Love in the Red Chamber is full of Xiaoxiang

The 21st was Princess Dunhui's birthday, but it was only later that Dai Yu remembered that the Princess and Sister Bao had the same birthday.This year, I met the queen mother who liked her and said that she would celebrate the princess's birthday. Her words made many people flustered.The first one who was reluctant turned out to be Dunhui.

"Empress Dowager, how dare Xin'er ask the Empress Dowager to celebrate Xin'er's birthday. It's better."

The Empress Dowager said: "How could it not be, I have ordered someone to prepare it. I love you so much. Which princess, prince, and grandson do you see me doing like this?"

In fact, what Dunhui thought was that it was because of this that she was not happy to live.

The princess and the princess said: "Princess, please thank the Queen Mother for your kindness, don't be unruly."

Dunhui had no choice but to thank her.

The queen mother was in good spirits, knowing that celebrating her natal niece's birthday would make some people unhappy, but she did it anyway.Concubine Sun had a lot of things to do, and it was not easy for the Queen Mother to bother him, so she asked Concubine Shu to prepare.

The Queen Mother's decision is in the hands of Concubine Shu, and she can take advantage of this to express herself well.Concubine Sun Guifei stole the limelight in the past, but this time she will have to change her face no matter what.

When the queen mother spoke out, concubines, princesses, princes, etc. in the palace sent congratulatory gifts regardless of whether they were titled or not.But there was no joy on Dunhui's face.In her opinion, these are really troublesome. She doesn't like her sister-in-law dragging her to see the things sent by others every day, and to accept the congratulations from those people.

Dun Hui couldn't stay at home anymore, so she ran back to Fengyi Palace to hide and relax.

Princess Yongjia also made fun of her: "I don't understand, many people can't ask for good things. Why do you hide around all day?"

Dunhui stuck out her tongue and said, "What a good thing, it's troublesome. You have to laugh when you see this, and you have to laugh when you see that. I have been tossed by my sister-in-law at home for two days. .Actually, I am not a person who likes to show off. If the queen mother is considerate of me, I will not make such a fuss."

Yongjia and Daiyu said: "Look at her, she is good-looking after getting benefits. I can have such a good life as her. When I am at home, my brother and sister-in-law are in pain, and when I am in the palace, the queen mother is also in pain. I have nowhere to go. Now, you still have to come to us to complain.”

Dunhui came over and said to Yongjia: "Princess sister, your life is really good. How can I compare with you? In the future, princess sister will have her own princess mansion, and everyone will have to listen to princess sister's command. How happy is it?" .”

Yongjia rubbed Dunhui's forehead with a smile: "Well, I'll just pretend that we envy each other."

Daiyu thought to herself that everyone is holding the princess like this, and they often accompany her to relieve boredom and have fun, of course He Yi is indispensable.Daiyu secretly told Xueyan to prepare to leave.

On the 21st, several seats were set up in the side hall of the Empress Dowager Changchun Palace.There is no outsider who is all concubines and princesses, princesses, and princesses.Even the married princess Yongchang rushed to congratulate Dunhui.After the emperor knew about this, he specially prepared a gift for Princess Dunhui in order to please the Queen Mother.

This was also Daiyu's first time participating in a banquet in the palace. Although it was just a simple family banquet, all the guests at the banquet were extremely honorable.When she was invited, she didn't talk to others, she just sat in the corner and ate melon seeds and watched the commotion with cold eyes.

Accompanying the Empress Dowager were Princess Yongping and Princess Yongjia. Among the concubines were Song Meiren and Concubine Jing. Concubine Shun couldn't come because she was unwell, but she also gave gifts early.

Concubine Shu is dressed up today and is going back and forth to say hello.Daiyu looked at her coldly and looked like Lian's second sister-in-law. If such a woman were in an ordinary family, she would be good at managing the house, and she would be able to talk in front of others.

Everyone was waiting. At this time, a court lady announced: "Back to the Queen Mother, Princess Beijing and Princess Dunhui are here."

"It's only after this hour, please come in quickly."

The concubine dragged Dunhui in.The sister-in-law and sister-in-law saluted the Queen Mother first, and everyone met each other again.The queen mother asked Dunhui to come to her: "It's a pity that your eldest sister is married far away and can't come here. The Ai family should love you more, and Quan should love her too." The queen mother didn't see Shui Rong and hurriedly asked the princess: "Rong Why is my son missing?"

The concubine hurriedly reported: "The empress dowager doesn't know, the prince said that there are only women here, and they are waiting outside for the transmission."

"He is also so pedantic, let him in quickly. The Ai family has something to tell him."

Then someone sent a message to the maid on duty.

Soon Shui Rong had come to the front and bowed respectfully to the Queen Mother.The queen mother liked it very much, and said to him: "Shui Xin lost her father and mother early, so it's hard to pull her up for you as brothers and sisters. It's hard to get so big. Xin'er's marriage is still up to Ai's family. Just like you were back then, you must find her a good family with the right family."

Shui Rong smiled and said to Dunhui, "Xin'er, why don't you thank the Queen Mother for your kindness."

Dun Hui said: "Queen Mother, let's not talk about those things today, Xin'er is still young."

"Small, after this birthday, I will be fourteen, not too young. Yaozheng was engaged when she was your age." The queen mother was full of affection.In the past few years in the deep palace, she was most relieved when she had her natal family by her side.

The Empress Dowager asked Shui Rong again: "The Ai family heard about the side concubine in your mansion, why did you finally get pregnant?"

Shui Rong lowered his eyelids and said: "These are all because I didn't take good care of them. It's even more disturbing for me to let the Queen Mother find out."

"Look at what you're saying. Your daughter-in-law was chosen with great difficulty. You have to treat her well. The concubine of your family has met once or twice, and she is tall and strong, but she is not reliable. But Aijia doesn't like her like that, and she doesn't know how to speak. After all, she is not from a wealthy family, which is a bit worse. Your daughter-in-law's illness needs to be treated properly. Wait until there is a good girl, Aijia Keep an eye out for you. Send you two more, there are still too few women in your palace."

The concubine listened calmly, as if whoever came or not came had nothing to do with her.But she was full of hatred for the husband in front of her, and it seemed that he had nothing to do with her, so she smiled reluctantly.

Shui Rong said: "The queen mother cares about this minister, and this minister understands. It's just that there are some things..."

"Why is it possible that you are still not happy!" The smile on the Empress Dowager's face gradually became a little cold, and the princess secretly tugged on the water-soluble clothes.

Shui Rong turned and said: "Today is a good day for Shui Xin, the Queen Mother is celebrating Xin'er's birthday so don't mention anything else."

The Empress Dowager smiled again: "As I said in advance, today is dedicated to congratulate Shui Xin on her birthday."

So he ordered Concubine Shu to greet the seat, Shui Rongyi man is not good enough to stay any longer, and told the concubine a few words before leaving.The queen mother knew that this was embarrassing for him, so let him go.

When Shui Rong turned to leave, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Lin Daiyu who was sitting in the corner desertedly, and nodded slightly to Daiyu.Daiyu was taken aback for a moment, but she didn't know how to respond, she quickly lowered her head.

The haste of Shui Rong's coming and going did not cause any disturbance to the people present, and a few people gathered together.Princess Yongchang dragged Dunhui to their table, and gave her the top seat.Dunhui was so panicked that she dared not take her seat.

The concubine went up and said to Dunhui: "The queen mother is celebrating your birthday today, you are the eldest, sit down."

Dun Hui still felt a little apprehensive.
