The Unparalleled Warrior of the Dream of the Red Chamber

Chapter 20 Dai Chai Enters the Palace Two Kinds of Heaven and Earth

On the day of entering the palace to congratulate her, Mother Jia was annoyed that it was Daiyu's first time entering the palace, so she came to Daiyu's room specially, fearing that there might be some omissions in Daiyu, but as soon as Mother Jia came in, she saw Daiyu Dressed in the court dress of the five-rank county lord in water-green color, with a corolla of green lotus twisted silk and silver dripping beads on her head, her black hair was rolled up high, and she was exactly the same as Jia Min back then. Daiyu, when Daiyu saw Jiamu coming in, she rushed forward to meet her, but she hugged Daiyu and cried, "My cruel Min'er, mother misses you so much!"

Jiamu's mournful cry drew tears from all the attendants around her. When Daiyu heard Jiamu crying for her own mother, Daiyu burst into tears.Sister Feng was looking for Daiyu's mother when she heard the cry and hurried over.

"Oh, my old ancestor, my little ancestor, what's the matter?" Seeing Jiamu Daiyu crying, Sister Feng was so frightened that she cried out hastily.

Sister Feng's voice woke up Jia Mu, who hurriedly hugged Daiyu to wipe her tears, and said in a choked voice: "Good children don't cry, it's because of grandmother's fault, which makes you sad again!"

Daiyu sobbed and raised her hand to wipe away the tears on Jiamu's face with a handkerchief, sobbing, "Grandmother, Yu'er misses mother."

Sister Feng sighed softly, pulled Daiyu to her side, and said softly, "My good sister, don't be sad. It's all because of my sister-in-law who didn't take good care of you."

Daiyu quickly shook her head and said, "Second sister-in-law, it's Daiyu's fault, it's none of my sister-in-law's business."

Mother Jia smiled with tears, "It's all my old stuff that's not good, it's none of your business."

Sister Feng said with a smile: "This is new. None of us is right. We are all wrong. Forget it, there are mistakes. My ancestors, little ancestors, please clean your face and make up again. Let's go to the palace!"

The maids went up to serve her once, and Jiamu Daiyu evened her face and changed her clothes again. Jiamu looked at Daiyu as if she were her own daughter. She stroked Daiyu's shoulder and said, "Yuer Ah, you look more and more like your mother, and I thought it was Min'er who came in the blink of an eye."

Daiyu took Jiamu's hand and said softly, "Jade is here to honor you on behalf of mother."

Sister Feng smiled and said: "That's not true, Sister Lin is just like my aunt. The first time I saw my aunt when I was a child, I thought I saw a fairy..."

The grandparents and grandchildren went out holding hands while talking, and saw Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Youshi from the Ningguo Mansion were already outside. Daiyu's face was slightly red, and she felt a little sorry in her heart. After all, she is a junior, but Let the elders wait here.Busy bowing and saluting: "Daiyu is late, please forgive me, aunt and sister-in-law."

Mrs. Xing saw that Daiyu's eyes were red, as if she had been crying, so she smiled and said: "It's the first time for a young lady to go to the palace to congratulate her, so it's inevitable that she will be a little busy. We just came out, and we didn't wait for you." You Shi Also nodded and smiled.Only Mrs. Wang was smiling, not knowing what she meant.

Jia Mu smiled and said, "Yu'er has just come out, but I wasted her time. It's almost time, let's go now."

All the wives have one person and one sedan chair, and the maids are divided into four black-topped green mule felt carts. Baochai pretends to be Mrs. Wang's maid, so she can only mix among the maids, seeing Daiyu from a distance. Baochai clenched her fists tightly as she stepped into the gorgeous warm sedan chair decorated with emerald green feathers, how could Baochai, who has always been proud of herself, bear such a difference in treatment.There was no heating stove in the Qinglue felt cart, a gust of cold wind blew by, Baochai couldn't help shivering, and the fire of jealousy in her heart burned even higher.

Seeing that Baochai was sitting in the same car with her, Yuanyang was startled for a moment and then understood, and didn't say anything, just pretending that she hadn't seen it, so as to save Baochai's face, but Hu Po is a straightforward person, As soon as she saw Baochai, she called out, "Miss Baochai? Why are you riding in this car?"

