The Lady of the Red Chamber

Yun Qingxu curled her fingers unconsciously, and a wild groundhog growled in her heart: Oh my god, when did I become the chicken that Princess Jiatai gave her New Year's greetings to?She doesn't want this kind of one in ten thousand lottery chance at all! ! !

Lin Daiyu obviously didn't expect Princess Jiatai to invite them to play at the house, and she was taken aback.But he quickly reacted to Cun Lai, leaning forward and saying: "The princess is very kind. It's just that the servant girl and cousin Yun have already accepted the post from His Royal Highness Princess Shuyang, so I'm afraid I won't be able to follow the princess's pleasure today. The princess forgives the crime."

"Aunt Shuyang." Princess Jiatai's eyes flickered, and then she smiled very understandingly: "Since Aunt Shuyang invited me, I have no choice but to obey. It seems that the princess today I don’t have this blessing. I just don’t know how many days the two younger sisters have time for?”

Yun Qingxuan can be said to be complaining endlessly now.Why is Princess Jiatai so obsessed with finding them to play with?

But rejected once, obviously can't refuse a second time.

Yun Qingxuan and Lin Daiyu looked at each other with a wry smile, and could only say: "The princess is so loving, the servant girl should be respectful rather than obedient."

Seeing that the two agreed, Princess Jiatai clapped her hands and said with a smile: "In that case, my princess will wait for the visit of the two younger sisters at the mansion in three days' time."

Princess Shuyang is the elder sister of Emperor Mingxi, the only direct princess in the royal family of Emperor Mingxi's generation, and the only surviving direct daughter of the royal clan today.The dignity is indescribable.

Not to mention that Princess Shuyang and the present are twin siblings, and the auspicious sign of dragon and phoenix has protected Daqing for decades.In today's situation of no descendants, the status of the princess is even higher than that of the imperial concubine.

Yun Qingxuan and Lin Daiyu were invited to be guests, and I don't know how many people's eyes were envied.

The two are sitting in the flower hall of the princess mansion drinking tea and eating fruit, quietly waiting for the princess to come out.

Lin Daiyu was alright, but Yun Qingxuan was worried and distracted, her hand holding the fruit was empty several times without noticing it.

A maid's voice of greeting came from outside the hall: "See Prince Cun Eleven."

Yun Qing looked up slowly.

Sure enough, the eleventh prince, dressed in a moon-white brocade robe, walked in slowly with a gentle smile.

Lin Daiyu and Yun Qingxuan stood up together to say hello: "See Your Highness Cun."

Situ Jin waved his hand: "There is no need to be so polite."

A maid served tea to Situ Jin.Situ Jin took a sip of tea foam, then looked at the two people opposite, and said with some amusement: "What's wrong, cousin, you are so sleepy, as if someone owed you something." "

Yun Qinghuo said a little unmotivatedly: "Yes, I feel that God owes me a serious illness that requires me to lie in bed for three months."

Lin Daiyu couldn't help laughing after hearing this, squinted at Yun Qingxuan, and tapped the table with her hand: "You are always clever. There is nothing you can't say. Carefully, aunt you."

Situ Jin learned about this from Princess Huining after she returned to the mansion, and rushed over quickly.Looking at Yun Qingxuan like this, the words of comfort turned into a joke before he could say it: "You can always tell some strange things. What does it mean that God owes you a serious illness? It's as if you've been hiding forever."

Several people were talking, when the maid outside the door announced that Princess Shuyang came here accompanied by Mrs. Fengguo.

The Eleventh Prince, Yun Qingxuan, and Lin Daiyu stood up together, and saluted, "See Princess Cun Shuyang (aunt), and Mrs. Cun Fengguo."

Although the eldest princess Shuyang is no longer confused, she made sure to raise her like a woman in her early thirties.At this time, Mrs. Fengguo supported her to sit on the seat, raised her hand to signal for a few people to sit down, looked at the juniors below and said cheerfully: "Little Eleven, today I invite Miss Yun and Miss Lin." , you have come to follow Cun anyway."

The eleventh prince stood up again and bowed to Princess Shuyang, and said with a smile, "I miss the sweet-scented osmanthus cake from my aunt, so I came here to ask for a bite today. I hope my aunt won't make fun of my nephew. "

Princess Shuyang has never been married all her life, so it is lonely to stay in the mansion on weekdays, and she loves to watch these juniors having fun.At this time, after hearing what the Eleventh Prince said, he smiled even more happily, pointed at Situ Jin and said to Mrs. Fengguo: "It's still Xiao Shiyi who knows how to hurt people the most, and comes to visit me every now and then. I don’t know how many times stronger my brother is.”

