Dream of the Red Chamber: Rong Dai

"It's the first month of the month, and it's still so cold. The concubine needs to wear thicker clothes." Daiyu, who had just woken up, frowned at the rambling words, raised her arms childishly, and said sleepily. : "Where did the little sparrow come from to disturb people's dreams, and it is a merit to beat it out quickly."

When Xueyan heard this, her eyes widened, she stepped forward and rolled up the beaded curtain, lightly helped Daiyu up, and said angrily: "The princess still said so, the princess is looking forward to it outside and doesn't know what to wait for." How long has it been?"

Daiyu covered her mouth with her hands and yawned, looked at the overly white sky outside the window, and muttered, "What time is it now? Why is it so bright outside?"

Chunxian walked in from the outside with a smile, holding the brocade robe and cotton skirt that Daiyu was going to wear in her hand, looked at the sky and said with a smile: "It's time now, if the princess stays lazy on the bed, the princess will come in Pull up the princess."

As soon as Chunxian finished speaking, she heard Wanyu chattering outside: "Sister-in-law, are you up yet?"

Daiyu laughed coquettishly, and ignored Shui Wanyu, she only slowly supported Chunxian and Xueyan out of bed, and looked out the window, only to see flying snow all over the ground, crystal clear and white, and silky branches on the branches Like a crystal finely carved and decorated with hanging ribbons, "It's snowing again."

"That's right, it's snowing more and more in the first month of this year, and the plum blossoms outside are budding again."

Hulala the beaded curtain was lifted up, Daiyu was a little amused by Shui Wanyu's poking her head, she stepped forward and sat down holding her little hand, and said, "I thought you'd stay outside since I didn't let you in. When were the rules established?"

Shui Wanyu glanced at Daiyu with resentment and said: "It's a good thing you still said, if it wasn't for the vinegar bucket in your house, I wouldn't let me bother you, would I have to wait outside waiting for your summons?" ?”

Daiyu let out a surprise, looked at Chunxian and Xueyan at the side, caught a glimpse of their eyes drooping in guilt, and smiled lightly: "That's all, it's my fault, I'm going to punish me today, please be my boss." How about eating in this courtyard?"

"Feast?" Her eyes lit up suddenly, she nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay." Counting with her fingers one by one, she said greedily: "Sweet and sour carp made by Chunxian, braised pork ribs , steamed grass carp, cabbage tofu, braised eggplant. There are so many, I can’t even count them.”

Chunxian lowered her head and pursed her lips with a chuckle, and said: "Fortunately, the princess still remembers, these few dishes of mine are just extremely simple dishes."

Shaking her fingers, she shook her head and said: "That's not true. Who said that simple dishes can't have outstanding ones? The simpler the name of this dish, the better the taste, right? Just from Chunxian Among these few dishes of my sister, I believe this sentence."

He got up and held Chunxian's hand, and while pulling her aside, he whispered: "My good sister, tell me quickly, what delicious dishes are there today, I can't wait."

Daiyu put down the ginseng soup in her hand, and said with a smile: "Chunxian, you are not allowed to tell the princess today, just to keep her appetite. I want to see if this greedy cat will drool."

Shui Wanyu suddenly turned around when she heard this, looked at Daiyu with round eyes and said angrily: "Sister-in-law, you are good or bad, it's fine if you don't tell me yourself, but you don't want Sister Chunxian to tell me. Hmph, your belly Little nephews and nieces will let you train them into ghost spirits."

Daiyu pulled Shui Wanyu to sit on the bed, and said, "Jiang Lianyu is the guest we are going to entertain today."

Daiyu bit the word 'Jiang Lianyu' very hard, Shui Wanyu was stunned for a moment, but then she lowered her head and drank tea to slightly cover the bitterness in her eyes, and said with a faint smile: "Mr. Jiang is here. Brother Wang and sister-in-law will entertain you."

"Wan Yu, now father, mother, concubine, your brother, and I all agree with what you think in your heart. Just asking for an imperial decree from the emperor is enough for you to get married. Why do you choose to accept it now despite the pain in your heart? "

Shui Rong managed to convince Prince Jing and his wife with great difficulty that day, but she didn't want Shui Wanyu to stop the marriage in person on the eve of the imperial decree later. Daiyu saw her worries and was also anxious in the center of her eyes. She knew Shui Wanyu He has never forgotten his love for Jiang Lianyu, and he would rather suffer by himself than be dissolved in water to seek the imperial decree.

