Red Mansion Beijingwang

The wind and rain dissipated, and the spacious and warm room became quiet for a moment.

Shui Rong sat behind the desk, staring at Daiyu who had adjusted her skirt. Her cheeks were rosy and her bright eyes were filled with shyness and resentment under her furrowed brows, as if silently expressing her anger towards the young man.

Reaching out and holding the girl's soft little hand, Shui Rong coaxed softly: "Good Pin'er, Zijuan is one of us, it's okay if she saw it, it's no big deal, don't be upset, besides, Xiren is here too."

Originally, the girl's resentment should have disappeared, but who would have thought that with the arrival of the uninvited guest, the thin-skinned Daiyu felt ashamed and pushed all the responsibility onto Shui Rong, and her resentment became even stronger.

Xiren on the side had rosy cheeks and shy eyes. She used an embroidered handkerchief in her slender hands to wipe her crystal-clear lips. She lowered her eyebrows and eyes, and said nothing.

At this unlucky moment, she dared not say too much, so as not to harm innocent people.

Daiyu was ashamed and angry, and said angrily: "Pah, you still have the nerve to say that, it's all your fault, you have to humiliate me."

At that time, Xiren was in an even more embarrassing situation under the desk. Zijuan, on the other hand, stayed out of the matter and saw her own embarrassing scene from an outsider's perspective, which happened on the desk. She felt extremely ashamed just thinking about it and couldn't face anyone.

If our own people turn a blind eye to it, then are elder sister and Bao sister the same?
Shui Rong knew that the girl was just shallow-minded and was just angry and embarrassed for a moment. It would be fine after a while, so he didn't care and said with a smile: "Pin'er, what you said is wrong. Who is humiliating whom? I don't blame you for scolding me."

"You still say." Daiyu's cheeks turned red like fire, and under her two curved eyebrows, her clear and bright eyes were filled with a layer of mist. She was so embarrassed and angry that she was about to cry.

She was already so embarrassed that she could hardly control herself, and her brother still made fun of her like a stabber in the heart. It was so annoying.

Seeing that the girl was not amused, Shui Rong said no more, led the girl into his arms, reached out and wiped the corners of Daiyu's eyes, and said gently: "Okay, it's brother's fault, sister, don't be angry."

Alas, when facing the crybaby Lin Daiyu, you can only coax her.

At this moment, Zijuan, blushing, came forward holding a cup of fragrant tea and said, "Miss, it was my negligence for a moment. It has nothing to do with the prince. If you want to blame someone, blame me."

He broke in without paying attention, causing the girl to blame the prince. Don't let this make the girl "hold a grudge" in her heart, as this would create a rift between the two of them.

"you"

Daiyu's cheeks were flushed red, and her two curved eyebrows raised slightly. She was choked by Zijuan's sudden words and was speechless for a while.

Why are you still bringing this up at this time?

Shui Rong chuckled, took the teacup and passed it to Daiyu's lips, saying softly, "Pin'er, have a sip of tea to moisten your throat."

Actually, Shui Rong wanted to ask Daiyu to make up for it, but he knew that once he said this, Daiyu would be so ashamed and angry that she would explode again, so he did not mention it again.

When Daiyu saw the young man serving her tea, she blinked her bright eyes and lowered her head to drink the tea. That touch of clear tea, like honey water, moistened her heart.

Although her brother was a little absurd, he was a considerate person. She was thirsty at the moment, so he handed the food to her considerately.

Thinking of this, Daiyu seemed to remember something, her fair face flushed, her eyes were full of water under her two curved eyebrows, her heart was ashamed, she turned her head slightly and said, "Okay."

She was thirsty now, and it was all because of the young man.

Shui Rong was unaware of him. Seeing that there was still some tea left in the teacup, he took the attitude of not wasting it and drank up the bright red tea at the rim of the cup in one gulp.

Daiyu's eyes were full of shyness as she said, "If you want some tea, ask Zijuan to pour it for you."

My brother is the same. Why should he drink the tea he has left over? My brother doesn't mind it, so how could he mind the tea he has drunk?

Shui Rong put down the teacup and said with a smile: "Sister Zhong Yu is smart and beautiful, like a fairy. The tea you drink seems to have spirituality, pure and mellow. No other tea can compare to it."

Daiyu's fair and rosy face blushed, and she glared at the young man with her beautiful eyes sparkling with stars, and spat, "I know what you mean, so stop trying to coax me with those words."

