Red Mansion Beijingwang

Chapter 19 Sisterly Harmony
In the Ning'an Hall, Concubine Beijing was sitting on the high platform, on the embroidered pier below. Zhen Hua and Qin Keqing were accompanying her. As for the Zhen family's wife, she had already left.

Concubine Beijing looked at Zhen Hua with penetrating eyes, and said in a gentle tone: "Hua'er, you and I are relatives. From now on, we will treat the palace as our own home. If there is any shortage, please tell people Just go and buy it.”

Concubine Beijing was very satisfied with Zhen Hua. Her words were full of kindness and she treated her completely like a daughter.

Zhen Hua felt the kindness of Concubine Beijing, and couldn't help but feel happy. She stood up, bowed, and said in a clear voice: "The palace is not lacking in anything, I have to thank Concubine for your concern."

Hearing this, Princess Beijing smiled and scolded: "You kid, why do you call me Princess? Our two families are related by each other, how can we be separated from each other?"

Zhen Hua suddenly felt enlightened and responded in a low voice: "Aunt."

Concubine Beijing nodded slightly, Zhen Hua was a smart person, very knowledgeable, and a good daughter-in-law.

Praising her in her heart, Concubine Beijing looked at Keqing, who was looking down at her side. She had a kind attitude towards Zhen Hua. Keqing, who was also smart, should understand what she meant. Although she felt that Keqing was very appropriate. But apart from satisfaction, there is no benefit, so Keqing cannot be the princess of Beijing Palace.

After pondering for a moment, Princess Beijing said warmly: "My dear, you entered the palace early and already know all the rules. Hua'er has just arrived at the palace. If there is anything you don't understand, please remind me. It is best for sisters to live in harmony. .”

But when Qing heard this, her heart moved. She entered the mansion not long before Zhen Hua, so why did she need to remind her?And what about sisters living in harmony? Is this a reminder to them?
Now that Concubine Beijing had opened her mouth, Keqing couldn't help but refuse, so she stood up and agreed.

At this time, Zhen Hua turned her eyes slightly, moved to Qin Keqing, and said in a charming voice: "There will be many things to bother Sister Qin in the future, so don't dislike my sister then."

"Sister, you're welcome. Just call me Keqing."

But Qing knows that Zhen Hua came here for the name of Princess Beijing, and Princess Beijing has already recognized it in her words. In this case, Zhen Hua is most likely the future Princess Beijing and the mistress of the family. In this case, How can I bear the title of sister?

Zhen Hua raised his eyes and looked at Ke Qing, his heart moved slightly. During the previous chat, it was revealed from the words of Concubine Beijing that she was the concubine appointed by her cousin. She originally thought that she was just a good-looking person, but she never expected that she was someone who knew how to advance and retreat. The strange concubine Beijing liked it quite a lot.

Thinking of this, Zhen Hua took Ke Qing's jade hand and said "blame" in words: "Didn't my aunt say that we are all sisters, what's the point of being polite? From now on, I will call you Ke Qing, and you will call me Hua'er. Let’s call each other equal, okay?”

But Qing nodded gently when he heard this and said, "It is my blessing to be able to become sisters with my elder sister."

Concubine Beijing in the hall was satisfied when she saw that the sisters were getting along. They were both smart people, and they knew everything about them. Moreover, they looked good at having children. Her son was lucky.

"The prince is here." Just as they were getting along, the mother-in-law's voice came from outside the corridor.

Zhen Hua's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but tighten her hold on Ke Qing's little hand. She glanced outside the curtain with squinting eyes, her cousin was back! !

But Qing didn't notice Zhen Hua's movements, and her mind had already flown outside the curtain. Somehow, the prince was here, and she felt calm.

After a moment, Shui Rong lifted the curtain and came in, and what came into view were three pairs of pretty eyes, each with a different expression, which made Shui Rong stunned.

"Greetings to mother." Shui Rong came back to his senses and immediately greeted the beautiful Concubine Beijing on the brocade.

Concubine Beijing saw Shui Rong, her jade face was full of smiles, and beckoned: "You're back, come to me."

Shui Rong raised his eyebrows when he heard this. This passionate stepmother was a bit overwhelming, but Shui Rong didn't feel disgusted. He walked up to the couch and sat down next to Concubine Beijing.

