heard that the tongfei intends to choose another side concubine for him. As long as she is talented and good looking, she doesn't need to worry too much about other things.So Baochai is very confident that if the concubine sees her, she will definitely be a side concubine.

Baochai, full of confidence, listened to the envious words of the passers-by, and felt extremely happy.She took a look at the car with her, but she kept leaning against the wall of the car, closed her eyes and meditated. Daiyu said, "Sister Lin is better? This old lady is really good. She knows that you are not feeling well, so she should help you resign." It's all about it. When you arrive at the palace like this, I'm afraid you won't be able to support it for a long time. Don't worry, my sister will help you when the time comes, and you can just stay by her side."

Daiyu was very uncomfortable at this time, and didn't have the heart to think about Baochai's motives, so she slightly opened her eyes and said wearily: "Then I will leave everything to Sister Bao, and I thank you in advance." After finishing speaking, I closed my eyes again.

Baochai looked at Daiyu's clothes without any trace, and saw that she was wearing a light blue plain skirt and jacket, covered with a jade-colored smoked radish and silver silk gauze shirt.On the black and smooth black hair, only a silver-red coral hairpin was inserted, which added a touch of brilliance to Daiyu's plainness.

Even if Baochai doesn't want to admit it anymore, she has to say that Daiyu is very suitable for such a simple and elegant dress, which makes her exude a unique charm from the inside to the outside, which makes people involuntarily attracted to her. The ethereal temperament made Baochai even more jealous.Although his appearance is slightly stronger than Daiyu, but his temperament is far inferior to her.

Looking down at the luxurious rose red dress embroidered with the pattern of butterflies and flowers on her body, and quietly touching the pair of gold bird hairpins inlaid with lace and gemstones on her head, Baochai smiled in satisfaction. Still the best for a fancy dress.Thinking of Auntie's surprised look today, Baochai showed a sneer on her face.If it wasn't for catering to my aunt, why would she put on her fancy clothes and dress up like a girl all day long? Just bear with it, and wait until the day when she is prosperous, she can live according to her heart.

In this way, in Baochai's fantasies all the way, the sedan chair of Jia's mansion finally arrived at the Beijing Prince's Mansion, and the car drove in through the opened corner door.When the car stopped at the second gate, the maids and women who were serving came over one after another to help their master get off the car.

Daiyu waited until Baochai got out of the car, then supported Xueyan and a woman's hand, and walked down as if nothing had happened.On the way to the inner house, Xueyan carefully put most of the girl's weight on himself, and helped the girl to walk slowly.

Yingchun and Xichun were impatient with the bluffing Xiangyun all the way, and didn't want to go with the deep-minded Baochai, so they slowed down to talk with Daiyu, and looked at the scenery in the palace.

The sisters came down to the Henian Hall where the concubine lived under the guidance of the servants of the palace. As soon as they entered the door, they were startled by the people in the room.I saw several beautiful girls in luxurious clothes and extraordinary temperament were chatting and laughing with the old concubine, while the princess sat on the side with a smile, making jokes from time to time.

Seeing someone coming in, everyone in the room immediately turned their attention.Yingchun wanted to lead the sisters to greet the concubine, but unexpectedly Baochai seemed to have inadvertently blocked her behind, and bowed down first: "Baochai and the sisters are to the concubine. My concubine pays her respects."

"Hey, help me up quickly. My old lady is dazzled by the sight of all these beautiful girls. The girls from the Jia Mansion really live up to their reputation, Zhilan, you are outmatched by these girls."

When the princess heard her mother-in-law's teasing, she pretended to be sad and said: "It can be seen that my mother likes the new and dislikes the old. After seeing these beauties who look like flowers and bones, she threw the daughter-in-law to the sky. The daughter-in-law is so sad."

Hearing Wang Hao's seemingly sad words, everyone in the room burst into laughter.The concubine asked the girls in Jia's mansion to look them up one by one. After hearing that Baochai's surname was Xue, she seemed to think of something, a trace of disgust flashed in her eyes, and she smiled and let go of Baochai's hand.And Baochai was still complacent because of the concubine's praise, but ignored the abnormality of the concubine just now.