Mrs. Feng Guo said with a smile: "This is the princess's blessing."

The eleventh prince did not dare to take credit at this time, but flattered Princess Shuyang: "My aunt said so, but I am a nephew. Eleven is not an inch because he is young and has not yet entered the court. The elder brother has a lot of time, so he can visit his aunt from time to time. It is said that the elder brothers are the most filial. A few days ago, the second emperor brother specially ordered someone to send to his aunt a half-human-high Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva. The 28 masters chanted the mantra together for 49 days of consecration. We all praise the second emperor brother for his filial piety these days."

Sure enough, Princess Shuyang was even happier, nodding her head and praised repeatedly: "You guys are all good boys."

Mrs. Fengguo had long praised Cun Daiyu in front of Princess Shuyang for her cleverness and unparalleled talent.The eleventh prince sometimes visits his aunt, and he always mentions that the eldest lady of Zhen Guohou's mansion is lively, clever and innocent.

At this time, the princess looked at the two little girls sitting side by side below, and the more she watched, the more joyful she became, and she waved her hands and said, "Come, come to my side."

Yun Qingxuan and Daiyu stepped forward together, with good manners and good manners: "See Princess Cun."

Princess Shuyang held one in each hand, and smiled at Mrs. Fengguo: "Mum, look, these two girls look really iconic. The Yun family girl and Huaran's eyebrows seem to be carved out of the same mold." , the outline is like Ruxi. And this girl from the Lin family looks exactly like A Min when she was young."

Mrs. Fengguo knows that Princess Shuyang is getting old, and she loves nostalgia the most.But those close friends who used to be in the boudoir are now either passing away or unable to meet each other due to various reasons, so they followed the words of Princess Shuyang: "I feel the same way. If the princess misses Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Yun , it’s better to bring the two ladies here to stay for a while from time to time. The two ladies are so beautiful, it’s hard to say that those flowers and plants are willing to bloom when they see them, and they are willing to add fireworks to our house.”

Princess Shuyang shook her head, and patted the hands of the two of them: "I am willing, but how can I make Lin Fu and Yun Fu bear the pain of missing their daughter? Then I will become this villain instead. Not right ,inappropriate."

Yun Qingxuan had a good impression of Princess Shuyang, seeing the princess's obviously moved but caring appearance, her brain became hot, and she said crisply: "Even if we can't live, my cousin and I can always come to Cunfu to accompany the princess. "

It was only when the voice fell to the ground that the cloud was clear and slow to react to what he said, and instantly wished he could slap him in the mouth, regretting it endlessly.

Princess Shuyang was obviously taken aback when she heard this.

Seeing Yun Qingxu biting her lips in annoyance and carefully looking up at herself, she couldn't help laughing out loud: "As expected of a daughter of the Yun family, she is straightforward and sincere like Huaran. No wonder Heng'er always praises her in front of me. And you. Well, well, well."

Princess Shuyang said three good words in a row, then held Daiyu and Yun Qingxuan's hands and said a lot of words, and asked the eleventh prince to take them to the garden to play, and come back for dinner when it was late.

Yun Qing slowly lowered her head and walked into the garden together with Lin Daiyu, obviously very sad, her whole body exuded the aura of not being close to strangers. .

Lin Daiyu looked at Yun Qingxuan's loss, raised her hand and patted her shoulder, and said softly: "Huanhua, it's gone, don't be sad."

Yun Qinghuan was still feeling very uncomfortable, kicking the pebbles in the garden with her feet, and said sullenly: "Cousin, I think I'm really stupid. Why do I always say the wrong thing."

The Eleventh Prince looked at Yun Qingxuan's downcast appearance, and sighed with a smile: "Cousin, you have seen my aunt's attitude. My aunt grew up in the palace since she was a child, and she has a lot of experience, so she knows that you are not like that." It's just that someone who is in a position to be in power would say that because he really wanted to get close to my aunt. She didn't blame you."

Daiyu also comforted Yun Qingxuan: "Yes. Her Royal Highness the Princess was very happy just now."

