Love in the Red Chamber is full of Xiaoxiang

In the middle of the night, there was a strong wind, lightning and thunder.The parapet wall in the garden collapsed in the early hours of the morning because the roots of the walls were softened, and there was only a bang.

Shui Rong hurriedly got up from the bed, Daiyu was in a deep sleep, and with a look of panic on her face, she hurriedly asked, "What happened?"

Shui Rong quickly pressed her body that was about to get up: "Don't worry, it should be nothing wrong, I'll go out and have a look. You should sleep well."

There was thunder and rain outside, how could Daiyu sleep.

It was pitch black in front of me, and occasionally two streaks of white lightning flashed by the window, illuminating the room brightly.

Shui Rong had already touched the clothes and put them on, took advantage of the lightning, found the fire sickle, and lit a candle.

Daiyu was afraid of lightning, so she got her head into the quilt and curled up like a kitten.

Xiyue came in: "Why did the prince get up, what's the matter?"

Shui Rong said: "I'll go out and have a look."

Xiyue looked a little tired, and quickly dissuaded: "My lord, it's raining heavily outside, it's better not to go out. I'll let someone go and have a look."

Shui Rong said: "Alright, be careful not to fall." When he got out of the Bisha closet, Xiyue had already opened the door to ask Nanny Fang who was sleeping in the East Wing to look at the back garden to see what happened. .

Nanny Fang asked a little girl to open an umbrella, and she went out with a glass hydrangea lantern in her hand.

Not long after, Nanny Fang came back, and reported back to Shui Rong: "Go back to the prince, the parapet wall to the west of Wangyue Pavilion fell down, nothing happened."

Shui Rong was relieved just now, and went back to sleep when he saw that there was nothing wrong.

The sound of thunder and rain did not stop until the fourth watch, and by the fifth watch, Shui Rong had already got up to go to court, and Daiyu also got up.

Shui Rong asked her: "What are you doing when you wake up so early, don't lie down properly."

Daiyu said: "I have to pay my respects to the Empress Dowager. I haven't been there for several days."

Shui Rong said: "It's still too early to say hello, let's get some more sleep."

Where Daiyu could still fall asleep, she got up and wanted to help Shui Rong dress and freshen herself. At the same time, she couldn't help worrying: "Although I can't help you with the court affairs, I just advise the prince to pay more attention to everything and take care of your body." She brought the jade apron to the Shui Rong apron with her own hands, and arranged the collar of the white middle single inside for him.

Before Shui Rong left, Daiyu hugged his waist from behind, Shui Rong turned around and hugged her body with a smile, whispered something in her ear, Daiyu quickly pushed him away with a smile, the two The cheeks were slightly red: "Go quickly, be careful."

Tong Yun and Zi Ping were busy tidying up the bedding. Seeing this scene, they couldn't help but blush, thinking that the life between husband and wife is like this, she is not very old, and she doesn't understand much, but seeing the prince and concubine like this, she thought to herself They must have had a very sweet life, and there was a trace of envy in their hearts.

Xiyue brought out a set of blue feather satin, which was exactly what she would wear on rainy days, she wrapped it up and gave it to Liu'er to take with her.Shui Rong always felt that the people in the house were a bit long-winded, so he went out after changing his shoes.

After the heavy rain, some trees have been uprooted, some have been blown to this side, the sky is a little bright, and many leaves have been blown off the ground, and there is a sense of bleakness.

When it was Chen time, Daiyu entered the palace in a sedan chair.First go to the Ningshou Palace to greet the Queen Mother.Concubine Jinghuang was promoted to be the empress dowager, so she naturally lived a chic and comfortable life. She was only in her forties, and she was well maintained. She looked only in her early thirties.He had only one son in his life, and he was not favored when the first emperor was still alive, but he raised a good son after all.If Shiying is not Shiheng, the imperial concubine may still be the empress dowager, but after all, she is separated from the emperor by a layer, and she is not her own son, so she cannot have a heart-to-heart relationship after all.

In the outer hall of Ningshou Palace, people who came to pay their respects had already knelt on the ground, Daiyu saw Princess Nan'an and Princess Duan and went to talk to them in a low voice.

The Empress Dowager came out, supported the young empress with one hand and the old mother who was close to her with the other, and sat down upright on the soft couch.Everyone came forward to salute.

The queen mother looked a little sleepy, she seemed to have just woken up, raised her hand, said a few words, looked at the crowd, and suddenly cast a glance at the queen, and asked: "I heard that King Ke has returned to the capital. Why don't Princess Ke come into the palace to have a look at me, an old lady."

The queen had no choice but to say: "I don't know if it will take two days to rectify this long journey."

The Queen Mother sneered and said: "King Ke went to train in southern Yunnan, but Princess Ke stayed in the capital all the time. Is she also on a long journey? Not to mention anything else, I am still her elder. Such ignorance of rules is not an eyesore." The Empress Dowager's eyes lingered on Daiyu again, thinking about the matter of going to the Empress Dowager Xiaojing to beg for his son back then, she never thought that it was such a woman who made the Empress Dowager Xiaojing save her face.There was a slight resentment in my heart.

