Red House Farm Stay
Chapter 78
Jia Zhuo just put the hosta flower on this end, and Ping'er had already arrived at her room, nodded and said: "This flower is really blooming, the color is like white jade, and the fragrance is fragrant. I was negligent, I should add some flowers and trees at home. .”
"It doesn't need to be so troublesome. After adding flowers and trees, do I need to add a gardener to take care of them? Besides, Brother An is still young, and there are mosquitoes in summer and pollen in spring. If there is something wrong, I feel so distressed." Jia Zhuo shook his head. Planting two pots of flowers is just for fun, not worth the hype.
"It's still Qiaojie who loves people." Ping'er smiled, and changed the subject, "The Empress sent someone over and gave you a lot of things. I will take you to the palace to see you in five days."
Mother Zhang and Fu'er brought in two boxes, and there was a box of fabrics. Jia Zhuo took a look and found Doro. The duoluo blanket on the bed, you like to bite things when you sleep, and you chewed up a corner of the blanket. The second grandma was afraid that you would eat it, so she specially changed it to Yunsi's quilt, no matter how much you bite, you won't be afraid."
Jia Zhuo has no memory of what happened when he was a child, but he understands Ping'er's feelings very well. The things he used to before are just ordinary.Suddenly one day, I fell from the clouds into the mud, only to realize that the difference is so big.
"The beaded flowers made by this pair of pink gemstones are very suitable, just matching the flower crown your father prepared for you." Ping'er pointed to a box of jewelry again, which was a set of colorful gemstones. Some of them she didn't need now, Ping'er So my son helped her choose two pearl flowers.
In addition to these, there was a tea set, a set of saucers, and some knickknacks for little girls.It can be seen that these things are carefully prepared, and it is obvious that the empress is very concerned about her niece.
Ping'er also felt it, and said with a smile: "After all, it's my aunt and nephew. You have to thank your mother well after you enter the palace."
"I will." Jia Zhuo was not as happy as Ping'er. Ping'er only thought she was nervous and hurried to comfort her.
"Don't be afraid when you hear about learning the rules. Our sister Qiao is so smart, she will definitely learn it quickly."
A few days later, Jia Zhuo just wanted to ask sadly and angrily, who said she could learn it as soon as she learned it.She never knew that walking, eating, drinking tea, and even speaking had so many rules to follow.
After finally surviving until the day of entering the palace, everything was packed, and the palace had already sent a carriage to pick them up.
"Our mother was looking forward to it early in the morning. So this is the eldest lady, and she is somewhat similar to our mother." The girls in the palace greeted them with smiling faces.
"I'm bothering Aunt Duan again." Ping'er took Jia Zhuo's hand into the car.
Jia Zhuo didn't know what the imperial palace looked like. He only knew that the car stopped at the entrance of the palace, and two small sedan chairs arrived.
"Now I can only work hard for Madam, our mother said, it will be fine." Aunt Duan said to Ping'er on the road.
"Women don't work hard, they've overcome all the hardships, and it's good now." Ping'er's face was calm, without any sign of reluctance.
Jia Zhuo followed her and saw a small sedan next to her passing by. He obviously passed a few steps and stopped again. Someone lifted the curtain of the sedan, and a lady in the sedan was sitting in it.
"Is it Mrs. Jia?" The person in the sedan chair did not get down, but sat and asked.
Ping'er stepped forward and bowed slightly, "Greetings to Madam, the civilian woman just entered the palace to greet the Empress Empress, I never expected to meet Madam, but I greet you first."
The lady in the sedan chair was stunned for a moment, her expression changed suddenly, and she said with a sneer, "Isn't this a coincidence? I won't delay you, let's talk better next time."
Jia Zhuo saw people sitting in sedan chairs and they were walking, and only then did he understand what Aunt Duan meant.There are many rules in the palace, what kind of status can sit in the sedan chair, and where to sit, are all particular.They are civilians, so the last section of the road has to be walked in.
No one dared to talk too much about the fact that Jia Peng did not give any reward to the Jia family after being sealed.After all, the Jia family was copied by the emperor alone, and it has been sealed back in just a few years, wouldn't it be a laughing stock.The Jia family understood, so what they expected was never the emperor, but the seventh prince.
As long as there is the Seventh Prince, the Jia family has a future, time is nothing, they can afford to wait.
In Fengzao Palace where the queen lived, Jia Peng finally saw the child who was rescued by Grandma Liu and could only return home now.
"Poor man, I didn't expect that our aunt and nephew would meet again. When I was young, I often hugged you. Do you remember?"
Jia Zhuo was embraced by the queen, and he didn't know how to let go of his embarrassing hands and feet.
"Sister Qiao had a serious illness that day, and she forgot many things from the past." It was Ping'er who stepped forward to relieve the siege.
