The boy seemed to have said nothing, yet it seemed as if he had said everything. Everything was implied.
Concubine Beijing felt the burning touch on her face, her heart trembled, her long eyelashes trembled, and her bright eyes were full of shame and anger.
This monkey actually beat her again, thinking she had no temper.
Her beautiful eyes met the young man's determined look, and her heart trembled slightly. She remained silent for a while, and finally smiled.
An enemy is an enemy. Calling her Wan'er makes my heart melt.
Shui Rong's brows relaxed a little, he rubbed the beautiful lady's head and said, "I will talk to the Zhen sisters later, and take them to see Hua'er and her daughter in two days."
Princess Beijing: "."
How could she respond to this monkey now that he was in this state?
With a slight nod, Concubine Beijing said nothing more. This monkey, if she doesn't serve him well, will get angry with her again.
Shui Rong looked at the "well-behaved and docile" appearance of the beauty, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised. Wan'er is a person who likes to pretend. If you are a little more firm, she will be half-hearted.
Of course, Shui Rong understood in his heart that this was because Wan'er had him in her heart. Otherwise, with his domineering attitude, Wan'er would have made a fuss long ago.
This is called being favored and having nothing to fear.
Thinking of this, Shui Rong did not make things too difficult for Wan'er. After avenging the arrow that made him kneel down, he felt relieved and calmed down.
Concubine Beijing pursed her crystal pink lips, her eyes sparkling, and for a moment she felt inexplicably lost. When the young man was unstoppable, her lonely heart was comforted. She gently supported the young man's shoulders with her bare hands and said softly, "When you go to visit Hua'er, find an excuse to let Hua'er bring her daughter to the palace to stay for a few days under the pretext of the Zhen sisters."
In fact, the reason why Concubine Beijing reminded Shui Rong was that she also wanted to meet her granddaughter.
Shui Rong chuckled, leaned over to the beautiful woman's crystal ear, and whispered softly: "If Wan'er likes children, just give me one."
How could Shui Rong not know what the beauty was planning? You have to know that he and Yuanchun were often urged to have children by Concubine Beijing, who even asked Shui Rong to take in concubines for this reason.
Hearing this, Concubine Beijing lowered her eyes and looked at the two people who were so seamless, and said angrily: "What are you talking about? How can I give birth to a child for you?"
The issue of having a child was an irresistible temptation for Concubine Beijing, who had lived in seclusion for a long time. For a moment, she felt guilty.
Concubine Beijing was willing to give birth to a child for Shui Rong, but their status was not allowed by etiquette and law. If they gave birth to the child, it would be a disaster.
Shui Rong understood, thought for a moment, and said softly: "If you are pregnant, find an excuse to give birth to the baby outside, and tell others that the baby was adopted, and no one will say anything."
When Concubine Beijing heard this, her beautiful eyes flickered and she felt her heart beating fast.
How could a woman not want to have a child of her own? Otherwise, she would not be so concerned about the one in Zhen Hua's belly.
After a moment of silence, Concubine Beijing turned her head slightly and said softly, "Hua'er, you should bring her to the palace to stay for a while!"
Shui Rong saw that Concubine Beijing was talking about something else, and he understood the situation in his heart. He did not want to expose the beauty's last fig leaf, and responded, "Well, listen to Wan'er."
Asking the Zhen family to stay in the palace for a few days under the pretext of the Zhen sisters does not seem to be a solution.
When Concubine Beijing saw that the young man agreed, her heart warmed slightly. She stared at the young man who was minding his own business, her charming face flushed. She suppressed her shame and said in a trembling voice, "Find a time to take the sisters from the Zhen family away as soon as possible, so that people won't think too much about them."
The sisters Zhen Xin and Zhen Xue have had no sense of existence since they entered the palace. But since they have entered the palace, they must at least be given an explanation. If they are neglected like this, problems will arise sooner or later.
Shui Rong groaned for a moment and said, "Well, I understand."
The looks of the two sisters of the Zhen family were obvious to all. It was not that Shui Rong intentionally ignored them, but there were simply too many people in the palace who needed him, so he ignored them.
Seeing that the young man showed no hesitation, Concubine Beijing felt angry and amused. She couldn't help but clench her fist, gently hit the young man, and spat, "The Zhen family has four young ladies, and you got three of them. You are so proud of yourself."
This monkey really accepts everyone who comes to him. She had thought that he was not interested in women and was angry about it.
Now it seems that she was just worrying about nothing.
If you think about it carefully, even she, as a mother, feels that this monkey has evil intentions in his heart.
