Red Mansion Beijingwang

Beijing Palace.

Shui Rong returned from the Governor's Mansion as usual and walked along the corridor. When he saw a familiar and pretty figure standing in a pavilion not far away, Shui Rong paused.

That must be Yun girl. It’s not a cool season now, so how come she’s outside alone and not afraid of the cold?

Thinking of this, Shui Rong turned around and walked towards Xiangyun. When he got closer, he saw that Xiangyun was wearing a short jacket with three-bordered collar, autumn-colored gold and five-color dragon embroidery, narrow back, small sleeves and silver mouse collar, and a large Shao rat wind collar, which made her look like a bee with a monkey back and the posture of a crane and a mantis.

The girl bent her waist slightly, and gazed at the koi swimming in the stream. Her silver bell-like laughter rang out from time to time, lively and cheerful, and quite contagious.

The maid Cuilu saw the prince and was about to remind Xiangyun, but at the prince's signal, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she immediately took a step back and kept silent.

"Cuilu, do you have any more bait?"

After she finished speaking, Xiangyun saw that Cuilu hadn't responded for a long time. Just as she was about to ask, she heard a teasing voice in her ear, saying, "Yun girl, you are playing around again."

"ah"

Xiangyun was startled and lost her balance, falling to one side. When she was terrified, her wrist was grabbed and she fell into someone's arms.

That familiar voice and this familiar breath, isn't this my brother-in-law!
The girl looked up and saw her brother-in-law's gentle face. His fair face was full of smiles. She said in surprise, "Brother-in-law, why are you here?"

Shui Rong straightened the girl up and scolded her angrily: "I saw you here, so I came to check it out, but you, girl, are not careful enough. If you fall into the stream, you will be in trouble."

Girls rarely go out of the house, so generally speaking, they cannot swim. If they fall into the water, their lives may be in danger.

Even if someone is watching over you and your life is safe, it is still very cold and you might catch a cold if you are not careful.

Xiangyun heard her brother-in-law's scolding, and pursed her lips slightly. She patted her heaving body with her soft hands and snorted, "Brother-in-law also said that if you hadn't suddenly startled me by making a noise, I wouldn't have fallen over."

This sudden remark scared people.

After saying this, Xiangyun remembered that she had just bumped into the boy's arms. Her snow-white face flushed slightly and a hint of shyness surged in her heart.

I feel quite comfortable in my brother-in-law's arms.

Shui Rong smiled, but didn't care about it. He stared at the girl's slightly chubby face and asked, "Yun girl, why are you here alone?"

With Xiangyun's lively personality, she would go wherever there is excitement and would even live next to others. Why is she alone now?

Xiangyun was stunned when she heard that. She looked up at the young man, then lowered her head slightly, weighed the deerskin boots on her feet, and said nothing.

Earlier in Ning'an Hall, Concubine Beijing said jokingly that she would choose an ideal husband for her, which surprised the girl.

Although it was a joke, she also knew that she would have to get married sooner or later. Once married, she would be an outsider and could no longer stay in the palace.

Xiangyun, feeling melancholy, was relaxing alone in the mansion. Seeing the koi in the stream, she became interested and asked Cuilu to find some bait to tease the koi hiding in the stream.

Faced with her brother-in-law's questions, even Xiangyun, who was always outspoken, couldn't say such embarrassing words and could only be coy.

Shui Rong saw this and knew that the girl didn't want to talk much, so he didn't ask any more questions. Looking at the two blushes on the girl's face, he reached out to untie the cloak on his body, came forward to put it on the girl, and said softly: "Look, you are so cold that your face is red. Go back with your brother-in-law first!"

Xiangyun looked at the young man in front of her with a lace-up, her beautiful eyes sparkling, her heart surged with an indescribable throbbing, she smiled and nodded, and said softly: "Yeah."

The two walked along the corridor. Shui Rong thought for a moment and said, "Girl Yun, if you have any concerns, you might as well talk to your brother."

Xiangyun, who was usually straightforward, also became shy. It was obvious that this was not a simple matter. As Shuirong's brother, it was necessary for him to ask about her with concern.

Xiangyun was startled when she heard this. She stared at the young man's gentle face with her eyes tilted. Her heart was throbbing. She hesitated for a while, her fair face slightly blushed, and she whispered, "Brother-in-law, my godmother said she was going to... pick a suitable husband for me. What do you think, brother-in-law?"