Shui Wanyu smiled faintly, lowered her eyebrows and said softly: "Now the elder brother of the eldest prince has long since fallen, and his ascension to the throne is just around the corner. How can our Beijing Palace be so big and eye-catching?"

Daiyu shook her head slightly, stopped Shui Wanyu's words, and said lightly: "You should understand your father, queen, mother and concubine, and your own brother and sister-in-law. You also know what kind of people we are. Fame, wealth and honor It was never what we thought, what you said was just an excuse, if it is true that the emperor agreed to your marriage, it would be a good thing for our family to wear crowns and retire to the mountains."

Shui Wanyu raised her eyes and stared at Daiyu's water eyes for a long while, before she sighed and said, "I know what my sister-in-law wants to say." She got up and walked to the window to look at the white snow outside, her voice fluttered like a dead branch shaking in winter Bai Xue, fluttering and cold, "I am the princess of the royal family. The emperor originally wanted to betroth me to the Canglang Lord of Lie Yu Kingdom, but he only gave up because the Canglang Lord himself liked Princess Jingning. There will be a next Lie Yu Kingdom, right?"

Daiyu nodded and shook her head again, walked to Shui Wanyu's side while holding her waist, and said, "This is just the most insignificant thing I worry about. If you don't want to, the father, mother, concubine, and queen mother are in charge, so of course you won't." Will betroth you, and I'm talking about your heart."

"I can somewhat understand your concerns and thoughts. You want to say that even if the emperor bestows a marriage, you are just marrying him, but you can't get his heart, right?" Some sharp and straightforward words Shui Wanyu was a little overwhelmed, her face turned white instantly, and she nodded after a long while.

Dai Yusu folded a frangipani flower in the vase, put it on the side of Shui Wanyu's temples, and said softly: "My sister knows that 'the flower branches can be broken straight, don't wait for the flowers to be empty and sad'. My sister knows that Mr. Jiang Unintentional?"

The paleness at the corner of Shui Wanyu's mouth became more and more obvious, and he said, "Sister-in-law, do you still remember the three days when I disappeared in Jiangnan?" Daiyu nodded, but seeing that Shui Wanyu didn't turn around, she still said: "At that time, I already knew clearly I expressed my intentions, but he didn't say a word, I was entangled to the end, and he only said one sentence, "Birth is not at the right time, the debts of marriage in the past life have not been cleared up, and I have no intention of provoking love in this life."

After hearing these words, Daiyu just shook her head, with a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, and cold waves in her faint eyes, as cold and clear as the cold moon in the sky, "What do you say about the evil debts of marriage in the previous life, if there is no chance to come here in the previous life?" After sorting it out, why do you need to worry about it in this life? When I first met your brother Wang, I didn't take him seriously, but it depends on human effort. If you get along for a long time, maybe you will be the most suitable pair."

"Dai'er, Mr. Jiang and Miss Jin are here." Shui Rong, who was standing behind him at some point, said softly.

After hearing this, Shui Wanyu turned around and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, sister-in-law and brother Wang can go, I'll go back to my room first." The back of her walking away made Daiyu sigh more deeply.

Shui Rong put his arms around Daiyu's shoulders and leaned in his arms, and said with a light smile, "You are worrying again, Wanyu is no longer a child, she knows how to deal with things."

Daiyu raised her eyes and cast a sideways glance at Shui Rong, then thumped his chest with her slender hands, and said angrily, "You, brother Wang, are not worried at all. Although Sister Wanyu is not a child, there are things she seems It's a heavy burden, and I can't take it off at all. The concubine mother asked me to enlighten her, although I don't have any eloquence, but I can make her feel more comfortable when speaking out."

Shui Rong looked at Wan Yu's leaving figure and quietly shook his head.He knew that Jiang Lianyu's heart was on Daiyu, and this marriage was the beginning of a torment. At the beginning, he and Daiyu's efforts to stop her did not make Shui Wanyu forget her, but now the deep-rooted love is even more difficult to extricate herself.

