[Red Mansion] Jia Lian, son of a family

Chapter 23

In the end, Jia Lian didn't know what was wrong with Qin Keqing from Zhang Song, but it was certain that the baby girl was unusual.He bid farewell to Zhang Song in a daze and returned to Jia's mansion. Before he could go back to his room and change his clothes, he was stopped by Jiang Jie who was beside Jia Daishan and went straight to Lixiangyuan.

Instead of Jia Lian kneeling down to greet him, he let him sit down. Jia Daishan smiled and wrinkled his face like a chrysanthemum blooming in September: "Lian'er, your grandfather has already told you. How about it? Are you confident?" ?”

Now the Holy One is strong and strong, and the nearly thirty-year-old prince has been personally raised by the Holy One since he was a child. He is not only outstanding, but now he has established a firm position in the court and clan. The future saint is none other than him.In this case, even if the Jia family gets involved with the young prince, they don't have to worry about their positions.

The fact that the descendants of the family can become the companions of the prince not only proves the talents of the descendants of the family, but also proves whether a family is favored by the Holy One.The Ninth Prince is the most beloved youngest son of the Holy Majesty. If Jia Lian can become his companion, he will have a good relationship with the future prince. Too much.

At the beginning, he chose to rescue him instead of following the coup d'état with the former prince. It was indeed the most correct choice. Not only did he become the confidant of the current emperor, but it also gave the Rongguo Mansion an excellent descendant like Jia Lian.

Mrs. Wang will only circle around the backyard, trying her best to ignore the child's upbringing for the sake of impossible rights and wealth.No, she wouldn't be able to raise good children even if she didn't have to spend all her energy on those things.Mrs. Wang, who was born in a noble family, and Mrs. Zhang, who was born in a noble family, have different innate visions. The limitations of her vision will also affect her two children.

Jia Zhu is a boy. Although he didn't move to the outer courtyard after he was six years old, at least he was enlightened by his grandfather before, and later he followed Xixi who was a Jinshi. Mrs. Wang didn't have much influence on him.It's just this little thing that turned a child who was originally quite smart into a nerd.

There are many scholars in the world, but there are only so many who can really stand out.Stereotyped essays are just a stepping stone to becoming an official in the imperial examination, and how many of them can really be used in the court, unless they stay in the Imperial Academy and draft documents at any time.

The question is, with a mother like Mrs. Wang, will Jia Zhu really be able to calm down and stay in the Imperial Academy all the time?

In any case, Jia Zhu's being the eldest grandson still had advantages, but Jia Daishan was very displeased with Jia Yuanchun.

The first is her noble fate of being born in the first year of junior high school.

Fortunately, this word was only spread in the Rongguo Mansion and did not spread to the outside world, otherwise it was completely irreparable.What does it mean for a girl who was not born in the royal family but has a noble fate?

For a woman, the most noble status is naturally the empress who is the mother of the country, or even the mother of the emperor—the empress dowager.

The crown prince's status is as stable as a rock, and the crown princess gave birth to the eldest son for the prince. If there is no accident, the eldest son will be the future grandson of the emperor.But the prince's son-in-law is now 12 years old and will get married in two years. How old was Jia Yuanchun at that time?

Even if he was of the right age, Jia Yuanchun, as the granddaughter of Jia Daishan, would not be able to take the position of the prince's son and concubine!So what does Jia Yuanchun's precious fate mean? !

Before seeing Jia Shi's family clearly, Jia Daishan felt that this granddaughter was really kind, and having the same birth date as his father Jia Yuan, maybe she really had a precious fate and a great fortune.But after jumping out of the fence Jia Shishi cast for him, Jia Daishan felt cold sweat rising from his back.

Perhaps at first Jia Shishi and Mrs. Wang said that Jia Yuanchun's fate was precious, but they just wanted to give her some bargaining chips and foundation for future marriage negotiations, but if this word came out of Rongguo Mansion, it would make people's imagination run wild.Jia Shishi and Mrs. Wang don't know the horror of this, how could Jia Daishan not understand.

Coupled with Jia Shishi's way of raising Jia Yuanchun, Jia Daishan once again got a thorn in his heart.

Jia Yuanchun matured much more precociously than girls of the same age who were more than five years old. Unlike her mother, Mrs. Wang, who was shrewd and capable, she had a gentle and generous personality, and she was a well-bred boudoir daughter at first glance.She's just a rich lady but has a majestic personality. Anyone with a discerning eye can tell what the Jia family is planning at a glance.

