The Untouchable Daiyu of the Red Chamber

It is said that the title of the thirteenth princess has already been drawn up and will be bestowed on the day of Jiji, so the Jiji ceremony this time is also extremely grand.But now Changkang Palace holds the titles of Dashi Boundless and Daoist Miaomiao, and there are also people from Qin Tianjian who cooperate, which really makes people have to guard against it.

Holding the somewhat hot invitation card, Jia Min said: "On the day when the Thirteenth Princess gets married, or the children won't go, I can go alone."

Lin Ruhai said: "Lan'er can still say that she embroiders the dowry at home, why does Yu'er not go there?"

Although Su Lan is engaged, she will not leave the court so soon. In fact, it is too early to embroider the dowry, but there is an excuse.

Jia Min said: "If you don't go, don't you usually say you are sick?"

Daiyu shook her head and said, "Other banquets can be called sick, but if the thirteenth princess and Ji Li Changkang Palace are really prepared, it is useless to call sick. Little Concubine Zhong is always wise, she will never even think of this."

"Then what will she do?" Jia Min looked at Daiyu and asked.

Daiyu also shook her head, and said: "Theoretically, Changkang Palace will prepare traps for me to attend the banquet and not to attend the banquet, but I haven't guessed exactly how they will do it. It doesn't matter, we have done all the etiquette we should do, and don't ask people to find out if it is wrong. Stretching the head is a knife, shrinking the head is also a knife, then I will go and see how the knife is cut off. Besides, Concubine Zhong also You may not be willing to do something during the thirteenth princess's ceremony, to spoil your daughter's good deeds. The real trap may not be after the ceremony."

What Daiyu said was so true that no one objected.

The thirteenth princess's Jiji ceremony was still in the preparation stage, another incident happened in the middle of the court, Beidi sent a mission.

Daiyu was a little shocked when she got the news.She already knew that the Changkang Palace wanted to take the bottom line, and it would definitely not be a simple attack on the Jiji ceremony.After all, she is also the daughter of an important minister, as long as she doesn't take the initiative to offend others, those mysterious and absurd theories of collision are not enough for the emperor to deal with herself directly.So is it too coincidental that the Beidi Mission is here at this time?

Of course, the Beidi mission did not come in the name of attending the thirteenth princess and Ji ceremony, and they didn't pay much attention to this at all on the grassland.They came here for normal diplomatic activities and to discuss serious matters. It is said that Beidi requested to open a discussion meeting in northern Xinjiang.

People in Beidi make a living by nomadic herding, and every winter, the people are quite difficult.If there is a continuous blizzard, it will be a disaster for Beidi people.So every summer, in addition to harvesting grass in the country and drying it for winter, Beidi would also come to buy grain and grass after the autumn harvest in Daling Dynasty.

In previous years, if the royal family went hunting in the paddock, Beidi would also send young princes to participate. Firstly, it was a normal exchange of foreign affairs, and secondly, it was also to discuss the purchase of grain and grass.

In the past few years, there have been a lot of things going on in the court. In addition, Emperor Taizong is old and has no energy to hunt. The court has not arranged autumn hunting for three years.Last year, Bei Di originally thought that the imperial court would arrange autumn hunting, but the mission was sent a bit late, and the food and grass bought were limited, so the winter was a bit difficult.This year Beidi simply sent a mission to Beijing early.

The reception of the Beidi delegation was arranged by Honglu Temple. As for the important matters discussed, it is actually beneficial to both countries.If a market is opened in northern Xinjiang, Beidi does not need to send missions to the Daling Dynasty every year to buy grain and grass, and the Daling Dynasty will also have a lot of income.

Moreover, the market is dominated by government-run trade. Merchants need to be approved by the government and pay taxes to the government. This is also a way to increase the income of the court.Even if he knew that Marquis of Beijiang was the father of the nine princes and concubines, the benefit of opening up a discussion to increase the court's income fell to the Changkang Palace, and Lin Ruhai, who was the Minister of the Household Department, had no reason to object.

Whether or not to open a debate in northern Xinjiang will also be discussed at the Dachao Conference, but it was passed with little resistance.

