[Red Mansion] Married by decree

All concubines in the palace must ask for the Ping'an pulse every half a month, but this is the day when Jia Yuanchun asks for the Ping'an pulse.

Today, people in Concubine Xiande's palace found that their master was often distracted.Ever since I greeted the Queen Mother and came back, I have been distracted.When reading a book, I don't know if the book is removed.When drinking tea, I drank from an empty cup.

"Miss, are you alright?"

"Hmm... I'm fine. Baoqin, go and see if the doctor who asked for peace has come?"

"Your Majesty, the doctor won't be here until an hour later."

"I see, the tea is cold, you can change it for me."

"The slave is going here."

Baoqin was a court lady who was sent to serve Yuanchun after Yuanchun became a concubine.She wasn't called this name at first, but after she came, she was given this name by Yuan Chun.Because she was serving her personally, she was accepted by Yuan Chun when she was talented, and she gained Yuan Chun's trust.

An hour later, the doctor came on time to ask Jia Yuanchun for a pulse.Yuan Chun looked a little nervous, and when the doctor took her pulse, he even stared at the hand on his pulse.

In the imperial study room, the emperor and Yunze were discussing matters.A eunuch suddenly came in, and after he stood still, he knelt down to pay his respects to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the eunuch in Concubine Xiande's palace has come to report that Concubine Xiande is pregnant."

"You said Concubine Xiande is pregnant?"

"Back to the emperor, yes. I found out when I asked for the Ping An pulse today, and it has been a month and a half."

"Reward according to the regulations. In addition, go find Zhao Taiji."

"I'll do it, slave." It wasn't the eunuch kneeling below who answered, but Eunuch Ling who was beside the emperor.

"Brother Huang, the matter is almost discussed. Since Brother Huang has something to deal with, I will leave first."

As soon as Yunze heard that the emperor wanted to invite an imperial physician, he knew that Jia Yuanchun's pregnancy was strange.Although he was the emperor's younger brother, it was better not to listen to the matter of the concubines in the harem, so he left directly.

"You should hurry up and do that."

"The younger brother will arrange it now."

Today is not the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, nor is it an important day.But Daiyu had someone tidy up early in the morning, and then went to the temple outside the city.

Daiyu went this time, but she traveled alone, she didn't bring anyone else except her two maidservants, and she didn't go with Mrs. Zhao or Mrs. Zhao.

Because, this time I went to the temple for Lin Ruhai.

Daiyu once set up a death tablet for Lin Ruhai, so it is very difficult to return to Yangzhou after entering Beijing this time.So he planned to invite the tablet of the past life to the capital.

When asking for a memorial tablet, people calculated the time of departure and the time of arriving at the current temple.Today is the day for the ceremony.

When Daiyu arrived, Lin Ruhai's death tablet had not been placed yet.Since we changed temples, we had to make sacrifices first.

In the room, the master sat on Putan, chanting Buddhist scriptures, and Lin Ruhai's death tablet was placed on the desk not far away.Daiyu was not allowed to enter the room, so she waited outside with Youlan and others.

Through the black gauze veiled hat, Daiyu's expression was expressionless.But there is no such sadness as when Lin Ruhai just passed away. Time is enough to blow away all the pain and smooth out all the scars.

Lin Ruhai is still Daiyu's father, and Daiyu's memory and affection for him will always be unique and will never be forgotten in her life.

It's just that the most important thing to Daiyu right now is not Lin Ruhai, but the Zhao family, the Yi parents, Yi grandmother and two younger brothers who sincerely regard her as family.

It is said that how the living compare with the dead.In fact, how can the dead compare with the living?The dead will only live in memory forever, but the living will always appear by your side.

After more than ten years, you may not remember what the person in your memory looks like, but you can remember the appearance of the people around you clearly.

After everything was dealt with, it was getting late, and it was less than half an hour before dark.At this time, of course, he couldn't return to the capital.Fortunately, Mrs. Zhao and Steward Lin both bought Zhuangzi outside the city, one of which was not far from the temple.

Seeing that Daiyu hadn't come back for a long time, Mrs. Zhao guessed that Daiyu might not be able to come back today.Then she sent a few servants over, and when the servants arrived, Daiyu sent them to Zhuangzi to tidy up first.

