Red Mansion Beijingwang

Baochan was delighted and said hurriedly, "Grandma, think about it. No matter how precious the prince is, he is still a man. What rat in this world doesn't steal oil? When the prince comes to drink, grandma will instigate him to get drunk. Then the prince will be at your mercy and won't be able to run away."

Xia Jingui understood what she said. Just as Baochan said, every man is greedy. Although the prince is humble, there are many women in his mansion.

However, Xia Jingui did not feel anything about this. Xue Pan's greed was just a mean and stubborn act, but the prince's greed was for romance. Different people have different views.

Just hearing Baochan's idea, Xia Jingui raised her eyebrows and spat unhappily, "I thought you had a good idea. If you want to get the prince drunk, you have to give him the face."

Xia Jingui had also thought about this method, but judging from the prince's previous rude punishment of her, it was clear from his attitude that he would never give her the face to force her to drink.

Baochan smiled and said, "Don't worry, grandma. Our Xue family is inviting guests, so how can Madam not come? If the prince doesn't give us face, will he not give Madam face?"

Xia Jingui was startled when she heard this. For such things, the fewer people there are, the better. That's why she didn't think of inviting Aunt Xue to join them. If Xue Pan wasn't still needed, he wouldn't have planned to stay. Wouldn't it be better for the two of them to be alone?

However, Xia Jingui also knew that it was impossible for the two of them to be alone together. What's more, what Baochan said was right. The prince would probably give Aunt Xue face, so it would be much cheaper to force her to drink.

Baochan continued, "With the Madam here, I will persuade the prince to drink at the right time, so that he can get drunk. When he is too drunk to walk, he will naturally rest in our house. I will take care of the Madam and the others, and you can find an excuse to leave, put on one or two attractive clothes and go to the prince. With your beauty, I don't believe the prince will remain indifferent."

Xia Jingui's heart beat fast when she heard this. If she followed Baochan's advice, there would be great potential.

After a long silence, Xia Jingui said worriedly, "Let's not talk about whether the prince will get drunk, even the madam won't get the prince drunk."

Although the plan is good, the premise of everything is to get the prince drunk. Given Aunt Xue's attitude towards the prince, she would never let the prince get drunk. Once the situation is not right, Aunt Xue will dissuade him herself.

Baochan's beautiful eyes flashed with a gleam of brilliance, and she whispered, "Grandma, let's just mix something into the wine, but we're afraid the prince won't fall for it."

Xia Jingui's heart paused, her beautiful eyes slightly widened, and she whispered, "You slut, you're crazy. If you put something in the wine, how can I explain to the prince afterwards? Even the Xue family can't protect me then."

How could Xia Jingui not know what was mixed in the wine? Although it could help her take down the prince, she would certainly not be able to escape the responsibility afterwards. Once the prince made up his mind, she would be in trouble.

Being drunk and being intoxicated are two different concepts.

Baochan didn't take it seriously and said, "Grandma, I'm not using any strong medicine or mixing anything in it to make the prince crazy. I've heard a little about the prince's character and have tasted your kindness. Even if he knows we did something, I think he won't mind it. Even if he does, the princess gave birth to twins not long ago, and with Miss Bao, the prince won't make a fuss about it. At most, he'll just scold him. With this relationship, grandma, you're not afraid of not being able to seduce the greedy prince."

Xia Jingui was slightly startled when she heard Baochan's series of words, but then she began to calculate the gains and losses, and for a moment she even felt that it was quite reasonable.

She was confident in her looks, so she thought it would not be a problem to seduce her. The prince's character was also guaranteed in the mansion. He was always kind and gentle to women, and would not be so ruthless.

Besides, it would be embarrassing if such a thing got out. In order to save face, nine out of ten times it would not be publicized.

Xia Jingui was still quite confident in her own charm. The prince had tasted the sweetness at that time, so why was she afraid that he would not want more?
Thinking of the prince being so "awesome" and surrendering to her skirt, Xia Jingui's face became a little unnatural. Her hair under her skirt slightly clenched together, her cheeks gradually turned red, and she scolded with a smile: "Little bitch, you seem to have slept with many men, yet you are still so considerate."

Each and every one of them made Xia Jingui feel quite excited.

