Cold fragrance and warm jade [Red Mansion Chai Dai]

Yuan Chun has already sensed the strange undercurrent in the court recently.

The conflict between the Queen and the Crown Prince, the closeness between the King of Nan'an and the Crown Prince... and even the contacts of some families outside the court made Yuan Chun feel uneasy.

There is nothing she can do.

Baoqin sent out all the other maids and eunuchs who were serving, and then stood next to Yuanchun in the room, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, please take care of yourself, don't overthink it, it's not good for the fetus."

Yuan Chun's furrowed eyebrows never relaxed.

She caressed her lower abdomen with one hand, and held the hand holding the piano with the other.

"Why don't I know? It's just that if this child is not born and grows up, I can't relax for a day."

As she spoke, she sighed softly again: "I don't know when there will be a result between the crown prince and the third prince."

If she only gave birth to a princess, and if she just waited for the child to be born, she would be able to relax a bit.But if it's the little prince, even if the child is born safely, she won't be able to relax!

The emperor is now in his prime, and he does not know how long he will sit on the throne.If there is another one in 30 or [-] years, and her children will grow up by then, it might not be possible to compete for that position. How can others rest assured of her?

Now she counts as taking refuge in the queen, she is on the prince's side, but she gave birth to the little prince, and she dare not say that the queen will treat her like today.

It was with such worries that she decided to marry Baoyu and Baochai early.

She is in the deep palace, but she knows that the current Xue family has followed the Lin family to vote for the third prince.Because of her relationship, Jia's family has long sided with the prince. She doesn't know whether the third prince who is now looking to compete with the prince can really become the final winner, but she must leave a way out for her most beloved brother , but also to leave a way for the family.

It just so happened that there was talk of a golden and jade marriage, and there were good reasons for her decree to bestow the marriage.

She didn't dare to marry Daiyu, she was afraid that this move would cause dissatisfaction with the Lin family.With Lin Ruhai's private friendship with the emperor, and Lin Ruhai's status in the court, I'm afraid that even her own status in the palace will be threatened by then.

Therefore, she can only choose the Xue family, and choose Baochai who is very close to Daiyu.

That day, the visiting relatives went home and examined Baoyu with poetry and prose. Although she saw that Baoyu's talent had grown, she also saw that Baoyu's temperament was not suitable for the officialdom.

Since he had no hope for Baoyu's official career, Yuanchun hoped that his younger brother would continue to be a rich and carefree son in the future.

Although Mrs. Wang said that Baochai usually persuades Baoyu to improve, which seems to be inconsistent with her expectations for Baoyu's future, but in the final analysis, Yuan Chun also vaguely hopes that Baoyu will understand that one day, after all, he has power and power, so that he can hold on Those glorious days.

Her arrangement is only so that Baoyu will not change for the rest of her life, and she can still live in peace, so that she can have an offspring in this house.

Jia Lan is also a good child, but she has been separated from her for a generation, and he did not grow up with her, so he is emotionally estranged.She thinks more about Baoyu than Jialan.

Baoqin has been with Yuanchun for many years, and knows her master's thoughts well, and she can't share her worries at this moment. She can only hold Yuanchun's hand tightly, so that master can know that she will always be by his side.

Let's talk about the Grand View Garden.

Everyone drank according to the wine order, even Daiyu, who was usually in poor health, drank two cups of warm wine, and now her face was flushed, not to mention Xiangyun, who was naturally wedding, was already drunk.

That is to say, the garden is dominated by women, and even the servants have no chance to come in. Even if the master orders them to come in to help with errands, they should stay far away from the girls and girls. Now that no one dares to come here, don't worry. The appearance of the girls was watched by other men.

After playing for a long time, the sisters had to go to other places in the garden to play, and Daiyu had to go back to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion to take a bath and change clothes.

She didn't drink much in the first place, and she felt refreshed after taking a bath, and even most of the alcohol had dissipated, so she started to take a leisurely stroll in the garden.

Before he had gone far, he suddenly saw a young girl sleeping on a stone bench half covered by the shade of flowers.

At the beginning, Daiyu felt that the clothes she was wearing were somewhat familiar, but after a closer look, she realized that it was Xiangyun, so she stepped forward to push her awake with a smile, and said with a smile, "Why are you sleeping here? Are you not afraid of catching a cold? Get up quickly." !"

After pushing for a long time, and the girl who was hanging out with Daiyu was also helping, Xiangyun was willing to half-open his eyes and let out a few murmurs that he didn't know the meaning of.

This place is not far from the Xiaoxiang Pavilion, so Daiyu asked the maids to send Xiangyun to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion half supported and half supported, so that Xiangyun could fall asleep comfortably.

Seeing that Xiangyun was still unwilling to wake up after being tormented, Daiyu was about to go to the study to read for a while, when Xiangyun called "Sister Lin" in a daze.

Daiyu turned back to the bed and said with a smile, "Good drunk girl! You want to sleep, but you can't sleep peacefully? What do you want me to do with you?"

"Sister Lin..." Xiangyun didn't seem to really wake up, so he called out again in a daze, and Fang Zhen looked at Daiyu, "I heard that this year, the empress gave the same gift to Sister Bao and Second Brother. The etiquette, you said, but why?"

Daiyu's heart trembled, and she didn't know where this inexplicable guilt came from, she hurriedly looked around, and saw that the girls and women were still waiting outside, and the nearest one was quite far away, so she probably couldn't hear Xiangyun's voice Whispering while half asleep, Fang leaned closer and said, "Who did you listen to? How did I know it wasn't so?"

She just knew that her Dragon Boat Festival gift was only the same as Baochai's, at that time her heart was full of secret joy, and she didn't go into it deeply.

She doesn't like to publicize these things, and she has only been in Taiwan for a short time, so she didn't discuss them with others.

