The Young Master of the Jia Family in the Red Chamber

When he got married for the first time today, he was still the crown prince.At that time, the Situ family had just occupied Gyeonggi, the country was not yet stable, the country was only half-walled, and various complicated rules had not yet emerged.The prince wanted to marry a daughter-in-law, but he just fell in love with it, and then told the emperor.

Situ Yuncang saw that his future daughter-in-law was the daughter of his most trusted military advisor, Su Yuquan, and he agreed without saying a word.Situ's family's struggles were not easy. Although he did not personally fight in battle when he was young, he traveled thousands of miles with the army and suffered a lot. Including the future Empress Su.When Situ Yuncang established his capital in Gyeonggi, he was in the weak crown and there was no delay in marrying the princess. The emperor asked him who he planned to marry, and he remembered the beautiful girl he had saved.

Situ Yuncang sent someone to ask, Su Shi is the daughter of a meritorious official, so the marriage is considered settled.Unexpectedly, the Su family had been in the palace for three years, but failed to give birth to a son and a half daughter for the crown prince. Situ Yuncang, however, had added several concubines after ascending the throne, and had already given birth to two little princes and several little princesses.

The crown prince has no children, which is no small matter. With a wave of Situ Yuncang's hand, the originally empty East Palace was instantly filled.

According to the old rule of the previous dynasty, besides the princess concubine, the prince also had two Liangdi, six Liangyuan, Chenghui, Zhaoxun, Fengyi and others were not counted.Situ Yuncang was eager to embrace his grandson, and he added a dozen or so concubines to the East Palace in one go. The places for Liangdi and Liangyuan were all used up, and the rest were awarded Chenghui.

However, today he is stubborn and determined that the eldest son must die, so Situ Yuncang stuffed him with many beauties. Not to mention people serving the bed, but occasionally recruiting, and forcing people to drink Bizitang, his emperor's father jumped up in anger.Fortunately, in the fifth year of Su's entry into the palace, she finally became pregnant, and as everyone wished, she gave birth to a son, who is the current crown prince.At this point, Situ Yuncang finally felt relieved, his ancestors blessed him, and their Situ family finally had a descendant.

Due to hereditary qi disease, Su's health has always been poor, and after entering the palace, thinking and worrying aggravated the condition. After pregnancy and childbirth, it became worse and worse. Situ Yan passed away shortly after his first birthday.At that time, there was only one son today, and he was still weak and sick, and he didn't know if he could grow up. Seeing the opportunity, everyone in the East Palace started to take action one after another, trying to kill Situ Yan and let their son take over.

There is no doubt about the love for the eldest son today. It is no exaggeration to say that "hold it in your hand for fear of falling, and keep it in your mouth for fear of melting." Everything is waiting for His Highness the Crown Prince to decide. Now that he is in charge and lacks skills, he has no choice but to keep Situ Yan by his side and let the people left by the Su family who brought into the palace from the Su family take care of them. Their status is all in the Su family. Outsiders come with all their heart.

Yin Meiren is one of them. She is Su's dowry maid. The whole family has been slaves of Su's family for generations. She has been loyal to Su's for several years in the palace.After Su's death, Situ Yan was taken care of carefully and properly.Twice, the concubine of the Eastern Palace wanted to attack Situ Yan, one time by poisoning the nurse, and the other time by using pollen that could make Situ Yan suffer from gas attacks. Fortunately, she found out in time and saved Situ Yan's life.

It was because of those two accidents that the high-ranking concubines of the Eastern Palace were thrown into a rage today. Only Shen Liangyuan and Chen Liangdi, who kept their duties, kept their positions, and everyone else was pushed down.When Situ Yan was three years old, Emperor Tai and Zu passed away, and now he is enthroned as emperor.

The first thing the emperor did after ascending to the throne was to make Su the empress, Situ Yan the prince, and Yin Meiren the female official of the East Palace.

Situ Jing didn't know when Yin Meiren had thoughts that she shouldn't have, and even Situ Yan might not be able to tell.But Situ Jing believed that for a long time, Yin Meiren's care for Situ Yan was sincere, that's why Situ Yan trusted her so much.

Even later, she hooked up with the emperor on Empress Su's memorial day, and Situ Yan never blamed her, but chose to distance herself slowly.

Before giving birth to the seventh prince, Situ Zheng, Yin Meiren was a fifth-rank female official, and later a fifth-rank beauty.The emperor didn't like her very much, but he never ignored her. One or two days a month, he would go to Yin Meiren's palace and talk to her about Empress Su.

