every spring [comprehensive]

Only then did Mrs. Xue realize that Mrs. Wang is here to propose marriage to her Baoyu!If it were not for what Baochai had told her, Mrs. Xue still felt that Baoyu was indeed a good match.

"This... Elder sister also knows that our Baochai is no better than other girls. She is very assertive. I can't bypass her and directly make decisions about marriage, but I have to discuss it with her."

Mrs. Wang smiled confidently: "I didn't praise Baoyu that child. Although he hasn't established a family and got a good reputation in the exam, he is always at a disadvantage when it comes to pleasing girls. The two of them get along well on weekdays." Excellent, Baochai has absolutely no disagreement. Marriage is a matter of parents' orders and matchmaker's words. Sister, you can decide for them, and Baochai will definitely not be unhappy when she finds out."

Mrs. Xue said: "Baochai is not at home today and has gone to Prince Yi Fujin again. Why don't we give my sister an answer after she comes back and we discuss it."

Mrs. Wang finally realized that Mrs. Xue's attitude didn't seem to be as flattered as she thought, and she smiled back: "Sister, we are sisters in the same mother's womb, and the family doesn't speak two languages. Do you have any questions about this marriage?" What are you dissatisfied with?"

Mrs. Wang's precious jade is really pampered like a treasure. Even if she started to watch him read recently, whenever he said that he was tired or had a headache, Mrs. Wang was reluctant to restrain him too much and could only let him go After playing, in her opinion, Baoyu should not be bad at all in the eyes of others. "Which aspect are you dissatisfied with? Is it because of your family background? Or because of your appearance and character?"

Mrs. Xue saw that Mrs. Wang insisted on getting to the bottom of it today, and she seemed to be eager to finalize the marriage between Baoyu and Baochai. She thought that even if Baochai came back, she would still refuse her the same way. Baochai is not easy to do in front of her aunt.

Mrs. Xue said: "Sister, to tell you the truth, I never thought of marrying Baoyu and Baochai. Baochai is my daughter, and I only think of Baoyu as my own son. The two siblings have completely different temperaments, and they are not good friends." It’s better for us not to force them together.”

Mrs. Wang was extremely shocked: "What? You..."

Mrs. Xue said: "Baoyu's child is naturally excellent, but they are not suitable for each other. Sister, don't worry too much."

Mrs. Wang never dreamed that the Xue family would refuse to marry the Jia family. She always thought that her hints were not obvious enough, so she, a somewhat left-behind silly sister, never understood. As long as she said it clearly, the whole Xue family I will definitely agree.

Mrs. Wang was rejected face to face, and she couldn't hold back her face. She didn't say a few more words, and left in a hurry.

Mrs. Xue knew that she had offended this elder sister who took care of her a lot from now on, and she felt a little uneasy about her conscience.But her children's marriage is a major event, and she can't help but be a favor.It doesn't matter if you offended Mrs. Wang this time, if you find something to do next time, just make up for it.

Mrs. Wang was sitting in the sedan chair going back, her face was flushed with anger, if she didn't leave, she would lose her composure!I thought it was a sure thing, but I didn't expect it to hit a snag.The mother and son moved to the capital with a total of twenty servants. Anyone who looked at them thought that their family had fallen, but Mrs. Wang was a fine person, and some of them could not be hidden from her. Baochai settled in the capital alone. Many properties, how could their family decline, the Xue family is still very rich, although it is not very revealing, if the Jia family and the Xue family are married, most of the wealth is earned by Baochai, so there is no reason not to accompany them .

Mrs. Wang has already made the calculations. As soon as Mrs. Xue agrees, she will set a date for them early. After Baochai passes through the door, she will be the housekeeper. The financial crisis can be resolved.The housekeeper is still my own daughter-in-law, Madam Wang's status will not be shaken at all, and because of the arrival of newcomers and the injection of new funds, the glorious era of Jia's family will be reproduced. At that time, the old lady will have authority again. It is also necessary to succumb to the reality, Mrs. Wang is the highest authority in the Jia family.

