The return of Fengxi of the Red Chamber

Early the next morning, Wang Xifeng put on heavy makeup and entered the palace with two personal servant girls.

Empress Gu ordered someone to pick her up at the gate of the palace, understanding that Wang Xifeng was pregnant, and specially arranged a soft sedan to take her to and from Fengyi Palace.

When she entered Fengyi Palace, Wang Xifeng was about to salute and kowtow according to the rules, when the Gu family above hurriedly ordered someone to support her: "Madam Hou is pregnant, there is no need to be more polite, please sit down quickly."

Wang Xifeng insisted on performing the whole ceremony, and then sat down with the support of the maid, and said with a smile: "Although the empress is sympathetic, the concubines can't make it difficult for the empress, and you should stick to your duty as a courtier."

Gu replied with a smile: "You are too polite, not to mention that Jia Qing is a minister of the humerus and is still working for His Majesty outside, but you should not be so polite if you just say that you have a big belly now. Yesterday I am here to accept the greeting card from you, but it is getting late, and the weather is changing every few days, I thought you were unwell, so I never let you come late at night."

After explaining a few words, Gu asked with some concern and doubts: "But what's the important thing? I saw that you were quite emotional in your post. Jia Qing is away from home. If you have any difficulties, just tell me. Even if I can't, since His Majesty is here, Jia Qing will definitely not be allowed to work outside the home, and he will also take care of the young and old at home."

After hearing Gu's words, Wang Xifeng was moved to wipe away her tears with a handkerchief, knelt on the ground with a puff, and said, "Your Majesty and Your Majesty's hard work, the whole family of concubines is very grateful, and everyone is deeply grateful."

Breaking free from the maid who came to support her, Wang Xifeng grabbed the ground with her forehead, choked up and said: "If I hadn't lost my mind, my concubine would not have come to disturb the empress's purity, and I asked her to save our family's lives!"

Seeing Wang Xifeng's demeanor, Mrs. Gu was puzzled, and hurriedly called the maid: "Hurry up and help Mrs. Zhaominghou up, everyone has no discernment!"

After finishing speaking, he said softly to Wang Xifeng: "What are you doing? Is there anything you can't talk about? You are still pregnant, how can you not cherish your body like this? If there is something good or bad, wouldn't everyone Hanging heart?"

Seeing that Wang Xifeng was helped up and sat up, although she was choked up and shed tears, but it was expected that the fetus had not moved, Gu was slightly relieved.

Now Jia Lian is favored by the emperor, and Wang Xifeng is Jia Lian's favorite person. It is said that there is not only an aunt in the family, but there is not even a housemaid, which shows the deep love between the husband and wife.If something happened to her in her Fengyi Palace, it would be a disaster from heaven.

The thoughts in Gu's heart are not humane, but he asked gently: "What happened, you are crying like this? Just tell me, I will be your staff."

Wang Xifeng wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, and then said a little nervously: "It was a trivial matter in my family, and I shouldn't have to work on my mother, but my concubine was really terrified, so I came to find my mother." Show me."

"I don't know if my mother has heard that my second aunt gave birth to a child more than ten years ago. The child was strange. It was born with jade. My old lady likes something. She personally gave the name Baoyu. Tomorrow, I wrote his name and read it to people everywhere, so as to suppress his luck and make a lot of noise."

Mrs. Gu thought about it for a moment, and said with a smile: "Yes, I remember that there was such a thing, isn't it the younger brother of Yuan Chun who served in my palace before? It is said that the powder carving and jade carving of the little brother in the house brought The precious jade that came is also full and clear, and it is really a treasure that is hard to find in the sky and the earth."

Hearing this, Wang Xifeng couldn't help being surprised, what is a treasure that is hard to find in the sky and on the earth?

Is there anything in this world that the royal family can't find?

But she didn't show anything on her face, she just wept helplessly in her eyes and said: "The concubine only found out yesterday, then, that jade is fake! It turned out that my second auntie went to great lengths to win the favor of my old lady. I made great efforts to find someone to do it, pretending to be a leader who is blessed by nature, just to let Baoyu gain a foothold in Jia's family."

Mrs. Gu paused, and said with some embarrassment: "This, this is just the kindness of the second wife of the family. Although it is not right, but now that the man has passed away, we don't know what to do. That's all. The left and right are just a jade pendant, what is it worth, but you are crying in such a hurry, but what other reason is there?"

Wang Xifeng bit her lips, took another deep breath, and then said: "That jade pendant is fine, it was only a matter of more than ten years ago, but yesterday, the old lady in the concubine's mansion made another A silly thing."

"Oh? I also heard people say yesterday that there was an eminent monk who had attained the Tao, and a Taoist priest from a remote mountain. He looked very extraordinary and went straight to Rong Enhou's mansion. Later, news came out from the mansion, It is said that both of them are gods who came down to earth to save the life of a young man in the mansion, but it was Baoyu who didn't?"

Wang Xifeng nodded helplessly, and sighed: "Where did you come from such an eminent monk? They are just charlatans. Those two have already been captured by the concubine, and they are watching on the Zhuangzi outside the city. After strict interrogation, they It was the manpower left by the concubine and the second aunt, who bewitched my old lady to do such deceitful things again."

