Red Mansion Beijingwang

Prince Beijing’s Mansion, inside the inner room.

Shui Rong was soaking in the bathtub with rose petals floating on it. He leaned against the wall of the bathtub with his eyes slightly closed, letting Xiang Ling wipe him with a towel. He looked relaxed.

After parting with the pretty widow, Shui Rong returned to his own courtyard. The person who greeted him was Xiang Ling, who was on duty today. He told her to prepare a warm bath to wash off the grease on her body.

After all the fun, taking a bath is really a real pleasure!

"Xiangling, how is your mother?" After a while, Shui Rong suddenly thought of Zhen Fengshi. Under his delicate eyebrows, there was a hint of reminiscence in his eyes.

Since he brought Zhen Feng back to the palace from Jiangnan, she has lived in a side room with Xiangling and usually does not come to the main courtyard. Only when Shui Rong is in the mood will he visit them.

Speaking of which, that mature and beautiful woman has been missing for some time.

Xiangling was wearing a short crimson vest, and the sleeves of her ivory-white dress were rolled up, revealing her snow-white arms. Upon hearing the young man's words, a light blush appeared on her snow-white face, and she said softly, "Mother is fine, and she occasionally asks me about the prince's recent situation."

She is no longer the ignorant girl she used to be. When her mother asked about the prince's situation, she knew what was going on.

After all, some things were taught to her by her mother herself.

"hehe."

Shui Rong chuckled knowingly and said, "Well, when I have time that day, I will go see you and your daughter."

It would be fine if Zhen Fengshi was still living a hard life as before, but now she has no worries about food and clothing and does not have to struggle for a living, so she tends to have wild thoughts when she has free time.

There is an old saying that goes, a woman in her thirties is as fierce as a tiger or a wolf.

If there was someone with ulterior motives, he would probably appear in front of Shui Rong from time to time, but Zhen Feng was honest and dutiful, so she just waited to be comforted. Since she knew her duty, she should be rewarded.

"Well, then my mother and I will wait for the prince to arrive." Xiangling's pretty face flushed, her charming eyelashes trembled, and she responded in a voice as soft as a mosquito.

Shui Rong didn't say anything when he heard this, but he found it more and more interesting.

In fact, Xiangling has a soft and gentle personality, and is as gentle and silent as Yingchun. In the past, she would have been too embarrassed to speak, let alone respond.

Parents are the first teachers of their children. Xiangling has been with Zhen Fengshi for a long time, and it is normal for her to grow a little through being influenced by them.

Next, Shui Rong didn't say anything. After taking a bath, he put on a set of ivory-white clothes with the help of Xiangling, then left the house and headed towards Xiaoxiang Pavilion.

Earlier, Miss Lin left because she was "jealous". If I don't try to comfort her, I will be upset.

All the way to Xiaoxiang Pavilion, and entering the courtyard, Xiren, who was standing under the eaves, saw the person coming, her beautiful eyes slightly lit up, and she hurried to greet him, with a look of joy on her pretty face, and said, "The prince is here to see the girl."

In the past, Xiren always called her Miss Lin, but now that they were honest with each other as master and servant, she called her Miss affectionately.

Shui Rong nodded gently, his eyes fell in that direction, and asked: "Is your daughter okay?"

Xiren stepped forward and whispered, "The young lady left the martial arts arena and went back to the house. Miss Bao came over to comfort the young lady. She left not long ago. Now, Zijuan is waiting inside."

When she was in the Mansion of Duke Rong, Xiren knew that Daiyu loved to be jealous, so she was not surprised by Daiyu's temper and even got used to it.

Fortunately, the two masters before and after were both gentle people who would humble themselves to coax others. The difference was that Master Bao would often lose his temper while coaxing her, and the two would start arguing, so Xiren was often worried.

On the other hand, the prince never quarreled with the girl and always let her calm down. He was good at controlling the little girl. There was a huge difference between the two of them. In Xiren's view, this was the difference between a child and a mature man.

To be honest, it’s no wonder that Daiyu chose the prince. Who wouldn’t like a mature, wealthy and caring man?

Shui Rong understood what he heard. When Baochai left, he knew that she came to comfort Daiyu, and he couldn't help but feel more fond of her.

Such a considerate and caring daughter is truly lovable and worthy of sympathy.

"I'll go in and see Pin'er."

Shui Rong walked up to the door, lifted the curtain and went into the inner room, where he saw Daiyu taking off her moon-white long skirt in front of the azalea screen, being helped by Zijuan.

"Brother, how come you came in without making any noise?"

