[Red Mansion] Queen's Road

After Jia Baoyu's illness recovered, Lin Daiyu's illness also recovered.

This made Linlin feel better. She also knew when her sister was sick, and Jia Min told Linlin about Lin Daiyu's nonsense.

Others don't know what it means, but Linlin can more or less guess it.

At this time, Linlin is more and more sure that there are really ghosts and ghosts in this world, but the ghosts and ghosts are far and close to her.

So much so that she has been hesitating whether to tell this matter or not, and she has a hunch that it is not good to tell, so she has been hesitating, causing her to think wildly for several days.

This kind of cranky thinking and something wrong was noticed by the emperor, and he thought she was worried about Xiezhi.

The emperor put his arms around Linlin's shoulders to comfort her with some pride. "Don't worry, our son will never wake up in the middle of the night again."

Linlin inevitably asked him why.

"Didn't I bring back that piece of jade from your cousin last time? I think this is the root cause of what happened in the past few days. But I have sealed this stone with an imperial decree and asked Xiao Guo to bury it in the west. I went to the intersection.

The place at West Street Crossing is the place where Qiuhou asked to be cut, and the blood seeped into the ground. No matter if it is a demon or a god or Buddha, they are all afraid of these unclean things.Buried below will definitely not come out to be a demon again. "

Linlin felt amazed when she heard the emperor's operation.

"You are not afraid of people's sudden counterattack..." Speaking of this, I think my sister's fever may have something to do with this incident.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to continue, he heard the emperor say something puzzled. "It stands to reason that if you buried this piece of jade in the ground in such a dark place, those monsters should never appear again. Unexpectedly, these two monsters still appeared, and your cousin brought out another piece of jade , I almost couldn't hold back and asked Xiao Guo to dig out that piece of jade to see if it was the one we buried."

"That……"

"Don't worry, there are people watching you in that place, and no one has planed that place so far. It's just that the methods of these gods and ghosts are really unpredictable. It seems that it is urgent to determine the genealogy of the gods."

Speaking of this, he comforted Linlin not to think too much, "If you think too much, you will become suspicious. Just forget about it and take care of the children at home. If there is something wrong with Qilin, you can help solve it Yes. Life is not just about competing with others, but also about having fun with yourself."

It's the first day of the new year again, and the natal families of the ladies in the palaces come to pay their respects.

Jia Min has always avoided entering the palace with other people, because in this way he can avoid meeting the Jia family.

Mrs. Wang is happy to see the success of this matter, because of Concubine Jia, at the beginning of the ranking, their Rongguo Mansion stood in the first position.

Later, after Concubine Dong Gui was made a noble concubine, the members of the Dong family had to line up side by side with them.

Fortunately, the people from Dong's family are all juniors. They always hold the junior ceremony in front of the old lady of Rongguo Mansion. They are very humble and never argue with these concubines and family members.

A group of people went to meet the Queen Mother first, but the Queen Mother was still listless and asked them to meet the queen.

Linlin has always met these people two or three times out of ten.

This time I met these people, and I held Xiezhi in my arms every day before, and I was reluctant to let him go during this time, so I still took my son in my arms to meet these women.

It's just that in Linlin's opinion, the old ladies in Rongguo Mansion are used to superficiality.Seeing Linlin hugging her youngest son this time, she had a kind smile on her face, "Congratulations, Madam, in a blink of an eye, Madam has also raised four highnesses... These days go so fast..."

Before I finished speaking, I still wanted to talk.

Linlin deliberately didn't see her wanting to speak, she also said a few words, and asked them to take them to the courtyards of the concubines.

Concubine Dong's two natal nephews and daughters-in-law spoke well of Concubine Yan when they saw Concubine Dong and Princess Shouchun.

"We all know that this son-in-law is the good son-in-law of our princess. Many people have come to our house, wanting to take advantage of our relatives, begging the son-in-law to let them live. The old man and the old man in the family have no one. See, drive out those who came to intercede."

When I said this, I felt a sense of elation. The Dong family’s aggrieved life has passed for more than ten years, and maybe they will continue to live in the future, but now there is a turning point. The princess’s son-in-law used to I don't think it's good enough, but now it looks like I have some skills.As long as he can get online with the consort through the relationship of the princess, then he will not be as embarrassing as before when he will help him.

