Dai Yuxin says

Baoqin knew that her master was thinking about problems, and she didn't like to be disturbed the most.Turning behind Yuan Chun, she gently spread out her thick and dark long hair, carefully combing and massaging her with an ivory comb.

The two arms holding the piano were sore and sore from exhaustion, Yuan Chun didn't dare to relax in holding the piano without saying stop.

After finally staying up until noon, Yuan Chun sat up straight, with a cold face, and ordered: "Give me a lazy makeup and hair style, don't make it too complicated, the simpler the better."

Baoqin didn't dare to ask more questions, Fu Yuanchun sat in front of the dressing table, thought for a moment, and began to dress her up.

Looking at the mature and beautiful face in the mirror, Yuan Chun felt even more sad.The imperial palace has always been a concentration camp for beauties, and the innovation is astonishingly fast.

If a woman wants to achieve success in the palace, even if she has a son, it is rare.

What's more, since I don't have a son, it will be difficult for me to have a chance to conceive in the future.Seeing that he was getting older and older, when he was old and youthful, Yuan Chun couldn't help but feel chills all over his body.

Thinking of the women who had been blessed by the emperor in the harem but had no children, whenever the emperor made a big trip, the fate of these women was either forced to be buried or sent to the cold palace to guard the spirit of the late emperor.

Yuan Chun shuddered again, not daring to think about it anymore.

After thinking about it, there is no other way, but to hold the emperor firmly is the right way.

However, this is easier said than done!

After listening to the information obtained by Baoqin, she thought for a long time, and she thought that her cousin Lin Daiyu might enter the palace soon.

Thinking back to Lin Daiyu whom my relatives met that year, although she was still a child at that time, her rare appearance, peerless bearing and talent were truly unparalleled in heaven and earth.

At the beginning, I really wanted to keep the fat and water from flowing into the fields of outsiders, so I assigned her to Baoyu.But the mother firmly opposed it, saying that the cousin had a weird temper and a weak body, so she might be a confidante.

From his mother's words, Yuan Chun knew that his mother hated this beautiful cousin very much, but liked Baochai from Aunt Xue's family very much.

Yuan Chun, who has been away from home for many years and lived in the deep palace for a long time, longs for her relatives day and night. In order to make her mother happy, but also for the benefit of the family, she follows her mother's wishes and chooses the daughter of a wealthy businessman to be her sister-in-law.

Later, when my mother came to visit her in the palace, she said that Lin Daiyu was so annoyed that she almost died and left Jia's mansion.

Now, the emperor loves Daiyu so deeply, if Daiyu, who is full of resentment towards the Jia family, enters the palace, what will he do?What about the Jia Mansion?

"Niang Niang, can you see this?" Baoqin held a peony flower made of ruby ​​slices in his hand, gesturing at her temples.

This ruby ​​peony was Yuan Chun's favorite, not only because it was an expensive ornament, but also because it was the emperor's first visit to her and gave her as a souvenir.

She raised her hand and took the ruby ​​peony, and saw that every piece of gem on the petal was dazzlingly red, like drops of blood flowing in her own chest, which made people feel palpitations.

"Put it away," Yuan Chun said weakly, handing the ruby ​​peony flower to Baoqin.

I personally checked out a set of elegant hair accessories in the jewelry box, and said lazily: "Let's wear these today."

Holding the piano and looking around, I saw that it was a multi-petal crabapple flower made of emerald jade and two east pearls.

Baoqin felt that there were too few hair ornaments on Yuanchun's head, so she took a pink silk flower and put it on the back of Yuanchun's head.

Yuan Chun stood up, looked back at himself in the glasses again, and sighed slightly: "Good flowers don't bloom long, and good times don't last forever. I don't know how the flowers in the imperial garden are blooming now."

Baoqin opened the closet and picked out a pink dress for Yuan Chun, Yuan Chun looked at it, shook his head slightly, pointed to a goose yellow dress and said: "This dress is paired with emerald green scarf, the color is soft and bright. "

She hoped to use this delicate color to make her complexion more delicate, Yuan Chun buried it in her heart and did not say it.

I just held the dress in front of me and made some gestures in front of the mirror, feeling quite satisfied.

