158 grounded
There are no secrets in the palace. The news of Jia Yuanchun's grounding soon spread throughout the court.
The concubines were amazed.
Although Jia Yuanchun said that he was disrespectful and ran to the North Palace to find a scolding, but Jia Yuanchun was the imperial concubine after all, he was scolded by Jia Jiu and cried all the way back, the emperor not only did not punish Jia Jiu, but let the queen ban Jia Yuanchun's feet, and also asked Jia Yuanchun to copy the female ring and the Book of Filial Piety, the meaning of which made countless palace concubines have to think more.
Concubine Jia, as the Shangshu of Fengzao Palace, was crowned Concubine Xiande, and the inner wife of the third grade was not as good as this Jia Junjun, so what about me?
That night, countless concubines lay in their bedrooms, thinking about this question. Even the queen couldn't help but ask herself: If she didn't have the two sons under her knees, would she be able to fight this upcoming favorite concubine?
The queen rejoiced in her heart more than once that she was the queen and she had two sons.
But what about the other concubines in the palace? You must know that Concubine Wu and Concubine Zhou both have only adopted sons and no biological flesh and blood, let alone the concubines below.
Although there are many sons today, there are still not many concubines born and raised in the palace today.
The palace people of Honghui Hall actually muttered in their hearts. They are all smart people, and they naturally know that Jia Jiu has made countless people in the palace like great enemies. If these concubines are united, it will also be a lot of energy, and Jia Junjun's next situation is only worrying.
But when they saw Jia Jiu's immobile appearance, they felt bottomless in their hearts.
What does this Jia Junjun mean? He has become the public enemy of the concubines in the palace, this matter. Does he know?
Or did he not think about entering the palace at all, so he didn't care?
Think of this possibility. Ji Sizan was shocked.
The reason why Ji Sizan curryed favor with Jia Jiu was not just because of the problem of pension. He thought more than once that if Jia Jiu entered the palace and became a high-ranking palace concubine, he could be Jia Jiu's female official and return to the center of power in the palace.
Even if you can't become the queen mother, you have to be the one who serves the queen mother.
In the palace. There are not one or two people who think like this, and there are not one or two people who are optimistic about Jia Jiu. Ji Sizan is one of them. Before, Ji Sizan saw that Wang Jien and Quan Chang were not moving, and thought that these two were hindering the current and the emperor. Therefore, it was not expressed. But now that he has seen Jia Junjun's behavior, Ji Sizan can't help but think more.
What does the Emperor think of Jia Junjun? How does Banzai think of Jia Junjun today? Did the two Majesties ever think about the possibility of letting Jia Junjun enter the palace? How does Jia Junjun arrange his future?
Could it be that these people have a tacit understanding? Jia Junjun won't enter the palace?
Ji Sizan was a little confused.
But. With people like him. Since he has been able to come to this day, even if there is something in his heart, he still won't show it, and he still looks like he is conscientious, waiting for Jia Jiu to do his best.
The concubines above are like facing a great enemy, the palace people below are turbulent, and behind the flowers, the secret guards of all parties have broken their legs.
When the emperor called Princess Changle to him. The Emperor Taishang, who had lived in Yongshou Palace for a long time, invited Jia Jiu to Shanglin Yuan in the west.
This was the first time Jia Jiu had observed this king up close. Ming Jun, who made hundreds of officials tremble back then, was already an old man, with gray hair. The muscles are relaxed, the bags under the eyes on the face are drooping, and it looks extremely unenergetic. He is not tall, wearing a red regular suit, and he looks thinner and thinner.
Only the essence of the eyes flashed from time to time, showing that this old fox is not old.
"Jia girl, what do you think of the scenery in the west?"
Jia Jiu smiled and said, "The scenery of the Royal Inner Garden is naturally excellent. β
Emperor Taishang smiled and replied, "How is it compared to Concubine Jia's provincial villa?" β
Jia Jiu replied: "The courtiers don't know. β
The Emperor narrowed his eyes and replied, "Oh? Why? β
Jia Jiu replied: "If you go back to Your Majesty, Concubine Jia's provincial villa, the courtiers have never even seen the picture scroll, so naturally they don't know what to do." As for this Shanglin Garden, the courtiers were ordered to accompany them, trembling, where was they in any mood to appreciate the scenery of this Shanglin Garden. β
The Emperor Taishang smiled and said, "Accompanied by an order? Trembled? But I've heard that you've always been bold, and you can even go to the battlefield, are you still afraid of this little battle? β
Jia Jiu replied: "The power of heaven is unpredictable. The courtiers were naturally afraid. β
The Emperor said with a smile: "If you look at it alone, it doesn't look like it." β
"The courtiers are terrified."
