[Red Mansions] Minruo Spring Breeze Returns to Dream

No.60 Four times Jia Min suspects Jia Zhen's alliance

After Lu Liangyuan gave birth to a son, Wan Guiren also gave birth to a princess, the third princess.Although he is not a prince, Wan Guiren still has meritorious service in giving birth to an imperial heir, and was promoted to be Wan Liangdi, but the third princess was taken to be raised by the queen.

"It doesn't matter if you give birth to princes and princesses, you still can't be pampered, and you can't even raise your own children. Even if you are promoted, it's nothing more than that." Jia Yuanchun faced the bronze mirror, and put scarlet ruby ​​earrings on his ear beads , the slender eyebrows were slightly raised, and the ironic smile on the corner of the mouth could not be concealed no matter what. "I heard that Cousin Lin's wife is pregnant,"

"Yes, I heard it's been five months, but the young mistress has never given her husband a side, but it is said that this is also what Uncle Lin himself meant." Baoqin held an exquisitely crafted gold-studded upside-down lotus step Shake it to Jia Yuanchun's hairpin.The flying bun made of long hair made Jia Yuanchun's oval face extraordinarily charming, and the slightly hanging tassels on Bu Yao's shoulders fell to the ears, reflecting the earrings, which were extraordinarily enchanting.

"It's a pity, our Jia family doesn't have girls of the right age, otherwise it would be nice to be a concubine for Cousin Lin." Looking around, Jia Yuanchun said again, "By the way, I heard that Yingchun will be [-] this year, right?" , what does the old lady mean?"

"This servant doesn't know either. Although the second girl is raised by the old lady's side, she is still a girl from the eldest house. The eldest wife has always had her own opinions. I'm afraid that the second girl's marriage is also her own decision." Baoqin The hand that picked up the old kiln ten sample brocade teacup shook, almost shaking the water out of the cup.She stabilized her mind and said, "Besides, the eldest wife has always disliked our second wife's meddling in the affairs of the eldest wife. In the past, the second wife wanted to be a matchmaker and asked Lian Erye to marry a girl from the Wang family, but the eldest wife also refused. "

"Being unable to be the master at the beginning does not mean that I cannot be the master now. When I ask the emperor's will to marry the second sister, even if my aunt disagrees, I will not be able to resist the order." Jia Yuanchun snorted and said, "Besides, the second sister is nothing but She is a concubine, and she is blessed only if she gets a finger marriage."

"The little master means..." Could it be that he wanted to marry the second girl to Uncle Lin as his equal wife?

"Let's take a look again, there are many children from aristocratic families." Jia Yuanchun was not stupid, and naturally knew that it was impossible for him to meddle in the affairs of the Lin family, and assigned Jia Yingchun to Lin Jinshu.Moreover, Lin Jinshu's wife is the empress's niece, what she did would only make the empress hate her.However, if Yingchun's marriage can be used to win a good family for the Rongguo Mansion, it will also help her situation in the harem.

After all, the former dynasty and the harem are closely related.

Once Prince Gong's marriage is concluded, the days when Prince An and Prince Gong will leave the separate mansion are also fixed.Since Li En was pregnant with the child and it was inconvenient to move around, Jia Min only asked Cui Liu to send congratulatory gifts to Yao Xing and Zhuang Wanrou, but did not mention visiting.Of course, this is also because of the identity of Lin Ruhai and Lin Jinshu.It is really more inconvenient for the important ministers and their sons to contact the prince than the prince.

"I haven't seen you, mother and daughter, for a long time." The queen mother specially said, asking Jia Min and Lin Daiyu to come to the palace to have an audience.

"The empress dowager cares about holding her grandson, and the concubine is also waiting to hold her grandson." Jia Min replied with a smile, "I can't ask her to take care of the trivial affairs of the family when the daughter-in-law is pregnant, so I call her daughter-in-law." My son helped me. This kid is also smart, and he started learning as soon as he learned it, but he helped me a lot."

"Come on, your daughter-in-law is five months pregnant." The Queen Mother said.

"Exactly." Jia Min was a little surprised, "Why did the Queen Mother mention her?"

"Recently, some people have been chattering and gossiping in the ears of the Ai family, saying that the young mistress of the Lin family is not willing to accept her husband's side even though she is pregnant, so the Ai family asked you to ask." The queen mother is not a person who likes to listen to gossip It's just that I can't stand those concubines who came to pay their respects to say this in secret, wanting to tarnish the reputation of the queen's natal girls, so I ask this question.

"Shu'er's daughter-in-law originally thought about giving her side, but the child of Shu'er said that she had learned a lot from the elders of the Hanlin Academy recently, and that her official duties were not easy, so she took many old documents and went home to discuss them. Read, there is no need to talk about the matter of Na side for the time being. The daughter-in-law of Shu persuaded him several times and he didn't listen, so he had no choice but to let go." Jia Min comforted Lin Daiyu who was a little worried, and said with a smile, "It turns out that someone is gossiping around the Queen Mother. That's why the queen mother asked us mother and daughter to enter the palace. After all, the queen mother has a grandson Chenghuan, but she forgot about the concubine and Yu'er."

"The person who also said that he was going to have a grandson is now naive again." The Queen Mother joked, "Actually, this matter is just a matter of the back room, and somehow the people in Concubine Kang's Palace knew about it." Yes. The news also came from Concubine Kang’s palace, that’s why all the concubines in the harem were talking about it. The Ai family had already reprimanded them, and punishing those who gossip about their tongues for three months is considered a small punishment and a big warning. The most taboo in the palace is that someone has private information, so don't mind it."

