Love in the Red Chamber, Drunken Water, Jade Dream

"Prince Bei is the fourth son of the emperor. He has been smart since he was a child and has outstanding talents. He stands out among all the princes. When Concubine Mei was here, he was very respected, almost comparable to the prince."

Sighing, Wen Ning said: "No one can predict what happens in the palace. Four years ago, Concubine Mei suffered a sudden illness and died. Not only the maids and eunuchs of Luomei Palace were affected by this incident, but even the Imperial Hospital executed her. Many imperial doctors, the emperor was furious at that time, almost everyone in the harem was in danger, and the prince of the north was no longer honored and favored. I heard that he suffered a lot of humiliation in the palace in those two years, but His Royal Highness took care of him regardless of past suspicions. Plus..."

"Two years ago, the old prince of Beijing died for his country, and his son who died with him was also seriously injured. Seeing that there was no cure, Princess Beijing did not give up and wanted to fight for joy, but in the end it was... Beijing Prince Jing's mansion was originally poorly populated. Apart from a few princesses in the mansion, there was only one concubine born to the concubine, but this concubine had a hidden disease. He was born when the old prince was guarding the border. When he was born, the imperial physician It was diagnosed that he would not live for 16 years at most, so he could not take on the heavy responsibility of the Beijing Palace. The throne was returned to the second mansion. It should be said that the old concubine was an admirable woman. At that time, I don't know how she did it. A few days later, the emperor decreed that the current prince of the north should be adopted by the north mansion, so that he can keep today this throne."

Daiyu had heard about Chang Ping's life experience before, but now hearing Wen Ning, she still felt a little embarrassed, just like what Chang Ping said, don't look at them as the proud sons of heaven, but how many people can understand the suffering of the empress .

Seeing that Daiyu was silent, Wen Ning said in a low voice: "I also want to remind you that after marrying into the palace, I am afraid that many things will happen to you. The status of Prince Bei in the palace will embarrass you. You won’t give up, sister Yu, you have to be careful, the key is actually the North Prince…”

Without going on, Wen Ning slowly lowered his head, an indescribable look flashed across his clear face, and after a while he said softly, "I hope it's all rumors."

Looking up at Wen Ning blankly, Daiyu said softly: "Thank you for the reminder, second brother, the emperor's order is above, no matter what kind of dragon's pond or tiger's lair is there, Daiyu has no choice."

Wen Ning hurriedly said: "Sister Yu, don't say that. In fact, from what they said, although Prince Bei treats people with a cold look, he still has a good reputation."

With a wry smile, Daiyu's eyes dangled with that piercingly cold gaze of Shui Rong that day, even thinking about it till now, Daiyu's heart still couldn't help but feel a little chill.

Raising her head, Daiyu said to Wen Ning: "Second brother, don't worry, you can't hide from me if you can't offend me, I believe my sister can protect herself." Smiling at Daiyu, Wen Ning said: "Your This temper is much stronger than Sanmei, if she encounters such a thing, she will cry and ask, 'Second Brother, what should I do, please help me.'"

Daiyu couldn't help laughing, and then enviously said: "Because she knows she has a good second brother, she will definitely help him." Looking quietly at Daiyu, Wen Ning's eyes were clear and bright, and she whispered firmly Said: "Sister Yu, if there is anything, as long as you tell me, I will definitely help you."

Called "Second Brother", Daiyu suddenly felt her eyes were wet, she lowered her head to hide, Daiyu said in a low voice: "I remember." With a light sigh, Wen Ning said: "Let the girl Let’s dig a few asters and bring them with you, and putting them in your room will be good for your morning cough, and be careful in the future, don’t borrow other people’s hands to make the medicine, such things are endless in the palace..."

Wen Ning hadn't finished speaking when he saw Du Zhong rushing over to Wen Ning and said, "Second Master, someone came from the palace, saying that the Queen Mother is feeling unwell for a while, please invite Second Master to enter the palace."

Wen Ning responded, nodded to Daiyu and said, "I'll go first, and you should go back earlier, it's cool outside." After speaking, he turned and left, walked a few steps, turned around again, and said to Du Zhong: " Take the medicine mortar back and put it away properly, when I come back to tidy up, and put away those few medicinal herbs, I will use it later." Seeing Wen Ning ordering everything in detail, Daiyu couldn't help but feel a surge in her heart Warm feeling.

"Second brother." Daiyu called suddenly, Wen Ning turned around involuntarily, and said, "Sister Yu, is there anything else?" Looking at Wen Ning with clear eyes, Daiyu smiled calmly and kindly. After a while, he said softly: "Second brother, thank you, and thank you for your letter that day." With a warm smile, Wen Ning said: "As long as you are fine, I have to leave, and the people in the palace are still waiting."

