Yongzheng period

"Then invite him in."

After hearing this, Xueyan nodded her head indiscriminately, wiped her tears and ran out in a hurry, and brought Jiang Zhongmin in after a while.

Daiyu signaled Zijuan to face the damaged part forward, and said softly, "Director Jiang, look."

Seeing this, Jiang Zhongmin knelt down immediately, and said in a trembling voice, "The servant is not doing well, please forgive me."

Daiyu only said, "Boss Jiang, the auspicious clothes sent by the House of Internal Affairs are actually damaged. If you investigate it, you will not be able to get rid of it." Well, it's time for her to take a good look at these servants present today.

Daiyu then said sincerely, "But I am looking for you now, not to punish you, but to hope that you can share my worries and see if there is a remedy."

"Return to your mother's words," Jiang Zhongmin hesitated, "this canonized auspicious clothes are woven by weavers with gold and silver threads, and the silk threads used are only enough to weave this one. If you want to mend it, I'm afraid you will have to reopen the warehouse." He didn't say the rest of the words, and Daiyu knew it well: if it really reopened the warehouse, it would never be possible to have enough time without such a big fanfare.

It's just that... Daiyu's thoughts were a little heavy, and she couldn't figure out the queen's intentions even more—the queen wasted so much time and energy on a piece of clothing, wasn't it just to make her look ugly once?And the queen's stumbling block is second, the most important thing is the emperor's attitude.

Daiyu has been suppressing those uneasy feelings in her heart - she is extremely afraid that the reason why the emperor treats her well is the same as the reason he treated Concubine Hua, and Concubine Yu's words are also unbelievable to her - she does not want to gamble I dare not gamble on the emperor's friendship.

Daiyu tried her best to calm the turbulent emotions in her heart, thinking about the speech skills Yongzheng gave her in his spare time, and tried her best to make her tone sound calm and peaceful, "I am going to the empress's palace right now. Xie En, do you have any other emergency solutions, Father-in-Law?"

"Here, there is a way." Jiang Zhongmin thought for a while, and said, "Two days ago, Miss Huichun in the Queen's Palace took a piece of clothing to mend. This one is very similar to mine, but if you replace it, it should be worth it."

Daiyu asked back, "Can I?" In fact, it is best to borrow clothes from Concubine Yu or Concubine Jing, but at this time the auspicious time is approaching, people may have already waited in Kunning Palace, and they have gone to their palace to borrow clothes for nothing , it is also time-consuming to explain.

Jiang Zhongmin said, "That dress looks a little old, and I don't know who wore it before. It must have been worn by Fujin on one side of the mansion. For some reason, it was put in the empress's warehouse by accident. Medium. So it was repaired and there was no rush to ask for it. It has been stored for two days, and now only that one can make up for it.”

Xueyan listened to the matter and had a solution, so she relaxed and said anxiously, "Since we can make it through, why don't we go quickly?"

"Wait a minute," Daiyu frowned, worried, "Could that dress be the empress's old clothes? If so, it's a matter of urgency, and I shouldn't wear it."

"This, I don't know, and Miss Huichun didn't explain clearly when she brought the clothes." Jiang Zhongmin lowered his head again, and said, "It's just that the style and color of the clothes are very different from what the empress usually wears. It's not the empress's favorite style. It shouldn't be worn by the empress, if so, why didn't Miss Huichun instruct our Ministry of Internal Affairs? It has been put on hold for so many days and she didn't come to pick it up."

Daiyu thought about it for a while, but still felt something was wrong.There is nothing else to do at the moment, so I can only say, "Then please take the clothes back from the manager."

"Hey." Jiang Zhongmin responded, and hurried out to do business.

But Zijuan always felt uneasy in her heart, "The old clothes sent by the empress from the palace, can that be okay-?" How could the empress just sit back and watch her empress be favored?This happened so coincidentally that the only emergency clothes were the old clothes sent by the maids in the queen's palace, and Zijuan instinctively felt that there was something weird about it.

Daiyu didn't care about it for a while, she had been holding her heart just now, and now she relaxed and realized that there was a circle of cold sweat on her forehead, her head was dizzy, her abdomen was also slightly cramped, and her mind was in chaos.

Her body could not help but sway, Zijuan and Xueyan were so frightened that they hurried forward to support her.Zijuan worried, "If your mother is not feeling well, you should call the imperial doctor first."

"It's okay," Daiyu calmed down, and said in a low voice, "I'm just exhausted physically and mentally, so I'll be fine if I take a rest."

After a while, Jiang Zhongmin brought over the temporary replacement clothes, and Daiyu hurriedly changed them on. After a closer look, the clothes were old in style but not bad in quality and style. The only flaw was the style. It is too big, which does not match Daiyu's figure.

"Okay," Daiyu also breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly put on the armor, "it's important to go to Kunning Palace quickly, let's go."——No matter what conspiracy the queen has, she can't care about those right now.

