Yongzheng period

Because of the loss of her mother, she came to Jia's mansion again, loving her grandmother; Baoyu who made her happy;But gradually, as she grew up, there were more gossips in the servants' mouths, such as playing the autumn wind, pretending to be lofty and supercilious...

This time she didn't cry behind her back anymore, she felt vaguely that she would not have to stay in Jia's mansion soon, her father's illness would be cured, and she would have another stepmother with a good background and good character.

But in the third year of Yongzheng, when her father died of illness in Yangzhou City, she followed her cousin Lian back to organize his father's funeral with great sorrow, and finally had to go back to Jia's mansion alone. Where did she go, she didn't even ask.

Then she saw how helpless she was as an orphan wandering in the big dye vat of Jia's mansion, and her second aunt was powerless against her; Shi Xiangyun compared her with an actor, and no one could make decisions for her; When he wins over her, he thinks that he treats each other sincerely, and he is ashamed of his previous villainous heart-the final ending is that she dies of hemoptysis in despair amidst the happy events hanging all over the house, with only Tanchun, Li Wan and There is no one else among the three Zicuckoos.

Daiyu was in a trance in a dream, feeling terrified in her heart. She was no longer in Jia's house, and she looked around in a vast expanse of whiteness, unable to tell the direction or find a way out.

"The emperor—?!" She suddenly realized that she was not the "orphan girl" Lin Daiyu, but Concubine Hui of the Qing Dynasty. A bright yellow figure flashed in front of her eyes, and she hurriedly stretched out her hand to catch up.

"Your Majesty! Wait for my concubine!" Daiyu was so anxious that tears filled her eyes, but the figure was getting faster and faster.

Suddenly, the figure turned around, but it was a woman in a palace dress that she had never seen before. She was dressed in a queen's court dress, but she was more beautiful and elegant than Ulanara Yixiusheng's.

The woman pulled out a mocking smile, her face was ferocious, and she said, "Bitch! It's you who took away my position in the emperor's heart! I want your life!" After saying that, she rushed like Daiyu, Hands grabbed her neck.

Daiyu was shocked and struggled desperately, suddenly the woman yelled, retracted her hand as if scalded by hot oil, and ran away in embarrassment.

Daiyu fell backwards without strength, but felt that she fell into a generous embrace, carrying the fragrance of purple bamboo in the sachet she embroidered stitch by stitch.

"Don't worry, I'm here." The man said, and then he bent down to smooth her brows that were frowned by the nightmare, "Yu'er, it's all my fault, I'm here, only with you. "

Hearing this, Daiyu tried hard to open her eyes and look at the man's face, she had a lot to say, but in the end she just barely moved her fingers, and then fell into a deep sleep.

Qianqing Palace

Yongzheng was afraid that Daiyu would not sleep well if he had another nightmare, and he did not close his eyes all night.Until the morning, Fang leaned against Daiyu's bed and squinted for an hour. After waking up, he only washed up in a hurry and went to the morning court.

After the next court, Yongzheng was thinking about Daiyu's situation, so he went straight to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, but was surprised to see the noble people waiting outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

"My concubine respectfully welcomes the emperor's peace." Xue Baochai leaned forward with difficulty while supporting his stomach.

"Exemption." Yongzheng hurriedly called her up, frowned and said, "You are already a month old, why are you here to do the Qing Palace if you are not resting in the Queen's Palace?"

"My concubine heard that Concubine Hui had an accident yesterday, and she was really worried." Baochai took the stack of rice papers from Yinger and said meekly, "So my concubine copied the Buddhist scriptures twenty times in her spare time. But out of my concubine's kindness, I only hope that Concubine Hui can be well soon."

"You have a heart." Yongzheng's tone was flat, and Su Peisheng hurriedly stepped forward to hold the scriptures handwritten by Gonggui, "It's just that you are pregnant and can't bear it. Concubine Hui is fine, and you don't have to do these anymore gone."

Baochai was keenly aware of the impatience in Yongzheng's tone, she couldn't help clasping the palm of her right finger tightly, and her fingertips sank deep into it, exuding sharp pain.But she still had a gentle and decent smile on her face, and she said politely, "Concubine Hui is fine, so the servant will feel at ease."

She paused when she said this, showing a satisfied expression, and said softly, "Concubine, I just want to send a wish and express my blessing. Now that the wish has been sent, the concubine will leave first gone."

Her expression was sincere and vivid, as if she was really a well-meaning concubine who came to visit after hearing about the accident of her childhood sister.

Yongzheng saw that she didn't seem to be faking the whole process, and said delicately, "I understand what you mean - you go down first, I will go and see Yu'er."

When Baochai heard Yongzheng calling Daiyu's boudoir name, she couldn't help but change her expression. She lowered her eyes and said respectfully, "I send my concubine to the emperor respectfully."

After entering the Hall of Mental Cultivation, seeing that the figure on the bed hadn't yet woken up, Yongzheng hurriedly lightened his steps, and walked forward cautiously to check on Daiyu's condition.

"Has the imperial physician checked the pulse?" Yongzheng asked in a low voice.

