Dream of the Red Chamber: Rong Dai

The melodious and light birdsong came from outside the window, and the blue sky shone like a jewel.Yan Qi's pretty face is like a rising rosy glow, buried in layers of brocade quilts, the burning red candle has exhausted its last tears, reflected by layers of smoke-like gauze winding down the ground, dragging out to the ground The brilliance is bright.

Daiyu, who woke up faintly, felt sore and limp all over her body, and moved her body uncomfortably, but fell into the embrace of water and warmth. She hurriedly lowered her head, holding the brocade quilt tightly and not looking up.

"Dai'er." The low and hoarse call made Daiyu hastily close her eyes, her lips were tightly pursed and she refused to say a word, but waves of red tide spread on her face.

Shui Rong pulled Daiyu back and leaned against her arms, looked down at her tightly closed eyes, and wanted to tickle her with his big hands.Daiyu's nature is the most intolerant of numbness and itching, so she smiled, and in a hurry, she wanted to push away the big hands that were mischievous.

Shui Rong stopped his hands, looked at Daiyu who couldn't lift her head up with a low smile, and said, "I've grown more and more, but I pretended not to wake up when I woke up."

Daiyu gathered the brocade quilt on her body, closed her eyes, and said, "I'm still sleeping." Thinking of the lingering tenderness of last night, she still couldn't restrain her shyness, she didn't know how to look at Shui Rong.

After all, it was difficult to get used to having such an intimate relationship overnight, so he closed his eyes and refused to look at Shui Rong.Daiyu's ruddy lips opened and closed, the delicate and glamorous color made Shui Rong unconsciously move.

The red lips were surrounded, and Daiyu's sleepy eyes widened suddenly. When she realized that the brocade quilt had placed an unruly big hand, her whole body was filled with shyness. Looking at the blue sky outside the window, she wanted to push his big hand away.

A numb itching hit, the same fiery breath from last night spread all over the body, and the soft hands could no longer push him away. among.

The sun outside the window has risen high, and strands of golden light outside the curtains spill in through layers of drapery, like a golden veil woven by delicate fairies with fine gold threads.

The misty hot spring water pavilion is full of smog, with a somewhat illusory scene. It is not very clear through layers of gauze curtains. The traditional Chinese medicine mixed with the fragrance of flowers strikes, making Daiyu feel uncomfortable with a sigh.

Shui Rong took the big towel, bent down and picked up Daiyu, and said with a light smile, "This hot spring water prepared by traditional Chinese medicine, the bubbles are good for your body, but you shouldn't spend it too much." It's because he was lazy and refused to get up.

Daiyu buried her head in his arms and didn't answer, only the blush on her ears and cheeks made Shui Rong chuckle, but she didn't say anything, she just got up and carried Daiyu to the bedroom.

Xixi and Daiyu put on the inner and middle clothes, and just now she helped Daiyu to sit in front of the dressing table, quietly looked at Daiyu who was as charming as a flower in the Linghua mirror, then took out the ivory comb in the dowry and combed it with Daiyu. Combing her long hair, she only tied a red silk rope, then walked to the door, opened the door, and let the servant girl who had been standing outside the door for a long time come in to serve Daiyu.

Seeing Shui Rong open the door, the maidservants standing outside the door hastily leaned over to congratulate and said: "Servants congratulate the lord and concubine, I wish the lord and concubine have a son soon, and the blessings will last forever."

Shui Rong responded lightly, and the maids and maids filed in with their grooming items. On the dark red carved lacquer magpie climbing plum tray was a set of red palace attire, and the matching ruby ​​jewelry was even more dazzling.

The two Shiquan nuns sent by the queen mother of the palace stepped forward to make the bed, put away the snow-white brocade handkerchief with a touch of bright red on the bed, carefully put it into a box of red sandalwood, rich and noble, and turned around full of piles of red. He said with a smile: "Slaves and servants congratulate the prince and concubine."

Daiyu's pretty face blushed uncontrollably, she just sat down in front of the dressing table, not daring to look up at the joyful faces of the nuns and maids in the room.The attendant nurse who followed came to Daiyu's side, picked up an ivory comb, combed a bun with Daiyu carefully, and put on the red gold and ruby-studded head with Daiyu, before bowing and retreating .

Chunxian took over and Daiyu wore ruby ​​earrings. Ruby-carved lotus seeds and Daiyu hung on their necks, implying an early birth to a precious child.

Daiyu supported her slightly heavy head, looked at Chunxian who was thrushing her eyebrows in the bronze mirror, and said: "Chunxian, this head is very heavy, can you take some off?"

