Red Mansion Beijingwang

Chapter 242 Zhang Paner: The coolness of the royal family

Lamp time.

At this time, the lanterns have been hung up in Prince Yong's Mansion. In the flower hall, Prince Yong, who is dressed in royal robes, is sitting on a chair with his eyes closed and meditating. The fragrant tea on the tables has already cooled down.

Today there is a wedding at Duke Ning's mansion. King Yong knew that Shui Rong had always avoided him, so he did not go to congratulate him. Instead, he asked Zhang Pan'er to go, and he is currently waiting for Zhang Pan'er to return to the mansion.

Not long after, the mother-in-law's voice came from outside the hall, saying: "The princess is back."

King Yong looked slightly happy when he heard this. He stood up and walked out of the hall. He ran into the gorgeously dressed Princess Zhang Pan'er. His eyes were gentle and he said, "Pan'er is back."

When Zhang Pan'er saw Prince Yong coming to greet her, her heart could not help but warm up. She bowed Yingying and said, "I'm back, I'm worried about you."

It was not in vain that she showed off her face and went without invitation today.

King Yong looked at the gentle beauty in front of him, stretched out his hand to hold the beauty's bare hand, dismissed the servants and walked inside. As soon as he sat down, he asked softly: "Pan'er, have you seen Uncle Sixteen today?"

Zhang Pan'er was immersed in her husband's tenderness. When she heard the young man's words, her delicate body couldn't help but tremble. Her thin eyebrows sank slightly, and her heart became sad.

After all, they were still husband and wife, but she asked about it as soon as she returned home. How anxious was she to have something beautiful happen between her wife and her sixteenth uncle?
  King Yong frowned slightly when he saw this. He had previously persuaded Zhang Pan'er to accept this matter, which was based on emotion and reason. It took a lot of energy from him, so how could he still be entangled in this.

Of course, King Yong would not blame him in words. After hesitating, he looked into the beauty's clear eyes sincerely and said warmly: "Pan'er, you also know that this matter is extremely important to me. If you can be pregnant with ten children as soon as possible, The heirs of my sixth uncle are more beneficial to me."

When Zhang Pan'er heard this, her heart felt inexplicably. This husband, in front of her, earnestly asked her to get pregnant with someone else's child. She really didn't know what to say to her.

Pursing her pink lips, Zhang Pan'er whispered: "Your Majesty, I thought that my mother knew about your body. If I have an heir, I'm afraid it will cause endless trouble."

Although borrowing a seed to give birth to a child can silence the public, this matter was secretly planned by Queen Zhou and she knew it well. Once Prince Yong's palace has an heir, Queen Zhou will be able to guess the reason, which will be even more unfavorable to Prince Yong.

When King Yong heard Zhang Pan'er talking about his physical problems, a hint of sinisterness flashed through his eyes, but it was fleeting and not revealed.

He knew that Zhang Pan'er still had some resistance to borrowing seeds to have a child, so in order to help her completely untie her knot, he explained with sincerity: "Pan'er, you don't need to worry about this matter. The root cause of the rumors from the outside world is that the palace There is no heir, this is irrefutable, but if there is no evidence to question the royal bloodline, who dares to say it lightly, our queen mother cherishes feathers the most, and will not put herself at a disadvantage."

Regarding this point, King Yong knew very well that questioning the royal bloodline must be well-founded, otherwise no one would dare to speak lightly, and for the sake of the royal family's face, the royal family would definitely not let such scandals be publicized.

Symptoms such as "waning sun" that are difficult to talk about are kept in the dark even by people who live with them day and night, let alone outsiders, who even dare to publicize them.

With this strong smell of conspiracy, don’t think everyone is a fool.

Therefore, King Yong was sure that even if Queen Zhou knew that he had a son by borrowing seeds, she would not, or dare not, publicize the issue of "waning yang".

Unless it's a life-or-death situation, but when it comes to this life-and-death situation, everyone will have to rely on their ability, and whoever has the bigger fist will make the decision. This is one of the reasons why King Yong asked Zhang Pan'er to seduce Shui Rong and borrow the seed to give birth to a son.

Seeing King Yong's careful consideration, Zhang Pan'er knew that his decision had been made up. He lowered his head and sighed softly, and said in a calm tone: "Uncle Sixteen was dining in the main hall. I have never met Uncle Sixteen, but I am with him." Aunt Sixteen chatted for a while, but Aunt Sixteen avoided talking about the relationship between nephew and daughter-in-law, but instead treated her like sisters, so I borrowed the donkey from Poxia and promised to visit the palace more often."

