The Concubine of the Red Chamber

"Nishang!" After school, Princess Baoqing wanted to have a gathering with her sisters, and she ordered Jia Lan not to be an eyesore in front of her, so Jia Lan went straight back to the residence, listening to the nagging words of Nishang, Just before entering the door, Jia Lan stopped in her tracks and said, "If you don't want to stay with me, how about I help you go back to Concubine Zhen?"

Nishang paused, looked at Jia Lan in surprise, opened his mouth to say something but was stopped by Jia Lan, Jia Lan continued: "I don't care anymore, you are just serving me, if I am not good, you What benefits can I gain? Could it be that I want to be a palace servant next to Miss Hong's family?"

All the palace people around Miss Hong's family were dealt with. Although Nishang had a second-class status in front of Concubine Zhen, she was not a confidant and was not taken seriously. He just dared to betray, but now he stopped Jia Lan's words and trembled all over his body. Looking at Jia Lan's half-smile, he lowered his head silently, thinking that Miss Jia's family would not be favored. ...

"I am not difficult to serve, but no matter how difficult it is to serve, people who cannot tolerate betrayal around me, believe me, even if I am crushed in the mud, I can pull you to the bottom." She has thought a lot these days , she does not take the initiative to harm others, but she will never let others harm herself.When she was in Jia's house, even if she understood her situation and identity, she did a lot. The unharmonious relationship between Jia Shishi and Jia Daishan was not unrelated to her, let alone now?

Nishang no longer remembers how she got back on the couch. Her mind is full of Miss Jia's words now. The empress asked her to serve Miss Jia. At that time, she knew that Miss Jia was not to be favored, otherwise she would not have come by herself. The empress has arranged people to accompany the reader, and they are all the empress' eyeliner.The empress is now waiting for Miss Jia Jia to make a mistake so that she can be thrown back!If Miss Jia's words are right, it would be bad if she was kicked back because she made a mistake, but the one who served her... After thinking about it, Nishang felt more and more that she had done it before, and was a little afraid that if something happened, Jia Lan He was also implicated when the fish died and the net was broken.

After beating the neon clothes, Jia Lan closed his eyes and looked at the plum blossoms that had bloomed in the past two days. He collected all the dew in a jade bottle and poured it into his mouth. After a quarter of an hour, Jia Lan only felt comfortable all over, not even the slightest discomfort. No more, even the bruising on the knees has disappeared.

"Miss, the third princess invites you to the Royal Garden..." After lying down for a while, Nishang got up quickly. Miss Jia's maids should have learned the rules in just one month. Although Nishang's mind is full of confusion now, she dare not neglect her any longer. Miss Jia is not as cowardly and incompetent as she saw before. After a long time in the palace, you have already learned to read people's faces.As a result, not long after she got up, she saw Huan'er, the maid next to Princess Baoqing, reporting that she wanted Jia Lan to go there immediately, so she hurried over to report back.

Jia Lan nodded, motioned Nishang to comb her messy hair, changed her coat and followed her out.

Jia Lan has been to the Forbidden City, also to the film and television city, has seen the feasting, and has traveled all over the world. Although the scenery in the palace is good, even if there are only two palace people around, she never looks left and right.

Jia Lan's posture was not specially trained, but she didn't imitate the lowered head and eyes of the maids around her. Instead, she straightened her body, stared ahead, and walked forward generously.

After arriving at the imperial garden to salute the princesses, I heard the eldest princess Yuan An laughing and saying: "I heard from the third emperor's sister that your handwriting is not bad, it's like asking you to come and copy poems for us. It just so happens that you I’m also new here, so it’s good to get to know everyone.”

"My palace gave you a guarantee in front of the eldest sister. If you lose my people, they will go wherever they come from!" Princess Baoqing looked at Jia Lan coldly, and leaned forward to whisper in her ear. whispered.

"What did the third sister say? Did you scare this girl?" Princess Yongping smiled and covered her mouth with a round fan: "Miss Jia was personally chosen by the emperor for my younger sister, she must be good!"

Princess Baoqing snorted coldly and sat in her seat. Jia Lan was guided to the book case obediently. Jia Lan had seen the Red Chamber, but only remembered a few lines of the poems inside. But good or bad can still be heard, although the oldest princess present, Princess Yuan'an, is only thirteen, but thinking of Jia Min's intelligence, Jia Lan does not feel underestimated, and honestly composes poems among the princesses and princesses. , write it down.

Apparently Jia Lan made a wrong estimate. If it wasn't for being clumsy, it seems that there are not many women in the world who are as intelligent as Jia Min, and the most outstanding Princess Yuan'an's poems are only good but not outstanding.But even so, Jia Lan wrote it all down seriously.

