Xiaoxiang Water Cloud in the Red Chamber

Another year spring comes early, with willow eyes and gills, each charming.

The Beijing Prince's Mansion brought Daiyu as soon as the first month passed, and Lin Yifei didn't go again this time. Anyway, the Beijing Palace was the same as his own, so he had nothing to worry about, and just went to do his own business.

Daiyu lives with the concubine every day, so she feels at ease, and occasionally Shui Rong comes to accompany her when she is free, the two of them are now in love, their hearts are connected, they feel much closer than before.

The sky is bright and clear, the willows are shaking and the wind is fragrant.Daiyu and a few maids were playing in Qingyao Garden. The maids were playing with the grass or looking at the flowers.Daiyu was a little tired after playing for a while, so she sat on the swing and swayed gently, holding a book and reading, whispering Yanyu in her ears, accompanied by the happy laughter of the girls, she was indescribably carefree and warm.

Yuehua played for a while and saw Daiyu on the swing, hurriedly came over and smiled, "Miss, don't read, it's not good for your eyes to swing like this."

Daiyu put down the book with a smile and said, "I haven't read it either, I was just distracted."

Yuehua smiled and said: "They girls are naughty enough, they actually put the girl aside, let me talk to the girl."

Daiyu looked at Xueyan and others who were playing in the distance with a smile, and said gently: "It's rare for them to be at ease, if they can be carefree like this every day, I will be happy."

Yuehua admired: "As expected, the girl is the most pitiful, and Minger will not spoil us."

Daiyu tilted her head to look at Yuehua, her eyes were shining, she looked puzzled, and said with a smile: "When did Sister Yuehua get spoiled, why didn't I know?"

Yuehua sneered, and said: "Young girls know how to make fun of people. Speaking of which, the young girls are getting older, so they should put on some majesty and call us little sisters every day. It's not good for others to see. The girl lost her identity."

Daiyu said: "What's wrong, I only see you as my sisters. What about girls, I admire your character the most, and this is the most precious thing. Speaking of which, there are many rich ladies out there who can't compare to you. Yes, why can't I call you elder sister? You are underestimating yourself. Besides, I would never dare to treat you as the current people. You are the people who do big things outside, and you are wronged if you follow me. "

Yuehua said with a smile: "Young lady doesn't care about these things, it's the girl's benefit, but we have to obey."

Daiyu asked suspiciously, "Is it possible that someone has blamed all of you?"

Yuehua smiled and said, "Nothing, I'm just discussing the matter."

Daiyu said: "That's good, otherwise I'll have to ask him to settle the score. I have my own standards for people, and I don't need others to pick them. If it's not good, she is a rich lady. I don't care. I will understand it, if it is good, I will not underestimate even the beggars on the side of the road. It is just an arrangement of the heavens, and people without restraint are trapped in it all their lives. How many secluded knights in the book They are just ordinary people, but they are not comparable to you and me, and we can only look up to them. Therefore, I don't know what benefits I have to show off."

Yuehua sighed: "Miss sees clearly, but it reminds me of the three girls from the Jia family that you mentioned. It would be great if that girl could think the same way. I heard Xueyan and the others talk about it a few times. , now the good girls are actually disgusting, and hearing their regretful tone, I think the three girls were good in the past, but now they are a pity."

Daiyu swayed slowly on the swing, looked at the distant clouds in the sky, and said sadly: "Third Younger Sister still hasn't completely lost her kind heart, but it's a pity that her heart has been covered with dust. I have worked hard, It turned out to be counterproductive, but I don’t want to bother with it anymore, it’s not that I’m cruel, it’s because everyone has their own opportunity, no matter how hard you try, it’s just useless, you have to realize it yourself, I’m afraid When I wake up, I don’t know if it’s still too late. Sigh, I’m also upset when I talk about the Jia Mansion, and I don’t know if I can help my brother.”

Yuehua smiled and said, "Girl, don't worry too much. It's impossible for everything to go as smoothly as the clear water. Just check slowly."

Daiyu nodded sullenly and said, "I know it myself. How about the water being clear?"

Yuehua shook her head and said: "We don't know either. It seems that the prince will investigate again, so we don't need to bother. After all, we can't help much anymore."

Daiyu sighed: "We enjoy the glory every day, but there are so many people out there who go through life and death for our purity and wealth. I feel quite disturbed when I think about it."

