The Qinghe County Lord of the Red Chamber
Chapter 43
The Empress Dowager Shang has been with the Supreme Emperor for many years and knows the Supreme Emperor very well.
The Supreme Emperor is the king of a country, and he will also pay attention to the education of the princes and grandchildren, but he always thinks that the granddaughter generation is a woman's business, and he doesn't pay much attention to it.
He didn't pay much attention to Princess Lirong, the granddaughter who hopped around in the palace every day.How can I remember that Princess Yunrong, who only entered the palace after the New Year's Eve and rarely met, is here?
Someone must have mentioned it in his ear.
Only then did the old and soft-hearted Taishanghuang think of this poor granddaughter who lost her mother, and for a moment his head got hot and he was about to find the best person to stuff her in.
Empress Dowager Shang thought: What did you do so early!You cared so much about your granddaughter, but you just took care of your useless son and told him not to spoil his concubine, destroy his wife and force the princess to death!Or if the granddaughter was taken into the palace to be raised properly when the former princess was lingering on the sick bed, that would not be the case.
In the eyes of the Empress Dowager Shang, Princess Yunrong is undoubtedly a pity.
It's just that she was just a concubine Shu back then, and the upbringing of the royal princess didn't allow her to speak.Up to now, Princess Yunrong's temperament has been determined early, and the Empress Dowager Shang is very displeased with this, how can she allow Shang Chi to marry her.
Even the merchants will not be tied to the third prince's boat because of this, and the clan wife of the Baoning Hou Mansion cannot be an ignorant woman who can be manipulated by others.
Empress Dowager Shang ordered: "Check it out. Let me check it carefully."
There are only a few people in the Empress Dowager's Palace, and everyone is old acquaintances, except for the occasional choking of the two big Buddhas, Empress Dowager Shang and Empress Dowager Chu, the rest of the concubines eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha, just pretending that they are invisible people.Prince Zhongshun's biological mother passed away early.
Who would suddenly come out and make a fool of the merchants? Isn't this just wanting to die and not have a good life?
It took only a day or two to find out the power of the Empress Dowager Shang in the harem.
Bizhu stayed beside the Empress Dowager Shang alone and said, "According to the court lady serving tea at the Supreme Emperor's side, it was the second prince who lamented the pity of Cousin Yunrong in front of the Supreme Emperor."
"Concubine Liu Gui? This matter doesn't look like her handwriting." The Empress Dowager Shang was a little puzzled, not because she trusted Concubine Liu Guifei not to do bad things, but because she didn't have the brains to think of such a way to attack the business sideways.
If it was Concubine Liu Gui, the most likely thing would be to perform a faint on the spot and then cry and beg the emperor to give Liu's daughter to the merchant.
Then it ended with being slapped in the face by the Empress Dowager Shang and hiding in the palace, not daring to see anyone.
It can be said that without the emperor's favor, with Concubine Liu Gui's brains and tireless attitude, the harem would have been completely cold.
Bizhu pursed her lips and said: "Your Majesty is wise, and the slaves went to investigate. Concubine Liu Gui and the Second Prince have never had any contact with the Zhongshun Palace. But the Xianfei Empress is quite close to the current princess of the Zhongshun Palace, so I'm afraid The matter of the second prince is that Bai took the blame for the concubine Xian and the third prince."
The second prince's temperament is more along with his mother.
In a word: stupid without knowing it.
In fact, being a human being without wisdom is not scary. The most frightening thing is that a person without wisdom thinks he is extremely smart, and everyone in the world allows him to plot.
But in fact, I am often the one being used by others.
For example, now, the Empress Dowager can imagine the interaction between the two grandsons, almost because the third prince "accidentally" revealed this meaning, but she "hasn't had time" to report it for a while.When the second prince found out, he hurried to the Supreme Emperor to show his merits, to show his filial piety to his elders and to remember his cousin.
Little did he know that he was being sold and was still counting the money.
Empress Dowager Shang was very troubled: she didn't think that when she saw the son of the emperor fighting farewell to his concubine, but now her own grandchildren are cheating on each other, it really makes people upset.
Bizhu continued: "There is one more thing, because Jia Yuanchun was the one who went out from here in the past, and now she is living with the concubine Xian, the maidservant quietly asked her people in the palace to ask, but this idea is Jia Yuanchun and the concubine Xian worked together as advisors."
"If Princess Yunrong becomes the future Mrs. Hou of the Baoninghou Mansion, the princess's easy-going temperament will be manipulated by this stepmother—I'm afraid they want to use this to drag Baoninghou Mansion to stand in the three Where is the prince?"
Empress Dowager Shang's eyes were full of coldness.
Concubine Xian has a good plan!
I didn't come up with anything, but I came up with an idea, planning to use a princess of the Zhongshun Palace to win over the merchants to stand on the side of the third prince.
What's more, he was very careful in doing this, if Bizhu hadn't continued to investigate, the blame would have been carried away by Concubine Liu Gui and the second prince.Although Concubine Liu Gui is not good, but every yard counts, and the real culprit cannot be missed.
The next day, the Marquis of Baoning got the news.
Shang Duo rubbed his chin: "Speaking of which, although the eldest prince has the status of the eldest son, I really didn't want to stand in line so early, but now they just want to force me."
The emperor now has six sons, the eldest prince and the fifth prince are both born in the right line, needless to say.As for the fourth and sixth princes, they are young and their mother's background is low, so they can't be considered for the time being.
The ministers of the DPRK and China secretly stood in line and chose among the first three princes.
The First Prince's birth and eldest son is naturally the hottest among the hottest ones, so many people have no chance to join in.That being the case, many people chose to turn on the cold stove and go to the second and third princes with all their might.Once it is done, one's own family is a success of the dragon.
Most of these families are families of nobles who have declined, thinking that instead of passing it on for two or three generations, the title will be gone, it is better to take a chance as soon as possible, and maybe win another fortune.
Merchants, as today's parents, do not need to stand in line so early.
