Lin Daiyu's Rebirth

"Paulownia flowers? Sister, do you like Paulownia flowers?" Daiyu looked at Jiaorou in confusion. She never knew that Jiaorou, who was naturally dull, actually liked Paulownia flowers.

“Yes, sister, I like Paulownia flowers very much.

"Before I got married, there were several paulownia trees on our street. Whenever they bloomed, they had a subtle, tranquil beauty." Jiaorou said, tears streaming down her face.

After hearing this, Daiyu couldn't help but fall into deep thought. She began to imagine the appearance and smell of paulownia flowers.

"Sister, do you miss home?" Daiyu asked curiously.

"A tree of wind chimes heralds spring; the tung blossoms have fallen, and spring has already deepened," Jiaorou explained. "I wouldn't say I miss home." Even in this vast palace, she often felt lonely.

Just then, the sky gradually cleared up, the rain stopped and the sun came out.

Jiaorou said excitedly: "Yu'er, come on, the rain has stopped, I will take you to see if there are any paulownia flowers left." As she said that, she took Daiyu's hand and walked forward.

Daiyu followed Jiaorou, her heart full of anticipation. She wanted to see with her own eyes the paulownia flowers that Jiaorou had praised so highly, and experience the peace and tranquility they brought.

Finally, they arrived at a paulownia tree. Daiyu looked up and saw clusters of pale purple paulownia flowers hanging from the branches, like a string of small trumpets.

A gentle breeze blew, and the paulownia flowers swayed gently, emitting a faint fragrance. Daiyu took a deep breath, intoxicated by this wonderful atmosphere.

"How beautiful..." she exclaimed softly.

"Yes, they are beautiful, aren't they?" Jiaorou said with a smile. "Although Paulownia flowers are not as gorgeous as peonies or roses, their beauty is unique."

She saw Jiaorou gently picking up the clean paulownia flowers on the ground and putting them in her bag. Daiyu looked at her blankly, feeling a pang of sadness in her heart.

"Look at the withered flowers falling in spring, that is the time when the beauty grows old and dies. Once spring is over, the beauty grows old, and no one knows when the flowers fall and people die!" Daiyu recited these two lines of poetry unconsciously and burst into tears instantly.

Yes, the past is still vivid in my mind, and burying flowers and writing poems seem like things from the previous life.

"Sister, why are you still standing there like an idiot? Come and pick them up with me." After Jiaorou said this, she turned around and looked at Daiyu, and found that her face was covered with tears.

She quickly put down the bag in her hand and kept comforting her, "Why are you still crying? What's wrong, sister?"

Daiyu wiped her tears, said nothing, and silently followed Jiaorou to pick flowers.

They gently picked up the fallen flowers and put them in Juan's bag, saying tenderly, "Take them home, wash your feet and hands, and soak them. They smell so good."

"Sister, I have something I want to ask you for help?" Daiyu suddenly looked at Jiaorou earnestly, with a hint of expectation and uneasiness in her eyes.

Jiaorou's heart tightened and she asked quickly, "Sister, what's wrong with you? Did something happen? Tell your sister quickly." She held Daiyu's hand tightly, trying to give her some comfort.

Daiyu bit her lip lightly, tears glistening in her eyes, and said in a low voice: "I want to go out, but no one accompanies me, and the prince won't let me leave the house alone. Sister, can you take me to Rongning Street?" After saying that, she lowered her head, her face full of sadness.

Jiaorou widened her eyes and looked at Daiyu in surprise, wondering if she was crazy.

We are actually going to Rongning Street at this time!

Rongning Street is where Daiyu's grandmother lives. There lives a person that the prince is afraid of - Jia Baoyu. Because the prince likes Daiyu, he has always been resentful towards Jia Baoyu.

Now Daiyu actually wants to sneak back to Rongning Street to take a look.

Thinking of this, Jiao Rou couldn't help but frown and said worriedly, "Sister, do you know how many eyes will be on us if we leave the house? You are now the concubine appointed by the Empress Dowager herself. If you are not careful, you will be doomed."

However, Daiyu seemed to have made up her mind. She raised her head, looked at Jiaorou, and said with a smile: "Sister, I really want to go see Rongning Street. Let's go and see it and come back after we finish.

Besides, I believe that as long as we are careful, nothing should happen. Sister, please help me, okay? " Her tone was full of pleading, making it impossible to refuse.

Jiao Rou sighed helplessly, thinking that Daiyu was really stubborn and heartbreaking. In that case, she could only accompany her to take this risk.

She nodded and said, "Okay, sister, let's go. But be careful and don't get into trouble."

So, the two of them quietly left the palace and set out on the road to Rongning Street...

"Why haven't you come for so long?" Under the moonlight, a man dressed in a black robe asked the woman in front of him gently.

"Godfather, Xiao Quanzi was injured by the prince. I begged for mercy and was able to stay in the palace these days." The eldest wife said softly, with a trace of worry and helplessness in her eyes.

She sighed softly and continued, "The prince is completely obedient to the new Princess Yu. He is simply her exclusive favorite."

Then, she took out a packet from her bosom and handed it to the man in black, saying, "Godfather, this is some fine tobacco I brought specially for you. Please accept it. Try it and see if you like the taste."

"Oh, I was wondering how you could use a bird to deliver messages. How have you been doing in the palace recently?" The man in black asked with a smile as he took the tobacco.

"It was Xiao Quanzi who framed the new Princess Yu. The prince found out, beat her up, and kicked her out of the palace.

"Godfather, although Xiao Quanzi is a little cunning, he is still loyal. Let him follow you from now on." The eldest wife looked at the man in black with anticipation.

“You don’t have to worry about Xiao Quanzi, he just needs to follow me.

The identity of that woman will soon be revealed. She is destined not to stay in the palace. You should just focus on your own wealth and glory.” The man in black said this and disappeared into the night.

The eldest wife watched her adoptive father leave, then walked quietly towards the palace.

"Come on, let's go quickly. We've seen it all and it's very prosperous here, but we have to go back to the palace.

If the prince goes to my room, or yours, we'll be in trouble." Concubine Jin gently pulled Daiyu back.

Daiyu stood in a corner of Rongning Street in a daze, not wanting to leave.

Going over there is the imperially built Rongguo Mansion. I'm afraid the old grandmother will go to bed at this time. Daiyu thought silently.

"Let's go, let's go. Auntie, you've been here for two hours. If you don't leave, the door will be closed."

Daiyu looked at the quiet Rongning Street and still refused to leave.

Jiao Rou could only say: "The real farewell is not the Peach Blossom Pool, nor the Changting Ancient Road, but in the same evening filled with sunset glow, someone stays forever in yesterday."

Daiyu looked at Jiaorou quietly, all the grievances and longings suddenly flooded into her heart, and she burst into tears like a child.

"Cry, cry, wipe away your tears, forget the past, we still have to move forward." Jiaorou patted her shoulder gently and comforted her with a smile.

Daiyu said blankly: "I seem to have lost that poetic and picturesque little girl."
