The Ring of the Red Chamber and the Nine Heavens

After Qi Qian got the order, although he guessed in his heart that Concubine Hui was the troublemaker, he thought about raising relief funds to help the victims, and now everyone in the court has his hands tied, and as a descendant of the Tian family, he serves the country, the people, the king, and the father. It is my duty, so I don't say anything else, just accept the decree to thank you.When he was about to leave the imperial study, he was stopped by the emperor again: "It will take a few months, and I will resign wherever I should."

Where should I resign?The emperor's words were tactful, but Qi Qian understood that this was implying that he must bid farewell to Concubine Hui.However, Qi Qian didn't intend to have any grievances with Concubine Hui for official business. After all, Concubine Hui is not only his concubine, but also the elder of his wife's family. Acting recklessly, without respect.

Arriving at Yixiang Palace where Concubine Hui lives, Qi Qian, although expressionless, saluted according to the proper etiquette and said goodbye.After finishing the etiquette, he was about to leave, but Concubine Hui called him and said: "Lao Qi (Qi potential prince)! I have one more thing to tell you."

Qi Qian said quietly: "Your Highness, please tell me."

Concubine Hui pulled out a ruthless move yesterday. She thought that Qi Qian would give in, but she also thought that if he was willing to admit his mistake, she would imply that it doesn't matter if the errand is messed up. Anyway, she will take care of her niece and take care of it for him. When Yuan Yuan came back, he didn't expect Qi Qian to be so calm, and he didn't take her trick of shaking mountains and shaking tigers seriously at all.

Concubine Hui's head is full of pearls and emeralds, and she is wearing a light blue brocade palace dress. The lower skirt is woven with colorful peacock feathers mixed with gold thread. The patterns are complicated and colorful, and the shoes are also the same color. The brocade shoe repair, adorned with small opals and rubies, is full of brilliance and style.

But it is her eyes that most reveal Concubine Hui's unusual status.Concubine Hui has exquisite makeup on her face, and the corners of her eyes are slightly raised with a thick black eyebrow pencil. She looks unique, dignified and majestic. Her eyes are so sharp that people dare not look directly at them.

When Qi Qian was saluting and talking to her, Concubine Hui was sitting on the main seat, without saying a word, staring at Qi Qian firmly with such sharp eyes that made people feel pressured.

If other people were stared at so aggressively by Concubine Hui, they would have been trembling with fear, but Qi Qian was unmoved at all. When he was talking, he was silent when he finished speaking, and the expression on his iceberg-like indifferent face did not loosen.

Concubine Hui had nothing to do with him, and finally said angrily, "You will treat Miaozhen better in the future."

Qi Qian frowned slightly, and said indifferently: "Why did the imperial concubine make such a statement? I have not treated Miaozhen badly."

Qi Qian was actually very unhappy in his heart. If he treated the princess badly, only Concubine Hui, who is the elder of her mother's family, could say this. The problem is that Qi Qian thinks that he has always treated the princess with respect, and there is nothing wrong with him. , Concubine Hui said this, purely looking for trouble for nothing.

Concubine Hui sneered and said, "Miaozhen has a body, but you, as a husband, leave her behind at this time, is that considered okay?"

Qi Qian was speechless, what does it mean for a villain to sue first, I have seen it today.

Only then did Concubine Hui burst into a smug smile, and said politely: "You are going to be a father soon, and you should look forward and backward when doing things in the future. If you offend someone you can't offend, even your family members will be in trouble, you know Is it? This time, for Miaozhen's sake, let me forget it, you can go to Yangzhou for a while and come back, I will intercede with the emperor for you."

Qi Qian said in a cold voice: "It turns out that the imperial concubine had predicted that I would stumble a long time ago, so she specially asked my father to send me this errand. It's really well-intentioned. However, I think it's man-made, and others can't do it." , I may not be able to do it. Besides, this errand can be done as long as it can be done. If it can't be done, even if I dismantle the Qin Palace and sell it, I must scrape together the money for the disaster relief. Don't bother your concubine to plead for me."

Concubine Hui turned pale with anger, and said: "You don't turn back until you bump into the south wall, okay, okay, I'll just wait for a good show, but I feel sorry for my good niece, she will have a big belly and there will be no room Living!"

Qi Qian said in a cold voice: "Your Majesty, I have to say goodbye to His Royal Highness, please forgive me for not being able to stay for long."

After finishing speaking, Qi Qian turned around and left, because his pace was so fast and hurried, but he almost bumped into another person who came in.

The man said: "Hey, Seventh Uncle, slow down. Where are you going in such a hurry?"

