[Red Mansion Qing Chuan] Lin Siye Marries a Daughter

Daiyu said lightly: "Concubine Wan has won the award." Zhaoyang said from the side: "I said when I was in Yangzhou that you two have their own merits, and now I still say that, but seeing you, I feel I am really old."

"No one in the palace would say that the Eldest Princess is as beautiful as before. Last time, even the Empress Dowager said, is God favoring the Eldest Princess? She is still the same after so many years." Li Wanmei's voice was natural, her expression calm, and she said what seemed to be flattering, There is no place that is not comfortable.

Zhao Yang said with a smile: "Wan Concubine's mouth coaxes the Empress Dowager to ask, 'Why didn't that Wan girl come today? Is she sick?' but Nanny Zhong in front of the Empress Dowager would even say: 'I'm making Yangzhou fruit cake for the Queen Mother.'"

Li Wanmei smiled and said: "The eldest princess, don't make fun of Wan Mei. This sentence has become a joke now. Sometimes when I go to pay my respects to the Queen Mother, I will mention it."

Zhaoyang said slowly: "Although this is good, don't make it too public. In this harem, how many pairs of eyes are staring at you. You are a smart child. You have often come to talk with me this year. How many times do I Say something like, 'If a tree is beautiful in the forest, the wind will destroy it; if it is piled up on the shore, the current will be turbulent; if it moves higher than others, the crowd will blame it', you can do it yourself."

"Thank you, Eldest Princess, for reminding me." Li Wanmei bowed her body solemnly, "Wan Mei understands." Zhaoyang smiled lightly, "Okay, don't be so serious, let Miss Lin think that I am an Eldest Princess eccentric."

Looking at Daiyu, Zhaoyang said to Li Wanmei: "Concubine Lin, Miss Lin has just entered the palace, you should take care of anything. As the saying goes, 'a distant relative is worse than a close neighbor', in Yangzhou you are truly close neighbors."

Li Wanmei smiled and took Daiyu's hand: "Don't worry, eldest princess, it's rare to meet Miss Lin again in the palace, we are too happy to be happy."

Although she also smiled slightly, but Daiyu knew in her heart that Li Wanmei was far less close than Li Wanxin.

Nanny Yu came in and said a few words to Zhaoyang in a low voice, Zhaoyang turned to the two of them and said, "You two haven't seen each other for a long time, let's talk first, the queen mother wants something, I'll go and find it .”

The room fell silent, Daiyu raised her eyes to look at Li Wanmei, and found that she was also looking at her, she couldn't help smiling: "Wan Xin is okay, I planned to go play with her, but now..."

Li Wanmei said decently: "The last time Wan Xin entered the palace, she still talked about the girl. When she enters the palace next time, I will send someone to invite the girl." Daiyu nodded: "Okay, it's been more than a year now. When I think of the time in Yangzhou, it seems to be right in front of my eyes.”

"That's right." Li Wanmei sighed lightly, but looked towards the courtyard: "The days go by so fast, it's been almost two years since I entered the palace, I thought..."

Without going on, Li Wanmei glanced at Daiyu quietly: "I remember that the girl seems to be one year older than Wanxin." Although Daiyu didn't understand why Li Wanmei would ask this, she still nodded: "Yes."

"Sure enough..." "Aunt Huang, Fourth Cousin." Before Li Wanmei finished speaking, she was interrupted by Yining who hurried into the room: "Hey, why aren't you here?"

Li Wanmei stood up courteously: "The eldest princess is looking for something inside, the princess might as well wait a bit." It seemed that Yining saw Daiyu and the two: "Why are you here?"

Li Wanmei said: "Could it be that the princess is only allowed to see the eldest princess, and we are not allowed to come?" Before Yining could react, Li Wanmei smiled softly: "You are joking with the princess, the one was at the queen mother's place yesterday, and the eldest princess said the yard The pear blossoms are all in bloom, so the princess is here to see the flowers, too."

Yining glanced at Li Guanmei and Daiyu: "I heard from the maid of Compassion Ning Palace that my fourth cousin is here, I have something to ask him."

"My lord." Li Wan's eyebrows turned, she glanced at Daiyu, and said to Yining: "I didn't see my lord when I came here, Miss Lin came early, maybe I have."

Yijing looked at Daiyu calmly. It was the first time she entered the palace today. Daiyu didn't want to be too conspicuous, so it was just a moon-white long dress, with only a few plum blossoms outlined in the color of lotus root on the collar and cuffs. , Elegant as orchid.

