The steward smiled and replied: "The little one is also wondering, the people from the Internal Affairs Bureau are very polite to us, and the young one wonders if Mr. She has some old friends in the Internal Affairs Bureau, so he takes special care of us."

Xing felt that something was wrong, so he dismissed the steward for the time being.When Jia Amnesty came back, he asked him about this time.

Jia She frowned, shook his head and denied it.If the husband and wife count together, this matter is most likely the idea of ​​Concubine Xian De in the palace.Once the two of them figured this out, they also understood the meaning of Concubine Xiande's move, which was nothing more than to favor the eldest family, and hoped that their husband and wife could help her in the future.

Xing thought it over a few times and decided to proceed from the best interests.

"She handled the matter of the second room well, and didn't cause any trouble. After all, we are a family, and she is sensible and interesting. She can help us a few times. Now that the Rong Mansion is gone, the one who cut the noble, the one who cut the noble, We have also admitted all the mistakes that should be admitted. We will not provoke anyone, and we don’t have to be afraid of the big tree. Looking back, there are people in our palace, and they will have a deterrent power to the outside. If the master really offends someone carelessly in the future, we will No one dares to easily attack the forces inside and outside the palace, this is the best way."

Since he was hanging out in the rich and romantic place of the capital, there is no reason not to look forward when he has the opportunity.The most taboo of being an official is to be caught in the middle. Those who are not up to the top should do some thankless work.

Jia Amnesty also had this in mind, he was afraid that his wife would be jealous of the second wife, but now seeing that she is the same as he thought, he was extremely moved.Xing is worthy of being the person he identified from the beginning. The couple have many similarities and ideas.Perhaps this is the so-called deep affection, harmony and harmony, Jia She thought happily.

It is enough for Jia Amnesty to have her in this life, and as for getting wealth and wealth by the way, it is also a good thing, there is no reason to give up the opportunity.

The couple had just discussed a good idea, and a eunuch in the palace came to pass the message that Concubine Xiande invited Mrs. Xing to come to the palace to meet her on a certain day.Xing didn't procrastinate, and the next day, he handed over the sign and entered the palace to meet Concubine Xiande.

When Jia Yuanchun saw Mrs. Xing, his eyes filled with tears.She turned away the people around her, and quickly walked up to Mrs. Xing, intending to kneel down.

Surprised, Xing hurriedly helped Yuanchun up. "Your Majesty, aren't you offending me? If an outsider sees this, the Holy Majesty will not be able to cure me of the great crime of killing the Nine Clans!"

Jia Yuanchun wept helplessly, pulled Xing to sit down, and begged: "Auntie, you can save me!"

Xing narrowed her eyes and looked at Jia Yuanchun wonderingly: "What happened?"

Jia Yuanchun bowed his head and touched his stomach with both hands.

Seeing this, Mrs. Xing looked at her in surprise: "Could it be that the empress is happy?"

Jia Yuanchun smiled and nodded, but the tears in his eyes never stopped.

"It's a big happy event. I want to congratulate the empress on her pregnancy with a dragon baby. If the empress conceives a prince with this birth, her status in the palace will be different in the future." Xing smiled politely, but in her heart He guessed eighty-nine points why Tanchun called her here.

"I'm afraid this child won't be able to see the sky." Yuan Chun said, and Dou Da's tears rolled down from the corner of his eyes, and he fell into inexplicable sadness and fear.

Xing hurriedly took her hand to comfort her, "Your Majesty, don't be sad, when you are pregnant, it is not good for the child to worry about it."

Jia Yuanchun nodded, and suddenly grabbed Xing's hand. "Auntie, you must help me this time. I am now a sheep, with wolves in front and tigers in back. No matter whether it is going forward or backward, I am now at a dead end. Auntie, what should I do?" What to do? The news of my pregnancy is still hidden, and they don't even know that I am pregnant with a dragon seed. If they know, I'm afraid I won't survive tonight."

"Have the people in your palace been purged?" Xing raised her eyes and asked her seriously.

Jia Yuanchun sighed and shook his head. "There are too many people, and I can't deal with them. I can't dismiss all the maids in the bedroom at once. But if I check them one by one, it will be too late."

Jia Yuanchun rubbed his stomach in fear, the most indispensable thing in the palace is the maid, and life is also the least valuable.Sacrifice a dead soldier casually, come to her hall and drug her, she has no way to hide.There are hundreds of people in her dormitory, which is even more chaotic than the vegetable market.

This is what happened to her relying on the queen at the beginning, and she had to be constrained by her.

As the saying goes, Xiao He succeeds and Xiao He loses.

"Don't worry, ma'am, there will always be a way." Xing persuaded.

Jia Yuanchun sighed again and again, she was really at the end of her rope.I only hope that my aunt can give her a good idea, she might not be able to do anything else, but she sees this very clearly, my aunt is definitely a sensible person who can see things through.It should be much more useful to beg her than to beg God to embrace the Buddha.

Xing frowned and remained silent for a while, then thought about it quietly, and finally came up with a somewhat makeshift idea in her mind.

