[Red Mansion] Raiders of the heir

Although the Empress Dowager personally ordered Concubine Xiande and Concubine Yi to be in charge of the harem, but after all, because Concubine Xiande had just had a miscarriage, her name was just a prettiest name, but she herself was just recuperating in Fengzao Palace every day. You can't go to pay respects in front of you, let alone take charge of the affairs of the harem.

Concubine Xiande has been in confinement since she meditated, and everything she uses has been strictly controlled by someone. That day she just used the anti-abortion medicine ordered by the empress.These have always been things that should be taken care of by the queen. In the first few months, she was very careful because of instability, so she asked people to check them carefully. There was never anything wrong, and then she gradually calmed down. .But she didn't expect that she was careless this time, and every time she thought about what happened this time, she hated the queen so much that she gritted her teeth.

Because of this, the empress fell into disrepair, and she couldn't even keep the phoenix seal. Jia Yuanchun felt resentful but at the same time he got a little comfort. Now that the phoenix seal is in her hands, it is impossible to say that the imperial concubine or even the imperial concubine's seat is waiting for her. This child is really her lucky star.Because of Jia Yuanchun's health, when she asked the empress dowager to see her family, the empress dowager generously allowed Mrs. Wang to visit her in the palace.

Mrs. Wang is currently depressed. Because Baoyu and Jia Lan failed to pass the exam, there is no laughter in the Rongguo Mansion for the past few days. She thinks it’s okay for Lan’er to fail the exam. After all, she is still young. She just went to the academy to study again, but her Baoyu has been studying for more than ten years, and since she was a child, her intelligence is unmatched by ordinary people, why didn't she get in?The more Wang thought about it, the more he felt that God was unfair.

This day, I just heard that someone came to tell her to enter the palace. After thinking about it, I went to Aunt Xue. At this time, Aunt Xue was doing needlework alone in the room. Have you eaten yet?"

"I came here with food, what are you doing?" Mrs. Wang asked seeing Aunt Xue sewing carefully.

Aunt Xue raised her head and smiled slightly, and said: "It's not Bao girl, but now she has been promoted to the young master, she said that she is very busy inside, and she has to teach the girls around her, the emperor is used to her serving, and has no time to do it." As for the needlework, she is used to me making these close-fitting little clothes, and she is also picky, so I make a few pieces every season and ask someone to bring them in."

Mrs. Wang took the finished one below and saw that it was light warm pink, but there was a light orange rose flower embroidered on the upper left side of the bottom skirt. Said: "My sister has been dexterous since she was a child, so I can't do these things."

"It's just that I have nothing to do when I'm free, but my sister is looking for me?" Aunt Xue said.

Mrs. Wang straightened up subconsciously, and said: "By the way, come here and ask, Concubine Xiande is not in good health, and now she holds the Phoenix Seal, and she works so hard every day that even the Empress Dowager loves her so much, so she allowed me to go in and have a look, to comfort both of you. The meaning of the sentence, I thought Bao girl was also inside, so I came to ask if there is anything I want to bring?"

Aunt Xue's fingers subconsciously stopped, and then she thought that at the beginning of Yuanchun, she was just a palace maid, and her family Baochai was promoted to the young master only two years after entering, and how it will be uncertain in the future, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, saying : "My sister is interested, just bring these few small clothes I made for her. This spring is getting warmer and warmer, and this silk is also comfortable to wear." After thinking about it, he said, "That's right. My sister came back last time and said that Concubine Xiande is heavy and it is extremely inconvenient to do things. I understand the situation there now, so I will give my sister some money to help her. Now that I have Lin'er, it is also my responsibility Auntie's heart."

As Aunt Xue said, she asked Xiangling to take out a stack of bank notes that she had prepared a long time ago. Mrs. Wang looked through and there were about 500 taels, and she became happy. Now that Xue Baochai has gone inside, Aunt Xue is very happy. She became more and more respectful, but she was very sensible.And here, Aunt Xue took out some more, and said: "It's rare for my sister to go in once, so I don't have to ask others to hand it over. Although Bao girl is just a little master, there are also many filial piety everywhere. This is 100 taels, there are some parts and some wholes, my sister will take it for her for me."

Mrs. Wang got the money from Aunt Xue and sat for a while before returning to Rongguo Mansion. The next day the weather was fine, so she got dressed and went to the palace early in the morning.

The mother and daughter have not seen each other for a long time. Although Jia Yuanchun is well maintained, she is not young after all. This baby is so lost or even moved. Even the imperial doctor said that it will be difficult to sit still in the future. Now that I see Mrs. Wang, The grievances and boredom in my heart came out all at once, and I burst into tears without saying a word.

