Jia Yingchun of the Red Chamber

Yingchun quickly stabilized her mind, she is a serious concubine, this is the palace of the elder sister Yuanchun, so it is only natural for her to appear here.

The emperor should not be able to pick his own thorns.

She quietly put down her chopsticks, and took a quick look at Yuan Chun, only to see that Yuan Chun, who was still full of obscurity just now, changed his face in an instant, smiled openly, greeted him with a pink face, and saluted: "My concubine welcomes the Holy Majesty!"

But the visitor stretched out his long arm and held the jade hand: "My concubine is free!" Seeing the kang sitting on the dinner table, he smiled: "It's not a coincidence that I came here!"

Yuan Chunxiao let the emperor hold him slightly, looked at each other and smiled as if there was no one else around: "The concubine was originally waiting for the emperor to come, but Xiao Xizi came to report that the emperor was having a banquet in Ningshou Palace."

Even if Yuan Chun didn't say this, the emperor knew that it was already past the meal time, and Chengqian Palace just served the table, so it must be because he had waited for him for a long time.His face became more and more amiable, with a contented joy on his face.

Yingchun didn't follow Yuanchun because she didn't get hint from Yuanchun.When the emperor was seated, Yuan Chun served the tea with his own hands, chatting with the emperor with a smile.Yingchun tried to minimize her sense of existence, and stood with Baoqin and smiled again, but Yuanchun was also standing on the left, and Yingchun didn't look obtrusive even though she was beside her.Just happened to observe the emperor who Yuan Chun wholeheartedly served.

The emperor was dressed in fragrant and colored clothes, with a golden crown on the top, a handsome face, two beautiful eyes, clear eyes, a straight nose and a square mouth.

Holding the teacup, the fingers are slender and the joints are well-proportioned.

He just sat there like that, indescribably elegant and leisurely, with an unstoppable nobility born of him, his eyes twitched casually, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and the smile faded away from his eyes, as if the whole world was in his eyes , This small space suddenly lit up.

Regardless of his noble status as an emperor, this is also a handsome and elegant man.

The years have not left traces on the young emperor's face. The 36-year-old emperor looks no more than [-] years old.

Yingchun's cheeks blushed involuntarily, and his eyes drooped slightly. This was the most handsome man Yingchun had ever seen.

The emperor drank tea, listened to Yuan Chun's whispered words, and occasionally his forehead, corners of his mouth were drawn up, his eyebrows and eyes were warm, and he was obviously in a very happy mood.

The two murmured and chuckled as if no one was around, Zimo and Zimo holding the qin were used to seeing it, Yingchun just felt awkward and uncomfortable, and when he was about to withdraw quietly, he was afraid that Sheng Jia would be shocked, so he just stood upright, Yingchun felt momentary It's hard to endure for a while, and I'm blindly immersed in the emperor's warmth, forgetting my eldest sister Yuanchun, I don't know what this person is doing.

If you don't want your appearance to attract the emperor's attention, you should order yourself to step down. What's the point of ignoring him like this and letting yourself stand like a wooden stake!

Yingchun is in a dilemma here, and it is difficult to endure for a while.

The emperor turned around and noticed the commotion in Yingchun. The emperor had an impression of the appearance of Chengqian Palace. Seeing Yingchun's face was unfamiliar, he raised his eyebrows: "Is there a guest here, Concubine Ai?"

Yuan Chun seemed to wake up just now, and smiled shyly: "It's all my fault. When I saw the Holy Majesty, I just focused on talking and forgot about my sister." As he spoke, he got up, took the Spring Festival hand with him, and walked to the emperor, saying, "The Holy Majesty, please let me know." This is the second sister of my concubine, Dechongyuan who was sealed in Yanxi Palace by the Holy Majesty."

Yingchun followed Yuanchun's introduction and saluted with blessings: "The concubine Yanxi Palace Chongyuan Jia's Yingchun has met the emperor, the emperor is blessed and healthy, and the country will last forever!"

When the emperor heard the word was quite new, he raised his eyebrows and looked at his little wife who was meeting him for the first time.

Emerald eyebrows and almond eyes, pink face and peach cheeks, straight nose bridge, small cherry mouth, a small face looking warm and festive, neither arrogant nor dull, the emperor secretly forehead, this face is not bad.The empress dowager liked this kind of face, and the emperor actually believed that this kind of appearance was blessed.

Then, following the peach blossom cheeks down, she moved her eyes away, raised her eyebrows slightly, the green apricot hasn't bloomed yet, this one needs to be raised!

