Qing Wu Red House

However, on the second day, there was a grand marriage proposal in the herb garden, and it was spread all over the capital. I don't know who spread the word, saying that the champion Hou's sister is a country and a city, and she is a peerless beauty.Some people echoed that the champion Hou's sister is good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.After these remarks, the grand occasion in front of the herb garden was unprecedented, causing Lin Haorui to spend his time after going to court every day to deal with these and beg for relatives.

This situation lasted for three days. On the morning of the fifth day, Lin Haorui ordered Ding Daqiang to post a statement and a test question at the gate of the herb garden.It probably means to thank everyone for their preference for my younger sister, but marriage matters must not be sloppy at all, so all relatives who come to mention relatives have to go through his assessment.Finally, after his statement, he wrote a little poem.The statement did not state that the poem was a test question, because many people did not give up on asking Ding Daqiang, so Ding Daqiang reluctantly said that if he wanted to marry their girl, he had to pass three tests, and this poem was the first test.

Everyone became nervous, and asked Ding Daqiang what the next two levels were?Ding Daqing was a little hesitant, and only said that the second pass might be an essay writing test, and the third pass might be a martial arts test, but he said he was hesitant, not sure at all.But many people have suddenly realized that Lin Haorui's way of writing the questions still requires a person with both civil and military skills to come out.

Seeing Lin Haorui clearly stated the conditions, many people were eager to try it, but many people were very confused about what the first hurdle meant.

After Daiyu Nanshan Bieyuan heard what Nanny Song said, she asked with some doubts: "What poem did my brother write?" Nanny Song smiled and said: "The uncle said that he didn't write it, but just heard about it. Who said it specifically?" , the old slave doesn’t know. The poem seems to be incomplete. It’s like this: I once thought that being passionate would damage the holy life, and I’m afraid that I won’t fall into the city when I go to the mountains. Poetry. There are no propositions or topics explained, so those people are all at a loss."

Daiyu smiled softly: "This poem was said by Sister Teng. I still remember that it was Brother Tianyou who told the story of Zen Master Huijing. I thought about it, but I remembered it now.”

Wang Xifeng also sighed back, but immediately said: "What is your brother trying to explain by writing this, I can't see that this poem has anything to do with your marriage." Daiyu blushed slightly, and said softly: " My brother probably wanted to ask a question, but he felt that it might affect my reputation. That's why I said so."

"What?" Wang Xifeng asked curiously, and Nanny Song also became curious.Daiyu shook her head slightly, her face blushing.But he refused to say anything.Wang Xifeng and Nanny Song laughed secretly, but they didn't force it.

Sure enough, Lin Haorui's little poem caused an uproar in the capital. No one could guess what he meant, and some even offered a huge reward.But for a while, I couldn't find the answer.

In such a chaotic situation, Emperor Hong Zhen dropped another blockbuster, causing all the courtiers to turn their attention from the affairs of the Lin family back to the court.

On the last day of August in the ninth year of Hong Zhen, Emperor Hong Zhen lamented that he was exhausted recently, and wanted to find a safe person to help him.As soon as this wish is spoken out.The entire court hall exploded, but Emperor Hong Zhen left the court extremely calmly.The remaining group of ministers stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes. The emperor just wanted to talk about Li Chu.Why did you leave without saying anything.

The eldest prince Qi Tianwei was in a state of bewilderment. Since ancient times, the establishment of a crown prince has followed the few rules, that is, to set up the head, set up the son, and set up the virtuous.And he has almost everything, needless to say the elder and the first wife, but Xianhe thinks he has it too.After all, my younger brother just pulled out a murder case, and my father was right about it.And Qi Tianyou... the eldest prince couldn't help but sneered.How could he have the nerve to call his step-son a son?

And the ministers around Qi Tianwei were also eager to move, thinking that they would have to win more support in a short period of time, so that when the emperor asked for his opinion, he would be able to make a big splash.

Lin Haorui didn't care much about the chattering discussions in the court, but he admired the emperor's strange move, but he wasn't worried at all. According to his thinking, if the emperor appointed someone other than God Bless, it would be hell.