When Daiyu arrived, it was already dark.When Daiyu's carriage approached, she saw a yard.The courtyard is relatively dark, and it can be seen that there is no one living there.But at the door, someone was waiting there with a lamp.

Seeing Daiyu's carriage stop, the man hurried forward and brought the lamp closer so that Daiyu could see more clearly.

"Girl, the yard has been tidied up."

"You lead the way ahead."

This Zhuangzi is not big, there are only two entrances and two exits.After entering Zhuangzi, there was no sedan chair waiting, but Daiyu walked to her yard.

There are some darkness along the way, and a mere lamp is not enough to illuminate the whole road.It didn't become bright until she reached the yard where she was going to live.The courtyard was brightly lit, which seemed out of tune with the surrounding darkness.

There were several women guarding in the yard, and they all saluted Daiyu when she came in.

When those servants came, they came with Daiyu's other big maid.At this time, she was not among these people, but inside the house.

When Daiyu opened the door, she was laying a mattress for Daiyu.The quilts, etc. are also brand new, but they have not been exposed to the sun because of the haste.

Daiyu didn't have dinner in the afternoon, so after Youlan came, she went to the kitchen for a walk.Because there was no master there, there was no food in the kitchen, and the only ingredients were the servants who guarded the manor.These things are rough for Daiyu.

Youlan had no choice but to cook sweet porridge for Daiyu in the end, Daiyu was probably really hungry and ate the whole bowl.

Early the next morning, Daiyu went back to the city.Not long after she came back, Mrs. Zhao came looking for her.

"How did Yu'er rest yesterday?"

"Daiyu was fine yesterday, but it made my mother-in-law worry."

"That's good, Yu'er..."

Naturally, Mrs. Zhao did not come here to ask Daiyu what happened yesterday, but she came to see Daiyu with other matters, and she didn't know what to say when she asked.

"What's the matter, mother-in-law?"

"Yu'er, it's not that Yimu wants to stop you from going to Rongguo Mansion. It's just that you'd better stay away recently."

"What happened to my grandmother's house?"

"It's not convenient for your mother-in-law to discuss this matter in front of you. You just have to remember that this period of time will be farther away."

As a mother-in-law of the Zhao family, it is really not easy to talk about the right and wrong of the Rongguo Mansion in front of Daiyu. It is not appropriate to say it anyway, so she doesn't open her mouth to mention it.

"Youlan, go and invite Xiangzhu over here."

After Mrs. Zhao left, Daiyu asked Youlan to invite Xiangzhu.Today, my mother-in-law came as soon as I came back, it could only be because of what happened yesterday.Xiangzhu didn't go out of the temple with him yesterday, so he must know what happened.

"Xiangzhu, let me ask you, what happened in the Rongguo Mansion yesterday?"

"Girl, it's actually not a big deal, it's just that the elder and second masters in the mansion are fighting for the Rongxi Hall."

"The second uncle didn't inherit the title, and it's really inappropriate to live in the Rongxi Hall all the time. It's just that the first uncle also endured what my grandmother said at that time. Why did you get into trouble yesterday?"

"I heard that the elder of the mansion has been favored since that day when he joined the county king of Xining, and the eldest lady is also proud." This time the incident was quite big, and the servants of the Rongguo Mansion couldn't control it. Honestly, even today, everyone basically knows what happened.

"A few days ago, the eldest lady suddenly proposed to move into Rongxi Hall. Although the old lady didn't like it, she could only agree. Only yesterday, the old lady and the second lady of the Rongguo Mansion went to the palace to visit Concubine Xiande, and found that Concubine Xiande was pregnant. gone."

"Is the eldest cousin pregnant?"

"That's what I said, but I don't know if it's true or not."

Everything below is logical, Madam Wang knows that Yuan Chun is pregnant with a dragon heir, so she has the confidence.After returning home, there was a commotion. The house had been moved halfway, and the servants had to move the things back again.

If it was before, Mrs. Xing might have just endured it.But now Mrs. Xing wouldn't listen, she just brought the maid to the door.