Yun Qinghuan still couldn't get out of her autism, looking at the blue lake in front of her, she wanted to cry: "Cousin, I think that sooner or later I will be killed by my unrestrained and careless words."

At the same time, Princess Shuyang was sitting indoors, talking with Mrs. Fengguo.

The eldest princess Shuyang stroked a green jade bracelet in her hand, looked out the window and sighed: "Mum, the girl from the Yun family and Huaran looked alike when they were young. They are both so clear and innocent, treating others with their hearts. It's a pity that Huaran is becoming more and more cautious now, and when he sees me, he just respectfully calls her Your Highness the Princess, and will never be as close as before."

Mrs. Fengguo knew that Princess Shuyang was feeling uncomfortable, and she couldn't say anything about the matter, so she could only admonish her in a low voice: "Princess, now Concubine Hui is no longer the eldest lady of the Yun family, and you are not the carefree and carefree woman." The little princess who cares about you. Why does Concubine Hui not want to play with you every day like when you were young? It's just that fate is impermanent in the end."

"Hey." The eldest princess Shuyang has a prominent position and has been ups and downs for many years. She has long been indifferent to world affairs, but now seeing Yun Qingxuan's innocent and ignorant appearance, it brought back memories of her girlhood, and she felt inexplicably sad: "If Huaran didn't Entering the palace, will we not be like this now?"

Mrs. Fengguo didn't speak, but listened silently to Princess Shuyang's chatter.She also knew that the princess was looking for someone to listen to.

"The girl from the Yun family is a good girl, and I don't know how long she can keep her innocence." Thinking of how the eleventh prince quietly asked her for help, Princess Shuyang couldn't help laughing: "Little eleven is also an idiot. Yep, looking for me quietly and still not letting the girls of the Yun family know. Come on, come on, Jiatai’s temperament is indeed not very good. This can be regarded as the end of the relationship between Huaran Ruxi and me back then."

The news that Princess Shuyang was going to Mount Wutai to pay respects to the Buddha and chant scriptures to pray for the late emperor caused shock in all directions.

The eldest princess lives in seclusion all year round, and it is difficult for ordinary people to see her face to face.Now it is rare to hand over the booklet, saying that the late emperor fell into a dream at night, talking about missing his children, and weeping.The princess was worried about her father and couldn't sleep at night, so she wrote a letter requesting to go to Mount Wutai to pray for the late emperor and chant scriptures, to fulfill the filial piety of a son.

He also said that now that the royal heirs are prosperous, he asked the princess and princess to accompany him, copy scriptures together, and pray for the late emperor, so that the other late emperor could feel the joy of the four generations living together.

His Majesty praised the Eldest Princess for her filial piety, so with a flick of a ink pen, several princesses of the royal family and two Princesses of Huining and Jiatai were appointed to accompany them.

And it was ordered that after three months, the eldest princess would drive to Mount Wutai.In March, before the New Year's Eve, the capital becomes a vegetarian.Marriage, banquets, and music are prohibited.The accompanying princesses and princesses all copied scriptures for three months and burned them in Mount Wutai to pray to God.

When the news reached Zhen Guohou's mansion, Yun Qingxuan excitedly rolled on the bed.

Princess Shuyang will stay at Mount Wutai for at least a year, which means that she will not have to see Princess Jiatai for a whole year.

After doing some calculations, my cousin probably came to the throne when Cousin Lin was ten years old.My cousin is now more than eight years old.Even if Princess Jiatai comes back, the second prince will probably become the Prince Yizhong who did something bad, and Princess Jiatai's biggest backer will be gone by then.

This fresh and pleasant day with the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers is really exciting just thinking about it.

The eleventh prince happened to come to Zhen Guohou's mansion today to ask Yun Qingyu for advice, and seeing Yun Qinghu humming and happily practicing calligraphy in the garden, he walked up to him with some amusement and said, "Why, you don't need to see Jiatai. Are you so happy?"

Yun Qing nodded heavily: "Of course."

That atomic-bomb-level lethal weapon can go as far as it can go, don't come to the capital to harm a good woman again.

The Eleventh Prince shook his head with a smile, sat down opposite Yun Qingxuan, looked down at the writing on the table, with surprise in his eyes: "Your writing is good."

Yun Qingxuan was very proud: "That's natural. A Niang prepared a lot of Master Tan's copybooks for me, and I have been copying them for a long time, so of course they are well written."

