[Red Chamber] Daiyu Reborn

The friendship between Mrs. Lan and the Empress Dowager has to be pushed back to more than 40 years ago, when Xiao Shi was still a queen.

At that time, there were constant turmoil in the frontier, and the cowardice of the former emperor showed more and more the strength of the empress Xiao.The army of Rong and Di was approaching, and the crisis was extremely urgent, but the first emperor was hesitant, and the generals were so worried that they almost knelt to death outside the palace. It was Xiao who rushed into the imperial study, raised his hand and slapped her husband, and took the imperial decree to dispatch troops. Send generals.After that, Xiao visited the frontier fortress in person several times to boost the morale of the frontier generals.

At that time, no one in the whole country knew Empress Xiao.

But it is not a good thing for a woman to be so strong.

Rong Di was repelled, accompanied by rumors and rumors, saying that Empress Xiao of this dynasty was quite like a Tang Dynasty Empress Wu, and might endanger the Datong.

Of course, the first emperor was worse than Tang Gaozong. Not only did he not have the courage to abolish the empress, he didn't even dare to think about it.

The thoughtful one was almost stunned to death by the worthless emperor, but he also understood that the emperor could not count on him, so he had to find another way by himself.

During that year, Xiao Shi was assassinated more than ten times in succession.

The most critical time was when she had just arrived in an important border town, and the soldiers who came to greet her planned to "seeking the emperor's side"!Xiao Shi was almost assassinated on the spot, but fortunately another group of people came to rescue him in time, including a teenage girl who suddenly rushed out and threw Xiao Shi out of Luanjia, avoiding a poisonous arrow.

That little girl was the daughter of a frontier general in another small town. Because she admired the queen's majesty, she sneaked over to see Fengyi's posture, but unexpectedly saved the queen's life.

Xiao Shi was thrown out of the Luanjia and hit the ground heavily, his whole body was in pain, but when he saw the dazed little girl sitting on his stomach, he burst into a "puchi" laugh.

It can also be regarded as a bad relationship.The little girl back then, and now the old Mrs. Lan, actually always felt that the empress pointed herself into the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion to avenge the revenge she had for sitting on her stomach back then. Still an outrageous husband—seeing that the father, son, and brothers in the imperial city were almost turning into black-eyed chickens, I was worried and asked him what to do, but he took two pieces of melon skin to cover his eyes, and danced in the room Caught blind, and yelled "I'm blind, I can't see anything".

... How did you do it at that time?I really want to imitate my daughter-in-law's way of beautifying my face, wrap egg white in rice soup, and mix a little bit of honey, and paste his face, eyes and mouth together, leaving only two nostrils to puff and puff, Bring up a small piece of gooey rice cracker that keeps stirring.

What is pretending to be blind?I am really blind for helping you, thank you!

"What are you thinking about?" It was Xiao's voice, which was still very familiar, but there was a little bit of vicissitudes revealed.It is said that time has no trace, because the traces are left on the face, outlining a series of hills and valleys, and all the glamorous generations have become white hair and goose skin.

Old Madam Lan touched the wrinkles on her face, feeling a little emotional: "I just remembered what happened back then."

Shaking her head, Xiao didn't know whether it was anger or helplessness: "You are also a forgiving person. You are in danger now, and you still have the mind to recall the past."

Mrs. Lan immediately continued with a smile: "It is precisely because of the crisis that I beg you. As long as you are here, I don't have to be afraid of anything. Of course I feel relieved."

Sure enough, it was taken away by Lord Zhen Guogong's simple and thick-faced loach, and he was planning to use the slope to get off the donkey.Mrs. Xiao smiled, and then made an inch, and tilted her body slightly; Mrs. Lan got up immediately, stood behind and held her shoulders.

Xiao Shi squinted her eyes and enjoyed: "It's still comfortable for you to pinch, these little girls in the palace are all as delicate as flowers, and their hands are not strong at all."

The old lady Lan smiled and continued to use her strength.

