Misty rain, red mansion, Concubine Xiaoxiang

When the lights first came out at night, Daiyu was washing with her two children.Dugu Qian made an appointment with Shui Rong to drink tea in the courtyard, the faint moonlight fell from the branches and leaves, and the only sound of the last insects in autumn was quietly heard!Dugu Qian didn't talk about water melting or talking, just sat quietly, each poured tea and drank for himself, as if the other party didn't exist at all!

"The prince is not a wise king. Does the Prince of Beijing still want to protect him to the end?" Duguqian placed the green glazed teacup on the stone table, staring quietly at Shui Rong, as if he wanted to dig out the secret from his calm face. his thoughts.

The gentle night wind blew the coolness on the person's body, and the water melted lightly: "I don't know if it's a Mingjun, I only know 'the thing of being entrusted with loyalty', if it's true that 'mud can't support the wall', then I can only do it." Let go of it!" During this period of time, too many things have been superimposed on one place, coupled with the fact that someone deliberately provokes, Shui Yun is suspicious and narrow-minded by nature, it is inevitable that the distance between each other will be alienated, and slowly fall into the trap of others!

Dugu Qian looked deeply at Shui Rong, a look of admiration flashed across his eyes, he let out a long breath, folded his arms behind his head, looked up at the moonlight, and said: "The so-called 'Wen dies to remonstrate, Wu dies to fight' are all These mediocre and useless people, if someone is not worth protecting at all, why bother to lose your life for him?" Knowing what he wanted to know, Dugu Qian stood up, brushed away the moonlight from his sleeves, and walked slowly Step on the moon and go!

Daiyu's autumn shirt looked thin under the moonlight, and Daiyu had already fallen into his warm embrace with Shui Rong outstretched her arms. She looked curiously at the Shui Rong she was drinking, and asked, "Where's Brother Dugu?" Looking at her small face, he said indifferently: "He went to rest? Why? Dai'er wants to see him?"

Daiyu smiled and nodded, and said: "Yes! I haven't seen him for a long time, and I have a lot to say to him!" Shui Rong stroked Daiyu's hair and asked, "Is Haoze Qingwan asleep?" Daiyu Blinking at Shui Rong, he nodded and said, "I fell asleep after washing."

finished washing?Shui Rong lowered his head and sniffed gently in her neck, whispering: "It smells so good!"

Daiyu nestled in his arms, her warm breath wrapped her whole body in it, she said regretfully: "I said I would drink two glasses of sake with him, but I went to sleep first!" She wrung her hands lightly She embroidered a handkerchief, her water-soluble eyes suddenly darkened, she held her chin and faced herself, looked at her smiling face, and said, "Dai'er wants to drink? Well, I'll accompany you!" Daiyu got up and headed all the way to Chengming Residence!

The boji was slightly drunk, Daiyu's cheeks were rosy and a little drunk, holding her watery cheeks, she said softly: "Rong Ying, don't keep dangling around, why do you have four eyes and two mouths? I really want to laugh Kill me." After saying that, he fell into Shui Rong's arms, not wanting to get up again.

Shui Rong held Daiyu in his arms, angrily and amusedly said: "I said I wanted to drink, but I was drunk before two drinks!" I had never seen Daiyu who was drunk before, and I didn't expect her to be so charming and cute.The rouge smudged little face was so beautiful, Shui Rong felt that her heartbeat seemed to speed up a lot, and Daiyu was still rubbing back and forth in her arms!

"Dai'er," Shui Rong called out in a hoarse voice, and Daiyu put her head on his jumping chest in doubt, giggling and said, "Rong Ying, your heart beats like a drum, why is it so fast? ?" Gently unbuttoning his skirt, touching his fiery chest with slender hands, Shui Rong froze, and hurriedly grabbed her mischievous little hand, saying: "Don't move!"

Clasping Daiyu's wrists with one hand, Shui Rong stood up holding Daiyu, put her on the bed, leaned over and said softly, "Sleep obediently when you're drunk, don't move around!" Si opened slightly, her charming face was like a flower, her arms were wrapped around his neck like willows, and she smiled charmingly drunk: "Who says you have to sleep obediently when you're drunk? I don't!" The slightly pouty diamond lips kissed his beautiful lips.

