Iron Net Mountain, the scene of Xuansheng at the time of autumn hunting is long gone, and between the entire vast mountains and forests, there are only late autumn slaughter and coldness.

Each mansion, except for sending domestic slaves out every day to fetch water and laundry, etc., all obediently wait in their own courtyards or camps.

Of course, there are also a large number of people who are quietly planning how to rescue their relatives and friends who are imprisoned in the dungeon or detained......

In the depths of the palace, the sleeping hall of the Emperor Taishang.

Ye Qiong stepped in, bowed to the Emperor Taishang above, and sat down according to the order.

"You can read the report that King Jing sent back last night."

"I've seen it. King Jing is talented, brave and strategic, but in a few days, the rebellion of the two princes has been quelled, and he has the qualifications of Wei Huo in the Han Dynasty.

The Emperor Taishang won this good grandson, which is really the blessing of the Emperor Taishang and the blessing of the court. ”

The Emperor Taishang was noncommittal, took off the hot cloth on his forehead and threw it aside, and then said: "Just now Wang Weiren came in and said that since King Jing has successfully taken the Jingshi, he still controls nearly 100,000 elite divisions in his hands, which is really a hidden danger. He and many courtiers were worried that they might repeat the mistakes of the second prince.

I want to ask, do you think the words of Wang Weiren and others are pure speculation? ”

Ye Qiong's heart was suddenly shocked, and the strong self-control that he had cultivated for decades prevented him from showing abnormality.

What does the Emperor mean by this?

The emperor of the capital is suspicious, is it possible that the emperor of the ether likes and favors King Jing and is not exempt from vulgarity?

Or, did the Emperor deliberately say this in front of him, did he have ulterior motives?

"What, is there anything you can't say?"

The Emperor asked in a soft voice. But it was this tone that seemed weak and less majestic than before that made Ye Qiong more cautious.

He pondered: "The old minister thinks that the concerns of Shoufu and others are not unreasonable, since the rebellion in the capital has been quelled, it is really inappropriate for King Jing to hold such a large number of people in control, why not order the imperial court to issue an edict to recall part of the army." ”

Ye Qiong's words can be regarded as thoughtful.

Ye Zhenzhen and Jia Baoyu have a marriage contract, and he is naturally on Jia Baoyu's side.

If it was another question, he would naturally help Jia Baoyu speak, but in the face of such a sensitive issue, the more he spoke to Jia Baoyu, the more he seemed to be suspected of "forming a party for personal gain".

Besides, if you think about it, the Emperor Taishang may not really be suspicious of Jia Baoyu.

If he didn't trust Jia Baoyu and didn't love him, he wouldn't have let go so wantonly before.

If the Emperor was really suspicious, he probably wouldn't have told him this.

Emperor Taishang seemed a little surprised, and asked: "Why, even you think that King Jing has the suspicion of supporting the army and self-respecting, and the tail is too big to fall?" ”

Ye Qiong shook his head, "The old minister naturally believes in the personality of His Royal Highness King Jing, but Shoufu's worries are not unreasonable, so the old minister is just telling the truth." ”

The Emperor suddenly let out a slight sneer.

"In order to marry your precious granddaughter to him, you did not hesitate to come to me to ask for marriage.

I still think how much you love him, but now that he is in Beijing, you don't even want to say a biased word for him? ”

Ye Qiong said: "As a great minister, the old minister should focus on the society of the country, and take personal preferences and family ethics as the lightest. ”

The Emperor shook his head slightly, and he didn't know if he believed this kind of fake big empty words.

But the Emperor did not mention the previous topic again. Let Feng Xiang and the others change him with a new hot cloth and put it on, and then leaned on the soft back of the Dragon Pagoda to recuperate his spirit.

After all, I'm old, and I can't compare to before, but after talking for a while, I feel a little tired physically and mentally.

Ye Qiong saw that the Emperor Taishang didn't speak, so he found some simple topics without saying a word and unilaterally said that he knew about the Emperor.

For a while, the waiter sent a report, Feng Xiang took it, and whispered in the ear of the Emperor Taishang: "Old Emperor, it was from King Jing." ”

The Emperor's eyes were still closed, and he only said: "Give it to the Taishi, let the Taishi observe it and say that I know." ”

"Yes." Feng Xiang presented the report to Ye Qiong.

Ye Qiong stood up, unfolded the report and read it, and replied respectfully to the Emperor: "Back to the Emperor, King Jing said in the letter that within today, he will completely deal with all the matters of the previous rebellion, so that the Jingshi can restore the order of the past.

