It was already afternoon when he came in from outside the palace, and he met a group of people coming from the opposite side. Zhang Chi was a little nervous, but when he saw that there were only four or five people in the past, he felt a little calmer.
When people of some status in the palace go out, there are not ten or eight people accompanying them, so it's not a big deal considering their appearance.
But the moment he caught his sight, Zhang Chi's mind was in turmoil. He subconsciously straightened his chest, his eyes were like thorns, and he swept over fiercely.
It's Concubine Jia.
Zhang Chi felt that the breath coming out of his nostrils became hotter, and he slowed down slightly, and finally stood still with his hands behind his hands.
Jia Yuanchun immediately met the person she least wanted to see in the palace. Although he had restrained himself a lot in the past two years, the shadow left behind still made her shudder.
He has a frivolous and cruel personality, but is also bold and unscrupulous. Some people say that he is ambitious and talented, but it is undeniable that he is the only son of Concubine Xu Huang and the eldest son of the emperor. Before the emperor established a heir, he was regarded by outsiders and even some
Many courtiers seemed to think that he was the natural successor.
Although the throne of the Zhou Dynasty did not entirely follow the line of succession, and the current emperor was neither the legitimate son nor the eldest son, the undeniable line of succession still held a heavy weight in the minds of the scholars.
"I have met Lord Shou." The servants saluted consciously.
People around Zhang Chi also saluted, "I have seen the virtuous concubine."
Jia Yuanchun's jade cheeks, as cold as morning dew and hibiscus, showed no expression, but she was blessed with a blessing, "I have met King Shou."
Zhang Chi didn't dare to be rude. In the presence of so many people, it would be bad if any bad rumors reached his father's ears, especially at a critical time.
"Zhang Chi has met the imperial concubine." Zhang Chi also bowed deeply, and then stood up straight: "Is the imperial concubine going to leave the palace? Oh, it seems that the father has authorized all the empresses to leave the palace and go home to visit relatives, right?"
This was nothing to say. Jia Yuanchun couldn't help but feel a burst of anger in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it.
The emperor decreed that the concubines who had no heirs could go home to celebrate the festival, while other concubines with children were allowed to go to the palace to celebrate the festival, but this man deliberately used this to hurt himself.
"Yes." Jia Yuanchun tried his best to make his expression look natural and calm, so as to avoid being picked on by the other party, "Prince Shou is going to see Empress Xu? Why are we alone?"
Zhang Chi was furious. He was already married, but the princess was recuperating at home due to a miscarriage a few days ago. He thought that the other party knew about this, but deliberately humiliated him.
Seeing Zhang Chi's face suddenly turned cold, Jia Yuanchun was also startled. He didn't know where he had offended the other party. He originally just wanted to find a topic to change the topic and walk away after talking. Who would have thought that the other party would change his color suddenly? Could it be intentional?
To coerce yourself in this way?
Gazing at the other party, Zhang Chi smiled sadly, "Yes, the mother and concubine are in a bad mood. It's such a big festival, so I have to go and be filial, so I can't compare to the empress who can enjoy it at home..."
Jia Yuanchun was a little confused. What did Xu Junru's bad mood have to do with him? What did King Shou mean by mentioning it so suddenly?
However, this was not the time to think about these things. Jia Yuanchun said calmly: "Your Majesty's gift allows me to wait until I return home. I am also very grateful. Your Highness, King Shou, I will take my leave."
With a blessing, Jia Yuanchun took the lead and took the lead.
Seeing Jia Yuanchun's plump figure disappearing at the end of the palace wall corridor, Zhang Chi couldn't help but grit his teeth.
This bitch actually dared to provoke me like this and deliberately poked her sore spot. Thinking about how she was so frightened that she was trembling with fear at the beginning, but today she is so presumptuous. Does she really think that she has lost her power?
Zhang Chi also knows that the Jia family is not without foundation, but the Rong Ning family is now in ruins. Jia Yuanchun has used all the gifts from her father for her father, so she got the Jiangxi political scholarship.
But her father is a pedantic idiot. I heard that he has made people in Jiangxi very angry and everyone is extremely dissatisfied with him. He is already being ignored.
The only thing left is that one of her cousins is married to Feng Ziying, but that little Feng Xiuzuan wants to marry a third wife, not to mention that he is very sexually promiscuous. How could he be with her because of a relationship with a woman who is so far away?
Are you sorry? Maybe you can be your brother-in-law with him in the future?
After these two months, he will let this bitch know the consequences of offending him. Finally, he will make this bitch crawl at his feet to vent his inner anger. He relaxed and clenched his fists, with a ferocious look on his face. After a while,
That's when I finally calmed down.
Jia Yuanchun seemed to be able to feel the malicious and sinister gaze coming from behind, which made the hairs on her spine stand on end for no apparent reason. She subconsciously speeded up her pace, trying to escape from the cage-like shadow.
This feeling slowly disappeared until the sedan chair left the palace gate.
The afternoon sun shone on the street, and Yuanchun could finally breathe a sigh of relief. He leaned softly on the armrest of the sedan, holding his chin in one hand, and his eyes drifted out of the window as the curtains swayed in confusion.
