Red Mansion Beijingwang

Inside the room, the candlelight on the table flickered, and the orange light diffused, creating an atmosphere of tranquility.

Shui Rong looked relaxed, staring at the beautiful woman who was coughing lightly behind her handkerchief. He picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea and handed it to her, saying, "Wan'er, have a sip of tea to moisten your throat."

Li Wan took the teacup and drank it all in one gulp, not caring about her image as a lady. The soft tea washed over her, and the discomfort gradually eased.

She never thought that one day she would become so shameless.

At this moment, the beautiful woman's snow-white face was flushed like clouds, gorgeous and moving, her bright eyes under her willow-leaf eyebrows were full of water, and there was a hint of shyness lingering between her eyebrows.

Facing the beautiful lady's reproachful eyes, Shui Rong understood and asked with a smile, "Wan'er, are you feeling better?"

Li Wan was startled when she heard that. Her face, reflected in the orange light, was as red as clouds, bright and beautiful. She turned her head slightly and whispered, "Much better. Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."

Shui Rong stared at the beauty's shy face, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he chuckled, "You are not used to it, but you will get used to it in the future."

habit
After hearing this, Li Wan's heart trembled violently. Her bright eyes opened wide from under her willow-leaf brows, and her pretty face flushed red like a rosy cloud.

What? The prince actually asked her to get used to it. Doesn’t that mean she still has to serve the prince?

Shui Rong ignored Li Wan's surprised look, poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip and said, "Go back and tell your aunt about the Li sisters and tell her that I agree."

While Li Wan was serving him, Shui Rong thought for a moment and made up his mind. It would be a waste if he didn't eat the meat that was right in front of him. It was not a good habit to waste food.

As for Daiyu, didn't she say later that it was up to him? So it wasn't a big deal for her to accept the Li sisters.

Besides, it's just kicking off the bed. At worst, she can just climb back up again. She's a little girl, so just coax her and she'll be fine.

Hearing this, Li Wan's heart paused, and she suppressed her discomfort. She lowered her head slightly, and her pair of bright almond eyes narrowed under her beautiful eyebrows. She replied in a low voice, "Well, I will tell my aunt."

Sure enough, the prince was still moved. She said that the prince did not even let go of her, a widow, so how could he ignore his two beautiful cousins.

Man, you just like to try something new. The only difference between you and me is that you won’t throw away something just because you get tired of it.

Shui Rong groaned for a moment, then suddenly said, "How about this, you guys go back tomorrow, and I'll take them into the palace after I've arranged everything."

The Li sisters are included in the Li sisters, but not for just a moment.

Li Wan nodded and said, "I will convey the prince's meaning to Auntie."

As she spoke, Li Wan turned her head slightly, glanced at the sky outside through the carved window, and said, "My Lord, it's getting late. If there's nothing else, I'll go back first."

I just came here to ask a question, but who would have thought that I would keep on talking for a long time. I guess the maid guarding outside would become suspicious.

Shui Rong nodded slightly, feeling satisfied, without trying to persuade him to stay.

Upon seeing this, Li Wan bowed gracefully, said no more, and walked quickly outside. When she walked out of the house, she met Qingwen, and the beautiful lady's heart paused.

I didn't make any sound, so I guess she didn't know!

Qingwen stood prettily under the bright moonlight, her long eyelashes trembling, and her charming peach blossom eyes looking up and down at the Grandmother Zhu.

Earlier, Grandma Zhu wanted to discuss something with the prince, so she withdrew. However, she didn't know what the matter was, and it took half an hour to discuss it.

Noticing Qingwen's suspicious eyes, Li Wan's snow-white face blushed slightly. Under the cover of night, it didn't seem clear, so she lowered her head and hurried away.

Qingwen stared at the beautiful woman's departing back, with suspicion in her eyes growing even more. After thinking for a while, she walked towards the house, lifted the curtain and entered, only to see her own prince sitting upright on a brocade cushion, looking leisurely and contented.

"Your Highness, what important matter does Madam Zhu want to discuss with you?" Qingwen stepped closer and asked softly. There seemed to be a hint of mystery in her soft voice.

Shui Rong didn't care when he heard this, and said casually: "It's nothing, just ask me to take care of Brother Lang."

Although Qingwen was his personal maid, there was no need for him to talk to Qingwen about his relationship with the pretty widow, so he just used Lang'er as an excuse.

Qingwen didn't take it seriously when she heard that. She looked at Shuirong with her charming peach blossom eyes, and the suspicion between her eyebrows became even stronger.

It is true that Mrs. Zhu's mind is all on her son. As a mother, it is normal for her to be worried and come to ask the prince to take care of him.

But Qingwen always felt that things were not that simple.

Shui Rong noticed Qingwen's suspicious eyes. Her charming peach blossom eyes turned, raised her eyebrows, and asked, "Qingwen, what's that look in your eyes?"

