serious man in the red chamber

Chapter 419 Taking concubines during the day
The sun is already westward.

The side door of Rongguo Mansion opened with a click.

Xue Pan walked out in a brand new festive robe, with a smile on his face but a hint of loss in his eyes.

Then, two young men came out of the door carrying a small sedan in green clothes.

Xue Pan protected the sedan chair and walked towards the Beining County Prince's Mansion in the east.

Today is the day when Jia Huna and Xue Baochai were introduced. They married wives at dusk and took concubines during the day.Choosing it when the sun is in the west is already a way of taking care of the Xue family's dignity, and it is also a way of caring for Xue Baochai.

The distance between the two mansions was only a hundred steps or so. After a while, Xue Pan escorted the sedan to the Beining County Prince's Mansion. Instead of going through the main entrance, he entered the west corner gate directly.

The two young men carried the sedan to a distance, and when they were about to turn, they put down the sedan and retreated. At this time, two well-dressed young men aged seventeen or eighteen came up, lifted the sedan and walked in.

Xue Pan followed him to the Chuihua Gate, the sedan fell down again, and the two boys also withdrew.

Lai Sheng's family and Lin Zhixiao's family were already standing outside the door with many wives in charge, smiling, obviously waiting for Xue Baochai's sedan chair.

Xue Pan knew that he could no longer send him in, so he leaned towards the sedan curtain and lowered his voice: "Sister, my brother can only send you here. If you have anything to do in the future, you must tell your brother. My brother will ask the prince. You can still say a few words in front of me, so don’t wrong yourself, ah!”

After a while, Xue Baochai's voice came from the sedan: "Yes."

Lai Sheng's family came over and said with a smile: "It's getting late. Uncle Xue, please go back." He raised his hand.

The two rough ladies who had been prepared came over, lifted the sedan and walked into the hanging flower gate. Lin Zhixiao's family followed with several steward wives.

Seeing the sedan disappear, Xue Pan turned around and left.

Everyone walking along the way was through side or corner doors. Soon, the group came to the courtyard that Xue Baochai had seen long ago. There were two red lanterns hanging outside the courtyard door.

The two rough ladies were walking in the yard carrying the sedan chair. They calmly and effortlessly carried the sedan chair and the person outside the hall, put it down gently, clapped their hands and walked out.

Lin Zhixiao's family came up to open the sedan curtain and helped Xue Baochai get out of the sedan.

Xue Baochai, who was wearing a pink wedding dress, held Lin Zhixiao's hand and walked out of the sedan.

As soon as he got out of the sedan chair, Xue Baochai was stunned.

The maid Ying'er was standing on the stone steps outside the hall with a smile. At this moment, she walked over quickly and took Xue Baochai's arm, "The princess ordered someone to bring me here."

Xue Baochai didn't speak, just said "hmm" and walked towards the hall.

The floor of the living room was covered with red carpet, and big red words "Happy" were posted on the front wall. Lin Daiyu was already sitting on the chair above, looking at Xue Baochai who walked in with a smile.
Tanchun, Xichun, Xiangyun, Xing Xiuyan, sisters Li Wen, Li Qi, and Xue Baoqin were all there, looking at Xue Baochai who walked in with different moods.

Instead of worshiping the parents of heaven and earth, there is only one ceremony, which is to kowtow to Lin Daiyu and serve tea.

A maid had already placed a kneeling mat in front of Lin Daiyu. Xue Baochai did not hesitate, stepped forward and knelt on the ground, kowtowing respectfully.

A maid came over holding tea.

Xue Baochai held the tea to Lin Daiyu with both hands: "Princess, please have some tea!"

Lin Daiyu looked at her deeply, then took the tea bowl and took a sip: "Get up."

Xue Baochai: "Yes." He answered and slowly stood up.

Lin Daiyu put down the tea bowl: "The prince has gone to the military camp, come back later."

Xue Baochai: "Yes."

Lin Daiyu smiled: "Don't be formal, just be the same as before." She stood up and said, "Girl Xuan is making trouble again, I have to go and have a look." Then she said to sisters Tanchun and Xichun: "It's still early. , you guys are chatting with Miss Bao here." After that, he walked out.

Lin Zhixiao's family and the steward's wife followed closely and walked out.

