Whose Evil in the Red Chamber

"Brother." He called out softly, and Xiao Qiu'er's eyes lit up when he saw the other party, and his face turned red, and he couldn't help but feel a little warm in his heart.

"Grandma Huang, I want to take my younger brother to play in the back. I left him a lot of good things!" , Grandpa Huang and the others had rewards, he divided them into two and left one for his younger brother.It's not easy for his younger brother to come into the palace today, so he wants to give him all his share!

The queen mother nodded, and the two brothers went to the back hand in hand. When the queen mother mentioned this matter at the family banquet in the evening, the emperor said with great satisfaction: "My brother, that's the way to get close."

The emperor also nodded in agreement. He was afraid that the two brothers would not grow up together, so he specially taught the eldest prince the responsibility of being an elder brother. Now it seems that his idea is correct.

Seeing the emperor's nod of approval, Jing Xuan held back his laughter, and shook his head inwardly, seeing how close the two little ones are, uncle, you really have no sense of urgency.Now I still feel that the relationship between the two is good. When you know who Xiao Qiuer is now, and you think of the close relationship between the "two brothers" of others, you may vomit blood.

However, thanks to the eldest prince's blessing, the Queen Mother's attention was all attracted by the two brothers who were close to each other during the family banquet in the evening, and Wei Zhen was spared.

Different from the New Year's Eve feast of the officials, this family banquet only has the blood relatives who are closest to the royal family.The emperor and the empress sit at the top, the emperor and the empress respectively sit at the bottom of the two saints, and the two princes sit next to the emperor, followed by King Zhongping and King Zhongshun who are close to the emperor. Prince.

King Zhongping was not married yet, and the newly married King Zhongshun did not bring his concubine to the banquet. Against this background, Wei Zhen, who was not related to the royal family, was particularly eye-catching.Wei Zhen was brought by the Empress Dowager's name to Jingxuan. She reluctantly accepted the fact that her "cute and cute" Jingxuan did not want to marry, and would rather stay unmarried all her life and guard her brothers under the persuasion of the emperor. As for Jingxuan, the queen mother is not so good-hearted.

I didn't know the relationship between Wei Zhen and Jing Xuan before, but seeing such a simple and honest "guard" with good skills beside Jing Xuan, the queen mother still admired Wei Zhen very much, knowing that they grew up together when they were young, she also praised him. Wei Zhen is loyal.Now that she understands the cause and effect, the Empress Dowager is not so comfortable looking at Wei Zhen. With that physique, that figure, with her own Jingxuan, she dares to feel that her child is that big black "child bride"!

Unexpectedly, the love between the two little princes was so eye-catching. The queen mother happily looked at the younger grandson who was getting healthier and was happy, and then saw that the elder grandson did not waste their teachings. Putting it in my heart makes my heart feel more comfortable.

She was so happy, but she forgot about Wei Zhen. When the family banquet was over, the Queen Mother remembered this and called Jing Xuan to the Palace of Compassion and Peace alone. Seeing his relaxed face, she hated Pointing Jing Xuan's forehead with a finger in hatred: "Tell me about you, any girl in the world, whoever you like, I can find a way to ask her to be your wife! What's so good about that stupid big guy? Call you He is so determined that he doesn’t even want to marry a wife? Look at Zhongshun, he’s been known in Beijing for being cynical and somewhat partial, didn’t he marry a concubine and carry on the family line?”

Jing Xuan smiled, although the queen mother said she disagreed, but because the queen mother never mentioned the matter of showing him his daughter-in-law these days, Jing Xuan knew in her heart that the queen mother had softened her attitude, so she was not worried.

"Don't worry about me. He treats me very well. Maybe we are not a good match in the eyes of outsiders, but in my heart, apart from him, there is no one else in this world who I can entrust to my life." Jing Xuan pulled the Queen Mother hand, said sadly.

Seeing Jing Xuan who was brisk, resolute and stubborn in front of her brow, the Queen Mother was slightly stunned, and shook her head after a long while: "You're sure I'm soft-hearted, and I can't bear to force you."

After this family banquet, the queen mother recognized Wei Zhen's existence, but the queen who was present that day was not so calm and composed.Unlike other people, the queen doesn't know the relationship between Jing Xuan and Wei Zhen. Seeing an irrelevant stranger appearing in such an important family banquet and sitting beside Lin Jingxuan, the queen's heart turned. I have many ideas, but I can't think of a reason.

