Love in the Red Chamber, Drunken Water, Jade Dream

Chapter 36, Reunion in the Bamboo Forest

After sending off Prince Nan'an, the night was dark, and in the quiet corridor, a few dim yellow lanterns were flickering faintly, and a gust of night wind blew past, causing the light to flicker on and off.

Sucking out some drunken breath, Shui Rong walked sideways into the concubine's yard, the girl at the door rushed up to greet him, Shui Rong whispered: "Has the concubine rested yet?"

The girl said: "Go back to the lord, the concubine hasn't rested yet, she was still talking about the lord just now." With a soft snort, Shui Rong stepped in.

The concubine was leaning against the beauty, talking to Sister Qing, when she saw Shui Rong came in with a slightly red face, the concubine said: "I heard people say that Prince Nan is in the mansion tonight."

Shui Rong said: "Yes, the prince may have to go out on business in a few days, so Yi Bing..." Lifting his head, Shui Rong said: "The game they sent is still suitable for the concubine's taste."

The concubine smiled and said, "Very good, but unfortunately I don't dare to eat more, you should be more careful, and let them cook a bowl of japonica rice porridge for you when you go back, be careful of food accumulation."

Shui Rong replied with a smile, and said, "Yi Bing made it down, does the concubine feel better?" The concubine sighed, and said, "It's not the same as before. After taking the medicine, I feel much better now. I just talked with you just now." What Ah Qing is saying, with my body, I don't know if I can wait until I have a grandson."

Shui Rong coughed softly, and said: "Toffee Concubine, just relax, it's important to take care of your body, and Yi Bing will do these things well." Seeing Shui Rong's calm look resentfully, Bei Dowager Concubine said: "I thought I could breathe a sigh of relief with the emperor's bestowal of marriage, but who knows... I really didn't expect it."

Sister Qing hastily persuaded: "Toffee Concubine, don't be in a hurry, the imperial doctor ordered the Concubine to be calm, otherwise it will be bad for your health." The Northern Concubine nodded and said, "Yi Bing, where is the boss of the Xifu today?" Another house aunt, you know, they have never given up, seeing our house is deserted, I am anxious."

Shui Rong took a step forward, and said to Concubine Bei: "Yi Bing knows everything that Concubine Tai has ordered, and Yi Bing will definitely not disappoint Concubine Tai." Concubine Tai sighed, "It's good that you understand, Yi Bing Bing, you must take this throne seriously, otherwise I will have no face to meet the old prince."

Shui Rong hurriedly said: "Don't worry, the concubine." After taking a look at Shui Rong, the concubine said: "When I feel better, I will go to the queen mother to urge the emperor to choose a princess for you as soon as possible. Yes, it's not that I'm talking too much, Yi Bing, you should also go and see the West Courtyard."

Responding perfunctorily, Shui Rong said: "Yi Bing knows it well, Concubine don't have to worry." After saying a few more words, Shui Rong left.

There is no moon tonight, and the dark sky is a bit humid. Shui Rong didn't rush back to the room, and slowly walked towards the backyard with his hands behind his back. The slightly chilly wind brushed his cool and handsome face, and there was a faint fragrance.

Without looking back, Shui Rong said indifferently: "What kind of incense is this?" Six sons sniffed it, and said: "Maybe it's sandalwood, maybe someone is burning incense in that yard."

Gently breathing a sigh of relief, Shui Rong looked at the faint light in the west courtyard, there was a special charm in this dusky night.

He sneered lightly, his water-soluble white jade-like complexion shone with a faint luster under the night, the brilliance in his black pupils was like a stunning flash in the pan, and the words of Prince Nan'an still lingered in his ears: "Which one is not behind you?" I can't bear the intricate purpose."

In the night wind, there was a faint sound of the piano, rippling in the quiet courtyard, making people feel intoxicated. The six sons took a peek at Shui Rong, who narrowed his eyes slightly, and couldn't help saying in a low voice: "My lord."

When he came back to his senses, Shui Rongfeng opened his sharp eyes, and the calm brilliance returned to his sharp eyes. He turned around and left without hesitation, and his cold voice came from behind: "Go back to the room."

The Empress Dowager's birthday is a major event in the harem. Although it has nothing to do with Daiyu, Daiyu can also feel the grandeur and busyness. Changping Palace also seemed to be more restless than usual.

Wen Ning's prescription was very effective, and in addition, the night incident that Daiyu had been worrying about was silent, as if it had never happened, so that the heart that was hanging in the air was slowly relieved, the heart disease was cured, and naturally the disease in the body was also relieved. Healed quickly.

After Princess Changping paid homage to the Queen Mother, she sent someone to invite Princess Xian and Daiyu to go to the theater together. Daiyu didn't want to go, but Princess Xian said with a smile: "Your illness is just right, and it's just right to go out because of this. Wouldn't it be better to go for a walk, relax, and get rid of all the bad luck and sickness."

Daiyu thought that she was just bored in the room for the past two days, not to mention it was the princess's kindness, she might not be able to justify not going, so she nodded, asked Zijuan to tidy up, and walked to the Palace of Compassionate Peace with Princess Xian.

Today's Empress Dowager likes to watch operas, so the emperor specially ordered people to circle an empty hall behind the Palace of Compassion and Ning. When Daiyu and the others went, the opera was already singing, the faint tunes were lingering and tortuous, the handsome appearances were lifelike, and the concubine's womb inside The concubine, the maid and the eunuch are pointing with great interest.

Greeting Princess Changping from a distance, Princess Xian and Daiyu found a seat and sat down. They sang "Hui Chan Palace" on the stage. Daiyu didn't like this kind of song very much, but she couldn't leave. I had to force myself to sit there.

After all, she had just been ill, and after sitting for a while, Daiyu felt a little drowsy, and finally couldn't help it, Daiyu talked to Princess Xian, and walked out with Zijuan.

The afternoon sun outside was shining warmly, and when the cool breeze blew, Daiyu felt that the discomfort just now was a little lighter. Looking back at the noisy palace, Daiyu is a person who likes to be quiet and not to make noise. , whispered: "Zicuckoo, go and tell the princess, we will go back first."

Since most of the masters are listening to the opera, you can see palace maids chatting and laughing in twos and threes under the shade of trees everywhere, and turning out of the promenade, the noisy laughter gradually faded away. Zijuan said to Daiyu: "Girl, most people in the palace Inside, there are few people on the road, so let's walk back slowly."

Nodding her head, Daiyu said softly, "That's okay, I've been in the palace for so many days, and I really haven't had a good look at it."

Along the way, although it is already autumn, the scenery in the harem is still unabated, green beams and painted buildings, maple red bamboo green, unknown flowers and plants are full of vitality.

In front is a winding stone path, with thin bamboos on both sides for shade, and fences covering the path. It feels like a winding path leads to seclusion. Walking in it, you feel cool and refreshed.

Zijuan whispered to Daiyu, "Girl, be careful where you step." Daiyu turned her head and gave Zijuan a look, and said, "I'm not blind." Then came out a woman in a graceful attire, with a faint blush on her beautiful and elegant face, and a small bamboo leaf hanging out of place on her smooth and delicate hair, making her look a little flustered.

Not only Daiyu and Zijuan were stunned for a moment, but Wanyi was also stunned when she saw that it was not her court lady but two strangers in front of her. She couldn't help but turned her head and glanced into the depths of the bamboo forest, her pretty face was uncertain , Surrounded by an astonishing silence.