Baochai blushed with embarrassment at Hu Po's voice, so she could only say embarrassingly, "My car broke down, time is tight, and it's too late to change it now."

Hu Po still wanted to say something, but Yuanyang pulled her from behind, and hurriedly said: "A while ago, I heard that the empress wanted to see Miss Bao, and she specially ordered the second wife to bring Miss Bao into the palace. I didn't want the girl's car to break down. What a coincidence. tight."

Baochai nodded to thank Yuanyang, but she hated Yuanyang even more in her heart. She never thought that she was inferior to Yuanyang. .She knew in her heart that Yuanyang must know everything, so she felt even more embarrassed and ugly in her heart.

After entering the palace, there were deacons and eunuchs who led the ladies to arrange them according to their ranks. Madam Wang saw that Daiyu was still ahead of her.Sister Feng couldn't help sighing secretly in her heart, how could this aunt hate Sister Lin so much!

After the national ceremony, the empress sat on the throne and said with a smile: "It's not easy for ladies to enter the palace. Please, sisters, bring your wives back to the palace for a small gathering. It's not too late to come back to receive the banquet."

After listening to the Queen's order, the wives knelt down to thank each other, and then they went to find their wives. Mother Jia took Daiyu's hand and walked towards Yuanchun, and the other wives of Jia's mansion followed behind. With a pale face and no beard, he watched the kind-hearted middle-aged eunuch come quickly, and shouted: "Mrs. Jia, please stay."

Mother Jia hurriedly stopped, bowed with a smile and said, "I don't know what the father-in-law is doing to call me?"

Eunuch Nade walked up to Mother Jia and bowed with a smile, "The empress heard that the daughter of Lin Tanhua's family is entering the palace for the first time today, so she specially ordered this old servant to come and invite her."

This virtuous father-in-law's name is De'an, and he is the most powerful eunuch in front of the queen. Even when he meets a senior official of the third and second ranks, it is rare for him to have a word of invitation in his mouth, so when he said this, the faces of the people who heard it Can't help but change slightly.Jia's mother hurriedly pulled Daiyu over, and said with a smile: "This is the granddaughter of the old man, Yu'er, and meet Eunuch De soon."

Daiyu bowed to De'an as she said, and De'an only felt a bright light in front of his eyes, as if there was a gust of fresh wind blowing in front of him, which made people feel refreshed.De'an hurriedly stopped Daiyu, and said with a smile on his face: "County Lin, you don't need to be too polite. The empress heard that you are coming back for the first time today. She is afraid that you are not used to being wronged, so she specially ordered this old servant to come and invite you."

Daiyu Yingying said: "Thank you, Empress, for your kind care, Mr. Duo Laode passed on the decree." The voice was soft, glutinous and sweet, which made people feel like drinking a bowl of refreshing sweet spring water on a hot day, comforting every pore. All open.

Mother Jia hurriedly laughed and said, "It's the first time she's back, so please give me your nod, Father-in-law, if there's something she can't reach. Thank you in advance, old lady."

De'an smiled and said: "Don't worry, the old lady. The Empress ordered the old slave to come over to invite her because she was afraid that County Lord Lin would be wronged. Don't worry. The concubine Yuan hasn't seen her family for a long time, and the old slave dare not delay. Mrs. Jia please Bar."

Mother Jia had no choice but to stand down and watch De'an lead Daiyu away, and then walked towards Concubine Yuan with the two wives of King Xing and Sister Youshifeng.Concubine Yuan had already seen De'an coming to invite Daiyu, so she couldn't help feeling suspicious in her heart. After everyone met at Fengzao Palace, Concubine Yuan frowned and asked, "How can Sister Lin win the empress's favor? I haven't seen the queen do this to anyone. Could it be that sister Lin recognizes the queen?"

The members of the Jia family were also at a loss, and no one understood what was going on. Mrs. Wang already had a prejudice against Daiyu in her heart. After hearing what Concubine Yuan said, she just said with a sullen face: "Who knew that girl would have such Like good fortune, poured into the Queen's eyes. She is not here, it is cheaper to talk to the flesh and blood of our family."