However, there are always servants in the mansion who are disrespectful, intentionally or unintentionally spreading all kinds of news, no matter how careless Daiyu is, she can hear them talking about the things the empress gave at the Dragon Boat Festival.

Other people have talked about the rituals of offering sacrifices and offering rewards to everyone.However, the etiquette between her and Baoyu and Baochai is rarely mentioned, and when it is mentioned, some servants have confused it for a while, and the information is vague.

But Xiangyun didn't say that anymore, and only vaguely talked about today's wine orders, such as "the fragrance of the spring makes the wine bitter", "the jade bowl is filled with amber light", and Daiyu would be amused by her even if she wanted to ask more questions .

Xiangyun gradually fell asleep and stopped talking and drinking, and fell into a deep sleep. Daiyu left the bed and asked the maid to take care of Xiangyun before taking out the list of Dragon Boat Festival rituals.

She looked more carefully this time, and finally saw some clues.

Ren Huanxi suppressed her doubts because she didn't think deeply about it yesterday.Now reminded by Xiangyun's drunken words, she can no longer pretend to be confused.

The words on the list are vaguely written in Tanchun's handwriting.

After all, Tanchun didn't specialize in learning how to imitate other people's characters. She practiced calligraphy on a daily basis and was determined to write characters with her own style. Therefore, even if she was invited to imitate the list, she always brought some of her unique habits.

Thinking about Baoyu's birthday today, Tanchun and Baochai were standing so close to each other, and they didn't know what private words they were talking about, Daiyu had guessed most of the truth.

Although I don't know why other people dare to help Baoyu to hide the truth, it must be Baoyu's many entanglements that make others have to follow his wishes.

The hand holding the list was tightened at some point, and she propped her body against the table, while Daiyu rubbed her heart with the other hand.

It hurts a little, unreal, mixed with sourness and bitterness.

Seeing her like this, the girl who was a few steps away worriedly stepped forward.

"Girl, but you don't feel well? Are you going to call a doctor?"

Xiangling also followed Daiyu to Jia's house this time, only hearing the voices of the girls, she also hurried over.

Daiyu turned around and said with a smile: "Look how worried you are? I just stayed with Miss Yun by the bedside, and I got up in a hurry and felt a little dizzy. Fortunately, the road in this house is okay for me. Familiar, I was able to hold on for a few steps, and then I took a rest by the table. You are all like this, and others will see me as something! If someone says that I want to do this on Baoyu’s birthday Waiting for frivolity will not be good."

The little girl who first found out that Daiyu was wrong didn't know whether Daiyu's words were true or not, she only looked at Daiyu's expression which was not bad, only slightly pale.

Feeling dizzy all over the body after sitting for a long time is not really a big problem, it happens to many people.Daiyu is weak by nature, she will feel dizzy if she doesn't pay attention, which is really normal.

However, Xiangling knows that Daiyu has been cherishing her body more and more recently, and there are many people around her always telling Daiyu to pay attention to this and that. It is urgent.

Moreover, the bedside is a little far away from here, Zong Daiyu said she was familiar with the furnishings in the house, and then she walked to the table, Xiangling still didn't believe it.

Seeing that Daiyu had already put the things in her hands into the drawer, and said that she wanted to go out for a walk, Xiangling had to accompany Daiyu out first.

In the Grand View Garden, the singing of swallows and warblers, and the little girls talking and joking, even if there were some disputes, with their delicate and crisp voices, it didn't seem noisy.

Xiangling walked with Daiyu by the water, seeing Daiyu staring at the flowing water, she asked with a smile, "What are you thinking, Miss?"

"I just wonder where these flowers will go after being sent out by water." Daiyu couldn't hide her melancholy, so she could only find another reason for herself.

This is not a lie, she did have such doubts, and was also worried about the ending of Luohua after she drifted away with the current, but this is not what she is thinking about at the moment.

Daiyu has always had the habit of mourning spring and autumn, and Xiangling heard her recite a few lines of poems, and simply talked about some poems with Daiyu.Today when the drinking order was held, the girls said some relatively rare poems, Xiangling only remembered them at the time, but now that she is free, she asked Daiyu.

It wasn't until returning to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion that Xiangling found time to quietly open the drawer while Daiyu wasn't paying attention, and saw the ceremony list still crumpled.

Xiangling kept it in her heart, and hurriedly found other people to play with.

She knew that she couldn't understand the root of Daiyu's abnormality during the day, and she saw that Daiyu's body was fine, so she could only keep the matter in her heart so that she could tell Chongyu when she returned home.

Daiyu didn't know about it.

Baoyu's birthday has passed, and Yuanchun promised that there will be three consecutive days of safe offerings from the first day of the lunar new year. Baoyu, the man of Jia's family, will also go to kowtow to the Buddha. Stay longer, simply let the family pick it up first.

Both Jia Mu and Wang Xifeng felt a little bit reluctant.

The two of them are different from the girls in the Jia family, and they still have many opportunities to meet Daiyu at the Lin family, but seeing that everyone from the Lin family has already arrived, it is not easy to force them to stay, so Mother Jia can only let Wang Xifeng take Daiyu out.Moreover, the people sent by Baolinghou's mansion to pick up Xiangyun came earlier than those from the Lin family. Jia Mu didn't keep Xiangyun, and it was hard to force Daiyu to stay.

The Yingchun sisters and Baochai also came to see Daiyu off. Although they could meet again at the Lin family after the Dragon Boat Festival, they still had something to say to each other.

While saying goodbye to her sisters, Daiyu secretly observed Baochai, only to see that Baochai was still smiling warmly, the sourness in her heart surged up again, she hurriedly said a few words to her sisters, and then came to pick up her The family turned and left.
