Little Lady of the Red Chamber

The person who came was not very old, about 30 years old, dressed in bright red clothes of the princess of the county, and accompanied by two maidservants, but I don't know which family they belonged to.

Concubine Chen smiled calmly, "Since you feel that way in your heart, why are you still not convinced?" She then pointed to that person and said to Daiyu, "This is from your Uncle Wang's house in Jian'an, so don't call your aunt."

King Jian'an is the emperor's cousin, and the same generation as King Yong'an, but his blood relationship is not as close as that of King Yong'an.King Jian'an is now in charge of the affairs of the clan, and has a high prestige in the clan.Princess Jian'an is friendly with Princess Chen, and Daiyu also heard Princess Chen mention it, she got up and greeted with a smile, Princess Jian'an took Daiyu's hand and said with a smile, "It's a lovely person, your mother and concubine are not good, in the future I will only Follow Auntie." The words were directed at Daiyu, but the person was looking at Concubine Chen.

"Yuanhao is not young. Since you are rare, just find one. Yu'er, come here." Princess Chen replied with a smile, beckoning Daiyu to sit back in her original seat.Princess Jian'an was not annoyed, she sat down beside Princess Chen and said: "You still have this temper, why are you here today?" While speaking, she looked at Princess Chen's head.

"You are too careless."

"It's not that she is careless, you should ask yourself." At this moment, everyone in the hall was sitting together with familiarity, but they spoke in a low voice, and suddenly inserted these words, making them jump.Daiyu turned around and saw a woman standing beside her at some point, graceful and elegant, with extraordinary momentum.

Slightly raising her eyebrows at Daiyu, with eyes full of apprehension, Daiyu hurriedly saluted, turned slightly sideways, and secretly guessed which family it belonged to.

When Princess Chen and Princess Jian'an heard the sound, they immediately stood up to greet each other, and Daiyu knew that the person in front of her was the elder sister of the first mother of the Emperor, Princess Yongxiu.Concubine Chen once told her about people in the royal family, so Daiyu had naturally heard the name of this princess before, but it was the first time she had seen her, so she was inevitably a little curious.

"Is that Daiyu? Come here!" Princess Yongxiu said a few words to Princess Chen, then beckoned to Daiyu for her to come forward, took her hand and looked carefully, "It's a little small, but it's okay. Head back Seeing that I haven’t prepared anything good, let’s play with it!” But she took off a green bracelet and put it on Daiyu’s hand.It's a pity that Daiyu is thin and weak, so she can't wear it. Princess Yongxiu looked at it and smiled, "I didn't think carefully."

Daiyu thought for a while, then wrapped the handkerchief in her hand around the bracelet, and tied it in a pattern, which is quite distinctive.Everyone is surprised when they see it.Princess Yongxiu nodded and smiled at Chen Wangfei: "It's not bad, you have to protect it later."

Concubine Chen glanced left and right indiscriminately when she heard the words, and said in a low voice, "But pointing at you as an aunt, I can't do it anymore."

"You are a mother-in-law, and you are still like this, so you are not afraid of making people laugh." Princess Yongxiu had no choice but to chuckle at this sister-in-law, but did not push it away.

Daiyu just stood aside docilely, listening to the elders talking, she also had some guesses in her heart.But after a while, someone from the palace came in and delivered an oral order, and everyone got up and went to the main hall.

But it was Princess Yongxiu and Concubine Chen who walked ahead, and everyone followed behind until they entered the main hall.The Empress Dowager smiled when she saw her beloved daughter.Please be safe.The Empress Dowager said a few words to those imperial concubines, and then sent them out.Only Princess Yongxiu remained, and spoke to several close concubines.

As the daughter-in-law, Princess Chen was naturally there too, but the Empress Dowager didn't pay much attention.Daiyu followed Princess Chen, following the etiquette.It is not obvious that there are many people in the original, there are only a few concubines in the palace at the moment and Princess Yongxiu, so Daiyu naturally stands out.

