Facing Jia Yun's inquiry, Yuan Chun looked up at Jia Yun again. Today, Jia Yun had resumed wearing the dragon robe, and in Yuan Chun's eyes, she naturally looked proud and shining.
Yuanchun responded in a soft voice: "Actually, I wanted to see the emperor a few years ago, but it has always been inconvenient. Today, I asked to see the emperor and got his permission. For me, it is both a great honor and a satisfaction.
It has been my wish for several years.”
Jia Yun found that Yuanchun's appearance was somewhat similar to Tanhua's, and even their voices were similar. It seemed that they were both inherited from Jia Zheng. They were both daughters of Jia Zheng, but their biological mothers were different. Yuanchun was born to Mrs. Wang.
, Tanchun was born to Aunt Zhao.
Jia Zheng is still somewhat handsome now that he is middle-aged. He must have been a handsome boy when he was young.
Jia Yun immediately guessed why Yuan Chun said this, and she deliberately smiled and asked: "Oh? Why did the noble concubine want to see me a few years ago?"
Yuan Chun paused and said, "I dare not speak directly for fear of offending the emperor and making him angry."
Jia Yun said: "Last time I met the Imperial Concubine for the first time in Cining Palace, but I only had a quick look at it. Today can be regarded as the first time I met the Imperial Concubine. Although it was just our first meeting, I have already been predestined with the Imperial Concubine.
, After all, I was once a sideline disciple of the Rongguo Mansion, so the noble concubine said it’s okay.”
When Yuanchun heard this, she felt happy. Jia Yun actually mentioned "the descendants of the branch of Rongguo Mansion". She immediately realized that Jia Yun still missed Rongguo Mansion.
Under this situation, Yuan Chun dared to tell the truth. She said respectfully: "As the emperor said, the emperor once condescended to have contacts with the Rongguo Mansion. At that time, I didn't know the emperor's identity as a prince. Knowing that the emperor was so young and promising,
The glory continues, I admire the emperor endlessly, and I feel happy for the Rongguo Mansion. I really want to meet the emperor, but at the same time, I am also confused, thinking how the Jia family could have such an amazing talent as the emperor."
Yuanchun continued: "Later I learned about the emperor's identity as a prince, and I realized that it was no wonder that the emperor was so great. It turned out that he was the prince of the royal family, and now I have even realized that the emperor is the emperor descended from heaven!"
Jia Yun nodded when she heard this, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "Another smart palace woman!"
Look at how thoughtful Yuanchun's words were. He mentioned the old relationship between Jia Yun and Rongguo Mansion, flattered Jia Yun, and avoided Ningguo Mansion's secret raising of Jia Yun without authorization.
Jia Yun looked at Yuanchun again and smiled slightly: "To be fair, Princess, I have wanted to meet you for a long time. The reason is similar to what you just said."
Yuan Chun felt ashamed again and lowered her head slightly again, not only because of Jia Yun's words, but also because of the way Jia Yun looked at her when she said these words. This look made her feel like she was seeing Tianzhi for the first time.
The way Emperor Shi Tianzhi looked at her...
Jia Yun asked: "The noble concubine has met me this time. What does she want to discuss with me?"
Yuan Chun paused for a moment, then looked up at Jia Yun: "I have nothing to do but want to beg the Emperor. I came here to beg to see the Emperor just to pay my respects and fulfill my long-cherished wish."
Immediately afterwards, Yuanchun, like Concubine Ning before her, said some caring words to please Jia Yun, and also talked to Jia Yun about Jia's mother and Jia Zheng in Rongguo Mansion. She knew that these two people in Rongguo Mansion mainly had feelings for Jia Yun.
Kindness...
After chatting for a while, Yuanchun said wisely that he did not dare to continue disturbing her and resigned.
Jia Yun was a little surprised. He thought that Yuanchun's request to see him this time was for something like Concubine Ning, for example, asking him to be kind to Jia Zhen and Jia Rong... but Yuanchun didn't ask for mercy.
