The Warm Jade of the Red Chamber

Zhuang Yu and Daiyu lived in the palace for five days, and the queen treated them as if they were her own children. Zhuang Yu shared a kang with Zhuang Yan, and Daiyu lived with Zhuang Kewei.

To say that it is not in compliance with the rules, there are indeed some, but the Supreme Emperor thinks it is so good, who would pick this reason?There is no need to offend the Taishanghuang, the emperor's queen, and Prince Chengke's family in a series, and there is no benefit at all.After all, the Supreme Emperor gave up asking his youngest son's family to abide by the strict rules a long time ago, and it has become natural for him to get used to it.

Zhuang Yan and Zhuang Yu still had to go to the study during the day, and in the afternoon they would practice martial arts at the school, so they could come back earlier, meet Zhuang Kewei and Daiyu at the Taishanghuang's place, chat and laugh with the Taishanghuang for a while, and then went back to the Queen's place.

When Daiyu and Zhuang Kewei didn't go to the Supreme Emperor's place, they spent most of their time by the Queen's side, so when Jia Yuanchun, on behalf of Lanfu Palace, came to greet the Queen with all the harem concubines, Daiyu saw this cousin for the first time face.

Not long after Jia Yuanchun married into the palace, he took charge of the palace affairs of Lanfu Palace, just because the eldest princess Qian Shi was about to give birth.This is the first grandchild of Emperor Chunyou, so the palace naturally attaches great importance to it.

The first concubine was due to give birth during this period, and it was already very inconvenient to move around. The empress also excused her early on, telling her to raise her baby with peace of mind.

However, Mrs. Qian is a strong person. Her father is a minister of the Ministry of Rites. Even though she loves this old woman very much, she has never neglected her teachings. Therefore, Mrs. Qian is very unwilling to let people say that she is arrogant because of being favored, so even the queen She spared her greetings, and she still went to Kunming Palace to report every day.

Until Jia Yuanchun married in, Zhuang Wei was also looking forward to the eldest son, so he asked Qian to hand over the management of palace affairs to Jia Yuanchun to take care of the baby.

Jia Yuanchun was carefully taught by Jia's mother since he was a child, and he has no fear in the matter of being a housekeeper. He can take power as soon as he enters the house. Spirit and determination must not be underestimated by others.So when the Qian family handed over the power to Jia Yuanchun, even though she used some tricks to get her confidantes to trip her up, Jia Yuanchun didn't make any mistakes because of this, and still managed it well.

This made Qian Shi very jealous of her.

Qian's was about to give birth, and her heart was not stable at all. Seeing that her husband married a daughter of a great family, she was not inferior to her in all aspects of talent and appearance, and she was even more depressed.The mood affects the body, and I feel uncomfortable.Qian Shi was finally scared. She knew the importance of this child, and when the queen spared her to pay her respects again, she stopped being hypocritical and obediently stayed in Lanfu Palace to raise the baby.

After all, even if she is not happy, it has become an established fact that Jia Yuanchun will take care of the palace affairs of Lanfu Palace, and it will be useless for her to pester her any longer. It is better for the husband to have a healthy grandson, and then plan to take it back. Gong Quan is not too late.

At that time, Jia Yuanchun was too polite because she wanted to stand out for a while, and later she was severely suppressed by the female officials above, but because of this, her temperament was worn down a bit, and she was not as sharp as before.After a person suffers a loss, he will always grow faster.Jia Yuanchun can be said to have gained a lot of wisdom by eating a ditch, now he is quite measured in his actions, and he will never go out of line easily.And Qian's wholeheartedly cared about the child in her belly, so she couldn't find fault with her for a while.

Mrs. Qian held back her breath, Jia Yuanchun's affairs became more and more smooth, and she held the power in her hand, the palace people of Lanfu Palace did not dare to neglect her in the slightest.Therefore, Jia Yuanchun did not experience the embarrassment and grievances that may be encountered as a side concubine.

