[Red Mansion] Married by decree

In the courtyard, Jia Zheng gritted his teeth and looked at Jia She next to him. Jia She didn't evade, and he took a calm attitude.

"Brother is so majestic in the court hall, he actually made my mother faint with anger."

"Second brother be careful. How can mother be angry if elder brother is loyal to the country?"

"It's a good one to be loyal to the country. The elder brother's loyalty to the country is to participate in the Xining County King's Book!"

After all, Daiyu has a different surname, but now she is very embarrassed on this occasion, and it is difficult to speak, so she can only silently stand aside as the background, trying hard to pretend that she does not exist, "Master, everything is waiting for the old lady to wake up." Let's talk."

"What do you know as a woman? If you hadn't been used to Baoyu on weekdays, Baoyu would be so outspoken and say that in front of Zhou Changshi."

Mrs. Wang noticed that there were juniors present at the moment, and it was really not suitable for them to quarrel.So he wanted to persuade him, but he was scolded by Jia Zheng as soon as he opened his mouth.

After hearing Jia Zheng's words, Baoyu shrank his neck even more.Although he didn't think he was wrong, he kept silent because he was afraid of Jia Amnesty.

At this time, the door of Jiamu's room was opened, and Yuanyang, a maid beside her, came out.Seeing this, the two brothers Jia Amnesty also stopped their quarrel.

"The old lady is awake."

Jia Amnesty and Jia Zheng walked in first, and Daiyu followed Sanchun at the end.

In the room, Jia's mother was lying on the couch.Apparently it was a headache again, and a band was tied across his forehead to relieve it.Her face was even paler, and she looked seriously ill.

Before everyone could stand still after entering the room, Mother Jia pointed at Jia Amnesty and scolded her son.Among the crowd, the juniors were watching with their eyes, nose, nose, and heart, as if they hadn't heard it.Mrs. Xing was stupid and wanted to say something to ease the relationship, but she was afraid that what she said would add fuel to the fire, so she didn't say anything in the end.

"Mother scolded."

Jia Amnesty's attitude was good, and he directly accepted the rebellion, which made Jia's mother gasp again.It's just that the oil and salt don't get in, there is nothing to do except scold a few rebellious sons.

Seeing this, Yuanyang hurried to Jiamu's side to give Jiamu a sigh of relief, in case she was fainted by Jia Amnesty again.

"Is grandma better?"

"Yu'er, come to grandma quickly."

Daiyu didn't want to stay in Rongguo Mansion anymore, so she opened her mouth to show her existence.Mother Jia was only focused on scolding Jia Amnesty before, so she didn't see Daiyu who came in with Sanchun.Seeing Daiyu at this time, his face softened a lot.

Daiyu walked forward a few steps according to her words, passed the crowd and came to Jiamu's imperial concubine's bed.But he stood still one step away, without any intention of getting closer.

"Grandmother is fine, so Yu'er is relieved. It's just that Yu'er asked the prince to invite the imperial doctor to see her grandmother, but she didn't thank the prince. She can only visit grandma again in the future. I hope grandma will not be offended."

Daiyu's intention was to say goodbye, and after she finished speaking, Jia Mu's face sank, and then she recovered.The two changes in Jia Mu's face were only for a moment, and it was impossible to notice without paying close attention.

"Grandmother is fine, since Yu'er has something to do, let's go first."

"Yu'er will leave first."

After a period of time, Daiyu entered the palace again. There seemed to be no major changes in the palace, but Jia Yuanchun was favored. The emperor not only flipped her name for many days, but also promoted her to the rank of concubine. bit.

On the way to the Empress Dowager's palace, Daiyu met Yuan Chun, and when she saw Yuan Chun, she met Li first.

"Daiyu has met Mrs. Concubine An."

Daiyu didn't live in the palace, so she didn't know that Yuanchun had been promoted to concubine.The eunuch leading the way did not expect to meet Concubine Xiande on the way, and he would not talk too much about it with Daiyu.

