[Red Mansion + Liaozhai] Furong repays her kindness

The princess of Fuqing took the golden crown, tied the double rings with a pair of golden bells, and changed into a light yellow blouse similar to Lin Daiyu, except that the lower skirt was red, inlaid with various gemstones and flowers, and the outer layer was covered with tulle.

Between the lines, the gemstones were faintly shining, and the golden bell was ringing crisply. It was the princess, the proud daughter of heaven. She tilted her head and smiled, "Did I scare you by wearing men's clothes just now?"

Lin Daiyu lowered her head and said, "The princess looks like a daughter in men's clothing, so she doesn't frighten her."

This is the truth. When Shi Xiangyun wore men's clothes when he was a child, he always said that he was more handsome than women's clothes. Even if the princess dressed up vigorously, she could tell she was a woman at a glance, without detracting from her beauty.

"It's so boring. They all said that I look like a young master with strong martial arts." The eldest princess shook her head and jingled the bells, "Grandmother and queen like to make these little things for me, it's so annoying."

She seemed to think of something, and asked Lin Daiyu again, "Did your family hold a Qixi Festival banquet this year?"

"Yes." Lin Daiyu didn't know where she was singing.

"It's you! It's you who want to embroider gems on the skirt, so that they all learn from you." The eldest princess lifted the skirt, "I'm dead, I feel like I'm dragging half a catty of stones."

Lin Daiyu took a closer look at the hem of her skirt, and it turned out to be huge gemstones. I don’t know how much it took to spell out hundreds of flowers. In the past, wearing too many on her head made it a little heavy, not to mention the big push on her body. I can't help but laugh a little bit.

The eldest princess said, "You're still laughing... I still have a lot of clothes that I haven't worn, and I'll reward you to wear them later. If you don't wear them, it's considered disrespectful."

Lin Daiyu quickly suppressed her smile, and said solemnly, "I also ask the princess to forgive me, but the princess's dresses are all custom-made, and the courtiers dare not exceed the rules."

The eldest princess snorted, and asked if the boat in Taiye Pool was ready. The palace people were all ready, and the maid in charge said, "Today, the empress is kind enough to allow the beautiful ladies to play in Taiye Pool." , do you need the servants to let them avoid it?"

If you want to avoid it, let them leave when the boat is being prepared. It's just that the palace people have been serving for a long time. How can you not understand the princess's mind? I'm afraid she learned the queen's order early in the morning and just used Lin Daiyu as a cover , Appreciating the lotus is false, but it is true to tease the show girl.

Sure enough, the Eldest Princess said, "They let theirs go, I go boating on mine, and I'm not a younger brother, so they're afraid that I won't make it."

This Taiye Pool is not the one in the Daming Palace in the Han Dynasty or the former Tang Dynasty. It was newly built in this dynasty. It was originally called Xiao Penglai. Later, I don’t know which emperor said that Penglai is the place where immortals live. I don’t want to ascend to heaven, so I changed it to Taiye. The liquid pool is gone.

Taiye Lake occupies a huge area, and there is a water pavilion in the center of the lake, which can only be passed by a long embankment, or can be crossed by small boats. In the past, the late emperor liked to escape the summer heat with Sun Taifei on the water pavilion in the middle of the lake. There were also several small boats, carrying palace people singing and dancing. When there is fog, the palace people walk like Lingbo, as if in a fairyland.

If it weren't for the ancestor's words of ascension to heaven, Taiyechi would indeed be worthy of the name of Little Penglai.

It happened to be a cloudy day, and there was no direct sunlight. Most of the girls chose to play by the Taiye Pond, but most of them were in groups of twos and threes, with clear barriers.

Xue Baochai stood not too far from the edge of the pool, and it was a rare comfort to talk to a few friends about the beautiful scenery, and didn't want a few noble ladies who were participating in the general election to walk away.

Standing in front of Xue Baochai, the beautiful girl wearing peach red said harshly, "The empress is kind, why is such a small pick come out for a walk, she is not afraid of shame."

The other one in emerald green clothes immediately echoed with a smile, "This is the kindness of the empress. These people should get some favor in front of the master earlier, and then they will have something to rely on when they become palace maids."

Xue Baochai has never been so good at nourishing energy. Seeing that her female companion was about to retort, she pulled the other party's sleeve without a trace, and said with a smile, "Please take care of me when the time comes."

