The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 716 Repentance
Jia Ke looked at Xue Baoqin and couldn't move her eyes away, but now she seemed to react when she heard Xue Baochai's words, then stepped forward to support Xue Baoqin and said with a smile: "Since my sister has come to the palace, she can stay for a few more days, what's the matter?" Feel free to tell me what you like."

This was the first time Xue Baoqin saw the emperor Jia Ke, and now that he held his hand, his face turned red, but Xue Baoqin didn't dare to struggle.

Xue Baochai saw Jia Ke on the side, grabbing her younger sister. Although this was exactly her plan, but at the gate of the palace, Jia Ke's gaffe was afraid that it would spread, so it would be hard to say.

So Xue Baochai hurriedly asked Jia Ke to enter Chengqian Palace to talk, and Jia Ke seemed to have just realized it, then let go of Xue Baoqin's hand, and walked into Chengqian Palace with a smile.

Jia Ke entered Chengqian Palace, and at this time, a banquet had already been set up in the side hall of Chengqian Palace.

Jia Ke sat in the middle, Xue Baochai and Xue Baoqin accompanied Jia Ke on both sides.

Jia Ke is not as cautious as before, and now the beauty naturally drank a few more glasses in front of her.

Before he knew it, Jia Ke became a little drunk, so he took advantage of the drunkenness to hold Xue Baoqin in his arms and didn't let go.

And Xue Baochai, who was sitting on the other side of Jia Ke, seemed to have not seen this incident, and kept pouring wine and vegetables for Jia Ke.

And now Jia Ke's thoughts are all on Xue Baoqin, a beauty, why is she in the mood to drink?Jia Ke hugged Xue Baoqin and dragged her directly into the harem.

Xue Baochai will naturally arrange everything for Jia Ke.

So that night, Jia Ke once again enjoyed being a groom.

When Jia Ke woke up the next morning, she was very satisfied holding Xue Baoqin who was still crying in her arms.

Seeing that Xue Baoqin on the bed still hadn't woken up, Jia Ke gently pulled out her arms, then covered her with a quilt, and walked out of the bedroom lightly.

Li Gui, who was waiting outside, saw Jia Ke coming out, and immediately ordered the court ladies and eunuchs to wash Jia Ke up.

After Jia Ke finished dressing, she told the court ladies and eunuchs beside her, "Miss Xue hasn't woken up yet, so you don't need to disturb her."

After Jia Ke finished speaking, she left Chengqian Palace contentedly, and went back to Qianqing Palace for breakfast.

After Jia Ke left, Xue Baochai appeared in front of Xue Baoqin's bedroom.

Then Xue Baochai pushed the door gently and went in, only to see that Xue Baoqin had woken up at this time, and was currently under the quilt, looking at the roof with dull eyes.

Xue Baochai came to the bedside, smiled and said to Xue Baoqin: "Congratulations sister, we sisters will help each other in the palace from now on."

Xue Baoqin came to her senses after hearing Xue Baochai's words, and then saw Xue Baochai sitting aside, her face flushed immediately, and she hid her head in the quilt and refused to come out.

It took Xue Baochai a lot of strength to pull Xue Baoqin out of the quilt.

"Sister, why are you shy? It happens to all women."

Xue Baoqin asked hesitantly: "Sister, do you think the emperor will blame me for already being engaged?"

Xue Baochai shook her head and said: "I thought it was a big deal, it's just a trivial matter. I will write a letter to my brother in a while, and he will naturally understand what it means. When a letter is sent to Mei Hanlin, he will Naturally, I will call off the marriage in a sensible way."

Xue Baoqin was a little relieved when she heard this, although Xue Baoqin wanted to cling to Jia Ke to enjoy the glory and wealth, but she was a traditional woman after all, and she always cared about her own engagement.

That night, Xue Baochai wrote a letter and sent it to Xue Pan's current residence with his eunuch.

Then Xue Pan received the letter, and after reading it, he wondered what happened to his younger sister, who even pulled Xue Baoqin to her side, wasn't she sharing his favor?

But Xue Pan still has some self-knowledge. He knows that compared with his sister, his IQ is like a firefly.

So Xue Pan didn't think about anything else anymore, thinking that as long as he followed his sister's orders, there would be no mistakes.

So Xue Pan immediately ordered someone to call Xue Biao to his study, and then told him that the emperor had favored Xue Baoqin.

After Xue Biao finished listening, his eyes lit up excitedly.

Ever since Xue Biao brought his younger sister to the capital to join Xue Pan, seeing Xue Pan's current life is very envious. Now his sister is also favored by the emperor, and she will also be the empress of the palace in the future. Does that mean that he is Will he be like Xue Pan in the future?
In fact, Xue Biao looked down on Xue Pan as an idiot, thinking that he was able to act unscrupulously in Beijing because of his sister.

Xue Pan is straight-hearted, after talking about Xue Baoqin, he said directly to Xue Biao: "Sister Baoqin has another troublesome thing, that is, she was engaged to Mei Hanlin, I thought we should write a letter and ask Mei Hanlin to tell her This marriage has been withdrawn, so as not to spread rumors outside, which will be detrimental to Sister Baoqin in the future."

