Dream of the Red Chamber: Rong Dai

The silver moon of Mid-Autumn Festival seems to be a disc hanging in the sky, and the bright light covers the brilliance of the entire starry sky.

"Hey, babble, babble!" Unconsciously shaking the small rattle in his hand, the soft thumping sound softened Daiyu's pretty face.

Bending down to pick up the little man and leaning against her bosom, Daiyu smiled softly and said, "Be good, baby! Mother is here to watch over you."

Seemingly understanding Daiyu's words, the little man seemed to have a small smile across his mouth, and with a grunt he fell asleep in Daiyu's arms.

Shui Wanyu's hand itched while watching, took Daiyu's hand, and said: "Sister-in-law." Feeling that the voice was too loud, she hurriedly lowered her voice, watching the little doll with pink make-up and jade swallowing her saliva, In a low voice: "Good sister-in-law, give me a hug for the little baby too. Since he was born until now, I, an aunt, haven't hugged him yet."

After talking about it, he couldn't help being a little dissatisfied, and glared at Concubine Bei Jing who was talking with the Queen Mother.Thanks to Concubine Beijing, apart from putting it next to Shui Rong Daiyu at night, during the rest of the time, Concubine Beijing would not allow her, an aunt, to hug her for a while, saying that she might break the little baby, especially her little one. A kind of ignorant character.

Daiyu looked at Wanyu in astonishment, and said in surprise, "You haven't hugged the baby yet?" Now that the baby is full moon, how could Wanyu have not hugged him all the time in the Beijing Palace?

Shui Wanyu looked at Concubine Bei Jing angrily and said, "Don't tell me sister-in-law still doesn't understand? Isn't it because of the old woman in the mansion?"

Daiyu looked in the direction of her finger, and it happened that Concubine Beijing also looked over, smiled lovingly at Daiyu and the little baby, but glared at Shui Wanyu.

Daiyu smiled back at her, turned around, the corners of her lips were already covered with a smile, she lowered her eyebrows to look at the little baby, shook her lightly, and said, "Little baby, let aunt hug you Okay? Come on, Mother will give you a hug from Auntie."

As he spoke, he gently moved the little doll in his arms to Shui Wanyu's arms, and the little doll really slept soundly, grunting in Shui Wanyu's arms, and then fell asleep in the little wool cap with a tiger head. past.

Shui Wanyu was so happy that she smiled, hugged the little baby tightly with both hands, and shook gently: "Little baby, I am my aunt. My aunt has wanted to hug you since you were born, but let your unreasonable grandmother The blunt barrier really makes people very angry and stuffy."

Daiyu looked at Shui Wanyu and the little person in her arms with a smile, and was about to say something when she smelled a faint fragrance of peach blossoms, turned around, stood up and said with a smile, "Sister Sang, why are you here?" gone?"

Sang Qingyan caressed her protruding belly with one hand, and handed a brocade box to Daiyu herself with the other, and said with a smile: "This box of rouge is when the peach blossoms are in full bloom in spring, and the rain picks up the pinkest flower pollen and adds red It is made of blue flowers. Now that my sister has given birth, I have never said anything, so this box of rouge can be regarded as my congratulations to my sister."

"Peach Blossoms with Flour. Sister and Sister Ranyu have a heart. Since it is my sister's kindness, Daiyu is very grateful." Daiyu smiled lightly, and reached out to take the rouge.

"Yu'er." The Concubine Bei Jing, who did not know when she walked over from the Queen Mother, called Daiyu.

Daiyu turned around and said with a smile, "Mother Concubine."

Concubine Bei Jing stepped forward and looked at Sang Qingyan and said with a smile: "The empress dowager is watching the fun your sisters are talking about, let me watch and join in the fun." She took the two embroidered handkerchiefs on the tray behind her, and said with a smile "These two embroidered handkerchiefs are made of high-quality ice cream. The empress dowager said, seeing you little sisters are really happy, so she ordered me to take them off, one for each."

Daiyu looked at Sang Qingyan and said with a smile: "Since it was the Empress Dowager last time, the ethics say that the elder sister should take it first, please."

Sang Qingyan glanced at Concubine Beijing and Daiyu, smiled faintly, and casually took a pair of purple-red chrysanthemum embroidered handkerchiefs from the tray, and said with a quiet smile, "I really like this purple chrysanthemum, it's not interesting .”

Daiyu smiled faintly, took the embroidered handkerchief embroidered with light green pink lotus on the other side, without saying a word, took the peach blossom rouge handed over by Sang Qingyanfu, the light powder box was lined with pink green ice silk embroidered handkerchief Like a pink lotus lightly standing on the surface of a clear water lake, she smiled and said, "Thank you, sister."