Mother Jia felt unhappy when she heard this, but because it was inconvenient to have an attack in the palace, she just snorted and sat aside without saying a word.Mrs. Xing just smiled and didn't say anything. Seeing the elders like this, Youshi and Sister Feng couldn't speak, and the atmosphere in Fengzao Palace was a bit cold for a while.After a while, Concubine Yuan smiled and said, "It's hard for the ladies to meet, but it's useless to say something. Old lady, are you in good health?" Jia Mu hurriedly answered, and after a few words, the atmosphere was really good. It's getting better again.

Baochai pretends to be Mrs. Wang's maid, and at this time is in the side hall of Fengzao Palace with Yuanyang Hupo and several other maids, accompanied by the maid brought into the palace by Yuanchun, Baoqin doesn't know Baochai, so she smiles : "Sister Yuanyang, this sister looks unfamiliar, which lady does she belong to?"

Yuanyang could only smile and said: "She is the second wife's niece, and she came here specially to pay her respects."

Baoqin remembered that Mrs. Wang did have a niece named Xue Baochai, so she smiled and stepped forward to greet her and said, "So it's Miss Bao. The maidservant didn't know her at the time, please don't be offended by Miss Bao."

Baochai harbored hatred in her heart, and felt that entering the palace this time was too humiliating, but on her face she smiled like a spring breeze, and said with a gentle smile: "Minzi has seen a lady holding a qin." Yes, even though she is only a seventh rank, she is still an official. Logically, Xue Baochai should give her a gift.

Baoqin accepted Baochai's gift with a smile, and he looked at Baochai secretly, and Baoqin couldn't help being startled in his eyes.This Baochai was born like a flower and like a jade, and she was very rich. Although she was only wearing a maid's clothes, she couldn't hide her romantic nature.Baoqin has not practiced anything else in the palace these years, all because she has seen too many beauties of all kinds, but she has developed excellent eyesight, and she can spot the coquettish hidden between Baochai's eyebrows at a glance.Baoqin understood in his heart, and smiled politely: "Miss Bao, please wait a moment, servant girl will go back to your mother right away." Then he walked out.

It happened that Mrs. Wang and Yuan Chun had talked about Baochai, and Yuanchun was sending someone to invite her, so Baoqin led Baochai to the main hall of Fengzao Palace.

Before Baochai could see the ceremony, Yuan Chun took Baochai's hand and shouted affectionately that they were all members of the same family, sister, don't be too polite. " Yuan Chun took a closer look at Baochai once, and felt that he liked it from the bottom of his heart. He secretly praised: "This Baochai is indeed a beautiful woman. Looking at her pale skin, she is really deceiving Shuang Saixue, and her hands are also tender. , those watery apricot eyes are ruthless and seem to be affectionate, and a little bit of red lips are charming, with such an appearance, she will definitely be liked by Long Live, but I don't know if she has any scheming, if she doesn't have scheming, she can be brought into the palace. It's good to help me win Long live's heart, but if you have scheming, then you can't lure wolves into the house..."

Yuan Chun thought too far, and couldn't help losing his mind. She didn't hear Mrs. Wang's words. After all, Jia Mu is an old man, so she guessed Yuan Chun's thoughts at once, and laughed loudly: "Your Majesty, don't you?" I don't know, this treasure girl is really good. Speaking of which, the girls in our family can't compare to her. This child is extremely filial and sincere. She comes to say hello every day, rain or shine, and is more diligent than my pair of Yu'er Somehow, Bao girl is the most sensible, and what she says is also pleasant to hear, and she is knowledgeable, sensible and general, and we all love her very much." Yuan Chun listened to Jia's mother's words, nodded and smiled: "It turns out that sister Bao has so many benefits, Mrs. I really don’t know if grandma doesn’t tell me.”

Baochai blushed and lowered her head and said in a low voice: "The old lady has praised her. Those things are her duty. I dare not be an old lady to praise Baochai so much." , No one can hear the true meaning of Jiamu's words.Baochai didn't know that entering the palace this time would cut off her own path to being selected. Yuan Chun had already made up her mind that she would not be allowed to enter the palace as she wished, lest she become a disaster for herself.
