Daiyu of Red Mansions Rebirth

It’s sunny at the beginning of summer, and the air is still cool, and the rain-washed forest looks green from a distance”; a few birds occasionally flit across the treetops, adding a bit of joy and joy to the calm and dignified palace. The Empress Dowager's bedroom was filled with joy and laughter early in the morning. As soon as the concubine had left to pay her respects, the crown prince and Prince Ying's son arrived. The Empress Dowager ordered the ladies in the palace to bring fresh fruits, leaving the two of them to chat and eat in the room.

The prince is 16 years old this year, and he has just entered the court. The queen mother asked him how he was doing, how he got along with the ministers, and so on.

The crown prince is all right, please put the emperor's grandmother down.

The Queen Mother nodded with a smile, and said: "That's good, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear the hardships. You are a legitimate son, and even though you have an older brother, you can't surpass you. It's a pity...the Queen left early, and your status is not the same as that of you. Other princes are different, so their attitude towards you is naturally different. Because you have lost your mother since you were young, it is pitiful, the emperor loves you a lot, and the food you use is the best, but the gold slave and silver maidservant are not the same. What wronged you. Jinjiaoyugui grew up so big, and now I suddenly entered the court, I was afraid that you would not be used to it, but now it seems that I was thinking too much!... But this is also good, this is also good ah……"

The prince leaned close to the queen mother and said: "Please worry about the emperor's grandmother, my grandson is really sorry, so I can only learn about politics from my father, the emperor's ministers, and live up to the emperor's grandmother's expectations."

The Empress Dowager nodded and said, "It's rare for you to think so. You are young, and those court affairs may be difficult to understand. Remember, you must not be arrogant and arrogant, and you must consult experienced veterans. As the saying goes 'If you don't listen to the old man's words, you will suffer in front of your eyes.' You should not hold on to your identity and point fingers, you should learn more and watch more. Especially those old ministers who have been in officialdom for decades. After a while, one of their methods is sometimes more practical than what you have been thinking about for a day."

"Yes, my grandson has written it all down." The prince showed a humble look.He looked at Liu Yixuan who was eating fruit seriously with his head down, sighed, and said with some regret: "It would be great if brother Xuan was two years older, and he can also enter the court to help me."

The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "It's not urgent, just wait for two more years? These two years are just for training you."

"Oh... so that's what grandma came up with." The prince stuck out his tongue and said with a smile, as if he had suddenly realized.As the crown prince, he learned the art of imperial power since he was a child, and he was required to keep his emotions and anger hidden. In front of outsiders, he had to restrain all his mischievousness and innocence, and only in front of his close relatives could he dare to do whatever he wanted.

Just as they were talking, an old nanny came in with a pot of colorful flowers.

The peculiarity of this flower, the word "colorful" is the best way to describe it.I saw a small potted plant, with more than a dozen blooming in succession. Each flower has five petals, and each petal has a color, namely red, yellow, blue, white, and purple. It is very delicate and beautiful. Gorgeous, intensely floral.The queen mother smiled when she saw it, and hurriedly asked to bring it quickly.The nanny put it on the small case and put it away carefully. The prince looked up and looked at it excitedly, and asked, "Grandmother, what kind of flower is this? It's so rare. Where did you get it?"

"Where did you get it?" The Queen Mother snorted, "We don't have this, it's a tribute from overseas."

"A tribute from overseas?" The prince's eyes widened, "Then... out of this basin, are there others?"

"Only this pot." The Empress Dowager supported the flower pot with both hands, looked carefully, nodded and said with a smile on her face, "The wonder of this flower is not that one flower has five colors, but that it has five colors." The fragrance of the flower is unique, rich and long-lasting. It was born on the top of the mountain, and it takes five years to accumulate nutrients. Once it blooms, it will be undefeated for two years. The idea of ​​a potted flower already has an owner, and I plan to give it to Miss Lin."

Liu Yixuan froze, pursed his lips, and leaned slightly towards them.

"Is it the teacher's daughter?" Although it was a questioning tone, the prince was determined in his heart, and knew that it was Lin Daiyu without a doubt.After all... the Queen Mother has not been in contact with many girls surnamed Lin, and those who can remember their names are rare. Daiyu is the only one who can make her care about and give such rare things from time to time, the prince guessed No surprise there either.

In the past two years, the emperor asked the crown prince and Liu Yixuan to follow Lin Ruhai to learn and learn from them. After getting along for a long time, both of them couldn't help admiring Lin Ruhai's knowledgeable character, so they treated each other with teacher etiquette, except for formal occasions, they usually called them teachers.The emperor was happy to see it come true. Lin Ruhai was his confidant, and the crown prince was his future heir. The two complemented each other, which would save a lot of trouble.