"Forget it, forget it, we just need to remember the future, everything must be good."
"Your Majesty said that it is a good thing, and it must be a good thing." Ping'er answered the words again.
The Empress released Jia Zhuo and gave them a seat to sit beside her and talk.
Jia Zhuo only answered when asked, otherwise he would not speak easily.Seeing the worried eyes of the empress, Ping'er bit the bullet and said: "Sister Qiao just came back, and she hasn't learned all the rules yet, so it's inevitable that she feels a little uncomfortable."
"My place is different from your own home. Would I still choose your gift?" Jia Peng sighed and stroked Jia Zhuo's hair.
"I like this child at first glance, but it's too quiet. It's better for children to be lively." Jia Peng glanced at Ping'er, with disappointment in his eyes.
Ping'er's expression became tense, and she quickly stood up and said, "What the empress said is that I didn't take good care of Miss Qiao."
"I don't blame you, didn't you just come back?" The implication is that it will be like this in the future, so it's your fault.
"Thank you, Ma'am, for your compassion." Ping'er almost broke out in a cold sweat. Although this aunt of the Jia family was in Jia's house, she had been with her for many years.But with the change of identity, she became more and more confusing.
As soon as Ping'er took Jia Zhuo away, Aunt Duan told the Queen about the section on the road.Jia Peng didn't even raise his eyebrows, "It's all a trivial matter. When congratulating, she still wants to kowtow to Ben Gong."
"Oh, I feel sorry for my lady. It's your sister-in-law after all. It's a disadvantage if I don't have a status." Aunt Duan was annoyed, and she was planning to give some color to this concubine Qing's palace next time she saw her. .
"Concubine Qing is an old man in the palace, and she has raised the fifth prince. Her natal family has a high rank, and my sister-in-law is just a civilian woman. It is only natural for her to see her."
"What are you talking about? How did I hear Concubine Qing's name? What's wrong with her?" No one informed, the emperor just walked in.
"Why is Your Majesty here now? Have you eaten yet?" Jia Peng hurriedly greeted the Emperor.
"I came here after using it. I heard that you kept your natal family for dinner. You should be happy. Why, are they ignorant?"
Jia Peng looked at him tenderly, "You have enough to worry about outside things, why bother with these trivial matters, there is no shortage, take a short nap and let my concubine rub your shoulders for you."
"I'm a little tired."
"Madam, Concubine Qing has brought the Fifth Prince over here." Aunt Duan said in the softest voice almost tiptoeing.
Jia Peng glanced at the sleeping emperor, shook his head and said: "Let her go first, the emperor has too little rest these days, it's rare to sleep so deeply."
"Yes." Aunt Duan withdrew.
After a while, Aunt Duan walked in again with a helpless expression.
"Concubine Qing said that her natal family violated your sister-in-law, and she came here specially to make amends."
"What's the crime?" Jia Peng stood up, "Take her to the side hall, don't disturb the emperor."
"What's the matter?" The emperor was sleeping just right, but was disturbed by the noise from outside the hall, and opened his eyes in displeasure.
"It's Concubine Qing and the Fifth Prince who are here." Jia Peng apologized, she didn't expect Concubine Qing to be so courageous and dare to make noise outside.
"Let her come in." Thinking of the fifth prince, the emperor swallowed the scolding words.
"Your Majesty, empress, the concubine is here to plead guilty. My sister-in-law is ignorant and offended the Jia family. I have already scolded her severely and punished her not to enter the palace for a month. Empress, look at me, no, no, just For the sake of our Fifth Prince, please forgive her."
"What is Concubine Qing talking about? What does it mean to offend the Jia family?" The emperor looked at Jia Peng with a questioning expression on his face.
Concubine Qing screamed inwardly. She thought that the queen would definitely sue the emperor, so she had to bring this matter back in front of the emperor. Otherwise, who would know what would happen if she smeared her.But looking at the meaning, the emperor didn't know at all, did she not have time to complain?
"Your Majesty, it's actually a trivial matter." Jia Peng said with a smile what happened in the morning.
"Although she is my sister-in-law, she is indeed a commoner's wife. Of course she should be greeted by a lady of high class. As for Concubine Qing's natal sister-in-law who didn't get off the sedan chair, it doesn't matter. I don't mind, but you Mind, you, you just think too much."
Concubine Qing's silver teeth were almost crushed by herself. This woman is indeed treacherous.She didn't mention the matter of getting off the sedan chair at all, but only mentioned the matter of seeing the ceremony, but this sentence was incidentally passed on by her, which is also a fact, and there is no way to refute it.
"But this concubine is feeling uneasy physically and mentally, it's really..." Concubine Qing was rolling her eyes and thinking about countermeasures, and the emperor was already impatient.
