Red Mansion Beijingwang

The main hall of the east courtyard.

Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang, and Yuan Chun, three generations of grandparents and grandchildren sat together and chatted in detail. As for Mrs. Xing, an "outsider", when she saw this situation, she had already understood and left.

Mrs. Wang held Yuan Chun's hand affectionately, looked down at Yuan Chun's belly, her eyes flickered slightly, and asked softly: "Big girl, it's been half a year since you married into the palace, is there any news?"

Logically speaking, since Yuanchun married into the palace, there should have been news in January or February. Now, half a year has passed, and Mrs. Wang has not heard any good news, and she is always uneasy.

Jia Mu knew what Mrs. Wang meant and watched quietly. After all, as a mother, it was normal for Mrs. Wang to care about her daughter. Besides, this was also a business matter.

When Yuan Chun heard this, he understood in his heart. His eyebrows frowned slightly, with a hint of sadness in his brows. He couldn't help but caress his lower abdomen with his bare hands and fell silent.

This belly is fed a lot, but it just doesn't grow. What can she do?
  Mrs. Wang's heart sank when she saw this, like Yuan Chun, there was no movement yet.

The rooms on the left and right were filled with family members, and Mrs. Wang had nothing to avoid. With a cold look on her face, she asked, "But the prince is obsessed with that Miss Qin, so he left you in the cold."

From Mrs. Wang's point of view, the only possibility of hard work being fruitless is that the prince is lazy and therefore cannot bear fruit. The person who caused the prince's laziness is probably the "threat" Miss Qin.

At this time, Mrs. Wang was even criticizing Tanchun in her heart. She sent her there to help Yuanchun. She originally had great expectations, but now it seems that it has no effect at all, and her efforts have been wasted.

Hearing this, Yuan Chun shook his head lightly and explained: "The prince treats his daughter very lovingly and does not neglect her. As for sister Qin, the prince does not favor her. Sister Qin is waiting for her daughter to be pregnant before the prince officially Marry Sister Qin and enter the house."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang felt relieved. It would not be a big problem if she waited for her daughter to get pregnant before "marrying" Miss Qin. After all, no man had three wives and four concubines, let alone a dignified prince.

It's just that he hasn't been left out in the cold, nor has Hu Meizi seduced him away. Could it be that the seeds haven't sprouted because of the prince's problem?

When it comes to matters between husband and wife, Mrs. Wang selectively ignores her daughter, so she naturally speculates about the problem of water dissolution. After all, the number of people in the Beijing Palace is so thin that it is difficult not to make people suspicious.

After thinking about it for a moment, Mrs. Wang asked pointedly: "Is there anything wrong with you, Your Majesty?"

Yuan Chun was a smart person, how could he not know what Mrs. Wang was referring to? She immediately frowned and became dissatisfied. Even though the person in front of her was her biological mother, she was criticizing her husband's ability in front of her. She was so arrogant. Can't stop coming either.

"Your Majesty is in his prime and has never done anything wrong. Mother, don't make unreasonable guesses."

Not only was he in his prime, he was full of energy and endless torments, especially the "Lu Bu fighting three heroes" in the Furong Pond that day, but he was still in high spirits the next day.

When Mrs. Wang heard this, her face looked a little resentful, but she didn't say anything.

Jia Mu listened clearly and didn't take it too seriously. As long as Yuanchun was favored in front of the prince, this day would last for a long time, not just a moment.

After groaning, Mother Jia asked softly: "What's the attitude of Princess Beijing?"

The Prince of Beijing has very few heirs, and there are not even any legitimate heirs. The one who cares about the heirs the most right now is the Princess Beijing. If she sees Yuanchun's stomach without any movement, she may not be able to rest in peace.

For example, arrange more concubines and the like to extend the number of heirs for the palace.

When Yuan Chun heard this, he paused for a moment, his eyebrows sank slightly, and he said truthfully: "I have been urged to do so by my mother a few times."

Upon closer inspection, Concubine Beijing had urged her several times regarding the issue of an heir. She just saw that Shui Xiong had a clear attitude, so she was not too urgent. However, this was only temporary.

Originally, when Yuanchun married into the palace, Concubine Beijing had some dislike in her heart. However, her husband was affectionate and mostly tried to make peace with her. In addition, Yuanchun's conduct in the world eased the relationship with Concubine Beijing.

