[Red House] A beautiful girl welcomes the spring

After Jia Yan said this, the emperor knew that his mother had made up her mind. She would not care about his sons, nor would she raise his daughter for him, nor would she be a mascot in the deep palace.However, the emperor knew that Jia Yan's decision was the best for the country.

Because there are many sacrifices in the second half of the year, Jia Yan will leave for the summer palace after the second year's persuasion ceremony.In the future, Jia Yan will not return to the palace unless it is a sacrifice that requires the Empress Dowager to appear in person.

Hearing this news, not only the cabinet, but even Empress Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

Without him, Jia Yan's influence on the harem of the former dynasty is too great, even Empress Feng does not want a mother-in-law on her head.Even though Ningshou Palace is far away from Qingliang Palace, to the queen, Jia Yan, the mother-in-law, is still the Five Fingers Mountain above her head.

On the contrary, it was Xue Baochai who was very anxious when he heard that Jia Yan was going to the Summer Palace.For the first time in many years, she submitted an application to the palace to see the Empress Dowager without consulting her husband.

Empress Feng spoke sourly to her wet nurse, Keshi: "Look, our wife, the political adviser, is a hard-core Queen's Party."

But in fact, Empress Feng quickly approved Xue Baochai's application and asked Xue Baochai to meet Jia Yan.

Xue Baochai is the same age as Jia Yan, and her husband is older than her.At that time, because the emperor and the empress married, everyone in the government and the public knew that Xue Baochai and his wife belonged to Jia Yan. Some even said that it was because of Jia Yan's relationship that Xue Baochai's husband was able to enter the cabinet and become the deputy prime minister.

But what does it matter?For Xue Baochai, people who can say such things say that grapes are sour because they can't eat grapes.Of course, Xue Baochai did not deny that, compared to the glory of the prime minister's wife, she was more happy that she finally surpassed Lin Daiyu and became Jia Yan's confidant.

As the Empress Dowager's confidant, she was naturally nervous when the palace suddenly revealed that the Empress Dowager would go to the Summer Palace next year.After being with Jia Yan for a long time, she would not do the kind of thing where official salt is sold as private salt. She is the wife of the deputy prime minister, and she is asking to see the queen mother, who can say otherwise?

Xue Baochai just knelt in front of Jia Yan.

Jia Yan is also very happy to see her old friend.Although Jia Yan is now the empress dowager, she can be said to be the highest elder in the royal family, and Xue Baochai is also the wife of the prime minister, so it is not uncommon to order his wife to enter the palace to see the empress dowager.But even so, there are not many opportunities for them to sit together and talk like this every year.Not to mention sitting so close together.

Seeing Jia Yan's temples dotted with stars, Xue Baochai was full of bitterness, but his face was full of smiles.

"Seeing that the empress is safe, the stone in this concubine's heart has finally fallen to the ground."

"Look at what Sister Bao said. Sisters in the old days, it is also a blessing to be able to sit like this." @无限好文，all in Jinjiang Literature City

"Your Majesty, the concubines are afraid. They are all under the protection of the Empress, otherwise, there would be no concubines today." Xue Baochai said with a smile, "The concubines are thinking about it. The concubine will go to the Summer Palace in the coming year. It would be great if the concubines could serve you with you." It’s gone.” @无限好文, all in Jinjiang Literature City

"Okay. Turn around, I'll ask someone to reserve a room for you in the Xinghuachun Pavilion."

Xue Baochai quickly thanked her again.

Jia Yan quickly asked someone to help her up, and said: "By the way, let's take Sister Lin with me. This girl is lazy before spring! It's time to move. By the way, Sister Bao, Have you seen Sister Lin's granddaughter before? She looks similar to Sister Lin when she was a child, but that rigid appearance is very much like Sister Bao's back then."

Xue Baochai himself was embarrassed when he said it: "Your Majesty, don't make fun of my concubine. When I was young, my concubine was ignorant, but she still had a high spirit and did a lot of stupid things. Thanks to the blessing of my ancestors, I met my concubine. Otherwise , I still don’t know where it is now. The empress compared the concubine with the little princess of the prince’s mansion, didn’t she kill the concubine?”

Jia Yan said with a smile: "Sister Bao is too modest now. Is it true that Sister Bao is not good now? The 50-year-old prime minister's wife is not young in the cabinet, but she is not old either. What's more, the children of Chen Zhengzheng are not all Bao Sister raised it? By the way, Sister Bao also has several granddaughters now, just if there are any that are fun. I will bring them with me when the time comes."

When Xue Baochai heard about it, he immediately understood that something was wrong with Jia Yan.

She naturally agreed.

If it was in the past, she would definitely have mentioned Tanchun and Xichun, but now, even if she guessed it, she would not easily make decisions for others, so she made fun of Jia Yan for a long time before going back.When Chen Yuanshou came down from the cabinet, Xue Baochai had already arrived home.

