The Palm Jade of the Red Chamber

"Following heaven's fortune, the emperor's decree said: Mu Helin, the daughter of a cabinet scholar, is next to the emperor, and is dedicated to her. She has both ability and political integrity, and she has a good tolerance. A group of virtuous queens can be seen. Special report to the Emperor Ming The Empress Dowager, following the charter of the Six Palaces, was granted the title of Concubine Xi, and granted her residence in the Changchun Palace. This is a gift from me.”

An imperial decree broke the tranquility of the capital, and a girl from the Lin family who had not reached Ji was made a concubine without warning. At this moment, many people were startled to realize that the Lin family still belonged to the Eight Banners. No wonder Xiaozhuang valued the girl from the Lin family so much. I always bring it with me. You must know that there are very few high-ranking concubines in the emperor's harem, and many who have been in the palace for many years are still in the position of nobles. This Lin Daiyu is a concubine as soon as she enters the palace. It will not be inferior to Tong Bin.

After all, the girl from the Lin family is looked after by two empress dowagers, and she has a great friendship with the emperor. In addition, the girl is already beautiful and charming at a young age, and it will not be easy in the future!

"What a Concubine Xi!" In Chengqian Palace, Concubine Tong's beautiful face turned ferocious. She thought that with Kangxi's temperament, it was impossible for Lin Daiyu to have a higher status in the palace than her, but she wanted to respect the rules. The emperor not only made an exception for her, but also made an exception for Lin Daiyu, and even now she has no title, but Lin Daiyu is named "Xi", and the emperor's title is "Kangxi".

Thinking of this, Concubine Tong hated her even more. If it wasn't for the fact that she was not pregnant yet, she would not have stayed in the concubine's position forever.

Lin Hai locked himself in the study, and there was a portrait of Jia Min in front of the desk. He stroked the portrait, and his eyes slowly turned red: "Min'er, our Yu'er is about to enter the palace. From now on, my father , it is not easy to see her."

Although the imperial palace is a place of wealth and honor, there is no freedom outside the palace in this harem. His Lin family is an offshoot of Mu Helin, and has already fallen into decline. What's more, they have completely integrated into the Han culture, and their children are raised according to the Han culture. Come on, there is even Han blood in the blood. If it wasn't recorded in the genealogy, the Lin family would have forgotten that they still have the blood of Mu and Lin, but even if they had this blood, it would not be of much help to Daiyu .

Lin Hai sighed, his daughter entered the palace, he was useless as a father, he could not change the fate of his daughter entering the palace, and there was no family to protect his daughter, Lin Hai was suddenly annoyed, why there were only three of them in the Lin family!His father is too weak, it would be great if he could have more brothers, at least seeing how many people there are, he is not easy to bully!

"Girl, if you enter the palace, can the servants go with you?" As soon as Daiyu returned to her room, she was surrounded by the maids. Looking at the girls who grew up with her, Daiyu felt reluctant Just now, my father-in-law said that the empress dowager took pity on her and asked her to bring two maids into the palace. She had already decided who she would bring with her, and she was old enough, so she couldn't miss the girl's life.

"Bailing and Xueyan accompany me into the palace. You are also old. If you want, I will let my father help you find a good home." Daiyu said to the maids in her room. Ben came out of the palace, and now she is still receiving the salary from the palace. When she entered the palace, they also said that they would follow her back, and Bai Ling and Xueyan were the first two maidservants by her side. She was used to them Two waiters.

"Miss, can this servant enter the palace with you?" The other people's arrangements for Daiyu didn't make any sense, although it was a pity that they could no longer serve the girl, but Zijuan was unwilling, she asked timidly.

She came from Jia's mansion. Even though the deed of selling herself is in Daiyu's hands, after all, there is a little gap between Lin's mansion and Daiyu's trust in her these years. She also knows that she is Jia Mother Jia asked her to watch Daiyu, and she did so all these years. She never thought that one day Daiyu would enter the palace. She always thought that Daiyu would marry Jia Baoyu.

Now that Daiyu has entered the palace, she is not the one who brought her with her, and she is already a servant girl in Lin's mansion. If she stays in Lin's mansion, she can only wait to be distributed to the servants in the mansion. This is the last thing Zijuan wants to face. of.

She doesn't want to marry a servant, and the children she will give birth to in the future will also be slaves.

"Zijuan, if you are willing, I can send you back to Jia's mansion. Grandmother is also willing to come if she wants to." Daiyu looked at Zijuan and said.

"Is it true that the girl can't bring slaves into the palace?" Zijuan asked again unwillingly.

"Impossible!" Daiyu shook her head, her gaze was very firm. Seeing Zijuan, she knew that Daiyu's decision could not be changed. If the Jia family and the Lin family had to make a choice, then she said, "The girl sent the servant back to Jia's house." Let's go." She'd better go back to Jia's Mansion, where her chances would be better.

