[Red Mansion] Queen's Road
Chapter 76
It would be great if one child could have two children.
This kind of thing still depends on fate. When the imperial doctors of the imperial hospital came to check their pulse, Linlin asked them, and there was only one baby in this pregnancy.
Time passed quickly, and it was autumn in a blink of an eye. Linlin's birthday was in autumn. Because the husband and wife had discussed about Linlin's birth some time ago, Linlin couldn't avoid thinking about her short-lived sister.
Now that I am a mother, I can somewhat understand the grief of losing a child, but I still can't understand Jia Min's anger back then.It's just that many years have passed, and in retrospect, Fengguo Wuhen still vaguely remembers that smart sister back then.
A few days before her birthday, Linlin called Qilin to her.
"I didn't think about it so much before, but now that I'm older, I think too much. I always feel that your aunt is alone in the ground... You can burn a piece of paper for your aunt when you are free these two days. She died young and was not allowed to be buried in the ancestral grave. At first, she just found a place with good geomantic omen in a small village near the capital and buried her quietly. You quietly burn the paper for me and place some sacrifices. Celebrate her birthday."
Qilin agreed.
Lin Ruhai and Jia Min's eldest daughter who passed away was buried on the Lin family's Zhuangzi, and Qilin took Lin Jiao to the Zhuangzi to pay homage quietly.
For Linlin, this year's birthday was not only boring, but also a bit aggrieved.
On his birthday, the Supreme Emperor sent someone to reward him with some things from the West Garden.This kind of thing happens every year. It belongs to the good face of you, me, everyone. In the past, the eunuchs put down their things and took the rewards and left. This year, they took out a verbal order from the Supreme Emperor.
After removing some tongue-in-cheek modifiers, the central idea is that the Supreme Emperor thought of his concubines leaving home and missing his parents. Although he had visited relatives at the beginning, he could not enjoy family happiness after all.So it was decided to allow the relatives of the concubine to enter the palace on the first day of each month in the future, "to share the family relationship."
The eunuch who came to deliver the order also whispered to Linlin privately, "...the imperial concubine in the palace and the imperial concubine have not been in contact for a long time, and the imperial concubine found out that she was grounded, so she asked the emperor for such a decree, The Supreme Emperor also said, 'It's all over, just shut her up for a few months to vent her anger, and keep her in jail for the rest of her life.' He wants you to release the noble concubine."
Linlin thought that she had encountered such a disgusting thing in her good life, besides being angry and angry, she also felt a little dispirited.
"Please go back and report to the Supreme Emperor on behalf of the palace, 'Father and emperor's orders must be obeyed. I heard that the five princesses have not been in good health recently, and no one is serving the noble concubine. Why don't we send our noble concubine there? After serving the noble concubine Let her come back again. This is also a piece of filial piety as a minister, please promise my father.'”
The old lady nodded after listening, repeated it again and went back.
It didn't take long to send a message again, naturally not to let the noble concubine go to serve in the West Garden, and said, "...the descendants are the most important."
When the emperor came back at night, he saw Linlin sitting in the hall with a straight face and knew he was angry.
I just didn't understand, "Usually, you always like to obey the will of that old thing, why do you take it seriously today? The imperial doctor told me that the old thing didn't live for a few years, and it passed after a little bit of patience. In previous years You are the one who persuaded me to endure, are you... not planning to endure anymore?"
"I just thought about how the two of them are still alive and well."
The emperor smiled indifferently, "That's because you didn't see their veins. Do you know why Father cares so much about that old hag now? The old hag's eyes were broken a while ago, and her vision is blurry." Blurred, let’s say it’s presbyopia, but it’s different from presbyopia. Although I can feel the light now, but the longer the time drags on, the more completely the eyes will be damaged.”
After hearing this, Linlin felt that this should be a complication of high blood sugar, but this complication broke out violently and seriously.
"Why didn't anyone tell me?"
"The Supreme Emperor asked people to shut up. That old hag has been domineering in the palace for so many years and has made many enemies. I think the reason why the Supreme Emperor can't wait to go to Jiangnan is that Jiangnan is at least reassuring for him, and it is the hometown of the noble concubine. ...It's just that the Eastern Empress Dowager has been unable to understand for so many years that the couple are husband and wife, and the Eastern Empress Dowager is an outsider."
Linlin sighed a little bit, thinking of the current situation, the two old people didn't take good care of them, and lived the last few years well, what are they tossing around all day.
The emperor took off his outer coat, "Raise a son to guard against old age, the five kings can't count on it, and the other sons, the Supreme Emperor, don't want to count on it at all, so it's very miserable now. You said that he just casually treats me outside like this If the brothers are better, they will rush to serve him, and I will not make things difficult for him for the sake of reputation, such a poor man must have something to hate."
After she finished speaking, she sighed, wondering if she was thinking of herself, so she said to Linlin, "I dare not relax in the slightest when raising these sons. If an unfilial son is raised, he will treat us with high eyebrows and low eyes in his later years." Then it will be too late to regret.”
"What are you thinking? Our children won't be like this." Linlin only felt that his thoughts were a bit untenable.
The emperor sat there, thinking a lot while the lights were on and off, "I have never killed that old thing, and I have to make him bear him everywhere, not all for the sake of the world to see. I am also afraid of our son's death." Follow me, if one day you kill me and disrespect you... the retribution in this world."
Linlin quickly put her arms around his neck, "You think too much, the sons are filial, no one is disrespectful to us, as parents, how can we let the sons turn upside down."
"Yes, you can't let them turn the sky, keep an eye on them."
By the way, I changed the subject, "How are you getting people to build the imperial mausoleum?"
Linlin is the one who pays, so she knows the progress of the project like the back of her hand.
"You used to say that copper was used to make the wall. Copper was difficult to get together, so I made stones, filled the gaps with stones, and poured copper water to form a seamless piece. The entire wall was nine feet thick, and nine feet thick stones were used. The strips are pasted on the copper wall, which is the second layer. Then use bricks and quicksand to make the third layer. After the third layer is the fourth layer, which is still stone strips. The fifth layer is still pouring stones with copper water. Each layer It is 2 feet thick and has 3 layers in total. Does it match your status as the Ninety-Five Supreme?"
The emperor laughed, "The quicksand is wonderful. Those tomb robbers would never have imagined that quicksand is waiting for them after they have worked so hard to break through the two floors. And after the quicksand moves, it does not affect the two floors inside. We are still safe and sound." Yes. This idea is very clever, I know you came up with it."
Linlin smiled slightly, thinking that things like stones don't need to cost too much money.Copper is generally used to make copper plates, and it is the currency that circulates in the market. If all of them are used to build underground palaces, the impact on business will definitely be huge.
"Didn't you ask where it has been repaired now? Now that the wall is finished, the only thing left is the inside."
The emperor put his hand on Linlin's stomach, "We are still young, we will not use it immediately after repairing it, let someone repair it more delicately. Don't be stingy with money, as I said, even if our sons and grandchildren are filial, we must It’s really a two hundred and five to neglect us, relying on the burial in the underground palace, you and I will not be wronged.”
Linlin nodded, "Don't worry, the stone and brick carvings on the inner walls have already been prepared, and I'm going to put more than 8000 palace lanterns inside, each one is different..."
"Put [-] lamps, big and small, to illuminate every corner and corner. When the dragon-breaking stone seals the underground palace, it will be illuminated by these palace lamps."
Linlin nodded, thinking in her heart that if she added some ceramics, the cost of using metal would be unaffordable. Anyway, there is no oxygen, and no kind of lamp can burn it.At the same time, I also feel that spending all this effort now might make it easier for tomb robbers in the future.
