Dream of the Red Chamber: Rong Dai

Hearing this, Daiyu paused with the hand holding the ivory comb, frowned and pondered for a moment, and gradually connected yesterday's fragments together, she immediately turned cold with a brisk smile on her brow, with the coldness of autumn water on her face, and said softly: "Come here! As the saying goes, 'It's not that one family does not enter one family', she has such a scheming and good luck, how can she know that it's not her karma?" Say it, and don't say more.

After tidying up her clothes and getting up gracefully, Chun Xian hurriedly took the cloak and tied it up with Daiyu, then saw Shui Rong walked in, looked at each other with a smile, and carried them out of Yilan Courtyard, leaving the mansion for the palace.

Last night, the torrential rain and strong winds blew away so many red and green fruits, and how many fallen branches were lightly damaged.

Albizia juliensis fell into the mud all over the place.

Looking at the branches again, the cages are like hazy haze, hazy and boundless smoke, it is so lively, and unexpectedly a trace of sadness stains my heart.

Leaning on the promenade of Fengzao Palace, Yuan Chun caressed his swollen belly, his bright and beautiful face was yellow and swollen, he held a branch of silk juniper in his hand, and smiled wryly.

The most indispensable thing in the Zilai Palace is the beauty of beauty. Today the branches are in full bloom, and tomorrow the storm will blow in, and they will be crushed and ashes in an instant, trampling in the mud.The latecomers live on the top of the blooming branches, and the flowering branches will eventually fall when you look at them.

"Mother, Princess Chengyang is here!" Baoqin's low and soft voice came from behind, and she stepped forward to help Yuan Chun walk carefully to the main hall of Fengzao Palace.

After waiting to sit down, he raised his eyes and said with a smile, "Princess Chengyang, get up! We are sisters, why should we be so courteous?" Tan Chun thanked him and got up, but there was a bitter taste in the corner of his mouth.

sisters?Yes, they are the closest sisters in terms of blood.

Baoqin personally held the handful of snow tea bowls and handed them to Tanchun. There were green tea leaves floating in the greasy white porcelain, and there was a little emerald green heart in the cleanness. In Tanchun's eyes, he smiled wryly. He never drank the tea. He just said thank you and sat down silently.

Concubine Yuan had a panoramic view of Tanchun's expression, but her clear and flowing eyes could not hide the pain.

"Although my younger sister changed her marriage to General Murong this time, she is also the wife of a general who is under one person and more than ten thousand people in Dongying. If my younger sister can live happily in this way for a long time, I, as an older sister, can feel at ease." Being called her own sister, Tanchun sighed more and more deeply, I am afraid that today's summoning is not ordinary.

Concubine Yuan looked at Baoqin, Baoqin nodded knowingly, and led the maids and eunuchs out of the palace to wait outside the gate.

"When I left the mansion some days ago, my younger sister was just learning how to speak next to my wife. When I saw you again, she had already become a slim young girl." Paused, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with an embroidered handkerchief, and sighed softly: " I know that you have always been the strongest, and among the few sisters, you are the only one with high ambitions, unlike the two younger sisters."

Hearing these words, Tanchun could probably guess what Concubine Yuan meant, so he sighed lightly, looked down at the brocade trousers on his body, and didn't reply.

Seeing that Tanchun remained silent, Concubine Yuan felt a little anxious, and said: "Now my sister only asks you to watch your wife raise you up, please ask Prince Beijing to let mother out? She has already It is an old man who is dying, how many days can he live for no matter how serious his crime is?"

Tanchun was startled when he heard this, and looked quietly at the green leaves outside the window. After a long while, he lowered his head and sighed: "The filial piety of the imperial concubine Yuan, Tanchun is really ashamed. However, the empress should also know that the crime committed by the wife , the people in the mansion were not affected that day, the emperor's favor is already great, Princess Yundai, Prince Beijing is kind, how can I say anything more at this time?"

"Sister and Concubine Beijing are deeply in love with each other, and they are sisters who grew up in the same family. Could it be that Princess Beijing can't solve this problem?" Concubine Yuan's words were quite urgent, making Tanchun look up The imperial concubine Yuan glanced at her with a clear glance, and said with a slight smile: "The concubine Yuan is too eager! Tanchun was born in the arms of my aunt and raised by my wife's side. I am really grateful to my wife. It's just that there are still people in this world. How can the way of justice and the reward of good and evil be stopped by indulgence and presumptuousness?"

Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Xing's end today is actually more of her own fault. Thinking about Daiyu's words that day, it was like a blow to the head. Thousands of thoughts gathered in her heart, and she became more and more aware of some things.

Concubine Yuan was startled when she heard this, she became more and more powerless, her eyes were full of tears, no matter who Madam Wang is her mother, no one can find out about her in prison now, All I know is that she didn't die.

I wanted to explore the spring and asked Shui Rong Daiyu to forgive me, but now it seems that it is not the case.

"Concubine Li is here." The eunuch's slender voice announced from outside the palace gate, causing Concubine Yuan to panic immediately. She hurriedly helped Baoqin who rushed in, greeted the door, and said with a smile: "See Pass by Sister Concubine Li."

Concubine Li smiled and nodded in response, her pair of sharp phoenix eyes glanced at Tanchun who was saluting in front of her, looked her up and down, but never let Tanchun get up, she just looked at Concubine Yuan with a smile and said: "Sister Yuanfei's body The heavier you are, the more polite you are, you should take good care of your own bones."

Talking and looking at Tanchun who was still kneeling on the ground, he said with a smile: "I was actually looking after my sister Yuanfei, but I forgot about the Princess Chengyang. Get up and sit down."

When Tanchun came to Xie, he sat down in the seat he had just taken, and remained silent with his brows held together and his breath held.

Concubine Li looked at Tanchun with half-smile eyes, and said with a tsk-tsk smile: "No wonder, it is often said that your Jia family is the most beautiful, but it is not always true? The younger sister of Concubine Yuan is a gorgeous peony flower. Princess Chengyang is the rose, and Princess Beijing is so beautiful that all the flowers and branches in the world wither, you can see what kind of fertile soil is in your mansion to raise such an outstanding daughter."

People can't pick out the slightest fault with the lightly sarcastic words, on the contrary, they have to smile to thank Concubine Li for her praise.

Concubine Yuan smiled faintly, and said: "Sister Concubine Li praised you! The sisters in the Fuzhong are just like this, so don't fall into the eyes of Sister Li Concubine."

Concubine Li glanced at Concubine Yuan with a half-smile, her phoenix eyes were sharp and pungent, she stroked the golden silk peony on her sleeve, and said: "Sister Yuan Concubine is wrong, if she doesn't have such beauty like a flower, How could they find a good husband one by one? Let General Murong fall in love at first sight?"

Concubine Yuan immediately became angry when she heard this, thinking that Li Xueqing went out to play yesterday, she was too drunk to have an affair with that eldest grandson Wuyong, and let the dignitaries of the restaurant, merchants and rich people really witness it, it can be described as a scandal for a while. All over the capital.

Overnight, the Li Mansion became a topic of ridicule, and Concubine Li lost all face in the palace.Fortunately, Li Xueqing was as gorgeous as a flower, and the eldest grandson was obsessed with seeing it, so he asked Shui Chen to marry Li Xueqing.

After thinking about it, I'm afraid I have no place to go today, and I'll take her here to break my temper, and I'll underestimate her too much, and think of myself as the queen of the palace too much, so I smiled lightly and said: "These few in my sister's family Although the sisters are not as good-looking as Miss Li, they are dignified and steady, and although they are not as good as Yi An, they are also the best daughters in the world, aren't they?"

When Concubine Li heard this, the hairpin on her head swayed angrily, but she couldn't hold Concubine Yuan's handle. Seeing her holding up a teacup to drink tea, she barely suppressed her anger. Concubine Yuan, who entered the palace later, was on an equal footing and had long been dissatisfied.

She wholeheartedly wanted to climb to the position of Empress of the Central Palace, but Shui Chen had been ambiguous and put her in an embarrassing situation. Now Shui Yanfang is able to take charge of her own work, has done a lot of errands for Shui Chen, has been appreciated, and is waiting for an opportunity , but was completely destroyed by Li Xuemei and Li Xueqing.

