The Unparalleled Warrior of the Dream of the Red Chamber

No matter how reluctant they are, Lord Jian Jun Shui Ling and Princess An Ning have to enter the palace to express their gratitude.Concubine Shen Shu brought Shui Ling, and Wang Dongping and his wife brought Sima Suxin. Sima Suxin was forced to come here by King Dongping. Although Princess Dongping was unwilling, she knew that her arms could not twist her thighs. Complying with the order, she persuaded Sima Suxin very much. Sima Suxin didn't want to enter the palace to thank her, but she reluctantly followed when she thought of seeing the prince.

The two people who came to thank you will be outside the Kunning Palace. Princess Dongping forced a smile and said, "Xin'er, come and pay respects to Concubine Shu, your future mother-in-law."

Sima Suxin bowed forward with a straight face and said: "Greetings to Concubine Shu." Seeing that Sima Suxin just performed a Wanfu salute indiscriminately, King Dongping frowned and said in a low voice: "Xin'er, pay respects to see your mother-in-law."

Sima Suxin stood up and stretched her neck and shouted: "The Empress is the concubine mother of Lord Jianjun, she is An Ning's mother-in-law, others are not worthy."

Shen Shufei still had a smile on her face. After hearing what Sima Suxin said, she immediately lowered her face and said coldly: "Ling'er, let's go in." Ning Gong.Shui Ling stared at Sima Suxin blankly for a long time to infuse the fragrance. Seeing Sima Suxin's heart felt cold, her teeth chattered, she opened her mouth but couldn't make a sound.Only then did Shui Ling look away, and nodded slightly to King Dongping and Princess Wang. As for what King Dongping said to him with a smile, Shui Ling didn't listen to a word, and followed Concubine Shen Shu into Kunning Palace.

When Concubine Shen Shu and Shui Ling entered Kunning Palace, Chief Sima wiped off his cold sweat and said angrily, "Sima Suxin, you are going too far! How can you speak to Concubine Shu like this?"

Sima Suxin said sharply: "If you don't like me, then divorce!"

King Dongping was so angry that he raised his hand to hit Sima Suxin, Sima Suxin raised his head and waited, Sima Chang shook his head, but he didn't hit him after all, slowly put his hand down, and said in a deep voice: "Sima Suxin, this is you Go out for the last time before getting married, after today, you will no longer be free."

Princess Dongping said angrily: "You..."

Sima Chang said coldly: "Now I am still the prince of Dongping. Unless you submit a book to divorce your husband, and the emperor approves your book, otherwise you have to listen to me. Now take your daughter in and ask Concubine Shu apologize."

Princess Dongping was blocked by Prince Dongping and had nothing to say, she just held Sima Suxin's hand and said: "Xin'er, let's go in."

Sima Suxin saw that her mother had run into a wall with her father for the first time, and she couldn't help looking at her mother in doubt. Princess Dongping patted Sima Suxin's hand lightly and said, "Xin'er, when I get home, my mother will tell you slowly. .”

After entering the Qianyuan Hall, Princess Dongping saw that the emperor and the empress were not there, only a few court ladies stood on both sides with their hands down, waiting for the master to call at any time.Princess Dongping pulled Sima Suxin to Concubine Shen Shu, who was sitting on a chair beside her, forced a smile and said, "Madam Shu, Xin'er is still young and ignorant, please don't blame her." Sima Suxin stood still, Dongping The concubine hurriedly pulled her to kneel down, Sima Suxin said in a muffled voice, "Please forgive me, Concubine Shu."

Concubine Shen Shu knew that Sima Suxin had a bad temper. In fact, if Sima Suxin was really good, she would have proposed marriage for her son long ago. After all, the family status of Dongping Palace is very attractive to her, and she and Princess Dongping They are relatives after all.It was because Sima Suxin was always arrogant that Concubine Shen Shu went to propose marriage to the prince for her, in order to drag the prince down.Seeing Sima Suxin kneeling at her feet unconvinced, Concubine Shen Shu needless to mention the depression in her heart, so she didn't have a good voice, she just said coldly: "Princess An Ning, please get up, I am not your right mother-in-law after all, I am sorry Don't kneel to me."

Concubine Dongping felt a little upset, she hurriedly said in a low voice: "Xin'er is a child, cousin, don't be angry with her, she will depend on how much you love her in the future."

Seeing Princess Dongping playing the family card, Concubine Shen Shu forced her face to smile and said: "Forget it, for my cousin's sake, forget it. Suxin, get up. Now that you are not married, in front of your parents You can still play with your childish temper, once you pass through the door, don't be so ignorant, Jianjun Prince's Mansion has rules."

