Love in the Red Chamber is full of Xiaoxiang

Nan Qing greeted and took a glass gauze screen and placed it in the room. The princess looked at it and quickly ordered: "Be careful, don't break it. The prince is very precious."

Nan Qing smiled and said, "That's right, we don't entertain guests, and we don't celebrate festivals, so we put them in the warehouse and lock them up. How can we use them?"

The concubine thought to herself, usually they live separately and don't eat together, so it's useless to leave this thing for nothing.

The nanny hugged Shui Cheng tightly, for fear of accidentally breaking the screen.Concubine Side hurriedly asked: "Why haven't the lord and princess come back at this time?"

The princess asked the maids to go forward and wait.

Nan Qing said with a smile: "I will go and have a look. I think the prince will be back soon, maybe the sedan chair has already entered the mansion."

Nan Qing's courteous appearance did not impress the princess, she sat in the chair with her expression still indifferent.Daiyu sat aside and looked at the window lattice, not talking to anyone, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Before Nan Qing walked out of the gate, Shui Rong and Princess Dunhui came back together.Everyone in the house got up.

Shui Rong came into the room and took off the cloak on her body, Nan Qing took it smoothly.

"My lord is finally back, let everyone wait."

Shui Rong said: "Something has delayed me for a while." The sky gradually darkened, and it will soon be completely dark.

Dun Hui saw that Nan Qing was not pleasing to the eye, so she didn't greet her, but threw herself into the arms of the princess.The concubine stroked her hair lovingly, and said with a smile, "I'm drinking outside again."

Dun Hui's face was still burning, and she still smelled of alcohol.Sticking to the princess again, she yelled to her sister-in-law one by one, very affectionately: "Sister-in-law, I only drank a few sips. Originally, I can't hold alcohol well, but the queen mother said that I can't drink, and those princesses and sisters are helping me, so I have to do this." Yes. I really didn’t drink much, but my brother should have drunk a lot. Sister-in-law, why don’t you ask my brother.”

The princess glanced at Shui Rong, but ignored him.Shui Rong just rushed back from the outside, feeling cold all over his body.The maids rushed to hand over the water-soluble hand stove, and put a bowl of hot tea on the small table in front of them.

When Shui Rong entered the room, he saw Daiyu standing there, and he hadn't seen her for many days.What I said to her last time, I don't know if I was angry with myself because of this, but it was a bit reckless to say it. I think she was so sensitive and weak, so it scared her after all.But I don't regret it, I should let her understand my thoughts.Seeing that she was well dressed, the rest didn't pay much attention to it.

Sitting at the bottom of the table, Daiyu was already very uncomfortable, she leaned slightly, and said nothing.

The princess is a sensible person, and she has seen the situation of the two of them clearly.

Dunhui went to Daiyu again and said to Daiyu, "Sister Lin, let's go into the palace together in a few days, okay?"

Daiyu was taken aback and asked hurriedly, "What am I going to do in the palace?"

"The Queen Mother said that she wanted to see Sister Lin and Sister Princess. She also said that she hadn't seen her for a long time. Everyone should have a good talk together."

What Daiyu wanted to say, the princess smiled and said: "That's right, Miss Lin should also go to the palace for a walk, and she doesn't go out much every day, for fear of getting sick from boredom."

Seeing that Shui Rong was here, Daiyu didn't want to say much, but Shui Rong who was sitting on top of her didn't speak, she just sipped her tea quietly and frowned slightly.Seeing Shui Cheng here again, he called him to the front, and said to the concubine side: "After the first month is over, I should send Cheng'er to study for a few days in a serious way. It's not a solution to waste like this."

The concubine side smiled and said: "The prince is very worried. The old prince left early, so he can only worry about it."

Shui Rong looked at the only younger brother, who looked a bit like his old father, and suddenly something touched his heart.He patted his head again, and took out a waist knife a few inches long from his waist.The scabbard scabbard inlaid with mother-of-pearl is extremely gorgeous and exquisite.Shui Cheng fell in love with it immediately.

The nanny looked flustered, afraid that Shui Cheng would hurt herself.