The two of them have become her painful feet, now being mentioned by Concubine Yuan like this, she feels more and more angry, but it is inconvenient to attack, so she can only swallow the anger secretly, and look at Concubine Yuan's palace with gloomy eyes. Incense burner for a long time.

"Sister Yuanfei is very eloquent. No wonder the emperor promoted you as a noble concubine back then. It can be seen that you are also a wonderful person with a good tongue."

Concubine Yuan smiled, and said: "Sister Li Concubine, I don't like to hear these words. I think who can not be young? If you are young, you should accept your fate. Which one is not the best of the future? From a smart and smart daughter's family?"

It was said that Concubine Li was getting old, so Concubine Li stood up suddenly, stared at Concubine Yuan coldly for a long time, and then said coldly: "I hope that Concubine Yuan can stay with the emperor for a long time." Yes, it will also benefit you in the future."

Concubine Yuan brought a bowl of tea to Concubine Li, and said with a smile, "Sister Concubine Li, what's wrong? We're just doing normal things, so why be so angry?"

Concubine Li nodded with a smile when she heard this, and said: "Sister is here to see you, after all, you are in the harem to handle palace affairs, after all, you are not as free as your sister. It is rare that you have time, so you come to have a look."

"It's hard to bother my sister. My sister has worked hard for the emperor in charge of the harem affairs. How can my sister bother my sister to come here?"

Concubine Li held Concubine Yuan's hand with a pleasant smile, and said with a smile: "My sister's words are over, since the emperor likes to see harmony in the harem, wouldn't it be good for us sisters to work together to tidy up the harem? " Concubine Yuan smiled when she heard this.

Looking at Tanchun, Concubine Li took a pair of red gold necklaces inlaid with agate and turquoise and Tanchun beside her, and said with a smile: "I don't often see Princess Chengyang when I come here. Since I met you today, it's a must." Please ask Princess Chengyang to accept a small gift."

Tanchun looked at Concubine Li's sudden change of attitude in astonishment, and was stunned a little uncomfortable, but immediately ordered the maid next to him with a smile to take the wreath, and said, "Thank you, Concubine Li, Madam Chengyang." .”

Concubine Li nodded and said: "In the future, when you marry in Dongying, even though you are only the general's wife, you still have the mission of our heavenly court to marry each other. Don't forget the covenant between the two countries, and we must help you Your queen is." Tanchun only smiled and nodded in response.

After talking and laughing for a while, she told Concubine Yuan some things to be careful about when she was pregnant. Then she got up and said, "If sister Concubine Yuan and Princess Chengyang are fine, I will follow my palace. I heard that Concubine Beijing entered the palace early this morning In the palace, she is in front of the Empress Dowager, between you sisters, going to see her will make the Empress Dowager happy."

Concubine Yuan already had a plan in mind when she heard this, she got up and said with a smile: "I haven't greeted the queen mother for many days, so I just go with my sister. Chengyang, you come with me too."

Tan Chunying got up, bowed her knees, and said: "Cheng Yang just came out of the Palace of Compassion and Ning, and has already resigned as the Empress Dowager and wants to go back to the mansion, so she can't accompany the two empresses."

Concubine Yuan's eyes dimmed, but Concubine Li glanced at it as if there was nothing there, and said with a smile: "In that case, then Cheng Yang will go back first." He walked out of the palace gate with Concubine Yuan's hand, Then he sat on the phoenix chariot and went straight to the Compassion Palace.

When I arrived at the Deci Ning Palace, I saw the Empress Dowager sitting on a red sandalwood inlaid mother-of-pearl white osmanthus branch-like step with Daiyu. At that time, the smile overflowed from time to time, and it could be seen that the Empress Dowager was in a very comfortable mood.

Seeing Concubine Li and Concubine Yuan come in, the Empress Dowager beckoned them to come forward, and said with a smile, "Why are you here? Concubine Yuan is heavy, and you should be bothering about things at the same time, but you are busy alone. idle?"

Concubine Li hurriedly bowed her head when she heard this, but she immediately lowered her head and sighed: "It's all due to the lack of strict family education in the concubine's family. It's just that these two shameless daughters came out of the family. Now that the emperor's grace is so great, the eldest grandson Guojun is also the same. The true temperament of love and righteousness will not let her fall to the unbearable situation."

