Dream of the Red Chamber: Rong Dai

For a moment, the whole hall was silent, and Sun Li and Nan'an Concubine's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law even clenched their teeth, their faces almost ashamed.

Yan Ling took the lead and said with a smile: "This is a great joy, congratulations to Princess Bei Jing, Princess Bei Jing, and happy to add Liner to the mansion in the coming year."

Hearing what Princess Yanling said, everyone stood up to congratulate each other, and Sang Qingyan held Daiyu's little hand and said, "What a bad girl, you didn't let us know that you were pregnant, but I will punish you to do it tomorrow. East."

Daiyu nodded with a smile, pulled her hands away, a blush was stained on her quiet face, she smiled lowly, and everyone who watched couldn't help joking, only Shui Wanyu stepped forward to help Daiyu back to her seat.

Concubine Beijing patted Daiyu's little hand lovingly, looked at everyone and smiled and said, "The Empress Dowager always knew that this child is the most thin-skinned, if I hadn't asked her personal servant girl the day before yesterday, even I would do not know yet."

"This child is a bit thin-boned, so he sent the best bird's nest and supplements from Aijia Palace to the Beijing Palace."

Concubine Beijing hurriedly took Daiyu and Shui Wanyu's hands and got up, and was about to lean over to thank her, but she heard the Empress Dowager laugh and said: "That's all, it's all the flesh and blood of the family, the Ai family doesn't need you to thank them."

Concubine Nan'an smiled awkwardly, looked at Daiyu's pink and white face, and said: "Princess Beijing is also a quiet person, so such a big happy event is hidden from everyone."

With a smile in the corner of Sun Li's mouth, she glanced at Daiyu, then turned to look at the queen mother, got up and said with a smile: "This is a great joy in the Beijing Palace. However, it is inevitable that Princess Beijing will be negligent when she is pregnant. , wouldn't it be better to find two sensible people to enter the mansion, and let Princess Beijing have a good baby, wouldn't it?"

There was a smile in Daiyu's clear eyes, and there was Dongxue Qingming in that smile, she said with a faint smile: "The First Prince and Concubine seems to be very concerned about the affairs of our Beijing Palace. It's just that she is too eager."

Sun Li's face remained unchanged, she glanced coldly at Daiyu with her sharp eyes like a knife, and said with a smile: "I originally wanted to share the worries of the empress dowager, grandmother and father. Said that our royal family treated others harshly."

"As a member of the royal family, it is originally his duty to share the worries of the emperor, the country, and seek the well-being of the people. If the eldest princess and concubine say so, it is difficult for the civil and military officials in the court. , Are you thinking of any rewards from the court and the emperor?"

What Daiyu said was a bit sharp and the meaning of rejection was also strong. Sun Li's faintly smiling eyes reflected more and more hatred and anger. After thinking about it, she smiled and said: "The crown prince of the country is the crown prince. Except for the queen mother and queen, the crown prince and concubine are the only ones." Are you qualified to share the worries and relieve labor for the empress dowager and the emperor? Although the eldest concubine is the eldest concubine, she should not exceed her duty."

Daiyu didn't want to say such thin words, but seeing that Sun Li pressed her every step of the way, she was really annoyed.Shui Rong is her husband, so it's up to them to come up with some tricks, don't pretend that she doesn't know, Grand Concubine Nan'an's mother-in-law and her have already colluded with her today, but she didn't expect the Queen Mother to make such a move.

The food, grass and money for the water show have been cut off, but I don't see him doing anything, but this Sun Li is showing sharpness everywhere, which seems to be a bit of a dog jumping over the wall. Concubine Li and Nan'an Princess are inextricably linked, and Nan'an Princess is Sun Li My cousin, of course, was angry one after another, but she forgot, if there is no promise from Shui Chen, what if they are so scheming?

Sure enough, Sun Li's expression changed drastically, Huo stood up, and glared at Daiyu for a long while, only to see Daiyu sitting there calmly, her anger becoming more and more uncontrollable.

"Princess Concubine, this is a family banquet hosted by Ai's family. How do you treat it?" The queen mother's indifferent words came from behind, causing Sun Li to tremble in a cold war, and she hurriedly turned around and knelt down and said, "Please, grandma, queen mother!" Forgive me. Princess Beijing seems to have spoken too much, and the daughter-in-law is just feeling aggrieved and sad."

