Ten Miles of Spring Breeze in Red Mansions

Lin Daiyu had already had a good night's sleep, and was playing with Lin Jue on the bed, when she heard his voice, she turned her head and showed a bright smile.

"Mingde, you are back." Lin Daiyu smiled, "Mother is here."

"Did you sleep well today?" Yan Ji approached and touched her loose long hair, the silky touch made his heart soften, "I'll go to greet my mother first, and then come to accompany you for dinner."

"I slept pretty well. I'm afraid I won't be able to fall asleep at night." Lin Daiyu kept working her hands, turning out a complicated new pattern. Bright red strings were wrapped around Yubai's fingers, which was beautiful and vivid.

Yan Ji leaned over and kissed her hand, Lin Daiyu complained softly, "You carefully unraveled my flower rope."

Ming Yilan has already moved to the courtyard where Chang usually lived. She was afraid that she would disturb Lin Daiyu if she stayed in the Xici room. When Yan Ji entered the house, the powdered teacups on the ground had not had time to be swept away.

"Mother." Yan Ji smiled slightly.

"You're back." Ming Yilan's hair and clothes were not messed up, but she revealed an indescribably depressed attitude, "You don't need to persuade me, the queen mother has sent a message to reassure me."

Yan Ji knelt down in front of her and rested his head on her knee, "I will definitely pay back ten times and a hundred times the humiliation my mother suffered."

"What they want is not Princess Boping, what they want is Yan Jingshan's wife, and now Khan's eldest son died under your father's hands." Ming Yilan gently touched his son's face, "I'm fine."

Her tears fell, leaving wet marks one after another on the blue Xiang skirt.

"Mingde, since our Ming family founded the Celestial Dynasty, there has been Tatar on the side of the couch. Taizong's third daughter, Princess Yinghua, the Empress Zhangzhu, was only 14 years old when she went to Tatar, and she was only 17 years old when she died. There are countless princesses who have been married. The Empress Dowager said that she hoped that no daughter from the Celestial Dynasty would be given to the grassland as a gift. Maybe in the eyes of men, women are born weak and dependent on others. But girls are also individuals. "Ming Yilan said, "I hope, it's not that there are no candidates for marriage, but that there is no marriage."

Yan Ji raised his head, "Your Majesty has already made preparations for the battle. The Khan of Tatar is old and the princes are constantly fighting. It is a good time."

"Winter is coming, and the Tatars have no food." Ming Yilan raised the corners of his lips, "Compared to the Supreme Emperor, Your Majesty is more suitable for this seat."

Food and salaries have been prepared, although the national treasury is a bit poor, when the Zhen family's property is copied back, it will be able to cover some things, so that they will not be unable to live a new year.

Ming Yao said, "In the past, the Tatars knocked on my Yanmen Pass, and now it is time for me to pay them back. The Lifan Academy will go to the Tatars first. If they are willing to make peace and pay tribute, I can let them go. I don't hesitate Give them a meal, and give it to their Highness the princess. If the army is adjourned, if they refuse, let them see Hao Erlang from the Celestial Dynasty."

As soon as this remark came out today, the situation in Beijing rose again.

King Guang's mansion was already in chaos, King Guang said, "Your Majesty is going to fight the Tatars, you should have someone bring Boyu back immediately."

Ming Yifeng didn't speak, but the King of Light already knew what he meant, he slapped the table and said, "He is your son! He is the future son, the future King of Light, he is the only one!"

"Huo Qubing was only 17 years old when he was awarded the title of Lieutenant Yao Yao. Besides, he stayed by Huangfu Gong's side as a personal soldier, so nothing will happen."

Huangfu Gong was the general of the garrison of Yanmen Gate, and the admiral of the Nine Gates during the late emperor's time.

King Guang's hand on the table moved slightly, "Yifeng, with our status, it's not suitable to do such a thing."

"But we are also descendants of the Ming family, so what's wrong with guarding the Ming family's country?" Ming Yifeng felt his eyes a little hot, "I followed Jingshan out of the imperial capital back then, and you sent your personal guards to catch me back."

King Guang was so furious that he took the case and said angrily, "Are you blaming me for blocking your way to be a hero? Do you want to hang a plaque full of loyalty and heroism and go to the Taimiao to show to the ancestors? I won't now Catch you, go to Yanmen Pass and guard the frontier with your son!"

After Mammy Yu came, Lin Daiyu really fell asleep at night, but she was more sleepy than before. Often when Yan Ji got up, she was still awake. Yan Ji was busy going to Tatar this month, and came back late , so when he came back from Lifan Courtyard, she fell asleep again.

Ming Yilan felt that something was wrong, and ordered someone to invite the imperial physician.

After the imperial doctor diagnosed her pulse, he congratulated her, "The princess is overjoyed, grandma is pregnant. It's not very good to be pregnant just now."

"I drank so much soothing decoction before, is it important? Will it be bad for the child?" Lin Daiyu asked repeatedly in a moment of anxiety.

The imperial doctor smiled awkwardly, "It's been more than a month, and the soothing soup that grandma drank at that time was already mild, but it doesn't bother me now. Now take a good rest and focus on diet."

