Emperor of the Red Chamber

Chapter 99 I want a golden hairpin

Yuan Qingbai looked at Tan Chun and asked with a smile: "If I remember correctly, this is probably the third sister?"

When Tanchun saw Yuan Qingbai suddenly looking at him and asking himself, he lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, with a blush spreading on his face.

Jia Mu smiled and said: "Your Majesty has a good memory. She is the third girl Tanchun. I remember that the last time the prince saw her was two or three years ago. It was when you and the princess returned to Ning. At that time, the third girl was still in her infancy. Foot, which is described as still young, but now that I am two or three years older, the prince still recognizes me."

Jia Mu looked at Tan Chun and said, "Three girls, why don't you bow to the prince quickly?"

Tan Chun hurriedly bowed to Yuan Qingbai and said, "Greetings to the prince."

Yuan Qingbai stared at Tan Chun and asked with a smile: "Why did you laugh out loud suddenly?"

Although Tanchun was a little embarrassed and nervous, he still mustered up the courage. He raised his head and looked at Yuan Qingbai and said respectfully: "It's just because when Sister Lin came to our house two months ago, Brother Bao also said that he looked kind in front of her when he first met her." , as if I’ve seen it before.”

Yuan Qingbai smiled and said: "Really? This is a coincidence."

Yuan Qingbai looked at Lin Daiyu again. Lin Daiyu couldn't help but stare at him. Seeing that he was staring at her again, she lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes in shame. She was a little annoyed in her heart: "Huh, why is this prince staring at you again?" Just look at me, don’t think that just because you are the crown prince, you can be rude to me!"

Yuan Qingbai said: "I see that this sister seems to be a little timid. Can she take medicine regularly?"

When Lin Daiyu heard this, she became even more angry and felt that the prince was even more rude.

Mother Jia didn't think so. Instead, she felt that it was her granddaughter's honor for the prince to care about her granddaughter's health.

Seeing Lin Daiyu lowering her head and saying nothing, Jia Mu hurriedly said: "She has been suffering from deficiencies since she was born. She does take medicine regularly."

Yuan Qingbai said: "Why not give it a good treatment?"

Lin Daiyu's head lowered, and Jia Mu said hurriedly: "I asked some famous doctors to make prescriptions and medicines, but they didn't work."

Yuan Qingbai said: "I am familiar with two imperial physicians with great medical skills in the Imperial Hospital, one is Imperial Physician Lu and the other is Imperial Physician Wang. If anyone gets sick here, they always seek treatment from these two imperial physicians, and it never fails to work. , it was these two imperial doctors who found out the princess’s happy pulse.”

"If the old lady agrees, I will ask these two imperial doctors to treat Sister Lin carefully. If there is any effect, it will be great. Even if it is not effective, it will not waste much time."

Mother Jia was overjoyed. Although she knew that Lin Daiyu was born with a weak body and bone disease that was difficult to treat, since the prince Yuan Qingbai praised Dr. Lu and Dr. Wang so much, these two doctors must be powerful. As Yuan Qingbai said, they can It’s great if it works, but it’s okay if it doesn’t.

"Since the prince has such intention, it would be disrespectful for me to refuse, so I would like to thank the prince for his kindness." Jia Mu said respectfully and glanced at Lin Daiyu, "Girl Lin, why don't you thank me quickly?"

Lin Daiyu said another blessing to Yuan Qingbai: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

This thank you was somewhat sincere. Although she was a little angry with Yuan Qingbai just now and felt a little rude, she also knew that the prince took the initiative to arrange for two imperial doctors to treat her as a kindness to her.

Moreover, even though she had only been in Rongguo Mansion for two months, she already felt a little dependent on others and longed for warmth. The current kindness and kindness shown to her by the Crown Prince made her feel warm in her heart.

It was also because this prince was not only extremely noble, but also a man of extraordinary prowess and intelligence. Otherwise, Sister Lin, who was somewhat aloof and aloof at a young age, would probably think that he was meddling in other people's affairs.

Yuan Qingbai smiled at Jia Mu and said, "Old lady, please introduce it to me."

Jia Mu understood and pointed to Yingchun, Tanchun and Xichun who were standing together: "These three girls, the prince and his concubine Guining have met in the past two or three years, are the princess's second sister Yingchun and third sister Tanchun. , the fourth sister Xichun, just now the prince has also recognized the third girl."

Yingchun, Tanchun, and Xichun looked at each other and squatted together. Yingchun and Xichun respectfully said: "Greetings to the prince."

Yuan Qingbai nodded and said with a smile: "We haven't seen each other for only two or three years. All three sisters have grown up a lot. It's just that the fourth sister is not tall enough and can be described as still small."

