Daoist Lin sister [Red House]

It was the time when the night was dark and the wind was high, and there was silence in the paddock, with no sound at all.The bright moon is still hanging in the sky, and the light and dark overlap in the forest.

Yongyu was in military uniform, holding a bow and arrow, sitting high on the horse, quietly leading the officers and soldiers to encircle, and the soldiers divided into four groups, and began to encircle.

In the quiet woods, most of the birds and beasts are still sleeping, only a few hardworking people are silently looking for food while taking advantage of the night.

A few wary beasts are keenly aware of abnormalities in the surrounding air, with their ears pricked up, their bodies lowered, their eyeballs flickering in the night, and they are ready to escape at any time.

Suddenly a whistle sounded, piercing the sky.Yongyu stood up on the steed, bent his bow and set an arrow, and shot an arrow towards the sky. The tail feathers of the arrow pierced the air, and made a sharp whistle, which shocked countless birds in the forest.Yongyu lowered his right hand heavily, clamped his legs into the horse's belly, and the horse raced with arrows, leading the horse and galloping with hooves raised.

Tens of thousands of horses are galloping in unison behind them, surrounding them like tides and evening clouds.The sound of hooves was like thunder, the vegetation and wild animals in the forest trembled and frightened, the leaves rustled wildly, and the birds and animals ran wildly.

The line starts.

…………

Looking inside the city, except for the guards patrolling back and forth, the crowd in the tent is still sleeping.

In Daiyu's tent, there were rustling sounds from time to time, as if someone could not sleep at night, tossing and turning.

Finally, dawn broke in the east.

The morning dew jumps on the leaves in the forest, and the frightened flowers, birds and animals that have spent the night are also bewitched by this short-lived tranquility, and they come out one after another, singing happily, insects and birds singing one after another.

Daiyu, who had a good night's dream, was awakened by the orderly and busy footsteps outside the tent, and opened her sleepy eyes.

"Sister Lin is awake?" Xiang Yun was doing her makeup in front of the mirror. She had used a lot of face powder but still couldn't hide the two startling shadows under her eyes.

Daiyu pretended not to see, and greeted Xiangyun with a smile.Zijuan cleansed her face and washed her face, Xueyan helped her get dressed, it was the same riding outfit she tried on last night.When she was dressed, Daiyu looked at herself in the mirror and couldn't help pursing her lips and chuckling.

Xiangyun saw it from behind, and felt that Daiyu's beauty was different from what he saw last night, her spirit was so high, her spirit so natural...Compared with her haggard and worried self in the mirror, she was just like cloud mud.

It's strange that Brother Ai likes Sister Lin so much!Xiangyun thought to himself.

"Girl, the Princess got up early. Look at the excitement today. The holy car will arrive in a blink of an eye, and the surrounding area has been completed, waiting for the holy majesty to bow!" Zijuan said softly.

"Oh? Did the footsteps just now come from Buwei?" Daiyu asked curiously.

Zijuan nodded.

Daiyu Fen clenched her fists and beat her forehead angrily, "Ah, why didn't you wake me up earlier! I still want to see the Buwei scene!"

Zijuan and Xueyan looked at each other, smiled lowly, thinking in their hearts, perhaps what Daiyu wanted to see was the heroic figure of Yongyu leading the army!

"Sister Lin, isn't she afraid of frightening the young birds and beasts?" Xiang Yun still asked.Yi Daiyu has a temperament of sorrow for spring and autumn, how can she watch the cubs being hunted and killed?

No one knows, the hunting is brutal, my prey is his father and brother.

Daiyu was confused by the question, and asked back: "When did Sister Yun start to fast?"

Xiangyun was speechless for a moment.

"Since ancient times, the weak have been preying on the strong. The beasts in the forest also eat each other, the big ones eat the small ones, the smart ones eat the stupid ones... There are also those ferocious beasts that are only enclosed by this paddock. If you let them in If you go to a market town, you might even eat people. Sister Yun is getting more and more confused now as she grows up." Daiyu said casually.

"Why do you become a pedant in the daytime?" Ying Miaoyang came in from the outside, just when she heard Daiyu's words, she couldn't help joking.

Daiyu's face was slightly red, she wanted to mention Xiangyun, but she felt that she had done it quite quietly, she never thought that she could not escape Ying Miaoyang's eyes at all.

Xiangyun was still in a daze, feeling more and more that sister Lin in front of her looked like she had never known her before.Broad and easy to divide, open and upright, not sad because of the time or happy with things, as if man and nature are one, come and go freely and calmly.

