[Qing wear + Red House] Lin's Royal Concubine

"Your Majesty, Lady Jia made a bowl of ginseng soup with her own hands..."

Kangxi raised his head and glanced at the little eunuch in front of him, and sneered, "He's one who knows how to exploit." I don't know whether he was talking about Jia Concubine or the little eunuch, probably both.

"Li Dequan, I'm going to reward you with the soup. Since this little eunuch likes Jia Bin so much, let's send him to serve Jia Bin."

"Your Majesty?" The little eunuch turned pale immediately, touching the bag of silver hidden in his sleeve, he really regretted it.

They are also serving people, but there is a world of difference between serving in Qianqing Palace and serving by a concubine's side. I only hate him for being lost for a while and speculating about the Sacred Heart.

Without waiting for him to say anything more, Li Dequan beckoned for someone to drag him down.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager invites you to go there."

Seeing that Kangxi stood up, Li Dequan hurriedly picked up the bowl and gulped down the ginseng soup in two mouthfuls, then chased after him, so as not to choke him, and the soup in his stomach seemed to be full of water as he walked. Still dangling.

No way, the things that the emperor bestows on you have to be eaten until you choke to death. I just hope that the concubines in the harem don’t spend their days arguing with each other. The one who delivers the soup and the one who delivers the cakes, his stomach must burst. .

Unsurprisingly, the Empress Dowager came to Kangxi for matters in the harem.

It is often said that a country cannot be without a king for a day. In fact, the same is true for the harem. From the concubines, princes and princesses, to the palace ladies and eunuchs, there must be someone in charge of all affairs in this huge harem. For those who are involved, the entire harem will be in chaos within three days.

"It's not easy for the Ai family to take care of it temporarily these days. If it takes a long time, I'm afraid it won't be possible. After all, the Ai family is getting older, and they don't have the energy to deal with all these affairs. Your empress mother is a person who never loves you. Those who are in charge usually enjoy the blessings..." The Empress Dowager rubbed her temples, with obvious fatigue on her old face, and sighed: "It's a pity that it's not the year of the draft, so I can only choose from the palace. It's been pulling people, do you think it's time to ask Jia Bin to take care of it or bring someone up?"

"It's the grandson who is not filial to call the emperor's grandmother so old." Kangxi showed guilt, thought for a while and replied: "After all, Concubine Jia's qualifications are too young, and she has no children under her knees. I'm afraid she won't be able to take on important responsibilities. Bring up concubine Nala and concubine Ma Jia as concubines?"

"Baoqing Erniang and Changsheng Erniang? It's not bad. They have served in the palace for many years and have given birth to meritorious service. It is logical that they should be promoted. Compared with Jia concubine, they are more convincing."

Now that the draft was mentioned, the Empress Dowager inevitably thought of another thing, "Next year will be the triennial draft, and the most important candidates for this election are girls from the Tong family and girls from the Lin family. Do you have any rules in mind?"

"Lan'er is my first cousin, so she can't be lower than the concubine at first. As for the girl from the Lin family..." Kangxi paused, and said hesitantly, "The Lin family is not low-ranking, and Lin Ruhai is here for me. The closest ministers who are important to her, but what is more important to her is her extraordinary features... In my opinion, this imperial concubine can also be a worthy concubine. After all, it is absolutely impossible for anyone to surpass her in the future. It is better to give it to her early. She's fine too."

The empress dowager looked astonished, "The imperial concubine is the same as the deputy empress, is the starting point too high? Besides, there is only the empress of the middle palace above the imperial concubine. You asked her to sit in the imperial concubine's seat at the beginning. In the future, how should she be rewarded if she has an heir? Is it possible that you still plan to make her the queen? According to Ai's family, the position of imperial concubine is enough, and she is still the highest in the harem. As for the position of imperial concubine, You can wait for her to conceive in the future and then reward her, so as not to fall into the embarrassing situation of being sealed in the future."

Kangxi frowned, but he didn't argue any more. Anyway, no matter if she was a noble concubine or an imperial concubine, she was the most honorable one in the harem. The empress dowager made another upset.

