[Red Mansion] Jia Lian, son of a family

Chapter 28

Without waiting for the crowd to approach, the little eunuch who accepted the red envelopes from Jia Lian and the two hurried down and knelt down: "Dai Quan pays respects to the Seventh and Ninth Highnesses."

"Get up." The Seventh Prince did not hold the Ninth Prince's hand and helped him, then looked up at Jia Lian and Shang Qing with a smile, "The two are the companions chosen by the Father for the Ninth Brother, right?"

Monk Jia Lian hurriedly raised his hands and bowed in a bow: "I have seen His Majesty the Seventh Prince, and I have seen His Majesty the Ninth Prince."

"Excuse me, please stand up." The smile on the Seventh Prince's face was as warm and non-stinging as spring in March.

Shang Qing only felt that the Seventh Prince born by Empress Mei was really approachable. Thinking of his father Shang Wenjie's Chunchun teaching last night, he looked at the Seventh Prince with a little more kindness.The companion of the Ninth Prince was honored by Emperor Longxu's imperial decree. Shang Wenjie came up with a countermeasure for this, which was to make Shang Qing get closer to the Seventh Prince who was the prince/son/party in the upper study.

In Shang Wenjie's view, the prince has won the love and trust of Emperor Longxu, and whether he himself is in the rotation of the six departments or officially entered the imperial court, his actions are quite regal, and it is a certainty that the prince will eventually ascend to the Great Treasure .

For Shang Wenjie, the fact that Shang Qing had a good relationship with the Seventh Prince and thus voted for the prince was not considered to be the Shang family's stance. After all, the prince was personally appointed by Emperor Longxu, and they followed the prince, also following the will of Emperor Longxu.Besides, Shang Qing is only a child under the age of eight, and he is willing to get close to the Seventh Prince, isn't it also because of the Seventh Prince's affinity?

Shang Wenjie made two-handed preparations for this, but unfortunately he didn't realize that the emperor's thoughts were not something he, a courtier, could calculate casually.If the main development track of this world is still similar to Jia Lian's previous life, can the Seventh Prince tolerate this kind of courtier who uses him as a pedal?

Shang Qing was naturally aware of Jia Lian's closeness to the Seventh Prince, and he just frowned slightly.Although his purpose of entering the palace was also the favor of the Seventh Prince, but he knew something deeply.He, Jia Lian, entered the palace as the companion of the Ninth Prince, even if the Seventh Prince had a good relationship with the Ninth Prince, he couldn't be closer to the Seventh Prince than he was to the Ninth Prince.

He will eventually be the courtier of the Seventh Prince, but before that, his master is the Ninth Prince!

Jia Lian believed that he was the Seventh Prince in his eyes today. The little eunuch named Dai Quan didn't know who he was, so why wouldn't he know?This is the future internal eunuch in charge of the Daming Palace, and the confidant eunuch after the Seventh Prince ascends the throne!

In her previous life, Jia Lian had seen this eunuch at Qin Keqing's funeral, and Jia Zhen even spent 5000 taels of silver from this eunuch to buy Jia Rong a vain position as a five-rank dragon guard.Fortunately, the appearance of this eunuch has not changed much from that of twenty years ago, otherwise Jia Lian would have recognized this eunuch at the Meridian Gate.

Just knowing that this is the seventh prince, Jia Lian will be careful in everything.He had keenly sensed that someone was observing them during the selection process, and he believed that since then, the Seventh and Ninth Princes had already begun to evaluate them, who were the companions for the selection.

Jia Lian didn't want his scores to be too low from the two Highnesses, after all, it was closely related to his future.He still has confidence in his performance all the time.Although the system has always only punished him and never praised him, he has learned a lot after studying in the Zhang family for nearly two years.

Today's Jia Lian never wants to look back on the past unless necessary, not because the past was too unbearable, but because he felt that he was too stupid in the past.He couldn't believe it, why did he trust Erfang so much in his previous life, and he couldn't even believe that he turned a blind eye to the obvious things that happened in the capital!

But in any case, with a lifetime of experience, Jia Lian has a much sharper grasp of people's hearts than children of the same age.Coupled with the fact that the system made him read all kinds of history books and related documents, Shang Qing, a real child, cannot compare with him, a fake child.

On the way to the study, he stepped harder, not only did not want to intensify the small flaws between him and Shang Qing into conflicts, but also wanted to let Dai Quan know that he was far more mature than his peers.No matter where you are, someone who knows how to look at people will always be more pleasing.

Jia Lian was very good at observing words and emotions in his previous life, but there are very few people who can treat him like this.Having been severely tuned/taught by the system in this life, Jia Lian is more perceptive than in her previous life.Not only because he has a deeper grasp of people's hearts, but also because practicing martial arts has strengthened his five senses.And after knowing that his target is a powerful minister, the system also showed him books and documents such as the study of emperors that even the Imperial Academy could not have!

If you want to become a powerful minister under the emperor, it is impossible if you can't understand the emperor's thoughts and methods.

Jia Lian, who grew up under such conditions, dare not say that he knows the thoughts of the Seventh Prince well, but at least a deduction can still be made.As for the increasingly turbid water in the capital, Jia Lian also knew a little bit.When he knew the relationship between the Zhang family and the Seventh Prince, who was the victor, he already had some understanding, but now, he knew that the Jia family could not escape from this whirlpool.

