Chapter 483 A Dream of Red Mansions - Wang Xifeng 10
Prince Beijing is one of the four princes and eight kilometres away. He is a veteran nobleman in the capital along with the four major families of Jia, Wang, Shi and Xue. Prince Beijing is not very old now. He is only fifteen years old and has not yet married.
In her previous life, Princess Beijing was the daughter of this generation of the Zhen family and the elder sister of Zhen Baoyu. Currently, the Zhen family and Prince Beijing's Mansion have not yet been engaged, so there is nothing wrong with Zhen mentioning him.
Wang Ziteng, on the other hand, was somewhat unconfident. Although the Wang family had some connections with several other families, in terms of foundation, the other families all had dukes or marquises, but the Wang family only had the title of county earl, which was only slightly better than the Xue family. Now, they didn't even have the title, and only Wang Ziteng was left to hold up the family.
The Prince of Beijing was originally named a king of a different surname by the Emperor, and his title was much higher than that of the royal family. His descendants also had the grace to inherit the title without being demoted. Even though the Prince of Beijing is young now, in terms of status, he cannot even be compared to the old lady of the Rongguo Mansion.
"But, can our Wang family get close to Prince Beijing?"
Wang Xifeng didn't know or care whether she could marry Prince of Beijing or not. She only knew that according to the extension of the plot of Dream of Red Mansions, Prince of Beijing, Rongguo Mansion, even the Shihou Mansion with two marquises in the same family would not be good for long. No matter which family she married, it was only a matter of time before she would face final destruction.
Now all Wang Xifeng can do is delay.
Today's incident will surely delay Wang Ziteng's plan to make an engagement. Wang Xifeng plans to find a way to go to Gusu and find Lin Daiyu to "borrow" some blood to corrode the spiritual jade, so as to get the energy of heaven and earth first.
As for the rest, she will talk about it when the time comes. At worst, she will just give up being a human being. As long as she is not satisfied, she will start mourning as soon as the engagement is completed. As for whether she mourns for her fiancé or her uncle, it depends on who she has decided on.
After rummaging around in her own space, Wang Xifeng first found the clone pill that had solved a big problem in her previous life. She created a clone puppet with familiarity and gave it symptoms of illness. She waited until late at night, when the maids and old women on guard fell asleep, and then released the puppet. She changed into a maid's clothes, packed some money, and slipped out of the palace.
As a person from Jia Yingchun's world, Wang Xifeng had been out many times, so she knew the way to Gusu. She changed into men's clothes smoothly, bought a horse with some change, and galloped out of the city.
With Wang Xifeng's current level of cultivation, she is not afraid of any bandits or robbers. However, her body is still that of a little girl who has not undergone any exercise. She cannot withstand the long-term bumps. Wang Xifeng has no choice but to slow down, hoping that the puppet will be discovered to be abnormal later.
It was early in the morning in the palace, and it was the time when Wang Xifeng usually got up by herself. Feng'er waited for a long time but no one made a sound from behind the bed curtain. Seeing that it was time to pay respects, Feng'er had to go forward and lift the bed curtain, intending to manually help Wang Xifeng, who had overslept, get up.
But when Feng'er lifted the bed curtain, what she saw was not Wang Xifeng who had overslept, but a puppet with a red face and unconsciousness.
"Miss, miss, what's wrong with you?"
Feng'er tried to wake up Wang Xifeng, but found that her eyes were closed and she did not respond at all. If he had not felt the lady's temperature with his own hands, Feng'er would have thought that the lady lying there was already dead.
The news that Wang Xifeng was ill quickly spread throughout the palace. After Zhen learned about it, she immediately arranged for her servants to invite a doctor to treat Wang Xifeng.
It was not until the doctor examined her and said that Miss Wang had caught a cold and needed to take some medicine and recuperate for a period of time that she would be fine. Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
Zhen believed that Wang Xifeng caught a cold because of the poor service of her personal servants, so she decided to arrange two more maids for Wang Xifeng. So when Wang Xifeng was riding a horse outside, her good partner in her previous life, the virtuous Ping'er, came.
Mrs. Wang at the Rongguo Mansion in the capital waited for a long time but received no reply from Wang Ziteng, and she couldn't help but feel anxious. Jia Zhu was ill some time ago, and the doctor said that Jia Zhu had suffered a fundamental injury and should not overwork in the future and needed to be well taken care of.
In other words, Jia Zhu was useless and in poor health, unable to do anything, so they turned their attention to Jia Yuanchun. Jia Yuanchun was fifteen years old this year and just in time for next year's selection. Right now, Jia Yuanchun was working hard to learn the rules of the palace and strive to enter the palace after the selection.
Jia Yuanchun also knew what she was carrying, so she studied very hard. Mrs. Wang was in a bad mood now, partly because Wang Ziteng had not agreed to her marriage proposal and she could not solve the "opponent" for Yuanchun in advance, and partly because Jia Zheng's new concubine, Aunt Zhao, was pregnant.
As the legal wife, she naturally does not want her husband to have illegitimate children, but as the legal wife, she can only be virtuous and generous, and cannot express dissatisfaction with the fact that her husband's concubine is pregnant.
Therefore, Mrs. Wang, who was in a bad mood, could only "teach" Aunt Zhao every day, hoping that Aunt Zhao could not bear the teaching and had a miscarriage.
After Jia Baoyu was one month old, he was taken to Rong Xi Tang by Grandmother Jia in the name of educating him. As a daughter-in-law, Lady Wang could not refuse Grandmother Jia due to filial piety. Now that she had Aunt Zhao as a vent, Lady Wang finally felt much better.
But she underestimated Aunt Zhao's ability. A few days later, Aunt Zhao found an opportunity to complain to Jia Zheng, so Jia Zheng went to find Lady Wang. His words irritated Lady Wang's already sensitive nerves, and the couple broke out into a fierce quarrel, and their relationship began to crack.
To make matters worse, Jia Zhu was unwilling to accept the fate of being a useless person after ten years of hard study, so he insisted on taking the imperial examination. Before Jia Zhu finished the exam, Mrs. Wang received the news that Wang Xifeng was seriously ill.
Now Mrs. Wang couldn't ask about the engagement anymore.
However, when Jia Lian heard the news that Wang Xifeng was seriously ill, he was so sad that Jia She noticed something was wrong. So under Jia She's beating, Jia Lian told her that he liked the girl from the Wang family.
Jia She was not very satisfied with this candidate. Although he himself was not a good person, he still had very high standards for his daughter-in-law.
In Jia She's mind, only a woman like Jia Lian's biological mother is the right candidate. He doesn't want to consider the women from the Wang family. However, he didn't expect that after he clearly expressed his disagreement, Jia Lian would dare to insist on his choice.
Jia She was reluctant to beat Jia Lian to death. Seeing that Jia Lian was beaten to death but still refused to change his mind, he had no choice but to compromise. "Forget it, since you insist on marrying a woman from the Wang family, I will grant your wish."
"Let's pick a day and go to the palace to make the reservation."
"Decide? What decision?"
"Feng'er is sick and hasn't recovered yet. Besides, Feng'er doesn't like me." Jia Lian couldn't help crying whenever he thought of Wang Xifeng's coldness.
Jia She originally thought that the two were in love with each other, and thought that as long as Jia Lian liked her, the woman from the Wang family would be the woman from the Wang family. Just after he compromised, he realized that everything was Jia Lian's wishful thinking. Now Jia She really had nothing to say.
