Jiafu back street, Xianger Hutong.

West Chamber.

Baochai sat quietly on the edge of the kang, wearing a lotus blue pattern brocade cloud robe, a white hosta between the sideburns, and no flower pendant.

Plain and light.

The apricot eyes are indifferent, and there is no wind and rain and no sunshine.

But the breath on her body is not as dry as Li Kun.

It's another, cold life......

Ying'er stood by the door and looked at her girl with concern.

It's only been more than a month, and the girl is becoming less and less talkative.

Outsiders are only Dao Baochai is dignified and atmospheric, thoughtful and enthusiastic, and never lacks courtesy.

Duying'er knew that this girl of hers was a person who kept the rules of etiquette and numbers, refused to go beyond half a step, and hid foolishness.

However, there is a set of ambitions and ambitions in my heart.

Although he is warm and thoughtful, and his atmosphere is steady, the more such a person is, how can he not be extremely proud in his heart?

It's just that no one thought that things would turn out to be where they are today......

Ying'er was so worried that Baochai would continue to be cold until she buried herself in the "snowdrift" and withered alive......

But she is a girl, she can't even speak, what can she do?

At this moment, Aunt Xue pushed the door in from the outside, and Ying'er hurriedly squeezed out a smile and said, "Mrs. is here!" ”

Turning his head again, the coldness on Baochai's face had dissipated, and he also showed a smile and got up to greet him.

Aunt Xue's face was not very good, her eyes were red, she ignored Ying'er, walked into the room, and saw Baochai's unpleasant smile, tears flowed down, and she cried: "My son, I have wronged you!" ”

A daughter of such quality, but she has to be forced to be a girl in a hurry!

What is the praise of the good, and not the work of serving?

The light smile on Baochai's face also condensed when he heard this, and gradually became bitter.

After all, she was only a fifteen or sixteen girl, her heart was cramping, tears slowly fell from her eyes, she was clutching a handkerchief in her hand, and the back of her hand was white.

Seeing her like this, don't say Aunt Xue, even Ying'er cried in distress.

Aunt Xue hugged Baochai and cried loudly: "It shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be like this, it's all my mother's heart, and I complain that my mother is lost!" ”

If she hadn't sent someone to the Ministry of Rites to prepare her name, and she didn't refer to the matter of marrying the second prince, at least Baochai would have many other options.

How could it be like now, it has become a laughing stock for the major high-ranking houses in the capital, and no one dares to provoke.

Dare to provoke, the Xue family is even more disdainful......

You can't enter, you can't retreat, and you can't go back, and you can't toss the reputation of your daughter's family.

Now, she wants to praise a talented person who is going to be out of the cabinet, and she is still a dumb girl......

After this experience, there is even less room for choice.

And this person praised the good for a few years, and the talented people next to him praised the good, and it stopped in the year of the princess and the princess.

But the county lord of Changle has passed the year of peace, and he is going to marry Ningguofu, you know, the talented people praise the good is to eat and live with the princess and the county lord and study together......

Thinking of Baochai's difficulties in the future, Aunt Xue regretted her heart.

But Baochai, who had already thought more clearly, wiped away her tears, and persuaded softly: "Mom, if your fate is like this, is it your mother's fault?" Could it be that my mother will deliberately harm me? Besides, it was a very bad thing, but at this point, it is a good thing. And among these good things, there are two other good ......"

Hearing what she said, Aunt Xue was puzzled, and said, "It's a good thing that you don't have to go to the Second Prince's Mansion to suffer, but what's good?" ”

Baochai looked far away, and said softly: "Brother Qiang said, that Changle County Lord is a very quiet and inactive person, I heard that except for the art of disambiguation, there is nothing else to enter her heart, not an arrogant and tyrannical person." The second one is good, it is Yin Jiajun who is mainly married, it is Brother Qiang. Brother Qiang, in the end, they are familiar with each other, not to mention the love of the Jia family, even the brother's side is also excellent. In this way, it is better than going to a stranger's house. It's close to my mother, so it's not a separation......"

