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

Chapter 84: Born with beauty, it is hard to give up, once chosen by the king

Ningguo Mansion, four o'clock in the morning.

Qin Keqing suddenly woke up in bed and sat up, shouting, "I'm going into the palace and I'm not going back...!"

"grandmother!"

Ruizhu and Baozhu, who were sleeping outside, also woke up. They hurriedly got up and lit the lamp. They saw that the grandmother's face, which looked particularly charming because of her messy hair, was full of confusion. It didn't seem like she was having a nightmare, but rather as if she had foreseen something in her dream.

"Grandma, what's wrong?" Baozhu sat on the bed, holding a gauze lantern in her hand to illuminate her face.

"I'm probably going to enter the palace..."

Qin Keqing said softly.

Baozhu and Ruizhu didn't understand what she meant, so they smiled and said, "Wherever grandma goes, we go too!"

Qin Keqing held their hands tightly and said, "You have said these words, knowing that my love for you is not in vain. Don't worry, as long as I am here, you will be here too. I will serve the king wholeheartedly. If I am granted the golden seal in the future, I will definitely not forget you."

Baozhu and Ruizhu were both overjoyed and said, "With your beauty and figure, and your gentle and virtuous nature, you will surely win the emperor's favor and be named a noble concubine!"

Qin Keqing sat on the bed, covered her mouth and smiled, with charm flowing between her eyebrows and eyes.

It seemed as if from this moment on, she was no longer the Grandmother Rong who needed to strictly observe etiquette, but a favorite concubine who entered the palace to serve the king with her beauty.

The two are very different.

early morning.

After dressing up, Qin Keqing went to Youshi's room and paid her respects.

Seeing her about to kneel, You Shi quickly stood up and helped her up, saying with a smile, "You are different now than before. Why bother coming here again? Aren't you embarrassing me?"

Qin Keqing knelt down, kowtowed to Youshi, and said softly, "Mother-in-law, I am leaving now."

You was stunned.

Qin Keqing said, "My father-in-law has been buried. I can no longer stay at home. My relationship with Rong'er will also end here.

In the past, my mother-in-law took care of me a lot, so I was reluctant to leave.

Our family is now in decline, but as the saying goes, fortune and misfortune are interdependent, and the future is uncertain. At least we still have brothers in the clan, and Rong'er can still marry again. If the emperor shows mercy one day and allows him to return home, mother-in-law can find him another wife... I can't stay at home anymore."

After hearing this, Youshi couldn't help but burst into tears again. She took her hand and sighed, "In the past, I only knew that you were filial, but I didn't know you had such insight... You should go now. We are mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. It is fate that we are together."

Qin Keqing smiled and said, "There are still a few days left. I will go to the West Mansion later."

Yu watched her leave.

……

Hengwu Garden.

Xue Baochai was sewing when Ying'er came in from outside and said with a smile, "Miss, here comes Mrs. Qin from the East Palace!"

Baochai was puzzled: "Why is she here? I have never been in contact with her. She came to see me, probably because of the housekeeper's business."

With some guesses in her mind, Baochai hurriedly got up and went out to greet her. Sure enough, she saw a graceful and charming woman in a skirt walking towards her. After seeing her, the smile on her bright and beautiful face became even more charming.

"Sister Bao~" Qin Keqing took her hand and walked in. After sitting down, she smiled at her warmly and said, "I want to go to the palace to meet His Majesty. Sister Bao, do you want to come with me?"

Baochai was surprised in her heart, but her face showed only wonder. She asked with a smile, "Why did the eldest lady want to enter the palace? The affairs of the Ning and Rong mansions are unlikely to be of much concern to His Majesty."

Qin Keqing glanced at her twice, then smiled, covering her mouth. "Sister Bao is a beauty, and now, under the order of His Majesty, you are in charge of the West Mansion with Miss Lin and Miss Qin. If you still don't understand, wouldn't you be betraying His Majesty's favor?"

These words made Baochai blush.

When Qin Keqing saw her, she couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "Sister Bao is truly a beauty of national beauty and heavenly fragrance. The Emperor must have heard about this from Leng Zixing and chosen Sister Bao to be in charge of the West Palace."

Baochai hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "Don't worry about being laughed at by Grandma. A few years ago, I entered the palace to be selected as the princess's tutor. I don't know if it was because of my lack of looks, talent, or family background, but I was rejected then. Now, fortunately, the emperor has appreciated me and ordered me to temporarily manage the West Palace."

Qin Keqing smiled and said, "So you agree?"

Baochai's round and rosy face blushed, and she nodded slightly, expressing her willingness to enter the palace.

Qin Keqing smiled and took her hand, then asked, "Where is Sister Qin?"

"She went to visit Sister Lin. Should we call her back?" "I just came from Sister Lin's place and haven't seen her yet."

