Dream of the Red Chamber: Rong Dai

The green and quiet Taiye Lake blows away some of the summer heat, and the dark clouds cover half of the sky. They are dressed in green shirts, with black hair like clouds, inscriptions of pearls and emerald greens, and the fragrant wind of silk fans blows into the lake with the wind. Among the green leaves and pink lotus, half the sky is covered.

Daiyu sat quietly at the side, shaking her fan, leaning on the beauty's bed, holding a willow branch full of green leaves, swaying the clear water and clear waves, which made the koi swim up to snatch the willow branch, but it was true. Throwing Daiyu the willow branch into the pool.

Chunxian, who was serving at the side, served the decoction and Daiyu for escaping the summer heat, looked at the koi carp with its mouth open in the pond, pursed its mouth and said with a light smile: "The princess is here to mess with this koi carp. I'm afraid it's hot in this hot day. The court ladies and eunuchs who feed them will also be lazy, looking at the willow branches in the hands of the princess, thinking they are only delicious fish food."

Daiyu only looked at the ripples of the koi below, and said with a faint smile: "Who can say that they can't find food when they are so free and easy? They just play with us according to our temperament. That's all."

Everything in the world has a spirit, and only because human beings are the spirit of all things, can they take advantage of the time and place. If the position is changed, in her opinion, it is not as free and easy as this koi!

There are too many last resorts and too many unsatisfactory things in the world.No matter how much resistance there is, it will eventually be submerged in the layers of etiquette and reason. A little bit of protest is like a mans arm blocking a car, a drop in the bucket!With his hands folded and resting on the railing, a hint of helplessness permeated between his brows.

Seeing Daiyu's sudden appearance in confusion, Chunxian put down the tray in her hand, looked at Xueyan who was also puzzled with questioning eyes, but couldn't understand after all, so she looked at Daiyu and said softly: "What's wrong with the princess? When I came out of the East Palace, I saw that you were depressed."

Daiyu shook her head lightly, the pity in her heart was finally suppressed in her heart, she said with a faint smile, "I was only thinking about the difficulties of women in the world. Being a woman is difficult, and it is even more difficult being a woman around a powerful person. "

It is necessary to keep a vat of jealousy, to maintain the restraint and self-control of being a woman, and to be virtuous and take concubines for her husband to prolong the heirs. If you want to enter the door, let alone as a noble royal family in the world?Prince East Palace?

It was only three months after Shui Han and Sang Qingyan got married, and Shui Chen gave Shui Han the daughter of Wei Ruomei, the daughter of the Hanlin University scholar, and Feng Ziyuan, the daughter of the first-rank Zhenguo General, as side concubines, second only to the Crown Princess Sang Qingyan. .

When I saw Sang Qingyan when I entered the palace today, I was shocked by the haggard paleness on her face, the repressed dissatisfaction and sadness, and I had to put on the solemnity and calmness of being a princess to arrange the two side concubines properly. .It's like, who can push their husband into the arms of other women without any grievances?

But this is what Sang Qingyan has to do, and it is also her difficulty!All things can only be hidden in her heart, who can relieve the pain in her heart?

Newlyweds re-entered the East Palace after three months of marriage, and Shui Chen's thoughts on protecting Shui Han were more delicate, and I'm afraid it would make those people think about it even more.

"Princess Beijing is so elegant. This is really a good place to escape the summer heat and enjoy the lotus." The soft and laughing voice made Daiyu, who was leaning on the railing, frowned immediately. I saw Concubine Yuan leading Jiamu Youshi Fengjieer and Xichun outside the Qixia Pavilion.

Holding Chunxian's hand to stand up, she said with a faint smile, "Why did the concubine Yuan come here? Didn't the empress dowager grandmother say that you were raising a baby in the palace?"

Concubine Yuan supported her round belly, supported Jiamu and Youshi's hands and walked to the Qixia Pavilion with difficulty, and said with a gentle smile: "I just came out because I was happy to see my family today." Let's go, didn't we meet Princess Beijing?"

Daiyu glanced at Jiamu lightly, and sat quietly on the original seat. Jiamu and the others helped Concubine Yuan to sit down, and hurriedly wanted to salute Daiyu. Daiyu raised her hand, and Chunxian came forward knowingly. , helped Jia's mother to stand up and sat on the stone bench in the pavilion, and said indifferently: "Mrs. Jia is old, and she is the wife of the Duke, so there is no need to be so polite. Please sit down."