Seeing Daiyu's embroidered handkerchief taking advantage of the rouge box, Sang Qingyan's eyes flashed an inaudible anger, but in the blink of an eye she smiled and said: "Since my sister likes it, it's not in vain to waste Ranyu's thoughts." After speaking, he led Ran Yu to the seat next to the queen mother.

At this time, there is a Mid-Autumn Festival feast, and all the wives and ladies in the families of important ministers in the court are in the palace.Seeing the intimacy between Sang Qingyan and Daiyu, she felt jealous secretly.

Thinking that since Shui Han ascended the throne, although he has never established a queen, none of the old people in the prince's mansion had a title, but everyone called Sang Qingyan his wife, and the rest of the people were even more embarrassed. .Considering that the emperor is young and promising but has never been crowned queen, he naturally has some thoughts in it.

"The emperor is here." The eunuch's high-pitched voice came into the hall, and everyone in office stood up and knelt down.

Shui Han strode into the hall and saw Daiyu holding the child, she hurriedly stepped forward to give her a little support, and said, "Yun Dai is my imperial sister, so there is no need to be polite."

Daiyu looked up at Shuihan lightly, and said: "The etiquette of a monarch and his ministers cannot be discarded. Although the emperor is Yun Dai's elder brother, Yun Dai should also strictly observe the etiquette between the monarch and his ministers." Shui Rong was originally on Shui Han's side , then walked to Daiyu's side, supported Daiyu to stand up, and said with a smile: "Since it is the emperor's grace, our husband and wife thank the emperor."

Shui Han only smiled when she heard this, and ordered the maids who followed beside her to help Sang Qingyan get up, walked to the Empress Dowager and the Supreme Emperor, bowed slightly and said: "I have seen the imperial grandmother, I have seen the father."

The queen mother looked at Shui Han, and said with a smile: "Forget it, why are you so reckless now that you are the king of a country? Could it be that this Mid-Autumn Festival, you let the palace full of noble ladies kneel on the ground to welcome the full moon Heng'e?"

Turning around and looking at the people kneeling on the ground, Shui Han seemed to be aware of it just now, and said kindly: "It's my negligence, please stand up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The ladies who got up were fiddling with the jingle bells on their dresses one by one. The sound of Qingyue jingle bells seemed to fill the entire hall, and the strong scent of sweet-scented osmanthus that occasionally wafted was more like a fairyland on earth.

Shui Han looked at each other carelessly, only looked at the child in Shui Rong's arms, smiled at the Queen Mother and the Supreme Emperor, and said, "I don't know if Grandma and Father ever named the little prince in the Beijing Palace?"

little prince?Daiyu and Shui Rong looked at each other, and raised their eyes to look at Shui Han, who was gentle and smiling. The creases between his brows were like spring daisies in distant mountains, with a hint of dew and thin anger.

Shui Han looked at Shui Rong and said with a smile: "The hereditary position of the Beijing Palace is an irreplaceable iron hat. The eldest son of the Beijing Palace is naturally the hereditary person of the Beijing Palace, and now I will make him the Prince of Maojing. "

The hereditary inheritance has always been a level of conquest, and now the Beijing Palace has not been attacked, and Shui Han has even conferred the title of Prince Maojing on a little baby who has not yet reached a hundred days. Some of the hidden thoughts were also distributed to Shui Rong and Daiyu.

Shui Rong stepped forward steadily, looked at Shui Han with cold eyes, and said: "Please take back your order. My son has not yet reached a hundred days, and he dare not accept such a reward from the emperor for nothing."

Shui Han looked at Shui Rong's indifferent eyes, then looked at Dai Yu's sullen face again, then laughed and said: "I have already said before, your Beijing Palace and the Celestial Dynasty have made great achievements in battle, and you have a great relationship with our royal family. A big favor. Not to mention."

He raised his eyes to look at Daiyu and said with a smile: "Princess Yundai is my imperial sister, the eldest princess of the Celestial Dynasty. Is it okay for your child to be named a prince? You have to be important, just treat it as my nephew." The joy of the full moon."

The Queen Mother saw that Shui Rong Daiyu was still going forward, so she smiled and said: "It's a good choice for Aijia to look at the emperor, and it also includes Aijia and the Supreme Emperor giving your child a name." Daiyu raised her eyes in surprise , After seeing the Queen Mother, I was puzzled.

"'Yu Mo Naide, Jia Nai Pi Ji'. Therefore, the Supreme Emperor and the Ai family gave your child a name list."