So Shang Duo has always been very cautious in this matter, and he has never been biased when talking about the three princes in front of the emperor.It's just that I'm optimistic about the eldest prince.
The main reason is to only look at Liu Guifei's mother-in-law's mind, and the second prince's disposition of being ashamed of his family background, it is impossible for Baoning Hou Mansion to stand in the second prince's team.
As for the third prince with the same shadow, Shang Duo didn't think much of him at first.But now people are counting on him, with Shang Duo's temper, it is impossible to stand up to the third prince in this life, he will only stretch out his legs secretly to trip him up.
Shang Chi still smiled slightly, as calm as a pool of water, as if he was not the one who was plotted into the marriage, but said calmly: "If father is at ease, leave this matter to me."
"That's right, anyway, it's your own marriage, you can go figure it out yourself. It just so happens that I'm busy with other things recently." Shang Duo didn't have the slightest sense of being a father, so he dumped the trouble on his son on the spot, and just took it as nothing. exists.
And Shang Chi sat alone and thought about the whole thing.
The index finger still tapped the table subconsciously, making a slight "duk-duk" sound.
Now that the power of the government is intertwined, the Baoninghou Mansion is in full swing, so they have to be more careful everywhere.Not only him, but even the marriage of the two younger brothers must be thought about.
That being the case, it is better to think of a once-and-for-all solution.
In the family of Zhongming Dingshi, the marriage is naturally not something that can be done casually, not to mention that this matter involves the royal princess.
Empress Dowager Shang used this as an excuse to slow down the army in front of the Supreme Emperor, and only said that in addition to Qin Tianjian, she also asked people to take the horoscopes of the two to Jiangnan to ask a divine monk to calculate it, and the Supreme Emperor naturally agreed.
In fact, for the Taishanghuang, he was just a whim, just to satisfy his desire to be a good grandfather.
So this matter dragged on, as if it was an undercurrent surging under the calm lake, and no one knew about it.
Of course, the most lively thing in the capital is Wang Ziteng's embarrassment.
The emperor secretly sent someone to warm up the matter, and the rumors were very popular, even the name of the official talisman in Jinling's officialdom was spread out, which completely overwhelmed the four major families, and even the emperor had to listen to them to dispatch officials like.
Wang Ziteng couldn't argue, and was almost angry: If our family has such abilities, why don't we rebel!Are you still talking here and there with low eyebrows and pleasing to the eye?
The gossip has never been the hardest to tell.
He has been an official in the capital all these years, not to mention political enemies, but the number of those who are jealous of his official position.Those were the people who would come up and tear at the smell of blood.Now that Wang Ziteng has fallen into trouble, even if the emperor doesn't care to arrange it, there will be people who will talk about him.
After going on like this for seven or eight days, Wang Ziteng really felt that he was going to be depressed.
He's not Jia Amnesty Jia Zheng, he has a vacant position and a low position, just hide at home and don't go out, no one can go to the Rongguo Mansion to point them out.
Wang Ziteng can go to court and work every day!
In this way, before the emperor mentioned it to the Taishanghuang, the Taishanghuang took the initiative to interview the emperor, preparing to let the prince vacate Beijing to patrol and avoid the limelight.
Satisfied, the emperor conveniently gave Prince Teng an official post in the capital of nine provinces, and the Supreme Emperor felt more and more that the emperor cared about the old minister's family.
So it was proposed to enter Jia Yuanchun and Niu's position.Especially Jia Yuanchun, who is Jia Daishan's granddaughter and Wang Ziteng's niece.When he was a female official with the Empress Dowager Chu, the emperor had seen her before, and he vaguely remembered that she was a beautiful woman with peach cheeks and apricot mouth, so she was suitable for the emperor's concubine.
The emperor lowered his eyes: the emperor's heart and nature are not to be manipulated, and now the officialdom has to listen to the emperor's orders, but even the women in the harem and the people next to him can't tolerate him doing what he wants. A layer is deepened.
The emperor was not happy, so naturally he couldn't make others happy, and he just waited for the final account to be settled in the future.
Of course, at this time, he only smiled and said: "What the father said is, let the queen handle this matter."
The Supreme Emperor was quite satisfied with the empress's daughter-in-law, and said: "The empress is a virtuous person, but she is younger now, let her go to your mother's empress more in the future, so that she can learn more, your mother's empress is a really virtuous person."
The emperor almost laughed immediately.
The emperor had heard about the idea of the Supreme Emperor long ago from the Empress Dowager Shang, and he knew that his mother's attitude was annoyed that she wished to tear off the Taishang Emperor's beard.
On the one hand, it is very beautiful, and even "considerate" to the Supreme Emperor, it takes a long time to go to the south of the Yangtze River to count the horoscope, so it is better to choose two more candidates for the county master, such as the Lin'anbo Mansion of the Empress Dowager Chu's natal family The eldest son of the eldest son is also very good.
The Supreme Emperor thought about it, and there was nothing wrong with it.
So I looked for an opportunity to ask the Queen Mother for the horoscope.However, when the Empress Dowager Chu heard that it was Princess Yunrong, she expressed displeasure on the spot. In the new generation of her Chu family, only the eldest son was a top-notch son. If she could marry Princess Yunrong, she was just asking for trouble!
So he found an excuse to decline, and the Supreme Emperor felt that the Chu family didn't know how to flatter him, so he actually looked down on his own granddaughter!
Naturally, he was very dissatisfied, and felt that the Empress Dowager Chu was not as good as the Empress Dowager Shang.
The emperor turned around and told the queen about granting Jia Yuanchun the title of Jin.
The queen smiled gently and said: "It's not a festival, it's not a feat, it's not a pregnancy, I'm afraid that Jia Guiren will be criticized by others. However, as sons and daughters-in-law, we just follow the father's order. The concubine wants to give her A concubine, I don’t know what your Majesty thinks? Although there is a vacancy in the position of concubine, it’s just that the fourth prince’s biological mother is still only a concubine, so it’s not easy for Jia Guiren to pass by.”
