Concubine Diana of the Red Chamber is hard to love

The swelling on the feet disappeared quickly. On this day, Daiyu went to the Longevity Palace to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager. It happened that the eldest princess Mu Xin was there, and sitting beside the Empress Dowager was Princess Yongchang Shuiyao, who was accompanying the Empress Dowager at this time joking.

Shuizhen only has two daughters, Yongchang has already left the court, Shuiyao didn't know what she said, which made the Queen Mother laugh happily.Mu Xin listened quietly, with a half-smile on her face. Daiyu had a good impression of Mu Xin. As the saying goes, people have good and evil faces. The peaceful temperament complements the coolness and indifference of Shui Mingchang.

As soon as Daiyu came in, the Queen Mother immediately ordered her to sit beside her with a smile.After seeing each other, Daiyu smiled and said: "The imperial grandmother is so happy today, I think Her Royal Highness said something interesting, I don't know if the granddaughter-in-law is so lucky, the imperial grandmother said it and let us listen and follow Lele , by the way, I will also enjoy the happiness of your old lady, the imperial grandmother!"

Now the empress dowager's attitude towards herself has changed drastically from before, but Daiyu also understands that most of it is just stained with water-soluble light.After being warned by Shui Rong that day, Daiyu has been staying in Beigong, but after all, Shui Rong didn't play any tricks, he didn't carry out his threats, and he really lived a few days of peace.

The Empress Dowager smiled wide-eyed, and even the longevity lines at the corners of her eyes were glowing with joy.This is an experienced woman in the harem, who has gone through too many storms and world affairs, is majestic and noble, but it is such an old man who loves Shui Rong very much, and only she has the ability to take care of this grandson.But even so, Shui Rong still pretended to be crazy in the palace for his own safety. Obviously, the queen mother could not resist the turmoil in the harem alone, and the queen mother must not be clear about many private plots.

Seeing the empress dowager's sincere smile, Daiyu smiled slightly. In fact, the empress dowager removed the halo from her head, just like ordinary old people who love their grandchildren.She couldn't help but think of Jia Mu again. In fact, she was in the Rong Mansion. Without her care, she would be in a very difficult situation. Therefore, even though her father didn't agree with the children and nephews in the Rong Mansion, he always treated this old man. It's an attitude of respect.

I married into the palace and seldom went back. I don't know what happened to Jiamu, but when I was thinking about it, I heard the Queen Mother laughing and said: "The imperial grandmother is thanks to Yu'er, I want to thank you very much!"

While speaking sincerely: "Yao'er and I are praising you. After taking the meal you prepared and doing some exercise, not to mention, that problem is almost completely cured!"

On the one hand, he stood up childishly and took two steps: "It doesn't matter if you sit or stand now, it doesn't matter at all!" Seeing that the Queen Mother is so childish, Bi Yun who supported her also smiled and said: "The Queen Mother is very happy now, this In a few days, the smiles on my face became more numerous, and even the wrinkles appeared!"

Shuiyao also raised her eyebrows and smiled, she hadn't seen anyone who could make the Queen Mother praise her, so this Princess Beijing made her look up to her with admiration.Seemingly soft and weak, she never expected to be able to win the favor of the imperial grandmother.

Shuiyao knows that the imperial grandmother prefers water melting, everyone knows the situation of water melting and doesn't care about it, but the queen mother was not satisfied with Princess Beijing at first, but now she is the jade who keeps her mouth shut, and can change the queen mother's attitude, Shuiyao then I think Daiyu is not easy.

She smiled slightly: "Yes, the emperor's grandmother is very pleased. The disease that has troubled her for a long time was cured by you all at once. Are you not happy? I don't know where you asked for the folk prescription. Let me write it down." Now, maybe it will be useful in the future!"

Daiyu smiled and said: "The health of the imperial grandmother is the blessing of our juniors. That is not due to the granddaughter-in-law, but the great blessing of the imperial grandmother!" In the past, I was ignorant, and I would not and would not bother to say those cute words, let alone please Elders, but now, she has no choice in order to survive.

Scanning Shui Rong's face inadvertently, seeing the smirk in his eyes, Daiyu seemed to have heard his disdain and contempt.