"Dai'er, Dai," the water-soluble breath became more and more disordered, and he knew that he would never be able to escape Daiyu's tenderness in his life.Sighing suddenly, he turned over and pressed her under him, passively kissed her red lips fiercely, and removed the bed curtain with his big hand, his hoarse voice could no longer be restrained, "You asked for this." The low-hanging curtain shook slightly, and the occasional murmur was suppressed in an instant!

"Mother, mother!" Shui Haoze's voice came from outside the door, Daiyu opened her eyes in a daze, but there was a groan, her body turned limply, and she muttered, "What is Haoze shouting for?" The coolness of the outstretched arm rose sharply. Daiyu raised her arm and looked at it carefully, but found that there was no thread on the arm, and patches of bruises were revealed!

Suddenly, he opened his eyes wide and looked at Shui Rong who was close at hand, his cheeks instantly turned red like a cloud, he hurriedly retracted his arms into the quilt, pulled up the brocade quilt to wrap himself tightly, and closed his eyes.Last night's half-drunk and half-awake scene imprinted in his eyes, and he covered his cheeks in embarrassment, but she was the one who took the initiative...

Shui Rong hugged her tightly in his arms, and said slowly: "Is it too late to know how to be shy now?" Daiyu's ears were red like red coral, she punched his chest with her pink fist, and said softly: "Why are you shy? What's there to be shy about? They're all old couples!"

"You are not allowed to drink in the future!" Shui Rong looked at Daiyu righteously, and Daiyu looked at him with a bit of a knot in her mind, "If you want to drink, you can only drink in front of me, do you understand?" Shui Rong looked at Daiyu seriously with a full face. Daiyu realized that her cheeks were flushed like fire, grabbed the pillow and hit him, and said angrily, "You," blushing fiercely towards his arm. After taking a bite, he wrapped himself in the brocade quilt and slowly got out of bed in relief!

Shui Qingwan looked at Daiyu with bright red cheeks, and asked curiously: "Is it hot today? Why is mother's face so red?" Shouting: "You don't care about me!" After saying that, she flicked her sleeves and walked to one side, Shui Qingwan looked at Shui Rong with aggrieved eyes, put her arms around his neck and asked, "What's the matter, mother?"

Daiyu turned around and stared at Shui Rong viciously, her cheeks and neck were all rouge red.Shui Rong coughed lightly, looked at her daughter with a smile, and said, "It's okay, your mother kissed her, she's not feeling well!" Holding Qing Wan to avoid the apple thrown by Daiyu, Shui Rong's face with a pursed smile became even more handsome!

Shui Haoze was originally lying on the stone table reading a book, looked up at his parents' strange expressions, then looked at Daiyu's high buttoned collar, shook his head lightly, and sighed: "It's true Qingwan, mother clearly If you are not feeling well, you have to say it out, if mother doesn't bully you, who do you bully?"

Qingwan looked at her brother with dark eyes, and hurriedly broke free from Shui Rong's arms, pulled Hao Ze and said, "Brother, let's go over there to play." Shui Haoze slowly put away the scroll, watching Daiyu grit his teeth and stare at him. Seeing them, giggling, pulling Shui Qingwan's arm and leaving the smoky gazebo!

"Still angry?" Daiyu slapped his arm away, Shui Rong held her again, pulled her to sit down, and said, "Are you really angry?" Filled with embarrassment, he grabbed his arm and grinded his teeth, saying: "I just knew that three of you bullied me!"

Shui Rong raised her head in a funny way, and said softly: "Do you think you are a child under one year old? Do you still grind your teeth like Hao Ze and Qing Wan did when they had teeth?" Dai Yu was stunned when she heard that. , but immediately shook his arm away bitterly, and said, "Who wants to grind their teeth?"

"My lord, Eunuch Li who is beside the emperor is here!" Shui Rong frowned slightly, "What is he doing here?" Dai Yu also looked at him suspiciously.After thinking for a while, Shui Rong held Daiyu's little hand and stood up, saying, "Let's go see Eunuch Li." Daiyu nodded, looking up at the originally clear sky covered with deep clouds, a little bad thought came from her. My mind flashed!

