Dai Meng of the Red Chamber

Chapter 33: Meeting the old friend Shui Dai's hidden worries

Different from the last trip, this time the carriage is luxurious and comfortable, and the mood is also different.

Stepping into the car, Shui Rong smiled and said, "Come here and sit down. I remember the last time when I was out of the city, as soon as you got in the car, I saw your haggard look, and I wished I could hold you in my arms, but you refused people for thousands of miles. The expression made me afraid again, for fear that I would accidentally make you angry, and then give it to me..."

Gently caressing her cheeks, she said in a low voice, "You are so cruel that you can do it." Daiyu turned her face to one side, and said in a low voice, "It's your own fault, who made you jealous for no reason? .”

Stretching out his arms to hold Daiyu in his arms, Shui Rong said: "To be honest, I used to be jealous of Baoyu, jealous of him knowing you seven years earlier than me, and being with you for seven years, but now I'm a little bit jealous. I feel sorry for him, because I know that I am the most important thing in Yaner's heart, and I will be with you for 70 years, 700 years."

Looking down at Daiyu, Shui Rong said: "Is it true? I want you to tell me yourself." Daiyu turned her eyes and said in a low voice: "No." Shui Rong was startled, then smiled and said: "I know you like duplicity. , you say 'no' is 'yes', you can't deny it, otherwise I will punish you."

Seeing Shui Rong's somewhat nervous and rascally expression, Daiyu smiled lightly, raised her face, a trace of cunning flashed across Daiyu's exquisitely beautiful face, and said softly: "People say that you marry a chicken as you marry a dog, and you marry a dog as a dog." , since I’m married to you, so what if I don’t recognize it, alas, I’d better admit it, but as for the 700-year matter, I’m afraid I won’t be able to accompany you.”

Shui Rong said: "I said yes, I can, you have to be with me for the rest of your life." Then he reacted, and said with a low smile: "You little bastard, you dare to go around and scold me, it seems that these days have put you You spoiled me too much, you don't know how high the heavens are and the earth is thick."

Rubbing Daiyu's earlobe lightly, Shui Rong said in a low voice: "Wait, see how I deal with you at night."

The car slowly approached the gate of the city, through the curtain of the sedan chair, Daiyu looked at the scene outside with great interest, and suddenly saw a somewhat familiar carriage approaching, Daiyu hurriedly called out: "Yiqing, I think that carriage The car is somewhat familiar."

Shui Rong looked at it, and said: "No wonder, it's the carriage of Prince Leshan's mansion, Prince Leshan is away on an expedition, or the old lady and the others are out of the city."

Sighing lightly, Daiyu said: "Old Madam Yang is kind and kind, she is generous and kind, and thanks to her taking care of me, I would not..."

Just listen to Shui Rong said: "Zi Yang, go and find out if the car in front is the old lady of Leshan Prince's Mansion, come and report to me." Holding Daiyu's hand, Shui Rong said: "If you meet, I will accompany you." Go over and say hello."

After a while, Zi Yang said: "Go back to the prince, it is Mrs. Yang, the princess, and the princess who came back from offering incense." Shui Rong said: "Go and tell me, the king and the princess will go to visit Mrs. Yang later."

Helping Daiyu to get out of the car, Shui Rong saw Mrs. Yang, Princess Leshan, and Princess Ying had already got off the car and waited there. Seeing Shui Rong and Daiyu, everyone was about to salute. Shui Rong hurriedly asked Zijuan to support her, saying : "Old lady, you are welcome, besides, we are juniors in private, so we should greet the old lady."

Mrs. Yang said: "My lord is here, the gift cannot be forfeited." Shui Rong said with a smile: "This is not in court, let alone Xiao Wang is here with Wang Fei."

Daiyu smiled and said: "Yes, Daiyu lived in the palace back then, thanks to the old lady's care, Daiyu has always been very grateful in her heart, and today I met, so I came here to say hello."

Mrs. Yang said: "Bei Wangfei is polite." Daiyu said: "Where are you going, Mrs. Yang?" Mrs. Yang said: "The prince is away from the expedition, and the old man and the princess just came back from offering incense in the Muni courtyard, and happened to meet the prince and the princess."

Daiyu said with a smile: "Prince Leshan has gone through many battles and will definitely come back triumphantly. Don't worry about the old lady." Old lady Yang said: "Borrow the good words from the princess."

After greeting Princess Leshan and Princess Ying, Daiyu and Shui Rong got into the car.

Glancing lightly at the carriage in Leshan Palace, Daiyu suddenly said sourly: "Yiqing, Princess Ying hasn't married yet." Shui Rong said: "Whether she's married or not doesn't matter to me."

Daiyu looked forward with clear eyes, and said meaningfully: "Don't say you don't know." Shui Rong embraced Daiyu, smiled and said: "You fool, anyone who does not get married depends on me, then I will What, Yaner, what are you daydreaming about all day, if you have this kind of thought, just think about me, don't worry, I only made a promise to you."

Sighing, Shui Rong said: "Prince Leshan's expedition this time, I'm afraid the emperor has other intentions. If not, there are so many people in the court, how could he be chosen? If you make a wrong step, you will be doomed."

