Red Mansion Beijingwang

The news that Princess Beijing had given birth to twins, a boy and a girl, spread throughout the capital. Most of the military heroes of the Beijing Palace and relatives who were closely related to the palace also received this happy news.

Rongguo Gongfu, Rongqing Hall.

Grandmother Jia sat high on the soft couch, her old face filled with joy, and said, "I was worried about the eldest girl, but now it seems that she is so lucky to have given birth to twins, a boy and a girl."

Earlier, because of the decline of the Jia family, Grandmother Jia had no choice but to let Yuanchun, who was raised by her, enter the palace, hoping that she could help the Jia family in the future. But who would have thought that she would never come back after her departure, which made people feel helpless and sad.

Fortunately, Yuanchun was always blessed and married into the Beijing Prince's Mansion, which was a happy ending after all the hardship.

Yuanchun gave birth to a pair of twins, a boy and a girl, for Prince Beijing's Palace. This was a very auspicious sign, and it made Yuanchun's position in the palace even more secure.

In this way, the Jia family will be able to take advantage of the situation and rise, and she will be able to live up to the ancestors of the Jia family even in her grave.

It can be said that Grandmother Jia was filled with joy because she was happy about Yuanchun's happiness, but she was also relieved about the rise and fall of the Jia family.

After all, if what she expected was correct, the son born by Yuanchun would inherit the title of the prince. In this way, the Jia family would be worry-free for decades. When the next generation grew up, she would not ask for the Jia family to restore their family name, but would be content as long as they did not lose the reputation of the Duke's Mansion.

Mrs. Wang was even happier. Her daughter was doing well, and as a mother, she was proud of it. She looked up at Grandmother Jia, twirled the Buddhist beads in her hand, and said, "Madam, I want to go to the palace to visit the eldest girl in a few days. What do you think?"

Hearing this, Jia's mother paused for a moment, remained silent for a while, and said softly, "It's good for you as a mother to visit, but you still have to be careful and don't lose the priorities."

A grandson is a grandson after all. After all, he belongs to the palace, not the Jia family. Don’t let Mrs. Wang become too proud and lose her sense of proportion, causing herself to be despised.

To be honest, she actually wanted to go, but if the whole family went, it would steal the show, so it would be better for Mrs. Wang, as the mother, to go.

"Hey, daughter-in-law, you can save that."

Mrs. Wang responded with a smile. She didn't really care in her heart. After all, her daughter was the mistress of the palace and was very popular in the palace. What was there to be afraid of?

Grandmother Jia stared at Mrs. Wang, her cloudy eyes flashed, but she still said nothing.

After living together for so many years, Grandmother Jia knew Lady Wang's temperament. Even if she was too proud of herself, she would not lose her sense of propriety. The most important thing was that she knew that Lady Wang would definitely ask Yuanchun about the prince, which was exactly what she wanted.

After all, it was most likely that Yuanchun's child would inherit the title, but what if? It was better to confirm one or two things so that they could be prepared.

Pursing her lips, Jia's mother felt something was wrong. She looked around and suddenly changed the subject: "By the way, what happened to Feng girl these days? Why does she look a little strange?"

Normally speaking, when there was such a big happy event, that girl Feng would have rushed over in a hurry. How come there was no sign of her at this moment? It was really strange.

When I think about it carefully, it seems that something is not right since I went to Xue's house to attend Xue Pan's wedding banquet, but I can't figure out what's wrong.

After all, no matter how old and shrewd Lady Jia was, she didn't know that her granddaughter-in-law had been transformed from head to toe by someone.

Mrs. Wang was stunned when she heard this, then an indescribable expression appeared on her face. She considered her words and said softly, "I think it's because of Aunt Liu."

As a woman herself, Mrs. Wang thought she understood Feng Jie'er's thoughts. As her legitimate wife, she had no children. On the other hand, Concubine Liu, who was taken into the mansion, was getting more and more pregnant.

Especially Jia Lian's caring attitude towards Aunt Liu made Feng Jieer seem like an outsider, and made Feng Jieer suffer from all kinds of cold words. It would be good if she didn't collapse. How could it be normal?

At this moment, Fengjie was too bitter to care about these things, especially since Yuanchun was about to give birth to a child, which hurt Fengjie's heart even more.

