Dai Meng of the Red Chamber

Chapter 41, Emperor's Love Is Real and Illusory

The room was quiet, on the soft couch, Daiyu's sleeping face like clear water was quiet and serene, Long Mu couldn't help but walked over gently, with some reluctance in his warm eyes, since the first time he saw her, there was a longing , I hope that one day I can look at her quietly like this, I don't think that after a year, I will finally have the opportunity to realize my wish.

Without making a sound, Long Mu just sat quietly beside him, silently feeling the rare warmth and satisfaction.

After a while, Long Mu said to himself: "Yu'er, I have wanted to call you that since the first time I saw you. I have been calling you that in my heart for a year, and today I finally have the opportunity to speak to you in front of you." Calling you like this, although you can’t hear me. Yu’er, I’m too selfish. I didn’t expect this battle to be so difficult. It is the weakness of this court, and I cannot tolerate any mistakes, so I..... Hearing that Yiqing's current situation is unclear, I have no face for you, let alone you now..."

"I miss those days when I lived in Prince Mu's Mansion very much. It was the happiest and most satisfying time when I saw you for the first time. You said sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat. It relieved me of the guilt that has been lingering in my heart for a long time. I will always remember you in the White Orchard who are as elegant as a poem and have a detached conversation, but unfortunately I don't have this blessing."

Sighing, Long Mu said dejectedly: "Perhaps this is also good. The way you handle affairs in the imperial palace may not be suitable for you. Even today's matter, I know it well. Don't worry, I have already sent the best imperial doctor to set off on a starry night." , went to the border, not to mention that the report of the [-]-mile battle at the border has not yet entered Beijing, it is just a report from the post station of the Ministry of War, and it cannot be believed. According to my understanding of Yiqing, I don’t believe that Yiqing will be injured, so you don’t have to worry, trust me .”

Looking up at Daiyu's unconscious face, Long Mu couldn't help stretching out his hand, hesitated for a moment, then slowly put it back, and sighed: "The emperor and queen mother have asked me why the harem has been established. The fourth concubine, but there is no emperor and noble concubine. They don't know what I think. In my heart, you are my emperor and noble concubine. I will always stand in vain for you."

"It's autumn again now, and the ginkgo trees in the Mu Palace's garden are already full of golden yellow, what a pity..." Sighing, a trace of regret flashed across Long Mu's gentle face.

Affectionately glanced at Daiyu, who was sleeping like a flower, Long Mu stood up, his face regained his calmness, the majesty and determination were completely different from just now, and after calling the eunuch beside him, Long Mu ordered: "Quickly draw up an order for me to designate the northern concubine Lin as the eldest princess, give her the title Xiaoxiang, and at the same time prepare a book for the supervisor of ceremonies."

Looking back at Daiyu, Long Mu said: "Since you are not destined to get you, let me do something for you, and see who dares to look down on you in the future."

The outside wind blew the floor-to-ceiling curtains and slowly undulated, the empress stood there with a calm expression, a trace of gloom on her graceful face could not be concealed.

The maid said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the matter is over, do you want to go in and report to the Emperor?" The Empress sighed and said: "No need, the Emperor understands."

Glancing outside, the maid said in a low voice: "Concubine Zhou has offended many people by relying on herself to be favored, but now it has become like this, and I don't know how many people are taking pleasure in it."

The queen's face darkened, and she said: "The misfortune comes from the mouth, I don't want to hear any nonsense in the future." The maid replied in a panic, and said repeatedly: "Your servant is guilty."

Sighing softly, the queen said to herself: "'Success is Xiao He's failure is also Xiao He', you are so stupid, you were able to attract the attention of the emperor among the many beauties back then, it was not because you looked a bit like her , even Ben Gong dare not fight for his position in his heart, how dare you take such a risk, you are really beyond your control."

With a bleak smile, the queen laughed at herself and said: "It's also your fault that you don't know what's good and what's wrong. I've been married to him for nearly ten years, and I still don't understand his thoughts. I can only blame you for being unlucky, and save me a lot of trouble. "

Looking at Long Mu who came out, the queen stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, is the imperial sister awake?" Long Mu shook his head, and continued: "I have ordered them to draw up an order to confer the imperial sister as the eldest princess. As for the clothes It's a reward, you can figure it out."

The queen smiled and said: "My concubine congratulates the emperor, please rest assured." Looking at the dignified and graceful queen, Long Mu suddenly said in a low voice: "My concubine knows what I want, and I understand it in my heart." After speaking, he turned around Leaving, that straight back is majestic and lonely.

The empress was stunned, and the empress couldn't help jumping up when she called out "Love Concubine". It had been a long time since she had heard such a gentle and intimate address from him. For a moment, the empress felt as if she had returned to the days when she was in the Mu Palace, and murmured: "Your Majesty", the Queen's beautiful eyes were filled with tears.

Back in Beifu, Daiyu's expression had already calmed down. Although there was a touch of sadness on her clear face, the concubine was used to seeing it, and she didn't care. She just asked a few words casually, and Daiyu made an excuse Back to Yuzhu Garden.

