Misty rain, red mansion, Concubine Xiaoxiang

Squeaky door opened Zhirui Courtyard which had been dusty for 14 years.Princess Beijing walked into the dark house with a lantern alone, lit the white candles in the house with a torch, and looked around the furnishings in the house with a hint of melancholy on her brows.

Walking into the study, untiing the scrolls covered on the left and right, the smiling woman standing under the gardenia is very much like Daiyu.Princess Beijing reached out and took the embroidered handkerchief to wipe off the dust on it, looked it over carefully, and said with a faint smile: "After all, you still haven't fought me, at least I have his two children, and what he left behind. The Beijing Palace that came down. What about you? There is nothing, only a wall in this Beijing Palace."

Naturally, the portrait on the wall would not answer her words. Princess Beijing Jing dusted off the dust on the chair and sat down quietly, "You have made my heart ache and resented me for 18 years. I didn't wake up until after he passed away. A man who can’t get his heart is not worth it. But it’s not too late for me to wake up, my son has completely inherited his wisdom and calm.” But at the same time, he also inherited his infatuation, and smiled softly: "It's really a turn of events. Now your daughter is my daughter-in-law. Although Rong'er has a deep love for her, but based on everything you gave me, as a mother-in-law, I don't make things difficult for her. How can I be worthy of you and me in the past? tit for tat?"

"Maybe you will say, you make my daughter feel uncomfortable, how can your son be happy?" Beijing Wang Taifei smiled slightly, as if Jia Min was sitting in front of her, her eyes jumped like a girl's naughty, smiling quietly Said: "If they don't even have the most basic trust in each other, then it's better not to go on together in the future life."

"However, your daughter did not disappoint me. She is very similar to you, and she is full of intelligence and intelligence. As far as this is concerned, I am very satisfied!" The smile on Princess Beijing's face did not change, but there was a trace of coldness and cruelty. , "Since the Ye family uses this in-law to use me, then the Ye family must also be destroyed by me."

The full moon is bright, the exquisite and beautiful palace lanterns are hung high, and the laughing words in the hall are exquisitely ringed.

Daiyu leads Haoze and Qingwan and walks beside Princess Beijing, and the woman with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes trails behind Daiyu nervously tugging at her clothes, while the child snuggled beside her is looking around curiously, picking up from time to time. nose.

The bustling hall suddenly became quiet, and all of them looked at them.Daiyu took the child's little hand without raising her eyebrows, walked to their seat and sat down with a slight smile. The woman stood nervously behind Daiyu, as if she didn't know how to put her hands and feet.

Princess Beijing didn't seem to notice their embarrassment, and ignored them, she just smiled and exchanged greetings with Princess Dongping.The story of yesterday had already been widely circulated. Princess Dongping tugged Daiyu's sleeve lightly, and asked softly: "What's going on? It seems like wings have grown from yesterday's incident. I'm afraid the whole capital will not be able to see it now." Not many know."

"Perhaps someone hoped that the news would grow wings." Seeing Daiyu's indifference and indifference, Princess Dongping frowned, because she saw that the child next to the woman really looked like a water-soluble child, and she felt more and more nervous. She didn't understand what Daiyu was thinking, so she said again: "I think this matter is weird, but you must be more careful."

Daiyu nodded her head in thanks, and turned to look at Haoze and Dongping Wang Xiaoshi having fun.Ying Junping looked at Daiyu with anxious eyes, Daiyu smiled slightly and made her look reassuring, Ying Junping frowned and sighed.

"The emperor is here." Regardless of what everyone was thinking, they all suppressed their scrutiny, stood up and greeted Shuishu Shengjia!

The bright luminous pearls are dotted in the light gauze, and the jewels are reflected in the palace.Sensing everyone's gaze, Daiyu raised her brows slightly, but smiled lightly and picked Haoze and Qingwan's favorite food and let them eat slowly, not caring at all.Shangguan Yunlan gently caressed her belly and looked at Daiyu mischievously with her delicate eyes. Daiyu raised her head and glanced at her. Her clear and vivid eyes were full of sparkles, so pretty and charming!