Concubine Dong Gui had been in the deep palace for a long time and didn't know what happened outside. After hearing what her natal nephew and daughter-in-law said, she immediately felt relieved after hearing the cause and effect.

Holding Princess Shouchun's hand, "My good boy, it's really your father who loves you. As long as a man is capable, he will be able to stand out sooner or later."

Princess Shouchun was a little distraught, her stomach was full at this moment, she would rather her son-in-law come back quickly than stay in the south.

"Mother and concubine, don't say that, seeing the baby in my belly is getting bigger and bigger, and it will be born soon, and the son-in-law has not come back, I feel uncomfortable."

Concubine Dong Gui hugged her daughter distressedly and quickly coaxed her.The two daughter-in-laws of the Dong family also gathered around and said something to comfort the princess.

The female family members of Rongguo Mansion looked different when they came to Concubine Jia.

The old lady first told Concubine Jia that Jia Baoyu's illness was cured, "After being ill, seeing him know that he has made progress, and now he can read some books patiently. The master is very happy to hear that."

Concubine Jia folded her hands together, "Amitabha, this is truly blessed by our ancestors."

Then he took a deep breath, "Speaking of which, no matter how good the outside world is, it's not as good as ourselves. I don't know if there are other things going on at home, and I don't know what happened outside. alright."

The old lady took out a stack of silver bills from her sleeve and handed it to Concubine Jia, "It's true that the outside world is not peaceful, but it has nothing to do with our family. As long as your mother is safe and sound in the palace, our family will be able to stand upright."

Concubine Jia took the money, "You don't have to give me so much in the future, what will you do if you give it to my family?"

Mrs. Wang is a little proud, knowing that the old lady got these bank notes from the Zhen family some time ago, and now they spend them on her children, even if they fall into her own hands, "Don't worry, Madam, there is plenty of money in the house. Jiangnan The Zhen family, do you still remember, Madam?"

"If you forget, no one can forget their family. Now the noble concubine of their family is still sick. A while ago, I heard that the concubines in the palace will be served. I don't know what happened, but nothing happened."

The old lady and Mrs. Wang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other, and the old lady still said, "As long as the mother is well, our family can stand upright. The Zhen family is not in a good place now. There were several major cases in Jiangnan a while ago. They were involved. Not long after, the steward of their family entered the capital with some silver and hid some in the homes of these relatives and friends."

Concubine Jia Guifei has been cautious for a while, and was a little surprised when she heard this sentence, "Is it possible that the family has collected their money? How is this done? Has anyone discovered it? If someone finds out, they will definitely have to recover the money. At that time, the face will be trampled on the ground."

The old lady quickly appeased Concubine Jia, "Don't worry, Madam, no one knows that we took this money."

Concubine Jia was completely troubled by the incident of Dong Gui's life as a princess last time, "The old lady is wrong. If you don't want people to know the things in this world unless you don't do it yourself, it's the best plan, maybe someone is watching from the side. .”

Mrs. Wang heard that her daughter wanted to return the money, but she was a little unhappy after all, "Don't worry, ma'am, it's not our family who collected the money in the capital. The law does not blame the public, and everyone will lose face together. At worst, we will lose face." Some money has been handed over, but we have the final say on how much money to hand over."

Concubine Jia shook her head, "Madam's thinking is too simple."

Mrs. Wang didn't care, "Your Majesty, I don't know. Whether it's the old lady of the Jia family or our old lady of the Wang family, they all ransacked their homes. There is a lot of money in this raid. Some money disappeared for no apparent reason. Knowing where it went, these officials and soldiers who confiscated the house teamed up and took it away.

So the imperial court turned a blind eye to this kind of thing.When the time comes to really investigate, even if we collect 1 yuan, as long as it is said to be [-] taels to the outside world, they will have nothing to do with us. This is a matter of investigation without evidence. "

The old lady also said, "Don't worry, ma'am, the money did not come into our hands. The steward of the Zhen family handed over the money to the grandson of the Lai family, Lai Shangrong. Lai Shangrong is free and is now an alternate magistrate. Since he took the money, let's just pretend we don't know and it's over."

"But everyone knows that his parents are slaves of our family."

The old lady didn't care, "Usually the Lai family takes some money from our family. Let's turn a blind eye and close one eye. When the truth comes out, we will say that the Lai family's slaves have betrayed the master long ago and have the guts to steal from the master's house." Dongshi has the courage to use the name of the master to collect money outside. At that time, we will be guilty of laxity, and the matter of collecting money has nothing to do with us."

