Lin Daiyu's Rebirth

Chapter 342: Duke Zhuang's Dream of Butterflies

When Baoyu heard the shouts of "The prince is here!" he was startled and hurried to the door.

He carefully straightened his clothes, thinking to himself that this mission was all thanks to the prince's support, and he had to thank him today no matter what.

However, Daiyu on the side seemed to have heard nothing and continued to sit steadily on the pearwood round chair without even moving.

At this moment, Daiyu saw Baoyu running towards the door so quickly, and couldn't help but smile slightly. Then she leisurely picked up the cup of fragrant tea on the table and took a sip.

On the other side, Baoyu was happily waiting at the door, waiting for the prince to arrive.

In the blink of an eye, a cup of tea passed; after a while, the time of an incense stick also passed by in a hurry;

But the door was still empty, and there was no sign of the prince.

Daiyu finally came to her senses and thought to herself, "It must be that parrot imitating Xiaowan's voice, deliberately teasing us!"

Thinking of this, she quickly stood up and called out:

"Brother, please come in quickly! It's just that naughty parrot playing a prank!"

Baoyu was standing outside the door, full of confusion. Why had the prince not come in even though he had been waiting here for so long?

Suddenly, he heard Daiyu's cry from inside the house. After realizing that it was the parrot causing trouble, he stepped into the house.

Seeing that the maids were gone, Baoyu carefully took out a small box from his sleeve and handed it to Daiyu.

Daiyu was startled at the sight, and in a panic she stretched out her hands to decline, saying, "Second brother, I'm pregnant now, there's no need for me to dress so elaborately!"

However, Baoyu used a firm look to signal her to open the box and see what was inside.

Daiyu had no choice but to gently open the box, and was instantly stunned - she saw a pair of exquisite kingfisher butterfly earrings quietly placed in the box.

The pair of earrings are in an elegant light blue color, like half a dancing butterfly.

There are also two round pearls inlaid on the wings, which are cleverly combined to form a complete and vivid image of a butterfly.

Such beautiful butterfly earrings are so beautiful that they make you look like fairies.

Daiyu was so excited that her whole body trembled slightly. She subconsciously closed the lid quickly and handed the box back to Baoyu.

Daiyu said lightly:

"Second brother, these earrings are so beautiful!

You should give it to Sister Bao."

Unexpectedly, Baoyu walked quickly to Daiyu's side.

He first gently raised his hand and carefully took off the Dongzhu earrings that Daiyu was originally wearing.

Then he put the pair of beautiful butterfly earrings firmly on Daiyu's earlobes.

At first, Daiyu kept shaking her head to show that she was unwilling to accept the gift.

As soon as Baoyu put them on for her, she couldn't wait to reach out and take off the earrings.

But suddenly, Baoyu got angry, took off the butterfly earrings and was about to throw them away.

Baoyu looked at the earring and said loudly:

"I know you all dislike me!

I know you are the legitimate wife now, so you have seen all kinds of rare things!"

After saying this, Baoyu paused and continued:

"This is my monthly salary!

I received the silver and wanted to give it to you, my sister, as a New Year's gift!"

After saying that, Baoyu picked up the butterfly earrings and was about to throw them away.

Daiyu hurriedly said with a smile, "Brother Bao, your temper hasn't changed at all. I'll just wear it!"

Before Daiyu could finish her words, Baoyu smiled and asked her to sit in front of the dressing mirror.

He carefully picked up the pair of butterfly earrings and gently put them on Daiyu's earlobes.

Daiyu then came back to her senses as if awakened from a dream, and her eyes involuntarily turned to the mirror in front of her.

In the mirror, the butterfly earrings on her ears seemed to come alive all of a sudden, like a butterfly fairy fallen into the mortal world.

Baoyu stood aside, smiling happily. This scene was truly peaceful and harmonious!

Daiyu couldn't help but say:

"You should change your habit of eating people's rouge!

Don’t curse me anymore!”

Baoyu immediately squatted on the ground again, feeling wronged and crying unwillingly like a child.

Daiyu had no choice but to comfort it, but Baoyu sobbed and said:

"Forget about eating the rouge on someone's lips, everyone in the mansion has left!

Those things are already in the first half of my life!"

The more Baoyu spoke, the sadder he became. Daiyu stood by and was so anxious that she didn't know how to comfort him.

But Baoyu stared into Daiyu's eyes and said with sobs:

"Sister Lin, can I hug you?"

Before Daiyu could react, Baoyu suddenly hugged her in his arms.

Daiyu only felt her face flushed, and her mind was instantly drained of energy.

She was held in Baoyu's arms like a puppet.

Baoyu closed his eyes and murmured softly:

"It's all my fault. I lost the most important piece of jade in my life!

I was with you every day, but I didn't expect you to marry someone else!"

Suddenly, there was a shout from outside: "The prince is coming!"

The cry of "The prince is here" made Baoyu quickly let go of Daiyu. The two of them immediately stood on their respective sides and tidied their clothes.

Suddenly, the two of them thought, could it be a prank by the parrot?

At this time, the door creaked open, and it turned out that the prince really came.

As soon as the prince came in, he saw that the door of the courtyard was closed and there was no sound of anyone.

He was about to ask Xiaowan about Fujin's situation, but he didn't want to see this scene when he opened the door.

——Daiyu and Baoyu’s clothes were wrinkled, and tears were streaming down their faces, but they both stood on their own sides.

The prince had no choice but to suppress his embarrassment and anger, and said calmly:

“So it’s Brother Bao who’s here?

Why are you still crying?

Could it be that he was fighting with your young mistress for food and got angry? "

Baoyu then remembered that he had come to apologize to the prince. He immediately walked up to the prince, extended his hand and bowed, saying with a smile:

"Your Majesty, Baoyu thanks you for your training. Now he has a proper job!!"

After saying this, Baoyu expressed his gratitude to the prince again.

After a few pleasantries, the prince wanted to keep Baoyu for dinner, but when he saw it was getting late, he was anxious to go back, fearing that Baochai would scold him if he came home late.

Ever since the prince came in, Daiyu sat there like a puppet.

The prince had no choice but to come over and whispered to her, "My Yu'er, what are you thinking about right now?"

After saying that, the prince gently touched Daiyu's face with his hand, but Daiyu actually took his hand away in disgust.

The prince immediately lowered his head, put his head close to Daiyu's face, and said with a smile:

"Silly boy, I didn't do anything with the first wife, stop being angry!"

Before Daiyu could say anything, the prince reached out, held Daiyu in his arms, and kissed her passionately.

Daiyu was still angry about what happened between him and the eldest wife, so how could she let the prince hug her? Suddenly, Daiyu angrily broke free from the prince's arms and sat alone in the corner.

The prince was ashamed as if he had been splashed with a basin of cold water. He angrily asked Daiyu:

"You don't want me to hold you, you want Baoyu to hold you, right?

What have you been doing in the room with the door closed for such a long time?

And are these butterfly earrings a gift from him?"
