Queen's Road in the Red House

Yuanyang suppressed a smile, and said solemnly: "Sister Moran, you take the maids and come out with me, these two adults need to check carefully."

Mo Ran looked at Daiyu, and found that the girl's face was wandering away.

She lightly supported Fu Daiyu's arm suspiciously: "Girl? Is this servant here to serve you?"

Only then did Daiyu come back to her senses: "Let's take them outside and watch - there's no need for tea, this 'adult' doesn't drink tea."

Mo Ran is confused, isn't this too rude.But seeing that the person in charge standing at the bottom of the stairs didn't look angry, he had no choice but to take Xiao Luo back full of doubts.

Since Daiyu chose the two of them, no one else entered Daiyu's inner room.And Shaojingxuan's courtyard is not as relaxed as Rongguo Mansion, the little maids are not allowed to walk around and laugh at will, they are all lined up in groups of two and guarded in their positions, and cannot act alone.

Mother Ge directly treated Shao Jingxuan as if she was in the palace and admonished everyone, and the effect was remarkable.

It was summer, and Moran Xiaoluo let Yuanyang to a cool place under the porch, fanned her, and asked sincerely: "Sister Yuanyang, what are these two adults coming from? The old lady received them personally, even our girls So surprised?"

Xiaoluo was quick-witted: "We girls still know one of them, and he blurted out calling her Empress, is it the eunuchs in charge of His Highness the Fourth Highness?"

Yuanyang suppressed a smile and waved to the two of them: "Anyway, you are all going to enter the palace, and I will tell you if you know sooner or later. But you all cover your mouths first, lest you cry out later."

Xiao Luo pouted: "Sister looks down on us too much! I have seen the old inner minister come to the mansion to announce the imperial decree that day. That is the eunuch in charge of the palace. Could these two be more powerful than the old inner minister?"

Yuanyang nodded: "That is His Highness the Fourth Highness himself." Then he quickly reached out and covered the mouths of the two of them, Mo Ran and Xiao Luo could only stare in surprise and fear.

Yuanyang felt balanced.

Just now in Rongqing Hall, Jia Min was so shocked that he dropped a blue and white lotus cup with broken branches. It's a pity that the whole set of lotus tea set is missing.

Xiaoluo pulled Yuanyang's hand away and lowered the volume, but she couldn't hold back her shock, and asked the same question as Jia Min: "Your Majesty Fourth Highness, how can you pretend to be an eunuch!"

Isn't this taboo!

--

In the room, Daiyu sat on a wooden chair made of Eight Immortals pear blossoms: "You're doing something like this again! I'm afraid that Eunuch Qin's whisk will be used by the emperor to reprimand you again."

Outside the house is Wang Zhong's dedicated gatekeeper.

Xin Hongcheng said with a smile, "I've made arrangements this time, so I won't be discovered by my father." Then he walked to the table and poured a cup of tea: "Are you really angry? You won't even drink the tea."

Daiyu moved the teacup in front of her: "This is my teacup." Then she took a rhinoceros-horned Chilong cup from the Duobao Pavilion, which was usually placed for enjoyment, and scalded it with boiling water before continuing to serve tea: "Your Majesty, please use this."

Due to the hot weather, Xin Hongcheng walked all the way from the second gate, and he couldn't help pulling his collar.

Daiyu asked, "Is it hot?"

Seeing him nodding, Daiyu couldn't help laughing and said, "If you are told to dress like this, the inner eunuch's clothes are not as breathable and comfortable as the prince's regular clothes."

Xin Hongcheng saw a white jade fan on the table, so he took it and fanned himself: "No way, the only ones who can see you now are the inner eunuchs and palace maids. Choose one, I can't wear a skirt and put on makeup to see you You."

Hearing what he said, Daiyu couldn't help but look solemn: "That's right, why are you going to such lengths to see me? Could it be that the empress is in poor health again?"