Apart from the concubines of the Holy Majesty, which women need grandeur?

What's more, it was an atmosphere that was deliberately cultivated.

Jia Yuanchun is a very flattering child, she knows what kind of child Jia Shishi likes, so she tries her best to develop herself in this direction.But she couldn't completely erase her own thoughts, and the gentle atmosphere only floated on the surface.

All this inevitably reminded Jia Daishan of the original Jia Min.When Jia Min wanted to discuss marriage, Jia Shishi also wanted to marry her to the four princes or even the royal family.In Jia Shishi's mind, even being a side concubine is better than marrying a down-and-out kid like Lin Ruhai as a regular wife.

If it wasn't for Jia Daishan's insistence, it is very likely that Jia Shishi would marry Jia Min into the Nan'an Palace. At that time, she and the present Nan'an Concubine looked pretty much the same.

Jia Daishan and Jia Shishi thought completely differently, he never thought of marrying his daughter into the royal family.While considering how much benefit his daughter's marriage can bring to the Jia family, he will also consider whether his daughter's marriage can be happy.

Jia Min's somewhat noble temperament is not suitable for marrying into the royal family, let alone let her be a concubine, or a scholarly family is more suitable for her.

Jia Daishan is well aware of the difference in rules between Xungui and Qinggui, and he can't do it if he has only one woman, but for his son-in-law, he hopes that he only has his own daughter and one woman.Lin Ruhai, who had a pair of children, was self-conscious. Before Jia Min went south, he kept his life clean, and there was no woman around him.

Jia Min has a father like him to protect him, but Jia Yuanchun doesn't have a father like him.Jia Zheng's attention was all on his books, and he paid attention to Jia Zhu, his son who also loved reading. As for Jia Yuanchun, his daughter, she had nothing to do except meet Jia Shishi every day when she greeted her.

With some cloudy black eyes looking at the gentle young boy who nodded and said that he would work hard, Jia Daishan could only sigh in his heart.I only hope that after Jia Lian has done something, he can lend a helping hand to the second room at a critical time instead of suppressing it.

He didn't know if his decision was correct this time, but he had no other chances.Rongguo Mansion cannot fall into the hands of Jia Shishi, he will not give her the opportunity to exercise her husband's power on his behalf in Rongguo Mansion after his death.

Smiling encouragingly at Jia Lian: "Grandfather believes that Lian'er will definitely succeed." With him and Zhang Song behind Jia Lian, it is basically a certainty to become a companion, but he will not give the child such a feeling.Some things, you still have to work hard on your own.

"Stay here and have dinner with grandfather today?" Just as he was about to call Jiang Jie in and order the meal, Jia Daishan noticed the hesitation and hesitation on Jia Lian's face.Withdrawing his hand, he smiled kindly, "What's the matter, Lian'er, you look like you want to say it but dare not."

Jia Lian thought over and over again on the way to Lixiangyuan, but still felt that Qin Keqing's affairs should not be kept from Jia Daishan.The matter of branching is a matter of great importance, and it cannot be done by him and Mrs. Zhang alone. The system will issue this task at that time, and Qin Keqing's coming is just an opportunity.

In the previous life, Jia Daishan left early, Qin Keqing had passed away long time ago when he was sent to the Rongguo Mansion, and the affairs of the Rongguo Mansion were all decided by Jia Shishi.And in this life, Jia Daishan is still alive, as long as he is around, Jia Shishi will not be able to jump up.Regarding Qin Keqing's matter, maybe he will have completely different ideas and opinions.

After making up his mind, Jia Lian looked up at Jia Daishan with his dark eyes: "Grandfather, my grandfather asked me a special question today. He asked if we have a good relationship between the West Mansion and the East Mansion, and asked if I knew I know that Brother Jing from the Eastern Mansion... got a wire to let Qin Bangye, a sixth-rank official under the Food and Beverage Division, adopt a baby girl from the Yangsheng Hall."

"Why, your grandfather is suddenly interested in these things like those women?" Jia Daishan asked with a smile, and then his face suddenly changed.

Although Zhang Song is related to him by marriage, the relationship can only be regarded as an acquaintance with strangers, and they usually just nod their heads when they go to court.Today he specially asked Jia Lian to bring him these words, which will definitely not be simple.If it wasn't for something that would affect Jia Lian, the old man probably wouldn't have reminded him of this at all.

