The Untouchable Daiyu of the Red Chamber

In fact, there is nothing to participate in the palace banquet. The rules are cumbersome and there are too many people. When the dishes are served, many hot dishes are cold. It is really not as comfortable as eating at home.

However, due to the rules of hunting in this dynasty, many times they set off to Iron Net Mountain before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and there were not many Mid-Autumn Palace banquets, and even if they were held, the scale was not too large.It is said that there is no precedent for the tour, even if the Mid-Autumn Festival is in the capital this year, the royal family members can enter the palace to receive a banquet, and the civil and military officials will each receive a bowl of lucky dishes.Why did it hold a grand palace banquet that courtiers were invited to participate in?

Others may not be able to see it, but Daiyu and Situ Zhuo are very clear: this is the letter of war written by others.

Daiyu has never been a person who is timid before fighting.Besides, Changkang Palace and the Nine Princes are the king, and the Lin family is the ministers. The battlefield is only designed by Changkang Palace and Daiyu passively fights.That being the case, it is better to defeat the opponent on the opponent's battlefield for the first time.

In war, what is fought is a momentum.Why do many wars have a watershed? After a certain party achieves a breakthrough victory at the watershed, the subsequent wars will be overwhelming.

Since Little Concubine Zhong already knew that Daiyu might be the key figure in the outcome of the East Palace and Changkang Palace, a head-on confrontation between Daiyu and Concubine Zhong was inevitable.That being the case, Daiyu might as well give the other party a speedy battle.

When he learned that this year's Mid-Autumn Festival was going to hold a palace banquet, Situ Zhuo also quickly thought of the safety of himself and Daiyu, so he wrote a long letter and asked Liu Xianglian to bring it to Xiangyu.

There is no specific strategy in this letter.Situ Zhuo also knew that Miss Lin was smart, and the strategies he could think of might not be better than others, nor might they be suitable for Miss Lin.The content on Situ Zhuoxin is the temperament of everyone in the main network of Changkang Palace.

In addition to the female relatives of King Dongping, King Nan'an, Duke Cheng's Mansion, and Marquis Baoling's Mansion that Daiyu had met in Cheng En Gong Mansion, there was also Chen Shi, the concubine of the Nine Princes.

I have to say that Concubine Zhong has a unique vision for picking her in-laws.The Ninth Prince married a girl from the Hou family, on the surface she was no more noble than a girl from a different surname or from a prince's mansion. Even the former Concubine Zhen was not easy to pick on Concubine Zhong's faults.But if you think about it carefully, how beneficial this marriage is.

The in-laws of Duke Cheng'en's mansion include Nan'an King Huo's family guarding the West Coast, Dongping Wang Mu's family in Shanhaiguan, Zhongjinghou Shi Ding of Guangdong Hai, and Beijianghou, the chief soldier of Beijiang Prefecture.Changkang Palace seized the military power of the Quartet almost silently.Of course, in terms of wisdom, Concubine Zhen is inferior to Concubine Xiao Zhong. Before the fall of the Zhen family, Concubine Zhen always thought that Concubine Zhen was wooing these families to pave the way for the East Palace, so she always targeted the East Palace.

It wasn't until after the fall of the Zhen family that Concubine Zhen became Concubine Zhen, and the mother and son were struggling to find a way out, that they discovered that Concubine Zhong, mother and son had serious schemes.This incident hit Concubine Zhen very hard, because she finally realized that even if she defeated the Eastern Palace, she might not be able to defeat Concubine Zhong.This woman's palace is too deep.

Of course Daiyu's wisdom is more than ten times better than that of Concubine Zhen.Daiyu thought of this when she heard her parents briefly talk about the princes' in-laws and mother clans.As for the letter from Situ Zhuo, it was a great supplement to what Daiyu knew before.

Situ Zhuo lived in the palace since he was a child, and he had a meticulous adult mind since he was a baby.Besides, babies can't talk and can often hear more secrets.That's not to mention, ever since Situ Zhuo knew that he had entered the Dream of Red Mansions and was the youngest son of the deposed prince, he had been planning what to do when he was still peeing his pants.

