Red Mansion: Bastards rule the roost

This woman wears a black bun, with a strand of hair hanging down on both sides, slightly moving in the wind. She wears a pink short-sleeved jacket with fallen plum patterns, and the spring color on her chest can be vaguely seen.

She wears a pine-flower-colored moonlight skirt with lace, and a rouge-colored pleated quilt on the outside. The collar is smeared with gold rims, and the "skirt has fine pleats like eyebrow wrinkles" where she moves. It has the subtle and unobtrusive style of Xiaojiabiyu.

Jia Cong had eaten it before and was still dazzled by it.

Seeing her melon-shaped face, eyebrows as dark as black, eyes like stars, lips as if painted with red, the corners of her mouth were slightly turned up, she smiled before she said anything, her color did not seem to be inferior to that of Dai or hairpin, but her temperament was completely different, less poetic and bookish. Tao's elegance has a hint of innate charm.

"My lord, please have some tea."

Jia Cong took it with a smile and couldn't help but ask: "Are all the girls in the Prince's Palace of Beijing so beautiful? I've opened my eyes."

The beauty pursed her lips and smiled and said: "The slave family is the prince's concubine, but she has not served the prince yet."

"I see. Could you please give me your girl's name?" Jia Cong said casually.

The King of Beijing called his concubine to greet me. The standards are quite high. Do you think I am a lecher?
"Jinse from the slave family."

"Fifty strings of Jinse are unprovoked, each string and one column reminds me of my good years. Well, what a good name." Jia Cong said with a smile.

"It is truly a lifelong blessing for the slave family to be praised by the Duke." Jinse smiled softly, his teeth as sharp as gourd rhinoceros.

Jia Cong waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't say that. Isn't your greatest luck to be able to serve the prince?"

Jin Se said: "Although it is a great fortune to meet the prince, but among all the educated women in the world, who wouldn't want to meet the prince in person?

It is precisely because the prince knows that the slave family has admired the Duke for a long time that he ordered me to serve. "

When Jia Cong heard this, his heart trembled, but in an instant, the vigilance of the admiral in golden clothes was also aroused. Qinian was immediately suppressed and said with a half-smile: "The prince asked you to serve me?"

Jinse nodded shyly.

"How do you want to serve?"

Jinse's face turned red and her voice was like a gnat, and she said: "The prince has said it, but according to the Duke's orders, the slave family will obey everything."

"If it is forced by the king's order, forget it. I never force others to do anything." Jia Cong said.

Jinse said hurriedly: "No, the slave family...the slave family themselves are also willing."

"Oh? If so, then you can beat your legs for me." Jia Cong said.

"Yes." Jinse hurriedly brought over a low stool, placed Jia Cong's legs comfortably on the stool, knelt on the ground and kneaded them gently.

Jia Cong stared at her intently and sneered in his heart, "If you think you can fool me with a beauty, King Beijing is too naive."

She remained calm at the moment, enjoying Jinse's service with peace of mind. This woman's skills were pretty good, much better than Qingwen.

Feeling her soft and boneless hands slowly move up and touch the sensitive area, Jia Cong gradually started to react.

"Hiss... There's no need here, so as not to offend you." Jia Cong hurriedly pressed her little hand. It wasn't that he was pretending to be a gentleman, but that he didn't dare to act rashly because the enemy's situation was unclear.

Jinse bit her lips lightly, moved her fingers a little, and said, "But the Duke seems to be a little unwell. If I don't serve you well, I might be blamed by the Duke."

Jia Cong smiled bitterly and said: "If you serve me well, I will probably be blamed by Clumsy Jing. Next time, wait until I ask for my life and let you serve me well. How about that?"

Jinse sneered and said, "The most talented man in the world and the most powerful general in the country are also afraid of his own country?"

Jia Cong smiled slightly and asked, "Aren't you afraid, Your Majesty?"

Jinse thought for a while, smiled and shook his head.

"That prince is really a role model for our generation." Jia Cong laughed, reached out and hooked her pretty face, and said: "If you were mine, I would be reluctant to let you serve others."

Jinse said shyly: "If the Duke of the country is interested, you can ask the prince for me, and he will definitely agree. I am willing to work as a cow or a horse to serve you."

Jia Cong waved his hand and said: "How can I win people's love? What's more, the prince is charming and suave, far better than me. Wouldn't it be better for you to follow him?"

Jinse's eyes darkened, and he forced a smile and said: "The prince is too modest. The prince has many concubines, so it is not the turn of the slave family to serve him."

Jia Cong's eyes narrowed, he glanced at her and said, "Young lady is too modest. Go and invite the prince. I still have something to do."

"Yes." Jinse glanced at Jia Cong with a sad look, stood up and left.

Jia Cong has discovered several problems from what she just said.

First, a beauty of her level has not yet had her turn to serve Prince Beijing. Could it be that the competition in the prince's inner palace is more intense than in the harem now?
Jia Cong didn't believe it even to death. He had been to the harem so many times and had met many concubines. Except for the queen, there was no one with such stunning beauty. Even Concubine Yuan couldn't compare with her.

