The King of Beijing in the Red Mansion

Shui Rong looked at Daiyu's expression and understood in his heart that Sister Lin was sensitive and very sensitive to the surrounding environment. Most of the servants in the Duke's mansion were snobbish, how could Daiyu not feel it.

Knowing that Daiyu has a strong self-esteem, exposing her would be counterproductive, and if she loses her temper over this, it will make it difficult for Daiyu to do so.

It is indeed difficult to take care of a national treasure "sister".

After groaning, Shui Xiong asked in a warm voice: "Is my sister eating the bird's nest porridge every day?"

Hearing this, Daiyu's eyebrows curved, she covered her mouth with an embroidered handkerchief and said with a smile: "What my brother said makes my sister seem ignorant, that's all. Maybe my sister is used to being naughty, no wonder my brother."

"..."

Okay, he's the one who's verbose. When it comes to Pua people, Daiyu ranks second, but no one dares to rank first.

Looking at the elf girl in front of him, Shui Rong stretched out his hand to pinch her little face, but suddenly felt that it was inappropriate, so he pushed away a strand of black hair scattered on Daiyu's forehead, and said softly: "Brother said the wrong thing, sister, don't say too much." Heart."

When Daiyu saw this, her thin eyebrows frowned slightly, and her bright eyes like the drizzle on the spring mountain looked at the warm young man in front of her, with a hint of dissatisfaction between her eyebrows.

She liked the way her brother pampered her, but he obviously wanted to pinch her cheeks, so why did he just tease her hair? Could it be that her younger sister was not as good as Sister Yun?

Also, I am not as interesting as Sister Yun. After all, my brother does not have me in his heart.

Of course, Daiyu didn't say this out loud, after all, it was like she was begging to pinch her cheeks.

Shui Rong didn't know that Daiyu had already complained about him at this time. His eyes fell on the demure girl, and his eyes lit up slightly when he saw her brightly dressed.

Originally, Baochai was bright and charming, with red lips and green eyebrows, but now she is slightly moisturized, with jade-like cheeks and smooth skin, making her even more dazzling.

Baochai noticed the brilliance in the young man's eyes, and couldn't help but feel happy that her meticulous dressing up was not in vain.

Not only Baochai noticed it, but the bright-eyed Daiyu also noticed her brother's gaze, and her tender little mouth pursed slightly.

It's good for the brother to have her as his "sister" in his heart, but he forgot about the "sister" just after seeing the "sister".

Shui Rong didn't know that this sister Lin had so much drama in her heart. Looking at the bright and charming girl in front of her, she asked warmly: "Sister Bao, how are you doing lately?"

Baochai, who was very happy in her heart, heard the young man's words of concern, lowered her head and responded, "Everything is fine, brother-in-law, thank you for your concern."

"My sister just said it was helpful, but she wasn't sincere at all, which shows that she meant what she said."

Shui Rong said these words of pua in his heart, but if he really said them out, with the intelligence of these sisters, they basically announced the matter between him and Baochai.

Smiling and nodding, Shui Rong didn't say much, and his eyes fell on the gentle and silent Yingchun. She was wearing an ivory long dress with a side-breasted skirt and a stand-up collar. She looked a bit like Xiaojiabiyu, and she was shy. He looked very approachable and asked with a smile: "I remember that my second sister is about to give birth to a baby. Do you have any vision?"

When Yingchun heard this, her eyebrows were lowered, and her cheeks were slightly red. She was about to give birth to a baby, and this baby was not an easy one. It was just when she was getting hairpins.

Pursing her pink lips, Yingchun shook her head and whispered, "Brother-in-law, I don't have any vision."

Shui Rong knew that Yingchun was shy and would not speak out even if he had a vision, so Shui Rong said: "Second sister is good at chess. I remember that there are some unique books related to chess in the palace. When my sister has a baby, I will get it and give it to her." My sister’s birthday gift.”

The Supreme Emperor was good at chess, so he collected many unique copies. As his son, he couldn't be unhappy if he gave one to his sister.

