Six palaces without concubines in the Red Chamber

0135 Lin Daiyu Accompanied by Driving in Fuhai

The empress dowager wanted to eat on the Yaotai of Pengdao, which was a very important matter for the imperial dining room and the palace people who served closely.Except for the people in front of the emperor, most of the garden had to move together.

The word spread to Qingyan in Jiuzhou, Daiyu washed her hands, and the emperor was waiting for her to put down her sleeves.After going through the whole midsummer, she became more and more radiant and fair.A slender wrist, like frozen goat's milk, was shockingly white.

Seeing that she is wearing a sapphire twist bracelet on her left wrist, but on her right wrist is a string of bodhi seed bracelets with pale gold threads.As soon as the emperor's heart moved, a smile inevitably overflowed from the corner of his lips.

He straightened his back, stood up straight and looked at her, staring at Daiyu until he didn't know what to do with his hands and feet, and covered his eyes with his hands in embarrassment: "What are you looking at?"

The emperor allowed her to move, his palms were slightly cool, his fingers were lightly clasped on her wrist, and he flicked the bracelet twice: "Why did you think of wearing it today?"

Daiyu took a step back, stretched out her hand to cover her right wrist, and said angrily, "You don't care about me!"

She would not let the emperor know that the reason why she picked out the bodhi seed bracelet to wear today is that she was a little unsure about meeting so many girls, and she was very restless.Seeing the bracelet in the dowry, I remembered that it was the emperor's original personal belongings. Somehow, I was obsessed with it, and when I recovered, it was already in my hand.Strange to say, once you put it on, it's like holding the backbone.It was as if the emperor was encouraging her by the side.

"I'm getting more and more delicate, I just ask a question." Although the emperor said so, there was an irrepressible smile on the corner of his lips.He sent Daiyu to the pier so that she could take a boat to the Xinghuachun Pavilion, which would be faster.

Before leaving, he gathered the soft satin cloak outside for her, and explained softly: "Pengdao Yaotai is surrounded by water, and now it's autumn, and the wind is even stronger at night. The old ancestor is getting older, and his playfulness has also improved. I I know that you are filial and respectful, but you can't let your ancestors do whatever they want. If you feel that your spirit is not good, you can leave the banquet and go to rest."

"I'm cold and I know what the scorpion stinger is doing." Daiyu shook his hand back, frowned and said, "It's just that there are guests here today, so why should I leave them to rest by myself? Then what am I going to do?" No, you don't need to be called coquettish."

"What are you talking about?" The emperor frowned. He was a dignified and dignified person. Once there was no smile on his face, he would appear overly serious, which made people feel suspenseful for no reason.The emperor said solemnly: "You are the empress, who dares to say that you are not? The empress is the mother of a country, why should you flatter them?" Having said this, he still felt that it was not enough, for fear that Daiyu would really die for those people. wronged myself.So he turned to Zhiqi: "Jixue has nothing to do, so Aunt Zhouquan is a must. Be careful, don't make the queen tired."

Zhiqi naturally responded with all her mouth, thinking that after a while, she would never leave.

"Tell me, you've started to chatter more and more." Daiyu pushed him out and urged, "You still talk about me, why don't you know that your hands are cold? Go back quickly, don't stand in the wind."

When Daiyu arrived at the Xinghuachun Pavilion, everyone had already arrived, and they were sitting around the open room talking with the Empress Dowager.When she stepped in, everyone stood up and greeted her.Regardless of what he thinks in his heart, at least from the outside, he looks harmonious and respectful.

Daiyu ordered them to die, and went forward to greet the empress dowager.The Empress Dowager teased her with a smile: "You still know how to come back? As the emperor, I will keep you until dinner time before sending you back."

"The old ancestor made fun of me again." Seeing that she was about to get up, Daiyu quickly stepped forward to help her up, took her arm, and said softly: "I know you are going to swim in the lake. The emperor is so happy. I look forward to seeing you." With this kind of interest every day, we are also lucky. It's a pity that the emperor is busy, otherwise he will follow today."

During the conversation, the Empress Dowager and Daiyu took the lead, except Tanchun and Xichun, who were mentioned by Meng Daiyu, followed behind, and everyone else walked out in the order they entered the garden.

A total of four boats are prepared in front of the pier of Xinghuachun Pavilion, three of which are slightly smaller.The first one was obviously prepared for the Empress Dowager. Looking from a distance, the top was a piece of golden yellow, faintly resembling the bright yellow glazed tiles specially used for the inner court.

Ruan Qingtian and Sun Shuqing are close friends in the boudoir, and they are whispering together at the moment.Sun Shuqing said: "Sister Ruan, look, there are glazed tiles on that boat."

When Ruan Qingtian heard the words and looked over, she also praised it in her heart, the sun shining on it was really radiant, and it looked extraordinarily gorgeous.She was about to reply when Nangong Deyin said with a sarcasm: "At least it's from Beijing, why is it so rare and strange? Even though I'm in Lanling, I know it's carved into tiles and painted with yellow lacquer. If you don't know what's going on, it's better to keep your mouth shut, why bother to make you laugh?"

As soon as this remark came out, even County Lord Qingshun felt unhappy when he heard it.County Lord Qingshun knew about it, but most of the noble ladies had never been in the garden, so they didn't know that these things were normal.Now asking Nangong Deyin to say that, it seems that they are ignorant and ignorant.

