[The Grand View Garden Chronicle of the Imperial Harem] Chapter 102: Unintentionally, the boudoir's fragrant couch reveals the source of trouble; at the Fragrant Herb Banquet, she intentionally avoids suspicion.

Chapter 102: Unintentionally, the Root of Trouble is Spoken at the Boudoir; At the Feast
of Fragrant Herbs, Suspected Misunderstandings are Avoided. Now, let us speak of Xue Baoqin, the youngest daughter of the Xue family. Though in the prime of her youth, innocent and unparalleled, exquisitely beautiful and pure ,
she was ultimately bound by fate and could not escape the ravages of love. In her own boudoir, she lost her virginity, was raped and humiliated, and
served her master Hongzhou with her mouth, breasts, and delicate body, twice releasing her pent-up desire. Truly, beauty is fleeting, her youthful bloom met with madness.
It is lamentable that Baoqin was also a fool. Perhaps it was Hongzhou's brief tenderness and consideration that touched her heart, or perhaps it
was the innate tenderness of a young woman towards the man who had taken her virginity. Though ashamed, her heart was
filled with tender desire, wishing she could melt into Hongzhou's body. After Hongzhou ejaculated twice, his lover had
thoroughly violated her body, which had been pure and immaculate just an hour earlier, leaving it flushed and swirling with pleasure. Both men were exhausted
and dazed, but she was the first to regain her senses. Forgetting her shame and pain, she feared that her body was defiled
and would spoil her master's pleasure. She servilely begged Hongzhou if she could get up and clean themselves for them.
Hongzhou, without much thought, teased her gently, saying, "Could it be that at such a young age, you still
have a former lover in the manor you can't let go of?"
This startled Baoqin, her face flushed, and she repeatedly stammered in her childish voice, "No…"
"...Master...where did you go...Qin'er...that's not true...how could Qin'er dare..." She stammered
, her words tumbling out incoherently. Looking up, she saw Hongzhou's amused expression and realized he was teasing her. She spoke softly and aggrievedly,
not daring to hide her thoughts, replying, "Master...Qin'er, a child, wouldn't
dare lie to you about the little things in her heart. My parents arranged my marriage to the Mei family, a scholar from Jiangnan. Such matters naturally
must be done according to parental wishes. Qin'er has thought about the virtues of a woman, about being a good wife and mother, and has secretly thought about that Young Master Mei, wondering
what kind of person he is...but that was all in my childhood. I was supposed to marry him at sixteen
, but I never even met the entire family...Later, later, something happened in the clan, and no
one mentioned it again. Now...how could I dare to think such things?" Thinking back to those events; and even the smallest things, I dare not lie
. My aunt once joked with me, saying that the old lady here had considered marrying me to Bao Yu, the young master of this mansion
, but it was just a fleeting thought
. Once she found out I was already engaged, she let it go… I dare not lie to my master. Bao Yu was the precious son of the mansion in the past. I've seen him a few times, but he's just a mischievous child, handsome but
really just a pretty face… nothing more. Now that I'm in the garden, Qin'er is my master's person. Unless… unless
my master decrees that Qin'er be given away, Qin'er will have no choice but to obey and endure the humiliation. She certainly wouldn't dare to resist. Otherwise, Qin'er
would rather die right now than think of any other man.”
Although Hong Zhou was absurd, he was also a clever man. He could hear the rare hint of world-weariness in her words, and nodded,
saying, “That's true… in your clan…” "This has gone wrong. I imagine the Xu family has naturally fled. Your former
Baoyu, from the Jia family, was handsome and had some connections. The adults doted on him, knowing he was the most outstanding among the younger generation of the Jia family,
with a good personality and appearance. It's common for girls not to dislike him. Let alone you, even your sister, your Lin sister,
probably thought about 'Baoyu' or 'Baojin'... This is just the way of the world. Once you're in the garden, just be a
good, obedient slave to me. Your Feng sister and Qing sister already have husbands; I don't care about such things
... So why are you still thinking about it? Are you afraid your master will punish you?" He thought for a moment, then pressed further
, "You girls, some young, some old, some beautiful, some plain, should have been sent to the frontier to suffer
. Since you've been rescued, you're my playthings. I won't easily give them to others. Even Consort Qing... I can't say... " "I
'm afraid that even if there were any shameful things, she would only be allowed to commit suicide. The only one your master has dealt with like this is that
little hussy from the You family. After she entered the garden, she committed adultery with an outsider. Not to mention her body, even her mind was on that outsider.
