Mother Jia of the Red Chamber is Unkind

Smart people will use the hands of others to eradicate obstacles without leaving traces.There are many such people in the palace, who are jealous, scheming, and extremely cunning.

Since the beginning of the emperor's ascension to the throne, there have been four concubines who have stayed in the concubine's position safely and have lived safely until now.The four concubines have been able to stand in the palace for a long time, which has its own merits.

Concubine Yi has a boneless waist and has superb dancing skills; Concubine Hui is the best at cooking soup; Concubine Rong is good at cooking soup; Concubine Rong has a charm in her bones, and it is said that her bed skills are very good; Concubine De is a flower of interpretation. Always know how to cater to the emperor with the most appropriate words at the most appropriate time.

Concubine Xiande is good at poetry and songs, or playing the piano, which is what most women in the palace are best at, but it seems mediocre.

Being favored for the first time depends on freshness.It is common for the emperor to think about the freshness and lack of merit, and leave it behind.What's more, Concubine Xiande is pregnant now, so she has long since withdrawn her sign to serve her bed.If the emperor can't think of her, no one will think of her again.

Although the emperor occasionally came to visit her recently, Yuan Chun was not willing to be satisfied with it.The frequency is getting less and less, how can she not worry.Yuan Chun even considered whether to catch a cold on purpose, to get a minor illness, and to attract the emperor's attention.But she was also afraid of damaging the fetus in her womb, so the loss outweighed the gain.Yuan Chun had no choice but to seek advice from his mother, Mrs. Wang, who was outside the palace.

Mrs. Wang is now able to sit comfortably in the position of the second wife of the Rong Mansion, most likely relying on the status of the daughter in the palace, the empress.Even for self-protection, Mrs. Wang has to do her best to help Yuan Chun, not to mention she is still counting on Yuan Chun to turn her back in the future.But Mrs. Wang really doesn't know about pleasing men.If she had known, she wouldn't have had such an argument with Jia Zheng earlier.

When Mrs. Wang was frowning, she suddenly saw Wang Xifeng smiling and bringing someone to give her spring clothes.

"Earlier I sent someone to ask my wife to choose the material, and my wife let me make the decision. I didn't know how to choose the best material for my wife. My wife will see if this style can be done. If I don't like it, I will turn around and call people Do it." Wang Xifeng said politely.Her last sentence is false, and according to Mrs. Wang's current situation, she has to wear it whether she likes it or not.

Mrs. Wang looked at the material of the clothes, and they were good, but the colors and patterns were a bit old-fashioned. It seemed that the old lady and Mrs. Xing had left them for her.Mrs. Wang pursed her lips, but she didn't dare to show her displeasure, she laughed and said that she was bothering Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng smiled, sat down, picked up the tea that the servant girl had just served, put it into her mouth, took a sip, and grudgingly swallowed the tea with frowns.

Wang Xifeng immediately reprimanded the servant girl Jin Chuan: "What kind of old tea is this, the new Qimen tea, didn't I ask someone to weigh five catties and bring it here? Didn't I tell you to eat it in your dreams?"

Jin Chuan hurriedly made amends: "Slaves dare not!"

Mrs. Wang smiled, and said awkwardly: "Don't blame her, I brought that tea back when I went back to my mother's house. I don't have anyone around here, so it's useless to keep it."

"That's the reason. If my wife wants to give tea to someone, she can just order someone to come to me to get it. How can I suffer myself." Wang Xifeng said, and ordered Ping'er to take the four catties she had shared.

Mrs. Wang said a few words politely, and then she stopped declining.Anyway, where is Wang Xifeng so much, what's 'her four catties', the devil would believe it!

"How is Baoyu?" Wang Xifeng asked.

Mrs. Wang's face turned pale in an instant, and she pursed her lips slightly, but she still stubbornly didn't want Wang Xifeng to find out her embarrassment. "It's okay, the old lady is very strict and never let him step out of the front yard. The old man didn't see him anymore, saying that if he can't change, he will never see him again. Alas, I don't have the chance to see him these days. He, but Mingyan came to me twice, crying to me, saying that he was talking about his sisters, refused to eat, and became skinny."

Wang Xifeng comforted: "My wife, don't be too sad, this child Baoyu can still be disciplined and come back."

Mrs. Wang looked at Wang Xifeng in surprise, then put away the hatred in her eyes, and nodded her head forbearance.What does it mean to be disciplined again?His son didn't make any serious mistakes at all. God knows, what does the old lady do all day long, she has to control this child so strictly.Once Baoyu really has something good or bad, she must fight the old lady desperately!

Seeing Mrs. Wang like that, Wang Xifeng couldn't bear it any longer, so she gave up the beginning of the 'chat' and was going to directly explain the purpose of coming here. "I heard that nobleman Wan in the palace is not feeling well?"

