Yurun Bingyan of the Red Chamber

Chapter 58

Huangfu Bingyan nodded casually.Anyway, even if he didn't go to Sa Feiying, Sa Feiying would come back to him.

In the afternoon, Daiyu and the others bid farewell to Shui Cangming and the others and returned to the Yan Palace.As soon as she stepped into the mansion, Dai Yujin felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere in the palace.Can't tell the difference though.The Yanwang Mansion treats the servants quite generously, and the servants respect the master but are not too afraid, but Daiyu always feels that the people in the mansion today are a little cautious, as if they are afraid that if they make a mistake, they will be in bad luck.Some people even made Daiyu feel unfamiliar, as if she had never seen them before.Daiyu looked at Huangfu Bingyan with some doubts, Huangfu Bingyan said softly: "It's okay, I'll take you to see two people." The palace manager came out to welcome him, "This old servant welcomes the prince and concubine." Huangfu Bingyan nodded and said: " Has anyone arrived?" The palace manager nodded and said: "It's already here, waiting for the prince and princess in the backyard." Huangfu Bingyan led Daiyu directly to the backyard, and said to the palace manager: "The king and the princess can go there by themselves. The manager goes Let's prepare dinner."

"Yes." Director Gong bowed and left, Daiyu knew that the person they were going to meet must be a very important person, and she had never seen Director Gong take things so seriously before.Huangfu Bingyan led Daiyu through many courtyards to the deepest small courtyard that had been vacant at ordinary times.At this time, there were four imposing guards standing at the gate of the campus. When they saw the two coming, they just bowed and saluted, not kneeling like ordinary people. "This subordinate has seen the prince and concubine." Huangfu Bingyan nodded and said: Thank you for your hard work." One of them said: "I dare not, my lord and concubine please."

After entering the courtyard, although Daiyu doesn't know martial arts, she can still feel that the atmosphere here is quite different from the usual peace and tranquility, presumably there are many people hiding in the secret place.I also became more curious about the people I was going to meet.As soon as I entered the hall, I saw a man and a woman sitting leisurely drinking tea.Both of them looked like they were in their fifties. Although they were dressed in unremarkable civilian clothes, they made people feel naturally elegant and dignified.Huangfu Bingyan stepped forward, lifted the hem of his clothes and knelt down, said indifferently: "I have seen my father, queen and mother." Daiyu was shocked, these two people turned out to be the former emperor and the first empress?Taking a closer look, there are indeed some similar traces of Huangfu Bingyan and Shui Cangming between their brows.Huangfu Bingyan and Shui Cangming looked like their father, but Shui Cangming's eyes were like their mother's.Erhuangfu Bingyan is more similar to this former emperor.In the blink of an eye, Daiyu had come back to her senses, respectfully knelt down beside Huangfu Bingyan, and said, "I have seen the Supreme Emperor, the Empress Dowager." The Empress Dowager sized Daiyu up before she stepped forward to help her She smiled and said: "What empress dowager, shouldn't I follow Lan'er (Huangfu Bingyan's real name Shui Canglan) to call me queen mother? Could it be that the daughter-in-law is angry that we two old ones didn't come back to attend your wedding?"

Daiyu saw that the empress dowager's words were gentle, and her eyes were full of kindness when she looked at her.Most of the tension in my heart disappeared.With a shallow smile, he said, "Daiyu has seen the queen mother and father." The empress dowager patted her hand lovingly and smiled, "That's right. Lan'er, get up too." Stay until Huangfu Bingyan and Daiyu are by the side After sitting down, the empress dowager glared at Huangfu Bingyan and said: "Your younger brother is not sensible, and you messed around with him. It made me and your father not catch up with your wedding." Daiyu and Huangfu Bingyan It is only one month from the gift of marriage to the marriage.At that time, they were preparing to visit other countries on the western frontier.By the time the news of the gift of marriage reached them, the wedding date had already passed.The angry empress dowager scolded the two brothers severely, and then dragged the empress dowager back to Beijing to meet her new daughter-in-law.Huangfu Bingyan casually took off the mask on his face and threw it on the table beside him, revealing a handsome but less bloody face and said: "The date of marriage is set by the emperor. It's not good for my son to refute his intention openly." Pingping The words were light, and there was no dissatisfaction or complaint, but it made the empress dowager feel guilty.Looking at the handsome face of her son who has not seen the sun all year round, the queen mother sighed: "It's not good for the queen mother. If the queen mother didn't give birth to your brothers like this, Lan'er wouldn't have to live with this wronged person." The queen mother listened The brows twitched slightly. In the past 20 years, he didn't know how much saliva and energy he had spent on this topic.Especially the older the son, the more frequently his queen mentioned it.I thought that now that my son is finally married, it should stop, but it happened again.

Sure enough, before the empress dowager had finished complaining in her heart, the empress dowager glared at him bitterly and said, "And you, insist on letting Lan'er stay in the capital. If you don't stay in the capital and don't become a general, even It doesn't matter if they look exactly the same!" Anyway, her son didn't want to be a general or an emperor.The Taishanghuang twitched the corners of his mouth, glanced at Huangfu Bingyan who was sitting on the side, and motioned for him to speak to his mother.Huangfu Bingyan seemed to have disappeared, he lowered his head and took a sip of tea calmly.Let his father exhaust his tongue to comfort his mother.Daiyu was surprised to see how the Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager got along like ordinary folk old couples. She was both curious and envious.No wonder they can raise two brothers like Huangfu Bingyan and Shui Cangming. The Supreme Emperor and the Empress Dowager are no ordinary people.