Everything was ready, Yuan Chun brought the palace maid and eunuch to the Xixin Pavilion in the imperial garden with the qin, and directed the little maid to spread the felt blanket and place the qin, waiting for the emperor to show up and play immediately.

Yuan Chun wandered around near the pavilion, distracted.

"Sister Yuan, I'm so excited!" Yuan Chun followed the prestige and saw Concubine Hui standing under a rose tree with the help of a maid in the palace, smiling at herself.

Yuan Chun suppressed the anger in his heart, and replied with a sweet smile: "Ah, it's sister Hui, you're here too?"

Concubine Hui smiled like a kitten that ate a fish, looking very satisfied.

Yuan Chun looked at Concubine Hui carefully, and saw that the corners of her mouth were upturned, big and round, and her bright eyeballs were rolling around.

Yuan Chun pondered: Did this flirt come by chance or did he have ulterior motives?Could it be that she also knew that the emperor loved to take a walk here when he was irritable?

Concubine Hui approached Yuan Chun with a smile, stared straight at Yuan Chun's face, and said enviously: "Sister Yuan, you are so beautiful, I really can't think of how beautiful Miss Lin is even more beautiful than you ?”

Yuan Chun was startled suddenly, and blurted out, "How do you know about my cousin?"

Concubine Hui lowered her voice mysteriously, "I heard what the emperor said."

Yuan Chun's heart was sore and painful, Shui Xing's eyes were bent into crescents, and he forced himself to say in a very proud tone: "What the emperor said is very true, my cousin Lin's parents left early, and my grandmother and mother raised her. big."

Concubine Hui sighed, and said: "Poor! Miss Lin is really pitiful. She lost her parents at a young age. I heard that Miss Lin is about the same age as her sister's younger brother who was born with jade. A good thing?"

Yuan Chun was slightly taken aback when he heard this, and said: How does this flirt know so clearly about my family's affairs?The next time my mother comes, I have to tell my mother that the servants in the house need to be cleaned up.

Immediately smiled and said: "To tell you the truth, not only did I have this idea, but my grandmother and mother also had this idea. It's just that my cousin is a very sensible girl. She doesn't know where she heard that she was an orphan. Sha, staying at home suppresses parents, and getting married will kill the husband. Therefore, my cousin not only refused to get married, but even clamored to leave the house to live in another place. My grandmother and mother loved her very much and obeyed my cousin in everything. I heard from my mother that the mansion has set up another garden called Yuyuan for my cousin to live in, and sent many servants there to take care of her."

"Oh, it turned out to be like this, Miss Lin's life is really miserable." Concubine Hui seemed to have lifted a big rock in her heart, fluttering her big and round eyes, and said with a smile: "The imperial palace is the home of the emperor, and it is the most beautiful place in the world." The honorable place, maybe not afraid of those, if Miss Lin can come into the palace, we sisters will be able to get close from time to time."

"Who said it wasn't? Ever since I went back to my mother's house to visit my relatives and met my cousin Lin, I have always missed her in my heart. Although she is my cousin, she is actually like a real sister." Hehe sneered.

Yuan Chun listened to Concubine Hui's laughter, as if he heard an owl's cry in the middle of the night, he felt his whole body creepy, and his heart felt cold.

She stood there with a smile on her face, quickly mobilizing all the information in her mind, analyzing the latest movements of Concubine Hui.

Perhaps because she was thinking too seriously, Baoqin pulled her clothes hard behind her, implying that the emperor was coming, but she didn't notice it at all, so anxious that Baoqin couldn't help but leaned against her ear, and whispered: "The emperor is coming soon!" .”

When Yuan Chun heard that the emperor was coming, he was uplifted, his face was radiant, his eyes sparkled, and he walked towards the Xixin Pavilion with light steps, ignoring the greetings with Concubine Hui.

She had just sat down beside Yaoqin, and before she had time to adjust her breath, she saw Shui Jing with a pearl appearing on the cobblestone path to the left of Taihu Stone.

Yuan Chun raised her hands and lightly plucked the strings, a clear and cheerful melody poured out from her fingertips like flowing water.

Baoqin stopped when she saw Shuijing, her eyes turned to Xixinting.

Concubine Hui threw off the maid, stretched her back like a flying spring swallow, and flew towards the mirror at high speed.