Chapter 417 Shui Rong: The Pretty Widow Who Loves Her Son
Prince Beijing's Palace, a courtyard in the northeast corner.
Inside the side room, the two sisters Zhen Xin and Zhen Xue got up early in the morning to wash and dress themselves. They sat in front of a dressing table inlaid with tortoise shells and painted their eyebrows and eyebrow makeup.
Zhen Xue held an eyebrow pencil in her slender hands, and looked at the beautiful face in the diamond-shaped mirror with her sparkling eyes. Her eyebrows were like light smoke, fresh and elegant. She said, "Third sister, should we take a gift to give to our little niece?"
Shui Rong had previously sent someone to inform them to visit Zhen Hua and her son, which naturally made Zhen Xue happy. After all, Zhen Hua was her biological sister, and her niece was also her biological niece.
Zhen Xin smiled when she heard this and said, "That's how it should be."
In fact, although Zhen Xin and Zhen Xue are sisters, they are only cousins, and she is a concubine's daughter. She knows in her heart that Zhen Hua does not like her, so the relationship between the sisters is not close.
If it weren't for the fact that she and Zhen Xue had not entered the palace together this time, and had not spent time together day and night, their relationship had become closer, they would probably not have had much in common.
For Zhen Xin, visiting Zhen Hua is not important; what is important is Shui Rong’s attitude.
Zhen Xue nodded, and while putting on makeup and dressing up, she was thinking about what gift to give to her little niece.
After working for a while, the two sisters sat on the brocade cushion in their brightly dressed clothes. After waiting for a while, Zhen Xue played with the azure teacup out of boredom and said leisurely, "Third sister, what do you think my cousin means?"
The two sisters originally entered the palace to serve their cousin, but their cousin's cold treatment made the two sisters feel disappointed and resentful.
They sisters are no less beautiful than others, so why does their cousin dislike them? If their cousin disliked them, why did he agree to let them enter the palace?
This time he suddenly took them to visit her second sister, and the change in attitude made Zhen Xue confused.
Zhen Xin was startled when she heard this. She pondered for a moment and said softly, "I'm not sure either. Maybe my cousin cares about the friendship between us sisters!"
To be honest, she was a little confused. She guessed that she felt that she had neglected her sisters, so she did this to make up to them.
It can't be just for my second sister and her daughter!
Zhen Xue was skeptical when she heard this. She held her little face in her hands, her bright eyes flickering slightly under her willow-leaf eyebrows, and that gentle figure appeared in her mind.
The girl had already prepared herself mentally when she first came to Beijing. When she first met her cousin, her heart trembled, but it seemed that the goddess had a dream and the King Xiang was not interested.
At this moment, the maid outside reported: "Ladies, the prince is here."
Hearing this, the two men's eyes lit up and they stood up. When they saw the young man lifting the curtain and entering, they went to greet him and greeted him, "Cousin."
Shui Rong lowered his eyes and looked at the two charming figures in front of him. His pink face was full of youth and liveliness. His eyes moved slightly and he said, "If everything is ready, let's go."
After all, they are sisters, and they have some of the charm of paintings.
Zhen Xin's heart moved. She raised her head and glanced at the calm young man. Her delicate eyes and eyebrows were filled with joy. She nodded and said, "Cousin, we are ready."
My cousin was talking about us before, doesn’t that mean they are a family!
Shui Rong was unaware of his presence. He lowered his eyes to glance at Zhen Xue, whose almond-shaped eyes were slightly narrowed, and asked softly, "Xue'er, what's wrong?"
A slight blush appeared on Zhen Xue's tender face. She raised her head slightly to glance at the boy's gentle face, and a feeling of shyness and joy surged in her heart.
My cousin actually took the initiative to care about her and called her Xueer.
Pursing her pink lips, Zhen Xue said softly, "Nothing, I just wanted to bring a gift for my little niece, but I don't know what to bring."
As she spoke, Zhen Xue raised her eyes to look at the young man, with a hint of expectation between her delicate eyebrows, and asked softly, "Cousin, what gift do you think I should prepare?"
On the side, Zhen Xin glanced at the innocent girl with her beautiful eyes, frowned slightly, and said in her heart: "This girl has clearly prepared a gift, but now she asks her cousin for help. What a good level."
Shui Rong didn't expect Zhen Xue to be thinking about this. He was slightly startled. After a moment of silence, he said, "The gift may be small, but the sentiment is great. Xue'er, you can decide on the gift."
Shui Rong didn't prepare a gift for her own daughter, which seems wrong. Why don't she prepare one for herself?
Zhen Xue blinked and replied, "Yes, I'll listen to my cousin then."