Mrs. Wang made her cry so hard that her heart ached, and she couldn't speak while holding hands. After a long while, Jia Yuanchun asked, "How is Yiren?"

Mrs. Wang saw that she was well, so she let go of her hand and said, "Well, Concubine Xiande is worried. You are tired now, so you have to take care of yourself." Mrs. Wang only knew that although Yuan Chun had not been promoted to the throne, she had already taken charge of the phoenix. But I didn't know that the child was lost. Although she saw her crying uncomfortably, she thought it was because she wanted to fall in love with her family, and didn't think about it, so she took out the 300 taels of silver note she had prepared earlier, and said, "Keep these things in order, don't worry too much about it, it will be a blessing if you give birth to Lin'er in the future."

Jia Yuanchun almost burst into tears when he heard this, the female officer next to her saw her holding the piano, and hurried over to catch her, but Mrs. Wang didn't notice her expression, someone urged Mrs. Wang to leave the palace.Mrs. Wang sighed, took out another 50 taels of small clothes made by Aunt Xue, and said, "My aunt asked me to bring it to Bao Yatou. Concubine Xiande asked someone to give it to her?"

Jia Yuanchun nodded and ordered Baoqin to take it. For a while, the mother and daughter were weeping, and Mrs. Wang got up reluctantly to say a word.However, before going out, Xue Baochai came in with a bowl of hot soup. Seeing Mrs. Wang, she couldn't help being startled, then smiled at her, and without daring to speak, she lowered her head and walked to the bed, saying, "Your Majesty is drinking this The soup tasted bland, and she said that the empress liked it, so she asked the servants to bring it over."

Baoqin listened, and when Jia Yuanchun thanked her, he brought a small bowl of red lotus and green leaves, filled half of the bowl from Xue Baochai's, and fed it to her one bite at a time.Mrs. Wang watched this scene quietly, and saw several little girls and eunuchs standing on one side, who did not dare to speak, and saw that no one was urging her, and she only wanted to see Baochai called Mrs. Yuanchun, but she hesitated but refused to leave. .

Yuan Chun drank it all at once, wiped his mouth and said: "I like this soup after drinking it, thank you Your Majesty for thinking about it, let me put it down and drink it slowly, please come back first, girl, there is no need to delay here, After a while, I'll ask someone to bring the bowl back to you. Just now, Yiren came in to see me and brought you something, remember to come and pick it up when you come down in the afternoon."

"Yes." Xue Baochai Fu Yifu handed the hot soup to another girl who came to pick it up. She had already gone to serve the piano again, so Xue Baochai backed out in small steps, and Mrs. Wang here resigned and Yuanchun also left up.

The two left the main hall one after another. Seeing that Xue Baochai was standing in front of her waiting for her, Madam Wang hurried over and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you since Bao girl came in, but now she's getting more and more out of it."

Xue Baochai's face changed slightly, but remembering what Mrs. Wang and Jia Yuanchun did when they first entered the palace, she didn't want to remind her of some things, so she said with a smile: "Thank you for your compliment, how are you, mom and brother?"

Mrs. Wang nodded and said: "Okay, everything is fine. My aunt is looking for a marriage for Pan'er. She has talked to several families. She told me a few days ago that the daughter of Osmanthus Xia's family is a good one. Look. It's rather interesting, I reckon it will be settled soon, maybe half a year at most, and I'll be able to get married."

Xue Baochai nodded and said, "That's good."

Mrs. Wang asked again: "I heard from my aunt that you have been promoted to the young master, and now you are even more busy. You have to take care of yourself."

Xue Baochai lowered her head and smiled, "Thank you, Auntie."

Xue Baochai looked around and saw that there was no one around, and walked a few steps forward with Mrs. Wang, and said softly: "Auntie, please be at ease, the emperor is good to the elder sister, this one is not so lucky, and there will be another one, and you will be happy." The only way to feel relieved for eldest sister is that now the emperor is busy with government affairs from day to midnight, and he always remembers the taste that eldest sister likes, this dignity is unmatched by anyone in this palace."

Mrs. Wang was stunned for a moment, and after a while she came back to her senses and said, "You, you mean... Lin'er is gone?"

Seeing that Mrs. Wang didn't know, Xue Baochai couldn't help being curious. Even if Concubine Xiande didn't say anything, it was not because of empress dowager's sympathy to call her into the palace. Just when she entered, Concubine Xiande was still crying with red eyes. , even if the weather is cold and the quilt is thick, but Mrs. Wang is a mother after all, so she didn't see that she was sad?

