The son of the red mansion is unscrupulous

It was not yet November, but the weather suddenly turned cold, and in the early morning, fine snow particles fell.

In the cold, only a few street sweepers were busy on the street with brooms.

The Chief Historian of Zhongshun Prince's Mansion took seven or eight people to Ningrong Street early in the morning. On Ningrong Street, they encountered King Baojun's chariot and horses head-on, so he hurriedly avoided them. Still headed west, passed the private alley and entered the Heiyou Gate, saw Hu Jingzhi coming over wrapped in a leather coat, and said with a smile: "Mr. Hu's leather coat is not bad, is it made of red fox fur?"

Hu Jingzhi didn't know what the Chief Historian meant, and said with a sneer: "During the New Year, I don't have any good clothes to wear, so my wife asked someone to cut one for me."

"Mrs. Ling is indeed virtuous and virtuous."

Hu Jingzhi knew that Xia Jingui had a bad temper, and after hearing what the chief historian said, he secretly smiled bitterly in his heart, wondering what the chief historian was doing so early in the morning, and led the chief historian to the study, and when he entered the study, he saw that Lai Da had already hid Ask the chief historian to sit down, and ask Qin Xian to make hot tea.

The Chief Historian took a sip of tea and said, "Didn't King Baojun come out when he entered the palace last night?"

Hu Jingzhi smiled and said, "We don't know about that."

"...You have nothing to do with King Baojun?" The chief historian slanted his eyes and thought to himself that he didn't believe that Hu Jingzhi didn't climb the high branch in the east.

Hu Jingzhi sat with him anxiously, and said with a smile: "Last year, I followed the second brother Lian of the Xifu to greet the prince. I heard that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has sent people to rest in the Dong'an County Prince's Mansion in the west, and will leave that mansion to the prince. The sixth prince?"

The Chief Historian took the bowl cover and scraped the tea bowl until it made a loud noise, and then said with a smile: "The sixth prince in the west, and the king of Baojun in the east, you really have the vision to pick this place, and now you can make a lot of money from this place if you show your hand." Ten or twenty thousand."

Hu Jingzhi smiled embarrassingly.

"I won't go around in circles with you anymore. Because the Zhou family and the Wu family owed a lot of tax money to the treasury, the Lord was annoyed and ordered people to pursue debts from each family. The prince also owed 30 taels to the treasury. Although this The amount is not much, but when the former concubine passed away, the prince gave all he had to attend to the funeral of the concubine. Now the palace is in a difficult situation, and I have to embezzle 30 taels from you. I wonder if you will help?" the chief historian said with a smile.

Hu Jingzhi thought to himself that Prince Zhongshun's mansion is short of money?Busy said with shame: "To be honest, I bought this house with great reluctance. Now I don't have any extra money."

With a bang, the Chief Historian threw the tea bowl on the coffee table, and said with a sneer, "Who knows that you married the only daughter of Osmanthus Xia's family, and it's no problem that you have a lot of money. The prince is just because of the Zhou and Wu families. It’s not easy to take out the money, so I came here to ask you to borrow the money. Take it at the front and return it at the back, and you still refuse?”

Hu Jingzhi was at a loss as to how to respond, when he saw Lai Da shaking the curtain lightly in the inner room, he hurriedly said to the chief historian with a smile: "I'll go and discuss with my wife, please sit in the front hall, sir. Spacious side."

The Chief Historian sneered, then got up and followed Hu Jingzhi to the front hall.

Hu Jingzhi sent Qin Xian's family to make wine and dishes to entertain the Zhongshun Palace and his party, then hurried back to the study, entered the study, saw Lai Da nestled on the grand teacher's chair, and hurriedly asked: "Grandpa Lai, do you really want to give Zhongshun Palace 30 Ten thousand taels?"

Lai Da said: "If you don't give him 30, what else can you do?"

Hu Jingzhi paced back and forth, scratching his heart and lungs, and said, "Why don't you persuade the chief historian to go to Jialian's to the west to ask for money?"

