After the Rebirth of the Red Chamber

The sage was just holding his breath, waiting for the grandson to get married, so that he could directly govern himself in the future without being manipulated by powerful officials.

Now that the grandson's marriage is over, the saint's heart relaxes, and his body quickly collapses.However, within three to five days, all the imperial doctors had no choice but to kneel down and plead guilty.

Taisun was so sad that he couldn't even eat, but he didn't dare to let the saint see it. He was afraid that the saint would leave uneasy, so he could only smile happily.

The sage leaned on the pillow and said with a weak smile: "Okay, okay, don't act like this. I have lived such a big age, and I have enjoyed power and wealth in my life, so I will die immediately. There is nothing to regret."

"What nonsense is the emperor's grandfather talking about?" The grandson quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said angrily, "You haven't hugged your great-grandson yet, why are you still alive?"

"What a silly child." The sage smiled, and he didn't know what to think of, and then warned, "You and your wife are both young, so don't be in a hurry to have a child. Whatever, you have to wait until your wife is eighteen." Let's talk."

When he was young, he was ignorant, and many children died, and several young concubines had dystocia during childbirth, killing two dead. "

At that time, he was so sad, he even wondered if he didn't have the fate of children at all, and wondered if the family of their disciples would end in his generation?

He had already suffered this kind of pain, so he naturally didn't want his grandson to suffer it again.

"Well, my grandson remembers it all." The grandson sniffed and nodded repeatedly, but couldn't hold back after all, tears rolled down his cheeks.

At this time, Yuan Wanniang came in with Gong'e, and what Gong'e was holding in her hand was the saint's decoction.

"Your Highness, it's time for the saint to take medicine."

Taisun hurriedly wiped away tears with his sleeves, got up to pick it up, "Come on, give it to me."

Yuan Wanniang covered the white jade bowl with a silver wire mesh, grated out a bowl of soup, and carefully handed it to the grandson, "Be careful, Your Highness."

The grandson took it over and said to Yuan Wanniang, "Thank you for your hard work."

Yuan Wanniang said: "How can it be hard to be filial on behalf of His Highness?"

Taisun didn't say any more, turned around and sat back on the couch, feeding the saint with medicine.

He actually knew that the Crown Princess was very dissatisfied because his wife followed him to perform filial piety at the saint's place.

The crown princess was already resentful because the sage adopted her grandson, but now she saw that her favorite daughter-in-law did not come to her to flatter her, but went to the sage with her son to show courteousness.

The unwillingness, dissatisfaction and even resentment in her heart almost exploded herself.

She is still a little sensible, she only vented in her own palace, and did not show the slightest outside.

But she forgot that the grandson is the real master of the East Palace now, even if the grandson has never placed any manpower with the crown princess, there are also some people rushing to disclose the affairs of the crown princess to the grandson.

Taisun only felt cold.

——No one in this palace knows that the saint is just a matter of this period of time.No matter how dissatisfied the crown princess is with the saint, can't she be considerate of an old man who is about to pass away at this time?

Taisun left his mother when he was eight years old, first followed his father, and then followed the saint.

It can be said that there is no deep relationship between the grandson and the princess.

Just like the concubine's dissatisfaction is that her son is not close to her, not that she cannot see her son often; the grandson's dissatisfaction is that her mother never thinks about herself, rather than the weak relationship between mother and child.

Now, when the sage was seriously ill, the crown princess not only showed no sadness, but was dissatisfied with the filial piety of the grandson and his wife before the sick bed.The already weak mother-child relationship in Taisun's heart became even weaker.

Seeing it in her eyes, Yuan Wanniang lightly raised her slender eyebrows, feeling a bit inferior to the princess in her heart.

——Obviously her son is already the heir apparent, and she herself will soon become the Empress Dowager, but she doesn't want to ease the relationship with her son, and instead pushes him further and further away...

It’s just that!

Yuan Wanniang just felt that it was full of bad points, and she didn't know where to start when she wanted to complain.

Although she was thinking all kinds of things, her face was calm.

Although the crown princess expressed her dissatisfaction with her, she did not cry out in front of the grandson.Not only that, but she also persuaded the grandson, "The empress dowager misses His Highness too much, and I hope His Highness can spend more time with her. Your Highness also needs to be considerate of a mother's heart."

miss?

Taisun sneered, patted the hand of his unsuspecting wife, and said softly: "Your Majesty's temper has always been like this, so don't take it to heart. As for other things, don't worry too much, lest you suffer for nothing."

Yuan Wanniang nodded with a smile, "I will listen to His Highness."

Seeing the tired look on Taisun's face, Yuan Wanniang hurriedly supported him to sit down, gently massaged his temples, but did not persuade him not to work too hard, but said: "His Royal Highness is rushing forward. , and I have to take care of the saint, I don’t have any great skills, so I can only take care of the East Palace for His Highness, so that His Highness won’t have to worry about the future.”

Taisun let out a long sigh of relief, "Thank you for your hard work."

"His Royal Highness and I are one body, so why not talk about hard work?"

Yuan Wanniang is very clear about what she wants, and she is very successful.

Judging from the saint's current physical condition, it was impossible for the two side concubines to enter the palace while the saint was alive.

