The Legend of the Long Room in the Red Mansion

No matter which dynasty or generation, when the new emperor ascends the throne, as usual, he will amnesty the world.

This is not a problem, but the specific pardons need to be discussed.

The first to be put on the agenda was the family of the last emperor of Xing Dynasty.

There is no need to think about the abolition of the emperor. Killing his father is a serious crime in any era. His best way out is to wait for the former emperor to stop breathing completely and follow him to guard the imperial tomb.His two brothers and seven or eight sons are also a community of destiny, which is not negotiable.What is worth considering is the string of sons of the two former princes. At present, the courtiers are making a difficult choice between guarding the tomb together and being demoted to the common people to be expelled from the capital. Originally, Ning Shan thought that they did not pose a threat at all, so just let them go. But the ministers insisted on cleaning it up, so he couldn't say anything more.

As for the harem, according to the old rules, they should not be admitted to Ye Ting as a low-level court lady.However, Ning Shan meant to let them all out. The reason was that those former concubines, concubines, and princesses and princesses could not carry their shoulders. There is no benefit to raising them except wasting food, so it is better to let them go back to their respective homes.As for the harem, the ministers don't want to interfere too much, but they don't want to just let it go. After all, they are all the "remnants" of the previous dynasty. Who knows if they will cause trouble when they return to the people?Then a minister submitted a note, hoping that the top leader of the harem would make a reasonable arrangement.

Ning Shan recalled her harem, spread her hands together and said, "Ai Qing's suggestion is certainly reasonable, but no one can do it right now."

All the courtiers recalled it together, and sadly found that this was indeed a big problem.

The three generations of young and old who are qualified to be in charge of the harem are all vacant.

The empress dowager has passed away for many years, and now she is rushing to rebuild the imperial mausoleum;

The queen-to-be, the former Princess Yinghua is in confinement, and there are many stubborn and conservative ministers who don't want her to become a queen. For the image of Mingjun, Ning Shan has to work hard with them;

There is nothing in the harem, not to mention the noble concubine who is in charge of palace affairs, and even the female officer is Xue Baochai, a polished commander;

The eldest princess has not yet been canonized, and according to regulations, she must wait for the Supreme Emperor to take the throne first.Moreover, she is too busy, she just finished cleaning the palace, and immediately started running back and forth between the palace of the Huguo Duke, between the princess mansion and the palace next door, directing the relocation, and is currently working hard to help the elder brother resettle the new house, completely Not in the mood to "not do business properly";

Daiyu is in the ambiguity of "unidentified concubine", so it is unavoidable to misunderstand, and she easily refuses to meet people. The so-called low-key to the limit is high-key, and now her identity can be called the first secret of the Dugu Dynasty. Even Jia She has not missed it. Mrs. Xing pondered whether this girl will be the princess or the imperial concubine in the future;

Xichun is too young to do housework, let alone palace work.And since she entered the palace, no one played with her anymore, she was making trouble, but it was Xue Baochai who was smart enough to contribute to her cousin Xue Baoqin, it would be better to chat and laugh with Xichun.

Tanchun and Xiangyun had a chance to become the courtiers, but Yuanchun was too ignorant. Ever since Ningshan ascended the throne, this air was higher than that of the deposed queen, and she kept clamoring to meet Ningshan.Others let her know the details, but Baochai was not polite, and ordered people to guard the cold palace tightly, and no one was allowed to come out. He also imprisoned Tanchun and Xiangyun together, but hinted that the reason why they would be like this The cold treatment was all caused by Yuanchun, and now the two are fighting against Jia Yuanchun every day, hoping to please the new emperor's family.

There is a housekeeper on Jia Lian's side that can be used, but since Jia Lian's identity is still unclear, Sister Feng, who was just brought back from the outside, was not even allowed to enter the palace, so she was taken by Ning Shan together with Jia Lian. I randomly stuffed it into a princess mansion that was vacated by someone who didn't know.I also know that the Ronghou Mansion cannot be touched, and there is a family of rascals who have just been down and out living in the Grand View Garden next door. If they are glued to them at this time, Jia Lian's family will not be able to live the rest of their lives.As for Duke Huguo's Mansion, it has become a hidden residence in the Land of Dragon Soaring, and no one is qualified to live there.

After going back to the harem after the pilgrimage, it is natural to go to see Princess Yinghua first. She has a dignified manner, even if she hears that someone disapproves of her being a queen, she will not have any major emotional ups and downs. It is only natural that Ning Shan wants to show tenderness to her beautiful wife The guarantee, so that she can rest with peace of mind.It's not that Princess Yinghua is ignorant. Besides, even if she doesn't know anything about the court, there is still Huamao beside her who keeps explaining to her how much effort Ning Shan has to put in to protect her. A big fat son who coaxed him to sleep and woke up and started whining and begging for attention, filled half of the imperial city with pink bubbles so warmly.

After leaving Fengyi Palace, she strolled to Yuqing Palace. There was no one in the main hall. Yingchun was still busy in Qianqing Palace. I had no choice but to tidy up pickily—Her Royal Highness, who is expected to be crowned next month, is full of energy. She has already replaced everything that can move, and is now instructing the little eunuchs to try to wipe the floor tiles thinner. , and plan to repaint it later.

Daiyu lives in the side hall on the left side, but now this girl has the bad habit of thinking too much, she is resolute in refusing to meet Ning Shan, and can only talk through the window - this is not because she is so arrogant and thinks that Even Ning Shan is not good enough for her, she is simply fearful of people's words, afraid that Princess Yinghua will be suspicious.Seeing that the girl was so self-respecting and self-loving, Ning Shan was also willing to respect her. After a brief discussion of Yingchun's whereabouts through the window, they politely said goodbye to each other and waved goodbye.

