The destiny of all heavens begins in the Red Chamber

The plum blossom banquet lasted from morning until afternoon. Jia Baoyu and his sisters had been playing around for a long time, and he felt waves of fatigue washing over him. He couldn't help but yawn.

Qin Keqing, who had been paying attention to this place, immediately realized what was happening and asked Jia Baoyu to rest at the nearby Tianxiang Tower for a while, and then come out to play again.

The old lady and Lady Wang saw this and immediately waved for Jia Baoyu to go and rest.

They were in high spirits at the moment, and given their age, they only needed to take a short nap.

However, what he was talking about was Yuan Chun in the harem, as well as some rumors, some true and some false.

The old lady was well-informed and had heard many bizarre stories about the imperial harem. She could easily recount one or two of them, enough to keep all the daughters-in-law entertained and amazed.

Even Qin Keqing was very interested in the gossip in the harem.

She could understand exactly what the old lady meant, but she didn't know how to respond.

Although her background was an open secret, the royal family didn't register her name on the imperial register for even a day, so she wasn't considered a true member of the royal family.

Under such circumstances, Qin Keqing had no reason to have any contact with the royal family.

In fact, she had very little contact with the royal family, and had never even entered the palace, so how could she possibly help Yuan Chun?

In fact, her existence and her current status have already helped Yuan Chun a lot, without her even realizing it.

After all, Yuan Chun had some indirect kinship ties with the royal family.

When the current emperor treats Yuan Chun, he should at least consider this aspect of their relationship.

Otherwise, it wouldn't matter if the ministers thought he was heartless and ungrateful, but if even the royal family thought so, then his current situation would be extremely awkward, and the feeling of being all alone would be unbearable.

Such implicit benefits are enough, after all, Yuan Chun is just a concubine without a title.

If things go too far, do you think those concubines with titles, and the imperial concubines above them, would agree?

All I can say is that in the old lady's eyes, Yuan Chun was the best, even better than the Empress. But what good does that do?

Rather than focusing on her, it would be better to have greater power and influence in the outer court, so that the current emperor will pay more attention to Yuan Chun.

Of course, given the private relationship between the Ning family and Dai Quan, the Grand Chancellor of the Daming Palace, they could help Yuan Chun through Dai Quan if they wished.

However, such methods can only be used once or twice at most.

It would be foolish to not save opportunities for crucial moments and to use up Dai Quan's value too early.

That's just one possibility; the Ning family has no plans to inform the Rong family about Dai Quan's matter for the time being.

Furthermore, what Qin Keqing was unaware of was that Jia Huan and Jia Qiang, in their private conversations, did not approve of her taking the initiative to go to the palace to claim kinship.

It's not that doing this is harmful, but Qin Keqing is the most beautiful woman in the Dream of the Red Chamber story.

Anyone familiar with royal historical records would not take this lightly.

If someone were to fall for a beautiful woman in this day and age, they wouldn't care about the generational difference between her and Qin Keqing. Only a fool would have confidence in the moral standards of the royal family.

Jia Huan merely nodded, and Jia Qiang broke out in a cold sweat!

He knew perfectly well just how beautiful his cousin's wife was.

Otherwise, how could she have bewitched Jia Zhen so much that he even considered committing incest?

If what Jia Huan described were to happen, the Ning Mansion would likely be completely ruined. Looking at historical records of the ex-husbands of female protagonists in certain scandalous stories, almost none of them met a good end.

Similarly, Jia Qiang was quite annoyed by the old lady and Lady Wang's constant mention of Yuan Chun.

He was afraid he wouldn't be able to control his temper, so he stayed obediently by Jia Huan and Jia Cong's side, at least so that even if he said something wrong, it wouldn't cause any trouble.

Putting aside other matters, Qin Keqing did not personally lead Jia Baoyu to Tianxiang Tower this time.

What a joke! At this moment, she is completely different from the Rong Shao Nai Nai in the original Dream of the Red Chamber, who needed to please the old lady. She is the proper mistress of Ning Mansion and the matriarch of the Jia clan in the capital.

Jia Baoyu was not worthy of her taking care of him, much less allow this fellow to sleep in his room and bed.

Upon seeing Jia Baoyu enter Tianxiang Tower to rest, Jia Huan focused most of his attention on him.

Mainly, I really want to experience it for myself and be able to go to the so-called Land of Illusion with Jia Baoyu.

It's a pity that, whether it was because Fairy Jinghuan was too powerful or because her own senses were too weak, she never noticed anything unusual.

In reality, at this moment, Fairy Disenchantment, the mistress of the Land of Illusion, was sweating profusely and at a loss for what to do.

For some unknown reason, the spell, which had allowed him to clearly see everything in the Ning Mansion by focusing his magic on Qin Keqing, suddenly stopped.

After that, no matter how hard she tried, she could no longer clearly see what was happening in the Ning residence.

This made her extremely flustered, and she didn't know how to proceed with the plan.

At this time, the monk and the Taoist priest were not in the capital region, which made Fairy Disenchantment feel like she was in a daze.

