It's the beginning of the new year, and all the places in the palace are decorated, and the bright red festive palace lanterns are hung, even the "cold palace" like Fengzao Palace is showing a bit of joy.All the palace people in Fengzao Palace were looking forward to it, but now they are eighteen and they still haven't got the decree to lift the ban, and they can't help but mutter in their hearts, how did their mother offend the Holy Majesty?Unexpectedly, they refused to appease their anger at the end of the year.

Baoqin just came back from the small tea room, holding a bowl of black soup in his hand, saw several palace people gathered together and whispering, although the voice was soft, there were still a few words that wafted into his ears.As soon as these people were talking about the empress, they immediately frowned and shouted: "It's a serious crime to talk about the master behind your back! Ignoring you for a few days, your skin is itchy, isn't it?"

"Slaves don't dare." Several palace servants were so frightened that they knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Kneel here for a stick of incense, and wake up your mind well." After holding the piano and punishing him, he entered the hall.The hall was empty, and all the luxurious decorations had been packed away. The things that belonged to the imperial concubine were also taken back by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Now it is just a nobleman's house, so it is naturally much shabby.Baoqin couldn't help but feel sad when he saw it, and saw his mother lying there dispirited and listless, so she hurried forward and whispered: "My mother, the medicine is ready, take the medicine."

Jia Yuanchun's formerly glamorous face lost its luster and looked haggard and sickly.Hearing the sound of holding the piano, he smiled wryly and said: "My body is already like this, so what's the use of taking more bitter medicine? It will never get better."

"My lady..."

Jia Yuanchun said again: "The people below let them go, what are they punished for? Now they think that I am still a queen, and they are afraid in their hearts. If one day they know that I have completely lost power, then it will not be difficult for you. Why bother. We have lived in this palace for so many years, didn't we realize that little ghosts are difficult to deal with, and one thing more is worse than one thing less."

There were tears in Baoqin's eyes, and he choked back his sobs and said: "Your Majesty, how can you allow them to talk! Even if your Majesty loses power, she is also the master. If you let them, no one will obey and understand the rules. Your Majesty is soft-hearted, but every Madam is more hard-hearted. , nor will it be..."

"But you're talking nonsense again. Can I ignore them? I entered the palace because of them, how can I ignore them?" Jia Yuanchun said and shed tears.

Baoqin hurriedly persuaded her to take the medicine.

Yuan Chun's heart was ashamed, he turned his head and closed his eyes, letting the medicinal soup cool down little by little.

Baoqin had no choice but to put away the medicine bowl, but seeing that she was not moving, he thought she was asleep, so he ordered the little maid to watch, and took the medicine bowl and went out.Baoqin is Yuan Chun's number one confidant maid, originally she didn't need to do these chores, but they have been in the harem for so many years, they are used to being cautious, so how can they trust other people to do such entrance things.Especially now that Yuanchun is in a bad situation, if someone takes advantage of the opportunity to tamper with, there is no place to complain.

The night was getting dark, and the palace was quiet everywhere, only the palace lanterns cast a cold shadow on the ground.

Yuan Chun opened his eyes, the hall was desolate, and he heard voices vaguely.Probably the palace people from last night were chatting to pass the time, but they unconsciously heard the words "historian", "family copy", "Ningguo Mansion", etc., which made Yuan Chun alert, got up and went to the window, quietly listening to the voices outside.

Yuan Chun's heart became colder the more he listened, and his mood fluctuated so much that he found it difficult to breathe.

Ever since Yuan Chun was demoted and grounded, no outside information was known. It turned out that historians were also implicated in the matter of the prince of Nan'an, and the prince of Nan'an actually had the intention of treason.Thinking of what I have done before, as a fearful person, I am deeply worried, if the emperor angers the Jia family...

"Your Majesty, what's the matter with you, Your Majesty?" Baoqin just got up habitually at night to check, and saw Yuan Chun lying on the ground, his face flushed, his hands clapping his heart as if out of breath.Baoqin hurriedly called someone to inform the empress to ask the imperial physician, and went to fetch the spare loquat paste.

Yuan Chun has suffered from the root cause of his illness since his miscarriage, and the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician is effective, but it also has a moderate side effect, which makes Yuan Chun feel a little fat.After all these years of struggling in the harem, Yuan Chun left nothing but a dark wound all over his body. Now that his body is bad, all kinds of old diseases have found him.I don't know when, Yuanchun's heart fire has been very strong, and he often produces phlegm. When he is agitated, the phlegm will come up and block his throat, making it difficult to breathe.The imperial doctor added medicine to clear the fire, but it didn't work very well. Instead, he often took loquat cream to reduce phlegm, and after all, it treated the symptoms but not the root cause.

