Honglou Xing

Xing had already sensed that Jia Zheng and his wife were looking at her in the wrong way, now that Yuan Chun deliberately kept her behind, she knew that she had something to say to him.Seeing that something was wrong, Jia Amnesty went up to call his wife, but was pulled back by Zhou Gonggong who was beside Jia Yuanchun.

Eunuch Zhou did not dare to offend Mr. Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, he smiled all over his face, and lowered his thin voice to persuade: "Your Majesty wants to talk privately with her aunt, Mr. Shang Shu, please don't meddle in it."

Jia Amnesty chuckled, looked at Eunuch Zhou, and asked him how long he had been serving Concubine Xiande.

"Since the empress made a concubine, the servant has been fortunate to serve in front of the empress." Eunuch Zhou laughed.

"Oh, which palace was it before?"

Eunuch Zhou was stunned for a moment, then smiled apologetically, "The slave used to belong to Jingning Palace."

Jingning Palace is the bedroom of the Empress.

Apparently, this Eunuch Zhou was the queen's eyeliner placed beside Concubine Xiande.The personal eunuch has been controlled, not to mention the big and small maids in her palace.No matter how favored this virtuous concubine is, she still can't compete with the vicious Concubine Wan and the empress with deep palaces.The fate of the future has already been predicted.

If she had repented at this moment, knew how to advance and retreat, and understood the principle of giving up the small to protect the big, maybe there would be a way to survive in the future, and she could really find a place in the harem.

Jia She sighed, and raised his eyebrows to look at Jia Zheng and his wife not far away. With his parents' shallow eyelids, they must not be able to help her in the palace.

Jia Yuanchun walked a few steps, and after a moment of silence, Fang stretched out his hand to grab Xing Shi.

Xing looked down at Jia Yuanchun's hand, Fang looked up at her with a sneer.

Jia Yuanchun stared at Xing Shi, still silent.

Xing's attitude was awkward, and he still had a slight smile on his mouth, not afraid of Jia Yuanchun's bluffing posture at the moment.

A paper tiger, Xing didn't believe that she had the ability to teach him a lesson.A concubine who only went home to visit relatives for half a day. Although she had a high status, she was a woman in the palace after all, and there were very few things she could do outside.

Jia Yuanchun was very surprised to see that the Xing family was not afraid of him, nor did he intend to repent.Think back when she entered the palace, how could her eldest aunt be like this?She has a petty temper and doesn't know how to do things. She looks like a little maid who has never seen the world, and she only knows how to fawn on her uncle.

Jia Yuanchun realized that during the years since he entered the palace, the people and things in his family had undergone earth-shaking changes.Her biological parents actually moved out of Rongxi Hall, and now even though her eldest uncle and his wife have left, Rongxi Hall is still empty and has not been returned to her parents.

The battle in the harem is no worse than that in the harem.Struggles for power are everywhere.

Of course, Jia Yuanchun had to help her parents, she couldn't just watch her biological parents suffer in vain.

"This garden is so beautiful, what do you think?" Jia Yuanchun asked Xing with a smile.

Mrs. Xing smiled and nodded: "As the empress said, it is indeed too beautiful."

"It's easy for me to watch the garden for a day, but I don't know how much effort, manpower and financial resources it will take to build the yard." Jia Yuanchun said with emotion.

"Second younger brother and second younger sibling really spent a lot of energy in this garden in order to welcome their mother and relatives." Xing replied objectively.

Jia Yuanchun pretended to be surprised, raised his eyebrows and looked at Xing: "Why, they are the only ones busy with the construction of this palace? That's really unfilial for me as a daughter."

Xing raised her eyes to look at Yuan Chun, and said with a slight smile, "The imperial court did not allocate money to show the construction of the palace."

Jia Yuanchun's attitude remained the same, his face was still full of spring, with a smile on his lips, but his eyes were much sharper than before.She looked at Xing Shi with unkind eyes, and only sighed slowly. "The emperor manages everything every day."

Jia Yuanchun was telling the Xing family in a disguised form that it wasn't that the emperor had no intention of paying for her to build a palace, he was just busy and forgot about it for a while.

Xing smiled, and didn't intend to meet a junior.

