Xiaoxiang Water Cloud in the Red Chamber

Daiyu felt even more troubled, her elder brother is the Governor of Shuntian Prefecture, and now such a big incident happened under his rule must be said to be her elder brother's dereliction of duty, she knew that her elder brother was a very strong person, so this blow must not be small.Looking at the expressionless face, I wonder why I feel annoyed and ashamed.

Listening to the three people's head-to-head analysis there, Daiyu couldn't figure it out, and Daiyu was also a little impatient. Seeing her frowning, Shui Rong felt distressed, took Daiyu's hand and said: "What hurdles we can't get over, Dai'er Don't worry."

Seeing that Shui Rong generously held Daiyu's hand, but Daiyu didn't try to break free, her teeth started to turn sore, knowing that she was jealous, she couldn't help but stare and said: "Yes, Yu'er, just recite poems carefully." Painting, just walking around and having fun when you are bored, I will let us big men handle these things."

When Daiyu heard what Shuize said, she was a little annoyed immediately. Let alone the title of "Yu'er", which has been repeatedly said to be invalid, just talking about what just said by Shuize made people feel uncomfortable. Daiyu felt that he was underestimating him. It doesn't mean that.Sighing in my heart, this Shuize is indeed inferior to Shui Rong. Shui Rong treats her with equal eyes. Although she is very protective, she never regards herself as the dodder that is attached to others. Treat yourself as someone who needs to be put behind you.But it was meaningless, because I didn't like him at all.She ignored Shui Ze, raised her eyebrows and said, "Brother, I think the person who what I said to inform Yuan Chun is very suspicious. The palace is strictly guarded, and there are very few people who are not under the emperor's control. But how did he get the news It's really hard to say clearly, but Yu'er thinks it will never go beyond the scope of the imperial study room's hidden guards and Ouchi guards."

Shui Rong sighed: "Even so, it's just speculation. If it's really that person, he would hate the Lin family very much. Those hidden guards were born and died for the emperor. It would be hurtful to suspect rashly, so we can only investigate slowly."

Shui Ze had a flash of inspiration, and said: "It's better to lead the snake out of the hole and catch the turtle in the urn." After speaking, he regretted it, and then shrank his head when he saw Shui Rong's murderous gaze.

Daiyu continued: "That's fine, then I'll go into the palace. If it's really that person, he should make some moves after seeing me go. If not, he should just go to open his eyes."

Shui Rong hurriedly shook his head and said: "No, it's okay to go to the doctor in a hurry, if it's not okay, it's really that person, wouldn't you be in danger, how can I let you go to the bait."

Daiyu smiled and said, "Brother Rong, what are you afraid of? Will you put me in danger?"

Yifei looked at Daiyu gratefully and said: "My sister has already done a lot, so let's leave this matter alone." The younger sister hates the royal family the most, if it wasn't for her relatives, why would she go there against her will.

Daiyu said: "Actually, I'm a little girl, I guess people don't see it at all. The role I can play is just an introduction. If I can be useful, I will immediately retire after attracting people. I don't care about the rest. How could it be dangerous?"

Shui Rong sighed, and said: "In this way, Dai'er's status as princess will be revealed, and Yu'er is ready to deal with it."

Daiyu nodded and smiled, and Shui Rong said helplessly: "Forget it, I can't say enough about you, but I will arrange a few other people to stand by your side, in short, your safety is the most important thing."

Daiyu pulled Shui Rong and said, "Brother Rong, I'm sorry, I have to worry you again." Her eyes were full of love, full of happiness: Thank you for always tolerating my willfulness, thank you for letting me have a common sky.

Shui Rong was a little emotional, with tenderness in his eyes, he knew why her Dai'er was so enthusiastic, not only for the sake of her family, country, but also trying to find a way to create the future that he always wanted with him: on the top of the clouds, quietly watching the fleeting years change , Indifferent to the busyness of the world.

On the second day, the queen ordered that Lin Daiyu, Jia Min's daughter, was in Beijing. The queen thought about her confidantship with Jia Min back then, and invited Daiyu to live in the palace for a short time to comfort her missing.