Daiyu looked at the queen mother and said nothing for a long time. When the little baby was full moon, the queen mother said that she would put his son aside and mention it later. She didn't want to mention it in the hall here, and quoted "Da Yu Mo", which was taken from The interception of the conversation between Emperor Shun and Dayu kept Daiyu from feeling uneasy.

Shui Han clapped her hands and laughed: "Naturally, it's the great brains of grandmother and father, I really feel ashamed of myself. Shui Mao, what a good name, what does Prince Beijing and Princess Beijing think?"

Shui Rong held Daiyu's little hand and said indifferently: "Thank you, the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, for rewarding the child's name, and the minister received the decree." Then he said: "I also ask the emperor to take back the decree just now."

Shui Han shook his head, and said: "I will definitely not take back the decree I have made. Besides, Lord Maojing is the title of Shui Mao. In the future, I will wait for Shui Mao to come and tell me in person when he grows up." After talking, he smiled and sat down beside the queen mother and the emperor.

Seeing the appearance of the three saints, everyone immediately turned into flattery, and the whole hall was full of praise.

Daiyu frowned and looked at Sang Qingyan, who was thinking about something with her downcast eyes, and looked at Shui Rong again, only to see Shui Rong's mouth moved slightly, but it was to make Daiyu calm down, so she smiled lightly and said "In that case, thank you, Your Majesty, for your virtue." As he spoke, he took Daiyu's small hand and returned to the seat just now and sat down.

Sang Qingyan held the blue-glazed blue-and-white porcelain cup tightly, smiled faintly, raised her face with a nonchalant smile, and looked at the people all over the hall who were staring at different people, then she stood up and said with a smile: "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. , The joy of Prince Beijing’s mansion is truly a blessing on top of happiness, double happiness. So, on behalf of everyone in the harem, I congratulate the Prince of Beijing and his wife.” He picked up his glass and drank it down in one gulp.

Shui Han stepped forward to hold her wrist, looked at the bottomed wine glass, and said, "You are pregnant now, how can you drink?"

Sang Qingyan looked back and smiled lightly, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern. All I drink is chrysanthemum tea, and it won't hurt my body."

Shui Han nodded after hearing this, and helped Sang Qingyan walk to the Empress Dowager's table, and said softly: "We are all the same family, you sit next to grandmother and emperor father." Sang Qingyan Seemingly a little dazed, he came back to his senses, and there was already an irresistible smile on his face, so he concealed tears, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Shui Rong held Daiyu's little hand tightly, looked at the powder box and rouge Daiyu put on the table casually, playfully played with the light green ice silk embroidered handkerchief, looked down at Daiyu with a faint smile, her gentle and pampering Daiyu's sullen smile dissipated instantly.

Holding the little Shuimao in Shui Wanyu's hand, Daiyu said in a low voice: "Little baby, you are no longer able to resist being called Shuimao. If you are dissatisfied in the future, it is not your mother's fault." Oh my fault."

Shui Rong's big hands gently wrapped around Daiyu's slender waist, looked down at the sleeping little Shuimao, then looked at Daiyu's pretty cheeks, and said softly: "Dai'er, don't worry, our little Shuimao I can’t say I like this name so much.”

Daiyu raised her eyes and gave him a sideways glance, she hugged Xiao Shuimao and turned away to ignore Shui Rong, but Shui Rong looked at him in awe and could not laugh.

"Prince Beijing, Concubine Beijing Congratulations, congratulations." Before she could finish speaking, she had already turned into the voice of a squirmy little girl, and the delicate appearance of gently rubbing the hem of her skirt added a little girlishness.

Daiyu looked up curiously, with a small smile hidden in her eyes, she saw that the girl was dressed in pink, with a necklace made of pink pearls hanging on her neck, the round pearls glowed, Reflecting her pink and tender pretty face, it is even more beautiful and lovely.

Shui Rong tried his best not to tie his thick sword-shaped eyebrows into a bow, glanced at the woman lightly, lowered his eyes and held Daiyu's little hand, and let Daiyu hold the wine glass high in her little hand, saying: "Thank you."

Although the words were polite, I was really impatient in my heart. Whose girl is so impolite, and also lacks restraint and elegance, and I feel more and more bored to deal with it.

The petite woman seemed to be at a loss. Seeing the faint tears rolling in Shui Rong's indifferent eyes, Daiyu let go of Shui Rong's hand, stood up holding Shui Mao, and said with a smile: "Excuse me for my blindness, who is the unknown girl?" Who's Miss Qianjin?"

The girl's bright eyes dimmed in an instant, and the faint moaning voice was indescribable. After a while, she seemed to have made up her mind, and Daiyu frowned puzzled at that pale face.