For some reason, looking at Daiyu walking down from an ink painting, a sentence suddenly popped up in Yining's mind: "Qingqing Lingling, delicate and weak, like a flower shining in water, like a wind blowing willow."

"Miss Lin met fourth cousin just now?" Seeing Daiyu's silence, Yining's big eyes showed a little indescribable look: "It's Prince Chu."

What kind of person is Yinzhen? Before Daiyu entered the palace, Zhu Ling and Lei Momo made the harem so big that there were several concubines, and as small as a nanny and female history. Everyone who knew about it had been told to Daiyu, Therefore, Daiyu is naturally well aware of the relationship between the prince, princess and princess.

The reason why Daiyu didn't make a sound just now was because she was thinking about how to answer, when she saw Yining talking, she said: "It is true that Prince Chu came just now, but he left soon."

Yining said eagerly: "He said everything." Daiyu laughed at herself: "Princess, the princess should ask the eldest princess about these things, I am not familiar with the prince, even if he has something to say, he will not tell me .”

Glancing at Daiyu, Yining said to himself, "That's right, you just came to Beijing, hey, why hasn't Aunt Huang come out yet."

On the other side, Li Wanmei pursed her lips and smiled, and walked over slowly: "Miss Lin, when he was in Yangzhou, the lord visited your mansion, and when he left Yangzhou, we saw him off together. I'm sorry, I remember when I entered the palace, I talked about Yangzhou with the lord, and I even mentioned you, the lord respected you very much."

Daiyu said indifferently: "That's the prince's talk, how can someone as smart as Concubine Wan not understand it?" Li Wanmei smiled and said: "Yangzhou's water beauty is beautiful, although it is a show talk, but it can be praised by the prince. People are happy, Miss Lin said, right?"

Sensing a pair of eyes staring at her, Daiyu said calmly: "Yangzhou water beauty is beautiful, who doesn't know that is a compliment..."

"Yining, why are you here?" Zhaoyang came out: "Why are you standing up? Could it be that I think the tea in Zhaoyang Palace is not good?" Li Wanmei hurriedly said: "Just now the Princess came in and asked the Eldest Princess for something ,so we……"

Zhaoyang turned to look at Yining: "Yining, what's the matter."

"Auntie Huang, I just heard from Cousin Naji that Fourth Cousin is leaving Beijing for business."

Nodding, Zhaoyang said: "Yes, do you want Yifeng to bring you something strange again, Yining, it's not that I, an aunt, are talking about you. With so many thoughts, I will choose which one for you, and you will grow up to be a big girl, so you have to learn to be considerate of others."

"I didn't think so." Yining said aggrievedly: "I just came here to have a look, didn't I mean that he will leave tomorrow." Li Wanmei said understandingly: "Maybe the eldest princess misunderstood, the princess is also concerned about the prince. It's coming, isn't it?"

It's rare for someone to understand her thoughts, Yining smiled gratefully at Li Wanmei: "What Concubine Wan said is, I just came to take a look."

"Silly girl, it seems that I misunderstood you just now." Zhaoyang has an easy-going and hearty personality, without the airs of a princess at all: "I have already told Yifeng, this time you are not allowed to come back with an injury."

For some reason, seeing Zhaoyang's natural concern, Daiyu actually felt warm in her heart. Although Ning Chu didn't have a mother, she had Zhaoyang's love in this cold palace, which could be regarded as a kind of compensation .

"Miss Lin, what are you looking at." Came back to her senses, Daiyu smiled slightly at Li Wanmei: "It's nothing, I suddenly remembered something about Yangzhou, the eldest princess is really an admirable person."

Zhaoyang smiled and said: "What's the matter with you girls today, your mouths look like you have smeared honey." Daiyu smiled Yanyan: "Isn't there a word called 'Three people become a tiger', we all like that. Said, the eldest princess will naturally do her part."

Zhaoyang smiled brightly: "As expected of a girl from Jiangnan, not only is she good-looking, but she also speaks nicely. It's just a concubine Wan, and now there is another one. It seems that my future life will be lively."

A court lady came in and said to Daiyu: "Miss Lin, the fifth princess, please come over." Daiyu apologized to Zhaoyang, and just about to leave, she heard Yining say: "Sister Lin, you and I Let's go back together."