Seeing Wen Ning's clear back disappear behind the rockery, Daiyu didn't make a sound, but just sighed softly, and two lines of poems came to her eyes: "The bright moon in the sea is full of tears, and the sun in Lantian is warm and the jade smokes."

The sky had just dawned, and Shui Rong called out habitually: "Sixth son, change clothes for this king." The sixth son walked in with sleepy eyes, and whispered: "My lord, today is a day for rest and bathing, and there is no need to go to court early."

Ying brows frowned, and Shui Rong said lightly: "I know that I haven't practiced swords for a long time, so I called Shi Mo and Shi Feng to accompany me to practice swords." , walked out quickly, just about to kick open the door of the wing room, when Shi Mo came out neatly dressed, he glanced coldly at Liu Zi and said: "Who is like you so lazy that you want the prince to call you."

Liu Zi spat out a mouthful of water, and said: "You are not the same." Shui Rong took a breath, and said to Liu Zi: "You go and prepare the horses, I will go out of the city after breakfast." Liu Zi responded and left.

Walking back profusely with sweat, Shi Mo said: "My lord's swordsmanship is getting better and better." He snorted softly, Shui Rong didn't make a sound, just raised his hand, the sword in his hand was cold, It pierced deeply into the tree not far in front, and the remaining force behind it made the old tree tremble.

After exhaling, Shui Rong said to himself: "I have sharpened my sword for ten years, but I have never tried the frost blade. If I show you to the king today, who will be wronged." Seeing the six sons running over from a distance, Shui Rong said: "What's the matter? thing."

The six sons said: "My lord, Second Master Bao of Rongguo Mansion is asking to see you."

The six sons looked at Shi Mo suspiciously, but saw that Shi Mo returned an expression of ignorance, and when the two of them were fighting each other, they only heard Shui Rong slowly say: "Let him wait a moment, this king has cleaned up." Just go."

When Shui Rong walked into the front hall, he was already refreshed. The white home-made silk clothes with light sleeves and slow belts wrapped his slender and handsome figure, and the peerless elegance in his gestures made his eyes full of light inadvertently. .

Baoyu stood there quietly, looking at Shui Rong who came in, with a face like a spring flower, there was an indescribable expression, both self-ashamed and helpless, and hesitant.

Taking a light look at Baoyu, Shui Rong said: "Baoyu, I remember that the day after tomorrow is your big day." Baoyu respectfully replied, "Yes, my lord."

With a slight smile, Shui Rong said: "Then I will congratulate you first." Baoyu hurriedly said: "Baoyu thanked the lord." He raised his clear eyes to look at Baoyu, and Shui Rong said: "You have something to ask me ?”

After thinking for a while, Baoyu said, "Baoyu has something to ask the lord." He raised his head thoughtfully, and Shui Rong said slowly, "What's the matter, tell me and listen."

Baoyu raised his eyes to look at Shui Rong, and said in a low voice: "Baoyu's cousin is now the concubine bestowed by the prince, Baoyu thinks..." After a moment of hesitation, Baoyu didn't continue.

Shui Rong glanced coldly at Baoyu, who was hesitating to speak, and then sneered, "This king knows that she is your cousin, but compared to you, Baoyu, your cousin is much more complicated. I am afraid that there is more than one person who is planning to give the marriage, even if this king thinks it is not, but speaking of it, your cousin's scheming is really admirable."

Baoyu stood up all of a sudden, and said a little excitedly: "The prince may have misunderstood, sister Lin will never be such a person." He glanced at Baoyu coldly, Shui Rong's hand on the case trembled slightly, and then remained calm. He said: "Really, you are quite familiar with this cousin, but it's a pity... It's hard to know the heart when you know the face, so how do you know it wasn't her intention?"

Baoyu said anxiously: "My lord must have misunderstood. Sister Lin will never go to such lengths to covet a status. For her, it's too late to hide. Then she will go..."

Snorting softly, Shui Rong teased coldly: "You know her so well, you think that the king will marry an orphan girl who has no family for no reason, and you think that with her status, the emperor can give her a gift?" Conferring the honor of this princess, you think she is involuntary, and her heart is beyond her belly, how do you know what she thinks."

Standing up, Shui Rong said: "Baoyu, if this is what you want to tell me about this matter, then don't talk about it, I have my own ideas about this matter."

Baoyu looked at Shui Rong and said in a low voice: "My lord, this matter must be a misunderstanding. Sister Lin is such a noble and clean person, how could she..." Interrupting Baoyu, Shui Rong said coldly: "Baoyu, this king I said this to you in consideration of our friendship in the past, if you mention this again, then don’t blame me for seeing you off.”

