The Rongjudai of the Red Chamber

The banquet in the palace was over, Daiyu bid farewell to the queen mother and queen, then walked out of the Chengde Hall, stood in front of the hall, looked at the white snow outside, a faint smile appeared on Daiyu's pink lips, and gently stood on tiptoe Tiptoe, looking in the direction where Shui Rong should be coming, but only seeing the eunuchs and maids passing by, feeling a little disappointed in his heart.

Thinking that Shui Rong hadn't come out yet, Daiyu lightly carried the lotus steps down the steps, and walked slowly forward step by step, looking at the green pines and cypresses in the imperial garden in front of Chengde Hall, dotted with plum blossoms, branches swaying with the wind. With a slight movement in her heart, a playful smile on her delicate face ignited it, lightly stepping on the white snow, stepping on the soft white snow mischievously, and slowly walked into the plum blossom bushes.

Trees and plum blossoms are blooming one after another, snowflakes are pressing on the branches, and the red plums are even more crystal clear. A surge of pride that cannot be overwhelmed by the wind and snow fills the world, making Daiyu's heart bright and clear. , tugged at the plum blossom branches, and the white petals fell down one after another, inadvertently splashing a little on Daiyu's neck, making Daiyu shrink back her neck, but there was a sweet smile on her face , like a plum forest fairy wandering in the sea of ​​flowers, through the delicate face of the flowers and branches, she is so beautiful and dazzling, and her red palace dress is even more beautifully decorated with Daiyu, which stunned the maids and maids who followed her.

Holding the white plum that fell just now, she walked out of the plum grove, and was about to walk towards the gate of the palace. Looking back inadvertently, she saw Concubine Yuan, dressed in imperial concubine formal attire, leading eunuchs and palace maids striding over, causing Daiyu to frown slightly , didn't want to pay attention to Concubine Yuan, and was about to turn around and leave when she heard Concubine Yuan's laughing voice: "Sister Lin."

Daiyu had no choice but to stand and turn around slowly, looking at the approaching Concubine Yuan with clear eyes, the nuns and maids beside her also knelt down to salute Concubine Yuan, Concubine Yuan smiled and asked them to stand up, and stepped forward to pull Daiyu hand, politely said: "What is my sister doing here? I haven't seen my sister go to Fengzao Palace for a while these days. It just so happened that I saw my sister alone today. It can be seen that it is also fate. Go back to the palace and rest for a while, so that our sisters can have a good time with each other." As he said, he was about to take Daiyu's arm and go to Fengzao Palace.

However, Daiyu gently broke free from Concubine Yuan's arm, looked at Concubine Yuan with clear eyes, thinking about Concubine Yuan's purpose in her heart, although she was not very clear, she guessed about eight or nine points, and said with a calm smile: "Thank you Concubine Yuan Your Majesty is kind, but now that the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager are about to leave the palace and go back to the mansion, they can't accompany your Majesty, so please, Daiyu is going to leave." Then she wanted to leave.

Concubine Yuan blocked Daiyu's way, took Daiyu's little hand and said with a smile: "Could it be that my sister looks down on Fengzao Palace of my palace? I only see my sister and the empress dowager together on weekdays, but I forgot everyone Sisters love each other deeply, how can I not make Bengong sad?" He took out a brocade handkerchief to wipe away the tears, and the little tears fell down, which was very touching.

Daiyu was a little displeased with Concubine Yuan blocking her way, "Sisters love each other deeply" thanks to them being able to say it, since entering Jia's mansion, Concubine Yuan was no longer at home, and they only met two or three times, why is the sisters' love so deep? These words made Daiyu understand the purpose of Concubine Yuan even more.

Smiling lightly, staring at Concubine Yuan, seeing Concubine Yuan's heart felt weak, she smiled and said: "Originally, the banquet is over, and everyone has returned to the palace to rest for some reason, but I have some expectations in my heart. Looking forward, I went to this imperial garden for a walk. Who would have thought that the hope in my heart was fulfilled, and I saw my sister. Is it an old relationship? My sister’s grandmother misses her very much. Today she entered the palace and saw her sister’s beauty. After all, she felt a little relieved, but she was still a little lost in her heart. I only hope that my sister can understand her difficulties. How, she is my sister's maternal grandmother, how can my sister just let it go?" At the end of the speech, there was a bit of aggression.

Seeing that Daiyu was speechless, she said again: "Although my younger sister is now the Princess of Beijing, she is also the younger sister who was raised in our mansion. How can my younger sister be so ungrateful? It makes the world laugh at my younger sister." The enamel nails seem to have passed over the exquisite embroidery on the edge of the brocade robe, carefully observing Daiyu's reaction.

Seeing Concubine Yuan's still dignified expression, Daiyu smiled coldly, feeling a little angry in her heart, with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes, and said coldly: "Concubine Yuan's words are wrong, but since Concubine Yuan is interested First, this princess is not the younger sister of the concubine Yuan. Even in Jia's mansion, the only one who can be regarded as relatives with Daiyu is the old lady Jia. Firstly, Concubine Yuan is just her cousin in name. Second, Concubine Yuan has already married as a woman, so Concubine Yuan should call her Princess Beijing instead of a younger sister. Is there no courtesy?"