Tao Hongnv's eyes were drawn long and looked like a phoenix, and now she stared at them, and they turned into protruding triangular eyes, which were not as bright as Baochai. I can't take care of it."

Xue Baochai smiled, and wanted to go elsewhere, but the emerald green girl grabbed her and said, "You are so eloquent, if you collide with us, do you still want to leave?"

Xue Baochai's female companion couldn't help but said, "Why did you ever bump into you, you came up by yourself."

Like Xue Baochai, she is also a girl from the Imperial Merchant. Although her status is not high, she was raised by gold and jade in her family, so how can she be so angry.

Xue Baochai saw that his female companion was impulsive, and said, "Since we collided, we will leave right now, so as not to disturb your purity."

"It's not so easy to go. You can either slap yourself twice, or I will do it for you." The corners of the green girl's lips were raised, very vicious.

Over there, Lin Daiyu was walking slowly by the pool with the eldest princess. The eldest princess asked, "Do you have any relatives participating in this draft? I will open a back door for you so that you can meet her."

Lin Daiyu thought for a while and said, "There is a cousin, Mrs. Xue, who is participating in this election."

The eldest princess said, "Don't frame me, your grandparent's family name is Jia Lai."

Lin Daiyu explained, "It's my aunt's niece."

"Oh, you are your uncle's niece, and she is your aunt's niece. This watch is more than three thousand miles away." The eldest princess said, "But since you have spoken, I will naturally sell you this favor. Let's go and see Look at you, Cousin Xue."

Lin Daiyu said, "Cousin is participating in the primary election this time."

"What's the matter, the general election and the minor election are not based on what my mother said." The eldest princess said indifferently, "Don't bully the young and poor. In the past, our Ming family was still a farmer."

Lin Daiyu bowed her head and said, "Your servant is taught."

The eldest princess tugged at her, and said impatiently, "What is there to teach you, hurry up and follow me, if you walk slowly, I will ask the queen mother to tease her sign."

The palace people around gave Lin Daiyu winks, with expressions like "Princess is such a capricious Miss Lin, please don't be prudish".

After thinking about it, she walked to the side where the beautiful women gathered in Taiye Pond, when she heard a "pa", Lin Daiyu took a closer look and found that it was Xue Baochai who was beaten.

They are also sisters who grew up together. Although they are not very close, seeing each other being humiliated like this makes her feel really uncomfortable. Lin Daiyu still lowers her head to hide her red eyes.

The eldest princess was very angry, pointing to the front and said, "Tell them all to come here, who gave me the courage to do something in the palace? Think this Taiye Pond is her garden? Eh? Miss Lin, why are you crying?"

"It's just the wind blowing my eyes." Lin Daiyu said.

"...It's made up a little bit, how come I'm not blown by the wind when I'm standing here too."

Lin Daiyu couldn't help but curled her mouth again, and said in a low voice, "The one who was beaten is the one I told the princess about just now, cousin Xue."

"Oh..." The eldest princess raised her eyebrows and looked at the pink and emerald green in front of her eyes, and there was a palace man beside her asking for her, "Who are you two, and why did you make trouble by this Taiye pool?"

Although the two daughters, Tao Hong and Emerald Green, had never seen the Eldest Princess before, they could guess a thing or two after seeing her mannerisms. They hurriedly knelt down and saluted.

The emerald woman said, "My daughter, Qin Shi, and my father, Qin Yiqian, the supervisory censor."

In this dynasty, there is no saying that the harem should not be involved in politics. The empress does not want to interfere in political affairs for the sake of husband and wife, and the eldest princess is not allowed to inquire about it. But today, she likes this daughter the most. She almost teaches everything. He declared that if the eldest princess was the prince, he would definitely choose him to inherit the throne. It was the same as when Lin Ruhai raised Lin Daiyu as his son, but one of the two fathers taught politics and the other taught Chinese.

The eldest princess glanced at the crowd in front of her. Xue Baochai knelt down behind her when the two daughters knelt down to salute.

"Mr. Qin, I feel that your father should be the first person to be considered. He is the one who can teach the daughter well. The emperor promised the imperial censor the right to remonstrate, but it seems that some people are dishonest and embarrassing. Heavy duty."

