Dai Yuxin says

Shui Che is clear: the emperor's brother Shui Rong loves beauties and does not love the country, and has no interest in the throne. This does not mean that other princes have no interest in the throne.

He almost lost his life in the danger in Gerqin, and the seventh prince committed suicide in fear of crime. There is no evidence that these major events are related to this Prince Yi.

Shui Che thought: For many years, King Yi, who had a good relationship with King Geerqin and the Seventh Prince, could not find the slightest clue to show his connection with the Seventh Prince in this incident of murdering himself. doubts.

Shui Jing taught him by words and deeds of the heir to the throne for many years, and strictly trained him, which has made him express his emotions and anger, keep everything in his heart, and be quick to act and accept in words.

He whispered to the upright Shui Rong: "Brother Huang, let's go over and have a look, don't let people say that my brothers look down on people."

As he said that, he pulled up his water-soluble sleeves, walked to the stairs with a pleasant face, and stood there with a young face showing the appearance of a corporal.

Prince Yi took Princess Yi with him, his face was full of smiles, the smile couldn't hide his haggard face, every step he took, seemed to be tied with heavy sandbags on his legs, walking slowly and heavily.

Looking up, he saw two Shui Rong brothers standing at the stairs, one was cold and the other was smiling. He felt as if he had knocked over a bottle of five flavors, and felt unspeakably uncomfortable.He hurriedly put on a smiling face, greeted Shui Rong brothers with enthusiasm like a pot of fire, and saluted everyone in the room politely and thoughtfully.

"Yo! Miss Lin is a little fatter than before, and more beautiful." Princess Yi smiled, like her sisters who haven't seen each other for a long time, walking towards Daiyu with a smile.

The corner of Daiyu's mouth twitched, and she nodded lightly, as a greeting.

Then he turned his body to the side of the Crown Princess and looked at Princess Yi calmly, really not wanting to speak.

Baochai, who was following Princess Yi, took half a step forward, raised his hand and smiled at Daiyu, and greeted Daiyu affectionately: "Sister Lin, hello! The old lady always talks about you, saying why you are so cruel, and you haven't seen her for a long time. "

Daiyu's pretty face was as cold as ice, and she gave her a cold look, and she was too lazy to talk to her.

According to the usual practice of noble ladies, at this time, Baochai should stay at home to raise her baby with peace of mind, how can she walk around in the cold weather as the year is approaching?

Yingchun took a closer look at Baochai, and saw that her belly was already very conspicuous. Even though she was wearing a lot of loose clothes in this cold twelfth lunar month, it still couldn't cover her longing for a bulging belly.

Yingchun, who was so thoughtful, couldn't figure it out, how could Baochai come here?

Baochai is really a rare talent!

Ever since she met Princess Yi at Prince Teng's house, she has really tried her best, and now she has become a person that Princess Yi cannot leave for even a moment.

There are really many things in the world that people can't figure out or understand.

Princess Yi, who has always been arrogant and domineering, did not know what kind of ecstasy she had taken. She just liked Baochai's eyes and felt that Baochai's words were pleasing to her ears.

It stands to reason that for a declining family like the Jia Mansion and a serious prince like him, even though he is an idle prince with no real power, there is no need for his concubine to associate with a woman like Xue Baochai.

In fact, Prince Yi has his own unique idea: the Jia family behind Xue Baochai is nothing, but Lin Daiyu, who is connected with the Jia family's blood, cannot be ignored.

Lin Daiyu is like a shining golden key. If he can grasp the golden key of Lin Daiyu, he can open the lock of water dissolution.

After unlocking the water-soluble lock, he will be able to open the way to the highest level of the palace and gain the power he dreams of.

How to grasp the golden key of Lin Daiyu?Very difficult.

The Lin Daiyu in front of him is like a martial arts master wearing an iron shirt, people can't find her life gate, and they can't attack her.

Xue Baochai is Lin Daiyu's cousin. According to Xue Baochai, they are sisters who grew up together and know Lin Daiyu best.

Birds of a feather flock together, people divide into groups, flies love to bite stinky meat, Princess Yi cannot do without Xue Baochai.

Concubine Yi likes Baochai, and Jia's family is of course overjoyed and fully supports her.

Today, Prince Yi wanted to bring her to Gongzhuling to admire the plum blossoms, but despite Baochai's big belly and round waist, she insisted on bringing her here too.

