The Unparalleled Warrior of the Dream of the Red Chamber

Chapter 123 Keeping the New Year Together

Shui Chi took out something wrapped in a snow-white handkerchief from his bosom and put it in Daiyu's snow-white hands.Before the veil was opened, a distant and fragrant fragrance penetrated into everyone's nostrils through the veil. When the veil was opened, a deep purple-black, oily brilliance of aloes orchid wood hairpin appeared on the ground. In front of Daiyu.

Daiyu picked up the wooden hairpin and looked at it carefully. The purple-black hairpin collar twisted naturally according to the curve of the wood grain. The head of the hairpin was a budding orchid, and there was a small one on the tip of the orchid petals. A butterfly fluttering its wings, with two rice grain-sized crystal diamonds embedded in the top of the butterfly's tendrils, the whole hairpin immediately comes alive.Shui Chi said embarrassingly: "Yu'er, I am no better than the priests, so don't think my work is crude."

Daiyu smiled and said: "Very good, Yu'er likes it very much, Lan Xin, help me get the hairpin up."

Lan Xin took off a hairpin inlaid with silver twisted silk from Daiyu's point, and put the hairpin on the butterfly love flower Shenshui fragrant wood hairpin. The jade-like blue silk was covered with a layer of halo, making Daiyu more light and moving.

The queen and Princess Beijing came over and looked at it carefully for a while, the queen smiled and said: "Qi'er really put his heart into it, this hairpin really matches Yu'er very well." Princess Beijing gave her son an angry look and had to nod Said: "It's really a good match." Shui Chi saw Daiyu wearing the hairpin he gave him, and he was very happy, and laughed from the side, completely like a little fool who fell in love.Shui Rong felt extremely depressed, and sighed in distress.Seeing the emperor secretly laughing, King Beijing Jing was anxious.

Huiyun Li Wan Wangmao brought a few maids, and hurriedly prepared a new table for the banquet. The cups, plates and bowls were all set up. Huiyun walked over and smiled deeply: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty Princess Wang, please take your seat."

Everyone sat down at the table, the emperor raised the silver statue in front of him and stood up, and everyone stood up with their cups too, the emperor slowly poured the sake from the statue on the ground, and said in a low voice: "This cup, I respect Ruhai and Min'er. "Everyone also poured the wine on the ground, and then the emperor sat down and said: "Rong'er, fill your Yu'er with wine." Shui Rong hurriedly poured the wine from the pot, and Daiyu hurriedly stood up and said, "How can you let Senior Brother Rong go?" To pour wine for Yu'er, it should be for Yu'er to pour wine."

The emperor shook his head and said: "No, listen to Uncle, let your brother Rong pour it."

Daiyu stood holding the cup and filled it with clear water. The emperor looked at Daiyu and said, "Yu'er, the first makeup, uncle has not fulfilled his responsibility to take care of you. You have suffered a lot in the capital all these years. Son, why don't you accompany Yu'er on behalf of your father."

Shui Chi really stood up and gave Daiyu a deep bow and said, "Yu'er, I'm sorry."

Daiyu couldn't accept Shui Chi's worship anyway, so she hurriedly stepped aside and bowed deeply, saying: "Brother Chi is serious, Yu'er didn't suffer much, please don't do this."

The emperor said again: "Qing'er, you toast to sister Yu'er on behalf of your father, thank you sister Yu'er for bringing happiness to our family." Daiyu was puzzled when she heard this, and only looked at the emperor and queen, who smiled and said : "Yu'er, you should drink this glass of wine. Since you entered the palace, our family really feels like a family, and it is no longer an empty title of emperor, queen, prince, and prince."

Seeing everyone's sincere eyes, Daiyu had no choice but to cover her sleeves and drink a cup sideways.The emperor smiled when he saw him: "Zhan'er is still too young, let's thank JL for saving his life when he grows up."

Seeing that the emperor's family stole the limelight in front of Daiyu, the king of Beijing Jing raised his wine and said loudly, "Yu'er, uncle is not as crooked as your emperor's uncle. Uncle just said, from now on, you are The people in our Beijing Palace are my children, Shui Jingfang. Whoever it is, even if it is your uncle the emperor, as long as someone makes you wronged, the uncle will never let him go. Uncle, it is uncle's job to take care of you."

Daiyu was the first to know the King of Beijing. When Daiyu was most helpless, it was the King of Beijing who traveled thousands of miles from Yongping Pass to Yangzhou and gave Daiyu the strongest support.Daiyu felt safe when she saw Prince Jing, she nodded obediently, and said softly to the emperor: "Uncle Emperor, since you are in the Lin family, can you follow the rules of the Lin family?"

