Dream of the Red Chamber: Rong Dai
Chapter 125
"The great river goes east, the waves wash away, and there are eternal romantic figures. On the west side of the old base, the human way is that of the Three Kingdoms Zhou Lang Chibi. The rocks collapsed and the clouds crashed, the stormy waves hit the shore, and thousands of piles of snow were rolled up. The mountains and rivers are picturesque. How many heroes at a time... "
The slightly immature boy's voice made Daiyu who was sitting by the window smile, turned around and glanced at Chunxian who was standing beside her, and smiled again: "It's Chunxian again, you take Maoer to the study to make trouble." There are so many books that have not been dug out, but this collection of poems has been dug up. It's a bit funny to read Nian Nujiao with her immature voice.
Chunxian gently fanned Daiyu, looked at Shui Mao who was sticking out her tongue and made a face, and said with a light smile: "It's not that the princess has a lot of books, it's because we are going to flip through the books."
Daiyu put down the sour plum in her hand, frowned and swallowed the sweet and sour flesh in her mouth, and said: "You went to look through the book, but I was the one who came to compile it." She beckoned for Shui Mao who was behind the desk to come to her, and rubbed her face. Rubbing his hair, said: "Mao'er be honest, do you want to go to the study to look through the books again?"
Shui Mao stood in front of Daiyu with a small body, with a little smile in his eyes, and said: "Mother is rich in education, and your child will naturally not be left behind. Mother hides so many books from the children to read. , who else will see it?"
"Little slicker." Daiyu spat lightly, seeing him pretending to be calm was really annoyed and amused.
Seeing Daiyu's half-smile and reproach, Shui Mao lowered his head, stuck out his tongue, coquettishly smiled in Daiyu's arms, and said, "The homework assigned by the Taifu is too simple, and you can almost remember it after reading it. Besides, my mother I have taught children before, which is much better than that taught by the grand master."
Daiyu rubbed Shui Mao's forehead, and said helplessly: "What did you do in the palace today?" Shui Mao shrugged and protested, "I didn't do anything." He secretly tore it up, but he took the five little princesses to catch crickets, and he was completely defeated in the cricket fight with the eldest son of Nan'an Palace.
Daiyu has always been aware of Shui Mao's temperament, and at this time he didn't say anything at all, and then said: "Forget it, I know you are restless." She said seriously: "In the palace, there are children older than you, and you still have children. There are five little princesses, you should also restrain yourself, don't go too far, when the time comes, your emperor's uncle won't be able to say anything."
Seeing Daiyu's solemn face, Shui Mao nodded and said, "My child, remember your mother's teachings."
Daiyu caressed his forehead, nodded with a smile, looked at Chunxian, lowered her head and said: "If you have free time in the future, mother will give you the key to the study, and if you want to read, you can read it. Aunt Chunxian went together and secretly took out a copy."
The family precepts of the Shui family only require future generations to uphold integrity and nature, and the requirements for other books are not too strict. On the contrary, they are encouraged to read as many books as possible, and the more they read, the more they can understand some things.
Hearing what Daiyu said, Chunxian nodded Shuimao's forehead and said: "In the future, the little prince can go by himself, so as not to drag me into the water again, but let the princess blame me."
Shui Mao put his arms around Daiyu's neck and gave Chunxian a sideways look, and said, "Aunt Chunxian has been with my mother for so many years, how can I be willing to complain about my aunt?" He smiled a little smugly.
"The little prince must be by Wangfei's side while the prince is away, otherwise when the prince comes back, I can see that the little prince must have slipped out very quickly."
When Chun Xian pierced the little pride in his heart, Shui Mao immediately wrinkled his nose, looked up at Daiyu's funny face, and muttered: "Who makes my father jealous, I am not allowed to pester my mother every time. I don't want to Thinking, I was born in October of my mother's pregnancy, so I'm naturally closer than him."
Chunxian laughed so exaggeratedly that Shui Mao blushed immediately, and she gave Chunxian a look and said, "It's time for Aunt Chunxian to get married tomorrow, so you don't have to laugh at me all the time."
Daiyu hugged Shuimao amusedly, rubbed his neck, and said with a light smile, "Maoer is getting older, why is he still acting like a child?"
Shui Mao buried his head in Daiyu's arms and muttered, "My father pesters my mother every time and doesn't allow Maoer to come over. It's not fair to Maoer." Said: "It's better for mother to have a daughter, and then she will pester mother all the time, and see if the father will be overbearing and only allow him to pester mother alone."
"Ah." Shui Mao touched the bulging part of Daiyu's dress in surprise, and said with a smile: "Mother, mother, my sister heard what I said." He responded with more lively agitation, so he pressed his face On the belly, whispered: "Little sister, be good, little sister be good."
Daiyu looked at his grown-up face with amused expression, caressed Shui Mao's little face affectionately, and said with a smile: "Maoer likes my sister?"
Shui Mao raised a big smiling face, nodded fiercely and said: "If you give birth to a little sister who is exactly like your mother, then I will hug and play with the little sister every day, and keep her growing up safely, healthy and healthy." until old."
Daiyu smiled heartily, nodded his forehead, and said angrily, "Your sister hasn't been born yet, but you think so much."
Just now he finished speaking, he heard the voice of the maid outside asking for his peace, Shui Mao reluctantly got up from Daiyu's arms, saw Shui Rong who came in, bowed and said: "Maoer, father Wang An."
Shui Rong looked at Shui Mao and said, "What did Maoer learn today?"
Hearing that there seemed to be something wrong in Shui Rong's words, Shui Mao hung his head and stuck out his tongue, decided to answer obediently, and said: ""The Great Harmony of Rites and Fortunes".
He glanced at the water-melting expression, swallowed his saliva, and said: "The journey of the great way is also for the world to be public, to select the virtuous and capable, to preach trust and repair harmony. The old man is not alone in kissing his relatives, not only in his sons. So that old age will end, The strong are useful, the young are strong, the widows, the widows, the lonely, the disabled, and the sick all have something to support. Men have a share, women have a home, and the evil is thrown away on the ground, so there is no need to hide it, and the power is not from the body, there is no need For the sake of oneself, it is to seek closure and not to prosper, to steal and mess with thieves and not to do it. Therefore, it is said that the outside is not closed, which is called Datong.”
Shui Rong snorted, sat beside Daiyu and said, "It's as if you haven't completely forgotten the lesson of Confucius." Daiyu looked at Shui Rong in surprise, Shui Rong had never been so strict with Shui Mao, and could even be said to be extremely Chong Ni, why are the two of them uncharacteristically today, isn't it?Daiyu looked at Shuimao.
Shui Mao raised her eyes and took a sneak peek at Daiyu, screaming inwardly.Fu looked again at Shui Rong with a serious expression, then bowed and said: "The teachings of the saints, my child will definitely remember them in his heart."
Shui Rong nodded dispensably, and said: "Today you brought five little princesses in the imperial palace to catch crickets in the imperial garden, not only did you catch crickets, but you also brought the five little princesses and the eldest son of Nan'an Palace to come. Fighting, defeated his ever-victorious general completely. Made the young prince of Nan'an Palace lie on the ground and cry loudly, saying that you bullied him, right?"
Shui Mao pursed his lips and said, "He was just playing tricks, but he looks like a girl."
