Yurun Bingyan of the Red Chamber

Chapter 52

Yuan Chun's expression darkened for Shui Hanxing's obvious behavior of not giving himself face, but he also knew that the Xining Palace is now the object they are trying to win over, so he quickly recovered his smile and said: "The Princess's rules are learned very well. " Shui Hanxing pulled Daiyu to sit down in Mrs. Wang's seat, took the seat vacated by Mrs. Xing himself and smiled, "You don't need to learn this. Those of us in the royal family have been used to it since we were young. Up and down How can you not distinguish between superior and inferior?" Yuan Chun's smile was a little stiff, and he said: "The princess is absolutely right."

Everyone is silent.Baoyu looked at Daiyu and then at Han Xing who was sitting beside him, frowning.He didn't understand why sister Lin came with this pungent woman.Sister Lin is such a gentle person, how can she seem to have a good relationship with this woman?Shui Hanxing was talking to Daiyu in a low voice, when he raised his head, he met Baoyu's disgusted eyes, and couldn't help being amused.Smiling maliciously at Baoyu, he turned to Yuanchun and said with a smile, "Young concubine, just now the princess is still discussing with Princess Yan about sending the county horse to the Yingjun barracks for training." Yuanchen frowned. Looking at Baoyu's handsome appearance, how does he look like those rough people rolling around in the barracks? "Eagle Army?"

Shui Hanxing nodded and smiled, "That's right, the Eagle Army is the most elite army in the Qinglong Dynasty. The county horses go to practice, if they can earn some military merits, they will be more confident in inheriting the title of Duke Rong in the future. Not only Is the Princess of the County, the Xining Palace, and the imperial concubine empress also proud?" Military merit is naturally what everyone wants, but it is not so easy to earn.Huangfu Bingyan has gone all the way from a mere commoner to today's prince who even the four counties' palaces have to retreat by three points.But in the past hundred years of the Qinglong Dynasty, there has only been one Huangfu Bingyan.After thinking for a while, Yuan Chun smiled and said, "Baoyu has been studying literature since he was a child, and he will have to take the imperial examination in the future. If we win the number one scholar, we will have a bright face. There is no need to go to the military camp." Shui Hanxing said contemptuously: " Useless is a scholar, a man should naturally gallop on the battlefield, shrouded in horse leather. What's the matter with hiding in the boudoir every day?"

Yuan Chun smiled and said: "The princess is wrong. Military generals have the skills of military generals, and literati also have the usefulness of literati. Sister Lin's family has never had a military general. Isn't it also a king and a marquis, and has been prominent for generations?"

Shui Hanxing said with a smile: "Isn't the imperial concubine reading history books? The princess clearly remembers that although the first Anqin county king was a scholar, he also followed the emperor Taizu to fight in all directions, and he is proficient in bow and horse." Having a seizure, he had to pull Baoyu and say, "Baoyu loved poetry and books since childhood, so naturally he will be a civil servant in the future." Baoyu frowned and said, "Big sister, Baoyu doesn't want to take any imperial examinations." Yuan Chun was taken aback, puzzled Dao: "Why?" Baoyu said: "Those who are officials are really boring. They only know how to make money every day and fight for fame and fortune. There is no elegance of a scholar." Shui Hanxing laughed and said: " According to this, the county horse is really ready to fight on the battlefield?" That tone was full of irony.Baoyu glared at him and said: "It's the behavior of a reckless man to fight and kill. We sisters recite poems and paint pictures every day in one place. A rude person like you can't know the elegance of playing chess and reading." Han Xing blinked, and finally looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, "Hehehe... This is the ideal of the county horse. This princess really knows it..."

Yuan Chun heard her talking more and more shameless, and Baoyu frowned impatiently seeing that she was about to jump up and argue with her.I just feel a little pain in my stomach.She waved her hand and said, "That's enough, you two want to quarrel and turn around and quarrel on your own." Jia Mu also quickly said, "That's exactly it, I'm afraid the banquet ahead is ready, so please move your mother. "The Jia family put in a lot of effort for concubine Yuan's courtship this time, and even sent people to Jiangnan to buy some maids and actors, and prepared some programs.Yuan Chun nodded and said, "Let's go there now."

Just as Yuan Chun stood up holding the hand holding the piano, he heard another announcement coming from outside the door, "His Royal Highness is here! The Prince of Anqin is here!"

Mo Yu and Mo Han came in side by side, Mo Yu smiled rarely in Jia's house, stepped forward to salute Concubine Yuan Gui in a gentle and elegant manner, "See the imperial concubine empress." After hearing Yuan Chun's call, she stood neatly by the side with a smile on her face Looking at Mohan and Yuanchun.Mohan smiled brightly, "I have seen the concubine Yuan." Wearing bright yellow brocade clothes, he just nodded slightly, showing the crown prince's dignity.Feeling the staring eyes of Shuihanxing Moyu beside him, Yuan Chun could only grit his teeth and stepped forward, "I dare not, I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince!" His biological mother was not the Empress Yuan, and he didn't have to worship her.But Yuanchun can't do it. The imperial concubine said it nicely, but she is actually the prince's father's concubine. Without the emperor's amnesty, she had to salute when she saw the prince.

Yuan Chun had a nearly eight-month-old stomach, and bowed down with some difficulty.Because he was supported by the qin and the maid beside him, he didn't feel very uncomfortable physically, but Yuan Chun, who was just aloof in front of all the female family members of Jia's family in this hall, saluted a ten-year-old boy at this time, Yuan Chun's heart Uncomfortable is more important than physical.Mo Han still had a pleasant smile, and raised his hand and said, "Your concubine, please forgive me, you are still pregnant, please don't tire my little sister."

