Love in the Red Chamber is full of Xiaoxiang

Chapter 23: Undressing the Jade

On New Year's Eve, Daiyu and Princess Yongjia greeted the Queen Mother early in the morning.As usual, many concubines and princesses came here to say good morning.Daiyu saw Concubine Shu kneeling in the crowd at a glance, and yesterday she specially sent some boxes of things, and Daiyu was about to thank her.

The Empress Dowager came out with the help of Concubine Sun Guifei, sat upright on the couch, and said to the people below: "On weekdays, you all respect your family, but it is difficult for everyone to work hard all year round, and you will be rewarded for everything. The things have already been given to you. Sent it off. No need to come to me to thank you again."

Everyone thanked the gift again, and the queen mother would go to the Buddhist hall to offer incense and worship the Buddha.The rest of the concubines withdrew, and Daiyu hurriedly went to Concubine Shu to express her gratitude to her: "Thank you for your reward."

Concubine Shu didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile: "It's not worth anything, just tell me what my sister wants, I can get it for my sister, come with me to Xianning Palace."

Daiyu hurriedly said: "The princess will have orders for a while, so come back another day."

Concubine Shu said: "Sister is always like this. Fortunately, everyone is free during the first month. I will go first."

Yongjia came out and saw Daiyu standing at the bottom of the steps.Yongjia laughed and said, "I forgot Miss Lin and left the order. I have to accompany the imperial grandmother to offer incense later. What is Miss Lin's plan?"

Daiyu thought for a while and then replied: "The girl goes back to Fengyi Palace."

"Okay, you go back first. My aunt and I should still be in the palace, go ahead, I'll be here in a while." Then she asked the little maid beside her, named Yinger, to send Daiyu back.

Daiyu retreated and left the Changchun Palace. After walking not far, she saw a colorful group of people coming towards her, followed by some eunuchs and maids of honor.Daiyu looked intently, and it turned out that it was King Beijing, Princess Wang and Princess Dunhui who came together.It was too late to avoid it, so I had to step aside, waited for them to get closer, and saluted.

Before Shui Rong could speak, the princess went up to greet her first, took Daiyu's hand and said with a smile, "So it's Sister Lin. Where is Sister going?"

Daiyu replied, "Go home."

Dun Hui said: "Very well, I will go back to Fengyi Palace with Sister Lin."

But Shui Rong spoke: "Xin'er is messing around again."

Dunhui looked at her brother and had to give up.

The concubine motioned slightly to Daiyu, who returned with a smile.Shui Rong said: "Xin'er has caused trouble for the girl." On the other hand, he said with a cold face: "Xin'er, come here soon."

Dunhui had no choice but to go over obediently, and they were talking here.But I saw the Empress Dowager coming out in a chariot, surrounded by some princesses and concubines.

Shui Rong and the princess hurried forward to salute the queen mother, and the queen mother said: "The Ai family thought who was talking outside, it turned out to be you. I haven't seen Rong'er for a long time, your wife is good, these days I often visit Ai Home."

Shui Rong hurriedly said: "I ask the Queen Mother to forgive me for my lack of thoughtfulness."

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "What do you mean by forgiveness or not? I just want to go to worship the Buddha. They are all female relatives, Rong'er doesn't need to follow. Your daughter-in-law and Xin'er can accompany Ai's family."

Wang Hao and Dun Hui quickly agreed to follow.Daiyu turned around to go back to Fengyi Palace after the Queen Mother led the crowd away gradually, completely oblivious to the fact that there were people behind her.

After walking a few steps, Shui Rong followed.Daiyu hastily retreated two steps to let him go first: "My lord please first."

Shui Rong smiled: "This king is going to go to the Jiyuan Hall, and I happen to be walking with the girl."

Daiyu supported Ying'er, kept a distance from Shui Rong, and said: "My lord, please invite me first, I'm afraid I might miss my lord's time."

Shui Rong didn't take it seriously, and walked slowly with Daiyu, saying: "There are so many good things in my study, it's hard for Miss Lin to have a discerning eye, and she saw the most valuable one at a glance. Really good."

