Dai Yuxin says

Shui Rong smiled and said: "I can't help it, as long as I see you, I can't control my eyes."

He smiled at Daiyu, and turned the topic back to the early court.

He seemed very angry and said to Daiyu: "This morning, I heard the ministers discussing that the tribes in the northwest rebelled fiercely, and the border guards were retreating steadily. This group of rebels gained power and were very arrogant. They threatened to attack our capital. It's Chinese New Year."

Daiyu frowned when she heard this, and said angrily, "Those rebels are arrogant and arrogant. Now, the people in the frontier will suffer again."

Shui Rong felt the same way, and said, "Isn't it? I heard that after the rebels invaded the border, they burned, killed, looted, and committed all sorts of crimes. The guards at the border kept asking the court to quickly send troops to rescue them. Some people in the court suggested that the emperor should personally conscript, To show the country's prestige."

"Hundred to say! The emperor is the king of a country, the foundation of the country, how can he go to the imperial conquest?" Daiyu said disapprovingly.

Water soluble jet black eyes stared at Daiyu closely, feeling that Daiyu's words were very suitable for her, and her thoughts were consistent with her own.Then he smiled and said: "My thoughts are the same as Yu'er's. It is not suitable for the emperor to go on a personal expedition. It's just that the northwest rebels are too fierce and arrogant. If they don't give them a fatal blow, the frontier will not be peaceful for a while. If you want to give the rebels a fatal blow , the imperial court must send a heavyweight who knows how to fight."

Xueyan blinked her big eyes, a little nervous, and hurriedly asked: "My lord, will the emperor send you there?"

Shui Rong looked at Daiyu with reluctance, and said thoughtfully: "I was three years old and studied with my master. Every day, apart from dancing knives and guns, I learned martial arts and strategic warfare. It depends on the situation, father The emperor wants me to lead the army. However, if I don't mention it first, I don't think the emperor will ask me to go."

Daiyu raised her head, glanced at Shui Rong, and asked in a low voice: "When the country is in trouble, everyone is responsible. As the auxiliary prince, why don't you speak first to relieve the emperor's worries?"

Shui Rong lowered his head in embarrassment, and said in a low voice, "It hasn't been a year or so since I went out and I won't come back, I, I can't bear to leave you."

A stalwart man, in spite of shame, said such words in front of a weak woman.

This made Daiyu both moved and shocked.

She stared blankly at Shui Rong's sharp-edged face, and she didn't feel any regret when she saw him, and even felt a sense of relief.

Can't help sighing: What a man of iron blood and tenderness!

Daiyu nodded slightly, and said with red eyes, "Don't talk, I understand."

Shui Rongqing couldn't help stretching out her strong and powerful hands, pulled Daiyu into her arms, tightly held Daiyu's soft and boneless hands, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Yu'er, I listen to you, You can do whatever you say."

Daiyu hastily pushed Shui Rong, nodded slightly, and said softly: "As the eldest prince, since you have the ability, you must shoulder your responsibility to share the worries and solve the problems for the country, the people and the emperor."

"But, Yu'er, please don't laugh at me, I really can't bear to leave you. Leaving you, I really miss you so much." Shui Rong muttered softly, holding Daiyu's little hand against her cheek .

"The country is in trouble. As the eldest prince and auxiliary prince, when the country needs you to stand up, how can you back down for me? Then, wouldn't I be what people often say is a beauty? Brother Rong, The future will be long, we are so young, we will have good days." Daiyu's voice was like a milk swallow, and every word struck a water-soluble heartstring.

"Yu'er, Yu'er, what are you calling me? Call me again." Shui Rong's eyes lit up in surprise, and he kept urging.

Daiyu buried her head in a shy smile and said, "Brother Rong can only call out when there is no one around. I don't call you that when someone is around."

When Shui Jing heard Shui Rong's story, knowing that Daiyu was encouraging Shui Rong to lead the army for the country and the people, he was very pleased, and couldn't help secretly praising that he really had a good vision, and he didn't misunderstand Daiyu.

On the eve of the expedition, Ah Shan sent him a set of clothes and a hat.