"Yes." Mrs. Wang has also heard the news.

"Tsk tsk, sorry to see you, I heard that the eighteenth prince is only three years old." Wang Xifeng said regretfully, clutching her stomach.

"Hmm." Mrs. Wang was absent-minded, she couldn't even care about her own daughter, it would be pitiful to take care of that noble person.

Seeing that she hadn't awakened yet, Wang Xifeng smiled, and immediately got up to leave.She went straight to Jiamu's place, and yelled to the old lady as soon as she entered the door: "My granddaughter-in-law doesn't have that ability, so I have to rely on you, old lady, to say a word. A word from you is more effective than a hundred words from me."

Jiamu happily pulled her to sit next to her, looked at Wang Xifeng's swollen belly, and asked Wang Xifeng how her appetite was recently.

"Don't worry, my ancestors. I can eat and drink. Except that my taste has changed a little. I like to eat very sour and spicy food. Nothing else."

"Everyone says sour and hot girl, listen to what you mean, you have a dragon and a phoenix in your womb." Jia Mu joked.

Wang Xifeng waved his hands again and again: "My ancestors will soon forgive me, the news has really spread, if I can't give birth to two, I will be ashamed."

Jia Mu smiled: "No one will blame you. It's just that you came here, and I have something to discuss with you. In a few days, it's the girl's birthday, and it's 15 years old. Let's make it more lively. She's the housekeeper, but this matter I can't ask her to do it herself, but I have to trouble you, a big belly, to make a fuss."

"Look at what you said, this is not tossing, it's clearly for everyone to have fun together." Wang Xifeng laughed happily, seeing that there was no one around now, only her mother-in-law, Mrs. Xing, and Baoyu's nurse, Nanny Li, were there.Wang Xifeng tentatively discussed Yingchun's marriage with Jia's mother. "It's quick to do the math. It's already fifteen. Shouldn't we make preparations earlier and find a suitable family?"

"Yes, I figured it out." Mother Jia turned around and handed the roster to Wang Xifeng and Mrs. Xing.The two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came forward to check, and they turned out to be the situation of unengaged aristocratic families of all ages in the capital.The age ranges from nine to 17 years old.

Wang Xifeng and Mrs. Xing looked at their hands trembling, and both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at Jia's mother in wonder.Is this age span too big?

Jia's mother laughed: "There are two younger sisters under Ying girl. It's just an investigation, so I will investigate them all at once, which will save trouble."

Suddenly, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law nodded in agreement, admiring Jia's mother's thoughtfulness.

"There are all kinds of high and low here, and I have probably ruled them out. These five are good, and they need to be carefully investigated."

Wang Xifeng nodded, glanced at what Jia's mother was pointing at, and immediately glanced at the head of the third son of the Yin family. "Yin Mansion, but the home of Mr. Yin in Shuntian Mansion?"

Mother Jia nodded.

Mrs. Xing laughed when she heard that, her eyes lit up and she said: "I heard the master mentioned this Mr. Yin, he is a very powerful person."

"The Shuntian Mansion is in charge of the capital, and at the same time it is linked to the Six Departments and the Shang Study Room. The position of the governor is not ordinary. He is a third-rank official with a real job. Although the third son, Yin Shang, is a descendant of his stepmother, he is also considered a legitimate son. In this way , we are still climbing high."

Wang Xifeng nodded, with disappointment and helplessness flashing in his eyes, "That's great, I'm a bit reluctant. The age is also suitable, just one year older than the second sister."

Jia Mu smiled meaningfully: "It's easy to say, let's see the people first."

"Looking at people?" Wang Xifeng and Mrs. Xing asked in surprise together.

Just as Jia's mother was about to speak, she suddenly heard that Mrs. Wang had come.Mother Jia glanced at Nanny Li, and Nanny Li immediately retreated to the ear room to hide.

Mrs. Wang greeted Jia Mu with a smile, and then she sat beside Mrs. Xing peacefully, nodding her head, pretending to be simple and honest, and went to listen to what everyone said.

Wang Xifeng couldn't help asking Mother Jia if she had any plans.

Mother Jia smiled mysteriously: "I'm still waiting, waiting for news from the boss. If the matter is settled, there will be something to do with this marriage."

"The old ancestor is cheating again." Wang Xifeng laughed, and Mrs. Xing also laughed.Mrs. Wang didn't know what they were talking about, but she also smirked twice.

"I heard that someone from the palace sent a message today. How is your mother doing in the palace?" Mother Jia asked Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang smiled and nodded, reporting good news but not bad news, detailing how Yuan Chun was favored in the palace, how the Empress Dowager valued her and so on.Mrs. Wang was blowing big words out of her mouth, but she swallowed all the bitterness in her stomach.In fact, since Yuanchun became pregnant, the number of times the emperor visited her palace has decreased significantly, and it seems that the queen mother does not wait to see Yuanchun.

