Love in the Red Chamber is full of Xiaoxiang

Chapter 44: Wrong Matching Mandarin Duck

These two days were busy with going back to the palace, and Chazhen once again hosted a banquet for the emperor to hold a farewell farewell.

Mrs. Sala was accompanying the Queen Mother at the table, and the Queen Mother was talking about Mrs. Sala's two daughters at this time.

"Your family's two daughters, Aijia, have seen each other, especially the younger one. By the way, Aijia forgot what her name is."

Mrs. Suoluo hurriedly said: "Back to the Queen Mother, the little girl's name is Yunzhu."

The queen mother smiled and said: "It has the taste of Han women, not bad, not bad."

Daiyu and Yongjia's gazes were already attracted by the woman on the stage, and they saw that woman was wearing a red gauze, dancing gracefully.Daiyu had never seen such an exotic dance.The ding-dong sound of the Yueqin echoes the sound of the ring worn on Yunzhu's body.

Daiyu caught sight of Shiheng on the seat next door, tapping on the table with his eyes closed, slowly keeping time with the tune.

Madam Su Luo whispered in front of the Queen Mother again: "What does the Queen Mother think of the little girl Yunzhu?"

The Queen Mother smiled and said: "He is a clever child. The Ai family likes it very much. How old is it, is there anyone?"

Mrs. Su Luo hurriedly said: "This year is only fifteen, and I haven't agreed to anyone yet."

The queen mother nodded slightly: "Such a good girl must make a good marriage, and she must not be spoiled."

As we are talking here, the emperor has already made up his mind and let people see the reward.After the song and dance break, Yunzhu hurriedly bowed her head to thank her.The emperor, Longyan Dayue, stepped forward to personally help Yunzhu up, and then pulled her to sit beside him, holding Yunzhu's little hand tightly and refusing to let go.

This scene completely fell into the eyes of everyone.

Shijin's eyes were already filled with surprise and disappointment, and there was a slight hint of anger.Originally, he planned to ask for an order to bring Yunzhu back after the banquet was over, but unexpectedly the emperor would preempt him.Shijin only felt that there was a fire in his chest, and he couldn't find a place to vent it.

For Shilang, it seems that it has nothing to do with him at all, what he pays attention to is whether the wine in the glass is mellow enough, and how much benefit Chazhen can give him.

Shiheng watched everything with cold eyes, he had already got up, walked towards the emperor's seat with the silver pot in his hand, and toasted with his most respected father.

Chazhen finally breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hands and wiped the cold sweat dripping from his forehead with his sleeves.The tense expression on his face was full of joy at the moment, Yunzhu was just a pawn to him, a weight to win over the powerful.

Mrs. Sala showed a little bit of reluctance and helplessness in her performance.Liu Guiren sat in the dark, frowning slightly, and others couldn't see what kind of expression she had at this time.The Empress Dowager slowly put down the silver chopsticks in her hand, frowned slightly, but held the jade cup tightly, the expression in her eyes was also incomprehensible, there were too many complicated things.

Besides, Shiying and Shui Rong were chatting and joking together, but now the two of them came here, and the emperor also came.

Yongjia and Daiyu got up hurriedly.

The emperor asked with a smile, "Is your mother well tonight, are you enjoying yourself?"

The queen mother said lightly: "The Ai family is still good, as long as the emperor takes care of himself, there is no need to worry about the Ai family's nobles and Yaozheng."

Several other princes also came here. Here, Shiying held the pot, and Shui Rong held the cup, and filled the Empress Dowager's cup with wine.Shui Rong respectfully sent the jade cup to the Empress Dowager, and said with an apologetic smile, "Please use it, Empress Mother."

The queen mother took the cup, looked at the people at the table, suddenly looked at Shiying and said with a smile: "The Ai family has something to ask the emperor to decide."

The emperor hurriedly said: "Please tell the queen mother."

The Queen Mother didn't go around in circles anymore, and said, "The Ai family wants to make a marriage, and now they are looking at a pair of beautiful people, and ask the emperor to make it happen."

The emperor raised his eyebrows lightly, and said with a half-smile, "I don't know which pair of jade people the empress mother is talking about?"

The queen mother smiled and said: "The Ai family wants to ration Miss Lin to our seventh son, what does the emperor think?"

The queen mother's words startled the people at the banquet, and everyone looked at Daiyu and Shiying at the same time.It's just that Shi Heng's eyes are full of injustice, but Shui Rong is looking straight at Dai Yu, his eyes are full of melancholy.

Everyone was waiting for the emperor to speak, but Shiying knelt down first, pulled the queen mother's clothes and begged: "Grandmother, please take back your order."

The queen mother was surprised, and the emperor was also surprised. The queen mother hurriedly stretched out her hand to help Shiying up, and then went to see Daiyu, who also knelt down.She felt that there seemed to be thousands of troops rushing towards her, and she had no intention of defending herself, thinking that I, Lin Daiyu, had no fate, but the April catkins would blow away with the wind after all, and at this critical juncture, she couldn't treat her well. The future has the slightest claim.Your own destiny is always in the hands of others.

The queen mother hurriedly asked Shiying: "Why don't you want to? Could it be that Miss Lin's family is poor and small, and her family is not well established?"

Shiying shook his head: "Grandson has absolutely no such intentions, but grandson doesn't dare to delay Miss Lin, and asks Grandmother to take back her life." He kowtowed again.

The Queen Mother went to see Daiyu again, and asked her slowly, "What does Miss Lin say?"

Daiyu replied with tears in her eyes: "Where a lowly woman dares to climb the dragon and become a phoenix, it is naturally not what the woman wants. Since it is difficult for His Highness the Seventh Highness, please ask the Queen Mother to help His Highness the Seventh Highness."

The Empress Dowager went to see the Emperor again. The Emperor always liked Shiying, and thought that Shiying was a rare talent among his sons. He would have a bright future in the future, and he had already taken a fancy to a good marriage, but the Empress Dowager said such a thing out of it. Seeing that the situation changed too quickly, he said: "Mother, since both of them are unwilling, why not obey once, otherwise the son and minister will also be in trouble."

The queen mother was slightly disappointed, the couple she was looking at did not expect such a result, she went to La Daiyu to get up again, and comforted her: "Good girl, sorry for you to stay with Yaozheng, you Aijia will definitely decide for you."

The empress dowager's affection for Lin Daiyu fell into the eyes of everyone, Shiying let out a long sigh of relief, and Shiheng's uneasiness was immediately withdrawn.

After the banquet was over, Daiyu walked slowly behind alone. What happened tonight was unexpected to her. Although she had a little idea of ​​what the queen mother meant, she always thought that it would not be mentioned until the princess got married. Unexpectedly, she said it in front of so many people tonight, and her chest is still throbbing. At the same time, she secretly rejoiced that His Highness the Seventh Prince did not agree.

As she walked, Daiyu heard someone calling her from behind: "Miss Lin, just wait."

Daiyu stood still and vaguely saw Shiheng coming.

"What's the matter, His Royal Highness?"

Shi Heng said: "I have a few words to say to Miss Lin, I wonder if it is convenient for Miss Lin."

Daiyu said quickly, "Your Highness, please speak directly if you have something to say."

Seeing that it is always inconvenient for people to come and go around, Shiheng said to Daiyu: "Miss Lin, please follow me."

Daiyu didn't know what Shiheng had to say, so she had to follow him.