Seeing Daiyu not claiming credit, but being courteous and courteous, the Empress Dowager Yan Yan was even more delighted when she said, "It's your credit, Yu'er, don't give in, you must know that Grandmother, I have been troubled by this problem for a long time, and I have been drinking bitter juice for so long. The effect is not very good, but your diet works, and it will take effect after a few days of conditioning."

The mother on the side also jokingly said: "Princess, there is no need to be humble, the queen mother is telling the truth!"

Seeing this, Mu Xin also smiled softly: "The imperial grandmother was boasting just now. I didn't expect that Princess Beijing also knows medical skills. It's a pity that I don't understand, and I can't share the worries of the imperial grandmother!"

Shui Yao also interjected: "No, it's a pity that we only have hearts but no power, right Grandmother! They are not as lovable as Princess Beijing, no wonder Grandmother is partial!"

Daiyu lowered her head and smiled: "It's just a pretense. How can it be called understanding? It's just a coincidence. It turned out that an elder also had this problem, so I borrowed flowers to offer Buddha!" ​​Daiyu was talking about her father. Well, Lin Ruhai also had this disease, but it was not serious. At that time, it was the medicinal diet prepared by Yun Zhonghe, so Daiyu dared to prescribe the medicine to the Queen Mother.

After the queen mother took her seat, she said, "Yu'er, I miss your Kung Fu tea again. Shall I make it for the imperial grandmother again today?"

Daiyu hurriedly laughed and said, "Look at what the imperial grandmother said, this is the honor of granddaughter-in-law. How about granddaughter-in-law making it for your old man?" The queen mother nodded happily.

Shui Yao also showed a trace of curiosity: "I heard from the emperor's grandmother that I am also lucky today, and I will try the Kung Fu tea you cooked!"

Shui Rong also clapped his hands excitedly: "Okay, okay, I want it too, lady, hurry up!" Shui Rong suddenly tugged at Daiyu's sleeve, begging pitifully, like begging her parents for help. Children who want candy rewards are average.

The queen mother smiled kindly: "Rong'er, don't worry, let your wife come slowly, you can't rush the good tea, you know?" The tone was full of indulgence.

But Shui Rong pouted and said to the Queen Mother: "Grandmother, I'm thirsty, I can't wait!" Seeing Shui Rong's childish face, Shui Yao laughed teasingly, "Brother Rong, watch over your concubine, I can drink it every day, isn’t it enough?”

Being teased by Shuiyao, Daiyu blushed slightly, despising Shui Rong in her heart, but a gentle smile appeared on her face: "Of course, it will be fine in a while!" Then she said to the mother behind the queen mother: "Please trouble me!" Mammy, bring the tea set and the tea that the imperial grandmother likes!" Mammy hurried over.

Mu Xin also smiled and said, "I've always wanted to learn, but today is a coincidence, so I want to take a good look at it!" In fact, this kind of Kung Fu tea can't be learned overnight. Said, Daiyu is not easy to refute, she nodded with a smile.

After a while, the tea set and tea leaves were all ready, Daiyu checked it carefully, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong with it, she knelt on the carpet like last time, proceeded step by step according to the rules of Gongfu tea, and boiled it. Water, washing tea, washing tea sets, brewing tea, testing water temperature, every process is spotless, and the process strives for excellence.

Mu Xin sat quietly at the side, watching seriously.Seeing Shui Rong jumping around and refusing to sit down obediently, the Empress Dowager feared that he would make trouble again like last time, and hurriedly said: "Rong'er, don't make trouble, let Yu'er cook the tea, or I won't care if you burn your hands." !" Shui Rong had no choice but to sit obediently beside the Queen Mother, pretending to watch Daiyu cook tea seriously, but still couldn't sit still and moved a little bit.

But her gaze never left Daiyu. To be honest, this girl really has a way. Her movements and expressions of cooking tea are quite serious. Her elegance makes people feel happy, especially the faint expression on her face. He was in a hurry, focused physically and mentally, as if he was completing an extremely solemn event, that calmness and calmness made people's heart unconsciously calm down.

Quietly in the hall, the Empress Dowager looked at the elegant and dignified Daiyu with a smile, and was extremely satisfied with this grandson-in-law in her heart.

