The Double Soul of Red Mansions

Chapter 46 Contradictions

From Daiyu's point of view, Mian Sheng might just meet her own father, but from other people's point of view, the grace in it is not comparable to that of ordinary people.

So as soon as Daiyu came back, she was surrounded by many servants who were resting.

"Miss Lin, I didn't expect you to be so favored!"

"I just said that Miss Lin is not an ordinary person at first glance. How can the person whom the Holy Majesty likes be so bad?"

"Isn't that right, Miss Lin is full of extravagance in her gestures, but it's definitely not comparable to ordinary people!"

"Miss Lin, what did the Holy Majesty tell you to do?"

.....

Jiang Huilan and Xue Baochai stood aside, looking at the faces of these people who often talk about other people behind their backs, and said with a sneer: "It's really powerful."

Xue Baochai nodded slightly and said nothing. She looked at Wu Qingqing and Zhou Jinlan who were also standing aside, and sighed for herself. They had backgrounds and they were not rare at all, but she was really rare, but that was all she could do.A few days ago, she was a little eager for success, which made sister Lin somewhat resistant, but now she pays attention to this measure.

"That's enough, do you still look good?" Eunuch De looked at the people surrounding Daiyu and said angrily, "Look at your appearance, how dignified you are! Get rid of me!"

Lin Daiyu breathed a sigh of relief as she looked at the dispersed crowd. These people were simply too much to bear.

Looking at Eunuch De gratefully, Daiyu nodded slightly as an expression of gratitude.

Eunuch De smiled, and thought that the sage really gave the Lin family face, it seems that he will take care of this girl more in the future.He and the imperial concubine don't need to stand in line, they just need to stand in a united front with the emperor, then the glory for the rest of their lives can be guaranteed, so he can see this clearly.

"Yu'er, are you okay? These people are simply crazy." Jiang Huilan is an acquaintance, and the two of them have been together for a year, but the difference is only a month. Even closer than Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu.

Daiyu shook her head and said, "Be cautious in your words and deeds, you forgot again!"

Jiang Huilan smiled embarrassedly and said, "I always forget."

Xue Baochai poked Jiang Huilan's forehead with his hand and said, "You, you have to change your temper in the palace."

After speaking, he looked at Daiyu and said, "Is there nothing wrong?"

"It's okay." Daiyu smiled.

Baochai wanted to ask too many things in her heart, but when the words came to her lips, her reason still made her swallow them.All day long, she was absent-minded, thinking about how she should stand out from the twenty or so people next.

Now that her family is down and down, Xue Baochai knows that the only one she can rely on is herself.

Looking at the majestic main hall in the distance, Baochai thought that someone from Xue's family could stand there every day to go to court and enter politics.

It's a pity that my brother can't count on it.

Baochai clenched her hands tightly into her sleeves, and she said to herself that one day, she would revive the Xue family.

That night, Baochai couldn't sleep for a long time.

Listening to the slight breathing of her roommate Jiang Huilan, Baochai felt envious, such a person has no heart and lungs, and lives so wantonly.

Reaching out for her own clothes and putting them on, Baochai took out a shawl from the closet, and walked out of the room lightly.The surroundings were quiet and everyone was falling asleep. Baochai raised her head and looked at the moon in the sky and smiled slightly. She had already entered the palace, and she would never leave easily.

Baochai followed the moonlight, walked along the stone-paved path, passed through the side door, and came to the small garden where Daiyu had been a few days ago.

"After the matter is completed, the prince will definitely not treat you badly." A low male voice came from the small forest beside Baochai. Baochai took a deep breath and froze in place, not knowing whether to advance or retreat. .Did she run into some secret?

Baochai weighed the gains and losses in her heart, and soon decided to leave quietly. What she has to do now is to protect herself, and she must not get involved in some secrets.

"Brother Ruan, why did the prince deal with Miss Lin?" a female voice asked.

Miss Lin?Baochai was startled. Among this group of people, only Daiyu was surnamed Lin.

"You ask too many questions." The man known as Big Brother Ruan said, "Remember, if it weren't for the prince, you would have been sent to the Clothes Bureau to be a low-level maid, how could you still be here?"

"Yes, this servant knows." The voice of the person who spoke paused and said, "Xiaoyuan will remember the great kindness of the prince, and I dare not forget it!"

"Let's go back."

Baochai didn't dare to move when she heard this. Her whole heart was in her throat, and she clasped her hands tightly, praying that these people would not find herself behind the woods.

Maybe Baochai's prayer came true, or maybe the place where Baochai was standing was relatively secluded, and the two left one after the other without realizing that outsiders were overhearing.

Baochai watched the two go away, but she still didn't dare to act rashly. She was always careful, and she was afraid that the two would have some tricks, so she slowly knelt down and hid herself.After waiting for a long time without seeing any movement, Baochai stood up, replaced the hem of her skirt, and trotted back to the residence.

After closing the door, Baochai was still a little scared, she shouldn't go out tonight.She can't afford to offend either the Lin family or the prince!

That night, Baochai tossed and turned, and did not fall asleep all night.

In the early morning of the next day, Baochai's whole complexion turned a little bad.The whole face is full of fatigue, even Jiang Huilan, who has always been nervous, has noticed it.

