Dai Meng of the Red Chamber

In the middle of the night, Daiyu felt the coolness around her, so she couldn't help but open her eyes, and through the dim light from the outer room, she saw that there was nothing around her, even the long clothes hanging on the wardrobe before going to bed were gone.

Turning her heavy body sideways, Daiyu sat up slowly, and called out in a low voice: "Yiqing." The room was quiet, only the faint sound of the wind outside from time to time.

He called out "Zicuckoo" in a low voice, and after a while, Zijuan came in with sleepy eyes, saw that Daiyu had sat up, hurriedly stepped forward and whispered: "Princess, be careful."

Daiyu whispered: "Where is the lord?" Zijuan said: "The lord has been out for a long time, he just said to go to the yard to get some air." Without making a sound, Daiyu couldn't help but look outside at the dark night , There was a worry in my heart that suddenly became clear.

Zijuan persuaded: "Princess, don't worry, it must be something in the court that bothers the prince." Daiyu shook her head and said in a low voice: "You don't understand, I think the prince seems to have something on his mind when he comes back these few days. Land, I often see him frowning when no one is around, sometimes wake up at night, only to find that he is not asleep, and tonight..."

After thinking for a while, Daiyu suddenly said to Zijuan: "Bring me my cloak and go out with me to have a look." , Princess, take care of yourself."

Daiyu's face turned serious, and she said: "Did you hear that? Bring the cloak here." Zijuan silently glanced at Daiyu, turned around, took the cloak that was put aside, and carefully put it on for Daiyu. At the end of the day, he was afraid that Daiyu would be cold, so he handed over the stove again, and then helped Daiyu to go out.

The night was bleak and the moon was as clear as water. As soon as the door was opened and the cold wind hit, Daiyu couldn't help shrinking a little. After walking along the winding path, she saw a tall and lonely figure standing beside the bare flower corridor in front of her. There, the night wind blew his untied long hair and long cloak, giving him a feeling of elegance and desolation.

Daiyu didn't make a sound, she quietly looked at the figure in the night, because of the staggered flowers and vines covering him, he looked desolate under the moonlight, suddenly a gust of wind blew past, and the person in front couldn't help shaking slightly A moment, followed by a helpless sigh.There was a kind of pain that filled her heart involuntarily. Looking at him, Daiyu realized that the heartache could really be so deep. She whispered "Yiqing" in her heart, and Daiyu found a drop of clearness in her eyes. Tears fell.

Seems to have a heart-to-heart connection, Shui Rong in front seemed to have heard Daiyu's call, and couldn't help turning around. When he first saw Daiyu under the moonlight, Shui Rong was stunned for a moment, then hurried over, stretched out his hand to take off the cloak on his body, Putting it lightly on Daiyu's body, she said in a low voice: "Xiao'er, why are you out? Go back to your room, it's cold at night."

Without making a sound, Daiyu looked up at Shui Rong. Under the moonlight, Shui Rong's clear eyes were like night stars, dark and deep, with a kind of anxiety and concern that he did not hide.

Lowering her head, Daiyu said softly: "Since you know it's cold in the night, why are you still standing in the air in the middle of the night?" Sighing softly, Shui Rong hugged Daiyu in his arms slowly, and said after a while: "I'm sleeping No, come out and get some air."

Lying in Shui Rong's arms, Daiyu whispered: "Yiqing, you have something to hide from me, let alone not, I can feel your anxiety these days."

There was no sound for a long time, Shui Rong just hugged Daiyu, just when Daiyu was about to ask again, but he heard Shui Rong say in a rather desolate way: "Younger, if one day I don't become this prince, you don't mind."

Without hesitation, Daiyu said: "Yiqing, the person I care about is you, whether you are a prince or an ordinary person." Feeling a slight pause of the arms wrapped around her shoulders, she heard Shui Rong say in a low voice: "Xiaoer, Don't worry, it's just the matter in the court that makes it difficult for me to make a choice, now you are enough, I can handle even the most difficult things, trust me."

After a while, Shui Rong seemed to say casually: "Xiao'er, I will take you back to your hometown to have a look at that day, that would be great."

Nodding her head lightly, Daiyu said in a low voice: "I once said, life is with you, death is with you, Yiqing, no matter what happens, I will never leave you."

Another gust of cold wind blew by, Daiyu couldn't help shrunk into Shui Rong's embrace, closed her eyes, and felt that no matter how strong the wind was, she was not afraid, because there was a warm and solid embrace that would always protect her from wind and waves.

The cold north wind was still screaming sharply, looking at the darkened night, Daiyu in Yuzhu Garden sighed softly: "Zicuckoo, go and see, the prince hasn't returned yet."

Xueyan handed over the stove and said: "Princess, go back and have a rest. If the prince comes back and sees you like this, he will feel distressed again." Looking outside the door again, Daiyu said faintly: "Xueyan, you haven't seen me?" The prince has become a little thinner these days."

Xueyan said: "Maybe it's worrying about the affairs of the court, Wangfei doesn't need to worry, besides, Wangfei's body is getting heavier and heavier, so you should relax, or you have to make Wangye worry about it."

Helping Xueyan back to the couch slowly, Daiyu said: "I always feel a little uneasy in my heart, I have never seen him like this before, besides, the matter that time is not all right, what else can the prince worry about?" Woolen cloth."

