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

On the day of the emperor's fiftieth birthday, another major event happened at the same time.During the period when Daiyu went to Zhenzhen Kingdom, the wedding ceremony ended, and Meng Yuyu was crowned Empress. It has been three or four months since the wedding.

But it is said that at the emperor's birthday banquet, Meng Yuyu, as the head of the harem, must have worked hard. Who knows that the banquet was halfway through, and Empress Meng suddenly fainted in the bedroom. good health.

Now, everyone inside and outside the palace was very happy, even the emperor and the empress dowager liked to see each other. As for the recent days, the Meng Mansion was very lively, with a constant stream of gift giving and celebrations.

Only one person turned a deaf ear to him, but it was the child's biological father, Emperor Yongqing. What's the reason?It turns out that although good things have happened recently, the southwestern frontier is not peaceful, so I am worried.

At the beginning of this dynasty, the old system was followed, and seals were issued to the villages in the southwest, and they were canonized by the imperial court.However, there are many villages in southern Xinjiang, fighting and killing each other for the border. The sky is high and the emperor is far away.

However, this campaign has to be discussed in a long-term way, because the Miao Village is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the local folk customs are tough, and according to reports from spies, the country of Tatar, which borders the north, is also inextricably involved, and Emperor Yongqing has The determination to eliminate.

For the Southwest riots, the court was divided into two ends, one group advocated softness and appeasement, and the other group advocated encirclement and suppression by troops. Emperor Yongqing and the emperor did not express their stance for the time being, and just watched the subordinates fight openly and secretly.

It is said that at this time, the weather was warm and the sun was shining brightly, and the peach blossoms in the imperial garden were in full bloom. Because of Meng Yuyu's post, she invited Daiyu to come to the palace to enjoy the flowers.

Daiyu was a little surprised, but went to the banquet on time.I thought she had invited a group of female guests to have fun, but when I entered the palace, I saw that the octagonal pavilion in the imperial garden was only furnished with a table and two chairs, and there were eight colors of fruit tea sets and other things.

Seeing her, Meng Yuyu nodded and called for someone to come over. Daiyu approached and hadn't bowed halfway before she was supported by the maids on both sides, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen my sister for half a year. I heard your majesty say that my sister is going I have really learned a lot, and my sister is very envious."

For this sudden enthusiasm, Daiyu hadn't figured out the intention, so she laughed and said: "The empress is joking. The prince loves to go around, and the concubine also goes to serve with her. How can it compare to the empress's vision?"

Meng Yuyu smiled and didn't say anything, but she gave a sudden wink, and the maid picked up a piece of delicate peach blossom cake and put it on the plate in front of Daiyu, and said, "This cake is made of peach blossom petals twisted into juice. , very fragrant and delicious, my sister might as well try a piece."

Just as Daiyu took a bite, she heard Meng Yuyu continue to say: "If you want to say that the best place for flowers is in the southwest, it is like spring all the year round, and the flowers bloom undefeated. The pastries are delicious."

Before saying a word, Dai Yu's heart became clear, it turned out that Xiang Zhuang's sword dance was aimed at Pei Gong, and it was about trying to make the emperor sound like a prince for the Southwest matter.After thinking for a moment, and not wanting to go around in circles with her in an official manner, she asked with a serious expression on her pretty face, "Since the empress has orders, I hope to declare them so that the prince and my concubine can follow the orders."

Meng Yuyu was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed again. Instead, she swept away her previous restraint, and said in a hearty tone: "Good girl, it's my sister's heart. In fact, there is nothing to undertake, just a word from the prince. Should the chaos in the Southwest be settled or not. The girl is the prince's heart, so she must have heard something."

Daiyu's eyebrows moved a little, and she said cautiously: "Your Majesty is right. The prince has indeed said in front of the concubine that the chaos in the Southwest will affect the Central Plains sooner or later. However, half of the civil and military officials don't think so. It is the prince who thinks it should be flat, and I am afraid it is also a person who speaks lightly."