After the winter, the queen's health improved greatly, but in the first two months, because of accepting the ceremony of the Great March, she wanted to do everything by herself, so she was a little tired.

From Xin Hongcheng's point of view, the queen probably suffers from chronic diseases such as high blood pressure. As long as her living habits improve and her emotions are not agitated, it will be fine.

Seeing that Daiyu was worried, he quickly shook his head: "No, the queen mother is fine. I want to see you because I am sick."

Daiyu was startled, and became anxious, and asked repeatedly: "Are you sick? What's wrong?"

Xin Hongcheng was serious: "Lovesickness."

Daiyu was both angry and funny, and took the fan back from his hand: "Then you must be sick!"

After all, time was running out, so Xin Hongcheng got back to business after making a joke: "I really have something to tell you. I can't make you confused and don't know who to marry." He looked into Daiyu's eyes and said seriously: " I am here today to tell you who I am."

Originally, he didn't plan to tell anyone this secret except for his kind.

He had already thought about it when he crossed over. Anyway, he is a prince and aristocrat, so there must be a mausoleum. When the time comes, he will be among the funeral objects in the tomb.I hope that people in future generations will discover the secret that he is a time traveler, and maybe it will cause a bloody storm in the archaeological world.

It was the secret he was destined to take to his grave.

Royal Palace.

The noble concubine who was ordered to assist the Sixth Palace called Concubine Zhuang: "The mascot for the fourth prince's wedding is wrong."

Concubine Zhuang was stunned: "Imperial Concubine, haven't we already checked the number together? There are 99 pairs of mascots in total."

The noble concubine pulled her face: "Although the number is right, the things are not good."

Concubine Zhuang was even more aggrieved: "Your Majesty, I have seen the concubines one by one, and there is absolutely no damage, cracks, or dirt."

The imperial concubine knocked on the table, motioning for Concubine Zhuang to come over and read the brochure.Concubine Zhuang picked it up, and her face became greener the more she looked at it: "...a pair of jasper, Fushou, and Yuanguang jade discs. Yes, the grapes on the bunch above are odd numbers?!"

Concubine Zhuang's hands were about to tremble: "Empress Empress..." This is too picky!

How do you know that the grape is singular?

The imperial concubine snorted: "It's not the empress, it's the emperor's intention."

The emperor was worried about the mascot that the queen and others had seen, so he ordered Qin Wu to see it.The first time Qin Wu reported that everything was in order, the emperor said: "It can be seen that you are not paying attention to what you do. If this is the case, I will go and have a look. If there is anything wrong, you will be careful."

Eunuch Qin was so frightened that he quickly brought a few young eunuchs back to work, and took out his piercing eyes to criticize.

Concubine Zhuang couldn't help being discouraged when she heard this: If the queen seeks trouble, she, a new favorite concubine, can still go to the emperor and cry, but Emperor Xuanhe himself seeks trouble, and Concubine Zhuang can only admit it.

but……

"Imperial concubine, it's only two months since the fourth prince's wedding, how can you have time to rework the mascot?"

Concubine Zhou Gui also slandered in her heart: The emperor is so eccentric!It is said that he proposed to the Supreme Emperor that the marriage of the son-in-law should be different from others, not according to the rules of the county king, but according to the rules of the prince.In the end, he was dismissed by the Supreme Emperor, saying that since he was not crowned king, he should treat all princes equally.

The emperor is not too embarrassing, so he can only find something else to vent his anger and improve his son's quality.

The noble concubine who was forced to be unlucky was very angry: You care so much about your son-in-law's marriage, but you directly make him the prince. How good it is to follow the etiquette of the prince's wedding, why bother us so much.

Concubine Zhuang sat beside her helplessly.

The two calculated the process, and it was really impossible to rebuild it, and even if it was a new one, it might not be in line with the emperor's wishes.

