Knowing that he had fallen into a misunderstanding, Jia Jiu fell into a long thought again, this time, he no longer insisted on his own opinion, but began to accept the advice of the intelligent little butler, although for this he had to bear the other party's verbal attacks and all kinds of blackmail.

Princess Changle was grounded by the emperor, Jia Jiu locked herself in the Honghui Palace, not only the queen and the concubines were confused, but even the emperor and the emperor were alarmed.

What is this girl doing?

The emperor was the one who wanted to know Jia Jiu's future plans the most. Now he regretted it and locked up Princess Changle, otherwise, he would be able to get the words out of Jia Jiu's mouth through this daughter.

Not to mention that the emperor's heart is like a cat scratching, the emperor calmly sent someone to inform Jia Jiu and asked Jia Jiu to accompany him to fish, and the two daughters of the emperor, Princess Lanling and Princess Jiashan, were the two daughters of the emperor.

Emperor Taishang has many children, and now there are many left, and among these children, only the eldest princess of Lanling and the eldest princess of Jiashan have some friendship with Jia Jiu. Let these two people accompany him, Jia Jiu's heart was also relieved.

In any case, this is a good sign.

It seems that the emperor is okay with himself. It's just that the Emperor Taishang has been in power for many years, and he is still afraid of him for nearly 20 years, which shows how powerful the Emperor is now. Jia Jiu would never think that he could see through this emperor, or he could calculate this emperor. In the face of this emperor, the only thing Jia Jiu can do is to have no desires, or in other words, be honest enough.

It's just that how to be honest is really a difficult problem.

looked at Jia Jiu, who fell to the ground obediently and remained motionless without permission. The Emperor Taishang also hooked the corners of his mouth slightly.

Although the eldest princess of Lanling and the eldest princess of Jiashan are the most favored daughters of the Emperor Taishang at present, they do not dare to speculate about the attitude of the Emperor, but the great eunuch Quan Chang, the confidant of the Emperor Taishang, can see it.

The people of this palace greet them, bow down, and bow down. All have certain statutes. Since the Emperor Taishang is the Emperor Taishang, the courtesy is naturally the highest level, in other words, even the princes and princesses must make a big salute when facing the Emperor.

But in this world, there are always people who deceive themselves and think that their faces are facing the ground. Others don't know his true expression, but they don't know, sometimes. A single hair can speak.

But this Jia Junjun is respectful, and he really can't be faulted.

I don't know if he is sincere, or if the city government is very deep.

The Emperor Taishang smiled and said, "Yo." Nine girls. You're here. Kwon Chang, give him a fishing rod. Those who lose today will be punished. ”

Jia Jiu thanked the emperor for his grace, and then he got up.

Just after walking all the way, Jia Jiu noticed that this should be a relatively remote place in Shanglin Garden. In the middle is a boxy lotus pond, which is covered with lotus leaves, water chestnuts and other aquatic plants, even though the lotus flowers are already gone. It's noon again, and the fragrance of lotus leaves and water chestnuts is almost inaudible. But it is also surrounded by tall and lush trees.

After the Emperor Taishang saw Jia Jiu get up, he was stunned and didn't speak to the pond, and couldn't help but tease, "Jia family girl, why are you in a daze at the pool?" ”

Jia Jiu hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the courtier is a vulgar person, and there are several unearthly sisters living in the family now. When I saw this place today, I remembered a past incident, so I was out of my mind. ”

The Emperor said curiously: "Oh? What was the past? Which sister made you wander when you came to me? ”

Jia Jiu said: "Your Majesty forgives your sins." The old lady of our family has said more than once that the sisters in our family, if you count them carefully, they are not as good as Sister Bao of the Xue family. In the old years, when we were learning flower arrangement, Sister Bao said that although the taste of orchid osmanthus is good, but this rhombus and lotus leaf lotus also have an excellent fragrance. Even the water chestnut, chicken head, reed leaves, and reed roots, get the wind dew, and the fragrance is also refreshing. In the past, I didn't appreciate it in detail, but now that I came to His Majesty, I realized that what Sister Bao said was true. ”

The Emperor Taishang glanced at Jia Jiu with a smile and said, "You girl, you are sincere." How old is your sister Bao? ”

Jia Jiu replied, "If you go back to Your Majesty, Sister Bao is slightly older than the courtier, and she is sixteen this year. ”

The Emperor replied, "Oh, it's a big girl." But he spoke no more.