It's not that Shui Lan hasn't mentioned the Southwest matter to her. Unlike ordinary couples who lead the outside world and the woman lead the inside, Shui Lan still likes to tell her about the things in the temple, and occasionally discuss a few words, listening to her as the daughter of the boudoir. idea.

The current situation in the court is actually very chaotic. The emperor has not expressed his position for a long time, and many veteran officials are not letting go. Huang Ting, the Minister of the Ministry of household affairs, even talked about the empty treasury and the fear of food and grass shortage. This is not to make it clear that Emperor Yongqing Have a rest?

At such a turbulent time, the emperor's boy made up his mind to let Shui Lan throw bricks to attract jade. No one is a fool, how can he be this brick?If it doesn't work out, it will be smashed to pieces.

Meng Yuyu naturally heard the hidden meaning in her words, and couldn't help laughing: "My sister is too worried. Speaking of which, this matter should not be considered utilitarian, it is for the suffering of thousands of people in southern Xinjiang."

Seeing her, Daiyu couldn't help being vague, and even used the official words for the well-being of the people to prevaricate, and she refused to let it go more and more, with a hint of irony hidden in her eyebrows: "I didn't dare to ignore the imperial edict, but Even if the southwest should be flattened, how and who will flatten it are not the prince's decision, let alone what we women and Taoists can say here, what do you think?"

I heard Emperor Yongqing mention about Shui Lan's temperament before, and I know he is very shrewd, even if he is on the same boat now, he would not take an extra step, or talk easily.Therefore, Meng Yuyu thought of a way to start with Daiyu.

Unexpectedly, this seemingly young Princess Lian is not easy to get along with, a clever mouth is sharper than a knife, and she knows in her heart that she is not someone who can be fooled around wantonly.

Meng Yuyu didn't continue to speak, she pressed her forehead as if unintentionally, and sighed softly: "I don't understand what my sister said anymore. My sister can only tell you these words. Although your majesty is the king of a country, you can't support it alone. Except for the prince, he has no one to rely on. The matter of the Southwest is imperative, and now there are quarrels in the court, no one is willing to lead the army, if the prince is willing to try, His Majesty will never treat the prince badly. Above ten thousand people, how come there are people who speak lightly?"

Suddenly, there was a moment of silence in the imperial garden, but the fragrance of flowers and the singing of birds and the gentle breeze were heard.

Daiyu neither agreed nor refused, she lowered her head for a long time, and then said concisely: "This matter has to be discussed in the long run, and the concubine will bring her own wishes."

Hearing that her tone softened a lot, Meng Yuyu couldn't help stretching her eyebrows, and smiled softly: "My sister is most relieved of her words." Then, she ordered someone to prepare a palace banquet, and left her a little girl. Get together and laugh.

But Daiyu followed the trend, her attitude was still neither humble nor overbearing, her eyes were clear: "The empress loves to give food, but I dare not resign. It's just that I have been in the palace for a long time, and I am afraid that the prince will worry about it, so I will disturb you next time." Meng Yuyu couldn't stay. He had no choice but to let his personal nurse and a few maids be sent to the sedan chair, and he would come back only after everything was in order.

After returning to the palace for a while, Qiu Wan rushed out to greet her, saying that a meal had been set in Hanbitang.Just past the video screen of the moon cave door in the corridor, I saw Shui Lan laughing before saying anything, leaning against the door and waiting for her.

Daiyu's nose was sore, she stepped forward two times, and put her arms around his waist, she looked up and asked, "Your Majesty wants you to go to the Southwest to fight?"

Shui Lan's shock was no small matter, she had always been the only one who was teased in every possible way, this was the first time for the little girl to throw herself into her arms, she stroked her temples with her hand, and said softly, "Who told Yu'er?"

Seeing that he hadn't answered, Daiyu wiped away her tears with the silk: "Just tell me if there is such a thing or not, and that's it."

Shui Lan wiped away her tearful eyes for a long time, and said after a breath of relief: "Don't cry, people who have children have such a heavy heart, and their bodies are not strong. I was afraid that you would be worried, but His Majesty just mentioned something , I haven't responded yet."