After Yin Meiren became a concubine, she was as respectful to the prince as usual, and the seventh prince she gave birth to was even more close to the prince.Although he is a lofty crown prince, Situ Yan is still young after all, and occasionally he would envy those younger brothers who have younger siblings, but the third, fourth, and sixth princes were all born to Concubine Shen Shu, and the second and fifth princes were born to Chen Zhaoyi , these two people's status in the palace is second only to the queen, and they have more than one prince. Situ Yan maintains instinctive vigilance towards their sons, no matter how envious they are, they will not try to get close.

The Seventh Prince was different. His biological mother was Yin Meiren, who was born as a slave. She had no background in the palace and could not pose any threat to Situ Yan.Therefore, when Situ Zheng, who was only two or three years old, stumbled and called the prince brother to rush over, Situ Yan did not push him away.

Just as Situ Jing guessed, at the beginning, Yin Meiren never thought of harming His Highness the Crown Prince.She just couldn't bear the splendor and wealth in the palace, and she couldn't bear to give up her current life, so she hooked up with the emperor on her memorial day under the banner of Empress Su.

Beauty Yin succeeded, and the emperor made her a fifth-rank beauty on the second day of her bedtime appointment.Soon after, she became pregnant, but the emperor only ordered people to reward her with gold and silver jewelry, but did not promote her status.After giving birth to the seventh prince, Yin Meiren thought that her position could be moved up, and the emperor would still reward her with gold and silver jewelry.Yin Meiren finally understands that for her, the starting point is the end point, and she has no chance.In the end of Emperor Taizong's life, except for the two empresses, Concubine Shen Shu and Concubine Chen Zhaoyi, his harem was all beauties and talents.

Before giving birth to her son, Yin Meiren thought that it would be great if she had a son. After giving birth to her son, she began to fantasize that it would be great if her son was a prince.The emperor advocated the succession system of the eldest son. As long as Situ Yan lived for a day, other princes would have no possibility of succession.

Yin Meiren has followed the emperor for many years and understands this deeply, so she wants Situ Yan to die.Yin Meiren also knew that even if the crown prince died, the seventh prince would not be able to take the throne. The third prince, the fifth prince, and the ninth prince were all more qualified than her son.

Since childhood, Yin Meiren taught Situ Zheng the most, telling him not to fight.Only when he doesn't fight and other people fight to the death, can he have a chance to stand out.If others do not argue, he is at least safe and will not put himself in a dangerous situation.

Situ Yan has always been a very sensitive person. It is impossible for him to tell who is sincere to him and who is false to him.Therefore, Situ Zheng has been in awe of his elder brother since he was a child. Only by being sincere can he get closer to him than others.

Yin Meiren used to be the son of the Su family. Starting from Queen Su's mother, the Su family has suffered from Qi diseases for generations. They have their own way of how to treat and prevent it.Since Yin Meiren served Empress Su as a child, she naturally knew this, otherwise she would not have been able to take such good care of Situ Yan.

Conversely, it was easier for Yin Meiren to attack Situ Yan than anyone else, but she didn't do it, she was reluctant to take the risk. For more than 20 years, Yin Meiren has only done two things. One is to smear the refined and tasteless pollen liquid on the relics of Empress Su, and this kind of thing was secretly detained by Situ Yan when someone harmed Situ Yan. Can't get out the context.Situ Yan lost his mother when he was young. Seeing that all his younger siblings had mothers, he would definitely feel sad. He couldn't see people, so he could only think about people when he saw things. It was inevitable that he would not come into contact with those pollen.

Yin Meiren smears the pollen liquid on a wide range, but the amount is not large, and others have no way of noticing it. Even Situ Yan will not get sick as soon as he touches it.However, the accumulation over the years will make Situ Yan's qi disease attack more frequently, eventually reaching the point of no return.

The prince has been sick all year round, which is not a sign of longevity. It is very difficult for the other princes to be dissatisfied. Yin Meiren has been waiting, waiting for someone to make a move first.

The emperor was also very worried about the prince's health, and even moved the idea of ​​establishing a grandson.Hearing this news, Yin Meiren's heart almost went cold. Although Situ Jing also suffered from gas disease, his condition was much milder than that of the Crown Prince, and the Crown Princess protected him very well, almost never having an attack.

