Chapter 363 Jia Mu sends the girl from Rong Mansion into the palace
In addition to Xue Baochai, Qin Keqing, and Li Feixue, Dang Jia Yun's other female relatives were also surprised when they learned that his filial piety period was changed to one year, including Xiang Ling.
The news reached Rongguo Mansion that day.
Jia Mu was also pleasantly surprised when she learned about it. She couldn't wait to send a girl from Rongguo Mansion into the palace.
It just so happens that this year Lin Daiyu and Tan Chun are both in their prime years. Lin Daiyu celebrated her birthday in February and Tan Chun also celebrated her birthday in early March, which means that both of them are now old enough to enter the palace, even if Jia Yun is now
When canonizing them, their age would not be inappropriate.
However, Jia Mu noticed that Jia Yun was more affectionate towards Lin Daiyu and Tanchun than Yingchun, so she thought that Jia Yun was more likely to be willing to accept Lin Daiyu or Tanchun, and was more likely to be willing to make them concubines.
The next day, Jia Zheng was on vacation and did not go to work at the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry.
In the morning, Jia Mu summoned Jia She, Mrs. Xing, Jia Zheng, and Mrs. Wang to Rongqing Hall, and screened away the others.
Jia She, Mrs. Xing, Jia Zheng, and Mrs. Wang were all puzzled. This situation was rare. They naturally realized that Jia's mother must have something private to discuss with them.
Jia She took the lead and asked: "I wonder why the old lady met her son and daughter-in-law alone today?"
Jia Mu didn't mince words and said straight to the point: "I plan to choose one of Lin Yatou, Second Yatou, and Third Yatou to send to the palace."
When Jia She, Mrs.
It was Yuanchun who was sent to the palace.
Jia She immediately said: "Among the three girls, the second girl is the only one who is of the right age. Let her be the one."
Mrs.
The second girl is Yingchun, the concubine of Jia She.
Haha, Jia She, Mrs. Xing has been humiliated by Jia Yun recently. Although both of them are angry about this, especially Jia She, they are worried that they will be punished by Jia Yun.
When Jia Mu and others went to Xiyuan before, Jia She and Mrs.
At this moment, Jia She and Mrs. Xing were both pleasantly surprised!
Both of them thought that if Yingchun could be sent to the palace and become Jia Yun's concubine or even a concubine, then they would become the parents of a concubine or even a concubine, just like Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang. This
In this case, they can be considered as ingratiating themselves with Jia Yun, and there is no need to worry about Jia Yun's management.
Mrs. Wang immediately saw through Jia She and Mrs.
.”
The third girl is Tanchun. Although Tanchun is not Mrs. Wang’s biological child but was born to Aunt Zhao, in terms of status, Mrs. Wang is Tanchun’s mother. Moreover, Mrs. Wang knows that Tanchun is more beautiful than Aunt Zhao.
I care about her mainly because Aunt Zhao really doesn't behave like a mother to Tan Chun.
After saying that, Mrs. Wang glanced at Jia Zheng, hoping that Jia Zheng could fight side by side with her husband and wife.
However, Jia Zheng was a good old man and an old-fashioned person. Not only did he not help Mrs. Wang, but he said: "Although the third girl is in her prime, she is still a little young, and the second girl is more suitable."
Mrs. Wang: "..."
Jia Zheng said to Jia Mu again: "It's just, old lady, let's discuss this matter in one or two years. Now the emperor's period of filial piety is less than one year. According to etiquette, even if we have to send a girl to the palace,
, should wait until twenty-seven months later.”
Jia Mu was immediately dissatisfied and glared at Jia Zheng and said: "There is no need to wait for twenty-seven months. The emperor's filial piety period has been changed to one year. In another month, the filial piety period will be over."
Jia Zheng wanted to say that Jia Yun's reduction of the period of filial piety to one year was unethical. Even if the period of filial piety was only one year, the Rongguo government should not rush to arrange for the girl to enter the palace before the one-year period of filial piety was over.
However, now that he was in awe of Jia Yun, the emperor, and being stared at by Jia Mu, he did not say these words.
Jia Mu added: "This matter should be done sooner rather than later! Not to mention that there are many people in the emperor's harem waiting to be canonized. It is not difficult to imagine that as the emperor's filial piety period is changed to one year, I don't know how many officials will be honored by him.
The family is eager to send their daughter to the palace. The sooner the girl in our family enters the palace, the more likely she will be able to seal a good position."
As expected of Jia Mu, she is experienced and far-sighted in this kind of matter.
Jia She smiled and said: "What the old lady said is absolutely true. If this is the case, the old lady will send the second girl to the palace."
Mrs.
Jia Mu also saw through their minds and was not dissatisfied with Jia She and Mrs. Xing because of this. In her opinion, it was normal for Jia She and Mrs.
