Love in the Red Chamber is full of Xiaoxiang

After Daiyu entered the palace, she became the accompanying reader of Princess Yongjia. She usually practiced calligraphy and reading together with the princess, and accompanied her to relieve the princess' boredom.I can still live a leisurely life without hearing anything else.

Princess Yongjia was originally born to the emperor's original concubine, Empress Xiaoduan, but because Empress Xiaoduan suffered a serious illness the year before last, she went west.Princess Yongjia has a docile personality and looks a bit like her biological mother, so she is deeply loved by the emperor. Now she lives alone in Fengyi Palace.

The emperor was in charge of the affairs of the world, and he was also very strict in educating the prince and princess, but the princess was not as good as the prince in palace studies. The emperor took pity on Princess Yongjia for being smart and studious, so he summoned some talented ladies from officials and officials to be the princess's companions. .

The seventh day of February is the Queen Mother's birthday, and the palace has already made preparations early after the Lantern Festival.

Daiyu is a newcomer to the palace, so she has to prepare a congratulatory ceremony.I have nothing else but a pair of pouches and a string of Canan rosary beads I made in the past.Let the snow geese be sent to the Changchun Palace where the Empress Dowager lives.

The Empress Dowager also liked seeing Yongjia: "You're busy these days, and it's hard to see you except for greetings in the morning and evening. What are you busy with all day long?"

Princess Yongjia smiled and replied: "Grandmother, I have been listening to Miss Lin's lectures for the past few days. I have gained a lot of knowledge. I have never seen such a talented woman."

The queen mother looked around and said: "Why don't you see your Miss Lin, call her here and let me have a look."

Princess Dunhui heard it, got up quickly and said, "Xin'er, please." Then he went out happily.

The Queen Mother said to the people in front of her: "Why is Princess Dunhui still acting like a little girl? Her temperament hasn't changed at all these years."

Sitting at the bottom, Princess Bei Jing hurriedly replied: "What the queen mother said is that the concubine and his brother are worried, saying that she always looks like she will not grow up. She likes to follow her temper, afraid that she will not be able to discipline her."

The queen mother smiled and said: "I like her temperament, anyway, she doesn't have to worry about marrying. If you are brothers and sisters-in-law, you will worry about it for a few more years, and you should make her husband's family a headache in the future."

Everyone laughed.

Princess Bei Jing said again: "At the time when the concubine was still there, I had a headache. But she is such a daughter, and no one in the family dared to take care of her, so she was used to it."

In addition, when the country was founded, four kings with different surnames, Beijing, Nan'an, Xiping, and Dong'an, were conferred, and the Shui family of the king of Beijing was the most successful.Now Wang Jue is attacked by Shui Rong, the grandson of the Shui family, and the Wang family of Beijing is the Empress Dowager's natal family, so they are quite close to the royal family.Shui Xin is the emperor's own princess, and has been with Princess Yongjia all these years, so she can often go in and out of the palace.

While everyone was talking, Princess Dunhui led Daiyu to come.

Daiyu saw a room full of people, whether they were concubines or princesses, mainly princesses or princesses.She went forward to salute the queen mother, who nodded and said: "Come here, give Miss Lin a seat."

Then the lady-in-waiting moved a nanmu official hat chair, and another lady-in-waiting laid out a mattress with bright yellow satin embroidered with five-clawed dragons.Daiyu didn't dare to sit down, so Princess Dunhui dragged Daiyu around to introduce her.

"Sister Lin, this is Concubine Shu."

When Daiyu heard that she hurriedly saluted, she saw that Concubine Shu was wearing a phoenix robe with golden satin embroidered with Luanfeng.A lazy look.On her slender, slender fingers, there are several inches long tortoiseshell nail covers.She lowered her head and kept fiddling with the pair of shining bracelets on her wrists.Seeing the introduction of Princess Dunhui, she raised her head slightly and nodded slightly, with no expression on her face.

With just one glance, Daiyu knew that this concubine was not easy to get along with.

Dun Hui introduced them one by one: "This is the third princess, this is the sixth princess, this is the eighth princess, this is Princess Qing, this is Princess Duan, and this is Song Meiren..."

Daiyu tried her best to memorize the facial features of these people one by one, and she would have to greet and salute when she met them by chance in the future, and she must not lose courtesy in such an environment.