But who knows, just after the news of the emperor's intention to establish a crown prince came out, it was reported in the palace that His Royal Highness the third prince had offended the emperor and was banned from Changyang Palace and not allowed to go out.Lin Haorui wanted to talk to Tianyou this time, but because he couldn't see anyone, he couldn't help but wonder what kind of trouble this father and son was.And those who supported the First Prince and the Second Prince became more excited, forming gangs, wandering around and persuading them to make a fuss.

At this time, in Prince Yizhong's mansion, a young man was discussing matters with Prince Yizhong, and it was Sun Xuebin who escaped from Fahua Temple.Sun Xuebin looked at Prince Yizhong with some compliments: "In my lord's opinion, what is the meaning of the emperor's move?" Prince Yizhong took a sip of tea leisurely: "It's so clear, one can smoothly push my son to the front , Second, it can also attack dissidents. At this time, it is estimated that the ranking of officials in the old seven royal case has been re-arranged. He has always been thoughtful, and became suspicious after becoming the emperor. But he still has ability, otherwise he would not For so many years."

Sun Xuebin smiled and said: "In my opinion, it is absolutely inferior to the prince." He seemed to think of something again, and said: "I don't know what the second master is going to do about Miss Lin's marriage?" Prince Yizhong sighed: "Hey, he is messing around just because of a woman. Since he decided to do it, you can help more."

"With Erye's knowledge, no matter what questions Lin Haorui asks, I'm afraid it will be difficult." Sun Xuebin said with a smile: "Second Master is so motivating and mobilizing everyone to ask the matchmaker to marry that Miss Lin. I think it is very affectionate. But I think, the three His Royal Highness is bound to participate."

Prince Yizhong didn't care much about this matter, and said: "That's good, once you meet, you can find out about the child. Since he wants to use this method to propose marriage, even if the third prince wins him, he I have nothing to say. It’s a good thing to give up on this.” Prince Yizhong waved his hand: “Don’t talk about such a bad thing, I heard that the girl from the Xue family is also a character, you can’t find the porcelain bottle. Prepare How to deal with her?"

Sun Xuebin's eyes lit up, and he looked at Prince Yizhong: "That girl looks good, but she has more eyes. If the prince likes it, I will find a way to get her into the palace?" Prince Yizhong said with a smile: "You are a Clever, bring it in and let me have a look."

Sun Xuebin smiled and stepped back, thinking of Baochai's beautiful face like a flower, he couldn't help sighing.

The news of the establishment of the crown prince in the court greatly diluted the excitement of the Lin family, but Lin Haorui was surrounded by another wave of people, those who wanted the emperor to set up Tianyou as the crown prince.They didn't dare to go to Yang Dadu's mansion to inquire about the news, so they all focused their attention on Lin Haorui, who had an inseparable relationship with the third prince.

Although Lin Haorui clarified in every possible way that he did not know the first-hand information, these ministers did not believe it at all.He was tossed and battered.In addition to preparing for his own marriage, he also had to deal with the people who came to propose marriage to Daiyu or send the answer every day. Even the time to visit Daiyu in Nanshan Bieyuan was much less.

Daiyu lived quietly in Nanshan Bieyuan, her mood was not affected by the noise outside, and she didn't accompany her elder sister to study every day.Even if you go for a walk around, you can live a leisurely life.

In the early morning of this day, Daiyu just accompanied her eldest sister to read a Three Character Classic and wrote a few big characters.Just as she was about to help Wang Xifeng copy the account books, she saw Wang Xifeng hurried over with a few eunuchs.

Daiyu looked at Wang Xifeng with some doubts, and Wang Xifeng smiled awkwardly: "This is Eunuch Du in the palace. He said that he was ordered by the empress to take his younger sister into the palace!" Daiyu was slightly taken aback, and looked at Eunuch Du in confusion .

Eunuch Du smiled and said: "Miss Lin, don't worry, the empress just wants to take the girl into the palace for a sit-down. It's just that the old slave was delayed when she came out. I'm afraid I can't wait for the girl to report to the champion. The girl will go with the old slave!" With that said, Eunuch Du also took out the token from the palace and the queen's token and showed it to Wang Xifeng.Wang Xifeng nodded to Daiyu, and Daiyu said: "Then please wait a while, father-in-law, I'll come after changing clothes!"

