Red Mansion: Taming the Overlord

The rules of this dynasty are strict, and after entering the palace, they are isolated from the outside world, no matter how difficult it is to see each other, even the concubines are mostly like this.However, the emperor and the empress dowager were sympathetic, first they allowed the concubine to visit their relatives, and then because there was a concubine in the palace who was not feeling well, they stopped singing and dancing and feasting. To describe Tianlun.

If not, Jia Yuanchun might not have been able to communicate with the outside of the palace, and it is even more impossible for him to have the so-called marriage decree.

It's just a Yizhi, but she has been in the palace for many years, so she naturally knows the truth of being cautious, and she is determined not to leak the news about this kind of thing, otherwise she, a little concubine, will act recklessly and put the emperor, empress, and empress dowager on the throne. where?

Therefore, Yuan Chun's idea was to bring Aunt Xue and Baochai with her the next time Mother Jia and others entered the palace. ——This is actually against the rules, but it is not incommensurable.At that time, when she brought this matter up to Aunt Xue, even if she wanted to come to the Xue family, she would not be able to refuse.And then reward Baochai with a few things that can only be found in the palace, and the marriage will naturally be considered settled.

She felt that there was nothing wrong with this arrangement, but she still cared a little bit in her heart, thinking of trying to lure the emperor to come to her once, at least to clear the matter.I don't need anything else, I just mentioned that I have a younger brother in my family, who has reached the age of marriage, and Yunyun is seeing each other at home, and registered with His Majesty, even if something happens in the future, she will not be afraid.

However, after I sent someone to inquire, I found out that it was not convenient for him to enter the palace with the county king today, and he is at His Majesty's place at the moment.

She didn't take it seriously at first, but when it was time for dinner, she heard that the prince and the county king made a fuss about His Majesty, and now he is kneeling in front of the palace gate to plead guilty, it seems that the matter is not small.

Jia Yuanchun fell in love with the Xue family, half of it was because of his friendship with Princess Jingping's mansion. After all, this is a relationship that ordinary people can't even climb.So at this moment, when I heard that the matter was related to the county king, I was naturally very concerned.

It's a pity that she couldn't find out such news even if she wanted to, so she could only listen to all kinds of gossip and worry secretly.I want to send someone to inform Princess Jingping, but I am afraid that it will be too abrupt and attract the attention of others.

Fortunately, Princess Jingping soon got the news and entered the palace, and then closed the door to discuss with the emperor, and the county king was also called in, so it should be no problem.

However, in fact, the atmosphere in the palace where the emperor lives is not as good as everyone thought.

With a cold face, the emperor pointed at Princess Jingping and said, "You are such a good son!"

"What's the matter? Brother Yi is the one who knows how to measure himself best. How did you make His Majesty so angry?" Princess Jingping asked with a smile, then turned to look at Zhao Ziyi, "Aren't you What did you do wrong?"

"You don't have to play dumb, if you don't know about this matter, he wouldn't have the guts to come to me and speak up!" the emperor said coldly.

Princess Jingping gave a coy smile, and bit the bullet to deny it, "Your Majesty misunderstood, my sister really didn't know about it!"

The emperor sat down on his back, "You just let him go! All the noble ladies in the capital, which one does he like, but why..." At this point, he suddenly stopped talking, slowly calmed down, and said, " I don't even talk about you, you just let him talk to the emperor, if the old man agrees, I have nothing to say. But it is absolutely impossible for me to order a marriage!"

"A decree for marriage?" Princess Jingping was really surprised this time, she turned to look at her son, "What's going on?"

Telling this kind of thing is actually not good for Baochai's boudoir reputation, so Zhao Ziyi didn't say it before, but now seeing the emperor's firm attitude, he knew he had to say it, so he explained everything one by one.

"The prestige of this Jia family is very great." Princess Jingping was furious when she heard the words, "I don't know when I will be qualified to issue such an imperial concubine?" She said, turning her head to look at the emperor, "Does His Majesty not care about this matter?"

If it was just Zhao Ziyi's own marriage, the emperor had hundreds of ways to stop him, but since it involved the Jia family, it also involved his own future plans, so the emperor couldn't help but ignore it.

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance what the Jia family's intention is to marry the Xue family.Judging from what Zhao Ziyi said, the Xue family was unwilling.But if the Jia family is really asked to come up with the so-called "imperial concubine's decree", the marriage will come true.

So he really can't ignore this matter.