Jia Yuanchun originally wanted to try his best to see if he could grasp the power in his hands, but who would have thought that he would have waited for the news of Ulanara and Ma Jia's consorts.

The Wulanara clan was conferred the title of concubine Hui, and the clan of Ma Jia was conferred the title of concubine Rong, but she has not had a title so far. Although she was earlier than the two others, she fell behind those two in an instant, which is even more annoying. Those two had sons, she didn't!

In this way, what else can she use to compete with others?It was simply crushed to death.

Jia Yuanchun was annoyed but helpless, so he had to take a break for the time being and submit to others again, even if he wanted to compete for favor and conceive a dragon fetus, but now that Empress Xiaozhao has just passed away, being a concubine is really not too much At most, they can only give the emperor a secret glance, and any more will be out of line, and it is easy to cause disputes.

And the Jia family outside the palace seemed to be poured a bucket of cold water when they learned of this situation, which was quite regrettable.

Mother Jia sighed, and said, "It's only reasonable for the empress to give birth to a prince soon, otherwise she will still lose her footing in the end."

The original Empress Xiaozhao was just over her head, she was from a good background and had a good Ama, but what about Concubine Hui now?Concubine Hui was born in Baoyi, her father was only a fifth-rank doctor, and she had already lost her freshness after being in the palace for many years, but now she still climbed on her own mother's head, what was the reason?But it was because of luck that a son was born.

Mrs. Wang was sitting next to her and gritted her teeth secretly, she rolled her eyes and said, "Why don't I go find some prescriptions and find a way to deliver them to your empress?"

"Calm down quickly." Mother Jia spat at her unceremoniously, and said, "Your harem is your back garden. You can take whatever you want with you. If you don't know, you're still a stepmother." , is this trying to harm the empress or what? Besides, the empress is now in a state of wealth, so all kinds of messy prescriptions can be used? If you have no brains, just be honest and quiet. It’s better if you can’t help than to add trouble!"

Mrs. Wang kept her mouth shut.

Jia Mu asked again, "Is there any news about Baoyu's jade?"

"All the people in the Tianfu wish they could even lift up the floor tiles to look for it, but there's no sign of it. It's supposed to be touched by someone who suffered a thousand knives. If I find out who it is, I will definitely not spare him!" Thinking of the stupid appearance of her precious phoenix egg, Mrs. Wang couldn't help feeling sad again, wiping her tears and choking up, "My poor Baoyu, what should I do if I can't find that jade again? Is it going to be like this forever?"

Mother Jia was also heartbroken, and she gritted her teeth with red eyes and said, "If someone really touched it, he would have to exchange it for money. Isn't the son-in-law of Zhou Rui's family a business of antiques? Tell him to spend more time in the circle. Ask inside, whoever can provide some information will be rewarded heavily, and if you can get the jade, you will be rewarded with 1000 taels of gold!" Under the heavy reward, there must be a brave man, no matter what price you pay, it is worth it, otherwise Baoyu is like this. What's the point of being alive like the walking dead?

"What about Lian'er? The house is in such a state of chaos, why does he not see anyone all day long? Where did this go? He didn't take it to heart when something big happened to his younger brother. He has no conscience." ..." Mother Jia frowned and looked a little annoyed, as if she had recklessly vented her anger on what happened to her heart and soul.

Yuanyang replied cautiously: "There are too many things going on recently, so I haven't reported to the old lady. The second master Lian has been running to the Lin mansion these days, saying that he is going to study with the uncle of the Lin family."

"Study? Jia Lian?" Mrs. Wang sneered, and said disdainfully: "I thought the sun was coming out in the west, and he was the only one who could still study hard? It was just a random lie to fool his wife. Whose house did you touch again?"

Mother Jia was silent, but she obviously agreed with Mrs. Wang's words. A person who has wandered around for so many years and can't support the wall can expect him to suddenly become better?Impossible, as the saying goes, the country is easy to change, and the nature is hard to change.

