I'm in the Red Mansion

Lady Jia, Madam Xing, and Madam Zhao - Madam Xing is now in Ningguo Mansion, living with Jia Lian.

Mrs. Xing is nominally Jia Lian's biological mother, but in fact, the two are not related by blood.

And because Jia She died early, Mrs. Xing no longer dared to act like a demon as before.

Now Mrs. Xing has become a piece of wood, not caring about anything and only caring about her own enjoyment.

Now that there is a big happy event in Rongguo Mansion, everyone from Ningguo Mansion, including Jia Lian, has rushed over to help.

Jia Lian and Madam Xing naturally knew that the emperor did not like their branch.

The reason why he was given the title of Duke of Ningguo was actually just because the two were half brothers.

In terms of closeness to the emperor, he is far inferior to Jia Huan.

Not only has Jia Huan been close to the emperor since he was a child, but he also followed the emperor in his battles and was very close to him.

In addition, the Rongguo Mansion has a small population, so when there is a happy event in the Rongguo Mansion, they will naturally take the initiative to come and help.

Let’s talk about Lady Jia, Madam Xing, Madam Zhao and others, who hurried out to welcome the Empress Dowager, the Queen and others.

After the ceremony, the Queen Mother and others looked at the little guy, praised him, and then gave away gifts.

Then all the girls went to the Grand View Garden.

She also made it clear that when the banquet started, the food should be sent to the Grand View Garden and they would not eat here.

This is also to avoid causing trouble to the Rongguo Mansion. If they eat here, it will definitely cause chaos.

The group went to the Grand View Garden. Except for the empress dowager, everyone else had lived there for a few years.

It has been less than a year since they entered the palace, and to be honest, they still feel closer to the Grand View Garden.

Just like Lin Daiyu, she regarded Xiaoxiang Pavilion as her home.

Therefore, once entering the Grand View Garden, all the girls were extremely close to each other.

Li Wan and Youshi came to serve.

Li Wan was still being reserved, but had already been pulled over by Xue Baochai and the other girls. She was still acting the same as when she was with her sisters-in-law in the past.

Now, only Li Wan, Youshi and Xichun live in the Grand View Garden.

However, the courtyard where the women originally lived is still empty, as they have not moved in.

He also ordered people to clean the place every day, and it looked exactly the same as when they lived there before.

After hearing this, all the girls walked all the way from Yihong Courtyard and couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

When the girls saw Li Wan, they found that she had gained some weight and was more lively than before, and no longer as hopeless as before.

When she was a widow in Rongguo Mansion, she was not liked by Mrs. Wang and was persecuted by her.

Now I live alone in the Grand View Garden, with no one to supervise me, and I lead a comfortable life.

Moreover, Lang'er was sent by the emperor to study in the West, which shows that the emperor must value Lang'er in his heart.

She no longer had to worry about Lang'er's future, so she felt more at ease.

When the girls saw this, they were all very happy for Li Wan.

After the girls had been strolling around, they were all tired and it was time for dinner.

Someone from Rongguo Mansion came over to ask where the food should be sent.

The girls came to Yihongyuan and had lunch there.

After dinner, they did not return to the palace immediately, but wandered around here for the whole afternoon and only returned to the palace in the evening.

It's not easy for them to go out, and they seldom go out, so naturally they don't want to go back so soon.

After they returned, Jia Cong saw that they were all radiant.

Even the Queen Mother looked much better.

Jia Cong couldn't help but start to think about it.

It was because of my own negligence that they became imprisoned canary birds.

Although the imperial palace is beautiful, it also looks like a cage.

In fact, when they lived in the Jia Mansion, they rarely went out.

But at least it’s not like the palace where the rules are so strict.

Even though Lin Daiyu is the queen, she still has to be dignified at all times.

After all, the queen is the mother of the country and must pay attention to etiquette.

In the future, I should take them out for walks more often.

Thinking of this, Jia Cong did not waste any more time.

A few days later, after Jia Cong finished dealing with government affairs, he came to Kunning Palace.

After sending away the maids, Jia Cong couldn't help but hold Lin Daiyu's hand and said, "Sister Lin, how about I take you out and stroll around the capital?"

Lin Daiyu was startled and said quickly, "Brother Cong, this is absolutely not allowed."

"If you and I go out, I don't know how many people we will alarm. It will definitely be known to everyone."

"Even if I go out, I won't be free. How can I walk around in peace?"