Shui Rong glanced at him, saw that he was really unconvinced, and pulled him to lean against him, saying: "Father and mother concubine know your temperament, and also know the temperament of the eldest son of Nan'an Palace. But you are too You have been naughty and unruly, and you have created a miasma in the palace. Your uncle always manipulates you, and the little princess hides it for you. Can you stop the people in the harem from talking and everyone in the front hall looking sideways?"
Hearing what Shui Rong said, Shui Mao was shocked immediately, and couldn't help the cold sweat on his forehead, so he knelt on the ground and said: "Your child is reckless, please punish me."
Daiyu didn't want Shui Mao to be so mischievous, so she also showed a little bit of sternness, and said: "Mao'er, you know your mistake, my parents are really pleased. But you are too naughty and mischievous, and you will eventually become a playboy if you continue like this. Those cricket fights must never happen again. For today’s incident, you will be fined to go to the study and copy the Li Yun Datong chapter a hundred times, and if you commit the crime again, you will copy all the books in the study once.”
Shui Mao kowtowed respectfully and said: "My child obeys orders and respects the teachings of parents."
Daiyu let out a breath, sighed softly, and with a gentle smile on her face, she pulled Shui Mao into her arms, and said softly: "Maoer must understand that you are still young, and many things are beyond your control. "He said calmly: "The eldest son of the Nan'an Palace looks like a dandy now, if you really think you have the ability to transcend others, then you can join him. black'."
Shui Mao buried his head in Daiyu's arms and murmured: "But the eldest son of Nan'an Palace is too incompetent, he will only bully a few younger ones in the upper study room, I can't stand it. Besides, today is just a day. After defeating the little princess, General Changsheng lay on the ground and cried, really humiliating the man."
Daiyu sneered, nodded and caressed Shuimao and said lightly: "He really lost face like that." Then he said: "It is the behavior of a man to be able to bend and stretch, and to endure a moment of calmness and self-cultivation. Looking back, those were just tricks, and when you grow up, you'll just laugh it off." Shui Mao nodded submissively.
Shui Rong patted Shui Mao on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Mao Er, go to the study first, and your parents will teach you your homework later." Shui Mao smiled at Dai Yu, a sly look flashed in his eyes, and he bowed When you salute, you want to go back to the house.
Shui Rong didn't miss the sly look on Shui Mao's face, remembering the scene when he entered the room and saw the mother and son relying on each other, then his face sank and he said: "In the future, if you have nothing to do, don't disturb your mother's rest."
Shui Mao curled his lips, and said: "I knew that the big vinegar bucket is under pressure." After saying that, he covered his mouth and snickered, and ran out of the back room, and quickly ran to the study with the little eunuch serving beside him.
Seeing Chunxian's snickering face, Daiyu's cheeks flushed suddenly, she looked at Shui Rong reproachfully, and said, "What did Brother Rong say? You made Maoer laugh."
Shui Rong hugged Daiyu and leaned in his arms, saying: "It's better to let him know, and save me from arguing with me all day long." He said bitterly: "It's all the emperor's fault, he always instigates Maoer to come here. Looking for you, I don't know what he's thinking about."
Shui Rong hugged Daiyu tightly with some taste, and said: "You are not allowed to use anything he asked Mao'er to bring back." His domineering tone did not allow Daiyu to refute.
Daiyu gently kissed the creases between his brows, and said lightly: "I don't care about his things."
Since Sang Qingyan was banned from the palace seven years ago, she has lost her mind about entering the palace.Following Shui Rong, she went to live in the south of the Yangtze River for two years, and when she returned to the capital, it was the Queen Mother's passing away, and since then, she has no desire to enter the palace anymore.
The Queen Mother and the Supreme Emperor passed away one after another, and the palace seemed to have long been a thing of the past in Daiyu's life.If Shui Han hadn't ordered Shui Mao to study in the palace three years ago, she would not want to mention the palace even now.
Shui Rong understood that what Cai just said must have touched Daiyu's mind, so he put his arms around her and leaned in his arms, and said, "Dai'er should be happy, I don't want our daughter to be born with a faint sadness on her brow."
Daiyu sneered and said, "How do you know it's a daughter?"
Shui Rong gently caressed Daiyu's belly with his big hands, kissed the corners of her curved lips, hummed in a half-truth, and said, "Your precious son is allowed to look forward to my sister, and I am not allowed to look forward to my daughter? I am I hope to have a daughter who is exactly like Dai'er, then I will give her all the treasures in the world."
Daiyu laughed softly, it seemed like clear blue water outside the window, and the pond was full of white lotus, she giggled and said, "It's lucky that brother Rong wants a daughter, but everyone outside really hopes that my baby will be a daughter."
Shui Rong tightened her brows, only held Daiyu's little hand in her arms, and said softly and softly, "It doesn't matter what their thoughts are, good or bad, I have nothing to do with it, my Dai'er is my Dai'er after all, Our sons and daughters are our treasures."
Daiyu straightened the hair behind him, and said softly, "I just hope that brother Rong and the children are all safe and sound."
Shui Rong looked down at Daiyu's calm face, and said, "If we want to be calm, let's do it. I just look at that child Mao'er, I'm afraid it won't be peaceful."
Daiyu rubbed the center of her brows, and said helplessly, "Mao'er has been very active since she was a child, and she surpasses everyone in riding and hunting. Now her literary talent in the study seems to be extraordinary."
After a pause, he said reluctantly: "I don't know why the emperor attaches so much importance to Mao'er? So many sons and daughters of princes and nobles are so partial, wouldn't it be people waiting to be caught?"
All she wants is for Shui Rong and her children to be safe, and Shui Han's move is tantamount to pushing the Shui family to the forefront.Thinking of this, Daiyu suddenly remembered Miaoyu's prophecy to Shuimao that day, she frowned, and felt more and more melancholy in her heart.
Shui Rong gathered Daiyu's thin cloak, smiled lightly and said, "If it really is Mao'er's life, I can't dodge it no matter what." Talking about him tentatively, it seems that the child really has a tendency to refuse to admit defeat in his heart, maybe we can't influence his thoughts."
Daiyu was stunned when she heard that, she hurriedly clutched the sleeve of her water-soluble shirt and said, "Brother Rong, what did you say? Maoer is only eight years old, you ask him, what did he say?"
Seeing her anxious appearance, Shui Rong sighed, and said with a smile, "Don't our own children not understand? Dai'er thinks what he will say?"
Daiyu let go of Shui Rong's sleeves dejectedly, but was held even tighter by Shui Rong, and said: "That bastard, if that's the case, then I'll give birth to a cute baby girl and ignore him."
Shui Rong stared at Daiyu with eyes full of smiles, and said softly, "We don't want any of them. If we really have any advantages in the future, we will leave our younger siblings to him. The two of us will go out for a walk to make up for all these years." It is a pity that I have been locked in the capital and cannot browse the world."
Dai Yu's soft eyes seemed to be clear water, with slight ripples, and said: "Brother Rong, did Dai'er tell you that meeting you is the greatest blessing in Dai'er's life?"
Shui Rong was a little moved when he heard that, he hugged Daiyu and leaned against his chest, lovingly caressing his slender shoulders, and said softly: "It should be said that it is the great blessing of Brother Rong." Nestling in Shui Rong's arms with a contented smile.
The palace lanterns in the courtyard had already been lit, and occasionally a little rain fell in the long veranda.Although it is hot in summer, a little bit of coldness rushing into the nose is also arousing the whole body's cleverness.
