Favorite Concubine [Rebirth in Yuanchun]

Then Yuanchun took Daiyu's hand, looked at it carefully, and sighed to Jia Mu: "After all, it is connected by blood. As soon as I see my sister, I feel close."

The rest of Yingchun, Tanchun and Xichun were all standing there. Yuanchun met them one by one and asked, "Where is Baoyu?"

"Baoyu is now in school, and I have just sent someone to pick him up." Mrs. Wang hurriedly explained: "The family really didn't know you were coming back, otherwise they would have left him waiting for you."

Jia Yuanchun said: "Why should the family be so polite? They didn't say anything a long time ago, because they didn't want to work for you." She thought of seeing the decorations in the yard when she walked in, and said: "The festival is approaching, and the house is also in a hurry."

After finishing talking with everyone, Jia's mother asked Yuan Chun to talk with Mrs. Wang's mother and daughter.

"My son!" Without outsiders, Mrs. Wang didn't have to hold back, she hugged Yuan Chun in her arms, and pushed it away to look carefully, "How can you be so thin? In the palace... I guess I don't feel at home. , are you still used to eating?"

In fact, Yuan Chun was not very thin, and he also knew that his mother felt sorry for him, so he comforted him: "I'm fine, mother doesn't need to worry about it."

Mrs. Wang thought about it, and said, "Yes, I heard that His Highness brought you back?" She stared at Yuan Chun's beautiful and young face, and sighed quietly, "I don't know if it was your luck or..."

Yuan Chun was a little uncomfortable and stopped to start, and explained in a low voice: "Your Highness has business to go out, and because of the Mid-Autumn Festival, it is also on the way, but I just do good things and be considerate of my servants."

After hearing these words, Mrs. Wang didn't know whether she was more disappointed or relieved, she just said: "So that's how it is."

After a moment of silence, Yuan Chun suddenly felt uneasy, started another topic, and asked, "Is brother all right?"

Mrs. Wang came back to her senses, and said with a smile: "Zhu'er is fine now, thanks to you before entering the palace..." She thought of the past, her face was clouded, and she said: "I didn't go to the exam in order to recuperate. Let's talk about it in the next year."

Yuan Chun smiled and said, "That's good."

There was silence again.

"I saw the girl left behind by my aunt, but she looks pretty." Yuan Chun said again, "Can I still get along with you sisters at home?"

Mrs. Wang said indifferently: "She is also a young lady from Zhili's family. She is better than our family. When I was at Lin's family, there was a special girl who accompanied me to study." She patted Yuan Chun's hand, "Even when you were young, your family also Not so attentive."

Yuan Chun looked at his mother's face, and said with a smile: "Then do you want to love this little cousin more than your younger sisters?"

Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "It's enough to have an old lady who hurts her. I only have one Baoyu. Now both of them live with the old lady. Day and night, they are better for a while, and annoyed for a while... ..." Her voice paused here leisurely, she glanced at Yuan Chun, and said, "Look at me, it's rare for you to come back, and I only bother you with family matters."

Seeing her like this, Yuan Chun didn't know that his mother had some criticisms about Daiyu, she just didn't want to speak to her, but she was not in a hurry, and followed Mrs. Wang's words: "I just like to hear about family affairs..."

Mrs. Wang rubbed Yuan Chun's shoulders lovingly, because she told about everything in the family in detail, but there was a new pool in the courtyard, who was let out by the girl next to her, and the funny stories of the younger generations at home... The most natural or precious jade.

Just as he was talking, Baoyu came.

He didn't recognize his birth, so he came up to Yuan Chun very kindly and asked, "Hello, big sister."

Yuan Chun stroked the top of his hair and said with a gratified smile, "Baoyu has grown taller and sensible."

As soon as Baoyu came, the room suddenly became lively, and Yuan Chun didn't have to talk to him like he did just now, but only listened to his younger brother. When he thought about it carefully, it was Daiyu who talked the most in Baoyu's words.

The two of them are still young, and they can't talk about the relationship between men and women, but they just accompany each other every day, which is the most speculative.

Jia Yuanchun secretly sighed inwardly. In her last life, she followed her mother's wishes and ruined a destined couple.

After only talking for a while and eating a meal, it was already dusk, and it was said that Eunuch Gao had come.

Yuan Chun's heart sank, full of reluctance.

For a while, Xiao Gao was welcomed in by the housekeeper of Jia's mansion. When he arrived in the house, he greeted Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang, bowed his waist and asked Yuan Chun, "My servant greets Shi. Say hello."

Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Wang hurriedly expressed their thanks.

"Your Highness asked again, when Nushi is at home, are there still girls around? If so, two of them will come with our family to the palace, and they will serve Nushi as usual."

Jia Yuanchun never thought that the grandson of the emperor would be so attentive, and recalling the fate of the maid beside him in the previous life, he was both emotional and sad.

Mrs. Wang was overjoyed, and immediately asked someone to call the big girl who served Yuan Chun in the past.

Jia Yuanchun added, "The second-class maids who were in our courtyard that day were also summoned."

Baoqin, Tourmaline, and several second-class girls all came over.

From Mrs. Wang's point of view, all they need to do is tell them to pack a package and go to the palace. I don't know what my daughter is going to do.

Jia Yuanchun explained the reason again, because he asked: "Follow me into the palace, it is naturally cheaper to use it close to me, but I haven't been at home for two years, maybe if you don't want to go, tell me now, I will Then choose the one who is willing to go from the second-class girls."

Wang Xifeng watched from the side, thinking that this eldest sister-in-law must be kind-hearted, but the two maids, how respectable it is to bring them into the palace, to ask the servants if they are willing or not.She is smart, because she just watched with cold eyes and didn't speak.

Baoqin hurriedly said: "My servant is willing to go." When she knew about Bixi for nearly two years, she didn't say much, lest she said too much and made it difficult for Bixi.

Jia Yuanchun nodded, smiled and held the piano and stood up, "Go and pack your things."

Tourmaline did not speak.

Jia Yuanchun asked, "Tourma, what about you?" She looked at Tourma kneeling below, thinking about the events of her previous life, thinking that she had walked her own way, and she could only do this.

Tourmaline gritted her teeth, lay down on the ground and kowtowed three times.

Jia Yuanchun felt relieved.

Seeing that Tourmaline raised her head and looked around, she hesitated for a while. She lowered her gaze and said in a low voice, "Your servant... is willing to go too."

Jia Yuanchun looked at her with an indescribable disappointment, she smiled and said, "Since you both are willing, you can enter the palace with me."

On the way back, Jia Yuanchun was a little silent.

The emperor's grandson didn't speak at first, but after seeing her silent all the way, he couldn't help asking: "But what's the problem at home?"

Jia Yuanchun came back to his senses and said, "Not really. How could His Highness ask such a question."

The emperor's grandson glanced at her and said, "I see you are unhappy."

Jia Yuanchun touched his face subconsciously, and said with a smile, "Even I didn't notice it."

The emperor's grandson also seemed to find her behavior interesting, and took advantage of the situation to hold her hand on her cheek, and touched her cheek unavoidably.

Jia Yuanchun blushed and turned his head slightly to avoid it.

The emperor's grandson didn't think it was disobedient, so the two returned to the palace holding hands all the way.

***

Throughout the second half of the year, the emperor's grandson was very busy.

Preparing to promote the new rice seeds is just a small matter. Since Prince Jing took over the Ministry of Punishment, he has used some thunderous means.Over the past 20 years, officials in the DPRK and China have indeed had many problems, and they have complained a lot in the past six months.The officials who were tracked down by Prince Jing also had their own connections.

Some are under the Seventh Prince's family, some are under the former grandson's family after the deposed prince, some are related to several parties, and some are the trusted ministers of the old emperor.Thanks to Prince Jing, he was so ruthless, he was able to strike, and he was not afraid of offending others - his reputation among the officials in the court was not very kind.

Such a violent punishment, the Ministry of Punishment has achieved remarkable results.

When the new year came, the old emperor praised Prince Jing very much. Even the Mount Tai Mountain Conferment Ceremony, which was ordered by heaven on behalf of the emperor, was performed by Prince Jing.

This move made the empress dowager's position very embarrassing.

What does it mean to leave the direct line orthodoxy and let Prince Jing go?

Seeing Prince Jing's popularity among the officials decline, but his status in the old emperor's heart rises, the Seventh Prince can't sit still.He originally had the first batch of supporters because he was the emperor's most beloved son. Compared with the emperor's grandson, he was not orthodox, and the only thing he could rely on—in the final analysis, was the emperor's love.

As the New Year approached, the servants of the Seventh Prince also came to Taisun's side.

Jia Yuanchun was able to stay in the study, but she didn't pay attention to it, she only saw and heard it occasionally, but she also understood that the seventh prince wanted to join forces with the grandson, and first got rid of Prince Jing before talking.To say that the Seventh Prince is really full of energy, he is still in the northwest camp, and his confidantes are still running around in the capital, without delay on either side.

