The Rebirth of Jia Min in the Red Chamber

"Concubine Wu wants you to be the second prince's concubine." Daiyu told Xue Baochai directly.

Xue Baochai originally listened with her head down, but when she heard this, she looked up at Daiyu in astonishment.

"Of course, this is not the only way, you can choose to leave the palace." Daiyu added.

Xue Baochai pursed her lips subconsciously.

"It's about your life, you can go back and think about it, anyway, it's still the country's filial piety." Daiyu said softly.

"I thought my empress would hate me and dismiss me casually." Xue Baochai murmured.

"I don't like you, but I won't randomly influence a person's life because of my personal likes and dislikes." Daiyu said calmly.

Hearing this, Xue Baochai knelt down, pouted her head on the ground, and said, "I've made up my mind. I would like to be the Second Prince's concubine."

She straightened up, thinking about Daiyu, seeming to persuade Daiyu, seeming to convince herself, "The Xue family is a merchant in Jinling, and everyone is thinking about the Xue family's money. You borrow some today, and he will ask for some tomorrow. Zibao had to bother to win over the officials in charge. Later, the Xue family married my mother, and my uncle's family was the only way for the Xue family to survive. But now..."

She sighed and continued: "The backing of the Xue family is no longer stable. Although the second prince will be the idle king in the future, fortunately, he has a name and can be the backer of the Xue family. If I go out of the palace, I will be old. I am old, and I come from a merchant family, a good family will not let me be a regular wife, and an ordinary family cannot help the Xue family, so it is better to be the second prince's concubine than to be a concubine in the palace."

After hearing this, Daiyu was silent for a moment. She was not Xue Baochai, so she could not evaluate Xue Baochai's choice from a superior position. Whether it was a smooth road or a fire pit ahead, since Xue Baochai had chosen, she could only go on.

"Okay, I'll talk to Concubine Wu later."

"Thank you, ma'am." Xue Baochai knelt and thanked.

The next day, Daiyu went to see Concubine Wu.

Concubine Wu smiled and said, "Thank you, Ma'am, for worrying."

"I was right for him. I brought him up, and received the grace of the emperor, ennobled him to open a mansion, and gave him a wife and a concubine." Wu Guifei's smile faded a little.

"The concubine has a motherly heart, and the second brother also remembers it in her heart." Daiyu said.

"I don't expect him to remember my kindness, as long as he doesn't blame me." Concubine Wu said angrily. A few days ago, the second prince had heard rumors that his biological mother was killed by Concubine Wu. Yes, there was a lot of fuss.

It was Tu Chong who called him over, scolded him, and found the old man from back then. Only then did the second prince realize that he had misunderstood and apologized to Concubine Wu.

But after this trouble, Concubine Wu also became cold-hearted. Anyway, she will live in Shoukang Palace in the future. The second prince is filial.

At that time, Concubine Wu made it clear to Daiyu that she wanted the second prince to leave the palace to open the house.Daiyu and Tu Chong said that although Tu Chong is not close to his younger brothers, he will not be stingy with what he should give, so he made the second prince and the third prince princes together, namely King An and King Ping. , Let the Ministry of Internal Affairs prepare to build the palace.

"After raising him for so long, I didn't expect to be such a foolish person." Concubine Wu was a little downcast, "It's fortunate that his marriage has been settled, otherwise I have to worry about you, my mother. I don't know how to make such a fuss with such a foolish person. .”

"Your Majesty and I know how the concubine is doing." Daiyu comforted her, "Toffee, please relax."

Concubine Wu Gui sighed.

After that, Daiyu didn't have anything to worry about, she just cared about raising her baby.

After the beginning of spring, she was particularly prone to sleepiness, often when Tu Chong came back, she was reading on the big kang by the window, but fell asleep leaning on the pillow while watching, Tu Chong couldn't bear to wake her up, They all put her on the bed.

Daiyu woke up in a daze, and said to him, "You're back." As soon as she spoke, she yawned.

Tu Chong looked at her and said amusedly: "Since you are so sleepy, why don't you go to bed and sleep on the kang, you can't sleep well."

"I wanted to wait for you." Daiyu's voice was sticky, and she put her arms around Tu Chong's waist.

