Chapter 23 Jia Baoyu’s happiness, I realized it Shaking his head, Shui Rong ignored him, and his eyes fell on Ke Qing. The lake was wide, the breeze was gentle, and the belt around his waist was fluttering in the wind, adding a bit of quiet beauty.
Ke Qing noticed Shui Rong's gaze, and her heart was racing like a deer. She lowered her eyebrows and twisted the embroidered handkerchief in her hand. She was fine before, but she suddenly wanted to eat people again.
Just when Keqing was at a loss, a black shadow on the floor tiles followed, making Keqing tremble.
"Ke Qing, why didn't you use the peach blossom dew I gave you yesterday?" Shui Rong sat down next to Ke Qing, and the fragrance of his daughter's house hit his nostrils, making Shui Rong's mind wander.
Yingluo bought the three lipsticks from Shuiluo yesterday. Shuiluo applied them herself this morning and tried them out by the way. But Qing wore light makeup and did not apply "peach blossom dew". The rest was Zhen Hua's initiative. After applying it, it is said that women have bought lipstick to please their appearance, but they don’t know how to show it, so what kind of water-soluble lipstick should they buy?
But when Qing heard this, he glanced sideways at Shui Rong, then lowered his eyes again and whispered: "The lipstick from before has not been used up yet. When it is used up, I will apply it again and show it to the prince."
When Shui Rong heard this, the corners of his mouth rose slightly. Yesterday, he told Ke Qing to apply lipstick for him to see. It seemed that he took it to heart. This was a change in attitude. It was very good. Maybe he could take it a step further.
"But I want to see it now." Shui Rong stretched out his hand to hold Keqing Rouyi and stroked it gently. It was soft and smooth, like silk, which made people fall in love with her.
But Qing was not surprised by Shui Rong's abruptness. Whenever the two of them got along, the prince always liked to warm her hands.
Just listening to Shui Rong's request, she felt a little shy. After a moment, Ke Qing raised her eyes like autumn water and said in a clear voice: "But the lipstick is placed at Nuan Pavilion, otherwise..."
At this point, Keqing lowered his eyes and whispered: "If you don't wait until later, I will show it to the prince."
Shui Rong chuckled lightly, thinking it was a big deal. He turned around and said, "Shuang Jiang, go get Keqing's peach blossom dew."
But when Qing heard this, he raised his eyes and glanced at Shuangsheng, but didn't say anything. After all, the prince wanted to see it.
Shuang Jiang responded and immediately went back to get the peach blossom dew. However, Ying Luo, who was standing by the side, glanced at her mouth and secretly spat in her heart. She was applying lipstick instead of eating it, and her mouth was not what she meant.
Thinking of this, Yingluo recalled the scene in the early morning, her cheeks turned red, her pair of smart apricot eyes rolled around, and her delicate body became semi-flexible.
Shui Rong didn't notice Yingluo's strangeness, and saw her holding Ke Qing's jade hand and standing up, saying warmly: "Ke Qing, let's go to the pavilion in front to rest."
There is also a promenade on the waterside of Huxin Pavilion, which is connected to a two-story pavilion on the shore. Standing on the pavilion and looking out, you can have a panoramic view of the beautiful scenery of Huxin Pavilion. Every summer, Shui Rong will move in temporarily to escape the heat. Use.
But how could Qing refuse at this time? He followed Shui Rong to the pavilion in a panic. He saw the words "Xiaoqiao Family" printed on the towering plaque, which was obviously the name of the pavilion.
Stepping inside, the pavilion is magnificent, with carved beams and painted pillars, showing the royal style.
Shui Rong led Ke Qing to sit on the Arhat bed in the northwest corner. On the tables in the middle, Yingluo and others placed tea and fruit products.
"But Qing, I am unhappy looking at you today, but are you unhappy because of your cousin from the Zhen family?"
The different treatment given by Princess Beijing in Ning'an Hall made Ke Qing unable to conceal her disappointment, so she should be relieved.
But Qing's expression was startled when he heard this, and he ignored the panic in his heart and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, Sister Zhen is so kind to others. I am not unhappy. Please don't think nonsense."
People in the palace already regarded Zhen Hua as the future Princess Beijing. She couldn't poke people's spines in front of Shui Rong. If Zhen Hua found out, she would have a hard time after entering the palace.
