[Red Mansions] Rebirth of Jia Mu's Ronghua Records

Prince Zhongshun didn't have any extraordinary talent in leading troops, and he didn't have the brave and unrestrained spirit of Jia She.He was on the front line, and most of the time he followed the leader's actions, never showing up—he was more suitable as a military adviser than a general.

Moreover, he exchanged the second prince with tricks, plus he was in the army, so his share of the credit was indispensable.But since he couldn't go into battle to kill the enemy, His Majesty asked him to return to Beijing with his soldiers when he changed defenses.

Prince Zhongshun is no longer that arrogant and somewhat indiscriminate young man. He knows that it is not impossible for him to stay in the front line, but those generals who have been killed with real swords and guns for their qualifications and official positions will be unhappy. As the prince's son, everyone does not look at the monk's face to see the Buddha's face, and they have to write him down in the credit book, regardless of whether he really contributed.

Why bother to occupy a seat there and offend others?Therefore, Prince Zhongshun received the order from the Holy Majesty, packed up his things happily, handed over to his colleagues and greeted the general, and then took people back to Beijing.

King Zhongyi has gone, but his son's prestige and talent are not enough to command thousands of troops. In addition, the people of Beidi took advantage of the fire to rob. There was also the encirclement of the Holy Majesty's army, and under the internal and external troubles, the sons of King Zhongyi really couldn't bear the pressure and started internal strife.

After leaving the second prince's place and returning to the East Palace study, the prince received this military report from the northwest.As expected, he was not so excited when he knew it.

Especially at this moment, the prince is really full of thoughts: the past is too bad to look back on, why did he never take the pillow wind seriously back then.

However, the third prince was born in the same year as the fourth prince, and got married in the same year. Now, in the past two years, the stomachs of the two concubines have not moved at all. Doesn't the birth mother of the two princes have to put their heart into Zhang Luo's concubine?

By the way, the Holy Majesty never interfered with his son's backyard, unless some jokes such as "wives and concubines vying for favor and concubines regardless of family and house restlessness" were made that would damage the royal family's face.

In fact, the two concubines are somewhat self-aware, and not so greedy: Lin Daiyu, as the granddaughter of Rong Guogong and the eldest daughter of the Hanlin Bachelor, can let her be a concubine, and the two families of the Rongfu and the Lin family are still The one who dare not be dissatisfied... is the only one.

The biological mothers of the two princes, especially the fourth prince, just wanted to take advantage of the Holy Majesty's arrival to ask for grace, first to point out the son to a good girl, and not to let the son use a palace maid to make do with it; second, several of her natal nephews also had For those who are outstanding and unmarried, marrying Daiyu not only benefits her mother's family, but also helps her son a lot, doesn't she?

It's a pity that these two concubines generously chose a concubine for their son, and they also asked a few words about Lin Xueshi's girl when they were talking at the Queen Mother's place-involving these two things together, secretly reminding the Holy Majesty that it is the newly promoted Concubine, the second prince's biological mother.

The two concubines calmed down, and while chatting with his second brother, the prince finally realized how many hidden arrows and open spears his mother had protected him when he was still alive... and his second brother sighed with emotion, and laughed at himself: "I It's stupid enough, and the third and fourth brothers are even less smart, let's see the fifth brother, their mother and son take the opportunity to rise."

That is to say, the second prince knew that he was hopeless, but when getting along with him, he found that his eldest brother was actually an honest person, at least he would not repay favors, so he knew everything.

The more the crown prince listened, the less he liked it. After he parted with his second brother, he ran back to the East Palace and sat quietly for half an afternoon. Then he invited the crown princess and asked in a roundabout way: Do you know the "whereabouts" of the Holy Majesty?

The Crown Princess smiled sweetly, and whispered a few words in her husband's ear: The Holy Majesty rests most often in the Imperial Concubine's Palace, and the other concubines see the Holy Majesty the same number of times, but the Holy Majesty is often in a bad mood when he comes out of the Palace of the Mother of the Fifth Prince. most……

The prince's expression at this time is not very "beautiful", but what the princess should say is still to say: Even if they are a husband and wife, the emperor values ​​them, and they have two sons, they still cannot underestimate the heroes of the world.Besides, the younger brothers are growing up gradually. As a father, the Holy Majesty must leave some property to each of the sons so that they can "support the family", right?

The Crown Princess has already asked her close friends who came to see the Empress Dowager, and the answer was as she expected: the person who occupied that seat in the previous life was the Fifth Prince.

And Shi Lingyi also spoke highly of the fifth prince, and he did not forget to remind her to be careful and obedient to the prince. In the previous life, after the fifth prince ascended the throne, the power and power of this prince was no less than that of the current prime minister.

The prince just let the concubine speak on his mind, and after a long silence, he said melancholy: "The days to come... will not be easy."

Seeing that the Northwest is pacified, it is imminent to gather soldiers and break them up and reorganize them. The father and emperor will only hand over military power to his cronies, and he will send a prince to lead and dispose of the people and reconstruction.

There are still two vassal kings in the Southwest, how many opportunities and leeway are there for the younger brothers, and even the clans to show off.

To be honest, the prince was not worried about any younger brother threatening his status at this time.However, with the deliberate support of their father, they were able to increase their knowledge and talents, and they could also develop their power and cultivate manpower with peace of mind.According to the past, one day when he ascended to that position, his younger brothers might be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with the two vassal kings of the Southwest today, and he, like his father, would have to bite the bullet and clean up the mess left by the late emperor.

The more the prince thought about it, the more he felt his chest was tight, but even in front of his most trusted and beloved wife, he could only tell half of what was on his mind and hide the other half.

