[Red Mansion] This world is a bit chaotic

A few days later, Prince Qing asked the prince to go to Prince Qing's mansion again. The prince said he was sick and did not go. Wei Beicui, who happened to be at home on school holidays, took his younger brother Wei Xiling and went there.

Prince Qing saw that it was Wei Beicui and Wei Xiling who came, and he was a little unhappy, but he himself only wanted to put pressure on the emperor to make him unhappy, it was the same for anyone who came, as long as his words were conveyed to the emperor's ears.

Moreover, facing Wei Beicui and Wei Xiling, Prince Qing could relax a bit.His four sons found out about what he did to poison his wife back then. Although he always looked tough and acted like I was right, he was actually guilty, so when facing his son, He will be particularly strong and irritable to conceal his essence of being strong on the outside but doing nothing on the inside.

But Wei Beicui and Wei Xiling were born several years after that incident, and they had never experienced or knew the truth. When Prince Qing faced them, he was not so guilty and short-tempered, and his whole person was much more peaceful.

Princess Qing was also sitting at the side, kindly peeling fruit for Wei Beicui and his brothers to eat.

If the prince or a few princes were here, they would definitely not touch the things that Prince Qing touched, but Wei Beicui didn't mind, so he treated her as a serving maid and asked her to peel whatever she wanted to eat.Seeing his second elder brother acting like this, Wei Xiling imitated the example. He is still young and doesn't understand the kindness and resentment between adults, but he also knows that he doesn't need to be polite or rude to the old woman in front of him. will be punished.

Princess Qing peeled two fruits for them in order to show her affinity. Now that she is being tricked by the two children, she feels unhappy.

"Why didn't the prince come?" Princess Qing pretended to be kind and authentic, "But you think our place is not good?" Princess Qing knew very well what Prince Qing was most concerned about. He always thought that the emperor took away his throne. And the prince will be the next beneficiary, so he is most resentful towards the emperor and the prince.If the crown prince still dislikes Prince Qing's mansion, then he really touched his back.

"Brother is sick." Wei Beicui grabbed another orange that Princess Qing had peeled and ate it. "It's been a few days. The last time I promised to take me and Xiao San'er to swim in the lake today, it didn't work out. Tell him to pay me twice." Wei Beicui looked heartless, not looking like he was making excuses at all.

Princess Qing had nothing to say for a moment.

On the contrary, Wei Beicui had something to say: "However, speaking of it, how do you feel that there are... a lot of things missing in this mansion? It's really not a good look. I remember that when I came last time, there were two big people in the hall. The vase, taller than me, is very beautiful, why is it gone now? There are also coral ornaments, jade tigers carved there, many things are gone.”

Prince Qing's complexion suddenly became ugly, and Princess Qing was also embarrassed for a while, not only what Wei Beicui said, there are many missing things in the palace.

When the emperor and the princes send new year gifts to the mansion, they hardly send real money. They are all food, cloth and leather, and all kinds of precious ornaments and antiques. The palace is usually supplied by the imperial court, and there is no need for food, clothing, housing and transportation. You need to spend yourself, and you have the prince's salary, and you don't need to go around to give gifts. The logic is that you should accumulate more and more wealth, but now in this hall, on the Duobao Pavilion, it looks shabby.

Where did things go?It wasn't that he was hit and fell, but because there was not much money in the mansion, Wei Shaoda was asked to sell it and squander it, and the reason for the rest of the money was because it was for the imperial use, and outsiders dared not accept it.

Prince Qing's feelings for Wei Shaoda's son are also very complicated. After all, he did not hesitate to poison his wife for the sake of Prince Qing, and his feelings are quite deep. He was full of expectations for this son. Filial piety, to prove that his choice back then was not wrong.

But the psychological gap after losing the power and throne made him resent even Prince Qing and Princess Qing, let alone this son who was born early and lost the right to inherit and achieved nothing?

As Wei Shaoda grew up, he became more and more dandy and unpromising, Prince Qing felt that his face was painfully beaten.In fact, occasionally when people can't sleep in the dead of night, he would also think, did he do something wrong? If what happened back then hadn't happened, can he continue to be emperor or abdicate to let his grandchildren do what he wants now?But if there are no ifs in everything, he will never lose face and admit that he was wrong. As soon as the sun rises, he will suppress the little regret he once had in his heart and never let it show up.

Prince Qing is getting older now, and his health is deteriorating, and he can no longer summon up the strength to punch and kick Princess Qing, but Princess Qing's complexion is better now than before.To be honest, she sometimes wondered if her life would be easier if Prince Qing died.

But she also knows that she can live in the prince's mansion and live a rich life now because of the existence of Prince Qing. If Prince Qing is gone, at most she will follow her daughter Wei Shaojie to live in the Viscount's mansion and enjoy the salary of Viscount Wei Shaojie And treatment, in the final analysis, although the salary of the title is rich, it is not enough for people like them. At that time, the emperor and the princes will no longer be able to give them filial gifts.

Another one, because Wei Shaoda squandered too many things in Prince Qing's mansion that should have belonged to Wei Shaojie, Wei Shaojie even hated Princess Qing, thinking that Princess Qing should not keep Wei Shaoda in the mansion, even if she was raised in the mansion Here, he shouldn't let him squander her things at will.

Therefore, Princess Qing thought, no matter what, before Prince Qing died, she would always leave a way out for herself and arrange for Wei Shaoda's future - Wei Shaojie would never support Wei Shaoda again.

Therefore, she carelessly flattered Prince Qing, played all kinds of emotional cards, and said that Wei Shaoda had not yet been able to get married. What was said was the contempt and deliberate oppression of Prince Qing and Wei Shaoda by the emperor's brothers, otherwise he would not be dignified. The prince's son couldn't even make a compromise to the point of marrying the daughter of a fifth-rank official. She didn't want Wei Shaoda to marry the granddaughter of the court elder like a prince, but just wanted to marry Wei Shaoda a good wife and take care of him. Life will be worry-free in the future.

