The King of Beijing in the Red Mansion

He glanced at the porcelain plate with three pieces of Ruyi cakes left and smiled knowingly. This cake was originally very sweet, and Baochai had eaten three pieces in total, which could be considered a good appetite. He said that Baochai must have a big appetite, otherwise, how could it have such a soft touch.

Baochai seemed to have noticed something and her almond-shaped eyebrows slightly raised. How could she be fat? Why did she keep hinting at it again and again?

Thinking of this, Baochai's jade face turned a little cold, and she said, "If my brother-in-law dislikes me, just say it directly. Why bother?"

Faced with Baochai's anger, Shui Rong said no more. Talking to a woman would only make him bored, so Shui Rong reached out and grabbed the girl's slightly raised head, leaned over and touched her two pink lips, interrupting her anger.

"Even if she is heartless, it is still moving", but little do people know that Baochai's little emotions can touch people's hearts even more.

Baochai's heart trembled violently. She had never expected that her brother-in-law would come so close to her again. Feeling the young man's passion, all the resentment in her heart disappeared. She closed her almond-shaped eyes slightly and said no more.

After a long time, until Baochai was a little out of breath, Shui Rong slowly left that soft touch, leaving a lingering fragrance on her lips and teeth, making her feel relaxed and happy.

Baochai's cheeks were rosy at this time, and her hands were trembling as she tied her buttons. Why did he bully her every time they met? His childlike obsession made Baochai shy and unbearable, but also sweet in her heart.

Shui Rong pursed his lips, looked at the beauty, and said softly: "Sister, today's Ruyi cake is really good, and it is very fragrant."

Shui Rong was not in a hurry for Baochai, and it was acceptable for Baochai to just taste a little in broad daylight. If she took a step forward, she was afraid that her Taoism would be damaged. The meal had to be eaten bite by bite, and there was no rush.

Baochai staggered when she heard this. Ruyi cake is a glutinous rice cake, how can it have the fragrance of nai? It is clearly...

Seeing the beauty getting angry, Shui Rong reached out to help her button up, then changed the subject and said, "Sister Bao, I won't bully you before I marry you."

There are many definitions of bullying. It is too early to deal with the situation right now. At least it did not cause Baochai and Keqing to suffer the same fate.

Upon hearing this, Baochai glared at the young man with her beautiful, bright eyes. If this situation was not considered bullying, would it be considered bullying only as described in the book?

However, Baochai's heart was much calmer at this time. She could sense the boy's unusual movements, and although she felt a little resistant, if her brother-in-law really wanted it, Baochai would not refuse. She just couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

Which girl doesn't have fantasies? For Baochai, it would be perfect only when she could enter the palace with dignity and give her body and soul to Shui Rong.

Shui Rong's words now were tantamount to respect for her, and Shui Rong said "marry", even if she was not a concubine, at least she was not an ordinary concubine. When she entered the palace in the future, she would be upright.

Thinking of this, Baochai looked at the young man with more and more obsessed eyes. The young man in front of her was just as she thought, not the unfeeling and ungrateful Zhang Sheng.

Shui Rong fastened the buttons and was silent for a moment before saying, "Sister, how about I talk to Yuanchun tomorrow and let you live in the palace from now on."

Baochai was startled when she heard this. This was the same as her elder sister telling her to live in the palace, so didn't that mean she wanted to move into the palace?

Now she has been bullied by her brother-in-law Shui Rong, and Shui Rong is her brother-in-law's person, so she is willing to enter the palace. However, she has to consider the feelings of her elder sister, so it would be better to do it later.

After a pause, Baochai raised her eyes and looked at the young man, saying seriously: "Brother-in-law, I'm not in a hurry. I'm satisfied as long as you have this intention."

Now is not the best time to enter the palace. It might offend the elder sister, which would not be worth the loss. The fact that Shui Rong has such intention already makes her satisfied. At least Baochai knows that Shui Rong has her in his heart.

Shui Rong looked surprised when he heard this. The reason he mentioned this matter was simply because he had taken advantage of Baochai and he had to appease her to calm her down. In fact, he had no plan to bring Baochai into the palace right now.

