Red Mansion: He Doesn't Want to Bend

As soon as this remark came out, Yuan Chunshang was next, but the Queen Mother was very surprised, looked at him and said: "I heard a few days ago that you picked up a young man to go to the mansion, and that Mr. Lin was sent there not long after he won Tanhua. Yangzhou is an official, how do you know his son?"

"When I came back from the waterway that day, I happened to meet the Lin family's boat entering the capital, so I went back to the capital along the way. It's not a big deal, and it's not worth telling the queen mother. This Lin Hai has an eldest son who is very intelligent and can read well. I invited him to live in the palace for a period of time because I agreed with him in words. Coincidentally, Yong Kuan was also there, so I asked him to read and listen to Yong Kuan."

King He Rui Liao Liao explained the reason, and the Empress Dowager asked Yong Kuan: "I heard Zhong Xing said that the child is a little favored by you, but I heard it today. Is that really the case?"

After Murong Yongkuan left the palace, he had not seen Lin Jue for a long time.Hearing someone mention it suddenly this time, I can't help but think about the interesting story of sitting and discussing tea with each other in Prince He Rui's residence.But he showed a sincere smile: "It's true."

The eldest prince has always been cautious in his words and deeds, and he is never willing to talk too much.Now if the word is really exported, it can be described to the fullest.

The queen mother also knows, so there is no need to ask others.Leaning on the cushion behind him, he smiled and said to Yuan Chun: "Since both the prince and the eldest prince have agreed, it is naturally good. Being able to read a book for Yongkuan and have a conversation with him is a blessing, and it is also his good fortune. I also have opinions to see him, but I don’t know which one is better.”

Yuan Chun bent his knees and replied, "Yes, this servant knows."

Since the Empress Dowager said this, she must meet Lin Jue on the Qianqiu Festival.That being the case, there is no need to ask or not to talk about it. If I don't want to invite, I will invite it now.

After asking again, Yuan Chun just knelt down.

Yuan Chun thought about it while walking outside, but his heart was full of apprehension.She had heard about Lin Jue's cousin, but her uncle and aunt had been in Yangzhou, and they had never met each other.Later Lin Jue came to the capital with her uncle and lived in Jia's mansion. She could see her, but she went to the palace again.

Now it seems that this cousin's luck is very good, unlike before, he only knew that he was a good student.

Yuan Chun didn't dare to delay, and walked in a hurry, just wanting to go back to Kunyi Palace as soon as possible.Unexpectedly, after walking a few steps, she was stopped by a girl in palace attire.It looked a bit familiar, but after a closer look, it was Xin Fu who was the most powerful by King He Rui's side.

Xin Fu had a smile on her face, with a very gentle look: "Miss Yuan Chun is walking in a hurry, I can only pass it on by taking a shortcut."

She is a member of King He Rui, so Yuan Chun rarely replaces her with courtesy.He laughed back and said: "Where is my sister, if you have any orders, just say it. Even if I go back to Kunyi Palace, my sister will ask someone to call me. I will come from now on, and I dare not refuse."

"When I was in the palace, I always heard about Miss Yuanchun's virtuous name. I heard people say that your needlework is very good. You can see that I embroidered a handkerchief recently, and the orchid grass on it was always unattractive. If Miss Yuanchun is fine, Can you teach me something?"

She spoke politely, and the meaning revealed between her movements was that Yuan Chun must go through this experience.Yuan Chun also understood that the veil was just an excuse, presumably King He Rui wanted to see her.

He hurriedly agreed, and ordered the servant girl who followed behind him to go to Kunyi Palace to answer first, and followed Xin Fu to the other side.

Xin Fu took her with her, but did not return to Shoukang Palace.Prince He Rui originally had a residence in the palace, but later moved to the palace outside. Although Yongfu Palace was shelved, it was often repaired by people.It is obvious to all that His Majesty loves him as a younger brother, and it is not uncommon for him to stay in the palace occasionally, and he lives in Yongfu Palace.

Xinfu introduced Yuanchun into the main hall of Yongfu Palace, and the hall was silent, and no human voice was heard.Even Xin Fu, after saluting, slowly backed out.

King He Rui was sitting on the kang, holding a cup of tea and eating slowly.Now it was getting colder, but he could see the dense hot air swaying out of the cup, making his handsome face a little hazy.

He took a few sips of tea slowly, then put the teacup on the small table, and then looked at her.

Yuan Chun was terrified by his gaze, and couldn't help lowering his head, but he said, "My lord."

"I have a few words, and it is inconvenient for the queen mother to know. You bring them to the emperor's wife for me."

"Yes."

She still lowered her head slightly, and he couldn't see the expression on her face clearly.Looking over from here, one can only see the part of her neck exposed outside the palace dress, which is white and graceful.She is the eldest girl of the Duke's Mansion, she must have been pampered since she was a child.It's a woman again, probably more pampered than Lin Jue.What's more, Jia Yuanchun's complexion is somewhat similar to Lin Jue's, with softer eyebrows and eyes.That's all, nothing more.That's the only way Jia Yuanchun feels about him.

King He Rui withdrew his gaze without nostalgia, and said in a low voice: "I understand what the emperor's sister-in-law means. You go back and tell the emperor's wife, those things are nothing to worry about. After calling her sister-in-law, she has inherited her past. You can’t forget about her care. No matter whether it’s your sister-in-law or you, Jia Yuanchun, there’s no need to bring it up.”

