Dai Meng of the Red Chamber

Glancing at Daiyu, Zijuan coughed lightly on purpose, only to see two [-] or [-]-year-old girls came over to greet her in a panic, and responded lightly, Daiyu didn't make a sound, Zijuan said: "Just now What are you two talking about?"

One of the little girls who seemed quite clever said: "Sister Zijuan, we were just joking." Daiyu's face darkened, and she said: "I heard it just now, you still dare to argue."

The other was frightened and said repeatedly: "Princess forgive me, this servant just met Shui Xi, seeing him in a hurry, this servant couldn't help but ask, Shui Xi said someone from the palace called the young master into the palace, did he still ask?" Said it was because of border issues."

"What about the border?" Daiyu stood up involuntarily, with a hint of worry in her voice.Zijuan hurriedly stepped forward to support Daiyu, and said softly: "Princess, don't worry, be careful."

With a sigh of relief, Daiyu calmed down her beating heart, then regained her composure, and said, "What's going on, let's talk about it."

The little girl glanced at Daiyu, and said in a low voice: "My maidservant heard from Shui Xi that it seems to be..." Seeing the little girl's evasive expression, Daiyu couldn't help but condense her face, and said slowly: "The Guanfu is so stupid. In the past few days, you also know about this concubine's temper, so you can tell me what you should say, and you can't say a word that shouldn't be said, understand, now this concubine wants to hear what you heard just now."

The little girl thought for a while, then said in a low voice: "Shuixi said that the father-in-law was in a hurry to send the young master to enter the palace, and the frontier urgently reported that someone was injured. Shuixi ran in a hurry, and the servant did not hear clearly. Please forgive me, Wangfei."

I can't help but worry that I can't hide it, someone was injured at the border, and the news is muddy, even the little girl in the mansion knows that Daiyu has a smart mind, so how can she not understand the reason.

Seeing that Daiyu didn't make a sound, she just quietly looked into the distance, and the handkerchief in her hand was tightly clenched, Zijuan couldn't help but whispered: "Princess, don't worry, your lord is very skilled in martial arts, and you have Ziyang and Zimei. If you are by your side, you must be fine, besides, maybe they heard it wrong, the emperor just sent the son into the palace for other things."

The clever little girl kept saying: "Sister Zijuan is right, maybe Rulin heard it wrong." Then she turned her head and said to the other: "Did you hear clearly, don't talk nonsense."

Daiyu breathed a sigh of relief, and then calmly said: "It's none of your business here, and please remember this concubine, don't discuss behind your back what you hear in the future, just this time, if we meet next time, This concubine will follow the rules of the mansion."

The two little girls said yes again and again, but Daiyu ignored her and just waved her hand feebly, Zijuan said: "Go, remember Wangfei's words."

After dismissing the little girl, Zijuan looked at Daiyu's pale face and said in a low voice, "Princess." Daiyu couldn't hear anything, and there was only one thought in her heart, "He was injured."

Seeing that Daiyu was silent and her white face was erratic, Zijuan couldn't help but said anxiously: "Princess, don't worry, the prince is the commander in chief, and there are soldiers following him in and out on weekdays, they must have misheard, maybe it's the prince It's time to come back, son passed on by the emperor."

Hearing a soft long sigh, Daiyu said slowly: "You silly girl, don't deceive yourself, there is no wave without wind, how could the emperor rush to call the second brother into the palace for no reason?"

Standing up at once, Daiyu said: "No, I'll ask my second brother." Zijuan hurriedly persuaded: "Princess, don't worry, the second son has just entered the palace, and the princess will not see him now."

Sitting down slowly, Daiyu's momentarily chaotic thoughts slowly calmed down, and stroking her slightly bulging belly, Daiyu said to herself: "You promised me to look after our baby Born, if you break your promise, I will never forgive you."

A gust of breeze blew past, Zijuan couldn't help shrinking, glanced at Daiyu who was in a daze beside her, Zijuan said softly: "Princess, you must be careful, you are pregnant now, don't worry, you will know when the young master comes back. How about we go back to the room and rest, I will send someone to watch, as soon as the young master comes back..."

