The Palm Jade of the Red Chamber

The floor in the Changchun Palace was covered with thick blankets, and the corners were wrapped up. The four-month-old eighth elder brother was crawling happily on the ground. Yinzhen was watching over his younger brother, grandma Cake pushes a round bead in front of Eight Princes.

Daiyu and Xiaoniu Gulushi were sitting on the couch doing embroidery, and Xiaobai was sleeping soundly next to Daiyu.

The eighth elder brother is still white and fat raised by Daiyu, his legs and feet are very strong, and he loves to smile. Everyone has a big smile when he sees it. It is Concubine Yi and Concubine Huang Gui who have a lot of opinions on Daiyu. When facing the eighth prince, he will always give a smiling face.

"That kid Zeyan doesn't like to smile anymore?" Yinzhen used to be a kid who liked to smile a lot, but now the older he is, the less expression on his face, and Niu Yulu likes it very much. Yinzhen's shallow dimples.

"It's not his Huang Ama's trouble," Daiyu looked at the embroidery in her hand, and smiled helplessly when she heard Xiaoniu Gulu's question, "Zeyan has small dimples, his Huang Ama always It's a joke that only girls have, it's not manly enough, gradually, Zeyan didn't like to smile at him, Huang Ama, and got used to restraining the expression on his face." Boys have small dimples, but it's very Lovely, the old man of the emperor doesn't know how to appreciate it!

It's a pity, but the younger son doesn't have dimples. I think the dimples on the older son's hand feel are super good!

"Your majesty is also true. How can anyone say that about a child." The two sat together, doing embroidery, looking at the child, and complaining about the emperor. The day passed like this.

However, the emperor who was nagged by the two concubines was still dealing with political affairs. He had a lot of affairs in the court, and naturally there would be more things in the next year. Sometimes he was busy until midnight and couldn't rest. Not an easy job.

The harem is peaceful, except for Jia Yuanchun and Xiao Niu Gulu who have no sons in the high positions, everyone else has sons and daughters, occupies a high position, and is favored by the emperor. They have everything they need. Even Concubine Huang Guifei and Concubine Yi now seem to have children and have everything they need, not to mention the others. The Xiaoniu Colu family has always been on good terms with Concubine Xi and regards Concubine Xi's two children as Of course, my own children don't matter.

As for the concubine De, whom Yuan Chun has always regarded as a thorn in his side, she is already pregnant. Yuan Chun feels her stomach and hates it very much. She just doesn't understand how the Wu Ya family can give birth so much. Pregnant, this is her third child, obviously her favor is no less than Wu Ya's, but she has never been pregnant again.

When Mrs. Wang entered the palace, she brought a lot of prescriptions for Yuanchun. Jia's mansion is getting worse and worse. Jia Zheng is a pedantic one. Jia Amnesty has already gone to Jiangnan with his wife and concubines Although Jia's mansion is now completely controlled by the second house, but there is no family property. When Wang Xifeng was the housekeeper, it was Wang Xifeng's dowry. Now Shi Xiangyun takes care of the children and is unwilling to be the housekeeper, and Jia's mother is getting old. Mrs. Wang can only be the housekeeper. Now she can only add her own dowry, but how can she be reconciled to that, it will be left to Baoyu in the future, but Baoyu doesn't know where she went, and she is very worried.

Yuan Chun was made a concubine, Jia's mansion was naturally very happy, but Yuan Chun did not have any good news, Mrs. Wang was very anxious, if Yuan Chun could give birth to a prince, and the emperor loved him, the status of Jia's mansion would naturally be incomparable to what it is now .

She was jealous of her younger sister. Baochai gave birth to a princess for the emperor and was raised by the queen mother's side. Although Baochai lost his life, the Xue family got the reward, the imperial business kept it, and Xue Pan lost the reward because of the loss. After losing my younger sister, there is only a lonely mother left. She seems to have grown up a lot overnight. She took her mother back to Jinling, took good care of the business, and married the daughter of a merchant. Everything will be fine for the Xue family. Well, if their Jia family had a little prince, he would naturally be better than the Xue family.

"Mother, do you think that the child resented me back then, so he didn't want to return to my womb, and God punished me by not giving me the child?" Yuan Chun would dream of the aborted child in her dreams at night. She didn't Protect that child, lose that child, and use that child to calculate, become a concubine, and even borrow Baochai's hand to harm Wu Ya's daughter. Maybe it is because of these that she is only one now. Children cannot be conceived.

"It's just that fate hasn't arrived yet. You are the child who hurt your body before. As long as you take good care of yourself, you will be able to conceive a dragon heir in a short time." Mrs. Wang patted Yuan Chun's hand to comfort her, thinking in her heart that after leaving the palace, she will be pregnant again. Go to worship in various temples, and pray for the son of Avalokitesvara.

