The Concubine of the Lin Family in the Red Chamber

Lin Jue didn't know that Daiyu knew his secret, but he kept it from Daiyu, and he felt quite stressed. When he saw Li Yibai coming over, he inevitably punched and kicked him to vent his inner depression. .

Li Yibai touched the tooth marks on his cheek, heh, it really hurts. "What's the matter with you? When you went to Jia's house yesterday, that family messed with you again?"

Lin Jue couldn't help kicking Li Yibai again, but Li Yibai didn't let him kick this time, but hurriedly avoided, "You can't kick casually in this place, if it breaks, you should regret it! "

Lin Jue snorted, turned around and lay down on the couch, ignoring him.

Li Yibai didn't take it seriously, and leaned over again, hugging Lin Jue in his arms, "What's the matter, tell your man, let's see who messed with you, your man will vent your anger on you!"

Li Yibai sipped at your man from the left and sipped at your man's right, Lin Jue laughed angrily, "Who provoked me, you ask?"

Li Yibai still didn't realize that the crisis was coming, so he was so stupid as to be in a daze.

Lin Jue turned her head and tapped his chest with her fingers, "He's the one who provoked me, how are you going to vent your anger on me?"

Li Yibai laughed, pinched Lin Jue's finger, put it in his mouth and gnawed, "We can vent our anger however you want. Or..." Li Yibai squeezed Lin Jue's hand and pressed it down on his body , "How about using it to vent your anger?"

Lin Jue smiled coldly, turned his fingers into claws, and grabbed it hard. Li Yibai immediately snorted and shouted, "It's over, it's over, it's over, it's over!"

Lin Jue was startled, thinking that she had hurt him in a moment of anger, so she hurriedly helped him up, and said urgently, "Call me to have a look, but is it really hurt?" Then she called the servant to call the doctor.

There was a trace of sweat on Li Yibai's forehead. The pain was real, but it didn't hurt the root. His exaggeration was just to scare Lin Jue, "Don't move, let me take it easy."

Li Yibai waited for a quarter of an hour before recovering, heaved a sigh of relief, grabbed Lin Jue's two paws in his hands, and hugged him wholeheartedly.Lin Jue struggled, and Li Yibai hurriedly said, "You should put your two little paws where I can see them, I'm going to scare you into shadows."

Lin Jue was just venting his anger, but now he felt a little guilty, so he stopped struggling and asked Li Yibai to hug him and talk.

It is rare for Li Yibai to see Lin Jue being so obedient, smiling as if he stole a fishy cat, but he didn't dare to show it, and asked instead: "What's the matter, but I didn't want to mess with you, so you came down." Such a black hand?"

Lin Jue covered his mouth in embarrassment, "It's not that I said it on purpose, so don't say it."

Li Yibai grabbed his hand back and taught a lesson: "Whether it's intentional or not, I don't dare to do this next time, so I'll make you useless, think about your 'sex' for the rest of your life, it's almost ruined. "

Lin Jue buried her face in his chest and said nothing.

Li Yibai accepted it as soon as he saw it, "Okay, okay, what's the matter?" He asked himself that he hadn't provoked Lin Jue recently, and he had taken advantage of it, so he turned his face when he turned his back.

Lin Jue couldn't hold back anymore, and talked about his thoughts with Li Yibai, "After all, two big men are together, and I don't know if Daiyu can accept it. In fact, Daiyu's words have been urging me to get married recently. , I can't bear to hide it from her like this."

Compared to Lin Jue's distress, Li Yibai didn't take it seriously, "We didn't want to hide it, but now that Daiyu is married, you should tell her about it, so as to teach her to know. After all, you are a man, and you You have no elders, and you often communicate in the inner house, and others will inquire about your marriage through Daiyu. If you brothers and sisters can't be united, then it will be troublesome."

This is quite true, even though the two of them recognize Mrs. Zuo as their aunt, Mrs. Zuo sincerely treats them as their nephews. In such matters, Mrs. Zuo can only spread the word, and will not really make decisions for him .What's more, the Jia family, after several incidents before, Mrs. Jia didn't dare to make up for Lin Jue.

Now if Daiyu misses the word that Lin Jue wants to get married, I am afraid that a swarm of matchmakers will come to the door at that time, and it will be difficult to dismiss.

"However, this is not an ordinary matter. Daiyu is pregnant again, so you should be more tactful when you say it."

