Chapter 121 Water Solubility: In the blink of an eye, I have a godmother Ning'an Hall is crowded with people and surrounded by pearls and greenery.
Concubine Beijing was leaning on the soft roof of the high hall, next to her was Mrs. Wang. Facing her mother-in-law, Concubine Beijing also showed kindness, which made Mrs. Wang look happy.
At Mrs. Wang's signal, the juniors greeted each other one by one. Baoyu was the younger brother of Princess Beijing, so he naturally bore the brunt.
Concubine Beijing looked at Baoyu with her almond-shaped eyes and saw that his face was bright and radiant, and that he was a person with outstanding appearance. She couldn't help but nodded secretly, but she didn't say anything more. After all, she had a more outstanding son.
As for Jia Huan and Jia Lan, Concubine Beijing knew that they were Shuixu's companions and didn't say much. However, those golden hairpins made Concubine Beijing slightly more interested.
Due to the large number of people, they were divided into two groups to attend the ceremony.
Concubine Beijing looked at the two people in front of her, holding one hand closely and looking at the other. The first one had slightly plump skin, a greasy nose, and was gentle and silent. The other was a pink jade sculpture, looking very cute.
Yuanchun, the daughter-in-law, introduced her at the right time and said softly: "Mother, these are my second and fourth sisters."
Princess Beijing nodded gently when she heard this, and said with a smile: "The one who is so beautiful and refined is the daughter of the Jia family."
Mrs. Wang on the side felt relieved after hearing this. The daughter of the Jia family was so beautiful and refined. Wouldn't she also praise her daughter as well?
Princess Beijing praised a few words, then let go of her hand, and the two of them quietly retreated. Immediately afterwards, Baochai, Daiyu, and Xiangyun came forward to greet her, and Yuan Chun also introduced them.
Concubine Beijing also showed no signs of being unfamiliar. She took the nearest Baochai and looked at it carefully. She saw that Baochai's muscles and bones were smooth, her manners were elegant, and she was bare-faced. Her lips were red without any dots, and her eyebrows were green without painting. She lost her color and seemed to be naturally gorgeous. She was eye-catching at first glance. She couldn't help but praise: "What a handsome girl. I don't know which young man is so lucky."
Baochai lowered her head when she heard the words, her bright apricot eyes flickered, and a blush appeared on her pink face.
Concubine Beijing chuckled lightly when she saw this, and said nothing. She let go and immediately looked at Daiyu. She saw that she had a refined appearance, was petite and cute, and exuded a faint scent of books. She was elegant and unsullied. .
It's just that her body and face are very timid, and one can tell at a glance that she is deficient.
Concubine Beijing took Daiyu's hand and said, "Looking at your poor complexion, why don't you rush for treatment?"
Daiyu didn't mind when she heard this. After all, most people who met her were like this, so she replied generously: "I've always been like this. I've been taking medicine since I was able to eat and drink. I haven't stopped until today. How many people have I invited?" Famous doctors prepared prescriptions and prepared medicines, but none of them worked."
Princess Beijing didn't realize that he was there after hearing this. There were actually not many harem girls with deficiencies like Daiyu, so she was not surprised. However, seeing Daiyu behave well in words and deeds made people feel more comfortable. , so he praised him a few times and let go.
Immediately afterwards, Concubine Beijing looked at Xiangyun. When she saw Xiangyun's smart eyes, there was a youthfulness between her eyebrows, which made Concubine Beijing's apricot eyes light up.
Concubine Beijing took Xiangyun's hand and said with a smile: "This girl looks very pleasant. How old is she?"
Xiangyun's eyes were not timid or shy, and Lidou returned his gaze lightly.
Princess Beijing looked at Shi Xiangyun's smiling face, with the dimples looming on his cheeks, which was very cute, especially when Xiangyun bit his tongue when he answered, showing a charming and naive look, which was endearing.
As the saying goes, lively girls attract people to like, especially for Princess Beijing, who is "old" and has no children, she likes these kind of little girls in her heart.
With a chuckle, Princess Beijing said: "You are all good, I don't know which one I should praise."