Daiyu is very humble: "Minnv is dull and blind. It's just that I heard my father mention it many times when I was young, but it's a pity that I didn't get to see it all. It's just that the last time the minnv visited rashly, I invited the prince Haihan."

Shui Rong smiled lightly, appearing unhurried.Daiyu was walking at the back, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Shui Rong's back.Seeing him wearing a green fox cloak, he is tall and tall, with vigorous steps.Daiyu obviously couldn't keep up with his footsteps, and the distance between the two became farther and farther.

The floor tiles of the imperial palace are the same as other places, but they are smoother.It's just the cold wind, after all Daiyu couldn't stand the wind, and suddenly coughed several times.

When Shui Rong heard this, he hurriedly turned his head to look, and it turned out that the two of them had fallen so far away.

Seeing that Shui Rong suddenly folded back again, Daiyu was slightly surprised, waved her hands and said, "My lord, please, the girl is fine."

"It's freezing." Shui Rong took off his cloak without saying a word, and handed it to Ying'er beside Daiyu, asking her to put it on for Daiyu.

Daiyu hastily declined and said: "My lord, this can't be done." She raised her face to meet his gaze, and didn't dodge it for a moment.Shui Rong smiled, his expression seemed gentle and calm, and he heard him say: "What can't be done, be careful not to freeze." After speaking, he strode away.

Ying'er hurriedly put on the cloak for Daiyu, and it immediately warmed up a lot.Daiyu sniffed a faint fragrance on the cloak, thought it smelled good, but couldn't name it.

Ying'er said again: "This Prince Bei is really kind to people, he is really caring. Girl, let's go back."

Daiyu saw that Shui Rong had gone far away, and she couldn't go forward to return it to him.Then turn left and walk towards Fengyi Palace.

There were a lot of court ladies and eunuchs standing around the stove to keep warm and talking under the corridor. Seeing Daiyu's return, Xueyan rushed up to greet her: "Miss is back, why don't you see the princess?"

Daiyu said: "The princess is accompanying the queen mother. What are you making, it smells good."

Lian Xin smiled and said, "The taro is being roasted."

Daiyu didn't care about them either, and went back to the house by herself.Xueyan hurried up to serve, and took off Daiyu's cloak again, feeling a little strange: "Young lady didn't wrap this around when she went out, why did she have an extra one when she came back?"

Daiyu hurriedly said: "Go quickly to the Jiyuan Hall and return this to King Beijing, and thank you for me. It's important, go quickly."

"Okay, so that's what happened." Xueyan rolled up the cloak and went out.

Lian Xin hurriedly brought up a cup of bird's nest pear juice: "Miss, she went out early today, so she forgot to drink this."

Daiyu said: "Put it there." The room was warm, so Daiyu took a book from the bookshelf to read, and after flipping through a few pages, she still felt that she couldn't read it.Thinking about the cloak again, there was really no air of a prince.It is really rare to be able to take the initiative to take off the clothes under the body to protect yourself from the cold in the windy weather. This kind of meticulous care is really rare.Daiyu was naturally grateful, and wanted to thank her again when she met her in the future.

Seeing the narcissus in the jade strip under the window, they are spit out in threes and fives quietly. The colder the weather, the better the flowers bloom.Inadvertently recalling the princess's words, she looked coldly at the two of them, both of whom had good temperaments, why they couldn't live peacefully when they met together.Could it be that the crux of the problem lies in the princess's body, because she is infertile, so she despises her.If this is the case, he is also the same character as Lian's second brother, and there is nothing to recommend.

Not long after, Xueyan came back, and seeing that her hands were empty, she knew that she had sent the cloak back.

"It's so cold, it looks like it's going to snow."

"Did you say thank you, what else did the prince have to say?"

Xueyan smiled and said: "I didn't see the prince, it was for the attendants around the prince, thank you for the girl."

"That's good." Daiyu didn't think too much about it.