Couldn't help but sighed again.
The emperor thought about it, but sighed again. Sure enough, he was pregnant with a daughter, so he was sentimental.
After such a distraction, Linlin didn't have much resistance to the concubine's meeting with her family.Meeting with family members once a month can be regarded as a kind of caring.
As for Jia Yuanchun who came out again, Linlin chose to ignore it again.
As long as the emperor can control it, Linlin never regards Jia Yuanchun as her enemy.
Since the imperial concubine gave Jia Yingchun a hand, she must let others know of her hard work and accept her favor.
He sent people to present rewards to Jia Yuanchun every now and then. Compared with before, Jia Yuanchun no longer had that awkward performance.With the noble concubine following the lead, she used to worry about offending the emperor, although now she also has this concern, but she has let go of it to some extent.
Seeing that the late autumn is here, I asked the maids in the palace to make a pair of shoes for the imperial concubine. The small shoes were decorated with pearls, and the flowers and plants were embroidered with gold and silver threads. No matter how you look at it, it looks rich and luxurious.
After the news spread in the harem, Concubine Hu jokingly said when she came to pay her respects, "A few days ago, the third prince wanted a gold and silver purse, and the concubines searched all over their private houses, but they couldn't find a suitable one. .I didn’t expect the imperial concubine to be so rich..."
Linlin snorted, "If you have a good natal family, when your natal family greets you, just say that they will send you as much as you want."
After collecting it, he glanced at the two rows of concubines, "Isn't this slapping me in the face? Is it because I am too picky at ordinary times, and I don't want to use pearls for you or gold and silver threads for you? It's too luxurious after all. Housekeeping."
The concubines immediately stood up and pleaded guilty.
Jia Yuanchun sat at the front of the concubine, closest to Linlin, "What my sister said is that those shoes are just for Concubine He Gui's birthday, and I have never been so extravagant on weekdays. My sister will forgive me this time, next time Never dare again."
Linlin smiled all over her face, "Sister, don't say that. Since it's for a gift, you can give whatever you want. I don't care about it. But I also remind my sister, don't leave behind the two queen mothers." gone."
Aren't you rich?Give it away if you have money.One of the two empress dowagers has thorns all over his body, and the other looks soft, but if he has any grievances, his narrow-minded emperor's son will keep them in his heart and wait for a chance to explode. Maybe he will write them down in his little notebook now. You have several strokes.
Jia Yuanchun thought about this when he gave the gift, and the feeling of drinking poison to quench thirst is what it is now.
This pair of shoes was not given away for nothing, the Concubine Gui gave herself an idea.
Since you can't give birth to a child by yourself in a short time, let someone else give you one.
The example of Huang Guiren was just above, and the people from the Guitaifei faction also said that they can no longer use their own maids to bear children for themselves.
This trick made Huang Guiren useless, the emperor is already disgusted, the best way... Jia Yuanchun looked at a young woman with a big belly sitting in the crowd of nobles, and a smile slowly bloomed on the corner of her mouth.
Naturally, he raised a ready-made son.
When Princess Shouchun got engaged that day, Qilin brought his younger brothers to meet the son-in-law.
Except for Qilin who looked like a little boy, there were four carrot heads lined up high and low, Yan Consort didn't dare to neglect, and greeted each of them respectfully.
Among the four little radish bosses, the second prince is the first, and the Empress's son, Bai Ze, is named Cui Hao.Then there is the third prince from Concubine Hu, whose name is Cui Xian.The fourth prince is Cui Ming, born of Concubine Liu.The fifth prince is also born of the empress, named Cui Zhao.
Apart from these few who could run, there were two others who were held in the arms of the palace servants.
Cui Xi, the sixth prince born out of Concubine Hua, and Cui Xu, the seventh prince born out of Concubine Qian.
Especially the Seventh Prince, who was still in his infancy, Consort Yan had the same attitude towards this brother-in-law who was still breastfeeding.Except for the prince who is a little older, from the fifth prince down are all bullshit ages.
Although the sixth prince was not in his infancy, he still relied on the nanny for his daily walking. At this time, he was honestly being hugged by the nanny. The seventh prince didn't know anything, and fell asleep without giving his son-in-law a response.
Only the fifth prince can stand up and put on airs of brother-in-law in front of the son-in-law.
But children have limited knowledge after all, although they put on airs, besides those who are you called?Where do you live?In addition to these questions, Tong Yanwuji warned her brother-in-law, "If you dare to bully my sister, our brothers will stop you from hitting me once."
At this time, Li Guiren and Dong Guiren were still pregnant in the palace.
This nobleman Dong has nothing to do with Concubine Dong.
The strength of her natal family is not strong, and she is very low-key.
The old nuns around the imperial concubine swore to Jia Yuanchun that there was a prince in Dong Guiren's stomach.
It is often heard that many experienced elderly people can judge the sex of the fetus just by looking at the shape of the pregnant woman's belly.
This is nonsense and has no basis.
Because of the probability, the chances in Mongolia and China are relatively high. After all, there are only two genders in the world, and the belly of pregnant women can be classified into two types: round and pointed.
Jia Yuanchun believed in what these old nuns said, after all, they were elderly and well-informed.
Moreover, all the pulse records of these pregnant concubines are considered confidential before the birth of the child. Except for the emperor and empress who can look it up, even the pregnant concubines themselves don't know whether their stomachs are male or female.Unless Dong Guiren's family has no money, the money in his hands will not be spent on such a place unless he buys the imperial physician who diagnoses the pulse with a lot of money.
Jia Yuanchun, who was sitting on the Ganlu Hall, smiled slightly at Dong Guiren.
He thought in his heart, as long as he has a child, he would not be lonely and helpless every day. When he grows up, he can take care of Jia's family. The most important thing is that the emperor can look at him more often.
At noon, the concubines dispersed, and Concubine Liu, the biological mother of the fourth prince, lingered until the end. When everyone had left, she quietly said to Linlin, "Mother, the concubine looked at the concubine and looked at Guiren Dong." A few glances..."
Linlin pretended not to understand and asked him, "What does Concubine Liu want to say?"
Concubine Liu lowered her voice, "It's not that the concubine is busy, Mr. Dong lives in the concubine's palace, and the concubine is afraid that the concubine will stare at Mr. Dong."
"I have a lot of things in my hands. I don't have the time to stare at these things every day. I will leave this job to you, and I will leave the words here. Since Mr. Dong Gui is from your yard, you You have to be careful, if something happens, no one from you down will be left behind. Go back and explain it to those people in your yard. Don’t think it’s ok to just stand by and watch. When the time comes, the fire will burn you. I know it hurts."
Concubine Liu obediently agreed.
Linlin knew that Concubine Liu was a bit timid, and that the prince was afraid of taking responsibility, so she frightened him first.
After scaring her, give her a sweet date, "Let me tell you, since Mr. Dong Gui is in your yard, it's good for you to know some pulse cases recorded by the Tai Hospital, but you can't go out and talk nonsense.
There is a princess in Dong Guiren's belly. You only have the fourth prince and one son. Dong Guiren's status is low. When the time comes, the prince will go to study outside. You take the little princess by your side. First, you can educate her, and second, you You also have a companion, just like you have a son and a daughter.The princess in the future is mainly disobedient, you see how I beat her. "
Concubine Liu was already smiling, but there was still some insincere words on her mouth, "How can my concubine be...thank you for your kindness. It's not that the concubine is talking too much, many experienced old mothers said that Dong Guiren is a prince in his stomach."
"Don't talk nonsense there. How do you judge that the fetus is an undisclosed secret of the Tai Hospital. It has not made a single mistake in so many years. It is your credit to take good care of her when you go back."
