Red Mansion Beijingwang

As night fell, lights were lit everywhere in the palace.

In Qiu Shuang Zhai, in a spacious wing, Tanchun was sitting on a soft couch calculating the accounts. The candlelight on the elevated platform was bright, and the orange-yellow light diffused like water, reflecting the girl's bright and beautiful face, making it shine brightly.

Shui Rong leaned on the other side of the soft couch, looking at the girl's focused expression with interest. Her legs were immersed in a soft fragrance and were gently massaged.

After an unknown amount of time, Tanchun came back to her senses, put the blue account book in place, stretched her body, revealing her graceful figure, and then, as if she remembered something, she sat up straight. Her handsome eyes met the young man's playful gaze under her heroic brows, a faint blush appeared on her bright face, and a little shyness surged in her heart.

He was so immersed in the accounts that he forgot there was a hungry wolf lurking beside him.

Suppressing the throbbing in her heart, Tanchun said softly, "Brother-in-law, the accounts have been calculated. Please review them."

Shui Rong shook his head, then turned sideways, lying on his back on the brocade couch, and said leisurely: "Since the account matter has been handed over to you, brother-in-law naturally trusts you, so there is no need to look at it."

Tanchun blinked but said nothing, but her snow-white face showed a hint of joy.

Shui Rong lowered his eyes and glanced at the servant who was sitting under a few stools. He saw that his face was slightly red, and his bright eyes were full under his willow-leaf eyebrows. He raised his leg and nodded softly, and smiled: "Stupid hoof, you are possessed by a demon."

I have to say, it's quite attractive, but it's a bit uncomfortable through the skirt.

Shishu's delicate body trembled, her pretty face flushed, and her slender hands began to rub and press again.

Previously, she was hugging the prince's legs, and when she turned sideways, the arc of rotation naturally led to inevitable touching. The strange thing in front of her made the maid a little overwhelmed, so she stopped her hand. Unexpectedly, the prince actually poked her with his toes. She was really too embarrassed to face people.

When Tanchun saw this scene, she secretly spat in her heart but didn't say anything. After all, her brother-in-law was indeed not a very well-behaved person in private.

At this moment, Xiao Hong came in and said, "My Lord, Miss, dinner is ready in the side hall."

Shui Rong nodded when he heard this, and looked at Tanchun on the side, and said softly: "Third girl, you must be hungry too, let's go have dinner together."

Having said that, Shui Rong stood up, and the sensible Shishu obediently put the foot down from his arms, helped him put on the boots, and then stood by.

Tanchun was led by her brother-in-law to the side hall. She saw the long table filled with delicacies. Her heart was sweet, but she couldn't help but say angrily, "Brother-in-law, isn't this a bit extravagant?"

Look at those delicacies, including prawns, steamed duck with rice wine, steamed lamb with milk, lotus leaf and lotus seed soup, and stewed ham and pork elbow. Even if the family is wealthy, as there are only two people eating, it won't be a waste!
Shui Rong smiled and said, "I know you are frugal and manage the household well, but today is your birthday, so you should show some respect."

In fact, although the meals in the palace are exquisite, they are also prepared in quantity. The shrewd and capable Tanchun did a very good job in this regard. However, as Shui Rong said, since it is a birthday, there is no need to be frugal.

Hearing this, Tanchun said nothing, but her heart felt even sweeter.

As a girl, no matter how careful I am in budgeting, deep down in my heart, I still like these rituals. The meaning they represent is exactly how important I am in my brother-in-law's heart.

Then the two of them sat at the table to eat. After the meal, they actually didn't touch any of the dishes. After the food was cleared away, they gave it to the people below as a reward in accordance with the principle of not wasting.

Of course, most of the dishes were barely touched. Not to mention that this was a reward from the master, the exquisiteness of these leftovers alone was beyond their reach. If they were not working in the palace, they would not have had this blessing.

After dinner, Shui Rong and Tanchun sat together to drink tea to relieve their greasy feeling and talked about some family matters, among which was Tanchun's younger brother Jia Huan.

The current Jia Huan is different from the one in the original novel. He is not discriminated against in the palace and his temper is not so stingy anymore. When he grows up, Shui Rong will make some arrangements for him. How far he can go depends on himself.

Tanchun was naturally grateful for this.

