Queen's Road in the Red House

Time flies in the palace, and the day-to-day greetings are the same, and the days seem to slip through the fingers.

In a blink of an eye, it was the eve of Laba again.

Xin Hongcheng came back that day and said: "Last year Uncle Rui Wang supervised the cooking of Laba porridge. I saw that the little eunuchs from the emperor's grandfather to the next one drank it cautiously."

Daiyu has been in the palace for half a year, so naturally she often hears some ridiculous things about King Rui.

Let's not talk about the distance, only about Zhen Ran's marriage, Prince Rui came into the palace to make a fuss, and he was not allowed to play around in front of the Supreme Emperor.Concubine Zhen Gui couldn't hold him back at all, because she also knew that according to King Rui's usual behavior, no one would suspect that Prince Rui was against the Zhen family, and would only think that he was sick.So Concubine Zhen Gui simply ignored it, allowing the Supreme Emperor to beat King Rui with a whip and kick him out of the palace.

Prince Rui held his breath in his heart, and he was raised in the mansion for a few days with whips, beat cats and scolded dogs for a while.Then he went out to the Chuguan, a restaurant in the capital, to harm the capital. Anyone who went to pick up food, drink and play would not be paid.

Concubine Zhen Gui gave him a headache.

Fortunately, Mrs. Zhen was in the capital and asked the Zhen family to fill in the loopholes, so it didn't make a fuss to the point where the official censor heard about it and filed a complaint.

When Xin Hongcheng met by chance, he tried to persuade Lord Rui, but King Rui didn't listen: "Since ancient times, when a man loses a battle, he only uses his sisters and daughters to fill him up. I don't like such a person."

Seeing Xin Hongcheng's puzzled look, King Rui snorted, "Little Chengzi, I know what you're thinking about in such surprise. You think I look down on those who have lost battles, but in fact I am even more absurd. I only know how to fight chickens and dogs."

Xin Hongcheng smiled: "Not really." You are not just a cockfighting dog, okay?

King Rui clapped his hands and said: "If you don't have diamonds, don't take the porcelain job. I can't do it but I never take the lead. Whoever succeeds will win! However, those who are not successful have no self-knowledge, and they have no ability to be generals. I lost my money! Seeing that it’s almost Laba, Brother Huang don’t want to order me to work again this year.”

In fact, the emperor wished that King Rui would not do anything, just stay like a plant and only breathe.

Last year, the matter was handed over to King Rui to show Concubine Zhen Gui's face, but this year he took the opportunity to change people.

--

Xin Hongcheng himself took out a roasted chestnut from the fire with charcoal tongs and ate it, and then said: "This year, my father entrusted me with the matter of taking care of and distributing the Laba porridge to all the officials of the clan. You should take care of it for me anyway, and I will take care of it when the time comes." Just come in and stand up."

Daiyu's hands, which were folding woolen clothes, paused. She wanted to ask but was a little afraid, and finally said in a low voice, "Why are you so busy suddenly? Yes, is it something about Shuangyi Kingdom?"

Xin Hongcheng nodded without hiding anything from her.Then I saw Daiyu's hands couldn't help but pick up the hair on his fox fur cloak.

He pressed Daiyu on the chair and freed his cloak: "Don't worry. The spies from Shuangyi Kingdom came to report."

The king of the Shuangyi Kingdom has become a hero by nature, so he is extremely cautious.Zi Shi would rather he bear the world's people than the world bear his role.

Therefore, although he treated Zhen Ran, the princess who came to marry him, with great courtesy, he always worshiped him as a bodhisattva and never got close to him. He never set foot in Zhen Ran's room at night.The two have never consummated their marriage, not to mention, they have never even had the chance to be alone.

Zhen Ran's role, in his opinion, is a signboard to express his respect for Heaven/Chao.

The days he should live are still with his former wife and children.

Seeing this, Zhen Ran was anxious but also very grateful that she didn't have to commit herself to an enemy.

Fortunately, everyone in Shuangyi Kingdom treated her with courtesy and did not dare to restrain her, so she was allowed to walk around the former capital of the Xiyi Kingdom.

Due to the war between the two countries, naturally many people were killed or injured and the city was damaged. Zhen Ran simply used his dowry money to build bridges and pave roads for the surrounding people, and help Nong Sang reclaim fertile land.

