The Jade of the Red Chamber

King Zhongshun was under house arrest in his palace. The news spread quietly, causing a shock under the bustling appearance of the capital.Today, he didn't block the news and carefully keep it secret. He was happy to see this group of people messing around in a panic!

There are quite a few unrepentant veterans who want to meet the old sage to make a statement for King Zhongshun, and at the same time give some eye drops to the now full-fledged Jinshang, and fight for some status for his family, which is close to the emperor, the prince Zhongshun: this The emperor's wrists are getting stronger and stronger, and if they don't make some moves, I'm afraid their power and interests will not only be shrunk back and forth, but will be directly taken over by the pot!These people also know that they don't want to be seen by the present, and they have expressed that they are not fake, and they have long since died of the idea of ​​standing on the wall and standing back.

I don’t want to hear a thunderbolt from the palace—the old sage ordered the house arrest to be loyal to the prince, and the palace kept it a secret, so the letter came out only now—even the concubine Wan was arrested by the old sage. Abolish the concubine and stay in the cold palace!There is even a rumor that the Supreme Emperor's decisiveness may be due to the old incident of the Yizhong old prince more than ten years ago!

Which of these aristocratic families who relied on the old to sell the old and stood on the wrong team earlier had no ghosts in their hearts?The ex-prince's death at such a fast speed was not the result of everyone pushing him down!At that time, they thought that once the crown prince came out before the incident, the Supreme Emperor would pass on the throne to Prince Zhongshun. Prince Zhongshun's niece, the Fu family, had made their fortunes all these years thanks to the empresses in the palace. The ex-prince whose family and family are all strong, and King Zhongshun who relies more on them is a better candidate!

Therefore, these old families have long been colluding with Zhongshun, tricked the former prince, and asked him to lead troops to go out of the capital, so what happened later.Fortunately, it was done neatly, and the ex-prince's heirs, wives and concubines were not left behind, and this catastrophe of usurping the throne happened again, implicating the mother and wife families, making them powerless to retaliate.Even so, these people who are leading the matter behind the scenes are also living in a state of uneasiness, for fear that this disaster will be revealed!

They were also really embarrassed. Prince Zhongshun, who secretly supported him, did not succeed the Datong. Instead, the third prince who had no friendship and was always pessimistic became the emperor!The wishful thinking failed, and he wanted to surrender and stand up, but found that the sage was a master of Tai Chi, so he didn't take over the group of them, so he had to hug each other and support each other in a vain attempt to keep the power in his hands. Missing, this frightened these old ministers, for fear that the old sage would have the desire to re-examine what happened back then!As a last resort, I had no choice but to keep up with Prince Zhongshun. The old saint dotes on Prince Zhongshun.In fact, they all knew in their hearts that a loyal and obedient prince might not be anything after the death of the Supreme Emperor. Who would not want to vote under the current command?But today, it is completely invisible!

It was raining all night when the house was leaking, and just as the aristocratic families who stood in the wrong line were panicking, there was another news from the palace that the old saint was vomited blood by Prince Zhongshun angrily, it might be bad!Now these people are really like a mourning test, none of them dared to jump around in the capital, they all stopped and closed their doors, and some foresight secretly sent trusted family members to their hometowns to rectify housework, buy land and repair houses.

In Jia's mansion, Jia Zheng and Jia Zhen were free, but they were worried and did not dare to make any movement. Even Rongning and Ning's two mansions have always had no rules, or there are slaves who bully their masters. Be a man or think about finding another way out in your heart.Therefore, Dafang was quite fawned on these days.

Jia's mother was very depressed. When the old Duke passed away, she wanted to push the Jia family to a higher position, so she ignored the words of the old Duke when he was alive, and rushed to instigate the family to go to the Yizhong old man. The Prince’s boat was secretly boarded with the Prince of Zhongshun later on. Later, many noble families fell to the Prince of Zhongshun because of the support of the Jia family. The Jia family, especially her old lady Shi, was a thread of these boats. With all the things that happened in the Rong Mansion in recent years, King Zhongshun still treated the Jia family with courtesy, but he just wanted to connect with the forces that even the Supreme Emperor was afraid of!

