Crimson Pearl Tears in a Dream of Red Mansions

Daiyu and Miaoyu haven't seen each other for a long time, so they naturally have a lot to say, so they just talked on the bed, and it was dawn in the blink of an eye.When Qingwen Chunxian came into the room to wait for the two of them to freshen up, they found that they hadn't slept much at all, and there were faint dark circles under their eyes, but they couldn't be seen unless they looked carefully.

Seeing Qingwen Chunxian, she couldn't help complaining: "It's fine for the princess to be like this. Why is Miss Miao so capricious? You must know that it's autumn now, and it's very cold at night. It's not good if you get cold." Hearing this, Miaoyu couldn't help but smile coldly and said, "Your sister, these two girls are really good, they care about you so much." After hearing this, Daiyu laughed and said, "Where are these two girls alone?" , none of them consider me to be their master, and all of them are about to climb over my head."

When Qingwen and Chunxian heard this, they couldn't help saying angrily: "We are doing this for the princess's benefit, and I don't like the princess!" When Daiyu heard this, she couldn't help but "chih", and then asked: "Shuanghua and Bing Where is Ning? Why haven't you seen it?" Qingwen said, "The two of them have gone to clean up Miss Miao's room." Dai Yuyin asked, "Which room is it?" Chunxian said, "Sister Shuanghua used to clean up the house. Jinchun Courtyard is the closest to the princess, but sister Bing Ning said that Jinchun Courtyard is not suitable for Miss Miao's temperament, so she discussed with Sister Shuanghua to clean up Hengwu Courtyard and give it to Miss Miao to live in."

After hearing this, Daiyu said, "Although my sister is far away from me by doing this, the Hengwu Courtyard is really suitable for my sister, that's all." Miaoyu said after hearing this, "My sister, don't bother to ask them to clean up the house for me. Yes, when I came yesterday, I saw that Changcui nunnery is nice, very clean, and close to my sister, and I have always been a person who likes to worship Buddha, so I just live there." After hearing this, Daiyu hurriedly said: "This is the place. How can I do it, I can't let my sister live in that nunnery." Miaoyu said: "Why not? I don't really know how to serve the Buddha with my body." Hearing the words, Daiyu knew that Miaoyu was not good enough, so she had to accepted.

Changcui Nunnery is located in the northeast corner of the Grand View Garden. When the Grand View Garden was built, it was because there was already a nunnery in the Princess Mansion, and Kangxi did not want people to build this Quicui Nunnery in the garden. It is better to build a nunnery, so as not to be too prosperous in the garden and collide with the flower god.Kangxi heard that this led to the construction of Changcui Nunnery, but because he couldn't find a suitable abbot for a while, he had to allocate a few young nuns from the royal temple to live in it, because this Changcui Nunnery can also be regarded as a temple. Royal temples, moreover, monks are not so particular, they are monks everywhere, so there is nothing unwilling, so Master Yuantong, the abbot of Huangjue Temple, went to the Baiyun Temple behind Huangjue Temple to find meditation Master, from Baiyun temple, he found six young nuns to become monks in Changcui nunnery.

Therefore, after Miaoyu moved into the Changcui Temple, she temporarily became the abbot of the Changcui Temple. Whenever she meditated or slept, she would wear black clothes. Changing the boudoir attire, even Zhizhi'er is the same.That's why Daiyu laughed and said that Miaoyu is a "monk is not a monk, vulgar is not vulgar, female is not female, male is not male, he is a deformed person." Miaoyu just pursed her lips and smiled without saying a word.But these are all later.

On the fifteenth day of the eighth month, Daiyu and Miaoyu dressed up, and accompanied by Qingwen, Chunxian, Bingning, and Shuanghua, got into the chariot with eight treasures and seven fragrances, and then went to the palace. direction.Along the way, Miaoyu was in a daze, her heart was beating non-stop. Daiyu knew what Miaoyu was thinking, but because she had no way to comfort her, she just took Miaoyu's heart to her. He clenched his hand a little.Miaoyu was stunned for a moment, met Daiyu's gaze on her, smiled faintly, and temporarily calmed down her heart.