What kind of fairy-like person is this? She thinks she doesn't know about these coaxing words?
Shui Rong looked at the curve on the girl's lips and smiled knowingly. She spoke sweet words, and even though he knew they were fake, he couldn't help but feel happy. It was like flattery, everyone knew it was flattery, but everyone liked to hear it.

Speaking of which, Shui Rong had many beautiful women around him, but he seldom said sweet words to them. Even to Yuanchun, he could not say a few words. But when it came to Daiyu, he was full of sweet words.

There's no way. Daiyu is different from others. She is innocent and straightforward, so she just falls for this kind of tricks. If there weren't these preparations, do you think she would let Shui Rong tease her like this?

Looking up at Xiren who was standing by, Shui Rong waved and said, "Xiren, come here."

He was so focused on Daiyu that he forgot about Xiren, who had suffered the consequences. She stood quietly by the side, looking like an abandoned puppy, so pitiful.

Xiren's delicate body trembled, and she moved closer with a red face. She raised her delicate head and glanced at the young man. Her beautiful eyes sparkled, and she said in a gentle voice, "What do you want, my lord?"

Look at the hardworking, top-notch workers.
Shui Rong chuckled and said jokingly, "Why? I can't call you without your permission. We are all family, but you are acting strange."

Xiren trembled when she heard this, and her beautiful face turned red with shame. She didn't know what to say for a moment, so she just lowered her head and twisted the embroidered handkerchief with her bare hands.

It is good to be one's own people, but Xiren also knows herself well. The prince will never call her unless he needs her!
Daiyu heard her own words and seemed to remember something. Her cheeks flushed red. She rolled her beautiful eyes at the young man and said, "Brother, be serious."

He plays tricks on people when they are not paying attention. I don’t know why my brother is such a scoundrel.

As she spoke, Daiyu raised her eyes to look at Xiren, her bright eyes twinkled under her willow-leaf brows, a hint of shyness spread between her brows, and she said softly, "Sister Xiren, go rinse your mouth first!"

But she knew that if she didn't rinse her mouth, she wouldn't feel comfortable at all.

Xiren didn't care at first, but after the girl's reminder, the soft feeling lingering between her teeth made Xiren feel ashamed. She responded with a red face and retreated.

Shui Rong smiled knowingly upon seeing this, but did not say much. It was easy for girls to get along with each other, and now that they had something in common after what happened today, they thought their relationship would be closer.

Holding the girl's hand, Shui Rong said softly, "Pin'er, Xiren has always been considerate. Now she is one of us. If there is anything inconvenient, let her do it."

Zijuan, who was standing aside, saw the prince's different attitudes towards Xiren. A strange look flashed across her bright eyes under her willow-leaf eyebrows, and her heart was a little sad.

She didn't know that Xiren had already been hers for a long time. She thought that the prince was in a good mood today and asked Xiren to serve him. If she hadn't gone out, she would have been the one!
Xiren is pushing herself down.

Daiyu felt ashamed and angry when she heard this, and glared at the young man with her bright eyes under her smoky brows.

Others think that convenient things are serious matters, but Daiyu knows in her heart that the convenient things her brother refers to are not serious, just like what he did just now. His mind is really full of filth.

Glancing at the dejected Zijuan, Daiyu understood. She blinked her bright eyes and said in a whisper, "Little sister, here is Sister Zijuan."

Although my brother is a bit absurd, his outstanding appearance and gentle personality have attracted many maids, and Zijuan is one of them.

As good sisters, Daiyu couldn't bear to part with Zijuan, but even so, she could only give her to her brother.

Shui Rong was startled when he heard this. He looked up at the pretty Zijuan, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He smiled and replied, "Pin'er is right."

Daiyu rolled her eyes at the young man, secretly cursing in her heart, thinking that her brother's philandering problem was really helpless.

Zijuan didn't understand what was going on. She listened to the conversation between Daiyu and the prince and thought that the prince was worried about the girl. She blinked her beautiful eyes and said, "Don't worry, Prince. I will serve the girl wholeheartedly."

Shui Rong was startled when she heard this, then she chuckled and said, "Well, it's good that you have this thought, you are a good girl."

Daiyu stared at the serious Zijuan, and while she was touched, she also found it quite funny. She narrowed her eyes slightly and scolded in a bad mood: "What a stupid hoof." Zijuan: "."

