Love in the Red Chamber is full of Xiaoxiang

Daiyu followed Princess Bei all the way to Xiefang Palace and chatted with Concubine Shun first, Princess Qia Yongchang also came back, and Princess Jianqi was also here.The Seventh Princess talked to Daiyu for a long time.

However, Concubine Sun Guifei, the biological mother of the Seventh Princess, has no power now, and she is always depressed and unhappy.In addition, her elder brother, the third prince Shilang, is now under house arrest. The seventh princess often feels that she can't hold her head up in the palace, and the sisters don't often see each other. Fortunately, the concubine Shun is a kind person and often teaches her.

Daiyu quietly listened to the sufferings of the Seventh Princess, and thought to herself, who would not envy the lives of these princesses, but how many people knew about the sufferings of the Princess?If it were an ordinary family, parents, brothers and sisters, the family would be safe and peaceful, and there would be no need for so many political factors to be involved.

Daiyu sighed: "The princess has the life of the princess, and the daughter of the people has the life of the daughter of the people."

The seventh princess smiled bitterly: "Actually, sometimes I am secretly happy. Fortunately, I am a princess, not a prince."

Daiyu understood what she meant.

Princess Yongchang sent a maid over and said, "Princess Seven, please go to Changchun Palace together."

The seventh princess got up, took Daiyu's hand, and went forward together.

When everyone arrived at the Queen Mother's place, it turned out that many orders had already come here.The queen mother is talking with several concubines and concubines.Seeing Princess Bei, she asked about Dunhui's injury: "Why don't you see Xin'er, is she seriously injured?"

Princess Bei smiled and said: "It's not a big deal, the Queen Mother doesn't need to worry about it. Our princess is ashamed and doesn't want to come out to see people with a gash on his forehead, so I ask the Queen Mother to forgive her for being rude this time."

The queen mother smiled and said, "This child, let's not talk about her."

Seeing Daiyu again, seeing her very elegant attire, remembering the death of the old lady of the Jia family, she nodded and sighed: "When the old lady entered the palace to pay her respects, she had to joke a few words in front of Ai's family. This person is not Yes, it’s really impressive.”

Daiyu replied with tears: "The life span is so long, please don't hurt the Queen Mother."

"When we reached the old lady's age, we didn't know what to do. Speaking of which, she is ten years older than me, and this life is considered to be the end of my blessings." The queen mother was quite emotional.

Concubine Jing smiled and said: "If you want to talk about the two words of blessing in the world, no one can compare with the Queen Mother. Ordinary people can enjoy eight points at most, and the remaining two points can only be enjoyed by the Queen Mother."

After listening to Concubine Jing's words, the Empress Dowager said with a smile: "Today the sixth son can really speak, and I feel very good about it."

Everyone laughed, and the chief eunuch of Changchun Palace came to reply: "Report to the Queen Mother, the time has come."

Concubine Jing and Concubine Shun supported the Empress Dowager, and Princess Yongjia took the sable cloak brought by the old mother and put it on the Empress Dowager.Surrounded by the crowd, they boarded the chariot that had been prepared, and headed to the Qianyuan Hall together.

When they arrived at the place, the emperor personally came to welcome the queen mother to get off the chariot, so she was promoted to the seat.In winter, it gets dark early, but all kinds of lamps have been hung up everywhere, shining like daylight.On the empty stage, various celebration performances have already begun.

Cui Lian came over and gave Daiyu a cloak, and Daiyu turned around and thanked her.Outside the empty hall, the wind was really strong.Daiyu was sitting behind Princess Bei, and there was a small table in front of her, on which was a large box containing only a few colored fruit dishes, a black silver self-pourer, and a banana-leaf jelly-stone cup, which had already been poured. Half a glass of wine.

The performance on the stage was lively, but Daiyu didn't care to pay attention to it.All of them sat upright, looking at the stage with both eyes.The emperor Long Yan rejoiced and applauded.Civil and military officials also followed suit.

After the dragon and lion dance was over, Shi Heng took the initiative to stand up and said with a smile, "I want to present a song to my father and my uncle."

The emperor twisted his beard and said with a smile: "What is my son going to perform?"

Shi Heng bowed slightly, neither humble nor overbearing, with a smile on his face, then took out an iron spring from his waist, and began to play it.