Sea trade has been included in the franchise, so there is no reason to stop land trade from opening up.Even from the standpoint of the East Palace, I really don't want to start a discussion in northern Xinjiang at this time, but the missions of other people have come to discuss this matter, with full sincerity, and it is also beneficial to the country and the people.If the crown prince of a country still blocks this matter for his own selfishness, I am afraid that Emperor Taizong will consider the prince's magnanimity.

After the serious matter of the discussion was settled, the northern Xinjiang mission prepared another gift saying that it would participate in the ceremony of the thirteen princesses.It's just that I didn't come here specifically to participate in the Jiji ceremony, but since I met it, I naturally have to show my sincerity.

As for whether the northern Xinjiang mission knew about the thirteenth princess getting married this year, they should know.After all, it is a neighboring country, who would not inquire about the situation of the other party's royal family?Beidi naturally knew the number of members of the royal family of the Daling Dynasty, and how the civil and military officials were. The Daling Dynasty also knew the situation of the Beidi royal family.These are all unspoken things.

As for the Lin family, the next step is to prepare for the dress etiquette on the day of the thirteenth princess and Ji ceremony.In fact, there is nothing to prepare for this. Jia Min is ordered by the first rank, so he can wear it according to the regulations.As for Daiyu, as long as she doesn't dress too disrespectfully, the imperial court has no rules for little girls who don't have titles and grades, and no one has ever been picky about it before.

But now, isn't it the easiest to pick on metaphysics, when you really want to pick on you, even breathing can be said to offend the nobleman.So what is there to prepare for?

Jia Min was quite worried, but Daiyu was at ease.

So on the day of the thirteenth princess and the Ji ceremony, Jia Min dressed according to the grade, while Daiyu changed into the clothes she had made a long time ago. Only for the jewelry, Daiyu chose a set of emerald headdresses, and only the Wearing a few of them, Daiyu's skin is better than snow, and she is very agile.

Seeing Daiyu dressed up like this, Jia Min frowned slightly and said, "Although this set of emerald hair is very beautiful, does it seem that it is not expensive enough?"

The emeralds of this era are indeed not as valuable as various gemstones and white jade.In today's big scene, most of the other ladies will also give priority to with gem head face, amethyst head face, etc.

Daiyu laughed and said, "That's great. Today's thirteen princesses and Ji are mostly dressed in bright red. I wear green jewelry, so I won't offend the nobleman."

Jia Min didn't say anything, and took Daiyu into the palace. Sure enough, the whole process went smoothly. After the thirteenth princess added hairpins, she was given the title Changning.

The Lin family didn't want any other incidents to happen during Princess Changning's Jiji ceremony, and Jia Min and her daughter kept a low profile.Only when the ceremony was over, did I meet the nineteenth prince of Beidi.This was just a small episode, and Daiyu didn't pay much attention to it.

Seeing that nothing happened at Jiji ceremony, Jia Min was relieved.But before this tone was completely relieved, it was reported in the palace that Princess Changning was ill.

It's nothing unusual for the princess to be ill, it's nothing more than asking the imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment, but Princess Changning's illness is very strange, it goes from good to bad, and it just doesn't get better over and over again.

Jia Min said: "I thought that Changkang Palace had some great plan, but it turned out that it was nothing more than pretending to be sick, and then came the words of collision."

Daiyu rarely looked solemn, and said: "I don't think it's that simple. This time, Changkang Palace seems to have a way to push me into a desperate situation."

Lin Ruhai and Jia Min's hearts trembled when they heard the words "pushing into a desperate situation." Lin Ruhai asked, "Why did Yu'er say that?"

Daiyu said: "I just think that Changkang Palace's move this time will definitely not be a harmless attack on a nobleman. If it is just to attack Princess Changning, would the Holy One still deal with Shang Shu's daughter because of this? If it's just this , I’ve been sensible since I rarely go out; I’m going to hell, I’ll go to the Muni Temple to lead my cultivation. But then I won’t be able to make suggestions for our family? Changkang Palace definitely doesn’t want this result.”

Lin Ruhai and his wife fell silent after hearing this.

Daiyu said again: "Also, I think it's a bit of a coincidence that the Beidi mission came here this time."

Lin Ruhai also said: "It's a coincidence, but Beidi's reason for coming also makes sense. Yu'er thinks there is something wrong with Beidi?"