"Go to the boss and pass a message, tell him to take good care of his son, don't go out to fool around when you have nothing to do, it's the time when the family can't spare people."

At that time, Jia Lian didn't know anything about the contempt and disdain of his family members, but now he was lying on the ground like a dead dog, his eyes were open and motionless, as if he had suffered some inhumane ravages.

Lin Jinyu, who was lying next to him, was not much better either, her little face was flushed with sweat, her chest was heaving violently, and her face was written in big four words—life without love.

I don't know how long it took until Jia Lian finally got out of breath and then sighed: "What kind of monster do you say you are making trouble? Don't you regard your father as your life goal and aspire to be a civil servant? Why do you still invite me?" What about Master Wu?"

Lin Jinyu couldn't help being wronged and said: "The eldest sister said that I am too weak, and I am afraid that I will faint in the examination room in the future."

Jia Lian was speechless, thinking that being tortured by Mr. Xun was an unbearable pain in life, but who would have gritted his teeth and found out that he had thought too well. Mr. Xun destroyed his soul, and there is a martial arts master Destroying his body, using two-pronged approach, no matter where he is, he will surely make him live more happily than a god every day!

"I knew this earlier... I have to think about it anyway... A mistake will cause eternal hatred..."

"If you really can't bear it, you don't have to come anymore, and no one will come to arrest you, so I'm different, I... I'm just so ineffective..."

“跑？”爷倒是想跑呢，可是……贾琏呵呵一笑，无力道：“你跑了大不了挨一顿揍，哥哥我若是跑了，妻妾就要带着我的女儿一起跑路改嫁了。 "Great old men, can you watch other men sleep with their own women and beat their own babies?I can't even die!

It was the first time Lin Jinyu knew about this, and she couldn't help but looked at him sympathetically, "I never thought you would be so miserable, and I will never intentionally bully you in front of Mr. Eight-year-olds are not as good, so they might remarry immediately after being disappointed..."

Jia Lian glared at him when he heard the words, and squeezed out a few words between his teeth, "Brother, I really thank you!"

It wasn't until the sky was completely dark that Jia Lian struggled to get up from the ground and bid farewell to Lin Ruhai with trembling legs.

Lin Ruhai only nodded, and said lightly, "Don't go to the East Mansion anytime soon."

Jia Lian was stunned for a moment, puzzled and said, "What is this saying? What happened?"

"It's nothing, it's just fun and fun during the national filial piety, if you are not afraid of death, go ahead."

His legs, which were already like noodles, couldn't hold on any longer, and he sat on the ground with a plop, his face full of horror.

Seeing his hopeless appearance, Lin Ruhai frowned in disgust, and simply asked someone to carry him out.

He didn't pay attention to it at first, but after hearing about it today, Jia Lian paid careful attention when he passed by the East Mansion. As expected, he heard the melancholy voice coming from the mansion, and his face turned pale immediately.

Is this the old birthday star who hanged himself for a long time?Bloody bastard!

After thinking about it, Jia Lian asked Wang'er to remind her. Even though my uncle said that, the news must have spread, but... After all, they are just friends who have been together for so many years. What are you looking at? It's really unreasonable to do nothing.

But who would have thought that the father and son next door would treat his good intentions as a donkey's liver and lungs.

"Master Zhen said that people like us don't have to be so cautious. After all, we are in our own mansion and not blatantly outside. What is there to be afraid of? We can't just hold back during the national filial piety? Who? It's not like that at home, they are all the same men who don't know who, the superior must know it well, as long as you don't go too far, just turn a blind eye and close one eye."

That's not all, the father and son next door even enthusiastically invited Jia Lian to have fun together, only the second sister You and the third sister are very interesting, they are very different from others, it would be a pity to miss it.

Jia Lian was very happy, "Come on, let them die." But then again, if he hadn't been tossed and trembling these days, maybe he really wouldn't be able to refuse such an invitation. If you really want to liquidate, isn't that also a dead end?

Thinking of this, Jia Lian couldn't help shivering, and smothered the little flame in his heart. He made up his mind to climb to the Lin's house every day to practice climbing, so that he wouldn't have the energy to think about those who didn't. Yes, it can save the dog's life.

