Chapter 944: Dream of the Red Chamber, Lin Daiyu (107)
"Get up!"
An Jinxin instructed, "We'll be relying on you from now on."
Do we have any other tasks planned for us?
"Your Highness, it is time for everyone to have their meal."
Meihe respectfully replied, "This servant will go and fetch the meals for all the ladies. Please wait a moment."
"Okay, go ahead!"
An Jinxin told them to leave.
Then they looked at each other and smiled.
Everyone knows that only one palace maid helped during the selection process.
Many things need to be solved by myself.
Let's help each other out.
Zheng Mingzhu said, "I don't know how to comb hair. Does anyone know how to comb hair? Please help me!"
Combing my hair is fine.
Cheng Shiyu continued, "I'm not very good at makeup. Every time I draw my eyebrows, they're either too thick or too thin, or one is higher than the other. And the blush on my face is either too heavy or too light."
I just can't figure it out, I need your help with this too.
……
It is indeed much more convenient to live together with people you know.
At least there won't be any arguments or fights.
When there are many people, there is too much right and wrong.
This is not a joke.
The palace housed hundreds of young women, all of whom were pampered and spoiled legitimate daughters.
Some people are gentle, while others are domineering.
Some people may seem sunny and cheerful on the surface, but they are actually quite cunning and scheming.
Some people may appear gentle and weak, but they can be quite ruthless.
People of all kinds of character gathered together.
It's impossible not to think of problems.
Li Siqi and others often gossip online, living a very comfortable life.
Time passed quickly amidst all sorts of bizarre events and conspiracies.
Before they knew it, the young ladies-in-waiting had been living in the palace for three months.
The palace selection was fast approaching.
Everyone was excited and looking forward to it.
After all, everyone can go home after the palace selection.
Amidst everyone's anticipation, the palace selection was held as scheduled.
Groups went in and then came out one after another.
Soon, Li Siqi and the other three were summoned inside.
They were all just there for show.
They met only once and he gave her a sachet and left her a token.
Since these young women would not enter the Emperor's harem, they were all sent home first, regardless of whether they were given flowers or sachets.
After saying goodbye to the others at the palace gate.
Everyone got into their own carriage and went home.
As soon as Li Siqi got off the carriage, she saw Xu Ruxin and her younger brother standing at the door to greet her.
"Mother!"
Li Siqi quickly stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Greetings to Mother!"
"Yu'er, there's no need for such formalities."
Xu Ruxin quickly helped her up, "You've lost weight, you've lost so much weight."
Yu'er has suffered.
You need to take good care of yourself.
"Mother, don't worry, Yu'er is fine."
Li Siqi responded with a smile.
He reached out and patted the little guy's head again.
Lin Dingxi smiled sweetly, "Sister!"
"good!"
Li Siqi raised her eyebrows. "Did you miss your sister?"
"miss you!"
Lin Dingxi looked very serious and said, "I miss my sister so much!"
Li Siqi was amused and replied with a smile, "Sister misses Xi'er very much too."
"Let's go inside and talk."
Seeing how close the siblings were, Xu Ruxin smiled and said, "Yu'er should rest well first."
"We'll talk things over properly when your father gets back."
"it is good!"
Li Siqi agreed.
Although she didn't feel tired, she still wanted to relax by herself.
Life in the palace was alright, but it was by no means easy.
He returned to his own courtyard to rest.
evening.
The family gathered together.
Lin Ruhai still felt heartache after not seeing his daughter for a long time.
He personally served her a lot of food, saying, "Eat more, take advantage of this time to nourish yourself."
"Don't worry, Father, Yu'er is fine."
Looking at the small bowls that were almost piled up, Li Siqi had to stop her father from continuing to put food in them, saying, "This is enough."
"If I take any more, I'll be stuffed."
"Okay, I won't pick it up anymore."
Lin Ruhai put down the serving chopsticks and instructed Xu Ruxin, "Madam, tell the kitchen to cook more medicinal dishes for Yu'er to nourish her properly."
A girl's body must not be weakened, otherwise she will easily fall ill.
"Don't worry, sir, I've already given the instructions."
Xu Ruxin nodded in response.
Then, looking at Li Siqi, he said, "Yu'er, you need to be obedient. You've lost a lot of weight and really need to replenish your energy."
"it is good."
Li Siqi found it difficult to refuse her parents' kindness.
I had no choice but to obediently agree.
After having a meal.
The family sat together chatting.
Xu Ruxin inquired about what had happened in the palace.
Li Siqi also told her the inside story she knew.
Lin Ruhai frowned as he listened.
They clearly disliked the palace maids who caused trouble out of nothing.
That concludes the gossip about the palace.
Li Siqi asked curiously, "Father, has His Majesty told you?"
Who did he ultimately agree to marry his daughter to?
"Yes, sir."
Xu Ruxin was equally curious, "The marriage is about to be arranged, hasn't His Majesty told you yet?"
"Have!"
Lin Ruhai glanced at them and said, "I was just about to tell you about this."
"Father, please tell me!"
"Sir, whose house is this?"
Li Siqi and Xu Ruxin asked in turn.
"It must be royal."
Lin Ruhai looked at his daughter with a hint of worry in his eyes, "It's either the Fourth Prince or the Sixth Prince."
His Majesty has probably not made a decision yet.
"How could it be them?"
Xu Ruxin frowned. "The eldest sons of various families in the capital are all quite good. Why not choose them?"
If Yu'er marries into the royal family, she will easily be implicated.
"His Majesty has his own considerations."
Lin Ruhai said in a deep voice: "However, the main candidates for the Fourth Prince's harem should be women from old aristocratic families and military families."
Based on our family's situation, the sixth prince is more likely to be the one to act.
Although the sixth prince was a bit young, he was quite straightforward.
This kind of temperament is more suitable for Yu'er.
"The sixth prince's birth mother came from an ordinary background, and her family did not have much influence."
Li Siqi said softly, "His Majesty certainly won't be wary of the Sixth Prince, so we can't find him a wife from a family that's too prominent."
They also couldn't give him a wife from a family of lower social standing.
Perhaps our family is a good fit.
……
Fengyi Palace.
"Sixth brother, I guess!"
The Emperor said to the Empress, "If the Lin family girl marries Xiao Liu, she will bring him a lifetime of wealth and honor."
Three generations of descendants will have no worries about food and clothing.
"His Majesty is joking."
The Empress was both amused and exasperated. "Sixth Prince is a prince. Whether it's him or his descendants, they certainly won't have to worry about food and clothing."
However, both Daiyu and Xiao Liu are good-looking.
If the two of them were to get married, they would truly be a divine couple.
Everyone who looks at it will find it pleasing to the eye.
"These two children are indeed good-looking."
The Emperor couldn't help but laugh when he heard her words, "Their children will be very good-looking too."
"She'll definitely grow up to be beautiful."
The Empress laughed and said, "Two people as celestial as immortals, their child will surely resemble a little fairy..."
……
three days later.
The imperial decree for the marriage came out of the imperial study.
More than half of the powerful and influential families and ministers in the capital received imperial decrees to bestow marriages upon them.
The same goes for Li Siqi.
She became the sixth prince's wife.
This surprised many people.
You should know that there are quite a few people secretly eyeing her.
No one expected that she would eventually be betrothed to the sixth prince.
