Red Mansion Beijingwang

Chapter 192 Daiyu: I won’t let you go
Imperial City, Qianqing Palace.

In the solemn palace, eunuchs and maids stood respectfully. Emperor Yongkang, wearing an apricot-yellow robe, sat in front of the royal case, holding a red script in his hand, reading the memorials carefully, and writing notes from time to time.

The eunuch walked in with small steps on tiptoes, trying not to make a sound, and Fu Shen said: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Yong is outside the palace asking for an audience."

Emperor Yongkang had ten sons in total. Five of them died young or died of illness, and now there are five princes left. The second son, King Yong, is named Shui Querk, and his biological mother is the late Empress Zhang.

The third son, Lewang Shuiqi, and the sixth son, Anwang Shuiqi, are brothers. Their biological mother is the current queen, Empress Zhou, so they are also the legitimate sons of the royal family.

The biological mother of the eighth son, Prince Kang Shuiying, was the imperial concubine Shufei, and the other was the still young tenth prince, Shui Zi.

Emperor Yongkang nodded slightly when he heard the words, and still looked at the memorial with his bright eyes, and casually said: "Xuan."

Not long after, a young man in his twenties, with a stern face, aquiline nose, and thin lips, walked in wearing a python robe, kowtowed and said, "My father, I wish you well."

At this time, Emperor Yongkang put down the Zhubu in his hand, lowered his eyes and looked at King Yong in the hall, and said with a slightly friendly tone: "Yueer, if you are not recuperating in the mansion, why are you here."

A few years ago, King Yong fell seriously ill, so he has been recuperating in the palace.

King Yong, who was kneeling on the ground, felt warm in his heart when he saw Emperor Yongkang's gentle expression. It should be known that Emperor Yongkang always looked majestic and it was rare to see such tenderness.

Pursing his lips, King Yong said respectfully: "Father, my son's illness has recovered, so I came to pay my respects to Father."

Emperor Yongkang frowned when he heard this. After giving King Yong a thoughtful look, he continued to deal with the memorial and said in a clear voice: "I have a filial piety. I still have state affairs to deal with. Please go back to the palace after you have paid your respects!"

King Yong did not retreat immediately. He hesitated for a moment and said respectfully: "My father has been working hard on state affairs, sleeping early and night. I can't bear to see my father. Now that my body is getting better, I would like to invite my father." Assign some errands so that my sons and ministers can fulfill their filial piety."

The main purpose of King Yong this time is to take charge of errands. As a prince, if he has no influence in the court, there is no need to talk about ambition. He is the second son. His eldest brother died young, so he is the eldest among many princes. This is both the legitimate son and the eldest son. Long and tall, he is the No. 1 choice in the East Palace.

Originally, King Yong was an errand in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, but because of his physical illness, he went to rest in the palace to rest. Now that his health is improving, he will not sit still and wait for death.

When Emperor Yongkang heard this, the hand holding the pen paused in the air, his sharp eyes flickered, and he looked down at the kneeling King Yong. He pointed to the errand after his illness improved, and his intention was clear.

After a pause, Emperor Yongkang said, "Okay, it's up to you, wherever you want to go on errands."

Emperor Yongkang understood that the attraction of power was difficult to contain. At that time, the Supreme Emperor wanted to stop the fight for the right to inherit the throne, but instead made the fight for the right to inherit the right to become more fierce.

A lesson learned from the past is a lesson learned from the past. It is better to block the situation than to block it. It is okay to fight, but it must be within a controllable range. This is also the reason why Emperor Yongkang has not established a prince for a long time, so that a few people will not take risks.

King Yong was overjoyed when he heard this and said hurriedly: "Back to my father, I want to go to the Ministry of War."

After a few years of vacancy, the Ministry of Civil Affairs has already changed its appearance. It is not suitable for him to go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs at the moment. Going to the Ministry of War is something he has carefully considered. Although he is the second son, his brothers have not stopped in the past few years, especially King Le, the power in the court has been formed and cannot be underestimated. If you want to overpower him, you have to find another way.

"The Ministry of War."

Emperor Yongkang's eyebrows narrowed slightly, he was silent for a moment, and then responded: "Yes, you will go to the Ministry of War in two days to take up a post, please step down first!"

Upon hearing this, King Yong bowed and bowed, then immediately retreated.