Now that the situation is changing like this, how can we not teach Jiamu to be anxious?Even the news that Jia Yuanchun was detained in the Shaohua Palace didn't get the slightest thought from Mother Jia. Now the concubine Jia Taigui is already a chicken rib, and she has no time to take care of her. Only Prince Zhongshun can regain power. Only the Jia family can survive.

Thinking of this, Mother Jia couldn't care less about her second son who loved her the most. You must know that if the Jia family can escape from one house, it is a house. At least the eldest son can still be picked up in the matter of Prince Zhongshun, and the eldest house has an heir again. , if something really happens, the Jia family can still keep the line!

Therefore, Jia's mother ordered the people of Rongguo Mansion not to go to the Dafang again with nonsense words, and did not teach Jia to pardon Jia Lian and others to come to Rongfu to say hello!

But Mother Jia loves Jia Baoyu, the phoenix egg, the most. She thinks over and over again that the historian is also involved this time, and Xiangyun is an orphan, so she has no dowry. Concentrating on business affairs, the Xue family only has orphans and widowed mothers. This Xue Baochai has an uncle like Wang Ziteng, and the family background is strong. Now it seems that he has no choice but to let it go!Mother Jia didn't expect to be able to tell Jia Baoyu that she was the daughter of a prince or nobleman. Now, as long as the girl is able to manage the family, the dowry and her mother's family background can guarantee Baoyu's wealth for the rest of her life!

Wang Ziteng frowned deeply, and felt a little uneasy. The Wang family used up almost half of their wealth to repay the money owed to the treasury, and it took him a lot of heart to smooth out the deficits and loopholes in previous years!He knew in his heart that the Holy Master didn't trust him in his heart. If he hadn't seen the opportunity and expressed his heart in reality without saying anything, and he had been working hard all these years, he wouldn't be promoted and returned to Beijing today. After thinking about it, why not Didn't you mean to take the opportunity to hit the Wang family?

Wang Ziteng only felt that other things were fine, but these in-laws were really a mess!Seeing that he had returned to the capital, he hurriedly stuck to him, maybe he still wanted to drag the Wang family into the water and capsize the boat!Wang Ziteng rubbed the deep folds of the word "Chuan" between his brows, he can feel Lin Ruhai's mood when he entered Beijing!

In the palace, Shui Zhan smiled meaningfully. The feeling of lying on the chopping board waiting for a knife is the most difficult. The emperor's old ministers who have been hostile to him for many years must taste it carefully!The person from Xianfu Palace didn't close his eyes, he wasn't going to deal with these people, wouldn't it be even more bleak when a frightened bird can't sleep?

The Taishanghuang's body is getting worse day by day. At this time, there is no need for Shui Zhan and Shui Yang to stimulate anything, just a few words from Qin Meiren from time to time can make him feel angry and regretful, and suffer a lot!Those Chen Ya's secret books not only contained the cause and effect of the former prince's affairs, but also the actions of the loyal mother and son and those aristocratic families for many years. The old sage naturally didn't have the strength to read it, but he couldn't help holding the piano in his heart and reading to him one by one. listen!

Baoqin was determined to go all out, she inquired in every possible way, and finally Director Wei who was beside the Holy One gave her a certain word, she knew too many royal secrets, and she would never even think about going out of the palace in this life. The thought of killing her to keep her mouth shut, be more peaceful, and after the incident, asking for a small courtyard to die in the imperial palace is the best way out for her!The little hope that Baoqin had never let go of leaving the palace was completely annihilated, how could she not hate it!

In Shaohua Palace, the plum blossoms in the backyard have already sprouted a little bit of bud. After a snowfall, the white snow covered it, making the dilapidated and cold Shaohua Palace brighter.

Fu embraced the bed curtains and quilts, and stared at the door of the wing room in horror. Except for the first day, the eunuchs here had never humiliated her so unbearably. Out of courage, he trembled with fright when he saw the corner of the eunuch's clothes.

During this period of cold food and thin clothes, and the fear in his heart, Fu Shi will soon age, and the face that was plump and greasy a month ago has creases.

