Daoist Lin sister [Red House]

Because they were going to enter the palace for a banquet, it was only after noon when Ying Miaoyang and Daiyu finished their makeup and boarded the car to go out.

It was rare for Lin Ruhai to be called by the Holy Majesty himself and allowed to leave, so he returned home early in the morning, and now he naturally accompanied his wife and daughter into the palace.

Lin's carriage rattled to the palace.Daiyu was sitting in the carriage, following the swaying gaps in the curtains, from time to time she saw Lin Ruhai who was riding beside her, her cheeks were on fire, and her hands kept twisting the handkerchief, she was both ashamed and full of grandeur.

Seeing it from the side, Ying Miaoyang couldn't help but curl her lips, leisurely picked up a candied fruit with two fingers, looked for Daiyu's small mouth, couldn't help but stuff it in.

"You, just eat a candied fruit with peace of mind!" Ying Miaoyang said, poking Daiyu's pink cheek with her finger, "If your father is really angry, why would he let you go out? The emperor's order cannot be violated, but the emperor Didn't say you have to go! How can Lin Datanhua be such an ignorant layman? Just put your heart back in your stomach!"

Ying Miaoyang pointed out Daiyu's thoughts again and again, and her face became more and more hot.Ying Miaoyang's voice was not low, Lin Ruhai followed closely outside the car, there was absolutely no reason why she couldn't hear.

Daiyu looked at Lin Ruhai tentatively, and saw that he was still sitting on the horseback, his expression was as usual, calm and composed, not only did he not show any anger, nor was there any abnormality.

Daiyu was relieved again, and said, "Who, who said I was worried? I, I was thinking, I don't know who can come with my sisters in Rongguo Mansion?"

"Oh? Your father said that your grandmother can take the initiative to ask for the royal plaque of Rong Guogong, and she also said that she will sell pots and iron to repay the money owed to the treasury. Girls from the Rongguo Mansion also participated in the Hundred Flowers Banquet. Unfortunately, except for Jia Yuanchun, your sisters and sisters..." Ying Miaoyang did not want to mention the backgrounds of Yingchun and Tanchun, so he just clicked on it and continued, "Who wouldn't I know that girls who participate in the Hundred Flowers Banquet will most likely be able to find a good marriage. This matter is a bit of a hassle!"

Thinking of this, Daiyu frowned again.

Besides, the Rongguo Mansion at this time is indeed a mess, and the more it is rationalized, the more chaotic it becomes.

That day, after Daiyu and Ying Miaoyang left, Mother Jia sent everyone back to their rooms and came to Baoyu's bedside alone.

At that time, Baoyu was awake, but she was still in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.

Jia Mu took Baoyu's hand and said earnestly, "My son Baoyu, you also saw your sister Lin today. Can you feel that she is different from before?"

Baoyu nodded slightly when he heard this.

When Jia Mu saw him, she was not unaware, and continued, "Don't blame grandma for being cruel. Grandma has something to tell you the truth. In the past, everyone called you Bao Erye and praised you as the son of Rong Guogong. Sun, there are dragons and phoenixes among the people, and if you don’t keep it together, some people will tell you that the huge family property in this mansion will be yours in the future. But, if you don’t mention it far away, let’s mention that this plaque on our mansion was given to your grandfather by the late emperor Now that your grandfather has passed away for many years, it is beyond the norm to still hang this plaque in our house. Saint Long En, don’t care about these things. Others will not talk about things that are not in the way of others for the time being. However, when the wall falls and everyone pushes it, What happened not long ago - you have seen it yourself. Today's Rongguo Mansion is no longer what it used to be..."

After Jia Mu talked at length, she didn't bring up the main point for a long time, because she was afraid that Baoyu, who was young, would not be able to accept it for a while, and wanted to go wrong.

Unexpectedly, Baoyu suddenly sat up, held her hand instead, and said, "Grandmother, don't say too much, Baoyu knows it's wrong. In the past, Baoyu just stretched out her hands for clothes, opened her mouth for meals, and was served by people walking, sitting and lying down. But she didn't think However, where did all of this come from. I never thought about where I would leave myself, and where would I leave my grandmother, parents, and all my brothers and sisters if one day the Changing Building collapsed Baoyu was wrong!"

Obviously after talking with Daiyu, Baoyu seemed to have a sudden enlightenment, but when Jia Mu entered the room and looked at him, he was still in a daze.But because Baoyu is reflecting.