Shui Rong supported Daiyu and walked slowly on the veranda, hearing the pattering raindrops, the bright lightning and the continuous rumbling thunder in his ears, he suddenly felt a little bit sad.
Pulling the cloak around her shoulders, Daiyu covered her ears and hid in Shui Rong's arms, avoiding the deafening thunder.
The bigger and bigger raindrops hit the big plantain leaves outside the corridor, and the green and green appearance can still be seen in the darkness.
With a click, Daiyu looked over in response to the prestige, and saw that the two peonies that Sang Qingyan gave her that day had been broken from the roots. A bad premonition rose in my heart.
Shui Rong followed Daiyu's gaze, and immediately froze his face.The two peonies have been planted here for eight years, and they have already been intertwined with their branches, and they broke off suddenly. It is really a bad omen, so they looked at Daiyu and said softly: "Maybe it's been too long. , that’s why we can’t stand the storm.”
Daiyu suppressed the cold feeling on her body, nodded her head, and said, "Maoer is still waiting for us in the study, it's better to get out of the heavy rain as soon as possible, let Maoer rest earlier."
When I got up early the next morning, the rays of light broke through the misty clouds in the sky, and the rays of light shone out, revealing the brutality of the torrential rain last night without leaving any room.
Seeing Daiyu walking over with her waist supported, Princess Beijing hurriedly put down the bowls and chopsticks in her hands, ordered Dongxue to sit by her side while supporting Daiyu, and said angrily, "Thinking about the heavy rain last night, you couldn't sleep well. Did you wake up so early?"
Daiyu smiled lightly, and sat beside Concubine Beijing holding Dongxue's hand, and said, "Didn't Concubine Mother still get up early? Why can't I sleep well with the sound of thunder and rain?" As she spoke, she suddenly remembered One person smiled softly and said, "I'm afraid that one person will sleep more soundly."
Concubine Bei Jing narrowed her eyes when she heard that she was laughing more and more. Her little grandson was very talented and intelligent, which made people very happy. Compared with those mansions with many descendants and complicated affairs, she sincerely felt for Shui Rong and Daiyu's teachings, so she lightly He smiled and said: "The little treasure of our palace is a real treasure, Prince Maojing's name is not for nothing."
As he was talking, he heard the maid outside say: "The little prince is here to pay his respects to the concubine and concubine."
Concubine Bei Jing hurriedly asked the servant girl to serve him in after listening to the sound, she hugged him in her arms and said with a smile: "My grandson, why are you here so early? "
Shui Mao giggled, rubbed his hands in the arms of Concubine Bei Jing, and said: "Grandson is thinking about grandma." He was so happy that Concubine Bei Jing asked someone to set the table and chopsticks for him, and said: "You might as well eat some raw. You have to go to study in the palace while you are growing up, but you can't be careless."
Shui Mao got up from the arms of Concubine Beijing, bowed to Daiyu, and said, "Maoer has seen mother."
Daiyu pulled him up, smiled softly and said, "Mao'er, hurry up and have some breakfast, if the class is over, I'm afraid the master will discipline you again."
Shui Mao made a grimace, and sat down on the second seat on the left. Concubine Bei Jing spread a few pieces of duck breast with rouge for Daiyu, and just now she handed a bowl of porridge to Shui Mao, and said with a smile: "Both of you mothers It should also be mended well, Yu'er has been in the mansion for so many years, she is still slender and weak, after all, she is still too thin."
Daiyu thanked Concubine Beijing, put her favorite bun in front of her, and said with a light smile, "Yu'er is in good health, Concubine Mother, don't worry."
Concubine Beijing looked at Daiyu and shook her head, and said: "You should take good care of her, and give me a white and fat little grandson or granddaughter tomorrow, whether it's a boy or a daughter, she will belong to our Beijing Prince's Mansion." Baby, just throw away those boring things and ignore them, the past is over." Daiyu nodded with a smile.
Just after I had used it earlier, I saw Lamei rushing in in a panic, and saw Daiyu anxiously saying at the Concubine Beijing's place: "Taufei, Wangfei, the mother from the palace said that she is going to invite the princess to the palace." Take a trip."
Concubine Beijing looked at Lamei and said indifferently: "Is there anything you can't say slowly, why are you so eager?"
Lamei hurriedly calmed down after hearing this, and hurriedly said: "The concubine forgives the sin, just now the mother in the palace said that the empress would invite the concubine to the palace to have a talk."
Daiyu frowned when she heard this and looked at Concubine Beijing, seeing that Concubine Beijing was also looking at her, she said, "The empress is resting in the palace, the emperor does not allow anyone to visit, why?" Xu Yu said: "The nanny from the palace is in the front hall, Yu'er is going to see her."
Concubine Beijing nodded her head, looked at Dongxue, and said, "You and Lamei Haosheng helped Maoer tidy up and go to the study in the palace." Turning her head to look at Daiyu, she said, "I'll go with you."
Seeing Concubine Bei Jing and Daiyu coming together, the mother who was anxiously waiting in the hall fell to her knees and said: "The old servant who disturbed the concubine and the concubine deserves to die."
Concubine Bei Jing looked at the nanny and said, "Didn't the emperor order you to serve the empress? Why did you come out of the palace?"
Hearing this, the nun immediately had a look of sadness on her face, and said: "Empress Empress, I am afraid that it is not very well, Empress Empress, if I want to invite Wangfei into the palace to talk, I have exhausted my sisterly love that day. "
Daiyu's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and suddenly she remembered how the two peonies broke off last night, her heart trembled immediately, she looked at the equally astonished Concubine Bei Jing and said, "Yu'er, go to the palace to visit the empress."
Concubine Bei Jing saw the sad expression on the mother's face, and felt compassion in her heart. After all, Sang Qingyan was her sister-in-law's daughter, so she said: "Yu'er, go, take Chun Xian, and be careful."
Daiyu nodded, looked at the nanny and said: "Let's go." The nanny didn't care about the tears on her face, she knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, my servant, thank you, my princess."
The carriage bumped all the way, because the nun held the emperor's gold medal in her hand, and the guards did not stop her all the way to Qifeng Palace where the empress lived.
Entering the inner courtyard of the palace, Daiyu saw that there was only a dead branch left on the Xifu crabapple like an umbrella, so she looked at the nun in astonishment, and only heard the nun say: "Last night, the heavy rain fell. A ball of fire seemed to circle around the Xifu crabapple, and after the heavy rain, there was only a dead branch left."
Daiyu felt a little sorry, and immediately walked into Qifeng Palace with Chunxian's hand, only smelling a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine at the end of her nose, Daiyu coughed lightly, and walked slowly to Yingfeng Hall of Qifeng Palace, heavily curtained There was a canopy bed carved with dragons and phoenixes behind the curtain, and light coughs came from inside.
Hearing Daiyu and her party come in, the maid of honor pulled up the curtain, and the swaying gold hook hooked up the long bright yellow veil, holding a skinny woman in bright yellow veil on the bed.
Daiyu stared at the withered and sickly Sang Qingyan with wide eyes in disbelief, her previously flamboyant eyebrows had already dimmed, and only the empty long clothes were left to cover her body.
"Ahem, sister, you are here." With the help of the maid beside her, Sang Qingyan sat up straight, her eyes were still like the sea, and she quietly looked at Daiyu with a smile on her lips. .
