When Yuanchun heard this, he looked at the young man with a pair of beautiful eyes, like the moon hidden in the flowing clouds, looking hazy and passionate.
Royal aristocrats are mostly self-centered. They originally thought that it would be a blessing to be able to treat each other as guests when they get married to the Prince of Beijing. However, the young man's warmth and easy-going make them feel relaxed and comfortable when they get along, more like an ordinary couple. It's intoxicating.
Not long after, the carriage from Beijing Prince's Palace arrived at Yongwang Palace. At this time, the whole palace was enveloped in a festive atmosphere and was extremely lively.
After getting off the carriage in the courtyard, he saw King Yong in a red dress coming to greet him. His face was full of red and he said, "Uncle Sixteen and Aunt Sixteen, you are here."
As soon as the carriage entered the palace, a servant had already reported it, so King Yong came to greet him. Not to mention that Shui Rong was his uncle, but he had something to ask for, and his attitude was naturally sincere.
When Shui Rong saw this, his face was warm, he said a few auspicious words and then remained silent.
King Yong didn't care about this. As long as Shui Rong came in person, that was enough. What's more, coming together with Princess Beijing was enough to give him dignity.
At this time, Zhang Pan'er, who was closely behind King Yong, bowed and said: "I have met Uncle Sixteen and Aunt Sixteen."
Shui Rong's eyes fell on Zhang Pan'er, and she saw that she was wearing a rose red embroidered Luo shirt and a pearl white lake crepe skirt. On her face as white and tender as jade, there were a pair of pear dimples between her cheeks, and she was lightly rouged. Make the cheeks look like a newly opened viburnum, white and rosy.
The strange thing is that the eyes that were originally eager to shine are now slightly dim, and there is a hint of melancholy between the beautiful eyebrows, which makes people feel pity.
After all, she is the nephew's daughter-in-law, so she has nothing to do with Shui Rong. She nodded lightly to show courtesy and said no more. However, Yuan Chun was generous and graceful. She came forward with a smile on her face, held the beauty's hand and talked briefly, looking up. Rather like sisters.
Seeing this, King Yong turned his eyes slightly and said with a smile: "Uncle Sixteen, Uncle Eight and others are here. My nephew will lead you there first."
The eighth uncle is King Zhongshun, but I didn’t expect him to be quite active.
Shui Rong nodded, without saying anything, and followed the Yong Dynasty to the palace, and Yuanchun was led by Zhang Pan'er, the Yong Princess.
Shui Rong and Yong Wang walked side by side on the verandah corridor. They chatted with each other on the way, and Shui Rong also picked up topics from time to time. After a while, they walked to the hall. The hall was decorated with lights and colors, and the gongs were already starting on the stage. The gongs and drums sounded together, and the playing started lively.
At this time, there were several people sitting in front of the lacquered wooden table, all of them were surrounded by flowers. King Zhongshun, King Le, King An, and King Kang were all there, and their eyes were mostly scrutinizing.
After a brief greeting, Shui Rong sat down at a lacquered wooden table, then whispered to King Zhongshun beside him and chatted: "Cousin, you are here early."
Upon hearing this, Prince Zhongshun raised his eyebrows slightly, with a strange look in his eyes, and said helplessly: "The Ministry of Revenue has a lot of troubles. I can leave early if I come earlier. I am not like you in the Governor's Office, who have nothing to do every day after signing in, and are so lazy."
This helpless and sad tone, if it weren't for the instructions from Emperor Yongkang, it would probably just be a gift. In fact, not only Prince Zhongshun, but also Shui Rong felt the same way.
He picked up a bodhi from the table and ate it. Shui Rong said happily: "The household department is the money bag of the imperial court, so it is very important. My cousin is outstanding, so he should bear more responsibilities."
What Shui Rong said is true. The Ministry of Household Affairs is responsible for a series of issues such as land, money, taxes, etc., and the affairs are complicated, while the Dudu Mansion is relatively relaxed, and Shui Rong mostly decentralizes power, so he looks idle.
It’s not that King Zhongshun is holding on to his power. It’s that the Ministry of Revenue is different from the Dudu’s Mansion. The Dudu’s Mansion is an independent government office, and the Dudu’s Mansion can handle many matters on its own. However, the Ministry of Revenue is different. Wherever money is spent in the court, the Hu’s office is required. He is needed to communicate and make decisions, even if he wants to delegate power.
King Zhongshun's mouth twitched slightly when he heard this, and his eyes looking at Shui Rong became more and more evil. What he said had a sense of gloating about others' misfortune, which made people feel uncomfortable.