There is no movement in the stomach at the moment. As time goes by, even if Shui Xiong is protected by her husband, it will not have much effect. I am afraid that it will be difficult for the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to get along with each other.

And this was one of the reasons why Yuanchun was almost obsessed with Yanmian's heirs. Otherwise, why would the previous mother mention Sister Bao's affairs, and not point her out in disguise.

Mrs. Wang was silent when she heard the words, and she could understand the urging of Princess Beijing in her heart. She sighed softly and said, "Fortunately, the prince is caring."

Mrs. Wang understands the difficulties of getting along with mother-in-law and daughter-in-law best, but as soon as the words come out of her mouth, she suddenly stops. She glances at Jia Mu with a calm expression from the corner of her eye, and feels resentful in her heart.

These words are full of bitterness and deep hatred. Isn't this a way of arranging Jia's mother?
  Yuanchun noticed that his mother had said something wrong, so he decisively changed the topic and said, "Where is my aunt? I still have something to discuss with my aunt."

Jia Mu glanced at Mrs. Wang, her eyes were indifferent, and she did not express her dissatisfaction. She snorted in her heart, and for Yuanchun's sake, she stopped arguing with her.

However, listening to Yuanchun's inquiry, Jia's mother became a little confused. What could Yuanchun have to discuss with Aunt Xue? Could it be because of Baoyu?

Turning her eyes slightly, Jia Mu raised her eyes to look at the dignified Yuanchun and asked, "Big girl, what matters do you want to discuss with your aunt and wife?"

Yuanchun had nothing to hide about this. He glanced at Mrs. Wang and said in a quiet tone: "Mother likes Bao Yatou very much and wants Bao Yatou to enter the palace, so I want to discuss it with my aunt."

It's impossible to say that Yuanchun didn't feel a little aggrieved about Baochai entering the palace to serve. It's not that she was jealous or anything, but that Baochai was chosen by her biological mother for Baoyu, and she also quite recognized it. .

I just didn’t expect that my sister-in-law would become a sister instead of becoming a sister-in-law.

Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang were shocked when they heard this. Did Concubine Beijing mean what they thought when she let Bao Yatou enter the palace?
  Mrs. Wang frowned and asked hurriedly: "Concubine Beijing wants to recognize Bao Yatou as her goddaughter?"

It is nothing more than that Mrs. Wang would think so, because there are already two examples of Xiangyun and Daiyu. Perhaps it is Mrs. Wang who deliberately avoids the worst result.

Yuan Chun looked at Mrs. Wang who was a little anxious, and understood clearly in her heart. She shook her head lightly and said, "My mother wants Bao Ya to enter the palace to serve the prince."

Mrs. Wang's face turned pale when she heard this, and she couldn't help but feel bitter in her heart. This Bao girl was the one she had taken a liking to for Baoyu. How could she have been chosen by Concubine Beijing? What about her Baoyu? She couldn't really do it. Marry that sick young man!
  Jia Mu was silent. She was not satisfied with Baochai. Firstly, Baochai was born in a merchant's family and was not from the right family. Secondly, Jiamu always liked people with straightforward personalities, but Baochai was foolish and clumsy. Being too mellow in dealing with others.

I'm just not satisfied, but I can't deny Baochai's excellence.

What Jia Mu really cares about is her granddaughter Daiyu. However, Daiyu is weak after all, so she still can't make up her mind. She thinks about riding a donkey to find a horse. If Daiyu cannot take care of herself well, then she will settle for the next best thing.

Now that Bao Yatou is favored by the palace, Jia Mu has nothing to say.

After groaning, Jia Mu nodded and said, "I really need to ask my concubine to discuss this matter."

Mrs. Wang wanted to say something when she saw this, but after all, it was Princess Beijing who took a fancy to her, so she couldn't refute it, and even promoted it. Otherwise, Yuanchun was afraid that she would be jealous in Princess Beijing's heart. impression
  Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang couldn't help but sigh in her heart, not only because she lost a good daughter-in-law, but also because she felt sad that it was difficult to be a daughter-in-law.

At this moment, Sister Feng walked in furiously. She looked at Jia Mu on the couch and said, "Ouch," "Old ancestor, you have to help me, or else I'll be embarrassed today." Lost my fortune."