How can we not deal with her severely? I suppose this matter has frightened you... But back in the Ningrong clan, you were
a wealthy relative in the West Mansion, while that little sister from the You family was a poor relative in the East Mansion. You... do you know each other? Is that something to be so
afraid of..."
Baoqin was also taken aback by the question, and then said, "Replying to my master... I don't know that little sister from the You family.
I was just a child who didn't know any better and was just having wild thoughts... My master doesn't need to take it to heart... My body has already
been given to my master, and from now on, I will naturally be at your disposal... Whatever my master thinks is best for me is best
..." As she spoke, she became sad again.
Hongzhou sensed her peculiar inner turmoil and simply tilted his head to kiss her forehead, coaxing her like a child
, "Don't dodge the question. You've already served me... according to old sayings, you're branded with my
mark, you're my person now... whatever you're thinking, even if it's absurd, you should tell me. You're so
young, naturally you're just having wild thoughts, I won't blame you. Besides... sincerity is paramount, even if you don't
understand, even if it's a small matter, if your master asks, you should rack your brains to answer, not stammer... Didn't your sister
and sister-in-law teach you that?"
Baoqin glanced at Hongzhou again before timidly saying, "It's... it's just some random thoughts. Even my sister
hasn't mentioned it... actually, it's just the maids gossiping, and I overheard them... it's nothing more than
... it's..." As she finished speaking, the young girl's face fell, and she lowered her head, unable to continue.
Hongzhou patted her hair and said, "Just tell the truth... Little girl, you love to gossip. It's always been like
this. Here you are a sex slave, but in front of them you are a master. You should have the magnanimity of a master."
Baoqin swallowed hard and said, "Yes... the maids are talking nonsense... saying that Master has 'different interests,'
that he likes... likes... torturing girls for amusement. So sometimes... he has to take advantage of girls for the... servants outside
, and Master is actually happy. Qin'er was a little scared after hearing this..." …That Miss You…was taken out
of the garden, and the maids are gossiping behind her back, saying she was…suffered…”
Hongzhou chuckled, giving her a playful slap on the buttocks, and said, “It’s a waste that you’re
so clever. Miss You is guilty; it’s true that your master gave her to us servants to play with, and I suppose she’s already
been dealt with…but since she’s out of the garden, how could the maids in the garden know what happened to her?”
"Such a small rumor... and you can't even see through it?"
Baoqin tilted her head and thought for a moment, then twisted in Hongzhou's arms before softly saying, "Qin'er knows it's
just my own overthinking. Master... Qin'er has a thought that no one knows... Master says to be honest, so
I have no choice but to tell you. But... I'm afraid of hurting others... so I'm begging you not to suspect me... It's all
just that Qin'er is young and doesn't understand, and is just overthinking. If it hurts others, it will be Qin'er's fault."
Hongzhou already knew that Baoqin could be quite bold at times, and hearing her speak like an adult with such seriousness made him
suspicious, so he nodded and smiled, "Just tell me... Could it be that your master and you..." "So, you overheard a few words of gossip and
started to overthink things?"
Baoqin said softly, "A few months ago... Qin'er was in the garden... it seemed... it seemed... that a man was
secretly peeking at me."
Hongzhou was taken aback, then laughed and said, "Where would such a thing be? There are no men in this garden these days. Could it be
some eunuch?"
Baoqin said, "I'm afraid Qin'er is just being paranoid... That day, my maid and I were walking across the Bee Waist Bridge. We
had already crossed the bridge, and I didn't pay attention. It was my maid, Li'er, who told Qin'er that just now... there was a male official there,
and it seemed like he was peeking at Qin'er... Qin'er is bold, and after hearing that, she was scared... so she secretly peeked behind the bridge pier..."
