Femme Beauty

Back in the inner palace, the weather in Fengzao palace is pleasant at this time.Some flowers placed in the house are also blooming beautifully.Jia Yuanchun was wearing a light-yellow brocade gown with six-leaf white phoenix patterns on his body, and he was leaning on the pillow at the head of the kang, listening to the little girl reading a book.

She has been familiar with poetry and books since she was a child, but after entering the palace, she didn't know how many of them she knew.There is no shortage of her, and there will be no lack of her.The emperor doesn't like talented women in the harem very much, especially the empress dowager can't see those thin horses from Jiangnan.Every time I heard that the official family had a wife and mother-in-law with a Yangzhou skinny horse, I would definitely despise it.She can only listen to this short story to pass the time.

She didn't know whether it was right or wrong for her to take this step, but she exchanged her brother Baoyu's jade for the position.But it is much safer than those who use their status to flatter and pet them.As long as she doesn't make mistakes, even the queen in this palace can overwhelm her.But being a queen is not easy, everyone is waiting for the queen to make mistakes.She is a royal concubine, why bother to meet them.But right now, she is also a little anxious.Although the position is safe, she is still old after all, and she doesn't have a son and a half now, so she needs some help from her mother's family anyway.

But her old lady, after all, won't work hard.Father is safe in doing things, as long as he does his duty, it will be fine.But her mother is short-sighted after all, the old lady looks too old after all these years, plus the previous incident, she can't enter the palace.The only one who can get it, I am afraid there is only one uncle left.

Huangmen came in with his fly whisk: "My little one, please greet the imperial concubine and empress!"

"Forget it!" Yuan Chun lazily waved his hand to make him stand up, took the dried longan offered on the side, opened the shell and ate one: "But it was delivered?"

"Delivered!"

"What did you say?"

"Master Wang got in the car and left after taking the letter. I'm afraid the people in front of the door are talking too much..."

"He's my uncle, why do people talk about things that can't be separated?" Jia Yuanchun sneered, then sighed: "It's just that my uncle is used to being cautious..."

"Yes!" Xiao Huangmen lightly declared yes.The Xiande Concubine in front of her is the most special one in this harem.You can say that the emperor loves it... He only comes once or twice a month, and the number of times he stays overnight is not many.You say you don't love... whatever the queen has, she has a little less here.Even the steward of the inner palace dare not neglect the people in Fengzao Palace.This palace is also different from other palaces, and those nobles and concubines can't live there.There is really only such a concubine in Nuo Da's palace.

Wang Ziteng got into the carriage, and the carriage walked slowly.Because he was still in the palace at this time, he couldn't run.He opened the envelope, took out the letter inside and read it.

Jia Yuanchun didn't write too much nonsense, she was familiar with her uncle's temperament, so she just briefly explained her current situation.It's a little bit older, but it's best if you can have children.Hope to get Wang Ziteng's help.

But right now, Wang Zitenbi knows that the emperor will never allow Jia Yuanchun to conceive.Let's not talk about the inexplicable position of Jia Yuanchun's imperial concubine, even if it is a relative of the Jia family, if it is Jia She's daughter, it may still be possible.But Jia Yuanchun was not only concerned with the old lady of the historian family, but also with the affairs of the Zhen family.Just one Jia Baoyu is enough for the two emperors to test each other.Right now, I heard that Concubine Zhen's body is not feeling well, and it sounds like she won't be able to get up because of the cold spring and the snowfall in summer.Wang Ziteng thought it over carefully, thinking that this matter is not easy to handle.

Lin Ruhai replied at home that he had sent Xiao Si to say that he was going to visit the palace.Jia Min made preparations early on, and everyone from the whole family was going at this time.She also notified Jia Lian and brought Wang Xifeng with her.

After getting off the carriage and arriving at the palace, Lin Ruhai and his wife walked up the steps and saw Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng acting as doormen, opening the front door and waiting for them.Wang Xifeng stepped forward and pulled Daiyu's hand affectionately: "I said today that my aunt will definitely bring you here. I didn't have to pay close attention to you a few days ago. Did you have a good time on the road?"

"Sister-in-law Lao is worried, what's wrong with women and girls on the road. I just didn't expect that it would be so cold here when I came back. It's not what I told my mother." Daiyu pouted playfully, complaining about this Even though the cold spring in Linxia is still snowing.

