[Red Chamber] Daiyu Reborn

The girls of the county master were laughing and making noise, but they suddenly heard a rigid summon from the side: "County Master Lin, the Empress Dowager invites you to Ningkang Palace."

——Empress Dowager?

The person who came was a majestic palace lady, her clothes and waist badge were of the fourth grade, she was really the only one among the palace people in the hall full of flowers.

The maid left behind by Princess Roulan was full of doubts, and Daiyu's embroidered eyebrows, which had not yet been stretched, frowned even tighter.It's not like "taking someone", but it's not like "calling someone" either.Strange, the Empress Dowager should be talking "homely things" to the Yun family, so why would she be called over suddenly?Even if you want to call it, it should be by the name of aunt or Nongyue.

Also, she doesn't know this court lady, nor does Aunt Roulan know anyone.Afterwards, he didn't follow any other palace servants, and just stood there abruptly, abruptly and unreasonably.

Seeing her motionless appearance, the big maid frowned and wanted to urge her again.Daiyu had already made a decision, she leaned slightly towards Li Ying's direction, and under the cover of Li Ying's body, she leaned towards the small porcelain cup on the table without a trace—with a "bang", the porcelain cup suddenly fell to the ground and shattered. In white petals, the honey-colored tea and tea fruits of various colors splashed on the skirts of the three county heads.

Daiyu couldn't help being surprised, she didn't touch the tea bowl just now.

"Ah!" It was Mu Fangying who yelled, blushing, "I'm sorry, I accidentally knocked over the teacup! This, this... oh, what can I do with this skirt?"

Daiyu, Li Ying and Mu Fangying's Ququn or Ruqun are all light-colored, and underneath are clear muslin skirts with some tassels, which are stained with tea stains by the splash of tea, which is ugly. very.

The maid left behind by Princess Roulan took the opportunity to come over and hurried over to help the three county lords wipe their clothes, and then pointed to the Nuan Pavilion behind the flower hall: "Don't worry, county lord, the flower hall is cold and hot, and sweating is the most prone to sweating outside. It’s so big, the Shangyi Bureau has already prepared warm clothes for everyone, so hurry up and change.” Then he apologized to the big maid who had never seen her before, “Please trouble aunt, wait a minute, County Lord Lin has changed his clothes and left. Please take care of me, auntie."

Seeing that the three county lords were about to be taken to the Nuan Pavilion, the grand maid seemed anxious and wanted to stop her again, but unexpectedly, a clear and cold figure approached, and Xu Tan stood in front of her expressionlessly , stretched out his hand, and said unceremoniously, "If you want to go there, 1000 taels."

The palace lady froze completely, and outside the flower hall, while Daiyu was going to change clothes, someone had already gone to Ningkang Palace to "confirm" - if the Empress Dowager really asked Daiyu to come over, she could explain it in advance.

Because there is a Supreme Emperor, Yun Shuo, the poor emperor, has never really fully controlled the palace for so many years.It's not that he doesn't want to, but that many things affect the whole body, so it's better to maintain a delicate balance.

It is indispensable to be defensive, and it is really difficult to guard against backstabs, so we can only prepare in advance.This time when she entered the palace, Princess Roulan prepared three sets of clothes and three different sets of jewelry for Daiyu in advance, just to avoid making a fuss "suddenly".

Not only Daiyu had clothes to change, but Mu Fangying also had them. After a maid quietly sent them to the Nuan Pavilion, Mu Fangying smiled and took a small and exquisite package.

It's just that Li Ying is a bit pitiful, and can only wear the ones prepared by the Shangyi Bureau in advance, which are all made by the inner palace, which is not shabby, and will not lower the status of the county lord at all.That is, the clothes prepared by Shangyi Bureau are pink, and Li Ying is wearing emerald jewelry, red and green, which is too ugly.

Li Ying was so anxious that she wanted to cry. It's not that there is no need to change jewelry, but the most eye-catching drop-shaped jadeite pendant is a birthday present given to her by Concubine Nan'an.

