Daiyu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 393 Returning to the Palace Banquet Another Autumn

Concubine Zhen's filial piety was less than ten days old, and the fourth prince and the imperial censor, Mr. Dong, were married by order. The new fourth prince met the legendary Yulin County Lord at the Mid-Autumn Palace banquet on the second day after getting married. He couldn't help but stop, and carefully looked at it from beginning to end.

The eyebrows are not dark enough, the eyes are not as big as my own, the lips are too pale and not red enough, and the figure is a bit thin, so the black hair and fair skin can make people look a little bit attractive.The big stone in the fourth prince's concubine's heart suddenly fell to the ground. Even if the fourth prince had any thoughts about the person in front of him in the past, now that he saw her, he would definitely change his opinion.

The fourth concubine, Dong Shi, raised the corners of her lips and nodded to Daiyu, and said with a smile, "Is this the Lord of Yulin County? You really have admired her name for a long time."

Daiyu had never met this fourth prince's concubine in the past, when the fourth prince got married, Daiyu's identity was a bit embarrassing, so she didn't go.

At this moment, Daiyu saw that the visitor was wearing a phoenix tin with pearls and tassels, a pair of earrings with east pearls, blessings and tassels, and the dress of the princess of the county. She knew that the identity of the visitor must be unknown in the clan, but she didn't know how to address her for a while, so she couldn't help being stunned. After being taken aback, he squatted down to salute.

Seeing that Daiyu was hesitant in saluting, Princess Jin raised her eyebrows, and was about to say something, when someone greeted her, "Why don't Princess Jin come over?" She said with a smile as if she had just discovered Daiyu, "This is not Yulin County. Lord?" The visitor looked at Daiyu and then turned to Princess Jin with a smile, "I don't know why I couldn't find you, so I hid here with Lord Yulin."

After hearing this, Concubine Jin Dong pretended to be reserved and smiled and said, "Where did you hide? It just happened to be here that I met the head of Yulin County." Speaking of this, she seemed to remember that Daiyu was still squatting, Salute her.Then he laughed exaggeratedly and said: "Look at me! Seeing that Miss Shen is so happy, she actually forgot the Lord of Yulin County."

Speaking of this, Princess Jin Dong took half a step forward, and said with a little support: "Master Yulin, please, those who don't know think that I deliberately made things difficult for you, but it is my fault."

The Miss Shen that Princess Jin spoke of had no relationship with this Dong family. Seeing this, she raised her eyebrows and sneered, "It is the duty of the county magistrate to salute the concubine, so why not? Is it true that the magistrate of Yulin County is special, so she doesn't have to pay her respects to the concubine?" salute?"

Apparently the words of Miss Shen pleased Princess Jin again, Princess Jin raised her eyebrows at Miss Shen, covered her mouth with a smile and said, "Miss Shen probably doesn't know yet, but our Yulin is very much loved by the Holy Majesty and the Empress. Woolen cloth!"

That Miss Shen pursed her lips and was about to say something, but someone laughed and said, "Isn't this Princess Jin and Yulin? What are you talking about?"

Miss Shen and Princess Jin looked at the people who came, Daiyu had already bowed again and said: "Yulin sees Princess Allergy!" Speaking of this Princess Min, Daiyu has only met Princess Min twice.

One time was at the press conference after his wedding ceremony, Princess Wujun pointed it out to him. At that time, Princess Min was sitting not far from Princess Eight.Daiyu still remembered that Princess Min once spent thousands of dollars to buy a set of clothes for the Glory Clothes Pavilion.The second time was at the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet last year, when Princess Min was sitting next to Princess Seven...

Even though Princess Jin is still a princess now, she is a junior after all, so she stepped forward and saluted, "See Princess Allergy." Princess Min nodded to her, and said with a smile: "Come on, the empress and all the princesses are here. .” He said as if he hadn’t seen the girl Shen who was behind Princess Jin, and smiled at Daiyu: “Yulin’s clothes are really beautiful.”