A way to curry favor with Jia Yun.
Jia Mu said: "I came to you today just to inform you and let you all know this. As for which girl to send to the palace, it is still up to the emperor to decide. Whichever the emperor prefers, we will send it to our house."
.”
As soon as these words came out, Jia She and Mrs. Xing were immediately dissatisfied, while Mrs. Wang felt happy in her heart. However, she also noticed that Jia Yun was more kind to Tanchun than to Yingchun.
Compared to Jia She and Mrs. Xing, Jia Mu prefers Jia Zheng and Mrs. Wang. In this regard, compared to Yingchun, Jia Mu prefers Tanchun to enter the palace.
Compared to Yingchun and Tanchun, Jia Mu liked Lin Daiyu more, but she wanted to leave Lin Daiyu to her precious grandson Jia Baoyu.
Jia's mother really didn't want Jia She and Mrs. Xing to be punished by Jia Yun in the future. She hoped that Jia Yun's hatred towards Jia She and Mrs. Xing could be resolved by welcoming the spring into the palace.
Jia Mu also knew that Jia Yun was more likely to fall in love with Lin Daiyu and explore spring than to welcome spring.
Therefore, Jia Mu herself really couldn't make up her mind as to which girl to send to the palace.
After much thought, Jia's mother decided that it was better to leave this matter to Jia Yun herself. Only by choosing the one she liked best would Jia Yun be more likely to get a good position.
…
…
The next day, Mrs. Jia took Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang to Xue's house and visited Aunt Xue. The main purpose was to ask Aunt Xue to help arrange for the girl from Rongguo Mansion to enter the palace.
Jia Mu was clever again. This time she deliberately mentioned that Xue Baochai was close to Yingchun, Tanchun and Lin Daiyu in the past. If any of the three of them entered the palace, if they could get a good position, they would be able to stay in the harem in the future.
Help the queen Xue Baochai.
After Aunt Xue heard Jia Mu's request, she felt awkward. She had already helped Jia Mu once for Jia Zhen and Jia Rong's affairs, and now Jia Mu came to ask her for help again, and this time Jia Mu actually wanted to send
A girl from Rongguo Mansion entered the palace.
Aunt Xue is a kind and kind person who values friendship. She also thinks that Jia Mu is right. It would be a good thing for Xue Baochai to have a girl from the Rongguo Mansion who Xue Baochai is close to as a concubine or concubine to help Xue Baochai in the harem.
.
Therefore, even though Aunt Xue felt awkward, she agreed.
Aunt Xue asked a eunuch to send a message to Xue Baochai that day...
This time Xue Baochai didn't delay. She took advantage of Jia Yun turning over her sign that night, and said to Jia Yun when she and Jia Yun were sleeping together: "Your Majesty, today my concubine's mother asked the eunuch to deliver a message to me.
It is said that the old lady from Rongguo Mansion wants to see the emperor."
For such a big and important matter, Mother Jia would not just count on Xue Baochai. Her plan was to ask Xue Baochai to send a letter to Jia Yun first to let Jia Yun know her thoughts, and then let Jia Yun meet her.
Shamelessly asked Jia Yun about this matter.
Jia Yun heard this and asked with a smile: "Why does Mrs. Shi want to see me?"
Xue Baochai said softly: "The old lady wants to send a girl from Rongguo Mansion to the palace, and wants to beg the emperor in person."
Jia Yun felt happy.
He was very happy to do this. In fact, he had already thought that for the sake of Rongguo Mansion, and with Jia Mu's behavior, he might take the initiative to send a Rongguo Mansion girl into the palace.
Jia Yun said: "I will see her tomorrow."
Xue Baochai said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
But she felt a little awkward in her heart. As Jia Yun's queen, not only did she take the initiative to promote this kind of thing, but she also wanted to thank Jia Yun.
However, Xue Baochai is not very jealous. She also hopes that a girl from the Rongguo Mansion can enter the palace and be named a concubine or even a noble concubine. Anyway, Jia Yun's concubine will be sealed out sooner or later. Xue Baochai hopes to be granted the title of Yingchun and Tanchun.
Or Lin Daiyu.
Xue Baochai knew Yingchun, Tanchun and Lin Daiyu well, and knew that these three girls were all good-natured.
Xue Baochai hopes that Tanchun will enter the palace because she appreciates Tanchun. If Tanchun is made a concubine or even a noble concubine, he will probably become her big helper in the harem in the future.
…
…
Early the next morning, Jia Yun sent Yu Wen, the eunuch of the Sixth Palace, to the Rongguo Mansion to summon Jia's mother to the palace for an audience.
Mother Jia is surprised!
When she thought about it, Jia Yun sent Yu Wen, the eunuch of the Sixth Palace, to summon her this time. This was not only to give her dignity, but also may mean that Jia Yun was already willing to accept a girl from Rongguo Mansion into the harem, and Yu Wen was responsible for it.
