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

Chapter 66 Qinghe replaces the Queen

morning.

Chu Yan woke up and found a warm and soft female body in his arms. Her skin felt great to the touch, her black hair was disheveled, and her head was buried in his arms.

There was another pretty palace maid beside him, also sleeping soundly.

Chu Yan stroked Yuanchun's hair in his arms, recalling her feelings last night. Should I say she was indeed worthy of being called the Golden Hairpin of the Red Mansion? It was a bit intoxicating.

At the beginning, Yuanchun covered her face and hid herself shyly. She did everything properly, just as the palace maid taught her, and she must not speak easily.

He was also very scared and his body was trembling a little.

Chu Yan teased her for a while, kissed her, and slowly guided her before Yuanchun gradually let go, was held in his arms, and began to hum.

It was not until later that Chu Yan had to call Baoqin to help her, and only then did she enjoy herself.

"Knock down."

The eunuch outside the door began to knock gently, indicating that the time had come and it was time to remind the emperor to get up.

Before Chu Yan moved, Yuanchun in his arms moaned and slowly woke up. When she saw Chu Yan with her pair of eyes that still had lazy charm, she seemed to be startled and hurriedly stood up to cover her chest with her snow-white arms.

It took a while before he came to his senses.

"Your Majesty..."

Yuanchun blushed with shame. She knelt on the bed and covered her snow-white and soft body with her hands.

Chu Yan looked at her with amusement, reached out and pulled her into his arms again, letting her chest press against his chest, then bent down and kissed her: "How was Yuanchun last night?"

"I...Okay."

Yuanchun closed her eyes tightly in shame, her cheeks flushed. She didn't dare to think about what happened last night. Every embarrassing thing was something she had never experienced before.

She is naturally good.

This moment is better than ever. Although I am exhausted, I feel physically and mentally satisfied. The depression and anxiety of the past are swept away. Now I just want to lie in the king's arms.

The eunuch knocked on the door again. Jia Yuanchun woke up with a start and quickly opened her eyes to look at Chu Yan: "My king, it's time to get up."

"The King will rest for another quarter of an hour!"

Chu Yan shouted directly outside, and the eunuch who was knocking on the door quickly retreated, waking up Baoqin who was sleeping next to him.

Chu Yan hugged her as well.

A woman who has just been favored especially likes a moment of tenderness in the morning.

"Your Majesty..."

Yuanchun's body and mind slowly relaxed. She put her face on Chu Yan's broad chest and closed her eyes again.

At this moment, she seemed to have finally gotten married. She was no longer just a concubine in the palace, but had a husband.

A quarter of an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

Chu Yan got up, and Yuanchun wanted to get up to serve him, but Chu Yan refused. "There are so many palace maids waiting outside. Why should you support your weak body to serve me? You should have a good rest and come out of the city with me tonight."

Yuanchun said softly, "Thank you very much for your consideration, Your Majesty. I feel..." She blushed and couldn't speak.

Chu Yan smiled, rubbed her, walked out of the warm room, and asked the palace maids to come in and bathe him.

The sound of Prince Qian taking a bath could be heard outside.

Baoqin hugged the quilt in her arms and laughed secretly: "Did your Majesty see that just now? The king's face and chest are all covered with the marks of your rouge~"

Yuanchun blushed with embarrassment and remained silent. Then she suddenly remembered and looked down.

Sure enough, it is true.

Baoqin chuckled softly, "Your Majesty only realized last night what it's like to be a favored concubine. Your Majesty is the true dragon!"

"Stop being that seductive vixen!"

Yuanchun couldn't stand the teasing and scolded her, "You are now also the King of Favor. If you are ever given the title of Consort and leave me, remember what I said: A concubine in the harem is not only about winning the Emperor's favor, but also about being virtuous and kind. Otherwise, the other concubines will curse you behind your back. How will you defend yourself against the attacks?"

Baoqin slowly woke up.

Last night she received the favor for the first time, and she also knew that the two dancers had been given titles, so she became a little carried away.

"Your Highness, why haven't I been given a title?" Baoqin asked softly. Yuanchun covered her mouth and warned her with a stern look.

Baoqin shut up obediently, knowing that if this statement got out, she would be punished.

Whether the emperor would reward or not was entirely up to him. It was a serious crime for ministers or concubines to ask for rewards on their own initiative.