Mrs. Wang has discussed these matters with Jia Yuanchun. After Mrs. Xue has made it clear here, they don't have to say it clearly, they don't need to mention the marriage, or pretend not to know, and wait for Yuanchun in the palace to issue an order to marry , and the scenery, the old lady can't say anything!Even if the old lady disagrees, the empress has personally decreed that no matter how old she is as a grandmother, she can't be older than the empress.

But now even Mrs. Xue's work is not done, she can't help but feel a little annoyed, why did she leave in a moment of anger!She always knew that her second sister was a soft-hearted person, if she tortured her for a while, she might let go.

Why did Baochai and Baoyu have different personalities? That girl Baochai always ran outside, which is not what a young lady should do. Mrs. Wang didn't dislike her, she already gave the Xue family face enough.It's just that it's useless to think so much now, Mrs. Wang still has to think about how to explain to Yuan Chun.

After Xue Baochai arrived at the Kunning Palace, the Empress had someone clean up a room for her in the side hall, and provided her with two maids-in-waiting, and asked an old nanny to teach her the rules of the palace.

The people in Kunning Palace all wanted to circle around the queen, just like in Jia's mansion, everyone wanted to circle around old lady Jia.Whenever the queen was eating, Xue Baochai would follow the crowd to serve the queen, but Xue Baochai always stood by with her head bowed, never serving tea and vegetables to the queen like the few big palace ladies in front of the queen. There is nothing wrong with her doing so with a sense of presence in front of her. The queen only thought she was shy.

Facing these high-ranking people, Xue Baochai always refers to herself as the word "minister", she doesn't think there is anything wrong with it, and the old mother who taught her the rules always asks her to change it to the word "servant", saying: "Miss, do you think that the word "servant" is a loss of a girl's dignity? That's not the case! Our Manchurian royal family has always called it this way. Even the queen empress calls herself a slave in front of the queen mother, and the empress dowager also calls herself a slave in front of the emperor. The use of the word "servant" is not to harm you, but to elevate your status. This is a centuries-old tradition in Manchuria. The word "minnv" is not unacceptable. It's just that as soon as you say it, people will know that you are a woman from the Han family. In a palace with a strict hierarchy, the exit is inferior to others, and you will lose your place! Girl, listen to me once and change it!"

After Xue Baochai heard her big set of principles, she still refused to change after repeated teaching.

The old mother could only go to the queen to plead guilty, "Other rules, Miss Xue will learn them once, and there is no need to teach them a second time, but this name can never be changed."

The queen waved her hand and said: "Forget it, she is from the common people, unlike us girls who grew up in wealthy palaces who have so many constraints, I can see that she is not suitable to be a slave, this small election is over." Maybe the sign is her good fortune, the emperor specially ordered not to wrong her, and I didn't want to train her to be a slave."

All the people in the middle links who had contact with the Imperial Hospital and the Jiuhua Yulu Pill that participated in the production were all guarded at the same time. Suddenly there were so many people missing in the palace. Even the most stupid people knew that something big happened. .It's just that everyone related to this matter kept silent, otherwise they would have been sent to prison. In the harem, there were different speculations for a while.

Xue Baochai's role in it is that one is the prescription she presented, and the other is that she exposes the wrong ingredients in the medicine, so in fact she is also a key surveillance target, but the emperor and Prince Yi believed that she was not responsible for it, so they sent her to the queen in the palace.

The queen wanted to be loyal to her duties, since the moment Xue Baochai was sent to her palace, Xue's residence was also under surveillance.Therefore, Madam Wang's conversation with Madam Xue in Xue's mansion was no longer a secret, and was reported to the queen verbatim.

The queen couldn't help being amused when she heard this, she called Xue Baochai and said, "Originally, I cast eyeliner in Xue's mansion to investigate the case of Jiuhua Yulu Wan, not because I don't trust you, even the emperor trusts you. Be cautious, this will prove your innocence better after checking."