As time passed, Yuan Chun's face turned pale, but the imperial physician was still in the future.

"These people are full of snobbish eyes. They must see that the empress has fallen out of favor..." Baoqin was anxious and angry, and couldn't help crying.

Yuan Chun grasped the qin tightly with both hands, and moved his mouth as if he wanted to say something. After listening to the qin for a long time, he realized that it was "Jia's family", and he cried even harder.

After all, he couldn't hold his breath for a long time, and the imperial physician hadn't come yet, but Yuan Chun was already out of breath.

When the news was reported to Fengyi Palace, the queen frowned slightly, she just felt that it was unlucky for such a fact to happen in the middle of the year, thinking about this matter, she had to ask the emperor for an idea, so she ordered someone to report it to the emperor.

The emperor also felt displeased when he heard the words, so he just said lightly: "What can we do with this? It's just a noble person, just follow the rules."

After hearing this, the queen knew it well.Although Yuan Chun used to be a concubine, she has been demoted, has no children, and is still charged with crimes.The queen was just happy to have the emperor's grandson, and she didn't want to get involved in such matters, so she just explained it and asked the subordinates to handle it.

Although the death of a nobleman in the palace is only a trivial matter, Yuan Chun was born in the Duke's mansion anyway, and the queen ordered someone to notify him.

When Jia She heard that the eunuch had come to the palace, he thought it was another eunuch who came to ask for money, but he didn't see him at all, so he was led to the second room to see Mrs. Wang.

Mrs. Wang is in the Liaofengxuan of the Grand View Garden. Two days ago, the palace sent people to bring Xichun back, and at the same time, they brought many dowry personnel who were married to each other, including nuns, female officials, court ladies, eunuchs, and a few guards. A large amount of dowry, in addition to being partially withdrawn from the national treasury, the rest of the dowry that belongs to the county head's specification is kept in the Ministry of Internal Affairs for archiving.Xichun is now the head of the county, and even though she still lives in the Jia family, the Jia family cannot be the masters of her marriage and have to take good care of her.Mrs. Wang came here not to care about anything else, but to want Xichun to help find Baoyu.

Mrs. Wang was worried day and night, she added a few gray hairs, and she became more haggard.

Xichun naturally knew where Baoyu was, and knew that Baoyu would not arrive in the capital at the end of the year, but she couldn't tell Mrs. Wang the truth. "Second wife, although the imperial court appointed me as the head of the county, after all, I am a girl. How can I know anyone who can go to the second elder brother? Why doesn't my wife ask the second brother Lian? The second brother Lian is an official outside, so naturally I know many people. .”

Mrs. Wang lowered her head and wiped her tears, no one could see the cold look in her eyes: "Your Lian's second brother is busy with errands, how can he have time to spare? I just think, if we can post a notice in every post station, Xu Baoyu You can see it, know that I am sick, and I will definitely come back."

Xichun was taken aback for a moment, and then she realized what Madam Wang's plan was to ask her to go to Prince Chun's Mansion.Among the sisters, she has a better relationship with Lin Qingyun, and with the pure prince's favor, it is not difficult to post a missing person notice at the post station.What's more, when Mrs. Wang said this, I'm afraid she wanted to make people say hello to the officials along the way, and help them find treasure jade.

Xichun used to think that Mrs. Jiamu Wang and others loved Baoyu too much, which made Baoyu look like a child. Now, looking at it, Mrs. Wang wants to control Baoyu even more, whether it is the important matter of marrying a daughter-in-law or going out on weekdays Mrs. Wang always needs to know about small matters of communication.Up to now, Baoyu has to be tricked back.Although there is a loving mother, the last thing Baoyu needs now is a "loving mother".

Therefore, Xichun pretended to be puzzled and embarrassed: "I don't understand what the second wife said. How can I have such ability? The imperial court has always issued notices, and we can only spend money to find people. I think the second wife Madam, don't worry too much. Didn't the second brother write a letter two days ago? Since everything is fine, he said that he will return home in March and April next year. Let's just wait. The second brother is out for some training, and when the time comes, the second wife You’d be too amazed to admit it.”