The emperor sneered: "Concubine? I see what my father means, and I can't wait to make her a noble concubine."
The queen slandered: According to the background of your noble concubine, anyone in the harem can be named a noble concubine. Jia Guiren's background is more than enough.
Of course, there was still a smile on the face: "Then please give me a title, His Majesty, which is considered to be above the ordinary concubine."
"You and the queen mother can decide on this." The emperor was not very happy, so he shook his hand and left.
Regarding Jia Yuanchun's title, the queen came to ask the queen mother for advice, and got an unexpected answer.
"De concubine?" The queen was taken aback.
This title is a bit weird.
"What do you mean by asking your mother to be a concubine of virtue in the harem that day? Isn't it a bit chaotic?" Guixian Shude fourth concubine, what's going on with a concubine of virtue popping up here.
The queen mother was trimming a pot of flowers with great interest, and said with a smile: "This palace intends to expressly show the harem that one of the four concubines, the concubine De, will be vacant for Jia Yuanchun. If she is less than the fourth concubine, how can she be worthy of her kindness?" ?”
"Furthermore, now that she has become a concubine, it's time for her to move out of Xianfei's Yaohua Palace, so as to save the two of them from having a nest together, it's easier to get together."
The Empress Dowager refused to involve Prince Zhongshun's residence with the merchant, so the news was tightly sealed, and even the Empress did not know about it.
But looking at the Queen Mother's attitude now, I also know that Concubine Xian and Jia Yuanchun have offended the Queen Mother Shang severely.
The queen mother always knew that the queen was smart, so she smiled and said: "Okay, you just do it, and the emperor will only praise you after hearing it."
The empress hurriedly got up to respond, and said: "The empress's meaning, my son understands."
Empress Dowager Shang smiled: If Jia Yuanchun can be ranked alongside Xianfei in the future, I wonder if the Rongguo Mansion will support the third prince so firmly?
And how can there be no suspicion between Concubine Xian and Jia Yuanchun?
What's more, the noble and virtuous fourth concubine, because the Queen Mother of Shang is the concubine Shu, ascended to the position of empress dowager, no accident, it is taboo for the venerable, and in the last emperor's dynasty, maybe Concubine Shu can only be vacant.
Therefore, Jia Yuanchun's quasi-virtuous concubine, the position of first-rank and fourth concubine is considered to be gone.
Then the concubine below can still stare at her like a black-eyed chicken?Especially Concubine Kong, who was the birth mother of the fourth prince, probably wanted to swallow Jia Yuanchun alive.
At this time, Shang Chanchan, who heard that Jia Yuanchun was entrusted to the Jin Dynasty, was also thinking.
She rested her chin and said: According to the calculations in the book, Yuan Chun will be named concubine and family in about one or two years.It will be interesting if she still has the concubine Xiande at that time.I don't know how Concubine Xian thinks of this Concubine De who has taken her title.
Besides, apart from the posthumous title, I have never heard of a double-word concubine in this dynasty.
Therefore, some red scholars believe that this title implies Yuan Chun's death.
This made the Jia family's virtuous concubine, who was like a virtuous concubine cooked with brocade fire, withered in the harem after only a few years of splendor.
The next day was the day when the companion read out of the palace, Shang Chanchan sat in the room in a daze.
Because there is no headed wife in Lin's mansion, now Daiyu is in charge of everything in the mansion with one hand, she is not as leisurely as she used to be in Rongguo mansion, she often comes to Baoninghou's mansion as a guest, so Shang Chanchan is left alone.
For a while, I only heard Ganoderma lucidum back and forth: "Miss, the uncle is here."
"Big brother?"
Shang Chanchan is getting older every year now, so even her biological brothers seldom come to her house, and Shang Chi, a busy person who is now an official, is even more rare, so Shang Chanchan hurriedly said: "Then Please come in big brother."
Shang Chi was ordered by the Jiang family to deliver paintings to Shang Chanchan.
"This year's season is not good. My mother asked me to invite two paintings of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva that have been consecrated from the Huguo Temple, and asked you to hang them in the house."
Shang Chanchan looked at the two scrolls in his hand: "Do you want to hang two scrolls for the Bodhisattva?"
Shang Chi said: "There is one for Miss Lin. Mother knows that if you have one, she will give it to Miss Lin, so she just asked me to invite two."
Shang Chanchan accepted it with a smile, got up and thanked Shang Chi: "Thank you, brother, for taking this trip in person."
Although Shang Chi and Lin Ruhai see each other every day, but Daiyu belongs to his daughter's family, it is most suitable for Shang Chanchan to send her off.
Seeing Shang Chi sitting down drinking tea, Shang Chanchan rolled her eyes, and said again: "Brother, the Tibetan lama came to make a pilgrimage to see His Majesty before, didn't he give our family several gem-studded Tibetan magic swords? Knowing that big brother doesn't like weapons, can you give me that big brother?"
Shang Chi looked at her: "Didn't father give you a gift? If you want to give it to Miss Lin again, you don't have to. The first and second rank officials of Chaozhongzheng have accepted this gift, and Master Lin also has it. "
Of course, Lin Ruhai might not be willing to let his daughter play with such a murder weapon.
Even when Shang Duo gave Shang Chanchan a hand, Jiang talked about it for a few days behind him, saying that instead of giving his daughter a piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, he would give him a knife instead, thinking that this child is not special enough!
Shang Chanchan shook her head: "No, it's for the princess."
Shang Chi only said: "There is also Prince Zhongyong's Mansion."
Shang Chanchan blinked: "Shouldn't the princess be allowed to be a double swordsman?"
In fact, Princess Lirong also has some, but she has taken a fancy to the one held by the fifth prince Xiao Rang-so in this world, even if the Buddhist sect enters the world, it is inevitable to see people order dishes, and people from Tibet will give them to them. The princes are naturally the best, and the families of the rest of the important ministers are just one level behind.