The teacup was lifted by Mu Fangying, the instigator was very guilty, and hurriedly wanted to redeem it: "Why don't you quickly make a simple tie, embed this pendant on your wrist, and cover it with your sleeve, so you can't see clearly. "

"No, grandma will definitely scold me!" Li Ying's eyes were full of steam, if the jewelry that grandma admired herself was hidden in her sleeve, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of grandma!

——Daiyu is too thin, even if there are spare clothes, Li Ying can't wear them; it's not realistic to go to the Shangyi Bureau to borrow again now, the clothes of the county magistrate have rules, and it's not easy to put together a whole set.

Daiyu also felt sorry for Li Ying, she was the one who most wanted to lift the teacup to avoid trouble just now - at that time, the three girls stood together, no matter who made the move, it was hard not to implicate Li Ying .

The pink jacket and skirt paired with such a big emerald pendant seemed dazzling, but what Mu Fangying said just now... tie the net and embed the emerald in it?

Daiyu thought for a while, picked up her purse, and pulled out seventeen or eighteen tassel pendants of different colors. She pulled out the threads one by one with her nimble and slender fingers, and quickly matched a bunch of gradient colors. Comparing Li Ying's pink breasts, and then pressing the jadeite pendant upward, the strong color difference is suppressed, and it is no longer so irritating to the eyes.

Li Ying only knew a thing or two about the color matching of embroidery, and Daiyu didn't expect her to be able to do a good job of gradient color, so she gave half of it to Mu Fangying, and glanced at her: "Just do the simplest one, and we can do it together." Hurry up!"

Daiyu could see that Mu Fangying had the intention of testing her, just like when she saw Baochai for the first time in her previous life, her pupils were evenly matched—it was her turn to try if she came and went without being rude. once?

Mu Fangying didn't hesitate, took over the work, and started to do it quickly - Li Ying sat on the soft couch in the warm pavilion, like a little squirrel waiting to eat, with star eyes shining, watching Two skillful girls quickly weaved a beautiful webbing, and Daiyu also put two light-colored tassels on her head, and then tied it around Li Ying's waist, swinging left and right, agile The emerald is like a cat's eye, so beautiful.

It was done very quickly, in less than half a quarter, and there was no one outside to urge it.Daiyu knew in her heart that the person who was looking for her at the wrong time just now must not be the Empress Dowager.

"It's so beautiful, I'm going to show it to my grandma in a while!" Li Ying's personality is a bit like Xiangyun's imagination, she is anxious and forgets faster, remembering to eat but not to fight.

Thinking of Xiangyun who was still in the princess mansion, Daiyu sighed helplessly, but Mu Fangying reminded with a smile: "Go out, it's time for the banquet, don't be too late."

The three county lords left the Nuan Pavilion, and the strange lady-in-waiting was gone. The people who had been guarding the Nuan Pavilion quietly signaled to Daiyu: It's all right, but I don't know who faked the empress dowager's oral order.

The most important thing about the New Year's banquet is that it is fun and harmonious. It doesn't make sense to investigate the case for a county magistrate. I have to investigate slowly after I have to. Daiyu nodded without any trace, indicating that she knows... she will be more careful.

Suddenly there was an exclamation from the other side of the flower hall, and the three of them hurried over and saw a strange scene: on top of the delicate ice sculpture, a night pearl was supported on the icicle, the light was soft, reflecting the ice sculpture in brilliance , Bingzhu and Bingmei are as if they have got their souls, which is even more soul-stirring.

Li Ying held her face and exclaimed: "This night pearl is so beautiful!"

Xu Tan's cold voice came: "The luster is soft and free of impurities. This luminous pearl is worth at least 8 taels."

The cold water is splashing, the beautiful scenery over there is picturesque and fairy-like, and the judgment here is really gold and silver, which is really a sight.Daiyu couldn't help but think that if she was still the exquisite self in her previous life, she would have to cry hard for this poor ice sculpture.

Mu Fangying held on to the railing to prevent herself from laughing, but Xu Tan was still thinking about it: "I don't know if this bead will be sold or not."