Sitting there in a daze, Daiyu still heard the Queen's words: "Your Majesty, don't worry, it was just an urgent report from the post station the day before yesterday, so you can't believe it, let alone the emperor said it, and with the emperor's understanding of Prince Bei , he must be fine, if you are in a hurry, how can the emperor and this palace explain to Prince Bei."

Caressing Daiyu's lower abdomen affectionately, the queen said: "Even if the imperial sister doesn't think about herself, she should also think about the child in her belly. This is the blood of Beifu."

Without making a sound, Daiyu couldn't help but put her hands on her belly, and the conversation with Shui Rong flashed before her eyes: "I was thinking, if I might as well just go with me, the night is long and the lovesickness is bitter, how can I be happy?" Can survive."

"You're thinking wildly again, I don't allow it, if that's the case, I hope you can live a good life, whether married or alone." "No, I'm selfish, you stay with me, I can't tolerate you marry someone else."

Looking outside blankly, Daiyu said to herself, "Yiqing, what should I do."

The night of the journey was particularly bleak, sparks were lit in the camp of the army, and a few Qiang flutes were resentful and desolate.

Walking out of the big tent of the Chinese army, Shui Rong's long crane cloak was blown flying by the wind, he stretched out his hand tightly, and Shui Rong said to Zi Yang behind him: "Go, accompany me to the hills over there to have a look."

Climbing up the hill, the moon is as clear as silver, and the camps are crowded in the distance one after another. Soldiers on patrol come and go from time to time, and the flickering lights appear extraordinarily quiet in the empty night.

Seeing Shui Rong standing still and looking into the distance, Zi Yang said relaxedly: "My lord, I can finally go back to Beijing. We have been out for more than three months in a blink of an eye. It is really unexpected to be able to go back for the New Year."

Without making a sound, looking up at the clear moon in the eastern sky, Shui Rong couldn't help but heaved a long sigh, and murmured: "Yes, I'll be back soon."

I didn't make a sound for a long time, but when Zi Yang looked around vigilantly, he heard Shui Rong muttering to himself: "On the one hand, I am the kindness of sacrificing my life, on the other hand, I am the one who loves me the most. Where should I go? God, you are so cruel. " After a pause, Zi Yang heard Shui Rong say bitterly again: "Brother Yang, your move is ruthless enough."

Looking at the vast night in the distance, Shui Rong's eyes could not help but return to the big tent of the Chinese army on Qilian Mountain where the war smoke had not yet dispersed.

The brown fur coat was still draped over Shui Rong's body, his handsome body was no longer as chic as before, and the pace of walking back and forth made the tent extra anxious.

After a while, the imperial doctor came over slowly, shook his head at Shui Rong, and said in a low voice: "My lord, the villain has done his best, this arrow hits the vital point, even if the Daluo god comes, it will not help, the villain just forcibly If the bleeding is stopped, the marshal may not last until dawn."

Shui Rongying frowned, stared at the helpless imperial doctor with sharp eyes and said, "I tell you, I can save him if I say I can. You must save him, otherwise I will let you be buried with me."

The imperial doctor said slowly: "My lord, it's the villain who won't save me, even if my lord kills the villain, he won't be able to save the Marshal." The raised hand slowly came down, Shui Rong couldn't help sighing, calmed down, Shui Rong Said: "Go down."

Zi Yang stepped forward and said guiltily: "My lord, it's all the subordinates' fault. If the subordinates follow the lord, the marshal won't..." Waved his hand, Shui Rong said: "It's useless to blame anyone now, Yang Brother is the one who took this arrow for this king, if not for this king who is lying there now."

Turning his head, Shui Rong asked sharply: "Have those two people been interrogated clearly?" Zi Yang said: "Of course, they see that they have no hope of winning, so they deliberately stayed behind to feign death and wait for an opportunity to assassinate our army's chief general. One of them was the vanguard of the enemy army."

Slapping the back of the chair next to him with a fist, Shui Rong said angrily: "I will be executed for this king, and I will hang my body for three days." Zi Yang said: "Yes." Sighing, Shui Rong called out: "An Zi, accompany Ben Wang went to see Prince Leshan."

After several months of fighting, Le Shan, who was originally burly, became a little rougher, but at this moment, he was lying there with a pale complexion, his burly body wrapped on the navy blue battle couch, as if he had lost his former strength in an instant. Chong Angzang, the Qingshu he was carrying was wiping his wound.

Seeing Shui Rong approaching, Qing Shu hurriedly got up to salute, Shui Rong waved his hands, then leaned over and asked, "What do you think, Brother Yang?" Le Shan smiled wryly, and said, "Yizheng has been fighting on the battlefield since he was 16 years old, and he has been fighting in the battlefield since he was 16 years old. It's been [-] years, and if you can wrap your horses around the battlefield and sacrifice your life at the border, it's a worthy death."

Shui Rong sternly said: "Yiqing doesn't allow Brother Yang to say that, I don't believe that there is an imperial doctor around, so I don't believe it can't be cured." Le Shan smiled sadly, and said: "My lord, don't deceive yourself, how could Yizheng not know his own injury."

Lowering his head, Shui Rong said: "Brother Yang, this is the injury he suffered on behalf of Yiqing, so how can Yiqing rest in peace." Le Shan glanced at Xiao Anzi and Qing Shu behind him, Shui Rong waved his hand, and said in a low voice: "Back up Down."
