Misty rain, red mansion, Concubine Xiaoxiang

The clear and dark fragrance of pear blossoms slowly flowed in the hall, slightly smothered by the powder, the pearls and emeralds collided exquisitely, and Daiyu sat quietly on the high seat with her fragrant cheeks lightly, her eyes glanced at Shui Rong from time to time.Seeing Shui Rong smiled helplessly, and put the Handing green tea in her hand.

In the hall, the soothing light green ice silk gauze and gold thread are hooked and held together, the cicada's wings are clear and clear, the mind is clear and the heart is calm, and the minister of the Ministry of Rites holds a red roster wrapped with gold thread in his hand and reads the names one by one.The woman who had read it walked slenderly, with a dignified character, and bowed her eyebrows slightly, looking forward to the pity of the holy face with her slightly shy eyebrows.

From the time of the draft to the day when the sun shines brightly over the cornices, there are still no signs left by Shui Rong and Dai Yuyou.Looking at each other, Shui Rong Daiyu watched calmly with fading eyes, and those accompanying ministers looked at the beautiful girl who hadn't read her name yet with some anxiety!

Gradually, the pupils are like autumn frost sprouting, the face carved out of beautiful jade is beautiful and refined, and the unique and independent demeanor of its own empty valley and orchid makes people feel ashamed of themselves.Shui Rong looked at those brows, lips, or outlines with weak frown marks, all of them looked a bit like Daiyu, with an indifferent smile on his lips, and his slender fingers lightly clasping his arms, indifferent and silent !

At the end of the long line, Daiyu took the embroidered handkerchief to cover up her slightly tired face, and looked down at the few elegant and simple women left behind by Shui Rong. In the end, how many people are left are relieved!

"Yao Shuyuan, the daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, bestowed the title of Princess Yucheng on King Yucheng, Li Xiuning, the daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of War, bestowed the title of Princess Concubine on King Fucheng, and Yu Fangning, the daughter of the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, bestowed the title of Princess Concubine on Ning Cheng on the other three." The prince sided with the princess, Shangguan Yunlan raised his eyebrows and looked at the indifferent faces of Shui Rong and Daiyu, and then at the officials who wanted to get close to the disheveled faces, and hurriedly pulled the embroidered handkerchief to cover the corners of his lips.

Such a ruthless trick was used as a gesture of the royal draft, and all the young girls from the capital were sent up.The show girls who were dismissed this time are no longer eligible to participate in the election, I am afraid that those who are eager for quick success and quick profit will have green intestines now, and the ears of Shui Rong Daiyu may have been quiet for a long time.

"Brother Dugu, take care of you and sister Haimeng!" Daiyu looked at Duguqian and Haimeng who were about to leave with reluctance, and Haimeng held Daiyu with tears in his eyes, sobbing and choking Said: "Obviously I came this time to let my sister accompany us back to Haizhong, but I didn't expect that we still can't go together."

"What is there to be reluctant about? If I find a spare time another day, my sister will definitely go to Haizhong to find you to play." Daiyu patted her back to comfort her, but the tears in the corners of her eyes could not help sliding down.

Duguqian's deep eyes fell on Daiyu Ruyu's face, and after a long time he said: "Sister Yu'er is so precious!" Daiyu nodded tearfully and said: "Brother Dugu, don't worry." With so much worry and reluctance, he looked at Daiyu silently for a long time and finally sighed silently, patted Haimeng on the shoulder, and said, "We should go."

Haimeng wiped away his tears indiscriminately, looked at Daiyu reluctantly and then at the two baby dolls standing beside her, finally got on the sedan chair and left.Duguqian was riding on the horse, without turning his head, he said: "There is a picture scroll in Yunyi Palace, sister Yu'er has time to get it back." After saying that, he led the crowd away.

In the celadon urn in the main hall of Yunyi Palace, there is a scroll painting, Daiyu stepped forward and slowly unfolded it, her eyes were filled with moist luster.The one holding the candied haws in her hand and smiling innocently on her face was the young girl at that time, and the one holding her small hand was the young Duguqian.Such a scroll of paintings brought back Daiyu's dusty memories for many years, when she was innocent and young, but now she is getting farther and farther away.

