Chapter 39 The real Keqing
In the flower hall, tea and fruit products were placed on several tables. Shui Rong and Qin Ye sat separately and started chatting.
Shui Rong caught a glimpse of Keqing and Qin Zhong, two siblings beside him, and saw Keqing smiling as happily as a flower, her white jade hands helping Qin Zhong tidy up some wrinkled clothes, her charming bright eyes filled with warmth, and her whole body It exudes a different flavor than before.
How should I put it, it was like the Princess Beijing treated him.
Seeing the affectionate scene between sister and brother, Shui Rong felt a little strange. It was said that Keqing was adopted by Qin Ye from the health care hall, and he and Qin Zhong were not the same flesh and blood.
It's just that the two of them are siblings after all, so they won't do anything inappropriate. Shui Rong can't say much about this. Maybe he's a little petty.
Qin Ye seemed to notice something strange about Shui Rong, and thought that Shui Rong was a little concerned about Qin Zhong's previous rudeness. The reason why he didn't get angry was because his daughter was present.
Thinking of this, Qin Ye cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I still have something to deal with at home. I have already seen Ke'er this time, so I won't bother you."
Hearing that Qin Ye was about to leave, Keqing was reluctant to leave. He looked at Qin Ye with full eyes and said softly: "Father, lunch has been prepared. Why don't you leave after eating? You can't leave Qingqing with an empty stomach." !”
As he said that, Keqing looked at the shy Qin Zhong with full eyes, full of love.
But Qing knew in her heart that Qin Yejian couldn't stay in the palace for a long time, and she didn't have high demands. She just wanted the family to have a meal. If she missed this time, she didn't know how long it would take.
Qin Ye looked hesitant when he heard the words. Although he wanted to agree, he could vaguely see the strangeness of Shuiluo, so he couldn't stay for long.
Seeing that Ke Qing was reluctant to leave, Shui Rong immediately invited him and said, "Ke'er is absolutely right. No big thing can be compared to a family reunion. Mr. Qin will have dinner first, and it won't be too late to leave then."
With that said, Shui Rong did not wait for Qin Ye's response, but instead ordered: "Yingluo, go and ask the kitchen to prepare some fine meals."
Yingluo responded when she heard the words, and immediately went down to prepare. When Qin Ye saw Shui Rong and spoke, he certainly couldn't refute his face, not to mention that he also wanted to stay, so he took advantage of the situation and responded: "Since the prince is so kind, I should obey my orders."
Seeing Qin Ye's response, Keqing felt relieved and looked sideways at Shui Rong, her eyes filled with water, as if to express her gratitude.
Seeing this, Shui Rong couldn't help but laugh in his heart. He said thank you like this, which was obviously not sincere. However, Shui Rong didn't care about it. Sooner or later, he would pay back double, so there was no rush.
Not long after, six large boxes of fine edible food and rare fruits were brought up. Qin Ye was flattered when he saw this, and he hurriedly bowed and said: "Your Majesty, this is too grand. The people on the left and right are the lower officials. Just a few people, just keep it simple.”
Shui Rong didn't take it seriously, and waved his hand with a slightly generous face: "Mr. Qin, this is already a simple dish."
Qin Ye had a strange look on his face and looked at the maids setting the dishes with turbid eyes. Most of the dishes on the table were things he had never seen before. How could it be called simple when it was so rich?The wealth of the palace is truly unimaginable.
Shui Xiong was not surprised by this. Although the table was full, the portions of the dishes were not large. However, having said that, most of them were high-end ingredients. After all, it was indeed too extravagant.
But this is the life of a powerful family, not to mention that the Beijing Prince's Palace is the most powerful among the powerful, and the expenses for everything are extraordinary. What others see as extravagant is simplicity to the Prince's Palace.
The concepts he understood were different, so Shui Rong simply didn't explain much and invited him: "Mr. Qin, please sit down."
Qin Ye gently gnaws his head, and guests do as they please. This is how it should be.
Several people sat separately, and for a while they drank and drank among each other, which was so disharmonious.
Qin Zhong looked at the exquisite meals on the table with bright eyes and couldn't help but swallow his saliva. After all, he was still a young man. Although he could be regarded as an official, he was at best a small family. It was inevitable to see such sumptuous dishes. Increased appetite.
