Misty rain, red mansion, Concubine Xiaoxiang

Pan Mingyu, who was kneeling on the ground respectfully respecting his daughter-in-law's tea, with a bit of shyness on her beautiful face, held up the teacup and said, "I respectfully invite my mother to drink tea." Daiyu looked at Gao Qing's teacup with some sighs, Said: "This cup of daughter-in-law's tea is a bit late, but fortunately, I can still drink it." She took a sip, put the meeting gift that had been prepared in her hand, and smiled slightly: "The queen mother wishes you and the emperor a hundred years. It’s a good match, we will grow old together.”

The baby with pink makeup and jade was wrapped in the thin swaddle of dark brown and golden yellow brocade. Daiyu couldn't help but stretched out her hand to hug the child in her arms, and kissed and kissed the child fondly, looking up. Xiang Shui Rong smiled and said: "This is our grandson." Shui Rong took the baby from Daiyu's arms, looked at it carefully for a while, said nothing, nodded with a faint smile, and took the baby Handing it into Shui Haoze's hands, he said indifferently: "Your child, don't tire your mother if you hold her."

Shui Haoze looked at the milk baby sleeping soundly in his arms with a smile, he had never held a baby before, so he handed him into Pan Mingyu's hands, smiled at Shui Rong and teased: "I dare not tire my mother. Shui Rong nodded in satisfaction, and said, "It's good to know."

Dai Yujiao blushed and stared at him, stretched out her hand to hug the child, but Shui Rong held her arm and stood up, lowered her eyebrows and smiled, "Dai'er hasn't been back to Mingde Palace for a long time, don't you wonder about the changes here?" Is it?" Not allowing Daiyu to refute, she dragged her towards the inner room, Pan Mingyu looked at Shui Rong Daiyu's appearance, it was funny that while suppressing a smile, the deep envy in her eyes was like a mist that couldn't be covered up!

Shui Haoze's eyes are like birds counting the ripples on the surface of the water, the foggy eyes are full of smiles, Shui Chenhuan stares at their figures disappearing behind the curtain, puffs up for a moment, lowers his head, shakes his head and sighs authentically: "I know that when the father sees the mother, it is like a mad bee, a wave and a butterfly sees a fresh flower, and abandons us regardless."

Shui Haoze arched his fingers and slapped his forehead fiercely, not knowing whether to laugh or laugh. Seeing him help his forehead in pain, he withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened, and said indifferently: "Who taught you these words? How can there be such an arrangement?" Father and mother's?"

"No one taught me, but I think father is too much. He hasn't seen mother for a long time, but he takes up half of the time and is reluctant to let mother accompany us." Shui Chenhuan, a half-adult boy , whose height reached Shui Haoze's shoulders, with a slender figure and a handsome face, but the childish look on that face was still half-grown.

Shui Haoze pursed his smile and said, "You still don't understand after growing up so big?" In Shui Rong's heart, Daiyu has always been ranked first, and then there are thousands of miles of land, and only third parties can rank them Three brothers and sisters.He already knew these things when he was very young, and he had already begun to accept his fate. In the eyes of Shui Rong, there were two parents who were so loving and loving, and they were superfluous, so he had to take it easy!

"By the way, Brother Huang, did you inform Sister Huang about Mother's return?" Shui Haoze remembered Shui Qingwan, who had married far away from the Northern Shu Kingdom, when he heard him ask, rubbed his nose and coughed dryly. He said freely: "This, isn't this just bringing my mother back? I haven't had time to inform her yet."

Seeing his appearance, Shui Chenhuan already understood, oh, and said with a smile: "It turns out that the emperor has completely forgotten about the emperor. If the emperor finds out that you didn't inform her someday, I'm afraid he will be sharpened." Kill and come back." Shui Qingwan, who hasn't returned for three years, keeps writing letters every year to ask about Daiyu's news. If Shui Haoze doesn't inform her of Daiyu's return in the future, I'm afraid she will really kill the general with her big belly on her back. return.

