Six palaces without concubines in the Red Chamber

0002 Meet the emperor and feel anxious

"The life of this child is hard, and after raising it, the parents are gone." The Empress Dowager took the child and hugged her in her arms, gently patted the quilt: "Zenian brought her back on the battlefield, and I don't know what to do with it." How much effort did it take to save my life and raise me so fat."

Zenian is the character of King He Rui.He was the posthumous son of the first emperor, and the empress dowager raised him with tears in her eyes.The year is approaching and he is standing, but there is not a drop of blood left in the world.Now that she brought back a child on the battlefield and pretended to be a girl, the Empress Dowager cherished her as if she were her own.

After Daiyu heard this, Fang Da breathed a sigh of relief, and her heart slowly calmed down.

Today is the [-]th birthday of the Empress Dowager, so mobilizing all the people to make such a big deal, half of it is due to the accident, and the other half is probably because of King He Rui's victory in Yongcheng.Because Lin Jue was in the border town, Dai Yuyang asked her father a lot.I know that the battle was fought hard, the people were displaced, and there were countless casualties.The baby girl in front of him must be the orphan that King He Rui saved on the battlefield.

"Poor child, I have endured these things at such a young age." The Empress Dowager wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, "God sees you, it's all right now."

Concubine Wan Guifei and Concubine Huang Shu followed the Queen Mother, both showing three points of emotion.Only the Western Empress Dowager was still sitting upright, her eyes only looking at the stage, she just thought that the Eastern Empress Dowager and the others were just a play, and no matter how noisy they were, they were allowed to sing.

For a while, a servant came back and said, "The Supreme Emperor and the Emperor have come to pay their respects to the Empress Dowager."

As soon as these words came out, everyone dressed up and sat down with their eyebrows drawn.Daiyu felt uneasy, seeing the Empress Dowager ordered the wet nurse to carry the child down, she suggested in a low voice, "Let me carry the child."

The empress dowager knew that the young girl had a thin face, not to mention the emperor's cold temper, it was inevitable that she would be afraid when she saw it.

"Let's go." Seeing her bowing her head and saying goodbye, she suddenly said: "Don't go back to the annex for now, just wait next door. After they go, I have something to ask you."

Daiyu was crying in her heart, but she couldn't show it on her face, she held her breath and came out together with the nurse.

Unexpectedly, bypassing the hanging screen, two people approached.Daiyu didn't have time to take a closer look, but when she saw the front and the back, two colors of bright yellow and sapphire blue came into her eyes, and the dragon walking on her chest was full of momentum, indescribably majestic.

Daiyu was startled suddenly, she didn't dare to face the sky directly, she knelt down around the corner and said, "Kowtow to the Supreme Emperor for peace, respectfully for the emperor's peace."

The Supreme Emperor didn't stop for a moment, he casually waved his hand to signal her to get up, and went inside.

Daiyu breathed a sigh of relief when she stood still, and her whole heart immediately hung up again.A corner of the clothes floated in front of the eyes, sapphire blue silk, embroidered with colorful cloud patterns.The four regiment dragons on the fold are looming, but they still reveal an inviolable power.

"Which family?" The voice was clear and light, without any emotion, but it was completely calm.It's just such an ordinary three words, and he said it more calmly and gracefully than others.It doesn't sound very good, but it has a disturbing power.

"Return to the emperor," she raised her breath, and replied softly: "Little daughter Lin, my father co-organized the university scholar Lin Hai."

He pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked: "Is Lin Jue your elder brother?"

"It's my brother."

She doesn't say a word, but she always answers when she asks a question.The emperor twitched the corners of his mouth, feeling bored, and said casually, "You go."

Daiyu and the nanny moved into the compartment, leaning on the throne, panting urgently according to their heart rate, as if walking through the juncture of life and death.

I heard from my brother earlier that the emperor has deep thoughts and unique skills.She met the emperor once in the past, when he was still a young boy.Unexpectedly, there was such a dark light today, but just two or three words made her heart turn a thousand times, and she had to spend 12 minutes to deal with it.Sure enough, sitting on the throne, he became the Long Live God in the Nine Heavens.Such a person should be hidden in the clouds, and if he really stands before his eyes, it is really frightening.

When the child woke up, the nurse hugged her and nursed her while coaxing her, then laughed with Daiyu and said, "Look, the county master, how powerful the little princess is."

"Princess?" She asked hesitantly, "Have you issued a decree?"

"Earlier, the Empress Dowager issued an oral order and gave her a name, and she was registered as Princess Yangyi." The nanny thought to herself, this milk baby is a blessing in disguise.Although both parents are dead, but with this kind of luck, King He Rui can recognize her as his daughter, and get the jade certificate seriously, who would dare to despise her in the future?

Since she is the girl that King He Rui is serious about raising, she can also be regarded as Lin Jue's half daughter.He is far away in Yongcheng, and having a little doll to share the family relationship is considered complete.Thinking about it this way, a piece of tenderness and soft belly was born.

Seeing her eating, the nanny held her to coax her, and couldn't help stretching out her hand: "Ask me to give her a hug too?"

She raised her head, and looked over with bright and moist eyes like water washing. It made people happy to see her.It's rare that he doesn't recognize his life at all, even though it's the first time we meet, it seems like we've met each other in the morning, stretching out his lotus arms to be hugged by Daiyu.Daiyu asked her to take a look, and her heart was so soft that it was unreasonable.

"The county lord is holding the little princess with his left arm, and his right arm is held up at the crook of his leg... That's right, the county lord hugs the little princess very well..."

