Dream of the Red Chamber: Rong Dai

"It's hard to stay in spring, change your shirts into red makeup. After a storm, the road is far away, and the sorrows are hard to break. After the end, the birds sing and the swallows dance, and the willows are stepping. It's hard to trust the brocade books, and it's hard to sleep when weeping."

Daiyu and Shui Wanyu supported the Empress Dowager for a walk in the imperial garden, and the clear water was rippling and clear.The coolness here made the Empress Dowager feel more at ease, and she only took Daiyu Wanyu and Mother De to walk towards the secluded winding path.

Shui Wanyu giggled and wanted to go to the pond, the lotus leaves were covered by green shade everywhere, the cool feeling of the tentacles made Shui Wanyu smile, and turned around and called: "Sister-in-law, hurry up!" Come and have a look, the water is so cool."

The Empress Dowager helped Nanny De to sit down, saw the pretty smile on Shui Wanyu's face, and Daiyu's faint anticipation, then smiled and said: "Go, although the weather is cool, it's still unbearable after all, go over there It's cooler too." Daiyu nodded as she said, and then walked to Shui Wanyu's side.

The long skirt with red hibiscus embroidered on a white background is inlaid with rolling red wide edges. Instead of being inlaid with jade buttons like in the past, it is only tied with two red ribbons embroidered with orchid orchids. The red dress is embroidered with a black orchid.Walking against the wind, Niaoyao Nana is extraordinarily delicate.

Walking to the side of the stone railing, a court lady took a cushion and placed it on the stone railing, helped Daiyu and Shui Wanyu to sit down, and retreated to the side.

Wan Yu held the carved lacquer crabapple fish food plate in her hand, and sprinkled the gray-yellow grassy fish food. In an instant, she saw the colorful koi swarming up, and she couldn't help laughing: "These koi have been kept in captivity for a long time, but they are white. The fish are swimming freely, scrambling for the fish food."

Daiyu shook the fan in her hand, and said with a light smile, "It's a common sense. After all, after being kept in captivity for a long time, it loses its original nature. It's no fun to fight with each other."

Hearing this, Shui Wanyu pursed the corners of her lips and let out a smile. Seeing Daiyu's ecstatic face, a little playfulness came to her heart, and she giggled and said, "Sister-in-law, there is a big miracle in our Northern Palace. Sister-in-law, do you know?" no?"

Daiyu looked back in surprise, looked at the smile on Wanyu's face in puzzlement, and even more puzzled why the topic came here, and said blankly: "What strange news? Why have I never heard of it?"

Shui Wanyu stood up, walked a few steps with her hands behind her back, but was pulled back by Daiyu, and said: "My good sister, just tell me, if you try to keep me out, I'll be annoyed."

Shui Wanyu shook her little hand, looked around, then looked down at Daiyu and said, "Sister-in-law, please keep a secret for me, if Brother Wang finds out, then I will be miserable."

Daiyu held her little hand, her eyes were clear and bright, and she was very puzzled, but she nodded hurriedly, that cute and cute appearance made Shui Wanyu laugh down her heart, but on her face she shook her head seriously and said: "Sister-in-law Don't you think it's strange, our Beijing Palace has a big vat, sister-in-law knows what it's for?"

Daiyu shook her head with half-knowledge, and said: "What is this talking about? Why have I never heard of it?" She was thinking about the things in the palace, but she didn't see the movement on Shui Wanyu's face clearly. Tease, and hilarious laughter hidden in the bottom of my heart.

It is rare to see such a clever and dexterous Daiyu, the smile on the corner of Shui Wanyu's mouth could hardly be suppressed, Daiyu felt a little doubtful, and she had put the fan into her sleeve with her slender hands.

"The jar is full of vinegar, and when it's full, it will overflow, and the vinegar will flow continuously, and it will naturally overflow the edge of the jar. Didn't my sister-in-law smell it?"

Hearing what Shui Wanyu said, Daiyu suddenly understood it very well, and gritted her teeth unconsciously, and said bitterly: "Well, you Wanyu, you actually made fun of me, see if I spare you?"

That Shui Wanyu was already prepared. After saying this, she turned around and avoided Daiyu's grasping little hand, giggling constantly, "With that vat of vinegar, sister-in-law, don't worry. You are the only one, Brother Wang would never dare."

"Wanyu, talk again." Daiyu's complexion was ashamed, and she was about to chase after Shui Wanyu.

Seeing their sister-in-law and sister-in-law running to the side one after the other, the queen mother held one hand, stopped their momentum of chasing each other, and said with a smile: "That's all, that's all, I'm becoming more and more children."