"I never knew that Wan Yu would be so awkward. Love infatuation is admirable, admirable, and ridiculous."

Daiyu looked at Shui Rong with a funny face and shook her head, said: "So you are not as good as sister Wanyu? If you are not allowed to find me that day, will you forget about it?"

Daiyu put her little hand on her chest, shook her head, and said: "If I still can't find you that day, even if I search the whole heaven, I will find you, no matter where you end up, no matter who you marry, I will definitely snatch you back."

Gently covering Daiyu's small mouth that was about to open, her water-melting hot eyes were full of domineering: "If you marry someone else, I should bless you. I must never say this unless I die. Otherwise, the world will No one is fit to stand by your side except me.

Daiyu wanted to say something, but the words on her lips finally turned into a soft sigh, hiding the tears in her eyes, then wrapped her hands around Shui Rong's waist, and sighed quietly: "If I am not by your side, who else can I be by your side?" ? Except you, a domineering and unreasonable person, who can occupy people's hearts as arrogantly as you do."

Shui Rong hugged Daiyu tightly and leaned against her bosom. After a while, she took the embroidered handkerchief in Daiyu's hand and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. Your little girl has nothing to lose, doesn't she?" Then she said, "Don't worry, if Wan Yu understands it, then naturally there will be no problem."

Walking into Qiuchi Pavilion, there were already two people waiting there, seeing Shui Rong Daiyu thanking each other, the two sitting there hurriedly got up and smiled: "Prince Beijing, Princess Beijing."

Daiyu snuggled quietly beside Shui Rong, holding Shui Rong's arms with a pair of bright wrists, and nodded with a smile, then sat down on the seat on the right.

Jiang Lianyu looked at the increasingly beautiful Daiyu in a daze, the soft and elegant light all over her body seemed to make people settle their minds and indulge in it for a long time.

Jin Liying tugged at Jiang Lianyu's sleeve, and seeing Jiang Lianyu come back to her senses, she smiled lightly and said, "It's rare to come to Beijing today, Prince Yaxing of Beijing invited our brother and sister to have a chat in the mansion."

Shui Rong looked at the tea that was being boiled on the stove, and the maid next to him unfolded the tea-making tools one by one, poured a cup of warm water with her own hands, and Daiyu just smiled and said, "I don't have any serious problems, but the prince is not at ease with some things. , and it is inconvenient to go out of the palace, so I have to let me pass the message, anyway, I am just doing nothing after all."

Jin Liying looked at Shui Rong's proficiency in pouring water for Daiyu, she smiled faintly, with a little envy in her eyes, and said: "Prince Beijing is having a good time with nothing to do."

Jiang Lianyu's eyes dimmed suddenly, and she saw Jin Liying tugging at her sleeves, she just lowered her head and smiled and said: "Yes, a happy life is what I want all my life, but it's a pity, if you miss it, it will be too late .”

"It's not too late. The grass in the world is not a single branch. It has been wrong in the past life and there is no hope for the future life. Why carry it in your arms? Since it is not yours, it is destined not to be yours. Don't miss the people around you."

Jiang Lianyu's hand holding the white porcelain teacup trembled undetectably, Daiyu could see it clearly, and Shui Rong and Jin Liying could also be seen clearly, Guanyu's face turned paler and bluer, "Princess is so Thought?"

Daiyu nodded, with a cold moon on the corner of her eyes and lips, "Since there is no fate in the previous life, and this life will pass, why should I force myself? I should cherish the blessings in this life, know how to let go of the past, and know how to grasp the fleeting Only a happy person can be called a gentleman in the world of mortals. Stubborn infatuation is not worthy of praise, let alone sympathy."

Daiyu's stern words made Jiang Lianyu's heart completely disheartened, and the cold moon seemed to be immersed in his heart. After a long silence, he said lightly: "I never seek good results, only for my heart."

"Whether the heart is good, sympathy, or pity, it's just empty words after all. Could it be possible to influence the lives of future generations? Just because of one person, two people will always be in suffering and pain?" Daiyu's words have pointed out so far , why doesn't Jiang Lianyu understand?