Just as she was about to take a hot bath, she suddenly heard a young servant calling, "Second Master Lian, the Eldest Master is calling you over."

"Why are you looking for me at night?" Jia Lian muttered dissatisfiedly, but still asked the servant to help him go, but who would have thought that as soon as he saw someone, his father threw him a thunderbolt.

"Go back and tell your daughter-in-law to prepare a dowry for your sister, and send her off as soon as the country's filial piety is over. By the way, the dowry doesn't have to be too rich, it can only be seen from the sidelines. How much you prepare is someone else's family. Why don't you save it and buy me a few more maids, it can be regarded as her daughter's filial piety to Lao Tzu."

"Marry? Second sister? No, this is a marriage that just popped up out of nowhere? Why have I never heard of it?" Jia Lian was so stupid that he even wondered if he was too busy messing around in the past and forgot about it. What.

Jia Amnesty didn't take it seriously at all, and just wrote lightly: "It was just decided, and you have never heard of it. Didn't I tell you now? I'm her kissing Lao Tzu, can I still harm her? Although the man is old, She is a little older than her, but she is capable, and finding a job in the future will not be a problem, and she has saved some money over the years, and marrying in the Spring Festival will be a good day for her to be well-fed and well-fed."

Jia Lian was still muttering in his heart, how could he not know about his own father?He has always been a person who doesn't care about his children, how can he take the initiative to take the initiative to take care of his daughter's marriage today?If something goes wrong, there must be a demon.

Thinking of this, Jia Lian asked cautiously: "Has the master ever discussed with the old lady about such a big matter?"

"How big is it to bother the old lady? You don't know that the old lady is going to cry and go blind because of Baoyu these days. Besides, in matters of marriage, the parents ordered the matchmaker's words. I am her father. It’s done.” Jia Amnesty began to get impatient, “It’s alright, alright, I’ve called you here just to talk to you, don’t forget to ask your wife to prepare the dowry, if this marriage is ruined, I won’t let you go , hurry up and go!"

Helpless, Jia Lian had no choice but to leave like this.

But even though he was muttering in his heart, he didn't really take it seriously. The relationship with Yingchun wasn't that close since he came here, and he's used to it, so why bother to worry about it?My dear father is still there, so it's not his turn to be in charge of my brother.Secondly, he was also thinking that he was kissing his father after all, so he would not push his daughter into the fire pit, so he forgot it happily.

When Lin Shiyu learned from Wang Xifeng that Yingchun had been promised to the Zhongshan wolf, she really couldn't jump up on the spot. It's really a pity that it is impossible to hold weddings in the country's filial piety. Anyway, there is still room for maneuver.

Thinking of the original book where Yingchun was tortured to death in just one year after she got married, Lin Shiyu couldn't help but feel a little itchy, thinking about how to mess up the marriage, but who knew that her father suddenly stopped telling her to go. The Jia family has gone.

"Is...something going wrong?" Seeing her father nodding slightly, Lin Shiyu fell silent suddenly.

It is said that she already knew the ending, but when this day was really approaching, she still couldn't help being in a daze.

Speaking of this Jia family, since Jia Yuanchun suddenly became favored, it can be said to be very high-profile and public. Although a mere concubine is nothing in the serious circle of dignitaries, but for the "veteran ministers" who have long since sunk into the sky It was as if they had seen a ray of light in the dark, and it was as if a drowning person had grasped a life-saving straw, making them firmly believe that the current emperor is still willing to use them.

Maybe some people don't know that the possibility of their own recovery is very small, but whoever has experienced glory, how can he be willing to be lonely?Even if there is only a slight possibility, it must be firmly grasped, and Jia Yuanchun and Jia's family are their hope.

These days, the Jia family has opened its doors every day to welcome guests from all over the world, and the four kings and eight princes have naturally moved closer to him. It made the Jia family look majestic and magnificent.Especially after the Jia family relied on this scenery and succeeded in finding real shortages for many people under the deliberate indulgence of the Holy Lord, these people became even more obedient to the Jia family, and because of this, the Jia family became more and more complacent.

