Chapter 538: The Emperor's Grandson
The Queen Mother's residence was not far from the main hall, so it didn't take long for Jia Baoyu to come to the Queen Mother's other residence, Kunhua Palace.
"Sir, please, the mother is in the palace."
In front of the Kunhua Palace, the female palace beside the Queen Mother was waiting at the door in person, bending down to welcome Jia Baoyu into the hall.
Jia Baoyu secretly took a breath in his heart.
In the past, when he met the Queen Mother, he was introduced by some young palace maids, and never once did this old palace maid greet him in person.
It can be seen that the Queen Mother must have heard something......
"Minister Jia Baoyu visits the Queen Mother."
When he came to the hall and saw the kind and luxurious Queen Mother, Jia Baoyu did not make any other moves, and naturally bowed his head.
"Good boy, get up quickly......"
The Queen Mother's voice was a little unspeakably excited and trembling. Although he never looked up, Jia Baoyu could feel the Queen Mother's gaze staring straight at him.
"Come here, let me take a good look at ......"
Jia Baoyu got up and took two steps.
"Come closer......" The Queen Mother beckoned again.
Jia Baoyu smiled slightly, and came directly to the position three steps in front of the Queen Mother.
So close, almost face-to-face.
It was unreasonable to look directly at the Queen Mother, because Jia Baoyu tilted his head slightly, and his eyes swept over the Queen Mother's left and right.
The status of the queen mother in the clan is like the status of Jia's mother in the Jia family, and there are many and beautiful palace maids around her. But after all, they are people in the palace, and they are not as bold as the maids of the Jia family, who dare to peek at him.
These palace maids stood straight one by one, and their bodies did not move at all, like wooden stakes.
However, there were two middle-aged beautiful women sitting next to the Queen Mother who looked at him with a smile, but Jia Baoyu didn't know whether they were concubines or noblewomen of the clan, so she could only smile shyly in response.
"It's really a good young man, no wonder the emperor and the queen mother like it so much, who doesn't hurt when they see it......"
A beautiful woman saw that the Queen Mother stared at Jia Baoyu up and down, and was silent for a long time, so as to avoid Jia Baoyu being uncomfortable, she smiled and quipped.
Her words finally reminded the Queen Mother, who reluctantly withdrew her eyes and asked, "Were you scared by such a loud noise last night?" ”
The corners of Jia Baoyu's mouth twitched slightly, and he said: "Thank you for the Queen Mother's concern, Weichen is fine." However, last night's incident, the ministers failed to calm down in time, which was afraid that the queen mother would be worried, and the ministers would be afraid. ”
"It's nothing, you're fine......"
The Queen Mother opened her mouth to say this, and then her lips opened, as if she wanted to ask something, but she had concerns, and finally she was stunned, and only after a while did she reproach: "Listen, even others know that you have to be liked by this palace, but you didn't take me in your eyes at all."
Since the autumn hunting, even Ye Yatou has come to see me several times, but you are lazy and refuse to come once.
Is it because you dislike that the reward I gave you before was too light, and you don't want to come and see me, an old woman? ”
Jia Baoyu was speechless, just kidding, you are always the queen mother who is high, who dares to come to your old man to talk about something?
"The Queen Mother said this, but she was wrong to blame Weichen. The Queen Mother is in the world, and the blessings are profound, just ask the princes and grandsons of the entire capital, which one doesn't dream of staying by the Queen Mother's side for a moment and a half, in order to be contaminated with some of the Queen Mother's blessings?
It's just that Weichen thinks that the queen mother lives in Xiyuan all the year round, and now it is rare to lead the princesses and county lords to go out of Beijing to play, and it is time to take a good look at the good mountains, rivers and scenery of our Daxuan, Tao Yi's sentiments, and stretch his mood, where is the hairy boy who has the kung fu to take care of me and can't say pleasant things?
That's why I didn't dare to bother.
Hehe, but since the Queen Mother said so, then Weichen will be cheeky, and he will come to the Queen Mother every day to say goodbye, as long as the Queen Mother doesn't think Weichen is noisy......"
Jia Baoyu said with a smile.
To deal with this kind of blame without malice, Jia Baoyu knows how to respond too well.
Sure enough, as soon as he said that, the Queen Mother laughed.
Another beautiful woman also said: "Look at this child, is this still modest that he can't speak?" According to me, in the entire capital, I am afraid it will be difficult to find a second child like him who can talk. ”
The Queen Mother laughed for a moment, feeling that this was not the time to laugh and talk, so she restrained her smile. Remembering that Jia Baoyu might not know the two beside her, she introduced:
"This is Concubine Yu, this is Concubine Jaw."
