Chapter 180: Choice
The spring breeze is warm and the sun is difficult to dissolve, and Daiyu's heart is cold.
Walking in the palace in the past few days, the two princesses respect Daiyu and call them "Aunt Yu". Wei Qian ordered people to give ribbons and palace flowers, and gave the position of female warden, so she was not bullied in the palace.
After a few days of passing the time, the two innocent princesses did make her feel better. But thinking of her missing husband and Baoyu abandoning her home, Lin Daiyu felt uncomfortable.
The others comforted and persuaded one by one, and it was difficult to eliminate Lin Daiyu's worries. is not only sad, but also worried about Baoyu's safety.
Jia Zheng was sullen at home, completely dead to Baoyu, and put his hopes on his youngest son and grandson.
And Mrs. Wang blamed Lin Daiyu, a mourning star, for this qiē. If it weren't for the Lin family, Jia Lian, and Wang Xifeng to help, she would have the heart to give Lin Daiyu a break.
Wei Qian gave her the position of female official, and Daiyu's life was obviously better. The status is higher than that of her mother-in-law, and with the support of her mother's family behind her, Mrs. Wang does not dare to make any more changes.
Looking at the thousands of purples and reds in the garden, Daiyu wanted to write poems to relieve boredom. Suddenly laughed at himself: "What's the use of these Raush things?" "In the face of reality, even Daiyu can only bend down and ponder oil, salt, sauce and vinegar.
She asked herself that after marrying Jia Baoyu, she was filial to her parents, considerate to Baoyu, and did her best to maintain this family. But......
Lin Daiyu really wanted to find Jia Baoyu and ask him face-to-face why he abandoned himself and the entire family.
Tears fell, and the woman wiped them slightly, and couldn't help but think of what her cousin said.
"Debts in the past life, sins in this life. Cry, cry, cry, tired of crying, tears are exhausted, the right to return to his previous life. Others persuaded Lin Daiyu to shed less tears and be less sad. Only Wei Qian still maintained a smile, and instead of persuading Daiyu, she asked her to quickly vent her feelings.
"After venting, you can only start a new life when you turn back."
Thinking of Wei Qian's words, Lin Daiyu was complicated: "My cousin is a strange person, and her heart is still like that after all these years. ”
The road of the Great Dao is long, if you don't have a firm Dao heart, how can you last for a long time?
The red dust and dark place in the palace is difficult to wear down Wei Qian's arrogance.
Walking through a peony bush, Daiyu suddenly saw a young woman in front of her hugging a girl to enjoy the flowers.
Lin Daiyu's expression changed slightly, and she turned around and wanted to leave.
"Niangniang, it's Mrs. Jia." The palace maid next to the young woman had sharp eyes, and when this call came out, Lin Daiyu had no choice but to step forward to meet her.
Xue Baochai saw Lin Daiyu coming, which made people look at the little princess well.
"Meet Concubine Xue." Daiyu saluted, with a complicated face.
In the past, the sisters who lived in Jiafu became concubines in the palace, and ......
Originally, everyone was not optimistic about Xue Baochai's future, but they didn't expect Xue Baochai to turn the clouds and rain, and his means were outstanding, and he climbed to the position of Jieyu.
She and the five princesses she gave birth to were not loved by the Queen Mother. It's just that the emperor prefers it, and he has a good life in the palace.
Baochai wears a peony placket skirt, a gold ribbon tied around her waist in the shape of a flower, and three gold hairpins on her head. One is "Proud World Snow", one is "Jinwu Treasure", and one is "Feng Yin Hai", all of which are built by Situ Yun's orders. Three pairs of a set, in the name of Xue Baochai.
Proud of the snow, the golden house is hidden, the phoenix is yin, and this kind of grace is only comparable to a few palace concubines in the palace.
The only thing that can make Situ Yun spend his mind to outperform this set of golden hairpins is the "Yumei Concubine Seal" that Wei Qian got at the beginning. Originally, the jade seal was a symbol of the emperor. Even if she is a queen, she can only use the phoenix gold seal.
But at that time, Situ Yun and Wei Qian tossed the ministers, and in order to thank Wei Qian, Situ Yun sent someone to find a blank with jade in a stone. Let the skilled craftsmen on the premise of not damaging the jade, carve out the plum blossom shadow on both sides of the white stone seal, and keep a plum blossom picture on the front, and write "Yumei Concubine" four yin characters,
With this seal stamp, in addition to the four big characters, there is a plum blossom pattern.