Seeing Yun Qingxuan's triumphant appearance, her round face was swollen, Situ Jin worked very hard to restrain the sinful hand she wanted to pinch, and poured cold water unbearably: "Small cousin , even if Jiatai is not here, the Second Prince's Mansion will still not give up inviting you and Miss Lin. Don't be too happy too soon."

Unexpectedly, Yun Qingxuan had expected this a long time ago, and refuted Situ Jin with reason: "Your Highness, the Second Prince, invited my cousin because he wanted to win over Uncle. Inviting me is just like what you said a few days ago, Your Highness." , in order to know oneself and the enemy. But now that Princess Jiatai has left the capital, the Second Prince’s Mansion has no princess of the same family. If you want to show your sincerity, you can only have a small banquet. When the time comes, everyone will be there, and I am not afraid of."

What's more, without Princess Jiatai, the second prince's mansion doesn't have such a cave.

Situ Jin smiled and praised: "I was still worried about you, but now it seems that I am overthinking."

Yun Qingxuan scratched her head in embarrassment: "My elder brother told me this, and I didn't know it very well."

The Eleventh Prince really didn't care about Yun Qingxuan, and he was relieved: "I came today to tell you about the power of this. You know it's the best. It's because I thought about it, but I forgot Qingchi will teach you these too."

Yun Qingxuan thought that the Eleventh Prince's visit to Zhen Guohou's Mansion was really looking for Yun Qingyu, but he didn't expect that he came here on purpose for himself, and he was instantly heartwarming and moved.Biting his lip, he said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Speaking of Princess Jiatai's departure from the capital, besides Yun Qingyou, the Xue family's mother and daughter were the happiest people.

In the Lixiangyuan, Aunt Xue took Xue Baochai's hand and kept wiping away her tears: "This is really great. Now that Princess Jiatai has left the capital, my son doesn't have to suffer like that anymore."

Xue Baochai looked numb, seemingly indifferent to this matter, but just patted Aunt Xue's hand: "Mom, don't cry, wipe your tears."

"Hey." Aunt Xue took the brocade handkerchief from Ying'er, wiped the corners of her eyes, looked at Xue Baochai who had lost weight within a month, and said with distress: "My son, it's all mother's fault. Back then, I shouldn't have agreed with you to serve as an attendant to the princess of His Highness the Second Prince."

Xue Baochai smiled lightly.

After being trained by Princess Jiatai in different ways for a whole month, Baochai's face like a silver basin has been thinned to the point where her cheekbones are slightly exposed. Looking at it for no reason makes people feel sour: "Mom, don't blame yourself. I never No regrets."

Although Xue Baochai said so, how could Aunt Xue not blame herself.

As she spoke, Aunt Xue's tears fell again: "Speaking of it, it's your brother's incompetence. But if he has a little bit of progress, why bother asking you to earn this future for our family."

Xue Baochai sighed, seeing Aunt Xue started crying again, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Aunt Xue: "Mom, let's have a cup of tea."

Aunt Xue was crying so hard that her chest was throbbing and hurting. She took the tea from Baochai's hand and drank it down, and then she felt better.

"Mom, I'm fine now." Seeing Aunt Xue's flushed eyes, Xue Baochai comforted her softly, as if she didn't care about the humiliation she received these days.

"The most important thing now is my elder brother. Those shopkeepers rely on their own seniority to be old, and my elder brother is an ignorant one. He deceives his superiors and his inferiors, and is in cahoots." Xue Baochai smiled, but his eyes narrowed: "Our Xue family Millions of capital were eaten away by this villain. If you don’t worry about it now, what should you do in the future?”

Aunt Xue was frightened by Baochai's words, looked around and confirmed that even Ying'er had been sent out, then held Baochai's hand tightly: "My son, what do you mean by that? "

Xue Baochai raised her eyebrows, sat upright and blew the tea foam, and said nonchalantly, "It's just for Mom to prepare. After all, there are still plenty of places to spend money in the future."

Xue Baochai has been in and out of the second prince's mansion with Princess Rouping these days, and she knows everything she should know.

The Xue family has now boarded the second prince's boat.Those in positions of power are most afraid of double-mindedness.If she doesn't show some sincerity, she, Xue Baochai, can only be the escort of Princess Rouping forever, and there will be no bright future.

The Second Prince's Mansion has now become her favor.Then she still wants to use her strength to climb up the Qingyun Ladder with the help of the wind.
