The eldest brother of the Lin family in the Red Chamber

Jia Baoyu has always been an overly naive son.Even Feng Ziying and Wei Ruolan, who are similar in age to him and used to eat, drink and have fun together, have begun to get in touch with family contacts. He is still curled up under the wings of his grandmother, ignorant of world affairs, soft and innocent.It was rare for Yuan Chun to go home, and to be honest, he knew that it was not appropriate for him to come back, but it was too deserted in the palace, and he couldn't help but want to see his natal family, even if he couldn't even have a light meal.But when he saw the younger brother whom he loved since childhood, he could only sigh secretly: "It would be great if Zhu'er was still here."

If Jia Zhu was still there, Baoyu could be so ignorant, and no one would think it mattered.

But after this trip, uncles, brothers, grandmother, and mother complained to her one by one, and the only younger brother did not ask for a future, but what he asked for made her smile even more bitterly.Most of the eunuchs and maids around her belonged to the palace of the Supreme Emperor and Empress, but she didn't care too much, she just told her grandmother: "Princess Wu will enter the palace in a few days. , but I thought, Lin Shu came out of the old lady's stomach anyway, she usually walks around more, don't be too born. She is not short of flatterers now, but because of this, everyone is going to ask for warmth, We didn't make any movement, wouldn't it be chilling?"

Jia Mu quickly responded: "What your mother said is true." She also thought about it in her heart, and Daiyu's entry into the palace would also help Yuanchun.It's just that the cousin has become the queen's adoptive daughter, I'm afraid the situation of the cousin will become more and more difficult.Speaking of others, how is this seniority!

Yuan Chun managed to hold back his tears, and carefully instructed Mother Jia a few words, and said softly: "I know Madam, Yiren is wronged, just think about it, who is Jingyuan Hou? Let alone you, I am afraid of Jingyuanhou Concubine Is his temperament not offending others? Think about those princes and grandchildren, what do we have?" Then he said to Mrs. Xing, "I don't know why the family has been divided, but the old lady is still here, so there must be someone in charge of things. Everyone looks like a family."

The last time she went home to visit relatives, Rongning Second Mansion specially built a family-visiting villa to welcome her, which was extravagant. Although Yuan Chun was worried when she saw it, she could see that the family still had some foundations. , is still well-clothed and well-fed, but what kind of eyes are raised in wealth?Among other things, the set of jewelry on Jia Mu's body was dazzling, but it was the same set when she came back to visit her relatives last time.The quality of this set is naturally good, I'm afraid you can't buy it even if you hold mountains of gold and silver.It's just that there are new styles every year. For a big family like them, although the ancestral jewels are naturally more precious, they still have to spend a lot of money to buy new ones from time to time.Mother Jia also likes new things, and she took out this set of jewelry to wear, which only shows one thing - she has never bought something more decent than this set in all these years.

She could only secretly feel helpless, her natal family expected her to speak good words to them in the palace, and she relied on her natal family's success to support her. They all wanted nothing but got nothing, so don't blame anyone.

It's just how can I be reconciled.

When she was canonized back then, everyone envied her, and she was unparalleled in the limelight. Even the Rongning Second Mansion also walked with her head held high, making every step a breeze.At that time, Daiyu was just an orphan girl who had just lost her father. She was attached to her cheap brother, and both of them could barely be called children.Who knows how many years it will be in the blink of an eye?The little cousin who was pitiful for Jian'er back then has suddenly become the princess of Wu.Although she is only the queen's adopted daughter and has not been formally canonized, is it true that the canonization ceremony of her Xiande concubine is serious?What's more, who are her Jia Yuanchun's brothers? Behind that little princess, there is Jing Yuanhou who is doing his best to plan for her.The young master who was despised by people back then stayed dormant for three full years and won the reputation of filial piety. However, his future has not been compromised in the slightest because of those three years.

How can you not be jealous.

Not long after Yuan Chun returned to the palace, he was surprised to hear that Princess Jingrou was punished and grounded by the emperor himself.This little princess came from a different background and was always favored by the emperor. What's more, now that the choice of son-in-law has been decided, the princess will not be able to stay in the palace for long.How could there be such a big fire.

"Let the son-in-law's family hear what it looks like." The Supreme Emperor doesn't often meddle in the affairs of his grandchildren, but this time he opened his mouth.

"This girl set up the princess mansion to live separately. If she still has such a temper, I'm afraid the son-in-law will end up with her." The emperor sighed.He likes girls who are petite. The daughter of the royal family should be arrogant and coquettish, submissive.It's too outrageous to just contradict my aunt several times.The empress has also been irritable recently, ignoring Concubine De's begging, she punished several of her close maids, and even a dowry nanny went to receive the punishment.Jing Rou became more and more angry, and when she heard that her father was having tea with the queen, she went to sue in the name of pleading for the nanny.Although the emperor favored this daughter, he was sobered up by asking the nobleman, "Isn't the empress punished according to the palace rules?", and the empress said with a smile, "If you offend your majesty's favorite jewel, don't stay away. Do you still go to His Majesty to make fun of it?" Very pitiful, and seeing the intimacy of married couples, he naturally understands that if Jing Rou makes an exception today, it will be troublesome for the empress to set rules in the palace in the future .It was originally intended to give face to the emperor and concubines, if even the princess can step on her now, what would it be like.So regardless of the queen's intercession, Jing Rou was put in confinement.

