Chapter 570 Daiyu: How many boudoirs are there in the world?
Ningguo Mansion, Tianxiang Tower
Qinghe Princess Li Chanyue entered the building with Yuanchun, Sister Feng, and surrounded by several female officials and nuns. Today, the little princess wore a pink-colored double-breasted lotus skirt, and her soft and elegant blue hair was combed with a girl's unique hair.
With her hair in a bun with bangs, she has a beautiful face with a thin layer of powder, but she looks like a clear water hibiscus. Youth is the best powder.
"Sister, this is my first time to come to your house. This garden looks really beautiful." Li Chanyue had a look of novelty on her face. She looked around with bright eyes at the colorful flowers planted in the garden. At her feet was a pair of green-bottomed shoes with auspicious cloud patterns.
Embroidered shoes, stepping on the stone path paved with blue cobblestones.
Yuan Chun held Li Chanyue's little hand, with a round and white face, and said with a smile: "This is the first time for the little princess to come here. It may feel strange, but in fact this garden is not as big as the princess's house."
Yuan Chun had no objection to what Li Chanyue said about "your family". She and Hengdi were almost like husband and wife. Wasn't Ningguo Mansion her family?
Sister Feng ordered her nanny to carry a brocade box containing various gold hairpins and jewelry from behind, and secretly looked at Princess Qinghe with a pair of charming red phoenix eyes.
This was the first time she had seen Princess Qinghe. She was petite and exquisite, and her features were quiet but not deserted. Compared with the Princess Xianning who was also a noblewoman of Tianhuang some time ago, she looked more approachable.
While they were talking, Yuan Chun had already led Li Chanyue into the attic of Tianxiang Tower.
"Madam, grandma, the eldest lady is bringing people over." Several nuns reported to Jia Mu, Qin Keqing and others with a smile.
Jia Mu and others looked up from the wooden ladder and saw Yuan Chun holding Li Chanyue's little hand, bypassing a screen with paintings of ladies, and appeared in front of everyone.
The girl is wearing a pink dress, like a graceful lotus with neither vines nor branches.
Everyone's eyes lit up, and they stared at the little princess, and saw that her features were gloomy, just like the water of Xiaoxiang, as charming as the water of Xiaoxiang.
Tan Chun lowered his head and chuckled in Daiyu's ear: "Sister Lin, this little princess looks a bit like her elder sister."
Daiyu's starry eyes turned an angry look at Tanchun, feeling ashamed and annoyed.
Everything is like her character.
"Chanyue has met Mrs. Rongguo." Li Chanyue raised her eyes and looked at the girls and daughters-in-law of the Jia family. As Yuanchun bowed to Jia's mother, her voice was soft and soft, crisp and waxy, and there was no
The pride of a royal daughter.
Baochai frowned, and Bai Haitang's face showed surprise. This was the little princess of Qinghe, who looked quite quiet.
Daiyu looked at the little girl again, her eyes shining with curiosity under her curved eyebrows, and a thought suddenly came to her mind.
How many boudoirs are there in the world?
There is the Princess of Xianning in the front, and the Princess of Chanyue in the back. No wonder the ancients said that within ten steps, there must be grass.
No wonder he always... When he remembered, he went to her place to sit there. He couldn't remember her, and he didn't see her for ten and a half months.
Compared with Baoyu who always surrounded Daiyu, Jia Heng was sometimes too busy to forget that he left Daiyu to dry for ten days and a half. He was the kind of person who could not see anyone at all. In the words of later generations, "If he doesn't come to me,
He probably died." The feeling of déjà vu.
Therefore, Daiyu didn't know that the ancients still said that Zhilan was in power and had to hoe.
Xiangyun tilted his little head, blinked his almond-shaped eyes, and looked at Li Chanyue curiously.
"Princess, please get up quickly." Jia Mu stood up and seemed to reach out for support. She smiled and said: "Since the day of King Wei's concubine ceremony, I haven't seen the princess for a while? I don't know what happened to the eldest princess recently.
How is it?"
