[Red Mansion] Ronghua Road of Mrs. Hou's Mansion

Well, she also wanted to see what kind of medicine was sold in the Yuanchun gourd.

"You were still young when I first entered the palace, and in a blink of an eye you were married, and your appearance became more and more bright. I am also old in this palace. Time is not forgiving." Yuan Chun said with emotion.

Sister Feng said with a smile: "Your Majesty is beautiful in Changchun, she is still very young."

Yuan Chun smiled sadly, "You are the same as Bao Qin, you can only coax me."

Sister Feng lowered her eyes.If it were the maids in other empress palaces, they would say the same thing.

Seeing that Sister Feng didn't answer, Yuan Chun said again: "A while ago, my grandmother brought Cousin Lin into the palace, and I couldn't recognize her for a while. She is not young now, but this is the second time I saw her. I forgot what she looked like at the beginning. However, she looks like my aunt. She is a beauty. Even a princess or princess can’t compare to her appearance. The rare thing is that she has inherited Uncle Lin’s talent. She is really a fairy figure."

Sister Feng echoed: "Indeed, Sister Lin is both talented and beautiful, and my wife loves her very much."

"I heard from my grandmother that you have a very good relationship with Cousin Lin. You often go back and forth. Both of you are my cousins. I am also happy that you are close."

Sister Feng said: "Sister Lin has a pure heart and treats people with sincerity. It is really commendable. Naturally, I would like to get close to her."

Yuan Chun pondered the meaning of Sister Feng's words, wondering whether she was simply praising Daiyu or if there was something more to her words.

Yuan Chun smiled and said, "I like such a girl too."

As for whether her words were false or not, Sister Feng thought it was a gust of wind.

"Grandmother loves Cousin Lin the most. Now that she is getting older, she is even more reluctant. It's a pity that she can't stay with her for a long time."

Sister Feng smiled lightly and said: "Fortunately, the old matriarch still has three well-behaved younger sisters. When younger sister Su Rilin doesn't visit her house, she won't be too lonely."

Letting his granddaughter not hurt, but always talking about how much he loves his granddaughter.Now that Yuanchun has brought the topic to Daiyu, it's no wonder Sister Feng doesn't doubt her intentions.

Yuan Chun's smile froze, but then returned to normal, "Cousin Lin is weak by nature, and she doesn't have a brother to help her. And next year, she will be at the age of discussing marriage. The aunt is not here, and there is only Uncle Lin. How can grandma feel at ease? Being bullied by others, I wish I could keep them under my nose for the rest of my life. You and Cousin Lin have always had a good relationship, she will definitely listen to what you say, and I will trouble you to take care of her more from now on, so don't let others bully you."

Sister Feng smelled the fresh tea fragrance, took a sip, and said with a smile: "To tell you something that I am not afraid of your mother's jokes, when my wife was not out of the cabinet, my aunt was still worried that I would have a bad life in my husband's house in the future, and she was worried day and night, so The courtiers can naturally understand the heart of the old lady. It's just that the girl is old enough to marry someone, and it's useless to worry blindly. Besides, Mr. Lin is in the prime of life, holds a high position, and loves his daughter. With such a father as a backer, I want to come No one dares to bully Sister Lin. Your Majesty should persuade the old matriarch more, lest worrying too much will damage your health."

Yuan Chun: "..."

Is it true that Sister Feng doesn't understand her hint or is she just pretending?She had hinted at it clearly.

She just wanted Sister Feng to say good things about marrying Jia Baoyu in front of Daiyu. She didn't know Daiyu well, but Daiyu would refer to what Sister Feng said.But Sister Feng played Tai Chi with her as if she didn't understand.

Although she fell out of favor for the time being, she was a high-ranking concubine after all, and Sister Feng pretended to be ignorant by pretending to be ignorant, which was too embarrassing for her.Although she doesn't like Daiyu, but for the sake of the family, she can only facilitate this marriage.The Lin family has money and power, and I'm afraid that when Daiyu is born, many people will rush to propose marriage.

If Lin Ruhai chose another family, what would the Jia family do?

