The World of Peace in the Red Mansion

Therefore, Nanny Liu just bowed her head and kneaded and didn't dare to persuade her anymore. Fortunately, the Empress Dowager didn't say this again and said: "Wanrong likes that girl from the Lin family very much?"

Wanrong is the boudoir name of Concubine Mingxuan, her surname is Zhao, and her boudoir name is Wanrong, and now only the Empress Dowager can call her that.

"Princess Xuan doesn't have a daughter who likes bright little girls the most. No one in the capital knows that Miss Lin is not a bad person, and she knows a few of them. For the sake of the prince, Princess Xuan may like it a little bit. "Grandma Liu laughed.

"You also said that everyone in the capital knows that she likes girls, but I haven't seen a few who can catch her eyes. That's all, let's call the girls from the Lin family to see the flowers tomorrow!"

Grandma Liu paused for a moment before returning to normal with a smile, "Yes, I will arrange it, servant."

Daiyu and Zhen'er live together with Princess Mingxuan, and they live in one of the best courtyards in the palace. This time the empress dowager did not let anyone in the palace accompany her, so other than the empress dowager The Empress Dowager is only Princess Mingxuan with the most important status.

The courtyard has both the gracefulness of the south of the Yangtze River and a sense of vastness, and Daiyu liked it very much when she saw it.Holding Zhen'er's hand, the two of them hurriedly arranged the corresponding things, at least they will live there for a few months, they just have to see what they like.

Daiyu had already made a plan in her mind, since the Empress Dowager didn't like it, she would just go out less. Fortunately, the scenery in this courtyard is not bad, and it would be a good thing to read and play the piano with the distant green hills in the morning and evening every day.The ancients still have the leisurely way of picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence. Although she can't, she can also play the piano under the green hills.

It's just that Daiyu's plan was very good, but she didn't want the Empress Dowager to go out of her way and suddenly get an order to ask her to attend the flower viewing banquet together, which is really beyond Daiyu's guess.It's just that the soldiers came to cover the water and soil, and she didn't have any fear.If you want to come to the empress dowager with a noble status, you shouldn't embarrass her, a little girl, right?

Zhen'er looked very happy, as long as the empress dowager thought about it and was willing to accept Daiyu, it couldn't be better.

Everyone refreshed, and the next day they went to the garden in the palace to have a banquet, but this time most of the people who came were young girls.The leaders were the emperor's princesses, the eldest princess and the second princess, and the rest did not come because they were too young.

Sixteen of the seven princesses and fifteen of the eight princesses are of marriageable age, but the marriages of royal princesses are seldom proud in the past, and the son-in-law cannot be an official. up.Therefore, most of the marriages in the royal family are chosen from honorable families, and generally those who have passed away have more second-in-law sons.

It's just that no matter what, I can't treat you badly, but compared to Daiyu who has already been married, some people feel a little envious.These girls who are as delicate as flowers in front of them are from noble backgrounds, but unfortunately they have to accept their involuntary fate after enjoying the wealth and honor brought by their status.Those who cherish their daughters may seriously choose the first choice, and those who only look at the wealth and status, I am afraid that the husband and son-in-law may not be able to agree.But so what, I can only endure it.

Cheng Guogong's son is considered to be top-notch among the kings and grandsons of Beijing, and he can be said to be a wishful man in the eyes of the girls, but now he is the one who is ahead of others. This embarrasses Daiyu.

The seventh princess Rui'an, the eighth princess and Yue grew up together with Cheng Xiao. It is impossible to say that they have never had thoughts in their hearts. Besides, even stones in this palace can talk.Many people in the palace know what the Empress Dowager means.It's a pity that Cheng Xiao has no intention of being a rich and idle person, so naturally he won't marry the princess.

There are no stupid people who come out of the palace, and if there are any, they will not be able to catch the eyes of the Empress Dowager. Naturally, the two princesses are very clear about who Cheng Xiao is, and he was appointed as the deputy commander of the Imperial Guard at a young age Position, don't say it's a false title.I'm afraid that some people will never be able to get into this in their entire lives, that is an ambitious person.So since it won't be them, it doesn't really matter who they are.

Na Rui'an saw the girl from the Lin family better than the others, so she treated Daiyu kindly.

There are more girls from clans present, and some of them are relatives of the emperor.The attitudes are different, the empress dowager has not arrived yet, and there is no elder here.The crowd, headed by several princesses, took their positions.

Zhen'er took Daiyu along with her, with an obvious intention of protecting her.Even if you can't see it, you won't come up.Who doesn't know that Princess Hongxia is notoriously difficult to talk, and she has no choice but to find it boring.

But not all of them will come, Mu Lan walked over with a smile, "Why are Princess Hongxia and Sister Lin here, it's easy for me to find."

Daiyu smiled slightly and said, "Hello, Sister Mu." By the way, she gently tugged on Zhen'er, and Zhen'er said flatly, "Long time no see, Princess Mu."

Facing Zhen'er's indifference, Mu Lan looked at Daiyu as if she hadn't seen her.

