Three months have passed in the blink of an eye. Now in the Duke of Yan's mansion, Lan Xiang finally gave birth to a daughter for Jia Ke after a lot of hard work.
When Jia Ke saw this daughter, he held her in his arms and couldn't bear to let go. Lan Xiang, who was watching from the side, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time began to feel a little irritated. Now that there were two young masters in the house, she originally
She also thought about giving birth to a son, but now she is just a daughter. It would be a lie to say that she is not disappointed, but fortunately, Jia Ke still loves her daughter very much, which makes her feel relieved.
Jia Ke was indeed very fond of this daughter. In order to name this daughter, he thought about it for several days and finally came up with a pretty good name - Jia Xuan.
During this period, the belly of the virtuous concubine Jia Yuanchun was getting bigger and bigger. Although the emperor was imprisoned in the harem, he could move around at will. During this time, he almost slept in Jia Yuanchun's Fengzao Palace.
.
As Jia Yuanchun became heavier and heavier, her mother, Mrs. Wang, went in to visit her every now and then.
It must be said that Mrs. Wang is really good to her children. She brings countless supplements every time she goes there, just to make Jia Yuanchun feel better and be able to give birth to the prince safely.
On this day, Mrs. Wang entered the palace again with her things as usual.
For nobles like the Jia family, the current palace is just like a visit, they can come and go at will.
Therefore, no one dared to stop Mrs. Wang from the palace gate to Fengzao Palace.
At this time, Jia Yuanchun, who was in Fengzao Palace, had already received a message from below and knew that her mother was here to see her, so she quickly ordered her personal maid to go and greet her.
After a while, Baoqin took Mrs. Wang to Jia Yuanchun's palace.
Jia Yuanchun was already waiting outside the palace door.
When Mrs. Wang saw this scene, she quickly came to Jia Yuanchun's side in three steps and two steps at a time, supported her, and then scolded the palace maid and eunuch next to her: "It's not that you can't see it, your queen is so heavy.
Without personal advice, if something goes wrong, none of you will survive."
The eunuchs below didn't dare to refute. They stood there with their heads lowered, helplessly accepting Mrs. Wang's reprimand.
Mrs. Wang scolded the people below, then helped Jia Yuanchun into the main hall again, and then sat down on the soft couch.
Mrs. Wang then said to Jia Yuanchun: "How have you considered what I told you last time?"
Jia Yuanchun was a little hesitant when he heard this. It turned out that when Mrs. Wang came to the palace last time, she persuaded Jia Yuanchun to make a proposal to the emperor and asked the emperor to make Jia Yuanchun the queen.
Jia Yuanchun is also bold now. If Jia Ke had not warned her some time ago, she would have made suggestions to the emperor long ago.
Now that Jia Yuanchun knew how powerful Jia Ke was, how could she dare to cause trouble in the palace again, but she still missed the position of queen very much in her heart.
So Jia Yuanchun looked at Mrs. Wang and said helplessly: "Mother, my daughter, I have this heart, but I don't have the courage. What if my eldest brother finds out, is it better for me?"
When Mrs. Wang heard this, she still didn't understand that Jia Yuanchun was afraid of Jia Ke.
So Mrs. Wang pondered for a moment and said: "Don't worry about this matter. You can just advise the emperor. I will talk to the master about the matter with the elder brother. When you entered the palace, I felt that I had wronged you. Now I will give you some compensation."
, the master has nothing to say."
Jia Yuanchun smiled happily after hearing this, then hugged Mrs. Wang's arm and started acting coquettishly.
Jia Yuanchun did not tell Mrs. Wang that the emperor had promised to make her the queen earlier, but there was no news during this period, which made Jia Yuanchun feel a little uneasy, but he had nothing to say.
And Mrs. Wang held Jia Yuanchun in her arms and kept stroking his hair, she was also so kind.
It's just that Mrs. Wang didn't see that Jia Yuanchun's eyes were shining coldly, as if he wanted to choose someone to devour.
Now Jia Yuanchun is different from the Jia Yuanchun who only wanted to protect the Jia family. Because she has been in the big dye vat of the harem, her desire for power has become more and more powerful.
Although Jia Ke dealt a blow to Jia Yuanchun last time, she did not give up. She was still thinking of ways to gather power and improve her status to prepare for the future.
Not only did Mrs. Wang and Jia Yuanchun talk about their true feelings here, but also a tall building was built next to the current Duke of Yan's Mansion.
This is the Prime Minister’s Office that the Ministry of Industry has been building in the past few months.
Since the Prime Minister's Office was not completed some time ago, Jia Ke has been the Prime Minister of the government in the Yangxin Hall in the palace, so people all over the world have some opinions about him.
Jia Ke didn't want to continue to be annoying before the situation was completely under control, so after the Prime Minister's Yamen was completed, he announced to the world that he would handle world affairs in the Prime Minister's Yamen, and the military aircraft department would also be moved to the Prime Minister's Yamen to assist him.
.
Therefore, the center of power in the world has now been moved from the imperial palace to the Duke's Palace of Yan and the Prime Minister's Office.
After Giaco imprisoned the emperor, he also stopped all dynasties and issued an edict to the world that from now on all matters would be promulgated and executed by the Prime Minister's Yamen.