…Although I couldn't see clearly, there really was an official… looking shifty, and later he even sneaked into the Yi Hong Courtyard
… It was all because Li'er, that girl with the bad mouth, joked with Qin'er, saying that the official was the master's favorite servant,
and the master was very generous in rewarding him; Miss You was given to him… He looked at Qin'er, maybe he liked Qin'er, and
the master rewarded him; one day Qin'er might be given to that servant… Perhaps that's Qin'er's destiny… Hmm… That was just
Li'er and Qin'er joking, but for some reason, Qin'er felt that the official's eyes were shifty when he looked at her
… The more she thought about it, the more scared she became… scared… scared… Waaah… In short, it was all Qin'er's own fault for making trouble for herself, overthinking
… Master, please don't take it to heart… "It's on my mind."
Hongzhou then understood. It must have been when he wasn't in the garden that Feng Ziying went in to report to Fengjie and run errands. On the way,
she encountered Baoqin and her maid passing by and stole a glance at Baoqin. He feared that the young maid, being so careless, had
joked with Baoqin, saying things like, "That official saw you, and the master might reward you to him, I'm afraid that's all possible..."
This young girl, after all, had planted a seed of delusion in her heart and taken it seriously. She was afraid that a single glance would lead to a tragic relationship, and that he might reward her with an
official position. That's why she had this infatuated thought, and even on the verge of losing her virginity, she was still begging him, "Just rape and kill her, don't
punish her..."
After hearing this, he knew it was nothing more than the wild thoughts of a young girl in the garden, which was why he wanted to laugh and comfort Baoqin
. But upon closer reflection, he also felt a little uneasy... He couldn't
quite put his finger on what it was. For a moment, she couldn't help but scold Feng Ziying for not knowing his place, wandering around the garden when she wasn't
there; for a moment, she regretted handing You Sanjie over to Feng Ziying without even questioning her;
for a moment, she couldn't help but feel sorry for Baoqin's infatuation; for a moment, she also vaguely felt that something else was amiss; for a moment, she vaguely thought of Keqing, and for a moment, she
vaguely thought of Fengjie... and felt that there seemed to be some connection. It took her a while to come to her senses, and she laughed, "I told you
, you were just overthinking things. That's a servant of your master from the Imperial Household Department, someone who comes into the garden to run
errands for your sister Feng. He should have avoided you if he happened to see you; even if he stole a few glances, although it's a sin, it's only
human nature. Xiao Qin'er is so beautiful and has such a slender figure, it's inevitable that men would look at her a few more times, it's nothing
... As for him... in your master's eyes, what does official rank matter... um... he's a capable servant,
but not a pillar of society, just someone who does odd jobs for your master." They could be called "hounds and lackeys." You
study with your sister, do you understand? A master's hounds and lackeys who are capable deserve a good reward. That's right, that little hussy from the You family
was dealt with by him. It's a reward for him... However, you lot... are not raw meat, but rather like
my beloved playthings, elegant antiques, and prized calligraphy and paintings. These things are only for refined people to keep for their own enjoyment
. How could I give antiques, calligraphy, paintings, and playthings to my hounds and lackeys? Wouldn't that be a waste and a squandering of precious things?"
He said this as he went along, merely analyzing and comforting Baoqin, but he vaguely felt even more uneasy.
He was a dissolute prince, a womanizer and a libertine, which was unusual. According to the customs of the time,
it was common practice to bestow a few of his sex slaves upon his retainers for their pleasure… Thinking of this, he felt even more reluctant, as if Feng Ziying
were already kneeling before him, begging him to bestow upon him Feng, Chai, Dai, Yun, and the precious zither in his arms. He couldn't help but
feel waves of inexplicable anger and jealousy, holding the zither even tighter, as if afraid someone would snatch it away. Realizing he was
only making trouble for himself, he changed his tone, saying, “Don't think nonsense… My
word is my bond. I said I would bestow a favor upon you, and I mean it. I'll give you…” "Tern, no matter what mistakes our little Baoqin makes in this life, she will only
be executed, not released outside, and not rewarded... This rule still applies... Never mind... Go to the door
and shout loudly... Call the maids to serve her..."