It was like catching someone cheating, which was something a maid could not handle.

Seeing that the prince was dissatisfied, Qingwen looked sullen. Although she would occasionally tease the prince, she was always reasonable and the prince would not bother with her.

At the moment, she has no evidence and is just making wild guesses. If the prince finds out, he will definitely beat her.

Seeing Qingwen's cowardly look, Shui Rong was too lazy to argue with her and waved his hand, saying, "Okay, go get someone to prepare warm water. I want to take a bath."

Qingwen said "hmm" and was about to go down to give instructions when she was suddenly stunned. She turned around and looked at the prince, and asked suspiciously: "Prince, didn't you wash it today? Why do you want to wash it again?"

But she knew that Xiangling had only helped the prince take a bath not long ago, so why did he want to take another one?

Shui Rong raised his eyebrows and shouted, "Just go if I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

Hearing this, Qingwen couldn't help but look at the prince with her charming peach blossom eyes. After a moment, she leaned in front of the prince and sniffed him. A faint scent of rouge lingered between her nose, which immediately made the girl's lips twitch.

Shui Rong was also shocked by the girl's abrupt action. He frowned and scolded, "Qingwen, what are you making a fuss about? You are not born in the year of the dog."

He was also convinced that she was so bold to sniff it. It turned out that he had spoiled her.

Qingwen snorted lightly, and her charming face showed a hint of sarcasm. Under her willow-leaf thin eyebrows, her crystal clear peach blossom eyes stared straight at the young man, and she couldn't help but said in a weird voice: "My lord, that Grandmother Zhu is the widow of the princess. How can you be worthy of the princess by doing this?"

It would be fine if our own prince was having affairs outside, but now he even doesn't let go of the princess's widowed sister-in-law, no matter how good or bad she is.

That’s right, Grandma Zhu is not a good person either. If she had any sense of shame, why would she come to find the prince on her own initiative? She must have been unable to control herself.

Shui Rong raised his eyes to look at the girl's sarcastic face and said unhappily, "What are you talking about, Hu Qin?"

"I am Hu Qin"

Qingwen had originally wanted to save some face for the prince, but who would have thought that the prince would not admit it, which immediately made her furious. She shouted, "Where did the prince smell of rouge? If they were not close, how could there be rouge left? Except for the grandmother Zhu who just left, there could be no one else."

Oh, she was still thinking about perfunctory, she felt that Grandma Zhu and the prince had been alone in the same room for a long time, and they were talking about discussing something, but it was probably that they were discussing and having sex at the same time. What a pair of wild mandarin ducks.

Shui Rong felt even more unhappy when he heard Qingwen's cry, but when he saw the "aggressive" look of the girl, he paused but said nothing.

I have to say that the girl in front of me is the brave Qingwen who is not afraid of power.

To be honest, given Shui Rong's identity, it was not Qingwen's turn to question him. However, he did have a hard time explaining himself to the pretty widow, and Qingwen did not say anything wrong.

What? You are still being unreasonable and stubborn? Isn't this going to destroy Qingwen's character?
After a pause, Shui Rong waved his hand and said, "Okay, go prepare the bath water."

When Qingwen heard this, her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and her heart gradually calmed down. A hint of tenderness appeared in her eyes as she looked at the young man.

In fact, when she cried out, she felt a little regretful. After all, she was just a slave and had no right to be so rude.

I don’t know why, but I just couldn’t hold back the anger in my heart.

Originally, she thought the prince would be angry and scold her, but who would have thought that the prince just didn't want to talk more. It can be seen that as long as she didn't do anything wrong, the prince was very tolerant.

Pursing her lips, Qingwen softened her tone and said softly, "My Lord, I dare not be dissatisfied with you, but it is related to the princess after all, so you should take it easy."

The princess was such a tolerant person, she didn't want any rift to arise between the prince and the princess because of this.

Shui Rong heard this and knew that Qingwen was doing this for her own good. He stared at the girl's worried expression, paused for a moment, and asked, "Then according to your opinion, what should I do?"

Qingwen paused, frowned her pretty eyebrows, and said bluntly, "In my opinion, Your Majesty should cut off contact with Grandma Zhu as soon as possible while the princess is still unaware of the situation."

"hehe."

Shui Rong chuckled. He didn't expect Qingwen to actually give him advice. It was quite interesting. Only Qingwen could be so straightforward.

"My Lord, what are you laughing at?"

Qingwen made a suggestion, and the prince not only didn't say whether it was good or not, but he actually laughed at it. Didn't he know that this was the most unacceptable thing to do?

Shui Rong groaned for a moment, then said, "Okay, I know what's going on. You don't have to worry about it. As long as you don't betray me, you don't have to worry about anything else."

