Seeing that Jia Baoyu didn't respond, Jia's mother hurriedly said: "Baoyu, if you want to go back on your word now before the imperial decree has been issued, I can still make your uncle put on a face and ask the Holy One, so that he can change someone else."

Jia Baoyu shook his head slowly: "Old Ancestor, there is no need, this is what I want."

Mother Jia was really angry. With so many sons and grandchildren, she valued Jia Baoyu the most.Back then when Jia Baoyu went on a study tour with Chen Yuetang, Jia's mother was already sad once. Fortunately, Jia Baoyu came back in the end, and he was able to support the Rongguo Mansion, but who knew he said he wanted to get married!

Mother Jia was dizzy with anger, she was quite disappointed with Jia Baoyu now, and her tone was not very good: "If you really make up your mind, then... from now on, Rongguo Mansion will..."

In the end, Mother Jia couldn't say a word to break up with Jia Baoyu, she just sighed in disappointment, and waved her hands weakly to let Jia Baoyu go down.

But Jia Baoyu did not leave obediently. He sat in front of Jia Mu with a calm expression and strong words: "Old ancestor, this matter has been settled now, even uncle can't help it. Your Majesty's golden words, how could it be so easy?" Will it be rescinded? Please don’t embarrass uncle.”

Mother Jia, who had seen through Jia Baoyu's attention, couldn't help feeling a little annoyed. She raised the crutch in her hand and wanted to hit Jia Baoyu, but she couldn't bear to part with her grandson, so she could only curse bitterly: "Baoyu! What is there in the capital?" You don't like it? Even if you don't like the capital or the mansion, you can go back to Jinling instead of going to the barren northern desert!"

Where are those?That's a land of barbarians!It's a place where savages live!

Jia Baoyu said in a low voice, "Old Ancestor, I have my reasons for going here, but loyalty and filial piety are difficult to achieve, and there are still Brother Lian and Lan'er in the family. Please, Ancestor... don't worry about Baoyu."

Mother Jia almost passed out. She pointed at Jia Baoyu, her hands trembling, and she finally let out a groan and passed out.

Rongguo Mansion was in turmoil, and Mrs. Wang and Jia's mother were all sick in bed because of Jia Baoyu's determination.Although Jia Zheng was also reluctant to part with his son, in Jia Zheng's heart, there were more fathers and sons, so he could accept Jia Baoyu's statement.

Mother Jia still had a fluke mentality about this matter, she wanted to force Jia Amnesty to go to the court to intercede with the emperor, if it didn't work, she, an old lady, could also go to the palace for a while.

This is difficult for Jia She, on the one hand, Jia She knows how much he is, and he can't stand up in front of the emperor, he is just a marginal role that cannot be more marginal; on the other hand, Jia She has no way to go against Jia Mu's words , for a while the Grand Master was quite in a dilemma.

Fortunately, the emperor did not know where he knew about this matter, and he happily helped Jia Baoyu solve this problem-the emperor directly issued an imperial decree and bestowed Jia Baoyu with a modest title.

As soon as the title was bestowed, everyone understood that Jia Baoyu's trip was a certainty, he had to go if he went, or he had to go if he didn't go.

Mrs. Wang was so sick that she could hardly get up, she was groggy, shed tears when she was awake, she looked much thinner and haggard.

Jia Baoyu did a good job serving the bedside, but Mrs. Wang didn't want to see him and pushed him away.Jia Baoyu had no choice but to calm down every morning and evening, so as to know Mrs. Wang's physical condition.

This matter could not be concealed in the capital, and it didn't take long for it to spread throughout the capital.Everyone knew that the second son of Rongguo Mansion was willing to be a kinsman son-in-law for the sake of wealth and fame. For a while, Rongguo Mansion became a laughing stock in the capital.

Lin Fu naturally also got the news, Lin Daiyu was quite worried for a while, and wanted to go to Rongguo Mansion to have a look, but was told by Lin Ruhai that if possible in the near future, it is better not to go to Rongguo Mansion.

Lin Daiyu was puzzled: "Daddy, our Lin family has never been like this... how could it be like this?"

Lin Ruhai smiled: "Yu'er, it's not because we look down on Rongguo Mansion, just wait and see."

Lin Ruhai was very mysterious, she didn't tell Lin Daiyu about the matter, Lin Daiyu could only guess by herself.On the contrary, Lizhi, who opened a shop selling dim sum on the other side, learned of Lin Ruhai's intentions from Lin Xiao first.

"The main reason is to get rid of the relationship with the Ningguo Mansion." Lin Xiao sat in the shop and gnawed on the bread happily. "It doesn't mean anything else. It's just that the Ningguo Mansion has gone too far recently. It's better to start early."

Li Zhi was baffled: "How can one Jia Baoyu separate Ningguo Mansion and Rongguo Mansion? This is too simple."

Lin Xiao smiled mysteriously: "Of course it's already planned."

