The World of Peace in the Red Mansion

Prince Mingrui is the emperor's half-brother, but because of the low status of his birth mother, he has no great ambitions, at least on the surface, he escaped from the competition for the reserve back then, and became the emperor at the place where the emperor ascended the throne. To show his loyalty, the emperor naturally doesn't mind keeping such a non-threatening brother.

It's just that although Mingrui is somewhat clear about major matters, he is really not shrewd about minor matters. Princess Hongxia's biological mother was Prince Mingrui's main concubine, but it was well known that Prince Mingrui spoiled his concubine and killed his wife.Princess Mingrui was so angry that she fell ill and died, leaving only one daughter.

After all, it was because of the face of the royal family. The empress dowager did not allow him to straighten the side concubine, but married another concubine. This new concubine was smarter than the last one. As for the management power in the mansion, the rest will be tossed around with those two.

It's just that the five-year-old Princess Hongxia was in an embarrassing situation as soon as the former concubine passed away. There were many heirs in the Mingxuan palace, not to mention the favored side concubine had two daughters and one son, and the younger concubine also gave birth to heirs soon , and other concubines.Princess Hongxia who lost her mother naturally had no one to care about. Fortunately, the Empress Dowager saw her in a pitiful situation, and gave her the title of princess before the new princess entered the mansion, which meant preservation.

It's just that I don't know when the savage and domineering Princess Hongxia began to spread in Beijing. It is only said that she has a very bad temper, beat and scolded her servants frequently, and even showed no mercy to her half-brothers and sisters.Concubine Mingxuan didn't dare to discipline her because of her status, so her reputation was bad. Now she is 14 years old, and she will be a child next year, but no one came to propose marriage.Just looking at the meaning of the palace, there is no princess who does not marry in the royal family.

These things are rumors that everyone knows, but Nanny Zhang came out of the palace, so she naturally knows the truth. "The Princess Hongxia was very clever when she was a child, and she was not as many people as she was. She was also very popular with the Empress Dowager back then, but it was just a bad fate."

"Why did they do that? Princess Hongxia is just a daughter, so why bother to ruin her reputation?" Daiyu said sullenly.

Nanny Zhang didn't want Daiyu to become that little girl who doesn't know the world, so she didn't hide it from her and said: "The side concubine of the Mingxuan Palace was suppressed by the former princess and held a grudge in her heart, and she was also the princess of Hongxia County. Lord, her daughter can only be named a princess at most, so she doesn't want the princess to have a good time. As for the new princess, she is only superficially charitable, otherwise she wouldn't be able to draw with the side concubine. How about the princess? It has nothing to do with her, it's just a joke."

"Doesn't the prince care? Anyway, it's his own daughter." Daiyu couldn't help asking, making it seem like she couldn't think of such a father, but it was her own daughter who was left to others. spoil.

"The relationship between Prince Mingxuan and the former concubine is not good, so his feelings for the princess are also very weak. Mr. Lin is a good father, but the girl's fathers in the world are not only like Mr. Lin. There are also many cruel ones. , you just look at Jia's mansion. The virtuous concubine in the palace now entered the palace as a female official. You must know that this female official is only a servant in the end. If she is not very lucky, I am afraid she will stay until 25. When he was sent out of the palace at the age of ten, his life would be almost ruined by that time. This Mr. Jia has never seen a girl who loves her dearly." Zhang Momo broke the matter apart and told Daiyu to listen.

Daiyu fell silent when she heard the words, people in Jia's mansion can only see the beauty of the virtuous concubine now, no one has mentioned her previous sufferings, she has been in the mansion for many years and no one has remembered this cousin, now it is natural for her to become a concubine It was a happy event, but if she didn't have such good luck, Daiyu would shiver for no reason on the day she left the palace in a few years.

Although Nanny Zhang also wanted to take the opportunity to teach, she didn't want Daiyu to be too sad, so she changed the topic and said: "Speaking of which, the relationship between your wives is not that simple. When the girl is out Young Master Xiao has to go out and walk around, so he should know more about it. If a bad person commits a taboo, it will also offend others, so hurry up and talk to the girl when you are free tomorrow."

Daiyu laughed and said, "That's great, fortunately there is a mother by my side."

Nanny Zhang also smiled, Daiyu's temperament is real, if you treat her well, she will naturally treat you well, she doesn't ask for anything else when she gets old, she just wants to live in peace and security.

In the first few days, Daiyu and her party were just getting familiar with the situation in the temple and had nothing else to do. Only when everything settled down did Daiyu have other thoughts.

Daiyu regularly copied a volume of scriptures for her parents every day, and the rest of the time was just reading, writing and so on.Since Zijuan and the others packed up a rattan chair in the yard, Daiyu likes to sit there for a rest when she has nothing to do.

Now it's early summer in the blink of an eye. Although the temple is very cool, it is still hot at noon. Zijuan and the others don't ask Daiyu to go out anyway, and only go for a walk in the courtyard in the evening.

Locked in the room, she was very bored and panicked. Daiyu came suddenly and asked someone to find her qin, and she wanted to play a song.

