Emperor Rong's favorite jade in the Red Chamber

They got on the small pulleys made by Shui Rong and Zhao Li one after another, went up to Taniguchi one after another, got on the chariots and horses one by one, and headed for the palace.

After about an hour, the group finally arrived at the palace.I saw the princess and prince looking anxiously at the door.

Walking to the door, Shui Rong reined in the horse, got off the horse, walked up to the princess and the prince, and asked, "What happened? Are you in such a hurry to call younger sister Yu into the palace?"

The princess patted Shui Rong's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Rong'er, it's not a big deal. Today the emperor is happy, and he held a vegetarian banquet with the queen, and invited many royal relatives, because I remembered that day I hurriedly begged him The princess who issued the decree just wanted to see Yu'er. This is just a routine royal banquet, and I don't think it's a bad thing for Yu'er to meet these royals."

"Oh" Shui Rong nodded numbly, although Wang Hao said it so easily, but in Shui Rong's view, it was far from that simple.When he entered the palace that day, he felt that although the empress looked dignified and noble, there was always a stern look in her eyes, which made him feel very uncomfortable, and the emperor seemed a little too enthusiastic. His son showed an unusual liking, and he really didn't like this kind of liking.Moreover, the extremely deep things occasionally revealed in the emperor's eyes disturbed him even more.So that time, they only sat for a while before he excused his discomfort and left the palace.For this reason, the emperor seemed rather regretful.Thinking about this, Shui Rong said: "Since that's the case, why not let me accompany my father and mother into the palace together!"

Thinking of the possible intentions of the emperor's brother, the concubine couldn't help but feel tense in vain, but he knew of his water-soluble temperament, and if he was not allowed to follow, it would definitely be impossible, so she smiled and said: "That's fine, anyway, the emperor wants to see you too. Okay." Come on, the father-in-law who sent the message has been waiting for half a day, let's set off immediately!"

The horses and vehicles had already been prepared, and a group of people got into the vehicle and drove to the palace.

After more than half an hour, they arrived at the palace.The waiting father-in-law was waiting at the gate of the palace. Seeing the prince and concubine coming, he quickly stepped forward to salute and said, "Oh, I'm looking forward to you! The emperor and queen are waiting anxiously."

Seeing that it was Eunuch Du who was next to the emperor, the concubine smiled politely: "Eunuch Lao, it was Rong'er who took Yu'er for an outing early in the morning. When Eunuch Song came to deliver the message, it happened that they were not in the mansion."

Eunuch Du bowed slightly and said: "Princess, let's hurry up and join the prince, otherwise if I miss the lunch, I'm afraid I'll miss the dinner too!"

The prince and his party were led by Eunuch Du towards Chaohua Hall, the hall where the royal family entertained relatives and friends.

The princess was afraid that Daiyu would be afraid, so she held her hand tightly.Along the way, Daiyu saw towering buildings and prosperous layouts everywhere, and thought: This imperial palace is really extraordinary.This majestic and enviable palace in the eyes of others, but in Daiyu's eyes, it looks so cramped and oppressive, which makes her breathless.

After a while, a group of people walked into the door of Chaohua Hall.Only the prince, concubine, Shui Rong and Daiyu were allowed to enter the hall, the rest of the attendants had to wait outside the door.

When the four of them entered the hall, the prince knelt down first to salute, and the others followed suit. Everyone said in unison: "Long live the emperor, and a thousand years for the queen."

Daiyu only heard a very loud voice proclaiming above her head: "This is a royal family banquet, Shui Jing invites you!"

A thin voice said: "The emperor is very right, sister Duanfang, please get up quickly, let the children get up too!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Empress."

"Give me a seat!" The queen greeted enthusiastically.

The prince led the princess and others to sit down on the lower right side of the emperor.As soon as Daiyu sat down, she felt a pair of sharp eyes projected towards her. Judging from this angle, it must be the queen.There was a slight turmoil in my heart, but when I thought about it, why should I be afraid?She is the adopted daughter of the King of Beijing, and the princess appointed by the emperor. In the past, now, and in the future, she will never have anything to do with this queen.Banquets like this must be avoided in the future if possible.

Shui Rong looked around, and couldn't help but wonder, he clearly said that he was going to entertain several relatives of the emperor, why was there only four of them in the huge Chaohua hall?

The emperor laughed loudly for a while and said: "Shui Rong, you are such a busy person! I have sent someone to invite you for so long, and you are so late!"

Shui Rong hurriedly stood up, bowed slightly and said, "I don't dare, it's just a very unfortunate day today, I..."

"Okay, okay, stop talking, I know everything, I don't mean to blame you at all. Sit down quickly! Before Shui Rong could finish speaking, the emperor interrupted him with a smile.