Xiao Rang was also very fond of this, and he refused to give it to his cousin for nothing, so he only asked Princess Lirong to exchange for two knives.How could Princess Lirong be willing to point at Xiao Rang on the spot and call him a profiteer, and the lawsuit between the two of them almost came to the emperor again.
In the words of Princess Lirong: "We have knives in our house, but I don't suffer from it!"
Because the siblings had a temper tantrum, their goose-fighting quartet hadn't seen each other for more than ten days.Shang Chanchan was still in a hurry to see Xie Ling, so she asked him to help investigate Concubine Xian's house.
It was about Shang Chi's marriage, and it involved Concubine Xian and Jia Yuanchun, Shang Chanchan couldn't hold back her curiosity at all.
Helplessly, Shang Chi is not Shang Duo, everything is unstable, and no one can try to trick him, Shang Chanchan can't, so she plans to ask Xie Ling to check the information of Xianfei's natal family, so that she can deal with Xianfei in the palace.As a result, the disagreement between the fifth prince and Princess Lirong prevented them from hunting geese together, and it was difficult for her to go to see Xie Ling by herself.
So she changed her mind, and planned to ask for another knife from her brother, and then exchange it with the fifth prince as an "elder".
Shang Chi had nothing to do with the Tibetan knife, so he nodded in agreement.
Seeing that Shang Chanchan was happy, Shang Chi remembered that he had never punished his sister for copying books because his mother stopped him, so he just said, "Chanchan, how is your study recently? Write a few words for me to see."
Shang Chanchan: ...
Before Shang Chi could speak again, she pointed to the sky outside and said, "Brother, look, the sky is so blue today!"
Ganoderma lucidum and Poria cocos couldn't help laughing.
Shang Chi's gaze followed her hand, looked outside, and said, "Guo Xi of the Song Dynasty once described the colors of the sky and water in the four seasons. The colors of the sky are: spring, summer, autumn, and winter. It's wonderful, just in time for this spring day."
Shang Chanchan: Well, it's quite eye-catching.
Shang Chi continued to say leisurely: "So his paintings are also subtle and meticulous. It can be said that they are far, near and shallow. They are four seasons, day and night, and the wind and rain are different. I have a painting by him. If you can answer the four seasons he painted, I will give you that painting."
Shang Chanchan was silent for a long while, then said tremblingly: "Who did the elder brother just say? Me, I have already forgotten the name of the person."
Shang Chi: ...
Shang Chi was indeed a little surprised.In the past, this little girl was weak and introverted and refused to meet people. As the eldest brother, he seldom talked to her, let alone checking her homework.Now he is lively, and he looks like an exquisite child.It was only then that Shang Chi tested her knowledge on a whim.
Baoninghou was the number one scholar, and Shang Chi himself was Tanhualang.Although the other two younger brothers have never taken the imperial examination, they are not bad in knowledge. Even Shang Ji, who is the most honest and simple, is superior to outsiders in the examination.
So Shang Chi really didn't expect this younger sister's knowledge to be so incomprehensible.
He walked to the case, took the handwriting written by Shang Chanchan, and couldn't help frowning.
"You also studied for a few months when you entered the palace, what exactly did you learn?"
"Women teach women." Shang Chanchan hurriedly pulled the two books out to block the gun.
"Okay, then keep silent and show me."
Shang Chanchan almost burst into tears on the spot: her female training is only a little better than Princess Lirong's.Princess Lirong learned the first page of Chapter 1, and she learned the second page of Chapter 1.
"Brother, women are women's training, the teachers haven't finished yet..."
Seeing Shang Chi glance over, he quickly said: "But besides that, I also studied the Book of Songs, Taibai Anthology, Lao Du Qilu, and also read some poems by Tao Yuanming and Lu Fangweng."
Shang Chanchan silently appreciated the nine-year compulsory education in her heart.
After finishing speaking, he recited a song to Shang Chi emotionally on the spot, "Looking up at the bright moon, bowing down and thinking about my hometown."
Shang Chi smiled: "So you're a poet, and since that's the case, I'll give you a title, and you can write a poem for me to read. You don't need to be clever with your words, as long as they are plain and true, and the allusions are good. "
Shang Chanchan only hoped that Lin Daiyu's soul would pass through her at this moment.
She also secretly hated the world in the Dream of the Red Chamber, which was almost the world of the Qing Dynasty. All famous poems existed, and she couldn't borrow one even if she wanted to.What she can remember are all world-famous, and it may be more difficult than dreaming to deceive Shang Chi.
So I had to take a pen and rack my brains to write a five-character poem.
Shang Chi took her masterpiece and didn't speak for a while.
When it was time for dinner, Shang Duo noticed that his daughter's face was a little gray, and even her eyes were a little dull, so he asked.
Shang Chanchan hurriedly complained that Shang Chi tested her for poetry, and the five-character quatrains she wrote with painstaking efforts only had four words in his comments: appalling.
She pretended to be pitiful and said: "Father, what big brother said, I will be a shadow in my heart from now on, how can I make progress."
Shang Chi put down his chopsticks: "Sister's homework is really inappropriate."
He has a photographic memory, and at this time he shared Shang Chanchan's masterpiece with everyone. Shang Ji is kind and just suppressed a smile.A literati like Shang Jun couldn't listen anymore, and said directly: "Brother's evaluation is indeed correct."
Jiang said angrily: "She is a little girl, and you are also embarrassing her?"
Shang Duo smiled and waved his hands and said, "Forget it, just read and understand the truth. Does our family really want to have a Xie Daoyun?"
Rao Shang Chi's expression was also a little frozen, Shang Chanchan understood what he meant: he must have felt that his father was really boastful, and with his sister's level of education, how dare she touch Xie Daoyun?
Shang Chanchan lowered her head, not daring to meet his gaze.
But Shang Chi said that she will be tested next time.
Shang Chanchan intends to go back to the palace and beg Daiyu to teach her how to compose poems so that she can use it later for business.
The author has something to say: Shang Chanchan: I am not worthy to stay in this house.