Zijuan and the others have all heard Daiyu's qin sound very nice, so they rushed to find it, because they disliked the lack of artistic conception in the house, so they put the qin in the shade of the yard. Under the sycamore tree, it is very cool.

After not making a move for a long time, Daiyu first tried a few dials, and then the ethereal sound of the piano began to sound, and Daiyu herself was immersed in it.At this moment, the sound of flute suddenly came in harmony.

The sound of the piano and the sound of the flute blended together tacitly, and finally woke up with a gentle croon.

"Girl, what's the sound of the flute?" Zicuckoo asked softly with a wet handkerchief to wipe her hands.

Daiyu shook her head with a smile and said nothing, but Xianghui said: "Young lady's piano sound is really nice. When I was in the palace, I once heard that virtuous concubine play the piano for her, but it is not as good as young lady."

As soon as these words came out, Daiyu didn't say anything but Nanny Zhang frowned, and Xiangxue who was beside her hurriedly grabbed Xianghui.Xianghui seemed to know that she had said something wrong, so she bowed her head and remained silent.

The rest of the snow geese didn't know what was going on, but the girl's qin really sounds good, doesn't it?After all, Nanny Zhang saved Xianghui's face and only wanted to teach privately later.

At this moment, Baihe suddenly led a person forward, she was indeed a very handsome girl, she wore light green clothes, although she could be seen to be a maid, she should be a big maid.

"Girl, this elder sister said it's from the yard next door to ours."

Next door, the princess Hongxia, thinking of the sound of the flute just now, Daiyu was also a little curious about what the princess sent someone over.

The maid made a salute and said crisply: "I have met Miss Lin, and my princess heard the sound of the piano very much, and specially sent a gift to congratulate the girl on her new arrival." After saying that, she handed over a book .

Zijuan went up to take it and handed it to Daiyu. Daiyu's eyes showed surprise, since it was the long-lost Guangling San music score, she hurriedly said: "The princess is polite, I dare not accept such a heavy gift."

The servant girl smiled and said, "Miss Lin, please don't delay. My princess said that this piano score should be given to a bosom friend. She doesn't know how to play the piano. It's good to give it to the girl who might be able to hear it well."

Daiyu couldn't help but smile bitterly when she heard the words, but the precious piano score that the world coveted was delivered so easily, this princess is really a wonderful person.Therefore, Daiyu pondered for a while and said: "Zijuan, go and get the music book in my room."

It's hard to find a bosom friend, since she sent the piano score, she also returned a score, but the maid did not delay, but took the score from Zijuan, smiled at Daiyu, and then left.She felt that her princess would like Miss Lin very much.

Sure enough, after a while, the sound of the flute sounded again from the next door. Daiyu sat down when she heard the sound, and soon joined the sound of the flute by flicking her fingers.

Perhaps it was because of things that distracted her attention, so the days in the temple were not bad, and they passed quickly.

She and the princess hadn't masked their faces until now, and the exchanges were just girls running around, but it made them get acquainted first.

Seeing Xueyan come in with a plate of things smiling, Daiyu asked interestingly, "What good things came along?"

Xueyan said: "Young lady speaks as if we are so ignorant. This is her wish. A few days ago, I said that I told Sister Biyu that she knew it was hot. Sister Biyu probably told the princess that today's He specially asked me to bring this plum back, girl, hurry up and taste it!"

The weather is getting hotter and Daiyu has a weak spleen and stomach. Although the vegetarian dish is light, she is still a little anorexic. Now that she looks at these plump plums, she suddenly has some appetite. She thinks of one and tastes it, it is really delicious.

Xueyan just stood aside and looked at Daiyu curiously, knowing that she likes to hurry up and said: "I heard that this is made by the people around the princess. If the girl likes to eat, I will go to the next door to learn how to cook."

Daiyu just laughed and said, "I'm afraid you are hungry, so try it!"

Xueyan shook her head, this is for the girl, it's rare that a girl likes to eat, so she should keep it.But she said again in a blink of an eye: "Girl, then what shall we send there?" Sometimes I really don't know what the girl and princess are thinking, they look very good, but they don't see each other, so they just run away.

Just when Xueyan was curious about what her daughter was going to return, she saw Daiyu sitting in front of the qin, which has not been put away since it was taken out.Only the sound of the qin was heard, and Xueyan hurriedly opened the window to let the sound of the qin come out.

In the courtyard separated by a wall, in the exquisite flower hall, there are two beautiful girls sitting opposite each other, and several maidservants stand beside them.Vaguely heard the sound of the piano, one of them jokingly said: "Is this your bosom friend?"

The woman in red on the opposite side did not answer, but listened carefully, then put down the teacup, stretched out her hand, and gifted a jade flute.Then there was another piece of harmony between zither and flute.

Her friend was secretly amazed and didn't bother, just asked the maidservants aside, were they like this in the past?

Seeing the maid nodding, it was even more unbelievable. Everyone in the capital knew how difficult her cousin was, and ordinary people couldn't catch her eyes.So I became more and more curious about the girl who played the piano.