Jia Daihua of the Ningguo Mansion is currently holding the actual position of the Jingying Jiedushi, and has nothing to do with the Yingying Division.Jia Jing is still nesting in the Imperial Academy, and has nothing to do with the Food Division!Then, a sixth-rank official under the Food and Beverage Department went to Yangshengtang to take care of a daughter. Why did Jia Jing come forward to make a match? !

Jia Daishan had to think deeply about this.After dispelling the idea of ​​having dinner with Jia Lian and letting him go back to his yard, Jia Daishan recruited Jiang Jie and asked him to inquire into the inside story of Qin Bangye's adoption of his daughter in detail.In particular, what is the identity of the adopted baby girl.

Jia Lian walked back to the courtyard very slowly, he was thinking about Qin Keqing's problem.Grandpa Jia Daishan's face became very ugly after hearing his question, there must be something tricky about it.What he couldn't figure out was that Jia Daishan reacted so strongly to this, how did Qin Keqing become the wife of the Jia family in her previous life?

With Jia Daishan's status in the Jia family, if he objected, it would be impossible for the East Mansion to disobey him.Could it be that Jia Daishan didn't even know about Qin Keqing's existence in his previous life?

Jia Lian felt that this speculation was very likely, but he still couldn't figure out why this life would change.

At this time, Mrs. Zhang was supposed to be serving Jia Shishi for dinner with Mrs. Wang at the Rongqing Hall, so Jia Lian's two servants just followed him and did not rush him.

Ever since he officially went to the Zhang clan to study at the age of five, the Zhang clan and Jia Amnesty each assigned him a servant.One is named Fengjian, the youngest son of his nanny Zhao Nanny, who is only about three months older than him; the other is called Pingshu, sent by Jia She, who looks three years older than him.

Jia Lian only knew that this handful of books was also the son of Rongguo Mansion's family. The old lady was in charge of washing and washing the clothes of the house owner's children. The old father passed away due to illness not long after he was born.

Speaking of which, the names of "Fengjian" and "Pengshu" were not chosen by Jia Lian but by the system.Jia Lian felt that this name was nothing, it had more practical meaning than the "sweeping red" and "hoe medicine" around Jia Baoyu in his previous life, so he used it directly.

I just don't know why, but he always had a weird feeling when he first pronounced these two names.Later, as time passed, this feeling disappeared, making him think it was just an illusion.

Just when he was racking his brains to analyze the conjecture but was still at a loss, the system finally didn't want to listen to the "why" in his consciousness to explain it to him.

[Your mother passed away a long time ago in the previous life, the Jia family and the Zhang family should be very tense.In this case, do you think your grandfather will remind your grandfather? 】

The sudden sound of the system didn't frighten Jia Lian. Isn't he just wanting the system to clear up his confusion by bombarding him in his mind like that.After bowing his head and smiling slyly, he asked consciously.

[I still don't understand why my grandfather pays so much attention to Qin Keqing? 】

【…】

If the system had hands, it would probably be very helpless.After training Jia Lian for so long, his analytical ability is still so poor. If he can really become a powerful minister, the system will feel that he is not ordinary great.

[Jia Lian, do you think it will be easy to seize the heir? 】

Jia Lian shook his head consciously.

【So, how long do you think the Seventh Prince planned before taking the throne? 】

Jia Lian's footsteps stopped, but he felt a chill behind him, and he hesitated to speak.

【How old is the Seventh Prince now, can't he? 】

The Ninth Prince is only six years old in half a year, and the Seventh Prince is about six years older than him.Children who are less than 12 years old start to think about seizing the heir. Even if Jia Lian knows that the children of the royal family are generally precocious, this precocity is too exaggerated, right? !

【This is the gap between you and the Seventh Prince.So he was able to become the master of the world in his previous life, but you died on the road of exile. 】

Although it was a cold tone with no ups and downs, Jia Lian could still hear the contempt in it, but he had long been accustomed to the system's attitude towards him.I just don’t know why, the system looks down on him in various ways but helps him to be reborn and trains him.

[You should be very clear about the identity of the Seventh Prince.If the crown prince can take over, he will be safe.But what if the prince cannot take over? 】

There are three empresses before and after Emperor Longxu.