Although she had met Princess Jinyang and her daughter at festivals, Jia's mother was not familiar with them, which meant that she did not have much contact with them.
Now Princess Qinghe comes to visit her in person, which is unprecedented and the first time.
But thinking about it, they have been friends for many years. After all, the eldest girl has been with the eldest princess as a female official of praise, and brother Heng also goes there from time to time.
"Thank you for your regards, my mother. My mother is doing well recently. The emperor's uncle has been ill these days. The queen mother is worried about her, so my mother and I often go to the palace to see the queen mother." Li Chanyue greeted Jia Mu, and then
Yuanchun held hands and sat in front of Xiangyun and Daiyu, but his longing eyes fell on Qin Keqing's face.
I had met Qin Keqing in the palace, and now they looked at each other and nodded.
Yuanchun turned around and softly introduced Baochai, Daiyu and several sisters. Since Chai and Dai were guests, he introduced Daiyu and Baochai first.
Among the many warblers and swallows in the Jia family, Daiyu and Baochai are indescribably unworldly in appearance, temperament, and demeanor.
"I've met the little princess." Daiyu said softly.
Li Chanyue looked at Daiyu, looked at each other, and called out: "Hello, Sister Lin."
The girl named Daiyu in front of her has gloomy eyebrows and a frown at the top of her eyebrows, just like the Xi Shi mentioned in the ancient book.
Baochai looked at Li Chanyue at this moment, her moist apricot eyes slightly rippling, and she lost consciousness for a moment.
At this moment, I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart.
First it was Princess Xianning, and now it is Princess Qinghe. Not only the rewards come one after another, but also the noble daughters of the clan outside are given one after another.
Fortunately, he got married early. No matter what happens, these princesses and princesses will never get into his home. Otherwise, can they still be his concubines?
Thinking of this, Baochai pursed her lips and breathed a sigh of relief.
"This is Sister Xue, she should be older than you." Yuan Chun introduced Baochai and said.
"Hello, Sister Xue." Li Chanyue looked at the girl across from her with fair skin and smooth muscles, and praised: "Sister is so white, as if she is a snowdrift, and she also looks elegant and behaves well."
In fact, I want to say that she is almost as young as her aunt, both of whom are snow beauties.
When Baochai heard this, her plump and white cheeks flushed, and she smiled lightly and said: "The princess is too praised, the princess is the beauty of a Luan and a phoenix, and the bearing of a noble woman."
Seeing the two people talking, Aunt Xue was very happy.
She is both a princess and a princess, befitting the girls and sisters in her family, and will be able to take more care of her in the future.
At this moment, Mrs. Wang held the Buddhist beads tightly and stared at Li Chanyue. The more she looked at her, the more she fell in love with her.
Looking at Wen Wen Jingjing, the little princess seemed to be a well-educated and courteous person. She went to the palace several times to see her and liked it, so she promised Baoyu...
Thinking of this, I can't help but think of the eldest princess of Jinyang. The two old witches from the Liguo family and the Zhenguo family had a quarrel that day. She also helped their families speak. Now the eldest daughter of her family is doing things beside her, like this
The eldest girl can help make a match and let Uncle Heng persuade her, so she might be able to achieve a good marriage.
Li Chanyue talked to Baochai, then looked at Tanchun, looked into those clear and piercing eyes, and said softly: "Mr. Xiao Jia often mentions his sister, saying that he has a good sister who helps him."
I'm busy, I guess it's Sister Tanchun."
Tan Chun chuckled and said: "I just helped Brother Heng do some trivial things, so I don't deserve the princess's praise. Before Brother Heng went on the expedition, I met His Highness Xianning. He was really heroic and a heroine."
Then, under Yuanchun's recommendation, Li Chanyue met several sisters such as Xing Xiuyan, Yingchun, and Xichun, as well as Qin Keqing, Li Wan, Sister Feng, Aunt Xue, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, and others. Even Miaoyu clasped her palms together.
I met Li Chanyue and met them one by one.