Xiao closed her eyes and enjoyed it for a while, as if she was about to fall asleep, but suddenly said: "The Ai family also remembers asking you back then, who is right and who is wrong about the 'Qing Jun side' matter?"

At that time, the little girl's voice was crisp and vivid: "Of course they were wrong. Rongdi killed so many of us. Instead of fighting the enemy, they came to kill their own people. How dare they say that they are loyal to the emperor and patriotic!"

The empress at that time couldn't stop laughing, and continued to tease: "But I am a woman. There is a lesson from ancient times, women take the responsibility of men, and they never do meritorious service, but they will plant disasters."

The little girl blinked her eyes, thinking very simply: "Then empress, don't worry about it! It's because you have done what they should do, and they have nothing to do, so they have nothing to do, so why bother?" It’s not good to be tired!”

These two sentences are quite similar to the extremely unreliable "family motto" of the Zhen Guogong's family: take off your clothes when you have done something, and hide your achievements and fame.

Translated into adult words——I won’t give you a chance to kill a donkey, because we are not stupid donkeys!

At that time, Mrs. Xiao had a stomach ache from being seated, and laughed so hard, but she still made a decision: the "Qing Jun's side" made the queen very frightened, and she was sick in bed after returning to the palace. You need to rest for a long time, and you can't be tired.

Since then, Empress Xiao gradually faded out of the court, and did not start to "intervene in politics" again until Yunyi's troubles broke out.

This is probably the first time Xiao admits, quite exhausted: "For Yunyi, Ai's family has done it before. These incidents almost harmed three generations. Fortunately, both Yunshuo and Yunzheng are open-minded. And stay stable. Otherwise, under the Yellow Springs, the Ai family will have no face to go to see the late emperor."

Old Madam Lan was still the same as she was back then: "You didn't miss what you did, it's just a trick of luck."

"It's too late, the Ai family never thought of the phrase 'If you are not deaf or dumb, you will not be a family member'." Xiao suddenly turned to look at Mrs. Lan, "It's still Mr. Zhen who is smart and knows what to arrest and what to let go. "

What should be caught, what should be let go...

Old Madam Lan beat her shoulder with her hands, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, and finally, waited for this sentence.

The royal family can understand her husband's independence and will not settle anything after the court has stabilized.

That's enough, they can deal with the rest of the fight.Old Madam Lan knew very well that Duke Zhen's lineage had always been pure ministers, worthy of heaven and earth, but perhaps they were truly ashamed of the royal family, especially the current sage.

He didn't help him in a clear-cut manner when he was most difficult.

Mrs. Xiao was keenly aware of the change in her mood, and couldn't help joking: "Don't be too quick, the Ai family can't promise you anything. You also know that the Ai family doesn't care about anything now. Apart from eating vegetarian food and reciting Buddha's name, they rely on I'm passing the time for a few little girls, Shuan Shuan Marriage."

"That's why I still have to rely on you to be the matchmaker for Yi Qian. That girl is really worrying me to death. Being taken over by her unreliable grandfather is simply outrageous!"

"The Ai family has done three matches over the years, one is you and Zhen Guogong, it looks pretty good; the other is Nongyue and Ruofan, it makes people feel flustered, and I don't know what will happen in the future; there is another... ..." Yibin and Lin Suzhe don't mention it.

Old Madam Lan knew that something sad was involved, so she quickly changed the topic: "The Chinese Valentine's Day palace banquet is a good opportunity, I hope there will be a few more, and it will be lively if we hold weddings one after another!"

"Hey, happy events can't be held one after another!" Xiao Shi rubbed his temples and smiled, "This year it's the crown prince and the princess, and the inner palace has been almost exhausted. Even if the Ministry of Rites is not short of money, there are not enough people. Ruofan also said that the emperor forbids him to resign now, because the Ministry of Rites sends donkeys to do coolies, and if there is one left, it is worth it!"

"That's just right. Her grandfather would not be willing to keep Yiqian for another two years."

