The Love of the Red Chamber

The author at the beginning has something to say: Well, everyone, don’t worry about why the abolished prince was in the 44th year of Kangxi. Feng said before that this historical complex is half empty.So many things will no longer happen at the original time, some things will not happen, and of course there will be many things that did not happen before.In short: don't be true to history~~~~

In the summer of the 44th year of Kangxi, Emperor Kangxi moved to Chengde to escape the summer heat.Among the prince's elder brothers, the fourth son Yinzhen and the fifth son Yinqi stayed to supervise the country. The seventh son Yinyou was unwell, and all the eighteen elder brothers accompanied him.

In the study of Sibeile Mansion, Yinzhen looked worriedly at Daiyu who was sitting in front of him and said, "This time, fourth brother can't go, you should be more careful, if you need anything, you can find your thirteenth brother. Do you understand?" Daiyu With a slight smile, he said, "Fourth brother, you don't have to worry about Dai'er. Fourth brother should take good care of himself." Yinzhen nodded, but his frown remained unchanged.Huang Ama took away all the elder brothers at once, leaving only him and the fifth younger brother. The fifth younger brother is usually not interested in meddling, so all these things fell on him.If you don't do it well, it's incompetent. If you do it well...if someone with a heart says something beside Huang Ama...

Daiyu smiled slightly, pulled Yinzhen's sleeves and said, "Fourth Brother, you must trust Uncle Huang."

Yinzhen nodded and said with a faint smile: "Fourth brother knows it well, these are not things you should think about. We are leaving tomorrow, so don't worry about it."

"Ah."

The Chengde Palace was built in the 37th year of Kangxi. After eight years, although it is not so magnificent, it is full of royal style.Kangxi and his entourage lived in the apse of the main palace with their accompanying concubines De, Yi, concubines and concubines.Daiyu and Ke'er have been with Kangxi all the time, and they were also arranged to live in a small courtyard next to Hebi.The other princes and the accompanying ministers lived in some nearby gardens.

As soon as they arrived at the residence, Shuyue Ziyin and others hurriedly took care of Daiyu and Ke'er to rest, and then began to pack their luggage. The little eunuch in front of Kangxi came to deliver an order, "The emperor invites Princess Dunke and Heshuo Gege to go together After dinner, the two had no choice but to get up and tidy up their appearances, then hurried to the place where Kangxi lived, fortunately it was not too far away.

Kangxi lived in "Yanbo Zhishuang Zhai" at this time, there were already several people there.Kangxi looked very happy when he saw Daiyu and Ke'er, and waved to Daiyu with a smile: "Come here, two girls." After inviting Ann, he sat down at the position pointed by Kangxi.

Concubine Yi squinted her phoenix eyes to look at Daiyu, covered her lips and smiled and said: "The emperor really loves He Shuogege, so many princesses didn't bring her along, but only brought her and Princess Dunke here." In fact, most of the concubines They all couldn't understand Kangxi's love for Daiyu. In terms of status, he was just a first-rank official. Although he was not young, so many officials of the first rank in the court had never seen such honor and favor.Therefore, these people looked at Daiyu with more or less hostility.Kangxi saw it but didn't move his expression. He greeted Daiyu and Ke'er to sit beside him and had a meal, then drove everyone else out, leaving only Daiyu alone.

Daiyu followed Kangxi into the study, and naturally she would not speak first if Kangxi did not speak.Jin sat and watched Kangxi critique papers.After Kangxi had finished approving the stack of papers in front of him, he looked up and saw Daiyu still sitting there looking at him, without any sign of anxiety in her eyes.Kangxi couldn't help laughing and said: "I really like you, a little girl, you are so young but more calm than ordinary adults." Daiyu laughed and said: "Uncle Huang thinks highly of Yu'er. Yu'er is not in a hurry because she has nothing to worry about, so it's fine to sit here and watch the papers with Uncle Huang for a while." Kangxi naturally didn't believe her words, so he smiled and didn't say anything, but said: "My son, Lin Ruhai I sent a letter."