And in his previous life, the Jia family actually participated in the seizure of the heir apparent without his knowledge.Although the memory is not very clear, Jia Lian still remembers that shortly after Jia Daishan's death, the coup d'etat in the prince's palace failed and Emperor Longxu deposed him as Prince Yizhong, and then the Rongguo Mansion was raided once.

The involvement of the Rongguo Mansion that time should not be very serious, or Emperor Longxu didn't pay attention to the face of the late Rongguo Gong Jia Daishan, so the Rongguo Mansion was preserved.However, it was precisely because of this inspection that the vitality of the Rongguo Mansion was severely damaged. Otherwise, the masters of the Jia family would not have fallen to the point of living without food so quickly, no matter how prodigal they were.

As for the professor of emperor studies, the system taught him directly using the events of the Seventh Prince as a textbook.It was also because of this that Jia Lian, who had no contact with the Seventh Prince in his previous life, was confident that he could win his favor.

The seventh prince is a person who makes decisions before acting. He may have had thoughts about his position before he got involved in the battle for the throne, but he is not as persistent as the other adult princes.It is also because of the calmness and wisdom of him and his mother, Empress Mei, that the mother and son can finally become the victors in the harem.

For the Seventh Prince, there are only two choices, either the crown prince takes the position, or he takes the position.

In addition, no matter which of his brothers finally boarded the dragon chair, he and his mother would not have a good end.Among them, the Ninth Prince was also included.Regardless of how close the Ninth Prince is to Empress Mei and him, no one can guarantee that the Ninth Prince will not change before such a huge interest in the throne.

The seventh prince is not willing to lose the younger brother of the ninth prince, and even less willing for his mother to lose the son of the ninth prince.If the crown prince fails in the battle with those grown princes, he must guarantee that he will be chosen by Emperor Longxu.

For this, he must have power.

The Zhang family is the power he chooses among civil servants, and the Jia family is the power he chooses among the military.Zhang Mao has become his confidant, whether Jia Lian becomes his confidant or becomes a pawn depends on Jia Lian himself.

"Thank you, Seventh Highness." Suppressing the thoughts in his heart, Jia Lian thanked him before standing up straight and facing the two princes.The smile on the lips of the Seventh Prince was still so warm, but the Ninth Prince looked at him and Shang Qing with a somewhat dangerous gaze.

Jia Lian's eyes twitched when he thought about Shang Qing's handsome face with baby fat, and his delicate face, and when he thought about all the absurd deeds of King Zhongshun in his previous life who was famous in the capital.I just hope that His Highness the Ninth Prince doesn't think what he thinks.

"You don't need to be so polite." His Royal Highness smiled and patted the head of the Ninth Prince next to him, and said in a doting tone, "My Ninth Brother is a bit naughty, and the two of you will take care of him more in the future."

"Your Highness Seventh speaks seriously, it is my honor to be the companion of His Highness Ninth Highness." Jia Lian said respectfully with her head bowed slightly.

The Seventh Prince can say that about the Ninth Prince, but his little companion can't.If the prince couldn't finish the teacher's homework or fail to answer the questions, those who were punished were those young servants who were not as good as their companions, but their companions didn't have any good results.

Accompanying readers who can't play a role in urging the prince to study hard are unqualified.

Jia Lian has never had contact with King Zhongshun, but he has heard something about this prince.This prince's personality is not very good, although it is not clear whether he is hiding his clumsiness or just like that, but Jia Lian is still his servant no matter what status he has.The Ninth Prince is cute and cute in front of the Seventh Prince, but Jia Lian is a servant of the royal family, so the Ninth Prince's attitude can be imagined.

The only possibility is that the fact that the royal family has no children, as Zhang told him in private, is true.If the Ninth Prince's mind was more than that of a six-year-old kid, he would probably value him as a companion from a family of generals.

Shang Qing, who was beside Jia Lian, glanced at him contemptuously. Fortunately, he had a good impression of Jia Lian before, but he was no different from those military generals who came from nouveau riche.With a father who is the Minister of Rites, Shang Qing has been in contact with various etiquettes since he was born.

The status of the prince is high, but there is no need to put himself in such a low position like Jia Lian.One of them is the youngest son of a first-rank civil servant, and the other is the eldest son of the eldest son of the Duke of Chaopin. They don't need to be too careful when facing the bald-headed underage prince without any position or title!

Among the many princes of Emperor Longxu, only the crown prince, the crown prince, needs to be treated with caution. After all, this is the future emperor.

Besides, the Seventh Prince is so approachable, Jia Lian's way of acting makes it difficult for the Seventh Prince.

Thinking this way, Shang Qing stood up straight with his head held high, facing the scrutiny of the two princes.Normally, his father taught him that "power cannot be subdued, and wealth cannot be promiscuous", so he should have done it, right?

Shang Qing didn't know that if Shang Wenjie knew that his beloved youngest son had such weird ideas, he would never dare to send him into the palace.No title and no real job, he is still a prince. Can the emperor's son be compared with the son of a minister's family!

Shang Qing is the youngest son of Shang Wenjie who was born in his late [-]s. He has already had an eldest son who can inherit the family business, so the Shang family loves and favors this youngest son.In addition, this child is quite smart, so it is not surprising that he will be pampered into his current personality.