In the south study, Shui Rong stood in front of the window, silently looking at the dark night outside, with an unconcealable anxiety in his deep clear eyes.

Not long ago, in the imperial study room, Long Mu said slowly: "Yiqing, what do you think about the Leshan thing." Shui Rong thought for a while and said: "The emperor has a holy intention, how dare I make wild guesses."

Long Mu smiled slightly and said: "You, Prince of the North, have also learned this from me. You are ambiguous and paradoxical. This is not your usual behavior."

Shui Rong smiled lightly and said: "The minister is telling the truth, the emperor has had hills and valleys in his chest." Long Mu said: "I am also a little hesitant, but although Le Shan sacrificed his life for the country, I can't be kind to his previous affairs. Otherwise, what will those people who have already dealt with me think of me."

Shui Rong's heart trembled, and then he said calmly: "The emperor is holy." Long Mu said: "Let's take it easy in advance, if not, Le Shan's bones are not cold, I will..."

Without going on, Shui Rong understood what the emperor meant, and after a pause, Long Mu said: "Wouldn't the civil and military officials think that I'm too heartless?"

After hesitating for a while, Shui Rong said: "Your Majesty, although Le Shan made a mistake first, he can be considered as a sacrifice for the country. I think..." Long Mu glanced at Shui Rong silently, and said flatly: "I heard that Le Shan was at the time Situation, Le Shan got the arrow because he pushed you."

Shui Rong nodded, and said: "Yes." Sighing, the emperor said: "Yiqing, I also understand your feelings, but this matter concerns several official residences, if I pardon Leshan Prince's residence because of your pleading, then Let me deal with the rest of the people and the mansion, let alone those who have already copied the mansion to rectify the law."

Raising his head, Long Mu's face regained the majesty of the emperor, and said: "Yiqing, you are my servant, no matter whether I am Lord Mu or the emperor, you are always loyal to me, please give me a pardon I will definitely consider the reason."

Shui Rong's heart couldn't help but move, and then he said: "I thanked the emperor for his long grace, since the emperor said that this matter is not urgent, then Rong Chen should go back and think about it."

After stepping down from the dragon case, Long Mu smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you, the imperial sister is doing well these days, Yiqing, you are really capable, adding two at a time, I'm envious."

Shui Rong smiled lightly and said, "Your Majesty already has a group of princes, and Yiqing is envious." With a smile, the two monarchs and ministers seem to have returned to the tacit understanding before.

Heaving a sigh of relief, Shui Rong in the South study slowly came back to his senses, just as he sat in front of the desk, he heard Xiao Anzi outside say: "My lord, the young master is here."

Standing up, Shui Rong said: "Second brother, come in."

Seeing Shui Ning who came in, the blue shirt made him look elegant and elegant, and that idle look gave Shui Ning a different kind of demeanor, Shui Rong couldn't help feeling a little ashamed in his heart.

Under the light of Youyou, the two brothers sat facing each other, the aroma of the hot tea in their hands wafting up, making the room extra warm for no reason.

Looking at Shui Ning, Shui Rong said, "Second brother, do you still remember when you were a child?" Shui Ning glanced at Shui Rong thoughtfully, and then said calmly, "Remember, in order to help me avoid my master's punishment, Brother Wang, Secretly copied the characters for me, but unfortunately we were all young at that time, so we didn't expect the handwriting to be different, and Brother Bai Rang Wang also got a board."

Looking at each other and smiling, Shui Rong and Shui Ni seemed to have returned to their childhood days.

Sipping his tea lightly, Shui Rong said casually: "Brother Wang remembers that my second brother is only nine months younger than me. Seeing that Brother Wang is about to become a father, the second brother is ready to make a marriage."

Shui Ning smiled bleakly, and then said faintly: "Not everyone is blessed with Brother Wang's fortune. The younger brother's affairs are not in a hurry. What's more, the younger brother is thinking about it these days. It has been more than half a year since we left the border. I really miss that little brother." It's a day of riding the horse and whipping the whip."

Shui Rong said in a low voice: "Listen to what Brother Wang said, don't go back, the emperor told me last time that he wants to assign you a real job, not to mention people are in the border, swords have no eyes, how can you let mother concubine and us I can rest assured."

Shui Ning sighed softly: "Maybe the border is my best destination." Shui Rong's face darkened, and he said sharply: "No, some things are not what you want."

His expression eased, and Shui Rong said: "Second brother, listen to what Brother Wang said, and don't go to Bian Bian again. You also know that if Lord Leshan didn't sacrifice his life to help this time, then Brother Wang..."

Before he could finish speaking, a trace of pain and sadness flashed across his handsome face.Shui Xi didn't make a sound, just sighed lightly.

After a while, Shui Rong said: "Second Brother, Brother Wang called you today because I have something to tell you." Shui Ning was slightly taken aback, then said: "Brother Wang, please tell me."

After a pause, Shui Rong said: "Second brother is not young, Brother Wang is going to make a marriage for you." Shui Ning stood up suddenly, and said: "Although the affairs of the mansion are decided by Brother Wang, my affairs It’s up to me to decide, I don’t agree.”

Shui Rong shouted sharply: "Sit down, and listen to me." After thinking for a while, Shui Ning sat down slowly, with a fearless look on Qingya's face.