In fact, Yuanchun did want to beg for mercy to Jia Zhen and Jia Rong, but she thought the matter was very serious. Today was the first time she met Jia Yun, so it was not convenient for her to say such words.
…
…
After the empress dowager Yin, the imperial concubine Qingwan and other concubines of Emperor Tianzhi moved to Neiting West Road, Jia Yun set up a eunuch official position, called the eunuch of the West Palace.
As the name suggests, the Sixth Palace Eunuch is in charge of the East Sixth Palace and the West Sixth Palace, which are the emperor's harem. The so-called West Palace Eunuch is in charge of the West Road of the Inner Palace, which is the residence of Emperor Tianzhi's concubines.
The eunuch of the West Palace appointed by Jia Yun is named Tao Zhan. Like the current eunuch Wei Xiao and the eunuch Yu Wen of the Sixth Palace, Tao Zhan was also a eunuch of Jia Yun's palace before. He was also recommended by Yu Zhu and approved by Xue Baochai.
Obviously, one of Tao Zhan's important tasks was to monitor the West Inner Road for Jia Yun to prevent Emperor Tianzhi's concubines from causing trouble.
It has to be said that the eunuchs in Prince Jia Yun's palace also had great luck. As Jia Yun became emperor, three eunuchs were reused, and almost all other eunuchs also benefited.
But there are also unfortunate ones.
For example, eunuch Zhang, the chief eunuch in Prince Jia Yun's palace.
This person was first punished by Jia Yun and transferred back to the palace to become an ordinary eunuch under Qiu Shian. After Jia Yun became the emperor, he sent this person to Shanhaiguan as a slave. Eunuch Zhang regretted it!
For another example, there was a spy eunuch in Prince Jia Yun's palace. It was through this eunuch that Qiu Shian learned that there were many beauties in Prince Jia Yun's palace, especially Qin Keqing. Qiu Shian told Prince Zhongshun about this.
The prince wanted to take possession of this spy eunuch, and Jia Yun sent him to Shanhaiguan as a slave.
After Yuanchun left Yangxin Palace, Jia Yun returned to Qianqing Palace to continue working.
Towards evening, Tao Zhan, the eunuch of the West Palace, came to Qianqing Palace and said to Jia Yun: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager asked her servant to visit the Emperor. She said that it was almost time for dinner. She knew that the Emperor's affairs were complicated, but she still asked the Emperor to go early.
Cining Palace, she wants to talk to the emperor."
Jia Yun looked at the chiming bell and said, "Report to the Empress Dowager, and I will take the Empress with her right away."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Tao Zhan respectfully excused himself.
Jia Yun said "haha" in her heart.
He speculated that the Yin family was most likely looking for him this time because of Xia Hao and Xia Yi's affairs...
Just the day before yesterday, Xia Yi was escorted back to Shenjing City and imprisoned in the Zongren Mansion. This matter naturally made the Queen Mother Yin very concerned. Although her favorite son was Xia Hao, Xia Yi was also her biological son.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Yesterday, Emperor Kangxing's Zi Palace was moved. It was inconvenient for the Yin family to go to Jia Yun to talk about Xia Hao and Xia Yi. This morning, they sent someone to go to Jia Yun and asked Jia Yun to
, Xue Baochai went to Cining Palace for dinner today and went there early, Jia Yun agreed.
At this moment, Jia Yun suspended her work, walked out of Qianqing Palace, came to Shou'an Palace, and took Xue Baochai to Cining Palace. Xiren, Zijuan, Qingwen, Qin Keqing and other people followed.
Xue Baochai's belly is already very big, but she still needs to be careful about the Yin family's morning and dusk. As Jia Yun's concubines, Xiren, Zijuan and Qingwen also need to be aware of the Yin family's morning and dusk.
The Yin family also needed to monitor the morning and dusk of the Empress Dowager who lived in the Ningshou Palace area.
