[Qing wear + Red Mansions] Guide to the Prince's Pampering Wife

The bridal chamber stopped red candles last night, and waited until Xiaotang to worship uncle.

After putting on makeup, she asked her husband in a low voice, thrush the depth of the eyebrows.

According to the rules, the newlyweds need to meet their elders on the second day of their wedding, that is, the Empress Dowager, Kangxi and Concubine De.

Daiyu got up early, sat in front of the mirror combing her hair and putting on makeup. Yinzuo looked at her and couldn't help but read this poem.

Daiyu's brows immediately frowned. The title of this poem is "Recent Examination on Zhang Ji's Water Department".

Rolling papers was a custom formed in the Tang Dynasty. Because the ceremonial examinations in the imperial examinations were not vague at that time, the examiners not only looked at the test papers, but also referred to the candidates' daily works and reputations when selecting candidates. People with high status, or those who have a particularly close relationship with the chief examiner, can also recommend talents and participate in determining the ranking of the admission list, which is called "general list". ①

Under such an examination system, in order to increase the rank possible, or to strive for rankings, test takers often edit their daily poems and essays, write them into scrolls, and send them to those with status before the exam for recommendation. After that, it becomes a fashion, which is called "Xingjuan", the poems used for running scrolls are called "Xingjuan Poems". ②

This song "Recent Examination on Zhang Ji's Water Department" was written under such circumstances. At that time, Zhang Ji was very famous in the literary world, even comparable to Han Yu, who was famous in later generations, and he was also qualified to recommend talents. So Zhu Qingyu asked him to make a scroll.

So this poem seems to be about a newlywed couple. In fact, the poet compares Zhang Ji to the bridegroom with his wife, and the examiner is his in-laws. It was the poet who asked Zhang Ji whether he could pass the exam.

This poem is not appropriate to use here, Daiyu glanced at Yinzuo, thinking that this person usually reads poems and books just as a perfunctory thing, and now he has exposed it?

She suppressed a smile in her heart, and the shyness and embarrassment of the newlyweds has gone a lot, and she didn't expose Yinzuo, she just joked with a smile: "This poem uses the allusion of Zhang Chang's thrush. Zhang Chang draws eyebrows for his wife every day for decades. It's a good story through the ages, do you want to follow suit?"

Yinzuo spread his hands: "I'd be happy, but I'm really not proficient. It's not good to ruin your makeup."

Daiyu snorted softly, she was just teasing Yinzuo, she didn't really want him to have a thrush, so she didn't force her, but Yinzuo got up and sat down beside her, and said with a smile: "I'll practice thrush well in the future, if I don't now Let's draw with you."

The two sat side by side, shoulders slightly touching each other, even though they were close enough, Daiyu's cheeks were still slightly flushed.

She was embarrassed to look at Yin Zuo, so she didn't know that Yin Zuo also had red ears, and her body was stiff and afraid to move.

Xueyan gave Daiyu makeup, while Yinzuo gave Zhu Ying the eyebrows, and he said with a smile: "Yesterday I not only drew my eyebrows, but also put on makeup, but I'm exhausted, I will definitely improve your face!"

Daiyu wanted to cover her face.

The two of them put on their makeup for a while, Daiyu looked at Yinzuo, and it was actually not much different from usual, his eyebrows were already thick and black and straight, and the shape of his eyebrows was also very good-looking, the fine eyebrows were shaved yesterday In the past, it looked more refined, but today Zhu Ying had almost no room to do anything, she just traced a little at the end of her eyebrows.

Yinzuo looked at Daiyu quite differently. She was born in the Han Dynasty, and it was only in the past few years that she raised the flag. On weekdays, she preferred the Han family's dresses and hairstyles. Comb the delicate little two hair, it is another completely different style.

He smiled and said, "It's pretty."

Daiyu blushed and said: "Let's go, don't ask the Queen Mother, the Emperor and Defei to wait."

