Misty rain, red mansion, Concubine Xiaoxiang

Hundreds of flowers are blooming in the imperial garden, which is the beautiful scenery in spring.Today is the empress's birthday, and all the wives of officials above the fifth rank in Beijing will go to the Fengyi Palace to congratulate the empress and receive a banquet in the Luanfeng Hall!

The warm spring breeze blew past the edge of the hall, Daiyu frowned and looked at the people with different expressions in the hall, a little puzzled.Princess Beijing also raised her eyebrows in surprise, but Princess Yicheng, who was sitting at the top, smiled faintly and looked sideways at the queen.The queen nodded, she got up and looked around the crowd and said: "Today is the queen mother's birthday, I will pay you a drink instead of the queen mother." Seeing Princess Yicheng stand up, everyone also stood up and raised their glasses!

After drinking the fine wine in her hand, Princess Yicheng's cheeks flushed bright red, her quiet and soft eyes were a bit stern, she looked at the crowd, and said indifferently: "These fine wines at the banquet are treasured by my mother for many years, please drink to your heart's content. "Yan Biren has already sat down, who among the people below is not a good hand at observing words and expressions?After hearing Princess Yicheng's words, they all stopped talking just now, and they all thanked each other, then sat down again, chatting and laughing at Yanyan.

Concubine Hui, who was sitting on the left side of the empress, covered her mouth and smiled, looked at the empress with lowered eyebrows and said pleasantly: "The empress is dignified and virtuous, and she is the object of everyone in my harem to emulate. The harem is stable, and the front palace is holy. She has no worries and devotes herself to government affairs. Now that Princess Yicheng is stable and reserved, with a gentle temperament and extremely filial piety to the empress, how can I not make my concubines and others feel envious?" He said with a bow and raised his wine glass, and said with a light smile : "I also ask the queen sister to drink this cup to the full."

The queen smiled gently, raised her wine glass and drank, looked at her and said, "Jun Ping is not as good as Concubine Hui's sister said, but when it comes to talking about it, He Ya is more filial." Concubine Hui shook her head with a busy smile, and said : "Hey Ya is still not comparable to Junping. Speaking of which, there are really few people in this world who can compare with Junping's caring for the Queen's sister."

Concubine De at the side listened and said with a smile: "King Fengyi and Concubine Wang are really filial. I remember that for Concubine Hui's birthday a few days ago, a four-foot-high coral tree was offered as an offering. The concubine still remembers the jewel Brilliant, the branches are crystal clear, even the Holy Majesty highly appreciates it." Everyone smiled in agreement, but Concubine Hui leaned forward and smiled, and said: "Sister De Concubine praised too much, no matter how big or small it is, it is a point of their husband and wife Mind."

Daiyu listened quietly, talking and laughing peacefully, who knows how many waves are surging below?She looked down at the jade cup in her hand, but she was thinking about something in her heart, her slightly frowned eyebrows seemed to be covered with a thin layer of melancholy like mist from distant mountains!

In the middle of the banquet, the queen wanted to go back to the side hall for a rest, Daiyu looked up and saw her staring at her, seeming to nod slightly.Daiyu frowned, thought for a while, turned her head to look at Princess Beijing on one side, and said with a smile: "The smell of alcohol is too heavy here, my wife wants to go outside to get some air." I'll go with you." Daiyu responded with a smile, then turned around and helped the maid's hand out of the main hall of Luanfeng Palace, and then entered the queen's resting place through the side door!

The bead curtain was hanging down to the floor, and the maid who was standing quietly saw Daiyu come in and hurriedly raised the bead curtain, but no one informed her.When I walked into the inner room, I saw the queen and Princess Yicheng were there, and Daiyu kowtowed and saluted, "The concubine greets the empress." The princess is pregnant, sit down and talk." Daiyu smiled and thanked Princess Yicheng lightly, and Princess Yicheng smiled, turned and stood beside the queen!

"Did Princess Beijing go outside the gate of Rongguo Mansion a few days ago?" The queen asked suddenly, but Daiyu was stunned when she heard that, she raised her eyebrows to remove the doubts between her brows, and answered, "Yes, that day It was just coming back from the Qi State Mansion, because I passed by Ningrong Street that day, so I went to have a look."

How could the queen in the deep palace know about this?Suddenly remembering the words that Princess Yicheng suppressed just now, she became more and more suspicious, looked up at the queen and Princess Yicheng, and saw Princess Yicheng sighed, and said: "Although the Rongguo Mansion has committed a crime, it is Madam Shunyuan The princess grew up there, so there is nothing wrong with going to see it, but did the princess see other people that day?"

Daiyu frowned, and said lightly: "It's just a coincidence that I met a good sister in the boudoir, and now Jia Baoyu's wife, Miss Xue."

The empress nodded, with some admiration in her eyes, she said: "Prince Beijing is a smart person, she should know that the so-called rumors start to hurt people invisibly, and she should be more careful in the future." Daiyu stood up and bowed Said: "My concubine, thank you, Empress Empress, and Princess Yicheng."