Looking at his wife who was sitting on the dressing table taking off her makeup, Chen Yuanshou was taken aback for a moment, and then understood:

"Ma'am, are you entering the palace?"

"Yes, sir." Xue Baochai changed into homely clothes, got up and said to her husband, "The Empress Dowager suddenly said that she was going to the Summer Palace, and she would not come back if there was no serious matter. Tell me, how can I be at peace in my heart?"

As he said that, he came over to undress Chen Yuanshou himself, and said: "Master, I have owed my whole life to the Empress Dowager. If I hadn't been lucky enough to meet the Empress Dowager, how would I have this opportunity to marry the Master as his wife, and how would I have the children I have today?" Mantang? All my life, the first half of my life, I depend on my empress."

When Chen Yuanshou heard about it, he also sighed, patted his wife's hand, and said: "I am also lucky to be husband and wife with my wife."

It wasn't that Chen Yuanshou said it, Chen Yuanshou himself knew it, even if Emperor Xiaozong who had just passed away wanted to use him so what?If the inner house is messy, he doesn't have the energy to climb up.Therefore, Xue Baochai helped him a lot.

Of course, if you have to say it yourself, if Xue Pan has been ignorant and is in the hands of his mother, Chen Yuanshou would not dare to hand over all the family affairs to Xue Baochai, his wife.Therefore, most of the time, Chen Yuanshou was glad that Xue Pan married Zhen Yinglian and took care of his mother-in-law. It was because of the Feng family's secret support that the Xue family lived so peacefully.

Xue Baochai didn't know that her husband had such thoughts in her mind, even if she knew, she would only sigh in her heart and shake her head at her mother's confusion.

After all, she has been cheated enough by her mother in this life, and the mother-daughter bond that was born that day has almost been worn away now.

She said: "My lord, I have something to do for my wife and I want to ask the lord to show me. My mother invited me to the summer palace as a guest, and she also mentioned Yi Wangfei and the little princess of Yi Wang's mansion. My mother also asked me if there is any age-appropriate family at home. girl."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yuanshou said, "Concubine Yi? Prince Yi's Mansion? The empress dowager wants... No, I mean, tell me, what does the empress dowager mean?"

Xue Baochai grew up with Jia Yan, and in Chen Yuanshou's view, his wife knew Jia Yan much better than himself.

Xue Baochai replied: "What else can I have? Isn't it just that I am getting old, and His Majesty Xiaozong has left, and I feel lonely."

"not for……"

Isn't it to prepare for the selection of a concubine for His Royal Highness?

Xue Baochai smiled and said: "Look at what the master said. The master is a cabinet minister. How can our granddaughter be any worse? However, according to the temperament of the empress dowager, she is the concubine of Long Live. The empress has never said anything, and it is all up to His Majesty Xiaozong." It's up to you. Not only Long Live, but also the princes below. How can the Empress Dowager care about the people below?"

When Chen Yuanshou heard this, he felt relieved.

"If that's the case, then this trip to the summer palace will be of great benefit to our children. Look, how about taking the big girl?"

In this era, it is always easier for girls who have won royal praise in the marriage market.Chen Yuanshou and Xue Baochai's eldest granddaughter is now ten years old, and after a year or so, it's time to get ready to see each other.

Xue Baochai shook her head immediately, and said: "Master, the eldest girl is a little older, but you have forgotten what happened in the Duke Cheng'en's mansion back then? Madam suffered such hardships when she was young, so I think it is not It’s convenient to take the second daughter’s daughter there, but the older one’s Kui Niang is better.”

The sunflower in Xue Baochai's mouth is called Chen Zhaokui scientifically, and she also has a brother named Chen Zhaowen.

Knowing the relationship between the Chen family and the palace, several of Xue Baochai's sons got married earlier, and of course, the grandchildren also came out earlier.Therefore, Xue Baochai, who is the same age as Jia Yan, has three grandsons and two granddaughters.

The Kui Niang that Xue Baochai was talking about was the daughter of her eldest son, who was only eight years old.

Chen Yuanshou thought for a while, and said: "Look at me, I've already forgotten this, Madam should be careful. If that's the case, just listen to Madam. It's settled like this, let the eldest daughter-in-law pay more attention, and take advantage of these few days to prepare early , so as not to be busy during the new year."

Not to mention the general affairs of the Chen family, let's say that this year the Ministry of Officials sent the appraisal. The emperor was worried about his mother's employment, so he casually asked Wang Ren and his wife Tanchun, only to learn that Wang Ren had passed away four years ago.Tanchun's son Ding You also went back to mourn.

When the emperor heard it, he saw that Wang Jun'an was originally a second-class Jinshi, but he was the magistrate of Jing County from the fifth rank before, and he did a good job in his post.

The emperor opened his mouth to ask, and the people below knew the elegant meaning, and quickly filled Wang Junan with the head of the household department. Naturally, Tanchun was also included in the list of ladies who went to the summer palace to accompany Jia Yan.
