Against the Dream of Red Mansions: The Phoenix Comes to the World Lin Daiyu

Chapter 21 Entering the Palace for the First Time: Liuguang Palace, Calling Flower Banquet

The next few days in Chuxiu Palace were all about learning the rules, with nuns teaching how to behave, down to how to salute the empress dowager, empress dowager, empress, concubines, etc., how to walk in the palace, how to enter Meal rules, how to wear clothes and so on.It is also very complicated to say.Suddenly one day I saw You Nu Shi came to Chuxiu Palace and said a few words to Rong An, and Rong An told Lin Daiyu, you can go with this lady.

Lin Daiyu didn't have time to ask, so she was taken out of Chuxiu Palace by the female historian.Shi Xiangyun was terrified, took Ming Hanxiang's hand and asked, "Sister Lin did something wrong?"

Ming Hanxiang often walks around in the palace, so she is acquainted with the old faces in the palace, so she said with a smile: "It's okay, that female history belongs to the Ninth Princess, it must be His Highness Ninth Princess who misses Daiyu. "

Shi Xiangyun was slightly relieved.Ever since I went to Shanggong Bureau that day, Duke Zhen's daughter, Changying, was convicted and expelled back to the mansion. I heard that the old Duke was charged with "not educating his adopted daughter", and he was beaten five times by the Ministry of Criminal Justice!Although the Ministry of Punishment only gave a symbolic beating and didn't dare to use force, but the majesty of Duke Zhen Guo, who holds [-] soldiers, was actually spanked because of his daughter. This matter has become a laughing stock in the capital these days.The other beautiful women were fine, but Shi Xiangyun was timid, and since then he has been afraid of the rules in the palace, afraid that he will be beaten if he does something wrong.

Lin Daiyu was brought into the Liuguang Hall among the 36 halls of the harem by the female historian, which is the palace of the Nine Princesses.The whole palace is gold, which is the favorite color of the nine princesses. It is said that the nine princesses like gold the most. Long Live God hollowed out the decoration of the whole palace with gold, so no matter it is cloudy, rainy or snowy, the entire Liuguang Palace is shrouded in a layer of warm light. , like the setting sun.

As soon as Lin Daiyu entered the palace, she saw the nine princesses on the main hall happily washing their hands. When she saw Lin Daiyu coming in, she said happily: "Daiyu, come in quickly, the cook outside the palace specially sent by the Seventh Emperor is called Huaji, come wash your hands and prepare to eat."

After Lin Daiyu saw the ceremony, she was pulled up by the ninth princess to wash her hands. Lin Daiyu said: "It's been a long time since I haven't seen you, Your Highness, the princess still has such a good appetite."

Before the words were finished, a little palace lady came in from outside and reported: "The cook said that the beggar chicken was roasted just right, not burnt or tender, please go out and enjoy the princess."

Princess Jiu pulled Lin Daiyu up and walked outside.Lin Daiyu asked: "Princess, why is the chicken not on the table? Are you going out?"

"You don't understand this, do you? To eat beggar chicken, it must be eaten in the wild like beggars to be interesting, and as soon as it is dug out from the ground, you start to tear it with your hands and eat it. It has enough heat and freshness. If it is true The eating method of ladies like you: let the cook first dig out the beggar chicken from the ground, open the mud tire and lotus leaves, the aroma has long since dissipated, and then cut it with a silver knife and serve it up. How is the taste different from ordinary steamed chicken? the difference?"

Speaking of which, the two of them had already arrived at the open space in the back garden, the ladies of the court had already laid out the small scorpions on the ground, the bonfire in the open space had been burned out, and the cook was removing the remaining charcoal.

After the nine princesses and Lin Daiyu were seated, the cook dug up the soil layer, and an egg-shaped yellow mud tire was dug out.The cook tapped around with a small hammer carved in cast iron, and the loess slab was split open, and fresh lotus leaves were wrapped inside.After the lotus leaves are pulled away layer by layer, a strong aroma of grilled chicken, accompanied by a touch of lotus leaves, is fresh and tangy.At this time, the nine princesses had already started drooling.

The cook brought up the whole chicken wrapped in lotus leaves, then bowed and left.I saw that the nine princesses took apart the lotus leaves in a few strokes, and the yellow chicken was exposed.Princess Jiu tore off a chicken leg and handed it to Lin Daiyu. Lin Daiyu didn't give in, thanked her and took it with both hands, only holding it and looking at Princess Jiu.

