Jia Yuanchun was already exhausted by this time, but the queen was still holding on there, as if nothing had happened, so she couldn't leave to rest. When she heard Dai Quan's words, she just had a step forward.
So Jia Yuanchun said to the queen next to him: "Queen, we have been kneeling for a long time now. It's time to take a rest. Otherwise, my body may not be able to bear it."
Unexpectedly, the queen said to Jia Yuanchun with a sullen face: "Concubine Xiande, you don't know the rules. At this time, we juniors wish we could die for the Supreme Emperor. Now we just kneel down for a while and can't stand it anymore. What's it like?"
Jia Yuanchun was immediately made red in the face by the Queen. He was kind enough to ask her to rest together, but he didn't expect that she would be so unreasonable.
But at this time, Dai Quan, who was standing behind Jia Yuanchun, was unhappy, so he took a step forward and saluted the queen, and then said: "My slave Dai Quan has met the queen."
He raised his head and glanced at Dai Quan, and then said with a sarcastic face: "Isn't this Eunuch Dai next to the Supreme Emperor? Why do you have time to come here?"
This made Dai Quan feel a little shameless, thinking that after a while, when the emperor dethrones you from your post, let's see how I deal with you.
But now in public, Dai Quan couldn't do anything to her, so he had to say with a smile: "I'm afraid your Majesty doesn't know that this slave is now with the new master, the Concubine Xiande."
"No wonder."
"The Queen, I think our master also has good intentions, so why should the Queen be sarcastic? This may not be good for anyone. The Queen should think about her own future."
After hearing Dai Quan's half-advisory and half-threat words, the queen felt angry for a moment, but then when she thought of her parents and siblings, it was like a basin of cold water was poured on her head. If she could just fight on her own, she would
She had to take this breath when she died. But when she thought of her elderly parents, she no longer dared to let out the anger in her heart.
So the queen could only stand up, bowed to Jia Yuanchun and said: "Thank you very much, sister Xiande. I was a little too sad just now and my tone was a little bad. Please bear with me, sister."
This sentence is very polite to say. You must know that in ancient times, other concubines called the queen "concubine". Now the queen can call Jia Yuanchun her sister, which is a substantial apology.
After hearing this, Jia Yuanchun didn't take it seriously, but still said with a calm expression: "I am indeed a little tired. If the Queen doesn't rest, then I will go back to the palace to rest for a while."
The queen forced a smile and said: "Sister, thanks to you today, it's time for you to go back and take a rest. It's enough to have me here."
Jia Yuanchun saluted the queen again, then turned around, and with the support of Dai Quan, left the Qianqing Palace and headed towards Fengzao Palace.
All the civil and military officials and Mrs. Gaoming they met along the way stood aside and bowed when they saw Jia Yuanchun.
But Jia Yuanchun accepted their courtesy calmly, and now she has survived. Thinking about how she has been cautious and walking on thin ice after entering the palace for so many years, how could she be as happy as she is today.
Besides, the queen who was still guarding the Supreme Emperor in the Qianqing Palace began to look sad after seeing Jia Yuanchun leave. Even if the queen knew that her days were numbered, she would never let go of Jia Ke and his sister Jia Yuanchun.
If your own ending is good, you will spend your whole life in the cold palace. If your ending is bad, your soul will die in an instant.
It was the queen who had such a clear understanding that she changed her previous gentle demeanor and thought about giving the emperor some protection in her last days.
Besides, Jia Ke left the palace with everyone in Rongguo Mansion and returned to Rongguo Mansion under the protection of the guards.
But this time, the masters of the Rongguo Mansion finally knew Jia Ke's status in the court, and also knew what their Jia family would be like in the future.
After everyone returned to Jia Mu's courtyard, they sat down in Jia Mu's main hall.
At this time, Jia She had not yet reacted to the excitement. He was still flushed and walking up and down the floor of Jia Mu's hall, unable to stop for a moment.
But at this time, Jia Zheng was much calmer. After all, he was Jia Ke's father, and when he was in the Ministry of Works, even the Minister of Works treated him with great courtesy. He already understood Jia Ke's power.
Jia's mother sat on it and looked at Jia She, jumping up and down like a monkey, a little unhappy. She patted the table and said to Jia She, "How old are you? You're not in shape yet, and you're not honest yet."
Sit tight."
Seeing that the old lady was angry, Jia She reluctantly sat on the stool.
When Jia Ke saw that I had done everything for everyone, he stood up and bowed to Jia Mu and said: "Old lady, since I have nothing to do anymore, I will leave first. There are still a lot of things waiting for my grandson to deal with."
Jia's mother knew that Jia Ke had just been made prime minister and had many things to do. She couldn't bother him anymore with family matters, so she let Jia Ke go about his business.
But before Jia Ke could leave Jia Mu's government affairs, he was stopped by Jia She.
Jia Ke could only stop when he saw Jia She speaking, and turned around to greet him.
