I pretend to be a unicorn in the Red Mansion

The banquet organized by Wang Xifeng and Jia Min was indeed excellent.

The dishes were exquisite and delicious, the drinks were fragrant and tasty, the opera was wonderful, the guests all got along well, and a joyful atmosphere filled the entire banquet.

This feast made Hongli and Hongzhou very satisfied. They were happy doing anything as long as they were with Jia Cheng.

Looking at Jia Cheng's face and smelling his fresh fragrance, Hongli and Hongzhou happily ate two more bowls of rice.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, they played until nightfall and were then sent back to Prince Yong's Palace.

The time they spent in Rongguo Mansion was extremely pleasant, but when they returned to the palace, they felt a little uneasy.

As expected, as soon as they stepped into the palace gate, Su Peisheng invited them to the study.

Hongli even felt a dull pain in his buttocks, as if he had foreseen the punishment he was about to face.

However, unexpectedly, Yinzhen did not blame them too much, but instead asked about the affairs of Rongguo Mansion.

He showed particular interest in Jia Cheng's situation.

Yinzhen was keenly aware of the emperor's special feelings for Jia Cheng, and that this person might be the key to his obtaining the throne.

Yinzhen received news from the palace that after Jia Cheng returned home today, the Emperor seemed to dislike everyone, and none of the concubines in the harem were spared and all were punished.

Not only that, the ministers who met the emperor that day were also reprimanded.

Even the usually doted Seventeenth Prince was glared at by the Emperor just because he cried too loudly.

Yinzhen's mind was full of thoughts. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly realized that the reason why the emperor was angry was that he was reluctant to let Jia Cheng leave!

Thinking of this, Yinzhen couldn't help but have some ideas in his mind.

Jia Cheng is favored by the emperor and has a close relationship with Hongli as a master and a disciple, so he should stand on his side.

This is a great help.

Yinzhen knew this very well, so he did not stop Hongli from making friends with Jia Cheng. He even gave strong support and encouraged Hongli.

Yinzhen said a bunch of half-truths, which made Hongli and Hongzhou feel dizzy.

Yinzhen looked at the two dull faces and lost interest in talking, so he let the two brainless people leave.

Hongli was very confused about this. He always felt that his father seemed to be planning something, but he couldn't figure it out for the time being.

However, he didn't have time to care too much at the moment. After all, it was a blessing to be spared a punishment. What Ama said should be a good thing.

Originally, my father didn't allow me to get too close to my junior fellow apprentice, but now he wants me to build a good relationship with him. I guess I'm following orders to make friends.

Although Hongli was happy, he still felt something was wrong.

He suppressed his doubts and decided to observe the situation later.

Compared with Hongli's suspicion, Hongzhou's thoughts were much simpler.

Seeing that his father did not blame him, he went back to his room happily to rest with satisfaction.

The banquet at Rongguo Mansion was finally over. Jia Cheng sat on the chair. His originally big round eyes seemed to be glued shut and he couldn't open them no matter what.

Jia She looked at his beloved son with heartache and carefully picked him up from the chair.

While gently rocking the little person in his arms, he gestured to the people around him who were holding their breath and dared not speak, signaling them to keep quiet so as not to wake Jia Cheng up.

Afterwards, Jia She carried Jia Cheng away from the banquet and returned to the room to let him have a good rest.

After Jia Cheng left, Yingchun couldn't help but pat her chest.

The room suddenly became silent, which really scared her.

But when she looked carefully, she found that it was Cheng Ge'er who was sleepy and fell asleep.

Brother Cheng was jumping up and down like a little monkey just now, very lively, but in the blink of an eye he fell asleep. It turns out that he is still a child!

Yingchun couldn't help but reveal a kind smile on her face, which was totally inconsistent with her age.

With the departure of the young protagonist Jia Cheng, everyone's interest in talking obviously faded.

Then, everyone dispersed and went about their own business.

Because Jia's mother was in a good mood, she didn't feel tired at first, but when the joy passed, she felt exhausted all over.

The new maid Yuanyang was quite perceptive. Upon seeing this, she immediately stepped forward to support Lady Jia and sent her back to her room.

When serving Lady Jia, Yuanyang was very thoughtful and considerate. Although she was still young, she was very efficient and effective in her work, which won Lady Jia's favor.

The other maids saw that Yuanyang was reliable and they all highly recognized her.

Jin Yuanyang's parents both worked in the Rongguo Mansion, but they were ordinary servants and were not favored by their master.

So compared to Li Yuanyang's fearless arrogance, Jin Yuanyang is very steady.

After a large number of maids in Lady Jia's room were released to get married, a new group of maids were added to replace their names.

Among them, the new Yuanyang was a born child of the Jia family, and the new Zhenzhu was bought from outside.

Jia She had sold a large number of servants before, and the number of people left was just the right size for a first-class general's mansion, and was just enough to support these people.

However, unexpectedly, Jia She was suddenly canonized as Marquis of Rongguo, and Jia Cheng was also canonized as Earl of Rui'an.

As a result, the servants serving in the mansion seemed to be short-handed and unable to support such a grand occasion.

Since there were not enough servants in the Rongguo Mansion, as they had all been sold one by one by Jia She, they had to purchase from outside.

