The Legend of the Long Room in the Red Mansion

The Supreme Emperor was in the Daming Palace listening to the jokes about the emperor smashing the imperial study in anger. Hearing Ning Shan outside begging for an audience, he shouted in a good mood: "Let my good son-in-law come in quickly." Useful.Winning over Ning Shan is equivalent to holding the army of the half dynasty. In the future, he no longer has to worry about who plans to rebel and threaten his status as an old man.

Thinking of rebellion, the Supreme Emperor couldn't help but think of his second son, who had died a long time ago, and felt tired for a while.To be honest, if the fourth child who was sitting on the dragon chair was not jumping too much, he wouldn't bother to mention that traitor who dared to rebel.The whole nest is full of bastards, but one is dead and the other is still alive, and they bothered his old man, so they taught him some lessons.

As a person known for his indifference, the Supreme Emperor didn't pay much attention to his sons and courtiers. The left and right were just pawns, some of which were useful and some were useless.If the fourth child hadn't dared to fight for power while he was still alive, he wouldn't have confronted his son who had promoted him to the point of being irreconcilable.After all, the Supreme Emperor is old and can control the power in a stable manner. Who would want to make troubles again?It's just that he can't tolerate the new emperor's delusional desire to monopolize power while he is still alive.

Ning Shan entered the palace, greeted Ann according to the rules, and before calling out, she began to state the reason for entering the palace.The Supreme Emperor listened in a daze for a long time before he realized that there was such an embarrassing girl in the royal family who died outside.Immediately, I felt extremely unlucky, and in my heart I scolded my second son even more for being incompetent and useless, even if he couldn't manage the family, he wanted to rule the country, what a bastard!

Just as Ning Shan expected, the Supreme Emperor didn't care about Qin Shi at all, he didn't care whether she was dead or alive, how she lived when she was alive, and how she died when she died.However, as Ning Shan suggested, this matter can be made public in a small range, with the purpose of getting on top of the emperor, giving him a big hat of being cold-blooded and ruthless while his niece and daughter were murdered, and tarnishing his reputation.After all, he would confer the title of Jia Yuanchun because her natal family killed Prince Yizhong's flesh and blood, which made the emperor feel at ease, so he rewarded him with a high position as soon as he was happy.

The Supreme Emperor wants to pursue the title of Prince Yuan Yizhong in an upright manner without being stabbed in the back by those old-fashioned old scholars. The best way is to ruin the reputation of the new emperor even worse than the rebellious Prince Yizhong. Therefore, for He is willing to accept any suggestion that can drag the new queen's legs.

After Ning Shan made up her mind, she dismissed the scapegoat from her silly father in a low-key manner.This kind of thing is not suitable for publicity, it is more suitable for him to hide his achievements and fame.While Ning Shan was thinking secretly, she decided to go home and use her secret information to investigate carefully. How many immoral things that woman Jia Wang did while she was holding the seal of her stupid father, all of them were put on Jia Zheng's head. To save the idiotic father from worrying about it all the time, and also to save that one day, some political opponents like the king of Beijing will use these things to denounce the idiotic father, so they don't have to add trouble to him.

Here, Ning Shan is intensively investigating the crimes committed by Jia Wang's family. Over there, the Supreme Emperor also received his cronies and many clans non-stop, portraying Qin's death as the new emperor, Prince Lian Yizhong. His illegitimate daughter couldn't bear it, so he instructed his concubine to cooperate with her natal family to kill her secretly.By the way, he also intimidated the king of Yizhong County, saying that the reason why he is still alive is his own fearless protection, so that the king of Yizhong County tearfully stated that once he can rise to the throne in the future, he will definitely worship the emperor's grandfather as a god and never Will be as rebellious as the one on the dragon chair now.