Daiyu didn't answer, but asked instead: "Father, are the nineteenth sons of Beidi kings highly regarded in Beidi? Why is it the No. 19 son of Beidi king who is here to discuss such a big event?"

Lin Ruhai said: "Although Beidi is not as strict as my dynasty, and the status of the concubines is very different, they are also divided into elders and younger ones. It is said that the nineteen sons of Beidi King are indeed loved by Beidi King, but it is just now. The big thing is indeed a little early."

Daiyu nodded her head and said, "I hope it's just a coincidence."

In the days that followed, Princess Changning's illness didn't get worse, nor did she get better, just intermittently, good for a while, bad for a while, but just as Daiyu expected, Qin Tianjian didn't really attack Daiyu because of it.

Just bumping into the princess won't get rid of Lin Daiyu.Moreover, there are so many imperial doctors in the Tai Hospital, it is easy to pretend to be a minor illness, but it is difficult to pretend to be a serious illness.Among other things, once the news of Princess Changning's serious illness came out, Emperor Taizong would send his trusted imperial doctor to treat Princess Changning, and the treatment would be ruined.

During this period, no one challenged Daiyu, but Lin Ruhai was in a state of desperation.As news of disasters came out of Fujian and Guangdong, it was natural to ask the imperial court to allocate money for disaster relief.Of course, such catastrophes that require the imperial court's relief are all within the prediction range of the vast masters and Miao Miao real people.

After finishing the relief work for the typhoon disaster along the coast, news spread from the capital.It's not about anyone else, it's about the prostitute of the Lin family.

And the one who spread the news was none other than Master Boundless and Daoist Miaomiao.It's not about slandering Miss Lin's words about being a monster and offending a nobleman.Let’s just say, this time it’s all good reputation.

The monk said together that Lin Shangshu's concubine daughter was the reincarnation of the fairy grass, and it was the fairy Crimson Pearl on the bank of the Ling River who came to the mortal world to save people.

As soon as this word got out, it almost shocked the entire capital.How outstanding Daiyu is, not to mention the whole capital knows it, even Jiangnan knows it.

In the past, some people thought that the girls in Shangshu Mansion were naturally outstanding, but there were some exaggerated rumors.No matter how smart a girl is, she is also a girl in her teens, how can she be so powerful.But now that Miss Lin's reputation as a fairy descended from the world is heard, everything makes sense.

Not to mention Miss Lin's ability, after all, only those who have seen these things with their own eyes are those who are qualified to participate in the Peony Banquet of Cheng'en Gong Mansion and those who participated in the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet that year.As far as Miss Lin's appearance is concerned, she is so beautiful that she is not like a mortal girl. If she were a fairy from the sky, she would be worthy of her extraordinary bearing and fairy-like appearance.

There is another one, how accurate and efficacious are the vast masters and Miao Daoist people, in fact, from high-ranking officials and dignitaries to decrees from poor people, few people regard a monk and a monk together as ordinary masters, and many people regard the two as real. immortal.

No matter how advanced the mortals are, no one dares to reveal the secrets directly. Before, Master Dinghui of the Muni Academy measured the good or bad of the officials who went south for a trial voyage, and only dared to send angelica hints.However, the vast masters and real people directly revealed the exact time and place of the disaster, and how many casualties and losses of the people have been reduced. Have they been condemned by God?Not at all?

Why does the vast Dashi and Miao Miao Daoist intend to reveal the secrets of the heavens without the slightest influence, because they are really gods.If the true god said that the girl from the Lin family is the Crimson Pearl Fairy, then she must be.

Daiyu was not as smart as an ordinary child since she was a child. Daiyu was as beautiful as a fairy and transcended the ordinary. Two gods said that Daiyu came down to earth from a fairy.Adding these three points together, Lin Daiyu wanted to deny that she was a fairy, but the common people refused.

After hearing this, Situ Zhuo couldn't sit still immediately, and he didn't wait for Lin Ruhai to take a rest, so he dragged Liu Xianglian to the Lin's house.

It was said that Liu Xianglian and Su Lan's fiancés met, but in fact Situ Zhuo had something important to discuss with Daiyu.

Situ Zhuo always thought that Daiyu was a time traveler, so he asked in a low voice, "Miss Lin, what do you think of the rumors outside? Is there another time traveler in this world besides Shui Lan who is reborn?"

