Old things in the Red Chamber

When a prince has the idea of ​​replacing him.Then he has become a traitor in his bones.This is the understanding of orthodox literati, but for ambitious people.This kind of thinking is nothing more than normal.

It didn't take too long for the father and son to meet each other. At this time, the emperor still had many things to deal with. The ninth prince had to take his younger brother to visit his younger siblings who were living in the Queen's Palace.Where are the real children in the royal family, especially children who have lost their mothers and have no support, they always grow up at the fastest speed, and it doesn't matter whether they will grow crooked or not.

When the Ninth Prince saw his younger sister, the little girl lost her savage habit and became gentle.In the palace, the life of the princess is not as good as that of the princes. She sees the cruelty of life more clearly than her brothers.This is caused by the general environment. Whether it is a master or a slave, they all know that no matter how good the princesses are, they will still be a princess mansion in the future, just a few dowries.It is these princes who can really get a little bit of power from the royal family.

Only Princess Ruhe understands the difference between the birth mother's presence and absence.This kind of pain has already been experienced, so I naturally want to change it.

The Ninth Prince touched his sister's Baotou first, and then took a closer look at her face. The baby fat on her face was gone. It must be that life is not going well.

Licorice followed the nineteenth prince, and seeing the ninth and eleventh princes at this moment felt mixed feelings.

She is a slave, not even qualified to comfort her master, so she had to pass the nineteenth prince over to show their brother.

The nineteenth prince has changed a lot, he looks a lot stronger, among other things, that little red face looks much better than when he was just born.

"Thanks to the Empress, the Nineteenth Master doesn't like to cry recently, and he eats too much. When he hugged him vertically, his two feet trampled on the person's leg so painfully."

It can only be thanks to the empress, even if she just remembered to ask, she must be the one who takes care of the nineteenth prince the most.Even Licorice wanted to lead the nineteenth prince to get close to the empress, not daring to mention his dead mother, so that his life would be better.

The reality is so cruel. For children with memory, they know what their mother is like, but for children without memory, they don't need to know mother at all, let alone understand mother.

Take the emperor as an example, his biological mother is just a picture, he takes a look at it every year during worship, and he doesn't know anything about the biological mother.Up to now, he has not taken the initiative to ask about his mother's past, because the queen mother is still alive, and the fact that his aunt and adoptive mother are not allowed to ask his biological mother who is of low status.And he has also passed the age of being curious about his biological mother, even if he has the opportunity now, he will not take the initiative to verify the past of his biological mother.

When a person dies, he is really dead. It is said that he lives in the hearts of his children, but this is not the case.

The Ninth Prince's tears fell on the Nineteenth Prince's swaddle. For the first time, he knew the concept of elder brother being like a father. He was so heavy that he could barely breathe.

He handed the swaddle to the eleventh prince and motioned him to hug his younger brother.The eleventh prince didn't know that his younger brother was different from the two of them. In the future, his older brother could pull him to discuss rebellion, but he wouldn't say a word to his younger brother.Because, except for the very close blood, they hardly have much affection, and this is the last way to preserve the mother's blood.

It is better for two people to rebel than three people to be put to death.

"I don't know if the queen mother will be busy now? Let's pay her respects."

The maid went away for a while, and brought back the meaning of the nuns around the queen. "The empress is in the empress dowager's palace, and she can't return it for a while, so please take care of yourself."

"Back when Dai'er was not married, she told me that the records in the history books would be taboo for the venerable. Do you think that in the future, the history books will also mention all the moths that happened in the palace in the past few days?"

Mrs. Tong came back from the palace at night, angrily removed several catties of jewelry from her head, and couldn't help discussing this matter with Jia Gu.

She was called by the Supreme Emperor to pay homage to the new Empress Dowager in the palace in the morning, and she was not the only one who was unlucky, almost all the imperial servants with names and surnames went there.

Jia Gu thought to himself that someone would have to vent this anger on the emperor tomorrow. The old way can't hit you, but you can still be disgusting.Anyway, many people now say that the royal family has no rules.Presumably the emperor is not worried about having too many lice.

"You said that the emperor is too old to make troubles. I feel uncomfortable when I see my niece with a big belly. You said that it's a lot of suffering. She is about to give birth. It doesn't count to toss the wife who is married, but also toss the married woman. I heard that the empress was going to bring the concubines and princesses to worship, and the eunuch who delivered the decree was directly beaten to death by the empress in the name of a false edict. I can see Princess Ruhe, I don’t know how she survived these days.”

After speaking, he looked at Jia Gu, who was in a daze, and suddenly became angry, "Did you hear what I said?"