Thinking of this, she felt dizzy for a while.Coincidentally, an imperial physician was checking the concubine's pulse every day, and at this time she arrived in Yuanchun Palace.

"Your Majesty is fine, but she is weak due to the miscarriage not long ago, and needs to be recuperated." Hearing Baoqin say that Yuanchun was dizzy, he added, "Don't blow the wind, don't get angry."

Don't give up, let's take a bow and leave.

"Wait a minute, the imperial physician." Yuan Chun said to Sister Feng, "Why don't you also ask the imperial physician to check my cousin's pulse, anyway, it won't take long."

Sister Feng smiled and refused, "Thank you for your kindness, but my wife is in good health, so I don't need to bother the doctor."

Yuan Chun was not angry either, "The imperial physician in the palace is highly skilled in medicine, and this imperial physician is a master in gynecology. There is no harm in asking him to diagnose your pulse."

She married Gu Xingchi and hadn't conceived for a year, and she had heard this kind of talk several times, so she was very disgusted with Yuan Chun's kindness and concern.

Sister Feng stood up and bowed, "Your Majesty, it's not that my wife doesn't know how to flatter me, it's just that there is a doctor at home who said that my wife is in good health. Therefore, I don't want to bother the imperial physician anymore."

After all, Yuan Chun wanted something from others, and he didn't dare to use his status to suppress others, so he could only let the imperial physician step down.

Sister Feng didn't want to stay here any longer, and said: "The time for my wife to enter the palace is not short, I want to say goodbye first."

Yuan Chun knew that achieving his goal would not be achieved overnight, so he could only let Sister Feng go back first, and at the same time let Sister Feng go to the palace to talk to her when she was free.

Seeing Sister Feng walking away, Baoqin said to Yuanchun: "Although she is Mrs. Jing'an Hou, you are also a first-rank concubine. Being so polite to her only made her arrogant. See how she didn't take you seriously just now." look."

Yuan Chun's face was flat, "I called her into the palace because of my impure purpose. If I use my status to suppress others, it will only be counterproductive. If she tells Jing'anhou, Jing'anhou will go to His Majesty to talk, I'm afraid Fengzao Palace It really became a cold palace.”

"Then why do you still have to make such a big circle, Mrs. Jing'anhou is obviously not willing to help you with this favor."

Looking at the birds flying past outside the palace, Yuan Chun smiled softly, "As long as she is willing to enter the palace, that's a good thing. Bring the snacks I made myself, and accompany me to greet the queen."

The news of the harem spread quickly, and the news spread soon after Sister Feng entered the palace. It was heard that Sister Feng and Yuan Chun had a very happy conversation, and they were in harmony.At the same time, the concubines who fell into trouble because Yuanchun fell out of favor also withdrew their hands.

Then they remembered the relationship between Daiyu, Sister Feng and Yuanchun. Was Yuanchun's backer so powerful?

In the carriage, Gu Xingchi asked, "What did the imperial concubine tell you?"

Sister Feng smiled slightly, "It's just talking about sisterhood, gossip."

"Oh, that's all?"

Sister Feng picked up a cup of herbal tea, "On the surface it is these."

Gu Xingchi snatched the tea from her hand and poured another cup of hot tea for her, "She wants to use you?"

Sister Feng glared at him, and could only sip hot tea in small sips, "Yeah, you use me to change the current situation, and you want me to be a matchmaker." At this point, she stared at Gu Xingchi, "Not only So, she still cares about my body."

Gu Xingchi also thought of something, and said softly: "Don't listen to those people's nonsense, it's just that the fate has not yet come."

Sister Feng frowned, "You don't have to comfort me."

Gu Xingchi smiled, "I didn't intentionally comfort you, I'm telling the truth."

"What about grandma, isn't she in a hurry? Not only grandma, but even my aunt has hinted at me several times." Sister Feng said with some concern, "How many people are staring at me, I don't know how to talk about me behind my back, saying that I am so You have not been pregnant for a long time, and you are not allowed to take a concubine, saying that I am jealous and selfish."