The first empress was the Xiao family who came from a famous family after Emperor Longxu ascended the throne.The Xiao family was the main concubine of Emperor Longxu when he was the prince, and died of illness shortly after the current crown prince was named the prince of the palace when he was two years old.The Xiao family and Emperor Longxu's young husband and wife, although they have never played in harmony, they have raised their eyebrows together.

I love this married wife Emperor Longxu very much. Otherwise, I would have turned up so early and asked the only child of the two to be the eldest son. It is a pity that the confidante passed away early, but this also created a new life for her son. condition.The concubine who died in the best years of her life left all the good memories for Emperor Longxu, and she loved the house even more for their two only blood and blood princes.

Emperor Longxu had so many sons and daughters, only the prince was raised by him himself.

Emperor Longxu's second empress was his successor concubine, the true empress of the Yuan Dynasty.Although the queen was beautiful in appearance, she was not in the heart of Emperor Longxu. She died in the harem when she was less than 30 years old, and she was childless all her life.

Emperor Longxu's third empress was Concubine Mei Shu, the biological mother of the Seventh Prince.

After the death of the second empress, the harem must not be left without a master, and all the ministers wrote to ask for the empress to be established.At that time, the ones who were most likely to take the throne were Concubine Zhen, who gave birth to the second and fourth princes, and Concubine Hua Xian, the mother of the third prince. Of the two, Concubine Zhen was the most popular.

Concubine Zhen was born in the Zhen family in Jiangnan.

The Zhen family is not a big family, but the old Fengjun of the Zhen family is the wet nurse of Emperor Longxu.Emperor Longxu's biological mother died young, and before leaving the palace to build the mansion, she was not much different from Xiao Transparent in the palace.There is never a shortage of servants who are uplifted and trampled down, and Mrs. Zhen has always been by his side to take care of him and protect him, and her status in Emperor Longxu's heart is similar to that of his mother.

Concubine Zhen's appearance is not top-notch, but she has a basic understanding of Emperor Longxu's habits and hobbies.In addition, she is the youngest daughter of the Zhen family, and Emperor Longxu loved her very much. Since entering the palace, she has been honored and favored constantly. Later, she even gave birth to two princes and three princesses. It is not unreasonable to say that she is the No. 1 in the harem. Pass.

However, this harem No. 1 was still not as good as his crown prince in Emperor Longxu's heart, so when he became queen, he did not hesitate to choose Concubine Mei Shu, who had only one princess among the four concubines.The successor is also the first wife, no matter which one of the concubine Zhen Gui or Hua Xian is superior, their son will become the first son, which will affect the status of the prince.

Concubine Mei Shu, who had always been indifferent in the harem, accepted the pie that fell from the sky. She received the phoenix seal and the golden book at the canonization ceremony, and became the mother of the Daqing Dynasty.Empress Mei's father, Mei Yi, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, resigned directly after winning the title of Cheng'en Gong, and went home.

The Mei family can't compare to the Prince's family, the Xiao family, but they also have a good reputation in Qingliu.It's just that no matter how much reputation he has, he has no real power in his hands. Mei Yi of the Mei family is the highest official of his generation, and he is only a bachelor of the Fifth Rank Imperial Academy.The rest of the Mei family members are released, and the highest one is only from the fifth rank.

Empress Mei was originally the side concubine of Emperor Longxu. After Emperor Longxu ascended the throne, she became one of the four concubines due to her qualifications and having a daughter.With her status and the knowledge of the Mei family, Emperor Longxu didn't have to worry about the problems of his relatives, nor did he have to worry that she would pose a threat to the prince after she gave birth to the prince.

Going to the queen's dormitory on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year is the rule of the harem of all dynasties. Empress Mei gave birth to the seventh prince two years later.

Under the tutelage of Empress Mei, the seventh prince has been cute and cute since he was a child, and he is very close to his elder brother, the prince who is 15 years older than him.No matter in the study room or other aspects, the Seventh Prince was never the best performer among Emperor Longxu's sons, but he was not the worst either.He is always above average, and he can get the praise of Emperor Longxu without arousing the fear of other brothers.

Thinking of this, Jia Lian suddenly realized that this was what the system meant.Even if the Seventh Prince is keeping a low profile, he will not be able to erase his identity as the son of the eldest son. It's okay for the prince to be in the top position, but he will not do anything to this younger brother who is very different in age from him.If other princes came to power, the life of Empress Mei and the Seventh Prince would be difficult.

【Got it? 】

Jia Lian nodded, then smiled wryly.