Jia Lan followed Jia Min to learn Mrs. Wei's hairpin, and she has worked very hard since learning calligraphy, even copying Buddhist scriptures for Jia Shishi, she is very serious.Although she was only eight years old, she could read the words well, even if she wanted to find fault, she didn't say anything.

"The writing is really good. Father has always had a good eye." After reading it, Princess Yuan An nodded and praised Zeng.But the eight-year-old can write neatly, with a good word, isn't it good?

Upon hearing this, Jia Lan smiled shyly and dared not interrupt.

Seeing that Jia Lan didn't embarrass herself, Princess Baoqing felt a little better at first, but after listening to the elder sister's words, her mood became even worse.Couldn't it be that the royal father chose it, so it's not easy for me to change it?She used to be the most favored princess among all the princesses, but now...Princess Baoqing once again realized the importance of sacred favor. Even if she saw the queen, she would not wrong herself, but now...Princess Baoqing suddenly felt that Changing reading partner is not the most urgent thing, she wants to restore her previous grace, looking at the flowers in her hand, she thought gloomyly.

There are not many times when Jia Lan needs to talk. Except for the joke at the beginning, everyone treats him as a transparent person. Jia Lan doesn't care. This is the first time she has seen the social interaction of ancient ladies.Even if she is unhappy in her heart, she can pretend to some extent, but even the five-year-old fifth princess Yuan Chun has a smile on her face.The princess and princess read a lot of poems in the Royal Garden with her companions. Jia Lan couldn't help but get distracted seeing the gentle but full of content of these noble girls' words, it's not easy!

To be honest, Jia Lan has been thinking about his future since entering the palace. Even though he clearly recognized the current situation and his status, Jia Lan still couldn't imagine that he would become a man with a face. A woman who smirked and gossiped with the crowd.Father is not father, son is not son, daughter is not daughter, too many constraints, too many constraints, if she has no experience of later generations, but is just an ordinary ancient, maybe she will not feel so sad, then she will be assimilated and agree with such a life.But Jia Lan can't do it now. She once thought about adding someone who is not too bad when she grows up, and manage her marriage well. If it doesn't work, then don't wrong yourself and just live a comfortable life. Anyway Even if he is not happy, Jia Shishi will not allow himself to be a concubine to discredit the Duke's family. No matter how hard life is, it is good to be alive.But now, Jia Lan suddenly felt a little reconciled. She wanted to live a more reckless life, more like herself before. Want to prove that I am still myself.

The companion Jia Lan who was present was the least experienced, because Jia Lan would embarrass herself because of Princess Baoqing’s behavior, but today she was exceptionally silent, but the second princess’ companion who was born in an imperial business was called by the second princess as a maid of honor for a while.

"That's Miss Liu from Suzhou. Her family has a business of enshrining silk cloth in the palace." Although Nishang is not useful, she knows a lot, and now she is being fooled by Jia Lan again, so she is honest replied.After finishing speaking, she couldn't help but said: "When I was at Concubine Zhen's place, I happened to hear the words of sister Chun Yu who was in the same room and Nanny Ping who was in front of the master, and said that it was... that Miss Liu was the third prince. I like the one who entangled Concubine An to raise her status in the palace."

The Wu family in front of the fourth princess was also born under the emperor, but her elder sister is the concubine Yigui who the emperor favored very much recently, and there is also the tenth son of the emperor Jun Zeyi who is two years old under her knees, who is the youngest son of today, the concubine Yigui who is the third rank The fourth princess's biological mother was three levels higher than the fourth grade of Chun Wanyi, so even if her background was not obvious, Wu still had a lot of face in front of the fourth princess.Chun Wanyi belongs to the empress, so Yigui's concubine, Mrs. Wu, is also in the empress's family.From this point of view, the status of the queen is very stable, but the relationship between the prince and other princes is by no means harmonious.

Jia Lan has a basic understanding of the factions in the palace based on the companionship between the prince and the princess and their Jia Ting situation. Jia Lan doesn't know who the future emperor will be?Since Emperor Longchang succeeded to the throne, the eldest son has been named the prince. This prince has a good reputation, but when the Jia Zhou family was there, Jia Lan had heard that the queen was pregnant by the second prince's biological mother, Wang Jie. After Yu, she was born one month prematurely. The crown prince Jun Zehao was born in the twelfth lunar month, while the second prince was born full-term in the first month, because the prince's body was not as healthy as the second prince's.

Since ancient times, there are not many princes who can succeed to the throne normally, let alone a prince who is not very healthy. Not only that, Emperor Longchang is very concerned about the education of his children. Although he loves the prince the most, he also pays attention to the education of other sons Very tight, even the fifth prince, who he dislikes the most, can't let up in his studies.Jia Lan can guess the pressure of the Queen's family almost without thinking. Even though his position is stable and the emperor respects him, he has more worries.
