Red House Shoufu

Chapter 109
Since the previous empress passed away, the emperor did not appoint a new empress, but the imperial concubine Yang was in charge of the Phoenix seal and managed many matters in the harem.

The imperial concubine has a gentle and peaceful personality, never fighting or grabbing.In her early forties, she only had a married princess under her knees, and she lived a peaceful and comfortable life.

When Daiyu was led to Yikun Palace, there were already many concubines and wives in the palace.Nanny Zhang is very familiar with the harem, so she whispered in Daiyu's ear: "On the left are the imperial concubines and noble concubines of the palaces, and on the right are civil and military wives."

"Rong Jia pays homage to the imperial concubine, empress Jin'an!"

Everyone in the hall was talking and laughing happily, but they stopped when Daiyu walked into the door of the hall.

The Lin family, the owner of Rongjia County, has been famous for a long time, but it has been rare to see her.Today they have to take a good look at what kind of woman can make the emperor treat her so special.

I saw the woman in the hall wearing the crown of the county lord, with her slender waist folded and small steps, her bright wrists in the light gauze.The eyes are clear and eager, and the jasper dragon and phoenix hairpin are inserted obliquely in the bun.Delicate and tender, with a beautiful face like a flower, fingers like a sliced ​​onion root, mouth like red dandelion, a frown and a smile that touch people's hearts and souls.

See you with blessings, your voice is as crisp as a lark.The eyebrows and eyes are curved, which makes people feel good.

Not to mention the emperor's earlier instructions, Jia Min and Yang Shi had been dating before they got married, and just as Daiyu bowed down, Yang Shi smiled and asked her to get up.

"I've heard for a long time that there is a beautiful and intelligent girl in the Lin family. Today I finally have the chance to meet you. Come, come to me, let me take a good look..."

Yang's voice is soft, and her words are more like a gentle folk woman.Daiyu heard the sound and walked forward, the eyes of the people in the hall followed her figure.

Looking at the slim girl in front of her, Yang took off a pink warm jade bracelet from her wrist and put it on Daiyu's left wrist.

"My lady..."

Daiyu was about to resign, Yang touched her little hand: "Put it on, your mother and I are old acquaintances, and she often played with me when she was not married. It's a pity that times have changed... By the way , Wan'er is also here, and she will probably be in the Royal Garden, so you can follow her when you come back later."

Although the harem is relatively peaceful now, when did the storm in the palace subside?With Princess Hui'an as her companion, it seems likely that there will be no unscrupulous people to provoke Daiyu.

Daiyu thanked Mrs. Yang for the reward, and bowed again, and then, led by the female officer, she sat in the seats of several clan and county heads.

Before the palace banquet, the tedious and lengthy interview made people drowsy.Daiyu got up early, and after waiting for a long time, she felt a little sleepy.

In a daze, a clear and clear voice suddenly came from my ear: "Sister Yu..."

"Ah, Sister Wan'er, you're back!"

It turned out that Gao Yunwan, Princess Hui'an of Zhongshun Wang's family, hurried back to Yikun Palace when she learned that Daiyu had arrived.

"Isn't it boring? Oh, I come here several times a year, and I'm bored for a long time every time. Fortunately, you're here. Let's go, I'll take you to the imperial garden!"

Gao Yunwan's voice was not low, and many people in the hall heard her voice, among them was Princess Cui of Zhongshun.

She was really troubled by her lawless daughter, and said apologetically to Yang Shi: "Wan'er has been spoiled by my prince, please forgive me!"

Of course Yang would not blame a little girl for such a trivial matter, she prefers energetic children to serious ones.

She signaled that Mrs. Cui was okay, and waved to Gao Yunwan: "Wan'er, take Rong Jia to the Imperial Garden for a walk, remember to come back for dinner later."

Gao Yunwan happily said hello, and pulled Daiyu to go out.Daiyu bowed to Yang Shifu, and followed Gao Yunwan out of the hall.

……

Basically all the wives have come, and there is still a long time before the banquet, the atmosphere in Yikun Palace has changed from the solemnity during the audience to relaxed and lively.

At this moment, Yuan Chun walked up to Mrs. Yang, Fushen said: "Sister Yang, I want to go to the Imperial Garden for a walk..."

