[Red Mansion] Princess Ji

I rushed back to the capital from Liangzhou, since I walked faster than when I came here, after all, it was not a march, there were few people, and they were lightly dressed and ridden lightly. Except for a carriage and accompanying people, it still took more than half a month to rush back to the capital. .

It was late at night, the carriage was rumbling, and when we arrived at the gate of Prince Ji's mansion, the porter at the gate of the mansion was still dozing off. It was freezing cold, so a pot of charcoal fire was lit beside him, and he was wrapped in a thick coat. I want to doze off, not to mention it's already late at night, no matter how serious it is, I won't be able to enter the city right now.

There is a curfew in the city, but no one thought that Ji Yuanlan and Daiyu really entered the city late at night and went straight to the palace.

"Sleepy?" Ji Yuanlan looked at Daiyu, and couldn't help asking: "If I had known this, I shouldn't have listened to you. I was traveling all night, and I should have stayed outside the city for one night before entering the city. At most, it would only be a one-night delay. "

Hearing this, Daiyu shook her head, and hearing Ji Yuanlan's words, she glared at him, "I was supposed to rush back, not to mention the rush of time, there is no reason to live outside when I get home."

"Yes, yes, what the concubine said is that you can only enter after the concierge of the palace wakes up." Ji Yuanlan raised the curtain and took a look outside. Ding An had already stepped forward to knock on the door, and Daiyu couldn't help but chuckled when she saw this.

Zijuan was in the carriage, looking at Daiyu's face, and gathered her clothes up again, lest she be frozen.

From Liangzhou to the capital, the road was calm, nothing happened, it was much better than when we went, but it was hot when we went, and it was cold when we came back, and some places we passed were still thick The heavy snow made it inconvenient for the carriage to travel, and it took some time. Fortunately, I finally returned to the capital on the tenth day of March.

The concierge, who was sleeping soundly with the hand stove in his arms, heard the sound outside, and couldn't help but froze for a moment, thinking it was a dream, he was sitting there in a daze, when he heard a knock on the door knocker, he hurriedly got up.

"It's coming! It's midnight, who is knocking on the door, disturbing people's sleep!"

The concierge went to open the door while muttering, but when he opened the door, he was terrified, rubbed his eyes and looked behind Ding's case, almost sat on the ground in fright, "Little, little prince is back!"

This howl woke up the entire palace, followed by a burst of ping-pong-pong, the lights in each yard were turned on, and those who had just fallen asleep and those who were sleeping deeply couldn't bother to sleep, and they were all crowded together The lobby waits for orders.

When Daiyu got off the carriage, Ji Yuanlan supported her. Just as the two of them walked up the steps, a figure ran out of the palace, ran to Daiyu's side, and held her hand intimately.

"You guys are back. It's been almost a year since you left. If you don't come back, I want to go to Liangzhou to look for you. Is something wrong?"

"Yun'an!" Daiyu looked at Ji Yun'an in surprise, "You, if you were dressed like someone else, you would be surprised. The princess who is usually so gorgeous is so informal."

Ji Yun'an looked at the two of them angrily when she heard the words, "Isn't it because they all heard that you were at home, so they came out in a hurry. If you ask me, you two should either come back sooner or later. Come back at night, this city gate is under curfew, you must be able to enter the city because of the token in my brother's hand, right?"

As he said that, Ji Yuanlan looked to the side, and the brother and sister met each other's eyes, and they could understand each other's thoughts without talking.

Thinking about it, Ji Yun'an couldn't help feeling aggrieved and wanted to cry. The two of them had been away for so long, Ji Yuanlan looked darker, and the eyebrows were not as sharp as before, but Daiyu didn't look too big Changes, but from this look, it seems to be a little thinner.

"Why do you look thinner? Fortunately, when you get home, you can make up for it and make sure you can get it back in a month." Ji Yunan took Daiyu inside, and looked over at Ji Yuanlan, "Are you tomorrow morning Don't you want to return to the emperor?"

"Well, let's come back first, and the rest of the people are still behind. This time we won the battle, so naturally we have to come back to receive the reward and seal, and we can only stay in Beijing until May before going back."

"So fast!"

Doesn't that mean he can only stay for two months before going back?Ji Yun'an was only happy when she heard the news after a while, she immediately pursed her mouth and said displeasedly: "Why did you go back so soon, the emperor is too cruel, really—"

"Don't let other people hear your words." Ji Yuanlan shook his head helplessly, looking at Ji Yunan, "Then the matter between you and the young master has been settled? Zhu Jing is also a good person, as long as he restrains his temper, it may not be possible in the future It can't work."

Daiyu looked at Ji Yun'an with a smile. When they heard the news when they were about to leave Liangzhou, they were quite frightened, but since King Yongkang and Princess Wang felt that this marriage could be settled, there must be nothing wrong.

