The Concubine of the Red Chamber

Jia Min wants to enter the palace, Jia Lan doesn't want to and won't intervene, she just wants to be the best of herself, not because she is noble or cowardly, but because she doesn't want to cross the ruler in her heart, doesn't want to Become the kind of unscrupulous person that she once hated, and her parents who loved her the most once taught her, never let her heart be burdened with shackles.It has nothing to do with kindness or not, Jia Lan just doesn't want to let himself feel troubled by this matter.

For Jia Daishan, Jia Lan has no hope. Jia Shishi has malicious intentions towards her. Jia Lan feels that she must prepare for the worst. Madam Liu's Zhuangzi is Jia Lan's last escape route, so she hides it more. , but now that he has been discovered, no matter what the fifth prince thinks, Jia Lan doesn't want to passively hand over his fate to anyone.

In addition to attending classes and accompanying the three princesses, Jia Lan asked people to buy a lot of current rouge powder and began to study it. Although the makeup technology at this time was not as advanced as modern ones, there were many types of rouge at this time. There is a lot of energy and time on the face, especially women in the palace. Since ancient times, women and children are the best earners.

Most of the rouge and gouache at this time contain heavy lead, of course there are better ones, the offerings in the palace are of course good, even the concubine Xian is now in her thirties, but she still looks like a young woman in her 20s, But the price involved is not something ordinary people can bear. The palace represents the highest level at the moment. Jia Lan can see the inappropriateness from the makeup of the concubine Xian, so he is very fond of his rouge shop. confidence.

"Ordinary rouge is only a few tens of dollars, and the better ones we use in the mansion are only a few hundred dollars... The ones given to the young lady in the palace are not high-end products, they are better than the ones given to the young lady in the mansion. At least, it will be very beautiful if you use it." Seeing that Jia Lan was interested in rouge, Shao Yao told all she knew.Jia Lan is not difficult to serve, Shao Yao feels more at ease, the master told her to try her best to protect the third lady, but also to teach the third lady not to do things that endanger the house.Looking at Shao Yao these days, Jia Lan is indeed honest and well-behaved, and Shao Yao has told Jia Daishan the truth.Apart from being more dependent on Nanny Shen and trusting Huier more, Shaoyao felt a little uncomfortable. Shaoyao was actually very satisfied with staying by Jia Lan's side.

Jia Lan nodded, Shaoyao belonged to Jia Daishan, she didn't know about the Fifth Prince, and Jia Lan wasn't going to tell her, once she knew, Jia Daishan would know, and what Jia Daishan would do at that time, Jia Lan could almost Guess it.But she couldn't be divorced from Shaoyao, so she comforted her softly: "I've wronged my sister these days, Huier hasn't experienced anything, and Mother Shen is a member of the palace, so the only one I need by my side is my sister."

After hearing what Jia Lan said, Shao Yao felt a lot more comfortable, and laughed repeatedly, saying that she was not wronged.

Jia Lan didn't care about Jia Min's job as a companion, but someone in the palace cared very much. Princess Baoqing learned that she didn't want to be her companion at the beginning, but now she was rushing to be the companion of the five princesses, and her heart was full of malice. , now she still doesn't like Jia Lan, but obviously compared to Jia Lan, Princess Baoqing hates Jia Min who was praised by Zhen Yingjia the most, but now she no longer has the temper that put everything on her face. He just complained endlessly in front of Concubine Xian and the sixth prince.

"The Rongguo Mansion is deceiving people too much. They know that that bitch is going to enter the palace, and they are still so close, but now it is even more..." Princess Baoqing said with a cold face and dissatisfaction.Jia Min unexpectedly appeared in Yuan Chun's companion reader, how could she swallow this breath.

Concubine Xian looked at the newly dyed nails indifferently, she was already a concubine now, it was impossible for a family to produce two high-ranking concubines, and Zhen Xianya's status in the palace was not considered low, so as long as she was there Even if she was favored again, she would not be able to pose a threat to herself as a childless child.But what my daughter said was right, what the Rongguo Mansion did was really disgusting.For Duke Rong's sake, Concubine Xian even told her daughter not to be too harsh on Miss Jia's third, but now, she wanted to do such a disgusting thing, Concubine Xian couldn't help but groan in her heart.

"Isn't Miss Jia Si not in good health? Baoqing, don't worry, Mother Concubine will definitely vent your anger on your behalf." Seeing her daughter getting so angry, Concubine Xian smiled and comforted her.

"No!" The sixth prince Jun Zeyang rubbed his forehead and stopped him: "Mother, concubine and younger sister are not allowed!"

"Why? Did my brother just watch me being humiliated like this?" Princess Baoqing suddenly turned her head and stared at Jun Zeyang.

Jun Zeyang held back the boredom among the people, and looked at the originally wise mother and concubine who seemed to be satisfied since becoming a virtuous concubine, he was very impatient, and explained in a low voice: "The prince has not been ill again these two days ?Sister right to be patient for the sake of my brother! The crown prince is unwell, not as healthy as his father, the second brother, the third brother and the fourth brother are all staring at each other. Now we have to bear it. The crown prince can only be wooed, not offended. The empress was already dissatisfied with her concubine's promotion to two ranks in a row, so she appointed the young lady of Rongguo Mansion to show her orthodox status, and now that concubine mother and younger sister are intervening, it's in their favor!"

