At this time, Jia Zheng and others also returned to the gate of Rongguo Mansion, but they did not dare to enter the mansion to rest, so they just made do in the concierge.
At noon, they just had a few casual meals, and waited until the end of the afternoon when a young eunuch came to them and told them to make preparations quickly. They then reported inside and asked Jia Mu to prepare. And they went back.
Wait according to etiquette at Ningrong Street.
After receiving the news about Jia Zheng, Jia's mother in the inner house put on high-grade makeup again and ordered people to send messages to several other people.
As soon as Jia Mu left the inner house, a small sedan was carried by several strong women and stopped in front of Jia Mu's courtyard.
Jia Mu got on the sedan chair and walked to the gate of Rongguo Mansion. On the way, she met Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Xing, and Aunt Zhou. When they arrived at the gate of the mansion, Qin Keqing had been waiting for a long time.
At this time, Wang Xifeng also hurried over from the inner house. When Jia Mu saw Wang Xifeng coming, she smiled behind her back and said, "You monkey, why are you in such a hurry?"
"Replying to the old lady, it's really because the servants in the house are not responsible. Just now, two women had an argument and knocked over the incense burner. That's why I punished them. They just put the incense burner back in its place. No, come on.
The news will come soon." Wang Xifeng said helplessly.
He also said that the servants of Rongguo Mansion were really used to being lazy. They were not ready for this holiday suddenly, and they were still as usual. How could they not make mistakes? Therefore, Wang Xifeng was very busy during this period.
He had to keep his feet on the ground, just to let these servants deal with the aftermath.
Besides, Jia Ke waited outside the palace until the time of Xu, and then a eunuch came out to report to him, saying that the virtuous concubine had left the palace. Jia Ke was also exhausted at this time. From last night to today, Jia Ke did not get out of bed.
If you say you are not tired after crossing a war horse, that would be a lie.
After Jia Ke got the news, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly waited by the imperial road. This time he wanted to personally escort Jia Yuanchun back to Rongguo Mansion.
Not long after, a group of guards came out from the palace gate, with pairs of phoenix and dragon flags, childish pheasant feather palace fans, and gold-pinned stoves burning royal incense, and then a crank-handled seven-phoenix golden umbrella came over, which was the crown robe.
Along with the shoes, there were also deacons and eunuchs holding scented towels, embroidered handkerchiefs, gargle bowls, whisks and other items. After the group passed by, eight eunuchs were behind carrying a gold-topped goose-yellow embroidered phoenix ruan, while Jia Yuanchun was sitting
in it.
Seeing this situation, Jia Ke quickly stepped forward, knelt down on one knee and saluted Jia Yuanchun, "My lord, Jia Ke has seen the virtuous concubine. May the empress live a thousand years, a thousand years."
Jia Yuanchun in the sedan hurriedly ordered the eunuch to temporarily stop the Luan Yu. Jia Yuanchun knew that Jia Ke was now the powerful military minister. There were always no secrets in the harem. Due to Jia Ke's power in the previous dynasty, the maids in the harem
, the eunuchs were very careful with the female Jia Yuanchun, so Jia Yuanchun was somewhat grateful to her concubine brother. If she hadn't been in the harem, she wouldn't know what kind of suffering she would have endured.
Because of Jia Ke's power, even during the days when she was not favored in the palace, no eunuch or maid dared to disrespect her in the slightest, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs never had a shortage of food and clothing.
, this enabled her to survive the most lonely period in the palace.
"Brother, please get up quickly. My family doesn't need to be so polite." Jia Yuanchun said softly in the sedan chair.
Jia Ke then stood up, held his hands beside Luan Yu and said, "I will wait for you here this time, and I will personally escort you back to our Rongguo Mansion."
Jia Yuanchun in the sedan chair was already choked with sobs, but he still maintained his royal dignity, "I often hear about my brother's reputation in the palace. Even the emperor praised me several times. I hope that my brother will continue to serve the court and relieve the emperor's worries."
.”
Jia Ke was thinking at this time that the emperor probably wanted him to die immediately. Even if he praised Jia Yuanchun in front of Jia Yuanchun, it was just perfunctory. Looking at what Jia Yuanchun just said, he probably understood the mystery. That's why he said it.
He was told to serve the imperial court and be loyal to the emperor.
But now Jia Ke and the emperor are almost as powerful as fire and water. No one can take a step back, otherwise it will be an abyss. But when facing Jia Yuanchun, Jia Ke still replied respectfully: "Don't worry, I will do it."
Be loyal to your duties and serve the country and the people well as an official."
In fact, Jia Ke still doesn't understand why the emperor hates him so much. If the emperor hadn't pushed him every step of the way, Jia Ke would never have had any disobedience. At most, he just wanted to be a powerful minister with some power.
Jia Yuanchun didn't say anything after listening to Jia Ke's words, so Luan Yu continued to move forward. Jia Ke and the elite soldiers from the infantry commander's Yamen escorted him around.
So Jia Yuanchun's escort, in addition to the palace maids and eunuchs, plus Jia Ke's guards, could travel for several miles. Such a scene was really too grand, and I'm afraid even the queen's trip would not require such a scene.
Those who were secretly paying attention to Jia Yuanchun were a little bit tongue-tied when they saw this scene. They thought that Jia Yuanchun was indeed the emperor's most favored concubine, and Jia Ke lived up to his name as a powerful minister. With such a pomp, the entire capital was stunned.
Rongguofu is the only one in the country.