Because Lin Daiyu was in poor health, Qin Keqing only told her to enter the palace but did not invite her to join.

Seeing that Xue Baoqin was not at home, Qin Keqing did not go out of her way to look for her. Someone from the West Palace could just enter the palace.

After a while, Baoqin came back and found out that Qin Keqing had gone back.

"Do you want to enter the palace?" Baochai asked her.

"If Sister Lin doesn't go, I won't go either. I'll stay and accompany her."

If Baoqin also entered the palace, Lin Daiyu would be the only one among the four people in charge who didn't go, which would inevitably cause criticism, so she might as well stay.

Just an hour later, the news that Xue Baoqin and Qin Keqing were going to enter the palace on their own initiative spread throughout the two mansions.

When Li Wan heard this, she felt like there was a fire burning in her heart, making her feel uneasy.

Seeing this, Suyun advised her, "Why don't you go to the palace too? Now that you've lost the dignity of the Duke's Mansion, how can you care about anything else?"

After hearing this, Li Wan sat down and said, "Even if my family is in decline, I shouldn't enter the palace. If the old lady or the mistress knew about this, wouldn't they think I was trying to compete with the girls? It would be a joke."

Suyun looked at her and saw that although she had sat down, her heart was not. So she smiled and said, "What should we do, Brother Lan?"

Li Wan stood up suddenly!
Su Yun glanced at the eldest grandmother and smiled quietly, "Let me be frank. Grandma is so beautiful and young now. Even if you have a son, how can you survive for decades? If you can enter the palace and His Majesty doesn't mind being married, wouldn't that be better than now?"

These words made Li Wan's face turn red with anger. Her heart was beating inexplicably, yet she was afraid of the tiger. She quickly suppressed her strange thoughts and scolded her sternly:

"You're becoming more and more unruly. It's fine in front of me, but if this gets out to others, will I still have any dignity? Then you can't stay!"

Suyun kept talking and making herself look awkward.

After a while, Li Wan whispered, "You're not entirely wrong. Lang'er is in the palace, and I don't know how he's doing... I'll go tell Madam!"

After saying this, he seemed to have finally made up his mind and went straight to Mrs. Wang.

"You want to enter the palace too?" Mrs. Wang looked at her eldest daughter-in-law.

Li Wan lowered her head and explained, "Because my elder sister met Lan'er, she begged the emperor for mercy and brought Lan'er into the palace. I thought, when Yun girl entered the palace last time, she went to see my elder sister first. I pretended to be Miss Bao's maid and followed her into the palace to meet Lan'er."

Mrs. Wang thought for a moment before she said, "That's all very well. Since Grandmother Qin from the East Palace and Miss Bao are coming to the palace, you should go with them."

What she meant was that Li Wan was not as good as them, and the emperor would not pay attention to her even if he saw her.

Li Wan also understood what the lady meant, and a thought suddenly occurred to her:
The Emperor didn't mind the fact that Qin Keqing was already married, but that didn't necessarily mean he didn't...

She was shocked by her own thoughts and hurriedly abandoned the idea of ​​being unfaithful to her husband.

Li Wan was still waiting for a few days to get the emperor's permission to enter the palace, but in the evening, news came from the East Palace:
Enter the palace tomorrow morning!

……

When they saw Qin Keqing again, Li Wan, Xue Baochai, Wang Xifeng and others were all shocked by her dress and appearance.

Qin Keqing, who was already graceful and charming, changed into a white double-breasted gauze shirt, a light and flowing dress, and paired it with a white embroidered tube top. The color was simple and elegant, but it revealed her slender waist and plump breasts. Her face was extremely charming and enchanting, but she was gentle and calm, without the slightest vixen-like behavior!
Xue Baochai is also a very beautiful girl, but when she comes before Qin Keqing, she is overshadowed by her beauty and grace, and becomes much more dimmed.

"Old lady, from now on, I can no longer pay my respects to you."

The charming and gentle Qin Keqing, when she came before Lady Jia, burst into tears again and said goodbye to her.

Everyone could see that Qin Keqing attached great importance to this entry into the palace, and was certain that once she entered the palace, she would be favored by the emperor and would no longer be the former Grandma Rong.

Grandmother Jia looked at her for a few times and said with a smile, "Go away peacefully. It's Rong'er's fault for being unlucky."

Qin Keqing bowed and kowtowed to Youshi, then shed tears and left the Jia Mansion with Baochai, Li Wan and others and entered the palace.

Only after she left did the maids start talking about it.

"So this is what Grandma Rong looks like!"

"That's right... She looks like a vixen, but not a vixen either. She's truly naturally beautiful, just like Yang Guifei!"

"Yang Guifei? Hehe, I think Miss Bao is Yang Guifei! She is as plump and beautiful as the concubine, and Miss Bao's face is just like Yang Guifei!"