As the saying goes, if you are not in charge of your family, you don't know the price of firewood, rice, oil and salt. The precious jade in the past also had sorrow, but it was just that young people didn't know the taste of sorrow, so they forced to express sorrow for new words.In this short period of more than a month, he looked at what Sister-in-law Feng, who had always been smart, skilled, and slick, wanted to eat for her family today?The old lady's medicine supply is out of order... Waiting for the little things like sesame and mung beans, her face is covered with blisters, and she can't sleep all night, and her jealousy is like a rabbit.

Seeing that the second elder brother Lian, who used to be unrestrained and unrestrained, with his eyes high above the top, and having fun at banquets all day long, bows to others every day, humbly, just to find out a little bit of style, he knows that the situation is stronger than others, and flowers will not be popular for a hundred days;

Looking at his father who respects him like a jackal by nature, but standing in front of some guards wearing iron armor, he was startled and unable to speak in tune. Only then did he realize that patriarchal parents are so powerful that nothing is considered in the face of open flames. not on.

Finally, after the rain and the sun cleared, Baoyu thought that everything should return to the original state, but he was the first to go to find Baochai, only to see the bustling moving team in Lixiangyuan.Siblings and brothers have been in love for many years, and they will be separated soon.

When he entered Yashe in a daze, he could hear other people's words, although they were all high-spirited and on paper, they were all things he had never thought about before.In the past, I only thought that I could enjoy the shade by leaning on a big tree with my back, but I didn't know that the imperial power was supreme, and there were sudden changes, so how could I find a stable life?

Until the last thing I saw in my dream, the disaster was imminent, the overwhelming force was overwhelming, and the wind and clouds were scattered, so I had nothing but a vast expanse of whiteness...

Baoyu finally woke up!

Now that the investigation has been done, looking back at the past, I feel ashamed and inexplicable.After Baoyu said that, he couldn't help kneeling on the bed, and kowtowed three times to Jiamu.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

There are three sounds, each of which is like knocking on the tip of Jia Mu's heart.

The old man who has seen all kinds of things in the world, when he sees his children growing up, suddenly burst into tears.

Just a moment ago, Mother Jia was still full of frustration, she only felt that the Rongguo Mansion could only be safe if they surrendered their honorary title and abandoned the first way.

However, at this moment, she just uttered the thoughts in her heart, and Baoyu seemed to understand her thoughts, and she grew up and became sensible in the blink of an eye!

It's really pitiful to the heavens, how could she not be grateful!

"Okay, okay, if you think about it, grandma will die without regret!" Mother Jia wiped her tears and turned back to the outer room and called, "Yuanyang, go and invite the elder and second master and second mistress, just say I have something important to discuss with them."

Yuanyang took the order to invite Jia Amnesty, Jia Lian and Sister Feng.

Jia Mu held Baoyu's hand and asked him how he figured it out?Baoyu hesitated to speak several times, but he still didn't dare to easily tell what he saw and heard in his dream. He just faltered and said: "I saw Sister Lin today, and my grandson was fed up again. , I finally know all the absurd things in the past. In the end, in the end, we are no longer six or seven-year-old children!"

Baoyu spoke intermittently and confusedly, most people could not understand clearly.But Jia's mother was so impressed that she guessed right by herself.Thinking of Yongyu's words in the outer room, Baoyu would not be indifferent if he heard it inside.The young man is most impulsive.If you can't wish for trouble, you are still inferior to others, and there is nothing more exciting than this!

Although Jia Mu wanted to be wrong, she also hit the right way.Now that Baoyu has gone astray, she no longer needs to worry about her.Jia Mu patted Baoyu's hand, pushed him back on the bed, and said with relief, "Don't bully the poor boy! You are born with a big difference. You must not be a thing in the pool. Don't be discouraged. Besides, a thin camel is bigger than a horse. Our family is not going to have to rely on you as a doll to support the family right away. Take care of your body so that you can study well in the future. Leave the rest to grandma!"

After that, Jia Mu got up and left.Baoyu also wanted to talk about the raid on the house in his dream, and suddenly remembered what Jia Mu had said before. It seemed that he wanted to ask the emperor to take back the plaque and title of Rongguo Mansion.

