After the banquet, everyone dispersed and returned to their own courtyards.
In the Daiyu courtyard, Zicuckoo came to fetch water. He looked at the girl sitting on the brocade tower reading a book. With a smile on his face, he greeted: "Girl, it's getting late. Stop reading and wash up first." , take a rest early!”
Daiyu nodded slightly when she heard this, put down the book in her hand, covered her face with a handkerchief, and coughed.
Zijuan frowned slightly when she saw this, and said in a worried tone: "The girl is still coughing!"
Although I have been resting for a few days, my body has relaxed a lot, but it is only two or three days. It doesn't get better so quickly. It is already good to be able to stop coughing like before.
Daiyu's heart warmed slightly when she heard this. She looked at Zicuckoo in front of her with her willow eyes and said kindly: "Good sister, my throat is just a little dry. Is there anything wrong with me?"
After hearing this, Zicuckoo felt relieved, put down the water basin, and made a cup of tea. She said happily: "Thanks to the prince, otherwise, if the girl had eaten the wine, I would have had to cough for a long time. ”
Daiyu paused as she took the tea cup. She thought of Shui Rong's actions during the banquet in her mind, and her willow eyes flashed slightly. If her brother-in-law hadn't mentioned this matter, she would definitely not be able to eat wine with dignity.
Thinking of this, Daiyu nodded lightly and said in a clear voice: "Brother-in-law cares about us younger sisters for the sake of my eldest sister."
During the few days that Daiyu stayed in the palace temporarily, she also saw the love between her brother-in-law and her sister. For her daughter's family, how could she turn a blind eye to it? After all, which daughter's family doesn't expect to treat her husband as a guest.
Zijuan's eyes flashed when she heard this, but she didn't say anything. After all, they, the maids, also knew the prince's love for the princess, but it seemed that the prince's kindness to the girl was not just because of his sister-in-law. If not, why didn't they see the prince treating her well? The second girl and the fourth girl are so good, you need to know that these two are the real sisters-in-law.
However, Zijuan didn't have much to say, so she helped Daiyu wash up.
Suddenly, the voice of snow geese came in from outside, saying that Miss Qiu Fang was here.
Daiyu's face was slightly startled when she heard this. She also knew that this Qiufang girl was Fu Qiufang who came to the palace with them last time. She was currently working as an errand beside Yuan Chun, and her identity was not that of a maid.
After a while, a tall beauty in a skirt came in, saw the master and the servant who were washing, and said softly: "Miss Lin is washing, I didn't disturb her?"
Daiyu raised her head and looked at Fu Qiufang. Her appearance was elegant and unlike ordinary people. When she saw Fu Qiufang greeting her kindly, she asked with a smile: "Why is sister Qiufang here?"
Fu Qiufang smiled and replied: "The princess asked me to deliver bird's nest porridge to Miss Lin."
Daiyu's clear eyes had a strange color. She didn't expect that the princess would send someone over just after Concubine Beijing gave her order. This was done appropriately, and it was strange that the eldest sister was like a fish in water as soon as she married into the palace.
After a deep groan, Daiyu responded in a clear voice: "I'm sorry to bother Sister Qiufang."
Zicuckoo, who had been helping Daiyu wash herself, was sensible. She quickly stood up, thanked her, and took the bird's nest porridge.
Fu Qiufang smiled lightly and said: "This is something ordered by the princess. It is my duty, so there is no need to bother me. Okay, I won't disturb my sister's rest."
With that, Fu Qiufang didn't say much, turned around and walked out of the house.
After Fu Qiufang left, Zicuckoo looked at the bird's nest porridge in her hand, feeling happy in her heart, and said with a smile: "Girl, eat the bird's nest porridge while it's hot first, and wash up later!"
Daiyu didn't say anything when she heard this. After all, the bird's nest porridge was delivered. If she didn't eat it, wouldn't it be a waste of elder sister's kindness?Zijuan looked at Daiyu eating bird's nest porridge and comforted her: "Girl, you've seen it too. You don't need to think about all the things you have and don't have in the future. Just take care of yourself."