Looking at Daiyu's demeanor, demeanor, don't say that she is not as good as she is, even the sister Bao who is the standard in her heart, how can there be any room for competition?

Daiyu stepped forward to salute Ying Miaoyang and said, "It's all because Yu'er sleeps too much, I'm sorry to bother the princess to come!"

"It's only three steps away, but it's worth your apology." Ying Miaoyang gave Daiyu a reproachful look, took her hand, looked her up and down, nodded her head, and said, "Our family will take away the charm of the paddock today." .Since the two of you have dressed properly, follow me to the front to meet you."

Said, one in each hand, held the two of them and walked out.

When Daiyu and others arrived, the two sides of the gate of the paddock were already full of people on the inner and outer third floors.

The gate of the paddock was opened, and the two sides were lined up with tall and majestic soldiers with helmets and armor.In the distance, the bright yellow canopy came meanderingly.

Yongyu led the team on horseback and waited at the front. He saw the pioneer pawns in the distance, made eye contact with each other, got off his horse, and bowed to wait by the road.

The rest of the people, depending on their identities and ranks, either bowed to salute, knelt on both knees, or owed blessings, and so on.

The sound of singing sounded, the umbrella team passed by, and the imperial chariot came in mighty style.Daiyu was unbearably curious, hid behind Ying Miaoyang and looked up quietly, when she saw the imperial chariot passing by Yongyu, she stopped, and a slightly old hand stretched out from the curtain of the car.

"Yu'er, has the cloth enclosure been completed?" The Holy One couldn't open his mouth, the roadside was full of kneeling people, and he didn't dare to breathe.

Yongyu, however, was accustomed to it, and replied with a serious face: "Your Majesty, the fence is complete, and we only need to wait for the golden bow of the Holy Spirit to shoot first."

"Good! You are worthy of being the son of Prince Xian!" The Holy One praised.

After all, the imperial chariot will go again.

Ying Miaoyang turned around and pulled Daiyu up, and went to the viewing platform under the guidance of the guards.At that time, Xiangyun had returned to Mrs. Shihou's side.

The viewing platform is specially set up for the civil and military officials and the family members of the female family members to appreciate the hunting demeanor of the people.The highest point has the best view, and you can have a panoramic view of the paddock. It is the place where the emperor and empress are close to the clan ministers.

Everyone first went to the viewing platform to wait, and the saint changed his clothes and then shot for the first time, and the hunting officially started.

Ying Miaoyang and Daiyu were supposed to follow Lin Ruhai's official position and sit at the lower civil servant's place.But a little eunuch came with a smile on his face, saying that the empress wanted to invite Mrs. Lin and Miss Lin to sit on top.

Ying Miaoyang went back to ask Lin Daiyu for advice.Climbing up and looking far away, Daiyu, who had never seen a hunting scene, was quite curious about the scenery on the top, and nodded secretly.Ying Miaoyang naturally respected rather than obeyed orders, and under the envious eyes of all the wives and noble ladies, she walked towards the seat of honor.

As soon as the two of them reached the top, a plump lady with a smile on her lips came forward to greet her.

Ying Miaoyang is fine, we are old acquaintances, so naturally we greet her with a smile.But Daiyu was in a hurry to salute.

It's just because the person who came was Yongyu's mother Xianqin Wangfei.

Princess Xian once personally invited Daiyu to come to the mansion, but Lin Ruhai refused because of illness.Later, when Lin Ruhai got married, Prince Xian and his wife were very appreciative. Not only did the concubine become a blessing in person, but the couple also came to the door to congratulate them hand in hand.

At that time Daiyu had met Prince Xian and Princess Xian, and had a very good impression of her both times.The virtuous prince and concubine are graceful and dignified, but they are kind and amiable, and they are quite congenial with Daiyu.

And because of the "secret promise" of her precious son, the princess already regarded Daiyu as her daughter-in-law in her heart, but she hadn't made it clear yet.

"Come on, sit next to me. The empress is also here today, and she wants to see you two by name." Princess Xian said warmly while holding Daiyu's hand.

Daiyu asked: "The younger generation is so contemptuous, why is it that the empress is willing to meet you?"

Xianqin Wangfei gently scraped the daiyu powder surface with her hands, the tentacles were slippery, her jade face was like the first melting of spring snow, and the spring water was tingling, her heart almost melted, she couldn't help sighing: "It's as charming as you If it's considered contemptuous, how can I wait for my old woman to leave the house with a dead tree and fallen leaves?"

