[Red Mansion+Qing Chuan] The heroine comes from the last days

At the flower viewing banquet this afternoon, the Empress Dowager could see clearly that Jiang Ling had been staying away from the disputes of the crowd, and even the seats were arranged far away. Compared with the chaos in the afternoon, such a move was simply It is more sensible.

Evidently, she was a clever girl who knew how to avoid trouble.

Sometimes the empress dowager even thought that if Jiang Ling could continue like this, even if she was made queen, it would be fine.

But Kangxi obviously had his own plans, otherwise a whole year and eight months would not have passed, Jiang Ling was still a concubine, and the palace had never heard of a queen.The empress dowager knew that her grandson liked her, but what she didn't know was that he cared so much, even to the point of being "irreplaceable".

In connection with what the late emperor did, the Empress Dowager simply didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

The Empress Dowager half closed her eyes, holding the cup of cold tea, and didn't let anyone come in to change it.

After Kangxi saluted, he stood up, and there was a hint of naughtiness in his usually gloomy eyes.

"Mama Huang is serious." Kangxi said with a smile, "Nothing happened to Concubine Yun. Even if there was, it has been taken care of by my grandson. I don't dare to bother Mama Huang. Mama Huang is coming to Changchun today. It’s really the first time ever. You see, it’s freezing cold, and the Changchun Palace is empty and deserted, how about grandson to send you back to the palace?”

The Empress Dowager pointed at him and scolded with a smile: "'Don't dare to bother the Mama Mama', you kid is messing around in front of grandma again."

Kangxi glanced outside, it was already dark, so he smiled and didn't answer.

The Empress Dowager gently put down the teacup, stroked her forehead and said, "Okay, okay, Mama Mama knows, you have your own reasons for your affairs, and you just need to grasp the measure yourself. But today's It is indeed wrong. After a while, you will go to the Queen Mother in person, make amends, and take Yunbi with you. But I reckon that the Queen Mother should not be very happy to see her. You can decide for yourself. Huang Ma Mammy has only one sentence here: Don't cross the bottom line, otherwise I will definitely not tolerate her."

Kangxi gave another salute and said, "Grandson understands."

The Empress Dowager waved her hand and said, "Go back to the palace." Then she got up and walked out.

Kangxi naturally accompanied him, La Aunt Su Ma and Chief Manager Liang who had been expelled from the palace followed, and followed them back to the palace.

The Changchun Palace returned to its former silence, the emperor and the empress dowager's sedan chairs left together, and snow fluttered down in the sky again, erasing the last traces on the ground.That night the palace was peaceful, and Jiang Ling slept soundly, without any disturbances.

It wasn't until the next morning that Jiang Ling knew that last night Kangxi personally went to the Empress Dowager's Palace and had a long talk with the Empress Dowager in the middle of the night.

She nestled under the quilt for a while, then gently stroked her lower abdomen, and an indescribable feeling surged in her heart again.

After a while, there was a maid knocking on the door outside, calling Jiang Ling to get up and wash up.Since she was promoted to be a concubine, not only her residence has changed, but also the number of people around her has doubled. The two nuns who followed her into the palace no longer have to work as a concubine every day except for handling some personal affairs. worth it.Jiang Ling tried the temperature of the water in the copper basin, and it turned out to be slightly hot. He couldn't help being surprised at their thoughtfulness.

After washing up, he had a special breakfast, which was said to be according to the list made by the imperial physician.

After breakfast, there is a routine consultation.It was still two of the four imperial physicians last night, a man and a woman, who checked Jiang Ling's pulse respectively, looked at her eyes and tongue, and carefully asked about her physical condition before retreating.These medical practice records have to be submitted to Kangxi's imperial case every day, so they can't be sloppy at all.

After the routine consultation, someone supported Jiang Ling again and took a walk in the yard for a while.

Although it is not suitable to go out of the palace in this icy and snowy place, it is still necessary to breathe and walk around in the courtyard.