The queen mother smiled slightly, and asked loudly: "I heard from the people in the imperial hospital that Princess Bei is still recuperating. What kind of disease is this?"

Daiyu got up and replied: "The Queen Mother, it's just a little deficiency, and now I'm still taking the pills from Dr. Gan, and I'm almost healed."

The Queen Mother smiled and said: "Taking medicine is a hard job. The Northern Princess has become a medicine jar at a young age. It seems that she is not as good as the former Princess Han. What should I do in the future. The Northern Prince is not young, but Not a man and a half woman, no wonder Empress Dowager Xiaojing is so worried about sending a few women for Lord Bei."

Daiyu felt that her face was slightly hot, everyone in the room looked at her, Daiyu suddenly felt extremely embarrassed, as if everyone was watching a joke, mocking Daiyu for not having a strong body, Infertile.She lowered her head slightly, and said respectfully: "Our prince doesn't really care about it, and he can't ask for it."

The queen mother laughed when she heard about it: "Why doesn't Prince Bei understand the truth? He's not a child. He's not nervous at all. I don't have the heart to take care of other families' affairs, otherwise I'd have to do a good job for Prince Bei. "

Daiyu only felt a thorn slowly poking at the tip of her heart, she felt a faint pain, she bit her lip, not knowing what to say.Later Princess Nan'an came out and said on behalf of Daiyu: "I'm afraid that outsiders like us can't worry about these things. This young couple is harmonious and harmonious. Maybe next year they can have a white and fat son. You are young, the Empress Dowager need not worry."

The queen mother sneered: "Eat salty radishes and don't worry about it. I don't care what to do, let's live with each other. But I have something to say to Princess Bei. If it is not my own son, after all, it is separated from the belly. The adoption is under my own name, and it is still through my stomach, no matter how good you are to that child, the only thing he can remember is his mother."

Everyone didn't know what happened to the Queen Mother today, they talked about the matter of Princess Bei, and they didn't know why they were so sure that she would not be able to have children.

The queen mother casually said a few other things, and everyone dispersed.Daiyu felt wronged in her heart, but she couldn't find anyone to confide in.On the contrary, Princess Nan'an came, took Daiyu's hand for a long walk, and first said to Daiyu: "The concubine is talking about you, come and sit at home when you are free."

Daiyu agreed.

Princess Nan'an looked at her not very happy, and knew the reason. After walking out of Ningshou Palace, Princess Nan'an and Daiyu whispered: "It is said that the sixth prince wanted to take you as his concubine, please ask the concubine Jing The empress went to ask the empress dowager. The empress dowager didn't agree. Many people inside and outside the palace knew about the incident. Concubine Jing's face was disheartened. So I'm afraid she still has a grudge in her heart. Sister, don't think too much, the empress dowager will say it if she wants to. Go. But didn't the queen mother say that you don't have to worry about these family affairs. Close the door and live your life well, what are you afraid of. I often hear people from your side say that your prince is very kind to you. You're just born weaker, and you can't get infertility, so you can't have a baby. Wait a year or two and see, who knows."

Daiyu has calmed down quite a bit, and she thanked Princess Nan'an for what she had said to her, Fang said: "What Wangfei said is very true, Daiyu will keep it in mind."

Princess Nan'an smiled again: "Your sister is a person of first-class talent and appearance, so I can't complain that many people love you. Of course, she deserves to be loved by others. The concubine often said that my sister is lucky and there will be great days in the future. It is better to be happy. .Fortunately, I didn’t send my sister to Qianxiang Country to get married, otherwise it would be a real pity.”

Daiyu sighed quietly: "It's a pity that my third sister walked this road for me."

Princess Nan'an hurriedly said: "Hey, this is also called personal fate. Maybe sister Jia is still living very comfortably there. Why bother with these troublesome things in Beijing."

The two walked for a long time, and they didn't separate until they got on the sedan chair.

After returning to the palace, Daiyu stayed in the room and refused to come out or talk to anyone.Knowing that Shui Rong came down from the court, Daiyu finally showed a slight joy on her face.

"My lord is back."

Shui Rong had a dignified face, sat down and drank a cup of tea quietly.Seeing that he was not as happy as before, Daiyu knew that it was for disaster relief, so she sat down in front of him and quietly accompanied him.

Neither of them spoke.

Xiyue waited to see her, thinking what happened to the two masters today, one was silent and the other only knew how to drink tea.One frowned, one sighed, wondering if something big happened?I felt uneasy and anxious to break the depressing atmosphere.Then he laughed and said: "The prince came back too early today, our princess has been looking forward to it."

Shui Rong seemed a little bit uninspired, and at the same time a little tired, said coldly: "I came back when I have nothing to do." Then said to Xiyue: "There is nothing to do here, you go down first."

Xiyue glanced at the two masters, and faintly sensed something strange, but she didn't dare to ask each other, so she had to back down.

Daiyu still sat quietly in front of her, sipping her tea slowly.Daiyu was waiting for him to speak, thinking that no matter what happened, she would be able to face it with Shui Rong.