This is the best explanation. After all, only readers can see the fantasy perspective in the original book, and ordinary people in the world of Red Mansions don't know about it.Then the one who knew that Daiyu was the Crimson Pearl Fairy should be a traveler who had read the original book.

It's not that Daiyu hadn't thought about this possibility, she nodded and said, "It's possible, but it's also possible that the so-called Fairy Crimson Pearl is just like Dashi Boundless and Daoist Miaomiao, a fabrication. At least for now, only you and Shui Lan The origin of it cannot be explained, and for the others, I haven’t found any supernatural things happening in the world of Red Mansions for the time being.”

Situ Zhuo smiled and said, "Things like time travel and rebirth are already supernatural things. Since we can meet each other, it doesn't mean that no one else will. What is Miss Lin going to do next?"

Daiyu shook her head, and said frankly: "I don't know, I don't even understand the purpose of Changkang Palace to give me such a good name? If I were a man, maybe I wouldn't be allowed in the royal family, but I'm just a boudoir girl .But you, little prince, if they use such a flattering method on you, it will be much more dangerous than me."

Situ Zhuo smiled wryly, and said: "I know, but I, like the girl, can only take one step at a time." Situ Zhuo is the seventh son of the crown prince, if there is any rumor of the reincarnation of an immortal, he will have a good reputation, let alone Besides, it's hard to say that King Ruijun will tolerate him in the future.

King Ruijun is currently very close to Situ Zhuo, and he has not shown any sign that Situ Zhuo's talent cannot be tolerated.But can King Ruijun tolerate his outstanding concubine brother who is sincerely helping him, and the concubine brother who is born with great fortune and destined to be extraordinary?Situ Zhuo didn't have the confidence.

Daiyu smiled and said: "I hope Changkang Palace will be less courageous, and dare not do anything to the young prince before getting rid of me. If Changkang Palace uses two prongs, even if we win this round, it will have a great impact on the young prince in the future. "

Situ Zhuo smiled and said: "Miss Lin is really a general. She doesn't change her face when Mount Tai collapses in front of her. You still have time to tease me."

Daiyu was calm, and said: "My lord, if there are gods in this world, and the gods are on the side of Station Master Kang Gong, no matter how much you and I mortals fight, it will be useless; just like ordinary people can't hold back. If all these are ordinary people pretending to be gods and ghosts, why should we be afraid of it?"

Yes, what is there to be afraid of?

Situ Zhuo smiled and said: "Miss Lin is right, I have been taught. If there is any new news, I will ask Liu Xianglian to bring it out as soon as possible."

Daiyu smiled and said, "Thank you, little prince, for your hard work."

When Lin Ruhai Luoya came back, Situ Zhuo had already left.But Lin Ruhai knew that something must happen when Situ Zhuo came to Lin's house, so he called Daiyu to the study before he even had time to change his clothes, and asked Situ Zhuo why he came.

Daiyu explained the matter briefly, of course she didn't say that she and Situ Zhuo suspected that there was another time traveler, she just said that Situ Zhuo had any news and would inform herself as soon as possible.

After Lin Ruhai heard this, he only sighed that the young prince is a person of great affection, so he asked Daiyu what her plans were?

As ancients, Lin Ruhai and his wife have always believed in the doctrine of the mean, and worried that Daiyu's beauty would be destroyed by Lin Feng.What's more, now Daiyu's reputation is frighteningly high.Even though he hadn't seen what Changkang Palace was going to do, Lin Ruhai felt terrified.

Daiyu asked: "Father, has there been any news from a monk in Fujian and Guangdong?"

Lin Ruhai said: "Jiangnan and Fujian have news that they have captured the man. However, Yuehai has not believed it because of the long distance. But the two pairs of monks who have already been obtained are on their way to Beijing."

Daiyu nodded and said: "As long as the witnesses are sent to the capital before the Changkang Palace attacks me, there may be room for change in this matter."

In the days that followed, the entire capital was very peaceful. People celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival step by step, and the palace began to prepare for the palace banquet at the end of the year.

The first winter snow fell in the capital, and the snow fell extremely heavily. When I got up early the next morning, I saw that the entire capital was covered in white, and it was extremely beautiful.