After hearing this, Daiyu Wanyu hurriedly straightened the messy hair on her sideburns, lowered her eyebrows and smiled with a bit of embarrassment, blushing, and said, "You made the queen mother laugh."

The Empress Dowager straightened the two silk ribbons in front of Daiyu, looked at her ruddy like peach blossoms in spring with loving eyes, and smiled softly: "Seeing your sisters-in-law so respectful and frolicking, Aijia is relieved." The aunt and sister-in-law are the most at odds, and Beijing Palace is a great exception. Daiyu can feel at ease because of the friendship between Shui Wanyu and Shui Wanyu.

Shui Wanyu leaned close to the queen mother, blinked her bright eyes, and said with her small chin: "Could it be that the queen mother is still afraid that I will bully my sister-in-law?"

The queen mother glared at Shui Wanyu, and said: "You have such a carefree temper, the Ai family is naturally worried. Fortunately, that child Rong'er is very stable, and it is good for Yu'er, otherwise how can the Ai family feel at ease? Yu'er But the granddaughter of Aijia."

Hearing the Empress Dowager mentioned Shui Rong, her face was flushed with blush, Daiyu couldn't restrain the sweet smile in her heart, and seeing the Empress Dowager became more and more happy, pointing to the shade of the plane tree in front of her, she said with a smile: "There But Aijia's favorite place is shady and there is no heat at all, let's go over there and sit down."

Daiyu and Shui Wanyu looked at each other and smiled, and Shui Wanyu even made a grimace, helping the queen mother from left to right to walk towards the big sycamore tree that looked like an umbrella.

Exquisite scenery can be seen everywhere in the imperial garden, and all of them are finely crafted masterpieces. A random place is like a scroll of landscape paintings, which shows the luxury and elegance of the royal family.

A long time ago, Madam De ordered the female officials around her to spread out the embroidered goose-patterned mat, and brought all kinds of pastries and tea. By the time the Queen Mother and the three came, she had already tidied it up and stood beside her with her head bowed.

Mother De took another pair of ebony inlaid silver chopsticks, took a piece of pink pastry and placed it in the yellow glazed blue and white porcelain bowl in front of the Queen Mother, and smiled softly: "This is the peach blossom cake that Princess Yundai ordered to be made. Where is your old lady, Queen Mother?"

After hearing this, the queen mother looked at the pink pastry with great interest, took a bite, the creamy and sweet taste had a hint of peach blossom fragrance, she praised and smiled: "It really tastes good, it's hard to be jaded." How did you come up with it, it's really Hui Zhilan's heart."

After hearing this, Shui Wanyu hurriedly took a piece and stuffed it into her mouth. The melt-in-the-mouth taste made her inarticulately admire: "It's really good, sister-in-law, where did you come up with this idea?"

The queen mother pointed at Shui Wanyu's mouth full of peach blossom cakes, and couldn't help laughing out loud: "Look, this Wanyu is getting more and more organized, but it's only serious to learn from your sister-in-law."

Shui Wanyu picked up the tea bowl and rushed down the peach blossom cake in her mouth. At this moment, she felt a little embarrassed, and coquettishly pulled the Queen Mother's arm and said, "Mother Queen Mother, although sister-in-law is your granddaughter, you can't be so big-eyed, can you?"

Daiyu pursed her lips, took the peach blossom cake in front of Wanyu, looked at her pretty eyes lightly, raised her head high, and snorted, "I still remember what sister Wanyu said. Now it's like this Say, this peach blossom cake is not for you to eat."

That Shui Wanyu got up in a hurry to beg for forgiveness, and said with a smile: "Good sister-in-law, just forgive me this time, and I won't dare to do it again in the future."

Daiyu tilted her head and smiled, put the blue and white porcelain plate in front of Shui Wanyu, and said with a smile: "Forget it, I will reward you with this." After speaking, she couldn't help laughing, seeing Shui Wanyu's angry face made the empress dowager lean back and forth with a smile.

"Give this peach blossom cake to the three concubines in the palace and taste this rare and excellent product together." After hearing this, Nade Madam took the order, and ordered the maids beside her to go to the imperial dining room to fetch the peach blossom cake and give it to them go.

Daiyu smiled faintly, and didn't say anything. She only looked at Shui Wanyu's devouring appearance, and couldn't help pursing her lips and chuckling: "Wanyu, it seems like our family doesn't give you half of the food."

Shui Wanyu swallowed the peach cake in her mouth, looked embarrassingly at the embarrassing expressions of the empress dowager and Daiyu, rolled her eyes, pouted her red lips, stood up and patted Daiyu's shoulder, winking and said: "Empress dowager, you I don’t know, at home, Brother Wang holds his sister-in-law in his palm, and it’s pretty good for me to be full. Yeah.”