This large group of people arrived at Ningrong Street very quickly. At this time, Jia Zheng and all the men in the Jia family were already kneeling at the entrance of Ningrong Street to greet them.
Jia Yuanchun, who was in the Luan Yuzhong, heard the eunuch's report that Jia Zheng and others were kneeling to greet him at the entrance of Ningrong Street, and hurriedly ordered the eunuch to go and help him.
So three or four little eunuchs immediately ran out to Jia Zheng and Jia She and helped them up.
Jia Yuanchun, who was in the palace, did not speak. A group of people followed Jia Yuanchun's family and came to the gate of Rongguo Mansion.
At this time, Mother Jia had already knelt down at the gate of Rongguo Mansion with Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, Mrs. You, Aunt Zhou and other high-ranking ladies, and behind her were all the female family members of the mansion.
This time, without Jia Yuanchun's orders, several eunuchs immediately ran out and helped up all the ladies in front of them who were wearing royal robes.
Then Luan Yu did not stop, and went directly to the gate of Rongguo Mansion. Luan Yu was carried through the gate to the east of a courtyard, where the Jia Mansion prepared Jia Yuanchun to change clothes.
After arriving at the courtyard, several young eunuchs knelt down to ask Jia Yuanchun to get off the sedan chair. Then several palace ladies helped Jia Yuanchun down.
Jia Yuanchun got off the sedan chair, raised his eyes and looked around. He saw all kinds of lanterns shining brightly, all tied up with gauze and silk, which were very exquisite. Although the trees in the courtyard had long since declined, they were still decorated with various colored silks. They were very luxurious. The courtyard
The doors and windows in the palace are all decorated with colored glaze. Even among the imperial palaces, there are few such gorgeously decorated palaces.
Jia Yuanchun was silent when she saw this. When she left home, she still knew the situation at home. Now that she is so extravagant and wasteful, she wonders how many more years of famine will the family face? Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel sad. In order to let the family go,
Once she went home, she had given everything she had.
Jia Yuanchun entered the courtyard and changed out of his court clothes and put on his casual clothes in the palace. He got on the court again and entered the provincial palace again.
Jia Yuanchun opened the sedan curtain again and took a closer look at the provincial villa. He saw fiery trees and silver flowers inside, and colored lanterns made of brocade were hung everywhere, illuminating the whole garden as bright as day. There were flowers blooming everywhere. When Jia Yuanchun saw it,
Yuanchun couldn't help but feel frightened. You must know that it's cold weather now, and it will cost a huge amount of money to let the flowers bloom at this time.
Moreover, the sound of long-lasting music can be heard from several places, making people feel hazy, like being in a fairyland. There are endless scenes of peace and wealthy people.
When Jia Yuanchun saw this situation, he was not happy. On the contrary, he was even more worried about his family. He thought that life in the house might not be easy in the future. He secretly blamed himself for spending so much money just to go home and visit his relatives.
Financial resources. If it weren't for the emperor's decree, she would not be able to do this anyway.
Concubine Jia looked at the scenery inside and outside the garden in the sedan chair, so she nodded and sighed: "It's too luxurious and expensive!"
Jia Yuanchun, surrounded by palace maids and eunuchs, went all the way to the main hall of the provincial villa. The eunuchs knelt down again and asked Jia Yuanchun to get off the sedan chair.
With the help of the palace maid, Jia Yuanchun got out of the sedan chair again, stood in front of the main hall and looked at the main hall carefully. He saw the sky around the court, the ground covered with incense, the fire trees and flowers, the golden windows and jade sills, and countless curtains curling with shrimps and whiskers.
There are fish and otters on the carpet, the fragrance of musk brains floats on the cauldron, and pheasant tail fans line the screen. Really: the Immortal Mansion in Yuhu, Kinmen, the concubine’s home in Orchid Palace, Guidian.
Then Jia Yuanchun entered the main hall and sat down on the throne in the middle of the hall. Then a eunuch went down to deliver an edict that the high-ranking men of Jia's family would come to arrange a ceremony.
After a while, eunuchs led Jia Zheng, Jia She, Jia Ke, and Jia Zhen, the four most powerful people in the Jia family, to come to see him.
Among them, Jia Zheng walked in the front because he was Jia Yuanchun's father, Jia She followed on the left of Jia Zheng, Jia Ke was able to stand on the right of Jia Zheng because of his excessive power, and Jia Zhen could only follow behind.
According to the rules, other Jia Zhu, Jia Lian, Jia Baoyu and others are not qualified to enter the main hall to pay homage to Jia Yuanchun.
Jia Zheng led a few people into the main hall of the provincial villa and looked up. He saw his daughter, who seemed to be the same as when she first entered the palace, but she looked much more mature than before. After not seeing each other for these years, Jia Zheng saw his daughter's heart
He was also very sad. He originally did not want his daughter to enter the palace, but Mrs. Wang made her own decision. At that time, Jia Yuanchun saw the predicament of the Jia family, as well as Jia Zhu's failure in the imperial examination, and Jia Ke's rise to prominence. For their legitimate wife, for their legitimate wife,
My family is living a better life, and they gritted their teeth and agreed to my mother's request.
At this time, when the father and daughter met, they couldn't help but burst into tears. However, there were too many maids and eunuchs nearby, so they couldn't say anything intimate.
Jia Yuanchun quickly said to Jia Zheng who was lying on the ground with tears in his eyes: "Please get up quickly, don't ruin my life."
As soon as Jia Yuanchun finished his instructions, a eunuch immediately came forward to help the four of them up.