Daiyu's face was blushed by the praise of Prince Xian, and she secretly slandered: It's strange that others say that her son is Xiao's mother.Yongyu's glib appearance turned out to be like his mother!

"Ah!" Yongyu, who was accompanying the emperor outside the palace, sneezed inexplicably.

The emperor who was talking to Prince Xian in the tent couldn't help laughing and said, "Just then, I saw Yu'er's complexion, and he was full of vigor and spirit. Sure enough, the tiger father has no dogs, so it doesn't mean that my Meng family's prestige is not worthy. Why, it took only one night, and I was so angry. Are you catching a cold?"

Prince Xian held his forehead speechlessly.

Yongyu heard it from outside, and replied in a loud voice: "Grandpa Huang is ridiculous. It's just that the prey in the paddock are talking about Yu'er disturbing their dreams, but there is no movement. They talk too much, so they feel grateful."

"Ah-choo!" On the other side, Daiyu, who was called a paddock animal for no reason, had a huge itchy nose, and before she could cover her face, she sneezed so loudly that all the ladies and nobles around her raised their heads and looked up.

Daiyu was flustered, when the Empress Empress arrived, and she happened to hear her "sounding" sneeze.

The queen's phoenix eyes swept over Daiyu's face, and she couldn't help but squint her eyes slightly—it's such a beautiful appearance, no wonder she is so fascinated by such a little prince!

The crimes of dishonesty in front of the imperial court can be big or small.Although Ying Miaoyang was flamboyant and open-minded, she was by no means ignorant of etiquette, so she hurriedly dragged Daiyu to her knees to make a grand ceremony.

But she was stopped by a young female Shi who was beside the queen.

The empress waved her hands to signal everyone to flatten, and said concisely: "No courtesy. Today is hunting according to the order, and it is rare for us female family members to be free. Let's put aside the red tape and see which family can pull out this round of hunting. First place."

After finishing speaking, he beckoned Ying Miaoyang to come forward.

It was the female Shi who led the two of them to the front of the phoenix seat.

Not long after Ying Miaoyang got started, she invited a nun in the palace to teach Daiyu the etiquette of seeing a driver, so at this moment Daiyu behaved like a rite, calm and composed, without any panic.The empress sat high, looked at it coldly, and then nodded secretly, quietly making eye contact with Prince Xian and Princess Xian, tacitly understanding each other.

The empress also gave Daiyu a seat in front of her for the first time.Daiyu sat down, bowed her head with a smile, her eyes fixed on her toes, she didn't see the slightest overstep.Seeing the wives around, it became more and more difficult to hide the envy in their eyes.

After the empress, Ying Miaoyang and many wives had finished their gossip, they turned to look at Daiyu.Seeing that she was still sitting idly and calmly, except that her eyes glanced at the center of the paddock from time to time, there was no trace of panic or arrogance, and she appreciated Daiyu's temperament a little more.

Just when a female historian came up with hot tea, the queen gave Daiyu tea as well, and it was still served by the female historian.

Daiyu took the teacup from her and thanked him politely, but she never raised her eyes to look at her face.Unexpectedly, the man whispered in her ear: "Sister Lin doesn't recognize me, sister?"

Hearing the sound, Daiyu raised her head in surprise, and was facing a pair of bright autumn eyes that were very similar to Baoyu's. She looked familiar, but she didn't dare to recognize her for a while.

Seeing that Daiyu didn't recognize him, the man wanted to speak again, but when the empress looked at him, he shut his mouth in fright and retreated into the shadow behind Daiyu.

But I don't know that the movement here has attracted the attention of the empress.

The empress was at the top, and she could see Daiyu's puzzled expression. After thinking about it for a while, she wanted to understand the whole story, and waved at the female historian.

Nu Shi bowed and led the order, her gait was graceful, but her hands in her sleeves trembled uncontrollably.

Daiyu was the closest, seeing her fear and sincerity, she suddenly remembered who she was.It's just that when Daiyu saw her in her previous life, she was surrounded by stars like the moon, her palace attire was shining brightly, and her face was completely covered by makeup and hairpins.Daiyu was isolated from the crowd, so she couldn't see her face clearly.

I can only firmly remember her sigh of anger, sadness, and resentment: "Since I was sent to that place where no one could see people that day, it was so easy to go home today, my wife, instead of talking and laughing, I started crying. After a while I'm going, but I don't know how sooner or later I will come!"

The phrase "Send me to that place where I can't see people that day..." lingered in Daiyu's heart for a long time.Although she didn't tell anyone about it, she never forgot it. In the end, when Jia's mansion fell, she saw that she had nowhere to go, so she decided to go that way.