She smiled and looked at Shui Rong sitting next to her. Now she finally figured it out. If such a grandson with only a few years of mind was given a marriage, those ladies would not dare to disobey her will, but they would be able to do so like Daiyu. Sincerely for the water-soluble one, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find a second one.

This Yu'er has both love and patience for Rong'er, it seems that this daughter-in-law has chosen the right one.The Empress Dowager didn't know anything about the private situation of these two people, so she was relieved and optimistic, and she was blindly immersed in her own wishful thinking.

At this moment, he heard light footsteps outside, and an imposing nobleman walked in. It was the second prince with ink and white ink. Seeing the warm and quiet atmosphere at the scene, and Daiyu carefully cooking tea, he was stunned. Dazed and silent, she nodded to the Queen Mother and Shui Yao with a smile, and then quietly sat beside the Queen Mother, looking calmly at Daiyu who was making Kung Fu tea.

Everyone's attention was focused on Daiyu at the moment, and the ink and white eyes flashed a glance at Shui Rong with a smirk on his face, and then turned to the woman who was as clear as water under the seat, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, feeling regretful in her heart endlessly.

Unexpectedly, such a talented and beautiful woman would marry this fool. He had heard from Luo Xiyan that if it hadn't been for the Queen Mother's gift of marriage, Daiyu might have become the eldest concubine of Prince Shun's mansion. He agreed to Princess Shun's request, and planned to give Luo Xiao a marriage place, but unexpectedly, Shui Rong got in the way and pestered the Queen Mother to make an order to marry Lin Daiyu. The Queen Mother's precious grandson, she couldn't resist, so she made the order married.

To tell the truth, if this Lin Daiyu was assigned to Luo Xiao, she would be a man of beauty, no matter what, it would be better than marrying Shui Rong.Moreover, once Daiyu became a member of Prince Shun's Mansion, some things would go much smoother, and they would not be as difficult as they are now.

According to Prince Shun, that thing was not given to Lin Ruhai by the former emperor, but to Lu Fang. Lu Fang had an accident. I heard that there was a fire in his house and no one survived. This is probably the emperor's father ordered someone to do it in private. So, that's more proof that that thing exists.Therefore, it was for this purpose that Prince Shun wanted to seduce Daiyu, but it was a pity that Shui Rong got in the way.

Shui Mobai looked at the audience, his mind was full of thoughts, but there was a clear and shallow smile on his face all the time, and he didn't show the slightest bit on his face. He originally wanted to make Luo Xiyan and Daiyu become friends, or he could take the opportunity to get something out of her. There is something wrong, but Luo Xiyan, who is arrogant and arrogant, doesn't like Daiyu, and is quite resistant to Daiyu.

But it is man-made, as long as you are willing to use your brain, I believe there will be a way, although Shui Mobai thought so in his heart, there was no abnormality on his face, he watched Daiyu cooking tea calmly, showing great interest.

When the tea was ready, Daiyu gave it to the Empress Dowager with a slight smile, "Grandmother, you have a taste!" Then she gave it to Shuiyao: "Princess, how does it taste?" Then she gave it to Mu Xin: "Elder Prince Concubine, do you know if you have learned it?"

Mu Xin took it over, and smiled demurely: "It looks easy, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to do, and I will inevitably disturb you in the future!" Daiyu smiled sweetly: "In the future, we can learn from each other when we have time!"

Finally, with a smile on his face, he solemnly bowed to Shui Mobai: "Second prince, please have some tea!" Shui Mobai took it in his hand generously.

Daiyu lowered her head, the second prince always had a modest look, but Daiyu felt that this person was not as simple as he appeared on the surface, and for some reason, she felt that this person made people feel invisible .Coupled with his haughty wife, Daiyu has a slight resistance invisibly. It's better to have less contact with such a person!

In the end, Fang gave it to Shui Rong, not forgetting to remind him: "My lord, be careful of scalding!" The tone was gentle and caring, showing the demeanor of a good wife who cares about her husband, and the queen mother gave her admiring glances.

Shui Rong took it with a giggle, without exception, Daiyu also received contempt from Shui Rong...

