The Overlord of the Red Mansion

Chapter 294 Transformation
In the evening, Jia Rong changed into new clothes and had his hair and body hair trimmed, then took a carriage to Nuanxiang Tower.

The road is not long, only about a hundred meters in a straight line.

From the entrance of Baicao Palace, go around to the back, pass some warehouses storing large supplies and the houses where the palace maids lived, and it takes about three or four hundred meters to reach Nuanxiang Tower.

The wet nurse and the driver quickly put down the carriage and walked aside. Several imperial wives nearby came over and used their shoulders to provide support for Jia Rong when he got off the carriage.

The area in front of Nuanxiang Palace had been carefully cleaned for several hours, and there was no snow or mud.

More than five hundred palace maids and concubines knelt down in unison.

Jia Yuanchun and Empress Shengren knelt in the front. As queens, they had a higher voice than other women.

"I congratulate the Emperor on his release from confinement. Long live the Emperor!"

After the two empresses shouted, the other concubines and palace maids also shouted collectively: "Congratulations to the emperor for coming out of confinement. Long live the emperor!"

Jia Rong looked at the women who were sitting on the ground with their legs crossed. These beautiful and charming women raised their heads and looked at him with smiles.

Jia Rong suddenly thought of the women in Wanhua Tower. In terms of beauty, those in the palace were more superior.

But after all, it's just a matter of fate. The prostitutes in Wanhua Tower cannot use high-end cosmetics, nor do they have all kinds of top luxury goods to dress up and maintain themselves.

"Get up and go inside to eat."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Everyone stood up only after Jia Rong entered the room, and they all felt a lot more relaxed.

Jia Rong ran away from home for more than four months, which was a huge blow to his family, especially to a woman like Jia Yuanchun who was anxious about nothing.

Without Jia Rong, how can a group of women support themselves?

After Jia Rong sat down, he soon discovered that Jia Yuanchun and Empress Shengren were standing aside serving him and had no intention of taking a seat.

Seeing this, Jia Rong did not force it. As queens in the feudal era, it was normal for the two of them to choose to uphold feudal ethics.

Eating at the same table with Jia Rong were the Crown Prince Jia Ben, as well as the princes Jia Shu, Jia Pu, Jia Ji, and Jia Du.

Jia Rong had a meal with his sons after a long absence.

After dinner, Jia Rong looked at Jia Ben.

"What have you learned in these four months?"

The prince looked at Jia Rong nervously, then looked at the Empress Jia Yuanchun who was behind Jia Rong and was responsible for adding dishes, serving tea and water.

Seeing this, Jia Rong said directly: "It seems that it still won't work. You can't learn anything at home. There are only a bunch of women here. They are of no help to you."

Jia Yuanchun couldn't help but blush again, looking ashamed.

Jia Yuanchun herself was not able to be a good queen, nor did she have the ability to train a qualified prince.

Jia Rong had no intention of blaming Jia Yuanchun.

"You are too dependent on others at home and can't see things clearly. Go to your grandfather in Jinling in a few days and start as a textile factory worker. Then learn factory management from your grandfather."

"You can also learn some books of sages to cultivate your sentiments. You can also learn about the personnel operations, sales, procurement, and other aspects of the weaving house. Don't attend banquets. Just eat with your grandparents, or eat at government offices."

"You should learn some things outside first. When you are sixteen years old, I will find you some helpers."

The prince quickly said, "Thank you, Father!"

Jia Rong looked at the others and said, "You must study hard in school. I don't have time to supervise you. After school starts, I will find some strict teachers for you. You will be punished when you deserve to be punished. If you hit or disrespect the teachers, your crime will be even more serious!"

"Yes..." Several teenage boys agreed cowardly.

In fact, they didn't want to have dinner with Jia Rong, but Jia Yuanchun insisted on arranging it this way.

After the depressing dinner, Jia Rong's concubines and palace maids soon went to the inner hall to play. Jia Yuanchun and Empress Shengren watched Jia Rong scold his sons one by one.

This is exactly what Jia Yuanchun wanted to see.

The father is kind and the son is filial, the wife is respectful, and the sisters are happy and lively.

After the troublesome child left, Jia Yuanchun took the initiative to serve tea.

"Your Majesty, have some tea."

Jia Rong, who had wasted a lot of saliva while scolding the child, did not take the tea but looked around.

The door was still open, but the children who were in the way had already run away, afraid to stay even a second longer.

"Come here and feed me."

Jia Rong reached out and hugged Jia Yuanchun's big buttocks, and said with a smile: "This big buttocks feels so good to touch, it is indeed a buttocks that can safely give birth to a son."

Jia Yuanchun sat obediently on Jia Rong's lap, with a look of delight on her face.

The palace maid at the door had already closed the door tactfully.

"I am already in my thirties. As long as the emperor likes it, that's enough." Jia Yuanchun said as she took a sip of the tea and then took the initiative to go over and add water.

The tea is sweet.

Jia Rong quickly picked up Jia Yuanchun and went straight upstairs to find a room to start.

Qingyun and Qinyun quickly followed to serve.

The people who were playing downstairs soon noticed this scene.

Xue Baochai smiled and said, "Your Majesty is in great spirits."

