After the rebellion was successful, I realized that this place was the Red Mansion

Chapter 77 Yun Yatou's good fortune is coming

At noon that day, Baochai and Baoqin came back from visiting Daiyu at the Xiaoxiang Pavilion. As they passed by the Qinfang Pavilion, they saw a figure with a bee waist, a monkey back, the posture of a crane and the shape of a mantis lying on the railing of the bridge, waving her little hands, throwing something into the river.

The two walked over and saw that she was still lying there in a daze. Baoqin asked with a smile: "Sister Yun, what are you doing?!"

Shi Xiangyun turned around and saw them, and then she became happy: "Sister Bao, Sister Qin!"

As he spoke, he pointed into the water. "I'm watching the fish, the fish in the garden. When a few leaves blown by the wind fall into the water, they rush over like crazy to grab them. Are they hungry?"

Baochai glanced at the goldfish in the river and said with a smile, "No one has had the time to feed it lately, so it's extremely hungry. Ying'er, tell the housekeepers who used to be in charge of feeding the birds in the garden to remember to take good care of them."

Ying'er agreed but did not go. Instead, she called one of the maids who were following her and relayed Bao's words to her.

Shi Xiangyun laughed and said, "Sister Bao is becoming more and more like the authority of Grandma and Madam! Tomorrow, what should I call Grandma or Madam? Or should I kneel down and call her Imperial Concubine~"

Everyone laughed.

Baochai raised her hand and pinched her cheek, "Now I'm really in a mess. Even Yun girl is teasing me!"

"Good sister, I won't dare to do it again~"

Shi Xiangyun begged for mercy, and suddenly smiled at the two of them and said, "Chatting with you for a while has helped me release a lot of the anger in my heart."

"What's the frustration inside?" Baoqin asked.

"I can't tell what it is."

Shi Xiangyun walked forward, knowing that they were going back to Hengwu Garden, and said as she walked:

"Several of my sisters have left, and my second brother and his family have also left. Although there are still many sisters in the garden, it's no longer the same as before when we all chatted and laughed. Everyone is worried, afraid of this and that. As the saying goes, when the nest is overturned, no eggs can remain intact. Even I often worry that everyone will disperse. Sister Bao, Sister Lin, Sister San, Sister Qin, Miss Xing..."

She did not mention the emperor of the Xin Dynasty at all, but every sentence was about him.

There was not much expression on Baochai's round and rosy face, she just listened to her.

Baoqin blushed slightly, lowered her head and said, "I heard that Sister Yun is also going to enter the palace?"

Shi Xiangyun puffed up her lips and said a little aggrievedly, "I originally wanted to enter the palace, but Prince Qian... the emperor didn't summon me anymore. Writing letters is useless. Sister Zhu told me that it was the antique dealer Leng Zixing who didn't mention me, so the emperor didn't know about me. Now I have no choice. Those who stayed behind have been sent to the Ye Ting Palace as slaves..."

The gap between being a daughter of a marquis and a servant in the Ye Ting Palace is quite huge.

Shi Xiangyun looked at Baochai with envy and reached out to touch her waist: "If I had Baochai's figure, I could also be a concubine!"

Baochai was most afraid of heat and itchiness. When she touched her waist, she trembled all over and dodged with a smile.

Baoqin looked at her and smiled, "Sister Yun is also a beautiful woman. She looks a bit like the Western women I saw in Zhenzhen Country. They wore chain mail and carried Japanese swords, looking as heroic as men going to the battlefield!"

Shi Xiangyun looked at her in surprise: "How do you know I've worn men's clothes?"

"You know I have a good vision~" Baoqin said with a smile.

Xiangyun also smiled and asked them, "Did you just come back from Sister Lin's place? Is Sister Lin feeling better? I went to see her this morning."

"She's the same as always, except she's tearing less and her mind wanders when she talks."

Xiangyun sighed and said, "Sister Lin must be thinking about my second brother. He has gone to the military camp, and I don't know how he is doing."

When talking about the military camp, Baochai and Baoqin also felt sad, as did their brothers Xue Pan and Xue Ke and Baoyu.

After the three of them had walked for a while, Xue Baochai glanced ahead and said to her with a smile, "We're almost at Hengwu Garden. Miss Yun, do you want to sit with me for a while?"

Shi Xiangyun did not go and said goodbye and went home.

It's not the Shi family, but the place where Old Lady Shi and her second and third aunts live in Rongguo Mansion, in the five large flower halls behind Lady Jia's courtyard.

Soon, it was time for dinner and some simple meals were served. The whole family, including Old Mrs. Shi, ate the old rice with vegetables that did not have much oil.

When her second aunt heard that she had met Baochai, she couldn't help but say, "You are such an ignorant girl. It's just dinner time, why did you come back? Go to Hengwu Garden to have a meal with Miss Bao, and you can also eat the young lady's food. If Miss Bao remembers the old lady, maybe she can ask someone to send a dish over."

Now there are only three people in the mansion who can enjoy the treatment of young ladies. Most of Lin Daiyu's meals are given to Lady Jia, Lady Wang, and Lady Xing, while most of Bao-girl's meals are given to Lady Jia, Lady Wang, Wang Xifeng, and others.

There really isn't anything left to give to others.