Second, why she couldn't wait to ask for her as soon as they met. Jia Cong was not arrogant enough to think that he could conquer the concubines of King Beijing just based on his fame.

In terms of title, appearance, family background, and age, I have no advantage over King Beijing.

If something goes wrong, there must be a monster. Could it be that King Beijing wants to keep her by his side and keep her in the dark?

Jia Cong could only come up with this guess, and he couldn't help feeling a little proud. Shui Rong also underestimated himself, thinking that I can't walk after seeing a beautiful woman?
Not long after, Shui Rong hurried over, cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Why, isn't Jinse serving you well?"

Jia Cong hurriedly stood up to greet her, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is so kind to me, I accept it with my heart, and I have nothing to do with Miss Jinse."

"Why is this? Doesn't Jinse have the eyes of the world?"

"Because beauties are so rare, Cong can't bear to take away someone's love. It's better for the prince to keep it for his own use." Jia Cong said with a smile.

King Beijing invited him to sit down, waved his hand and said with a smile: "Xiao Wang has never been good at this, so it is useless to keep her in the house.

If Brother Shi doesn't give up, he will take it. If he happens to be a hero, he will do me a favor. "

Jia Cong smiled and said, "In the past, I would have been disrespectful, but now the house is full of warblers, and we don't dare to let anyone in at will anymore, so as to avoid trouble."

The King of Beijing smiled and said: "I forgot that my brother's peach blossoms are so prosperous, and Qian'er even captured all the top four major businessmen in Beijing. Although Jinse has some beauty, how can he compare with Lan Jia, Ren Jia and others? Xiao Wang is doing his own thing. ”

"The prince fell in love by mistake, Cong is ashamed."

King Beijing smiled slightly and got to the point, saying, "Brother Shi, please don't take offense to what happened today. It was definitely not arranged by Xiao Wang intentionally."

Jia Cong was already immune to such nonsense, and said, "Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. Cong has no such intention."

King Beijing nodded and said, "Xiao Wang is afraid that my brother's overthinking will cause discord between our two families, which will not be good."

"Your Majesty is joking, is Cong a small-minded person?"

King Beijing smiled and said: "Brother Shi is so heroic and heroic, who doesn't know that?

It's just a matter of clearing the shortfall, but the matter is serious, and Xiao Wang is planning for my brother, so don't act too hastily. If trouble is caused, it will not be a good thing for my brother. "

Jia Cong said: "What the prince said is absolutely true. Cong also knows that this is an offending job. However, he has no choice but to bite the bullet and do the job of being loyal to the emperor."

I'll be open-minded. If you want to gain favors, it's a beautiful idea. It's strange to be willing to use a honey trap.

Jia Cong secretly thought that with the current situation, even if his subordinates asked for help, those people would not thank him. They would only thank Shui Rong, a wise king who "asked for life for the people." King Beijing nodded, without saying much, and said: "There is another matter that needs to be discussed with Brother Shi.

Recently, I heard that someone is secretly selling his official position in the capital camp. He is following the path of Brother Wang. There is a lot of criticism in the army. Brother, does he know? "

Jia Cong was surprised: "Wang Ziteng?"

King Beijing nodded.

Wang Ziteng is one of his own, so King Beijing came to find him. Jia Cong changed his mind and said in a deep voice: "Who is this person? Please let me know clearly. Cong just came back from Jiangnan and I don't know yet."

"Dai Neixiang." King Beijing said: "Both civil and military officials in the court know that Brother Shi and the Prime Minister have a deep friendship. If Brother Shi does not know about it, once the official of the Ministry of Science and Technology is impeached, I am afraid that others will suffer the consequences."

Jia Cong frowned slightly, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for informing me. I will investigate carefully when I get back."

King Beijing smiled and said: "Don't worry, I have been ordered to be the counselor of military affairs, so I will inform my brother.

Whether it is a big or small matter, if the emperor asks about it, we will not be able to answer it.

For Brother Shi's sake, Xiao Wang and all the other Wang brothers should pretend that they don't know what happened before today. I also ask Brother Shi to say hello to Prime Minister Dai Nei. Don't make it too obvious, teach others to hold on to the handle, and let me wait for trouble. Do. "

Jia Cong cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your high righteousness, Your Majesty. Cong will take care of the dishes."

"You and I are family friends, so we should support and care for each other. This is what we should do." King Beijing waved his hand and said with a smile.

When Jia Cong came out of the Prince's Mansion in Beijing, his heart was already covered with a layer of gloom. Although he hadn't thought through it yet, he could already tell that it was not easy to dissolve water.

Ruo saw that his face was as dark as water, neither talking nor smiling, which was very different from usual, and he asked curiously: "What's wrong?"

Jia Cong took a deep breath, held her hand and said, "It's okay."

Ruyi frowned slightly and held him in her hand, saying: "You lie and don't even know how to smile. There must be something wrong. Don't hide it from me."

Jia Cong said: "You know I never lie."

