The Jade in the Red Chamber is the Royal Courtyard

"What's going on here?" The emperor asked Xue Baochai again, with an ugly expression on his face. Although Xue Baochai was also from the Jia family, this Xue Baochai was completely different from Jia Yuanchun. Jia Yuanchun was for the benefit of the Jia family. It can be said that he was climbing up at all costs. He kept Jia Yuanchun by his side for decades, but he never gave her a title because he didn't want this smart woman to become a political @政@斗@ However, the emperor did not expect that the thing he tried his best to protect would be trampled by Jia Yuanchun in this way, which also broke the emperor's heart.

However, the emperor also got fun from this. Jia Yuanchun, who is virtuous and virtuous in front of the people, is like a brothel girl in front of the emperor. She serves the emperor in every possible way on the bed, and also allows the emperor to truly recognize the true face of this woman. .

And this Xue Baochai is completely different from Jia Yuanchun, I dote on her very much, among the same batch of beautiful women who entered the palace, she was the first to serve her bed, and she was also the first to be named Jieyu Yes, now he has his own residence, but even so, Xue Baochai is still kind and generous to others, and has always kept his duty, and has never done anything out of line. Search is very admired.

He even told the emperor that this Xue Baochai was very good, if she didn't know that she was from the Jia family, it would not be too much to be a concubine.The most important thing for women in the palace is to keep their duty, but these women can still remember their duty when they are still beauties, but once they are favored by the emperor, or promoted to a position, these women He completely forgot who he was, and forgot his duty in the palace.

Although the emperor wants gifts and grace, he wants to strive for the greatest benefits for his family.

But Xue Baochai never asked for it, whether it was for his own family or for his elder brother, he never asked for it, so the emperor liked Xue Baochai very much, and the emperor had been waiting for Xue Baochai to take care of him. A high rank will bring higher benefits to the Xue family.

The emperor has become interested in Xue Baochai, and at the same time has a bit of love for Xue Baochai. Of course, there is no love, but there are also somewhat different feelings.

"Tell me, what exactly happened?" The emperor asked Xue Baochai softly.

"Your Majesty, it's really nothing, it's my fault, I accidentally fell while walking." Xue Baochai said hastily.

"But really?" The emperor asked Xue Baochai calmly.

"Your Majesty don't ask, it's not a big deal." Xue Baochai said with her head down.

"It's difficult for you to give in like this in the harem." The emperor looked at Xue Baochai and said calmly.

"Your majesty, it's really nothing. The concubine doesn't want a high position in the harem or much power. It's fine for the concubine to serve the emperor and the empress well." Xue Baochai said with a faint smile.

"You really think so." The emperor looked into Xue Baochai's eyes and continued to ask.

"The concubine has no other ideas." Xue Baochai continued.

"Baochai, do you know that I have always liked your open-mindedness. I have seen too many women before they were favored. They all understood the rules, but after being favored? There are no rules at all. Now, relying on my love, I want everything, food, clothes, and clothes; I can satisfy her, want to promote my family, and want more benefits for the family, take me as a What happened?" The emperor's tone even contained disdain.

"The emperor is the ruler of a country. Of course, the woman whom the emperor loves is above one person and under ten thousand people. How many women in the world don't want to stand behind the emperor? The concubine is no exception, but the concubine knows her identity , I also know my status, the only person who can stand shoulder to shoulder with the emperor is the empress, and the concubines only need to have a small position behind the emperor. It is the greatest honor for the emperor to give such a favor to a merchant girl." Xue Baochai said with a smile.

"You are really sensible." The emperor looked at Xue Baochai with a smile.

"So don't ask any more questions, Your Majesty, it's just a small injury." Xue Baochai said with a smile.

"It's you who are waiting for me here." The emperor said with some amusement while shaking his head.

"How about the ointment?" The emperor looked at Xue Baochai and asked.

"Yes, the emperor, don't worry, the Xue family is an imperial merchant, how could there not be such a small thing." Xue Baochai said with a smile.

"I forgot!" The emperor couldn't help laughing.

"Where is the ointment, I will get it!" the emperor asked Xue Baochai.

"In the small box over there, Ying'er went to fetch water, just wait for Ying'er to come back to get it." Xue Baochai said quickly, but saw the emperor standing up quickly, and took the ointment in the small box with his own hands. Take it out.Then she sat opposite to Xue Baochai again.

"Your Majesty!" Xue Baochai quickly looked at the Emperor in surprise, she never expected that the Emperor would fetch the ointment for herself.

"What's the point? I should do something for my own woman." The emperor said with a smile.

Xue Baochai looked at the emperor with his own eyes, watched him pull up the skirt for himself, and slowly rubbed Xue Baochai's bruised knee.

"It's already bruised, it's best not to use hot water to compress it, rub it, and then use ointment, maybe it will be better." The emperor said with a faint smile.

"Yeah!" Xue Baochai agreed lightly, but her lips were pressed tightly together.

"Does it hurt? Just bear with it a little bit." The emperor comforted him softly.

"Yeah!" Xue Baochai quickly agreed, and squeezed her lips tightly, holding back the pain.

"Your Majesty, the hot water is calling. It wasn't so slow at first. It was the Empress Defei who asked me to send the hot water to Empress Defei's palace..." Yinger wanted to say something else, but she couldn't wait. Looking up, he saw the emperor sitting opposite Xue Baochai.

"Your Majesty sees the Emperor! Your Majesty forgives me!" Ying'er hurriedly put the water aside, knelt down on the ground as usual, trembling all over as she said.

"Get up, just serve your master well." The emperor said hastily.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ying'er quickly thanked her, the Emperor heard everything she said just now.

"You go down first, after a while I called the imperial dining room to deliver lunch, I will have lunch with your master here at noon today." The emperor said to Ying'er.
