The Rongjudai of the Red Chamber

The summer lotus is fragrant, and there is a trace of lotus in the sultry south wind, which is quite refreshing. Daiyu, who is sitting in the Qinghe Pavilion with Shui Ye in her arms, points to the green lotus leaves with her slender fingers, and is teaching Shui Ye. yup what!

The soft and elegant voice made Shui Ye in her arms yawn a little, her heavy eyelids could hardly be opened, and she was about to fall asleep in Daiyu's arms. Daiyu heard Shui Ye's cry in her arms. The voice of exhortation, when he looked down, couldn't stop laughing, he tapped his forehead lightly, and said: "You, you can actually fall asleep!"

The doting tone made all the people serving in the pavilion burst into laughter, and Xue Yan even held back her smile and stepped forward to hug Shui Ye, saying: "Little Shizi is only a little older, and the princess just wants him to learn from that. Isn't it too hasty to write about the Four Books and Five Classics?"

Seeing Xueyan put Shui Ye in the cradle beside her, Daiyu lightly shook the fan in her hand, shook her head slightly, and said with a faint smile: "Xueyan's words are wrong. Although the child is small, it should be educated from an early age. Yes, if you understand a lot of truths, it will be better to learn from those dandies from rich and powerful families in the future!"

Thinking about the sons and grandchildren of the rich and powerful merchants that I have heard and seen in my daily life, could it be that they are dandies who are out of place, or that they are like Baoyu who adjusts rouge and gouache all day long, and the rouge and powder smell cover the original masculinity. Born in such a powerful family, it is natural to have a good upbringing from an early age!

Thinking of Baoyu, Daiyu's heart sank slightly. Although it was not her cousin, but after all these years of maintenance, his deep affection cannot be erased. I despise his behavior and disagree with him. The road of life, but it can't erase some of the maintenance feelings in the day!

That's all, that's all, gently stretching the creases between the eyebrows, looking at the seemingly endless jasper lotus borders with clear and beautiful eyes, sighing softly, the pink lotus flowers stand in the wind among the green lotus leaves, and the quiet lotus fragrance hits my heart, making me feel happy. Daiyu felt refreshed and comfortable for a while, and a trace of boredom and worry in her heart disappeared with the wind. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath!

The cool wind blows away the dullness of summer, the soft clothes dance with the wind, and the tulle outerwear blows up, fluttering like a fairy, spreading his hands to welcome the breeze of the clear lotus, like clouds above the bun, pearl hairpins Swaying, the pearl tassels jingle, fluttering like swallows in the wind!

Huang Yuan served ice-cold watermelon and plums, and said with a smile, "Princess, eat some of this to relieve the heat, it's so hot today!" Daiyu smiled slightly, picked up a small piece of watermelon, put it to her mouth, and took a bite The sweet and icy feeling made Daiyu shudder!

With a light hand, the iced watermelon he had bitten into disappeared. When he looked up, Shui Rong was already standing in front of him with a smile on his face. Daiyu smiled softly, patted her dress and got up, her delicate body was as if blown by the wind. Swaying pink lotus, the light and elegant unique fragrance overflows the Qinghe Pavilion, and suddenly the Nine Heavens Xuannv descends to the mortal world!

Pulling Daiyu to sit down, took a big bite of Daiyu's watermelon, and handed it back to Daiyu. Daiyu looked at the watermelon that was half missing, wrinkled her pretty nose, put it in Shui Rong's hand, and said: "Who I want your watermelon, I don’t want the rest of it, I want to get another piece!" The snow geese on the side had already hugged Shui Ye and retreated in a file when the water melted in!

Shui Rong handed a piece into Daiyu's hand, and said with a smile: "I took it from the lady's leftovers, why did the lady say it belonged to Xiao Wang?" Looking at Daiyu with smiling handsome eyes, he put his hands behind his head leisurely, Leaning against the railing, the smiling face is even more handsome and charming!

Daiyu glanced at him, but ignored him, took a small sip, picked up a brocade handkerchief to wipe off the watermelon juice from the corner of her mouth, pursed her lips and said with a smile, "My lord looks a bit like Ye'er now, really. It was carved out of the same mold, and even the eating habits are exactly the same!"