Wang Xifeng didn't want anyone to say bad things about Jia Rong, even if it was just a joke. "The emperor and the empress are not young anymore, and they have been together for 20 years. It's normal for them to get together after they come back."

Wang Xifeng didn't mind people making jokes about her. Even if the jokes were a little insulting, she would just smile and curse back.

If you just make a joke about Jia Rong, Wang Xifeng will feel uncomfortable and will take the initiative to say good things about Jia Rong.

Tanchun also didn't like people making fun of her sister, so she said, "Yes, they say men get tired of the old and love the new, but I don't think the emperor is like that."

Wang Xifeng smiled and said, "Call me brother-in-law. Your brother-in-law likes you to call him that."

Tanchun gave Wang Xifeng a cold look. The two of them had similar personalities and were both in charge, so they had a good relationship with each other.

"Who does the emperor like to call Sister Feng? I think if you go up now, Sister Feng, you might be able to share some of the hard work for my sister."

Xue Baochai's eyes were bright, and she smiled warmly, cheerfully and kindly, "What kind of hard work is this? It's clearly a good job!"

"Humph!" Wang Xifeng snorted and stood up. "Do you think I'm thin-skinned? Let me tell you, I am thick-skinned!"

"Second sister, third sister, come with me! Today we are the only ones who are shameless enough to go up and let them eat their leftovers tomorrow and the day after tomorrow!"

Everyone laughed as they watched Wang Xifeng twist her waist and walk out with her second and third sisters.

Shi Xiangyun looked at Xue Baochai, "Why don't you go?"

Xue Baochai knew that she was saying that she was thick-skinned and shameless.

"Why are you going? There are plenty of days to come!"

Xue Baochai was not in a hurry. Besides, she would be excluded if she went upstairs today as there were already quite a few people there.

Yingchun asked curiously, "Where's Sister Qin? She disappeared after dinner."

Youshi smiled and said, "She had sand on her forehead today, and it just so happened that something happened."

Shi Xiangyun smiled and said, "What a coincidence, otherwise she would definitely be involved!"

Li Wan listened to these young wives who had been married for several years discussing private topics and joined in.

"There are hundreds of people in the palace, and someone gets into trouble every day. Fortunately, there are plenty of people to serve the emperor."

The affair between Li Wan and Jia Rong is no longer a secret, there are no outsiders here.

When you are not the emperor, some things are illegal and against ethics.

After becoming the emperor, everyone became open-minded, tolerant and generous.

After more than an hour, when everyone was playing cards or reading, or going back early to teach the children to read and write, You Sanjie and Second Sister came down first.

Both of them are delicate and charming, like roses that have been nourished.

Seeing this, Lin Daiyu joked, "Second sister, third sister, come and play with me. I'm giving you a question. The question is... When I see a gentleman, how can I not be happy~"

Although my second and third sisters have all received education, they are not as good at having fun as these people.

The second sister said quickly: "I can't play these."

The third sister smiled and said, "I just solved a big problem these days. Now it's not ordinary. Sister Daiyu wants to play with me, but I want to thank Sister Daiyu! Thank you for Sister Daiyu's lover's tolerance and generosity. He knows how to care for people~"

The third sister is naturally strong and aggressive, and has been spoiled by Jia Rong for almost ten years.

Sad things will pass away, and every family has a child who dies. This is the way the world is.

Now he walked forward cheerfully, directly counterattacked Lin Daiyu, and vented the anger that he had been holding in his heart for these days.

Lin Daiyu said angrily: "Who told you to say that? It's fine if you can't write poetry, but I won't play with you anymore!"

Third Sister You smiled and said, "If you don't play with me, I still want to play with you! We are good sisters who sleep in the same bed, isn't it easy for us to play together?"

Lin Daiyu turned her head away from her and said, "Go away! Don't disturb us from writing poetry here. Go and tell your dirty jokes. Don't dirty my ears!"

Originally, Third Sister You had a very ordinary relationship with Lin Daiyu and others. They all kept to themselves, and Lin Daiyu didn't seem to interact much with people on their side.

Before, the main thing was the lack of an opportunity. At this time, the third sister was in a good mood and took the initiative to throw a tantrum.

"Okay! I'll tell you a few jokes!"

"On the wedding night of a couple, the groom said to the bride: Your father prevented me from marrying you, how despicable!"

"Then they took off the bride's clothes and tortured her severely."

"After a while, the groom stood up and said to the bride: Your mother is greedy for money, how despicable!"

"Then he and the bride had a rough time in bed."

"Soon the groom fell asleep, and the bride lay quietly on the bed alone. Not long after, the bride turned sideways and put her hand on the groom's shoulder! Guess what?"

Shi Xiangyun stopped drinking, Aunt Xue stopped playing cards, Li Wan and Tanchun stopped reading, and they all looked over here.

Lin Daiyu frowned, "Are you trying to harm someone?"

Third Sister You laughed and said, "No! The bride woke the groom up and said shyly, "My brother is not a plaything either."

Lin Daiyu didn't understand it at first, but after a few seconds she realized that it was indeed a dirty joke.

Soon, the jokes that were not even acceptable in the upper class became more interesting than any poetry or article.

This is not a poetry party for girls, but a gathering of young women who have given birth to children and have been married for several years.

Soon the topic became more and more outrageous, and the ideology completely changed from girls to young women.