When Jia Mu heard this, she couldn't help but frown and asked, "But what happened to the first son?"

Sister Feng sighed and said: "There are so many guests here today. Mrs. Gaoming grabbed a lot of them, and even Princess Yong came. With her majesty reaching the sky, I'm afraid we, who are living in a humble settlement, can't suppress it." I'm here to ask my ancestors to teach me about religion."

"Princess Yong"

Jia Mu frowned when she heard this. Although the Duke's Mansion was a bustling house, she had no friendship with the prince's princess. How could she come here to congratulate her?

Regarding the difficulties mentioned by Sister Feng, Jia Mu also understood in her heart that in fact, the women in the back house who came to celebrate today were either rich or noble. Mrs. Gaoming had a lot of them, and the one who could come forward in the back house of Duke Ningguo was the You family. , However, you, who comes from a small family, would inevitably be rude when faced with such a big battle, so he asked Sister Feng to go to Ning Mansion to help.

That's all for ordinary people. Now that Princess Yong is here, Sister Feng is really not qualified for her position. If she doesn't entertain her well, she will be laughed at.

To put it bluntly, the situation is getting a bit big now. Sister Feng is here to ask for help. Otherwise, if something goes wrong, she will not be able to get it.

After groaning, Mother Jia looked at Yuanchun and said, "After all, this is our Jia family's business, so we can't lose face. Big girl, why don't you go and have a look and help me if you can."

The granddaughter who was trained by herself knew that with Yuanchun's steady temperament, nothing could go wrong. Moreover, Yuanchun was the Princess of Beijing, so she was able to control the situation with style.

Yuanchun's starry eyes flickered slightly when he heard this, he responded, stood up and said, "Then granddaughter will go and have a look."

A wing in the east courtyard.

Baochai untied the autumn-colored belt around her waist with her bare hands, and her goose-yellow tulle skirt slid down her smooth skin, revealing a large area of ​​snow-white skin with a radiant glow.

"Hey, why is the prince here?"

At this time, Ying'er's voice came from outside, and Baochai was startled. She put the fallen skirt back on her body with a blushing face. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and her bright apricot eyes were like autumn water. , with little ripples.

The brother-in-law did it on purpose.

Baochai had doubts in her heart earlier. After all, if her brother-in-law really couldn't catch the teacup, it wouldn't be possible for the tea to be spilled on her skirt accurately. What a coincidence!

But even if she creates an opportunity to be alone together, her brother-in-law won't be right behind her as soon as she comes to the wing, and he won't be afraid of being noticed. Apart from anything else, that astute girl Lin must have noticed it!
  Not long after, Shui Rong stepped in from the outside, raised his eyes to look at the demure girl standing beside the brocade, and said softly: "Sister Bao."

When Baochai saw the person coming, her heart was filled with joy. She looked at the warm young man with her bright almond eyes, and said softly with a bit of excitement, "Brother-in-law, you are here."

When Shui Rong heard this, he couldn't help but smile knowingly. It was Ying'er who was guarding outside the house. Shui Rong guessed that Baochai knew his intention. Now Baochai's words made Shui Rong even more convinced.

This is going both ways.

Moving closer, Shui Rong said in a warm voice, "My brother-in-law is here to apologize for staining my sister's skirt."

Hearing this, Baochai's plump face turned a little bright red, and her heart secretly spat, asking for apology or not, the thief called the thief to catch the thief, it was all high-sounding.

Raising her loving almond-shaped eyes and giving the young man an angry look, Baochai asked knowingly, "How can brother-in-law make amends?"

When Shui Rong heard this, he couldn't help but feel amused. The girl in front of him had been living with his widowed mother since she was a child. She was well versed in the ways of the world and was definitely not a silly and sweet person. If she didn't want to in her heart, how could she let Shui Rong control her.

Thinking of this, Shui Rong stretched out his hand and gently pinched the girl's chin, and said softly: "My sister hasn't changed her clothes yet, so my brother-in-law will help my sister change."

"No~"

Baochai's jade cheeks were as red as clouds. Just when he was about to spit out a few words, a warm breath followed. The two petals were soft and soft, revealing a bit of willfulness. Baochai was speechless and slowly closed his mouth. Beautiful eyes.