Shui Rong patted him on the head and smiled, "We Shui family's sons must not forget their roots. I hope you will grow into a man of indomitable spirit. Although my father didn't see it with his own eyes, he must know it and be happy."

Shui Cheng understood the elder brother's words, nodded repeatedly and said, "Don't worry, brother, I've remembered it." Listening to his tone of voice, he sounded like an adult, which made everyone in the room laugh.

Shui Rong looked at his younger brother who was only six years old, and vaguely saw what he looked like when he was a child, when his parents were there, and he suddenly felt a little emotional in his heart.

At this time Nan Qing came over and said with a smile: "My lord, dinner is ready, please go over and have dinner together."

Shui Rong got up and walked ahead, Nan Qing rushed to help her, but Shui Rong broke away from her hand.Daiyu was at the end of the line, and such a family reunion day added a bit of desolation to her heart.Last year, I had a conversation with my aunt in Fengyi Palace, but when I came here this year, the situation didn't seem to have changed much.

After bypassing a screen, everyone went to the hall, but Shui Rong saw three tables and chairs on the ground, and hurriedly asked: "How do you sit like this, the rest should be removed, put that big round table out, and everyone sit around Isn't it good?"

When the princess heard about it, someone came to change it again.Nan Qing came over to arrange the seats, and then arranged Daiyu to the bottom seat, Daiyu felt that she could do whatever she wanted.But Dunhui wanted to come and pull her to sit with him.

Daiyu saw that if she was sitting next to the princess, there would be only one person away from Shui Rong, so she didn't want to go up to the front, she hurriedly got up and said with a smile: "The princess doesn't need to greet the women, it's fine here."

Dun Hui said: "Sister Lin is just like this. She eats at the same table and is not a common girl. I won't be happy if this happens again, will you, brother?"

When Shui Rong heard Dun Hui's words suddenly, he was taken aback for a moment, then smiled unnaturally: "Xin'er makes sense."

Dunhui said again: "No one here has ever dared to look down on Sister Lin, only those who have evil intentions will do so. Sister Lin, don't care about those people."

Shui Rong still doesn't know what Dun Hui is talking about, but the princess and the others know it well.Nan Qing's face was even worse when she heard this, so she had to forcefully come out to deal with it.

Shui Rong said to Nan Qing: "You come and sit down too, girls, don't be too busy."

Daiyu didn't change seats, and it would be nice to sit here far away, but Shui Rong was sitting opposite, so she was somewhat uncomfortable.

The maid came over and poured Tusu wine for everyone.This is a custom on New Year’s Eve. Every New Year’s meal must have Tusu. It is said that it was originally created by Hua Tuo. It added: Atractylodes macrocephala, Fangfeng, Aconitum, Aconite and other medicinal materials, which can benefit the temperature and yang, and dispel wind and cold.Daiyu doesn't like this kind of wine, she always feels like drinking medicine, but since it's a custom, it can't be avoided.

Drinking Tusu wine is different from other wines. It is drunk from the youngest.Therefore, everyone at the table stared at Shui Cheng, and Shui Cheng didn't like it either. After several times of persuasion from the nanny, he took a sip, and immediately coughed several times due to choking, and his face flushed.Then came Dunhui, but Dunhui declined: "Sister-in-law Cai also said that I shouldn't drink, so let's avoid it this time."

The princess hurriedly said: "It's just a ceremony, and a small sip is enough for you."

When Dun Hui heard that she really only took a sip.

Next was Daiyu. Holding the wine glass, Daiyu took two small sips, and immediately felt her heart pounding and her face burning hot. The taste was even worse than the medicine she usually drank.Fortunately, there is no gaffe.

The people behind also drank, only Shui Rong and Nan Qing's cups bottomed out.Shui Rong could bear the smell of medicine, while Nan Qing was good at drinking, so naturally he didn't take this seriously.

After drinking Tusu wine, I immediately had peach soup.Then came the food.

The people at the banquet were eating the food and wine quietly, except for a few childish voices that Shui Cheng occasionally uttered, which made everyone laugh, and did not say much about the rest.

