The Honest Man of the Red Chamber

The queen hesitated for a moment, glanced at Concubine Zhuang who obviously wouldn't leave immediately, and had no choice but to lead Wang Guizhi into the back of the screen.

Wang Guizhi was desperately thinking about how to come up with a set of rhetoric, how to make up nonsense?As soon as she raised her head, she saw the emperor, and she was so frightened that she quickly knelt down and shouted long live.

To be honest, she is really afraid of the current emperor, and this kind of fear is more of awe.Not only because of his identity, but also because of the wisdom of tolerance and understanding shown in several conversations, not every superior has such a magnanimous heart.

The emperor raised his hand lightly, motioning for her to get up and didn't say much.

The queen said, "The emperor is here, Madam Jia can speak directly if she has anything to say."

Seeing the situation like this, Wang Guizhi had no choice but to go all out. She lowered her head, but could only stammer hesitantly, "Actually, before, it was in the garden of Prince Yijun. The daughters of our family have all met the prince. After a while...at that time..."

What can I do?I can't make it anymore!After all, if he only faced the empress, Wang Guizhi still had a little confidence that he could fool her.As soon as she left the palace, she went to her son-in-law to lie to his elder brother Yuanyuan, but she dared not tell the lie to the emperor again!

After reading so many harem novels, there is a big taboo for heroines who have done a little research. In ancient feudal society, it was absolutely impossible to marry one daughter to two husbands, let alone between princes.She originally planned to just say something vaguely to the queen. The queen is the mother of the prince, so she will naturally favor her son. As long as the queen doesn't issue an order, the emperor will definitely not promise Sister Bao to Chengjun again after he finds out. The king is now, and it is unlikely to be given to the prince. There is a probability of more than [-]% that Xue Baochai should be let to marry herself.

Wang Guizhi faltered so much that he couldn't speak clearly, the queen didn't understand, but Emperor Yanzai immediately reacted.It suddenly occurred to him that since the establishment of the prince, the prince has been diligent and conscientious. It can be said that he has devoted himself to official affairs. on track.

I didn't hear any good news from the prince's house, and when I came back from the west, there seemed to be no one in his yard.

This draft... Could it be?Concubine Zhuang did it on purpose.

The time when the crown prince met the girls of Jia's family was far before Concubine Zhuang mentioned to him that she would bestow a concubine on behalf of King Chengjun.I didn't pay attention at the time, but now that I think about it, there are so many good girls' families, more expensive than the Xue family's Lin family, there are quite a few of them who are beautiful, talented and filial.Why do you have to choose, what about the girls of the Jia family?

Emperor Yanzai didn't think about it before.For him, the crown prince's status is stable, and the king of Chengjun is his minister and his own son. It is very reasonable for him to want to be a concubine.

But if Concubine Zhuang found out that the crown prince had such an impression of the girls of Jia's family, but deliberately asked him to marry Chengjun Wang, she would be punished.

It's no wonder the Jia family resisted so much. They didn't know what the prince was thinking, so they wanted to let nature take its course, but if the girls from Xue Lin's family were to marry Chengjun Wang.That's obviously looking for yourself, isn't it!That's why Mrs. Wang desperately hoped that the queen could ration the girl from the Lin family to her son, and then she wanted to find an excuse to ration the girl from the Xue family to some other clansman.

From the Jia family's point of view, this is the perfect solution.

As courtiers, they let their daughters enter the palace to participate in the election according to the rules of their ancestors. If the prince wants to, he can tell the princess or the queen that it is loyalty.

The prince has no intention, after the primary selection of the two girls of Xue and Lin, if they don't enter the palace and let them marry themselves, it is also loyal.

But he just couldn't promise his daughter's family to King Chengjun.

Even if the crown prince doesn't remember the admiration at that time, the Jia family won't let his brother take him by his side, occasionally hurting his eyes.

Regardless of whether the prince cares about it or not, the Jia family must absolutely avoid such a situation from happening.