Wang Xifeng narrowed his eyes and smiled and took her hand to walk in. The two boys followed Jia Lian obediently behind Lin Ruhai.Hearing Daiyu's complaint, Jia Min reached out and tapped the bag on her head: "You are like a monkey, didn't I tell you? This is because the earth dragon in the north spit fire, so this side started to fall." Snow."

"I know what my mother said, but the first time I came here, I waited for the weather." Daiyu grumbled with a small face, "If I were in Yangzhou, I would wear new clothes! Where is it like now, it's hard to walk around .” The new clothes she was talking about were thin and beautiful skirts for this season.But it's cold right now, so I can only wear the same clothes as buns.

"Do you think Brother Han is also wearing thick clothes?" Wang Xifeng led her to get into the sedan chair, pointing to Lin Han and said.

"His skin can be worn from September to May next year! Never mind whether it's cold or not." Daiyu wrinkled her little nose, snorted and pulled Wang Xifeng onto the sedan chair.Jia Min listened to it as funny, but didn't say much about her.

After entering the inner courtyard, Mrs. Wang Ziteng prepared the warm house early on, and instead of being polite in the main room, she directly went into the side room and sat down on the kang.Jia Lian took the two young children to visit Wang Ziteng first, and he probably will come over in a while.The kang facing the window in the north is larger than that in the south.Daiyu took off the thick clothes on her body, stretched her arms by the kang and exhaled: "It's better to be an aunt, this room is very warm, after all, I can take off those thick clothes."

She is small and exquisite, with a delicate and naive look in her exhale and speech.After all, Mrs. Wang Ziteng was very happy. She smiled and embraced Daiyu: "This little person is so eccentric and has a sweet mouth."

"She's looking at the benefits. If you see that there is a place you don't want to stay, I'm afraid she will be very picky." Jia Min smiled and wiped the corners of her mouth after drinking hot tea with a handkerchief. Wang Xifeng took off her shoes early and got on the kang. in.She smiled and said: "It's a good habit. We won't be afraid of anything else in the future as long as we don't suffer."

Jia Min shook her head and smiled: "You... don't teach her well, just talk about these things. What we pay attention to now is that we are lucky if we suffer!"

Mrs. Wang Ziteng glared at Wang Xifeng: "What does she know at a young age? She is at the age of being competitive. How can she understand this truth?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Xifeng smiled and kept silent.Seeing her like that, Jia Min also smiled broadly.

Daiyu sat on the edge of the kang next to Jia Min, eating the candies given to her by the maid.Hearing Mrs. Wang Ziteng's words, she tilted her head and said: "Why don't I know that it is a blessing to suffer a loss, and a disaster to take advantage of it. I understand this truth! The Buddha's words about karma and fate are generally connected with this. What I have learned today If you lose, you will bear it. If in the future, you will pay me back. Respect one body, this is always the case in the world. The so-called loss today may not necessarily be lost in the future. What is gained today may not be lost in the future."

"Listen...that little mouth is blah blah..." Mrs. Wang Ziteng stuffed an apricot into Daiyu's small mouth with a smile. Jia Min shook her head after hearing this: "Her father just wanted to cultivate an Talented girl or something. I said that in our kind of family, it is good for a girl to marry a husband and teach children in the future. But her father is not willing, insisting that his daughter Lin Ruhai must be better than Mulan! She dances swords all day long It’s so good, I felt terrified when I saw it. She’s such a good girl, she’s a wild girl. When I came back the other day, I went to visit the old lady, but I didn’t dare to take her there, I’m afraid it would scare the old man. "

Mrs. Wang Ziteng smiled and nodded when she heard the words: "The old man really needs to be more cautious. I know what kind of girl my daughter raises. I'm afraid it's the old man. He has a lot of old principles, and he gets upset when he sees things that don't go well. Go, it's not good to be awake at night."

"I just said that's the reason. I said that she was not in good health, so I didn't take her with me. I was afraid that I would get sick." Jia Min touched Daiyu's back and smiled slightly: "She was born prematurely back then. My body and bones have never been very good. After TOEFL got better, my master and I are reluctant. I always want to raise another two or three years, so that I can be stable. This is just to tell the old lady, Otherwise, there is no reason to refuse. You can't let your grandmother see your granddaughter, can you?"

