In recent days, Jia Lian has been busy with the matter of changing rice to mulberry, because some tenants do not know much about planting mulberry trees, Jia Lian inevitably has to bother to advise, although a little tired, but in the end it is enjoyable.

At the same time, Sister Feng has already arranged the gift for Concubine Yuan's birthday.

On this day, Jia Lian was laughing with the little girl outside the house, and Sister Feng shouted: "Second master, you come into the house." ”

Jia Lian answered, walked into the house, and said with a smile: "Lady, I don't know what to order?" ”

Sister Feng made a charming look, these days of getting along, she and Jia Lian have a unique tacit understanding, said: "A few days will be Niangniang's birthday, and then the old lady and the wife will go to the palace to celebrate Niangniang's birthday." I pondered that before that, the second master should send the birthday gift to the palace first. ”

Jia Lian smiled and said: "It should be so, I will send a message to my father-in-law in the palace tomorrow, and with the permission of my mother, I will enter the palace." ”

It is said that Yuan Chun has been in the palace since he was thirteen years old, and it has been more than six years, and now he has chosen Fengzao Palace and become a concubine, and his status in the harem has reached its peak.

It's not easy to be an emperor's woman, Yuan Chun has a lot of emotion about this, since she entered the palace, she has only come back to her mother's house twice, and the deep mansion compound where she gave birth to her and raised her has become strange and distant.

There are only a few meetings with relatives every year, and because of the courtesy of monarchs and ministers, they are not as cordial and casual as when they were young.

Whenever he misses his relatives, Yuan Chun secretly weeps.

Now it is his birthday, Yuan Chun is looking forward to meeting his family early, yesterday the eunuch came to pass the word, saying that the government sent someone to send a birthday gift, Yuan Chun was kind early, but I don't know who came this year.

On this day, Yuan Chun was bored and frolicking in the garden, this is the pain of being the emperor's concubine, although there is endless glory on his face, in fact, he is just a canary shackled in a cage.

Suddenly, the eunuch in front of him came to report: "Niangniang, the second son of Rongguo Mansion Lian has arrived, and he is waiting in the hall at this moment." ”

Yuan Chun was slightly stunned: "It turned out to be him?" ”

Yuan Chun and Jia Lian are of the same age, and when they were still in the boudoir in previous years, they often played with Jia Lian, and at that time, they saw Jia Lian's handsome and chic, and he was the most outstanding appearance among his brothers and sisters, but he didn't see each other a lot over the years.

The eunuch reminded: "Niangniang, can you go and see me?" ”

Yuan Chun came back to his senses and said, "And let the second son of Lian wait for a while, and I'll go and change my clothes." ”

Jia Lian didn't remember whether he had been here before, he had no memory of his predecessor at all, and he didn't know anything about Yuan Chun's appearance.

He sat in the hall and waited, the maid served him tea and pastries, the maid in the palace had many rules, and her gestures were soft-spoken, and she refused to say a word, and she took one more step, not at all like the maids and women in Jiafu, who wanted to ride on the master's head to pee.

Jia Lian said secretly in his heart: "If you turn around, you have to deal with those maids who don't follow the rules." ”

Just as he was in his trance, Jia Lian saw a young woman dressed in a gorgeous costume with a peach blossom face walking into the hall.

Jia Lian saw that the woman had a slender waist and thin legs, a soft body, and a noble temperament between her gestures, which was by no means comparable to ordinary women, presumably this was Jia Yuanchun.

Jia Lian hurriedly knelt down on one knee and said, "Jia Lian has asked the concubine to say goodbye, and I wish the concubine Niangniang good health." ”

Yuan Chun, supported by the maid, slowly walked to the couch in the hall and sat down, and said softly: "Brother Lian has worked hard all the way, get up and sit down." ”

Jia Lian thanked him, sat down to the side, and said, "Niangniang, I am ordered by the old lady and Mrs. to come to congratulate the gift, this is the gift list." ”

Jia Lian said that, handed the gift list to Yuan Chun's personal maid, and the maid handed the gift list to Yuan Chun.

Yuan Chun opened the gift list, took a cursory glance, put it aside, and said: "Thanks to the old lady and the wife, although I am blessed with the grace of God now, as the saying goes, the tree is a big move, and you should be more frugal." ”

Obviously, Yuan Chun was dissatisfied with Jiafu's preparation of such a rich congratulatory gift.

Last Lantern Festival to save relatives, Jiafu in order to support the façade, built the Grand View Garden, hollowed out the foundation of the family, although Yuanchun did not know all these things, but also knew a little bit about one or two, when even good words to persuade each other.

Now seeing this gift list, Yuan Chun is worried again, but he is afraid that what he said at the beginning has not taken effect.

Jia Lian noticed that Yuan Chun's mood was wrong, so he said: "Originally, my wife said that Niangniang never liked extravagance, and I am afraid that the birthday gift is the same. It's just that the old lady remembered that it was the mother who chose Fengzao Palace this year, and she should think more about it as a mother, so as not to let the mother lose face in the palace. ”

Yuan Chun saw that his mother's family was thinking about himself everywhere, and his heart couldn't help but get excited again, and the corners of his eyes were a little moist.

