Continuing the Fate of the Red Mansion and Jade Water

After leaving, Daiyu stopped him and said, "This guest came here for you today, let's go in and have a look together?"

Shui Yi immediately realized that he was someone who wanted to recommend his daughter to the Queen Mother. Now that he understood, he would not go in. He shook his head and was about to leave, but almost bumped into the ice lake. Shui Yi turned his head and begged for mercy: "Sister-in-law, According to Buddhist precepts, you can't get close to women."

"You are not a real monk, and your hair has grown so long. Besides, you are just greeting the queen mother in front of outsiders. A dignified prince is so timid. How will you go to battle to kill the enemy in the future? Xueyan, pass it on, imperial concubine He Yi Wangye came to pay his respects."

"sister in law……"

Daiyu turned her head and walked inward, Shui Yi had no choice but to follow, wondering why her sister-in-law insisted so much, the two entered the inner hall one after the other, greeted the Queen Mother together, glanced at the kneeling Seeing the shy smile on her face, Zhu Furong didn't dare to raise her head, but secretly aimed her eyes at the direction of the overflowing water.

In order to avoid Mrs. Zhu Guogong's big gift, Fu Rong took a few steps forward and squatted in front of Shui Yi, saying: "Fu Rong pays tribute to Prince Yi."

Because the queen mother was anxious about his marriage, she was looking for a suitable lady everywhere. Shui Yi had long been used to the gazes of many women. Some girls were beautiful, but they were pampered and lawless since childhood. The reserve is gone, just like the one in front of you.

"Seniors and youngsters are orderly, and there is no distinction between seniority and inferiority. Miss Zhu should pay her respects to the imperial concubine first."

Hearing this cold voice, Furong felt that she was about to turn cold. I heard that Prince Yi grew up in a monastery and had never been close to women. When he returned to the capital this time, the Queen Mother wanted to marry a princess for him. In his heart, Princess Yi's status is too attractive. She and her grandmother have been to Beijing, Nan'an, Xining and other palaces.

His voice was cold, people should not be so cold, Furong turned to greet Daiyu, Daiyu smiled and said: "Miss Zhu, please get up."

This voice is so familiar, Furong raised her head quietly, and Daiyu was waiting there, not surprised to see her surprised face, Furong stretched out her finger to point at Daiyu, and asked stammeringly: "Are you sure?" Is it the imperial concubine?"

Mrs. Zhu Guogong saw that her granddaughter was being rude, so she hurriedly said: "It's really rude, please apologize to the imperial concubine." Daiyu smiled and said it's okay, and told her to get up and talk.

The Empress Dowager heard that her voice was not right, and hinted that Daiyu was coming to speak, and Daiyu hurriedly came to her, and the Empress Dowager asked, "Have you met?"

"I just met in the Royal Garden."

The queen mother watched the interaction between Fu Rong and Shui Yi. Fu Rong's eyes were hot, but Shui Yi didn't even look at him, and refused to sit down, so he left. Seeing that Shui Yi was about to leave, Fu Rong caught up with him , handed over the purse in his hand, and said: "I embroidered this by myself, don't dislike it, my lord."

"Meeting by chance, how can I accept such a gift, Miss Zhu, please respect yourself." Shui Yi strode out.

Furong was rejected face to face by him, she almost shed tears of embarrassment, turned around and stood beside Mrs. Zhu Guogong, Daiyu also felt pitiful seeing her, but it was better to be rejected like this than to have a dream in her heart, at least she would not do it again Thinking about marrying Yi's dream, it's not wrong to have a dream in your heart, if you have another man in your heart, it will be very sad to marry someone else in this life.It's better to let her die from now on and choose another good match.

After talking for a while, Mrs. Zhu Guogong took Fu Rong to leave, and Daiyu got up to see her off in person. Mrs. Zhu Guogong even said that she didn't dare.

"What's the matter? If you want to blame you, you have already been punished in the Royal Garden just now. How does Miss Zhu feel when she saw Prince Shuiyi?"

Seeing that there were no outsiders around, Furong said in a low voice: "Thank you, Madam, for fulfilling Furong's wish. Madam, please don't mind Furong's words. The prince is good, but if you marry such a cold person, this life will be boring enough. When can I warm my cold heart? I think it’s better to give up.”

Hearing these words, Daiyu looked at her differently, seeing that she was not too old, but she was thinking very long-term and very realistic, knowing that she was thinking about her own future, this is the behavior of a smart person, looking at her When she thought about Tanchun again, the gap was really not that big.

"If you have a husband's family, send a message to the palace, and the palace will prepare a dowry for you."

After Furong heard this, she knelt down and kowtowed to thank her. Mrs. Zhu Guogong also heard it not far away, and hurriedly came to thank her. Daiyu watched the grandparents leave and returned to the Queen Mother. When the Queen Mother saw her coming back, she said: "The queen mother doesn't like this girl, she's too spoiled. The queen mother observes carefully, and Shui Yi doesn't seem to be interested in her. What does Yu'er think?"