Seeing Xing Shi's disapproval, Jia Yuanchun's inner anger was completely irritated. She looked at Xing Shi coldly and suppressed the smile on her face. "We are family members, so why should we separate you and me? If we really want to make a clear distinction, can I not see you and uncle today for visiting relatives?"

"Your Majesty is joking." Mrs. Xing smiled, hearing Jia Yuanchun's anger, and lightly raised her eyes to meet hers.

At this time, the other party actually didn't even have the slightest intention to admit his mistake, and dared to look her directly in the eyes.It's just too presumptuous!

Jia Yuanchun squinted his eyes in anger, and was about to show off his power.

Xing suddenly said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, please consider carefully, once you say it, you can never take it back. Don't be afraid to tell your Majesty the truth, the concubine and the master are stingy people, and it is easy to hold grudges. "

Being threatened, Jia Yuanchun became even angrier, and asked coldly, "What do you mean?"

"The empress should always think about the future. Since ancient times, the king's heart has been unpredictable. In the harem, how many women can always be honored and favored? Another example is today's Concubine Wan. The children are the guarantor, what about the empress?"

Jia Yuanchun was terrified, looked at Xing Shi in horror, and asked her what she meant.

Xing smiled but said nothing, looking at Jia Yuanchun with a smile.Her implication is obvious: you still want to go.

As soon as Jia Yuanchun rolled his eyes, he understood the reason.The eldest aunt was warning her to be more upright and not to offend her, otherwise she and her uncle would hold grudges and would not be her backing in the future.Even though she is in the deep palace, the influence of her natal family is very important to her.Without the relationship between her uncle and the Rongguo Mansion, she would have become a thin-skinned softie in the palace, which would be broken at the first touch.

Even if Jia Yuanchun wanted to teach Xing a lesson, after hearing such a threat, she had to hold back.

Jia Amnesty took the opportunity to call Mrs. Xing to her side, and asked her if she had been wronged.He doesn't care about Xiande concubine or Xianjing concubine, whoever dares to disrespect his daughter-in-law.When he meets people and kills people, and Buddhas, he will show no mercy!

Xing suddenly felt the murderous look in Jia She's eyes, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to pull his sleeve secretly, smiled and shook his head.

Mrs. Wang and Jia Zheng have been secretly watching from the sidelines, gloating.

In this matter, the two still felt that the play hadn't started, so why did it end?The husband and wife looked at each other in confusion, and Mrs. Wang approached her daughter suspiciously, wanting to ask her what was going on.

Jia Yuanchun looked at his mother in embarrassment, not knowing how to explain.He couldn't tell her in person that he didn't do well in the palace, and he was also a coward. In the future, he would have to rely on his uncle, who was in the Ministry of Officials, as a guarantee for her.

Jia Yuanchun was afraid that saying these words would make his mother even more sad.She deliberately raised her head and rubbed her forehead.Seeing this, Eunuch Zhou hurriedly asked Concubine Xiande if she was tired.Jia Yuanchun nodded, and Eunuch Zhou rushed to take a nap with his master.And Mrs. Wang, who was asking questions just now, was left alone, and there was no half reply.

Mrs. Wang looked awkwardly at the eldest daughter who was walking in front of her in bright and rich clothes, her heart was filled with bitterness, she was extremely disappointed.

Jia Zheng didn't understand, so he frowned and went to Mrs. Wang's side: "What's going on?"

Mrs. Wang smiled awkwardly: "Your Majesty is tired, let's ask after she rests for a while."

Jia Zheng believed in his own daughter, so he nodded without thinking too much.

Taking advantage of the time when everyone was resting, Xing also went back to Rongxi Hall for the time being, and Jia Lian was called in for questioning: "I just told you to take someone to look outside, is there anyone suspicious?"

Jia Lian nodded, and looked at his aunt in admiration: "Yes, outside our palace, there are two young men with wicked eyebrows and mouse eyes wandering back and forth, not knowing what to look at. The son wanted to be arrested for interrogation, but later he was afraid of scaring the snake, so let them be spared for the time being. .My son has sent someone to follow them, but I want to see who their master is."

"You did the right thing, don't startle the snake, the other party is very powerful." Xing said with a smile.

Hearing this, Jia Lian became more cautious.Even the calm eldest wife said that she was amazing, but he was really curious about what kind of family she was.