"Since they have all invited themselves to win the title, then there will be no more tragic things like ransacking the house?" Baoyu thought to himself, knowing that freezing three feet was not a day's cold, so he lay down on the bed, thinking over and over again about singing in his dream. content, intending to find a little bit of clues from it, so as to avoid it early.

At the other end, Jia Amnesty was waiting in Rongxi Hall. Hearing the message from the servants, he hurriedly came with Jia Lian and Sister Feng.Mrs. Xing also intended to come, but was stopped by Yuanyang.Even Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang wanted to come, but they were turned away.

Jia Lian and Sister Feng looked at each other, but they didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Jia's mother's gourd. They were afraid of some terrible news, so they were wary of each other.

The father, son, and husband and wife were waiting in the Nuan Pavilion, and Jia's mother arrived in a short while.

Jia She rushed forward and asked anxiously, "Mother, what happened to your son and others in such a hurry?"

Mother Jia took a deep look at Jia Amnesty, sat down as he supported him, and pulled him to sit next to her with her backhand. She waved her hand to signal to the three of them not to worry, but said after a long time: "Boss, these years, my mother let you sit down." Wronged."

The words were astonishing, and none of the three present knew why.

Jia Amnesty has always been scolded by Jia's mother more than praised, but suddenly he got this kind words, he felt a little uncomfortable, and said with a blushing face: "What is the mother talking about? Mother is very kind, and the son is ten thousand..." Because of the recent Just after the "bloody disaster", Jia She was taboo, and dared not say the word "death", and said vaguely, "I can't report it, how can I say that my mother is not?"

In the bottom of my heart, I suddenly thought of the sadness of life by the stables these years.

Jia's mother looked at him, she knew her son better than her mother, so she didn't know that he only talked nicely, but didn't pursue it.Turning to look at Jia Lian and Sister Feng, he said, "This round of siege, our family was able to escape unscathed. It's thanks to Brother Rong, but more thanks to your uncle and sister Lin."

Jia Lian and Sister Feng nodded repeatedly without waiting for Jia's mother to finish speaking.

When Jia Mu saw this, she was even more relieved, and continued: "Only you and your husband are also people who have made great achievements. Grandma has seen it in her eyes and remembered it in her heart. The future of Rongguo Mansion depends on Lian'er."

These words are heavy!

Both Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian suddenly raised their heads to look at Jia's mother. Only Sister Feng lowered her head slightly, and tears flashed from the corners of her eyes.

"Let's not talk about the past. From today onwards, Boss, you will move back to Rongxi Hall. The housekeeper is still controlled by Feng girl." Jia Mu said.

Jia Amnesty was so overjoyed that he couldn't believe his ears, shook his head, and looked at Jia's mother with wide eyes.

"Although I'm old, I can still decide this matter. From now on, the Rongguo Mansion will be in the hands of your father, son, and husband and wife. Boss, you should refrain from your old habits and stop doing nothing all day long. You need to be wise. Hanging a sharp sword, you should be cautious." Mother Jia admonished.

Jia Amnesty kept nodding his head, his heart was ecstatic.

Jia Lian frowned, and couldn't help interjecting: "Grandmother, why did you suddenly give birth and have such thoughts? Where is the second uncle and second aunt..."

"Everything is up to me, so Lian'er doesn't have to worry about it. It's just that this is the first thing, and I have a second thing to say. If you don't agree to the second thing—"

Before Jia's mother could finish her sentence, Jia Amnesty hurriedly said, "Mother is the head of the family, and my son has absolutely no reason not to agree to what mother says."

Mother Jia gave Jia She a meaningful look, and said slowly, "Oh? If that's the case, if I say that I will let you write a letter tomorrow, how about I ask you to seize the title and get the plaque?"

"Plop!" Jia She fell from the armchair and sat down on the ground. His well-maintained face turned pale with shock, and he said with shaking hands, "Mother, mother, don't scare the child, don't scare the child! The child is timid!"

It's not that Jia's mother is ignorant of Jia She's temperament, and it's not surprising to see him behave like this, but she fixes her eyes on Jia Lian to see how he answers.

Jia Lian was also inexplicably horrified.Today, there are many distinguished guests from the house.However, he was limited by his identity and never said a word.They just chatted with each other a few words when they were walking around the garden with Yang Yi.

Yang Yi is enthusiastic and upright, but he is also very measured. He knows that there are most dirty things in the wealthy family, so he refuses to speak easily.Jia Lian tried a few words, but he couldn't find a way, so he had to give up.But he thanked Lin Ruhai and Daiyu for their life-saving kindness, and said that he would go to the house regularly in the future to listen to his uncle and Yang Yi's teachings.

