The Overlord of the Red Mansion

Chapter 236 Satisfied
"Comfortable."

After Jia Rong came out of the Queen's bedroom, he was full of energy.

I was in a very good mood at that time, and of course I had to respect the deceased. With sadness in my heart, I went to comfort the families of the King of Shu and the King of Liao.

After finishing his work, Jia Rong was invited to the imperial study by a group of ministers before he had time to go home to rest.

"Please, Your Majesty, take charge of the situation!!"

"Please, Your Majesty, take charge of the situation!!"

"Please, Your Majesty, take charge of the situation!!"

As soon as Jia Rong entered, dozens of officials knelt down and kowtowed to him.

Jia Rong smiled and said, "You guys are always causing trouble for me. How about this? I will write a letter to the emperor and ask him to come back and take charge of the situation."

When the ministers heard what Jia Rong said, they looked at each other and didn't know what to do.

Now that two princes are dead, the funerals and court affairs will be very troublesome.

Jia Rong is capable of handling all of this, but he refuses to do it.

Originally everyone wanted to persuade him to become the regent, but now Jia Rong wants to ask the emperor to come back.

This……

The emperor's teacher quickly stood up, cupped his hands and said, "The King of Loyalty and Filial Piety is very wise and righteous, and we admire him! Please ask the King of Loyalty and Filial Piety to persuade the emperor to come back and take charge of the situation as soon as possible! Stabilize the capital!"

Jia Rong walked to the throne where the emperor sat, sat down and said with a smile: "Prepare paper and pen, and tell me how to write."

Everyone looked at each other again.

It was not a big deal for Jia Rong to sit on the emperor's throne. When the emperor was alive, Jia Rong slept on the dragon bed and often sat and ate with the emperor.

The current emperor is very confident in Jia Rong, and is very generous whether Jia Rong goes to the harem or sits on the throne.

Their relationship is so good that people feel that Jia Rong is the emperor's biological son.

It wasn't just one or two people who thought this way; many people in the court, even many royal nobles, thought this way.

At this moment, everyone was more concerned about how to persuade the emperor to come back.

King Zhongxiao was willing to give up power, and Jia Rong never coveted power from beginning to end.

But the Emperor...

The emperor's teacher said, "Your Highness, please write it yourself. It will be good if we can persuade the emperor to come back. The emperor probably won't listen to what we say."

Jia Rong nodded and sighed, "Many people have died since my father's death. I am also within the assassin's range. If it is not necessary, I don't want to stay in the palace at night."

"But this is the home where the emperor grew up. The emperor has been out for more than half a year, so it's time for him to come back."

Jia Rong shook his head helplessly and waited for the eunuch at the table to grind ink and spread paper.

These words made everyone feel that the emperor was even more reluctant to come back.

The emperor is not a qualified emperor and is not mature at all.

Many people looked at Jia Rong sitting on the throne. At noon, seeing Jia Rong in a good mood, with a reserved, dignified and calm expression, they suddenly felt that this person was more suitable to be the emperor than the emperor himself.

In particular, it is unknown how many years the emperor can live, and the emperor’s son will have to wait at least twenty years before he can handle government affairs.

As a time-tested warrior, Jia Rong is more suitable to guard the Forbidden City than other princes.

Another thing is that the other princes at present... may have really acquiesced to this matter.

Anyway, they didn't want to be emperor. As long as Jia Rong let them continue to be princes, those people would not object to Jia Rong becoming emperor.

Jia Rong was in a very good mood and ignored the looks and evil thoughts of the people below. He quickly wrote a letter.

After writing it, Jia Rong read it out: "Your Majesty, please come back soon. The King of Shu and the King of Liao are gone. It is not appropriate for me to stay here alone."

"Your Majesty's concubines have all given birth successfully. I have done my duty and taken good care of the three sons and four daughters. The children are all healthy. Your Majesty, please come back and see them soon."

Jia Rong picked up the paper, walked down from the throne, and handed it directly to the Left Prime Minister.

"Is it okay to write like this?"

After taking a look, the left prime minister said with an embarrassed look on his face: "It should be more formal."

Jia Rong laughed and said, "Then it doesn't look like I wrote it. The emperor will probably be suspicious after reading it. If you have anything to add, I can write it down."

Everyone looked at each other and waited for several seconds without anyone speaking.

Wang Ziteng asked, "Aren't you going to tell us about the murders of the King of Shu and the King of Liao?"

Jia Rong casually said, "There are people from the Jinyi Army and the East and West Factories who pass on information to the emperor. Even if I don't say it, the emperor knows that the military power and various affairs in our capital are under his control."

"Don't even mention the troops in the capital and the border. Even a prince like me can withdraw at will. In short, all power is in the hands of the emperor. We just need to do our own thing."

Everyone suddenly realized that what Jia Rong said was right.

Now, both the people and the army listen to the emperor.

If Jia Rong wanted to rebel, few people would follow him.

The princes and nobles from all over the country must be with the emperor.

Some things become more troublesome the more you think about them, and it's such a bad thing!
Now all we can do is call the emperor back.

Although there were corrupt officials in the court, there were also many capable people.

Under the general condition that the treasury was full and there were no frequent natural disasters, the civil officials could govern the country stably. In addition, the court also had supervisory officials left by the emperor, as well as a system of integrity.

The emperor and Jia Rong did not touch these people, and often distributed money and silver to supplement their income, so there were still some people doing things.

Jia Rong quickly handed the matter over to professionals and went home.

"Master~"

As soon as I got home, I was met by a group of ladies wearing colorful cotton jackets and cloaks to greet me when I entered the garden.

Jia Rong was in a good mood, "Let's go back to the garden to have some fun. Don't get cold here."