In addition, King Jing asked the Emperor for the schedule of returning to Beijing. ”

The Emperor nodded indifferently.

After a long while, he opened his eyes and said, "In that case, then the class teacher will return to Beijing in two days." ”

……

Jingshi, in the Rongguo Mansion.

The news of Jia Baoyu's title to the king spread far and wide, and soon the entire Jia Mansion knew about it.

After noon, the mandarin duck saw that Jia's mother looked a little better, so he took the opportunity to tell Jia's mother the news.

Mandarin ducks have always been silent about Jia's mother.

After Jia Mu found out, she was surprised: "What do you say?" ”

Mandarin duck knew Jia's mother's reaction and told Jia's mother everything he knew.

Mother Jia was a little distracted when she heard this, and she couldn't tell her why she asked the mandarin duck to ask about it, so she asked Mrs. Wang and Wang Xifeng to call.

Mrs. Wang soon came to Jia's mother's bedroom.

Jia Mu asked sharply: "Baoyu mother, tell me, what is going on?" How could Baoyu be a royal bloodline? ”

Jia Mu's voice questioned herself.

If there is a problem with her grandson's bloodline, she naturally has a reason to question her daughter-in-law!

Could it be that there is such a scandal in the family?

was stared at by Jia's mother with a pair of sickly but still stern eyes, and Mrs. Wang only felt very aggrieved in her heart.

"The old lady Mingjian, the daughter-in-law doesn't know what is going on, when Baoyu talked to me about this before, the daughter-in-law is also the six gods and no master, I don't know what to do.

I have raised Baoyu for so many years, and the old lady has loved him for so many years.

Baoyu can't be royal blood, he's my lord's biological child......"

Mrs. Wang knelt directly in front of Jia's mother and sobbed.

Jia Mu didn't show any pity, and still asked, "So what's going on now?" Could it be that the royal family can make a mistake and give Baoyu such a noble prince? ”

Mrs. Wang was powerless to refute and could only cry.

"You might as well tell the truth!"

Jia Mu became more and more angry, and she wanted to withdraw from the accommodation regardless of her physical safety.

"What the daughter-in-law said is the truth, the old lady ......"

Mrs. Wang was really tired and panicked, and finally persuaded herself to face this matter calmly, but she didn't expect that she would have to bear the severe accusations and suspicions of her mother-in-law.

She is really unjustly panicked, she married into the Jia family when she was more than ten years old, and she has been staying in the house to run the family business with peace of mind, she doesn't even know a genuine Tianhuang noble, how can she not abide by the woman's way, have an affair with it and even give birth to Baoyu?

But this kind of thing is the most difficult to argue, looking at the few big maids standing in Jia's mother's house watching with a look of kinship, she even wants to die.

Wang Xifeng walked in on tiptoe, and saw that the atmosphere in the room was also a little cautious.

However, Mrs. Wang cried pitifully, almost losing the dignity of the wife in the past, and Jia's mother became more and more excited, and when something unbearable might happen if it went on like this, she finally couldn't help but speak.

"Old lady, wife......"

Waiting for Jia Mu and the others to look at her, she hesitated and said, "Fang Cai Lian Er came back from outside and said a few pieces of news, maybe he can explain the matter of Baoyu being crowned king......

Jia Mu and the others hurriedly asked what the news was. Wang Xifeng told what Jia Lian said in a way that she understood, and in a way that was more acceptable to Jia Mu and others.

But she underestimated the power of the statement.

Before she could finish speaking, Mrs. Wang straightened up in surprise and asked loudly, "What, are you saying that Baoyu really participated in the rebellion, and his prince was also obtained because of this?" ”

Mrs. Wang's reaction was too intense, even Jia's mother was frightened, her body was shaky, Wang Xifeng knew that she might have stabbed the basket, so she shrunk her neck and said weakly: "I don't know, these are all said by Lian Er himself......"

Mrs. Wang and the others are not far from Wang Xifeng's political insights, especially Mrs. Wang, who almost instantly believed what Wang Xifeng said.

Because she was too sure of the fact that Baoyu was her own son, it was obvious that this statement at this time was more in line with reality than what Baoyu said in the morning.

Seeing that Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang seemed to be scared silly, Wang Xifeng suddenly added something she thought was very important: "Don't worry, Mrs., now that the major events outside have been settled, Brother Bao has an army of 100,000 under his hands, and he alone has the final say in the city and outside the city." It's not a ......."