Hearing this, Jia's mother suddenly realized something. Her old face looked helpless as she sighed, "Ah, Lian-ge is the same. He has no sense of propriety at all. It's really hard for Feng-ge."

Naturally, Grandmother Jia favors the filial Feng Jie, and because of her love for her, she is not in a good mood towards Aunt Liu.

She's nothing more than a concubine, there's no need to worry about it. If she wasn't pregnant with Jia's child, she wouldn't have agreed to bring her into the mansion.

Alas, it was also because Feng Jieer was kind-hearted that she suggested getting closer to the mansion. She deserves what she has sown.

Moreover, things have gotten to this point, but Aunt Liu is not willing to give advice. It's obvious that she has evil intentions. If she is allowed to continue like this, there's a possibility that she'll favor the concubine over the wife.

Having said that, it was not easy for Grandmother Jia to interfere too much in the matter. All she could do was to admonish Jia Lian. After all, Jia Lian was a legitimate grandson and the future heir to the Duke's Mansion. Even if she didn't like him very much, there was no need to cause unrest in the mansion because of him.

The situation is like this, what else can we do? We can only let Fengjie suffer.

When Mrs. Wang heard this, her lips moved a few times and then closed again.

Even Lady Jia doesn't care about this kind of thing, so why would she say anything? She's just looking for trouble.

After a moment's silence, Grandmother Jia suddenly said, "By the way, when you go to the palace to visit the maid, please invite Sister Feng to go with you and have a good talk with the maid."

After all, she is her most beloved granddaughter-in-law, who works hard. Grandmother Jia does not want her to be miserable in the future. She can protect Fengjie while she is still alive. Once... Yuanchun is a sensible person, she will handle it well. With Yuanchun's protection, Fengjie will not be without a backer.

At the very least, the possibility of "favoring a concubine and neglecting one's wife" must be eliminated.

"Yes, my daughter-in-law knows." Mrs. Wang nodded slightly.

Feng Jieer is also a relative of Lady Wang, and she doesn't want Feng Jieer to lose power. Going deeper, the couple in the eldest branch of the Duke's Mansion are not in harmony, so Feng Jieer can only rely on their second branch, which is also a good thing for their second branch.

"By the way, let's let Zhu'er's wife go with us and let her go to visit Lang'er." Jia's mother added.

We should not be partial to one person over another. Taking care of one granddaughter-in-law is taking care of her, but you cannot neglect the other one.

In Zhen Hua's courtyard.

Inside the room, the floor was in a mess, with broken porcelain tiles everywhere, as if there had been a storm, the whole place was in a shambles.

Zhen Hua sat on a brocade cushion, her snow-white face was pale, her body was heaving, her crystal clear eyes were filled with anger under her long eyelashes, and her whole body exuded a captivating aura.

"Jingzhe, how come Jia Yuanchun is so lucky that she actually gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl."

Zhen Hua looked up at Jingzhe who was trembling beside her and couldn't help complaining. She had a lot of resentment and had no way to vent it. She was so upset that she was about to cry.

When the news came that Yuanchun had given birth to twins, Zhen Hua was so furious that she smashed the furnishings in the house but didn't feel any better.

How could she give birth to a daughter? Jia Yuanchun would be twins, a boy and a girl. She just stole her cousin, a villain, and she actually had this good fortune.

God is unfair.

Jingzhe walked forward cautiously and said tremblingly: "Young lady, don't worry. Even if the prince Jia Yuanchun gave birth to twins, it doesn't matter. In the prince's heart, you are always the one he loves the most."

As a personal maid, Jingzhe knew very well what the girl was thinking. It was jealousy that was at work.

"What do you know? She gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, for my cousin, and her position has become more secure. My cousin must be smiling from ear to ear right now, and his mind is all on her." Zhen Hua shouted angrily, with big tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.

Other people are so affectionate now, but when she gave birth to Miao'er, she was lonely and helpless. Comparing them with each other, it's really infuriating.

Jingzhe was stunned when he heard this, and didn't know what to say for a moment. After all, who wouldn't be happy to have given birth to twins, a boy and a girl.