So the noble concubine said: "Forget it, the person who tied the bell has to be untied. It is useless for us to tell the emperor that if we can't do it, we will be reprimanded. Only if the fourth prince is asked to say it by himself, and there is no need to spend a lot of money to rebuild it, the emperor will listen to it." .”

Concubine Zhuang knew the elegant meaning when she heard the string song, and quickly flattered her: "The eldest prince is the eldest, and he has always been respected by the lower princes. For example, the fourth prince, although born noble and young, has many disputes with the second prince, but it is said that he treats His Royal Highness It is very respectful. It can be seen that it is because of the elder brother. If the first prince is willing to talk to the fourth prince, the trouble will be solved."

The imperial concubine likes to be flattered, so she just smiled at this moment: "Let's do it this way." After laughing, she couldn't help sighing: The emperor's intention to establish a crown prince is clearly revealed, today the eldest prince can say a few words with brotherhood, and in the future But it is the distinction between the monarch and his ministers, and he has to pay homage to his younger brother.

Concubine Zhuang then searched for some good words to comfort her. Happiness in this world is obtained through comparison: "Your Majesty has the right to assist the Six Palaces. After entering the court, the First Prince went to the Ministry of War to practice. The Emperor rewarded and reused him many times. Think about it, Your Majesty. Concubine Kang and the third prince, the courtiers and concubines are all made concubines, poor concubine Kang is still a concubine, and even the emperor refused to move her position when the third prince got married. After the third prince entered the court, he went to the Zongzheng Mansion , it’s just a matter of family rewards according to the rules.” Concubine Zhuang covered her mouth and smiled: “As for Concubine Ming and the Second Prince, there is no need for concubines to talk about it. Who in the palace doesn’t treat Concubine Xu Zhengfei and Concubine Liu Side as a joke speak."

After comparing the effects, the imperial concubine really felt happy.

She said modestly: "Third prince is because of his weak body." When talking about her body, the imperial concubine remembered the most troublesome thing again, and asked: "By the way, do you know any good prescription for conceiving a child?" "Zhou Ling never had any good news and was about to panic the imperial concubine.

Concubine Zhuang: ...This question is asking, if I want an effective prescription, don't I have to come out of the whole dragon fetus first!

Until Xin Hongcheng left, Jia Min was still in shock, and when Yuanyang entered the door, he hurriedly asked, "Send it away?"

Yuanyang nodded: "I watched His Royal Highness come back after getting into a carriage." Fortunately, the eunuchs in this dynasty don't ride horses very much, they usually ride in carriages or sedan chairs, otherwise they will run into someone like King Rui who is not stingy. People, will definitely shout out on the spot: The fourth prince is pretending to be a eunuch!

The next day, it will be known all over the city.

Hearing that Xin Hongcheng got into the carriage, Jia Min's heart was still in suspense. He probably had to wait for Xin Hongcheng to return safely and send someone out to report his safety before he could let go.Jia Min knew that not only herself, but Daiyu must also be worried.

So I couldn't help complaining: "What's the matter, I can't say it in the letter? It's extremely secretive and can't be put into words. It's fine to talk about it after marriage. If you have to come here at this time, what if someone bumps into you!"

Yuanyang was very considerate and changed Jia Min to herbal tea for reducing fire: "How can it be done? It just needs to be agreed before marriage-whose name is written on the house, the bank card in the future, um, who cares about the money, Children's education issues, whether to keep a dog or a cat, have to be discussed in advance."

Jia Min couldn't help shaking her head: "Your weird ideas are really unreasonable."

Yuanyang smiled: "Then do you think it's unreasonable for us not to take concubines?"

Jia Min was categorical: "This is really reasonable!"

Because Jia Min was anxious, he chatted with Yuanyang every now and then.After a while, I saw Hu Po respectfully ushering Dai Yu over.

Jia Min understood: It is estimated that her daughter will be restless in Shaojingxuan, so she might as well come and wait for the letter with her.