[System, you still have a lot to say, right?For example, the relationship between the Mei family and the Zhang family, for example, the Xiao family, the Zhen family and the Hua family...it's really too complicated. 】

[The harem involves the politics of the previous dynasty, how could it not be complicated.Jia Lian, some words are too clear but meaningless.Since you want to be a powerful minister, you must learn to think for yourself.No one can help you for a lifetime, even if it is your aide, can you guarantee that he will not betray you? 】

[You have to remember that if you want to be a powerful minister with a good death, in a certain respect, you are not much different from a lonely minister. 】

Jia Lian didn't understand the meaning of the system's words. There was a big difference between powerful ministers and lonely ministers, so how could they be the same.But he won't refute the system, maybe he can't understand it now, and one day he will suddenly understand it.

This kind of thing has happened many times, he can be said to be used to it, although to say so is to admit that his IQ is not good.You know, when he first learned the meaning of "IQ" from the system, he was depressed for almost half a month.

Sure enough, it was exactly as the system said.He inherited too many bad things from Jia She, if he was more like Zhang, his IQ would not have been despised by the system all the time.

[Don't care about powerful ministers and lonely ministers, I just feel terrible now.There is such a big net behind, and the Seventh Prince has always disliked nobles, coupled with the behind-the-scenes / behind-the-scenes pushers, it is strange that the Rongguo Mansion does not raid the house.System, I have a question, can you answer me? 】

【what? 】

Stepping into the courtyard of the big house, Jia Lian lowered his head.

[Did Erfang really inherit the title of Rongguo Mansion in her previous life? 】

After a long silence, the system responded.

[I've been thinking about when you will ask, but I didn't expect you to ask at this time. 】

[When I was reborn at first, I thought Rongguo Mansion's downfall was because the second room did a lot of things but ended up pushing it to the big room.But in this life, I have seen too much, and I have to suspect that the Rongguo Mansion will go to that step, but it is not just a matter of the second wife. 】

Jia Lian went back to the room and changed into easy-to-move clothes under the service of Mo Yi and Hua Qing.His beautiful peach blossom eyes were half closed: "Is mother back?"

"Grandma hasn't come back yet." Huaqing took a cup of tea and put it down, "Grandma just sent a message back, Brother Lian, if you are hungry, you can send food first, don't wait for her."

Picking up the teacup and taking a sip, Jia Lian continued to ask, "Where's father?"

"Master is in the main room." Mo Yi tidied up Jia Lian's changed clothes and walked back and forth, "Do you want to pass on the meal, Brother Lian?"

Jia Lian shook his head: "Tell me when my mother comes back, I will have dinner with my parents. Go down first."

"Yes." The two maids bowed their knees and retreated. The system didn't speak again until their figures disappeared behind the screen.

[The title of Rongguo Mansion in the previous life ended with your father.After Jia Baoyu was released from prison, he did not return to the second room. He left home with the monks and Taoists who had treated him and Wang Xifeng.Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang returned to Jinling, but it was a pity that the sacrificial land in Rongguo Mansion had been secretly sold by Mrs. Wang, and the couple's life was very difficult.Li Wan and Jia Lan had the best lives, but because Jia Lan could not take the imperial examination, he took Wu. 】

Jia Lian listened expressionlessly, until she finally said that Li Wan's mother and son raised eyebrows and sneered.

[So, it is Li Wan's mother and son who died well in Jia's house? 】

[Jia Lan died on the battlefield when he was just getting some grades, and Li Wan lost his son in middle age after being a widow when he was young. 】

Jia Lian kept sneering, the ending of the Rongguo Mansion in his previous life was really... completely destroyed.

[System, I finally understand the tasks you issued.It's a separate clan and a separate family. If I don't leave their pig teammates, no matter how hard I try in this life, I can't escape the miserable ending of my previous life, right? 】

[The members of your Jia family are all typical models that you will not die if you don't die, including you in your previous life. 】

No matter what Jia Lian said afterward, the system never appeared again.He has communicated enough with the system today. Although there are still many doubts that have not been completely resolved, Jia Lian cannot rely entirely on the system.He only knows the tip of the iceberg of the huge relationship network behind the Zhang family. In order to prevent the Rongguo Mansion from following the old path, he must be the companion of King Zhongshun this time.

Emperor Longxu attached great importance to the selection of the companions of the Nine Princes. Empress Mei has always been quite famous and treated the princes and princesses equally in the palace, so naturally she would not leave any excuses at this time.

