The Unparalleled Warrior of the Dream of the Red Chamber

Shui Rong took Shui Chi's arm off, and said with a smile on his face, "Cousin, are you okay? How about I go and tell Yu'er that you can't eat dessert at all?"

His stomach throbbed with water. He has been unable to eat sweets since he was a child, and his teeth will become sore and his stomach will hurt if he eats a small bite. If the pain is severe, he will roll all over the bed. He had no choice but to avoid sweets. The piece of lotus root with sweet-scented osmanthus was already his limit.So he impatiently waved his hands and said, "Go away, you're talking more and more vigorously, Shui Rong, is this interesting?"

Shui Rong saw that Shui Chi's complexion turned pale, and knew that Shui Chi had a stomachache. Thinking that he had gone too far, he muffled his head and didn't speak. He went to the side and poured a cup of tea on the table in front of Shui Chi, apologizing. He said in a muffled voice, "Drink some tea first, it will make your stomach feel better."

Shui Chi glared at him, picked up the tea cup and poured the tea into his mouth, paused the cup and said, "Pour another cup."

Shui Rong knew that he was in the wrong, so he obediently poured a glass from the purple jade and gold sand Tai Chi pot, and after drinking four or five cups of water, his stomach felt a little better.He stood up and said: "Let's go to the training ground. I haven't done any moves for a few days. Your skin is itchy!"

Shui Rong hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Don't, don't, cousin, I know I was wrong, so I won't dare again in the future. Cousin, you have a lot of adults, please forgive me this time." Don't dare to let the water brew for strenuous activities.

Shui Chi snorted heavily and said: "We agreed on fair competition, what kind of tricks did you use, forget it this time, do it again next time, and see if I don't live to tear your bones apart."

Shui Rong knew that he had gone too far, lowered his head and said, "Okay, I won't do this again in the future."

Shui Chi said again: "Don't tell Yu'er about this."

Shui Rong let out an "ah" before reacting, he wondered: "Why? If in the future..."

Shui Chi said with a dark face: "Don't tell me if you tell me, why are there so many?"

Shui Rong didn't dare to provoke Shui Jian at the moment, so he had to tightly shut his mouth.Shui Chi sat up for a while and got up and said: "Go, go to my palace, and study the affairs of the mission. You can't let Yu'er think about everything." One night, when they figured out what to do, it was almost dawn.After a simple wash, he boiled water and changed his court clothes before going to court.

Ever since Shui Ling said that sentence, Concubine Shen Shu in Yanqing Palace was restless, she couldn't think of any way to force Daiyu out of the palace.Daiyu was invited by the empress, and the crown prince and the prince of Beijing personally escorted her into the palace. Although she was only a county lord, the emperor and the empress doted on her, and she was even exempted from bowing down. Naturally, all the concubines in the palace would not dare Accepting Daiyu's gift, who would dare to go beyond the role of the emperor and queen.

Xiuyi came over with a cup of tea, she brought the tea to Concubine Shen Shu and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, please have some tea."

Concubine Shen Shu raised her head and glanced at Xiuyi, seeing that Xiuyi's face was a little haggard, she sighed and said, "Xiuyi, now that Ling'er has a concubine, you..."

Xiuyi knelt down on the ground with a thud, and said in a mournful voice: "Your maidservant belongs to the empress, and everything depends on the empress. The empress asks the servant to serve the prince, and the servant will serve the prince with all her heart. The empress will keep the slave in the palace, and the slave will also I will serve my mother as before." Concubine Shen Shu sighed and said: "Xiuyi, get up. You have been with me since you were a child, and you served Ling'er before he opened the mansion. I think you are the first No. Considerate and gentle, I can feel more at ease if I give you to Linger. Although the emperor pointed Linger as the concubine, the Princess Anning has always been arrogant. I am afraid that she will not be able to serve Linger well. Xiuyi, I will still I gave you to Ling'er, it's just that the timing... has to wait."

Xiuyi bowed her hands and said yes, not daring to show any dissatisfaction.Concubine Shen Shu thought for a while, and then said: "Actually, there is no way out. According to the rules in the palace, before the prince's wedding, the palace will send a female servant to teach the prince. You are slightly older than Ling'er. The age is not short, and it meets the requirements of a bedside lady, but... I will not hide it from you, although I am Ling'er's biological mother, but the queen is his aunt. Right, although I intend to send you there, but I don't have the right."