Hearing the ridicule in Daiyu's arms, Shui Rong smiled slightly, stretched out his hands and scratched under Daiyu's armpits, the itchy Daiyu couldn't help dodging, the watermelon in his hand was also thrown down, and begged for forgiveness with a smile : "Good Mu Han, please spare Dai'er, Dai'er will never dare again!" As she said, she bent down on Shui Rong with a smile, ouch!

Shui Rong smiled at Daiyu's rosy cheeks with a smile, gently stroked Daiyu's back, helped her to relax, and sighed: "That's all, seeing how pitiful you are, I will forgive you this time." Bar!"

Daiyu got angry and said with a smile: "You are such a bully, you actually bully a weak woman who has no power to restrain me!" , giggled coquettishly and said: "Isn't the lord like this like a child like Ye'er?" The laughter overflowed his lips, but he hurriedly dodged away!

Shui Rong stepped forward and grabbed Daiyu, said: "Okay, I can't stop it, see if I spared you this time?" He stretched out his hands, but Daiyu couldn't stop laughing and said: " Mu Han, you, you stop, or I'll be annoyed!" Putting down his face and ignoring Shui Rong, he couldn't help but still laughed!

Shui Rong hugged Daiyu and sat on the mattress on the railing, and said: "You can forgive me, just call me a good husband, and I will forgive you!" Daiyu glared at him, her face flushed, and said: "Hello No shame!"

Shui Rong picked up Daiyu's slender hand and put it on his lips, and said with a smile on his face: "We are husband and wife, what else is there to be ashamed of? Doesn't Miss Dai'er think it's not good to be a husband?" It was a little wet, but in the blink of an eye, she snuggled up to Daiyu's side with some grievances!

Daiyu looked at Shui Rong dumbfounded, his tall and strong body was almost twice her size, but she was born to be like a bird and buried her head in her arms, looking aggrieved, which made Daiyu burst out laughing. Patting Shui Rong's shoulder, he smiled and said, "Mu Han, hello," giggling coquettishly but couldn't stop it!

The pupils with teardrops from the smile became brighter and brighter like water, and the pupils of the eyes were rippling like blue spring water, the red lips were slightly pursed, and the smile stopped for the time being!

Shui Rong took the brocade handkerchief in Daiyu's hand, and gently wiped away the tears from her laughter. The gentle strength of his hand was afraid of hurting Daiyu's tender face. In the gentle eyes, there were countless affections, like the warmth of a spring day. The wind blows into my heart one by one, quietly blooming the fragrance and purple of flowers!

The rare summer drizzle is densely falling on the branches and leaves, embellishing a little bit of beauty, and the plantains outside the window are dripping raindrops, and the emerald green color is tender and pleasant!

The rain was pattering down endlessly, holding a glass wind lantern and holding up a lavender silk umbrella, Daiyu was on her toes, lightly lifted her skirt, walked slowly on the white jade corridor, and headed for the Empress Dowager's bedroom!

Arriving at the Empress Dowager's bedroom, the lights were brightly lit on all sides, but the hall was silent. She patted her skirt, handed the silk umbrella to the maid behind her, and went straight to the Empress Dowager's palace. Yuqiao smiled and stopped it!

Walking into the door of the Empress Dowager's bedroom, she could already hear the voice of Shui Ye's babbling and laughing. The Empress Dowager looked at Xiao Shui Ye who was stretching out her small hand towards the door in surprise, and when she turned around, she saw Daiyu's pretty face. Standing vigorously by the door, teasing Shui Ye!

Going forward to salute the queen mother, the queen mother pulled Daiyu to sit down, and said with a smile: "After all, you are blood and blood, and Ye'er can feel the arrival of mother at such an age, it is really a blood relationship!" Gently stroking Daiyu's rainy hair on the forehead, smiled slightly, and said, "Is the queen asleep?"

Daiyu hugged Shui Ye and snuggled into the Empress Dowager's arms, pursed her lips lightly, held the Empress Dowager's arm, and said with a smile: "Just now Yu'er stayed in the Queen's sister-in-law's palace for a while, and the Queen's sister-in-law has already fallen asleep. The prince's full moon palace banquet, the queen mother and the queen's sister-in-law are also exhausting, the mother should rest quickly, this kid Ye'er has only been more than four months old now, but he is getting more and more naughty, and the price is not worrying all day! "

Complaints that seem to be true and false, but it is the family happiness that cannot be concealed. She tapped Ai'er's small straight nose, but in exchange for Shui Ye's bright smile, Daiyu immediately smiled like a flower, holding Shui Ye in her arms On the lap, they kissed and fell in love with him, which made Shui Ye giggle endlessly!

