Jia Juan of the New Red Mansion

The fact that Chen Yuanwailang's mansion connived at his concubine's brother to behave mischievously outside was a trivial matter that could not cause a big wave.Not only did Ancai in the palace know about it, but he told them this as a joke in front of the Queen Mother and all the concubines.

The Empress Dowager is a Buddhist chanter all the year round, so she can't get used to bullying bastards on weekdays, so she raised her brows and asked, "Who is Chen Yuanwailang? I haven't heard of such a person in the future."

"Returning to Lafayette, Chen Yuanwailang is the grandson of Chen Shidu of the Imperial Academy. When the concubine was still at her mother's house, I heard my father mention that Chen Shi reads and writes good characters and has outstanding literary talents. A grandson with mediocre qualifications. This Chen family is not as good as the next generation." Shen Liangren continued.

Niu Guiren wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, "Yo, Sister Shen knows a lot." The surrounding concubines all lowered their heads, with mocking smiles on the corners of their mouths.A young lady who has not left the court will not casually inquire about strange men.But any rich family with strict rules would not speak market gossip in front of the young lady and pollute the young lady's ears.

Shen Liangren's expression changed, she opened her mouth to argue but An Cairen stopped her with a look. "It turned out to be from Chen Shidu's family. Ai's family vaguely remembers Chen Shidu's calligraphy. He can be called a master of a generation. It's a pity that he is pedantic and doesn't know how to adapt. He is not an official. By the way, Shen Liangren's grandfather was in the same dynasty as Chen Shidu He has been an official for more than ten years, and he is also a colleague of the Imperial Academy. It is not surprising that Shen Liangren knows something about the Chen family."

The queen mother raised her eyelids and took a deep look at Shen Liangren. "I heard that a girl from the Chen family married into the Duke of Zhen's mansion. If you think about it, this marriage is considered a high priority for the Chen family. Concubine Hui, which house is it? Ai's family can't remember." "It's from the Duke of Zhen's mansion." Third room." Concubine Hui said.

"It turns out that the family of the concubine and the third sister-in-law sound familiar." Hearing that Niu Guiren didn't expect the Queen Mother to speak for Shen Liangren, he felt aggrieved and not easy to explode, so he smiled awkwardly. "

These low-level concubines were chatting lively, Concubine Hui and Concubine Jing, who were sitting on both sides of the empress dowager, held up their teacups to drink tea, their faces were as normal as usual, and they didn't get involved at all.

Ye Zhaoyi, the mother and concubine of the eldest princess, relied on being a distant niece of the empress dowager's natal family, so she boldly asked, "Where did this Chen Yuanwailang get the courage to mess around at the feet of the emperor?" "Sister Ye, who knows what's going on outside? Be clear. Besides, we are doing our duty, and it is not our turn to worry about these things." Concubine Hui is on good terms with Ye Zhaoyi on weekdays, but when she saw Ye Zhaoyi was confused again, she had to help her, so as not to be used as a ladder to climb , I still don't know what's going on.

Concubine Jing looked at Concubine Hui strangely, then looked at Ye Zhaoyi's bewildered expression, and sighed in her heart, fortunately Ye Zhaoyi gave birth to a princess and the emperor's distant cousin, otherwise she would have died several times in the palace.

Alas, these people don't know how to stop. They fight with each other all day long, and in the end they are not just gaining benefits for others.According to Concubine Jing's intention, with this spare time, it's better to take good care of your body. While the emperor's dragon body is still healthy, it's a serious matter to give birth to a dragon son and a dragon daughter as soon as possible.

Ye Zhaoyi is a living example. Although she is not outstanding in her looks and her head is not bright, she has a strong belly, just like the Queen Mother back then. The Holy One conceived a dragon species after only one night of favor.After giving birth to the princess, she immediately became Zhaoyi.Speaking of which, the women of the Ye family are really lucky.

Ye Zhaoyi is not a stupid person. Hearing that there was something in Concubine Hui's words, she quickly shut her mouth and sat aside obediently.The queen mother rubbed her forehead, this niece was pampered by her mother and didn't know the dangers in the world.

At first, I thought that she would not cause trouble in the palace because of her simple and honest temperament, so I decided to bring her closer to the harem. Li successfully gave birth to the eldest princess.

"Okay, just listen to what An Cairen said just now. It's okay to quarrel over irrelevant things. Do you still feel sad in your eyes?" This tea is still cold." The concubines saw that the Queen Mother was angry, and hurriedly got up to listen to the training.

The maid of Compassion Ning Palace tremblingly stepped forward to replace the tea bowl, and quickly replaced it with hot tea.The queen mother raised her orchid fingers, used a tea bowl to push away the tea leaves floating on the water, blew the water away and took a sip, then raised her head and glanced at the concubines present, "Remember, as a concubine, you must remember the word rules. You enter Once you are in the palace, you are a member of the royal family. Anything outside has nothing to do with you. If you hear it, just treat it like the wind blows in your ears. If you are too serious, you will break the rules. Remember?"

His gaze stayed on An Cairen, and An Cai stepped up from behind, feeling guilty and afraid to meet the Empress Dowager's eyes. "The concubine would like to listen to the Queen Mother's teachings." The Queen Mother nodded in satisfaction, her expression relaxed, "Sit down, just talk about homely things, don't be too restrained." While everyone breathed a sigh of relief, they couldn't help but blame An Cairen eventful.