When Xiuyi heard that the queen would send someone to teach about water-cooled beds, she couldn't help but feel sour and astringent. She didn't know when, a strand of love had stuck to Shuiling's body, and she could no longer hold her in her eyes. No one else.She bit her lip and hesitated again and again, knelt down in front of Concubine Shen Shu, and begged: "Your Majesty, the prince is cold-tempered, and he is cold to everyone. If he is indifferent to the female servant given by the queen, wouldn't he offend the queen? It's not against the prince. The slaves have served the prince before, no matter how the prince treats the slaves, the slaves will be willing and have no complaints."

Concubine Shen Shu naturally understood it in her heart, but she knew better that before in the palace, she didn't have a lot to say, and now the emperor only favors the empress, and she has no right to speak.No matter how determined she is, she is powerless.The last time I wanted to propose marriage to the crown prince, the emperor and queen came here to make things easier for her, which made her suffer so much that she had to thank her with a smiling face.How could Concubine Shen Shu calm down? She gritted her teeth and said, "Xiuyi, I will entrust you with one thing. As long as you do this, I will definitely send you to Ling'er Palace. Before the wedding."

Xiuyi had already given up hope, but when she heard Concubine Shen Shu's words, she felt a glimmer of hope. She hurriedly raised her head to look at Concubine Shen Shu and said, "Your Majesty, please tell me, I will try my best to do it."

Concubine Shen Shu said in a low voice: "Within two days, no matter what method you use, let County Lord Lin from the Queen's Palace leave the palace. As long as you do this, I will spare no effort to let you be Ling'er's bed servant. "

Xiuyi was taken aback for a moment, she didn't know why Concubine Shen Shu would suddenly raise this condition, but as long as there was a chance, she would try her best to fight for it, Xiuyi immediately said without thinking, "Okay, I will obey your mother's orders."

Shen Shufei listened to Xiuyi's words, nodded and said: "You don't need to be on errand for these two days, just concentrate on doing this matter well, just tell me what you need, but I will promise you everything I can do."

Xiuyi bowed and said: "Yes, the servant will leave." Concubine Shen Shu hummed, waved her hand, and Xiuyi withdrew.Concubine Shen Shu looked at Xiuyi, feeling uncertain. Could Xiuyi, a little court lady, be able to do things that she couldn't do?

When Xiuyi returned to her room, she didn't light the lamp, she just sat quietly in the dark and thought hard. She was a maid of Yanqing Palace, and she couldn't even enter Kunning Palace. It was too difficult for the queen's guests to be driven out of the palace.But thinking of Shui Ling, Xiu Yi is full of fighting spirit again.In order to be with Shui Ling, let her do anything.

Xiuyi thought hard all night, her head ached, but she couldn't think of a way out. Seeing the sky outside the window was getting brighter, Xiuyi reached for the lampstand on the table, trying to blow out the oil lamp. Maybe she was too focused on thinking, and put her fingers It reached the wick, and the flames burned to Xiuyi's fingers. Xiuyi shook the lamp stand in pain, and the oil left in the lamp flowed onto the embroidery frame on the table, igniting the half-embroidered handkerchief. , Xiuyi's eyes jumped suddenly, and she forgot to put out the fire for a while, and murmured: "Set fire." The embroidery frame made of bamboo was also burning, making a crackling sound, Xiuyi came back to her senses, and hurriedly put out the fire. The fire on the table, a poisonous plan also formed in her heart.

When Daiyu was in the palace, she seldom left the Kunning Palace. Apart from being with the queen and the little prince Shui Zhan who couldn't speak but always tugged at her clothes, she just quietly read in the room. Do not leave Kunning Palace for half a step.The queen knew that Daiyu was a child who liked to be quiet and didn't like to move, so she let her be at her ease. Even if someone came to see Daiyu, the queen would push her away for Daiyu.The Empress Dowager passed away a long time ago, and the empress is the largest in the harem. With the empress' protection, even in the palace, Daiyu can feel as comfortable as at home.

Because Daiyu was in the palace, she would report to Kunning Palace on time for three meals a day.Because of the lesson from the last time, the queen ordered the eunuch of Chuanshan to remove all the desserts. Although Daiyu was puzzled, she would not ask.It was only after the main meal that the two Shuizui and Shuirong brothers left, the queen would send Daiyu various desserts carefully simmered for Daiyu to eat.

