The Warm Jade of the Red Chamber

Zhuang Yu's health was in excellent condition, and his fever subsided the next day.

After his body recovered, Zhuang Yu devoted all his thoughts to what he should do, earnestly and without distractions.

Seeing this, Daiyu finally calmed down a little in her heart. After that night, when Daiyu faced Zhuang Yu, her heartbeat would stall and she would not dare to look directly at her. This kind of strange emotion made her flustered.

Zhuang Yu saw that Daiyu had calmed down, but he secretly laughed. He couldn't push too hard on this shy little daughter-in-law. It is best to be relaxed like this now, so that she gradually realizes that they are With the change in the relationship between them, Daiyu is now at the age when she is beginning to understand what the relationship between a man and a woman is. Take this opportunity to enter her heart, and let her gradually develop a relationship between a man and a woman towards him, without being so aggressive that she would shrink back in fright. Don't dare to think too much.

Zhuang Yu's return to Beijing this time is part of the plan of "leading snakes out of their holes and killing them all" that Zhuang Ye and Emperor Chunyou discussed.

Zhuang Yu chose to settle in the Lin family, because he made the right choice. Now that he is staring at Prince Chengke's mansion, he can hardly count how many pairs there are. Qiu Qingyu still had to bring Daiyu to attend the ceremony.

Prince Zhongmin is capable, and Emperor Chunyou also relies heavily on him. His fifth son is also the second son of the concubine Zheng, and he is a legitimate son, so even if there is no big deal due to the current situation, the people present still There are quite a few, and most of them have high status.

There was nothing unusual about Qiu Qingyu's behavior. As a mother whose son was trapped in the plague area, except for her pale face, there was still nothing wrong with her speech and demeanor. Pretending to comfort her, Qiu Qingyu also calmly said that she believed that Zhuang Yu would be fine, thank you for your concern, but she refused to say more.

It is well known that Princess Zhongshan and Qiu Qingyu are at odds. During the meeting, she frequently provoked Qiu Qingyu, and even said, "Fortunately, you still have two sons, otherwise this Prince Chengke's mansion would really be destroyed..." This kind of meaning is still unsatisfactory, but it is obviously a heart-wrenching remark.

Although Princess Zhongshan immediately patted herself on the mouth lightly, repeatedly blaming herself that she couldn't speak, and begging Qiu Qingyu for forgiveness, a discerning person could tell at a glance that Princess Zhongshan did it on purpose, even the underside of her eyes He doesn't hide his pride.

Qiu Qingyu's face turned red, and Princess Zhongshun, who was sitting next to her, could clearly see that Qiu Qingyu's hands under the table were tightly grasped, and she could even vaguely see the veins on the back of her hands. Very angry.

However, Qiu Qingyu didn't explode because of her anger, she just said calmly: "Sister-in-law San has this spare time to worry about other people's affairs, so she should think about which concubine of Brother Sanhuang has a better character and adopt it as soon as possible, so as not to be unable to raise her." Familiar." Qiu Qingyu is not a person who likes to talk about other people's children, but she really has no kindness towards Princess Zhongshan.

Princess Zhongshan herself is also a poor person. When she was giving birth to her eldest daughter, she was framed by a concubine of Prince Zhongshan, who injured her body and almost killed two people. She has never been seen again since.

Later, Qiu Qingyu grew up, and the medical skills she learned from Mr. Bai gradually matured. Princess Zhongshan came to ask her personally, hoping that Qiu Qingyu could help her.However, she was seriously injured back then, and with Qiu Qingyu's ability, at most she could only help her recuperate, and it was impossible to conceive another child.

Princess Zhongshan begged Qiu Qingyu to help her find Mr. Bai, but Qiu Qingyu couldn't find Mr. Bai herself, so how could she help her?Besides, the friendship between them is very shallow, and there is even some antagonism. Qiu Qingyu is not great enough to try her best to help her.

Unexpectedly, just because Qiu Qingyu was unwilling or unable to help, Princess Zhongshan actually hated Qiu Qingyu, as if Qiu Qingyu was the one who caused her infertility, and she was even more provocative towards Qiu Qingyu after that constantly.