The Qin family hurriedly kowtowed and said, "My daughter is innocent, please forgive me, my daughter is willing to be punished, please don't implicate my father."

"Whether you raise him or not, it's the father's fault, why is it called implicating?" the eldest princess said, she didn't even want to look at Mrs. Zhou. Zhou Shilang wanted Mingxuan to marry him to celebrate his happiness, but his son was short-lived and promoted to the hometown lord Kefu's, her family is really domineering. They didn't take the county prince's mansion seriously before, but now they don't take her as a princess seriously.

The palace man persuaded, "Isn't the princess still wanting to enjoy the lotus with Miss Lin? It's late, and if it's later, I'm afraid the queen mother will send someone to call you."

The eldest princess pouted, "Okay, send them two to be dealt with by the queen mother, and you will talk to the queen mother personally."

When Xue Baochai heard Miss Lin, she couldn't help raising her head and took a sneak peek. It wasn't Lin Daiyu who was beside the eldest princess.They were chatting together a few days ago, but now one is standing there and the other is kneeling here.Xue Baochai's face was red and her ears were red. She felt that her face was burning hot, which was more embarrassing than the slap she received before.

The Eldest Princess looked at Lin Daiyu, then at Xue Baochai, and said curiously, "Your cousin is also very beautiful, maybe she looks even more beautiful when her face is injured?"

For the first time, Lin Daiyu felt that she was at a loss for words, so she hesitated and said, "Yes, my cousin was born more beautiful than my court daughter."

The palace man hurriedly explained for the eldest princess, "Our princess likes to look at beauties the most in her life, and the servants must also choose good-looking ones."

Only then did Lin Daiyu notice that the group of courtiers following the eldest princess were all beautiful and slim.

"Everyone has the love of beauty. Hey, Mrs. Xue, stand up first, don't kneel, and take her to get some medicine." The eldest princess took Lin Daiyu to the boat, and complained as she walked, "Last time Grandmother invited Ming Yi from Uncle Zhongshun's house to play with me, she is not good-looking at all, she has two big teeth when she smiles."

Then she was bullied and cried by Princess Yankong.Da Banya said that he is obviously cute too, princess!

The eldest princess probably often comes to row boats, and she can go up as soon as she lifts her skirt, and she can even turn her head to help Lin Daiyu.The boat was small, and the two of them sat at the two ends, and the boat mother was paddling in the bow, humming the song of picking water chestnuts from the south of the Yangtze River.

Surrounded by lotus flowers all over her body, accompanied by the sound of water and singing, she felt at ease. Miss Lin didn't forget to look at the boat lady, she was really good-looking, delicate and fair.

"Have fun?"

"Fun."

"Then come and play with me when you have time."

"My daughter-in-law is going to Fujian and Zhejiang with her father."

"What's so interesting about Fujian and Zhejiang?"

"There is a father."

"Oh, is Master Lin having fun?"

What the hell...Lin Daiyu supported her forehead, "I don't mean that, my daughter lost her mother when she was young, and she hopes to be more filial at her father's knee."

The eldest princess sighed, "Oh... Let me tell you, it's your father who doesn't bother me, but my father is annoyed."

Is your father coming today, my god... I actually heard the most noble girl in the world complain about the most noble father in the world...

Every time the Grand Princess of Fuqing gets into trouble, she will get the strong support of the emperor, who will pay for the clothes and money. However, every time the queen gets angry, the father will only shirk responsibility and smooth things over. He often fails to save the poor little princess from the queen's clutches. .

Too annoying!While directing himself to fly Sun Taifei's birdcage, while his mother was furious, he escaped on the pretext of state affairs.It is simply picked up from the Taiye pool.

Lin Daiyu asked whether her father was annoying or not. She felt that she knew the royal secrets and could not get out of Taiye Pond alive. Fortunately, the eldest princess changed the subject in time and asked her, "Do you have any older sisters in your family?"

"There are three sisters in my grandfather's family."

"Is she born good-looking? Ah, I remembered, the younger sister of Jia Nushi in the past, forget it, don't look good." The eldest princess said, no daughter can be against a woman who seduces her father and wants to be her own little mother. I have a good impression.She also secretly went to beat Zhang Guiren's parrot, and the parrot she beat yelled, "Who is plotting against you?" In the end, she died young, rushing to become a master in the palace.