This also made Jia Yuanchun uncontrollably have some delusions in his heart.Although she is a side concubine, she doesn't feel that the world is complete because of this.She was able to take power as soon as she entered the door, which made her full of confidence in her future.But after all she is young, she just got married, and she hasn't had any malicious thoughts, most likely she is secretly praying to God and Buddha, hoping that Qian's family will have a princess, so that she can come from behind and give birth to the eldest son.As for secretly harming Qian or her unborn baby, Jia Yuanchun still dare not, what's more, she is only in power for the first time and has not had time to install people. Can't do it now.

What she has to do now is to take advantage of Qian's inconvenience, seize the time to arrange manpower, please the Queen and Concubine Jiang Hui, and strengthen her position before Qian's postpartum comeback.

Therefore, even though Qian's concubine was not conceived, Jia Yuanchun greeted the queen without hesitation, and then followed Concubine Jiang Hui to Huixin Palace to flatter her.

Now seeing Daiyu at the Empress's place, this cousin whom Jia Yuanchun had only heard about, Jia Yuanchun couldn't help but quietly scrutinized her carefully.

In fact, Daiyu heard Jia Min mention this cousin in the early years, saying that she was raised by her grandmother, and she was born on the first day of the new year, so she must be lucky.It's just that her mother's tone at that time was indifferent and not warm, so Daiyu didn't feel any yearning for this cousin.

Although the two cousins ​​have met each other now, they can't talk about sisters.Since they are married into the royal family, they naturally talk about their relatives from the standpoint of their husband's family, not to mention that there is also a status.

In terms of status, Zhuang Wei is the eldest son of the emperor, so his status is naturally higher than that of Zhuang Yu. If Mrs. Qian was present, Daiyu would have to salute Mrs. Qian.But Jia Yuanchun was only a side concubine, but she wanted to salute Daiyu.

Therefore, after Daiyu saluted Concubine Jiang Hui, Concubine Zheng Jing, Concubine Sun Shun, Concubine Li Ning, Concubine Ling and Concubine Wan, it was Jia Yuanchun who saluted her.

Jia Yuanchun saluted Daiyu graciously, with an intimate smile on her face, but no one noticed that she was being pinched by her nails.

Because of the name change, Jia Yuanchun didn't have a good impression of Prince Chengke's Mansion.If Zhuang Yan changed the word "Yuan" for her because of taboo, then the word "Yuan" proposed by Zhuang Ye is a bit bad.

Because of her dissatisfaction with Prince Chengke's Mansion, and as far as she knew, Daiyu had no relationship with Jia's Mansion. She felt that Daiyu looked down on their Jia Mansion because she picked up a high branch and flew away, so she didn't have anything to do with Daiyu. Good impression.Now that I am so much older, but I have to salute Daiyu because of my status, it is inevitable that I feel more and more awkward.

Daiyu smiled kindly at Jia Yuanchun, no matter what, she is her own cousin, even if she is not familiar with her, there is no need to ignore her like a stranger.

Everyone met each other, and Daiyu naturally received a lot of compliments and various gifts.

Because Concubine Jiang Hui gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor, she was obviously the head of the four concubines. In front of the empress, she was the one who had the loudest jokes.Now is the time when Zhuang Wei needs the support of his wife and family, so Concubine Jiang Hui is still kind in front of the two daughters-in-law, and doesn't often tell them to set rules.Especially in front of the queen, she did not hesitate to show her amiable side, and from time to time greeted Jia Yuanchun who was standing behind her.

Concubine Zheng Jing, who gave birth to the second son of the emperor, Zhuang Xin, was from a lower family background. She was only a concubine in the East Palace. If you leave the palace, you will not go out.Even Zhuang Xin, who was brought up by her, has a dull temperament, and now he is about to marry his concubine.

Concubine Sun Shun, who gave birth to the fourth son of the emperor, Zhuang Zhuo, and Concubine Li Ning, who gave birth to the third princess Zhuang Keqian, also brought their children with them this time, but they spent most of their attention on the children. Anyway, Emperor Chunyou was not in the palace, so there was nothing to argue about. snatched.