Everyone watched Jia Rong walk over to them, and saw Jia Rong put one hand on Xue Baochai's butt and the other on Jia Tanchun's butt, hugging them both as he walked forward.

"Master, why are you so anxious?" After being touched by Jia Rong, Xue Baochai teased Jia Rong with a smile.

Lin Daiyu, wearing a bright red cape and a white hood, walked beside them and said with a smile: "What can I touch through the cape and cotton-padded jacket? I can touch a handful of fox fur~"

Xue Baochai rolled her eyes at Lin Daiyu and said, "I don't know who is wearing fox fur!"

Jia Rong said seriously, "Alas, I saw a pile of corpses when I went there yesterday. I didn't sleep well the whole night. I went to the homes of the King of Shu and the King of Liao early this morning and dealt with some matters with the ministers. Now my hands are very cold."

After hearing this, Jia Tanchun quickly used her right hand to move Jia Rong's hand from her buttocks to her right armpit.

"I'll warm up my brother-in-law."

Xue Baochai also warmed Jia Rong's warm big hands.

Jia Rong smiled and said, "Let the maids go back and rest. I have already had lunch. Have you had lunch?"

Jia Yuanchun replied, "We have already eaten. Do you want to go back to your room to rest?"

Jia Rong smiled and said, "I want to take a bath first, you two can come with me."

After hearing this, Jia Yuanchun quickly said, "The bathroom is so small, let Xiren and Sheyue accompany the master. It will be too crowded for us to go there."

Qin Keqing smiled and said, "Sister, you are wrong. I have a large pool in my house that can accommodate more than 20 people. It is near the boiler room. Usually, the sisters play in the water and swim. The master has worked hard this time, so we will accompany him to rest for a while."

Jia Yuanchun hasn't been with Jia Rong for almost half a year. This time, because of the tragic deaths of two princes, and because she felt that Jia Rong was having a very difficult time, he had to deal with such things every now and then.

"Okay, listen to my sister."

Jia Yuanchun quickly agreed.

Lin Daiyu and others had been entering the sect for more than half a year. Seeing that Jia Yuanchun agreed, they also followed her to take a bath.

All the maids were sent back to rest, and only Jia Rong's wives and concubines and a few beautiful maids of the women were allowed to go with them.

Soon everyone arrived at Tianxiang Tower, a place that was rarely visited.

When we arrived at the large bathing pool on the second floor, we found that it was as luxurious as a palace, especially the plum petal pool emitting hot water and the ice and snow world outside the huge glass window, which together formed a unique landscape.

Lin Daiyu and others usually took a bath with their maids, but now they suddenly took off their clothes and stood together with a large group of women. After seeing a few sisters with good figures, they suddenly felt inferior.

Even Jia Yuanchun covered her fat belly with her hands and didn't want to come again.

Having good looks does not necessarily mean having a good figure.

But some people not only look good, but also have a good figure!

It’s not noticeable when they are wearing clothes normally, but at this moment, the figures of the bath attendants and wet nurses directly surpass those of the young ladies and wives.

When Jia Rong, Qin Keqing, You Erjie and You Sanjie were bathing together, Jia Yuanchun and Wang Xifeng asked quietly: "Where did you find those women? Why do they look even coquettish than Qingwen?"

Wang Xifeng smiled and said, "They were all found from Liaodong and other places. The former farm of Ningguo Mansion supported a lot of people. These are girls who grew up in those villages. They are hardworking, willing to endure hardships, and honest. Half a draught of silver a month is enough. No other rewards are needed. Just food, clothing and shelter are enough."

The aunts and uncles who earned a hundred taels of silver every month quickly developed a strong sense of crisis after hearing this.

Qingwen, who prides herself on her beauty and gracefulness, is also here. She is under tremendous pressure right now!
Xue Baochai and Lin Daiyu were sitting in the pool. Because they were short, the hot water that reached Jia Rong's chest had already reached near their mouths.

The two of them tilted their heads back and kept breathing, enjoying the slightly tingling yet comfortable feeling of being soaked in hot water all over their bodies. And from this angle, when they looked up, they could just see the big trees outside and the large floating clouds in the distant sky.

Shi Xiangyun and Tanchun were happily swimming in the big bathtub with basins of water and practicing swimming in the bathing pool.

We are all family, and soon everyone got used to taking a bath together. We were no longer so shy with each other and would seriously discuss body issues.

Jia Rong also relaxed for the first time in a long time and felt that life was so wonderful.

Qin Keqing walked over and sat down beside Jia Rong, touched the hot water in the hot tub with one hand, and then slowly placed it on Jia Rong.

"Master, let me help you with your bath."

Jia Rong did not refuse, he raised his head and smiled and said: "I feel satisfied after soaking for a while."

"Now I have many wives and concubines, many children, more money than I can spend, and a group of close friends who will accompany me to spend the rest of my life happily. I feel happy and content. What else can I not be satisfied with?"

Xue Baochai smiled and said, "I really can't think of what our master is missing. I feel like our master is already the happiest man in the world!"

Jia Rong embraced Qin Keqing and You Erjie who came over to him in the pool, and said with a smile: "I just want to live a peaceful life like this now, and don't want to toss and turn anymore."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jia Rong started to torment the beauties in the pool.

"Whoever you catch will sleep in his house today!"

Seeing Jia Rong suddenly go crazy and come towards her, Xue Baochai quickly pushed Lin Daiyu away from the bath and shouted, "Run!"

Soon, Xue Baochai, with a shy smile on her face, was caught by Jia Rong!

Lin Daiyu drank a sip of bath water and was so angry at Xue Baochai and Jia Rong that she burst into tears and cursed them in hatred, "Adulterer and whore!"
