The news of Kangxi's visit to Changchun Palace caused an uproar in the palace.

But before the people in the palace digested the news, the second big news exploded in the palace again: On February [-], the concubines, concubines, nobles, regulars, promises, etc. in the palace all had status. Ascend to the next level, each has a reward.Only the main seat of Changchun Palace is not included in this award.The official of the Ministry of Rites said: "The reward should be given after the birth of an heir."

"Wait until she gives birth to a child before conferring rewards, who knows if it will be conferred or not." A palace official said gloatingly, "At first I thought she was lucky enough to be promoted two levels in a row, but now it seems that the above My heart is still clear."

The rest of the concubines also made some taunting remarks, which meant only one thing: all the women in the harem were promoted, but only one concubine Yun was left behind, which is obviously a sign of being left out in the cold.Maybe when the time comes, he will be beaten to the cold palace directly. Who will pay attention to a palace man who is about to be thrown into the cold palace, even if this palace man is the only concubine who is pregnant within three years.

Different from the joyful scene outside, the Changchun Palace looked much more desolate.

The nuns are comforting Jiang Ling, saying that the emperor is sure about this matter, if he is not conferred this time, maybe next time he will be conferred directly as a concubine?The master is pregnant with Liujia now, so she should take care of it quietly... Jiang Ling listened for a long time before she smiled and said: "Nurse, don't worry, I know it well." The book is still in her room, black and white on yellow silk, The official Jade Seal of the Eight Classics is so real that it couldn't be more real.

But Kangxi told her that this thing should not be revealed to others unless necessary, so Jiang Ling had no choice but to accept the consolation of the nuns, and in turn to comfort the nuns, this matter is really irrelevant.

Compared with the news that all the women in the harem were enfeoffed, the matter of Kangxi's visit to the Changchun Palace seemed less important.

Some people even thought that Concubine Yun fell down this time. Although Kangxi came to the Changchun Palace in person, all the women in the palace were promoted to a higher rank, but Concubine Yun remained the same. He ran behind the fourth concubine for no reason.If they were Concubines Yun, they would have to cry in front of the Queen Mother.

But unlike what they had imagined, the Changchun Palace was still quiet, not only were there no rumors of crying, even the vases, teacups, jades, antiques, calligraphy and paintings were still in good condition, without any damage. The owner of Changchun Palace didn't take this matter to heart.

This is unavoidable, and it is too calm.

Although the concubines were all whispering in their hearts, because Jiang Ling was a concubine who "was about to be thrown into the cold palace, although she was pregnant, she was useless, and she couldn't even compete for favor", so they gradually threw her away. the back of the head.What people in the palace are talking about now is when February [-]th will come, what clothes and jewelry they will wear to accept everyone's pilgrimage, not Jiang Ling.

Unknowingly, the provocative, critical, and eccentric people around Jiang Ling are much less, and even the little Wang imperial doctor in the imperial hospital is rarely seen.As usual, Imperial Physician Xiao Wang is still very considerate.Although he would be stopped outside the Changchun Palace every time, he still enjoyed it and would come once every two or three days.Since the news spread, even his shadow has disappeared.

Jiang Ling guessed that the news that he was neglected should have spread, and the threat to some people had decreased.

During this period of time, besides the harem, there was another place of joy: Rongguo Mansion.

Ever since receiving the news of the promotion of the women in the harem, Rongguo Mansion was filled with joy, from Jia Mu who was seriously ill in bed to Jia Lan, who was the youngest, all had smiles on their faces.Especially Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng who handed in the paperwork did not expect things to go so smoothly.Jia Zheng even secretly asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs, is this true?Before long, he got an affirmative answer.

However, there is one exception in this Jinfeng: the imperial concubine's book is still the original one; and her court clothes are also the original one, and neither the Ministry of Internal Affairs nor the Ministry of Rites have redone them.

This detail was obscured by the light of Jia Yuanchun's promotion to imperial concubine, so it didn't attract attention at all.

Not only did Rongning and Ningfu not notice this detail, even the people in the palace didn't pay attention.After all, Jia Yuanchun "returned" to the position of imperial concubine, and the original books and court clothes were used, which seems reasonable.Jia's mother also repeatedly told her two sons to "make sure that things in Yuanchun go smoothly, and there must be no mistakes."Both Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng agreed.