Some people can't see Daiyu's self-satisfaction, stood up and asked curiously with a smile: "May I ask who is standing behind Princess Beijing?" Yunque's clear and clear question caught everyone's attention. When they came over, there was an instant silence at the banquet.

Daiyu raised her head, raised her eyebrows lightly and said with a smile: "Who is Princess Yun looking at?" The skylark walked to Daiyu's table, glanced at the similar faces of Hao Ze and Yu Cheng, giggled a few times, and said : "It looks so similar to the Prince of Beijing, could it be that he is his illegitimate child outside? So, Princess Beijing's desire to monopolize the Prince of Beijing has failed?"

She raised her wine glass to toast the skylark with a smile, Daiyu said with a smile: "I didn't expect Princess Yun to live in the capital for a few days, and the news spread quite quickly. If you didn't know, you would think that Princess Yun was responsible for this matter." Direct."

"Princess Beijing looks pretty open, but it's true. Compared with the son of Chen Yi, this child might be the eldest son?" Shui Shu sat on the top seat, looking at Daiyu who was smiling lightly with his exquisite eyes, and supported him with his hands. Cheek looked and listened silently.

"Yunque, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival feast. You and I are foreign visitors. How can you be so presumptuous in front of the Holy One?" Yunlong stopped Yunque from speaking again, and his deep eyes fell on Daiyu, with traces of doubt and surprise. Grabbing my heart, but not revealing anything on my face!

Mrs. Ye Xu's eyes paused slightly and fell on Princess Beijing, only to see that Princess Beijing raised her eyebrows and eyes and did not move at all. She unconsciously clenched the embroidered handkerchief tightly, and there was a trace of anxiety between her brows.

"Princess Yun said so, she really looks very similar to Prince Chen Yi." Concubine Hui sat beside Shui Shu, beckoned Liu Yue'e with a slight smile, and asked softly: "How old is this child this year? "

That Liu Yue'e trembled and knelt down on the ground, with her fingers clasped tightly on the front of her shirt, tremblingly said: "Here, this child is four years old and four months old!" Concubine Hui smiled slightly: "It is worse than Chen Yi. It’s been a few months.” Jiang Yuya said slightly surprised: “I heard that she is from Henan, didn’t the Prince of Bei come to Henan for disaster relief at that time four years ago?” After saying this, he seemed to think of something He hurriedly covered his mouth and said: "This is a mess of my concubines. At that time, the Prince of the North was devastated to relieve the disaster. How could he be so leisurely and elegant? Putting the emperor's life in disregard?"

The whole hall was in an uproar when these words came out. Back then, Shui Rong was granted the title of prince because of the disaster relief in Henan. What an honor and honor it was at that time.Suddenly bringing this matter up at this time today, there is a suspicion of dereliction of duty and pretending to be a deceitful king, so they all turn their attention to Shui Shu who is sitting still, and dare not extend the topic further.

Mrs. Ye Mrs. Xu looked at Shangjiang Yuya's eyes with a measured smile and turned her head away. Yunque sneered and said: "If the Northern Prince was really self-denying and serving the public back then, where would such a romantic thing happen today? If it weren't for Liu Shi We have come to nowhere, haven't we been deceived by the appearance of Prince Bei? It is true that people cannot be judged by their appearance, and the sea cannot be measured."

"Everyone said it was very lively, but how did you know that this child is the prince's child? How did you know that this woman is from Henan? And how did you know that her surname is Liu and not Liu?" Daiyu said. Wei Tiaomeifeng stood up, looked at the few people who were singing together with his quiet eyes like water, and suddenly smiled lightly, like a delicate flower blooming with beauty and fragrance, "What Princess Fengyi and Princess Yun said is as true as what I saw with my own eyes, Listening to it makes people admire your skill in making up stories."

"It looks so similar, Princess Bei Jing wants to justify herself, but I'm afraid it can't be justified, everyone's eyes are bright." Yunque can't understand Daiyu's calm and breezy, with a bit of resentment on her face .She refused to be in the middle of the water, and now that she has the opportunity, she will naturally not let it go easily.The fingernails dyed with Danko slowly slipped over the blue and white porcelain cup, like bloodshot slowly falling on the snow!