Of course, Shui Rong didn't show it, but Daiyu felt it.On this point, the two had a tacit understanding, and she knew exactly what his reaction meant.Daiyu doesn't care about it, on such an occasion, I believe he can't do anything more exaggerated, as if on purpose, she opened a sunny smile towards Shui Rong, in Shui Rong's eyes, that bright smile clearly brought With a trace of provocation.

Secretly slandering her in his heart, Shui Rong had an innocent smile on his face, and drank it in one go, exaggerating in his mouth: "It's delicious, it's delicious, I want more, my lady!" As she spoke, she stretched out her hand, Daiyu still smiled, Gently poured him another glass.

Here, Shuiyao tasted it carefully for a long time, and said sincerely: "The taste is good, and the cooking method is also interesting. Someday I have free time, I will try to learn it!" Daiyu smiled.

Shui Mobai took a sip lightly, full of admiration, smiled for a moment and said to the Queen Mother: "Grandmother, this Kung Fu tea tastes different from the ordinary method of making it. Since the eldest sister-in-law and elder sister want to learn it, why don't you let Yan'er drink it too?" If we have time to learn from Princess Beijing together, then the emperor's grandmother can drink whoever she wants, wouldn't that be a good idea?"

The Empress Dowager nodded and said to Daiyu: "Mo'er's idea is good. It's also an elegant thing for you little sisters-in-law to get together and learn tea art!"

Daiyu had no choice but to say humbly: "Grandmother, I'm afraid that my granddaughter-in-law's skills are poor and I really can't do it. I am honored that my grandmother likes it, and my granddaughter-in-law is very honored. I don't dare to talk about professors, let's learn from each other!"

She declined tactfully, not because she didn't want to teach, but because Luo Xiyan was obviously hostile to her, and Daiyu didn't like her superior appearance very much.The queen mother raised her eyebrows: "Yu'er, you are too modest, I think it's very good. Didn't you just say that you should get closer in the future!" The two hurriedly agreed.

The queen mother turned to Shui Mobai: "Mo'er is here today, maybe there is something, you rarely have leisure except to ask for your peace!"

Shui Mobai smiled and said: "Nothing can be hidden from the eyes of the emperor's grandmother. The grandson is here for a serious business. The grandson was ordered by his father to ask for the instructions of the emperor's grandmother. In a month, he will be your old man." It's the [-]th birthday, and this sixty-year-old birthday is not ordinary. My father means to hold it for you as an old man. It must be more grand than in previous years to make it look good. I have already ordered my grandson to organize it together with several adults from the Ministry of Rites. , I wonder what the imperial grandmother wants this year?"

The Empress Dowager smiled slightly, and her face became more solemn: "What to do, just follow the old way every year. A lot of people are old, and there is no life, as long as our Shui family's country is stable, it is better than anything else. Tell Your father, don't be too deliberate, there is no need to spend so much property on what to do. Keep everything simple!"

Shui Mobai hurriedly agreed, and chatted and laughed with the queen mother for a while, then Shui Mobai struck up a conversation and withdrew.Seeing that the queen mother looked tired for a while, Daiyu and others also left, just as Shuiyao wanted to visit the queen's place, so the three of them withdrew together.

After leaving the Longevity Palace, Daiyu heaved a sigh of relief, she has been here for a long time today, and she is also a little tired.Thinking of Shui Mobai's words just now, Xiang Mu Xin and Shui Yao smiled: "Elder sister-in-law, princess, the grandma's birthday, as a junior, what birthday gift should she give every year that she likes?"

Mu Xin knew that Daiyu was intelligent, and the queen mother liked her grandson and daughter-in-law very much now.Listening to her question, she smiled and looked at Shuiyao. Shuiyao knew the Queen Mother's preferences very well. Seeing Daiyu's question, she knew that she wanted to please the Queen Mother. It is clear.

This year, Shui Rong has a concubine, and Daiyu should worry about these things, so she thought for a while and said: "The gifts you give every year are not limited. The emperor's grandmother is not keen on eating, drinking and having fun in her whole life. What she pays most attention to is the Shui family. The performance will last forever, and I hope that the descendants of the Shui family will be able to do better. Speaking of which, she doesn’t like too many things. First, the emperor’s grandmother believes in Buddhism. Every year, we will send some gifts related to Buddhism. Besides, she likes Jiangnan's embroidery is generally unattractive, unless it is particularly delicate. The rest is optional, gold, silver and jade, cultural relics and antiques, her old man is not too rare. In fact, as long as you have the heart, you can give it to your grandmother! " After listening to Shuiyao's words, Daiyu was thoughtful.