Shui Rong was really reluctant to give up the plump and pretty widow. Anyway, Li Wan didn't live in the palace, so he would only try her out when he met her occasionally. If he was careful, it would be fine.

"Your Majesty."

Seeing Shui Rong avoiding the topic, Qingwen knew what the prince meant. She was convinced. With the prince's status, he could get any woman he wanted, so why would he covet a widow?

"Alright. I know what you are worried about. The princess is generous and tolerant and will not argue with me. So don't worry about it."

Obviously, Shui Rong knew that Qingwen was just worried about Yuanchun, but he understood Yuanchun. Given her personality, even if she knew about his affair with Li Wan, she would at most be annoyed, but would not develop a grudge against him.

If that time really comes, just be a little more shameless and try to appease them.

Upon hearing this, Qingwen couldn't help but roll her eyes at the young man and secretly complained in her heart.

The princess's tolerance and generosity were well-known in the palace, but even so, the prince could not take advantage of the princess's tolerance to do whatever he wanted. It was fine for other girls, but the widowed sister-in-law...
The prince is sure that the princess is a kind person and is being bullied by him!
Muttering something in a low voice, Qingwen sighed helplessly, turned around and left the room, telling someone to prepare the bath water.
On the other side, Li Wan followed the corridor in the moonlight to the small courtyard where she was staying temporarily. When she entered the courtyard, she was stunned to see Aunt Li leaning against the door, looking at her with a smile on her face, and there was clearly a hint of teasing in her eyes.

Meeting that teasing look, Li Wan's face flushed with guilt. She suppressed her shyness and stepped forward to ask, "Aunt, why are you here?"

Aunt Li looked at Li Wan, whose cheeks were slightly red, like red plum blossoms, and said, "I'm waiting for you."

As she spoke, Aunt Li circled around the beautiful lady's plump body for a few times, sizing her up with an inquiring look, and asked, "Wan'er, why did you take so long?"

It was just to ask the prince, why did he take an hour? I guess what they did during the day wasn't enough, so they started to be intimate again!
Li Wan felt uncomfortable being stared at by Aunt Li. When she heard this, her heart trembled, and a blush appeared on her snowy face. She said, "When I went there, the prince was not at home, so he waited in the house for a long time."

"Oh"

Aunt Li responded with a meaningful tone, but her eyes were always on Li Wan, as if she was trying to confirm the truth of her words, and curiosity surged in her heart.

Li Wan became increasingly uncomfortable with the investigation, and felt extremely ashamed. She pursed her lips and changed the subject, "By the way, the prince has agreed to Wen'er and Qi'er's relationship."

When the fate of her two daughters was mentioned, Aunt Li's gossiping heart was extinguished. Her eyes lit up slightly and she hurriedly asked, "When does the prince plan to marry them into the palace?"

Li Wan's mind calmed down a little, and she replied, "Your Majesty feels that this is a bit hasty, so let's go back to the Duke of Rong's Mansion tomorrow, and when Your Majesty has made all the arrangements, he will notify us."

Aunt Li couldn't help but frowned when she heard this. Thinking that there were only two of them at the moment, she didn't care about anything and whispered, "Will there be any problems?"

There are many variables before the person enters the palace. If something goes wrong, and the prince gives up the idea, wouldn't his two daughters be waiting in vain?

She thought it would be nice for her daughter to marry the prince, but if the prince didn't like her, she wouldn't rush to marry him.

Li Wan knew her aunt's worries, thought for a moment, and said, "The prince is humble and will not go back on his word. Aunt, please relax."

Li Wan could still guarantee this. When Lang'er first arrived at the prince's mansion to study, the prince promised to let her visit Lang'er, and he agreed not long after. It can be seen that the prince's words are trustworthy.

But I didn't expect that I would become the prince's possession at this moment. It was really embarrassing.

Aunt Li naturally believed Li Wan, and when she heard her say this, she felt relieved and said softly, "Well, let's wait for the prince's notice!"

There is nothing else I can do except wait.

After saying this, Aunt Li's gaze fell on Li Wan. Seeing a hint of red on her beautiful face, her heart moved slightly, and the gossipy heart that had been extinguished was rekindled.

After a moment of silence, Aunt Li leaned close to the beautiful lady's earlobe and asked in a low voice, "Wan'er, is the prince healthy?"

Don't underestimate these things. If the prince is ill, wouldn't his daughter have to remain a widow? This shows the mother's concern for her daughter.

"Ah."

Li Wan, who was in a trance, responded subconsciously, and then came back to her senses. Her snow-white face turned red as a cloud, and her heart was filled with shame.

Meeting Aunt Li's teasing eyes, Li Wan's heart trembled violently. She staggered towards the house and said in a trembling voice, "Aunt, if you have nothing to do, I...I will go back to my room first."

How could she say such a thing? She is so ashamed to face others. (End of this chapter)