Daiyu thought to herself, after all, the New Year here is not as crowded as in Rongguo Mansion. Among other things, it is just Sister Feng's mouth, which makes the table look lively, who doesn't like it, who doesn't love it.

The New Year's Eve dinner was well-behaved, and the banquet was withdrawn immediately.Nan Qing came up and said that she had prepared a play.

Daiyu said she wanted to go back to her room to rest, but Dunhui held her down and said with a smile: "What is Sister Lin in a hurry, it's rare for everyone to get together, why don't we talk and laugh together?"

The concubine also said: "The princess is right, Miss Lin usually doesn't go out to watch a movie before going to bed."

Daiyu thought it was not good to leave immediately, so she had to stay for a while.Everyone was sitting on the porch, and the stage was set in the courtyard, only the sound of gongs and drums was heard, and it really became lively.

It was rare for Shui Rong to watch a few plays quietly with his family. He took the play book and ordered an auspicious play, so he handed the play book to the princess, but the princess asked the concubine to click one, and handed it to Dai Jade hand.But Daiyu asked Dunhui to order, and Dunhui ordered "Three Dozens of Bone Essence".Then the concubine clicked again, but Daiyu still didn't click.

Immediately after the gongs were sounded to start the play, there was another cloisonné enamel lampshade in front of each seat, and a red candle was lit, the light seemed a little dim.On the other side of the stage, dozens of palace lanterns with horns were hung, shining brightly like daytime.

Shui Rong said: "Today's arrangement is rather interesting."

The first one to sing is the water-melting point by Zheng Xuzhou (Jade Jue Ji).

Daiyu felt strange, this play is famous for its diction, which is not suitable for such a lively scene, why he chose this one.Daiyu glanced at Shui Rong puzzledly, and happened to meet Shui Rong's gaze, Daiyu hurriedly avoided in panic.

At this time, the sonorous libretto sounded in my ears, and I could only hear: "Several trees hang down and hide the painted bridge, and the water in the West Lake does not flow through the tide. The warm wind makes the tourists drunk, and how much gold is sold here..."

Sure enough, the libretto is different, and the parallel sentences are continuous, which is different from the beautiful and delicate of the Peony Pavilion.After singing a word, Daiyu admired in her heart.

The part of (Appreciation of Flowers) in (Jade Jue Ji) is being sung on the stage, Shui Rong feels that many of the libretto are very beautiful and worthy of careful savoring.

When you hear: "Wei Wei, Rui Rui, Tingting curls up, and Fu Rui reflects the water." I think these three sentences are the most appropriate to describe Daiyu.Feeling it in his heart, he raised his head and glanced at the direction where Daiyu was sitting, but saw that her eyes were on the stage, her expression focused.

Shui Rong recalled a lot of things in his mind, it seemed that he had never seen her smile for real, and wondered when he would be able to open her heart.

While daydreaming, Liu'er came over and whispered to Shui Rong: "My lord, Duan Wang's mansion has sent someone to deliver couplets."

Shui Rong said: "I have to go for a meeting." Then he got up and left the table.

The concubine didn't know that Shui Rong had left the table, but when she remembered to look in that direction, she realized that the seat was already vacant.She didn't take it seriously either.

Shui Rong came to the front hall, but saw the chief eunuch of Duan Wangfu, Ma Rong was talking with him, when Shui Rong came, the chief of Duan Wangfu hurriedly got up and saluted, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Prince Bei. good luck."

Shui Rong liked it after hearing it, and was busy looking at it, and then asked: "How is your prince?"

The head of Duanwang's mansion said with a smile: "Prince Bei is thinking about it, my lord is very good."

Shui Rong said again: "There is nothing to do in the first month, you should move around more. You go back and tell your prince that I will visit." In fact, there is Manager Ma to help greet such a scene, Shui Rong doesn't need to come out in person, but he feels a little bit uncomfortable.He drank a lot of wine at noon, and drank a few glasses when he came back. His head was a little heavy, but he didn't dare to rest.So it's good to think about going out and walking around.

He didn't care about where the previous opera was sung.And cousins ​​from the same family came over to congratulate each other.Water-soluble is indispensable to socialize again.Then he went back to his room and added some clothes.