"Hehe, I'm really ashamed to have such an idea." A deep and magnetic voice came from the gate of the garden.

Daiyu and Yuehua were taken aback, Daiyu hurriedly stopped the swing, came down and saw three men walking in the door, only Shui Rong knew each other, one of the other two was about 50 years old, handsome in appearance, five A black beard, a pair of red phoenix eyes with majesty in peace, nobleness in gentleness, quite a kind of arrogance to rule the world; the other is 26 years old, his appearance is seventy percent like that of the older person, and he can be seen at a glance as father and son. That elder was a little more gentle and kind.It was the older one who spoke.

Daiyu was a little displeased, why these people broke into the inner courtyard without saying hello, even Shui Rong had notified her every time.It can be seen that it was brought in by Shui Rong, and it was hard to say anything else, so she could only congratulate slightly and said: "The little girl has nothing to do, she didn't know that there was a guest here, she was impolite, so I will leave." Then she took a few steps back to leave .That side of Shui Rong had a gloomy face, with a trace of pride in it, and the other young man was thoughtful, and he could vaguely see the color of amazement.

Hearing Daiyu's mellow and clear voice, the leader was quite satisfied with his reserved demeanor, neither humble nor overbearing, he was very satisfied, and said with a smile: "Miss Lin, you don't have to be like this, I guessed what you said, you are picking on us. Shui Rong said I still didn’t believe it, but now I can learn. In Xiashuiyan, he is your father’s best friend and also Shui Rong’s elder, and that is my son Shui Ze, who is also your elder brother, so you don’t have to restrain yourself to avoid it.”

A trace of surprise flashed in Daiyu's eyes, her eyes shifted, and she bowed in a fluttering voice: "Minister, please see the emperor's long live, and the prince's thousand years old." , dare not look up.The elder looked at Daiyu with a smile, a trace of admiration flashed in his eyes, he waved his hand and said, "Get up, don't be alarmed, Miss Lin is very kind." He sat down on the stone bench next to him casually.

Daiyu thanked and stood up, wondering what the emperor was doing out of nowhere.

Shui Yan looked at the beautiful woman in front of him carefully, she was slim and elegant, she was elegant and clear, and said with a smile: "Your name is Daiyu, your eyebrows are like Dai, Yan Ruyu, a good name. You are worthy of being the daughter of Ruhai, a family of poems and books for generations, with a whole body His literary and poetic rhyme is generous and elegant." As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Shui Rong, and smiled slightly.

Daiyu smiled faintly and said, "Long live the prize."

Shui Yan waved his hand and said: "Forget it, we don't need to talk about these nonsense anymore. Today I came here in humble clothes. I only talk about relatives regardless of monarchs and ministers. I was originally your father's senior brother. Speaking of which, you have to call me uncle, no need Long live is long and long live is short. Sit down, all of you."

Daiyu smiled and said, "Since a commoner girl is so high, Daiyu has met her uncle. It's just that my uncle only talked about relatives, but he talked about each other. How dare a commoner girl call me that." She pursed her lips and smiled again to salute.

Shui Yan laughed and said joyfully, "Okay, what a delicate and transparent child."

The three of Shui Rong were all seated, Shui Yan said: "I knew that Ru Hai gave birth to a good daughter, but it's a pity that I haven't had the chance to see you in the capital for so many years. Only when I saw you today did I know what is light and graceful, beautiful and blue-hearted." , compared to those girls in my family. Alas, your father has devoted himself to the country, but I have made you suffer so much. "

Daiyu smiled and said: "Uncle is too famous. Daiyu is a small family, but she only keeps her duty and has no advantages over others. How can the light of a firefly compare with the princess. Daiyu has not done much in recent years. What wronged me? Although my uncle has never seen me, I still think about ordering the imperial doctor to give Daiyu a little girl to recuperate her body. Daiyu has always been grateful. Compared with those other family members who have served the country, if Daiyu said that she was wronged But it’s so unlucky.”

Shui Yan sighed: "It's hard for you to understand the general situation. If everyone has your thoughts, how many disputes and injustices will be reduced. Although you don't complain, your father is wronged for you. Seeing you like this really makes me fall in love , in the future, I will come to the palace to accompany me more, and it will also relieve my worries."

Shui Rong frowned when he heard this, with a look of reluctance on his face.Daiyu also didn't want to go to that kind of place, so she raised her eyebrows and said, "I'm afraid that Daiyu's behavior will be inappropriate and the etiquette will be rough. It would be bad if she lost her manners."