Shui Rong raised his eyebrows, lowered his eyes to look at the nervous girl, and suddenly realized something.

No wonder the lively Xiangyun would be shy, it turns out that this is a matter of great importance to a girl's life!

Shui Rong could roughly understand Concubine Beijing's thoughts. Uncle Shi did not think highly of Xiangyun, so as her godmother, Concubine Beijing naturally worried about Xiangyun's affairs.

With a light laugh, Shui Rong asked back, "What does Yun girl think? Are you also thinking about Ruyi Langjun?"

"Oh, brother-in-law, I'm asking you, but you're asking me back. How annoying." Xiangyun's pretty face flushed, she stomped her deerskin boots and started to complain.

She was talking seriously to her brother-in-law, but he started to tease her. She had never thought about the ideal husband.

"hehe."

Shui Rong smiled, reached out and rubbed the girl's head, and said, "Okay, it's not a big deal. You are still young, don't think about it. We can slowly choose in the future. If we don't like it, we won't want it."

To be honest, Xiangyun is still young and there is no need to rush. We can wait until she grows up.

Xiangyun was delighted when she heard that. Her big, clear eyes twinkled like stars and the corners of her tender lips couldn't help but curl up.

Although her last name was Shi, she only felt the warmth of home in the palace. Both the Dowager Concubine Beijing and her brother doted on her so much, so she felt melancholy about what the Dowager Concubine Beijing said.

If she had a choice, she really wanted to stay in the palace forever.

"That's what my brother-in-law said. I'll keep it in mind." Xiangyun said with a smile. Her previous melancholy was swept away, and her fair cheeks were filled with joy.

Shui Rong nodded, lowered his eyes and looked at the lively young girl in front of him. His eyes flickered slightly, and he suddenly asked: "But then again, girls will get married sooner or later. I wonder if our Yun girl has any standards?"

Xiangyun's heart paused, a blush appeared on her fair face, and her beautiful eyes under her willow-leaf eyebrows glared at the young man.

My brother-in-law is such a fool. How could he ask her such a question in person?

Pursing her pink lips, Xiangyun slightly raised her delicate head, her clear eyes twinkled under her emerald eyebrows, and said playfully: "If there is any standard, it should at least be like my brother-in-law."

Shui Rong couldn't help laughing when he heard this. At least he should be like this. Fortunately Xiangyun dared to say it.

It has to be said that Xiangyun's innocent and carefree attitude makes her so popular. After all, who would not like such a youthful and lively girl?

A smile appeared on his handsome face, and Shui Rong joked: "There are only a few people like me in the whole capital, so it will be hard to find one."

Shui Rong is not bragging. As a girl killer created by Cao Gong, his appearance alone is unmatched, not to mention his status and position.

Xiangyun naturally heard the young man's self-praise, and she laughed, her body shaking, charming and beautiful, and spat, "Brother-in-law is so shameless."

As she spoke, Xiangyun tilted her head and looked at the young man. Seeing his handsome face, her bright eyes flashed under his willow-leaf eyebrows, and her heart was slightly moved.

As a girl in the boudoir, although Xiangyun only met first-class relatives, whether it was Jia Lian, Jia Rong or Baoyu, they were all handsome, but they were still slightly inferior to her brother-in-law. If she continued to look for someone like her brother-in-law, it would be really difficult to find one and she would never be able to get married.

Sometimes Xiangyun wondered why her brother-in-law was so handsome, as if he had walked out of a painting. There were indeed very few people like him in the whole capital.

Not to mention that my brother-in-law is humorous, kind and generous. My eldest sister, third sister and Bao sister are so lucky. If only their future husbands could have a brother-in-law.
"Miss Yun, what are you thinking about?" Shui Rong saw Xiangyun looking absent-minded and asked.

"Nothing, nothing." Xiangyun's face turned slightly red, a hint of panic appeared on her fair face, and she secretly felt angry in her heart.

Shui Rong didn't care. He lowered his eyes and looked at the beautifully dressed girl, who was half-exposed and shy. Her petite body already had sharp corners, like a peony flower blooming in the wind, with a graceful face.

I didn't notice it before, but Xiangyun has grown up a lot. No wonder Concubine Beijing suddenly mentioned Xiangyun's important event. The two of them were walking in the corridor, and a familiar and charming figure came towards them. It was Baoqin.