Seeing Princess Beijing's compliments without any pretense, Mrs. Wang said humbly with a smile on her face: "They are not easy-going, they are afraid of disturbing your peace."
Princess Beijing didn't take it seriously and said in a clear voice: "What's the trouble? The palace has not been lively for a long time, and everyone is bored. Yuan Chun and the third girl entered the palace, and they became a little angry. Now that you are here, It just adds to the popularity of the palace."
The number of people in the Prince's Palace of Beijing is very small. Except for Concubine Beijing, Shui Rong and Ke Qing, the others are not considered masters. Therefore, Concubine Beijing is quite boring. If Yuanchun hadn't married into the Palace and brought a Tanchun could not even afford a domino player as a dowry, so Princess Beijing was quite interested in this excitement.
As Concubine Beijing finished speaking, the hall was filled with joy.
Yuan Chun looked thoughtfully at the peaceful Concubine Beijing. There was no hint of the concubine's arrogance in her words and deeds. Instead, she showed humility and kindness. This was the concubine's way of dealing with people "outside". It was worth it. study.
Princess Beijing didn't know what Yuan Chun was thinking, so she pondered and ordered people to bring out the gifts, a pair of gold and jade rings and wrist beads.
Several people took it and thanked them hurriedly.
But Princess Beijing saw Xiang Yun's innocent smile and felt something in her heart. She waved her hand, called him to her, and touched Xiang Yun's head affectionately.
Xiangyun was not timid at all. His big black grape-like eyes looked at the concubine quietly, with a well-behaved look in his eyes.
Seeing this, Princess Beijing felt more and more fond of her. She noticed that her hands were a little wet, and said with a smile: "It's hot, just take off your outer clothes."
Xiangyun heard this and didn't realize he was there. He took off his coat and said with a smile: "I said I'm not afraid of the cold. The second wife was worried that I would be cold, so she asked me to put it on, otherwise who would wear these. "
"hehe".Concubine Beijing saw that Xiangyun was not afraid of strangers, not shy, and generous. Her speech was also refreshing and lively, which was very rare.
"You are the daughter of the Shi family, right?"
Princess Beijing listened to Yuanchun's brief introduction to everyone, but it was also a simple introduction, and the details were not clear.
At this time, the competent Yuanchun saw that Princess Beijing seemed to like Xiangyun, so she said: "Mom, Yun Yatou is the daughter of the Baolinghou Mansion. She has lost her parents since she was a child, and she was raised by her uncle and aunt. Usually, when grandma misses her, she will send someone to take Yun Yatou to live in the house for a while."
Concubine Beijing was silent when she heard the words. After pondering for a moment, she stroked Xiangyun's head. Her body seemed to exude the glory of motherhood, and said softly: "You are a poor child. I feel that I am quite destined to be with you. If you are willing, I can simply accept you as my goddaughter."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was a little surprised. Baochai couldn't help but look at the hall with her apricot eyes. Yurong was slightly surprised. Princess Beijing accepted Xiangyun as her goddaughter. This was not Xiangyun's fate.
Xiangyun Yurong was shocked. She saw that Concubine Beijing was kind, but she didn't expect that she would accept her as her goddaughter.
After a while, Xiangyun came back to his senses, reached out and scratched his little head, and said charmingly: "I also see that the concubine is so approachable, so naturally I am willing, but I have to go back and ask my uncle about this."
For Xiangyun, being the goddaughter of Concubine Beijing is undoubtedly a good thing, but it is not up to her to make the decision. She must ask the uncle and aunt who raised her.
Concubine Beijing smiled "haha" when she heard this. She adopted her as a goddaughter. How could anyone not want to do it? However, hearing Xiangyun say that she was amiable made her feel comfortable, and seeing her scratching her head and ears made her feel quite cute. , then chuckled and said: "It doesn't matter, you can go back and ask, and come back to me tomorrow."
Xiangyun nodded and said "hmm" a few times, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll ask when I get back. If I get it right, I'll come to find you, the concubine. Don't think I'm making trouble then."
Concubine Beijing pursed her lips and smiled when she heard this. She looked at Xiangyun with more and more love, and she couldn't put it down while holding Xiangyun's hand.