Princess Beijing didn't seem to hear what these people said at all, she just pulled the reluctant Qing Wan to sit on her lap, and fed her shrimp.His cold eyes glanced at Mrs. Ye Xu's face, and in an instant she looked down at the little granddaughter with a sullen face on her lap with a gentle smile on her head!

Daiyu smiled lightly and closed her slender hands between her sleeves, saying: "Whether you are bright or you have been deceived, I think only you know." As she spoke, she walked to the middle of the road and bowed down to bow, the stretch of red carpet seemed to be The fiery red dragon paved in the middle of the road, and said indifferently: "The concubine is reckless, there is something that I have to ask the Holy Majesty to rule."

Shui Shu sat up straight and looked at Daiyu with great interest. The rest of the people were either puzzled or uneasy or looked at Daiyu with some inquisitiveness. Said: "Quite!"

Shangguan Yunlan supported Mu Yanjun's hand and walked off the seat, knelt down beside Daiyu, and said with a light smile: "Since the Holy Majesty is ready to play, then my concubine will perform the stunt of changing faces for you." At the banquet, Concubine Hui's complexion has changed drastically, and she turned to Jiang Yuya and Mrs. Ye Xu with a cold and stern gaze. The blood faded from the faces of the two people in an instant, and they stared straight at Daiyu and Shangguan who were kneeling in the center. cloud blue.

Shui Shu's eyes turned to Concubine Hui with a trace of boredom and coldness, Concubine Hui hurriedly lowered her eyebrows and sat quietly with lowered eyebrows. Shui Shu snorted and said lightly: "In this case, Princess Zhongshun and Princess Beijing Just start, I will make my own decision." Shangguan Yunlan looked at Yu Cheng who was snuggling beside Liu Yuee who was sweating profusely with a smile, and beckoned for the little eunuch to bring him over.

Liu Yue'e held the child tightly in her arms, opened her eyes wide and looked at Shangguan Yunlan who was squinting and smiling, and Daiyu calmly straightened the embroidered orchid grass on her sleeve, and said quietly: "Is it the will of the Holy Majesty, Miss Liu?" Dare to resist?" Liu Yue'e looked at Mrs. Ye Xu who was hanging her head in fear, and a little eunuch had already stepped forward to hug the crying Yu Cheng in front of Shangguan Yunlan.

Shangguan Yunlan bowed and smiled slightly: "Forgive me, my lord, Yunlan has made a fool of myself!" Then he took out a painted glass bottle from his sleeve, and ordered the little eunuch to fetch a basin of clean water, and apply the cool ointment on his fingers Going up, slowly rubbing the center of Yu Cheng's brows, while coaxing him softly, he said, "Be good, will I give you candy later?" After all, Yu Cheng was only a four-year-old child, so he nodded hurriedly.

Seeing Shangguan Yunlan's actions, Liu Yue'e was so frightened that she fell to the ground immediately, she begged for help and looked at Mrs. Ye Xu, and Princess Beijing slowly raised her eyes, and was looking at Xu's panicked eyes, smiling coldly Like icicles slashing across Xu's face, Xu couldn't help lowering his head tremblingly and tightly clutching the embroidered handkerchief in his hand!

The dead silence in the hall was like a lake without ripples, Daiyu handed the soaked towel into Shangguan Yunlan's hands, and Shangguan Yunlan wiped the transparent plaster on Yu Cheng's face until it was wiped clean before giving Liu Yuee a sneering look, Turning around to look at Shui Shu, he said casually: "Look, Your Majesty, does this still look like the Prince of Beijing?"

Seeing the child's face, everyone's expressions changed drastically, and the whole hall stared at the child in an uproar.Not to mention the similarity to Shui Rong, even Liu Yue'e, who was sitting paralyzed on the ground, was not at all similar. Shui frowned in confusion and said, "What's going on?"