"Yu'er doesn't like it too much."

"But why did Shui Yi come at this time?"

"It was Yu'er who forced him to come together." Looking at the Queen Mother's inquiring eyes, Daiyu explained: "Yu'er can see that although Furong has never seen Yi, she has always yearned for it in her heart, because she thinks that if she is kept Caring about it will be detrimental to her life, so it's better to let Yi meet her, if Yi likes her, the queen mother and I will be perfect, if you don't like her, don't delay, it's better."

The queen mother immediately understood that Daiyu still had the shadow of Tanchun's incident in her heart, and she wanted to comfort her a few words, but then she thought it would be better to never bring up this incident again.The queen mother asked: "The queen mother heard from Hong'er that the servant who can reveal the past is about to arrive in the capital. What do you want to do when the time comes? When you think of this, the queen mother loves you very much. You have to be stronger."

As soon as the Queen Mother mentioned being strong, Daiyu couldn't help but shed tears. She hurriedly wiped away the tears, and said with a smile on her face again: "Yu'er doesn't want to have more entanglements with her grandmother. When Madam Zhang is escorted to the capital, she will go back to Beijing." Interrogate her first, as long as she makes a confession, and then there is a confession from my aunt and Jiao Da, or a three-court confrontation, my grandmother can't deny it even if she wants to."

"It's best to have convincing evidence. My mother has been thinking about this for a while, and I'm afraid that you will soften your heart again. You and Jia Taijun have lived together for nine years, and you have feelings."

"Yu'er won't." Daiyu said firmly.

Because of her younger brother’s death, her parents passed away one after another, making herself an orphan girl, she was bullied by others, it’s fine if she didn’t know about it, if she knew about it and then ignored her, wouldn’t she be the most unfilial daughter of Tianyi? During this period, she suffered so much grievance in Jia's house, did her grandmother treat her sincerely?In her heart, I am afraid that money and status are more important.

When Shuihong came back in the evening, Daiyu came in with a smile and took his hand and said: "I think it's better for Yi to marry a princess soon. Since Yi returned to Beijing, the threshold of Cishou Palace was almost leveled by these wives. The queen mother saw these people in the sky, and she seemed very tired, and she couldn't even take a good rest."

"Yi said that he was dragged by you to greet his mother today. He said that when he saw you smiling, he felt that something was wrong and wanted to run away. It's just that the elder sister-in-law is like a mother and cannot be disobedient. He also said that you did it on purpose."

"I did it on purpose." Daiyu nodded, relaying clearly what happened in Cishou Palace during the day, and finally said: "Although Yi didn't understand what I did, it made me feel at ease. There is nothing to lose, and the lady wants to give him a purse embroidered by herself, but he didn't pay attention to it himself."

Shuihong straightened Daiyu's body, and asked, "Has the matter of Jia Tanchun left a shadow in your heart? If you really feel sorry for her, then let her die according to your wishes. I don't want you to always worry about her." It's just taking advantage of her."

"After a long time, it will gradually fade away. I think about it from a different angle, and I can already understand your thoughts. When my younger brother died, my mother was in great pain. Even though I was young at that time, I could also feel the sorrow of my mother. , The pain of losing a child is heart-wrenching, it was because I didn't think carefully, I didn't take your thoughts into consideration, do as you want, I don't feel sorry for her anymore."

Shui Hong took out something from his body like a magic trick, held it in his hand, and said, "Close your eyes."

Daiyu closed her eyes obediently. Every time Shuihong asked, she would always be surprised. Sometimes it was a strangely shaped stone, sometimes it was a flower, sometimes it was a piece of sesame candy. Daiyu closed her eyes. , but in his heart he was guessing what Shuihong would give her this time.

Her hair hurt a little from being pulled, and Daiyu already felt that this time it must be a piece of jewelry. Shuihong was already very careful, but still messed up a strand of hair, so she simply combed it with her hands, and the hair drooped. When she got down, Daiyu looked extraordinarily delicate and lovely.

"Okay, open it."

Daiyu couldn't wait to run to the mirror. It was exactly as she had guessed. It was a temple ornament carved from Hetian jade, shaped like peony petals, with a silver plate at the bottom. Daiyu stroking the petals and turning around said: " How did you remember to give me this?"

"When Jialan and Linger came, I saw that there was only a jade pendant on Linger's body, so I laughed at Jialan for treating his princess too badly. Linger said that it was given to her by Jialan. How could the other jewelry be the same as him? I just realized that there is not even a token of love between us."

Daiyu smoothed the wrinkles between his brows, pointed to the lotus jade pendants worn by both of them at their waists and said, "That's not enough? I think this lotus jade pendant can be treasured as a token of love, but Since you gave me this, in order not to waste your heart, I will accept it, thank you."

Seeing her seriousness, Shuihong laughed dumbfounded, nodded her little nose and said: "Although Ling'er has the jade pendant from Jialan, I have clothes made by you, just this is enough to make Jialan envious. I see that you are devoted to me