Seeing the appearance of Daiyu and Shuiye, the queen mother smiled slightly, thumped her waist, and said with a smile: "Now it's really old bones. Those who had big banquets in the palace in those years are not as tired as today, and they should be I'm old, let you young people come to say hello, that's all, that's all, you two are very affectionate, Aijia is going to rest!"

After speaking, she stood up, Daiyu handed the water Ye to the hands of Nanny Li, helped the queen mother to go to the bed, helped the queen mother to lie down, and then said with a smile: "It's good for the mother to rest for a while, Yu'er and Ye I'm waiting for the prince to go back to the mansion together, and come to visit the queen mother when I have time!" The queen mother nodded with a smile!

Daiyu turned around and hugged Shui Ye in her arms, walked lightly together with Nanny Li to the hall outside the Palace of Compassion and Peace, sat on the warm couch, listening to the drizzle outside the window, waiting for the water to dissolve come!

But the maid standing outside the palace came forward and said, "Princess Beijing, Concubine Xi's close maid Hong Yan is waiting outside the palace. She said that Concubine Xi wants to invite Concubine Beijing to go to the palace together for a talk!"

Daiyu was slightly taken aback when she heard this, there was a moment of doubt on her delicate face, she handed Shui Ye over to Nanny Li, and walked outside the hall, the beauty hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to pay her respects, saying: "I have seen Princess Beijing Concubine Xi, I would like to invite the princess to the palace to have a talk!"

Daiyu looked at Hongyan, and said with a faint smile: "My concubine is a little tired today, but she has paid off the kindness of the concubine Xi, so you can go back!"

Hearing that Daiyu would not go, the concubine's face suddenly became anxious for a moment, and she hurriedly said: "Concubine Wu Guifei and Princess Zhongshun are waiting together at the Palace of Yanxi Palace, please respectfully invite the princess to come, we have important matters to discuss!"

After hearing this, Daiyu understood, Qingyuan and the others hurried forward, staring at Hongyan with intense gaze, the coldness on her face made Hongyan shiver uncontrollably!

Daiyu smiled coldly, pondered for a moment, looked at the falling rain, and occasionally a drop or two of cool and cool fell into her neck, which made Daiyu shiver shiveringly, watching kneeling on the ground secretly Looking at his own, he said in a low voice: "Since this is the case, the hospitality is hard to turn down, you go first, this princess tidies up a bit, and then I will go!"

The beauty was overjoyed when she heard that, she hurriedly bowed and kowtowed and said: "Your servant obeys!" Then she hurriedly got up, braving the drizzle and gradually disappeared into the dark night!

Su held her hair by the sideburns with her hands, but Qing Yuan beside her was full of anxiety, she stepped forward and said: "Princess, I don't know what they are worried about at this night, it is better for the concubine not to go!"

Daiyu looked back and smiled, seeing the concerned faces of Qing Yuan and the others, her heart warmed up, but she still smiled and said: "Qing Yuan, don't worry, I have my own opinion on this matter, and you are not allowed to tell Mu Han, since They are coming for me, so I must personally drag them out, it can be regarded as helping Mu Han, I have my own concerns, if you are not at ease, you can follow me!"

Huang Yuan pondered for a while, looked at Daiyu, raised her hand to stop Qing Yuan and the others, and said: "Since the princess said so, then let's stop talking, we have to protect the princess well and let it go!" The firm expression on Daiyu's face made Huang Yuan stop her words that could not be persuaded, and now she should serve Daiyu well!

Gently patted Huang Yuan's shoulder, Daiyu smiled slightly, stepped forward and said a few words to Huang Yuan in a low voice, Huang Yuan smiled and said: "Yes, the servant obeys, don't worry about the princess, this piece The matter is left to the servants!" Daiyu nodded slightly, got up and went into the house!

He hugged Shui Ye, handed him over to Madam Li, and said with a smile: "Mama, Ye'er will trouble you to take care of it for a while, if the prince comes, just say, yes, just say I'm going to the Palace of Yanxi Palace for a banquet Already!" Although Nanny Li was a little surprised, she still nodded her head and said with a smile, "Since this is the case, the concubine should be more careful, after all, in this deep palace, there are all kinds of eyes!"