"Half-learned books and use nondescript words, it's better not to open your mouth in front of mother. If you open your mouth, I'm afraid you'll make your mother laugh, and the emperor will force you back to the study with a sword. , when the time comes, I will send the Taifu to chatter by your side all day and all night." Shui Haoze carelessly straightened his sleeves, and there was a threatening smile in his words that made Shui Chenhuan shudder. He took two steps back and hastily waved his hands: "Brother Huang, you hold your hand high, I know I was wrong."

"Are you sure you're wrong?" Shui Haoze stared at his sweaty forehead, and looked at him with a smile on his lips.Shui Chenhuan bowed his hands flatteringly and said with a flattering smile: "Of course I know I was wrong." Shui Haoze's eyes were full of distress and helplessness, he really didn't know what to say to this younger brother.

Shui Chenhuan accompanied the smiling face and retreated without any trace, but was stopped by Daiyu, he stopped and turned around with a bitter face, looked down at the smooth carved bricks on the ground, respectfully said "Is there anything the queen mother wants to order?" Daiyu looked at Chenhuan's face thoughtfully, beckoned him to come to her, looked sideways at Shui Haoze and Pan Mingyu, and said with a smile: " You go back first, your father wants to ask Chen Huan about his schoolwork."

When Daiyu's words fell to the ground, Shui Chenhuan's face collapsed immediately, Pan Mingyu pursed his lips into a smile, Shui Haoze clenched his hand into a fist against his nose and coughed softly, holding Pan Mingyu's hand and bowed forward with a slight smile: " If that's the case, then the minister will go first." There was a smile and relief in his eyes, he knew that Shui Rong Daiyu was not so easy to fool, and it might be good to let them persuade Shui Chenhuan.

Shui Rong's gaze moved from the desk to Shui Chenhuan's face, quietly looking at his mirror-like pupils thoughtfully, before he spoke for a long time: "Father remembers that your literary talents when you were young, although you can't say anything shocking the world, , but it is definitely not this kind of unreasonable and funny words and sentences. But now looking at the school poems you wrote, it has regressed to such a point in just half a year, how do you explain this?"

Shui Chenhuan lowered his eyebrows and remained silent, Junyi's brows were sharp and intelligent, no matter how he looked at them, he was completely different from the characters in the hall just now. Heaving a sigh of relief, the sadness in his eyes slowly flashed, and he opened his mouth after a long time: "I thought that being in the emperor's house was doomed to be involuntary, but I didn't expect the love between you brothers to be so strong."

"Brother Huang treated my son very well and did not owe him anything. The queen mother must not misunderstand." Shui Chenhuan hurriedly waved his hands to clear Shui Haoze away, and looked at Daiyu with a faint smile. Sure enough, she understood him, Daiyu put on a pretty face, and reprimanded: "Your brother is not the kind of character who runs away and disregards brotherhood. The queen mother knows, so don't say what you have or don't, just make it clear."

Shui Rong looked up at Daiyu in surprise, but lowered his eyebrows after a while, it seems that he was right to bring her back to the palace to search for memories.A warm smile overflowed from the corners of his lips, he looked at Shui Chenhuan with piercing eyes, and said slowly: "Say clearly, don't hide anything."

After hesitating for a while, Shui Chenhuan raised his head, glanced at Shui Rong and then at Daiyu, cleared his throat, lowered his head and said: "This is my own opinion, parents should not take offense when they hear it." After a pause, Seriously said: "Emperor brother is the emperor, and sons and ministers are ministers. Even brothers have to distinguish the relationship between emperors and ministers. The sons and ministers can distinguish clearly so they know what they are going to do. Father, queen and mother don't have to worry so much. This is The path chosen by my son."

The 13-year-old half-year-old boy has such a thorough mind, Shui Rongtou leans on the arms clasped behind his back and quietly looks into his plain eyes, not knowing whether to be happy or worried in his heart.I like his cleverness and quickness, but worry that he has to bear so many troubles when he is young.

