[Red Mansion + Liaozhai] Furong repays her kindness

When Xue Baochai entered the palace, it was different from the time of the draft. A few days ago, the palace nuns came to teach the rules, and when the time came, the palace sent someone to pick them up.Xue Baochai was nervous and almost stayed up all night.Under Mammy's advice, Ying'er changed her into a lake-green jacket and skirt, and because she was old enough, she tied her hair into a generous bun, with nothing more than a jasper hairpin on it.

Fortunately, Xue Baochai usually dresses so plainly, and she doesn't lose her color.

Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang sent her out in person, and Aunt Xue couldn't stop telling her, "It's no better than home, be careful in everything, don't be reluctant to spend money, it doesn't matter if you use all the purses I prepared for you, wait until you go home I will prepare it for you again, and you must not lose the big because of the small."

Because she was just reading with her, not a maid of honor, Xue Baochai also had one day to go home when the princess rested for bathing every five days.

Xue Baochai was calm and composed, "Mother, don't worry, my daughter has never been such a shallow-eyed person. There is an older brother in the family who is leading the door, so you don't have to worry about it, so you can have a better life."

Aunt Xue's eyes turned red, "If your brother was as sensible as you, I would die willingly."

Xue Baochai wanted to persuade her again, but when she saw that the nanny beside her seemed impatient, she hurriedly said, "Mammy, let's go now."

Aunt Xue couldn't help crying when she saw that she had gone out of the second door, but Mrs. Wang persuaded, "My sister has been planning for so long, isn't it just for today? Bao girl is now promising, we should be happy for her."

But in my heart, I don't think so, the rank and treatment are the same as the female history, what is the difference from Yuanchun back then, let alone being with the eldest princess, no matter how beautiful Bao girl is, no father will ask for a girl beside his daughter.

"I'm going to trouble my sister this time. When I was preparing for Bao girl, I also prepared some for Yuan Chun. My sister sent it to her. She has a lot of money and a comfortable life." Aunt Xue said, now they still have to rely on Jia's house , In the end, we still need to manage more.

"Then I would like to thank my sister, and we are the only sisters who worry about their two girls. Yuan Chun is being favored now, and it's okay to send something at home. I thank you on Yuan Chun's behalf." Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue entered the room, while Thinking about what Aunt Xue would give, he just took this opportunity to go back and talk to Yuan Chun.

It is false to say that Xue Baochai is not nervous, but she has been slapped, and the queen has seen it too. This palace is a place where highs and lows are bullied and the weak are feared. The more timid you are, the easier it is for others to look down upon you. .

She was guessing what the Royal Princess was learning in class, but she didn't expect that in the Eldest Princess Palace, the Eldest Princess smiled triumphantly, "I'll take a rest today, let's go to Dongping Palace to play."

King Dongping is one of the four kings with different surnames, and Princess Dongping is Princess Mingwei of Zhijun Wang's family. In Xue Baochai's perception, Dongping Palace is one of the four kings and eight kilometers away, and there is nothing else.

Ming Wei was eating fruit with her two sister-in-laws. Mu Ying, the young princess of the Xining Palace, acted like a baby next to her sister-in-law. Hearing the news that the eldest princess was coming, she hurriedly stood up and said, "It's over, it's over, the eldest princess is here, I'll go first." Go to my house and hide things."

She was still young, Ming Wei didn't take her to the Tanabata Banquet, and the other sister-in-law Mu Ling who brought her along hadn't been titled yet, and everyone in the house called her San Miss, so she gave Mu Ying a mocking look.

Ming Wei was annoyed by her gloomy look the most, she pretended not to notice her, and coaxed Mu Ying, "Why are you running around, the Eldest Princess can't eat you."

Mu Ying pouted, "Last time I snatched my vase to shoot arrows."

"I'll open the warehouse and give you two tomorrow." Ming Wei said.

Just as he was talking, the eldest princess had already been welcomed in. Xue Baochai and the eldest princess' personal maid, Lu Liu, stood behind her.

Ming Wei hastily brought a group of people up to meet her. She hadn't been married for long, and she was too familiar with the eldest princess, but it was Mu Ying who played with her together and got to know her very well. She still pouted and said, "You just chose Read with you, if you don’t study hard, what do you come to my house for?”

