The last time Jia Jiu was left in the palace by the emperor, he naturally lived in the side hall of the emperor's palace. And this time, Jia Jiu was left behind by Empress Taishang, so he naturally lived in Empress Taishang's side hall.
said that it was a matching hall, but it was actually much smaller than the palace room where Jia Jiu lived before. If the place where I lived last time was atmospheric, it was exquisite, the house was exquisite, the ornaments in the house were exquisite, and even there were many more flowers and trees outside the window. Even in winter, you can see the pines and cypresses under the palace walls and the green bamboos behind the eaves. Such a place is obviously very suitable for people like Queen Taishang to retire. There is an independent small tea room in this side hall, which can allow Jia Jiu to eat hot tea and hot snacks by the way, and even in this winter, it can also be called a hot bath, which is much more convenient than the last time.
It's just that Empress Taishang feels very different from the palace on the emperor's side. Jia Jiu didn't know what to say, but he just felt that the people here from Queen Taishang should be calmer and more steady, and to put it more simply, maybe the people here were a little less angry.
Even if he was left in the palace by Empress Taishang, Jia Jiu did not have the qualifications to dangle in front of Empress Taishang every day. He just went to greet Queen Taishang and said a few words to Queen Taishang according to the point, and then he could come back. There are people around Queen Taishang, and he doesn't need to do any palace maid work, even if he speaks skillfully, and there are also princesses and county lords, and it is not Jia Jiu's turn to do much trouble.
It can be said that when Jia Jiu arrived in the palace of Empress Taishang, it was almost like being grounded.
Jia Jiu didn't think that he would have any visitors, even if he had the blue eyes above and could live in the palace of Empress Taishang. With his own identity and status and the influence of the Jia family, it is impossible for him to be favored by the above, and today's honor is just a fake tiger at home. In the palace, you should still be a talent with your tail between your legs.
Of course, Jia Jiu didn't think that Jia Yuanchun would be able to run to Queen Taishang. He is a low-level concubine, and he is not even qualified to greet Empress Taishang, let alone stay in the cold palace now.
Unexpectedly, the first person to visit him was Concubine Ji Shu. Although the background of the family is not high. But in the end, it is also the head of the first house, and he actually came to visit with gifts, which is not light.
Jia Jiu hurriedly knelt down to greet him. I only heard the other party say: "Flat." After Jia Jiu got up, he patted Jia Jiu's hand again and said, "What a neat child." ”
Concubine Ji Shufei pulled Jia Jiu to sit down on the lacquered couch in the hall, and then said, "On the day of the Lantern Festival." The queen didn't mean to embarrass you. Don't take it to heart. ”
Jia Jiu was stunned. smiled: "Niangniang smiled, which nameplate am I the person on, where is it worth the queen's mother to waste her lips and tongue?" Besides, the queen is not wrong. As the mother of a country, upholding the dignity of national law is the duty of the queen. Others can play a side ball or something, but the queen can't do that. Originally, this side of the matter is a major matter of the imperial court, where can I, a little girl, talk a lot? I'm worried about my father, so I can't help but disturb the banquet in the palace, and the queen mother. Even if he knew that it was not good to say something like that at that time, he had to act in accordance with the law of the land. This is also the duty of the queen's mother. In that case, only the queen mother could say it on that occasion. ”
Concubine Ji Shu paused and said with a smile: "It's hard for a child like you to be so old to understand it so well." ”
Jia Jiu said with a smile: "It's the courtier's daughter, it's bothering." ”
Before the words fell, he heard someone outside: "Since the queen mother is not wrong, what about the concubine?" ”
Jia Jiu looked up, but saw that Princess Changle was standing at the door at some point, and hurriedly got up to greet Princess Changle. Princess Changle saluted Concubine Ji Shu very casually, and then said, "Let's hear it, the tone of the concubine that day was not good." ”
Jia Jiu knelt on the ground and said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, I heard that the noble concubine Niangniang was born in the Taiwei Yang family?" So what else is there to say? The noble concubine Niangniang, who was born in the family of military generals, thinks that she has the most feelings for this kind of thing, and she also hates any behavior that is suspected of being an enemy. At the Lantern Festival banquet, the concubine said that, I'm afraid she has already been polite for three points. As the concubine of my Daqi, I don't forget to raise the prestige of my Daqi country all the time, how can I say that the concubine Niangniang has done something wrong? If you want me to say, whether it is the queen mother or the concubine mother, they have made the most correct choice in their own positions and said what they should say in their own positions. ”
Princess Changle stretched out her hand to Jia Jiu and said, "And you also did what a daughter should do." Before, the queen mother and the concubine praised you for being an understanding person, and when I saw it today, it was really not bad. Lady Niangniang, can you borrow this girl for a little time? Hongu wanted to talk to him about girls' private conversations. ”
Of course, Concubine Ji Shu didn't dare to offend Princess Changle. He turned out to be the little palace maid in Duanyi Guifei's palace, as the daughter of Duanyi Guifei, Princess Changle was his little master. Where did Concubine Ji Shufei dare to say no to Princess Changle.