Now Baochai was really as respectful and considerate as he had thought, which made Shui Rong feel a little guilty for a moment, but it didn't matter. Baochai was his after all, it was just a matter of time. He was not the kind of person who would take advantage of her and take nothing for granted. Besides, he was just trying her out and didn't delve into it deeply.

After a moment of silence, Shui Rong nodded and said, "Then listen to my sister. My sister is a little younger now, so it would be good for her to play around in the mansion for a year or two."

Baochai raised her eyebrows when she heard this. It was a good thing that her brother-in-law was considerate, but how could she be young when he said this?

But Baochai was not angry about it, as it was just a harmless matter.

Shui Rong noticed Baochai's strangeness and felt a little puzzled. As long as some sensitive topics were not mentioned, Baochai would still be the respectful person.

Chapter 184 Ying'er: Your Majesty Moves So Quickly

After a brief moment of intimacy, Shui Rong felt it inconvenient for him to stay in Baochai's courtyard for long, so he left first. When he went out of the house, he saw Ying'er lingering under the corridor, and he felt amused.

Although this girl has a lively personality, she is also sensible. It is no wonder that the worldly-wise Baochai would take a fancy to Ying'er, for a girl like this who can liven up the atmosphere and is also tactful.

Ying'er saw Shui Rong coming out of the house, her eyes lit up slightly, and she hurriedly took the tea tray on the railing and walked over to him, smiling, "Your Highness must be thirsty, this is freshly brewed tea, it's just right now, not too cold or too hot, please try it."

Shui Rong chuckled when he saw this, but he didn't care about Ying'er's little thoughts. He waved his hand and said, "Bring it in and let Baomei moisten it."

I think Baochai needs tea more than water. If she stays there any longer, her pink lips will wrinkle.

Ying'er responded and turned to walk into the inner room. She saw the girl adjusting her skirt, with a hint of sweat on her forehead and an indescribable charm between her brows. She was startled.

Years ago, the girl would read some miscellaneous books, and Ying'er also heard some of them through osmosis. In the current situation, could it be that she is sticking to the belly?

I thought the prince and the girl were just talking about something sweet, but the tea wasn't even cold yet, and the prince was so quick.

Although it is a happy thing that the prince and the girl are getting married, they have no name or status at the moment. What will happen if they get pregnant? The girl is so confused!

But Ying'er was only a maid after all, and she couldn't interfere too much in her master's affairs. Moreover, the girl knew very well that she was not an ignorant person, so how could she make such a mistake?

And even if he did something, the prince is not that despicable guy named Zhang, so how could he do such a thing as abandoning a girl.

After a moment of calming down, Ying'er stepped forward and said, "Miss, the tea is ready. The prince asked me to bring it in to moisten your tea."

When Baochai heard this, a blush appeared on her cheeks. Her brother-in-law's excessive demands did make her mouth dry, but her brother-in-law's concern made Baochai feel sweet in her heart. With a light "hmm", Baochai took the teacup and started drinking. For a moment, she felt refreshed.

Ying'er took the opportunity to glance sideways at the red gauze curtains, and saw that the brocade mattress and sheets were intact as before. She felt relieved a little, knowing that her own girl was not that Miss Cui.

Baochai was unaware of Ying'er's wild thoughts, but being smart she also noticed that something was wrong with Ying'er, especially when Ying'er's eyes fell on the red gauze tent. Her beautiful face looked even more delicate, and she lowered her eyes and sipped the tea in her hand.

Although my brother-in-law has not been to Wu Gorge, he has not missed out on any of the benefits he deserves.

Ying'er also came back to her senses at this time, and quickly cleared the food boxes on the table. As for the matter between the prince and the young lady, it was not something that a maid like her could ask about casually.

After cleaning up, Ying'er suddenly noticed the sesame seeds on Baochai's skirt and couldn't help laughing: "Miss, you are too careless. Let me wipe them for you."