Xue Baochai said hastily: "It's all up to your mother to decide."

The queen said: "I didn't expect that something else would be involved. Concubine Jia put up the sign for you privately. Do you want to know why?"

Hearing what the queen said, Xue Baochai already had guesses in his mind, but he was only in a hurry when he was visiting relatives. How could Concubine Jia remember her as a small person, it must be Mrs. Wang who has tampered with it for her own selfishness.

But Baochai didn't show it, but said with a confused face: "I also ask the empress to enlighten me."

After telling her the whole story, the queen said: "The emperor asked about this matter, so I have to report it to the emperor and ask the emperor to decide. But the emperor is investigating the case of Yulu. If it is at this time, it is not a big deal. Concubine Jia may be implicated by the emperor's anger. The crime of privately deciding whether to draft a woman can be big or small. I want to ask you, do you blame Concubine Jia for wanting her younger brother to marry you, which caused you to lose the selection ?”

Xue Baochai turned the Queen's words in his heart, and said: "If you go back to the empress, although the failure of the people's daughter is human-made, it is also due to fate. The people's daughter does not blame the empress Jia, but to thank her. Compared with the bustling court, we I still yearn for a less restrictive life outside the palace.”

The queen said: "Since that is the case, it is time for this eventful autumn. It is better to have one more thing than one less thing in the harem. I will press this matter first and wait for a while before raising it to the emperor."

Xue Baochai said: "The Queen's mother is respectful to the world, and she has a kind heart, so I will thank my mother for her kindness on behalf of Concubine Jia!"

The queen said: "Although I can suppress the mistakes she made first, Concubine Jia did violate the palace rules for her own personal gain, so she had to beat her as a warning."

Xue Baochai hasn't settled the account with Jia Yuanchun for secretly putting up the sign, so she can only record this matter first.The queen said she wanted to beat her, so naturally Baochai would not plead for mercy.

In the afternoon of the second day, the queen said: "You came to the palace once, don't just stay bored in the Kunning Palace, go to the Imperial Garden with me." So Xue Baochai drove to the Imperial Garden.

The Imperial Garden is located behind the Kunning Palace. It used to be the back garden of the palace, and it was renamed the Imperial Garden during Yongzheng.The green pines, cypresses and bamboos in the garden are dotted with rocks, forming an evergreen garden landscape all year round.The queen said that taking Baochai to visit the Imperial Garden, she really went to all the scenic spots, and finally she had to climb Duixiu Mountain.

It was rare for the empress to be interested today, but those maids and maids who were pampered and pampered in the palace could not take a few steps, they were already out of breath after walking such a long distance, and could barely keep up with the empress's steps.Baochai had no choice but to walk to her side and help her, otherwise the garden would be full of strange stone and jade seats, bronze statues of golden lins, and potted flowers.

The queen smiled at Baochai, held her hand, and continued to go upwards. This pile of beautiful mountains and stacked stones is unique, with winding roads, all the way up to the Yujing Pavilion. Looking down, you can see the stone dragon spraying water. Because of its high terrain, looking around, you can also have a panoramic view of the entire imperial garden.

The maids all brought tea sets and refreshments, and when they saw the queen and Baochai sitting down, they offered them one after another. The queen drank a cup of tea and said, "This is the place where we climb up on the Double Ninth Festival every year. If I didn't bring you today, I would I can’t climb it either, the main reason is to show you the panoramic view of the imperial garden.” Xue Baochai could only say, “Thank you for your kindness.”

Baochai saw a group of people in the distance, and the two women in palace costumes in front came from the Xuexuan side, walked to the foot of Duixiu Mountain, and had to stop when they saw the people in the empress's palace. The emperor himself is here, and everyone else needs to come up to pay their respects.