Mother Jia was delighted to see that Daiyu had never received her gift, but she didn't expect Daiyu to speak in such a cold and indifferent tone, she felt a pain in her heart, and she couldn't help saying: "Yu'er."

Hearing this familiar voice, Daiyu's heart turned a lot, but finally turned into a soft sigh, she stood up gracefully and said: "Don't disturb the imperial concubine Yuan to enjoy the lotus to cool off, I'm going to the empress dowager's grandmother's palace to pay her respects, please stay with me .”

Seeing that Daiyu didn't see Mother Jia in her eyes, Concubine Yuan felt a little embarrassed, she hurriedly got up, and said with a smile, "Princess Beijing, why is she in such a hurry? I just came from the Empress Dowager's palace, and the Empress Dowager is taking a nap. , Princess don't need to go in such a hurry."

After hearing this, Daiyu sneered in her heart, the queen mother took a nap?Presumably, he made some inquiries, but today he was using the pretense of a chance encounter, since his temperament has not changed at all.

Seeing that Daiyu stopped, Concubine Yuan had a smile on her lips, she stepped forward and sat down with Daiyu on her arm, and said with a smile: "We have finally met, why should Princess Beijing refuse to be seen thousands of miles away?" ?”

Daiyu quietly raised her eyebrows and looked at Concubine Yuan, but she didn't intend to speak. She only glanced at Xichun with her clear and bright eyes, but she saw that Xichun's usually clear eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of misty lightness. It was like fog, and it seemed that the focus of the eyes was not there.

Concubine Yuan looked at Daiyu's eyes on Xichun, and her pitiful eyes were also looking at Xichun, her words contained too much pity and pity, she sobbed softly: "Fourth younger sister is suddenly ill, No matter how many imperial doctors I have visited, I can't see it well. The day before yesterday, that skinny monk came to the mansion and said that the fourth younger sister had collided with the water god, and it can only be resolved when there are people with two trees facing the water. No shame, I brought my fourth younger sister to the inner courtyard of the deep palace, only hoping for a solution."

Concubine Yuan's sizing eyes fell on Daiyu's indifferent face, but she saw the concern and regret in Daiyu's eyes, she wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes with an embroidered handkerchief, and said: "The words of the scorpion monk are true." It's unbelievable, it's just been so long, and I don't see anything good about the fourth sister, so I came here with this helpless method."

Looking at Daiyu with expectant eyes, but seeing Daiyu's suddenly condensed eyes, she was terrified.

After hearing this, Daiyu got up coldly, her faint eyes saw clearly the expressions on everyone's faces, but she saw something strange in Sister Feng's eyes, she immediately understood, and said lightly: "Since Miss Si is the young lady of your residence, , Naturally, you can do whatever you want, why do you have to say it to an outsider like me?"

After listening to Daiyu's words, Jia's mother's complexion changed greatly, and she couldn't sit still immediately. Huo got up, sat down slowly again, and sighed with tears in her eyes: "My four girls are so pitiful, thinking of her sisters They went away one by one, and she was the only one left by my side, and she looks like this now, how can I live my whole life with my heart?"

Seeing Jia's mother crying, Sister Feng and Youshi hurriedly stepped forward to comfort Jia's mother in a low voice, and Youshi raised his eyes with a half-pleading taste, "I beg the princess to look at the old lady for her age. Anyway, let's see if we can save the fourth sister, and let the old man feel relieved."

"Anyway, the princess used to be a girl in our mansion, the granddaughter of the old lady's direct relative. How can we abandon the fourth sister? What is the antidote? I ask the princess to weigh it in her heart. If we can solve the conflict between the fourth sister and us I will always keep the kindness of the princess in my heart." Sister Feng suddenly spoke, and her sharp words penetrated into Daiyu's heart through the lotus leaf breeze.

Hearing this, Daiyu smiled coldly, looked at the satisfied smile on Jiamu's face, and said sharply: "Is this the girl in your house? Theoretically, you are my blood relatives, but this blood relatives." It's not as close as someone without blood relationship, so what if it's relatives? It's just hurting others and hurting oneself, so this kind of relationship is not worth it." As he said that, he wanted to leave the Qixia Pavilion with his sleeves.

Seeing this, Jia's mother hurriedly pulled Sister Feng to kneel in the pavilion, blocking Daiyu's way, bowed her head and cried, "If Lin girl still resented my grandmother's cruelty back then, my grandmother would regret it now! You and Baoyu had a relationship that day. mutual affection."