After swimming in Taiye Pool for half a circle, the queen mother called someone to invite them back, and smiled after seeing the eldest princess's dress, "at first glance, it is the color chosen by the queen, and it still looks good in this way, like a girl."

The eldest princess approached the queen mother and said, "My granddaughter met another beauty today."

The tone was similar to that of a bandit, and it felt like the next sentence would be, "My lord, let's grab it back and become Mrs. Yazhai."

The Queen Mother asked without surprise, "Which beauty?"

"Xiu girl Xue, I just watched her being beaten by Taiye Pond..."

The Queen Mother interrupted her, "Xiu Nu had a conflict? How did you handle it? Why was she beaten?"

Mingxuan felt that the following was not something they could listen to, so she hurriedly led Lin Daiyu to leave. The grandparent and grandson did not persuade her to stay this time, so the queen mother waved her hand, "Go, go back earlier and rest, the little bun is tired too."

The children in the palace are all grown up, and there are no new ones born. The Queen Mother hasn't held a grandson in her arms for several years. The little bun is chubby, with big blinking eyes, and the old man likes it.

Lin Daiyu was the same as when she came here, following Mingxuan silently until she got into her carriage, she whispered about today's events, Mingxuan said, "It's no wonder you don't know. The eldest princess has this problem since she was a child, she likes beauty Yes, it’s fine to have a straight hair and a straight face to serve by others, but she can’t, all of them are very beautiful, which is very strange. If Mrs. Xue is really born well, she can live a better life with the princess’ favor.”

Lin Daiyu knew that Mingxuan didn't like Xue Baochai very much, so she didn't want to say more, so she leaned on the carriage and closed her eyes to rest.

After returning to the mansion, she said that Master Lin had gone out to meet distinguished guests, Ming Xuan couldn't hold on anymore, and took her son to take a nap after dinner, Lin Daiyu leaned against the bedside, her expression dazed.

Mother Chen asked, "What's the matter, girl? Are you tired because of the strict rules in the palace?"

Lin Daiyu didn't want to tell everyone about Xue Baochai's beating, so she said after a while, "I met Sister Bao in the palace, why is there not enough clothes and food outside, so I want to go in, no one can see her, and no one can see her. "

Mother Chen said, "Although Xue's family is an imperial merchant, it is declining day by day. Not only his family, but also the Wang family's situation is better. If Miss Xue can fight for the top, the Xue family can lose more slowly."

Lin Daiyu heard this for the first time, all she saw was the prosperity and luxury of Jia's mansion, Xue's family had millions of possessions, so she asked, "How do you say this?"

During the time when Chen Momo waited for Daiyu to go to Beijing, she had already made all the inquiries about Jia's family, and explained to her, "Young lady is a scholar, you should have heard of it. No matter how prosperous the family is, most of the unpromising children are destined to decline. Although it is still called the Rongning Second Mansion, the title has long been downgraded, but it is the girl's grandmother, and Shi Taijun is still just barely maintained. .”

Lin Daiyu thought about it carefully, and then asked, "The Shi family has two princes, why did the mother say that the Duwang family is better off?"

"The girl has also gone out to socialize a few times. You have seen Miss Shi's demeanor. I thought that the other ladies might be better, but later I heard from Xueyan Qiukui that Miss Shi used to talk about it It was the historian who cut back on expenses and asked their mothers to work until late at night. A family of two marquises, who can’t even handle a needleworker, might as well be a family who has already been demoted.” Chen Nanny felt that her words were not very kind, The painting style changed, "But I don't dare to believe everything this daughter says."

After all, Shi Xiangyun said that Lin Daiyu was a flirtatious, hypocritical and petty person who liked to pretend to be a rich lady. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Lin Daiyu was not such a person, so she couldn't prove it when she talked about historians.

Lin Daiyu smiled, "She has always been so forthright and open-minded. It's much better than talking sweetly and holding a sword in her heart. Don't care about her, Mammy."

"I have nothing to worry about with her, just don't worry about her." Nanny Chen helped Lin Daiyu to lie down, "The girl is also tired, don't think too much, everyone has their own destiny, sleep for a while."

Seeing that Nanny Chen coaxed Lin Daiyu to sleep, Xueyan felt a little strange, Yishuang always did these comforting things, where did Yishuang go today?

Miss Yishuang is staying by the Yongding River.