Concubine Liu left happily.
In addition to her own business, Linlin has to worry about the two pregnant women recently, which is Princess Shouchun's Princess Mansion.
The two pregnant women can be handed over to the lords of the palaces to watch over, and the princess mansion needs to be careful in every way.
At any rate, the work was completed two days ago, and eunuchs were sent out to inspect and accept it, and they all said that everything was perfect.
In order to save face for Princess Shouchun, Linlin asked people to call the third prince, fourth prince, and fifth prince.
"Your eldest brother and second brother both have work to do. Now I will send you three brothers a job to visit your sister Shouchun's princess mansion outside the palace."
All three of them puffed out their small chests and agreed.
Going back the night before, the three brothers rummaged through boxes and cabinets together to find clothes. This was the first time for the three of them to leave the palace.
After tossing around most of the night before going to sleep, I got up early the next day and went to the queen first.
Linlin had already notified the rest of the palace the day before that the eunuchs in charge of acceptance had already been in place, and the guards accompanying her on the road had already been assigned.
You only need to send the three mascots over there properly, and then take them back properly.
Princess Shouchun came here specially to thank the three brothers.
The three of them proudly took three carriages and left the palace together.
Although there were three carriages, the three brothers were all squeezed into Zou Wu's carriage.
In terms of grandeur, the three of them have the same status, but the world thinks that the son of the concubine is more noble than the son of the concubine, the third and fourth princes are not as old as Qilin and Bai Ze, and their status is not as high as their brothers.This led to the fact that the third prince and the fourth prince belonged to the wave of obeying orders when the brothers got along.
Worried that Qilin and Bai Ze would develop a domineering character, and worried that Qilin and Bai Ze would bully their brothers, which reminded the emperor of some unpleasant childhoods.Every time Linlin gave her two sons instructions, she asked them to be humble in every way.If there is a dispute, it must be justifiable and justifiable, and it must not lose the reputation of bullying the younger brother.
So although the brothers don't see each other very often, every time they meet they are not tense.There is no bullying.
Qilin is a few years older than them, and has the demeanor of an elder brother everywhere, so when the brothers appear together, there is always a string of small tails behind their buttocks.
When the third and fourth princes got along with Zou Wu, they never thought of bullying Zou Wu with their age.
Because of this, the emperor even made himself silly a few times.
The three brothers quietly lay by the car window, opened the car curtain a crack, and slowly looked up and out.
I exclaimed under my voice, seeing everything on the street was fresh.
Soon they arrived at the princess mansion, and the officials from the inner mansion had already picked them up, and the carriage stopped only when it reached the mansion.
The third prince and the fourth prince got out of the car first, but the fifth prince walked in front with his little hands behind his back.
I saw this little thing pointing at everything, picking things up by the way.
"Oh, third brother and fourth brother, look at this door, isn't the door nail a little crooked?"
The third prince said, "Fifth brother is right."
The fourth prince stared at it for a while, "I don't think so at first glance, but the more I look at it, the more crooked I feel."
The officials of the inner palace were extremely helpless, "Your Highness, when the nails were put on the door, the old master measured them with a ruler, and flicked the ink line to confirm the position, and then started to nail the door nails."
The three turned their heads together, and it was the Fifth Prince who asked, "What is the ink line?"
"It's the ink thread in the ink fountain... just wait a moment, I'll get it now."
In the following half a day, the officials of the inner government led the master craftsmen who were the master craftsmen to show the three bumpkin princes all kinds of tools.
In their amazed eyes, they carved birds, windmills, and lights that could be dragged on four wheels.
They not only saw what carpentry is, but also what rattan weaving is.
I also harvested bamboo hats made of rattan, small baskets, and small cup sets.
With exclamation words like "wow", "great", "good-looking", these people began to instruct these master craftsmen to do other things.
"Make an abacus and I will take it back to my mother. I will make a lampstand and send it to my elder brother. I will make a snake and paint it green and send it to my second brother."
The master made a bitter face, "Your Highness Fifth, I can't finish it today, why don't I make an abacus for you first?"
Zou Wu is not an unreasonable baby, he just urges them to serve snacks and make them as soon as possible.When it’s ready, send it over quickly, and finally have requirements for the quality of the item, “That snake must be made similar.”
The third prince also reserved a lampstand, which was used to send off his mother and concubine.Let's make another four wooden Jiulianhuan, except for two for the prince and the second brother, the others are for Shouchun and Changchun.The windmill in his hand intends to go back to send Princess Fan Yang.
As for the others, sorry, he didn't remember it for the time being.
After hearing this, Zou Wu added a few more snakes to send his brothers and sisters, younger sisters and younger brothers.
The fourth prince is even more trouble-free, except for asking to weave a bamboo hat for his mother and concubine, all the brothers and sisters are like lamps that can be dragged away.
He didn't think of who to give to the others for the time being.
Seeing that the two younger brothers had thought of the other brothers and sisters, the third prince added a few more Nine Rings.For him, it's all about talking.
The three of them waited until the sun set before going back in the carriage, and they all earnestly asked them before getting into the carriage. "Do it quickly, and when it's done, you must send it to us."
As for returning to the palace, when the Empress asked how their three residences were doing.
The third prince "..."
The fourth prince "..."
Zou Wu "..."
Then Zou Wu rolled his eyes, "I only watched a little bit, mother, we will go out and watch tomorrow."
The eyes of the other two princes suddenly lit up, looking at Linlin with sparkling eyes.
It's a good thing that a son is smart, but now these little cleverness make people laugh and cry.
"Stay in the palace and study. When you are busy, someone has already read it inside and out."
From then on, the three children yearned for the world outside the palace.
The third prince and the fourth prince came here because they were old, so they more or less knew about monarchs and ministers, and secondly, their biological mothers kept nagging them in their ears, asking them to study more and improve themselves...
So the only one who dared to pester the emperor to play outside the palace was the fifth prince.
Because the emperor felt that the empress was having a hard time getting pregnant and had to worry about many things, Zou Wu jumped up and down every day to make people worry, and he would take him with him whenever he had a chance to leave the palace.
Jia Lian also met the fifth prince.
After seeing the fifth prince, Jia Lian murmured in his heart, "Why does this kid look a bit like someone from my aunt's family?"
The thought was only fleeting at the time.
The emperor was still a little wary of the monks who appeared a few days ago.
After meeting Jia Lian, I still wanted to ask something.
So after the meeting, the two exchanged pleasantries, the emperor pretended to be concerned about him again, "I also heard about your family. It is said that your cousin has woken up. How is it now?"
"It's all good, it's really weird. At that time, those two people said something outside that the population is unfavorable and the house is not safe... We heard it in the courtyard... It can be seen that there are some supernatural powers."
The emperor lowered his eyebrows and thought for a while, "Or let a female inner guard nephew call a maid to go to Rongguo Mansion to inquire first."
After making up your mind, put this matter in the back of your mind.The two started drinking.
After Jia Lian got home drunk, he saw Ping'er playing in the yard with his elder sister.
Jia Lian was a little angry when he didn't see Wang Xifeng again, "Where did your master go? Why don't you stay at home and run around after recovering from a serious illness?"
Ping'er stood up and said quickly, "You can't wrong her, the old lady sent someone to call her over to discuss things today."
"What to discuss?"
"Not long ago, didn't you say that you can go to the palace to visit your mother? Our old lady and wife can go. They are not at home. If there is anything at home, let the second grandma decide. So I called the second grandma to tell her."
Jia Lian thought that it would be difficult for a poor family, so what embarrassing things must be dealt with immediately?It's just that I am happy in my heart and want to show off everywhere.