Daiyu untied the bundle, and saw that the trousers and gown were blue-gray in color. Although the fabric was full of elasticity, it was a bit hard.Curiously asked: "What kind of material is this, I have never seen it before."

Ah Shan explained with a smile: "This is the Wannian Hanxuanrou finger iron that I accidentally obtained when I was digging underground ice. I took the time to make it into a protective suit. I heard that the prince is going to go to war. Useful."

Shui Rong picked it up, narrowed his eyes to the bright light, looked around carefully, and said to Ah Shan: "Before, on the mountain, I heard from my master that the Wannian Hanxuanrou fingering iron is just a legend in the myth. There really is such a thing.”

He went to the yard, put his clothes on the big bluestone, drew out his sword and slashed vigorously, "Bang Dang!" With a loud noise, the sword in Shui Rong's hand broke into two pieces, and one piece flew far away.

Looking at the bluestone under the clothes, except for a trace of being chopped, it turned out to be in good condition.

Shui Rong picked up the clothes, checked them carefully, and found that they were intact.

He exclaimed, "Amazing! It's amazing!"

Ah Shan smiled and said: "I made this dress rather bulky. When it's cold, the prince wears it outside the cotton padded jacket to keep warm. When the weather is hot, you can wear it next to your body. It's very cool. You don't need to wash it if it gets dirty. Just wipe it off with water."

Shui Rong stared at the clothes, hesitatingly said: "This dress is too precious, how can I have it?"

Ah Shan laughed loudly and said: "You are the future husband-in-law that the emperor pointed out to our girl. On the battlefield, swords have no eyes. If something happens to you, what will our girl do? For the sake of the girl, let alone such a battle uniform, Even if it is something more precious than this, as long as the prince needs it, Ah Shan will offer it with both hands."

Shui Rong chuckled and said, "Understood, thank you for your kindness."

He put on the battle uniform conveniently, turned around and asked Daiyu, "Yu'er, look, how is it?"

Xueyan picked up a hood with one finger, and asked with a smile, "Ah Shan, what is this?"

"Hehe, this is the mask I created. Give the prince a try." Ah Shan said, his eyes were full of pride.

Shui Rong happily took it, and put it on his head, just like the masks worn by modern bank robbers.

The mask covers from the water-soluble top of the head to the neck, only revealing two eyes, nose and mouth, and two ears.

The snow geese and Zijuan couldn't help laughing out loud.

Like a happy monkey, Shui Rong asked Daiyu happily, "Yu'er, what do you think?"

Daiyu turned her eyes to Ah Shan, and said: "Ah Shan built it, can it be good?"

Ah Shan could see that Daiyu's eyes were wet, filled with gratitude.

His heart trembled uncontrollably, he turned around, took a sword box, and said to Shui Rong, "Please open it, my lord."

Shui Rong opened the sword case, and saw a black three-foot sword inside.

He took out his sword, only to feel the cold.

People who practice martial arts have unique feelings about weapons.

Shui Rong held the sword regardless, played a game in the yard, and smiled at Ah Shan fondly: "A Shan, please do it to the end, lend me this sword, and how about returning it to you when I come back victorious?"

Ah Shan smiled and said: "A sword is worthy of a hero, this sword belongs to the prince, why do you borrow it?" Seeing that it was puzzled, he explained: "The prince is a hero who goes out for the country and the people, and he is worthy of this sword. This sword is made of Tianxin Xuansteel, and it is called the "Demon Love" sword. The owner of this sword is as loyal to his love as if possessed by a demon. In order to make his lover happy, he kills the enemy. , as if possessed by a demon, and he is merciless. This sword cuts iron like mud, and it is extremely sharp, it can be regarded as the best sword in the world."

Shui Rong raised the sword in one hand and touched the blade with the other, admiring it carefully.

Ah Shan beckoned, and a woman came over carrying an iron rod as thick as a bowl, and leaned against the wall.

Shui Rong knew it, held the sword in his hand, and swung it at the iron rod, with a "click", the iron rod broke into two pieces from the middle, and the sword was also intact.