Xichun lived in the side hall on the right, and she didn't know where she went at this time. After being accompanied by Xue Baoqin, Xichun became interested in wandering around and painting again. Anyway, there is no forbidden area in this palace now, and she can wander around as she pleases. So far, she has never thought of her own father in the Taoist temple outside the city and her brother who fled the vanguard. In the poor East Mansion, You's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are still counting on their sister-in-law to think of them, so that they can taste the taste of chickens and dogs ascending to heaven.

Ning Shan, who couldn't find help in Yuqing Palace, had to go to Jia She again. Although this stupid father is getting more and more stupid, he can still discuss it.

Jia Amnesty was sitting cross-legged on the dragon chair, being served by Qiu Shi'an attentively, enjoying the lychees sent to Beijing by Lingnan officials.Since ancient times, this kind of "King of Fruits" has been exclusively enjoyed by the beauties of the country. It is beautiful in color, aroma and taste. It was originally prepared by the Lingnan side to please the new queen's palace. There is always a smile on the face, and the overlord with all the creases flattened.

Seeing Ning Shan, the heartless and silly father waved happily: "Shan'er, come and eat lychees."

Ning Shan took two steps forward, patted the lychee away from Jia Amnesty's hand, and said solemnly: "Don't eat it, I have something to discuss with you." Then, without waiting for Jia Amnesty's reply, she poured out all the harem policies proposed by the court out.

Jia She blinked his innocent eyes and listened for a long time before he finally understood, and said innocently: "Father understands it, but it can't help you. Why don't you draft." He doesn't like to take a bite What the "widow" said, besides, he felt that his children with both children and children were completely different from his predecessor's kind of lonely old man who was separated from everyone, and he was proud of it.

Ning Shan sat down, took Qiu Shian's peeled lychees and ate them carelessly, and said, "What kind of show is being selected? Raise a group of people who eat nothing? Besides, can the concubine replace the queen?"

Ning Shan hasn't thought too far ahead about the future, but for now, he is very satisfied with Yinghua. The relationship between the couple is harmonious, and they just had a son, which is heating up.As for Yinghua's inability to take care of the family, it doesn't seem like a big problem. Anyway, the housework is shared by a capable younger sister, and Yingchun is not very old, so she can still share it for a few more years.If you teach Yinghua well in the past few years, maybe you can let her learn to be independent, but it's okay if you can't. When Yingchun reaches the age of marriage and Xichun just grows up, it's not bad to let her take over.As for Yinghua, if she really can't learn how to do it, she should go to have children, give birth to a few clever daughters, and recruit a group of fine nuns to raise them well. When Xichun is about to get married, it's time for the little princess to practice.

Jia She scratched his head and said, "Then let Yingchun girl take care of it."

Ning Shan sighed, spat out the lychee core, and said helplessly: "This girl is so focused on cleaning up the Qianqing Palace, she says she is too busy to take care of other things. Besides, her auspicious day is still far away, and with such a long time in between, You can't just let it go, those people in the cold palace who cry and howl all day long are about to turn upside down." Yingchun is a good candidate, but she is always soft-hearted, and Ning Shan is afraid of the disobedient crying in the cold palace. She won't be able to hold back the tears.

Jia Amnesty devoted himself to solving the eldest son's worries and problems: "What about Lian'er's family? That woman likes to seize power the most, she is cruel and black, and she is just right for dealing with women."

Ning Shan hesitated and said: "But her name is not right, I don't even think about how to arrange Lian'er."

Jia Amnesty persisted: "How about your wife...I mean, where is that Xing woman?"

Ning Shan rolled his eyes at him and said, "You are now the Ning Jia family, do you still plan to change her name to the Ning Jia Xing family?" Speaking of which, Mrs. Xing is also worthy of a headache. It stands to reason that the son-in-law of the people is not qualified to accept For the young ones, there are at most two couples. Even if his wife dies, he cannot remarry.But Jia Amnesty's situation is too special. It would be unfair to Mrs. Xing if it is simply counted as the son-in-law. In any case, she is the second wife of the eight-carried sedan chair Mingmei, and she has worked hard to serve Jia Amnesty these years. There is no credit but hard work. , Just such a sentence has become a concubine, which is unreasonable both emotionally and rationally.

Jia Amnesty was completely at a loss, and complained angrily, "This will not work, and that will not work, just send it to the imperial mausoleum."

Ning Shan said: "It's not impossible, but I can't give an order. I haven't even issued an edict from my own harem, so I can't control the previous court."

Jia She asked: "How long will your wife be in confinement?"

Ning Shan replied: "She can't take care of this matter after sitting down. Those people are said to be related to her. If she comes forward to deal with it, it will inevitably be reviled."

Jia She spread his hands together: "Then I have nothing to do."

Ning Shan hesitated for a while, and tentatively said: "Actually, I have a way, but I don't know if you will help?"

Jia Amnesty asked curiously, "Is there anything else I can do? Let's hear it."

Ning Shan said: "Actually, it's quite easy, just merge them together."

Jia Shefei explained, "What do you mean by 'merge together'?"

Ning Shan took another lychee, bit it slowly, and said vaguely: "It's because you are troubled, so you should also do the work of the empress dowager."

Jia Amnesty jumped up and shouted: "You really let me sit down with this 'Ning Jiashi'!"