"Okay, let's end this matter, don't let it go on forever. In the future, when the empress's natal family comes, they will all sit in sedan chairs."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, the fifth prince has been telling his concubine that he misses his father very much." Concubine Qing had no choice but to push the prince behind her forward.
"Royal father." The fifth prince stood up, and indeed the emperor's face eased a bit, and after asking a few homework questions, he still dismissed their mother and son.
"Peng'er, I have wronged you." The emperor embraced Jia Peng gently, and Jia Peng leaned in the emperor's arms like a bird.
"No, my concubine is not wronged, being able to be with the emperor, serving you, and giving birth to the seventh prince for you is the greatest blessing of my concubine." Jia Peng gently caressed the emperor's face with his fingertips. His mouth was gently rubbed, full of infinite tenderness and sweetness.
"I already know that my son is the most sensible. How about this, isn't your second brother very good at handling common affairs? I asked him to help the Ministry of Internal Affairs to run errands."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Jia Peng wanted to stand, but was held down by the emperor.
"Only you understand my heart best. You must have been wronged in the palace because of your natal family, but you never complained to me. Look at those people, who do you think I am? Big things, and you still bother me with trivial things all day long."
Jia Peng looked at the emperor's eyes, like a young girl admiring her lover, holding the emperor's face with both hands, "Your Majesty is relieved, and my concubine is really distressed."
The emperor enjoyed his time in Fengzao Palace very much, but there were a lot of political affairs, so he had to go to the front hall to review memorials and discuss political affairs.
The expression on Jia Peng's face turned cold. She felt a little sick and wanted to vomit. Day after day, she spoke affectionately to a swollen old man, which made her feel nauseous.The emperor liked this trick the most. The Li concubine whom she was loyal to at the beginning used this trick to win the emperor's heart.
If you want the emperor to believe that her love is true, you can't talk too much to benefit your natal family.However, running errands for the Ministry of Internal Affairs still disappointed her. She thought that Jia Lian would always get a half-job, enter an official career, and fight for ten years, and the Seventh Prince would just come of age.
Jia Peng was upset for a while, but it was Auntie Duan who came in and told her with a smile, "Concubine Qing scolded the fifth prince as soon as she returned to the palace, saying that he can't speak and won't please the emperor, and that's why she fell out of favor."
"Bah, there are no rules. Why are you a lady? You are worse than a little mother. You can say such things to the prince, and you will be ashamed to death."
A concubine without a favor, who brought up a good prince to obey her orders, doesn't have half the majesty of a prince.The key is that without knowing it at all, Jia Peng didn't pay attention to her at all when she was always trying to keep an eye on the newly promoted queen.
Taking advantage of these people to jump up and down will make the emperor feel guilty and let Jia's family share some benefits.However, what she didn't expect was that the emperor actually asked Jia Lian to work with a group of eunuchs, or to run errands, what is this?
Jia Lian knew the news but didn't mind at all, instead he jumped up happily.
"My sister is a woman after all, and his brother is not from the imperial examination. He is an official. What is the real function for me? What's the use of giving a false title? It's better to let me do some practical things. If I do well, I will always let the emperor Seeing that our Jia family has changed sincerely."
"Your Majesty asked me to tell you again and again, just because she was afraid that you would be unhappy. I said that you would not be unhappy. If you can do things for the emperor, we must be happy if we are not satisfied." Ping'er also laughed.
"By the way, you told me last time, why is Qiaojie so reserved in front of the empress? Qiaojie's mouth is no worse than her mother's. How can she be reserved?"
"After all, it's a little girl. It's the first time she enters the palace. She will inevitably be nervous. Don't worry, give her a little time, and she will be fine." Ping'er didn't know what happened to Qiao Jie. It's not that she can't speak, but she doesn't look like a daughter of an aristocratic family, but she really looks like a country girl.
"Take her out more often." Jia Lian suggested.
"I thought so too. I'm going to take her out tomorrow." Hearing Brother An's cry, Ping'er hurried over and picked him up. Seeing this, Jia Lian changed into the clothes she was going out with.
"I still have entertainment, please persuade Miss Qiao to stop thinking about that country boy, the two families are not suitable."
"Sister Qiao..." Ping'er hugged Brother An, patted his back, and wanted to discuss the marriage between Sister Qiao and Ban'er with Jia Lian.
As a result, before the words finished, Jia Lian's back was getting further and further away, and she had to swallow the rest of her words.Pressing his face against Brother An's fleshy face, he said softly: "Brother An, what do you think mother should tell your sister."
And almost at the same time, Jia Zhuo touched the leaves of the hosta flower, and couldn't help but feel a little strange. Yoko never came to look for her, and neither did Baner.This is unreasonable, shouldn't the Wang family hurry up and make up the rules that should be made up for the engagement?