Jia Yuanchun observed that Xing's complexion was loose, and he was overjoyed, and quickly looked at her nervously.

"Your Majesty's pregnancy can no longer be concealed. If you procrastinate, people will take advantage of it. If you are like this, after I leave, you will take the opportunity to have a stomachache and ask the imperial doctor to come to check the pulse. If you have good news, don't let the imperial doctor go. Announcement, just open your mouth and order a maid to announce the good news to the empress. Remember, only the empress."

Jia Yuanchun was puzzled and asked Xing why.

"Just do it. If you are lucky enough to succeed, the empress may be able to escape this hurdle, and everything will suddenly become clear. If not, the empress can only think of other ways. Let me say something bad, the empress's awakening It's too late, if I could have dealt with these people in the palace earlier, I wouldn't have the difficulties I have today." Xing Shi said.

Jia Yuanchun frowned and sighed, "That's not easy."

"That's how it is to make a living in the palace. If you enter the wolf's den, don't be a vegetarian, or you will become the meat of others' mouths." Xing looked at Jia Yuanchun fiercely, hoping that she would be a teacher. talent.

Jia Yuanchun's spine shivered when she heard this. In fact, she knew this truth a long time ago, but she has been deceiving herself and others all the time.I used to think that as long as I was favored, I didn't have to be afraid of anything.Only now did she understand that the emperor's love is a sharp knife, which can kill others as well as herself.

After Mrs. Xing left, Jia Yuanchun ate a few random things, clutching his stomach and complaining of pain.Not long after, the imperial hospital sent an imperial physician to treat her, and the imperial physician informed Jia Yuanchun that she was pregnant without any surprises.

Before the nanny beside him could speak, Jia Yuanchun spoke out loudly and sent someone to inform the queen.The nanny was startled and fell silent.The mother's original purpose was to pass the news to the queen as soon as possible, but now that the concubine Xiande has asked someone to inform her, what else can she say?

Today happens to be the fifteenth day of this month, the day when the emperor and empress get together as usual every month.

In the evening, the emperor went to the empress' bedroom after finishing his government affairs.The empress greeted the emperor happily, and smiled as she helped the emperor change his clothes and eat.After the meal, the empress was going to make good use of this rare opportunity for the emperor and empress to get together, to show her virtuousness, so that the emperor would miss him for a long time.

"Concubine Xiande's younger sister is overjoyed today, and my concubine is very happy for her. I have sent people to prepare gold unicorns, jade ruyis, and high-quality Shu brocade materials to reward my sister. In the next day, I will diagnose the Ping An pulse for my younger sister, so as to ensure the safety of the dragon fetus."

The emperor was baffled when he heard this, and looked at the queen with a frown, a dragon fetus? "Concubine Xiande is pregnant?"

"Don't the emperor know?" The queen asked in surprise when she heard the words.

The emperor locked his deep eyes on the queen, and finally nodded. "Thinking about it, there is such a thing, but there are too many papers today, and those old people from the Hanlin Academy always come to disturb my ears, and they are so busy that I almost forgot. The queen is virtuous, and she is very thoughtful for me. .”

Hearing this, the empress smiled even brighter. Since the emperor was able to forget about the important event of Concubine Xiande's pregnancy, it can be seen that his doting on Concubine Xiande was just a whim and he didn't pay much attention to it.However, it was a surprise, the queen felt that the dragon species conceived by the virtuous concubine could not be kept, so she went there as soon as possible to rest assured.

"The emperor must pay attention to the dragon body."

The emperor nodded with a smile, turned around and called the eunuch beside him.Go to see the booklet again.The queen waited quietly in the dormitory while she was doing needlework. In the middle of the night, the queen yawned and was delighted to see the emperor put away the things in his hand.The queen was busy waiting for the emperor to change clothes and rest.When the emperor went to bed, the queen smiled and wrapped her arms around the emperor, intending to tell him about the eldest prince's deeds of loyalty and filial piety.Never thought that before she could speak, she heard the sound of steady breathing. The queen looked up and saw that the emperor had fallen asleep.

Early the next morning, the emperor left the Jingning Palace and went straight to Concubine Xiande's bedroom.

After concubine Xiande greeted her, the emperor grabbed Jia Yuanchun's hand, narrowed his eyes and asked her, "Why didn't you tell me?"

"What is the emperor talking about?" Concubine Xiande asked in surprise.

"You are pregnant, why didn't you tell me, instead you informed the queen immediately?" The emperor looked suspiciously at Jia Yuanchun.

Jia Yuanchun was terrified when he heard this, and didn't know how to explain it to the emperor.She just obeyed her aunt's orders, how could she know why.Jia Yuanchun was anxious and didn't know how to explain it. It's not suitable for her to find any reason at this moment.

"Tell me, why?" The emperor noticed Jia Yuanchun's nervousness and fear, and subconsciously clenched Jia Yuanchun's wrist.

Jia Yuanchun took a breath of air in pain, tears came down immediately.

Seeing this, the emperor let go of his hand, turned around and sat down, looking at Jia Yuanchun with a stern expression. "You don't believe me?"