In fact, there is an extremely delicate place in Shaohua Palace that is protected and cleaned. It is the East Wing, where Concubine Hua Guifei and Shui Yang lived many years ago. , the whole room is very inconsistent with Xiao Suo's Shaohua Palace, only the black and red blood stains on the yellowed bed curtain are shocking.Every year, Shui Zhan brings his younger brother here once before Hua Guifei's funeral, and the two brothers sit here quietly for a day, that is, after this year, Shui Zhan's smile becomes more gentle and impenetrable, and Shui Yang becomes more and more Leng Su became more and more expressionless, these two brothers knew in their hearts, but there is no thing in the world that can be done without paying a price, especially when seeking justice in the palace!

The Hall of Shaohua is not big, and Shui Zhan would not just ignore Fu Shi when he got him here. He had a low status in his early years, so he naturally knew the methods of the eunuchs here, so he didn't need to worry about it. He ordered people to take out the memorial tablets of the concubines who died here in these years except Concubine Hua, and turned the apse of Shaohua Palace into a sacrificial hall, with white flowers and white curtains, and the old Shaohua Palace is even more ghostly!

Mrs. Fu, who lived near the apse of the Shaohua Palace, was so frightened that she almost lost control. There were all the concubines of the old saint, and most of them were relegated to the Shaohua Palace because of her manipulation. Speaking of which, the eunuchs of the Shaohua Palace greeted The method of the new concubine was first conceived by Mrs. Fu: she was a concubine who was very good at dancing, she was very doted on, and she became pregnant soon after and was conferred the title of concubine. "It's too similar. She is very flattering in person but domineering and savage when she turns around. The result of the two people's rivalry for favor is that this Concubine Li was put into limbo before giving birth. Concubine Wan scratched it with her beautifully groomed nails with a sneer This concubine Li's face, even ordered his eunuchs to strip her clothes in the backyard of the Shaohua Palace in front of a large crowd, and broke her dancing legs. .

Fu never dreamed that the eunuch in the cold palace would learn these tricks and return them to himself one day!This is also her own fault. Even the eunuchs in the Leng Palace did not dare to go too far. After all, they were all masters who had served the emperor, and they could not be humiliated like this when they were down. After going out, these eunuchs became bolder and bolder. Such methods were not new a few years ago.

Regardless of Jia Yuanchun being next door, Fu scrambled and crawled into the present house, but the apse of the Shaohua Hall and the wing rooms formed a circle, and the white curtains of the apse could be seen from any of the wing rooms.

Because it was the mourning hall arranged by the eunuch Wei Jinchao who was next to the Holy Majesty, these eunuchs did not dare to neglect, and rushed Fu Shi and Jia Yuanchun every day to wipe the memorial tablets and tidy up the apse.Although Jia Yuanchun was afraid of the atmosphere here, these concubines had nothing to do with her, so she was still calm, but Fu Shi couldn't do it. Shut the two of them in the hall at night, I'm afraid that under those gloomy memorial tablets, Fu Shi will not be able to move a single step.

Taking advantage of the joy of the coming new year and the fact that the end of the twelfth lunar month is the birthday of Concubine Hua Gui, now the subordinate country is coming to court, today it is decided to officially move the tablet of the mother and concubine to the ancestral temple. The Empress Dowager is the Empress Dowager Zhaosheng. From the portrait of the Empress Dowager in Zhengyang Gate, she led her younger brother Jing Wang to welcome the Empress Dowager into the Ning'an Palace, where the Empress Dowager resides!

On that day, with the sound of gongs and drums in the palace, all the officials came to worship, and even envoys from various countries went to worship, which can be described as extremely dignified.

Shui Zhan had half his mind on rectifying his mother's name, and got drunk at Ye's house that night. Fortunately, he didn't like Wei Jinchao in the harem and was smart, so he managed to hide the fact that he didn't return to the palace that night.Even if it was so, Shuiyang was so shocked that he was in a cold sweat the next day!At the time when the capital city is most undercurrent, when it is known that the matter of leaving the palace is known, if it is not guaranteed, there will be those people who are desperate to kill and break the net to assassinate!However, he also talked to Zhenyu all night in Biezhuang, so he can understand his brother's bitter and sweet mood, but it's just a little strange that he stayed at Mr. Ye's house overnight.

The palace celebrates the joy of the Empress Dowager Zhaosheng. Although the empress dowager Zhaosheng has passed away, it is not appropriate to celebrate, but the empress still ordered all the dining rooms to celebrate with vegetarian food. The whole palace will get new clothes. The concubines... the princes and daughters separately Get a gold and silk scripture.