After returning to the dormitory, the queen wanted to ask Yuan Chun to inquire about the news, but she called Yuan Chun's name twice but no one answered, and then she remembered that Yuan Chun had married into the Palace of Zhongshun.Thinking of this, the queen's mood became even more gloomy.King Zhongshun is the emperor's diehard, and they have always disliked the Yan family. If Yuan Chun marries him, it's fine if he can win him over to her side. Yes, it's useless at all, it's just a waste!

Thinking of Mrs. Wang and Xue's family who were the matchmaker behind this marriage, the queen couldn't wait to see her, they were all in the same nest as that kid Lin Jingxuan!Sooner or later, these accounts will all be settled one by one!

Thinking of the eldest prince and the little prince who were so intimate at the family banquet, the queen's mood is even worse. The little prince is not in the palace all year round. The big prince grew up in the palace. The eldest prince's time is very rare, even if he sees him, he will be picked up by the queen mother or the emperor's people after only saying a few innocuous words.If this continues, she will have no way to cultivate a mother-child relationship with the eldest prince. If things go on like this, even if the eldest prince ascends the throne in the future, her position as empress dowager will still be in name only.

With so much bad news intertwined, the queen's palms were bleeding from her own pinch. After thinking for a while, the queen calmed down and fixed her eyes on Lin Jingxuan and Wei Zhen, and called the eunuch beside her: "If I remember correctly, Mr. Lin and Mr. Wei were placed in Qinshui Palace in the west, right? I vaguely remember that you mentioned that you have a god-sister who works as a maid in Qinshui Palace?"

"Returning to your mother, the slave's younger sister is indeed working in Qinshui Palace." The eunuch quickly replied.

"You asked your sister to keep an eye on those two boys in Qinshui Palace, especially the one surnamed Wei, and report every move to this palace. Can you do that?" the queen asked sternly.

The eunuch nodded quickly: "I understand."

In Qinshui Palace, Jingxuan and Wei Zhen didn't know that the queen was following them. This Qinshui Palace was originally the palace of a favorite concubine of the emperor. ownerless.The beloved concubine was also fond of hot springs, so a large pool was built in the palace. Although the pool was not filled with hot spring water, because of its exquisite design, hot water could be poured in from time to time to maintain the water temperature of the pool.

In the past when Jing Xuan entered the palace, either the Queen Mother left him to stay in the Palace of Compassion, or he stayed with the Emperor in Yongshou Palace. Now that Jing Xuan is fifteen or six years old, he brought Wei Zhen with him. It's inconvenient to disturb Ersheng, so I moved into Qinshui Palace.This palace was specially chosen for him by the emperor. Not to mention the other things, the big pool alone fit Jingxuan's heart very much. Jingxuan, who was a little drunk at the moment, took off his clothes and immersed himself in the misty pool. Hitting it, he narrowed his eyes in satisfaction.

Wei Zhen swallowed, and moved his eyes away, but Jing Xuan refused to let him go, beckoning him to come over, Wei Zhen just walked up to him, when Jing Xuan dragged him into the water by the collar of his clothes.

"You're drunk." Wei Zhen looked at Jing Xuan's fair face with a blush, and said with a sigh.

Jing Xuan raised his eyebrows: "I'm very sober. I just drank a few glasses of water and wine at the banquet."

That being said, Wei Zhen could clearly feel that Jing Xuan's breath on his face was still smelling of alcohol.The fruit wine served at the banquet just now was sweet, and the water and wine were clear. They were all high-quality wines, not intoxicating.But I can't stand drinking the two kinds of wine mixed, now that the stamina is on the rise, it's rare to say I'm not drunk.

At this time, Wei Zhen's clothes were soaked by the water in the pool, and Jing Xuan held him back, but Wei Zhen had no choice but to untie his clothes with one hand, and pushed the wet clothes to the pool.Since you can't resist, it's better to enjoy the pool water.Left and right he also wants to take a bath, but it's just a little torturing right now.

After taking a few deep breaths, Wei Zhen suppressed the thoughts in his heart, and only regarded it as a bath, but Jing Xuan was not worried, and after seeing his chest, green light appeared in his eyes.

Jing Xuan looked down at his fair chest, although it wasn't thin, but it wasn't strong either; looking at Wei Zhen again, his dark skin didn't look filthy, but instead glowed after being wet by water.This is the man!Jing Xuan's head was a little dizzy, and he stretched out his hand to poke Wei Zhen's chest. It was really different from his own touch, like a stone, it was simply unbearable!