However, the princess and concubine have been human for two lives, so how could she not guess her husband's true thoughts?She almost burst into tears when she heard it: Your Highness, you know how to guard against your younger brothers, control their power, and you know how to give them eye drops at the right time...

My family has a husband who has just grown up!

Anticipating that it might not go well in the future, the prince was depressed for a while, but the princess was secretly happy.However, the prince didn't use his wife's persuasion, and he turned around himself: when his father was the prince, he met him... Cough cough, the more suspicious grandfather, life is much more difficult than him!

So the enlightened prince decided to be filial to his father.

And when the princess is idle in the East Palace, she also asks the prince's concubines to talk together - don't be soft when it's time to stand up, and don't be stingy when it's time to show favor.Don't ask if they can really help the prince, as long as they don't hold back, don't betray the master, the princess will be satisfied.

Having said that, among the crown prince's concubines, Yuan Chun is naturally the most knowledgeable, especially when she was temporarily handling the internal affairs of the Eastern Palace, she did not take the opportunity to fill her own pockets and install people. More and more cheerful.

During the conversation, they talked about Baochai.

In other words, female historians don't have to wait until they are old before leaving the palace like court ladies.And if there is no noble person to choose the female history, she can also invite her out of the palace to marry herself after a few years.Because they have experienced in the palace, most of the female historians are not worried about marrying, except for those who are too high-minded and low-handed.

Because Baochai's marriage has been decided, the whole person is also relaxed.No longer thinking about "struggling to climb higher branches", her eyebrows showed a sense of not striving to be the first, but her cousin Yuan Chun also gave her a high look.

It must be known that in order to win the favor of nobles, Baochai's lingering urgency and deliberate flattery in words and deeds displeased both the prince and princess.

Both the crown prince and Yuan Chun felt that the second son of the concubine of Xining was a rare match.After talking about Baochai, Yuanchun recounted the new things he had heard recently, such as the fifth prince and the eldest daughter of Master Lin, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, who were about the same age...

"Master Lin's eldest daughter" refers to Daiyu.

Yuan Chun just said it casually, and at this time the fifth prince was following closely the steps of the prince's elder brother, she didn't think there was anything wrong.

The crown princess's expression froze when she heard the words, she immediately took a sip of tea, and wrote lightly: "The marriage of the princes can only be decided by the empress dowager and the holy majesty."

When Yuan Chun heard the words, he immediately got up and respectfully led the training.

However, Yuan Chun really reminded her that when the mothers of the third and fourth princes were inquiring about the concubine for their sons, the girls they mentioned, especially the eldest daughter of Mrs. Lin, were the best born and the most important. He thought that because the two concubines had bad intentions, if they were angry, they would point this girl to the fifth prince with a swipe of a pen...

The Crown Princess finally understood why the Holy Majesty scolded the mother of the Fourth Prince when she mentioned Lord Lin's eldest daughter. It turned out that it wasn't just the imperial concubine who was blowing the pillow wind!

The five princes, mother and son have always been restrained and cautious, and never show their dew, but this move... really shouldn't be underestimated!

And Daiyu was at her grandfather's house, how could she know that she was thinking of so many nobles in the palace at the same time.

But now Daiyu is pulling Xiangyun, pointing to the various nets on the table, and asking softly, "What's going on?"

Xiangyun's father left early, and her uncle's younger sister was much older than her, so Shi Lingyi would often pick this girl up to study with her cousins.And Shi Lingyi also specially asked her granddaughters and granddaughters: Xiangyun is the youngest, take good care of her, don't let others neglect her.

Xiangyun's eyes are still bloodshot because of rushing to work at night, "Sister Xiren sent someone to send it, saying it was for Brother Bao."

When Daiyu heard this, her brows frowned, but she said, "That's all, don't have to work so hard in the future. Brother Bao must thank you very much."

Xiangyun smiled and said: "Brother Bao is going out again, he must bring me some new books. I really like the bamboo pen holder and green clay incense burner last time."

Daiyu said, "When he comes, tell him yourself."

Daiyu and Baoyu are the most acquainted, knowing that if Baoyu asks for something, he will ask for it face to face.This matter must be caused by the big girl in Baoyu's room attacking people, relying on the fact that she has served Xiangyun before, she made such troubles in Baoyu's name!

Grandfather's family has never raised idlers, and now the second aunt and the younger aunt are raising babies, and it is rare for someone to come to serve; and the two cousins, Jia Yuan and Jia Ying, are preparing dowry, and they are also employing people. Too busy... But you are a big girl, how can you order a decent official lady to do your work for you?

It is said that most of Rong Mansion's current servants are the wives, daughters and grandchildren of Jia Daishan and Jia She's relatives, they know the basics and are trustworthy, only a few households are bought by Shuining from outside.

This attacker is not a family child.

But Daiyu is also in a dilemma at the moment: should she tell Baoyu secretly and let him handle it by herself, or should she directly complain to her grandmother?And the second aunt's pregnancy seemed unsafe, and Xiangyun was from my grandmother's natal family... My grandmother knew that the second aunt and brother Bao were probably to blame.

No matter how simple and straightforward Xiangyun was, she didn't really lose her eyes. She saw that Daiyu seemed to have something on her mind, so she asked, "What's the matter with you?"

Daiyu wanted to mention a few words about Xiangyun, remembering that this younger sister was only twelve years old, so she had to think carefully about her words, but she didn't have time to speak, and the eldest girl came to report: Ningfuzhen's second grandma, Xiaoyue, is here.

The author has something to say: In fact, when the crown prince was proving the truth of "destroyed", he recalled how much fun he had brought to others by being silly and sweet. The joke is gone, and my heart is balanced again.