Shui Yan stared at Daiyu with a dark face, stroked his beard and said: "Everyone wants to run to the palace, but you are afraid to avoid it. Could it be that you still look down on me? I will order you to enter the palace tomorrow. Could it be that you also want to resist the decree?" Shui Rong and the others were puzzled by why Shui Yan suddenly made trouble, and their faces changed.

Daiyu made up her face slightly, got up and said: "Daiyu dare not. It's just that the honey is my arsenic. Long live the palace is good, but it may not be suitable for Daiyu, it is what Daiyu likes. Minnv just Said what was in her heart, if she made Wansui angry, Daiyu would have to apologize. Wansui is a golden word, so there is no need to ask others what they think, if Wansui makes an order, why would Daiyu resist it."

Shui Yan listened to Daiyu's soft and firm words, and saw that Daiyu responded calmly, without any fear, with a faint firm look in her eyes. Yes, it seems unreasonable for me to blame you, and I have become that fatuous and reckless king. Don't be angry, Yu'er, I just tested you just now. It is said that you are indifferent to fame and wealth, but I miss you a little How can a girl not have the slightest vanity to compete for favor, so she lied to you, but even your courage has been taught. Don't sit down, otherwise the eyes of the Rong boy will eat people."

Shui Rong heaved a sigh of relief, Daiyu blushed when she heard the emperor's teasing, and said in embarrassment: "Brother Rong cannibalism is none of my business?"

Shuiyan laughed, and Shuize also smiled slightly, but there was a trace of reluctance and regret in Daiyu's eyes.

Shui Yan sighed, and said a little lonely: "But I sincerely want Yu'er to go to the palace sometimes to play, and I stay there, but there is not even one person who speaks the truth. He's arsenic to me. It must be honey."

Shui Rong muttered beside him: "Why is there no one, the truthful words of Aunt Empress and Brother Prince aren't enough for Long Live to listen to?"

Shui Yan looked at Shui Rong with a smile and said, "I'm tired of listening to their truths for more than 20 years, you don't have to protect your Yu'er tightly, as if anyone but you would wrong her, really. When did you become so narrow-minded?"

Shui Rong smiled wryly.Daiyu was a little sentimental when she heard Shuiyan's slightly melancholy words, but the desolate mood at that moment was like a lone wild goose in the setting sun. I will never quit."

Shuiyan's face is full of spring breeze, and his eyes are full of joy, but Shui Rong's face is downcast, lamenting that Daiyu is too soft-hearted, and he really doesn't want her to go to such a complicated place.But when I think about it, Daiyu will have to face these sooner or later, and I feel relieved. I just hope that the emperor will not think of Daiyu often on a whim.But judging from the emperor's attitude towards Daiyu, it is obvious that this is impossible, Shui Rong only feels that the future is bleak.

Shuiyan no longer deliberately made things difficult for Daiyu, the two of them talked about poetry and songs, and they felt quite happy, and Shui Rong also joined in, and the garden was full of beautiful words, calligraphy and calligraphy.

Shui Ze looked at Daiyu talking and laughing freely, the brows and corners of the eyes were full of noble Qinghua like the moon, her clear face was full of confidence, calmness and elegance, her pair of bright autumn eyes were as clear as crystal, she didn't wait for any filthy calculations, and she didn't have any humility and tenderness. feel intoxicated.I sigh in my heart, Yiren is like a poem, such a beauty should only exist in the sky, and it is difficult to find it in the world.

Although Shui Rong was talking, he also saw the obsessive look on Shui Ze's face, and he was angry and jealous, and said, "The prince is so silent, it's not like your character."

Shui Ze was startled like hearing thunder, and saw Shui Rong looking at him angrily, with faint anger in his eyes.Father and Daiyu were also drawn to look at themselves.Panicked in my heart, I smiled and said: "My poetry and songs are mediocre, you are all full of knowledge and reading poetry, how dare I play tricks, just listen to the long-term experience."

Shui Rong snorted and said, "Prince, why should you be modest, I hear the Tai Tuo praise the Prince every day, if you are also uneducated, then I was just a shallow clown, boasting without a single point of ability."

Hearing the words that smelled like water-soluble gunpowder, Shui Ze gave a wry smile and said, "Brother Rong is picking on me today, I don't mean that anymore."