When Yingchun heard this, she was shocked. Not to mention that the so-called orphan copy was a precious thing, plus it was collected by the palace, so it was of great significance. How could she, an unpopular daughter of a concubine, accept such a great gift? She whispered in a low voice. He said: "Brother-in-law, there is no need for it to be so expensive."

Shui Rong didn't take it seriously and said with a smile: "Second sister's son is different from the ordinary. How can inexpensive things express brother-in-law's feelings? If second sister has other visions, then brother-in-law will exchange one with you."

When Yingchun heard the words, a touch of bright red appeared on her jade cheeks. A pair of plain hands twisted the embroidered handkerchief into a ball. She lowered her head and couldn't see the soft-soled embroidered shoes, so she became silent.

As her brother-in-law said, her son was different, but she had never been taken seriously. Now that her brother-in-law was so sincere, she couldn't help but feel a little confused.

Shui Rong didn't say much when he saw this. As the saying goes, half of a sister-in-law's butt belongs to a brother-in-law. It is only natural for a brother-in-law to treat his sister-in-law well.

Immediately, Shui Rong's eyes fell on Xichun, the pink jade carving looked like a porcelain doll, and she said with a smile: "Fourth sister, I haven't seen you for a while, and you are even cuter."

Hearing this, Xiao Xichun's clear little face gradually turned pale, and she said softly: "Brother-in-law praised me."

Shui Rong pursed his lips and smiled, looking at the little Lolita in front of him. Xichun was still young and had not yet developed a withdrawn, indifferent, cold-hearted temperament. She was just a cute little girl at this time.

After chatting with Jin Chai one by one, Shui Rong said a few words of encouragement to Bao Yu as usual and said no more.

A sister-in-law is a sister-in-law, and a brother-in-law is a brother-in-law. They are not the same.

At this time, Baochai brought a cup of tea and said softly: "Brother-in-law, the weather is hot. Drink some herbal tea to moisten your throat."

Shui Rong looked at the submissive girl in front of him. The red and white lotus arms were in front of him. His heart moved slightly. The ecstasy touch was really unforgettable.

Pursing his lips, Shui Rong stretched out his hand to take the tea cup. He didn't know how, but when his hand slipped, the tea cup slipped down and rolled towards Baochai. The tea splashed everywhere, covering the brand-new goose-yellow background of the thin tea cup. The gauze skirt was soaked.

"Oh, sister Bao, are you okay? Brother-in-law didn't do it on purpose."

Although Baochai was accidentally splashed all over him, there were differences between men and women, so Shui Rong did not come forward, but his tone was apologetic.

Baochai's heart was set on the young man, so she could not blame her for these little things caused by her brother-in-law's unintentional actions. She said in a friendly tone: "Brother-in-law, it's okay."

When the maid Ying'er saw this situation, she stepped closer and gently wiped the embroidered handkerchief in her hand. She just looked at the water stain on the tulle skirt and couldn't help but frowned and said softly: "Girl, I've prepared some." There's another set of clothes, why don't you girl change into one?"

The daughter of a boudoir attaches great importance to appearance, so when she travels, she, as a maid, will prepare several sets of dresses, in order to prevent the dress she is wearing from getting soiled and replace it with a replacement, so as not to lose her manners.

For example, Shui Rong and Yuan Chun came to Jia Mansion as a guest, and Bao Qin prepared four sets of different styles of Chinese clothes in case of emergencies.

Although Baochai wanted to stay with her brother-in-law for a while longer, but she lost her manners because of her disheveled clothes, so she nodded lightly, looked at the young man with her bright almond eyes, and said softly: "Brother-in-law, I will go back to the inner room to change my clothes."

With a smile on his face, Shui Rong responded, "Sister Bao, just go away."

After Baochai Yingying bowed, she looked at the young man thoughtfully with her bright apricot eyes, and then led Ying'er out of the house.

Daiyu's clear and bright eyes looked thoughtfully at the calm young man, her eyebrows slightly raised, thinking: "Brother, can't you even catch a glass of water?"