Baoyu raised her head at once, with a look of despair in her eyes, she looked at Shui Rong, and said solemnly: "Whether the prince will be angry or not, Baoyu will finish his sentence today, sister Lin will never be the kind of person that the prince said, She has always been lonely and self-admiring, high and proud, there are so many sisters in the yard, only she never persuaded me to read sage books or take an official career, she said that people who are seeking fame are the saddest, maybe for others, the status of a princess is Noble and admirable, but for Sister Lin, she will never demean herself for the sake of an identity."

Staring at Baoyu coldly, his eyes like water-soluble black jade were full of anger, he narrowed his eyes, and said slowly: "You know her so well, so why did you marry someone else?"

Baoyu said without concealing: "Marriage is a major matter, the empress and the old lady decide, Baoyu can't help herself." Suddenly smiled coldly, the indescribable expression on the water-soluble and beautiful face passed by like a breeze, low He said: "You can't help yourself? You can't help yourself, Baoyu, I just found out today that you are still an infatuated person."

Baoyu said slowly: "Baoyu's words have come to this point, and his mind is over. If the prince has a heart, here are a few volumes of poetry collections, all written by sister Lin. She will never be the kind of person the prince said." Slowly After making a gift, Baoyu said in his heart: Sister Lin, that's all I can do for you.

After saying his resignation, Baoyu turned around and left resolutely, with a somewhat tragic figure from his back without hesitation.

He raised his hand and knocked over the cup on the table, and Shui Rong said bitterly: "If you have a heart, I don't have any heart." The servant girl stepped forward and carefully picked up the broken pieces, looked at the scroll on the table, and said in a low voice: "My lord ,These…."

Without even looking at it, Shui Rong waved his sleeve and said sharply: "Take it away, I don't have the heart to look at it anymore." The servant girl quietly retreated out, and the only sound in the room was the ticking of the pendulum.

Heaving a heavy sigh of relief, Shui Rong still felt a little blocked and astringent in his heart. He reached out to pick up the riding whip hanging behind the door, and Shui Rong raised his voice and shouted: "Sixth son, follow me out of the city."

Riding out of the city on horseback, the wide official road was flat and deserted, Shui Rong ignored the guards behind him, rode his horse and swung his whip, and let the cold wind brush his jade-like face head-on, leaving wisps of coolness.

Turning through the woods in front, there is a flat field in front of you. The frost-stained maple leaves on the roadside have slowly withered. When the rein is pulled, the galloping horse neighs and stops reluctantly.

Looking coldly at the somewhat familiar scenery in front of him, the crooked old tree is still there, and there is still that proud and sharp shadow at the edge of the woods.

Si Mo and Liu Zi from behind also caught up. Seeing this, they stopped involuntarily. Liu Zi couldn't help but look at it and said, "Hey, this isn't the last time we bumped into a car..."

Liu Zi hadn't finished speaking, but he saw Shui Rong turned his head and stared fiercely, choking on the words behind Liu Zi, only heard a crisp sound, and the horse under Shui Rong's crotch swung its hooves away in a hurry.

There were two carriages parked in front of the road. It seemed that the driver was drinking water for the horses. Shui Rong had to pull the reins to slow down. Just as he was about to drive the horses past, he saw a familiar figure coming out from the side of the carriages and said to Shui Rong. : "Mu Lin has met the prince, and it is a great honor to meet him here."

Shui Rong responded softly, and said expressionlessly: "So it's Imperial Physician Wen, yes, I didn't expect to meet Imperial Physician outside the city, I'm really lucky, where is Imperial Physician Wen going?"

Wen Ning still had an unhurried expression, and said softly: "Mu Lin and sister-in-law are going to the Muni Temple not far ahead to offer incense. They walked for a long time, so let's take a rest."

Shui Rong smiled coldly, and said, "Since that's the case, then I won't disturb the doctor's itinerary..." Before Shui Rong finished speaking, he heard a crisp voice: "Second brother, where are you?" What do you say?"

Wen Ning's expression changed unnaturally, and then he said to Du Zhong behind him: "My lord is here, tell Sanmei not to yell." Since the car blocked the view over there, Shui Rong didn't care, seeing Wen Ning at this time His expression was different, Zilai's cautiousness and thoroughness made Shui Rong involuntarily glance towards the car.

Shui Rong riding a horse naturally has the advantage of being condescending. When he glanced indifferently, he saw a few women coming out of the woods beside the road. The expressionless Shui Rong's face suddenly darkened, and his sharp clear eyes looked at him coldly. Glancing at Wen Ning, who was as gentle as jade, he teased in a low voice: "Doctor Wen is really very elegant, the sky is high and the clouds are clear, and the air is refreshing. It's a good time to go out to enjoy the scenery. It seems that it is a coincidence that the king is passing by. .”

Wen Ning said calmly: "My lord was joking, Mu Lin said that we are going to the Muni Court in front of us to offer incense, and it's just a coincidence to rest for a while."