Not long after, the carriage arrived at the gate of the palace, and the guards at the gate of the palace heard that it was Daiyu's carriage, so they knelt down and said: "Princess, please forgive me, the emperor ordered the princess to enter the palace through the Meridian Gate." Daiyu heard that, He couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then he cursed Kangxi secretly in his heart, he always likes to put himself on the cusp of the storm.Seeing Daiyu's resentful look, Miaoyu smiled secretly, because she said, "I never thought my sister would have such a wonderful life here." When he entered the palace at the Meridian Gate, he was secretly thinking about the day when he must properly recover the debt from Kangxi.

After the carriage entered the palace, Daiyu and Miaoyu got out of the carriage and took soft sedan chairs to Kunning Palace.Unexpectedly, not long after entering the Kunning Palace, Li Dequan came in a hurry, saying that Kangxi set up the banquet in the Imperial Garden, and now he invites Daiyu and Miaoyu to come over.When Daiyu heard this, she couldn't help but wondered: "It's too early to leave the banquet, why do we have to go now?" After hearing this, Li Dequan said: "Master Xiaoyu, although it is still early to start the banquet, because the owners of the Eight Banners have already arrived , and the two iron hat kings have also arrived, the emperor wants to let Master Xiaoyu and Miss Miao go and meet them."

Hearing this, Daiyu couldn't help but hate that she was not a Han, otherwise she would just say "women are not allowed to see outsiders" and just evade it, but since she is from the Manchurian Banner, she doesn't have to follow the boudoir training that Han people only have .So I had to sigh: "Forget it, I'm going to change clothes with my sister." After speaking, he followed Miaoyu into the inner room to change clothes.After a cup of tea, Daiyu and Miaoyu changed clothes and came out. Daiyu changed into a light yellow flag dress with a few hibiscus embroidered with silver-red silk thread, while Miaoyu changed into She wore a lavender flag dress with several plum blossoms embroidered with silver-white silk thread.I only heard Daiyu say to Li Dequan: "I've been waiting for a long time, let's go now."

Li Dequan nodded. When he saw Miaoyu just now, he was a little surprised. He didn't expect that there are women who can compare with Daiyu in appearance and demeanor in this world. Although Daiyu called her "sister" , but I have never heard that Mrs. Lin has another daughter, even the emperor has never heard of it, but where did this woman come from?Although Li Dequan said he was suspicious, but he also knew that he could not ask too many questions or talk too much, so he didn't show his face at all, and just led Daiyu and Miaoyu towards the imperial garden.

When they arrived at the Royal Garden, Daiyu and Miao Yuguo saw that the banquet had been set up, and Kangxi and many princes and elder brothers Fujin had already attended the table. Among them, Prince Heshuokang and Prince Heshuosu were sitting next to Kangxi. Daiyu was a little surprised that the prince and Yinzhen hadn't arrived yet.Li Dequan knew what Daiyu was thinking, because he said: "Sibeile is ordered by the emperor to invite the prince and the thirteenth elder brother. It will take a while." Under the leadership of Li Dequan, Miaoyu went to the seat where the female relatives were sitting.

But at this time Kangxi saw Daiyu and Miaoyu, because he said: "Dai girl, come here, and bring your sister to me to show me!" Daiyu had no choice but to lead Miaoyu to Kangxi, Yin said: "Uncle Emperor, you know that Daiyu doesn't like these scenes the most, but you still want Daiyu to come over. Aren't you trying to make Daiyu feel at ease?" Yu asked, "Is this your elder sister?" Miaoyu didn't have a smile on her flawless face like beautiful jade, she only blessed her body slightly, and said, "Miaoyu has seen the emperor."

When Kangxi saw Miaoyu's actions, he couldn't help being a little surprised, and secretly said: "I didn't expect this cold woman to be so arrogant. When she saw me, she not only dared to look at me directly, but even saluted me " But Kangxi kept his expression on his face, because he said: "No." Then he asked: "That guy Ruhai, there is such a daughter who is still hiding, even I don't know." Miaoyu listened Then he said: "Miaoyu is just a rootless duckweed, an orphan girl who was raised by her adoptive father and adoptive mother under her knees. It is reasonable for the emperor not to know."

Daiyu couldn't help smiling at Miaoyu when she heard the words, and said: "Sister, don't say that. Speaking of which, my sister is my father's distant niece, a descendant of the Lin family who has been in the same line. How can you talk about rootless duckweed and an orphan girl?" Do you not regard us as outsiders?" Seeing Kangxi's puzzled face again, Daiyu said: "My sister is actually from the Lin family, and she is the daughter of an uncle from Daiyu's clan, because her uncle and aunt died young. , so my father adopted my sister under his own name, so no matter how you count, my sister is Daiyu's real sister!"