A few words will come down, and it can be regarded as a happy conversation.Jia Lian thought that today's meeting was really a visit from Daiyu to miss her old love.

But looking at Jia Mu's current situation, it must have happened some major event that he didn't know about, which made the old lady let go of her "eccentricity" and "heart knot" for many years, and made such a big move.

Ask yourself to seize the title and go to the plaque?What would Jia Lian be without the plaque of Rongguo Duke's Mansion and the hereditary title?

Jia Lian couldn't help but turned to look at Sister Feng.In the past, she looked down on herself, but the housekeeper these days, he has also seen clearly that the Rongguo Mansion is just a big mansion, full of fat slaves... If there is no title, salary and silver subsidies, what will happen to her daughter of the royal family Think you deserve it?

As everyone knows, Sister Feng doesn't think so.Although she didn't study much and never went out, she couldn't help being smart.These days, she was the only one among so many scholars in the house who saw through it.

The title house was bestowed by the royal family, and the royal family said it would be taken.The only thing that can be grasped is real power and status.

Is it a big crime to commit treason and copy one's home?Can't tell?Is it too many to implicate the innocent?Although Sister Feng doesn't read history, she has also heard opera and talk.For such a big matter, Lin Ruhai can support them all.

By what?It's not the favor of the Holy One!

Jia Rong's children's family has a few catties and a few taels on weekdays. How can Sister Feng not know?But if he was ruthless, he was able to do such an earth-shattering event, and he succeeded in currying favor with Prince Xian's mansion, earning an important position in the army in a blink of an eye.But in five or six years, it must be a big family in the capital again.For Jia Rong, the descendants of Ning Guogong are indeed his help in the army.But Ning Guogong has passed away for a long time, if his identity arouses someone's taboo, it will be even worse.

The so-called honorable background is just icing on the cake for them.Against the clock, it is a ghost talisman.

Sure enough, without thinking too much, Sister Feng raised her head to meet Jia Lian's gaze, and nodded emphatically.

But Jia Lian was confused by her expression, and his eyebrows became tighter and tighter.

Jia Amnesty finally came back to it, feeling bitter in his heart.He thought that after all these years, his mother finally realized that she still had his son, and she was willing to rectify his name and let him be the legitimate master of Rongguo Mansion.

But how did he know that as his master, he can only be a master for one day, and he will ask himself to seize the title the next day.When he was not a master before, he still had a noble title, but now that he is a master, he will lose his status immediately, so what kind of master is Lao Shizi!

Jia Amnesty was disheartened, but he also felt a bad breath hovering in his chest and abdomen, he couldn't vomit, and he was about to speak with a cold face.

Seeing this, Jia Lian was afraid that his father's words would anger Jia's mother again, so he hurriedly said, "Grandmother, forgive my grandson for his incompetence. I don't know what grandma's move means, but I hope grandma will speak clearly."

Sitting high in the hall, Jia's mother naturally had a panoramic view of everyone's eyes and expressions. How could she not know Jia She's grief and indignation?Thinking about it, he had a hard time. Hearing the words, he sighed deeply and said, "The king of Nan'an County has resigned his military power. That's it," he said, pointing to the top of his head, meaning the emperor, "I don't know who's thinking How about it. It's not like our family can't find any mistakes in this big event."

Jia's mother turned to look at Jia Amnesty.When Jia She heard this, he lowered his head.

"I'm gradually no longer the housekeeper. I don't know what's going on in the inner courtyard, let alone what you guys are doing outside. But, in private, do you have any contacts? What have you planned? What do you think? Clear. Let’s not talk about it, it’s the one from the East Mansion. Since we’re in our house, we’re inseparable from it. Now that we’re in this situation, it’s a blessing from our ancestors. If you don’t hesitate..."

Mother Jia didn't say the rest of the words, but her words were full of meaning.

Jia Amnesty couldn't help but turn pale with fright when he thought of what he said to others during the dinner and feast every day.

"What does mother mean, is, who should be held accountable?" Jia She asked stammeringly.