Looking up at the foot of the mountain, they could see that there was not only the queen, but also another young woman in the court. There had been rumors in the palace that the empress had picked up a girl to live in the Kunning Palace. They only heard about it two days ago. The queen is preparing a list for next year's draft, and she just picked someone up to live here, so people have to guess whether the person she picked up is the queen's favorite, but who is this mysterious woman in the legend, and who is she referring to? Yes, that is unknown.They stayed behind closed doors in Kunning Palace all day long, making it impossible for others to get a glimpse of it.

Now knowing that that person is in the Yujing Pavilion with the queen, it is a good opportunity.Concubine Zhou Gui said to Concubine Xiande: "Sister, the empress is a virtuous and virtuous lady, she covers the Six Palaces, the girl she likes must not be a simple person, don't you want to find out?"

Although Concubine Zhou spoke politely to Concubine Jia, she was actually angry when she thought of her title. Everyone else had one word, only her title had two words, virtuous!Who can be called a virtuous person, but the empress is a virtuous person. She is a concubine, how dare she be called a virtuous person!

Concubine Jia said: "Elder sister also wants to find out, let's go visit the empress together."

So the two ladies who lived in the deep palace and had never climbed mountains before had to spend a lot of effort to climb up this pile of beautiful mountains.

Seeing the two empresses coming again, Baochai could no longer sit with the queen, so she had to stand up and stand behind the queen.

The queen raised her hand and said to Zhou and Jia: "You two sisters don't need to be too polite." Then she said to Xue Baochai: "These are concubine Zhou Gui and concubine Jia Xiande, who were personally appointed by the emperor."

Xue Baochai did as he said.When Jia Yuanchun stood still, his legs were still a little soft after climbing the mountain, and he found that the woman who caused speculation in the harem turned out to be Xue Baochai!Can't help but say: "Why are you here?"

Xue Baochai gave a slight salute to Concubine Jia, and then retreated to the Queen's side.The queen said softly: "What? Concubine Xiande knows her? She was specially summoned by this palace."

As soon as Concubine Jia heard this, she dared not make mistakes, and replied: "As for the empress, Baochai is the daughter of my aunt's family. How could the slaves not recognize her? It's just that she didn't expect to be in the palace for a while, especially the empress. I saw her by my side, so I lost my composure for a while, please don't take offense, Madam."

Concubine Zhou looked around, thinking about it, and felt that today's situation seemed a little strange.But obviously it has nothing to do with her. It is impossible for the empress to take Jia Fei's cousin and make her concubine Zhou ugly, so she just needs to wait and see what happens, or fan the flames.

The queen asked Baochai, "So, have you met our virtuous concubine?"

Baochai said: "I met once when Empress Jia was visiting her relatives. It was just a hasty farewell, and I couldn't fully appreciate the demeanor of Empress Jia."

The queen said: "So, as aunts and sisters, you have only met once. This fate is really pitiful."

Xue Baochai felt the same in her heart, especially since she knew that Jia Yuanchun was going to die soon, and there would not be many encounters between the two sides, so she said, "It's just like what your mother said."

The queen said: "Speaking of visiting relatives, this palace reminds me of it. Last year, Concubine Xiande and Concubine Zhou Guifei both received the imperial decree to grant grace to return to the mansion to visit relatives. This kind of honor of being a concubine has never been seen since the founding of the Taizu Emperor. Listen It is said that your families have also built magnificent family-saving villas, and it cost a lot of money, right?"

Both Jia Yuanchun and Zhou Guifei didn't expect that this topic would suddenly come to the provincial family villa.The queen said: "The current emperor is an extremely thrifty person. When he was a prince, he should advocate frugality in the mansion. Naturally, it is the same in our palace. The concubine's house is also the face of the emperor. Don't waste too much."

When Jia Yuanchun heard that this was blaming their natal family for not being thrifty enough, in order to take the concubine back to the mansion, he started building a new palace.But there is no way to refute this blame, so he can only bear it.Jia Yuanchun thought to himself that it had been more than a year since the last time he visited his relatives, and the queen would not think about it sooner or later, and Xue Baochai was by the empress's side, which made the queen say these words.Could it be that she slandered the queen?