When Daiyu suddenly saw the young man, her heart was in turmoil. Her snow-white face turned red in an instant. She spoke shyly and angrily, and hastily pulled up her half-undone skirt.

Shui Rong's eyes narrowed slightly, his heart moved slightly, and he smiled softly, "Come and see Pin'er."

In fact, he shared the same feelings with Daiyu, and he had also seen her snow-white body. However, there is a saying that goes, the half-hidden charm is the most moving.

Daiyu met the young man's gaze as he looked at her. She did not conceal the passion in his eyes. She was delighted, but also a little shy. Under her curved eyebrows, her bright eyes were full of shame and anger. She said, "Brother, why don't you go out?"

It's not like I haven't seen it before, so why are you so envious?

Shui Rong didn't take it seriously. As he walked inside, he chuckled and said, "Pin'er, you and I have been honest with each other. There is nothing to be embarrassed about."

Daiyu: "..."

Be honest and frank? Can this idiom be used in this way?
Although this person was not a serious person, his words were true. What's more, not only were they honest with each other, they even understood each other's thoughts.

Thinking of this, Daiyu's snowy cheeks turned redder, her two curved eyebrows trembled, and she said tenderly: "Humph, brother, you should tell these jokes to other sisters. I can't compare with them."

Shui Rong felt even more amused when he heard this. He looked into the girl's bright eyes and asked jokingly, "Are you jealous, sister?"

This Miss Lin was very "stingy". When she saw him talking to the two sisters of the Li family for a few more words, she became "jealous" and left, showing her pettiness to the fullest.

However, Shui Rong did not notice him, or it could be said that he was quite happy in his heart.

To be honest, Daiyu is just possessive of love. If she didn't like someone, she wouldn't be so jealous. In the original novel, Daiyu would only be like this towards Da Lian Bao. It can be seen that she has lost her temper with Jia Lian or Jia Rong?

All I can say is that Daiyu’s love is too pure.

Daiyu's cheeks flushed red as she heard this. Under her curved eyebrows, her bright eyes flashed with a hint of panic. She spat, "Bah, little sister, why are you jealous?"

As she spoke, Daiyu seemed to be afraid that the young man would laugh at her for saying this, so she took the initiative to change the subject, raised her eyebrows and shouted, "That damn girl Xiren, she didn't even know to inform you." Xiren was waiting outside, and if she had informed you in advance, she wouldn't have been laughed at by this man and ended up in such an embarrassing situation.

Shui Rong knew the girl was embarrassed, so he didn't continue teasing her. He slowly walked over, staring at the pretty Crimson Pearl Immortal Grass in front of him, and said with a smile, "We are all family, there is no need to report to each other."

"Bah, what do you mean by 'our own people'? Xiren's heart is with um."

Daiyu was about to retort with a red face, but who would have thought that the young man suddenly came forward and interrupted her words. The softness of his lips made the girl's heart tremble.

This person is always like this. Why doesn't he know how to let himself speak?

On one side, Zijuan stared at the scene in front of her, her pretty cheeks flushed, and her straight hair wrapped in the light yellow dress couldn't help but slightly close.

After a while, Shui Rong stared at the girl who was breathing softly, and said softly: "Xiren's heart is with me, but sister, can it be that your heart is not with me?"

Xiren served Daiyu because of Shui Rong's order, and she had long been impressed by Shui Rong. Although she served Daiyu, between him and Daiyu, Xiren was more inclined to Shui Rong.

But you can't say that. Both of them are loyal to Shui Rong, so why should we separate them?

Daiyu's cheeks flushed red as she stared at the young man in front of her. Her bright eyes were filled with shame and anger under her curved eyebrows. She spat in a trembling voice, "How can they be the same? You are just making up stories."

Admittedly, the young man's words made sense to a certain extent, but upon closer inspection, they were perverse logic. One must know that Xiren was her maid on the surface, and as a maid, how could she not be more loyal to her master?

Humph, you treat her as a little girl who doesn't understand things. Do you really think you are stupid?

Shui Rong chuckled, glanced at Zijuan who was standing beside him with her hands down, and asked, "Zijuan, who do you lean on, girl?"

Zijuan's heart trembled when she heard that. She raised her rosy face and looked at the two of them with her bright eyes. She said shyly, "The prince and the young lady are one. It doesn't matter who I support."

The point of this question is that if she sides with the girl, the prince will definitely punish her. If she sides with the prince, the girl will be angry. In short, no matter how she answers, it will be wrong. It is better not to offend either of them.

"Haha, that's a good point." Shui Rong smiled, raised his hand and pinched Zijuan's delicate face. Her pretty face was full of joy.

I have to say, this is a beautifully said thing, you are worthy of being called "wise" Zijuan!

