[Red Mansion] Yinglian should not be pitiful

Dinner is still served in the main courtyard, but not in the open-air garden of the main courtyard, but in the front hall.Those who came were just the princes and elder brothers who accompanied the southern tour.This time the companions were still Concubine Zhen and Li Shi Zhen, Shi Feng didn't come, but took Zhen Baoyu and brother Ping'an to stay together in Wuxian Xiaoyuan where Yin Lian and Xue Baochai lived, and ate hot pot together.

It's funny to say that Zhen Baoyu and Concubine Zhen are brothers and sisters of the first blood, but the relationship is not very good.Zhen Baoyu thought that the whole concubine Zhen was involved in the whirlpool of power, and she didn't even recognize her own mother; while the concubine Zhen thought that Zhen Baoyu was an idiot who didn't know how to change things and couldn't help at all. It was not as good as Xue's money Awesome.

This time, Concubine Zhen accompanied her on the southern tour and returned to Gusu. Normally, Concubine Zhen should show something to Zhen Baoyu no matter if it was for the sake of saving face or something. She performed in front of the grandmother who was the nanny of the Son of Heaven. Every time she met Zhen Baoyu, her expression was calm, as if there was no such brother as Zhen Baoyu.

When Concubine Zhen did this, Zhen Baoyu was naturally sad.Fortunately, Zhen Baoyu is a big-hearted person, and after a while of sadness, he was comforted by Brother Ping'an and his fiancee Xue Baochai, and ignored the matter.You don't have my younger brother, and we don't have this elder sister. Anyway, besides your direct sister, I also have my cousin Yin Lian... What's so sad!

This time, it can be regarded as a family dinner, and it is placed on the promenade where Xiangfei bamboo is planted.The evening wind blows and the bamboo leaves shake, and eating hot pot here does not feel hot, but feels cool.

The copper tripod used to cook hot pot is placed on a long and wide red sandalwood waistless waist-wrapped hunchback and a short old table. Two half-grown boys, Ping An and Zhen Baoyu, sit opposite each other on the left. On the side, Feng Shi and Xue Baochai sat opposite to each other on the right, and Yin Lian sat next to Feng Shi. When she wanted to eat something, her own maid would help to serve it!

"Hey, the whitebait freshly caught from Taihu Lake tastes delicious, but it's not as good as the freshly caught fish, shrimps and crabs!"

Xue Baochai, who stared at Yin Lian, pinched her round fan to half cover her mouth, and snickered, said resentfully. "How can such a lot of food not stop the mouth of you narrow-minded ghost!"

"Where is it cramped, I'm telling the truth!" Xue Baochai put a piece of freshly cooked tofu into the small bowl in front of Yin Lian while saying so.After Yin Lian ate it, Xue Baochai spoke instead.

"Today, the concubine Zhen sent the palace maid to say that she wanted to meet you in private. I asked Yinger to go there in person, saying that you had gone out with King Yongjun and Brother Sixteen and hadn't returned yet. Yinger came back and said, Concubine Zhen The empress looks worried, and she didn't mention asking you to go again tomorrow!" Having said this, Xue Baochai wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and continued to speak unhurriedly while waving a round fan with a half-opened peony painted on it.

"I think there must be nothing important to come to Concubine Zhen. If there is something important, I guess I will specially order Ying'er to come back and deliver a message."

"Is there something important?" Zhen Baoyu snorted coldly, put down his chopsticks, took a sip of sour plum soup, and then said lightly. "It's nothing more than seeing that Sister Lian was pointed out by the emperor to King Yongjun, and King Yongjun seemed to be very kind to Sister Lian, so Concubine Zhen wanted to make a relationship. She is like this, and she has nothing to gain."

"My Uncle Bao, what are you talking about?" Xue Baochai snorted slightly. "It's fine if you tell us this kind of thing in private. If it spreads to outsiders, it will be said that you don't know the dignity, and you don't even recognize your own sister."

Zhen Baoyu knew he had made a slip of the tongue, and after smiling apologetically at Xue Baochai, he continued. "I think the emperor is lukewarm towards the crown prince, and the crown prince's behavior is getting more and more perverse. Some time ago, it was rumored that the palace maids visited the palace at random, which angered the emperor Longyan. If the crown prince continues to behave like this If we continue, the position of the crown prince is probably..."

As soon as Zhen Baoyu said this, Feng Shi, Xue Baochai, and Brother Ping'an looked at each other, unable to speak.As for Yin Lian, she was not at all surprised by Zhen Baoyu's conjecture, because as early as when she picked her up, Yin Lian had already used the method of observing Qi to see that the crown prince Aixinjueluo and Yinreng did not have the ability to be an emperor or a future emperor at all. The purple air that he should have, what he has is the princely air that a prince and county king should have. It is expected that in the end, the first crown prince since the founding of the Qing Dynasty will not ascend to the throne of the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, but will only become a prince. Princes, princes and the like.

However, it is not easy for Yin Lian to mention this reason, so Yin Lian thought about it, and decided not to say anything, and kept silent together.

After a while, Brother Ping'an touched his head, and said a word of God. "I remember that apart from the crown prince being the son of the eldest son, the King of Yong County is also the son of the eldest son!"

As soon as this remark came out, the silence was immediately broken.Zhen Baoyu took over Ping An's words and continued. "So, our family is going to have another empress."

Yin Lianjue, except for the concubine Xiang Zhuzi who can't speak and is just a dead thing, whether it's the master or the maidservants who are serving beside her, all looked at her eagerly, and suddenly felt a pain in the forehead.