Daiyu looked at Shui Rong with some doubts, and then said in a low voice: "The officialdom is ups and downs, and the officialdom is dangerous. I don't like these things, but since you are in it, you have to be careful in everything." Shui Rong smiled lowly He said, "Don't worry."

After a while, Daiyu asked: "The emperor has been in power for so many days, is it possible that he is beginning to exclude dissidents..." Shui Rong said in a low voice: "You are so smart, the old part of the King of England has been cleared up, and the rest is what has happened before." The suspect is gone, but we once owed Leshan a favor, I hope the emperor will see that Leshan can take the crime and make meritorious service this time, and let us not embarrass us."

Sensing Daiyu trembling slightly in his arms, Shui Rong said: "What are you afraid of, it has been like this since ancient times, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit, one careless step will lead to eternal doom."

Daiyu said softly: "Yiqing, the emperor wouldn't do this." Shui Rong said in a low voice: "Fool, being soft-hearted in a high position is leaving troubles for yourself. If you can sit on the throne, the emperor still doesn't know These, well, let's not talk about these, today we are out to relax, not to talk about the affairs of the court."

The official road outside the city gradually narrowed, Shui Rong and Daiyu were talking in a low voice, when suddenly they felt the car stopped, and there were vague voices outside.

Shui Rongyang said in a voice: "Zi Yang, what's the matter, why did the car stop." Zi Yang's echo came from outside: "Go back to the prince, the front is the carriage of the guard of the capital, and because the road is narrow, only one car can be accommodated." Pass first, they don't know it's the prince's car, the drivers of both sides are not giving way to each other, I let Zimei go over and let them make way."

Without hesitation, Shui Rong's face darkened, and he said majesticly: "You have been with me for so long, don't you know me's temper, don't stop, just keep walking, and see who dares to stand in my way, let him stand on his back Turn over, did you hear that?"

Zi Yang responded and said: "Yes, this subordinate understands." Turning his head, Shui Rong saw Dai Yu's wonderful eyes staring at him blankly, he couldn't help but calm down, and said: "Xiaoer, what are you looking at. "

Daiyu said softly: "Yiqing, we are not in a hurry, why should we make such a show?" Shui Rong smiled slightly and said, "You don't understand, only when you are in awe in the officialdom is respect, if I close my eyes and don't care, he will still You'll think I'm easy to deal with, not to mention a mere Gyeonggi defender, it's magnanimous enough for me not to pursue his crime of ignorance of Mount Tai."

Shaking her head, Daiyu said: "Unexpectedly, you are not only unreasonable in the mansion, but also outside..." Without going on, Daiyu lowered her head and sighed lightly.

Zi Yang's voice came from outside: "Your Highness, you have already done what you ordered." Shui Rong said, "Okay, just remember these little things in the future, and you don't need to come back to me."

Lowering his head, Shui Rong said to Dai Yu: "If there is no power, there is nothing. Believe it or not, if he is a smart person, he will definitely come to plead guilty. I am also looking for him. I heard a few days ago..."

It was still the same room, elegant and clean, Mother Feng smiled and said: "Princess, since you left that time, the prince has ordered that no one is allowed to move anything in the room, look, it is still the same as when you left .”

Looking back at Shui Rong, Daiyu smiled and said: "Could it be that you have the ability to foretell, how would you know that I will marry you?" Shui Rong smiled and said: "I don't have the ability to foretell, but I know you must be my princess , no one can change it.”

Walking up, Shui Rong said to Daiyu: "After walking such a long distance, you should rest for a while, I will take you outside the courtyard to have a look, Sister, tell them to make something light." Mother Feng respectfully responded backed out.

After resting for a while, Daiyu felt refreshed. Zijuan had just washed up with her, but she saw Shui Rong walking in from the outside, and her relaxed face was more dignified.

Daiyu said softly: "Yiqing, just now Ziyang was looking for you for something." Sit down slowly, Shui Rong said with a smile: "It's okay, it's just a matter for the court, don't be in a hurry, let's go, have you packed it up yet?" , let's go out and have a look."

Daiyu walked over gently, and said in a low voice: "Yiqing, didn't you promise me that we will take care of things together, although I know I can't help, but judging by your face, it will definitely not be a trivial matter."

Shui Rong smiled faintly, and said: "You are really serious. Just now Zi Yang said that there was an urgent report from the border. Because the army was not acclimatized, some people in the army were infected with the plague, and the troops were greatly reduced. They needed to urgently transfer medicinal materials and other supplies. , the emperor and Prince Zhen have ordered them to do their best, so it should be fine."

Daiyu breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "I hope everything goes well. Didn't you say that the emperor has a grudge against Prince Leshan? If you use this as an excuse, wouldn't it be..."

Shui Rong sighed, and said: "The sacred heart is unpredictable, I hope you will be happy and auspicious, and the heavenly appearance, brow, do you know why I rushed there when I was in danger on the Lantern Festival? We owe him a favor. Although it was not a conspiracy at the time.”

Standing up, Shui Rong said: "Stop talking, maybe when the time comes, the willows will be dark and the flowers will be bright, Zijuan, bring a long coat for the princess, let's go for a walk."

What I didn't tell Daiyu was that from Zi Yang's words, the emperor had faint intentions to send someone to the border to monitor the army, and Le Shan's situation was already like walking on thin ice.