It should be noted that this plan would greatly benefit her own cultivation, so she could not give it up easily.

Incidentally, I can also gain favors from the two ancestors of Ning and Rong. How can I easily let go of such a good thing that kills two birds with one stone?

Even if Shenying successfully returns to Chixia Palace and realizes she has been tricked, she will have enough reasons to defend herself.

So, through various means, she vaguely realized what was going on.

It turned out that, for some unknown reason, the Ning family's previously meager fortune suddenly surged, instantly isolating them from the prying eyes of the Mirror Flower Water Moon Technique.

Fairy Jinghuan was helpless in the face of this.

Even with her cultivation level, she wouldn't dare to easily challenge the mysterious and wondrous Qi.

Fortunately, she had finally met Shenying Attendant and was somewhat familiar with his aura.

Using a secret technique, she located Jia Baoyu and, estimating that he had had enough fun, the Fairy Disenchantment used magic to lull him to sleep.

Unfortunately, the Ning Mansion was enveloped by a sudden surge in fortune, making it impossible for Fairy Disenchantment to guide Jia Baoyu's soul to the Land of Illusion, let alone carry out the subsequent plans.

However, the opportunity was rare. It was already quite difficult to influence Qin Keqing through the dream method and bring about the Plum Blossom Banquet. She was not sure if she could do it a second time.

As the Ning family prospered, their fortunes also began to rise. In addition, Qin Keqing's noble status made her no longer someone that Fairy Disenchantment could easily influence.

It is said that the Fairy Disenchantment, the mistress of the Land of Illusion, went to great lengths to finally discover that Jia Baoyu had fallen asleep, and immediately sent him a lot of aura of love and entanglement.

Once Jia Baoyu reacted, the newly generated aura of passion within him was immediately removed.

The income from the round trip is absolutely astonishing!

After all, can the karmic entanglements of love and passion generated by an ordinary person be compared to those generated by the reincarnation of Shenying Attendant?

For Fairy Jinghuan, one is in heaven and the other is on earth—that's how exaggerated it is!

Meanwhile, Jia Baoyu was being tormented terribly.

His mind was filled with all sorts of fragrant and erotic images, making him blush even in his sleep.

The most outrageous thing was that he kept calling out the names of girls, even Qin Keqing, while panting.

This time, the images in his mind weren't just about his lovemaking with Qin Keqing; the other girls weren't spared either, since Jia Baoyu was known for his 'broad-mindedness'!

Then, the maidservant from the Ning family who was guarding the bedside was shocked to hear the names of the girls one by one.

When Jia Baoyu, in his sleep, called out his wife's name, the maidservant standing guard beside him finally couldn't hold back any longer and told her companion to continue guarding the bedside, as she had to inform his wife immediately.

This has blown up!

Fortunately, Qin Keqing was mentally prepared. After hearing the maid's report, her face turned ugly, but she did not lead her men to storm Tianxiang Tower.

Instead, he went up to the old lady and explained the situation to her.

The old lady's eyes widened in disbelief. Seeing that Qin Keqing's expression was serious and genuine, she couldn't sit still any longer and hurriedly got up to go to Tianxiang Tower to check.

The old fox was still the most cunning. She only said she was going to see Baoyu, because the maid said he had some fever.

As expected, no one suspected anything. The old lady, accompanied by Madam Wang and only her personal maid Yuanyang, entered the guest room of Tianxiang Tower.

"Qing, Lin Daiyu, Baochai..."

The old lady and Madam Wang stood by the bed, both of them looking very unwell.

Listening to Jia Baoyu's ramblings in his sleep, I was even momentarily at a loss.

Fortunately, the kid was only talking about 'outsiders' surnames'. If he had said Sanchun's real name, that would have been a real problem.

Fortunately, the old lady came to her senses and said to Madam Wang in a low voice, "You should discipline Baoyu properly. Don't let him do anything foolish at such a young age!"

Madam Wang was very unhappy, but she could only obediently nod in agreement.

Her first reaction was not to blame Jia Baoyu for having erotic dreams at such a young age, but to curse in her heart the women Jia Baoyu mentioned as vixens.

Such incidents as those involving Jia Baoyu are not uncommon among wealthy and powerful families.

That's why the old lady and Madam Wang were only shocked and bewildered, but they didn't immediately wake Jia Baoyu up, because it wouldn't be good if he were 'startled'.

"The second son's previous arrangements were good; there's no need to assign any maids to Baoyu!"

The old lady continued, "Let's go back to the manor as soon as Baoyu wakes up!"

After saying that, he turned and left, feeling utterly dejected.

She felt that her storytelling had been effective, and that Qin Keqing should have taken it to heart.

She had originally intended to continue her efforts, but then Jia Baoyu's incident happened. Even if the old lady didn't take it seriously, Qin Keqing, being thin-skinned, couldn't bear it.

Lady Wang stayed by Jia Baoyu's side, listening to his ramblings, her face calm and expressionless, and no one knew what she was thinking.