Mrs. Wang looked at the old lady with admiration, thinking that her skills were far worse than the old lady's.The Lai family is the pig raised by the old lady.

Speaking of this, Concubine Jia felt relieved.

"Since the old lady has an idea in her heart, let's do it according to the old lady's idea."

Sighing, she continued, "Grand Concubine seems to be dying, and now the Zhen family is also in turmoil. I need to change a nobleman."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Rongguo Mansion looked at each other, "What does your mother think?"

"How else can you think about it? At this moment, the only things you can believe in are the old relatives and old friends. The old lady and the wife went back to talk to the elder and second masters at home, and usually walk more with our old relatives. Walk around. Everyone's relationship was good before, and it doesn't make sense to become more and more famous."

Both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law understood, and nodded in agreement together.

Although Concubine Jia knew what to do in the future, but thinking of the current situation, she still couldn't help but sighed again.

"I'm not afraid to tell the old lady and my wife the truth, the palace is cold, and now it's so bustling, I'm a bit unhappy after all."

"Your Majesty, do you want to...?"

"I still want to raise a child. Seeing that I am getting older, I may not be able to have a child in the future." Speaking of this, I couldn't help crying.

The old lady can no longer tell Concubine Jia Gui that "the empress can give birth when she is older than you, and you can also give birth in the future".

Both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were at a loss this time.

Concubine Jia cried for a while and wiped away her tears, "A few days ago, I saw two princesses and a prince who were born this year in front of the Queen Mother. They are so delicate and soft, I can't help but want to hug them, but it's a pity What's more, everyone can't be hugged."

"My lady..."

The old lady and Mrs. Wang burst into tears.

Concubine Jia quickly broke her tears into a smile, "I'm just expressing my feelings. No one will say these words in my heart. I saw the face of my dear ones today, and it can relieve a little bit by saying them. Old ladies and wives must not Take it to heart, by the way, I have some good tea leaves here, and some nice bracelets of gold beads, all ready to be taken away when the old lady and the wife leave, and used by my sisters and Baoyu when I go back. It’s also on my mind.”

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law stood up and thanked the reward. When they left, both of them felt heavy in their hearts.

Mrs. Wang and the old lady, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were on the road discussing what they had just heard in the palace.

Mrs. Wang meant to go to Lin's house and give Jia Min a low look, "Then send our third girl in. If the third girl is younger, you can also send the second girl in.

No matter who gave birth to a boy and a half girl, our mother also has a support.Besides, the sisters are single-minded in the palace, which is better than our empress who has no one to help me now. "

It's not that the old lady didn't think about this method in her heart, but she quickly denied it.

"This matter can't be mentioned again. Our family is not a shabby household. After all, it's not nice for sisters to serve one husband. What's more, the empress can accommodate one cousin, not two cousins."

Mrs. Wang was rubbing her handkerchief vigorously in the car, "The empress is a bit too much, this is not giving our empress a chance to survive. When I came out just now, I asked the maids around the empress, and they said that they usually go to the empress to say hello , the empress empress made things difficult for our empress, this is not a sister but an enemy!"

The old lady was also a little angry when she heard this, but she still scolded Mrs. Wang, "Who can blame this? It's not that you never did anything before."

"The daughter-in-law didn't think too much about it. How could she have thought that the aunt would use the dowry left by the old lady of the Lin family." In her heart, she thought that the queen's dowry, which was still a yellow-haired girl, should not stop Jia Lian from marrying her.

If the master had married into the Rongguo Mansion back then, there wouldn't be so many things going on now.There is money in the family to subsidize the daily life, and the empress in the palace will not live like this.

If I had known today, why bother at the beginning, it would be a lie to say that I don't regret it.

The old lady was also a little angry when she thought about it at the beginning, and felt that Wang was short-sighted.

Forget it, it's all over, it's meaningless to say these things.Let's discuss the matter of the empress in the long run.

Thinking of this, the old lady stretched her hand over the brazier, "It's cold this winter."

"This winter is a bit cold, maybe there will be a heavy snow in a few days. The auspicious snow is a sign of a good harvest. It is a blessing for our royal family to have an auspicious snow." After the emperor said these words in front of his sons, he was thinking about the future. What the imperial doctor said in front of me for a few days is that winter is too cold, and whenever it is extremely cold or hot, it is like going through a difficult time for the elderly.