The little eunuch who had been standing by the side hastily replied, "I have had a doctor's consultation, and said that Master Hui should wake up by noon at the latest, and ordered the imperial dining room to prepare medicinal soup and supplements."

Yongzheng stopped making a sound when he heard the words. He carefully sat on the edge of the bed, pushed up the corner of the quilt for her, and lovingly wrapped a strand of hair from her forehead behind her ear, watching Daiyu's sleep. Yan Gao said in a low voice, "You always teased me that you were made of paper and let the imperial physician take care of you, but after all, I couldn't protect you properly and made you suffer."

Su Peisheng came forward with two young eunuchs holding memorials, and reminded softly, "Your Majesty, it's time to approve the papers."

"Let it go," Yongzheng didn't raise his head, "I'll just criticize from the sidelines."

"Yes."

Yanxi Palace

Baochai took Ying'er away from Qianqing Palace but did not return to Cining Palace, but went to Yanxi Palace to find her concubine.In the past two days, the Empress Dowager was busy grieving for the reprimand of the Empress and Tong's family, so she was a lot more relaxed in guarding her, so she was able to get away to plan one or two things.

"Sister Gong is here?" The concubine Xiang was teaching Wen Yi word by word. Seeing that it was the two of them who came to the door, she hurriedly greeted her with a smile. , commanded, "Hurry up and serve tea."

Recently, the empress finally had bad luck as expected, and the concubine Xiang had a smile on her face.

"Excuse me, Madam," Baochai sat down and said with a smile, "it's really the concubine's fault."

"Sister said that's her birthright," Xiang Concubine couldn't figure out why Mr. Gong came to the door suddenly, and asked tentatively, "Sister came today to—?"

"Of course I came to congratulate the empress in advance." Xue Baochai said meaningfully, "Didn't the empress have already received the gift from the concubine about the former empress? Now is a good time to attack the empress, but why did the empress delay?" action?"

"This..." Concubine Xiang hesitated and said anxiously, "But the Empress Dowager still protects the Empress, if I really go to expose it, I'm afraid that the Empress Dowager—"

"In the harem, the most important thing is always the emperor's attitude." Xue Baochai said honestly and kindly, "The emperor chose the title 'Xiang' for the empress, which means 'help'. The empress died because she exposed Nian's crimes." If you are able to expose the empress's crimes now—your empress will not disappoint the emperor's will."

The concubine Xiang was quite moved when she heard the words, and Baochai continued, "Besides, the relationship between the queen mother and the emperor is very tense these days, and the emperor's favorite Concubine Hui has become like this because of the queen—the emperor may not follow the queen mother. mind."

Looking at the already shaken appearance of the concubine Xiang, Baochai finally said, "No matter how bad it is, the empress can push everything to Nian Shilan. If the queen mother gets angry, and the emperor now has a new favorite concubine Hui, she may not be able to do it again." Protect her just like that time - you know, in this palace, only the newcomers laugh and the old ones cry."

Concubine Xiang was thoughtful when she heard the words, she came back to her senses and smiled, "My sister is pregnant with Liujia and has to be taken care of by the Queen Mother. It's really inconvenient, so I won't keep my sister any longer."

Baochai lowered her eyes and raised the corners of her mouth, "Your Majesty is not thinking of herself, she is also thinking of her children. I think it is just around the corner that your concubine will become a concubine, and the concubines will be honored by your mother soon."

On the way back to the Compassionate Ning Palace, Ying'er asked anxiously, "My lord, if we are found by then—"

"What are you panicking about?" Baochai said casually, "I have always raised my baby in the Empress Dowager's palace, what have I done? I just said something, but Nian Shi and Concubine Xiang are the only ones I can do."

Ying'er hesitated to speak when she heard the words, but Baochai stopped looking at her, just looked in the direction of the Changchun Palace, and murmured, "Tell me, how can some people easily have things that other people might not be able to get in their lifetime? ?”

"My lord...?" Ying'er looked at her suspiciously, "What did you just say?"

"Nothing." Baochai closed her eyes and said in a low voice, "Go back."

Yangxindian

It was noon when Daiyu suddenly woke up from her sleep.Her thoughts gradually came back, and what she saw was a large piece of bright yellow, which seemed to be the furnishings of the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

I'm in the Hall of Mental Cultivation...?Why aren't you in Changchun Palace?Daiyu blinked in confusion, but there was no one around, she subconsciously tried to prop herself up and sit up.

The sound of her moving startled Yongzheng who was in the cubicle who was grading papers, and hurriedly put away his pen and strode in.

"Yu'er!" Seeing that she was still a little weak, Yongzheng stepped forward to support her shoulders, and said lightly, "You are finally awake."

"Your Majesty..." Daiyu was taken aback by Yongzheng's intimacy, then turned her face away, and said in a cold tone, "Isn't the Emperor acting arrogantly? Can't you even listen to the concubine's explanation? There is something wrong with the concubine, how dare you occupy the emperor's heart-nourishing hall again, the emperor thinks the concubine is an eyesore, hurry up