After having dinner, he sat in the Kunning Palace with the emperor, empress and Daiyu talking and laughing for a while before leaving.Seeing the reluctance hidden in Shui Chi's eyes, the emperor and the empress snickered in their hearts, and they became more and more kind to Daiyu. The empress and Daiyu went to see the little prince Shui Zhan first, and saw that Shui Zhan was asleep and held on to Daiyu tightly. The Liuhe Ruyi green and silver silk sash tied around Yu's waist did not let go, the queen smiled helplessly: "This child is really weird, Yu'er, when he grows up, he must give you back a load of silk sash Look, it's only been a few days, you've been bitten and scratched, and more than a dozen of your silk ties have been broken."

Daiyu turned around and took the small silver scissors from Huanxia's hand, cut off from the end near her waist, and said with a light smile, "It's nothing, if he likes to grab it, he can grab it, it's better than him biting his hand, the good thing is that it's still long. Teeth, or you have to gnaw your hands bald."

The queen smiled and said: "My three sons are all destined to be with Yu'er. As long as you are by my side, Qing'er Zhan'er can sleep very soundly. Qi'er never likes to talk to girls. He has been served by eunuchs since he was a child. , I don’t need any court ladies, but he treats you differently. Yu’er, Auntie has to ask you to treat the three of them better on weekdays. Children born in the royal family are not as good as Xiaomen Xiaohu’s family when they look at the scenery. happy children."

Because the queen mentioned the three sons together, Daiyu didn't think much about it, so she smiled and said: "Auntie, Yu'er likes younger brothers Qing'er and Zhan'er very much, and elder brother Chi is also very good to Yu'er, maybe it's because he doesn't have any sisters. The reason is that he loves Yu'er as his own sister. You know that Yu'er came out alone and has no siblings. Because of her aunt's love, Yu'er found the feeling of having a brother. Yu'er cherishes this feeling very much. .”

The queen was a little stunned, but quickly smiled and said, "Seeing that you are in harmony, my aunt is relieved. It's getting late, let's go, my aunt will take you to rest."

Daiyu hurriedly said: "Auntie, Yu'er can just go back to her room by herself. You have been tired all day, so go to rest."

The queen shook her head and said, "That's not acceptable. My aunt can only sleep peacefully after watching you fall asleep." The queen couldn't help saying that she picked up Daiyu and left.The Queen really did what she said, she really watched Daiyu fall asleep before leaving Daiyu's room gently.After the queen left, Daiyu opened her eyes with tears in her eyes. The tenderness and consideration of the queen made Daiyu feel the happiness of being pampered, which is the happiness of having a mother's love.

At the middle of the night, a person dressed as a little eunuch sneaked to the back wall of Kunning Palace. After making sure that there was no one around, she climbed up the big tree outside the backyard of Kunning Palace, jumped over the wall and jumped into the backyard of Kunning Palace. She sprinkled a can of lamp oil along the house of the maid and eunuch all the way to the warehouse where the silver frost charcoal was stored. The little eunuch lit a fire with a flint and scythe, and threw the sparking paper on the lamp oil.In an instant, the fire jumped up to a height of more than three feet, and the little eunuch ran away and hid behind the well room.

"Dangdangdang...it's water..." The fire alarmed the night guards outside the palace gate, and the rapid sound of gongs and shouts broke the quiet night of the palace.

The emperor turned over and jumped up. Seeing that the fire had made the window red, he hurriedly tore off the big cloak on the hanger beside the phoenix bed, wrapped the queen who had just woken up and sat up, and then jumped out of the bedroom with the queen in his arms. Everyone came up to welcome him, the emperor said in a deep voice: "Protect the queen, put out the fire quickly."

A few black shadows swished across the palace wall from outside and landed in front of the emperor and empress. The emperor shouted: "Martial law, strictly prevent anyone from taking advantage of the fire to make trouble."

In winter, the sky is dry and the things are dry, and the northwest wind is blowing up the fire. I saw raging flames rushing towards the Qianyuan Hall. The queen exclaimed: "Zhaner, Yuer, brother Tian, ​​save the children quickly." Shui Zhandai Yu's room is between the Qianyuan Hall and the queen's bedroom, the emperor immediately said in a deep voice: "Xin'er, don't worry, the fire hasn't passed yet, I'm going to save people."

The Kunning Palace ran out of water, and Shui Chi Shui Rong immediately got the news. The two of them were so frightened that they flew to the Kun Ning Palace before they even had time to put on their coats. They were only one step slower than those shadows. Not in the courtyard, his mind suddenly buzzed, Shui Chi rushed into the fire without thinking, and Shui Rong followed closely behind, also rushed in.

