Xue Baochai naturally recognized the person in front of her. She was Qin Keqing's nanny, Zhu Linshi.
So Xue Baochai did not dare to neglect, and quickly said a blessing to Zhu Lin, and then said softly: "Thank you, mother, for leading the way."
Zhu Lin glanced at Xue Baochai without saying anything, and then led the way. Xue Baochai hurriedly followed behind, and they entered the main hall of Qianqing Palace together.
When they arrived at the main hall of Qianqing Palace, the two parties did not stop, but turned to the left, where there was a small wing.
When everyone entered the side room, they saw a bright yellow treasure seat in front, and Qin Keqing was sitting there upright. Sitting next to Qin Keqing was Shi Xiangyun, and sitting under Shi Xiangyun was Third Sister You.
Next down are Jia Ke's three earliest concubines, the current concubines Chun Cao, Qiao Lian and Lan Xiang.
Below the three of them stood four pretty women, who seemed to be Jia Ke's women, but they were not qualified to sit here.
As soon as Xue Baochai saw this formation, he knew that Qin Keqing was coming with bad intentions and that he was trying to give himself a power.
Although he was not angry in his heart, Xue Baochai did not dare to neglect. He came forward to Qin Keqing and knelt down on the ground, "Sister Xue Baochai, I have seen my empress live a thousand years."
Qin Keqing originally wanted to give Xue Baochai a bad look, but seeing that she was so sensible, if he went too far, it would make him look stingy.
So Qin Keqing said softly to Xue Baochai below: "Since the prince has accepted you as his concubine, you will become his sister from now on."
After Qin Keqing finished speaking, he winked at Ruizhu beside him.
Ruizhu understood immediately, quietly stepped back a few times, then took a cup of fragrant tea from the table next to him, came to Xue Baochai, and handed it to him with both hands.
Xue Baochai naturally knows the rules, because his mother, Aunt Xue, warned her all night last night that the first meeting between this concubine and the real wife is the biggest obstacle. If something goes wrong, she will not have a good life in the future. .
So Xue Baochai stabilized his mind, took the teacup with both hands and did not dare to stand up. Instead, he knelt and walked a few steps forward, came to Qin Keqing, raised the teacup above his head with both hands, and said softly: "Sister Please give me some tea, sister."
Qin Keqing took the tea cup and took a sip, then handed it to the maid next to her.
Then Qin Keqing took out another jade Ruyi from his arms and said it in front of Xue Baochai, and then solemnly said: "I will serve the prince well from now on and spread the branches and leaves for the prince."
Xue Baochai agreed and took the jade Ruyi with both hands.
At this time, Qin Keqing smiled and asked Xue Baochai to get up, and then set up a seat for Xue Baochai next to him.
Next, Xue Baochai and Shi Xiangyun greeted each other, and several other concubines also came to salute Xue Baochai.
After getting all the etiquette at this time, it's over.
At this time, Jia Ke received Li Gui's reply in the Yangxin Hall and smiled slightly while sitting there.
Jia Ke actually saw Xue Baochai's intentions yesterday, but he didn't stop her and just took advantage of this beauty.
As for the fights between beauties in the harem, in Jia Ge's opinion, not only is this not a bad thing, but it is an interesting thing.
If you have nothing to do, just sit and watch these beauties vying for your favor every day, you will feel much better.
In addition to this reason, the most important thing for Jia Ke is that he feels that the time has come and he can't wait any longer.
If he ascends the throne, then Qin Keqing will be the most powerful person in the harem, but Jia Ke doesn't trust Qin Keqing like he did when he first got married.
If Jia Ke ascends the throne and Qin Keqing becomes the queen, and the people in his harem are either too different from Qin Keqing in terms of status, or they are naive, then wouldn't it be Qin Keqing who has the final say in his harem?
So Jia Ke thought about finding a rival for Qin Keqing, so that they would not be idle in the harem. This woman would not know what to think about when she was idle, so that they would have something to do, so as not to plot against themselves.
What's more important is that it's not the time for Zhu Lin to touch her yet, so we need to find a rival for this person so that she can't dominate the palace.
In the Rongguo Mansion, the news that Xue Baochai was approached by Jia Ke and approached the palace has now spread a lot.
And Xue Pan did not hide anything. When he drank with his friends several times, he boasted about it as an honor.
Don't tell me, Xue Pan's bragging really worked. In the past, the Xue family just lived in Jia's house, but now it is different. Xue Pan's sister has become Jia Ke's.
Concubines, who can also be regarded as future relatives of the emperor, will naturally rise with the tide.
Xue Pan himself also felt the difference. In the past, his business partners always cared about him, but now they were much more generous, which made him feel that business suddenly became easier.
But in Rongguo Mansion, the relationship between Aunt Xue and Mrs. Wang took a turn for the worse.
Mrs. Wang hated Aunt Xue for asking her to climb high branches, so she ignored him these days. Aunt Xue was also a discerning person. Seeing this, she immediately said goodbye to Jia Mu. After all, the Xue family no longer needs to be like before.