The emperor laughed back angrily, "Don't think that I don't know what your plans are because of this matter! I have my own opinion about the Xiande Concubine. But I still have the same idea about Brother Yi's marriage, or you can go and talk about it." Move the father and let him agree with the old man; or don't mention this matter again."

Princess Jingping sighed in her heart, knowing that the emperor would definitely have trouble getting through this matter.In fact, I don't blame him. It is the emperor who really pays attention to the difference of family status.And His Majesty is with the Emperor... If this marriage is to happen, he will inevitably be reprimanded by the Emperor, and he may think that he is deliberately suppressing the sisters. At that time, it will only be more difficult to do things.

This matter cannot be rushed, thinking so, Princess Jingping planned to signal her son to leave first, and slowly figured it out.Unexpectedly, Zhao Ziyi stepped forward at this moment and said, "Your Majesty, it is precisely because the Emperor will not agree to this matter that His Majesty should agree."

"Brother Yi!" The eldest princess immediately raised her voice to stop when she heard the words.

However, the emperor had already heard it, and he turned to stare at Zhao Ziyi, "What did you say?"

Zhao Ziyi knelt down and said, "We all know your majesty's difficulties, but I think that your marriage is exactly the opportunity your majesty needs."

The emperor's face slowly changed.

He knew what Zhao Ziyi meant.The emperor is getting old, and nostalgia for the old love has to save face, which makes the general honorable and old ministers feel a little lawless.He has been determined to suppress this group of people since he ascended the throne. It would be best to eradicate the hidden dangers directly, but he couldn't find the right time.

On the top is suppressed by the emperor, there are a few brothers in the middle who did not get the throne and thus provoke the emperor's guilt and favor, and there is a group of courtiers with their own thoughts. No matter what he does, he only feels constrained.And this incident affects the whole body, once it starts, it can't stop, and it can't bear any accidents.That's why he endured it for the past few years, just to find and even create opportunities.

And what Zhao Ziyi said just now...

Putting aside the friendship between each other, this is indeed a more suitable breakthrough. ——Whether it was the brothers or the honored and former ministers, it was just relying on their "status" to make him dare not move lightly.But what if he even "moves" Princess Jingping and Prince Hejun, whom the emperor loves so much and who are even close to him?

——This marriage was requested by Zhao Ziyi himself, but others didn't know it, and they would only think that he deliberately suppressed Princess Jingping, so he appointed the merchant's daughter as his wife for Prince Hejun.Even they are not spared, let alone others?This is just a warning to some people.It would be great if they could settle down, but if they were not, the emperor would naturally be able to do it.

As for the so-called reprimand and infamy, if there is such an opportunity, the emperor will naturally not care about it.After all, from the day he took the throne, he knew that sooner or later he would have to face such a situation.As long as he can achieve his goal, he is naturally not afraid.

The emperor looked at Zhao Ziyi with complicated eyes, "Do you know what you are talking about?"

"My nephew adores the eldest daughter of the Xue family, and please uncle to fulfill her." Zhao Ziyi played a card of affection.

The emperor laughed, "You child, you were the most courageous when you were young, and you are not inferior when you grow up! Now that you have made up your mind, I naturally want to be beautiful as an adult."

He smiled, and the air in the hall seemed to be a little lighter. Princess Jingping let out a sigh of relief, and said quickly, "This kid is reckless, and I can't control him anymore. He has never thought about it since he was a child." Yes, I have seen countless stunning beauties, and none of them want to marry back, and everyone has worked so hard on this, now that he can settle down on his own, it is God's blessing."

……

Jia Yuanchun didn't know what Princess Jingping said to the emperor, but they left, and the concubines who had just sent someone to inquire about the emperor's news received the reprimand from the emperor and ordered them to stay in their respective palaces. I spent January behind closed doors.

In this way, the things that were discussed before can only be postponed.

After the Jia family received the news, they were panicked for a while.But after hearing that Yuan Chun was not the only one like this, he felt relieved.The law does not blame the public, and it's not a big deal, so it's not a big deal if you think about it.A month is not too long, and it is not impossible to wait.

However, after discussing in private, he still decided to go and talk to Aunt Xue first.Perhaps as long as there is a little wind, and even without entering the palace, the Xue family will agree?In this way, there is no need for the working lady, after all, her life in the palace is not easy.

So Mrs. Wang took three girls from Jia's family to Xue's house for a visit this day.