"Father has been in power for more than ten years, and he has been promoted to the common people all over the world to live and work in peace and contentment. The emperor's brother is calm, wise, wise and decisive, and can push the Tianbi Dynasty to the peak of the prosperous age. The ambition of the son is just to be a wealthy and idle king." Ruyu, soft and elegant like a spring breeze, the 13-year-old boy already understands what his future path is, what he wants, and is working hard in that direction.

Reading a lot of books and history books is not to show the truth on the bright side, as long as one understands in one's heart and positions one's position well, the rest is just empty talk, staring at Daiyu with her eyes wide open. Dependent and gentle, he said with a soft smile: "The emperor treats his son very well, but his son never wants to worry his father, queen and queen." No matter how good a brother is, it is still the difference between a monarch and his ministers, and no matter how deep affection and trust are, they can't stop the rumors in the world Gossip speaks provocatively.He didn't want Shui Rong and Dai Yu to worry about their brother's discord in the future, so he would rather choose mediocrity when he was young.

Daiyu stared at him quietly for a long time, unfolded the snow wave paper in her hand and pressed it with a paperweight, handed the grinding and dipping pen to his hand, and said lightly: "Write some words and let mother see." Shui Chenhuan knew that Daiyu What Yu meant, she pursed her lips with a smile and stepped forward to pick up the wolf hair and swipe down.

It took about half a stick of incense to write some handwriting on it. Daiyu held up the paper and blew the wet ink on it. The outside is warm and smooth, and the twists and turns of the characters are round and powerful. Although the bones are not strong enough now, but it is indeed rare at your age, and it is quite similar to Yan Lugong's style of fonts, very good!"

Shui Rong took it and looked at it carefully, there was admiration in his eyes, he was silent for a moment, and said: "Don't give up on yourself, be normal, Daddy likes it very much!" Daiyu stared at him silently for a long time, then turned around and went to the bookshelf and took out the copybook casually. The note was also inserted into it, handed it to his hand, and said: "This is the authentic copybook of Yan Lugong, mother will entrust it to you for collection and copying. Remember what you said, and know the path you chose. But, remember not to confuse the direction of your life, and never give up on yourself, understand?" Shui Chenhuan couldn't help but stepped forward to take it in his hand, and smiled to the end: "Yes, my son, thank you mother. "

Shui Rong clasped his hands and leaned on the back of the chair, looked at Daiyu and Shui Chenhuan with a slight smile, and said, "Actually, the life you mentioned is the life that parents want to live the most, but we have been fighting for a long time all our lives. I am planning, but it is difficult to realize the four words of enjoying life."

"Father and mother are not so carefree now? What are you complaining about? My son also wants to go out and travel around the world freely, but the emperor said that I was entrusted by my parents to him, and he will protect me for life. You have to wait until you are 20 years old to travel." Shui Haoze has never doubted his brotherhood, and the road of life is rough and long, who knows what changes will happen in the future?But he didn't want to see their brothers turn against each other, and he didn't want to hurt his brother.

Seeing Shui Chenhuan's leaving figure, Daiyu sighed and leaned on Shui Rong, and said distressedly: "It's hard for him to have such opinions at such a young age, but that's fine, a peaceful life may be more suitable for him. I really don't know which girl will fall into his eyes in the future." Shui Rong didn't have much worry about Shui Chenhuan, he knew the temperament of Shui Haoze and Shui Chenhuan, they were both smart children, Shui Chen Shui Haoze may not be unaware of Huan's behavior like this.

Looking thoughtfully at Daiyu's furrowed brows for a long while, Shui Rong reached out to rub her brows away, clasped her waist tightly with his big hands and made her face him, Daiyu looked at him suspiciously, and asked with a frown: "What's the matter?" Shui Rongzai carefully examined her expression, and said, "Dai'er obviously remembers us, but she just wants to say that she doesn't remember us."

Daiyu frowned more and more, held his cheek and said: "What are you talking about, if I remember why I don't know?" Shui Rong grabbed her little hand and put it on his lips and kissed it softly, : "You still don't remember, but you have never forgotten us in your subconscious, right?" The phoenix eyes are as bright as pearls, and Daiyu stares down into his eyes and thinks carefully.