Tu Chong stroked Daiyu's hair, and when he heard Daiyu grunt comfortably, he said with a smile, "I'll go wash up first, and I'll be right back."

"En." Daiyu reluctantly let go, wondering if pregnant women are more sensitive to emotions, Daiyu feels that this period of time is particularly clingy.

Tu Chong also noticed it, and moved to Daiyu to review the memorial, and Daiyu sat opposite him, either reading or embroidering flowers.As soon as he looked up, he could see Daiyu's peaceful face, and he felt very at ease.

After entering the summer, it became more and more troublesome day by day. Daiyu was not afraid of heat, but because of her pregnancy, she dared not use ice, so she asked the palace maid to fan her, but Tu Chong was afraid of heat. He was here with Daiyu. Often covered in sweat, Daiyu felt distressed, took out a handkerchief to wipe his sweat, and persuaded him to go to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to review papers, but Tu Chong was reluctant.

"It's okay, just change into light and breathable clothes later." He glanced at Daiyu's embroidery work and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon, I made you a sachet."

"It's too exhausting." Tu Chong felt distressed, and held Daiyu's hand, "Let the maid do it."

Daiyu didn't know what came to mind, she laughed and said, "Back then, why didn't you feel sorry for me, and changed ways to ask me to make things?"

Tu Chong laughed softly and said: "I was thinking about you back then, and wanted something to entrust my friendship with. Now my dream has come true, you are by my side, and I don't need anything else."

"I was alone in the palace at that time, and no one had ever made anything for me. I saw my father-in-law and Yuanbi both carrying purses and sachets made by you. I envied that they had family members who cared about them. It's not that there is no one who misses me like this." Tu Chong recalled the past, and his words were a little melancholy.

Daiyu's heart was so soft when she heard this, she held his hand lovingly, leaned against his side, and said softly: "In the future, there will be me, and the children will miss you."

The further back, Daiyu's belly got bigger and bigger, but her figure was as slender as ever. Sometimes when she was walking on the ground, Tu Chong would be very worried. On one side, Daiyu looked restless, and she was annoyed, and drove him to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and called Jia Min into the palace to accompany her.

Daiyu and Jia Min complained, "Walk one step at a time. If I move a little, I'm worried. I have to stretch out my hands to protect me when I go up the steps. It's so annoying."

Jia Min saw that although Daiyu said this was annoying, but her face was radiant, and she didn't expose Daiyu's duplicity, she listened with a smile.

"I heard from Nanny Song that His Majesty will still press your feet and legs?" Jia Min asked.

Daiyu's face turned red all of a sudden, and Jia Min laughed and said, "Your Majesty loves you, but you have to have a sense of proportion in your heart, and you can't be proud of favors."

Daiyu complained, and said: "The child is our child. I have worked so hard to carry the child. At this time, I am not proud of being favored. How can I have a chance in the future?"

Jia Min smiled and took the tea from Su Mu. Seeing Su Mu's leaving figure, she said to Daiyu with some doubts: "I often see Su Mu serving in front of you, but I rarely see Su Zhi."

Daiyu said indifferently: "Su Zhi talks too much, and she is dexterous, so I let her make some clothes for children."

Jia Min also threw it away, and asked Zhu Guang to summon the wet nurses and midwives selected by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and finally picked four midwives and four wet nurses.

As the delivery date approached, everyone in the Hall of Mental Cultivation was concerned.

Finally it was time for delivery, Jia Min and Nanny Song followed to the delivery room, Jia Min held Daiyu's hand at the bedside, Daiyu forced a smile, and reluctantly said to Jia Min: "Go out, mother, the delivery room is filthy. "

Naturally Jia Min didn't leave, she comforted Daiyu and said, "It's okay, I'll just stay here, don't be afraid to hear the midwife."

Nanny Song directed the midwives and maids of honor.

The midwives were all selected by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Tu Chong went to investigate privately and found that they were all from innocent families, but there was a midwife surnamed Liu who went to panic, and Nanny Song kicked her out immediately, leaving behind two Mistress Xu, Mistress Wang, and Mistress He were calm, and Mistress Liu was held down by eunuchs waiting outside as soon as she left the palace gate.

Mistress Liu was trembling with fright, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "This servant has something important to report, someone is going to murder the empress."

