Chapter 214 Lin Daiyu Returns to the Palace
Chapter 214 Lin Daiyu Returns to the Palace
"Mrs. Yu, we're going back to the palace soon!"
Luo Yuxuan was seen riding on a big horse with bright fur, and his excitement was beyond words.
As we walked forward, the scenery on both sides of the road became more and more familiar.
People are coming and going on the street.
Luo Yuxuan looked at the familiar plants and trees in front of him, and couldn't help but feel excited and happy.
You know, soon he will be able to see Cai Lian, whom he has been thinking about all the time!
When he thought of the gentle Cai Lian, Luo Yuxuan's mouth corners unconsciously rose, revealing a happy smile.
At this time, Daiyu was sitting quietly in the carriage at the back.
When she heard Luo Yuxuan say that he was about to return to the palace, her heart trembled suddenly and she became panicked involuntarily.
During the time I was away from the palace, I lived a relaxed and comfortable life on the grassland with the prince.
When he came back, he unexpectedly made a close friend like Luo Yuxuan.
At this moment, when she thought about going back to face the First Lady, she felt a little timid in her heart.
If it weren't for the first wife locking her up in the woodshed, how could she have mustered the courage to go to the grassland? Now that she thinks about it, that was leaving the house without permission!
However, he changed his mind and realized that he had been away from the palace for a long time. It would be against the rules if he did not come back for a long time.
What's more, Lin Zhong is already old and has been waiting for me to return in the mansion. If he doesn't see that I am safe and sound, he will never leave with peace of mind.
Thinking of this, Daiyu took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and secretly told herself: There is no use in escaping, it is better to face it all calmly.
So, she quickly reached out and straightened her slightly messy clothes, smoothing them out and tidying them neatly;
Then she gently picked up the comb and carefully combed the hair on her head.
After some tidying up, Daiyu, who originally looked a little tired, instantly became refreshed, as beautiful as the peach blossoms blooming in spring.
Their carriage hurried through the bustling and lively Qianmen Street.
Daiyu gently opened the door curtain, and the bustling street market came into view.
There were shops lining both sides of the street, and the hawkers' cries were heard one after another.
Then they walked through a quiet and ancient Nanmen Alley.
Daiyu thought: People living here may not have rights or status, but this is the quiet and peaceful life of ordinary people.
She saw long and narrow alleys, winding bluestone roads, walls covered with moss, and the traces of time were clearly visible.
After coming out of the South Gate Ancient Alley, they walked through several spacious and prosperous streets in succession.
As we walked forward, finally, a magnificent mansion appeared before our eyes - Prince Beijing's Palace!
Luo Yuxuan hurriedly dismounted from his steed, lowered his hands, and respectfully stood in front of the carriage, saying softly, "Fujin Yu, we've arrived at the palace. Please get off!"
It was the first time that Luo Yuxuan addressed her so seriously, and Daiyu was a little uncomfortable.
She slowly got out of the carriage and looked at the sign of the palace in a daze.
Back here again!
Daiyu gently stroked the pair of majestic stone lions in front of the door and wanted to leave, but she had already arrived at the door of her home.
Luo Yuxuan naturally didn't know about what happened between Daiyu and the First Lady before. He just thought that they were already home, so why was she suddenly dawdling?
He hurriedly smiled and said, "Yufujin, you've worked hard all the way, and now you're pregnant. You should go back to your room and rest as soon as possible!"
Only then did Daiyu remember that she could no longer be willful and had to consider her children.
Thinking of this, she lifted the hem of her skirt and walked slowly towards the mansion.
"Yu'er pays respects to the Grand Wife. I left without saying goodbye and failed to follow the rules of the mansion. I cannot escape the blame. Please punish me severely!"
Daiyu hurried into the front hall and saw the eldest lady sitting with everyone else, drinking tea and chatting leisurely.
She did not dare to delay and hurried forward a few steps, respectfully performing a standard salute to the First Lady.
The eldest lady slowly put down the exquisite teacup in her hand, with a faint smile on her lips, and slowly stood up and walked towards Daiyu.
When she came closer, the eldest lady stretched out a hand, gently grasped Daiyu's arm which was still bowing, and pulled her up with force.
She said softly, her face full of enthusiasm, "You're already pregnant now. You're not allowed to perform such rituals in the future! What if you accidentally hurt the baby?"
Daiyu couldn't help but feel suspicious and secretly speculated:
What happened to the eldest concubine today? She usually seemed very serious, so why did she suddenly become so reasonable today?
When did she become so virtuous?
Thinking of this, Daiyu suddenly realized that Jiaorou was winking at her, and she immediately understood what she meant.
The eldest lady is just putting on an act in front of everyone!
Despite thinking so in her heart, out of basic courtesy, Daiyu still responded with a sincere face and earnest words: "I will strictly abide by the rules of the mansion in the future and will never make the same mistake again!"
However, the eldest wife still smiled and waved her hands repeatedly. She said to the concubines and the others, "Let's not talk about the past. We are all the prince's women and should be sisters!"
After the eldest wife finished speaking, she signaled to the maid to take out the things she had prepared for Daiyu's unborn child.
The maid took out a bundle, which contained some baby clothes, quilts, bellybands, etc.
She smiled and picked up a bellyband, gently handed it to Daiyu, and said gently: "This is embroidered by me myself, and it is also a piece of my stepmother's love. Please don't mind if it doesn't look good!"
Daiyu naturally took the gift from the eldest wife with a smile, bowed gently to her, and said softly, "Thank you for your trouble, my wife. I thank you on behalf of my child!"
The eldest wife hurriedly pulled her up, turned to look at the side wives and the others, and said gently, "Whoever helps the prince to have children in the future will be rewarded handsomely!"
After saying this, she tilted her head slightly, smiled gently at Daiyu, and then waved her hand to signal everyone to go back to their rooms to rest.
Seeing this, Daiyu couldn't stay any longer, so she had to thank the First Lady again and turned to leave.
As soon as everyone disappeared at the door of the front hall, the smile on the eldest lady's face disappeared instantly, replaced by a sneer.
She turned to look at the maidservant beside her and ordered in a low voice, "Go and call Luo Yuxuan and tell him that I have something to talk to him about."
Soon, Luo Yuxuan arrived at the door of the eldest lady's room in high spirits.
It turned out that he mistakenly thought that the call from the eldest lady was to arrange for him to meet Cai Lian, whom he had been thinking about all the time, so he was in a particularly good mood along the way.
Little did he know what kind of storm was waiting for him...