"The courtiers and concubines have no way of knowing the twists and turns in the middle. It's just that the person who used the medicine has ulterior motives and tried to frame the prince of Beijing and the unfaithful and unrighteous place with such trivial calculations. It's also a coincidence that the child's face is changeable. The correction is something that the teacher missed when he was wandering around, and the concubine just happened to have cracked plaster in his hand. If it wasn't for this, the Beijing Palace will really be framed to such an unbearable place, please ask the sage to investigate clearly!"

"How old are you this year?" Shui Shu looked indifferently at the extremely ordinary Yu Cheng who didn't know how to grow up. Yu Cheng secretly raised his eyes to look at Liu Yue'e, and Liu Yue'e bit her lips tightly and didn't look at Yu Cheng. Xiao Wu had no idea, stretched out five fingers, and said, "Yu Cheng is five years old this year!" After he finished speaking, Liu Yue'e sat on the ground paralyzed and couldn't speak anymore, she was so frightened that she couldn't even cry !

When Shui Shu heard this, Longyan was furious, and Huo De swung the wine glass on the table to the ground, scaring everyone in the hall to groan and kneel down. No matter how many contributions you have made, today someone wants to trap Beifu into a place of injustice and confuse me, such heinous people, even if they are hacked into pieces, they are not enough to appease my anger." His cold eyes swept towards Jiang Huan Ya and Yunque sneered and said, "Princess Fengyi and Princess Yun just now sang and reconciled, but you understand very well, and the twists and turns in the middle must be very clear to you, so I want to hear what you two have to say."

Jiang Yuya and Yunque knelt down under the steps, their faces were already dripping with sweat, and they hurriedly said: "The concubine also heard the rumors in the market, and the rest don't know about it." Jiang Yaoya raised her eyes slightly, and looked at Huifei and smiled slightly With a half-moving face, she was slightly startled unconsciously, and then stared fiercely at the side concubine Li Shi who was sitting there, and Li Shi lowered her brows and remained motionless.

"I'm asking you, who is Princess Fengyi looking at? Or is there anyone who is your accomplice?" Shui Shu looked at Concubine Hui, who hurriedly knelt down and said, "Please ask your majesty to investigate clearly, although my concubine and daughter-in-law are not You are very clear, but you will never do such a thing to frame Zhongliang." Shui Shu snorted coldly, and said: "You are all very innocent now, where did you look like you were watching with your own eyes?"

The crowd remained silent for a while, Shui Shu's stern eyes turned to Liu Yue'e, who had already been shaking uncontrollably, and said coldly: "How dare such a cunning woman bring a bastard of unknown origin to confuse the blood of the royal family and frame the loyalty of the court. Tell me, who appointed you here?" Liu Yue'e was so frightened that she couldn't utter a word, she looked at Mrs. Ye for help, and Shui Shu followed her gaze, and suppressed the coldness between her brows. , said indifferently: "Ms. Ye Xu? But she ordered you to do this?" Liu Yue'e was only trying to save her life at this time, so she didn't care about anything else. Shui Shu's words fell into her ears, and she nodded in panic.

Hearing this, Mrs. Xu jumped up, pointed at Liu Yue'e and said, "You are such a tricky woman, you are really bloody." Then she turned and knelt down and said, "Please ask the sage to investigate clearly. The former Japanese were courtiers and lesbians. Princess Beijing went to the temple to offer incense together. On the way home, she saw a mother and child who were down and out. Because she couldn't bear it for a moment, she ordered someone to take her back to the mansion. Who knew that the child looked so much like Prince Beijing, so she hurriedly reported to the mother. The concubine, the concubine brought the mother and son back to the Beijing Palace, and the rest are unknown to the courtiers and concubines."

Daiyu smiled coldly, Qingwan had already moved to Daiyu's side, and said softly: "Biaogu Ye has been in Beijing Palace for a long time, and Mei Zhuang has never seen any kindness in her. If you reprimand and beat a maid who has made a small mistake, how can you be so kind as to feel compassion for a woman who looks like a beggar?"

