The Double Soul of Red Mansions

Chapter 57 Mystery 3

The second prince next to him talked eloquently, and Lin Daiyu only added a sentence when necessary, yes, as you said, or just a faint smile was enough to stop the sudden enthusiasm of the second prince.If Daiyu didn't deliberately dig out the conspiracy behind the second prince's move, she would also say that the second prince is really knowledgeable, and he is not as arrogant as Prince Lian when he speaks, but it will give Daiyu a spring breeze. Feeling, of course, there is nothing like this in this world.

After the second prince left, Imperial Concubine Chen cleared all the people in the hall out of the hall.Now there are only the two of them in the room, and they don't speak so politely.

"Ah Wen, come and sit here with little aunt." Calling Chen Ruiwen to his side, the smile on Concubine Chen's face was obviously much more sincere than before. Looking at Chen Ruiwen's face, it was too easy for Concubine Chen to think that she had passed away. sister, "Everyone says that a nephew is like an aunt, which is really good. Now you are more and more like your eldest aunt."

Concubine Chen said so, what Chen Ruiwen didn't understand, the little aunt and the eldest aunt had been in love since childhood, and at this time it must be because she saw her thinking of her passed away sister.Chen Ruiwen didn't come to the Golden Palace often when he had nothing to do. Today, he came here to report his safety before going on an expedition. Instead, he followed the Duke of Qi's order to deliver things to Concubine Chen Huanggui.

"Little aunt, big aunt has passed away for many years. The dead have passed away, and the living must work hard to move forward. Big aunt knows that you are so sad for her, and she must not be able to bear it." Chen Ruiwen didn't know his own life experience. After passing away, compared with Queen Chen, the living Concubine Chen Huanggui is obviously more important.

Concubine Chen Huanggui was not a sentimental person at all, the sorrow just now was swept away, thinking that this nephew was about to go to war, she hurriedly said: "We must avenge your father's revenge, this sister-in-law will not stop you. But there is only one thing , you must not be brave in anything, you must listen more, watch more and learn more, remember, you must first consider your own safety. That kid, Aze, has been stubborn since he was a child, and the hopes of the next generation of Duke Qi's government are all on you, so you must not have any accidents. "

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I won't gamble with our family's future. This time, I will return safely." Chen Ruiwen said with a smile, "But sister-in-law, take good care of yourself in the palace. Grandpa said, The Qi State Mansion will always stand behind my sister-in-law."

"Is it just what the father meant? Ah Wen is unwilling to protect my sister-in-law in the future?" Concubine Chen Huanggui joked, not wanting the atmosphere to be too solemn.

"Sister-in-law is making fun of me again." Chen Ruiwen said helplessly. His sister-in-law has no children and her only reliance is the Duke of Qi's mansion. Chen Ruiwen lost his father and mother at a young age. Concubine, giving her a solid backing has already become the responsibility on his shoulders.

Concubine Chen Huanggui patted Chen Ruiwen's hand and said: "Sister-in-law knows that my A Wen is the most caring, that brat A Ze is slightly inferior to you." The life of the imperial concubine has added some color, so the two nephews and one niece are very popular with the imperial concubine.

"By the way, speaking of Aze, what has this brat been up to lately? Why hasn't he come into the palace yet? And Xuan'er, but she hasn't been in the palace for a while." The imperial concubine asked, "A few days ago, I did it because of that Lin Daiyu. , both of them were able to smooth the floor of the Golden Palace, and now this is crossing the river and tearing down the bridge!"

Chen Ruiwen chuckled and said, "Sister-in-law, are you jealous with Miss Lin?"

"That's right, when Lin Daiyu didn't enter the palace, the two of them came to me all day long to intercede, and when I agreed, they would take care of me for a while, but these two stinky guys stopped coming. How can I Don't be jealous!" Concubine Chen Huanggui complained to Chen Ruiwen like a child, "Now it seems that Ah Wen is the best."

"Sister-in-law, you are no longer a child." Chen Ruiwen said helplessly facing such an imperial concubine, "It really doesn't suit you to act like a baby."

"You really are a brat, are you saying that my sister-in-law is getting older?" A man will never understand a woman's nonsense.Regarding this, Chen Ruiwen kept silent and remained silent.The imperial concubine was just joking to dispel the worries caused by Chen Ruiwen's upcoming expedition, and stopped messing around like a little girl after a while.

***

Lin Daiyu doesn't care about the affairs of the Golden Palace, she is facing the anger of Mr. Zhong in the study at the moment.

"Sir, you are a student, right? You shouldn't be absent from today's class." As soon as Lin Daiyu entered the study, she was criticized by the gentleman in the study. Her face was so frosty that Daiyu was at a loss as to what had happened.Originally, today's matter was called by the master, so I couldn't help myself.Even if the husband is unhappy, it shouldn't be so obvious.Isn't this slapping Concubine Chen in the face, no matter how heartless Mr. is, he wouldn't be so presumptuous, right?