Kunning Palace

"It's all bad for concubines," the queen rubbed her forehead wearily, while Huichun carefully rubbed the back of the queen's head, "Suddenly a headache strikes, I'm afraid it will delay the auspicious time."

Yongzheng adjusted his imperial crown, and when he heard the words, he just said indifferently, "It's okay, I won't go out until you are better." Because today is the ceremony at the Kunning Palace, Yongzheng intended to stay with the queen last night, but that Tong Seeing that he has never set up Longkodo, the family thinks there is a gap to take advantage of, and has frequently acted recently.Yongzheng had no choice but to review papers in the side hall of Kunning Palace last night, seeing the courtiers busy until late at night, so he had time to rest for two hours this morning.At this moment, I still feel sleepy and sluggish, and I really don't have the heart to deal with the empress with good words.

When the queen heard Yongzheng's flat tone, her complexion was a little uneasy, and it happened that Jianqiu came over and said, "Your majesty, empress, concubine Hui has arrived."

After hearing this, the queen reluctantly said, "Why don't you go first, Your Majesty, and the concubine will come later."

"Okay," Yongzheng said casually, "Then I'll go out and have a look first."

The empress stared at Yongzheng's back, and angrily knocked off Huichun's hand, thinking about the embarrassment of Concubine Hui who would offend Yongzheng, the gloom in her heart would dissipate for a while, and she thought she was fighting with softness After all, it is difficult to win a game.

When Yongzheng walked out of the dormitory, he saw Daiyu's back silhouetted through the bright yellow curtain, looking extraordinarily quiet and demure.Yongzheng only looked at her, and the fatigue in his heart from being busy with government affairs seemed to have eased a lot. The corner of his mouth raised an expectant smile, and he walked forward briskly.

The figure with his back to him seemed to have heard the footsteps behind him, and turned around slowly with a polite demeanor. This scene was familiar even though it was blurred, and the person behind the curtain was so bright that it dazzled the eyes. The auspicious clothes, this image of the original body's longing and dreaming suddenly appeared in Yongzheng's mind in an instant.

"My majesty is blessed with peace and prosperity," the man saluted slowly, "Concubine Lin Jia Daiyu, see the emperor."

Yongzheng suddenly changed his face.

Yongzheng lifted the curtain in front of his eyes, and the person in front of him was completely in his sight. He stared at the auspicious clothes on Daiyu's body, his eyes were obscure, and he didn't say a word.

Daiyu couldn't help feeling uneasy, she leaned down again, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty—?"

Yong was expressionless. He forcibly suppressed the pain in his head that seemed to explode for a moment. He barely held back the feeling of wanting to be furious, and said violently, "Where did you get this clothes?"

Daiyu was taken aback, this was the first time Yongzheng spoke to her in such a tone, at this time there was a faint pain in the abdomen, Daiyu turned pale for a moment, "The concubine is arrogant, it is because the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent me The auspicious clothes were damaged, and the concubines did not dare to delay the auspicious time, so they wore the old concubine clothes that the empress empress sent to the House of Internal Affairs to mend. But arrogance is true, but please punish the emperor—I just hope that the emperor will not get angry, so as to damage the body of the dragon."

The commotion in the front hall was so loud that it naturally alarmed the queen who was waiting in the inner hall.She rushed over, "Your Majesty..." Looking at the auspicious clothes on Concubine Hui who was kneeling on the ground, she was shocked, "Ah——! How could this be—! Echun! How could this be? ——!?”

Hui Chun was also panicked, unable to speak in tune, "A few days ago, the empress was sorting out the old clothes of Empress Xiaoding, and found that two pearls were missing from these clothes, and the silk thread was also given away... Let the servants go to the house The mansion was mended, and the maidservant wanted to find time to get it back! Who knows, I have forgotten many things in the past two days..." At this point, Huichun was already crying, "The maidservant really doesn't know why this dress is here. Concubine Hui's body!"

Huichun hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty, "I beg the emperor and queen to make amends—!"

The more she listened, Daiyu's heart sank more and more. When Xiaoding was still alive, Yongzheng and Empress Yuan were so affectionate as husband and wife. I heard a lot of taboos.At this time, she was thinking about the warm scene when she was with Yongzheng in the past, and on the other hand, she was thinking sourly about his affair with the Empress Yuan.

I only heard the queen reprimanding Huichun loudly, "You are stupid! How many times have I told you to take good care of Queen Xiaoding's things! You have ignored him!" At this point, the queen took a deep breath and pointed at Daiyu. The auspicious clothes on his body said, "I don't care about other clothes, but this one! This is what my sister wore when she first met the emperor—!"

"That's enough!" Yongzheng rubbed his brows irritably to feel better. He was about to say something more when he saw the queen turn around and plead for Concubine Hui with a regretful face, "Concubine Hui is always cautious, it must not be intentional