After the new year, on the second day of the junior high school, the grandson of the emperor brought Yuanchun back to Jia's mansion.

Yuan Chun knew it on the way this time, and persuaded with a smile: "I know what your highness is thinking. I only came back during the Mid-Autumn Festival. It's a bit unbearable to go too often."

The emperor's grandson laughed and said, "Why can't you bear it? If you can afford it, you can bear it." He laughed again: "Besides, do you know what day it is?"

"What day is it, isn't it the second day of junior high school?"

"It is said that the second day of junior high school is a good day for girls to go back to their mother's house to get together." The emperor's grandson laughed muffledly, his eyes fixed on Yuan Chun.

Jia Yuanchun understood, blushed immediately, and said softly, "The majestic grandson, who is used to speaking frivolously, is she not ashamed?"

"It doesn't matter if you are lonely or not, as long as you like it or not." The emperor's grandson laughed more and more.

The two chatted and laughed, the emperor's grandson straightened his face and said, "It's just that you have to accompany Gu to a place first."

The carriage stopped at a Buddhist temple.

Jia Yuanchun seemed to be aware of it, looked at Taisun, and saw that his smile just now had disappeared, and his face had an extremely rare gloomy look.She didn't care about anything else at the moment, and she called softly with some worry: "Your Highness."

The emperor's grandson took a deep breath and went to the Buddhist temple.

After the death of the abandoned prince, the abandoned prince and concubine lived away from the world, known as Immortal Master Jingci.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the only Buddhist temple that the emperor's grandson would go to was the one where Immortal Master Jingci lived.

The two sisters-in-law were guarding the main hall, and when they met the grandson of the emperor, they clasped together and saluted.

"May I ask where Immortal Master Jingci is? Maybe we can meet today?"

Jia Yuanchun heard the excitement under the emperor's grandson's voice, and couldn't help getting closer to him with some worry.

The sister-in-law went back and forth, lowered her head and restrained her face, and said: "Benefactor, please follow me."

The grandson of the emperor replied in disbelief, walked two steps and then turned around and said, "You come here alone." These words were addressed to Yuan Chun.

Jia Yuanchun was a little surprised, but also a little nervous. She thought that such a mother and son meeting the emperor's grandson would definitely not want to be seen by others.

Perhaps it was because the surprise on her face was too obvious, the emperor's grandson showed a little smile, "What are you thinking, come here."

The place where Immortal Master Jingci lives is clean and quiet, a small clean courtyard, and a simple meditation room.

One altar, one futon, one Bodhisattva statue; one door, one window, and one nun.

It's a nun who has lost her hair.

The emperor's grandson looked at her in shock, and called out hoarsely for a long time, "Mother's queen." Then she knelt down with a plop.

He knelt, and Jia Yuanchun had no reason not to kneel.

Immortal Master Jingci neither stopped her nor evaded being rude, she just said in a harmonious voice: "The poor nun is already an outsider, so the benefactor will give up the worldly title and call me Jingci."

The emperor's grandson was already in tears, so he called out again, "Mother..." After a moment of silence, as if suppressing his emotions, he changed his tune and said, "Immortal Master Jingci."

Immortal Master Jingci smiled slightly, "The benefactor got up and spoke."

The emperor's grandson remained silent for a moment before getting up.

Immortal Master Jingci said slowly: "You have been asking to see me every ten days this year, and I have never responded to you. This time when the opportunity comes, I will see you once, and I don't need to see you again."

The emperor's grandson was greatly shocked, and the pain could not be concealed on his face.

Immortal Master Jingci looked away, looked at Jia Yuanchun quietly for a moment, and then smiled and said: "This female benefactor is intelligent in nature and has kind thoughts in her heart. This is very good, and I feel relieved."

Jia Yuanchun didn't know what to say.

The emperor's grandson wiped away his tears and said in a hoarse voice: "The immortal master wants to clean up, so I... also... I'm here just to see it, and I will never disturb the immortal master..."

Immortal Master Jingci was still very kind, but his tone was very firm, "I won't see you even if you come. You shoulder the responsibility of all the people in the world, how can you be obsessed with such trivial matters. You go."

The emperor's grandson stood where he was, unwilling to leave.

But Immortal Master Jingci had already closed her eyes and began to recite scriptures. Her voice was clear and peaceful, and she said: "May when I attain Bodhi in the next life, my body will be like glass, clear inside and out, pure and free from blemishes."