I also thought that Xue Baochai should not be so confused. The Jia family and the Xue family can be regarded as two families that both prosper and lose. What's more, Baochai is going to marry Baoyu as his wife. Jia Yuanchun never thought about it. Baochai and the Xue family will look down on Baoyu.

The empress is the person in charge of the harem, and her status is indestructible. Since she mentioned today that the concubine's family who built the palace should not spend too much money, after Jia Yuanchun and the others return to their palace, they will personally issue a decree to the government to convey it. This is what the queen empress means.

The queen said again: "Concubine Xiande, have you heard about Yang Guozhong's life?" Without waiting for her to answer, she continued, "I heard that you also have a younger brother who was born with jade. It's really incredible and unheard of."

When Jia Yuanchun heard this, he quickly knelt down and said, "I have also read a few books, knowing that Yang Guozhong is the elder brother of Yang Yuhuan, the favorite concubine of the Tang Dynasty. My younger brother is only in his teens, he is an ignorant child, and he has not entered the official ranks, why the Empress Empress compares him with Yang Guozhong, the servants are terrified."

Empress Empress said seemingly unintentionally: "Concubine Xiande misunderstood me, but I heard two plays two days ago, in which Yang Guozhong was being played, and suddenly thought of this. Speaking of concubine's brothers, think of only Only your younger brother was born with jade, not to mention our Qing Dynasty, even the previous dynasties, I have never heard of such a miracle, I think he is a man of great fortune. Ask your family to cultivate it well, and in the future will serve the country Be loyal and serve the emperor, and it happens that he has a sister who is a concubine, so don't be like that pampered Yang Guozhong."

Jia Yuanchun had mixed feelings in his heart, he still thanked En and said: "Thank you for the teaching of the empress".

The queen said: "Okay, you all go down, we will go back to the palace after sitting for a while."

Jia Yuanchun was different from the slow stroll when he came here, as if someone was chasing after him, he wished he could stride back to his palace immediately.

Concubine Zhou continued to sneer, "Sister Concubine Xiande, it seems that the empress pays a lot of attention to your Jia family, and your cousin is beautiful and elegant, and she is a beautiful woman. Come and gain the trust of the Empress Dowager!"

Jia Yuanchun walked faster when she heard the words, and she was puzzled. She didn't know why Xue Baochai entered the palace and became the empress's side, and she didn't know why the empress beat her like this today, borrowing Baoyu and Yang Guozhong to imply that she was Concubine Yang Guifei, who was spoiled and spoiled, could not die well!Some people in the palace had previously speculated that the empress had chosen this year's most outstanding show girl to be by her side.But Jia Yuanchun knew in his heart that Xue Baochai was no longer on the list!

She returned to Fengzao Palace, and immediately said to her confidant maid, "Send a message and let my wife always come to see me!"

Baoqin said: "But there is only a regular meeting in the palace, and the next time will take more than 20 days. If the empress has any message, the eunuch can take it out by then."

Yuan Chun just remembered that Mrs. Wang just came to the palace a few days ago, but this matter cannot be clarified by a few words from someone's summons, and the queen just beat her, if she knows that she is always telling her family The message from the government might be even more dissatisfied.

Jia Yuanchun rubbed his sore forehead, and said, "Forget it, just let a little eunuch go out to preach that the garden for visiting relatives was already too extravagant when it was built, and from now on, remember to live frugally. Build others, and the number of people who manage the yard and tend to the vegetation will be reduced by half!"

A few days later, the Yulu case has been disturbed for more than half a month, and Yinxiang's investigation is almost done.As the saying goes, pulling out the radish and bringing out the mud, the final spearhead was directed at the group of the eighth sons of the late emperor, the mastermind was the Eighth Prince, and the Ninth and Tenth Princes were also involved.

In order to fight for the throne, Ni Qiang, the fratricide brother, Yongzheng was very heartbroken, but they were so bold as to drug him and make him addicted to drugs. This crime already constituted treason.If it wasn't for the fact that he was the prince's son and grandson, he would have killed everyone.