Jia Jiu hurriedly bowed, but was held up by the emperor.
"The Jia family has a lot of relationship with the royal family, if it is from the origin, I and your father are the same generation, if it is not for the wrong age, your father should be my companion, not my son's companion. Today, I treat you as my own nephew, and you treat me as your own parent. The two of us, how about talking from our hearts? β
"Your Majesty is too elevated to the courtiers, and the courtiers are terrified......"
"If I am scared again, I will be angry!" The Emperor Taishang said angrily, and when he saw Jia Jiu bowing his head slightly, he changed his smile and said, "You are not a child anymore, and you have always been assertive." You tell me what you think about the future. β
In this world, there is only one future for girls, to get married.
Jia Jiu was silent for a while, and said, "Your Majesty, the courtiers are the show girls to be selected. β
With such an answer, the Emperor Taishang will never be satisfied. changed to other girls, maybe they really only had to go with the flow, but Jia Jiu was different. In the court, there are people who can control no less influence than the two kings, even the emperor cannot be underestimated.
The Emperor raised his eyebrows: "I want to listen to the truth." β
In his tone, there was a little more coercion, as if he was really angry.
Jia Jiu said: "Then please ask Your Majesty to forgive the courtiers for being presumptuous." The courtiers believe that there are very few men in the world who can be worthy of the courtiers, and among these men, there are even fewer people who can let the courtiers do what they want to do. β
The Emperor said: "What do you want to do?" Is that the salt fertilizer? β
"Yes."
The Emperor stood and turned around. looked at Jia Jiu fixedly: "This is so important to you?" β
Jia Jiu replied: "The courtiers don't want to do nothing. β
Emperor Taishang said: "As a woman, enter the court to serve the king and give birth to the next generation of emperors." Finally, it became the mother of a country in the true sense of the word. Isn't this kind of glory the highest glory in a woman's life? β
Jia Jiu said: "For others, maybe yes, but it's not what the courtiers want." β
Emperor Taishang hesitated for a moment and said, "That salt fertilizer is so important, so important that it makes you give up the family's expectations." Give up the highest glory of women? β
Jia Jiu said: "Yes." β
Emperor Taishang said: "Do you know what you are talking about? β
Jia Jiu replied: "Your Majesty, salt and fertilizer are related to the livelihood of the people in the whole world. β
Emperor Taishang looked at Jia Jiu quietly. Suddenly laughed.
"Interesting, little girl, go back."
"Yes, Your Majesty. The courtiers retired. β
Jia Jiu bowed and retreated. He left without looking back.
When Jia Jiu walked away and couldn't see the figure, the thin old man suddenly laughed. He looked at the chief pipe beside him: "Quan Chang, have you ever seen such an arrogant girl?" He even disdained the royal majesty. β
Quan Chang looked at Jia Jiu and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you admire Jia Junjun very much." β
The Emperor Taishang smiled: "If it were for me back then, I would definitely have a good chance of sharpening this girl." But now......"
The Emperor smiled to himself. Kwon Chang didn't care, but according to the habit of the emperor, he prepared bait and fishing rod for the emperor.
The long-term tacit understanding let Quan Chang know. At this time, it's best not to say anything.
The Emperor Taishang and the Emperor both released people by Jia Jiu's side. The Emperor Taishang talked to Jia Jiu, and the emperor knew immediately.
The emperor was having dinner with Princess Changle, and the father and daughter were happy, but when the news reached the Qinzheng Palace, Wang Jien didn't dare to delay and immediately said it in the emperor's ear. The emperor jumped up at that time.
For the first time, Princess Changle knew that her father's face could be so ugly. Even when he confronted the king of a country in front of him that day, the other party's face was not so ugly.
Princess Changle immediately got up and came to the emperor's side: "Father, what happened?" β
The emperor sat there, his eyes straight, obviously trying to pull a smile, but because the left half of his face kept twitching, the whole person looked more and more hideous. Such an emperor can scare Princess Changle a lot.
"Come on, please ask for the imperial doctor!"