His eyes fell on Daiyu's swollen belly, and he smiled softly: "I knew my sister was a blessed one, ahem, now I see it for real."
Seeing her appearance, Daiyu unconsciously stepped forward and said, "I've seen the empress."
Sang Qingyan lowered her bitter mouth, waved her hands to make the maids and eunuchs in the palace retreat, and then said calmly: "It's been so many years, can it be that my sister still can't forgive me?"
Daiyu slightly raised her eyes to look at Sang Qingyan, only to see her face was as yellow as paper, she sighed softly in her heart: "The past is over, what is the empress talking about?"
Sang Qingyan raised her face suddenly, looked straight into Daiyu's eyes, and said: "If I, ahem, if I could understand some things earlier and see through some things, maybe I wouldn't be here today, and neither would my child." It won't pass away for no reason, will it?"
In the past seven years, the Buddhist scriptures have been her reliance, but also her thoughts, and she has gradually figured out many things, and the debts and regrets welling up in her heart swept her already frail body.
Sang Qingyan stretched out her hand to hold Daiyu's hand, but because of Daiyu's retreat, she laughed at herself and said, "You should be on guard against me, after all, it was my fault back then."
As he spoke, his thoughts seemed to have fallen into silence, and he said: "The first time I saw you in the past was on the Double Ninth Festival. On that day, not only the eldest prince and the others went, but I also went. The purple smoke and red flower on the holy day is my daughter." I ordered a little country girl to give it to you."
Daiyu suddenly remembered the little girl who was called Chuntao back then, so she murmured: "That girl who was said to be wearing purple dress and gold lock was you?"
Sang Qingyan coughed lightly, swallowed the fishy sweetness in her throat, and said: "Yes. It was me that day." He said with a mocking smile: "The emperor was still the prince, and there was a portrait in his study. I saw it by accident, so I always wanted to meet the woman in the painting, but that **** went out of the palace uncharacteristically, so I went to Xishan with my family."
Speaking of which, Sang Qingyan coughed, and the heart-piercing voice made Daiyu feel fear, and she couldn't think about going forward to pour a glass of water and handed it to Sang Qingyan, saying: "Since the past is over That's all, the empress will take good care of her body."
Sang Qingyan took the teacup from Daiyu's hand, and sighed softly: "I said I forgot, but it's still hard to explain what's on my mind." Daiyu watched Sang Qingyan hide the handkerchief in her sleeve without a trace In the middle, my heart suddenly sank.
Sang Qingyan looked at the luxuriant peach and plum trees outside the window, and said with a slight smile, "It's been seven years, the garden flowers have bloomed and fallen, the clouds are rolling and the clouds are rolling, and the birds have long been lazy, withered and mottled. After all, the most prosperous age has passed. Like dead branches and snow, it has come to an end."
Turning to look at Daiyu, her pale and sallow face seemed to reflect the light, she held Daiyu's little hand and smiled softly: "The obsession in the day hurt my sister, but fortunately my sister is lucky, so I won't be burdened An irreparable sin."
A sorrow spread in Daiyu's heart, and she said softly: "I have already let go of what happened back then, why should my sister worry about it?" Maybe she was angry or sad many years ago, but in the end good and evil will pay her back in the end, no matter how much hatred Seeing her like this, she also turned into flowing water.
Sang Qingyan got up from the bed with difficulty, walked to the dressing table, opened the dried rouge and sighed softly, took some water from the vase beside her, picked up the rhino horn comb and combed her hair slowly.
Seeing her struggling again and again, Daiyu finally couldn't bear it, took the rhino horn comb in her hand, and said, "It's been a long time since I combed my sister's hair."
Sang Qingyan relaxed her whole mind and leaned on the back of the chair. Looking at the simple bun in the mirror, she raised her hand to stop Daiyu from inserting the bead flower, and said with a light smile, "It's very easy. Well, there is no need to worry so much."
Hearing this, Daiyu put down the comb in her hand with a trembling hand, and lightly removed one of the roses on the side and inserted it in her hair. Tears slipped down unconsciously.
Suddenly hearing the curtain rolled up behind her, she saw Mrs. Sang coming out from behind, wiping away the remaining tears on her face with an embroidered handkerchief, she stepped forward and lightly took Daiyu's little hand, and said, "Good boy, our mother and daughter are sorry for you."
In the past, she more or less heard about some things. Sang Qingyan was named general Yangshi as a prisoner. Although she never stopped the palace people from prostrating, she never stopped the things in the palace, and even let her visit the palace every month.But these made her feel like a heart-wrenching pain in her mother's heart.
She understood a little bit in her heart, it wasn't that she didn't complain, she also complained, for the Queen Mother's cruelty, for Daiyu's unfeeling, and even more for the Beijing Palace.I haven't been to the Beijing Palace for seven years, I heard these things today, I really blamed Daiyu, thinking about this, I can't help crying.
Looking at Daiyu's belly, Sang Qingyan felt warmth in his eyes, and said: "In the future, my sister's child will be born, and I will be their aunt."
"The emperor is here." The eunuch's high-pitched voice came from the palace gate, Sang Qingyan's hands trembled, and she looked back at Shui Han, whom she hadn't seen in seven years, and tears rolled down her nose.
Seeing Daiyu and Mrs. Sang here, Shui Han was startled, looked at Sang Qingyan who was crying, and called out, "Qingyan."
Sang Qingyan turned around and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, but the words she uttered were fragmented, "Your Majesty has not set foot in Qifeng Palace for seven years. What is the purpose of coming to Qifeng Palace today? Are you going to convict my concubine again?"
Shui Han looked at Sang Qingyan with great pain in his eyes, all kinds of scenes of young couples in the past floated in front of his eyes, and said: "Qingyan, I'm sorry, I came late."
After hearing this, Sang Qingyan panted heavily, tears dripping down her cheeks, and finally couldn't help crying in Shuihan's arms.
It took a long while to see Sang Qingyan stopped crying, Shui Han looked at her haggard face, took a scorpion from the side and arranged her hair bun, and the red gold phoenix hairpin with pearls on the dressing table tied her long hair, Seeing a little smile on the person in the mirror, the pain on his face became more and more serious.
Sang Qingyan's actions had broken his heart after all, and now it was a pity that he hadn't visited him for seven years, and the chance to reform himself was gone.
Seeing Shui Han and Sang Qingyan and Daiyu hiding the tears in their eyes, she left Yingfeng Hall by herself, but when she reached the door, she saw Shui Rong standing at the door, so she stepped forward and called softly: "Brother Rong."
Shui Rong took Daiyu's little hand, and said softly: "Let's go back first." Daiyu nodded, followed Shui Rong's footsteps out of Qifeng Palace, the rose petals floating in front of her exuded a fragrance, as if she was about to All the falling fragrance is released.
Nestling in Shui Han's arms, she felt that her breath was becoming more and more congested, and hurriedly opened her heavy eyelids to see the pain in Shui Han's eyes, and the scars in her heart had already healed, and said: "As long as the emperor remembers Qing Yan, Qing Yan, I will give you a little help." Yan Shi also died in peace."
Shui Han hugged Sang Qingyan tightly, and said with tears, "I am sorry for you. If you can recover, I will wait for you to stay with me for a hundred years."
Sang Qingyan smiled lightly, and said in a thin voice: "I'm afraid Qingyan no longer has that blessing. Tell me, tell Sister Yu'er, yes, I'm sorry for her. Maoer, Maoer is a good boy .” The hands that dropped suddenly fell on Shui Han’s.