After leaving the palace gate, King Yong strolled along the nine-curved corridor of the palace city, looking at the pavilions and waterside pavilions along the way. He couldn't help but feel comfortable. Suddenly, a fierce aura burst out from his eyes, and he looked through the thick palace walls. There is a majestic palace behind the Qianqing Palace, and I am filled with anger.

Daiyu Courtyard.

The copper stove placed on the table is filled with smoke, and the fragrance is astonishing. On the beautiful couch by the window, Daiyu, who is wearing a light purple embroidered plum blossom skirt, has her beautiful eyes closed, with a slight smile on her lips, and her expression is calm. , like a sleeping beauty who has been sleeping for a long time, extremely beautiful.A gust of breeze blew by, and the snow-white veil was slightly blown up, dotting the white jade cheeks. Daiyu immediately let out a kiss and slowly opened her eyes.

Pursing her pink lips, Daiyu called softly: "Zicuckoo."

Zicuckoo, who was sitting nearby, heard the noise, stepped forward lightly, and whispered: "Girl, aren't you going to take a nap?"

Zijuan knew that Daiyu often couldn't sleep in the middle of the night and wouldn't stop until the first or second watch. Not only did she sleep late, she also slept less. She probably couldn't sleep after the first watch, so Daiyu had the habit of taking a nap. , regarded as catching up on sleep.

Since she was just catching up on her sleep, Zijuan naturally hoped that Daiyu could sleep a little longer.

Daiyu shook her head when she heard this, sat up a little with the help of Zijuan, and asked, "What time is it now?"

Zicuckoo helped Daiyu, then handed her another cup of tea and replied: "It's time to show off."

Daiyu took the tea and took a sip. She suddenly felt much refreshed and her energy returned a little. When she heard Zicuckoo's answer, she frowned slightly and said softly: "I said earlier that I wanted to accompany Girl Yun to visit the garden, but now I don't feel like it." It’s time to apply, I’m afraid that Girl Yun will remember it again.”

Zijuan pursed her lips and smiled when she heard this, and said, "What the girl said seems as if Miss Yun is being unreasonable."

Daiyu smiled knowingly, the corners of her lips raised slightly, but she didn't say anything else. They were both stubborn sisters, and they didn't know each other's temperament. She just couldn't control her mouth and said something casually.

Immediately afterwards, Zijuan changed her voice and said with a smile: "Miss Yun is busy today and can't go to the yard."

"Oh, what could be better than having her stroll around the yard?"

Daiyu was surprised when she heard this. Xiangyun had nothing to do in the palace except having fun.

Zijuan looked at the girl in front of her with a smile and said, "The prince returned to his mansion early today and is taking Miss Yun and the others to learn how to ride horses. How can he still have time to visit the garden?"

Daiyu paused for a moment after hearing this, put the teacup on the table, wiped the corners of her lips with a handkerchief, looked at her good sister with her willow eyes, her face was calm, and she asked casually: "Brother-in-law is taking Yun Yatou to learn to ride a horse. Already?"

The smile between Zicuckoo's brows grew thicker and she replied: "There is also Miss Bao. I heard that I went to ask the second and fourth girls, but they didn't go."

Daiyu's willow eyes dimmed slightly when she heard this. According to Zijuan's words, all the sisters-in-law nearby went to invite her, leaving her alone. What does this mean?
Zijuan wanted to make a joke, but one look at Daiyu's expression and she knew that the girl was sentimental again, so she stopped teasing and said with a smile: "The prince came here earlier, just to watch the girl take a nap, but the prince didn't Excuse me, I said that when the girl wakes up, if she wants to learn how to ride a horse, she can go to the martial arts field, if she doesn’t want to go, she can just rest in the house."

Daiyu's heart warmed slightly when she heard this, and her pair of willow eyes were sparkling with stars. They all belonged to her sister-in-law. Whoever left her without feeling upset had absolutely no other intentions.

Seeing this, Zicuckoo laughed "hehe" and asked with a smile: "Girl, are you going?"

"."

What is this girl laughing at? She must be doing it on purpose.

But Daiyu didn't say anything, her willow eyes flashed slightly, and she said softly: "I am weak, how can I learn to ride a horse."

Hearing this, Zicuckoo said "Oh" and responded: "I know, I'll ask Xueyan to come back later and tell her that she can't learn to ride a horse, so she won't go."

"."

I told you not to go.