During the period of time when she returned to Jia's house, she had already entered the palace twice, and every time she entered the palace, she became more afraid of the empress.Jia Peng is very smart, so smart that it's scary.Unlike that Bai Xi, even if he was reborn once, because of his limited IQ, even if he knew what was going to happen, his life would still be a mess.
But this Jia Peng, from the eldest lady of the Duke's mansion to the palace slave, and then climbed step by step from the palace slave to the queen's seat, if anyone dares to underestimate her mind and the city, that is the most stupid.
Jia Zhuo didn't dare to underestimate her, and instinctively felt that Jia Peng was dangerous, and just wanted to stay away from her.Every time after entering the palace, Ping'er would come to talk to her, hoping to revive her blood relationship to Jia Peng, her real aunt.But the more this happened, the more worried Jia Zhuo would be, what exactly were they planning on him.
"I'm going out."
When Ping'er was worrying about how to talk to Jia Zhuo about this matter, Jia Zhuo came to her.She can't say the word "mother" now, and Ping'er has never forced her.
"Now, it's so late."
"Not now. I'm going to find Wu Yan tomorrow morning. I have an appointment with her. I have some things to do."
"What's the matter? Is there something missing at home? My child, tell me I'll take care of it for you." Ping'er hugged Brother An with one hand, and pressed her to sit down with the other. Let's talk, don't be so guarded against me, your father and I will never harm you."
Jia Zhuo sat down, "I don't need anything, I just agreed to start a small business together with Wu Yan, I can't leave the work to her alone."
"Business?" Ping'er really didn't know about Doro, but Li Wan did, but she was so focused on her son that she didn't remember to talk about it.
After listening to her, Ping'er realized that the popular Doro was actually planted by her.
"There is no reason for a girl's family to do business. Why don't you discuss it after your father comes back..."
Before Ping’er could finish his sentence, Jia Zhuo interrupted, “I’m not here to discuss with you, I’m just here to tell you that I’m going out tomorrow. If you can’t prepare a car, I’ll call one myself. As for business As long as you know about it, it’s my own business and has nothing to do with you.”
"But it's against the rules." Ping'er fell on her back angrily. She only knew that Qiaojie was different from before. She was a bit stubborn and stubborn, but she didn't expect that she would be so deviant.
"Is it legal for Wang Ren and Jia Rong to sell the daughters of the Jia family, including me, to Prince Zhongshun? Is it legal for the Wang family to save me and adopt me? There have been so many out-of-the-rule things, and I'm not one of them."
Ping'er hugged An Ge, his hands were already shaking, he didn't know whether it was from anger or fright, Jia Zhuo was more inclined to the latter.
"It's different now, sister Qiao, your identity is different now." Ping'er was still trying to convince her.
"You are the eldest lady of our Jia family, you will get the best, we will make your life the best in the future, only the best is worthy of you."
"Then..." Jia Zhuo thought, the problem came, and she looked directly at Ping'er, "Tell me what is the best."
"Of course, of course..." Ping'er suddenly felt annoyed that his thoughts were being seen through.
"It's rich clothes and fine food, and it's a noble family. Anyway, it can't be Ban'er, let alone the Wang family, right?"
"Sister Qiao, I know you are grateful to the Wang family, and we are also grateful to them. We will repay them and let them live a good life. You are young and don't understand. In the future, you will only be grateful for the choices your father made. "Ping'er spoke quickly, put down Brother An, and grabbed Jia Zhuo's hand.
"You have to trust us, how can we harm you, everything we do is for your own good."
"Yeah, it's all for my own good, but you don't even ask me if I think it's good or not. If I say no, are you going to tie my hands and gag me, put me on a sedan chair, and stuff me in a high school?" A big family can exchange for your glory and wealth."
Jia Zhuo easily broke free from Ping'er's hand, and remained calm all the time, without any fluctuation in his tone.
Ping'er was horrified, she covered her mouth, and looked at Jia Zhuo in disbelief, "How could you think like this, how could you think like this, we will never trade you for benefits, no one is better than me, no one is better than me I, I hope you can get happiness. Who is it, who is bewitching you so much, is it the Wang family, or Xiaohong and Fangling. "
"Fang Ling?" Jia Zhuo frowned, and then thought that this might be the name changed by the Ling official later.
Ping'er looked at her, and the more he spoke, the more excited he became, "Did they tell you that, that I would harm you? What are they? They have only been with Second Mistress for a few days, can they compare with me? I am loyal to Second Mistress Geng Geng, there is a lesson to be learned from heaven and earth. Sister Qiao, don't trust them..."
"Brother An is crying." Jia Zhuo stepped forward, took the initiative to hug Brother An, and stuffed him into Ping'er's arms, "In your eyes, I have always been the child who was only ten years old when I left you, but I have already I'm 16 years old. I know how to distinguish, and I know what I want."