Lin Jue nodded, and immediately pushed Li Yibai, "It's all thanks to you, if it weren't for you, there would be so many things."

Li Yibai smiled, "That's why we are so attractive. Tell me, if you didn't meet me, would you have to marry a wife and have children, and spend your whole life with a woman?"

Seeing his complacent look, Lin Jue became angry, "Don't say that, maybe I now have a lot of beautiful wives and beautiful concubines, legitimate sons and concubines." Touching his bare chin, "Actually, if you think about it this way, it's not too late now!"

Li Yibai knew that Lin Jue was joking, so he was not in a hurry, and stretched out his hand to tickle Lin Jue's armpit.Lin Jue's body was full of itches and flesh. After being touched like this, she immediately shivered and twisted her body to avoid the messy hand.Originally, the two were close to each other, but now Lin Jue made a move, which made Li Yibai angry. He really didn't know whether he was playing tricks on Lin Jue or punishing himself.

After a few days, Lin Jue took the opportunity to have a detailed talk with Daiyu, but she didn't know what she said. When Daiyu came out, her eyes were red and swollen, and she cried again when she saw Xie Jinxuan.

Lin Jue was also helpless, he should hide it from Daiyu, he couldn't bear it, so don't hide it, thinking about Daiyu crying just now, he felt quite guilty.

Xie Jinxuan held Daiyu in his arms and comforted him in a low voice. Lin Jue winked at him quietly, intending to go out by herself and leave the space for the couple.

Xie Jinxuan understood, and nodded to Lin Jue, telling him to go quickly.

After all, Daiyu was pregnant with Liujia, and now she was stimulated by Lin Jue so much, although she was not ill, she was still unhappy for several days.Xie Jinxuan specially took Daiyu to live in the hot spring village accompanied by Lin's family in the outskirts for a few days, and coaxed her softly every day. When she came back, Daiyu's complexion was much better.

Lin Jue regretted telling Daiyu about it impulsively. After all, Daiyu was pregnant with a child, and she always liked to think about it, and what to do if there was an emergency.Fortunately, Daiyu is fine, otherwise, where would he become a nephew?

Daiyu's body was getting heavier, and because of what Lin Jue had told her earlier, she was too lazy to go out. Mother Jia sent a message several times to invite her to the house, but she didn't go.Mother Jia could not help but send her confidant nanny to the Prince's Mansion in Xining County to have a look, and she was relieved when she saw that Daiyu was indeed fine.

Daiyu had a careful mind, and she guessed some points at first, but now she got the confidence from her brother, she still couldn't accept it for a while.Fortunately, although I was sad in my heart, I was worried about the little one in my stomach, so I gradually let go of my heart.

But every time I think about it, I always feel that I have lost my brother so much. Look at the Xue family, isn't Xue Pan getting married and having children here, and the relationship with the outside is not broken, why is my brother not able to do it.

Moreover, the king of Yonghe County also has a wife and son, how can he restrain his elder brother and prevent people from getting married.After all, Daiyu is a pure ancient person, so she inevitably has the idea that the right way is to pass on the family line.Besides, my elder brother saw that he was at a disadvantage. With Daiyu's protective nature, how could he agree to it.

But Daiyu was also angry with her brother, and ignored Lin Jue for more than two months.It's still the Chinese New Year, the Xie family only has Xie Jinxuan and Daiyu, and the Lin family only has Lin Jue, so it's not good to bring this spirit to the New Year, and it's even worse to leave only my brother alone at home.

Xie Jinxuan and Daiyu sincerely invited her, and Lin Jue was not the kind of person to put on airs, and she was going to her own sister's house, so there was nothing to be polite about, so she agreed to spend the next year together.It's just that the Lin family doesn't have much time to spare, so they eat with Xie Jinxuan and Daiyu during the day on New Year's Eve, but they still have to go back to their home to watch the New Year's Eve at night.What Lin Jue said was reasonable, but Daiyu couldn't say more.

Master Luo went to Yunnan a few days ago, and came back just in time for the year. He happened to celebrate the New Year with a few people, and the New Year's Eve was also observed directly with Lin Jue.

Li Yibai was going to the palace to attend the palace banquet during the day, Lin Jue hadn't entered yet, so he didn't need to go.In the evening, as the master of the Prince's Mansion of Yonghe County, Li Yibai couldn't leave directly. He had to show face to the concubine anyway. He went to sit with the concubine for a while and let his sons and daughters say a few auspicious words.