The tightly clenched palms suddenly tightened, and the pale face suddenly turned around, looking at Jin Liying and Shui Rong, and said: "The Queen has received news from Dongying. From tomorrow, the whole Dongying will be under Murong Chengbo's world. The owner of Chengyang County is a queen, if the owner of Chengyang County really has no selfish intentions with the court, then Dongying has already settled down, and there is no need for the crown prince and prince to worry about it."

Shui Rong raised his eyes to look at the changed topic, and smiled at Daiyu in the blink of an eye, before saying: "I have already obtained the letter from the eldest prince colluding with Dongying, Mr. Jiang and Wang Shoucheng have contributed a lot this time."

"It was the lord who let him live that day, and it can be regarded as giving him a chance to change his past." Deliberately ignoring the deep meaning of Shui Rong's words, Jiang Lianyu thought for a while and said: "As for the eldest prince, I think he has already come to the prince's place." Now that we have enough evidence, we only need to look at what the prince wants."

Jin Liying has been sitting by the side silently, at this moment she just smiled and said: "Dongying wanted to save his daughter's country, but he made a wrong calculation. I have already withheld my eldest grandson Wuyong, and I will treat it as a share for Murong Chengbo tomorrow." Give it a generous gift."

Shui Rong looked at Jin Liying and Jiang Lianyu and said, "Changsun Wuyong's concubine Li Shi, have you ever caught it?"

Jiang Lianyu tightened her eyebrows, Feng and Jin Liying looked at each other and shook their heads, "Eldest grandson Wuyong and his concubine Ji are all there, but the one who married from the Celestial Dynasty is not here."

Shui Rong nodded, and the flickering cold light in her lowered eyes made Daiyu feel a little bad, and suddenly remembered the poison bird sachet and said lightly: "Dare to ask the queen, a big red poisonous poison The bird sachet is filled with dark green spices, an extremely weird aroma, does the unknown queen know what it is?"

"What?" Jin Liying suddenly stood up from her seat in surprise, and said, "Princess, have you ever seen that poisonous bird sachet? Have you ever smelled that dark green spice?"

Seeing Jin Liying's frightened face, Daiyu's face turned pale for a moment, but in the blink of an eye she shook her head and said, "But is there anything wrong with this thing?"

Jin Liying looked at Shui Rong and Daiyu with frowned eyebrows, and said: "The poisonous bird is the most poisonous thing, but Dongying is located in the southeast by the sea, where people always live with poisonous snakes, and the poisonous bird's favorite food Even poisonous snakes have eradicated many harmful poisonous snakes for the people there, so the people there regard the poisonous bird as a divine bird."

"Most of the poisonous birds are purple, only the abdomen and wings are green. The darker the dark green, the more poisonous it is. If those wings are soaked in water and touch a little bit, they will die from the poison. If you go in, your flesh will rot and your bones will rot."

"Clang" the teacup in Daiyu's hand fell to the ground, splashing water all over the floor, Shui Rong hurriedly stepped forward to hold Daiyu's little hand and stared at her too pale face, said in a deep voice: "Dai'er, what's wrong? Did you hurt? "

The eager words brought Daiyu back to her senses, her wonderful eyes only looked at Shui Rong, shook her head, forced a smile and said, "It's nothing, I'm just a little shocked when I hear the queen say it." She looked at Shui Rong and held him worried. With slightly trembling hands, he said softly: "Brother Rong, don't worry, I have never taken the Zhenniao sachet, and Chunxian has already been handed over to Yanhong. As for the dark green powder, Yanhong didn't know what it was before I told you. mine."

At this moment, Shui Rong really felt relieved, closed his eyes, ignored other people's presence, hugged Daiyu tightly in his arms, looked at Jiang Lianyu and Jin Liying with eyes as cold as eagles, and said: "How about you?" Please Mr. Jiang and the queen do Shui Rong a favor."

Jiang Lianyu clenched her fists tightly, and said coldly: "Prince Beijing, don't worry, if the Li family is really among the people, I will definitely capture her and hand her over to you and the princess to deal with. However, Concubine Li And Jinxianghou's Mansion, the First Prince's Mansion may be her hiding place."