Yingchun was timid and shy, Tanchun smiled brightly, and Xichun secretly glanced at Yuan Qingbai.

The mistress had already introduced them, and then came the servants. Mother Jia did not introduce them herself, but said to her maid Yuanyang: "Yuanyang, you girls should introduce themselves to the prince and bow."

Yuanyang is a smart man. After hearing this, he hurriedly said respectfully to Yuan Qingbai: "This slave is the old lady's girl Yuanyang. Please give my regards to the prince."

As he spoke, he squatted down.

Then, Jin Chuan, Su Yun, Yan'er, Zi Juan, Siqi, Dai Shu, Ru Hua and others introduced themselves to Yuan Qingbai one after another and saluted him.

Although these are just maids, many of them are golden hairpins in the original work and in the supplement, including Yuanyang, Zicuckoo, Jin Chai, and Siqi. Each has its own exciting role in the original work.

After everyone was introduced, Yuan Qingbai smiled at Jia's mother and said, "I just told you when I came in that I was on duty at the guard's office today and came here specially to visit the old lady and my mother-in-law."

"I've looked at it now, so I can't stay any longer. Firstly, I want to continue to be on duty. Secondly, by staying here, I will make things difficult for you and restrict your family happiness."

Mother Jia hurriedly smiled and said: "Your Majesty is already a very noble man, but he still treats us with such courtesy, which makes us feel embarrassed."

Yuan Qingbai stood up, followed by Yuan Chun, Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang.

Yuan Qingbai smiled at Yuan Chun and said, "The princess entertains the old lady, mother-in-law, sisters-in-law, and sisters well today, and don't forget to reward them."

Yuanchun was moved in his heart and smiled: "I can save it. Third Master, please go quickly."

Only then did Yuan Qingbai leave amid the greetings of the female family members.

……

……

Jia Mu and other female relatives of Rongguo Mansion went into the palace to see Yuanchun, so naturally it was not convenient to stay for a long time. They entered the palace in the morning and returned to Rongguo Mansion after the banquet before noon.

At noon, Yuan Qingbai returned to Yuqing Palace, took Yuan Chun into the study, and asked him pleasantly about Yuan Chun's reception of the female family members of Rongguo Mansion today.

Yuan Qingbai then said: "When you came here, you only brought Baoqin, a confidant from Rong Mansion."

"Although it's not bad to hold Qin, she is the only one after all."

"Although we have quite a few maids here, we don't have anyone close to you."

"Now that you are pregnant, I am thinking that you should have a confidant girl."

"I saw quite a few girls in your house today, and I remember you told me that the old lady in your house is used to taking care of the girls."

"You can send Lu Qian to go to Rong Mansion again and ask the old lady for a girl to come in, so that you can have a trusted girl to serve you."

"You must be kind-hearted and dedicated to your duties, and you must be young. If you are young, I can serve you for a few more years."

Yuan Chun was moved in his heart, but said: "This will trouble the third master again, but let's give it up. I only have one Baoqin to do it."

Yuan Qingbai said: "This is not a big trouble. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about the child in your belly. Having another trusted girl is also good for the child." Yuan Chun was even more moved.

Yes, having one more trusted girl is not only beneficial to her, but can also protect the child in her belly.

Youshi, Wang Xifeng, and Lingxue had all given birth to children successfully before, and the death of Wang Xifeng's son was not caused by someone's murder.

But Yuanchun had already heard about some cruel things about the harem battles, and it was just over a month ago on New Year's Day that such a big event as the Supreme Harmony Hall's joint remonstrance took place.

If the child in her belly is a boy, he will be Yuan Qingbai's legitimate son and the grandson of Emperor Chengtai.

It should be well protected.

Thinking of this, Yuanchun stopped refusing: "Since Third Master said so, I won't refuse. Thank you, Third Master."

Yuan Qingbai warned: "Remember to be a girl who is kind-hearted, conscientious of her duties, and young."

Yuanchun said "Yeah": "I don't have to worry about it."

When Yuan Chun got up and left the study, Yuan Qingbai smiled thoughtfully and secretly sighed in his heart: "I hope the maid Yuan Chun is coming to this time is Xi Ren."

He suddenly asked Yuanchun to ask Jia Mu for a maid. There were actually two reasons.

One reason is to care about Yuanchun, which is what he said to Yuanchun.

Another reason is that he wants Yuanchun to attack.

Xiren is the second-ranked Jin Chai in the original and supplementary books, second only to Qingwen.