Naturally, it was not the first time she saw Lin Daiyu, but she never thought that Cheng Xiao would be so capable to get things done, and even involved herself and her mother.It's a good thing that my mother didn't know until now, she only thought it was her grandfather's idea, but unfortunately she didn't choose a good girl last time, if she knew, Cheng Xiao might be annoyed and would be punished, but she didn't intend to let her mother know, and use this handle to point Maybe someday Cheng Xiao will be able to help her, her cousin is amazing.

Seeing Mu Lan's strange eyes, Daiyu felt uneasy. Thinking about what happened to Cheng Xiao earlier, wondering if Mu Lan knew about it, she was suspicious, but she didn't show it on her face.

Fortunately, Mu Lan quickly regained her gaze and only took Daiyu's hand and said, "Sister Lin, don't be lazy, you don't know anyone, come on, I'll show you to meet someone."

It's hard to back down after some kindness, but naturally Daiyu would not separate from Zhen'er, she actually took Zhen'er together.

As a princess, Mu Lan's status is not low, and more importantly, her mother is the niece of the Empress Dowager.She led Daiyu to the side of the princesses first.

The crowd who had formed a circle followed their arrival but made way for them, their eyes more or less swept across Daiyu's body.

Ruian was the first to laugh and said: "I still think you are doing something, you are really a good sister-in-law, Cheng Xiao must thank you very much."

It was originally a joke, but it was just said in front of the girls in the boudoir, it is not appropriate after all, only the one is the princess, and it seems to be unintentional, so it is not easy to refute.

Daiyu didn't show it on her face, but she was only light in her heart.On the contrary, Zhen'er didn't have so many scruples and sneered: "If you count it like this, most of you are present, obviously you are not very good." Cheng Xiao is a relative of the emperor, and the princesses are indeed cousins.These words made Ryan's face froze, and he was suddenly a little unhappy.

Daiyu gently pinched Zhen'er's hand and said with a smile: "After all, there are differences between monarchs and ministers. How can a princess be as honorable as we are? Sister Zhen'er is being mean-spirited."

Zhen'er snorted coldly and ignored it, Mu Lan smiled and smoothed things over and said: "Sister Lin is not right, it's my fault for being a good princess, don't let mother concubine know, be careful and say I am." Ryan begged for mercy.

Ryan also knew that he had said the wrong thing, after all, he used the step down to expose the matter.

Just at this moment, the servants sang "The Empress Dowager is here!" Everyone rushed forward to greet her.

It was Princess Mingxuan and Princess Dong'an who supported the Empress Dowager from left to right.

"Granddaughter pays respects to the imperial grandmother!"

"See the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager lives forever."

The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "Get up!"

Only then did the people get up, and when the Empress Dowager sat down, they sat down again in turn.

Daiyu and Zhen'er sat behind Princess Mingxuan not too far away, because she didn't know what the empress dowager meant, so Daiyu planned to keep a low profile and not attract attention.

But I don't want her to plan well, but she has to be happy.Today was originally meant to appreciate flowers, and the palace waiters prepared a few rare peonies to enter.The peony has the reputation of the king of flowers, the world loves it very much, but Daiyu is not very fond of it. Compared with the peony, she prefers the quietness and straightness of the green bamboo, and the elegance of the lotus.

It's just that at this time, of course, I won't say it, I just comment with everyone, and I have to say that these peonies are very rare.Yao Huang Wei Zi has a long history, and what's even more rare is that there is a Yao Chi Chun, which makes people secretly amazed after seeing it.

But after appreciating it, someone suddenly said: "It's not interesting if you just admire the flowers. How about asking everyone here to compose a poem about this peony?"

Princess Heyue, who was talking, got up with a smile and suggested to the Empress Dowager.

When these words came out, the girls behaved differently, some frowned slightly, presumably lacking in talent, and some were eager to try, obviously wanting to show off their talents.

Princess Mingxuan smiled first and said: "Princess, that's a good idea, but I should invite you little girls together, let's forget it like this. What does the queen mother say?"

The empress dowager's expression remained unchanged, and she said lightly: "It was originally the excitement of your juniors. Since you have this meaning, you can make up your mind. When it's done, the Ai family will also be a judge. I loved this when I was young, but now When I get older, I don’t have this interest.”

Ruian asked Heyue to snatch her first, feeling annoyed in her heart, and hurriedly said with a smile after hearing the words: "The emperor's grandmother has been prosperous for thousands of years, and the granddaughter still needs to be taught by the emperor's grandmother."

Everyone also echoed and said, the Empress Dowager smiled and waved her hands and said: "I know your intentions, just prepare!"

Since Mingyue was pointed out earlier to prepare, it is natural that she will come forward now, but not all the girls will participate, Mingyue is not that unreasonable, and it is not my fault to force people to participate and make a fool of myself.

Daiyu is very talented in poetry, but unfortunately she still doesn't want to attract attention in this scene today.Just about to give up, she didn't want the Empress Dowager to suddenly say: "Wanrong, where is the girl from the Lin family you brought?"