Quan Chang is a very sharp person, he followed the instructions of the Emperor Taishang and gave Jia Jiu the fishing rod, and on the other hand, he asked a little eunuch to serve Jia Jiu with bait on the side, and then turned his head and ordered another little eunuch a few words. The little eunuch took a few steps back until he was at the foot of the steps of the Le Xin Hall, then he turned around and lowered his head and ran.

With people like Emperor Taishang and Quan Chang, they have lived in the palace for a long time, and they can figure out seven, eight or nine meanings of others' words. The Emperor Taishang is now old, and no one dares to calculate him, so he has stepped down from that position again, and he doesn't have to be stared at by the officials every day. The current Emperor Taishang is much more casual than he was back then.

But Kwon Chang can't be casual. He also has to continue to take on the responsibility of an encyclopedia, ready for the emperor to ask questions at any time.

In Quan Chang's view, Jia Jiu mentioned this "Sister Bao" to the Emperor in person with two meanings: first, it was natural to introduce beauties to the Emperor, and second, it was to refuse the Emperor.

In Quan Chang's opinion, this Jia Junjun is not smart enough to say that he is smart, he is not smart enough, and he is probably a little smart. If the Emperor really likes him, then it is useless for him to refuse, if the Emperor is still a little tolerant of him, then maybe he will push the boat down. It's just that, except for a few people, if the rest of the people dare to speculate on the holy will, it is a great sin.

In Quan Chang's opinion, in this matter, the only smart thing for Jia Jiu is that the Emperor Taishang only told him a few days ago that he regarded him as his own son and nephew.

Sure enough, the Emperor Taishang glanced at Jia Jiu with a smile and said, "Nine girls." I always thought you were a very capable girl, what? Do you have times when you are not as good as others? ”

Jia Jiu nodded very dryly: "Yes, Your Majesty." The courtiers always thought that they were a vulgar person. In some things, there is always a little less spirituality. ”

The Emperor burst out laughing.

"I heard that you are not close to that Xue girl, and I thought that you would mention your cousin. Let me take care of the Lin family girl. ”

Jia Jiu replied: "Your Majesty, it is true that the courtiers are not very close to Sister Bao, but this does not prevent Sister Bao from being excellent. and it did not prevent the courtiers from praising him. As for Sister Lin, Sister Lin is the daughter of her aunt, what kind of person her aunt is, Her Majesty naturally knows in her heart. If you have a good impression of your aunt, you have a better impression of it. Naturally, I will take care of the Lin family's cousins and cousins a little more. Why do I need to talk too much? ”

"Even if this year has passed, I haven't even mentioned the Lin family?"

Jia Jiu replied: "Your Majesty, my aunt has only been gone for a year." Sister Lin has to keep her filial piety for three years before she can come out to socialize, right? Moreover, as the emperor, it is not easy for His Majesty to reach into the inner house of the courtier's house. ”

When the Emperor Taishang heard this, he laughed again, pointed to Jia Jiu and said to his two daughters: "Look at it, this girl is determined to eat me." ”

The eldest princess of Lanling and the eldest princess of Jiashan both laughed and said, "It is the father's mercy." This kid dares to be so presumptuous. ”

Instead, it was Jia Jiu, pouting. said: "Your Majesty, you might as well say it directly, the courtier is stupid and bold." ”

caused the emperor to laugh again.

Kwon Chang could see it clearly from the side. I'm afraid that this Jia Junjun is really going to fall into the eyes of the emperor.

As the confidant of the Emperor Taishang, accompanying the Emperor Taishang all the way, how can Quan Chang not understand the Emperor's thoughts? Maybe it was too majestic back then, maybe it was too strict with the children below, maybe it was the original Prince Yizhong who had a too tragic ending, and the eldest princesses were both respectful and afraid of the emperor, and they were afraid of a little fault in front of the emperor, but they only lacked their intimacy with their father.

As the biological daughter of the Emperor Taishang, this is still the case, not to mention the several princes and princesses in the palace now. As long as you know the knot in your heart for the Emperor Taishang today, you don't dare to get close to this imperial father.

Quan Chang knows that the emperor is now old, and he likes his children and grandchildren around his knees more and more. But the emperor lives in the palace, and other grandchildren can't come in, and today's children don't dare to get close to him, even the two daughters are more afraid than close. The Emperor is lonely.

Thinking like this, Quan Chang had a little affection for Jia Junjun who dared to climb along the pole.