The Empress Dowager said a few words to her daughter, turned around and saw Daiyu, and said: "This is from Rui'er's family. I haven't seen her on weekdays, but I don't recognize Ai's family. Look at Yongxiu, this is your nephew." daughter in law."

This was not quite right, and the hall suddenly fell silent.Princess Yongxiu smiled and said: "I still use my mother to say that my daughter has seen you a long time ago. Yu'er, come here!"

Daiyu looked at Concubine Chen with some uneasiness in her heart, she nodded, and took a few steps forward to salute, "Granddaughter-in-law pays respects to the emperor's grandmother, niece and daughter-in-law pays respects to the emperor's aunt."

The Empress Dowager replied with a flattering expression, the girl she had always loved was not Daiyu, but Daiyu had been married to the royal family for half a year, and she would not flatter her on weekdays, which was even more distasteful to her. .

Knowing mother is more like daughter, Princess Yongxiu knew early on that Daiyu is unlikely to be loved by the queen mother, but she looked at it very well, took Daiyu's hand and smiled at the queen mother: "I just said that I am still the queen mother." Yu'er's mother is a girl from the Jia family, and the queen mother also met her back then, but it is fate after so many years. What does the queen mother think?" These words are not aimless, when Rong Guogong was still there, Jia Min was in Beijing. Among the ladies, they are considered top-notch, and the Empress Dowager is among the best in choosing concubine Jia Min for her youngest son.It's a pity that the Empress Dowager didn't wait for the selection. Prince Yong'an begged the emperor for an order. He only said that he made the choice. How could the Empress Dowager agree? But after all, he didn't twist the youngest son, but he hasn't given Chen Wangfei a good face for so many years. .

The Empress Dowager heard her daughter say this, and then remembered that this marriage was the words of Master Liao Yuan, and she really spent a lifetime for her beloved grandson.Taking a closer look at Daiyu, I saw that although she was still a little weak, she didn't have any symptoms of inadequacy.On the contrary, half of the original dislike has been eliminated: "Since you are married into the royal family, you should know your identity, and learn the rules from Yuehua, so as not to lose the dignity of the royal family." These words were a bit heavy, Daiyu bowed her head The eyelids covered the thoughts in the eyes, and the hands in the sleeves were clenched tightly.After all, I remember that this is in the palace.

But I heard a clear voice interfacing: "The empress is still considerate. Knowing that the daughter-in-law has not learned the rules well, she specially called Aunt Chen to help, otherwise the daughter-in-law really can't do anything. Fortunately, Yu'er has always been well-behaved, but she is more obedient My daughter-in-law is much better." Princess Chen stood up with a smile on her face and thanked the Empress Dowager.

Princess Yongxiu smiled and said: "This is being a mother-in-law and she has such a temper. I am not afraid of Yu'er's jokes. Look at the mother-in-law, there is such a mother-in-law. Fortunately, it is Yu'er. If someone else points out that Ruizhi will have a headache. The queen mother can take care of it."

"Not to mention being a mother-in-law, being a grandmother is also normal. If the Ai family can take care of it, why wait until now. Forget it, your brother will take care of it, and the Ai family will take care of what to do." Chen Wangfei walked out, the empress dowager Naturally, she didn't stare at Daiyu any more, but said coldly.

Instead, he ordered the servant beside him: "Take the concubine Shizi to sit in the side hall!"

After Daiyu saluted, she and her servants left the main hall and went to the side hall.

"Prince Concubine, don't worry." Aunt Chen comforted Daiyu in a low voice when she saw that there was no one around.

Daiyu shook her head slightly and said softly: "I'm fine, but I haven't done anything. If it's because of this marriage, it's not my intention. Why is the Empress Dowager?" In the palace!" Aunt Chen hastily signaled her to silence.