Even the Hall of Shaohua was not missing, the beauty Qin in front of the old sage specially sent two sets of plain clothes of good material to Imperial Concubine Jia and Fu, and told them to wear mourning for the Empress Dowager Zhaosheng!

Up to now, even though Fu Shi was almost scared to death, she had hatred, fear, resentment and unwillingness in her heart, but she had no remorse, and now she only hoped that her son Zhongshun would quickly intercede with the old sage so that she could be taken out.The Taishanghuang must not know what happened to her, and he will take pity on her when he finds out!These days, she also figured it out. Later, her doting made her loosen her grip on men's minds. If she put a lot of beautiful maids in her palace to serve the emperor as she did when she started fighting for favor, how could the old sage be gradually attracted by Jia Yuanchun's master and servant? Pulling away the eyes of the bitch, let yourself end up like this?

When Baoqin ordered people to bring the plain clothes, Fu Shi, who has been timid and haggard lately, couldn't believe her ears—when she was slandered by Shen Shi's son of a bitch, she actually Chasing the Empress Dowager? !

Fu's resentment and reluctance made her dry and ashen eyes light up. She was a little slow to receive the "reward" and was kicked by the eunuch behind her. The little eunuch sent by Baoqin just ignored it and said with a smile: "Master Qin has ordered I want the maidservant Fu to kneel down for the Empress Dowager Zhaosheng every day! Shall I thank you, Fu?"

Mrs. Fu was in a daze, how could the old sage be so heartless, he promised that as long as he was alive, he would not allow that woman from Mrs. Shen to be named empress dowager!This was supposed to be her honor, she was not from a high family background, so she could only expect her son to inherit the big position and earn herself the most honorable position among women in the world, but all of this was ruined by that son of Shen's!Don't even the golden words of the old sage count now?

Crazy, Mrs. Fu struggled to grab the little eunuch who came to reward him, and shouted loudly: "Old saint! Has the old saint gone? I want to see the old saint!"

"Slap the mouth! How dare you curse the old saint? Slap the mouth hard!" The little eunuch jumped, then became angry from embarrassment.

Crackling, soon Fu's face was swollen, but her eyes were still staring at the little eunuch stubbornly, the little eunuch was a little scared, straightened his clothes and left.

Fu slumped on the ground, crying and laughing. Xu's low birth was the scar she cherished the most in her life. She had been jealous of the Empress Dowager Zhaosheng all her life. The fear of falling out of favor might be worse than being relegated. The panic brought about by her identity, she was able to hold on to the madness in this situation only because of the hope brought by her son Zhongshun and the promise made by the Supreme Emperor back then. She loved Zhongshun even more and gave Fu Shi a will: After a hundred years, she can enter the imperial tomb and be buried in a side room as the imperial concubine!

Unlike Zhongshun, Mrs. Fu attaches great importance to this imperial decree, and it is enshrined in her bedroom like a lifeline. It is also because of this imperial decree that although she was demoted, no new people were moved into the Yangzhi Palace. After all, there is an imperial decree to return It is enshrined in the Buddhist hall.

Fu Shi is not sure now, and only now does he really feel that the sky is about to fall.

On the second day, a few well-dressed old nuns came in suddenly, and without saying a word, they picked up Fu Shi and pressed him in the bathtub to scrub.Fu's withered hand like an eagle's talons grabbed the cuff of a nun vigorously, his eyes were full of excitement, and he asked anxiously: "Does the old saint want to see me? Does the old saint know my grievances?"

Jia Yuanchun hid outside the window with envy and jealousy on her face, she turned around and went back to her room to wash up, she didn't dare bother the eunuchs to boil water, so she had to wipe it with a cloth dipped in cold well water, and finally put on a silver hairpin .This is still delivered by Baoqin. If you want to say that Baoqin has no good intentions, when someone delivers something, she says that Concubine Jia is too pitiful and she can't bear to look at it. The eunuchs are so sorry, even these eunuchs will toss her from time to time because of that sentence, so that the beautiful Qin Qin will look pitiful and send something again!This silver hairpin was left behind by Jia Yuanchun's hands as he stuffed it into the crack of the bed frame.