In a trance, she was already the queen of the Tianbi Dynasty, and he was the king of Haizhong.The figure paintings outlined by the strokes and patterns between the lines carry countless feelings. His heart is not that Daiyu doesn't understand, but that there is nothing to repay in this life.

The breeze blows through the lotus leaves, rolling and undulating, and the unique fragrance comes slowly along with the sound of the wind. The dark paperweight stone presses down on the rice paper that wants to dance with the wind. There are layers of lotus leaves painted in ink on the paper. Shui Qingwan looks at it The person holding the treasured bun smiled happily and said, "Mother's painting is Qingwan."

Daiyu glanced at her with bright eyes, nodded and smiled: "Qingwan can still recognize your small figure." Shui Qingwan only said excitedly: "Wow, mother's painting looks like, when did mother learn to draw?" Characters? Didn’t Father say that Mother is very bad at drawing characters?”

Daiyu looked slightly sunburned, narrowed her eyes and said: "Your father really said that?" Shui Qingwan realized that she had said something wrong when she saw Daiyu's unkind expression, she bit her lips and giggled twice, then ran away Drive away, said with a smile: "Perhaps my daughter heard it wrong, it's nothing more."

Daiyu stared at her daughter's leaving back with wide eyes. After a long time, she turned her head angrily and wanted to pick up the brush to paint again, but suddenly felt dizzy and shook her head hastily, but saw the flying yarn in front of her eyes getting more and more serious. annoying.The dizzy hands and feet fell into the chair, and the bluffing Zijuan and Hanying hurried forward and asked, "What's wrong with you, empress?" Duosheng ordered the little maid to invite the imperial physician and Shui Rong to come.

The last impression I had was the imperial doctor who came in a hurry and the tall and straight figure, who almost flew over to hold her in his arms, and fell into the familiar embrace, Daiyu closed her eyelids and passed out.

"Dai'er, Dai'er." The water-melting call made Daiyu wake up from the mist. Looking at the familiar ceiling and hanging drapery, just as she opened her eyes, she was hugged and leaned against the familiar embrace. Daiyu turned around. Looking at Shui Rong's moody expression, she took his arm softly and asked, "What's wrong with me?"

Hao Ze and Qing Wan were lying on the edge of the bed, trying to hold Daiyu's arm, but Shui Rong swung it away. Qing Wan giggled and looked at Shui Rong's expressionless face, "Mother, mother, brother He Qingwan will soon have a little brother."

Daiyu looked up at Shui Rong in surprise, only to see that Shui Rong's face had turned half black, her heart was filled with joy, she gently covered her lower abdomen with her slender hands, the eyes were so dazzling, she smiled lightly after a long time, "That's great." !"

"Okay? I don't see anything good." There was no joy on the watery face, but her fingers trembling gently held Daiyu's skirt, pulled the brocade quilt to cover her with her, looked sideways at Imperial Physician Wang and asked angrily : "Didn't Imperial Physician Wang say that those decoctions can prevent conception?"

This, this, Imperial Physician Wang's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he laughed wryly.Although Shui Rong asked him to prescribe Bizi Decoction, he still had to ask the husband and wife about having children.

"Doctor Wang go down first."

Daiyu's words made Imperial Physician Wang hurriedly bowed as if he had been pardoned and said, "I will take my leave."

Daiyu straightened her body and stared at Shui Rong with clear eyebrows, said: "Isn't it good to have children? Hao Ze and Qing Wan are already this big, and they won't be so deserted if they have younger siblings to accompany them. The courtiers also won't say in a few words that the number of heirs in the palace is weak. Why is Rong Ying so unhappy about such a good thing? Or are you tired of the three of us, mother and child?" Shui Rong listened to Daiyu's barrage. She said with an angry voice, "What is Dai'er talking about?"

"I don't know if my father is tired of us, but I am definitely not tired of my mother. My mother has not seen me. Just now my father saw my mother fainted, and my hands trembled so that I could hardly hold my mother." Shui Haoze slowly overflowed Smiling, looking at Shui Rong's sharp eyes with a teasing tone, he said again: "My child clearly remembers that my mother is very light."