After dismissing Jia Lian, Jia She, who had been silent just now, spoke. "It must be the Zhou family."

"Concubine Wan's natal family?"

Jia Amnesty nodded.In the past few days, he was also being followed by people. Jia She sent people to pay attention, and it was the Zhou family who checked.It must not be a coincidence that something like this happened today.It seems that Concubine Wan has her eyes on Jia Yuanchun and will attack him in the near future.The stalking extended from inside the palace to outside the palace, it can be seen that Concubine Wan is trying to grasp it with both hands.

Concubine Wangui must passbook the idea: Once she is unable to deal with Concubine Xiande in the palace, she will find a way to find faults and leaks from her natal family.If Jia Yuanchun's natal family was taken away together, the virtuous concubine in the palace would naturally fall.

"As expected of a noble concubine," the trick is bad enough!Xing sneered.I don't think it's strange in my heart, how could the master in the palace be able to sneak into that position step by step, how could he have no wrists?Those who can live for a long time in the palace are not good people.

"What should I do?" Xing raised her eyebrows and asked Jia Amnesty.

Jia She moved his eyeballs, curled his lips and smiled at his daughter-in-law: "It depends on whether this virtuous concubine is a sensible one. If she is sensible, you can keep her. If not, abandon the car and keep her handsome."

"Okay, leave it to me to test her."

The Xing family immediately recruited Musk Moon and whispered to her.Musk Moon nodded, turned around and wandered to the place where Concubine Xiande was resting.After a while, I saw the maids entering the courtyard with the washing utensils, and Musk Moon followed in and stood guard outside.After a while, a few maids came out and waited in the yard.

Musk Moon hurriedly grabbed one of them, and asked her with a smile: "So you are here, but it is easy for me to find you."

The maid looked at She Yue strangely: "I know you?"

She Yue raised her voice and said, "Guess what I heard just now, Second Master Lian said that there are two dubious people circling our mansion with evil intentions."

"Who is making noise outside, disturbing the quietness of the empress, and still not kneeling down!" Duke Zhou opened the door, and when he saw Sheyue, he roared fiercely.

Jia Yuanchun then walked out, looked at Sheyue, and said in surprise: "I remember you, aren't you the maid next to Baoyu? When I entered the palace, you were only so tall, so clever."

"Slaves are terrified." Musk Moon said nervously.

"Don't mind, come and talk in the room." Jia Yuanchun smiled kindly.

Musk Moon then entered the house.

Jia Yuanchun asked her to repeat what she had just said, and asked him if the two sneaky people had been caught.

Musk Moon nodded: "Second Master took them and beat them hard before letting them go. The two of them yelled 'wronged' and 'Zhou' while beating them."

Jia Yuanchun stopped holding the soup cup, and looked at Musk Moon in surprise: "Zhou? Who did you listen to?"

"When the slaves went to the front yard to serve tea, they heard the discussion between the second master Lian and the servants."

week?Isn't Concubine Wan's natal family surnamed Zhou?Jia Yuanchun shivered, lost all good mood, and even began to worry about his fate of returning to the palace.It seems that Concubine Wan is going to kill her. If she can't find anything wrong with her, she will investigate her natal family.Although Jia Yuanchun wanted to face her own family, the facts were in front of her eyes, and she couldn't allow her to deny it. Her natal family was not investigated.With Concubine Wan's skills, Rong Mansion will be checked out by her in a few days.

For some reason, Jia Yuanchun's mind is full of the words Xing warned him earlier.What she said was so right, if she wanted to live well in the palace, she could not do without the security of her natal family, so her high-ranking uncle could not offend her.

Mrs. Wang and Jia Zheng heard that Concubine Xiande had finished her nap, so they hurriedly asked someone to report that they wanted to see Concubine Xiande.

Jia Yuanchun rubbed his swollen head, sorted out his emotions, and met his mother and father.

"Ma'am, what I told you earlier," Mrs. Wang hinted.

Jia Yuanchun smiled and nodded: "I see, mother, don't worry, I will deal with it myself. As for the cost of building the palace, I will ask the emperor to allocate money to compensate you when I return to the palace."