感谢在2019-12-1321:48:12~2019-12-1422:48:06期间为我投出霸王票或灌溉营养液的小天使哦~

Thanks to the little angel of irrigation nutrient solution: 4121831130 bottles; van10 bottles; white spoon 1 bottle;
Thank you very much for your support, I will continue to work hard!
The Supreme Emperor is the king of a country, and he will also pay attention to the education of the princes and grandchildren, but he always thinks that the granddaughter generation is a woman's business, and he doesn't pay much attention to it.
He didn't pay much attention to Princess Lirong, the granddaughter who hopped around in the palace every day.How can I remember that Princess Yunrong, who only entered the palace after the New Year's Eve and rarely met, is here?
Someone must have mentioned it in his ear.
Only then did the old and soft-hearted Taishanghuang think of this poor granddaughter who lost her mother, and for a moment his head got hot and he was about to find the best person to stuff her in.
Empress Dowager Shang thought: What did you do so early!You cared so much about your granddaughter, but you just took care of your useless son and told him not to spoil his concubine, destroy his wife and force the princess to death!Or if the granddaughter was taken into the palace to be raised properly when the former princess was lingering on the sick bed, that would not be the case.
In the eyes of the Empress Dowager Shang, Princess Yunrong is undoubtedly a pity.
It's just that she was just a concubine Shu back then, and the upbringing of the royal princess didn't allow her to speak.Up to now, Princess Yunrong's temperament has been determined early, and the Empress Dowager Shang is very displeased with this, how can she allow Shang Chi to marry her.
Even the merchants will not be tied to the third prince's boat because of this, and the clan wife of the Baoning Hou Mansion cannot be an ignorant woman who can be manipulated by others.
Empress Dowager Shang ordered: "Check it out. Let me check it carefully."
There are only a few people in the Empress Dowager's Palace, and everyone is old acquaintances, except for the occasional choking of the two big Buddhas, Empress Dowager Shang and Empress Dowager Chu, the rest of the concubines eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha, just pretending that they are invisible people.Prince Zhongshun's biological mother passed away early.
Who would suddenly come out and make a fool of the merchants? Isn't this just wanting to die and not have a good life?
It took only a day or two to find out the power of the Empress Dowager Shang in the harem.
Bizhu stayed beside the Empress Dowager Shang alone and said, "According to the court lady serving tea at the Supreme Emperor's side, it was the second prince who lamented the pity of Cousin Yunrong in front of the Supreme Emperor."
"Concubine Liu Gui? This matter doesn't look like her handwriting." The Empress Dowager Shang was a little puzzled, not because she trusted Concubine Liu Guifei not to do bad things, but because she didn't have the brains to think of such a way to attack the business sideways.
If it was Concubine Liu Gui, the most likely thing would be to perform a faint on the spot and then cry and beg the emperor to give Liu's daughter to the merchant.
Then it ended with being slapped in the face by the Empress Dowager Shang and hiding in the palace, not daring to see anyone.
It can be said that without the emperor's favor, with Concubine Liu Gui's brains and tireless attitude, the harem would have been completely cold.
Bizhu pursed her lips and said: "Your Majesty is wise, and the slaves went to investigate. Concubine Liu Gui and the Second Prince have never had any contact with the Zhongshun Palace. But the Xianfei Empress is quite close to the current princess of the Zhongshun Palace, so I'm afraid The matter of the second prince is that Bai took the blame for the concubine Xian and the third prince."
The second prince's temperament is more along with his mother.
In a word: stupid without knowing it.
In fact, being a human being without wisdom is not scary. The most frightening thing is that a person without wisdom thinks he is extremely smart, and everyone in the world allows him to plot.
But in fact, I am often the one being used by others.
For example, now, the Empress Dowager can imagine the interaction between the two grandsons, almost because the third prince "accidentally" revealed this meaning, but she "hasn't had time" to report it for a while.When the second prince found out, he hurried to the Supreme Emperor to show his merits, to show his filial piety to his elders and to remember his cousin.
Little did he know that he was being sold and was still counting the money.
Empress Dowager Shang was very troubled: she didn't think that when she saw the son of the emperor fighting farewell to his concubine, but now her own grandchildren are cheating on each other, it really makes people upset.
Bizhu continued: "There is one more thing, because Jia Yuanchun was the one who went out from here in the past, and now she is living with the concubine Xian, the maidservant quietly asked her people in the palace to ask, but this idea is Jia Yuanchun and the concubine Xian worked together as advisors."
"If Princess Yunrong becomes the future Mrs. Hou of the Baoninghou Mansion, the princess's easy-going temperament will be manipulated by this stepmother—I'm afraid they want to use this to drag Baoninghou Mansion to stand in the three Where is the prince?"
Empress Dowager Shang's eyes were full of coldness.
Concubine Xian has a good plan!
I didn't come up with anything, but I came up with an idea, planning to use a princess of the Zhongshun Palace to win over the merchants to stand on the side of the third prince.
What's more, he was very careful in doing this, if Bizhu hadn't continued to investigate, the blame would have been carried away by Concubine Liu Gui and the second prince.Although Concubine Liu Gui is not good, but every yard counts, and the real culprit cannot be missed.
The next day, the Marquis of Baoning got the news.
Shang Duo rubbed his chin: "Speaking of which, although the eldest prince has the status of the eldest son, I really didn't want to stand in line so early, but now they just want to force me."
The emperor now has six sons, the eldest prince and the fifth prince are both born in the right line, needless to say.As for the fourth and sixth princes, they are young and their mother's background is low, so they can't be considered for the time being.
The ministers of the DPRK and China secretly stood in line and chose among the first three princes.
The First Prince's birth and eldest son is naturally the hottest among the hottest ones, so many people have no chance to join in.That being the case, many people chose to turn on the cold stove and go to the second and third princes with all their might.Once it is done, one's own family is a success of the dragon.
Most of these families are families of nobles who have declined, thinking that instead of passing it on for two or three generations, the title will be gone, it is better to take a chance as soon as possible, and maybe win another fortune.