After crying for a while, Zhen Hua sniffed and wiped her tears with her delicate hands, saying, "But you are right, my cousin has me in his heart, so there is still room for everything to turn around."

At this point, Zhen Hua could only admit defeat, but she would not be discouraged. After all, the cards in her hand were not bad. Apart from other things, Miao'er was her cousin's eldest daughter, and was deeply loved by her cousin and the concubine. This was her trump card.

What's more, I have two younger sisters, Xin'er and Xue'er, in the palace, and I have two plump young women, Youshi and Li Wan, here. I have the advantage, so how can I escape without a fight?

At this moment, Zhen Hua was thankful that she had dragged Li Wan into the water early, giving her an extra bargaining chip. Jingzhe felt relieved when she saw Zhen Hua adjust herself. If the girl continued to be like this, she, as a personal maid, would tremble in her heart and dare not get close to her.

Pursing her pink lips, Jingzhe quickly continued the conversation: "That's right, the young lady is unique in the prince's heart, and he cannot wait to feel sorry for her."

Zhen Hua felt relieved when she heard this. Yes, she was her cousin's most caring cousin and had done so much for him, so how could she escape without a fight?

Having said that, the threat posed by the twins was so great that Zhen Hua had to think more about it.

No, she had to give birth to a son for her cousin as soon as possible. Even if her cousin couldn't have a son because he was worried about himself, there were still Xin'er and Xue'er. At worst, Youshi would be fine. Even Li Wan would be acceptable to her.

In short, Jia Yuanchun’s family must never be allowed to dominate.

In Zhen Hua's heart, Shui Rong's only son at present is the one born to Jia Yuanchun. Scarcity makes things valuable, so naturally there are more treasures. But as long as there are more sons, it will not be so special.

Humph, the eldest son, it’s not uncommon for the eldest son to be deposed.

Thinking of this, Zhen Hua unconsciously expanded the scope to include the maidservant around her cousin, and Qin Keqing was also one of the candidates.

As for Tanchun, Baochai and the like, they are all Jia Yuanchun's die-hard supporters, and there is no use relying on them.

Otherwise, she could find some new things for her cousin to try, which would help her to win his heart and also give her more bargaining chips to fight against Jia Yuanchun.

After all, Jia Yuanchun occupies the position of mistress and is naturally in a high position. The advantage in numbers may not be enough.

Yongwang Mansion, inside the wing room.

Zhang Paner sat on a brocade cushion, gazing at the sleeping child in the cradle. Her beautiful face had a bright and charming smile, and her eyes were full of tenderness.

Ever since the child was born, Zhang Paner has devoted herself to the child, as if she was oblivious to everything else outside and focused on being a good mother.

Seeing the child move slightly, Zhang Paner reached out and patted the swaddling clothes gently, and said softly: "An'er, do you miss your daddy?"

The father Zhang Paner refers to is naturally his father in blood, not in name only.

In fact, during this period of time, except for the period when An'er was just born, Prince Yong would often come to visit to express his attention to An'er, but he ignored him at other times.

Zhang Pan'er didn't care about this. After all, Prince Yong was a cold-hearted person. Besides, he was just a father in name only, so it was normal for him to dislike him. As long as the biological father of the child cared about him, that was enough.

However, despite this, the child's biological father never took the initiative to visit him, as if the child was a fatherless child. This made Zhang Paner feel guilty and she gave the child more love.

At this moment, Prince Yong strode in and said in a somewhat urgent voice, "Pan'er, did you know that a pair of twins, a boy and a girl, were born in Prince Beijing's mansion?"

Zhang Paner stared at An'er's frowning brows, her eyebrows slightly raised, and she cursed inwardly: "Humph, you only use us mother and son as tools, what a heartless and cold thing."

Reaching out to comfort the child, Liu Pan'er suppressed her dissatisfaction and said softly, "Really? I'm not sure about this either."

Twins, a boy and a girl! My uncle is truly extraordinary and powerful.

Prince Yong saw that Zhang Pan'er didn't care at all, and frowned. He was furious and couldn't help shouting, "Do you know how serious this matter is? Shui Rong has a son now, and this evil...will he still be worried about An'er?"

Prince Yong stopped talking halfway and changed his words.