"Bah, if it's a girl's matter, you can lie flawlessly." Ruyi spat.

"I am over-flattered."

"Stop being careless and say something quickly and see if I can help you." Ruyi rolled her eyes at him.

"I'm afraid Prince Beijing can't stand me." Jia Cong sighed.

Ruyi frowned and said, "Aren't you family friends? Have you offended him?"

Jia Cong shook his head: "I didn't offend him, it was the authority in my hand that offended him."

Ruyi said: "What does he want?"

"Of course they are interfering with the authority in the military and asking me to listen to their orders. Hey, the Holy Father asked the four princes of their families to join the military aircraft department to serve as military counselors. They actually picked up chicken feathers as command arrows and gathered into a party.

Now offending King Beijing is equivalent to offending the four families. "Jia Cong said.

Ruyi thought for a moment and said, "How about I go into the palace and talk to my mother."

Jia Cong waved his hand and said: "No, this matter has nothing to do with the queen. If everything bothers the queen, what do you need me as a consort?"

"You, don't try to be brave. After all, the four kings of the Southeast, Southeast and Northwest have deep roots in the military, and their disciples and old friends are spread all over the world. It is not easy to tease them."

Jia Cong sneered and said: "It's not that I want to tease them, it's them who took the initiative to tease the tiger's beard. Don't worry Yan'er, I have my own way to deal with them."

"any solution?"

"I'll ask Mr. Pang when I get back."

"Fuck you." Ruyi laughed angrily and hit him, but she also admired Pang Chao's resourcefulness.
-
After returning home, Jia Cong went directly to Pang Chao to discuss everything that happened today.

After hearing this, Pang Chao closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then suddenly asked: "You said you saw Jiang Yuhan again at the Beijing Palace?"

Jia Cong nodded: "As far as I know, Jiang Yuhan was already acquainted with King Beijing, and he once gave him a scarlet scarf from the Qianxiang Kingdom, and then gave it to Baoyu.

He was in trouble, and it was reasonable for King Beijing to fish him out. "

Pang Chao said without comment, "Ignore him. At today's banquet, King Beijing obviously wants to win over people's hearts, isolate you and divide the Duke's lineage.

Knowing clearly that clearing the deficit is a sacred mandate, but still pushing you out as a target will put you in a dilemma and will definitely offend everyone. This is a conspiracy. "

Jia Cong nodded and said, "I have already thought of this level."

"The first one." Pang Chao continued: "The second one is that the four princes knew very well that they had no real power and could not influence the situation of the court, so they colluded with each other and took advantage of the opportunity of the counselor's military affairs to erect another big flag in the army to recruit troops. .

The targets should be the three princes of the country, the two princes of the Shi family, and the earls, viscounts and other nobles that you gave up. This can be known from the people at the banquet. "

Jia Cong nodded slowly: "This is not difficult to guess."

"Third, I arranged for a beautiful maid to serve you after the banquet. I guess it's to suit your liking. I guess there must be something special about this girl that will make you reluctant to let go once you try it, so I can plant a spy next to you. ." Pang Chao said.

Jia Cong smiled and said: "It was because I thought of this that I flatly refused. Speaking of which, this girl is very beautiful, and she is the prince's concubine. She has not yet shown her face. It would be a pleasure to kiss her."

Pang Chao waved his hand and said with a smile: "I'm talking about her ability to serve men."

Jia Cong thought of those sultry little hands, and his thighs felt a little itchy. He laughed dryly and said, "Sir, I have seen thousands of miles, and I admire you."

Pang Chao smiled slightly and said: "Fourth, it is another conspiracy to tell Dai Quan about Dai Quan. It not only gives you face, but also provokes discord between you and Dai Quan and makes you cut off one of your arms. It's true." A good move.”

Jia Cong said: "That's true, because Dai Quan borrowed my name to do this, and Wang Ziteng knew about his relationship with me, so he didn't dare not do anything about it.

If you dig deeper, I can't escape my involvement, and some will even say that I colluded with the eunuchs and plotted evil, which would be a disaster for Dai Quan and me.

Therefore, I must take action to stop him, which will inevitably offend Dai Quan. "

Pang Chao said: "Now that Dai Quan has taken charge of Dongchang, his power is growing day by day, coupled with his excessive greed and greed, his desires are hard to satisfy.

If you cut off his wealth and hurt his face, he will definitely turn against you and fall into the trap of King Beijing, so you have no choice but to take care of him. "

"Sir, what you are talking about is, how to break these two schemes?" Jia Cong said.

Pang Chao twisted his beard and said with a smile: "The first is to advance in order to retreat. The second is to divert the disaster eastward."

After Jia Cong listened carefully to his explanation, he smiled and said, "I knew you must have a way, sir. This way, it will be watertight and I will have peace of mind."

"It's too early to sit back and relax. The King of Beijing is strategizing and has extremely profound calculations, which should not be underestimated." Pang Chao said.

"The King of Beijing is indeed an outstanding person."

"No, he is deeper than you think." (End of Chapter)