"Who is he? They are one!"

Daiyu's face flushed red, and she lowered her head in shame. Her petite figure trembled slightly, and her voice became lower and lower, almost as loud as a mosquito.

If it's one, then it's not wrong.

Shui Rong knew that the girl was shy, so he didn't care about Daiyu's stubbornness. He stared at the shy face of the girl and said softly, "Sister, you want to rest, I will help you change clothes."

Daiyu's heart trembled when she heard this. Seeing the young man's hand on her collar, she was already embarrassed and turned her head slightly away, remaining silent.

If I had known this would happen, I would have rested earlier and not been so embarrassed.

Shui Rong looked at Daiyu in front of him and said in a gentle voice, "Sister is really quiet and peaceful like a beautiful flower reflected in the water, so charming and lovely."

I have to say that Daiyu is worthy of being the Immortal Crimson Pearl Grass. This blue embroidered dress, set against her fair skin, gives her a tranquil feeling like a landscape painting. She is worthy of being the Immortal Crimson Pearl Grass.

At this moment, Daiyu met the young man's gaze, the burning look in his eyes was as if she was facing a flood or a beast. Her delicate body couldn't help but tremble. She covered her hands with one hand and protected them with the other, her heart filled with shyness.

Even though the two of them understood each other, it was still very embarrassing.

Shui Rong hugged Daiyu's willow-like waist, stared at the girl's shy face, and said softly, "Sister, I will carry you to rest."

Daiyu's delicate body trembled, and her heart was filled with shyness. Then, the changes in the plump breasts behind her made the girl feel even more embarrassed, and her delicate body gradually became soft.

Biting her pink lips with her pearly teeth, Daiyu placed her delicate hands around the boy's neck and asked softly, "Brother, do you think I am a little willful?"

Daiyu and the young man already had a mutual understanding. Although she felt embarrassed about his unruly behavior, she did not refuse. She just couldn't help asking one more question.

Shui Rong paused after hearing this, thought for a moment, and asked, "Did Bao Yatou tell you something?"

The reason why Daiyu behaved so abnormally must be that Baoyatou said some profound truths when she was comforting her, which caused the girl to have some strange emotions in her heart.

Daiyu narrowed her bright eyes, rested her white chin on the boy's shoulder, and said softly with a hint of melancholy in her voice, "Sister Bao said that brother is a royal noble, extraordinary, and it is normal for him to have some beautiful girls around him, and asked me not to mind it. After thinking about it, I think Sister Bao is right."

Previously, she was jealous and had a bad attitude, so Sister Bao comforted herself and said these words of truth. However, she only said part of it for Shui Rong to hear. The other part was because she was so willful and had a bad attitude in public. Maybe her brother would not care at first, but after a long time, it would probably cause disgust, so she should restrain herself.

Daiyu is not an unreasonable person. What Baojie said is just her personal advice. There is some truth in the saying that time will breed boredom. What Baojie meant is nothing more than that she should show some kindness to her brother in front of outsiders and not show him the cold shoulder when she is unhappy.

This is the truth, but Daiyu just can't help it. Every time she reflects on herself, she feels that she has done something wrong. However, she still does the same thing the next time and never changes.

Shui Rong narrowed his eyes, leaned close to the girl's crystal earlobe, and whispered softly: "Pin'er is Pin'er, what brother likes is Pin'er's innocence and straightforwardness, there is no need to change anything."

It is true that Daiyu's innocence and straightforwardness have earned her the labels of "sarcastic" and "stingy", but it is this innocence and straightforwardness that is most precious to her. Without it, she would no longer be the lively Lin Daiyu.

Shui Rong understood Baochai's advice. Her behavior was a model in this feudal society and was likable, but it lacked some color.

There are many dignified and serious people, and people like Daiyu should naturally be well protected.

It’s not that Baochai is inferior to Daiyu, it’s just that their personalities are different, just like the peony and the hibiscus, each has its own beauty, and who can tell which is better.

When Daiyu heard this, her heart was filled with warmth. She looked intently at the gentle young man in front of her. Her bright eyes were full of sparkling light under her curved brows. Somehow, she kissed the young man's lips, and then, with a blushing face, she rested her chin on his shoulder.

Her brother is so considerate, it's worth her loving him.

Shui Rong was stunned. She didn't expect that Daiyu would actually kiss her on her own initiative. But when she thought that Daiyu was a person who dared to love and hate, it was not surprising.

With a light laugh, Shui Rong carried the girl towards the embroidered couch and said with a smile: "Let's not talk about this anymore, let's take a rest!"

Now is not the time to talk about big principles. (End of this chapter)