Yuan Chun gritted his teeth, "Thank you, Prince, for your concern!" Even though several imperial physicians said that her child was likely to be a prince, this prince would call out to his younger sister every time they met, and Yuan Chun was so angry that he almost wanted to vomit blood.I want to give birth to a prince to show you!It seemed that he could see what Yuan Chun was thinking.Mo Han rubbed his nose and stood next to Mo Yu: Are you giving birth to a prince or a princess?

"We are about to go forward? Would the crown prince wish to go together?" Yuan Chun asked, in fact, she wished that the crown prince could go as far as he could.Mo Han smiled very innocently, looking at Daiyu and then at Moyu, said with a smile: "Then I will disturb the imperial concubine and Jia's family. And... the emperor ordered me to tell the empress that the palace rules cannot be broken. Please be sure to return to the palace before the palace gate is locked, so that the father will not worry about the imperial concubine and the younger sister." Yuan Chun returned to Jia's house at nearly noon, and it took a lot of time to meet some people inside and outside Jia's house.In fact, if she wanted to rush back before the palace door was locked, she would only be able to attend half of the dinner before she could afford to drive back to the palace.But when he thought of what Mohan said about the emperor worrying about him, he felt that it was okay to work a little harder.Mo Yu, who was standing aside, cast a glance at Concubine Yuan Gui's expression, then lowered her head expressionlessly: Is Concubine Yuan Gui out of her mind?Even if the emperor was really worried about her, how could Mohan tell her?If he were her, he wouldn't believe a word that Mohan said.

So, all the people present surrounded Concubine Yuan Gui with different expressions and walked towards the dinner party.It really was very lively over there, on the stage, the troupe who was in a good mood was singing, and under the stage, people also cast their envious eyes on the noble concubine and everyone in the Jia family who were on the main seat.Both Mo Han and Mo Yu are masters who hate socializing. When Jia Mu just turned around and ordered Jia Lian to arrange seats for His Royal Highness and the Prince of Anqin County, Mo Yu said softly in front of Dai Yu, "Brother-in-law, talk for a while." Come to pick you up", pulled Mohan and disappeared behind a certain rockery.At the banquet, cups and cups are exchanged.The people who came to the banquet looked at the noble concubine in the high seat, as well as the princess of the Xining Palace, the princess of the Yan Palace, and it is said that there is also the future Anqin County King, and vaguely felt that the Rongguo Mansion seemed to be prosperous.Many people were thinking in their hearts whether they should make friends with the Jia family when they turned around. If Concubine Yuan Gui had a prince in her stomach, she would still be a prince even if she didn't reach the ninth or fifth position in the future.The prince's grandfather, Prime Minister Liu's family has always been strict in family style and not easy to socialize with.The other princes, mothers and concubines are not favored, and they have no power behind them. Since they can't be the Liu family's cronies, it's good to be able to win the Jia family.And if you're lucky, it's not impossible for you to be successful in the future.At the dinner party, everyone had different thoughts and emotions.Sitting beside Shui Hanxing, Daiyu glanced lightly at the people around her, with a faint smile on her lips.

Seeing the expressions of the guests gradually changing, Mother Jia nodded in satisfaction.Mrs. Wang also felt extremely satisfied with the envious eyes of all the ladies.Yuanchun gradually calmed down the mood that was blocked by Mohan, and with a graceful smile on his face, he talked about the literary talents of Baoyu and other sisters.Shui Hanxing was not interested in these things, so he took Daiyu to chat while Baoyu and Sanchun sister Baochai Xiangyun were serious about writing poems.Baochai wrote the fastest, put down the pen to look at Daiyu and Hanxing who were not far away from her, smiled and said: "Sister Lin, don't you write a poem or two?"

Han Xing glanced at her, and said with a smile that was not a smile: "Which princess have you seen writing poems in public? I said that I will let you pass after the family visits. Don't lose the face of the princess." Baochai's perfect smile suddenly A corner was missing, and before he had time to react, a servant ran over from a distance, shouting loudly as he ran: "It's bad! It's bad! His Royal Highness is poisoned!" Everyone was shocked, and they couldn't react for a while. Come.

"It's not good! It's not good! His Royal Highness is poisoned!" As soon as these words came out, the banquet scene was suddenly silent.Everyone was astonished.Concubine Yuan Gui was also shocked, she hoped that something happened to the crown prince was right, but the crown prince must not have any trouble in Jia's house.

Daiyu got up and said: "Honglian, immediately send someone to invite the imperial doctor and the nearby doctor from Ji Ren Tang to come over. Bihen will go back and report to the lord. I'll go and see the prince." Shui Hanxing quickly stood up and followed Daiyu Yu said: "I'll go too!" Seeing Daiyu and the others leaving in a hurry, Jia Mu frowned, seeing that Yuan Chun still stood up and said, "Madam, I'm going to see how His Royal Highness is doing too." Yuan Chun thought in his heart Also anxious, she nodded quickly and said: "Old lady, go and have a look, Ben Gong... Ben Gong will also go together." Holding his belly up, Yuan Chun left in a hurry holding the hand holding the piano.The people who were still full of envy and whispering just now fell silent.The air pressure of the whole banquet is getting lower and lower.If something happened to His Highness the Crown Prince, I'm afraid they would not have a good life.