Yin Zuo corrected her: "Now you should follow me and call you Mamo, Khan Ama and Erniang."

Daiyu: "..."

Daiyu opened her mouth and said in a soft voice, "Understood."

"Let's go!" Yinzuo took Daiyu's hand and walked out, and Daiyu shook it lightly, "It's not good for others to see."

"Who saw it?" Yinzuo glanced at the palace maid next to him, and everyone immediately lowered their heads and pretended not to see it.

Yinzuo: "Look!"

Daiyu: "..."

Yin Zuo smiled and said: "It's fine in our palace, I'll let go when I go out."

Daiyu stopped talking.

The two went to pay their respects to the Queen Mother first, and the Queen Mother was taken aback when she saw Daiyu, her face was a little ugly.

When the first emperor was in the cold, he only favored the imperial concubine Dong E, so the Empress Dowager was left cold and her dignity was trampled on. What she hated the most was Dong E, and now Daiyu and Dong E are as weak as Liu Fufeng, A little bit of dissatisfaction rose in my heart.

Yin Zuo took two steps forward and hugged the Empress Dowager's arm and said with a smile: "Now that my grandson has Fujin, I just ask her to come and talk with Mama from time to time, so as not to have nothing to do for a long time, and Mama will feel bored."

The queen mother was amused by him: "I'm an old woman, what will her little girl do with me, and besides, she can't speak Mongolian."

Yinzuo pretended to be dissatisfied: "Mama is not old at all! You are the most intelligent, and it is her blessing that Fujin is by your side. Moreover, Fujin has been learning Mongolian since he got married, and now he can speak simply."

"Really?" The old lady looked at Daiyu in surprise.

Most people in the palace spoke Chinese and Manchu. Only the old queen mother was Mongolian, and she was too old to speak Chinese and Manchu. There were not many concubines in the palace who could talk to her.Daiyu didn't need to learn Mongolian, but she learned it on purpose, obviously for the empress dowager's sake, and the empress dowager's impression of her changed immediately.

She said a few words to Daiyu, and Daiyu really answered them fluently in Mongolian.

Daiyu has always been very intelligent, if she wants to please others, she will rarely fail, the Queen Mother talked to Daiyu a few words, and found that this girl looks soft and weak, but in fact she has a bit of a lively temper, which attracts her attention. People like it, which is very different from Dong E's.In addition, Yinzuo is the queen mother's favorite grandson besides the fifth elder brother. His Fujin is always different. The more the queen mother looks at Daiyu, the more she likes Daiyu. When they were talking, they forgot about Yinzuo.

It wasn't until the nanny next to the queen mother reminded the time, that the queen mother suddenly said: "I forgot, you have to go to pay respects to the emperor and concubine De, so you go, don't delay the auspicious time."

Daiyu laughed and said, "I'll talk to Mama again tomorrow when my son-in-law and granddaughter-in-law come."

The queen mother smiled and patted her hand, and greeted the nanny Lan, who was in charge, "Bring the meeting gift prepared by Aijia for Liu Fujin."

The meeting gift has been prepared long ago, it is a set of pearl hair mask, the pearls are round and huge, with excellent luster, and the hair mask is also extremely delicate, one can tell it is a good thing at a glance.

Daiyu didn't refuse, she thanked her and accepted it, and the straightforward look made the Queen Mother like it a little more.

Yinzuo and Daiyu resigned, and after leaving the Ningshou Palace, Yinzuo leaned into Daiyu's ear and whispered: "I just watched, and Mother Lan quietly asked the little maid to change the box."

The box containing the meeting gift has been held by the little palace lady, and Aunt Yuelan saw that the situation was different from what she had imagined, so she specially asked someone to change it.Yinzuo noticed that the Queen Mother was stunned when she saw the pearl inside. Obviously she didn't know it beforehand, but she was very happy after she realized it.

Daiyu wondered, "Why?"

Yinzuo looked at her and said with a smile: "Of course it's because my family Fujin is very attractive. Mama likes you."