Yuan Chun didn't move, but his voice trembled: "Yes, I will definitely report back to the empress to know."

He stood up and walked slowly to Yuan Chun.On her head was a hairpin of emerald jade, which looked plain and inconspicuous, but it was a fine emerald, even a concubine in the palace, even those who were not favored would not be able to get such a good thing.

"Emperor's sister-in-law understands it first, and you understand it is the second. There is no impenetrable wall in the world. If I don't move you now, I can't be sure of it in the future."

After saying this, King He Rui ordered her to retreat, and the palace door opened wide, Yuan Chun was led by the palace maid to retreat, and Xin Fu just entered.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw King He Rui standing on one side, stretching out his hand to pick the sweet-scented osmanthus in the Ruyi vase.

Xin Fu walked to his side, looked at the light yellow sweet-scented osmanthus on his fingertips, frowned and said: "The Empress is getting more and more anxious."

No matter when, you can't lose your consistent stability.The queen's various movements now make people sigh.Baba asked Jia Yuanchun to send the palace flowers, and the palace flowers were piled up by his sister-in-law. How can this be said?However, it took advantage of the time when the first prince and King He Rui were both present.So shallow, so obvious, it's ridiculous.

He lost strength in the movements between his fingers, a small sweet-scented osmanthus flower was pinched off and fell to the ground, Xin Fu gave him a soft handkerchief to wipe his hands.He took it and wiped his hands while saying: "Recently, the emperor has been using the fourth son more and more in the court, and the concubine Ming must be more domineering in the harem. The reason why the emperor treats the princes is a bowl of water. Now look at it." Falling to the fourth son of the emperor, the wife of the emperor will naturally pull two people to help."

Murong Yongkuan is the eldest son of the emperor, although he was congenitally blind, his mother Concubine Yuan was not allowed to be a concubine, but Concubine Yuan's father, Zuo Weimin, is now his mentor. He used to be the prince's tutor, and most of the literati in the court are his disciples now. .Even Lin Hai, who came to Beijing that day, was also taken care of by Zuo Weimin.His first wife, Jia Shi, was able to marry Lin Hai, and he also asked Zuo Weimin's first wife to go through the process.

King He Rui is the posthumous son of the former emperor, the youngest son of the present empress dowager, and the most trusted younger brother in the present.Its weight has already been calculated.Although he has not been in the capital these years, he holds the power of border defense.His military power should not be underestimated.

Neither of them was married, so the empress came up with this idea and pushed a Jia Yuanchun and a mother's sister-in-law out.After all, the world is so big, what could be softer than pillow wind?

"Emperor's sister-in-law is not bad at counting. She is good at every move. If she moves too quickly, she will lose her sense of proportion. Zuo Weimin and Lin Hai are now the confidantes of the emperor's brother among the literati. It is also a skill to be able to pinch them Let alone Jia Yuanchun. The Rongguo Mansion is declining day by day. Looking at the scenery outside, it is only a bag of grass inside. Jia Yuanchun is probably their last resort. .”

Xin Fu was puzzled: "Listen to what the prince said, the Rongguo Mansion is no longer a climate, so what's the use of the Empress holding Jia's Mansion?"

"Zuo Weimin and Lin Hai are real gentlemen, and those in Jia's mansion are real villains. Where the emperor wants a gentleman, and to deal with subordinates, villains are often better than gentlemen." Don't say anything else, order the subordinates to do things, to make them do Where does the money come from?Those who can change the way and use the side door to get money out of it are only the ears of a real villain.

"I originally thought that the reason why the Empress Dowager wanted to give her sister-in-law to the prince as a concubine, but now that I heard it, I realized that I was thinking about it."

King He Rui sneered and said: "I can be used by her now, and I can become her confidant's trouble in the future. If she wants to use the Jia family now, she must get rid of them decisively in the future." Princess He Rui has such a background, and King He Rui How can we aspire to the top position again?The empress has also taken great pains, and now this Yuan Chun's appearance is fair, but it's a pity that he has his own heart.

"It's a pity..." King He Rui curled his lips into a smile, and there was a trace of chill in his sigh. "Heartbroken wine, deadly beauty. If it were Zijing who came here, maybe I would agree to this beauty trick. After all, I would be happy with it. What's the matter now?"

Speaking of Lin Jue, Prince He Rui's brows revealed gentleness.

Up to this point, Xin Fu couldn't speak anymore, but lowered his head and listened to him muttering to himself.

"It's strange to say that Jia Yuanchun's complexion is not much worse than Zijing's, but I didn't feel any ripples when I saw her..."

It must be because of the fact that love is not what you like.

After finishing speaking, his eyes fell on the sweet-scented osmanthus in the vase.King He Rui couldn't help showing a smile, and told Xin Fu: "I remember that the sweet-scented osmanthus flowers in Concubine Yuan's Palace grow the best, you go and pick some."

Xin Fu agreed, and said with a smile: "When I moved to the palace, the storehouse of Yongfu Palace hadn't been emptied yet. The slaves remembered that there was still a pair of vases inside, which were rewarded on the double tenth birthday of the prince. The paintings on it It is also suitable for the occasion, and it is best to put osmanthus flowers in it. Uncle Lin must like it."

King He Rui glanced at her, but there was a smile in his eyes: "Xianshi Buqu probably taught you housekeeping skills before leaving the mansion, and you can guess everything accurately."

"My sister is kind-hearted, so she rewards me with this meal." Xin Fu still smiled, "I don't have any skills, but how can I serve the prince?"