All the people involved in it have already been locked up, and the last thing to do is the emperor sent a message to the Queen's Palace saying: You can let Xue Baochai go home.

After getting along with each other for the past few days, the queen has gotten to know Baochai well, and believes that she is not a girl who loves vanity. In this palace, it is very rare to have such a quality, because the palace is strictly hierarchical. Everyone wants to step on others to climb to the next level.

The emperor came twice, and Baochai would never come to him without specially summoning her.The princes in the palace greeted the queen every morning and evening, Xue Baochai followed the queen and never took a second look.I'm afraid that in the past few days, Xue Baochai didn't see what those princes looked like, and if they meet again in the future, it will be difficult to recognize them.

The queen couldn't help thinking: "This girl may be too cautious, and she is left in the palace for fear that something will happen."

In fact, she guessed right, Xue Baochai thought so, not to mention the little princes who were in their teens and hadn't grown up, there was nothing worthy of her attention.

The queen was about to ask someone to pack Baochai's luggage so that she could take her out, but she didn't bring anything with her when she came, but the queen has rewarded her with quite a few things in the past half a month, and as a show of respect, she should take them out.At this time, an old woman came from Ci'an Palace and said, "The Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager have summoned Miss Xue!"

The queen didn't expect such an unexpected incident, since she was summoned by the queen mother and the concubines, she had to go, "Do you know what's going on, mammy?"

That nanny usually follows Dowager Yi. Although the empress looks familiar, she doesn't even know her surname, because after the current emperor ascends the throne, those concubines who used to be in charge of the harem retired to Ci In Ning Ci'an Palace, give up the seat to the present empress Ulanara.

The old nanny said: "This servant doesn't know about it, so I asked her to go with this servant."

Xue Baochai looked at the queen and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry, since the queen mother and concubine are summoning me, I'll just go there."

The queen pondered and said: "Wait a minute, Ben Gong will go with you."

The nanny said with a straight face: "The empress should know the rules, why did the empress go there without being summoned, it would not be beautiful if it offended the empress dowager and the concubine."

The queen said: "I am a servant of the palace, please go and ask the queen mother and the concubine, it is possible that the ladies will not see me again! Don't bother me, let's lead the way!"

Seeing that the queen was facing a formidable enemy, Xue Baochai also felt a little worried along the way.When they arrived at the Ci'an Palace, they found that there was a room full of beautiful middle-aged women talking around a person beside the hospital bed. The person on the bed was already terminally ill and his face was sallow.When Xue Baochai and the queen came in, the person sitting on the imperial concubine chair by the bed was advising her not to think too much, so that the illness would recover quickly.

The empress paid her respects first, and Xue Baochai later realized that the person speaking was the current empress dowager, and the person on the hospital bed was Concubine Yi.The other beauties in that room were all concubines of the late emperor. Because the harem of the late emperor was extremely large and they had many children, after the emperor ascended the throne, the concubines of the first emperor who had princes and princesses all lived with the empress dowager. In the two palaces of Ning Ci'an.

The queen mother was kind: "This child is that Miss Xue, raise your head, come over and let me have a look."

Concubine Yi on the bed had a gleam in her ashen eyes: "You are the one who offered the Yulu prescription?!" The palace called this case the Yulu case, so others only thought that the pill was called Yulu. .

Xue Baochai said, "That's right, what advice does the empress dowager have?"

Concubine Yi gasped and coughed and said: "You have entered such a prescription, you can see how much turmoil it caused! Since you are such a genius doctor, you can come up with a health-preserving prescription that the emperor respects. If you can heal this palace well , Bengong will admit it, if the doctor can't cure you, and you have made that harmful thing, you can be buried with me!"

As soon as she said these words, the voices that were supposed to comfort her to take good rest and take care of her body stopped, and the room was silent for a moment, and even Concubine Hui, who was usually on good terms with her, didn't know how to speak up.

