The King of Beijing in the Red Mansion

I just felt a little embarrassed thinking that the bride was not talkative.

Tanchun understood what was going on and stepped forward politely, "Sister Yingluo, the princess just ate some cakes and isn't hungry."

When Yuanchun saw Tanchun step forward, she felt relieved for a moment. Her grandmother and others had made the right choice by asking Tanchun to come as a dowry maid. However, she was really hungry.

Yingluo knew the princess's concerns, so she hurriedly said to Tanchun, "Miss, the prince is always easy-going and doesn't care about such things, otherwise he wouldn't have asked me to bring you food. If the prince comes later and knows that the princess is hungry, he will be heartbroken."

When Yuanchun heard Yingluo's words that the prince felt distressed, her face turned red and she felt extremely sweet in her heart.

Seeing that Yuanchun did not reply, Tanchun continued to decline politely and even changed the subject to ask about the prince's temperament.

Yuanchun sat quietly and listened, and she admired Tanchun's intelligence more and more in her heart. With this sister's help, she would not feel so alone in the future.

After a while, Tanchun's eyes lit up slightly, and she suddenly asked, "Sister Yingluo, by the way, I heard that there is a Miss Qin in the palace. Do you know her?"

Miss Qin in the prince's palace is the main reason why Tanchun came as a dowry. As for her, Tanchun has only heard of her name but never knows her, so she wants to find out something from the prince's personal maid so that she can make plans early.

When Yuanchun heard the name of Miss Qin, she unconsciously crossed her legs. She knew that Miss Qin was the apple of the prince's eye. She wondered what kind of person she was that could make her be so favored by her husband. She could be kind to a concubine, but if she doted on her too much, she would always feel uncomfortable.

Yingluo was unaware of his presence. She knew that the person in front of her was the princess's sister, the prince's concubine, and the owner of the palace, so she answered every question: "Yes, Third Miss, I know that Miss Qin is the prince's concubine."

In the palace, Qin Keqing was positioned as Shui Rong's concubine, and Yingluo was no exception.

Tanchun smiled and asked, "I wonder what kind of person Miss Qin is to be favored by the prince."

Yingluo said with great joy: "That Miss Qin is well behaved, and everyone in the mansion likes her. She is also very pretty. I don't know how to describe her. Even when I see her, my legs go weak!"

Tanchun couldn't help but raise her eyebrows when she heard this. It would make any girl's legs go weak when she saw this. How handsome that boy must be? Could he be a fairy from heaven?

Yingluo couldn't describe Keqing's appearance for a moment, but suddenly an idea flashed in her mind, and she pushed Xiangling out and said in a clear voice: "Xiangling is a little worse than Miss Qin, but she is also about 70% similar."

Upon hearing this, Tanchun looked at Xiangling in surprise. This well-groomed girl looked about 70% like Miss Qin. Tanchun was already aware of how charming and graceful Miss Qin was.

This man is handsome and has a good appearance. He is also loved by the people in the mansion. If Miss Qin develops thoughts that she shouldn't have, wouldn't it be a great rival?

Chapter 90 Keqing: I will grind it carefully

It was three quarters past midnight and the sky had already darkened. On the high table, under the double happiness character, two red candles were burning high.

Yuanchun was still sitting on the embroidered couch, not moving.

Da da..."

At this moment, footsteps were heard from outside the house. Yingluo paused and said excitedly, "The prince is here."

Yuanchun, who was sitting upright on the embroidered couch, suddenly became nervous. Her hands folded in front of her belly couldn't help but clench her wedding dress, and her heart became a little excited.

Not long after, Shui Rong walked into the room with a slightly tipsy look on his face. Seeing that everyone was there and the food on the high table was untouched, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and said, "Yingluo, what are you doing? Didn't I ask you to wait on the princess and eat first?"

Yingluo felt aggrieved when she heard this. They came to deliver food, but the princess didn't want to eat. What could she, a servant, do?

At this time, Tanchun stepped forward and whispered, "Your Highness, this is not Sister Yingluo's fault. Sister Yingluo ate some cakes and is not hungry."

Shui Rong looked at Tanchun. Although Tanchun did not wear a bright red wedding dress today, she was also dressed up carefully. She wore a round-necked robe with light blue chrysanthemum branches embroidered with gold trim. She looked quite good. Her elegant face was painted with light plum blossom makeup. The originally beautiful face seemed to have lost its childishness, revealing a hint of charm. With her handsome eyes and thin eyebrows, she was quite alluring.

"Third sister, since we have entered the palace, we are a family. There is no need to be so polite."

Upon hearing this, Tanchun's cheeks became slightly drunk, and her pretty eyes looked around with a lively look. What the prince said... seemed to be correct.

Shui Rong chuckled upon seeing this. He was not only saying this to Tanchun, but also to Yuanchun.

Shui Rong immediately looked at Ying Luo and said, "Serve the princess attentively in the future and go heat up the food."