Shui Rong looked at the girl's playful appearance and felt amused. He reached out and stroked the girl's head, saying with a smile, "Well, Xue'er is quite well-behaved."
"Cousin." Zhen Xue lowered her head, her pretty face slightly heated up, two rosy blushes appeared on it, and a hint of shyness surged in her heart.
Her cousin actually touched her head so intimately and praised her for being well-behaved. It seems that her cousin likes well-behaved girls, so she has to be more well-behaved in the future.
When Zhen Xin saw this, her face froze slightly and she couldn't help feeling a little jealous.
It's good for sisters to be sisters, but men should still fight for what they should do. It was obviously her who did it first, so why is her cousin so close to his sister but indifferent to her?
In fact, she is very well-behaved. She will never say no to what her cousin says.
Shui Rong naturally noticed Zhen Xin's strangeness. His eyes moved slightly, and he reached out to hold their hands and said, "Xin'er, Xue'er, let's go."
Since you are going to accept these two people, you should give them some clues. If you turn a blind eye to it, isn't that pushing people to extremes?
Zhen Xin stared blankly at the little hand held by the boy, her heart was extremely happy, a layer of rosy red appeared on her pretty face, and she lowered her head and said "hmm".
It seems that the cousin likes his sister more, but it is enough that the cousin remembers her now. After all, in the past, let alone holding hands, he rarely even called her Xin'er in a friendly manner.
Shui Rong led the two of them out of the house, got on the carriage and headed towards Ningrong Street.
We came all the way to the former Ningguo Duke's Mansion. Because his title had been stripped, the glory was gone and the bustling scene of the past was no longer there. It was now much quieter.
Inside the room, Zhen Hua, who was leaning on the bed, heard the news of the boy's arrival. Her eyes were filled with joy. She stared at the boy who came in through the curtains and said with a little excitement, "Cousin."
She knew that her cousin would come to see her and her daughter, and she was looking forward to it.
Shui Rong stared at the beauty on the couch, whose charming face was somewhat plump. He nodded but said nothing.
At this time, Zhen Xue, who had been following Shui Rong, came over, her pretty face filled with joy. She moved closer and said happily, "Sister, I'm here to see you."
When Zhen Hua saw her own sister, she was slightly startled, then she smiled, took the girl's hand, and said in surprise: "Little sister, why are you here?"
She knew that the girl was in Prince Beijing's Mansion, but she didn't expect that she would come to see her. Could it be her cousin's idea?
As expected, Zhen Xue replied: "My cousin brought us here."
Hearing this, Zhen Hua's heart warmed. She raised her beautiful head and looked at the boy. Her beautiful eyes were as full as water and her heart was as sweet as if she had eaten honey.
My cousin has her in his heart, and it was worth it that I went through so much trouble to give birth to a daughter for him.
At this moment, Zhen Xin stepped forward and said with a smile: "Second sister is happy to have a daughter. I congratulate you."
Zhen Hua looked at Zhen Xin intently, smiled faintly, and said nothing. However, she felt a little annoyed in her heart. What kind of joy is this?
Shui Rong didn't care much about the deep sisterly love. He looked at the beautiful woman on the side. She had black hair tied with pearls and jade, jade hairpins inserted diagonally in her temples, a hundred-flowered shirt on top and a pleated skirt on the bottom. She had a slim figure and a graceful temperament. He asked, "Why is Sister Zhu here?"
That’s right, the gentle beauty in front of him was the pretty widow Li Wan. I didn’t expect her to be here.
Li Wan bowed gracefully, her beautiful face smiling slightly, and said softly, "Hua'er is in confinement, and the old lady is worried about her, so she asked me to come and take care of her."
Because her own son Jia Lan was a tutor to him, Li Wan had gone with Yingchun and her sisters when they stayed at the palace for a while. She had come into contact with the young man several times and was aware of his natural and polite manners, as well as his kindness towards her son. She began to feel a certain fondness for him and was very grateful.
Shui Rong suddenly realized after hearing this. Hua'er would have to stay in confinement after giving birth. Although her title was stripped from her by the Ningguo Mansion, she was still a member of the Jia family. It was reasonable for Grandmother Jia to send someone to take care of her.
As for why Li Wan was asked to come, it was naturally because she had experience. We couldn't just let Feng Jieer, who had no experience at all, come over, that would be a waste of time.
Lying on the bed, Zhen Hua watched the conversation between the two, and looked at Li Wan thoughtfully.
She didn't take it seriously at first, but when she looked at her carefully, she found that Aunt Zhu had an extraordinary appearance and temperament. She even had a more mature charm than her. She was indeed a beautiful person.