"Shut up!" Shui Rong let out a low growl, Shui Haoze shrugged his shoulders, looked sideways at Zijuan and Hanying who were laughing and said with a smile: "This is not a child's nonsense, it is obviously something that my father has done." What do you want to deny?" Shui Rong's slender fingers pointed to the outside of the hall, and said coldly: "Go out."

Shui Haoze nodded and sighed with a snickering Qing Wan: "Come on, now that the father has a younger brother, he won't want to see us two anymore. Let's go obediently." Feeling depressed, Daiyu bit her lip to suppress her full of smile.

"Laugh if you want to laugh." Shui Rong rubbed his forehead wearily, this kind of son really is, he hugged Daiyu tightly in his arms, kissed the corners of her raised lips with his lowered lips, and sighed softly : "Don't give me even the slightest bit of face, I really can't do anything about the three of you."

The gentle and tender kiss made Daiyu close her eyes to bear his tenderness. It took a long while before she opened her eyes and stretched out her hands to pull the corners of his lips, trying to pull out some arcs, pouted and said: "Rong Ying smiled, I don't like you It's a good thing to have children, and Dai'er likes to have our children."

Shui Rong raised the corners of her lips meaningfully, and Daiyu said dissatisfiedly: "Laughing is not as good as crying." Shui Rong raised his brows slightly, and said, "Then do you want me to cry for Dai'er to see?"

"……J."

Regardless of whether Shui Ronggao is happy or not, the child came so suddenly.Daiyu was very sick, and often pulled Shui Rong's sleeves to make him fall asleep reading a collection of poems or a collection of vernacular jokes. Shui Rong had no choice but to deal with the affairs of state every day, and obediently came back to read incomprehensible funny books or collections of vernacular Chinese For Daiyu to sleep.

Time flies, and the days passed between the fingers can never be found again.

"The rooster is crowing, and the morning is full." Daiyu was so troubled by him that she couldn't breathe, poked her head out from his shoulder, and looked at the thin sunlight outside the curtain, her naughty heart suddenly aroused.Shui Rong snorted, and his lips and teeth gnawed at her collarbone more and more, moving down all the way, and said indistinctly: "The rooster crows, the sound of a fly."

"The east is bright, and the dynasty is prosperous." Panting, Daiyu clung to his back with her slender hands, and her playfulness was still unfinished.

"The bandit is bright in the east, the light of the moon." Yan Bi Shuirong sealed her naughty lips, the smooth and jade-like skin made him fondle admiringly and gently supported her all the way down the back, Daiyu's body trembled slightly Stretching her body, she couldn't help moaning softly, entangled until dawn.

"Mother." Shui Chenhuan, who was eight years old, ran over holding the colorful kite in his hand, and was very happy to see Daiyu.The fat man who had almost had a dystocia eight years ago is now taller, but he doesn't look like he was chubby when he was a child.

"Brother and sister said they would come back as soon as they could fly the kite, but I still haven't seen them come back after flying the kite for a long time yesterday and today." Shui Haoze followed Mu Yanjun to Jiangnan to deal with political affairs. Qing Wan couldn't plead, so she sneaked out in the middle of the night pretending to be a servant, and almost never scared Dai Yu so much that she couldn't sleep.

Fortunately, Shui Haoze understood Daiyu's thoughts very well, and at the same time as he dragged Shui Qingwan out among the servants in the queue, Kuaima ordered someone to send back a letter of peace, and Daiyu just let go of her heart.He just secretly remembered that he would wait for Qing Wan to come back and lock her in the bedroom for three years and not allow her to step out.

Daiyu still hated herself thinking about that willful and naughty daughter, the older she was, the more disorganized she became.Obviously this year is the year she will be robbed, but she doesn't care at all, and often laughs at them for being mediocre. This daughter really doesn't make people worry at all.

"Dai'er is calm and graceful again?" Shui Rong walked in, picked up the younger son and kissed him, and said with a smile, "Now the wind is just right for Chenhuan to fly a kite." Shui Chenhuan smiled obediently and nodded, holding his hand The kite in the middle ran to find someone to play with.