It was just that Qin Zhong's eyes were twinkling, and he was hesitating whether to use the chopsticks. But when Qing saw this, he pursed his lips and smiled. Sister Mo Ruo, the so-called close friend, reached out to pick up the food with Qin Zhong. After a moment, the pastel porcelain bowl in front of Qin Zhong was already full. .
Shui Rong looked at his empty porcelain bowl and felt something strange in his heart. It wasn't that he had enjoyed these few mouthfuls, but that there was obviously something wrong with his attitude. With Keqing's attitude, he must be a "Fu Di Demon"!
In fact, in feudal society, it is normal for men to be superior to women. Therefore, in a family with both sons and daughters, as a daughter, she will probably love her brothers, regardless of others. In the original work, Wang Xifeng treated her brother Wang Ren with heartfelt feelings. There are even rumors that the Duke of Rongguo His family fortune was also given away.
Although Keqing was adopted, he was also a member of the Qin family. He had only one younger brother, so he naturally loved him very much. It was not surprising that he became a "brother-destroying demon".
However, Shui Rong didn't say anything. He was greedy for Keqing, but not anyone else. There was no harm in taking care of his brothers.
It was a harmonious meal. After the meal, Qin Ye took Qin Zhong and left. At this time, Keqing couldn't persuade him to stay, so he could only watch his father and brother leave reluctantly, his long eyelashes slightly fluttering. The ground was shaking, a pair of charming bright eyes were full of autumn water, and the dripping pearls were looming.
Seeing this, Shui Rong moved closer, holding in his hand the handkerchief Keqing had put on him last time, gently wiped the corners of Keqing's eyes, and comforted him in a warm voice: "Ke'er, if you can't bear to leave, please ask Qin again tomorrow." The old man is here for a visit."
But Qing's expression was nothing but reluctance, so Shui Rong comforted her softly.
Seeing her lover's gentle words of comfort and affectionate behavior, Keqing's mind suddenly changed, her face turned red, and after taking a look at Shuirong, she murmured: "I also know the prince's kindness, but my father also has official business to deal with. No need to go to such trouble."
Qin Ye was invited to come to the palace every now and then, and others would make random gossips. Even if the prince loved him, he couldn't understand the rules.
After saying that, Keqing took the water-soluble handkerchief, turned his back and started wiping it by himself.
Shui Rong didn't say anything when he heard this. Although Qin Ye's hair and beard were white, he still had an official position and handled official duties normally. Just seeing Ke Qing's back turned to him, Shui Rong couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled. "Smile away if you are shy." Ke Qing is shy and even more charming and charming, which makes people's hearts flutter.
What's strange is that in the original work, Keqing's judgment was famous for being "good at romance". After getting to know Keqing, I realized that Keqing was not like that. Shyness was his nature. This shows that "you should not believe everything in the book when reading" and even the famous saying.
No matter what Keqing's temperament is, Shui Rong is very fond of that the beauty was too shy to meet people, Shui Rong put his hand on Keqing's beautiful shoulder, only to see her body tremble, and then softened again, and turned her around, Keqing lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, not daring to look directly, pretty Her jade face is as beautiful as blood, like peach blossoms blooming in the wind, bright and pleasant.
Shui Rong swallowed softly and whispered softly: "Ke'er, am I being rude today?"
But when Qing heard this, he raised his eyes and glanced at Shui Rong. When he met Shui Rong's fiery eyes, his heart trembled. He quickly lowered his head and responded softly: "Your Majesty is humble and polite, and there is nothing rude about him."
With Shui Rong's status, it was too grand to condescend to entertain Qin Ye. She knew in her heart that the prince was loving the whole house, which moved her so much that it was sweeter than eating honey.
Shui Rong laughed when he heard this. Do you think the reason why he treated Qin Ye so favorably was not to win the favor of a beautiful woman.
Seeing that Ke Qing was no longer feeling sad, Shui Rong said, "Ke'er, let the servants take care of things here. Let's go to the next room to take a rest."
But Qing raised her eyes and looked at Shui Rong. There was a little rouge on her jade cheeks. What was this lonely man doing in the cubicle?
Upon seeing this, Shui Rong chuckled, stretched out his hand to take Keqing's soft jade hand, and led her towards the cubicle. Keqing didn't refuse and followed her together.
Stepping into the compartment, Shui Rong led Ke Qing to sit down on the Luohan bed. The maid handed over tea, fruit and other products and then left.