Daiyu who called "Sister Lin" couldn't help turning her head, and looked at Yining suspiciously: "Princess, Daiyu can't bear this call." Yining stepped forward disapprovingly: "Sister Lin, you are welcome, you Older than me, it's only natural for me to call my sister."

Turning around, Yining said to Zhaoyang: "Auntie Huang, I'm leaving too." After saying that, he took Daiyu's hand and left without any explanation, which made Zhaoyang startled: "Yining, girl, what are you thinking about?" Woolen cloth."

Li Wanmei smiled softly: "Perhaps Miss Lin is attractive, and even the princess finds it interesting. Wouldn't it be better that way, and they will get along well when they are together in the future."

"I hope so, alas," Zhaoyang sighed helplessly: "These children are all worried, one maple is enough for each one, but there is also Dong boy, Yi Ning."

"Eldest princess, there is a saying that 'children and grandchildren have their own blessings', the prince, your highness, and the princess are all dragons and phoenixes, so the eldest princess does not have to worry."

Zhaoyang smiled: "If they are all like Concubine Wan, I really don't have to worry about it."

After leaving Zhaoyang Palace, Yining turned his head to the side, looked at Daiyu, and said with a slight smile, "Sister Lin, are you familiar with Concubine Wan?" After thinking for a while, Daiyu said: "When I was in Yangzhou before, We have played before, but I am more familiar with Wanbi's younger sister, and the princess asked what these things are for."

Yining's eyes turned: "It's nothing, I just remembered what Wanbi said just now." Turning around, Yining said quietly: "Sister Lin, you don't know, at the beginning Wanbi was going to marry Sibiao Brother, I don’t know why, but I became a concubine... I thought you were familiar with it, and maybe you knew the reason.”

Daiyu laughed at herself and said: "The princess asked the wrong person." "Really." Yining smiled slightly, the dimples on his cheeks looming: "I thought I found the right person. Sister Lin and Sibiao I know you well, and I'm old friends with Wan-pin, so I'll naturally know something about them."

"I think the princess may have misunderstood. I have only met Prince Chu a few times, so we are not acquainted. As for Concubine Wan, I just said that I may be more familiar with her sister." Keeping Lin Hai's words in mind, Daiyu replied calmly and detachedly.

There was a gentle smile on Yining's thin face: "Sister Lin, don't be angry, I just asked casually, by the way, there is a pool with a lot of fish in the sixth princess's place, after dinner, we Go fishing."

"I just came to the palace, and I'm not familiar with anything. I want to ask the mother in the room. I'm afraid I will disappoint the princess' kindness." Daiyu looked at Yining with embarrassment: "When there is a chance in the future , I must go and see."

Yining smiled indifferently: "It's okay, the days to come will be long, let's play again."

Unknowingly, Daiyu has been in the palace for more than ten days, bearing in mind Lin Hai and Lei Momo's instructions, Daiyu lives in seclusion, except for reading with a few princesses, most of the time stays in the room every day, or goes to Zhaoyang Palace to see look.

Yining seems to be getting closer and closer to Daiyu, and often comes to play with Daiyu. Daiyu has a degree of intimacy, neither humble nor overbearing, which makes Yining feel guilty. Only Naji is still the same. Every time she meets Daiyu, she hates her Uneven look.

The daylight was blocked by the high palace walls, and the gardenias blooming in the yard exuded a faint fragrance. Daiyu and the maid Yan'er beside her were picking up some petals for drying in the morning, when a nun came over and said, "Lin Maid, Concubine Jia invites the young lady to come over."

In response, Daiyu said: "Please wait a moment, mammy, I'll clean up." The mammy smiled and said: "Miss, you're welcome, I'll just wait."

Zijuan has been suffering from cold for the past two days. When she heard that she was going to Fengzao Palace, she struggled to get up to accompany her. Daiyu stopped her: "You can rest in the room and let Yan'er follow. Besides, it's not anywhere else. , Your Majesty, what can happen if you look at the Buddha's face instead of the monk's face."

When I came to Fengzao Palace to meet Yuan Chun, I casually asked a few words about Daiyu's situation in the palace, and Yuan Chun said: "Tomorrow, the old lady and the wife will enter the palace. My sister will come to see you after studying with the princesses. Back then, my sister was here. When she was living in the mansion, the old lady treated her younger sister as no outsider and often mentioned it in front of me."

Daiyu said softly: "Daiyu knows, she will definitely come tomorrow." Yuan Chun lifted up the handkerchief and wiped the corner of his mouth: "I have been in the palace for more than ten days, and I also know that my sister is a smart person. , no matter what happens in the palace, don't try to be brave, everyone in the harem is not an idler, sister be careful."