With the cooperation of the clan, it became much easier to pursue Prince Yizhong.In the final analysis, no matter how rebellious they were, it is also a problem of the royal family, which can be solved behind closed doors, and the courtiers are too lazy to participate.Ever since the Supreme Emperor accuses Sang and scolded Huai and confessed the new emperor's "ruthlessness" to all the clan, the clan no longer opposes the pursuit of Prince Yizhong.After all, he is just a dead person, even if he is chased, it doesn't matter to the overall situation. As for helping the current King of Yizhong County to take the throne, there is still the Supreme Emperor standing in front of him, isn't he!

Therefore, the Taishanghuang announced in court that he would chase after the deceased eldest son and second son. The eldest son was named Prince Fenwu, and the second son, Prince Yizhong, was posthumously crowned as Crown Prince Longhui. The Taishanghuang wanted to continue to pursue the title The title of an emperor was stopped by a few censors who were loyal to the new emperor, saying that there was no precedent for a father chasing a son.In other words, if you want to give Prince Yizhong a title of mourning emperor, mourning emperor, etc., you have to wait for Yizhong County King to come to power.

The Taishanghuang made a fuss twice, so he gave up, but he ordered the whole country to mourn for the crown prince Longhui. After all, he was buried hastily as a rebel when he died, and even the title of Prince Yizhong was not It was added later for the sake of face, so the funeral and so on are also very simple.In order to embarrass the new emperor, the Taishanghuang came up with the bad idea of ​​mourning later, and forced the fourth son who had already ascended the throne to mourn his second brother.

Ning Shan didn't give this idea to the Supreme Emperor, but she was very satisfied with the benefits brought by the bad idea that the Supreme Emperor himself came up with - because of mourning, civil and military officials were not allowed to marry or mourn for a year, and even the palace's talent show was suspended. One term, the next one will either have to wait until three years later, or there will be a temporary extra election after the emperor's filial piety, which will be a year later.Anyway, in the middle of this year, there is no need to worry about that old and unrefined emperor coveting his capable good girl.

Ning Shan walked briskly back home, called Yingchun, and said in a good mood: "You will probably find out in a few days, but I'd like to tell you first that the draft for this season will be suspended. Stay at home in peace."

Yingchun was also very happy, she was also afraid of the draft, she was afraid that she would be selected into the palace, if the big brother really had some ideas at that time, wouldn't she be in the way?Now that I heard that it was going to be discontinued, I was naturally very happy.

Grabbing her braid, Yingchun happily asked, "But what did big brother do?"

Ning Shan smiled and said: "It's just a small idea. I didn't expect such a result, but it's better than I expected. In short, you little girls can rest assured."

Yingchun smiled and said: "With big brother here, we are all at ease." This is not an exaggeration, the whole family knows that, but anything that Ning Shan is willing to stand out for, there is nothing that cannot be done.It's not unreasonable to worship blindly, at least so far, no one has been satisfied with what she has done right with Ning Shan, from the emperor's royal family to the relatives of officials.

After not worrying about her own affairs, Yingchun was in the mood to continue with the housework and take care of her elder sister-in-law, Princess Yinghua.On this day, Yingchun and Daiyu were calculating the accounts in the middle of the month together in the house, when Daiyu suddenly heard her muttering: "The princess has a good appetite recently, and there are many more accounts in the kitchen purchase report, all of which are For the princess."

Yingchun poked her head over to take a look, and it was true that Princess Yinghua's account in the small kitchen had almost doubled, so she couldn't help but wondered: "It's winter now, and it's normal to eat more, but it's fast. It’s a little surprising how much it doubles. But my sister-in-law is very slim, so I’m not afraid of eating more.” To say she’s slender is being polite, and Princess Yinghua was often deducted from her status in the palace. It's not much better to say that the wind blows.

Daiyu was still worried: "It's not necessarily a good thing for a person who eats less than usual to suddenly increase his appetite. May we ask the imperial doctor to take a look?" She herself has always eaten cat food, so she understood that suddenly It is very dangerous to say that the appetite may cause spleen and stomach discomfort.

