Red Mansion and Crimson Pearl

Chapter 298 Let Out Your Anger

Cao Yu left.

Seeing Daiyu's impatient look, Feng Ziying didn't dare to provoke her. He hid outside the door with his tail between his legs and listened to her scolding.

The Queen Mother finally reacted, smiled and hugged Daiyu, and said with emotion: "After all, it is our Zhaoqing, so smart and domineering! He guessed my thoughts in an instant."

Daiyu sighed, but ignored the words and turned around to instruct Zijuan, "Take Xueyan with you and Aunt Meng to start packing our luggage.

"It's fine if the Supreme Lord doesn't come. If he does come back tonight, then we will leave Jinling tomorrow at the earliest, or the day after tomorrow at the latest, and head north to Beijing."

Zijuan agreed, took Xueyan and Aunt Meng, who was already dazzled, and went to the back together.

Tanchun didn't say anything either, she just massaged the empress dowager's shoulders.

Daiyu then slowly spoke to the Queen Mother in a low voice: "No matter who did this, the Queen Mother must be very sad.

"Besides, many things in Jiangnan have not yet been completed. Even if the Supreme Lord comes back in the evening, he will probably be very busy.

"Don't stop him just because you feel bad for him. He's so angry that he wants to vent it.

"With your temper, if you say something that hits his lungs, wouldn't it be embarrassing for the relationship between the old couple?"

The Queen Mother thought about it, but disagreed: "Although what you said makes sense, he is also old, and his anger will eventually come out.

"Otherwise, either I'll keep it to myself and ruin my health, or I'll take it out on the emperor when I get back to Beijing, neither of which is good.

"It's better to let him quarrel with me, and then I can coax him after the quarrel."

Can you please be so great?!

There has never been a time when the Supreme One did not come back to comfort you! ?

Daiyu said nothing, but just smiled and said, "Then I, the princess, and Yimin, the county lady, are just for nothing?

"The royal family has given us both dignity and honor, and the Empress Dowager has worked hard for us.

"We are not even willing to get close to him and get scolded at this time. Do we two still have the nerve to say that we are filial?"

When the Queen Mother heard this, she laughed so hard that she couldn't close her mouth. She hugged Daiyu and said, "Look at my good child!"

After making the empress dowager happy, Daiyu asked someone to invite Ding Mingyi's wife Zhen to come over. They talked in whispers for a long time and left a letter before they said goodbye.

Tanchun couldn't help but admire her as she watched: "Sister won over a first-rank imperial official in just a few encounters. She's really amazing."

The Queen Mother smiled and spoke for Daiyu: "Your sister Zhaoqing is related to her, so it is only natural that they should be in love with each other now."

"My mother and her elder sister, Zhen Yingniang, were nominally wives and concubines, but were actually sisters.

"I call Yingniang aunt, so naturally I can also call Madam Ding aunt.

"The Queen Mother said that we are related, but it couldn't be more appropriate."

As Daiyu spoke, she felt remorseful and regretful, and hurriedly ordered someone to write a new note for her niece and send it to the Ding residence.

The Queen Mother laughed: "Yesterday you said that other people's guards were climbing up the pole, but I see that you, a little monkey, are climbing much faster than them!"

Daiyu simply smiled and said, "I am a princess of the imperial court. If I want to be a godparent of the Governor-General of Liangjiang, would that be a disgrace to his family?"

"Aren't you afraid that people will say you're shameless?" The Queen Mother said with a smile, but she pulled her to sit down affectionately, complaining distressedly, "Take a break! I think your head is almost flattened from using it!"

Aunt Meng happened to lift the curtain and came in. She laughed: "I must make a cup of thick longan and walnut juice for the princess tonight! This is so exhausting!"

A few people were chatting and laughing for a while.

Seeing that Daiyu looked tired, Tanchun took her to take a rest while she stayed with the empress dowager.

As the sky was getting dark, Feng Ziying received the news: "The Supreme Lord is leading everyone in the camp back to the palace."

