The eldest son of the concubine who crossed the red mansion

For Jia Baoyu's daughter's full moon wine, people from Rongguo Mansion still handed over the post.Without even looking at it, Lin Yuxuan ordered people to put the post aside. If it wasn't for Shuyi's persuasion, he wouldn't even be willing to send it as a congratulatory gift.But Shuyi also kept an eye out for herself, and just ordered someone to make a silver longevity lock and a set of silver bracelets, and send them to Rongguo Mansion.

On the contrary, Jia Yuanchun in the palace gave a lot of rewards, after all, it is the imperial concubine's role now, eight handles of white jade carved with Ruyi and auspicious patterns, two pairs of amber longevity locks, two pairs of ivory carvings, and all kinds of odds and ends. The gadgets are very dazzling; Jia Tanchun is more low-key, and only rewards two pairs of longevity locks and snuff bottles.

"Concubine Xiande is really generous. She really thinks that the House of Internal Affairs is her family's request. The gift to Qi Jia's family alone is equivalent to two months of her Fengzao Palace." Tu Qing Chu was in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, seeing that the things Fengzao Palace asked for were all more expensive than the others, and the money from the Ministry of Internal Affairs was spent like running water, and his temper also came up.He didn't have a good impression of this concubine Xiande, and now he is even more angry when he sees her request like this, "When the morning court tomorrow, this king must make a statement to the emperor. Just don't even think about taking it!"

"My lord, it's not worth being angry about her." Lin Yuxuan listened to Tu Qingchen's complaints, and tried to persuade him a few words, "Now that the concubine Xiande is still sick in bed, the emperor cares about the old relationship, so he probably won't bother with her too much. .”

"Old love? Where did the old love come from! It's just a concubine who doesn't even have a golden book and seal, I really think I am something." Tu Qingchen snorted, "Boy, what you said is meaningless. Don't tell me you don't know what the emperor's heart is thinking."

"Since the prince knows it, there is no need to say it." Lin Yuxuan handed him a cup of tea, "People in the Ministry of Rites talk a lot, if the prince's words spread to the ears of others, I'm afraid there will be trouble again."

Tu Qingchen frowned disdainfully, thought for a while, and took the tea bowl from Lin Yuxuan: "Anyway, I just can't see it, so what about the imperial concubine, but she is just a concubine. Look at the emperor's wife, when will They posted things from the palace to her natal family, which shows how special this Jia family's tutor is."

Lin Yuxuan pursed his lips slightly and smiled.

Tu Qingzhen really did what he said, and went straight to the Taizheng Hall to file a complaint the next day.After hearing this, Tu Qingze also frowned slightly. There is not much spring rain in the south of the Yangtze River this year, and it looks like it is going to be dry.He originally thought that the palace wanted to reduce the amount of money so that he could take the lead to show off to the officials, but he didn't want the people in Fengzao Palace to spend money so lavishly.

So Tu Qingze called Dai Quan, and asked Dai Quan to go to Fengzao Palace to remind Jia Yuanchun that she would not be able to get the moon silver for the next three months, and gave Tu Qingchen two jars of good wine, and then sent Tu Qingchen comforted him.If his thirteenth brother gets angry, no one can dissuade him.

When Jia Yuanchun heard Dai Quan's words, his face burned even more.She originally thought that since she was already a noble concubine, it would be fine to spend more money.But he didn't want Prince Gong to be so disrespectful and sue her so bluntly in front of the emperor, and she was at fault again, so he could only hold back his anger for the time being.

"Mistress, there is a reason for the emperor to be angry. There is less rain in the south of the Yangtze River, and it seems that there is probably a drought. Yan Faluo." Dai Quan took the purse handed over by Yun Yan, weighed the money in it, and then said half-truthfully, "One more word, my servant, please remember that the House of Internal Affairs is now under the control of Prince Gong. Empress, don't forget that the golden book and seal of your imperial concubine have not been cast yet. If Prince Gong is not happy, the empress may lose her title as an imperial concubine."

Jia Yuanchun gritted his teeth and nodded to thank Dai Quan for his reminder.

"The slave will resign." Dai Quan stroked the purse he got today, which is probably the biggest reward from Fengzao Palace in the past few months, and he will have to tighten his belt in a short time.

"Your Majesty, it's time for you to take a nap, go to bed and rest first." Yun Yan patted the pillow loose for her, "Your Majesty, don't worry about today's affairs. Your Majesty's mother's home is the Duke's mansion, and someone will send a message to give some money. Just come in with the ticket. Now the empress is in much better health, and when she regains the emperor's favor in the future, then nothing will happen."

Jia Yuanchun finally listened to it, and lay down to rest with his eyes closed.

In fact, although looking at Jia Yuanchun's complexion has improved a lot, it's just that the deficiency in his body can't be repaired no matter what.Originally, her pregnancy was due to the effect of medicine, and she used a lot of harmful rouge powder during pregnancy, and she was born prematurely. Even though everyone said that she looked rosy, only Jia Yuanchun knew that her body was not the same as before. same.