Earlier, he asked Yingluo and Xiangling to come over because he was considerate of Yuanchun's hunger and also to curry favor with Yuanchun. Now that they were getting along well, he didn't say anything more.

Upon hearing this, Yingluo and Xiangling took the food boxes to the kitchen to heat up the food.

Shui Rong walked up to Yuanchun, looked at her trembling body, and knew that she was nervous, so he took the wedding scale handed over by the matchmaker without any hesitation and lifted the red veil.

Yuanchun was seen wearing a red wedding gown that set off her peach-like face. Her jade-like face was neat and fair, as rosy as flowers in the spring morning. Her hair was as sharp as a knife, her eyebrows were as black as ink paintings, her eyes were flashing with brilliant light, she had red lips, white teeth, and her fair skin was as bright as moonlight.

When Yuanchun saw Shui Rong staring at her, her heart trembled, her plump face became unusually pink, her curved eyelashes trembled, she tilted her head slightly, and her eyebrows drooped.

Shui Rong raised the corner of her mouth when she saw this. The shyness of a girl is the most touching.

Then, the bridesmaid served the wedding wine, and after the ceremony, she was given a big red envelope and sent away.

After the bridesmaid left, Shui Rong took Yuanchun's hand, which was as white as mutton fat jade, and led her to the high table. He said in a gentle voice, "Well, now that everyone else has left, don't be so reserved. The food has been heated up. Have some snacks first."

Yuanchun felt the warmth in his hand, and her heart tightened involuntarily. Her plump face turned pink, and her almond eyes were filled with shyness. She said softly, "My husband, I'm not hungry..."

Upon hearing this, Shui Rong looked at the shy beauty beside him. He reached out his hand and gently lifted her chin. He saw Yuanchun's pretty face, her eyelashes trembling, her red lips slightly open, and she was breathing softly.

"Madam, are you in a hurry to have your wedding night?"

Yuanchun's rosy face turned red when she heard that. She knew that was what the prince meant. Could it be that she was actively seeking pleasure from the prince?

Thinking of this, Yuanchun became anxious and hurriedly explained: "I am not... not..."

The words came to Yuanchun's lips, but she couldn't say anything. What could she say? Today was her wedding day, what else could she do if she didn't have a bridal chamber so late at night?

Seeing that the beauty was getting anxious, Shui Rong said, "My wife, I am just joking. Come, sit down and have some snacks first."

Yuanchun realized that the prince was joking, and she felt relieved. As soon as she sat down, the prince handed her some snacks. For a moment, Yuanchun's heart was beating fast. Her husband was really considerate.

Yuanchun couldn't help but take the dessert and sip it. A sweet taste flowed from her lips to her heart.

Shui Rong saw Yuanchun sipping snacks without saying much. He turned his eyes to Tanchun and said, "Third sister, please sit down and eat something too!"

Tanchun's heart was slightly moved when she heard this. Although as a dowry girl, she did not need to follow the rules like her elder sister, but if her elder sister did not eat, how could she, the younger sister, eat? So she also stayed hungry.

However, it was the wedding day of the prince and his elder sister, so she could not sit at the same table with them, so she replied, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am not hungry."

Yuanchun glanced at Tanchun with her beautiful eyes. She had long known that the prince loved her third sister very much, so she said softly, "Third sister, you have been with me for the whole day, and you must listen to the prince and sit down and have a rest!"

Seeing that the prince and her elder sister had spoken, Tanchun did not hesitate and sat down calmly.

Shui Rong looked at Yuanchun, and felt more and more satisfied with her magnanimity. After handing a piece of cake to Tanchun, Tanchun held the cake in her hands, and looked at Shui Rong with her beautiful eyes, feeling sweet in her heart.

Prince Beijing’s Palace, warm room in the suite.

Keqing leaned against the carved window, listening to the noise outside the courtyard. Her pretty face showed a hint of sadness, and her heart was filled with inexplicable sadness.

When Shuangjiang saw the girl's sad face, he had a rough guess in his mind. Today was the prince's wedding, but his girl could only watch in the house. Who wouldn't have some thoughts in her mind?

However, even if Shuangjiang wanted to comfort her, she didn't know what to say at this time, so she stepped forward and said, "Miss, it's getting late, do you want me to fetch water for you to wash up?"

Keqing did not answer. She held her beautiful face in her hands and said with a somewhat melancholy tone, "Shuangjiang, do you think the prince will not come to my place after his wedding?"

Since arriving at the palace, Shuangjiang has been serving beside him. Over the past half year, they have naturally developed feelings for each other, and he would talk to Shuangjiang about things in his heart.

Shuangjiang came to his senses after hearing what she said and couldn't help but ask, "Miss, are you worried that the prince will get tired of the old and fall in love with the new?"

Keqing didn't notice him, and asked angrily, "What else?"

Keqing was well aware of her own status and would never dare to have any improper thoughts. What she was worried about now was that the prince would get tired of her now that he had a princess. As the saying goes, "You only see the new people laughing, but not the old ones crying."