Seeing Mrs. Wang walking away in a daze, Xue Baochai thought that the emperor should not be away for too long, so she hurried back to answer the question, and naturally let the matter go.

When Xue Baochai returned to Qianqing Palace, Xia Shouzhong was waiting in front of Tu Hong, and when he saw her arriving, he secretly gave her a wink and told her to keep quiet.The strategies of the top three have just been sent up, the emperor is looking at the three articles, and six of the eight adults who have read the papers all recommend the same one, remembering the last time I almost got into a fight over two articles The situation is rare this time.Tu Hong picked up the article that was unanimously approved, but saw that the writing was vigorous and powerful, and it really was a good handwriting, so he couldn't help laughing.So when Xue Baochai came in, Tu Hong was watching with a smile on the corner of his mouth to see how the article was doing. It was better than what he saw with Tu Yan before.

"The hermit...huh?" Tu Hong pondered while holding the article, and the smile on his face showed that he was in a good mood.

Tu Hong never asks maids to wait in front of him, because when he is reviewing memorials, he smells the faint fragrance and always feels uneasy. He is still at the age of youth, and in order to be a good emperor with a pure heart, he has to be called Xia Shouzhong. Sun was by his side, but this Xia Shouzhong was the one who liked him the most, he didn't know anything about it, and never said gossip.

Although this Xue Baochai has been promoted to the young master for a few days, she always brings tea and supper and then leaves. At this time, listening to the emperor's casual question, she subconsciously went to see Xia Shouzhong, and saw that his expression did not change. Bowed and stood, but there was no intention of answering.Xue Baochai also knew that with Xia Shouzhong here, she couldn't talk casually. However, she was not the same as Xia Shouzhong. He followed the emperor while peeing, but she urgently needed a chance.Although speaking at this time is a crisis, it may be a good time for her to wait. She firmly believes that the emperor is just asking casually. This word is probably the intention of the article in his hand, and it will not involve any major political affairs. She also understands This emperor is definitely not a tyrant who wants her to die just because of the words, so after a little thought in his heart, he loses his courage. If the emperor values ​​her because of this, then the future will be full of riches and honor.

So Xue Baochai said softly: "It's small, it's fragrant and beautiful."

Tu Hong raised his eyebrows, looked up at Xue Baochai, and couldn't help laughing, but no one could see the treachery on his lips, and asked, "What's your name?"

Xue Baochai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, hearing the emperor's tone, her heart jumped wildly: she succeeded!

"Back to the emperor, servant Xue Baochai."

Tuhong naturally knew her, this question was just pretending to show others, he suddenly nodded and said: "I remember you, good name." At this moment, Xue Baochai thought that the emperor asked her to come out alone, and then directly left her behind. The reason why she was serving by her side was because she fell in love with her name.

Tu Hong asked again: "Ever studied?"

"Yes."

Tu Hong looked at her with a smile, and dare to say that she could hold her own. This girl really deserved to come out of the Rongguo Mansion, so she casually put the article in her hand and said, "Come on, comment on this article." How is the article doing?"

Xia Shouzhong rolled his eyes silently, and sure enough, the emperor became bored after a while, and saw Xue Baochai knelt down in fright, and said in a low voice, "I dare not."

Tu Hong laughed loudly, waved his hands contentedly and said, "Well, let's go down."

On the eighteenth day of the third month, the emperor announced in the Hall of Supreme Harmony the admission of scholars, and some people in the palace posted the emperor's list in various parts of the capital to announce to the world.Someone from the Lin family came to report first, saying that they had won the number one prize, and invited Lin Wei to attend the Qionglin Banquet in the palace.

The Qionglin Banquet was set in the imperial garden, so it was the time of endless spring, the tips of the branches were green, the hearts of the flowers were rolling with morning dew, the refreshing fragrance was accompanied by the flying flowers, the scene in the garden was truly as beautiful as a fairyland.Before Lin Wei walked into the venue, he heard the melodious and gentle music coming out, it really was a sign of festive prosperity.

For a while, all the new scholars arrived, and delicious food and wine were placed on the tables everywhere. After a while, Tu Hong stepped on the falling flowers and came smiling, dressed in bright yellow and beautiful.Lin Wei raised his head inadvertently, as if he saw Tu Yan walking towards him, and that pleasant smile made him remember it all the time.

Because Lin Wei was the number one scholar, this person was the closest to the emperor. After Xia Shouzhong sang, Lin Wei led all the Jinshi to toast to thank the emperor for his kindness.