The emperor's eyes widened and his breasts were crispy with Yuanchun noodles, he pursed the corners of his mouth, and his eyebrows were colored: peaches are better, they taste sweet and glutinous, and they smell fragrant.

Yuan Chun was slightly taken aback, then smiled, knowing that Yingchun was nervous, the concubine didn't need to do this when meeting the emperor, but it didn't hinder her.Yuan Chun pursed his lips in joy, and gave the emperor a blessing: "Forgive me, the concubine sister is timid. She usually stays at home with her sisters to study. Apart from father and brother, she has never seen outsiders. , Majestic, majestic, tall and straight Yushu, the youngest daughter's family, has seen such a battle several times, it is unavoidable to be astonished and shy, I also ask the Holy Majesty not to be blamed, and my concubine will teach her slowly in the future."

The emperor stretched out his hand to grab Yuan Chun: "I don't blame my concubine for being flat." He raised his eyes to Yingchun, and smiled slightly: "Ping, give me a seat!"

Yingchun had already calmed down at this time, Xie En got up, straightened his body, and sat on the lower head of Yuanchun.

Yuanchun chatted intimately with the emperor again, and when he learned that the emperor deliberately kept his stomach full, he was even more delighted to have dinner with him, so he hurriedly ordered to rearrange the banquet.

The emperor was free, and saw that Yingchun was all over cautious, hiding her body behind Yuanchun like a cat, silently.Thinking of those concubines and concubines who threw themselves on her body with all kinds of tricks, I feel more and more pity for the docile and quiet girl. People are bullied to death: "Is it still used to living in Yanxi Palace?"

The emperor was talking well with Yuan Chun, but he suddenly interjected, and Ying Chun didn't have time to react, so he was stunned, suspicious in his heart, did he mean me?

Yuan Chun smiled knowingly, and pulled Ying Chun secretly: "I'm so stupid, the emperor is asking you."

Yingchun was busy blessing her body: "Talk back to the emperor, the concubine is very used to it, the house is very big and beautiful, there are gardens, lotus ponds, the concubine likes it very much, thank the emperor for the reward!"

The emperor saw that her language was sincere and simple, and it was even more rare that her voice was mellow and clear, which made people feel comfortable and comfortable, unlike those concubines with hooked eyes and boneless bodies, who couldn't speak a word well, but had to turn three corners, It made people feel inexplicably irritable.

When the emperor entered the harem, he came to relax in the gentle village. Who would be impatient to go around in circles and waste their brains?

The emperor was more and more satisfied with Yingchun's docile temperament, and took another look at Yingchun. The evaluator was appreciative, her face was of a moderate size, and she looked gratifying. Jingying, looking at it this way, it seems that it should feel very good and comfortable when pinched.His eyes slid across his chest, and he sighed secretly, the front is too flat, it seems to be comparable to himself, what does it mean to be flat?Mimi's eyes, but, look at this face and skin, there is nothing wrong with it, and the body should be fine no matter how thin it is.Eyelids drooped, and the smile on the corners of his mouth deepened a little: "It's good if you like it, whatever is missing in the future, just let the servant go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, if there is any difficulty, just tell the concubine, or you can find me."

As he spoke, he turned to the outside and said, "Gao Defu, Chongyuan is new here, and Lady Zhaoyi can't take care of the time, so you have long eyes."

Gao Defu promised: "The slave has written it down!"

Just at this moment, the voice of holding the piano came in from outside: "Your Majesty, the banquet is ready."

Yuan Chun glanced at the emperor: "Then put it on!"

Yingchun saw that there were three sets of bowls and chopsticks on the table, did she want to keep herself?Looking at the meeting of the four emperors in Yuanchun, the affection is endless, and it is estimated that today will be a spring for the whole family.

Yingchun took a deep breath, tightened her body, and secretly pumped herself up. Finally, she stood up from her limp body, walked to the emperor's seat, and bowed her eyes: "Thank you for your love, my concubine has been here for half a day. There are still some things to deal with here, so I will not disturb the Holy Majesty for dinner, and the concubine will leave!"

Yuanchun saw that the emperor seemed to have a good sense of Yingchun, and was about to let Yingchun talk to the emperor more, let the emperor know Yingchun's inner wisdom, and lay the groundwork for future favors. The emperor thought about it.I had to press it and watch the emperor make a decision.