Baoqin was wearing a pink stand-up collar and side-lapel jacket, a bright red cape, red lips, fair skin, dark eyebrows and almond eyes, just like a gorgeous red plum. When she saw Shuirong, she was delighted and walked towards him with a cheerful step. She called out sweetly, "Brother-in-law, you're back."

Shui Rong lowered his eyes to look at the brilliant Bao Qin, smiled and nodded, and said: "Well, I'm back. Why are you here?"

Baoqin smiled brightly on her plump face. She looked at Xiangyun on the side, her eyes fell on the cloak draped over the girl. Her beautiful eyes flashed and she said angrily, "Sister Yun, why did you leave without saying a word? I've been looking for you for a while."

Baoqin had noticed that Xiangyun was not there, so she came to look for her.

Xiangyun felt a little embarrassed when she heard this. She pursed her pink lips, came forward and took Baoqin's arm, and said with a smile: "I came out for some fresh air. I forgot to say hello."

Shui Rong knew that the two girls had a good relationship, so he didn't take it seriously and said, "Okay, it's cold outside, you two go back to the house to make trouble, I have to go back and rest too."

When Baoqin saw the young man was about to leave, her beautiful eyes twinkled under her willow-shaped eyebrows, and she suddenly said, "Brother-in-law, wait a moment. I have something to ask you."

As she spoke, Baoqin said to Xiangyun, "Sister Yun, you should go back first."

Xiangyun's face paused when she heard this, and she looked at Baoqin intently with a hint of suspicion between her brows. She didn't know why she wanted to look for her brother-in-law and why she wanted to get rid of her.

It can't be the same as her!

Thinking of this, Xiangyun suddenly realized that the age difference between them was not much, and since she was mentioned, Baoqin must not be much better and must have the same idea as her.

He let go of Baoqin's hand, looked up at the young man, and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, I'm going back first."

After Xiangyun left, Shui Rong lowered his eyes to look at the pretty Baoqin, and asked pointedly: "Sister Baoqin, what do you want to see your brother-in-law about?"

This girl is quite clever, and he doesn't believe that sending Xiangyun away is a serious matter.

Baoqin's fair face turned slightly red, and she pouted her pink lips and said, "Brother-in-law, what are you talking about? Can it be that if I'm fine, I can't look for you?"

Speaking of this, Baoqin still feels aggrieved. Last time, he said he would support herself and held her hand, but he disappeared the moment she turned around. If she hadn't met him by chance today, she doesn't know when she would be able to talk to him again.

Shui Rong suddenly realized something, chuckled, and said, "Let's go back first and talk about it later."

As he spoke, Shui Rong took Bao Qin's soft little hand and squeezed it gently. She felt it was soft and smooth, and her fingertips were full of youth, which made her heart move.

Baoqin hummed softly, a blush appeared on her plump face, she lowered her head slightly, her clear eyes flashed under her long eyelashes, and a touch of joy surged in her heart.

Her brother-in-law pulled her hand again.

Shui Rong held Baoqin's little hand and walked along the corridor. They did not go to their own yard, but found an empty house nearby and walked straight in.

Baoqin looked at the slightly empty room, her heart moved, and she wondered why her brother-in-law brought her here. Could it be possible?

The girl's slightly chubby face blushed, her eyelashes trembled, she looked up at the gentle boy and whispered, "Brother-in-law, why are we here?"

She was not a girl who stuck to the rules. She had read a lot of miscellaneous books. A man and a woman came to this quiet little room alone. These were the anecdotes in the books.

Shui Rong looked at the lively young girl with a twinkle in his eyes. He picked up the girl's delicate body and held her in his arms. A sweet and refreshing fragrance came to her nose. He smiled and asked, "Sister Baoqin, do you miss your brother-in-law?"

Since everything had basically been said last time, and Baoqin came up with it on her own, there was no need for Shui Rong to be vague. He might as well give a clear attitude to prevent the girl from overthinking.

Baoqin sat in the boy's arms. The strangeness of her waist made people's hearts skip a beat. Her pretty face turned red. Hearing what the boy said, she pursed her fair pink lips and whispered "hmm".

If she didn't miss her brother-in-law, why would she send Xiangyun away?

