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

Chapter 23 Preparing for the Mid-Autumn Festival Feast

In Chuxiu Palace, Sister Rong'an announced the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet to all the show girls early in the morning, saying that this is a perfect opportunity for the women entering the palace to shine in front of the royal family members.He also said how many concubines, princesses, and wives were married by the emperor at the Mid-Autumn Festival.Among them, there is an example of a certain princess ascending the throne of princess directly from a poor person, and then gave birth to three little princes, who have been favored for decades, and another example is that the wife of a certain powerful minister also climbed from the bottom to the sky, and so on.He also said: "The young masters here, no matter in terms of origin or education, are hundreds of times stronger than civilian women, so the fate of the young masters should not be bad. For the young masters, noble The only difference between being humble and lowly is which man is attracted to. There is still a month to go, and the little masters will fight for the honor and disgrace of their lives, and carefully prepare to show their performances..."

After some speeches, the morale of the show girls was high, and each of them secretly made up their minds that they must win the applause of the whole hall and strive to be married by the emperor.Of course, Shi Xiangyun also secretly made his own little calculations. If he can be outstanding and marry the seventh prince, his dream will come true at that time, so Shi Xiangyun began to work hard like never before.But Lin Daiyu didn't take this matter seriously. When Rong'an just announced this matter, she felt disgusted in her heart: It's a pity that women in this era can only become masters by marrying powerful people!And if Lin Daiyu wants to become a strong person, it seems that she can't avoid it.But at this time, I really don't want to get involved in the fight about women's jealousy... Let's do it and see.

Back in the room, Shi Xiangyun was like an ant on a hot pot: "What should I do? I have been a rich lady for so many years, but I never thought of learning a skill that would overwhelm me! Now it's all right, I can't sing, I can't dance, and I can't play musical instruments—the strings have never been touched! Thinking about the set of "a woman without talent is virtue" at home has killed me!... Sister Lin, you are the most beautiful person on weekdays. Dexterous, do you have any ideas at this time?"

Lin Daiyu covered her mouth and smiled: "Hey, why are you in such a hurry at this moment? Is it because you have Mr. Ruyi, are you afraid of being robbed by other beautiful girls?"

Shi Xiangyun blushed, pouted and said: "My good sister, what time is this, and you still make fun of him..."

After the two sisters had played around for a while, Lin Daiyu sighed and said, "Hey, you and I are both rich ladies who grew up in the same house. What else can we do at this time? Ladies and gentlemen, I wish we sisters could be treated one by one. It’s good to be as determined as Sister-in-Law Zhu’s sister-in-law. How can I train girls in various abilities like other families. But now it seems that if you want to win the emperor’s favor at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, it’s not impossible... "

When Shi Xiangyun saw Lin Daiyu say that first, he thought it was hopeless.But the words she said later ignited her hope again: "What can I do? My good sister, you should keep talking!"

Lin Daiyu glanced at Shi Xiangyun, smiled and said, "I've never seen a girl who is so anxious to marry herself off!...I'm not joking, but I want to seriously remind you: you really want to marry the Seventh Prince? I know that you and Xue Baochai have a good relationship, but when the time comes, when you serve your husband together, all the friendship will become another matter. As the saying goes: "The hatred of killing the father, the hatred of taking the wife", but women's Jealousy is more terrible than these, if you really marry the Seventh Prince, you will really have 'hate for taking your husband' towards Xue Baochai..."

Shi Xiangyun's nimble eyes were half extinguished after hearing this, and then flashed again, saying: "It's okay, I believe in Sister Bao!..."

Lin Daiyu smiled wryly, "Stupid girl..."

There was silence for a while, as if he couldn't convince Xiangyun's firm heart, so he said again: "If you really want to shine at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, you just need to do it differently."

"How can it be different?" Shi Xiangyun asked anxiously.

Lin Daiyu said gracefully: "Thinking about it carefully, all the unique skills of girls from small households inside and outside the palace are nothing more than piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing, dancing and poetry. If you want to stand out, you have to jump out of this routine. Now I am There is an ingenious program. It just needs time to practice, and it needs to be harder, would you like it?"

Shi Xiangyun hurriedly nodded in agreement.

In Fengzao Palace, Jia Yuanchun was not idle either.This year's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet is different. Several princes have reached the age of adult marriage, and the emperor has long planned to give marriages to the princes at this banquet.Therefore, Jia Yuanchun not only had to serve the emperor side by side with the empress, Jia Yuanchun naturally had to participate in the bestowal of marriages to the princes, and even participated in the emperor's opinion on choosing a new concubine.

Female Shi Baoqin just ordered someone to bring back newly made beautiful clothes and jewelry from Sizhen's room and Huafu room, and showed Jia Yuanchun one by one.The jewels are bright and the clothes are bright, people can't help admiring, but Jia Yuanchun just took a look, and said softly: "It's reasonable."

Baoqin hurriedly came up to make fun of it: "This is natural. The female officials in the Sizhen Room and the Huafu Room heard that it was the empress's belongings, and they all worked hard day and night." Seeing no one around, they came together again Jia Yuanchun whispered: "I heard that even the queen's phoenix robe in the palace is standing behind. No one can be favored like the empress!"

Jia Yuanchun smiled bitterly, and squeezed out a few words between his bright teeth: "What's the use? The queen is the queen, and the concubine is the concubine. No matter how favored you are, you can't wear a phoenix robe." He asked again: "What's the situation in Chuxiu Palace? how?"

Baoqin replied in a low voice: "Lin Daiyu is still at peace at the moment, and she is not included in the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet program list reported by Master Rong'an. On the contrary, Xue Baoqin is always strong and has offended many people. He understands that no one is with her. General knowledge, after all, everyone knows that the surname Xue is from a merchant's family, and her upbringing is not much better. If I also seriously care about her, wouldn't I have lowered my status? The most ridiculous thing is that merchants like them say that they have learned from childhood. After learning the piano art, I went to Master Rong An to sign up."

A disdainful smile flickered on the corner of Jia Yuanchun's mouth, and he asked again: "Who has signed up for Chuxiu Palace?"

Baoqin replied one by one: "There is Ming Hanxiang, the daughter of Prime Minister Ming. Her dancing posture is amazing. There are also other ladies from official families. As for those who are related to our family, it is the wife's fault." Daughter Jia Miaoyu, she is also showing Guqin, it is estimated that Xue Baoqin's qin art will be compared to that of Xue Baoqin! There is also Shi Xiangyun from Shi Dinghou's family."

Jia Yuanchun couldn't help sneering, and said, "That silly girl Shi Xiangyun, what can she know?"

"Your Majesty doesn't know that Shi Xiangyun's program is kept secret. These days, Madam Rong'an just ordered a lot of curtains, candles, fine sand..."

"What kind of mess are they? Let's see what tricks she can come up with. At that time, don't say that she is my cousin, it's not enough to embarrass her!" Jia Yuanchun said disdainfully, "No matter what, I Jia The daughter of the Jia family must be the biggest winner at this Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. I will not be destined to wear a phoenix robe in this life, but my Jia family will definitely be the mother of the world!"

Baoqin quickly bowed his knees and said flatteringly: "Your Majesty is far-sighted, no one can overshadow our Jia family's limelight!"

The master and servant laughed triumphantly.