However, the person in front of him lowered his eyebrows and held his breath. He looked at the faces of others when he acted. He didn't dare to say a word, he didn't dare to do anything, and he didn't dare to make mistakes. What about the virtuous concubine Jia Yuanchun who dared to speak nonsense in front of many inner court eunuchs and maids, calling the imperial palace "a place where people should not be seen"?

No wonder Daiyu couldn't recognize her for a while.

Sure enough, the empress said on the Internet: "I forgot that Jia Nushi and Miss Lin were also aunts and sisters. Jia Nushi entered the palace early, and I think you two have never met."

Daiyu hesitated, wanting to wait for Yuanchun to reply first, but Yuanchun just bowed his head and remained silent.Daiyu was puzzled, and looked at Ying Miaoyang for help.

Ying Miaoyang signaled her to speak up and not worry about Yuanchun.

Only then did Daiyu stand up and salute and replied: "As for the empress, I have never met my cousin. Today's meeting is all due to the honor of the empress."

The empress covered her lips and smiled softly, and said slyly: "In the future, you and your sister will have a lot of chances to meet each other, so let's get to know each other today!"

The palace rules are deep and strict, and the Hou family is like the sea.In Yuanchun deep in the empress's palace, how could Daiyu see her often?

As soon as the queen empress said this, everyone present couldn't help but feel a sudden burst of emotion, and they all speculated about the deep meaning.

Seeing this, Mrs. Shihou patted the back of Xiangyun's hand, who was still out of her mind, and whispered in her ear: "Your elder sister Lin is definitely not a thing in the pond. In the future, you must pay attention to what you say and do with her!" The implication is that Xiangyun is not allowed to speak out without words and act recklessly.

Xiangyun nodded with half-knowledge.

On the other hand, when the wives and girls from other families saw the two historians whispering, they all cheered up and prepared to flatter Ying Miaoyang and Daiyu later.

Among them, the most shocking one was Jia Yuanchun who had never been ordered to raise his head or say a word from the beginning to the end.

The Queen's empress said with a golden voice, did she mean to let her out of the palace or to take Daiyu into the palace?

Only the Empress, Empress Bingxian, Princess Ying and Ying Miaoyang exchanged glances, each smiling unfathomably.

Flowers open and pedicled, each with one branch.

But Yongyu was so playful that the emperor laughed for a while.Unexpectedly, when the emperor had the last laugh, he coughed anxiously.Coughing with phlegm, the voice is stagnant and dignified, which sounds worrying.

Yongyu hurriedly wanted to call the imperial physician, but the emperor stopped him.

"Yu'er, come in, Grandpa Huang has something to say to you." The emperor finally stopped coughing and panting, and said in a muffled voice.

Yongyu lifts the curtain and enters.But he saw the emperor leaning on the throne covered with thick felt, Wu Niu was panting for the moon, but he was still wearing jackets, his face was flushed and he was out of breath.Beside him, Prince Xian was wiping him with a hot towel.

Yongyu's feet softened.

Seeing this, the emperor smiled weakly, beckoned him to come closer, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid, Yu'er, Grandpa Huang is not serious. It's just that the road is quite bumpy, and the phlegm is coming up."

Yong Yu nodded in agreement, but he disagreed at all in his heart.Grandpa Huang used to be so wise and mighty, he couldn't let the arrows shoot with both bows, and the paddock in the suburbs of Beijing was only a few dozen miles away from the imperial city, so how could he be so tired?

Sure enough, there is no reason for it, and it may not be without reason. The uncle dared to do such a thing, presumably because he saw the emperor's grandfather was getting old.

However, since the emperor was already so seriously ill and kept everyone in the dark, why did he insist on coming to hunt with great fanfare? Wouldn't it be announcing that the emperor had violated peace and that the emperor was seriously ill and was approaching the end of his life?

Yongyu couldn't figure it out, so he could only visit his father secretly.

Prince Xian's bushy eyebrows were furrowed, his outer shirt was already soaked in hot sweat, but he didn't realize it.

The emperor looked at Yongyu's worried expression, he felt comforted, and suppressed his cough: "It's not that the emperor deliberately concealed his illness, it's really that the illness came on quickly and violently, and even the empress didn't know that I was so seriously ill. .But, but..." the emperor said, his slightly cloudy eyes shot out a fascinating light, he looked at the door of the tent, and said word by word, "The others got the news first, how can I feel at ease when you say this?"