If you live for one more year, if you don't, you will go to the Hall of the King of Hell to roll your name.

Qilin didn't think about other things, but concentrated on recalling the number of people who died of freezing in previous years.

"In this weather, some beggars may freeze to death. Should we let the Shuntian government step up inspections and let the government open some warehouses to help those beggars?"

The emperor nodded, "In previous years, there were [-] people who froze to death, and [-] or [-] years. Most of them were homeless. It's not that the government didn't say that they would use work for relief, but some people would rather be Beggars don't want to work either."

Zou Wu asked next to him, "Then what should we do? Are they waiting for relief from the court every year?"

The emperor reached out and touched Zou Wu's little head, "It's okay, the affairs in Jiangnan can be dealt with before the Chinese New Year, and when the eldest son-in-law comes back, let him take over the affairs of the capital."

Speaking of this, he said to Bai Ze, "Now you can choose for yourself, whether to take over a little Zhuangzi from your mother's hand as the head of the village, or follow your brother-in-law to help him and be a little official for a while."

Bai Ze looked at his father and then at his brother, feeling a little confused.

"Brother-in-law hasn't come back yet, son, think about it again."

The emperor nodded in agreement, and Zou Wu was just one to join in the fun, "What about me? What is my son going to do?"

"You just need to study more." When the emperor said this, he couldn't help but glance at the eldest son and the second son, thinking that these two boys are not unintelligent, why they are not as clever as Zou Wu.

Look at Zou Wu, he is not reliable at ordinary times, but once he recites poems correctly, he is really talented.All the older brothers above him are not as talented as him.

Thinking of this, the emperor patted the back of his son's head vigorously, "Read more and practice handwriting. Don't people say that Cao Zijian is talented? Let's try to be talented."

After speaking, he lightly patted the back of Zou Wu's head, Zou Wu shamelessly and loudly agreed.

Bai Ze glanced at his younger brother unconvinced, isn't it just that he can write a few crooked poems?

After a while, the snow began to fall heavily outside, and the snow fell heavily. In a blink of an eye, the roof of Miyagi was covered with a layer of snow.

Surrounded by his sons, the emperor felt as if he had stolen half a day's leisure.

Zou Wu squeezed into his father's lap due to his young age, the emperor put his arms around the little son, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "It's still your mother's queen who will name it, 'Zou Wu, as big as a tiger, full of five colors', if you compare five colors To be talented, that’s really right.”

Bai Ze couldn't help it anymore, "Father, this is wrong. My mother regretted giving him this name. My mother always said that I should name him Taotie, otherwise I'm sorry for his mouth. I want to eat everything I see. , Seeing a chair makes me want to take two bites."

"You're talking nonsense. I didn't see the chair and wanted to take a bite. Obviously you wanted me to be called Taotie. I'm sorry, but my mother has already named me. You are late."

Bai Ze snorted deliberately pretending not to care.

Zou Wu puffed up his bun face at his second brother.

At this time, the emperor was very resentful. It would be great if the two daughters were well-behaved.

With one arm around a son, fortunately, Qilin has grown up and won't compete with his younger brothers for favor.

Just as the emperor felt relieved, he saw a eunuch barging in from outside dressed in snow, wiped off the snowflakes on his body at the door, and hurriedly came to the emperor, "report to the emperor, a letter from Xiyuan, saying it is expensive The concubine is not well."

After the emperor heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, "I'm getting old... Just send whatever medicinal materials you want, and you can only do your best and obey the destiny."

The eunuch agreed and withdrew again.The emperor was eager to find his wife to share the good news, so he took the three sons to the Ganlu Hall, and drove the three sons to study in the side hall next to them, and the couple took the youngest son to whisper.

"I'm so happy. It's best to have someone report that the old hag is dead tomorrow. It's a one-hundredth of a thing. The grievances and grievances in life will be wiped out after death. Didn't the old man want her to be buried with him? Just bury her." Together, apart from not having the status of queen mother, even if I am asked to use the queen mother's funeral to bury her, I will recognize it."

"Although I'm happy in my heart, at least I put it on my face."

"What do you collect in front of my wife? You and I know each other so thoroughly. What else do you need to hide? Come here, lady. When it's cold, I will let my husband hug you to keep you warm."