"My master is now a virtuous concubine proclaimed by the sage." Baoqin behind Yuan Chun stood up with a proud face, as if it was not Yuan Chun who was conferred the concubine, but herself.

"Holding the piano is not rude."

"It's the lady."

"Cousin hasn't entered the palace for a long time, so it's normal to not know."

Perhaps it was due to the recent promotion of the Holy Grace, Yuan Chun looked more graceful and luxurious, but she looked like a concubine.

"Daiyu hereby congratulates my cousin for being promoted to a virtuous concubine. I hope my cousin will forgive me for being rude."

"Everyone is a family, there is no impoliteness."

"The Empress Dowager summoned her, but Daiyu didn't dare to keep the Empress Dowager waiting, so she left first."

"Cousin, let's go. If there is nothing else, you can come to accompany cousin. It's better to have someone to take care of you in this palace."

"If Daiyu has been there for a long time, my cousin shouldn't be bothered by Daiyu."

Daiyu and Yuanchun seem to be very affectionate, like a pair of sisters who have a very good relationship.Until Daiyu turned around, Yuan Chun had a smile on his face, and the smile disappeared only after Daiyu's figure disappeared completely.

"Your Majesty, do we still have to go to the Royal Garden?"

"Let's go."

After leaving, without Daiyu's instructions, Xiangzhu chatted with the eunuch who led the way.

The eunuch who led the way was still the same as before, and every time he led Daiyu, he got a good reward.Of course, he knew everything about Xiangzhu beside Daiyu, "Grandpa Zhang, when I accompanied my girl to the palace last time, wasn't this virtuous concubine still concubine An? Why did she get such great favor after not coming for a few days?" ?”

"I don't know about this either. I'm just a little eunuch leading the way. But I heard people say that Concubine Xiande's sudden favor has something to do with the first-class general."

"In the future, my daughter will inevitably enter the palace again. It would be bad if she gets the wrong address when she meets a nobleman. This time, Concubine Xiande is generous and doesn't care about it, but it's not like every time you can be so lucky. In the future, I will invite my father-in-law Mention more."

"Miss Xiangzhu is being polite."

The eunuch smiled even more flatteringly when he took Xiangzhu's purse.These guide eunuchs have extremely low status and rarely receive rewards.Now that I met such a generous person, I naturally had to be flattering.

After Xiangzhu finished speaking, she slowed down her pace, and only when Daiyu came to her side did she maintain the same speed as Daiyu, following behind her.

The three of them walked for a while before reaching the Empress Dowager's Palace, but they did not meet any other concubines.However, Xiangzhu did not follow Daiyu into the main hall, but stayed outside the hall.When Daiyu went in, Xiangzhu also turned and left.

"Daiyu has met the Queen Mother."

"Girl Lin is here, why are you alone, where is Xiangzhu?"

"Back to the Empress Dowager, Xiangzhu and the former sisters in the palace have not seen each other for a long time, so she took a leave of absence with Daiyu to visit them."

The Queen Mother didn't say anything after hearing this, but looked at Daiyu as if she knew everything.

When Daiyu came out of the hall, Xiangzhu was already waiting outside.Xiangzhu has harvested a lot since one time, so naturally he has paid a lot, and he has a few purses on his body.

"girl."

"Let's go back."

Xiangzhu nodded and followed Daiyu out of the palace, knowing that this is not the place to talk.After waiting for the carriage, Xiangzhu reported the situation to Daiyu.

"Miss, Xiangzhu has already found out clearly. The fact that the virtuous concubine was promoted to the concubine without a child is actually because the elder of the Rongguo Mansion participated in the Xining County King's Book."

In the harem, anyone who wins the position of concubine must have a son by his side.Jia Yuanchun was the first one who won the imperial concubine without a son.It is precisely because it is the first one that it looks even more eye-catching.

"I didn't find out what kind of Xiangzhu the master of Rongguo Mansion participated in. I only know that the king of Xining County and his family were demoted to common people in addition to their titles. Concubine Jian knelt for three hours, but she was not summoned by the emperor. Degraded."