The emperor in the palace seems to have turned his back on these things. He is now addicted to wine and sex every day and has completely ignored the world's major events.
In the past three months, the Military Aircraft Department has gradually been on track to assist Jia Ke in handling world affairs.
Now the first thing Jia Ke asked the Military Aircraft Department to do was to slowly replace the civilian officials in charge of the administration in various places.
If there are those who are sensible, keep them. If they are those who keep clamoring about the rules of the monarch and his ministers, some people cannot be used at all.
They are upright officials who seek orders for the people. They have to be put aside for the time being. When they really sit in the Jinluan Hall with dignity and dignity, it will not be too late to promote them. If they are retained now, I am afraid that not only will they not be able to help themselves, but they will do bad things.
.
On this day, Jia Ke had just returned to the Duke of Yan's Mansion from the Prime Minister's Office.
As soon as I arrived at the gate, I saw Jia Zheng's servant waiting there.
When the young man saw Jia Ke, he ran over quickly, gave Jia Ge a thousand dollars, and then said: "I would like to pay my respects to the uncle. The master has asked me to invite the uncle to come over."
Jia Ke also felt strange. During this period, Jia Ke was busy with official duties and did not pay attention to the affairs in the mansion. Now that Jia Zheng suddenly came to look for him, could something happen in the mansion again?
"What happened in the house recently? Are you looking for me in such a hurry?"
When the young man heard Jia Ke's question, he lowered his head, thought for a moment, and then said, "To tell you what, sir, there hasn't been any major incident in the mansion recently. If it is an incident, there is one incident."
"What is it?"
When the young man saw Jia Ke asking, he also wanted to curry favor, so he came to Jia Ke's side, lowered his head and said mysteriously: "Madam's personal maid Jin Chuan'er was suddenly kicked home by Madam, and everyone jumped
The well is dead.”
When Jia Ke heard this, he sneered. He had forgotten about this public case. Mrs. Wang's face also changed when she saw the maid flirting with her son. She went up to the two pot stickers without asking. Mrs. Wang's maid
Jin Chuan'er was also a fiery man, so he committed suicide like this.
It seems that this Jia Baoyu has done a lot of harm to others, messing around with women everywhere, but not taking any responsibility at all, thus giving birth to a good person in vain.
Jia Ke didn't say anything after hearing this. Liu Yu next to you said, "Reward."
Liu Yu immediately took out a certain amount of silver from his arms and stuffed it into the boy's hand.
When the boy got the money, he immediately became cheerful and smiling. Sure enough, he was still generous. As long as he flattered a little, he was immediately rewarded with a large sum of money. He was much better than the second and third masters in the house.
After Jia Ke admired the young man, he led him directly through the side door of Rongguo Mansion and came to Jia Zheng's study.
And this was in Jia Zheng's study, where Jia She and Jia Zhen were still sitting, and even Jia Zhu was standing beside Jia Zheng.
This made Jia Ke a little confused. What kind of day was it today? Several heads of the Rongguo Mansion were actually here.
Jia Ke came into the room, first saluted Jia Zheng, then saluted Jia She, and then sat next to Jia Zheng.
When Jia Zheng saw that Jia Ke was already seated, he coughed and said, "I'd like to greet you today. I have something to discuss with you in the future."
After Jia She listened, he was silent for a long time, and then said: "You can make your own decision in any matter. Now in this Rongguo Mansion, I still have room to speak."
Jia Zhen saw that Jia She spoke in a strange manner, and was afraid that Jia Zheng would be annoyed by this, so she hurried over to smooth things over and said, "If you have anything to say, just tell me."
Jia Zheng glanced at Jia She and was not angry. In fact, he understood his brother, so over the years Jia She had been ridiculous and extravagant. Jia Zheng also saw that he was his elder brother and did not interfere too much.
Jia Zheng just sighed, and then continued: "Didn't the Empress pass away some time ago? Now the master of the harem is vacant. I see that we, Yuanchun, have suffered a lot in these years, and now we should let her
The looseness is fast and the looseness is fast.”
After Jia Zheng said this, he looked at Jia Ke. The meaning was very obvious. He wanted Jia Ke to agree to make Jia Yuanchun the queen.
When Jia Ke heard this, he felt angry. This Jia Yuanchun has changed from before. Can power really corrode people's hearts?
But Jia Ke was not angry in front of Jia Zheng, and just said calmly: "Father may not know yet, but the reason why the Queen is visiting the sky this time is because the Concubine Xiande gave him a bottle of Heding Red."
After hearing this, Jia Zheng was so frightened that the cup in his hand fell to the ground.
Jia She next to him also had his brows twitching after hearing these words, and his hands were trembling a little.
On the contrary, Jia Zhen said calmly: "Sister Yuanchun is a little anxious this time. If after a while, the world is settled and the Supreme Emperor has a funeral, we can find another reason for the Empress to die of illness, so that we can hide it from others."
After hearing this, Jia Ke looked at Jia Zhen in surprise. He was on point with these words. It seemed that Jia Zhen was still a bit quick-witted.
Standing next to Jia Zheng, Jia Zhu's eyes shone with disbelief. He did not expect that the gentle and virtuous sister at home would turn into a cold-blooded and merciless virtuous concubine.