There are twelve accompanying candidates, ranging in age from the youngest, Jia Lian, who is under six years old, to the oldest, the grandson of Zhenguo Bull Qing, who is nine years old.The examinations for them were divided into two categories: civil and martial arts, probably because the princes of the Daqing Dynasty studied literature in the morning and martial arts in the afternoon.

In the end, there are two accompanying readers, according to the convention, one should be from a general and the other from a civil servant.It is not clear who the final candidate for the civil servants is, but Jia Lian has basically been confirmed for the generals.At the beginning, some people were still dissatisfied, but when the results of the school examination came out, everyone was convinced by Jia Lian's victory.

In the pavilion shaded by flowers and trees not far from the school grounds, two teenagers and a little boy pointed to the accompanying candidates for the school examination with great interest.Among them, the handsome young man wearing a royal blue gown with handsome eyebrows and starry eyes said to the young man in Tsing Yi with a faint smile on his face, "That's the cousin you always talk about? It's really good."

Zhang Mao, a young man in Tsing Yi, nodded: "That is my aunt's only son, Jia Lian. Speaking of which, His Highness the Seventh Prince often visits my house, this is the first time I see him."

"The timing is not coincidental, so I will see you now." The seventh prince looked sideways at the little boy who was wearing a prince's uniform and had baby fat on his face, "Ninth brother, if there is no accident, that Jia Lian is One of your companions, what do you think?"

The Ninth Prince raised his head and blinked, then pouted and said, "Seventh Brother, even if I don't want him to be my companion, can't I?"

"Why, the ninth brother thinks he is not suitable?" The seventh prince raised his eyebrows.

"That Jia Lian is pretty, but he is so powerful, how can he listen to me." The Ninth Prince said flatly, "Seventh Brother, I don't want many companions around me to point fingers at me."

The seventh prince's black eyes dimmed for a moment, and then he immediately became clear again. He patted the ninth prince's head, and he smiled and comforted him: "You think too much, ninth brother. You are the prince, you are the master and he is the subject. How could he be right?" You make irresponsible remarks."

"Seventh brother said so, so I feel relieved." Ninth prince nodded old-fashionedly, "Yesterday, the eldest nephew of the second royal brother's family told me that you must be careful when choosing a companion. If I keep him in check, my life in the study will be in dire straits."

The black eyes narrowed slightly to hide the sharpness in them, and the thin lips that the Seventh Prince inherited from Queen Mei tightly pressed together.

The Ninth Prince is the youngest son of Emperor Longxu, and his biological mother is a nobleman of ordinary background.After giving birth, he collapsed and was carried to the Queen's Yongshou Palace under the arrangement of Emperor Longxu.Although the jade certificate has not been changed, the Ninth Prince can be regarded as the queen's adopted son, half a legitimate son.

Now that Emperor Longxu is getting old, there are some clues to the battle between the crown prince and the previous grown-up princes.Empress Mei's line is tough in the eyes of everyone in the harem and the former court, and can be regarded as a relatively important force in the harem.Now that the eldest son of the Second Prince talks to the Ninth Prince in such a way, if he says that no one will arrange for the Seventh Prince, he will not believe it.

This harem is indeed as cold and cruel as the queen mother said. Those battles are not something you can't be contaminated if you don't want to.Whether it's the queen mother or him, they have always acted indifferent to the world, but these people still want to attack them!

Kneeling down, the Seventh Prince and the Ninth Prince looked at each other eye level: "Ninth Brother, Brother Seven already understands what you want to say. Don't worry, Brother Seven will definitely protect you and the Queen Mother."

The Ninth Prince nodded and clenched his small fists: "I will also protect the Seventh Brother and the Queen Mother!"

Since he was sensible, he knew that his mother was not his own mother, but his mother had always taken care of him in every possible way. The mother's love given to him by his mother was not much different from that of his seventh brother and fifth sister.What's more, his father personally told him that his mother and concubine begged his father to give him to his mother to raise him before she died.

In the entire harem, the mother and concubine only trust the queen.

This is not what the father told him, this is what the Ninth Prince found out through the manpower arranged by his natal family.Moreover, the special relationship between the concubine mother and the queen mother is currently only known to him and the queen mother in the entire harem, and will only be known to them forever.

