Chapter 276: Portrait
The grass grows and the warbler flies, and the swallow returns, which is another spring benefit.
The Xiyuan Garden is also full of spring, the willow trees have grown new branches, and the peach and plum trees have begun to hang some red and white flowers.
In the Dust Palace, Emperor Taishang sat by the Moon Lake, took a portrait sent from below, and unfolded it to take a closer look.
His brow tightened.
"Feng Xiang."
Accompanied by the old but calm voice of the Emperor Taishang, the old eunuch Feng Xiang bent over and walked over.
The Emperor Taishang gave him the portrait in his hand, Feng Xiang was not polite, he knew who the painting was, so he took it and praised it after just a glance: "The little prince is round and jade, his lips are like hanging pills, and his sword eyebrows are starry, and he is as handsome and extraordinary as the three highnesses of the year......
Emperor Taishang frowned, but he did not criticize his evaluation for not being careful, but said: "I am asking you, do you think that he is somewhat similar to the children of any family in Beijing." ”
Feng Xiang was stunned for a moment, took a closer look, and was so frightened that he immediately hit a spirit.
Isn't this the young man from Rongguo Mansion painted on it......
The face above the emperor's jaw bone wrinkled, and he said lightly: "You can also see it?" ”
"The old slave should die, the old slave doesn't dare to lie, the little prince was born, but it is, but it is very similar to General Xiao Jia of Rongguo Mansion......"
Feng Xiang had a big wave in his heart, if it weren't for the fact that the young man's face in the painting was a little dull, and his eyes were less aura, and if he hadn't even known in advance that the portrait was the youngest son of Prince Yizhong, the grandson of the emperor, he would definitely see at a glance that the forbidden army that had not woken up was waiting for Jia Baoyu......
"It's just similar."
Emperor Taishang silently took the portrait in Feng Xiang's hand, glanced at it, put it down, and then looked at the calm lake, and said lightly: "If I remember well, when Zhen Xiao and Dai Shan were in the army, they were called brothers, and the relationship between the two is irreversible......"
Feng Xiang's heart was slightly cold, he didn't dare to guess what the Emperor Taishang meant by saying this.
After a while, seeing the Emperor Taishang stretch out his hand, Feng Xiang hurriedly bowed down and helped him up.
"Let's go."
"Where is the old emperor going?"
Feng Xiang asked cautiously.
"It seems that the old guy you brought to me still has something to hide from me, so you don't want to go with me to see what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd?"
"The old slave didn't dare to ......"
……
Outside the dilapidated house, suddenly the sound of Jin Ge colliding was endless.
Bao Yong, who was sitting alone in it, heard the sound, the corners of his mouth went up, and he grinned in an upward arc.
But he still didn't move, straightened up his dirty clothes, closed his eyes and recuperated.
Sure enough, after half an hour, the door of the room opened, and the warm spring sun shone in, dispelling the subtle smell of mildew in the room.
The Emperor walked in slowly.
He glanced at Bao Yong, who was sitting on the bed and meditating, without the slightest intention of going down to the kang to ask for peace, and did not show any unusual emotions, but just sat on the imperial chair brought in by the eunuch.
The eunuchs retreated like a tidal wave, and soon the place became quiet.
The Emperor Taishang could sit still, Bao Yong could sit still, but Feng Xiang couldn't stand still. He is not like Bao Yong, who has long put life and death out of the way.
"Old bag~!"
He reminded him.
Bao Yong opened his eyes at this time, and when he saw the emperor actually sitting in the room, he was taken aback, and hurriedly knelt down from the kang and asked for sin: "The sinners don't know that the old emperor has arrived, and they ask the old emperor to atone for their sins." ”
"Flat."
"Old Emperor Xie......"
Bao Yong stood up, hung his head and stood still, as if waiting for the Emperor Taishang to speak, without any anxiety or nervousness.
The Emperor Taishang was silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "I only ask you one word. ”
"The Emperor, please ask, the sinners know everything."
Emperor Taishang's eyes looked straight at Bao Yong with a pair of eyes that had seen the vicissitudes of life, and said in a deep voice: "Do you know Jia Baoyu, the second son of Rongguo Mansion in Beijing?" ”
Bao Yong lowered his hand and bent down to worship: "The sinners know that he was born on the same day, the same year, the same month and the second son of my family, and he looks like one person. ”
The Emperor's eyes narrowed for a moment, but as he said, he didn't ask anything more, slowly stood up, walked to the door, paused, and said: "If you have no bad intentions from beginning to end, if the Zhen family has not been disobedient from beginning to end, I can spare your life and spare the Zhen family." ”
After that, just leave.
Behind him, Bao Yong bowed his head and said, "Thank you for the old emperor's lenienness." ”
Look up, where is there still a trace of the emperor.
The door was locked again, and the light dimmed again.
But the radiance on his face, on the contrary, began to brighten.