Men and women were seated separately. As a housewife, it was hard to get close to her.

King Yong couldn't help but feel happy when he heard this. If he went to visit the palace, he would be declined. However, Zhang Pan'er, as a female family member, was at an advantage. Now that he entered the back house of the palace, the first-come-first-served basis was near the water, so the odds were much higher.

Thinking of this, King Yong looked at the beauty with a hint of approval and said, "Pan'er, you did a good job."

Zhang Pan'er had a strange look on her face when she heard the praise from her husband. She pursed her pink lips and looked up at the young man in front of her who should have been intimate with her clear eyes. Her bright willow eyes revealed a hint of pleading and said: "Your Majesty, let's not fight for the throne. I will always be by your side. How about you live a good life with peace of mind?"

For the sake of the throne, her husband asked her to shamelessly seduce other men and borrow seeds to have children. She really couldn't lose her face for such ridiculous things.

Even if King Yong suffers from the disease of "waning yang", as long as the couple respect each other as guests, Zhang Pan'er would have nothing more to ask for.

King Yong looked at the pitiful jade face in front of him, and his heart couldn't help but soften. Only his Pan'er would never leave him.

However, he was only touched for a moment, and King Yong regained his composure, and said with a serious face: "Pan'er, you think too simply. As the legitimate son of the royal family, I can no longer escape this identity. Even if I take a step back, they You won’t let me go easily.”

Sometimes it’s not about whether you are willing to fight, but whether you have the ability to fight. It is easy for him to take a step back, but those people will take a step back?
  I'm afraid it will be a fierce pursuit!
  What's more, King Yong doesn't want to retreat.

Zhang Pan'er couldn't refute the words for a moment. She bit her lips tightly and said in a clear voice: "I will accompany my husband to meet my father. I will report everything to my father and beg him to give me a way out. "

Report everything, including King Yong's illness, not to mention whether Emperor Yongkang believed what they said, but as long as he knew that there was something wrong with King Yong, he would cut off the crown prince. In this way, the struggle between the royal family would be over. It doesn't affect their husband and wife.

For a prince who had no foundation, not many people would care about him, and even Emperor Yongkang would love him and protect him.

King Yong frowned when he heard this, looked at the beauty with a rather impatient expression, and said, "Pan'er, please stop fooling around."

Reasons and reasons have been explained, why are you still thinking about shirk? Is it that you don't want to help him so much and tell your father everything? Isn't this blocking his way?

How to repay the hatred of "root destruction".

Seeing this, Zhang Pan'er's heart couldn't help but feel bitter, her head drooped, and her pretty jade cheeks turned pale.

In her husband's heart, compared to the majestic palace, she is probably as small as dust!

King Yong knew that Zhang Paner had always been gentle, courteous, virtuous and dignified, so he asked her to sacrifice her face to seduce men. The unparalleled sense of shame in her heart was like a mountain, blocking the way forward.

After some calculations in his mind, Yong's eyes flashed with sparkle, hesitating, it was very likely that he would spoil the big thing, and for the sake of the big cause, he could only be ruthless.

Then King Yong's expression gradually became cold, and he said calmly: "Pan'er, let me tell you the truth. Uncle Sixteen has a cautious temperament, and it is quite difficult for him to get involved. Therefore, you need to contact Uncle Sixteen as soon as possible. Find out if he is interested in you, if not, I need to make plans as soon as possible."

Although King Yong felt that Zhang Paner's seduce Shui Rong was the best way, for royal children like them, beauty is not a necessity, and they would make the right choice in the face of huge risks.

Therefore, King Yong was not sure about this matter. He just wanted to give it a try. If it didn't work, he had to find other ways and could not just waste it on Shui Rong.

Zhang Paner's heart felt bitter after hearing this. Listening to King Yong's words, she felt like she was being treated as a commodity. She didn't know what to say, and her gentle face gradually became desolate.

King Yong seemed not to notice, or perhaps didn't care, and continued: "Pan'er, if you want to succeed, you must make Uncle Sixteen unable to refuse. As long as the rice is cooked, Uncle Sixteen cannot stay out of the matter."

Zhang Pan'er lowered her eyes and said nothing, her eye circles gradually becoming red, "I can't refuse", "cooked rice, cooked rice", how should she do it, imitate that promiscuous woman, posing and begging for mercy? Or use some despicable means to destroy someone's innocence?
  King Yong looked at the beautiful woman holding the willows in the weak wind, his eyes flashed with pity, but in the blink of an eye he said resolutely: "Pan'er, you and I are one and the same. This king and your Zhang family will both prosper and suffer, so Prince Yong's Mansion must If you have an heir, I will give you half a year. If this matter fails, I will find a man in the house for you, so that you can worry about it."