Yuanchun got up only after Chu Yan left. Zhaorong and Caipin of Changchun Palace brought the palace maids into the warm room. They were shocked to see the traces of favor left on her body by Prince Qian.

Seeing that Baoqin was doing the same thing, he was even more surprised.

The new emperor is so vigorous and powerful!
……

Jia Yuanchun returned to the palace.

The news that she and Empress Zhang had accompanied Prince Qian for a banquet last night and stayed overnight in Linjing Palace spread like wildfire and soon reached the ears of Concubine Wu and Noble Lady Zhou.

This made Concubine Zhou extremely anxious.

Concubine Wu, however, remained calm. "A few days ago, you said you wanted the Queen to serve the King, and you would hide away for the night. Why are you so impatient today? Concubine Xian De was also appointed as a consort by the King."

The two of them originally had a bad relationship, but after sleeping in the same bed for three nights, and because they were both concubines of the previous dynasty, Concubine Zhou came to chat with her to relieve her boredom.

"Hmph!" Concubine Zhou said, "If she was only going to serve the king in the night, I wouldn't have to worry. There would always be a time when she couldn't stand the king's favor anymore... But the king said he wants her out of the city to serve at the banquet tonight!"

I thought the king was humiliating the queen and the virtuous concubine by asking them to pour wine, but it turned out not to be the case. He asked them to pour wine just because he wanted to favor them!
Concubine Wu thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "If the king hasn't asked you to go, don't act on your own. The king is easy to talk to, but he won't allow you to act recklessly."

"How could I be so foolish? I was just sending someone to tell the king!"

Concubine Wu did not answer.

Concubine Zhou didn't dare to go, but then a eunuch came rushing in with the news: "Your Majesty, Princess Qinghe has left the harem and is looking for His Royal Highness Prince Qian!"

"what!"

"What is the princess going to do?"

Both of them were surprised, and the eunuch quickly replied: "I don't know yet. I only saw the princess leave from Kunning Palace and then go out from Qianqing Gate."

"Go and find out!"

After a while, the eunuch came back and reported: "Your Majesty, there is news. The princess will accompany the virtuous concubine to accompany the prince out of the city tonight!"

Now even Concubine Wu, who had been indifferent, could no longer sit still.

Prince Qian did not ask Princess Qinghe to accompany him, but the princess still went out to find him and asked him to agree to leave the city with her.

This method and ability to win favor is no worse than that of a favorite concubine, but Princess Qinghe has not yet entered the emperor's bed.

The eunuch said, "I heard that the princess took the initiative to accompany the Empress instead!"

Concubine Zhou burst out laughing. "No wonder the princess asked to be her servant. So that's what she was thinking... After all, she's an unmarried princess. What a silly girl."

Concubine Wu didn't laugh.

Princess Qinghe is innocent, virtuous and kind-hearted, no wonder Prince Qian is not angry. If someone else had taken the initiative to beg to accompany him, Prince Qian would probably have been annoyed.

……

In the blink of an eye it was evening.

Xia Shouzhong came to report: "Your Majesty, Empress Yuan and Princess Qinghe have arrived!"

"Tell them to come in."

Chu Yan didn't even raise his head. He had been busy all day and only now had time to read the letter that the Jia family sent in the morning.

There are two letters, one is written by Xue Baochai, which describes in detail the actions taken by her, Baoqin and Daiyu after they took over as housekeepers, as well as some reactions of the Jia family.

This also includes the thoughts of the young girls from the Shi and Wang families, whether to stay or leave. According to Baochai's guess, most of the girls are willing to stay.

The second letter was much shorter and was written by Baoqin. It first mentioned that she had become the manager and asked Chu Yan for his opinion on whether he would allow her to take the position. The second letter was about Li Wan's son Jia Lan asking for paper, and she agreed to it on her own initiative.

"Xue Baochai, Xue Baoqin..."

Chu Yan then remembered that there were two girls in the Xue family!
But forget it, it doesn't hurt to have one more person to take care of it. It is said that Baoqin is more beautiful than Baochai and Daiyu, but I don't know whether it is true or not.

Xue Baoqin is not among the Twelve Beauties of Jinling. In other words, she is not a beauty with a tragic fate.

But since Chu Yan has entered the capital, the fate of everyone in the book "Dream of Red Mansions" has been rewritten by him!
