Jia Cong, the concubine who crossed the Red Chamber

The founding emperor Taizu of this dynasty started from Fengzhou, so the name of the country was Feng.Emperor Taizu was originally an orphan with no father or mother, and he didn't know his birth name, so he gave himself a random surname, which was the same as the title of the country, named Feng.

The Feng Dynasty has been passed down to the present, but it has only been four generations, and it has only been a hundred years. It is a prosperous age.Today is the way of a benevolent monarch, and there is nothing to say about being good to the common people and courtiers.Therefore, the reputation is very good, and there are many problems, and the close ministers under him are very bold to be indulged.Some people also have some stupid delusions because of this.

The eldest prince is one of them.

Today's Prince Xing Er was born in the Zhao family after the Yuan Dynasty.At that time, Mrs. Zhao was pregnant with dragon and phoenix twins, and it was difficult to give birth. After giving birth to a pair of children with all her life, she went there on the spot.The Long Live Lord and the young couple after the Yuan Dynasty were deeply grieved after this catastrophe.A hundred days later, a decree was made to make the second prince born to the empress the crown prince, and the eldest princess to be the eldest princess Yuan Zuo. Then the empress's younger sister was taken into the palace and made a virtuous concubine and resigned from Fengzao Palace.

Long Live Lord's intention is obvious, he is worried about the growth of the pair of children, and Concubine Xiangui came to the palace to take care of the two children.Therefore, Concubine Xiangui has the same feelings as the emperor, and is not very favored.On the contrary, the eldest prince's biological mother, Concubine Rong, has been favored for more than ten years and gave birth to the third prince, fourth prince and second princess in one breath.This caused some people to gradually start to move around.

Concubine Rong is the eldest daughter of the Qian family. Her younger sister married into the Zhen family in Jiangnan. Her father has passed away. Her elder brother inherited the title of first-class duke, and she married the second daughter of Marquis Yong'an.It can be described as an honor.

As for the prince, the one who got married last year and lived in Chonghua Palace, the prince's dormitory, was the daughter of the prince's Taifu, Mrs. Li.The Li family is a scholarly family, quite prestigious among scholars in the south of the Yangtze River, but only limited to this.It is said that a scholar rebelled and failed in three years. From the perspective of those who liked the eldest prince, the Li family only occupied the word "Qinggui" in order to make the prince look good, but they have no real power at all.

Besides, Crown Princess Li is truly dignified, virtuous and gentle. Not only is she quite accomplished in calligraphy and painting, but she also manages the Chonghua Palace in an orderly manner. She can't pick out any mistakes.

In the evening of this day, the prince came to Li's place for dinner.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does not dote on the Crown Princess very much, and the number of times a virtuous wife sleeps with her is never better than that of a concubine.However, this does not affect the status of the crown princess. In the eyes of the crown prince, Mrs. Li is a smart person who can really discuss important matters and stand side by side.Therefore, regardless of the rule that women are not allowed to participate in politics, the prince will talk to Li Shi about court affairs from time to time, and Li Shi will also moderately give some ideas from the perspective of the inner house.

The two had dinner under the service of a group of servants, and in the evening, the sky was getting dark.After dismissing the servants, the prince sat in front of the desk, carefully sorting out what he had learned from working with the emperor on errands today.Write it down carefully, and then hand it over to the Crown Princess to keep.Mrs. Li stood quietly by the side rubbing ink, and from time to time, she also turned over two pages of travel notes.Red sleeves add fragrance, but that's all.

After a while, the crown prince suddenly said: "There is news that Wang Ziteng, the new envoy of the Beijing camp who was promoted this afternoon, sent a greeting card to the elder brother's residence."

The princess thought about Wang Ziteng's connections carefully, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, Wang Ziteng's two younger sisters, one married after Ziwei Sheren, the imperial merchant Xue's family, and the other married into the second room of the Rongguo Mansion. The old man of the Wang family He and the old lady have gone, and Wang Ziteng is now in charge of the Wang family. However, his original wife died young, so there is no one in the back house of the Wang family, and it is very inconvenient for friends of the family to communicate with each other on weekdays."

When the prince heard this, his eyes lit up, and they looked very bright under the candlelight, which caused the princess to chuckle a little.The prince thought for a while, and said: "Master Wang is busy with official duties and works hard for the country, there should be someone to take care of the housework for him."