"Report to the Empress Dowager, Mrs. Wen Dinghou has arrived and is waiting outside the palace gate." Xiaodouzi, the eunuch of the Palace of Compassionate Ning, sent a message from outside.The Empress Dowager smiled and asked Mrs. Wen Dinghou to come in, and said with a smile, "Yesterday, the daughter-in-law of the Shuifang family handed over a post to the palace, saying that she got a rare item, and she wanted to open the eyes of the Ai family." .The Ai family thought about it all night and couldn't think of any rare things that they hadn't seen before. Finally, I hoped for her to come, and bring her in quickly."

After being told by the queen mother, all the concubines became curious and looked forward to Mrs. Wen Dinghou. "My wife pays respects to the Empress Dowager, who is a thousand years old and a thousand years old. My wife pays respects to all the empresses, and the empresses are blessed and safe." Jia Juan followed the palace rules and saluted respectfully.

The Empress Dowager asked someone to help Jia Juan up, and the concubine, who was lower in rank than Jia Juan, followed suit and said Madam, you are so polite.Jia Juan knew that they were just lip service. Although their rank was lower than his own, they were the emperor's women after all, and their status was very noble.So Jia Juan didn't neglect them either.

"Ma'am, you came just in time. Hurry up and present the rare things to open their eyes." The queen mother looked behind Jia Juan, and saw that the maid who followed her was not holding anything in her hands. Could it be that the things were too big? Put it outside the palace gate?The concubines nodded and quickly took out the rare things.

Jia Juan blinked, and waved to Xiaodouzi, who was poking his head outside the door, "Please, father-in-law, bring the baby in and give it to the queen mother and all the empresses." , Now the queen mother and concubine are very anxious, what is it that makes the always steady little Douzi succeed like this.

"This, Shui Fang's daughter-in-law, this is the rare baby you mentioned." The queen mother was dumbfounded, pointing to the baby Shui who was nestled in Xiaodouzi's arms, wearing a tiger-headed hat and looking around, and asked uncertainly.Even Concubine Jing was not calm anymore, "Ahem, ma'am, are you joking?" The concubines glanced at Shui Baobao, who was quite cute.However, children of this age are not all likable, what is there to cherish?

Jia Juan covered his mouth and smiled, "Returning to the Queen Mother, the piece of meat that my wife fell out of her ten-month hard pregnancy is my wife's treasure." After finishing speaking, Jia Juan stood up and saluted, "My wife dared to deceive you!" Queen Mother, I hope the Queen Mother will forgive me."

The queen mother was stunned for a while, then suddenly realized, and laughed heartily. "Look, you will know how to make Ai's family happy. Ai's family must punish you well. Later, they will punish you to accompany Ai's family to chant scriptures in front of the Buddhist hall, and take away your wild nature. You are a mother." Still messing around in front of Aijia."

Jia Juan pretended to be exaggerated and raised his mouth, "Queen Dowager Lafayette, can you not recite the scriptures? Last time I knelt with you for three hours, the courtier's wife couldn't straighten her hind legs when she went back." "Punishment. That's fine." , get up quickly. Don't be too polite in front of Aijia." Looking at the way the Queen Mother and Mrs. Wen Dinghou get along, they are very close.

Apart from the surprise of the concubines, Jia Juan's expression became complicated, "Come on, baby, let Grandma Huang hug you." Shui Baobao threw himself into the Queen Mother's arms with dignity, smacked on the Queen Mother's face, and clapped her hands While laughing, the little butt was still moving left and right on the empress dowager's lap.

Jia Juan's eyelids twitched as he watched, the Queen Mother's old arms and legs couldn't stand Shui Baobao's meaty buttocks.The maids around the queen mother were afraid that the queen mother would be tired, so she reached out to pick up the water baby, but the queen mother stopped her.

While wrapping her arms around Shui Baobao's waist, the Queen Mother carefully re-padd the shifted diaper. "This child is strong and strong, exactly the same as Wen Dinghou when he was a child. Shui Fang's wife is right, this is a baby. Come on, baby, kiss grandma the emperor again, and grandma will give you sweets." Shui Baobao seemed to understand Yes, and gave another affectionate sip.But the queen mother was very happy, and said that the child was smart, and rewarded Shui Baobao with a lot of jewels. Jia Juan hurriedly thanked the queen mother for the reward for Shui Baobao.

Niu Guiren has never conceived a child since the accidental miscarriage. I don't know how many times I have invited the imperial physician, and they are all the same.However, after taking a lot of tonics, there is no movement in the stomach, and seeing the water baby is unavoidable. "It's still Madam who pleases the Empress Dowager."

Jia Juan was completely speechless, these words are really sour, who the hell is talking.The maid of the Compassionate Ning Palace cleverly whispered in Jia Juan's ear that this is Niu Guiren. "Sister Niu, when the seventh princess was as old as the young master, she was also cute and tight. At that time, the queen mother was also reluctant to let go." Li Guiren usually did not deal with Niu Guiren. It was only because the nobleman was framed that he was downgraded. If it weren't for the seventh princess being raised by his side, he might not even be a nobleman.

Li Guiren took the opportunity to uncover Niu Guiren's scars, and seeing Niu Guiren's distorted face, he felt extremely happy.Jia Juan recognized that this master was also difficult to get along with, turned his head and blinked at the maid just now, who is this.The palace maid seemed to be used to it and shook her head at Jia Juan, meaning to ignore it.

Jia Juan continued to pretend to be deaf and dumb, thinking that the next time he enters the palace to ask for peace, he must come when these women are not around. It is said that the women in the palace like to fight when they have nothing to do. Today, it is true that they are full and fine. Do it, set traps for each other and play.

"Mother's place is so lively." A bright yellow figure walked in.