As soon as this seal came out, even the previous dynasty faintly heard the sound of the wind.
The jade seal is the emperor's prerogative, and now that Situ Yun has played a sidekick, the ministers are indignant. But because of the low pressure in the middle of the air during that time, he didn't dare to argue with Situ Yun.
Xue Baochai is dressed in a rich and noble manner, which is in line with her current status.
On the other hand, everyone thought that Lin Daiyu had the best future prospect back then. Now that her husband is gone, she is lonely. Although Xue Baochai has never gloated, human nature lies in contrast.
Seeing that Daiyu was only wearing a simple Luo skirt, with long hair and a haggard face, she naturally felt a sense of superiority.
And-
At the beginning, it was almost himself who married Baoyu.
Xue Baochai has feelings for Baoyu, but the feelings are not so deep that he loses his mind and abandons him for him. She has the traditional temperament of women of this era, although she is arrogant in her heart, it is difficult to fight against the entire era, and in the end she can only bow her head with the crowd.
Under the rights, Xue Baochai's life was bumpy. was summoned into the palace by Wei Qian as a female official, was arrested outside the palace and almost became a prostitute, and was finally put into the dragon bed by Situ Yun.
Under the pressure of royal power in this era, although she is unwilling, she can only act with the crowd. It's just that she maintains a sense of arrogance, and like Concubine Wen and Wei Qian, she refuses to put down her body in the palace and intrigue with the palace concubines.
This is also due to Wei Qian. What does the harem look like without Wei Qian? Concubine Wen was suppressed by the concubines in those years, and she couldn't see Situ Yun a few times a year.
It wasn't until Wei Qian rose up and swept away the demonic atmosphere in the palace that a quiet woman like her who didn't want to get involved in the fight finally lived a good life. As long as there is no fighting, no selfish means, Wei Qian will not be investigated.
Xue Baochai is favored by the emperor, guarded by Wei Qian to avoid palace fighting, and has his daughter by his side, enjoying the brocade clothes and food in the palace, and can also favor the Xue family. It's a winner's treatment in life.
The daughters who lived in Jia Province at the beginning. In addition to Wei Qian's best life, she and Yingchun can be counted. Yingchun relied on his father and brother, although the relationship was not close, but Jiafu never declined, and after all, he did not marry Bo Xingren, but married a scholar who was a scholar and a scholar.
Xichun returned to Ningguo Mansion after Jia's mother's death, and Tanchun lived with Mrs. Wang and others with Lin Daiyu, and has never married at home. Back then, Jia's mother had the intention to let her enter the palace to help a group of Yuanchun, but Jia's mother left and became empty. She followed the filial piety and did not settle for the rest of her life.
The family is good, the husband is good, the children are good, for this era, what a woman wants is nothing more than these.
Looking at Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai smiled: "It turned out to be Lady Lin." Xue Baochai didn't use the name of Mrs. Jia, so as not to touch the pain in Lin Daiyu's heart. But Xue Baochai's attitude, as well as the daughter next to him, undoubtedly looked like a winner.
Seeing the harmony between Xue Baochai's mother and daughter, Lin Daiyu didn't want to stay for a long time.
But Xue Baochai didn't let her leave, pulled her to ask about what happened outside the palace, and inquired about her mother's situation.
Although she didn't mention Baoyu, Lin Daiyu couldn't help but think about it in her mind when she said other things.
"Back then...... If I hadn't told my cousin back then, I would have insisted on marrying Baoyu. What is my result now, and what is her result? At the beginning, Lin Ruhai did not agree to the marriage, but it was Wei Qian who came forward to settle it.
"Concubine Xue." Suddenly, a golden-robed young man walked by. The young man's eyebrows are clear and beautiful, showing his heroism, and he has seven points like Situ Yun.
Xue Baochai was taken aback, and saw the young man hurriedly saluting: "His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Jieyu is Jieyu after all, but she is only a three-grade product, which is difficult to compare with the status of the prince.
Now in the harem, the prince is willing to call his mother concubine, except for Wei Qian and the two mothers who took care of him at the beginning, only Concubine Wen is the old man. is similar to Xue Baochai and others, calling him "Niangniang", which has already given him enough face.