Seeing her son's calmness, Concubine Xian smiled and said, "Since it's your brother's idea, Baoqing, you must not make trouble. Later...however you want to take revenge, Mother Concubine will definitely not stop it. But you can find a chance to take that Just get Jia Lan out." After speaking, she squeezed Princess Baoqing's hand, signaling her not to fight against her brother.

Princess Baoqing understood what this meant, so she nodded reluctantly.When my brother takes that seat in the future, not only Jia Min and Rongguo Mansion, but she will definitely not let go of anything that makes her ugly. If she dares to make herself unhappy for a while, she will make them unhappy for a lifetime!

"Good sister, I have wronged you! My brother will definitely repay you well in the future." Jun Zeyang saw Princess Baoqing nod his head, and he felt a little better. It is also very beneficial for him that the concubine mother and sister are stable. of.

Concubine Xian immediately felt better when she saw that her children got along well. There is no woman who entered the palace who did not want to be the Queen Mother. knelt down in front of him.So she will never allow any threat to her existence, when she cleans up Zhen Xianya, according to her understanding of her father, the entire Zhen family will definitely be of one mind with her, even the four kings and eight princes will completely turn against her.

The matter of choosing a companion to read was after the draft, and when the day came in early October, Jia Lan witnessed the grand event with his own eyes. The draft is not compulsory in this dynasty. If it is a candidate, it can be reported, and if it is not the person appointed by the emperor, it will generally be accepted.But even so, most people are willing to let their daughters win this honor.Therefore, every draft scene is extremely spectacular. Jia Lan watched the arrival of groups of cardamom girls with his own eyes, which immediately changed the atmosphere in the palace.In addition, it is said that most of the princes of the right age are a little restless.

With Concubine Xian and Emperor Longchang escorting her, Zhen Xianya comfortably passed the first test, which was the most unsightly for all the beautiful women, and then began to follow the rules. After the screening, she waited for the palace selection. Sister, on the contrary, she summoned Zhen Xianya frequently, and even Wu Wanjun said in Jia Lan's ears that Concubine Xian cared a lot for her sister.

"Sister Wu, Sister Chen, Sister Jia, let's go to the Royal Animal Garden! There are too many people in the Royal Garden recently." In order to better select beautiful women and check their character, so they are not always suppressed After learning the rules, the Royal Garden became a favorite place for beautiful girls. Princess Baoqing was impatient and always wanted to find something. When she heard that there were some white peacocks among the tributes this year, she wanted to go and have a look.

To go to the Royal Beast Garden, one must pass through the Royal Garden. Jia Lan looked at the lively and beautiful girls from the corner of his eyes, many of whom were outstanding in appearance, and thought that everyone wanted to be the emperor, so he woke up and the world was drunk. Lying on the lap of a beautiful woman is the wish of every man.

"Auntie, why are you here?" When Princess Baoqing was sitting on her shoulders and was about to pass the side door of the Royal Garden, she suddenly saw Zhen Xianya not far away, thinking of what her mother and concubine taught her, she felt a little gloating in her heart. He knew that Concubine Mu would definitely not let this disgusting Fifth Aunt go.

Although Princess Baoqing was not very friendly to Zhen Xianya recently, she did not make things difficult for her, which was much better than Zhen Xianya estimated.So hasten to kneel down and salute.

"My aunt can't be bothered. My concubine said that we are all one family. My aunt's behavior makes me a little uncomfortable." Princess Baoqing pretended to be surprised after Zhen Xianya knelt down.

Zhen Xianya said with a smile: "The princess is a proud body, and the courtiers just abide by the rules. The princess doesn't have to worry about it."

"Okay, okay, my aunt is like this, I don't know whether I should say hello to you next time I see you. If that's the case, Auntie, you go shopping, I'm leaving first!" Princess Baoqing raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and then Reluctantly said.

After everyone knelt on the ground and shouted to send the princess off, Princess Baoqing asked the palace servants to continue walking, but just after walking a few steps out of the imperial garden, she suddenly heard a scream from behind.

Princess Baoqing frowned and turned her head to look, she was a little dumbfounded...

"Miss Zhen's family is..." Jia Lan followed Princess Baoqing and turned her head, and heard Princess Baoqing yelling for the imperial doctor, knowing that it was Zhen Xianya who was screaming, and also heard that she was pushed by the beautiful girl next to her , and then fell to the ground, but was a little surprised at the painful screams from her hair, so she asked Nishang to inquire.But after Nishang came back, he kept hesitating, and it took him a long time to say softly under Jia Lan's persecution: "When Miss Zhen was pushed down, her stomach just hit the tip of a stone on one side, and she bled a lot. The person sealed it in time, but...but...someone still said that Miss Zhen had a miscarriage, otherwise there wouldn't be so much blood."

Miscarriage?Jia Lan was a little surprised, all the nuns in the palace were quite capable, so if Zhen Xianya really entered the palace innocently, they would definitely find out, and since they didn't find out, the tricks in it were obvious.Public miscarriage, there were quite a lot of people in the Royal Garden that day!This emperor is really ridiculous!