Of course, this was also the result of Baochai's little tricks in front of Princess Yi.

Baochai learned from Princess Yi that the prince sent someone to set up the Qinxin Pavilion in Gongzhuling, so she speculated that Shui Rong might take Daiyu to admire the plum blossoms.

People are weird, and the people you hate the most are often the people you are most familiar with and have the closest relationship with.

Baochai knows that she and Daiyu do not belong to the same level, and Daiyu's identity has already undergone a fundamental change.

Just because Daiyu is the direct cousin of Jia's family and Baoyu's favorite cousin, she is not convinced, and she is so jealous that she wants to die.

When she thought of Daiyu, she felt jealous, her heart was like a knife, and she couldn't control her madness.

Now she likes being with Princess Yi in Prince Yi's Mansion very much. They have common interests, common enemies, and common topics.

She thought that in front of the very noble Princess Yi, she could find both confidence and comfort.

She felt that when she was in Jia's mansion, she was like a fish frying in an oil pan, and she would never be able to jump out of the hot oil pan that was burning on the fire.

Because whenever she thought of Baoyu, she felt uncomfortable.

Although Baoyu is now immersed in reading every day and doesn't often talk to her, every time he sees her, he will turn his dark eyes to her stomach, which makes her feel guilty involuntarily.

And seeing Mrs. Jia Muwang every day, they are the children in her belly who can't leave each other.

Although the child in her womb was already confirmed to be the authentic heir of the Jia family, she was still uneasy.

As the saying goes: Which family of children is like which family of adults.

Baochai was not sure whether the child in her womb was like the loyal prince or the censor of the Ministry of punishment.

No one knows the authenticity until the counterfeit is brought out.

If the counterfeit is taken out and appreciated by people every day, there is no guarantee that people will not see the flaws and be seen through.

Concubine Yi is opposite Daiyu, and the Crown Princess sits down on the right side. Baochai, as Concubine Yi's piano teacher, can only be regarded as a high-ranking servant, and there is no place for her here.

Baochai stood behind Princess Yi with her belly outstretched, her heart was pounding, her legs and feet felt numb, and her blood was surging.

She raised her eyes and saw that Ermu Jia Yingchun in the Grand View Garden, who was only more breathless than a dead man, was sitting solemnly under Daiyu, and her mind was even more unbalanced.

She thought that this woman who married into the Sun's family and was tortured to death by her in-law's family, and now she is regarded as a woman who has been abandoned by others, is sitting in a stately manner, while she, the direct sister-in-law of the imperial concubine, is standing with a big belly. It's so unfair!

With this in mind, Baochai smiled maliciously at Yingchun, seemingly whispering, but in fact greeted loudly: "Second sister, I didn't expect you to be here!"

Princess Yi heard that Baochai's voice was soft and warm, and there was a special question, so she couldn't help turning her face away, and asked with a smile: "Besides Miss Lin, are there any other relatives of yours here?"

Seeing that Yingchun was cold and indifferent, Baochai refused to talk to her, pointed to Yingchun, and pretended to reply unintentionally: "This is Jia Yingchun, my sister-in-law, who once married the Sun family..."

"Oh, once married to the Sun family? How do you say that?" Princess Yi immediately took Baochai's words and asked without any hesitation.

Yingchun glared at Baochai angrily, her complexion turned pale, and the corners of her mouth trembled.

Daiyu squinted at Princess Yi, and said indifferently: "This sister Yingchun is separated from Sun Jiayi, and now she is independent and free. She does not depend on anyone, and lives on her own, with self-respect and self-love. Do you have any questions? "

The princess cast a beam of admiration, and praised: "A woman can take this step without a lot of courage. It is impossible to do it. It is even more remarkable to be able to support herself independently!"

Concubine Yi said unwillingly: "Isn't she a girl from the Jia family?" She wanted to say: She was divorced by her husband's family, so she returned to her natal family and lived by her natal family.

Yingchun said bluntly: "I am the water poured out by Jia's mansion, and I have nothing to do with Jia's mansion."

In this day and age, it is very shameful for a woman to be divorced by her husband's family.

When Baochai said this, he had no good intentions at all, but wanted to humiliate Yingchun and embarrass Daiyu, but it backfired.

At this time, only listening to the man's side, someone was asking the prince: "The people below are asking if dinner is ready?"

The prince glanced at the female relatives who were talking, and said with a teasing smile: "Let's have dinner, it doesn't matter if the emperor's brother is hungry, if the emperor's wife is starved, my crime will be serious."

