Dai Meng of the Red Chamber

Walking out of the Qianqing Palace, Zhongshun said to Shui Rong with deep meaning: "It seems that Prince Bei is still a person who values ​​love, righteousness and nostalgia." Shui Rong chuckled and said, "My lord is joking, and this king is also discussing things based on facts, and sharing worries with others. There is no selfishness that the prince said."

Zhongshun snorted, and said with a smirk: "That's the old man's overheartedness, Prince Bei, who was clever but was mistaken by his cleverness, so he left." Shui Rong also said coldly: "My lord, go away." Turning around , A cold chill flashed across the eyes that were as water-soluble as autumn water.

After calling the entourage around him, Shui Rong gave some instructions in a low voice, "Have you remembered clearly? Tell Shuicheng that the return trip is done." Looking at the back of the entourage leaving in a hurry, Shui Rong sighed softly, He said to himself: "Baoyu, because of my previous affection, that's all I can do for you."

Turning out of Qianqing Palace, Shui Rong walked towards the harem, with winding corridors, whirling flowers and trees, compared with the majestic Yongzheng and Cining Palace in front of it, it looks elegant and quiet.

Before turning into the carved verandah of the Compassionate Ning Palace, the third prince Long Mu greeted him with a smile: "Cousin Qing, you are here, the Empress Dowager was still talking about it this morning, saying that you don't know where you went crazy. "

Shui Rong smiled lightly and said, "It must be that you said something about me in front of the Queen Mother, which caused the Queen Mother to say that." Long Mu winked at Shui Rong gently, and smiled with ulterior motives: "Okay, go in quickly, some People are waiting anxiously, and have asked me several times in private."

Shui Rong looked at Long Mu's gloating expression, couldn't help but smiled wryly, and then said meanly: "Let's go in together, or I'll tell the Queen Mother that you won't be able to enter through the door."

Long Mu patted Shui Rong's shoulder, and said with a smile, "I've convinced you, let's go." Walking side by side, Long Mu Ruyu's face had regained his usual composure, and he said in a low voice, "I heard that Royal Father Today, you and Prince Zhongshun were asked to copy Ningrong and Rongfu."

Shui Rong raised his head, sighed softly, and said, "According to the order." Long Mu looked at Shui Rong with a somewhat unbearable expression, and said, "Acknowledge the misfortune, let him go."

Turning around the palace gate, the sharp-eyed Shui Rong suddenly saw a young eunuch poking his head under the eaves of the east corridor. When he saw them, he turned around and ran back. He couldn't help but frowned, and shouted sharply: "Stop."

The little eunuch retreated timidly, turned around and knelt on the ground.Staring at the little eunuch with water-soluble sharp eyes, he said coldly: "In the dignified Palace of Compassion and Peace, what are you doing sneakily, and why did you run away when you saw Prince Mu and this prince?"

The little eunuch was so frightened that he fell on the ground, and said repeatedly: "My slave is guilty. I remembered something and was in a hurry to do it. I didn't greet the prince. Please forgive me, Prince Mu and Prince Bei."

Shui Rong smiled coldly and said, "Really, I'm afraid it won't be that simple." Turning to Long Mu, he said, "Cousin Mu, what do you think?" How dare you talk nonsense, and you don't even look at who is standing in front of you, but..."

Long Mu frowned and said: "Cousin Qing, let the servants take care of these trivial matters, let's go, the Queen Mother has been waiting for a long time." Shui Rong looked coldly at the little eunuch kneeling on the ground, and snorted With a sound, he turned around and left with a flick of his sleeves.

Long Mu behind him walked past the little eunuch, bowed his head and said in a low voice, "Get out of here, and the princess will punish you." After speaking, he hurried to catch up with Shui Rong in front of him.

The servant outside the corridor door saw the two of them, and announced loudly: "Mu Wangye and Bei Wangye are here." Shui Rong and Long Mu looked at each other and smiled, and walked in.

Turning the screen of "Three Friends of the Winter", Shui Rong saw the Empress Dowager leaning on the soft couch, with a faint smile on her well-maintained face, and loving eyes looking over.

After seeing the ceremony, the queen mother smiled and said: "Boy Qing, your mother and concubine are well, I haven't seen you these few days, and Ai's family is in a hurry." Shui Rong stepped forward and said: "Grandmother, don't worry, mother and concubine are all right, last night I also muttered that I haven't seen you for a long time, and I want to come to say hello to you."

The queen mother smiled and said angrily: "After being a prince for several years, you are more and more able to talk." Shui Rong smiled and said: "Qing'er is telling the truth, how dare you play flower guns in front of grandma." The queen mother smiled and said: "Okay, Aijia believes you for the time being. Your mother and concubine are not in good health, so Aijia thought more about it and respected your mother and concubine."

Shui Rong said: "Grandma, don't worry, Qing'er understands." The queen mother turned to Long Mu and said, "Mu'er, I heard from Anyang that Xiao Songzi kowtowed yesterday."

