Jia Qiang's Ordinary Life

-------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------

It is indeed good news that Yuan Chun has a child and is still a son.No matter what, the emperor still showed a smiling face, happily rewarded a lot of people, and then put on Fengzao Palace.

Jia Qiang is naturally not clear about what happened next, but someone knows!

"You don't know, the baby was born, but it looks like it's sick and can't be raised!" Li Cheng, who had been to the palace quite a lot, drank a cup of tea and said in a low voice.

Jia Qiang nodded. There was nothing surprising about it. At least it was never mentioned in Dream of the Red Chamber that Yuan Chun had a son, which meant that even if the child was born, he didn't live long.

Li Cheng was very well informed, and he sneered: "Don't look at how many rewards my imperial brother has given Fengzao Palace. He looks like he likes that child very much, but he is actually like that! You know, since then, the imperial brother After I went to Fengzao Palace for the first time, I used the excuse that Concubine Xiande was going to be in confinement, and I just rewarded some tonics or something. Even the three rites were casually fooled. People went to the palace to have a look, but in the end, the emperor didn't give the Jia family this kind of grace at all! Those members of the Jia family are still proud, and they don't know what they are proud of!"

Jia Qiang took a sip of tea, and said lightly: "What's so hard to understand, Concubine Xiande has a son, and in the eyes of outsiders, she has been favored all the time. It can be said that her status has been stabilized. Can they not be happy? Can you not be pleased?"

Li Cheng leaned lazily on the back of the chair and narrowed his eyes: "Come on! They haven't entered the palace recently, I don't know, after their backer Xiande concubine gave birth to a child, her body also weakened, so I don't know how to be able to do it." How long will it last!" What he didn't say was, especially, under the emperor's intentional or unintentional favor, Yuan Chun in the harem was almost a public enemy, not to mention, how many people wished her to die!Yuan Chun's dying son was also made into this appearance by the means of those women in the harem.The war between women in the harem is never worse than that in the court, but more intense. At least in the court, most of the time, you only attack the opponent's beliefs, but in the deep palace, the wars of women are always full of watching. The disappearing gunpowder smoke almost makes it difficult to wash off the blood in a lifetime.Li Cheng also experienced this kind of thing when he was a child. He once had a brother who was only two years older than him. His biological mother was the emperor's favorite concubine at that time. The son is like me, if he will become a great weapon in the future, within half a year, the prince who was less than ten years old got smallpox, he didn't get over it, and died soon, but he was posthumously crowned a county king.

The two quickly changed the topic and started to talk about other things. After all, there is less time to get together now, and they can't always be wasted on discussing irrelevant people.

On the fifteenth day, Mrs. Wang handed over a sign to the palace, and was able to enter the palace to meet her daughter, and by the way, talk about her marriage with the Xue family.

Yuan Chun was weak after giving birth, and was still lying on the bed. The incense burner was lit with fine lily incense, filling the hall with an elegant fragrance.Although it is autumn, the summer heat has not completely disappeared. Because of the confinement period, Yuanchun can't take a bath, so he can only wipe his body with a wet towel every day to prevent his body from smelling. Although these emperors have never come, but Well, if the emperor comes, you can't make him feel uncomfortable.

Baoqin led Mrs. Wang into the inner hall, and greeted Yuan Chun. Yuan Chun hurriedly gave her a seat, and sat up herself, leaning on the soft pillow, talking to Mrs. Wang.

"Your Majesty, how is the little prince?" Mrs. Wang hurriedly asked shortly after she sat down.

A wry smile appeared on Yuan Chun's face: "I don't know why, the emperor's congenital deficiency always looks too thin! He's still asleep, or else I'll take him out and show her to Shuren!" She said it very implicitly. , although the child has grown up these days and is no longer a wrinkled monkey, but he is still thin and has no strength to cry, like a cat meowing, and eats little, it seems that the next moment will be He stopped breathing, and every time he looked at it, it made people worry.

Mrs. Wang naturally thought that it was just ordinary infirmity, and she didn't care about it, so she said: "Take care of it well, and you will get better! It was like that when Baoyu was born, isn't it fine now?"

Yuan Chun nodded, and hoped so in his heart, this little child has just opened his eyes, and he needs to drink tonic every day, and hope that as his mother said, he will get better soon!A woman in the harem, in addition to relying on grace, doesn't she rely on her son?So he said: "I will accept the auspicious words of Shuren!"

Yuan Chun talked with Mrs. Wang for a while, and then felt a little tired. She hurried over with the piano and put a soft pillow behind her. Seeing this, Mrs. Wang hurriedly asked: "Your Majesty looks bad, why don't you invite me?" Physician?"

