Pursing her pink lips, Zhang Pan'er looked at the young man with a bright face, her eyebrows trembled slightly, and there was a faint look of expectation in her eyes, and she whispered: "Uncle, if I can't get pregnant, what will I do? "
Shui Rong was heartbroken when he heard this. If he couldn't get pregnant, what should he do?
However, Shui Rong understands what Zhang Pan'er means. Her biggest problem is the persecution of Prince Yong. Prince Yong's palace urgently needs an heir to add leverage. If Zhang Pan'er doesn't grow up, you can imagine the consequences.
Strongly taking the beauty's delicate body into his arms, Shui Rong said proudly: "Then we have a showdown with King Yong. You are mine and no one else can get involved."
It's his business that King Yong likes to wear a high hat, but Shui Rong doesn't like it. He couldn't control what happened to Zhang Pan'er in the past, but now he is his own, how can he let others taint it.
The heirs can still support him, but if the Prince of Beijing will bear a grudge because of this, how can he not understand whether the colored hats on the left and right are worn by King Yong willingly, but he is afraid of a showdown with him.
Zhang Paner's heart was filled with sweetness when she heard this. She leaned her head in the boy's arms and felt peaceful in her heart.
This is his man, not like that useless thing who pushes away his devoted wife for the sake of so-called power. His cold nature is disgusting.
From the warmth she couldn't feel from that person to the warmth she got from her uncle, blessings and misfortunes depended on each other. Without that person's persecution, she would not have done such a thing.
At this moment, the beauty felt less disgusted with that man.
The two cuddled for a moment, then Shui Rong separated from the satisfied Zhang Pan'er, walked along the eaves of the corridor, crossed the gravel path, and arrived at the Taoist palace.
At this moment, in front of the solemn Taoist palace, Concubine Beijing was sitting on a high platform, accompanied by Yuan Chun, Jia Mu, Mrs. Wang, etc., playing drums, gongs, cymbals, and ordering operas in front of the gods. For three consecutive days, all the songs were worth money.
Following the experience last time, Shui Rong was covering her collar tightly now. It was expected that Princess Beijing would not notice anything strange. Even if she noticed something strange, she would most likely think it was Baochai. She was originally the person appointed by the palace. What does it matter.
She originally wanted to sit down next to Concubine Beijing as usual, but when she saw Shui Rong approaching, Concubine Beijing snorted, shifted her body an inch, occupied the soft position, and said in a clear voice: "Weather It’s hot, go sit down below.”
This monkey just wanted to take care of a group of sisters and leave her as a mother. When she came back, she didn't greet her immediately and went to look for her sister. Sure enough, she is old and yellow, and she is not as good as those Sweet sisters, you are really heartless seeds.
Shui Rong's expression was slightly strange, and he stared at Concubine Beijing. He saw that her charming face was somewhat cold, her head was tilted, and her eyes did not even fall on her beloved.
What kind of temper is this? He didn’t offend Concubine Beijing either!
Although she was confused, it was obvious that Princess Beijing was angry. She was so old, she was acting like a little girl, and she was still so inexplicably angry. It was really hard to know what to say.
Treating Concubine Beijing, Shui Xiong Su Lai handled it well. He reached out and took the fan from the hand of the maid standing beside him. Regardless of Concubine Beijing's anger, he squeezed out a seat with a smile. There was a hint of flattery in his voice and said: "Mother , let me give you a fan, kid."
Fan the hot air and also the fire air.
The collision of the bodies caused an imperceptible blush to appear on Princess Beijing's snowy jade cheeks. She secretly spat at this monkey's shamelessness and had a look of disgust on her face.
However, Fang Xin couldn't suppress the joy in her heart. The corners of her tender lips were slightly raised, and there was a smile on her brows.
When Shui Rong saw this, he felt funny in his heart. A little filial piety would soften people's hearts. If he really left, it would most likely make Princess Beijing even more angry. This woman always talks what she means, never mind what she means. It’s not that I listen to her, but if things don’t go my way, I can always find trouble.
A woman's mind does not act according to common sense.
After a small episode, no one noticed that he was there. After all, there could be any intrigue between mother and son.
Princess Beijing glanced at Shui Rong, who was fanning herself enthusiastically. She couldn't help but feel happy. She pursed her pink lips and said casually: "Is it fun to take Girl Yun and the others for an outing in the mountains today?"
Shui Rong was heartbroken when he heard this, and instantly understood why this considerate stepmother was angry. It was because she was focusing on one thing and not the other, which made Princess Beijing feel that her good son was thinking wildly.
This fragile widow's heart is really speechless.
Thinking about this, Shui Rong said with a clear expression, "Just walking around with them."
It's true, indeed, when walking around, they usually go together, and Shui Rong is just a guard at best.
Hearing this, Princess Beijing let out a soft "hum". Although her voice was extremely low, Shui Rong sat down next to Princess Beijing and naturally heard it, leaving Shui Rong silent and pretending not to hear.
If this layer of skin is exposed, I'm afraid the water will be driven away.