Shui Han tightly hugged Sang Qingyan, who was no longer breathing, tears welled up in her eyes, dripping on her pale face.
The queen passed away, and Shui Han stopped court for ten days, wearing plain clothes for the queen's mourning. After the ministers unanimously wrote a letter, he gave up, but his expression was depressed, and his rapidly thinning appearance made everyone anxious.
Five months later, Daiyu gave birth to a pair of dragons and phoenixes. The boy was named Shuiyan, and the girl was named Shuijing.When Shuiyan landed, he was conferred the salary of Prince Yanjing, and Shuijing was conferred the salary of Princess Qingling.
Twelve years later, the emperor passed away. Because the emperor had no children, the clan was in chaos.Headed by Prince Nan'an, he wanted to seize the throne and persecuted Shui Mao, who had won Shui Han's favor, but was instead subdued by Shui Mao.
The ministers of the court unanimously called for Shui Mao to officially ascend the throne as emperor in 13. His wise eyes swept across the civil and military officials in the palace, and the imperial decree was issued in the blink of an eye. above.
Canonize the Holy Mother Lin as the Empress Dowager, and canonize Empress Duan Jingxian as the Empress Dowager, the Holy Mother of Sheng Duan Jingxian. Since then, Shui Mao has been revealed as the emperor.
(End of the article)
The slightly immature boy's voice made Daiyu who was sitting by the window smile, turned around and glanced at Chunxian who was standing beside her, and smiled again: "It's Chunxian again, you take Maoer to the study to make trouble." There are so many books that have not been dug out, but this collection of poems has been dug up. It's a bit funny to read Nian Nujiao with her immature voice.
Chunxian gently fanned Daiyu, looked at Shui Mao who was sticking out her tongue and made a face, and said with a light smile: "It's not that the princess has a lot of books, it's because we are going to flip through the books."
Daiyu put down the sour plum in her hand, frowned and swallowed the sweet and sour flesh in her mouth, and said: "You went to look through the book, but I was the one who came to compile it." She beckoned for Shui Mao who was behind the desk to come to her, and rubbed her face. Rubbing his hair, said: "Mao'er be honest, do you want to go to the study to look through the books again?"
Shui Mao stood in front of Daiyu with a small body, with a little smile in his eyes, and said: "Mother is rich in education, and your child will naturally not be left behind. Mother hides so many books from the children to read. , who else will see it?"
"Little slicker." Daiyu spat lightly, seeing him pretending to be calm was really annoyed and amused.
Seeing Daiyu's half-smile and reproach, Shui Mao lowered his head, stuck out his tongue, coquettishly smiled in Daiyu's arms, and said, "The homework assigned by the Taifu is too simple, and you can almost remember it after reading it. Besides, my mother I have taught children before, which is much better than that taught by the grand master."
Daiyu rubbed Shui Mao's forehead, and said helplessly: "What did you do in the palace today?" Shui Mao shrugged and protested, "I didn't do anything." He secretly tore it up, but he took the five little princesses to catch crickets, and he was completely defeated in the cricket fight with the eldest son of Nan'an Palace.
Daiyu has always been aware of Shui Mao's temperament, and at this time he didn't say anything at all, and then said: "Forget it, I know you are restless." She said seriously: "In the palace, there are children older than you, and you still have children. There are five little princesses, you should also restrain yourself, don't go too far, when the time comes, your emperor's uncle won't be able to say anything."
Seeing Daiyu's solemn face, Shui Mao nodded and said, "My child, remember your mother's teachings."
Daiyu caressed his forehead, nodded with a smile, looked at Chunxian, lowered her head and said: "If you have free time in the future, mother will give you the key to the study, and if you want to read, you can read it. Aunt Chunxian went together and secretly took out a copy."
The family precepts of the Shui family only require future generations to uphold integrity and nature, and the requirements for other books are not too strict. On the contrary, they are encouraged to read as many books as possible, and the more they read, the more they can understand some things.
Hearing what Daiyu said, Chunxian nodded Shuimao's forehead and said: "In the future, the little prince can go by himself, so as not to drag me into the water again, but let the princess blame me."
Shui Mao put his arms around Daiyu's neck and gave Chunxian a sideways look, and said, "Aunt Chunxian has been with my mother for so many years, how can I be willing to complain about my aunt?" He smiled a little smugly.
"The little prince must be by Wangfei's side while the prince is away, otherwise when the prince comes back, I can see that the little prince must have slipped out very quickly."
When Chun Xian pierced the little pride in his heart, Shui Mao immediately wrinkled his nose, looked up at Daiyu's funny face, and muttered: "Who makes my father jealous, I am not allowed to pester my mother every time. I don't want to Thinking, I was born in October of my mother's pregnancy, so I'm naturally closer than him."
Chunxian laughed so exaggeratedly that Shui Mao blushed immediately, and she gave Chunxian a look and said, "It's time for Aunt Chunxian to get married tomorrow, so you don't have to laugh at me all the time."
Daiyu hugged Shuimao amusedly, rubbed his neck, and said with a light smile, "Maoer is getting older, why is he still acting like a child?"
Shui Mao buried his head in Daiyu's arms and muttered, "My father pesters my mother every time and doesn't allow Maoer to come over. It's not fair to Maoer." Said: "It's better for mother to have a daughter, and then she will pester mother all the time, and see if the father will be overbearing and only allow him to pester mother alone."
"Ah." Shui Mao touched the bulging part of Daiyu's dress in surprise, and said with a smile: "Mother, mother, my sister heard what I said." He responded with more lively agitation, so he pressed his face On the belly, whispered: "Little sister, be good, little sister be good."
Daiyu looked at his grown-up face with amused expression, caressed Shui Mao's little face affectionately, and said with a smile: "Maoer likes my sister?"
Shui Mao raised a big smiling face, nodded fiercely and said: "If you give birth to a little sister who is exactly like your mother, then I will hug and play with the little sister every day, and keep her growing up safely, healthy and healthy." until old."
Daiyu smiled heartily, nodded his forehead, and said angrily, "Your sister hasn't been born yet, but you think so much."
Just now he finished speaking, he heard the voice of the maid outside asking for his peace, Shui Mao reluctantly got up from Daiyu's arms, saw Shui Rong who came in, bowed and said: "Maoer, father Wang An."
Shui Rong looked at Shui Mao and said, "What did Maoer learn today?"
Hearing that there seemed to be something wrong in Shui Rong's words, Shui Mao hung his head and stuck out his tongue, decided to answer obediently, and said: ""The Great Harmony of Rites and Fortunes".
He glanced at the water-melting expression, swallowed his saliva, and said: "The journey of the great way is also for the world to be public, to select the virtuous and capable, to preach trust and repair harmony. The old man is not alone in kissing his relatives, not only in his sons. So that old age will end, The strong are useful, the young are strong, the widows, the widows, the lonely, the disabled, and the sick all have something to support. Men have a share, women have a home, and the evil is thrown away on the ground, so there is no need to hide it, and the power is not from the body, there is no need For the sake of oneself, it is to seek closure and not to prosper, to steal and mess with thieves and not to do it. Therefore, it is said that the outside is not closed, which is called Datong.”