Going back to the bedroom alone, I thought about it, "I don't know what kind of mood the old lady and the wife are when they find out that the imperial concubine is not favored."
In the early morning of the second day, the female relatives of each family gathered in front of the palace gate, and then slowly lined up to enter the palace according to the status of concubines, and first went to pay respects to the Empress Dowager.Then he went to worship the queen in front of the Ganlu Hall.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Jia family were at the front of everyone, and when they came to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother didn't give their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law a good look.
Going over the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, they called up the family members of the concubines who gave birth to children and said a few words.
After finishing speaking, he looked at the sky outside, "Go and meet the queen."
Because it was her first visit to the palace, Linlin met these women.This time Jia Min didn't come. Xin Yun at home was diagnosed with twins a few days ago, and Jia Min is busy these two days recuperating her daughter-in-law's body.Linlin also said, see you at other times if you want, don't care about this time, take care of Xin Yun's stomach first.
Linlin said a few polite words to the group of women, making them all retreat.
Because Jia's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are at the front, they can see Linlin when they come in and leave.
The weather was a bit cold, Linlin was wrapped in thick clothes and leaned on the seat. She was just to deal with these people, so she brought some carelessness.
Mrs. Wang envied this carelessness, if there is no wealth and power, who would not be trembling.
After arriving at Fengzao Palace, Mrs. Wang first took a look at the layout of the palace.Everywhere is beautiful and brilliant, and I am quite proud of it.
Because the meeting time is limited, and the palace people who sent the female relatives over stared at each other to prevent them from passing things to each other.
Jia Yuanchun took the time to make a long story short.
"The old lady and the wife went out to inquire about Dong Guiren's natal family in the palace. Our family will pay the bills. As long as the two families have a relationship, I will be able to hold her baby after two or three months."
The old lady felt a bit inappropriate when she heard it, "Who will raise the child depends on the queen mother and queen... Besides, the empress is young now, and the empress is two years older than you, so she can conceive. Don't worry too much."
Jia Yuanchun was going crazy.
There is nothing to hide from grandma and mother. "The emperor doesn't set foot in this palace once a year. Even if I am in a hurry, I can't wait for a child. There is no other way but to raise someone else."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Jia family looked at each other after hearing this, and Madam Wang's tears were about to drip down. She felt like a knife was twisting her heart. After all, this daughter was her own. Now that life is like this, why doesn't she feel distressed.
"Your Majesty, don't worry." The old lady thought about it for a long time, "My Majesty means to let us form a good family with the Dong family, and when the time comes, let Dong Guiren go to your Majesty, and the two of them will raise a family together. child?"
Leaving aside the question of whether it can be matured, this method has a relatively large room for maneuverability.
The old lady thought about it for a moment, "It's not enough to hand it over under the festival. They have to be with their family and help each other in the same boat, so their family is willing to separate the children."
There are too many sacrifices in it, and don't act too hastily, don't leave any traces in the middle.
After hearing this, Jia Yuanchun admired the old grandmother very much.This idea was first conceived by the noble concubine.One downside is that it takes too long.
It is possible that when this idea succeeds, the prince will already be five or six years old, and he has already forgotten his own mother, so it is very likely that he will not be able to raise him well by then.
If it is not well-raised, then what you did before is not a waste of water from a bamboo basket?
Moreover, Jia Yuanchun has great ambitions. She wants to raise the prince from his infancy. When the time comes, it will be better if it is not the mother and the child but the mother and the child.
If Dong Guiren is still alive, how to raise the children is not up to him at all.
"Old lady... I want Dong Guiren to entrust the orphan to me at the end of his life, and entrust the child to me. Is there anything the old lady can do?"
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other again. Mrs. Wang can also figure out what Jia Yuanchun can figure out.The mother and daughter not only looked at the old lady eagerly, hoping that the old lady could come up with an idea.
Even though the old lady was well-informed, she was too frightened by the imperial concubine's decision to speak on the spot.
The atmosphere became strangely quiet, and the Queen's eyeliner could only watch from a distance, not knowing what they were talking about.
The old lady weighed the gains and losses in a very short time.
"Your Majesty... Hasn't Your Majesty already made up her mind?"
Where there is an idea, there is a solution. The old lady does not believe that a woman who has lived in the deep palace for so many years, the plan to seize her child made with trepidation is full of loopholes.
Jia Yuanchun shook his head, "Although we can succeed, it will take the hands of the Concubine Gui. Using his hands, isn't it the same as giving away the handle of my palace?"
If the Concubine Gui asks her to do something in the future, no matter whether she agrees or not, as long as this handle is in the hands of others, she will not have a good life.
"But in a short while... how can we arrange someone to help the empress before Dong Guiren gives birth?"
Jia Yuanchun smiled all over his face, "In the past, there was really no way, and it will be more difficult to arrange manpower in the future. I just ask the old lady to come up with an idea, how can we use the manpower of the noble concubine and let her not know that we did it."
Upon hearing this, the old lady said, "It turns out that this is the plan of the empress... Mrs. Rong Chen went back and thought about it."
After the old lady and Mrs. Wang left, Jia Yuanchun only felt that he was in a particularly good mood.
If you want to bring the prince to your own palace, it is not enough to rely on the manpower in the palace.
The emperor has always disliked the right and wrong in the palace, and the Empress Dowager is just another display.The real decision-maker in this palace is the Empress Empress who lives in Ganlu Hall.
Jia Yuanchun stood up, walked to the gate of the palace and looked into the distance.
The foundation of Ganlu Hall is very high. As a group of palaces occupied by the master of the harem, it includes various palaces for daily rest, reception of wives, banquets and entertainment.
Every palace can look up and see the brilliant lights of the place.
The Temple of Ganlu is also lit during the day, and at night, it is as brilliant as day, with bright lights everywhere.Once the emperor arrived, all the corridors were replaced with red lights, and it was red from a distance.
Looking at the lights of Ganlu Hall, Jia Yuanchun was still thinking, "How can I make the queen ignore other things? He can smoothly hug the prince to his side."
What does the queen care about most?
Of course it's her three bully-like children.
Thinking of this, she told herself, "Don't worry, don't worry, there are still a few months."
The old lady brought Mrs. Wang back home, and the family gathered together in Rongqingtang.
With a tired face on her face, the old lady forced herself to say to these people, "Everything is fine, Madam, but Baoyu is the only one who cares about Baoyu. Let us discipline him well."
Jia Zheng stood and listened, then turned his head and saw Jia Baoyu, "You beast, you will have to go to school in a few days. Getting a good grade in the exam as soon as possible will make your mother feel at ease."
Jia Baoyu never dared to breathe in front of his father, so at this time, he could only obediently agree.
If it were normal, the old lady would have to scold her son to protect her grandson.But today she had a lot of things in her heart, and she forced herself to be happy, and when the sons and daughters-in-law retired, Jia Lian was left alone.
Jia Lian's heart was pounding, he didn't know what he had done to be caught by the old lady, why no one would stay, but himself.
The old lady thought for a while, and then gave Jia Lian a task, "Go out these few days and see if you can meet Dong Guiren's brother. To make it so that you don't leave any traces, what did you do? What did you say? Hey, what have you been talking about, just come back and tell me."
After finishing talking, ask Yuanyang to bring out a tray of silver, "I'll give you these first, and come to me when you don't have enough. You have always been the most astute person in our family, so I'll tell you, as long as the Dong family believes in us Just treat them well with all your heart.”
At this time, Jia Lian already felt that the money was biting his hand, but he still put on a greedy look on his face, "Don't worry, old lady, grandson promises that this matter will be handled properly for you. It's just that the old lady keeps the money. Well, the grandson still has some."