After turning around twice, the time had passed, and Jiang Ling was a little tired, so he asked people to step back for a while, and took a rest in the room by himself.But only halfway through the rest, a personal nun came back, holding the veil wrapped with yesterday's snacks in her hand.

"Master," said the nanny, "it has been checked by someone. It is mixed with live blood and fetuses. If someone else eats it by mistake, it doesn't matter. But the master is pregnant, if there is a little bit of it on it... ..." When Mammy said this, she felt a little scared.

Jiang Ling reached out to grab the handkerchief, but Mammy dodged it.

"Master, don't do it." The nanny tried hard to persuade, "This thing is powerful. The pharmacists all said that if it touches even a little bit, the master's pregnancy will be lost. It's better to be more cautious. But I don't know who killed it. The knife, if you want to take the child in the womb of the master, you are really cruel."

Jiang Ling secretly smiled.The ruthless and cruel person in Mammy's mouth is currently living in the palace.

She thought about it, and then said: "It's good if you clean it up. That's right. When I went to ask yesterday, did you ever say anything wrong?"

The nanny said: "How can it be, the servants will be locked up tightly, and they didn't even let the wind out, they just said that something got mixed up in the small kitchen at some time, and the little maid who was in charge of the meal was so frightened that she let it go." Even the master didn’t know about the slaves who went to test it. Don’t worry, master, the slaves will rot in their stomachs, and they will definitely not let the fourth person know.”

Jiang Ling nodded slightly, and said, "Of course I can trust the nuns."

The nanny said yes, and suddenly seemed to remember something again, and said: "Last night at the time of Hai, the slaves heard that a few more vases were broken in the palace, but they never found out which palace it was broken in. This Does the master know what's going on?"

Jiang Ling thought for a moment, guessed a little bit, then smiled and said: "Don't worry, mother, I know it well."

Mammy let out a beep, then retreated to deal with the handkerchiefs and snacks, leaving Jiang Ling alone to rest in the room.Resting for a while, Jiang Ling suddenly heard someone gossiping outside, saying that several major events happened at the Great Court Meeting yesterday, the first one was that the King of Beijing Jing proposed to check the Ministry of Accounts, all the accounts of Kangxi since he became the throne for 24 years, Thoroughly investigate everything, so as to make time for several major events next year.In addition, there were several other major events, all of which were related to Aihui's use of troops, but had nothing to do with Jiang Ling.

Jiang Ling thought for a while, then called a maid into the house, and asked them to ask if Princess Beijing returned home safely last night.

The maid quickly went back to the house, saying that Princess Beijing went back to the garden with Concubine Tai last night, but she never returned to the palace.

Jiang Ling waved his hand and told them to retreat.After a while, when the nuns returned to the house with the handkerchiefs they had prepared, Jiang Ling asked a few questions about the investigation of the household department.

The mothers said: "Master is asking this. It is said that at the Dachao meeting yesterday, the King of Beijing Jing suddenly claimed for some reason that the accounts of the household department had been accumulated for a long time, and there must be some bad and bad debts that could not be sorted out. When entering the treasury, check the accounts thoroughly, so that the emperor will not be in vain... Well, the servants will not be clear about the following things."

Jiang Ling nodded slightly.For some reason, she always felt that this matter had something to do with Lin Daiyu.

Because it is said that the King of Beijing Jing has a peaceful temperament. If he hadn't been provoked into a hurry, he would not have taken the initiative to solicit trouble.

The nuns continued: "However, the slaves and servants have heard that there are three people in charge of this matter, one is King Beijing, one is Prince An, and the other is Ming Zhongtang. Master, this matter is the same as that of our mansion. Is there any relationship here?" If it is, it's better to prepare as early as possible.

Jiang Ling shook his head and said, "I don't know. But what is certain is that this matter is mostly related to the Rongguo Mansion or the Jinling Royal Family."

For a prince with a peaceful temperament, and a prince who has been peaceful for 20 years, to take the initiative to take the initiative must have something to do with what happened in the past six months.But in the past six months, the only thing King Jing did was to make Lin Daiyu his concubine, and he also took care of some housework for her.