When Daiyu stepped forward, the concubine's eyes lit up, and she pulled Daiyu to chatter.Daiyu answered the concubine's question with a smile, but she really wanted to sit down and rest for a while, she couldn't hold it anymore.

Fortunately, when Daiyu was about to lose her composure, the concubine let her go and let her go back to rest.And Tanchun took Daiyu's place, and was dragged and chatted for a long time by the concubine.After passing through Jia's mother's house, Tanchun learned how to be a housekeeper and director with Mrs. Wang, and he got used to this kind of entertainment scene a lot.Judging from the smile on Toffee's face, she was very satisfied with Tanchun's performance.

The Raoshizi Flower Appreciation Banquet held by the nobles is just a disguised gathering and chatting.When everyone gathered together and talked to the familiar boudoir friend for a while, it was time for a banquet.Those who can participate in the banquet are everyone's daughters, and they will not come here for the exquisite banquet like that small family.They all use this to seek a future for the family and for themselves.Therefore, above the banquet, it is naturally a good time to chat and connect with each other.

Because of her injuries and filial piety, Daiyu withdrew everyone's persuasion, treated each other with green tea, and chatted with everyone for a while, then sat back in her seat and chatted with Yingchun and the others in a low voice.Yingchun and Xichun knew that Daiyu was unwell, so they took good care of her and blocked many malicious people for her.

But Baochai, who kept saying that she wanted to take care of Daiyu, followed Xiangyun and Tanchun to stand beside the concubine and princess flattering her, completely forgetting about Daiyu.

The banquet ended with all the thoughts, and the concubine asked the daughter-in-law to accompany the daughters to the garden to have a drink and relax, but she went back to rest.

The garden of the Wangfu is extremely beautiful, and there is no lack of elegance in the atmosphere, with unique ingenuity everywhere, which is extremely novel and interesting.Even the sisters of the Jia family, who are accustomed to seeing the beauty of the Grand View Garden, praised it.The girls didn't have their elders by their side, and the princess was approachable, so after the princess said the word casual, they called for friends one by one, and went to the garden with them in twos and threes.

As for the princess, because she had already memorized the scenery of the garden by heart, she went to the flower hall to drink tea, and watched the maids laughing and playing around, feeling very comfortable.

Daiyu saw that Yingchun and Xichun seemed to be very interested in the garden, so she smiled and told them to go and play, and she just waited for them in the gazebo by the lake, besides, there were snow geese beside her, so if something happened, it would be natural Let the snow geese go looking for them.

After the two left, Daiyu led the snow geese towards the gazebo by the lake.When I got there, I saw a little girl fanning the stove to boil water, preparing to make tea for the guests.Seeing Daiyu approaching, the little girl politely picked up a cup of tea and prepared to pass it to Daiyu.

When Jiang Jiang walked up to Daiyu, he didn't notice a pool of water stains on the ground in front of him, so he stepped on it, but his foot slipped, and he threw himself towards Daiyu.Fortunately, the teacup in her hand was thrown aside in time, which saved Daiyu from the danger of being disfigured.

It's just that she could hide from this side, but couldn't hide from that side. Although Daiyu escaped the disfigurement, she threw her right on her face. As a result, her elbow hit the position of Daiyu's left shoulder hard, and Daiyu was in pain immediately. With a sound of "Oops", his eyes darkened and he passed out.

Xueyan was stunned by this lightning-like scene, and didn't react until the girl fainted on top of that girl.Immediately, she rushed forward to help the girl onto herself, crying, "Girl, wake up!"

When the princess received the news and rushed over, Daiyu just woke up leisurely.Declined by the concubine's kindness to ask a doctor to treat her, Daiyu asked for her farewell.The princess was also very guilty of Daiyu being injured in her palace, so she asked someone to find a few bottles of high-quality traumatic medicine, and prepared a generous gift to make amends, and sent the women to send Daiyu back to the mansion.

When returning to Jia's mansion, Mother Jia's inquiries were of course inevitable. Fortunately, Daiyu was able to go back to her Hanfang Pavilion to recuperate because of the woman from the palace who told the story for Daiyu.

Daiyu, who came back early, didn't know that her trip to the palace exposed herself to the eyes of caring people and brought her a lot of trouble.
