"The old lady asked me to bring you a message," Wang looked at Jia Yuanchun's expression, and said: "Recently, there have been rumors in the court that the emperor wants to recruit the harem, this is a good time, or that sentence, Jiafu Zhongxing, only depends on our Yuanchun." โ
Jia Yuanchun nodded.
Farewell to the Wang family, Jia Yuanchun stepped out of the imperial garden, and was listlessly preparing to go in the direction of Linglong Zhai, just turned around a corridor outside the imperial garden, only to hear a voice not far away, and looked in the direction of the sound, she was actually bright, it turned out that the emperor did not know when he entered the garden, and at this time, in addition to the appearance of a minister, there was no Empress Feng, and even the palace people who followed were only Xiao Dezi, or they could not leave the emperor's side.
Through the flower window, Jia Yuanchun bit his lip excitedly, thought for a while, saw that there was no one left and right, and secretly threw a red gold pearl pendant on his ear into the imperial garden from the window, and then deliberately made an anxious look and ran to the nearest side door of the imperial garden.
It's just that when he arrived at the Imperial Garden, Jia Yuanchun's steps moved a little wider, and when he saw from a distance that the emperor and his party had moved from a verandah to the back of a rockery, he decided to turn around from the other end and look around.
Peeking at the emperor coming over with his hands behind his back, Jia Yuanchun couldn't help but be happy, touched his ears and lowered his head to greet him, and muttered in his mouth: "Good pendant, why can't you find it?" โ
Suddenly, a hand reached over and pulled her to the side suddenly, Jia Yuanchun's center of gravity was unstable, and he almost fell to the ground.
"Who is so reckless?" A voice shouted.
Xiao Dezi walked down the pavilion, saw people, and said with a smile: "It's the palace maid Jia, Lord Yuan, let her go!" โ
Jia Yuanchun finally stood still, only then did he notice that it was a middle-aged man in an official uniform who grabbed her before, and when he heard Xiao Dezi call him "Yuan Zixin", Jia Yuanchun immediately guessed that this person should be Yuan Zixin of today's Xiangguo.
"The emperor forgives the sin! Adults forgive sins" Jia Yuanchun quickly knelt down, this time she didn't even have to pretend to be frightened, she really startled Yuan Zixin, she didn't expect that this person would come out and insert a pole in the middle of the road.
"Why are you wandering in the garden?" Xiao Dezi asked.
"By the grace of the emperor, today the palace arranged to see the family, the slave maid's mother came in early in the morning to meet, and then the slave maid said goodbye to her mother, and was about to go back to Linglong Zhai, but found that she had lost an earring, so she stepped back to look for it, unexpectedly collided with the holy car, the slave maid really damned!" Jia Yuanchun lowered his head and replied.
"Let's be flat." Tu Yuanhui in the pavilion threw over lightly, and then stepped to leave.
"Miss Jia can go." Xiao Dezi suspected that Jia Yuanchun was in the way, and urged her to get out of the way.
"Yes, the slave and maid are gone." Jia Yuanchun stood up stupidly, and was quite regretful, she finally "coincidentally" met the emperor once, was she sent away like this?
Involuntarily, Jia Yuanchun raised his eyes to look at the emperor, but saw that he had crossed himself and walked towards the other side of the rockery.
She had secretly seen the emperor's appearance of welcoming Feng Yuer, and she had also heard Wang Zisheng mention that this emperor was very romantic back then, and Jia Yuanchun thought that her appearance was not inferior to Feng Yuer, but why did she have such a pearl and jade color, but she just couldn't enter the heart of Tu Yuanhui, didn't she say that men were all in the twilight?
At this time, someone asked behind her, "Miss Jia is from Jiafu?" โ
"Back to Lord Yuan, exactly," Jia Yuanchun was happy in his heart, turned to Yuan Zixin and blessed his body, listening to the sound and knowing the meaning, Yuan Zixin's words were by no means in vain, Jia Yuanchun wanted to answer well, "Slave grandfather Jia Daishan, great-ancestor Jia Yuan." โ
"The old man remembered, you are the daughter of Jia Zheng, a former member of the Ministry of Labor, and Ling Zun is an honest man of the first class in the world!" Yuan Zixin seemed to have forgotten that Tu Yuanhui had gone far ahead.
Jia Yuanchun replied with a smile, "Thank you for your compliment, my father also highly respects Lord Yuan, saying that you are upright and upright, and you are a rare capable minister in this dynasty." โ
In front of him, Tu Yuanhui had turned to a verandah, and Xiao Dezi saw that he seemed a little bored, so he proposed: "Your Majesty, Silla has just paid tribute to a few cranes, and this son has been put in the garden, why don't you go and take a look?" โ
"Oh? Then you have to take a look, let them have a good โกโก, if they are docile, send two to Fengyi Palace, I think they will like it. Tu Yuanhui shook his hand and walked away with the people.