On the [-]th day of the second month, everyone in the whole family got up early and asked the servants to go outside frequently to inquire about the news, until the moment when the imperial decree reached Jia Yuanchun Palace and Rongguo Mansion, The stone in everyone's heart fell to the ground.

Jia Mu said: "This matter has been done smoothly, and our mansion can be the same as before. In the final analysis, the prosperity and wealth of this whole mansion still depends on the concerted efforts of the two of you and Yuan Chun's stable position in the palace. , and the mansion is quiet and quiet. But I don't know what the situation is now when Yingchun followed her son-in-law to an official. If she can help the mansion like Yuanchun, let our mansion be the same A tree with intertwined roots is like a big tree, so it can grow big without falling down. Remember, no matter what happens in the mansion from now on, the interests of the whole family must be put first. If you want to turn your child around, that's a big mistake."

Jia Amnesty, Jia Zheng and others all said yes.Jia Lian was about to say something more, but when she saw Jia Mu's face getting worse, she didn't say anything.

Jia Baoyu fell on Jiamu's lap and called out mournfully to grandmother.

Mother Jia sighed, lovingly stroked the top of Jia Baoyu's head, and said gratifiedly, "Now the two big stones in my heart have fallen to the ground. Baoyu has Baochai as a good wife, and Yuanchun is in the palace." Helping me, it's a perfect fit."

Just as Jia Lian was about to take two steps forward, he gritted his teeth and held back.

Jiamu's complexion was really bad. He was afraid that if he didn't pay attention, he would make his grandmother seriously ill, which would be a great sin.

Mother Jia searched among the crowd again, but when she couldn't see Mrs. Wang, she sighed twice and said, "Very good! Very good!" Then she coughed vigorously twice, but this time she coughed up blood. The quilt in front of him was stained blood red.

"mother!……"

"old lady!……"

For a while, the room was in a mess, some came forward to support Jiamu, some asked the maid to bring a copper basin so that Jiamu could cough up the blood, and some went outside to find the imperial doctor.Although the Rongguo Mansion is different from the past, the plaque still hangs in front of the door anyway. The imperial doctor arrived in a short while, and after examining Jiamu's pulse, he shook his head and said: "The old lady has run out of oil and the lamp is dry. Hang your life."

That night, Lin Daiyu rushed over from the Beijing Prince's Mansion, took the most precious ginseng, cut it into slices for Mother Jia to swallow, and stayed with her all night in front of the bed.The rest, such as Jia Baoyu, Jia Tanchun, Wang Xifeng, Xue Baochai, etc., also served in front of them.But no matter how hard you try, the old lady's body will be exhausted day by day.

The next day, the news spread to the palace, and even Jia Yuanchun couldn't sit still, so he sent Baoqin to the mansion to visit the sick. die.Jia Yuanchun even begged the queen mother to let him go back to the mansion for a day.

The queen mother agreed to Jia Yuanchun's request, and sent the two nuns in front of her to follow Jia Yuanchun back to the mansion to prevent what happened last time from happening again.

But compared with years ago, Rongguo Mansion is already on the ground and the other is sunken in the quagmire.

Jia Yuanchun put on a full guard of honor for the imperial concubine, and the scene was even grander than the one two or three years ago.Mother Jia woke up miraculously, and nodded when she saw the eldest granddaughter in front of the bed. She wanted to call Jia Yuanchun's name, but she couldn't make a sound.Jia Yuanchun cried and said: "Madam, please be considerate of us juniors, don't let her go." His expression was extremely sad.

Mother Jia coughed several times, and looked at Jia Yuanchun with relief.

Now that the matter of the eldest granddaughter is over, Mother Jia naturally has nothing to worry about.

Although there was an imperial physician standing by at any time, Jia's mother still did not survive the next morning.

Jia Yuanchun, Jia Baoyu and the others were crying in front of Jia's mother's hospital bed, holding the piano and begging the nanny to let their girls return to the palace in a few days.Seeing this situation, the mothers were also a little bit embarrassed, and went to the palace to report back to the Queen Mother, who said: "Then give it another three days."

The coffin stopped for three days, and the coffin cried on July 49 and [-]. A completely plain ceremony was put on the table.