She was sold into the Rongguo Mansion as a slave by her parents because her family was too poor. She became Jia Mu's maid Zhenzhu. She served Shi Xiangyun, and was later given to Jia Baoyu by Jia Mu and became Jia Baoyu's chief maid. Because of her Jia Baoyu, whose real name was Hua, thought of the poem "The smell of flowers makes people aware of the warmth of the day", so he returned to Jia's mother in the Ming Dynasty and changed her name to Xiren.

She also had a secret love affair with Jia Baoyu early on, but she didn't end up with Jia Baoyu. The ending was probably that the Jia family fell and she married the actor Jiang Yuhan.

In vain, I am gentle and gentle, and the empty clouds are like osmanthus and orchid.

It is enviable that actors and actresses are blessed, but who knows that the young master is not destined to do so.

Yuan Qingbai had a good impression of Xiren and thought that this maid was beautiful and smart and capable. Xiren's importance to Jia Baoyu was like a mandarin duck to Jia's mother and Ping'er to Wang Xifeng.

Once Yuanchun has Xi Ren, Xi Ren will be a big help to her.

So this time, Yuan Qingbai wanted to get the attacker as soon as possible.

But he couldn't say it directly. Could it be that he directly said to Yuan Chun, "There is a girl named Xiren in Rongguo Mansion. She is the eldest girl of your brother Jia Baoyu. You want her here"?
He has never seen the attacker.

Since Xiren was still young, the original work also wrote, "Jia Mu doted on Baoyu and was afraid that Baoyu's maid would do her best to be a loyal person. She always liked Xixi's pure heart and neglected her duties, so she married Baoyu."

So he asked Yuanchun to find Jia Mu to find a young maid who was kind-hearted, dedicated to her duties.

In this way, there is a high possibility that Jia Mu will send the attacker here.

If the one sent this time was not an attacker, Yuan Qingbai would think of other ways to attack him in the future.

I don’t know why, but Jia Baoyu’s sisters and Yuan Qingbai all want to “rob” them.

……

……

On this afternoon, Yuan Qingbai's eunuch Lu Qian came to Rongguo Mansion again. He said that Yuan Chun was looking for a maid to serve in the palace because of his pregnancy needs...

After Jia Mu learned about it, she immediately discussed it with Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang.

Jia Mu said: "It will naturally be beneficial to the princess to send another girl to the palace. In this way, the princess will have a trusted girl beside her. But which girl should we send in?"

Mrs. Wang said: "Of course we have to follow the princess's wishes to handle this matter. Choose someone who is kind-hearted, dedicated to his duties and not too old."

Jia's mother said: "This is how we should follow it, but although there are many girls in our house, there are not many who should be pure-hearted, fulfill their duties and be young."

"Besides, I'm thinking that this girl must also be beautiful. In this way, if she is sent to the palace, she will have the opportunity to become the prince's wife. If she has the opportunity to become a concubine in the future, she can be the princess's support in the long run. .”

Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang both nodded when they heard this. They thought that as expected of the old lady, who was experienced in such matters, she had thought so carefully.

Jia Mu said: "If you add in the beautiful appearance, Xi Ren is the most suitable among the girls in our house. But I gave Baoyu to Xi Ren last year."

Mrs. , are you afraid that you won’t be able to heal him well before you give him away?”

Jia Mu looked at Mrs. Wang, who said, "That's right. We might as well send the attacker into the palace."

Because Jia Zhu is still alive and very mature, Mrs. Wang's love for Jia Baoyu now is not as good as at this time in the original work. In her heart, Jia Zhu is more important than Jia Baoyu.

Moreover, Mrs. Wang was a little wary of Xiren. Because Xiren had a beautiful appearance, she was a little worried that Xiren would become a coquettish person who would teach Jia Baoyu a bad lesson.

Jia's mother dotes on Jia Baoyu, but she also knows that what Mrs.

Jia Mu said to Mrs. Wang again: "Go and talk to Baoyu about this."

She didn't want to tell this matter to her precious grandson Jia Baoyu in person. As a grandmother, she gave the attacker to Jia Baoyu just last year, and now she wanted to come back. It was disrespectful to her grandmother.

Immediately, Mrs. Wang went to Jia Baoyu's room and spoke to Jia Baoyu and Xiren.

Jia Baoyu was stunned after hearing this: I...my Xiren sister is gone?

Xiren was also stunned.

After Jia Baoyu came to his senses, he hurriedly begged Mrs. Wang not to send the attacker to the palace. Mrs. Wang would not listen to him. Instead, she lectured him a few words, so that he did not dare to resist.

On that day, Lu Qian took the attacker away from Rongguo Mansion.

Xiren felt happy and sad in her heart. She was happy that she could enter the palace and serve Yuanchun and even the Crown Prince. But she was sad that she couldn't let go of Rongguo Mansion and her second master Bao.

That day, the attacker entered the palace and Yuqing Palace...