Sitting down, Daiyu had already listened to the song, it was exactly the same as what she heard in the grassland back then, it was majestic, and only someone like the Sixth Prince had a deep heart.

Daiyu heard that the song he played was from Han Yue (Folding Willows), and remembered (Han Yuefu) that there is: "Willows are in disorder, and when they are folded in spring. The leaves are dense and the birds are hindered, and the wind is light and the flowers are late. The city He has tall and short flute hair, and Lin Kong's painted horns are sad. There is no other meaning in the song, and it is for lovesickness." In this sentence, I didn't expect that an ordinary piece of music would have a different momentum under Shiheng's performance.As for Shiheng's accomplishments in temperament, Daiyu has already experienced it.

It sounds even more extraordinary at the moment, but to Daiyu's ears, Shi Heng revealed too many thoughts in this song, and also revealed his ambition not to be left behind, which shocked Daiyu Aren't you afraid of bringing yourself some disaster by showing yourself in front of people like this?But on second thought, this is to celebrate his uncle, the general won the battle, nothing can be overstated.

At the end of the song, the emperor was really happy, clapped his hands and said with a smile: "My son is really extraordinary."

Liang Fang took advantage of this to give Shiheng face, and said with a smile: "It is said that having a son should be like Sun Zhongmou, and His Highness the Sixth Highness is full of knowledge, so talented, I am afraid that Sun Zhongmou can't compare."

All the ministers also echoed, and the emperor smiled: "My loves praise him so much, I'm afraid he will be even more proud." Although he said this in his mouth, there was a trace of doubt in his heart, but of course no one caught it.He was busy ordering people to watch and appreciate it.

Seeing that the sixth son is so useful, Shijin felt uncomfortable for a long time, but he could only lower his face to congratulate Shiheng. Shiyu, who hadn't seen him for a long time, Shiying also came over.

Shui Rong sat in the corner, drinking his own wine quietly, but his mind was full of thoughts. It was already obvious that the sixth child had gained power in the court. Don't get involved, maybe everyone already knows what the future will be like, but they just dare not say it out loud.He has to protect the achievements accumulated by the ancestors of the Shui family for several generations. He dare not say what he has accomplished. He just wants to pass this title to his son in a stable manner, and he doesn't want to think about anything else.

When thinking of the word son, Shui Rong's melancholy deepened, and he was more helpless.Now he is no different from a loner.

Zhongshun Wang Yongze also went along with him. He completely forgot that his nephew was still under house arrest in the mansion, and now he was blatantly planning to form a clique with the sixth prince.

The queen mother said to the concubine Jing in front of her: "The sixth son of your family is really uplifting. The Ai family is very happy to have such a good grandson. There is hope for successors. It would be great if all the grandchildren are like him. Our emperor will also save money." A lot of heart."

Concubine Jing hurriedly got up and filled the glass in front of the Queen Mother with wine, then held it to the Queen Mother herself, and said with a smile: "The sixth son is quite sensible, and it is all taught by the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother has taken care of it, please drink this cup. "

The Queen Mother drank it in the hands of Concubine Jing.

The banquet continues here, and the queen mother is very happy.However, she has always liked the old seventh Shiying, but Shiying's birth is not as good as that of the sixth child, and he lost his mother early. After all, he is so far behind.It's just that I don't know what the emperor's plan is, and he said that he wants a big canonization.What the Queen Mother wanted was to let Concubine Shun take the position of imperial concubine, and make Lao Qi a prince.Do some more activities on your own, let Concubine Shun recognize Lao Qi as an adopted son, and now you have a parentage.These are all the wishful thinking of her lonely old woman, and she can't discuss it with the emperor, because her grandson is on the left and right.Hope they are happy with each other.

The Empress Dowager has not recovered from her serious illness, but she came forward to respond, and after sitting for a while, she was going back to Changchun Palace.Before leaving, she glanced at Daiyu again, Daiyu was full of confusion, and slightly lowered her head.

The festivities continued here, and Princess Seven was as lonely as Daiyu.This scene was changed to a few years ago, everyone's center was their third brother, and the concubine's position in the palace was extremely honorable at that time.It's only been a few years, and I didn't expect it to fail.