Jia Mu said seriously: "The power of the sky is unpredictable, and it can't be guaranteed. One day we will make a mistake in our business, or offend someone, and we will be ginsenged in a book. When the family is angry and the old things are brought up again, we will suffer ten times—" —”

Jia Amnesty didn't wait for Jia Mu to finish speaking, his face was pale with fright, he rolled and crawled to Jia Mu's legs, and said in a tearful voice: "So, so, what should mother say?"

"Put it to death and live!" It was Jia Lian who suddenly said loudly.

After listening quietly for a long time, he finally understood Jia Mu's deep meaning.Now that the siege of Jia's mansion has been lifted, and since such high-level people as Daiyu, Princess Gaoyang and Prince Xian's son dared to pay a visit to the mansion without avoiding suspicion, it means that there is no problem with Jia's mansion.

However, it is at stake.Since the wrong place and the handle are in other people's hands, but they can't cut the grass and roots, they can only cut off the wrists of a strong man, and show their loyalty thoroughly!What's the use of keeping a dilapidated nobleman who can no longer make waves?It's better to use this to sell to the royal family, and do what they like, maybe you can get a little pity, two benefits!

Mother Jia's trick is wonderful!

Sister Feng also echoed: "That's right. There is an old lady sitting in the town, and you, sir, write the letter yourself. Don't hurry up early or late, and you won't be able to keep everything..." Sister Feng had a lot of troubles in her mind.That being the case, the advantages of this move must outweigh the disadvantages. How can the royal family let them go away empty-handed?Even if the bamboo basket fetches water in vain, when the time comes, let the second master go to beg Lin Ruhai, no matter how hard she is to curry favor with Daiyu, just like today's young prince Yongyu, Jia Rong can join the army as a school captain, and the second master is the vanguard general Not too much, right?

Sister Feng has a lot of wishful thinking, but she doesn't want to think about it. With Jia Lian's body, she is still a vanguard general. She may die before her ambition is unfulfilled.

It's just that Sister Feng thought carefully, so she never said it.

Looking at Sister Feng and Jia Lian, Jia's mother was very pleased.Rongguo Mansion is not completely without successors.In the past, Baoyu was enlightened, and later, Lian'er and his wife were sensible. If she let go of her old face, the disaster of Jia's family will surely pass!

On the other side, Jia She heard Jia Lian and Sister Feng's words, thought and thought in his heart, vaguely grasping some clues, but still not very clear.Just thinking about it, no matter how partial the mother is, she also favors the younger son, the title is gone, not only is there no place for him to be amnesty, but how can Cunzhou get better?

"Mother will definitely not harm me! Definitely not!" Thinking of this, Jia She lowered his head and said respectfully, "So, it's all up to mother to arrange."

Jia's mother didn't expect Da Fang to be so easily persuaded by her, she was a little stunned.

But Jia Lian asked, "Do you want to communicate with Brother Zhen?"

Jia Mu nodded and said, "Naturally. Our two families are in the same line, and we share the same spirit. One is prosperous and the other is hurt. Besides, this matter cannot be kept secret from others. However, what Brother Zhen does is his business. You Uncle Jing is still here, this matter should be decided by their father and son. You two only need to explain the pros and cons."

Jia Amnesty and Jia Lian took orders and left.

Jia Mu wants to ask someone to invite Jia Zheng and his wife again.Sister Feng saw her tired face, leaning on the couch, almost unable to sit still, so she hurriedly stopped her, and said distressedly: "Old lady, you have been working so hard today, but you don't care about your own body? You must leave this important matter to you." It's up to you. You must not be exhausted!"

Mother Jia patted the back of Sister Feng's hand emotionally, and said: "I know my body well, and I can still hold it! This is too big a matter, as you said, hurry up and invite your second uncle and aunt. Talk to the clan elders."

When Sister Feng thought about it, it was true, so she was too busy to make a fuss.

When Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang arrived, the inside of Jia Mu's Nuan Pavilion was completely lively.

Candles were always burning, and people in the Nuan Pavilion came and went, arguing endlessly.First, Li Wan came with Jia Lan, then Baoyu was forced to come by the attackers, and later, a group of old men and women who were shaky and trembling along came with the support of others... By dawn , Jia Jing and Jia Zhen came hand in hand.In the end, even Qin Keqing, who was staying behind closed doors, was forced to fight!

It was said that it was good, and the paper was delivered the next day, and after three days of tossing, it was not until the fifth day of the seventh month that the paper that Jia She asked to seize the title and remove the plaque was delivered to the imperial couch.