After the winter, the entire Lin family, Lin Ruhai, was extremely busy. As for the back house, the Lin family had lived in the capital for several years, so they had to follow the rules of previous years, so there was nothing to be busy about.Su Lan has already started to embroider the dowry, but Yinglian and Daiyu should share more of the housekeeping, so they can't control those things.

Originally, Daiyu thought that nothing big would happen this year, and she was preparing to spend the New Year's Eve well, and then brace herself to expose the shocking deception of the so-called great masters and real people in one fell swoop.

But before the New Year's Eve, I heard that Liu Xianglian had come to visit. This time Mr. Liu came on horseback, and he was in a hurry, as if he had something important to do.

Daiyu hurriedly ordered people to invite Liu Xianglian inside, but Liu Xianglian only said that the young prince asked her to come, and said to Miss Lin that the scout from Beijiang handed over the booklet to enter the capital, and the scout went straight into the upper study.

With such endless words, Daiyu was keenly aware of something.

This year's first winter snowfall in the capital was extremely heavy. I'm afraid that Beidi's winter will be even worse this winter. The memorial from Beijiang is mostly to ask the imperial court to increase the supply of food and grass in Beijiang, just in case.If Beidi was hit by a blizzard and suffered heavy losses, once the north thawed, it was very likely to violate the border.There is nothing wrong with Beijianghou's memorial.

Daiyu suddenly knew something, and looked to the north.The current Beidi is part of Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia in later generations, and the Mongolian grassland is also a very beautiful place.Do you want to see the scenery beyond the Great Wall in ancient times?

Situ Zhuo also vaguely guessed something, and anxiously inquired about the news in the palace, but he did not dare to pass the news to the Lin family when he got the news.Miss Bingxue is as smart as Lin, she should have already thought of something when she heard the news from Hou Beijiang and rushed to send the booklet to Beijing at Babaili.

Daiyu naturally thought of it, but regardless of whether the north suffered a large-scale snowstorm this winter, at least the north will not mobilize troops in winter.Otherwise, let alone the confrontation between the two armies, the harsh natural environment alone is enough to cause a large number of non-combat attrition on both sides.

Since the army will not be mobilized before the thaw, this year can still be a good year with the family.

Lin Ruhai, as the Minister of the Ministry of Households, knew about the increase of food, supplies, and military pay in Beijiang.Lin Ruhai and Daiyu had a brief exchange of opinions when they returned home after finishing their official duties, and they had a tacit understanding and concealed their worries.Maybe Su Lan will leave the cabinet next year, maybe there will be other major events next year, it's great to have a simple and happy reunion year.

It was still the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, and Lin Ruhai began to take a vacation.Still visiting relatives and friends to attend the banquet, still receiving the palace banquet safely, even the rest of the Lin family thought that the matter of Princess Changning and Ji was the Lin family's overthinking.

The day when Changkang Palace's killer move finally showed its ferocious face came earlier than Daiyu imagined, and when that day really came, Daiyu was not panicked or angry, but relieved.The beginning of the battle is actually the starting point for the end of the battle.

Not long after Daiyu's birthday, before March, Beidi's mission came to Beijing again.

Beidi was indeed hit by a severe snowstorm last winter and suffered heavy losses. Now that the road has not yet thawed, it is quite difficult for the mission to come all the way.But it is related to the future of Beidi, and the king of Beidi can't wait.King Beidi was full of sincerity this time, and promised that as long as Lin Shangshu would let Fairy Jiangzhu marry Beidi far away, Beidi would be willing to pay tribute to the Daling Dynasty.

Situ Zhuo still sent Liu Xianglian to tell Daiyu when he got the news that the Beidi Mission had entered Beijing, and when he found out the purpose of the Beidi Mission, he came to the Lin family in person.

Daiyu still sat and drank tea with Situ Zhuo at the stone table in the yard.

Situ Zhuo said: "I never expected that Beidi would directly set the conditions for being a minister and paying tribute. In this way, the emperor's grandfather may also be tempted. What is Miss Lin going to do?"

In fact, Daiyu vaguely guessed this last winter, and said: "Their reason is well made up. Beidi people live after water and grass. If I were a fairy of crimson pearls, I would bless Beidi with good weather and lush pastures. It is reasonable. But it can also be determined because of this." Those who make up these words are mortals."

As a mortal, there is a way to deal with it.