"Looking for you to play." The eldest princess took Ming Wei's seat just now, and Ming Wei sat next to her, and said to Xue Baochai, "Miss Xue, please sit down too."

Xue Baochai bowed his knees and thanked him for sitting, but in the end he was arranged to sit next to Mu Ling.Mu Ling's face was very ugly.Facing the scrutiny of a group of female relatives, Xue Baochai just lowered her head and remained silent. Mu Ling faked a smile and said, "Miss Xue is really a beautiful person, no wonder the princess recognized it at a glance. It's just that I don't know which lady from the Xue family. It was the first time I saw it."

When she said this, there was a moment of silence.

Xue Baochai didn't dare to speak without authorization, and could hear the eldest princess say, "Miss Lin said it last time, but I don't remember it, you can tell it yourself."

Xue Baochai said yes, and said back to Mu Ling, "The civilian girl belongs to the royal merchant Xue's family, and she doesn't have the opportunity to meet nobles on weekdays."

"I said why I don't remember such a beautiful beauty." Mu Ling looked at Xue Baochai for a while, and then said, "If the princess thinks that Miss Xue is attracted to her, she might as well give some more things as a meeting gift."

Ming Wei sneered in her heart, and pointed at Mu Ling with a smile, "She doesn't speak, and you ask for rewards for her. Since I gave something, you can't be soft, or the eldest princess will see her, and see if she can't treat her well." cure you."

The eldest princess said, "Yes, everyone has to give a meeting gift, I'll just watch here."

Mu Ying glanced at her, "I hate it." She asked someone to fetch a pair of sideburns from the house, and Ming Wei's was a Duan inkstone, "Miss Xue is accompanied by the princess, this is the most suitable for you to study with."

Mu Ling's gift was the lightest, a delicate golden hairpin. "There are many rules in the palace, so I dare not give it indiscriminately. Even if I give it to Miss Xue, it's not easy to wear it. It's just a thought."

Xue Baochai was in a hurry and thanked En again, thinking that this rank was too low, and it was a bit like Shi Xiangyun.The concubines and princesses on the opposite side are all dressed in gorgeous and dignified clothes, and they have a good time talking with the eldest princess. She used to be the leader among the sisters, but now it is the grace of the princess when she sits quietly. Only I know all kinds of feelings in my heart.

Mu Ying and the eldest princess couldn't sit still, Mu Ying tugged at the princess's sleeve, "I'll take the princess for a walk in the garden, sister-in-law, let's rest."

Mingwei called the big girl beside her and said, "Let them go and take care of it first. Although you are familiar with the princess, it is inevitable that some rules and regulations are easy to be neglected. If you are brought out to talk about things, it is our palace. gone."

Mu Ling got up and said, "I'll go with the eldest princess."

When I went there, the eldest princess and Mu Ying walked in the front, and Xue Baochai and Lu Liu were in the back.Mu Ying and the Eldest Princess have a lot to say, and Luliu has the habit of many Eldest Princesses whispering to Xue Baochai. Mu Ling walking in the middle alone is boring.

After walking a few steps, I saw a gazebo standing leisurely on the flowing water waterfall, which felt a bit left out of the world. The eldest princess stretched out her hand and said, "Time is not rich, let's just sit on it. Just take a look at the scenery in the garden.”

He turned his head again and said, "Mu Ling, you don't need to accompany me, Yingying is enough."

Mu Lingshi made a salute, "Since the princess said it, I will follow you, but I still have to let the refreshment fruit be left to me, otherwise it will spread, not to mention the princess, even my brother can't spare me."

"Then I'll trouble you. Very good, this saves me time." Mu Ying smiled, took the princess's arm, and the two walked up the path on the rockery.

The rocks are dotted with unknown Youlan Zhicao, which smells fragrant and elegant. Xue Baochai looked at the graceful figures of the two girls in front of her, and felt as if she had met Luoshen Yaoji in a trance. And the arrogance is completely forgotten.

There was only one stone table and four round stools in the pavilion, Xue Baochai naturally had a place, the eldest princess looked at several people lined up outside the pavilion, and couldn't help frowning, "It's fine to keep two servants, this is to block the light." , or to block the wind?"

Mu Ying glanced at the words, and the most capable maid had already gone to prepare tea with Mu Ling, and said, "You take the green willow to rest and drink tea, there is no need for these people to serve you here."