Jia Zhuo walked out, and when he reached the door, he paused, "I think, you should think about it, even if Jia's house has not been wiped out, is my mother really happy?"
I traveled to this time and space not to sacrifice myself to the death for a husband who didn't love me like Wang Xifeng.Not to mention living with a completely emotionless person for the sake of a luxurious life and status.
"It doesn't need to be so troublesome. After adding flowers and trees, do I need to add a gardener to take care of them? Besides, Brother An is still young, and there are mosquitoes in summer and pollen in spring. If there is something wrong, I feel so distressed." Jia Zhuo shook his head. Planting two pots of flowers is just for fun, not worth the hype.
"It's still Qiaojie who loves people." Ping'er smiled, and changed the subject, "The Empress sent someone over and gave you a lot of things. I will take you to the palace to see you in five days."
Mother Zhang and Fu'er brought in two boxes, and there was a box of fabrics. Jia Zhuo took a look and found Doro. The duoluo blanket on the bed, you like to bite things when you sleep, and you chewed up a corner of the blanket. The second grandma was afraid that you would eat it, so she specially changed it to Yunsi's quilt, no matter how much you bite, you won't be afraid."
Jia Zhuo has no memory of what happened when he was a child, but he understands Ping'er's feelings very well. The things he used to before are just ordinary.Suddenly one day, I fell from the clouds into the mud, only to realize that the difference is so big.
"The beaded flowers made by this pair of pink gemstones are very suitable, just matching the flower crown your father prepared for you." Ping'er pointed to a box of jewelry again, which was a set of colorful gemstones. Some of them she didn't need now, Ping'er So my son helped her choose two pearl flowers.
In addition to these, there was a tea set, a set of saucers, and some knickknacks for little girls.It can be seen that these things are carefully prepared, and it is obvious that the empress is very concerned about her niece.
Ping'er also felt it, and said with a smile: "After all, it's my aunt and nephew. You have to thank your mother well after you enter the palace."
"I will." Jia Zhuo was not as happy as Ping'er. Ping'er only thought she was nervous and hurried to comfort her.
"Don't be afraid when you hear about learning the rules. Our sister Qiao is so smart, she will definitely learn it quickly."
A few days later, Jia Zhuo just wanted to ask sadly and angrily, who said she could learn it as soon as she learned it.She never knew that walking, eating, drinking tea, and even speaking had so many rules to follow.
After finally surviving until the day of entering the palace, everything was packed, and the palace had already sent a carriage to pick them up.
"Our mother was looking forward to it early in the morning. So this is the eldest lady, and she is somewhat similar to our mother." The girls in the palace greeted them with smiling faces.
"I'm bothering Aunt Duan again." Ping'er took Jia Zhuo's hand into the car.
Jia Zhuo didn't know what the imperial palace looked like. He only knew that the car stopped at the entrance of the palace, and two small sedan chairs arrived.
"Now I can only work hard for Madam, our mother said, it will be fine." Aunt Duan said to Ping'er on the road.
"Women don't work hard, they've overcome all the hardships, and it's good now." Ping'er's face was calm, without any sign of reluctance.
Jia Zhuo followed her and saw a small sedan next to her passing by. He obviously passed a few steps and stopped again. Someone lifted the curtain of the sedan, and a lady in the sedan was sitting in it.
"Is it Mrs. Jia?" The person in the sedan chair did not get down, but sat and asked.
Ping'er stepped forward and bowed slightly, "Greetings to Madam, the civilian woman just entered the palace to greet the Empress Empress, I never expected to meet Madam, but I greet you first."
The lady in the sedan chair was stunned for a moment, her expression changed suddenly, and she said with a sneer, "Isn't this a coincidence? I won't delay you, let's talk better next time."
Jia Zhuo saw people sitting in sedan chairs and they were walking, and only then did he understand what Aunt Duan meant.There are many rules in the palace, what kind of status can sit in the sedan chair, and where to sit, are all particular.They are civilians, so the last section of the road has to be walked in.
No one dared to talk too much about the fact that Jia Peng did not give any reward to the Jia family after being sealed.After all, the Jia family was copied by the emperor alone, and it has been sealed back in just a few years, wouldn't it be a laughing stock.The Jia family understood, so what they expected was never the emperor, but the seventh prince.
As long as there is the Seventh Prince, the Jia family has a future, time is nothing, they can afford to wait.
In Fengzao Palace where the queen lived, Jia Peng finally saw the child who was rescued by Grandma Liu and could only return home now.
"Poor man, I didn't expect that our aunt and nephew would meet again. When I was young, I often hugged you. Do you remember?"
Jia Zhuo was embraced by the queen, and he didn't know how to let go of his embarrassing hands and feet.
"Sister Qiao had a serious illness that day, and she forgot many things from the past." It was Ping'er who stepped forward to relieve the siege.