Merchants, as today's parents, do not need to stand in line so early.
So Shang Duo has always been very cautious in this matter, and he has never been biased when talking about the three princes in front of the emperor.It's just that I'm optimistic about the eldest prince.
The main reason is to only look at Liu Guifei's mother-in-law's mind, and the second prince's disposition of being ashamed of his family background, it is impossible for Baoning Hou Mansion to stand in the second prince's team.
As for the third prince with the same shadow, Shang Duo didn't think much of him at first.But now people are counting on him, with Shang Duo's temper, it is impossible to stand up to the third prince in this life, he will only stretch out his legs secretly to trip him up.
Shang Chi still smiled slightly, as calm as a pool of water, as if he was not the one who was plotted into the marriage, but said calmly: "If father is at ease, leave this matter to me."
"That's right, anyway, it's your own marriage, you can go figure it out yourself. It just so happens that I'm busy with other things recently." Shang Duo didn't have the slightest sense of being a father, so he dumped the trouble on his son on the spot, and just took it as nothing. exists.
And Shang Chi sat alone and thought about the whole thing.
The index finger still tapped the table subconsciously, making a slight "duk-duk" sound.
Now that the power of the government is intertwined, the Baoninghou Mansion is in full swing, so they have to be more careful everywhere.Not only him, but even the marriage of the two younger brothers must be thought about.
That being the case, it is better to think of a once-and-for-all solution.
In the family of Zhongming Dingshi, the marriage is naturally not something that can be done casually, not to mention that this matter involves the royal princess.
Empress Dowager Shang used this as an excuse to slow down the army in front of the Supreme Emperor, and only said that in addition to Qin Tianjian, she also asked people to take the horoscopes of the two to Jiangnan to ask a divine monk to calculate it, and the Supreme Emperor naturally agreed.
In fact, for the Taishanghuang, he was just a whim, just to satisfy his desire to be a good grandfather.
So this matter dragged on, as if it was an undercurrent surging under the calm lake, and no one knew about it.
Of course, the most lively thing in the capital is Wang Ziteng's embarrassment.
The emperor secretly sent someone to warm up the matter, and the rumors were very popular, even the name of the official talisman in Jinling's officialdom was spread out, which completely overwhelmed the four major families, and even the emperor had to listen to them to dispatch officials like.
Wang Ziteng couldn't argue, and was almost angry: If our family has such abilities, why don't we rebel!Are you still talking here and there with low eyebrows and pleasing to the eye?
The gossip has never been the hardest to tell.
He has been an official in the capital all these years, not to mention political enemies, but the number of those who are jealous of his official position.Those were the people who would come up and tear at the smell of blood.Now that Wang Ziteng has fallen into trouble, even if the emperor doesn't care to arrange it, there will be people who will talk about him.
After going on like this for seven or eight days, Wang Ziteng really felt that he was going to be depressed.
He's not Jia Amnesty Jia Zheng, he has a vacant position and a low position, just hide at home and don't go out, no one can go to the Rongguo Mansion to point them out.
Wang Ziteng can go to court and work every day!
In this way, before the emperor mentioned it to the Taishanghuang, the Taishanghuang took the initiative to interview the emperor, preparing to let the prince vacate Beijing to patrol and avoid the limelight.
Satisfied, the emperor conveniently gave Prince Teng an official post in the capital of nine provinces, and the Supreme Emperor felt more and more that the emperor cared about the old minister's family.
So it was proposed to enter Jia Yuanchun and Niu's position.Especially Jia Yuanchun, who is Jia Daishan's granddaughter and Wang Ziteng's niece.When he was a female official with the Empress Dowager Chu, the emperor had seen her before, and he vaguely remembered that she was a beautiful woman with peach cheeks and apricot mouth, so she was suitable for the emperor's concubine.
The emperor lowered his eyes: the emperor's heart and nature are not to be manipulated, and now the officialdom has to listen to the emperor's orders, but even the women in the harem and the people next to him can't tolerate him doing what he wants. A layer is deepened.
The emperor was not happy, so naturally he couldn't make others happy, and he just waited for the final account to be settled in the future.
Of course, at this time, he only smiled and said: "What the father said is, let the queen handle this matter."
The Supreme Emperor was quite satisfied with the empress's daughter-in-law, and said: "The empress is a virtuous person, but she is younger now, let her go to your mother's empress more in the future, so that she can learn more, your mother's empress is a really virtuous person."
The emperor almost laughed immediately.
The emperor had heard about the idea of the Supreme Emperor long ago from the Empress Dowager Shang, and he knew that his mother's attitude was annoyed that she wished to tear off the Taishang Emperor's beard.
On the one hand, it is very beautiful, and even "considerate" to the Supreme Emperor, it takes a long time to go to the south of the Yangtze River to count the horoscope, so it is better to choose two more candidates for the county master, such as the Lin'anbo Mansion of the Empress Dowager Chu's natal family The eldest son of the eldest son is also very good.
The Supreme Emperor thought about it, and there was nothing wrong with it.
So I looked for an opportunity to ask the Queen Mother for the horoscope.However, when the Empress Dowager Chu heard that it was Princess Yunrong, she expressed displeasure on the spot. In the new generation of her Chu family, only the eldest son was a top-notch son. If she could marry Princess Yunrong, she was just asking for trouble!
So he found an excuse to decline, and the Supreme Emperor felt that the Chu family didn't know how to flatter him, so he actually looked down on his own granddaughter!
Naturally, he was very dissatisfied, and felt that the Empress Dowager Chu was not as good as the Empress Dowager Shang.
The emperor turned around and told the queen about granting Jia Yuanchun the title of Jin.
The queen smiled gently and said: "It's not a festival, it's not a feat, it's not a pregnancy, I'm afraid that Jia Guiren will be criticized by others. However, as sons and daughters-in-law, we just follow the father's order. The concubine wants to give her A concubine, I don’t know what your Majesty thinks? Although there is a vacancy in the position of concubine, it’s just that the fourth prince’s biological mother is still only a concubine, so it’s not easy for Jia Guiren to pass by.”