Lai Da sneered and said: "Who doesn't know that the west side has more money than you, the Lord Zhongshun sent someone to you, just knowing that the west side can't ask for it. Don't worry, there are still jokes in the west side. I don't know what the people in the west side are. Goods? Don't worry, in a few days, the Nan'an Palace will go to the west to collect debts. I estimate that the money owed by the Rongguo Mansion to the treasury is not 80, but also 100 million."

Hu Jingzhi said resentfully: "But Xia Jingui has a bad temper, how can I easily ask her for money?"

Lai Da said: "Stupid man, is Xia Jingui easy to dismiss, or Zhongshun Prince's Mansion is easy to dismiss? According to the chief historian, Zhongshun Prince's Mansion has silver, and the words "Official Bank" must be printed on the bottom of the silver, so it is difficult to take it out. You send your money to him, and he takes the official money and returns it to you?"

Hu Jingzhi didn't dare to offend the Zhongshun Palace at this moment. Hearing what Lai Da said, he could only go through the Erdaoyi Gate and go to the backyard. After entering the backyard, he heard Xia Jingui swearing. Chewing the crunchy burnt bones, he was wiping dominoes with the three women of the Xia family, while scolding Hu who was kneeling and serving.

When Hu Jingzhi saw Hu grievously holding the plate and kneeling aside, he couldn't help but feel a little distressed, so he said, "It's so good, why do you ask her to kneel? Why did you wipe the cards so early in the morning?"

Xia Jingui glanced, put her feet on the chair, and said with a sneer, "Why don't you wipe the dominoes? I was hoping to meet the old ladies, wives, and grandmas of various families. But they don't invite you! On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, The east and the west are bustling, you invite me and I invite you, it’s so disgraceful! We have a black oil door between us, no one cares about it! It’s a good thing you said earlier that you are intimate with this palace or that palace.”

Hu Jingzhi's face was bloodless after being scolded, he waved to the Xia family's wives, and asked Hu to go out too, seeing that Xia Jingui was still pissed off, he said: "People from the Zhongshun Palace are here, and I have serious business to discuss with you. .”

Xia Jingui heard that it was a serious matter, so he let Mrs. Hu go out, stared at Mrs. Hu's back, and said with a sneer, "I don't know what you are keeping this woman for? Just send her for a match."

"... She has no husband and is determined to be a widow, so you just ask her to stay." Hu Jingzhi persuaded, and invited Mrs. Xia to sit down, and said to their mother and daughter, "The Zhongshun Palace owes the treasury money, now come here Borrow 30 taels to return to the treasury."

When Mrs. Xia heard the 30 taels, she said in a panic: "Where do we have so much money? - Besides, there is no money in the Zhongshun Palace?"

"It's not that there's nothing, it's because their money is tied to the stamp of the treasury, so it's inconvenient for people to carry it out. So we have to borrow ours and exchange it with theirs." Hu Jingzhi said nicely.

"Why don't you borrow it from the west?" Xia Jingui asked.

"The west owes 80 yuan." Hu Jingzhi said hastily, "This time I helped the Zhongshun Palace, and in time for next year's big test, there will be a promotion from the Zhongshun Palace..."

At this moment, Xia Jingui looked at Mrs. Xia with a red face pinching the handkerchief.

Mrs. Xia also smiled awkwardly.

Hu Jingzhi was puzzled and hurriedly asked, "Madam, is there something unspeakable?"

Mrs. Xia said shyly, "The family doesn't have that much money."

"How much is there?" Hu Jingzhi's heart turned cold, and he wondered to himself, did Xia Jingui and her daughter talk about their wealth in a low-key way before?

"It's only [-] to [-], and the rest are old clothes and jewelry." Mrs. Xia said embarrassingly.

Xia Jingui, who was so arrogant just now, is also silent now.

"Where's the silver from the sweet-scented osmanthus at home?" Hu Jingzhi hurriedly asked again.

Mrs. Xia said resentfully: "The land was sold a few years ago... Otherwise, how can I rest assured to live in the capital?"