The old lady looked at it kindly
This kind of thing still depends on fate. When the imperial doctors of the imperial hospital came to check their pulse, Linlin asked them, and there was only one baby in this pregnancy.
Time passed quickly, and it was autumn in a blink of an eye. Linlin's birthday was in autumn. Because the husband and wife had discussed about Linlin's birth some time ago, Linlin couldn't avoid thinking about her short-lived sister.
Now that I am a mother, I can somewhat understand the grief of losing a child, but I still can't understand Jia Min's anger back then.It's just that many years have passed, and in retrospect, Fengguo Wuhen still vaguely remembers that smart sister back then.
A few days before her birthday, Linlin called Qilin to her.
"I didn't think about it so much before, but now that I'm older, I think too much. I always feel that your aunt is alone in the ground... You can burn a piece of paper for your aunt when you are free these two days. She died young and was not allowed to be buried in the ancestral grave. At first, she just found a place with good geomantic omen in a small village near the capital and buried her quietly. You quietly burn the paper for me and place some sacrifices. Celebrate her birthday."
Qilin agreed.
Lin Ruhai and Jia Min's eldest daughter who passed away was buried on the Lin family's Zhuangzi, and Qilin took Lin Jiao to the Zhuangzi to pay homage quietly.
For Linlin, this year's birthday was not only boring, but also a bit aggrieved.
On his birthday, the Supreme Emperor sent someone to reward him with some things from the West Garden.This kind of thing happens every year. It belongs to the good face of you, me, everyone. In the past, the eunuchs put down their things and took the rewards and left. This year, they took out a verbal order from the Supreme Emperor.
After removing some tongue-in-cheek modifiers, the central idea is that the Supreme Emperor thought of his concubines leaving home and missing his parents. Although he had visited relatives at the beginning, he could not enjoy family happiness after all.So it was decided to allow the relatives of the concubine to enter the palace on the first day of each month in the future, "to share the family relationship."
The eunuch who came to deliver the order also whispered to Linlin privately, "...the imperial concubine in the palace and the imperial concubine have not been in contact for a long time, and the imperial concubine found out that she was grounded, so she asked the emperor for such a decree, The Supreme Emperor also said, 'It's all over, just shut her up for a few months to vent her anger, and keep her in jail for the rest of her life.' He wants you to release the noble concubine."
Linlin thought that she had encountered such a disgusting thing in her good life, besides being angry and angry, she also felt a little dispirited.
"Please go back and report to the Supreme Emperor on behalf of the palace, 'Father and emperor's orders must be obeyed. I heard that the five princesses have not been in good health recently, and no one is serving the noble concubine. Why don't we send our noble concubine there? After serving the noble concubine Let her come back again. This is also a piece of filial piety as a minister, please promise my father.'”
The old lady nodded after listening, repeated it again and went back.
It didn't take long to send a message again, naturally not to let the noble concubine go to serve in the West Garden, and said, "...the descendants are the most important."
When the emperor came back at night, he saw Linlin sitting in the hall with a straight face and knew he was angry.
I just didn't understand, "Usually, you always like to obey the will of that old thing, why do you take it seriously today? The imperial doctor told me that the old thing didn't live for a few years, and it passed after a little bit of patience. In previous years You are the one who persuaded me to endure, are you... not planning to endure anymore?"
"I just thought about how the two of them are still alive and well."
The emperor smiled indifferently, "That's because you didn't see their veins. Do you know why Father cares so much about that old hag now? The old hag's eyes were broken a while ago, and her vision is blurry." Blurred, let’s say it’s presbyopia, but it’s different from presbyopia. Although I can feel the light now, but the longer the time drags on, the more completely the eyes will be damaged.”
After hearing this, Linlin felt that this should be a complication of high blood sugar, but this complication broke out violently and seriously.
"Why didn't anyone tell me?"
"The Supreme Emperor asked people to shut up. That old hag has been domineering in the palace for so many years and has made many enemies. I think the reason why the Supreme Emperor can't wait to go to Jiangnan is that Jiangnan is at least reassuring for him, and it is the hometown of the noble concubine. ...It's just that the Eastern Empress Dowager has been unable to understand for so many years that the couple are husband and wife, and the Eastern Empress Dowager is an outsider."
Linlin sighed a little bit, thinking of the current situation, the two old people didn't take good care of them, and lived the last few years well, what are they tossing around all day.
The emperor took off his outer coat, "Raise a son to guard against old age, the five kings can't count on it, and the other sons, the Supreme Emperor, don't want to count on it at all, so it's very miserable now. You said that he just casually treats me outside like this If the brothers are better, they will rush to serve him, and I will not make things difficult for him for the sake of reputation, such a poor man must have something to hate."
After she finished speaking, she sighed, wondering if she was thinking of herself, so she said to Linlin, "I dare not relax in the slightest when raising these sons. If an unfilial son is raised, he will treat us with high eyebrows and low eyes in his later years." Then it will be too late to regret.”
"What are you thinking? Our children won't be like this." Linlin only felt that his thoughts were a bit untenable.
The emperor sat there, thinking a lot while the lights were on and off, "I have never killed that old thing, and I have to make him bear him everywhere, not all for the sake of the world to see. I am also afraid of our son's death." Follow me, if one day you kill me and disrespect you... the retribution in this world."
Linlin quickly put her arms around his neck, "You think too much, the sons are filial, no one is disrespectful to us, as parents, how can we let the sons turn upside down."
"Yes, you can't let them turn the sky, keep an eye on them."
By the way, I changed the subject, "How are you getting people to build the imperial mausoleum?"
Linlin is the one who pays, so she knows the progress of the project like the back of her hand.
"You used to say that copper was used to make the wall. Copper was difficult to get together, so I made stones, filled the gaps with stones, and poured copper water to form a seamless piece. The entire wall was nine feet thick, and nine feet thick stones were used. The strips are pasted on the copper wall, which is the second layer. Then use bricks and quicksand to make the third layer. After the third layer is the fourth layer, which is still stone strips. The fifth layer is still pouring stones with copper water. Each layer It is 2 feet thick and has 3 layers in total. Does it match your status as the Ninety-Five Supreme?"
The emperor laughed, "The quicksand is wonderful. Those tomb robbers would never have imagined that quicksand is waiting for them after they have worked so hard to break through the two floors. And after the quicksand moves, it does not affect the two floors inside. We are still safe and sound." Yes. This idea is very clever, I know you came up with it."
Linlin smiled slightly, thinking that things like stones don't need to cost too much money.Copper is generally used to make copper plates, and it is the currency that circulates in the market. If all of them are used to build underground palaces, the impact on business will definitely be huge.
"Didn't you ask where it has been repaired now? Now that the wall is finished, the only thing left is the inside."
The emperor put his hand on Linlin's stomach, "We are still young, we will not use it immediately after repairing it, let someone repair it more delicately. Don't be stingy with money, as I said, even if our sons and grandchildren are filial, we must It’s really a two hundred and five to neglect us, relying on the burial in the underground palace, you and I will not be wronged.”
Linlin nodded, "Don't worry, the stone and brick carvings on the inner walls have already been prepared, and I'm going to put more than 8000 palace lanterns inside, each one is different..."
"Put [-] lamps, big and small, to illuminate every corner and corner. When the dragon-breaking stone seals the underground palace, it will be illuminated by these palace lamps."
Linlin nodded, thinking in her heart that if she added some ceramics, the cost of using metal would be unaffordable. Anyway, there is no oxygen, and no kind of lamp can burn it.At the same time, I also feel that spending all this effort now might make it easier for tomb robbers in the future.
Couldn't help but sighed again.