The Queen Mother glanced at her indifferently, and said, "What's wrong with you?"

Sun Li pretended to pick up the embroidered handkerchief and wiped the corners of her eyes, but she didn't see the Empress Dowager's increasingly cold and bored eyes, she just lowered her head and said, "The Empress Dowager's grandmother clearly checked that although Princess Beijing is a royal family, she is only a royal family after all." , not the eldest brother and concubine of the granddaughter-in-law, the granddaughter-in-law is really wronged in such a public lecture. What's more, the original intention of the granddaughter-in-law is to share the worries and labors of the queen mother and grandmother."

The teacup was placed on the small table beside her with a "clang" sound, and Sun Li was startled, only to hear the empress dowager say indifferently: "The Ai family has already said that Yu'er is the granddaughter of the Ai family. , is Princess Yundai of the Celestial Dynasty. As a princess of the current dynasty, if it comes to folk discourse, she is your sister-in-law. Could it be that marrying into the royal family throws away the three obediences and four virtues of women?"

"My daughter-in-law dare not!"

"It's fine if you don't dare, the Ai family still thinks you have entered the royal family, and discarded all the rules and etiquette that your daughter has learned." He looked at her and said, "Forget it, you go back to your seat and take care of yourself." Think about what your younger sister Yun Dai said, whether you should say it, should you do it, you should take your heart away, and take away the thoughts you shouldn't have."

She lowered her head with a shudder in her heart, gritted her teeth and said bitterly: "Li'er must follow the teachings of the queen mother and grandmother."

Princess Yanling's faint smile overflowed her lips, she looked at the queen mother and said with a smile: "The few gifts I brought from the snow mountain this time are the most sacred objects for recuperation, please accept them with a smile." Clapping, four exquisite girls in foreign costumes came from the door, each holding a tray covered in red silk and satin.

Princess Yanling stepped forward to uncover the things one by one, and saw that the first one was a thousand-year-old snow lotus in the snow mountain, with three layers of snow-white petals like jade, each layer seemed to be filled with ice and snow, tender and clear, like a circle A seemingly non-existent halo surrounds it, and the cold breath scattered around it rushes into the heart. The fresh breath makes people feel shocked, as if it drifts away the stagnant breath in the body.

"This gift is too precious." The thousand-year-old snow lotus grows under the snow-capped mountains and icy valleys. snowdrops.

Princess Yanling smiled lightly, then opened another tray, and said with a faint smile: "This pair of ice cicada silk armor is the national treasure of our Lie Yu Kingdom. It is taken from the ice cicada silk in the cave on the top of the ice mountain. Ten pieces Ice cicada silk has just been twisted into a thread, making this piece of ice cicada silk armor will consume the ice cicada silk on the top of the iceberg."

The people below had already exclaimed, and they couldn't help but stood up and looked at the two sacred objects that seemed to be hard to find in the world, and there were endless voices of praise. Daiyu looked at Princess Yanling with a faint smile on her lips, but she saw that Princess Yanling also glanced at her in the same way, looked at each other, smiled slightly, and stepped forward to uncover the third red silk.

The light, the dazzling light shrouded the surroundings, covering Princess Yanling standing in front of her like a goddess of the snow mountain, her jade white hand lightly raised, holding the white jade doll in her hand, the light was soft, quiet and beautiful for a moment, faint and shallow He said with a smile: "This jade doll will be able to disperse its own spiritual energy into the master's body when it is by its side all year round. It is not an exaggeration to prolong life."

The Queen Mother nodded with a smile, and sighed: "It's hard to be the same mind as the Lord Canglang and Princess Yanling. It's just that it's too precious."

That Yanling shook his head, and said with a smile: "Although the items are valuable, they are far less than the friendship between our two countries. The Empress Dowager is too self-effacing." As she spoke, she walked forward and opened the last tray, on which What was placed was a bland translucent green fruit. There seemed to be green waves flowing in the round and transparent. After looking at it for a long time, even the eyes became quiet.

Princess Yanling turned her gaze to Daiyu and said, "I don't know if Princess Beijing recognizes this fruit?"