Yang understood, Yuan Chun wanted to meet her little cousin.As long as she does not violate the palace rules, she has never made things difficult for others.

"Go, just take care of Hui'an and Rongjia on behalf of the palace!"

Yuan Chun happily said: "Thank you, Sister Yang!"

……

In the imperial garden, Gao Yunwan was holding Daiyu's hand and introducing her to the surrounding scenery.

This imperial palace was built in the Yongle period of the former Ming Dynasty, and the area of ​​the imperial garden is not very large.

However, all kinds of flowers were in full bloom, and Daiyu, who had always loved flowers and trees, listened to Gao Yunwan's introduction with great interest.

"Sister Lin... Sister Lin..."

The two were having fun when there was a cry behind them.Turning around, it was Yuan Chun who came.

Daiyu has never met Yuanchun, but she can guess from her clothes and the name she calls herself that this is her first cousin, the current concubine Jia Yuanchun.

Sure enough, Gao Yunwan took the lead in saluting: "Concubine Xian, Empress Jin'an!"

"The princess is exempt from courtesy. I and Rongjia county master are direct cousins. We meet today at the palace banquet. Can I allow me to talk to my cousin?"

Yuan Chun was gentle, virtuous, and dignified. Gao Yunwan liked pretty people, so she had a good impression of this virtuous concubine.

I heard that I came to talk to my cousin, so I naturally wouldn't stand in the middle to stop her.She nodded: "Then I'll go around the front..."

After Gao Yunwan left, Yuan Chun took Daiyu's hand and sat in a gazebo.

This is considered to be a high ground in the imperial garden, sitting in it, you can see Gao Yunwan who is playing with the female officer not far away.

Yuan Chun and Dai Yu met each other's eyes, and they both smiled sweetly at the same time.

"Today is the first time I see my cousin, you are more beautiful than I imagined!" Yuan Chun looked Daiyu up and down and praised.

Daiyu was quite embarrassed by the praise, and shyly replied: "Your Majesty is too praised, and your Majesty is the most beautiful person."

The beauty of Yuanchun is fiery, like a blooming peony, full of unique charm.

When Daiyu saw Yuanchun for the first time, she couldn't help but lamented that her grandmother was right in saying that the eldest cousin Jia Yuanchun was in the palace, and it was not for nothing that she was favored by the emperor.Just this graceful and luxurious temperament can surpass others.

"My lady..."

"There are no outsiders here. You can call me Cousin, or Big Sister. That's what Baoyu and the others called me when I was at home."

Daiyu obeyed Yuan Chun's words, and called her elder sister, "Did elder sister come to see me specially?"

Yuanchun was very pleased that Daiyu was able to get close to him, and laughed happily when she heard Daiyu call her big sister.

She said to Daiyu: "Since entering the palace, I have not had many opportunities to see my relatives. If it hadn't been for His Majesty's decree that the noble relatives of the Jiaofang can enter the palace to see them every second or sixth day, and they can only be seen at the palace banquet every year." Seeing my family in a hurry..."

Daiyu could see tears in Yuanchun's eyes, she wanted to comfort her but she didn't know what to say.However, after staying in the palace for so long, Yuan Chun was able to control his emotions long ago.

She paused, then said with a smile: "Seeing my cousin today has fulfilled one of my wishes. Since you came to Beijing, I have heard your name from His Majesty a lot."

The two sisters chatted briefly for a while, and seeing that the time for the palace banquet was approaching, they turned the topic to the main topic.

"My cousin is curious about why I came to you on purpose. Firstly, I really want to meet you. After all, we are first cousins. Secondly, I have something to ask you..."

Daiyu sat up straight when she heard the words, she knew that Yuan Chun came to see her not just to meet relatives and talk about love.

I only heard Yuan Chun say: "A few days ago, when my grandmother and mother entered the palace, I told them about letting Baoyu enter the Imperial Prison. But Lian's second brother said that Baoyu has not been imprisoned so far. This matter was arranged by His Majesty. We Wouldn't it be a slap in the face for the family to procrastinate? So I want to ask my cousin to persuade my grandmother..."