Daiyu pursed her mouth pretending to be angry, turned her head, and complained: "Daddy has time to write a letter to Uncle Huang, but he doesn't want to write a letter to his daughter. Abandoned." Kangxi stared at her funny and said: "Stop pretending to me, Lin Ruhai has told me that I send you a lot of things every month." Daiyu shook her head and said: "But that pile of things There is no one sentence to ask Yu'er if she is good or not, and she will tell her to learn this and that. Life is so hard..." Kangxi sighed helplessly, and said: "It is true that you should learn these things at such a young age. Thank you for your hard work. Xiao Yu'er, don't you want to know what your father wrote to me?"

"Uncle Huang please show me." Xiao Daiyu looked at Kangxi's mysterious old face with a shallow smile.

Kangxi glared at her a little discouraged and said, "Your father told you to go back and live with him for two years."

Daiyu was taken aback for a moment, and then she was pleasantly surprised.She has been away from her father for a long time, and she misses her parents so much.Kangxi knew what she was thinking when he saw her expression, he smiled kindly and said: "Okay, you can go back to Jiangnan directly after staying with me in Chengde for a while." Tell the fourth brother, is this okay?Will the fourth brother be angry?Will you be sad?Kangxi looked at her teasingly, "What? Can't bear to bear the fourth child? Otherwise, don't go back. In a few years, your parents will come to Beijing to see you after their work is over." Daiyu gave him a hard look, but it was a pity that The beautiful little face didn't seem to have any lethality at all, "No! Yu'er misses her parents, and Yu'er wants to go back to Jiangnan."

Kangxi stroked his beard, nodded with a smile and said: "Well... If you really refuse to go back to Jiangnan because of the fourth child, Lin Ruhai and I will cry to death. But if this is the case... the fourth child will be sad " Daiyu glared at Kangxi vigorously, the emperor's uncle is really cruel!

The days in Chengde were rare and leisurely, Daiyu didn't have the rather heavy homework to do every day, but occasionally Kangxi would pull her into the study to guide her, most of the time she was playing with Ke'er in the palace .Although the Chengde Palace is not as magnificent as the Imperial Palace, its area is not small, and there are many places to play. The two girls are also leisurely and contented inside.

"Eh? Prince?" Ke'er saw the prince walking towards him in bright yellow clothes, and pulled La Daiyu nervously.Daiyu didn't expect to meet the prince here, but the prince had already approached and couldn't avoid it directly, so she had to go forward with Ke'er and salute, "I have seen the prince." The prince looked at Daiyu, but at this time it was not like usual Such an arrogant expression, but with a little gloom on his handsome and noble face, it makes people feel a little uncomfortable.Daiyu's scalp was numb by him, and she felt a little displeased, so she said: "Let's not bother His Highness the Crown Prince, so I will leave now." The Crown Prince said: "Don't bother. Gege Yu, I want to ask Gege about something." Daiyu frowned, and said lightly: "I don't dare to ask for advice. I don't know what the Crown Prince can do for Daiyu?"

The prince glanced at Ke'er, Ke'er hesitated for a moment, bit his lip and retreated a dozen steps away.Can't hear them talking but can see them clearly.She looked at Daiyu and Yinreng worriedly.Prince Yinreng forced a smile and said, "Don't be nervous, Yugege, I just ask one thing." Daiyu nodded and said, "That's what the prince asked, but Daiyu's answer is up to Daiyu." Unexpectedly , the prince was not angry, just nodded and said: "Excuse me...does Ge Ge know where Qiguan is?" Daiyu looked up at Yinfeng in surprise, and saw a flash of worry in his eyes.Startled for a moment, Daiyu smiled and said, "Did the prince ask the wrong person? Why would he think of asking Daiyu about this. Daiyu doesn't know who the official Qi... is."