Everyone looked at Daiyu's face in unison, Daiyu stood up gracefully, glanced at the fruit, pondered for a moment, and smiled slightly: "Could it be the ice cicada fruit in the rumors?"

Princess Yanling looked at Daiyu with a bit of surprise, then nodded again and praised: "Princess Beijing really knows everything, and Yanling really admires it." As she said that, she looked at everyone with a lingling gaze, and said: " This is indeed the ice cicada fruit, and it is the best convalescent product for those who are born with deficiencies."

After listening to Princess Yanling's words, the Empress Dowager looked thoughtful, got up and asked Mother De to take it, and said: "Give the magnificence of the Aijia Palace to Princess Yanling."

The magnificence was originally a complete set of phoenix hairpin bracelets, earrings, rings, precious robes studded with precious stones and turquoise. Each piece is a whole piece, made according to the original shape with a little bit of pondering, so it is precious.

The four maidservants behind received the grandeur sent by Mother De's order, looked at the grandeur in amazement, bowed hurriedly, and then retreated one by one.

Princess Yanling leaned over and said: "On behalf of the entire Lie Yu Kingdom, I would like to thank the Empress Dowager for her great love. Such kindness can show the glory of the sun and the moon. The Lie Yu Kingdom and the Celestial Dynasty will always be in good alliance, and we will work together for the economic prosperity of the two countries."

It is surprising that such a promise comes from a woman's mouth. Although she is a princess, she is not allowed to take charge of Lie Yu's state affairs. How could she say such words?

But Sun Li looked at Princess Yanling with a smile on her face, and looked at Daiyu cold as a knife in a blink of an eye. She naturally knew Princess Yanling's affection for Shui Rong, not to mention that she was in charge of the entire Lie Yu Half the monarch of the country, it is hard for the queen mother to refuse such a heavy gift when it comes.Then he sat quietly at the side with a sneer and no longer stupidly stepped forward to say anything, like a poisonous insect ready to go, scanning everyone with cold and poisonous eyes.

With a faint smile, Princess Yanling glanced at Daiyu with a faint smile, then looked at the queen mother and knelt down and said, "If Lieyu Kingdom and Tianchao become the best of Qin and Jin, wouldn't it be the icing on the cake, and the whole world will celebrate it together." Happy?"

The Empress Dowager examined Princess Yanling for a long while, and said, "Of course it's good."

"I don't know who Princess Yanling is interested in?" Sun Li asked impatiently, as if trying to create conflicts between her and Daiyu.

Yan Ling glanced at Sun Li lightly, with a seemingly indifferent coldness, and said: "The eldest princess asked a bit too much, although Yan Ling has been running around with Brother Wang since childhood, but also Understand the etiquette of boudoir women."

Sun Li lost face twice in one day, and became more and more confuse, but because of Yanling's identity, she couldn't say anything, so she gritted her teeth secretly, and said with a smile: "It's mine, it's because I saw the princess loves it. , can’t help but talk too much.”

"Prince Lao is concerned, thank you!" An embarrassing and indifferent atmosphere emerged in the entire hall until the end of the entire small banquet.

Chunxian helped Daiyu out of the Palace of Compassion and Peace. The cool breath of ice and snow outside the palace made Daiyu take a deep breath, tightened the lapel of the crane cloak, and said with a tired look on her face, "Let's go back to the mansion. It's getting colder, and it's getting worse."

Just now Chunxian helped Daiyu down the steps, but saw that Shui Rong was already striding forward, and he stepped forward to hold Daiyu's little hand. The cold touch made him frown slightly. Alright, he put the corner of the cloak around her slender hand again, lowered his eyebrows and smiled slightly: "How are you doing today?"

Daiyu shook her head, her watery eyes were facing the night and white snow, like a snow elf, and said with a faint smile: "It's just what I expected, but there are still some unexpected surprises after all."

"The prince of Beijing and the concubine of Beijing have a very elegant temperament." A calm voice came from behind, Shui Rong wrapped Daiyu's body and turned around together, and said lightly: "Princess Yanling hasn't returned to the hotel yet? I'm afraid of the wolf Your Majesty has been waiting impatiently."

Yanling smiled lightly, looked at Shui Rong and said, "Why is the prince so polite? Didn't we know each other a long time ago? If we pretend we don't know each other, isn't it a bit of a cover-up?" He looked at Daiyu and said with a smile: " Thinking about it, Princess Beijing is also an open-minded woman, so she definitely doesn't care about these things."