The emperor thought about it, but sighed again. Sure enough, he was pregnant with a daughter, so he was sentimental.
After such a distraction, Linlin didn't have much resistance to the concubine's meeting with her family.Meeting with family members once a month can be regarded as a kind of caring.
As for Jia Yuanchun who came out again, Linlin chose to ignore it again.
As long as the emperor can control it, Linlin never regards Jia Yuanchun as her enemy.
Since the imperial concubine gave Jia Yingchun a hand, she must let others know of her hard work and accept her favor.
He sent people to present rewards to Jia Yuanchun every now and then. Compared with before, Jia Yuanchun no longer had that awkward performance.With the noble concubine following the lead, she used to worry about offending the emperor, although now she also has this concern, but she has let go of it to some extent.
Seeing that the late autumn is here, I asked the maids in the palace to make a pair of shoes for the imperial concubine. The small shoes were decorated with pearls, and the flowers and plants were embroidered with gold and silver threads. No matter how you look at it, it looks rich and luxurious.
After the news spread in the harem, Concubine Hu jokingly said when she came to pay her respects, "A few days ago, the third prince wanted a gold and silver purse, and the concubines searched all over their private houses, but they couldn't find a suitable one. .I didn’t expect the imperial concubine to be so rich..."
Linlin snorted, "If you have a good natal family, when your natal family greets you, just say that they will send you as much as you want."
After collecting it, he glanced at the two rows of concubines, "Isn't this slapping me in the face? Is it because I am too picky at ordinary times, and I don't want to use pearls for you or gold and silver threads for you? It's too luxurious after all. Housekeeping."
The concubines immediately stood up and pleaded guilty.
Jia Yuanchun sat at the front of the concubine, closest to Linlin, "What my sister said is that those shoes are just for Concubine He Gui's birthday, and I have never been so extravagant on weekdays. My sister will forgive me this time, next time Never dare again."
Linlin smiled all over her face, "Sister, don't say that. Since it's for a gift, you can give whatever you want. I don't care about it. But I also remind my sister, don't leave behind the two queen mothers." gone."
Aren't you rich?Give it away if you have money.One of the two empress dowagers has thorns all over his body, and the other looks soft, but if he has any grievances, his narrow-minded emperor's son will keep them in his heart and wait for a chance to explode. Maybe he will write them down in his little notebook now. You have several strokes.
Jia Yuanchun thought about this when he gave the gift, and the feeling of drinking poison to quench thirst is what it is now.
This pair of shoes was not given away for nothing, the Concubine Gui gave herself an idea.
Since you can't give birth to a child by yourself in a short time, let someone else give you one.
The example of Huang Guiren was just above, and the people from the Guitaifei faction also said that they can no longer use their own maids to bear children for themselves.
This trick made Huang Guiren useless, the emperor is already disgusted, the best way... Jia Yuanchun looked at a young woman with a big belly sitting in the crowd of nobles, and a smile slowly bloomed on the corner of her mouth.
Naturally, he raised a ready-made son.
When Princess Shouchun got engaged that day, Qilin brought his younger brothers to meet the son-in-law.
Except for Qilin who looked like a little boy, there were four carrot heads lined up high and low, Yan Consort didn't dare to neglect, and greeted each of them respectfully.
Among the four little radish bosses, the second prince is the first, and the Empress's son, Bai Ze, is named Cui Hao.Then there is the third prince from Concubine Hu, whose name is Cui Xian.The fourth prince is Cui Ming, born of Concubine Liu.The fifth prince is also born of the empress, named Cui Zhao.
Apart from these few who could run, there were two others who were held in the arms of the palace servants.
Cui Xi, the sixth prince born out of Concubine Hua, and Cui Xu, the seventh prince born out of Concubine Qian.
Especially the Seventh Prince, who was still in his infancy, Consort Yan had the same attitude towards this brother-in-law who was still breastfeeding.Except for the prince who is a little older, from the fifth prince down are all bullshit ages.
Although the sixth prince was not in his infancy, he still relied on the nanny for his daily walking. At this time, he was honestly being hugged by the nanny. The seventh prince didn't know anything, and fell asleep without giving his son-in-law a response.
Only the fifth prince can stand up and put on airs of brother-in-law in front of the son-in-law.
But children have limited knowledge after all, although they put on airs, besides those who are you called?Where do you live?In addition to these questions, Tong Yanwuji warned her brother-in-law, "If you dare to bully my sister, our brothers will stop you from hitting me once."
At this time, Li Guiren and Dong Guiren were still pregnant in the palace.
This nobleman Dong has nothing to do with Concubine Dong.
The strength of her natal family is not strong, and she is very low-key.
The old nuns around the imperial concubine swore to Jia Yuanchun that there was a prince in Dong Guiren's stomach.
It is often heard that many experienced elderly people can judge the sex of the fetus just by looking at the shape of the pregnant woman's belly.
This is nonsense and has no basis.
Because of the probability, the chances in Mongolia and China are relatively high. After all, there are only two genders in the world, and the belly of pregnant women can be classified into two types: round and pointed.
Jia Yuanchun believed in what these old nuns said, after all, they were elderly and well-informed.
Moreover, all the pulse records of these pregnant concubines are considered confidential before the birth of the child. Except for the emperor and empress who can look it up, even the pregnant concubines themselves don't know whether their stomachs are male or female.Unless Dong Guiren's family has no money, the money in his hands will not be spent on such a place unless he buys the imperial physician who diagnoses the pulse with a lot of money.
Jia Yuanchun, who was sitting on the Ganlu Hall, smiled slightly at Dong Guiren.
He thought in his heart, as long as he has a child, he would not be lonely and helpless every day. When he grows up, he can take care of Jia's family. The most important thing is that the emperor can look at him more often.
At noon, the concubines dispersed, and Concubine Liu, the biological mother of the fourth prince, lingered until the end. When everyone had left, she quietly said to Linlin, "Mother, the concubine looked at the concubine and looked at Guiren Dong." A few glances..."
Linlin pretended not to understand and asked him, "What does Concubine Liu want to say?"
Concubine Liu lowered her voice, "It's not that the concubine is busy, Mr. Dong lives in the concubine's palace, and the concubine is afraid that the concubine will stare at Mr. Dong."
"I have a lot of things in my hands. I don't have the time to stare at these things every day. I will leave this job to you, and I will leave the words here. Since Mr. Dong Gui is from your yard, you You have to be careful, if something happens, no one from you down will be left behind. Go back and explain it to those people in your yard. Don’t think it’s ok to just stand by and watch. When the time comes, the fire will burn you. I know it hurts."
Concubine Liu obediently agreed.
Linlin knew that Concubine Liu was a bit timid, and that the prince was afraid of taking responsibility, so she frightened him first.
After scaring her, give her a sweet date, "Let me tell you, since Mr. Dong Gui is in your yard, it's good for you to know some pulse cases recorded by the Tai Hospital, but you can't go out and talk nonsense.
There is a princess in Dong Guiren's belly. You only have the fourth prince and one son. Dong Guiren's status is low. When the time comes, the prince will go to study outside. You take the little princess by your side. First, you can educate her, and second, you You also have a companion, just like you have a son and a daughter.The princess in the future is mainly disobedient, you see how I beat her. "
Concubine Liu was already smiling, but there was still some insincere words on her mouth, "How can my concubine be...thank you for your kindness. It's not that the concubine is talking too much, many experienced old mothers said that Dong Guiren is a prince in his stomach."
"Don't talk nonsense there. How do you judge that the fetus is an undisclosed secret of the Tai Hospital. It has not made a single mistake in so many years. It is your credit to take good care of her when you go back."
Concubine Liu left happily.