Her arm was swung away by Daiyu, seeing that Daiyu was about to hit her, she yelled, and hurriedly backed away, ran to the side of the lotus pond, and laughed while running: "Sister-in-law, you still stay with the empress dowager." Well, the sun is so hot that your body can't bear it."

Seeing Shui Wanyu's cute appearance, the queen mother couldn't help laughing, and there was no one around. It's really rare for a little girl like them to behave like this, but she let them make trouble and didn't stop her.

Seeing the connivance and pampering of the Empress Dowager, Mother De stepped forward and laughed in a low voice: "Looking at Princess Yundai's character as a child, it's just that Prince Beijing's family loves her."

The queen mother responded in a low voice when she heard this, covered the complicated look in her eyes, raised her head and sighed: "I like these two children, Rong'er and Yu'er very much, but it's just that." With a light sigh, she added: "There is nothing in this world. It's hard to tell what the Ai family owed them in the future, and the Ai family has to make up for it."

Mother De didn't know what to say when she heard this, she just responded and ordered the maids standing in the distance to find their aunts and sisters-in-law, don't run too far away.

"Ah, quick, quick, come here." Suddenly, Shui Wanyu's call came from the side of the lotus pond, the queen mother was startled, and hurriedly rushed to the lotus pond with Nanny De's hand.

Seeing the scene in front of her, the Empress Dowager's face turned pale immediately, she saw Daiyu hanging in the air, as if she had fallen from the stone bridge, only Shui Wanyu was holding her arm tightly.

Seeing such a situation, Nanny De hurried forward to help Shui Wanyu hold Daiyu's wrist. The queen mother stared at the frightened eunuch and said angrily, "What are you standing here for? Hurry up." Rescue Princess Yundai? If something goes wrong, Aijia will kill you."

The eunuch by the pool immediately scrambled and crawled to the side of the stone bridge, and several eunuchs who knew how to swim rushed into the water to support Daiyu, and finally rescued Daiyu.

Daiyu was frightened, her face turned pale, her pale face was mixed with blue, Shui Wanyu saw this, she hurriedly put her arms around Daiyu's neck, and whimpered softly: "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, never mind!"

At this moment, Daiyu just felt that her three souls and seven souls had returned to her place, and she caressed her chest with trembling little hands, unconsciously a little teardrop stained her face and fell on Wanyu's neck.

The queen mother held Daiyu tremblingly, and said anxiously: "How is Yu'er? Where is the injury?" Seeing the anxious face of the queen mother, Daiyu's pale face forced a little smile, took a deep breath and finally calmed down. He took a breath and forced a smile: "Don't worry, the queen mother, Daiyu is fine."

Mother De, who was on the side, was waiting for the eunuch and maid who was kneeling on the ground, and said sharply: "How do you serve Princess Yundai and Princess Dingping? If they are hurt a little, how many do you have?" Do you want to accompany me?"

The court ladies and eunuchs knelt on the ground and shouted for mercy. Seeing that Daiyu was fine, the Empress Dowager stood up coldly, looked straight at Li Xuemei who was standing trembling beside her, and said coldly, "Why are you here?"

When Li Xuemei heard this, she fell to her knees with a plop, bent over and kowtowed and said: "The Queen Mother clearly checked, the concubine originally went to the palace to visit Concubine Li today, and happened to walk into the imperial garden with her sister, it's not like she slipped and didn't know What happened to bumping into Princess Yundai, and I beg the queen mother to spare her life."

Hearing this, Shui Wanyu gritted her teeth angrily, stepped forward and slapped Li Xuemei's delicate face, and said coldly: "My sister-in-law has never had any grievances with you, but you always want to harm her three or five times. What's on your mind?"

Li Xuemei has been married for many days at this time, and the son of the Marquis of Jinxiang treats her with deep affection. Daiyu fell.

Looking up at the empress dowager's gloomy, cold and angry expression, she panicked immediately, and hurriedly looked at Li Xueqing who was standing beside her with her head bowed, and said, "Sister Xueqing, tell me the truth, I'm telling the truth."

Then Li Xueqing stepped forward, knelt down and raised her head and said: "I hope the empress dowager believes that what sister Xuemei said is the truth, we were walking here, but we didn't want sister Xuemei to slip and bump into Princess Beijing. After all, it was because of us at this time that we bluffed Princess Beijing, please punish the Queen Mother."

The queen mother glanced at the two sisters with her cold eyes, looked around, saw the moss beside the stone bridge, thought in her heart, and said coldly for a moment: "What a coincidence, you are doing well, I What on earth did Yu'er provoke you all? All of them have lost the face of Lihou's mansion with their dirty thoughts."