Linlin pushed him, "Be serious, your son is here."

The emperor looked down, and saw that his son was drooling a little, his small mouth moved, and the millet teeth in his mouth could be seen.

"Oh, our Xiezhi has teeth."

"Isn't it? He didn't make any noise when he had teeth, unlike his brothers who made such a noise when they were teething."

The husband and wife lay down together, gently poking his son's small mouth to study his son's millet teeth.

After getting up the next morning, everyone could see the emperor's good mood, and he waited for Xiyuan to report the funeral.But who knew, the people from the West Garden came, but they didn't report a funeral.

"...The imperial concubine survived again, all thanks to an imperial physician surnamed Lu who excelled in acupuncture and moxibustion. The Supreme Emperor rewarded this imperial physician Lu."

The emperor waved his hand, his good mood gone.

The person who came also said a relatively important thing, "The Emperor Taishang means that the concubine should not move easily, so this year the old man will stay in the West Garden, and he also said that this year he can let the officials go to the West Garden to pay homage."

Naturally, the emperor would not take people to the West Garden to worship, and just dismissed the matter with a sentence that was not suitable for etiquette.

But the old scholars in the imperial court felt that it was a bit unsightly for the Supreme Emperor not to return to the palace for the New Year.

He also said that it is time for the elders to be filial to the elders.The princes should be sent to greet the emperor on behalf of the emperor.

These elders who have read poetry and books prefer the prince.

The memorial went on day after day, and the emperor kept pressing it.Thinking that the weather is too cold so as not to make my son suffer. Riding a horse in winter makes me feel terribly cold.Running over to look at the emperor's cold eyes for a while and then running back, no matter how you look at it, it is a painful job.

So the emperor sent Qilin a more painful job, and asked the prince to worship the ancestors on his behalf. "It's the New Year's Eve and go to pay homage to the ancestors. This is what you should do as a prince."

Qilin packed his luggage calmly, and left the city with his guards wrapped up like bears.

This trip will take half a month or a month.

Then the matter of visiting the Supreme Emperor fell on the ministers.

Some of the favorite old ministers who have written and written, some of them have noble positions and no real power.

It was just the right time to send them, and they were different each time.It’s okay to go outside the city when the weather is fine, but if you encounter heavy snow or freezing rain, it will be a serious crime. These people will be sick for 10 days and a half months every time they go back.

Even if the weather is good, the road may not be easy to walk. After the snow melts, the road is muddy. In the morning, the mud is hard and frozen. I got down and stood on the side for people to push the cart. When I stood on the side, I was shivering from the cold.

So the matter of going to the West Garden to pay respects to the Supreme Emperor ended up being nothing.

It was in this weather that Bai Gangtou and Yan Consort finally returned to the capital.

Bai Gangtou's eyes were full of tears, while Yan Consort was extremely anxious.

But after the two of them entered the city, they had to meet the emperor first.There are three big boxes for the case files handled this time alone.

The amount involved has reached tens of millions of taels of silver.

It took a day to explain these ins and outs clearly.

The ins and outs were explained clearly, but other things were not explained, so the two of them had to report to the emperor the next day.

Bai Gangtou returned home first with the reward, and Concubine Yan followed the emperor to the harem to pick up Princess Shouchun.

After Princess Shouchun saw the son-in-law, she burst into tears from excitement, holding on to her big belly, she shed tears before saying anything.

Princess Shouchun and Concubine Yan returned to the Princess Mansion, and within two hours everyone in the capital knew that the concubine was back.

Many people muttered in their hearts that the Jiangnan incident should be over.

Considering that Princess Shouchun has already married, their Princess Mansion must be on the gift list when giving gifts this year.Many people thought that the emperor's son-in-law would be of great importance to him, so the gift list should be thicker.

There are also quite a few old, treacherous and cunning people who wait to see the direction of the wind.

On the second day, Yan Yu brought a few more large boxes into the palace. After the morning court, the two Weng and his son-in-law chatted for a long time in the imperial study.When Bai Gangtou entered the imperial study room, the three of them dispersed until the evening of the discussion.

And then another day.

Many people still muttered in their hearts, "Is this thing over? If it's over, everyone will celebrate the New Year peacefully. If it's not over..." Thinking of this, I can't help but feel a little chill on my neck.