For example, everyone in the palace knew that Qilang of the East Palace was a little dull when he was a child, and he still couldn't speak when he was three years old.He looks good-looking and shrewd, and he always smiles wherever he goes.

Of course, no one suspected that there was something wrong with Situ Zhuo or that he was pretending.Firstly, he was really a dumpling at that time; secondly, everyone knows that Donggong Qilang was seriously ill when he was born, and the imperial doctor said that there was no way to save him. Even being slow is helpless.

It's certainly not that Situ Zhuo really can't speak, but children are the most unguarded.Situ Zhuo simply pretended to be stupid and went around the court. He really collected a lot of information in those three years.

Of course, after the age of three, Situ Zhuo couldn't keep pretending to be stupid, and finally spoke, otherwise Concubine Zhen would have to blame Lin Qing for not raising her grandson well.Three years old is an excellent time point. Although the development is later than other phoenix sons and grandchildren, Situ Zhuo looks not much different from ordinary three-year-old children.

If he was older, Situ Zhuo's IQ seemed to be fine, but his temper was a bit weird.The main manifestation is that Situ Zhuo is kind to the palace people, very nice, he and the palace people around him can't wait to eat and live together.He has always been polite and courteous to the rough servants such as sweeping the palace, which is very popular with the palace people.This also laid the foundation for Situ Zhuo to have a strong intelligence network in the palace.

Of course, Situ Zhuo's kindness to the palace people is due to his deep-rooted habit as a modern soldier. Who told him that he used to be a soldier of the people.Just like modern people, regardless of their status and status, they will respect a cleaner if they are well-cultivated, and feel that they are equal to him in personality; Situ Zhuo also respects the labor of all kinds of palace people with different divisions of labor from the bottom of his heart and personality.

So Situ Zhuo's intelligence network in the palace is different from Changkang Palace's method of mainly relying on cronies, or buying or intimidating other palace people.Situ Zhuo's intelligence network has a certain meaning that in history, everyone in the world has nothing in common.

Were those hardworking people who voluntarily provided information to the party in history benefited, or were they threatened?No, they just got respect and saw hope.Similarly, the low-level palace people in the palace are as humble as ants, not only the palace masters never treat them as human beings, even the palace people who are slaves are shamelessly bullied.

But no matter how humble their status is, they are all flesh and blood with all kinds of emotions and six desires. Situ Zhuo treats them differently from other people, and these palace people can feel it.Therefore, it is very easy for this wonderful grandson to ask something.

Under such a background, the information that Situ Zhuo passed on to Daiyu was naturally more comprehensive than what Daiyu knew before.

For example, the Ninth Prince's Concubine Chen, the outside world knows that she was born in the Marquis Mansion of Northern Xinjiang, her father is in control of the military, and the Chen family is very respected in the Ninth Prince's Mansion. Even the little Concubine Zhong dotes on this daughter-in-law very much.But according to Situ Zhuo, the Ninth Concubine also has an arrogant and irritable side.

Daiyu is not so much reading the letter as she is reading a thick stack of resumes.Of course, Daiyu would not dare to keep this kind of thing lightly. What are you going to do by collecting the origins and personalities of the royal family members?Once this kind of thing falls into the hands of others, it can even be labeled as treason.

So Daiyu and Lin Ruhai looked through the resumes of the royal family members in the study, flipped through one, and threw one into the charcoal fire basin.It was a hot day, and thanks to their father and daughter, they could survive.

Needless to say, Lin Ruhai's father and daughter's memory skills, even though they only read it once, they also gained a new understanding of the Changkang Palace's network of contacts.

After reading the resumes of many of the female relatives of the Ninth Princes, Lin Ruhai sighed: "The little prince is also a bold and skilled person. If this kind of thing is intercepted halfway, I don't know how many disasters it will cause."

Daiyu said: "One is to attack the unprepared, and the other is the speed of soldiers. Since Changkang Palace is going to hold this Laoshi uterus banquet, since it is aimed at me, the main attention is naturally on our house. Besides, Changkang Palace can't think of it. The little prince will come up with such a thing, and he is negligent in guarding against it. It is best to send it out at such a time. After Changkang Palace cleans me up, it will not be easy to turn to stare at the little prince. Besides, the little prince is not Can you still transfer the tiger away from the mountain?"