In addition to her own business, Linlin has to worry about the two pregnant women recently, which is Princess Shouchun's Princess Mansion.
The two pregnant women can be handed over to the lords of the palaces to watch over, and the princess mansion needs to be careful in every way.
At any rate, the work was completed two days ago, and eunuchs were sent out to inspect and accept it, and they all said that everything was perfect.
In order to save face for Princess Shouchun, Linlin asked people to call the third prince, fourth prince, and fifth prince.
"Your eldest brother and second brother both have work to do. Now I will send you three brothers a job to visit your sister Shouchun's princess mansion outside the palace."
All three of them puffed out their small chests and agreed.
Going back the night before, the three brothers rummaged through boxes and cabinets together to find clothes. This was the first time for the three of them to leave the palace.
After tossing around most of the night before going to sleep, I got up early the next day and went to the queen first.
Linlin had already notified the rest of the palace the day before that the eunuchs in charge of acceptance had already been in place, and the guards accompanying her on the road had already been assigned.
You only need to send the three mascots over there properly, and then take them back properly.
Princess Shouchun came here specially to thank the three brothers.
The three of them proudly took three carriages and left the palace together.
Although there were three carriages, the three brothers were all squeezed into Zou Wu's carriage.
In terms of grandeur, the three of them have the same status, but the world thinks that the son of the concubine is more noble than the son of the concubine, the third and fourth princes are not as old as Qilin and Bai Ze, and their status is not as high as their brothers.This led to the fact that the third prince and the fourth prince belonged to the wave of obeying orders when the brothers got along.
Worried that Qilin and Bai Ze would develop a domineering character, and worried that Qilin and Bai Ze would bully their brothers, which reminded the emperor of some unpleasant childhoods.Every time Linlin gave her two sons instructions, she asked them to be humble in every way.If there is a dispute, it must be justifiable and justifiable, and it must not lose the reputation of bullying the younger brother.
So although the brothers don't see each other very often, every time they meet they are not tense.There is no bullying.
Qilin is a few years older than them, and has the demeanor of an elder brother everywhere, so when the brothers appear together, there is always a string of small tails behind their buttocks.
When the third and fourth princes got along with Zou Wu, they never thought of bullying Zou Wu with their age.
Because of this, the emperor even made himself silly a few times.
The three brothers quietly lay by the car window, opened the car curtain a crack, and slowly looked up and out.
I exclaimed under my voice, seeing everything on the street was fresh.
Soon they arrived at the princess mansion, and the officials from the inner mansion had already picked them up, and the carriage stopped only when it reached the mansion.
The third prince and the fourth prince got out of the car first, but the fifth prince walked in front with his little hands behind his back.
I saw this little thing pointing at everything, picking things up by the way.
"Oh, third brother and fourth brother, look at this door, isn't the door nail a little crooked?"
The third prince said, "Fifth brother is right."
The fourth prince stared at it for a while, "I don't think so at first glance, but the more I look at it, the more crooked I feel."
The officials of the inner palace were extremely helpless, "Your Highness, when the nails were put on the door, the old master measured them with a ruler, and flicked the ink line to confirm the position, and then started to nail the door nails."
The three turned their heads together, and it was the Fifth Prince who asked, "What is the ink line?"
"It's the ink thread in the ink fountain... just wait a moment, I'll get it now."
In the following half a day, the officials of the inner government led the master craftsmen who were the master craftsmen to show the three bumpkin princes all kinds of tools.
In their amazed eyes, they carved birds, windmills, and lights that could be dragged on four wheels.
They not only saw what carpentry is, but also what rattan weaving is.
I also harvested bamboo hats made of rattan, small baskets, and small cup sets.
With exclamation words like "wow", "great", "good-looking", these people began to instruct these master craftsmen to do other things.
"Make an abacus and I will take it back to my mother. I will make a lampstand and send it to my elder brother. I will make a snake and paint it green and send it to my second brother."
The master made a bitter face, "Your Highness Fifth, I can't finish it today, why don't I make an abacus for you first?"
Zou Wu is not an unreasonable baby, he just urges them to serve snacks and make them as soon as possible.When it’s ready, send it over quickly, and finally have requirements for the quality of the item, “That snake must be made similar.”
The third prince also reserved a lampstand, which was used to send off his mother and concubine.Let's make another four wooden Jiulianhuan, except for two for the prince and the second brother, the others are for Shouchun and Changchun.The windmill in his hand intends to go back to send Princess Fan Yang.
As for the others, sorry, he didn't remember it for the time being.
After hearing this, Zou Wu added a few more snakes to send his brothers and sisters, younger sisters and younger brothers.
The fourth prince is even more trouble-free, except for asking to weave a bamboo hat for his mother and concubine, all the brothers and sisters are like lamps that can be dragged away.
He didn't think of who to give to the others for the time being.
Seeing that the two younger brothers had thought of the other brothers and sisters, the third prince added a few more Nine Rings.For him, it's all about talking.
The three of them waited until the sun set before going back in the carriage, and they all earnestly asked them before getting into the carriage. "Do it quickly, and when it's done, you must send it to us."
As for returning to the palace, when the Empress asked how their three residences were doing.
The third prince "..."
The fourth prince "..."
Zou Wu "..."
Then Zou Wu rolled his eyes, "I only watched a little bit, mother, we will go out and watch tomorrow."
The eyes of the other two princes suddenly lit up, looking at Linlin with sparkling eyes.
It's a good thing that a son is smart, but now these little cleverness make people laugh and cry.
"Stay in the palace and study. When you are busy, someone has already read it inside and out."
From then on, the three children yearned for the world outside the palace.
The third prince and the fourth prince came here because they were old, so they more or less knew about monarchs and ministers, and secondly, their biological mothers kept nagging them in their ears, asking them to study more and improve themselves...
So the only one who dared to pester the emperor to play outside the palace was the fifth prince.
Because the emperor felt that the empress was having a hard time getting pregnant and had to worry about many things, Zou Wu jumped up and down every day to make people worry, and he would take him with him whenever he had a chance to leave the palace.
Jia Lian also met the fifth prince.
After seeing the fifth prince, Jia Lian murmured in his heart, "Why does this kid look a bit like someone from my aunt's family?"
The thought was only fleeting at the time.
The emperor was still a little wary of the monks who appeared a few days ago.
After meeting Jia Lian, I still wanted to ask something.
So after the meeting, the two exchanged pleasantries, the emperor pretended to be concerned about him again, "I also heard about your family. It is said that your cousin has woken up. How is it now?"
"It's all good, it's really weird. At that time, those two people said something outside that the population is unfavorable and the house is not safe... We heard it in the courtyard... It can be seen that there are some supernatural powers."
The emperor lowered his eyebrows and thought for a while, "Or let a female inner guard nephew call a maid to go to Rongguo Mansion to inquire first."
After making up your mind, put this matter in the back of your mind.The two started drinking.
After Jia Lian got home drunk, he saw Ping'er playing in the yard with his elder sister.
Jia Lian was a little angry when he didn't see Wang Xifeng again, "Where did your master go? Why don't you stay at home and run around after recovering from a serious illness?"
Ping'er stood up and said quickly, "You can't wrong her, the old lady sent someone to call her over to discuss things today."
"What to discuss?"
"Not long ago, didn't you say that you can go to the palace to visit your mother? Our old lady and wife can go. They are not at home. If there is anything at home, let the second grandma decide. So I called the second grandma to tell her."
Jia Lian thought that it would be difficult for a poor family, so what embarrassing things must be dealt with immediately?It's just that I am happy in my heart and want to show off everywhere.