Fortunately, Emperor Kangxing was still alive and lived in the Ningshou Palace area with the Empress Dowager, which made it inconvenient for the Emperor Tianzhi's concubines to adjust the morning and evening routines of the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager also found it troublesome. , so he only asked the Yin family to make adjustments in the morning and dusk, and the other concubines of Emperor Tianzhi did not make such requests.
After Jia Yun became emperor, he relied on this rule and did not let his concubines watch the Empress Dowager's affairs.
Xue Baochai should have taken care of the Empress Dowager in the morning and dusk. However, Jia Yun asked the Empress Dowager not to do anything to Xue Baochai because Xue Baochai had a big belly and was inconvenient to move and was preparing to give birth, and the Ningshou Palace area was far away from Yongshou Palace. The Empress Dowager agreed to the request of the Morning and Dusk Ding Province, but it was okay not to agree. Jia Yun was very strong, not to mention she didn't want to see Jia Yun's deputy queen often.
There is another reason for Jia Yun's arrangement. He is afraid that the Empress Dowager will kill Xue Baochai or harm the child in Xue Baochai's belly. In fact, Jia Yun also has this concern about the Yin family and asks Xue Baochai to prevent this. Every time Xue Baochai goes When inviting the An Yin family, the defense was very strict.
It's not that Jia Yun was careless, but the fight in the harem was actually very cruel, not to mention that Jia Yun had raised an army to seize the throne, and both the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager Yin hated him.
At this time, Jia Yun brought Xue Baochai, Xiren, Zijuan, Qingwen, Qin Keqing and others to Cining Palace. Jia Yun and Xue Baochai sat in the Ming Dynasty. Xiren, Zijuan and Qingwen paid their respects to the Yin family. Then he left, and Qin Keqing, as Xue Baochai's female history, stayed to serve him.
Before dinner time, Jia Yun, Xue Baochai and the Yin family were chatting. During this period, the concubines of Emperor Tianzhi kept coming to pay their respects, including Qing Wan, Concubine Ning...
In just two quarters of an hour, Jia Yun met many concubines of Emperor Tianzhi. It was really dazzling to see them. Some of these concubines were middle-aged and some were young. The youngest was even younger than Jia Yun.
Qingwan also came to pay her respects, and she also needed to take care of the Yin family.
In order not to further intensify the conflicts in the court, and not to further anger the Empress Dowager, the Yin family still did not honor Qingwan as the Holy Mother Emperor and Queen, and planned to wait until the rebellion against the Qing Dynasty was suppressed before doing so.
Qingwan was left to have dinner with the Yin family, and the other concubines of Emperor Tianzhi all left after paying their respects.
Two-quarters of an hour later, the Empress Dowager wanted to serve the meal, so Jia Yun asked the inner imperial dining room to deliver the food. The inner imperial dining room located in the courtyard of Yangxin Hall was specially designed to serve Jia Yun, the emperor, and was near Cining Palace.
To be cautious, Jia Yun still prepared today's dinner. Even the tea was brought by herself. Jia Yun also specially prepared bijing porridge and sour bamboo shoots and chicken skin soup for Xue Baochai. He knew that Xue Baochai liked to eat these two things recently.
Jia Yun planned to bring her own rice and tea whenever she went to Cining Palace or Ningshou Palace to eat or drink tea.
Jia Yun felt a little uncomfortable as the emperor. Even the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager in the palace had to be on guard against harming him. In this regard, he was no better than Emperor Tianzhi. Emperor Tianzhi did not need to be so cautious and cautious.
Prevention.
Yinshi, Qingwan, Jia Yun, and Xue Baochai were eating at the same table. The meal process was quiet.
After finishing the meal, rinsing his mouth and washing his hands, Yinshi screened everyone away, leaving only Yinshi and Jia Yun in the bright room.
"Your Majesty, I heard that Prince Zhongyong has returned to Beijing?" asked Yin.
Jia Yun nodded: "I came back the day before yesterday."
"He was also imprisoned in the clan's mansion by the emperor?" asked Yin again.
Jia Yun nodded again: "It is true."