The emperor laughed and said, "That's natural. We are guests, and you are the host. You should be the guest and do as you please."

Daiyu Fushen said: "Thank you, Uncle Emperor." Then she walked up to the King of Beijing with a small plum blossom and black silver cup, and Fushen said: "Uncle Shui, Yuer respects you on behalf of your father and mother."

King Beijing's eyes darkened slightly, he raised his head and poured a glass of wine into his throat, swallowing his memory of his righteous brother.When King Beijing drank the wine in his glass, Daiyu filled the wine pot and raised his glass again, saying, "Uncle Shui, you are Yu'er's uncle. Yu'er has no father. You must take care of yourself. Yu'er doesn't want to break her heart again."

King Beijing understood, everyone present understood, and Wang Jing said loudly: "Okay, Uncle promised Yu'er to protect himself. Uncle wants to watch Yu'er grow up, get married, and hold Yu'er's little girl." Baby."

Daiyu's face was blushing, but she didn't bow her head, she just looked at King Beijing with her clear eyes, and said with her pink and tender palms, "Uncle, a word from a gentleman..."

King Beijing laughed out loud, stretched out his palm and slapped Daiyu three times in a row, and said loudly, "It's hard to chase after a horse." Daiyu was most afraid of losing her loved ones, that's why she did this, but she didn't know what to do on the battlefield. The sword has no eyes, and the horse leather shroud is the final destination of soldiers.Because of this agreement, after the King of Beijing died in battle, Daiyu grew out of hatred. In order to avenge the King of Beijing, Daiyu and Lincheng worked together to level the world and create a prosperous generation. It's something later.

When the wine was half intoxicated and people were already half drunk, the emperor's family and the Beijing Wang's family had been accompanying Daiyu to watch the new year by the fire, and then quietly went back to the palace and the palace.If you can't sleep for two hours, it's time for all the officials to congratulate you.

Daiyu had always been a light sleeper, and she sat up after lying down for less than a second. Songyun heard the movement, so she gently raised the curtain and asked in a low voice, "Princess, what do you want?" Daiyu shook gently. Shaking her head, she waved her hand and said, "Go to sleep, I don't want anything, I just want to sit for a while, it's not too late to come again at Yinshi."

Song Yun put down the pine flower haze curtain, and lay down on the bed beside him.Daiyu hugged her knees and thought for a while, when she heard the chiming clock outside, Xueyan Chunxian and the others got up, she lifted up the curtain and hung it on the silver hook of the crescent moon, facing the girls who came in from the outside She smiled and said, "Happy New Year, everyone."

Chunxian Xueyan and Qingmei Songyun stepped forward and said, "Happy New Year, girl."

Daiyu turned around and took out four small purses from the inside of the pillow and said with a smile, "Thank you sister for taking care of me. These are purses for everyone. The spring fibers are embroidered with willow silk, the snow geese are embroidered with wild geese, and the plum blossoms are green plums. Give Songyun the one from Pine Tree, and wait for the two of them to wake up from Lanxin Zhuying." Lanxin Zhuying should sleep in their own room because they are not on duty tonight, and they haven't come yet.

Chunxian Xueyan Qingmei Songyun quickly saluted and thanked, and then took his own purse.Right now they don't care about looking at what it is, they have to do their best to dress up Daiyu and go to the palace to congratulate her.

After a while, Lanxin Zhuying came in with breakfast, Daiyu wiped her teeth with green salt, cleaned her face with fragrant pancreas, and applied skin care balm. After breakfast, she began to dress up.After everything was packed, Daiyu got into the emerald-covered and green-curtained car and went to the palace under the protection of Lin Cheng.

The morning celebration on the first day of the new year is the busiest and largest in the year.Outside the gate of the palace, most of the wives and ladies from various prefectures had already arrived. As soon as Daiyu arrived, a clean and tidy nanny stepped forward and asked with a smile, "Excuse me, but Princess Lin has arrived?"

Lan Xinzhuying got off from the car behind, and ran to Daiyu's car with small steps. Seeing that the nanny was from Nan'an Palace, she saluted with a smile: "I have seen Nanny Chen, and happy new year, nanny." .”

Chen Momo said happily: "I haven't seen you for a few days, and Miss Lan Xin is getting more and more picky. Miss Lan Xin, please go back to the Princess, our old concubine wants to invite Princess Lin to come over and talk."

Lan Xin turned around and reported back to Daiyu, who said softly, "Since the old concubine summoned me, I must go to see her."

Zhuying hurriedly took the footrests and helped Daiyu get out of the car. Daiyu smiled and nodded to Chen Nanny. Chen Nanny hurriedly knelt down to salute. Yu walked to the red-topped green woolen sedan chair a dozen steps away.