In the trading market between Tianbi Dynasty and Xiluo Kingdom, hundreds of citizens of Xiluo Kingdom were massacred for no reason, and the special envoys sent by them were shot and killed in the post station just after they arrived in Tianbi Dynasty.In a rage, the king of the Xiluo Kingdom ordered Yunlong, the prince of Yun, to lead 20 iron cavalry soldiers to suppress Youyun Prefecture.All of a sudden, the relationship between the two countries dropped to a freezing point. When the governor of Youyun Prefecture arrived in the capital eight hundred miles away with an urgent document, all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked and in an uproar!

"The ministers in the court have their own masters and have their own masters. I want to hear your opinions." Shui Shu sat on the dragon chair in the imperial study room, and Mu Yanjun was in it.

Shui Shu looked sideways at Shui Rong and asked, "What does King Beijing think we should do with this matter?" Shui Rong bowed and said, "My minister thinks that a war between the two countries will lead to instability in the country and panic among the people, why don't you personally send an imperial envoy to come forward?" Go to Youyun Prefecture to find out the truth. One can find out the vicious villains who harmed the friendly relations between the two countries, and bring them to justice and hand them over to the Xiluo Kingdom. Suffer from the chaos of war!"

"The Xiluo Kingdom is so contemptuous of our Tianbi Dynasty's national prestige. Before the reason is found out, it has already attacked the city. The ambition of these wolves is clearly revealed. If they continue to tolerate the future, they will become serious troubles. The Xiluo Kingdom is entrenched in the southwest of the Tianbi Dynasty. Connecting with the Tianbi Dynasty in a remote area, strong soldiers and strong horses have always been a worry in my heart. If you let it go this time, you will definitely be raising tigers in the future, so I hope my father thinks twice."

"According to what you said, it's the main battle?"

"According to what my son said, I should immediately choose to lead my troops and generals to fight against the Xiluo Kingdom head-on!" A stern look flashed in Shui Yun's eyes.Shui Shu nodded, looked sideways at Shui Pei and said, "What does King Feng Yi mean?" Shui Pei bowed respectfully and said, "I will obey His Royal Highness." Shui Shu tapped the vermilion pen on the imperial case , bowed his head and muttered to himself.

"King Beijing grew up on horseback, why is he so stubborn this time?" Shui Yun frowned slightly and looked at Shui Rong. Although he was smiling, the smile didn't reach his eyes.

Shui Rong turned his head to look at Shui Yun and said indifferently: "As stated in the urgent document at [-] li in Youyun Prefecture, all the people killed in Guan City were citizens of Xi Luo Kingdom. The murderer did this for nothing more than to provoke Xi Luo In the anger of the country, he sent troops, causing the two countries to meet each other. If we send troops at this time, wouldn't we fall into the trap of others? The people of the world are all His Majesty and His Majesty's people, and this matter is inherently strange. If we can For a peaceful settlement, why do the two countries need to meet each other in battle?" Shui Shu raised his eyes and looked at Shui Rong quietly with admiration in his eyes!

Shui Peidan raised his eyebrows, looked at Shui Rong and said with a smile: "Although what King Beijing said is very true, but the Xiluo Kingdom bullies our Tianbi Dynasty's national prestige so much, isn't it afraid that people in the world will laugh at this great country, but they are afraid of the Xiluo Kingdom?" No?"

Mu Yanjun, who had been standing on one side, raised his eyes to look at Shui Pei, bowed to Shui Shu and said respectfully: "The Tianbi Dynasty has been established for a hundred years, and the world has been pre-established after a long war. These years, the Holy One is benevolent and filial. .Now that the achievements are obvious, we will go to war with our neighbors again. After a long time, the treasury will be empty and the people's livelihood will be filled. Is this what the Holy Majesty and His Highness want to see?"

