The eunuchs sent Jia Zheng and Jia Baoyu out of the harem and no longer followed.

Walking in the vestibule of the palace, Jia Baoyu suddenly asked Jia Zhengdao: "Does the lord know how old the queen is?" ”

"Bastard! The queen's Fengchen is also what you can inquire about at will? ”

Jia Baoyu hung his head, and in a place where Jia Zheng couldn't see, his lips twitched, and he didn't know what he was saying.

"Niangniang is the granddaughter of the former cabinet Ye Xiang, and for more than ten years, the government and the opposition praised the queen's wisdom. Your Majesty also has a lot of trust in the queen, if it weren't for the queen's mother's strong recommendation in front of Your Majesty, your sister would not be able to be crowned the imperial concubine and take charge of the affairs of the palace.

You should remember the great kindness of the queen mother to my Jia family, and let me hear that you have a trace of disrespect for the queen mother, you can carefully expose your skin! ”

Jia Zheng glanced at Jia Baoyu and snorted coldly.

For Jia Zheng to show his strict father's "majesty" anytime and anywhere, Jia Baoyu has been able to freely put his left ear in and out of his right ear. At least, today's Jia Zheng is not like half a year ago, with a "wicked obstacle" on the left and another "damn brute", such a comparison, the word bastard, sounds pleasing to the ear......

As if he had no heart or lungs, Jia Baoyu continued to ask: "Then does the queen have a prince?" ”

When Jia Zheng heard this, he suddenly sighed and said: "Maybe this is also jealousy and wisdom, and the queen has nothing to do so far." His Majesty was moved by the virtue of the queen mother, and passed the second prince to the name of the queen mother......"

"I heard the queen mother mention the word "Hao'er" before, but the name of the second prince? ”

"Exactly. His Royal Highness the Second Prince is from the current residence of His Majesty, and he respects 'Jing Hao'. ”

Yuan Jinghao, the name is quite pleasant. And the second in line, and the mother inherits the queen, Jia Baoyu instantly realized that this prince may not be able to ignore.

He was interested in studying the people and things in the royal family, and anyway, he had to wait for Jia Mu and the others to leave the palace, so Jia Baoyu simply broke the casserole and asked: "How is the character of His Royal Highness the Second Prince?" ”

Jia Zheng frowned, he felt that Jia Baoyu had talked a little too much today.

However, thinking that Jia Baoyu has performed well recently, especially today, receiving the holy decree and sending court clothes made him a little satisfied. At this time, he went out of Xihuamen and met with Jia Yu, Jia Zhen and others who were waiting here, so he invited Jia Baoyu into the official sedan chair and shared these court matters with him.

"Today's second prince is from the palace when His Majesty is in the palace, and later Concubine Yun died of illness, His Majesty took pity on her loneliness and weakness, so she handed it over to the queen mother to raise. Later, she directly succeeded Queen Duanren and has been living in the East Palace ever since.

Although these two princes are only in the age of dancing elephants (men are fifteen to twenty years old), they are naturally intelligent, shrewd and eloquent, and gentle and elegant, humble and courteous, and many people say that they have the style of ancient sages. ”

Jia Zheng said as he spoke, perhaps he really had a good impression of the second prince, and actually whispered again: "Recently, a cabinet minister advised His Majesty to establish a prince, and a minister asked the second prince to be the crown prince......

Jia Baoyu was suddenly shocked, and he turned to the issue of Lichu so quickly.

Even if Jia Baoyu has never experienced the royal seizure of the heir, the fact that he watched film and television dramas in his previous life and read history books in this life is not uncommon.

What's more, Jia Baoyu is not a fool, as soon as he heard Jia Zheng talk about the imperial court, Yuan Chun, who was the confidant of Empress Duanren, was crowned a concubine at this juncture, and he was still the imperial concubine, Jia Baoyu had to consider whether there was any connection inside!

"And how did Your Majesty decide?"

Jia Zheng showed a trace of doubt in his eyes, and said: "Your Majesty has not expressed his position today, but only left the recital in the middle of the story, and made it clear in the DPRK that this matter will be discussed again...... His Majesty does not seem to have any plans to establish a prince for the time being. ”

Jia Baoyu sighed in his heart, and a bad premonition enveloped his heart.

Generally speaking, unless the emperor is very young, he has to appoint a prince. The current emperor is said to have passed the age of no doubt, and he is definitely not young in this world.

did not express his position on the ministers' request for the establishment of the prince, or it was really as Jia Zheng guessed, the emperor himself did not want to establish the prince...... Either that, the ministers are not choosing someone he wants.

Jia Baoyu felt that there was some convulsion behind him, if the former was fine, everything would be easy to say.

If it's the latter.......

"What about the nature of the Great Prince?" Jia Baoyu asked cautiously.

Jia Zheng said expressionlessly: "The eldest prince was born by the princess when His Majesty was in the palace, the first princess died early, and His Majesty succeeded to the throne and was posthumously named Empress Xiaoxian. The eldest prince has passed the weak crown now, because he has been weak and sick since he was a child, and he rarely haunts in front of people, and his character is not known to most people. However, there are rumors that the eldest prince ...... Improper style. ”

Seeing that Jia Zheng glanced at himself and was suspected of changing his words, it was not difficult for Jia Baoyu to guess that the so-called improper style was probably some kind of greedy and lustful or something.