Although Pearl is still young, she looks quite mature and steady.

Her ordinary and gentle face was deeply loved by Lady Jia, so she was lucky enough to be sold to the Rongguo Mansion instead of being sent to a brothel.

Zhenzhu serves Lady Jia with all her heart and soul, just like a pair of mandarin ducks.

She knew very well that only by winning the old lady's favor could she live a stable life.

Only after Lady Jia fell asleep did Zhenzhu return to her servant's room.

She gently closed her eyes and took a short rest, but Jia Cheng's handsome face involuntarily appeared in front of her eyes.

Master Cheng Sanye was really handsome and talented, like a banished immortal from heaven.

Although Master Bao is also handsome, wealthy and well-rounded, he still seems to be slightly inferior to Master Cheng.

Zhenzhu secretly compared Jia Cheng with Jia Baoyu, and gradually developed a special feeling for Jia Cheng.

She was only nine years old, only three years older than Jia Cheng.

At this moment, a thought suddenly flashed through my mind: "A girl who is three years older than me will bring me gold bricks."

Zhenzhu couldn't help but blush, and Jia Cheng's figure lingered more and more in her mind.

She thought that the scent on Master Cheng San was really pleasant, but she didn't know what kind of incense it was.

The scent intoxicated her.

Not only Zhenzhu was thinking about Jia Cheng, but everyone else was also thinking about Jia Cheng after they returned home.

Ping'er supported Wang Xifeng and walked slowly back. Wang Xifeng was smiling all the way, thinking in her heart how to ask Cheng'er to promote Jia Lian.

What's the point of being a county magistrate in a small place? You still have to become an official in Beijing.

Jia Cheng is now in the emperor's favor. He will have to go to the palace every five days to study with the princes, and will have many opportunities to see the emperor.

As long as Jia Lian is mentioned a little bit and leaves a good impression on the emperor, promotion and wealth will be easy to come by.

The more Wang Xifeng thought about it, the happier she became. Her hand touching her belly became more and more gentle. "Ping'er, do you think this baby in my belly is a lucky star? Everything has been going smoothly since I got pregnant with him."

Ping'er is very rational. She thinks that the real lucky star is Master Cheng Sanye. Without Master Cheng Sanye's prescription, the Second Wife would not be able to get pregnant, let alone the lucky star.

Besides, isn’t it all due to Third Master Cheng that everything is going well in the mansion?

However, she knew it in her heart but would not say it out loud. After all, she worked under Wang Xifeng, and her life and death were in Wang Xifeng's hands, so she could only keep it to herself.

Ping Erh then echoed, "Second Madam, the young master must be very lucky.

Our Rongguo Mansion is a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery. The fact that the young master can be born into your belly is definitely extraordinary.

I will definitely be able to become an official in the future and earn you a first-class imperial title."

Wang Xifeng was so happy that she smiled happily. She couldn't help thinking to herself, "The baby in my belly must be something from a pond!"

Even Jia Baoyu, a man who didn't like studying, indulged in fun and didn't work hard, was born with a jade in his mouth. Everyone said he was very lucky.

Then, wouldn’t a child who can bring good luck to the family before he is born be a greater blessing?

Wang Xifeng gently stroked her bulging belly, her eyes full of pampering and love, and whispered softly: "My child, you must strive to be good in the future and bring honor to your mother!

Your future will definitely be limitless, far better than Baoyu and Jia Cheng. Mother will pave the way for you and establish good relationships with your uncles.

In the future, these two people will be your stepping stones to success, helping you climb the ladder to the sky."

At this moment, Wang Xifeng's eyes flickered, and she was calculating in her mind how to gain more benefits from Jia Cheng and Jia Baoyu.

Of course, Jia Baoyu was just a bonus, and the one that Wang Xifeng really felt was valuable was Jia Cheng.

As Jia Yuanchun is Wang Xifeng's cousin, the two have surprisingly similar ideas.

Jia Yuanchun was also calculating her two younger brothers in her mind. Jia Baoyu was just a by-product, and the one who really made her feel useful was Jia Cheng.

Seeing today that Hongli, Hongzhou and Jia Cheng have such a good relationship, Jia Yuanchun's hope was rekindled.

Although she could not enter the palace, if by chance she came into contact with Prince Yong, she could enter Prince Yong's Mansion.

It’s okay to marry the prince, even as a concubine.

She believed that she would be favored by virtue of her appearance and means.

Prince Yong has two concubines available, but there is currently only one concubine, Li, in the palace. Jia Yuanchun is currently eyeing this concubine's position.

Years home.

Nian Xialing stared at Nian Gengyao with a dull look, and said to the pretty woman next to him:

"Prince Yong is currently on the rise, he is the Crown Prince's confidant, and he is also our flag master. It would be best for You Ran to marry Prince Yong.

I still have some face now, You Ran can enter the palace as a concubine, and don't contact the Eighth Master anymore."

Although Nian Gengyao was unwilling, he had no choice but to make this choice. He had not been optimistic about Prince Yong, but who knew that the deposed crown prince would be reinstated.

Now the Nian family can no longer secretly flirt with the Eighth Master. They can only cling to the Fourth Master to protect the Nian family.

The Nian family is determined to obtain the position of Prince Yong’s concubine.