"Dai'er, you don't have the slightest obstacle in accepting my children, and you even know their temperament and preferences very clearly. Dai'er, you say you don't remember us, I don't believe it!" The soft touch of the slender waist made Shui Rong hug her even tighter He is very familiar with such a familiar feeling, and Daiyu is also very familiar, she remembers everything but doesn't remember everything!

Daiyu stared blankly at him, subconsciously closed her eyes when her red lips were attacked, and it took a long time to realize that she covered her mouth and said angrily, "I'm thinking about what Rongying is doing to make trouble?" Shui Rong covered up his smile Seriously: "Is it too late for you to react now?"

Daiyu is very familiar with this Mingde Palace. It seems that Shui Rong or her figure can be seen everywhere on the tables, chairs and beds. Such a familiar place makes her eager to pick up more familiar things. s things.Those things belonged to her in the first place, and now she wants to bring them all back, the only thing missing is a coherent rope.

The cool wind blows in, Daiyu leans on the beauty and admires the weeping willow Yiyi, the water is full of waves, the fan in her hand flutters gently up and down, the pendant worn by Jasper hangs coolly on her hand, Daiyu But he let out a dull breath.After living in Mingde Palace for half a month, I still haven't thought of the slightest bit.

"Concubine Xianhe, Concubine Shunming, Concubine Shunming, Concubine Muyi, I want to come up to pay my respects to the Queen Mother!" Xiao Shun'er bowed to Daiyu, and when Daiyu lazily turned around, she saw three people standing under the steps. A beauty in palace attire, like Chunshan's black eyebrows, frowned, and said lightly: "The sun is too hot outside, let them come in, don't get caught in the heat!"

"The concubine respectfully invites the queen mother to be blessed and safe." Qiqi's voice was pleasant, and Daiyu asked them to stand up, and said with a faint smile, "If you don't feel bored, you can sit here and cool off." Daiyu's thoughts have not yet been sorted out. Sure enough, his eyes quickly turned to look at the weeping willows that were green and green, and he brushed away the pearls on his forehead with a bit of boredom.

Princess Zhongshun, who entered the palace the day before yesterday, was astonished at the fact that she had lost her memory. With the familiarity between them, Shangguan Yunlan opened her mouth and said, "The Supreme Emperor, Shangrui, Prince Meizhuang, and Princess Meizhuang are so important to my sister, how can my sister leave so easily?" Forgot about them?" Daiyu said nothing, the guilt on her face became more serious, yes, how could she forget them so completely for someone so important to her?

She had never been so eager to remember the past when she was playing in the south of the Yangtze River, but now that she returned to the palace, the familiar feeling wrapped around her heart like a silk thread, making her feel bored and out of breath.Those flashing fragments made her fidget like a cat's paw, eager to remember everything.

"Is there any trouble for the queen mother? If there is a concubine, I would like to do my best to relieve the mother's worries." The concubine Mu who spoke was a woman from Jiangnan. She turned around and said with a faint smile: "Nothing!" Looking sideways at the three of them, she said, "If you have nothing to do, go back to the palace to escape the summer heat. Don't suffer from heatstroke in such a hot day."

"Mother's Queen." Shui Haoze's clear voice came from under the pavilion, Daiyu's Karasuma-like eyes lightly glanced at the fleeting joy on the faces of the three of them, and a cold and helpless smile overflowed from the corners of their lips.The harem has never been a peaceful place, no matter how virtuous people come here, they will do everything they can to compete for favor, but the feeling of being used by others is really uncomfortable.

Seeing the three people kneeling on the ground to say hello, Shui Haoze frowned unconsciously, waved his hand lightly and said, "The queen mother always likes to be clean. If you have nothing to do, don't bother her. Go down first." When the concubine was lost, she walked up to Daiyu, bowed and said: "My son respectfully invites the queen mother to be safe."