The triangular-eyed old nanny who was caught by the cuff shook Fu Shi's hand vigorously, and sneered on her wrinkled old face: "Keep such a big bowl and eat such a big meal! Feelings, you thought you were the former Concubine Wan?" !"

Fu Shi had been ridiculed a lot these days, and now he didn't dare to show annoyance when he heard this.

Another old mother laughed and said: "That's right, how could this old man look at us? This is a master who takes a small amount of food. Otherwise, the old sage could have been deceived for so long?"

Another one laughed and said: "Hmph! I heard that the corpse of this beautiful little palace lady who was pulled out of the palace every month when she was favored could fill up her fox-smelling palace! It is said that she even tricked the old sage into promoting her natal family to make a fortune." , what other ministers were beaten to death by her family for false accusations! This is... that is... Oh! Daji! It's the kind of vicious girl who brings disaster to the country and the people!"

The three of them taunted Fu Shi like no one else, and rubbed their hands vigorously, frowning from time to time because they thought it was dirty.Rao Fu's current patience can't help it anymore, he keeps a straight face and doesn't speak.

After washing it, an old nun saw her like this and sneered: "I heard that it was 'you' who murdered the Empress Dowager Zhaosheng? You really are looking for death! The old sage, Mrs. Qin, has long forgotten who you are! This time It’s the Holy Majesty who wants to see you, and the empress asked us to come and wash you because she was afraid of shocking the holy car!” After finishing speaking, she sighed: “No wonder the female officials around the empress specially went to the Laundry Bureau to ask us to come and wash you for this crime.” The servant girl cleans up, tsk tsk, the mud is so thick that ordinary people can't wash it off!"

Randomly tossing her hair, the old lady with triangular eyes pushed and pushed Fu Shi, humming: "Hurry up, don't play with your bull-headed look! The old saint made Prince Zhongshun vomit blood angrily. Hearing that Prince Zhongshun The big rebel wants to rebel, and now he is under house arrest in the palace under the order of the old sage! The old sage is so angry! You don’t have to think about it! It’s important to see the sage!”

The other two women curled their lips and muttered: "The mother and son are really biological. The old lady is poisonous, and the son is also willing to die!"

Hearing this, Fu Shi's eyes turned black, it's over!It's all over!If you break free from the old mother's hand, you are about to hit the pillar. It is better to die than to suffer from Shen's son again!How Concubine Hua Gui died back then, no one knows better than Fu!

The terrified old mothers swarmed to pull her, with a "bang", Fu's head hurt violently, but because the old mothers pulled her in time, although the head was smashed and blood was left, she did not pass out.

The angry old nuns scolded, patted their beating heart, hastily wrapped a cloth strip for Mrs. Fu, and let her go out of Shaohua Hall.

Mrs. Fu's head ached and she was dizzy. As soon as she came out of Shaohua Palace, she saw a few glamorous people standing in front of her. Fu did not care, and just dragged a few old mothers as if she had lost her soul.

Seeing this person, the three came forward to salute affectionately. Aren't these people just Baoqin and her palace servants?

Seeing Mrs. Fu's appearance, Baoqin knew that she had told the old ladies what she had said to "Tail Concubine Wan". She smiled with satisfaction, and someone around her immediately stepped forward to offer a reward.

When the old ladies thanked Fu Shi and grabbed Fu Shi and walked forward, the voice of holding the piano and smiling came into Fu Shi's ears: "You must be extremely respectful in front of the Holy One! Only in this way can you see the old saint!"

Fu Shi didn't care about staggering, she turned her head and looked at Baoqin eagerly in surprise, she knew that the old saint would not leave her alone!Your Majesty?The Holy Majesty asked her to ask her to ask her to warn her not to tell the old saint about the sins she had suffered during this period of time?

As if returning to the light, Fu Shi changed his dumbfounded and dead pig-like expression, and even ignored the pain and dizziness on his head, walking a little faster than the old mothers!

The three old nuns looked at each other with slightly changed faces, wouldn't the old sage want to turn over this bitch again?He also thought that what she said just now was called by Mrs. Qin, how could she ask this Mrs. Fu to compete with her for favor, so she felt relieved.