The Empress Dowager waved her hands indifferently, and said indifferently: "It is not Concubine Li's fault to lose morality after drinking, and to lose all manners, righteousness and shame. Now that I am making up for my mistakes and marrying myself to Dongying, I have done my part for our Celestial Dynasty. This matter will be left alone."

Concubine Li replied with a thousand thanks, and just raised her head to accompany her with a smile and said, "The empress dowager is kind, I want to ask the empress dowager to show me, is the marriage between the two of them safe?" He said and presented a brochure , the rules of wedding etiquette are carefully recorded on it, and all kinds of dowry items are never favored one over another, only that Li Xueqing is only a little thicker after being Dongying Future.

The queen mother nodded with satisfaction, looked up at Concubine Li without a trace, and said with a smile: "Concubine Li is taking care of the affairs of the harem more and more properly. It is."

Concubine Li was overjoyed when she heard this, but her face remained calm, she said in a low voice: "It is a great blessing for my concubine to be able to share the worries of the Emperor and Empress Dowager, I dare not ask for too much."

Daiyu glanced at Concubine Li and Concubine Yuan indifferently. Since she saluted, she sat in the position slightly lower than the Queen Mother, and looked at Concubine Yuan's eyes looking forward as if she was looking forward to it, but she was calm and quiet. sit still.

Thinking about Li Xueqing's vicious trick yesterday, if it wasn't for Shui Rong who could see through her trick first, I'm afraid today will be the day when she loses her innocence and hangs herself by hanging herself. Such a vicious heart made Daiyu secretly startled, But he became more and more indifferent, and no longer softened his heart for those who deserved what they deserved.

Seeing Daiyu's suddenly condensed face, Concubine Yuan's heart skipped a beat, she looked up and down for a long time, she squirmed her lips several times, but in the end she didn't say a word.

Seeing that the Empress Dowager and Concubine Li were discussing something, Daiyu stood up and bowed down, saying: "The Empress Dowager's grandmother and Concubine Li have something to discuss, Daiyu is inconvenient here, so I will take my leave first."

The queen mother nodded with a smile, and ordered the mother beside her, and said with a smile: "You personally sent Yun Dai to the prince of Beijing, and took good care of her. The Ai family doesn't want to see any incidents."

The warning words made Concubine Li burst into cold sweat immediately, thinking that Li Xueqing was in Chengxia Palace at this time, and it was hard to keep her clean, so she hurriedly lowered her eyes to look at the big court lady Cui Yu beside her, and Cui Yu nodded. Nodding, he retreated without a trace.

Walking out of the Palace of Compassion and Ning, the imperial garden is full of purples and reds. She looks at the mandarin ducks in the distance with a smile, and smiles faintly. The mandarin ducks come in pairs. Three wives and four concubines, only the white prime minister who lost the mandarin duck.

"Princess Yun Dai is very elegant." The voice from behind made Daiyu frown, with a cold expression, she only looked at the willow branches hanging down to the ground, and didn't want to pay attention to them.

Mother De took a look at Li Xueqing, her face was as pale as paper and her eyes were red, she seemed to have stayed up all night, with only a bun on her head, she had a cowardly posture.

The green dress floated with the breeze and gave off a faint fragrance, and the long tassels in her hair hung by her ears, shaking a brilliant light, and said lightly: "Miss Li, what else can I do?"

At this time, Li Xueqing felt more and more hatred and anger in her heart. She only looked at Daiyu's indifferent back, her waist was as slender as a willow, and she seemed to be unable to grasp it, so she smiled lightly: "Mother De, I have a few words to say to you." Princess Bei Jing asks, can Mother De take a few steps back?"

Sister De shook her head, sleeved her hands and said in a low voice: "The Empress Dowager ordered the servants to serve Princess Beijing well. The servants dare not be negligent in the slightest. Please forgive me, Miss Li."

Daiyu came back to her senses at this moment, her jade-white face was covered with bright eyes that were as smooth as jade, as cold as a deep pool of water in autumn, she gave Li Xueqing a cold look, and said, "Miss Li, what do you want to say?" It’s okay to talk, my princess still has some free time now. If I don’t say anything, then it’s fine, I don’t want to waste time.”