Sure enough, he was worthy of the emperor, and he noticed something strange so quickly.
Although the Emperor Taishang is gone today, he knows that with the ability of the Emperor Tai, it will not be too long before he will get everything he wants to know, and then summon him again.
Whether he is dead or alive, it is at that moment.
The reason why I don't ask much today is because the Emperor Taishang is the supreme in the world and has his own habits. Since he Bao Yong didn't finish his words for the first time, the Emperor Taishang would not ask when he couldn't grasp the overall situation.
Because it is too easy to be led by the nose, and his judgment will be misled.
The Emperor's last words seemed merciful, but in fact, they were an ultimatum of death.
It was a warning to him for the first time that he did not play truthfully.
There is no disloyalty, no disloyalty, and he and the Zhen family can be forgiven. On the other hand, if it is next, if the Emperor Taishang notices a little bit of his disobedience with the Zhen family, he and the Zhen family will have no chance of survival.
This is the majesty of the emperor.
He can tolerate his subordinates to deceive in order to keep his bloodline, but he absolutely cannot tolerate outsiders using his bloodline to do wrongdoing.
Does he have a bad heart?
Bao Yong asked himself.
The answer is, there are ......!
But he was not afraid.
There was a strong unwillingness in his heart, which was inherited from the pain and hatred of his old master.
An indescribable smile appeared on his face, and he muttered in his mouth: "Old Emperor, I really want to see with my own eyes the expression when you know the truth, at that time, I don't know if you can still stick to your original decision." The villain has given you so much more time to weigh ......"
……
After more than ten days of recuperation, Wang Xifeng's body gradually improved, but she didn't feel that she had disturbed Li Kun at all, and she had no plans to move back to her own house.
Even when Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang came to visit her, they pretended to be very weak......
It's not that she has other thoughts, she is holding her breath in her heart.
Jia Lian couldn't stand the pressure of Jia's mother and others in the past few days, so she came over to apologize to her and asked her to go back, but she was not so easy to get along with.
One is not angry, the second is that she is still a little unwell, and the third is that even if she goes back now, Mrs. Wang will not let him take care of the house, so she simply stays in the garden, and she can talk and laugh with the girls every day.
At noon, after lunch, Ping'er mentioned that Feng'er's wound had healed and she was ready to go to the ground, asking her if she would give her a favor and let her out to recuperate.
There is no reason why the maid has been recuperating in the master's house.
When Wang Xifeng heard this, he sneered and said, "Call her in, I have a great grace for her!" ”
Ping'er was stunned for a moment, and then thought of something, but she didn't dare to go against Wang Xifeng's will and go out to ask Feng'er to come in.
Feng'er is a maid with four or five colors, but now she is miserable, and she needs to be supported by a maid in Li Kun's house when she walks, and Ping'er also helps to hold her.
"I've seen the second grandmother, congratulations to the second grandmother for being in good health......
Although Feng'er had a pale face, she wanted to kneel down for Wang Xifeng to say goodbye, she thought that Wang Xifeng would call even if she made a gesture of grace, but she didn't want to hear it all the time, so she had no choice but to kneel down in pain.
Ping'er took pity on her and held her hard to prevent her from kneeling.
"Forget it, don't kneel. I almost died in my hands, if I knelt down now, I don't know how many mouths would call me vicious!
Stand still, let me make amends for you first, and forgive me for missing and hurting you by mistake. ”
Feng'er didn't dare to say anything, said something else, and finally begged to go home to recuperate......
She is a child of a family, her parents are working in the house, and she is decent, so it is no problem to raise her an idle daughter.
Wang Xifeng looked at her, and suddenly said coldly: "I thought you were reluctant to stay in this mansion and want to stay for me as a sister, who knew that you would be clamoring to go back at this time!" Hmph, it's also a weak-willed one. ”
When Feng'er heard this, her face changed greatly, and she immediately looked at Ping'er next to her. Seeing Ping'er shaking her head, her eyes were flustered, but she was sure that Ping'er had betrayed her, pushed her away with one hand and pretended to hold her hand, and then quickly knelt down, and at this time she couldn't care about the pain in her waist and abdomen, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Second grandma spare her life, I don't dare to think like that, that's what the second grandma forced me to do, I've been with the second grandma for so many years, how dare I not be unfaithful to the second grandma, beg the second grandma to be aware of it......"
After begging for mercy and kowtowing, the cold sweat on his forehead came down, and he didn't know if it was painful or urgent.
"If it weren't for the fact that you have been following me for so many years and have been honest, I would have been reluctant to carry you into the house and become my aunt's.
Alas, don't blame me for being selfish. ”
Wang Xifeng suddenly smiled like a flower.
Feng'er didn't dare to believe a word, kowtowing like a chicken pecking rice.
Wang Xifeng's methods, these old people know best.
The four big maids who married from the Wang family disappeared in the house one by one, others don't know, but she is clear.