Jia Baoyu hurriedly bent down to meet him.
The Queen Mother didn't give Jia Baoyu more time to talk to the two concubines, and when they finished the ceremony, she said:
"The emperor's death has also been heard about by this palace...... This trip can be described as an eventful autumn, I heard that the ministers elected your father-in-law to temporarily preside over the overall situation on the mountain, alas, it is a pity that your father-in-law was also seriously injured. At this time, you can't let your stepfather work too hard, and you need to help him in everything.
Whether it is the emperor's funeral or the situation on the mountain, it must be handled seriously, and nothing like last night will happen again. ”
"The Empress Dowager will not dare to slack off."
The Queen Mother nodded, glanced at Jia Baoyu a few times, and said, "Just come to see the palace every day, but now there are many things outside, you can only concentrate on coping." Come and chat with this palace in your spare time, if you think a person is not cheap, you can come with your sister, Yuanchun girl Bengong also likes it.
Alright, you go about your business.
By the way, if you're going somewhere to do something, remember to bring more guards with you......"
Jia Baoyu thanked him again, and then obeyed the order to retire.
As soon as he left, the two concubines congratulated the Queen Mother and congratulated the Queen Mother on finding her grandson......
The big events that happened in the hall in the morning, few people dared to pass on the dirty things about Emperor Jingtai, but about the identities of Jia Baoyu and the King of Hejian, gossip slowly spread in Tiewang Mountain.
Especially Jia Baoyu's identity, which is rumored to have a nose and eyes. The two concubines heard the rumors and came over to inform the Queen Mother, which caused the Queen Mother to immediately summon Jia Baoyu......
Originally, they also thought it was just a rumor, but the reaction of the Queen Mother was as if she had already recognized Jia Baoyu's identity, so they naturally didn't have too many concerns.
When the Queen Mother heard this, although she didn't admit it, her face was as warm as spring, and anyone could see through her mood.
However, she immediately restrained her expression and sighed: "It's too early to say, the Emperor Taishang has not yet woken up, and everything can only be determined after the Emperor Taishang wakes up." ”
The two concubines nodded, indeed, these women were just hearsay, where there was any basis.
In their opinion, only in the hands of the Emperor Taishang may have definitive evidence about Jia Baoyu's background.
"Dare to ask the Queen Mother, I don't know what the Emperor Taishang's dragon body is, when will it be able to wake up?" One asked cautiously.
They wanted to visit the Emperor Taishang before, but they were refused.
The Queen Mother glanced at them.
The Emperor Taishang only completely stopped accepting concubines after his abdication, even if most of those concubines have become ancient, there are still a lot left.
Those who are in low positions were all placed by the Emperor Taishang in the Xiyuan to enjoy happiness.
As for the few high-ranking ones, if they have sons, and the sons have already established a mansion, the emperor is very kind to let them move to the palace to make fun of their grandchildren (in fact, it is also convenient to take care of those emperors and grandsons, after all, almost all the sons are dead).
Concubine Yu and Concubine E were the concubines who were included in the emperor's later years, obtained a higher position, and had no sons......
The position is not high, and I am not qualified to follow this trip.
"The Emperor Taishang's dragon body is still fine, and the Imperial Doctor said that he will be able to wake up in a few days. Okay, the palace is a little tired, you two should retreat first. ”
"Yes."
was expelled by the Queen Mother, and the two did not dare to have the slightest abnormality, so they stood up respectfully and saluted, and then left.
Looking at their backs, the Queen Mother suddenly sneered in her heart.
It's a shame that these two people don't have grandchildren, otherwise, in this stall where the emperor died, I'm not afraid that they don't have different hearts!
Hmph, no matter what, since Qi'er's sister-in-law is still alive, then this throne must be his, and no one wants to compete with him......
Unlike Concubine Yu and Concubine E, they still have some doubts, but the Queen Mother was pleasantly surprised when she heard the rumors.
Jia Baoyu is her own grandson!
She had doubted and fantasized before, and now, she had confirmed it. Now that it is confirmed, she is going to fight for her grandson what he deserves.
"I heard that the second prince has also arrived at Iron Net Mountain?"
The Queen Mother beckoned the Shang Palace beside her and asked.
"Back to the Queen Mother, yes, I heard that I am about to go up the mountain."
"Hmph......" The Queen Mother snorted silently, let Shang Gong come closer, and said in a slightly lower voice: "After he goes up the mountain, you arrange for someone to pay attention to his every move for the palace, and report to the palace at any time." ”
"Yes, the minions understand ......"
Shang Gong is a confidant who has followed the Queen Mother for many years, and as soon as she obeyed, she understood what the Queen Mother meant, a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes, and she went down silently to prepare.
