[Red Mansion+Qing Chuan] The heroine comes from the last days

Lin Daiyu came to congratulate Jiang Ling.

Today is the tenth day of the seventh lunar month, not the first day or the fifteenth day, but Jiang Ling has just been promoted to imperial concubine and gave birth to a prince, so Lin Daiyu followed the dowager's order to come to the palace to congratulate Jiang Ling.Because Jiang Ling was still in confinement and it was inconvenient to receive guests in front, Lin Daiyu was led into the room, and the eunuchs were ordered to move a new seat.

Although it was already July, the weather was extremely hot, and the doors and windows of Jiang Ling's house were closed, but for some reason, Lin Daiyu felt cooler than outside, not the chilly cold wind in winter, but the most pleasant temperature.

Obviously, Jiang Ling's ability played a role again.

Jiang Ling leaned on the couch and said with a smile: "Sit down, they won't let me move around freely these two days."

Before the words fell, a nanny said: "The imperial concubine's words are wrong. It is not 'these two days', but 'this month'. The empress dowager even spared the daily morning and evening appointments, saying that you During this confinement period, don't catch cold or wind, lest the root cause of the disease will fall."

Jiang Ling listened to the same words three or four times a day, and could almost memorize them.

She turned her head silently, resting her fingers lightly on the side of the bed.

Although there was no cool breeze outside, it lowered the indoor temperature a bit.Jiang Ling reckoned that there should be a range of 27 octaves.No matter how low the temperature is, it will become the scope of "being cold and blown by the wind" in the mouth of the nuns, and they dare not mess around.

Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "It's better to be cooler in the room."

After the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, Lin Daiyu took out the small gift that the concubine had prepared for Jiang Ling, and the small gift that she had prepared for Jiang Ling.They are all small things for babies. Although they are simple, they are full of heart.Jiang Ling thanked with a smile, asked the nuns to put it away, and said: "You came here today, does the second wife know?"

Lin Daiyu couldn't help frowning when she heard Mrs. Wang's name, and said, "I didn't tell her."

Seeing that Lin Daiyu was hesitating to speak and using "she" to refer to Mrs. Wang, Jiang Ling guessed something in his heart, so he turned his head and said to the nuns: "Trouble you two nuns, go and see my white fungus and lotus seeds." Is the soup ready?"

A bowl of white fungus and lotus seed soup does not need to be watched by two nuns together, this is the meaning of asking them to avoid it.

The nuns looked at each other with disapproving expressions in their eyes.It's not that the nuns don't know Lin Daiyu, on the contrary, when they were in Rongguo Mansion, the nuns had a good impression of this cousin.But now Jiang Ling is their top priority, and Kangxi told them to follow the imperial concubine every step of the way yesterday, so it was a bit embarrassing.

Lin Daiyu saw what they meant, and said, "No need..."

Jiang Ling raised her hand, stopped Lin Daiyu's words, and smiled at the nuns, "From here to the small kitchen, back and forth, it only takes half a quarter of an hour, it's fine."

The nuns replied hesitantly: "Hey." They retreated together.Before leaving, he still gently opened the door.

Jiang Ling said helplessly, "Don't mind."

Lin Daiyu also smiled, and said: "It's okay, sometimes the prince wants to go far away, and he will tell my nuns like this."

Only then did Jiang Ling relax, adjusted his sitting posture slightly, and asked, "You said just now, what happened to the second wife?"

Because there was no one here, Lin Daiyu no longer hesitated, frowned and complained: "Second aunt is crazy. Ah Ling, you don't know, the last time I went back to Rongguo Mansion, I heard Pearl and the others say that Second Aunt and First Aunt are both here. The idea of ​​moving the things left by my grandmother. Grandma's dowry was quite rich back then. After all these years, the rewards from the palace, the income from the farm outside, and the purchases from the mansion were also quite abundant. After my grandmother passed away, These items were all kept. At first, they were intended to be filled in the public house, but then for some reason, the eldest aunt and second aunt got into a dispute. Until a few days ago, they were still fighting in the mansion. Lian Lian's second sister-in-law I can't persuade you."

Jiang Ling lowered her eyes slightly, thinking to herself, this is what Jia Lian said last time, they want to touch the things left by the old lady.

Lin Daiyu breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Originally, it was not my turn to take care of these matters. But when my grandmother passed away, I went back to accompany Crying Spirit. Almost every time I entered the mansion, I could hear the two aunts and sister-in-law. The two uncles are arguing. One of the two uncles doesn't care about things, and the other is an official outside. This cousin girl who married out did not hide anything. I heard a while ago that they wanted Xiangyun to marry Ningguo Mansion, but later Xiangyun didn't want to, so she ran away. Now even the third sister wants to follow suit. Like Xiangyun, choose a husband-in-law for yourself, so as not to be burdened by the second aunt."

Speaking of this, Lin Daiyu seemed to think of something again, and asked, "Has Second Aunt ever visited you in the palace?"

Jiang Ling didn't know why, but still replied: "There was once, but it was three or four months ago."

A clear expression appeared on Lin Daiyu's face: "That's no wonder. In the past two months, my second aunt has sent people to my place every three days, trying to use my name to enter the palace to see you. It's to see you, not to see you." Concubine, it's really hard to understand. Sometimes the post can't be delivered to me, and I even want to follow the concubine's way. But how can the concubine help the second aunt... So several times, the second aunt was disgruntled Back home. Two days ago, I also heard that the second aunt seemed to be crazy, grabbing people and asking, "How is this possible? Could it be a mistake?" It was hysterical, and it made people very puzzled. "

Two days ago, it happened to be the second day that Jiang Ling was proclaimed as imperial concubine, and she announced it to the world.