Didn't the prince praise her? Why did the girl scold her for no reason? What did she say wrong?
Shui Rong smiled and did not continue to tease. He hugged the girl's delicate body and said softly, "Pin'er, it's getting late. I'm going to go see the old lady and the others first. You ask someone to pack up the things first and go back to the palace with your brother later."

Since Shui Rong had agreed to take Daiyu back to the palace, he would naturally not go back on his word. Given his status, it was very likely that Grandmother Jia would not refuse, so it was not surprising to let Daiyu make arrangements early.

This is water-soluble confidence.

Daiyu frowned when she heard this and replied softly, "Brother, please go. I will wait for your news."

Shui Rong nodded gently, lifted the girl up, and kissed her delicate face, which felt soft and delicate. Then he walked away.

Daiyu looked at the direction where the young man left with burning eyes. When his figure disappeared, she calmed down. Then, as if she remembered something, her cheeks flushed and she wiped her face with an embroidered handkerchief.

My brother is the same. He hasn't rinsed his mouth yet.
Zijuan looked at the girl's actions and understood what she was doing. Her pretty face flushed red, but she didn't expose her. She changed the subject and asked, "Girl, why did you scold me just now?"

Daiyu was startled when she heard this. She looked at Zijuan with her bright eyes, her cheeks flushed like clouds. After holding back for a while, she waved her sleeves and said, "You want to go by yourself."

How could she say such a thing? When the time comes, Zijuan will understand.

At this moment, Daiyu thought of Zijuan's embarrassing scene, and for some reason, she felt a little excited. After all, Zijuan was the one who witnessed everything. If she kept Zijuan out of it, she would be embarrassed to see her.

Zijuan looked at Daiyu's unusual attitude and felt suspicious, not knowing what was wrong with the girl.

The warm room where Daiyu was staying was originally close to Rongqing Hall, so Shui Rong left the warm room, passed through a door, and went straight to Rongqing Hall. Seeing Lady Jia, Mrs. Wang, and Yuanchun whispering to each other, she felt amused.

Three women make a play, and they are three generations of a family. I think this play will be very exciting.

As for the twins, they were probably asleep, so they were carried away.

"The prince is here." Grandmother Jia stood up to greet him, her old face full of smiles.

Shui Rong nodded, sat down next to Yuanchun, and said in a clear voice: "I went to see my sisters earlier and didn't come to see the old lady. I hope the old lady will forgive me."

Jia's mother did not sit on the main seat, but sat down on the yellow rosewood chair on the side, and said with a smile: "Your Highness is too polite. I am grateful to you, so how can I blame you?"

It is true that the prince went to see his sisters, but he must have left some time for them to have private conversations.

Shui Rong chuckled when he heard this, his eyes turned slightly, and he suddenly said: "Oh, right, there is something I want to ask the old lady for instructions. I saw my sisters today, and thinking that mother always likes to be lively, I want my sisters to stay in the palace for a while. I wonder if it is possible."

Now that the conversation was on the topic, Shui Rong didn't need to hide anything.

Yuanchun blinked her bright starry eyes, and she understood clearly in her heart, her mother has always loved lively occasions, and since Yan'er was born, her mother has been very happy and has been very busy. Such a lame excuse could not appease her, it was obvious that she just missed her sister.

They are called sisters, but they are actually Lin Daiyu.
However, Yuanchun did not expose the truth. She smiled softly on her plump face and agreed, "Your Highness is right. It is very hard for mother to take care of Yan'er alone."

The husband sings and the wife follows, this is what a qualified wife should do.

Grandmother Jia looked at Shui Rong meaningfully with her cloudy eyes, and after a moment of silence, she replied, "Okay, listen to the prince over there, and let Pin'er and the others go to the palace with the prince later."

She now knew what the young man was thinking. Since there was something fishy going on between the two of them, it would not be long before Daiyu stayed with Rongguogong. She might as well keep this pair of wild mandarin ducks, which would also allow her own Baoyu to feel at ease.

"Thank you, old lady." Shui Rong's lips curved into a smile. He picked up the teacup handed to him by Yuanchun and took a sip, feeling refreshed.

Mrs. Wang didn't care about these things. She paused while twisting her Buddhist beads and asked calmly, "Your Majesty, I heard that my master is going to be transferred back?"