When Kangxi heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Since you are Dai girl's sister, I will confer you the title of Princess Heshuo Shuning, which is my bestowal to you." Miaoyu was about to refuse, but she didn't want Daiyu to laugh first Said: "I would like to thank Uncle Emperor for this, but Uncle Emperor, our sisters have not seen each other for a long time, you can't build a princess mansion for sister, let her move out, let alone let her live in the palace, otherwise It’s better not to seal this princess and uncle.” Kangxi couldn’t help laughing “haha” when he heard this, and said, “Forget it, I’ve saved a lot of money in this way.”

After a word, I saw Yinreng, Yinzhen and Yinxiang walking over together. It's okay for Yinzhen to see Miaoyu, but Yinreng and Yinxiang saw Miaoyu, and they were stunned for a long time.Yinfeng was attracted by Miaoyu's peerless charm, but Yinxiang was not like Yinfeng. When he saw Miaoyu suddenly, he felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity welling up in his heart, and also an inexplicable pain and emotion. The emotions that surged up together with joy only made me almost cry.Yinxiang forcibly suppressed the inexplicable emotions gushing out of his heart, followed Yinreng and Yinzhen to Kangxi to salute and say hello, then went to his seat and sat down.

When Miaoyu saw Yinxiang, she didn't feel a move in her heart. While sitting at the table with Daiyu, she secretly counted and found that Yinxiang was the reincarnation of Houyi.After knowing the answer, Miaoyu couldn't help but feel the tide of thoughts surging in her heart, and she couldn't help herself, her eyes secretly looked in Yinxiang's direction from time to time.And Yinxiang also felt Miaoyu's gaze looking at him, so he raised his head and peeked at Miaoyu's place. Their eyes collided, and they blushed instantly, and it took him a long time to calm down. .

Daiyu is sensitive by nature, since Yinxiang came in, she noticed that Miaoyu and Yinxiang seemed not quite right, so she glanced at the two of them, and secretly calculated, after knowing the reason, Daiyu couldn't Jue sighed slightly in his heart, wondering that he often felt that Yinxiang and himself had known each other for a long time, so it was because of this, but fortunately no one except her found out, otherwise Miaoyu might be involved in the turmoil Among them.

But Daiyu seems to be thinking too naively, not to mention that Miaoyu has something to do with her, even her peerless beauty is hard to prevent her from being involved in the storm in the harem. She was also conferred the title of Princess Heshuo Shuning by Kangxi, and it was destined that she, like Daiyu, would be hard-pressed to escape the storm of Jiulong seizing the throne.

Not long after the dinner started, Concubine Yi suddenly heard a smile and asked Kangxi: "Your Majesty, the concubine came late, I don't know who the girl next to the princess is, and I haven't seen the princess introduce me to the concubines. ?" As soon as Concubine Yi said this, everyone turned to Daiyu and Miaoyu.Daiyu didn't say a word when she heard the words, she just looked at Kangxi with two eyes, and looked like she was not doing her own business.When Kangxi saw Daiyu like this, he was very helpless, so he had to smile wryly in his heart, and said: "That's Miss Daiyu's sister, Miaoyu, Miaogirl, I have already canonized her as Princess Heshuo Shuning. Say some rules, don't rush!"

After hearing this, Concubine Yi kept it in her heart, but she smiled and said: "It turned out to be Princess Shuning, the sister of Princess Chenyu, it's strange that the concubine's eyes are clumsy, she didn't recognize her, but she was out of courtesy, why don't the concubine punish herself with a cup?" , as an apology, how about it?" The last sentence, Yifei said to Miaoyu.Miaoyu glanced at Concubine Yi with her cold eyes, without saying a word, she just took the black and silver plum blossom in front of her from the pot, poured about half of it into the cup, and then drank it down in one gulp.

Concubine Yi saw Miaoyu being so defiant, she felt annoyed, but she had no choice but to pour herself a glass of wine, but at the same time, the calculations in her mind were already rattling.However, what Concubine Yi did not expect was that it was precisely because of her success that many things were out of her control, which eventually led to her tragic fate. carry.