Hu Jingzhi sneered in his heart, but held back, and only said: "My wife lent me 10 taels to take it to Prince Zhongshun's mansion. If they want it, don't return it to my wife. After I take the exam, I will return double the money to you." Mrs."

Mrs. Xia was about to agree, but Xia Jingui pressed her hand again, so she lowered her head and remained silent.

Hu Jingzhi really sneered at this moment, and went out in a fit of anger. When he reached the door, he thought that this was not the time to be angry, so he came back to persuade Xia Jingui and his daughter. Will the palace be short of money? It must be the muddy legs that tricked us." Hearing this, he went out angrily and went to the front hall, walked up to the chief historian who was drinking, and said, "I'm ashamed. , my wife said, their orphans and widows are struggling to keep their jobs, and they have no savings for a long time.”

The chief historian immediately became angry when he heard the words, and without saying a word, he dropped his wine glass, stood up and went out.

Hu Jingzhi was terrified, and hurriedly chased him out, explaining: "It's not that he refuses to borrow money, it's really..."

"Who doesn't know that Osmanthus Xia's family has a lot of background, so it's just fine if they don't want to borrow it. There is no time for people to look down on Zhongshun Palace!" The chief historian sneered, and got on his horse.

Hu Jingzhi hurriedly asked people to prepare horses, and rode the horse to the Zhongshun Palace. When he arrived at the gate of the palace, he was rejected by the gates of the palace, and went down the steps in dismay. Without embarrassment or embarrassment, he waited outside the door.

Sure enough, after an hour, the King of Nan'an led people to carry three big boxes to the outside.

Hu Jingzhi rushed to pay his respects.

The King of Nan'an recognized him and smiled faintly.

Hu Jingzhi forced himself to smile and said, "I don't know when the prince will go to Rongguo Mansion?"

"Where and when will this king go, do I have to report to you?"

Hu Jingzhi hurriedly said: "It's not that the prince is asking for a report, it's that Hu and the second master Lian of the Rongguo Mansion have a good relationship. If you ask the prince when he will go, I can persuade the second master Lian to make preparations."

"Their family doesn't owe anything, so there's no need to go." Princess Nan'an squeezed out this sentence through her teeth, as if she was very unwilling to miss the opportunity to punish Rongguo Mansion.

Hu Jingzhi was taken aback, what he said was inaccurate?Busyly asked again: "Sure enough, you don't owe it?"

"More than ten years ago, the Rongguo Mansion returned the money." Nan'an County King said, and took the people there.

Hu Jingzhi took a deep breath, and wondered to himself, could it be that Jia Lian can't tell the truth?So he rode his horse sadly, and was about to go home to ask Lai Da about it, when suddenly he saw a group of people and horses surrounded by a car with eight treasures decorated with necklaces, going to a shop, outside the shop, two sedan chairs stopped After a closer look, Dai Quan came out first, and then Chang Sheng came down, so he hurried to the shop, but was blocked by the waiter outside the shop.

"There are no customers in the shop today." The guy said.

Hu Jingzhi nodded his head and was about to leave, but he dragged his feet slowly on the street. Seeing another group of well-known eunuchs heading towards the shop in sedan chairs, he was surprised when he suddenly heard someone mockingly say "Xue Why don’t you go with me?” Turning around, he saw Chen Yejun riding a horse with swollen cheeks, who rarely went out.

Hu Jingzhi hurriedly laughed and said, "Why did Brother Chen go out?"

Chen Yejun sneered and said: "Debts are not bad when a person dies. My brother ran away, but the account of the household department is still there. Now I go to Rongguo Mansion and ask the Bodhisattva-hearted Second Master Lian to pay the debt for me."

"It turned out to be on the same road." Hu Jingzhi nodded intentionally to the Xue family's shop, "The Xue family is really amazing."