Just as she was thinking about it, Mu Xin smiled softly: "Princess Bei Jing, come to my place when you have time, we two sisters talk, I think we still have a temper with you." Hearing Mu Xin's invitation, Dai Yu hurriedly agreed , parted ways with Mu Xin Shuiyao for a while.

Looking at the distant sky, white clouds are floating leisurely in the sky. What do you want to give for the Queen Mother's birthday?She was still thinking about it all the way in the sedan chair, and when she returned to Beigong, the sedan chair stopped, and Shui Rong got off the sedan chair and wanted to run away.

Daiyu stopped him, and was about to speak, Shui Rong opened her mouth first, and said in a strange way: "Why, is this worth the concubine's brains?"

Daiyu turned her head and looked at those mocking black pupils. It seemed that he knew what she wanted to ask, so she didn't care about it and smiled lightly: "My lord, what gift do you give for the emperor's grandmother's birthday every year?"

Shui Rong curled her lips: "It's Cuiqiao who takes care of it, I don't know about your husband, you can ask her!" She answered bluntly, pushing herself away.

Daiyu thinks about it too, in the eyes of outsiders, what a fool can give as a gift, he will not pay attention to these things.What's more, the queen mother will not care about it, as long as her grandson is happy, it is more important than any gift.But it's different now, Shui Rong is married, her precious grandson has a daughter-in-law, and her stupid grandson doesn't care about anything. As a grandson's wife, she is a normal person, so she can't go empty-handed, right?

Thinking of this, she asked Shui Rong: "Then what would you like to give this year?" The queen mother's birthday gift must always be agreed by Shui Rong. It is still necessary to seek his opinion if he is arbitrary, after all, that is his own grandmother.

Unexpectedly, Shui Rong grabbed the leaves of the flower tree next to him, and said casually: "You can figure it out!" It seemed that he was not very enthusiastic about this matter, and after he finished speaking, he still had that trademark smile on his face, turned around and jumped He walked towards the flowers not far away, and threw the question to Daiyu.

The white robe fluttered in the wind, and quickly disappeared from sight. Daiyu was a little depressed, and also a little funny. Sometimes Shui Rong is really naive, and he doesn't cooperate with such a trivial matter.You know, the Queen Mother is his real grandmother.Do you have to play tricks with yourself on whether the idea does not jump up and down?

Back in the room, after thinking for a while, she ordered Zijuan to call Cuiqiao, she wanted to ask what gift Cuiqiao prepared every year, so that she knew exactly what, fortunately, it was still a long time, one month should be enough.

When Cuiqiao saw Daiyu asking about this matter, her eyes flickered and she said: "Every year, the maid will prepare some jade and antiques for the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother likes it too. This year, the Princess should be heavier!"

Daiyu nodded, in fact, as long as it was given under the guise of being water-soluble, she would be happy to give it to any queen mother.But this year is different, seeing Daiyu groaning silently, Cuiqiao's eyes flashed, and she smiled faintly: "Wangfei might as well go to the storeroom to have a look, there are quite a few gifts kept there, Wangfei can choose whatever she wants!"

Daiyu felt Cuiqiao's perfunctory and invisible refusal, but she didn't have time to argue with her. It was too late for her to deal with Shui Rong all day long. How could she have the energy to take care of others? As long as Shui Rong can make herself calm, for her It is a kind of luck.

Cuiqiao obviously didn't want to help her, and Daiyu didn't want to count on her, so she smiled slightly: "Okay, you go down first!"

Cuiqiao shrugged slightly and backed out.The moment he withdrew, he raised his mouth slightly.Every year, I take care of all the affairs of the North Palace by myself. Although the prince married the concubine, the queen mother still entrusts himself with all the affairs. This concubine is just a decoration.

The queen mother meant that as long as she could take good care of the prince, it would be enough.She was sent by the Empress Dowager, she knew better than Daiyu what the Empress Dowager liked, but Cuiqiao curled her lips, she didn't want to tell her.