Mrs. Wang on the side watched quietly, not caring about the fact that the concubine wanted to recognize Xiangyun as her goddaughter. You must know that her biological daughter was the concubine of Beijing, and the concubine she raised under her knees was the prince's servant. Concubine, if we are not close to each other, how can we be jealous?
At this time, Shui Rong just opened the curtain and entered, and everyone's eyes fell on Shui Rong.
The house is filled with spring scenery, the fragrance is piled high with makeup and powder, and the rich fragrance comes to the nostrils, which makes people feel relaxed and happy. The scene in front of them is like a beautiful picture of a group of people.
Entering the hall, Shui Rong greeted her first. Concubine Beijing was not as intimate as usual, but instead looked dignified and elegant, which made Shui Rong feel funny. This stepmother was really two-faced.
As for Mrs. Wang, she may be happy with her lovely face.
As soon as Shui Rong sat down, Princess Beijing took Xiang Yun's hand and said with a smile: "Brother Rong, I plan to adopt Yun Yatou as my goddaughter. From now on, she will be your sister. You are my brother, but You need to look after her more."
For Concubine Beijing, since she planned to accept Xiangyun as her goddaughter, it was basically a done deal. Asking the elders was just a matter of appearance, so she already regarded Xiangyun as her daughter in her heart.
Shui Rong looked a little stunned when he heard this. His eyes were on Princess Beijing's affectionate hold of Xiang Yun's hand. How could he have a godmother in the blink of an eye? However, Shui Rong didn't say much. He knew that Concubine Beijing had nothing to do, and this was an incomplete life in her opinion. Therefore, when Shui Rong passed away, Concubine Beijing showed her pampering to the best of her ability. Now this Xiangyun is lively and lively, so it is not unusual for him to be loved.
Thinking of this, Shui Rong nodded and said, "Don't worry, mother, the child will take more care of sister Yun."
The sister-in-law turned into a sister, which was really dramatic.
Xiang Yun's eyes flickered on the side. Although she was young, she also knew that since Princess Beijing intended to adopt her as her goddaughter, there would be no complications in the matter. Now she not only had one more godmother, but also one more. Brother, I felt inexplicable for a moment.
Concubine Beijing nodded with satisfaction after hearing this, looked at Xiangyun and frowned, and asked with a smile: "Girl Yun, what's wrong?"
Xiangyun didn't hide it, and said happily: "I am thinking whether it is better to call you brother-in-law or brother in the future!"
Princess Beijing was shocked at first. She didn't expect Xiangyun to be thinking about these things. However, looking at Xiangyun's innocent and beautiful face, she felt better. She gently stroked Xiangyun's head with her bare hands and asked with a smile: "Then do you want to call me brother-in-law or brother?"
Xiangyun touched his chin with his little hand and looked at Yuanchun beside him. He then looked at Concubine Beijing in front of him. Her beautiful face was slightly tangled. After pondering for a moment, her smart eyes showed a hint of cunning and she smiled: "Sister. When my eldest sister is here, I call her brother-in-law, and when my eldest sister is away, I call her brother-in-law."
As soon as these words came out, everyone covered their mouths and snickered, including Shui Rong. At this moment, in this scene, Xiangyun's refreshing words not only did not seem abrupt, but were actually well received.
I saw Princess Beijing smiling, rubbing Xiangyun's head with her bare hands, and scolded: "You are quite an eccentric girl, so whatever, it's up to you."
The water-soluble eyes looked at the smiling Xiangyun, her beautiful face was filled with a sweet smile, showing the liveliness of a little girl, and she thought that Princess Beijing liked her,
"What's the point of being rich and noble? When I was a baby, my parents disobeyed me. I opened my eyes to look at the slanting light. The water of the Xiangjiang River passed by and Chu Yunfei flew away."
I still remember the sadness of Xiangyun being betrayed in the original work, and the flower boat shouting heartbreakingly, "Love my brother, redeem me...". Not to mention that she is Shuixun's sister-in-law, and she is now his god-sister. We can't let it end tragically.