After the Supreme Emperor finally settled his beloved wife and promised to give the eldest son more benefits, the tea in the teacups beside Daiyu and Huangfu Bingyan was already cold.Huangfu Bingyan calmly summoned his servants to give him the best Dahongpao again.The empress dowager then looked at Daiyu, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, it's because this old man is too stubborn. We are all one family, so Yu'er doesn't have to be too formal." Daiyu nodded and smiled, "Yu'er I know." After thinking about it for a while, the Empress Dowager asked someone to deliver a box, handed it to Daiyu herself, and said, "We didn't make it in time for your wedding, this is a gift from your father and me to you, take a look at it I don't like it." Daiyu took it with both hands, opened it, and inside was a golden phoenix bracelet with two exquisite phoenixes on it, which looked extraordinarily luxurious.The Empress Dowager smiled and said: "It's not something expensive, it's just that the Empress Dowager gave it to me when I entered the palace. It was originally a pair, and the other one was given to the girl of the Liu family. This one is for you."

Daiyu quickly thanked her.Although she never liked overly ornate gold ornaments, this bracelet has a different meaning for the Empress Dowager.When the empress dowager sent this thing, she acknowledged her daughter-in-law.

"My lord, the emperor and Concubine Liu Gui brought His Highness the Crown Prince and Prince Anqin's son here."

The Supreme Emperor nodded and said: "Let them come in." Shui Cangming and Concubine Liu Gui came in with Mohan Moyu, and after paying homage again, the Empress Dowager summoned Mohan and Moyu with great joy and said with a smile: "Han'er has grown into an adult. This is Master Lin's young master. He really looks like Master Lin back then. Father, don't you think so?" Reluctantly nodded, hummed.After receiving the response from the Supreme Emperor, the Empress Dowager took Mo Yu even more happily to ask questions, pinching this and that.The Supreme Emperor's complexion became even uglier.Shui Cangming stood aside, lowered his head and held back his laughter, not daring to speak.Huangfu Bingyan lowered his head and continued to drink tea, but he couldn't hide the corners of his mouth from pulling back.Mo Yu didn't feel much, because most of his attention was focused on Huangfu Bingyan's face.After looking at it for a long time, I finally confirmed that the person in front of me with a handsome face similar to Shui Cangming's was really his brother-in-law.Directly ignoring the little cheek being pinched, Mo Yu then looked at Dai Yu and Huangfu Bingyan, and nodded secretly in her heart.Brother Huangfu and his sister are really a good match.Mo Yu felt that it was a good idea to marry her sister to Brother Huangfu.

After the empress dowager had enjoyed watching the two little fellows, Shui Cangming smiled and said: "Although the father and the empress did not catch up with the wedding of the emperor's brother and... the emperor's sister-in-law, it happened to coincide with the emperor's... sister-in-law's birthday. Isn't it?" Shui Cangming felt that he couldn't adapt to calling a fifteen-year-old girl sister-in-law.But very helpless, who made me born a little later than Huangfu?Daiyu raised her head in surprise, just in time to meet Huangfu Bingyan's eyes.There was a faint smile and comfort in his eyes.The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "That's right, you have a heart. Our family's birthday together is much more interesting than those who hold a big banquet." If you hold a banquet for Daiyu, you will inevitably have to deal with many people. Even the emperor, noble concubine and the empress dowager are not allowed to attend.Originally, Daiyu's 15th birthday this year should have a Jiji ceremony.But because Daiyu and Ji had already married before, this ceremony was naturally impossible.Huangfu Bingyan also doesn't like excitement, so he has already known about Shui Cangming's family coming to get together.Shui Cangming is worrying about how to explain to the old lady why he failed to catch up with the eldest son's big wedding.With this in mind, he quickly sent a message asking the two of you to come back.Of course it's not about celebrating Daiyu's birthday, but about meeting the new daughter-in-law at a family reunion.Shui Cangming also intimately revealed the birthday of his new daughter-in-law, February [-]th.When the empress dowager thought about it, she happily prepared gifts and rushed back to the capital on February [-]th.

After coaxing the queen mother to be happy, Shui Cangming secretly heaved a sigh of relief.Together with Concubine Liu Gui, they gave Daiyu a birthday present, and Mo Han and Mo Yu also presented their own gifts.The gifts prepared by the Empress Dowager were even more generous, and she looked back at Concubine Liu with a smile and said, "Little Liuer, don't be jealous. The Empress Dowager is not a person who treats one favorably than another, she will also give you a gift when you celebrate your birthday. Concubine Liu Gui covered her lips and said with a smile: "Daughter-in-law remembers that every year on the daughter-in-law's birthday and the mother's mother, the mother-in-law never forgets her daughter-in-law. But we can't be filial to the emperor's and mother's holy birthdays." The empress dowager and the emperor have traveled abroad for many years. I don't return to Beijing once a year.The Empress Dowager smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a few years, but you are getting better at talking."