After listening to the three of them finished speaking, Shui Yun looked at Shui Rong and Mu Yanjun with a slight frown, and said, "I am also very clear about the three princes' heart for the country, but I still agree with what King Feng Yi said. Can the ministers be sent out to find out the truth, the Xiluo Kingdom has long been entrenched in the southwest of the Tianbi Dynasty, where the food and grass are rich and the soldiers are strong, if the Xiluo Kingdom intensifies and invades again in the future, where will the majesty of the Tianbi Dynasty be placed?"

Shuishu listened to all their opinions, filtered them in his mind, and said lightly: "I also agree with the prince's intention to lead the battle." He took the imperial pen and swiped it down. When the name of the general was written, Shui Shu looked up at Shui Yun, and said, "But is there a suitable leader?"

Shui Yun pondered for a while, filtered through the generals in the court, and found two suitable candidates in his mind, before he could speak, he listened to Shui Shu and said: "In my opinion, if Prince Beijing leads the troops, It would be the best thing to be a member of the emperor's family and nobles to supervise the army on behalf of the emperor." Shui Yun was slightly startled, and then turned to look at Shui Rong, the expression in his eyes was unpredictable.

Shui Rong's eyes lightly met his examining gaze, and looked sideways at Mu Yanjun, who looked at Shuiyun with a bit of worry in his eyes.But Shui Rong gave a silent laugh, bowed and said, "My minister complies with the order!" His Majesty's golden words, does he still have room to refute?There was a hint of coldness between the lips and teeth, as if an ice cube was slowly melting in the mouth, and the coolness slowly slid down the throat and into the heart!

Only Shui Rong and Shui Shu were left in the imperial study room. Shui Shu sat quietly behind the dragon case and thought for a long time, then got up and walked to Shui Rong and said, "Do you understand why I asked you to lead the army?" How could Shui Rong not understand? ?Shui Shu wanted to take this opportunity to weaken the power of Li's family and take back the military power in Li Shou's hands, and said indifferently: "Although I am dull, I can understand a little bit."

Shui Shu patted Shui Rong on the shoulder, and said, "You know Yun'er's temperament, don't take many things to heart." Shui Rong responded indifferently, then bowed and walked out!

The palace lanterns outside the hall were always on, and Mu Yanjun leaned on the pillars and looked at the stars in the sky, and spread his hands when he saw the water dissolve.Shui Rong also spread his hands at him, and the two walked side by side on the white jade corridor in the palace, Mu Yanjun asked lightly: "You should know the taboo the prince has towards you now, why don't you refuse?"

Shui Rong lowered his head and straightened his sleeves indifferently, and said with a sneer: "Do you think I can refuse?" Mu Yanjun's expression paused, and then he remembered Shui Shu's expression, and lowered his head: "Yes, you didn't refuse at all. Opportunity." Because it was Shui Shu who had already been selected, what could Shui Rong say?

"Being a minister and obeying the emperor's orders is the most basic thing for a courtier!" Mu Yanjun looked at him, and sighed with a sigh: "When you come back after winning the battle, I'm afraid that the title of master of meritorious service will fall on your shoulders." On the head." Shui Rong has helped Shui Yun too much to consolidate his position as the crown prince, and the bigger the hero, the more taboos Shui Yun has in his heart, let alone Shui Rong has a son who was born with a vision. The greatest taboo of the reader!

Shui Rong pulled out a cold smile, that cold expression was covered with autumn frost, cold to the bone, "Unfortunately, he is not the king now!" Just half a king.

"Except for important matters, almost all government affairs are in the hands of the crown prince." Shui Rong paused after listening to Mu Yanjun's words, looked at him, and said, "As long as you are half a step away from that position." He is not considered a king. What's more," Shui Rong thought of Shui Pei who had a tense expression today, and said lightly: "Senior Yun and King Fengyi have a very good relationship, but he can support the prince without mercy. His attitude is really worth pondering!"

Mu Yanjun was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that Shui Pei seemed to agree with Shui Yun during the discussion today, and he had no opinion at all, so he frowned and said: "Yes, he has been silent for almost three years. , the Li family’s behavior is much more low-key.” The more silent the more uneasy and frightening people feel, if he believes that Shui Pei gave up the battle for the throne, then he would rather believe that the moon will fall into the water, which is a fantasy Impossible!