Hearing what Princess Min said, Princess Jin and Miss Shen had no choice but to turn their attention to what they had deliberately ignored before.

Daiyu is wearing a silver gilt beaded corolla on her head today, a moon-white ground with engraved gold and hundreds of butterflies wearing a brocade jacket with flowers and clouds, and a pleated skirt with willow leaf pattern cloud satin, refreshing but not luxurious.There are pearl and white jade rings hanging on the ears, which are small and exquisite, supporting a face that is more white and lustrous.The waist is tied with double fish pei, which contrasts with the willow leaf pattern on the skirt.

Especially on the silver gilt collar on the chest, there are three green bean-sized pearls in the shape of three flowers, and an oriental pearl bigger than a thumb is hanging below it. The concubine couldn't help but take a second look.

Daiyu said with a smile: "Prince Min is too famous, she has nothing to do when she is free, so she can only play with these useless things." Princess Min raised her eyebrows and smiled: "Since Yulin is so idle, she will accompany me another day How about going to your mother's Rongyun Nishang Pavilion? I don't know what new products have been released recently, I haven't gone shopping for a long time."

From the corner of Daiyu's eyes, she glanced at Miss Shen who was still squatting down to salute, and smiled coldly in her heart, since everyone is taking advantage of the situation, and I am not rushing to beg Princess Min to come over, why should I refuse?Then he smiled and said: "Look at what Princess Min said, you are going, send someone to tell me, why don't Yu'er go and wait early?"

Princess Min stretched out her hand to gently pinch Daiyu's face, and said with a smile: "No wonder your mother and concubine always talk about you everywhere! This little mouth is really likable." Then she took Daiyu by the hand. Yu's hand, walked forward, and never looked at Miss Shen who was still squatting from the beginning to the end.

After walking a long way, Daiyu smiled softly: "Princess Xie Min helped Yu'er out of the siege today." Princess Min glanced at her sideways, covered her mouth with a smile, and said, "You're a clever girl, but I'm not doing it for you." You made a rescue because you simply don't like that Miss Shen."

After finishing speaking, Princess Min paused and said: "But Yu'er agreed to accompany me to the Rongyun Nishang Pavilion! Don't forget it when you run out."

Since Princess Min took the lead in expressing enough kindness, why would Daiyu refuse?Besides, if you know more people and make more friends, you may be able to help you someday.Then he smiled and said: "Princess Min, don't worry, since Yu'er has agreed, she won't break her promise and get fat."

The two were chatting and laughing when the Seventh Princess also came over and said with a smile: "Hanyi dare not come out now, and Yu'er is not interested in coming to see me, and I thought you would not come today! Why do you just follow me?" We, Princess Min, have gone together?"

Daiyu and Concubine Min looked at each other, and said with a smile: "It's just a coincidence that Concubine Min is just saying that she wants to invite you to our Rongyun Nishang Pavilion to have a look! Two batches of new products have been released recently, maybe the Seventh Concubine can just see them up?"

The Seventh Concubine raised her eyebrows and glanced at Daiyu, without saying a word, she turned to Concubine Min with a smile and said: "Where did they decide what you wear? Tell me how much money you have thrown at them over the past year? "

Concubine Min is wearing a crow-blue thin jacket with gold rims on both sides today, embroidered with grape patterns all over, the grapes are full and magnificent in color, from yellow to grass green, from lavender to rose red, scattered but not messy.

She is wearing twelve emerald-colored gold-sprinkled Hunan skirts, echoing the emerald peonies inlaid with red agate on her head.Two small hollowed-out butterfly hairpins made of red gold with hundreds of treasures add a bit of fun to this outfit.

At night, the shiny and transparent jade bracelets and the three jade necklaces of different lengths on the chest showed graceful luxury.On the other hand, there is a pair of earrings carved in red gold with hundreds of flowers, which are very unique and serve as the finishing touch.