Chen Yejun said: "Isn't that right? Concubine Zhou is gone, and Concubine Wu has become a concubine. Only the girl from the Xue family is capable of giving birth to a dragon son. You can't say that? It's a pity that the second master of the Xue family chose the shabby girl Xing The second girl of the Xue family hastily settled on Mrs. Mei, and she can't go further with the help of in-laws. My wife bit the bullet and congratulated the Xue family. I just heard that Xue Pan's second son, the one born to Aunt Ping, has already passed away. It's settled with the little girl from Yang Shilang's family, and as for Grandma Xue's, it's like a phoenix egg, and everyone is watching."

Hu Jingzhi thought to himself that this is really one person who has achieved the Tao, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, even a brother who is a concubine can marry a daughter who is a concubine.So he said with a smile: "You are relatives by marriage, the Xue family is well, Brother Chen can follow suit."

Chen Yejun sneered and said, "I don't have that fate."

"...Speaking of which, why didn't the Rongguo Mansion owe the treasury money?" Hu Jingzhi asked suddenly.

Chen Yejun was caught off guard and blurted out: "He is very shrewd, maybe it has been forgotten." After speaking, he cautiously went to see Hu Jingzhi.

Hu Jingzhi just pretended not to hear, followed Chen Yejun to Ningrong Street, and when Chen Yejun went to ask Jia Lian for money, he hid in the study and talked to Lai Da.

When Lai Da heard that the Rongguo Mansion did not owe the treasury any money, he paced back and forth with his hands behind his back and said, "This is absolutely impossible. I already owed a lot when I was in the mansion." Question: "You said that the Xue family is amazing?"

Hu Jingzhi nodded quickly.

Lai Da murmured again: "Strange, I don't know what happened to the Xue family? Why did they turn over again?" Suddenly remembered something, so he wrote a letter and asked Hu Jingzhi to secretly send it to Nan'an Palace.

Hu Jingzhi took Lai Da's letter and took it out to read when he was out of the study. Seeing that Lai Da mentioned several irregularities in Jia's family in the letter and begged Nan'an Palace to investigate, he couldn't help but feel that Lai Da was at his wit's end, so he hid the letter When he heard that Chen Yejun had come out of Rongguo Mansion, he hurriedly rode after him and showed the letter to Chen Yejun.

Chen Yejun first asked, "Where did you get this letter from?" Then he sneered and said, "It's been so long since Chen Zhima has rotted, it's gone." Returning the letter, he swept his eyes and saw King Bei Jing rode over and sat stiffly on the horse.

Hu Jingzhi was wondering why he didn't speak anymore, and when he turned his head, he saw King Beijing riding leisurely on his horse.

"My lord." Hu Jingzhi called out with a smile, secretly thinking that he should ask why the King of Beijing suddenly thanked him so much.

Shui Rong sat on the horse and nodded, and glanced at Chen Yejun, "I also said that you will stay behind closed doors."

Chen Yejun said stiffly: "I had no choice but to go out for a while." Lowering his head, he hurriedly went out of Ningrong Street.

King Bei Jing ignored him, and smiled at Hu Jingzhi: "I'm going to Rongguo Mansion, will you follow me?"

Hu Jingzhi thought about it, but refused to say: "I still have some things at home, I'm sorry." So he still led the horse into the house, and when King Jing's horse passed by, he was suddenly enlightened, thinking of Chen Yejun and being afraid at the same time. For Jia Lian and the King of Beijing, could it be that what Chen Yejun hid has something to do with the King of Beijing?

Thinking of this, Hu Jingzhi became excited again, and felt that if he knew what was going on in Chen Yejun's stomach, even the King of Beijing would not have to be afraid.So he hurriedly borrowed another 200 taels of silver from Lai Da, and asked Qin Xian's family to prepare food and wine to go to Chen Yejun's house.

It is said that King Shui Rong of Beijing rode a horse into Rongguo Mansion, first met Jia Mu, and then found Jia Lian to meet in the study outside.

I saw Jia Lian sitting on a low stool with a relaxed expression and cooking tea. After brewing a cup of tea, he handed it to King Beijing and said, "This is the snow water of Miaoyujiao. You can taste it, but if you can't taste it, it's just a tea." laity."

Shui Rong took the fine porcelain tea bowl, took a sip, and said, "How can my sister give you the snow water?"