Daiyu felt shallow, she woke up when the fire came, Zhuying rushed to the bed and carried Daiyu out together with the quilt, Daiyu hurriedly said: "Zhuying put me down, go save Zhan'er first."

Zhu Ying jumped anxiously and said: "My dear girl, you are still thinking of others first at this time."

Daiyu said anxiously: "Zhu Ying, hurry up and save Zhan'er. You have the best lightness kung fu and the fastest movement. If you don't go, I won't go out." Zhu Ying had no choice but to turn around and rush to Shui Zhan's room.

Lan Xin quickly put a small 祆 with a bucket of beads on Daiyu's body, and took a big fur cloak and put it on Daiyu. At this time, Qingmei had opened several doors inside and outside, and Songyun grabbed the basin The basin on the rack poured all the water on the brocade quilt on the bed, and then put the whole brocade quilt over Daiyu's head. Before Daiyu could speak, her eyes went dark and she couldn't see anything. Listening to Song Yun shouting: "Lan Xin, quickly take the girl out, I will meet Zhu Ying."

Daiyu wanted to speak, but the wet brocade quilt on her head prevented her from uttering a single syllable, so Daiyu was carried by Lan Xin and rushed out of the room. Suddenly, she looked up and saw that Shui Chi had fallen from the sky, and she held Daiyu into her arms. Shui Rong rushed in and saw that Daiyu was safe, then turned and rushed to Shui Zhan's room.Just halfway through the run, I saw Zhu Ying rushing out with a big swaddle in her arms, and Song Yun held up a soaked brocade quilt to protect Zhu Ying and the little prince.Shui Rong and Song Yun supported the bamboo shadow and jumped out of the flames together.

Shui Zhan hugged Daiyu, Zhu Ying hugged the little prince Shui Zhan and rushed out of the sea of ​​flames, the emperor and queen came forward together, Shui Chi lifted the wet brocade quilt from Daiyu's body and threw it on the ground, he grabbed Daiyu's shoulders Looking up and down, seeing that Daiyu was unharmed, he let out a long breath and said, "It's fine as long as it's fine!"

Zhu Ying peeled off a layer of the big swaddle in her arms, revealing a small swaddle with bright yellow satin and red lining. Zhu Ying touched the outer skin of the swaddle, and when it was not wet, she smiled and handed the swaddle to the queen. He took it and hugged it tightly in his arms, with his face pressed against Shui Zhan's little face, and said in a low voice: "My Zhan'er..."

At this time, Shui Zhan opened his big black and white eyes, and suddenly saw some strange men in black, so he burst into tears. The queen shook and coaxed him for a long time, but Shui Zhan still couldn't stop crying. Although Naizi was also rescued, she was frightened and had no milk for a while, and she couldn't coax Shui Zhan. Hearing Shui Zhan crying loudly, and the queen and several nanny mothers couldn't coax him, Daiyu pushed him away. Shui Chi walked over, stretched out his hand for Xiao Shui Zhan to hold, and said softly, "Brother Zhan'er, don't be afraid, we are all here."

Although Daiyu had no experience in coaxing children, Shui Zhan just bought it. Hearing the soft voice, he pursed his mouth and snorted a few times, then stopped crying.It's just that the little hand firmly grasped Daiyu's fingers and did not let go, just like usually holding Daiyu's silk sash.Daiyu couldn't help laughing softly: "I can't cut off Yu'er's fingers this time, auntie, just let Yu'er hold brother Zhan'er."

The queen smiled and said: "Okay, Yu'er, you can hold him for a while. You are weak, so sit aside."

Seeing Lan Xin, Bamboo Shadow, Green Plum and Song Yun automatically protecting Daiyu, surrounding Daiyu, the queen nodded and smiled. These four girls are indeed from the Lin family, and they are indeed loyal enough.

The guards, eunuchs and court ladies ran out of the room, and they all joined the fire fighting team. Seeing that there were enough people fighting the fire, Shui Chi Shui Rong ran in front of the emperor, and Shui Chi asked eagerly, "Father, why did the Kun Ning Palace suddenly come to an end?" Fire?"

All the people the emperor cared about were safe, so he calmed down. A series of imperial edicts came out of his mouth. The fire was quickly brought under control, and the entire Kunning Palace was also sealed, only allowed to enter but not to exit.It's a pity that the emperor was still one step too late. When the eunuchs were carrying buckets of water to fight the fire, the little eunuch who set fire slipped out of Kunning Palace in the chaos.She ran to the Yu River, took off the eunuch's clothes and threw them into the river, then quietly returned to Yanqing Palace.