Shui Rong snorted, sat beside Daiyu and said, "It's as if you haven't completely forgotten the lesson of Confucius." Daiyu looked at Shui Rong in surprise, Shui Rong had never been so strict with Shui Mao, and could even be said to be extremely Chong Ni, why are the two of them uncharacteristically today, isn't it?Daiyu looked at Shuimao.
Shui Mao raised her eyes and took a sneak peek at Daiyu, screaming inwardly.Fu looked again at Shui Rong with a serious expression, then bowed and said: "The teachings of the saints, my child will definitely remember them in his heart."
Shui Rong nodded dispensably, and said: "Today you brought five little princesses in the imperial palace to catch crickets in the imperial garden, not only did you catch crickets, but you also brought the five little princesses and the eldest son of Nan'an Palace to come. Fighting, defeated his ever-victorious general completely. Made the young prince of Nan'an Palace lie on the ground and cry loudly, saying that you bullied him, right?"
Shui Mao pursed his lips and said, "He was just playing tricks, but he looks like a girl."
Shui Rong glanced at him, saw that he was really unconvinced, and pulled him to lean against him, saying: "Father and mother concubine know your temperament, and also know the temperament of the eldest son of Nan'an Palace. But you are too You have been naughty and unruly, and you have created a miasma in the palace. Your uncle always manipulates you, and the little princess hides it for you. Can you stop the people in the harem from talking and everyone in the front hall looking sideways?"
Hearing what Shui Rong said, Shui Mao was shocked immediately, and couldn't help the cold sweat on his forehead, so he knelt on the ground and said: "Your child is reckless, please punish me."
Daiyu didn't want Shui Mao to be so mischievous, so she also showed a little bit of sternness, and said: "Mao'er, you know your mistake, my parents are really pleased. But you are too naughty and mischievous, and you will eventually become a playboy if you continue like this. Those cricket fights must never happen again. For today’s incident, you will be fined to go to the study and copy the Li Yun Datong chapter a hundred times, and if you commit the crime again, you will copy all the books in the study once.”
Shui Mao kowtowed respectfully and said: "My child obeys orders and respects the teachings of parents."
Daiyu let out a breath, sighed softly, and with a gentle smile on her face, she pulled Shui Mao into her arms, and said softly: "Maoer must understand that you are still young, and many things are beyond your control. "He said calmly: "The eldest son of the Nan'an Palace looks like a dandy now, if you really think you have the ability to transcend others, then you can join him. black'."
Shui Mao buried his head in Daiyu's arms and murmured: "But the eldest son of Nan'an Palace is too incompetent, he will only bully a few younger ones in the upper study room, I can't stand it. Besides, today is just a day. After defeating the little princess, General Changsheng lay on the ground and cried, really humiliating the man."
Daiyu sneered, nodded and caressed Shuimao and said lightly: "He really lost face like that." Then he said: "It is the behavior of a man to be able to bend and stretch, and to endure a moment of calmness and self-cultivation. Looking back, those were just tricks, and when you grow up, you'll just laugh it off." Shui Mao nodded submissively.
Shui Rong patted Shui Mao on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Mao Er, go to the study first, and your parents will teach you your homework later." Shui Mao smiled at Dai Yu, a sly look flashed in his eyes, and he bowed When you salute, you want to go back to the house.
Shui Rong didn't miss the sly look on Shui Mao's face, remembering the scene when he entered the room and saw the mother and son relying on each other, then his face sank and he said: "In the future, if you have nothing to do, don't disturb your mother's rest."
Shui Mao curled his lips, and said: "I knew that the big vinegar bucket is under pressure." After saying that, he covered his mouth and snickered, and ran out of the back room, and quickly ran to the study with the little eunuch serving beside him.
Seeing Chunxian's snickering face, Daiyu's cheeks flushed suddenly, she looked at Shui Rong reproachfully, and said, "What did Brother Rong say? You made Maoer laugh."
Shui Rong hugged Daiyu and leaned in his arms, saying: "It's better to let him know, and save me from arguing with me all day long." He said bitterly: "It's all the emperor's fault, he always instigates Maoer to come here. Looking for you, I don't know what he's thinking about."
Shui Rong hugged Daiyu tightly with some taste, and said: "You are not allowed to use anything he asked Mao'er to bring back." His domineering tone did not allow Daiyu to refute.
Daiyu gently kissed the creases between his brows, and said lightly: "I don't care about his things."
Since Sang Qingyan was banned from the palace seven years ago, she has lost her mind about entering the palace.Following Shui Rong, she went to live in the south of the Yangtze River for two years, and when she returned to the capital, it was the Queen Mother's passing away, and since then, she has no desire to enter the palace anymore.
The Queen Mother and the Supreme Emperor passed away one after another, and the palace seemed to have long been a thing of the past in Daiyu's life.If Shui Han hadn't ordered Shui Mao to study in the palace three years ago, she would not want to mention the palace even now.
Shui Rong understood that what Cai just said must have touched Daiyu's mind, so he put his arms around her and leaned in his arms, and said, "Dai'er should be happy, I don't want our daughter to be born with a faint sadness on her brow."
Daiyu sneered and said, "How do you know it's a daughter?"
Shui Rong gently caressed Daiyu's belly with his big hands, kissed the corners of her curved lips, hummed in a half-truth, and said, "Your precious son is allowed to look forward to my sister, and I am not allowed to look forward to my daughter? I am I hope to have a daughter who is exactly like Dai'er, then I will give her all the treasures in the world."
Daiyu laughed softly, it seemed like clear blue water outside the window, and the pond was full of white lotus, she giggled and said, "It's lucky that brother Rong wants a daughter, but everyone outside really hopes that my baby will be a daughter."
Shui Rong tightened her brows, only held Daiyu's little hand in her arms, and said softly and softly, "It doesn't matter what their thoughts are, good or bad, I have nothing to do with it, my Dai'er is my Dai'er after all, Our sons and daughters are our treasures."
Daiyu straightened the hair behind him, and said softly, "I just hope that brother Rong and the children are all safe and sound."
Shui Rong looked down at Daiyu's calm face, and said, "If we want to be calm, let's do it. I just look at that child Mao'er, I'm afraid it won't be peaceful."
Daiyu rubbed the center of her brows, and said helplessly, "Mao'er has been very active since she was a child, and she surpasses everyone in riding and hunting. Now her literary talent in the study seems to be extraordinary."
After a pause, he said reluctantly: "I don't know why the emperor attaches so much importance to Mao'er? So many sons and daughters of princes and nobles are so partial, wouldn't it be people waiting to be caught?"
All she wants is for Shui Rong and her children to be safe, and Shui Han's move is tantamount to pushing the Shui family to the forefront.Thinking of this, Daiyu suddenly remembered Miaoyu's prophecy to Shuimao that day, she frowned, and felt more and more melancholy in her heart.
Shui Rong gathered Daiyu's thin cloak, smiled lightly and said, "If it really is Mao'er's life, I can't dodge it no matter what." Talking about him tentatively, it seems that the child really has a tendency to refuse to admit defeat in his heart, maybe we can't influence his thoughts."
Daiyu was stunned when she heard that, she hurriedly clutched the sleeve of her water-soluble shirt and said, "Brother Rong, what did you say? Maoer is only eight years old, you ask him, what did he say?"
Seeing her anxious appearance, Shui Rong sighed, and said with a smile, "Don't our own children not understand? Dai'er thinks what he will say?"
Daiyu let go of Shui Rong's sleeves dejectedly, but was held even tighter by Shui Rong, and said: "That bastard, if that's the case, then I'll give birth to a cute baby girl and ignore him."