In the blink of an eye, Emperor Ting Zai had already thought clearly.He knew that the Jia family was a courtier and did not dare to offend the royal family, so he had some suspicious thoughts and actions. As an emperor, he knew that no one is perfect, and the courtiers should have tolerance for minor flaws.

Seeing that Wang Gui did not dare to lift the branch, Emperor Ting Zai said, "Madam Wang, you don't need to say more, I already know about this, you can go back at ease. The two girls, Xue Lin, will be married by themselves, what do you think?"

This is simply ecstasy!

The emperor is really a saint!

Wang Guizhi really didn't expect such an unexpected surprise, so he hurriedly kowtowed to thank him, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I am very grateful."

Seeing Wang Guizhi, Emperor Yanzai immediately turned from worry to joy, with a smile on his lips, joy in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.He was also very happy in his heart, he thought he was not a mean and ungrateful emperor, and he was very considerate in such trivial matters.Seeing that Wang Guizhi was so happy, he felt more and more that he was indeed such an unworldly and wise monarch as she boasted.

Wang Guizhi left the palace happily. Although he didn't know why Emperor Yanzai suddenly appeared in the queen's palace, he was very generous and considerate, and even allowed Xue Baochai and Sister Lin to choose their own husbands. What a beautiful thing about pie in the sky!

Emperor Yanzai narrowed his eyes, and said to the queen, "Call Concubine Zhuang in, I want to talk to her." After all, he still wanted to show Concubine Zhuang a face, "Go for a stroll outside."

The queen thoughtfully said, "I just wanted to tell you, the emperor, that the beautiful flowers sent by Concubine Zhuang just now made me want to go to the garden too."

"Ah."

When Concubine Zhuang came in, she really saw the emperor, and he was really behind the screen the whole time!

Her eyes immediately became sore and swollen, and her rationality told her that her delusional thoughts about the nameless fire before were all wrong, but her heart was full of pain and sadness, and she wanted to loudly ask the man she loved so much, why!

Why did you always place it with her when you wanted to rest before, but now you always come to the queen?

The queen and him were indeed a couple who had been by their side since they were teenagers, but no matter when they were in the residence or in the first few years of entering the palace, he spent the most time resting with her every month!

Seeing Concubine Zhuang staring at him deeply, almond eyes filled with pitiful tears, even though he knew that her mind was not weak at all, Emperor Yanzai still felt soft in his heart. Many imperial doctors had told him about his eye disease, and wanted to Radical cure is impossible, birth, old age, sickness and death are inevitable even for the wise emperor, how long can he watch them.

"Hey, don't cry, I don't see anyone pissing you off."

Concubine Zhuang sobbed softly, "It's you who made me angry." He hasn't been to her place once this month.

Emperor Yanzai couldn't help but smile, "Then don't come, I'll coax you."

Originally, Concubine Zhuang was still a little cautious, but this was the Queen's palace after all, she might be sitting with him, and she sat in front of Emperor Yanzai.

Take a moment.

"You have seen that Mrs. Jia came into the palace and said that the girl from the Lin family had made a lifelong promise to her son Baoyu..." Yanzai Emperor said leisurely.

Sure enough!

Concubine Zhuang grabbed her sleeves tightly, "What about the girl from the Xue family?"

Does she really want a girl from Jia's family?Emperor Yanzai narrowed his eyes slightly, and still said, "Mrs. Jia said that Miss Xue is not in good health. Since she wants to choose a concubine for Ying'er, she should choose a healthy one."

This is no excuse at all!

If the body is not good, how will the imperial doctor pass the test!Concubine Zhuang really couldn't figure it out, she just wanted to use the girl from Jia's family to sell well with the queen's faction, so as to make a way out.Why does the Jia family hide from her like the plague? What's wrong with her son!Why did the Jia family have the right to resist her?This is simply an insult to her!

"Your Majesty! You promised me! You clearly agreed." Concubine Zhuang looked at Emperor Yanzai with red eyes, unable to restrain her grief and indignation.

She didn't expect that the emperor would turn back on her, "Isn't it Jun Wu's joke? You are the emperor!"

