The Rongjudai of the Red Chamber

The sky is full of clear lotus, and the sky seems to be contaminated with the fragrance of green lotus, and even the scorching sun in summer has dissipated a lot with this faint fragrance. The birthday of the queen in the palace is located in the queen of the main palace. The people, even the concubines in the harem, all flattered and sent congratulatory gifts, and even the empress dowager ordered a good life to congratulate the empress.

When I got up early this morning, the palace was full of hustle and bustle, and all the concubines in the court brought their young ladies into the palace to pay their respects. Daiyu got up early and came to the palace with Shui Rong. When she learned that the queen was paying her respects in the empress dowager's palace, she went to the palace. That is to say, in the queen mother's palace.

Looking at the queen mother and the bright yellow queen sitting on it, Daiyu was about to go forward to salute, but she was stopped by the queen, she got up and walked to Daiyu's side, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law Beijing, don't be so polite. Why do the flesh and blood of our family have to use these common rituals? Besides, you are pregnant now, so you should be more careful." As he said this, he wanted to personally support Daiyu and walk to the Empress Dowager.

The Empress Dowager held Daiyu's little hand and said with a smile: "Good boy, what your sister-in-law said is very true. Now you have two bodies. You have to be careful when giving birth. You can give birth to a healthy baby in the future."

Daiyu's pretty face was a little red, and seeing the empress dowager's concerned face, she smiled and said, "Thank you, mother, empress and sister-in-law." The queen mother sat down while supporting Daiyu's little hand, and said with a smile, "Is there anything uncomfortable now? If so If I don’t understand anything, I often come to the palace to ask your sister-in-law, after all, she is the mother of two children.”

The queen also smiled and said: "That's not it. If there is anything you don't understand, just ask. If I know it, I will definitely tell you." Daiyu agreed with a smile.

At that moment, the main nuns in the palace came in and said: "The Empress Dowager, the Empress, Princess Zhongshun, Princess Nan'an, Princess Xiding, Princess Dongping, and the imperial orders from all the mansions are waiting in the Palace of Compassion. Congratulations on the birthday of the Empress. I respectfully invite the Empress to move away."

The queen mother glanced at the queen, and said with a smile: "Today is a good day for you, go back to the palace quickly, and it will not be too late to come back later, there is no need to stick to any etiquette today, you should relax for a day." The queen listened She agreed with a smile, and left with all the maids in the palace, and went straight to Kunning Palace.

Seeing the queen walking away, the queen mother took Daiyu's little hand and said: "The day before yesterday, someone went to the mansion to disturb you again?" Daiyu heard it with a smile, and said: "Someone came to disturb you, but, It didn't hinder Daiyu at all."

The queen mother nodded, her eyes were a little cold, and she said: "The Ai family knew that they would not stop, it's just such a shameless thing, thanks to them doing it, that Jia family really can't stay, really Do you think everyone in the world is plotting against her?" Daiyu sighed softly, but she was speechless.

"As a member of the royal family, if there is no conclusive evidence, Prince Zhongshun's mansion really can't be moved. Now Huang'er and Rong'er are waiting for the opportunity to come, but this Princess Zhongshun is too arrogant, and you have been wronged." He patted Daiyu's slender hand affectionately, feeling a little guilty in his heart.

Daiyu smiled lightly, and said: "Don't be so empress, Daiyu doesn't feel wronged. After all, she never bothered Daiyu. Although Daiyu is a girl, she understands the matter between the emperor and the prince."

The queen mother sighed softly: "Yes, what Huang'er and Rong'er were waiting for was also this opportunity, but now Huang'er still has some suspicions about Rong'er in his heart, this alone makes the Ai family feel really worried." Chen's fear of Shui Rong is better now. After all, Shui Rong doesn't pay much attention to the affairs of the court, and he doesn't have the slightest ambition. Besides, Shui Rong and Shui Rong are brothers, and they still have some feelings in them.

Daiyu looked at the worried look on the Empress Dowager's face, and her heart tightened. Because of her motherly love, she smiled and said, "Don't worry, Empress Mother. If you want to come to the prince's thoughts, one day the Emperor will understand." The Empress Dowager listened She nodded and said with a smile: "Now that you are with Rong'er, the Ai family feels much more relieved, not to mention that you are pregnant now, no matter what, the Ai family will never allow anyone to bully you, Zhongshun The matter of Wangfei and Xianya County Lord is left to the Ai family, and this matter will be completely resolved by today."