On the contrary, the king of Shuangyi Kingdom became suspicious, and came to test Zhen Ran overtly and secretly.

Zhen Ran sneered and said: "Why, do you think I married here happily? Now the bridge builders are trying to curry favor with you? I just don't know what to say! I just see that here is a small country with few people, and there are wars everywhere. It’s all about stretching out your hand because you hurt your eyes. Didn’t you see that in your royal city, the maids are all wearing straw hairpins?” The king of Shuangyi Kingdom was furious, arousing the humiliation and pain in his heart, his face changed greatly and he dared not Attacking Zhen Ran.

Zhen Ran asked the palace servants to see the guests off, and continued to sneer: "I like to scatter my money all over the place, so you don't have to worry about it. Anyway, you enshrine me as a bodhisattva, and I also like to go out and spread money to build roads. People kneel down and call me One Bodhisattva."

If Zhen Ran had always been quiet and docile, the King of Shuangyi might not have believed her, but she acted in such a contemptuous attitude of such a rich and noble family. Although the king was annoyed, he was less suspicious.

He only ordered people: "As long as she doesn't contact the people of this dynasty, don't worry about the rest! She is willing to use her own money to make it on our people! She is the daughter of the Zhen family, as stupid as her father, She only loves to be flattered! When the time comes when she runs out of money, she will know how to cry when she is not working every day."

Anyway, from his point of view, Zhen Ran was frivolous and flamboyant, throwing away his money and making people kowtow to thank him.

Daiyu sighed after hearing the words of the spies relayed by Xin Hongcheng: "She must have felt that if she didn't bring money with her when she was born or died, it would be better to use it for the people."

Xin Hongcheng held a cup of walnut and purple rice porridge, took two mouthfuls, and said, "It's useful for her to do this. The King of Shuangyi only thought that Zhen Ran loved to do things, so he entrusted her with the new year's palace banquet, which is also a tribute to me." Said that he valued the only concubine."

Daiyu's heart skipped a beat.

Xin Hongcheng shook her hand: "It must be this time of the New Year. At the palace banquet, the king and concubine need to have a meal and drink at the same table. This time, if they don't move this time, they may have to wait for a year. Miss Zhen refuses. When she was watching people pave the way outside the palace that day, she had already left a signal signal to the spies, and she was bound to do it—whether Miss Zhen succeeds or not, the army will always be ready."

"The Ministry of War used the excuse of military drills and rectification. It happened that my grandfather was transferred from Fujian, and he was considered a high-ranking nobleman. This reason is not conspicuous."

"The Shuangyi Kingdom also handed over the book, and wanted to send generals to watch and see the power of the Heavenly/Chaoshui Army, and the Emperor Father also agreed."

There was a bit of sharpness in his smile: "Since you want to see so much, after the Shuangyi Kingdom is recovered in the future, we will also incorporate them into the team and study hard."

Daiyu came back to her senses and said: "Then you don't worry about this matter, I will take care of the laba affairs in the palace for you."

--

With this matter in mind, Daiyu has no expectations for the new year.

Although the palace affairs were arranged for a few days, they were all done step by step, and there was no joy during the New Year's Eve.The Empress Dowager thought that it was her first time handling the New Year's affairs in the palace, and she was exhausted, so she thoughtfully invited Jia Min to meet Daiyu to see her boredom.

When Jia Min entered the palace, he naturally had to visit the Queen Mother first.

Don't say that the Queen Mother is a respectable person, but her care for Daiyu is enough to make Jia Min sincerely worship her.

The Queen Mother is also extremely polite.

"Hurry up, Taijun Shi, why bother to be so polite, we can be regarded as serious relatives if you put it outside. The Supreme Emperor also said today that you don't have to come at the usual time when you enter the palace, and you should just stay after lunch."

Jia Min felt relieved.

Since the time was not urgent, she also described Jia Zhen's matter in front of the queen mother - of course not to say good things for Jia Zhen, but just confessed in front of the queen mother that the girl from the Rongguo Mansion has nothing to do with the Ningguo Mansion.