Concubine Ji Shu immediately said: "In this way, then the palace will not disturb the princess and Jia Xianjun to talk." He simply left the gift and took the person with him.
When Concubine Ji Shu left, Princess Changle pulled Jia Jiu to sit on the arhat couch in the suite, and asked someone to open the window, and then said slowly: "In this palace, there has never been a simple person. Concubine Ji Shufei has been able to get to this day by relying on the left and right. It's a pity, he thought that Bengong would definitely be friendly, and his attitude towards Bengong was not as good as before. What's more, he is still engaging in three or four behind his back to argue with the queen mother and the concubine mother! ……”
Jia Jiu smiled: "Then why is the princess so angry? Now that the princess already knows, who else in this palace doesn't know? ”
Princess Changle said: "That's right. Are you very different from what I imagined? ”
Jia Jiu said: "Does the princess mean a courtier?" ”
Princess Changle nodded and said, "That cousin of yours is a famous pistachio in the palace. At one point, Hongu thought you were similar to him. Now I know that you are the opposite of your cousin, one only grows old but does not have a brain, and the other has a better brain than an adult? ”
When Jia Jiu saw Princess Changle like this, he also said boldly: "Does the princess praise me or hurt me?" The courtiers can have today, but they have experienced more things than ordinary people. ”
Princess Changle shook her head and said, "You are also not easy. Fortunately, even if your father is not at home, there is still a door to take care of you, but in this regard, this palace is not as good as you. Above the court, half of the ministers asked for peace, and even if the father had the intention to stop it, it was impossible to delay it for too long. Thanks to you, as soon as you said that at the Lantern Festival banquet, Queen Taishang also stood up. In this way, it can be delayed for some time. It's just that it can't be delayed for a long time after all, maybe this is the last Lantern Festival that this palace spent in Daqi. ”
Jia Jiu said: "Princess, you are the princess of Daqi, why ...... this?"
Princess Changle suddenly said: "Jia Xianjun, if you were in the position of the palace, what would you do?" ”
Jia Jiu said very calmly: "I will wipe out any unstable factor that threatens the stability of the lives of my Daqi people." If they are barbarians, I will kill them all. ”
Princess Changle snorted and smiled: "What a child, where is it so easy." ”
Jia Jiu's serious Princess Changle couldn't see it, but he was still very happy, at least there was one other person on his side. If the person who said such things today is not the child in front of him, and if the person who said such things today is a minister in the court, then he doesn't need to kiss him, right?!
Princess Changle smiled faintly and said, "The palace is going to the imperial grandmother's side, thank you today." Hongu's mood is much better. ”
Duanyi Guifei can be favored by the emperor, she is undoubtedly a beauty, as his daughter, Princess Changle is naturally also a beauty, but this smile, falling on Princess Changle's face, only a touch of sadness and loneliness.
Sending off Princess Changle, Jia Jiu soon ushered in a new round of gift-giving climax. The queen and Concubine Li all competed to send things to Jia Jiu, as if they were a few days late. Jia Jiu didn't ask about such a situation, but he knew very well like the palace maid who served him that it was because someone spread his words.
Jia Jiu obviously felt Ji Shufei's hint in the conversation. If he is really an ordinary child, if he is a little cowardly and does not immediately refute Concubine Ji Shufei's words, with Concubine Ji Shufei's methods, I am afraid that in the end, it is very likely that he will have resentment towards the queen or Concubine Li.
This Concubine Ji Shu is obviously calculating herself, using herself to block the queen and Concubine Li. With a young lady like Jia Jiu, she must look down on this girl who betrays the master, not to mention that Concubine Ji Shu climbed out of bed, and even successfully climbed out of bed and became a serious concubine. Maybe like in the original book, Wang Xifeng will let his maid be Jia Lian's concubine, but this approach will not work in the palace. There are many beauties in the palace who have been elected in, that is, this concubine can't sleep, and there are a bunch of concubines who can sleep. Holding the palace maid to deal with the emperor is an insult to the emperor.
What kind of beauty does the emperor want? Do you want to be a slave?
Therefore, Concubine Ji Shu is an embarrassing person in the palace, in the eyes of everyone, he is a palace maid who betrays the master, even if he has a competitive belly, but other palace concubines still don't look down on him.
Concubine Ji Shufei can mix up to today, observing words and emotions is his strength, and it is also his instinct to talk about people and talk nonsense. Even the ability to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages is second to none.
Jia Jiu was curious, why did he make this trip? Is he really trying to win favor?
I hope he doesn't compete for favor for the sake of favor, otherwise, it will be too boring. (To be continued......)