He waved his hand to make all the serving maids retreat, Shui Rong hugged Daiyu in his arms, put his chin on her shoulder and said with a smile: "Qingwan's temperament is completely inherited from Dai'er, why is Dai'er angry with her?" ? If you are angry, then you are angry with yourself. Didn’t Hao Ze’s letter say that Qing Wan obediently followed him?”

Daiyu turned around and gave him a sideways glance, twisted his cheeks and said angrily: "It's always you guys who bully me alone, no matter what, you'll be at ease without you." Her arms tightened, she pursed her lips and said, "What did Dai Erhun say?"

"Qing Wan is her 16-year-old fate this year, but she doesn't care at all. I really don't know why she is so stubborn." Dai Yu leaned on Shui Rong's shoulder helplessly, and sighed.

"Duguqian said that Qingwan's life will be saved by someone, and Dai'er doesn't need to be so worried, let alone Haoze is still by her side. Although they are the same age, Haoze is much more stable than Qingwan. "Shui Rongru comforted Daiyu, and Daiyu could only sigh in agreement, so what if she disagrees?Now Qingwan is 16 years old, why is she still a little girl playing around beside her?

Spring flowers are in full bloom, and peach blossoms are everywhere. Shui Qingwan is wearing a water-red dress, and her graceful face is full of sassy spirit.Shui Haoze chased after her on horseback, and raised his voice: "Qingwan, slow down, don't run like this again, hear?"

Following the sound of the wind, Shui Qingwan turned her head and smiled coquettishly: "What are you afraid of, brother? You are about to enter Beijing now, so what if you let me run away?" Bi Yue urged the horse to move forward, giggling along with the pink powder The peach blossoms spread all the way.

Mu Yanjun caught up with Shui Haoze and sighed: "Princess Mei Zhuang's equestrian skills are inferior." Shui Haoze looked back at Mu Yanjun with slender phoenix eyes and said with a slight smile: "Uncle Zhongshun, don't do that. You know that Qingwan is stubborn by nature, even the emperor and the queen can't do anything about her, now we just take her back home safely."

The dark eyes and handsome brows are more and more similar to Shui Rong, Mu Yanjun looked at Shui Haoze with an approving smile, although he was only 16 years old, the way he handled things was really admirable.There will never be the slightest sloppiness, and his neat methods sometimes make him feel inferior to his old bones.

"Ah..." Shui Qingwan's exclamation came from the peach forest in front, Shui Haoze hurriedly rode his horse and whipped his whip to catch up, and the imperial army behind him had already divided into several groups to surround the Taolin.

Seeing the scene in front of them, Shui Haoze and Mu Yanjun couldn't laugh or cry, Shui Qingwan came out of the haystack with a disheveled face, her black hair was covered with grass clippings, she looked at the horse's hooves around her, and smiled, Standing up with a blushing face, he twisted his clothes and said angrily, "Don't let brother laugh at me."

Shui Haoze pursed his lips and did not show the slightest smile, but said in a deep voice: "You shouldn't have come out with me behind your father's back, and you're still half dishonest now, so hurry up and follow me to Beijing to send you off." It will be next to the Queen Mother." Shui Qingwan pouted, even though she was dissatisfied with years of experience telling her that it would be better not to fight back, she lowered her head and muttered: "Got it."

"Mother." Like a butterfly fluttering into Daiyu's arms, Daiyu was staggered by her feet, Shui Rong hurriedly hooked her slender waist and leaned against her arms so as not to fall, and put the reckless The daughter stabilized herself, and reprimanded with a straight face: "Why doesn't he know how to be careful when he is such a big person? Can your mother withstand such a bump from you?"

Daiyu leaned against Shui Rong's arms to gain a firm foothold, stared at the smiling daughter standing in front of her eyes, pulled Shui Rong's arm with a straight face, and said coldly: "Rongying, I'm tired, now I want to go back and rest." Shui Qingwan Her smiling face immediately turned into a bitter face, and she tugged on Daiyu's sleeve and said tenderly: "Mother, good mother, it's Qingwan's fault, Qingwan shouldn't have gone out behind her back, mother just wants to beat her and punish her." Just open your mouth and do it, my daughter misses you so much."