Flying to Shui Jing, he was indifferent when he saw Shui Jing.

She suddenly transformed into a boneless eel again, sliding towards Shui Jing's embrace.

Who knows that Xiang girls are passionate, but the king has no intentions.The expressionless Shui Jing stretched out his hand to push away the oncoming Concubine Hui, and walked towards the Xixin Pavilion as if there was no one else present, leaving the amorous Concubine Hui there to hang.

Concubine Hui stood by the side of the road, with tears in her eyes, looking up at the Xixin Pavilion, she saw Yuan Chun playing the piano attentively, as if completely intoxicated by the sound of the piano.

Those aura hands, graceful figure, and delicate head swaying from side to side all showed Concubine Hui that she had won her husband.

"Your Majesty, let's go back." The close maid persuaded Concubine Hui in a low voice.

"Mn," Concubine Hui gritted her teeth and stared fiercely at the Xixin Pavilion, her body was firmly nailed to the ground like a stake.

After playing a song, I saw Shui Jing clapping his hands and looking at Yuan Chun with a smile on his face.

Yuan Chun got up to salute, only to see Shui Jing supporting her with both hands and hugging her into his arms.

Concubine Hui felt her heart was broken when she saw this.

She closed her eyes, but hot tears rolled out of the corners of her eyes.

Like a sleepwalker, with the assistance of her personal maid, she walked mechanically, staggered back to her bedroom, threw herself on the bed, and cried loudly.

She is not reconciled, really not reconciled!

She is young and beautiful, tender as water, and has a prominent family background.

Jia Yuanchun, a woman from a family of slaves, He Dehe Neng, at such an age, can still snatch the emperor away from her.

She couldn't swallow this breath!

She lay on the bed, cried for a while, thought for a while, and the maid next to her was beside her, with a mournful face, and softly persuaded: "Mother, you will only hurt yourself like this, and it won't help."

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Well, there is some truth in what you said." Concubine Hui wiped away her tears, sat up and asked the maid to dress her up.

Seeing that the master listened to her words, the palace maid hurriedly helped Concubine Hui to sit in front of the dressing table, carefully combed her waterfall-like long hair with an ivory comb, and praised: "Your Majesty is so beautiful!"

This was originally Concubine Hui's favorite flattery, but time has passed, and at this moment it touched Concubine Hui's sensitive nerves again.

Looking at the pale and pretty face in the mirror, she saw two eyes like rabbit eyes, red and wet.

"Your Majesty, comb a red phoenix facing the sun, and pair it with the emerald-feathered golden phoenix, your majesty's demeanor is even more incomparable." The close maid asked in a flattering manner facing the mirror.

"Hey! Just look at the comb." Concubine Hui frowned listlessly, and murmured: "Lin Daiyu is destined to commit an orphan, not to mention the royal family, even ordinary people, it is very taboo to choose a wife. This belongs to girls. Jia Yuanchun actually told me the secrets of the family without any scruples, what intentions?"

After hearing this, the personal maid suddenly came to her senses and said, "Your Majesty, you are so smart! Jia Yuanchun didn't follow her good intentions, she was trying to use her power to prevent Lin Daiyu from entering the palace."

"Hehe..." Concubine Hui said with a sneer, "She has Zhang Liang's plan, and I have a wall ladder. Tomorrow, in front of the Empress Dowager's maidservant, spread the words of that bitch Jia Yuanchun, and be careful not to mention yourself."

After finishing speaking, Concubine Hui immediately changed her words: "The queen mother is not the emperor's own mother, maybe she really got Lin Daiyu in when she heard that Lin Daiyu ordered Gusha to commit suicide. Gusha. You find a way to spread more people around the emperor, we want to prevent Lin Daiyu from entering the palace, and let the emperor know that it is Jia Yuanchun who made a ghost."

"High! Your Majesty's trick is really good!" Holding up the ivory comb, Yin Yin praised with admiration in her eyes, and was once again impressed by Concubine Hui's intelligence in her heart.