As soon as Daiyu responded, she saw Baoqin coming out with a delicate small pot: "Miss Lin, this is a gift from the empress." Before Daiyu could ask, Yuan Chun said flatly: "This is the house of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Sent over watermelon juice, now that spring is sleepy and the heart is dry, it is for the masters of the palaces to relieve dryness and refresh the mind, this palace is a bit timid these days, you can take it back and drink it."

After thanking her, Daiyu asked Yan'er to take it and said a few more words before leaving.

The sky had already darkened, Daiyu and Yan'er had just walked through the woods next to the rockery, when suddenly there was a rush of hurried footsteps, before Yan'er could dodge, she saw a maid abducting her, and the two of them bumped into each other place.

She bowed her head and said "Ouch", Yan'er complained: "How did you walk, you didn't even look at it." The maid seemed to be in a daze, and kept saying: "I didn't see it, I didn't see it."

Although Yan'er is usually gentle, she is not the one to be bullied: "My girl and I are two big living people standing here, how could you not see it, besides, it was me who bumped into me, if you bump into a girl, you have to worry about it." Can you afford it?"

"Don't kill me, I really didn't see it, I didn't see anything." The court lady shrank back, still kept saying.

After glancing at Daiyu, Yan'er whispered, "Miss, is she..."

Daiyu shook her head and said: "I remember that she seems to be from the Palace of the Seventh Princess, and she showed me the way that time, you just greet her lightly, she may be scared and a little dazed."

Yan'er cautiously stepped forward to pat the palace lady, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, no one here will kill you." Looking at the two blankly, the palace lady's eyes gradually became brighter, she suddenly understood, and couldn't help crying up.

Yan'er smiled wryly: "Girl, it's been so long since we've been out, why don't we go back first, she can do whatever she likes." Thinking of Lin Hai's instructions, Daiyu didn't make a sound, and left first.

"Girl, please help me, I...I won't survive tonight." The maid said tremblingly: "I just saw something I shouldn't have seen, and they won't let me go."

Without turning around, Daiyu stopped slowly, and after a while said in a low voice: "I can't do anything about this matter, please ask yourself."

The palace lady seemed unwilling, and also seemed a little hysterical: "This is none of my business at all, and I didn't expect it to be like this. The Seventh Princess asked me to deliver things to the empress. I passed by the Hongxuan Pavilion and saw the surrounding quiet , I wanted to sit down and rest for a while, but unexpectedly I saw Prince Ji and Concubine Jiang..."

Covering the maid's mouth, Yan'er whispered: "You are crazy, don't you want to implicate us too." Shaking her head in rebellion, the maid broke away from Yan'er's hand and said loudly: "I'm just crazy , anyway, I can’t survive tomorrow, it’s the same if there is one more or one less, I just want to say..."

Seeing that the maid was still yelling, Daiyu didn't feel a little anxious, she looked at Yan'er, only heard a "pop", the maid stayed there for a while, staring at Daiyu and Yan'er in a daze, and caressed Yan'er in disbelief. caress the cheek.

Yan'er had been in the palace for a long time, so she naturally understood that the matter was of great importance. This palace lady wanted to die together, which made Yan'er angry. slap.

Although she didn't expect Yan'er to stop her like this, the situation in front of her did not allow Daiyu to look forward and backward. Looking at the maid who hadn't reacted yet, Daiyu said in a low voice: "If you want to die now, then go jump into the lake , Yan'er and I will never stop you, if you don't want to die, then act as if you didn't see anything, and go back to the Seventh Princess, maybe you still have a chance."

Seeing the maid's silence, Daiyu couldn't help but coldly said, "None of us heard what you said just now, you just did it yourself, and you asked for this slap, don't think we just Entering the palace, easy to talk, you can let others bully you."

In fact, at the beginning, Daiyu felt a little pity for this maid, but Daiyu also knew that this was the imperial palace, and she had no ability to help others by herself as a companion, and it was also involved in the secret affairs of the palace, and she might die if she was not careful, so talent……

I don't want this court lady to be very selfish, and she has a lot of thoughts of not giving up, she keeps yelling loudly, forcing Daiyu and Yan'er...

Secretly shaking her own hand, Daiyu smiled bitterly at herself, it seems that in this palace, there is nothing you can't run into, even if you want to avoid it, you can't avoid it.