Nodding her head, Daiyu said: "Let's go, I'm a little tired too." Holding Zicuckoo to walk back slowly, Daiyu felt as if she was walking in the clouds, soft, light, and unsteady. of floating.

Zijuan beside him felt that Daiyu's body was getting heavier and heavier, and called out in a panic: "Princess." After recovering, Daiyu's voice was ethereal and lazy: "Zijuan, what's the matter."

Relieved, Zijuan said: "Princess, go slowly."

Walking out of the imperial study room, there was a dignified and sad expression on the watery and elegant face, and the words of the emperor and King Zhen still rang in his ears: "Border border urgent report, although the enemy army was defeated in the battle of Qilian Mountain, the commander of our army was also killed." He was seriously injured and his condition is currently unknown."

"He was seriously injured." Shui Ning sighed secretly. Although the emperor and King Zhen repeatedly mentioned that the situation of this battle is still uncertain, and the Babaili battle report has not yet arrived in Beijing, but the coach is injured, who else can be besides Shui Rong Thinking of Concubine Toffee's worries that flashed from time to time after she was dissolved in water, Daiyu's face became paler day by day, making Shui Ni's steps more and more heavy.

Since Shui Rong left the mansion, Shui Ning naturally took on everything in the mansion, and slowly coped with the daily entertainment. The lazy and uninhibited Shui Ning gradually understood the difficulty of being in charge of Shui Rong, and his young and frivolous heart gradually calmed down. Afterwards, it was only in the dead of night that a desolate flute sounded, which added a lot of sadness to Shui Ning's heart.

Standing in front of the mansion, Shui Ning let out a long sigh of relief, and Qingyi's face returned to its usual expression.

When he came to the concubine, Shui Ning said casually: "To reassure the concubine mother, the reason why the emperor summoned me just now is because brother Wang won another battle at the border, the emperor is just happy."

Bei Taifei smiled and said: "That's good, I hope Wang'er will come back after a few more victories." Shui Ning echoed: "Yes, maybe I can come back a few years ago."

The concubine said: "As long as the prince can come back safely, Ning'er, the concubine mother has no extravagant hopes. I just hope that all of you are happy and happy. Your father and king have spent their lives as soldiers, but in the end they are not... The concubine is afraid."

Shui Ning's heart couldn't help trembling, and then he said as if to comfort himself: "Mother and concubine don't worry, brother Wang has fought in the battlefield several times, and he will be fine." Then he said a few words with the concubine, Shui Ning felt a little guilty Say goodbye.

Walking out of the concubine's courtyard, Shui Ning couldn't help raising her head and letting out a sigh of relief. When she looked up, she saw Daiyu standing there, holding Zijuan, and her long cloak was blown by a cold wind, which was so elegant. indifferent.

She stepped forward to say hello, Daiyu didn't allow Shui Ning to speak, and said: "Second brother, there is news from the prince when he entered the palace just now." Shui Ning didn't dare to look at Dai Yu's clear eyes, turned his eyes away, Shui Ning said: " Don't worry, Mrs. Wang, the news from the border is good news, our army defeated the enemy in Qilian Mountain."

Just listen to Daiyu's quiet way: "My lord is good." Shui Ning said: "Sister-in-law Wang is too worried. Brother Wang, as the commander-in-chief, will plan a strategy and win a thousand miles. Sister-in-law Wang doesn't have to worry."

Pausing for a while, Shui Ning said: "Besides, Mrs. Wang is inconvenient now, so I should be more relieved, so that Brother Wang can rest assured at the border." Ignoring Shui Ning's reassurance, Daiyu sighed softly, and said softly: "Two My younger brother has always been elegant and open, and Mrs. Wang believed what my second brother said, but just now Mrs. Wang heard the servants talking about the father-in-law who delivered the decree..." Before continuing, Daiyu stared straight at Shui Ning with her wonderful eyes, and said firmly: " Don't lie to Mrs. Wang."

