Besides, when Jia Ke returned to the palace, he did not go back to Qianqing Palace to rest, but came to Yangxin Palace.
Seeing this, Li Deshan hurriedly came over and asked, "Master, which empress are you going to rest with today?"
Jia Ke shook his head and said: "No need to bother, I will rest in the Yangxin Hall today."
As soon as Li Deshan heard what Jia Ke said, he quickly went out and ordered someone to clean up Jia Ke's bedroom.
Early in the morning of the second day, Jia Ke got up early to clean up, sat in the main hall of Yangxin Hall, and wrote a royal order on the imperial desk.
"Li Gui."
As soon as Jia Ke finished speaking, Li Gui, who was serving Jia Ke in place of Li Deshan, came to Jia Ke's face in three steps and two steps at a time, and asked with a smile on his face: "What are your orders, master?"
"You go to Rongguo Mansion and take my royal order to take Xue Baochai into the palace."
After receiving the order, Li Gui held Jia Ke's royal order in both hands and exited the Yangxin Hall.
As soon as he left the Yangxin Hall, Li Gui immediately started shaking, and a dozen eunuchs immediately surrounded him.
Li Gui was not polite to these people and directly ordered them to pack up their honor guard and immediately go to Rongguo Mansion.
When he arrived at the door of Rongguo Mansion, Li Gui did not dare to act recklessly here. He got off his horse and came to the door. He raised his hands to the boy at the door and said, "How many brothers? Go in and report to me, saying that I have the prince's royal decree." , I want to go to the inner house to see Miss Xue Baochai."
The people at the door also knew Li Gui. When they saw him coming, they quickly nodded and bowed to say hello to him, and immediately sent someone to report inside.
After a while, the old lady's order came from inside, asking Li Gui to go to the old lady first and then give Xue Baochai's orders.
Li Gui didn't dare to disrespect the old lady's orders, so he was led by several women to the old lady's room.
And this is the old lady's room, where Jia Baoyu is acting coquettishly with the old lady.
It turned out that his little servant Qi Guan was forcibly taken away by Jia Zheng during this period and placed in the study.
The old lady also knew about this matter, and Jia Zheng reported it to him personally.
Because during this period of time, Jia Baoyu became more and more fond of this young man, to the point where he was inseparable, and Jia Zheng looked really shameless.
Moreover, Jia Zheng saw that Jia Ke had reached the extreme of being a human minister and was about to face the south and the north, and the Jia family were also relatives of the future emperor. Wouldn't Jia Baoyu lose the face of the future royal family by making such a fuss.
So Jia Zheng forcibly put this Qi Guan in his study, just to separate them.
And since Jia Baoyu left Qiguan, it can be said that food and tea no longer taste good, and she feels bored doing anything alone every day.
Jia Baoyu's servant Mingyan gave Jia Baoyu an idea, asking him to go to the old lady to act like a spoiled child, and watch the old lady send a message to Jia Zheng to put Qi Guan back.
Jia Baoyu thought it was reasonable, and that's why the scene just happened.
No matter how coquettish Jia Baoyu was, Jia's mother never agreed to him.
While Jia Baoyu was making trouble, the maid outside called out, "Li Gui, please see the old lady."
Jia Mu winked at Yuanyang next to her, and Yuanyang immediately shouted outside, "Let him come in."
At this time, the door curtain was lifted, and Li Gui walked in timidly from the outside.
Even though Li Gui looks like a human outside, he still has the identity of the old boy after leaving the Rongguo Mansion. However, he does not dare to offend anyone with a second identity.
As soon as Li Gui came to Jia's mother, he knelt down on the ground with a plop, kowtowed, and said: "Well, old lady."
Jia Mu glanced at him, and then said: "Brother, why did you ask me to come?"
Li Gui did not dare to hide it and said hurriedly: "Reporting to the old lady, the prince ordered the younger one to take Xue Baochai and Miss Xue into the palace."
Jia Mu smiled slightly when she heard that it was indeed the case. She saw something was wrong with them yesterday, and Jia Ke gave the order only one day later. It seemed that she couldn't wait any longer.
Before Jia Mu could express anything, Jia Baoyu, who was sitting next to her, immediately became unhappy.
"Brother, what's going on? It's not enough to have my sister-in-law and Xiangyun, but I have to take Sister Xue into the palace. What's the point?"
Li Gui was kneeling below, disapproving in his heart. What is the master's current status? He is bringing all the beauties in the world into the palace, and no one dares to say a word.
However, Li Gui only dared to say this in his heart. On the surface, he did not dare to refute Jia Baoyu. He could only kneel there and wait for Jia Mu's instructions.
Jia Mu glanced at Jia Baoyu and said, "It is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. What's the fuss about it?"
After Jia Mu said this, she said to Yuanyang standing next to her: "Go to my warehouse and get the pair of Yuanyang jade bottles."
After receiving the order from Jia Ke's mother, Yuanyang immediately bowed and retreated. After a while, he came in with two little maids. Each of the two little maids held a jade vase in their arms, with a pattern of a mandarin duck playing in the water engraved on it.
, exquisite and unusual, it is not an ordinary thing at first glance.