"Isn't that true! The old man worries a lot, and it's filial to find a reason. It's better than letting her worry about everything!" Mrs. Wang Ziteng stood up with a smile. At this time, Lin Han brought Lin Chang into the room with a woman in her arms. , she quickly went up to pick Lin Chang up, and touched the chubby little face curiously: "This child looks like a reunion, so it can be seen that the pregnancy is good inside."

Jia Min smiled and took Lin Chang who was about to look for his mother, took off his wrapped leather jacket, and put him in the hot kang: "Where was Feng girl helping me at that time, at least Huaide was free. It can't compare to Daiyu's time." , I was busy all by myself, and I hurt the child. This child is a lucky one, and the time is good. I found a nanny, and the milk is sufficient. After all, it is delicious and sleepy. It looks like a piece of meat ball."

"Children just want fat shoes." Wang Xifeng waved at Lin Han, and asked the girl to take off his coat and pull him on the kang: "Brother Han was scary at the time, but when it came to Brother Chang, I would say anything. I didn't let my aunt worry about it. Look at it, but it's much better than Brother Han." She pulled Lin Han to sit together, Lin Han is still young, and it doesn't matter to be with a young sister-in-law.

Lin Ruhai sent away his two sons, and Jia Lian served tea to the two elders and sat down to listen to Lin Ruhai and Wang Ziteng.

It's not the first time the two have met, but it's still a bit emotional for the two of them who haven't seen each other for many years.But Wang Ziteng is not a procrastinator, nor does he like to gossip.He took out the letter Jia Yuanchun had given him and pushed it to Lin Ruhai. Lin Ruhai glanced at him, then opened the envelope and took out the letter paper to read.The handwriting on the letter is beautiful, and it can be seen that it was written by a woman.After carefully reading the final signature, he knew that this was Jia Yuanchun's letter.He put the letter on the envelope, pushed it to Wang Ziteng, and tapped the letter paper: "Your niece, how do you let me see it?"

"You don't know, the emperor will not allow her to be pregnant. But in the end, it was her greedy mother who made her suffer all her life!" Wang Ziteng sighed deeply: "I didn't agree with it back then, and I don't want others to find her. Using the Zhen family's way, using my Wang family's profit..."

"This kind of thing...if it's a girl, it's good. But I'm afraid, if you help her, you may also hurt her." Lin Ruhai instantly understood the twists and turns.Uncle Wang Ziteng is not easy, he knows it.Wang Ziteng sighed deeply: "Alas... In the end, it's because my daughter of the Wang family didn't teach well..." He shook his head: "I'm afraid right now. The Zhen family sees Long's pets constantly, and what I'm afraid of is that the emperor is waiting for you." Concubine Zhen..." At this point, his voice became softer, and Lin Ruhai nodded knowingly: "It's not so good to say it's winter!"

Wang Ziteng nodded: "I'm afraid we won't be able to pass this year. You just came back now, so you don't scream about these things on weekdays. The emperor is waiting, and I'm afraid people in the court will also be waiting. The Zhen family is not small, and they want to take the opportunity There are definitely a lot of people who ate a bite of meat. I am afraid that your mother-in-law will also get a part of it."

Lin Ruhai heard Wang Ziteng say this, thinking of Jia Mu frowned: "I didn't see the garden built by their family, but I heard that it cost tens of millions of taels of silver. I didn't say that Jia Zheng was separated. There was absolutely no money like that at the time. If the old lady didn't take it out, she might have to borrow it from someone else. After careful calculation, the only relatives in their family who can contribute this money are the Zhen family."

Wang Ziteng nodded: "That's why after Lian'er came back, I told him not to let him have too much contact. The water there is very deep, so it's better not to get involved. Besides, next year, Lian'er will take the Jinshi exam. Avoidance comes first."

Lin Ruhai glanced at Jia Lian on one side, and nodded: "Female family, Feng girl can handle it, I think it's better to let Lian'er go to his father's place alone, on the one hand to meet Enhou, on the other hand, you can also see Look at the situation over there. As the saying goes, reading is not as good as reading."

When Wang Ziteng heard Lin Ruhai's proposal, he also thought it was good.None of them could find Jia Lian to be the No. [-] scholar in the examination, as long as he became a Jinshi and got a foreign job.The water in the capital is very deep right now, so it would be good if you can go out for a walk.He looked at Jia Lian: "Go to your father and talk about the things here. Although he is a bit of a mess, he can teach you some messes."

