Love in the Red Chamber is full of Xiaoxiang

The spring curtain of February was just lifted, and the warm wind drove away the cold of a winter.The warm sun quietly dyes the willow branches green and blows the peach blossoms red.

The princess was sitting under a peach tree, and the flowers on the branches were in full bloom.She is holding a flower basket in her left hand, and holding a colored thread in her right hand, and she is threading a needle and thread on a white silk with a pattern drawn on it.I saw slender jade fingers, light and dexterous, and the patterns drawn were very lively and lovely.What was embroidered was neither a butterfly nor an auspicious pattern. It turned out to be a horse.

The princess is excellent at embroidery, but she hasn't used needlework for a long time.This is the first time to enter the palace.

Nanny Hu and Cui Zhu stood below, Cui Zhu couldn't bear to see the concubine's concentration.These days, the princess' condition has worsened, but she doesn't care at all.At dusk yesterday, the second master came and had a big talk with the princess, except for the two of them, no one knew what the conversation was about.But since the second master left, the princess seemed to be a different person, she didn't read the scriptures, she didn't talk to the people around her, she just stared at the embroidered screen in a daze.

Cuizhu thought to herself that the second master and the princess must have confided in the past, and the princess knew the truth.It seems that the truth did not relieve the princess.Cuizhu watched from a distance for a while, when a gust of wind blew.The flowers on the tree were falling one after another, like a drizzle.

The princess stopped her needlework, and she brushed off the petals that fell on the embroidered cloth. Suddenly, she felt pain in her heart and sweetness in her throat, as if something was about to come out.The concubine didn't care about her body any more, she wanted to continue the work with the needles, and after two or three needles, the discomfort in her throat came back.He held his chest and paused for a while.

Seeing this, Cuizhu hurriedly stepped forward and said with concern: "Madam, it's windy. Let's go back."

The princess looked at the spring in front of her and sighed in her heart: "I don't know how many times I can see the falling flowers. I didn't expect this life to be so short. I don't have time to look back. What can I say? It turns out that this is also a lifetime." The concubine's face was slightly flushed, and she showed a weak smile.

Cuizhu listened to Wang Hao's words, every word was an ominous sign.He didn't dare to think about it in detail, so he hurriedly persuaded him: "Your Majesty is still sick, don't think too much. Please be careful."

The princess coughed violently twice, and Cuizhu hurriedly handed over a handkerchief.The concubine coughed for a while again, Cuizhu patted her back lightly, and Madam Hu came over and said, "Ma'am, let's go back. It's getting cold again."

Nan Qing brought people in through the garden gate, and the princess got up slowly.Just now she seemed to see a ray of red in the handkerchief, but the princess looked very indifferent, as if it didn't matter anymore.

The princess glanced at this lonely spring garden with infinite nostalgia, and there seemed to be reluctance in her eyes.So he helped Nanny Hu and walked slowly towards the gate of the garden.

Nan Qing led people to stand on both sides respectfully, and then took the initiative to help the princess: "The weather is fine today, and the flowers in the garden are also blooming well. Why don't you sit down for a while longer, Your Majesty."

The princess walked slowly, and she seemed unable to listen to what the people around her said.

When she returned to the house, she no longer had the heart to embroider horses, and her body was as limp as a ball of cotton.Nan Qing was still flattering her, the princess felt that the commotion was a little unbearable, she waved her hands and said, "Go down, I have nothing to do here."

Nan Qing said: "Your Majesty has to take care of it too. This illness has been going on for a while. People in the house are uneasy, and you have to rely on your Majesty to come out to support the situation."

The concubine turned over and said coldly: "Go. I know you wish I could die. Don't worry, it will be soon. Just don't get too complacent."

When Nan Qing heard this, her knees softened, and she quickly fell to her knees: "Your Majesty's words really made this concubine feel ashamed. I sincerely hope that your empress is well, so how dare I curse my empress at all."

The princess waved her hand.Cuizhu came up and said: "Please go back first, the side concubine, there are servants here, even if it's not good, there are also imperial doctors to take care of it."

Nan Qing felt annoyed, but she had no choice but to take her away with her.

The princess lay on the couch, awake for a while, and fell asleep for a while.The plum blossom incense made by Princess Shouyang is burning in the large four-legged censer on the ground, and there is soft smoke hanging like smoke.Suddenly the princess seemed to wake up from a nightmare, and hurriedly shouted: "Cuizhu! Cuizhu!"

Cuizhu hurried over and asked, "What orders does your empress have?"

The princess wanted to get up: "Go to Qixia Courtyard and get Miss Lin, I have something to say to her."

Cuizhu quickly agreed: "Okay, let someone invite you. Is the empress going to get up?"

The concubine felt that her body was getting weaker and weaker, and she couldn't move, so she gasped and said, "Let's just lean like this."

Cuizhu hurried out, called a little girl, and told her to invite Daiyu.Then he came in to serve again, only to see Cui Lian holding a bowl of ginseng tea for the princess to drink, the princess shook her head: "Bring that white water and I'll have a drink. I'm very thirsty."