"Three years ago, when the concubine met the murderous hands of the shooting star archer, we once said that nearly a hundred of the archer's whereabouts are still unknown!" After thinking for a while in his mind, he handed the white jade pendant in his sleeve to Mu Yanjun, Said: "You are guarding the capital this time, this jade pendant can mobilize 5000 troops stationed outside the city." Mu Yanjun took the white jade pendant and said: "Don't worry, Brother Bei, I will try my best to take care of your family! "

When Shui Rong came back, it was already time to light the lamps, Daiyu stood quietly on the porch, looking at her husband who had returned from stepping on the moon with a smile on his face.Shui Rong stood quietly in the courtyard and looked at her, with a moon-like smile on his handsome face, he stepped forward and held Daiyu's slightly cold hand, and said softly, "Why don't you wait inside?"

Daiyu pulled him into the house, and said with a light smile, "I don't like to let you see me sooner?"

"I don't like it!" He would rather see her later than her hands be so cold.

How could Daiyu not understand his intentions, she nodded with a smile and sighed, "It turns out that I did something wrong with good intentions, so I won't wait for you there next time." Shui Rong smiled slightly, full of pity and admiration Lian, gently pulled back the hair on her temples, and said lightly: "In such a cold day, you stand at the door to blow air without even drying your hair, how good is your body now?"

"Anyway, it's much better than before!" At least it won't offend the old disease when encountering cold wind, and the soft eyes are like spring waves, which almost makes Shui Rong indulge in it and refuse to extricate himself!

After combing her sideburns, she didn't know how to speak, the court clothes on her body hadn't come off yet, and the king hat with hairpin tassels on her head made his face look like a crown and eyes like a bright star.Daiyu sighed softly, hugged his waist behind her silently, and said: "Your court clothes are really strange to me!"

Without letting Shui Rong answer, Dai Yu covered his mouth with her delicate hands, looked at the tenderness in his eyes, and said softly: "But no matter how strange the clothes are, I am no stranger to the person wearing them, because he is my husband and my wife." Lover." Since he was born in the royal family, he bears the responsibilities that he should bear, so how could he just leave it alone?

"However, where are you going, where will I go by your side? You said before, if I don't leave that day, I won't let me leave your side for half a step in the future. This is your oath, and you must not break your promise! " Daiyu raised her head and squinted her eyes slightly to look at Shui Rong's sinking complexion, her brows were full of tenacity, and she would never allow Shui Rong to refuse even the slightest bit!

From the moment Eunuch Li passed on the decree, Daiyu already understood that some things were not because they wanted to give up and not come to them.She found out sadly that she thought she had walked out of the quagmire and saw hope, but she didn't expect that it was just a small island resting temporarily in the quagmire.

Shui Rong caressed her slippery skin affectionately, looked at her for a long time quietly, with a slight smile in his eyes, nodded heavily, and said, "It's hard for you to remember. Good!" It's good to bring her by your side, He is not at ease leaving her alone in this palace compound!

"Father, mother, concubine, and sons and servants also go with father and king." Shui Haoze walked to Shui Rong and knelt down on one knee, his small body straightened like a man.Shui Qingwan looked at her parents and then at her elder brother with eyes like black jade, she knelt down on one knee like her elder brother, and said in a childlike voice: "Qingwan will also go with her father, mother and concubine."

Princess Beijing stood behind her with a slightly paused expression, looked at the two four-year-old children kneeling on the ground, stepped forward and said indifferently: "Your father and king are going to fight, and it is out of line to take your mother and concubine with you. The two of you You're just a four-year-old naughty boy, how could you go to the battlefield with your father, queen, mother and concubine?" Saying this, Qing Zhu stepped forward and pulled the two of them up.

