Love in the Red Chamber is full of Xiaoxiang

Chapter 37: The Empress Dowager Slightly Shows Her Mind

Concern for Shui Rong and Shiheng made Daiyu a little at a loss, but fortunately, after sleeping for a day, except for a slight cough, other symptoms relieved a lot, and the headache and swelling disappeared.

During the period, the princess asked Jin Xin and Hua Lan to greet her again.

On the second day, Xueyan served Daiyu to drink half a bowl of porridge and a little side dish.After resting for a while, he helped Xueyan go to the Queen Mother to greet her and thank her.

Daiyu and Xueyan came outside the Queen Mother's camp and waited for the maid of honor to pass on the message.It took them a while to let them in.Daiyu went into the tent and saw that the emperor was also here.First saluted the queen mother, and then saluted the emperor.

I thought it was unfortunate that there were many people in the tent.She didn't dare to raise her eyes to look around.

The Queen Mother asked: "Yesterday, I heard that Miss Lin is ill. Is she better?"

Daiyu hurriedly replied: "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your concern, it is already well."

The Queen Mother said: "That's good."

Daiyu retreated to a corner and stood there.Seeing that the two princes Shiheng and Shiying are writing something.Princess Yongjia also sat there with a face of contemplation.There was also a pen and paper in front of Wang Shui Rong's case, and he wanted to write a few more sentences after a while.Seeing the scene, Daiyu thought that the emperor must be testing them, but it was not convenient to inquire.

After a while, Shiying said: "My minister has finished writing." So he presented his manuscript to the emperor respectfully.

The emperor looked at it for a while, with a happy smile on his face, and then sent the manuscript to the Queen Mother, and praised repeatedly: "Please read, Queen Mother, Lao Qi's poems are well written."

Seeing that the emperor was happy, the queen mother also said, "That's fine if the emperor says yes. Aijia doesn't have much skill in poetry."

Immediately afterwards, Shiheng and Shui Rong submitted their manuscripts one after another, but Yongjia was still in deep thought.Shiheng went to Yongjia to have a look, and saw only a few words, and said with a smile: "Why hasn't Fifth Sister finished yet?"

Yongjia had a look of shame on his face: "I never like to chant, after all, I let Brother Six see a joke." The last two sentences are really impossible.Daiyu watched everything quietly, as if it had nothing to do with her.But seeing Shui Rong looking towards this side, Daiyu panicked, and hurriedly moved her eyes away, and looked elsewhere.

Seeing her flustered appearance, Shui Rong had a slight smile on the corner of her lips.

The emperor commented one by one: "Yaozheng is also hard for her. For the remaining two, Lao Liu and Lao Qi, in my opinion, Lao Qi's sentences are better, and the concept is good. The water-soluble one is also good. You three comments Come down, after all, it is the sixth child who is inferior."

Shi Heng is also very modest: "Father Huang is fair, but my son is lazy when it comes to poetry."

The emperor laughed: "It's nothing. Our sons and daughters of the royal family don't need poets or poets. As long as they can do it, it's fine. Now that Lao Qi has won the first place, there should be rewards. Lao Qi just asks, and I will satisfy you."

Upon hearing this, Shi Ying quickly knelt down, and said: "Since the father has spoken, the sons and ministers must be offended and rude. Please also let the eldest brother and the third brother come back."

The smile on the emperor's face gradually cooled down in an instant: "Why are you pleading for them? Could it be that I blamed them wrongly?"

Shiying said resolutely: "My minister has no other request, only this one, please agree to it."

"Okay, old seven, now you have learned to blackmail me."

Shiying hurriedly kowtowed and said, "I dare not."

The queen mother hurriedly came to rescue: "The emperor, the boss and the third child have been thinking about it for a long time, and there is nothing wrong with letting them come together. There are more grandchildren around, and Ai's family also likes it. The emperor is also punished." After being punished, they should also have a long memory. Lao Qi is so filial, the emperor will promise him."

The emperor saw that the queen mother also spoke, so he had no choice but to say: "Okay, I will let them come here. If something happens again, I will not listen to anyone."

The emperor commented on the poems made by the three of them again, each of them was rewarded, even Yongjia was rewarded if he didn't finish writing.Shui Rong looked at Daiyu at this moment and suddenly said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, I heard that Miss Lin is quick-witted, why don't you let Miss Lin make a song too. It will also open your eyes."