At this time, Jia Mu looked hesitant for a moment, and suddenly said: "Concubine, Prince, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming. The two girls have also lived in the Prince's Mansion for a long time, and it is time to go home."
It would not be a problem for a group of girls from the Jia family to stay at their brother-in-law's house for a few days, but if they stayed for a long time, not to mention it would be a little bad for their reputation, but her lively Duke's Mansion would become deserted, which was very unpleasant.
Besides, since my precious grandson is unhappy, it’s time for Er Yatou, Lin Yatou and the others to return to the Duke of Rongguo’s mansion.
Yuan Chun was silent when she heard this. She was from the royal palace, but Rongguo's palace was her natal family. If she was not careful, both sides would be unhappy. I guess this was the reason why Jia's mother mentioned it without telling her.
Mrs. Wang's expression was indifferent, but she didn't care in her heart. She didn't want the second girl and the others to come back and disturb her Qilin'er, especially the sick Yangzi, and make Baoyu angry.
It's just that it's not her who makes the decision, and it's not her turn to speak out.
Concubine Beijing frowned when she heard this, feeling a little dissatisfied. Although she was angry with Shui Rong for clinging to a group of sisters, she was only targeting Shui Rong for his lack of conscience. She would not be angry with them because of this, but because of those sisters. They were in the palace, which made the palace lively. If they were suddenly allowed to leave, wouldn't it become deserted again?
Although she felt reluctant to give up, what Jia Mu said was reasonable. The Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching and it was the day of reunion. How could she detain a girl from the Jia family?
Hey, after all, the palace has become a little deserted, and it’s also because Yuanchun is a useless princess. It’s been nearly a year since she married into the palace, and she can’t even see an egg.
Shui Rong understands what Concubine Beijing means, but he also knows that Jia Mu’s words are reasonable. To be honest, Shui Rong is a little bit reluctant to let go, especially Daiyu. When he hates you, his teeth itch with hatred, but if the person is gone, it is really missing. some meaning.
To put it into detail, it's a bit cynical.
However, girls from the Jia family are still girls from the Jia family, and they will eventually go back to the Jia family. Although Daiyu is not a girl from the Jia family, she is staying with the Jia family, so logically speaking, she can be considered a girl from the Jia family.
Even though Daiyu has the reputation of being a sister-in-law, she still does it. Moreover, with Jia Mu's love for Daiyu, she will definitely not let her go. Forcing her to stay will have the opposite effect.
My sister, I always hope she can be happy.
Thinking about this, Shui Rong nodded and said, "I was thinking about letting my sisters go back to the Duke's mansion after I get back."
Jia Mu felt relieved when she heard this. Considering the marriage relationship between Prince Beijing's Palace and Duke Rongguo's Palace, she couldn't force it, lest it involve Yuan Chun, the principal concubine.
Now that we have Shui Rong's words, there is no need to worry.
Chapter 296 Return home
The third day of the ritual ceremony at Qingxu Temple.
On what was probably the last day, Chai Dai and his party walked into the solemn palace. They knelt on the futons under the niche table one by one, clasped their hands together, and prayed devoutly.
Shui Rong was standing in the hall, but he didn't come forward, but he started to pray in his heart, or in other words, declared that he hoped that the days would be as leisurely as they are now, and that nothing would happen on the way.
But being in the whirlpool of power, many things cannot be controlled by one's own control. Even though the Beijing Palace has a transcendent status, it is still unavoidable to be affected. However, Shui Rong is determined. If anyone dares to destroy this comfort, don't blame him for being cruel. He is the King of Heaven. I am no exception.
If you don’t even care about your life, you just want to be comfortable.
Due to his gaze, Shui Rong saw Daiyu's figure. She was wearing a moon-white long skirt and a green forged printed collared vest. She had an elegant beauty. However, at this moment, the girl was praying devoutly, and there was a vague feeling of desolation in her rickety back. wind.
Daiyu prayed for a long time before she could stand up. Shui Rong looked at the girl's delicate jade face, and the bright eyes under her smoky eyebrows showed a bit of sadness, adding a bit of lovable weakness.
"What did you ask for just now?"
When Daiyu lowered her eyes and came closer, Shui Rong suddenly asked softly.
Hearing this, Daiyu raised her fair face and looked at the young man. That jade-like face was filled with concern, which made the young girl feel strange and warm.
Her soft eyebrows were raised slightly, her willow eyes flickered at the young man, and she said playfully: "Brother thinks my sister is asking for something."
Shui Rong didn't expect Daiyu to ask him back. She showed a girlish liveliness and youthfulness, and laughed softly: "Ask God and worship Buddha. What you ask for is probably what you want in your heart. I don't know about others, but if it's Mei'er, "
After saying that, Shui Rong paused for a moment, looked at the girl's eyes like misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, and teased: "Isn't it because you are seeking marriage?"
Daiyu's heart skipped a beat when she heard this, her fair cheeks were dyed pink, her beautiful eyes stared at the young man, her eyebrows were raised like the drizzle on a spring mountain, and she spat: "My brother's words are so unreasonable."
