After the rebellion was successful, I realized that this place was the Red Mansion

Chapter 182 No More Teasing Lin Daiyu

After sitting idly for a while, Chu Yan listened to Tan Chun talk about how to connect Huifang Garden and Grand View Garden. According to her idea, Huifang Garden has no walls and needs to be rebuilt to separate it from the East Mansion.

Baochai smiled and said, "In my opinion, there's no need to tear down the wall between the two gardens. The large garden can connect to the small garden, and we can create some different scenery in Huifang Garden, exploring its hidden beauty. Wouldn't that be interesting?"

Everyone agreed, and Chu Yan nodded as well. So it was decided that only one side gate would be opened on the east side of the Grand View Garden, connecting it to the Huifang Garden. The Huifang Garden would have two gates, the south gate and the east gate, so that the female relatives, maids and servants of the Wang and Shi families could enter the garden to play on weekdays.

Chu Yan smiled at Baochai and said, "Your younger sister hasn't decided where she'll stay yet. Have you asked her about it privately?"

Baochai smiled and said, "Qin-mei wants to live with me. It just so happens that Tubi Villa is close to my place, so why don't we let her stay there?"

Chu Yan asked, "Is the Convex Jade Mountain Villa suitable for living?"

Baochai said, "The villa is located at a high place and has an open hall. It is very cool in the summer and a bit cold in the winter, but it doesn't matter. I will ask her to come back and live with me when winter comes."

Chu Yan shook his head: "It's too much trouble to go back and forth. While there's still time, Third Miss, you should have someone build a warm pavilion next to her. Of course, we'll see if Baoqin is willing to live there. You can ask her when you get back."

Tan Chun agreed.

Daiyu glanced at the emperor and thought to herself, "He does indeed care about people."

Although Qin and Bao are cousins, it would be inconvenient for them to live together. If Bao feels cold after winter arrives, she would be too embarrassed to move back to her original place and would have to suffer from the cold for nothing.

Only those who live under someone else's roof can truly understand this feeling.

No wonder he told Baoqin and Xiuyan to choose a place to live instead of living with Yingchun and Baochai.

"Speaking of which," Chu Yan said with a smile, "the names of Convex Jade Mountain Villa and Concave Crystal Stream Pavilion are quite elegant. Who came up with them?"

Baochai, Tanchun, and Yingchun all laughed and pointed at Daiyu, saying, "It was Daiyu who suggested the name, and it was decided by our eldest sister!"

Daiyu glanced at him sideways, then suddenly laughed: "Is Your Majesty asking a question you already know the answer to?"

Chu Yan feigned surprise: "Why would I ask a question I already know the answer to?"

Daiyu remained silent, lowered her head and thought for a while, then laughed to herself, giving him a smug look as if she were certain of her decision.

Baochai laughed and said, "Pin'er, your words make it sound as if His Majesty could predict the future, even figuring out that you were the one who named these two parts of the names we gave you?"

Daiyu covered her mouth with her handkerchief and smiled, "That's hard to say. The ancients said that Zhuangzi dreamed of being a butterfly, which might mean that he did some kind of calculation in his dream!"

Tan Chun and the others didn't quite understand what she meant, but Chu Yan understood and smiled, "What you said is very true. The ancients said that a drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring of gratitude, but there are always those who repay a drop of kindness with tears in their eyes."

Daiyu's eyes widened immediately as she looked over, "That Jiangzhu who repays her debt of tears...!"

She didn't even care when the emperor called her "Pin'er".

Chu Yan laughed heartily, "I'm just kidding you, I was just joking with you."

Daiyu's eyes turned resentful, she pursed her lips and glared at him without saying a word.

Baochai and the others all laughed.

At this moment, Qingwen walked in and reported in a serious and proper manner, "Your Majesty, Second Mistress Lian has arrived." She then added with a smile, "The palace maids said that she is not a young lady and must be reported before she can enter."

The first rule the three of them learned was that the girls could enter the emperor's room directly, while others had to report to him first.

"It's my second sister-in-law!"

Yingchun looked at Tanchun and the others, unsure whether to stand up or remain seated. Daiyu stood up, but Baochai remained seated. After a moment's thought, Yingchun stood up to greet her.

Chu Yan ignored whether they were standing or sitting, and said to Qingwen, "Let her in."

Qingwen went out again, and soon saw a slender and charming figure walk in. When she saw that the room was full of young ladies, she couldn't help but smile: "Oh, everyone's here? I wonder if I've disturbed His Majesty and the ladies? Whether I have or not, I apologize first. It's never wrong to be polite."

She bowed with a smile.

Chu Yan looked at her and saw that Wang Xifeng had a rosy face, a good figure, a charming appearance, and a smile that seemed to be in full bloom. She was extremely beautiful.

