Chapter 399: The Queen Mother summons
In this way, these people will also be grateful to the prince and surrender.
After all, the crown prince was the one who saved them from danger.
Of course, Jia Lian didn't know this, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
After all, as the current head of the Jia family, he helped the prince to do that part, and he was basically a well-known princeling.
Since it has been defined as a princeling, his Jia family will basically not be used in this routine.
Standing with his eyes and nose and rules, Jia Lian, like other courtiers, listened to the old emperor's endless tirade above.
"I think all the Qing family have already heard it clearly, what kind of situation the Zhen family has, I don't need to say it in detail, Zhong Aiqing should also know.
But even so, in such a situation, the Zhen family still stood up fearlessly and assumed their responsibilities, which is an attitude that I appreciate. ”
As if it were true, the old emperor nodded matter-of-factly, and looked at everyone below with a cruel look in his eyes.
"Of course, the Zhen family is also doing this, strictly speaking, it doesn't deserve to be praised by me so much, but what I want to say today is this!"
There was a pause, his eyes full of anger narrowed slightly, and the old emperor spoke word by word.
"Some people just can't see their own duties clearly, and it is natural to repay debts! Even ordinary people also know the truth of breaking their word and getting fat, but now some people are selfish, so they can't see clearly! ”
At the end of the early dynasty, the old emperor was still angry, and the ministers of the court did not dare to come out.
Jia Lian is better, after all, today's matter was already guessed as early as yesterday when he discussed it with Zhen Qi and Yao Baolinghou.
It's just that the emperor's attitude and approach just now, Jia Lian looked at it, but it seemed to have a bit of a paper tiger.
Otherwise, according to the old emperor's previous style, this time I am afraid that it will not just be beaten, but will directly pull people out to kill chickens and monkeys.
"Virtuous nephew."
Beside Jia Lian, the two marquis of the Shi family quickly came over and looked at the officials with sad faces around them, and the two of them did not look very good.
Since Jia Lian analyzed with them yesterday, the two of them discussed it for a long time, and finally they both knew that they could only rely on Jia Lian's idea.
But he never thought that the emperor would mention this early this morning.
Although the Shi family had already followed Jia Lian's advice, he was ready to start preparing for the repayment.
But the Shi family's background is there, and now they have no cash flow in hand, and if they want to repay the money, they can only sell their property for the time being.
But this property can't be sold in a day or two.
For example, the run-in of this price, such as finding the next home to take over, these will take time.
"Let's go back and talk."
Without waiting for the two of them to speak, Jia Lian spoke first.
Of course, he knew what the situation of the Shi family was, so when Marquis Zhongjing and Marquis Baoling looked for him at this time, he naturally understood the intention of the two.
At this time, it was just the morning court, and the officials on the road were coming and going, and the three of them greeted each other while walking, and they were about to leave the palace gate, but they saw a white and pure little palace maid standing at the palace gate.
The age doesn't seem to be very old, and it is estimated that they are not yet in the spring.
"I've seen Master Jia, the Queen Mother wants to see you."
The voice is crisp and pleasant, although it looks young, but the tone is very steady and sophisticated.
"Take the liberty of it, can the young lady tell the official the reason?"
With a smile on his face, Jia Lian was a little surprised.
To be reasonable, Jia Lian has never seen what the Queen Mother looks like since he came to this place.
In other words, this queen mother has nothing to do with him, so what does she tell herself to do?
Although nothing was revealed on his face, Jia Lian was actually secretly vigilant in his heart.
Originally, Jia Lian thought that he was also a third-grade official of the imperial court, but since he had already spoken, no matter what the identity of the little girl was, she would always reveal something.
It's a pity that it's different from what Jia Lian thought, although the little girl was slightly stunned because of Jia Lian's title, she reacted for a long time.
"Slave and maid don't know, please move."
didn't come back to Jia Lian's problem, and also turned a blind eye to Jia Lian's title, the little girl looked very old.
"In that case, why don't we two go to the house and wait for the time being."
Bowling Hou Zhongjing glanced at each other, but he never thought about whether Jia Lian would be in any danger, but thought about discussing the matter earlier today.
The New Year is approaching, and the Shi family has begun to prepare for the New Year's Rites in various provinces, but at this point, the emperor began to investigate the arrears, and they were really powerless.
"Okay, that's just the time to have to wait for the two of you."