Eunuch Du glanced at Daiyu's clothes.I thought that would be fine.But seeing that Daiyu was only wearing half-worn household robes, she gave up.Daiyu returned to the room with Zijuan, Xueyan and Peiwen.Zijuan turned around anxiously: "Young lady, you can guess why the empress wants to see you. You are still in such a hurry that you don't even have time to report back to the uncle."

Daiyu shook her head: "I can't think of it, maybe it's too far to go back to Beijing." Peiwen and Xueyan were rummaging through the box to find clothes, either this one was too simple, or that one was too fancy.This time Daiyu hastily visited Nanshan Bieyuan, she only brought comfortable and simple clothes, not the big clothes for formal occasions.Looking left and right, Pei Wen felt that entering the palace was too thin, so he wanted to go out and discuss with that Eunuch Du, asking her to go back to the herb garden to pick up a piece of clothing.

Xueyan grabbed her and said, "It's impossible for him to let you go, otherwise he wouldn't stop us from reporting to the uncle." Seeing the flustered looks of the two girls, Daiyu chuckled, "Just that blue one is fine." , not too complicated."

Pei Wen put on the blue smoke embroidered plum dress for Daiyu, still dissatisfied and said: "This dress is elegant enough, but it is not too solemn." Xue Yan went forward to find some gold inlaid jade The headdress said: "This is easy to handle. Bring more jewelry. Miss, how about this?" Daiyu laughed: "Look at you, you are usually calmer, why are you so flustered now? It’s not that I haven’t seen it before, it’s just a different place this time, it’s no big deal.”

As she said that, she took out two emerald green hairpins from the jewelry box, plugged them obliquely, and wore earrings on her ears that matched the color of her clothes, and her hands were still wearing jade bracelets.Although Xueyan thought it was still a bit quieter, but it seemed to bring out the beauty of the girl, so she didn't stop her.

When Daiyu came out of the room, Eunuch Du couldn't help but see that the girl was dressed like this, she was really demure and flawless.No wonder now the entire capital is talking about this girl's stunning beauty.

Although Eunuch Du did not allow Daiyu to go back and meet Lin Haorui, his tone was still respectful: "Miss Lin, please get in the car, we still have a long way to go, don't let the empress wait too long!" Daiyu nodded, and then supported Zicuckoo got into the car.

Eunuch Du smiled: "This girl can only go to Xihuamen with the girl, and cannot enter the palace together. I hope Miss Lin will be considerate then!" Daiyu answered in the carriage, and the carriage started to move.

From Nanshan Bieyuan to the Imperial Palace, the carriage took about two hours to arrive at Xihua Gate.Good Zicuckoo is known as a forerunner, so I gave Daiyu some snacks in the car first, otherwise I will be hungry right now.

When they arrived at Xihuamen.It's early in the morning.The Xihua Gate was quiet, and not many people moved around.Daiyu couldn't help but doubt that Eunuch Du intended to let her enter the palace at this time.As soon as the carriage stopped, Eunuch Du's voice sounded: "Miss Lin, please get out of the carriage, you can't take the carriage further inside, please forgive me!" Daiyu then got out of the carriage and left Zijuan to Xihua Go inside the door.

Zijuan stood outside the Xihua Gate, watching Daiyu disappear, and couldn't help feeling a little flustered.Every time a girl leaves her alone, there will always be some minor accidents. I hope everything will go well this time.

Daiyu followed Eunuch Du along Yong Lane outside Xihua Gate to the palace.After walking for about a quarter of an hour, they entered a moon gate.At the door, there were four court ladies dressed up to welcome them: "Eunuch Du is back, we have been waiting here for a long time." Then he looked at Daiyu: "Is this Miss Lin? She really is a beautiful woman. An alluring beauty. It’s really worth seeing once.”

Eunuch Du smiled, turned his head and said to Daiyu: "Miss Lin, this is Aunt Chen Xue, the maid in charge of the emperor's side. Miss, let her go. The old slave has retired."