The queen also smiled and said: "I wanted to invite your family of four to have a happy gathering with our imperial relatives at the luncheon, but it was just a coincidence. You can't come here if you delay for a while. The luncheon has been used, because my palace Thinking that the emperor would have to talk to Shui Rong if he wanted to have his own words, so he sent them all away."

The three words "Talking about yourself" made Shui Rong's heart sink, and it even made Wang Hao's heart beat a small drum.

No.60 A Fight in the Palace ([-])

The concubine suddenly smiled and said, "This pretty girl is probably Lin Daiyu, right? Come, come here and let me have a look."

Shui Rong was concentrating on what the emperor wanted to say to him, when he suddenly heard the queen call Daiyu.My heart froze in vain, my body stiffened involuntarily, and I stretched out my hand to hold Daiyu's sleeve tightly.

Daiyu naturally knew what Shui Rong was most worried about, but what was in front of her was the current emperor and empress, how could she allow them to disobey the slightest bit?Then she got up gracefully, walked to the empress's side meanderingly, bowed slightly, and was about to bow down, but was supported by a maid beside the empress.Then he helped her to the queen's side.

The queen took Daiyu's hand lightly, looked it up and down carefully, and then said with a smile all over her face: "Oh, my eyes are opened to such beautiful people in the world today! Your Majesty, take a quick look, can't you blame sister Duanfang for being so impatient to recognize her as a righteous daughter? She is also rushing at night to ask the emperor to give her the title of princess. I think she is not only worthy of being princess, Even being a princess is well-deserved! Alas, I like it very much in my heart!"

The concubine heard that the queen's voice was wrong, she hurriedly stood up and walked to the queen, bowed deeply and said: "The empress is a joke, after all, Yu'er is a girl from the Xiao family, how can she be a princess? Besides, didn't the emperor just issue the decree?" Make her the princess?"

The queen raised her eyes to look at the princess, and said with a deep smile on the corner of her lips, "Sister Duanfang, it scares you. I just praised her a few words, and I didn't mean to snatch your daughter."

The concubine smiled awkwardly and said: "The concubine knows that the queen has no intention of seizing people's love. I'm just afraid that Yu'er will enter the palace for the first time, and I don't know many etiquettes. I'm afraid I will offend the empress."

The queen curled her lips and said, "Sister, what are you talking about? Are you referring to the emperor as the emperor's brother? Why do you talk about the empress when you come to me? Doesn't it make me sad to see outsiders like this!"

"I... this..." The princess didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the queen's gourd, so she was at a loss for words.

The emperor smiled brightly and said: "Yes, sister Duanfang, what the queen said is very true. It is also rare for us to get together, so don't be so polite!"

The concubine could only lower her eyebrows and said: "Brother Huang, sister-in-law Huang is very true."

Daiyu remained silent the entire time, standing beside the concubine modestly and politely, cold sweat involuntarily broke out from her palms.

The emperor looked at Daiyu again and said: "What the empress said is very true, Miss Lin is indeed a beautiful woman, she is even worse than your mother who was the most beautiful woman in Jinling back then!"

Daiyu hurriedly bowed slightly and said: "The emperor has given you too much praise. Daiyu is just an ordinary little girl from the people. She is loved by the prince and the princess, and praised by the emperor. She was awarded the title of princess. Daiyu is very grateful in her heart." do."

The queen nodded and said: "Well, this child Daiyu is really wonderful. Not only is she outstanding in appearance, but also so gentle and elegant, even her voice is as beautiful as a yellow warbler!"

Daiyu lowered her head humbly and said: "Just now the emperor has praised her, but now my son and empress are even raising Daiyu, which really frightens Daiyu."

"Such a wonderful person, why did my mother exaggerate at all? I see, my mother's praise is still a bit short." Suddenly, a handsome young man in a silver satin embossed boa robe walked from behind the queen at some point. came in.He is the eldest son of the current empress—Gongjin Qingrui.On his fair face was a pair of long and narrow eyes, staring at Daiyu intently at this moment.

What Shui Rong was most worried about happened, he couldn't hold back any longer, he walked over with big strides, and pulled Daiyu behind him.He said in a rough voice: "If the emperor and queen have nothing important to do, I will take Yu'er back home. Yu'er is also recovering from a serious illness, and her body is still weak."

The prince has been aloof since he was a child, and no one has ever dared to be so rude in front of him.Immediately, anger surged up, and before he could speak, he was about to punch him.

"Presumptuous, Rui'er, what are you doing? Shui Rong is also your brother after all, how can you fight? When will you change your tyrannical temperament? If this continues, how will the foundation of the Daxuan Dynasty reassure me? Pass it to you?" The emperor loudly stopped Gongjin Qingrui.

The queen's eyes showed displeasure, she gave the emperor a sneaky look, walked quickly to Gongjin Qingrui and said, "Rui'er, you are too reckless. They are always our guests, how can you say that you