Bright eyes blinked and tears rolled down Yubai's cheeks, but Daiyu ignored her, and said calmly: "Princess Mei Zhuang is getting bigger and more minded, your tears are worthless, if you want to cry, go back Your bedroom closes the door and cries as much as you like, I just treat it out of sight and out of my mind." The slippery sleeves slipped from between Shui Qingwan's fingers, and Shui Qingwan couldn't help but stare in amazement with tears hanging on her face. Seeing Daiyu leaving with her sleeves coldly.

"You were born and raised by your mother. Even though we can't figure out your temperament, don't you know that your mother is wrong? You should stop pretending to cry and show sympathy. You should also know that your mother is worried about you." Shui Haoze walked away gracefully. He came forward, with a doting smile on his gentle face, rubbed the hair on her forehead, and sighed: "It's no wonder that the queen mother is angry."

Hearing what he said, Shui Qingwan wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, then grabbed his sleeve and asked, "Then what should Qingwan do? The queen mother is always so angry, and Qingwan feels very sorry." Shui Haoze grumbled Nuzui looked at Shui Rong who helped Daiyu in, and whispered with a smile: "If it is said that the best way to restrain the queen mother is only the father, think about it carefully, and figure it out by yourself." After speaking, he covered his smile and followed Water-soluble Daiyu walked in.

Shui Qingwan stomped her feet and bit her lips, looking at her elder brother who refused to save him, and said bitterly, "Well, you Shui Haoze, you are so desperate to die." Shui Haoze paused, raised his eyebrows and turned his head With a smile that wasn't a smile, she said: "Why did Qing Wan say this? When will my brother turn his back on him?"

"Sister." Shui Chenhuan hugged Shui Qingwan's leg, raised his head and smiled and said, "My brother is not willing to save me, but I have to ask my mother's forgiveness for my sister's affairs, otherwise if my brother opens his mouth, when the time comes The queen mother even blamed the elder brother for going in, so the elder sister should know that the queen mother is really worried."

"Chen Huan is the most obedient." Shui Qingwan leaned over and kissed her younger brother's forehead, rolled her eyes and walked in holding his hand, and said with a smile: "How about Chen Huan and his sister go in to meet the queen? Shui Chenhuan looked at her rolling eyes and shivered with coldness, smiled dryly, hurriedly waved his hands and stepped back, grabbed the kite on the ground and ran, "Sister, I'd better explain to my mother by myself, I don't want to mess with you." The queen mother is angry, and the emperor will not lock me up when the time comes?"

Looking at the shadow of Shui Chenhuan running away with hatred, Shui Qingwan pursed her red lips helplessly, and when she looked up, she saw Shui Rong standing in front of the hall with a cold expression, her toes scratching the ground for a while, taking a deep breath and dawdling. walked over, stood in front of him and bowed his head, and said, "Royal Father."

Seeing her daughter's appearance, Shui Rong raised her eyebrows, and asked lightly, "How are you playing outside?" Shui Qingwan peeked at Shui Rong's face with an unclear expression, and after a long time said, "Following brother, it's okay, it's no fun. Yes, that is, just walking around Jiangnan."

"Jiangnan is your mother's hometown, don't you want to share what you see and hear with your mother?" The smile on the corner of her lips made Shui Qingwan understand instantly, she stepped forward to hold Shui Rong's arm and raised her head with a coquettish smile: "Or Father is the best." With a faint smile, he pushed her arm and said indifferently, "What's wrong with father? Father didn't say anything." After finishing speaking, he stopped looking at her, turned around and walked towards the hall .

Daiyu was not relieved until she heard Shui Haoze said that nothing special happened in her trip to the south of the Yangtze River, but her growing worry was still lingering in her heart.Standing up and walking to the window, looking at the peach red and apricot white outside the window covered by the soft smoke of white gauze, she sighed silently.

"Uncle Dugu once said that my sister's life will be rescued by someone, so why should the mother worry about it? The mother's body is not very strong, and she should take good care of her body." When she was young, Daiyu turned around and said with a slight smile: "For a while, I still remember that you were still a baby, but now you have grown up like this."