Jia Lian said with a smile: "She hid the water under the flower tree. The mother-in-law didn't see it when she was fertilizing. She knocked it down with a hammer and broke the urn. She didn't want it."

Shui Rong coughed and put down the tea bowl, "Should I fertilize first, or break the urn first?"

"Can't you taste it? Laity." Jia Lian said with a smile, holding a bowl of tea as well.

When Shui Rong heard the word "fertilization", he felt that the water had a strange smell, but seeing Jia Lian drank it again, he felt that he must be teasing him, so he said, "I have seen the day, and in September next year, Lin Lin The girl took it."

Jia Lian turned the tea bowl, shook her head and said, "You really should have left her in Qianxiang Country."

Shui Rong was stunned and said: "Baoyu is like a fish in water staying in Qianxiang Country, what is Miss Lin doing in Qianxiang Country?"

"What is she going to do after entering your residence?" Jia Lian asked back, "Besides, you said that the date has been set, I'm afraid the concubine has not nodded yet."

Shui Rong smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't make her feel wronged."

Jia Lian stroked her chin and said, "I'm not worried that she will be wronged, but if I let her go easily, doesn't it seem that you and I are too harmonious?"

"What do you want?" Shui Rong asked in surprise.

Jia Lian said with a smile: "The Nan'an Palace has long been displeased with me."

Shui Rong smiled and said: "Who told you to be open-minded, saying that the princess of the other country made a mistake and mixed the Nan'an Palace into the lawsuit between Zhou and Wu."

"That's not what I said." Jia Lian said.

"So, you asked me to go to Nan'an Palace to defend you?"

"No," Jia Lian narrowed his eyes slightly, "Please ask the prince to go to Nan'an Palace, and tell me that when Zhou and Wu were building gardens, I embezzled money from Zhou and Wu."

"Are you trying to set yourself on fire?" Shui Rong frowned in confusion.

Jia Lian said with a smile: "How can you set people's city gates on fire without setting yourself on fire?"

Shui Rong patted his forehead, and realized: "Are you going to lure out the master who embezzled more money from Zhou and Wu? That's all, I'm going to take the blame for you again." Standing up, he laughed again and said : "I'll go and see Miss Lin before I leave."

"Look at what? Where is Jia's house, you can see it when you come?" Jia Lian sneered.

Shui Rong was startled for a while, then smiled, then turned his face coldly and turned away.

Jia Lian waited for him to leave, took another sip of the snow water, and then spit it out, thinking to herself, is the snow water really good?After getting up, he walked back slowly, and when he reached the corner gate, he saw Zhao Tianliang leading an imperial doctor out while congratulating him.

Jia Lian then went to Dongkua courtyard, and as expected, in Dongkua courtyard, Liu Xianglian said happily, "Second master, the eldest girl is here."

"How many months?" Jia Lian asked.

Liu Xianglian said with a smile: "It is said that it has been a full three months."

Jia Lian patted Liu Xianglian on the shoulder with his hand, and went into the room again, only to see Yingchun lying on the bed in the room, beside Xing Yanyan, Lin Daiyu, Li Wen, and Li Qi who came to congratulate her, they listened to the yard again. There was laughter in the room, probably Amber, the parrot, etc. also came to congratulate.

Jia Lian saw that there were all women there, so he said to Yingchun, "Be good at taking care of yourself", and went out. Seeing that Liu Xianglian was also happy but not easy to surround her, she asked him, "Is your sister-in-law here? "

Liu Xianglian hurriedly said: "My sister-in-law has been here, and now she is leading people to pick materials from the warehouse in the garden behind to make small clothes."

After hearing this, Jia Lian went to the back garden in a hurry, and within a few steps, she heard the mandarin duck come over and say: "The man from Baojun Wang's mansion said that we are happy to visit the girl, and the old lady asked the second master and second grandmother to weigh and send some things over. "

"Is the princess still not moving?" Jia Lian asked.

