Red Mansion Beijingwang

Daiyu's angry departure did not cause any waves in front of Tanchun and the others. After all, she was always like this and they were used to it.

However, Aunt Li and the three Li sisters were somewhat shocked. They did not expect that Miss Lin would ignore the prince in public. They were surprised.

But seeing that everyone looked normal and the prince looked unconcerned, he suppressed the complicated feelings in his heart.

Everyone has heard that Miss Lin is the prince's favorite sister, and now it seems to be true.

"My uncle is here."

At this time, Jia Lan, who was originally practicing archery, saw Shui Rong coming, so he put away his bow and arrow, walked forward with rapid steps, and bowed solemnly.

Shui Rong lowered his eyes and looked at Jia Lan, who was dressed in splendid clothes and had a handsome face. Under his delicate eyebrows, his eyes were bright and full of energy, which gave him a capable aura. He nodded and said, "Well, you look energetic. It seems that all the training you have done during this period of time has not been in vain."

A person's spirit is revealed in his eyes. I still remember that Jia Lan used to study hard, with fatigue lingering between his brows. But now, there is a gleam of brilliance in his eyes, which shows his changes.

Life lies in movement. If you just study hard, how can you be energetic?

Although Jia Lan has a steady temperament, he is just a boy after all. He was naturally happy to see his respected uncle praising him, and he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

Seeing this, Li Wan agreed deeply in her heart. After all, the child's father died early because of his frail health. In the past, she had always worried that Jia Lan would follow in his father's footsteps, but seeing the change in Jia Lan, her heart gradually settled down.

Under her beautiful eyelashes, her bright eyes looked at the smiling boy, and a complicated feeling surged in her heart.

The reason why she had mixed feelings was that, firstly, she was grateful for the care that the young man showed towards Lang Ge'er, and secondly, she understood that the reason why the prince treated Lang Ge'er so well was probably because of her.
If Lang'er can be well taken care of, it wouldn't be a big deal if I suffer a little. I think Lang'er's father can understand my difficulties!
Thinking of this, Li Wan's beautiful face turned slightly red, and she secretly called herself a shameless slut. How could she think like this? How could she be worthy of her child's father?

Shui Rong naturally didn't know that Li Wan had been torn between gratitude and guilt in such a short while. He stared at Jia Huan who came with Jia Lan, and saw that his eyes looked at Shui Rong from time to time, as if he was expecting something, which made people laugh.

This is a child seeking attention.

Tanchun didn't say anything when she saw this. After all, Jia Huan had made considerable progress during his time in the palace. At least he no longer did those disgusting things like hanging his head and looking at people with the side of his eyes.

Compared to the previous unpresentable appearance, it is normal now. What can be blamed?

After a pause, Shui Rong asked, "Brother Huan, I heard that your archery skills are even better than Brother Lang's. It shows that you have worked hard and are really good."

Upon hearing this, Jia Huan smiled brightly and said proudly, "Thank you, brother-in-law, for the compliment."

Seeing Jia Huan's smug look, Tanchun, who was originally relieved, frowned and gently reprimanded him, "You are a few years older than Lang'er, so it's normal for you to be better than Lang'er. What's there to be proud of?"

This Jia Huan just can't stand being praised. He even has the nerve to compare himself with Jia Lan, who is younger than him. He is really hopeless.

The elder sister had a natural dominance over her younger brother, and coupled with Tanchun's usual "dominance", when he heard Tanchun's scolding, he immediately shrank his neck like a mouse seeing a cat.

When Tanchun saw this, she became even more angry. She returned to her old ways just after she got better. It's hard to change her bad habits.

Just when Tanchun couldn't help but scold him, Shui Rong said, "Third girl, it's a good thing that Huan'er has made progress. You don't have to be too harsh on him."

He understood that Tanchun had great expectations for her younger brother Jia Huan, but blindly scolding him would easily arouse the boy's rebellion. For a boy like Jia Huan who had a sense of "inferiority", you had to proceed step by step, with more praise and less criticism.

"That's right, brother-in-law is right."

Jia Huan muttered softly, agreeing in his heart. His own sister did nothing but scold him. How could there be such a "cruel" sister?

Seeing that her brother-in-law had spoken, Tanchun didn't want to make a fuss about it. But who would have thought that Jia Huan would actually dare to talk back. Her handsome eyebrows raised slightly, and she stared at Jia Huan with her crystal clear eyes and snorted.

