Red Mansion Beijingwang

Chapter 279 Concubine Beijing: Increasingly out of position

Beijing Prince's Mansion, inside the spacious hall.

Zhang Youshi, who was dressed in a green robe, was sitting on the chair with his eyes slightly closed, as if he was resting his mind.

Shui Rong stepped in, his eyes fell on Zhang Youshi who was sitting on the chair with his eyes closed, and he greeted with a gentle expression: "Mr. Zhang, I have kept you waiting for a long time."

After returning from Prince Yong's Mansion, Shui Rong declined to pay his respects to Princess Beijing on the pretext of being drunk, and went straight back to his courtyard. Shui Rong was not surprised that Zhang Youshi was waiting at the Prince's Mansion before him. It turns out that the Zhang family was in Xicheng However, he valued Zhang Youshi's medical skills, so he gave him a house close to the palace, which was convenient for commuting.

To win people's hearts, you will not be limited to money.

Seeing this, Zhang Youshi bowed respectfully, but his eyes were looking at the young man's face. He saw that his complexion was rosy, his eyes were bright, his breathing was steady, and he did not appear to be sick. He felt a little doubtful in his heart.

Didn’t you say that the prince was unwell?

After greetings, Shui Rong sat on the main seat, turned his eyes slightly, waved his hand and said: "Okay, you all go out first. I have something to ask Mr. Zhang."

When Shui Rong and Zhang Youshi were the only two people left in the hall, Shui Rong said, "It's nothing important to invite you here today. I just want you to check on me."

Hearing this, Zhang Youshi bowed and said, "Your Majesty, you are so polite. This is my duty. Please allow me to take your pulse."

"Hope" means that the prince's symptoms cannot be seen and can only be further diagnosed and treated.

Shui Rong was not in a hurry. He stared at Zhang Youshi and said in a deep voice: "I suspect that someone has given me an aphrodisiac. Sir, please investigate carefully."

It is said that diseases should not be treated. Facing the doctor, he had nothing to hide. Shui Rong was overly suspicious of today's ridiculous things. Even if it was under the guise of "drunk sex", he still became suspicious.

After thinking about it, Shui Rong felt that it must be related to drugs. As for why he was drugged, it must be that the good nephew was trying to win over him, or it was a way to control him.

But if you really wanted to control him through this, you should have caught him on the spot so that you could get the handle. However, he walked out of Prince Yong's Mansion unharmed.

This point made Shui Rong deny it, thinking it should be a beautiful accident.

Just with a cautious attitude, Shui Rong asked Zhang Youshi to come over and check it out. Don't take it lightly.

After all, Princess Yong had only been seen a few times and had not spoken to her for a few words. Her face, which was almost 70% similar to her, made the drunk Shui Rong lose her composure, which was a bit unusual.

Hearing this, Zhang Youshi's face was startled for a moment, but he soon calmed down. Among the big families, there were many cases of using medicine to invite favors, not to mention the noble prince of the county. It must have been that the prince favored some noble person in the house, and felt that something was wrong. It was strange, so I asked him to investigate.

Thinking of this, Zhang Youshi gently chinned his head and felt his pulse with a calm expression.

After a while, Zhang Youshi frowned slightly, then withdrew his hand to take the pulse and said, "There is nothing strange about the prince's body."

Shui Rong was silent when he heard the words. There was nothing unusual, that is, he did not use the aphrodisiac. In this way, it was an accident caused by drunkenness. He was really speechless.

Zhang Youshi raised his eyes and glanced at Shui Rong, pondered in his heart, and then said: "My lord, I have heard that if the spices are mixed with trace amounts of datura flowers, which are not easily detectable by others, the smell of them has an aphrodisiac effect, and it will also have an aphrodisiac effect afterwards. Hard to find."

Since the prince mentioned this matter, he must have discovered some clues and had doubts in his heart, so Zhang Youshi told the truth about what he knew. As for the facts, it was not his business.

Shui Rong frowned when he heard this. Isn't this the so-called aphrodisiac?

Speaking of which, when he was in the side room of Prince Yong's Mansion, he did feel that the scent of sandalwood in the room was too strong. At this time, Zhang Youshi mentioned it, and he became suspicious again.

However, personal preferences vary, and the sandalwood used is naturally different, which cannot be regarded as evidence.

