The splendor of the red mansion

Chapter 8 Returning to the Palace
"Fourth elder brother, get up quickly, and Yu Gege get up quickly. Come here and let Mama take a look." The queen mother waved very kindly.Empress Xiaoyi was extremely loved by the Empress Dowager when she was there, and naturally she loved Yinzhen who was raised by Empress Xiaoyi more than other grandchildren.Although he is not as good as Yin Qi who was raised in front of him since he was a child, he is not much worse.Yinzhen got up and walked to the Empress Dowager. The Empress Dowager looked carefully at Concubine Xian and smiled, "Si Prince's complexion is better than in the palace. This Lin Ruhai family really knows how to support people." Concubine Xian smiled slightly Said: "That's right. The Lin family and the Tong family are also somewhat related by blood. The fourth elder brother can be raised there and my sister is at ease." Then he pulled Yinzhen to him and asked softly: "How can the fourth elder brother live outside the palace? Get used to it? But if there is something missing, just tell me.” Seeing the appearance somewhat similar to the deceased Empress’s Empress, Yin Zhen’s eyes were slightly red, and he called out in a low voice, “Aunt.” So did Concubine Xian. Her eyes were red and she said softly: "Good boy." The palace is not a place where you can cry freely. Concubine Xian quickly looked at Daiyu and smiled: "This is Mrs. Lin's Yugege? Empress Dowager, look at Yugege It looks so juicy."

The queen mother also smiled and said: "No, the Ai family thinks that Yu Gege looks three points better than Jia Min back then. Come on, girl, tell the Ai family how old it is?"

"Go back to Empress Dowager, Daiyu is four years old."

"What a lovely person. From now on, just call Mama just like the fourth elder brother." The Queen Mother took off the jadeite bracelet from her hand and put it in Daiyu's hand.

Daiyu looked at Yinzhen hesitantly, and seeing Yinzhen nodding, she called out in a crisp voice: "Yu'er thanked Mama Mama."

Since the Empress Dowager rewarded them all, the others naturally had to reward them.Several concubines gave one of their own accessories to Daiyu one after another.Fortunately, it is Empress Xiaoyi's filial piety period, and the concubines' accessories are mainly emerald, white jade or silver, and there are no such gorgeous and eye-catching gold gems.Daiyu thanked her one by one, but Daiyu was taken aback when she met the concubine De who sat at the end, although the concubine De had a calm expression, she looked at Daiyu with disgust in her eyes.Daiyu was slightly taken aback, and after thanking Concubine De, she returned to Yinzhen's side and refused to leave.Yinzhen glanced at Concubine De indifferently, with a trace of sadness in his eyes.He heard every word Concubine De said that day, and at that time he only felt the chill all over his body.These days passed and my heart became lighter. Originally, she never regarded herself as her son, and she didn't know that besides the Queen Mother, there was another Mother Mother.Since she doesn't want herself, she just pretends she doesn't have it.

"Forget it, I feel relieved to see the fourth elder brother mourning the family well. Don't stay here to accompany the old lady of the mourning family. Fourth elder brother, you take the jade girl for a walk, and come back later to accompany the emperor mama Meal is enough."

Yinzhen should be so, and took Daiyu to leave.Concubine Xian quickly ordered the maids and eunuchs beside her to follow up and wait on her.

Waiting for the two little people to walk out of the hall hand in hand, the queen mother glanced at the last concubine De before she said to noble concubine Xian: "The queen is gone now, since the emperor ordered you to take care of the fourth elder brother, you should be more careful. Anyway Si elder brother not only calls you mother concubine, but also calls you aunt." Concubine Xian quickly agreed: "You can rest assured, queen mother. The concubine will never let fourth elder brother be wronged." Now the emperor will change the jade certificate , the fourth elder brother is the prince from their Tong Jia family.Not to mention how much my elder sister loved her in every possible way during her lifetime, she would not lose fourth brother just because of the emperor's orders.

Concubine Yi covered her lips and smiled and said: "Empress Dowager, such a lovely elder brother as the fourth elder brother, none of us who are mother concubines can bear to lose him. You can rest assured." A pair of winking eyes glanced at the silence that was half a smile but not a smile. Concubine De of the language.There has never been an impenetrable wall in the palace. Some time ago, Concubine De refused to raise the fourth elder brother and angered the emperor, and the emperor is still cold.I don't know how Concubine De thought that Concubine Yi now has three elder brothers by her side, the fifth elder brother Yinqi, the ninth elder brother Yinzhen, and the eleventh elder brother Yintang, and she never thinks she has too many sons.This Concubine De is good, she pushed the son back out in a good manner.You must know that the fourth elder brother was originally the most favored elder brother besides the crown prince, but now that the fourth elder brother lost his mother, the emperor will favor Concubine De for a while even for the sake of the fourth elder brother.Now it's good, not to mention the fact that his son is gone, let Concubine Xian, who has just entered the palace for less than two years, be promoted to Noble Concubine first.

The Empress Dowager also looked down upon Concubine De, and the Empress Dowager was very displeased with Concubine De who had no children.Although it was Tong Jia who took your son away back then, Concubine De, who was only a noble person at that time, was not qualified to raise her son, and as compensation, the emperor also promoted her to be a concubine.Now that the queen is gone, and the fourth elder brother is not very old, why would he not get close to you if you treat him well?After all, it’s still a piece of meat that fell from your body, isn’t it? "The Ai family knows that you are all good. Since Concubine De wants to take care of Elder Fourteen, she should take good care of her."

Concubine De lowered her eyes and said lightly: "The concubine obeys the order."

Daiyu and Yinzhen were not concerned about the many thoughts of the concubines in the Compassionate Ning Palace at this time. Yinzhen led Daiyu to Chengqian Palace to pay respects to Empress Xiaoyi before going to the Imperial Garden as if in the Lin Mansion. Followed by a group of court ladies and eunuchs dispatched by Concubine Xian.

Yinzhen used to live in the imperial palace day after day, and had no interest in the imperial garden, while Daiyu was used to seeing the beautiful scenery in the south of the Yangtze River since she was a child, and at most she praised the magnificent and luxurious scenery in the imperial palace, after all, she didn't like it much. of.It's just that Yinzhen loved the lofty Yujing Pavilion, leading Daiyu up the steps, the maids and eunuchs who were frightened behind him hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him, "Oh, brother Si, be careful. The servants are here to hug Yugege up. Let's go." These two were ordered by the Empress Dowager and Concubine Xian to be careful in serving them, and if there was an emergency, it would not be enough for people like them to kill all over the house.Yinzhen frowned, after all he didn't like the people below to touch Daiyu.He waved his hand to make them retreat, and carefully led Daiyu up.Under the terrified gaze of the bottom group, the two successfully climbed to the top of Duixiu Mountain.

"Brother, it's so beautiful!" Daiyu stood outside Yujing Pavilion and looked into the distance, with the whole Forbidden City in sight.Yellow glazed tiles, the palace is continuous and majestic.Compared with standing in the imperial garden and looking at the exquisite beauty of artificial carvings, it is a bit more soul-stirring.This is the image of royal atmosphere and dignity.Yinzhen smiled and said, "As long as Yu'er likes it." In the past, he often climbed up here with the emperor's mother to look far away, listening to her teachings.It's just that things are different now.