Daiyu was grateful in her heart, if it would indeed cause gossip in the name of the emperor, it would be different for the empress.It's just that she doesn't know about her confidant. Concubine Bei Jing was quite puzzled when she saw her, and said with a smile: "Miss Min was the queen's first-class chastity in the palace. She was named master and servant but she was a sister. Everyone knows it, even the Jia family knows it, back then they dreamed of letting Minmei rely on the queen to become a concubine." She was really worried that she wanted to send Daiyu to the palace herself.

Daiyu nodded, feeling a little affectionate towards the queen, not to mention that the queen is the cousin of Concubine Bei Jing, so she should be easy to get along with.

She drove slowly all the way in the sedan chair, and for the first time walked into the place where the red walls and yellow glass were.The tall palace walls make people feel mighty and solemn, but they are too depressing and cold.

All the way to the harem, a court lady had brought Daiyu to the Kunning Palace long ago.

Empress Meng Yaohuan sat on the couch, smiled and ordered the maid to support the body of Dowager Bei Jing who was about to worship, and said with a smile: "Your sister is being too polite, how many times have I said this, you are still doing this, please sit down quickly." Picking up Daiyu, the queen asked the maid to send Daiyu to look at her carefully for a while, then took Daiyu's hand and smiled at Princess Beijing, "Like, really like, she's like the sister Min from more than 20 years ago. But Yu'er It looks more intelligent than sister Min." As he spoke, his eyes dimmed, and the water inside flickered.Daiyu mourned in her heart, and tears fell down her cheeks.

The queen hurriedly hugged Daiyu and said with a smile: "Look, it's mine, I made you cry when I first came here. Good boy, don't cry, your aunt's eyes are almost popping out."

Daiyu couldn't help laughing through tears.The queen dragged Daiyu to sit on the couch, and ordered people to take the gift, and Daiyu hurriedly stood up to thank her.

The three chatted and chatted, and the concubine went back.After a while, a court lady came in and said, "Everyone is here."

The queen sighed and said, "Please come in."

Daiyu felt a little uncomfortable, but she came here to attract the people behind the scenes, so the bigger the noise, the better, so she had to move to the next seat.A gust of fragrant wind blew across the face, and more than a dozen concubines and maids came in in clusters of flowers. Those people couldn't help being shocked when they saw Daiyu, and thought to themselves what a beautiful woman.Today Daiyu is wearing the gorgeous court dress of the princess, which is even more luxurious, like a fairy concubine. Although those concubines don't know who they are, they feel a sense of crisis spontaneously.

The concubines saluted and sat down according to their status.Concubine Zhou was straight-mouthed and jealous, so she smiled and said: "Your Majesty, what kind of princess is this seated here? She is so luxurious, and all the people in our palace put together are not as beautiful as this girl."

The queen frowned, and said: "This is the daughter of Lord Lin Ruhai, the former inspector of salt, and Princess Ningxin, who was proclaimed by the Holy Majesty. Her brother is almost the champion of this new department. I invite her to be a guest because I am a close friend of her mother. Yes. Sister Zhou, be careful what you say, don't lose your dignity and let the little girl see the joke."

Concubine Zhou blushed. Seeing the other concubines smiling, she felt embarrassed, and said with a sneer, "Your Majesty is joking. It's just that the concubine sees Miss Lin's charm and likes to speak out. I hope your Majesty will not be offended."

The Queen smiled and nodded.Daiyu hurriedly got up and met all the concubines.But Zhong Yuanchun was startled, thinking to himself why this cousin Lin entered the palace, and the family didn't send a message to him.She had never seen Daiyu suddenly feel a sense of crisis at this moment, it is not an exaggeration to say that such a woman is a fairy, what does it mean that the empress suddenly invited her into the palace, does she want to use her to tie the emperor's heart?It's impossible to think about it, the emperor loves the queen very much, she doesn't need to find a strong rival.The concubine below is also guessing.

