[Red Chamber] Dai Yu became the favorite of the Song Dynasty

So in the early morning of the sixth day, Daiyu went to the palace. When she arrived in the palace, the officials had not yet come to court, so she went to visit Shangyang and Kaier.

After Zhao Jing left, Shang Yang never asked officials to arrange bodyguards for her, and she was still surrounded by the original maids and internal officials. She was silent a lot, not as talkative as before.Kai'er was not very active like Shang Yang, although she was practicing calligraphy, her expression on her face was serious like a little adult.

Daiyu looked at the aunt and nephew who were full of worries, and was quite puzzled: "It's Chinese New Year, why don't you two have any expression of joy on your face, what are you doing with a stern face?" Daiyu took the red envelope she had prepared Put it on the side of Kai'er's writing desk: "Children have red envelopes during the Chinese New Year. I gave it to you. Give aunt a smile, okay?"

Kai'er was not overwhelmed by a red envelope, and returned it to Daiyu: "I'm an older child, I don't need a red envelope, aunt, you don't need to give it to me."

"Our family can't take in enough money for Yu'er, so why doesn't Kai'er want it? Do you think your aunt has given too little?"

"No, aunt, I don't need money in the palace, it's useless to ask for it."

Daiyu said to Shang Yang: "I'm afraid this child is stupid, and he doesn't even want the red envelopes for the New Year's Eve."

"Sister, if he doesn't want it, just let him go."

Daiyu really didn't know what happened to the two of them, and she was uncharacteristically: "But what happened? You are so listless, and you haven't been like this before Chinese New Year."

Shang Yang originally promised that the officials would never disclose it to outsiders, but Daiyu was not an outsider, but a relative like them, so he told Daiyu the truth: "Brother Emperor... his health is getting worse... Although it is Chinese New Year, but He didn't eat much..."

When Kaier saw Shang Yang say it, he poked his little head over, he was very worried about his father's body, but his father never told him, treating him as an ignorant child.

Daiyu knew that the official's health was not good all the time, and she couldn't sleep well all night because of the frontier affairs. "What do the imperial doctors say? Can you tell me what kind of disease it is?"

"The doctor said...it was hemoptysis..."

Daiyu's heart skipped a beat, this disease is terminal and it is impossible to cure it in this day and age, no wonder the officials used to hide their faces and cough lightly, but she didn't take it to heart!

Shang Yang was still saying: "Brother Huang doesn't let us go to him often anymore, he is afraid that we will get sick... Sister, what do you think?"

This made Daiyu feel difficult, thinking that she also died of hemoptysis in her previous life, and she was familiar with and afraid of this disease... But she is not a skilled doctor, so she cannot see a doctor and save people.Although she was worried and anxious, she couldn't show it, because Shang Yang and Kai'er were already in a panic, if Dai Yu acted flustered again, it would only make them feel even more insecure...

Daiyu had no choice but to comfort them: "Don't worry, wait for Your Majesty to come to me to see him. He is still young, so he should be fine. Shang Yang, just take care of Kaier, don't worry about anything else."

"Then you can persuade Brother Huang to rest well. Political affairs can never be finished. Wait until your health is better before you get busy."

Daiyu: "I understand."

Daiyu had been waiting in the imperial study for a long time, and for some reason the official family did not come to court today.She was anxious to wait, but as a woman, she couldn't go to court, so she could only ask a small internal officer to investigate the situation.Unexpectedly, the little internal official ran back just halfway, and told Daiyu out of breath: "I heard that the official's family was pissed off by the ministers in the court hall, passed out, and was sent back to the palace just now!"

Daiyu rushed to Funing Hall in a hurry, and saw a group of imperial physicians in the hall who were having a consultation. She didn't want to disturb her, so she could only wait at the door.

After waiting for more than half an hour, the imperial physicians came out one after another. Dai Yu grabbed the head of the imperial physician Liu and couldn't wait to step forward and asked: "Emperor Liu, how is your Majesty?"

Imperial Physician Liu shook his head slightly, and sighed: "Princess Qi, Your Majesty's condition is not very good, and I'm already working hard."

Daiyu couldn't help asking, "Is it really hemoptysis?"

"Yes."

Shang Yang's rhetoric was confirmed, and Daiyu's heart sank.

The imperial physicians were busy going back to make medicine for the officials, and Daiyu went to Funing's store to visit.A hot towel was placed on the official's forehead, and the man was still coughing.Daiyu deliberately walked lightly, so as not to disturb him, but she was still discovered by the officials.

"You're here..." the official asked with his eyes slightly closed.

"Your Majesty, what's bothering you? How could you be offended by the adults?" Daiyu didn't directly mention the official's illness, fearing that he would think wildly.

"Those bastards... There are so many political affairs in the court... They don't care about it, and they are forcing me to make a queen..." The official said and got angry again.

Daiyu was afraid that his anger would accelerate his illness, so she quickly comforted her: "The adults are also for the stability of the harem. If you have a queen empress, you can also help you share some harem affairs."

"I... don't you know that the harem cannot be without a master? But looking around, who can be the lord of this harem..." The official family didn't want to have a successor at first, and he had a premonition that he might not have much time, and he was even more afraid that the successor would dominate him in the future The government will be unfavorable to Kaier.

It's inconvenient for Daiyu to intervene in the affairs of the harem, and she doesn't care who the officials want to be the queen, but she also hopes that Kai'er can have someone who sincerely takes care of him.