Of course, it's just a little bit of goodwill.

Quan Chang understands very well how moody and willful the master he serves is. Today he can hold you in the palm of his hand, and tomorrow he can beat you into the dust.

After serving the Emperor Taishang for many years, Quan Chang understands best that at this moment, the most important thing is to do his part.

Therefore, Quan Chang only brought a little smile on his face, but he still bent over, waiting for the emperor's orders.

However, the eldest princess of Jiashan intended to relieve Jia Jiu, so she said: "I heard that this Xue family girl is the cousin of that Concubine Jia?" ”

Jia Jiu had already thrown the rod into the water, so he put the fishing rod aside, turned his head, and said, "Yes, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess." The Xue family originally entered Beijing to send their daughter to the election. I thought it would be done in just two or three years, but I didn't want to delay Sister Bao until today. Now that the Xue family is responsible for Concubine Jia's provincial villa, I don't know how long I will delay Sister Bao. ”

The eldest princess of Jiashan said: "You are kind-hearted. He is Concubine Jia's cousin. ”

Jia Jiu said: "Who let him live under the same roof with me for so long?" Their family moved into our house when they entered Beijing, and they have lived there until today, and it has been six years. In six years, even a stone has been covered with heat, let alone a big living person? It's just that he is the niece and daughter of the Wang family, and I can't get too close to him. Watching him delay his youth made me a little unbearable. ”

The eldest princess of Lanling heard this and said, "You are kind-hearted. It's just that if you help him today, he may not remember you. I remember, for the sake of that batch of imitation Taihu stones, you were still responsible for him in the Daomen, and he didn't say anything, but sent you away with a mere 1.1 million taels of silver, didn't he? ”

When the Emperor Taishang heard this, his heart moved, and he went to see Jia Jiu again.

I saw Jia Jiu reply: "Their family was able to get that little at that time." ”

When the eldest princess of Lanling and the eldest princess of Jiashan heard this, they both shook their heads.

Even Quan Chang felt that Jia Jiu was too easy to speak.

Emperor Taishang said: "The Xue family in Jinling is so defeated? ”

Although it is said that Jia Shi Wang Xue is also known as the four major families of Jinling, in fact, except for the Jia family, the rest of the families can be said to be from the hands of the Emperor Taishang, and Xue Baochai's grandfather is still the person promoted by the Emperor. The Xue family will become like this, how can the Emperor not be curious?

The eldest princess of Lanling immediately explained: "Father, there is no one in the Xue family now. The daughter heard that when Xue Baochai's father was there, their family was in chaos, and the brothers of the family almost fell out for the word money, and the head of the Xue family at that time used the power of his wife's uncle Wang Ziteng to suppress those clansmen and brothers. Now the head of the Xue family is even more unbearable, and even his mother does not dare to hand over the affairs of the family to her son, so that this Xue Pan, except for taking money from the shop, has no power at all. His words in his own shop were not as useful as those of his sister. ”

Emperor Taishang was surprised: "Is the Xue family in the hands of Sister Bao in the mouth of the nine girls now?" ”

"Exactly."

When the Emperor heard this, he immediately dispelled the thoughts in his heart.

Of course, the Emperor Taishang knew why the Xue family was defeated in the first place. When Prince Lao Yizhong became the crown prince, the Xue family didn't know how to think about it, so they actually invested in Prince Lao Yizhong's door and became Prince Lao Yizhong's money bag. Later, Prince Lao Yizhong had an accident, and the Xue family spent a lot of effort to get rid of the charge. The Xue family's vitality was also greatly damaged because of this, and the contradictions within the clan were also intensified.

It can be said that today's Xue family will part ways with the clan, and the political struggle back then accounted for a lot of factors.

Emperor Taishang originally thought that if the Xue family still had a competitive baby, he wouldn't mind giving the old man a decent look, and when Quan Chang finished explaining, his mind was also cold. How much loyalty can a person who doesn't even want a family want him to be loyal to the country? If you really want to be promoted, I'm afraid that it will be another master who patronizes the silver but doesn't care about the life and death of the people.

The Emperor Taishang would not do such a bad thing.

The Xue family still has a bit of incense with him, but this kind of incense is not worth making an exception for the Xue family.

You must know that the Emperor Taishang is a person who can sacrifice even his own son for the sake of the country. How could he sacrifice this country that he had exchanged for his son for the sake of others?

It's simply not possible. (To be continued......)