Jia Lian was happy when he heard this.He chuckled: "Uncle's words... are quite interesting. I want to learn from Master. If I really learn from my father, I am afraid that I will destroy Master's hard work over the years?"

Lin Ruhai pursed her lips and smiled: "I'm afraid that you will be in trouble if you learn something different. What's the use of learning from me?"

Jia Lian didn't say anything, just lowered his head and smiled.After all, he wasn't very worried. He, a junior, was just implicated and lost his inheritance rights.If his fame is cut, it can only be his bad luck.But it can be retested if it is cut. In the future, when the capital is moved to Jinling at the end of the dynasty, he will have enough capital to take it again.Don't be afraid of anything.Just to see my father, in the end is also good.

Jia Min's family left the palace by car when it was getting dark.Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng did not leave, but stayed there overnight.After all the years of contact, the palace is no stranger to them.

After the young couple took a shower, they leaned on the pillows and covered themselves with quilts and chatted.Wang Xifeng tilted her head and looked at Jia Lian with displeasure: "Why do you let you go there alone? Why did your mother-in-law write to say that the eldest sister is going to come here? Why don't I go with you and pick up my sister? It’s good to have someone to take care of you.”

"Why are you joining in the fun?" Jia Lian pinched her cheek helplessly: "This is not a waterway, you can just sleep all the way. The road is full of bumps in the carriage, if you encounter bandits, you will be alone. How many people do I have to find to guard you, Nuliu! Back then, my father brought people over, so that there were officers and soldiers following along the road. Yingchun came back with me, and I was still playing drums!"

"Go!" Wang Xifeng turned her head to express her disdain: "You think I'm that weak woman?" Her voice was raised: "Besides, it's enough to take care of the escort on the road. Right now there are mostly soldiers in the Northwest, where are there so many strong men?" ?”

"You are here, you are more or less taken care of. Besides, what is there to do in the cold Northwest?" Jia Lian suddenly felt a headache. If Wang Xifeng liked to follow him, but in the end, if Wang Xifeng He also followed, and it was hard to explain what happened to the old lady.The day after tomorrow is the day of visiting relatives in Yuanchun, and there are already stripes on the top.He still has a headache...

Wang Xifeng looked at him and burst out laughing.She tapped his temple with her finger: "You idiot!" She said with a smile on her face, "Don't even think about it, in two days it will be the day when your eldest sister visits relatives, and after that day, the old lady will have flowers Cooking, burning with fire and oil. What should I do if I stay on the sidelines? After all, Rongguo Mansion is also the place that the old lady has been thinking about for so many years. The two families had a bad relationship. It’s embarrassing for you and me. It's easy to say. But now your big sister is the imperial concubine, she just needs to ask me to keep the old lady by her side to be filial, can I say no? In the end, isn't it tied their family's affairs to ours? If I said at that time that I had agreed to go to the northwest to be filial to my parents-in-law and pick up my sister-in-law by the way, she would definitely have nothing to say. Let's leave cleanly and save the old lady from worrying about it."

Hearing what Wang Xifeng said, Jia Lian also felt that it made sense.It's just that he still has to ponder whether this truth can be explained from his uncle and master.Seeing him concentrating on thinking, Wang Xifeng felt that this matter could be accomplished.She smiled and got into the quilt, closed her eyes and was ready to fall asleep.

The next afternoon, when Prince Lin Ruhai came down to court, Jia Lian ran in both directions.After hearing what he said, Lin Ruhai felt that it made sense.Besides, there are many military stations on this road, so I am not afraid of anything.I agreed.Wang Ziteng heard that Lin Ruhai agreed, although he knew that it must be his careless son-in-law who wanted to mess around, but felt that the young couple had not been easy these years and did not say much.When Jia Lian got the good news, Wang Xifeng was very happy.She began to quickly prepare for the characters she was going to bring to the north, as well as some earth rituals from the capital.After all, it is also bitterly cold there, so you must bring delicious food and drink.In addition, she had to take the valuables at home to the silver bank as soon as possible, she didn't worry about putting them there one by one.

The author has something to say: I just got more comfortable and rushed to the list, is it easy for me...