When Situ Jing was three years old, the emperor toured the south and left the prince to look after the house, but brought the princess and Situ Jing with him.On the way back to Beijing, an assassination incident occurred. If the princess hadn't been born in a family of generals, had learned a few tricks from her father and brother since she was a child, and blocked a fatal arrow for the emperor at a critical moment, the assassination plan would have really succeeded.The matter involved a lot, and countless people were convicted. The Crown Princess was seriously injured and died on the way back to Beijing.The emperor favored the crown prince already, and the crown princess helped him save him. If there were no accidents, it was almost a foregone conclusion to establish a grandson after returning to Beijing.

If there is a grandson of the emperor, even if the prince dies, the other princes will have no chance.Yin Meiren herself refused to take action, but took advantage of the chaos to spread some news.The concubine passed away, and the prince was far away in the capital. It was really easy to take action against Situ Jing, who was only three years old.

When Yu Jia returned to Beijing, he saw the coffin of the crown princess and the sick Situ Jing, and Situ Yan was furious, who was so bold as to dare to do such a murderous thing to his son.Although Situ Yan conducted an investigation afterwards, the emperor was assassinated and the princess was rescued and died. These two incidents were too great. Countless people were taken down due to dereliction of duty. Situ Yan finally found some people who were pushed out. As a shield, the real murderer escaped.

Situ Jing's so-called good health is compared with the prince, as long as he is cared for carefully, at least he will not get sick casually, and he is still relatively weak when he is thrown into the crowd.Situ Jing lost his mother and cried all the way. He was already sad and injured, and more than one group of people used tricks on him. In just ten days, the number of episodes of gas disease was more than that of the previous three years .The little baby who is just three years old, how can he bear these things, the body will become weak, and the crown prince raised him personally, and the chances of getting in touch with Queen Su's relics are more than before.

The emperor originally thought that Situ Jing's body looked okay, so he simply made him a great-grandson, but now he didn't dare, he just said to see it later, and wait until the child was older.In the fifth year of Situ Jing, because the prince was raised more carefully and his health was much better than the prince's, so his physical condition recovered a lot, and the emperor moved the idea of ​​establishing a grandson again.One day, Situ Jing's cousin, Jian Ming, came to the palace to play with him, and even showed him a new move that his grandfather had just taught him. Situ Jing was jealous, so he clamored to learn it.

Children are always more serious in doing things, Jian Ming directly took out the standard that Mrs. Jian required of him, without thinking about whether Situ Jing could bear it.But just like that, Situ Jing also persisted for several days, never complaining about suffering or tiredness, and eating two more bowls of rice every day than before.Until one time, when he was practicing in the garden of the East Palace, he suffered from a gas attack, and the attack was so severe that he almost died.

Almost everyone thought that it was caused by Situ Jing's poor health and excessive practice, so Jian Jian, who taught him martial arts, was beaten up, and he was also ordered not to run around.Situ Jing had a serious illness, and after he recovered, he heard people say so, so he thought so.

It wasn't until Jia Hu told him that day that Meiren Yin learned about the East Palace too quickly that Situ Jing suddenly remembered that he was secretly practicing without telling everyone in the East Palace, but Situ Zheng was the first person to find him.Situ Jing didn't want Situ Yan to know about it, so he asked Situ Zheng to hide it for him. Situ Zheng refused at first, and said he was going to tell Situ Yan soon. Situ Jing said a lot of good things, so he reluctantly agreed to keep it secret.

Afterwards, Situ Zheng also told Situ Jing that the place where he practiced was not good, and it was easy to be discovered when people came and went. He pointed him to a place to ensure that no one would know.Situ Jing believed it was true, and immediately swore that he would keep the secret, and pestered Situ Zheng to tell him.

At that time, Situ Jing really regarded Situ Zheng as a good person, and said that he was not so annoying occasionally.Now that I think about it, Situ Zheng has bad intentions at all. A child who is not in good health and cannot exercise vigorously, even if he wants to practice martial arts, he should be in a wide place and someone must watch him.Fortunately, he found that Situ Jing's actions were inappropriate. Not only did he not tell Situ Yan, but he even pointed Situ Jing to the corner of the East Palace Garden. If something happened to Situ Jing during his practice, it would be too late to call someone. Exactly the same.

Not two days after thinking about this incident, Situ Jing revisited his old place and went to the place where he secretly practiced when he was a child, only to find that it was close to the imperial garden, and when the southwest wind blows in spring, occasionally a few leaves would blow over.The prince suffers from Qi disease, and there are no flowers and plants in the East Palace or even the surrounding area, only trees are allowed to be planted, but Situ Jing recalled that he always felt that he would smell a faint fragrance when he stayed in this place.Several years have passed, he was too young at that time, Situ Jing was not sure if his recollection was accurate, but what he remembered was enough.