The emperor sneered: "Concubine? I see what my father means, and I can't wait to make her a noble concubine."
The queen slandered: According to the background of your noble concubine, anyone in the harem can be named a noble concubine. Jia Guiren's background is more than enough.
Of course, there was still a smile on the face: "Then please give me a title, His Majesty, which is considered to be above the ordinary concubine."
"You and the queen mother can decide on this." The emperor was not very happy, so he shook his hand and left.
Regarding Jia Yuanchun's title, the queen came to ask the queen mother for advice, and got an unexpected answer.
"De concubine?" The queen was taken aback.
This title is a bit weird.
"What do you mean by asking your mother to be a concubine of virtue in the harem that day? Isn't it a bit chaotic?" Guixian Shude fourth concubine, what's going on with a concubine of virtue popping up here.
The queen mother was trimming a pot of flowers with great interest, and said with a smile: "This palace intends to expressly show the harem that one of the four concubines, the concubine De, will be vacant for Jia Yuanchun. If she is less than the fourth concubine, how can she be worthy of her kindness?" ?”
"Furthermore, now that she has become a concubine, it's time for her to move out of Xianfei's Yaohua Palace, so as to save the two of them from having a nest together, it's easier to get together."
The Empress Dowager refused to involve Prince Zhongshun's residence with the merchant, so the news was tightly sealed, and even the Empress did not know about it.
But looking at the Queen Mother's attitude now, I also know that Concubine Xian and Jia Yuanchun have offended the Queen Mother Shang severely.
The queen mother always knew that the queen was smart, so she smiled and said: "Okay, you just do it, and the emperor will only praise you after hearing it."
The empress hurriedly got up to respond, and said: "The empress's meaning, my son understands."
Empress Dowager Shang smiled: If Jia Yuanchun can be ranked alongside Xianfei in the future, I wonder if the Rongguo Mansion will support the third prince so firmly?
And how can there be no suspicion between Concubine Xian and Jia Yuanchun?
What's more, the noble and virtuous fourth concubine, because the Queen Mother of Shang is the concubine Shu, ascended to the position of empress dowager, no accident, it is taboo for the venerable, and in the last emperor's dynasty, maybe Concubine Shu can only be vacant.
Therefore, Jia Yuanchun's quasi-virtuous concubine, the position of first-rank and fourth concubine is considered to be gone.
Then the concubine below can still stare at her like a black-eyed chicken?Especially Concubine Kong, who was the birth mother of the fourth prince, probably wanted to swallow Jia Yuanchun alive.
At this time, Shang Chanchan, who heard that Jia Yuanchun was entrusted to the Jin Dynasty, was also thinking.
She rested her chin and said: According to the calculations in the book, Yuan Chun will be named concubine and family in about one or two years.It will be interesting if she still has the concubine Xiande at that time.I don't know how Concubine Xian thinks of this Concubine De who has taken her title.
Besides, apart from the posthumous title, I have never heard of a double-word concubine in this dynasty.
Therefore, some red scholars believe that this title implies Yuan Chun's death.
This made the Jia family's virtuous concubine, who was like a virtuous concubine cooked with brocade fire, withered in the harem after only a few years of splendor.
The next day was the day when the companion read out of the palace, Shang Chanchan sat in the room in a daze.
Because there is no headed wife in Lin's mansion, now Daiyu is in charge of everything in the mansion with one hand, she is not as leisurely as she used to be in Rongguo mansion, she often comes to Baoninghou's mansion as a guest, so Shang Chanchan is left alone.
For a while, I only heard Ganoderma lucidum back and forth: "Miss, the uncle is here."
"Big brother?"
Shang Chanchan is getting older every year now, so even her biological brothers seldom come to her house, and Shang Chi, a busy person who is now an official, is even more rare, so Shang Chanchan hurriedly said: "Then Please come in big brother."
Shang Chi was ordered by the Jiang family to deliver paintings to Shang Chanchan.
"This year's season is not good. My mother asked me to invite two paintings of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva that have been consecrated from the Huguo Temple, and asked you to hang them in the house."
Shang Chanchan looked at the two scrolls in his hand: "Do you want to hang two scrolls for the Bodhisattva?"
Shang Chi said: "There is one for Miss Lin. Mother knows that if you have one, she will give it to Miss Lin, so she just asked me to invite two."
Shang Chanchan accepted it with a smile, got up and thanked Shang Chi: "Thank you, brother, for taking this trip in person."
Although Shang Chi and Lin Ruhai see each other every day, but Daiyu belongs to his daughter's family, it is most suitable for Shang Chanchan to send her off.
Seeing Shang Chi sitting down drinking tea, Shang Chanchan rolled her eyes, and said again: "Brother, the Tibetan lama came to make a pilgrimage to see His Majesty before, didn't he give our family several gem-studded Tibetan magic swords? Knowing that big brother doesn't like weapons, can you give me that big brother?"
Shang Chi looked at her: "Didn't father give you a gift? If you want to give it to Miss Lin again, you don't have to. The first and second rank officials of Chaozhongzheng have accepted this gift, and Master Lin also has it. "
Of course, Lin Ruhai might not be willing to let his daughter play with such a murder weapon.
Even when Shang Duo gave Shang Chanchan a hand, Jiang talked about it for a few days behind him, saying that instead of giving his daughter a piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, he would give him a knife instead, thinking that this child is not special enough!
Shang Chanchan shook her head: "No, it's for the princess."
Shang Chi only said: "There is also Prince Zhongyong's Mansion."
Shang Chanchan blinked: "Shouldn't the princess be allowed to be a double swordsman?"
In fact, Princess Lirong also has some, but she has taken a fancy to the one held by the fifth prince Xiao Rang-so in this world, even if the Buddhist sect enters the world, it is inevitable to see people order dishes, and people from Tibet will give them to them. The princes are naturally the best, and the families of the rest of the important ministers are just one level behind.
