Jia Lian and Qin Qing did not stay in the Qin family for long and left soon, and Qin Ye died subsequently.

Qin Ye had already prepared everything for his aftermath before his death, and as soon as he took a breath, Qin Zhong could easily handle it.

That night, in Qinqing's small courtyard, Jia Lian pressed on Qinqing's body to resist death. Qin Qing didn't care whether he could bear it or not, and asked again and again.

In the blink of an eye, it was the eighth year of Longzheng. During the Chinese New Year's Eve palace banquet in the seventh year of Longzheng, Jia Lian's title remained unchanged, and he was still a first-class uncle.

However, Jia Lian's second son, Jia Ying, was rewarded with a three-rank cloud lieutenant, so that Jia Ai's first-grade cloud cavalry captain in the sixth year of Longzheng was counted. Jia Lian's two sons both obtained the title of Yin Jue of the imperial court.

After Jia Zhen found out, she said to Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng with envy that even the two little nephews were almost higher than his titles.

After the first day of the Lunar New Year, the provincial relatives are close at hand.

On this day, Jia Lian handed a sign into the palace and asked to see the queen.

Even a diligent emperor like Emperor Longzheng would not go to Zichen Hall to work in these days of the New Year. According to the habit of the Son of Heaven in previous years, before the opening of the fifteenth imperial court, as long as there is no serious matter, he will accompany the queen in Fengzao Palace.

This is also a rare period of time for Emperor Longzheng to break away from the government and be idle all year round. Even if there will be a lot of palace affairs to deal with, it will be much more leisurely.

"Queen, see how I write this handwriting?" As soon as Emperor Longzheng finished writing a word, he beckoned the empress, who was dealing with affairs, to come over and take a look.

"Well, Your Majesty's Feibai is really more outstanding, and the concubines look at it, it is no worse than the authentic painting of Tang Taizong collected in the palace." Empress Song looked at it a little and said with a smile.

"What is the queen busy with, so insincere." Emperor Longzheng knew his own family affairs, and he was not good at writing since he was a child, but he liked this flying white body that was easy to learn and difficult to master.

After all, Guo Rong, Taizong of the previous dynasty, was very good at flying white bodies, and because of Li Shimin and Guo Rong, the sons of heaven in the Tang and Zhou dynasties would be excellent at flying white.

The preferences of the Son of Heaven influenced the elites at the top, and thus on all strata of society. After the founding of the Great Zheng Dynasty, the Heavenly Family also practiced flying white bodies.

However, Emperor Longzheng was very slow to learn this font, and even the master who taught calligraphy in the palace had euphemistically reminded him that Emperor Longzheng should learn an easier font. However, Emperor Longzheng refused.

After more than 20 years of diligent practice, his words can only be read. It would be too exaggerated to say that it is comparable to Li Shimin.

If there were other concubines accompanying him, it would not be strange to say that Emperor Longzheng said this. But the empress would not deliberately say such words that pandered to him, which Emperor Longzheng was very sure of.

Empress Song seemed to have just come back to her senses, and looked at Emperor Longzheng's words intently for a while: "It's really tasteful." ”

"I'm asking you what you're thinking?" Emperor Longzheng was really curious.

Empress Song was stunned for a moment, then picked up the document in her hand and said, "The concubine is looking at the process of this virtuous concubine. ”

Emperor Long Zheng took it and looked at it, and also frowned: "Why is it so late, so that when Concubine Jia arrives in Rongfu, isn't it dark." ”

Queen Song smiled bitterly: "This is also to blame the concubine for not thinking about it, I just chose a Lantern Festival day for her and thought it was very meaningful, but I forgot that every year during the Lantern Festival, a celebration ceremony will be held in the palace as a rule, as a concubine, the concubine may not be absent." ”

Seeing that Emperor Longzheng frowned and was silent, Empress Song knew that the Son of Heaven also thought of something: "I'm afraid, I'm afraid that Jia Lian won't be willing." ”

As he was talking, Xia Shouzhong came in to report: "Emperor Qi, Niangniang, Jia Lian of Rongguo Mansion asks to see." ”

"Look, here we are."