The prince turned his back, looked at the lake not far away and said indifferently: "I have been the prince for 30 years, and I still know some news. It's okay if Gege doesn't want to tell me. Excuse me, is he still okay? When he said this, Daiyu knew that the crown prince knew that Kangxi would entrust this matter to him and Yinzhen to handle it.Looking at the prince's back, Daiyu couldn't help but said, "The prince shouldn't be asking about Qiguan." The prince lowered his head and smiled bitterly: "I... I am just a little worried about him. It’s my palace that has implicated him.” No one has ever seen such a prince, and although Daiyu still doesn’t understand the word love, she also vaguely understands in her heart that this prince Yinreng really sees Jiang Yuhan in his heart. very heavy.Unfortunately, no matter what, he couldn't reveal Jiang Yuhan's identity.But he was also a little puzzled, for a violent person like the prince, he heard that he often whipped the eunuchs and maids around him, and not a few of them died, but how could he never forget one person.

"Just ask Gege to tell me, is he still alive?" Yinreng turned and looked at Daiyu.Daiyu nodded slightly.Yinfeng smiled lightly and said, "Thank you Gege." The expression on his face was never calm before.Nodding towards Daiyu, Yinreng turned and left.

"Brother Thirteen!"

Daiyu stared at the place where the prince's back disappeared. It was too difficult for her to think about the word love.He turned around when he heard Ke'er's cry.Seeing Yinxiang turning around from the corridor, Yinxiang was a little surprised to see them, and said: "Why are you here?" Daiyu smiled and said: "Uncle Huang said let us play around, and we have come here today " Yinxiang looked around, and said to the two in a deep voice: "Go back to your residence quickly, don't come here." Yinxiang was a little surprised when he saw them, and said, "Why are you here?" Daiyu He smiled and said: "Uncle Huang said let us play around, and we've come here today." Yinxiang looked around, and said to the two in a deep voice: "Hurry up and go back to your own residence, don't come here for a stroll .”

Ke'er has been in the palace for a long time, so she understands that there are some things she shouldn't know, so don't ask, so she nodded obediently.Daiyu is not so easy to dismiss, blinking, Daiyu looked at Yinxiang puzzled and said: "Why?" Yinxiang was a little embarrassed, said: "There is no reason, in short, you just don't come here. "Daiyu's eyeballs rolled and shone brightly. Yinxiang suddenly felt cold behind him, and saw Daiyu looking at him with a charming smile, "Brother Thirteen, it's better for you to tell Yu'er. Otherwise What if Yu'er came here out of curiosity and bumped into something bad?" Yinxiang could only touch his nose and smile bitterly, you all know that something bad might happen, so why not come?

"Okay. Over there, it's where the prince lives. Something's not right recently."

Ke'er's face immediately changed when he heard that, and he looked at Yinxiang nervously and said: "Brother Thirteen, why didn't you tell Huang Ama? What if something happens?" Where the prince lives, if something happens, No matter what, no one can escape.Knowing that Ke'er was thinking wrong, Yin Xiang didn't correct her, but just patted her on the shoulder to comfort her: "It's nothing. It's just that Thirteenth Brother is a little worried. Well, you guys go back quickly, Thirteenth Brother There are still things to do." Daiyu knew that Yinxiang still had something to tell them, so looking at Ke'er beside her, Daiyu raised her head and said to Yinxiang: "Brother Thirteen, no matter what happens, self-protection comes first. If something happens to you, Fourth Brother and Yu'er will be sad."

Yin Xiang was taken aback, looked at Daiyu with a different gaze, nodded after a long time and said: "Brother Thirteen knows. Xiao Yu'er has grown up."

After bidding farewell to Yinxiang, Daiyu looked at the place where Yinxiang left—the place where the prince Yinxiang pointed out just now lived, and felt a faint feeling of uneasiness spreading in her heart.Daiyu hurriedly said to Ke'er: "Sister Ke'er, let's listen to Brother Shisan and go back quickly." Ke'er nodded, and the two girls walked quickly to their place hand in hand.

The uneasiness in Daiyu's heart when she returned to her residence could not go away.Ke'er was a little tired after playing all day, so he went in to rest, but Daiyu sat in the flower hall in a daze.Shu Yue came over with tea and put it on the table in front of her, and asked carefully: "What's wrong with Princess? She seems very upset." After thinking about it, Daiyu was still worried, but she also knew about the internal affairs of the royal family. I can't tolerate myself intervening, I just want to intervene, I'm afraid I don't have the ability now.Turning sideways to Ziluo who was practicing her sword in the open space outside the window, she said: "Ziluo, order me to go down and pay attention to what's going on with Brother Thirteen. If there is something, report it quickly." Ziluo put away her sword and went out in response. .