"I wish." Yuan Chun sighed, rubbing his lower abdomen, feeling bitter in his heart.

What the mother said was just comfort, she knew her own body, she was in good health, there were not many people in this palace who were healthier than her, but so what?

If you can't have a baby, you can't have a baby.

Jia's mansion is very cold now. The three girls in the mansion originally went to the south of the Yangtze River with their elder brother Yingchun. They got married and had children and had a good life. Tanchun also got married. Already pregnant, Xichun was taken back to Ningguo Mansion by her father and brother.Dafang's family all went to Jiangnan. Jia Lian was a county magistrate in Jiangnan, and his official position was not high, but Jiangnan was a rich place, and Wang Xifeng was used to doing business. Just go out to walk the birds or take care of the grandchildren at home with Mrs. Xing.

Jia Lan is old and has already gone to school. Jia Huan also took the exam once with Tianyou. Although he failed the exam, he can occasionally get Lin Hai's guidance. Jia Zheng also values ​​it very much. Baoyu still hasn't been found. Shi Xiangyun sent off to marry the older girls, and the younger ones were locked up with Shi Xiangyun in the yard to take care of her precious son. Jiamu was sick these days, and Daiyu also told the emperor to let her go. The imperial doctor came to see it, and the imperial doctor said that it is not very good, so he should take good care of it.

Rongguo Mansion, which used to be lively and full of people everywhere, is really depressed now. Although Jia Mu didn't say anything, she felt uncomfortable in her heart. People like to be lively when they are old, and especially It is easy to think about the past.

Every day when Shi Xiangyun came to pay his respects, Mother Jia always pulled Shi Xiangyun to talk about the past, such as the things about Jia Zheng and the others when they were young, such as the things about their grandchildren. Tired, but can't stop listening.

She thought, maybe when she gets old, she will be like Mother Jia, constantly recalling the past with others, some are happy, and some are naturally unhappy.

After more than a month, Jia's mother still did not wait for her beloved grandson, nor did she see the granddaughter she never forgot. She left not very at ease, worried about this and that, but she was the one who worried No one is around.

Not long after dawn, Daiyu in the palace received the news, she was stunned, and looked at Li Nanny: "What is Nanny talking about?"

"Ma'am, the old lady has gone." Nanny Li repeated it again.

"Gone? Grandma has gone?!" Daiyu sat on the bed weakly, with red eyes, and waved for Nanny Li to go out. She needed to be alone.

Maybe the grandmother used to do something that she didn't like, but she really loved her. Now that the old man is gone, there will never be another person in this world who loves her as much as she does.

In the morning, she went to the Compassionate Ning Palace to pay her respects. Nanny Li took her two children with her and made a complaint to Xiao Zhuang. It was really inconvenient for her mother to go out now, and Concubine De did not come after the complaint.

Xiaozhuang waved his hands, hugged the eighth elder brother in his arms, and said to Nanny Li: "Put the two children in the Compassionate Peace Palace today, you go back and take care of your master, she is weak, don't be too hurt Sad."

"Yes, the servant girl will persuade the empress." Li Nanny lowered her head, and Yinzhen looked up at Li Nanny strangely. Although she didn't quite understand what happened to Er Niang, she knew that she was going to be with her younger brother in Ci Ning today. Gong accompanied Uku's mother.

Xiao Zhuang said a few more words to Nanny Li, and sent people back. He also said the same thing to the Nanny sent by Yuanchun, and it was not convenient for the two of them to come over for a few days.

The eighth elder brother who didn't understand anything smiled in Xiaozhuang's arms with crooked eyes, while Yinzhen stood obediently beside Xiaozhuang, protecting his younger brother, with a cold face, thinking When I go back at night, let Erniang poke her dimples to play, so that Erniang's mood will be better.

The emperor also learned of the news after the court, and asked Liang Jiugong: "How is the imperial concubine?"

"Bailing said that the mother's breakfast was useless, so she locked herself in the room alone." Liang Jiugong replied.

The emperor pondered, read the memorial for a while, and got up: "I'd better go and have a look."

But the imperial physician said that Daiyu must eat meals on time every day, which is good for her body. Daiyu also listens to the imperial physician's words. Sometimes if she loses her appetite, she will eat a little bit. This time it is not necessary to eat breakfast .

"Without the emperor, the imperial concubine does not know when it will be better." Liang Jiugong said beside the emperor.

"She is the most sentimental. If I don't accompany you, I don't know how long I will be sad." The emperor said helplessly, but his steps were not slow at all.