Concubine Hui smiled proudly: "It's not that my father and uncle had the foresight to warn me to be more careful with Jia Yuanchun and do the opposite. That bitch Jia Yuanchun wants to put aside herself and ask us to help her It is said that Lin Daiyu committed a crime against Gu Sha and prevented her cousin from entering the palace. This time we will help her and help her spread the words of Gu Sha. However, we must put aside ourselves and let the emperor know the intentions of that bitch, and we will Just watch the show."

The capital is still cold in spring, and the south of the Yangtze River is full of new willow buds and green grass.

Daiyu hurried all the way to Gusu City before the Ching Ming Festival.

The four guards of the Shuijing School escorted Daiyu to the best Yuelai Inn in Suzhou, and it was already evening.

Zijuan carried the burden on her back and helped Daiyu get out of the car. Xueyan, holding the burden for the jewelry box with both hands, followed Ah Shan to the back of the inn. There is a bluestone plaque of "Shiyuan" above the gate of the courtyard. Walking into the gate, there are three main halls facing you. It seems that they are used for receiving guests. There are two wing rooms on each side of the main hall, which must be the residence of bodyguards.There is a small door next to the main hall leading to the backyard, which should be the residence of the female relatives.

There are three houses with large eaves and two small side rooms in the backyard.Carved beams and painted buildings, the interior decoration is very exquisite.

A lot of flowers and trees are planted in the yard, and there is an exquisite rockery piled with Taihu Lake stones beside the patio.

Ah Shan led Daiyu's master and servant into the backyard, and said with a smile, "Girl, you and Zijuan Xueyan live here, it's very safe.

The four guards and the coachman lived in the wing room in the front yard, and I lived in the small side room in the back yard.Do you think it is feasible? "

Zijuan wants to say that you are a man, how can you live in the same yard as us?Looking at his short stature of less than five feet, he finally swallowed his words.

The outspoken Xueyan nodded and said, "Girl, I think it will work."

Daiyu looked at Ah Shan's expectant eyes, and smiled kindly: "The family doesn't live together, where else can they live?"

Ah Shan's face brightened immediately, his eyes sparkled, and he smiled happily: "Girl, you rest first, I'll go out and arrange for them."

"Hehe, this inn is really nice. It's the most comfortable one we encountered along the way. I don't think it's much worse than Jia's. The girl sits down and rests, and I'll get some hot water to bathe the girl." Xueyan said He smiled and ran out with the copper basin.

Zijuan helped Daiyu to sit on the chair in front of the window, then walked quickly to check the bedding on the bed in the room, observed the exquisite decorations in the room, and sincerely praised it.

Xueyan came in with hot water, ready to help Daiyu wash up.

Zijuan opened the bundle in her hand, and while tidying up her things, she smiled at Daiyu, "Girl, look at these furnishings, how do we look like we are staying in an inn? Like returning to our own home."

After arranging those people, Ah Shan hastily turned back to the backyard and came to Daiyu's room. With two strange eyes wide open, he quickly looked around every corner of the room.

Then, he walked quickly to the window, stretched his head to look outside, sniffed his nose, and said with satisfaction: "This inn is really good."

Seeing Daiyu's mournful face when he turned his head, his heart felt as if a knife had been twisted, and he stared blankly at Daiyu.

"Oh, Gusu City used to be my ancestral home, but now that I'm back, I can only live in an inn like a wanderer." Daiyu couldn't bear to let Ah Shan suffer with her, and explained with a sad smile.

A-Shan nodded and comforted: "Girl, otherwise, A-Shan will go to check tomorrow to see who our ancestral house has been sold to. Let's find a way to redeem it later?"

"No need, even if you can buy it back, it will be completely different." Daiyu shook her head slightly, sighed softly, and burst into tears.

"Girl, the hot water is ready." Xueyan came over and asked Daiyu to take a bath.

Ah Shan walked out of the house silently with his head down, thinking to himself: As long as the girl agrees to redeem the ancestral house, no matter how difficult it is, he will let the girl get her wish.

That night, Daiyu was almost sleepless, and she spent it in memories of ups and downs.

Just after dawn, Zicuckoo opened her eyes from the twilight, and saw Daiyu sitting silently on the bed with her knees hugged.

Zijuan knew very well that ever since she embarked on the journey back south, Daiyu was sometimes sad and sometimes happy. The closer she got to Gusu, the more her mood fluctuated, and she seldom slept soundly.