He is currently seriously ill, and has been a lingering sickbed recently, so he doesn't read the memorials easily, and the fourth prince and the cabinet ministers will do everything for him.But they dare not say it to the outside world, and they still have to pretend that the world is peaceful, celebrate the Qixi Festival, and then they have to do routine work to recruit talented girls.

Unexpectedly, on the fifth day of the lunar new year, Du Ming personally delivered a memorial with only a few pages to his bedside.

"But there is another change in the locust plague in Ping'an Prefecture?" The emperor's eyelids twitched three times when he saw this.

First, there was a drought, and then the flood disaster in the south was eliminated. Ping'an Prefecture is rich in products and has tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land.The imperial court originally pointed to it for disaster relief, but when the locusts arrived, the mature grains were cheap for the locusts' mouths.Disasters continue and the people do not have enough to eat, which will lead to civil unrest and civil uprisings. The overthrow of the previous dynasty is a lesson.

What's more, the emperor's health is getting worse and worse, and he knows that the end is approaching, and the imperial power will change at this time.If the successor he chooses is a little careless, he will be pulled down by others, so how can he not be in a hurry!

Du Ming hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Returning to Your Majesty, the locust disaster in Ping'an Prefecture is now being carried out according to that young scholar's idea, and it has been quite effective. Your Majesty can rest assured. Today, this minister is sending good news to His Majesty."

Only then did the emperor relax a little bit, and lay back on the dragon bed, raised his eyebrows slightly, took the memorial from the maid of honor, and looked through it.

However, after a quick glance, two clusters of cold lights lit up in the emperor's increasingly cloudy eyes, and a faint redness appeared on his yellowish face, like firewood that was about to burn out in the cold wind. As soon as it blew, the sparks suddenly lit up again.

After a while, the emperor finished reading the memorial, closed it with a smile and said, "Lian Po is old, can he still eat? The old lady should not be underestimated!"

Du Ming looked at his words and saw that the emperor was really happy, and he was really happy, so he echoed at the right time: "It's still the Holy One, the kindness is so great, how can the Jia family not feel ashamed!"

Xungui has always been a major concern of the royal family.Especially not long after the founding of this dynasty, there are countless heroes with the merits of Conglong.But it has gone through several generations, and the descendants have gradually become ineffective.However, they are still in contact with each other, and the forces of all parties are intertwined.As the power grows stronger, the ambition will expand, gradually becoming too big to lose.

Since he ascended the throne, the emperor has been determined to rectify wantonly, but there is too much resistance.Even up to now, there are many rich and noble relatives in Beijing who have vegetarian meals and even sell officials and nobles. The good court discipline has been ruined by you!

Even in Meng Xi's treasonous case, the emperor would not believe it if he said that there were no these people who were behind the instigation and instigation, or even assisted.Although the emperor had already punished a large number of honorable and courtiers through the rebellion, there were still some who slipped through the net.In order to prevent everyone in the government and the public from being in danger, talking endlessly, and turbulent, the emperor could only temporarily hold back the thought of killing the grass and roots, but all the black accounts were recorded.

Now the Rongguo Mansion is well-informed, taking the lead in throwing away the false name of Lao Shizi, praising his merits and publicly admitting his mistakes, and bluntly saying that he will repay the debt owed to the national treasury and enrich the national treasury.As soon as this gap is opened, those who are used to pondering the will of the Holy Spirit and adapting to the wind will have some calculations in their hearts.

Without moving a single soldier, the power dilemma of the nobles was resolved without any effort, and being in the capital was exactly what the emperor wanted, and Longyan was happy, so naturally it was no problem.

"Although the old matriarch has hills and valleys in her chest, she is a woman after all, and she can't see things so clearly. It's probably the idea of ​​your precious apprentice Lin Hai?" Smile a few words.

Du Ming, a veteran of the three dynasties, was also considered to be a child and watched the emperor grow up. He didn't know what the emperor was thinking. His body was bent like a shrimp, and he said respectfully: "My emperor's praise. How can my stupid apprentice have such exquisite thoughts? It's the queen empress. The grandson of mine whom I fancy, although Daiyu's youngest son is the daughter of a boudoir, she has the virtues of a grandson."

"Oh? It was her idea of ​​a doll?" The emperor was quite surprised.

"Not really. It's just that the girl is very filial. Seeing that her grandmother has worked so hard for the family's honor and disgrace, she is indifferent by nature and doesn't care about fame and fortune, so she speaks out to comfort the old lady. In this way, the old lady got advice. Lift."