Wei Zhen looked at Jing Xuan with blurred eyes and drooling at his chest, dumbfounded. Of course, he knew that what Jing Xuan was thinking had nothing to do with Fengyue, but anyone who was stared at or touched by his beloved would still Can you be distracted?Even if it was Wei Zhen, it was inevitable that his mouth would become parched at this time.

But it can't... Wei Zhen remembered what Mr. Wu said, Jing Xuan was already weak, so he shouldn't get in touch with that kind of thing too early, if possible, it would be safest to perform Zhou Gong's ceremony later.It was just this sentence, Wei Zhen endured it until now, thinking that he would have to endure it for more than two years, Wei Zhen felt that he would suffocate to death sooner or later.But this careless person kept provoking him, which really made Wei Zhentian fight fiercely.

Wei Zhen was uncomfortable, and Jing Xuan was not happy. He was already 15 years old, which is the age of enlightenment for young people, and he is not a young man who knows this stuff better than anyone else.It was probably because his body was really weak in this life, and when he was 15 years old, he hadn't had the first impulse, so he didn't take it to heart.

Now half-drunk and half-awake, and just in time for the meeting, Jing Xuan couldn't help but look more reddened, and his breathing became a little unsteady.

Seeing him like this, Wei Zhen still didn't understand. He stretched out his hand and groped under the water, and felt the change in the other party.Wei Zhen sighed, what can he do now, he can only help the drunken Jing Xuan with his hand.

When the drunk cat nestled comfortably in his arms and fell asleep, Wei Zhen looked at himself dumbfounded, shook his head and carried Jing Xuan out, dried him, put on his clothes, dried his hair, covered him Putting on the quilt, only then did he have the energy to deal with his still lively guy, which made him almost vomit blood.What is it all about!

Wei Zhen's "frolicking" was noticed by interested people, and when the queen got the news, she couldn't help being dumbfounded for a long while.Jing Xuansheng's appearance is indeed very handsome, and it is not surprising that he has the good queen of Longyang, but with Jing Xuan's current favored status, he should be the same as Zhongshun, raising some actors who are soft and charming like young daughters, that's all. No matter how much I thought about it, I never imagined that it would be the burly and handsome Wei Zhen?

After the queen stayed for a long while, her mind couldn't help but go further and further away. How dare this kid surnamed Lin is a rabbit master!No wonder so many people in the capital want to marry the Lin family, but it's gone now.The more she thinks about it, the more the queen feels that perhaps Lin Jingxuan's handwriting is involved in the matter of their sister Yan Jiahuan. Sister Huan is a safe child. Not to mention the matter of Yan's family, it almost missed her own life.

Thinking about it this way, the queen who was originally angry with her niece finally found a scapegoat, and all her anger towards her niece turned into pity, and all her anger was directed at Jing Xuan.

I don't know how Mr. Lin will react when he knows that his only son has become a rabbit master!When the queen thought about it, a satisfied smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

The empress thinks that her work is flawless, but the emperor has absolute control over the entire palace, and the news and things the empress sends to the emperor are immediately known to the emperor.

Naturally, Jing Xuan woke up early in the morning, and before he could digest what he did with the help of alcohol last night, he realized that even the Emperor's uncle knew about it!Seeing the emperor's inquiring expression, Jing Xuan wanted to eat his own heart.Coughing lightly and looking away, the emperor frowned, and shouted at Wei Zhen: "He's drunk, so are you drunk too?"

Wei Zhen bowed his head and remained silent. Facing this kind of father-in-law, he, who took half the advantage, had better keep silent.

"The Lin family, what do you want to do?" The emperor had nowhere to vent his anger, looking at the two quails in front of him, he had no choice but to swallow his anger first.

Jing Xuan said indifferently: "If you can hide from the first day of the new year, you can't hide from the fifteenth day. Besides, I didn't intend to hide it. Why don't I take this opportunity to pass the news to Lin Ruhai, and when the time comes, the soldiers will come and cover it up, so as not to hide it? It's good to waste the second lip and tongue, and let go of his idea of ​​betrothing me."

Just like that, the queen thought that she was sending the news out of nowhere, and she was secretly looking forward to Lin Ruhai's reaction when she got the news from Jiangnan, but she didn't know that it was the emperor and Jing Xuan behind the scenes. What role did it play.