How come my brother-in-law kissed me without even saying a few words?
  "How is my sister's stay at the Duke's Mansion going?"

Shui Rong greedily smelled the fragrant cold fragrance of the girl, which was refreshing, as if he wanted to make people drunk under the flowers.

Baochai's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her tender lips were glowing with crystal clear luster. She heard the young man's soft whisper and responded softly: "Well, everything is fine."

I just miss my brother-in-law a little bit.

Shuiluo put his hand on the girl's shoulder and lifted it gently. The dress slid to the ground along the soft skin, revealing a piece of snow-white skin. He said warmly: "Brother-in-law, wait for my sister to change clothes."

Baochai was very shy, but facing the young man's tenderness, she couldn't resist. Her delicate body trembled slightly, and she subconsciously pressed her hand against the belly of the red mandarin duck and lotus bag in the white silk scarf, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother-in-law, I'll do it myself." become."

Is it the following offense to ask the majestic prince to wait on her to change her clothes?
  Shui Rong didn't care. He looked at the girl's fair complexion and her shiny snowy shoulders without any flaws. He whispered: "Fortunately, there are no scars, otherwise my brother-in-law would feel very guilty."

Listening to Shui Rong's unclear words, Baochai understood in her heart that the last time her brother-in-law acted recklessly and left a mark on her shoulder was still fresh in her memory.

Now that the brother-in-law apologized again, he couldn't help but feel his heart warm slightly. He pursed his pink lips, his jade cheeks were as red as the clouds, and said softly: "It will be fine the next day, brother-in-law, don't worry about it."

In fact, it was just a mark. She had not complained about her brother-in-law, but she only asked that he not leave that shameful mark on other places next time.

The water-soluble eyebrows slightly drooped, wondering how the fragile skin would heal the next day. She was obviously trying to comfort him. It had to be said that Baochai was indeed considerate.

Looking at the jade neck with creamy skin, Shui Rong couldn't help but move forward and take a sip. She felt that it was sweet and delicious in her mouth, and a softness spread out.
  Baochai's delicate body trembled slightly, and she let out a slight "hiss". A touch of rose appeared on her snowy shoulders, and she said in a trembling voice: "Brother-in-law, don't. Stop making trouble. It won't be good if people notice it."

He just finished saying nice things and came again. I really didn’t know what Baochai had to say, so he was so obsessed with it.
  The two of them were so close, and Baochai could feel the boy's burning warmth. If left unchecked, it would be easy to make people suspicious of a man and a woman living together in the same room.

After all, you can't see anyone.

When Shui Rong listened to Baochai's reminder, the four characters "cheating man and woman" could not help but appear in his mind.

For a moment, Shui Rong felt confused. He led Baochai's delicate hands, moved his head forward to sip the cool crystal earrings, and said in a deep voice, "Ying'er is guarding outside."

Ying'er is flexible and alert, and is a good girl who keeps an eye on others.

Baochai's jade cheeks were pink and tender, and her beautiful eyes were as bright as water. She held her hands in her hands and said angrily: "Brother-in-law..."

This familiar perseverance can't help but make Baochai's heart flutter faintly. It's really embarrassing for me.

And this is something Yinger is guarding outside? She just changed her dress, and it didn't take long. If the young man was allowed to do whatever he wanted, based on the length of time last time, how could he not make people suspicious.

Shui Rong was silent when he heard the words. It turned out that he just wanted to talk to Sister Bao about his feelings of missing her, so as to appease the girl, but...the sister was really alluring.

With a gentle sound, Shui Rong calmed down the restlessness in his heart and let go of Baochai's plain hand.

Baochai suddenly felt that his hand was empty, and the warmth in his palm disappeared. He raised his eyes and looked at the nonchalant face of the young man in front of him, and couldn't help but pursed his lips, feeling a feeling of shame and annoyance in his heart.

My brother-in-law is so decisive, just like that ruthless man.

Shui Rong didn't realize he was there. His eyes fell on the smoke cage and plum blossom skirt placed on the brocade. He stretched out his hand to unfold it and said warmly: "Come, Sister Bao."

Baochai looked at the warm face, and the plump cheeks were as hot as fire. It was clearly her voice to remind him, so how could she still question her brother-in-law's character? It really shouldn't be.