Lin Ruhai thought about it for a second, and nodded with a frightening expression.The little prince is able to make such a stack of gadgets, he is very capable, so there is naturally a way to send this thing out.

Of course, it took a lot of trouble for Situ Zhuo to deliver such a stack of things.During this period of time, Situ Zhuo sent people close to the palace out in turn from time to time. Today he wanted to eat Qinglongchun's buns, and tomorrow he wanted to eat Guangyuanji's roast duck. He also ran around to the Ministry of Industry and Beijing Camp from time to time.

The Changkang Palace naturally kept a close eye on Situ Zhuo himself and Luo Yuan, who was sent by him to find Lin Ruhai in the past. Even Luo Yuan was robbed of his purse several times by pickpockets, and was robbed of a roast goose and a few buns. .This created an opportunity for Liu Xianglian.

Anyway, the information that Situ Zhuo sent this time is still very useful to Daiyu. The so-called knowing yourself and the enemy is not imperiled in a hundred battles, isn't it because after knowing the enemy, you can attack your heart first?

Seeing that the Mid-Autumn Festival is getting closer, Daiyu still arranges household chores with Su Lan and Yinglian in a leisurely manner.Even if you want to enter the palace to receive a banquet, there is still a lady in the mansion, and many servants, one of these three major festivals will always be lively.

A few sisters from the Lin family prepared gifts for Mr. Shen, and also bought new clothes and rewards for the servants of the whole family.Daiyu even had time to arrange the dishes for the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Seeing that her daughter was not in a hurry, Jia Min couldn't help asking Daiyu how she planned to arrange the palace banquet that day and who she would bring into the palace.

This Daiyu had planned a long time ago and decided to take Chunshan with her.Palace banquets are no different than others, and every family will not bring too many people, otherwise, who can afford to mix in some unknown people?Even one person and one attendant must register in advance, and the palace will be checked by the palace staff on the day of entering the palace.If something goes wrong, the master will also be jointly and severally responsible.

Jia Min frowned and said, "I originally thought about bringing Xiangyu into the palace."

Girls, except for the daughters of officials above the third grade who have the opportunity to enter the palace to receive a banquet, the only other opportunity to enter the palace is to participate in the draft.Therefore, some girls from rich and noble families entered the palace, and some daughters of side branches were brought into the palace as maidservants to meet the world.

Jia Min proposed to bring Xiangyu. Firstly, he naturally entered the palace to see the world, and he didn't feel wronged by Xiangyu;

Daiyu shook her head and said: "Although other people have done this a lot, how many people hate our family. In the future, when sister Xiangyu goes out, it is not good for someone to deliberately compare her to a maid. Mother, don't worry, I know it well, except me and Chunshan , and Sister Lan and Qingtan."

Qingtan is Su Lan's usual maid, and she followed her when she was practicing in Panxiang Temple. The two masters and servants can be regarded as sharing adversity. sandalwood.

Jia Min turned her head to look at Daiyu: "Our family accepted the post, but only your father and you and I will enter the palace to receive the banquet." Even the invitations to Cheng'en Gong's mansion must write the specific names of the invitees, let alone the palace banquet.

Daiyu said with a smile: "Mother, why did you forget? Now that the papers from coastal inspections are coming to Beijing one after another, the Holy Majesty is feeling that the death of Uncle Su is the loss of a pillar of the country. As long as someone mentions it in front of the Holy Majesty, they will surely love Sister Lan. Invitation card. Tomorrow is the first day of the new year, and it was originally the day to enter the palace to greet you. Let's just mention it a little while chatting in Fengzao Palace and Donggong Palace."

Concubine Zhong is not the only one who is in charge of the Sixth Palace.

The third prince under Concubine Zhou's knee also injured his leg while hunting in Iron Net Mountain, and it has been eight years.It is impossible for Concubine Zhou not to have suspected that something was wrong with taking part in the siege and returning home due to a leg disease and losing the possibility of inheriting the throne.But the other party did it really cleanly, the third prince's horse stepped into a horse pit by himself, and he can't blame others. In the end, the matter was only concubine Zhou's mother and son got some rewards as a consolation, and Concubine Zhou got the right to assist the sixth palace, so let it go .