Before I knew it, it was already late at night. At this moment, the secretary came over and said, "My Lord, Miss, the warm water is ready. It's in the side room."

Shui Rong looked at Tanchun and said softly, "Third girl, let's take a bath together."

Tonight is a wonderful night. Taking a bath and washing it clean is a good thing for Shuirong and Tanchun.

Tanchun's cheeks turned slightly red when she heard this, but she was not a weak person, so she did not refuse. She said "hmm" softly and let Shui Rong lead her hand to the side room.

"My little sister will help my brother-in-law change his clothes." Tanchun's eyes were shy, but she still spoke loudly.

Shui Rong did not refuse and allowed Tanchun to help him change his clothes.

Although Tanchun appeared to be calm and composed on the surface, when everything was settled, the girl's bright face was flushed, and her bright eyes under her handsome eyebrows were slightly narrowed, and as clear as water.

Even though she had seen this before, every time she encountered it, Tanchun's heart always beat fast.

At this time, the maid stepped forward with a red face, a hint of shyness lingering on her delicate eyebrows. She tried not to look at the tall and heroic figure of the young man, and said in a trembling voice: "Miss, let me help you change your clothes!"

I’m afraid the prince won’t help the girl change her clothes. We can’t let her do it herself!

However, the secretary thought too much. Shui Rong waved her hand and said, "No need. I will help the third girl undress."

Tanchun's bright face was as red as rouge, and she hurriedly put her hands together and said shyly, "Brother-in-law, I can do it myself. You should go to the bathtub first, so as not to catch a cold."

As she spoke, Tanchun's eyes drooped unconsciously, as if silence was more powerful than words.

Shui Rong couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. He didn't expect that the girl would still be embarrassed at this time. However, he didn't insist. He glanced at the servant and ordered, "Go and help your girl change her clothes."

As he spoke, Shui Rong walked towards the bathtub. After entering the bathtub, the warm water soaked his body, making him feel a lot more comfortable.

Tanchun blushed and took off her skirt with the help of the maid, revealing her slender shoulders, thin waist, and fair skin. She seemed to have noticed the young man's gaze and could not help but turn her head away. A blush appeared on her cheeks, making her white cheeks rosy, like a red rose swaying in the wind, bright and charming.

Shui Rong took a few glances at her and said with a smile, "The third girl really has a delicate complexion and even bones and flesh."

When Tanchun heard this, she felt extremely ashamed. Her snowy face flushed red. She bit her red lips with her pearly teeth and said shyly, "Brother-in-law is teasing me again."

It sounds like praise, but there is always a hint of ridicule.

After saying this, Tanchun walked forward with lotus steps, and with the help of the young man, she entered the bathtub and bathed together with her brother-in-law in the water where rose petals were floating.

Shui Rong hugged the girl's shoulders and sighed, "This tub is still a little small. Let's go to the Hibiscus Pool to bathe tomorrow. It's spacious and more convenient there."

The Hibiscus Pond was originally built for the convenience of their bathing together. They went there often when it was first constructed, but as time passed and the novelty wore off, they seldom went there.

Upon hearing this, Tanchun's face turned red. She glared at the young man with her bright eyes and said softly, "Hmph, don't think I don't know what evil thoughts your brother-in-law has. I'm afraid that by then you'll have to call Big Sister, Sister Bao and the others."

What does it mean to be spacious or not? I’m afraid it’s spacious enough to realize my brother-in-law’s idea of ​​a group of ducks playing in the water!

Shui Rong chuckled, stretched out his hand to pinch the girl's chin and gently lifted it up, saying: "The one who knows my brother-in-law is still our third girl!"

Hibiscus Pond was built for this purpose, otherwise why would it cost so much to build it?

Tanchun's egg-shaped face flushed red, and she glared at the boy with her bright eyes. Just as she was about to say something, she saw the boy approaching her and kissing her lips.
After a while, Tanchun's face turned red. She felt something strange in front of her. Her heart was trembling. She bit her lips with her pearly teeth and said in a trembling voice, "Brother-in-law, you said before that we should wait for Huan'er to make the arrangements. I thought we didn't need to go through so much trouble. If he has the ability, he can make a name for himself. If he doesn't, he can just keep the family business."