Holding the wine cup in his hand, Tu Hong looked at the flowers falling and dancing behind Lin Wei, and couldn't help but think of Xue Baochai's compliment of "you are fragrant and beautiful" - when will his daughter be born!

Tu Hong focused his attention and focused his eyes, and said with a smile, "Lin Wei is from Jiangsu. As the saying goes, Jiangnan talents are unparalleled in elegance. It can be seen that there is some truth in this statement. Looking at you now, I feel the same way. Fifteen years old this year Okay, do you have words?"

Lin Wei secretly rolled her eyes, thinking that if the emperor would be wronged by being a film king after a few hundred years, she replied respectfully: "I dare not accept the emperor's ridiculous praise, my minister is just fifteen, and I have no words yet."

That's good, I'll take the rights of the emperor's uncle first!

Tu Hong nodded his head as if he was in deep thought, and pondered: "Since that's the case, I'll give you a word—Yin Youfang and Shen Qiongju, if you open Yupu and see Yinghua, you can call it Zixian." Lin Wei listened Thanks again for the emperor's kindness, other scholars also came up to congratulate. For a while, there was a staggering exchange of cups and chips in the imperial garden, and everyone was talking and laughing.

What followed was the three-day parade of the No. [-] Scholar, the No. [-] and Tan Hua wearing red and colorful horses. The atmosphere in this expensive place in Kyoto was boiling for a while, and it was difficult to express it in words. However, Lin Wei's long-cherished wish could not be realized in the end.Tu Yan said that it would be too embarrassing to go to the street to chase after the number one scholar, and he would not do it even if he was killed, let alone send any roses, but let him wear the red number one scholar robe and show it in the palace. Regarding this, Lin Wei was brooding.

Lin Wei arrived in a room of Prince Rui's mansion wearing a bright red wedding dress. Tu Yan was staring at the door with one hand on his chin in a daze, when he saw him come in he raised his lips and smiled, saying: "Zixian?"

Lin Wei raised his arms and twirled around, feeling that he was quite suave, so he turned around and asked, "Sir, is it good-looking?"

"Yeah." How stupid!

So Lin Wei moved closer to Tu Yan, and said cheekily: "The roses are gone, sir, please give me a kiss?"

Tu Yan's breath was suffocated, and his face turned slightly red. Lin Wei noticed his change carefully, and his heart immediately warmed up: Sure enough, the emperor has paid off, the scumbag emperor will take your Xue Baochai!

Lin Wei stretched out his hand and hooked Tu Yan's neck, and the red wedding robe vaguely concealed the two of them together, and they even heard each other's beating hearts.Seeing that Tu Yan closed his eyes subconsciously, the slightly trembling eyelashes made him want to go crazy, he took a few deep breaths to settle his mind, and then he leaned up cautiously.

When Lin Wei tentatively tried to pick Tu Yan's teeth, he felt that he just hesitated a little and then let go.

Their lips and teeth intertwined for a moment, and the body temperature of the two of them rose sharply. Unlike Tu Yan's reserved last time, this time, under Lin Wei's repeated pestering, they quickly tentatively catered to him, clumsily lingering with him.

Feeling a hesitant hand clinging to his waist, Lin Wei covered Tu Yan's entire body with a stride of his long legs. The tip of his dexterous tongue teased the sensitive place in his mouth all the way, and the other hand followed suit. to his supple waist.

Tu Yan let out a muffled pant, and then his body froze slightly. Lin Wei felt that he was uncomfortable, and carefully rubbed his palms on his back, as if gently comforting him, and even his lips and tongue moved softly. down.

Finally, when Tu Yan's low groan overflowed imperceptibly, Lin Wei's palm sank a little, and he slowly swam around him with a seductive moan. Lin Wei's breath was long and heavy, this disciple Yan seldom dabbled in this area, and he led him all the way to climb to the misty and ethereal illusory land...

Difficult to breathe, mind wandering, and he didn't even know where his thoughts flew—Lin Wei looked at him and became obsessed, and felt the arms around his waist unconsciously becoming tighter. Speeding up little by little, stalking, teasing and seduction only exhausted what he had learned in his life to entangle that fragrant and moist place.

I don't know how long it has passed, until Tu Yan struggled slightly, Lin Wei reluctantly opened his lips, and then embraced the body below him into his arms.At this moment, Tu Yan was feeling weak all over, and he turned his head slightly to his collarbone to breathe, and he didn't speak for a long time.Lin Wei heard that his breath gradually calmed down, Fang lowered his head to his ear, and said softly: "Sir, I will send you a champion."

"En." Tu Yan's voice floated low to his ears.