Zhuang Zhuo has just turned two years old, and he is still a little shaky when walking. Zhuang Keqian is a bit older, four years old this year, and they are all baby dolls younger than Daiyu.Seeing Daiyu, who was about the same age as them, the two children were obviously very happy, and Zhuang Zhuo even struggled in the nurse's arms and rushed to Daiyu's side.

Emperor Chunyou had four sons and three daughters so far. Among them, Zhuang Wei, the eldest son, and Zhuang Keai, the eldest daughter, are already married.Zhuang Yan lived in Zhaoyi Palace, not far from the Queen's Kunming Palace.Zhuang Zhuo and Zhuang Keqian still lived with their biological mother.

The princes and princesses of the royal family are not very close if they are not of the same mother. What's more, Zhuang Zhuo and Zhuang Keqian don't have siblings of the same age to play with. Seeing Daiyu, isn't it very curious?

Concubine Sun Shun and Concubine Li Ning are also happy that their children are close to Daiyu. Why not befriend Prince Chengke's mansion who is most favored by the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor?They were not like Concubine Jiang Hui and Zhuang Wei, who were busy saying goodbye to Zhuang Yan, and even made Prince Chengke's mansion their opponents.

Under the expectation of Concubine Sun Shun and Concubine Li Ning, and under the connivance of the queen, Zhuang Zhuo and Zhuang Keqian successfully played together with Daiyu.

Zhuang Kewei is the elder sister, so she naturally plays with her younger siblings, very gentle and peaceful.

Zhuang Zhuo is very curious about Daiyu, a strange sister, and likes her appearance very much. He always stays beside her, with round eyes and a ignorant appearance. He is very cute and listens to Daiyu's words very much. , let you do whatever you want.

Concubine Sun Shun was amazed, and said: "Zhao'er is usually very mischievous, just like a monkey, but today she is very cute, could it be that one thing falls one thing, just happened to meet her nemesis?"

Zhuang Zhuo sucked his finger in his mouth, saliva dripped down his finger, Daiyu saw it and wiped it clean for him with a handkerchief.

"Sister," Zhuang Zhuo called happily, "Sister Pretty."

"Pfft." Zhuang Zhuo's voice amused the people present, and even the queen couldn't help but smile.

Zhuang Yu, who had just walked to the door, suddenly turned dark.

After the eunuch reported, Zhuang Yan and Zhuang Yu walked in, and after saluting each other, Zhuang Yu glared at Zhuang Zhuo, and unceremoniously stepped forward to take Daiyu away from Zhuang Zhuo. He was strong, but Daiyu was thin and thin. It is not difficult to hold Daiyu.In fact, he wanted to lift Zhuang Zhuo up and throw him into the arms of his nanny, but now that his identity is different, it is inconvenient in front of the queen and all the concubines, so he had to snatch his own wife away.

Zhuang Zhuo saw his beautiful sister being snatched away by his evil brother, and he was about to howl immediately.Zhuang Kewei immediately coaxed him into her arms, and couldn't help laughing at Zhuang Yu: "What are you doing? You're fussing over a child."

"Hey," all the concubines couldn't help laughing, especially Concubine Jiang Hui the loudest, "Is our little prince jealous? Sure enough, just like what the emperor said about Prince Chengke, he is doomed to be ruled by the princess for the rest of his life."

As soon as Concubine Jiang Hui's words came out, the atmosphere in the room instantly became a little colder.

Concubine Jiang Hui's words, on the surface, were just teasing Zhuang Yu, but after careful consideration, it was very inappropriate.

As one of the four concubines, it's nothing to tease a prince's son, but in her teasing, the dignified prince was also involved, which was a little over the top.However, she explained that this was what the emperor said, and it was not good for the empress to reprimand her face to face.

The most important thing is that Concubine Jiang Hui's words are intended to show the difference in her status around Emperor Chunyou. Speaking of her younger brother in such a teasing tone in front of her concubine, this is treating Concubine Jiang Hui as Zhuang Ye's sister-in-law up?

For a moment, the eyes of Concubine Sun Shun and Concubine Li Ning could not help but turn several times between the queen and Concubine Jiang Hui.