After looking at it with a hint of probing, King Zhongshun smiled brightly, held the wine cup in his hand, and said leisurely: "You can see clearly."
When Shui Rong heard the words, he sighed slightly. He understood the meaning of King Zhongshun's words. He had a sensitive status and made up his mind to be an idle prince. Who would have thought that Emperor Yongkang had other plans and had no choice but to step in? Chaotang, in charge of military power.
Occupying a high position, he seems to have unlimited glory, but in fact he is walking on thin ice. The matters involved are complicated, and he may have a disobedient heart. Therefore, he only manages part of the martial arts lineage and a part of the world in the governor's palace, and turns a deaf ear to the civil affairs of the court.
At this time, King Le came over with a wine bottle in his hand and said with a smile: "The sixth brother bumped into the sixteenth uncle some time ago. I wanted to let him go to apologize, but it was not easy to disturb. Today, by chance, I took the place of the sixth brother. I’m sorry to Uncle Sixteen, but I hope Uncle Sixteen won’t care about it.”
When Shui Rong heard what was said, it became clear that what An Wang said was nothing more than what happened "in heaven and on earth" that day. At this time, the person involved, An Wang, had not yet mentioned it, but Le Wang singled it out.
This is giving eye drops to the birthday girl, and no one in the hall is worried.
As expected, although the eyes of several people fell on the stage, their minds were focused on the water, especially King Yong who had just sat down, his eyes flickering.
As King Le said, Uncle Sixteen had personal contact with King Le and King An.
King Zhongshun on one side became interested when he heard this. His eyes wandered over Shui Rong and the others, especially at King An. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Shui Ke, what did you do to bump into Xiaoliu?"
When King An heard this, his eyes fell on King Le. He was thoughtful and said with a bitter look on his face: "It's nothing, it's just that I ate too much wine that day and made Uncle Sixteen laugh."
Ridiculous things can be done, but cannot be said.
Smiling, Shui Rong looked past the King of Music in front of him, looked at King An with interest, and said with a smile: "You also know that after eating too much wine, you want to force a dancing girl in front of everyone, and you don't want the royal face. If you do such dishonorable things again, the laws of the clan will make it easier for you."
Now that it has been brought up, Shui Rong has nothing to hide. It is normal for an uncle to teach his nephew a lesson. Even if they all know that the owner of "Heaven and Earth" is the Prince of Beijing County, this matter has long been disclosed to the left and right. Emperor Yongkang reported it, and it was the back door opened by King Zhongshun.
Everyone knew it after hearing this. With the temperament of this Prince An's dandy, it was basically confirmed that he was drunk and crazy in some "guild hall". Moreover, from the words "dancing girl", there was a hint of uncle-nephew quarrel, which made him feel uncomfortable. People find it funny.
However, everyone didn't pay much attention, but they were slightly surprised that the prince of Beijing County, who had always been a gentleman, would actually go to the Fengyue place to compete with others.
Sure enough, all men are romantic types.
When King An heard the scolding, he laughed angrily, hiding his embarrassment, which was completely different from the arrogance of the past.
King Yong glanced at Shui Rong thoughtfully, chuckled, and then sat back down in his seat. After all, in the eyes of powerful people like them, this matter was just a casual joke, and it was enough to achieve their own goals.
After listening to the song for a while, when the time was almost up, King Yong called everyone to start the banquet. For a while, there was a lot of people drinking and drinking, it was so lively, it seemed like a normal birthday party.
During this period, Emperor Yongkang specially sent people to reward him with some birthday gifts, which made King Yong's face glowing red and feeling proud.
As the saying goes, some people are happy and others are sad. King Yong was proud, but King Le had an incomprehensible look on his face, with a hint of anger between his brows.
After thirty years of drinking, Shui Rong's face was slightly tipsy, and his clear eyes were gradually becoming hazy. At this time, King Kang, who had been silent all this time, suddenly asked: "By the way, Eighth Uncle, what do you think about the matter of "spreading a small family into an old family"?"
Although Shui Rong was a little drunk, he was still not blurry. Hearing these words, his eyes fell on King Kang. He was also a handsome young man. His royal genes were not much different. In other words, his royal demeanor made him look luxurious.
More than a month has passed since Emperor Yongkang delegated the policy of "dividing a small family into an area" to be discussed by the cabinet, but there is still no certainty. Asking Emperor Yongkang's intention at this moment is nothing more than to find out the holy will.