When the people walked away, Mu Ying turned her eyes and stared at the eldest princess, frowning again, "What's the matter? It's so hard for me to come here, you're hesitant to speak. "

"I heard what my concubine and sister-in-law said." Mu Ying turned her head and looked at Xue Baochai seriously, "Although you have only just come to the princess, you are still one of us. I have listened to this matter. , it’s not good to hide it from you, you... you should be more careful about your cousin."

Xue Baochai's heart tightened, the panic and confusion in her eyes could not be covered, she hurriedly stood up and leaned over and said, "I also ask the princess to enlighten me."

Mu Ying looked Xue Baochai up and down, took her by the hand and sat her back, and said in a low voice, "You are a cheapskate like Mu Ling, why did you reward you for no reason today? This is your cousin's credit. Your cousin You are very favored in Xining Palace, I heard that you are often praised to Princess Xining."

"After you think it over, I'm confused." The eldest princess glared at her, "The most important thing! Don't make a lot of miscellaneous things every time, and you will be confused again later."

Mu Ying pursed her lips and blinked her eyes twice, she was mischievous and cute, Xue Baochai felt a little relieved when she saw it, but she said again when she heard it, "It turns out that when Miss Xue was drafting, the Xining Palace wanted you to be a concubine. Brother Xining promised her concubine that she would let you be her companion, but it is a pity that the eldest princess interfered with it, and you sisters will not be able to reunite."

She was joking, but Xue Baochai's face paled in an instant. She was usually commensurate with Jia Yuanchun's sister, and her friendship was even stronger than that of Sanchun. But does anyone expect their sister to be a concubine in the palace?

The Eldest Princess said, "Before the selection of the queen mother is finished, someone has taken the idea of ​​Xiu Nu, it's really funny..."

"That's right, brother Xining is really... either under the control of the concubine or the concubine, and he doesn't know how to be the master of the house at all." Because of Ming Wei's entry into the mansion, Mu Ying was caught by the new sister-in-law and locked up in the prison. The palace has learned a lot, but it is a pity that it has been said since ancient times: the country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change. She is still like a big princess, and she speaks without restraint.

Xue Baochai's face became even more gray. The eldest princess raised her hand and stuffed the tea that the maid first brought her into Xue Baochai's hand, "Don't pay attention to her, she just likes to talk nonsense. Now you are my companion, who dares to snatch you away."

"Teacher can explain that I'm going to test you..." Before Mu Ying finished speaking, she saw the eldest princess stare, "Don't remind me! Why, I can't pass without you?"

"No, no... The princess is very talented, and she learns from others' strengths. It's just a quiz..." Mu Ying waved her hand, "But without me cheating for you, you just can't pass."

"You are getting more and more annoying!" The eldest princess raised her hand and slapped Mu Ying, "I think you need your sister-in-law to teach you the rules, and if you can't learn them, you will be locked in a small black room!"

Mu Yingsu and the eldest princess have always been tit for tat like a black-eyed chicken. It was the first time Xue Baochai saw her, even though her heart was full of sorrow, she couldn't help laughing, but Mu Ying rolled her eyes, "You are laughing at the princess. ?”

"Menwomen dare not..."

Standing in the distance, Mu Ling looked up at the three flower-like daughters in the pavilion, her eyes fixed on the eldest princess's face for a long time without moving.

The eldest princess is keen, aware of her gaze, and looked back lightly, Mu Ying also followed her gaze, shook her head and said, "It's weird, she has such a weird temper."

The eldest princess raised her sleeves and said, "It's getting late, let's hurry up and play."

Mu Ying suddenly became nervous, "What are you playing?"

"Let's play archery. I remember you still have a purple jade vase. It must be too small to shoot."

"What's wrong with shooting! Then you can't shoot!"

The eldest princess turned around and went down the rockery first. Mu Ying hurriedly followed behind her, muttering, "His Royal Highness, please let go of that bottle? Can you hit my brother? He doesn't like that, hit my sister-in-law." It’s okay, she has a lot.”

Looking down at the stone steps, the jasper hairpin in her hair complements Xue Baochai's beauty more and more. In her sight is the Qiluo skirt that appears and disappears in front of her. She smiles wryly, sometimes one step is a lifetime, and she can't cross it in her whole life up step.

Xue Baochai felt that her originally clear aspirations for Qingyun had fallen into confusion.
