[Red Mansion] Married by decree

Chapter 21: Stopping the boat on the Slender West Lake to reminisce about the past, the Ning family&

Because they didn't want to attract attention, the boats owned by Yunze and the others were not too big, and when viewed from the shore, they looked no different from other boats on the lake.

The empress dowager was given the concubine of the empress dowager at the age of 15. When the empress dowager changed from prince to emperor, and then to empress dowager, the empress dowager was the palace and the palace all the way, leaving the palace a few times to escape the summer heat.But rarely see the outside world.It is also a novelty to see the night view of the Slender West Lake today.

In the painting boat, the empress dowager was accompanied by Daiyu, enjoying some Yangzhou-specific snacks while admiring the night scenery by the lake.The two got along very well, and Daiyu was a sweetheart, so the atmosphere was very harmonious.

In the next compartment, the three of Yunze were drinking, only the three of them, without the company of local officials.Because it was for fun, the three of them relaxed a bit. Judging from their expressions, they seemed to be in a good mood.

"I still remember the last time I came to Yangzhou, the ninth brother was taken captive." There was an obvious smile in the emperor's tone.

"Brother Huang, I agreed not to mention that matter."

"Okay, okay, brother, don't mention it."

"Lao San, I remember that the family members of a local official were also captured together with Lao Jiu."

"Father, that's exactly the case. Speaking of it..." The emperor was about to say something, but at this time they were stopped by a painting boat.

Not long after, a guard came in. The guard was wearing the clothes of ordinary people.After entering the door, he knelt down and reported.

"What happened?"

"Back to the emperor, someone came to the boat and said it was Miss Lin's friend. Seeing the girl boarded the boat, they came to talk about the past."

"Reminiscing about the old days?" Yunze played with the wine glass in his hand, with a playful smile on his face: "Whose family is it?"

"Going back to the lord, it belongs to the Yin family of Ningfu." The guard answered Yunze's question respectfully, as a qualified guard, naturally he wouldn't even know who the visitor was.

"It seems that the emperor is blessed." The answer to Yunze was the emperor's cold snort, Yunze didn't care, he still knew his brother, so he wouldn't be angry with him to such a degree, he turned to himself Quan De who was beside him ordered: "Go and invite Miss Lin."

"Slave is going now." Quande backed out of the cubicle, then turned around and entered the cubicle where Daiyu was.

"The servant has seen the Empress Dowager and Miss Lin."

"Dequan, I saw that the boat stopped, but what happened?"

"It's not a big deal to go back to the Empress Dowager. The girl from Yin's family in Yangzhou Prefecture stopped the boat and said she wanted to talk to Miss Lin. The prince also came here as a slave, and asked the girl to go and see her."

"Hmph, you have a big heart." After hearing this, the empress dowager couldn't understand the tricks, and her face immediately became serious.The Supreme Emperor was on the boat, and now that he made this move, it wasn't to make it clear that he would slap the Emperor in the face.If she succeeds, it will leave an impression on the Supreme Emperor that the emperor is greedy for beauty. Even if she fails, it is not good for the emperor to restrain the officials.

"I also ask the empress dowager to forgive me." Daiyu is a child, and she doesn't know all the things here. Seeing that the empress dowager is angry, although she doesn't know the reason, she still quickly knelt down and apologized.

"Girl Lin, please come quickly, what crime are you asking for?" The one who served Daiyu was the same one who had served Daiyu before, seeing what the Queen Mother said, he helped Daiyu up.

"Since the prince told you to go there, you can go."

"Daiyu will go and have a look first, and I will come to accompany the queen mother later." Daiyu bowed to the queen mother again.

"Xiangzhu, you can go with me."

"Your servant obeys." The one who took the order was the one who helped Daiyu get up earlier.

After the three of them went out, Daiyu said, "I'm going to trouble all my father-in-law to come here."

"Miss Lin is polite." Quande accepted Daiyu's reward generously.

Daiyu turned to Xiangzhu and said, "Sister Lao Xiangzhu also accompanied Daiyu on this trip. Daiyu only brought some gadgets with her when she came here. Don't be disgusted by sister Xiangzhu."

"Following a girl is the duty of a servant, but I dare not accept her gifts, and I can't be called a sister." Xiangzhu knew that the Queen Mother wanted to give her to Daiyu, so he rejected Daiyu's things.Even the wording used the word duty.It's just that Daiyu was thinking about Miss Ning at this time, but she didn't pay attention.Although he didn't understand why Xiangzhu didn't accept his gift, he didn't force it either.

"The little girl is the daughter of the Governor of Yangzhou, and the three of you are Miss Lin's friends?"

"We are her good friends in Beijing." According to the personality of the Taihuang and the Emperor, when meeting such a woman, he would directly reprimand him.It was Yunze who opened his mouth, but his smile made the backs of the Supreme Emperor and the two stewards beside him shudder.