But Daiyu didn't know that the officials didn't want to be a queen, so she asked directly: "Why doesn't your majesty want to be a queen and manage the harem? If you become a queen earlier, the ministers will feel at ease earlier, so that they don't have to try everything in private. My daughter is stuffed into the palace."

The official pointed to the teacup on one side and motioned for Daiyu to bring it to him.Daiyu quickly poured water and brought it to him.

The official took a few sips and then gave up.He said slowly: "Even you know that they covet the successor, so I am even more worried. What I fear most in my life is the collusion between the former court and the harem to disturb the court... Right now, I am afraid that my illness will not be cured. I... have to make some plans for Kai'er..."

"I don't want to be an empress. After I die, Kai'er will have no obstacles to succession. The Great Song Dynasty can be handed over to him smoothly..."

Daiyu never thought that the officials would plan so much, for the children, for the world, but not for himself. "Your Majesty, it's not beneficial for you to think too much than your body. I beg you, think less, the dragon's body is important!"

"I know my body. Throughout the ages, no one can cure hemoptysis, and now it drags on day by day. Don't tell Shang Yang and Kai'er, I... don't want to make them worry..."

But Daiyu didn't want to agree: "They are your close relatives, they should accompany you and support you..."

The official waved his hand slightly: "Zhao's royal family, I have a small number of people, I hope they will be well and don't come to my side to get over their illness." The official thought again, "Don't come here again, this blessing Ning Dian is no longer peaceful... I will issue a decree for your marriage with Lu Qingzhou as soon as possible, and there will be nothing to hinder you in the future."

Daiyu felt very uncomfortable listening to the officials as if they were explaining the funeral. "Your Majesty, you plan for all of us, but you refuse to think about yourself. As long as you think less, you will be cured..."

"You don't need to comfort me, I understand it in my heart. No matter what happens to me, you will always be Princess Xiaoxiang of the Great Song Dynasty, and you can enter and leave the palace at any time. From now on, Shangyang and Kai'er, please take care of me..." the official said. Then, she closed her eyes unconsciously, "Go, I'm tired..."

Daiyu couldn't stay any longer, so she quietly withdrew.

After leaving the Palace of Funing, Daiyu's mind was lost and she didn't know where to go.The official's words kept echoing in her ears, every sentence weeping blood.

He is a monarch, a father, an elder brother... But he has never been himself, and the official family has never lived for themselves in this life.

Two days later, the Lin family and Lu Qingzhou received an official imperial decree at the same time: "I married Lin Daiyu, Princess of Xiaoxiang, and General Lu Qingzhou of Jingyuan, and the wedding date will be chosen by the two through consultation. A couple is one, a marriage made in heaven; with one heart and one mind, a century of good harmony!"

Although Daiyu was informed in advance, she did not expect the imperial decree to come so soon.In the eyes of the Lin family, a marriage gift from the official family is a great joy, and everyone has a happy look on their faces, but Daiyu doesn't see a smile at all.

Dong Niu observed sister-in-law's emotions: "Sister, this is a happy event that you and Qing Zhou have been looking forward to for a long time, why... are you still not happy?"

Daiyu showed a bitter smile: "It's a good thing, but I'm worried about the official's health..."

Dong Niu didn't know so much about the inside story, she only saw the happy event at the moment, so she advised Daiyu: "The official family is a heavenly man, and the dragon's body is naturally safe. You should discuss the marriage with Qing Zhou before it's a serious matter."

Daiyu knew that her sister-in-law had good intentions and was really happy for her, so she didn't say anything more, but she couldn't cheer herself up anyway.

Wang Anyi was about to leave, so he came here to bid farewell to Daiyu.Daiyu took out the gift she had prepared and handed it to her, and told her to take care of herself outside and not to make her brother angry.

Wang Anyi felt very sad, other people's family was still immersed in the atmosphere of Chinese New Year, but her family had to relocate and leave Tokyo. "I really hate to leave..."

"I understand what you're thinking. It's just right to be with your brother and sister-in-law. With your brother's protection, we friends can rest assured." Daiyu reassured, "Don't worry, I will go to Jiangning to see you when I am free. At that time, you have to take me to taste Jiangning's delicacies!"

"As long as you come, you can eat as much as you want. The matter between you and Mr. Lu has finally been settled. I'm afraid I'll be busy with the marriage for a long time, so I won't have time to see me." Wang Anyi was depressed, with melancholy in his eyes.

"Okay, don't think about it, it's a different world when you arrive in Jiangning, you will meet new friends there, maybe you will be happier than in Tokyo!" Daiyu was originally trying to persuade Wang Anyi to be at ease, but she didn't want to let herself go Tears came, and this made Wang Anyi even more sad, so she simply sat on a chair and secretly wiped her tears.

In order to alleviate the two girls' parting worries, Dong Niu specially brought out cakes: "Come on, try it quickly, I made this specially for An Yi, and I will take it to eat on the road later. Good girl, crying flower It doesn't look good with a face!" Then she stepped forward and wiped away the tears of the two people.

Wang Anyi took a piece of pastry to taste: "Sister-in-law, your cooking is so delicious, I will miss you."

Dong Niu: "If you have time, come to Tokyo to find us and live in our house. We will wait for you forever! Don't cry, my good girl."

Wang Anyi's mood eased a little, and she left after sitting for a while. Her elder brother and sister-in-law were still waiting for her.