Chapter 237 Baochai: Does she think she has a good child?

The main hall of the east courtyard.

Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang, and Yuan Chun, three generations of grandparents and grandchildren sat together and chatted in detail. As for Mrs. Xing, an "outsider", when she saw this situation, she had already understood and left.

Mrs. Wang held Yuan Chun's hand affectionately, looked down at Yuan Chun's belly, her eyes flickered slightly, and asked softly: "Big girl, it's been half a year since you married into the palace, is there any news?"

Logically speaking, since Yuanchun married into the palace, there should have been news in January or February. Now, half a year has passed, and Mrs. Wang has not heard any good news, and she is always uneasy.

Jia Mu knew what Mrs. Wang meant and watched quietly. After all, as a mother, it was normal for Mrs. Wang to care about her daughter. Besides, this was also a business matter.

When Yuan Chun heard this, he understood in his heart. His eyebrows frowned slightly, with a hint of sadness in his brows. He couldn't help but caress his lower abdomen with his bare hands and fell silent.

This belly is fed a lot, but it just doesn't grow. What can she do?

Mrs. Wang's heart sank when she saw this, like Yuan Chun, there was no movement yet.

The rooms on the left and right were filled with family members, and Mrs. Wang had nothing to avoid. With a cold look on her face, she asked, "But the prince is obsessed with that Miss Qin, so he left you in the cold."

From Mrs. Wang's point of view, the only possibility of hard work being fruitless is that the prince is lazy and therefore cannot bear fruit. The person who caused the prince's laziness is probably the "threat" Miss Qin.

At this time, Mrs. Wang was even criticizing Tanchun in her heart. She sent her there to help Yuanchun. She originally had great expectations, but now it seems that it has no effect at all, and her efforts have been wasted.

Hearing this, Yuan Chun shook his head lightly and explained: "The prince treats his daughter very lovingly and does not neglect her. As for sister Qin, the prince does not favor her. Sister Qin is waiting for her daughter to be pregnant before the prince officially Marry Sister Qin and enter the house."

After hearing this, Mrs. Wang felt relieved. It would not be a big problem if she waited for her daughter to get pregnant before "marrying" Miss Qin. After all, no man had three wives and four concubines, let alone a dignified prince.

It's just that he hasn't been left out in the cold, nor has Hu Meizi seduced him away. Could it be that the seeds haven't sprouted because of the prince's problem?

When it comes to matters between husband and wife, Mrs. Wang selectively ignores her daughter, so she naturally speculates about the problem of water dissolution. After all, the number of people in the Beijing Palace is so thin that it is difficult not to make people suspicious.

After thinking about it for a moment, Mrs. Wang asked pointedly: "Is there anything wrong with you, Your Majesty?"

Yuan Chun was a smart person, how could he not know what Mrs. Wang was referring to? She immediately frowned and became dissatisfied. Even though the person in front of her was her biological mother, she was criticizing her husband's ability in front of her. She was so arrogant. Can't stop coming either.

"Your Majesty is in his prime and has never done anything wrong. Mother, don't make unreasonable guesses."

Not only was he in his prime, he was full of energy and endless torments, especially the "Lu Bu fighting three heroes" in the Furong Pond that day, but he was still in high spirits the next day.

When Mrs. Wang heard this, her face looked a little resentful, but she didn't say anything.

Jia Mu listened clearly and didn't take it too seriously. As long as Yuanchun was favored in front of the prince, this day would last for a long time, not just a moment.

After groaning, Mother Jia asked softly: "What's the attitude of Princess Beijing?"

The Prince of Beijing has very few heirs, and there are not even any legitimate heirs. The one who cares about the heirs the most right now is the Princess Beijing. If she sees Yuanchun's stomach without any movement, she may not be able to rest in peace.

For example, arrange more concubines and the like to extend the number of heirs for the palace.

When Yuan Chun heard this, he paused for a moment, his eyebrows sank slightly, and he said truthfully: "I have been urged to do so by my mother a few times."