Fortunately, Li Chanyue had developed the ability to recognize and remember people at the palace banquets over the years. Otherwise, just after getting to know each other for a while, her head would have grown big.
Seeing that Li Chanyue had a brief acquaintance with the female family members, Jia Mu asked with a smile: "Princess, what are the rules for rewards in the palace this time? Yesterday I just rewarded brocade, and now I reward tea and jewelry?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone stopped talking and laughing and looked at Li Chanyue in confusion.
They originally wanted to know the reasons for the rewards, and how the palace gave out one reward after another.
Li Chanyue said softly: "Yesterday, it was because Mr. Xiao Jia came to Luoyang. I heard that more than three million stones and grains were confiscated. At this time, the rice grains needed to quell the chaos and appease the people in Henan were solved. In the future, the court will not need to go to Henan again.
Rice and grain have been allocated, but now it’s..."
As he spoke, he paused deliberately, paying attention to the changes in everyone's facial expressions.
Qin Keqing couldn't help but ask: "Little princess, what is this person?"
Baochai's beautiful eyebrows were raised and she stared closely at Li Chanyue.
Miaoyu, who was sitting on Jia Mu's right hand side, had her clear eyes flashing with concern.
The little princess Li Chanyue took in the eyes of the people present and felt a little disappointed. From these expressions alone, there was no clue.
Because they all had expressions of expectation and joy, whether it was a young girl or a young daughter-in-law wearing a woman's bun, or even Mother Jia and Aunt Xue.
How to screen and identify this?
Well, Sister Yuanchun's mother didn't pay much attention to her, and even showed a bit of imperceptible contempt.
"Mr. Xiao Jia sent the cavalry to Sishui Pass in advance and wiped out three thousand cavalry raiders. Jinyi Mansion sent a successful report early in the morning, and the first battle was successful." The Qingling voice of the little princess Li Chanyue sounded.
Although he didn't say much about what happened next, everyone present also understood.
Victory in the first battle!
No wonder the palace rewards tea and jewelry.
In addition, more than three million stones of rice and grain were previously recovered. Wouldn’t the palace be overjoyed and receive frequent rewards?
Tan Chunying's charming face was overflowing with joy, and her voice had the tenderness and elegance of a girl in her prime: "Old ancestors, sister-in-law, we have three million stones of rice. After the war, we have enough rice to appease you. There is no need for the imperial court to transport it thousands of miles."
, now that the three thousand bandits have been wiped out again, the time when the chaos in Henan will be put down is not far away."
"Sister Tanchun is very knowledgeable. Uncle Huang also said so." Li Chanyue looked at Tanchun with dazzling eyes. Looking at the heroic girl, she thought to herself, and as expected, Mr. Jia mentioned that this was his daughter's book.
, not only is she as heroic as her sister in life, but her knowledge is also extraordinary and comparable to that of a boudoir girl.
Qin Keqing breathed a sigh of relief, and the worry on his face slowly dissipated.
The second sister You tightened her handkerchief and relaxed slightly. Her charming and beautiful eyebrows were raised slightly, which seemed to be a bit charming. When she turned to look at her sister, she saw that the third sister's face was already like a peach blossom.
Eyes as charming as silk.
Second Sister You frowned, feeling ashamed and annoyed. She stretched out her hand and pinched her sister who suddenly became angry, indicating that there were still people around.
Third Sister You turned her beautiful eyes to look at Second Sister You, her soft eyes filled with joy.
She has finished writing the volume of Sui and Tang Dynasty stories. The things he promised to her must be fulfilled after the victory, otherwise she will take it for herself...
A faint smile appeared on Sister Feng's face, and she said: "Brother Heng, let me tell you, Brother Heng will not keep anything secret, and he can win a big victory. What are you worried about these days?
Similar."
In the past few days, she and Ke Qing slept in the same room and talked with them until late at night.
Mother Jia smiled and said: "Brother Heng, how has he not been like this before? When he comes back this time, there is no doubt that he will be granted a title again. Our Jia family is a family with two kingdoms. Brother Heng is so young, and his future future is limitless.