Chen Xue seemed to be in her thirties.Judging by the clothes, the grade in the palace should not be low.She still seemed to be admiring Daiyu, and Daiyu didn't dodge but just stood there, waiting for Chen Xue to come back to her senses.After a long while, Chen Xue said: "I really saw the world for a while, but I was dumbfounded. Miss, come with me, the emperor is already waiting in the Hall of Zhaoren."

Daiyu was a little surprised, but she remembered that Eunuch Du kept saying that the Empress wanted to see her.Why did he become the emperor again now?But at this moment Daiyu knew that she couldn't ask anything, in this deep inner courtyard, she could only follow one standard.Say less and make less mistakes, don't say it's good.Who knows why the emperor wanted to see her.

Daiyu followed Chen Xue and continued to walk towards the inner palace, passing through one long alley after another, and walked for less than an hour.Chen Xue walked slowly, but she wasn't slow either.Daiyu kept her breathing steady.Keep going at a constant speed.Sometimes Chen Xue would be a little more sudden, and sometimes she would be a little slower.But Daiyu was very calm.He didn't speed up or slow down with Chen Xue's rhythm.

After Chen Xue tossed about twice, she returned to her normal speed.Daiyu's heart moved, she thought: I'm afraid this is to test her.Hao Daiyu's body is no longer as good as before, and she often wakes up with Nanny Song to walk and exercise in the morning, otherwise she will be exhausted and out of breath, how can she be so leisurely.

After walking through countless Yong Lanes, Chen Xue brought Daiyu to a garden where the flowers bloomed just right, and there were all kinds of strange varieties.Chen Xue said with a smile: "This is among the empresses, I have always loved it very much."

Daiyu smiled lightly, looked at the double-leaf peonies in the garden, and looked at the layout of the garden, which was very similar to the queen's masterpiece, and said softly: "The queen really has a heart, these flowers and plants grow very well."

Chen Xue smiled lightly, and led Daiyu through some large and small palaces.She found that Daiyu walked by in shock, neither looked around in surprise, nor was she nervous and looked at nothing, everything was so natural that people couldn't help secretly admiring it.

Finally, when Daiyu felt that she was going to have no strength, Chen Xue brought her to a majestic palace.Chen Xue said to Daiyu: "Your Majesty is waiting for the girl inside, let the girl go in!"

Daiyu glanced at Chen Xue, and bowed lightly: "Thank you, Aunt Chen."

Chen Xue seemed to be very satisfied with Daiyu's performance, and said softly: "Don't worry, it's not a bad thing!" Daiyu responded with a smile, then took a deep breath, tidied up her clothes, and slowly walked up the steps to Zhaoren The gate of the hall.

The little eunuch standing on the side glanced at Daiyu and said with a smile, "Miss, I will report to the emperor later!" Then he trotted into the hall.Daiyu noticed that the little eunuch's footsteps were very light, and he hardly made a sound.The little eunuch came out quickly: "Miss Lin, please come in."

Although Daiyu has been acting very calm, her palms are actually full of sweat. She squeezed her own hand, and then deliberately took a light step and entered Zhaoren Hall.Zhaoren Hall is actually not very big, but it looks extremely majestic.The marble floor was so polished that there was not a speck of dust.

As soon as she entered the hall, she heard a father-in-law's voice saying: "Your Majesty, Miss Lin is here!" Daiyu stepped up slightly, walked to the center of the hall, knelt down, and spoke slowly and clearly: "Little girl Lin Daiyu, Greetings to the emperor, long live the emperor!" After finishing speaking, he kowtowed.

Only heard a majestic voice, it was Emperor Hongzhen: "Are you sister Haorui?" Daiyu replied: "Respond to the emperor's words, the young girl is right." Emperor Hongzhen said: "Raise your head and let me see !"

Daiyu took a deep breath, then slowly raised her head and looked at Emperor Hongzhen.Although she had seen the emperor from a distance before, it was the first time for her to be so close.In fact, Emperor Hongzhen looks very similar to Tianyou, but he is more majestic than Tianyou.

Emperor Hongzhen hummed: "It's not bad, do you know why I invited you to see him?" Daiyu knew clearly at this time that Emperor Hongzhen met him at this time, most of it was for her and Tianyou's affairs, but this time But she couldn't say a word, she just replied quietly: "Report to the emperor, my little girl doesn't know!"