Wang Xifeng's heart was a little surging, the change of dynasty is so exciting, so nervous, so excited......

This is a story that is rarely heard in the play, I heard those storytellers say, such a big event, probably not once in hundreds of years, I didn't expect him to run into it, and, one of the heroes of the hero, or her man, think about the body is going to be crispy.

Wang Xifeng was not deep enough in the city, and what he thought in his heart also showed some meaning on his face.

Jia Mu happened to see it, and immediately scolded: "Hugh is talking nonsense, where does your villain know the danger of this?" Lian Er, don't tell him to come in! ”

It seems that Jia Mu has been frightened too much recently, and she has a certain immunity, and she feels a lot better at this time.

……

Unlike the stormy halls in the Eikei Hall, the inside of the Grand View Garden is very calm.

But beneath this calm surface, there are also some waves.

For example, in the autumn season, the mood of the spring is a little difficult to calm.

When she came back from Rongguo Mansion in the morning, she had been like this.

I can't read books, I can't read books, I want to go around, and I feel lazy to act.

Theoretically, Jia Baoyu has become more and more noble, and even became a prince, she should be happy, but when she thinks of the second brother who has always cared for and cared for her for so many years, and held her in the palm of his hand, maybe it was not her own brother, but the bloodline of the royal foster in their family, she couldn't help but feel a little sad.

No one wants to lose a loved one who cares for them so much.

However, she made a more embarrassing discovery, when she heard the news for the first time, her reaction was not the warm joy she should have, nor the sadness of being afraid of losing her brother, but a throbbing, a kind of snickering joy.

She was even a little afraid that what they were saying was just a rumor.

It wasn't until she saw the second brother himself and got confirmation from his mouth that she woke up to the inappropriateness of her thoughts, and then she began to have the normal reaction that she should have as a younger sister.

I am happy for him, but I am also sad that I may lose a brother.

Fortunately, he said it himself, no matter what, he was still their own brother, and she was only happy in her heart.

However, the ideas in the human heart are very tenacious, and once they exist, they simply disappear or remain without the will of the individual.

When she calms down, the emotions that make her shy, nervous and scared will force into her mind, making her unable to do things at ease.

As a result, for most of the day, she was a little lazy and confused, and the waiter and Cuimo thought she was sick.

It's easy to get rid of distracting thoughts, and take out a copy of the Taishang Induction Sutra that fell in her room last time to welcome the spring, and without reading a few words, she dropped the book and greeted her when she heard Baochai's visit.

"I'll take a look at you, what are you doing?"

"Thank you, Sister Bao, for your concern, just boring, just read the book."

It was normal for the sisters to visit and disturb each other, and she led Baochai into the house to sit.

Baochai picked up the book she put on the edge of the kang, smiled and said, "How can you also learn from the second girl", and then picked up the book and looked through it.

Tanchun smiled, looked up and saw that Baochai's skin was better than frost and snow, his face was like a peony, and between his gestures, there was a kind of elegant beauty that people didn't dare to look at directly, and he couldn't help but think: "There is probably only a woman like Sister Bao in the world, who can be worthy of her second brother, but it's a pity that ......"

I regretted for a while that Jia Baoyu and Baochai missed their marriage, and on the other hand, I felt a little unspeakably happy.

I couldn't help but think for a while: "I don't know how stunning the Ye family girl is, what about Sister Zhibao?"

Thinking that she has such a big reputation, even if her appearance is a little different from Sister Bao, her appearance must not be bad. ”

In this way, I can't help but feel a little tasteless in my heart.

Suddenly, his forehead was tapped by a light and soft finger, and when he came back to his senses, he saw Baochai joking: "What do you think, so obsessed?" ”

"No, nothing."

Baochai didn't doubt him, put down the book and proposed: "Since you are also boring, why don't we take a look at your sister Lin together." ”

Tanchun immediately smiled: "Okay, okay, hehe, Sister Bao, don't you know, Sister Lin is in a bad mood today......

"Oh?"

Baochai looked very suspicious.

Tanchun said bluntly: "It's not annoying the second brother, yesterday the second brother personally picked her up from the palace, and the second brother didn't tell her such a major thing for so long on the road, and she even learned about it later than us, so she was naturally unhappy." ”

Baochai said with a smile: "You and I don't have to worry about this, she is annoyed, and she has her own special person to coax her." ”

Exploring the Spring Festival, I immediately smiled.

Then Baochai didn't say much, and when Tanchun cleaned up a little, he led a few maids to Xiaoxiang Pavilion.