Daiyu gently took her little hand, and said in a low voice: "How can you be so rude and presumptuous in front of the Holy One? Why don't you hurry up and apologize to the Holy One?" Shui Qingwan pursed the corners of her round lips, and walked up with her short body. The first two steps imitated Daiyu's palace ceremony just now, but after all her body was small and unstable, if Shui Haoze hadn't stepped forward to support her, she would have fallen to the ground, and said in a childlike voice: "It's Mei Zhuang It is rude and presumptuous, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Shui Shu has long been amused by her cute appearance, looked at Dai Yu and smiled, "I always say 'Children's words are innocent, but they are the most true', but I think Mei Zhuang's words are very appropriate."

Mrs. Ye Xu's heart was full of hatred and anger, she kowtowed tremblingly and said: "There is a reason for this, only because Liu Yue'e has the jade pendant of the Beijing Palace on her body, so she believed such a tricky woman's words."

"The jade pendant you mentioned was given to Zhao Zheng, the chief guard of the palace, ten years ago. Naturally, Mrs. Ye didn't know about it." Beijing Wang Taifei stood up, smiled lightly and folded the pocket in her sleeve with both hands. Lifting it up, he said: "This is the letter written by the instigator who was found on the bandit who intended to assassinate the concubine two years ago. If it is correct, it should be written by Ye Zhenhong and Master Ye himself. The Holy Majesty will be able to understand it after checking the handwriting! "

As soon as these words came out, the entire hall was shocked, and Shui Shu raised his brows and looked at Princess Beijing in surprise.Mrs. Ye's wife, Mrs. Xu, waited desperately for the calm face of Princess Beijing. When they found out about this, they suppressed it because they were thinking about the separation between siblings. Unexpectedly, they repeated their trick two years later, intending to take advantage of their concubine's trust in their daughter Ye Zhilan, and kill the unknown Liu Yue'e. Infiltrating into the Beijing Palace with this child, intending to use this matter to place the Beiwang in a place of disloyalty and filial piety, I hope the Holy Majesty will investigate thoroughly!"

Shui Shu took the booklet handed over by the inner eunuch and read it carefully, and immediately fell in front of Ye Zhenhong's eyes, and asked lightly: "Master Ye, did you write this letter yourself?" Ye Zhenhong's face was ashen and tense. Clenching his fists tightly against the floor, bowed his head and kowtowed to the ground, saying: "This letter is written by a humble minister."

"You really confessed it outright." Shui Shu sneered, and raised his voice to order the Imperial Forest Army outside the door, saying: "Remove Ye Zhenhong's imperial crown and court clothes, take him to the prison of the Criminal Ministry, and order Zhao Deming, the minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, to interrogate him strictly. Be sure to get everything to the bottom of it." Zhao Deming, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, hastily bowed and agreed.

Shui Shu looked at Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Ye with a gray face, and said indifferently: "As a woman, she can turn right and wrong with a brilliant tongue. The superior can't assist the husband, the inferior can't raise the children, and indulge her daughter to do evil. Back then The matter of Princess Beijing was deliberately forgiving on the part of the concubine, but today she became more and more vicious. All the titles of Ye Xu's family were cut off, and her daughter Ye Zhilan was dispatched to the ancient tower of Northwest Ning for the rest of her life. Half a step into the capital."

The Imperial Forest Army who came in response pulled Ye Zhenhong and Ye Xushi out. Ye Xushi stared at the face of Princess Beijing with hatred, until now she still didn't understand.It was obvious that Princess Beijing had already been deceived by her and Ye Zhilan, but she didn't expect that at the last moment, instead of helping, she would beat them back, completely crushing their Ye Mansion and leaving no room for recovery!

"Princess Fengyi's incident was not previously identified, but based on rumors in the market to instigate right and wrong to instigate disputes, it is in vain to live up to my painstaking efforts in choosing you as Princess Fengyi. I think you are a first-time offender, so I will be dealt with lightly and the concubine's salary will be sacked." For half a year, I closed my door and pondered over my mistakes." Jiang Yuya suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and hastily kowtowed to thank the emperor for his kindness.

Yunque knelt down on the ground and waited for Shuishu to deal with it, but Shuishu just turned his head to look at Yunlong, and said indifferently: "Princess Yun is a figure of the Xiluo Kingdom, and no matter what punishment or disposition there is, leave it to Shizi Yun." Yunlong leaned over and knelt down and said: "Yunlong is very grateful to the Holy One for not punishing me." Then he turned his head to look at the skylark who was still kneeling on the ground, and coldly ordered the guard beside him: "Send the princess back to Xiluo Kingdom Dispose of it with the Lord, and set off tonight without any delay."