"
As long as the deputy envoy of the Beijing Camp who is under twenty years old keeps winning battles, he will be promoted to the title of Marquis of Wu and Duke of the Kingdom in the near future.
Baochai gently licked her plump and bright cherry lips, and secretly recited the Buddha's name for Jia Heng in her heart, just when she heard what Jia's mother said about the title.
If you achieve meritorious service, you can ask for a marriage...
Well, why is she thinking about this thing again?
Now, if he has achieved merit, he should be promoted to a noble title as soon as possible. She will live in the garden with her sisters in the future and will not be in a hurry to cross the border.
Just when he was feeling uneasy, he saw a pair of soft and flowing eyes looking towards him, with a bit of tenderness like water.
It was Qin Keqing's gaze.
Miaoyu's bright eyes flashed, her hand that was hiding in her Taoist robe slightly loosened her grip on the Buddha beads, and she secretly recited the Infinite Life Sutra, but she breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously.
It would be great if everything is safe for him.
Mrs. Xing's face paused slightly, and she glanced at her niece, who looked quiet and gentle.
At this moment, Xing Xiuyan was dressed in a bright red background, a light green round-neck robe with magnolia embroidery and a white collar, and a long water-red skirt. She was gorgeous but not charming, bright and moving, and there was a faint smile on her face, as if she was for the people in Tianxiang Tower.
The atmosphere is infected.
Mrs. Xing's eyes moved, thinking, Brother Heng's daughter-in-law seemed to like Xiuyan very much, and she even bought her such nice clothes. So... promised to Brother Heng?
It is said that it is not good for girls in her family to be concubines, because their status is too low and they are almost worthless.
But since something happened to the master, she is helpless in the house. If she wants to live a more peaceful life in the next life, she needs to follow the example of a certain royal family member and marry her niece in, preferably as an equal wife or something.
.
Although a common wife is not recognized by the government, she is regarded as a noble concubine privately, and her status is second only to the head wife. She is much better than other maids taken as concubines.
Moreover, although Uncle Heng has a stubborn temper, he will not kill him as long as he is not provoked. As for the past grudges, they are the troubles planted by him and have nothing to do with her.
Besides, he never took her to heart, otherwise the past grudges should be retaliated now.
Mrs.
Not to mention other things, she offended Brother Heng again and again, and she didn't see Brother Heng being cruel, which shows that she is not a vicious person.
It has to be said that the irony is that Jia Heng's "tolerance" of Mrs. Wang also played a role in calming people's hearts by saying, "Yong Chi Shanghou, I belong to the family without any trouble."
Daiyu looked at Li Chanyue expectantly and asked softly: "Princess Princess, does she know when Brother Heng will be back?"
After hearing this, everyone who was originally in high spirits mostly stopped talking and laughing, and all looked at the little princess.
Li Chanyue said softly: "Although we won the first battle, I heard from the emperor's uncle that there are still 50,000 to 60,000 thieves and bandits entrenched in Kaifeng Mansion. We can wait until Mr. Jia recovers Kaifeng, captures the bandit leader, and then pacifies the place. After all, there is no way
It will take a month or two."
Mother Jia smiled and nodded: "I hope to come back soon. This is outside. Although good news often spreads, it is also scary."
Sister Feng said with a smile: "Isn't that right? You don't show it at ordinary times, but once this person leaves, it seems like there is no backbone in the family."
Sanjie You glanced at Sister Feng and said to herself, "It's as if you two are just a couple."
Everyone agreed.
Jia Mujian talked for a while, glanced at the sky, and said with a chuckle: "It's already noon at this time, and it's time to have lunch. Yuanyang, go and have someone prepare a meal to entertain the princess."
Yuanyang responded with a smile and went away with the maid.
…
…
Beijing Palace, back garden
It is the time of late spring, and the garden is ablaze with purples and reds, and the flowers are fragrant and pleasant, especially the peach blossoms on one tree, which are in full bloom, as bright as fire and as gorgeous as brocade.