Seeing Gu Xingchi's smiling face, she suddenly felt a little angry, and pinched his arm, "You're still laughing, anyway those people are not talking about you."

"Okay, don't be angry." Gu Xingchi didn't hide from her, hugged her tightly, and whispered something in her ear.

Sister Feng blushed, but said nothing.

A few days later, Yuanchun called Sister Feng into the palace again to talk, but Sister Feng had no choice but to go. After that, Sister Feng would enter the palace every few days, one of which was at the same time as Daiyu.

It's just that these few times were just gossiping, talking and laughing like sisters from ordinary people, and didn't mention Daiyu and Jia Baoyu's marriage.

"Ma'am, the imperial concubine has sent someone again." Ping'er came in to report.

Sister Feng was leaning on the beauty's couch, she didn't intend to get up, "Go and tell the people outside, just say that I am unwell and not suitable to enter the palace, so as not to offend the imperial concubine or empress."

"Is Madam not going?"

Sister Feng sneered and said, "I'm afraid that if I go two more times, everyone in the capital will know that the Wang family and the Gu family are her reliance."

It's fine once or twice. Do you think she is a fool so many times?She doesn't want to be used at will.

As soon as Xiang'er came in, she heard Sister Feng say that she was unwell, and she said 'Huh', "Is Madam also sick?"

Ping'er wondered, "Who else is sick?"

"Aunt Xue, the fetus has moved for some reason, and she is clamoring to see the second master."

Ping'er knew that Second Sister You was Gu Hong's concubine, and said with a smile, "I'm afraid the Second Master is busy with his affairs, so he doesn't have time to accompany Aunt Xue."

"How much the second master protected Aunt Xue before, treating her like an eyeball hurt, but it hasn't been long before he became indifferent."

Xiang'er deeply felt that there was nothing good about being a concubine, and that honor and disgrace depended entirely on the master's thoughts.Hold it as a plaything when you like it, and throw it aside if you don't like it. If you anger the mistress, you may be sold someday.It's better to serve the master well, maybe she can be a good lady in the future, and she will give some dowry when she meets a kind mistress.

Therefore, she became more determined to serve Sister Feng well.

So when she accidentally found someone sneaking outside Yusheng Residence, she immediately reported it to Sister Feng.

"My servant asked the boy guarding the door, as if someone was inquiring about a maid, and this servant thought that it was Xiangling who was inquiring..."

……

When Yuanchun invited Sister Feng and Daiyu to enter the palace again, Daiyu was just "ill" and Sister Feng entered the palace alone.

She felt that it was better to speak clearly in person.

"I wanted to get together with our sisters, but I didn't think that cousin Lin was ill. If that's the case, we can only wait for the next time." Yuan Chun said.

Sister Feng's smile didn't have the slightest warmth, "Since the imperial concubine misses her sisters, why don't you invite the three girls of Yingchun Tanchun Xichun to the palace for a small gathering, isn't it so lively?"

Leaving aside her own younger sister and cousin, she is the cousin. Is this how she misses her relatives?

Yuan Chun didn't expect Sister Feng to ask such a question, and was immediately stopped by the question.

She was in a fluster of being exposed, but she remained calm, "I was negligent, I will invite them over next time."

"There will be no next time, Your Majesty the Imperial Concubine." Sister Feng's tone was cold.

Sister Feng's indifference made her a little uncomfortable, Yuan Chun was slightly startled, "Why did you say that?"

"Your Majesty, don't you understand?" Sister Feng smiled, "Your Majesty, your goal has already been achieved. The harem thinks that I have a close relationship with you, and no one dares to make trouble. Do you still want me to enter the palace every other day? "

"Your Majesty, because you are His Majesty's imperial concubine, I have to give you face, so I dare not refuse to come when you are summoned. But, you are always like this. If I still can't see your purpose, I will really What a fool. You know better than me that although we are close relatives, we are estranged, and now you are suddenly so enthusiastic about me, don’t you think it’s ridiculous?”

"Why do you say that?" Yuan Chun has not yet reacted.