Jia Cong smiled and said, "It's irrelevant. You and I can just sneak out and treat it as a private visit."

There were many stories among the people about emperors of previous dynasties going on incognito visits. After hearing these, Lin Daiyu's heart beat fast.

But he still asked cautiously, "I'm afraid someone will recognize us, right?"

Jia Cong smiled and said, "That's easy. Just don't let them recognize me."

Lin Daiyu was somewhat rebellious to begin with, and after hearing this, she no longer objected.

Jia Cong hurriedly took out the clothes he had prepared in advance, and the two of them changed clothes.

Then Jia Cong changed his and Lin Daiyu's appearance.

After this operation, it is difficult to identify them.

At this moment, the system panel suddenly appeared.

【Disguise (beginner): 1/100】

Jia Cong was actually taken aback. He had trained all the skills on his system panel to the level of perfection and full experience.

The system panel seemed to have failed and it had not appeared in many chapters.

I didn't expect it to pop up again at this time, and it also included a new skill: Disguise.

Although this skill doesn't seem to be of any use.

Next, Jia Cong took Lin Daiyu and was about to go out.

Just at this moment, Prince Jia Cang rushed in.

Before he even entered the door, he shouted, "Mother, mother, I have finished my homework. Please check if there are any mistakes."

Jia Cang rushed in and saw his father was also here. He hurriedly bowed and greeted him.

After completing the ceremony, Jia Cang blinked and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

He hurriedly asked, "Father, Mother, why did you change into such clothes? Also, why are you dressed like this? You don't look like father or mother anymore."

"You, you are not going to leave me, are you? Wuwu, no, I don't want my father and mother to leave."

Jia Cong hurried over, picked up the little guy and covered his mouth.

Then he said, "Don't make a sound. Father will take you out to play, okay?"

Jia Cang was confused at first, but soon reacted and said happily: "Okay, okay!"

Next, Jia Cong dressed up Jia Cang again.

Then he took the mother and son and quietly left the palace.

Well, although she said she left the palace quietly, she actually did not hide it from anyone.

After all, Jia Cong was the founding emperor, and he was the only one in power.

In the palace, the Queen Mother and others did not have their own confidants, and no one reported the Emperor's whereabouts from time to time.

Therefore, it was very easy for the family to leave the palace. Except for the guards and the people in Kunning Palace, no one else knew about it.

Even on the carriage that took them out, Jia Cong had some palace markings removed.

Therefore, although the carriage is still luxurious, it no longer looks so unsightly.

Soon, they arrived at the East Market.

Jia Cong had come here many times before he ascended the throne.

This time when he came to the East Market again, seeing the prosperous scene and hearing the noisy sounds, Jia Cong felt an inexplicable sense of relief. He turned around to look at Lin Daiyu, and saw that her eyes were shining.

It turned out that Lin Daiyu had never been here before.

As for the little fellow Jia Cang, his eyes were shining and he was so excited that he could do anything.

He struggled to break free from Jia Cong's arms and ran forward impatiently.

Jia Cong gave a wink and two secret guards followed.

Although Jia Cong was on a secret visit, he was also a martial arts expert, and there was probably no one in the world who could match him.

But he still brought a team of secret guards to protect him in secret.

His main purpose is to protect the safety of Lin Daiyu and her son. No matter how skilled he is in martial arts, he is bound to be negligent sometimes.

But Lin Daiyu was walking on the street and felt that everything she saw was good.

Whenever I see something new, I can't help but want to buy it.

Although the East Market is prosperous and can be considered a market for the rich, the prices there are a little higher than elsewhere, but in Jia Cong's opinion, they are still within limits.

Therefore, whatever Lin Daiyu liked, Jia Cong would naturally buy it for her without hesitation.

The little guy Jia Cang had bought a lot of snacks earlier and asked the secret guards to carry them. He was eating them with relish.

Lin Daiyu continued her stroll until the lights came on, and only then did she reluctantly return.

The little guy hasn’t had enough of shopping and is yelling and refusing to leave.

It was not until Jia Cong promised to bring him out when he was free that he agreed.

After returning, Jia Cong rested in Kunning Palace.

When Jia Cong woke up the next day, he saw that Lin Daiyu looked very good and nodded secretly.

It seems that I should take them mother and son out for walks more often in the future.

It’s cold now, so it’s hard to walk too far.

After the New Year and the beginning of spring, I can take them out for a walk.

Jia Cong remembered that there was a temporary palace in the imperial palace with hot springs.