Shui Rong didn't care about these things, he just smiled gently at Shui Che and said, "It's time for dinner."

If they didn't know, who would have guessed that this was the famous Generalissimo on the Northwest battlefield?

The servants opened the table with their hands, set the bowls, chopsticks and spoons, and the servants below delivered the dishes to the door like a stream of water, and then the maids delivered them to the dining table, and the maids of Qinxin Pavilion placed them.

Qinxin Pavilion was originally planned to have two tables, but now it has been changed to one table.

In order to take care of Daiyu's relatives and welcome the Spring Festival, Shui Che suggested with a smile: "Since you are here to enjoy the plum blossoms, you should be happy. Today we all have fun together, don't be reserved."

The gentle and virtuous princess, without a doubt, raised her hands in favor.

The prince asked Shui Rong to take a seat, Shui Rong smiled, walked over and took Daiyu's little hand, went to a place near the window, picked a seat at random, and said with a smile: "I'll sit here, near the window, and Yu'er can eat at the same time. Looking outside."

Prince Shui Che likes Shui Rong very much and puts Daiyu as the most important thing. Not only is he not ashamed of Shui Rong's unmanly behavior, but he appreciates it very much and condones it.

Naturally, Shui Che no longer gave way, and sat in the main seat automatically, with Shui Rong Daiyu on the left.

Seeing Yingchun standing there in a daze, Daiyu waved to her, "Second Sister, come to me."

The crown princess also greeted Yingchun and asked her to sit beside Daiyu.

Sitting on Shui Che's right hand is the Crown Princess.

Princess Yi stared straight at the Crown Princess, thinking that her seat should be the seat of her own Prince Yi. Now that she is sitting, where is Prince Yi sitting?Is it possible to sit in the first seat to accompany the guests?

"Brother, just sit here with me." The princess patted the seat beside her and waved to her brother Jie.

Prince Shui Che also laughed and said: "Sit casually, this is not a formal occasion, don't pay attention to those formalities."

Jie smiled honestly, walked up to his sister and sat down next to the princess, who happened to be face to face with Yingchun.

Prince Yi didn't seem to feel anything, he laughed and smoothed things over and said: "The prince is right, when we go out to play, we have to put aside those hypocrisy, so that everyone can have a good time."

As he spoke, he sat down on Jie's lower head, and Princess Yi sat beside her husband with her mouth pouted.Looking at Yingchun sitting beside Daiyu, he thought to himself: What kind of world is this!A woman who was abandoned by her husband's family can sit on the same level as the prince and princess, and she doesn't even want the face of the royal family.

Therefore, Princess Yi, who has always been unwilling to suffer and is used to being free and self-willed, nodded emotionally to Baochai and said, "Sit down too. You are also Concubine Yuan Gui's direct sister-in-law. Speaking of which, you and our royal family are also the same. If you can get on with the relationship, you are qualified to sit in this position."

The meaning of Princess Yi's words is obvious, you, Lin Daiyu, haven't got married yet, so you can't be considered a real royal, and your status is not even as high as that of Xue Baochai.

Daiyu was looking out of the window at the moment, maybe she didn't pay attention to Princess Yi's words, maybe she just didn't bother to know her.

Shui Rong is a big man, he never cared about trivial matters, listening to Princess Yi's voice, he felt that she was targeting Daiyu, which was not a good thing.He was very unhappy in his heart, he looked directly at Princess Yi, the cold light in his eyes made her shiver involuntarily, she lowered her head, not daring to look at Shui Rong.

Prince Yi didn't seem to feel anything at all, with a smile on his face, cheerfully talking and laughing with Shui Che, trying his best to create a harmonious and friendly atmosphere.

Because of the arrival of Yi Wang and his wife and Baochai, Daiyu was too lazy to talk. Shui Rong looked at Yi Wang and his wife, feeling very unhappy. In order to take care of Shui Che's face, he stayed. Say a few words.

Yingchun's whole heart is on Daiyu, apart from taking care of Daiyu, busy picking vegetables for her, she rarely speaks on her own initiative.

The Crown Princess is also focusing on taking care of Daiyu, and at the same time dealing with Princess Yi, not wanting to make the situation too embarrassing.

Jie bowed his head shyly to eat the vegetables. No one talked to him, and he didn't take the initiative to talk to others. He only occasionally glanced at Yingchun.