Suddenly a smiling reply came from the side: "I'm sorry, this luminous pearl has been dedicated to the emperor, so it can't be sold anymore."

It turned out to be a male voice, all the girls couldn't help being surprised, they hurriedly looked over, the person who came was handsome and handsome, he was extremely outstanding, and he made the already dim person next to him completely disappear - that poor background person He had no choice but to speak, showing that he was still alive: "Masters of the county, this is Prince Zhongshun."

"Under Yungui, I'm really sorry for scaring some girls." Yungui, the prince of Zhongshun, was personable, without putting on the airs of the royal family at all, smiling with a sense of intimacy.

Several girls greeted the prince's son, and also knew the identity of the man with a bleak background: Mu Ming, the son of the Prince of Dongping, and the elder brother of Mu Fangying.

Yun Gui moved half of her body away, and made a chic request: "The banquet has been set in the imperial garden." The implication of the words: Several county lords, this way please.

You can't let the royals wait for you, and the girls hurry over.While preparing, Daiyu felt rather strange: it doesn't make sense, let a prince's son, who is still an elder, come and invite some girls to the banquet in person.

Yun Gui didn't show any traces, or she was really open and frank, she rolled up her sleeves and hurried to the banquet.Although he is of the same generation as the emperor, this Zhongshun Palace, since his father, has been more "quietly looking at the clouds and wild cranes" than the Beijing Palace - Yun Luo is the son of the Empress Dowager, who was raised as a prince since childhood ;His father is just the youngest son of an ordinary concubine, or a disobedient son who is proficient in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, how can he compare.

Of course, the prince and the county king who came to Beijing this time, which one is not the "Idle King"?

It is said that the banquet is given "together", but the royal family ranks first, and there are also concubines in the harem, concubines and concubines, and even a few of the same generation as the empress dowager... the harem alone occupies a lot Seats, not to mention having to take care of the four county kings in the east, west, north, and south—except for the Nan'an County King who has a leg problem, all of them have come.In short, when they were seated as the head of the county, they almost went to the imperial garden.

That's fine, it's quiet, and I can eat with peace of mind.But apart from the messy etiquette of the palace banquet, the most terrible thing is that there is not enough to eat!

My aunt ordered someone to put some snacks in the carriage so that they could be eaten later; even if it was unfortunate that Nongyue carried them over again, Qinfangyuan's snacks would still be enough. Who doesn't know that the eldest princess is a greedy cat?

Thinking like this, Daiyu watched Xu Tan eat, looking so dignified that it was almost gorgeous.It's hard to imagine that with seven or eight gold bracelets around her wrists, she never touched the porcelain bowls or cups, and made no sound at all.

Mu Fangying was also quietly looking at Daiyu, a skinny little beauty, she was clearly eating, but she had a feeling of otherworldly things, like a fairy falling from the sky, it was pleasing to the eye.No wonder... the crown prince would like this.

Li Ying had a little bitter gourd face, she looked hungry, but how could the food on the table make people feel full?

Fortunately, there was someone who was "understanding". A group of young eunuchs came over with a food box, and said with a smile, "This is a new snack made by the imperial dining room. The eldest princess ordered someone to bring it for the county heads to taste."

On the side is a small butterfly-shaped plate, divided into four petals, a piece of cheese cake, a piece of butterfly roll, a piece of pea yellow, and a piece of mung bean cake, all kinds of colors, exquisite, small and cute.

Finally, there is no need to blow the cold wind on a hungry stomach, and all the girls are very happy, but Daiyu feels helpless—her snacks have been mixed with private goods, and she opened the butterfly roll slightly with chopsticks, and she saw a "princess oral order". The string-like characters embellished with bean paste are really difficult for the cooks: don't run away later!

Daiyu sighed "resentment" in her heart, and quickly ate the butterfly roll.The freshly steamed dim sum is hot, the filling is sweet and delicious.

The author has something to say: Yingmei is of Baochai type, Yingmei is of Xiangyun type, and Tanmei is of Beijing Jingwang type—the kind that mortals have communication barriers with her~