It is well known that the two had a quarrel, and it was not a day or two that Jia's mother was partial to the second wife. A few days ago, Jia Amnesty gained power, so she couldn't bear it.Now that Yuanchun is pregnant, in Jia's mother's view, the eldest house is not as powerful as the second house.

After the two quarreled with the old lady, Mother Jia naturally helped the second room.When Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng came back, they were still arguing.No, now Jia Amnesty is directly clamoring for a separation.

It doesn't make any difference to Daiyu whether the Rongguo Mansion is divided or not, and she naturally doesn't care.After hearing what happened that day, Daiyu didn't pay attention to the follow-up.

Since Daiyu came to the capital, she often went to the palace to accompany the Queen Mother.Today, the Empress Dowager announced Daiyu to enter the palace again.

Because Yuanchun was pregnant, Daiyu naturally had to prepare some congratulatory gifts.It's just that there are many congratulatory gifts in the palace, so Daiyu called Xiangzhu over again to discuss with herself.

Daiyu and Xiangzhu looked and looked at the list of items in the private warehouse, and finally chose a pendant of ammolite.Ammolites imply: blessing, wealth, longevity, happiness, and wealth, and they are also extremely beautiful in appearance.Its price is not particularly expensive, but it is also very suitable for gift giving.

Later, Xiangzhu brought Daiyu a gift box, but it was not a wooden brocade box, but a jade box.The box wasn't too big, but it was big enough to hold the ammolite pendant.

Although wooden brocade boxes are better, they are also easy to manipulate.Xiangzhu knew that Daiyu had been tricked twice, so he was more careful when choosing the box.

Daiyu went to the palace a lot, and got acquainted with some concubines and princesses.Today I met the Fifth Princess in the Empress Dowager's Palace. The Fifth Princess and Daiyu have somewhat similar temperaments, so they can be regarded as friends now.

The two stayed with the queen mother for a long time, and the queen mother was also tired, so she asked them to go to the imperial garden together.After leaving the palace gate, Xiangzhu secretly tugged La Daiyu's clothes.

Daiyu looked at Xiangzhu suspiciously, only to see Xiangzhu supporting the jade box in his hand, and then looked in the direction of the fifth princess.Daiyu and Xiangzhu have been together for a long time, and there is a tacit understanding between them. Seeing this, Daiyu naturally understands what Xiangzhu means.

This is for her to invite the fifth princess to go with her to Jia Yuanchun to give gifts.Although Daiyu felt that this move was too cautious, she opened her mouth.

"Fifth Princess, Daiyu heard that Concubine Xiande is pregnant, so she brought a congratulatory gift. She is not familiar with this palace, but she doesn't know where Concubine Xiande lives. I wonder if Fifth Princess can find someone to bring Daiyu there. After giving the presents, Daiyu will go to the Imperial Garden with the Fifth Princess."

"This Xiande concubine lives in the same palace as my concubine. Since you don't know the way, I will go with you, and I happen to visit some Xiande concubines."

"That's why I would like to thank the fifth princess."

When Daiyu and the two arrived, Jia Yuanchun had just returned from the outside, she was enthusiastic when she saw Daiyu, and hurriedly asked someone to serve tea for the two of them. Naturally, someone served a cup in front of Jia Yuanchun.

Yuan Chun picked up the cup and took a sip, and found that the water in his cup was clear water, so he put the cup down directly.Instead, he opened his mouth and asked the maid for a cup of tea.

"Your Majesty, you are pregnant, how can you drink tea?"

"I'm used to drinking tea, but I forgot that I was pregnant at the moment." Yuan Chun smiled and opened his mouth, and even touched his unconcealed belly deliberately.

"Daiyu has not yet congratulated the empress on her pregnancy with the dragon heir. This is a little wish from Daiyu. I hope the empress will not dislike her."

"We are all aunts and sisters. How can a sister dislike her sister's things?"

As Jia Yuanchun said that, he winked at Baoqin, Baoqin understood, and went to Daiyu to take the jade box.When Baoqin took the jade box, he didn't hold it firmly.

Seeing that the jade box was about to fall, Daiyu who was closest reached out to pick it up.Finally on the way, he caught the jade box.