Shui Rong, who came in after freshening up in the outer room, heard Daiyu's words, came forward, saw her holding a bun with ruby ​​jewels hanging on her arm, her head was a little overwhelmed, and she couldn't hide her distress, so she He strode forward and took down the two long hairpins, then pointed to the big phoenix hairpin inlaid with precious stones in red gold, and said: "It's just to meet the Taiwang and the Concubine, they are the flesh and blood of the whole family, so I don't need this thing."

After hearing this, Chunxian had no choice but to take down the red gold phoenix hairpin in Daiyu's hair, and replaced it with a dotted emerald gemstone hairpin with magpies climbing plums and tassels, and a big red velvet flower on the rolled up green silk hairpin, and the rest hairpins No hairpins at all.

After dressing up, Daiyu stood up gracefully, quietly raised her eyes and smiled brilliantly at Shui Rong who was smiling beside her, her beauty was mixed with indescribable charm, adding a very moving charm, then she took Daiyu's little hand and said softly: "Let's Go and pay your respects to your father, mother and concubine."

Daiyu felt a little uneasy, especially when she walked out of the room, seeing the golden light rising outside, she raised her eyes to Shui Rong and said, "It's such an hour, I'm the one who got up late , I don’t know if the father and mother have been waiting for a long time.”

Shui Rong closed the lapel of Daiyu's cloak, said with a smile: "Dai'er don't have to worry about such things, she should sleep until she wakes up when she wakes up, I'm afraid the father, queen, mother and concubine haven't woken up yet. "

Daiyu was stunned, looked at the scene of recovery of all things with puzzled eyes, cast a glance at Shui Rong, and said, "It's you who coaxed me, who else can't get up at this time?"

Shui Rong paused, hugged Daiyu's slender waist and leaned against her arms, and said with a smile: "Dai'er has lived in the mansion for so long, have you ever seen our family having breakfast together?"

Daiyu thought about it carefully, but she couldn't help but burst out laughing, and said, "It really isn't."

"That's it. The father and the mother have been like this since they were young. They always sleep until they wake up naturally. At first, the father went to the court, but it was fine. Now that he has retired from the throne, he has become more and more lazy. So I say you don't need it." Urgent, let's slowly take a look and familiarize yourself with the paths in the mansion, so that you won't get lost in the future."

Daiyu looked at Shui Rong angrily, and said, "What are you talking about. Anyway, I have lived here for so long, why can't I find my way?"

Shui Rong smiled softly, and did not refute Daiyu's words, but carefully supported Daiyu to move forward. Behind her, the maidservant bowed her head and followed her three steps away, holding Daiyu's cloak and other things in her hands.

Walking on the bluestone road, the bamboo forests on both sides are still green and cool, the plum blossoms are all gone, and the small green plums are already sour all over the ground just looking at them, and there are even peach and plum trees in full bloom, bees dancing around and butterflies dancing in spring There is no doubt that it is lively.

Walking out of the Yilan Courtyard, facing the warm spring sun, Daiyu felt a little out of breath, and her delicate body leaned against Shui Rong unconsciously.Shui Rong chuckled, taking all of Daiyu's weight and letting her lean on him.

Daiyu was dumbfounded by the sparkling clear water and clear waves around her. She didn't expect that the Yilan Courtyard was built in the center of the East Lake, and the plum garden and the lotus garden walked around the East Lake. Now standing by the gate of Yilan Courtyard, I can see nine out of ten of these scenery in my eyes.

The four seasons flowers planted by the water in Yilan Courtyard are surrounded by fences to form four circles, each of which is a place for flowers in spring, summer, autumn and winter. The outermost layer is summer vegetation and flowers together with clear water and clear lotus.

Deep red rhododendrons, white magnolias like jade, daughter begonias as bright as fat, white peonies as big as jade bowls, and layers of petals are like carvings of fine white jade. Occasionally, the dew splashed by mandarin ducks in the water falls on the On top of it, it adds a bit of crystal clear feeling.

Lilies and roses are planted together, complementing each other, and it seems that they are growing more and more lushly, with a tangy fragrance.In a blink of an eye, the pink all-white petaled flowers next to the rocks are also the hard-to-find 'Eighteen Scholars'. The rounds of petals are stacked one after another, just like the colorful clouds lingering in the green forest, the steep and charming rocks.

There are small and exquisite orchids standing beside the water, and the proud narcissus. Although the flower branches are small, they can't hide the quiet fragrance, which is delicate and windy, and has an unattainable charm and enchanting attitude.