Yuan Zixin and Jia Yuanchun just said a few words, and when they looked up again, they couldn't help but smile secretly, and then glanced at Jia Yuanchun next to him, and actually looked at the direction where Tu Yuanhui left, and there was a look of grief in his eyes, and he had some ideas in his heart.
If such a slave was another palace person, he would have been ordered to go out and be killed.
But this one isn't.
Yuan Zixin thought, not because of this beauty, but also because she is Empress Feng's cousin, although she doesn't want to see the Jia family, but she really doesn't mean to ask for the life of her relatives, so there is room for maneuver.
Feng Yu'er quickly got the news, so she summoned Jia Yuanchun.
Feng Yu'er was taking Xingyue in the house to watch Keyi play on the kang, and when she saw Jia Yuanchun coming to her, she asked, "Can you see your mother today?" โ
Xie Niangniang asked, "Jia Yuanchun couldn't help but feel worried in her heart, this was the first time she saw the culprit who had harmed her whole family after the Jia family fell.
She lowered her head and said, "The slave has seen her mother, and she asked the slave to serve the masters with her heart and live up to the trust of the mother." โ
Feng Yu'er looked at Jia Yuanchun and completely understood that it was wrong.
But today Tu Yuanhui told him something, Feng Yu'er thought it was very good to let her add to Yuan Zixin's blockage, and now she is willing to give her some face.
"Cousin Yuanchun is also eighteen this year!"
Jia Yuanchun was shocked, this person actually called her cousin?
also asked her age, did he want to marry her.
So, she hurriedly replied: "Although there are eighteen, there are still three or four years before I can leave the palace." โ
"That's not small, I can't let you learn from us Xingyue anymore, and it took more than twenty years to get married," Feng Yu'er looked at Xingyue with a smile and said, "It's also Jiang Shun who doesn't dislike you, so he sacrificed himself to marry like this, saving a heart for the emperor and the palace." โ
Xingyue's face turned red for a while, and she said angrily: "Niangniang, this joke has been played for many days, and you are not tired and panicked, and the slave and maid really dare not enter the palace when you turn around!" โ
"Okay, don't talk about Xingyue," Feng Yu'er looked at Xingyue's blushing face mischievously, "It's also that this palace can't leave Xingyue, but you are so tired that you go to the palace on an errand for three days, and you want to come to Jiang Shun to complain about it." โ
"If the mother thinks that Xingyue is an eyesore, and the slave and maid don't come to annoy you, why bother Niangniang always talk like this." Xingyue immediately replied, her mouth pursed.
The two of you sang and I drank happily, and for a while Jia Yuanchun was put aside.
Later, Xingyue glanced at her, Feng Yuer turned her head and smiled at Jia Yuanchun: "In the past two years, my brain has become more and more difficult, and it is easy to forget the people next to me when I speak, the meaning of this palace, Yuanchun is a relative of this palace, I can't delay your future, I have to choose a good family for you when I turn back, and I don't have to wait for the day I leave the palace." โ
Jia Yuanchun felt that this was what Queen Feng meant to drive people away, where was she willing to obey, she hadn't climbed this high branch yet, how could she give up halfway, this heart was in a panic, and she knelt down in front of Feng Yu'er, "The slave and maid Xie Niangniang are compassionate, but they have to do their duty when they enter the palace, as for the matter of marriage, everything is fate, and the slave and maid are not in a hurry." โ
"You're not in a hurry, I'm afraid the adults in the family are going to be anxious!" Feng Yu'er smiled, "Besides, even if you get married, you can still go back to the palace to wait, isn't that what our Xingyue is?" โ
Jia Yuanchun was speechless, thinking that Empress Feng had already made up her mind and didn't want her to stay in the palace.
For a while, Jia Yuanchun guessed that it was because the emperor intended to draft the draft, so it attracted the vigilance of Empress Feng.
Thinking about it like this, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart, only saying that the emperor's love made the harem quiet, so thinking about it, I am afraid that it has nothing to do with Queen Feng's jealousy, if she really enters the palace as a concubine in the future, this one is really difficult to deal with.
When he returned to his residence in the evening, Jia Yuanchun lay on the bed and thought for a long time.
Jia Yuanchun smiled bitterly, I don't know if it is a glory or not, Empress Feng obviously regards her Jia Yuanchun as a fierce rival.
It's just that she has been dormant in this palace for many years, and Queen Feng has the heart to prevent it, she Jia Yuanchun grabbed the emperor, and today's vigilance of Queen Feng makes her more confident, and it must be true that she is called Concubine Xiande in her dream.