In an octagonal pavilion with cornices and brackets, the square beams and columns are covered with light yellow curtains. There is a lacquered wooden table inside, on which are placed pens, inks, papers, inkstones and other items.
Princess Zhen Xue of Beijing held a writing brush in her hand and looked at the copybook. Her youngest daughter, Shui Xin, was sitting on a long wooden bench under the railing not far away. Accompanied by several nuns, she was eating fruit and looking at the vegetation in the garden.
At this moment, from the stone path shaded by flower trees, a nanny about forty years old, wearing an azure satin dress, came quickly. She approached and called with a smile: "Princess, Princess Chu is here.
.”
Zhen Xue put down her pen, and under the rolled-up clouds on her temples, her bright face reflected the sunlight, adding a touch of beauty to the spring-filled back garden.
Not long after, Princess Chu Zhen Qing came to the garden surrounded by several maids and maids. Before anyone arrived, she smiled and said, "Sister, it's such a beautiful spring day. It's really fun to write a book in the garden."
Woolen cloth."
The two sisters were already close to each other and were married in Shenjing. Now that the King of Beijing is away, the King of Chu often goes to Weinan County to supervise the construction of the imperial mausoleum. After being away for more than half a month, Zhen Qing gets bored at home and often comes over to visit.
Playing around with Zhen Xue.
"I was bored for a while, so I looked for Mr. Yuzhang's copybook and started copying it. How come my sister has time to come here today?" Zhen Xue smiled brightly, like a beautiful flower.
Zhen Qing came at a leisurely pace, sat down and asked, "Sister, do you know what happened in Beijing these two days?"
"This..." Zhen Xue took the tea cup from the female officer and said with a smile: "I have been at home with Xin'er for the past two days and have not paid attention to things outside. Why is there something happening in Beijing recently?
Isn’t it news?”
My sister is also crazy for some reason. Every time she comes over, she always talks to her about Jia Ziyu. It shouldn't be the case this time, right?
Zhen Qing said softly: "Yesterday, my sister must have heard about the fact that the Zhenguo family was beaten and sentenced."
Zhen Xue took a sip of tea and thought to herself, it doesn't seem to be the case this time. She said softly: "The Niu family handed over a false petition for merit, which delayed the military plane and caused the trouble the day before yesterday. I don't know how to deal with it?"
A few days ago, the emperor vomited blood and fainted at the ceremony for the conferment of the imperial concubine by King Wei, causing uproar in the city. There is no way this matter could have started or ended.
Zhen Qing's face was covered with frost, and she said in a cold voice: "My father's treatment of the Niu family was not only a petition for merit, but also a traitor and a traitor, deceiving the king. Now the Niu family was not only expelled, but also barbarized.
Three tribes.”
The Duke of Zhenguo had never voted for the prince and had no mercy.
Zhen Xue's expression changed, she sighed faintly, and lamented: "Why is it so miserable to destroy three tribes?"
Zhen Qing said softly: "The chaos in Henan and the rotten situation are inseparable from the Niu family! Besides, it would be a grave sin to make my father faint in anger! My sister knows that there will be no one left in the Niu family after this collapse.
Even Princess Nan'an's family and those other families didn't say a word to plead for mercy."
Niu Jizong turned himself into a thief and deceived the emperor. The evidence of his crime was conclusive, so the Zhenguo Duke's mansion collapsed. There was no one in the houses of Ruli Guogong, Zhiguo and the Nan'an Princess to help him.
Zhen Xue was silent for a moment, with a hint of sadness on her face, and said: "A few days ago, Mrs. Zhenguo took her daughter-in-law to see the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother didn't see them either. Yesterday, Mrs. Zhenguo went to the mansion of Duke Zhenguo.
, and even sent my nanny to come and visit me, probably because she wanted me to come to the palace to plead for mercy."
"Has sister seen them?" Zhen Qing asked.
Zhen Xue shook her head and sighed: "Your Majesty is not at home. I am a woman, so it is not easy for me to get involved in the things ahead."
Zhen Qing nodded and said: "Sister, this is the right thing to do. The Chu family in the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion also came to me for help yesterday, but I didn't see it. Sure enough, last night, the father in the palace descended with thunder.