Concubine Jian is the direct granddaughter of the current Prince of Xining County. She has been favored by the emperor since she entered the palace, and she even became the head of all concubines after entering the palace.Now she has no love at all. Although she was not thrown into the cold palace, she fell directly from the concubine's position. I'm afraid it will be difficult to climb up again in the future.

"Xiangzhu also heard that Concubine Jian has moved to Concubine Xiande's side hall since she lost her concubine status. That person is probably in a hurry for Concubine Xiande and watching Concubine Xiande enjoying the favor."

Daiyu didn't care about the relationship between Jia Yuanchun and Concubine Jian, she just thought of the time when Jia Amnesty came to see Zhao Ye, and also remembered the person she met in Yunze during her investigation.

After that investigation, Yunze had sent someone over to tell Daiyu not to investigate Zhao Ye's injury anymore, bluntly saying that this matter was beyond Daiyu's control.

Although Daiyu didn't continue to investigate after that, she was even more puzzled about Zhao Ye's injury.My own father-in-law is just a commoner, how could the prince send someone to investigate and even warn himself.

What Daiyu knew didn't have much connection among them, but her intuition told Daiyu that there must be some connection among them.

Since Daiyu couldn't figure it out, she decided to ask Mrs. Zhao directly.

"How much does Yu'er understand about this matter?"

"Daiyu thinks that the whole incident started when her father-in-law was injured." Daiyu rationalized her thoughts and said her guess: "The prince did not let Daiyu investigate this matter, so it can be seen that the dignitaries and dignitaries must be involved. .”

Mrs. Zhao didn't say aloud whether Daiyu's guess was right or wrong, but just signaled Daiyu to continue talking.

"Even though my eldest uncle is my eldest uncle, he has no friendship with Yifu. Since we came to Beijing, the two of them have not been in contact with each other. It's just that when Yifu was injured, the two talked alone for a long time. Not long after, eldest uncle Then he joined the Prince of Xining County. In this matter, Yifu must have contributed, even the prince also had a share."

"Does Daiyu know why your father-in-law resigned and returned to his hometown at that time?" Mrs. Zhao continued without waiting for Daiyu's answer, "It is related to the Prince of Xining."

"The thing that caused my father-in-law to be seriously injured is..."

"Your friendly father's injury has nothing to do with Xining County King, but a concubine of Zhou Shangshu's mansion."

Daiyu looked at Zhao Shi with a face full of shock.The concubine in the inner courtyard would never see a male guest, how could Yifu be hurt by a concubine, and still defend her like this after being hurt.

Afterwards, he took a few cautious glances at Mrs. Zhao, and it was even more strange to see that Mrs. Zhao showed no sign of anger.

"You girl, what are you thinking?" Mrs. Zhao was amused by Daiyu, seeing her like that, she knew where she was thinking.

"She is the daughter of your friendly father's former colleague. You also know the law of this dynasty. If the daughter of a criminal official is not exiled, she will be given to the home of a hero as a servant."

"At that time, the Supreme Emperor had not yet abdicated, and the four kings and eight princes were full of arrogance. That person discussed with your friendly father to impeach the Xining County King. Your friendly father was prevented by your father from withdrawing early, but the minister was..." What Zhao said here is not Without going any further, Daiyu could guess what happened next.

"This matter has always been a heart disease of your Yifu, so don't mention it in front of your Yifu."

"Dayu knows."

What Daiyu and Mrs. Zhao didn't know was that from that day on, Jia Amnesty re-entered the court and directly joined the Ministry of Industry, assuming he was Jia Zheng's immediate boss.

Since the new emperor succeeded to the throne, the forces of the four kings and eight princes who were on the wrong side in the fight for succession have been suppressed.But now Jia Amnesty stepped on the shoulders of Xining County King and climbed up again, and his niece was the future Princess Anshun.

Most of the four kings and eight princes did not like Jia She's actions, and some of them were good at following the trend.Standing on Jia She's side.He wanted to use Jia Amnesty to stand in line again and win the favor of the new emperor.So far, the closely related four kings and eight princes have completely split.