Xue Biao naturally understood this marriage, and naturally fully agreed with Xue Baoqin about Xue Pan's divorce.

So Xue Biao used the Four Treasures of the Study to write a letter of resignation on the spot, and then Xue Biao also wrote a letter to Mei Hanlin, telling him to be more interesting and not to annoy himself.

The letter left the capital in a hurry, and within a few days it was in the hands of Mei Hanlin, who is now an official in Changzhi Mansion, Shanxi.

On this day, I had just returned to the inner house from the government office, and had just had a cup of tea in the study, when the butler came to report, and the Xue family in the capital sent someone to deliver a letter.

After hearing this, Mei Hanlin didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly ordered the messenger to come in.

If Mei Hanlin used to want to avoid this marriage, but now it is different. The Xue family is a relative of the emperor. It is said that they were favored by Xue Baochai in the palace and gave birth to a child. Now the eldest child has been sealed. King Qi.

Just relying on this child, the Xue family can guarantee decades of wealth and prosperity.

After a while, the butler led a travel-worn servant in.

Although the man was full of travel and dust, his face was very proud. He didn't kowtow when he saw Mei Hanlin, but just cupped his hands and said, "Greetings to Mr. Mei."

Mei Hanlin was not happy when he saw that the family was so rude.

Mei Hanlin's housekeeper naturally saw their displeasure with the organization, so he said to the person next to him, "Which family do you teach the rules, and you are so ignorant. Why don't you kneel down and salute when you see my master?"

But the servant said nonchalantly: "My family is a relative of the emperor. Our girl is a noble concubine in the palace. It is considered too polite for me to surrender to your lord just now."

Mei Hanlin didn't want to offend this servant yet, so he could only hold back his anger and said: "Since you are sent by the Xue family to deliver the letter, let me read the letter."

After hearing Mei Hanlin's request for a letter, this servant took out a large envelope from his pocket, and handed it to the butler beside him.

The butler gave the servant of the Xue family a hard look, then took the letter, held it in both hands and sent it to Mei Hanlin.

Mei Hanlin opened the big envelope and saw two letters inside.

Mei Hanlin looked at the covers of the two letters, picked the one written by Xue Pan and opened it.This look, the more you look at it, the more heart sutra, until finally the sweat on your face is streaming out.

It turns out that in this letter, Xue Pan did not hide anything, and told Mei Hanlin directly that Xue Baoqin went to the palace to visit Xue Baochai, and did not want to be photographed by the emperor. This marriage is easy for everyone, otherwise, if the emperor finds out in the end, there will be no good fruit for their family.

Mei Hanlin put down Xue Pan's letter, and opened another letter from Xue Bian to read.

This letter is roughly the same as the letter written by Xue Pan, but the tone is much more tactful. In this letter, there is also a geng post that was originally escorted by the two parties when they got married, and then a silver note of several hundred taels, which was a gift from Mei Hanlin at that time. Engagement gift.

After Mei Hanlin finished reading, he sighed silently, blaming himself for being late. If he had married his third son and Xue Baoqin long ago, there would be no trouble like today.

Mei Hanlin has nothing to do now, after all, his arms can't twist his thighs, and now he has to take a step back and go further into the abyss.

Mei Hanlin was also a straightforward person, he wrote a letter of resignation with the Four Treasures of the Study on the spot, and then ordered the butler to go to the inner house to find his wife, and brought Xue Qin's Geng post.

Mei Hanlin took the Geng Tie, sealed the Geng Tie and the letter in an envelope, and sent it to the servant of the Xue family.

"Here are the papers for retiring and Baoqin's post. You go back and hand them over to your master."

Seeing Mei Hanlin so happy now, he was a little impressed. When he came, he thought that Mei Hanlin would evade in every possible way, and then he would have to threaten him with words. He didn't expect Mei Hanlin to see things so clearly, and immediately Agreed to divorce.

"Thank you, Master Mei. After I go back, I will report the truth to the master. I also ask Master Mei to interact with our master more in the future. It will be a good thing to help each other in the future."

After hearing this, Mei Hanlin nodded again and again, and then ordered the housekeeper to fetch ten taels of silver, and gave it to this servant as a settlement.

The family got the money, so they left in a hurry, because their organization could wait for this matter impatiently. What Xue Pan meant was that they called off the marriage before Xue Baoqin was entrusted, so as to avoid trouble in the future.

After a few days of work, this letter was sent to Xue Pan's desk.Xue Pan read the letter once, with a smug smile on his face, and then he said to Xue Biao beside him: "How is it? I said he is an official of Sesame Mung Bean, how dare he go against our will, look It's not that the document of resignation has already been written, and Geng Tie will be back soon. I will send someone to send a message to Baochai in the palace in a short time, so that she can rest assured."

Xue Baochai received a message from her brother that night, and when Xue Baochai told Xue Baoqin the news, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing the marriage has always been a knot in Xue Baoqin's heart. At first, she was worried that Mei Hanlin would regret the marriage, but after entering the palace to serve Jia Ke, she was afraid of being raped by Mei Hanlin.

Now Xue Baoqin can finally sleep soundly.