Yuanyang shook his head, thinking about the fragile appearance of Princess Baojun, and sighed: "If the princess wants to be happy, it will be difficult."

"Send the gift to the concubine. Even though they are close, no one is allowed to pay Tanchun arbitrarily. In everything, respect the concubine first."

"Yes." Yuanyang agreed, and said in a low voice, "I don't know who is responsible for releasing Aunt Zhao and throwing her on the street. Aunt Zhao is crazy, and she always says that she is the mother of the princess of Baojun Prince's Mansion." Miss Tan asked Second Master Lian to handle this matter for her."

Jia Lian knew that if Tanchun did not recognize Aunt Zhao, she would be heartless and would be stabbed in the back. If she did, someone would laugh at her mother-in-law, so she didn't look back and said, "I'll ask the prince to general Aunt Zhao. Take it back to the house."

"Will the prince agree?" Yuanyang asked in surprise.

Jia Lian said with a smile: "Now that things are up to now, he will be willing if he refuses." As he spoke, he strode out, and when he got outside, he didn't ride a horse. Just ask someone to pass it on.

After entering with the servants of the palace, he saw King Baojun with his forehead strangled and wearing red arrow sleeves, standing in the courtyard of the study and shooting a target, so he walked up to him and said with a smile: "My lord is very elegant."

King Baojun held a bow and arrow, and said with a smile: "I have nothing to do left and right, thinking about the war in the south, I thought it would be better to practice bow and arrow." As he spoke, he shot out a feather arrow .

Jia Lian looked at the trembling feathered arrow nailed on the target, and said with a smile: "Good arrow skills! Does the prince know the concubine's aunt?"

King Baojun was startled, and said: "Didn't she go to prison?" Then he smiled and said, "Fortunately, Tanchun understands righteousness, and didn't say anything about the prince helping her brother and aunt out of prison."

"Now Aunt Zhao has been released and thrown on the street." Jia Lian said with her hands behind her back.

King Baojun was startled, and when he saw Jia Lian looking at him, he smiled and said, "You came here to tell me that you asked me to pick him up?" He went to pick it up generously, so he thrust the bow and arrow into the hand of the servant, and immediately told the servant to prepare his horse and go out to the street.

Sure enough, on an important road in the capital, I saw Aunt Zhao with a scar on her cheekbone and a very hideous face, disheveled and telling everyone that she was the mother-in-law of King Baojun.

Without further ado, King Baojun ordered Aunt Zhao to be invited into the sedan chair.

Aunt Zhao only heard that it was the King of Baojun, secretly thought that this was her son-in-law, she felt decent, she got on the sedan chair with a grin, and followed the sedan chair all the way back to the county prince's mansion.

After returning to the palace of the king of the county, the king of Baojun ordered Aunt Zhao to be sent to Tanchun's courtyard.

Tanchun was worrying about how to deal with Aunt Zhao, but Aunt Zhao was sent here, so with an ugly face, she hurriedly asked the princess to ask the doctor to show Aunt Zhao, and was busy getting some clean clothes for her to wear.

After finishing all this work, Tanchun sat in the room, staring at Aunt Zhao who was full of color, without saying a word.

Although Aunt Zhao suffered a lot, she felt honorable because her son-in-law went to pick her up in person. Moreover, when she just washed up, she learned from the little girl that Tanchun had a happy pulse, and she became more and more proud. Touch it, then look at it, and finally pretended to bless the body and said: "Wanfu Wangfei."

"Shut up and sit down." Tan Chun said sullenly.

Aunt Zhao sat down resentfully, and said, "Princess, think of a way..."

"Who is the princess?" Tan Chun sneered, "The princess lives in the upper room."

Aunt Zhao said coyly: "Her concubine may not be able to sit for a few days. You didn't see that when the prince went to pick me up, he was smiling, just like flattering the mother-in-law."

The more Tanchun heard it, the more he had a headache. He closed his eyes and said, "If Auntie is more honest, she can stay with me, otherwise, I will send you to the wife in the country right away."

Aunt Zhao shivered, and then said with a smile on her face: "Young lady, think of a way, let's get Huan'er out."