"The concubine knows." Jia Min was also a little surprised when the Queen Mother mentioned Concubine Kang. The Lin family and the Yuan family had never had any deep hatred, nor did they have any contacts. Is there anything worthy of Concubine Kang's doing this, just to ruin the girl from the Li family? fame?But even so, what good can she gain herself?

"I've asked the queen to investigate this matter, you don't have to worry." The queen mother comforted again.

"I thank the Queen Mother for taking care of me." Jia Min blessed himself.

"Okay. Come on, Yu'er, ask Ai's family to have a look." Having said this, the Queen Mother beckoned Lin Daiyu to come to her side, and told Jia Min: "Go to the Queen's Palace first."

"Did the queen mother tell you?" Just as Jia Min sat down, the queen cut straight to the point.

"Yes. If the Empress Dowager hadn't reminded me, I wouldn't know what was being said about Shu's daughter-in-law." After all, Jia Min had a lot of knowledge and quickly calmed down.Just thinking about the unsuspecting daughter-in-law who is still raising a baby at home, Jia Min said, "It's strange to say, this matter is clearly a matter between their young couple, and somehow it was introduced into the palace. It made the queen mother angry."

"I asked my sister-in-law about this matter. There were no such rumors outside, but somehow it became such a rumor in the palace." The queen has been in charge of the harem for many years, and she will naturally investigate this matter, "But you also Don't worry too much, the queen mother has spoken, if such remarks are spread outside, she will be put in limbo if she finds out. Now the concubines in the palace are always restraining their own palace people, for fear that this matter will spread to the outside world. "

But Jia Min always felt that this matter had little to do with Concubine Kang.Her son has just been separated from the government, and he can only live under the empress's command in the palace, so she will definitely not do such a thing that damages the reputation of the empress's natal girl, as long as someone is framing her.And there are quite a few people who have grudges against Concubine Kang in this palace, and it is not easy to track down.

"I always feel that this matter is not that simple." Jia Min pointed out, "Concubine Kang is the biological mother of Prince Gong and an old man who has served the emperor for many years, so she will not be so ignorant of etiquette. Therefore, I think that , someone deliberately planted a frame to blame, just to bring down Concubine Kang."

"What Mrs. Lin said is exactly what I guessed, and who that person is, I have already found out some clues." The queen was confident, "In short, I will not make En'er suffer from being dumb. No matter who it is, both If you can do it, don’t blame me for not being able to accommodate people.” Involving the ministers of the former court and spreading rumors in the harem, do you really think that you can cover the sky with one hand!

Seeing that the queen was also very annoyed by such behavior, Jia Min felt relieved, and said: "The empress has made up her mind, so the concubine can feel at ease."

"Speaking of which, I need to tell you something." The Queen took a sip of tea to calm down, "Jia Wanyi and Concubine Hui seem to be getting very close recently, and I don't know much about the former dynasty in the harem. Are you The daughter of the Jia family's direct relative must also know about it, but the Jia family and the Zhen family have known each other for a long time?"

Jia Min's heart trembled, Jia Yuanchun and Zhen Lan got very close, could it be that they are hooking up?Hearing the queen's question again, Jia Min bit her lower lip, thought for a moment and then replied: "My concubine's ancestral home is Jinling, and the Zhen family also made their fortune in Jinling, so they can be regarded as family friends. It's just that I married early, so I know There are not many, so I only know that the two families have been in contact with each other, but I don't know if the contact is too much."

"I see." The Queen nodded, "It's getting late, Madam Lin may have to go to the Queen Mother to bring Yu'er back. I won't leave you to continue talking."

Jia Min hurriedly stood up and left.The queen's questioning today is absolutely unusual, it seems that Jia Yuanchun and Zhen Lan really got mixed up.In the previous life, Zhen's family was ransacked, and their property was taken over by the Wang family and hidden in the mansion. Although the fate has changed in this life, the end is just as miserable.She should also remind her sister-in-law that Wang's death is not a pity, but she should not be allowed to implicate innocent people.And who is the person who spread rumors in the palace? !

Back in the mansion, Jia Min hurriedly told Lin Ruhai what happened today, and also told about the alliance between Jia Yuanchun and Zhen Lan, and said: "I don't know who we offended, and dare to spread such rumors in the palace. .If Shu's daughter-in-law finds out, I'm afraid she will be heartbroken."

"Fortunately, the empress dowager and the empress are both talking now, and there are no such unbearable rumors among the people. We will naturally know who the culprit is when the empress finds out the culprit." The main target of the rumor is not us, but the empress in the palace, just wait."

Sure enough, within eight days after Jia Min entered the palace, news came from the palace that Concubine Hui had assaulted Concubine Kang. The top card for three months as punishment.At the same time, Murong Meiren also joined the ranks of vying for favor.

It was only at this time that Zhen Lan realized that Jia Yuanchun's suggestion that she could bribe Concubine Kang's palace servants to spread rumors and offer advice to her was just to kill two birds with one stone.No one would doubt that Jia Yuanchun dared to bet on the reputation of his relatives to make her unjust. It's ridiculous that he had listened to it so stupidly, and now he was degraded and banned.

"Jia Yuanchun, when I come out of the ground, I will show you how good I am!"