I already scolded my mother in my heart, but Jia Lian didn't show it on her face at all, but opened her mouth very smoothly.
The little palace maid asked and answered him just now, and he had basically ruled out the danger, but the first thing the two marquis of the Shi family did was not to help ask, but it made Jia Lian feel a little uncomfortable.
The little palace maid stood not far from Jia Lian like this, bowing her head respectfully, and her every move was dignified and well-behaved.
For the two marquis of the Shi family and the farewell, they did not come forward to urge.
This made Jia Lian feel even more confident.
For so many years, Jia Lian has gone back and forth in this palace countless times, not to mention 100%, but he still knows eighty percent of these palace maids and eunuchs in the palace.
This little palace maid is young, but her behavior is very beautiful, and not only that, but she is also humble and polite.
Although such a palace maid and eunuch Jia Lian is not uncommon, it is rare for him to be able to do so well at this age.
After all, the age is there, so it is so outstanding that it is basically the person next to the Queen Mother.
It's just that she is still full of doubts about why the Queen Mother summoned her, and while walking on the road, Jia Lian tried her best to talk from the mouth of the little palace maid, but the little girl did not let go of her mouth with a deposit, and she didn't let Jia Lian pry out a word.
"The Queen Mother is inside, my lord, please."
Twists and turns, Jia Lian was in front of him most of the time when he entered the palace, but now he is getting deeper and deeper, Jia Lian can't tell where he has gone. Just looked up, but the three words of Shu Fangyuan on it were particularly eye-catching.
"The Queen Mother's ......"
Suspiciously speaking, Jia Lian looked at the closed door, there was no one at the door, and he was about to ask carefully, but when he turned his head, the little palace maid who led the way just now had long since disappeared.
"What's the situation?"
Muttering to himself, Jia Lian's vigilance, which had disappeared, struck again, looking at the closed gate and the quiet grass and trees around him, he hesitated for a moment.
I've never eaten pork, at least I've seen a pig run.
Even if Jia Lian hadn't seen the Queen Mother, he knew that the Queen Mother lived in Cining Palace, but why did he let him go to this Fanghuayuan this time?
And looking at this pomp, it's too shabby, and it's not even half extravagant.
Jia Lian can see clearly, although this Fanghuayuan looks neat, but these plants and trees all look lifeless, giving people a sense of ......
It looks like it hasn't been inhabited for a long time.
And the Queen Mother is such a noble figure, but there is not even a doorkeeper at the door.
I was suspicious in my heart, the little palace maid was trying to lead herself to this room again, Jia Lian was originally a coward, so she naturally wouldn't rush in stupidly at this time.
It was to bow his head and ponder seriously, and then look carefully left and right, Jia Lian looked at this Fanghuayuan, and looked at the surrounding environment, but he really didn't see a single figure.
"Hmph, why don't you come in yet!"
seemed to sense Jia Lian's idea of wanting to escape, and let Jia Lian enter the door directly, Jia Lian was a little resistant, but pacing back and forth to delay time, Jia Lian still would.
It's just that before Jia Lian could figure things out, a slightly older voice came from the door.
Hearing this, he was a little embarrassed and withdrew his foot that was about to slip away, and Jia Lian quietly looked at the door again.
The towering gate cut off the entire hall, and Jia Lian really didn't see what was going on inside from here.
"Huh? What does this mean, Lord Jia? ”
It seems that because Jia Lian didn't reply for a long time, the voice inside became more and more impatient.
"Please forgive the Queen Mother, it is Weichen who has a hidden disease in his legs, and he was fine just now, but it is unbearable pain in this way, so it is slower."
Without blushing, Jia Lian knew that it was not a way for him to walk around outside here all the time, and if he thought about it seriously, he really didn't seem to offend anyone in this harem, so thinking about it, there shouldn't be any danger.
Thinking like this, Jia Lian's heart was much more settled, so he strode forward directly, reaching out to open the door of Fanghuayuan.
"Squeak" sounded, Jia Lian entered the door, and the inside of the hall was a little dark compared to the brightness outside.
In the middle of the main hall is a statue of Guanyin, a person kneeling in front of him, and there are two grandmothers standing next to him.
"Xia Guan has seen the Queen Mother, the mother is a thousand years old, a thousand years old."
Straight and straight, Jia Lian bowed his head slightly, but his eyes were looking at the person in front of him with his back to him.
"Sit down."
didn't look back, took out a stick of incense and lit it directly after speaking, and then opened his mouth without looking back.