Baochan's pretty face flushed, she curled her lips and said with a smile: "Oh, I'm pulling the oars for you, grandma, but you're making fun of me."

What kind of stealing? She is still a virgin. As for why she knows so much, it is nothing more than talent.

Xia Jingui stared at Baochan and started to think. She knew a little about what this girl was thinking and was probably thinking of taking advantage of her. If that was the case, why not I share some of the benefits with her and she would naturally do her best.

Thinking of this, Xia Jingui took Baochan's hand and said, "Let's do as you say. If I succeed, I will have something to eat in the future, but you won't be hungry. Then we can play with the prince together, master and servant. Wouldn't it be great?"

Baochan's cheeks flushed when she heard this, but she did not refute Xia Jingui's words. Her bright eyes under her willow-leaf eyebrows flickered slightly, and her heart was beating fast.

A few things that happened between Baochan and Xue Ke in the original novel are enough to show that she is not a girl who keeps her place in the world. As the saying goes, like master, like servant, and both the master and the servant are not good people.

Pursing her lips, Baochan reminded her, "Grandma, we need to keep our affairs secret. If it gets out, it won't be a joke."

Xia Jingui nodded slightly when she heard this, and she obviously understood the importance of the matter. If something happened, even if the prince didn't want to make a fuss, he would suffer the consequences.

Thinking of this, Xia Jingui pulled Baochan aside, and the two of them discussed the details sleeplessly all night, vowing to completely capture the prince on that day.

Time passed, and with the careful arrangements made by Xia Jingui and Baochan, the master and servant, the day of the banquet arrived.

Inside the spacious flower hall, a rosewood table was covered with a deep blue shawl, on which were placed all kinds of delicacies, which were a feast to the eyes.

Xia Jingui stood in front of the hall and looked up. She was wearing a bright red flowered jacket, a beaded belt, and an emerald flowered crepe skirt. She looked bright and radiant, obviously dressed up carefully.

Xia Jingui stared at Baochan, her narrow eyes slightly narrowed, she lifted her high bun with her bare hands, opened her pink lips slightly, and whispered, "Are all the things ready? Don't make any mistakes."

Baochan weighed the mandarin duck wine pot in her hand and said with a smile, "Don't worry, grandma. I have prepared everything. I will make sure that you get what you wish for today."

Xia Jingui looked at the jade-colored mandarin duck pot and her beautiful eyes sparkled. That was all they had discussed. The wine with something mixed in it was on the other side, and they needed to make sure that Prince Du drank it. This needed to be done by Baochan, who was pouring the wine.

There is nothing that Xia Jingui wants that she cannot get.

At this moment, the maid from the outer room came in and said, "Grandma, the prince, his wife, and the master are here."

Xia Jingui's beautiful eyes lit up when she heard this, her gorgeous face full of spring, she said with a smile: "Baochan, the prince is here, remember to be careful, let's go and greet him first."

Baochan blinked, responded quickly, and followed her grandmother to greet the guests.

"Oh, the prince is here." Seeing the standing figure, Xia Jingui's heart was filled with joy. A smile spread across her beautiful cheeks, and her beautiful eyes flashed with a hint of brilliance.

Such an elegant young man is now the man under her skirt. The excitement in her heart is self-evident.

Shui Rong, Aunt Xue and Xue Pan walked into the yard, chatting and laughing. When he saw Xia Jingui welcoming them warmly, his eyes slightly frowned, but he didn't say anything.

It was not surprising that Xia Jingui, the eldest grandmother, accompanied the Xue family to the banquet. There was no need to be rude in front of Aunt Xue.

Aunt Xue looked at Xia Jingui with a smile and asked, "Jingui, are you ready?"

Xia Jingui nodded her head and said, "In reply to mother, everything is ready. We are just waiting for the prince to come."

Aunt Xue felt happy when she heard this, and looked at Xia Jingui with more satisfaction.

Ever since she was punished by the prince that day, Xia Jingui has become well-behaved and has suddenly become more friendly to others, which makes Aunt Xue very happy. She thinks that Xue Pan must have done something wrong when he married this wife, which ruined his life. Now that his wife has suddenly become quiet, maybe Pan's luck has changed. Who knows, her heart is full of hope.