Yin Shi paused, stared at Jia Yun and asked: "Your Majesty is so resourceful that I won't beat around the bush with you. I'll ask you directly, how exactly does your Majesty plan to arrange the two of you?"
Jia Yun said: "I haven't made any plans yet. I just want to let the two of them stay in the clan mansion first and make plans later."
Yin: "..."
In fact, Jia Yun had already planned that Xia Hao, Xia Huang, and Xia Yi would also be imprisoned in Jingshan.
Still in order not to further intensify the conflicts in the court and not to further anger the Empress Dowager and the Yin family, Jia Yun will not do this for the time being, and plans to postpone this matter until after the rebellion against the Qing Dynasty is suppressed.
Yin felt very uncomfortable. She took a sip of tea and calmed down before continuing: "I shamelessly ask the emperor to let Prince Zhongxian and Prince Zhongyong go. Even if the emperor does not want them to assist the emperor in state affairs, he can still let them go."
Let them be free princes."
Jia Yun also took a sip of tea, and then responded: "The Shui family in the north has not yet put down the rebellion. The Empress Dowager must have known that the Jing family and the Xining County Prince will probably raise troops to rebel in the west together. The court is now preparing to put down the rebellion. The Emperor
The Queen Mother is very resourceful, and I will not beat around the bush with the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother said that I am very resourceful. So, if I am very resourceful, should I let the two princes go under the current situation of the court?"
Yin: "..."
In my heart: This guy is really cunning, these words are sharper than a knife!
Yin Shi said deliberately: "I can't compare with the emperor's resourcefulness. I don't understand what the emperor said."
Jia Yun knew that Mrs. Yin was pretending to be stupid, but she still explained...
The imperial court already had serious conflicts, and the new emperor's popular support was also unstable. Now he was facing two wars in the north and west. Under this overall situation, he would be stupid if he let Xia Hao and Xia Yi go, because they
It may still threaten his throne, disrupt the court, and put the Qing Dynasty into more danger...
After hearing this, Mrs. Yin took another sip of tea and said, "I understood something after the emperor's explanation, but I still want to ask the emperor to let the two of them go. I can assure the emperor that after the emperor releases the two of them, I will take good care of them."
Advise them to be loyal to the emperor from now on, and let them rarely leave the palace until the rebellion is defeated."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Jia Yun said "haha" in her heart.
Queen Yin is indeed smart, scheming and good at hiding her inner thoughts.
Therefore, Jia Yun has not been able to confirm until now whether the Yin family, like the Empress Dowager, still has no desire to give up on the throne and holds out the hope of letting Xia Hao and Xia Yi seize the throne. But according to Jia Yun's guess, Queen Yin should also have such a desire
Thoughts, so he would not trust what Yin said now.
Jia Yun stood up and said, "I have been harassing the Queen Mother for a long time today, and I have to be busy with state affairs, so I have to take my leave."
After saying that, Jia Yun walked towards the outside of the hall.
Mrs. Yin was angry, but she still stood up and shouted shamelessly: "Your Majesty, please leave!"
Jia Yun turned around: "What else does the Queen Mother have to say? If it's just something that happened just now, there's no need to say it."
Yin said: "Even if the emperor doesn't want to let them go, please let me see them. I haven't seen them for some days, especially Yi'er. I am their mother and queen. The emperor also said before that he would
Let me see them!"
Jia Yun said: "What I said before is that if the Empress Dowager wholeheartedly supports me in rectifying the imperial court, suppressing the rebellion, creating a prosperous age, and opening up new territories, I will be able to see the two princes again in the future. So be it, I hereby promise,
Once Ping rebels against the Shui family, we will arrange for the Queen Mother to meet them."
After saying that, Jia Yun walked out of the hall.
Xue Baochai did not wait outside the palace. After all, she was pregnant. Jia Yun just asked her to leave first.
Jia Yun left the Cining Palace and came to the Yangxin Palace. Yu Wen, the eunuch of the Sixth Palace, suddenly brought a silver plate to him. There were four signs on the silver plate, which clearly read "Xue" and "Xiren".