After all the work was done, Li Yibai hurried to Lin Jue.Fortunately, there was no curfew in the city around New Year's Eve, otherwise Li Yibai would be the prince, so he wouldn't be able to walk around casually.

"I've been busy all day, but I'm exhausted. Quickly pour me a cup of tea to moisten my throat." Li Yibai slumped on the soft couch in a disorganized manner, and beckoned Lin Jue's maid to pour him tea.

Master Luo was old after all, and when he saw Li Yibai coming, he went to rest in his room, out of sight and out of mind.

Li Yibai waited for Master Luo to leave, Fang whispered to Lin Jue, "Master Luo still waiting to see me?"

Lin Jue rolled his eyes at him, "My master doesn't like to have anything to do with the Gongmen the most. You tricked my master to remove the poison for the prince and involved my master in the matter of seizing the heir. Of course, the master is not happy." .”

Li Yibai rubbed his nose embarrassingly. He didn't want to lie to Master Luo, but after all, the matter was very important, the imperial doctor in the palace could not be trusted, and Master Luo knew the basics after all, and he had never been involved with the officials, so he could rest assured to call People remove poison.

Speaking of this matter, Lin Jue couldn't help being curious, Li Yiyang was the prince after all, who could poison him quietly without leaking traces.

Li Yibai sneered, "Who else, except the Sixth Prince's family, who has the guts to harm the Yuanhou's lineage. How do you think the position of the third brother Prince came? Isn't it because the emperor wanted to appease the Yuanhou's lineage?" Quickly put the third brother in that position. Although the emperor originally wanted the third brother, but because of his temperament, he still planned to observe and test it again. It was just that the third brother was found to be poisoned by accident, so he hurriedly stood up. The crown prince takes care of his courtiers."

Lin Jue had expected this a long time ago, but he didn't expect that it was the sixth prince who did it. After all, he didn't look so stupid, "Are you sure?"

"There is no evidence. The little maid who poisoned the prince had already hanged herself. There is no involvement behind her. How can I find out. Besides, the sixth prince is the emperor's own son. This trumped-up charge was placed on him."

"Actually speaking," Lin Jue thought for a while, and continued, "It may not be the sixth prince and Empress Chen who did it, after all, the fact is too conspicuous, anyone with a brain can think of who it is, but not Evidence, isn’t the emperor suspicious of him? I see that the emperor is not such a stupid person, and he hasn’t touched the sixth prince and empress Chen yet, which means that he also suspects that they didn’t do it. There are no clues now. You and the sixth prince have been in an endless situation for a long time, why should you care about this extra account. Now the emperor has more than three adult princes, don't others have any idea at all? Think about Kangxi's seizure of the throne in Jiulong, the eighth The prince's biological mother is just a lowly native of Xin Zheku, so doesn't he have the strength to compete?"

Li Yibai was taken aback, "It's because our vision is narrow. When you said this, I thought of the fourth prince, King An Ning. He is usually low-key, and he likes to play with words and ink. He doesn't participate in half of the government affairs. The prince and I have deliberately wooed him, but what can he do?" If he has no interest in government affairs, that's fine. The emperor also arranged for him to do errands, but he often messed up on purpose, which made the emperor angry. However, his mother's family status is not low, and the emperor is not good at what to do with him. So I casually gave him a title and let him go freely."

Both Lin Jue and Li Yibai knew that this book was written against the background of the Cao family in the Kangxi Dynasty. Although the battle between the royal family and the concubine was not clearly written, there was still some hints between the lines.It's just that Li Yibai is in the palace, and the situation is far from that of Kangxi's Jiulong seizure of the throne, so he didn't add up.Now that Lin Jue said it, it reminded him.

"According to this," Lin Jue murmured, "Either the fourth prince is really a character like a wild crane, or he has a big picture, and the prince has to guard against it."

Now I can be said to be a member of the crown prince's lineage with a seal. The emperor knows it, but still uses him, which shows that the emperor is not dissatisfied with the prince.At least, for a period of time, the emperor will not have the idea of ​​abolishing the prince.When Emperor Kangxi abolished the crown prince, it was the crown prince who misbehaved and repeatedly committed crimes. Thinking about it, the current crown prince would not do such a stupid thing.

Emperor Hongzheng is not too old, but he is not too young. He has not yet developed the heart to guard against his son, but as he gets older, will he not be able to do so all the time.Lin Jue felt that it was better to plan ahead for some things. How could the emperor's mind be so easy to guess?

