Chapter 65 The Red Mansion
Chapter 65 The Red Mansion
Before Lin Huaiyu and the others entered the palace, the empress in the palace was paying her respects to the empress.
It is a rule for the concubines in the harem to greet the empress every morning.
"Sister Defei, your complexion looks a little bad, did you not sleep well last night?"
When Jia Yuanchun heard this, he paused with the hand that had just picked up the teacup, then picked up the tea cover and gently brushed the water.She didn't rush to answer Zhou Guiren's "concern", but drank tea slowly.
Seeing Jia Yuanchun ignoring her, Zhou Guiren, who was dressed up gorgeously, hated her in his heart, and continued to speak in a strange way: "Oh, this woman will age quickly if she doesn't take good care of her. Do you think she is the nobleman of Qin?"
The elegantly dressed Qin nobleman gently shook the exquisite round fan in his hand, and said gracefully: "Sister Zhou is right, this woman grows old quickly if she doesn't take care of herself."
"Sister De Concubine, this woman tends to sleep badly when she gets old, you must take good care of yourself, otherwise the emperor won't visit you for a long time, what should you do?" Zhou Guiren has always been unconvinced by Jia Yuanchun, the concubine De She felt that she surpassed Jia Yuanchun in terms of appearance and family background. Why was Jia Yuanchun named a concubine, and she was just a noble person.In the past few years, she has been favored more than Jia Yuanchun, but she is still a nobleman, and Jia Yuanchun is still a concubine, why not.
Guiren Qin echoed Guiren Zhou's words: "Sister De Concubine, if you don't dislike it, the concubine has the Korean red ginseng that the emperor just rewarded. Will visit you."
"Oh, Mrs. Qin is still careful. The concubine also has tonics from the emperor. Sister Defei doesn't dislike it. The concubine will send someone to send you some later."
The other concubines didn't interject to speak, they quietly watched Zhou Guiren and Qin Guiren run on the concubine De.
Although the concubine de concubine is in the concubine position, she has not been favored very much in recent years.Since the beginning of summer, the emperor has never turned over the sign of Concubine De, and it has been more than three months.In addition, the concubine de concubine has not given birth to a prince or princess in recent years, and what she has done as a concubine de concubine has made many concubines unconvinced.
Facing the ridicule from Zhou Guiren and Qin Guiren, Jia Yuanchun was not angry, on the contrary she was very calm.With a click, she put down the teacup in her hand, and looked at Zhou Guiren and the others calmly and coldly: "I don't need any supplements, but I do need some flowers. Since the two younger sisters care about me so much, why don't you help me personally?" How about picking some flowers?"
Jia Yuanchun, as a concubine of virtue, is two ranks higher than Zhou Guiren and the others, so she can order them both to pick flowers.Let alone picking flowers, it is fine to punish the two of them to kneel outside.
When Zhou Guiren heard what Jia Yuanchun said, his face sank in anger, and he was just about to say something.At this time, the Empress Empress appeared.
"A concubine sees the empress."
"Get up."
Next, it was not Zhou Guiren's turn to speak, but the swords and swords between Concubine Wu and Concubine Liang.
Several empresses have princes, so naturally they won't get along harmoniously when they sit together.I didn't speak just now, mainly because the queen didn't show up.As soon as the empress appeared, the "battle" between them began.
Zhou Guiren and the other concubines didn't dare to intervene at such a time, they could only sit quietly and watch the queen empress and the others fight.
Jia Yuanchun is the only concubine who does not have a prince, and she cannot be involved in the struggle between Liang Concubine and the others.However, she wished it involved her.
Concubine Shu and the others disdain Jia Yuanchun as a concubine.They never took Jia Yuanchun seriously, which was a kind of humiliation to Jia Yuanchun.
In the past few years, Jia Yuanchun had taken many folk remedies, but he just couldn't get pregnant.Mingming's doctor said that she was in good health and had no problems, but she just couldn't conceive.
If she had a prince, who would dare to underestimate her.Jia Yuanchun urgently needs a child, but the more she thinks about it, the more she can't conceive.
Emperor Qinglong had always been lukewarm towards Jia Yuanchun, and he would only look up her brand in a month or two, but it was the first time he hadn't looked in her brand for more than three months.
Jia Yuanchun didn't know what he did wrong, so that the emperor didn't come to see her for more than three months?She drew a picture herself before, and made some food for the emperor, but the emperor still didn't come to see her.It seemed that no matter what she did, she couldn't attract the emperor's attention.
During this period of time, Jia Yuanchun's heart was in turmoil, and she didn't know what went wrong.She wanted to fight for favor, but Emperor Qinglong still ignored her, which made her very frustrated.