When Baoyu heard the news, he also clamored to go.

Last time the old lady promised him that she would keep Daiyu, but she left as soon as she turned around.Baoyu has been unhappy about this for a long time, and it has only gotten better in the past few days.He didn't know that Daiyu was living in Shizhong Temple now, so he thought it was at Xue's house, so when he heard that he was going to visit, he immediately pestered Mrs. Wang to follow her.

If it was normal, Madam Wang would not be able to be pestered by him, so she agreed.But now that Baochai and Baoyu are determined to settle this marriage, it is inconvenient for Baochai and Baoyu to meet again.Besides, the son I gave birth to knew that Baoyu wanted to follow Daiyu because he was worried about Daiyu, and she would never allow it!

So in the end only three girls came.Baochai received them and talked in his yard, and Mrs. Wang and Aunt Xue were alone there. After exchanging a few pleasantries, they changed the topic to this.

Aunt Xue knew the reason why He Junwang often came and walked.But before they invited someone to come to propose marriage, she could only pretend not to know, no matter how happy and proud she was, she had to cover it up, so when Mrs. Wang asked, she pretended to be worried and complained a few words .

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Wang turned her head and talked about her precious jade. Aunt Xue recalled it, and she couldn't help feeling mixed feelings in her heart.

At first, it was not that she was not optimistic about Daiyu, but at that time the meaning of Jia's family was very vague. Mrs. Wang had intentions, but she also said that the old lady valued Daiyu - Aunt Xue naturally understood this attitude of selling for a price, otherwise He will not be persuaded by Xue Pan to go back to Jinling.When she came to the capital again, she was not very happy when Jia's family talked about borrowing money and marriage together.

It seems that I should have given out a few hundred thousand taels of silver, and brought a daughter in, or took advantage of Jia's family. How can there be such a reason in this world?After thinking about it, Aunt Xue became indifferent to this matter.

Afterwards, Madam Wang didn't mention it again, she thought it was an idiot, but now she only hoped that someone from the eldest princess' mansion would come to propose marriage, but who would have thought that Madam Wang brought it up again?

She smiled and said, "This is a joke that the children used to tell when they were young. Now that they are grown up, sister should stop making such jokes. Baoyu is an excellent child with a bright future. It's not that I belittle my own children, It's just that Baochai followed her father's temperament. She is too strong and doesn't know how to turn around. I'm afraid I won't be able to get along with Baoyu. I'm also very worried. With her like this, I'm afraid I can only find someone she can control. , with her brother watching, she will never suffer."

The implication is that unless Mrs. Wang is willing to let her son be restrained, otherwise this marriage will be forgotten.

Mrs. Wang was not too happy when she heard that.Her precious jade is good everywhere, what kind of lady can't marry?The reason why Baochai likes Baochai is because they are close to each other and the Xue family can help. Aunt Xue said that, it seems that the Xue family wants to dominate the Jia family. How can there be such a reason in the world?

Mrs. Wang has always been proud that she married better than this younger sister, and her husband's family is prominent and has an official status.When Aunt Xue used to be a girl, she always followed her lead, and now she should be even more so.

In her idea, when Baochai gets married, she will naturally be virtuous in every way and take care of Baoyu. Is there any reason to control her husband in turn?

However, thinking about the empress in the palace, and thinking about Princess Jingping's mansion that the Xue family had befriended, she finally endured, and said with a smile, "Sister's words are wrong, daughters marry and follow their husbands, this has been the case since ancient times. Besides, if the son-in-law does not make progress in the future, he will be controlled. What's the point? With Bao girl's appearance, you are not afraid of wronging her. I will tell you the truth. If Bao girl comes to our house, I will treat her naturally Just like your own daughter, you know Baoyu's temperament, you can't lose her. Besides..."

"Besides, the empress in the palace is also very appreciative of Bao girl. It's just that we are old and confused, and I think the empress's vision is right. With her watching, what is my sister worried about?"

As soon as Aunt Xue heard it, she knew that Jia's family had come prepared.If he refuses again, he might offend the Xiande Concubine in the palace.But it was impossible for her to agree, and she didn't have an idea for a while, so she had to rack her brains to find a topic to delay the matter, and discuss it with her children later.

But before she could find a good reason, she heard a commotion outside, and then Tong Xi dashed into the room without a trace of demeanor, and before she could catch her breath, she said quickly, "Madam, Madam, someone is coming from the palace! "