"It's fine to wait for two years, but the Ai family may not have the energy. However, the Crown Princess has practiced for two years, and I think she can do the job. Leave it to her."

Old Madam Lan pursed her lips and smiled, in fact, it doesn't matter two years earlier or later.The Empress Dowager gave half of the matchmaking of her granddaughter to the Crown Princess, which was also to protect the government of Zhen Guo.

The incense of Ningkang Palace is curling up, and behind the veils are the figures.I can't see the face clearly, but I can only see the closeness, it seems that I have returned to decades ago in a trance, Xiao Yibin and the little girl who rescued him back then, with a pen and a weapon, just like Zhen Hualian and Lan Yiqian in the past, for the lonely and solemn The palace brought several cheers and laughter.

The years are lost in the appearance, and the fleeting years are wasted in the hearts of the people.

……

On the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, the Milky Way is shining brightly, and the blue sky is falling, and the people who are decorated with lanterns and colorful people are very clever.

It was almost dusk, at the gate of the palace, incense carriages from various families came in one after another, carrying girls and young wives from each family.

The imperial garden has already set up a banquet, and all kinds of flowers and fruits are served in silver flower saucers, so exquisite that people can't bear to eat them, even if they exude a tempting sweet fragrance.

According to Daiyu's arrangement, Saiqiao's small round table was arranged beside the peach blossom forest, right next to the small lake swaying by lotus flowers.For the convenience of picking lotus pods and lotus seeds, a simple shed and a bamboo bridge were built by the lake. Earlier, some palace people caught the green lotus pods with upturned faces to the edge of the railing, and tied them up pitifully for picking. Pick.Of course, it is also tied with the light-colored zipper, the patterns are complicated and novel, and Qixi Festival shows off its skillful hands. It must be seen by the Weaver Girl in the sky, and the cleverness on the ground is even more immortal!

Everyone went to the banquet first, and they were all snacks. After they had almost eaten, they sat around the lake and began to compete.

Of course Daiyu couldn't participate, no one would want to steal the limelight from the future crown princess, and she didn't want to restrain others.Then she twisted the ivory bone needle and quietly threaded the flowers, and hung the pink string around Li Ying's neck to comfort the little girl who was about to be despised by Mu Fangying to the point of crying.

Li Ying glanced at the string of flowers that Daiyu was wearing, and then looked at her own thin fingers. Looking around, she felt that they were not even called claws compared with others: "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo can not do well……"

Daiyu poked at her puffy face, smiled and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, there is County Lord Mu, right?"

"Yeah, yeah, there's me!" Mu Fangying sighed helplessly, but her hands were still spinning quickly, "Don't cry, go and pick some more peaches for me, I'll follow the instructions Only then can we embroider."

Li Ying quickly went obediently, Daiyu smiled at Mu Fangying: "It's not easy for you."

Finally someone sympathized with her, Mu Fangying almost rushed to her and burst into tears.It's really not easy for her, since she has to help Li Xiaoxian to do it, but she can't just stand around and watch, she's almost like a nanny with a baby!

Daiyu smiled "噗" with Paizi, and was even more fortunate. Fortunately, Lan Yiqian was so popular that a group of people had pulled her to help her arrange, otherwise she would also worry about it.Because the little princess ran away long ago, so I threw the whole head to her!

Many young wives were also invited to this palace banquet, including of course the wife of the eldest son of Dingyuan Houfu. Of course, Nongyue is going to visit her sister to play!

The author has something to say: I overslept, I'm sorry it's too late, let me beat you! !

Duke Zhen: A loach with a thick face?Wife, am I that ugly?

Old Madam Lan: I have already prepared honey rice milk and egg soup (?), for your beauty, good boy, come here and apply it on your face!

Lord Zhen Guo: QAQ~

One day it was rare to see Lan Yiqian "beautifying"——

Daiyu: Scary, what is this, medicine?

Nongyue: There are ghosts!

Zhen Hualian [Apiao State]: Can the princess see me?Cough cough, that's not right... Did Lan'er forget all the beauty recipes I taught back then!