The "war" between the empress and Concubine Wu ended with the empress saying "I'm tired, you step down".
The concubines saluted and bid farewell.When Jia Yuanchun was about to leave, he was stopped by the empress.
"Concubine De, you stay here."
Jia Yuanchun was slightly surprised when he heard this, and at the same time wondered why the Empress called her?
"Yes, the Queen Mother."
The other concubines took a look at Jia Yuanchun, and then all retreated.
"Empress, do you have any orders?"
The empress pointed to the chair next to her, "Sit down and talk."
"Thank you, empress." Jia Yuanchun sat down very calmly on the surface, but he felt a little uneasy in his heart. He didn't understand why the empress left her alone?
"I told you to stay because I want you to meet two people."
"Meet two people?" Jia Yuanchun looked puzzled, "I don't know who the empress asked the concubine to meet?"
"You'll know right away."
At this time, Mrs. Ye took Lin Huaiyu and the others to Kunning Palace.
Along the way, Mrs. Ye repeatedly told Lin Huaiyu and the others not to break the rules.
It was not the first time for Lin Huaiyu and the others to enter the palace. Although this time they entered the palace after a few years, they have been learning the rules and etiquette from Aunt Zhao in the past few years, and they have not forgotten the rules of entering the palace.
Because it was the second time entering the palace, Lin Huaiyu and Xiao Daiyu were not as nervous as they were when they entered the palace for the first time a few years ago.Or maybe it's because the two have grown up a lot, and this time they entered the palace, their minds were very calm.
After a while, the three arrived at the gate of Kunning Palace.
"Empress, Mrs. Ye, please see me."
"Let them in."
Soon, under the leadership of the maid, Mrs. Ye walked in with Lin Huaiyu and his brother and sister.
"The minister's wife sees the empress."
"Student Lin Huaiyu sees the empress." Lin Huaiyu is now a scholar, and it is inappropriate to call herself a "grassman", but a "student".
"Minister Lin Daiyu sees the empress."
The empress said kindly: "Get up."
"Thank you, Empress."
Jia Yuanchun, who was sitting by the side, widened his eyes in shock when he heard Lin Huaiyu calling himself "Student Lin Huaiyu".At this time, she finally knew who the two people the empress asked her to meet were.
"This is Concubine De."
Concubine De?
Mrs. Ye was startled, and then saluted Jia Yuanchun, "My wife, see the concubine De."
Lin Huaiyu and Xiao Daiyu were surprised when they heard the word "Concubine De", and then followed Madam Ye to salute Jia Yuanchun.
"Get up." Jia Yuanchun stood up at this moment and bowed to the empress, "It turns out that the two people that the empress asked the concubine to meet are my cousin and my cousin." When did the cousin and the cousin come to the capital? Haven't you heard from your mother?
"I thought that you were Brother Huai's cousin, so I left you here for you to meet."
"Thank you, empress." Jia Yuanchun walked up to Lin Huaiyu and Xiao Daiyu, carefully sizing up their siblings, with surprise and astonishment on their faces, "I didn't expect my cousin and cousin to be so outstanding." She thought their family's Baoyu's appearance is the most outstanding for the child, especially Baoyu has grown up in the past two years, and his facial features have opened up a lot, and he is brighter than when he was a child, but compared with Lin Huaiyu, Baoyu is much inferior.
"I haven't seen you for a few years, these two children are really getting better and better." The empress's eyes were full of shock when she saw Lin Huaiyu, and she couldn't help marveling at Lin Huaiyu's appearance in her heart.The child is even more beautiful than he was a few years ago.
Lin Huaiyu, whose facial features gradually opened up, got rid of the immaturity and cuteness of childhood, and became more three-dimensional and exquisite.To use a joke that Mr. Lu once said, even the best painter in the world can't draw Lin Huaiyu's face.
Although Lin Huaiyu is extremely beautiful, he is not feminine at all. On the contrary, as he grows older, the heroic spirit between his brows becomes stronger.Coupled with his calm aptitude, it is difficult for people to think that he is a daughter.
The empress asked Lin Huaiyu and the others to sit down, and then asked with concern if anything happened to them on their way to the capital.
Lin Huaiyu first thanked the empress for her concern, and then said that their journey was very smooth and safe, and nothing happened.
The empress felt relieved when she learned that nothing happened to them when they came to the capital, and then asked how Lin Ruhai was doing.
Lin Huaiyu said that Lin Ruhai is in good health and can continue to serve the emperor.
This remark was very pleasing to the empress, who thought of Lin Huaiyu's examination of junior middle and junior high school students.
"You didn't let me down. You have been studying hard in recent years."
"Students dare not forget the empress' teachings."
The empress asked: "You passed the junior three-yuan exam, are you sure you will pass the big-three-yuan exam three years from now?"