"Yunxi, tell Baoqin to wait outside the palace, and let her come in after Bengong wakes up."

"Yes."

Today is a rare day when several princesses came to the palace to pay their respects. Shuyi took Wei'er, Shuqing Shuchen and Shuhui also took their children to Fengyi Palace.The originally peaceful Fengyi Palace instantly became a place for children to play and play. The princesses asked the wet nurses to look at their children before sitting down to talk to the queen.

"I looked at the mother's harem, it seems to be quite clean, but to save money for the drought in the south of the Yangtze River?" Shuyi, the eldest sister, spoke first.

"That's right, your father also said that although the money saved in the palace is not much, it's just a little thought from all the concubines in the palace." The queen said with a smile.In fact, even so, the things in Fengyi Palace are still the best in the whole harem. Firstly, it is because she is the empress, and secondly, because Tu Qingzhen has always respected her, the things that are promoted are simple but exquisite.

"I've heard a joke that the virtuous concubine of Fengzao Palace had paid in advance for the past few months, so now she can only rely on her mother's family to support her. Mother, please tell us, this is Isn't it true?" Shuchen asked with the most lively temper.

"Where did you hear such nonsense? If this word gets out, it will damage Concubine Xiande's reputation." The queen glanced at her, "Concubine Xiande voluntarily gave up these three months for the sake of the people in Jiangnan. Monthly money. Not only her, but also Huijia Changzai."

Shuyi smiled secretly, to put it bluntly, it is not that Concubine Xiande was fined, and Huijia Changzai was unfortunately implicated.However, Hui Jia Chang Zai is no longer loved by her father, so she probably can only swallow her anger.

"Ever since Concubine Xiande gave birth to her little sister, I have been hearing that she is still sick in bed, but I don't want to be so enthusiastic about the common people. It seems that our family has to respond to the father." Shuhui said with a smile, "The son-in-law also told me in the past few days that the supply of melons and fruits can be reduced recently, and the extra money can be saved and donated to the national treasury, which can be regarded as some kindness of our family."

"Sister Shuhui started so early, fortunately our house is not too late." Shuyi said.

"You are all interested." The queen asked someone to bring some small snacks, "These are bird's nest cakes with shredded coconut, you should try it."

"This snack tastes very refreshing, and it's less greasy than usual in the palace." Shuqing took a bite, "But the cook of the imperial dining room came up with something new?"

"It's the meal that Concubine Xiande was promoted to. I heard that it was brought by someone from my mother's family. She thought it was good after eating, so she sent it to me. It just so happens that you are all here today, so I might as well give it to you to try." The queen also thought it was good. , "It's a pity that this thing can't be eaten often. After all, a lot of bird's nests are used in it. These are all made in Concubine Xiande's kitchen. I heard that they are all made of bird's nest sent by my mother's house. It is very expensive."

"Father and emperor have said that the palace should be frugal, so how can Concubine Xiande go to such great lengths just to make such a dessert." Shuchen pursed her lips and said, "No wonder people outside are laughing, saying that Concubine Xiande She is not afraid of being fined for her salary, because she was given money by her natal family. Now the whole palace advocates frugality, but she is the only one who can make this dessert."

"Concubine Xiande is not in good health. Perhaps her mother's family is thinking about her and asking her to make up more. The queen mother should tell Concubine Xiande and eat by herself." Shuyi took a sip of tea, "Recently I A cook in the house also figured out a dish made with fresh mushrooms, wild mushrooms and shredded pork. If you are willing to eat it, the queen mother also knows that Wei'er is a carnivore."

"Such a good thing, we sisters will go to my sister's house as a guest tomorrow." Shuhui smiled softly.

"Okay." Shuyi said, "Why don't you call all the sons-in-law, and come to my house when all the son-in-laws are free, and bring a few children over to play. The left and right belong to cousins, It’s good to get in touch with each other.”

"Big sister's suggestion is really great."

"Look at you, it sounds delicious and fun, but you have lost half of your motherly posture." The queen teased, "Seeing that you are all grown up, I am also happy."

"Zi Yu's younger brother and daughter-in-law should also give birth. At that time, the queen mother will probably leave us behind and focus on making fun of the grandchildren. Of course, we sisters should show up in front of the mother's mother, so I'm not afraid that the mother will forget Let's go." Shuchen said with a coquettish smile.

"Your mouth is getting worse."

At this moment, Ran Dong happened to come in, and the joy on his face could not be concealed no matter what.She kowtowed to the queen, and said loudly: "Congratulations, empress, there is news from outside the palace that the eldest concubine gave birth to a baby boy!"

The queen was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "But it's true?!" After confirming again and again, she smiled and said: "This is really a happy event!"

"Congratulations to the queen mother." Shuyi winked, and several princesses also got up to congratulate the queen.

"The queen mother must be busy, so we will leave first. I will go and have a look at the day when the younger siblings and the children wash their hands, and then I will tell the queen mother about it." Retired.