"Hmm... who else could there be besides her?" The Queen Mother glanced at Liu Yixuan indistinctly, with a faint smile on her lips, "Girl Lin has made a lot of pouches and sachets for me in recent years, all of them are carefully embroidered. , I don’t know how many times better than the outside. She is filial and reciprocates, I should give him something. Oh, yes, she will come after a while, you two go to your own business, Don't stay here anymore. Now I'm older than when I was a child. After all, men and women are different. Lin girl has a thin skin. She will feel embarrassed when she sees you, so it's better to avoid it. Don't you think, Xuan'er?"

"The emperor's grandmother said that grandson will leave now." Liu Yixuan got up and saluted, while winking at the prince, asking him to leave with him.

"This child, you still pretend to be me." As soon as the two left, the Empress Dowager pointed to Liu Yixuan's back and said to the old mother beside her.When she saw her eldest grandson since she was a child, how could she not know what was going on in her mind?Okay, just pretend to be tough, let's see how long you can be tough?

While adding water, the nanny said: "The empress dowager has sharp eyes, why can you hide it from you? The son-in-law is just a child with a low face, and with your help, what can't be done?"

"Hey, don't give me a high hat, it's up to them?"

"If you want this old slave to tell you, it will be considered a success. Our Shizi has nothing to say here. This old slave has watched Shizi grow up since he was a child. Although Shizi is different from other children, he still understands it. Nian occasionally mentions Miss Lin's son's performance, so he is naturally very satisfied. Otherwise, with his temper, he would be expressionless and ignore him, so why would he still ask people? I don't think Miss Lin would have any What, Shi Ziye has such a good personality, talent, and handsome appearance, he can't find it even with a lantern!"

The queen mother sighed and said: "It's useless for us to talk about it, and Lin girl is willing to do it." Then she urged, "Go and see if Lin girl is here, let her come directly to the bedroom, there is no need Notified."

"Hey, Empress Dowager, you should have tea first, and this old servant will just watch."

The old mother went out and brought Daiyu in after a while.Before Daiyu saluted, the Empress Dowager called, "No, no, come quickly!" She pointed to the potted flowers and showed Daiyu.

"Five-color cloud brocade!" Daiyu said in surprise.

"you know?"

Daiyu nodded: "I saw it in a book. No wonder I smelled a strong fragrance of flowers before I entered the palace. I was wondering just now. How could this fragrance come from the Queen Mother's bedroom, and It doesn't smell like the fragrance of flowers in an ordinary vase, but like a certain kind of flower fragrance that I have never seen before. I didn't want to bring it with me. It is recorded in the book that this flower is extremely rare. It blooms once every five years, and the flowering period is undefeated for two years. It grows on the cliffs of a high mountain on a small hidden island overseas, and it is extremely difficult to pick it, where did you get it, Queen Mother?"

"This is a tribute from a small overseas country, and it's only this pot."

Daiyu listened and nodded, "In the past, I only heard about his name. I don't want to be able to see her face with the blessing of the Empress Dowager today. It is a blessing. My daughter thanked the Empress Dowager."

The queen mother laughed twice, and said: "Forget it, the first time I saw this flower, I expected that you would like it, so I let someone keep it for you." Then she called out, "Get ready, get ready, Find something to put it in, don't damage the petals, and bring it back to Lin Yatou in a while."

"Queen?" Daiyu was a little surprised.

"This was originally reserved for you. Many people wanted it, but I didn't give it to you."

"No, Empress Dowager...this...isn't appropriate." Daiyu felt even worse when she heard this.Those who can ask for things from the Queen Mother will naturally have a different status; if they have a higher status than themselves, they still have nothing to gain.

"Hey, what's inappropriate? I'm old and I don't have the energy to serve these flowers and plants. I heard that you are very good at this. The flowers and plants in your house are all lush and colorful under your care. This kind of flowers, There is only one pot in total, I don’t have to waste it here, how about bringing it back to you and raising it, and then sending it to me?”

"The maid takes orders."

The queen mother frowned when she heard the words, and said angrily: "You child! Didn't I say it earlier, you don't have to be so polite with me."

……

In the Qinzheng Hall on the other side of the palace, His Majesty the Emperor was reading a memorial, and Lin Ruhai was standing in the hall.The hall was silent, the emperor frowned and pursed his lips and scanned every word seriously, Lin Ruhai bowed his head and remained silent, even the palace servants in the hall held their breath and concentrated, even breathing lightly as much as possible.

"Bam—"

It was the sound of wrinkling and falling on the desk, the palace people shivered neatly, and immediately knelt down on the ground without saying a word.

"Except for Ru Hai, all retreat!" the emperor said coldly.

The palace people all got up, bowed their bodies, and disappeared at an extremely fast speed.The hall suddenly became more empty, and the emperor stepped down the imperial steps step by step, his eyes fixed on Lin Ruhai's.

"Your Majesty, you can close the net." After a while, Lin Ruhai said.