Seeing this, Daiyu bit her lips and frowned slightly, but she didn't say anything, she just turned her eyes away and looked out the window.The outside is still full of flowers and flowers. She is not angry because the Empress Dowager is not happy. What is there to be angry about? There are many people who don't like her. If it is because of this, she will not want to live.It's just that there is inexplicable grievance in the bottom of my heart. The Empress Dowager said things according to the rules. If the royal family really followed the rules, how would she marry into the Yong'an Palace.

Daiyu didn't know what happened in the main hall later, she stayed in the side hall for a while, and Princess Jian'an came over.When I saw her, I just sighed, "Okay, I don't know how to say it. Don't talk about those things, there is a banquet in the Imperial Garden, and the little girls are playing there, so you go too!"

"Auntie, what about concubine mother?" Daiyu's eyes were full of worry.

Seeing her smiling like this, Princess Jian'an said, "Silly boy, where are you thinking? Your concubine mother is fine, but she was left to talk. If the Empress Dowager really wanted to get angry with her concubine, she would never be able to get angry enough." .It’s been so many years, which time it’s not like this.”

Concubine Yong'an seldom enters the palace to pay her respects, and outsiders dare not say much about the internal and external reasons, but the clan knows everything about it.This pair of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, who are countless and noble in the world, are born to be enemies.Ever since Princess Yong'an married into the royal family, she has never received good words from the Empress Dowager, but she is able to do well, which is amazing.

Daiyu still didn't understand, Princess Jian'an didn't want to say more, she was entrusted by Princess Chen to lead Daiyu to the Imperial Garden.

Sure enough, the imperial garden was very lively, the princess, the princess, the princess, and the girls from the Duke's mansion were all there.There are now five princesses in the palace, three princesses of the emperor, and the remaining two are from today, they are still young, only three years old, but they are not here today.The three princesses are about the same age, but a difference of one or two years. Among them, the five princesses are the most valuable. They are born by the empress dowager. They are the first princesses. They are fourteen years old.I don't know which son can marry the daughter of the heavenly family.

Princess Jian'an acted prudently, so naturally she would not let Daiyu go just like that, but she found a familiar princess and entrusted Daiyu to her.

From Daiyu's point of view, it is reasonable for a married person to be with the concubine and concubine of the palace, but she is young, if she really gets there, she doesn't know how to get along with her.So Princess Chen asked Princess Jian'an to send her to the Royal Garden to be with the girls.

But the princess had also heard about Daiyu, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes, she smiled at Princess Jian'an and said, "Aunt Wang just entrusted her to us, so she must not let anyone bully my sister-in-law."

Princess Changle is the eldest daughter of Prince Duan, and she has always been a proper person. Since she has accepted Princess Jian'an, she is not inconsiderate, so she leads Daiyu to greet the princesses who are familiar with her.The banquets of the clan are naturally the daughters of the apprentices, and most of them would call Daiyu a sister-in-law, but Daiyu is young, and the girls who go to the palace for banquets are rarely young, so Daiyu is considered young.

Most of them have heard about Yong'an Palace, although they can't say it clearly, but most of them have a curious look in their eyes.Although there is no serious problem, Daiyu is naturally uncomfortable looking at it, so she said a few words.He retreated to the side without any trace, leisurely looking at the flowers in the imperial garden.

Compared to talking to these girls of different styles, Daiyu enjoyed the beauty of the imperial garden more.All kinds of precious flowers are delightful to look at.

Seeing this, Aunt Chen was always by Daiyu's side and said with a smile: "This place is all princesses of the clan, and the concubine should make more friends."

"People say that it's the same as before, and everyone pays attention to one fate, and so does friends." Daiyu leaned on the railing and replied with a smile.It's not that these princesses are bad, Princess Changle is kind, but only kind.

Daiyu really wanted to steal Fusheng's leisure for half a day, and only waited for the banquet ahead before looking for her mother and concubine.But she didn't want anyone to look down on her freedom.

She wanted to avoid them, but she was not too far away from the crowd, but there was no one else around except her and Aunt Chen Zijuan.When the palace maid came over, Daiyu hadn't felt it yet, it was Aunt Chen who woke up.

