Love in the Red Chamber is full of Xiaoxiang

Chapter 56: Shi Heng's Request

The turmoil subsided slowly, and no one kept cats in the palace.Daiyu kindly took in the lonely little white cat, but she was helpless.

Concubine Sun Guifei changed too much in this turmoil. First she lost the child she was conceived with great difficulty, and then she suffered a serious illness and her temperament changed drastically.People were also confused, rumors began to spread in the palace that the imperial concubine had been bewitched, and some even rumored that she had attracted a cat demon.

Concubine Sun Gui is now like a frightened bird, never daring to step out of Xianning Palace again.

The affairs of the palace are still handled by concubine Shu and others. The queen mother has not asked about it for many years, and now she has to ask about all major issues.After one or two months, it's still peaceful.

This day Yongjia took Daiyu to pay respects to the concubine, and happened to meet Shi Heng who came to the concubine's place.Concubine Jing came out to say hello, and saw that Shiheng and Yongjia brothers and sisters were in harmony, she liked it very much.Princess Yongjia is the empress dowager's first love, and it's not a bad thing to get close to her.

"I've heard people talking about the princess's marriage. I heard that the emperor has ordered Qin Tianjian to choose a date. It seems that it will be this year, soon."

Yongjia's cheeks were slightly flushed, showing a shy expression.

Concubine Jing said with a smile: "Princess don't need to be ashamed, this is a great thing."

Shi Heng said beside him: "The Princess Mansion has been completed, and the father is calling people to write inscriptions everywhere. Maybe the fifth sister will move out in a month or two."

Daiyu listened below, wondering how the days passed so quickly.If the princess leaves the palace, she will no longer need to read with her, so what should she do.Immediately his mood fell, and he rubbed an ice silk handkerchief in his hand.His eyebrows were slightly frowned, and there seemed to be a trace of sadness and sadness in his eyes.All these expressions of hers fell into Shiheng's eyes.

Shiheng is naturally an intelligent person, and understands why Daiyu is like this.It's just inconvenient to comfort.

Not long after Yongjia sat there, they both left when they noticed something strange about Daiyu.Shiheng followed Daiyu's figure until he could no longer see her before he came back to his senses.

Naturally, the son's thoughts cannot be hidden from the mother. She thought about it and asked, "Could it be that Miss Lin is thinking about my son?"

Shiheng didn't evade, and said with a smile: "Mother and concubine can tell at a glance. What should the mother and concubine say about the son?"

Concubine Jing drank some tea and said slowly: "I heard people say that the queen mother wanted to promise her to your seventh brother, but your seventh brother refused later. The queen mother also said that she will be the master of Miss Lin's marriage. Then Miss Lin's identity has grown accordingly. It seems that she is also in the favor of your fifth younger sister. In this case..." Concubine Jing slowly fiddled with the tea cover, looked at Shi Heng, already had an idea in her heart, and said: "Why don't you go and ask the Queen Mother to take Miss Lin back and keep her in the house?"

Shiheng got up and smiled when he heard the middle of his chest: "My child also thought so, but I was afraid that it would not be easy to speak. Since the concubine mother also thinks so, why don't you ask the concubine mother to ask the queen mother for someone, okay?"

Concubine Jing smiled and said: "I think you can handle things now, let me tell. If the Empress Dowager agrees, you and I will have a good face, if not, it will be me who will lose face, not you. Sure enough, you are clever, Okay, I'll take a look at it, it will be good for you to have such a woman by your side in the future. I'll run this trip for you as a mother. "

Shiheng liked to be self-evident in his heart, so he hurriedly urged his mother to ask for it quickly.

Concubine Jing asked the maid to change her clothes, and took a chariot to Changchun Palace.

At this time, the Changchun Palace was actually bustling with concubines Kang Cigui, Concubine Shun, Concubine Qi and Princess Beijing accompanying the Queen Mother to watch the opera.

Concubine Jing went forward to salute the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager liked it and asked her to sit next to Concubine Shun.

Concubine Jing was thinking about how to speak, and she thought it would be better to speak softly, even if she refused, she would not lose the face of herself and the Queen Mother.Because she had something in her heart to watch the play, she couldn't watch it safely, and finally waited for the show to end, so Concubine Jing said in front of everyone: "The concubine has something to ask the Queen Mother to fulfill."

The Queen Mother hurriedly asked: "What's the matter, come to Ai's house and listen."

Concubine Jing said with a smile: "The concubine fell in love with a girl, and asked the queen mother to decide to ration her to the concubine's sixth son as a side concubine."

The queen mother laughed when she heard it: "Is there a lot of concubines, side concubines and concubines in the old sixth house? If you want more, let's go. It's nothing. Most people have three wives and four concubines. Our royal family has three wives and four concubines. It's nothing. Since Concubine Jing said this, the Ai family would like to hear which girl Concubine Jing has taken a fancy to?"

Concubine Jing smiled and said: "If ordinary girls and concubines would never dare to bother the Queen Mother, the concubine's old Liu originally fell in love with Miss Lin next to the Fifth Princess. Please allow the Queen Mother."

"You mean her?!" The queen mother was taken aback.

Princess Bei Jing who was in front of her also heard it, and thought that if it is said that the two are relatively talented, it is just that this matter seems a bit inappropriate.

The Empress Dowager pondered for a while and only said: "Understood."

Concubine Jing saw that there was no more text, but she was puzzled in her heart, she couldn't say a word, whether to give or not, she couldn't guess what the Queen Mother was thinking.He didn't dare to ask any more questions, so he sat there in embarrassment.

The Empress Dowager went to talk to Concubine Kangci again.After a long time, when Concubine Jing was about to leave, the Empress Dowager finally said: "Lao Liu has to think about it again. Let's go."

Shi Heng waited for a long time in the concubine's palace, and finally looked forward to the concubine's return.

Concubine Jing's complexion was not very good, and she sighed: "My son, I'm afraid this matter is not easy to handle. I don't know what the Empress Dowager means, I just have to think about it."

It was also within Shiheng's expectation, and he hurriedly said with a smile: "The concubine mother doesn't have to worry about her son. Since the emperor's grandmother didn't say no in person, then there is still hope for this matter. Why don't we wait a little longer and see."

Concubine Jing said: "That's the only way to plan. But you have to be prepared in your heart."

The Empress Dowager was also in a difficult situation. At the beginning, she said in front of everyone that she wanted to make decisions for Lin Daiyu.In her heart, she decided that Lao Qi was suitable for her, but she didn't know that Lao Qi was awkward and refused in her heart.She knew that although it was Concubine Jing who said it, it must have been the sixth child who begged for it, and her character and appearance were not bad at all.

This matter is big or small, she has to think carefully.