After Yingchun heard this, she hurriedly got up and walked out, saying: "I'll go next door to get the post now." The things are still in the same place, and you have to go to get them every time you need them.

Fortunately, the small gates of the two prefectures have been built, and it is very convenient to go there.It's just that most of the people left over there were palace maids who were brought out from the palace when the princess got married, and who saw Yingchun coming and going in a hurry, and they all said some harsh sarcastic remarks.Thanks to Yingchun's generous nature and not caring about other people's gossip, if it were Daiyu, these gossips alone would be enough to make her feel idle.

Yingchun took back the princess' name card and was about to send someone to the imperial hospital when news came that Ning Shan and Jia She had returned home.Yingchun pondered for a while, stopped Si Qi, and said: "Don't rush to see her off, walk forward with me for a while, and listen to what Big Brother means."

Naturally, Si Qi obeyed all of them, so the master and servant took the posts and account books and went lightly.Because it might involve the princess's physical discomfort, Yingchun thought it was not suitable for publicity, so the two of them picked up the path and walked quietly.Daiyu still stayed in the house to settle the accounts, while checking whether there were other changes in the princess' expenses.

When they arrived at the front yard, Yingchun went directly to the study to ask to see Ning Shan, and after getting a reply, she left Si Qi to guard the door, and went into the house with her own money, and said after asking An to salute: "I went back and forth specially to Big Brother, thinking that the princess's sister-in-law's peace pulse has not yet been invited this month." , taking advantage of the free time at home, I wondered if I had asked for Ping An pulse a few days in advance, so that everyone can feel at ease, I don't know what big brother means."

Ning Shan was slightly taken aback, and asked, "But what's wrong with her?"

Yingchun hurriedly said: "No, it's just my little knowledge."

Ning Shan said: "If it's not because of some discomfort, it's better not to ask the imperial doctor for a while, they are also in a hurry, even if they hand over my post, they may not be able to invite a good one, it's better to pass some days talk later."

Yingchun asked curiously: "Why are the imperial doctors so busy? But is there any important noble in the palace who is not feeling well?"

Ning Shan nodded, and said: "It's okay to tell you. A few days ago, you must have heard about the fact that a crown prince was pursued by the court."

Yingchun nodded, people like them are well-informed, not to mention that Lian's second sister-in-law also came to the house when the Crown Prince Longhui was crowned, and specifically said about it, so the girls are also Informed.

Ning Shan continued: "The crown prince has only one child left now, and he was named the king of Yizhong County. He was taken into the palace by the Supreme Emperor a few days ago, saying that he wanted to make up for him and take care of him. Now, that body Unwell, it was announced that the whole Tai Hospital took turns to take care of this Yizhong County King. And it was the order of the Taishang himself, so I said, if you don't have any serious symptoms these days, don't bother. Your little sister, Mrs. Lin, also stopped checking the pulse for the time being, is the left and right prescription still available? Let’s continue to eat, and wait until the palace is over.”

Yingchun hurriedly said: "I've made a note, and I'll tell Daiyu when I get back. In addition, the princess's sister-in-law also asks the big brother to pay attention, and if there is anything, please let me know in time."

Ning Shan recalled this incident, and asked curiously: "You said you wanted to ask for a pulse early, but you feel uncomfortable?"

Yingchun smiled and said: "It's just that the princess's sister-in-law has a very good appetite these days, so she thought that the weather has changed, so she thought about asking the imperial doctor to prescribe some prescriptions."

Ning Shan frowned, and suddenly thought of a possibility, and after calculating the time, it was not impossible, she immediately said: "In this case, take my post and send someone to invite the imperial doctor who is not on duty today to come and have a look. "

After hearing this, Yingchun stepped forward to flip through the piles of posts on the table, took out one, and wrote a few hastily with pen and ink, and then showed Ning Shan, then rolled up her sleeves, and went out to give orders on her own.