Concubine Yi's illness has long been declared by the imperial hospital to have no cure, she is just suffering.Her own son, Prince Nine, was dismissed by the emperor and demoted to a commoner because of his participation in the Yulu case, so everyone knew that she was unwilling to do so for her son, and she wanted to give her a back when she died.

But Baochai was so unlucky, who gave her the prescription.

The queen was startled, and said: "Concubine Yi's mother thinks she is confused due to her illness, Miss Xue is not an imperial doctor, how can she treat you. Besides, she has done nothing wrong, the emperor himself said that she has already ordered her to leave the palace and go home. If the mother concubine insists on taking the Emperor's wishes in this way, and embarrassing Miss Xue, I'm afraid the Holy Majesty will be dissatisfied."

The Empress Dowager also said: "Sister Concubine Yi still take care of herself, don't always listen to the gossip of the servants, what happens to Yun Tang and their descendants will be dealt with by the emperor's fourth brother impartially, why should my sister make things difficult for the emperor."

Concubine Yi said: "Empress Dowager, I haven't reached the point where I am old and foolish." She said to Xue Baochai: "If you cure me well, I will reward you very much. If you can't even cure my minor illness, you will be rewarded." What qualifications do you have to offer medicine to the emperor! You are simply too self-sufficient! I want to punish you for your disrespect, or this is a conspiracy at all, and it just hurt my solid-eyed little Jiu!"

It is impossible to spread rumors about things in the court, but for those who have their own eyeliner and means, there are few secrets in the palace, so Baochai's role in it, although Yongzheng did not specially send someone to report, these few Concubine Dowager, she knows it very well.

At this time, a majestic voice said: "Concubine Yimu is talking about who plotted to kill the ninth brother, are you talking about me?"

Seeing that the emperor arrived suddenly, except for the queen mother, everyone else in the room greeted Yongzheng again when they saw Yongzheng.

The queen mother frowned slightly: "Why is the emperor here at this time? Isn't he usually dealing with government affairs at this time?"

After Yongzheng greeted the Empress Dowager, he said: "Originally, I was dealing with the government affairs, but I suddenly realized that Yimu Concubine is seriously ill, and sons and ministers should come to visit more often. I didn't expect you to be so lively here. Lian Zhen ordered to let us out of the palace. Everyone is there."

The Empress Dowager does not want the Emperor to be present at this time, no matter what Concubine Yi does, she is also the concubine of the late Emperor, and she should not be taught by Yongzheng. If there are rumors in the court that Yongzheng disrespects his mother and concubine, it will be very detrimental to the new emperor. .

The queen mother said: "Since it is the palace that the emperor ordered to vacate, that girl, you should follow the order."

As soon as her words fell, Concubine Yi who was lying on the bed disagreed: "I can't let her go yet. Ben Gong said that unless Ben Gong's illness is cured, I will punish her!" Concubine, now that she is terminally ill, there is nothing she can do about it.

She pretended to be a concubine, and Emperor Yongzheng wanted to give her three points.

Xue Baochai said at this time: "For the illness of Concubine Yi, the Tai Hospital is helpless, and how long it will only depend on God's will, is that what you say?"

The old nun who went to invite her said: "That's right, the girl seems to be there." Could it be that just by looking at her, she could tell her situation.

Xue Baochai said to Yongzheng: "The imperial concubine Yi's illness is treated conservatively according to typhoid fever. I am afraid that my mother will not live until the end of this month. There is a way for women to guarantee my mother's life for a few more years."

Everyone was very surprised, seeing that Grand Concubine Yi was about to die, otherwise they wouldn't always gather in this room, just to be ready to send her away at any time.

Yongzheng raised his eyebrows and said, "There is no joke before you, you have to think about it before you speak."

Xue Baochai nodded and said: "There are still some details that are not suitable for patients to listen to. Please move the emperor and empress to the outside, and let me explain in detail."

So, the emperor and the empress followed her out, and the empress said: "Everyone knows that Concubine Yi is just having a hard time, even if you can't cure her, the emperor and this palace will not blame her. Just bear with her first."