How could she, a little girl, seek marriage? This bad brother was clearly playing a trick on her.
After saying that, Daiyu looked around and saw that the other sisters were concentrating on praying and did not notice what her brother said to her. Her heart relaxed slightly. If the sisters heard it, they would inevitably laugh at her.
At this moment, the girl was feeling ashamed and resentful towards someone. She wanted to hit him with her little pink fist if he offended him.
But the warmth in Dai Yufang's heart became gentler. She had been praying in front of the clay statue for her father who was far away in Yangzhou, and she was inevitably sad. However, after being teased by the young man, the sadness of missing her family was diluted a lot.
Only her brother noticed her emotions. It must be said that this brother really loved her and had the style of a caring brother.
Shui Rong saw the girl's annoyance and panic like a frightened rabbit. The corners of his mouth raised slightly, and Zhanran said: "I am an elder brother. It is normal to care about my sister's marriage. How can I not be serious?"
A brother is like a father. As Daiyu's godbrother, Shui Rong is also qualified to discuss Daiyu's marriage. Because of his status, to a certain extent, he has more decision-making power than Jia's mother.
Talking about Daiyu's marriage, Shui Rong's peripheral vision couldn't help but glance at Baoyu, who was chatting with Xiangyun and praying to God. They were childhood sweethearts, plus the grace of irrigating the crimson pearl fairy grass in the previous life. The kindness added together, thinking about Daiyu's love for Baoyu. Very emotional.
Thinking of this, Shui Rong felt inexplicably irritated in his heart. Such a beautiful and fairy-like daughter was so cheap with such a big face.
Probably a little hot-eyed.
As the legitimate daughter of Daiyu Houmen, Baoyu is not worthy of being the second wife of the Duke's Mansion. Baoyu is just enjoying the glory of Jia Mu's favor, and she really has a sense of immediacy like a big cabbage that makes a pig fall for her.
Furthermore, Baoyu is irresponsible and has no independent opinion. Although he takes special care of his daughter's family, as he said, a daughter who has been married is like a "dead fish eyeball."
In short, Baoyu is immature and likes delicate, young and beautiful girls. Daiyu is weak and charming at the moment, but once she becomes a woman...
It is said that only the new ones smile, but the old ones don't cry. Whether Daiyu who has become a "dead fish eyeball" can still be cherished by Baoyu has not yet been said.
The most important thing is the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. Yuanchun was disliked by Princess Beijing because of her age, and there was a lot of friction during the period. Not to mention that Mrs. Wang was extremely disliked by Daiyu. She really wanted to marry Baoyu. These days I'm afraid it won't be easy.
Having said that, who made Daiyu "fall in love" with Baoyu? Shui Rong felt pity for Daiyu, and his forced intervention was probably ordinary in the original work, which made the sensitive Daiyu shed tears and die.
That's all, everything is as Daiyu pleases, and with his brother protecting her, everything will be safe and smooth.
When Daiyu heard this, her heart throbbed inexplicably, and she felt warmth flowing across her face.
It is natural for the brother to care about his sister's marriage, but he is too shy to do so.
With her bare hands gently circling a strand of green silk on her temples, Daiyu's bright eyes flashed and she asked softly: "Brother, don't you have what you want in your heart?"
Shui Rong looked at Daiyu quietly and understood that this girl who looked like a forest elf was shy and changed the subject. She chuckled and said, "Everyone in the world has wishes, so naturally I also want something."
Everyone has desires, whether for power, wealth or love. Even those who claim to be outsiders are not only seeking immortality and attaining the Tao, but Shui Rong, as a layman, has ordinary desires.
Daiyu blinked when she heard this, with a hint of curiosity in her eyebrows, and asked in a clear voice: "What do you want, brother?"
I wonder if I can do my part to repay my brother's love and care.
Shui Rong said seriously: "First, I want peace and prosperity for the country and the people, and second, I want peace and prosperity..."
"Pfft..."
Daiyu couldn't help but laugh out loud. Her beautiful eyes rolled around and she gave the boy an angry look. She held up her embroidered handkerchief and spat: "My brother and I were talking seriously, but he used words to coax me."
"The country is peaceful and the people are safe", this is a grand vision, but when paired with the young man's "seriousness", it seems extremely inconsistent, and most likely he is just making fun of her.
On the contrary, it was safe and smooth and somewhat believable.
This delicate laughter, like gold beads falling on a jade plate, attracted everyone's attention.
When Baoyu saw Daiyu's bright smile, he felt a little uncomfortable. He came closer and said, "What are my brother-in-law and sister talking about? Why are they so happy?"
Daiyu glanced at Baoyu with her beautiful eyes and let out a soft "hum", with a hint of disgust in her bright eyes like mist.
When she was asking her brother something, he interrupted her, making it difficult to ask her questions now, and she felt a little inexplicably sullen.
When Baoyu saw Daiyu's eyes, her face became as bitter as the Mid-Autumn Moon, and a touch of sadness filled her heart.
My sister started to dislike me.