Seeing Daiyu wrapping her hands around her knees and burying her head in deep thought, Zijuan felt sore and asked in a strong nasal voice, "Girl, you didn't sleep well last night?"

"Well, I slept well." Daiyu didn't want Zijuan to worry about her body, so she deliberately spoke in a brisk tone.

"The girl is joking. It was midnight last night, and I heard the girl tossing and turning on the bed. I want to ask the girl, but Sister Zijuan forbids me to talk." Xue Yan pulled on her shoes, got up sleepily, said carelessly, and walked away. Go pee in the past.

Looking at Zijuan's slightly swollen eyelids, Daiyu knew that she didn't sleep well because of homesickness, and Zijuan didn't sleep well because of worry, so she smiled apologetically at Zijuan, and said, "It's all because of me, I let you sleep. Not enough, look at your eyelids are swollen."

"Girl, don't say that, it's all because Zijuan is useless and can't relieve the girl's worries." Then, Zijuan went out and brought a small bowl, and said to Daiyu with a smile: "Girl, this is the only way to boil it." The ginseng soup has been simmering on the stove, drink it while it's hot."

Daiyu took half a bowl and drank it, handed it to Zijuan and said, "I don't want to drink anymore, you can drink the rest."

Zijuan persuaded softly: "This is the thousand-year-old ginseng sent by the fourth master. It is very rare. You have not slept well these days, drink more."

Zicuckoo raised the small bowl to Daiyu again.

"No, I'm full. If I want you to drink, I want you to drink." Daiyu pursed her mouth, half coquettishly half ordering.

Zicuckoo smiled kindly, held a small bowl and compromised: "Okay, I'm full, I'll take it and continue to simmer until you wash it up before drinking it. This is a good thing."

Daiyu originally wanted Zijuan to nourish her body, but when she saw that she didn't drink it, she hurriedly said, "Drink that, any good thing will lose its effect if it is simmered for a long time."

Zijuan looked at the ginseng soup in his hand and murmured: "This is a thousand-year-old ginseng that has been formed. How can I drink such a precious thing? Isn't this killing me?"

"Hee hee, I asked you to drink it. If you don't drink it for a long time, the effect will be bad, do you know?" Daiyu fooled her with a smile.

Zijuan looked at Daiyu suspiciously, seemed to have made up her mind, and shouted: "Xueyan, this is the ginseng soup left by the girl, you can drink this."

Xueyan came over with her trousers up, tied her belt as she walked, glanced at the small bowl in Zicuckoo's hand, and said with a smile: "I don't want to drink it, I'm a cheap person, I'm afraid of the taste."

Zijuan blinked and persuaded: "How about we both drink half of it?"

Xueyan looked at Daiyu and readily agreed.

So, Zicuckoo and Snow Goose, you took a sip, and I drank the half bowl of ginseng soup in a sip.

Finally, Xueyan took the small bowl after drinking and rinsed it with boiling water, drank half of the water in the bowl, handed it to Zijuan and said with a smile: "Since this is a rare and good thing, we will not leave a drop of it." finish eating."

Zijuan took the bowl and drank it down, put the bowl down, lit the snow geese and said with a smile: "You, you really know how to live, I am convinced."

Xueyan giggled and said, "Don't give in to me, it's the girl's grace, we can't live up to it."

Zijuan looked at Daiyu and muttered in a low voice: "If you are a girl, you can drink the millennium-old ginseng soup. In this world, there are only me and Xueyan."

"In the eyes of outsiders, you and Xueyan are girls. In my heart, you and Xueyan are both my sisters." Daiyu said emotionally, and she was about to get out of bed when she lifted the quilt.

Zijuan stepped forward to hold her down and said, "My girl, don't freeze."

With that said, he quickly took the clothes and waited for Daiyu to put them on.

Xueyan had already brought hot water and helped Daiyu to wash up. Xueyan tied a double-ringed bun, which is the most common style among girls in Suzhou, for her. Bright white pearls, and then gently combed the bangs with a small comb.Taking a step back, he carefully looked at Daiyu in front of him, feeling very satisfied.Then he replied softly: "Just now Ah Shan said that all the things for the sacrifice are ready, and they are all placed on the carriage where the girl is sitting."