Shui Haoze's cheeks were slightly red, he stepped forward to help Daiyu to sit down, and said with a smile: "People will grow up, so they can't just stay in their infancy and tire their parents." Daiyu caressed his temples lovingly , Smiling and sighing: "Yes, I always have to grow up."

Shui Haoze saw that Daiyu was still as beautiful as before, and said with a slight smile: "Daddy can talk about going out with mother to travel around the great rivers and mountains in his spare time, how dare Haoze not grow up sooner?"

"At least you have some filial piety." Shui Rong held Daiyu's slender hand caressing his temples behind him, stretched out his hand to embrace her, stared at his son and said, "Since you have this filial piety, why don't you hurry up and get busy?" ? Your Uncle Zhongshun has already started to hand over the matter properly, but you are still grinding your teeth here, hurry up."

Shui Haoze squeezed a smile in his eyes, Daiyu's cheeks were flushed, watching Haoze go out, Shui Rong bowed his head and kissed her red lips, and said domineeringly: "Even if he is your son, you are not allowed to get close to him like this." Daiyu looked up at him, not knowing whether to laugh or to laugh, and said angrily, "My son is also jealous, I really don't know what Rongying is thinking."

Shui Rong sighed, and said: "What can I think? I have been trapped in this palace for more than ten years, not to mention Dai'er, but I am really bored. Now I just wait for Hao Ze to take over Datong, the two of us Just go sightseeing." Daiyu pursed her lips and said with a smile, "Isn't it possible to go out to visit mountains and rivers at such a great age?"

Shui Rong looked at Dai Yu's face carefully, and said with a smile: "How old is she? I see that Dai'er hasn't changed much over the years, and now she's standing next to Qing Wan, she's just still childish , and the rest are not half a cent different."

"Father is right, Qingwan's mother is as beautiful as a flower, so how can she grow old?" Shui Qingwan walked into the hall without knowing when, grabbed Daiyu's sleeve and said with a smile: "Mother, this time my brother is going to the south of the Yangtze River. I bought a lot of local products for my mother." As he spoke, he took out the blessing dolls from his bosom and put them in front of Daiyu's eyes, and said with bright eyes: "This pair of blessing dolls is specially chosen by my daughter for Daddy. Mother, mother, do you like it?"

Daiyu looked at the big Ah Fu in her hand, and then at the face that resembled her, sighed silently, nodded her forehead with a sneer and said, "You!" Shui Qingwan's beautiful cheeks bloomed. Smiling, he put his arms around Daiyu's neck and laughed coquettishly, "Mother is the best."

Shui Rong smiled lightly at the mother and daughter who were embracing each other, stared at Daiyu and said with a smile: "When Hao Ze comes back tomorrow, you can leave the court affairs in his hands for a day, and tomorrow I will accompany you for a walk." Shui Rong Qing Wan jumped up happily, Dai Yu looked at Shui Rong in surprise, Shui Rong looked at her with a smile, and said softly: "Because of this fluffy girl, Dai'er has been bothering a lot these days, so I should go out for a walk tomorrow to relax."

The bustling street market has not changed much from the past, but Qing Wan, who has lived in the palace for a long time, keeps getting into the crowd with her close female officer. This hairy girl comes out."

Shui Chenhuan shrugged his shoulders, and said: "After all, my sister is a young girl, so I like these novelty things." Looking at the wicker basket in Qing Wan's hand, he muttered: "These things are more or less important at home. What? I just fell in love with the outside things."

Shui Rong looked at the appearance of his youngest son, looked up at Daiyu and said with a smile: "Who does this little guy look like?" Daiyu looked down carefully, and asked with a smile: "Who does Chen Huan think he looks like?" Shui Chenhuan shrugged his shoulders, pointed at his tender cheeks and said: "As far as looks are equal, father and mother are equally divided, so naturally temperament is also divided."

Shui Chenhuan, who doesn't care about everything, is a little more childish and stubborn than Haoze back then, with a gentle temperament, he really loves to laugh, and that smiling face makes people look at the sky without anger.Shui Rong once said that this kind of temperament is just right, in the future when Hao Ze is the emperor and he is the king, he can assist Hao Ze with a gentle temperament, no matter how good the two brothers are.
