Jia Yingchun of the Red Chamber

In the early morning of the next day, Yingchun wore an orange-yellow Confucian skirt prepared by Yuanchun. The collar was wiped and the cuffs were embroidered with emerald green bamboo leaves.

Arriving at the Ningshou Palace of the Empress Dowager's nanny, Yingchun found that her dress was not bright at all among the beautiful women in red, willow and green.

Yingchun's heart stopped, and she walked slowly among the beautiful women, kowtowed and saluted with the flow, saying that the empress is a thousand years old, and I am blessed and safe.

Yuan Chun, as the queen's empress, was a popular female official, standing behind the queen with several nuns.

The emperor's draft book does not have a few concubines.It's just that those empresses are unwilling to be lonely, and they also come to join in the fun when the beautiful girls are visiting the queen mother.

On weekdays, when they invited Ann, they all slipped away, fearing that the queen would die after eating, but today they were all talking and delaying time.The purpose is to see what strong rivals will appear in this year's show girls, and see if there is any chance to nip the strong rivals in the bud.

When I was young, a group of beautiful girls from Chuxiu Palace arrived, and the emperor swished towards the past with his wife's awl-like eyes, flying back and forth on the beautiful girls.

Contemptuous, critical, mean all at the same time.

It seems like this is the only way to vent their jealousy and their sorrowful age.

Yingchun has no desires in her heart, and the old god is studying the looks of the empress dowager and empress.

Although the empress dowager's mouth is wrinkled and loose, her eyes are double eyelids, black pupils, full of heaven and round, straight nose, and tall body. She is not the charming type. .Otherwise, the mother and queen mother would not be killed, and the harem would be dominated by one person.

The empress is petite, with a round face, fair complexion, a pair of very big eyes, lips that are neither too big nor too small, and her facial features look good when viewed separately. She should have a benevolent face, but for no reason it makes people think that she is not very charitable.

Yingchun looked carefully for a long while, and finally knew the reason, but the ratio of black and white pupils of the empress was a bit wrong, it seemed that there were more white eyeballs and less black eyeballs.It's exactly what people say about four-eyed eyes, it's okay to keep your eyes fixed, but when you turn your eyes, they become staring eyes.

Yingchun is watching happily, and the clinker disaster falls from the sky.

I have always relied on my son to fight against the empress and concubine Tai Shu, and asked in the last one: "I heard that sister Jia Nu Shi, the second daughter of Rongguo Mansion Jia Yingchun is very outstanding, but are you here?"

Originally hidden among the crowd, Jia Yingchun was automatically dodged and pushed out of the crowd.Yingchun suddenly stood out from the crowd.

Yuan Chun bit his lip secretly, staring at Concubine Shu, wishing he could strangle this old woman to death.

Looking up, she saw Yingchun's panicked eyes, she shook her head slightly, signaling her to calm down.

Yingchun stepped forward slowly, calmed down, and first kowtowed to the empress dowager who was sitting upright: "My daughter Jia Yingchun pays homage to the empress dowager, the empress dowager, and wishes the empress dowager, the empress dowager good health and a long life." He turned sideways again and said, "Greetings to the three empresses, and the door of the empresses is safe!"

The empress dowager is the birth mother of today's sage, her maiden name is Zhen, and her grandmother is the old aunt of the Jia family. She and Jia's mother are old acquaintances, so she smiled: "Well, the rules are good, let's see!"

How can the Queen Mother's reward be declined.

Yingchun was confused and a brocade box was stuffed into her hand, she thanked her again, and then she got up.

Concubine Hui has always been at odds with Concubine Shu, but today because of Jia Yingchun, the sister of a common enemy, it is rare for them to be in the same mood.

Concubine Hui stared at Yingchun deliberately, and smiled: "Empress Dowager, the servants look at the girls here not only because they are well behaved, look, this girl Jia Er has skin like snow, full of heaven, willow eyebrows, big eyes and high nose bridge. , is a rare beauty, one of the best among the show girls in this festival!"

How can the empress dowager not know the calculations in Concubine Shu's words, but it is not a good thing to have a piece of the harem, so the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law all raised their foreheads: "Well, this sister Jia Nushi is really not bad."