The emperor nodded when he heard the words, and blurted out: "It's strange that the empress likes her so much, and even thought of marrying the ninth prince. Speaking of which, the fourth child also mentioned it to me. It's just a fair lady, a gentleman is so good, That little girl won the heart of my most beloved nephew long ago."

The emperor just said a few more words on the spur of the moment, but Du Ming almost broke out in a cold sweat.

What he just said was intended to be a test, even though Lin's residence and Prince Xian's residence had reached an agreement, and Minglu also informed the empress, the emperor must know about it.It's just that these days, he saw that the emperor was getting worse day by day, his temper changed drastically, he was suspicious and irritable, and even the fourth prince, who was the first choice for the reserve position, was often to blame.Under Aiwujiwuxia, he was also afraid that the emperor would change his mind suddenly, which would make things difficult for his good apprentice and pro-disciple Lin Ruhai.

Seeing what the emperor meant, there are quite a few people who are tempted by Lin Daiyu.

In fact, if Prince Xian's House hadn't acted first, Du Ming himself would have liked Daiyu very much.

Fortunately, the emperor was not ignorant, and he didn't focus on paving the way for the fourth prince. He didn't think about exchanging his backyard for his ministers. Du Ming secretly wiped his sweat.

"The Rongguo Mansion's move is very much in line with my wishes. The Duke of Rongguo sacrificed his life for the country, and his contribution is not small. Although he passed away, I cherish the loyal ministers, but I don't want his wife and children to suffer from hunger and cold. However, Jia's mansion has no Duke after all. If the name is not correct, the words will not go well. Pass on my will, I will accept his request, and pity him for his loyalty, let Jia Amnesty return to his hometown in Jinling to work, his son Jia Lian will go to the Ministry of Officials to work with Lin Hai, and another son will be allowed to study in the Imperial Academy. Two. The specific official position is up to you to see if there is a shortage.” The emperor said.

Du Ming bowed to accept the decree, retired and drafted the imperial decree.

After Du Ming left, the emperor lay down for a while, wondering if he was in a good mood, and he was in a rare mood to drive around the harem.

At that time, the empress was busy organizing the Banquet of Flowers on the Qixi Festival. At that time, all civil and military officials would attend the meeting, seating, food, singing and dancing performances, tricks and tricks, begging for blessings, and so on. Too busy.

It's not that the empress doesn't know that the emperor is seriously ill, so she still has the leisure to make these tricks.It is really the empress who deeply understands the sacred heart and knows why the emperor did this.The emperor and the empress are united, and they live together in a high position. No one is more aware of the consequences of the instability of the court and the panic of the people than the empress.What's more, the emperor did hide it well, and the empress always hoped that although the emperor was seriously ill, she was happy and recuperated, and there would be a good day in the end.

No, the empress was looking at the meal list handed over by the imperial dining room, but heard the news that the emperor had arrived.

The emperor hadn't entered the harem for many days, and even the empress was beating drums in her heart. How could she not be happy to see someone coming?Go out quickly.

Or Yu Jia carried it directly to the palace gate.The emperor was supported by someone and moved to the brocade couch by the window to lie on his back. Immediately, the eunuchs moved all the icebergs inside and outside the main hall out.

The emperor beckoned the empress to sit down, and briefly explained the matter of the Rongguo Mansion's booklet.After hearing this, the queen was also overjoyed, but immediately thought of her natal nephews, and showed embarrassment.

The emperor knew what she was thinking, and patted the back of her hand, "You don't have to think too much, I know that although you are a queen, you are a girl, and you can't speak in your natal family. But those nephews in your natal family are quite sensible. Deli, I don't look at the monk's face and the Buddha's face, I will always keep them. It's just..."

The emperor remained silent.However, once he passed away and the fourth child succeeded to the throne, no one would know whether he would still maintain the dignity of the nanny empress dowager's natal family.

The empress felt a little bit in her heart, knowing that the ominous situation was ominous, she immediately interrupted: "The day after tomorrow will be the Qiqiao Festival. I still remember that when the concubines first entered the mansion, it was also in time for Qixi Festival. Your Majesty even made a special opening speech for the concubines." , I wonder if Your Majesty still remembers?"