The girl always cared about her manners, but the person who stained her dress must be the prince, so the girl was confused and the sesame seeds from the Ruyi cake accidentally fell on her dress.

Baochai lowered her eyes and watched Ying'er wiping the area with an embroidered handkerchief. Her delicate body trembled, and her mind recalled the traces left by her greed when she was a boy. Her pretty face swelled slightly.

After a pause, Baochai said in a trembling voice, "Ying'er, go get some water so I can wipe myself."

It's not that Baochai dislikes water-soluble, but it's just that it's not only on the outside, but also on the inside. It feels vaguely human and needs to be washed.

Ying'er didn't say anything after hearing this. After all, the girl was sweating and really needed to be washed, so Ying'er asked, "Miss, why don't you prepare some more, and I will help you bathe."

Baochai shook his head and said, "It's not that troublesome. My brother-in-law will teach him how to ride a horse later. For now, that's all."

I will probably sweat a lot while learning to ride a horse, so I will just get a basin of water for now and take a bath later. After all, I am a guest in the palace now and I can't trouble others too much.

Ying'er was unaware of his presence when she heard that. She responded and went to get ready.

On the other side, Shui Rong returned to his own courtyard. Qing Wen, wearing a red satin vest, came out to greet him. She smiled and said, "The prince is back."

Shui Rong nodded slightly when he heard this, and walked inside, saying, "Qingwen, go get some water, I want to take a bath."

The weather was already a bit hot, and the two of them were snuggling together, so how could they not sweat? Therefore, Shui Rong's body was a bit wet and he felt quite uncomfortable. He would feel much better if he took a bath. As for taking another bath later, Shui Rong was the boss of the palace, so was he afraid of trouble?

Seeing that Shui Rong didn't pay much attention to her, Qingwen couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly. She pouted her lips and turned to give orders.

Shui Rong saw Qingwen's erect eyebrows but didn't say anything. Qingwen was a straightforward person. She was happy when she was happy and angry when she was angry. She was not good at hiding her feelings. This little problem was nothing big.

Not long after Qingwen left, Yingluo came in. She looked at Shuirong, who was sitting on the chair, with a look of delight between her eyebrows. She stepped closer and said, "The prince is back."

Shui Rong looked at Yingluo and felt amused. It was such a coincidence that she and Qingwen went in and out together.

However, Shui Rong did not point it out. As the master, Shui Rong was the beneficiary of the maids' healthy competition and there was no need to pay attention to it. So he nodded slightly and said nothing more.

Seeing this, Yingluo couldn't help but curl her lips. She stepped closer and flattered him, "Your Majesty, you are sweating all over. How about I help you bathe?"

At this time, Qingwen just returned to the house. When she heard Yingluo snatching for her life, she suddenly frowned in anger and her eyes widened. What a good guy, he was actually playing dirty tricks.

Qingwen, who was stubborn by nature, could not help herself and said confidently, "Sister Yingluo is a noble lady. You can wait until we are all gone before you move. You can enjoy our life as long as you have it. You don't need to trouble Sister Yingluo anymore."

Upon hearing this, Yingluo frowned. What did she mean by "a noble person"? As long as they are with her, she should enjoy herself. As long as she is not mad at them, it will be fine. This is so weird. Does she think she doesn't understand?

However, Yingluo is not an ignorant person. She has a temper tantrum with Qingwen in front of the prince. Wouldn't it be a sign of the prince's disdain? She should tolerate this for now and make comparisons in the future.

Thinking of this, Yingluo ignored Qingwen and looked at Shuirong with her bright eyes, waiting for the prince to make the decision.

Shui Rong also looked at Qingwen. He had to admit, this girl was very eloquent and had a sharp tongue.

After a pause, Shui Rong said, "Yingluo, I will teach my sisters how to ride horses later. Go and tell them."

Shui Rong has always upheld the principle of fairness in the conscientious competition between the two maids. Now he ordered Qingwen to go first, so naturally Qingwen would serve her in bathing. This was called fairness.

Upon hearing this, Yingluo felt aggrieved and looked at Shui Rong with resentful eyes. The little girl was just born better, so the prince was partial to her. She was not bad either.