When Aunt Xue heard this, she felt that it really made sense, and nodded: "Don't say it, I can't even think of these ......" But then she reacted and asked urgently: "When will the daughter be able to leave the cabinet, and how can she find a good family?" ”

Hearing this, Baochai lowered her eyes and smiled lightly, and said, "Mom, how can you think about this now?" It's going to take two or three years, or three or five years, and there's no hurry. ”

Aunt Xue wants to cry again, is there any reason not to be in a hurry?

This year, Baochai will be fifteen, and in another three or five years, she will be an old girl!

However, the words urging marriage came to his lips and could not be spoken......

Baochai has fallen to this point, although she also blamed Jia Qiang, but when she found that Jia Qiang was already unattainable, it was far from being something that the Xue family could afford to offend, so she began to blame herself again......

Anyway, in the past two years, it's impossible to make a decision, and just wait.

"Don't worry, my brother and I have discussed that in the future, half of the family business will be divided into your dowry! Although your brother is not stingy, he also loves you very much, and he is not stingy. Mom's dowry back then will also be left to you! ”

Aunt Xue made a grand wish and said.

Baochai only smiled lightly, and didn't take it seriously......

If it really comes to that time, the one who can call the shots in the family may not be Aunt Xue......

……

Imperial City, Jiuhua Palace.

The one who should come will always come, and Zhang Laodao, who is clear and empty, reminded Jia Qiang to be careful that the heavenly master of Longhu Mountain took eye medicine in front of the emperor, and it was only two days of work, and sure enough, at noon, there was a waiter from the Yellow Gate in Jiuhua Palace who came to Jiafu to pass the decree and announce that he would enter the palace to see His Majesty.

In the palace, I saw that this Jiuhua Palace was becoming more and more like a Taoist palace.

The attendants who came and went to the Yellow Gate were not palace clothes, but Taoist robes.

Jia Jing built a nine-story star-picking building in Jiuhua Palace, which was not built by Jia Jing's family......

Sandalwood is pervasive, and there is actually a dojo in this deep palace......

Seeing this scene, Jia Qiang sighed in her heart, it would be impossible to bleed today.

This scene in front of him proves that after the last major event of the emperor's death, he went all out to incarnate and cultivate immortals, and he also hoped for immortality.

Jia Qiang is a little strange, above the history, the Son of Heaven who is a good Buddha cultivator is not unrecorded, and it is written in the history books, none of those emperors ended up well, why did none of the kings of later generations take it to heart?

Is it really for the sake of that ethereal immortality, even the brain is stunned?

As the attendants in Taoist robes traveled all the way to the inner hall of Jiuhua Palace, Jia Qiang saw the Emperor Taishang, whom he hadn't seen for nearly a year.

Compared with the drunken immortal upstairs, the current Emperor Taishang is thinner.

Wearing a green sermon robe, he had a bun on his head, but there was a white jade dragon hairpin inserted between the buns.

It was not a royal chair, but a futon wrapped in bright yellow silk brocade.

Not far from the imperial stage of the Emperor Taishang, there is another cyan futon, and a middle-aged Taoist sits on it......

After Jia Qiang made a big prostration, she could only kneel without hearing the shouting.

The sandalwood is ethereal, constantly spewing out from the dragon and phoenix beast incense burner.

In the sound of the node knocked out of the jade chime, the chanting of the Taoist scriptures echoed in the hall......

"Jia Qiang ......"

The indifferent voice came down from the outside, where did it seem to be a good minister of the Emperor Taishang who was pulled out of his hand......