Cui Lian asked Wu Hua to pour half a cup of white water.Cui Zhu stepped forward to take a look, and saw that Wang Hao's cheeks were flushed, she hurriedly touched her forehead, it was very hot, and exclaimed: "Your Majesty, you have a high fever again, you should go to bed and cover yourself, and you will sweat. "

The princess left lazily, as if it was nothing important, drank the water and continued to lie down, and then urged people to invite Lin Daiyu.She opened her eyes slightly, watching the sparse light coming in from the window fall on the soft smoke, as if she remembered her appearance when she was still at home.The same dresser, the same clothes, the same golden hairpin and jade hairpin, suddenly looking back, it turned out that she had missed it.

"Miss Lin is here." I don't know which girl passed the sentence.

The concubine wanted to get up, Cui Zhu supported her body, Cui Lian hurriedly propped up two big pillows.Daiyu has come in after lifting the curtain.

"The daughter of the people please greet the princess."

The princess stretched out her hand: "My good sister, come here. I'll talk to you."

Seeing this, Cuizhu hurriedly moved an embroidered pier painted with gold and placed it in front of the bed.

Daiyu took her seat and looked at the princess's face again, it seemed that she was worse than yesterday.

The concubine said to the maids: "Go down, Miss Lin and I will talk for a while alone."

Cuizhu and the others were worried about the princess's body, so they had to retreat.

The concubine looked at Daiyu's face for a long time before saying: "The first time I saw Miss Lin, I felt like a good match. At that time, I only saw Miss Lin's good looks, but I didn't know that Miss Lin's personality was even more painful, and made me feel so happy. People are pitiful. My life has been wasted like this, and my sister's youth is just right, so don't let her youth down."

Daiyu lowered her head slightly, thinking why did the princess tell her this?About the princess, she had roughly heard people talk about it, and the princess has been wasting the past few years.Now that the misunderstanding between her and the prince has been resolved, she can let go of everything.Daiyu was happy for this in her heart, but the hidden melancholy surfaced quietly.Then he explained to the concubine: "Your Majesty, take care of your illness with peace of mind. I heard that the prince has not eaten or slept well for several days because of your empress's illness."

The concubine smiled lightly and said: "The only person I've ever felt sorry for in my life is him. He is indeed a good man, and it was all because of me that caused him to suffer so much. If I can go back to the beginning..." The following words The princess didn't know what to say, if she could go back to the beginning, she would not enter this door.

Daiyu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, fortunately there is still time for everything."

The princess smiled weakly, and said after a long time: "The butterfly always hangs in the dream of a lonely pillow, and the phoenix does not sing on the broken string. My second brother said that I recognized the wrong person, and why was I wrong. In the spring when I was 14 years old, I was playing in the garden. Brilliant kite fell into the garden. Later he came into the garden to take the kite away, probably this bad relationship was formed at that time. No matter what kind of person he is, I have never regretted it in this life. His horse is still there There, people left early. Once in a dream, he told me that he had gone to a distant place, riding his favorite horse. I asked him why he didn’t take me away, and he said that one day he would Come pick me up." The concubine glanced at Daiyu again, then looked out of the window and said softly, "I think he's coming soon."

Daiyu felt heartbroken when she heard this, and she began to wonder if the princess's life was worth it for such a man?When she saw the satisfied smile of the princess, she already had the answer in her heart.She glanced at the embroidered screen, and the running horse on it was still vivid.Daiyu thought to herself, that person has always lived in the heart of the princess and has never gone far.

The concubine said again: "Of course I can't forgive the lord in this life. After I leave, please ask my sister to take good care of him for me and repay the debts I made in this life. I will repay you in the next life."

Daiyu couldn't bear it anymore, she turned her face away and quietly wiped away her tears, her throat was so choked up that she couldn't speak a word.

The concubine stretched out her hand to hold Daiyu's hand tightly, and called out: "My dear sister, you must remember my words. Otherwise, even if I leave, it will not be safe." She looked at Daiyu expectantly.Daiyu couldn't express her opinion, so she could only sigh: "Your Majesty, take good care of her. Where can I get to this field? The days to come will be long. How many people in the world do not envy Your Majesty's blessings?"

The concubine let go of Daiyu's hand, and sighed softly: "You just said the same thing. Silly sister, the fate between you and the prince is just like mine and him. I can't escape it in this life. I have never seen the prince care so much. It's your blessing to have a girl. I entrust you with my last wish. Please remember it."

Looking at the begging gaze, Daiyu couldn't bear it, and was afraid of disturbing the concubine's rest, so she nodded her head and comforted her: "Your Majesty, please rest. Minutemen don't disturb your empress' rest."

The princess showed a satisfied smile: "You go. Take good care of it."

Daiyu walked out of this oppressive room while wiping away tears, feeling uncomfortable with a lump of cotton stuck to her chest.The steps also became heavy in every possible way, as if muddy.After walking for a while, she looked back at the princess's window, and then changed the screen window, and the plantains under the window also grew new leaves.The garden is surrounded by green and lush greenery, and the spring is gradually blooming. Why can't the princess get out of her own world and imprison herself in a small corner.

Daiyu couldn't help thinking again, why isn't she like this?