Xue Baochai said: "This Concubine Yi is indeed at the end of her lifespan, but there is indeed a way for women to push her through the palace, but this Concubine is too weak to do so forcefully. Although it can prolong the life span of three to five years, there is a sequelae, that is..."

Yongzheng said anxiously: "It's what it is, you just say it, I promise not to blame you."

Xue Baochai said: "The aftereffect is that the concubine can't take care of herself from now on. If she doesn't recover well, she may not even be able to speak. But Minnv can guarantee that her consciousness will be very clear."

Yongzheng pondered for a moment, he had not completely regained the power represented by the mother's family behind Taifei Yi, and the power on the side of elder brother Yuntang. , it is indeed not the time, and maybe someone will catch him with an excuse to attack him, saying: "If you are sure, you can give it a try!"

Concubine Yi was indeed in control of the harem with great glory when Kangxi was alive, but now that it has come to the Yongzheng Dynasty, she is just one of the many concubines in the palace. Yongzheng only cares about the political power she represents, not at all Whether she can take care of herself and speak from now on.

So Xue Baochai was ordered to push the palace for this Concubine Yi. In the first three days, the Concubine seemed to have fully recovered, her complexion was rosy, and her spirit was strong. Moved!Then I asked the imperial physicians for a consultation, and they all said it was a miracle. This lady has come back to life, and her typhoid symptoms have all disappeared, but it may be due to too much wear and tear, and she will have some mobility problems in the future.

Concubine Yi's heart is clear, but she can't control her hands and feet, and she can't speak, don't mention how anxious she is, but it's too late to regret.

Having said that, if Baochai hadn't entered the palace by mistake this time, no one would have known her unique technique, and this Concubine Yi might have died by this time.So whether it is a blessing or a curse, we have to look at it from different angles.At least from Yongzheng's point of view, Xue Baochai was able to save the life of Concubine Yi and let her be raised symbolically in Ci'an Palace, which is naturally a blessing.

At this time, Xue Baochai had left the palace and returned home.

Mrs. Xue didn't know that her daughter had a dangerous walk in the palace, and was almost buried with that poisonous woman, Grand Concubine Yi.

Mrs. Xue was still puzzled and complained: "Thirteen Fujin is also strange, why did you stay here for so long this time? I have sent people to inquire several times, and the maids who went there have not seen you. I was thinking Do you want to go there in person, because I was afraid that Yifu Jin would be suspicious, so I endured it for another two days."

Xue Baochai thought to herself that even if she went, she would not be able to see her people at all, but she was still worried for nothing, so she could only make nonsense to comfort her: "Because the two princesses in their family are married, recently, Prince Yi Being too busy with affairs to be away from home, Thirteen Fujin was a little scared to live alone in the big courtyard, so he asked me to stay with my son for a while."

Mrs. Xue always believed in Baochai's words, so she didn't ask any more questions.

After letting go of this period of time, Baochai checked all the matters submitted by Xue Biao one by one and found that they were handled well. With Xue Biao's help in the future, he was finally able to liberate himself.

Suddenly a servant came to report: "Second Master Bao from Jia's Mansion has also come, clamoring to see the girl."

Even though the Xue family had moved out of Jia's residence, Jia Baoyu still came to visit him often. Every time he came, Mrs. Xue would definitely let him in, but this time she was a little hesitant.

Xue Baochai asked a little strangely: "Mother, what's the matter with you, Baoyu is here, don't you want to see him, or something happened during my absence?"

Mrs. Xue sighed: "Now is not the time to talk about this, I will tell you later. It's just that you are all grown up, and you should have a taboo, but he has come here this time, and you happen to be at home, so let's see him first." Is there anything serious this time?"

So someone brought Baoyu in. At that time, Baoyu had already walked to the door by himself. He greeted Mrs. Xue first, and then took Baochai to talk in private.

Baochai said, "Brother Bao, you