If my brother-in-law wasn't here, I would have taught this ignorant guy a lesson.

Jia Huan's heart skipped a beat, and he looked a little unhappy. He felt that it was not appropriate to stay here for long, so he bowed and said, "Brother-in-law, I still have to study, so I'll go back to the study first."

Having said that, he ran away.

Tanchun was stunned. Looking at Jia Huan's trotting back, she became even more angry. She immediately stopped him and said, "Come back here."

She also didn't expect that Jia Huan would be so ignorant of the seriousness of the matter and run away in front of his brother-in-law. Isn't this embarrassing for his brother-in-law? Do you think you are Lin Daiyu?

Unexpectedly, when Jia Huan heard Tanchun's voice, he ran even faster and left without even looking back.

Shui Rong didn't care. He stared at the girl's angry face and felt quite amused. He said, "Third girl, forget it. It's a good thing that Huan Ge'er studies hard."

When Tanchun heard this, her heart relaxed a little. She knew it was clear to everyone that Jia Huan was not studying hard, but was just avoiding her. Fortunately, her brother-in-law was tolerant and generous and did not take it to heart. He even found a legitimate excuse.

It can be considered as regaining some face for Jia Huan.

Shui Rong didn't want to bother with Jia Huan. He looked up at the ponies on the martial arts field and asked, "Are you all riding horses?"

"Well, Third Sister, Sister Yun and I all rode a few laps. It was so much fun." Baoqin looked at the boy with her crystal eyes, blinked, and said playfully, her round little face full of bright smiles.

Shui Rong knew that Tanchun, Xiangyun and Baoqin were all bold and generous women, and with his permission, they would naturally be unable to resist riding horses.

Especially Xiangyun, she still remembers that she had to grind water-soluble medicine for a while before she got her own pony. Now the pony has grown a lot, and its riding skills have become more and more sophisticated, which will be of great benefit to her in the future.

After a pause, Shui Rong cast his gaze on the gentle and silent Yingchun and asked softly, "Second sister didn't ride a horse?"

This girl has always been very well-behaved. If you don't speak, she basically won't take the initiative to talk. She is a good sister-in-law who is the least worrying.

Yingchun didn't expect her brother-in-law to take the initiative to talk to her. She was very happy, but when she heard the young man's words, her beautiful face was slightly startled. She narrowed her eyes under her willow-leaf eyebrows and whispered, "My little sister can't ride a horse."

She has a gentle personality and is not interested in these intense sports, so she just came to join in the fun and watch, but had no intention of riding it.

Shui Rong listened to the girl's voice which was as soft as a mosquito. If one did not listen carefully, it would be easy to miss it.

But this is also Yingchun's character. She would not scream or shout even if she was pricked by a needle. She would just try her best to control herself. Her suppressed moan made Shui Rong's heart tremble.

Staring at the girl's smooth and white face, Shui Rong said softly, "The three girls have also learned how to ride horses. It's not right for you, as a sister, not to know how to ride."

When Tanchun heard this, her heart tightened slightly. She didn't know what her brother-in-law meant. She twisted the embroidered handkerchief in her hand with her delicate hands and said nervously, "Little sister, little sister is a little scared."

What would happen if that tall horse accidentally fell off?

Shui Rong chuckled, with a smile on his face, and said, "Riding a horse is not difficult, don't be afraid, second sister. If you are worried, why don't you take your second sister for a ride?"

Yingchun was slightly startled when she heard this. Her bright eyes widened slightly under her willow-shaped eyebrows. She said in surprise, "This is not good!"

She felt inexplicably excited to let her brother-in-law take her for a few laps!
On the side, Xiangyun didn't care, and said with a smile: "Second sister, what's the big deal? Didn't my brother-in-law take us on a ride before? It's not a problem. Second sister, go and try it. It's fun."

To be honest, when they first learned to ride horses, they were led by their brother-in-law. It was an exciting feeling that they still remember in their hearts.

Tanchun and Baoqin also tried to persuade Yingchun. After all, they were sisters who had grown up together, so how could anyone be left alone?

Yingchun was already tempted, and after being persuaded by several people, she naturally would not refuse. She raised her smooth face, which was slightly flushed, and whispered, "Then I'll have to trouble my brother-in-law."