"...... Be careful. Yuan Chun's personal maid persuaded.

Yuan Chun waved his hand and said, "You guys should retreat first, Second Master Lian is my mother's brother, I have something important to say to him." ”

"Yes." The maid answered and retreated, and the other maids and eunuchs also retreated, leaving only Yuan Chun and Jia Lian in the hall.

Yuan Chun said: "Brother Lian, how is everything at home?" ”

Jia Lian knew that Yuan Chun was missing his family again, so he took out a scroll, handed it to Yuan Chun, and said, "Niangniang, please take a look." ”

Yuan Chun didn't know what medicine was sold in Jia Lian's gourd, and there didn't seem to mention this scroll in the gift list just now, but he still took the scroll and opened it slowly.

"This ...... Is this, old lady? Is this the wife? ”

Yuan Chun opened the scroll, and what caught his eye was a portrait of all the members of Jiafu!

And the scene in the painting is the scene when the concubine was provincial.

Jia Lian paid close attention to Yuan Chun's reaction, and he invited three of Jinling's best painters to complete this portrait together, in order to relieve Yuan Chun's longing.

Jia Lian saw that Yuan Chun was fascinated, and said: "Niangniang, time is tight, I can only paint it like this, I hope Niangniang will not blame." ”

Yuan Chun looked at the characters in the painting lifelike, as if he was there, and returned to that night, relatives reunited after a long absence, laughing and guessing lantern riddles, what a fascinating picture!

Yuan Chun trembled and held the scroll, his eyes couldn't help but redden, and said, "Brother Lian, this is what you asked someone to paint?" ”

Yuan Chun didn't pay attention, and the way he called Jia Lian changed back to the former "Brother Lian", the last time she called Jia Lian like this, the two were still able to play together in Jia's mansion.

Jia Lian took a step forward and replied: "I guess Niangniang has lived in the palace for a long time, and it is inevitable that she will miss her family, so she wants to use this method to talk about it. ”

Jia Lian said in his heart: If you have a phone and you can video, you don't need to be so cumbersome.

Yuan Chun choked up and said: "Brother Lian, this is the most satisfactory congratulatory gift I have received, Brother Lian has a heart." ”

Jia Lian said with a smile: "Niangniang is joking, you and I are a family, but Niangniang married into the royal family, and since then there has been a distinction between monarchs and ministers, and many things I want to say can't be said, and I can't say it." ”

When Yuan Chun heard this, he was slightly stunned, and thought in his heart: Brother Dao Lian was a lazy and unambitious son, but Shicai's words reached his heart, and it seems that the rumors may not be credible.

Yuan Chunyin said: "It is this reason that Brother Lian said, when I was in the Lantern Festival, I felt a lot more estranged from everyone, and I couldn't say it in my heart." Brother Lian said this today, it is the right reason, aside from the level of monarchs and ministers, you and I are still a family. ”

Jia Lian said: "It's great that Niangniang can think like this." From now on, if there is anything unsatisfactory to the mother, just tell me. ”

Who knew that as soon as Jia Lian's words came out, Yuan Chun actually cried even more, which frightened Jia Lian, and hurriedly leaned over to make amends: "It was me who talked a lot and made my mother sad." ”

Yuan Chun also realized that he was out of shape, stopped crying, and said: "Brother Lian is too careful, I just touched the scene and accidentally remembered some sad things." ”

Jia Lian looked at Yuan Chun like this, and couldn't help but feel a lot of pity and pity, because he said: "Niangniang might as well talk to me." ”

Yuan Chun looked at Jia Lian with teary eyes, his lips squirmed but he couldn't open his mouth, for so long, he made up his mind and said: "Brother Lian doesn't know, I have been in the palace for many years, and on the surface, the scenery is not limited, but in fact, it is just for outsiders to see." In fact, in the backyard of this deep palace, there is not even a caring person, and he has not been pregnant with a dragon seed so far, so he is not as good as before. ”

Jia Lian heard the people in the mansion say earlier that the fact that Yuanchun did not have a dragon son has become a heart disease in Jiafu, and now when he hears this sentence from Yuanchun's mouth, it seems to be true.

Jia Lian pondered in his heart, could it be that Yuan Chun had infertility?

If there is a disease, it will be cured, perhaps the ancient people did not have the awareness of this, Jia Lian felt that as a modern person, it was necessary to be a spiritual mentor and popularize the common sense of modern medicine to this noble concubine.