After a deep groan, Shui Rong's eyes fell on Zhang Youshi, and he raised his hands and said politely: "Thank you sir for reminding me. I have a lot of work for you this time. Please go to the side hall for a rest. I will ask someone to prepare some tea and snacks."

Zhang Youshi felt relieved when he saw that Shuirong was as polite as ever. He stroked his beard and said, "Since the prince is fine, I can't stay longer. If you need me, just send someone to let me know."

Not to mention that his son's great future lies in the young man in front of him, but with the courtesy of a county king, he has no reason to treat him coldly.

Shui Rong didn't say much when he saw this. After letting the maid send Zhang Youshi out, he sat on the top chair, feeling a little sad.

Is this ridiculous thing today an accident or a plan? If it is an accident, don't worry too much, but if it is a plan, there will definitely be no peace.

It's not Shui Rong's fault for making unreasonable speculations, but as a member of the royal family and in a high position, he has to be cautious.

I thought about it for a moment, thinking that it would be better to wait until the next time we talk in detail to observe Zhang Paner's attitude towards this matter.

While he was thinking about it, Xiangling, who was wearing a pomegranate red dress, came over holding a teacup, handed the teacup over, and said softly: "Your Majesty, please drink tea."

Shui Rong took the tea cup and took a sip, then said: "By the way, you have someone prepare warm water. I want to take a bath."

After all the tossing in Prince Yong's Mansion, I felt sticky and uncomfortable, and I had wine sprinkled on my body, so I felt a little uncomfortable. I just wanted to take a shower and clean up the remaining traces.

For now, just pretend that this ridiculous thing never happened and act like a serious scumbag for once.

Xiangling nodded lightly when he heard the words and went down to give orders.

Ning'an Hall.

Concubine Beijing was sitting on a high platform in a luxurious outfit, her every frown and smile was full of brightness. Below her, Keqing, Tanchun, Baochai, Daiyu, Yingchun, Xichun and Li Wan all looked the same. Here, the hall is full of pearls and greenery, and there are birds and birds and swallows.

While they were chatting and laughing, the mother-in-law outside the house suddenly said: "The princess is here."

Everyone was silent after hearing this, and looked outside the room. On the other hand, Concubine Beijing's beautiful eyebrows were slightly frowned, with a hint of doubt on her charming face.

How come I didn't hear the lifeblood coming?

After a while, Yuan Chun walked lightly into the hall, first greeted her and said, "My daughter-in-law wishes my mother well."

Concubine Beijing frowned slightly when she saw that it was Yuan Chun. She suppressed the sadness in Fang's heart and lightly opened her red lips and said, "You didn't attend King Yong's birthday with Brother Rong, so why are you the only one who came back?" .”

This monkey cared less and less about her as a mother. Because there were more lovers in the house, her status was lowered and she was no longer ranked. It was really sad.

Not only Concubine Beijing was confused, but everyone in the hall was also so confused. Their willow eyes revealed the meaning of inquiry. However, Concubine Beijing was there and it was difficult for them to ask questions.

Yuanchun heard the words and replied softly: "Mom, the prince is drunk and dizzy, so he went back to the house to rest first and asked his daughter-in-law to apologize to you."

When Princess Beijing heard that the monkey was dizzy and unbearable, she put all the sadness behind her. She immediately sat upright, holding the embroidered handkerchief in her bare hands. There was a worried look on her beautiful eyebrows, and said: "Then why don't you tell the kitchen to do it?" Make some hangover soup and send it over."

This monkey, why doesn't he know how to cherish his own body?

Yuanchun knew that her husband was fine, and said with a calm expression: "Mom, the prince just drank too much wine and feels a little tired, but it's nothing serious. My daughter-in-law has asked the people in the kitchen to prepare the sobering soup. And we even invited Mr. Zhang to come over.”

When Princess Beijing heard this, she was even more worried. She had invited a doctor to come. How much wine would she have to drink? She immediately wanted to go and have a look. She just thought that she was Princess Beijing. How could she lose her composure and repeat herself again? He sat down and said softly: "In that case, let Brother Rong have a good rest."

Having prepared the sobering soup and invited the doctor over, everything was absolutely foolproof. The rest was what Yuanchun, as a daughter-in-law, had to do.

But having said that, this monkey was anxious before getting married, but after getting married, he felt a little empty deep down in his heart. Sometimes when I think about it, I really miss the days when my mother was dependent on each other. Mother and son only had eyes for each other. It's not like it is now, and I don't know how many precious children are separated.