Meeting Daiyu's clear and firm gaze, Shui Ning's heart trembled slightly, gently brushing aside Daiyu's no longer slender waist, Shui Ning took a deep breath, and then said in an unquestionable way: "Little brother dare not lie to the king. Sister-in-law, please rest assured, sister-in-law Wang, just now in the palace, my younger brother has learned that brother Wang is fine, and the rumors that sister-in-law heard have absolutely nothing to do with it, please don't worry about it."

Looking at Shui Ning's clear and open eyes, Daiyu felt a heat in her heart, and breathed a sigh of relief, Daiyu said: "Thank you second brother, Mrs. Wang believes that second brother will not lie to me, and I will feel relieved after hearing what you said. "After speaking, she involuntarily turned her head and looked at the far north, Daiyu's eyes were desolate and confused.

Can't help but follow Daiyu's eyes to look over, there is a kind of wound in Shui Ning's heart that is so painful. He raised his head, Shui Ning let the wind blow over his somewhat confused eyes, and said softly: "It's cold outside, Mrs. Wang Now that I'm inconvenient, I'd better go back to my room, my younger brother will definitely tell Mrs. Wang if something happens."

Seeing Daiyu leave slowly, Shui Ning breathed a sigh of relief, and said to himself: "Don't blame me, there are some things I have to do."

A gust of cold wind blew by slightly, and Shui Ning suddenly felt a little cold on his body, only to realize that there were faint traces of sweat on his back.Two days later, it will be the first day of the new year, and it will be the day to enter the palace to pay her respects. The Northern Concubine accidentally caught cold last night, so Daiyu had to ask Zijuan to dress herself up a bit, and then changed into palace clothes before taking the sedan chair into the palace.

In the Fengluan Hall, the queen sat there gracefully, smiling and greeting the concubines who came to pay her respects, seeing Daiyu coming in, the queen smiled and said: "Your sister is inconvenient now, so you don't need to be polite." Daiyu said hurriedly : "Great gifts cannot be discarded."

After the ceremony, he accompanied the empress and said a few words, only listening to the preaching of the maid outside: "The concubine Zhou of the Liying Palace is here." The empress smiled slightly: "Let her come in."

Turning her head, the queen said with a smile: "Your sister, do you feel that Concubine Zhou looks like a person?" Daiyu was intelligent, she understood what the queen meant, and said in a low voice, "Daiyu didn't realize it."

As the carved brocade door was gently closed, a coquettish woman in palace attire walked in slowly, her brows seemed to have some of Daiyu's beauty, but her eyes did not have Daiyu's purity and gentleness. dust free.

After meeting each other, the queen smiled and said, "Sister Concubine Zhou is late today." Concubine Zhou rolled her eyes, glanced at Daiyu, and said half proudly and half shyly, "Please don't blame me, Your Majesty. I asked my sister to play chess with me last night, and I didn't give up until late at night..."

The queen smiled slightly, and said: "No wonder, but the emperor is busy with state affairs during the day, and my sister has to persuade her, the emperor is everyone's emperor,

Don't make the emperor tired. The day before yesterday, the queen mother also told me that the harem should be safe only if it is exposed to rain and dew. My sister is from everyone. Although she has only been in the palace for a short time, she will definitely understand. "

Not allowing Concubine Zhou to reply, the Empress turned her head to Daiyu and said, "Speaking of playing chess, I think of the imperial sister's chess skills back then, and even the Emperor was full of praise." Compared with your mother, Daiyu's chess skills are like the last light of a firefly."

Concubine Zhou didn't make a sound, she just glanced at Daiyu with some complacency, and then said with a light smile, "Prince Bei is too self-effacing, the emperor said in front of this palace that time that Concubine Bei's chess skills are the best among female Chu. Qiao, when I have free time that day, I really want to have a game with Princess Bei."

Daiyu smiled lightly and said, "Concubine Zhou's chess skills are superb, and Daiyu's last light is unbearable to mention."