There was a banquet in the palace and the Hall of Celebrations. The Empress Dowager took her seat with the hands of the Empress and Daiyu, and all the people below saluted and sat down. Suddenly, the sound of silk, bamboo, and Qiang was heard, and the hall was surrounded by jewels and emeralds.

Princess Nan'an stepped forward and said with a smile: "My concubine congratulates the queen on her birthday, and wishes her a thousand years of happiness and health." The queen accepted a glass of wine from Princess Nan'an with a smile, and said with a smile: "My palace is very grateful to Princess Nan'an." Princess Nan'an bowed slightly, turned around and looked at Daiyu with a smile, then turned and returned to her seat.

Princess Dongping looked at Daiyu sitting at the top, smiled slightly, looked at Princess Nanan beside her and said with a smile: "I heard that Princess Nanan and Princess Beijing have a very good relationship on weekdays, why don't you see you sitting together today?" What? Let Princess Nan'an sit here alone?" A slight smile rose from the corner of her mouth, and a strange look appeared in her eyes.

Princess Nan'an smiled faintly, looked at Princess Dongping's meaningful gaze, and said, "Princess Beijing is already of high status, besides, she is pregnant now, so the Empress Dowager doesn't need us to talk too much when she loves her." One sentence interrupted the rest of Princess Dongping's words, and even turned around to joke with others, ignoring the words and phrases of Princess Dongping who feared that the world would not be chaotic.

'Friendship between gentlemen is as light as water', the sister-in-law relationship between her and Daiyu will definitely not be unhappy at all because of such a small provocation, looking at Princess Zhongshun not far away, Princess Nan'an just nodded Smile and ignore it.

Princess Zhongshun snorted coldly, but she was even more annoyed in her heart. Princess Nan'an and Princess Beijing had a good relationship, and everyone in the court knew about it, but they didn't expect that even a little bit of provocation would not be able to get in, let alone other major events , I'm afraid there is no chance.

The queen mother looked at Princess Zhongshun's expression lightly, and said with a smile: "Today, on the queen's birthday, the Ai family also has a happy event to announce." Hearing the queen mother's words, everyone also fell silent, obeying the queen mother's orders.

The Empress Dowager looked at Chen Yali who was sitting beside Madam Dingnan Hou, beckoned Chen Yali to come forward and smiled and said, "How about you look at this elegant?" Everyone didn't understand what the Empress Dowager meant, so they hurriedly laughed and said: "Xianya County Jun is naturally excellent, although he is not as good as the Empress and Princess Beijing, but he is also an extremely rare person in the court."

The Empress Dowager nodded, looked at Madam Dingnan Hou and said with a smile: "That's right, as everyone said, the Ai family also thinks that Xian Ya is an excellent girl, but it's a pity that there is no match for the Ai family."

Chen Yali's eyes lit up when she heard this, could it be, could it be that the Empress Dowager really took a fancy to her, so she hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down and said, "Empress Dowager, Xianya is willing to serve the Empress Dowager forever, no matter what her status is, Xianya must have no complaints I just hope that I can serve the Empress Dowager for a long time." The little hope in her eyes became more and more intense, which made Madam Dingnanhou even more anxious, and Princess Zhongshun looked at Chen Yali angrily, feeling anxious in her heart. I don't understand what the Queen Mother means.

The Empress Dowager smiled and said: "Xianya doesn't care, but Aijia doesn't want to part with it. How can you hide your appearance?" The cold phoenix eyes were fixed on the look of hope on Chen Yali's face, but a coldness flashed across the corner of her mouth .

Chen Yali thought that she could really make the Queen Mother look up to her, so she hurriedly said: "Xianya doesn't think her status is not enough, I just hope that the Queen Mother can let Xianya stay with the Queen Mother." She looked at Daiyu with a slightly smug face, and the corners of her eyes were even more smug. It was a happy smile that succeeded, Daiyu's clear eyes were as clear as water, but she was speechless when she looked at Chen Yali, and on top of Ruyu's delicate face, there was also a light smile that didn't care.

Seeing that the queen mother remained silent for a long time, the queen smiled and said, "I don't know what the queen mother's happy event is?" The queen mother smiled more kindly, and said, "Isn't the Ai family's happy event just because someone came to ask for this elegant? The Ai family was about to talk about it with Xianya Listen, the imperial decree of marriage has been issued, taking advantage of the queen's birthday today, isn't it just a matter of happiness?"