Feng Ziying came in to report, and then breathed a sigh of relief, praising Daiyu for her thoughtfulness: "We have already prepared a place for Dai Xiang and his men to live, so there is no need to rush at the last minute."

The Queen Mother smiled complacently and raised her finger to her lips again: "This place is small. Zhaoqing is sleeping in the back, don't make a sound like thunder! Keep it down!"

At one point, the Supreme Emperor brought Dai Quan and others into the palace, and officials such as Ding Mingyi, Cao Yu, Gu Yong and the prefect of Yingtian all came to serve them.

When the Grand Master entered the room, he took the Queen Mother's hand first, looked at her anxious eyes, and smiled to comfort her: "Don't worry, I'm fine."

He pointed at Cao Yu and laughed, "This bastard ran into my tent and cried and made a scene!

"If I don't listen to his advice and return to the palace today, he will immediately follow his elder brother's lead and be transferred to the Imperial Censorate, and will start writing memorials to impeach me tomorrow!"

The Queen Mother glared at the Supreme with a reproachful look: "Good impeachment! I was hoping someone would go and make a scene, luckily there is someone like Kuang Ru!

"I originally wanted Ziying to go, but he was worried about me staying here alone. It was almost as if Yimin and Zhaoqing had to go to the camp!"

The Emperor laughed heartily and gently asked the Empress Dowager and the others to go to the back first. He then used this outer room to summon the officials of Jinling.

This meeting was already evening.

The last one is Zhen Xun.

Talking to Zhen Xun was probably the most difficult imperial summons that the Supreme Lord had ever had in Jinling City.

Even Daiyu, who was eavesdropping from behind, covered her eyes helplessly with her hands.

Tanchun also frowned and asked Daiyu quietly, "What the Lord said isn't hard to understand! Why does he keep pretending to be stupid?"

"I'm not pretending to be stupid, I'm really stupid!" Daiyu covered her mouth and whispered,

"If this man was a little smarter, he wouldn't have stayed in such an empty position for more than ten years.

"It's not his half-brother's turn to be the Governor-General of Liangjiang!"

The Emperor outside had been furious for a long time, and at this moment he heard someone whispering in the inner room. Suddenly, there was a bang at the top of the door, and he stood up suddenly:

"Zhen Xun, kneel down and pay your respects!"

Zhen Xun was trembling with fear and sweating profusely. He kowtowed and walked out while wiping his sweat. He almost tripped before leaving the house!

As soon as he left, Taishang swept the tea bowl on the table to the ground and shouted, "Who was it just now! You were peeping at me! Come out!"

Daiyu and Tanchun stuck out their tongues, came out reluctantly, and knelt side by side on the ground where the tea was flowing!

"Ha! I was wondering who it was!? Turns out to be you two heroines!" Tai Shang sneered!

Daiyu and Tanchun kowtowed hurriedly, their hands on the ground: "Your Highness, we overstepped the bounds for a moment, and did not deliberately disrespect the law. Please forgive us, Your Highness!"

"How dare I punish you two?" The Supreme sneered, "One is the orphan of a meritorious official, the daughter of an old friend of your Majesty's beloved; the other is a smart girl who was wronged by her family because of her intelligence and ability. Which one of them is not wronged and pitiful?!

"They all look gentle and kind, but in fact they are just taking advantage of the Queen Mother's charity and using my name to cheat and cause trouble!

"What kind of bastards are you? What's the point of hurting you!

“In the future, those who kill the king and the father and shake the foundation of the country will be the ungrateful people like you who have received my favor!

"The hen crows at dawn!

"The witch is causing harm to the country!"

The Supreme Lord was still cursing when the Queen Mother came out from behind and shouted unhappily, “That’s enough!

"Just vent your anger! If you keep talking, if these words get out, they'll both be dead!

"If Zhaoqing hadn't sent the order, how do you think Cao Kuangru would have been so bold as to go to your camp and make trouble?!

"okay!

"come over!

“Drink tea!

“Bathing!

"sleep!

"I'll go back to Beijing tomorrow!"