Baoqin, being young and innocent, was relieved upon hearing this, and got off the bed with a smile through her tears, swaying shyly towards
the door... Hongzhou looked at Baoqin's jade-like naked body, specks of white fluid on it, her "beauty and lust" stained with many marks, and
it was a wonder that the young lady was so strong that she could still walk; her little buttocks were plump and bouncy, making her even more adorable...
He felt a little uneasy, but he let it go for a moment. Sure
enough, Yuanyang and the others were indeed waiting outside the courtyard gate. Baoqin got off the bed naked, went to the door, and shouted in her childish voice
. Yuanyang, Jinchuan, Yuchuan, and Ruiguan all responded and came in to serve her. The four women, who had been with Hongzhou
for quite some time, were all sensible. Seeing Hongzhou and Baoqin in such a disheveled state, they knew the poor girl had
been defiled and raped, and dared not look too long, lest they shame Baoqin. Instead, they acted as if nothing had happened and helped the two men tidy up. Ruiguan
and Yuanyang, worried that Baoqin was cold, wrapped her in a quilt and gently comforted her, taking her out to bathe and apply medicine. Jinchuan and
Yuchuan hurriedly took clean inner and outer garments from their personal trunks and washed and changed Hongzhou
.
In the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Hongzhou changed his clothes, braided his hair, and tidied himself up. He then left with two servants.
Baoqin went outside from her boudoir and saw a crescent moon already above the treetops, making the withered grass on the snow appear even more lustrous. Seeing that
it was already evening, she felt a pang of hunger and went to the front hall. Sure enough, there were
those who knew her comfort; Baochai, along with several maids and servants including Ying'er and Wenxing, had prepared a hot pot, several
dishes, a pot of rice wine, and a warm, casual dress, kneeling gracefully to serve her dinner. Seeing Hongzhou arrive with a smile
, Baochai suppressed her mixed feelings and kowtowed, asking, "Master, I was afraid you might be hungry, so
I've prepared dinner... Would you like to eat here? Or are you going somewhere else? And... would you like someone to keep you company?
Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, a very auspicious day... If you wish to have some fun, I'll have the maids call the
ladies from the garden to keep you company."
Hongzhou looked at her and noticed that she had changed her clothes, unlike her simple attire that morning. Her hair was adorned with a bright moon and jade hairpin,
and her elaborate magpie-themed hairstyle, though simple, added a touch of delicate charm. Two
small pearl earrings dangled from her ears, a golden rabbit fur scarf wrapped around her neck, and a cherry blossom gold necklace adorned her chest, giving her a
festive and luxurious air. She wore a pink fleece-lined, fitted long dress with peony and sunrise designs, over which she wore a
well-fitting, snow-white, fur-trimmed vest. Although it was winter clothing, it still managed to cover her exquisite figure. She was exceptionally
alluring and graceful, with a swaying waist, long, delicate legs, and a shapely bottom—a captivating beauty that defied description. Yet, she never strayed from
the proper etiquette of the garden; her dress obediently revealed a glimpse of her fair skin at the neckline, and
the deep cleavage between her two playful little breasts, like clouds and mist, hinted at a woman's allure at the slightly open neckline… Her demeanor was
gentle, her figure graceful, her expression shy yet dignified, and her speech modest and measured… truly a rare and captivating beauty in the garden
.