Looking at the fairyland-like Penglai Island, Daiyu unconsciously lowered her head and sighed softly. The joy in her heart was beyond words. She lifted her teary eyes after a while and thanked softly, "Thank you Brother Rong, Dai'er is so happy in this place."

Shui Rong raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of Daiyu's eyes, and said with a smile, "As long as Dai'er likes it. Dai'er, don't cry. If you cry, Brother Rong will only think you are lying, not because you really like this place."

Daiyu hurriedly wiped away the tears, raised her eyes and looked at the surrounding scenery, surrounded by clear water, weeping willows, blooming like a brocade, spreading like clouds, she smiled and said: "If I don't like this kind of Penglai fairyland, then why not?" It’s not that you’re too greedy, but what kind of person have you become?”

As he spoke, he looked at the Tangmu boat docked outside the white marble arch bridge. The bright red silk and satin were still hung high above it, and it was scattered and melodious with the wind. There had long been a driver standing on the bow with an oar, watching the water-soluble Daiyu go hand in hand. Come, then hurriedly bent down and knelt down to salute: "I have seen the prince and concubine."

Shui Rong waved his hand, and carefully helped Daiyu onto the Tangmu boat, the driver untied the cable, and paddled lightly among the lotus leaves, the water plants were lush, occasionally lapping once or twice Ripples are the little fish surging up, creating a mischievous scene.

The cool breeze blowing from the lake was cautious, Shui Rong took the cloak in Chunxian's hand and put it on Daiyu, her gentle and smiling eyes never left Daiyu's joyful and curious face, only more pampering, affectionate and nostalgic money could not be contained.

When we arrived at the Chunhui Courtyard where Prince Beijing and Concubine Beijing lived, Nanny Lai was waiting by the door early on. When he saw the water-melting Daiyu coming with him, he couldn't help being overjoyed. He turned around and said with a smile: "Your Majesty The concubine came to pay her respects to the crown prince and concubine."

Then the maids inside were full of joy and hurriedly passed on the words layer by layer, and even Qingmei stepped forward to untie Daiyu's cloak, and together with the green and emerald wintersweet Dongxue, they walked behind the water-melting Daiyu.

Prince Beijing and Concubine Beijing are already sitting upright on the nanmu chairs embroidered with red and gold threads, looking at Daiyu and Shui Rong with affection and tenderness, and said with a smile: "I'm thinking about how you two will be together today." Didn't get up so early, didn't you just come here at this time?"

Daiyu's delicate face was as red as coral, and she felt heat rushing into her heart. She looked at the red embroidered shoes embroidered with plum blossoms, and was at a loss when she felt a familiar warm embrace approaching her. She embraced it in her arms, and pushed it away without realizing it.

The red tide on his face became more and more intense. Wouldn't it be a joke to be so rude in front of the Crown Prince and Concubine?

Shui Rong insisted on not letting go, looked at the Prince of Beijing and Princess Bei Jing with cold eyes, and said coldly: "I'm afraid you just got up just now, but what Dai'er said, 'Do not do to others what you don't want to be done to you' If this is the case, you should also understand, and you are too old and disrespectful."

Concubine Beijing looked at Shui Rong feigning anger, then turned to look at Prince Beijing, and said angrily: "Listen, this is the good son you taught, but he doesn't understand even the slightest bit of rules. No way. If my daughter-in-law is considerate."

The maid beside her had already cleverly put the five-color kiln bell for serving tea on the tray, knelt beside Daiyu, and let the water-melting Daiyu and the Queen Mother of Beijing serve tea.

Daiyu Yingying knelt on the soft cushion, first offered a cup of tea to Prince Beijing, and shyly said: "Taiwan, please have some tea."

Taiwang Beijing took the tea bowl and put it in his hand, narrowed his eyes with a smile, put the jasper flute in his hand on the tray, and said with a smile: "Yu'er girl, don't be so cautious, we are already the flesh and blood of the family, you You can call me Father King or Father."

Daiyu's shy face became more and more shy, but she also nodded and called out: "Father." Prince Beijing nodded in satisfaction. He was very satisfied with Daiyu's daughter-in-law, not only It's because she is the daughter of Lin Ruhai and Jia Min, but it's hard to pick a daughter in this world because of her appearance.

Concubine Beijing took the tea from Daiyu, took a sip with a smile, and smiled at Prince Beijing, and then put the red gold bracelet inlaid with turquoise crystal on her wrist into Daiyu's hand, matching the bracelet in Daiyu's hand. The landscape jade ring is mixed with a rattan weave, which is considered complete.