Tu Chong stood up all of a sudden, his eyes turned red, and he snapped, "What did you say?"

Mistress Liu trembled even more, "The maidservant saw Miss Su Zhi next to the empress together with Mistress Xu, and also saw Mistress Xu giving Su Zhi a pack of medicine."

"The servants are afraid that something will happen, and they will all be implicated to death, so they are in a mess."

Tu Chong turned his head to look into the hall, he saw Daiyu's shouts one after another, and the next moment, he ignored the maid's obstruction and walked quickly into the delivery room.

Jia Min saw it, and hurriedly said: "Why is Your Majesty coming in, get out quickly, don't cause trouble."

Tu Chong ignored him, and grabbed Su Zhi. Su Zhi was holding a bowl of medicine, but Tu Chong threw her to the ground, and the medicine bowl was broken with a crisp sound.

Daiyu's mind was pulled back a bit, she looked surprised.

"It's okay, I want to stay with you." Tu Chong said in a deep voice, Jia Min saw a few strong nuns who came in and took Mistress Xu and Su Zhi away, she was very panicked, and wanted to say something, But seeing Tu Chong's chill, he still didn't say anything, and took a step back to make room for Tu Chong.

Jia Min thought that something had happened, and Nanny Song was watching, so she went out to stare at others.

Daiyu wanted to persuade Tuchong, but bursts of pain hit her, and Daiyu didn't know how long the pain was before giving birth to her and Tuchong's first child.

Nanny Song was very happy, and said to Daiyu, "Girl, you are a little prince."

Daiyu felt tears welling up in her eyes, this is a child connected with her blood, she said urgently: "Let me see."

The child was crumpled, bloody and filthy.

Tu Chong held Daiyu's hand and said, "The child is fine, but the crying is deafening."

Nanny Song calmed down her excitement and said, "I'll go wash the little prince, and the empress also has to freshen up. The emperor will wait outside first."

It was only then that Daiyu realized how embarrassed she was now, and Tu Chong saw it. She turned her head away in embarrassment. As if Tu Chong didn't smell the smell of blood and sweat on her body, he kissed her forehead softly. Said: "Then I will come over later."

After the little prince was washed, he was wrapped in a small quilt, and Tu Chong stared at him quietly. The child was still red and wrinkled, and his facial features were crowded together. Nanny Song explained to him with the child in his arms: "Little child It looks like this when it was born, and it will become white and fat after a few days."

But Tu Chong suddenly stretched out his hand to hug him. Nanny Song was startled, and carefully gave the child to Tu Chong. As soon as Tu Chong hugged him, his body froze. Nanny Song laughed secretly and taught Tu Chong how to hold the child.

Liu Fulu waited on the side, looking a little anxious: "Your Majesty, it's time to go to court in a while. You have been guarding all night, why don't you go and squint for a while first."

"No, I'm going to see the queen." After finishing speaking, she took the child and went to the inner room. Daiyu had already wiped it briefly. Look."

Tu Chong hugged the child and showed it to her. Daiyu was full of affection and touched the child's hand. The husband and wife didn't say much, they just leaned together and looked at the child.

After a long time, Daiyu looked at Tu Chong and said, "Your Majesty, go and lie down, you will have to go to court later."

"I'm not sleepy. I've never been so energetic and happy. Thank you Xixi."

Daiyu smiled: "We are husband and wife, no thanks."

Tu Chong was persuaded by Daiyu for a while, then went to court.

Daiyu also felt tired, but she remembered about the time of childbirth and wanted to ask, but Jia Min forbade her and said, "Take a break, the little prince should be breastfeeding too. Ask when you are refreshed."

Daiyu still asked, "What happened to Su Zhi?"

"I don't know yet." Jia Min shook his head.

Daiyu's expression was a little downcast, Jia Min persuaded: "We haven't come to a conclusion yet, Su Zhi has been with you for many years, most likely he is innocent."

"Don't make things difficult for her." Daiyu still couldn't bear it.

Jia Min nodded and said, "Don't worry, she is a decent court lady after all."

Daiyu just fell asleep. What Jia Min didn't tell her was that Su Zhi, Nanny Xu, and two or three court ladies and eunuchs were all taken away by the Punishment Department.
