Volume 6 Chapter 55 Happiness and Sorrow
Since the confinement, Zhang Jia Chuzhen likes to go to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers. It is when the spring flowers are blooming, admiring the flowers blooming in the garden and smelling the fragrance, which makes Zhang Jia Chuzhen's mood feel a lot more comfortable.
Qiong Jiu Gege was taken by Ma Jia Yiqing to raise her just a full term, the third elder brother Yinzhi has grown up, and the Meng Yao Gege she gave birth to has also reached the age of marriage, and it is also a good choice to hand over Qiong Jiu to Ma Jia Yiqing to raise. After all, in this regard, there is no one in the palace who is more qualified than Ma Jia Yiqing.
"I heard that this weeping begonia was transplanted from the south two years ago, and it only bloomed this year. Look, the flowers are a pale purple color, which is very beautiful. Jiaojiao happily pointed to the blooming flowers and said to Zhang Jiachuzhen with a smile.
Zhang Jia Chuzhen approached the flowers, closed her eyes to feel the fragrance of the flowers, and then she said: "I heard the emperor mention that when the begonias were just blooming, the emperor came to visit me, and the king promised to be there at that time. At that time, the emperor compared the king's promise to this weeping begonia. At the time, I didn't quite understand, but now it is appropriate to look at such beautiful flowers. The beauty of the king promised is really a little similar to this weeping begonia. And the king promised to like to wear clothes of such colors. ”
The master and servant were talking, when suddenly they saw someone coming from the other side. Zhang Jia Chuzhen saw the person coming clearly, and pulled Jiaojiao to hide aside.
"Niangniang has been preoccupied lately, and she is not very happy. But was it because of the wine order at the banquet that day? With affection, he was beside Lan Xin, and when he saw that his master was so upset and unhappy, he thought for a long time before asking.
Lan Xin stopped and looked at the flowers in the garden, but she couldn't arouse any interest in rewarding it, so she only reached out and folded a flower and played with it in her hand. Lan Xin said: "I came from a bad background, and Ama passed away when I was a child. For the sake of my livelihood, my mother and brother can't control me much. I entered the palace at the age of thirteen, and at that time I only knew a few words, and I couldn't even write beautifully. Over the years, despite my diligent contact, I have not been able to write a good hand. Fortunately, I am lucky, and I have the attention of Concubine Yi and the emperor, and I can have today's glory. It's just that I didn't learn well, and every time I came to that occasion, I was ashamed of myself. ”
Han Qing was a little puzzled, and hurriedly asked: "Concubine Rong was also born as a palace maid, Du Guiren and Zhen Changzai are not the same as those born in the three banners, and the slave maid heard that Du Guiren's status is low, but she never feels sorry for herself." ”
Lan Xin smiled bitterly and said to Hanqing: "You have just entered the palace, and you don't know many things. Concubine Rong was once the palace maid of the Empress Dowager Cihe, and she was exposed to the Empress Dowager Cihe, and she also learned seven or eight points. Du Guiren was once a proud disciple of Prince Yu Fujin Han Ji, she not only looks a little good, but also is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. In this palace, I'm afraid there is no one with the same talent as her. is Yifei, and she is also slightly inferior. And Zhen Chang is here, she is still young, she can speak, and she has two daughters and a son under her knees, and now she is loved by the emperor, but she is uncertain in the future. If one day the emperor gets tired of it, I am afraid it will be very sad. Everything in the palace is changing, and no one knows when it falls from the clouds. And one day it flew on the branches, no one knows.
Thinking thoughtfully, he listened to Lan Xin continue: "What's more, Zhen Changzai once offended Jing Concubine in order to win over the king's promise. Now, Concubine Jing and her have given birth to a son and a daughter, but her daughter was the first to be given a name by the emperor, and Concubine Jing is about to be confined. What do you think Jing Concubine will think? ”
When Zhang Jia Chuzhen heard this, she felt like thunder, and her whole ears felt buzzing. Hurriedly took Jiaojiao out of the imperial garden and returned to his dormitory.
Sitting on the couch, Zhang Jiachuzhen was uneasy. Jiaojiao knew Zhang Jia Chuzhen's worries, and hurriedly said: "Don't be like this, how can Concubine Jing be embarrassed by the little master because of such a thing?" It must be Concubine De who knows that we are there and deliberately said this. ”
Zhang Jia Chuzhen shook her head again and again: "No, she has a very small heart." Over the years, she has competed with Concubine Hua openly and secretly, who doesn't know in the harem? Now, Hua Concubine has taken refuge in Concubine Yi, and she naturally has protection. Jing Concubine can't move Hua Concubine, so she will naturally be angry with others. I remember that when Concubine Jing was framed, she suspected that Du Guiren had done it, and immediately alienated Du Guiren, and even alienated Concubine Yi, who she relied on when she entered the palace. Later, when the incident of Queen Xiaoyi happened, Concubine Hua made it clear that Concubine Jing was almost defiled, precisely because of Queen Xiaoyi. I used to be the person of Empress Xiaoyi, and I did things for her. Come to think of it, I have been competing for favor with Jing Concubine all these years, and I am the first to bear the brunt. At this juncture, do you think Concubine Jing can really tolerate me? In the coming day, she gained power, and I was rejected by the emperor, wouldn't she easily kill me? ”
Zhang Jia Chuzhen naturally understands the truth of being prepared for danger in times of peace, and now that Lan Xin is in a high position, she still has low self-esteem because of her poor family background and poor learning. What's more, a person like her who has nothing?
