[Red Mansion] Sister Lin's sweet pet after marriage

On August [-]th, Shuilan and Daiyu got up early and entered the palace. Emperor Yongguang led all the emperor's relatives and nephews into the Taimiao to perform the new moon ceremony, and the female relatives went to Shouning Palace to pay homage to the Queen Mother.

The scene when she first entered the palace is still vivid, and Daiyu has lingering fears.Fortunately, Shui Lan was more worried than she was, and the extraordinarily pungent Chun Xiao even brought a girl who knew martial arts to accompany her, and repeatedly asked her to report immediately if something happened.

Who would have thought that this time when I arrived at the gate of the palace, the angry-eyed female official beside the Queen Mother was waiting, and when she saw her approaching with a scorpion pincer, she smiled like a flower blooming on her face: "Princess, come here!" Now, please come in with your servants, the empress dowager is here."

Daiyu was a little puzzled, but followed her in, but she heard Chunxiao whispering in her ear: "It is our prince who recommended the empress dowager's mother's Meng family, and the empress dowager is not a fool, probably your majesty also said something, Naturally, I dare not neglect."

Daiyufang understood, and asked again: "Since the prince understands, why did you let you come?"

Chunxiao could hardly hide the smile in his eyes, and he held his mouth and replied quietly: "What does the princess think? The last time I met that bastard woman in Jia's mansion, the prince blamed himself for a long time, so he refused to take risks. Let me Come along. In case there are those who don't know how to praise, it's better to talk about it." While shaking his fist, he giggled.

For some reason, her heart immediately sweetened, and Daiyu pursed her lips into a smile, and said nothing more.

As soon as I entered the inner hall, there were already many wives here.Daiyu glanced up and saw that the Queen Mother looked very good, with a ray of warm color on her face. She only wanted to see her, but she heard a smile from above: "I have no eyesight, why don't you hurry up and help Princess Lian up?" .”

The maid who was standing there hurriedly helped her up, but she heard a soft voice from the side: "The concubine said she looked familiar, so Prince Lian married a girl from our family."

Only then did Daiyu discover that there was a familiar person sitting in the hall, and she saw that beautiful woman with a face like the autumn moon, eyes like water apricots, and a body full of emeralds and emeralds, noble and bright, she was three points similar to Baoyu, and she knew that she was related at a glance .

In fact, she has never had anything to do with this cousin, but she met her relatives once or twice during the visit, and later rewarded them with gifts. Seeing that Jin Yu and Jin Yu are indistinguishable, she has realized something in her heart.

However, the marriage with Shui Lan was facilitated by Mrs. Wang, and Concubine Yuan and Jia's family have never broken off contact, so there is a suspicion of self-incrimination.

The Empress Dowager continued as if bewildered: "If you don't mention Yuanchun, I almost forgot that you are also a family of relatives." The conversation changed, and the eyes swept over the two of them lightly, "You are worthy of being the first emperor. The old ministers are all from the family of poetry and ceremony, and the daughters born are more beautiful than the other. The previous one heard in a trance that Nan'an Concubine did not fall in love with the third girl of your family."

When Daiyu heard Tanchun's name, her expression changed unconsciously.The girls who used to be foolish and laughing together in the garden ended up going to their families one by one, and I don't know what will happen in the future?

Because he read the word "result", but thought of the theory of small sweet taro mentioned by Shui Lan, he couldn't help thinking out a bunch of fragrant and round sweet taro balls, and his complexion suddenly turned red.

Jia Yuanchun's eyes lowered uncomfortably, and he rolled his arms and smiled shyly: "I don't know about this, but my mother's letters are always very accurate. It seems that there will be a wedding in Nan'an Prince's Mansion, so it's still the third girl." good fortune."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Daiyu who was sitting opposite him inadvertently, and his tone was full of pity: "Speaking of which, the concubine's appearance is beautiful, so she naturally attracts people's compassion, but the fact that she is weak is really troublesome, and King Lian still has to worry about it. yes."

Who is not a human being present here, how can he not hear the subtle jealousy in the words, the queen mother beat him lightly: "If you talk about the status of the princes below, no one can surpass the king of Lian, and now you have to say a word. Uncle Emperor. Furthermore, I see Princess Lian's complexion is rosy, and what the princess said is not only inappropriate, but also exaggerated."

Jia Yuanchun brushed the gold thread beads from his beautiful hair, and interrogated with a needle hidden in the cotton: "Your Majesty taught me the lesson. I just heard that my younger sister's innate insufficiency will make even the heirs have difficulties in the future. Just like your Majesty It is said that Prince Lian's lineage is the younger brother of the emperor, so pure and noble, how can he tolerate the trouble of not having an heir, so this is the first-class problem."

The queen mother was still waiting to speak, but she saw Dai Yu raised her eyebrows, holding a palace fan to cover up a sneer at the corner of her mouth, and said with blood: "Sister Taifei's words are true. I am destined to be favored by the prince It is already a blessing, but luckily the minister's wife is still young, even if she takes care of it from now on, she still hopes to have a son and a half by her side."

Pausing for a moment, Jiao Rong added a hint of sarcasm, and sighed leisurely: "I can't compare to my sister, after all, people who have never given birth look young, and it can't be seen that they are more than one round older than my wife."

After the words were finished, the hall was as silent as death, all the servants lowered their heads, pretending to be deaf and dumb wisely.

Looking at Jia Yuanchun's face red and white, he was so excited that he gritted his teeth and was speechless for a long time. Even the Queen Mother couldn't help clapping her hands in praise, she deserves to be the eloquent Princess Lian!