The queen could see the thoughts of the people below, and a helpless sneer flashed across the corner of her mouth.Yuan Chun saw that the queen was very fond of Daiyu, and felt anxious. She believed that she was pregnant now, so she was not as cautious as before, so she smiled and said, "I didn't know that Cousin Lin came to the palace today. I should have known that Cousin would also take good care of her." Get ready, my sister is so radiant, it is obvious that everything is fine in Jia's house, so I am relieved. I am sorry to see you alone and helpless, if it is not for the old lady to take pity on you, what should I do."

Before Daiyu could speak, the Empress had already sneered and said, "I just said that Princess Lin is the younger sister of the champion of the new department, but sister Yuan said that Princess Lin is lonely and helpless, so what's the point? , I want Miss Lin to come to your mansion to help teach. Why did the emperor order the princess to give up her own house and live in your Jia mansion? Sister Yuan is usually very smart. Why is she speaking so out of tune this time? Could it be that she didn’t wake up today? Let me tell you if you are not in good health, is Ben Gong still that inconsiderate?"

Yuan Chun's face immediately turned red, she was trying to shame Daiyu by her explicit compliments, but she was froze by the empress, and she dared not reply, so she just said in a low voice, "The concubine doesn't mean anything else, it's just that the elder brother of the cousin of the Lin family wanted to embarrass Daiyu. It's the step-son, Yuan Chun forgot it for a while, and I hope the Empress and Cousin Lin are not to blame."

Daiyu smiled lightly and said, "The concubine Yuan was joking, how dare Daiyu blame her, she is grateful for her caring greetings."

Yuan Chun smiled and went down the steps too.The concubines saw that the two noble concubines suffered setbacks one after another, so they didn't dare to show their dissatisfaction and suspicion on the surface, and only talked about useless gossip.

At this time, the eunuch shouted: "The emperor is here."

Everyone was shocked and hurriedly got up to greet him.Shui Yan walked in with a smile, and said with a smile: "Queen is really busy today."

After leading the crowd to salute, the queen smiled and said, "Why did the emperor come here just after he came down?"

Shui Yan said with a smile: "Didn't you know that Zi Tong has a guest today, and he will definitely bring out the good wine that is treasured. I came here just smelling the aroma of the wine."

The queen laughed, not being funny in front of so many people, she just laughed and said: "The emperor is joking, how can the wine of my concubine compare to the wine of your majesty."

The concubines were jealous when they saw the emperor and laughed at Yan Yan, but the two of them have been in trouble for decades, and this relationship cannot be shaken by others, so they can only feel jealous in their hearts.

Shui Yan said: "By the way, who is Zitong inviting today?"

The hearts of the concubines immediately rose to their throats.The queen held Daiyu back and smiled and said, "Your Majesty, do you still remember?" Daiyu hurriedly visited again, Shuiyan looked at it and said with a smile: "So it's Miss Lin, last time you were a guest at the Prince's Mansion in Beijing, I said I wanted you Come, it turned out that there was no chance, and the queen took the lead."

Daiyu smiled and said, "Daiyu is grateful for the kindness of the emperor and empress."

The emperor smiled and said: "Don't be too reserved, I think that when I was studying with your father, I didn't do any naughty things, we are not so lucky."

Daiyu nodded in agreement, and said with a smile, "Even though it's so polite, it doesn't cost much."

The emperor nodded in admiration and said: "As expected of Ruhai's daughter, your elder brother is also very good. Fortunately, you have an elder brother, otherwise you wouldn't let outsiders plot." In Yuanchun, the hairs stand on end.

The emperor said a few words to order all the concubines to go down, looked at Daiyu and said, "I really wronged Yu'er."

Daiyu smiled indifferently and said: "Your Majesty is serious, Daiyu is just doing her best."

Shui Yan was disappointed and said: "Even if you can do this, it's ridiculous that the officials in the court don't want to serve the country and only enjoy the glory."

Daiyu said with a smile: "Why should the emperor sigh, there have been good and evil in the past dynasties, how can the emperor really have no available people under his command?"

