Chapter 714: Calculation

After listening to Concubine Zhao's words, Jia Zheng pondered for a long time, and then said: "This matter is not a trivial matter, the current eldest brother is different from before, you go to Mrs. now, and ask her to wait a few days before going to the test, so as not to look bad when you get it." ”

Concubine Zhao was a little reluctant to deal with the Queen Mother, "The Emperor, you might as well send a eunuch over to talk to the Queen Mother." If I pass, the Queen Mother will have a face that is not a face, and a nose that is not a nose, where can I speak when the time comes. ”

Jia Zheng could only nod helplessly when he heard this, if Aunt Zhao had stood in front of Mrs. Wang before, she would naturally not even be able to raise her head.

But now the identity has changed, Aunt Zhao has become Concubine Zhao, and Mrs. Wang has also become the Queen Mother.

Although the identity of the Queen Mother still presses Concubine Zhao, Mrs. Wang is not Jia Ke's biological mother after all, so she is not as straightforward as she was before facing Concubine Zhao now.

And Jia Zhengjia felt that there were some two-faced displeasures among his wife and all his concubines.

Jia Zheng hurriedly called his personal eunuch Wang Shun.

"You go to the harem and talk to the Queen Mother, Xue Baoqin's matter is put aside for the time being, and it's not too late to test it after a while."

Besides, the queen mother left the main hall, and just returned to the apse, ready to rest, who knows how long she has not been sitting and finished, and the king asked to see her by the way.

When the Queen Mother called Wang Shun in front of her, and asked the reason, she learned that Jia Zheng had repented of what she had just said, and even asked her to temporarily stop and observe for a period of time before making a decision.

The Queen Mother hadn't heard the rumors in the palace, so she didn't know what Jia Zheng meant, and she didn't know what Jia Zheng asked her to observe.

It's just that since Jia Zheng has spoken, the queen mother doesn't dare to disobey, so she can only sulk in the harem.

is talking about the current Chengqian Palace, where Xue Baochai and Xue Baoqin sisters are talking.

Xue Baochai looked at the innocent and unparalleled Xue Baoqin in front of him, and he was also very envious in his heart.

If he had a color like Xue Baoqin, Jia Ke would definitely be like Qin Keqing who was favored back then, and he couldn't leave his side.

"Sister, is the family okay now?"

Xue Baoqin showed an innocent smile on his face when he heard this, "Very good, now my brother is doing business with Brother Pan, and he also has some savings, and he told me a few days ago that he wants to save some more money, live in a house outside, and then marry me a sister-in-law." ”

Xue Baochai smiled and nodded, with the current situation of the Xue family, Xue Pan just can't do business, and those big merchants will naturally send money to his pocket.

And as long as Xue Pan helps Xue Tador a little, it will be enough for Xue Tador to soar in Beijing.

Xue Baochai didn't think about Xue Zhen's matter now, but asked, "How is your relationship with the Mei Hanlin family?" ”

Xue Baoqin's face immediately turned red with shame when she heard this, and she sat there squirming and didn't speak.

Xue Baochai wanted to laugh a little when he looked at him, but this was related to his future plans, so it was better to ask clearly.

"It's just us sisters here, what about you?"

Xue Baoqin heard that Xue Baochai insisted on asking, and he wanted someone to take a closer look, so he said: "I heard my brother say that Mei Hanlin's family has now been sent to other places as officials, so they are not in Beijing. However, before leaving, I asked a friend to leave a letter, asking my brother and I to stay in Beijing for a year or two, and wait until his family returned to Beijing to hold a family affair. ”

Xue Baochai frowned a little after hearing this, Xue Baochai is still clear about Mei Hanlin's family, he and Xue Baoqin and their family have not been in contact for a long time, originally Xue Baochai thought that their relatives were yellow, but he didn't expect that this was Mei Hanlin who left a letter.

However, Xue Baochai is such a smart person, and after thinking about it carefully, he understands the truth.

In the past, although Xue Zhen had the help of the Xue family, it was a dilapidated household after all.

That Mei Hanlin is also from an official family, and the second Xue family when Mei Hanlin's son and Xue Baoqin just got married, and Xue Baochai's father supported him, he can be regarded as a wealthy family, and Mei Hanlin naturally wants to stammer.

And since Xue Baochai's father died, the Xue family has gone downhill, and Xue Baochai's house is even more dilapidated and dilapidated.

I think it is that at that time, Mei Hanlin had the heart to regret his marriage, but who knew that Jia Ke was in charge of the court, and even ascended the throne and sat in the palace at the end, and because of Xue Baochai, the Xue family began to restore its old appearance and soared.

In this way, Mei Hanlin naturally took a fancy to the connection between Xue Baoqin and Xue Baochai, and wanted to take the lady route, so he naturally took this family business very closely.

Xue Baochai thought about it, now this Mei Hanlin is an obstacle to his own plan, and it seems that he will find a way to let the emperor and Xue Baoqin cook raw rice.

As long as the emperor favors Xue Baoqin, does that Mei Hanlin dare to find trouble with the emperor openly?

However, this matter must be clarified with Xue Baoqin first, otherwise I don't know how much of a joke it will make in the end.