Seeing that the moon was guarding the inside and outside of the house, Shui Rong stepped forward and said with concern: "It's so lively outside, why don't you go?"

Xiyue said with a smile: "The fire inside and outside here must be guarded by one person."

Shui Rong said: "It's all empty, you still guard it, like this every year, you still have a bit of loyalty." Seeing that she was wearing few clothes, she hurriedly said: "Don't freeze." On the edge of the kang again Sitting on the bed, Xiyue thought he was just coming back to get a piece of clothes and left, but she sat down and rushed to bring a bowl of tea.

Shui Rong saw that Xiyue had been by her side diligently for many years, and he had never heard a word of complaint from her, and she always showed a kind of peace in dealing with others, but he heard many people praise her.Then he took off a palace-made purse on his body, which contained two pairs of gold and silver locks, and gave it to Xiyue.

Xiyue hurriedly said: "The servant has already got it, the prince can keep it."

"Here you are, just take it." Shui Rong sat down and ate tea.

Xiyue waited on her below, thinking that it was like this every Chinese New Year, and she had already gotten used to it.I thought to myself that the mansion was still lively when the old prince and the old princess were there. Since the princess entered this door, it has become somewhat awkward. The husband and wife are not reunited and still live their lives separately. What does this sound like.Now the prince doesn't even want to go to the concubine's place.Xiyue looked distressed and anxious, but she didn't dare to persuade them, for fear of offending the masters, she only served them cautiously.

The tea bowl in front of Xiyue has been refilled twice, and Shui Rong has already read most of the book in hand.I don't know where the play over there will end, and he has no plan to go there again.

I just read the book for a long time, and felt that my head was heavy, and I didn't dare to rest.Xiyue repeatedly urged him to go out for a walk, so as not to get sick from boredom.

Shui Rong put on a black fox cloak and went out.Walking through the corridor of the covered building, and circled around again, suddenly saw a woman standing under the tree.It was so hazy that he couldn't see clearly, Shui Rong hurriedly asked: "Who is it, who is standing there?"

But the woman turned around quickly, knelt down quickly, and begged for mercy: "I disturbed the prince, the slave deserves death."

It turned out to be Chun Hua, the concubine in his room, and he hadn't seen her for many days.Why did she come to this corner to secretly wipe her tears on New Year's Eve? Could it be that there are still people in the mansion who have wronged her?Seeing her panicked appearance again, Shui Rong couldn't blame her anymore, so she said calmly, "Why didn't you see you at the banquet just now?"

Chun Hua wondered what kind of person she was, and who in the house still remembered her.It just so happened that her brother passed away last month, so she couldn't help feeling sad.

Shui Rong stood for a while and then left, leaving Chun Hua to continue sighing.

As for Chun Hua, even though they were Shui Rong's concubine in name, the two had nothing to do with each other. Back then he kept him in his room to save her, and he hadn't given him any status all these years.Quiet, often ignoring her existence.

Of course, Shui Rong didn't take it too seriously, and was sobered up by the night wind.The sound of firecrackers outside and laughter resounded in my ears.Everyone in the mansion likes to celebrate the New Year, only Shui Rong thinks it's light, it's like this every year, it's not as good as when I was a child.When he was just Shui Cheng or when he was older like Shui Xin, the eldest sister was still at home and his parents were there, and he was even more like a phoenix held by everyone, without any worries and burdens, he was chic and at ease.At that time, he was also very naughty, often causing headaches to his father, mother and concubine.

Shui Rong saw a lantern hanging on the treetop in front of him, and heard someone talking.Just as he was about to choose another way to go, he heard the man muttering to himself: "It's about the emptiness of rest and sorrow, and lovesickness for thousands of miles all night. I am so worried that after the sound of the rooster stops, I will be haggard and see the spring breeze again. "

Shui Rong didn't need to think about it, but he also knew that it was Daiyu standing there, without the slightest hesitation, he walked up to him.Fei Yu hurriedly saluted and said: "The prince is here."

Daiyu heard Fei Yu's words, she turned her head and saw Shui Rong in front of her, she took a step back and wanted to bow down, but Shui Rong stretched out her hand to support her, looked into her face and said, "Why don't you go to the theater?" ? Leave the table again."