When Daiyu heard about it, she quickly stopped her tears and said, sobbing, "Isn't it okay for us to ignore those things? I don't advise you to go to the Hall of Fame and Fortune. I just hope that you will be safe and sound, and we will be together as a family." , can't you?"

After listening to Daiyu's words, Shui Lan was moved and raised thousands of words, but when she wanted to speak, she cared about her body.After a long time, Fang Chang sighed: "Yu'er, I won't hide the matter from you until now. With my background and the Dugu family behind me, there is no reason to be let go. I was destined to take this path from birth. .Even without the emperor and the present, no matter who is the co-lord of the world, it may not be able to accommodate me, the son of the former emperor. Is it the king's land under the whole world, and the king's minister on the shore of the land? It doesn't help."

Daiyu has never understood this truth, but she is just in the middle of the situation and worried about his safety.Especially now that she is pregnant, she is much more sensitive, and it arouses her thoughts and worries: "I... I am really scared..."

Seeing that Daiyu's face was full of tears, pink and smooth, Shui Lan suddenly felt extremely pity, so she lowered her voice for fear of alarming her: "Don't say such things, we will be safe. Going to the palace today, aren't you? What did the queen tell you?"

Daiyu nodded and told her conversation with Meng Yuyu verbatim.Shui Lan listened for a while, but did not say anything, and sighed again: "This matter has been measured, and I will go to the palace and tell your majesty. After I leave Beijing, no matter what orders come from the palace, don't go, Bai Hu and Qiuwan will protect you."

Seeing that, Daiyu knew that he must go without a doubt, so she suppressed her soreness, took his hand and said, "I promise you, take good care of our children. You have to swear that nothing will happen to you." Come back. Nothing else, I don't care."

Shui Lan was waiting for some more compensation, when someone reported outside: "There is a man named Jiang Yuhan, who took a famous post from Prince Zhongshun's mansion and knelt at the door to beg to see the prince."

Daiyu was stunned when she heard this, and hurriedly asked, "What is he doing here?"

Shui Lan thought for a while, probably because of the treatment of Baoyu two days ago, and said with a smile: "It's nothing, I'll take a look. □□Xiao they will wait for you to eat first, don't wait for me."

Although Daiyu was surprised that Shui Lan would meet this actor from Zhongshun Palace, but it was not easy to ask more questions at the moment, besides, Shui Lan was a person with ideas, so she let him go.

Who would have thought that those who were waiting left and right did not come, and there was no sign of them until it was time to hold the lamps. Daiyu sent Qiu Wan to ask, and replied at once: "My lord, please take a break first, and my lord will follow Mr. Jiang to the Zhongshun Palace." Let's go."

Daiyu was shocked when she heard this, and couldn't help but rush to Qiuwan to ask: "It's all right, how did the prince go to Zhongshun Palace, what happened?"

Qiu Wan hesitated for a moment but said nothing. Chun Xiao next to her was an outspoken person who never hesitated to speak, and hurriedly said, "It's not because of the jade-bearing son of the Jia family. Jiang Yuhan burst into tears as soon as she came to the door. Kneeling on the ground and kowtowing desperately, begging our lord to save Mr. Jia. It seems that he has been detained in Zhongshun Mansion, and he stole the name card and ran out to call for help."

Daiyu just felt that the words were confusing, and she couldn't help but wondered: "Isn't this official Qi very good with the King of Beijing, why didn't he go to ask him, but asked to come to our house? Besides, Rong's mansion doesn't know this yet. Is something wrong?"

But Chun Xiao laughed: "Can the princess not know? If you tell the master of the Rong Mansion, he will be the first to be beaten to death. The boys who heard the rumor said that he sounds like he has been to the Beijing Mansion. , about to be rejected, and then in desperation, he gritted his teeth and begged to come, thinking that he was finally an in-law, so he might not be willing to die."