Princess Zhongshun saw Daiyu getting out of the car while sitting in the sedan chair, she thought this was a good opportunity, so she wanted to get out of the car too, but when she got out of the car, Daiyu had already boarded the big warm sedan chair of Princess Nanan, so Princess Zhongshun had to see Her wives and ladies smiled and returned to the sedan chair.

Concubine Nan'an was very happy when she saw Daiyu, she held Daiyu tightly, and talked about old things, Jia Min was very fond of Concubine Nan'an back then, now seeing Jia Min's daughter, she looks like Jia Min again Is there anyone who does not love Princess Nan'an's resemblance?After saying a few words, the palace door was rumbled open, two rows of maids lined up one by one, and the maids of ceremonies led all the wives into the palace according to their grades.

Concubine Nan'an is the highest rank, starting from the first rank, followed by Princess Beijing, who is the second rank, and then Daiyu, who is also the second rank, followed by Nan'an Princess Dongping, Concubine Xining and Princess Zhongshun.Seeing that she was so far away from Daiyu, Princess Zhongshun was secretly anxious, because after a while the seats were lined up in this order, so it would be difficult for her to get close to Daiyu.Since she couldn't do it now, Princess Zhongshun had to think of another way.

After entering the Zhaoyang Hall, the queen wore a big phoenix hairpin inlaid with rubies inlaid with red gold Jiufeng street beads, dotted with emerald greens, dressed in a mountain and river Sheji skirt, and tied with a skirt of heaven and earth geography around her waist. She sat in the Chaoyang main hall, exuding endless dignity and dignity.All the wives knelt down three times and kowtowed nine times, and after saluting, the queen smiled and said, "Give me a seat."

Concubine Nan'an sat in the first seat on the left, Princess Nan'an sat at the bottom of her head, Princess Beijing sat at the seat on the right, Daiyu sat at the bottom of her head, and below Daiyu sat Princess Dongping and Anning County Lord, Princess Xining and Princess Zhongshun sat under Princess Nan'an.At the banquet, Princess Dongping's mother and daughter did not give Daiyu a good look, Daiyu ignored them and did what she had to do, she hated Princess Dongping almost broke her teeth.

The drunken concubine was playing on the stage, and the Concubine Nan'an just smiled and said: "This child is very smart, she can sing, read, play and play very well, but she can't see her eyes clearly." The queen smiled and said: "Let her come up and let the old Dowager, take a good look."

For a moment, the little opera singer playing the imperial concubine took off her outfit and came over to kowtow, she was born with beautiful features, she looked like a clever and clever child, Princess Nan'an smiled and said: "It's true that she was born well, but it's hard for this child to be so good at such a young age." show, reward her."

The little opera singer hurriedly kowtowed to thank him, and wanted to withdraw with the reward, but when he walked in front of Princess Anning, she stopped him.

"Come here, let me see you." Princess Anning said softly.

The little actor could only stop and kneel down, and raised his head obediently. Princess An Ning said loudly on purpose: "Ah, this little actor is really good-looking. He looks very similar to Princess Lin. If he stands together, he looks like Like two sisters, Princess Lin, do you think I'm right?"

Hearing Princess Anning's words, the faces of the Queen, Princess Beijing, and Princess Nan'an all darkened. The Queen was about to get angry, but Daiyu shook her head slightly at the Queen.The queen temporarily suppressed the anger in her heart to see what Daiyu would do.

Daiyu combed a more formal Bibo Feixian bun today, put the branch of Shenshuixiang butterfly love flower on the wooden hairpin obliquely, and chose a tassel step rocking hairpin inlaid with Hepu beads on the bun, long and long. The tassels are raised high and hang down to the side of the white jade earrings with water droplets.In the middle of the hair bun was a light pink bead phoenix with a teardrop crystal in its mouth. Because it was entering the palace to celebrate, Xueyan gave Daiyu some rouge, and matched it with a bright yellow princess palace dress to set Daiyu off. Noble and generous, born with a majesty.Daiyu raised her hand and brushed the hair beside her ears, and said calmly: "Princess Dongping, your family should invite an imperial physician."

Princess Dongping predicted Daiyu's countless reactions in her heart, but she did not expect Daiyu to say such a calm sentence.She was puzzled and said, "What does Princess Lin mean?"

Daiyu still said indifferently: "Princess Anning's wedding is coming soon, but there is something wrong with her eyes, don't you want to call the imperial physician quickly, the royal family has always married a daughter-in-law, good facial features and good health are the first and most basic requirements, if you don't treat her well , wouldn’t it be a waste of marriage.”