No matter what happened to Zhu Jing, he also practiced martial arts and literate since he was a child, and he is also a member of the clan. He is well-known in the capital. Although he and Ji Yuanlan did not get along with each other in the past, most of them just wanted to compete with each other, and they hadn't done much. Things that hurt nature and reason, not to mention the rest, this time I was able to settle down with Ji Yun, probably because I restrained my temper.

According to Ji Yuanlan's information, Zhu Jing has indeed restrained himself a lot, and he made progress all at once, and was appreciated by the emperor.

"You are well-informed, but he is still a human being."

"You are the one who speaks like that?"

"What's the matter? It doesn't hurt anyone if I say that. I say the same in front of him, and he can't bear it." After Ji Yunan finished speaking, the smile on her face couldn't be hidden, "If he has any objections, I will I don't want to marry him."

Come on, people are willing to fight and willing to suffer, and no one can convince anyone. Fortunately, it is like this, that is, each person's marriage has his own marriage, and it can be the same everywhere.

When the three of them walked outside the front hall, they saw King Yongkang and his concubine standing there. Daiyu and Ji Yuanlan were startled, looked at each other and stepped forward, "I've seen my father and my mother."

Princess Yongkang's eyes were red, seeing the two standing there intact, no fame or fortune could compare to the two returning from Liangzhou safe and sound.During the Battle of Liangzhou, they listened to the battle report from the front line in the capital, and their hearts were frightened, not to mention the plague, which frightened Princess Yongkang.

Stepping forward to support Daiyu and Ji Yuanlan, "It's good to be back, it's good to be back, it's not early, go to wash up and go to bed first, what to say, save it for tomorrow."

"You guys go back and rest quickly, and you were disturbed to get up together in the middle of the night, Yun'an, why don't you help father and mother go back to rest." Ji Yuanlan looked at the parents in front of him, and nodded to King Yongkang, "This time I can There is no shame, Liangzhou won the first battle, and after this, it may be safe for a while."

King Yongkang nodded with a smile, "You kid, you have grown up."

The topic of the father and son is always like this, everything is silent.

Ji Yun'an stepped forward and supported Princess Yongkang, "Mother, you can relax, since you're back, it's a good thing, what to say, let the family sit together tomorrow and talk slowly."

"Well, take a break, it's time, and I must be exhausted after rushing all the way back."

"Understood, mother, you should go and rest soon, we will go back to the yard now."

Sending off Yongkang King and Princess, Ji Yuanlan and Daiyu looked at each other and couldn't help laughing. Ding An and Zijuan and the steward had settled down with the entourage. followed.

Zijuan waited on Daiyu to freshen up. Daiyu looked at Zijuan and couldn't help saying: "You don't think Xueyan will think that we leave her alone?"

"But when you asked her, girl, she agreed, and——Young Master Gu couldn't do without her. Young Master Gu was still young, so General Gu might not be able to take good care of this trouble, at least Xueyan also took care of her. for several months." Zijuan took off the pearl hairpin for Daiyu, "Aren't we going back too?"

Hearing this, Daiyu nodded, remembering what happened at that time, she couldn't help sighing, "But there are still three younger sisters, and it's not like Xueyan doesn't know everyone."

"Exactly, Cui Mo used to be in the garden. If you go to General Zhou's mansion, you might be able to talk. Don't worry about it. I think you feel a little uncomfortable on the way. Would you like to invite a doctor to come and see her tomorrow?" See?" Zijuan looked at Daiyu, "The Princess is right, she lost weight."

"It's not so precious, it's just that I'm too tired, just rest for a few days, and if I'm really sick, can you still watch me sit here peacefully? When I'm sick, don't I just lie in bed and recuperate?" Dai Yu pulled Zijuan's hand, "The last time I went back to Liangzhou, it happened that Madam Yan was unwell, so I can take her there this time."

Zijuan nodded, "Yes, the girl misses everyone, except herself."

Taking a reproachful look at Zijuan, Daiyu got up and walked to the bed, where Ji Yuanlan also came in, and Zijuan nodded at the two of them and exited the room.

As soon as Daiyu sat down, Ji Yuanlan got into the quilt with her arms around her. The two of them nestled together. Daiyu made Ji Yuanlan laugh out loud, and found a place to lean on Ji Yuanlan's shoulder.

Coming back this time, he will stay at home with King Yongkang and his concubine tomorrow, and he has to go back to the Lin Mansion the next day, and then he has to take some time to go to the Jia Mansion.

Apart from these things, she naturally had to go back to the Lin Manor to help. After all, only Mrs. Liu is in charge of things in Lin Wenjin now. Marriage, especially marrying others, there are many things. It's good if she can help a little, but Worried that Princess Yongkang thinks she is too worried.

"Thinking about what?"