Everyone felt unhappy, especially Sun Shuqing.She didn't want to join in the fun, but her father persuaded her stepmother and insisted on sending her in.She didn't even think about staying, so she didn't leave any room for it, and said with a sneer: "It turns out that this is called laughing and generous. I understand it. But I don't understand. I was talking to Sister Ruan, so why do people always come over? I heard from my family that rushing to the top is not a business. Now that I think about it, it’s better to be generous than to humiliate myself. I am ignorant and innocent, so what does it matter if someone pushes me forward?”

"There is no cure for this." Nangong Deyin looked very indifferent, gave her a light glance, and went straight to the auxiliary boat.

Sun Shuqing made her very angry, she has a fiery temper, if it wasn't in the garden, she wouldn't be able to roll up her sleeves and hit her.

"Sister Ruan, look at her!" Sun Shuqing still remembered that she was in front of the Empress Dowager, looked around, and approached Ruan Qingtian with a sneer, "I don't know if she will be the imperial concubine."

Looking at it now, Nangong Deyin was even more rampant than County Lord Qingshun.The county head of Qingshun always inadvertently showed an air of being superior to others, but whoever called her the county head came from the county prince's mansion, and she was more respectable than ordinary people.But why Nangong Deyin?No one from the Nangong family has been an official for many years, and now there is only one official, and he is being released, what is it enough to do?What kind of aristocratic families have become in decline, and they still look up at the ground, thinking that they are superior.

Ruan Qingtian was more cautious than her, she only reassured her not to be annoyed, and said in her mouth: "Maybe she didn't mean to be sarcastic, but she was just being proud of others, and what she said changed her meaning."

But he thought in his heart that their Nangong clan's position in the aristocratic family is very detached, maybe the inner court has other ideas, and wants to keep people because of their alchemy prescription.At that time, Nangong Deyin's voice will rise, so it's unnecessary to offend her at this moment.

The noble ladies had a dispute before boarding the boat, and all of this was in Daiyu's eyes.Although she and the empress dowager saw it clearly, they just didn't know it and let them make noise.The purpose of recruiting these people is to let them commit suicide.

Daiyu followed the Empress Dowager on the main boat, and the inner court called the boats that the masters took as dragon boats.There is a bright room on the dragon boat, and the positions of the throne and feather fans are exactly the same as those of the Chunyu Pavilion.It is not only for the Empress Dowager to see the scenery clearly, but also to make her more comfortable.In addition to the Ming room, there are several other rooms at the back, which are used for changing clothes, eating, and resting.

Originally, as a queen, Daiyu shouldn't be in the same boat as the Empress Dowager. The queen has her own special dragon boat.But the emperor was very harsh on this, and wanted new ones everywhere.The overhaul of the Kunning Palace and the Changchun Immortal Pavilion is not complete, and the dragon boats and other items dedicated to the queen must be replaced with new ones.

The Empress Dowager enjoyed the scenery from a distance across the water, smiled and said to Tanchun: "The Queen's dragon boat is still under repair, so it's hard for you to follow, and accompany my old lady to enjoy the scenery on the boat."

This is a real joke, how can Tanchun not know.

He smiled immediately and said, "We are lucky to be able to accompany our ancestors on the cruise. If we say it is difficult, our ancestors really discouraged us."

The Empress Dowager patted her hand, seeing her obedient and respectful, with handsome eyes and brows, quite clever, she couldn't help but think of the imperial concubine of the deposed emperor.That is also a poor person, she was born well, she is also decent and sensible, she is really a good girl.It's a pity that she followed the wrong person and ended up like that.She could almost be said to have ordered her to die. Whenever she thought of this incident, the Empress Dowager felt sorry and regretful.Now that I saw Tanchun, I was shocked to realize that she was three points similar to Yuanchun, so I became more fond of her.

Two small boats rolled over at the same time from the left and right sides of the chamber, approaching the dragon boat almost silently.Immediately, a eunuch poked his head out, didn't speak, and only gestured to the maid standing beside the dragon boat.The maid nodded to show that she understood, and turned her head to go into the dragon boat, probably to reply.

Xichun found it interesting, straightened up quietly, and asked Daiyu in a low voice, "Ma'am, what are you doing?"

As soon as the words fell, the maid came in quietly, leaned back and replied: "Old Ancestor, it's time for snacks."

It was the first time for Daiyu to cruise with the Empress Dowager, and she didn't know it before, but after hearing this, she realized that the two boats must be the people on the copper samovar.So she whispered to Xichun: "It's the copper samovar that is in charge of the snacks used by the ancestors. They are inseparable, and they can't go away even if the sky falls."

While speaking, the Empress Dowager nodded her head, so the eunuch who punted the boat hurriedly dropped the anchor to hold the boat.Immediately, the little eunuchs on the boat handed out food boxes wrapped in yellow furoshiki, one by one, all the way to the deck, and Chen Kangqi carried them to the dragon boat table.The whole process was silent, there was no confusion at all, and it was extremely orderly.

It's just a snack, not a serious meal, so there's no need to be too formal.The empress dowager asked everyone to sit down, when suddenly a small boat rowed over quickly and stopped beside the dragon boat.Zhou Shoulian frowned, and when he stepped out of the cabin, he was about to curse, but he saw a pale young eunuch protruding from the boat, shaking like chaff.

The little eunuch's voice was trembling: "Boss Zhou, the Summer Palace has sent a message. Rongshou...Princess Rongshou...died..."