The situation in the palace became increasingly confusing.
Qiu Shi'an seems to be feeling a little anxious now. Cheng En has been there several times without seeing each other. It is obvious that Qiu Shi'an's thoughts are not on him, which makes Jia Yuanchun breathe a sigh of relief.
At the same time, I was also a little disappointed.
The palace's attention is now focused on several concubines with princes. Not to mention himself, Zhou, Zheng, and Wu are all the same. No matter how they bounce around, no one cares about them. Because of this, the emperor
I would agree that some of you can go home and spend the holidays together.
Now it seems that both Xu Junru and Prince Shou have lost power. Su Lingyao's two sons, Prince Fu and Prince Li, are competing fiercely with Prince Lu and Concubine Mei, who are vaguely favored by the emperor, relying on their age advantage and good reputation among the sergeants in the capital.
, Prince Gong and Concubine Guo, who have suddenly emerged as an army, seem not to be outdone, and continue to build momentum, trying to get Prince Gong to join this battle group.
Everyone understands that next month’s Autumn Festival of Tienwang Mountain will be an important node. Through this Autumn Festival, the Emperor will conduct a comprehensive inspection of the princes and even have conversations with some royal family members and important ministers to listen to their opinions.
Opinions and opinions, that is to say, the main content of this autumn is to choose reserves.
The five princes, King Shou, King Fu, King Li, King Lu, and Prince Gong, will all show their special powers and try to win the favor and trust of the emperor during this period, including of course those royal family members who can speak well.
Dear relatives, such as King Zhongshun, such as King Zhonghui who may be appointed as the Jiedu Envoy of the Beijing Camp, instead of being very low-key before, now there are some voices like King Lianzhong, and even the two eldest princesses.
The same goes for the important ministers. In more than ten days, it is estimated that in the middle of the capital, cabinet elders or ministers from the seven ministers and censors from the Metropolitan Procuratorate will be summoned by the emperor for interviews. This will also make the princes
They are very concerned about it, and their views and opinions may even be more important than the attitudes of the royal family members.
Loneliness, loss and even confusion troubled Jia Yuanchun, making her extremely confused. She didn't know how to face everything in the future, because she found that she couldn't find a goal to work hard for.
If Xu Junru, Su Lingyao, Mei Yuexi and Guo Qinjun can all fight for the future of their sons, how can concubines like themselves and even Zhou Wu Zheng who have no heirs pursue their own future in the future?
What about positioning and goals?
Is this just a fake struggle for power all day long? How long can this kind of life last and how meaningful is it?
The emperor has now begun to prepare for the appointment of a prince, which means that the emperor has also realized that his own health is not optimistic. In other words, maybe in three to five years, or even maybe a year and a half, the situation will change drastically. Then
What should people like me do at that time? Do we really want to go to a remote house and live there for decades without anyone caring about us until we die?
But what if you don’t want to live like this?
Escape from the palace? Jia Yuanchun smiled bitterly and shook his head subconsciously. This was a fantastic idea. Regardless of whether he had the ability or not, the entire Jia family would probably be implicated in this and his family would die.
Thinking of this, Jia Yuanchun felt even more depressed and hopeless.
Suddenly a figure jumped into my heart, seeming to be issuing some kind of call. Maybe this person could have some different views or even give me some suggestions?
Although he knows that this is obviously unrealistic, many things that happened to this person were originally thought to be incredible and whimsical. Unprecedented things seemed not to be accidents to him, but became normal to him. This is also the reason why Jia
Yuanchun held on to that glimmer of hope in his heart.
What if?
The sedan swayed along Xi'anmen Street and onto Kaidao Street. It walked along Kaidao Street for a while and entered Fuchengmen Street. It went all the way to the edge of Baita Temple, entered Jinchengfang Hutong, and went south to Guangzhou.
Ningbo Hutong, then turn east into Rongning Street.
It wasn't until he saw the gate of Rongguo Mansion that Jia Yuanchun's mood improved.
A large crowd of people had already been greeted at the gate of Rongguo Mansion. Although it was not as grand as the last Lantern Festival wedding, it was a royal concubine's wedding after all, and the gift from the heavenly family was indispensable, so all the important people in the mansion still came out to greet her outside the mansion.
The middle door of Rongguo Mansion was opened wide, and the sedan was carried to the front of the Yimen. Just after getting off the sedan, Jia Yuanchun slowly got out of the sedan. Everyone including Jia's mother, Wang family, and Jia She had already knelt down and prostrated. Yuanchun felt a little emotional in his heart.
, hurriedly waved his hands to express his displeasure, and after several struggles, all the people kneeling in the dark courtyard finally got up.
Jia Yuanchun took a rough look and found that compared to the last time he came, there seemed to be fewer people. His father was gone, and Xue Baochai's family was gone, but his sister-in-law had two more sisters. More importantly, Yuanchun could feel that
The people who greeted me no longer had the cheerful energy they had last time, and seemed a little listless.