When Madam Wang heard it, she was happy in her heart, but she said: "Your father and I don't care about this little money, we just want to fight for one breath."

Yuan Chun was not in the mood to listen to his mother complaining about the family affairs, so he nodded and answered her perfunctorily.

"Over there, I have to trouble your mother to worry about it." Mrs. Wang asked again.

Yuan Chun's head hurt even more, and he nodded indiscriminately.

Mrs. Wang suddenly said: "In a few days, your brother and Baochai's marriage will be held. He is in good times and bad times. The Xue family doesn't know it yet. Please trouble your mother to ask someone to reward her that day. It will grow her." For face, she has nothing to complain about."

Yuan Chun agreed, smiled and took Mrs. Wang's arm and went out to meet Jia Mu...

Before dusk, Concubine Xiande finally finished visiting her relatives and returned to the palace.

It was night when Xing and Jia Lian's daughter-in-law, Liu, were busy with follow-up matters and went to rest.

Jia Amnesty was still waiting for her in the room, when he saw his daughter-in-law came back, he quickly put down the memorial in his hand, and came over to give Mrs. Xing a shoulder and a back.

The Xing family was indeed exhausted, and Jia She's strength was just right.While waiting for the bath water, she became sleepy and fell asleep.

Jia Amnesty pinched for a while, and seeing that Xing was fast asleep, he carefully undressed Xing and carried her to the couch.He soaked the towel with hot water and wiped Xing's body before turning off the lights and resting.

At dawn the next day, Jia Amnesty opened his eyes in a daze, and stretched out his hand to touch his side, but he couldn't see Mrs. Xing.He stood up in shock, seeing the emptiness around him and the emptiness of the room, feeling inexplicably empty in his heart.

Xiaohong heard the commotion inside the house, and shouted outside: "Master is awake!"

The maids came in one after another to serve her. Jia She, with a gloomy face, opened his arms lazily and let the maids toss and get dressed.Seeing Master She's dark clouds overwhelmed him today, all the maidservants' hearts sank for a little bit, and they held their breaths, serving carefully and dutifully.

After Jia Amnesty was fully dressed, Fang Xing walked in through the curtain with a smile, as if he had timed it right.

When Jia Amnesty saw his wife again, he felt very at ease, and held her tightly.

Seeing this, the maids hurriedly lowered their heads, pretending not to look forward.

In the past, when husband and wife were intimate, it was fine in front of one or two personal servant girls, but now there are more than a dozen standing in front of them.Xing blushed early, shook Jia She's hand that was holding her, and asked him what happened today.

Jia She looked at Xing quietly, with a solemn expression.

Puzzled, Xing raised her head and tried Jia She's forehead, "I don't have a fever."

Xing's body was suddenly pulled forward, and the whole body fell into Jia She's arms without any accident.Xing's hot cheek was pressed against Jia She's chest, and she felt an inexplicable sense of security in her heart.Infinite warmth spreads from the heart, covering the whole body, full of warm happiness.

"master?"

Jia She lowered his head, put his thin lips close to Xing Shi's ear, and his breath plucked Xing Shi's earlobe vaguely. "Nice to have you."

Hearing this, Xing moved her eyebrows with emotion, "Master, what's wrong with you?"

Jia She held Xing's shoulders, faced her face to face, looked at her solemnly, and said in a very serious tone: "I had a nightmare. I dreamed that you left and left me."

Xing was slightly taken aback, and looked at Jia Amnesty in surprise.

Jia She pursed her lips and kissed Xing's mouth lightly. "Promise me, you are not allowed to go anywhere, you are my person, and you will always be."

Xing blinked, looked at General Jia Amnesty forbearance, and finally couldn't help it anymore, and laughed.

"why are you laughing?"

"Master, it's just a nightmare." Mrs. Xing patted the back of Jia She's hand as a sign of comfort, and then passed the meal.

Jia Amnesty grabbed Xing's hand, frowned and sighed: "One dream is enough to torture me. So outside of the dream, you must never leave me."

Xing nodded with a smile, she felt that if she did not agree, Jia Amnesty would definitely continue to tangle with her.

Seeing her agreeing, Jia She finally felt relieved and ate in peace.