"A good sword! What a good sword! It's a rare good sword!" Shui Rong praised loudly, then turned to A Shan and said, "Ah Shan, how did you get this good sword?" By coincidence, I found this sword when I was building an underground ice pipeline, and it must have been lying there for at least a thousand years."

Shui Rong held the sword and danced in the yard again.

After the dance, he smiled at Daiyu with sweat all over his face: "Yu'er, thank you for your kindness. In my heart, Ah Shan is better than my own brother."

Shui Rong is going to lead the army soon, Shui Jing holds a family feast for him in the palace, and takes Daiyu along.

There is no queen mother in this family banquet, only Shui Jing, his wives and his children.

Although it is a family banquet, there are many people.

At the banquet, Shui Jing asked the prince and his wife, and Shui Rong Daiyu to sit on both sides of him. He happily yelled at everyone to drink, and happily watched Shui Rong Shui Che talking. brother.

The queen was sitting on the side, it was like a decoration, she couldn't get in the way at all, she was very annoyed in her heart, not only didn't dare to show the slightest face, but also pretended to be happy, looking very happy.

The other princes and princesses have mixed emotions towards Shui Rong and Daiyu just like the prince, with envy and jealousy, appreciation and disgust.

In the end, Shui Jing was drunk and held his wine glass, and said loudly to the queen with misty eyes: "Queen, Yu'er's parents died since she was a child. From now on, I will be her father. You are the queen, and you are the mother of the world. Rong'er has gone to war!" , I entrust Yu’er’s safety to you. If Yu’er loses a hair, I will only ask you. How to ask? You, you can kill yourself.”

The last sentence was too serious, but fortunately Shui Jing said it after drinking too much wine.

After Shui Jing finished speaking, she turned to the Crown Princess and said, "You are the Crown Princess. It stands to reason that Yu'er will be your concubine in the future. Rong'er has gone to war. You should care more about her and take care of her."

The princess hurriedly got up and saluted and agreed.

Shui Jing smiled with satisfaction, held the wine glass in his hand, looked around, and shouted loudly: "There are you!"

Those concubines, princes and princesses hurriedly got up and saluted and agreed.

Daiyu's face was flushed with embarrassment, and she felt as if she was sitting on pins and needles, wishing she could slip through a crack in the ground.

Shui Rong saw that Daiyu was so ashamed that she was so anxious that she was at a loss, she repeatedly called out: "Father!"

The princess stood up, whispered to the prince, came to support Daiyu, and smiled at Shui Jing: "I will go out with Miss Lin to get some air, and I will be back in a while."

Seeing Daiyu's face flushed, Shui Jing laughed and said: "Yu'er is shy, okay, you go out with Yu'er for a walk, and let Rong'er take her back later."

The princess accompanied Daiyu out of the door, and Xueyan followed closely to support Daiyu.

"Miss Lin, I really envy you." The princess said softly, reaching out to hold Daiyu.

"Prince Princess is joking, Daiyu is just an orphan girl with no father and mother, and she has been wrongly loved by the emperor." Daiyu lowered her head and whispered, taking a deep breath of the fresh air outside the house.

"Really, Miss Lin may not know that although I was born in a famous family, my father died in battle very early, and my mother was so sad that she also passed away early to follow my father. I grew up with my grandparents, do I know The pain of your parents. Suffering when you are a child is not considered suffering, but suffering when you grow up is real suffering. The prince who is the assistant prince loves you like a treasure, and the emperor has great pity for you. Therefore, your happiness is really enviable." The concubine whispered earnestly, speaking very sincerely, without the slightest hint of jealousy.

In such an environment, Daiyu felt that it was rare for the Crown Princess to speak like this, so she couldn't help thinking about her, and took a few more glances at her.

The Crown Princess is an extremely intelligent woman, and she has noticed the slight changes in Daiyu.

He smiled and said: "I am two years older than the prince. I am 19 years old this year, and I am six years older than you. If you are not because of the emperor's brother, you should call me sister. If the father didn't say it just now, I will say more." I care about you and take care of you. In fact, these years, the prince has had a hard time. Our mother passed away very early. There are more than a dozen brothers and sisters. The prince's only brother disappeared when he was two years old. .He became the crown prince, and he was really lonely and lonely.”