Jia Mu looked at these two things, and then said to Yuanyang: "You take this thing with Li Gui, and it will be regarded as a reward from me to Bao Yatou, so that after she enters the palace, she can serve her elder brother well."
Then Jia Mu waved her hand and asked Li Gui and others to retreat.
After everyone left, Jia Baoyu immediately rushed to Jia Mu's side again, "Old lady, how can you agree? I don't know whether Sister Bao agrees. Isn't this pushing her into a pit of fire?"
Jia Mu really had no choice but to explain to Jia Baoyu: "How do you know he is not willing? When Baochai came to stay in our house temporarily, wasn't he just waiting for the palace to choose? Isn't that the case now?
Did they get what they wanted?"
This time Jia Baoyu really had nothing to say, and in the end he could only mutter and stand aside again.
Besides, Yuanyang and Li Gui left Jia Mu's room. Li Gui bowed his body and humbly said to Yuanyang: "Young man, please lead the way for Sister Yuanyang."
Yuanyang smiled and said nothing. In fact, she also enjoyed the way this powerful eunuch humbled herself in front of her.
So the two of them took the maid and eunuch through the corridor and came to a small courtyard, where Aunt Xue lived.
There was a little maid waiting at the door. When she saw a group of people coming in front of her, Yuanyang was walking first. Behind Yuanyang followed an eunuch who was not familiar with the clothes, so she knew that the person who was delivering the order was coming.
So a little maid hurried in to report, and the rest of the people came to Yuanyang to salute her.
Yuanyang didn't say anything to them, just nodded and went straight into the yard. At this time, Aunt Xue and Xue Pan had already arrived in front of the door.
Seeing Yuanyang, Aunt Xue immediately smiled and said, "How come you, the chief manager, have time to come to our place today?"
Yuanyang smiled and thought to himself, isn't this asking questions knowingly?
"I'm here to congratulate Miss Xue on behalf of the old lady."
As soon as Aunt Xue and Xue Pan heard this, they knew that the matter was over and quickly moved Yuanyang and Li Gui into the main hall.
Only then did Li Gui take out the order from his arms.
Aunt Xue waited to see Li Gui's appearance and quickly knelt down together. Yuanyang also knelt on the ground.
Li Gui opened the edict and read: "The Regent has issued an edict: Xue Baochai has outstanding appearance and good character. Xue Baochai is specially appointed as the concubine of the Regent."
After Li Gui finished reading, he handed the order in his hand to Aunt Xue, then stepped forward and quickly helped Aunt Xue up.
Aunt Xue held the order and kept trembling. It was their biggest hope in these years. When they came to Beijing, they hoped that Xue Baochai would enter the palace, but in the end they failed. Now they can finally get their wish.
The mandarin ducks also came forward, ordered the two maids behind them to deliver the pair of jade vases, and then said: "The old lady asked me to send two jade vases, and asked me to send a message to Miss Bao to let her enter the palace.
Serve His Highness King Yan well."
The next thing went much smoother. First, the Jia family prepared a sedan chair, and then they and Aunt Xue personally sent Xue Baochai to the sedan chair.
Before getting on the sedan chair, Xue Baochai thought about entering the palace. Although it was close at hand, it was still far away.
Thinking of this, Xue Baochai burst into tears, holding Aunt Xue with both hands, reluctant to let go.
Aunt Xue felt sad when she saw Xue Baochai like this. In the past, she only thought that after Xue Baochai entered the palace, the Xue family would be able to follow their rapid rise. Now that she thought about the separation of flesh and blood, she understood the pain involved.
Only Xue Pan, who was standing by, urged him heartlessly, while Xue Baochai saw that it was getting late and could only get into the sedan chair with tears in her eyes.
Then, under the leadership of Li Gui, the sedan chair was carried into the palace.
Although Xue Baochai was in the sedan chair, she was not completely satisfied in her heart, because she had heard about the scene when Jia Ke married Qin Keqing. After that, she took Shi Xiangyun as his concubine and held a big banquet. But when she came here, she
It was carried to the palace in a sedan chair without any publicity. It would be a lie to say that she was not angry.
But it's good, the goal has finally been achieved, and I'm not sure what will happen next.
Besides, the sedan went directly through the Wuchao Gate, past the Qianqing Gate, and arrived at the entrance of the Qianqing Palace. At this time, Qin Keqing was already waiting in the main hall.
As soon as the sedan stopped at the door, several palace maids stepped forward and opened the sedan curtain, helping Xue Baochai out of the sedan.
Xue Baochai got out of the sedan, raised his head and looked around, and saw towering palaces all around. At the entrance of Qianqing Palace, the palace maids and eunuchs stood there in silence, waiting for the master inside to send a message.
At this time, Xue Baochai felt refreshed, and the depression she felt when she just went out had been forgotten.
Although he is now outnumbered by Qin Keqing and Shi Xiangyun, it is still unclear who will win in the future.
At this time, a middle-aged nun walked out of the Qianqing Palace. She came to Xue Baochai slowly, looked her up and down, and then a vigilant light flashed in her eyes.
"The empress ordered my slave to take Concubine Xue into the palace to pay her respects."