"I'm thinking that I have to help my aunt. My brother is getting married. There are a lot of things to be busy. There is only my aunt in the house. How can I be busy? Although there are other people following this matter, I am afraid that it will be difficult to go to the Ruan family. There are too few Lin family members, and even if they come to arrange the marriage, they can’t spare it. Gusu is far away, and it’s already exhausting to have a glass of wedding wine, so how can I bother them.” Daiyu raised her eyes and looked at Ji Yuanlan, “ You said, will mother let me go?"

Ji Yuanlan laughed and said, "What? Are you still worried about this?"

"I'm afraid that my mother thinks I'm too tired, it's nothing else."

Stretching out his hand to caress Daiyu's back, Ji Yuanlan shook his head and said: "Don't worry, mother may go with you. Mother also has credit for Yizhi's marriage, so don't worry."

Daiyu nodded, leaning against Ji Yuanlan, and wanted to say something more, but felt sleepy, so she couldn't care about talking, and soon fell into a deep sleep.Listening to the steady breathing, Ji Yuanlan shook his head and laughed, and kissed Daiyu's forehead before falling asleep in peace.

On the second day, Daiyu accompanied Princess Yongkang for a walk in the garden, and Ji Yunan also accompanied them. The three of them were talking and laughing. Daiyu told them about Liangzhou and picked out some interesting things in daily life. Ji Yunan listened with gusto to the jokes that were made because of the difference between the two places, but it turned out that it was her turn to ask when she and Zhu Jing were still in contact.

"You child, sister-in-law asked you something, and you didn't say it?"

"What, sister-in-law is asking me something? She obviously wants to see me laugh." Ji Yunan sat down, poured herself a cup of tea, and said, "I think you are all looking at me to bully me."

"Look at this child." Princess Yongkang shook her head helplessly, "I'm going to get married in a while, and you're still so childish. When you arrive at the Hou Mansion, I see you like this. Who do you want to like?"

Daiyu looked at Ji Yunan's speechless expression with a smile, and smiled.

"Yun'an is innocent and innocent, how can anyone not like it?"

"It's the right thing to say."

Just as Ji Yun'an finished speaking, Zijuan saw a little maid hurriedly approaching outside, her face changed drastically after hearing her say a few words, she glanced at the people in the pavilion, and hurried forward.

He opened the heavy curtain and walked to Daiyu's side.

"Girl, someone from Jia's mansion is here."

The sound is not loud, but just a few people can hear it.Princess Yongkang and Ji Yun'an looked at each other, but they were not surprised by Zijuan's expression. They were both in the capital, so they naturally heard something.

But when Nianzai Daiyu just came back, she didn't mention this matter. After all, Daiyu suffered a lot in Jia's mansion in the past, but Yongkang Palace is a place to protect weaknesses. What is the relationship between Yu and Jia's mansion?

"what happened?"

"The old lady said that she is dying soon, so she asked you to go." After Zijuan said this, she looked at Daiyu. Daiyu's expression changed instantly, and she sat there for a long time before she came to her senses.

Helping Zijuan to get up, Daiyu looked at Princess Yongkang and Ji Yunan opposite, "Mother, I..."

"Let Zijuan and Dingan accompany you. It is inconvenient for us to go at this time. Presumably the old lady has something to tell you. When my son Jin comes back later, I will let him go to Jia's mansion to pick you up." Princess Yongkang said After saying this, he got up and told the maid beside him, "Go get someone to prepare the sedan chair, and then go to the storeroom and take two high-quality ginseng with you."

"Yes, servant girl will do it now."

Daiyu looked at Princess Yongkang, speechless, and nodded after a while, "Thank you, mother."

Ji Yun'an looked at Daiyu, hesitated to speak, let Princess Yongkang take a look, then just nodded and comforted: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, the old lady is getting old too."

Hearing that Daiyu let out a breath, she finally came back to her senses, and nodded towards the two of them, "I'm afraid I'm in a hurry when someone comes here, I'll go and have a look first, so I won't be with my mother."

After saying this, he helped Zicuckoo to leave the garden and walked out quickly.

When she arrived at Jia's mansion, Daiyu got down from the sedan chair, and walked quickly to the old lady's yard without caring about the rest. The servant girls and servants along the way were surprised when they saw Daiyu, but they didn't dare to go forward.

Everyone knows Daiyu's current identity, let alone obstructing her, even if she takes a second look, she is afraid that people will misunderstand her.

Walking into the yard, she could already hear crying and talking inside, Daiyu stopped and looked at Zijuan beside her, "Why is it that at this moment, my heart is full of indescribable feelings?"

"What kind of heart is a girl? How can she not be sad? This... let's go into the house." Zijuan looked at Daiyu, saw her eye circles were red, and stretched out her hand to help her walk in.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw the mandarin ducks standing there, and Yinger was also there, thinking that everyone in the Rongguo Mansion was here.

Yuanyang and Yinger were also startled when they saw the two of them, Daiyu didn't care about anything else, she walked around the screen and went to the inner room, saw the other people guarding the bed, and murmured: "Grandmother..."