"Your Highness, let's go in." Aunt Xue invited Shui Rong.

Shui Rong nodded without saying anything more. The group entered the flower hall and sat around the table.

Aunt Xue looked at Xue Pan with his head lowered and felt anxious. She kicked him and made some hints with her eyes.

She was the one who invited him, but now he was lying there. Xue Pan understood and quickly picked up the wine cup and said, "Your Majesty, I offer you a glass of wine."

Shui Rong noticed the difference between the mother and son, and he understood it in his heart. After all, it was nothing more than a deep love for his son, so he didn't hesitate, picked up the wine cup and started to eat, and then said: "Pan'er, you don't have to be polite. After all, we are a family now, and being polite would seem awkward."

It's just polite words, it's fine to say them, but after all, if you really want to make a fuss about it, it's true. Who made him covet Baochai? After saying enough polite words, how could Baochai not serve him wholeheartedly?
Xue Pan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said with a smile, "Your Highness is right. I'll have another drink to show my appreciation."

It is true that Xue Pan was frightened by the prince's scoldings in the past, but it must be said that the prince was indeed very caring towards their Xue family.

At this time, Baochan, who was standing on the side, came forward and offered Shuirong wine, and no one found it strange.

Aunt Xue looked at this scene with a smile on her face, and greeted him politely, "Your Majesty, don't just drink. These dishes are specially prepared for you. There are also pickled goose feet. Please try them first."

Shui Rong didn't hesitate to pick up the food with chopsticks and tasted it. Then he looked at Xue Pan and said, "Pan brother, has the Xue family's business been going well recently?"

Xue Pan relaxed a little and said proudly: "Everything is going well, and the Xue family's business has stabilized."

In the past, the Xue family was an orphan and a widow, and there would be people who had evil intentions from time to time. Since the Beijing Prince's Mansion was established, those people below dared not to act presumptuously. Xue Pan had nothing to do except checking, but the Xue family's profits were on the rise, so how could things not be going well.

Xia Jingui's beautiful eyes flashed, and she seized the opportunity, holding the wine cup in her bare hands, her beautiful face filled with joy, and said with a smile: "This is all thanks to the help of the prince. I would like to toast the prince on behalf of the master."

Shui Rong looked at Xia Jingui intently, but didn't say anything. He raised the wine cup and drank a glass.

Xia Jingui was delighted to see Shui Rong appreciated her favor. Her pink lips, hidden by her sleeves, pressed against the edge of the wine glass and curled up. Her beautiful eyes, beneath her willow-leaf brows, were as bright as water and radiant with light.

She is sure to win over the prince today.

Aunt Xue was delighted to see that Xia Jingui was understanding. Although her son was not very ambitious, with the relationship with Prince Beijing's Mansion and this shrewd daughter-in-law, the Xue family would become more prosperous. In the future, when the Xue family had heirs to inherit the family business, she would be worthy of the ancestors of the Xue family.

Next, the banquet became lively. Aunt Xue greeted Shui Rong warmly, and they toasted each other in a harmonious atmosphere.

After Xia Jingui drank some wine, her snow-white cheeks suddenly turned red, and her rosy lips smelled slightly of alcohol. Her bright eyes stared at Shui Rong, and seeing that his face was already a little flushed, she felt that the time had come and winked at Bao Chan on the side.

Baochan understood, and her slender fingertips secretly twisted the tip of the mandarin duck teapot, took a step forward, and offered the wine, "Your Highness, let me pour you some wine."

Shui Rong stretched out his hand to refuse, saying: "No, I am a little drunk at the moment, so I won't drink any more."

Shui-Shui's alcohol tolerance was average and he seldom drank alcohol often, especially after Yuanchun became pregnant. He drank even less. Occasionally, he would attend banquets and only sip a little. Today, he drank two more glasses and his face became flushed. He felt a little dizzy now.

When Aunt Xue heard this, she immediately showed a concerned look and said, "Since the prince is a little drunk, he should not drink any more wine and eat some food to calm down."

Xia Jingui's heart paused when she saw this, and a hint of anxiety flashed across her beautiful eyes.