Jiaojiao was stunned, but she didn't expect that because of Lan Xin's few words, Zhang Jia Chuzhen had already thought of so many unknown dangers.
Zhang Jiachuzhen anxiously pulled Jiaojiao and asked her, "You are personally selected by me to wait by my side." At the beginning, Meng Ge'er and Qing Ge'er were both traitors, and they were both sent to me by Wang Tianru, that slut. Now, Wang Tian reaped the consequences of his own retribution, and was demoted to promise. I had a chance to dispose of those. Jiaojiao, are you likely to make me trust? ”
"Little lord rest assured." Jiaojiao immediately knelt on the ground and prostrated at Zhang Jiachuzhen's feet, showing her loyalty: "The little master is willing to carry the slave and maid, and let the slave and maid go from a burning girl in Changchun Garden to the luxurious ground like the Forbidden City to serve the little master, such a grace, the slave and the maid never dare to forget." ”
Zhang Jia Chuzhen was very pleased, so she pulled Jiaojiao to get up, and whispered in her ear: "Soon after Empress Xiaoyi died, Concubine De replaced Ji Xin, who had been waiting by her side for many years, and sent Ji Xin to Xin Zheku. What is the Xinzheku place? The minions there do the dirtiest and most tiring jobs in the Forbidden City. Ji Xin must have been very annoyed by Concubine De's move. It's just that, as a minion, she can't do anything. However, I can give her a chance to take revenge on Concubine De now. ”
Regardless of whether what Lan Xin said in the Imperial Garden today was deliberately said to her, Zhang Jia Chuzhen couldn't help but be on guard. Since someone wants to provoke trouble, borrow her hand to deal with Jinghao. Then she had no choice but to plan and lead to a disaster.
It's just that Zhang Jia Chuzhen never expected that the development of things deviated from her predetermined path.
"Little master, according to the plan, it will take two days to do it, why did the bad news come from Changchun Palace this morning, saying that the little brother died suddenly?" Jiaojiao couldn't understand it, she said anxiously to Zhang Jia Chuzhen: "And now Ji Xin can't find it, the slave maid went to Xinzhiku two or three times, but I haven't seen her." She originally promised to do well, didn't she change her mind? ”
Zhang Jia Chuzhen was very calm, she guessed: "Ji Xin was probably discovered. Don't go to the Xinzheku just yet. Although you have been very careful with these few times to deliver messages, it is inevitable that you will be noticed. Ji Xin's side, I will think of other ways to investigate. Remember, don't be suspicious at this time. Concubine Jing's son is gone, and it will definitely turn the world upside down. The emperor may not spare the murderer. If it was really Ji Xin's actions in advance, and when Ji Xin was arrested, you and I would have to clear up our involvement and push everything to Concubine De. ”
Jiaojiao was uneasy, but she could only do it.
Half a month ago, when she went to Xinzhiku to find Ji Xin, Ji Xin was carrying water by the well. Ji Xin used to wait in front of Lan Xin, and he had never done such heavy work. Since Bei Lanxin was sent to Xin Zheku, she has been doing all these heavy jobs. Her hands and feet were frozen and cracked in the cold winter, and even in early spring, they were not good.
Seeing that she was so happy, Jiaojiao threw an olive branch to her and told her that she could help her take revenge on Lan Xin. Ji Xin readily agreed, in Ji Xin's mind, she had never done anything to be sorry for Lan Xin. It's just that when she was sent to Lan Xin by Tong Ruofei, she had the consciousness of such an end. It's just that in the time of getting along, she thought that Lan Xin's difference to her would change her ending. In the end, however, she was disappointed. She is Tong Ruofei's person, and Lan Xin may have known about this matter for a long time, but she has been careful and silent. As soon as Tong Ruofei died, Lan Xin confessed to her. What else to say, if it weren't for the fact that she had never really done anything harmful, her fate would not have been limited to this.
At first, Ji Xin only felt that she was self-inflicted, but as Xin Zheku lasted for a long time, the more she suffered, the more uncontrollable her heart became. She didn't want to resent Lan Xin, but she didn't know who to blame. It wasn't until Jiaojiao found her that Ji Xin understood that her resentment towards Lan Xin could not be hidden in her heart for a long time.
Ji Xin has always been, and has never appeared in the Forbidden City again. Zhang Jia Chuzhen survived this catastrophe in all kinds of worries.
The death of the little brother born to Jinghao was not done by Ji Xin, but by the little brother's nursing mother. Little Brother died of suffocation, all because the night before, after Little Brother fell asleep, Little Brother turned over and slept on his stomach all night. Such a posture caused the little brother to breathe unsmoothly, suffocating and forgetting.
The nurse was originally going to guard the little brother all night, but because of the conflict with life during the day, she couldn't rest well. I was so sleepy this night that I fell asleep next to my little brother and didn't wake up until dawn.
Jing Hao naturally refused to let go of the nurse, and let Xuan Ye split the nurse. The pain of losing a child is too bitter. Jing Haolian has been sick for a long time, and the whole person has lost a lot of weight.
Zhang Jia Chuzhen's goal was achieved, but it put her in a dilemma. She didn't know who did it, but she felt an invisible pressure pressing on her, overwhelming her. If Ji Xin can't be found for a day, Zhang Jia Chuzhen will not be at peace for a day.
Fortunately, finally half a month later, Zhang Jia Chuzhen got the news that someone found Ji Xin's body in a mass grave. After checking, Ji Xin died of poison. Zhang Jia Chuzhen's hanging heart even mentioned his throat.