As he spoke, he looked at Nanny De with a smile and said, "Just don't worry, Mommy, you should take a few steps back and let Miss Li speak clearly." Seeing the smile on Daiyu's face, Nanny De looked at her Situation on all sides, he smiled and said: "Since it is the princess's order, then the old servant will obey the emperor's order." There are eunuchs and maids serving on all sides, and there are guards guarding ten steps away, so he stepped back a few steps in peace .

Watching Nanny De take a few steps back from a distance, Daiyu just turned around and looked at Li Xueqing, she didn't think about it, she didn't have time to speak, she saw Li Xueqing kneeling down, she couldn't help being very surprised, but she didn't bend down to help, just The faint upright figure is there.

"Xueqing doesn't ask Wangfei for anything, but please understand that Xueqing is innocent. How could Xueqing have the intention of poisoning Wangfei? Today Xueqing has fallen to such a point, I just ask Wangfei to help Xueqing intercede. Qing acts like an ox and a horse to serve the Prince and Concubine of Beijing."

"Have you poisoned your mind? I think everyone knows it well. Don't you think it's very funny to say this now?"

Li Xueqing suffocated when she heard Daiyu's words, and immediately knelt down and cried: "Princess, please go and beg the emperor, Xueqing's thoughts are not on that, not to mention, nothing happened yesterday." , Prince Beijing also understands this matter."

Daiyu looked at Li Xueqing coldly, and said: "I don't know if the lord knows, but I don't know. I just persuaded Miss Li in vain. Regardless of whether anything happened to you, the matter between you and the king of Dongying has been settled. Do you think there is room for regret?"

Li Xueqing immediately got up from the ground when she heard these words, her miserable face was stained with tears, she cried softly, "Is the princess really so hard-hearted?"

Daiyu looked at her pretentious appearance amusedly, and became more and more bored, then said coldly: "Didn't you hear the lesson from the past? With the lesson from the past, if you fall to the same place again, then the princess is really stupid and hopeless Medicine. Why is Miss Li wasting time and begging for mercy like this? You are going to do something you know you can’t do, and you know what you have in mind. "

Hearing what Daiyu said, Li Xueqing got up immediately, looked at Daiyu coldly, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said: "I have always heard that Princess Beijing is unfeeling to everyone in the Jia family. See you. Do you think that if you marry me to Dongying, you will be able to monopolize the prince of Beijing? How can a man like the prince of Beijing be monopolized by a jealous woman like you? One day I will regret you Today's words?"

Li Xueqing's ferocious face, which was almost out of control, was extremely terrifying, but Daiyu didn't take a step back, staring at Li Xueqing with her cold eyes for a moment, and said lightly: "I hope Miss Li can see that day coming. I have to invite more seats for Ms. Li, so I wish you such a clever plan."

Wonderful eyes turned lightly, Gu Pan Shenfei was full of sarcasm, and said: "Usually, he is the most gentle and gentle person, but he doesn't know that the needle hidden in the cotton has evil intentions, and the disguise is really good. This princess is willing to bow down."

Let's talk, the hem of the skirt fluttered, Yingying turned around, leaving the resentful Li Xueqing behind, walked two steps, then turned around and smiled: "I have two words for the girl, it may not be good to be too clever after all the tricks. Be smart and think others are ignorant and foolish, but the most foolish person is yourself.”

Having said all that, she no longer turned around to look at Li Xueqing's livid face that must have been devastated, walked up to Mother De, and said with a smile: "Let's go, Mother."

Sister De responded, and was about to help Daiyu turn around and walk forward, but saw Shui Rong standing among the flowers, looking at Daiyu with a smile on her face.

Daiyu didn't notice the glow on her face, she stepped forward and took Shui Rong's big hand, and said with a smile, "Brother Rong, why are you here?"

Mother De breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Shui Rong, and said with a smile: "This old servant has fulfilled the Queen Mother's orders, and the prince, concubine, and old servant will resign."

Shui Rong looked at Dai Yu affectionately with eyes full of doting, softened his face more and more, and only smiled softly: "My Dai'er has grown up." How unhappy can he trust him so much?Keeping the clouds open to see the moon, Daiyu grew up bit by bit, which made him feel at ease.