"Forget it, forget it, we just need to remember the future, everything must be good."
"Your Majesty said that it is a good thing, and it must be a good thing." Ping'er answered the words again.
The Empress released Jia Zhuo and gave them a seat to sit beside her and talk.
Jia Zhuo only answered when asked, otherwise he would not speak easily.Seeing the worried eyes of the empress, Ping'er bit the bullet and said: "Sister Qiao just came back, and she hasn't learned all the rules yet, so it's inevitable that she feels a little uncomfortable."
"My place is different from your own home. Would I still choose your gift?" Jia Peng sighed and stroked Jia Zhuo's hair.
"I like this child at first glance, but it's too quiet. It's better for children to be lively." Jia Peng glanced at Ping'er, with disappointment in his eyes.
Ping'er's expression became tense, and she quickly stood up and said, "What the empress said is that I didn't take good care of Miss Qiao."
"I don't blame you, didn't you just come back?" The implication is that it will be like this in the future, so it's your fault.
"Thank you, Ma'am, for your compassion." Ping'er almost broke out in a cold sweat. Although this aunt of the Jia family was in Jia's house, she had been with her for many years.But with the change of identity, she became more and more confusing.
As soon as Ping'er took Jia Zhuo away, Aunt Duan told the Queen about the section on the road.Jia Peng didn't even raise his eyebrows, "It's all a trivial matter. When congratulating, she still wants to kowtow to Ben Gong."
"Oh, I feel sorry for my lady. It's your sister-in-law after all. It's a disadvantage if I don't have a status." Aunt Duan was annoyed, and she was planning to give some color to this concubine Qing's palace next time she saw her. .
"Concubine Qing is an old man in the palace, and she has raised the fifth prince. Her natal family has a high rank, and my sister-in-law is just a civilian woman. It is only natural for her to see her."
"What are you talking about? How did I hear Concubine Qing's name? What's wrong with her?" No one informed, the emperor just walked in.
"Why is Your Majesty here now? Have you eaten yet?" Jia Peng hurriedly greeted the Emperor.

"I'm a little tired."
"Madam, Concubine Qing has brought the Fifth Prince over here." Aunt Duan said in the softest voice almost tiptoeing.
Jia Peng glanced at the sleeping emperor, shook his head and said: "Let her go first, the emperor has too little rest these days, it's rare to sleep so deeply."
"Yes." Aunt Duan withdrew.
After a while, Aunt Duan walked in again with a helpless expression.
"Concubine Qing said that her natal family violated your sister-in-law, and she came here specially to make amends."
"What's the crime?" Jia Peng stood up, "Take her to the side hall, don't disturb the emperor."
"What's the matter?" The emperor was sleeping just right, but was disturbed by the noise from outside the hall, and opened his eyes in displeasure.
"It's Concubine Qing and the Fifth Prince who are here." Jia Peng apologized, she didn't expect Concubine Qing to be so courageous and dare to make noise outside.
"Let her come in." Thinking of the fifth prince, the emperor swallowed the scolding words.
"Your Majesty, empress, the concubine is here to plead guilty. My sister-in-law is ignorant and offended the Jia family. I have already scolded her severely and punished her not to enter the palace for a month. Empress, look at me, no, no, just For the sake of our Fifth Prince, please forgive her."
"What is Concubine Qing talking about? What does it mean to offend the Jia family?" The emperor looked at Jia Peng with a questioning expression on his face.
Concubine Qing screamed inwardly. She thought that the queen would definitely sue the emperor, so she had to bring this matter back in front of the emperor.

"Your Majesty, it's actually a trivial matter." Jia Peng said with a smile what happened in the morning.
"Although she is my sister-in-law, she is indeed a commoner's wife. Of course she should be greeted by a lady of high class. As for Concubine Qing's natal sister-in-law who didn't get off the sedan chair, it doesn't matter. I don't mind, but you Mind, you, you just think too much."
Concubine Qing's silver teeth were almost crushed by herself. This woman is indeed treacherous.She didn't mention the matter of getting off the sedan chair at all, but only mentioned the matter of seeing the ceremony, but this sentence was incidentally passed on by her, which is also a fact, and there is no way to refute it.
"But this concubine is feeling uneasy physically and mentally, it's really..." Concubine Qing was rolling her eyes and thinking about countermeasures, and the emperor was already impatient.
"Okay, let's end this matter, don't let it go on forever. In the future, when the empress's natal family comes, they will all sit in sedan chairs."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, the fifth prince has been telling his concubine that he misses his father very much." Concubine Qing had no choice but to push the prince behind her forward.
"Royal father." The fifth prince stood up, and indeed the emperor's face eased a bit, and after asking a few homework questions, he still dismissed their mother and son.