"This Miss Ning really doesn't know how to live or die. Who doesn't know that King Anshun is the one who protects his weaknesses the most, and even uses Miss Lin as an excuse." Although Director Ling thought so in his heart, he didn't show it on his face.

Miss Ning wanted to say something, but Daiyu had already brought someone in.Daiyu looked at Miss Ning, and saw that she was wearing a flying fairy bun, and there was a white jade plum flower hairpin inserted on the left and right sides.On the earlobe, there are also plum blossom-shaped earrings.

Such a dress suits her face very well, she looks refined.Behind her were two servant girls, who were about the same age as Miss Ning, both about sixteen or seventeen years old.One of the servant girls was holding a qin in her hand. Although the qin was wrapped in cloth, it was not tightly wrapped, and the shape of the qin could still be vaguely seen.

Seeing the qin, Daiyu remembered that when she attended the gatherings of ladies from various families, she often heard people say that the prostitute of Fu Yin's family is very good at playing the qin.

"Miss Lin is really you. I saw a woman boarding the boat, whose back looks very much like you, so I asked someone to stop the boat." Before Daiyu could speak, Miss Ning went up to Daiyu as soon as she saw her. She held Daiyu's hand affectionately, like a good sister.

"Miss Ning." Daiyu pulled out her hand, and greeted the three of Yunze: "Daiyu has met the Supreme Emperor, the Emperor, and the prince." The Supreme Emperor did not like Daiyu. Seeing Daiyu's name on board, even though she knew it had nothing to do with Daiyu, she couldn't help being even more displeased.

"Excuse me, watch the seats." Even if you don't like it, you still have to give face in front of your son.The Supreme Emperor gave Daiyu a seat directly.Daiyu thanked her, then walked to the row opposite Yunze, took the first seat vacant, and sat directly opposite Yunze.

"Miss Lin, this Miss Ning said she came to see you." It was still Yunze who spoke, and Yunze didn't know why he spoke like that, just like he didn't know why he wanted someone to invite Daiyu.There is obviously no need to invite anyone to this matter, and obviously I just need to sit and watch the development of the situation, maybe... maybe something.

"Back to the lord, Daiyu has indeed met Miss Ning a few times." In fact, Daiyu didn't know what to say, so she could only answer Yunze's question honestly.

"I don't know if it's the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor who disturbed the Supreme Emperor, the Emperor and the prince, please forgive me." Before Daiyu finished speaking, Miss Ning also knelt down to apologize and cut off Daiyu's next words.

"Brother Huang, I remember that this painting boat was prepared by Ningfu Yin."

"I really entrusted him to do it." The emperor was excited to watch the play, and when he saw the words related to himself, he responded.When he was speaking, he still looked at Yunze in doubt. The old nine seemed to be a little impatient, but why.

"Your Majesty, the girl just suddenly became interested in talking about the piano, so she asked someone to rent a painting boat. Unfortunately, she happened to see Miss Lin boarding the boat, so she came here. I didn't know that this was the emperor's boat."

"Whether it is true or not, we will know when Ningfu Yin comes over and ask." The emperor didn't want to get entangled with a woman, so he asked people to call Ningfu Yin directly.

"The emperor, the emperor, the lord, when Daiyu came, the queen mother asked Daiyu to go there earlier after seeing Miss Ning. If there is nothing about Daiyu, Daiyu will leave and go back to accompany the queen mother."

"You go." This matter is not suitable for Daiyu to be present, since Daiyu opened her mouth, the emperor let her go.

"The servant girl retire."

At this time, Miss Naning was a little dazed, and the direction of the matter was completely different from what she had imagined.She is very confident in her appearance, and she is also very confident in how she looks today.She is most confident in her piano skills.

But she didn't want to, the emperor didn't give her the chance to show her piano skills at all.Even since he came in, he didn't even look at her a few times.On the other hand, Miss Lin was inferior to her in terms of appearance, talent, and family background, so she was given a seat as soon as she came in.

Why is her careful plan easily ruined, and she is an orphan, but she is the future prince and concubine.It is easy to have a lofty status, even if it is him, he has to curry favor with her.

Miss Ning is a proud person, she is good at playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and her poems and songs are not to mention.Because of Daiyu's status, the poems in several gatherings were all to give way to Daiyu, and to be inferior to Daiyu.

She is a dignified daughter of Yin's concubine, but she has to deliberately lose to a ten-year-old little girl again and again. Miss Ning is not convinced in her heart. He flattered her because of his father's instructions, but the dissatisfaction in his heart accumulated more and more.

This time, when the incident happened, it completely exploded.Although she held back in fear of being in front of the emperor and other nobles, the way she glanced at Daiyu revealed her emotions.

It was a complex look of dissatisfaction, aggrieved, forbearance and hatred, but it happened to be seen clearly by Yunze.Those who grew up in the harem may be the most aware of the horror of women fighting.That is a kind of ruthlessness, ruthlessness to oneself, and even more ruthlessness to others.