The prince was rebellious, and the concubines understood it in their hearts, and they didn't dare to care. Situ Yun didn't care about the prince's attitude towards these concubines, what could they say?
As long as the prince respects a few mothers who are kind to him, this is already a kind of benevolence and filial piety, how can Situ Yun blame?
After all, Situ Yun would not be respectful to every palace concubine back then. Even if you worship on the surface, you can't tell what you want to do. Growing up in the palace, who doesn't know the tragedy of the palace fight?
The fifth princess and Jia saluted, and the prince nodded, with a little more smile on his face.
A sister who can't be dangerous to himself, he doesn't mind taking care of it. He has a good relationship with the five princesses of the "Jia" generation, except for Princess Roujia of Yuanchun, and the other four are okay.
Princess Jingjia grew up beside Concubine Wen and saw the prince the most at Wei Qian's place.
The crown prince asked him to give a small gift to the fifth princess. Then he said to Lin Daiyu: "Concubine Ning is looking for you, what is Aunt Yu doing here?" ”
When Xue Baochai heard this, he hurriedly said: "This palace and Lady Lin have old days, and now they want to reminisce about the past." ”
"After all, Aunt Yu is a female official who goes out every day. Niangniang is a person in the palace, and it is inconvenient to collude with outsiders, so as not to be criticized. The prince took Lin Daiyu away, and Xue Baochai's expression changed and he was silent.
"Humph! What do you say to collude with outsiders. The lady who summons the female officials outside every day to the palace every day to see him, where is there a little pure appearance? After the prince left, the palace maids around him couldn't help but feel sorry for their mother.
"Shut up!" Xue Baochai glared at her and took her daughter back to the palace.
The prince's respect for Wei Qian over the years is not a lie. In the end, he is a life-saving benefactor, and he is half a teacher, and he really regards Wei Qian as his adoptive mother.
In private, when Situ Yun's father and son chatted, they also talked about "a family of four" all day long. The Queen Mother, the Emperor, the Crown Prince and Wei Qian.
Except for the queen's regulations and title, nothing else is bad.
Xue Baochai knew in his heart that if he lived well in the harem, he couldn't fight for anything.
On the other side, the prince took Lin Daiyu out of the garden.
Lin Daiyu thanked the prince, and the prince was noncommittal: "Be careful when entering the palace in the future, there are too many battles among the harem concubines, and your identity is special, so it is inconvenient to get involved." ”
Come to the Qingbian Palace and say hello to Wei Qian.
Wei Qian put it on the gift list and said with a smile: "Why does the prince have time to come to the palace today?" ”
Situ Yun is preparing for the second southern expedition, and now the prince should be busy with regent affairs in the palace.
"Taifu said that I was too tired from reading these days, so let me come out and relax."
So, Wei Qian and the prince chatted. Daiyu listened on the sidelines, with a surprised face. The two of them are not talking about the shortcomings of the family, but talking about the government and the situation in the north.
"If my father goes south, will there be trouble in the north again this time?"
"This palace and your father are eager to make trouble in the north, and take the opportunity to kill the khan in the north, so that there can be another obedient person." This time, Wei Qian and Situ Yun are prepared, even if they face the situation of the north and the south, it will not be as dangerous as last time.
Then, Wei Qian mentioned the flood and talked to Situ Tao about the aftermath of the disaster. "Although there is no disaster at present, who can say what will happen in the future?" Wei Qian's face was unfathomable: "Understand these early, and the prince will use them in the future." ”
"That's what the mother said." The prince thought that Wei Qian was talking about himself after he ascended the throne, so he didn't think too much.
After chatting with Wei Qian, the prince took his leave and left time for Daiyu and Wei Qian.
"Cousin, I want to cultivate." After the prince left, Lin Daiyu said her mind softly.
Hearing this, Wei Qian smiled and got up from the soft collapse. This smile was brilliant and the stars were bright: "My sister has always believed that 'the road is chosen by herself, even if it is difficult and difficult, you must go on." 'Now you have chosen this cold path, have you really thought about it?' ”
"I've thought about it. Once you enter this door, you will not die or regret it! Lin Daiyu sprouted her heart word by word.
As soon as they enter the WTO and are born, the different choices of the two have gone beyond their original destiny. I don't know what to do with you, sister? Wei Qian sighed at Lin Xue's actions, and couldn't help but think of the police illusion fairy girl.
The twelve hairpins of Jinling have become a joke, I don't know what she will do next?