After a pause, Chunxiao seemed to think of something, and spat again: "It's just that our prince is kind-hearted. If it were someone else, who would be willing to meddle in this kind of business!" After hearing this, Daiyu also thought it was true, and kept nodding her head .

Qiu Wan didn't speak all the time, glanced at the two of them, lowered her head and slandered: "That's really not the kindness of the prince, isn't it our prince who got the son of the Jia family in?"

At that time, Daiyu took off her clothes and read a book on the bed, and read Tang Poetry and Song Rhythm again to the child in her belly. After a while, she fell asleep on the mat, and Zijuan sat beside her and watched.Hearing a sound in a trance, Daiyu opened her eyes and saw Shui Lan walking tiptoe, she pursed her lips and smiled: "The prince is a thief?"

Zicuckoo retreated knowingly and closed the door.Shui Lan sat gently on the bed, watched her for a while, and said with a smile: "I heard from the old lady that most women always have discomfort and edema during pregnancy. I see that you look good every day except for a while, It’s a great thing to eat them all.”

Daiyu unconsciously caressed her lower abdomen, and said with a gentle smile: "That's because this child is good, not torturing. By the way, how did you go to the Zhongshun Palace to cook?"

Shui Lan also covered her stomach with his hand, and replied: "As far as I am concerned, Mr. Jia is certainly a bit stubborn, but the method of loyalty and obedience is too hot. It is not a lesson but killing people. When I go, people will Hanging in the cold well, if it is too late, you will be scared to death if you don’t drown.”

After hearing this, Daiyu sighed: "Send it back now? I can't tell that this Jiang Yuhan is sincere to him. But according to his uncle's character, if he hears about it, he will still be beaten."

"What are you going to do if you have half your life left?" Shui Lan took off her shoes and socks, lay next to her shoulders, and said, "It's okay if you don't hurt your muscles and bones, but you're scared to death I am afraid that I will not dare to do anything wrong in the future. As for this Qiguan, there may be two meanings, but compared to loyal and first-class people, Mr. Jia treats him ten thousand times better." Shui Lan did not say the rest, Daiyu They didn't ask any more questions, the two of them rested for a while, let alone.

Within a month, suddenly one day, the little eunuch came into Jia's mansion and delivered an order, saying: "The concubine Jia has passed away, please prepare for it, and come in and cry the next day."

When Mrs. Wang heard about it, she cried until she died; Jia Zheng didn't dare to frighten the old man, but only said that Concubine Yuan was sick and had phlegm, and the medicine didn't work.Mother Jia couldn't help weeping, and she continued to exhort: "It's good to ask someone to take care of it. No matter how much money it costs, half of our family's glory is on the empress. If the emperor's favor is favored for a day, our family will not be in trouble."

Knowing the truth, Jia Zheng and others felt even more sad, so they couldn't explain it clearly.Furthermore, Ningrong and Rongfu's Second House has shown signs of decline. Among the in-laws, only Wang Ziteng is still in the limelight. Although the niece is married to be a prince, she has no real power in her hands.

Going back to the room with Mrs. Wang to discuss, Jia Zhengyin said it again. Mrs. Wang wept and sighed: "What the master said is very true. The matter of the empress is a foregone conclusion. Now I only hope that my brother will be better. In the future, Bao Yuer Everyone has something to rely on."

Thinking of Yuan Chun, Jia Zheng also felt sad, pondered for a while and said: "Now is not the time to be sad. You should send someone to go around your niece's house. Anyway, Prince Lian is still a minister of state affairs. You can talk better than white people."

Seeing this, Mrs. Wang restrained her face, lowered her head and said: "Don't be unhappy if you say this. I watched coldly, but my niece's family is not as good as ours. Prince Lian is not valued by the emperor, and he is too young today, so he is caught in the middle." What can pop out?"

Jia Zheng wanted to reprimand him twice, but after thinking about it carefully, he kept his mouth shut.

The author has something to say: People in Jia's mansion are also short-sighted. There are many things in this world where feng shui turns around!
