When Mrs. Wang heard Jia Mu's scolding, she lowered her head and said nothing.
In fact, she still felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. Although Jia Ke was about to conquer the world, in her mind, she still hoped that her daughter could become the empress dowager and her grandson could become the emperor.
This is not because of her stupidity, but from the perspective of her immediate interests. If Jia Ke becomes the emperor, although she can rise with the tide, she will never be able to surpass Aunt Zhou.
When the time comes, Jia Ke will be granted the title of empress dowager, as well as the empress dowager of the two palaces.
She, the Empress Dowager, may be in name only, and no one will take her seriously. In everyone's minds, Aunt Zhou is the real Empress Dowager. If she does this, she may be overshadowed by Aunt Zhou.
If you want to suffer such grievances, you might as well let your grandson become the emperor. In this case, Aunt Zhou still can't escape her, and no matter how powerful Jia Ke is, he can't violate traditional ethics.
At this time, Yuanyang came in from the outside, came to the old lady, saluted her, and then said: "Go back to the old lady, Princess Beijing is outside asking for an audience."
After listening to Yuanyang's words, Jia's mother understood what was going on. She probably got the news that her child, King Beijing, had been imprisoned by Jia Ke and was being sent back to the capital from the border. He came to plead with her.
Jia Mu thought about it for a moment and felt that after all, they had a good relationship in the past, it would be a bit unkind to not see each other now.
"Please come in quickly, Princess."
Yuanyang stood up quickly after hearing the order, and then left the main room. After a while, he heard jingling bells outside, and his footsteps became loud.
Then I heard the sound of mandarin ducks outside, "The Princess of Beijing has arrived."
Then the door curtain was lifted, and a graceful and elegant woman in her 40s came in.
When the woman came to the house and saw Jia Mu sitting motionless in the middle, a trace of darkness flashed in her eyes, but she immediately put on a smile.
"Junior, I would like to pay my respects to the old lady."
Jia's mother sat in the middle and said with a smile: "Please sit down quickly, what kind of politeness can our two families have?"
The mandarin duck next to him quickly prepared the golden throne for the concubine next to the old lady.
The concubine was polite and sat on the chair, and then the maid brought tea.
When Jia Mu saw that Princess Beijing had already sat down, she asked, "Why do you want me to come here this time?"
After hearing Jia Mu's question, Princess Beijing burst into tears immediately, and then said: "My child, I don't know what mistake he made, and he offended the Prime Minister. I am here to pay tribute to the Prime Minister on his behalf."
I hope the Prime Minister will have enough to apologize and let my poor child go free."
While they were talking, a maid outside heard an announcement: "Baoyu is here."
Then Jia Baoyu entered Jia Mu's main room. As soon as he entered, he saw a beautiful lady in Jia Mu's room. He was stunned. He did not expect that there were guests in Jia Mu's room.
When Jia Baoyu came in, Jia's mother smiled and said, "Why don't you go and give your mother a gift?"
Jia Baoyu hurried forward and saluted Mrs. Wang first, and then saluted Mother Jia.
Then Jia Mu pulled Jia Baoyu to her side and said to Princess Beijing who was sitting there: "This is my grandson Baoyu."
After Jia Mu finished speaking, she asked Jia Baoyu to present herself to Princess Beijing.
When Jia Baoyu heard that the person in front of her was Wang Shuirong's mother in Beijing, she immediately became affectionate. He immediately came to Kaifei, saluted her, and then asked: "How are you doing these days, Your Majesty? How am I doing?"
I haven’t seen her for a long time.”
When the concubine saw Jia Baoyu asking this question, she rolled her eyes, then a sad look appeared on her face, and then said: "This must be Baoyu. When I was at home, I often heard Shui Rong talk about your friend."
Jia Baoyu also smiled when she heard that Shui Rong regarded her as a friend.
When the concubine saw Jia Baoyu, she had a smile on her face, and continued: "Unfortunately, he went to the border customs some time ago on errands. I don't know what crime he committed, and he has been taken away to the capital."
After Princess Beijing finished speaking, she burst into tears. After hearing what the princess said, Jia Baoyu was also worried about her friend, so she turned around and walked to Jia Mu's bed, took his hand and said: "
Ancestor, please tell your elder brother, if it’s not a big deal, don’t pursue it.”
Princess Beijing's eyes lit up when she heard what Jia Baoyu said, and she looked at Jia's mother expectantly.
But Jia's mother said to Jia Baoyu as if she hadn't heard anything: "Some foreign envoys sent some novel gadgets last time. You go to the back, and the mandarin ducks are all reserved for you."
The mandarin duck standing aside immediately understood what the old lady meant, and immediately said with a smile: "Third Master, we have never seen that thing before. The coral is nearly as tall as a person, and the pearls are as tall as a baby."
Fist."
Although Jia Baoyu felt a little strange after hearing this, these things were not too precious in the Rongguo Mansion, so he did not pay attention to Yuanyang, but continued to shake Jia Mu's hand and plead with her.