But since the prince had given the order, Yingluo had no choice but to accept it. She glared at Qingwen and turned to go out.

At this time, Qingwen was all smiles, like a victorious hen, and walked triumphantly to Shuirong, saying softly, "My lord, the water is ready, I will serve you to bathe."

Shui Rong nodded slightly when he heard this. It was a hot season now, so there was no need to add materials to boil water, so he prepared quickly.

However, Shui Rong felt that it was time to take some measures to control the open and secret fights between these two girls, so that they would not get out of control. Well, next time, let them serve together.

Chapter 185: Baoqin: When can I defeat the girl?

Beijing Prince's Mansion, Fengyiting.

Inside the wing room, a beaded curtain was hung, and in the middle was placed a bronze ice jar. Puffs of white mist gushed out from it, making the room cool and refreshing.

Yuanchun, dressed in a light-colored silk dress, was sitting at the desk, holding a pen in her hand. On her jade-like earlobes were light blue tassels that danced slowly with a little wind.

Outside the house, on the corridor, there stood a dozen or so well-dressed old women and maids, all with their hands behind their backs, waiting with bated breath.

Not long after, Baoqin, wearing a pearl hairpin and a blue dress, appeared under the veranda, holding a tray. She smiled and nodded to the maids, then walked into the house. Seeing Yuanchun concentrating on the desk, she approached and said, "Miss, the weather is hot. Have some iced sour plum soup."

As she spoke, she placed the tray next to the desk, and with her bare hands she wiped the sweat from her forehead with the embroidered handkerchief hanging from her collar.

Yuanchun saw Baoqin sweating profusely and said with a smile, "Have a bowl first!"

Baoqin giggled when she heard that, and scooped a bowl and started eating without hesitation. Although she and Yuanchun were master and servant, they were as close as sisters. As they were serving together, their relationship was even closer. Apart from anything else, considering that she had been the one to feed him several times, it was not too much for her to drink a bowl of iced sour plum soup!

After drinking a bowl of water, Baoqin suddenly felt her body was smooth. She scooped another bowl and handed it to Yuanchun, saying in a crisp voice: "Miss, it's hot in this weather. It's really comfortable to drink a bowl of iced sour plum soup."

Yuanchun chuckled, put down the wolf hair brush in her hand, took the jade bowl, pinched the spoon to take a bite, raised her eyes and asked, "Have you sent it to your sisters?"

Baoqin nodded and said, "Don't worry, young lady. I'll have someone deliver it."

Yuanchun nodded slightly. She was still very relieved about Baoqin. Her sisters were now temporarily staying in the palace, so they must be taken good care of and no gossips should be allowed. What's more, these sisters were all her family members, so they should be treated with better care.

Thinking of this, Yuanchun ordered: "The weather is hot, you will give instructions later, don't worry about consumption, the supply of ice in the sisters' rooms must not be neglected, especially in mother's courtyard, not a single day can be spared."

Although ice cubes are a luxury, they are nothing to the wealthy royal family, especially to the Dowager Concubine Beijing, who must not be neglected in the slightest.

Baoqin knew Yuanchun's thoughts and said sternly, "Don't worry, young lady. I've been keeping an eye on the concubine's place. I asked her to send more over earlier!"

At this moment, the maid outside reported that Yingluo, the maidservant beside the prince, had arrived.

Hearing that Yingluo was coming, Yuanchun's eyes lit up. She asked Baoqin to pay more attention to her and let Yingluo into the house.

Baoqin agreed to all the requests, and her willow eyes also looked out of the curtain. Yingluo came, which meant that the prince had returned home. Thinking of the prince, Baoqin's eyes were full of light. She glanced at Yuanchun, who was like a stone waiting for her husband. She gradually felt a sense of uneasiness in her heart. She didn't have any bad intentions, but she didn't know if she could suppress the girl one day and become the "master", just once.

Yingluo walked in with lotus steps, bowed respectfully, and said, "The prince said that he would teach the girls how to ride horses today, so he asked me to come and invite the princess."