"Okay, I'll let someone send you back." Zijuan's decision didn't surprise Daiyu at all, she had already expected her choice.

"Thank you, miss." Zijuan knelt down and kowtowed three times to Daiyu, repaying their master-servant friendship for the past few years.

That afternoon, Daiyu took Zijuan away when she sent Tianyou to report to Jia's mansion. She only had two days to prepare. After two days, she would leave her relatives and enter the palace. Everything in the future must be done by herself. Face, so there are many things to prepare.

In the final analysis, Tianyou is the most worrying person. She is leaving now. Tianyou is only ten years old, can he take care of himself?

Because of Daiyu's entry into the palace, Tianyou hid himself from crying, his eyes were red from crying, like a little rabbit.

He never thought that one day his sister would enter the palace and become a concubine. If he wants to see his sister in the future, the chance is not great. If his sister just marries an ordinary person, he will become a high official in the future. , can still protect my sister, and I can meet several times a year. An imperial decree from the emperor disrupted his life plan.

But even if he didn't want to, he couldn't change anything, except his eyes were red from crying, he could only pretend to be calm in front of his sister, so as not to worry her.

The news of Daiyu's entry into the palace soon spread to Jia's mansion. When Jia's mother heard it, she was silent. Unfortunately, Baoyu was also beside Jia's mother at this time. He lowered his head silently. Jia's mother sighed and touched her. Baoyu's head, said: "You two are not destined after all."

"Fate is destined. It's good that sister Lin and I are like this." Baoyu smiled calmly. He didn't tell anyone. Before Daiyu's birthday, he had a dream. Everything in the dream was different from here. In the dream I like the lonely and helpless sister Lin who grew up with me, and the sister Lin in the dream also likes him, not as good as my sister in reality, and she doesn't look good when she sees him.

He thought that the self in his dream would have a happy ending, that he would marry his favorite sister Lin, and be with the sisters forever, but no, none of the sisters ended up better than the present, and the self in the dream He is married, but the bride is not his beloved sister Lin, but sister Bao who has already entered the palace. What is even more sad is that his sister Lin died of illness on the night of his marriage, and the people who accompanied him There is only Zicuckoo.

After waking up from the dream, Baoyu suddenly couldn't distinguish between reality and dream. He envied himself in the dream to have a happy relationship with Sister Lin, but he didn't want Sister Lin to be as bleak as in the dream. Sister Lin is very good like this. She has a father, a younger brother, and a family of her own. No one can bully her. She is in good health, and she is not as sick as in her dream.

There were gains and losses, and he suddenly felt that all of this was predestined. If it was to be able to be with Sister Lin, the price would be Sister Lin's sickness and misery, but he thought it would be good to maintain the current situation.

He likes sister Lin, but not as much as he in the dream, so when he heard the news that sister Lin was going to enter the palace, he was worried and sad, but he couldn't bear it. He was not the him in the dream after all.

He wanted to be independent, and the cowardly self in his dream made him look down a bit. He didn't want to be that kind of person, a man who had to rely on his sister for everything.

"Old ancestor, I have made you worry about it all these years." Baoyu felt a little sore when he saw Jiamu's white hair.

After listening to Baoyu's words, Jia's mother couldn't help the water in her eyes. She touched Baoyu's head and was very pleased: "I can hear you say that, and I feel at ease." The grown-up grandson, Jia's mother devoted all her selfishness to Baoyu. Now that Baoyu has started to grow up, she is at ease. She doesn't have to worry that this child will not be able to take care of herself after a hundred years.

"The grandson will listen to his father, and the grandson will not disappoint his father and ancestors." Baoyu's eyes were firm, and he set a goal for himself.

Perhaps this goal is not so easy to achieve.

"The old ancestors don't want you to be very successful. They just hope that you can support your family, protect your sisters, and take good care of yourself. You are not the eldest son of the eldest son. It will be your second elder brother Lian who will inherit the Jia family in the future. The old ancestor There is not much that can be left to you. Although your sister is always there now, she is only a small one. It is uncertain what will happen in the future, but your mother puts all her hopes on your sister. Baoyu, you can't have the same thoughts as your mother." Entering the palace to gain opportunities, Jia's mother has no objection, she also hopes that Jia's mansion can be improved, but she will not naively think that Yuanchun is favored in the palace, The Jia Mansion will be able to restore its former glory. She knows best about a place like the palace. Yuan Chun needs the help of the Jia Mansion, and everything needs to be taken care of. It is not an easy task for the current emperor to rise to a high position. She doesn't have high expectations for Yuan Chun.

"Yes, grandson understands." Baoyu nodded.

His sister is also not easy. What he thinks now is very simple. Even if he doesn't like it, he still has to do it. He just wants to get a job. If he has a job, he will be a teacher when the time comes. That's enough.