In fact, Tanchun understood that with the help of her brother-in-law, Huan would naturally have a chance to succeed. However, she still hoped that Jia Huan could rely on himself. If she promoted him by force, it would be unworthy of the position, not to mention being disadvantageous to herself, it would also affect the reputation of the Jia family and her brother-in-law, which would not be worth the loss.

Shui Rong was silent for a while after hearing this. He probably understood Tanchun's thoughts.
As a bastard, Jia Huan had a bad reputation in the Jia family in his early years. He needed to wash away his decadent air and be reborn from the bottom up so that everyone would look at him with new eyes. If Shui Rong was mixed with too much, even if Jia Huan was capable, others would only say that he relied on nepotism. It seemed ruthless, but in fact it was full of earnest hope for Jia Huan.

Lowering his head and holding the girl's plump breasts, Shui Rong said vaguely: "Well, I'll listen to you. We'll talk about it when the time comes."

Originally, he treated Jia Huan so well because of Tanchun. Now that she has expressed this, he has nothing to say and can feel a little more relaxed.

Upon hearing this, Tanchun hummed, her slender hands clasped on the edge of the tub, her bright face was covered with a rosy blush that extended all the way to her ears, her heroic eyes slightly closed, and her upturned nose let out a sweet hum from time to time.

Shui Rong just took a quick dip and had no intention of doing anything excessive in the water. After the two of them bathed for a while, Shui Rong helped Tanchun out of the tub.

Seeing this, the attendant who had been standing by the side came forward with a clean towel and said with a red face, "My Lord, young lady, please dry yourself off or you will catch a cold."

She had not left before, but watched from the side how the prince bullied her daughter. But for some reason, she felt inexplicably hot in front of her body when she saw the prince eating, and her steps were a little weak.

Tanchun's body was soft and her snowy face was as rosy as clouds. Her bright eyes looked at the towel handed to her by the secretary, and she took it and said, "Secretary, go and serve my brother-in-law. I will do it myself."

She had just been tormented by her brother-in-law for a while, and now she wanted to be alone.

Shishu's body trembled when she heard that, and her crystal eyes looked at Shuirong. Seeing that he did not refuse, she felt shy but happy at the same time. She raised her trembling hands, picked up another towel, and went forward to wipe it.

Speaking of which, it was her first time to serve the prince naked like this.

Shui Rong ignored Shi Shu. He placed his right hand on the edge of the bathtub and stared at the soft girl. His eyes were full of smiles under her delicate brows.

Since there was a chance to see no one bathing, he would not miss it.

Tanchun was wiping it gently when she looked up and saw the young man's teasing gaze. She felt very embarrassed and turned her body slightly, holding her hands in front of her, and said shyly, "Brother-in-law, don't look at me."

With her brother-in-law looking at her like this, she felt uncomfortable raising her hands or lowering her head, and she could hardly suppress the shame in her heart.

Shui Rong chuckled and joked, "It's not like we haven't seen this before, why are you embarrassed, Third Girl?"

When Tanchun heard this, her face turned red, and she couldn't help but secretly spit in her heart. What you said is true, but it always makes people uncomfortable when you stare at me like this.

Shui Rong was about to say something when he suddenly frowned and looked down at the half-crouching Shishu. Seeing that Shishu clenched his hands holding the towel, he immediately refused to give in and swung his whip, cursing, "Stupid hoof, you are really right when I say stupid."

After that, Shui Rong stopped paying attention to the secretary, walked forward, took the towel from Tanchun's hand, and said with a smile: "Third girl, brother-in-law will help you dry it."

Seeing that the young man had already taken action, Tanchun seemed unable to refuse. She just covered her body with one hand and protected her with the other, allowing the young man to wipe the water stains on her body, her heart filled with shyness.

My brother-in-law is really something. She is not a child. She always likes to play tricks on people and make people feel embarrassed.

At this moment, the half-squatting maid's face flushed red, her beautiful eyes widened under her willow-leaf eyebrows, and the burning pain on her cheeks made her realize that she was actually whipped by the prince.

How could the prince do this?

Such a vile act was a huge shock to the little girl, and she took a long time to recover.

However, Shui Rong, the instigator, ignored her and wiped Tanchun dry inside and out with a towel. He then threw the towel aside and walked forward to hug the girl's tall body and leaned forward.

Here we go again, brother-in-law, why is it never-ending?

Tanchun's white and tender face was flushed like a rosy cloud. Feeling the boy's invasion inch by inch, her clenched fists loosened and she couldn't help but rest them on the boy's shoulders, and her delicate body gradually softened.