Regarding the harem, and she just begged Aunt Xue yesterday, Jia Yun summoned her today.
This is exactly the case.
Jia Mu hurriedly dressed up in a grand manner and put on the court dress of a first-class Duke's wife.
Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang and even Wang Xifeng all wanted to follow Jia Mu into the palace, but this time Yu Wen only issued an order to summon Jia Mu, and it was inconvenient for the three of them to follow even if they wanted to.
After Jia Mu dressed up, she left Rongguo Mansion under the watch of everyone in Rongguo Mansion and escorted by a group of eunuchs. She soon entered the palace, entered the harem, and came to Yongshou Palace.
Although Jia's mother is old, she is still a female family member after all. Jia Yun did not let her have an audience in Qianqing Palace today, but asked her to have an audience in Yongshou Palace.
In the past, Jia Mu had entered the harem, more than once, to visit Yuanchun in Fengzao Palace, but today, for the first time, Jia Mu entered the Yongshou Palace, which was owned by Xue Baochai.
Xiren, Zijuan, and Qingwen who lived in Yikun Palace couldn't help coming to Yongshou Palace after learning that Jia Mu was coming. Yuanyang, the chief maid of Yangxin Palace, naturally couldn't help coming to Yongshou Palace as well.
In the past, when Emperor Tianzhi was on the throne, his female relatives in the harem were not allowed to enter the house at will, and there were restrictions in this regard. Jia Yun gave her female relatives more freedom in this regard.
Not only Xiren, Zijuan, and Qingwen can take the initiative to go to the Yongshou Palace, but even the maids such as Yuanyang and Xiangling in the Yangxin Palace can take the initiative to go to the Yongshou Palace. Of course, the premise is that Xue Baochai is willing for them to come to the Yongshou Palace.
For a time, Yongshou Palace became very lively. Xiren, Zijuan, Yuanyang and others all treated Jia Mu very well. Even Xue Baochai treated Jia Mu very politely, making Jia Mu seem to have a happy life in Yongshou Palace. The feeling of being surrounded by people in the Rongqing Hall of Rongguo Mansion also made Jia Mu feel very happy.
When Jia's mother arrived, Jia Yun was busy in the Qianqing Palace. After two quarters of an hour, he walked out of the Qianqing Palace and went to the Yongshou Palace. At this time, the Yongshou Palace was already crowded.
Upon learning of Jia Yun's arrival, Xue Baochai led the female relatives to the corridor outside the palace to greet her, and Jia's mother naturally followed.
Immediately, Jia Yun walked into the hall under the stars and held the moon in front of everyone, and sat on Xue Baochai's throne. Jia Yunping retreated from the crowd, leaving only Xue Baochai, Xiren, Zijuan, Qingwen, and Yuanyang in the hall. , Jia Mu.
When Jia Mu saw this, she felt happy in her heart. She was already ashamed to ask for what she asked for today. It would be even more difficult for her to ask if there were many people in the palace.
Xue Baochai, Xiren, Zijuan, Qingwen, and Yuanyang were all her own maids to Jia Mu. Xiren, Zijuan, and Yuanyang were all her maids.
Jia Yun smiled at Jia Mu and said, "Last night I heard from my beloved concubine that the old lady asked to see me for something, so today I summoned the old lady to the palace to see her. I will tell you what the old lady wants now."
Naturally, Mother Jia no longer felt ashamed at this time, and said shamelessly: "The Emperor had a good relationship with our Rong Mansion in the past. Since the Emperor came to the throne, he has been very kind to our Rong Mansion and treated us with great kindness. We in Rong Mansion are really flattered."
"I have thought about it, and there is only one way to repay the emperor, and that is to send a girl from our family to the palace to serve the emperor. I also hope that the emperor will remember the friendship between the emperor and our family, and give our family a girl in the future. The girl is in a good position.”
Jia Yun: "..."
Although Jia Yun already knew the purpose of Jia Mu's visit today, she still couldn't laugh or cry when she heard this.
What a great Jia Mu, how can you be so thick-skinned? Not only did you say this directly, but you also said you wanted to repay me in this way?
The reason why Jia Mu is so direct is because she is, after all, a first-class princess and does not like to beat around the bush on such matters. She also understands Jia Yun's character and believes that it is better to approach Jia Yun directly rather than beating around the bush.
In fact, when Jia Mu asked Emperor Kangxing to let Yuan Chun enter the palace and become a concubine, Jia Mu was so direct and didn't beat around the bush.
Jia Yun paused and asked, "Oh? I wonder which girl in the family the old lady plans to send to the palace?"
Jia Mu said: "That's the one the emperor likes. It's all up to the emperor to decide."