Before serving, Mrs. Xing saw the memorial on the table and picked it up to see that it was only half written.Xing closed the memorial, waited for Jia Amnesty to finish his meal, and asked when he planned to hand over the memorial.

Jia amnesty was silent, in fact, he was also thinking about this issue.Time must be mastered skillfully to achieve the best results. "Wait another two days, I don't believe the Zhou family can hold something so quickly."

"They are from outside, so they are not as fast as we are from inside. Except for Wang Xifeng's two mistakes, that is, our children are not taught well, and they live indiscriminately. The other is the master."

"Me?" Jia She asked innocently.

"Master used to like to collect some ancient fans, and many of them were half bought and half snatched. For the current plan, we can only ask these people one by one to make up for the money, find a fair middleman to testify, and make a written statement. In this way, the people of the Zhou family Even if we find out, we can't use this as an excuse. As for the others, it's not our family's business if the child is not well disciplined after death. The Holy Majesty will be more or less considerate. Besides, isn't the master going to use that trick? Appropriate, balanced."

Jia Amnesty nodded, fully agreeing with Xing's statement.

"It's getting late, shall I send the master to court?" Mrs. Xing got up, and was pushed back to sit by Jia She in a short while.

"I've been busy since last night, you have to take a break. I'm such an adult, I can take care of myself." Jia She smiled and kissed Fushen on Xing's forehead, reluctant to look at her a few times, Fang Walk.Before leaving, Jia Amnesty did not forget to emphasize how "scary" his nightmare was.

It feels wonderful to be needed and depended on by someone you like.

Xing's whole body unconsciously fell into a state of joy.

After a while, Xiaohong smiled and handed the bill issued by the accountant to the eldest wife.

After taking a look at it, Mrs. Xing said with a smile: "There are still a few precious medicinal materials that we made up by ourselves that we didn't write down, that's all, just give her that, it's enough."

Xiaohong nodded, and couldn't help admiring the grand lady's magnanimity in her heart.The second wife was so arrogant to settle accounts with her master before, it's really hateful, if it were her, she would have to go through the accounts in front of her in detail, and see that she has made up the money for the medicine without missing a beat.

Xiaohong went to see Mrs. Wang while cursing in her heart.When she handed over the medicine list, Mrs. Wang's face turned completely dark.

Mrs. Wang didn't expect that after she and Mrs. Xing had a quarrel that day, she would actually send her a list of taking medicine.Mrs. Wang took the list and scanned it roughly, her eyes fell on the total number at the end of the paper. "2000 taels? I have only been ill for half a year, and it cost 2000 taels to take medicine and see a doctor?"

"This is just an imaginary number. How many medicines does the second wife need to use ginseng that is more than a hundred years old. This thing is not easy to get. The two are all obtained by the eldest wife through favors. Regardless of favors, just count the ones." The price of ginseng has more than doubled in 2000."

"Hehe, how can your wife treat me so well?" Mrs. Wang sneered, she didn't believe it.

"Master often says that saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Even if a cat or a dog is about to die of illness on the road, he has to rescue him, let alone the second wife is a relative of his own."

"What did you say!" Mrs. Wang waited for Xiaohong angrily, and compared her life with a cat or a dog?She is the golden branch and jade leaf of the Wang family.

Xiaohong shrank her neck, listening to Mrs. Wang's reprimand on the surface, but she was secretly happy in her heart.

Mrs. Wang sneered and rolled up the paper in her hand: "It seems that your wife didn't take your mother's words to heart." She specially asked Yuan Chun to clean up the couple, how dare she be so arrogant?Is it possible to cure their husband and wife for a big disrespectful crime?

"Your Majesty's words? Before your Majesty left, she sent eunuchs to deliver a message to the Eldest Master and the Eldest Wife, but she didn't say anything else. She only praised the Master and his wife for their hard work, and even rewarded a pair of jade wishes."

"What?" My own daughter actually did such a thing behind her back?Mrs. Wang couldn't believe it, it must be Xiao Hong, a bad-mouthed maid, talking nonsense.

"Second wife, if you don't believe me, you can ask the other people in my wife's room." After Xiaohong said, she pretended to remember something important, and said suddenly, "By the way, the eldest lady asked the servant to pass a message to you. The Elder Master is going to ask for a decree to cut down the title soon."