With a soft snort, the address of "we" made Shui Rong's face even more gloomy, pulled the rein, and Shui Rong said: "Then the king will not disturb the elegant mood of Imperial Doctor Wen, and take the concubine whom the king has sealed for a trip, Doctor Wen, you are so courageous." After finishing speaking, a whip light was slammed on the horse's back, and there was a crisp sound, and the horse under him was startled, and galloped away with a long hiss, leaving only one The white back made Wen Ning gently shake his head and sighed, and said in a low voice: "Mu Lin said, they are just my sisters."

Wen Xin stuck out her head from the back of the car, and said in a low voice: "Sister Yu, this is the Prince of Beijing Jing, why is he so fierce, I didn't even look at you when I saw you here, and didn't even ask."

Without making a sound, Daiyu just sighed softly, and said to Wenxin: "Let's get in the car." Wen Ning said with some shame, "Sister Yu, maybe the prince misunderstood just now, that's why..."

Daiyu smiled faintly, and said to Wen Ning: "Second brother is fine, after going through so much, now no matter what is for Daiyu, she can face it calmly."

Wen Xin smiled and said: "Sister Yu, if he dares to bully you after getting married, you can tell the second brother and let the second brother help you vent your anger." Wen Ning smiled helplessly, and said in a low voice: "As long as you understand, you Take care of yourself first."

With a self-deprecating wry smile, Daiyu's misty eyes couldn't help but look towards the distance, where the blue sky and the wild geese going south were gradually fading away, and a stray goose kept whining and wandering behind. , waiting for it may be the lonely shadow's dead end, or it may be...

Daiyu suddenly felt a surge of sadness, she was like this lone goose at this moment, what would be waiting for her in that strange palace in the vast sky.

A mournful cry interrupted Shui Rong's thoughts, and when he raised his head, Shui Rong saw a lone goose hovering in the sky, the weak shadow was just a faint black spot in the vast sky.

Looking at the lone goose in the sky, Shui Rong's clear eyes froze, and suddenly he turned his head and said to Shi Mo who was catching up, "Do you have a crossbow with you?" Shi Mo quickly jumped off the horse and said, "I have it in the horse bag."

After receiving the crossbow, Shui Rong didn't hesitate, squinted his deep eyes, let go of the arrow, and shot towards the lone goose, perhaps aware of the danger, the lone goose stopped wandering and flew forward vigorously, the sharp crossbow left behind it The next sharp whistling sound.

Snorting coldly, Shui Rong put down his crossbow, and said to himself: "Put it to death and survive, if you don't have the courage to sink the boat, you can only wait to die."

The scarlet hijab covered her sight, and the voices of Jia Mufeng and the others were still in her ears. Daiyu stood up calmly, thinking of that unpredictable palace, with that still cold gaze, there was a feeling of wind in her heart. Easy water cold feeling.

Xi Niang said Jiqing's words, but Daiyu didn't listen to a word, just stood there quietly, and for a moment, she only listened to Jiamu's slow voice: "Lin girl, marry and honor the concubine and serve the prince."

Nodding unconsciously, the swaying tassels on the hijab trembled, Daiyu looked at the golden tassels, and couldn't help feeling helpless.

A hand was gently held over, followed by Mrs. Wen's kind voice: "Yu'er, women will pass this test, don't be afraid, it's a pity that we are not destined."

Without making a sound, Daiyu lowered her head gently, remembering Mrs. Wen's words that day, and Wen Ning's concerned and lonely eyes when she was leaving, her hand holding Xipa trembled slightly.

Xi Niang's voice came from outside, Zijuan and Xueyan stepped forward to help Daiyu, and said in a low voice: "Girl, let's go." After shaking their hands respectively, Daiyu felt that she was no longer so lonely in her heart. .

As soon as she walked out of the room, through the tassels under the hijab, Daiyu saw a familiar figure who was short, and Baoyu said in a low voice, "Sister Lin, I will carry you onto the sedan chair."

Slightly stunned for a moment, she heard Jia Mu say, "This is what he should do." In a word, what Jia Mu said was a matter of course, and she was firm, as if she wanted to tell everyone that only Baoyu was Daiyu's elder brother.Maybe Jia's mother didn't expect that after an accident happened in Jia's mansion and she passed away, it was because of her own words that Baoyu was saved from prison.

The distance from the door of the room to the gate of Xiaoxiang Pavilion is not too far, and lying on Baoyu's back, Daiyu recalled the meaningful words of that ignorant Baoyu when she first came: "I seem to have seen this sister somewhere." "Although I've never met him before, but looking at Mian Shan, I feel like I'm an old acquaintance in my heart, and we're far away from seeing each other again today."

Sighing secretly in her heart, Daiyu didn't make a sound through the hijab, but gently slid down two drops of tears.