Concubine Ning is Concubine Hui's dog-headed military adviser, and these days Yuanchun has robbed her of her favor, and she is very upset, but she is also afraid that the empress behind Yuanchun will not dare to compete.Seeing that the empress dowager didn't take the blame at this moment, how could she not intervene, and hurriedly covered her mouth with a smile: "If you want me to say, this Rongfu is actually a well-loved and wealthy family, with good feng shui, and beautiful women!"

Yingchun herself knows whether she is overwhelmed by the city or the country. She knows that this is Concubine Shu who can't get used to Yuanchun, and dare not do anything, so she uses herself as a murderer.

Aunt Feng also said about these things, it is best to remain unchanged and respond to all changes, so she solemnly said: "My lady praises me, my ministers are ashamed and dare not be worthy, and my minister's posture of Puliu, in front of all ladies, how dare I be a beauty?" word."

The Empress Dowager smiled at Yuan Chun when she heard the words: "Rong Mansion's rules are really good."

Then he changed the subject and asked about other show girls.Then a lot of things were rewarded one after another.

Among them were Shi Furong and Fu Jinyu, and Xu Yuyan got jewelry boxes the same size as Yingchun.

The empress dowager's reward seemed to balance the favor, but in fact, the pressure on Yingchun had not been relieved much.

Before, Xiu Nu was only jealous of Ying Chun, but now Shi Furong's eyes are full of jealousy.

Yingchun's status, in the eyes of Shi Furong, the emperor's niece, is nothing but dust, why should she be rewarded with the empress dowager's blue eyes like her, the proud daughter of heaven?

Shi Furong's contemptuous gaze was sharp and cold, Yingchun was as straight as a thorn on her back.

The turbulence of the show girls did not affect the interest of the nobles. The empress dowager asked the queen about the arrangement of the theater in Changying Pavilion with a kind face.

The queen smiled: "Everything is arranged by Jia Nushi!"

Yuan Chun hurriedly bowed and reported to the Empress Dowager in a low voice.The empress dowager nodded frequently: "You are a proper one!"

Concubine Shu knew how to look at this posture, and knew that no matter how provocative it was, it would be useless, and the two sisters, Jia Yingchun, had already become public enemies of show women. Their goal had been achieved, Concubine Shu smiled coquettishly and went to praise the queen.

Yingchun's behavior has become the target of public criticism, and when she glanced out of the corner of her eye, anger was hidden in her almond eyes, and her cold eyes greeted Yingchun.If the gaze could kill, I'm afraid I'll lose all my skin and flesh.

Yingchun maintains a smile on her face, but her silver teeth are darkened, and she greets Concubine Shu and Concubine Hui's eighteen generations of ancestors: the eighteen generations of ancestors are wicked, jealous, eat persimmons and pick soft ones, I will stick to you and provoke you Well, if you have the ability, you can tie the emperor in your trouser waist, or you can go to the Queen's Kunning Palace to force people, and bully Lao Tzu, a little show girl, what a hairball!

Afterwards, the Empress Dowager drove, and the Empress Dowager and the empresses of the various palaces surrounded the Empress Dowager Tian to visit the garden behind the Ningshou Palace, followed by crows like a group of beautiful women sardines.

Yingchun originally kowtowed to the empress dowager, and was right next to the empress dowager. According to the order, Yingchun should be at the front.Clinker, Yingchun would be trampled on every time she stretched out her feet, and a pair of embroidered shoes was almost trampled to pieces.

Yingchun was in so much pain that she could only gasp, it seemed that Concubine Shu succeeded in provoking her.

Anyway, it's only more than ten days, with a knife on the head of Ren, I will bear it!

Yingchun simply took a step back and pulled at the end.

Seeing this group of lunatics looking like little girls, Yingchun couldn't laugh or cry, wishing to announce loudly that I don't like the Emperor's rotten cucumber.

For lunch this day, the Empress Dowager gave a banquet to Ningshou Palace.