But Daiyu said, "Didn't the prince leave the table too?"

Shui Rong didn't expect that she would ask himself back, without explaining.Being able to meet her here, Shui Rong's mood became a little joyful, and even the dull mood just now disappeared.She thought that the few words she read just now were probably due to homesickness, but her parents were gone, and she could only pay tribute to her, and suddenly felt that the situation of the two was so similar.At this moment, Shui Rong could feel her loneliness and sorrow, so he made up his mind and said to Daiyu: "I'll take you somewhere."

Daiyu originally said that she didn't want to go, but she was afraid of being betrayed by Shui Rong's kindness, so she had to follow his steps, not knowing where she was going.

Shui Rong took Daiyu to the highest place in the mansion, the Star Picking Pavilion.Shui Rong asked Feiyu to wait below, and climbed up to the pavilion with the lantern and Daiyu.Daiyu finally came up, a little out of breath.Shui Rong conveniently hung up the wind lamp, the place is very high, overlooking the whole mansion.

Daiyu hurriedly asked, "What is the lord bringing the girls here for?"

Shui Rong pointed to one direction and said to Daiyu: "Have you seen those faint lights? Tonight is brighter than any other night. Maybe you can look in this direction and see your family."

Daiyu was slightly taken aback, looked back at Shui Rong and said a word, and suddenly understood the deep meaning behind him bringing her here.I slowly realized it in my heart, and I felt infinite gratitude and warmth.That lonely and sensitive heart gradually warmed up at this moment.She looked in the direction of Shui Rong's finger, although she was confused, but her heart was suddenly filled with something.

Shui Rong saw that she was wearing thin clothes and didn't have a cloak or anything, and it was very windy here, so he quickly took off the cloak and put it on for her.Daiyu was pushing his hand, but Shui Rong took advantage of the situation and held it tightly, those hands were not warm at all, so she hurriedly breathed out, wanting to warm her up immediately.

Daiyu felt her chest throbbing wildly and wondered what kind of explanation it was.I don't know what to say if I let others know.

"When I was young, I often came here alone to play. My concubine and the others sent people to look for them, but they couldn't find them after searching for a long time. I remember one time I almost fell off the railing, and then my concubine told me not to let me go any further. Come here." Shui Rong said and looked at the sky again: "It's a pity that there are no stars and no moon tonight. Otherwise, this place is a good place for stargazing."

Daiyu was already looking at the lights of Wanjia, but did not speak.In my heart, I thought that although he was a prince with a noble status, he was extremely considerate and showed his meticulousness everywhere.This kind of concern is very rare for Daiyu. On the cold New Year's Eve, looking at the dotted lights, she suddenly became more cheerful.

Hearing Shui Rong talk about his childhood, he hurriedly turned his head and smiled lightly: "It turns out that the prince was naughty once."

"It's not that it's naughty, it's worse than Cheng'er. They spoil me again, and no one in the house dares to scold, let alone beat."

Daiyu suddenly remembered that Baoyu had come, she was also the phoenix held by everyone, her childhood experience was the same, but the man in front of her was very different from Baoyu. , like an older child.

Shui Rong said again: "There is nothing to do in the first month, why don't you go back to Jia's house to live for a while. Ten days and a half months, even half a year can live there."

Daiyu hurriedly said: "My lord accepted it with good intentions, and now the sisters are all scattered, and they are not used to living here. Qixia Courtyard is very good."

"Fortunately, you don't even come out. Are you still angry with me?"

Daiyu quickly withdrew her hand and said seriously, "Menwomen don't dare."

"Since you are not angry, please don't hide from me. You are not going to Wangyun Zhai either, I have something to return to you."

Daiyu didn't know what she had left behind, so she hurriedly said: "In that case, please come back, my lord."

"Not at the moment, and I didn't bring it with me. A dried Xiyan flower, and a small note. There is a word (Luomeifeng) written on it, which is very fresh, but I see that the following few sentences are too sad. It's your tone. I don't know where there is so much pain in your heart."

"Is life a hardship, or why would you cry as soon as you hit the ground?"