Situ Jing told Situ Yan what he remembered, the prince was shocked and asked him why he didn't say it earlier.Situ Jing said that he wanted to keep it a secret at first, but then he forgot.Situ Yan sighed helplessly. Situ Jing always said that he didn't like Situ Zheng, but he couldn't say any reason. He had someone check it out, but he didn't find out that there was anything wrong with Situ Zheng. Every time he entered and left the East Palace, he just greeted him, never stayed for a long time, and never wandered around. .The prince thought that Situ Jing was playing a child's temper, but he didn't know that Situ Zheng had done something that endangered Situ Jing's life many years ago.

The Seventh Prince has a problem, so what about Yin Meiren, she is probably not innocent.The prince has been good to their mother and son these years. One is that they are thinking about the old love, and the other is that their hands and feet are really clean. Even if he is the prince, it is impossible for him to oppose all the younger brothers.It would be nice if the powerful third and fifth children from outside the family, and the noble ninth child could live in peace on the face of each other.Lao Qi looked honest, and he was Yin Meiren's son, so the prince naturally treated him differently, he didn't want their mother and son to be more ruthless, and planted the root of trouble early, and then came to show his favor to him, and he was sold and paid for counting money.

Yin Meiren has harmed Situ Yan and Situ Jing for so many years. There are multiple reasons. She is cautious in her actions, not greedy, and not aggressive. The most important point is that Situ Yan trusts her, which is more important than anything else. important.Since their mother and son really didn't do anything they shouldn't have done in the later period, Situ Jing's dislike for Situ Zheng has been ignored.In fact, Situ Jing really misunderstood Situ Zheng for his disdain for Situ Zheng. Situ Zheng was polite to the palace people, and his good reputation in the palace was not in vain, but was earned by him over the years.

As a result, by mistake, when Jia Hu said that there was something wrong with Yin Meiren, Situ Jing believed it, and desperately recalled the forgotten childhood memories.

After hearing this, Situ Yan would never think that his son was just playing around. The pollen on Empress Su's belongings was tested by the imperial physicians who repeatedly checked. illness.No matter how reluctant Situ Yan was, for the sake of his own and his son's life, he still had to have those things burned, and then he cleaned up the East Palace thoroughly.The emperor was even more furious when he heard about this, and then Yin Meiren fell ill and couldn't afford it.

Although the consequences are serious, Yin Meiren and the Seventh Prince did not do many things. Situ Jing made it clear in a few words. Jia Hu couldn't help but wondered after hearing this: "Is this the end?" Yin Meiren harmed the current prince. Well, the emperor just killed her quietly, he didn't believe it.

Situ Jing was expressionless, and said in a deep voice: "How could it be just forget it? It's still Chinese New Year. Do you want the palace to hold a funeral?"

Jia Hu was dumbfounded, and it would depend on what Huang Li said if he dared to execute the sentence.Sure enough, at the beginning of February, Yin Meiren died of illness, the emperor didn't give her a promotion according to the usual practice, and just buried her like this.

Regarding Yin Meiren's afterlife, there are different opinions in the harem. They all say that she offended the emperor, otherwise, based on her seniority, she should be named a fourth-rank 娙'e after her death.Unexpectedly, at the end of February, the emperor promoted Yin Meiren's elder brother, and it was still a relatively fat place for release.

As we all know, Beauty Yin was born in a family. It was not until she became a beauty that the Su family released the deeds of her whole family.For the sake of the seventh prince, the emperor gave Yin Meiren's elder brother a vain title of Cong Liupin, that is, a name that never had to go to work.I don't want to think that Yin Meiren has gone, and her brother has been promoted. It seems that the emperor still has a little affection for her.In mid-March, Yin Meiren's elder brother packed up his outfit, and the whole family set out to take up the post. They had no face in Beijing, and they could show off their power when they got there.

It is said that there are unpredictable things in the sky, and people have misfortunes and blessings. Yin Meiren's elder brother encountered road bandits before he took office. All seven members of the family were killed, and no one was spared.The bad news spread back to Beijing. The two elders of the Yin family, who had just lost their daughter, couldn't bear the blow and left soon after.

Jia Hu knew in her heart that at this moment, the matter would be considered over.As for the seventh prince, as long as the emperor is still alive, his life can be saved, but if the emperor dies one day, he will not have a chance even if he is dying.Because the imperial doctor said that the crown prince has been exposed to those tasteless pollen all year round, and the damage to the body is irreversible over time.Situ Jing is a little better, he is young and has not been in contact for a long time, and his own background is better, so there will be no serious problems.