Shui Qingwan shook off Qingzhu's arm, got up and grabbed Daiyu's skirt, and said nonchalantly: "My daughter doesn't want it, my daughter has to go with her parents." Shui Haoze looked sideways at Princess Beijing and said indifferently: "Grandmother used to often It is said that the ancestors of the Beijing Palace grew up on horseback. Although Hao Ze was born in wealth, how can he forget his roots and uselessness? Going to the battlefield with his father and mother is the best experience! "

The Princess of Beijing Jing's face was a bit stern, and said: "You are the grandson of the Beijing Palace, how can you go to the battlefield at your own risk? If you want to practice, how many times in Beijing are you unable to practice?" Turning his head to look at Shui Rong and Daiyu, he said without any refutation: "Hao Ze and Qing Wan must stay in the mansion, they are not allowed to follow!"

Daiyu leaned over and caressed their little faces, and said: "Listen to grandma, the battlefield is not a place to play, you should study at home obediently, okay?" Shui Haoze and Shui Qingwan grabbed Daiyu's clothes one by one. Qingwan even raised her eyebrows and looked at Princess Beijing and said, "I don't want it. I don't know when my father and mother will come back. If one day grandma finds another brother or sister of ours, we will come back soon." At that time, I didn’t know where I left my brother and me.”

In her small mind, she still remembered the concern and kindness that Queen Dowager Beijing had shown to Yu Cheng that day.When these words came out, Princess Beijing's face turned red and white, and Daiyu patted her shoulder with a hint of coldness in her eyes, and said sternly: "What nonsense is Qingwan talking about? Didn't mother tell you already, the matter Isn't that so?"

Shui Qingwan nestled in Daiyu's arms resolutely, with tears rolling down from her eyes, Shui Haoze had already stepped forward and held his younger sister's hand and said: "Although the concubine mother had explained clearly that day, Haoze and Qingwan are not without As a child who remembers things, it is inevitable that I will feel a little uncomfortable, so I ask my grandmother and concubine to forgive me!"

Princess Beijing only felt a chill in her heart, no matter how angry she was, she looked at the two children with strong temperaments, waved her hand lightly, and said, "Forget it, your family of four is fine too. Let's all go, and go to the palace to be quiet for a while." After speaking, he walked back to the inner room while supporting Qing Zhu's hand!

Sitting in the garden, Daiyu looked at Qingwan and reprimanded lightly: "How could Qingwan be so rude to grandma? Why hurt grandma's heart?" Shui Qingwan bit her lip and looked at Shui Rong, throwing herself into his arms In the middle, he rubbed his head and said: "Father, look, mother and concubine are going to start blaming others again."

Shui Rong patted his daughter in his arms with a smile, and said, "Hao Ze and Qing Wan go back and prepare things first, okay? We're leaving in three days." Shui Hao Ze walked out holding his sister's little hand, and said with a smile: "It's autumn now, and it will be winter in a few days. If my sister hasn't prepared the winter clothes, how can your little face be so beautiful after being frozen?" Stepping through the garden, the nanny and the maid also hurriedly chased after her!

Seeing the figures of the two children disappear around the corner, Shui Rong beckoned Daiyu to sit beside her, hugged her and leaned on her shoulder, and asked, "What is Dai'er worried about?" Daiyu raised her eyebrows. Yan Mei looked at Shui Rong and said, "You really don't know?"

Shui Rong smiled faintly: "Hao Ze and Qing Wan are not urchins who don't know anything, but because they know a lot, they are too sensitive to things. They remember the attitude of the concubine mother towards you. We have nothing to do about it. Let time slowly wear down their memory." He said with a smile: "The children you gave birth to yourself don't know their temperament? Alright, let's go!"

Looking at his smile, Daiyu suddenly asked: "Rong Ying, did you already know what happened back then?" Shui Rong looked sideways at Daiyu, twisted her nose, and said, "Do you know what happened?" In any case, they are already dead people, and the mother concubine has probably put most of her down in her heart!"

Daiyu tugged on his sleeve resolutely, and said: "This matter is also related to my mother and your mother-in-law, how can you hide it from your Dai'er, tell me quickly!" Shui Rong glanced at her, Pulling her up, she smiled as she walked: "Okay, my Dai'er, you said I would tell you, how should you repay me?" The voice drifted along the corridor, and the muffled hum came from afar, Daiyu snorted angrily, "Just repay you like this, tell me quickly!"