Seeing that she didn't answer, Mrs. Wang was annoyed and anxious, she didn't care about these obedient things, and was about to leave when Zhou Rui's family reported that someone from the palace had come.

"It's just asking for money. You have to come here at this time every year. Is it worth it?" Mrs. Wang couldn't help feeling strange when she saw Zhou Rui's family turned pale.

"Ma, ma'am..." Zhou Rui's family held back, but finally couldn't hold back, and burst into tears: "Madam, just now the little eunuch said that last night, our eldest lady passed away."

Mrs. Wang was stunned: "What?"

"The little eunuch said just now that the eldest lady suffered from an old illness last night, and before the imperial doctor arrived..."

Mrs. Wang just felt dizzy and fell to the ground.

At this time, Dafang also got the news, and everyone seemed to be falling apart.Today is the 21th day of the twelfth lunar month, and this year the imperial seal is on the [-]st day of the twelfth lunar month, so Jia Lian is still on duty at Honglu Temple, Wang Xifeng has no one to discuss, so she can only come to Mrs. Xing and ask Jia She for an idea.

Through a curtain, Jia She asked Wang Xifeng: "Then what did the eunuch say? Just now he thought he was asking for money, but he just said he wasn't here. It's not easy to see him now."

Wang Xifeng also didn't care to laugh at the old man, and hurriedly told what he asked. "At the beginning, the little eunuch only said that my mother suffered from an old illness last night, and she was gone. Although my mother's health has not been very good this year, but the daughter-in-law only thinks that something is wrong, and she is really dead. Our mother is a virtuous person. What about the concubine, can there be no movement in the palace? What's more, I just sent a little eunuch to pass on the news. The daughter-in-law was not at ease and spent money, so the little eunuch quietly told the truth. The little eunuch didn't know much inside information, only our mother It was buried according to the nobleman's ceremony, and it was packed in a coffin last night and sent out of the palace overnight."

Mrs. Xing shook her hand, and the teacup shattered on the ground: "This, what the hell..."

Even if Mrs. Xing has no experience, she knows that such haste and crudeness are definitely not a good thing, even if it is a disaster, I don't know.

Jia Amnesty also thought the same way, and hurriedly said, "Go ahead, quickly send someone to Honglu Temple to find Lian'er, and ask him to inquire about it. Remember, ask someone quietly, if you can't ask, just don't mess with it. Taboo from above."

Jia Amnesty was deeply afraid that Jia Yuanchun would cause some privacy in the palace, and he was even more afraid that Yuanchun's death would not be his own, but would be bestowed by the royal family.The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became, and when I thought of the few companies I copied not long ago, I broke out in a cold sweat.

Wang Xifeng was also terrified, touched her seven-month-old stomach, ordered Ping'er to order the car outside, and said to Mrs. Jia Shexing, "I'm going to Prince Chun's Mansion."

"Yes, go and ask Princess Chun, as long as we know whether our family has been charged with crimes, you don't have to worry about the second wife's affairs." Jia She instructed.

As a result, Wang Xifeng hadn't gone out yet, when a little girl came running and shouted: "It's bad, it's bad, the old lady found out, and she passed out all of a sudden."

Jia Amnesty rushed out of the room and asked, "How did the old lady know? Didn't she tell you to hide it?"

The little girl said: "It was concealed, but, but the second wife ran in suddenly, and said everything at once, about the empress, and about the Shi family, the old lady just..."

"From the second family, this is trying to kill the old lady!"

At this time, Wang Xifeng didn't bother to go out to inquire about the news, so she rushed to the upper room.When the eldest room came, they saw Yuanyang lying there crying, and Li Wan led Tanchun, Xichun, Baochai and Baoqin, who were also crying, but Mrs. Wang was sitting there like a clay sculpture.Seeing the elder come in, Li Wan hurriedly avoided with his sisters.

Jia Amnesty came in and saw Jia Mu lying there unresponsive, and was also anxious, asking Yuanyang repeatedly: "How is the old lady? Have you sent someone to call for the imperial physician?"

"I've gone to ask the doctor Wang." Yuanyang wiped her tears and replied, occasionally glanced at Mrs. Wang with a trace of resentment.

Jia Amnesty turned his head and cursed at Mrs. Wang: "Second brother's family, what on earth are you thinking? Are you trying to piss off the old lady on purpose? If you are so unfilial, I should let my second divorce you!"