Mrs. Li said again: "Jingdu envoys of the Beijing camp hold the soldiers and horses of the capital in their hands. The seat is very important. If your highness refers a regular wife to go there, the emperor may be unhappy. It is better to choose a smart person of ordinary background and send it as a plaything. It's just a gift, even if the emperor knows about it, he just thinks that His Highness is sympathetic to his courtiers, but he doesn't win people's hearts."

After hearing this, the prince smiled and said: "That's it. It's best that I take care of Mr. Wang in front of my father, and send a female officer who can take care of others. If there is any gossip from the eldest brother, If you can’t say it, you can also express it. Do you have any candidates?”

The crown princess said: "Your Highness, the maids around you are also getting old, Your Highness might as well take this opportunity to promise them a good family. In this way, in the eyes of others, it won't be too abrupt for His Highness to suddenly care about Lord Wang's backyard." .Your Highness, and the female officials around you, the highest rank is three, which is just right for your lord."

The prince smiled and said: "Although they are a little cautious, they are not so smart. It is not suitable. Who else can?"

Mrs. Li said: "I still have someone to choose here. It is Mrs. Wang, the teaching mother in the palace before, but Qipin Zhaoxun is also old, and she will be thirty in a few years. Now she is the wife of the first lady in Rongguo Mansion." Because of the good relationship between the two families, she was only a helper in the past. She was very famous in the palace before, and she was not picky about her appearance, posture, and temperament. I heard that Mr. Wang has only one son and one daughter. Two mothers. The crown prince just refers to an honest past, and puts it in the open, and then sends the Wang family there in the dark. In the future, the lady Wang pointed out by the eldest prince will live in the back house of the royal family, and she will have to deal with the only daughter of the royal family a lot."

Behold the wisdom of women!

The crown prince's words not only relieved the prince's worries, but also took the opportunity to send out the dishonest maids around the prince.Wang Ziteng would definitely be on guard against sending an infallible female official to the Wang family.But in the future, Wang Ziteng would not necessarily doubt the foster mother who had been out of the palace long ago for the sake of the only daughter who "had gone through a lot of hardships".Although Wang Momo can't marry, it's better than marrying.She followed the only daughter of the Wang family every day. If the eldest prince was really stupid enough to marry Wang Ziteng as his first wife, if Wang Momo tried to provoke her again, the daughter of the Wang family would definitely have a rift with her stepmother.The prince can reap the benefits of the fisherman.

After another half a month, the Crown Princess sent someone to send a message to Wang Momo, telling her to prepare.

After the concubine's men left, Mrs. Xing reluctantly waved away the crowd, and couldn't help crying on the table any longer.

"Mom, it's all because of me! If it wasn't for helping me, you would have been treated as a guest of honor by a wealthy family with peace of mind. Why bother to go out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's mouth to be a nail for the royal family! "Mrs. Xing was really sad. The last time I sent Mrs. Wang to the Buddhist hall with the help of the Crown Princess, it was just a condition.There is no real kind-hearted person in the royal family who can help you casually.In addition, when Wang Momo was out of the palace, she received a lot of favors from the Crown Princess. With all the kindness and power, Wang Momo's future could not escape the palm of others.

Grandma Wang didn't think so. "I watched you grow up, don't I know you yet? It looks invincible, but it's just a knife mouth. The second wife caused you to be unable to have children anymore. The old lady knew that there was something tricky, but she stood by. If I hadn't done it for you sooner I plan, in the future, you are afraid that you will ask Erfang to eat it! I originally thought that no matter where I go, I will live like this. I am Qipin Zhaoxun, no matter which one invites me, I have to pay respectful tribute. Going to the Wang family this time, not only will the Crown Princess remember it, but it may even avenge you."

Two months later, Nanny Wang resigned, saying she was going home to support her parents.Jia Mu readily agreed.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince handily rewarded a fifth-rank second-class maid beside him to Prince Teng, the envoy of the Beijing Camp, and the Emperor was very pleased.

The eldest concubine immediately acted as a matchmaker, promising her niece from her natal family to the prince to fill in the house, and they were married ten months later.

Wang Ziteng invited two foster nuns from the palace for his only daughter, hoping that his daughter would learn more about how to behave in the world.

Jia Cong was four years old, and was formally enlightened by Mrs. Xing, who taught him hand in hand.

The elder of the Xue family in Jinling died of illness, leaving only a pair of children.

Mrs. Lin's family in Gusu was diagnosed to be two months pregnant.

A Dream of Red Mansions officially kicked off.