In particular, she wore a pale yellow embroidered morning glory jacket with five-colored flowers on the front, and a golden yellow long skirt on the bottom. Her hair was styled in a bun with a golden phoenix hairpin, which made her look rich and charming, with a mature woman's charm that was different from Li Wan's.

Daiyu suddenly looked over, as if sensing his thoughts, and sneered, saying to Wang Xifeng, "Why did you come so early, Sister Feng?"

Wang Xifeng laughed and said, "Could it be that we've really disturbed the ladies' conversation with His Majesty?"

Daiyu quickly said, "Not at all, we didn't disturb you. Please have a seat."

Fengjie looked at Chu Yan and said with a smile, "The Emperor didn't ask me to sit, how dare I sit down and speak carelessly?" Daiyu realized that she had misspoke, but the Emperor said, "Just sit down, Lin Daiyu's words are my words."

Everyone looked on in surprise.

Doesn't that make Daiyu seem like she's been spoiled rotten?
But Daiyu laughed instead: "I dare not impersonate His Majesty's will."

She realized that the emperor was just being sarcastic and didn't actually spoil her without restraint.

Wang Xifeng sat down next to Daiyu, looked around first, and then asked with a smile, "Has Sister-in-law gone back?"

His words made the girls blush.

Because last night, the Emperor summoned their sister-in-law and slept with her in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

And they arrived very early in the morning.

Baochai smiled and said, "My sister-in-law is in the east room. I just saw her."

Wang Xifeng glanced at Chu Yan and then smiled, "I'll go say something to my sister-in-law first. Does His Majesty mind?"

Chu Yan nodded.

Wang Xifeng then got up and walked into the room on the east side. Once inside, she found two maids cleaning, with Yuchuan helping them.

"Is that Feng'er?" Li Wan's voice came from inside the room, and Wang Xifeng went in.

She only realized after entering the passage that she had gone straight into the emperor's bedroom!

Inside, Li Wan had already washed herself and changed into a clean set of clothes. Upon seeing her arrive, she complained, "You really came so early in the morning! Couldn't you even wait a moment? The girls are still outside, and I was worried about how to get out."

Wang Xifeng looked at her carefully and saw that after a night, her sister-in-law's eyebrows were full of spring, and she looked like a delicate flower that had just been nourished by wind and rain.

Having been through similar experiences herself, she could tell at a glance what her sister-in-law had gone through the previous night, and that's why she laughed.

Li Wan blushed as she was laughed at.

Wang Xifeng laughed and said, "Good sister-in-law, don't be shy, I just need you to teach me!"

"what?!"

Li Wan looked at her in surprise.

Wang Xifeng quickly changed her tune: "I need you to save me, sister-in-law. I dare not tell anyone else about this. It has been weighing on my mind for half a month. There are many young ladies in this mansion, but I only dare to tell you!"

Li Wan laughed, "What could be so important that our Feng girl is so worried about?"

She had been favored all night, and although she was tired and slightly aching, she felt as if her meridians had been opened up, and she was in a good mood.

Wang Xifeng thought for a moment, then suddenly stood up and began to undress, startling Li Wan, who quickly grabbed her hand: "What are you doing? If His Majesty comes in and sees this, won't he... look at you?"

Wang Xifeng said, "So what if he saw it? He was bound to see it sooner or later anyway, he just wanted to see it!"

As she spoke, she tore open her clothes, revealing a bodice underneath.

Upon seeing this, Li Wan blushed and looked at her in astonishment.

Fengjie quickly covered her undergarment again. The two of them were lost in thought for a while before Li Wan said, "I didn't know you were... In that case, I'll talk to His Majesty later and ask him to summon you, so that you won't be left alone in your empty room for too long and feel unhappy."

"Good sister-in-law, please don't say such things!"

Sister Feng, both embarrassed and amused, took her hand and said, "You've misunderstood me!"

Li Wan mistakenly believed that she was a prostitute who had deliberately put on the undergarment to seduce the emperor.

But upon closer reflection, Sister Feng looked at her in surprise, "Sister-in-law, have you been alone in your room for a long time before you say this to me?"

Li Wan looked quite pleased with herself, which explained why she hadn't seen Jia Lian for two months and was now thinking about bedroom matters. She even came early in the morning wearing a bodice, hoping to climb into the emperor's bed.

Li Wan blushed, but did not refute her, nor did she say anything more about chastity.

Seeing her like this, Fengjie knew that her sister-in-law had thoroughly enjoyed herself last night, and that she couldn't forget the pleasure of lovemaking. Therefore, she agreed with the saying that being alone in an empty room makes one feel unhappy.

In this way, it's likely that the eldest sister-in-law will side with the emperor from now on, and when she comes to her for help, she'll end up in the emperor's hands instead!