Hongzhou saw that she remained true to herself, her face flushing as she spoke, timidly seemingly wanting to say something but hesitant. Knowing
the sisters' close bond, he naturally wanted to ask Baoqin. Although it was the duty of the girls in the garden to serve him after being raped, and today's affair
was arranged by Baochai to amuse him, even Hongzhou felt
a strange sense of guilt when he realized he had just violated her younger sister's body, which was ultimately a form of defilement and abuse. He coughed to cover it up, then
sat down first, took Baochai's small hand, pulled her into his arms, and sat beside her, kissing her cheek. Not only
Baochai, but also Ying'er and Wenxing beside him were blushing with embarrassment. Hongzhou then laughed heartily, poured himself
half a cup of rice wine, drank it all in one gulp, poured another cup, and teased Baochai to take a sip as well, before saying softly, "Little Baochai,
you're just too good-natured… I suppose you want to ask about your sister?… Haha… Don't be alarmed… Hmm… Qin'er
… I just took advantage of her body. You can't blame me… It was all your doing… And our
Qin'er's appearance is truly captivating… Haha… Don't be afraid… Qin'er..." It's alright. She's just a little girl, I'm afraid she might
... get hurt... Let Yuanyang and the others take care of her and let her rest and take her medicine first... Later, you can comfort her and say that it wasn't
that I didn't want her to stay with me tonight. It was because I was afraid that since she's so soft and beautiful, if I couldn't resist
playing with her tonight... I might hurt her... She can rest for a few days and then I can take care of her again. I cherish her... In short, just say a few nice words
. Since it's already late, there's no need to call anyone else. It's kind of you to go to such lengths. "Arrangements... um
... I'm quite pleased. You'll have dinner with me, which will be like celebrating the New Year. And tonight... you'll serve me until I rest
... is that alright?"
Baochai was a gentle person. Although she felt pity and shame upon hearing that her cousin had been raped, and her heart
ached, she could see that Hongzhou was very satisfied. At this moment, she couldn't tell whether she felt sorrow or joy,
but she absolutely refused to spoil Hongzhou's mood. Hearing Hongzhou's gentle request for her to stay overnight, she lowered her head, played with her skirt, and said shyly:
"It's so kind of you, Master. You can do whatever you want...it's all our sisters' good fortune
..."
Hongzhou smiled and nodded, then took another bite of food. Finding the wine pleasant, he drank half a cup. Seemingly
remembering something, he added, "Later, send word in the garden...say that...I enjoyed Baoqin's body today. It's remarkable that
she's so young, yet so beautiful, sweet-smelling, and interesting. She knows shame but doesn't lose her
natural charm. I enjoyed it immensely. Although she's young, I didn't mistreat her. She's a young lady, so I'll
promote Baoqin to 'Miss'...she'll learn to serve well from now on, and naturally, she'll be even better. You...don't worry too much about Qin'er
. She's still young. Let her do what she wants, let her ask for whatever she wants, don't overthink it. And don't let your
imagination run wild...just say that I..." "Wang really likes her."
Although Baochai was intelligent and quiet, she was still just a teenage girl, and naturally, she couldn't help but have girlish
thoughts. Although she felt sorry for her younger sister being raped and defiled by her master, and wondered if her master had gotten pleasure from her sister,
hearing her master's tone of pleasure and affection as he spoke of raping his cousin, she felt
a pang of jealousy and heartache... Knowing Hongzhou's preferences, she didn't deliberately try to hide it. Unable to resist,
she adopted a girlish manner and teased, "...This is Qin's good fortune. To receive such
words from her master, it's all worth it. But I... am also a little troubled and jealous. I don't believe those who
are inferior to her are..." After saying the last sentence, she realized she had said something inappropriate and felt even more ashamed, so she lowered her head and didn't
dare to look at Hongzhou.
Hongzhou laughed heartily. The Xue sisters' gentle charm and alluring beauty had completely banished his worries of the past few days
. He couldn't resist gently rubbing Baochai's breasts and inhaling their fragrance. Baochai possessed a
remarkable quality: while still retaining her feminine virtues of modesty and chastity, she remained demure and submissive when her master took liberties with her,
daring not to resist in the slightest. Even with the maids watching, she obediently and deliberately puffed out her chest, enduring the shame as Hongzhou freely
touched her breasts… Hongzhou smugly fondled them for a while, then laughed and sipped some soup from her hands. Just then,
a figure peeked out from outside the doorway, seemingly a maid looking for an opportunity to speak. Hongzhou nodded in acknowledgment, and Baochai
smiled and said, "Just come in and say what you have to say..."