Shui Rong stared at Daiyu with eyes full of smiles, and said softly, "We don't want any of them. If we really have any advantages in the future, we will leave our younger siblings to him. The two of us will go out for a walk to make up for all these years." It is a pity that I have been locked in the capital and cannot browse the world."
Dai Yu's soft eyes seemed to be clear water, with slight ripples, and said: "Brother Rong, did Dai'er tell you that meeting you is the greatest blessing in Dai'er's life?"
Shui Rong was a little moved when he heard that, he hugged Daiyu and leaned against his chest, lovingly caressing his slender shoulders, and said softly: "It should be said that it is the great blessing of Brother Rong." Nestling in Shui Rong's arms with a contented smile.
The palace lanterns in the courtyard had already been lit, and occasionally a little rain fell in the long veranda.Although it is hot in summer, a little bit of coldness rushing into the nose is also arousing the whole body's cleverness.
Shui Rong supported Daiyu and walked slowly on the veranda, hearing the pattering raindrops, the bright lightning and the continuous rumbling thunder in his ears, he suddenly felt a little bit sad.
Pulling the cloak around her shoulders, Daiyu covered her ears and hid in Shui Rong's arms, avoiding the deafening thunder.
The bigger and bigger raindrops hit the big plantain leaves outside the corridor, and the green and green appearance can still be seen in the darkness.
With a click, Daiyu looked over in response to the prestige, and saw that the two peonies that Sang Qingyan gave her that day had been broken from the roots. A bad premonition rose in my heart.
Shui Rong followed Daiyu's gaze, and immediately froze his face.The two peonies have been planted here for eight years, and they have already been intertwined with their branches, and they broke off suddenly. It is really a bad omen, so they looked at Daiyu and said softly: "Maybe it's been too long. , that’s why we can’t stand the storm.”
Daiyu suppressed the cold feeling on her body, nodded her head, and said, "Maoer is still waiting for us in the study, it's better to get out of the heavy rain as soon as possible, let Maoer rest earlier."
When I got up early the next morning, the rays of light broke through the misty clouds in the sky, and the rays of light shone out, revealing the brutality of the torrential rain last night without leaving any room.
Seeing Daiyu walking over with her waist supported, Princess Beijing hurriedly put down the bowls and chopsticks in her hands, ordered Dongxue to sit by her side while supporting Daiyu, and said angrily, "Thinking about the heavy rain last night, you couldn't sleep well. Did you wake up so early?"
Daiyu smiled lightly, and sat beside Concubine Beijing holding Dongxue's hand, and said, "Didn't Concubine Mother still get up early? Why can't I sleep well with the sound of thunder and rain?" As she spoke, she suddenly remembered One person smiled softly and said, "I'm afraid that one person will sleep more soundly."
Concubine Bei Jing narrowed her eyes when she heard that she was laughing more and more. Her little grandson was very talented and intelligent, which made people very happy. Compared with those mansions with many descendants and complicated affairs, she sincerely felt for Shui Rong and Daiyu's teachings, so she lightly He smiled and said: "The little treasure of our palace is a real treasure, Prince Maojing's name is not for nothing."
As he was talking, he heard the maid outside say: "The little prince is here to pay his respects to the concubine and concubine."
Concubine Bei Jing hurriedly asked the servant girl to serve him in after listening to the sound, she hugged him in her arms and said with a smile: "My grandson, why are you here so early? "
Shui Mao giggled, rubbed his hands in the arms of Concubine Bei Jing, and said: "Grandson is thinking about grandma." He was so happy that Concubine Bei Jing asked someone to set the table and chopsticks for him, and said: "You might as well eat some raw. You have to go to study in the palace while you are growing up, but you can't be careless."
Shui Mao got up from the arms of Concubine Beijing, bowed to Daiyu, and said, "Maoer has seen mother."
Daiyu pulled him up, smiled softly and said, "Mao'er, hurry up and have some breakfast, if the class is over, I'm afraid the master will discipline you again."
Shui Mao made a grimace, and sat down on the second seat on the left. Concubine Bei Jing spread a few pieces of duck breast with rouge for Daiyu, and just now she handed a bowl of porridge to Shui Mao, and said with a smile: "Both of you mothers It should also be mended well, Yu'er has been in the mansion for so many years, she is still slender and weak, after all, she is still too thin."
Daiyu thanked Concubine Beijing, put her favorite bun in front of her, and said with a light smile, "Yu'er is in good health, Concubine Mother, don't worry."
Concubine Beijing looked at Daiyu and shook her head, and said: "You should take good care of her, and give me a white and fat little grandson or granddaughter tomorrow, whether it's a boy or a daughter, she will belong to our Beijing Prince's Mansion." Baby, just throw away those boring things and ignore them, the past is over." Daiyu nodded with a smile.
Just after I had used it earlier, I saw Lamei rushing in in a panic, and saw Daiyu anxiously saying at the Concubine Beijing's place: "Taufei, Wangfei, the mother from the palace said that she is going to invite the princess to the palace." Take a trip."
Concubine Beijing looked at Lamei and said indifferently: "Is there anything you can't say slowly, why are you so eager?"
Lamei hurriedly calmed down after hearing this, and hurriedly said: "The concubine forgives the sin, just now the mother in the palace said that the empress would invite the concubine to the palace to have a talk."
Daiyu frowned when she heard this and looked at Concubine Beijing, seeing that Concubine Beijing was also looking at her, she said, "The empress is resting in the palace, the emperor does not allow anyone to visit, why?" Xu Yu said: "The nanny from the palace is in the front hall, Yu'er is going to see her."
Concubine Beijing nodded her head, looked at Dongxue, and said, "You and Lamei Haosheng helped Maoer tidy up and go to the study in the palace." Turning her head to look at Daiyu, she said, "I'll go with you."
Seeing Concubine Bei Jing and Daiyu coming together, the mother who was anxiously waiting in the hall fell to her knees and said: "The old servant who disturbed the concubine and the concubine deserves to die."
Concubine Bei Jing looked at the nanny and said, "Didn't the emperor order you to serve the empress? Why did you come out of the palace?"
Hearing this, the nun immediately had a look of sadness on her face, and said: "Empress Empress, I am afraid that it is not very well, Empress Empress, if I want to invite Wangfei into the palace to talk, I have exhausted my sisterly love that day. "
Daiyu's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, and suddenly she remembered how the two peonies broke off last night, her heart trembled immediately, she looked at the equally astonished Concubine Bei Jing and said, "Yu'er, go to the palace to visit the empress."
Concubine Bei Jing saw the sad expression on the mother's face, and felt compassion in her heart. After all, Sang Qingyan was her sister-in-law's daughter, so she said: "Yu'er, go, take Chun Xian, and be careful."
Daiyu nodded, looked at the nanny and said: "Let's go." The nanny didn't care about the tears on her face, she knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, my servant, thank you, my princess."
The carriage bumped all the way, because the nun held the emperor's gold medal in her hand, and the guards did not stop her all the way to Qifeng Palace where the empress lived.
Entering the inner courtyard of the palace, Daiyu saw that there was only a dead branch left on the Xifu crabapple like an umbrella, so she looked at the nun in astonishment, and only heard the nun say: "Last night, the heavy rain fell. A ball of fire seemed to circle around the Xifu crabapple, and after the heavy rain, there was only a dead branch left."