The emperor has been a vegetarian these days, and today he is in a hurry to eat meat. Yingchun's face looks good, but his body is thin. He has no appetite. Seeing Yingchun is very interesting, he smiles: "I'm afraid that I will be restrained at the table with you, little girl. I don't know how to eat. Gao Defu, Instruct the Imperial Dining Room to cook a table of delicious meals for Empress Chongyuan."

The emperor bestows a banquet, which is a supreme honor.Yuan Chun hurriedly pulled Ying Chun to thank him: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Yingchun was stunned. She thought of Aunt Du Ruo's theory of misfortune, and hurriedly declined: "The emperor rewarded my concubine and I shouldn't have resigned. It's just that my concubine likes the gold and silver rolls and green rice porridge on the table very much. My sister gave these two rewards. My sister's portion is enough, I usually don't dare to eat greasy food at night, for fear of overeating!"

Of course Yuanchun knew the consequences of Muxiu Yulin, and was very happy that Yingchun was so alert and intelligent, and hurriedly explained for Yingchun: "This is the habit of our ancestors. They say that it is not suitable to be greasy at night, and it is easy to make the complexion dark. Therefore, the girl from Rongfu For dinner, only green vegetable porridge is usually served, and if you are hungry, you can supplement it with fruit to satisfy your hunger!"

The emperor straightened his forehead when he heard the words: "Well, this is a good habit. The Supreme Emperor likes to eat big fish and meat, especially stewed rotten hoofs. The former envoy of the Imperial Hospital, Ted, came to complain to me, saying that the Supreme Emperor did not listen to the advice and disappeared. Thirst is getting worse."

Yingchun didn't expect that by rejecting a meal, she would cause the emperor's hidden illness, so she regretted it. It should be noted that concubines in the harem are generally not allowed to spy on the pulse of the superior, so as not to cause adverse consequences.

Yuan Chun was also silent and did not dare to answer.

It was the emperor who suddenly realized that he had slipped his tongue, and waved to Yingchun: "Go down, I'll see you someday when I'm free!"

Spring Festival dinner generally does not eat staple food, Yuanchun nonsense is such a habit of the Jia family, but it is in line with the Spring Festival habit, dinner is not hungry, eat apples and cucumbers to satisfy one's hunger.This is the secret of Yingchun's last life to keep a slim figure.

Although the time we spent together was very short, Du Ruo understood this habit, and was very surprised when he saw the green rice porridge from Chengqian Palace, the gold and silver rolls: "Is there any guest for Empress Chongyuan today?"

Yingchun shook her head, but ordered Xiuju: "I missed my sister's things today, you go and send a jade pot to Chengqian Palace like my newly brewed grape juice and peach juice. Don't teach people to get close to the food box, and don't tell Lady Zhaoyi that the juice is best to drink right away, it won't taste good after overnight."

Xiuju promised to go, and Yingchun said again: "Tell the lady Zhaoyi again, just say that I added honey to the juice. It has the effect of relieving hangover!"

Xiuju took the eunuch to Chengqian Palace.

Yingchun secretly calculated that Yuanchun had been clean for three days, and three to five days later would be her best period of conception.Diluted Lingquan water was added to Yingchun fruit juice, the emperor drank refreshing and became addicted, Yuanchun also quietly changed her tea several times because of Yingchun, her skin became firmer and more tender, these days the emperor must eat marrow to know the taste, and cannot do without Chengqian Palace , Unit Yuanchun became pregnant in one fell swoop, and with Yuanchun's belly covered, he could have a few days of comfortable life.

The chess player Balabala told about Chengqian Palace, and was very annoyed: "What a great opportunity to stand up, let's see who dares to be sloppy in our Yanxi Palace in the future, but the master refused."

Siqi suffers from abdominal pain during menstruation. A few days ago, she went to the imperial dining room and asked for [-] ginger and brown sugar water, but no one cared about her. In the end, she got a bowl of brown sugar water for the sake of the piano. She was so angry that her liver hurt all night.

She is the second young lady in the Rong Mansion, how many times has she ever been so angry?

This is also the result of Siqi's recharge. Du Ruo reminded her to be low-key, tactful, and willing to pay when asking for help.However, Siqi thought that his master was a concubine, and he entered the palace in a bridal sedan chair to be a concubine, and those slaves in the imperial dining room would not be able to support him.But I don't want to think about it, the past few days are the days when Concubine Li and Zhou Cairen are prosperous, and Yuan Chun, who welcomes the spring, has been alone all the time. Everyone thinks that Lady Zhaoyi is about to fall out of favor. Woolen cloth.

