Love in the Red Chamber is full of Xiaoxiang

Chapter 52: Concubine Shu's Request

After Yongjia made friends with Daiyu, he never thought of getting rid of Daiyu to protect himself.I deeply feel that Daiyu can make her feel at ease and is a person worthy of her trust. At the same time, I feel that Daiyu is pitiful for being single, and her life is meticulously taken care of. She thinks of Daiyu everywhere. You have to do your best.

A few days later, Qi Hua asked the emperor to go to another place.On the day of leaving, I couldn't come to say goodbye to Princess Yongjia.

Concubine Shu is busy with Concubine Sun Guifei's birthday, because the concubine is pregnant and has to raise her baby with peace of mind, and she only had a baby when she was 40 years old, which is even more precious.The Empress Dowager opened her mouth, and Concubine Sun Guifei also waived the rules. She didn't have to go to Changchun Palace to kneel down every morning, but she was happy and at ease.

Since Concubine Sun Gui didn't care about things for the time being, the affairs of the harem were naturally handed over to Concubine Shu and Concubine Jing.Every morning, I went to the Changchun Palace to pay my respects, served the Empress Dowager for a meal, and finished paying respects to the Buddha. At Yinshi, I went to Xiaoyue Hall with Concubine Jing and Concubine Qi to discuss affairs, listen to the reports from the Shang Palaces of various bureaus, and assign tasks.Concubine Shu is a brave person, Concubine Jing and Concubine Qi have become a show, and Concubine Shu has made up her own mind.After dinner, Concubine Shu took a chariot to visit the palaces and then let it go.

Today, among the people in the palace, people from eight out of ten pavilions praised Concubine Shu for her ability, and they praised Concubine Shu lavishly in front of the Empress Dowager.Concubine Shu naturally liked it in her heart. Of course, some people admired it sincerely, and others were jealous and cursed behind their backs.

In addition, there are not a few people in the Xianning Palace who come and go to and from the Xianning Palace every day, and there are also a lot of people who come to give gifts to flatter and ask for errands every day.Concubine Shu chatted with them for those who liked them, and for those who didn't like them, she let the female officials of Xianning Palace take care of them, and didn't care about the others.

After being busy for a while, it seems that the Dragon Boat Festival is coming again, and all places in the palace have to prepare for the festival.Concubine Shu personally sewed a pair of golden talisman sachets and sent them to Zhaoyang Palace.

Concubine Sun Guifei came out to meet the guests and ordered people to watch the good tea. Concubine Shu came out after saying a few words with her.

Back in Xianning Palace, Concubine Shu felt tired and couldn't let go, and she and Ting He murmured: "Now I'm a noble concubine, I have raised a prince, and I have raised a princess, if there is another one, what will happen?" It’s amazing. If we still want to live together like this, I don’t believe that there are so many things that come true in the world, let’s just wait and see.”

Ting He said flatteringly in front of him: "Speaking of which, the empress is very witty, she set up a trap without making a sound. If something really happens, if someone investigates, it will definitely not be found on the empress's head."

Concubine Shu narrowed her eyes and slowly rolled up her sleeves.She knew that everything she did was not only for her own good position in the harem, who wouldn't want to be a queen.It is more for the sake of the son. I think the son is good in the first place, and the mother should put more effort into sweeping away the obstacles in front of her, so that she will have no worries about her prosperous life in the future.

While discussing privately here, the old woman outside preached: "The Fifth Highness has come down to greet the empress."

Concubine Shu also liked to say hurriedly when she heard that, "Please bring my son in quickly."

Not long after, I saw a young man in brocade clothes and a treasure belt come in.As soon as he entered the room, he hurriedly kowtowed to Concubine Shu: "I have come to visit Concubine Mother, how is Concubine Mother?"

Concubine Shu hurriedly asked the people around him to pull him up and offered him tea.He looked at Shiyu over and over again: "My son, you haven't come here for a few days, did your father send you an errand? I heard from your uncle a while ago that you did a few good things. Your father is very happy about the matter, and he only praised you in the court. It is hard for you to be so proud, and all my painstaking efforts in the past are not in vain."

Shiyu said with a smile: "My son is now learning some skills and my concubine likes it. I have to repay my concubine's kindness in nurturing slowly. Please don't worry, my concubine. It's beautiful."

Concubine Shu liked her son's words very much, and said that she wanted to stay with Shiyu for dinner, but Shiyu said that something was wrong with him, Concubine Shu didn't make things difficult for him, and Shiyu left after sitting for a long time.

Concubine Shu took a nap in the afternoon, and then dealt with business again.At the time of Youshi, the eunuch in charge of the Jiyuan Palace came to deliver a message that the emperor would come to Xianning Palace for dinner today.

Concubine Shu was not expecting this sudden news, she originally invited Daiyu over for dinner, but the Emperor said she would come and was planning in her heart.

Ting He said: "The servant went to Fengyi Palace to explain to Miss Lin that the empress is going to welcome the holy driver today, so please wait another day."

Concubine Shu stopped Ting He, calmed down and thought about it, and suddenly came up with a plan in her heart, and said slowly: "This palace has its own arrangements, you just follow my orders, and don't reveal any rumors." Then she sneered and said: " This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and if I miss it this time, I really can’t think of anything to do, so I wish for it.”

So he ordered everyone to prepare for the reception of Shengjia, and specially ordered the imperial dining room to cook some dishes that the emperor liked to eat.Then he sent someone to send a message to Daiyu.

Princess Yongjia and Daiyu said: "It's rare for concubine Shu to fall in love with the girl, if she refuses again, I'm afraid there will be suspicion in the empress's heart."

After hearing this, Daiyu knew that she couldn't refuse and had to agree.Going back to the room, she changed into a set of brightly colored clothes, and had to prepare a gift. Xueyan took a foreign towel and wrapped spoons and chopsticks, and asked a little girl to deliver it first.

My aunt and my aunt arranged for a soft sedan chair, ordered two old maids to carry it, surrounded by two young maids, and headed all the way to Xianning Palace.

Besides, Concubine Shu ordered to go down, and the emperor hadn't come yet, and Daiyu's sedan chair arrived first.The crowd went up to welcome them, the girl and the girl called each other short, and they embraced and entered the main hall together.

Concubine Shu was greeting the tables and chairs, when she saw her coming, she took Daiyu's hand and said with a smile, "Sister is here, let me wait."

Then she took Daiyu to sit on the couch she used to sit on. Daiyu didn't dare to go beyond the rules, so she just sat in an armchair under the kang.Seeing the busy eunuchs and maids going back and forth, I wondered if there was anything else that could be done?I saw that new blankets had been replaced on the floor, and hibiscus mats had been re-covered on the kang.On the ground in the middle is a large four-legged incense burner in the shape of a copper body and cloisonné enamel.The finest imperial spices are burning in the censer.

Daiyu saw red candles as thick as arms burning on the candlesticks again, at this moment she suddenly heard voices from outside, sending messages back and forth again.All the people in the room went out, and He suddenly came running to Daiyu and said, "Miss Lin, you just sit and do what you do, and come quickly with the servants, the emperor is here, it's time to meet him." Without any explanation, he pulled Daiyu and went out Walk.

Daiyu was at a loss at first, but after hearing the word "Emperor", she thought badly, why did Concubine Shu not tell her about this, otherwise she would have missed today, but did not come here, what should I do now, If he wanted to avoid it, he couldn't avoid it, so he had no choice but to go to meet him.