It turns out that childless has always been a knife hanging over his head, and Jia Yuanchun himself suffered from this, so he squatted on the concubine's position for so many years, and Wu Guifei, who entered the palace later, should kneel and salute that's it.However, with the passage of time, people gradually forgot about it, and it was more like holding Daiyu's handle to talk, so you might as well get yourself in, I really regret not falling.

Jia Yuanchun didn't know that Daiyu used to be sharp-tongued and had an unforgiving temper. In the Grand View Garden, even Sister Feng gave her eloquence without her eloquence. Since he refused to lose the last quarter, he lost the face of Prince Lian's residence.

Seeing that the atmosphere had cooled down for a while, the queen mother cut it off in a timely manner, and said to Daiyu with a pleasant face: "It's rare for the Lian Wang family to enter the palace once, and they talked for a while, and they haven't had a cup of tea yet."

While talking, let people serve tea.The Empress Dowager's personal maid first placed some exquisite tea and food, and then brought a small foreign lacquer tea tray with three small bucket-colored bells in the tray, and presented them to the three masters one by one.

The Empress Dowager did not take the tea, and asked herself: "What kind of tea is served? The dew has been heavy recently, don't serve those flowers and grasses, it smells strange."

The maid heard this, giggled lightly, and replied: "How can you be so blind? The silver needles from Junshan Mountain that Yue Yang paid tribute to, are the most effective for eliminating dampness and stomach."

Daiyu ate it carefully, and she felt that the soup was yellow and clear, and it was extremely sweet.Just about to appreciate it, the Empress Dowager put down the teacup after taking a sip, and said in displeasure, "In the past, all the tea was imported from Ceylon at this time of year, why did you serve this this year?"

The servant girl who retreated to the side hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty, and seemed to have something to say back: "I don't know why this year, the tea from Ceylon has not come until the autumnal equinox, and the tea stored in previous years can't be picked up, so I have to take Junshan tea." Use silver needles to soak."

When Jia Yuanchun saw this, he was also slightly suspicious: "Not only that, the frankincense and agarwood from the Three Buddhas Qi Kingdom were also late for more than half a year, and the things are not as good as before. I don't know why?"

Hearing this, Daiyu raised her eyebrows, she always felt that there was something involved, so she kept it in her heart.

After the dinner, Shui Lan and Dai Yu go back home together.After a whole day of red tape, her body was already exhausted, Shui Lan pressed her forehead, watched Daiyu remove the hairpin in front of the dressing table, and asked with a smile: "What's new and interesting today?"

Daiyu sipped a pair of deep sweets to the mirror, and said in a delicate voice: "It's not fun. I chatted with the queen mother and my concubine cousin for a while, and I was curious about one thing." Lan looked at each other and told him what Bai Ri had said.

Shui Lan listened carefully, stood up and stood behind Daiyu, and naturally took the toothbrush in her hand: "It was for this. In the past, the King of Jinling was in charge of the tribute and congratulations of all countries. All the goods of foreign ships from Yunnan and Zhejiang passed through his family. I remember that Ceylon, Srivijaya, Boni and Siam belonged to the upper part of the West Sea. Really country."

This answer was really beyond Daiyu's expectation, because she frowned: "I once heard the little sister of the Xue family talk about the Zhenzhen Kingdom in my boudoir, saying that the woman's face is the same as that in a Western painting, and she is dressed in yellow. Hair, a Japanese sword hanging on his body, and said he knows our Four Books and Five Classics."

Shui Lan was amused by the smell, and shook her head and said, "It's not that magical. When I was young, I went there with an official ship. Most of them couldn't even speak Chinese well, and they expected to recite poems to make it right. However, they did I am very yearning for the culture of the ancient capital of China, especially Chinese poetry and books."

"My lord's words make people's heart itch, and I want to take a look if I have the chance." Daiyu couldn't help but tilt her head, her round eyes blinked lightly: "It's strange that I will pay attention to what they say today, it's so good, One or two vassal states are late to pay tribute, how can there be such a coincidence in the world?"

The action of combing the black hair couldn't help but paused, Shui Lan pondered for a moment, and Fang let out a breath: "So that's the case, Madam's words reminded me. A letter came from my uncle's house two days ago, mentioning that there was a change in Xihaiyanzi .Now it seems that the West Sea is not peaceful, and there will inevitably be a war within two years."

Daiyu was startled, and blurted out: "Your lord is saying that there will be a war within two years?"

Shui Lan nodded, and explained indifferently: "For a long time, we must divide, and if we divide for a long time, we must unite. Although the past dynasties adopted a gentle attitude towards the vassal states, and favored each other, but the loose policy of death also brought disadvantages, and it was inevitable that there would be a series of problems. It is common sense for two ambitious people not to be willing to submit to others and pay tribute."

The battle between the two armies was too strange and terrifying for Daiyu, so she asked anxiously: "My lord thinks there will be a real fight, how will the two win or lose?"

Shui Lan combed the last strand of blue hair without any hassle, put down the toothbrush, and said in a worried tone: "It is true that I have a strong army, but almost no one is familiar with naval battles, especially in recent years. Xihai has let it go. If war really starts , those few vassal states joined forces to retreat to the island and not leave, it is inevitable that they will lose the opportunity and waste their wages."

Daiyu heard his words with deep thoughts, and her heart was even more uneasy: "Does Your Majesty know about this matter, and is there a perfect plan?"

"Tonight, I will repair the book and winter clothes." The warm palm was pressed on her shoulder, and the person in the mirror smiled coldly, and asked inappropriately: "Ma'am, why don't we go to Zhenzhen Country for a walk?"

The author has something to say: The copy of Zhenzhen Kingdom is about to open, and our princess is already on the way to apply for a visa. Isn't this development unexpected? (*^__^*) Hee hee...