The empress looked at Chen Yali's ecstatic face with smiling eyes, and said, "I don't know which family's son the empress is looking for, but he can match up with our Xianya county lord?"

The queen mother smiled lightly and said: "It's not someone else, but Princess Huacheng's son Ding Yu." When the queen mother said this, the whole hall was shocked, and Chen Yali couldn't believe what she heard, and her heart was full of shock.

Daiyu also looked at the Queen Mother in a little surprise, seeing the condensed look on the back of the Queen Mother, she just smiled lightly, Chen Yali's matter was entirely her own fault, she had no one to blame, a person who plotted and framed herself in every possible way, If there is any soft-heartedness, it is true that there is no distinction between good and evil.

Princess Zhongshun was even more astonished. Princess Huacheng was originally born of an unfavored maidservant. If the late emperor hadn't found a family for her, I'm afraid that Princess Huacheng would have nowhere to go, not to mention her status. What's more, the son of Princess Huacheng is a demented child with a cruel and ruthless temperament. He has married two wives and concubines before, but none of them can live a good life for a year. Although he died of a serious disease, who in the court I don't know, is it because Mr. Dingyu is too cruel?Therefore, all the ladies in the boudoir avoid the Huacheng princess like a snake and scorpion, for fear that the Huacheng princess will be finished if she begs the queen mother.

Originally thought that the Queen Mother must be proposing marriage for Shui Rong, but who would have thought that it was for Princess Huacheng's son, how could Chen Yali not be shocked?Hastily opened the mouth and said: "Queen, this, this." The queen mother smiled and said: "What is this? Isn't Xianya too happy? This Princess Huacheng is considered to be a member of the royal family. Wouldn't the son who married him be able to serve in Ai's house? By your side?"

Princess Zhongshun and Mrs. Dingnanhou were even more surprised, they hurried forward, and were about to say something, but they were stopped by the Queen Mother, who said coldly: "Princess Zhongshun, Mrs. Hou, are you two satisfied with the marriage that Ai's family refers to? "Princess Zhongshun and Mrs. Dingnanhou's expressions froze immediately, but they abruptly retracted the words they were about to say. Now is not the time to openly contradict the Queen Mother. If you don't say anything, Chen Yali will marry Princess Huacheng There is no doubt that his son is like abandoning a girl, but it is of no use at all, and he can't help but blame Chen Yali very much.

The Empress Dowager looked at their silent faces coldly, and said: "What? Princess Zhongshun and Madam Hou actually look down on the marriage that the Ai family arranged for Xianya?" Princess Zhongshun complained even more in her heart. It was Mrs. Ding Nanhou who stepped forward and said: "How dare I, my concubine, I thank the Queen Mother for your kindness, and I will naturally obey." She couldn't refuse, but she had to agree, but she was itching with hatred.

The queen mother nodded in satisfaction, looked at Chen Yali's ashen face, and smiled coldly: "In this case, the Ai family invited Princess Huacheng to discuss the marriage. Dingyu has always been a bit unwise since childhood. I will ask Xianya to take care of you."

When Chen Yali heard this, she slumped on the ground, her face was extremely unwilling, and she said in a daze, "Why? Why is it him?" She couldn't help but regret her bravado that day, and even secretly hated her.

The Empress Dowager looked at Chen Yali's unwilling face, then at the faces of Princess Zhongshun and Marquis Dingnan Tie Qing, and then said with a smile: "This matter is decided in this way, the Ai family will tell the emperor, and the decree will be delivered, Xianya Go back to your seat and sit down." He ordered the two maids to help Chen Yali sit back beside Mrs. Dingnanhou, and ordered the banquet to continue.

The more Chen Yali thought about it, the more unwilling she felt. Seeing everyone's mocking expressions, she became even more angry, so she stood up and said, "Empress Dowager, although she is elegant and not talented, she must not marry Mr. Dingyu."

The Queen Mother sneered and said: "Oh? Then Xianya, who else do you want to marry? As a boudoir woman, she doesn't abide by the boudoir rules, she is full of ignorance of etiquette, and she talks about talented women. It's really a slap in the face. The son of Princess Huacheng also Even if you are a relative of the royal family, your status as a county monarch will not be lowered if you marry, if you say anything else, the Ai family will definitely not forgive you lightly."