She must not lose her grace!

It's just that Mrs. Wang really can't think of any way to make Yuan Chun attract the emperor's attention.

Mother Jia chuckled twice, and never asked about Yuan Chun's situation.

Wang Xifeng hurriedly said to Madam Xing and Mother Jia: "Daughter-in-law heard that the nobleman Wan in the palace is not in good health now, and it took a while to keep her body. The eighteenth prince is only three years old. It's a pity to see him."

"The Holy Majesty has always been kind, and he will show special love to the son who lost his mother. I'm afraid that when the time comes, the concubines will rush to raise him. Don't worry, it's important to take good care of what's in your belly." Jiamu half-jokingly said, When speaking, he deliberately glanced at Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang's complexion was moved, her eyes rolled wildly, obviously she had listened to Jia's mother's words just now.

What a great idea!

She sent a message to Yuan Chun, telling her to put all her effort into taking care of her to please the Eighteenth Prince, and establish a good relationship with this little guy in advance. It just so happened that she was pregnant and she was full of motherly brilliance. Would the emperor not be moved when he saw her?Furthermore, the little prince will be raised under Yuanchun's name in the future, and the emperor will have more reasons to go to Yuanchun Palace.

This is really a great thing to kill two birds with one stone!

She is so smart!

Mrs. Wang clapped her hands happily when she came out of Jiamu Flower Hall.If it wasn't for the maids around her, she would definitely have jumped up laughing.

Within five days, news spread from the palace that nobleman Wan had died.

"How could it be so fast? The cough she has is a chronic disease. It just flares up. With the good medicine in the palace, it won't be a problem if it drags on for three to two months." Mother Jia wondered.

Wang Xifeng looked at Jia Mu, and the answer was already given in her eyes.

Mother Jia held her breath, was silent for a while, and cursed fiercely: "You don't want to die!"

"If the girl continues like this, I'm afraid it will really drag our family into it." Wang Xifeng said worriedly, looking at Jia Yuanchun's present, it was like seeing her past, greedy for profit, confused by money and status.Calculating, I am afraid that in the end, not only will he kill himself, but he will also implicate his clansmen!

……

Two days later, the emperor decreed that the eighteenth prince should be raised under the name of Concubine Xiande.The eighteenth prince lost his mother when he was young, so the emperor had to check and inquire every day these days.For a while, Concubine Xiande's bedroom became the place where the emperor often came and went.

Pregnant, but still dominating the emperor and not letting go!

The concubine Xiande aroused the common anger of the women in the harem.Among the newly promoted nobles in the palace, two were promoted and trained by the empress herself.With his backing, he is courageous and dares to do anything.

It happened that one day it was cold in spring, and some water was poured on the road in the early morning, and it froze early in the morning.

Several nobles came here to invite Concubine Xiande to go to the queen to pay her respects.Yuan Chun wants to show his cuteness in front of the emperor, so he will definitely go.After walking a few steps with the nobles, she slipped and fell down.The rest of the nobles were not to be outdone, and they all collapsed.

Yuanchun suffered from abdominal pain and bleeding. When the imperial physician came, it was already too late.

The queen arrived first, interrogated the nobles, and finally attributed the fault to the ice.The few nobles just fined them, reprimanded them a few words, and went away embarrassingly.When the emperor came and asked to be held accountable, the empress briefly stated the situation and let it go.The fault was all down to the ice, but after all, no one found out who was splashing water on the road to make ice.

Yuanchun had a miscarriage, and she was heartbroken, and the root of the disease fell.

When Mrs. Wang heard the news at home, it was like a bolt from the blue, and she cried so loudly that she was more sad than anyone else.Jia Zheng was also sad, but there was nothing he could do.When Baoyu heard the news, he felt unspeakably sad and sad, and finally vomited a few mouthfuls of blood in depression, and passed out.

Nanny Li brought someone to clean up the house, looking down at the pool of blood on the ground, it seemed that something had been mixed with it.Nanny Li had a heart, she dipped her hands in the water, and after rinsing it in the water, it turned out to be green stone slag glowing with green light.

Nanny Li panicked and was overjoyed immediately. She ran out crazily to report to Mother Jia.

At the gate of the courtyard, Nanny Li bumped into the servant Qian Sheng.

Nanny Li scolded him with a smile: "Don't look at the door, why are you wandering around here?"

"Oh, it's a big trouble. The elder master and the second master are not at home, the second wife is like that, and Uncle Wang insists on coming to the door. How can this be good."

Uncle Wang?Nanny Li thought about it, and asked in surprise, "Prince Teng is back?"

Qian Sheng nodded and said with a sad face, "He was so angry that he called us to see the old lady as soon as he got off the horse."
