Jia Yao of the Red Chamber

Chapter 40 Baoyu was promoted and Jia Yao married the third prince

Perhaps it was because the adult princes were too capable, and the emperor was anxious to balance the power.Before the summer passed, the old emperor raised Jia Baoyu to use him.Because the editor of the Hanlin Academy he worked in before was not easy to be promoted too high, so he was first appointed as the deputy head of the Ministry of Officials.However, this is also a two-level promotion, which can be seen during the period of honor and favor.Baoyu is still young now, he was born as a number one scholar, and he has an uncle who is the master of the salt department, and an uncle who is the governor of the capital city. His future prospects are limitless.Therefore, Baoyu, which has already attracted attention, has become the object of struggle among all parties.The old emperor was naturally satisfied with this.This was why he picked up Jia Baoyu.The ability of this child from the Jia family is not bad, but he still needs to be trained and tested before he knows how good his character is and whether he can be praised or not.

After the day of the imperial court, the emperor returned to the apse of the Qianyuan Hall, with a servant behind him holding a stack of gold plates with high memorials.After dealing with political affairs alone in the palace for a while, the emperor put down the imperial brush in his hand, raised his hand and gently pinched his brow.The maid at the side brought two plates of snacks and poured tea again.The emperor seemed to remember suddenly, and said, "Empress Duanxian has been gone for three years, right?" Wu Zhiyuan interjected, "No. Empress Duanxian has been gone for so long, it seems like it was only yesterday that Empress Duanxian was here. The emperor obviously didn't focus on this, he paused and then pointedly said, "I remember that when Empress Duanxian was here, I was thinking about the marriage of Chang'er, but she went suddenly, which also delayed Chang'er Three years. Now the time for keeping filial piety has passed, and this child is eighteen years old, but I, the father, should give him consideration." The emperor acted like a kind father, worrying about his son's marriage, but Wu Zhiyuan knew This is because the third imperial prince did not intervene in the imperial examination some time ago, so the emperor showed kindness here.Of course, it is not known that the emperor wanted to increase the strength of the third son to balance the eldest and fourth sons.Wu Zhiyuan bowed slightly, "Your Majesty loves his son dearly. I think the Third Highness will definitely touch His Majesty's love for his son when he finds out." The emperor smiled inexplicably, "Go to Xuanzhang and come here."

Mo Lanzhen never thought that the emperor's father would summon him suddenly. At that time, he was reading the letter from Master Liang, which was a part of the correspondence between his elder brother and Jiangnan Zhen's family.Mo Lanzhang raised his hand and called He Qi who was on the side, pointed to the stack of papers on the table and said, "Burn it." After changing clothes and going to the Qianyuan Hall, he naturally invited the emperor who was sitting at the top first. install.Was quickly called.Seeing the kindness on the emperor's face, Mo Lanzhang probably had some ideas in his heart, and he also understood that he had been doing his best during this time, and he was still worthy of the emperor's father's eyes.Of course, only Mo Lanyan knows best whether he is safe or not.I just heard the emperor ask, "Child, father remembers that you will be crowned in the next year." "Returning to father, yes." The emperor said again, "You should have been crowned three years ago." The marriage has been settled, but I didn't expect your mother to be ill. Alas... God's will tricks people." Mo Lanyan just listened silently. "Now you have been filial piety for your mother for three years, and you look so old. It's time for a big marriage, at least the marriage must be settled." Mo Lanyan just pursed her lips, clasped her fists and said, "My son It's all up to the father!" "Haha! Okay," the old emperor was very satisfied with his son's obedience, "the father has shown you these years. I think the third lady of the Jia family is very good. The family background is also good, and I Listen to what your imperial grandmother said. Concubine Nan'an chatted with him when she entered the palace, saying that the little girl has good looks and character. Besides, Miss Jia's grandfather accompanied the emperor from birth to death, and was a meritorious minister. Our royal family You should also take care of these people properly, and don’t let the old heroes feel cold!" In fact, the old lady never told the emperor about Jia Yao, and the emperor didn't care whether Miss Jia was round or flat, he asked his subordinates to check It's just whether the third lady of the Jia family is a direct descendant, and who is her matrilineal lineage.And she is indeed Jia Baoyu's only younger sister.But I want to tie my third son to the Jia family, because this son is really a peace of mind, so it is a reward, and the other is not to give my third son a boost and force him to get involved in his son's struggle In the middle, it is also an idea that can not be understood by outsiders so as to stir up this pool of water.

Mo Lanyan was a little surprised.But he didn't expect his father to connect himself with the Jia family.Presumably he was testing himself and the Jia family's loyalty to him?Recently, my eldest brother and fourth younger brother have been trying to hook up with the Jia family. Presumably, they are thinking about the fat that the four major families have been connected to the Lin family in Jiangnan.But they didn't think about it either. The four major families followed the late emperor. As long as they didn't make mistakes, they could always be safe. How could they easily show their tendency to seek refuge with anyone, let alone Lin Ruhai, an old fox who secretly suggested something.I didn't think of a way to get in touch with Jia's family beyond my capacity, and I thought it would make the emperor feel that I was honest.But... the third miss of the Jia family?That girl who is as beautiful as a fairy and a demon in the peach blossom forest?Mo Lanyan blushed slightly, she had just lost her mother, suddenly lost her support in the nuoda harem, and used the name of praying for her mother to live in Qingxu Temple, a dream-like woman that she met by chance.Because I thought this experience was very beautiful, I didn't want to tarnish it. Although I wanted to know the girl's name, I resisted not finding out her identity.The second time I saw her was when I was at Mo Tingyuan's residence, and I was discussing matters with Mr. Liang with Mo Tingfeng, when she broke in suddenly.He was sitting behind the screen at that time, and when he raised his head impatiently, he vaguely saw her figure through the yarn-woven screen, and felt familiar for some reason.Out of curiosity, he turned out of the screen in two or three steps, and saw her turn and leave.Although it was just a hasty glance, it also made him recognize her two years later...