Going back to the bedroom alone, I thought about it, "I don't know what kind of mood the old lady and the wife are when they find out that the imperial concubine is not favored."
In the early morning of the second day, the female relatives of each family gathered in front of the palace gate, and then slowly lined up to enter the palace according to the status of concubines, and first went to pay respects to the Empress Dowager.Then he went to worship the queen in front of the Ganlu Hall.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Jia family were at the front of everyone, and when they came to the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother didn't give their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law a good look.
Going over the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, they called up the family members of the concubines who gave birth to children and said a few words.
After finishing speaking, he looked at the sky outside, "Go and meet the queen."
Because it was her first visit to the palace, Linlin met these women.This time Jia Min didn't come. Xin Yun at home was diagnosed with twins a few days ago, and Jia Min is busy these two days recuperating her daughter-in-law's body.Linlin also said, see you at other times if you want, don't care about this time, take care of Xin Yun's stomach first.
Linlin said a few polite words to the group of women, making them all retreat.
Because Jia's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are at the front, they can see Linlin when they come in and leave.
The weather was a bit cold, Linlin was wrapped in thick clothes and leaned on the seat. She was just to deal with these people, so she brought some carelessness.
Mrs. Wang envied this carelessness, if there is no wealth and power, who would not be trembling.
After arriving at Fengzao Palace, Mrs. Wang first took a look at the layout of the palace.Everywhere is beautiful and brilliant, and I am quite proud of it.
Because the meeting time is limited, and the palace people who sent the female relatives over stared at each other to prevent them from passing things to each other.
Jia Yuanchun took the time to make a long story short.
"The old lady and the wife went out to inquire about Dong Guiren's natal family in the palace. Our family will pay the bills. As long as the two families have a relationship, I will be able to hold her baby after two or three months."
The old lady felt a bit inappropriate when she heard it, "Who will raise the child depends on the queen mother and queen... Besides, the empress is young now, and the empress is two years older than you, so she can conceive. Don't worry too much."
Jia Yuanchun was going crazy.
There is nothing to hide from grandma and mother. "The emperor doesn't set foot in this palace once a year. Even if I am in a hurry, I can't wait for a child. There is no other way but to raise someone else."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Jia family looked at each other after hearing this, and Madam Wang's tears were about to drip down. She felt like a knife was twisting her heart. After all, this daughter was her own. Now that life is like this, why doesn't she feel distressed.
"Your Majesty, don't worry." The old lady thought about it for a long time, "My Majesty means to let us form a good family with the Dong family, and when the time comes, let Dong Guiren go to your Majesty, and the two of them will raise a family together. child?"
Leaving aside the question of whether it can be matured, this method has a relatively large room for maneuverability.
The old lady thought about it for a moment, "It's not enough to hand it over under the festival. They have to be with their family and help each other in the same boat, so their family is willing to separate the children."
There are too many sacrifices in it, and don't act too hastily, don't leave any traces in the middle.
After hearing this, Jia Yuanchun admired the old grandmother very much.This idea was first conceived by the noble concubine.One downside is that it takes too long.
It is possible that when this idea succeeds, the prince will already be five or six years old, and he has already forgotten his own mother, so it is very likely that he will not be able to raise him well by then.
If it is not well-raised, then what you did before is not a waste of water from a bamboo basket?
Moreover, Jia Yuanchun has great ambitions. She wants to raise the prince from his infancy. When the time comes, it will be better if it is not the mother and the child but the mother and the child.
If Dong Guiren is still alive, how to raise the children is not up to him at all.
"Old lady... I want Dong Guiren to entrust the orphan to me at the end of his life, and entrust the child to me. Is there anything the old lady can do?"
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other again. Mrs. Wang can also figure out what Jia Yuanchun can figure out.The mother and daughter not only looked at the old lady eagerly, hoping that the old lady could come up with an idea.
Even though the old lady was well-informed, she was too frightened by the imperial concubine's decision to speak on the spot.
The atmosphere became strangely quiet, and the Queen's eyeliner could only watch from a distance, not knowing what they were talking about.
The old lady weighed the gains and losses in a very short time.
"Your Majesty... Hasn't Your Majesty already made up her mind?"
Where there is an idea, there is a solution. The old lady does not believe that a woman who has lived in the deep palace for so many years, the plan to seize her child made with trepidation is full of loopholes.
Jia Yuanchun shook his head, "Although we can succeed, it will take the hands of the Concubine Gui. Using his hands, isn't it the same as giving away the handle of my palace?"
If the Concubine Gui asks her to do something in the future, no matter whether she agrees or not, as long as this handle is in the hands of others, she will not have a good life.
"But in a short while... how can we arrange someone to help the empress before Dong Guiren gives birth?"
Jia Yuanchun smiled all over his face, "In the past, there was really no way, and it will be more difficult to arrange manpower in the future. I just ask the old lady to come up with an idea, how can we use the manpower of the noble concubine and let her not know that we did it."
Upon hearing this, the old lady said, "It turns out that this is the plan of the empress... Mrs. Rong Chen went back and thought about it."
After the old lady and Mrs. Wang left, Jia Yuanchun only felt that he was in a particularly good mood.
If you want to bring the prince to your own palace, it is not enough to rely on the manpower in the palace.
The emperor has always disliked the right and wrong in the palace, and the Empress Dowager is just another display.The real decision-maker in this palace is the Empress Empress who lives in Ganlu Hall.
Jia Yuanchun stood up, walked to the gate of the palace and looked into the distance.
The foundation of Ganlu Hall is very high. As a group of palaces occupied by the master of the harem, it includes various palaces for daily rest, reception of wives, banquets and entertainment.
Every palace can look up and see the brilliant lights of the place.
The Temple of Ganlu is also lit during the day, and at night, it is as brilliant as day, with bright lights everywhere.Once the emperor arrived, all the corridors were replaced with red lights, and it was red from a distance.
Looking at the lights of Ganlu Hall, Jia Yuanchun was still thinking, "How can I make the queen ignore other things? He can smoothly hug the prince to his side."
What does the queen care about most?
Of course it's her three bully-like children.
Thinking of this, she told herself, "Don't worry, don't worry, there are still a few months."
The old lady brought Mrs. Wang back home, and the family gathered together in Rongqingtang.
With a tired face on her face, the old lady forced herself to say to these people, "Everything is fine, Madam, but Baoyu is the only one who cares about Baoyu. Let us discipline him well."
Jia Zheng stood and listened, then turned his head and saw Jia Baoyu, "You beast, you will have to go to school in a few days. Getting a good grade in the exam as soon as possible will make your mother feel at ease."
Jia Baoyu never dared to breathe in front of his father, so at this time, he could only obediently agree.
If it were normal, the old lady would have to scold her son to protect her grandson.But today she had a lot of things in her heart, and she forced herself to be happy, and when the sons and daughters-in-law retired, Jia Lian was left alone.
Jia Lian's heart was pounding, he didn't know what he had done to be caught by the old lady, why no one would stay, but himself.
The old lady thought for a while, and then gave Jia Lian a task, "Go out these few days and see if you can meet Dong Guiren's brother. To make it so that you don't leave any traces, what did you do? What did you say? Hey, what have you been talking about, just come back and tell me."
After finishing talking, ask Yuanyang to bring out a tray of silver, "I'll give you these first, and come to me when you don't have enough. You have always been the most astute person in our family, so I'll tell you, as long as the Dong family believes in us Just treat them well with all your heart.”
At this time, Jia Lian already felt that the money was biting his hand, but he still put on a greedy look on his face, "Don't worry, old lady, grandson promises that this matter will be handled properly for you. It's just that the old lady keeps the money. Well, the grandson still has some."
The old lady looked at it kindly
