Then the emperor regained his original favor for Jia Yingchun, and the situation in the harem gradually formed that Jia Yuanchun and the queen were equally respected. Even Li Guiren, who the emperor had been very favored recently, did not dare to compete with Jia Yingchun anymore.
But Jia Yuanchun himself became wary again. The emperor's forbearance towards him was now impeccable. Even when he insulted his beloved concubine, the emperor did not blame him and continued to favor him. In this way
The scenery made Jia Yingchun even more frightened. Thinking that this time when he went back to visit relatives, he must tell his family about the matter and let them make plans in advance.
Opportunity.
The days in Rongguo Mansion passed slowly as Jia Ke waited for the bride-to-be, and the villa for the bride-to-be was quickly completed before her eyes.
From planning to construction, with the efforts of skilled craftsmen and laborers in architecture and gardening, the construction speed was amazing. In less than a year, a majestic and exquisite provincial villa was built.
Among them, Jia Ke played a great role. Local officials from all over the world who were in favor of Jia Ke sent all the skilled craftsmen they could find to Rongguo Mansion. Therefore, Rongguo Mansion stood out among the concubines and was the first to build this building.
The beautiful provincial villa was built just like a royal garden, so it aroused some criticism from outside. However, due to Jia Ke's power, these people only said a few words, and no one
No one dares to touch Jia Ke.
However, there were also one or two censors from Langtouqing who could not stand Jia Ke's actions and risked their lives to report to the emperor. Participating in the villa built by Jia Ke for provincial relatives was out of line and was suspected of being disrespectful.
According to the rules, these memorials must first pass through the Military Aircraft Department. When Liu Yu, the Minister of Military Aircraft Department, sent these memorials to Jia Ke, Jia Ke suppressed them all without even looking at them, and they were not sent to the emperor at all.
.
This matter was soon known to the emperor. Judging from the information Jia Ke received, the emperor was so angry that he threw seven or eight cups. In the end, he tolerated it and did not make the matter public. It seemed that those few
It's as if the censor didn't submit a memorial at all.
During this year, the emperor's favor for Jia Yuanchun reached an all-time high. And Jia Yuanchun was almost obsessive in the palace. Even the queen had to give her three points. Even the authority in charge of the Sixth Palace was given to her.
, the queen had to give half of it to Jia Yuanchun under the pressure of the emperor.
But Jia Yuanchun is not an ordinary woman. Not only is she unrivaled in beauty, but she is also extremely intelligent. However, in a short period of time, she has already seen the hidden dangers in it, and is therefore full of fear for her current life. Because she knows that the emperor is interested in her.
She didn’t really love her, and few of her favorite concubines in the past had a good ending. Therefore, every time Mrs. Wang came to visit her on the 26th, she tried hard to persuade her family members to be cautious in their words and deeds, and never to
Because she was unscrupulous in sending the emperor's favor.
Mrs. Wang also agreed one by one, but in fact she did not take her daughter's caution seriously. Now that their daughter is supporting her in the palace, and there is a military minister like Jia Ke outside the palace, there is no one in the world who can help except the emperor.
Her family. But seeing the emperor's love for Jia Yuanchun, how could this happen to her family?
And since the memorials of those imperial censors were suppressed by Jia Ke, no one in the world has come to trouble Jia Ke, because everyone knows that the memorials are in vain, so Jia Ke is living a leisurely life now.
.
Qiaolian now also gave birth to a son for Jia Ke - Jia Mao. This made Aunt Zhou extremely happy. When she gave birth to Jia Zhi, Aunt Zhou was extremely happy. But because Jia Zhi is the eldest son's direct grandson, she cannot
Able to leave Qin Keqing.
This time Aunt Zhou didn't care so much and asked Jia Ke to give Jia Mao to her to raise. It is now common practice in Jia's family for grandma to raise a grandson.
Moreover, Aunt Zhou is now a sixth-grade imperial wife and is qualified to raise her own grandson. And Qiaolian fully agrees with this matter.
In Qiaolian's view, Jia Zhi will definitely succeed Wuyang Marquis in the future, and Jia Mao will only be able to get more compensation when the family is separated if he is favored by Aunt Zhou. Although he is very reluctant to let go, for the sake of his children
In the future, she reluctantly agreed and pretended to be very happy on the surface.
So the child Jia Mao, who was just one month old, was sent to Aunt Zhou in Rongguo Mansion to be raised by her personally. Since Aunt Zhou personally raised Jia Mao, she had no time to take care of Jia Ke's affairs. Now all her thoughts are
It's all on Jia Mao.
During the Chinese New Year this year, no one in Rongguo Mansion had a good time, and everyone began to prepare for Jia Yuanchun's wedding.
Jia Ke is the busiest among these people. He is not busy with matters at home, but with the concubines in the capital going home for blind dates. All etiquette arrangements and the safety of the journey are all taken care of by Jia Ke.
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month was supposed to be the day for the Lantern Festival, but Jia Ke implemented a curfew in the city on this day. All the routes passed by the concubines were guarded by infantrymen and horses from the Yamen along the way, and all the idlers were waiting.