Her almond-shaped eyes blinked as she looked at the young man, her heart filled with joy and sweetness. She originally thought it was a naughty joke, but she didn't expect that the majestic prince actually helped her change her clothes.

In the young man's tender eyes, Baochai stretched out her snow-white lotus-rooted arms and passed through the sleeves without any hindrance, just like a fairy dancing, full of color, fragrance and beauty.

Shui Rong carefully held Baochai's collar and said softly: "My mother told Yuan Chun about my sister's benefits and asked Yuan Chun to take her into the house. I think it won't be long before my brother-in-law can live with you and my sister."

By that time, let alone Baochai's shiny hands, even... they would just shuttle around at will and leave footprints at will.

In fact, it's okay now. I think Baochai won't refuse.

Baochai's heart trembled when she heard this, and her moist almond eyes were filled with deep joy. She stared at the young man and asked in a trembling voice: "Brother-in-law, are you serious about what you said?"

As a traditional boudoir daughter, she was taught to be "pure inside and aspire to the four virtues". Innocence is more important than life, and she should not be taught and received privately. However, the young girl Huaichun, facing the boy she likes, is really Hard to control.

Although the girl was sympathetic to her brother-in-law's difficulties, she had long been looking forward to entering the palace deep down in her heart. Now that she not only had expectations, but also had the approval of Princess Beijing, her future mother-in-law, how could she not make Baochai happy?

Shui Rong smiled, smacked her pear-like cheeks, and said, "Brother-in-law, why have I ever coaxed you?"

Baochai gave the young man an angry look, stretched out her hand to wipe her face, and suddenly remembered something, her almond-shaped eyes narrowed and she said, "Brother-in-law, where is the eldest sister?"

Earlier, she and her brother-in-law were worried about Yuan Chun's attitude, so they kept it secret. Now the time is not yet ripe, and the eldest sister knows about it, but she doesn't know if she is dissatisfied.

But I thought this was something the concubine mentioned, so she probably wouldn't complain about it.
  Shui Rong stretched out his hand to pluck the green hair between the girl's forehead and said softly: "Yuan Chun doesn't know about the two of us. This matter is because my mother saw that Sister Bao is a good childbearer, so she mentioned letting you come into the house. Sister, just relax." yes."

Good fertility.
  After hearing this, Baochai felt ashamed and annoyed. How should I put it, it is a good thing to get the approval of Princess Beijing, but she is good at giving birth, so the implication is that she is plump.

Looking up at the young man with affectionate almond eyes, Liu Ye's slender brows revealed a curious look, and asked in a low voice: "Did the brother-in-law and the concubine mention this matter?"

Concubine Beijing would not talk about this matter with her eldest sister for no reason. Even if she seemed to be fertile, it would not change the concubine's attitude. It must have been her brother-in-law's idea.

Shui Rong heard this, with a smile on his handsome face. He leaned over and took another sip on the snow-white jade neck. He then leaned into the girl's crystal ear and whispered softly: "Mother is looking at my sister's bright, charming and submissive temperament." She is considerate and a first-rate good daughter-in-law, whom she loves very much. Brother-in-law, I don’t want to talk too much."

When you are intimate, the words a man says are not coaxing, they are words of love.

Baochai was so ashamed when she heard this, her hand tied with a pink belt paused, her beautiful eyes were like a pool of clear water, what a first-class good daughter-in-law, how can she be so good, brother-in-law's mouth Son, it looks like it's been covered with honey.

After a while, Baochai changed her dress under the intimacy of Shui Rong, and stood in front of the bronze mirror, looking at the conspicuous red mark on the jade neck, her jade cheeks were flushed, and her bright apricot eyes looked at the young man with anger.

How can she meet people like this?

Shui Rong smiled knowingly, he did it on purpose.

He stretched out his hand to lift Baochai's collar, covered it up, and said softly: "Okay, let's go out first, otherwise people will really notice."

Whether this matter can be concealed or not, it is better to conceal it. After all, this sneaky feeling is mainly concerned with Yuanchun's feelings and has absolutely no other thoughts.

Baochai looked at the conspicuous red mark in the bronze mirror that was covered by the collar, and her heart couldn't help but feel relieved. If it were an inch higher, it would really be impossible to cover it up, which showed that her brother-in-law still knew it. (End of chapter)