Looking at Liu Yue'e and Yu Cheng who were kneeling on one side at a loss, Shui Shu said indifferently: "Throw these unscrupulous women directly into the prison of the Criminal Ministry, list the charges and parade them in the streets for seven consecutive days, drag them out and behead them for public display. Find out this Leave the identity of the child to Prince Beijing to deal with!"

"These rumors and rumors have come here for no reason. I think it must be the work of the mother and daughter of the Ye family." Snorting, he looked at Princess Beijing and Daiyu with a faint smile: "The most implicated in this matter is the Palace of Beijing Palace. Reward the salary of Prince and Concubine Beijing, the prince of Beijing, the queen of Beijing, a pair of twelve glass screens with golden stars, red sandalwood, singing birds and flowers, and Princess Zhongshun, who is courageous and courageous. If someone discusses this matter in private in the future, if I hear it Say, no matter where you are, you will not be lightly forgiven!"

Shui Shu rubbed his forehead a little tiredly after finishing everything, opened his long eyes and looked at the people in the hall, and said indifferently: "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, gentlemen, don't lose your interest because of this, you don't need to drink and have fun Be rigid!"

After this incident, no one in the hall was still in the mood to drink. Concubine Hui sat quietly with lowered eyebrows and lowered eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.Shui Shu turned his head to look at Concubine Hui, and said indifferently: "Concubine Hui is always working hard on the affairs of the inner court and harem, but don't take it so that people are blinded, you should ask more, your ears are too soft. It's not a good thing." Concubine Hui didn't dare to say anything at this time, she bowed her body and responded, looking at Jiang Yuya with a bit of coldness and resentment.

Shui Pei, who had never spoken from the beginning to the end, had a slight smile on his face, but the veins on the back of his hand holding the wine glass were bulging, and he looked at Princess Beijing and Daiyu with eyes as deep as the sea, stood up and bowed down and said: "It's all from my sons." No, if there is no way to lead the family, it should also be punished."

Hearing this, the Crown Prince Shui Yun hurriedly knelt down and said, "Brother Feng Yi worked hard and devoted himself to the affairs of the court. Those who are punished are punished, those who deserve rewards are rewarded, and it is better not to implicate the innocent again."

Shui Shu frowned slightly and looked at Shui Yun who was kneeling on the ground, tapped the dragon chair with his fingers, and said earnestly: "The prince's house is kind and I am very relieved. King Feng Yi worked hard for the affairs of the court, and it is understandable. Take your seat." King Feng Yi bowed to Shui Yun and said, "My brother, thank you, brother!"

In such a situation of brotherly love, how many people are happy and how many people are worried, Daiyu lightly hugged the two children and sat by her side, watching Shui Yun's casual eyes looking at Hao Ze, her smile became more and more shallow.But at this time, she didn't want to pay attention to anything else. She was just a little surprised at the sudden change of Princess Beijing's attitude, and looked sideways at Princess Beijing Jing.

Walking to the carriage of Prince Jing's Mansion, Daiyu was carried into the carriage by familiar arms before waiting for the carriage.Looking up at him with reddish cheeks, she punched his chest with her pink fist, and said angrily, "I knew it was you playing tricks again." Curiously getting up from his arms, he asked, "Since you've already returned , why don't you go into the palace and report back to the Holy One?"

Shui Rong gently rubbed her forehead, and said with a light smile, "You're so smart, why are you so stupid now?" If he didn't come back earlier, who told Shui Shu about these things in advance?He chuckled lightly and said, "Otherwise, do you think the Holy One would just quietly listen to them quarreling with nothing to do?"

Daiyu shot him a look, looked up at Shui Rong in puzzlement, Shui Rong seemed to know what she was thinking, and said indifferently: "When I was young, my mother and concubine assisted me to achieve great things. She didn't have nothing in her heart. I know, but family love and resentment have always stood on the other side of the scale in my heart."