Sima Suxin was about to stand up to retort, but she held Princess Dongping on her shoulders, Princess Dongping smiled at Concubine Shen Shu, "Xin'er will definitely obey the rules."

Concubine Shen Shu raised the handkerchief in her hand and said: "Forget it, get up and stand aside."

Only then did Princess Dongping let go of the hand that was holding Sima Suxin's shoulder, and Sima Suxin stood up angrily, and stood next to Princess Dongping with a sullen face and pouting mouth.

"The emperor is here... the empress is here... His Royal Highness is here... Lu Wang Qiansui is here..."

The emperor held the queen's hand, and the husband and wife were both dressed in multicolored silk brocade robes of yellow dragon, phoenix and clouds. The queen wore a red gold hairpin with nine phoenix street beads, emerald emeralds and rubies inlaid on her head, and a dove egg-sized dove hairpin was embedded on the red gold ground. Ye Mingzhu, this night pearl is called Haolan Orb, and it can be regarded as the treasure of the town. From Haolan Orb, there are nine red gold twisted silk phoenix tails extending around, each of which is embedded with a finger-sized ruby. The silky phoenix tail whiskers trembled slightly, which greatly reduced the heaviness of the big phoenix hairpin, making it look gorgeous without being bulky.This phoenix hairpin can almost be regarded as a symbol of the queen's status. Concubine Shen Shu couldn't control herself when she saw this phoenix hairpin. She couldn't help but look down at the flesh red satin dress with a round collar and then look up at the queen. , those eyes could not be moved away.Shui Ling could only frown and tug on Concubine Shen Shu's sleeve quietly, Concubine Shen Shu lowered her head unwillingly.

Behind the emperor and empress are Prince Shui Chi and Lu Wang Shui Qing. Shui Chi wears a hairpin crown in the color of the eight-treasure pearl lake on his head, wears a five-claw dragon python robe with blue river teeth and sea water, and a suet and white jade belt around his waist. , staring at a pair of dark blue satin ruyi cloud pattern thick-soled small court boots, the face is as beautiful as jade and the eyes are like stars, Shui Qing is wearing a five-clawed dragon and apricot yellow python robe, closely following the water, and is willing to fall even a step.

When Sima Suxin saw Shui Chi, she saw no one else in her eyes.She stared at Shui Chi without any scruples, that admiration that even a blind person could see.Shui Qing pulled Shui Chi unhappily, pursed her pink and tender mouth, Shui Chi leaned over and said with a smile, "Tired after only a few steps? Come, brother will carry you away." Shui Qing was waiting for this He quickly jumped onto Shui Chi, and then gave Sima Suxin a defiant look. Sima Suxin was startled by Shui Qing's sharp eyes, and when she blinked, she looked at Shui Chi again. However, Shui Qing has turned into a cute child, blinking those elf-like eyes.

Concubine Shen Shu, Shui Ling, Prince Dongping and his wife, and Sima Suxin were all standing, and when the empress and crown prince Lu Wang took their seats, they went forward to kneel and bow. He and King Dongping could go back to their seats, while Shui Ling, who was wearing a dark green four-claw dragon king costume, and Sima Suxin, who was wearing a water-red palace attire, had to stand up and then kneel down to thank the emperor and queen for their marriage.

Shui Ling always has a cold face, he has no other expression except coldness.Shui Ling knelt down and said rigidly: "My son, Shui Ling, thanked my father and queen." Hearing Shui Ling's voice like an iron rod cutting across the ice, Sima Suxin couldn't help but shudder.

The emperor smiled lightly and said: "Ling'er, get up, it's the emperor's carelessness. If your mother and concubine hadn't mentioned the benefits of Princess An Ning to me, I would have neglected this matter. You and An Ning will live a good life and open up for the royal family." The branches are scattered." Concubine Shen Shu couldn't help but glance at the emperor when she heard this. At this time, she was in distress, but only smiled wryly.

When Sima Suxin saw Shuichi, she couldn't help but look at Shuiling. Comparing the two sides, she immediately saw that Shuiling was much worse than Shuichi regardless of her appearance, demeanor, or even her voice. Sima Suxin was even more reluctant to this marriage. After Shui Ling woke up, she fell to her knees. Just as she was about to protest the marriage, the Queen smiled and said, "An Ning is indeed a straightforward person. It seems that she is very happy with this marriage. Your Majesty, look at that kneeling just now. Be crisp."

The emperor laughed and said: "The empress is very right, Ling'er has a cold temper, and she just wants An Ning's temper to be neutralized."