Jia Lian's arrival did not affect the progress of the person's worship of Guanyin, until Jia Lian watched the man put his hands together, and then kowtowed a few times towards the Guanyin statue before turning around.
"Brother Lian, long time no see."
The voice was crisp, and the clothes on his body were backlit just now, and Jia Lian couldn't see it clearly, but now he saw that it was Jia Yuanchun in palace clothes!
"Weichen has seen Concubine Xiande!"
His heart was shocked, Jia Lian really didn't expect that it was Jia Yuanchun who set up this bureau to arrest him.
But didn't Jia Yuanchun say a few days ago that he was seriously ill and was about to die?
Although he was already surprised in his heart, but in the current situation, Jia Lian had already seen that when he came in, the door behind him had been closed.
So if you want to escape, I'm afraid it's very dangerous, but now that the person in front of you is Jia Yuanchun, Jia Lian is worried at the same time, but he is also much more relieved.
Although he didn't understand what happened during this time, Jia Lian knew that judging from Jia Yuanchun's setback, although Jia Lian had been plotted by Jia Yuanchun not once or twice, he also knew.
No matter what kind of status Jia Yuanchun has in the palace at the moment, but now that so many things have happened, if Jia Yuanchun wants to take his life now, it will be very difficult.
So the initial horror flashed on his face, and Jia Lian forced himself to calm down.
"You and my sister and brother, why are you so angry?"
His eyes were shining, Jia Yuanchun said and helped Jia Lian, who was still bent over, to help him up, although it was fruitless, he was dodged by Jia Lian silently, and smiled bitterly, but he didn't have any temper at all.
"Niangniang might as well have something to say."
Detached and polite smile, Jia Lian glanced at Jia Yuanchun with a faint face, and there was no warmth in his eyes.
In the name of the Queen Mother, the result was such a lie, Jia Lian felt that if Jia Yuanchun was not stupid, then he must be stupid.
After all, along the way, Jia Lian has met many palace maids and eunuchs.
And the identity of the little palace maid who led the way seems to be extremely unusual. At least Jia Lian looked at the palace maids and eunuchs who came and went, and when she saw her, she had to call her sister, and then wait for her to leave before leaving.
With Jia Yuanchun's status, before he was "seriously ill", when he was in the limelight before, he did not see such treatment.
But now that I was tricked by a little-known little girl, it's really disappointing.
As if guessing what Jia Lian thought, Jia Yuanchun retreated everyone in the house, and saw Jia Lian holding his chest defensively, so he had to speak helplessly.
"You really don't have to."
Looking at the defensiveness on Jia Lian's face, Jia Yuanchun felt a little hurt, but thinking of the things he had done before, he felt that Jia Lian was not too much.
"Actually, I came to you this time, and I also had something to ask for."
Looking at Jia Lian quietly, Jia Yuanchun sighed.
"The little palace maid I brought you here just now is the palace maid who is served by the Queen Mother, and they are the same as the ones I called out, they are all people who have a handle in my hands, so I dare not disobey."
First of all, explain the position that Jia Lian is in, and the corners of Jia Yuanchun's mouth are slightly hooked.
"I think you should know, I have been seriously ill these days and have not recovered, and I should be recuperating in Fengzao Palace.
That's the talk of the outsider, but do you know why I'm here today and brought you here? ”
Although Jia Lian was a little wary of this Jia Yuanchun in his heart, he also knew that with Jia Yuanchun's strength at this time, he should be helpless, so he was more relaxed and more curious about this time.
"Niang Nianghui has a blue heart, and the lower officials are dull and unclear."
was not ready to guess dumb riddles with Jia Yuanchun, Jia Lian was very uncooperative.
had already guessed that Jia Lian would be like this, Jia Yuanchun showed a somewhat wry smile on his face, then took a deep breath, and knelt down in front of Jia Lian with a "poof" between the electric lights and flints.
"Brother Lian, I know that you hate me, hate me for giving you little shoes, hate me for instigating my father to set up his own door, hate me for stumbling on you several times, but now I have received the corresponding retribution, I beg you, please save my second room!"
Although he already knew in his heart that Jia Yuanchun should not do it this time, and he didn't dare to harm himself, he didn't expect such a thing to happen.
Directly taken aback by Jia Yuanchun's sudden move, Jia Lian was stunned.
"Hurry up, what does this mean?"