The two of them murmured for a while, after all, it's New Year's Eve, these bad things should be thought about later, it's rare to have idle time, so they want to talk about romance and love.

After New Year's Day, on the first day of the new year, the emperor wanted to have a big banquet for his ministers, and the prince proposed to hold a banquet for thousands of elders to have fun with the people, and the emperor also agreed.Lin Jue was not eligible to participate in the banquet. As usual, there was a blessing dish bestowed by the emperor. Lin Jue dedicated all of it to his ancestors, and he didn't touch a single bite.

After the new year, all officials still have a one-month holiday. It is said that it is January. In fact, ordinary officials should go to the Yamen to apply for a job on the 85th day of the year.

On the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month, there is no curfew for three days before and after.In the past, when Daiyu was at home, Lin Jue would always lead Daiyu out for a day with his eyes open, loosen his muscles and bones, and watch the excitement.Xie Jinxuan also took the opportunity to meet Daiyu.Therefore, during the Lantern Festival this year, Xie Jinxuan and Daiyu spent the festival together for the first time in an open and aboveboard manner, so they would naturally go out and walk around.

This is also Xie Jinxuan's enlightenment. In general, wealthy families, who claim to be well-behaved, never allow their female relatives to go out.

However, Daiyu also wore a gauze hat and sat in a sedan chair, but the more he went to the bustling places, the more difficult it was for the sedan chair to get in. Xie Jinxuan had to drag Daiyu for a few steps, and was worried that others would touch Daiyu indiscriminately. stomach, and dare not go to lively places.

Daiyu was happy as long as she came out for a walk, and she didn't care where she went. Later, when she saw a lot of people, they stopped crowding at the place where they guessed lantern riddles. They found an elegant teahouse, went upstairs, and asked In the private room, watch the excitement through the window.

Lin Jue and Li Yibai also came out together. Li Yibai hugged Lin Yi, and Lin Jue led Nian'an. When he looked up, he saw Xie Jinxuan looking down.

Daiyu also saw Lin Jue and Li Yibai through the gauze hat, pursed her lips, and finally let Xie Jinxuan let them come over.After all, Lin Yi was young, and it was not good to encounter such a crowded crowd.

This was the first time Daiyu saw Li Yibai after Lin Jue and Daiyu confessed, and the siblings were inevitably a little embarrassed.

After looking at the private room for a few times, Lin Jue said, "We searched for a long time but couldn't find a place to stay. My brother-in-law had the foresight to book the private room in advance."

Xie Jinxuan smiled awkwardly, "I didn't book in advance. I didn't expect there to be so many people this year. I came here by chance. I didn't expect the owner of Fuyaju to recognize me, so he lent me the private room reserved by my family. Me, it’s cheaper for me.”

Lin Jue chuckled, but couldn't continue talking. Daiyu sat on the seat, looking at something and thinking, and didn't say a word.

Lin Jue rubbed his nose and said to Daiyu: "It's very warm in this room, my sister should take off her gauze hat, there are no outsiders around, don't get bored."

It was originally a word of concern, but after finishing speaking, Lin Jue felt that his taste had changed, and fell into embarrassment again.

Lin Jue was embarrassed, but she didn't want Daiyu to listen to this, thought about it for a while, and took off her gauze hat.Lin Jue was stunned for a moment, and looked at Li Yibai, who was completely oblivious to playing with Lin Yi.

Daiyu didn't seem to see Li Yibai, and didn't care if he was the county prince or not, she just focused on talking to her brother.Lin Jue knew that Daiyu hadn't fully passed the hurdle yet, so she didn't say much, and only chatted with Daiyu.

Lin Yi yawned later, Lin Jue, Li Yi, Baifang bid farewell to Daiyu and Xie Jinxuan, and told Daiyu to add clothes, Lin Jue walked away without turning his head.

Li Yibai hugged Lin Yi, who was tightly wrapped, looking for the Lin family's carriage, and hurried up first.The charcoal fire was always burning in the carriage, and it was still warm at this time. Li Yibai took off two pieces of clothes wrapped around Lin Yi, and told Lin Jue, "It's warm in the carriage, take off your coat, and go out after a while." I was sweating."

Lin Jue took off his coat, stared at Li Yibai for a long time, and then slowly said: "Now you are more and more like a housekeeper."