Frail and sickly, and still have a bad style? Doesn't sound like a threat.

However, the princess came out first, and he had the advantage of having an eldest son over the second prince who succeeded to the queen's name. But in the case of not knowing how the relationship between the emperor and the two main chambers is, there is not much difference.

Jia Baoyu, who didn't analyze the reason, continued to ask: "What about the other princes of Your Majesty?" ”

Jia Zheng also saw that Jia Baoyu was interested in the selection of the prince. As a person from the founding government, whether you want to get involved in these things or not, it is necessary to know the direction of such a major event.

Don't talk about others, he has done his homework himself.

He is now past the year of the Mandate of Heaven, although there are many members of the Jia family, but his branch, since the death of Jia Zhu (Jia Baoyu's eldest brother), what he hopes is that perhaps in the future, this family business can only be handed over to Jia Baoyu.

It is rare to see Jia Baoyu so tirelessly seek advice from him, and he did not hesitate to tell Jia Baoyu what he knew: "Today, His Majesty's heirs are not prosperous, in addition to the eldest prince and the second prince, there are still four princes Jingqi. However, the fourth prince is still young, and the mother concubine does not have a high position in the harem. ”

Did the emperor have only three sons? For the emperor, the heirs are indeed not prosperous, but fortunately, there are emperors in history who have only a seedling or even a son......

Originally, Jia Baoyu thought that he could see a little way, but after listening to Jia Zheng's words, he was even more confused.

Judging from this situation, the advantages of the second prince are not insignificant, and the Jia family has already stood in the camp of the second prince without standing because of Yuan Chun's relationship.

When looking at the Red Mansion in the previous life, some people deduced that the real reason for the defeat of the Jia family was that they bet on the wrong treasure.

Jia Baoyu also somewhat agreed with this statement, after all, the four deep-rooted families, including the concubine, could be eliminated in an instant, and in addition to such a big event, there were not a few things to be found.

But in today's situation, the probability of miscrushing is very low.

However, these are all news obtained from Jia Zheng, and I can only make a rough judgment. The specific situation can only be drawn after you have personally understood it.

Otherwise, if Jia Zheng is "blinded", it will be a tragedy.

I talked to Jia Zheng again to learn more about the royal affairs, and it was not until the middle of the time that Jia Mu and others came out of the palace.

Then Jia Yu, Jia Zheng, Jia Zhen, Jia Baoyu and other cadres escorted Jia's mother back.

Back at Rongguo Mansion, although it was already the time to hold the lamp, the Jia family was still in high spirits, and the family gathered in Rongqing Hall.

Words of joy and congratulations continued.

Jia's mother was happy for a while, and immediately called for two large baskets of money from the library, and sprinkled them into the courtyard under the eaves of the corridor outside the Rongqing Hall, attracting the girls and boys in the Rongguo Mansion to gather together to compete, and the scene was even more lively.

Everyone congratulated each other, and for a while someone said that Jia's mother would regulate people, when Yuanchun was raised under Jia's mother's knees, and now she can have such a chance, and then there is that when the eldest girl (Yuanchun) was at home, she was born differently from others, but she was rich and noble, and now there is really this earth-breaking wealth on the head......

After making a fuss like this for more than half an hour, everyone saw that although Jia Mu was smiling, there was already a look of exhaustion in her expression, and then it gradually dispersed.

In fact, it's not just Jia's mother, but the Jia family members today, who haven't stood for a long time, are a little tired, so after going back, most of them went to rest directly.

"Go back too."

When the people were almost dispersed, Mother Jia said to the sisters Jia Baoyu who were still stumbling.

Jia Baoyu and Daiyu are living in Jia's mother's house, and the Sanchun sisters are not in a hurry to leave because they want to ask Baoyu what they have seen today. After all, Jia Baoyu has been walking for most of the day today, and I heard that she not only met her eldest sister Yuanchun, but also met the queen's mother!

Queen Mother, that is the most noble woman in the world, what she looks like, what manners, they are very curious.

Therefore, saying goodbye to Jia's mother, the Sanchun sisters and Daiyu all went to Jia Baoyu's room.

Of course, I couldn't help but ask questions such as "what does the queen look like" and "is the eldest sister doing well in the palace".

"Yo, the second master is back. The girls are here, too, so please take a seat. ”

As soon as they entered, there was a maid with a water snake waist and shaved shoulders, and the appearance of the most iconic was greeted by Qingwen.

Qingwen has been in Jia Baoyu's house for half a year, except for being a little restrained when she first came, she slowly revealed her true nature.

It's really a clever and ingenious maid.

Let's not talk about the appearance first, everyone's eyes are bright, and everyone says that she was born Peugeot. The point is, her needlework and spinning skills are also better than other maids!

It's so rare.

If you live well and work more beautifully than others, how can you not be likable?

It's just that his temperament is too clever, his mouth is unforgiving, and his sword is fast.

Maybe this is also related to Jia Baoyu's indulgence of her as in the original book.

Because in Jia Baoyu's opinion, such an outstanding girl should let her show off her personality. Anyway, she was detained in this deep mansion compound, and she couldn't do anything out of the ordinary and detrimental to the interests of the Jia family, but it was just a few small things. quarrel with the maids, and use it as the seasoning of life for fun.
