[Red Mansion] Princess Ji

No matter how lively a play is, there will be a curtain call. Looking at the direction of the stage, Daiyu gradually quiets down, knowing that this year's spring banquet should also be the end of the banquet.

Daiyu and Lin Wenjin accompanied Mrs. Liu to stand up, intending to bid farewell to Princess Yongkang. Although the Empress Dowager arranged for it today, only Princess Yongkang came. Everyone at the banquet could tell that today was the decision. who is the person.

When she said goodbye and returned to the carriage to sit, Daiyu was already drowsy, she leaned her head and tapped her chest.

The sound of the carriage rumbling was very clear on the quiet street, and when she arrived at the Lin Mansion, Daiyu had tossed her sleepiness a few times, half-closed her eyes and let Zijuan and Xueyan support her.

"Hurry up and help your girl go back and take care of everything. Ma'am has us here, so you just take care of the girl." Nanny Chang supported Mrs. Liu, and seeing Mrs. Liu also looked tired, she urged the two of them, "Go quickly." yes."

"Yes, I see."

Zijuan gave Xueyan a wink, let Daiyu half lean on her body, and then helped Daiyu to walk in--it was a toss up today, and she hadn't rested since she left the house in the morning .

If you want to come back half an hour later, you really don't know what the result will be.

"Go and fetch water for the girl, don't be so troublesome as usual, just wash up." Zijuan watched Daiyu nodding her head non-stop while sitting on the soft stool, her neck was probably made uncomfortable by this movement, Glancing at the little maid at the door, "Be quicker."

Seeing this, Xueyan glanced at Zijuan, "I'll go and help, they are not used to serving, I know the girl is used to it, you change the clothes for the girl first."

"Alright."

Daiyu opened her eyes in bewilderment, glanced at Zijuan beside her, and said softly, "Go home? What time is it?"

"It's Hai time."

It's so late?She has been asleep for a long time in the past.

"Are you sober?"

"Sleepy, but it's better than before."

Zijuan helped Daiyu to the bed and took a set of clean clothes, "Change the clothes on your body first, look at you, you can hardly keep your eyes open."

Hearing this, Daiyu laughed, opened her eyes and let Zijuan change her clothes, and yawned halfway.

It's really tiring. If there is another banquet like this in the future, she will really say that she is sick at home, but it seems even more impossible in the future.In a daze, I remembered Ji Yuanlan's words today, and the meaning in those words, no matter how you look at it, she has made up her mind.

Now that I have made up my mind, I am afraid that the day when I come to my door is not far away.

"Is it possible to go to the Wangfu?"

"Go for it." Zijuan looked at Daiyu and couldn't help but said, "There are so many rumors and rumors, but the girl doesn't understand in her heart, those words are just sour to see you well."

Daiyu frowned lightly, turned over and lay on her side, "Forget it, it's useless to think too much."

What should come will always come, she shouldn't think about it, and she doesn't have to think about it, it really made today's spring banquet uneasy, the nobles on that scene made her have some thoughts that she shouldn't have.

Putting down the bed curtain, Zijuan looked at Xueyan who came in and made a 'shh' gesture, signaling her to be gentle so as not to wake Daiyu.

You can go to the palace if you can, but now you have to go.

Dong Fu rushed to Ji Yuanlan's study quickly, saw Ji Yuanlan practicing calligraphy, and hurriedly said: "My lord, my lord wants you to come over."

"Father sent someone?"

"Well, I met you outside, so I invited you here to tell you." Seeing that Ji Yuanlan stopped writing, Dongfu stepped forward to clean up the pens and paper on the table for him, "It seems that I am in a hurry, so hurry up, my little prince." past."

Hearing this, Ji Yuanlan nodded, put down his sleeves and walked out.

It's just that what can be so urgent to call him over right now?Apart from the fact that the court and China have not had any disputes recently about the excessive rain in the southern province, even Lin Wenjin, who has always been busy, is rarely able to return home from the Imperial Academy on time.

Could it be that something happened on the frontier?

'Knock knock—'

"Father, it's me."

"Come in."

Ji Yuanlan pushed open the door and walked into the study, looked at King Yongkang who was sitting behind the desk, and walked forward after saluting: "Father asked me to come here this time, but what happened?"

King Yongkang put down what he was doing and looked at Ji Yuanlan, "There are two reasons for calling you here."

two things?Ji Yuanlan frowned.

Why did it become two things? It sounds like the situation is not very good.

"Which thing do you want to hear first?"

"It's all about me?"

"kindness."

"Let's talk about the thing that sounds better first." Ji Yuanlan said, "It won't make me feel too sad when I hear another thing, at least I can feel relieved."

King Yongkang said with a smile: "You will make fun of yourself, but since this is the case, then I will tell you the good news first."

Seeing the smile on King Yongkang's face, Ji Yuanlan guessed something, but he didn't dare to make a conclusion, for fear that the excitement would go to his head and he would wake up and find that it was just a big dream.

Looking at King Yongkang expectantly, "Father, just say it, no matter how bad the news is, it will just kick me into the army."

"I went with your mother on the day of the spring banquet, and I saw the girl you liked. That girl was beautiful, with a clean family background, but now her parents died young, and she lived with her uncle and aunt. Among the Hanlin, Lin Wenjin is her elder brother, and he can be considered from a good family background."

"What does father mean?"

"Your mother and I are not snobbish people, not to mention that Yongkang Palace can't afford to take advantage of the influence of the daughter-in-law's family to stabilize the position in the court. I am the same as your mother in this matter. If you like it, you can come to the door early to make a decision." , so as not to cause disputes in the future." Yongkang Wang pondered for a moment and said: "Then Lin Wenjin is quite well-known in the court now, and future generations are to be feared."

Ji Yuanlan stood up at once, walked up to King Yongkang and made a big gift, "Thank you father and mother for being enlightened!"

He used to worry that his parents would hesitate because of Daiyu's family background, and it was impossible for him to agree to Daiyu's entry in the name of his wife.

That's why he went out of his way to help Lin Wenjin take root in Beijing, and brought him to have wine and tea with his friends.

His eyes were full of joy, "With my father's words, I will ask my mother to come to propose marriage tomorrow and settle the matter!"

"Don't forget, I still have something to tell you."

"Father just speaks bluntly, don't talk about running errands for the emperor, even sending me to the frontier to station, as long as I can bring my family with me, then I will work hard and never complain!"

King Yongkang shook his head helplessly and said: "I don't know whether to say you are smart or stupid. This matter is indeed related to the frontier, but it does not require you to station in the frontier, but—"

Ji Yuanlan froze for a moment, "Could it be—?"

The father and son looked at each other, knowing what was going on, and they knew what was going on without opening their mouths.