When Daiyu heard this, she knelt down and begged, "Your Majesty, Minnv can't compose poems, so I beg Your Majesty to spare Minnv this time."

Yongjia also said: "Yes, I have never seen Miss Lin write any poems in Fengyi Palace. How did brother Shui Rong know that Miss Lin can write poems?"

Daiyu felt that her palms were full of sweat, showing her talents in front of the imperial court, she knew she couldn't do such a thing.She has been living her life carefully, but she doesn't want to have troubles in the future, so she tries to hide it as much as possible.Suddenly hearing that Shui Rong asked her to write, Daiyu felt a little annoyed.

The emperor said: "You are the jewel of Lin Tanhua's family, and you can be regarded as the source of family knowledge. I think that Lin Tanhua was very talented back then, and he had been a salt inspector for several years, and his official style was not bad. I also appreciate it very much. It's a pity that my life is not long. Well, I don't make things difficult for Miss Lin, I also have other things to do, there is a horse race in the afternoon, will the queen mother go to see it or not?"

The queen mother said: "I will not go to Ai's house. But let the children take care of themselves, and must not let the horse be kicked. The emperor is getting old, so don't ride again. Don't dare to have anything happen again."

The emperor agreed one by one.

Kneeling to send the emperor out, Daiyu breathed a sigh of relief.Only the Queen Mother and Princess were left in the camp.

The Queen Mother beckoned Daiyu to sit in front of her, and then took Daiyu's hand to look carefully: "You are so good-looking, Yaozheng, she often praises you by Aijia's side. Aijia also likes it when she looks at it. Come out with me, don’t be afraid to trouble others, just say what you want to eat, if you feel uncomfortable. Just don’t damage your body.”

Daiyu lowered her head and replied yes.

The Empress Dowager laughed again and said: "These days when you are with Yaozheng, the Ai family has seen it. From now on, the Ai family will make the decisions for you." Then she went to see the princess again, and said with a smile: "Miss Yilin With such talent and appearance, Yaozheng said what kind of son should be matched with, so as to be worthy of Miss Lin."

Yongjia laughed and said, "I can't answer that. But I feel that even Miss Lin will look down on ordinary beauties. The emperor's grandmother has found a hard job for herself."

Daiyu felt the enthusiasm on her face rise again, she felt uneasy, and hurriedly said to the Empress Dowager: "Minutes are humble, how can I dare to be so loving as the Empress Dowager. Being able to accompany the princess to read is already a blessing for many generations of empress dowagers." , and invite the queen mother..." Daiyu felt that she couldn't say some of the following words.

Seeing that Daiyu was in a bit of embarrassment, the Queen Mother smiled again: "Okay, Miss Lin, let's go. Ai's family has made a note of this, so I will naturally pay attention to it in the future."

Daiyu bowed gracefully, and slowly withdrew from the camp.

When looking up at the blue sky, it is still so blue and clear, even so blue that it is a bit dazzling.The queen mother's words also confirmed what she said to her aunt before, why she couldn't hide after all.

When she thought that there would always be a few years of quiet life to pass by, unexpectedly the sudden change caught her off guard.Regarding fate, Daiyu thought that she didn't have the strength and courage to hold on to her current position.

After Daiyu withdrew, the queen mother said to Yongjia: "When Aijia said those few words just now, it made Miss Lin look bad. Aijia thought she was pitiful and wanted to be the master for her. In fact, Aijia There is a candidate here at home, and they seem to be a good-looking couple."

Yongjia hurriedly asked: "Who does the emperor's grandmother have a crush on?"

The queen mother said: "I think the seventh child is not bad, and his age is also similar. What do you think of Yaozheng?"

"Seventh brother?" Yongjia was startled.

"Yes, your father praised him just now. Ai's family saw that he was not bad, and he was filial. Although the birth mother's status was not high, she was only a talented person. She was conferred after her death. But our royal son is better than him. The ones outside are pretty good. The Ai family will pay attention to this matter first, and plan slowly after returning to the palace. There is no rush, you have not left the palace yet, and we will talk about it when you are married."

But Yongjia murmured in his heart, thinking that Miss Lin naturally has a bit of arrogance and arrogance, and Brother Seven may not be a suitable couple.This thing is embarrassing.