"If it's really here, then the king will definitely smash her into thousands of pieces." The raging anger dyed her eyes red, and Shui Rong looked at Jin Liying and said: "The queen should not stay in the celestial court for too long. Now that the overall situation has been decided, measure No matter how difficult it is for them to stir up any disturbances. The Queen's great kindness to Shui Rong, Shui Rong will never forget."

Jin Liying looked at Shui Rong and said, "I helped you only because you saved my life and brought that traitor Jin Muna to justice. I owe you both public and private."

Shui Rong waved his hand and said, "From now on, the queen will no longer owe me any favors. It's getting late today, so I invite the two of you to stay in the mansion temporarily for a night."

Jin Liying looked at Jiang Lianyu's pensive eyes with tender eyes, looked at the back of Shui Rong Daiyu who was carrying her away, and said lightly: "I know you have a person in your heart all the time, she is so noble, so beautiful. She is so beautiful and refined, and her literary talent is so extraordinary, I don’t blame you for not forgetting her, the matter in the Central Plains has been dealt with, can you follow me back to the country of daughters?”

Jiang Lianyu looked down at the green tea in his hand, took a sip, and said after a long time: "Although Daughter Country is my savior, I am grateful in my heart, I am not a heartless person for your love for me , but it must not be allowed."

Jin Liying shook her head helplessly and said: "Now I can see the persistence of you Central Plains men. However, Princess Bei Jing has already said that too much persistence may not be good, why don't you take this opportunity to let go and accept a new life Wouldn't it be better?"

Jiang Lianyu turned around and looked at Jin Liying with a faint smile and said, "Your daughter's country is respected by women. I can't adapt to your country's system, and I can't walk hand in hand with you."

"If it's me." Jin Liying's anxious words were interrupted by Jiang Lianyu, and said: "It's not a question of whether to change or not, but that we belong to each other. We can be brothers and sisters for a lifetime, but we can't be friends again. into other relationships."

Jin Liying lowered her head in frustration, and said with a faint smile, "I think the owner of this sachet is the reason you want to let go in the future?"

When Daiyu left just now, she dropped a sachet, a brand new purple purse embroidered with twigs and twigs. Although the delicate stitches were crooked, it was enough to see the seriousness of the owner, and her eyes became more and more sour.

Jiang Lianyu looked at the sachet in his hand complicatedly, tried to throw it away on the table again and again, but finally put it away with a sigh, looked at Jin Liying and said, "Maybe." Standing up Wanting to walk out of the Qiuchi Pavilion, Jin Liying sighed quietly behind her: "Forget it, forget it, I won't mention this in the future, so you can rest assured. Without you, most of our daughters are men who are willing to enter the palace." Accompany me, it's really good for us to be brothers and sisters for a lifetime."

The candle was burning high like beans, Daiyu rubbed her eyes and woke up, seeing that the bed beside her was still cold, she knew that Shui Rong hadn't gone back to her room to rest, so she got up and put on her clothes without disturbing Chunxian and the others, she moved lightly to the study.

The bright lights in the study came out through the green gauze cabinet. Hearing the sound of footsteps, Shui Rong, who was originally in deep thought, looked up and saw that it was Daiyu. He hurried forward and put the cloak in his hand on Daiyu's shoulders, and said in a low voice: "Why did Dale wake up?"

Daiyu saw the chilling expression on his face, waved her hands and said, "I see you haven't rested so late, come out and have a look."

Shui Rong helped Daiyu go to the couch and sat down, covered her thin body with a fox fur cloak, and just now embraced her, not letting the air-conditioning on her body cool her down, and said indifferently: "I don't want the fight between the crown prince and the eldest prince, Now that it has poisoned you, I will give them this account in a hurry, this year they will never have the leisure of spring again."

Daiyu held Shui Rong's big hand and said softly: "I understand your thoughts, but you should make sure everything is safe." Shui Rong nodded and said: "Don't worry, I have already made arrangements. gone."

Daiyu nodded, her cold heart had long since lost the slightest emotion, and the current insanity made her feel even colder. What kind of vicious tiger and leopard nature would put her to death and never recover?