The emperor grabbed Princess Changle and said gloomily: "Imperial doctor? Do you want to embarrass me? β
Princess Changle didn't dare to move, so she had to whisper: "But Father, your daughter is very worried. β
The emperor turned his face and looked at Princess Changle for a long time, and then said, "Changle, my Changle, my most beloved daughter." You sue sΓΉ me, you, you and the girl of the Jia family, that girl ......"
Princess Changle was frightened, but she still held on to her father steadily: "Father, what's wrong with you, okay, why did you grit your teeth at Sister Jiu?" But did the people below speak ill of Sister Jiu to you? β
"Sister Jiu?" The emperor grabbed Princess Changle's arm and said, "You call him Sister Jiu?" You know, maybe one day, he will become your grandfather's concubine. β
Princess Changle looked at the emperor and said, "Sister Jiu won't be willing." β
"Then do you know that your sister Jiu is in Xinei at this moment, and she is having a good conversation with your imperial grandfather!"
Princess Changle looked at the emperor fixedly for a while, and said, "Father and emperor are so afraid of the emperor's grandfather? β
The emperor changed color suddenly.
Princess Changle said: "Then the emperor's grandfather must be very sad. Sister Jiu has said more than once that there is no parent who does not love their children. The emperor's grandfather is already an old man in his twilight, even if there were many children in the past, there are few left now. And you are the last child chosen by the imperial grandfather. If you are like this, the imperial grandfather must be very sad. β
The emperor was furious and pushed Princess Changle away: "You don't talk nonsense here. Come on, pull Changle down. β
Wang Jien didn't dare to move, so he had to say: "Your Majesty, you ......"
"Why, do you want me to say it a second time?"
Princess Changle said: "No need, my daughter will leave by herself." It's just that before leaving, the daughter hopes that her father will change his position and think about it, if your son treats you like this, what will your heart feel like? β
"Get out! Get lost! Get lost! You keep me in the North Palace. You are not allowed to move around without my permission! Get lost! β
Princess Changle sighed slightly, glanced at the emperor deeply, and turned to leave. Walking down the steps of the Qinzheng Palace, Princess Changle could still faintly feel that the emperor was like a trapped beast, walking around anxiously in the Qinzheng Palace, and as if he was a lion who had been trapped in a cage, relying on such actions to determine his own territory.
Jia Jiu and Princess Changle met at the gate of the North Palace, he looked at the people behind Princess Changle who were following him, did not speak, but bent down at the first time: "The courtier has seen Her Royal Highness." β
"No." After Princess Changle waited for Jia Jiu to get up, she slightly gestured to the people on the side and said, "How is it?" Have a good chat with your grandfather? β
Jia Jiu replied: "Back to Her Royal Highness the Princess, the courtiers don't know if the Emperor is happy. If the Emperor is so easy to be guessed by others, then the Emperor is not the Emperor. On the contrary, it is the courtier's daughter, who is still worried in her heart. β
Princess Changle said: "Are you such a timid person? β
Jia Jiu replied: "Could it be that the courtiers are very bold? The courtiers should reflect on themselves. Why does Her Royal Highness the princess feel that the courtiers are bold, and even the Emperor Taishang, who really met for the first time, thinks that the courtiers are bold. β
Princess Changle said: "Grandfather Huang thinks you are bold? What did you do? Or was it something that was said? β
Jia Jiu shook his head and said, "Just now, the courtiers were taken aback by the Emperor Taishang. The emperor said that he was my own nephew. What kind of nameplate am I, where can I be the emperor's words. Today, it would be nice if Her Royal Highness the Princess was here. β
Princess Changle looked at the people around her and said, "Grandfather Huang, I haven't seen him for a few days. It's a pity that I was grounded by my father, and it was not good to go to greet my grandfather. β
Jia Jiu was stunned when he heard this, and said, "Long live? β
"Do you think that in this palace now, who else can forbid the feet of this palace. Well, I can't tell you more about these things. Take a break. The main palace is also tired and has to go back to the Qingliang Palace. β
Seeing that Princess Changle was taking a slippery person, or rather, being escorted by this slippery person, to the Qingliang Palace, Jia Jiu only had to give it away.
Of course, these words, whether they are etiquette, are all made for outsiders to see.
Jia Jiu knew that there were many secret agents of the Emperor and the Emperor around him, and Princess Changle was also very aware of this. These words are not so much for Princess Changle to listen to Jia Jiu, but for the Emperor Taishang.
The crux of the problem between the Emperor Taishang and the current emperor is not a day or two.
The royal father and son will come to this point, which is embarrassing. (To be continued......)