Shui Rong took a sip of the fragrant tea and then said, "Ke'er, how old is Mr. Jing?"
Judging from Qin Zhong's appearance, he should be around ten years old, but Shui Xun didn't know exactly how old he was. After all, he couldn't tell his age based on his appearance.
Keqing was panicking in her heart. She heard Shuirong chatting about Qin Zhong, and she felt a little disappointed for no reason. She was ready, thinking that the prince was going to After taking a gentle breath, Ke Qing replied: "Qing Jing is eleven years old this year."
Shui Rong groaned when he heard the words and said in a clear voice: "If Mr. Qin is willing, how about letting Jing Qing go to the Imperial College to study next year? What do you think of Ke'er?"
Since the love between brother and sister is deep, Shui Rong naturally wants to do what he likes. You need to be 12 years old to enter the Imperial College, and you must be admitted by the official school or recommended. With the power of the Beijing Palace, recommendation is not a problem, and it is not troublesome for the left and right.
But Qing was very happy when he heard this. If he gets admitted to the Imperial Academy, he will be called a scholar, but he will not take part in the county examination. This is a great good thing for ordinary people.
Thinking of this, Keqing thanked you and said, "Then I would like to thank the prince for you."
Shui Rong chuckled and said in a joking tone: "Ke'er's brother is my brother, so what can I be grateful for?"
But Qing's jade cheeks were slightly drunk when he heard this. What kind of relationship between brothers, Jing Qing and the prince can only be related to her.
Thinking of this, Keqing lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes. She wondered how the prince would respond to these words.
Upon seeing this, Shui Rong stretched out his hand to capture Keqing's smooth chin, and with a slight lift, he saw a human face with peach blossoms, like patches of red clouds, charming and bright.
Involuntarily, he rubbed his water-soluble index finger and joked: "Just saying thank you, but it's too perfunctory!"
Shuirong helped Qin Zhong, and Keqing had to pay the price accordingly. This is called equivalent exchange.
Ke Qing felt the strangeness on her lips, and her body trembled slightly. When she heard Shui Rong's meaningful words, her heart suddenly dawned. Her voice couldn't help but be a little coquettish, and she said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, how do you want me to thank you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the hot breath hit his face, and his lips were already pinched.
After a while, Shui Rong stopped and looked down at Ke Qing with a slightly surprised expression, his eyes full of confusion.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Keqing took a few breaths. The previous turbulence made her a little breathless. Now she saw someone staring directly at her. Her jade cheeks couldn't help but feel as hot as fire, and she quickly turned her head. Don't dare to look directly.
Seeing Shuirong looking at her without making any move, he said in a quiet voice, "Your Majesty, what's the matter?"
The voice is soft and charming, with a bit of laziness, which makes people feel excited and makes them feel like the sun is shining brightly in the sky.
Shui Rong had a complicated look on his face and had no hands on the spoon, but Qing actually asked him what was wrong. Wasn't this asking knowingly? During this period of contact, Keqing has always been soft and shy. I originally thought that Keqing's temperament was not as good as what was said in the book, but I didn't expect that it was true. "The book has its own beauty."
Just when Keqing was feeling uneasy, his body suddenly trembled, his beautiful neck raised slightly, a greasy hum came from the wings of his nose, and he stirred up the soup with his slender jade fingers.
I don't know how much time passed, but Yingluo walked in with a basin of water. She looked at Shui Rong, who had a cheerful expression, and her heart was full of resentment. She said that the prince was very energetic, and she said that he was tired, but he didn't mean it. What's going on now? ?
Shui Rong didn't realize he was there, his mind was still immersed in it. He still remembered that when Ke Qing helped him tie the knot, Shui Rong once praised his skill. Now it seems that he is really a master of rejuvenation.
Yingluo just resented something in her heart, looked at Keqing who was blushing, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Miss Qin, wash your hands first."
But Qing lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes. Hearing what Yingluo said, she responded in a low voice: "Sorry, sister Yingluo."
Yingluo didn't realize he was there. She brought the basin and said with a smile, "Miss Qin, you're welcome. Just call me by your name."
Regarding status, Yingluo saw clearly that she was just a maid and could not compare to Keqing.
Ke Qing nodded and placed his hand in the basin. A shallow layer of water stains floated on the water. Ke Qing lowered his head and remained silent for a long time.