Jia Yuanchun couldn't understand the emperor's orders more and more, so he simply knelt down and admitted his mistake: "Your Majesty, this concubine deserves to die, this concubine..."

"Are you afraid of the queen?"

"Ah?" Jia Yuanchun was stunned by what was on his mind, and looked at the emperor in amazement.

The emperor frowned even deeper, and said with a sneer: "As expected, why didn't I expect that, you are the female history next to the queen, how could you not be afraid of her."

"Your majesty, my concubine..." Before Jia Yuanchun finished speaking, he was pulled up by the emperor and held in his arms, "I am the king of a country, I will protect you and keep your mother and child safe."

When Jia Yuanchun heard these words suddenly, he seemed to be dreaming.Isn't this scene what she longed for in her dream?Jia Yuanchun's mind was spinning rapidly, and he finally understood the current situation somewhat.

Since the matter of Concubine Wan started, the emperor became very sensitive to the matter of the harem.

Jia Yuanchun came out of the Queen's Palace, and in the past few days, Jia Yuanchun has been obedient and went to the Queen's Palace every day to pay his respects, which is obvious to all.Now the news of Jia Yuanchun's pregnancy was only told to the queen, but the emperor was neglected.The emperor was unhappy so he would inevitably become suspicious, and after a little thought about the reason, it was not difficult to easily come to a conclusion: Jia Yuanchun was restrained by the queen and was afraid of the queen.

For an emperor, the most shameful thing is that the woman he dotes on should flatter and be filial or even fear another woman.This is an insult to the emperor's status and a challenge to the absolute power of the emperor.

The emperor will never allow such a thing to happen!

The next day, the emperor decreed to change Jia Yuanchun's bedroom on the grounds that the feng shui of the bedroom of the virtuous concubine was not good and it was not suitable for raising a baby.Except for Zhou Gonggong, whom Jia Yuanchun specially allowed, all the other court ladies and eunuchs stayed in the original bedroom.In the new bedroom, there are court ladies and eunuchs arranged by the emperor waiting to serve.

To put it bluntly, the emperor wanted to teach the queen who challenged her power a lesson.The emperor just wanted the queen to understand that no matter how long she stretched out her hand, she couldn't escape his Wuzhishan, and he could cut it off if he wanted to.

With the ingenious help of Mrs. Xing, Jia Yuanchun was finally able to raise her baby in the dormitory a little more safely, gaining a moment of peace for the time being.As for the big and small battles that we will encounter in the future, as long as Jia Yuanchun can protect himself and his children, everything can be done slowly.

……

Recently, Mother Jia's health has become worse and worse.Daiyu originally came to stay for a few days and then left. Because of seeing Jia Mu's scene, after all, she thought of Jia Mu's kindness to her, and planned to stay and see her off.When Lin Ruhai heard the news, she also came to visit Jia's mother.

Baoyu was in better spirits, and together with Baochai came to visit the seriously ill Wang.When Wang heard that Jia's mother was not well, she asked Baochai to take a look and do her duty for her.

Sitting on the side, Baoyu can only make trouble, sometimes giggling, sometimes clear-headed, crying and loving her mother.

When Mrs. Wang saw Baoyu who was dumbfounded, she didn't know what to do, so she could only sigh silently in her heart.

Mrs. Wang still had something to discuss with Baochai, so she had to send Baoyu out temporarily.

"My time is approaching. For the sake of my death, don't take the excessive things I did to you before." Mrs. Wang said softly.

Baochai lowered her head and nodded.

Mrs. Wang grabbed Baochai and said: "Baoyu is not in good spirits now, but he is young, and he will recover after raising him. Don't worry about it. I am sorry for the dowry, but you have to know I also have my own difficulties, and I am not afraid to tell you that I have already emptied out my little private house for this family. The old lady is like me now, and her life is almost the same. You spend more time with her and send her off. In the next journey, be sure to let her old man know how good you are."

Baochai nodded, somewhat understanding what Mrs. Wang meant.To put it bluntly, this is to tell her to curry favor with the old lady before Jia Mu died, so that when the old lady separates, she will give more money to the second room.

Mrs. Wang burst into tears, choking with sobs.

Seeing how pitiful she was, Baochai felt pity for her for a moment, and sincerely persuaded her.

Mrs. Wang whimpered and said, "I've been able to live my entire life. I've been married and obeyed my husband, raised children, and ended up with you serving my bedside. The one in the palace said it nicely at the beginning, but now I can't count on it. Pretend she wasn't born. Brother Lang and everyone else, alas, don't mention it. Now, you are the only one by my side. "

Baochai smiled and patted the back of Mrs. Wang's hand.I thought that she didn't deserve what she deserved, and that it would be so miserable if she did too many bad things.She can endure until today, serving at Mrs. Wang's bed, that is, waiting to see how miserable Mrs. Wang is now.

Thinking about it carefully, Mrs. Wang was miserable enough, when she was about to die, the person who stayed with her by the bed was actually the person who put a death talisman on her.