Daiyu lay on the table in frustration, if her father and fourth brother were here, they would know what to do?

Before there was any news from Yinxiang, something happened to Kangxi.Daiyu had always had a light sleep, and she couldn't fall asleep until midnight. She was worried about the day's affairs, and she didn't feel sleepy at all.While being upset, the little eunuch next to Kangxi came and said that Kangxi was suddenly seriously ill and wanted to see the fifteenth princess and Yugege.Everyone hurriedly woke up Ke'er, tidied up in a hurry and went to Yanbo Zhishuangzhai.When he entered, he saw Kangxi lying on the bed, his face was a little pale but his spirit was not bad.Daiyu was puzzled, why Kangxi did not see the other concubines and princes, nor did he see the imperial physician when Kangxi was ill, so he invited their two girls to come.

Seeing them coming in, Li Dequan quickly greeted them personally, "Princess Fifteen, Yugege."

Ke'er looked at Kangxi anxiously, and asked, "How is Huang Ama? Is there any doctor Xuan?"

Li Dequan shook his head in embarrassment and said: "The emperor refuses to announce the imperial physician."

Kangxi over there said: "Li Dequan, take Ke'er to the side hall next to you to rest, and girl Yu will stay with me for a while." Ke'er was a little worried, but she didn't dare to disobey Kangxi's intentions, so she had to follow the court ladies sent by Li Dequan The eunuch went to the side hall, Kangxi looked at her step by step, couldn't help laughing and said: "This girl is filial." Daiyu walked over and said: "My brother and princesses are very filial, but Uncle Huang is not. Treat your own body as one thing. Don’t you sincerely want them to be sad?” Kangxi snorted, sat up with Li Dequan’s support, leaned on the couch and sneered, “How can they be filial? Die early!" Li Dequan next to him was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and tremblingly said: "The emperor is angry! Brothers, I dare not think of such filial piety."

Kangxi seemed to be very angry, he snorted and said, "You are a kind slave!" Li Dequan knelt down on the ground but dared not speak any more.

Daiyu's heart trembled, she was afraid that something really happened.

After Kangxi lost his temper, he seemed a little tired, and said in a low voice: "I'm a little tired, girl, you can stay with me for a while." Daiyu nodded and said: "Uncle Huang, do you want to see the imperial physician first?" Kangxi shook his head and said : "It's okay to see some imperial doctor. Is it possible that everyone knows that I have been ill by this group of rebellious sons? It's okay, just rest for a few days." Daiyu had no choice but to nod and sit on the chair beside the couch. After coming down, listening to Kangxi talking about the prince and the other elder brothers one by one, Daiyu knew in her heart that the reason for this matter might still lie with the prince.

After a long time, Kangxi sighed: "I have treated Yinzhen badly all these years, and even his temper has become weird. I'm afraid he also hates me, Huang Ama." Daiyu quickly comforted: " Fourth brother hates Uncle Huang so much. No matter how much you treat him, he is still his Ama." There must be resentment, but Daiyu knew in her heart that fourth brother still respects and loves her Huang Ama very much, and will never hate him .Kangxi sighed: "He hates me and I don't blame him. I have so many princes and elder brothers, but he is the only one who is strict with him. How can he not complain in his heart? I'm just afraid that if I can't teach him well, he will have no face to face Ling'er in the future." Daiyu said softly: "Fourth brother is fine. Empress Xiaoyi must be very happy to see it in the Spirit of Heaven." After talking for a long time, Kangxi gradually fell into a deep sleep.

Li Dequan walked up to Daiyu on tiptoe and said in a low voice: "Gege Yu, the slave has already prepared a room for you in the side hall, you can go and rest for a while. The old slave here just looks at it." Daiyu nodded and said "I'm sorry, Eunuch Li. If you still don't feel better tomorrow morning, it's better for Imperial Physician Xuan to come and see." Li Dequan smiled and said, "I'm sorry for the old slave. Don't worry, Ge Ge."