At that time, the crown prince and the second prince were fighting fiercely, and the third prince was also a bit of a hero. The first thing Concubine Zhou suspected was the East Palace and Concubine Zhen.But now, the third prince is disabled, the second prince has lost power, and the court is still fighting for the sea trade.

If it was true that only the crown prince was fighting with the second prince, how could the court still fight after the second prince lost power, even causing Longyan to be furious.Concubine Zhou Guifei came back and found out that when the third prince had an accident, Concubine Zhong was also one of the suspects.

Her son's future has been ruined, even if Concubine Zhong is only one of the suspects, Concubine Zhou is happy to add trouble to her.So there was no need for Lin Qing to take action. Concubine Zhou Guifei immediately went back to Emperor Taizong when she knew about Su Lan, and made a post for Su Lan without saying a word to Concubine Zhong.

Of course, even if Concubine Zhou didn't mention this kind of thing, Concubine Zhong would know about it very quickly. Is the wooden head enough?After all, when the third prince had an accident, Concubine Zhou had suspected the wrong person for eight years.This kind of IQ concubine Zhong despises her very much.

This was just a small episode, and Concubine Zhong didn't think it would affect her plan, so she didn't take it seriously.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the four members of the Lin family went out early in the morning to wait for the car to go to the palace.Yinglian was in charge of the family affairs. As for Lin You, although he had also received an invitation to the palace banquet, Daiyu suggested that Lin You go to Mr. Lu's house to attend classes.

It was the festival of reunion, but there were only two old couples left in the Lu family. Since Mr. Lu accepted Lin You as a closed disciple, Lin You should also do some filial piety.Today, I said I went to class, rather I said I went to accompany my husband.

Lin Ruhai and his wife are also very much in favor of this proposal. Entering the palace to receive a banquet is said to be decent, but in fact it is tiring and cumbersome, and one has to be careful. It is really not as relaxed and fun as at home.

After entering the palace, Lin Ruhai went to the place where the courtiers received the banquet, while Jia Min, Daiyu and Su Lan went to the harem.The three of them first went to Fengzao Palace to meet Concubine Zhou, Concubine Zhou was just a few words of courtesy; as it was the first time for Su Lan to enter the palace, and Concubine Zhou asked for it in front of Emperor Taizong, Concubine Zhou even gave a special gift.

After leaving Fengzao Palace, the three of them went to Changkang Palace with their attendants.After entering the palace to see the ceremony, the two sides looked at each other.Based on the information Situ Zhuo passed on to her, Daiyu corresponded with everyone in Changkang Palace one by one.Soon, Daiyu recognized the Ninth Prince Concubine Chen.Mrs. Bowling Hou Daiyu has seen it before, and Mrs. Hou also has two girls beside her, but Xiangyun is nowhere to be seen.

Thinking about it, the people from Baolinghou's mansion no longer took her out after Xiangyun caused an accident in Cheng'en Gong's mansion last time.The living space of aristocratic girls is also very cruel. If you can't win honor for the family and show competitiveness, you will gradually fade out of social situations in the future.But for ancient aristocratic girls, fading out of social situations is almost equivalent to cutting off the chance to form a good relationship.

When Concubine Zhong saw Daiyu, her pupils shrank slightly.It is such a unparalleled girl who ruined her 20 years of planning. She was only a layer of window paper from success, and now she is on the verge of falling short.Rao is little Concubine Zhong's palace is extremely deep, and she can't express her emotions and anger, and now she is excited for a moment under the eyes of everyone.

Daiyu calmly took into account little Concubine Zhong's gaffe just now, Concubine Zhong was so excited that she couldn't control her expression under the eyes of everyone, presumably she already knew the plot of her previous life from Shui Lan.It is not easy for her to recover her normal color so quickly.

With only one eye contact with Daiyu, Concubine Zhong smiled at Jia Min with a calm expression: "Mrs. Shangshu often enters the palace, and she doesn't often come to sit in my palace. It's too early to leave the banquet today, so you can sit more Let's go." After speaking, he asked someone to watch tea.