Emperor Yanzai apologized slightly, because he is the emperor, so he can't interfere in these aspects. After all, he really doesn't care, but it may be a big issue for the whole clan to his subjects. Personal affection to hurt the loyalty of the courtiers.It is rare to buy a bone with a thousand pieces of gold, not to mention that the King of Chengjun has never met the daughters of Xue Lin's family at all. Under Mrs. Wang's begging, if he married one of Xue Lin to the King of Chengjun, I don't see that Ying'er will be nice to other girls. Ying'er's temper...maybe the in-laws will become enemies.

The Jia family is the capable ministers and officials he left for the prince. When the time comes to pinch it, it is still uncertain who will lose and who will win.

"The girls in Jia's family are not good, so there are good children from other families!" Emperor Yanzai thought, why not choose one with a good background, and choose two beautiful ones for Ying'er.

Concubine Zhuang stood up, "Your Majesty, why did you change your mind as soon as she came here! Could it be that you are treating that woman!" She clenched her lips, unable to speak.

"Presumptuous! Bold!" Emperor Yanzai laughed back angrily, "How could you have such a foolish idea!" He couldn't fail to understand that the woman Zhuang Concubine spoke of was Mrs. Wang, not the Queen.

Concubine Zhuang, who knelt down subconsciously, refused to bow her head and admit her mistake. She knelt straight, with tears streaming down her cheeks, "I know, Your Majesty, you are not a lustful person. A sage like you is busy with government affairs and handling the affairs of the world. Although your heart is broad, there is only a little bit left for us women!" She said about the emotional part, "I don't blame you, I respect you deeply, love you, you are mine God, my place. But you treat that woman so differently!" Out of a woman's intuition and jealousy, Concubine Zhuang felt that what she perceived was the truth!

"In the second year of Yanzai, the scholar Zhao Dong wrote a book of ten thousand words to praise you. The words are magnificent, the words are pearls, and he is sincere. But you, the emperor, didn't even finish reading it, so he threw away his book of ten thousand words. I went back and said that I would burn it to you when you sacrificed to heaven a hundred years later!" Concubine Zhuang said excitedly, "But what about her! How did she praise you! But what did you do to her! You let the empress give her the honor of being a first-class wife!"

She knelt down weakly, "Even the candidate for the crown prince, you have listened to her..."

"Full of nonsense!" Speaking of the crown prince, Emperor Yanzai had no choice but to interrupt Concubine Zhuang. After the initial sense of absurdity passed, he only thought it was ridiculous, but he really felt that the wife had no talent and the family was ruined.

He sighed deeply, "Concubine Zhuang, I don't want to entrust Ying'er to your upbringing."

His son should have been a good boy, but unfortunately, his mother taught him wrongly.He should have thought of it long ago, when Ying'er let his original spouse die in order to marry a concubine with a higher status than all his brothers...

He just didn't want to believe that the woman he doted on was so conceited and stupid.

As soon as Wang Guizhi came back, he was so excited that he went back to Jia Mu first, "It's good now, the two Yu'er are together, and the old lady and I will carefully choose a good marriage for her, baby girl."

"That's good, that's good." Seeing that there are more and more children and grandchildren, Jia's mother is happy and worried about them. The marriage of girls is their life!

Seeing Wang Guizhi standing by the door waiting for him to come back to tell him the good news, Jia Zheng simply picked her up and spun her around twice, like a child.

"Now are you satisfied?"

"Ruyi Ruyi, your majesty is so kind!" Wang Guizhi blushed with excitement, and she asked Jia Zheng again, "Help me choose some families, and let my brother find out their character..." Qiao Yanxue said Shanxi College has produced several young Jinshi. I wonder if Qu Yuan, who she thought about at the beginning, has achieved fame and wife?His appearance is really worthy of Miss Bao.

How is your majesty?

When did she see the emperor again?When Jia Zheng wanted to ask, she saw that she was not thinking about what the emperor had said, so he simply followed her wishes and mentioned the names of some better colleagues.

"Since Baoyu is set, what about Meiyu?" There is a girl in the family who has participated in the draft, and there are others who can go or not. In this case, it is better to book early.