Daiyu was taught by the nanny to hold the baby firmly, and she couldn't help but smile: "Although I have younger brothers and sisters in my family, this is the first time I hold a baby. It's really interesting, it's so fragrant and soft, like goat milk cake."

Going back to the Ming Dynasty, the emperor left early in the morning, and the Supreme Emperor also led the Queen Mother back to the Summer Palace.The atmosphere in the room was more dull than before. It is said that the Empress Dowager West is gone, and the Empress Dowager East should be more relaxed.But she had a cold expression on her face, and she lost even half of her joy, revealing a sense of meanness.

The Empress Dowager stretched out her hand to beckon her over, asked some casual questions, and then let her go.

"Sister Lin." Seeing her coming back, Princess Canyu rushed forward to greet her.Seeing her pale face, he poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to her: "It's hard for you."

Ever since the Supreme Emperor abolished the previous emperor and installed the current emperor, the palace has been dull and depressing day by day.No one can understand what it's like to be in front of the empress dowager and the two empress dowagers.

Although it is March, it is still cold.Daiyu drank half a cup of tea, which made her feel better.

"The old ancestor told you to go there, what do you say?"

"Zuo just asked some family complaints, nothing else."

Xue Baochai flapped her fan and smiled softly: "I heard people say that the Supreme Emperor led the Empress Dowager Xi back to the Summer Palace. Sister Lin, what did you see the Emperor and the Supreme Emperor look like?"

What does it look like?The emperor said a few words to her, but at that time she was concentrating on pretending to be a quail, and she had no intention of thinking about anything else.

She shook her head: "Long live, come here, I went to the compartment, and I haven't seen you before."

"What a pity." Baochai said, "The Murong family used to be a noble family in Jinling, and they often married the Song royal family. The Song royal family was famous for their beauty, and now, the Murong family is also outstanding. It's so easy to face Wouldn't it be a pity that you didn't see the most beautiful flower of wealth in the world once?"

"I don't understand what Sister Bao said." Daiyu turned away and ignored her, playing with the fan pendant by herself.

The owner of Princess Canyu covered her lips and smiled: "Sister Bao wants to know this, why don't you ask me? Sister Lin is the most shy, so why don't you ask her instead?"

"You." Baochai held the fan, and nodded at her from the air: "What's the matter, it's not interesting to say it outright. It's only interesting if she makes sense."

"It's not interesting to say anything, but you like to make fun of people." Daiyu said angrily, "Why don't you make fun of Yingjie?"

"She is the heart of Grand Master Sun. If she goes back and coquettishly spoils me, I will still be alive." Baochai leaned over and whispered to her: "I'll teach you, if you don't want to be made fun of, call Baoyu." Be more rigid, what's the fun in calling everyone Sister Sister?"

The sisters laughed and made a fuss, and then saw the sun slanting to the west and slowly entering the clouds.After dinner, we will go back separately.

Daiyu pulled up her cloak, and suddenly saw a servant leading the palace people over in a hurry: "Master, stay here."

She stood still and looked intently, seeing that it was Chu Gui, she asked, "What orders does the Empress Dowager have?"

Chu Gui had a smile on his face, and seeing it made people feel comfortable: "Congratulations to the county lord. The ancestor asked the county lord to stay in Shoukang Palace for two days, and it won't be too late to go home after a while."

Daiyu felt uneasy when she heard it, and hesitantly twisted the belt on the cloak into twists.

"aunt……"

"The ancestors looked up to the county magistrate. This is a good thing that others can't ask for."

That's the end of the conversation, and standing still is just coquettish.Daiyu had no choice but to order Jixue to go home first, and then follow Chugui to Shoukang Palace.

After entering the Shoukang Gate, you will face the main hall.Bypassing a twelve-panel floor-to-ceiling screen, I saw a plaque of "Ci Shou Ning Jubilee" hanging high in front of the hall, and a pair of couplets, which read: "Jade Guan responds to Yangchun, and opens to the South Pole; Xuan Palace presents a beautiful view. , Celebrating Xichi Lake." A stroke is like a tiger flying like a dragon, full of vigor like a silver hook painted on iron.

Rao Daiyu felt uneasy, when she saw that word, she couldn't help praising it from the bottom of her heart, it's really a good word.

Shoukang Palace has the rules of Shoukang Palace, no one is allowed to speak loudly after entering the palace gate.To do things and to ask questions, we should pay attention to gentleness and etiquette.The palace people have their own way of asking questions. I don't know what Chu Gui's actions are. When the aunt in front of me in green bijia saw it, she pointed to the door of Linghua in the west, which means that the Empress Dowager is in the Xinuang Pavilion .

Chu Gui nodded, and replied through the Linghua Gate: "Old Ancestor, the Lord of Fushou County is here."

When the voice fell, I only heard a light cough from the door, and I knew I could enter the door.With a smile, Chu Gui led Daiyu in.I saw that Linnan is also a large window with glass embedded in the heart of the two-step brocade grid. There is a kang along the window.

The nanny walked back and forth with Princess Yangyi in her arms, and kept coaxing her in a low voice: "Little princess, be good, sleep well when you are full."

Daiyu came forward to greet her, but before she knelt down, the Empress Dowager called out, "Look at the princess."

Daiyu didn't know what was going on, so she could only take the child in her arms in a daze.Seeing that her eyes were wet and her face was unusually red, she knew she must have just cried, so she couldn't help but speak softly: "What's wrong with the princess, why don't you sleep?"

Princess Yangyi leaned obediently in her arms, staring at her with a pair of bright eyes, she couldn't hold back her eyelids, and soon fell asleep.

She hugged the baby to see the nanny, but saw that everyone looked relieved.The nurse clasped her hands together and said repeatedly: "My God, there is someone who can subdue her."