The mandarin duck and Hu Po went out of the inner room together, leaving space for the mother and daughter.

Daiyu's tone was mixed with anger and joy: "Mother, he used to do things that cause people to worry. The Supreme Emperor scolded him for being reckless and acting casually, and he still complained to me in the letter that he was wronged. I think the Supreme Emperor is a little bit That's right."

Jia Min looked at her daughter with a smile, mother and daughter are connected, she knows that Daiyu is anxious these days, but she can't comfort her—even if she wants to say that the palace is peaceful and there will be no wind and rain in the future, Daiyu is not a fool either, she will not be comforted by these words at all.

But now, she saw that the anxiety in her daughter's eyebrows had disappeared.

"Why is mother looking at me like that?"

Jia Min's tone was filled with infinite peace of mind and softness: "My daughter is happy, so I am relieved."

Daiyu sat next to Jia Min and snuggled up.

When the eyes don't need to look at each other and the body is supported, people are most likely to speak the truth. Daiyu's voice is as soft as a murmur in a dream: "Mother, he told me a lot. Seriously, if it weren't for you The example of Sister Yuanyang and Sister Zhou comes first, I'm afraid I'm going to freak out."

Jia Min patted her daughter's back lightly, just like she did in her childhood nightmare.

"Mother, he said that before the people there get married, they will promise each other that they will always respect each other, love each other, and be loyal no matter whether they are rich or poor, healthy or sick."

Jia Min was slightly startled, loyal and unswerving, this is a rule that must be followed for women, but men... let alone the men of the royal family and ministers, Zhumenxiuhu, even the poor Qi people who go begging in Meng Fuzi's writings have a wife A concubine?

"Your Highness, did you really say that?"

Daiyu nodded lightly: "Mother, I don't know if he can do it all his life, but now that he has such a heart, I won't be afraid of entering the palace."

--

After Xin Hongcheng arrived at his Tsinghua Hall, he changed his clothes first, and asked Wang Zhong to send someone to Rongguo Mansion to report his safety, and then came to the study room of Dongpei Hall.

The fifth prince Xin Hongji hurriedly stood up when he saw him enter the door: "Fourth brother is back."

"No one has come to look for me, have you? Have all the brothers returned to Wende Palace?"

Xin Hongji shook his head: "No one has been here. The eldest brother is in the Ministry of War, and the second brother is in the Ministry of Industry. They have never been back in the previous court. I heard from the palace people that the third brother is free and came back early, but the third brother is really weak. The third sister-in-law even sent someone to invite the imperial physician."

Xin Hongcheng patted him on the shoulder: "Thank you, fifth brother."

Now there are only the two of them going to the study room, and today they are not studying, so he dragged the fifth prince to cover.

Xin Hongji, as a poor little girl whose father doesn't love her and whose mother is cowardly, has resolutely embraced this thigh since last year for the sake of her future life.

He didn't know what Xin Hongcheng was doing, and he didn't ask, he just performed the task perfectly.

Seeing that the fourth brother was back at this time, he obediently resigned, and secretly went to his mother Li Guiren to pay his respects while it was still early.

When the princes next to him were resting, they would go to pay respects to their mother in a fair manner, and Xin Hongcheng even stayed at Empress Yang's place for meals at every turn.

But the fifth prince knew that his father didn't like Li Guiren, so he went quietly every time.

As soon as he entered the door, he frowned: "Where is the servant in the palace?"

Li Guiren's smile is always cowardly and flattering. He is very happy to see his son. He hurriedly put down the needle and thread in his hand, wiped his hands and poured tea for his son. eat.

"Today is the day when the monthly order is issued, and they all rushed to get it." Naturally, someone rushed to send it to the favored empress, but naturally there is no such treatment here as Li Guiren.

"That can't leave no one behind!" Xin Hongji knew that her mother was weak, and the palace people were contemptuous.

Li Guiren just smiled: "This is not right, they are not here, we can talk freely."