Long Mu said with a smile: "Don't worry, the emperor's grandmother, Song'er knocked on the desk by herself, and there is no serious problem." The Queen Mother said: "Tell the maids to watch carefully, and never such a thing will happen again. The child is so young, it cannot be tolerated."

Long Mu helplessly blinked at Shui Rong, and replied: "Grandson must give you good instructions." The queen mother asked a few more homework questions, and the maid outside said: "Princess Anyang is here."

Long Mu smiled meaningfully at Shui Rong, then smiled and said to Anyang who walked in: "Seventh sister, come to accompany the emperor's grandmother again to relieve boredom." Anyang smiled softly, and glanced at the queen mother with clear eyes Shui Rong said: "Could it be that the emperor is only allowed to visit the emperor's grandmother, and Anyang is not allowed to come."

Turning around and smiling slightly at Shui Rong, Anyang said softly, "Cousin Shui is also here, and the emperor's grandmother has been talking about you all day long. I haven't visited Concubine Concubine these days, so please ask Concubine to say hello to Concubine Concubine on Anyang's behalf."

Then he turned to the queen mother, and Anyang said softly: "Grandmother, Anyang heard from Aunt Cuiyan that the emperor's grandmother has no appetite for lunch, so Anyang specially ordered someone to cook a lighter lotus seed porridge to see if it suits the emperor's grandmother. taste."

The queen mother smiled and said: "This girl Anyang is just a likable girl, she is much better than you ignorant boys." Anyang smiled and said: "Grandmother was joking, Brother Sanwang and Brother Shuibiao are princes. I am busy with the important affairs of establishing the state and the country, so naturally I don't have so much time to pay my respects to the imperial grandmother, Anyang is a little girl, and she has nothing important to do in the palace on weekdays, so she should spend more time with the imperial grandmother to relieve her boredom."

Long Mu said with a smile: "Seventh sister's words are impeccable. Everyone is happy. I really don't know which lucky person will marry you in the future. I, the emperor's brother, will be envious. Cousin Qing, what do you think?" After finishing speaking, Long Mu looked at Shui Rong with a faint smile, with a cunning that couldn't be concealed in his eyes.

Shui Rong couldn't see any other traces on his face that was as plain as water. He turned his head and smiled faintly at the Queen Mother, "What Cousin Mu said is that Anyang has been following my grandmother. As the saying goes, 'A strong general has no weak soldiers'. The person who trains must be good."

The queen mother smiled and said: "My family loves to hear these words. Anyang has been with me, and I don't want her to marry far away." Anyang buried her head in the queen mother's lap in shame, and said in a low voice: "The imperial grandmother wants to make decisions for Anyang. Brother Huang made fun of Anyang again."

The queen mother smiled and said: "Silly girl, the male college should be married, and the female college should be married. There is nothing to be shy about. You are the most beloved granddaughter of the Ai family. Naturally, the Ai family will choose a marriage that is safe for you."

Shui Rong glanced at Long Mu who was gloating at the side, got up and said, "Grandmother, Qing'er still has some business to do, so please resign first." The queen mother looked at Shui Rong, and said, "Go, do your job well, don't let your mother Concubine is worried."

Shui Rong responded, and Long Mu also stood up, and the queen mother said: "Go all, the Sheji of the Celestial Dynasty is waiting for you to go, the old woman understands."

The two of them had just approached the palace gate when they heard Anyang call from behind: "Biao Shui, wait a minute." After finishing speaking, he hurried up, Shui Rong turned around, his black-like eyebrows frowned, his cool and handsome With a calm look on his face, he said slowly, "Is there something wrong with my cousin?"

An Yang took a small cloth wrap from the maid, and said to Shui Rong: "I found the jade hairpin that Cousin Yao asked me to find last time, and I asked Cousin Shui to pass it on to her."

Shui Rong took it over, and said lightly, "Thank you, I'll definitely bring it to sister Yao." Seeing Anyang glanced at him, hesitant to speak, Shui Rong's face was a little impatient, and he couldn't help saying: "Cousin still has something to do, If it’s okay, I’ll go to the province.”

Anyang lowered his head shyly, a blush appeared on his fair face, he shook his head and said, "No, thank you Cousin Shui, tell Younger Sister Yao that you can come to the palace to play when you have time."

Shui Rong turned around and said, "Don't worry, I'll definitely deliver the words." As he spoke, he had already walked out the door.Long Mu smiled and whispered in Anyang's ear: "Seventh Sister is so caring, she can even know when Qing's cousin comes, and she will bring you a purse, but it's a pity that your slave was too reckless to do things, and almost smashed it for you." Good thing happened."

Anyang couldn't help blushing, and said coquettishly: "Brother Sanwang will bully people, be careful, I will sue you with Mrs. Wang." Long Mu smiled and said: "I am not afraid, you should be careful about your thoughts." Said Then, hurriedly walked out.