In fact, it is not difficult for outsiders to see the crisis with a cold eye, but the authorities were so confused that they couldn't react until they received the news of Wang Ziteng's sudden death.

Mrs. Wang fainted from crying on the spot, she refused to believe that this was true, and her heart was full of panic besides sadness.

If you want to talk about why she has been able to stand firm in the Jia family all these years, and even the old lady never asked the old lady to divorce her after such a thing happened before, all she relied on besides the pair of children was her own brother, Wang Ziteng was like them The most powerful one in the family, as his own sister, who should not be respected?But now this biggest backer collapsed suddenly, so what to do in the future?Isn't the Wang family about to fall?

Mrs. Wang's heart was flustered for a moment, and she felt that her eyes were darkened, but at the same time, she felt that her biological daughter was already a concubine, and she could go further when she gave birth to the little prince in the future. What did she have to be afraid of? ?

Wang Xifeng also cried to the death, not only for her own uncle, but also for her own family's fate. She knew that the knife hanging above her head was finally about to fall.

Jia Lian was also full of panic, with one arm around his daughter-in-law and the other around his daughter, trembling all over his body, if he hadn't been sitting, he would have made a big embarrassment on the spot when his legs gave way.

"My lord has never done anything terrible, right?" Jia Lian couldn't help but secretly began to recall the things she had done in the past few years. After reviewing and reviewing, she found that the most outrageous thing she did was to steal someone's wife. Want his life?

But Wang Xifeng's heart skipped a beat when she heard what he said. Although she had already sneakily put the usury pot on her good aunt's head after such a long time, no one can guarantee that it will be safe. Yes, what if there is really an emergency?In case she really can't keep her head...

Wang Xifeng was like a frightened bird for a moment, trembling with fear and not staying at home. After thinking for a long time, she finally gritted her teeth and quietly pulled Ping'er to the side and told her where she kept her belongings, and said: "If I die, all those things will belong to me You, as long as you take good care of Miss Qiao for me, and keep her safe for the rest of her life, I beg you." As she spoke, she made a gesture to kneel.

Ping'er turned pale with fright, hurriedly tugged at her, and cried, "Grandma, what are you doing? What are you dying for? What are you doing with such despondent words!"

"You can't be more clear about what I have done. I'm just afraid that if... if it is really found out, I will definitely lose my head." Wang Xifeng's eyes were also red, and he choked up and said: "I I'm not afraid of death, but I'm afraid that sister Qiao will be left alone. I can't trust that bastard Lian Er, and only you... Only you can make me feel at ease... I beg you for the first time in all these years, For the sake of our master and servant, help me take good care of Miss Qiao, and you will be her other mother in the future!"

Having been a master and servant for so many years, how has Ping'er ever seen her be so humble?No matter how powerful a person is in normal times, he never has a soft word to Jia Lian, but now he is so eager to kneel down and kowtow to her like a girl, how can people bear it?Ping'er can't wait to cry until she loses her breath, her heart hurts so much, she just hates herself why she didn't stop her, if she does it all over again, even if she dies, she can't be told to do those terrible things!

It's too late to say anything now, I can only pray to God to do a good job, so that they can be fooled by their tricks, anyway, as long as one life is left.

"Ping'er..."

"I promise you!" Ping'er broke down in tears and said, "If you really die, I will take Miss Qiao with me wherever I go in this life, even if I go to beg for food, I will raise her well. If you break today's promise, you will make me die from a thunderbolt!" But she has already made up her mind, and if she can't do it, she will take the blame.

Only then did Wang Xifeng feel relieved, and she sat quietly on the kang with her sister Qiao in her arms, and the constant intimacy was not enough. Seeing her daughter's innocent and lovely smiling face, her heart felt sour and almost shed tears again.

She didn't believe in the retribution of the underworld, but now she only hopes that if there is any retribution, she can be killed, but please don't involve sister Qiao.