Ying Jun calmly sighed, and said: "Rumors and rumors have only arisen in the past few days, the princess should be more careful." Daiyu smiled lightly, the alienation and indifference between her brows became more and more intense, and said lightly: "These things There is no wind and waves, and the subtleties make a big fuss." Back at the banquet, I saw a bit of cold anger in the brows of Princess Beijing, Daiyu just pretended not to see it, her faint eyes moved like icicles.

After returning to the Beijing Prince's Mansion, she just got off the sedan chair. The Princess of Beijing called Daiyu, and said indifferently: "Princess, follow me to the Hall of Yangxin." Yangxintang.

Swinging away the maidservants in the house, Princess Beijing came to Daiyu's side and said, "Since the princess has married into Prince Jing's mansion and has Rong'er's flesh and blood on her body, I will not blame the past for the past. But these rumors are due to Where did it come from, the concubine should be very clear in her heart."

Daiyu bent her knees slightly, looked directly into the angry eyes of Princess Beijing, and said quietly: "My lord treats my daughter-in-law with deep affection, and my daughter-in-law is not a person who doesn't know what is good or what is wrong." Princess Beijing sneered, and said: "It's good that the princess understands. ” He waved his hand wearily, and said: “Princess Wang has been tired for half a day, go back and rest.”

Walking to the promenade full of spring, looking at the green leaves and red flowers on the side, Daiyu looked sideways at Zijuan, paused, and said lightly: "Zijuan, when we went to Rongguo Mansion that day, apart from seeing Sister Bao , did you ever see anyone else there?"

Zijuan touched it for a while, lowered her head and thought for a while, and said: "There is no one else except Grandma Bao." Then she raised her head and said, "Maybe someone saw the guards of the palace." Seeing Daiyu's serious expression, Zijuan , I was still puzzled, and asked: "What happened?" The Beijing Princess Wang Taifei has been kind to Daiyu these days, although she didn't have an attack today, her cold and angry expression has already made people tremble.

"Zicuckoo, you go down first." Shui Rong walked over from behind, the court clothes on his body hadn't taken off yet, presumably he came back after Princess Beijing and Daiyu, and he had not had time to go back to Minse Residence in the future.

Daiyu looked down at the jade wrench on his finger, bit her lip and stretched out her small hand to gently cover his slender fingers.Shui Rong held her little hand and moved forward, but Daiyu didn't leave, just stood quietly, Shui Rong turned to look at her, and said, "Is Dai'er going to play a temper?" Daiyu looked up at him, with a pair of With eyes full and dewy, she stared at him for a while, then ran towards Min Seju.

Shui Rong hurriedly chased after a few steps, stopped Daiyu, Daiyu couldn't stop her momentum and fell into his embrace, Shui Rong smiled slightly: "Is the princess going to throw himself into his arms?" Daiyu struggled with embarrassment on her face , whispered: "Let me go." Shui Rong sighed and laughed, "What if you fall while running like this?" He bent down and held Daiyu in his arms, and said with a smile: "I Look, it's safer to carry you, an awkward little girl, back home."

Daiyu's face turned pale with shock, her face became more and more like the sunset glow, she lightly beat his chest, and said: "Put me down, how is this, what's the proper way?" Daiyu panicked and just wanted Shui Rong to put her down, this time If someone sees you along the way, you will really be ashamed.

Ignoring Daiyu's struggle, Shui Rong walked quickly, and soon arrived at Minseju, put Daiyu on the bed, leaned over to support the bed, and said: "I just said something, why is Dai'er angry?" Daiyu said goodbye Going to the beginning, after thinking about it, looking back at Shui Rong, he asked, "Does the lord believe me?"

"Letter." Almost without any hesitation in answering, the anger in Daiyu's heart dissipated, she bit her lips and looked at Shui Rong, the aggrieved eyes made Shui Rong feel distressed, gently wiped away the tears on her face, and lightly reprimanded: "I don't believe you. Do you want to believe those gossip and gossip?" He believed in Daiyu, and naturally he didn't believe that Daiyu went to Rongguo Mansion to meet Jia Baoyu.

There was a bit of guilt in Daiyu's eyes, and she said in a low voice: "I, I never thought so much that day, I didn't expect it." Shui Rong sat beside her, patted her in his arms, and said lightly: "This This incident was premeditated, even if you don't go to Rongguo Mansion that day, someone will fabricate other rumors."

Suddenly remembering that day when Shui Rong came back early, when he asked about the indifference on his face, he was startled and asked, "Did the lord know about it long ago?" Premeditated, there will naturally be precursors."

At the wedding banquet in the Qi State Mansion that day, someone mentioned that Jia Baoyu in the Grand View Garden had an affair with his cousin with a different surname.Later when she came back and heard that Daiyu had gone to Rongguo Mansion, Shui Rong thought that such a day would come.Although it has not been found out who did it, Shui Rong already has a rough understanding in his heart.

Seeing Daiyu's apologetic expression, Shui Rong felt a little distressed. Since Daiyu had gradually forgotten those things, they shouldn't have brought them up, and there was a hint of savagery in her eyes!