Li Zhi didn't understand, and when she asked him again, Lin Xiao refused to say anything, and just asked her to watch carefully.

Lizhi had no choice but to snatch the bread from Lin Xiao's hand: "I have to pay for it! My bread didn't come from the wind!"

Lin Xiao rolled her eyes, and finally said a few more words: "It's just a few days, why are you in a hurry? Just wait and see."

In the palace, the emperor was correcting the memorial as usual.It's just that in the past few days, his refreshments have changed from small snacks in the imperial dining room to cakes from the lychee shop.

These cakes are specially baked by lychees for the emperor, each of them looks different, not only beautiful, but also delicious.

The emperor didn't know that he actually liked the sweet taste, and it tasted just right when paired with slightly bitter tea.

"Your Majesty," the eunuch next to him said in a low voice, "Concubine Wan please see me."

The emperor paused while eating the cake, and finally put down the spoon reluctantly: "Xuan."

After a while, Concubine Wan came in.She saluted the emperor according to the etiquette, and the emperor raised his hand to let her get up, and then said: "You all go down first."

All the servants withdrew, and for a while, only the emperor and concubine Wan were left in the huge palace.

When everyone left, the respectful expression on Concubine Wan's face disappeared instantly.She lifted her skirt and strode to the emperor's side.Concubine Wan frowned, and carefully examined the emperor's face: "...your body looks much worse than before."

The emperor was not angry because of Concubine Wan's straightforwardness, but just smiled and shook his head: "I know my body myself."

"Really?" Concubine Wan looked at the emperor suspiciously, and while he was not paying attention, Concubine Wan grabbed the emperor's wrist.

The emperor was full of helplessness, and could only let Concubine Wan give him a pulse diagnosis.

Concubine Wan took the pulse for a long time, and finally let go of the emperor's wrist angrily: "Your body is already like a ball of rags. If you continue like this, I'm afraid you won't live to be 25 years old."

The emperor smiled wryly: "I'm already 24."

"Yes, if you don't take good care of it, next year will be your death date," Concubine Wan said bluntly, "Do you think you have lived too long?"

The emperor withdrew his hand, and he scratched his face in embarrassment: "With such a body... it's really no fun to live forever."

Concubine Wan fell silent suddenly.

The emperor's body and bones have always been bad, and it is the old saint's credit to be able to raise him. However, even so, the emperor's body is declining day by day.Not only did he not have the energy to support it, but it was even wishful thinking to have children.

This is also the reason why there is only Concubine Wan in the palace, and even Concubine Wan is just showing off.She and the emperor simply take what they need, and when there is no one in private, Concubine Wan is more like the emperor's sister than a concubine.

"Tell me, have you lived your entire life without some failures?" Concubine Wan sat down beside the emperor, "I finally became the emperor, but there is still the Supreme Emperor. Internal and external troubles can hardly be wiped out, and I am busy all day long." , I feel tired and flustered just looking at it.”

The emperor put the revised memorial aside, and after listening to Concubine Wan, he smiled and said: "There is no way, there are no brothers in the family, if I don't come, who else can there be?"

"It's nothing more than a responsibility," the emperor said slowly. "Besides, I'm already the emperor. Apart from having no children and no wife, I've tried everything that should be done, so why not regret it?"

Concubine Wan frowned and did not speak.The emperor continued to correct the memorial, and the two sat silently in the hall, only the sound of burning candles could be heard for a while.

After a while, Concubine Wan said again: "What about Rongguo Mansion? And that Princess Muna, when do you plan to let her go back?"

"Jia Baoyu has already obtained the title, so of course he can't escape," the emperor said, "it will be winter, let Mu Na take Jia Baoyu back, if the desert in the north is not stable, let Jia She and Xining come back again." Take a trip, anyway, they know each other well."

Concubine Wan laughed out loud: "You are too narrow-minded, is it possible that there are no useful people in the court?"

"Of course there are," the emperor put down the vermilion pen in his hand, "it's just that I want to be willful."

As he said that, the emperor smiled at Concubine Wan: "Being the emperor, since my lifespan is not long, I still want to pave the way for Qiyang, just like...the emperor father paved the way for the old prince Yizhong. "

Concubine Wan stared at him for a while, then she finally rolled her eyes and said in a low voice, "As you please."

"Can you take care of Qiyang for me?" Seeing that Concubine Wan's attitude was loose, the emperor quickly took advantage of the victory to pursue him, "The child is smart, but he has suffered too much, and I'm afraid he won't be able to get out of the way."

Concubine Wan sneered, "Don't push yourself too hard."

"Isn't it okay to entrust an orphan at the end of life?" The emperor smiled, "I can't hand over Qiyang to the queen mother, and neither can the father. Of course, the only one I can trust is you, what do you think?"

Concubine Wan was defeated: "...that's all, I'm afraid of you, I will take care of him, don't worry."