They had known this news when they had talked with Yuanchun before, and this was now what Mrs. Wang was most concerned about.

Shui Rong paused, put down the teacup, nodded and said, "Indeed, I think I will be back by the end of the year, and then I can go back to Beijing to spend a happy new year with the old lady and mother-in-law."

Mrs. Wang was delighted when she heard this, and then asked, "Then I wonder what plans the master has after returning to Beijing?"

Grandmother Jia glanced at Lady Wang, her cloudy eyes flickering slightly, but she didn't say anything because she was also very concerned about Jia Zheng's future arrangements.

Shui Rong understood Mrs. Wang's thoughts and did not hide them. He said, "Mother-in-law, my father-in-law had made great achievements in the Governor's Office. He is now sent to Fujian to manage Haimao. The emperor is very happy about this. When my father-in-law returns to the capital, I think he will enter the court. Maybe he will even earn an imperial decree for you."

Being a lady of imperial title was a great honor for a woman, and even Lady Wang, who had always worshipped Buddha, was no exception.

Madam Wang suppressed her secret joy and smiled as she said, "It doesn't matter whether it is an imperial edict or not. I have been very worried about the master since he was sent away. It would be great if he could stay in the capital."

Look, utilitarianism is eliminated in just one sentence.

Grandmother Jia was also satisfied and responded with a smile: "What Zheng'er's daughter-in-law said is reasonable. I am old now and I am looking forward to the reunion of my family."

Jia She: Jia Zheng is a family member and a son, so isn’t he?
Shui Rong did not expose them, and said: "Then this is in line with the wishes of the old lady and mother-in-law."

Grandmother Jia chuckled but said nothing. On the contrary, Mrs. Wang had a look of hesitation on her face. She wanted to ask about the specific arrangements for Jia Zheng, but the prince was a little vague.

As the saying goes, no one knows a mother better than her daughter. Yuanchun saw through Mrs. Wang's thoughts at a glance. To avoid her mother making a fool of herself, she changed the subject and said, "My Lord, it's getting late. Since you want to take your sisters back to the palace, I'll have someone notify them first."

Shui Rong nodded slightly, looked at Yuanchun's plump face, and said softly: "Yuanchun is right, you can arrange it."

After all, she was his good wife who helped her find and fill in the gaps.

Yuanchun smiled sweetly, blinked her bright eyes, and asked meaningfully, "Your Highness, the second sister, the fourth sister, and Pin'er must be notified, but I wonder if the young lady from the Xing family should be notified?"

Although Xing Yuyan was dressed in shabby clothes, she was very elegant and every time he invited his sisters to stay in the palace for a while, he would bring her along.

Shui Rong's heart paused, his delicate eyebrows paused, and he said, "It's up to you."

Yuanchun understood what she heard. Given her husband's personality, if he didn't like something he would say it directly and wouldn't beat around the bush with her. And facing a pretty and elegant girl, as long as her husband didn't dislike her, the rest would basically be clear to her.

Yuanchun knew what to do at this time. There was no other way. Her husband was a real man, and he had the same common problems as other men. Naturally, her husband was no exception. She was used to it.

As for the girl from the Xing family, Jia's grandmother didn't care. She had seen all kinds of storms, so she didn't care about these small scenes. She was even pleased with what Yuanchun specifically pointed out.

As long as he does not lose himself, the prince can try some new and interesting things outside if he wants to. If he gets tired of them, it will naturally be no problem.

After a pause, Jia's mother invited him, "Your Highness, why don't you have dinner today before leaving? I will have someone prepare it as soon as possible. I think it won't be a problem."

Shui Rong shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I appreciate the good intentions of the old lady, but you don't know how much my mother loves Yan'er. She is always by his side. Even Yuanchun, as a mother, can't compare to her. When I came here earlier, I was strictly told to bring the child back home as soon as possible. I can't delay."

Mrs. Wang heard from Yuanchun that Yan'er was favored. Her eyes sparkled and she smiled, "They say that the next generation is close. I see that Yan'er is very fond of her, so it is reasonable for the concubine to be fond of her."

Shui Rong smiled and said, "Of course not. Yan'er is the lifeblood of Beijing Palace, so naturally she is very precious."

As soon as these words came out, the three women present were immediately delighted. What was meant by the lifeblood of Prince Beijing's Palace? It was naturally the prince of the palace, the future Prince Beijing. (End of this chapter)
