There is no phoenix

When the Beijing Palace family returned to the palace, it was already Xushi, but the children were very excited.

It was a rare time for Shui Lin to return home, so both Shui Ruoning and the concubine said they would take her to live in their backyard.Daiyu originally thought that Shui Lin was ten years old, and built a courtyard for Shui Lin at her own side, but thinking that Shui Lin spent more time with Concubine Shui Ruoning since she was a child, and became closer, she had to agree.However, Shui Xiao and Shui Zhen all said that they wanted to live with their elder brother Shui Lin, and Shui Ting also wanted to go after hearing that.

Shui Rong smiled and said, "Go four of you, don't you want to disturb Grandpa Taiwang and Grandma Taifei?"

The concubine smiled and said: "Forget it, Rong'er, let them all go, it's just one night, once Lin'er leaves tomorrow, it will take several days to come back."

Shui Ting usually lives in the courtyard next to Daiyu's Qingzhu Garden, this time he went to the palace to have fun, and wanted to be with his three older brothers, so Shui Rong Daiyu had no choice but to comply.

After half an hour, the children settled down, and Shui Rong Daiyu was free to enter the house to rest.

"Dai'er, in the palace just now, I have already told the emperor's brother that we are going to Gusu, but he only promised me a month, unless I go earlier, saying that it will be busy starting in March, and we must go to Gusu. Come back before the fifth day of March." Shui Rong said.

Daiyu thought for a while and said, "Brother Rong, why don't we go back in a few days, we don't have to wait until March. We haven't been back for so many years because the children are too young. This time we will bring Xiao'er Zhen'er Ting'er Go, and let father, queen, mother and concubine rest for a month."

Shui Rong thought for a while and said, "Alright, how about we go on the [-]th? I'll go tomorrow to arrange the important things, and I'll talk about the rest when I come back."

Shui Rong finished speaking, looked at Daiyu's still graceful figure with a smile and said, "Dai'er, come here!"

Daiyu hurriedly asked: "If you have anything to say, just say it, brother Rong, I'm a little sleepy."

Shui Rong smiled and walked up to Daiyu and said, "Dai'er, why are you still as good-looking as when we got married? I think I'm going to grow old."

Daiyu laughed and said, "Brother Rong, did you drink too much today and talk drunk?"

Shui Rong lowered his head and kissed Daiyu with a smile, and said with a smile, "Dai'er, ever since you gave birth to Ting'er, Mr. Zhang said that you gave birth too often and you should take a good rest for a few years. You haven't taken medicine for a year now, you Say, should we plan the next one?"

Daiyu smiled and said, "Brother Rong, what's next? We already have four sons, and I guess I'm too old to have any."

Shui Rong put Daiyu on the bed, and said with a smile: "Silly Dai'er, what happened? My daughter is still in your stomach. Let me tell you something, this year, maybe we can really have a daughter."

Daiyu asked suspiciously, "Why?"

Shui Rong smiled and said: "Because I dreamed about my mother yesterday, and I asked her why the emperor's elder brother wanted to have another son, and it was fulfilled as soon as he came back from the Muni Court, but I miss my daughter, why not yet. Dai'er , do you know what the queen mother said?"

Daiyu patted Shui Rong's chest with a smile and said, "Quickly tell me, I want to know how you make it up."

Shui Rong said seriously: "No, Dai'er, I really dreamed about my mother's queen yesterday, and I definitely didn't make it up. The mother said, Rong'er, your mother, concubine and father have worked hard enough, take care of the older one first, and then your daughter Someone will take care of you, your father, queen, mother and concubine are not too hard. So Dai'er, I believe that you have been raising her for so many years, and Ting'er is seven years old. We have a daughter this year, and Ting'er can hug her younger sister. What's more, there are three older brothers."

Daiyu laughed and said, "Brother Rong, let's go with fate. If we are destined to have no daughter, then begging will be useless. After we bring a few children to worship my parents, we will go to Qingyang on the way back. How about it? It won't delay anything if you drop by like this, but it will only add two or three days."

After hearing this, Shui Rong woke up and said, "That's right, why did I forget? In this way, we don't need to go back. Let's go to Qingyang first, and then go to Gusu. When we return to the capital, the weather should be warmer, so we can go back to Beijing directly from the Grand Canal." , What do you think? I believe that with our sincerity, we will be able to have a daughter this year."

Daiyu smiled and said: "It's up to you, Brother Rong, but we can't be as public as that time when we accompanied Father Huang, but we have to bring a gentleman to go, if there is free time on the way, the husband can also teach the three brothers Xiao'er something. "

Shui Rong said: "I know, let Mr. Zhu accompany us, bring four young guards and Shui An, take a boat on the water, and at most three cars on the road. We will only stay in Qingyang for one night , We will stay at the post house at other times, I will go and clarify with the emperor tomorrow, and see if he has any orders."