"You mean the girl who entered the palace to be a palace maid in Jiafu?" After Mrs. Yuan served Yuan Zixin and lay down on the bed, she sat on the side and asked, "What is this Jia Yuanchun's qualifications?" Can the emperor look down on her? Also, the old lady in Jiafu is notoriously snobbish and unreasonable, don't go to the back and still don't appreciate it! โ
Yuan Zixin sat on the head of the bed and said: "Today, the old man and Jia Zheng had a drink, and during the banquet, he talked about the daughter of his family, thinking that Jia Zheng was really proud of his daughter, saying that she was good at reading poetry and books since she was a child, well-read and memorized, and was also good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. โ
"A woman is virtuous if she is not talented, she may not be impetuous, self-esteem, if she gains power, willing to us?" Mrs. Yuan pursed her lips, and sneered at those so-called talented women in her heart.
"This Jia family is self-motivated," Yuan Zixin smiled, remembering what he saw in the daytime, Jia Yuanchun looked at the emperor's back with an obsessive look, "The old man helped her to get to Qingyun, this Jia family should be grateful, if she really dares to turn her face and deny people at that time, the old man will also have a way to deal with it." โ
"It's just that the emperor can take a fancy to her?" Mrs. Yuan asked suspiciously, not believing that Emperor Yongming, who had always been spoiled by his life, could really be seduced so easily.
"You women, you may not understand what men think," Yuan Zixin stroked his beard and said: "Empress Feng thinks that if you control the harem, you can not fall out of favor, it's really a joke, the emperor was famous for his romance back then, and there were countless beauties in the backyard. โ
Mrs. Yuan nodded, "I know, I will go to see the old lady of Jiafu tomorrow, I have to let them know who helped them a lot, don't work in vain when the time comes." โ
Jiafu can't be Rongguo's Mansion now, it can only be called Jiafu, but the family still has some money, and Jiafu is doing well.
In the main house, Shi was holding his grandson Jia Baoyu in his arms, and when he smiled and watched him play with a fruit, he heard someone come to report, "Mrs. Yuan asks to see." โ
Shi Shi raised his head and asked, "Which Mrs. Yuan?" โ
"Yuan Xiangguo...... Mrs. Auntie. The messenger thought for a moment and added.
"Yo, she!" Shi Shi immediately hurriedly said, "Call in!" As he spoke, he coaxed Jia Baoyu to follow the girls down, and said to the Wang family who was waiting beside him: "This one was famous for his eyes above the top and looked down on people, but later he became a concubine with a will, and he never went out again, and today I don't know which tendon is through, and he actually came to us." โ
Wang smiled, thinking that although this one had lost his reputation, he was still Yuan Xiangguo's aunt's wife, and he didn't look at the face of the monk and looked at the face of the Buddha, so he asked Shi Shi and went out to greet him.
After a while, Mrs. Yuan entered the house accompanied by Wang, and Shi sat on the right seat steadily, smiling as Mrs. Yuan walked up.
"See the old lady!" Due to her current status, Mrs. Yuan could only take the initiative to come forward and salute.
"Mrs. Yuan is a rare guest!" Shi Shi was stiffly courteous, and then he helped him for a while, and finally praised it in his heart, and asked in a condescending tone, "Why is Mrs. Yuan here today?" โ
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Yuan was not a little unhappy, but replied without humility or arrogance, "But I came here for the granddaughter of your family in the palace." โ
Shi Shi was stunned for a moment, turned his head and glanced at Wang, this time, it was finally Mrs. Yuan's turn to be proud, "Now my family is trying his best to persuade the emperor to recruit the harem, but the emperor seems to be reluctant because of Queen Feng!" However, my family has its own way. โ
"Mrs. Yuan, why don't you go inside and talk to me alone?" Shi's positive color road.
When Shi sent Mrs. Yuan out of the mansion, and even personally helped Mrs. Yuan into the carriage very diligently, Wang waited for Shi to return to the courtyard, and when he entered the inner room, let the family all retreat, Wang couldn't help but ask, "Old lady, why does this Yuan Xiangguo want to help us?" โ
"You are young, you have seen few things, how to understand the joints," Shi explained: "Don't look at Yuan Zixin is still Xiangguo now, in fact, because of the matter of the original establishment and the county lord of Nan'an, the emperor has a deep knot in his heart, and he is not as trusted as Lin Wenye, the secretary of the ministry, but this Lord Yuan is extremely ambitious, how can he admit that he has fallen out of favor." โ
"What does the old lady mean, he wants to take the throne by Fu Yuanchun and sell it in front of the emperor?" Wang guessed authentically.
"You, it's really a woman's opinion, you think too shallowly, you only know one of them," Shi nodded Wang's name, "If our Yuanchun can be favored by the emperor, and then say two more good words for Yuan Zixin, won't it be pulled into the relationship between the monarch and the minister, and there are people in the palace to rely on, and besides, that Mrs. Yuan has lost all her face because of Feng's affairs, and she wants to give the queen a color to see, people, but she will kill two birds with one stone." โ
Then he boasted: "Yuanchun is a great blessing, if the Yuan family is not sure that our Yuanchun has entered the emperor's face, they will not come." โ
Mrs. Wang was overjoyed when she heard this! 166 Reading Network