"I think Jiaxuan's two sentences, 'Say sorrow for new words' are very appropriate. If there are girls who feel bitter in their hearts, it's mostly because they can't see it. Don't you forget what I told you that time? It’s the words, ‘Love is long, and wisdom will be hurt’. It’s all because you can’t let it go.”

Daiyu listened quietly, feeling very pertinent.

At this moment, both of them heard a few loud noises, and Daiyu was startled first.Suddenly, I saw two sparks coming out from a certain corner of the mansion, rushing straight to the sky.The dark night sky suddenly lit up, and colorful sparks bloomed quietly in the lively night, one after another, with a loud noise, blooming enthusiastically above the two of them.

Daiyu was always afraid of these crackling sounds, so she hurriedly covered her ears.Looking up at the sky, I was afraid that those sparks would suddenly fall from the sky and hurt myself.There is no place to hide in the pavilion.

Shui Rong looked at Daiyu's bewildered look, hurriedly stepped forward to cover Daiyu tightly, and said to her with a smile: "What are you afraid of, it won't hurt anyone if you are so far away."

"I'm most afraid of these crackling sounds, and I'm even more afraid of thunderstorms." Daiyu not only remembered that in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, she couldn't sleep peacefully during thunderstorms, and Zijuan would sleep with her on the bed inside. Can talk all night.

Shui Rong saw Daiyu's star-like eyes, and his heart softened suddenly, feeling that her eyes were even more dazzling than the fireworks blooming in the sky.Involuntarily, he took another two steps forward.

Daiyu watched those gorgeous and eye-catching flames flashing past her eyes one by one, and then quickly disappeared in front of her eyes.A sudden emotion came to her heart: "It turns out that no matter how beautiful things are, they are only for a moment, just like the flowers on the branches, they will be thankful after their period." Daiyu felt that things that are too beautiful can't be held .

Perhaps it was Daiyu's deep sorrow and sensitivity that to some extent stimulated a certain place in Shui Rong's heart.The woman in front of me is different from others, she is too delicate.It's different from the tall and burly Nan Qing, different from the seemingly bright but cold Princess, and also different from the delicate and romantic Shui Xin.Hearing Daiyu's words, there seemed to be a trace of melancholy in her heart, she frowned slightly, and said softly: "Beauty does not lie in the length, but in the past. It is like fireworks, meteors, and flowers on the branches. It’s like a woman’s face. Except for the heart, there is nothing eternal.”

Daiyu hurriedly asked: "Can the heart last forever?"

"Of course, it's a person's belief. Didn't the (Fayuan Zhulin) also say that 'If you don't have faith, you will always be laughed at by him'."

Daiyu asked again: "My lord also read the sentences in the scriptures?"

Shui Rong didn't appear humble at this time, and said calmly: "There are so many books in Wangyunzhai, all kinds of books, which are the wealth accumulated by generations of our Shui family. When I was young, I started to read and write. So I learned from others, and read a little about everything.”

Daiyu laughed and said, "No wonder, the prince said these words as soon as he opened his mouth."

"Tell me, why haven't you ever been? Just under the tree over there, aren't you reciting the sentence of Tang Ren Laihu?"

There was a slight blush on Daiyu's face, but it couldn't be seen in the water.It was the first time that their hearts were so close, and it was the first time that Daiyu didn't feel that Shui Rong's status was so high that she couldn't get close.There were mixed emotions in her heart, and she was gazing at those flames, and she dared not look back at this moment.Until the neck is a little sore.

A tacit understanding suddenly formed between the two, and neither of them spoke.I can hear the noise of family members again, as well as the laughter of children, the most carefree, and the sound of gongs and drums one after another, that is the beginning of the big drama.Daiyu felt that the bustle in the palace did not belong to her, she was just a sojourner, and she was used to living alone, so such a lively scene had no destiny for her.Why isn't the prince one of those bustling people? Could it be that he is also lonely in his heart?

Thinking of this, she turned to look at him.Only then did he realize that the two of them were so close, she was almost half in his arms, this is no longer the distance that is allowed for ordinary men and women to get along, so he quickly broke away from the hand covering her ears, and turned to one side .