The King Yong who has an heir is completely different from the King Yong who has no heir. Even if it is a baby girl, it doesn't matter. At least it can expose the rumors from the outside world and prevent him from falling into passivity.

After saying that, King Yong turned around and left without waiting for Zhang Pan'er's reaction.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Pan'er's originally pink face turned pale. Looking at Yong Wang's indifferent back, her bright willow eyes were dim and dull, as if they were all gray.

She didn't expect that her husband would not give her an ultimatum, and if the matter failed, he would actually want to find a man for her in the palace. The men in the palace were all servants, and she, the majestic Princess Yong, would have to suffer like this. Humiliation, even naming the Zhang family to pressure her.

For the sake of the so-called throne, the husband who treats her sincerely is so cruel. This is the coldness of the royal family. It is really chilling!

Ningguo Mansion.

In the wing room, Yuanchun and Youshi gathered together to talk when they had nothing to do, while sisters Tanchun and Youshi sat aside and waited.

Tan Chun's bright eyes looked at the You sisters from time to time. Fang felt a little confused in her heart. She still remembered that she brought Fu Qiufang back to the palace when she went back to Duke Rongguo's palace. Now, Duke Ningguo wants to bring two women back to the palace. It's really Don't let your hand fail. She is smart and capable, and she admires her eldest sister's kindness. If it were her, she probably wouldn't be able to do this.

I'm not afraid that my brother-in-law won't be able to bear it.

Yuan Chun noticed Tan Chun's expression and said with a smile: "Third girl, the second sister and the third sister will temporarily stay in the palace. You should make the arrangements properly."

Hearing this, the You sisters looked at Tanchun. They also knew that this little girl was the sister of Princess Beijing. She had gone to the palace as a dowry, so her status was already different.

Now the princess asked the little girl to arrange matters. Third Sister You pulled Second Sister You and bowed Yingying and said: "I will have to trouble the girl from now on."

After all, Tanchun was still young, so it was inappropriate to call her sister, but the girl's words were more appropriate.

Although Tan Chun was a little puzzled, this was the decision made by the eldest sister Yuan Chun. Naturally, she would not comment and greeted her with a smile: "You two sisters, don't be polite. If there is any shortage in the palace, I will tell you as soon as possible." Can."

I will also ask later, what arrangements are made for the You sisters, girls or aunts? There are rules for this.

The You sisters couldn't help but feel relieved when they saw Tanchun being so kind. After all, they were part of the same family and the sisters had very good temperaments. Even if the sisters went to the palace, they would not be bullied.

At this moment, a woman came in from outside and announced, "Princess, the prince is here."

Hearing this, everyone looked towards the door of the house.

The second sister You looked over with her willow eyes, which were bright and flowing, and her heart could not hide the throbbing. The third sister You also looked over with her beautiful eyes, her eyes were charming, but she was not as obsessed as the second sister.

Not long after, Shui Rong came in smelling of alcohol. Seeing the gorgeous Youshi, she smiled and said, "Sister-in-law You is here too."

Youshi stood up to greet her, with a bright smile on her pretty face, and responded: "I'm pretty busy with things outside, so I just want to chat with the princess."

At this time, the banquet was mostly about the same, and many guests were leaving one after another. In addition, Sister Feng was outside to help. She, the head grandmother of Ningguo Palace, happened to be accompanying Princess Beijing.

Shui Rong smiled and nodded, without saying anything, and walked towards Yuanchun.

Yuan Chunxing looked at Shui Rong, whose face was red, with a hint of worry in his brows, and said softly: "My lord, are you okay? Why do they let you drink so much wine?"

Shui Rong's eyes fell on Yuan Chun's plump face, and he said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, I know it well."

His identity was destined to be dazzling wherever he went, so when he attended the banquet, many people came to toast him, all of whom were from the martial arts lineage. They chatted along the way, and naturally, they had two more drinks.

Shui Rong sat down in the hall, looked at Yuan Chun, and said: "It's not too early, let the people below get ready, let's go back to the palace."

It was getting late now, and he had no plans to stay overnight in Rongguo Duke's Mansion. It would be better to go back to the Prince's Mansion as soon as possible.

Yuanchun nodded when he heard this, and responded meekly: "I've already greeted you at my grandmother's place, and I'm just waiting for you to come back, Your Majesty."