Daiyu smiled lightly, and said, "Thank you Mammy, I'll be careful!" Then she turned around, took the three people who were stunned by herself and went with Huang Yuan, holding up the silk umbrella and gradually stepping into the rain. middle!

Looking at Daiyu's walking figure, Li Nanny gave detailed instructions to the maids beside her, and those maids followed Daiyu's figure away without making a sound!

Arriving at the Palace of Yanxi Palace, and walking into the palace, she smelled an extremely strong aroma of cosmetics, Daiyu frowned secretly, no wonder it was said that this imperial concubine Xixi loves rouge and pollen very much, and she was born with a beautiful and heavenly appearance, but I don't have too many twists and turns, but I can be regarded as an extremely rare straight-hearted person 1

Seeing Daiyu swaying in, everyone in the room had different expressions, but Concubine Xi stepped forward and sat down holding Daiyu's hand indifferently, saying: "Princess Beijing, you are here, no, we all I've been waiting here for a long time!"

Everyone saluted and sat down, Daiyu smiled and said, "I don't know it's so late, is there any important business for you?" Concubine Xi pushed Concubine Wu and Concubine Zhongshun, and said, "Didn't you say that you are going to invite Bei Jing?" Did the concubine come to talk about it? Why, why don't you talk now?"

Concubine Wu Guifei and Concubine Zhongshun had a slightly embarrassed look on their faces. Concubine Wu Guifei stood up and said with a smile: "Today is the little prince's full moon banquet, and everyone is tired enough, but I didn't have a decent gift here. I couldn't help feeling a little regretful in my heart, but coincidentally, I remembered a pair of embroidery that Princess Beijing presented to the Queen Mother Lafayette that day. Didn't this make me want to ask Princess Beijing for advice? Don't be offended, princess, please The princess is willing to teach me!"

There was a trace of hatred and indifference in the smiling face, Daiyu lightly brushed the tea in the cup, and said with a faint smile: "It's just some embroidery skills that can't be put on the table, but it makes you laugh I dare not say enlightenment, there is really nothing I can do, besides, it is too late today, if there is nothing to do, I will leave first, and we will talk about it in the next day!"

Her clear and elegant eyes are quietly staring at the expressions of Concubine Wu Gui and Princess Zhongshun, and there is a cold smile on the corner of her mouth, which is becoming more and more cold and elegant, so let's see how long they will hold on!

The corner of Concubine Wu Gui's mouth twitched, she suppressed the anger on her face, took Daiyu's hand, and said with a smile: "Look, we were careless, please, Princess Beijing, we don't often see it on weekdays. Seeing that I am here today, I have invited the princess to a table of wine, and the princess should appreciate her face!" As he spoke, he took Daiyu to the side hall of the imperial concubine Xi's palace, as if she was the master of the palace, but unexpectedly It is free to come and go!

Concubine Xi didn't take it seriously, she stepped forward and pulled Daiyu's sleeve and said, "What Concubine Wu said is very true, but today, while Princess Beijing is here, it's easy for the rest of us to have a good conversation." !"

Dai Yu lightly broke free from Concubine Wu's pull, and said with a smile: "In this case, it is better to be respectful than obey!" After looking at their faces, she walked into the side hall with Concubine Xi!

Shui Rong arrived at the Palace of Compassion and Peace and saw that only Nanny Li was holding Shui Ye, she couldn't help being startled, and said, "Madam Li, where is Dai'er?"

Nanny Li looked up and saw that it was Shui Rong, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "This old slave has seen Prince Beijing!"

Shui Rong waved his hands to stop, hugged Shui Ye, and said, "Where's Dai'er?"

After hearing this, Nanny Li said: "Go back to your lord, just now the noble concubine Xi of the Yanxi Palace invited the princess to go to the palace of the noble concubine Xi to have a talk, and the slaves have already sent people to follow, the lord, don't worry!"

When Shui Rong heard that Daiyu was going to Yanxi Palace, his heart tightened, he put Shui Ye into Nanny Li's arms, and quickly left the Palace of Compassion and Ning, his eyes were full of anxiety. As he went, he couldn't help being stunned, and when he came back to his senses, the figure of Shui Rong had disappeared 1

Nanny Li carried Shui Ye tremblingly to the side of the hall, looked at Xiao Luzi who was stunned at the side, and said, "Why don't you hurry up and send your master's umbrella and cloak? What are you doing here?" After hearing this, I hurriedly followed the direction where the water dissolves disappeared!