Qiu Qingyu was very helpless and angry with her, and no longer sympathized with her.

Qiu Qingyu's words also touched on the pain of Princess Zhongshan, but what she said herself was even more vicious. Now, except for her face turning pale with anger, she has no position to refute and complain about her grievances.

Qiu Qingyu faced everyone's sympathetic or schadenfreude eyes here, and it can be said that the Chengke Prince's Mansion's dominance and three kings in one family have aroused the jealousy of many people.

It's not easy for Daiyu.

She came to Prince Zhongmin's Mansion after returning to the palace and meeting Qiu Qingyu early this morning. She told Qiu Qingyu about Zhuang Yu when she was in the same carriage with Qiu Qingyu, and Qiu Qingyu had already expected it , so it is not surprising.

When Zhuang Yu came back, most of the uneasiness in Daiyu's heart dissipated, and with Zhuang Yu's guarantee, her worries about Lin Hai were not as serious as before. In addition, Zhuang Yu would tease her intentionally or unintentionally from time to time, and Daiyu's face was full of pain. His shy blushes couldn't be covered up, and his complexion looked a little too good.

Fortunately, in the past few years, out of fun, Daiyu has learned a little disguise from Qiu Qingyu. Although she has only learned a little bit, it is not a problem to make her complexion look worse.

The table where Daiyu was sitting was all of the same generation, either Emperor Chunyou's daughter-in-law or nephew's daughter-in-law, and the others were all married when they reached the marriageable age. Unlike Daiyu, she was a "child bride", so she It's 12 years old now, and at a glance, it's still the youngest one at this table.

Daiyu has attended various occasions with Qiu Qingyu in the past few years, and not every time she can spend it peacefully.As the royal concubine of Prince Chengke's mansion—the future hostess, many people discuss her rights and wrongs behind her back in a sour tone, saying that she is only the daughter of a third-rank official, but she has become the prince's son. Even the father of the family ascended to heaven, such words are too numerous to enumerate.Although Daiyu is now able to deal with these sour words indifferently, she also felt aggrieved and angry at the beginning, and even had a small dispute with Zhuang Yu because of this. In any case, no matter how well Daiyu performed on the spot, she still didn't like such an occasion in her heart.

At their table, Jia Yuanchun, Princess of Minjing County, sat at the head. Because of her relative relationship with Daiyu, she seemed to take care of Daiyu. She not only greeted Daiyu warmly, but even secretly Wiping away tears, said: "My poor sister..."

In the eyes of many people, Daiyu is an extremely lucky girl. Now that Princess Minjing said this, everyone naturally knows what she is referring to.

Conscious and unintentional people are all watching Daiyu's reaction.

Although Daiyu and Jia Yuanchun are cousins, they don't have any particularly close contacts.When Jia Yuanchun's status was lower than that of Daiyu, she paid her respects to Daiyu, so when she finally became the princess of the county, she wanted to beat Daiyu everywhere, as if in this way she could get back her lost face.

Daiyu herself is intelligent and sensitive, so she naturally sensed that Jia Yuanchun didn't have any kindness towards her. She was not familiar with Jia Yuanchun, so naturally she wouldn't rush to get along with Jia Yuanchun, and she didn't have much contact with Jia Yuanchun when she had nothing to do. .

Now that Jia Yuanchun is uncharacteristically, and wants to play sisterly love with her, Daiyu intuitively feels that nothing good will happen.

Daiyu couldn't help but became wary of Jia Yuanchun, and she accidentally showed a bit of wariness on her face: "I don't know why big sister said that?"

Jia Yuanchun naturally expressed his worry and concern for Lin Hai and Zhuang Yu, but inside and outside the words, he repeatedly revealed that they were in danger.