Upon closer inspection, Concubine Beijing had urged her several times regarding the issue of an heir. She just saw that Shui Xiong had a clear attitude, so she was not too urgent. However, this was only temporary.

Originally, when Yuanchun married into the palace, Concubine Beijing had some dislike in her heart. However, her husband was affectionate and mostly tried to make peace with her. In addition, Yuanchun's conduct in the world eased the relationship with Concubine Beijing.

There is no movement in the stomach at the moment. As time goes by, even if Shui Xiong is protected by her husband, it will not have much effect. I am afraid that it will be difficult for the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to get along with each other.

And this was one of the reasons why Yuanchun was almost obsessed with Yanmian's heirs. Otherwise, why would the previous mother mention Sister Bao's affairs, and not point her out in disguise.

Mrs. Wang was silent when she heard the words, and she could understand the urging of Princess Beijing in her heart. She sighed softly and said, "Fortunately, the prince is caring."

Mrs. Wang understands the difficulties of getting along with mother-in-law and daughter-in-law best, but as soon as the words come out of her mouth, she suddenly stops. She glances at Jia Mu with a calm expression from the corner of her eye, and feels resentful in her heart.

These words are full of bitterness and deep hatred. Isn't this a way of arranging Jia's mother?

Yuanchun noticed that his mother had said something wrong, so he decisively changed the topic and said, "Where is my aunt? I still have something to discuss with my aunt."

Jia Mu glanced at Mrs. Wang, her eyes were indifferent, and she did not express her dissatisfaction. She snorted in her heart, and for Yuanchun's sake, she stopped arguing with her.

However, listening to Yuanchun's inquiry, Jia's mother became a little confused. What could Yuanchun have to discuss with Aunt Xue? Could it be because of Baoyu?

Turning her eyes slightly, Jia Mu raised her eyes to look at the dignified Yuanchun and asked, "Big girl, what matters do you want to discuss with your aunt and wife?"

Yuanchun had nothing to hide about this. He glanced at Mrs. Wang and said in a quiet tone: "Mother likes Bao Yatou very much and wants Bao Yatou to enter the palace, so I want to discuss it with my aunt."

It's impossible to say that Yuanchun didn't feel a little aggrieved about Baochai entering the palace to serve. It's not that she was jealous or anything, but that Baochai was chosen by her biological mother for Baoyu, and she also quite recognized it. .

I just didn’t expect that my sister-in-law would become a sister instead of becoming a sister-in-law.

Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang were shocked when they heard this. Did Concubine Beijing mean what they thought when she let Bao Yatou enter the palace?

Mrs. Wang frowned and asked hurriedly: "Concubine Beijing wants to recognize Bao Yatou as her goddaughter?"

It is nothing more than that Mrs. Wang would think so, because there are already two examples of Xiangyun and Daiyu. Perhaps it is Mrs. Wang who deliberately avoids the worst result.

Yuan Chun looked at Mrs. Wang who was a little anxious, and understood clearly in her heart. She shook her head lightly and said, "My mother wants Bao Ya to enter the palace to serve the prince."

Mrs. Wang's face turned pale when she heard this, and she couldn't help but feel bitter in her heart. This Bao girl was the one she had taken a liking to for Baoyu. How could she have been chosen by Concubine Beijing? What about her Baoyu? She couldn't really do it. Marry that sick young man!

Jia Mu was silent. She was not satisfied with Baochai. Firstly, Baochai was born in a merchant's family and was not from the right family. Secondly, Jiamu always liked people with straightforward personalities, but Baochai was foolish and clumsy. Being too mellow in dealing with others.

I'm just not satisfied, but I can't deny Baochai's excellence.

What Jia Mu really cares about is her granddaughter Daiyu. However, Daiyu is weak after all, so she still can't make up her mind. She thinks about riding a donkey to find a horse. If Daiyu cannot take care of herself well, then she will settle for the next best thing.

Now that Bao Yatou is favored by the palace, Jia Mu has nothing to say.

After groaning, Jia Mu nodded and said, "I really need to ask my concubine to discuss this matter."