Shuiyan was a bystander, so he naturally knew the joints, and said with a smile: "Rong'er is going to have a firecracker battle today, okay, I get it, you blame me for us taking the time you and Yu'er are alone, Ze'er, let's not be so wince , the palace may not know how to find us, your mother may not be able to handle it, let's go back now."

Mizusawa was a little bit reluctant but couldn't refute it, Shi Shi responded lightly and got up to leave.Shui Rong and Daiyu hurriedly see each other off.After walking a long distance, looking back, he saw Daiyu's slim figure and Shui Rong standing together, they were really a pair of people, as if they were born to stand side by side like this.Shui Rong didn't know what he said to Daiyu, Daiyu looked at him, although she couldn't see the expression clearly, she could draw in her heart the elegant appearance of frowning and smiling.Thinking of Daiyu not looking directly at her at all, her heart became more sour, as if lost.

Shuiyan's son let out a very soft sigh, sighed in his heart, and said with a slight smile: "Why, I'm tempted, don't forget that I have already given them a marriage. You've seen it too, they're not something you can get involved in, so stop thinking about them as soon as possible."

Shui Zewei complained a little: "Such a good woman is not only beautiful and intelligent, but also understanding and compassionate. Why doesn't the father leave it to his own children? It would be cheaper for Shui Rong."

Shui Yan said: "I haven't thought about it, but I have heard about this child's appearance and heart. Do you think such a pure and clear person is suitable for living in the palace. Not to mention that Lin Ruhai is unwilling, even that child will not be willing. You I also heard that she avoids the palace like a snake and a scorpion. And as Ruhai said, his son-in-law must be a couple for life like him. Do you think you have a chance? You have several concubines now. Do you have the heart to let her be a concubine or concubine? My child, with our status, there are some people we are destined not to have. It is a blessing to be able to see them from a distance, just like Jia Min back then and Lin Daiyu now. If you seriously want to snatch it, think about whether she can withstand it."

Mizusawa murmured: "What's the matter? If I marry her, I can protect her. One generation after another is just a formality. Isn't my heart the same with her? I don't believe I can't compare to Shui Rong, If she accepts me, she will naturally accept my life."

There was a hint of toughness in Shui Yan's words, and said: "She has fallen in love with Shui Rong, and you think she is the kind of superficial woman who looks towards Qin Muchu. Since you are one step behind, you have already missed your life. And as you, if you are serious and only Doting on a person, being a father will not let her exist, you have no right to indulge a person."

Shui Ze shivered, frowned and said, "Father, this is not fair! Why can't my son have someone he likes?"

Mizusawa sighed: "Of course you can have someone you like, but you can't have them, otherwise it will be a disaster. As a prince, those concubines of yours are just tools to balance power. If you break this balance, the consequences may be difficult for you. Expected. Why is it unfair, you enjoy the greatest dignity in the world, you are destined to shoulder your own responsibilities, and you are also destined to lose something."

Mizusawa sighed, with the beautiful figure of Daiyu floating in his head, feeling infinitely sentimental in his heart.Why you and I will miss.Father's words were a wake-up call, if he fell in love with her, she would have to die, even though it was not her fault, but he was really not reconciled.That figure has already been engraved in my heart at the first sight, how can I be willing to erase her alive again.

Not to mention that Shuize was full of thoughts, but Daiyu pouted her lips in dissatisfaction when she saw Shuiyan and Shuize leave, and said, "Brother Rong just brought outsiders in so casually."

Shui Rong sighed helplessly: "One emperor and one prince, what can I do? The emperor has always been curious about you, and this time something just happened to come out, thinking that you are here with me, so I have to come and see. I also said that if you don't know Surely you won't be angry, but he doesn't believe it, saying that when you see that I brought them in, you will naturally know that they are very prestigious people, so you will definitely not be angry. I have no choice but to bring them in."

Daiyu sighed, and said: "I hope there will be no extra problems. Although 'Uncle Shui' is good, but 'Emperor' makes me feel uncomfortable." What she didn't say was that the prince also made her uncomfortable, more than half It's too rude to stare at yourself for a long time, but you can't complain to Shui Rong, Shui Rong is already angry about it, and after listening to your own complaints, it's not good to have a quarrel with the prince, I don't know the prince's temper, in case One is a vengeful, wouldn't he put Brother Rong in an embarrassing situation.With a faint sigh, there was a hint of worry in his eyes, and he thought to himself that he would never see him again.