"I reckon that the emperor is about to go on tour."

Where does the emperor go has nothing to do with Madam Tong, what she cares about is the children left by the imperial concubine.But Jia Gu's focus is different from hers. "It's better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of volumes. It's not an option for the Ninth Prince to be in the palace every day. You have to see people's livelihood. I have to think about this matter carefully. You first Go to sleep, and I'll go talk to some gentlemen."

No matter how much dissatisfaction Madam Tong has, she can't say it out.This is a major matter for the men outside, so I had to call the maids in and order the kitchen to tidy up a table of good dishes and send them to the front, so that these people must be full.

Pilgrimage is not a matter of a day or two, there is no other way, Mrs. Tong has no choice but to put on a dress and wear dead jewelry to enter the palace to suffer.More than half of the people came here today, it seems that some wives of important ministers have asked for leave, even Lin Daiyu has asked for leave, the reason is that the due date is approaching and she is afraid of offending the nobleman.

There were not many people, and Mrs. Tong was not far from Shi Taijun. There was a new daughter-in-law next to Shi Taijun, wearing bright red clothes, standing there generously, with a very good demeanor.When they got home, they waited outside the store. After a while, a eunuch came out to deliver an order and ordered everyone to wait in the side hall.

Someone asked Shi Taijun, "Is this your new granddaughter-in-law?"

Xue Baochai came out to salute, and Madam Tong, who disliked Rongguo Mansion, couldn't fault Xue Baochai.

Someone asked, "Isn't the person who accompanied the old lady into the palace in the past the daughter-in-law of your mansion? Why is it changed to the younger daughter-in-law today?"

This is definitely a joker, and he doesn't mean well when he asks questions.Many people think that since the imperial concubine disappeared, the eldest family of the Jia family has almost disappeared.There are many people who are curious about such a wealthy family.

"Unfortunately, the elder of our family has been ill recently, but the brother in the family is also ill. The second sister-in-law and his wife are serving the elderly and taking care of the children in the mansion."

Xue Baochai spoke clearly, spoke very candidly, and her expression couldn't be more normal. The person who asked the question blushed herself. It was because her tone and expression were too gloating when she asked.

For a while, the side hall became quiet.Mrs. Tong made up her mind to ask for leave tomorrow. This is simply suffering. An old man like Shi Taijun can bring a maid to serve him. Although he brought his granddaughter-in-law in, most elderly people do this .But Mrs. Tong was too old to enjoy this privilege, and she was very depressed.

After a while, looking out from the side hall, the guard of honor of the Empress meandered in front of her eyes.Seven or eight maids helped her into the hall.No one dared to speak, especially when the queen empress looked menacing.

Not long after, everyone was kicked out and told that they could go home directly. At this time, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that there was already a commotion in the palace, and countless foreign wives were praying in their hearts for the empress to win.Who wants to kneel down and kowtow to a foxy girl, among other things, everyone is married by a bright matchmaker, the one in the palace was not even considered a side room at first, why should so many people kneel down to worship? Is she out of order?

When they left the palace gate, it was the stall where Jia Gu came home from the Yamen, and the two of them were sitting together in the carriage, and Mrs. Tong couldn't help but talk about this matter again.

"What do you think is so good about Beauty Dou? She looks average. Why is the old man so particular?"

Jia Gu hummed, it doesn't matter how the Supreme Emperor is to these people, what matters is how much the old man is making a fuss at home, and whether he will force the emperor to hide.After all, it is not a good thing for father and son to face each other.Now the emperor is represented by the queen empress.Dou Meiren represents the Supreme Emperor. The defeat of the Supreme Emperor is a matter of time. The question is whether it will be sooner or later?

"No, I still have to visit my in-laws. How can I comfort you about this?"

"What are you going to do? The matter of the parents, you can forget it, it's not a good thing in the first place, when you go to comfort, it's better not to comfort, the mother-in-law is also very old, and people have to face."

"You're right, but we can't just watch. Otherwise, I'll take Si'er over, and we won't talk about the affairs of the palace. We just say that the child misses his grandmother, and I'll stay there and talk for a long time. That’s good, it’s our wish.”

Jia Gu nodded, acquiescing to the matter.

The carriage wobbled to the door, Jia Gu got off immediately and went to the front yard. When he entered the lobby, he didn't forget to ask the housekeeper to check on Jia She.

Madam Tong wanted to go back and tidy up, handed over the post today, and went to see her tomorrow, but she saw a carriage hurriedly approaching the door, and the butler of the Gu family jumped out of the carriage.He ran to the door and said to the concierge, "Our grandma is about to give birth. I will invite my wife to take a look."