"Sister, I look at this Mei Hanlin family, and it is not a reliable family."

Xue Baoqin originally wanted Xue Baochai to give her ideas, but now she was a little nervous after listening to Xue Baochai's words. She was now staring at Xue Baochai with two big eyes, wanting her to finish her words.

Xue Baochai looked at Xue Baoqin's delicate appearance, and his heart was in a trance, and Xue Baochai was even more determined to send Xue Baoqin to Jia Ke's side in order to pave the way for his children.

Even her own woman was stunned when she saw Xue Baoqin, not to mention Jia Ke, a big man.

"If you want to say that this family affair was set for you when my father was there, but since the marriage, our family has been a little ruined, so Mei Hanlin has never contacted their family again."

Xue Baoqin also looked a little gloomy when she heard this, although she said that she was naΓ―ve, but she was not a fool, now that Xue Baochai said this, she also understood Mei Hanlin's thoughts in her heart.

"Now that our family is developed, we can be regarded as a relative of the emperor in the capital, and there is a number one person. But that Mei Hanlin was only a prefect outside, and the little five-grade official naturally wanted to rush to our family, so a person who hates the poor and loves the rich is probably not a good match for his sister. ”

Xue Baoqin had tears in her eyes when she heard this, and she didn't know what to do.

Xue Baochai wanted to laugh when he saw him like this, but his face was very pitying, he took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears, and then said: "This is not a big deal, what to cry about." ”

As soon as Xue Baoqin heard Xue Baochai's words, she knew that she had an idea, and hurriedly grabbed Xue Baochai's hand and asked anxiously, "What can my sister do?" ”

"Isn't it easy? In a few days, the emperor will come here, I will prepare a banquet, you accompany the emperor to drink a few glasses, if the emperor catches his eye, the glory and wealth will be inexhaustible in the future, and then Mei Hanlin still dares to compete with the emperor? ”

Xue Baoqin didn't expect Xue Baochai to say such embarrassing words, and immediately lay on the bed with a flushed face, twisting up and down.

Although Xue Baoqin was lying on the bed, she recognized Xue Baochai's idea in her heart.

In the past few days, she has lived in Xue Baochai's Chengqian Palace, and when she saw Xue Baochai's food and clothing, she was very envious of the living environment.

I always fantasize about what a beautiful day it would be if she Xue Baoqin was like Xue Baochai.

Now that Xue Baochai has given her a way out, she naturally has to follow this path.

Xue Baochai didn't understand where she didn't understand when she saw Xue Baoqin's appearance, this was her promise.

Xue Baochai originally wanted to let Xue Baoqin's martial arts help him, but now that he saw Xue Baoqin agree, there was a sour feeling in his heart.

But Xue Baochai is a very rational person, and as soon as the jealousy gushed out, she pressed it down again.

Now Xue Baochai no longer regards competing with other women for Jia Ke's favor as the first priority. Her idea now is to let her son take the lead in the future competition for the position of prince.

Because Jia Zhi, the king of Chu, should be the rightful prince, but Jia Ke has been on the throne for a year or two, and Jia Ke has not been canonized as the crown prince.

Since Xue Baochai saw the contradiction between them, he naturally wanted his son to become the future lord of the world.

But now it seems that Jia Ke attaches great importance to the balance of the harem, and he can't reverse Jia Ke's thoughts with his own strength.

Therefore, Xue Baochai thought about letting Xue Baoqin serve Jia Ke with him, and the two sisters were natural allies in the palace, and they could also increase the power of their son Jia Hui, the king of Qi, in the future.

Make sure that since you have this idea, you will naturally implement it immediately.

And Xue Baochai is also afraid of long nights and dreams, because when the Queen Mother came to visit Aunt Xue a few days ago, she looked at Xue Baoqin's eyes but there was something wrong, and then thinking about the relationship between Baoying and Lin Daiyu, Xue Baochai still didn't understand what the Queen Mother was thinking.

So Xue Baochai ordered the eunuch to send a message to Jia Ke that night, saying that he had not seen the child for many days and missed his father, so he set up a banquet in Chengqian Palace and invited Jia Ke to the banquet.

And Jia Ke originally thought that he hadn't been to Xue Baochai these days, so he should go over and take a look these days, after all, he couldn't be too cold to her.

Now that he has received Xue Baochai's message, he will naturally push the boat down the river.

When Jia Ke's Luan drove to the gate of the palace in front of the city, Xue Baochai had already taken Xue Baoqin and the palace maids and eunuchs to kneel at the door to greet him.

Jia Ke got off Luan, came to Xue Baochai and helped him up with a smile, and then looked to the side, only to see a beautiful woman kneeling next to him with a beautiful color and a cute look. Jia Ke couldn't take his eyes off this look.

Just because this woman is so beautiful, only Qin Keqing at her peak in the palace can slightly surpass her.

And now in the palace, I'm afraid this woman is the first.

Xue Baochai saw Jia Ke looking at his sister, his eyes couldn't leave, and he was a little jealous in his heart, but he still said to Jia Ke with a smile on his face: "Long live, this is my mother's sister Xue Baoqin, and the concubine took her to live in the palace for a few days." ”