Shui Rong saw again that she was on guard with all her heart and soul, and it wasn't others but herself that she was guarding against.He was a little disappointed, but he didn't embarrass her.There was a faint smile on his face, and he didn't look at those gorgeous fire lights, but looked at Daiyu: "I always feel that you are avoiding me. Is it true that I make you so scary?"

Daiyu shook her head hastily: "No, no." She suddenly felt uneasy.

"You're fine with everything, but you're too sensitive."

Fei Yu, who was standing below waiting for them, had grown impatient for a long time, and heard the bursts of laughter from the other side, so he also ran to watch.Of course, none of the people in the pavilion remembered that there was a girl named Feiyu down there.

The flames in the sky are getting less and less. It seems that this year's fireworks show is not as lively as last year's.There was a choking smell of gunpowder in the air, which was a little pungent.Daiyu couldn't take it anymore and coughed twice, Shui Rong thought she was freezing, and said with concern: "Let's go back."

Daiyu also wanted to look at those dim lights that were half visible, so she had some hopes for her family.Hearing that Shui Rong said to leave, he immediately turned around and left.

Shui Rong reached out to fetch the lantern hanging there, and left with Daiyu.

Afraid of where she might fall, she held the lamp in one hand and groped for her slightly cold hands in the darkness with the other, held them tightly and never let go.

Daiyu was afraid of the dark, and the road was unfamiliar, so she seemed a little timid.At this moment, someone can hold her hand in the dark. His palm is big and warm. It is different from a maid's support, but a mature opposite sex.Daiyu felt that an invisible force was pulling her, allowing her to move forward bravely without being afraid of anything.In such a lively and somewhat deserted night, the faint sadness and loneliness from earlier suddenly went away quietly.

However, the journey was not long, and when Shui Rong wanted to hold on for a while, he had already reached the bottom.Daiyu withdrew her hand, gave Shui Rong a slight blessing, and said: "It's getting late, my lord stay here."

Shui Rong saw that there was no servant girl in front of her, and it would not be good if she bumped into anything along the way, so she said nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter, I'll take you back."

The two distanced themselves a bit, and Daiyu was still wearing the black fox cloak that Shui Rong had wrapped around her.After walking two steps, Daiyu suddenly asked: "Just now the prince said faith, but I don't know what the prince's belief is?"

"Me?" Shui Rong was stunned for a moment, he felt that there was a daze in front of him, just like the vast night, which was a bit hard to see clearly.What is his belief in his heart and what is he insisting on.He suddenly thought of the word "home". Since his father left, he has shouldered such a large house on his shoulders.There were hundreds of people in the mansion, and they all looked at Shui Rongyi, who was the pillar of the mansion.The wealth and honor that the ancestors exchanged with flesh and blood cannot be lost in his hands, he has to provoke the rise and fall of the mansion on his shoulder.In the past four years, he has been diligent and careful, and he has never said a word of hardship or tiredness.

Thinking of this, Shui Rong felt that every step was going more smoothly.Suddenly he realized that he was walking faster, and when he looked back, he saw that Daiyu had fallen dozens of steps away, so he stood still and waited quietly for her.

When he got to Qixia Courtyard, Shui Rong didn't explain to Daiyu what his belief was, he couldn't say a single exact word.

Daiyu stood outside the courtyard gate and said goodbye to Shui Rong: "My lord, please go back."

Shui Rong glanced at it, and there was a faint light inside, knowing that there was someone inside, he waved his hand at Daiyu.Daiyu turned around and went in.

Shui Rong still held the wind lamp in his hand, and walked all the way, the night wind blew a little harder.Suddenly feeling cold, subconsciously wanted to gather his clothes together, only to realize that he gave Daiyu the cloak.Shui Rong smiled faintly, thinking that tonight was a good night.He couldn't help but think of the day last year when he and the concubine got angry and quarreled a few more times. They hid in the room and drank two catties of wine.

When Daiyu was in front of him just now, he felt warm in his heart and relaxed emotionally. He could say whatever was on his mind without hiding his feelings.Tonight Daiyu didn't dodge like usual, she got closer and felt her loneliness even further.In fact, water-soluble has never been the same, the same loneliness.