"Auntie give up, Huan'er won't be able to get out. Don't Auntie know? He is in prison, and he was instigated by others to speak ill of the prince. If it wasn't for Mrs. Fang's efforts to turn the tide, how could the prince get the word 'treasure'? Tanchun glanced at Aunt Zhao, and reprimanded, "In the future, don't mention what the mother-in-law and son-in-law say, lest others listen to the joke."

Aunt Zhao saw that Tanchun was stronger than before when she was at home, she was too frightened to speak, looked at her carefully, and sighed: "You are getting better and better, if it wasn't for someone else, I wouldn't even recognize her."

Tanchun's heart moved, and he saw Aunt Zhao crying again, so he hugged Aunt Zhao and cried together.

After crying a lot, Tanchun reluctantly waited for Aunt Zhao to visit the princess.

When she arrived at the princess's room, Aunt Zhao saw that the princess was lying on the bed and coughing, she seemed very timid, so she couldn't help feeling complacent.

Seeing that the corners of Aunt Zhao's lips were curled up, Tanchun quickly led her back to her own yard, and sent Aunt Zhao to rest. After gathering her composure, she learned that King Baojun was coming, so she went to greet her.

"...Why did your lord bring her back?" Tan Chun took off the outer clothes for King Baojun with red eyes.

King Baojun laughed and said, "Your Lian's second brother came and said it."

Tan Chun thought that only Bao Jun Wang would pick him up, so that there would be less gossip, so he said, "I will enter the palace on the [-]th day of this month to greet you, does the lord have something to say to the empress?"

"No, I often see my mother and concubine." King Baojun sat down on the chair beside the bed as he spoke, and saw that Tanchun had written half a word, so he went to look at her handwriting, which was as heroic as hers, Can't help but copy a word on the side, and then asked her: "How is your second brother Lian?"

"Why does the prince ask such a question?"

King Baojun lowered his head and smiled and said, "It is said that he and Xue Pan are brothers. I don't know what he thinks when Concubine Xiande gave birth to her ninth younger brother."

Tanchun gave a heartbeat, then said with a smile, "The one my second brother Lian likes must be the best. Why don't you ask your second brother Lian to see if you are the best?"

"Then what you see is the best?"

"Naturally." Tanchun smiled and leaned against the table.

King Baojun couldn't help reaching out his hand to touch her lower abdomen, and sighed: "This is my eldest son."

"It would be great if it were the eldest daughter." Tanchun sighed, pointing to the upper room and said, "My lord, go and see the princess, she is sick, I can't even go to greet her."

King Baojun put his hand away, smiled, and went.

On the fifteenth day, the concubine was still not well, so Tanchun sat in a sedan chair and entered the palace alone to pay her respects. She came out of the Empress Dowager's Palace and went straight into the Yuxiu Palace. He stopped awkwardly.

Seeing Tanchun coming, Xue Baochai smiled and said, "Sister Xunfang, are you here to talk?"

"Yes."

"Go, Sister Fang has been punished to contemplate her mistakes behind closed doors for the past two days, and she is feeling bored. I was going to stay with her, but the birth of Jiuer was too much trouble." Xue Baochai said with a smile, and was surrounded by a group of palace people and went to the East Palace. .

When Tanchun heard that Fang Wenhui was punished to close the door and think about his mistakes, he was startled, and hurriedly led the people to the room, staggered a bit on the steps, and then slowed down when he heard a "be careful" from inside, and entered the palace. In the middle of the day, smelling the tangy scent of osmanthus, he coughed and said with a smile, "Why are you spreading so much fragrance?"

"It's about getting rid of bad luck." Fang Wenhui said with a smile, and personally supported Tanchun to sit down in the room, "You are pregnant, and why do you go to the palace to ask for safety again? Just ask the princess to come." Before Tanchun could answer, she went again Said, "Princess is sick?"

Tanchun didn't dare to sit down, so he stood up again, "Princess Wangfei became groggy when autumn came, and she only said that she was not in good spirits."