To say that Jia amnesty is really urgent, there is filial piety towards Jia's mother, but it is more because of the consideration that if Jia's mother really disappears, Jia Lian, as the grandson, must keep his filial piety.Seeing that Jia Lian has become more and more handsome as an official in the past few years, Jia She also realized the pride of being a father, not to mention that the eldest grandson has an official father to rely on, which is also the key to the revival of the eldest son. One step, how can it be ruined by Mrs. Wang!

Mrs. Wang seemed to wake up from the scolding, she slumped on the ground and cried bitterly: "My Yuanchun, my poor daughter...my daughter entered the palace for the Jia family, suffered hardships, and suffered all kinds of tortures." , until now the death is unknown but no one has asked. I still don’t know where my precious jade is, my pearl, my precious jade..."

Mrs. Wang was already puzzled, crying and calling about her children indiscriminately, but Li Wan in the green gauze cabinet heard the name of her deceased husband, and also cried sadly for a moment.

Jia's mother was already old, and she often suffered from illnesses in the past two years. This time, she was stimulated again, frightened, furious, sad, and anxious. After a few attacks, she became unconscious.Physician Wang came, shook his head, changed another imperial physician, still shook his head, Jia Amnesty went to beg Lin Ruhai himself, and invited two good imperial physicians with Lin Ruhai's famous post, but the diagnosis result was still not optimistic.Drinking bitter medicine every day means resigning to fate.

When Jia Zheng came back and found out about this, he slapped Mrs. Wang angrily and scolded: "Ignorant stupid woman! Children's affairs are determined by destiny. How can this cause my mother to be tired? If the old lady has something wrong , I will definitely send you back to the royal family!"

Mrs. Wang waited for two days. Knowing that she was reckless at the time, she didn't dare to tell the furious Jia Zheng. After being beaten, she pretended to be very repentant, and invited herself to go to the Buddhist hall to pray for the old lady.

If we say that Mrs. Wang's behavior that day was really just a coincidence, a moment of anger, and a moment of urgency.Because of Baoyu's worries, she never had food and sleep day and night, and only her daughter died.But all this is hidden from the old lady, who just eats, drinks, and plays with her granddaughter every day, and only occasionally asks if Baoyu has a letter.Jia Mu couldn't hide Baoyu's affairs. Jia Zheng was afraid of frightening Jia Mu, so he only said that Baoyu was escorted to Jinling's ancestral home to visit the ancestor's tomb.Mother Jia scolded him for this, and read Baoyu's letter, and she had no choice but to say that Baoyu had grown up, and she asked about everything in the letter, which warmed Jia's mother's heart.

That day Mrs. Wang woke up from a coma. She went to the room to ask the old lady for advice, to get some inside information about the death of the empress from an old family.But the little bitch Yuanyang said something like "the old man said, you can't provoke the old lady", seeing the laughter and laughter in the upper room, he became angry for a while, hit Yuanyang, went in and told Jia Mu about what happened in the past few days Said it all.

Mrs. Wang knelt in the small Buddhist hall, she looked kind and pious on the surface, but she kept cursing the old lady to die in her heart.

Mrs. Wang didn't take Jia Zheng's words to divorce her at all.She married into Jia's family for 30 years, gave birth to two sons and a daughter, and served her father-in-law in mourning and filial piety. How could Jia Zheng just quit?Furthermore, she is the daughter of the Wang family, his elder brother Wang Ziteng is in a high position, but the Jia family has fallen, hum, Jia Zheng wants to divorce her, dare you?

Mother Jia remained awake, and Daiyu was inevitably worried when word of this matter reached Daiyu's ears.Later, Daiyu thought of Fan Shu, the genius doctor in Jiuhua Mountain that Lin Qingyun had told her about. She couldn't go out by herself, so she had to ask Zijuan to ask.

But Lin Qingjun said: "Then Fan Shu left Beijing a long time ago, and he doesn't know where he is now. Besides, he has a weird temper. Even if he finds someone, he may not be willing to come to the doctor. How is my sister recently?"

Zijuan sighed and said: "Our eldest grandma's temper is not known to the princess, she is the most careful and easily sentimental. Since she was pregnant, her temper has also been weird. She often tosses the uncle, but the uncle is used to her and doesn't get annoyed. These days Grandma didn't eat well and didn't sleep well because of the old lady of the Jia family, so the uncle also found a good doctor and sent him to Jia's house, but the doctor said the same thing."