Ignoring Concubine Yuan's ashen complexion, Daiyu said again: "Furthermore, Mrs. Jia has a whole family of filial sons and grandchildren, so there is no need for Daiyu, a granddaughter from outside, to show her filial piety. Besides, the old lady has already made it clear that the relationship between each other I don't know what the Yuan Concubine empress is trying to do to stop you today?"

The cold and charming face stared at Concubine Yuan, and said: "Although my concubine has lived in the mansion for many years, she has never used a single iota of your mansion, let alone her family affection? Amidst the rumors and rumors, who will come forward to save Daiyu?" Clear? As evidence for Daiyu? Just let the rumors hurt Daiyu invisible, no matter how much love you have, it will be transformed into the wind knife and frost sword of rumors." There is a trace of loneliness on the delicate face, But she didn't want to feel strange in front of Concubine Yuan, her bright eyes were still indifferent, and her words were even more decisive, so Concubine Yuan didn't know what to do for a while.

After a long while, concubine Yuan did not give up her thoughts after suppressing the anger in her heart, and said: "Even so, the princess and this palace are also sister-in-law relatives. Do you refuse?" Since the years of friendship in Jia's mansion could not impress Daiyu, he could only persuade Daiyu slowly, so he still persevered in wanting Daiyu to accompany her back to Fengzao Palace.

Daiyu smiled coldly, seeing Concubine Yuan's unwillingness to give up, she sighed in her heart, but she didn't want to pay attention to Concubine Yuan anymore, but Nanny Li who was standing by said: "Concubine Yuan, you must speak with discretion, and you must speak properly with Concubine Yuan." Concubine Beijing has a sister-in-law who is related to the empress, although the concubine Yuan is the most expensive concubine, she is a noble concubine in the court, but she can't be above the empress, does the concubine Yuan understand?"

Concubine Yuan's face turned pale immediately, she was in a hurry and spoke urgently, she couldn't help feeling a little regretful in her heart, she smiled and said: "Don't blame me, it's because I was in a moment of impatience, and I wanted to be able to talk about myself with the princess, Madam Forgive me." Li Nanny was speechless and retreated behind Daiyu.

Concubine Yuan was flustered for a while, and she didn't know what to say to Daiyu. Daiyu looked at Concubine Yuan's anxious face and said, "My concubine and concubine Yuan have no personal words to say. Farewell." A trace of calculations, layers of stratagems peeled off, made Daiyu's heart feel even more chilled, and her noble and refined demeanor was condensed between her brows, exuding an unmatched noble and elegant demeanor.

Looking at Daiyu's haughty and noble face, Concubine Yuan was a little stunned, but she didn't dare to look at her for a while, and some anger rose in her heart, she looked at Daiyu and said coldly: "Since Wangfei said so, then I have nothing to say. It can be said that I only hope that in the future the princess will not regret what she said today." Since Daiyu can't be said, she has to think of another way, but the sinister look is exactly the same as that of Mrs. Wang.

Daiyu looked at Concubine Yuan's expression, a little ferocious, a little vicious, her heart trembled, but she still smiled and said: "This princess has no relationship with the noble family, nor has the slightest relationship with the concubine Yuan. The concubine is a noble concubine, so she should set an example for the people in the world, don't do things that I regret for the rest of my life, since the concubine is fine, I will take a step first."

He turned around and was about to leave, but saw Shui Rong and Shui Chen standing at the side. He didn't know how long he had been standing there. There was no expression of joy or anger on Shui Rong's handsome and calm face, but Shui Chen's eyes flickered a little. Looking thoughtfully at Concubine Yuan and Daiyu.

When Concubine Yuan saw Shui Chen, she hurriedly restrained her eyes, stepped forward and knelt down and said, "I have seen the Emperor, I have seen the Prince of Beijing." She was even more panicked, how much did they hear what she said just now?Or any ideas?

Shui Rong stared at Concubine Yuan's terrified expression with somewhat cold and angry eyes, smiled suddenly, and said, "Concubine Yuan has finished talking? If it's over, please Concubine Yuan don't block the way."

Concubine Yuan's face paled when she said a word, and they all heard what she said just now, so what should I do?But Shui Chen looked at Daiyu's charming and beautiful face, and said with a smile: "Concubine Yuan is just talking to Princess Wang, you don't need to do that, since there is nothing wrong, Brother Wang can go back with Princess Wang. "

Shui Rong looked at Shui Chen with a smile that was not a smile, but he was also indifferent and speechless, holding Daiyu's little hand, and said: "In that case, the younger brother and his wife will leave first." There was a little bit of cold anger in the deep eyes, A little bit of anger in my heart condensed into ice.

Looking at Shui Rong and Daiyu's disappearing path, Concubine Yuan's heart was still trembling, she raised her head to look at Shui Chen's calm expression, and said, "Your Majesty..." Shui Chen looked back, suppressing his feelings for Concubine Yuan. Disgusted, she smiled and said: "My concubine, please get up, go back to the palace to rest." Then she turned around and left, the stupid woman actually brought this matter closer and closer to a desperate situation for the sake of her own selfish desires. If there is no place to use her, she will definitely be thrown into limbo.

Concubine Yuan saw that Shui Chen had no expression of blaming her, she felt relieved, but she felt a little resentful towards Daiyu, she thought to herself, turned around and walked towards Fengzao Palace with the hand holding the qin.