Sitting there, Daiyu almost held on until the banquet was over, thinking that it was time to go back to the mansion, it was getting late, but at this moment she didn't know where the princess was.

There was only a snow goose beside Daiyu, and when the master and servant were hesitating, Cuizhu who was in front of the princess came over and said to Daiyu, "Miss Lin, our princess said that the princess will rest at the Changchun Palace tonight and wants to accompany the queen mother." , please go back with the lord."

Daiyu wondered what kind of argument this is, so now she can only say: "Then let it be like this."

Xueyan supported Daiyu and walked southeast, but not far away, she saw Shui Rong standing in a dimly lit place waiting for them.

Shui Rong said: "I heard people say that Xin'er got hurt on his forehead, so I don't know if it's serious or not. This child is really naughty."

Daiyu said: "I heard it's all right, the prince doesn't need to worry too much."

Shui Rong sighed: "How can I not be worried. She is about 15 years old, and she is still the same as before. If she is half as demure as Miss Lin, I will also recite Amitabha."

The bright lights in front of Qianyuan Hall have gradually faded away, and there are two young eunuchs leading the way with lanterns in front.Shui Rong slowed down her pace, afraid that Daiyu would not be able to keep up if she was in a hurry.

Out of a palace gate, out of another palace gate.Daiyu looked up at the sky, it was pitch black and gloomy.Daiyu was a little scared when walking at night, but Shui Rong walked in front, which seemed to bring her great courage. This courage even drove away the cold of the winter night.I suddenly thought in my heart, if I pass through the next door, I can suddenly see a piece of bright lights.

Along the way, Shui Rong didn't speak again until he got on the bus here.Liu'er and others refused to let Shui Rong ride a horse at night, and since there was no spare car, Shui Rong had to share the car with Daiyu.Xueyan and other servants got into the next car.

Daiyu naturally sat in the corner, somewhat reminding her of the night when Shui Rong came to find her back home.Daiyu still didn't open her mouth to speak, the darkness made her timid, thinking to herself, it won't be long, she will be home soon.

Until someone held her hand tightly, that big hand gave her warmth and courage.This warm and real feeling did not make Daiyu withdraw her hand immediately.It also made her heart tremble slightly, thinking to herself that there is a force in the dark night, pulling her forward invisibly, and he has always been in that direction, just where she can see when she raises her head slightly.

Shui Rong spoke: "I'm afraid that Miss Lin, like me, doesn't like the excitement tonight."

But Daiyu replied with mixed feelings: "Go back to the prince, women like it."

"How can we see that such a night, except for this moment, does not belong to us. This belongs to His Highness the Sixth Highness, all the civil and military officials in the court, who don't say a few words of praise. The emperor is also so happy, as if the teacher returned to the court. It’s His Highness the Sixth Prince, there’s actually not much difference.”

Daiyu thought for a while and then said: "Ministers are crude, but they can hear his hidden ambitions from His Highness Six's (folding willows), and a wise person like the emperor can naturally hear it. It is a blessing or a curse. , I don’t know how.”

Daiyu's words stunned Shui Rong, thinking that she is such a clever girl, she could hear the Sixth Prince's ambition from a short piece of music, her voice was a little hoarse: "You and I understand Just do it."

Of course Daiyu knew what Shui Rong meant, who would she tell this to?

Neither of them spoke anymore, Shui Rong naturally had a lot of things on his mind, so he couldn't say a word at this moment.How he wished that the car would keep driving like this, so that he could keep guarding her like this, without doing anything, holding her slender hand and giving her warmth.

The car gradually slowed down, and Shui Rong could already hear Manager Ma's voice.Daiyu gently withdrew her hand back, but her heart suddenly beat violently.Before anyone came to greet him, Shui Rong got out of the car first, and then reached out to help Daiyu, but Daiyu didn't cover her hand.

Shui Rong took it back somewhat awkwardly, just in time Xueyan walked over, walking slowly with Daiyu on his arm.Shui Rong was walking ahead, but suddenly turned back and said to her, "It's getting late, you should go to bed early. I'll go see how Xin'er is doing."

Daiyu subconsciously took a step back, but did not answer.He walked a stone's throw away with the help of the snow geese, but when he suddenly looked back, he was no longer visible.