Gu's expression faded, and then he showed a smiling face again: "But how did I hear that the condition of the little brother in the family has indeed stabilized a lot?"

"That's because he took the right medicine. There are so many imperial doctors taking turns to see him, and the flowing water-style tonic is poured down continuously, and he will be fine." Wang Xifeng explained, and then said, "My family The second aunt has been away for several years, but the housekeepers she left behind are still there, and now that the second master in our family has lost his official position, it is inevitable that we will be a little anxious, so we came up with this method."

"Only relying on the words of the gods and Buddhas, I asked for an amulet for my cousin. If I can win the favor of the nobles, it will be more convenient for my cousin to enter the imperial examination in the future. Originally, my old lady did not agree, but she was lowered." People made sense, so they closed their eyes and cooperated. But this matter is done, firstly, it is disrespectful to the gods and Buddhas, secondly, it also deceives the world, and the most important thing is to deceive the empress, you and Your Majesty. This is really... ..."

As Wang Xifeng said, tears rolled down her eyes, her eyes were red and swollen and she said: "I learned about this incident by chance yesterday, my heart almost jumped out of my stomach, and I immediately sent someone into the palace to ask to see my empress, just to plead guilty."

As Wang Xifeng said, she was about to kneel down on the ground again, but was quickly stopped by the maid in charge beside her.

"If you ask me, Mrs. Hou is just too careful. This matter is not very related to you. The old lady loves her grandson with all her heart. I can naturally understand that Zuo is just caring about future generations. That's all. The second wife who has passed away as an immortal, even though she has done so many foolish things, it is for the sake of her son, there are still human feelings outside the law, Your Majesty is not such an unreasonable person."

Mrs. Gu comforted Wang Xifeng a few words, and then continued: "I already know about this matter, and I will order someone to inform your Majesty later. It's just that the news has already been spread, and it is inevitable that the child named Baoyu has to recite the matter." Bearing the title of being predestined with Buddha, I have been bearing it for a few more years."

Wang Xifeng pretended to be worried, and asked cautiously: "My cousin has always liked the beauty Rouge the most, and loves walking around in the garden. He really doesn't seem to be related to Buddha anywhere. He will be 12 years old this year, and he is still a kid who doesn't understand anything, so he really doesn't worry about anything."

"I thought to myself, this time he has also suffered a catastrophe. The Temple of the Reclining Buddha outside the city is very effective. When his condition is stable, he will be sent to live in the temple for a few months. When he comes, he should go outside rumors; secondly, I also want to tame his temperament, since he will end up in the imperial examination in two years, so it is not good to go on fooling around like this."

"This is my little thought, I don't know what the empress thinks?"

Mrs. Gu nodded, and said with a smile: "Mrs. Zhaominghou is very thoughtful, which sounds good to me. It's just that the Temple of the Reclining Buddha is a bit poor, but the Temple of the Reclining Buddha is very good, much more convenient than the Temple of the Reclining Buddha."

Wang Xifeng laughed heartily when he heard the words, nodded and said: "Your Majesty is still thoughtful, but Tanyun Temple is a royal temple, and Baoyu is still white now, so he dared to think about going to Tanyun Temple to cultivate. Now I have the words of my Majesty. Naturally, the Tanyun Temple is better than the Reclining Buddha Temple, so the concubine will have confidence in her heart, and send Baoyu there in half a month."

The two chatted a little more, and Wang Xifeng asked a little shyly, "I don't know where your majesty is, but is there any news about my second master? Since he left Beijing two months ago, the old ladies and wives at home are worried. , but we don’t know where he is now. Seeing that the weather is getting cold, I still want to send some thick clothes to keep warm.”

Mrs. Gu didn't know either, so she turned her head and said to the maid next to her, "Go ahead and have a look. If His Majesty is not busy, just ask where Marquis Zhaoming is now, and did he have an address or something. Just say Jia's The female relatives were worried and wanted to send some things there, asking for a detailed address."

The palace maid responded, and Wang Xifeng heard the words and said: "This is too much trouble for your majesty and Your Majesty. The concubine just asked casually, and I am not afraid even if there is no news. I also brought a lot of bank notes when I left. It would be difficult to buy them again." of."

"Bought from outside, how can it compare with the ones sent by relatives at home? This is the heart of you, the old Duke and Mrs. Rong Enhou. And I am afraid that the snow will fall in another month. It is estimated that the pedestrians of Zhaominghou It’s time to return soon, and it’s not conducive to construction when it’s freezing cold.”

Mrs. Gu looked at Wang Xifeng's pregnant belly with a smile, and said softly, "Madam's pregnancy is more than three months old. When Marquis Zhaoming comes back, he must be overjoyed."

Wang Xifeng rubbed his stomach, and smiled softly: "My second master still doesn't know the news, so let him not deliver a letter for two months, and when the time comes, let's scare him and see if he has any What to say."

The two of them used this excuse to say a few more words about children's scriptures, and the solemn and dull atmosphere just now was swept away, and the Fengyi Palace was very happy for a while.

At this time, an eunuch outside reported that Situ Yao was coming here and asked everyone to prepare to pick him up.