The next day, Kangxi's health improved a lot, and he was able to get out of bed and walk around.However, he still announced that he was seriously ill, and all the official documents were pushed to the prince for reading, and he did not see any princes, concubines, princes and ministers. Daiyu didn't know what was going on outside, but the atmosphere of Yanbo Zhishuangzhai was always very dignified. .Occasionally someone came in and out to see Kangxi, and they didn't know what they talked about. Daiyu and Ke'er could only stay in the room and talk, and they couldn't go anywhere.Kangxi's anger didn't disappear, on the contrary, it got worse.I didn't know what I told someone yesterday afternoon, and smashed an official kiln from the Ming Dynasty.

"Yu'er, are you afraid?" Ke'er lived in the palace since she was a child. Although there are endless conspiracies and tricks in the deep palace, such a situation has never happened in the past few days.Daiyu shook her head, comforting Ke'er and said, "Sister Ke'er, don't be afraid. We are by Uncle Huang's side, nothing will happen." Actually, how could you not be afraid?After all, a girl who just turned ten years old, how did she go through all these battles?Looking from the window into the distance, there were suddenly several times more guards today, Daiyu could barely suppress the helplessness in her heart.

The incident finally broke out on the second night. Kangxi issued an imperial decree that shocked everyone, "I have inherited Taizu, Taizong, and Shizu's Hongye for 48 years. Taking law and order as the concept of order. Yunfeng violated the ancestors' virtues and did not follow my training, but he was violent and promiscuous, and it was difficult to say anything. I have tolerated it for 20 years. It is his evil that has grown and humiliated the kings and kings in the court. Baylor, ministers, officials. They specialize in authority and gather party members... Everything Yunfeng uses is far more than mine, and Yi still thinks it is not enough. He willfully take state funds and interfere in political affairs, which will surely destroy our country and destroy our people And then that’s all. If you take this unfilial and unkind person as the king, it will be like the ancestral business. If you write it, you will depose the crown prince..." You can take it as a sentence. The prince has been abolished!)

Daiyu stood beside Kangxi and Li Dequan supported Kangxi on the left and right. Hearing what Kangxi said, the shock in her heart was still speechless, and she could only look straight at the trembling ministers kneeling on the ground, her face drooping tiredly. Among the princes who are leading the way is the crown prince Yinfeng, who is ashen-faced.Kangxi looked at Yinreng and said, "Yinreng, do you have something to say?" Yinreng stared blankly at the unfeeling appearance of Huang Ama, who had been hurting him for decades, and for some reason, he gave a weird smile, Shaking his head, he said, "I have nothing to say." Kangxi nodded, and said indifferently, "In that case, press it down." Two imperial guards took the prince down.Kangxi looked at his son and courtier who was kneeling on the ground with a sad expression.Even if it's not the one I expected, I still love my son for decades.It is impossible for a strong man to cut his wrist without the slightest pain.

"Huang Ama, please take care of the dragon body." The third elder brother Yinzhi said.

The other elder brothers also said repeatedly: "Please take care of the dragon's body." Kangxi waved his hand wearily and said: "Forget it, you all go back. Set off for Beijing tomorrow." Ah buddy, no one dared to say anything more, Qi Qi backed out.It would be wrong to say more at this time.Daiyu supported Kangxi, standing tall, he could see clearly, only then did he realize that one of the elder brothers was missing, "Where did Brother Thirteen go?" He wanted to ask, looking at Kangxi's exhausted appearance, Daiyu suppressed the doubts in her heart.On the contrary, Kangxi looked down at her and said, "Girl Yu, I'm going back to Beijing tomorrow, and I'll send someone to take you back to Jiangnan early in the morning. Lin Ruhai is really smart, it's right to ask you to go back at this time... ...."

. . . . . . .

A chapter of failure, it seems that this trip to Chengde was just to abolish the crown prince.Let's make it right.Looking back, I pondered how to change it~~~~~