These two bracelets were originally the proof of being in charge of the affairs of the Beijing Prince's Mansion. On the first day, the Grand Concubine of Beijing gave Daiyu, how could the servant girls below be more in awe, and dare not treat Daiyu in the slightest Violation and slack are more rigorous and careful than when Concubine Beijing was, so I won't mention it for the time being.

After watching Daiyu offer tea, Shui Rong stood up with Daiyu on his arm, and helped her to sit on the red sandalwood chair carved with auspicious clouds, dragons and phoenixes at the head of Princess Beijing. Now, if you don’t use it for breakfast, I’m afraid it will be delayed until lunch.”

After hearing this, Concubine Bei Jing hurriedly got up, and said with a smile: "I'm the one who is so confused waiting for my daughter-in-law to tea, come to Yu'er, let's go and eat some food, your body is always lacking in recuperation , but now three meals a day are not allowed to be interrupted."

Daiyu's little hand was held by Concubine Beijing, and she pulled her towards the front hall. Seeing that Shui Wanyu was nowhere to be seen, she asked in confusion, "Where is Sister Wanyu?"

Concubine Bei Jing paused her hands, and said with a light smile: "That wild girl, you got married yesterday, but that girl Qing Yan poured you a lot of water and wine, I'm afraid you're still lying on the bed at this time! It's really true! She no longer looks like a royal princess." Although it was a small responsibility, it carried the concern of a loving mother.

Thinking of Sang Qingyan's depression in her heart now, Daiyu only thought about how to persuade her.

Seeming to see through Daiyu's thoughts, Princess Bei Jing clenched Daiyu's little hand more and more, and smiled softly: "Your little daughter and sister's family, it's good to persuade each other. I just look at yours. Thoughts are too detailed, I'm afraid it's not a good thing."

Daiyu is also fine, she has made up her mind that as long as Daiyu is a daughter-in-law, it is too late for her to be water-soluble and to cherish Daiyu, how can she make Daiyu think wildly?Only Sang Qingyan, now that the prince's wedding is approaching, her mind is becoming more and more heavy and disturbed, I'm afraid it may not be a good thing.

As soon as she entered the palace gate, it was as deep as the sea, and if she was still so careful, she might still be the one who would have difficulty gaining a foothold in the palace, so she felt more and more worried.

Suddenly feeling light in her hand, Princess Beijing frowned and came back to her senses, but saw that Daiyu's little hand was tightly held by Shui Rong, she couldn't help but laughed dumbly, but raised her face and said: "You bastard, how could you Are you waiting for an unfilial son?"

Shui Rong caressed the tenderness of Daiyu's small hands, and by the way wrapped her struggling body, and said with a faint smile, "Is there anything unfilial about my son? Mother and concubine can give me some pointers."

Concubine Beijing looked at him like this, racked her brains and couldn't find a suitable reason to say it. After thinking for a while, she strode up to Prince Beijing, took Prince Beijing's arm, and raised her chin to look at him. Shui Rong said: "You hold your daughter-in-law's arm, and I hold my husband's. Neither of us wants to compare with the other?"

As he spoke, he looked at Daiyu, who was giggling aside, and said, "Yu'er, you should also take care of your husband, so that the vinegar will overflow when the time comes, and the smell of vinegar will permeate the capital, and it will become a vat of vinegar. My son, let people laugh at our Beijing Palace, which has become jealous without money."

Hearing this, Daiyu couldn't stop smiling and looked at Shui Rong, her pretty face was smudged, and she was infinitely shy.Prince Beijing also pulled Concubine Beijing and walked forward with some helplessness, and said with a hint of doting in his words: "You, that's all! Anyway, Rong'er is our biological child. After all these years The two of you, mother and son, are fighting to become two families."

Concubine Bei Jing glared at Shui Rong, then squinted at Prince Bei Jing and said, "What do you know? As long as the daughter-in-law follows my old woman, I'm not afraid that that bastard won't come back."

He took Dai Yu's little hand and walked on the bluestone road covered with green shades with his early meal. Seeing Dai Yu's thoughtful face, he immediately smiled and said, "Dai'er, don't worry too much. Cousin Sang and the crown prince It’s just their fate.”

Daiyu stopped, stared at the indifferent face with foggy eyes, sighed lightly, frowned, and said, "What can I say? The marriage between Sister Sang and Brother Prince was decided by the emperor." .only."

The warmth overflows and knocks the mountain to shake the tiger——