There are not so many miscellaneous things in the palace. Both the concubine, the prince, and the princess are all kind-hearted people. Compared with when they were in the palace, there are fewer unnecessary troubles that make the girl sentimental.
Daiyu also understood what Zijuan meant, but she didn't say much. After all, they were only staying in the palace temporarily and would leave soon. Fengyiting, in the wing room, bead curtains are hanging, smoke is curling up, and the fragrance is astonishing.
On the embroidered couch, Yuan Chun leaned against Bao Qin, her jade cheeks flushed. She opened her slightly closed starry eyes and looked at the young man in front of her. She said in a slightly bored voice: "Husband, last time I was at the Rongguo Duke's Mansion. "My mother told me something, and I want to ask my husband's opinion."
Shui Rong didn't care when he heard the words. He stretched out his hand over Yuan Chun, gently pinched Bao Qin's chin, leaned over and pursed his lips, hesitantly said: "What's the matter? Let's talk about it."
Yuan Chun gave the boy an angry look, bit her pink lips lightly, and whispered: "It's not Baoyu's marriage yet. My mother had mentioned this matter to my concubine before, saying that she liked Sister Bao, but my grandmother seemed to like Sister Lin better. , Husband, which of these two sisters do you think is suitable for Baoyu?"
Shui Rong paused when he heard the words. Why did Yuanchun talk about this matter? Was it a casual comment, or did Yuanchun discover something? "Boom"
Yuanchun felt the emptiness in his heart, and gave the boy a white look with his beautiful eyes, knowing how to torment others.
Shui Rong didn't answer Yuan Chun, and wandered away, looking at the pretty and rosy Bao Qin and asked: "Which one do you think is suitable?"
Bao Qinsu held the brocade mattress in her hands and couldn't help but feel angry in her heart. She had to be oppressed by both the princess and the prince, so how could she think of replying.
But now that the prince asked, Baoqin pursed his lips and said in a trembling voice: "I am just a maid. I don't know which girl is suitable. Please don't embarrass me."
Shui Rong was extremely dissatisfied when he listened to Baoqin playing Tai Chi. He taught Baoqin a lot of lessons and said in a deep voice: "My parents ordered the matchmaker, but Baoyu's marriage still has to be decided by his father-in-law and mother-in-law."
When Yuanchun heard this, he secretly spat in his heart. There was no difference between what he said and what he didn't say. My husband was also a Tai Chi person.
After groaning, Yuanchun stared at the young man with bright eyes like stars, and said in a clear voice: "My husband thinks that Sister Bao is suitable. Sister Bao seems to be steady and peaceful. She is indeed good. I will talk to my mother next time."
Since the husband said that it was his parents who made the decision, the mother was attracted to Baochai. Seeing how her husband responded, she was not jealous, but just wanted to find out what her husband was thinking. As a woman, she always had a vague feeling. She originally guessed that Sister Baochai, But today, this man's concern for Sister Lin made Yuanchun a little suspicious of Sister Lin.
Thinking that her husband has very little contact with Sister Bao in daily life, it must be her delusion.
If so, that would be good. Yuanchun still liked Baochai quite a lot. It was not that he felt that Daiyu was not good, but that Baochai, as a good wife and mother, was more suitable for Baoyu.
Moreover, Sister Lin's body is indeed much more delicate, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to have children, so she is not suitable for Baoyu.
However, she admired Daiyu's temperament, and she also saw Baoyu's recognition of Daiyu's affection and grandmother, so she couldn't make up her mind for a while. If her husband liked one of the two sisters, she would simply marry her husband and the other. It just so happens that you marry Baoyu, you have the best of both worlds, you can’t have both husbands fall in love with her!
Shui Rong frowned when he heard the words, what a joke, half of Baochai's body is his, how can others get involved.
It's just that it's hard to explain this matter clearly. You can't say that I have an affair with your aunt and cousin. This makes Yuan Chun how to deal with himself. Sometimes you don't need to explain some things, but it is better for everyone. As long as each other is aware of it.
Thinking of this, Shui Rong became silent. When he had some free time, he spoke to Baochai and asked him to reassure Aunt Xue. After all, Aunt Xue must agree to this matter. If she didn't agree, it would not be possible. . (End of chapter)