The court lady saluted only because the virtuous concubine invited her, but it was sent by Jia Yuanchun.

Although Jia Lin's family didn't explicitly break off the in-law relationship, they really separated. After that time, the two families rarely moved around, but Jia's family wanted to repair it, and even made an idea from Daiyu.

Although Daiyu is soft-hearted, she also understands that this matter affects the face of the Lin family. How can she make things difficult for her father? Besides, if she really doesn't care about what the second aunt does, it will be looked down upon by others. People, she only sent Zicuckoo back to visit Jia Mu, but she didn't mention anything else.

Daiyu didn't want Concubine Xiande to send someone to invite her back, but after thinking for a while, she refused: "Lao Taifei is worried, but the rules in the palace are strict, and the banquet is coming soon, so please forgive me for not going to pay her respects .”

"Your Majesty summons, you still don't go with me." The court lady was dissatisfied when she heard the words, she even stretched out her hand to pull Daiyu.

Aunt Chen saw that her expression changed and she stood in front of Daiyu, she immediately slapped her and said sharply: "Why are there no rules in the palace, Shen Xingsi is not in charge now." She is a third-rank female official, She naturally doesn't pay attention to a court lady who has no rank.Besides, Daiyu is a county concubine whose rank is higher than that of a prince's concubine, not to mention just a court lady, even a virtuous concubine is not qualified to act like this.

Daiyu frowned slightly, glanced coldly at the maid on the ground and said in a low voice: "Miss, calm down." She turned her head and said to the maid, "Please go back and report to the empress dowager Ming, the palace rules are strict, and the empress dowager's position today is special. It's not easy, don't let others talk about it."

The palace maid received Aunt Chen's slap, she only looked at them bitterly, turned around and ran away.Daiyu lowered her eyes slightly as she watched the direction she was leaving, Aunt Chen said slowly: "Although the Grand Concubine Jia is the cousin of the First Concubine, it is really difficult for her to do so."

"Auntie said it was really sent by Concubine Xiande?" Daiyu asked.

Aunt Chen was taken aback when she heard the words, because Daiyu was not a member of the palace, but she never thought of this level, but after all, she has been in the palace for a long time, and it only took a while to turn around, the time for the virtuous concubine to be a concubine is extremely short , and she was only a female official, how dare the people around her have such arrogance.Thinking of this, his face changed drastically, "Shi Zifei!"

Daiyu shook her head slightly and said softly: "I'll talk about it later, I'm just guessing. Although I have never met this cousin, my grandmother once said that she is the one who cares most about it." The concubine will not know, since she has the intention to fix it.And how could they send such incompetent people over.

"You are so brave to talk about concubines in the palace!" Suddenly a voice came from behind, Daiyu and the others were startled, they turned around and saw two women standing behind them.There are still several court ladies accompanying the two of them.But it is a princess, a princess.It was the princess who spoke, her eyebrows and eyes slightly raised, and she had a good demeanor.On the contrary, the princess looked gentle and docile, at this moment, holding the princess's hand, she smiled apologetically at Daiyu.

Daiyu didn't know which princess was coming, so she saluted with a smile and said, "It's not good for people to speak indecently. It's not fair for a princess to come here without asking." , I'm afraid I came a long time ago and watched a scene.Just don't know the purpose.

"You are eloquent. It's my fault for saying that." A look of amusement flashed in the princess's eyes, playing with taste.

"Don't dare, it's just telling the truth." Daiyu replied.

The princess was about to speak again, but the princess next to her gently pulled her sleeves and said softly: "Xi'er, stop making trouble, it's too late."

"Forget it!" Seeing what her friend said, the princess agreed, and smiled at Daiyu: "You are an interesting person. If you have time, I will teach you again, little sister-in-law. Goodbye!" But she turned around and left.

The princess saluted Dai Yufu with a smile and said: "Princess Changtai is not malicious, don't take it to heart." After saying this, she turned and left to catch up with Princess Changtai.