Jia Qiang replied respectfully: "The minister is here." ”

Emperor Taishang slowly opened his eyes, his cheekbones were a little protruding on his clear face, looking at Jia Qiang's young and handsome face kneeling on the ground, it was difficult to hide a trace of envy and jealousy in his eyes, and his eyes became more and more cold, and he asked: "There is a Taoist sect to sue you, use power to bully people outside the world, and use soldiers to dominate the outside land." He has no filial piety, does not respect his grandfather, and obstructs his heart to the Tao. Can't you build a star tower in the inner house? Then I built the Star Picking Tower in this deep palace and asked, wouldn't I also be imprisoned? With your yellow mouth, you dare to ridicule me? ”

When Jia Qiang heard this, cold sweat flowed down her back, and after raising her head and glancing at the middle-aged Taoist, Yu Taishang Huang said: "Emperor Taishang Mingjian, the minister is a good minister appointed by the Emperor, how dare you ridicule the Emperor, let alone have a great rebellious heart." ”

The Emperor Taishang sneered when he heard this, and said, "My good minister? I see that you are afraid that you have already changed your feet, and under the guise of me, what are you doing behind your back? Don't you know? ”

Jia Qiang shook her head and said: "The Emperor Taishang, the sincere and respectful heart of the Emperor Taishang has not changed every day. If someone slanders in front of the Emperor, saying that the ministers are disrespectful, and even have the heart to ridicule the Emperor Taishang's Taoism, then this person must be a villain who tells right and wrong. Yes, the minister did dissuade his grandfather from entering the back house to build a star picking tower, but it did not stop his heart to the Tao, and now his old man is still cultivating in the Jia family. ”

"How dare you quibble? If I really can't kill you? ”

The Emperor Taishang was furious when he heard this, and reprimanded sharply.

Jia Qiang said: "The emperor wants to punish the ministers, which is naturally just a matter of will. But what the minister said is true! Emperor Taishang's cultivation was after his abdication, after 30 years of diligent administration for the Great Yan Jiangshan Society, and after the world was peaceful and Li Shu was peaceful. The Emperor Taishang has achieved the worries of the world first, and the joy of the world after the world. Whoever compares the grandfather of the minister with the emperor is the real ill-intentioned and rebellious person.

Although the son does not speak of the father, let alone the grandfather? However, in front of the emperor, the minister still has to say, how can the grandfather of the minister be compared with the emperor in the slightest? The grandfather of the minister was deeply favored by the emperor and received the great favor of the imperial court, but after he was admitted to the meritorious service of the scholars, he did not report the emperor's grace, and did not do anything beneficial to the country and the people for a day. The Emperor Taishang first sought well-being for the country, the community and hundreds of millions of Li Shu, and built the grand merits of the past and present, and then cultivated his own body and the avenue.

Who is so ill-intentioned, mentioning the grandfather of the minister and the emperor, please kill this thief!!

The emperor, the minister knows, no matter how much he says, it is difficult to win people's trust. But in order to repay the emperor's deep kindness, he searched the world for a year and finally found a treasure. I wanted to wait until the day of the emperor's longevity to offer it, so as to become auspicious and help the emperor find the avenue!

But today, for the sake of the loyalty of the witnesses, I have to pay tribute in advance.

What kind of thoughts did the minister have about the Emperor Taishang's cultivation, the Emperor Taishang can know when he looks at this treasure! ”

When the Emperor Taishang heard this, his face was a little uncertain, and after glancing at the middle-aged Taoist, he still said: "What kind of treasure are you talking about, so that I can know your mind at a glance?" ”

Jia Qiang said: "Please give the Emperor a piece of water!" ”

When the Emperor heard this, he raised his chin with Wei Wu, the great eunuch wearing a Taoist robe, and Wei Wu hurriedly sent Xiao Huangmen to fetch a glass of clear water and came back.

After Jia Qiang took it, she praised it in her heart, put the tea cup tattooed with the image of Sanqing Dao on the ground, and then took out a rosewood box from her sleeve pocket, opened it carefully, and took out a piece of rosewood beads that were not good-looking, and put them in the clear water.

The beads fall to the bottom of the lamp, then float upwards, and then gently rotate in the middle of the lamp.

The Emperor Taishang didn't understand what he meant, but the middle-aged Taoist was already so excited that he stood up and opened his mouth, but he didn't make a sound, as if he was afraid of alarming what was going on.

The Emperor Taishang first frowned and glanced at him, and then when he looked sideways at Jia Qiang, his eyes widened!

He also got up excitedly, walked down the Dan Majesty Imperial Platform step by step, and looked at this scene in disbelief......