Lin Qingyun's heart moved: "The old lady is most worried about Baoyu. If she can find Baoyu and come back, call the old lady twice, the old lady will probably wake up."

Zijuan said helplessly: "Second Master Bao is also capricious. He ran outside alone, and he didn't know where he was. He didn't come back after the Chinese New Year. If he wants to find it now, where can he find it?"

"You just go back and tell my sister not to worry, the old lady will be fine." Lin Qingyun didn't say anything, but she thought that Xichun must have sent someone to inform Baoyu, and Baoyu would come back after getting the news.

The day before the new year, Jia Baoyu hurried back, looking at the person in front of him, Jia She, wife of Jia Zheng Wang, Wang Xifeng and others hardly dared to recognize him.

It took nearly half a year for Jia Baoyu to go out this time. Her round face was a little thinner, but she grew a lot taller. Looking handsome and upright, she has the heroic appearance of a 16-year-old boy.Going out this time, Jia Baoyu experienced a lot, and naturally grew a lot. Although the habits of some sons and daughters are hard to change, they understand the responsibility that a person should shoulder, which cannot be avoided.

"Ma'am, Baoyu is back." Jia Baoyu knelt in front of Mrs. Wang and kowtowed.

Mrs. Wang looked at him, tears streaming down her face, she hugged him and patted and scolded: "You child! Why are you so uneasy, and you are running around by yourself, wanting me?" life?"

Seeing Baoyu like this, Jia Zheng also felt relieved, and reminded him, "Okay, let Baoyu go and see the old lady."

Jia Baoyu came to Jia's mother's bed and felt uncomfortable seeing the old lady like this. He choked up in her ear and said, "Old lady, I am Baoyu. I'm back. The old lady opened her eyes and saw that her grandson is back." gone."

Although Jia's mother was in a coma, she was not unconscious. Tears dripped from the corners of her eyes when she heard Baoyu's voice.

Sure enough, Jia's mother cared about Baoyu wholeheartedly. A few days after Jia Baoyu came back, Jia's mother finally woke up.

On the ninth day of the first lunar month, the young son of Prince Chun's Mansion was full moon, and it was the New Year's Eve, so the Palace naturally held a big feast, which was very lively.

Lin Qingyun finally finished her confinement, took a good bath, and washed her hair. Because the weather was too cold, the cold wind blew unavoidably, so she didn't go outside.During the month of confinement, she did not forbid food and drink. Firstly, it was because she had to breastfeed her child. Secondly, if she did not take proper supplements during this month, she would always suffer damage to her body.After giving birth for a month, now Lin Qingyun looks like a beautiful woman, with the brilliance of a loving mother, which makes her feel a little less cold than before.

On this day, an imperial decree came from the palace, which was the document, book, seal and other things officially bestowed on the son.The emperor and the yamen were sealed on the 21st of the twelfth lunar month, so this decree was prepared long ago, and it is only waiting for today's announcement.

In this way, it is inevitable to make people jealous.

The heirs of the Biejia county's prince's mansion were all canonized at the age of three to five, but they were worried that the children would be too young to stand up. The heirs of the Wang family with different surnames were canonized later, and many of them were officially canonized before they got married.In this regard, Tu Yan and Lin Qingyun have reached an agreement. Tu Yan's status and title are destined to attract people's attention, no matter how many honors and pets he has on the little prince, it is the same, so there is no need to use everything as a weapon, just keep the same to cope with all changes.

That night, Chuyang's small bed was moved to the first room in the East Wing that had been prepared earlier, and Tu Yan came back to live in it again.It's just that in the middle of the night, Lin Qingyun always gets up, and he always feels that he can't sleep well when he hears Chu Yang's crying.

Tu Yan grew up in the royal family since he was a child. The royal family has many rules and weak family affection. The princes and daughters are raised according to the rules. Even the big family members follow the wet nurses more, so they are used to this kind of thing.Seeing her so desperate, it was both funny and emotional. After all, it was the first child, and Tu Yan himself was in great pain. The next day, he moved Chuyang's crib to the outside again, and the nurse and maid looked after it outside.

Lin Qingyun really felt much better as he got closer.

Tu Yan sighed: "When he grows up, you can't dote on him like this, like Jia Jiabaoyu, some headaches."

Lin Qingjun glared at him: "Why is my son like Jia Baoyu?" Then he laughed: "He must be like a pure prince."

Tu Yan also laughed when he heard it: "My son is naturally like me."