The emperor smiled, and said slowly: "It's hard for you to remember such a long time ago! Among many brothers, my pen and ink can only be regarded as the lowest level, and I'm afraid even that boy Yongyu can't compare with it. Catch Minger, Let him fill in a few poems for you, Grandma Huang."

The empress covered her lips and smiled softly: "Now that his dream has come true, how can he care about the old lady like my concubine?"

"If you are old, what should I do? Speaking of which, I don't know how you are doing with the selection of beautiful girls?" the emperor asked.

Every three years there is a female draft, which is also divided into general elections and minor elections. This year is a minor election. It mainly selects palace ladies, female historians, and princess companions for the empresses of various palaces.

During the small elections, the harem will also be merciful and let some old or disabled palace ladies out of the palace.

This year's small election, the date is set early.Originally, because the emperor's dragon body was ill and there was no shortage of people in the harem, he wanted to stop the election.However, Meng Xi's rebellion case happened again. In order to reassure people's hearts, the emperor ordered a general election. After the minor election, there will be a general election.

The so-called general election is to choose a concubine for the harem, and it is also a match for the prince or even the hero.All daughters of senior officials who have reached the age of twelve are required to register.If you already have a marriage contract, or someone you want to ask for, you can hand in a note in advance—please drop it.

Daiyu is also in the general election this year.

This is why the annual Tanabata Hundred Flowers Banquet is so important!Those ladies from famous families who usually want to be cautious in their words and deeds, well-behaved, dignified and virtuous will let go of their arrogance and shyness and be generous in their blind dates.

"The minor elections are being handled in accordance with the old rules. Your Majesty does not need to worry. However, I would like to ask Your Majesty to have a look at the number of female historians who will be released from the palace this year." The empress replied.

The emperor waved his hand and refused: "You are the lord of the harem, and your mother respects the world. You can decide on such a small matter. I—"

The emperor was talking when he suddenly heard the beaded curtain beside him slamming.

"Bold! Who is watching from behind?" The empress's personal nun took the lead in scolding.

"Holy Majesty, please forgive me. The servant girl came to deliver tea and accidentally messed up the bead curtain. She didn't mean to peep." A soft and pitiful female voice sounded.

The emperor followed his prestige, but there was a female historian in red, timidly kneeling in front of her, with her head on the ground, revealing a long section of white Saixue's neck, which was shockingly whiter than that hair full of blue hair. Exciting.

In front of the female history, there was a pastel tray with two teacups on it.

However, the lady delivering the tea was careless and made a noise, which was not a big deal. The emperor didn't take it to heart. After taking a look, he turned around and wanted to continue talking to the queen.

But the Empress suddenly said: "Your Majesty just said that the Rongguo Mansion invited the noble to take the plaque—"

The female Shi who was kneeling on the ground didn't listen to her orders, she didn't dare to stand up, when she suddenly heard the empress's words, she bumped into Sheng Jia's face that had never turned pale, and was so frightened that she immediately turned pale.

"It turns out that what mother said is true! It turns out that grandma refused to listen to persuasion so much that uncle has already given the book!" Yuan Chun knelt on the cold ground, although it was hot summer, it was like winter, and it was so cold to the bottom of his heart .

The empress doesn't need to look back, just throwing out this sentence, she knows that Jia Yuanchun is definitely not feeling well!The anger subsided a little.

These days, when she has something on her mind, she relaxes the discipline of her subordinates.It's just that I didn't expect that the concubines in the harem didn't act as demons, and a little female Shi beside her was first moved.

The Empress deliberately half-spoken, hanging on to Yuan Chun, and took a long time to continue: "Your Majesty Long En, don't forget the old mistakes, and let their descendants go to the Imperial College to study, it is a great grace. The concubine can't be left behind. Just now I mentioned that the list of female historians who will be released this year, coincidentally, this Jia female historian," said, and poked Yuan Chun with her jade finger.

Yuan Chun listened to the Empress Empress's words, and at first she lowered her high-spirited heart slowly, and even felt very grateful, so she couldn't help but wanted to thank her, but then she heard the Empress Empress talk about letting the female history out of the palace, her heart was heavy and high again Hanging, thud, thud, beating violently, almost jumping out of the cavity.

"It's the granddaughter of Rong Guogong's direct relative. She has served the concubine for many years and worked hard. Now she has reached the age of marriage. According to the concubine, she should be released to find a good family. It is not in vain for her family to serve the country for generations. Be loyal." The empress said.

but only said to find