Hearing this question, Lin Huaiyu's heart skipped a beat, and he crazily complained to the system: "Why do they think that if I can pass the junior high school entrance examination, I can then pass the high school entrance examination three-year examination?"
【Host, this is what they expect from you. 】
"They think so highly of me, I really don't know whether to laugh or cry?" Ever since he passed the small three-yuan exam, the word big-three-yuan has been appearing in his life constantly, "big-three-yuan How difficult it is, don't they have any idea?"
[The host is calm. 】
"No, I want to complain crazily." Lin Huaiyu could only complain to the system.
"Empress, to be honest, the students are not sure."
The empress thought that Lin Huaiyu would say that he would try to pass the university entrance examination three years later, but she didn't expect him to directly say that he was not sure, which surprised her.
"Not sure, so unconfident, this is not like you." A few years ago, Lin Huaiyu entered the palace to participate in the flower viewing banquet, which left a deep impression on the empress.She always remembers confidently and calmly saying in front of her that she will study hard and get a job as a child who will serve the court.
"Students didn't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth when they were young, and they didn't know that the imperial examinations were difficult." Lin Huaiyu would not be so stupid as to say that he was trying to get into the university.Let the words out, if you don't pass the exam by then, you will be ashamed and thrown to grandma's house.Besides, he never made a promise he couldn't keep. "Students took the imperial examination this time, only to realize that the imperial examination is more difficult than students imagined."
"However, I heard that you took the children's exam very easily. You often finish all the exam questions in the morning and sleep in the exam room in the afternoon."
Lin Huaiyu: "..." Why would the empress who is far away in the capital know about this?
【It was the examiner who told Emperor Qinglong. 】
Lin Huaiyu was speechless. Did the examiner tell Emperor Qinglong about me sleeping during the exam?
【Host, Emperor Qinglong wanted all your exam papers before, so the examiner will report your exam situation to Emperor Qinglong by the way. 】
Lin Huaiyu complained in her heart, what is there to tell me about sleeping in the exam.
"Isn't that so?" The empress said with a smile, "I read all your exam papers, and you answered very well without any mistakes. It can be seen that you usually study hard, why are you not sure?"
"Empress, the rural examination is much more difficult than the children's examination." Xiao Sanyuan was the younger brother in front of Da-San-yuan.The big three-yuan is a thousand times more difficult than the small three-yuan.
"I don't think there's any problem with you."
I think I have a problem.
"I believe that with the teachings of Lord Ye and Lord Song, you will definitely be able to pass the university entrance examination in three years." The empress smiled gently, "Master Ye made a promise with the emperor that he will definitely teach you to pass the exam. Zhongda-three-yuan."
"Father really said that?"
"Ask your stepmother."
Lin Huaiyu looked at Mrs. Ye, "Mother-in-law, father-in-law really said that?"
Mrs. Ye nodded slightly: "The Empress is right."
Lin Huaiyu: I have a saying mmp in my heart, I don't know whether I should say it or not.
Jia Yuanchun, who was sitting by the side, was shocked when he heard Lin Huaiyu call Ye Wenfu and his wife "foster father and foster mother".
Seeing Lin Huaiyu's face suddenly collapsed, the empress looked very serious, and asked curiously, "What's wrong, this is it?"
"Students suddenly feel a lot of pressure. If the students fail the university entrance examination after three years, won't it hurt the reputation of foster father and Mr. Song..." Adoptive father, what promises did you make to the emperor for nothing?
The queen was amused by Lin Huaiyu's distressed appearance: "You have to study hard with Lord Ye and the others in the past three years."
"Students will definitely learn from their adoptive father and the others." He was caught up in the rack and had to fight.
"I look forward to seeing you in three years' time to be admitted to the National High School-San-Yuan."
"Thank you, Empress."
The Empress only remembered Jia Yuanchun's existence at this time, she smiled at her and said, "Concubine De, I want you to stay here, the first is to let you meet your cousin and the second is to let you witness it too."
"Empress, what did you ask the concubine to witness?"
"Lin Huaiyu and the others want to recognize Mrs. Ye and Mrs. Ye as adoptive fathers and adoptive mothers. Mrs. Lin asked the emperor and this palace to be witnesses." The empress said, "I think you are Lin Huaiyu's cousin, so I just want you to come with me witness."
Jia Yuanchun was startled, but he didn't show it on his face, "This is a concubine's honor." My uncle actually asked the emperor and empress to be witnesses, this...
After a while, I heard the voice of paying respects to Emperor Qinglong from outside.
"The emperor is here."
Lin Huaiyu couldn't help looking forward to it. He wanted to know what the emperor would look like to make his father and Ye Wenfu desperately loyal.