The blood collapse of the concubine mother was not God's will but man-made. The Ninth Prince couldn't protect her at that time, but now he will try his best to protect his other mother.

Outsiders thought that the relationship between the Ninth Prince and the Empress was just a matter of affection. After all, he was surrounded by eunuchs and maids from various forces, but in fact, the Empress was his mother, and the Fifth Sister and Seventh Brother that the Empress gave birth to were him. My sister and brother!

"Xiao Jiu, you are still young!" The Seventh Prince's eyes were gentle, and he patted the Ninth Prince's shoulder heavily, "You don't have to think about such complicated issues before you grow up, Seventh Brother will protect you. So you now My goal is to grow up well.”

Rolling his eyes, the Ninth Prince pouted: "Only the seventh brother, you and the queen mother always think I am a child. Look at how other people treat me as a child. If I were really a child, I would have been a scumbag in this harem." There are none left." Then he snorted coldly and raised his head to look at Zhang Mao who was standing aside, "Hey, are you sure that your cousin Jia Lian will not have any problems? The reputation of Jia She in the Rongguo Mansion is long in the palace. The older one also knows, how can his son be so different?"

"Your Highness Ninth Prince can try it first. If you are not satisfied, just go to the Holy Master and cry a bit, and you can replace him." Zhang Mao said neither humble nor overbearing.

The Ninth Prince's face changed slightly, he gave him a hard look and then stopped talking.If it weren't for Zhang Mao who was needed by Seventh Brother, he wouldn't just let him go!You know, if the palace dares to run on him like this, the end result will either be that he finds a way to get him out of the cold palace, or he will be rolled up on a mat and sent to a mass grave outside the city.

His age is one of his great strengths, if he doesn't use this time to cry at his father's side to get some benefits, what will he do in the future?It takes a lot of money to go out of the palace and build a mansion, and the small amount of money given by the Ministry of Internal Affairs is not enough!After all, the help his parents can give him is limited, and his mother...

The Mei family was originally a scholarly world, and they didn't have much money.Empress Mei didn't think about money no matter whether she was in the backyard of the palace or after entering the palace, and there were not many who could give them three brothers and sisters.The fifth sister married to the Wang family in Beijing last year as a princess, and the queen mother took most of her own dowry to add makeup to her, and there was really not much left.

He and Seventh brother will have a lot of places to spend money in the future, so what if he doesn't take advantage of the present to get more money from his father.

The Seventh Prince didn't care about the little joke between Zhang Mao and the Ninth Prince.Although the Ninth Prince is young, he has a sense of proportion, and Zhang Mao is his confidant. Even if the two have disagreements, they will never make mistakes in major matters. The Seventh Prince still has this confidence.

Jia Lian, the Seventh Prince, had known about it for a long time, and he also knew Zhang Song's evaluation of this grandson.For the Seventh Prince, Jia Lian might indeed be a talent, but before that, he was just a child who was not yet five years old. The Seventh Prince valued Jia Daishan behind him more.

It is not an exaggeration for Jia Daishan to say that he is an old fox among generals.Since the founding of the Daqing Dynasty, only he, the second generation of the Eight Dukes, has returned as the Duke of the country.One of the reasons for this was that he didn't stand in line and rescue him, but it was also one of the reasons why he simply handed over the military power.

However, Jia Daishan joined the army when he was a teenager, and he had been in the army for more than 20 years when he left the army.Even if the military power is not in his hands, his connections in the army will not be dissipated immediately.In the past two years, Jia Daishan went to the border of northern Xinjiang to stay for nearly two years. Isn't this network strengthened again?

The Seventh Prince didn't want to get involved in the battle between his brothers, but at least, he must have the ability to protect himself.Jia Daishan is the only one he can intervene in today's military forces.Therefore, the Seventh Prince is happy to see that Zhang Song took a little way to add Jia Lian's name to the selection list for the ninth younger brother's companion reading.

Zhang Mao really understood his heart, so he could also understand the hidden hints.

Of course, Zhang Song's old fox is even more powerful, but a few plausible words from Zhang Mao can make his wish come true.

I don't know what about Jia Lian who has two elder foxes?

The Seventh Prince has heard that Jia Lian has both civil and military skills at a young age, but the problem is that someone who is both civil and military is not necessarily the talent he needs.Whether to be a pawn in his hand or a chess player in his hand depends on Jia Lian himself.I believe that Jia Lian will not disappoint him, after all, he is highly praised by Zhang Song.