Princess Dongping blushed, stood up and said to the queen: "Your Majesty, Princess Lin, under this great festival, has falsely accused the daughter of your courtier, and I beg your Majesty to punish her."

The queen glanced at Princess Dongping, and said with a half-smile, "Does Princess Dongping really want me to surrender?"

Seeing the look in the queen's eyes, Princess Dongping was startled and dared not answer.Daiyu got up and said to the queen: "Please look, empress, this little girl has a face like a silver basin, eyes like water apricots, and a plump figure, so she can play the luxurious and rich Concubine Yang, but in the eyes of Princess Anning It's thin and thin like bamboo, isn't it because the eyes are out of order? If the minister is wrong, it's not that there is something wrong with Princess Anning's eyes, then it's because Princess Anning deliberately used an actor to compare the minister to the minister. Shi Shuxiang, I absolutely cannot be insulted like this, please make it clear to the empress."

Daiyu's words put Princess Dongping into a dilemma. If she admits that Princess Anning has a problem with her eyes, she will lose her chance to marry into the royal family forever. If she admits that she insulted Princess Anning, Princess Anning will be severely punished.The queen nodded and said, "Princess Dongping, what do you think?"

Concubine Nan'an saw that Daiyu's mind was bright and intelligent, such a few words put Princess Dongping's mother and daughter in a dilemma, she smiled slightly.Princess Beijing and Princess Nan'an both nodded secretly, praising Daiyu in their hearts.Princess Zhongshun's heart sank, and she said to herself: "I never thought that this little girl is so talkative." Princess Xining lived in the Buddhist hall for a long time and only entered the palace once a year. She just closed her eyes and rested, slowly twisting the green sandalwood beads , I can't see any expression.

Princess Dongping gritted her teeth, pulled the Chairman of Anning County to kneel before the steps, kowtowed and said: "My little girl eats too much wine and talks nonsense, my concubine has no way to teach my daughter, please forgive me." Princess Anning was struggling, and Princess Dongping lowered her head. He raised his voice and said: "Quickly confess your crime and beg for mercy." After hearing what Princess Dongping said, Princess Anning could only kowtow unwillingly and said, "Anning's eyes are dazzled by drinking too much, please take care of Anning's young age. Forgive An Ning."

After hearing this, Princess Bei Jing said indifferently: "I have heard that Princess An Ning is good at drinking, and can drink half a catty of the most powerful burning knife, which is very similar to that of Princess Dongping back then. How could it be possible to drink a few cups of rice wine and be dazzled? ?”

Princess Dongping was originally jealous of Princess Beijing. After hearing these words, she was anxious and hated, but she couldn't explain it. She kowtowed to the queen and said, "My daughter has been busy studying housekeeping recently. If she is tired, she will be overwhelmed with alcohol."

The Empress looked at Daiyu, Daiyu understood, got up and said: "Since Princess An Ning has had too much wine, she has misjudged her vision, Empress Empress, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, let her be spared this time."

The queen said in a deep voice: "An Ning, if Princess Jiangxian hadn't interceded for you, I would never forgive you, so why don't I thank Princess Jiangxian."

Princess Anning got up with hatred, walked to Daiyu and said hastily, "Thank you, Princess Jiangxian."

But Daiyu returned the gift seriously, and said lightly: "Xiang Xian dare not take credit, it is the empress's kindness, Jiang Xian only has one word to say to Princess Anning."

Princess Anning had no choice but to lower her head and blushed and said in a muffled voice, "Princess Jiangxian, please speak."

Daiyu said lightly: "Princess An Ning, it's a mistake to drink, please respect yourself."

Princess Anning was angry and ashamed, her face flushed, she said she didn't want to, and she committed the crime of deceiving the emperor if she said no, she just responded indiscriminately, with all her hatred suppressed in her heart.Even Princess Dongping felt ashamed after hearing Daiyu's words, and hated Daiyu even more in her heart.Concubine Shen Shu, who was sitting at the table, also felt that her face was lacklustre, she just snorted heavily, her eyes were like knives, and she shot into Princess Dongping and Princess Anning, feeling increasingly dissatisfied with this marriage.

Grand Concubine Nan'an's smile became stronger and she kept nodding. Princess Beijing was always proud of Daiyu in her heart, and said to herself, "As expected of sister Min's daughter, she is the most outstanding." Those who couldn't understand the meaning behind Daiyu's words held back their laughter, and dared not look down on this soft and weak Princess Jiangxian any more.Princess Dongping felt ashamed, so she took her daughter and resigned as queen in despair, and went back to the palace.As soon as she got into the sedan chair of Dongping Prince's Mansion, Princess Anning hugged Princess Dongping and burst into tears...