In summer, you can also go to the mountain resort to escape the heat.

However, it is not advisable to favor one over another among the concubines in the harem.

After thinking about it, Jia Cong decided to take Xue Baochai and her daughter out for a walk.

As a result, Jia Cong asked Xue Baochai, and Xue Baochai actually said righteously that she was dissatisfied and said that the emperor should work hard to govern the country and focus his energy on government affairs.

Jia Cong felt bored and no longer wanted to take her out for a walk.

Later, he took the maids Xue Baoqin, Qin Keqing and Qingwen out for a walk.

Of course, taking them out does not mean taking them out one by one, but taking them out together.

After the girls went out, they completely let themselves go and had a great time playing outside.

If Jia Cong hadn't shouted at her, she wouldn't have wanted to go back to the palace.

From then on, Jia Cong would take them out for a walk every now and then.

Time passed quickly and the weather got colder day by day.

Before we knew it, it was already the twelfth lunar month.

As the twelfth lunar month begins, the entire imperial city becomes more festive.

On this day, the sky was clear and snowflakes were falling.

The children in the capital were all excited. They ran into the streets or jogged in the snow.

Or reach out and catch the snowflakes with your hands.

They were also thinking that it would be better if the snow fell heavier.

Only when it snows heavily can they make snowmen and have snowball fights.

The adults, especially the people outside the city, looked worried when they saw the snow.

They just hope that the snow won't fall too heavily and stop at the right time.

Although you have a three-layer quilt this year, you will have to sleep on steamed buns next year.

But if it snows too heavily, not only will travel be inconvenient, but the weather will also be even colder.

Even the houses may be crushed by the heavy rain.

They don't expect a heavy snowfall.

And people in the palace began to get excited.

Especially the concubines in the harem, they all love snow very much.

The snow just started falling this afternoon, but judging by the looks of it, I'm afraid it won't stop anytime soon.

Tomorrow, I can enjoy the snow and recite poetry.

It happened to be a day off the next day, so the Emperor could also take a day off.

Sure enough, the snow fell heavily and did not stop all night.

When I woke up the next day, the snow was still falling.

The outside was covered with snow, turning into a white world of ice and snow.

In the palace, there were eunuchs who kept sweeping the snow, but there wasn't much snow accumulated.

Queen Lin Daiyu had already arranged a place for enjoying the snow in the imperial garden.

This place to enjoy the snow is on a mountain.

Of course, this mountain is just a rockery, but it is about twenty or thirty feet high.

There is a temple on the top of the mountain, and all the sides and even the top are made of glass.

These rockery and palaces existed in the previous dynasty and were not built by the Chinese.

Glass is not that valuable nowadays.

But in the previous dynasty, kung fu was still very expensive.

Otherwise, when Jia Zhen of the East Palace entertained guests, he would not have sent his son to borrow Wang Xifeng's glass screen.

However, everything was already prepared, not only various ingredients were prepared, but also the wine was warmed up.

After everything was ready, Lin Daiyu invited the empress dowager and all the concubines to come and enjoy the snow.

Xue Baochai was the first to arrive and helped Lin Daiyu with the arrangements.

Soon, many concubines arrived one after another.

After a while, the Queen Mother and the Emperor also arrived.

At this point, everyone began to enjoy the snow.

This palace is not the tallest building in the imperial palace.

But the location of the imperial palace is higher than other places in the capital.

In addition, this rockery is about ten to twenty feet high.

Therefore, from the palace, one can almost overlook the entire city, and looking out at this time is quite interesting.

After watching it for a while, everyone had some drinks.

Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "In the imperial garden, the plum trees are in full bloom. Now there is snow and wine. How can there be no poetry?"

"Sisters, why don't we let the Queen Mother be the judge? We can write poems and let the Queen Mother judge them. Whoever fails will be punished. What do you think?"

The women all clapped and cheered.

Then he asked about details such as the title and rhyme limit.

Lin Daiyu couldn't help but say, "I was thinking, we weren't really writing poetry, we were just having fun together as sisters."

"Why bother with rhyming the title? So, I'm not going to limit the poem to snow, just the title, and I don't care about the rhyme. What do you think, sisters?"

The women all clapped and cheered.

Next, the Queen Mother ordered someone to light a stick of incense and asked the women to start writing poems.

All the women began to ponder.

Of course, in fact, they are all talented women.

This time there is no limit to the rhyme. In previous years, have they not written poems on the theme of snow? (End of this chapter)