Concubine Beijing looked up and down at Shui Rong and asked with concern, "Will you have a lot of fun out of the house today?"

Shui Rong listened to Concubine Beijing's tone and felt dumbfounded. Was she treating him like a child?He really wanted to tell Princess Beijing that he was not a child.Shaking his head, Shui Rong said helplessly: "Mom, the child is just going out for a walk, not to play games. By the way, my son passed by the market and brought a gift to his mother."

When Concubine Beijing heard that he had brought her a gift, her eyes were bright and her face was full of joy, but she "reprimanded" her: "I don't lack anything, so why not bring a gift?"

The Prince's family in Beijing has a great cause, so what can they lack?

Shui Rong heard the words and didn't take it seriously. Women always say what they mean. As long as they mean it, they will be happy to hear even a simple word. This is especially true for the insecure stepmother. Without saying much, she took out the lipstick box and handed it to Mrs. Bei Jing. In front of the concubine.

"Mother, this is Ruyifang's rouge. The child thinks it smells sweet, and it is just right for you, mother."

The rose is elegant and charming, with a faint sweet fragrance. The scent lingers in the nose, making people feel relaxed and happy, which is the same as the feeling of being dissolved in water by Beijing Princess.

Concubine Beijing looked at the lipstick box that Rong took out and couldn't laugh or cry, and cursed: "These are for young girls. I'm already old and yellow, so what's the use of it."

Are people old and pearly?Are you kidding me? Although Princess Beijing is a middle-aged lady, she is only in her early thirties, which is the second golden age of women, when her charm is at its peak.

"Mother is always young in the eyes of her children, and no one else can compare with her."

Coaxing people naturally means picking up pleasant words, not to mention that Shui Rong is not all about coaxing people. With Princess Bei Jing's appearance, it is really difficult for ordinary people to match her. It has to be said that Shui Rong's stepfather has good taste.

Listening to Shui Rong's words of "filial piety", Princess Beijing became even more happy. Her smile was written on her jade face, like golden chrysanthemums in full bloom. When the old King Beijing was here, she didn't have any lipstick, and she never thought that her lips would turn yellow with age. When I received the gift from my "son", I felt a little inexplicable.

After a moment of trance, Princess Beijing looked at Zhen Hua in the hall and said, "Mother knows your filial piety, so let me give this box of lipstick to Hua'er on your behalf."

With that said, Concubine Beijing beckoned: "Hua'er, come here and see if the lipstick your cousin gave you matches your wishes."

Hearing this, Zhen Hua raised her eyes to look at Shui Rong, pursed her lips, moved closer, took Yan Zhi and said shyly: "My cousin gave it to me, it's naturally very good."

Shui Rong was amused by what Concubine Beijing did. She gave it to him in front of him. Was this to express her attitude to him?Are you so optimistic about Zhen Hua?

Only then did Shui Rong look at Zhen Hua. She saw Zhen Hua with a light application of powder on her face, a light green dress, and a freshly picked white hibiscus on her head. She was beautiful and moving, and she was acting like a shy and timid daughter. ,Touching.

Although Zhen's paintings are bright and beautiful, the water-soluble color will not make the mind faint. The Zhen family is a mess inside, which is really difficult to get along with, and the other party's purpose is too strong, which always makes people feel uncomfortable.

Having said that, it's not about the person, but for now, Zhen Hua is decent and generous, Shui Luo can't show off his face to others, let alone his cousin.

Shui Rong thought for a moment and felt that she could just be an ordinary cousin, so she greeted her kindly: "Second cousin, I haven't seen her for a while. She's been doing well lately."

Zhen Hua was secretly happy when she heard this, lowered her eyes and whispered in a low voice: "Everything is fine, please help me, cousin."

Seeing that the two of them were harmonious, Princess Beijing felt relieved and said, "Brother Rong, Hua'er will stay in the palace for a while. You are my cousin, so you need to take more care of her."

Looking at Princess Beijing's meaningful expression, Shui Rong was speechless. There were so many people in the palace, and they couldn't even take care of a daughter?Take more care?What kind of multiple additions?Ask the concubine to lead by example and demonstrate again.

However, the cheap lady gave the order and Shui Rong could only comply.