Daiyu raised her head and stared at the three who were reluctant to leave with her clear eyes, then turned her head and knocked the round fan on his forehead, and said calmly: "It's okay, why do you come back with so many wives?" Shui Haoze took the fan from Daiyu's hand Smiling and fanning her, he said with a smile: "It can't be counted as the mother's daughter-in-law. It's just a painting of beauties placed in the palace. Now those courtiers are still dissatisfied with the desolation of the harem, so they must send a few more paintings of beauties. Hang on, since it's their kindness, it's not easy for me to turn it down, isn't it?"

"Take your daughter to stabilize the nepotism?" The coldness on Daiyu's lips became more and more intense. What she hated most was such actions, and her daughter's life's best years were all thrown away in this game with no chance of winning. .As long as it is not a faint king who values ​​beauty and sex over power, he will not take these so-called nepotism into account when handling government affairs.

"The empress is a well-educated and intelligent person, and she is thoughtful and will not be easily deceived by others. What the ministers value is her wisdom and calmness. Only she is the empress's daughter-in-law." His thoughts are actually very simple. Those who are willing to send their daughters to the harem don't hesitate to send them, he will not be stingy with their grades, but they should not ask him to treat them equally, the queen is his real wife, the daughter-in-law recognized by Daiyu.

Daiyu brushed the hair from his forehead, this water-like face had the same coldness and wisdom as Shui Rong, but he was more cold-hearted and cold-faced than Shui Rong.Because he has no one to tie him down, and he doesn't want to find anyone to tie him down. What he wants is the grand plan of the Tianbi Dynasty. To him, women, except for his wife, the rest of the characters are simply unattractive.

Daiyu understands this kind of thoughts but she doesn't know what to say. Although she likes to be apart and not to get together, she only likes to be together with Shui Rong and refuses to be separated for the rest of her life. This love is as heavy as the sea and cannot be integrated with Shui Haoze's thoughts .Although, he will be a wise and calm monarch!

"Mother suddenly discovered that your father's eyes are really sharp." Daiyu suddenly sighed and laughed. Shui Haoze's temperament was evaluated by Shui Rong before, and it is not bad at all from what he sees now. Shui Haoze Supporting Daiyu's arm, she stood up and asked, "How does the father evaluate the child?"

"Your father's evaluation is that if your arms are idle, you might as well plant trees." Shui Haoze hurriedly avoided the sudden palm wind, jumped to the edge of the pavilion, and saw that Daiyu was already in his arms. Shui Rong in his arms touched his nose and smiled, "Didn't Father go to find Uncle Zhongshun? Why did you come back so soon?"

Shui Rong didn't raise his eyebrows, but just looked down at Daiyu, couldn't hide the joy on his face, and said: "Just now I received a letter from Beishu Kingdom, our Qingwan gave birth to Lin'er." Daiyu said pleasantly: "This is true. What?" Shui Rong said with a smile: "Of course it's true, can such a thing be fake?"

Daiyu couldn't help but picked up the round fan in her hand and walked towards the steps, saying as she walked, "This is a great happy event. We want to give something to the newborn baby. There is a year-round fan in Beishu Kingdom." It's freezing cold." Shui Haoze looked thoughtfully at the figure that disappeared behind the shadow of the flower, that shadowy figure was extraordinarily pretty, looked sideways at Shui Rong and said, "It's not that mother doesn't remember at all. "

Shui Rong nodded, with distress and pity in his eyes, he said softly: "These days, it is because of these things that she has not completely forgotten, which tortured her. Now the good news of your sister can make her forget these troubles for a while. .”

"Qing Wan and Chen Huan are both my minister's siblings, but now Chen Huan's condition and behavior are a little heartbreaking." He was still a child in front of Shui Rong, so there was no need to hide the helplessness and pain in his heart, Shui Rong looked at him sideways and smiled. , said: "Father knows that Chen Huan's thoughts can't be hidden from you." After taking a breath, the words that came out were cold and ruthless, and said indifferently: "As an emperor, you should feel that the heights are too cold. This is yours." mission your responsibility."