Yingchun intentionally lets Siqi practice with Du Ruo, and doesn't interfere too much with Du Ruo's practice of chess. If a person doesn't hit a wall, he won't know how hard the south wall is.

At this moment, seeing that Siqi Huotan's temper had run into a wall and there was no sign of wear and tear, he asked her coldly, "You know how Baoyu died when she was a popular girl?"

Siqi was taken aback for a moment: "It's lovely? Didn't she get sick?"

Seeing Xiuju's complexion turned dark and Yingchun's sneering expression, he immediately thought of the rumors in the mansion that Keren was deliberately suppressed to death by his superiors because he wanted to make room for the attackers.Keren's younger sister, Meiren, originally wanted to take over Keren's care of Baoyu with a commission, but the old lady sent them back home with 40 taels of silver for fear of Meiren's mischief because of Keren's death.

Siqi usually has her grandma in the mansion to protect her from disasters, so she goes forward and is always in danger, and develops a violent temper. Except for the master and miss, there is a Pinger Yuanyang in the Rong mansion, but the rest are not in the eyes of Siqi.

Previously, Yingchun needed such a carbon explosion, and Rong Mansion was also able to control Yingchun's territory, so she never restrained her. Now that she is in the palace, this kind of temper is likely to kill her, so Yingchun secretly asked Tuo Duruo to hone her chess skills.

Siqi guessed from Yingchunxiu's orange complexion that Keren died strangely, some couldn't believe it: "Didn't she hate Baoyu's favor? How dare others? Xiren is just bought from outside, how can he compare with Keren, but A charming person is a child of the family, right?"

Yingchun smiled: "That's true, but people's ancestors entered the mansion, and reasoning is better than attacking people, but something that seems very unreasonable happened. In this palace, I am like Brother Bao, of course I I hope you are well, but once something happens, I can't protect you, just like those people in the imperial dining room, you look at them as if they are attacking people, they have no roots and no roots, but they are tied, they have a backer in the palace, Otherwise, how dare you act like this?"

Chess stagnation.

Du Ruo went on to say: "Actually, the girl who played chess did a good job later on. She took the power of holding the zither and controlled the imperial dining room. The girl looked at the maids of Yikun Palace and Yonghe Palace today who were arrogant, and all the eunuchs in charge of the imperial dining room wished they could lift them up." They walk. In fact, there is no need to be envious. One day, we will be favored by the imperial concubine, and naturally someone will come to support you. Therefore, the chess girl does not need to get angry over some trivial things. This palace is full of ebb and flow, but things happen in the blink of an eye. Look, if you come to Chengqian Palace on the ground today, there will be extra snacks delivered to your door in the custody of the imperial dining room tomorrow, maybe someone will specially come to kowtow to Miss Chess to apologize!"

The next day, Yuanchun didn't send people to look for Yingchun, so I didn't go out in the house because of Yingchun.According to Du Ruo's experience and news, the emperor entered the harem, and the empresses of all palaces competed for favor. It is said that Yikun Palace, Yonghe Palace, and Chengqian Palace are holding back their energy. These big girls are fighting in the imperial dining room. They all wanted rare things, and it was said that they were rare things for the emperor, so they threatened the head of the imperial dining room: "Our mother said that the emperor must go to Yikun Palace for dinner today. When the time comes, the emperor likes it." If the dishes are not on the table, you will be annoyed if you don’t eat well, and you will be responsible for the consequences.”

Although Baoqin is just promoted to be in charge of Chengqian Palace, she has been in the palace for ten years. Yan Xiaoying put down the menu, and then put a silver ingot on the menu: "Your Majesty said, yesterday's dishes were very good. Your Majesty I used half a bowl of rice too much, and the money was rewarded to the master who was in charge of the spoon yesterday to make wine. However, the empress said, this wine must be drunk when the masters are off duty, so we must not miss the meal!"

Hearing this, the manager laughed so hard that his eyes narrowed, and the fan opened for Baoqin to send out from above his head: "Auntie, please wait, today's dishes must be more neat than yesterday's."

Baoqin held his head high except for the imperial dining room.The manager didn't quit, the meal approached Baoqin, and handed Baoqin a food box: "Here are all small snacks newly developed by the master of the imperial dining room, and I will give it to my aunt to eat and play, if it is good, I will directly control it With a word, we are ready to send the girl to Chengqian Palace."

Baoqin opened the food box, but it turned out that various kinds of ice slag and pulp are popular in the palace recently. This food is sour and sweet, icy cold, and some masters can't eat it.Baoqin raised his eyebrows: "This is a rare item, don't give it to me, it will be captured by other masters later, you will eat the top, if people know that you give it to me in private, I will be clicked here, and you will not eat it if you eat it." Indigestion."