Although it is a good thing that the prince cannot drink much, it is not enough at this moment. If you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to find it again in the future.

Something unexpected happened at the critical moment. If I had known what would happen, I would have let Baochan take action earlier.

Baochan was also anxious. This matter did not concern her grandmother, but she had been weighed down by it all her life. Her beautiful eyes flashed, and she said boldly, "Your Highness is such a man of character. A little bit of wine is nothing. Besides, even if Your Highness is drunk, the worst that can happen is that he can just rest in the mansion."

Aunt Xue frowned, feeling somewhat dissatisfied. She was just a maid, so how could she have the right to interrupt, not to mention that she had already said something, so this would be a slap in her face.

Just when Aunt Xue was about to scold him, Xue Pan said carelessly, "That's right. I'm so happy today, so I'll drink as much as I can. Your Majesty, I'll toast you another glass."

Aunt Xue looked at Xue Pan who had finished drinking the whole thing, frowned, and scolded him, "If you drink too much yellow soup, you will die in the grave. You have no right to speak."

Baochan was Xia Jingui's maid, and Aunt Xue did not scold her directly for fear of disrupting the eased family relationship. However, facing her own troublesome son, she was not so polite.

You evil creature, you even dare to force the prince to drink.

Xue Pan paused, and was about to refute on the spot, but when he remembered that the prince was still there, he could only stop and said angrily: "Isn't this happiness?"

The host has already been set up, so it's just about drinking and having fun, he hasn't done anything wrong.

Shui Rong didn't care. If he cared about it when others urged him to drink, he would be too narrow-minded.

Besides, although Xue Pan is a reckless person, he is simple-minded and has a strong sense of brotherhood, which is one of his few bright spots.

After a long silence, Shui Rong smiled and said, "Aunt, since Pan Ge'er has offered me a toast, it would be unreasonable for me not to drink it. I will drink this glass of wine, and there is no need for the rest."

Since he has been toasted, it won't hurt to have one cup. It can be considered as giving face to the Xue family and Baochai. The respect he has given to the Xue family should be returned by Baochai one by one.

Oh, and Baoqin, two cousins, can't they afford a glass of wine? The more respectful he is to the Xue family, the less obstacles Baoqin will face in the future, right?

But that’s all. If they force him to drink more, it would mean that the Xue family is being immature.

Aunt Xue was naturally delighted to see the prince showing such favor. She glanced at Baochan with a smile and urged, "Why don't you pour wine for the prince?"

"Hey." Baochan responded with a smile and hurriedly served wine to Shui Rong.

Xia Jingui stared at Shui Rong as he drank the glass of wine, her beautiful eyes sparkling and her heart filled with excitement.

At this moment, she was very annoyed with Xue Pan's "nagging". If he hadn't interfered, she wouldn't know what to do. Shui Rong also didn't expect that this banquet was a "red" banquet.

After drinking that glass of wine, Aunt Xue warmly invited them to eat some food. Her concerned look was more intimate than that of an ancestor, which made Xue Pan, who was standing by, feel a little disgusted.

Xia Jingui's beautiful eyes flickered, she picked up a piece of bamboo shoot with chopsticks in her bare hands, and said, "Your Majesty, this bamboo shoot is very fresh, please try it."

Shui Rong raised his eyes and glanced at Xia Jingui. He saw her charming face, fair skin, and a faint refreshing fragrance lingering in his nose. He didn't know why, but he suddenly remembered the final push that day, and his heart moved slightly.

Although Xia Jingui was a hot-tempered person with a bad character, she did have a good appearance and was ranked among the best among the golden hairpins. Otherwise, Aunt Xue would not have said that she was a flower, and Xue Pan would not have been so infatuated with her.

Pursing his lips, Shui Rong said, "No need."

As he spoke, Shui Rong said to Aunt Xue, "Aunt, I have finished my meal, so let's end the feast here."

Aunt Xue smiled and replied, "Okay, I'll listen to your Majesty."

Today, the prince has already given the Xue family enough face. What else could Aunt Xue lack? If she is forced to stay, it would be a slap in the prince's face.

Shui Rong nodded gently and stood up, but for some reason, he suddenly felt dizzy and stumbled, unable to stand steadily. (End of this chapter)