In the blink of an eye, it was the first month, King Zhongshun held a banquet in the mansion, and invited Jing Xuan and Wei Zhen to the mansion.King Zhongshun couldn't stop listening to Huang Ying'er and the Lingguan's drama on the day of his wedding. This time, he had a good meal with the head of the class, and told the head of the class that Jing Xuan would also pass the mansion, and then asked the head of the class to nod and let The two of them went to the palace to sing again.

Liu Xianglian knew that the two of them were going to be on stage, and they were eager to play along, so she also went backstage to tidy up.During the banquet, Jing Xuan looked at King Zhongshun shaking his head intoxicated, and couldn't help laughing: "Why are you inviting me to have a drink, but you are using my reason to ask my troupe to come and sing for you! Really! Make a good deal!"

King Zhongshun sighed: "I'm just such an idea hobby. Before I met you, I thought my class was unparalleled in the world, but I didn't think about it. There are people outside the world and there is a sky outside. I admire you very much."

Jing Xuan smiled without saying a word, and listened to the play carefully, secretly nodding to Huang Yinger and Lingguan's skills, saying that Jiang is old and spicy, which is really good, the two of them are now outside, and they both have to be honored "Everyone" is a well-deserved role in the troupe.

Huang Yinger wandered among the rich and powerful in her early years, and she was hurt by someone who hurt her throat. If she hadn’t met Jingxuan and her voice had been healed, she would have gotten asylum and no longer need to flatter those aristocratic children. He wouldn’t be where he is today. , Became a famous actor in Liyuan.It is precisely because of his experience that Huang Yinger has always been extremely resistant to coming out to thank the master after removing her makeup.

But the difference today is that Jing Xuan is also there, so after singing the opera, Huang Yinger and Lingguan changed into their usual attire, and both went to the front to meet Jing Xuan and King Zhongshun.

Zhongshun was overjoyed, it was also the first time he had seen Huang Yinger and Lingguan in their usual appearance, no matter what the distinction was, he asked the two to sit down together, and ordered the servants to set out two sets of bowls, chopsticks, cups and saucers.

Jing Xuan smiled at the Lingguan: "Is your eldest sister five years old now?"

After Lingguan and Zhou Xi got married, the young couple loved each other, making everyone in the Lichun class envious.Since ancient times, the status of actors has been low, and even marriages are often unsatisfactory. There are very few people like Lingguan who married Zhou Xi and their loving husband and wife.Now Zhou Xi is a teacher of Wu Xi and Qin Yue, and is already a well-known doctor of Zhou in the pharmacy.

Hearing Jingxuan mentioned his daughter, the Lingguan said with a smile on his face: "That's right. This little girl is like her mother when she was a child, and she likes to serve those herbs."

Lingguan and Jingxuan were talking here, but King Zhongshun kept staring at Huang Yinger thoughtfully, and Huang Yinger let him watch calmly without looking sideways.Seeing Jingxuan, he raised his eyebrows and asked Zhongshun: "Why, is our Huang Yinger getting flowers on her face?"

Jing Xuan is still very protective of his own opera singers, but he is quite surprised by Zhongshun's performance. It stands to reason that King Zhongshun knows his rules, so he would not knowingly commit a crime.

"I just looked familiar. I went to Jiangnan back then and met a little opera actor with the same name and surname. At that time, I saw that he had some potential, so I wanted to bring him back to the capital, but before I left, I fell ill. , said it was because of a high fever that my voice was hoarse, and I couldn’t sing anymore. So I took the next best thing and brought others back. Because of this past incident, I just watched a few more times.” King Zhongshun explained, Jingxuan He has no intention of breaking the rules.What's more, he has always insisted on what you want and what you want, and what is difficult for others, he hasn't acted like that.

Huang Yinger smiled wryly when she heard this, and raised her wine glass: "Thanks to you, my lord is still thinking about it."

He also met King Zhongshun with a certain familiarity, and felt that the other party was very similar to the distinguished guest whom the young master of the Qian family asked him to serve, and he suffered for no reason after that. With these words, the mystery of the year gradually became clear.Back then, it seemed that he was killed because he was in the way of others.

But after so many years, Huang Ying'er has long since stopped complaining about the things that happened back then, and she knows that it is not a blessing if she has lost her horse. If she hadn't suffered that crime, she would never have met the eldest son, and there would be no Huang Ying'er today.

"It really is you." A hint of surprise flashed in King Zhongshun's eyes. After so many years, he still misses that little actor back then.