King Zhongshun was always a thoughtful person. At this moment, his face was as usual and his eyes were clear. Seeing King Kang asking about this matter, he smiled and said: "How can I know the holy will of brother Huang?"
Shui Rong was noncommittal when he heard the words. As Emperor Yongkang's right-hand man, how could he not understand the holy intention? In the end, he just kept silent.
Not only Shui Rong understood it, but also several others understood it. King Kang saw this and stopped asking any more questions. After all, "divide people into acres" was a new policy, so he was cautious. How could King Zhongshun be stupid enough to reveal his holy will.
At this time, King Yong stood up from his seat, holding a wine bottle in his hand, and walked toward Shuirong with some staggering steps. His face turned red, and his voice was drunk, and he said: "Today is my birthday, what are you talking about?"
Just as he was talking, King Yong suddenly stumbled, and the wine from the wine bottle spilled out, pouring onto Shui Rong's back and soaking his clothes.
Seeing this situation, King Yong hurriedly said: "Uncle Sixteen, my nephew slipped for a moment, I can't help it."
Shui Rong didn't take the "accident" seriously at all. It was just a glass of wine poured over him. He thought he was a little too happy today and had eaten too much wine, so he said, "You are the birthday girl. I can't believe I got you." of joy.”
When King Yong saw Shuirong being so dignified, an undetectable color flashed through his turbid eyes, and he smiled and said: "Uncle Sixteen, if you don't go to the side room first, I'll send someone to inform you and bring you some clothes." So you can change into it.”
Fresh and clean clothes are not only the etiquette that the daughter's family should pay attention to, but also the men, especially the royal children. Since their clothes are soiled, they must change into another one. Otherwise, it is disrespectful to the host's family.
Moreover, my back was soaked, so it was not very comfortable, so I nodded and said, "That's fine, my nephew, please send someone to the carriage to get a change of clothes. I happen to be a little drunk, so I'll take a rest first."
Shui Rong didn't want to stay longer at this scene, so he took advantage of this to take a rest, and when the time was almost up, he took Yuan Chun away.
After saying that, Shui Rong stood up and said a few words to everyone before following the maid towards the side room.
When everyone saw Shui Rong leaving, they didn't say much. However, King Zhongshun was thinking that it was almost time and it was not advisable to stay, so he planned to go back to the Hubu Yamen.
I don't know what the hall is like. As the maid walked to a side room and stepped in, she saw the exquisite furnishings in the room, and the lingering sandalwood smoke lingering on the tables, lingering between the nostrils.
Wrinkling his nose, Shui Rong sent the maid out, sat down on the Arhat bed, and gently rubbed his sore forehead.
After a while, Shui Rong suddenly felt dizzy, a little blush appeared on his slightly drunken face, and his clear eyes became more and more blurry and misty, like a deep pool of invisible spring water.
"It seems that I've had too much wine and my energy has increased. Please be more careful next time."
At this moment, a graceful figure came slowly over. After seeing Shui Rong, her pear-like cheeks froze for a moment, and then she quickly came to her senses. After a graceful bow, she asked softly, "Why are you here, Uncle Sixteen?"
Chapter 278 Princess Yong must not want anyone to know about this.
Her black hair is like a waterfall, her skin is like fat, her beautiful face shows the slight drunkenness after drinking, it is white and rosy, as bright and juicy as a peach pistil, her eyebrows are as light as smoke, fresh and elegant, her apricot eyes are flowing, and the water color is shimmering. , wearing a rose-red embroidered Luo shirt, her beautiful figure is wrapped up, the collar is slightly low, and the snow-white jade neck is glowing with rose-red, which attracts endless reverie.
I don't know how plump and soft it is under that trembling body, I really want to taste it.
Involuntarily, Shui Rong swallowed softly with his slightly dry throat, his eyes turned to the side, and he suddenly felt doubtful in his heart. He was a prince, and there were countless beauties in the palace, including Yuanchun, Keqing, Baochai, Tanchun, and all the maids. Daiyu, Yingchun, Beijing.
Stop it, the more you think about it, the more you think about it.
Having seen so many stunning beauties, it’s as if he has never seen the world and has no determination.
After a moment of silence, Shui Rong sat on the Luohan bed seriously and said softly: "My clothes are dirty, so I came here to change them. How could Princess Yong come to this room?"
Huaxin Beauty met the young man in private, which made Shui Rong think more. Could it be that Jin Lian seduced Wu Erlang?
Bah, what are you thinking about? He is a serious uncle.