Finally, Princess Dunhui pulled her in front of a young woman in a light yellow dress, and said with a smile, "Sister Lin, this is my sister-in-law."

Daiyu was at a loss and didn't know how to address her. The queen mother hurriedly helped Daiyu out, and said with a smile, "This is Princess Beijing."

Daiyu hurriedly called the princess, and saw that the princess looked familiar. I don't know where she met her.Taking a closer look, one can see that this princess is slender, with firm skin, eyebrows like willow leaves, pretty like spring peaches in March, demure and elegant.A brocade jacket with light yellow Japanese satin inlaid with tassels and dark eight treasures, tied with a willow yellow silk brocade skirt embroidered with gardenia in two threads of gold and silver.

Princess Beijing took Daiyu's hand, and said to the Queen Mother: "I have met this Miss Lin before. I often hear the princess mentioning in my ear that seeing her today is extraordinary. Miss Lin has caused a lot of trouble, please forgive me."

Daiyu hurriedly said: "The princess is extremely intelligent, dexterous and cute, the princess talks too much."

Princess Bei Jing smiled and said: "I don't know the queen mother. When the old lady Shi of Jia's family celebrated her [-]th birthday, I went to see their Rongguo mansion. At that time, four girls were invited, and all of them were born well. It was really good." .”

Lin Daiyu still suddenly remembered seeing this princess, but she didn't pay attention at that time, and only remembered a thing or two after listening to Princess Beijing talking about it.

The queen mother talked about Concubine Yuan again: "This Jia family is really good, but it's a pity that the blessings are not enough. People who are only in their 30s go. Back then, they were extremely filial at Ai's family."

Concubine Shu heard the Empress Dowager mention Concubine Yuan, and everyone praised Daiyu again.Only then did he take a second look at Daiyu, with a bit of disdain in his eyes.

Later, the queen mother talked about Princess Beijing's illness: "A doctor named Qiao came to this imperial hospital. I heard that he is very skilled and his pulse condition is good. Why don't you invite him to show you, while you are young, take care of yourself." The disease was cured. I still hope to hug my grandnephew."

Princess Beijing Jing listened to each sentence with an uncomfortable expression on her face.She is already 21 years old, and she has been married to Prince Jing for more than four years.But the offspring are desolate and have been barren.Now I don't know how many famous doctors I have sought, and I have taken dozens of prescriptions. Over the years, I have taken dozens of catties of medicine, but there is no effect at all.

Duan Wangfei said: "Bei Wangfei is young, I heard that she has a good relationship with Bei Wangye, and respects each other like guests. There will definitely be children, there are many opportunities."

Daiyu heard everyone talking about Princess Beijing's illness, so she knew that the princess was not in good health, and she really couldn't tell from the outside.Only then did I realize that the word rich and honor in this world is not complete.It looks gorgeous from the outside, but how many people know the sadness behind it.

The Wang family of Beijing and the Jia family are family friends. Their ancestors had friendship since the beginning, and they shared weal and woe.Seeing Daiyu's timid nature, Princess Beijing was overwhelmed with coquettishness.I wondered why their family sent a weak girl to the deep palace. Although she was a princess, she had nothing to rely on.From now on, when it comes to marriage and marriage, the Jia family can't be in charge, and there is no one in this palace.pitiful.

"Miss Lin is unparalleled in talent and beauty. I have heard about it. The princess of our family asked Miss Lin to teach me a lot. Miss Lin doesn't know, her brother and I have a headache. Such a grown-up, but still like a child. I know how to mess around with the little girls. Although I have been with the princess for many years, I haven't learned the princess's dignity and demure at all, but she is very naughty. I can't help it." When Bei Wangfei mentioned Princess Dunhui, she couldn't help frowning.

Princess Dunhui left and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I heard everything. You spoke ill of me in front of Sister Lin, didn't you? I'll tell brother to go."

Princess Bei can't do anything with this sister-in-law.

Princess Dunhui asked again: "My brother will be back tomorrow, isn't he? Just in time for the Queen Mother's birthday."

"Yes, I'm coming back. Let him take care of you too."

Princess Dunhui stuck out her tongue, pulled Daiyu and went elsewhere.
