Chapter 49: Birthday
Xiang Xiaoqin sat on the chair in a daze, she knew that she had made a fool of herself in the front hall today, many people had seen this, and the emperor would soon know that she had to seize the opportunity to make the emperor pity her even more.
Xiang Xiaoqin asked Xiuyun to invite the imperial doctor, and asked Xiuyun to find someone to spread the news that she was injured in order to send tonic soup to the emperor.
"Xiuyun. You go and ask if he asked me about it. ”
"You're not dead yet?"
"This time there was an accident, I don't believe he will be indifferent, just looking at his kindness to Jia Min, he is not cold-hearted."
Xiuyun really didn't know what to say. She now regrets helping Xiang Xiaoqin calculate Lin Ruhai, if she lets Lin Ruhai know, she doesn't dare to think about the consequences. Thinking about the Wang family who was still in the family temple and Wang Ziteng, who had been thinking behind closed doors at home, Xiuyun felt that she couldn't let Xiang Xiaoqin mess around like this anymore, otherwise she wouldn't be able to complete Master Zhen's task, and it would be troublesome if she offended Lin Ruhai. Master Zhen has explained that he can only make friends with Lin Ruhai and not with evil, Xiang Xiaoqin almost offended Jia Min last time in Li Mansion, and no one in the entire capital knows that Jia Min is Lin Ruhai's counterscale. If the seduction fails this time, it must not be continued, and Lin Ruhai's shrewdness is likely to be suspected.
"If you still won't give up, then I'll have to give up on you." Xiuyun said lightly.
Xiang Xiaoqin stared at Xiuyun in disbelief, she bit her lip and told herself in her heart: Don't worry, she can only have the ability to ask for everything she wants if she climbs to a high position.
"I know, I won't provoke Lin Ruhai again in the future."
September 27 is Jia Daishan's birthday, because this year is Jia Daishan's 50th birthday, so the Rongguo Mansion is full of people, full of friends.
Now the inner house of Rongguo Mansion is managed by the Zhang family, and now the Zhang family is busy with his feet not touching the ground. Mother Jia was lifted by Jia Daishan today, and she was happily telling the Duchess of Zhenguo and Concubine Nan'an about Jia Zhu's interesting stories.
"Duchess Rongguo is really blessed, I heard that your second grandmother and aunt are also pregnant, and your house has grandchildren this year!"
"Huh! It's all bodhisattva blessings. ”
"Why didn't you see your aunt and grandmother today?" Duchess Zhenguo asked.
"Yes, why didn't you see Min'er today?" Concubine Nan'an also asked.
"There are too many people in the house today, and her sister-in-law can't be busy alone, so Min'er took the initiative to help, and her sister-in-law didn't dare to let her do any heavy work, so she let her go to the kitchen to keep an eye on the dishes."
"Min'er is seven months pregnant, right?" Nan'an Taifei said.
"yes, it's been almost seven months!"
"Why don't you see your second grandmother on such an important day today?" Princess Dongping interjected.
Mother Jia glanced at Princess Dongping, and said with a smile: "Her fetus is unstable, and the imperial doctor has worked hard to keep the fetus, and now she is still raising the fetus in bed." There are a lot of people today, and I was afraid that one of them would not pay attention to any mistakes, so I didn't let her come. ”
Princess Dongping hooked her lips and smiled, no longer speaking.
Here, Jia Min sat on a chair outside the kitchen, eating snacks, and said to Mo Lan and Wei Zi: "There are so many people here today, I think there must be hundreds of tables of banquets prepared by this kitchen!" ”
"There should be a lot, Rongguo Gong is highly respected and has a transcendent status, who in this capital does not want to climb Rong Guogong?!"
"Wei Zi, don't talk nonsense!" Mo Lan scolded lightly.
Wei Zi pouted and bowed his head silently, but Jia Min shook his head and said, "What Wei Zi said is right, but it's better not to talk so rampant in the future." ”
"Yes, madam, the slave will definitely change in the future." Wei Zi smiled flatteringly at Jia Min.
Jia Min glanced at her, "Why hasn't Dongmei come back yet?" ”
"Madam, the slave is back!"
Mo Lan said to Dongmei who ran in: "But it's a coincidence, just as you said that it's really slow for you to find out the news, you came in." ”
"Oh, there are too many people today! The lord asked me to tell my wife that I was ready to pay homage to my birthday, so let my wife pass slowly. ”
"Why didn't you say it sooner, you damn girl." Jia Min immediately stood up and went to the front yard.
Lin Ruhai saw his little wife coming over from a distance. Jia Min has been pregnant for nearly seven months, and she has not been blessed, but her belly is a lot bigger. Every time Lin Ruhai saw her small body, but she was carrying such a big belly, she felt distressed. Today, he also went to beg his father-in-law to prevent Jia Min from entertaining guests in front, and he collided with each other.
Lin Ruhai walked quickly to Jia Min's side, "Go slowly, don't be in a hurry." I haven't started to worship yet. He held Jia Min's waist with one hand and Jia Min's stomach with one hand, looking cautious.
"Don't be so nervous, husband, I'm fine!"
"When I see you walking around with such a big belly, my heart goes up and down."
Jia Min smiled like a flower, "It's only been less than seven months, what can I do with the remaining three months!" ”
Lin Ruhai frowned and said seriously, "Why don't I go and invite Imperial Doctor Hu to the house to stay for a while?" ”
"Husband, I'm pregnant, not that I'm seriously ill, what's the matter with you asking Mrs. Hu to live in the house!" Jia Min said angrily.
"Okay, listen to you, but the midwife has to enter the house in advance."
Jia Min really didn't want to say anything to Lin Ruhai anymore, so he nodded perfunctorily.
In the front yard, in the hall of Rongguo Mansion, Jia Daishan sat on the main hall, and behind him was a big longevity character more than one person high. Jia Daishan was wearing a new dark red brocade robe embroidered with the word Baishou today, with algae-soled boots on his feet, and a crown of gold silk and red treasures.
Just as he was about to start his birthday greetings, Lai ran in and said, "My lord, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived outside the gate!" Jia Daishan was stunned for a moment, then immediately got up and said, "Please go out with the old man to greet His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”
Everyone didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Prince, who had never interacted with courtiers and nobles, would actually come to pay homage to the Duke of Rongguo. It can be seen how high the status of Rong Guogong is in the emperor's heart, if it is not for the emperor's approval, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will never come.
Jadaishan took the lead, and everyone knelt down and saluted after him. The crown prince supported Jia Daishan before he knelt down, "Rong Guogong doesn't need to be polite, today this palace is a junior who came to pay tribute to his uncle's birthday, everyone get up!" ”
Everyone got up one after another, and Jia Daishan led the prince into the gate of Rongguo Mansion. When he walked to the door, when the prince looked up and saw the five gilded characters on the door, he knelt down after a little grooming. Everyone was shocked, and only heard the prince say: "The word of the father is here, and the Rongguo Mansion is even more magnificent."
Everyone knows that the plaque on the gate of Rongguo Mansion is handwritten by the emperor himself, but no one has ever realized what these words mean. Today's move by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince undoubtedly proves once again the high status of Rong Guogong. From then on, anyone who came to Rongguofu had to kneel and salute, and the prince knelt, who dared not kneel? No one dared to make trouble in front of Rongguo Mansion.