Fang Wenhui sat down and said with a smile: "Wang Ye went to take your aunt back to the house?"

Tanchun's face turned pale, "Your Majesty also knows?"

"How could I not know? Someone has been waiting to talk to me, don't forget, the concubine's surname is Fang." Fang Wenhui smiled, peeled the orange and handed it to Tanchun.

Tanchun took the orange, put a piece into his mouth, and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, what is the reason for thinking behind closed doors?"

"Juniors don't have to ask about the elders' affairs."

Tanchun saw that Fang Wenhui smiled easily, and gradually relaxed, just thinking about Xue Baochai's posture of being the leader of the group, he couldn't help worrying about Fang Wenhui, "...My lord, haven't you moved Concubine Xiande to another palace? "It's the same rank, and she gave birth to a prince. It is expected that Xue Baochai can't figure out why she should live in Fang Wenhui's side palace.

Fang Wenhui smiled again and said, "I've talked about the elders' affairs, so the younger generations don't have to ask about it." Then she asked Tanchun how she was, and sent her back with a bag of small clothes that she had made earlier. Tanchun said, "Let the king of the county be good to follow the king of Nan'an to do things. If there is any difficulty, just ask the other princes."

Tanchun listened to what Fang Wenhui meant, that the king of Baojun was about to take a serious errand, so he hurriedly agreed, and came out with a bag of clothes. The son came to inquire about Fang Wenhui's thoughts behind closed doors, so he returned her vaguely, and left the palace in a sedan chair.Back at the Prince's Mansion, I heard that King Baojun was in Huifang Garden, and he walked there with a little girl instead of a sedan chair.

Sure enough, he saw King Baojun sitting by the water pavilion built by the mountain and fishing, so he walked towards the water pavilion, and saw Aunt Zhao approaching happily holding a plate of snacks, and a layer of anger surfaced on his face again.

As I got closer, I heard Aunt Zhao laughing and said: "My lord, come and taste it. I'm going to pay my respects to the old lady today, and the old lady will reward me. I haven't been so respectable in many years."

Tanchun's face was ashen, King Baojun pinched a piece of snack, said with a smile: "Take this snack to lure the fish over, will my aunt feel distressed?"

Aunt Zhao said with a smile: "Why is this distressing? Once the prince is happy to reward him, he will have enough snacks to make the fish in this pond die."

King Baojun was taken aback.

"Cough." Tanchun couldn't help coughing.

Aunt Zhao knew that Tanchun didn't like her approaching King Baojun, so she left a snack and went.

"Come back from the palace?"

"Yes." Tanchun agreed, and sat down next to King Baojun, "Your Majesty seems to have been punished to think behind closed doors."

King Baojun was stunned, "...What kind of closed door thinking about mistakes?"

"It seems to be," Tanchun thought of the word, but felt that it was not appropriate, so he said in Baojun Wang's ear, "It seems to be flirting."

King Baojun couldn't help being embarrassed, pushed the fox fur mattress under him, asked Tanchun to sit with him, and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"Your Majesty said, ask the prince to follow Nan'an County King's affairs. If there is any problem, just ask the other princes for advice."

King Baojun said with a smile, "I actually have an errand." Secretly, Qi Guifei was wise and entrusted him to Fang Wenhui on her deathbed.

"Here are the clothes made by the empress." Tanchun said, and took out a pile of bellybands and bibs for children in the bundle, and saw a vivid oriole bird embroidered on a bib, so he wrapped the bib On King Baojun's neck, he smiled and said, "Very good."

"Really match?" King Baojun raised his eyebrows, saw Tanchun smiling and suddenly looked to the side, he followed to look, and turned around when he saw the princess showing his face, sighed and said: "She just came here by herself, here she is." If you leave when you see someone talking, it will be boring for those who stay behind.”

Tanchun put away the bib and bellyband in his hand and put them back in the bag, got up and was about to leave.

King Baojun stretched out his hand to hold her, and said with a smile: "Sit down, after tomorrow, I have a serious errand, so I can't be idle like this."