Princess Jiu said: "What are you doing looking at me in a daze? Are you eating it? It will change the taste when it gets cold."

Lin Daiyufang took a small bite, and the fat and juicy chicken juice filled her mouth!The chicken is fresh and tender, the skin is crispy, and the aftertaste is endless.Lin Daiyu praised with a smile, the Ninth Princess has no time to care about other things at this time, just chewing and eating.

Lin Daiyu looked at the appearance of the nine princesses, and suddenly remembered the scene when she had a crab feast in Jia's mansion in the past, and she couldn't help being stunned.Lin Daiyu jumped when Princess Nine yelled.

"Seventh Brother! Well done, there are quite a few beggar chickens left for you!"

Lin Daiyu looked into the distance, the seventh prince Xuan Ming, who was dressed in a purple python robe with five dragons coming out of water, came from a distance with several palace servants.Lin Daiyu greeted her, but he just sat down without looking at her.

"Brother Qihuang, what's the wind today? He sent food and came to visit me in Liuguang Palace again. Don't waste so much effort, just want to look at some people?" Ninth Princess said, holding He sneaked a glance at Lin Daiyu.Unexpectedly, Lin Daiyu didn't realize it. It turned out that she was thinking of Shi Xiangyun's poor confinement in the palace recently. If she could come here with her to eat some delicious food today, it would definitely make her happy.

At this time Xuan Ming seemed to see that she had something on her mind, so she said, "Does Miss Lin have something on her mind?"

Lin Daiyu came back to her senses, and said slowly: "Reporting to Your Highness, this servant is only thinking of my sister Shi Xiangyun, she is usually the most lively person. When we were in Jia's mansion before, our sisters would often drink and compose poems in the courtyard. She She is the most naive, once drank too much wine and slept in a peony, which made it hard for us to find her."

The Ninth Princess was amused and giggled, and said: "This Miss Smith's temperament is very similar to mine. I don't know when we can meet again?"

Lin Daiyu said: "I also think that she is very similar to the princess. It is not difficult for the princess to see her now, she is in Chuxiu Palace today."

When the nine princesses heard this, they immediately sent someone to invite them.

Shi Xiangyun is innocent and innocent, although he was a little cautious when he first saw the royal family, but gradually he got to know him, and he was eating and playing with the nine princesses, especially happy, but here Xuanming and Lin Daiyu just sat silently.In the end, it was Xuan Ming who asked first: "I don't know if you can still get used to entering the palace these days?"

Lin Daiyu bowed and nodded, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highness, everything is fine."

But I heard Shi Xiangyun also said earnestly from the side: "Although the palace is good, I am afraid every day. The daughters of Duke Zhenguo's mansion will be punished, and those like me and sister Lin dare not exceed it every day. Be careful every day..."

The people who said it couldn't help laughing.Princess Jiu smiled and said: "Just like you, a little maid who just entered the palace will take it seriously, how can the dignified Lord Zhen Guo really make a mistake and get punished? It's not the old rule that Changying didn't want to be a show girl, but she couldn't hold back my court. ——She is an only daughter, and she must enter the palace when she reaches the age! So she changed the way to break the palace rules and was fined to go out. Everything was just a play played by Duke Zhen Guo for his father and the ministers. If you don’t believe me, ask seven Royal brother!"

After all, he only looked at Xuan Ming.Xuan Ming said: "It's true. Miss Xiangyun, don't be afraid, after living in this palace for a long time, it will be easier than living outside."

Shi Xiangyun had seen Xuan Ming tall and handsome with a stern face earlier, and fell in love with him at first sight, but now he saw Xuan Ming alone consoling him, so his heart was moved, and he couldn't help but blush.I couldn't help thinking about my daughter's family: "If I can marry such a happy husband like Sister Bao, I will have something to rely on in this life..."

Lin Daiyu was so thoughtful that she could see a little bit, and instead sweated for Xiangyun—"This girl is usually the most innocent, if she goes to work with Xue Baochai, wouldn't it be a sheep in the mouth of a tiger?"

Apart from this incident, Lin Daiyu still happily spent the day in Liuguang Palace, and Xuan Ming was the first to leave.

Everyone knew that Xuan Ming was busy with business, so they didn't want to stay.Before Xuanming left, she glanced at Lin Daiyu inadvertently, no one paid attention, only Lin Daiyu seemed to notice, she felt that such a cold and indifferent person like Xuanming rarely showed such caring and warm eyes.