Zhang Shi said with a smile: "Auntie, please rest assured, I can still make decisions about the things in Chengqian Palace."

On this day, the food delivery eunuchs in Yanxi Palace are much more pleasant than usual, and the dishes are fresh and plentiful. Du Ruo’s food box also has four more cold dishes than usual. It is said that Huang Zhang of the Imperial Dining Room has recently studied the dishes. Please Du Ruo and everyone The aunts tasted and tasted.

As Yingchun expected, this night, the emperor stayed in Chengqian Palace again.

On the third and fourth days, the emperor continued to stay in Chengqian Palace.

On the morning of the fifth day, just as Yingchun got up, she heard a message from outside that Xiao Guizi, who was in the imperial kitchen, begged to see the girl playing chess.

Siqi was combing Yingchun's hair, when he heard that his hand paused, he cast a glance at Du Ruo: "Auntie, you are a god!" Turning around, he combed Yingchun's hair carefully, every time, very carefully.

Du Ruoxiu knew that Siqi was angry, so he kept silent, waiting for Siqi to make up his mind.

It's time to welcome the spring and freshen up.

Only then did Siqi turn to Du Ruoyi and said, "Auntie, please teach me how to get rid of Xiao Guizi outside?"

Du Ruo smiled: "The emperor stayed in Chengqian Palace one after another, and the empress dowager was happy to see it succeed, and the empress dowager would not say anything about it. For one thing, the concubine Li is already pregnant, and the empress dowager is in a good mood, so she doesn't care where the emperor rests. Second, there are eight newly promoted concubines in this palace, five of whom are not qualified to be favored like our young master, and the remaining three are concubines Li who are pregnant and cannot be favored, and there is one Empress Xiuyuan who is married to Zhao. Empress Yi, Empress Zhaoyi is five years older than Empress Xiuyuan, and Empress Zhaoyi has been in love with the emperor for many years, so even if Empress Zhaoyi occupies the emperor for three or five days, as long as the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year does not delay the emperor's trip to Kunning Palace, it should be fine."

Siqi was immediately happy: "I am moved by this. The Empress Zhaoyi is not pregnant, but she is competing for favor, and the empress dowager will not interfere. Over time, the Empress Zhaoyi will definitely be pregnant. Yanxi Palace and Chengqian Palace are in the same breath." Therefore, no one in this palace dares to offend Yanxi Palace, if I slap him hard today, he will have to suffer!"

Du Ruo smiled: "Yeah. You can do that too."

Siqi smiled and went away, Xiuju hurriedly chased him out.But was stopped by Du Ruo: "Trust the chess girl once, if she doesn't figure it out, it's okay to let her vent her anger today, this harem is like this, ebb and flow, if you are proud today, don't get angry, he Frustrated every day, more and more aggrieved, there is no way to live this day."

These words make sense, in the future when things happen to Yanxi Palace, those who rush to step on others will also have scruples.

The result was that the eunuch who was running on Siqi's words slapped himself, and then, Siqi waited for him to slap him twice, before he could show his pretense, he stopped him in a fit of anger.In the end, Xiao Guizi slapped himself, and was very grateful to Siqi Da Da.Siqi still made a face, accepted Guizi as a gift of Mingqian Longjing tea, and rewarded him with two taels of silver, almost moved Xiao Guizi to ask Siqi to be his godmother.

Lan Yun was sent by Du Ruo to secretly follow Siqi. Once Siqi got too good at it, he could let him know. After all, beating eunuchs and maids in this palace doesn't have a good reputation.

Unexpectedly, the explosive carbon chess master learned to use tricks.

Yingchun smiled: "This is all taught by my aunt."

Du Ruoqian said a few words, and then informed Yingchun of the latest news that he had received that day.

The emperor has already invited the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager to announce two decisions at the court meeting where Concubine Li canonize.Both things are about harem sissies.

In the past, the emperor ordered that concubines in the harem could meet their parents and relatives on birthdays and festive days.

Now, this favor has been perfected. In addition to the concubine's birthday and festive season, the second and sixth of each month are added as the concubine's meeting date.The second news stunned all the courtiers, because this decision was unprecedented.The emperor announced in public that the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager, understands the suffering of all the concubines once they enter the harem, and will allow the concubines who have palace buildings to stay at home to visit their relatives for the Shangyuan Festival.