The princess said in a low voice, holding Daiyu's little hand tightly, and smiled softly: "It's all right now, the emperor is back, and the prince has to rely on. I still have such an amiable and lovely little emperor like you." Sister-in-law, you don't know how much I envy and like you in my heart."

Under the faint moonlight, the princess's delicate face was as bright and clean as a white lotus, making her look extremely charming.

Early the next morning, Shui Rong was riding a white dragon horse, wearing a battle uniform specially made for him by Ah San, and a white brocade battle robe embroidered with gold silk as a gift from the emperor. In his chest is the embroidered pouch that Daiyu gave him, which contains a few strands of hair that he stole from Daiyu's head.

The emperor led civil and military officials to send Shui Rong to the outside of the capital, and talked a lot of words of encouragement to Shui Rong.

Shui Rong listened to it, although his heart was warm, but he looked up from time to time, harboring traces of anticipation.

He smiled and accepted the worship of civil and military officials, and listened to Shui Jing's earnest teaching, but his eyes looked into the distance.

After the salute was fired, Shui Rong led the army and had to leave.

He is sitting on a white dragon horse, with a white battle robe and a golden helmet, he is heroic and majestic.

His eyes showed deep regret from time to time, because the person he longed for did not come to see him off.

Ten miles long pavilion, green grass, flowers in full bloom.

Sitting on a stone bench, Daiyu watched the azaleas and snow geese busily arranging wine and dishes.

"Girl, they are here!" Following Ah Shan's shout, Daiyu walked out of the pavilion with a smile on her face, and saw the direction of the capital, with banners flying, people neighing and horses screaming, and an army soon appeared in front of her eyes.

The most dazzling is the white horse, white robe and gold helmet, with a heroic figure and a water-melting appearance.

I saw his back straight and his golden helmet glaring in the sunlight.

Like a gust of wind, Shui Rong came to the pavilion.

Regardless of the soldiers of the three armies behind him, he picked up Daiyu, hugged his chest tightly, and said with a grin: "I didn't see Yu'er outside the city gate, so I guess I will see you here. It's really good." .”

Daiyu laughed softly: "Put me down quickly, look behind you, everyone is laughing."

As soon as Shui Rong put down Daiyu, Zijuan came over with a tray without losing the opportunity, Xueyan poured wine, Daiyu held up the wine glass, put it in front of Shui Rong, and said with a forced smile: "This glass of wine is for the lord: victory is achieved, and success will come soon." Shui Rong took it Drank it down.

Daiyu offered a second glass of wine and said with a smile: "This second glass of wine, I wish the prince good health and a triumphant return as soon as possible." Shui Rong took it and drank it down.

Before Daiyu could take the third glass of wine, Shui Rong snatched it over, held it in her hand, and raised it high: "This third glass of wine, when I return from victory, I will drink with Yu'er. I hope Yu'er is at home." Eat more, sleep more, be in good health, be in good spirits, and everything will be fine."

Daiyu smiled and said, "Yu'er has remembered Brother Rong's words, please rest assured Brother Rong. Take care on the front line and don't let Yu'er down."

The prince led the people, holding the wine, hurried over, and said with a smile: "I guessed that Miss Lin would be here, so I didn't dare to disturb you too early. The imperial brother is here to toast the wine to the imperial brother, to do a good job for the imperial brother."

The sun rose and shone hotly on the earth.

Daiyu and the person who saw her off at the end watched eagerly the water-melted figure gradually getting smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared into the distance.

"Girl, the lord has gone far, let's go back." Zijuan persuaded in a low voice, and gently tugged on Daiyu's skirt.

"Miss Lin, when the imperial brother was leaving, he gave me an explanation. Every time we exchange official documents, we have to exchange a personal letter from the girl." The crown prince looked at Daiyu's graceful figure, feeling unspeakable and unclear. I just hope that I can do my part for the happiness of this girl.