As he spoke, he raised his voice to instruct the servant kneeling beside him, saying: "Those maids and eunuchs who are on duty today are not good for taking care of the master. They can be executed with a staff of [-] slabs. If there are people who ask for forgiveness, they will be doubled." The Queen Mother When the words fell to the ground, the court ladies and eunuchs who kowtowed and begged for mercy fell silent immediately, and let the guard drag them down with tears in their eyes.

Concubine Li, who came to hear the news, saw such a situation with her own eyes. She immediately went up and knelt down and said, "I don't know what happened to the two sisters that made the empress dowager so furious. Please punish the empress dowager. Don't be angry." Hurt your body."

"You are virtuous. As the lord of the first palace, you can't order your family to be an example for the world. Instead, you let your family make troubles in the palace, which almost hurt the granddaughter of the Ai family. Tell me, how do you think this kind of thing should be handled? "

That Concubine Li was prostrate on the ground, not daring to look up at the Queen Mother, her downcast eyes turned ruthless, she turned around and glared at Li Xuemei with stern eyes, "I thought you would be more stable when you marry a human being. I don’t want to continue to be so fussy, since I don’t have a niece like you in the palace in the future, let the Queen Mother deal with it.”

Still kneeling on the ground, weeping in a low voice: "Please forgive me, the empress dowager, Princess Yun Dai, it's my concubine's fault, I shouldn't let this chaotic person enter the palace." At this moment, Li Xuemei who was sitting on the side He stared at Concubine Li dumbfounded, unable to recover for a long while.

Wan Yu supported Daiyu and stood aside, seeing that Concubine Li punishing Li Xuemei, she felt a little angry.

Daiyu looked at Concubine Li's stern and heartless words in shock, she sank her thoughts, and after thinking about it, she was in chaos. It was Li Xuemei who pushed her down, but the astonishment on Li Xuemei's face at that time was not feigned. Unknowingly looking at Li Xueqing who was kneeling behind Li Xuemei, her clear eyes were appreciative.

Walking to the queen mother's side, she tugged at the sleeves of the queen mother, and begged in a low voice: "Grandmother, Daiyu is fine, Mrs. Jinxiang didn't mean to, she also fell out, please forgive her This time."

The Empress Dowager held Daiyu's wrist and leaned beside her, pityingly looked at the unbearable expression on her face, thought for a while, and then saw the strangeness in Daiyu's eyes, then said coldly: "That's all, since it's Princess Yun Dai who is begging for mercy, The Ai family spared your life, but you will not be allowed to enter this palace in the future."

As he spoke, he ordered Dai Gonggong beside him to be fair: "Pass down the decree of mourning the family, that the young lady of Jinxiang Hou's mansion is not allowed to step into the imperial palace and Beijing Wangfu from now on. Concubine Li is not in charge of her family. The son will be punished for three months as a warning."

After thinking for a while, he said: "This Marquis of Jinxiang is a member of the imperial court. You have invited the emperor for this decree, so you say it is the meaning of Aijia."

"It's appropriate for the queen mother to deal with her body in this way. You don't need to ask me for instructions. You can deal with it later when you have your own mother." While speaking, Shuichen Shuirong and Shuihan Shuiyan had already walked over quickly.

Shui Rong didn't care about the courtesy of the emperor and his ministers, strode over the Shui Chen and walked to Daiyu, seeing Daiyu's pale face full of tears, all kinds of pity surged in his heart.

Holding her little hand distressedly, looking at the blood-stained scratches on it, he held her hand in the palm of his heart distressedly, and said in a low voice: "Dai'er." Daiyu's slender hands have never had such scratches, look at her Frowning slightly, Shui Rong even felt a touch of regret that couldn't be calmed down.

Shui Yan looked at Shui Rong and Daiyu with deep eyes, and hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down and said, "Father, Princess Yundai is safe and sound. Although sister Xuemei is extremely reckless, please forgive me and spare Xue." Sister Mei."

Shui Chen rubbed the center of his brows, looked at Shui Rong Daiyu, saw the almost uncontrollable anger on Shui Rong's face, and hurriedly said: "Rong'er, you can accompany Yun Dai back to the mansion first. I will order Liu Dexi to send you off." The best medicine for golden sores in Ouchi is in the past."

Hearing this, Shui Rong gave Li Xuemei and Li Xueqing a cold look, and carefully walked out of the imperial garden with Daiyu's slender waist in his arms.

Seeing the three of them leave, Shui Chen looked at Shui Yan with cold eyes, and said lightly: "Forget it, Yan'er, help your mother and concubine to get up. Since the empress dowager is the one to decide this matter, I will leave it alone for the time being." Forgive you, you go."