Daiyu felt a little sorry, and immediately walked into Qifeng Palace with Chunxian's hand, only smelling a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine at the end of her nose, Daiyu coughed lightly, and walked slowly to Yingfeng Hall of Qifeng Palace, heavily curtained There was a canopy bed carved with dragons and phoenixes behind the curtain, and light coughs came from inside.
Hearing Daiyu and her party come in, the maid of honor pulled up the curtain, and the swaying gold hook hooked up the long bright yellow veil, holding a skinny woman in bright yellow veil on the bed.
Daiyu stared at the withered and sickly Sang Qingyan with wide eyes in disbelief, her previously flamboyant eyebrows had already dimmed, and only the empty long clothes were left to cover her body.
"Ahem, sister, you are here." With the help of the maid beside her, Sang Qingyan sat up straight, her eyes were still like the sea, and she quietly looked at Daiyu with a smile on her lips. .
His eyes fell on Daiyu's swollen belly, and he smiled softly: "I knew my sister was a blessed one, ahem, now I see it for real."
Seeing her appearance, Daiyu unconsciously stepped forward and said, "I've seen the empress."
Sang Qingyan lowered her bitter mouth, waved her hands to make the maids and eunuchs in the palace retreat, and then said calmly: "It's been so many years, can it be that my sister still can't forgive me?"
Daiyu slightly raised her eyes to look at Sang Qingyan, only to see her face was as yellow as paper, she sighed softly in her heart: "The past is over, what is the empress talking about?"
Sang Qingyan raised her face suddenly, looked straight into Daiyu's eyes, and said: "If I, ahem, if I could understand some things earlier and see through some things, maybe I wouldn't be here today, and neither would my child." It won't pass away for no reason, will it?"
In the past seven years, the Buddhist scriptures have been her reliance, but also her thoughts, and she has gradually figured out many things, and the debts and regrets welling up in her heart swept her already frail body.
Sang Qingyan stretched out her hand to hold Daiyu's hand, but because of Daiyu's retreat, she laughed at herself and said, "You should be on guard against me, after all, it was my fault back then."
As he spoke, his thoughts seemed to have fallen into silence, and he said: "The first time I saw you in the past was on the Double Ninth Festival. On that day, not only the eldest prince and the others went, but I also went. The purple smoke and red flower on the holy day is my daughter." I ordered a little country girl to give it to you."
Daiyu suddenly remembered the little girl who was called Chuntao back then, so she murmured: "That girl who was said to be wearing purple dress and gold lock was you?"
Sang Qingyan coughed lightly, swallowed the fishy sweetness in her throat, and said: "Yes. It was me that day." He said with a mocking smile: "The emperor was still the prince, and there was a portrait in his study. I saw it by accident, so I always wanted to meet the woman in the painting, but that **** went out of the palace uncharacteristically, so I went to Xishan with my family."
Speaking of which, Sang Qingyan coughed, and the heart-piercing voice made Daiyu feel fear, and she couldn't think about going forward to pour a glass of water and handed it to Sang Qingyan, saying: "Since the past is over That's all, the empress will take good care of her body."
Sang Qingyan took the teacup from Daiyu's hand, and sighed softly: "I said I forgot, but it's still hard to explain what's on my mind." Daiyu watched Sang Qingyan hide the handkerchief in her sleeve without a trace In the middle, my heart suddenly sank.
Sang Qingyan looked at the luxuriant peach and plum trees outside the window, and said with a slight smile, "It's been seven years, the garden flowers have bloomed and fallen, the clouds are rolling and the clouds are rolling, and the birds have long been lazy, withered and mottled. After all, the most prosperous age has passed. Like dead branches and snow, it has come to an end."
Turning to look at Daiyu, her pale and sallow face seemed to reflect the light, she held Daiyu's little hand and smiled softly: "The obsession in the day hurt my sister, but fortunately my sister is lucky, so I won't be burdened An irreparable sin."
A sorrow spread in Daiyu's heart, and she said softly: "I have already let go of what happened back then, why should my sister worry about it?" Maybe she was angry or sad many years ago, but in the end good and evil will pay her back in the end, no matter how much hatred Seeing her like this, she also turned into flowing water.
Sang Qingyan got up from the bed with difficulty, walked to the dressing table, opened the dried rouge and sighed softly, took some water from the vase beside her, picked up the rhino horn comb and combed her hair slowly.
Seeing her struggling again and again, Daiyu finally couldn't bear it, took the rhino horn comb in her hand, and said, "It's been a long time since I combed my sister's hair."
Sang Qingyan relaxed her whole mind and leaned on the back of the chair. Looking at the simple bun in the mirror, she raised her hand to stop Daiyu from inserting the bead flower, and said with a light smile, "It's very easy. Well, there is no need to worry so much."
Hearing this, Daiyu put down the comb in her hand with a trembling hand, and lightly removed one of the roses on the side and inserted it in her hair. Tears slipped down unconsciously.
Suddenly hearing the curtain rolled up behind her, she saw Mrs. Sang coming out from behind, wiping away the remaining tears on her face with an embroidered handkerchief, she stepped forward and lightly took Daiyu's little hand, and said, "Good boy, our mother and daughter are sorry for you."
In the past, she more or less heard about some things. Sang Qingyan was named general Yangshi as a prisoner. Although she never stopped the palace people from prostrating, she never stopped the things in the palace, and even let her visit the palace every month.But these made her feel like a heart-wrenching pain in her mother's heart.
She understood a little bit in her heart, it wasn't that she didn't complain, she also complained, for the Queen Mother's cruelty, for Daiyu's unfeeling, and even more for the Beijing Palace.I haven't been to the Beijing Palace for seven years, I heard these things today, I really blamed Daiyu, thinking about this, I can't help crying.
Looking at Daiyu's belly, Sang Qingyan felt warmth in his eyes, and said: "In the future, my sister's child will be born, and I will be their aunt."
"The emperor is here." The eunuch's high-pitched voice came from the palace gate, Sang Qingyan's hands trembled, and she looked back at Shui Han, whom she hadn't seen in seven years, and tears rolled down her nose.
Seeing Daiyu and Mrs. Sang here, Shui Han was startled, looked at Sang Qingyan who was crying, and called out, "Qingyan."
Sang Qingyan turned around and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, but the words she uttered were fragmented, "Your Majesty has not set foot in Qifeng Palace for seven years. What is the purpose of coming to Qifeng Palace today? Are you going to convict my concubine again?"
Shui Han looked at Sang Qingyan with great pain in his eyes, all kinds of scenes of young couples in the past floated in front of his eyes, and said: "Qingyan, I'm sorry, I came late."
After hearing this, Sang Qingyan panted heavily, tears dripping down her cheeks, and finally couldn't help crying in Shuihan's arms.
It took a long while to see Sang Qingyan stopped crying, Shui Han looked at her haggard face, took a scorpion from the side and arranged her hair bun, and the red gold phoenix hairpin with pearls on the dressing table tied her long hair, Seeing a little smile on the person in the mirror, the pain on his face became more and more serious.

Yan Shi also died in peace."
Shui Han hugged Sang Qingyan tightly, and said with tears, "I am sorry for you. If you can recover, I will wait for you to stay with me for a hundred years."

Shui Han tightly hugged Sang Qingyan, who was no longer breathing, tears welled up in her eyes, dripping on her pale face.