Yuan Chun waved his hand: "You don't have to worry, Shuren, it's just that you are a little weak. The imperial doctor has seen it a few times and prescribed a prescription. They say that it will be fine after a period of recuperation!"

"Amitabha, the minister's wife can rest assured!" Madam Wang breathed a sigh of relief, no matter what, this daughter is the biggest backer of the Jia family now, no matter what, nothing can go wrong!

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Mrs. Wang said, "Your Majesty, this minister's wife is here for Baoyu's marriage!"

Yuan Chun was a little embarrassed, but he still asked, "Are you still with cousin Xue?"

"That's right, you've seen Baochai's child before, ma'am. No matter in character or appearance, he is outstanding!" Mrs. Wang hurriedly said, "Furthermore, Baoyu and her almost grew up together. The relationship is good, and the two families are relatives, and if they get closer, aren't the two a match made in heaven?"

Yuan Chun was really helpless, and sighed: "Shuren, the cousin of the Xue family is indeed a good one, but after all, the Xue family is a businessman, and the Jia family has had hairpins for generations. Although the Xue family is relatives, after all, their family background is still too poor! Shuren is not good. I like the cousin of the Lin family, and I know it too. However, apart from the two cousins, there are so many dukes in Chang'an City. Could it be that they can't find someone who can match Baoyu? Anyway, Baoyu is still young, so it's okay to wait a year or two of!"

Mrs. Wang had no choice but to nod her head. Before she came, she made a promise with Aunt Xue, saying that she would be able to ask for a marriage proposal. However, looking at Yuan Chun's appearance, she was obviously not happy. It is very likely that the old lady said something behind her back, and Mrs. Wang wanted to grit half of her teeth. However, although Yuan Chun was her biological daughter, one of them was a noble concubine in the palace, and the other was a fifth-rank woman. Wife, with such a disparity in status, Mrs. Wang can't force it, so she has to go back and talk to Aunt Xue first. The matter of the two children has to be discussed in a long-term manner.

After all, Yuan Chun was weak and tired after talking for such a long time. Seeing this, Mrs. Wang naturally resigned tactfully. Before leaving, she left a small box behind.

Baoqin sent Mrs. Wang out of Fengzao Palace, and soon went back, Yuan Chun had already laid down, with a sleepy expression: "Baoqin, open the box!"

Baoqin opened the small box, took out a stack of well-folded banknotes, Baoqin counted them quickly, and sighed: "Your Majesty, a total of 800 taels of silver!"

Yuan Chun also sighed, 800 taels seems like a lot, but what can you do in this palace?Every time I bribe the eunuch next to the emperor, it costs at least 100 taels of silver!Such a small amount will be used up in a few times. It seems that she still has to find a way to pass on the news and ask the family to send some money in. After all, it is not only herself, but also her own son.The son is weak, and the Tai Hospital must also take care of it, otherwise, they will do something secretly, but there is no reason for it.

Baoqin put away the stack of banknotes, looked at Yuanchun, and said with some doubts: "Madam, could it be that there is not much money in the account of Jia's family? Otherwise, how come these few times when Shuren entered the palace, why did she bring less money every time?" Woolen cloth?"

Yuan Chun was silent for a moment, and sighed: "I'm afraid that's the case! Speaking of which, the family-senting villa was too luxurious that day. I think it cost a lot of money, and it will be difficult to turn around for a while! No wonder my mother has been thinking about Baoyu and Xue's cousin. Getting married, after all, the Xue family is rich!"

Baoqin tentatively said: "Then Niang Niang, what do you mean?"

Looking at the gorgeous curtain, Yuan Chun said calmly: "Next time a lady enters the palace, I will decree to give her a marriage! As long as I am here, who can underestimate Jia's family and Baoyu?" At these words, she felt tired for a while.All my life, I have been living for the Jia family.When I was still young, I had to enter the palace to run for election. She said she was a female official, but she was not actually a servant. She had been in the palace for many years, and I don’t know how many people she knew well. There was a well, where many people were buried, and she didn't want to be one of them, so she started to fight, and finally, she attracted the attention of today, and became a member of the concubines in the harem. It was not easy to get to this point, Yuan Chun looked at his white and delicate hands, feeling a little dazed. Once upon a time, this hand, which could only play the piano and embroider, was stained with blood that couldn't be washed clean?Now, she has no way out!Whether it's for the Jia family or for herself, she can only continue to fight like this. What is a noble concubine? A concubine will fall out of favor. What is a queen? The location of the Compassion Palace!