Shui Rong nodded slightly after hearing this, and looked at Xiang Yun intently, and said with a smile: "Yun girl, your horse is the most docile, can you lend it to your second sister?"

Xiangyun's eyes curved as she said generously, "If my brother-in-law wants to ride, then he can ride. I have no complaints."

Actually, the pony was originally given to her by her brother-in-law. Now that her brother-in-law wanted to take her second sister for a horse ride, she had no grudge at all.

Shui Rong chuckled and stretched out his hand to pinch the girl's slightly chubby face, only to feel that it was soft and delicate. Under the girl's scolding, he asked someone to lead Xiangyun's horse over. At this time, the saddle, reins and other saddles needed by the horse were all available, which saved the trouble. He looked at the silent girl and invited her with a smile: "Second sister, come over."

Yingchun's snowy face blushed slightly when she heard this. She came closer with some embarrassment, glanced at the young man with her sparkling eyes, and called softly, "Brother-in-law."

Shui Rong nodded slightly, and then explained: "Second sister, hold the saddle and push your left leg to get on the horse first, and your brother-in-law will support you."

Yingchun had seen the way Xiangyun and the others rode horses, and had probably figured out some of the tricks. At the young man's reminder, she lifted the hem of her skirt slightly with her bare hands, put her left foot on the saddle, and turned over.

But she was so inexperienced, and girls are always delicate, that her body stopped in mid-air and then fell backwards, which startled the girl and made her mind dazed.

At this moment, a hand fell on her waist, pushed gently, and allowed Yingchun to climb onto the horse.

At this time, Yingchun was sitting on the horse's back, staggering, covering her heaving heart with an embroidered handkerchief in her white hands, her rosy lips exhaling a sweet breath, and she was a little scared.

If her brother-in-law hadn't pushed her, she would probably have fallen off the horse.

Just thinking of the touch on the waist just now made the girl feel a little shy, and a faint, imperceptible touch of rouge appeared on her snow-white face.

Before Yingchun could recover from the shock, she felt that the young man had already climbed onto the horse behind her. The ambiguous touch from behind made Yingchun feel shy again.

Is this too close? But this is horse riding, and some physical contact is normal.

Shui Rong put his hand under Yingchun's armpit and held the reins. The faint fragrance of the winter jasmine lingered between his nostrils. He whispered, "Don't worry, second sister. Your brother-in-law is here!"

When Yingchun heard this, her heart relaxed a little, but being so close to the boy made her feel a little shy. A rosy blush appeared on her rosy cheeks and she said "hmm" softly.

Shui Rong embraced the girl's plump body, with a slight curve at the corner of his mouth. He held the reins in one hand, drove the horse to move, and began to walk along the martial arts field.

Treating the gentle and silent Yingchun, Shui Rong did not ride with joy like he did with Xiangyun and the others, but walked slowly and leisurely, as if he was just taking a stroll.

When they were some distance away from the martial arts arena, Shui Rong leaned close to the girl's crystal earlobe and whispered softly, "Second sister, hold on to the saddle to be steady."

Yingchun felt the hot breath beside her ears, her delicate body trembled, her snow-white face gradually turned red, her eyes and brows were full of shyness, and she obediently put her hands on the saddle.

Shui Rong lowered his eyes and looked at the rose-red earlobe, which sparkled brightly under the sunlight. He chuckled and said jokingly, "Second sister, it's actually very simple. You just..."

Yingchun's eyelashes trembled, the blush on her face became more and more obvious, and she felt extremely embarrassed.

Why is my brother-in-law like this? How can riding a horse be compared to that? Besides, it wasn't something I wanted to do. It was clearly my brother-in-law's request.

The bright eyes under the willow-leaf eyebrows glanced at the figure on the high platform, and couldn't help but trembled and said: "Brother-in-law, someone is watching!"

Being so close in broad daylight, wouldn't it be easy for the sisters on the platform to see us?

"hehe."

Shui Rong smiled and said pretentiously: "Brother-in-law is riding with my second sister openly, why is he afraid of being watched? Could it be that my second sister is hiding something evil in her heart?"

It is normal to have physical contact when learning horse riding, and people usually don’t think too much about it.