"Chen Jia Lian visits the emperor and the mother."

"Jia Lian, you have never been willing to come to this palace, this Fengzao Palace, this big year, why did you come by yourself." Empress Song knew why Jia Lian came, but she still decided to pretend to be confused, and Emperor Longzheng was silent.

Jia Lian also hesitated to go through this experience, but he always felt that it was a little boring to spend a year of preparation and spend a huge amount of money, but he could only let Yuan Chun stay at home for two or three hours.

"Niangniang, why do you ask knowingly. Today is the fourth day of the new year, and the Ministry of Rites has sent the process of the concubine's mother's pro-family to the Jia family.

Originally, the mother was able to go home to see that it was already the grace of heaven, and the minister should not say much. It's just that the big sister has been looking forward to going home and seeing it for a long time.

You can't let her go home once, but only stay for a while at night. Besides, the minister has exhausted his family wealth and built a provincial hospital, and he doesn't want to play a role only at night.

The minister is selfish, and he hopes that the emperor and the mother will understand. ”

Emperor Longzheng and Empress Song glanced at each other, and they both felt that it was very rare for Jia Lian to be so low and small. I also thought that the quasi-concubine of the Heavenly Family was provincial, originally to show favor to the Jia family, so that Jia Lian could be more down-to-earth. Of course, Emperor Longzheng also had some thoughts about Jia Zheng, but there is no need to say more.

Then, if the Jia family can't enjoy themselves, won't this kindness be greatly reduced.

Emperor Longzheng thought for a while and said: "In this way, Concubine Yuan, as the secretary of Fengzao Palace, cannot be absent from the luncheon of Jiuhua Palace in the morning and the Fengzao Palace luncheon at noon."

I will give you a grace, and after noon, the afternoon ceremony will not be attended by the concubine. In addition, I know that you are impatient with these etiquettes, on the day of the Lantern Festival, as long as you enter the Rong Mansion, all etiquette is waived, what do you think? ”

Jia Lian was overjoyed: "Thank you, Your Majesty Longen." As he spoke, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Emperor Longzheng.

"Get out!" Emperor Long Zheng scolded with a smile.

Seeing Jia Lian leaving, Empress Song said to Emperor Longzheng with some surprise: "Your Majesty, I really didn't expect you to give up such a great grace. "You must know that procedures such as worshipping Buddha in Baoling Palace, receiving banquets and watching lanterns in Daming Palace are also very important, not to mention that all etiquette is waived when entering the house, I am afraid that Queen Song does not have such a great freedom to go home by herself.

Emperor Long Zheng shook his head: "Of course I won't give it to him so easily, since I have given up such a great grace, Jia Lian should understand what he needs to give." ”

Touching Empress Song's face, Emperor Long Zheng didn't say much.

He still remembered that he discussed with Emperor Taishang in Jiuhua Palace about arranging for Concubine Jia and Concubine Wu to marry each other.

At that time, the idea was very simple, two two-character concubines, one to show grace, to envelop a real usable family for the imperial court. The other was fattened and used to make the chicken that he would later kill for the relatives and ministers.

Originally, the Jia family was actually more suitable to be that chicken.

Although the Wu family also has a lot of crossings, the father and son of the Wu family can be regarded as cadres in terms of ability. More importantly, the Wu family is not a noble family. Although the Wu family has also been inherited since the end of Taizu, Wu Tian and Wu Tian's father are both civil officials. The deterrent effect is somewhat insufficient.

However, the rise of Jia Lian changed the fate of the Jia family. The Jia family's mistakes have been cleaned up by him, and some loopholes in the Rong Mansion have also been filled by him.

In this way, a family of national honors who is honored by the country, since there is a family head who can carry the tripod, and there are no loopholes to catch, the heavenly family cannot move easily.

"It's okay, Jia Lian is smart after all, with him, the Jia family can continue to use it.

However, after all, the weight of one Wu family is not enough, the eight mansions of the founding of the country have been inherited for so long, and a few of them should be cleaned up, so let's count them together. ”

These are the original words of the Emperor Taishang. It is precisely because of his determination that Emperor Longzheng chose to give grace more thoroughly.