A girl entered from outside, not daring to raise her head, and knelt down to greet her, saying, "It's nothing urgent, I'm sorry to have bothered
you, Mistress... It was Consort Feng who sent Qiutong to report, and also brought some red coral velvet... I've already..."
She sent it back. But the red coral fleece hasn't been opened or used for several months, and now it's been delivered again… I wonder
if it's spoiled? Please advise, should we leave it? Perhaps we should cook a bowl tonight for… for
… Miss Qin to nourish her.
Baochai nodded and said softly with a smile, "This is hard on Sister Feng and Qiutong. They often think that I never
use these things... You can just accept it and have it stored in the storeroom. This red coral velvet is actually a kind of
grass growing on coral. People say it's incredibly nourishing and replenishing, but that's all hearsay. It's just that people are ignorant; seeing its bright red color
, they think it's nourishing and replenishing blood, which makes it extremely expensive, benefiting all sorts of merchants. In
fact, after reading countless medical texts, even Hua Tuo, Bian Que, Sun Simiao, and Li Shizhen, none of them could clearly explain what red coral velvet could
do... If it's considered precious, it's Sister Feng's idea, but we sisters are of lowly birth and don't
like these things at all. All medicines have some degree of poison, so..." " How dare you use ginseng and bird's nest without even asking about the symptoms... You can keep it
, but thank you for your kindness, Sister Feng... I'll go and thank you in person tomorrow."
The girl hurriedly replied, "Yes." Hongzhou, however, glanced at the girl kneeling on the ground, noticing her
slender figure, graceful posture, and bright eyes. He smiled and said, "You are... that Xiangling?"
Xiangling, hearing Hongzhou's question, shivered slightly but dared not raise her head. She remained kneeling and
whispered, "Yes... this servant is Xiangling from Hengwu Garden..." Hongzhou seemed unconcerned, only
saying, "What are you afraid of... raise your head..."
Xiangling had no choice but to raise her head as instructed, but she kept her eyes lowered, not daring to look directly at him, her heart pounding like a deer. Hongzhou
looked around and saw that her lips were still delicately fragrant, her black hair swaying in the moonlight, and most alluring of all was the rouge between her brows, a delicate
star among her eyebrows… Though not as stunning as the likes of Daiyu and Baochai, she was still a gentle and charming young woman, the rouge between her brows adding to her allure
and making her stand out. He suddenly remembered that day when he had seen Xiangling shyly undressing outside the Yihong Courtyard,
he had considered asking her to serve him in bed for his amusement. However, he then encountered Xichun presenting the painting and completely forgot about it.
He felt a little embarrassed, but it was a trivial matter to him, so he could only laugh self-deprecatingly and make conversation:
“You are Xue Da Shazi’s concubine… which makes you Bao’er’s sister-in-law… um… that day, when I met
Xichun, she was a young girl, and pitiful, and she needed your master’s help… so she neglected you.
Don’t feel wronged.”
In truth, this matter and these words had been troubling Xiangling for months. Her fate was unfortunate. Though she was
a daughter of a wealthy and scholarly family, she was abducted by human traffickers at a young age. When she reached puberty, the traffickers,
driven by greed, sold her to two families, leading to a murder. Ultimately, she fell into the hands of the foolish and domineering Xue Pan, where she was raped, defiled, and
made a concubine for his pleasure. When her clan suffered misfortune and she entered the Grand View Garden, although she felt gratitude towards
Xue Pan, she didn't feel particularly bitter… but having lost her virginity, she inevitably felt ashamed and often harbored feelings of inferiority.
That day, she encountered Hong Zhou, thinking that since her master was pleased, he should reward her with his body—this gentle man, with his long and passionate lovemaking
, should surely have some… but to her surprise, Hong Zhou had "forgotten." She herself was an innocent young woman, forced into prostitution
, begging to be raped, and yet she was treated with such contempt. The sorrow, shame, anger, heartbreak, and humiliation she felt were indescribable
… Furthermore, there was a hidden, unspeakable case that lingered in her mind. Hearing
Hongzhou say, “Don’t be wronged…” she felt as if her heart was being torn apart… Knowing she couldn’t bear the responsibility
, she remained silent.