Nearly 20 years of getting along, from deep affection to fist-fighting, Princess Qing is too aware of Prince Qing's rebellion, and she describes all the troubles as the emperor's secret suppression, and the contempt for her by the court wives , The contempt for Wei Shaoda's character was said to be disrespect and contempt for Prince Qing, which made Prince Qing call the prince and make such unreasonable demands.He just wants to let those who despise him see that as long as he speaks, even the crown prince must obediently give up his fiancée, his son, even if he is an illegitimate child without the right to inherit, he can still praise him .

But in fact, he couldn't, he didn't even know that his princess was still thinking about something else.

Seeing Wei Beicui's words, Prince Qing reminded Prince Qing of Wei Shaoda's prodigal family, and hurriedly said: "I'm ashamed to say, we don't know how to run a business. The money in this mansion is not enough, so we sold some things..." As he spoke His eyes were red, he clutched the handkerchief in embarrassment, and gave Wei Beicui and his brothers a grievous look.

Wei Beicui looked at Prince Qing's behavior amusedly. Speaking of which, this person is not yet forty, about the same age as his mother's queen, but he looks much older, and these years have been difficult.

But even so, it can be seen that this person should have been quite beautiful and charming when he was young, but such a wronged and tearful appearance should be able to touch a man's heart, but it's a pity, the two brothers are young My child, I can't appreciate the amorous feelings of such an old lady.

"How could it be?" Wei Beicui pretended to be surprised, "The monthly salary that the father gave to the grandfather's house was three times the normal amount, and the daily expenses of rice, grain, vegetables, meat and meat were all the best things from the father's private treasury. If my grandfather lacks anything, just tell the official who sent the monthly case. How can I not use the antique collection at home? This is a treasure specially collected by my father and uncles. Last time, the jade tiger was carved by the second uncle. I bought it at a high price from a sea merchant, and I like it very much, but the second emperor uncle said that he was filial to his grandfather, so I didn't dare to take it. These are all priceless things. Where did the princess sell them? Let someone find out , Could it be that you were coaxed by someone, or that something you bought was coaxed by someone to raise the price maliciously?"

Like answering questions in class, Wei Xiling raised her hand and shouted: "I know, I know, they must be the two identical sisters who played the piano in the garden. They are beautifully dressed, with a lot of beautiful clothes on their heads. Their headdresses and clothes are also shiny and fluttering. The guqin they play with looks very precious. Last time Haoer wanted to buy a violin as a gift for his sister, and the money on both of us together was not enough. I didn’t even buy it. They also smell good on their bodies, so they must have put on a lot of powder. I used to hear from my fourth aunt that girls need to be pampered, and it takes a lot of money to raise younger sisters. These two older sisters look better than younger sisters. It's much better, my younger sister doesn't wear gold and silver, so it must cost more than raising my younger sister."

"What sister?" Prince Qing asked.Wei Xiling said that the two sisters were definitely not his daughter Wei Shaojie, and these two children were called Wei Shaojie, but they were always called aunts.

"It's the two sisters we met in the garden when we came here. They look exactly the same, but they are so beautiful, just like what the master said about flowers...flowers...beautiful!"

"Pa..." A chestnut hit Wei Xiling's head, and Wei Beicui said, "What nonsense are you talking about, Master taught you such an idiom?"

Wei Xiling held his head aggrievedly: "Did I say something wrong?"

Wei Beicui said: "Of course it's wrong. How can a serious girl be described like this? Change to another one and see if you are lazy in school. If you are not right, you will be punished to write big characters when you go back tonight."

"Wow, flowers... flowers... fiery trees and silver flowers? Red flowers and willows? Green flowers? Showy? Flowers are rich?" Seeing that Wei Beicui kept raising his hands and making a gesture of knocking his head, Wei Xiling had to rack his brains, "And there are... …Ah, by the way, the rhetoric, the heavy make-up, the overwhelming fragrance, the broken flowers, the willows, and the beauty are as beautiful as a hundred flowers blooming..."

After finishing talking, he held his head to see if his brother wanted to hit him.

Wei Beicui smiled secretly, but sighed on his face: "That's all, at least I'm right, so I'll let you go."

"Which... which one is right?" After talking for a while, Wei Xiling forgot what he said.

"Beautiful as a flower, this is a good description." Wei Bei said brightly, but no one knew what kind of specific image "like a flower" was in his heart.

Princess Qing was on the side, but she gritted her teeth angrily. She was sure that the two brothers had something to say, and they used words to humiliate her and the sisters of the Zhen family.

But when the two brothers sang together, Wei Xiling uttered a lot of irrelevant idioms, such as "fire trees and silver flowers, flowers bloom riches and honor", but there were words like "remnant flowers and willows, heavy makeup" mixed in, probably forced by children. If you talk nonsense in a hurry, how can you prove who he is targeting?

Moreover, after the conversation between the two of them, it seemed that the two girls from the Zhen family were not intentional, but Prince Qing was interested.

Prince Qing asked Prince Qing and Concubine Qing: "What's going on here?" Prince Qing stayed in Prince Qing's mansion all year round, rarely went out, and the most he saw were his wives, children and servants. His daughter, Wei Shaojie, was good at martial arts. She seldom dresses up and wears hairpins and jewelry, and because of Wei Shaoda's unscrupulous squandering of family property, she often quarrels with Princess Qing and Wei Shaoda.There is a son on one side and a daughter on the other, Prince Qing doesn't care about it, but now it sounds like two girls who don't know where came out to get the favor?Calling his son a scapegoat?