The estrangement from Prince Beijing's Mansion stalled his momentum in the court. He was already feeling impatient, and Zhang Pan'er's indifference made him unable to hold back and yell, and he almost spoke out what was in his heart.

Zhang Paner's snow-white face darkened, and her bright eyes flashed with a dark color under her curved eyelashes.

Don't think that she doesn't know what Prince Yong means. That is Prince Yong's most straightforward thought. In his heart, he is a shameless woman, and An'er is nothing but a bastard.

Humph, he was sincere when he knelt down and begged her to seduce his uncle and shamelessly asked her to have a child. But after it was done, deep down in his heart, he regarded them as worthless.

If they rely on Prince Yong's promise, they might end up with the mother and son gone without even knowing it.

"Ah!"

At this time, the child was frightened and started crying.

Prince Yong knew that he had overreacted, so he stepped forward, lowered his eyes to look at the crying An'er, stretched out his hand to pinch the child's delicate face, and gently comforted him, "An'er, it's Daddy's fault."

Having said that, Prince Yong stared at the child's tender face with a gloomy look in his eyes.

After all, this child was not his own. Every time he saw the child, he would think of the scene he saw from the window that day, that his own daughter-in-law was humiliated in such a way.

Zhang Paner's eyes were always on Prince Yong. Even the fleeting darkness was seen clearly by her, and she understood what Prince Yong was thinking.

This bastard is so heartless and ungrateful. He clearly begged for it, but after the deed was done, he felt that the mother and son were a disgrace to himself.

Pursing her pink lips, Zhang Paner smiled and said, "My Lord, if you are worried, I will take An'er to meet Princess Beijing tomorrow, okay?"

Prince Yong's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said quickly, "Good idea."

As he spoke, Prince Yong looked at Zhang Pan'er with a tender look in his eyes, and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work, Pan'er."

He knew clearly that Zhang Pan'er's visit this time was not just to visit Prince Beijing's Mansion, but her real purpose was to meet Shui Rong in person and help him win over the reclusive Prince Beijing's Mansion.

Zhang Pan'er's beautiful face was smiling brightly, her eyes were gentle, and she said softly, "Your Majesty and I are husband and wife, so there is no need to talk about hardship. This is what I should do."

When Prince Yong heard this, his heart moved. He took the beautiful woman's slender hands, and their eyes met. Everything was said without words.

A faint blush appeared on Zhang Pan'er's snowy face. She withdrew her hand, lowered her head slightly, and said shyly, "Your Highness, please take care of An'er for a while. I will go and get you some cakes."

Having said that, Zhang Paner turned around and walked away in small steps.

Prince Yong stared at the shy figure of the beauty, just like when they were in love, his eyes flashed with a touch of reminiscence, and he couldn't help but sigh, "With a wife like this, what else can a husband ask for!" But
Looking down at the child who had fallen asleep peacefully again, Prince Yong's eyes flickered, and he thought to himself, "Well, after all, we are husband and wife. Pan'er has done his best to help me, so I should leave him a way out."

On the other side, Zhang Paner came out of the room, and her originally shy face turned gloomy. She took a handkerchief and wiped the place where Prince Yong had just held her hand, and her stomach felt churning.

Who are you showing off your affectionate look to? It's disgusting.

She didn't know that the ignorant little girl knew that even if Prince Yong was sincere about the relationship between husband and wife at this time, Zhang Pan'er knew that Prince Yong was a ruthless person and he disliked her and her son from the bottom of his heart.

Once they and their son are no longer useful, their fate can be imagined.

But there is no need to worry now. As long as Prince Yong does not seize the throne, the value of them and their son is there. Even if Prince Yong is dissatisfied, he has to support them and their son.

This is also the reason why Zhang Pan'er dared to let An'er and Prince Yong be alone.

If you think about it, the confidence actually comes from Shui Rong, An'er's biological father.

"call"

Zhang Paner let out a light breath and suppressed the nausea in her stomach. Her snow-white face was calm, and her beautiful eyes showed a bit of determination under her long eyelashes. She twisted her waist and walked towards the kitchen.

A mother is strong, she will not put the safety of her and her child in the hands of such a cold-hearted person. (End of this chapter)