"Actually, I know that people's hearts are always selfish. Even though the child's heart is as balanced as before, he still can't guarantee the long-term trust and unshakability." This is the weakness of human beings, and he understands it very thoroughly.

Shui Rong patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly: "As an emperor, you still have a lot to learn. Daddy appreciates your intelligence and calmness. But Chen Huan's intelligence lies in his recognition of his position. He doesn't want to embarrass you. Because in his heart, your brother has always been above everything else." Shui Haoze nodded, he naturally knew Shui Chenhuan's heart and temperament, and he had special sympathy for this younger brother since he was a child.

"I want to pray to my father, Chen Huan's marriage is up to him to decide." Shui Chenhuan's calm and gentle personality, I really don't know which woman in the world can get this blessing, chuckled and said: " When he is 20 years old, Erchen will let him go out of Beijing to travel the mountains and rivers, if he can find a girl who truly agrees with him, it will be regarded as Erchen's compensation for him." He was not lucky enough to get Daiyu, and if he said in his heart It is absolutely impossible to be lonely, but his regrets will be pinned on Shui Chenhuan, and he will only be the emperor of the Tianbi Dynasty.

Daiyu who hurried back to Mingde Palace accidentally knocked the picture scroll in the celadon urn to the ground, and the picture scroll that was let go suddenly caught her eyes, and the gentle woman with low eyebrows covered her swollen abdomen with her slender hands. The hibiscus blossoms are dazzling.Daiyu suddenly felt sore and throbbing in her chest. She squatted down and looked at the picture scroll quietly. The messy and extravagant thoughts and pictures piled up one after another, making her mind blank and the scenery in front of her eyes gradually blurred.

Raising his sleeves, he wiped away the tears on his face fiercely, waved his hand to let the frightened maid back out, and frantically pulled out all the scrolls from the celadon urn.The unfurled picture scrolls come with mixed memories, like a messy scroll, with no clues to sort out, but those fragments keep flashing in my mind.

The yellowed scroll was opened, and Daiyu's hand was loose when she saw the pattern painted on it, and the scroll fell to the ground immediately.The woman sitting in the red tent with the phoenix crown and the xiapei had her melancholy eyebrows slightly furrowed, her downcast eyes and long eyelashes covered her panic, only the tightly twisted embroidered handkerchief revealed that she was a newlywed tension and fear.

This painting is extremely expressive and the deep thought on the face is not bad at all, Daiyu suddenly fell to her knees on the ground and tears fell like broken beads, wet the face of the woman on the picture scroll.Seeing the smeared ink, Daiyu panicked and wanted to wipe it off, but the tears fell more and more urgently, and the rubbing got worse, she couldn't help hugging the scroll and crying bitterly.

This painting is like a rope that connects all the fragments in her mind. The lonely and helpless first time married to the Beijing Palace, the turmoil of taking concubines, the tender and lingering sex, the thorns and twists and turns of helping each other in the same boat, and ascending to the emperor together. Looking down on the honor of the high position, the liver and intestines of the poisoned Li Palace are broken.Princess Beijing, Shui Rong, Shui Danyang, Ye Zhilan, Xin Moyu, Hao Ze, Qing Wan, Chen Huan, Ye Jun, everyone's faces burst into their hearts.

Daiyu knelt on the ground crying and tidied up the scrolls scattered on the ground. She tidied up slowly as if she was sorting out messy memories and straightening them out. When she heard the sound of chaotic footsteps, Daiyu turned around with tears in her eyes. head over.Seeing Shui Rong's anxious face, Daiyu stood up and threw herself into his arms, sobbing so hard that she couldn't speak, she said to let Shui Rong wait for her, but she completely forgot about him.

For three years, she lived without pain, but he had to face the bits and pieces of their past life every day and night, how did he survive the pain of not being able to see each other? ?After looking for her, she didn't remember him at all, but he just said that as long as she lived, she owed him so much, "Rong Ying, yes, I'm sorry!" Hugging his waist tightly, she buried her unstoppable tears in his arms, soaking through his clothes.