Although it is said that the emperor keeps his filial piety and changes the moon with the sun, it is for the convenience of the new emperor to take power.If the new emperor really couldn't wait to accept his concubine as soon as he ascended the throne, he would definitely be criticized by the world.

Therefore, it must be at least two years before Lian and Zhao entered the palace.

The past three years were enough for her to seize the opportunity, walk into the grandson's heart, and become a wife who could stand with him through thick and thin.

******

Yuan Chun became more and more silent.

Ever since she failed the draft, Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang have been disappointed in her in various ways.It was as if she had done something heinous, a heinous crime.

Not only that, even her father, who always regarded himself as a gentleman, was obviously indifferent to her after learning that she had lost the election.

And sister-in-law Li Wan, how warm she was to herself before, how indifferent she is now.The kind of contempt and ridicule that he thought he had hidden well made Yuan Chun want to cry aggrieved.

Baoyu comforted her secretly, but he didn't dare to say a good word for her in front of her ancestors and mother.

Yuan Chun couldn't help but re-examine this younger brother.

——Because Baoyu was born with the title of jade, the whole family regarded him as a phoenix egg, thinking that he was a man of great fortune.Even she, when teaching Baoyu to read and write, saw him understand a little bit and drew inferences from one instance, thinking that he must be promising in the future.

However, it wasn't until today that Yuan Chun discovered that although Baoyu was clever and talented, he didn't even have the slightest responsibility.Such a person, no matter how many books he reads, what good will he do in the future?

Yuan Chun sighed, feeling that the only hope for their family was their elder brother Jia Zhu.

It's just that Jia Zhu's health has been bad, and it has gotten worse recently. I don't know if he can survive the next imperial examination?

"Girl, let's eat."

Baoqin and Guse took the little girl to bring Yuanchun's lunch, two meat and two vegetables, a bowl of mushroom soup, and a bowl of red corn rice.

Yuan Chun collected his thoughts and cleaned his hands under Baoqin's service.Guse brought her rice and half a bowl of soup for her.

Yuan Chun didn't have much appetite, so the rice didn't move, and he picked up the soup bowl and stirred it gently.

Gu Se couldn't help but complained: "The group of those who watched the dishes, the girl just failed the election, they treated the girl so harshly, and even gave the girl to eat these!"

Baoqin secretly tugged at her sleeve anxiously, and gave her winks repeatedly, telling her not to say these things, it would only make the girl sad.

On the contrary, Yuan Chun didn't care, and said with a smile, "How can this be harsh treatment? Isn't that what I used to do?"

Gu Se said unwillingly: "But a few days ago... oh! What are you doing holding the piano?"

Baoqin retracted the hand that was pinching her, and said flatly: "There is a thread on your sleeve, I broke it for you."

Yuan Chun glanced at Gu Se and said, "Go down and rest first, I'll just hold the qin here and serve you."

Or how to say it is lack of human heart.

Before the court draft, Yuanchun's order was two meat and two vegetables with one soup, and it has been like this for so many years.

However, some time ago, there were rumors in the family that she was born in Lunar New Year, had a great fortune, and should go to the palace to be a concubine.

The cook in the kitchen looks at the dishes, and often honors her with one or two special dishes or desserts.

Now that she has lost the election, seeing that she has nothing to gain, naturally he won't try to curry favor with her anymore.

But if you want to say harsh treatment or something, there is no such thing.After all, no matter how you say it, her mother, Mrs. Wang, is the head wife of this mansion, and no one dares to treat Mrs. Wang's children harshly.

Yuan Chun was naturally uncomfortable with these gaps at first.But she quickly adjusted her mentality, it shouldn't be the case for her to enjoy it, and naturally it is impossible for her to enjoy it forever.

After this incident, Yuan Chun felt that there was another benefit, that is, she could clearly see the behavior of the maidservants around her.

Baoqin is honest and honest, and really thinks about the master; Guse's eyelids are a little too shallow.

"I heard that Guse has been running into the old lady's yard these days?"

"Miss, let's get some food." Baoqin persuaded her worriedly, and then said, "She is always going to the old lady's place, and she always wants to post to Baoyu's."

In this regard, Baoqin has already persuaded Guse two or three times in private.But Gu Se wanted to climb higher branches with all her heart, so she stopped persuading her.

After all, people go to high places and water flows to low places, which cannot be persuaded.You are sensible and know that the person persuading you is for her own good, so even if you don't appreciate it, it won't annoy you.

I'm afraid that those people's brains will be confused by that, and if you have good intentions, she will think that you are jealous of her and want to cut off her Qingyun road.

Yuan Chun smiled inexplicably when he heard the words, and said lightly: "I will be a master and servant with her anyway. If she has the heart, I will help her, which can be regarded as the completion of the master-servant friendship of these years."

You know it when you hold the qin, and so does the drum zither.But she showed no sympathy.

They are slaves, they are not expensive, and they want to serve their master, so the master will not let them die.

But if someone wants to step on the master to climb to the top because of the master's young age and good temper, don't blame the master for not remembering the old love and making you fall hard.

"Girl, this little cucumber is a rarity this season, and the cold salad with balsamic vinegar is the most refreshing. Will my servant put it on for you?"

Seeing her anxious brows, Yuan Chun knew that she was worried about her body, so she couldn't help feeling warm, and finally took up the job, "Okay, put the cloth on me."