"Sister Xue, are you sick? Your complexion looks bad." Jiang Huilan walked up to Baochai and said, "Do you want me to ask you for leave so you can take a rest?"

Baochai shook her head and said, "It's okay, but I had a dream all night and didn't sleep well."

Jiang Huilan is not a delicate person, so she stopped talking after hearing the words.

"Sister Jiang, I want to ask you a question." Baochai struggled all night, but with no results, so she wanted to hear the opinions of others.

Jiang Huilan smiled and sat on the twig, picked up the teacup from Table Mountain, poured herself a glass of water, and said, "What's the problem?"

"Ruoruo, I mean Ruruo..." Baochai hesitated when the words came to her lips, should she really say it?When did she need someone else to make up her mind?This matter is too involved, she can't say it.

Jiang Huilan waited for a long time, but did not see Baochai's words, so she was a little puzzled and asked, "What exactly does Sister Xue want to ask?"

Baochai smiled and said, "It's okay, let's go have breakfast. It's almost time."

Jiang Huilan said oh and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Baochai breathed a sigh of relief, but fortunately Jiang Huilan didn't get to the bottom of it.Regarding what happened last night, Baochai still decided to keep silent first, and then look at the follow-up.

Lin Daiyu doesn't know about Baochai's entanglement here, she just met her father, she slept soundly at night, and she is in a good mood in the morning, and she rarely joked with Lanye.

"Lanye, can flowers be placed in this room?" Daiyu said with a smile looking at the empty window sill.

"It's okay, I'll go to the Siyuan Bureau to have a look." Lan Ye said, "But what kind of flowers does the girl want to put?"

"Green radish." Daiyu took out a purse from her bag and handed it to Lan Ye, "You go and have a look first, and if you find something suitable, bring it back. We won't be here for a few days, but let's go. You can take it with you when you go."

Lan Ye responded, took the lotus bag and put it on her body, then went out with Dai Yu to have breakfast.

"Morning, Yu'er, did you sleep well last night?" Jiang Huilan posted it up when she saw Lin Daiyu.

Daiyu really didn't have any strength to resist Jiang Huilan's familiarity, she nodded with a smile and said, "I'm pretty good, but seeing you like this, you should be pretty good too."

Jiang Huilan smiled and said, "Yeah, I've been sleeping well. But Sister Xue didn't sleep well last night, and she woke up this morning with a particularly bad complexion. She put on her clothes before going out, so she looked better."

Baochai followed Jiang Huilan, and just as she walked in front of Daiyu, she heard Jiang Huilan mentioning herself, and said with a smile, "What are you talking about me here?"

Daiyu looked at Baochai, and indeed saw some fatigue in her eyes, and said, "Just now Huilan said that Sister Xue didn't have a good rest last night."

Baochai's heart tightened, and she looked at Daiyu with a little discomfort and said, "It's okay, it will be much better now. But sister Lin looks pretty good."

Daiyu nodded generously and said, "It's pretty good."

"It will be the final election in a few days, and I'm still a little nervous." Jiang Huilan said suddenly, "I don't know if I can be selected."

"It's good to have a normal heart. Now that we've reached this point, we just have to wait for the Holy Majesty and the Empress to choose in person. It doesn't matter if you are nervous." Lin Daiyu comforted with a smile.

Jiang Huilan pursed her mouth and said, "Even though I said that, I'm still nervous!"

Daiyu smiled and stopped talking. She didn't have to go through this procedure herself, so she had no position to comfort Jiang Huilan here.If you talk too much, it is easy to cause misunderstanding, thinking that she is showing off.Daiyu and Jiang Huilan think that they don't have a deep personal relationship, but she can't bear Miss Jiang's enthusiasm, so she gets along better with her than others.

Xue Baochai looked at Daiyu with a calm face, and felt sore in her heart, how happy she was compared to herself!

If his father was still there, how could the Xue family need a girl like her to stand up and support the family!She used to be as reckless as Lin Daiyu!

She was in a good mood and everything went smoothly, this morning, Daiyu actually felt that the time passed unexpectedly quickly.

During the rest time, Daiyu was about to drink tea, but unexpectedly discovered that the tea had been added with ingredients.Looking sideways at the maid serving tea, she discovered that it was Xiaoyuan whom she had sent away before.The stuff in here was made by her?Daiyu felt that this servant girl was too courageous.

"Sister Lin, what are you looking at?" Xue Baochai asked while carrying the tea and found Lin Daiyu staring blankly at the maid presenting the tea.

"It's nothing, I just found out that I saw an acquaintance." Lin Daiyu looked at Xiao Yuandao with a smile, "I heard that you went to the clothing bureau?"

"As for Ms. Lin, Eunuch De punished me to go to the Clothes Bureau after I made a mistake, but he punished me for a few days and then let me come back." Xiaoyuan replied.

As soon as Xiaoyuan opened her mouth, Baochai's hand almost missed the teacup.This voice was the voice that claimed to be Madoka last night.

"Who is this girl?" Xue Baochai asked.

"Eunuch De arranged to take care of me on the first day, but he made a mistake and changed the blue leaf." Lin Daiyu explained.Baochai stabilized her mind, nodded, looked at the tea in Daiyu's hand, and thought about what happened last night. Baochai wondered if there was something wrong with the glass of water.