It is true that children are debts from previous lives, even if they do not flow out of her belly.

Yuanchun nodded when he heard this, thinking the same thing in his heart.

As the words fell, the eyes of everyone in the hall flickered, but Qing was worried and wanted to take a look at that "cruel" person, but he had scruples and lowered his eyes in silence.

Xiangyun was more lively and said softly to Tanchun beside him: "Third sister, how about we go see my brother later."

Tanchun's expression moved slightly when he heard this, his eyes turned slightly, and he said softly: "Brother-in-law is dizzy and needs a rest, so let's not disturb him."

Baochai lowered her head and remained silent, her bright eyes under her apricot eyebrows turned slightly, her bare hands tightened on the embroidered handkerchief in her hand, and there was a hint of entanglement in her reputation, and she didn't know what to think for a moment.

Daiyu was also worried in her heart, her smoky willow eyebrows were ringed with a bit of sadness. She cared about her godbrother, but when she saw Baochai from the corner of her eye, a smile couldn't help but appear at the corner of her mouth, as if she had noticed it in the girl's heart. Thoughts.

In the side room, the warm water was ready, and Shui Rong walked towards the side room. Under Xiang Ling's service, he took off his clothes and soaked in the bathtub with rose petals.

Xiang Lingsu, whose cheeks were already as hot as fire, held the towel in her hands and came closer with her head lowered. She dipped the towel into the tub and began to scrub gently.

When Shui Rong saw Xiang Ling's erratic eyes, two blushes appeared on her charming face, and the hand she was wiping with trembled slightly, feeling funny for a moment.

It's not that she has never seen the world and is still shy and unbearable. Ganqing Yingluo has taught her in vain, or it could be that she has eaten too little and is not yet familiar with it.

While Xiangling was scrubbing, she noticed the looming red marks on the young man's back. She stroked them with her green-white fingertips. There was a hint of concern between her brows. She couldn't help but asked softly: "My lord, why do you have scratches on your back?" .”

Shui Rong raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He understood that Xiang Ling was not a straightforward person. Since she said there were red marks, she couldn't lie.

It's just that Shuixu didn't know why there was a red mark on her back, but she didn't even have to think about what happened. It seemed that she was distracted and infatuated at that time, and the beauty's heart was confused. Coupled with his rampage, the beauty couldn't bear it. , his men were careless and accidentally left some traces on him.

Xiangling is cute and naive, and she doesn’t know what it means. If she were replaced by Yingluo, she would be pouting and cursing which little coquettish hooves dared to hurt the prince. Even Qingwen, who is still young, can probably guess it. One or two, I couldn't help but choke out, "My lord, did you provoke some stray cat and let the cat scratch it?", how could he ask more questions.

Thinking of this, a hazy memory emerged in Shui Rong's mind. The beautiful woman's graceful joy, the oriole's sweet and soothing cries, she could not help but feel a little warm in her heart.

That nephew and wife are really a bit addictive.

After coughing lightly, Shui Rong said, "Is there any? Maybe it was done accidentally."

With that said, Shui Rong decisively changed the subject and said, "I remember that you were abducted when you were a child, but have you ever thought about finding your biological parents?"

Hearing this, Xiangling's delicate body trembled slightly, and she continued to scrub the young man's shoulders with her bare hands. Her eyebrows were lowered, and there was a hint of sadness in her voice. She said quietly: "This slave was abducted when she was very young. She doesn't have anything to do at home." Remember, you can’t find it anywhere, besides, the people in the palace treat me very well, so I don’t think much about this, I just want to serve the prince well and repay my kindness.”

For Xiang Ling, her past memories were all about being bullied and not having enough to eat. She couldn't think about these unbearable past. Now in the palace, the prince not only didn't beat her, but also let her With enough food and clothing, reading and writing, in her heart, the palace is her home.

Shui Rong smiled softly when he heard the words. This girl is really cute and naive. If she really doesn't want to look for her in her heart, why should she say that she can't find her?

Shui Rong also understood Xiang Ling's thoughts. After all, they were his biological parents. How could Xiang Ling turn a blind eye to this, as he was probably thinking about his biological parents when he was suffering hardships in his early years!

Thinking of this, Shui Rong said: "You bought it from Jinling, so your ancestral home must be in Jinling. So, I'll send someone to check it out and see if I can find it for you."