Daiyu shot him an angry look: "Which is my fault? You told me to learn Mongolian."

"That also requires you to be smart, to be able to learn. Besides, it's not just because of this that Mamo likes you."

……

The two of them talked and arrived at Qianqing Palace, Kangxi was much more majestic than the Queen Mother, just said a few words and that's all.

Concubine De was very enthusiastic, and when she saw Daiyu, she took her hand: "I have long felt that I am destined to be with you, but it is not convenient to see each other often, but now it is better, and I will come to Erniang's place often in the future, we two said say."

Daiyu naturally complied, talked for a while, and had lunch with Concubine De before they went back to the palace.

At this time, the big wedding festival is almost done, and it will only be a few days in Guining.

Yinzuo smiled and said: "I was tired yesterday, and I woke up early again today. I'm so sleepy, why don't I take a nap."

When Daiyu heard him say "I was tired yesterday", her face flushed and she said angrily, "When will you have a doorkeeper?"

Yinzuo innocent: "What's the matter with me, I was busy with the wedding yesterday, aren't I tired?"

Daiyu: "..."

Yin Zuo chuckled: "It's my fault for teasing you, I must pay more attention in the future, let's go, let's take a nap, I can hardly keep my eyes open!"

I don't know when it snowed outside, covering the solemn and solemn Forbidden City with a soft white gauze. The brazier in the bedroom of the five main halls in Gandong was crackling, and the two hugged each other on the bed, sleeping soundly.

Yinzuo slept very soundly this time, and when he woke up, Daiyu was already awake and was drawing under the window.

Now the bedroom is also equipped with glazed windows, snowflakes are flying outside the window, inside the window Daiyu, wearing a moon-white jacket, bows her head and draws, the white fox fur around her collar makes her face crystal clear like jade, very beautiful.

Yin Zuo was fascinated by watching it for a while, but after a while he came to his senses and asked with a smile, "What are you painting?"

"Such a beautiful scene, so it is natural to paint snow!" Daiyu laughed, "The Forbidden City is majestic, but it has a special feeling when it snows. This is the first time I have seen it."

Yin Zuo looked out through the glazed window, usually when it snowed, it would be cleaned up soon, but today, perhaps because he was afraid of disturbing the master to rest, the snow was not swept away, and the outside was covered in silver makeup , It is really beautiful.

Looking at Daiyu's paintings again, she did not draw sketches today, but ink and wash paintings, which are equally brilliant.

Yinzuo laughed and said, "What's the point of painting here? Why don't you go out for a walk, and see what our palace looks like."

Daiyu hesitated looking at the unfinished painting, Yin Zuo gently tugged at her sleeve: "Go, go, otherwise I'm bored if you paint."

Daiyu: "..."

"Okay." Daiyu put down her pen helplessly, Yinzuo personally took the cloak and put it on her, and the two went out.After strolling around the yard and watching the snow scene in the pavilion for a while, Yinzuo went back to the house because he was afraid that Daiyu would be cold or tired.

He smiled and asked, "What do you want to eat tonight?"

Daiyu thought for a while: "It's best to go with a pot when it's snowing."

"Then eat the pot!" Yinzuo smiled and asked people to prepare.

Not long after, the pot was ready, and the palace servants were ready to invite Yinzuo and Daiyu to have a meal. When the two went over, they saw a table full of various dishes, the soup in the pot was gurgling, and the palace servants were about to go down. After the dishes were put into the pot, Daiyu sat down at the table, pointed at the pot and asked strangely, "Why is the pot split in the middle, and the soup base is different on both sides?"

Yin Zuo chuckled: "I thought the hot pot is the best in this weather, but you can't eat too much spicy food, so I asked someone to make this kind of pot. It has a name, do you want to know?"

Daiyu looked at Yinzuo's expression, but actually didn't really want to know.

But Yinzuo has already said it: "It's called Yuanyang Guo."

Daiyu: "..."