All this fell into Baochai's eyes.

At this time, Baochai already knew that Jie was the eldest brother of the princess and a good friend of the prince Shui Che since he was a child.

She observed his words and felt that Jie seemed to be interested in Yingchun.The belly said: If Jia Yingchun falls into Jie's eyes, he can be regarded as a concubine, even if he is a concubine, as long as he has Shui Rong and Daiyu's backing, he will have a good name in the future.

I thought that I was really pitiful, following that cowardly and incompetent Jia Baoyu who accomplished nothing, I would have nothing to do with Ling Yunzhi in my life.

Baochai was a bit self-defeating, thinking that anyway, he had experienced a few men, so he didn't care about one more man, if he could openly build the plank road with Princess Yi, and secretly spend time with Prince Yi.He didn't ask for money, but only asked for more protection for Baoyu's future, so that he could also get a seal in the future.

She felt that she only had to pick the flowers when they were ready to be picked, instead of waiting for the flowers to fall and pick off the broken branches. This beautiful and fragrant peony of hers should play its due role.She is not ashamed of her behavior, but thinks that she is making sacrifices for the Jia family, and she is a rare good woman.

In order to find a reason for herself, she thought of many books she had read. It was recorded in the books that Wu Zetian in the Tang Dynasty followed Lao Tzu first and then her son. Yang Yuhuan followed her son first and then Lao Tzu.

As long as you can succeed, it is an achievement in life. If you want to achieve great things, you can't stick to gossip.

Right and wrong during life are left to future generations to comment, there are derogations and praises.

What's more, everything I do is done in the dark, who knows?

Just as Baochai watched Daiyu being cared for in every possible way and Yingchun being secretly loved by others, he felt angry and annoyed, lamenting and complaining to himself, unknowingly, after three rounds of drinking and five flavors of food, the table was full only to hear Prince Yi laughing and laughing voice, occasionally mixed with the prince's voice, it is really difficult to raise interest.

Prince Yi was exhausted from socializing and felt very tired.

Suddenly hearing the melodious singing sound from a distance, Prince Shui Che suggested with a casual smile, "We might as well call some singers over to serve the wine, how about?"

Jie looked at Shui Che and said with a smile, "We have female relatives here, so it's a bit uncomfortable, isn't it?"

Prince Yi smiled and obeyed Shui Che, and said: "Hey, what's the matter? We just called two girls who can play and sing to add to the fun. The Crown Princess and Miss Lin usually don't go out, so they finally came out today. Now, why not have a taste of folk fun?"

Seeing that Shui Rong was busy picking vegetables for Daiyu, Shui Che looked at the princess and said with a smile, "We are all in casual clothes, and no one knows our identities. Just according to Prince Yi's words, it is better to find two, don't bother." Dirty Miss Lin and the others' ears."

Soon, an old bustard with heavy makeup came up from below, leading two girls in gorgeous costumes, and behind him were two girls holding qin and pipa.

They walked to the table with low eyebrows, and after kneeling and prostrating, the old bustard smiled coquettishly and said, "These two girls were originally ladies from the official family, and they just came to our courtyard not long ago. One can play the piano and the other can play the pipa. My lord What do you want to hear first?"

Princess Yi remembered that Prince Yi said that Jia Yuanchun was good at the piano, and she believed that Prince Yi liked to listen to the piano, so she said first: "Let's play a nice piece first."

Daiyu's appetite was small, and she was tired of Prince Yi's constant smirking and chattering words, and even more tired of Baochai and Princess Yi's sweeping gazes, so she simply didn't look at them, and turned her eyes to the glass window, looking Crowded and squeezed together, thousands of wintersweets blooming in full bloom, thinking in my heart: This vast world is complicated, good, beautiful, ugly, and evil, there is really everything.

Baochai and Yingchun seemed dumbfounded, speechless in shock, staring blankly at the singing girl in front of them.

"Hongxing, play a nice tune for Madam." The old bustard turned around and ordered, and the little girl skillfully cooperated with the Qinxin Pavilion maid to arrange the piano.

Hong Xing bowed her head and walked slowly to sit in front of the piano, facing Yao Qin, with tears in her eyes, stretched out her slender hands, and raised her head to ask the master what kind of music she wanted to hear.

Zhanyan saw Baochai next to Princess Yi, burst into tears, suddenly got up and ran to Baochai, shouting tremblingly: "Sister Bao, please help me!"