Seeing that Yingchun was going far away, Ning Shan hurried out of the study and took a small path to her yard.On the way, I ordered people to find Granny Ping, and asked her to go and have a look first.Ning Shan felt a faint joy in his heart, he felt that his intuition should be correct, all the signs of Princess Yinghua in the past few months seemed to indicate that she might be happy.

He had thought about inviting some experienced women to take care of Yinghua's house before, but he was busy with the affairs of the court, couldn't leave him for a while, and didn't dare to entrust others to do it, so he shelved.On the other hand, the little girl was careful, even noticed that Yinghua ate a few extra bites, and just in time reminded him.

Grandma Ping, the daughter-in-law of the housekeeper Song Ping's family, came here very quickly. She had planned to report to the uncle about the possible reasons why the grandma came in with a big appetite. After hearing that the uncle had noticed it, he ordered her to ask. Immediately Excited with joy, regardless of his age, he quickly ran into the garden.She hugged Ning Shan who had just walked to the gate of her yard. When Ning Shan saw her, she didn't ask to greet her, and said directly: "Mother-in-law, I want you to ask..."

Granny Ping happily interrupted: "I already know about it, so let's talk to Nanny Hua. I think she must be paying attention to her all the time. It's just that we didn't dare to bother with the turmoil in Chaoshang a few days ago." Lord, in fact, I have passed my anger a few times in private, I am afraid it is eight|nine inseparable. I can congratulate my father!"

Unexpectedly, Ning Shan on the opposite side frowned, and blurted out: "This is not good, the timing is wrong."

Granny Ping was taken aback, and hurriedly asked: "What's wrong? But what will hinder you?"

At this time, Ning Shan had come to her senses, smiled comfortingly, and said, "If you really have a child, can you still have it? Mother-in-law, you don't care about the blood of the Ning family?"

Granny Ping said frankly: "Of course I want to, but I don't want to hinder my master because of it. Even though I am a little master, I can't compare to a master after all."

Ning Shan smiled and said: "Don't worry, mother-in-law, with my ability, can't I still protect my wife and children well?"

Granny Ping heard this, and said very simply: "Since the master said so, I will go all out, no matter what, I will protect the princess and the little master. No matter what the master wants to do, just do it freely. There is an old man, an old lady, and a young lady at home, and they will guard the rear for you."

Ning Shan said: "Forget about the two old masters, I just hope they don't cause trouble, but mother-in-law and grandpa Song need to worry more. Although Ying'er is sensible, but after all, she is young and has little experience, so she must ask her mother-in-law to give her advice. .”

Granny Ping said with a smile: "Missy is a good child, and there is a reliable old sister like Yue Momo to help me, so I just need to rest assured. Then the old man will go into the house to ask Hua Momo, and I might as well go directly to Princess Master. Go inside the house, regardless of whether you are pregnant or not, young couples get along well, and you can't go wrong. The master was busy with his affairs a few days ago, and he didn't neglect the princess and his master. It's not happy to have some free time at this time Let's go for a sweet kiss." Granny Ping helped the old Mrs. Hou raise Ning Shan, and Ning Shan's words with him are also very cordial, treating her as an elder, not a servant.Therefore, Granny Ping spoke very directly.

Ning Shan lightly pushed Granny Ping on the shoulder, signaling her not to teach him any more, but to go into the house and talk to Nanny Hua, while she walked towards the main room where Princess Yinghua was.

After entering the room, it was as expected that Princess Yinghua was eating again. The table was full of large dishes and small bowls. Although each item was very delicate and the portion was not large, the combination was astonishing.Ning Shan thought to herself, she felt that after a day of fighting on the battlefield, she probably could eat so much, and she believed more and more that Princess Yinghua was really pregnant.If it wasn't for one person eating and two people consuming, how could such a slender figure eat so much.

However, thinking of the rising undercurrent, Ning Shan suddenly lost her good mood.In any case, he must not let his wife and children be involved in the struggle between the Supreme Emperor and the new emperor.
