Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

Chapter 313: Clinking glasses and living a life of luxury!

"Maidens are not allowed in here," the eunuch said, frowning.

The two maids behind Jia Min stood straight and strong.

At this time, Jia Min also thought of Lin Ruhai's instructions.

She immediately leaned back, her body becoming even weaker, as if she was about to faint. She said weakly, "Please tell the Queen, Eunuch."

"My family has suffered a drastic change, and I am not feeling well. I will just wish the Empress a long life from afar in the outer hall."

"I won't go in and disturb the ladies!"

Lin Daiyu, who was standing by, also seized the opportunity. She stood behind Jia Min and held her arm.

The father-in-law's eyebrows were furrowed so tightly that they could pinch a fly. The Jia family had just severed their relationship and they might be heartbroken.

But this is too delicate! The master is not worthy to go in, and she wants to bring a maid, but inside...

Whatever! Just go in! It’s not completely off limits.

Some old nobles also brought their own maids.

Thinking of this, the father-in-law snorted with disgust.

"Have you registered everything?"

"These two maids."

Jia Min nodded, "Father, we have registered. Fourth and Fifth, show your registration cards to Father-in-law."

Upon hearing this, the two maids behind Jia Min took off the badges from their waists and handed them respectfully to the eunuch.

The father-in-law looked carefully, confirmed that everything was correct, and then waved his hand, "Go in!"

Jia Min gritted her teeth and followed the eunuch, with Lin Daiyu following closely behind.

……

The hall was magnificent, decorated with lights and looked extremely luxurious.

The gorgeous carpet extends from the palace gate into the hall, with exquisite flowers and rare treasures placed on both sides.

Gorgeous palace lanterns were hung high in the hall, one circle after another, and the flickering candlelight illuminated the entire palace.

The male and female guests were dressed in gorgeous clothes with fluttering sleeves, embroidered with exquisite patterns and glittering with jewels.

The men wore golden crowns and brocade robes.

The female guests wore precious jewelry, had exquisite makeup and were graceful.

In the center of the palace, there is a huge longevity peach.

There are also huge screens of the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea placed on both sides.

Lin Daiyu felt dazzled, and the two of them followed their eunuch to the ladies' seats.

When Lin Daiyu saw this position, she understood immediately.

This is really embarrassing.

The female guests are not all in one row; the first row is more honorable.

The second row is second, and the third row is even worse...

Who is this mean person who arranged the fourth row for them...

There are several layers of heads between us.

It’s better to be outside, at least it’s bright and spacious.

Now let’s look at the people’s heads. Some of them have so many accessories on their heads that there is no place to put their fingers.

Are you tired?

Who could not forget Jia Min in this occasion? Lin Daiyu kept complaining in her heart that she was being given so much face.

Jia Min's face was tense and she gently held her daughter's hand.

I’m afraid she won’t be able to control herself and cause trouble.

Today, someone is trying to make me uncomfortable.

Who have you offended?

She looked towards the male guests from afar, but couldn't see them clearly, nor could she see Lin Ruhai and others.

Forget it, just live with it!

She took her daughter's hand and went to the back row.

……

As for the male guests, Lin Ruhai's eyes were as bright as lightning. He was also in the back row, but there was someone in the front row who attracted his attention more.

He did not notice the arrival of Jia Min and the other person.

Yong'an, who was standing next to Lin Ruhai, had his lips pursed tightly without a single gap.

He was extremely uneasy.

Quietly moved towards Lin Ruhai.

"Father, in front..."

Lin Ruhai grabbed his arm and said, "Don't say that. That's the Prince of Nan'an. You don't know that person."

Yongan felt a little sad for some reason. He sniffed.

I nodded secretly. How did my cousin become the Prince of Nan'an?

Does your sister know?

At this time, Lin Ruhai leaned close to his ear and said, "Yong'an, remember, even when the knife is on your neck, you must say that you don't know that person."

"I stay at home reading books every day and have never met the prince."

Yongan suppressed the bitterness in his heart and held tightly onto his collar.

……

"There is music from Prince Beijing's Palace down below."

"A Beautiful Moon Over Flowers..."

Then a burst of music started,

Lin Daiyu and Jia Min were standing behind, looking calm and composed.

This is also good, you can’t see but you can hear.

The music is melodious and the dance moves are purely based on imagination.

But one advantage of being back there is that you can occasionally hear people whispering.

Since everyone was at the back, the sound seemed as hidden as their figures.

I will say a few words secretly if I can't hold it back.

Lin Daiyu's ears had long since been distracted from the music.

She heard people gossiping.

"Have you heard that this birthday banquet was arranged by Princess Chaoyang, the Queen, and Concubine Jia?"

"The position of the Prince of Nan'an is hilarious. He was arranged behind the prince."

"What's the matter? Maybe Princess Chaoyang is taking this opportunity to take revenge!"

"Who doesn't know what happened back then?"

"Princess Chaoyang has dragged herself up like this. How can I not be angry?"

"Wait!"

"There will be a lot of fun today."

"I heard that Concubine Zhen and the Queen Mother came together today. Who is His Majesty..."

"Shut up!"

Immediately, a scolding voice was heard.

Lin Daiyu was listening with great interest, but the key information was missing.

She noticed that Jia Min's face seemed to be getting paler and paler, as if she was really sick.

"Mom! Are you okay?" Lin Daiyu grabbed Jia Min's hand.

I noticed that her hands were shaking and her palms were sweaty.

Lin Daiyu pressed hard to comfort her mother, then leaned towards her.

……

At this time, there was sparse applause.

"it is good!"

Someone applauded!

It looks like it's coming to an end.

Lin Daiyu muttered to herself.

……

Sure enough, the eunuch's sharp voice sounded again.

"The flowers are in full bloom and the moon is full, which is a good omen. Queen Mother, Your Majesty, please appreciate it."

"The next one is from the Ning and Rong mansions..."

Before the eunuch could finish his words, a familiar voice sounded, teasing and flamboyant, with a piercing ending.

"Is it my turn now?"

"You can't say it, so I'll say it for you."

"I, the Prince of Nan'an, congratulate the Queen Mother on her centenary and perform a sword dance,"

"The Storm in the Mu Mansion"

"Come on! Get on stage!"

This voice... Lin Daiyu's head suddenly felt hot and she wanted to stand up.

Jia Min felt weak all over and leaned against Lin Daiyu, making her unable to move.

"My Yu'er! Don't move!..."

Her voice trembled, and her meaning was also conveyed to Lin Daiyu.

Lin Daiyu's own hands were shaking.

"why?"

"Mom! You all know this, right?"

The man who was hiding secretly in the Lin family was the prince of Nan'an.

that person……

How could the overbearing and unreasonable Prince of Nan'an be my cousin?

Fake cousin! Cousin Lin, cousin Jia Lin, you have been hiding it so hard!

The surging indignation in Lin Daiyu's heart burst out.

She held Jia Min's arms tightly, her heart beating like a drum and her eyes burning like fire.

Why didn't you say so earlier?

The defeated king, seeking survival by marrying a bride, my God!

How could it be him? ...

After taking all precautions and breaking off the relationship with the Jia family, I unexpectedly fell into another deeper pit?

Lin Daiyu's heart sank.

Now, everyone in the Lin family can no longer taste the fine wine and has no appetite for the life of luxury.

Once a family enters this palace, they will be the focus of special attention.

Four people, comforting each other, waiting for the truth to be revealed.