Jia She smiled and helped Jia Ke up, and then said: "Brother, in those days, the imperial court wanted to raid many rebellious houses, so I'll keep the courtyard. Why don't you give me one? I'm still in the side courtyard now."
It’s really not a problem to stay in bed.”
It turned out that Jia She felt that his family had turned around now, and there was no need for him to continue to live in that side courtyard and live in humiliation.
After hearing this, Jia Ke wanted to promise him that this was just a small thing.
Unexpectedly, before Jia Ke opened her mouth, Jia Mu, who was sitting above her, slapped the table and became angry.
"You bastard, eldest brother has just come into power, and you are trying to make trouble for him. If word of this gets out, how will the world look at eldest brother?"
When Jia Ke heard this, he stopped talking. Although this matter was just a small matter to Jia Ke, and Jia Ke didn't care what people outside said, but after all, it is better to have more things than less things. Since Jia Mu opened
If you talk about it, then there is no need for you to take on this problem again.
When Jia She heard Jia Mu's scolding, he could only turn around with a murmur.
Jia She returned to his original seat, turned around and said to Jia Ke: "Brother, don't listen to him, go and do your business properly."
Jia Ke then saluted Jia Mu again, turned around and left the room.
After Jia Ke left, Jia She and Jia Zheng began to discuss the future of Jia's house again, and the discussion became more and more lively and unruly. In the end, even Jia's mother couldn't listen anymore, and they coughed and asked them to go back to their houses.
rest.
Jia Ke and Jia Mu's residence later returned to the mansion, and after asking, they found out that Qin Keqing had not come back yet, presumably because he was talking to Aunt Zhou.
So Jia Ke walked around and arrived at Lan Xiang's small courtyard. He was busy during this period and had not visited Lan Xiang, who was pregnant, for a long time.
As soon as Jia Ke entered Lanxiang's campus, you were discovered by the maids. When these maids saw Jia Ke coming, they immediately saluted him with smiles on their faces, and then shouted into the room: "The master is here to see my aunt."
Lan Xiang heard the sound inside and hurriedly came out. Who knew that she was pregnant now, her body was already heavy, and she had some difficulty in moving. As soon as she walked to the living room, Jia Ke had already entered the room.
When Jia Ke saw Lan Xiang coming to greet him, he hurried forward to support her and complained: "My body is so heavy, why should I run? Do I still care about this?"
After he finished speaking, he reprimanded the maid next to him: "Your aunt doesn't know the importance, don't you? If you want to do this again in the future, please persuade her."
When the maid and mother-in-law beside Lan Xiang heard what Jia Ke said, not only were they not angry, but they happily apologized to Jia Ke together and promised that Lan Xiang would persuade her next time.
The reason why they were happy was because they saw that Jia Ke had Lan Xiang in his heart, and their status in the mansion depended on the importance of Lan Xiang in Jia Ke's heart.
Jia Ke helped Lan Xiang back to the room and asked him to lie down on the bed. He took a chair and sat next to her.
Lan Xiang looked at Jia Ke and said with a smile: "I heard from people in the mansion that you have been promoted to an official position again."
"This is not a promotion. It's just that the emperor had no choice but to appoint me as an official." Jia Ke knew that although Lan Xiang was a woman, she still had some strategies in her heart, so she was willing to do some things in the court sometimes.
Talk to her.
"Uncle, look, I'm going to give birth in a month or two. Have you chosen a name for our child?" Lan Xiang heard that Jia Ke's tone was a bit unpleasant, so she immediately changed the subject.
Jia Ke didn't want to talk about this issue anymore. After all, he didn't hold power just above board, and no one wanted to hear others say that he was a traitor. Now that Lan Xiang had changed the subject, that was exactly what Jia Ke wanted.
"Not yet. You know I'm not free these two days. How can I have time?" Jia Ke explained a little embarrassedly. Jia Ke was still a little afraid of naming. He named his first two sons, but he didn't want to.
It took a long time, but Jia Zheng was still dissatisfied with the name that came out.
Lan Xiang smiled and said, "Uncle, I want to ask you a question."
"Tell me, as long as you don't want the moon in the sky, I will do it for you."
"What did the uncle say? Am I such an unreasonable woman?" Lan Xiang said, pretending to be unhappy and frowning.
Jia Ke said helplessly: "Okay, Lan Xiang is the most reasonable."
"Uncle, you said that we have been back for such a long time. My parents and younger brother are still working as shopkeepers in Kaiping Town. Can you bring them back and arrange a job for them nearby?" Lan Xiang was a little confused.
asked hesitantly.
In fact, this was just a test by Lan Xiang. In Lan Xiang's mind, she was thinking about how to reinstate her father's official position, or even promote him to one or two levels. However, he saw that Jia Ke did not arrange anything for his uncle Zhou Wang.
Okay buddy, now he is still working as the general manager of Zhuangzi near the capital, so he dare not bring it up. So he first thought about transferring his father back to the capital, and then slowly asked Jia Ke to give his father an official position.