Shi Xiangyun ate silently while holding her bowl. Her second aunt sighed again, "Now our family is living under someone else's roof, and we are worried that the emperor will investigate and blame us again. I wonder how your second and third uncles are doing outside..."

"There must be a way!"

Shi Xiangyun put down her bowl and chopsticks, "I'm full, please eat slowly, auntie!"

Her second aunt was about to say something to her when a maid suddenly came running in and reported, "Auntie, please get out quickly! Master Xia, the eunuch in charge of all six palaces, has come to issue an order to summon Miss Yun from the Shi family to the palace!" "Ah!"

This news was like a bolt from the blue. Even Shi Xiangyun was shocked. Her second aunt kept saying "Amitabha" and was so happy that she quickly urged Shi Xiangyun to change clothes and go to Rong Xi Hall to wait for the imperial edict.

"Why did he suddenly ask me to come to the palace?"

Shi Xiangyun was shocked by the sudden news. Only after her second aunt pushed her did she slowly come back to her senses. She went into the house to change her clothes, but suddenly she remembered that her clothes were all with Grandmother Jia, so she hurried over.

When they arrived at the old lady's room, they found out that Yingchun had also been called into the palace. Xiangyun then realized that it was because their names were on the first letter.

After leaving the ceremonial gate and waiting for half an hour, Xia Shouzhong finally arrived on horseback. After entering Rongguo Mansion, he walked to the hall, stood facing south, and said:

"Special decree: Tomorrow, summon the second daughter of the Jia family and the daughter of the Shi family to the palace at 9:00 a.m. tomorrow."

Under the gaze of many people including Lady Jia, Old Lady Shi, Lady Wang, and Wang Xifeng, Jia Yingchun and Shi Xiangyun stepped forward together to receive the order.

Xia Shouzhong took a look at them and saw that they were of good looks, not comparable to ordinary women. They were indeed the daughters of marquisates. He smiled and said:
"Tomorrow at noon, I will send someone to pick up the two girls and take them to the palace in sedan chairs! Girls, please be prepared."

"I remember that. Thank you, Grandpa!"

Xiangyun agreed, and Yingchun also agreed. Then Xia Shouzhong took a few young eunuchs and went out on horseback.

Xiangyun went back and asked the old lady of the Shi family, "Grandma, when someone from our family came to the palace before, there was never a sedan chair to pick them up. Why did the emperor send someone to pick me up?"

Everyone laughed and said, "Girl Yun, good things are about to happen!"

good thing?

Xiangyun looked at them and suddenly realized: she...she and Yingchun entered the palace to serve the emperor.

So he lowered his head and said nothing, his face flushed, and was pulled back by them.

Yingchun was also a little confused. She just did whatever others told her to do. When she returned to Lady Jia's room, she saw that everyone was so happy, and she couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

Grandmother Jia, Old Lady Shi, and several ladies from the Wang family all came together to explain to Shi Xiangyun and Jia Yingchun the rules of the palace, where they could walk and where they couldn't walk, what they should do when meeting concubines, how they shouldn't look around, and how they should remember to be polite.

Avoiding them again, several wives discussed together: "Regarding the emperor's bed, the palace maids should have taught us first, but now the maids haven't come..."

"Maybe he's going to stay in the palace for a few days, or maybe he'll never come back?"

"So we're going to teach her both?"

"There are nannies in the palace, and what we teach is not in accordance with the rules!"

"That's right, just tell Miss Yun."

In less than half an hour, everyone in Rongguo Mansion knew the news that Xiangyun and Yingchun were going to enter the palace. All the sisters came to visit them, and it was very lively for a while.

Xue Baochai said with a smile, "Since I'm going to the palace tomorrow, I'll take the liberty of asking the kitchen to make some delicious food for Yun and Second Sister tonight. What do you think, Sister Qin?"

Baoqin of course agreed, and even suggested making one for everyone, but everyone declined.

When it was time for dinner, seven or eight delicious dishes were placed on the Shi family's dining table. Xiangyun's second aunt and third aunt called all their daughters over, and the family finally had a happy meal.

As the one who made the greatest contribution, Xiangyun was naturally happy, but she was also worried about what she should do when she entered the palace tomorrow and met Prince Qian...the Emperor?

She wanted to talk to Sister Bao, but somehow she ended up at Xiaoxiang Pavilion and met Sister Lin.

"Sister Lin, you said you saw him in your dream, tell me what he looks like!"

"That Qian Wang is like a tiger, he will eat you up in one bite~"

"You can't call him Prince Qian anymore, you should call him Emperor!"

After a while, Shi Xiangyun left. Zijuan came in and whispered to her, "Miss Yun and the second young lady have entered the palace. Perhaps the emperor doesn't remember the young ladies. Besides, if the emperor saw the young ladies' condition, he would probably order the imperial physician to treat them."

Daiyu sighed softly: "I am a suspicious person. As long as things are not resolved, I will not be at peace. I hope Baoyu is well, then I can rest assured..."

Zijuan complained to her: "Miss, you said that again!"

Daiyu looked out the window and was lost in thought again.

Seeing this, Zijuan hesitated for a while and decided to tell Miss Yun the next morning and ask Xiangyun to ask the emperor to show mercy and order a royal physician to see the girl.

The Jia family had invited several imperial physicians before, but now they can’t invite any more, and they need the emperor’s order.