The empress and the empress sang together and did not give Sima Suxin a chance to speak at all. She had to kowtow first, and then she wanted to speak, but the empress didn't give her a chance. It’s just a family, and there is no need to perform this big gift on ordinary days.”

Sima Suxin lost her temper completely, the emperor and queen were high above her, and the bright dragon and phoenix robes gave off a colorful light, giving people an invisible coercion, so that Sima Suxin didn't dare to rebel at all.

"Ling'er, go to meet the crown prince with An Ning." The emperor said intentionally.

Shui Ling answered with a blank expression, turned her head to look at Sima Suxin, and said coldly: "Princess, please visit the crown prince with me."

Sima Suxin and Shui Ling walked in front of Shui Chi, and Shui Ling knelt down and said coldly: "The brother of the prince has not yet established a concubine, but my younger brother is going to get married, and my younger brother has overstepped."

Shui Chi smiled lightly and said: "Brother Ling, please come, your marriage has come, you are going to get married, this is not arrogance." Sima Suxin knelt at Shui Chi's feet, Shui Chi Xu said: "Princess An Ning Please, Brother Ling will ask you to take care of her from now on, I hope you will fulfill your duties as a woman and take good care of your husband and children."

Sima Suxin's eyes were filled with tears, she looked up at Shuiqi, and cried out with a cry: "Brother Prince!"

Shui Chi's eyes turned cold, and he said lightly: "Brother Ling, help Princess Anning get up." Shui Ling grabbed Sima Suxin's arm and pulled her up, and said coldly: "I have seen King Lu. .”

Shui Qing was granted the honor of the prince, it was not that he was younger than Shui Ling, so Shui Ling didn't need to kneel down to salute, but only saluted. , Shui Qing loudly shouted: "You are not my sister-in-law yet."

Sima Suxin's face turned blue and red, so she had to put up her skirt and knelt down, saying: "An Ning pays homage to Lu Wang Qiansui."

Shui Qing gave an old-fashioned "hmm" and said slowly, "Get up."

Sima Suxin stood up in embarrassment. Before entering the palace, everyone regarded her as a treasure and let her go, but this time, she was hit by a soft wall everywhere.Sima Suxin didn't know how to reflect on herself, but she remembered all the changes on Shui Ling's head. She believed that Shui Ling, the king of Jian County, was worthless, and that made herself suffer everywhere.Sima Suxin, who didn't like Shui Ling in the first place, felt more resentment in her heart.

Xie Guoen accepted the gift from the Empress Prince and Lu Wang, which was a palace banquet, because Shui Ling had a personality like ice, and Sima Suxin was still wronged, Princess Dongping was full of resentment, and Concubine Shen Shu was also very dissatisfied. Therefore, everyone ate this meal like chewing wax. No matter what kind of delicacies, they also tasted what they shouldn't have.

After receiving the banquet, Wang Dongping and his wife took Sima Suxin out of the palace and returned home, while Shui Ling said that he was going to Yanqing Palace.Shui Ling seldom went to Yanqing Palace on her own initiative. Seeing her son following her, Concubine Shen Shu couldn't help being happy, and asked with a smile: "Ling'er, you didn't eat enough just now, you can eat some more when you get to Yanqing Palace."

Shui Ling saw that the maid who was serving her was far away, so she bullied Concubine Shen Shu and said in a low voice, "Concubine Mother, I know Princess Jiangxian is in the palace, I don't care what method you use, you must get her out of the palace within two days." If you can't do it, you don't want to have a grandson." Concubine Shen Shu was shocked, she looked at Shui Ling in astonishment, and asked in a trembling voice: "Ling'er, what do you want to do?"

Shui Ling said coldly: "Have you forgotten what I said yesterday?"

Concubine Shen Shu was startled and said, "What, are you serious?"

Shui Ling glanced at Concubine Shen Shu, and said coldly: "Isn't this what you want? Your son will have a chance if the crown prince has no heir!" After saying this, Shui Ling strode past Concubine Shen Shu and did not go to Yanqing Palace , went straight out of the palace and went back to Jian County Prince's Mansion.

Concubine Shen Shu was flustered for a while at first, but she quickly stabilized her position, took a few quick breaths, and Concubine Shen Shu regained her calm and returned to her own Yanqing Palace.

The queen went back to her bedroom and took off the red gold phoenix hairpin inlaid with emeralds and emeralds inlaid with rubies. She sighed comfortably: "This phoenix hairpin is too heavy. If I have to, I really don't want to wear it."

The emperor walked over and supported the empress by the shoulders and said with a smile: "Xin'er, it's all my fault that you are forced to wear this laborious child, and you are punished by pinching your neck?"