Concubine Min looked at her attire, shook her head and smiled wryly, "You don't know, where they have new products coming out one after another. Fortunately, these styles are all marked as unique, otherwise I wouldn't dare to buy them, but even just now After they bought it back, they released new products, no matter how hard they chased them, they couldn't catch up." Princess Min also covered her mouth and laughed.

In the following palace banquet, Daiyu was almost always with Seventh Concubine and Concubine Min. They were not commenting on the quality of the dishes in the palace, the taste of the tea, or discussing the matching of clothes and the choice of patterns. They didn't find it boring.

When the palace banquet was over, Daiyu went to bid farewell to the queen. The fifth prince happened to come over. Seeing Daiyu, he yelled crisply: "Senior sister!".

The Fifth Prince went to school with Huang Jiyun for many days, but he never rushed towards Daiyu like in the past.Instead, he stood beside the empress, with the corners of his eyes crooked and narrowed into a smile, looking at Daiyu from a distance.The fifth prince's voice was still so crisp, and Daiyu couldn't help showing a sweet smile.

After saluting the queen and the fifth prince, the fifth prince couldn't wait to help Daiyu up and said: "Senior sister, you don't need to be too polite!" Then he raised his head and asked: "Sister Yu doesn't come to see me in the palace these days. I brought a lot of albums drawn by Sister Yu, and Chengli likes them so much, when Sister Yu will come to the palace to draw with Chengli!"

Hearing Chengli mention that Daiyu hadn't entered the palace for a long time, the empress's eyes also darkened. I don't know if it was because the eldest princess slapped Daiyu, or because the Holy Majesty wanted to make the emperor's eldest grandson, so Daiyu I won't come to the palace anymore...

Thinking of the eldest prince concubine, the empress couldn't help but sigh. Not long after the elder prince left, the eldest prince concubine fell ill. Huang Jiyun was different from male to female. He refused to take the pulse of the eldest prince concubine on the grounds that he was not an imperial physician. The emperor was not good either. demand.

After all, Huang Jiyun is an important minister of the imperial court, a minister with the upper hand!It's not the imperial doctor in the imperial infirmary... where can you force it?Now the eldest concubine is getting worse.Thinking of the young grandson of the emperor, the queen felt a little heartbroken, moved the corners of her mouth, and wanted Daiyu to invite Huang Jiyun to come and have a look, but she couldn't say it.

Daiyu exchanged a few pleasantries with the queen, and then stopped talking. The queen looked much older and thinner than a year ago... Daiyu felt very sad, but tried not to say more questions.

The queen saw Daiyu's silence, and she was also silent for a while.Especially when thinking of the past, even though she was not often in front of her, she always had a cute smile on her face, and never forgot herself when she gained anything, now...

The fifth prince spoke very excitedly, from going to the study room, to riding the shooting range, from eating to playing, he wished he could share everything with Daiyu, and Daiyu only listened to the fifth prince quietly with a smile.Until someone came to say goodbye again, Dai Yufang left the palace with them.

After leaving the palace gate, Daiyu couldn't help but look back at the tall vermilion palace wall.How could Daiyu not see the loneliness in the queen's eyes?Thinking of the empress' love for her in the past, Daiyu also felt depressed and sad.But since it was decided to stay away from the palace, the government, and all these right and wrong, then that's the only way...

Daiyu closed her eyes, got into the carriage, and the carriage dragged her back to the Marquis of Yongding Mansion. She had to stay in the Marquis of Yongding Mansion tonight, and she would leave the city tomorrow morning.

In the dead of night, through the window lattice, looking at the round and bright moon in the sky, Daiyu couldn't help feeling a little miss, got up, lit the lamp, and wrote letters to people far away.

In the past few months, Daiyu seems to have found the feeling of being a pen pal in her previous life. She greets each other, tells each other what's going on, and then talks about topics that both of them are interested in. Sometimes she misses faintly, and the relationship with Mo Xuan is more and more became familiar.