At noon, when Yingchun returned to Chuxiu Palace to wash and change clothes, Yuanchun's maid, Ganlu, quietly told Yingchun: "Nv Shirang told the young master, don't leave alone to listen to the opera in the afternoon, let alone go to a secluded place alone."

Yingchun's heart skipped a beat when she heard the words, and her face turned pale: "How could it be so serious?"

Gan Lu's expression remained unchanged, but she warned: "Concubine Shu called the name today, and the Empress Dowager rewarded her. It was a big surprise. My master should know that the wood beauty will be destroyed by the wind in the forest. Wealth and wealth are in danger, and some people will not hesitate Take the risk, the female history tells the young master not to be careless."

Yingchun Fu thanked Ganlu, stretched out his hand and stuffed 20 taels of silver bills in the past: "Tired girl!"

Ganlu accepted it with a smile, and said: "Auntie Du Ruo in Chuxiu Palace is a fair person, the young master will follow Auntie Du Ruo directly in and out of the palace, there must be no harm!"

Yingchun originally planned to visit the imperial palace for free, but at this moment, all that is left is to feel sorry for her. For the rest of the day, the most important thing is to live in seclusion to save her life!

While taking a nap, Yingchun touched the bamboo leaf purse next to her body, tossing and turning it was difficult to fall asleep, should she contact Du Ruo?

In the end, Yingchun hung the bamboo-leaf purse around her waist. Fearing that Du Ruo would not see the purse, she wrapped the bamboo-leaf handkerchief with her own pink handkerchief, exposing the corner of the embroidered bamboo branch.

It's a pity that Yingchun showed the bamboo veil twice in front of Du Ruo, Du Ruo's face was as calm as water, without any fluctuation.

Yingchun failed to ask for help, so she had to be cautious everywhere.

It was getting dark early in May, and even if the beautiful girls in Yingchun didn't like it, they had to wait until the queen mother left the stage before leaving, but the queen mother was a fan of the theater and liked to listen to lively plays the most. The Palace of Eternal Life is sung, the dragon and the phoenix show auspiciousness in the backstage, and then Lu Zhishen is drunk and hits the mountain gate. The old queen listened with great interest.When the old queen was enjoying herself, when she heard it from the Changyin Pavilion, the sun had already set and the sky and the earth were dark.

Yingchun has been walking by Du Ruo's master and apprentice intentionally or unintentionally, but when she passed the narrow road, she was crowded and her ankle was sprained. When she bent down and rubbed her ankle to get up, Du Ruo's master and apprentice had disappeared.

Fortunately, there are not a few beautiful girls around.Yingchun paused for a moment.

Although there was no broken bone, he sprained his tendon and was in great pain. Remembering Yuan Chun's confession, Ying Chun did not dare to stay, so he leaned on the wall and quickly chased after a group of beautiful women in front of him.But it is getting further and further away.Yingchun became anxious and had to call for help: "Sisters in front, wait for me, I sprained my ankle."

At this greeting, some of the beautiful women in front stopped, and Yingchun recognized that one of them was Shi Xiangjun, the grandniece of Mother Jia's family.Meeting relatives at such a time, Yingchun felt very happy: "Sister Xiangjun, what a coincidence to meet you!"

It's good that the clinker Yingchun didn't make a sound, but when he made a sound, Shi Xiangjun became more human and his feet were like the wind, and he looked forward like being chased by a ghost.

Yingchun's heart sank, her eyelids twitched wildly, and she trotted all the way, ignoring the pain in her ankle.

It was also because the walls of the palace were too tall, and the evening was too gloomy, and because the nectar had warned her before, Yingchun's nervous blood rushed to her cheeks.

It seemed that the only sound left in the world was his kicking, and he didn't realize that someone was slowly approaching behind him.

Just as Yingchunfang was about to turn into the narrow passage leading to Chuxiu Palace, his eyes suddenly went dark, and someone covered his mouth tightly, and dragged him all the way into a small door.

Yingchun struggled desperately, suddenly her head hurt, and her body flew out like floating weeds.

With a muffled sound of 'Gudong', Yingchun lost the last trace of consciousness!

At that moment, Yingchun actually wanted to smile wryly: My life is over again!