Wang Guizhi felt that Meiyu was too early, "It will take four or five years for the two Yu'er to get married, and Meiyu is still early."

"..." Jia Zheng shook his head lightly, let him worry about it.

As soon as Baoyu heard the news from Li Gui, he immediately didn't know how to be happy, whether he was sitting or sleeping, and finally ran to Wang Guizhi to talk to his mother, but when he looked at his mother, his face was so red that he couldn't vomit. half a word.

"Stupid boy! You have to work hard, otherwise, how can sister Lin live a happy life with you?" Wang Guizhi knew that both Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu were intelligent and sensible people, and the building in the original book was about to collapse. The omen, both of them knew it very well, but they were powerless to change it.

"I know, I will..." Baoyu wanted to promise, but he didn't know how he could make Sister Lin live a good life.

"Your goal now is to first learn what everyone should know. Otherwise, how can Sister Lin talk to you? Then find out what you like to develop and research, like Jia Rong from Dongfu. Isn't he just one-hearted? Do you want to learn how to build a boat? Mom doesn’t care what you like to do, but you can’t just sit around and do nothing, don’t you agree?” Wang Guizhi was still thinking, if he and Sister Lin had a child, in case...

I have to quickly find some people with theories of psychology to come back, these parents can't collapse!

Sure enough, after seeing her mother, Baoyu went back to her room, spread the paper and grinded it, "What should I do?"

The author has something to say:

Originally, I wanted Baochai to match the prince, but after thinking about it, it would be a grievance to let Baochai be the side concubine, although she will become the imperial concubine in the future.

Although Qu Yuan's family is a businessman, but after he has obtained the honor, he is a Jinshi, and he also has an official position, so he can be matched with Miss Bao~

A small episode of the Patriarch of the Voice of Later Generations:

Looking at the spring scenery in the Yuancui Temple, Jia Zhensheng happily ate his regular meal (eight dishes and one soup).

From time to time, pleasant music came from the pear fragrance garden.

The general manager walked slowly down the mountain, sweating on his forehead. Many places in Rongguo Mansion have been reinforced and repaired without changing the original flavor. The gardeners and patriarchs of the past did not dare to change, so they had to climb up step by step.

It was easy to reach the top of the mountain, but the waiter stopped the manager.

"Urgent?"

"A bit."

"Then wait."

"Well, who told the patriarch to hide here?"

The manager stretched his long legs and sat on the steps. Among the lush green grass next to him, flowers were swaying, and the breeze was blowing. The tip of his nose was full of pure fragrance.

No wonder few of the Jia family who are used to living in Rongguo Mansion are willing to stay outside.

Seeing the manager, Jia Zhensheng silently slowed down his meal speed, but the meal always had to be finished.

He was served by the waiter, rinsed his mouth, and asked lazily with his chin on his hand, "What's the matter?"

"There are a few disobedient students in the family school." The manager said.

"Clean up according to the rules." Do you even need to ask him?

"The temper is too tough, and it made my husband upset, so I don't want to teach you anymore." The manager said calmly, now it's not like before, the husband is very gentle and patient, and the gentlemen now are also members of Jia's own family. If you do it, you don't want to teach anymore.

"Hey, you are so courageous." Jia Zhensheng said excitedly, "Send it to the meditation room of the Siguo Hall."

The manager nodded. This kind of punishment is very cruel and must be approved by the patriarch. "How many days?"

"Don't you have a bad temper and a hard bone? First come for 49 days!"

"The patriarch, one of them is a little younger, only 11 years old."

"What's wrong with being 11 years old? When our ancestors were 11 years old, they must be admitted to Tongsheng!" Jia Zhensheng was happy thinking of the pain they would have to go through in the future, "Well, give him nine days off."

"Got it, let's do it."

The manager took out the consent form and asked Jia Zhensheng to sign it, and left in a hurry.

The waiter saw that Jia Zhensheng's legs were dangling on the stool, "Is that so happy?"

"Because of the patriarch, I will let them know what regret is!"

Jia Zhensheng blinked, his thick eyelashes fluttering like a fluttering butterfly.