In fact, Shui Rong knew Xiangling's parents. His father, Zhen Shiyin, and his mother, Fengshi, were originally from Suzhou. When Xiangling was four years old, she was abducted by a kidnapper when she was looking at the sparkling lanterns in the community because of improper care by the slave Huo Qi. After being raised, It was originally sold to Feng Yuan, the prince of Jinling, but was snatched back by Xue Pan to be his concubine.

Knowing such details, it would be a simple matter if Shui Rong was willing to look for it.

Originally, Shui Rong didn't want to meddle in these nosy matters, but Xiang Ling was so happy that it was a good idea to smile for Bo Jiaren and help him find his biological parents.

Hearing this, Xiangling stopped wiping her hands, her beautiful eyes widened, and there was a look of disbelief between her brows, and she was stunned in place.

She was pampered in the palace, so what kind of hardships... Well, except for some inexplicable hardships, she was basically treated like a young lady. Now the prince has to find her biological parents for her, which is really touching.

Involuntarily, Xiangling's beautiful eyes were full of mist, and she knelt on her knees and said, "I thank you for your grace."

Originally, as a slave, she shouldn't have made any demands, but the temptation to find her biological parents was too great for her to refuse.

Shui Rong turned around and saw Xiang Ling giving a big salute. He understood in his heart. He stretched out his hand to wipe the tears from the corner of the beauty's eyes. He looked at this gentle and charming face and said with a smile: "The sea is vast, what do you mean? I don’t even remember it, I’m afraid it’s hard to find it, so why should I thank you now?”

From the perspective of others, finding Xiang Ling's biological parents is almost impossible, and it is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.

Xiangling felt the young man's warmth, her jade cheeks were slightly red, she pursed her pink lips, and said softly: "I believe in the prince. Even if I don't find him, I still miss the prince's kindness."

To be honest, she didn't have much hope for it, but this was the prince's love, how could she not be satisfied, let alone send people to look for it, at least she had an idea.

Shui Rong chuckled when he heard this. They all said that Xiang Ling was cute and naive, but he felt that Xiang Ling was very smart. Otherwise, how could there be a classic "Xiang Ling's Poetry"? A vicious master.

Gentle and generous, with a charming temperament, these are not the qualities of a maid, she is clearly a serious boudoir daughter. In the original work, Xia Jingui cannot tolerate Xiang Ling. Apart from the so-called jealousy, I am afraid she is also ashamed of herself.

His fingertips caressed the beauty's face, feeling soft and smooth, and said softly: "I just talk without making any gestures. After waiting for this, I'm afraid that your girl's heart will get into the poetry book again. "

Compared with Yingluo and Qingwen, Xiangling is not actually a qualified maid. After she was allowed to read and write, most of her attention fell on poetry and books. Qingwen even hurt Xiangling several times. , said that Xiangling Mo was stunned.

But it's not her fault, after all, it's because of Shui Xiong's indulgence.

Hearing this, Xiangling's jade cheeks became more and more pink, and her beautiful eyes glanced at the young man sheepishly. Her daughter's embarrassment was evident on her charming face.

As the young man said, she was originally a personal maid, but she didn't do many things that a maid should do. Not to mention the other servants in the house, Qingwen always said that she was lucky, and even Yingluo sometimes said Tired and crooked.

She raised her eyes and glanced at the young man, and saw his joking eyes. She was so shocked that she quickly lowered her eyes. Her long eyelashes trembled, her cheeks were rosy, and she whispered: "I will follow Sister Yingluo carefully." Learn, eat. Eat well."

After the words fell, Xiangling Yu's cheeks turned red, and her heart beat wildly. That familiar feeling came to her heart, as if something was blocked in her throat, and she felt short of breath.

Water soluble: "."

Well, Xiangling is still the charming and naive Xiangling. This sincere heart is very touching.

He reached out and stroked Xiang Ling's head, suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and said warmly: "I'm joking with you, I can read your book with peace of mind."

After saying that, Shui Rong turned around, lay peacefully on the backrest of the tub, and said happily: "Get up and take a bath with me."

Hearing this, Xiangling nodded lightly and stood up to help the young man bathe. She had already made up her mind that she must study hard and serve the prince wholeheartedly.

In the bathing room, the girl outside suddenly said: "Your Majesty, Miss Bao is here."

When Shui Rong heard this, he was a little surprised. He knew that Baochai had always been dignified, but he didn't expect to come over to look for him. It seemed that he knew that he was unwell and was worried about him, so he came to see him. (End of Chapter)
