Lin Daiyu's Rebirth

"Your Highness, I will take Miss Lin out today. You please supervise the servants to decorate Cuizhu Garden." The eldest wife stood up and walked quickly to the door. She looked back at the prince and then gently closed the door.

She walked through the corridor and came to the kitchen, and told the cooks: "Bring breakfast directly to my room, and the prince will eat with me." After that, she turned and left, and walked lightly back to her room.

Who knew that the prince had already woken up and was hiding quietly in the inner room.

The eldest wife returned to the room and looked at the empty room with a confused look on her face. "My lord, are you so impatient to see Miss Lin?"

Before the eldest wife could finish her words, the prince came out from behind and hugged her around the waist.

“Ah, ah, who is so rude?” The first wife screamed in panic, and when she turned around, she saw it was the prince.

The prince smiled and carried her to the bed, gently scratched her nose, and said softly, "How can I go to find Miss Lin now? I have to have breakfast with you."

The eldest wife fell into the prince's arms and kissed him non-stop.

After a while, Cailian brought breakfast over. The prince, with a smile on his face, pulled the eldest wife to the table to eat breakfast.

"Your Highness, this is the eight-treasure sweet porridge and cornmeal cakes cooked in the kitchen. Please try it." The eldest wife said as she scooped a spoonful of porridge and put it into the prince's mouth.

The prince took a bite and nodded with satisfaction: "Mm, it tastes good, very much to my taste."

When the eldest wife heard this, a happy smile appeared on her face.

She picked up another piece of cake and handed it to the prince, saying softly, "Prince, please try this cornmeal cake. It has a sweet and soft texture and is also delicious."

The prince took the steamed bun and took a bite. He smiled and said to the first wife, "Mm, it's really delicious. Bijun, you are really thoughtful."

"Bijun, this water chestnut pastry is what you like, try it quickly." The prince said as he picked up a piece for the first wife and put it in her mouth.

The two of them ate their meal in a sweet and affectionate manner, their eyes only on each other.

Cai Lian, who was standing next to him, smiled and said, "Our prince and his wife are truly a match made in heaven!"

After breakfast, the eldest lady came to Daiyu's courtyard to help her put on makeup and choose clothes.

"Miss Lin, come with me to watch an opera today. I heard that the new actor in the opera troupe sings very well." As the eldest lady said this, she finished drawing Daiyu's eyebrows.

Daiyu looked at herself in the mirror and said with a smile: "Fujin, the distant mountains you painted are really beautiful. After you change your clothes, we will leave."

After a while, the two arrived at the teahouse.

The eldest wife ordered a few plates of cakes, took the opera list, and asked Daiyu to choose an opera.

Daiyu looked at the list of operas and thought to herself, "My wife invited me to see a play. She has always been thinking of me. I might as well order one that everyone will like."

Daiyu requested a play called "The Jade Hairpin." Concubine Dai asked her in confusion, "What's so special about this play?"

Daiyu smiled slightly and said slowly: "This play tells a story from the Southern Song Dynasty.

A girl named Chen Jiaolian was separated from her mother and ended up in Jinling in order to escape the Jingkang Incident.

In order to make a living, she had to become a Taoist nun. However, fate made her meet the man of her dreams - the scholar Pan Bizheng.

The two got to know each other and gradually developed a deep affection for each other. In the end, Pan Bizheng passed the imperial examination and broke through the constraints of feudal society to marry Chen Jiaolian.

The eldest wife nodded slightly and said with a smile: This man does not forget his roots. He did not abandon his beloved woman after he achieved fame.

In this way, they listened to operas, went shopping, ate at restaurants, went out to watch acrobatics, and spent the whole day outside.

When the two returned home, it was almost dark.

The eldest wife smiled and said, "Miss Lin, come to my room first. It's been a long time since you came to the mansion, and I want to give you a surprise."

After saying that, the eldest lady took Daiyu to her room.

The eldest wife lived in the main house on the north side of the palace. Walking through the living room and heading forward, you would reach her room.

The room was elegantly decorated. On the east wall hung an exquisite dressing table filled with all kinds of exquisite cosmetics and jewelry.

On the west wall stood a huge bookshelf filled with all kinds of books. Near the window stood an antique desk with the four treasures of the study neatly arranged on it, all covered with calligraphy practiced by the eldest wife.

The eldest wife pulled her into the inner room and sat her down, then took out a brocade box.

Daiyu gently opened the brocade box and saw a golden lock, a pair of oriental pearl earrings and a jade bracelet.

She quickly said, "Madam, this is too expensive, I can't accept it."

"Come here and listen to me. The prince and I have an idea. We will take you in first and you will be his woman. We will hold a banquet for you later." The eldest lady took her hand and took out the Hetian jade Ruyi.

"Someone, come and help Aunt Lin put on makeup and change clothes." Before the eldest lady finished speaking, Cai Lian and the others hurried out.

They changed Daiyu's clothes and covered her headscarf, and Daiyu held a jade ruyi in her hands.

Cai Meng and Xiao Ling supported her, and the eldest wife called the concubines and the maids in the mansion, and the servants followed behind.

"Miss Lin, I am your family. Today we will all send you off in style."

The eldest wife smiled and said, "Let's go!"

The crowd surrounded Daiyu and went out, with music and dancing all the way, making it very lively.

When they arrived at the gate of Cuizhu Garden, the prince was standing there to greet them. When he saw Daiyu, a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

The eldest wife handed Daiyu to the prince and said, "Prince, I hand Miss Lin over to you. You must treat her well!"

The prince nodded and said, "Thank you, Grand Wife, for your help. Bijun, thank you for everything you have done for Miss Lin and me."

Then the prince took Daiyu into the house.

"From now on, Miss Lin will be Aunt Lin. Everyone, please go away and let them have a good rest." The eldest wife said this and led everyone out of Cuizhu Garden.

Lang Gege cursed in her heart, "What's wrong with the eldest wife? The prince brought back women, and she helped him to collect rooms. Humph, one day I will become the prince's exclusive favorite." She thought so in her heart, but did not dare to show it.

Siyu and another concubine followed behind the first concubine. Seeing the prince happily marrying another woman, they felt uncomfortable but could only endure it.

The entire Cuizhu Garden was decorated with lights and was filled with joy.

The prince took Daiyu's hand and gently walked into the bridal chamber.

The house was filled with joy, with big red "囍" characters pasted on the windows and doors.

The bed was covered with bright red sheets and a neatly folded quilt.

Some foods symbolizing happiness and perfection were carefully placed on the bed: chestnuts, peanuts, sugar cubes and red dates, which were cleverly combined into a few words - may you have a baby soon.

Daiyu sat on the bed, covered with a headscarf.

The prince smiled and said, Yu'er, you are so beautiful, I finally married you.
