Lin Daiyu's Rebirth

"Empress Dowager, Your Majesty, this is the newly invited opera troupe, and here is the opera list.

Everyone is ready, please take a look and choose whichever piece you like." The prince said as he handed the opera list to the stage.

"Today is my mother's birthday, and the birthday girl is the most important. Please order whatever you like." The emperor said with a smile.

The Queen Mother looked at the opera list and said with a smile: "Today is my birthday. The Emperor is filial and everyone has taken the trouble. Let's play this opera, "The Heroine of Women, Mu Guiying, Take Command."

On the stage, the classic movements and singing style drew praise from everyone.

After the song was finished, the emperor smiled and said, "Mother, there are many more good songs. You are the eldest today, please take a look and order another one."

The Queen Mother took a look, closed the repertoire, and said, "I am old, but when I was young, I also liked the plays of those young masters and young ladies.

Your Majesty, I want to listen to a play like The West Chamber and The Peony Pavilion."

The emperor looked at the prince helplessly. Due to feudal ethics, no such opera was arranged today.

The prince could only smile and say, “Since the Queen Mother likes The West Chamber and The Peony Pavilion, I will ask everyone here if they know any excerpts from them.

Those who can sing, please come up on stage and sing for the Queen Mother.

At this moment, a palace maid said:

"I hereby inform the Emperor and the Empress Dowager that I will sing The West Chamber and Cui Yingying's Night Listening to the Piano."

After that, she walked onto the stage and sang:

"Only hearing the night piano reminded me of my daughter's worries.

The morning window is cold, my mind is tired, and my makeup is useless.

Too lazy to raise my body, I let out a long sigh.

Lightly powder the face and casually tie the hair

The treasures in the box are often left idle, but they turned out to be a heartbreaking poem.

When the song was over, she sang out the feeling of a girl in seclusion, falling in love for the first time, and missing her lover.

It's really intoxicating, Yu'er, do you know when I will take you to listen to Romance of the West Chamber?

At this time, everyone's applause and the emperor's reward brought the prince back to reality.

Next, according to the arrangements of the prince and the Ministry of Rites, several songs and dances were performed, including "The Lantern Festival", "Longing for You", folk songs from various places, "Fengyang Flower Drum" and "The Good Jiangnan".

Everyone watched intently and applauded.

Suddenly, the scene changed, and the people on the stage formed a square formation. Everyone wore clothes from different dynasties, each holding a Chinese character for "Fu" in their hands, and all of them paid their respects to the Emperor, Empress Dowager, and Empress on the stage.

Prince Beijing stood among them and wrote on the spot in regular script:

I pray for a long life, as old as the pine trees;

We are blessed to live in such a prosperous age, and may our fortunes be as vast as the East China Sea.

I wish you good health and a long life.

After the prince finished writing, he walked straight to the Queen Mother and said with a smile: "I am grateful for the Queen Mother's grace. I, the Thirteenth, have no way to repay you. I specially present this birthday poem. I hope the Queen Mother will live a long and happy life."

After saying this, he kowtowed to the Queen Mother. The people on the stage, both men and women, dressed in clothes from various dynasties, followed the prince in kowtow.

Empress Dowager, the Emperor was grinning from ear to ear, and shouted, "Everyone, stand up. Give the order and reward everyone handsomely. Prince Beijing, I will give you your great gift in a moment."

The prince walked down the stage with a smile and winked at the chief steward of the Ministry of Rites. The chief steward stepped forward gently and invited the Empress Dowager, the Emperor, and the Empress to move and visit Shoukang Palace.

Everyone followed the steward to Shoukang Palace.

On the north wall of the main room of Shoukang Palace, there was a big character for "Shou".

The chief steward kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, may the Empress Dowager and the Emperor live a thousand years. We have consulted with the people and sent people to find 100 respected and long-lived elders to write the characters for longevity. We have then pieced together a large character for longevity and presented it to the Empress Dowager and the Emperor."

The emperor looked at the longevity characters on the wall and the queen mother's happy expression, and smiled: "Today's ceremony was a great success.

Whether it is the opera troupe, the singing and dancing troupe, or the dynasty birthday celebration and the Hundred Longevity Picture just now.

The Queen Mother and I are very pleased with this. We will accept all the rewards and tell the Imperial Kitchen to prepare a grand banquet today."

After that, everyone attended the banquet according to their status.

After the banquet, everyone went back home.

The Emperor and the Empress Dowager left behind only Prince Beijing and his wife.

The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Old Thirteen, I really like today's program, and I like you two too.

I know you've taken so much trouble, so I'm thinking of asking the Emperor to give you something good."

The emperor smiled and asked the eunuch to announce his decree.

All I could hear was the eunuch saying, "By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor decrees that Prince Beijing and Prince Rong, born into a distinguished family and deeply favored by me, be given the title of Prince Rong, and his wife be given the title of Princess Rong. This is decreed!"

The prince and his wife quickly knelt down and kowtowed to express their gratitude.

The emperor smiled and said, "It's getting late, and you're all tired. Go back and rest."

The prince brought his wife back to the mansion.

Everyone in the palace had already known the news that the prince had been conferred the title of prince. They were happily waiting at the door, holding firecrackers.

As soon as the prince and his wife got off the carriage, everyone in the palace knelt down and kowtowed, shouting in unison: "Good luck to Prince Rong, good luck to the Grand Concubine, long live Prince Rong, long live the Grand Concubine."

The eldest wife held the prince's hand contentedly and accepted everyone's worship.

The prince said with a look of relief: "Today, everyone in the mansion, whether master or servant, will be rewarded."

Everyone happily lit firecrackers to congratulate the prince on being conferred the title of prince.

After dinner, everyone went to bed.

The prince came to the study alone, thinking quietly, Yu'er, Yu'er, I will see you soon.

Yu'er, do you know that I really want to fly to you right now?

At this moment, Daiyu was sitting blankly in the cell.

She was in court today.

Since the coroner's autopsy results came out, she was brought to court today.

In the hall, she met the Granny Cai she had been thinking about, Xiaoling, and Li Feier.

She thought that she was capable and upright, and that she had nothing to fear from her own shadow. She thought the autopsy results would be fine, but she was wrong.

The latest evidence shows that there are indeed drug residues in Su Yi's body.

This drug enters the respiratory tract through the nasal cavity, causing suffocation and death from cardiopulmonary failure.

Daiyu cried out: "It's not me, it's not me, I didn't hurt him...

Li Feier insisted that it was she who harmed Su Yi.

Granny Cai looked at Daiyu with a strange look that made her shudder.

She held Grandma Cai's hand and cried, "Grandma, please believe me, it really wasn't me, Grandma..."

Granny Cai didn't answer, she just took Xiaoling and left without looking back.

At Li Feier's insistence, the prefect beat Daiyu with 10 boards. Daiyu, who had been pampered since childhood and had never suffered hardship, felt as if her heart was being torn apart bit by bit.

It shattered into glass shards bit by bit.

It wasn't just my body that hurt, it was also the distrustful look from Grandma Cai.

Her heart was broken.

After enduring the pain and returning to the cell, he stayed there quietly with a dull look in his eyes, ignoring the neighbor sister's calls.

She lay on the ground, the pain in her body and the brokenness in her heart left her completely broken.

Your Majesty, Yu'er misses you, where are you?