, "Zicuckoo", "Qingwen", obviously, this is the fake brand in the palace.
Because Jia Yun was in the period of keeping a vigil before, turning the signs has not been carried out. Today, she will no longer keep a vigil. According to the etiquette of the palace, this kind of thing should be done.
However, Xue Baochai has not been canonized as queen yet, and none of the three Xiren have been canonized either, so the title on this sign seems special.
Jia Yun looked at the four brands on the silver plate and thought to herself, "How few." She hesitated a little and turned over Xue Baochai's brand. The back of the brand was facing up.
Yu Wen asked: "When does the emperor want the empress to come over?"
Jia Yun said: "It begins at the time of Xu."
It was seven o'clock in the evening at the beginning of Xu Shi. At this time, Jia Yun would definitely be busy in the Yangxin Hall, so it was good to ask Xue Baochai to come over and accompany him earlier.
Yu Wen immediately went to inform Xue Baochai to make preparations.
At the beginning of Xu Shi, Xue Baochai came to the Yangxin Hall on time. Jia Yun was working.
Waiting for things, this kind of thing belongs to Xiang Ling, Second Sister You, Third Sister You and other maids of Yangxin Palace.
At the second watch, that is, after nine o'clock in the evening, Xue Baochai took the initiative to ask Jia Yun to pay attention to her body and get some rest early.
At ten o'clock, Jia Yun stopped working because of Xue Baochai's pregnancy, and took Xue Baochai to the back hall to sleep for a while.
When going to bed, Xue Baochai suddenly said: "I dare not hide something from you. Recently, the old lady of Rongguo Mansion begged my mother, and my mother asked the eunuch to send me a message, asking me to ask the emperor to tell Jia Zhen and Jia Rong
For mercy, even if they still have to be slaves, they will be allowed to return from Shanhaiguan to Shenjing City as slaves. Considering that the emperor has been keeping vigil recently and is busy with state affairs, I have not dared to say anything, and I am only speaking now...
"
Jia Yun was stunned when she heard this and thought: "Well, Yuanchun didn't ask me for this kind of love, but Jia Mu asked Baochai to ask me for this kind of love through Aunt Xue!"
Originally, father and son Jia Zhen and Jia Rong hated the slave life in Shanhaiguan. Not long ago, after Jia Jing died of illness in Shanhaiguan, they not only hated the slave life in Shanhaiguan but also feared it. They were afraid that they would die of illness in Shanhaiguan like Jia Jing.
Jia Yun said that he understood Rongguo Mansion's grief for losing a loved one, saying that although Jia Jing was involved in a major royal case, he had received his due retribution. Considering the merits of Jia's ancestors, Yuanchun's status, and the past kindness of Rongguo Mansion, he graciously allowed Jia Lian to give Jia Lian a favor.
Respectfully collect the body and take it back to Jinling for burial... This incident gave Jia Zhen and Jia Rong hope.
So the father and son sent a letter to the Rongguo Mansion, using an extremely aggrieved and miserable tone, begging Jia's mother and Jia for amnesty. Jia Zheng must intercede with Jia Yun and ask Jia Yun to show mercy to them.
After reading this letter, Jia She was unwilling to participate, and he also knew that Jia Yun hated him.
After deliberation, Jia's mother and Jia Zheng decided to ask Jia Yun for mercy. Both of them valued family ties, especially Jia Zheng, but how to plead for mercy was a problem.
Jia Zheng had already gone to the palace to seek love from Jia Yun once before, but Jia's mother was unwilling to go to the palace to ask Jia Yun for such a thing. Jia Lian had not only followed Jia Zheng to seek love once, but was also sending Jia Jing's coffin back to Jinling.
After discussion, Jia Mu decided to ask Aunt Xue for help and asked Xue Baochai to ask Jia Yun for help.
Jia Mu had visited Aunt Xue before and told her that she might need Aunt Xue's help in the future. Aunt Xue also gave a satisfactory response to Jia Mu. Not long after, Jia Mu actually asked Aunt Xue for help.