"Of course my father and son will come back safely, so don't bother Princess Minjing." Daiyu couldn't help raising her eyebrows and sneered, "Could it be that the princess blamed me for sending someone to take the cousin of the princess's natal family a few days ago?" My brother drove me out of the gate, so I said this kind of thing on purpose to provoke me? Don’t you know that the princess of the county knows that there are only women and children left in my natal family, how can I let a man with a different surname go straight to the second door? Naturally, it is better to drive out. Presumably the county The concubine was used to getting along with her brothers in the past, so she couldn't understand what was wrong for a while, so she was so eager to fight the injustice. However, the concubine of the county should use more discretion when speaking, and the rescuers in the disaster-stricken area are still insisting. The princess of the county is here to say something that disturbs people's hearts, I don't know what her intentions are?"

Daiyu didn't usually have a soft personality, and even the jealous person said sourly behind her back that she was sharp-tongued, but her usual tone would never be as aggressive as it is now.

Even if Jia Yuanchun didn't want to, he still had to admit that Daiyu's behavior was very decent, even if she sometimes asked someone to smear her face and refuted it, it was an understatement so that no one could pick a thorn in her face.However, today she was obviously out of proportion and a little anxious. Does this mean that the news of Zhuang Yu and Lin Hai's accident is not a trap?Compared to Qiu Qingyu, Daiyu was obviously more likely to reveal her flaws.

Jia Yuanchun was smeared by Daiyu, she was really angry in her heart, her face was distorted for a moment, but she was helpless, even though her status is higher than Daiyu now, she couldn't bear Daiyu's favor.Not only is Daiyu favored by the Prince Chengke's family, but also the marriage was personally ordered by the Supreme Emperor. For Zhuang Yu's sake, the Emperor and Empress doted on her a lot.It was impossible for Jia Yuanchun to do anything to Daiyu.However, Jia Yuanchun thought of Zhuang Wei's order before coming today, and his goal for today has been achieved, so he temporarily endured this anger-in fact, what can he do if he can't bear it?I really complied with what Daiyu said, when the front-line soldiers are still insisting, I am alarmist in the rear, and when the time comes, I will not be able to do well, and I may even implicate Zhuang Wei. With Zhuang Wei's cold personality, when the time comes I'm afraid it's my own fault.

Jia Yuanchun got the result he wanted, so he comforted himself in his heart, waiting for Zhuang Yu's accident to be gone, and seeing how Daiyu, a widow who didn't even have a consummated house, would deal with herself.At that time, she would ask someone to spread Daiyu Kefu's words in secret, and believed that Zhuang Ye and Qiu Qingyu would be enough for Daiyu.

There was also someone who was winking at the scene, and immediately changed the topic, lest the two people really match up, but it will not end well. They are all here to participate in the banquet today, not to spoil the situation.

Soon, the atmosphere at the scene became joyful again. To be the royal daughter-in-law, this superficial skill must be learned.

As a married woman, all she can talk about is her husband and children. Although she is concerned that Daiyu and Zhuang Yu haven't consummated their marriage yet, after all, she is still a child, and she is a bit shy about talking about it, but it is heard in Daiyu's ears. , It's really embarrassing.

Daiyu tried her best to let herself ignore what they said, and couldn't help but wander off. Who knew that her appearance, in the eyes of caring people, became a proof of "out of mind".

Jia Yuanchun returned to Minjing County Prince's Mansion that day, and first vented his anger by smashing two antique vases, and then recovered his usual grace and luxury, and went to Zhuang Wei to report the situation.

Zhuang Wei's source of information is not just Jia Yuanchun, he has integrated information from various sources, especially he has more than one private channel to send him news from the disaster area, and all the news that came back confirmed that Zhuang Yu and Lin Hai were trapped in the The plague area, and Zhuang Yu had already shown signs of fever.

Zhuang Wei felt more and more that Zhuang Yu might really be killed this time.

Not only Zhuang Wei thought so, Prince Zhongshan, Prince Zhongmin, and Prince Zhongshun all came to such a conclusion.

Because Qiu Qingyu seldom used the Disguise Technique and kept it a secret, Zhuang Wei and the others would never have thought that Zhuang Yu in the plague area was someone pretending to be.