Shui Rong didn't take it seriously when he heard the words. He looked at Ke Qing's fearful expression and comforted her warmly: "Ke Qing, I'm telling you what's in my heart. My cousin of the Zhen family only thinks of her as a cousin, nothing more."
Although Zhen Hua is good at the moment, Shui Rong is not interested in him. The most important thing is that the Zhen family is a mess and he has concerns. Moreover, Shui Rong is not familiar with Zhen Hua. He is just because of his good appearance and conversation. Just an impression.
Shui Rong was an adult at heart and had to consider practical issues. Judging from the consequences of the Zhen family's confiscation, a marriage between the two families would most likely drag down the Beijing Palace. In this case, Shui Rong was asking for trouble and had to step on a thunderstorm.
Sex can make one's mind dim, but water will not dissolve it.
But Qing was even more stunned when he heard this. He had never thought that the prince had no other thoughts for the second girl of the Zhen family. He hesitated for a moment and reminded: "But what should the prince say to the concubine?"
The parents' orders, the matchmaker's words, and Princess Beijing's approval. How should Shui Rong respond?
Shui Rong heard this and replied with a smile: "Have you forgotten that my marriage will have to wait until the beautiful girl enters the palace next year, and will be granted the marriage by Your Majesty? The future Princess Beijing is still unknown."
Shui Rong had earlier received the favor of Emperor Yongkang and was granted a marriage by the emperor, and Emperor Yongkang had already stated that Shui Rong could choose by himself, which meant that the initiative was in his own hands. He had a certain right to choose Princess Beijing, even if it was Beijing. It’s not easy for Concubine Jing to intervene forcefully.
Ke Qing raised her eyes to look at Shui Rong, curious in her heart, and whispered: "Sister Zhen has a charming appearance and is well-educated. Doesn't the prince have any ideas in his heart?"
Shui Rong didn't answer when he heard the words, and looked at Ke Qing with a half-smile, but he seemed to detect a hint of jealousy in Ke Qing's tone. Sure enough, no matter how safe his daughter's family was, there was still a strong balance in his heart.
Keqing was so embarrassed by Shui Rong that she couldn't even lift her head, and whispered softly: "Your Majesty, you haven't come back yet!!!" She is timid and shy, her actions are so charming, and all kinds of charm linger on her eyebrows. She is really the peach blossom of Xiangguo. , stunningly charming.
Shui Rong held Keqing's jade hand in his palm and said warmly: "In my opinion, Keqing is even more romantic. My heart has long admired her."
Red Mansion is the No. 1 bright and charming place, and it’s no surprise to be admired by the water.
In fact, compared with Keqing, Zhen Hua's appearance is not inferior to Keqing's, but Keqing's graceful figure, every frown and smile are charming, and more attractive. However, in terms of knowledge and ethics, Zhen Hua, who came from the Zhen family in Jiangnan, is obviously On a higher level, for example, Shui Rong and Zhen Hua were chatting freely while visiting the garden, but Keqing was taciturn. After all, he was exposed to a different world, and his knowledge pales in comparison. Keqing, on the other hand, acted securely, but could not hide it. Water-soluble preference and lust are common in everyone.
"Your Highness." Keqing's face turned red when she heard this, her bright eyes were charming, and she became angry.
The prince is also true. When I talk to him seriously, he doesn't become serious. Just listening to these words, your heart feels as sweet as honey.
Shui Rong smiled "hehe", his heart moved slightly, and he asked softly, "Ke Qing, do you have a nickname?"
Keqing raised her eyes and glared at Shuirong, without any hesitation, and murmured: "I have a baby name, and I call her Ke'er."
The corner of Shui Rong's mouth rose when he heard this, "Keqing's official name is both beautiful and beautiful, her nickname is Keqing, and her nickname is Ke'er. He knows all these. The reason why he took the initiative to ask was out of temptation. To know that his daughter's nickname is very mysterious and can only be given to her parents." Brothers, sisters and other relatives know it, but only the husband knows it after marriage, so it is also called "girlfriend's name". Now Keqing tells Shuirong her nickname, and the meaning is self-explanatory.
So Shui Rong took advantage of the situation and asked, "How about I call you Ke'er from now on?"