Jia Lian therefore asked, "Have you ever asked the imperial doctor to take a look?" ”

Yuan Chun's eyebrows lowered, and he said: "I didn't dare to make a noise about this matter, but I just secretly asked the imperial doctor to take a look at it a few times, only to say that the qi and blood were insufficient, the false fire was too prosperous, and I prescribed a few pairs of medicines to eat, but I didn't see any improvement, and it was still the same." ”

Infertility in that era was still a medical desert, most of the prescriptions prescribed by doctors are to nourish yin and nourish the kidney, etc., it cannot be said that the effect is not obvious, it can only be said that there is no effect at all, it is far better to go to the Niangniang Temple outside the city to bolt a doll.

Of course, it may not be Yuanchun's problem.

Jia Lian asked, "Niangniang, I don't know when was the last time Your Majesty was lucky?" ”

Yuan Chun thought for a moment and said: "It should be the third day of August last year, I remember that it was raining heavily that day, and when His Majesty came, his body was drenched, and he was infected with wind chill within a few days. ”

Jia Lian looked stunned: If you don't have a room for a year, unless it's an earthworm, I'm afraid you can't get pregnant, right?

Although she thought so in her heart, Jia Lian still comforted: "Don't be anxious, I'm afraid it's not the right time for Your Majesty to come, and I believe that I can get pregnant a few more times." ”

Who knew that Yuan Chun's face sank, and he sighed: "I'm afraid Your Majesty will never be happy with me again." ”

After that, Yuan Chun showed a desperate and empty look.

Jia Lian said strangely: "Why did Niangniang say this? ”

Yuan Chun let out a long sigh and said in a low voice: "On the third day of August last year, it was the last time Your Majesty was lucky, and it was also the first time to be lucky. He drank a lot of wine that day, and came to me in a hurry, and said many things that seemed to be true and false, some of which I understood, some of which I did not. But he said something that sent chills down my back. ”

Jia Lian hurriedly asked, "What did Your Majesty say?" ”

Yuan Chun said: "Your Majesty said that your Jia family is just relying on the grace of Emperor Taizu, eating the king's lu, but not being loyal to the king, all of them are straw bales and rice buckets, and sooner or later your Jia family will be confiscated." ”

Jia Lian couldn't help but be stunned, it seems that the emperor has long been dissatisfied with the Jia family, just waiting for the time to make a move, poor Jia Mansion is still only greedy for enjoyment at this time, but I don't know that this emperor is already thinking about how to attack them.

Jia Lian asked in a low voice, "Did Niangniang ever say this to others?" ”

Yuan Chun shook his head and said: "I didn't say that with others, when I went back to the province, I wanted to tell the truth several times, but I couldn't bear to sweep everyone's interest, so I had to give up." ”

Jia Lian nodded and said, "That's fine, once this matter is known to others, I'm afraid that Jiafu will immediately suffer a catastrophe, and Niangniang must rot this matter into her stomach." ”

Yuan Chun knew that there was a lot at stake, and replied: "Brother Lian, don't worry, I will definitely not tell others about this matter." It's just that now Jiafu is in danger and doesn't know it, if the power of heaven comes, it will definitely be devastated, and it will be a big deal, so you should make plans as soon as possible. ”

Jia Lian comforted: "Niangniang, don't worry, I have my own countermeasures for this matter, as long as Niangniang has a foothold in the palace, I have my own affairs at home." ”

Yuan Chun felt the responsibility and sense of responsibility of the man in front of him, now that there is no one in Jiafu, what is needed is that a person like Jia Lian who has the courage to take responsibility can stand up, turn the tide, and save the Jia family from a catastrophe?

Maybe Jia Lian is really the person who can change his fate, but it is unknown.

Yuan Chun therefore said: "Brother Lian, wherever I am useful, just send someone to say it." ”

Yuan Chun knew that although he married into the royal family, he had the same fate as Jiafu, and once something happened in Jiafu, his position as a noble concubine might be in jeopardy.

Vice versa.

Jia Lian comforted, and the two talked for a while.

When Jia Lian talked about running a school in Jiafu, Yuan Chun couldn't hide his excitement and said: "I should have let my brothers and sisters in the family read more books, and if they get famous in the future, maybe they can let our family forever enjoy the emperor's grace." ”

Jia Lian said: "Don't worry, the old man said that day, let me run the school, I should work hard." When the school was completed, I also took on the role of superintendent, so as to urge my brothers and sisters to study hard. ”

Yuan Chun nodded and said, "It's so good, I don't know if this school is famous?" ”

Jia Lian replied: "There hasn't been yet, I don't know if Niangniang is willing to give a name?" ”

Yuan Chun thought for a while, picked up the brush and wrote the words "White Horse Academy" on the paper.

Jia Lian asked, "Niangniang, I don't know if there is a saying for this name?" ”

Yuan Chun said with a smile: "I had a dream yesterday that I saw a white horse galloping in the field, and then it gave birth to wings and soared into the air. I think this must be a good luck, so it is named after the word white horse. ”

Jia Lian took the words written by Yuan Chun, looked at it carefully, and said, "Niangniang has good intentions. ”

When Jia Lian was about to say goodbye, Yuan Chun suddenly shouted: "Brother Lian, slow down." ”