Mother Jia has passed away, and Jia Yuanchun has returned to the position of noble concubine, so Mrs. Wang naturally doesn't have to worry about it anymore.As one of Jia Mu's daughters-in-law, Mrs. Wang naturally had to accompany her before the funeral.But because of being locked up for so many days, Mrs. Wang became more and more dull. Except for Jia Yuanchun and Jia Baoyu, she didn't talk to any third person. Even Jia Zheng talked to her in a muffled silence.

After the death, Jia Yuanchun returned to the palace with the support of Baoqin.Because of too much grief, I took a rest early.

The next morning, the concubines made a pilgrimage as usual and saw Jia Yuanchun in plain clothes.

Jia Yuanchun was not in the mood to mediate with them, so he waved his hand to make them retreat.A little nobleman was dissatisfied: "My concubine, Concubine Yun didn't come today, but she is really proud of being favored. As a noble concubine, you should beat her up."

Jia Yuanchun was listless, and asked, "Then how should I beat her?"

The little nobleman snorted lightly, and said: "Naturally let the lady who teaches manners go to Yunbi's palace and give her two slaps. However, because Yunbi is pregnant with Liujia, this slap is enough. No." As he spoke, he glanced at Concubine Yi who was beside him, and sure enough, he saw a look of approval in Concubine Yi's eyes.

Jia Yuanchun didn't bother to pay attention to them, so he waved his hand and said, "Go ahead and do as you say."

So the little nobleman went out with the aunt in charge.Before leaving the palace, the nobleman lowered his voice and asked Concubine Yi: "Master Yi, look at me today, how did I do well?" Concubine Yi smiled and said, "Of course it is excellent." Then she gave the nobleman a compliment eyes.

Concubine Yi tried her best at the beginning, but she couldn't turn Jiang Ling into a knife that charged into battle.Now that there is a ready-made excuse, how can it not be used?

Immediately afterwards, the little nobleman took the aunt in charge, and four or five court ladies, and headed for the Changchun Palace in a mighty way.Concubine Yi pointed to a big court lady beside her to follow.Concubine Hui wanted to follow along to join in the fun, but was stopped by the nuns behind her, so she also sent a maid to follow.Concubine De and Concubine Rong were as usual, they had nothing to do with themselves, as if everything had nothing to do with them.

When they came to Changchun Palace, it was still as quiet as before.

The little nobleman glanced behind him and saw that Concubine Yi didn't follow, so he said to the aunt in charge: "Gungu, go in with me. It's just a good chance to catch Yunbi and teach Concubine Yun what the rules are. Don't think she is alone This little concubine will be able to pull out Master Yi's palm."

The aunt in charge was originally placed by Concubine Yi in the imperial concubine's palace, upon hearing this, she respectfully said: "Hey."

At present, the young nobleman and the aunt in charge, followed by several other palace servants, walked into the Changchun Palace one after the other.As soon as he entered the palace, he saw Jiang Ling leaning on the soft couch, with a swollen belly and a tired expression.In front of Jiang Ling, there stood an elderly imperial physician and a young imperial physician, both of whom looked familiar.The little nobleman slapped his head, and suddenly remembered that the younger imperial physician was the one who had a long fight with Jia Yuanchun outside the palace on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

The aunt in charge took a step forward, put the ruler in her hand, and said sternly: "This morning, Concubine Yun should go to the imperial concubine's palace to have an audience. The morning and evening will be fixed, and there must be no violation. But Concubine Yun is absent without reason. According to the law, he shall be punished." Twenty big slaps, two slaps on the ears. Considering that Master Yun is pregnant with Liujia, these twenty big slaps should be avoided. But for those two slaps, please take it yourself, Master Yun."

Jiang Ling sat up slowly: "You are..."

The aunt in charge said with a stern look: "The servant girl is the female official who served in front of your master. On the order of your master, she came to the Changchun Palace to teach Master Yun a little bit of manners, so that Master Yun can know that you must not be arrogant. Please Yun Master get up."

Jiang Ling smiled, and asked seemingly indifferently: "Are you from your lord's womb?"

The little nobleman next to him was still fanning the flames: "If Master Yun can't, I can help you." As he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward.