After hearing this, Yingchun, who was naturally soft-hearted, could not help but criticize her brother-in-law in her heart. It would have been fine if her brother-in-law had been taking her for horseback riding properly, but this was not a serious horseback riding lesson at all, it was clearly a prank.

The girl bit her pink lips with her pearly teeth, her heart shy. She lowered her head slightly and remained silent.

Seeing this, Shui Rong understood in his heart that Yingchun's temperament was just so soft and submissive. It was already the limit for him to scold her with just one sentence before. If he said more, he would not be Yingchun anymore.

After all, this guy didn't say a word even when he was poked by a needle.

Thinking of this, Shui Rong's heart moved slightly, and he reached along the hem of her skirt and asked softly, "Does Second Sister miss her brother-in-law?"

Yingchun's delicate body trembled as she felt the changes in the plump figure in front of her. Her bright eyes widened, her snow-white face turned red as fire, and she could hardly contain her shyness.

How could my brother-in-law do this?

Yingchun bit her pink lips tightly with her pearly teeth and tilted her head slightly, her heart trembling in silence. Suddenly, the girl frowned slightly and could not help but let out a soft cry. Then she reacted and quickly closed her lips.

The girl was almost crying with shame at this moment. Her face flushed and she said in a trembling voice: "Brother-in-law, please stop making trouble."

Do you have any shame to make such a scene in public?

Shui Rong listened to the girl's trembling voice, which sounded like sobbing, and loosened his grip, caressed her gently, and said softly: "Second sister hasn't said whether she misses brother-in-law."

Tanchun's delicate body trembled, her snowy face flushed like a rosy cloud, she lowered her head and whispered in a low voice: "Yes."

She has never had a sense of existence in the palace and could only hope for her brother-in-law's favor. She tossed and turned for so many nights, how could she not think of her brother-in-law!

Shui Rong's eyebrows relaxed, and after thinking for a while, he said, "I'm sorry, second sister."

There was no other way. He had to be sneaky and secretive. Right now he didn't know how to explain to Yuanchun about Daiyu's matter. If Yingchun was added to the mix, it would be even more difficult.

To be honest, he didn't want to tell the truth. It was also good to do it secretly, which made him more excited.

After all, there is a saying that goes, "A wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as a secret lover."

Yingchun felt sweet when she heard this. Her willow-shaped eyebrows trembled slightly and she whispered, "Brother-in-law, I am not wronged."

Originally, he was not loved by his grandmother and uncle in the Duke of Rong's Mansion, but now he has a brother-in-law who loves him. The girl cherishes him very much in her heart, so how could she feel wronged?

After saying this, Yingchun suddenly felt that the young man had withdrawn his hand without leaving a trace. She raised her eyes and saw that he had already walked around to the front of the platform. Her heart relaxed a little.

Fortunately, my brother-in-law still has some sense of propriety. If my sisters had seen him, they would have been really embarrassed.

I don’t know why, but a strange feeling suddenly came over me, which is hard to describe.

On the high platform, Tanchun, Baoqin and Xiangyun looked at the young man who was riding with Yingchun. They felt a little envious, but did not say much. Instead, they started to comment on him.

Xiangyun pouted her pink lips and said coquettishly, "It's too boring for my brother-in-law to take my second sister for a walk like this."

In her opinion, riding a horse should be unrestrained and flamboyant, and it is better not to ride like this.

Tanchun chuckled, and two dimples appeared on her bright face. She said unhappily, "Second sister has a calm temperament. How can she be compared with a restless girl like you?"

She thought her brother-in-law did a good job, but it depends on the person.

After laughing, Tanchun looked at the girl on the bicycle with her handsome and bright eyes. She felt a little strange in her heart. Although it looked normal, she just felt that something was not right. It seemed that her brother-in-law's hand that was blocked was not in the right position.

Having said that, it was just a feeling and Tanchun didn't think too much about it.

On one side, Li Wan's mind was on Lang Ge'er at the moment, whispering something. Suddenly, a strange look flashed across her beautiful and gentle face, and the straight hair under her skirt slightly closed.

She had been feeling a little anxious before, but when she suddenly saw the prince, she became distracted. Now that she had relaxed, she became even more impatient.

Li Wan pursed her pink lips, turned around and whispered something to Aunt Li. A blush appeared on her snow-white face, and then she turned around and left, picking up her skirt.