Xin Hongji took out two purses, and poured out the gold fish, peanuts and other gold nuggets inside: "Mother, you can use it, these are all given to me by my fourth brother recently." Since he took the initiative to express his desire to be close to Xin Hongcheng Meaning, every time the fourth brother gave the third princess and the sixth prince some playthings, he would also give him a share.

He knew that Li Guiren was living a hard life, and he was very tight at the end of the month, so he often used it to supplement her.

Li Guiren put it in his hands again: "Good boy, I don't need it here. Ever since the Chinese New Year Empress accepted the two pairs of shoes and socks I made, and gave them a reward, the House of Internal Affairs has never had a problem. Pass my stuff."

Empress Yang didn't care about Li Guiren, but Xin Hongcheng was kind to the fifth prince, so she was willing to give Li Guiren more face.

Xin Hongji looked at the needle and thread put down by her mother, which was a pair of knuckle socks, and asked in a low voice, "Is this made for the empress again? You have wronged me. She is also the concubine of the emperor, but she serves the empress like a embroidered mother."

Li Guiren shook his head again and again: "What's the grievance here? How many people want to flatter your mother can't keep up. Not to mention me, even the empress concubine Kang made snacks suitable for her physique every now and then and sent them over. My mother is looking forward to waiting for two days. When you talked about your marriage in [-], the empress chose a good girl for you for the sake of my careful service."

After babbling a few words, she asked her son cautiously: "If you don't study today, you should go and talk to your fourth brother more. People's affection comes from it. It's not that you lose your temper again and offend you." Fourth brother?"

Seeing his mother's uneasy face, Xin Hongji felt extremely sad.

He tried his best to smile: "Mother, don't worry, today the fourth brother invited me to play in his palace alone for half a day! The fourth brother is much closer to me than the previous two years. Besides, my companion is still the cousin of the fourth sister-in-law." Brother, mother, don't worry."

Only then did Li Guiren let out a long sigh of relief: "Amitabha, that's good, that's good."

When Xin Hongji left, he carried a half-worn dark brocade bag in his hand, inside which were two pajamas and two pairs of summer shoes made by Li Guiren himself.

He tightened his grip on the burden: the days will get better and better.

--

In the middle of June, envoys from the Xiyi Kingdom sent many tributes, including dozens of pots of exotic flowers unique to the area.

The Xiyi Kingdom even gave these flowers nice names. After all, if you introduce them in their country's language, the emperor sounds like the names of these flowers are all woo-woo-la-la.

The emperor alone rewarded six potted flowers in Rongguo Mansion.

Dai Quan has come to Rongguo Mansion for the third time this year, and his attitude is more friendly than the last time. This time he can be called polite and flattering.

He took several young eunuchs to send the flowers all the way to Rongqing Hall in person, and even handed over to Jia Min: "Mr. Shi, I wonder if our family has the honor. We can introduce these potted flowers face-to-face when we meet the nobleman." After all, before Daiyu entered the palace, Dai Quan vaguely called her nobleman.

Jia Min was well aware of Dai Quan's status, and Jia Rong of Ningguo Mansion bought it from him for 200 taels of silver.

When it comes to being close to the emperor, he may not be as good as Qin Wu, but when it comes to the actual power in his hands, Dai Quan is really no worse than Qin Wu.

So he nodded to Sister Feng and motioned her to invite Daiyu over.

Dai Quan hurriedly said: "Where you dare to work, the nobles are respectful, and please ask Lian's second grandma to lead the way, and our family will go to see you in person."

Sister Feng led the way with a smile, and Mrs. Xing and Yuanyang supported Jia Min and went to Shaojingxuan together.

When Dai Quan introduced these potted flowers, Jia Min understood why he was so respectful this time.