But Jia's mother still ignored Jia Baoyu and just said to him: "Children, please don't get involved in adults' affairs."
Mrs. Wang, who was below, also saw that Jia Mu's face was not like the one just now, so she hurriedly came forward to hold Jia Baoyu.
"You've been eating well these past few days, but I heard from Xiren that you are a bit gluttonous at night."
After hearing this, Jia Baoyu said a little embarrassedly: "I don't know what's wrong, but I always feel a little hungry these days."
After listening to this, Jia Mu, who was sitting above, smiled and said, "What's the point? Children are going to grow up, so they naturally have to eat more."
Then Jia Mu said to Yuanyang: "Go and take your third master to the back. I left some delicious food for him."
Yuanyang hurriedly took a few steps forward to pull Jia Baoyu to the back. Who knew where the Princess of Beijing could let Jia Baoyu leave?
She stood up, took a few steps forward, grabbed Jia Baoyu's sleeves, and said, "My good nephew, Shui Rong is in trouble now. Please beg the old lady for me and let her send a message of mercy.
Ask your prime minister to let Shui Rong go."
After hearing this, Jia Baoyu hurriedly looked at Jia Mu, but what he saw was not the usual kind-faced Jia Mu. The current Jia Mu's face was livid, her eyebrows were raised, and she looked so scary.
Seeing this, Jia Baoyu didn't dare to beg. He hurriedly opened his sleeves and said, "I'll go to the back first."
After saying that, he left in a hurry.
Seeing Jia Baoyu leave, Jia's mother said: "Please come back, Princess. How can I, an old lady, interfere in the government affairs? Naturally, the law has the final say on the right and wrong. Mandarin ducks, please send Princess out."
After hearing this, Yuanyang, who was standing aside, immediately came to Princess Beijing and said, "Your Majesty, I will escort you out."
When Princess Beijing saw this, she didn't succeed until this time. However, the first time she came, she had no idea that she could succeed immediately, so she could only stand up and follow the mandarin ducks out.
After Princess Beijing left, Mrs. Wang asked Jia Mu: "Why didn't the old lady sell her a favor?"
Jia Mu glanced at Mrs. Wang, and then said: "Brother, I have made my own decision on this matter. Let's not get involved."
After hearing this, Mrs. Wang could only remain silent.
Not to mention that Mrs. Wang was struggling here, but also that Jia Ke left the military aircraft office and returned to Rongguo Mansion with a large group of people.
Lin Zhixiao, the chief steward of Rongguo Mansion, had already been waiting at the door for a guard of honor from Jia Ke, and immediately ordered the middle door to be opened.
Jia Ke led his troops to the gate of Rongguo Mansion, only to see the middle gate wide open, and Lin Zhixiao and twenty or thirty people from the family knelt there.
Jia Ke did not dismount, but sat on the horse and asked: "What's going on? Why did you open the middle gate today?"
When Lin Zhixiao heard Jia Ke's question, he hurriedly knelt down a few steps forward, came to Jia Ke's horse, and replied: "When I return to the uncle, this is what I ordered. When I return to the house from now on, I will always open the middle door."
.”
Jia Ke nodded after listening, he already understood what Jia Zheng meant.
Now Jia Ke's status has reached the pinnacle of human affairs. From now on, he cannot enter any mansion through the side door. Otherwise, it will be inconsistent with his status.
Besides, Jia Zheng has already seen that sooner or later, the world will belong to their Jia family. Jia Ke's throne is already certain. If he is allowed to use the side door in the future, there may be gossip in the future.
After Jia Ke finished thinking, he dismounted. Ben Bray, who was next to him, came over and held the reins for him, while Liu Yu and his guards immediately gathered around Jia Ke.
Jia Ke then led this group of people through the main entrance and entered Rongguo Mansion.
Outside the Rongguo Mansion, those officials who wanted to cling to the Jia family were now kneeling on both sides. They didn't dare to stand up until Jia Ke disappeared.
Which of these officials is not a monkey spirit? They have already seen that the world has changed. Now they are here to curry favor with the Jia family. They say it will not sound good to others, but in fact, they want to show it to the future emperor.
These people have already longed for the future emperor, and after Jia Ke ascends the throne, they will not lose their official positions because of their early fawning and surrender.
Jia Ke entered the Rongguo Mansion and said to Liu Yu and Ben Bray: "The current situation is unstable. You two must be more careful. Our guards now have more than 1,000 people. Send them all out to protect our three mansions."
It needs to be protected tightly.”
After Liu Yu heard this, he immediately held up his hands and said: "Don't worry, uncle, I will make arrangements right away. If there are not enough people, I will go directly to the infantry commander's office to transfer people. I want our house to be safe 12 hours a day."
Jia Ke nodded, and then said: "The people transferred from the infantry commander's office are on the outside. Let our soldiers be there. There can be no negligence now."
"I will obey your instructions."
After Jia Ke finished giving instructions to Liu Yu, he took several of his personal servants into the second door and went to Jia Zheng's small study.
And here Jia Zheng and several heads of the Jia family have been waiting here for a long time.