"Peng'er, I have wronged you." The emperor embraced Jia Peng gently, and Jia Peng leaned in the emperor's arms like a bird.
"No, my concubine is not wronged, being able to be with the emperor, serving you, and giving birth to the seventh prince for you is the greatest blessing of my concubine." Jia Peng gently caressed the emperor's face with his fingertips. His mouth was gently rubbed, full of infinite tenderness and sweetness.
"I already know that my son is the most sensible. How about this, isn't your second brother very good at handling common affairs? I asked him to help the Ministry of Internal Affairs to run errands."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Jia Peng wanted to stand, but was held down by the emperor.
"Only you understand my heart best. You must have been wronged in the palace because of your natal family, but you never complained to me. Look at those people, who do you think I am? Big things, and you still bother me with trivial things all day long."
Jia Peng looked at the emperor's eyes, like a young girl admiring her lover, holding the emperor's face with both hands, "Your Majesty is relieved, and my concubine is really distressed."
The emperor enjoyed his time in Fengzao Palace very much, but there were a lot of political affairs, so he had to go to the front hall to review memorials and discuss political affairs.
The expression on Jia Peng's face turned cold. She felt a little sick and wanted to vomit. Day after day, she spoke affectionately to a swollen old man, which made her feel nauseous.The emperor liked this trick the most. The Li concubine whom she was loyal to at the beginning used this trick to win the emperor's heart.
If you want the emperor to believe that her love is true, you can't talk too much to benefit your natal family.However, running errands for the Ministry of Internal Affairs still disappointed her. She thought that Jia Lian would always get a half-job, enter an official career, and fight for ten years, and the Seventh Prince would just come of age.
Jia Peng was upset for a while, but it was Auntie Duan who came in and told her with a smile, "Concubine Qing scolded the fifth prince as soon as she returned to the palace, saying that he can't speak and won't please the emperor, and that's why she fell out of favor."
"Bah, there are no rules. Why are you a lady? You are worse than a little mother. You can say such things to the prince, and you will be ashamed to death."
A concubine without a favor, who brought up a good prince to obey her orders, doesn't have half the majesty of a prince.The key is that without knowing it at all, Jia Peng didn't pay attention to her at all when she was always trying to keep an eye on the newly promoted queen.
Taking advantage of these people to jump up and down will make the emperor feel guilty and let Jia's family share some benefits.However, what she didn't expect was that the emperor actually asked Jia Lian to work with a group of eunuchs, or to run errands, what is this?
Jia Lian knew the news but didn't mind at all, instead he jumped up happily.
"My sister is a woman after all, and his brother is not from the imperial examination. He is an official. What is the real function for me? What's the use of giving a false title? It's better to let me do some practical things. If I do well, I will always let the emperor Seeing that our Jia family has changed sincerely."
"Your Majesty asked me to tell you again and again, just because she was afraid that you would be unhappy. I said that you would not be unhappy. If you can do things for the emperor, we must be happy if we are not satisfied." Ping'er also laughed.
"By the way, you told me last time, why is Qiaojie so reserved in front of the empress? Qiaojie's mouth is no worse than her mother's. How can she be reserved?"
"After all, it's a little girl. It's the first time she enters the palace. She will inevitably be nervous. Don't worry, give her a little time, and she will be fine." Ping'er didn't know what happened to Qiao Jie. It's not that she can't speak, but she doesn't look like a daughter of an aristocratic family, but she really looks like a country girl.
"Take her out more often." Jia Lian suggested.
"I thought so too. I'm going to take her out tomorrow." Hearing Brother An's cry, Ping'er hurried over and picked him up. Seeing this, Jia Lian changed into the clothes she was going out with.
"I still have entertainment, please persuade Miss Qiao to stop thinking about that country boy, the two families are not suitable."
"Sister Qiao..." Ping'er hugged Brother An, patted his back, and wanted to discuss the marriage between Sister Qiao and Ban'er with Jia Lian.
As a result, before the words finished, Jia Lian's back was getting further and further away, and she had to swallow the rest of her words.Pressing his face against Brother An's fleshy face, he said softly: "Brother An, what do you think mother should tell your sister."
And almost at the same time, Jia Zhuo touched the leaves of the hosta flower, and couldn't help but feel a little strange. Yoko never came to look for her, and neither did Baner.This is unreasonable, shouldn't the Wang family hurry up and make up the rules that should be made up for the engagement?
During the period of time when she returned to Jia's house, she had already entered the palace twice, and every time she entered the palace, she became more afraid of the empress.Jia Peng is very smart, so smart that it's scary.Unlike that Bai Xi, even if he was reborn once, because of his limited IQ, even if he knew what was going to happen, his life would still be a mess.