Jia Min laughed and said: "My lady's kindness should not be resigned, but the minister's wife has to go to pay her respects to the crown prince and concubine, so she has no choice but to betray her kindness."

Originally, when a woman is ordered to enter the palace to receive a banquet, as long as the concubine who is in charge of the sixth palace arrives before the banquet, she will go to the palace of the concubine who is familiar with each family to talk.It was not out of courtesy for Jia Min to reply like this.If Little Concubine Zhong let Jia Min, mother and daughter leave, nothing would happen.

But Concubine Zhong knew that Daiyu had an extraordinary background, so she wanted to get rid of it and then she would not mention it. Daiyu also offended many people in Cheng'en Gong's mansion last time.Most of the people who spoke in the Concubine Zhong’s Palace today were the wives of Cheng’en’s family. Everyone was polite and chattered, but the central idea was only one: to keep Jia Min’s mother and daughter talking, but in fact to find them back. The venue for the Peony Banquet.Even Little Concubine Zhong herself wanted to observe her real opponent more, so she didn't object.

Reach out and don't hit the smiling person, even if you know that the other person is hiding a knife in his smile?

So Jia Min sat down with Daiyu and Su Lan.

After a while, the palace servant brought tea, Jia Min, mother and daughter took it, Jia Min looked at Daiyu hesitantly.Daiyu took a sip calmly.

Just like Daiyu said, she is confident that Concubine Zhong will not dirty her place, and if she wants to do it, she will definitely not be in Changkang Palace.

Seeing that Daiyu had drunk it, Jia Min was about to drink tea when she heard the Ninth Prince and Concubine say: "Why, Mrs. Shangshu thinks this tea tastes bad, or is there something wrong?"

Daiyu put down the teacup, her expression was indifferent, but she felt a little bit secretly happy, the information of the young prince was indeed accurate, the Ninth Prince and Concubine was so restless, it could save her a lot of trouble.

Jia Min simply put down the teacup. It's not that she didn't dare to drink tea, but she didn't want to be forced to drink tea, so Jia Min said: "I have never been in good health, and I have been taking medicine all the year round. The doctor told me not to drink tea. It has washed away the medicinal properties. I hope that the empress will not blame you."

Concubine Zhong naturally smiled and said it was all right.

The Ninth Concubine said again: "Mrs. Shangshu was born in the Duke's Mansion, and she speaks very elegantly. Why did I hear that the mansion just invited the young lady to have a husband?" The Ninth Concubine didn't feel that her words were stupid at all. .There are so many people in Changkang Palace today, many of whom were offended by that girl of the Lin family. The Ninth Prince Concubine is trying to kill people with a knife.

This topic comes back to reading.Of course, the concubines, imperial concubines, princesses, and princesses who are present today are all of a higher rank than the ladies in Cheng Engong's mansion, otherwise the Ninth Prince and Concubine would not dare to be so provocative.

Jia Min had absolute confidence in his own children, so he smiled and said, "The Grand Duke met King Wen in the [-]th year, so it's not too late for our family to ask for a husband. If we meet Liu Chan, so what if we have Marquis Wu to assist us? So, sooner or later, sir , depends on the child's talent." There was no irritation at all, her tone was calm and confident.Moreover, how many girls in the family were wiped out by my Yu'er, why should I be excited?Since you provoked me, I simply stabbed back to see how many people hurt.

Listen, how arrogant Jia Min's words are.

Sure enough, the complexions of many wives present changed. What do you mean? It is shameless for you to compare your own children to your grandpa, but it is too much to compare other children to Ah Dou.

Who suffered the most from Daiyu last time?Shi Xiangyun.Not only was she crushed directly by Daiyu, but she was also used by the Lin family to drive a wedge between her family and Changkang Palace by using the poem.Think about how Mrs. Baolinghou felt when she saw Jia Min's haughty reply. Jia Min almost spit on her face and said that the Shijia girl is a Dou.

Sure enough, Mrs. Baolinghou couldn't hold back and asked, "What book is Miss Lin reading now?"

Daiyu's expression remained unchanged, she got up and gave Mrs. Baolinghou a blessing, but turned half to the Ninth Prince and Concubine and said: "Our sisters have returned to Beijing not long ago, and haven't read a few books, but I heard what my mother said. There are many stories about the ancestors, and I learned about the demeanor of my grandfather back then."