After waiting for a while, seeing that he didn't reply, the old emperor put down the teacup in his hand strangely, and looked at the third son below.But he saw that he lowered his head slightly, his cheeks were slightly red.This is... shy?The old emperor couldn't help feeling a kind of good-natured laughter from a father towards his son. "Baby?" he called out.Mo Lanyan suddenly came back to her senses, and saw the emperor's father sitting on the dragon chair looking at him full of inquiry.He pursed his lips, put away his expression, and replied obediently, "The child is all under the orders of the emperor." The old emperor became more and more satisfied. "Okay! Then the royal father made an order. Now that Miss Jia is not yet ready, so the marriage is fixed first. I also asked the Jia family to prepare. In addition, I should send the nuns in the palace to Jia's mansion." Teach Miss Jia the rules of our palace. If the third lady of the Jia family behaves well in the past two years and does not make any big mistakes, and after two years you perform the ceremony of being crowned, the emperor will order Qin Tianjian to choose the zodiac. Auspicious day told you to finish the marriage. Are you satisfied with the royal father's arrangement?" Naturally, Mo Lanzhang didn't care about the morning and evening problems, although he had a good impression of the girl dancing in the peach blossoms flying all over the sky, but the girl still Little, he really wanted to give her another two years to enjoy the life of being pampered at home.Life in the palace is undoubtedly luxurious, cold and cautious.His imperial father used to prefer to hide all indifference and suspicion under warmth.He didn't want to find someone he likes in this life, because marrying him is not as noble as it seems on the surface.Since his mother's death, he has understood that the warmth he thought the man sitting on the dragon chair had towards his mother, as well as his love for himself and all his brothers, were all fake.He made everyone in the harem think that they were honored by him, heh~~~ It was just because of the chair under his seat.Therefore, he also understands that it is meaningless to fight like the elder brother and the fourth younger brother. The one who is high above all looks at him coldly, and only the honest and law-abiding one actually wins his eyes the most.He didn't want to find a powerful wives to raise his weight like his other brothers. Although he also had ambitions, he didn't want to rely on the spoiled little girl to suffer in the palace to achieve success.Simply obey the emperor's arrangement.But I didn't expect... It really is fate. I think only you can hear my flute, and your melody can only be matched by me.He suppressed the smile that was about to leak from the corner of his mouth, kowtowed and said, "Father's arrangement is very appropriate, I thank my father for your kindness." The old emperor laughed loudly when he saw this, "Hahahaha, my son's in a blink of an eye It has grown so big! Good! Good! Wu Zhiyuan, pass on my will. The third lady of the Rongguo Mansion, Jia Shi, is the hero of Yi Hongyi, loves Jimao Dian, and uses the Xie Yi badge. A beautiful and famous family, auspicious and Zhong Shide. Contains chapters and strives The style of writing Fang; Jinxi was honored, and he was blessed while Kexian was in charge. Two nuns in the palace were given to teach morality and rules. There was no mistake in doing it. Two years later, I will ask the third prince to be the concubine. Qinzai !" Because it was the prince's marriage, Wu Zhiyuan personally took the order and went to Jia's mansion to deliver the decree.

However, it is said that Mrs. Jia Muwang, who has slowly started to look after the most favored third girl from a family with a good family style, received such an order, undoubtedly like receiving a bolt from the blue.Although Jia's mother, an old lady with a deep family background, has already understood the emperor's intention to lift up the Jia family, the Jia family will inevitably attract more attention from others, and now Rongguo Mansion only has Jia Yao, the only daughter-in-law.But Jia's mother thought that she had set up a family for her little granddaughter earlier, so there shouldn't be any hindrance.Unexpectedly, the emperor would strike so early, and Jia Mu, who had already faintly smelled the unusual smell from Baoyu's promotion, was caught off guard. The royal decree cannot be defied, and Jia Mu had no choice but to accept it.Such a gift of marriage should have been a supreme honor, but Jia's mother understood that behind the supreme honor was actually a supreme crisis.Different from sending Yuan Chun to Gongbo for a rich future, the marriage of the young granddaughter is equivalent to directly pushing the family into the battle of the prince for the heir apparent.Compared with Jia's mother's worries about the future of Jia's family, Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang still feel sorry for their youngest daughter.The youngest daughter grew up pampered and pampered, how can she adapt to the life inside the high wall?However, no matter how reluctant she was, the foster mother had already arrived at Jia's residence.Jia Zheng and his wife can only accept the gift from the heavenly family, and they have no power to resist.