Sun Li, who came from behind, saw the appearance of the three of them, and heard that Yan Ling seemed to be provocative, so she stepped forward and took Yan Ling's arm and smiled: "The prince of Beijing and the princess of Beijing are deeply in love, I'm really envious. It's getting late, why don't I send Princess Yanling back to the hotel?"

With a wave of her hand, Princess Yanling gathered her cloak and smiled and replied: "Don't bother the eldest princess, the residence is not far from here, not to mention that I have maids and guards to escort me, the eldest princess should go back first, let's go our separate ways. Yes, no need to disturb the affection of Prince Beijing and his wife."

For Yan Ling's words, Shui Rong only smiled lightly when he heard it, and ignored it, so he supported Dai Yu's little hand and walked on the bluestone road, whispering from the wind: "Is it still cold?"

Standing on the steps, Yan Ling looked at Shui Rong and Dai Yu's leaving backs faintly. The gentle red and handsome stone blue surrounded them, as if no one could get in their way anymore, so she smiled slightly , and turned to say goodbye to Sun Li.

"Prince Beijing is an extremely rare good man. You can't find such a person even if you hold a lantern." Youyou's words came from behind, and Yanling only smiled lightly: "It's cold in the night, the eldest prince and concubine Let's go back early and rest."

The warm room made Daiyu's slightly frozen face recover, she patted Yuyan, turned around and said, "Brother Rong knows Princess Yanling?"

Hearing Daiyu's indifferent question, Shui Rong hurriedly turned around, but saw that Daiyu's cold eyes were somewhat dissatisfied, so he hurriedly put his arms around Daiyu and leaned in his arms, and said softly: "Dai'er jealous?"

Daiyu's face flushed red, she pushed Shui Rong's face that bowed her head and stole a kiss, and said with a cold face, "Say, how do you know Princess Yanling?"

Seeing Daiyu's increasingly unhappy face, Shui Rong thought for a while, helped Daiyu to sit down, and said: "The most important thing in the pills that Dai'er is using now is ice water from Lieyu Kingdom. When I went to Lieyu Kingdom, I met Princess Yanling and Lord Canglang."

Daiyu heard that the creases between her brows eased slightly, and Fu'er had a mischievous smile on her lips, and said: "I see that Princess Yanling may not have other thoughts, her heart is much wider than that of ordinary women. Isn't it?"

Shui Rong shook his head, and said calmly: "I don't know what kind of person she is, and I don't want to know. I just know that if she doesn't have other thoughts, it will be for the benefit of both countries."

The casual words concealed murderous intentions, Daiyu lowered her eyes and pondered for a while, then snuggled into Shui Rong's arms, and said with some displeasure: "Today, the eldest princess is getting a little too old."

"The dog jumps over the wall in a hurry, what else is there? What she is thinking about is the position of the queen, so now the water show is not in a hurry, but it is her turn to be anxious. Maybe we can use this to kill her very quickly. This is what the Crown Princess has in mind now."

Daiyu thought about it for a while, then smiled again: "That's not it, Sister Sang is thinking the same thing now, there is no need to do anything, as long as you wait calmly, the eldest princess will naturally not be able to sit still, I said Why is Sister Sang silent now, I'm afraid she has already made up her mind."

There was a hint of coquettishness and coldness in the sharp eyes, and he held a small magnolia in his hand, and said coldly: "The person who keeps silent is the most terrifying, thinking about using others as pawns in his heart." , Do you really think that you are a wise man who controls the common people?"

Daiyu held her big water-melting hand, she was silent for a long while, yes, Sang Qingyan is no longer the Sang Qingyan of the past, she has already become unrecognizable after entering the court.

It would be a lie to say she wasn't using them, and anyone could see that.

It seemed that the heavy snow covered everything in the world overnight, and everything had to be reconsidered. The cold air in Fengzao Palace was shrouded in a hint of blood.

The imperial physician who shuttled back and forth managed to stabilize Yuan Chun's fetal position, and was preparing the anti-abortion medicine at the side, while Concubine Li and Concubine Mei stood aside, with anxious expressions on their faces.