A few words made the Ninth Prince's face turn green.

Why did the Ninth Prince turn green, because Jia Daishan was the eternal pain point of Hou Beijiang.When Tai | Grandfather passed away, Beidi took the opportunity to violate the border. The old Beijiang Duke at that time, the grandfather of the Ninth Prince and Concubine, was beaten by the Beidi army.It was still Jia Daishan who was stationed in Ping'an Prefecture, who rushed to help and repelled the Beidi army.

Jia Daishan not only became Emperor Taizong's confidant because of this, but also made an exception and attacked Rong Guogong.And because of that defeat, Duke Beijiang was demoted to Marquis of Beijiang.

Jia Min, mother and daughter, spoke with such sharpness today, and the moment they spoke, they were as sharp as a knife, and the knife pierced people's hearts.

The other wives present couldn't help sighing in their hearts, no wonder many girls couldn't resist Miss Lin when they were in Cheng'en Gong's mansion.The words are too sharp.

Daiyu's words successfully aroused the anger of the Ninth Prince and Concubine, and the Ninth Concubine said: "I asked you what book you read, but you said what to do. You really don't read, and you can't understand what you say."

Daiyu smiled lightly, and said: "Back to the princess, my daughter is also studying. The most recent one is "Zuo Zuo Zhuan". I just learned Zheng Boke and Duan Yuyan. Willing to listen to teaching."

The Ninth Concubine was born in a family of generals, but those who can be a princess, even if they are not as outstanding as the little Concubine Zhong, still have the basic qualities.Of course Zheng Boke knows the allusion of Duan Yuyan, the key is that these words poke his heart.Why was Emperor Taizong furious at the court earlier? Wasn't it because the prince seized the heir apparent?No one at the scene dared to mention that, but no one knew about it.

Sure enough, as soon as Daiyu said this, she was well-mannered like a little concubine Zhong, and her face changed abruptly.

The Ninth Prince Concubine was a little afraid of this concubine mother who seemed to know everything. Seeing the concubine mother's expression changed, she knew that she had caused trouble, so she hurriedly made up for it: "Your child was born in an official family, why dare you talk nonsense? Don't be afraid of misfortune coming out of your mouth." Speaking of this, the Ninth Prince and Concubine seemed to feel that it was not enough to relieve her anger, and added: "Too open-mouthed, be careful that you will not live long."

coming!What is exactly what you want, this is it.

Seeing that everyone present didn't see clearly, Daiyu quickly knelt down and said, "I was weak and sick when I was young, and my parents spent a lot of time in recuperating my body. After I invited famous doctors to recuperate, I went to various temples Divination to ask for peace. The Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou, the Panxiang Temple in Suzhou, the Muni Temple in Beijing, and the director of the Taiyuan Hospital all said that I am healthy and live a long life. If I die, I have no choice but to die..." After finishing speaking, Daiyu kowtowed.It's true, even though the Changkang Palace is covered with carpets, the forehead is red from the knock.

It's okay, Daiyu's words directly blocked all kinds of accidents.Whether it is medical or theological, I am destined to live a long life.If you were threatened in your Changkang Palace today, and there will be troubles in the future, you will be blackmailed at your Changkang Palace.

Many wives were frightened by Daiyu's actions.

How ruthless this is, being ruthless to oneself, and even pushing the opponent to a corner.Today is a palace banquet, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the affairs in Changkang Palace can never be hidden.Not only the East Palace will know, but even Emperor Taizong will know.This error is correct, and from then on, the Ninth Prince and Concubine will be Lin Daiyu's human amulet.

The Ninth Imperial Concubine was so frightened that she was at a loss, she...she was just quick-tempered, who knew that this dead girl would act so unexpectedly and so hard to resist?The ninth imperial concubine looked at the little concubine Zhong as if asking for help, only to see the livid face of the little concubine Zhong.

Jia Min hit the iron while the iron was hot: "Our Lin family has been a loyal minister for generations, even if Yu'er has something to displease the princess, it is because the minister did not teach her well, and the princess punishes the minister." After finishing speaking, she still looked sad.