Hongzhou’s words, not only brought tears to Xiangling’s eyes, but even Baochai felt she couldn’t bear it. Just as she
was about to rise to speak, Xiangling regained her composure and kowtowed heavily, saying, “Master… you’re too kind. Xiangling is not of any high status;
how could I dare to be wronged by such a small matter… I am content to serve my mistress well.” But she couldn’t stop
the tears from flowing.
Hongzhou, however, couldn't change his carefree and unrestrained nature. Now slightly intoxicated, he drank another cup of rice wine and
laughed, "If you're not bothered... tonight, I'll stay at your mistress's place, and you can come and serve me too, how about it?"
Xiangling felt dizzy, her face flushed and her heart pounding; she didn't even know what she replied. But then she heard Hongzhou
, emboldened by the alcohol, tapping the table, laughing, "Don't go out, just stay here and serve
... I'll talk to your mistress some more, then you can help us bathe and rest... You're a young
lady who's been chaste, why are you so shy..." He was now three-tenths drunk, turning to Baochai
and laughing, "Now that I think about it, this is the first time I've had another female slave accompany me... to rape my little Baochai..."
"...Although she's officially your sister-in-law, she's still someone who serves in your household... Can you bear this humiliation?"
Baochai's heart was in turmoil, her bright eyes misty, yet she seemed to grit her teeth as she leaned closer and
whispered in Hongzhou's ear, "Of course, I know how to be ashamed. I... have given myself to you,
and now I have to serve you alongside... the other sisters-in-law in your household. If people see this on the bed... wouldn't I be mortified? Besides,
I have to share this with you, Master... Even if you don't say anything, I'm still ashamed. But... this is my duty
... I don't care if you're ashamed, I only care if you're pleased. If you like it, then no matter
how ashamed I am, I'll do it. Even if it's with Xiangling, or even with Qin... or even with my
mother ..." "...It's just a whim of the master."
Hongzhou laughed heartily, hiccuped, and then, as if remembering something, said, "You are sensible, polite,
and capable of stirring the heart. Your mother is getting on in years, but she's quite the ladies' man. Qin'er... is young, but that's good. I
'm afraid I hurt her today, which is pitiful. Giving her the title of 'Miss' is a consolation... Of course, this is also
thanks to your and Li Wan's good upbringing. She should also be rewarded... Hmm... Li Wan has raised several girls with great difficulty, so she should also be promoted to 'Miss
.' She has always loved plum blossoms, so let's give her a nickname, 'Mr. Plum Blossom'... And... Consort Qing... is gone.
There's only one consort in the garden, Feng'er... Little Chai, what do you think... would it be alright for me to bestow another consort?"
Baochai shuddered, never expecting Hongzhou to ask such a question. No matter how elegant and virtuous she was, how
could she not know that Consort Qing had passed away and Feng'er held absolute power, which was not what Hongzhou desired? If he were to bestow another consort, regardless of...
In terms of favor, appearance, family background, manners, and rank, she was the most prominent. She knew this matter greatly offended
Feng Jie, but fortunately, she and Feng Jie were related through the sisters Xue Yima and Wang Furen, sharing a common lineage.
She deliberately remained accommodating, ignoring all affairs of the garden, spending her days discussing poetry and
Zen with Xiangyun and Miaoyu, refusing to stir up any further trouble. But now, Hongzhou had actually asked her directly. How could she not panic?
It was one thing for others, but she knew Hongzhou was not "absurd and ignorant." The affairs of the garden, in the end,
were merely trivial matters of jealousy and rivalry among Hongzhou's sex slaves, with a touch of sensual pleasure. This was why their mistress allowed everyone to
secretly stir up trouble. But Keqing's death clearly offended Hongzhou, and now, being asked about it, how could she not panic?
She stood there dumbfounded for a long time, unsure how to answer.
To find out what happens next, please wait for the next chapter.
Truly:
Beautiful women have always understood
the affairs of the state; Even emperors may not surpass the beauty of a fair maiden;
Since ancient times, the affairs of kings, nobles, and generals have
been nothing new, even within the confines of women's chambers