"I said you are really enough!"

Yin Lian gritted her teeth with hatred, and said resentfully. "Believe it or not, I also imitated Concubine Zhen's attitude, and I don't recognize you all."

The four of them looked at each other, and then chatted about other things in unison, which made Yin Lian feel internally hurt by her appearance.What kind of relatives are these, fall!

After eating the hot pot, Brother Ping'an and Zhen Baoyu left Wuxian Xiaoyuan and went back to Xiaheyuan to rest.As for the Feng family, he stayed in the boudoir where Yin Lian lived, held Yin Lian's hand and taught them a lesson, and when the moon was on the branch, he reluctantly returned to the side courtyard.

A night without dreams.

When the sun rose and the first ray of sunlight came in through the half-open window, Yin Lian woke up from her sleep.Ever since Mr. Kangxi lived in the Zhen family's old house, Yin Lian did not practice under the moonlit night like before, but went to bed to rest and sleep properly.

But perhaps because of this, Yin Lian, who hadn't practiced much, was not as energetic as when she was practicing.Yin Lian who just woke up looked very lazy. When Lian Qiao came into the room with a basin of warm water, Yin Lian just rolled over and sat up from the bed.

Forsythia put down the basin and waited for Yin Lian to wash up, then pushed and pulled Yin Lian, who was still yawning, to sit in front of the dressing mirror, and when Yin Lian lazily picked up the wooden comb and combed her black hair slowly, Forsythia opened the closet neatly, and while searching for a suitable flag outfit, she took the time to ask Yin Lian:

"Miss, which outfit are you wearing today?"

Yin Lian glanced back, and said lazily: "The light pink, gauze flag is ready."

"But Miss, this flag outfit is only [-]% new!" Lian Qiao sighed and said disapprovingly.

"What's inappropriate!" Yin Lian rolled her eyes lightly, and still asked Lianqiao to make the suit [-]% new. The neckline, cuffs, and hem were all embroidered with pink begonia flower string flags. Bring it over.

After washing and dressing up, as soon as Yin Lian went out, she ran into Xue Baochai who was also leading a maid to wake her up.Today, Xue Baochai is wearing a royal blue shirt with peony borders embroidered with golden crochet patterns on the neckline, cuffs, and hem. It is covered with a light blue tulle short shirt. Wearing a sapphire hairpin with long tassels, and wearing sapphire earrings of the same color, the whole person looks graceful and graceful, extremely beautiful and dignified.

"What a coincidence today, we met at the door."

Xue Baochai has always adhered to her own principle of being slick and slick in everything she says and does, and pays attention to everything.On the way to the side courtyard to pay respects to Mrs. Zhen Li and Mrs. Feng, there were so many witty words, even Lianqiao and Yinger, the little girls, were taken into consideration, and they were not left out in the slightest!

Yin Lian and Xue Baochai had just arrived at the side courtyard, and before they had time to enter the courtyard gate, they saw Platycodon grandiflora running over in a panic, shouting as they ran. "Old ancestor, madam, something happened."

"What a formality to be in a panic!"

Yin Lian saw that Ji Gyo was still in shock, and immediately became angry, "Even if something terrible happened, you shouldn't be so unsteady as the young master's personal servant girl, running and yelling like this all the way. What are you talking about!" Now Shengjia is still there, and there are many people talking, isn't this yelling known to everyone.Yin Lian was annoyed because of this, that's why she scolded Kikyo angrily.

Bellflower's yelling had already alarmed Zhen Li and Feng who lived in the side courtyard.Mrs. Feng hurriedly helped Mrs. Zhen and Mrs. Li, who was on crutches, out of the room, and asked anxiously.

"What happened!"

At this time, Xue Baochai had already scolded the maidservants who had come running along with the platycodon, and sent them back to their respective posts. These four servant girls are very respectable in front of their respective masters.Therefore, Ji Jiao, who was scolded by Yin Lian, immediately told the matter without hesitation.

It turned out that the pair of cousins ​​Zhen Baoyu and Brother Pingan had just finished eating the pot last night. When they were halfway on the road, they met Jia Gui who was wandering alone in the garden and seemed to have lost his way.

Zhen Baoyu thought that Jia Gui was born in Rongguo Mansion, and his biological mother was the aunt of his unmarried fiancee Xue Baochai, who was related by marriage anyway, so he sent Ji Jiao and Shao Yao (the big maid beside Zhen Baoyu) to send Jia Gui back to his residence!

When he came back, Jijiao remembered that Ping'an had said that he wanted to eat lily and lotus seed porridge earlier, so he broke up with Shaoyao and went to the kitchen to see if there were any fresh ingredients like lotus seed and lily. When the not-so-fresh lotus lily returned to Xia Heyuan, he learned from Zhen Baoyu and Brother Pingan that the peony hadn't returned yet!

Zhen Baoyu originally thought that Shaoyao might have been delayed by something. After all, Shaoyao was specially chosen for her by Zhen Li. Thinking about it, Shaoyao probably met relatives on the way back to Xia Heyuan, and probably went back to her parents to stay overnight...

Because of this thought, Zhen Baoyu didn't send a servant to look for peony.In the end, I never thought that the genius had just begun to dawn, and I learned about it from Li Dequan, who was sent by Mr. Kangxi.Shao Yao was forcibly taken away by the crown prince last night, and early this morning, the servants who were serving her found the messy corpse in the Spring Breeze Hall where the crown prince lived!