The queen put her hands on her shoulders, held them together with the emperor's, and said with a smile: "Brother Tian, ​​I understand what you mean, so we should also dress like that. Give them face. Besides, An Ning has been pestering Qi'er all this time, if she hadn't been suppressing her like this, I don't know what she would have said."

The emperor nodded and said: "Forget it, let's not talk about those things, Xin'er, I'm hungry."

The queen turned her head and said with a smile: "Someone has already prepared some snacks, and the two of Chi'er and Qing'er are not full. To be honest, this kind of palace banquet is the most boring, but it is really helpless to have to hold it."

The emperor smiled and said: "Rong'er is also in the palace tonight, let him come too, I heard that this kid is uncomfortable with Chi'er today." The emperor was talking about Shui Rong, Yingxia said outside to report back to the emperor, empress empress , Prince Jing's son has already been invited. The Queen laughed and said, "Let Rong'er go to Dongnuan Pavilion first, Yingxia, go and invite Yu'er over." "

Both the emperor and the empress changed their clothes, and the husband and wife went to Dongnuan Pavilion hand in hand. Seeing that the water was brewing and Daiyu's water-soluble water was waiting early in the morning, Shui Qing ran over and took the empress's hand and said coquettishly, "Hello, Qinger, empress mother!" Hungry."

The queen smiled and said: "The queen mother knows that Qing'er is hungry, so she has already prepared for you your favorite food, stuffed squab with eight treasures. But don't eat too much, and I will go to bed soon. If you eat too much, you will save food." Shui Qing He shouted happily: "Yes, my son obeys the mother's will."

The emperor saw that the court ladies were dividing the seats, so he smiled and said: "There are no outsiders, so there is no need to divide the seats, just sit at the same table, and it will be more lively and intimate."

Surrounding a small round table, the queen sat next to the emperor, Shui Qing sat between the queen and the prince, Daiyu sat between the prince and Shui Rong, six people just surrounded the table, except for Daiyu and Shui Rong , the other four people were hungry, everyone first picked up some of their favorite food, and then toasted.

Shui Rong put a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus lotus root on the plate in front of Daiyu. Daiyu smiled and thanked her, took a small bite, and said softly with her eyes bent, "Sweet sweet osmanthus lotus root, very sweet. The taste of Jiangnan."

Shui Rong said with a smile: "Yu'er, you like to eat sweets, what a coincidence!"

Daiyu didn't understand the meaning of water melting, and wondered: "What does Senior Brother Rong mean by that?"

But Shui Chi felt his hairs standing on end, a kind of instinctive uneasiness hit his heart, sure enough, Shui Rong said with a smile: "My cousin also likes this sweet-scented osmanthus lotus root dish very much, that's why I say it's a coincidence."

Daiyu didn't think much about it, so she picked up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus lotus root and put it on the plate in front of Shui Chi, and said with a slight smile, "Unexpectedly, Brother Chi also likes desserts."

Shui Chi looked at the pink lotus root slices in front of him, and felt his teeth were all sore before he ate them, but facing Daiyu's smiling noodle noodles, Shui Chi couldn't say that he didn't want to eat desserts, he stretched out his jade chopsticks Clamping the lotus root slices, with a resolute and fearless spirit, I put the lotus root slices into my mouth, closed my eyes, and bit down.The emperor and the queen were dumbfounded watching Shui Chi put the lotus root slices into their mouths, and the queen hurriedly called out: "Chi'er!"

Shui Jian didn't dare to chew carefully, so he hurriedly swallowed the lotus root slices, shook his head slightly to the queen, then smiled and said to Daiyu: "Yu'er, these lotus root slices are really delicious, eat more, After speaking, he took a piece as a gift and put it in Daiyu's plate. This sweet-scented osmanthus lotus root is a Jiangnan dish. Daiyu has liked to eat it since she was a child, so she ate a few more slices.

Seeing that Shui Chi had actually eaten the sweet osmanthus honey lotus root, Shui Qing exclaimed: "Brother Prince, you don't... um..." Shui Qing didn't finish speaking, Shui Chi stuffed a pigeon leg into it. Shui Qing was still a child, a pigeon leg was enough to plug his mouth, making him speechless.The queen and the emperor looked at each other, they smiled at each other, the emperor glared at Shui Rong again, but Shui Rong slyly raised his wine glass and toasted the emperor.The Queen leaned over and whispered a few words in Shui Qing's ear, Shui Qing blinked his confused eyes, looked at Shui Chi, then at Dai Yu, then nodded, not sure how much he understood.After the banquet, the emperor and empress Shui Qing and Daiyu left, Shui Chi grabbed Shui Rong's neck and said bitterly: "Shui Rong, you framed me!"