But this Jia Peng, from the eldest lady of the Duke's mansion to the palace slave, and then climbed step by step from the palace slave to the queen's seat, if anyone dares to underestimate her mind and the city, that is the most stupid.
Jia Zhuo didn't dare to underestimate her, and instinctively felt that Jia Peng was dangerous, and just wanted to stay away from her.Every time after entering the palace, Ping'er would come to talk to her, hoping to revive her blood relationship to Jia Peng, her real aunt.But the more this happened, the more worried Jia Zhuo would be, what exactly were they planning on him.
"I'm going out."
When Ping'er was worrying about how to talk to Jia Zhuo about this matter, Jia Zhuo came to her.She can't say the word "mother" now, and Ping'er has never forced her.
"Now, it's so late."
"Not now. I'm going to find Wu Yan tomorrow morning. I have an appointment with her. I have some things to do."
"What's the matter? Is there something missing at home? My child, tell me I'll take care of it for you." Ping'er hugged Brother An with one hand, and pressed her to sit down with the other. Let's talk, don't be so guarded against me, your father and I will never harm you."
Jia Zhuo sat down, "I don't need anything, I just agreed to start a small business together with Wu Yan, I can't leave the work to her alone."
"Business?" Ping'er really didn't know about Doro, but Li Wan did, but she was so focused on her son that she didn't remember to talk about it.
After listening to her, Ping'er realized that the popular Doro was actually planted by her.
"There is no reason for a girl's family to do business. Why don't you discuss it after your father comes back..."
Before Ping’er could finish his sentence, Jia Zhuo interrupted, “I’m not here to discuss with you, I’m just here to tell you that I’m going out tomorrow. If you can’t prepare a car, I’ll call one myself. As for business As long as you know about it, it’s my own business and has nothing to do with you.”
"But it's against the rules." Ping'er fell on her back angrily. She only knew that Qiaojie was different from before. She was a bit stubborn and stubborn, but she didn't expect that she would be so deviant.
"Is it legal for Wang Ren and Jia Rong to sell the daughters of the Jia family, including me, to Prince Zhongshun? Is it legal for the Wang family to save me and adopt me? There have been so many out-of-the-rule things, and I'm not one of them."
Ping'er hugged An Ge, his hands were already shaking, he didn't know whether it was from anger or fright, Jia Zhuo was more inclined to the latter.
"It's different now, sister Qiao, your identity is different now." Ping'er was still trying to convince her.
"You are the eldest lady of our Jia family, you will get the best, we will make your life the best in the future, only the best is worthy of you."
"Then..." Jia Zhuo thought, the problem came, and she looked directly at Ping'er, "Tell me what is the best."
"Of course, of course..." Ping'er suddenly felt annoyed that his thoughts were being seen through.
"It's rich clothes and fine food, and it's a noble family. Anyway, it can't be Ban'er, let alone the Wang family, right?"
"Sister Qiao, I know you are grateful to the Wang family, and we are also grateful to them. We will repay them and let them live a good life. You are young and don't understand. In the future, you will only be grateful for the choices your father made. "Ping'er spoke quickly, put down Brother An, and grabbed Jia Zhuo's hand.
"You have to trust us, how can we harm you, everything we do is for your own good."
"Yeah, it's all for my own good, but you don't even ask me if I think it's good or not. If I say no, are you going to tie my hands and gag me, put me on a sedan chair, and stuff me in a high school?" A big family can exchange for your glory and wealth."
Jia Zhuo easily broke free from Ping'er's hand, and remained calm all the time, without any fluctuation in his tone.
Ping'er was horrified, she covered her mouth, and looked at Jia Zhuo in disbelief, "How could you think like this, how could you think like this, we will never trade you for benefits, no one is better than me, no one is better than me I, I hope you can get happiness. Who is it, who is bewitching you so much, is it the Wang family, or Xiaohong and Fangling. "
"Fang Ling?" Jia Zhuo frowned, and then thought that this might be the name changed by the Ling official later.
Ping'er looked at her, and the more he spoke, the more excited he became, "Did they tell you that, that I would harm you? What are they? They have only been with Second Mistress for a few days, can they compare with me? I am loyal to Second Mistress Geng Geng, there is a lesson to be learned from heaven and earth. Sister Qiao, don't trust them..."
"Brother An is crying." Jia Zhuo stepped forward, took the initiative to hug Brother An, and stuffed him into Ping'er's arms, "In your eyes, I have always been the child who was only ten years old when I left you, but I have already I'm 16 years old. I know how to distinguish, and I know what I want."
Jia Zhuo walked out, and when he reached the door, he paused, "I think, you should think about it, even if Jia's house has not been wiped out, is my mother really happy?"
I traveled to this time and space not to sacrifice myself to the death for a husband who didn't love me like Wang Xifeng.Not to mention living with a completely emotionless person for the sake of a luxurious life and status.