Princess Zhongshun and Mrs. Dingnanhou hurriedly dragged Chen Yali to sit down, not allowing Chen Yali to speak again. Chen Yali was full of grievances and anger and couldn't vent her anger. She looked at the queen mother with cold eyes, but she didn't dare to speak again.

The queen smiled and said: "Isn't this a great joyous event? It's understandable that Xianya couldn't accept it for a while. After all, a lady in the boudoir is also a little shy for a while. The queen mother doesn't have to be angry. If she gets angry, wouldn't she be angry?" Make Xianya feel bad?"

Everyone below naturally understood Xian Ya's temperament in Su Ri, understood her thoughts, and naturally understood what the Empress Dowager meant, so they also agreed: "What the Empress Dowager said is very true, the empress dowager's marriage is really a match made in heaven, Thinking about it, Mr. Xianya County is really grateful to the Queen Mother, as long as you pass the door in the next day, everything will be fine."

The Queen Mother nodded after hearing this, looked at Chen Yali coldly, and said with a smile: "The marriage in this world is truly indescribable, just like Rong'er and Yu'er in that day, isn't it the fate established in the previous life? Knowing the emperor's will, but not knowing, when the late emperor was alive that day, there was already an imperial edict to refer to marriage, but the order was not announced, and Yu'er was waiting for Yu'er to grow up, who would have thought that Rong'er would ask for it again? To get a share, isn't it the same time that the will of two generations of emperors was issued at the same time, isn't this fate?"

When the Empress Dowager said this, the entire hall was shocked, and the Empress was also a little surprised. It took a long time before she smiled and said: "That's not true, this is indeed the fate of Prince Beijing and his sister-in-law, and unexpectedly got the Emperor and the sister-in-law. The emperor's imperial decree referring to marriage."

My heart was relieved. Since it was the emperor's will, there was no intention of Shui Rong to connect with the four major families. After hearing this, Shui Chen would definitely be able to let go of some suspicions about Shui Rong. After all, the current imperial court Dangerous, Shui Rong's talent, if he can join forces with Shui Chen, Shui Chen's chances of winning will be even greater. What the queen doesn't know is that Shui Rong has never given up on protecting Shui Chen and the royal family. I just don't understand it now.

The queen took Daiyu's hand with a smile on her face and said, "It's also fitting that we are sisters-in-law. Even the emperor made a decree to grant marriage. The decree of the two dynasties should also let those who spread rumors People have calmed down a bit." Looking at Chen Yali's unbelievable appearance, the queen was really bored with Chen Yali.

Princess Nan'an looked at Daiyu with a slight smile and felt relieved. Daiyu hadn't entered Jia's house when the late emperor was alive, and those so-called words were nothing but fabricated by them.

Everyone in the palace looked at Princess Zhongshun's and Chen Yali's ever-changing expressions, and also secretly laughed. They heard them talk about how Daiyu was in Jia's house on weekdays, but now it seems that they just can't achieve their goals It's nothing more than slanderous words, since Daiyu and Shui Rong's marriage was the order of the former emperor, it must have been put on the jade plate, how could there be such a thing as they said?More or less, after hearing what the Jia family had done, they naturally understood better. When the limelight turned, they actually pushed Zhongshun Prince's Mansion and Dingnanhou's Mansion into the forefront of public opinion.

Daiyu's face was slightly red, but she just smiled and said nothing, the queen mother took Daiyu's little hand, and said with a smile: "I am very happy to have you two daughters-in-law by my side in this life, it is really a gift from God , the real smart and beautiful people are not like the false names piled up by others. What the Ai family dislikes the most are those who tell stories and gossip. If there are any words in the future, the Ai family will definitely investigate After the investigation, no matter who it is, the Ai family will punish them severely." Yin Yin swept towards Chen Yali fiercely, making Chen Yali shiver shiveringly.

The people below hurriedly laughed and said: "The Empress Dowager is sage, Princess Beijing was given the will of the late emperor, so naturally I dare not treat anyone so shamelessly as nothing." The Empress Dowager nodded in satisfaction, and said with a smile: "That's all, today The happy event is really enough for all of us to have a drink together, and it can be regarded as congratulations to Mr. Xianya County, after all, Aijia will not have a chance to drink at the wedding in the future." Hearing this, everyone hurriedly picked up the wine glasses in their hands and drank together , the banquet was still going on, but Princess Zhongshun and Princess Zhongshun forced smiles and fidgeted, the anger in their hearts became stronger, and they looked at Chen Yali with condemning eyes.