Frost looked at Keqing's charming face and graceful figure, and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily. His girl had enough money, so what was she worried about?

As Keqing's maid, don't think that she doesn't know how many times the prince and the young lady have served her. Every time she saw the prince, she was refreshed. How could she be tired of him?

Thinking of this, Shuangjiang's face turned red. She really didn't dare to recall that scene.

Just when Shuangjiang was trying to comfort Keqing, she seemed to have thought of something and said hesitantly, "I heard that the princess, apart from her sister who came with the dowry, has several maids around her who are all very beautiful, dazzling and eye-catching. It's really possible that the prince will get tired of them and go for something new."

The princess was always covered with red silk, so naturally no one could see her true face, but those who came with her as a dowry knew it.

Keqing's heart tightened when she heard this, and she frowned her beautiful eyebrows, and said suspiciously: "The princess was born in the Duke's Mansion, so it is normal for her to have more dowry with her."

Although she was not born into a high-class family, she knew something about the practices among these wealthy families.

Shuangjiang groaned, thought for a moment, and then approached and whispered, "Miss, I have something to say to you from the bottom of my heart. In these wealthy families, dowry is to tie the master down. The princess is accompanied by so many beautiful maidens. It is obvious that she is well prepared. You should be more careful."

Although the other party is the princess, Shuangjiang is a maid beside Keqing. She gets along with Keqing like a sister, and she doesn't want Keqing to suffer any loss.

As an elder in the palace, Shuangjiang knew how the Dowager Concubine Beijing dealt with the concubines who lost the favor of the old Prince Beijing. It was possible that the princess who entered the palace had the same plan, so it was necessary to remind the girl.

Keqing felt that Shuangjiang's words were a bit scary, and her heart became confused. She asked hurriedly, "Then what should I do?"

Shuangjiang thought for a moment and reminded her, "You are already beautiful, much better than those beautiful girls. The prince should not be tired of you. Besides, don't you have a book given by the imperial concubine? As long as you have more tricks, the prince will like you!"

As Keqing listened to what Shuangjiang was saying, her charming face became even more beautiful. She looked at Shuangjiang with a pair of beautiful eyes in a reproachful manner. This girl really dared to say anything.

But after thinking about it carefully, Keqing felt that it made sense. In the past, she used different ways to serve the prince, and the prince was always very energetic, which showed its effectiveness.

After a pause, Keqing turned her head and whispered, "Then go get the book and I'll grind it carefully."

Chapter 91 Shui Rong: Mother-in-law underestimates him

Inside the new house.

Yingluo and Xiangling put the hot food on the table. Seeing Yuanchun's starry eyes and lips pursed, her white jade neck slightly rolling, Shuirong couldn't help but smile and said, "Yuanchun, let's eat first!"

Yuanchun realized that she had lost her composure and felt a little shy, but the prince's gentle voice made her feel much more at ease. Seeing that the food was served, she no longer refused and ate the food in small bites with the help of a pretty maid with double buns.

Shui Rong didn't say much when he saw this, but called Tanchun to have dinner with him. Tanchun didn't refuse and also enjoyed the meal in small bites.

"Yingluo, go get a pair of bowls and chopsticks."

Seeing the two beauties eating quietly actually aroused Shui Rong's appetite. After all, he was entertaining guests in the front hall and drank a lot of wine, so he had no time to eat.

The groom is busy after a wedding, everyone who understands will understand.

Seeing this, Yuanchun and Tanchun stopped and sat quietly.

Shui Rong smiled silently. He knew exactly what they were doing. They were just waiting for him, their master, to have his meal first.

"Yuanchun, Third Sister, eat your food. We are all family now, no need to be polite."

Now that the two sisters of the Jia family have entered the palace, the eldest sister Yuanchun will have to tie her long black hair into a bun tomorrow, and it will be only a matter of time for Tanchun to follow suit. Naturally, they are one family.

Yuanchun's plump face was slightly drunk when she heard this. She lowered her eyes and said, "My lord...my husband has not even started eating yet, how can I go beyond the rules?"

Yuanchun was not yet familiar with the term "husband" and made a slip of the tongue.

Shui Rong didn't care, but it was not a good thing for a wife to be polite in front of her husband, especially when they were playing the zither, which was quite monotonous. So Shui Rong explained in a gentle voice: "Yuanchun, since you and Third Sister have entered the palace, you are a family to me. Family members should be more casual and closer. There is no need to care about these details."

For Shui Rong, outsiders are outsiders and family members are family members, and there is really no need to treat them equally.

Yuanchun and Tanchun felt happy when they heard Shui Rong's intimate words. They did not doubt that Shui Rong was just being polite, because Shui Rong was always like that, making people feel like they were in the spring breeze.

Seeing this, Yuanchun stopped being stubborn. Besides, what her husband said made sense. She enjoyed the feeling of being at home without being too restrained.

Watching the beauty continue to eat, Shui Rong nodded slightly, pondered for a moment, and ordered: "Xiangling, go get a pot of Huiquan wine."