Daiyu followed the prince and others back to the capital, walked into Yuyuan, stepped into Zhilan Hall, sat on the embroidered pier, and felt her heart was both sore and sweet.

Xiu Gu brought some snacks and said with a smile, "Miss, you are tired, let's eat something."

Daiyu picked up a piece of snack and ate it tastelessly, still thinking about the scene when she saw her off.

The little girl poked her head out, Xueyan saw her walking over and asked, "Look at you, what's the matter?"

The little girl smiled and said: "Sister Xueyan, this is the invitation I just received at the gate, saying that the day after tomorrow is the birthday of the old lady of the Jia family." He glanced at it thoughtfully, put it down casually, and frowned without saying a word.

Zijuan knew that Daiyu was upset.If you don't go, you can't justify it in terms of etiquette.

If you go, I don't know what kind of moth that screwdriver will have.

Zijuan understands Daiyu's mood very well, even though Daiyu doesn't want to go, she will go eventually.

So, he asked in a low voice: "The day after tomorrow, when the girl goes to pay her birthday wishes, what kind of gift should I prepare?"

Daiyu didn't speak, but looked at Xiugu with her eyes.

Seeing this, Xiu Gu smiled and said, "Since Jia's mansion has sent an invitation card, if it is according to the gift of relatives, the old lady is at this age, and it will be an integer birthday. According to the girl's current status, if she does not go, I am afraid that Jia's mansion will spread the word that the girl does not understand." Etiquette. If you go, the current situation in Yijia Mansion may cause delusional thoughts on the girl. The slave has an idea, if the girl thinks it is not good, she will be a slave and say nothing."

Xueyan smiled and said, "Aunt Xiu, don't be a fool, okay? Tell me quickly."

Xiu Gu smiled and said: "It's the old lady's birthday the day after tomorrow, why don't you prepare a gift tomorrow, and go there to kowtow to the old lady first, and say that the day after tomorrow the princess will come to find the girl to pray for the auxiliary king in the temple. The appointment is made, and the emperor knows that it is not easy to change it, so I will celebrate the old lady's birthday in advance. The day after tomorrow will be the real birthday, and it is not impolite for the girl not to go. At the same time, it also shows people that they have kept a distance from Jia's house."

Daiyu turned her eyes to Zijuan again, nodded slightly to her, and asked her opinion.

Zijuan said calmly and slowly: "Aunt Xiu is right, the current situation of Yijia Mansion, I wish the girl could live in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion again, give them everything, and let the assistant king be at their mercy in the future. It's a pity that they did things too badly at the beginning. Although the girl is not a person who loves to hold grudges, she was hurt again and again, and she almost lost her life. If the girl goes to show their kindness to them again, then anyone can really bully What a fool."

Daiyu looked at Zicuckoo and said with a smile: "Look, we Zicuckoo either just don't say anything, or say a lot, who dares to bully us?"

Zijuan said embarrassingly: "He is telling the truth, and the girl is still joking with him, so I won't tell you." Then, she pouted her mouth, twisted her body, lifted the curtain and went out.

"Look, Miss Zijuan has such a temper." Daiyu looked at Zijuan's back with a teasing smile in her eyes, and said to Xiugu, "Xiugu, go and prepare a gift for me. Tomorrow I will go to Jia's mansion to celebrate the old lady's birthday."

Jiamu's birthday made Baochai anxious.

Now Sister Feng has retired to the second line. She is like Baochai before.

No matter who is looking for her, they don't ask what the matter is, just say: go to Second Grandma Bao, she is now the head of the house.

The thing that Sister Feng cares most about every day is to laugh with Jia Mu and make her happy.

Since Yuan Chun's death, Jia's social circle has become narrower and narrower, and life has become more and more difficult. They are used to spending money, and there is no way to save money if they want to.

There were few ways to get money in the first place, but now that the umbrella of the empress in the palace is not there, it is even more cut off.

On weekdays, Baochai had no choice but to pawn things when encountering things that cost money. Now there are not many things that can be pawned in Jia's mansion.

The old lady's birthday can't be done in a bad way, otherwise how can she have the face to hang out in the capital?