Hearing the Empress Dowager's laughter behind her, Mammy Li turned around, bowed to pay her respects and said, "Servant, I wish the Empress Dowager a blessing!" The Empress Dowager cheerfully took Xiao Shuiye from Mammy Li's arms, and said, "This When Rong'er met Yu'er, she couldn't control her feet anymore, and even her usual clever head couldn't use it anymore!"

Kissed the little grandson in her arms, but the loving smile on her face could not be suppressed, Daiyu also understood Shui Rong's feelings for her, if she was not very sure, how could she take risks and make Shui Rong worry?Their husband and wife are so in love with each other, they would never do such a thing!

Nanny Li smiled and said: "It is the old saint who actually understands so well. In fact, the Prince of Beijing also understands, but he is very worried about Princess Beijing. That's all. Let them take the queen mother's decree and disperse all the maids, eunuchs and guards around Yanxi Palace. It is expected that everything should be in order at this time. Moreover, although Princess Beijing is extremely smart and has perfect precautions, You just have to be careful!"

The queen mother nodded, and walked into the room with Shui Ye in her arms, with a bit of domineering arrogance on her noble face, she said: "This Concubine Wu, who claims to be smart, is an idiot who doesn't understand anything. The Marquis Mansion of Jinxiang is needed, and Chen'er has already let Chen'er abolish her, but now he dares to come up with such a vicious trick, how can the Ai family spare him?"

The Empress Dowager naturally knew about Daiyu, and Daiyu told herself that she had heard it before, thinking that taking advantage of the little prince's full moon banquet, it would be an excellent opportunity for them to act. Thinking of this, the Empress Dowager narrowed her eyes, thinking Concubine Wu Gui, Concubine Zhongshun and the two lowly maidservants who came up with ideas, the anger in their hearts was rising even more!

Shui Rong walked quickly towards Yanxi Palace, when he passed the imperial garden, he suddenly saw a black shadow flickering in front of him, he hurriedly stepped forward, and after seeing Huang Yuan in the imperial garden, he said urgently: "Wangfei Woolen cloth?"

Hearing Shui Rong's voice, Huang Yuan hurriedly turned around and knelt down and said, "Princess Wang is chatting with Empress Xi in Yanxi Palace!" Shui Rong looked at Huang Yuan with sharp eyes, but turned around and left quickly, really worried about Daiyu in her heart!

Walking to the gate of Yanxi Palace, although she was extremely surprised not to see a maid here, she didn't care about it, and walked towards Yanxi Palace without stopping, but stopped abruptly by the door, looking at her in a pale state. The purple thin shirt flutters like a banished fairy Daiyu, holding a silk umbrella, playing with the raindrops falling from the silk umbrella with slender white hands, playful and cute!

Shui Rong's eye sockets were moist immediately, Fei stepped forward and hugged Daiyu tightly in his arms, so frightened that the silk umbrella in Daiyu's hand fell to the ground, caressing Shui Rong's slightly cool face, said: "Mu Han!"

Raindrops fell on Daiyu's body bit by bit, Shui Rong was startled, took off his outer shirt, put it on Daiyu, picked her up and went straight to the Palace of Compassion and Ning!

Back at the Palace of Compassion and Ning, the four people who finished their work have already returned, and they are kneeling in the outer hall of the Palace of Compassion and Peace waiting for Shui Rong and Daiyu. A cold little face.

Seeing that Shui Rong's face was ashen after changing his clothes, Daiyu stuck out her tongue quietly, and those who were kneeling on the ground were also silent. Son, the Ai family let Yu'er go to this matter, and Huang Yuan and the others are naturally protecting Yu'er, why are you angry?"

Shui Rong snorted coldly, but didn't pay attention to the Queen Mother, who touched her nose, hugged Shui Ye and went in again: "Forget it, forget it, it's useless for the mother of the Ai family now, let's go in first!" The cheerful laughter made Daiyu purse her lips into a smile, but when she saw Shui Rong's livid face, she put away her smile, looked at Shui Rong, but pouted her lips, and turned her back to ignore Shui Rong!