Qi Qian took a closer look, but it was the emperor's eldest grandson, Qi Pei, wearing an apricot-yellow python robe, smiling brightly at him.Qi Qian said, "I still have something to do, I'll talk to you another day." Then he left in a hurry, leaving Qi Pei standing on the ground in a bit of a sense of loss, watching his back as he went away.

Seeing that Concubine Hui was angry, a very discerning little eunuch beside her quickly hugged Concubine Hui's pet - a snow-white Persian cat.

Concubine Hui reached out to pick up the cat, and with a pair of jade rings full of pearls and emeralds, she touched the fluffy and soft fur on the cat's back with a pair of jade hands that were dyed red with the juice of impatiens, and said slowly: "Pei'er is coming!" Are you here? Sit down."

Qi Pei came back to his senses, turned his head back, and said to Concubine Hui with a smile: "My mother heard that the imperial concubine was ill, so she ordered her grandson to visit her after school. Here is a box of snacks, which was made by my mother herself. Please invite your grandson to visit her after class." taste."

Concubine Hui's jade hand slowly slid between the cat's snow-white fur, and she smiled gracefully: "The princess is filial, and you are not bad. Come, here is a thing that Persia paid tribute to, take it back and play with it Bar."

Qi Pei hurriedly thanked her, and talked with Concubine Hui for a while, then peeped at Concubine Hui's face, and asked, "Uncle Qi Huang was a little angry just now, what's the reason for it? Did he offend the concubine? If so , I’ll make an apology on his behalf.”

Concubine Hui's face darkened slightly, and said: "What does this have to do with you, do you want you to pay for him? Hmph, I just said a few words to him, telling him to treat my family Miaozhen better, just like stepping on his tail similarly."

Qi Pei said: "Uncle Qi can't bear to be provoked, so the imperial concubine should take care of him a little bit."

Concubine Hui said: "What I said was the truth. Now that Miaozhen has a body, she is naturally more precious than before. It's good for him to run around outside."

Qi Pei was stunned, and said: "Princess Qin is pregnant with a child? We don't even know about it. If we knew about it earlier, we should congratulate Qi Shu."

Concubine Hui said: "I've only been pregnant for more than a month, and that's how I found out."

Qi Pei chatted with Concubine Hui for a few words, claiming that they wanted to relax and not want to be accompanied by the servants, so they walked to a seldom-traveled stream in the Imperial Garden.Qi Pei sat down on a rock in Taihu Lake by the water, clenched his teeth tightly, wondering what he was thinking, feeling sullen.However, the expression on Qi Pei's handsome face changed from the well-behaved and pleasant one at the imperial concubine's place to violent and distorted, not at all like a ignorant boy of thirteen or fourteen.

Qi Pei stood up suddenly, stretched out his hand and plucked off a pretty big red camellia from a branch by the water, picked off the pink and tender flower with wide eyes, kneaded it into a ball of flower mud in his palm like a rage, and threw it into the In the Qinfang Gate at my feet, watching the withered petals float and sink on the water, I don't know where the flow is going in a blink of an eye.

This kind of behavior seems to calm Qi Pei's anger a little. Qi Pei, who had destroyed seven or eight camellias in full bloom, finally collapsed on the Taihu stone by the water, looking up at the small area that was not completely covered by the flowers and trees. Fang Tiantian muttered to himself: "It's just a woman who penetrated halfway, but she is still so kind to her, even messing with her child! I'm so mad!"

Here, Princess Qin Su Miaozhen is arranging Qi Qian's clothes before leaving. Qi Qian said helplessly: "It's better to ask a maid to do this kind of thing. Go and rest, don't get tired."

Su Miaozhen's soft voice was full of reluctance and a trace of sadness, and she said: "My lord will be gone for a few months, and I can't accompany him to serve my lord. My lord has to take care of himself. It's going to be winter, so wear more clothes. I caught a cold..."

Qi Qian interrupted her babbling, and said briefly: "Okay, I know it myself."

Su Miaozhen hesitated to speak, but when she saw Qi Qian was about to step out, she quickly grabbed his sleeve and said, "My lord, I have one last thing to say."

Qi Qian said impatiently: "If you want to talk about it, talk about it quickly, or else, just wait until I come back. A group of people are waiting for me outside."

Su Miaozhen just said eagerly: "My lord, don't get angry with the imperial concubine, okay? Just because of a trivial matter, there is such a big commotion, why bother? After all, the empress is the concubine's aunt, and she still faces us. Yes, the prince always loses face to her, and she has a strong heart, now..." Su Miaozhen didn't continue, but looked at Qi Qian with a pair of beautiful eyes full of tears, hoping to be gentle with tenderness. Remind Qi Qian.

