Lin Daiyu's Rebirth

The prince couldn't sleep at night because he listened to the concubine's mumbling in sleep and the cicadas chirping outside the window.

Concubine Siyu, who has neither a good family background nor a beautiful appearance, has been in the palace for so many years and has gradually begun to curry favor with the powerful and wealthy.

The prince knew that all the women in the palace were vying for his favor. He was their heaven, but sometimes he disliked love that was too performative.

Looking for innocence and comfort, but where can I find that comfort except Yu'er's innocent eyes?

That year, when apricot blossoms were in bloom and there was a drizzle, the emperor issued an edict, appointing Ruxue and Siyu as concubines, and the two of them entered the palace together.

Siyu is playful and cute, and as poetic and picturesque as her name suggests, even after so many years, the prince still remembers them as they were at the beginning.

If Ruxue were still alive, would she be like them?

If Ruxue were still alive, would the child be a boy or a girl?

Will she use all kinds of means to please herself like them and be as greedy as them?

As he was thinking, the prince fell asleep.

In the morning, the prince saw that Siyu was still asleep, so he returned to his room early.

The prince called Xiao Luzi and asked him to go to the courtyard to see Daiyu.

"Xiao Luzi, you should hurry to that small courtyard in Suzhou tomorrow.

Instruct the kitchen to make more cakes that Miss Lin likes.

Go to the warehouse to select some high-quality cloth to make clothes for Miss Lin, and ask the tailor in the mansion to make two sets of clothes for Miss Lin to wear first overnight.

Bring more silver and give it to the old lady. The prince instructed.

"Your Highness, the Governor of Shandong sent two boxes of the finest Dong'e Ejiao, and the Governor-General of Zhili sent two ginseng sticks.

"Take it over to nourish the girl. It's been in the storeroom and has never been used." Xiao Luzi whispered in the prince's ear.

The prince waved his hand, letting Xiao Luzi handle it. He told Xiao Luzi, "Don't let the first wife know. Don't let any word get out."

Xiao Luzi nodded and went out.

Xiao Luzi came to the kitchen, called the kitchen manager aside, and whispered to him that he wanted to make some excellent pastries in the evening and prepare the ingredients in advance during the day.

The steward was a bit confused, but because of the prince's order, he didn't dare to say anything else. He could only look at the materials available in the kitchen and then send someone to buy them.

Xiao Luzi went to the warehouse and picked out some cloth, took it to the tailor, and told the embroiderers to make two sets of clothes for the girls first. They had to be finished by tomorrow and he would take them on the road.

At night, Xiao Luzi saw that the entire palace had become quiet, so he thought of going to the kitchen and the tailor to check.

In a hurry, Xiao Luzi encountered a figure. He shone the light on it and found out it was Xiao Quanzi.

"It's so late, why haven't you slept yet? Manager Lu is really busy!" Xiao Quanzi joked.

"No, no, I just didn't sleep well. I came out for a walk. Let's have tea together later." Xiao Luzi smiled and left.

It's so late, what is he doing out here, Xiao Quanzi thought. No, I have to follow him secretly to see what he is doing.

Xiao Quanzi watched Xiao Luzi walk away and followed him from a distance.

He saw Xiao Luzi walking towards the kitchen, which was brightly lit at this late hour.

Xiao Quanzi suddenly remembered, yes, Fu Jin had told me to pay attention to Xiao Luzi, it turned out that he was going to see that woman.

Poisoning the food would expose his true identity. Let's see if he brings anything else.

Xiao Quanzi thought to himself, my master said that if I succeed in my great undertaking, he would give me a small official position. Then I would be more glorious than Xiao Luzi.

He went to the warehouse. Could he be choosing supplements for that woman? Xiao Quanzi saw Xiao Luzi carrying two boxes of donkey-hide gelatin and a piece of wild ginseng back to his room.

Suddenly an idea popped up in his mind. While Xiaoluzi went to the kitchen, Xiaoquanzi switched the donkey-hide gelatin without anyone noticing.

This tonic was originally presented as a tribute by the Governor of Shandong. Even if something happens, it cannot be blamed on me.

They only cared about whether the cakes were poisoned or not, and would not think of the tonic. Thinking of this, Xiao Quanzi went to sleep happily.

Before dawn the next day, Xiao Luzi went to pay his respects to the prince. He happily set off with the cakes made in the kitchen, and the clothes and supplements made overnight by the tailors.

In the evening, Xiao Quanzi took advantage of the fact that the prince was not with the eldest wife and told her what happened last night.

The eldest wife ordered, "Don't let anyone see your true intentions. Also, tell Xiao Quanzi to avoid visiting the prince for the time being. For now, you must remain calm and hold your ground."

"You little vixen, you're too naive to fight with me. The one at home hasn't been cured yet, and now another one comes." The eldest wife said hatefully.

This is exactly the case where either the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind prevails over the east wind.

Zijuan and Xueyan were locked up here for several days.

Seeing that they were pretty and smart, Mother Qian thought that they were short of people recently and it would be difficult to find two such clever girls in the surrounding villages, so she decided to let them do the chores first.

Mother Qian came to Zijuan and Xueyan's house.

"Mom, mom, good mom, please let us do the chores. We two sisters are grateful for your great kindness.

We kowtow to you!" Zijuan saw Mother Qian coming and pulled Xueyan to kowtow while speaking sincerely.

"Look up, let me see. It's a pity that two such pretty girls don't become singers.

"But it's not impossible. You two give me 20 taels of silver, and I'll do you a favor and let you stay here as a maid." Mother Qian thought, with such a pretty face, if she stays here, what if she comes to her senses one day?

"Twenty taels of silver, that's a lot! Where can we get it for you?" Xueyan said distressedly, "We are poor children. How can we get that much money?"

"That's your business. I won't let you be a singing girl, but I, Zui Hong Lou, won't do business that loses money.

You two girls, please think about it. I'll give you a few days. If you don't have the money by then, don't blame me for being rude." Mother Qian said and left.

After Mother Qian left, Zijuan and Xueyan fell into deep thought again. They had no money on them.

When they went to see Master Le Fan, they felt it was unsafe to carry the silver bills with them, so they hid them in the empty coffin.

Now that such a long time has passed, it would be unsafe to rashly get the banknotes.

Besides, that was the talisman that Mr. Lin left for Daiyu. They would definitely use it unless it was absolutely necessary.

But since Mother Qian left, Zijuan and Xueyan's room doors were opened and they could come and go as they pleased.

An idea flashed through Zijuan's mind. She looked around to see if there was anyone around, and whispered to Xueyan, "Let's go, late at night. Let's confuse them for two days so they think we've figured it out."

Xueyan nodded silently and said helplessly: "Sister, since the girl is not here, we two have to depend on each other. I just hope to find the girl as soon as possible so that we can live a good life."

"Someone, help me,

Someone, help me!

Someone is robbing a woman, come here,

I am a woman from a good family.

Help, help..."

Suddenly, a woman's loud shouting broke the silence of the night.