Although her brother-in-law's behavior was a little abrupt, Baoqin didn't care, and was even quite happy. After all, why didn't her brother-in-law do this to others? It was because he liked her.

Shui Rong raised the corner of his mouth slightly when he heard that. He stretched out his hand and pinched the girl's chin and lifted it up slightly. He stared at the girl's cheeks that were as rosy as rouge. She looked like a delicate red plum, bright and beautiful. He couldn't help but admire her in his heart.

She has a beautiful appearance at such a young age. If she waits for another one or two years, she will surely be the most beautiful girl among all the other girls.

Although there is little description of Baoqin in the original novel, she left a thick impression, and even subtly overshadowed Daiyu and Baochai, the two characters in the Red Mansion. It is truly extraordinary.

Baoqin's heart was pounding and she was extremely shy; she hadn't expected her brother-in-law to suddenly take action.

Well, it's a bit abrupt.

As the saying goes, women dress up to please themselves. Baoqin looked at the twinkling eyes of the young man, and she couldn't help feeling happy and proud. Before she could say anything, she saw the young man approaching. His gentle breath fanned her face, startling Baoqin. There was a hint of panic between her eyebrows, which she closed subconsciously. She put her white hands on the young man's shoulders, and her white fingertips clenched his robe.

The boy's willful and domineering behavior made Baoqin feel an indescribable throbbing in her heart. Gradually, Baoqin's hands that were tightly grasping her robe loosened, her jade-like eyebrows relaxed, and she let the boy grab her
After a while, Baoqin's delicate body had become soft, her plump face was as gorgeous as clouds, her bright red lips were sparkling, and her lips were slightly red.

Such wanton snatching almost made people breathless. The inexperienced Baoqin was shocked and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Shui Rong lowered his eyes and looked at the girl's rosy cheeks. His beautiful eyes were flowing and very moving. He said softly: "Sister is really fresh and lovely. Brother-in-law likes her very much."

The girl's skin is so delicate and tender, it is really pleasing to the eye and makes one want to taste it.

Baoqin felt ashamed, and gently pressed her brother-in-law's hand that was reaching for his clothes, and said in a trembling voice, "Brother-in-law."

What's going on? Kissing is not enough, why are you also touching me? Could it be that my brother-in-law wants to take it all in one go today?
It is true that the girl is not opposed to her brother-in-law, but she is a girl in the boudoir, how can she be so unclear? At the very least, she should change to a more serious occasion.

What she did was nothing, and she was even more sorry for her sister.

Shui Rong lifted the girl's soft little hand and said softly, "Brother-in-law is just checking, sister, don't worry."

Baoqin was startled when she heard this. What inspection? What does this mean?
Before Baoqin could ask, the young man had already taken advantage of the opportunity. After she couldn't help but let out a sweet moan, her snow-white face turned red as fire and she was filled with shame.

The inspection my brother-in-law mentioned actually refers to measurement!
Shui Rong felt the youth flowing through his fingertips, and his heart couldn't help but be moved. Although the branches and leaves had not yet grown, their resilience was truly admirable.

Pursing her lips, Shui Rong lowered her head and moved closer.

Baoqin snorted, her heart was startled, she lowered her eyes and looked at the boy, her beautiful eyes slightly widened, she didn't expect the boy to be so naughty and childish.

The rumors are true, my brother-in-law really loves this dish.

Baoqin bit her pink lips lightly with her pearly teeth and closed her eyes without saying a word. But after a while, she suddenly felt startled, and the hair under her skirt slightly clenched together. She stared at the young man and said in a trembling voice, "Brother-in-law, stop making trouble."

I originally thought I could just endure it, but I didn't expect I couldn't resist it. If this gets out, I won't be able to save my face.

Shui Rong's heart moved, he looked up at the shy face of the girl, and said softly: "Sister Baoqin, let me serve you."

Baoqin: "???"

My brother-in-law wants to serve her? What does that mean?

Baoqin, who hadn't understood what was going on, felt a shock in her heart, and then she was lifted up by the boy and placed on the table. She felt a slight chill under her body, and when she felt embarrassed, she saw the boy approaching her. For a moment, Baoqin felt as if she had received an electric shock, and she stood there in a daze, her bright almond eyes widened, and she was filled with shame, and she trembled and said, "Brother-in-law, don't..."

This is what my brother-in-law means by serving! (End of this chapter)