After all, Daiyu was a bit conspiratorial.This gentleman has always been a single-minded person. No one can easily violate the rules of conduct he has established. The consequences of being responsible must be very serious.As for the entire palace, it can be said that there is no one who can let the husband put down the principles of life.It's just that at the Holy Majesty's place, after all, the master still knows what is different from a gentleman, and he can suppress his stubborn temper, but other people don't have this honor!

The husband has a lot of truths, and Lin Daiyu was reprimanded for more than half an hour before he was about to rest.Growing up so big, this is the first time that Lin Daiyu has been ashamed to tidy up in front of everyone.Daiyu is sensitive by nature, so many gloating eyes in the study at the moment make her feel shy.

"Go and sit. You will be fined to copy today's homework ten times, and leave it to me tomorrow morning." The gentleman said angrily.

Daiyu hurriedly said yes, and walked quickly to her seat.As soon as she sat down, Jiang Huilan cast a concerned look at Daiyu.Daiyu smiled slightly, indicating that she was fine, and concentrated on listening to the class.This day, Daiyu felt that it was extra long. When it was finally time for school to end, Daiyu was obviously relieved.Jiang Huilan immediately packed her things, took the book and asked the second princess for leave, and planned to accompany Daiyu.

"Don't take Yu'er's words to heart." Jiang Huilan comforted Daiyu with a smile.Jiang Huilan has been showing affection to Lin Daiyu since entering the palace. Daiyu's heart is not made of stone, so she slowly accepts that there is such a person by her side from time to time.

"I'm fine, Huilan." Lin Daiyu smiled, "Let's go have dinner together, I still have homework to do tonight, it seems that I have to burn the lamp to read tonight." The content copied today is very long. After doing it ten times, Daiyu knew that she would not be able to rest until the second half of the night.

Jiang Huilan leaned close to Daiyu's ear and said, "Let me copy it for you tonight. We will be half of us, and it will be a lot easier."

"No need." Daiyu hurriedly refused, "I can do it myself. After dinner together, you can go back." Jiang Huilan pouted and asked if she really didn't need help, Daiyu shook her head firmly.What a joke, she doesn't like to be caught with a knife.She always does her own affairs.Jiang Huilan saw that Daiyu was so persistent, so she didn't mention it anymore.After a hasty dinner, the two returned to their respective residences.

This night was indeed as Daiyu said, she lit the lamp in the outer study of the Golden Palace until midnight and finally finished all the things that her husband explained.After staying up late and passing the most sleepy time, Daiyu didn't feel sleepy anymore, so she simply repeated the old trick, went back to the room and lit the incense, changed into black clothes, and sneaked into Fengyi Palace again.

The last time Daiyu was lucky, she met the Holy Majesty driving Fengyi Palace.But today, Fengyi Palace looks from the eaves of Jinque Palace, except for sporadic light, there is no other light source.This is Daiyu's second visit to Fengyi Palace, but she is still sensitive to find that the guards of Fengyi Palace are still the same as last time.

"It's strange, why are there so many people today." Daiyu hid herself, looking at the guards in Fengyi Palace who kept changing guards and patrolling secretly.Last time she thought it was the presence of the Holy One, that's why Fengyi Palace, which had already been sealed off, had layers of guards, but today, it seems that the guards are worse than last time.Thinking of what she heard this time, Daiyu knew in her heart that this Fengyi Palace had a secret, and it was a big secret, otherwise the Holy Majesty would not have sent people to guard the palace of a former queen.

If you want to say that the Holy Majesty and the first queen are deeply in love, it seems that there is a lot of water in it now.No matter how deep the love is like the sea, it would not be so motivating.

Daiyu originally planned to try her luck this time because she couldn't sleep at night, but at this moment she changed her mind.She decided to go to the main hall to find out.Daiyu has a very good memory since she practiced martial arts, one time is enough for her to remember the route to the main hall.

Cautiously avoiding the patrolling guards, Daiyu gently pushed the door of the main hall open a gap, and entered the main hall.The main hall was far brighter than Daiyu imagined. She was ready to touch the darkness, but unexpectedly, there was an egg-sized night pearl inlaid on the side pillar of the main hall.The light of the night pearl made the whole hall look less lonely and dark.

It's getting more and more interesting.

The last time the main hall was brightly lit, Daiyu didn't pay close attention to the situation in the hall in the dark, but today, when she took a closer look, this main hall reveals delicacy and care everywhere.It does not look like it has not been lived in for more than ten years.

The east and west sides of the main hall are still connected with wing rooms. Daiyu reviewed the east and west sides, and finally decided to enter Empress Chen's living room first.
