Lin Daiyu's Rebirth

Chapter 269 Lin Daiyu fell down

"Girl, girl, what's wrong with you?"

Late at night, Xiaowan was keeping watch outside.

Suddenly, Daiyu's terrified screams came from the inner room, and the sound was particularly abrupt in the quiet night.

Xiaowan was shocked and didn't care about anything else. She rushed into the house in two steps and came to Daiyu's bed.

She reached out and gently shook her shoulders, calling out, "Girl, girl, are you okay?"

Daiyu closed her eyes tightly, frowned, and kept muttering to herself.

Seeing this, Xiaowan became even more anxious, and her hands' movements became gentler and faster.

Finally, in response to Xiaowan's call, Daiyu slowly opened her eyes.

Her eyes were confused and frightened, as if she had just experienced a terrible nightmare.

After seeing that the person in front of her was Xiaowan, Daiyu finally woke up as if from a dream.

She took a long breath and murmured softly:

"It turned out to be a dream..."

However, even though she was awake, the scenes in her dream were still vivid in her mind, leaving her with lingering fears.

Especially when she thought of the prince being shot by the eldest lady's arrow, her heart suddenly tightened, her heartbeat accelerated involuntarily, and a layer of fine cold sweat instantly appeared on her forehead.

Seeing this, Xiaowan hurriedly stretched out her hands and kept stroking Daiyu's chest.

Daiyu, like a drowning person grabbing a life-saving straw, tightly grasped Xiaowan's hand and asked anxiously:

“I was in the room the whole time, wasn’t I?

Has the prince returned?"

Xiaowan was secretly shocked and didn't understand why Daiyu asked this.

She quickly comforted him softly:

"Miss, you have been staying in the house all this time and have never left.

Have you forgotten? Concubine came to visit you today!

The prince hasn't come back yet!"

After hearing Xiaowan's words, Daiyu's expression eased a little.

She silently told herself repeatedly in her heart:

Dreams are always the opposite of what they actually are. The prince will definitely be safe!

Xiaowan watched Daiyu slowly regain consciousness and said softly, "Miss, you should get some more sleep. It will be dawn soon!"

Daiyu nodded and slowly closed her eyes.

The scene just now was really scary, but fortunately it was just a dream. As she was thinking about it, Daiyu fell asleep again in a daze.

Just after Daiyu had finished her breakfast, Cailian came slowly towards her with light steps.

She smiled and said to Daiyu, "Madam Yu, the day after tomorrow is the winter solstice.

Today, the eldest lady said that we should go to her room to meet after breakfast."

After saying that, Cai Lian bowed slightly, then turned and left.

After Cailian left, Daiyu thought that in her dream last night, the eldest lady shot an arrow at the prince's chest in anger. If she went to her room later, nothing would happen, right?

As I was thinking, I lazily walked to the dressing table and sat down.

However, when she stared at herself in the mirror, she couldn't help but be stunned.

She pondered in her heart: Is the Winter Solstice so important? Why did she ask everyone to go to her room for no reason?

At this moment, a cheerful scream was heard from outside the door:

"Sister, are you awake?

Could it be that she is still lying in bed because she misses the prince too much? "

As the sound got closer, Jiaorou, dressed beautifully, appeared at the door.

She walked quickly into the room with a smile on her face.

But when she saw Daiyu's eyes were red and swollen and she looked listless, Jiaorou immediately stopped laughing and hurried to Daiyu's side.

Asked with concern:

"Sister, did you not get enough rest last night?

I haven't seen you for a night, why do you look like this?"

As she spoke, she reached out her hand and gently stroked Daiyu's cheek, her eyes full of worry and pity.

Daiyu was afraid that Jiaorou would worry, so she could only say calmly, "The wind was so strong yesterday that I didn't get enough rest."

Jiaorou still said worriedly:

"I have to go to the First Lady's room soon, and your face is like this, it's very disrespectful!

It’s better to apply a hot towel to your face and then cover it with some powder!”

Daiyu nodded, and Xiaowan brought a handkerchief and gently put it on her face.

Jiaorou took the jasmine powder and gently applied some on Daiyu.

After the cheeks were almost as fresh as before, the two of them got up and went to the eldest lady's room.

In the spacious and bright main room, the eldest wife was sitting on the main seat, wearing a light purple brocade robe.

After everyone was present, the eldest wife slowly raised her head and glanced at everyone present.

Then, she raised her hand slightly to signal Cai Lian beside her and whispered:

"Go and serve tea to all the sisters."

Cai Lian responded respectfully and quickly served steaming hot tea to everyone present.

The eldest wife stretched out her jade hand again and took a sip of tea.

Then, she smiled and said in a light voice:

"The winter solstice will be here tomorrow, and as the saying goes, 'the winter solstice is as important as the New Year'.

The prince is not in the palace this year, so it would be nice for us sisters to get together on that day to fit in with the occasion.

Everyone, think carefully about how to make this winter solstice more interesting!"

However, in response to the eldest lady's question, everyone just smiled and exchanged glances, but no one spoke.

For a moment, the whole room fell into a brief silence.

A long time passed like this, and finally, the concubine Siyu who was sitting on the side slowly stood up.

The corners of her mouth turned up, revealing a gentle smile. She bowed to the eldest wife and said slowly:

"You are absolutely right, Grand Madam. We sisters will all follow your arrangements!"

When the eldest lady heard Siyu say this, she smiled and gestured for her to sit down.

But I feel that when it comes to being a person, it is better to be like Siyu, who doesn't speak unless it is her business, and shakes her head and says she doesn't know when asked.

The eldest wife saw Daiyu's absent-mindedness at a glance.

Then he asked softly, "Mrs. Yu, I suppose your Jia family is considered a family of poetry and etiquette. How do you celebrate the winter solstice there?"

Daiyu was still thinking about her dream when she suddenly heard the eldest lady calling her name. She was stunned for a moment, then stood up and said with a smile:

“When I was at my grandmother’s house, the winter solstice was just a get-together for everyone.

Now we will obey the arrangements of the Grand Concubine!"

When everyone heard Daiyu's words, they all hurriedly stood up, their faces respectful, and responded in unison to the eldest wife:

"I am willing to follow the arrangements of the Grand Concubine in everything!"

At this time, the eldest wife stood up slowly and gracefully, her eyes moving gently like water as she looked around at everyone present.

She has a graceful figure and walks lightly, like a blooming peony, exuding charming charm.

She opened her red lips slightly and smiled:

"The prince is currently on a campaign against the Xiongnu and has already returned victorious.

And we are in this palace, and the sisters live in harmony with each other, and there has never been any jealousy!

This is such a wonderful story!"

After saying this, the eldest wife turned her head slightly and gave Cailian a wink.

Cai Lian understood what he meant and hurried to the room to get a tray.

There were several incense bags and several glittering gold ingots on the plate.

The eldest wife raised her hand and pointed at the trays, and whispered to Siyu and the others:

"This is just a small token of my appreciation for the winter solstice!

I hope my sisters won’t despise my shabby appearance! "

As he spoke, he nodded at Cai Lian, indicating that she should distribute the gifts one by one.

After thanking the eldest lady, everyone left.

Daiyu and Jiaorou took the gifts given by the eldest lady and slowly walked back to their room.

Daiyu was walking when she suddenly stepped on a small pebble. Her body tilted forward and she fell out.

Jiao Rou panicked instantly, and the things in her hands fell to the ground in an instant, and she shouted loudly:

"Yu'er, are you okay?"