With that said, he took the fragrant tea handed over by Tan Chun, glanced at Tan Chun approvingly, and then said warmly: "Your Highness, take a sip of tea to moisten your throat."

Shui Rong smiled and took the tea and started to sip it. His wife was still considerate.

Yuan Chun noticed that Second Sister You's eyes fell timidly on Shui Rong, with a hint of concern in her eyebrows. She felt funny in her heart. She was really taken over by her husband's appearance.

After thinking about it, he waved and said: "Second sister, third sister, come here to see the prince."

After hearing the words, the two people came out. Yingying bowed and said, "I have met the prince."

"Second sister, third sister?"

When Shui Rong heard this title, he couldn't help but wonder, could it be the You sisters?
  Seeing Shuirong's confusion, Yuan Chun explained with a smile: "Husband, these two are sister-in-law You's sisters. I hit it off with them and invited them to stay in the palace for a while. What do you think, husband?"

Although Yuanchun knew it well, she couldn't just come up and say that these were concubines prepared for the prince. Besides, she had prepared these sisters and she could not let her husband eat them easily.

Shui Rong raised his eyebrows when he heard this, You's sister, that's right.

Involuntarily, Shui Rong glanced at the You sisters. One was wearing a green undershirt, with a beautiful face, crystal complexion, and a gentle and quiet temperament. This should be the second sister You.

The other one is wearing a pink skirt, has a gorgeous appearance, and a pair of bright, peach-like eyes with watery eyes, exuding a sense of seduction. That should be Third Sister You.

After a deep groan, Shui Rong looked as usual and said, "That's what the lady said."

Hearing this answer, Second Sister You couldn't help but feel relieved. Her bright willow eyes looked at the young man, the light was flowing, and her white cheeks were shy and red.

Yuan Chun glanced at Shui Rong but didn't say anything. Not to mention whether her husband liked it or not, at least he showed respect for her.

After a pause, Yuan Chun looked at the You sisters and said with a smile: "You have packed your things. Let's have a good talk with your sisters and follow us to the palace later."

Shui Rong raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this. All these things were packed away. Yuan Chun's efficiency was too high. However, Shui Rong did not express his opinion on this. After all, it was his wife's decision. He couldn't refute Yuan Chun's in public. face.

In a short while, the carriage was ready, and Shui Rong and his party walked towards the corridor. The two masters, Jia Zhen and Youshi, also came to see them off.

After chatting for a while, Shui Rong and his party got into the carriage and headed to the palace.

After the carriage went away, Jia Zhen's originally gentle face changed, and she looked at the gorgeous Youshi with an expression that gradually became unkind. She said in a cold voice: "What are you doing? You two sisters didn't even know how to stay in the house to entertain you. When word got out, they said I couldn’t tolerate people.”

Youshi was scolded, her gorgeous face suddenly turned pale, and she explained: "The princess and the two sisters hit it off immediately, so I invited them to stay in the palace for a while, and I can't refuse."

She would not be so idiotic as to say that she sent her two sisters to the palace.

When Jia Zhen heard that Youshi said that she was staying for a while, her slightly raised brows couldn't help but soften, and she said in a clear voice: "After all, she is your sister. I would have picked them up earlier to come to the house to get together. As a brother-in-law, I won't treat them badly." .”

Youshi was heartbroken when she heard this. She obviously knew what a ridiculous husband she was. She must have been moved by seeing her two sisters, and she guessed that there would be nothing new to eat when they came back.

Thinking of this, You couldn't help but feel glad that she listened to the third sister's advice. At the same time, she was also glad that Yuanchun was generous. If she had kept the third sister, she would have been ruined by Jia Zhen.

She stopped Jia Zhen, could she?

Looking at Jia Zhen's stern expression, Youshi Nuonuo agreed, but she cursed in her heart. If she could, she would go to the palace to rob someone. As long as the person was in the palace, there was nothing Jia Zhen could do.

But then again, if my two sisters want to stay in the palace, they must gain the favor of the prince. If not, they will have to come back sooner or later.

Although she was confident in the appearance of her two younger sisters, she still had to remind them just in case.

At this time, Lai Sheng, the steward of Duke Ning's mansion, came over and said, "Master, Brother Rong drank too much and is now being carried to the bridal chamber."

Jia Zhen frowned when she heard this, and was about to scold this unreasonable son. Suddenly, a light flashed in her eyes, her face turned rosy, and she waved her hand and said, "I'll go over and take a look."

Youshi looked at Jia Zhen's back, Liu Ye's thin eyebrows frowned slightly, "Brother Rong has eaten and drank too much, what's the use of you as a father? You're really worrying."