"Old lady Jia, the concubine treats you as an old man and gave you three points of face, but you are making progress. Have you forgotten the lesson of Xue Baochai that day?" Chun Xian, who had been standing aside, couldn't hold back anymore. Hearing Jia Mu's words became more and more unbearable, and suddenly there was an inextinguishable cold anger.

Daiyu stood there coldly, with her indifferent and noble demeanor, Mu Jia, who was looking up, lowered her head unconsciously, and cried on the ground, "It's my negligence. It's just that I only have Baoyu and Siyatou by my side now. How about asking the concubine to save her?" Mother Jia judged the situation wisely, no longer invited her with the so-called family affection, and only spoke in the capacity of the princess and the wife of the Principality.

"Theoretically, you also worshiped me as a princess bestowed by the sage. I have nothing to be ashamed of. It's just that Mrs. Jia kept saying that I wanted my princess to save her, but I don't know how capable this princess is. Fourth girl's?" Daiyu's indifferent eyes drifted to Qinghe, who was swaying in the distance, her light flower language was sharp and indifferent.

When Jia Mu heard this, she suffocated her nose, and then she was a little stunned and couldn't speak. After a long time, she cried: "The monk said that he is a person with two trees facing the water. I think that only the princess has such a person now." Fate. I remember that when your birthday horoscope was delivered that day, the old man calculated: the tree is beautiful in the forest, the source of all things, absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, and the two trees are smart and dexterous, and they will be rich."

After a pause, but did not hear Daiyu's response, Mother Jia swallowed her saliva, and said: "The life of the princess is precious, and it is moistened by the water of the Prince of Beijing. The old man just let go of his old face and skin and only begged Princess Beijing to bring Si Yatou to the mansion for a while, if it is really bad."

"If it's really bad, so what?" Daiyu suddenly laughed mockingly, and her cold voice seemed to have cooled down a lot from the heat in the pavilion, and said coldly: "If the future is not good, a future The girl who came out of the pavilion lives in Princess Beijing, how dare you ask Mrs. Jia, what kind of statement is she going out? Or is that what you would like to see?"

Concubine Yuan and Mother Jia were shocked when they heard this, and their flickering hearts jumped up and down. After a long while, they turned pale and forced a smile: "Look at what Princess Beijing said? It's just for the sake of the fourth younger sister's recovery, so why would you have such thoughts?"

Daiyu looked back coldly, the condensed smile that was not a smile at the corner of her mouth made Concubine Yuan feel apprehensive, she looked at Daiyu and said, "I don't know why Princess Beijing looks at me like this?"

Daiyu stared at Concubine Yuan steadfastly, and said with a sneer: "If you really want to be safe, the Concubine Yuan should stay in Fengzao Palace to recuperate at this time, so as to keep the nobles in the concubine Yuan's womb safe, right? ? Who will the century-old foundation depend on, I think you should know better in your heart."

Lightly leaning on the mahogany railing of the pavilion, looking at the dragonflies flying in the pond with faint eyes, the faint blue eyebrows seem to move with the dragonflies moving up and down.

Concubine Yuan smiled coldly when she heard Daiyu's words, she could no longer suppress her anger, and said coldly: "Since Princess Beijing is so heartless, then we have nothing to say, we can only hope that Princess Beijing will be in the future." It’s fine, we’re the ones who don’t ask for it.”

Now that Daiyu has spoken to such a heartless point, thinking that Lai Xichun's matter is likely to be impossible, she became more and more cold-hearted, and immediately aroused the jealousy and anger that had been suppressed on weekdays.

Daiyu smiled faintly, raised the corners of her lips with a bit of coldness, and her faint words passed into the ears of Jia Mu and Yuan Concubine coldly, "If you talk about praying in the coming days, Empress Yuan Concubine should also think about it. .Prosperity is bound to decline, which is a big taboo for every long-term wealth and foundation. After all that has been said, the purpose of your mind is already very clear to me. After all, there is no need to say any more. If you say any more, you will become angry from embarrassment and superfluous. "

Concubine Yuan was filled with anger when she heard Daiyu's vigilant words, she got up to suppress her anger, and said with a sneer, "Princess Beijing also forgot, since she is the princess she recognized halfway, naturally she can't compare with that Noble Golden Phoenix, at least this palace is the real descendant of the royal family, if it is true, everyone will not know until the end."

Concubine Yuan's words made Daiyu more suspicious, thinking of the concubine Yuan who never disputed anything in the past, Daiyu became more and more calm and indifferent, lingering all over her body, she just turned away, and didn't even want to answer the conversation.