Ming Yilan ordered someone to award 50 taels of generous reward to the imperial physician, clasped his hands together in joy, "Thank God, ancestors bless you."

Lin Daiyu touched her flat belly, still unable to recover, "I... I... unexpectedly..."

Everyone in the room came up to congratulate her, and Ming Yilan instructed, "You all have to keep your mouths tight, children are stingy, and you can't speak out after three months. Except for the people in this room, even those in the main courtyard are not allowed to speak out." I know. Nanny Li and I will take care of your grandma's food and drink in person."

She hesitated again, "Otherwise, let Mingde push this errand, and stay at home with you."

"Then who am I?" Lin Daiyu pulled Ming Yilan's sleeve and said, "Mother, don't worry, I can take good care of the baby without him. This is the first important job he has done since he entered the court. He can do it well." Be down-to-earth, even if it is the best gift for me and my children."

Ming Yilan still has concerns. When she was pregnant with Yan Ji, her husband was not by her side, and she felt very uncomfortable.

Lin Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled, revealing two small dimples, with a calm expression, "Mother, I really want to have Mingde by my side, but what I said is true, what do you say he is, I have a mother That's enough. They don't understand as much as we do. Don't they?"

She shook Ming Yilan's sleeves and acted coquettishly. Ming Yilan couldn't help but tapped her forehead, "Sure enough, a good wife is a good husband. If you cry and yell that he is not allowed to go, I still have to think about entering the palace." Crying and pleading with the Queen Mother."

Yan Ji didn't come back until late at night, and Lin Daiyu slept soundly.But Qiu Xin waited for him all the time, and whispered the good news, the joy in Yan Ji's eyes was almost overflowing, when Qiu Xin left, she kissed Lin Daiyu hard on the flushed sleeping face, Lin Daiyu was disturbed by him , raising his hand like waving a fly, "Mingde, don't make trouble."

"I'm not making trouble, you sleep, you sleep." After washing, he didn't dare to go to bed, and spent the night on the kang.

Lin Daiyu got up the next day with an empty side, thinking that he had left, but Biling came in with the bedding in her arms, and said with a smile, "Master, I was afraid that I would fall asleep at night and bump into you, so I went to sleep on the kang last night."

Ming Yilan came in with breakfast, nodded and said, "He is still sensible. Now that the month is young, we should be more careful and let him sleep outside."

Lin Daiyu was going to rest in bed and was detained on the bed. Ming Yilan was afraid that she would be bored, so she picked out a script and read it to her personally. Her voice was soft, and her tone was a bit like Yan Ji, calm and calm.

The selected stories are also stories about good people and good rewards.

The whole room accompanied Lin Daiyu and her baby to listen to the story of a clumsy little flower demon who cultivated into a human form and then went to repay her kindness.

Hearing that Hua'er was lying on the head of her benefactor's bed in the middle of the night, almost frightening him to death, Lin Daiyu couldn't help laughing, "This silly little thing is really interesting. It's just that it's repaying a favor, or revenge."

"Repay kindness first, then revenge." Ming Yilan closed the book, "It's time, take a nap soon."

Lin Daiyu looked at her anxiously, her eyes seemed to be filled with starlight, "How about finishing this story?"

"Then close your eyes and listen, I'll speak softly." Ming Yilan laughed.

The curtain was lowered, the light in the room dimmed, and the tranquility made people feel at ease. Ming Yilan turned to the next page and said that the little flower demon went to steal money in order to repay her kindness. Return the silver.

"In the end, the little scholar was admitted to the first prize, and married the little flower demon who became a mortal. The garden at home is full of flowers all year round, which makes people very envious." After Ming Yilan finished the last sentence, Lin Daiyu's eyelashes trembled, and finally I fell asleep contentedly.

She left Biling by her side, and went to the yard to breathe by herself.

Out of the corner gate, there was a maid in pink wandering back and forth, looking for something, Ming Yilan took a second look, and Qiu Xin went up to grab the maid, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

"My servant, Xiaozhi, is the second-class maid serving in grandma's study."

"Is that from Fujian, formerly the maid of Shibosi Gan's family?"

"Yes."

"What are you looking for?"

Xiaozhi lowered her head, respectful but not timid, "I lost a pink silk handkerchief, which was given by my grandma. Every maid in the room has one, and the lower right corner of the slave is embroidered with Zhicao. Yesterday when I was drying books for grandma It’s still there, and many people can’t see it.”

"It's just a piece of handkerchief, why bother so much." Ming Yilan had some impression of her because Lin Daiyu said that this maid could speak a lot of Mandarin, so she asked a few more questions.

Xiaozhi really seemed to have seen the big scene, "I also ask the princess to forgive me. This veil has the names of slaves and maidservants implied, and all the sisters have them. Losing the veil is a waste of grandma's good intentions. The second is that if someone uses it to frame her, it will be ironclad evidence."

"You seem to have something in your words?"

"The servant girl does have something to report to the princess, and she also asks the princess to give her a quiet place to report."