I heard that the Jia family was rewarded with two large carriages and silk fabrics yesterday. This morning, I heard that the palace and Kunning Palace also rewarded the Jia family with many things. This kind of favor is really endless."
"Why do you keep admiring it?" Zhen Xue heard this, her heart moved, and she asked.
"I admired it this morning because Jia Ziyu deployed elite cavalry at Sishui Pass and annihilated three thousand bandits while waiting for work." Zhen Qing said with an excited face, and she couldn't help but feel the slightest hint of joy in her tone.
The fighting strength of the Beijing camp has been established. It would be great if the Beijing camp supports the prince.
"Annihilate three thousand enemies in one battle?" Zhen Xue frowned and said in surprise.
Zhen Qing looked complicated and said: "For this matter, the palace sent out internal eunuchs and gave Rongning and Ningfu tea and jewelry. Yesterday I was admiring the brocade and said that the debts were recovered from the Wei and Zheng dynasties in Henan.
Pay taxes and grain, and now Henan will have no shortage of military supplies to quell the chaos."
Thinking of this, he sighed in his heart. This Jia Ziyu was really lucky. How come he happened to encounter the Wei and Zheng dynasties who owed taxes and grain?
Zhen Xue thought for a while and said softly: "In the past few days, this matter has been discussed in Beijing. If Henan can calm down the chaos as soon as possible, people can calm down earlier."
Zhen Qing nodded and said, "Sister, did you know that sister Xianning also followed him to Henan?"
Zhen Xue said softly: "Princess Xianning went to Henan, didn't she say it was for the uncles of the Song family? The four uncles of the Song family are in Xiangfu County, Kaifeng Prefecture. Now that Kaifeng has fallen, I heard that some of them are missing. This matter has made the queen and the noble concubine a lot of people.
The empress is thinking about you."
"That's what I said, but it may not have other intentions." Zhen Qing said softly with a faint look.
"Other intentions?"
Zhen Qing said: "Sister, don't you know? In fact, I also heard some female officials in the palace talking about it, saying that Princess Xianning is probably attracted to him, and my father has no objection, and she has some intentions of recruiting him as her consort."
Zhen Xue frowned and said in a low voice: "Then Jia Ziyu is married, right? His wife is the daughter of Qin Ye's family, the minister of the Ministry of Industry. We met last time, and she is just like a lady."
"But my father granted me the marriage, so why did I have to let Jia Heng marry Xianning?" Zhen Qing frowned, and her heart was filled with a thick layer of haze.
If Jia Ziyu marries Princess Xianning, the relationship with the King of Wei who is watching the government in the Five Cities Military and Horse Division will be one step closer.
At that time, Jia Ziyu was in charge of the capital camp and was favored by his father. I was afraid that the prince... would be in an even more unfavorable situation.
"Sister, you are worrying too much. If you are forced to divorce your wife, you will be trapped in an unkind and unjust situation." Zhen Xue put down the tea cup in her hand and said softly: "I think that Jia Ziyu has an upright character and is unyielding.
I will agree, and besides, the palace will not force the cow's head to drink water."
She had nothing to do these past few days, flipping through the Three Kingdoms dialect book written by Jia Ziyu. She said that she was not very interested in these things before.
fan.
Therefore, she felt that the book was like a person, with a strong character, and she would never abandon a poor wife in order to follow a dragon and a phoenix.
Listening to her sister's words of praise for that person, Zhen Qing's beautiful eyes shone under her beautiful eyebrows, and she said softly: "Sister, after lunch later, let's go to Jia's house to sit with Grandma Heng.
how?"
Zhen Xue's face paused slightly and was about to speak.
Shui Xin, who was playing with her grandma, chuckled and said, "Mom, are you going to Jia's house? I think Aunt Yun and Aunt Lin are here."
"You see, Xinxin also likes the girls in their family. Speaking of which, if we were in Jinling, our family would have many girls and it would be very lively." Zhen Qing said with a smile.