Qi Qian snorted coldly, and said, "Am I just to save her face? Am I that boring? I'm for the sake of the country! What's wrong with being put on small shoes? 'How can a country benefit from life and death so that misfortunes and blessings can be avoided'!" "

Su Miaozhen's expression became very helpless.

Qi Qian stared at his wife and said: "Women can ignore the country's suffering, but they must not be indiscriminate between right and wrong, ignorant of the seriousness, and ignorant of the overall situation! Stay away from your aunt in the future!"

Su Miaozhen finally started to cry, and said sadly: "My lord, what can I do..."

Qi Qian stopped listening to her and walked straight out of the door. The morning sun cast a harmonious light on his straight back.

--------Dividing line------

The treatment of Lin Ruhai's condition was originally divided into two steps.The life-saving pill that Jia Huan put together first can only guarantee that Lin Ruhai will not die in this year, but whether he can fully recover depends on the subsequent treatment, because the condition will recur, which requires the patient to have Tenacious will to fight against illness.

Jia Huan felt that Lin Ruhai's disease was a bit like a modern cancer, and the pills he gave him were a bit like surgery. It's up to each person whether he gets better after the surgery.Cancer patients are competing to see who has the most willpower to fight the disease, and whoever can finally survive the five-year recovery period.In addition, in addition to willpower, it may also need enough stimulation or temptation.

From Jia Huan's point of view, Lin Ruhai is nearly fifty years old, has no children, and has a wealth of wealth. It seems that there is nothing in the world worthy of special nostalgia except for his precious daughter.Then, seeing how Lin Ruhai had been doing things before, he sent Daiyu to Jia's house, and left the marriage to Jia's mother. Before he died, he tried to transfer the family wealth to his daughter. With a generous dowry, her daughter would have a better life in her husband's house.So, as if everything was all right, Lin Ruhai could completely smile at Jiuquan.

Where can I go?Let Lin Ruhai know that Daiyu's life in Jia's mansion is not as good as he imagined, and the people in Jia's mansion don't really treat Daiyu well, but have bad intentions. If Lin Ruhai entrusts this family property to Jia's mansion If it is a person, it is tantamount to pushing Daiyu into the wolf's den, and it is guaranteed that there will be no scum left of her.

Therefore, Jia Huan took advantage of the opportunity of basking in the sun and chatting with Lin Ruhai in the garden, and began to try to guide Lin Ruhai to understand that Daiyu's situation in Jia's mansion was not good in the past. It was a big mistake, and it would definitely delay Daiyu's life.

Lin Ruhai already had a bad opinion of Jia's mansion because of Jia Lian's affairs before, and after hearing what Jia Huan said, he was even more urged. He regretted why he was so confused, and looked at Jia Huan earnestly and said: "Huan'er, it's in vain that I have studied for so many years and been an official for so many years, but I am confused about the important events of this daughter's life. It is fortunate that you told me. Also, if this is the case, I will only trust you in the future." , I hope you will take care of my family Daiyu more. Alas, it’s a pity that Daiyu is two or three years older than you, otherwise, I can betroth her to you, but now, how can I thank you? If I will Let me share one-third of my Lin family's wealth with you, even if you get tens of 10 taels of silver for treating our father and daughter, it's not an exaggeration."

Jia Huan said: "Uncle Lin, do you think Huan'er is such a greedy person? Don't tell me, I will take care of Sister Lin, not for money, but because Sister Lin has also helped me and me with the same righteousness. Mother, and my younger brothers and sisters. However, there is one thing I have to say to my uncle. You know, sister Lin’s life is happy. It's hard to say, easy to say, it all depends on you, uncle. If you are alive, sister Lin will have a good life. If you die, even if sister Lin has some money to protect herself, it will be in vain. Even if I don't want To put it bluntly, Sister Lin has no father, no mother, and no siblings. She has a lot of money, but she is like a child who is carrying a money bag and lost in a bustling market, causing trouble in vain."

Only then did Lin Ruhai come to a complete realization, and muttered to himself: "Yes, I want to live. My daughter can live well only if I live."

Jia Huan came over with a smile again, and said, "Uncle Lin, if you recover completely in a year, maybe you can continue to give birth to a younger brother for Sister Lin."

Lin Ruhai stared at Jia Huan.

Jia Huan shrugged and said, "Uncle Lin thinks I'm joking again? What I said is true. Let's take it as encouragement for you to fight your illness for a year. After a year, when you are completely recovered, I will try to Call you the Lin family."

With such a huge carrot hanging in front of him, can Lin Ruhai not fight hard against the disease?