Chunxian couldn't see it more and more, so she stepped forward and said coldly: "Concubine Yuan should restrain herself when she has something to say. The concubine is Princess Yundai who was appointed by the emperor. Could it be that concubine Yuan is still doubting the will of the queen mother and the emperor?" ? If such disgraceful words are spread, I don’t know how the Concubine Yuan will deal with herself? If it is true that the Concubine Yuan thinks that the nobles in the house are auspicious, she can go to the Queen Mother and the Emperor to make a judgment.”

Concubine Yuan was already furious in her heart at this time, and at this time she was taught by Chunxian again, she trembled all over with anger, pointed at Chunxian and said: "You are just a little girl, you don't have two grades, how dare you Teach me a lesson, come, give me a slap."

The eunuch and maid next to Concubine Yuan came out to hold the qin, seeing this situation, she immediately lowered her head.Who doesn't know that Princess Yundai is extremely favored by the Empress Dowager?If something really happened, it would be their servants who would be punished by then.

Seeing Concubine Yuan trembling with anger, Mother Jia hurriedly supported Concubine Yuan's hand and said, "Concubine Yuan should not be angry, she should take care of the nobles in her belly, there is no need to be so angry."

Concubine Yuan looked at Chunxian coldly for a long while, but she saw a light smile on Chunxian's face, she immediately became angry, looked at Baoqin and said: "Baoqin, you go and teach her, let her understand There are some rules in the palace."

Holding the piano and looking at the furious Concubine Yuan hesitantly, she didn't know what to do. Daiyu quietly turned around and walked to the side of the pavilion, looked at Concubine Yuan coldly, and said: "Who dares to see you in this palace? I just pat your head How many heads are there?"

I have never seen such a cold and stern Daiyu, holding the qin and immediately staying aside, the Yuan Concubine was also startled, and then sneered: "Why? I don't even have the right to teach a slave?"

"If the imperial concubine Yuan wants to show her prestige, she can just go back to your Fengzao Palace, or other court ladies and eunuchs. Although Chunxian is a slave, she is a slave of our Lin family, and she is my Yundai's sister. If Concubine Yuan insists on this, whoever hits her, I will definitely pay back double." At this time, the indifferent water eyes were full of the look of a phoenix, which made everyone feel a little bit tired.

"Concubine Li is here." Suddenly, the eunuch's shrill voice came from the willow forest ten steps away, Concubine Yuan hurriedly suppressed her face in cold anger, and led the crowd to salute and said with a smile: "Sister Li Concubine Auspicious." "Auspicious for Concubine Li."

Concubine Li's narrow phoenix eyes looked at Daiyu who was walking gracefully under the pavilion, and said with a faint smile: "Sister Yuanfei has such an elegant temperament, she actually accompanied Princess Yundai here to enjoy the lotus."

Daiyu bowed her knees slightly to say blessings, and Concubine Li ordered the nurse next to her to help Daiyu up, said with a smile on her face: "Princess Yun Dai is the heart of the Queen Mother and the Emperor, if you are wronged, just tell me, come It is time for this elder, Bengong, to seek justice for you."

Daiyu pursed her lips, and said with a light smile: "Who in this deep palace can give Yun Dai wronged? Don't dare to bother Concubine Li for being so generous."

Seeing the looseness between the eyebrows of Concubine Li and Concubine Yuan, Daiyu instantly understood, no wonder Concubine Yuan seemed to be a different person at this time, it was so.

Concubine Yuan listened to Daiyu's response, and said with a smile: "Sister Concubine Li is telling the truth. I think Princess Yundai is so precious in the palace? Back then, the Queen Mother accepted her as her granddaughter, but how much favor did she do?" Woolen cloth."

Every word of sarcastic words hit Daiyu, making the corners of Concubine Li's mouth curl up, but her mouth was reprimanded, "What did sister Yuanfei say? Now that you are heavy, you should go back to Fengzao Palace to rest. Yes. Princess Yundai is such a beautiful woman, of course someone will cherish her."

He looked at Xichun with a bit of softness in his fierce eyes, looked at him, but didn't say anything, just smiled: "There are still many things that have not been dealt with in this Palace today, and I have to discuss it with Sister Yuanfei." Fan. Say goodbye first, if Princess Yundai is in a good mood, just enjoy the lotus again."

Daiyu nodded slightly, without looking directly at Concubine Yuan, she looked at the group of them in the distance, Daiyu's worried eyes fell on Xichun, she looked at Chunxian and said urgently: "Chunxian, go check it out. What exactly is Sister Xichun?"