Zhang Pan'er lowered her head and clutched the embroidered handkerchief in her hand. Her thoughts were mixed. She knew what was going to happen when she entered this room. Deep in her heart, there was a hint of entanglement.
Pursing her pink lips, Zhang Pan'er raised her charming face and said softly: "This room is a resting place. I came here because my skirt was dirty, so I came here to change it. I don't know what's going on." Uncle Six is also here, so I take the liberty of disturbing you."
When Shui Rong heard this, his eyes fell on the beauty. He saw a water stain on the hem of her pearl white crepe skirt. He knew it immediately. He thought that Zhang Pan'er had accidentally stained the wine like him and came here to replace it. clothes.
As for coming to this house together, I thought this was a place to rest. The maid was sent away, and the people around Shui Rong went to get new clothes. Therefore, there was no one guarding the outside, and he mistakenly thought that no one had broken in.
Just listening to Zhang Pan'er's sweet voice, as sweet as soaked in honey, made people feel more comfortable and relaxed, and couldn't help but make ripples grow in his heart, and the dryness in his throat became clearer.
I don’t know if the beauty will still be so sweet when she cries. I’m afraid it’s so sweet that it’s so boring to my heart.
Well, why are you thinking about something wrong again?
Zhang Pan'er stood at the door of the house, her beautiful eyes saw the strange look in Shui Rong, and her heart trembled slightly. She understood that this was a man's lustful eyes, which contained corrosiveness.
Forget it, the matter has come to this, no matter how pretentious it is, it will have no effect. After what happened today, I am afraid there will be no chance again, and then the servants will humiliate her.
Relatively speaking, Uncle Sixteen had a handsome appearance and a demeanor that showed his charm, which was not an insult to her.
Her nose twitched deeply, and the refreshing sandalwood penetrated into her nose. Her drunken cheeks were unusually pink. She clenched the silk handkerchief in her hand, walked straight to the table, held the teapot in her bare hands, and took a sip. Lip said: "Uncle Sixteen, please change your clothes first, I will go somewhere else."
Hearing this, Shui Rong raised his eyebrows slightly and rubbed his forehead with his hands, feeling a little annoyed. It was him who had said this, but he didn't want his nephew and wife to mention it. It seemed that he was really drunk and a little distracted. In a daze.
But if you think about it carefully, this is the Prince Yong's Mansion. As the host, Zhang Pan'er suggested that it would be more reasonable for her to move to another place. If not, where could Shui Rong go?
"Uncle Sixteen, please drink a cup of tea first to moisten your throat."
While he was thinking about it, he saw a pair of pure white hands holding a porcelain bowl and handed it over, his voice timid and soft.
A short distance away, the refreshing fragrance lingered between the nostrils, making the originally drunk Shui Xiang even more hazy. He looked at the beauty right in front of him. Her beautiful eyes were looking forward to it, her cheeks were smiling, and her skin as white as snow was rosy. The pink color reflected in the Luo shirt is eye-catching.
I really want to take a closer look at how delicate this snow-white skin is, I'm afraid it will turn pink with just a pinch.
Taking the tea cup in a daze, Shui Rong accidentally touched a soft piece of milk. She felt so comfortable all over her body that she couldn't help but want to get closer. For a moment, her energy and blood surged, and she couldn't help but hold the beauty's hand. Great bowl.
The beauty's delicate body trembled, and the tea cup fell down. The tea spilled on the water-soluble clothes without any surprise, but no one paid attention at this time.
Zhang Paner's jade cheeks were red, her eyebrows were trembling, and her eyes that looked forward to Gu Fei revealed a graceful and romantic look, but also seemed to contain an uneasy look, and she said in a trembling voice: "Uncle Sixteen, what are you doing? Quickly let go."
Although I was mentally prepared, when things came to pass, I felt anxious and faintly retreated.
Shui Rong held onto the beauty's bowl without letting go. His mind was focused on the beauty. Seeing her long eyelashes trembling and her posture as timid as a willow swinging in the wind, he suddenly felt pity and wanted to hold the beauty in his arms. In, Haosheng comforts.
It was just this "Uncle Sixteen" that made Shui Rong regain his composure a little.
This is my nephew's wife, how can I mess around with her?
He wanted to let go, but the two of them were very close at this moment. Shui Rong could clearly see the beauty's beautiful face, her gorgeous cheeks were as bright as the clouds, her white neck was also blushing, and there were even a few crystal beads of sweat on it. Along the tender skin, it slowly flows to the deep ravine.
