The splendor of the red mansion

Chapter 2
Lin Ruhai rubbed her daughter's hair, feeling a little heavy.His wife Jia Min is now also weak and suffering from chronic illness. If one day passes away, his daughter will also lose her mother's love, but how pitiful it is.Looking down at her daughter, she asked softly, "Yu'er, do you want to go see the emperor's fourth elder brother?"

Daiyu looked up at her father, she was young, but she understood most of what her father and the emperor said.It could also be seen that her father missed the fourth elder brother a little bit, so Xiao Daiyu nodded, "Will Daddy and Yu'er go together?"

Naturally, the ministers outside the harem were not allowed to go. Kangxi smiled and said, "I asked Eunuch Li to accompany Yu'er. How about your father and I wait here?"

Xiao Daiyu looked at Kangxi, then at her father, and finally nodded.Only then did Kangxi call out loudly: "Li Dequan, come in!"

After a while, Li Dequan, Kangxi's close eunuch, walked in, "Your Majesty."

"Take Yugege to Jingren Palace to visit the fourth elder brother. Take good care of him. If Yugege is unhappy, I only ask you!"

Li Dequan glanced at the little man who came down from Lin Ruhai's arms in surprise, and replied respectfully: "Your servant understands, please rest assured, Your Majesty."

On the way to Jingren Palace, Li Dequan looked at the little person in front of him curiously.I don't understand why Long Live God would want such a child to comfort the fourth elder brother.Seeing the little girl who was leading the way by the palace maid and walking unsteadily ahead, Li Dequan quickly followed closely.Long Live Lord has explained that if this little Gege is unhappy, he can ask Vita.Then he took a peek at the warm jade hanging around his neck, it was Long Live Lord's favorite jade pendant, how many empresses Princess Gege had never even touched it, but now she gave it to Little Gege without blinking.

Jingren Palace is the place where Empress Xiaoyi lived before her death. Empress Xiaoyi was ill for a long time, so Kangxi was extra gracious and didn't let the fourth elder brother live in the elder brother's place, but lived in a small courtyard in Jingren Palace, so that Do your filial piety in front of my mother at any time.Now that the queen passed away and the fourth elder brother was ill, the Jingren Palace has been lived in by the fourth elder brother alone.As soon as you walk in, you will feel a sense of desolation and desolation. Where is the warmth and tranquility in the past?
"Eunuch Li." The maids in Jingren Palace came forward to pay her respects, and couldn't help but take a second look at Xiao Daiyu.

Li Dequan said in a low voice: "Where is the fourth elder brother?"

"The fourth elder brother is chanting scriptures for the empress in the Buddhist hall, and the servants are not allowed to wait in front of him."

Li Dequan glared at them, and reprimanded in a low voice: "Si elder brother won't let you serve, you are lazy? What if the master has something to do, which one of you will be spared by the Lord Long Live?" These maids and eunuchs are already old men in the palace. Yes, it's customary to step on the white with the red, but now that the empress has gone, how dare she neglect her in front of the fourth elder brother.It's really audacious.Li Dequan grew up serving Kangxi since he was a child. He knows better than anyone else how Kangxi feels about Queen Tong Jia's master. In the eyes of the emperor, these four elder brothers are different from other elder brothers anyway. It's not something their minions can afford to be left out in the cold.

"Little Gege, the fourth elder brother is in the Buddhist hall, you go this way." Li Dequan glanced at the servants in the yard, and said indifferently: "You have eyes for what you should see and what you should say."

In the cold little Buddhist hall, the ten-year-old fourth elder brother Yinzhen was kneeling upright, with a touch of indifference on his handsome face, and his downcast eyes covered all the emotions in his eyes, as if he was a statue of a statue carefully carved. The carved statues are average.Daiyu stood quietly at the door, her little heart was a little confused, she just felt that the straight figure in front of her was full of loneliness and sadness, her nose was sore, and her eyeballs wanted to roll out.Biting the corner of her lips lightly, Daiyu boldly took a few steps forward, quietly knelt down on the cloth pier beside Yinzhen, and looked at him with her head tilted.

Yinzhen had already noticed that someone was coming in, but he just didn't want to speak.Unexpectedly, the other party would dare to come closer to him, and was about to turn around to scold him, but saw a pair of clear and bright eyes looking at him without blinking, the eye circles were still slightly red, and there were crystal tears in the eye sockets. Turn around.With a pink face and shallow eyebrows, she blinked and looked at herself.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" Yinzhen said coldly.Since the Queen Mother left, people in the palace have become indifferent to him a lot, even the servants of Jingren Palace are behind their backs.Huang Ama no longer recruited him to Qianqing Palace to study with His Highness the Crown Prince every day as before. He had not seen Huang Ama for more than half a month after a serious illness.

"Brother, don't be sad, this is for you."

Yinzhen lowered his head, looking at the thing that was forced into his hand by the little doll.It is a piece of extremely fine sweet-scented osmanthus sugar.A small piece of off-white was made into the shape of a flower.Daiyu looked at his smiling eyebrows, and said, "Mother said that if you feel bitter, you can eat a piece of candy to make it sweet. Brother, eat it." Daiyu took Yinzhen's injured candy and brought it to his mouth, asking him to eat it. go down.Looking at the lovely crystal-like doll in front of him, and the faint scent of sweet-scented osmanthus candy, Yinzhen's eyes got wet for some reason, as if he had forgotten that things of unknown origin in the palace should not be eaten, so he just looked at Daiyu The little hand took the sweet-scented osmanthus sugar into his mouth.A faint sweetness and fragrance immediately filled the mouth, "Who are you? Baby."

Xiao Daiyu wrinkled her little nose, "I'm not a doll. I'm Yuer. Little Yuer from the Lin family."

Forest?Yinzhen looked at her, "Are you Lord Lin Ruhai's daughter?" Although she didn't know much about court affairs, there were not many girls from the Lin family who could move around in the palace.He had heard Huang Erniang and Huang Ama talk about Lin Ruhai several times.Huang Ama's former companion and confidant, Huang Erniang's cousin, Xilin Jueluo, who was supposed to hold a lot of power but invited him to go to the south of the Yangtze River to be a fifth-rank official, was like a sea.

Hearing her father's name, Xiao Daiyu's eyes lit up, "Brother, do you know my father?"

Yinzhen shook his head, saw Daiyu's disappointed eyes, and added: "I often hear about Huang Erniang and Huang Ama. Master Lin brought you here? Why are you here?"

Daiyu blinked and said with a smile: "Daddy was talking to the emperor. The emperor asked Eunuch Li to bring Yu'er. The emperor said that brother was ill." Hearing that Huang Ama was still thinking about herself, Yinzhen felt warm and said softly : "Brother is cured."