"Your Majesty, you have to be clear that our positions are not the same. No matter how hard you try to get in touch with me, it will be in vain. I am the same, and Daiyu is the same. The Jia family only has schemes against the Lin family. The relationship between the Wang family has long been broken. As for my husband, Marquis Jing'an, he belongs to His Majesty and will not help you behind my back because of my relationship. Therefore, everything you do is of no substance to you or the Jia family. You should just give up. I will be misunderstood, and I won’t respond to your empress’ summons in the future, so please don’t bother Xihe.”

After being told the truth by Sister Feng, Yuan Chun seemed to have been slapped, with burning pain on his face.

Did they think she wanted to do this? She was also forced to do so for the sake of her family.If you don't find help for the Jia family, I'm afraid the Jia family will end sooner or later.

Baoqin is Yuanchun's close female official, and she is dedicated to Yuanchun.Seeing Sister Feng like this, she immediately reprimanded: "Mrs. Jingan Hou, you are too rude, how can you talk to the imperial concubine like this?"

Yuan Chun raised his hand to stop holding the piano, showing embarrassment, and said to Sister Feng: "Even if my intentions are not pure, there is nothing I can do. I don't really want to do this. Your father and my mother are brothers and sisters, and I am your first cousin. For uncle's sake, you shouldn't be so ruthless to me."

Sister Feng thought it was funny, "Your Majesty, you have calculations on your mind, yet you ask me to treat you with sincerity, why?"

Yuan Chun knew that what Sister Feng said was right, but she felt a little embarrassed when she was rejected like this.Even if she wants something from others, she doesn't want to let go of her airs as a noble concubine.

"It's too much for you to say that. Since we are sisters, I don't care about your faux pas, but don't push yourself too much."

Sister Feng saluted with a smile, "It's my wife's fault for making the empress angry. If that's the case, my wife will leave."

Rao Yuanchun is such a dignified and self-sufficient person, and he was also angered by Sister Feng's actions.He held the piano and said angrily: "Mrs. Jing'an Hou, you are so disrespectful to the concubine and don't know the rules. If you really want to pursue it, you will be punished."

Sister Feng turned her head, half smiling but not smiling, "The female officers next to your empress are very well-behaved."

"I………"

Yuan Chun reprimanded, "Shut up."

Sister Feng is also a married woman, and it's not yet Baoqin's turn to scold her.

Everything that should be said has been said, and Sister Feng didn't stay any longer, and immediately left Fengzao Palace.

But when she reached the door, she turned around and said another word.

"Your Majesty, do you still remember Sister Qin?"

At that moment, she saw Yuan Chun's face was pale and his body shook.

Yuan Chun did have a lot of helplessness and sacrificed a lot for the family, but this is not a reason to take advantage of others.

If she was Yuan Chun, with such powerful relatives as the Lin family and the Wang family, even though she would not be enshrined as a god, she would still need to get in touch with her from time to time. Even if she didn't like her two cousins, she would still pretend to like her very much.Yuan Chun, on the other hand, is reserved and lofty, dignified and self-restraining, and refuses to let go of his figure.Yuan Chun is not only good-looking, but also talented, so it is reasonable to look down on Sister Feng.But since he refused to get close at the beginning, why would he take advantage of it now?He obviously doesn't like Daiyu, but now he wants Daiyu to marry him for the sake of his family.

I have never given my sincerity, but it is ridiculous to ask others to help with all my strength at critical times.

Thinking of this, Sister Feng still felt unhappy.

Back at Yusheng Residence, Xiang'er rushed to meet her, "Madam, you are finally back."

"What's wrong?" Sister Feng wondered.

"Xiangling was taken away!"

Ping'er was surprised, "My wife and I came back not long after we went to the palace, what happened to Xiangling?"

Xiang'er's face was flushed, and she stammered: "Some people say that Xiang Ling and the man... just let it go..."

Sister Feng Shen Rong said, "Xiangling has been staying in Yusheng and won't go out easily, how could she do such a thing?"

Just after saying this, Qing'er came over, "Madam, Second Madam, please go over."