"This 'Chaoyang Phoenix' is red in color, with a huge flower plate, graceful and luxurious, and it is the most honorable in the Xiyi Kingdom. This time, the Xiyi Kingdom offered six pots, and now the Empress Dowager has two pots, and the Empress Dowager has two pots." , and the remaining two pots are here with you."

The other potted flowers are just a foil, and the highlight is on the Chaoyang Phoenix.

The mandarin ducks beside him couldn't help but whisper in secret: Chaoyang Phoenix, with the word "phoenix", is red again.It is even more symbolic than the peonies in this dynasty.

However, the emperor surpassed the other three legitimate daughters-in-law, but only rewarded the Rongguo Mansion with two pots, the meaning of which can't help but make people think deeply.

So Dai Quan changed from the arrogant ostentation of the old inner minister in the past, and became more polite with a smile on his face.

Mo Ran next to him handed over the purse, and Daiyu handed it to Dai Quan herself.

Dai Quan bent down and took it: "You reward me yourself, this old servant has the cheek to accept it. I will greet you when I arrive in the palace tomorrow."

After speaking, he took the little eunuchs to leave.

Sister Feng personally sent out the second gate, where Jia Lian had already taken over and sent Dai Quan out of Rongguo Mansion.

Dai Quan's attitude towards Jia Lian is also very affectionate: "Second Master Lian has a limitless future."

This call made Jia Lian feel a little embarrassed.

When she came back and saw that Sister Feng was still waiting at the second gate, Jia Lian hurriedly said, "It's a hot day, why are you still here?"

Sister Feng's beautiful eyes circulated: "Of course I'm waiting for the second master. Fortunately, you don't have to go to the ministry to work today and you are at home, otherwise you really don't know what to do."

Jia Amnesty happened to suffer from heatstroke these few days, and he was lying in bed moaning, even if he wanted to get up and communicate with Dai Quan in a friendly way, he couldn't do it.

Jia Lian took the umbrella from Ping'er and personally covered Sister Feng from the sun.

Sister Feng laughed: "Oh, I can't afford it!"

"I can afford it, I can afford it! Our second mistress has a great plan! You told me that sister Lin was more than one concubine, and I still couldn't believe it. Today, seeing the arrogant face of this old inner minister, I am the one." Believe me."

That day, Jia Zhen asked Dai Quan to do something half-begging and half-trusting, and Jia Lian knew it.Who would have thought that there would be a time for him to curry favor with the Rongguo Mansion today.

Sister Feng looked at Jia Lian and said, "Second Master, don't think I'm defeating your interest! The Master will never go to court or be an official, and now he is also confined at home by the old lady, but you are different. If you are outside, you will be too proud , Tell people to pinch the wrong place, but there will be endless losses."

"I think the old lady is a person who can be ruthless. The second room used to be so embarrassing, but now it can be completely ignored. If you do something, and you want to implicate Sister Lin, I'm afraid the end will be worse than the second master and the others. .”

Jia Lian took it very seriously: "If you don't say it, I know I'm afraid. I wish I could be a dumb person in the ministry, lest I say something and someone will catch me."

Sister Feng saw that Jia Lian was also careful, so she changed the subject and said, "Now there is a Phoenix in our house. I don't know how the second room is? Tomorrow, I will ask someone to inquire. If they have any difficulties, please reach out to help them." a handful."

Jia Lian was taken aback, feeling that his daughter-in-law had taken the wrong medicine.

It's considered a kind act if she didn't hurt the second room, how could she offer to help.

Sister Feng couldn't help giving him a blank look: "Second master! Rabbits bite people when they are in a hurry, and dogs jump over walls when they are in a hurry. With today's incident, who in Beijing doesn't think highly of our Rongguo Mansion? The second room knows How can we be reconciled, if they have any unbearable sufferings, they will smash the pots and smash them, give up all their bodies, and drag us into the water."

After finishing speaking, he sighed: "The old lady still has a plan. Only Baoyu is still in the palace as a companion, so the second room has hope. Those who have hope will not be too crazy."