Keqing lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, her cheeks were as red as blood, and she felt a little angry at Shui Rong. She had already told Shui Rong her nickname, so she still asked why. Shui Rong saw that Ke Qing's jade face was as bright as clouds, as bright as fire, like a swaying peach blossom, bright and pleasant. The so-called peach blossoms on human faces were not like this. He knew that this was the signal for a general attack. Shui Rong couldn't help but pursed his lips. , leaned over and slowly leaned down.
Ke Qing's moist eyes stared at Shui Rong approaching her, her heart skipping a beat. Before she could react, a hot manly scent hit her nostrils, causing her delicate body to tremble.
Your Majesty, is this going to...
"Your Majesty, here is the peach blossom dew."
Suddenly, a sweet shout woke up Ke Qing, who was at a loss. She quickly turned her back to Shuirong, her heart pounding wildly, and her cheeks burning like fire.
Shui Rong had a black line on his face. He was about to hit the bases, but failed. He turned around and looked at the person who came, wanting to scold him, but felt it was unnecessary.
Shuang Jiang held the incense box in his hand and looked at Shui Rong, who was staring at her, and Keqing, who had his back turned. His pretty cheeks were full of doubts, what's going on? "Bring it!!" Shui Rong didn't want to say anything and gave the order directly.
Shuangjiang handed the incense box to Shui Rong, and immediately stepped aside. Shui Rong took the incense box and looked at Ke Qing, who had his back turned to him. His graceful and graceful figure was clearly visible.
"Ke'er, can I help you apply lipstick?"
But Qing was startled when he heard the words. After a long while, he turned around, but the scene was still vivid in his mind. He heard Shui Rong calling her nickname, and was too shy to look directly at Shui Rong. She lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes and whispered: "Don't bother me, Your Majesty. I'll do it myself."
Shui Rong didn't take it seriously, looked at the beautiful jade face, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter."
The atmosphere was already well established, so how could he give up halfway? Besides, Keqing's attitude of refusing to welcome clearly meant that he would not reject Shui Xiong's "good intentions". His daughter's family wanted what he didn't want, so he understood, so Shui Xiong directly opened the lid of the box. With a flick of your index finger, the soft, sweet and greasy lipstick appears on your fingertips.
Keqing looked at this scene in a daze, Yurong looked a little stunned, why did the prince use his finger to apply lipstick?Before he had time to ask, Shui Rong was already approaching, but Qing subconsciously avoided it, but unexpectedly Shui Rong grabbed him with his left hand.
"My lord, what are you doing?" Keqing opened her charming eyes and became angry. She shook her head slightly, trying to get rid of the restraint, but in vain.
Shui Rong didn't pay attention to Keqing's annoyance. He stroked it with his left hand, feeling the softness of Keqing's jaw. When treating Keqing, he had to show a domineering attitude.
Keqing stared at the hot water in front of her, and was surprised. The prince had always been upright and courteous, gentle and elegant. At most, he only held her hand and did not do any other transgressive actions. How could he be so abrupt and different from the past? Are these two the "dressed beasts" in the book? But Keqing wasn't upset at all, instead there was an unknown throbbing in her heart.
Shuiluo didn't know the changes in Keqing's heart. He stroked his index finger with lipstick and applied it carefully on Keqing's cherry lips. The rose red lipstick was evenly applied on Keqing's cherry lips. The color was bright and as attractive as a cherry. Involuntarily, Shui Rong leaned down again.
Ke Qing felt the moisture on her lips, her delicate body was half soft, the curved eyelashes on her bright eyes trembled downwards, she gently raised her soft eyebrows, hugged Shuiluo's waist, and raised her head slightly.
Shui Rong noticed the slightly clumsy Xiang Jin and couldn't help but feel surprised. He knew that Ke Qing was so shy that she would feel uneasy even if she held her little hand. How could she take the initiative?It can only be said that what the verdict said is true, and the signs of being "good at wind and moon" have already appeared After a while, Keqing sat sideways on the Luohan bed, covering her face with a fan in her hand. Her cheeks were as red as clouds and as red as blood, and she felt a little uneasy in her heart.
How could she take the initiative to cater to her? The prince would not dislike her! ! ! !
Shui Rong didn't notice Ke Qing's strangeness. He pursed his lips and savored the sweetness of cherries. Unlike jasmine, peach blossoms were even sweeter. I understood Jia Baoyu's happiness.