Yuan Chun sneered in his heart: "How else can we say that whoever in this palace can pretend to be pitiful will be able to stand out? Concubine De looks weak and weak, how can an empress show weakness."

Although she said so, she had no choice but to pretend to be innocent in front of the old saint.Jia Daishan left early, so she naturally didn't remember anything. However, this did not prevent her from telling the Supreme Emperor how her grandfather respected the old sage at home, and how many interesting stories and hardships she had said about marching and fighting. Lian Dao is Rong Guogong after all, that is, he is loyal.It's just that the emperor was too quiet, and the emperor's favor for the Rongguo Mansion could not stop her natal family's decline, and could only barely keep her safe in the harem.And her only protection has long been too old to be reconciled, but she watched the lights gradually wither.

With such helplessness, even the old saint who was once No. 1 in the world is unable to recover, let alone a little girl.

Fortunately, although her natal family is useless, she still has good relatives.It is not without precedent for a princess with a foreign surname, but they all went out to get married. Like Daiyu, who was named a princess, she was married under the honor, and she was the only one.People say that my niece looks like an aunt, although Mrs. Wang doesn't like Jia Min, so she doesn't allow her servants to say more, but Yuan Chun knows that her own eyebrows and eyes are quite similar to that little aunt with golden branches and jade leaves.What's more, even if Jia's mother and Wang's lack of vision and insight offended Lin Mo, she was in the palace well, but she didn't say anything or do anything.Cousin and cousin said that this identity cannot be revealed in this palace at all, but she is so close to Princess Wu, at least she has a little more confidence than other concubines.

It's just that she didn't expect that before Daiyu entered the palace, her entire future would be ruined.

That day was no different from usual.The Supreme Emperor is a person who likes to be lively, but his body can no longer withstand any toss, so his palace is as quiet and deserted as any old man's. Even now that the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, it makes people feel chilly from the bottom of their hearts.The Taishanghuang felt that it was boring, so he called a few concubines to play cards for fun.

He was considered romantic back then, but he favored Concubine Hua. There were many young concubines among the concubines, but they were more frivolous. When the emperor looked at them, he felt that he was old and didn't like them always dangling in front of his eyes, so he came here. They were all old people in the palace back then, who were familiar with the emperor's temper. Concubine Song also brought a sour radish and old duck soup stewed by herself.Shanghuang ate a lot of delicacies from mountains and seas, and it would be appetizing to eat some home-cooked food once in a while, not to mention that this dish nourishes the spleen and kidney. Ask Aifei to do a lot of work, and ask Yuan Chun to take it down and heat it up.

However, Concubine Song finally flattered her once, how could Yuan Chun steal the limelight and insisted on going by herself, but the old sage said: "She is a junior, she should."

Yuan Chun knew the old sage's cravings, so besides the hot soup, he also prepared a small dish of his own fried sauce for the old sage to dip the radish into.Everything was brought up safely, they had just finished playing around there, just in time to take a break to drink soup and try Concubine Song's handicrafts.

Logically, the eunuchs had to try this soup first, but since it was stewed by the emperor's concubine himself, the little eunuchs also cringed a little.So Concubine Song smiled and said: "May I try to burn it for Your Majesty?" With the emperor's acquiescence, she blew on it and drank it.

It was this one that went wrong.

Concubine Song sent the soup herself, she begged to try it herself, and in the end it poisoned herself.

Who would believe she was so stupid?

Naturally, all eyes were on Yuan Chun.

The imperial doctor came quickly, took the pulse of Song Taifei, and tested the duck soup, but said vaguely: "Old sage, don't worry, although this poison is strong and fierce, it passes quickly, and the concubine will be fine when she spits it out. Life is at risk."

It was a scandal at the Old Saint's Palace.Although the empress is the lord of the harem, it is inconvenient to intervene. The empress dowager also said that she is not in good health: "Besides, even if the palace is healthy, it doesn't have the brains to deal with this matter. If a good person is wronged, wouldn't it be chilling?"

The Supreme Emperor loves making decisions so much, but he wants to hand over this matter to the Empress Dowager and Empress.why?It's not that the palms of the hands and the backs of the hands are all meat, no one can bear it.The queen mother is the emperor's son, and her daughter-in-law is her own niece. She has been at ease all these years. As long as her daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law are filial, she will take care of the old saint's harem.The Supreme Emperor is not the emperor, no matter what the queen does, she will believe it.