Obviously, this matter is not over. Jiangnan has already started to search the Zhen family's property, and many families in the capital have received collection documents jointly issued by Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment.

The fact that each family hid the property of the Zhen family before was revealed.

At the beginning, many people didn't take it seriously.It relies on the phrase "the law does not blame the public".

The Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple jointly called for payment several times, but nothing was gained.

The officials of the two ministries knelt in the imperial study tremblingly, and heard the emperor turning the pages of the book one after another.

It was very quiet in the royal study.

The legs of these people kneeled numb, and the emperor said, "Back down."

Some older ones secretly helped others to get up.

When these people retreated, they met the prince who came to pay his respects at the door.

Seeing the cautious appearance of this group of people, Qilin excused them and let them retreat.

After the group of people kicked away, Qilin looked at their backs for a while in the corridor in front of the imperial study, and then lifted the hem of his robes and entered the imperial study.

The emperor looked up at his son, "Are you back?"

"I'm back, those farm heads came here with their things in stake. The son and his two younger brothers watched them counting outside before returning. This year is another bumper harvest year, and the mother has received a sum of money this year. It's just that the son is also busy now. Now, I have already ignored the affairs of Zhuangzi, why bother to let my son watch these things."

The emperor threw the book on the table, "Only once a year, this is the time when your mother collects money in an upright manner, so it is natural to value it. Unless it is a big event in the future, as long as your mother is still there, even if I am not here, you should pay attention to it." Look, that Zhuangzi is your mother's dowry after all."

The dowry was the only property a woman could freely dispose of.

But when it comes to receiving money, the emperor sighed, "Your mother's queen has received money this year, and your father has not recovered a cent of money now."

"Should my son collect the money?"

The emperor quickly waved his hand, "Don't do it, even if you have the ability to do it, don't do it. If you do it, they will make a big fuss."

After finishing speaking, he sighed, "You went to visit the graves of your ancestors a few days ago, and the meritorious ministers next to you were all buried next to your ancestors, and all of them were figures who dedicated themselves to death. It's a pity that there are too few of these figures. Some officials are full of wine bags and rice bags, thinking about turning the imperial court’s money into their own money.”

Qilin listened to the meaning of the emperor's words, as if he had already made up his mind, "What are you going to do?"

"What else can I do? Now there is no money to pay these officials—naturally we have to reduce the number of officials."

"Clear reduction..." Qilin thought for a while, "Now the yamen are not bloated... If there is a reduction, my son is worried that no one will do things."

"You are still too young, who said that these people who do things should be fired, there are many people who have vain jobs and receive salaries but do not pay the royal rations."

Beckoning to Qilin, Qilin stepped forward and lay down on the table, the father and son spoke in a low voice.

The emperor said, "Jia Lian, do you know that there seems to be a fifth-rank title on his body. Although he bought it for good looks, the money he spent has now returned to the original. How much money has been paid by the Rongguo Mansion because of this?" , not to mention giving him a symbolic amount of silver as a salary every year during the Chinese New Year.

Although these dignitaries look down on these silver coins, dripping water becomes rivers, grains of rice become baskets.This sum of money is a lot of money for the imperial court. "

The father and son were talking, when Qian Sheng came in to report that it was General Xiao Guo who was begging to see him outside.

After General Xiao Guo came in, he took out a stack of papers from his arms, held them to Qian Sheng with both hands, and Qian Sheng put them on the emperor's desk.

The emperor flipped it twice and handed it to Qilin. Qilin took it and looked at it before realizing where the Zhen family's property had been scattered.

Qilin's mathematics is very good. After looking at the money and silver in the back, he did a silent calculation in his heart, and he has come up with an accurate value.

"The Zhen family has always been extravagant, and this silver is probably one-tenth of their family property." He lowered his head and recalled what he had seen and heard when he was in Jiangnan, "How much money did my brother-in-law and the others get in total by confiscating the property?"

The emperor took out a booklet from the table and threw it to Qilin. After reading it, Qilin silently calculated, "The sum of almost two places is the property of the Zhen family."

General Xiao Guo also reported that some members of the Zhen family had already left for the north, "I wanted to intercede with the Supreme Emperor, and to ask the Supreme Emperor to allow those who were not involved in the case to be punished lightly... Among them, the female family members of the Zhen family were concerned because they cared about the nobles. The concubines have been separated and detained, and no one has ever humiliated them. But these female family members will inevitably end up being sold, and the relatives of the Zhen family want to pay money to buy these female family members in advance."