No one is allowed to pass. Among them, Jia Yuanchun's route back to Rongguofu was the most heavily guarded. There were almost five steps and one post and ten steps and one post. All the idlers on the route that Jia Yuanchun passed were driven home. This
The line is extremely quiet now.
A few days before the wedding ceremony, a young eunuch from the palace arranged for people to cover the curtains at various street corners. He informed everyone in the Jia family when to leave, where to kneel, where to eat, where to talk, and other etiquette.
On the moonlit night of August 14th, it was destined to be a sleepless night for the people of the Jia family. The next day, when the five drums rose, all the officials and nobles in the Jia family, including Jia Mu, were all dressed up according to their standards.
Even Aunt Zhou wore Mrs. Chiming's high-grade makeup and followed Mrs. Wang to the gate of Rongguo Mansion, waiting for Jia Yuanchun's return.
Aunt Zhou seemed so embarrassed in front of all the ladies of Zhengyin, but she was not without a trace of pride in her heart. These people were all the wives of Zhengyin, and she was the only one who could stand here as a concubine, even though her rank was
The lowest among them, but the glory in it is also unknowable.
Among these people, the most conspicuous one is Qin Keqing. Because she is the youngest, but according to her rank, she is a first-class marquise. Therefore, in such large-scale scenes, she follows closely behind Jia Mu.
Even her serious mother-in-law, Mrs. Wang, had to stand behind her and not dare to take a step beyond her reach.
Now the provincial villa is even more solemn and glorious. Dragons are dancing in the tents, phoenixes are flying in the curtains, gold and silver are shining, jewels are shining, the fragrance of lilies is burning in the cauldron, and the pistils of evergreen are planted in the bottles. It is quiet without a cough. In the streets and alleys, early in the morning
It was covered with an embroidered curtain. Jia Zheng led the men to stand outside the West Street, while Jia's mother waited quietly outside the gate of Rongguo Mansion. Among them, only Jia Ke was absent because of official business.
As the admiral of the Nine Gates, Jia Ke led the infantry and commanded the elite soldiers under the yamen. At this time, he was at the palace gate responsible for the security arrangements for the concubines when they left the palace. He had been at the palace gate since the night of the 14th of the first lunar month and did not leave.
On the morning of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Jia Ke saw eunuchs coming out of the palace gate one after another. They first visited the mansions of each concubine's house to see what was going on.
Jia Ke then remembered that the concubines in the palace would probably have to leave the palace at dusk. So Jia Ke quickly ordered Liu Yu to return to Rongguo Mansion and report to Jia Zheng and others. The old lady could not be allowed in the palace.
Wait outside the door for a day.
Liu Yu did not dare to neglect, and when he returned to Ningrong Street, he saw the three highest-ranking Jia family heads, Jia Zheng, Jia She, and Jia Zhen, waiting for Jia Yuanchun's argument.
Liu Yu quickly stepped forward, came to Jia Zheng, knelt down and saluted him, "Master, I have come here to deliver a message to you on your orders."
"Get up, what's the matter? Just say it." Jia Zheng knew that Liu Yu was Jia Ke's personal guard. Since Jia Ke sent him here, he must have something to tell him.
After Liu Yu stood up, he raised his hands and said to Jia Zheng: "Sir, I have asked me to come and deliver a message, saying that ladies and gentlemen, I am afraid they will not be able to leave the palace until dusk, so that the old ladies do not have to wait here for a long time. Now go back to your room.
Let’s take a break, and it won’t be too late to come out to greet you at You time in the afternoon.”
Jia Zheng and others were really relieved after hearing this. They had been standing on the street since dawn, and there was no messenger. They didn't know when Jia Yuanchun would be able to leave the palace, so they could only
They stood there waiting anxiously. Now that Jia Ke had sent news, they could go back and rest.
After hearing this, Jia Zheng quickly ordered his servants to go to the gate of Rongguo Mansion and report to Jia Mu, telling his family to go back to their rooms to rest instead of waiting here. They also turned around and slowly walked away.
, walked towards Rongguo Mansion.
The boy arrived at the gate of Rongguo Mansion and saw Jia Mu waiting there with everyone. Among them, Jia Mu was exhausted from standing for such a long time. At this time, she was trembling. If it weren't for Mrs.
Oh, I've already fallen down.
The boy quickly stepped forward to kowtow to Mother Jia, "Old lady, the uncle sent a message from the palace gate, saying that the ladies will not be able to leave the palace until dusk. Let the old lady go back to rest first, and it will not be too late to come out to greet you at midnight in the afternoon.
"
Everyone was visibly relieved after hearing this. Among them, Wang Xifeng had just given birth to a daughter in just a month or two. However, such a grand ceremony was exactly what she wanted, so she did not listen to Jia Lian, Ping'er and others.
I advise you to come out and join in the fun.
At this time, she was following Jia Mu closely. When she heard what the young man said, she quickly stepped forward and took Jia Mu from Mrs.
Go back to your room and rest first, it won’t be too late to come back when the time comes.”
Jia Mu nodded, and she and Mrs. Wang went their separate ways.