Only the master and servant Xue Baochai and sister Tanchun were left here, as well as their maids and a few little maids.

Looking at Lin Daiyu's disappearing back, Xue Baochai lowered his head and remained silent. "elder sister."

Xue Baoqin walked over, with a little grievance in his voice.

Xue Baochai came to her senses and said, "Yeah." He reached out and touched her face, then forced a smile on his face.

Shi Xiangyun gently touched Tanchun with his arm.

Tan Chun rolled his eyes at her, then walked over with a smile: "Sister Bao, don't stand here, go in and have a look." After saying that, he pulled Xue Baochai towards the inner room.
The misty morning light was already shining through the door and window.

Jia Hu woke up and hugged "Lin Daiyu" in his arms as usual. Suddenly, his eyes suddenly opened, and a pretty face different from Lin Daiyu came into view. It was Xue Baochai.

Jia Hu finally came to his senses and looked steadily at Xue Baochai, who was sleeping soundly.

Her eyebrows are very dark, her lips are very red, her skin is very white, snow-white, and her figure is plump and round. With her red lips and dark eyebrows, she looks very beautiful, charming and mature.

In the dream, Xue Baochai still frowned, her lips were moving slightly, and there were still tears in the corners of her eyes.

Looking at her look, Jia Hu secretly smiled bitterly in his heart. Perhaps because of the man's little thoughts, he was a little rough with her last night. After all, Xue Baochai, who was as talented and handsome as Lin Daiyu, made him his concubine, so he forgot about it. She is still a girl.

Not to mention Lin Daiyu, he was not willing to deal with amber like this. He lost his composure.

Thinking of this, Jia Hu sighed softly and gently touched Xue Baochai's head. At this time, her face turned red.

Jia Hu spoke in a very soft voice: "Are you okay?"

Xue Baochai closed her eyes tightly and said nothing.

Jia Hu smiled and hugged Xue Baochai tightly with one hand, while the other hand slowly moved around her body.

Xue Baochai finally couldn't help it anymore, held Jia Hu's hand, buried her head tightly on his chest, and whispered: "Your Majesty."

Jia Hu stopped teasing her, patted her back gently and said, "It was my fault last night, don't keep it in your mind."

Xue Baochai didn't speak, but his head pressed closer to her.

Taking his hands out of Xue Baochai's arms, Jia Hu picked up his underwear from the bed and put it on.

Xue Baochai reacted and realized that he should help Jia Hu get dressed. When he was about to sit up, he was held down by Jia Hu.

Jia Hu: "It's still early, you can sleep a little longer." After saying that, he lifted the quilt, got off the bed, put on his clothes, put on his shoes and walked out.

The bedroom was silent for a moment. Xue Baochai looked at the top of the bed in a trance. For a long time, he suddenly pulled the quilt and covered his head, and then suddenly opened the quilt again. It was not a dream.
In ten days, Shi Guangzhu became a completely different person.His head was tied with a wide band, and his face was gloomy.

It was already broad daylight, and the twilight came in through the door in the window lattice.

Another sleepless night.

Last night the Emperor came to see him again and said something that frightened him.

In the next two days, the old concubine will take action against the nobles of Nan'an County Prince's Palace, including Lin'an Marquis Palace and Baoning Marquis Palace. She will not even rule out directly attacking Nan'an County Prince's Palace.

This is crazy!
If the Wu family still has a chance of success, the Nan'an County Prince's Mansion is forcing them to rebel!

Just then, Li Shouzhong walked in. He was startled for a moment, then looked at the band on his head: "What? Are you sick?"

Shi Guangzhu: "I have a headache, which is partly caused by the night breeze and partly caused by the recent bad news."

Li Shouzhong sighed: "Just bear it a little longer. It will be fine after this period of time."

Shi Guangzhu smiled bitterly and shook his head. Will he survive this period of time?Thinking too much!
Li Shouzhong continued: "By the way, news came from Chaoyang Gate just now that the old Nan'an County Prince is back. He should be home soon."

After hearing this, Shi Guangzhu's heart suddenly became confused.I don't know whether to be happy or worried.No wonder the old concubine dared to take action. It turned out that she knew that the old Nan'an County Prince was back.However, being of the same noble lineage also gave him the sorrow of being a rabbit or a fox.