This matter has to be decided by the emperor.

Yuan Chun was put under house arrest in the Lanchun Palace, unable to move if she couldn't speak, and Baoqin who went to the kitchen with her that day was locked up somewhere, whether she was dead or alive.

She is really innocent.

Leaving aside whether she has the courage, if there is anyone in the palace who sincerely hopes that the Supreme Emperor will live a long life, Jia Yuanchun will be the first one.What's more, she serves the emperor every day, so she has more time to cook medicine and porridge for him, so that she can use these small tricks in full view?

However, Concubine Song also has a lot of reasons, she is meeting with Concubine Yu and Concubine Qi today.Those two went to her palace to wait for her first, Concubine Yu also tasted the soup with her, this soup was served directly in the small casserole that made the soup, how many pairs of eyes saw it with their own eyes.

Concubine Yu also testified to Concubine Song, saying that what she said was absolutely true.

In this way, Yuan Chun became more suspicious.

"Your Majesty's heart is softening now. If we leave it in the past, no one will have the right to speak." The Queen Mother said.The Taishanghuang used to have a bad temper. When he encountered such a disappointing thing, he didn't care about the right and wrong, just picked him up and punished him. If he encountered this kind of situation back then, both of them would lose their heads. As it is now, it is necessary to distinguish whose fault it is.

The queen smiled slightly and lowered her head to look at the list sent by the maid.Daiyu will enter the palace in a few days. She puts her in her own palace, where she eats and lives together, but she has to make decisions about the furnishings in the room and the girl's clothes and jewelry.Hearing the Queen Mother's words, she smiled calmly: "Concubine Song is an old man accompanying the Emperor, but I see that Concubine Yuan pleases the Emperor more."

The empress dowager was a little unhappy.

She came from a noble family, although the Zhu family was not very prominent, and there was no one in power, but she had several great Confucian scholars, so she was named Concubine Shu as soon as she entered the palace.Later, the emperor favored Concubine Hua and made Empress Wenzhen angry to death. There was a lot of discussion in the court. In order to appease the courtiers, he made Concubine Shu the queen, and conferred the title of Concubine Hua as Imperial Concubine.If it hadn't been for the empress dowager's son to win, it would be hard to say who the master of the harem is.

However, the Supreme Emperor is a long-lasting person, especially when he gets older, he feels more and more that the concubines who accompanied him all the way back then were not easy, not to mention that the women in the palace have always been good at taking care of themselves, even if they are old and fading, It can be regarded as dignified and beautiful, but not to the point of being disgusting.Therefore, although he likes Yuanchun very much, he seems to be a little biased towards Concubine Song at this time.

What's more, Concubine Song also had witnesses, but now she is lying pitifully on the sickbed.

"I have already said that Concubine Xiande is also from the family. Filial piety is a good thing, but what it looks like!" The Empress Dowager couldn't help complaining, rather blaming the Empress for not caring about her concubine.

The queen leaned over and confessed.

The queen mother became angry when she saw her like this, but there was nowhere to vent her anger, so she said helplessly, "That's all."

This matter is said to be a debate about right and wrong, but in the final analysis, it is just a matter of which one the emperor likes better.

The queen went to Lanchun Palace.

In just two days, Yuan Chun was already emaciated, with no make-up on his face, loose hair, dark circles under his eyes, looking very pitiful.

The queen looked at her silently for a while, and finally said: "The emperor will come over soon, my sister can wash up first." She glanced at the lifeless maids and eunuchs in Lanchun Palace, waved her hand, and the female officer behind her immediately went to help Yuanchun stand up.

Yuan Chun didn't know where the strength came from, so he rushed over and hugged the queen's thigh: "Mother, I didn't poison, I didn't poison!"

"This matter." The queen was also in a dilemma, "I can't take charge of this palace, you can talk to the emperor."

It's just that Yuan Chun didn't know that when the emperor came, there would be iron nails under the golden mouth and jade teeth. If she believed her, it would be fine, but if she didn't believe her, she might be forever lost.

There was chaos in the palace that day, although the empress ordered people to keep silent, who wasn't talking about it in private?Those who gloat, those who are curious about the results, and those who think they are smart all emerge in endlessly.The Jia family has been around for nearly a hundred years and has many connections, so someone naturally leaked the news.I didn't dare to say anything.It is only said that the empress in the mansion has offended the emperor.

Jia's mother was very worried, and she looked for a way to see Yuan Chun and ask about the details.Unexpectedly, the eunuch who was very talkative in the past didn't even dare to take the money this time.Not only that, the eunuch Xia who borrowed a lot of money from their family back then even remembered to return the money.

What a smart person Jia Mu is, she immediately understood, I'm afraid Yuan Chun's troubles this time are not small, these people are going to have nothing to do with their family!

She wandered around like headless flies all night, and finally made up her mind: "Prepare the car and go to Jingyuanhou's Mansion."