After the next morning, Shui Rong really told Shui Ze about this, and Shui Ze nodded and said, "That's fine, I just happened to be thinking who should go to our hometown to pay homage this year. I have worked hard for a few years, Brother Ying. This year, Brother Rong, you It would be better if you are willing to go. Brother Rong, if you go on the [-]th, you can come back earlier, and tomorrow I will ask the Ministry of Rites to prepare the sacrificial offerings for the sacrifice, and you can take them with you."

On the [-]th, Daiyu spent the whole day packing up, and the concubine also asked a few maids and mothers to help Shui Xiao and Shui Zhen brothers clean up. She thought that it would take more than a month before she could see these three precious grandchildren, too. Concubine and Shui Ruoning instructed them over and over again.

The most disappointed are Bao Qin's two sons and daughters. In the past, they all studied literature and martial arts together under the guidance of their husbands. Suddenly, the three of them left, and there were only two siblings left.

On the next day, Shui Rong Daiyu and a group of ten people arrived at the East Gate Ferry by car and boarded the official ship heading south.The three children were very excited when they went out for the first time. They sat under the window of the cabin and watched the scenery on both sides of the canal. They didn't go to rest until they were too exhausted.

On the evening of the 23rd, Daiyu and his party arrived at the Dezhou Ferry. Water Rong ordered Shui'an and a guard to look for the car first, and he and Daiyu took their children to watch the scenery on the shore at the ferry.

Daiyu recalled the scene of meeting Tanchun and Li Tai here, and couldn't help laughing: "Brother Rong, how time flies, that time I met my third sister, Brother Tai, we were not married yet, the second time we accompany you Father disembarks here, we don't have Xiao'er and Zhen'er, let alone Ting'er, the three of them are all this old now."

Shui Rong was about to answer when Shui Ting shook Daiyu's hand and said, "Concubine Mu, I want to eat them too."

Daiyu followed Shui Ting's hand, and saw a few people walking by the bank, all eating donkey meat skewered on bamboo sticks.

"Father, I want to eat this too!" Shui Xiao Shui Zhen said while looking at Shui Rong almost at the same time.

Shui Rong smiled and said: "You three have sharp eyes and sharp noses, you have whetted my appetite, let's go, father will take you to eat donkey meat."

Daiyu laughed after hearing this and said, "Brother Rong, look at you, thanks to the fact that you are still the father and king, you still can't forget to eat meat when you come out, it's the same as back then, but you guys can't walk around the street and eat like this. What kind of system."

Shui Rong didn't argue, and said to Mr. Zhu and a few guards: "You guys wait here, I'll take the children to buy some food."

So Shui Rong led Shui Xiao Shui Zhen, Dai Yu led Shui Ting, and brought two guards to the ferry crossing street.

The donkey meat was quickly available, and the three children were really hungry, so Daiyu had to let the three brothers eat it first, and take the rest back to the posthouse to eat later.Several children saw that Shui Rong had bought a lot and packed it in a bamboo basket, and they all agreed.

A few people talked and laughed and returned, but after only a few steps, a woman with a child came in front of her. Daiyu took a look, and couldn't help being shocked.

The woman also saw Daiyu, and quickly stood still, staring at Daiyu intently.

Daiyu took a few steps forward, and the man also stepped forward, pointing at Daiyu in surprise, "Are you Sister Lin?"

Daiyu asked pleasantly: "You are the second sister? Why are you here?"

Seeing that Daiyu actually knew this ordinary woman, Shui Rong also looked at Daiyu in surprise.

Shui Xiao, Shui Zhen and Shui Ting were still slowly tasting the delicious food in their hands, but they didn't pay much attention to their parents' emotions.

"Mom, who are they?"

It was the child in Yingchun's hand who asked first, breaking the momentary silence.

Yingchun looked at Shui Rong and asked Daiyu, "Sister Lin, is this brother-in-law?"

Daiyu hurriedly pulled Shui Rong over, and said to Shui Rong, "Brother Rong, this is the second sister I told you about, the one who married into the Sun family."

Daiyu then said to Yingchun: "Second sister, this is my elder brother Rong, Beijing Palace, do you remember?"

Yingchun smiled and said, "Young prince? Are you destined to learn how to ride horses? Sister Lin, these are your children? They all look so handsome."

Daiyu smiled and said, "Yes, three of them came, and one didn't come. I want to take the children to Gusu for a while."