"I, I am Yu Ru'er, the daughter of a Hanlin University scholar."

"Ru'er?" Daiyu chewed on the name carefully, it didn't make sense, this girl was a bit kind to Daiyu at the first sight, so she said with a smile: "Thank you, Miss Ru'er, for your kindness."

That Yu Ru'er didn't seem to expect that Daiyu would be so polite to each other, so she blushed and took two steps back. Behind the proud girl.

Daiyu watched all this quietly, with an indifferent smile on the corner of her lips, wise and intelligent, making Shui Rong beside her look more and more pampered, gently holding Daiyu's tender little hand, with an almost inaudible faint smile on her face. The smile ripples on the corner of the lips.

"What did Princess Bei Jing say to you?" The slightly domineering voice destroyed what should have been a soft voice.

"I didn't say anything, just asked me which family I belong to." The dexterous voice was that of Yu Ru'er just now.

Halfway through the banquet, watching Shui Mao fall asleep, Shui Rong handed him over to Concubine Bei Jing, and took Daiyu to the imperial garden to enjoy the moon.

Unexpectedly, when I arrived at the gazebo, my interest was interrupted without saying a word. When I heard the conversation between the two, I immediately raised my eyebrows, hugged Daiyu's slender waist, and hid in the cave of the rockery. middle.

What stepped on the soles of her feet was a soft fox fur blanket. Daiyu looked at Shui Rong suspiciously, but saw that Shui Rong had already sat cross-legged on the ground, sitting on his lap with her arms around Daiyu, and taking advantage of the moonlight in the gap between the stone caves, he The handsome face was split in two.The bright eyes are bright and brilliant, but the part where the dark shadows shine through is gloomy that Daiyu can't see.Before she could open her mouth, she felt her lips were covered by a pair of slender and powerful palms, successfully stopping Daiyu's words that she wanted to utter.

"What did you say?"

"I only said that my father was Yucheng."

"Hmph, you're still acquainted. I don't have the nerve to say that you are a concubine from the Hanlin University Scholars' Mansion, otherwise our family's face will be completely lost by you."

Only the rustling of the bamboo grove could be heard outside, and the woman seemed to have paused, and her words became more and more mean, "You are just the bastard born to a singer that my father snatched from outside, if you listen to me, maybe you That singer-born mother still has a foothold in the Yu family."

After being silent for a long time, Daiyu looked at the tightly clenched hands of the woman in pink under the moonlight, frowned slightly, looked at the water-soluble face, and smiled lightly, nestling in his arms quietly.

"You two are very interested." The woman's voice that suddenly joined in made Daiyu's eyes turn cold.

Under the bright moonlight, there is nothing to hide from people, and the appearance and shape of people in the future will be reflected very clearly.At this time, Daiyu would rather not have been to this place, never met these people, let alone heard the conversation between them.

"I've seen Madam." The woman in pink bowed first.

The woman in blue looked at her contemptuously, and said with a smile: "I have seen the empress."

Sang Qingyan smiled at the corner of her mouth, as if she was satisfied with the woman in blue's words, but in an instant she said angrily: "Mana is really true, there are many eyes and ears in this deep palace. What about the empress, the emperor has not yet formally It's a decree."

Nayu Mejiao smiled and said: "It's not that the minister's words are wrong. Who doesn't know that the empress is the emperor's married wife, and now she is pregnant with the emperor's flesh and blood, and she must be the future prince. Without a formal decree, how could it be possible for a branch to fall into another family?"

"Let's get down to business." Looking at the silent bamboo forest all around, she could only hear her whisper softly: "Did you see Prince Beijing today?"

When the woman in blue heard these words, she seemed to be a bit of a little girl, and said in a low voice: "I see."

Sang Qingyan nodded, looked at the woman in pink who had been hanging her head down, and said indifferently: "Although you are the concubine daughter of the Yu family, I will point your sister to Prince Beijing in the coming day, and I will also pass it on to you by the way." You pointed out that Prince Beijing is the side princess, which is considered to be all of your thoughts."

That Yu Ru'er only lowered her head, quietly looking at the light reflected by the pearls under the moonlight, as if a clear spring in her eyes quietly dissipated in the silvery afterglow.

That Yu Meijiao looked at Yu Ru'er who had her head down and sneered disapprovingly, then she looked down at Sang Qingyan and said, "The peach blossom rouge really complements her."

Sang Qingyan only smiled, looked at the two of them and said: "The night is already deep, the two girls should take care of themselves and go back earlier."

The woman in pink didn't look up from the beginning to the end, but the woman in blue walked in front of the woman in pink, Sang Qingyan looked at their backs as they left without saying a word for a long time.