Therefore, Jiang Ling deduced that this incident was mostly because of Lin Daiyu, and the possibility was very high.

When the nuns heard that this matter had nothing to do with the mansion, they calmed down for the time being.

If it was related, Jiang Ling would definitely be able to see it.

Just as he was ignoring the meeting, a big court lady hurried in from outside, saluted Jiang Ling, and said, "Greetings to the master. Master, Princess Beijing has come to the palace, but because she has not been summoned, she is currently being stopped Outside the palace gate, look—"

Jiang Ling sat up straight suddenly: "Stopped outside?"

The palace lady said: "Yes. Eunuch Gao outside is old acquaintance with King Beijing. He happened to recognize the princess, so he sent someone to pass a message inside, asking the master to think of a reason and let the princess in. Otherwise, this icy world , it's not a problem."

Jiang Ling thought for a while, then said: "You go and tell them that the concubine entered the palace in a hurry because she heard that I was pregnant and worried about it. She didn't intend to violate the palace rules. Besides, the empress dowager once said, Allow Princess Beijing to visit me in the palace, and let them let people in directly."

Then he pointed to another nanny and said, "Mammy, please make another trip to welcome the princess into the palace."

Mammy complied.

Not long after, Lin Daiyu, who was dressed in bright red but with a pale face, ran in in a hurry, panting and ran to Jiang Ling, and asked in repeated voices: "A Ling, what's wrong with you, A Ling? The fetal gas is moving. You, are you okay?" As he spoke, he anxiously looked at Jiang Ling's lower abdomen, fearing that something might happen to the child.

Jiang Ling smiled and comforted him: "It's okay. If you don't say that, they won't let him go."

Lin Daiyu stroked her chest, and let out a long sigh of relief: "It scared me."

Jiang Ling said a few words of comfort in a soft voice, and Lin Daiyu calmed down.The maids served tea at the right time, and brought Jiang Ling a cup of warm water before retreating.Lin Daiyu was distracted for a while while holding the tea, and then she calmed down a little, then she let out a sigh of relief and said, "A Ling, don't annoy me, I was really scared, so I hid here. Yesterday As soon as I returned to the garden at night, I was stopped by the servants from the Rongguo Mansion, who kowtowed to me repeatedly, saying that I must not let my life die. I haven't figured out what's going on, and I made a fuss last night One night. Until this morning, Second Aunt and Lian's Second Sister-in-law were still visiting me in the garden, so I was so shocked that I hurriedly hid here."

Jiang Ling listened quietly for a while, then comforted her softly: "Don't worry. If you get bored, stay with me for a few more days."

Lin Daiyu shook her head repeatedly and said: "No, Ah Ling, you don't understand. They kept saying what they said last night, what's the matter, 'Please give me your hand and let our small family be free', I didn't even hear half a sentence I don't understand. I asked Er Niang (twilight concubine), but Er Niang didn't understand either. But last night, the prince did not go back to the mansion, saying that he went to check some accounts thoroughly overnight, and what he said was exactly the same as Jinling. Ah Ling, tell me, what is going on here?"

Last night, the king of Beijing led people to check the accounts overnight, and it was "exactly the same as Jinling".

At yesterday's court meeting, King Beijing Jing proposed to check the accounts, which was the first time in 20 years.

If Jiang Ling only believed [-]% of the time just now, then at least [-]% of him now.

This matter is not only related to Lin Daiyu, but also has a lot to do with it.

Jiang Ling patted the back of her hand reassuringly, picked out some important things he had just heard about King Jing and the household audit, and briefly mentioned them to Lin Daiyu.

Although Lin Daiyu is a little ignorant of world affairs, she is a smart woman who knows everything.

"You mean, they came to look for me last night, and this morning, the second aunt and Lian's second sister-in-law came to visit me because of the prince's investigation of the household department?" Lin Daiyu said in amazement, "but I'm not the prince. What does it have to do with me?"

You are Princess Beijing.

Jiang Ling smiled helplessly, and slowly said the above sentence.