Only by relying on the Jia family can we survive. With Jia Ke’s giant Buddha standing there, who would dare to fight against their family?
Naturally, Jia Mu knew that their sisters were unhappy during this period, so she did not try to hold them back.
So Aunt Xue and the others moved back to their courtyard in Beijing. Now Xue Pan lost the control of Jia Zheng and others, and became even worse.
A few days passed like this, and one night Jia Ke secretly received Jia Yucun in the Yangxin Hall.
Since Jia Yucun was transferred to the capital to serve as the Minister of Household Affairs and concurrently as the Admiral of the Nine Gates, he has been considered to have great power in these days.
Although Jia Yucun is not yet in the Military Aircraft Department, due to his great power, he is second only to those in the Military Aircraft Department in the court. It can be said that Jia Yucun has Jia Ke's trust very much.
Although Jia Yucun was a bit greedy, and those who usually received more filial piety than the previous officials, Jia Ke did not take it seriously. As long as he took care of the capital for himself, then other things would be trivial.
At this time, Jia Yucun was in the Yangxin Hall, bowing and waiting for Jia Ke's instructions.
Jia Ke walked back and forth in the Yangxin Hall, seemingly unable to make up his mind. Finally, he gritted his teeth and asked Jia Yucun, who was standing aside, "Do you think the time is ripe now?"
If it were anyone else, they would be confused by Jia Ke’s meaningless words. However, Jia Yucun is exquisite and has long understood Jia Ke’s thoughts. Now when he saw him, he immediately replied: "My lord, the situation is now over."
It’s a good time to achieve great things.”
Maybe everyone wants to ask why Jia Ke trusts Jia Yucun so much? Even the ministers of the Military Aircraft Department have never been secretly summoned by Jia Ke.
It turns out that among the civil servants, the only one who is really controlled by Jia Ke and who makes Jia Ke feel relieved is Jia Yucun.
"I'm not worried about the military. I'm mainly worried that some of the civil servants still miss our dynasty."
After Jia Yucun heard this, he quickly enlightened Jia Ke, "Don't worry, my lord, although there are still one or two Lengtouqing, they can't make any big waves."
Jia Ke nodded, then sat back on the throne of the Yangxin Hall, and said to Jia Yucun below: "Then I leave this matter to you. After you go back, contact more people underground to build momentum."
Jia Yucun nodded repeatedly after hearing this.
After Jia Yucun left, Jia Ke said to Li Deshan beside him: "Don't let your secret guards idle during this period. Send all your men out to monitor every move in the capital."
Li Deshan quickly agreed. He also knew that the matter was of great importance and their secret guards could not make any mistakes.
"You should also inform Wei Kun. Don't let him keep looking at foreign countries and the world. Recently, he has given up his mind and concentrated on doing this for me. When this is done, he will naturally be rewarded heavily."
After Jia Ke said this, he sat on the throne, thinking about things with dull eyes.
When I came to this era, I only wanted to be successful. I didn't expect that such a day would come. Now that I have actually reached this point, I feel really scared.
Li Deshan stood below for a while. Seeing that Jia Ke was silent, he quietly looked up and saw that Jia Ke was thinking about something and did not dare to disturb him.
After a while, it was too late to see the sky, so I had to take two steps forward and came to Jia Ke, and asked softly: "Where is the master resting today?"
Jia Ke suddenly woke up Li Deshan. He looked up at the sky and saw that it was already the time when the moon and stars were scarce.
"Go to Concubine Xue."
Li Deshan listened below and showed an expression as expected.
Since Xue Baochai entered the palace, Jia Ke rested at her place almost every day. Even Qin Keqing, who was the most favored in the past, had to avoid Xue Baochai.
Although Xue Baochai enjoys the days of being doted on by Jia Ke very much, she knows that if a tree is as beautiful as a tree in the forest, the wind will destroy it.
So Xue Baochai advised Jia Ke several times to let him get the best of him, but Jia Ge had his own ideas in his heart and didn't take it seriously at all. He still went his own way. In the end, Xue Baochai had no choice but to serve Jia Ke wholeheartedly.
, as for the others, we can only leave it to them.
When Jia Ke took the royal chariot and arrived at Xue Baochai's palace, Xue Baochai saw that the knight Jia Ke had not come today and had already rested. He was waiting for the eunuch's report and had no time to put on his clothes. He threw on some clothes and knelt at the gate of the palace.
Come and greet Jia Ke.
Jia Ke felt very distressed, and immediately came to her side in three steps and two steps at a time, then took off his coat and covered her body, hugged Xue Baochai in his arms and said, "It's such a cold day, what are you doing out here?"
?Just wait for me in the house."
Xue Baochai smiled slightly, and then said: "Isn't this a violation of the rules?"
Jia Ke knew that Xue Baochai always respected the rules, so he stopped talking about her. Instead, he hugged Xue Baochai and entered the palace.