Thinking about it, the news should have spread outside the palace at that time.

Jiang Ling secretly wondered if Mrs. Wang would not be hysterical. Not only did the incident completely exceed her expectations, but it also turned in an unpredictable direction.But it's inconvenient to tell Lin Daiyu about these things, so she shook her head and said, "I don't understand either."

"Yeah." Lin Daiyu nodded her head vigorously, and said, "That's why I'm annoyed. The second aunt these days, looks like a different person from the kind-hearted look the day before yesterday. I was about to be frightened by her. Oh, by the way, Ah Ling, I heard that the mansion once thought about recognizing you as a godmother, and even prepared the paperwork, but for some reason, it didn't work out. Do you know?"

Jiang Ling shook his head slowly.

Don't say she didn't know anything about it, even if she knew, she would try to make it unsuccessful.

Lin Daiyu sighed: "That's just wishful thinking in the mansion... That's fine, if you recognize your god-in-law, you don't know what troubles will happen. The current Rongguo Mansion is no longer the original one. Out, sometimes when I go back to the house to visit my grandmother, I always think that I should never go back. No wonder the third girl has such thoughts, after all, the second aunt has really done too much. "

Then he sighed a few more words.

After a while, the two nuns came back and said that Jiang Ling's white fungus and lotus seed soup was still simmering on the stove, and it would take another quarter of an hour to get it.Jiang Ling thanked them with a smile, adjusted her posture again, leaned on the soft pillow, and said, "The root cause of what you mentioned just now probably lies with the second wife. Ayu, no matter what happens in the future, you It's better to stay away from her."

According to the progress of the plot in Dream of Red Mansions, Rongguo Mansion should have been raided as early as the beginning of last year.When Xue Baochai marries Jia Baoyu at the end of the year, Lin Daiyu will... But now, not only has the plot of Rongguo Mansion been delayed for a long time, even the fate of some people has been changed, such as Lin Daiyu and Jia Yingchun.The current Dream of the Red Chamber is no longer the one she has read.

So now, Jiang Ling told Lin Daiyu to stay away from that Mrs. Wang.

It's not because of the plot of Dream of Red Mansions, but because Mrs. Wang really makes people feel shabby these days.

Lin Daiyu heard Jiang Ling's words, for some reason, she shivered again, nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Well, A Ling, you are right, the previous prince also warned me to let me leave People from the Guofu and Ningguofu are farther away, and even the maids in the kitchen were sent back to the Grand View Garden, saying that the Beijing Wangfu could not afford to serve them. Ah Ling, tell me, is something wrong? .”

Jiang Ling paused slightly.

King Jingjing is different from her, he is above the court.

If even the King of Beijing made a move and wanted to separate himself from the people in Rongning Second Mansion, it was probably because——

Something happened again.

Jiang Ling recalled the events of these days, and recalled Kangxi's attitude in recent days, but he didn't find any clues.

But the King of Beijing Jing will not aim at nothing.

Jiang Ling rubbed the center of her brows, feeling a little headache, but after rubbing for a while, she put it down and comforted Lin Daiyu: "No matter if something happened or not, this period is an eventful time, it's better to be more cautious."

Lin Daiyu nodded and said, "Well, you are right."

The two of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, and when Lin Daiyu mentioned that she wanted to see the little elder brother, Jiang Ling responded with a smile, and asked someone to carry the child over.The newborn child was quite small, and was placed next to Jiang Ling by the nanny, a soft ball. Lin Daiyu touched it with her hand, then withdrew her hand again, stared at her fingertips and said, "Ruanrou of."

Jiang Ling looked at her with a smile, and said after a while: "The child has just been born."

Lin Daiyu hummed, then turned her head to look at the baby in the swaddle.Compared with when it was just born a few days ago, the baby has grown a little, and it is no longer the red and wrinkled look before. You can see a little outline of Jiang Ling, but the eyebrows and eyes are like his father.Lin Daiyu looked at him for a long time before murmuring: "Such a small child."

Jiang Ling was amused by her again, stroked the edge of the swaddle, leaned on the soft pillow and looked at them.

After a while, Lin Daiyu turned her attention back to the baby, and said: "Okay, I should leave, the concubine left me lunch, I was afraid of staying here for too long, so I delayed it."

When Jiang Ling heard that the concubine was staying for dinner, it was inconvenient for her to keep Lin Daiyu, so she said, "I'll see you off."

"Oh no." Lin Daiyu said, "Just let the mothers take me out. You are still in confinement, but you can't get wind." After saying that, she smiled at a mother, "I'm sorry, mother."

That nanny understood, and also took two steps forward, leading the way: "Princess, please."

Jiang Ling looked at Lin Daiyu with a smile, and asked the nuns to send her away without forcing her.

After Lin Daiyu left, the nuns went back into the room and asked Jiang Ling: "Master, should we send someone out to watch the second wife and the mansion?"

Before Jiang Ling could open his mouth, he heard a shrill voice outside, "The emperor is here—"

It's Kangxi.

Jiang Ling could only put aside the matter of Mrs. Wang for the time being, and lay quietly on the couch, waiting for the emperor to arrive.

After a while, a bright yellow figure appeared in the field of vision.Still wearing a dragon robe, it was obvious that he had just come from Qianqing Palace.Jiang Ling got up slowly, slid off the bed, and saluted: "The emperor is safe."