The emperor said nothing, and waved his hand to make General Xiao Guo retreat.

"Your queen mother may not let it go, but it's not like your mother's behavior to take revenge on the old and the young... When your grandfather was almost poisoned to death, your mother's face changed when she was angry. Do you remember this kind of hatred? , you turned around and told her slowly, what does your mother think about it?"

Qilin agreed, "If my mother doesn't care about it, the Supreme Emperor really wants to stand up for the female family members of the Zhen family."

"Shouling is better than being bought and humiliated by the enemy. The Supreme Emperor will definitely intervene."

Looking at the sky outside, it was time to have lunch, the father and father walked out of the Imperial Study Room and walked to the Ganlu Hall together.

I found a few young girls standing in the Ganlu Hall.

As soon as the father and two entered, the little girls politely greeted Ann and left.

After Linlin watched these girls leave with a smile, the smile on her face suddenly disappeared, and she rubbed her face with her fingers, "I almost wrinkled from laughing, did you see? The kind of smile I just had Laughing is fake."

The emperor stretched out his hands to hold Linlin's face and looked left and right, "No, I smiled like a fairy just now."

Qilin, a half-grown boy, felt that he shouldn't be standing here, and said, "I'm going to see if Bai Ze's things are packed?" After finishing speaking, the soles of his feet became oily and he slipped away.

Bai Ze is not young anymore, and she is clamoring to move out. Linlin thought about it, and felt that he could no longer be kept in front of her eyes like a baby.

So I asked Bai Niu to go to Bai Ze's palace to watch and tidy up, and then asked the maids and eunuchs of Bai Ze to teach the nuns to pack their things.

From now on, Bai Niu, the eldest court lady next to him, will become the chief court lady next to Bai Ze.

Thinking of this, Linlin felt that she might be really old.When the sons grow up, they can't wait to move out, and the people who grew up with them are getting farther and farther away.

"Why are you sighing? Did those girls upset you just now?"

"It doesn't make me unhappy. I grew up watching people's words and expressions. I'm a little bit unhappy. They can see it. It's like human sperm."

Those little girls just now belonged to the Empress Dowager's natal family, and they used to be servants in Zhen's family.So in the aspect of observing words and expressions, she is really much better than other girls who have been pampered and raised.

Since the case of the Empress Dowager's natal family was closed, people from the Zhao family went to the capital. These girls were taken into the palace by the Empress Dowager because of their good looks and eloquence.

Linlin also saw what the Empress Dowager meant. The Empress Dowager wanted to help her natal family, but she didn't dare to say so, so she had to put these girls in front of her, and often sent them to give Linlin something. Please be safe, I can meet many princes and princesses here at Linlin.

It's hard to guess the feelings of a young man. Once the blood is on the head, he seldom thinks about the consequences. What if these girls have the right eye with which prince...

After hearing Linlin's words, the emperor could feel some meaning, "Do you dislike these children who are not well-educated?"

Linlin thought so in her heart, but she didn't admit it, "Who said I despise them, I didn't say that."

"Marrying a wife and a virtuous man is what the ancestors said, and it makes sense. Our sons are not allowed to marry girls from the Zhao family."

Linlin's heart was already full of joy, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but twitched, "Didn't you see what the queen mother means? The queen mother wants to keep these girls in our house."

"You can't listen to your mother about this matter. Our sons, not to mention Qilin and his brothers, even the third and fourth must marry women from big families. Only knowledgeable women can raise their children well. Other things Say, you can tell the difference just by watching you raise our children."

Linlin thought to herself, I'll take you as a compliment. "The queen mother wants you to talk about it, but the queen mother may not be able to listen to what I said."

The emperor agreed, "Don't worry, these girls are not the children of my uncle's family. They have a relationship with our mother, but they don't kiss. The mother will not worry about them."

Speaking of this, the emperor paused, thought for a while, and then said to Linlin, "We have a good plan here, but I don't know what the son is thinking. Those who come and go in and out of the palace, whether it is Qilin or Bai Ze, if they have any ideas..."

Linlin thought it was possible, "Leave this matter alone, I'll go and listen to what our son has to say."

The two parents sighed at the same time, raising children is not easy