It's just that he has to cover up his loneliness, and he has the future of the palace on his shoulders.

After walking for a while, he came to Yiyuan inadvertently.Shui Rong stood at the base of the wall for a while, took out his gold watch, and saw that the pointer had already pointed to the last mark, and it looked like he had to enter the palace to celebrate the New Year in half an hour.He hesitated for a moment, then raised his foot and stepped into the courtyard gate.

The houses in the front are brightly lit, and only figures can be seen walking on the freshly pasted screen windows.

When Nanny Hu came out, she suddenly saw a man standing in the courtyard. She was startled at first, and then she looked again, it turned out to be the prince.He quickly greeted him with a smile: "Ah, why is the prince standing in the yard, come in quickly."

Shui Rong handed the lamp in his hand to Nanny Hu, and walked into the house step by step.Several servant girls in the room rushed to see the ceremony.But there was no sign of the princess.

Cui Lian hurriedly apologized with a smile: "The concubine hasn't come yet, my lord, please wait." Hearing these words, it seemed that Su Rong was going to leave immediately.

In fact, all the girls in the house do not look forward to Shui Rong being here day and night, the world has never seen such a couple, all of them have cold faces, and they don't have a thoughtful word.The girls were all afraid of being water-soluble and left immediately.

Cui Lian rushed to bring good tea, but Shui Rong waved his hand and said, "I don't drink tea."

Cui Lian wondered how he would keep people if he didn't drink tea, so he said with a smile: "I have to go to the palace later, my lord drank a lot of bars today. I need to get rid of the alcohol, besides, it will refresh me."

Shui Rong heard her and glanced at her, a girl in a lavender waistcoat.He is thin and tall, and his facial features are not particularly outstanding, except for a pair of eyes that have a bit of aura.He couldn't even call his name.

He didn't sit down either, he didn't know whether he should leave immediately or wait a while, he had something to ask the princess.After waiting for a while, she still hadn't come back.

Madam Hu has already sent someone to invite her.She really likes it in her heart, thinking that it is hard to come here, there is no reason to leave, last year she was arguing, but this year it is much better.Hurry up to show courteousness: "Please sit in the back room, my lord, it's windy here."

The maid had already lifted the curtain, and Shui Rong strode into the room.It is rare to come back once a year, the bedroom of him and the princess.

The furnishings in the house have not changed much, but the color of the curtains has changed, and they are red and gold, which is the same color as the night they got married.It seemed that there was still a bride sitting on the bed who was waiting for Shui Rong to come forward and take off her headscarf. When she went to look again, she saw a few quilts neatly piled up, and there was no one there.

Shui Rongjian saw a hardwood Duobaoge cabinet standing beside the east wall, on which exquisite playthings were placed.These are not important, Shui Rong saw that there was an embroidered screen upright, and a galloping horse was mounted on the screen, that posture was extremely vivid.Shui Rong's eyes were naturally attracted, he picked it up, admired it seriously, and couldn't help admiring: "It's really charming."

The concubine heard that Shui Rong was waiting for her in the house, but she didn't know what it was, so the maid came to invite her again, thinking that she would have to go to the palace to celebrate again soon.So I went back to Yiyuan.

The concubine just entered the back room when she saw Shui Rong's hand holding her most precious thing to look at.At this moment, anger suddenly burst into his chest, he has no right to touch his own things, especially this one, he has no right at all.

Before the concubine had time to step forward to stop him, there was only a soft sound, and the embroidery screen fell to the ground, and the glass mounted on it suddenly shattered.And Wang Hao's heart was also broken to the ground, she couldn't hold back anymore, she stepped forward and pushed Shui Rong away.Crying: "You are not enough, not enough, do you have to kill me to be satisfied, what am I hindering you, what is hindering you!"

Shui Rong wanted to put it back to its original position, but he let it go, and suddenly saw Wang Hao rushing up, so out of control, it was not at all different from her usual coldness.

The princess squatted on the ground to pick up the thing that had been damaged by the water solution and was heavier than her own life.

Shui Rong stood in front of him, a little at a loss,