The Empress Dowager accepted this signal, nodded and smiled, and then used this to say something else: "Lingsun Jia Baoyu is the grandson of Duke Rong and the companion of the Fifth Prince, and the old sage has always cared about him. I mentioned his marriage to Shi Taijun last time, how is Shi Taijun thinking?"

It's rare for Jia Min to be suffocated. She really forgot about it, and recently she just focused on Jia Zhen.

Although she didn't show any embarrassment on her face, the queen mother knew that there was no result when she saw her silent: "I am impatient. After all, Jia Jing in Ningguo Mansion is his uncle. There is no one who is filial. The reason for marriage."

Naturally, Jia Min couldn't just sit and watch the Empress Dowager criticize herself, so she hurriedly said: "The Emperor and the Empress Dowager are concerned. I have fallen into a delusion, and last time I was clamoring to become a monk, so I will not mention it for the time being, and I am afraid that marrying a girl from a good family will delay other people's children."

In fact, the queen mother didn't care much about Jia Baoyu, for her, it was nothing but her own business, and she didn't care about her legitimate grandchildren in the palace, let alone Jia's sons.

It's just that recently she had an affair with the Supreme Emperor because of the matter of Ningguo Mansion.Before the birth of the Supreme Emperor, she asked her to keep an eye on Jia Baoyu's marriage, but now it's not good to just lift her hand away, otherwise it would seem like she was hating the Ningguo Mansion and venting her anger.

The Empress Dowager then continued: "Oh? What's the matter? Could it be that he is also a Buddhist? I heard that he was born with a piece of jade in his mouth. Once he got sick, he was cured by monks and Taoists?"

Jia Min was deeply disgusted with the monks he had seen in the illusory world, so he said: "Oh, ma'am, now our family doesn't believe in monks and priests to heal diseases!"

Although this dynasty advocated Buddhism and Taoism, but Jia Jingweihan's bones are lying here, Jia Min's words can be regarded as having a reason.

The queen mother also smiled: "That's right, I don't believe these things either. I just heard about the story of a golden and jade marriage in your family, so I asked."

This time Jia Min was really shocked. I didn't expect the queen mother to even hear about Baoyu and Baochai's happy marriage.

Because he didn't know how much the queen mother knew, Jia Min didn't dare to hide it: "This Miss Xue, my mother also met at the flower viewing banquet."

The queen mother thought for a while: "Her mother and the second wife who were separated from your house are all Wang Ziteng's younger sisters, aren't they?"

"Your Majesty is wise, and even remembers the little things among the courtiers clearly. After the Patriarch of the Xue family passed away, Aunt Xue took her children to Beijing and lived in the Pear Fragrance Courtyard of Rongguo Mansion for a few years. Miss Xue's Jin Suo courtier's wife also saw it, saying that she was a monk with a scarlet head If you give it as a gift, it must be chiseled on a gold vessel, so that it can be matched with jade in the future."

The queen mother smiled and said, "I heard that there are a few characters on it, which are a pair with the natural characters on Mr. Jia's jade."

Seeing that the Queen Mother knew even this, Jia Min simply said it clearly: "My wife's second daughter-in-law is also optimistic about this marriage, and thinks it is a happy event for the family to increase the marriage. I don't like it very much, but after all, what the parents ordered and the matchmaker said, they promised that the minister's wife would not stop it."

The Empress Dowager nodded: "Mr. Shi, don't think that I am a woman who likes to listen to the parents of the east and the family of the west. Today, when this matter is brought up, it is just that Mrs. Zhen said these words in front of the palace a few days ago. Looking at it, the palace is very happy. There is a meaning of being a matchmaker."

Mrs. Zhen?

Jia Min understood, strangely, Mrs. Wang must have entrusted old relatives like the Zhen family.

It's also because Jia Min didn't want to get too close to the Zhen family, so she used the excuse of Jia Jing recently. She was old and tired, sad for a long time, and didn't like to go out, so all the posts sent by the Zhen family were pushed and never went. Mrs. Xing took Wang Xifeng there.

Mrs. Zhen probably couldn't wait for Jia Min, so she took the opportunity to talk to the Queen Mother while entering the palace.

Jia Min couldn't help sighing in his heart: Could it be that Baoyu and Baochai are inseparable because of a natural marriage?