After a while, Tanchun's delicate body trembled, and her closed eyes opened. She felt the changes in the plump breasts behind her, and her heart was filled with shame.

Look, my brother-in-law is getting more and more demanding.

The soft and moist fingertips moved close to the girl's crystal earlobe and whispered, "Third girl, your brother-in-law will carry you to the inner room."

Tanchun was startled, and before she could say anything, she felt a void beneath her body, and her whole body flew into the air. The girl, having lost her footing, subconsciously hugged the boy's neck. In a moment, she came to her senses, and her little face was as red as fire.

At this moment, she was facing her brother-in-law, but she was like a sloth. This was too embarrassing!
Shui Rong didn't notice him. He saw the servant squatting on the ground for a long time without coming back to his senses. He raised his leg and tapped lightly, scolding with a smile: "Stupid hoof, why don't you catch up."

This little girl is really short-sighted. She can't even accept this kind of situation. How can she accomplish anything big?

After all, he is going to accomplish something big tonight, and Tanchun alone cannot resist him. Naturally, he will need the help of the secretary, and she is indispensable.

To tell the truth, Shui Rong was prepared. He might even call in Xiaohong and Liu Wuer who were guarding outside the house.

Shishu was touched by the water and came back to her senses. She looked back and saw the prince's back. Her eyes moved up slightly, but met her own girl's misty eyes. Her pretty face turned red in an instant.

Why is this girl hanging on the prince?
Here, Shui Rong carried Tanchun to the inner room, but he was not in a hurry to go to the embroidered couch with curtains all around. Instead, he stood in front of the desk, looking at the calligraphy hanging on the wall, and said, "This calligraphy is Yan Lugong's "Magu Mountain Fairy Altar Record" that I gave to my third sister. Why doesn't it look like it?"

Tanchun's bright face flushed like a rosy cloud. She felt extremely ashamed when she heard the young man's words. At this moment, her brother-in-law was still concerned about calligraphy. He was just playing around!

Biting her lips tightly with her pearly teeth, Tanchun whispered, "That is a copy of calligraphy that I copied. It is a rare copy given by my brother-in-law. I have kept it."

Shui Rong suddenly realized what was wrong when he heard this. It turned out that it was copied by Tanchun.

But to be honest, Tanchun is indeed an expert in calligraphy. The calligraphy she copied is quite similar to Yan Lugong's style. If you don't look carefully, it's easy to misjudge it.

Tanchun was so embarrassed at this time. Seeing that the young man seemed to be still interested in appreciating the calligraphy, she couldn't help but said in a trembling voice: "Brother-in-law, please stop making trouble. I haven't put on any clothes yet."

Shui Rong chuckled and joked, "This is just right, so you don't have to take it off later."

Tanchun's face was as red as fire when she heard this. Before she could say anything, she saw her own body being placed on the desk. She was shocked and immediately felt ashamed. She said angrily, "Brother-in-law, what are you going to do now?"

One problem after another arises. It's better not to celebrate this birthday.

However, Shui Rong did not answer. He moved forward and sealed the girl's lips.

Tanchun was extremely embarrassed, but as the boy continued to attack her, the embarrassment in her heart gradually dissipated. She placed her slender hands lightly on the boy's shoulders and closed her bright and handsome eyes slightly.

After a while, Shui Rong turned around and looked at the secretary who was standing there, a little overwhelmed, and called out, "Secretary, you have also seen how your daughter serves. Go under the desk."

After that, Shui Rong said no more, and turned to Tanchun and whispered, "Third girl, your brother-in-law is here to serve you."

Tanchun's delicate body trembled, and in a daze, she fell on her back on the desk. Her heart was shaken, and she clenched her fists. She was in a trance and could not care about anything else.

Shi Shu's pretty face flushed red as she looked at Shui Rong's back.

Just as Shui Rong said, she had seen how her daughter served the prince, and she knew in her heart what the prince meant, which was nothing more than wanting her.
Biting her pink lips with her pearly teeth, the secretary made up her mind, took soft steps forward, and then got in front of the desk and approached without hesitation.

PS: This is the end of this book. I plan to finish it in about a month at most. I have started a new book, "The Prince of Red Mansions". If you are interested, you can go and have a look. (End of this chapter)