Shui Yan smiled and said to the queen: "Look at this girl, I'm right, she's absolutely good at speaking, secretly reminding me not to chill the hearts of those responsible officials."

The queen laughed and said, "Yu'er is always smart."

While talking, lunch was set, and the three of them ate together, and the emperor gave a few more instructions to go away.Here the empress arranged for Daiyu to live in the Zixia Pavilion next to her bedroom, accompanied by her first-rank female official, Nanny Chang, while she went to take care of chores in the palace.

Daiyu took Hongyan Yuehua Luqing and the bodyguard Lvqi sent by Shui Rongyou to stroll in the imperial garden.After walking around carelessly for a few times, there was no one suspicious, Daiyu secretly figured out how the person wanted to appear, and returned to Zixia Pavilion listlessly.

Hong Yan smiled and said: "Girl, don't be discouraged, how could it be so fast."

Daiyu said sullenly: "I didn't hold out much hope, I just took my chances. I took it all as if I came to play this time." Both herself and Brother Rong knew that this was just a guess, and they wouldn't bet the safety on themselves. this aspect.

The next day all the concubines greeted the queen, and the concubine Yuan said: "Your Majesty, Yuan Chun and Cousin Lin haven't seen each other for many years, and I would like to invite my cousin to my Fengzao Palace, what do you think?"

The queen thought that this was understandable, and said: "She is young, so don't wrong her."

Yuan Chun said with a smile: "The concubine and the princess are close relatives, how could my cousin be wronged."

Daiyu came to Fengzao Palace with four maids, Yuan Chun courteously asked Daiyu to sit down, Daiyu looked at it slightly, this Fengzao Palace was incomparably luxurious with jewels, she sighed slightly in her heart, the phoenix fell into the mud, whose fault is it ?

Yuan Chun said affectionately: "My sister has been in Beijing for a few years and I haven't had the chance to see you. It's a pity. I thought I could see you last time, but my sister didn't come."

Daiyu said indifferently: "Niangniang personally wants to talk more with her close relatives. How can Daiyu disturb the reunion with her family?"

Yuan Chun smiled lightly and said: "Cousin is too polite." At this time her personal maid came up with a piano and made tea, and Yuan Chun proudly said: "Sister, try this is the big red robe that the emperor rewarded me before. I can't drink it even if I am pregnant. Tea, it will be ruined if left alone."

Daiyu smiled and said: "Thank you, Ma'am." Picking up the teacup and smelling the tea lightly, peeking at Yuehua and nodding her head, she took a sip with peace of mind, and it was really fragrant.

Yuan Chun said again: "Is everything alright at home? Did my sister bring any words to the palace this time?"

Daiyu laughed and said, "Daiyu was heard by Queen Meng when she returned home. The old lady and the others don't know what happened suddenly. I think everything will be fine in Jia's mansion."

Yuan Chun smiled and said: "So that's how it is. There are many rules in the palace. My sister must be cautious in her words and deeds. Who is easy to get along with in this palace. Although I have children, if something happens, I can't protect my sister."

Daiyu said coldly: "Daiyu is not a person who doesn't understand the rules. Even if things happen to her, it is Daiyu's fault alone, and she will never be troubled by the empress."

Yuan Chun blushed, and said with a smile: "Sister, don't worry too much, I didn't mean that, but I was always startled every step of the way in the palace, so I just told my sister."

After saying a few more words, Daiyu said goodbye and went back.Seeing her coming back, the Queen smiled and said, "How is Concubine Yuan, did she say anything wrong?"

Daiyu said with a smile: "Why, it's just chatting about homework."

There was a trace of compassion on the queen's face, and she sighed: "She is not bad, but it's a pity..."

Daiyu said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you don't have to sigh. The cause and effect cannot be explained by others. Your Majesty..." Daiyu wanted to say something again, but suddenly felt a chill coming out of her bones, and then her body was like ten thousand ants gnawing on her body. Pained into her heart, Daiyu immediately turned pale and fell backwards.