Xiao Rang was also very fond of this, and he refused to give it to his cousin for nothing, so he only asked Princess Lirong to exchange for two knives.How could Princess Lirong be willing to point at Xiao Rang on the spot and call him a profiteer, and the lawsuit between the two of them almost came to the emperor again.
In the words of Princess Lirong: "We have knives in our house, but I don't suffer from it!"
Because the siblings had a temper tantrum, their goose-fighting quartet hadn't seen each other for more than ten days.Shang Chanchan was still in a hurry to see Xie Ling, so she asked him to help investigate Concubine Xian's house.
It was about Shang Chi's marriage, and it involved Concubine Xian and Jia Yuanchun, Shang Chanchan couldn't hold back her curiosity at all.
Helplessly, Shang Chi is not Shang Duo, everything is unstable, and no one can try to trick him, Shang Chanchan can't, so she plans to ask Xie Ling to check the information of Xianfei's natal family, so that she can deal with Xianfei in the palace.As a result, the disagreement between the fifth prince and Princess Lirong prevented them from hunting geese together, and it was difficult for her to go to see Xie Ling by herself.
So she changed her mind, and planned to ask for another knife from her brother, and then exchange it with the fifth prince as an "elder".
Shang Chi had nothing to do with the Tibetan knife, so he nodded in agreement.
Seeing that Shang Chanchan was happy, Shang Chi remembered that he had never punished his sister for copying books because his mother stopped him, so he just said, "Chanchan, how is your study recently? Write a few words for me to see."
Shang Chanchan: ...
Before Shang Chi could speak again, she pointed to the sky outside and said, "Brother, look, the sky is so blue today!"
Ganoderma lucidum and Poria cocos couldn't help laughing.
Shang Chi's gaze followed her hand, looked outside, and said, "Guo Xi of the Song Dynasty once described the colors of the sky and water in the four seasons. The colors of the sky are: spring, summer, autumn, and winter. It's wonderful, just in time for this spring day."
Shang Chanchan: Well, it's quite eye-catching.
Shang Chi continued to say leisurely: "So his paintings are also subtle and meticulous. It can be said that they are far, near and shallow. They are four seasons, day and night, and the wind and rain are different. I have a painting by him. If you can answer the four seasons he painted, I will give you that painting."
Shang Chanchan was silent for a long while, then said tremblingly: "Who did the elder brother just say? Me, I have already forgotten the name of the person."
Shang Chi: ...
Shang Chi was indeed a little surprised.In the past, this little girl was weak and introverted and refused to meet people. As the eldest brother, he seldom talked to her, let alone checking her homework.Now he is lively, and he looks like an exquisite child.It was only then that Shang Chi tested her knowledge on a whim.
Baoninghou was the number one scholar, and Shang Chi himself was Tanhualang.Although the other two younger brothers have never taken the imperial examination, they are not bad in knowledge. Even Shang Ji, who is the most honest and simple, is superior to outsiders in the examination.
So Shang Chi really didn't expect this younger sister's knowledge to be so incomprehensible.
He walked to the case, took the handwriting written by Shang Chanchan, and couldn't help frowning.
"You also studied for a few months when you entered the palace, what exactly did you learn?"
"Women teach women." Shang Chanchan hurriedly pulled the two books out to block the gun.
"Okay, then keep silent and show me."
Shang Chanchan almost burst into tears on the spot: her female training is only a little better than Princess Lirong's.Princess Lirong learned the first page of Chapter 1, and she learned the second page of Chapter 1.
"Brother, women are women's training, the teachers haven't finished yet..."
Seeing Shang Chi glance over, he quickly said: "But besides that, I also studied the Book of Songs, Taibai Anthology, Lao Du Qilu, and also read some poems by Tao Yuanming and Lu Fangweng."
Shang Chanchan silently appreciated the nine-year compulsory education in her heart.
After finishing speaking, he recited a song to Shang Chi emotionally on the spot, "Looking up at the bright moon, bowing down and thinking about my hometown."
Shang Chi smiled: "So you're a poet, and since that's the case, I'll give you a title, and you can write a poem for me to read. You don't need to be clever with your words, as long as they are plain and true, and the allusions are good. "
Shang Chanchan only hoped that Lin Daiyu's soul would pass through her at this moment.
She also secretly hated the world in the Dream of the Red Chamber, which was almost the world of the Qing Dynasty. All famous poems existed, and she couldn't borrow one even if she wanted to.What she can remember are all world-famous, and it may be more difficult than dreaming to deceive Shang Chi.
So I had to take a pen and rack my brains to write a five-character poem.
Shang Chi took her masterpiece and didn't speak for a while.
When it was time for dinner, Shang Duo noticed that his daughter's face was a little gray, and even her eyes were a little dull, so he asked.
Shang Chanchan hurriedly complained that Shang Chi tested her for poetry, and the five-character quatrains she wrote with painstaking efforts only had four words in his comments: appalling.
She pretended to be pitiful and said: "Father, what big brother said, I will be a shadow in my heart from now on, how can I make progress."
Shang Chi put down his chopsticks: "Sister's homework is really inappropriate."
He has a photographic memory, and at this time he shared Shang Chanchan's masterpiece with everyone. Shang Ji is kind and just suppressed a smile.A literati like Shang Jun couldn't listen anymore, and said directly: "Brother's evaluation is indeed correct."
Jiang said angrily: "She is a little girl, and you are also embarrassing her?"
Shang Duo smiled and waved his hands and said, "Forget it, just read and understand the truth. Does our family really want to have a Xie Daoyun?"
Rao Shang Chi's expression was also a little frozen, Shang Chanchan understood what he meant: he must have felt that his father was really boastful, and with his sister's level of education, how dare she touch Xie Daoyun?
Shang Chanchan lowered her head, not daring to meet his gaze.
But Shang Chi said that she will be tested next time.
Shang Chanchan intends to go back to the palace and beg Daiyu to teach her how to compose poems so that she can use it later for business.
The author has something to say: Shang Chanchan: I am not worthy to stay in this house.
