The Prince of the Historian of the Red Chamber

Concubine Yuan is pregnant, which is a great joy for the Jia family, not to mention that the old lady and Mrs. Wang are both very happy. For a while, I rewarded all the servants inside and outside the upper room and the second room; not to mention the children and men of the Jia family, whose nostrils were all up to the sky, as if they had become the sons and grandsons of the princes and grandchildren. Like a maternal uncle, he even thought that this is the first prince after succeeding to the throne. Compared with those princes in the court whose mothers are not obvious and have mediocre talents, he has a mother of a noble concubine. The concubine and the prominent natal family... for a while, people's hearts fluttered, and dark waves turbulent.

"Tsk, let's talk about the Sujun King who is the most valued nowadays. That one is just a person with no backing. How can he compare with the little prince in the belly of our imperial concubine! Maybe our Jia family will be..."

"Brother Jia, be careful!" The faces of the flattering dandies sitting around him changed, a fat man with big ears who still had a good head interrupted him hurriedly, and wiped his bright white forehead with his sleeve Beads of sweat came out of fear.

That man surnamed Jia was drunk, curled his lips indifferently, this group of cowardly bastards, isn't his uncle right? Although the king of Sujun, the emperor likes it, he can't be too much for the emperor's wishes. The one in the womb of the concubine Yuan got the favor of the emperor and old sage before she was born. I heard that she likes it very much now. With the help of the Rongning and Ninggong government, the other four princes and six princes are also very helpful. , it is impossible to say that he will be established as a prince when he is born, hum!At that time, he will be the uncle of the future emperor!

Although this group of children who eat, drink, and have fun, although they are all illiterate, they have a bit of a mind. Even if they want to curry favor with the children of the Jia family who are getting more and more powerful, they also know the crime of talking about the royal family indiscriminately.At this time, singing and dancing are not rewarded, even the wine has woken up, one by one hurriedly pleaded guilty and left, running faster than a rabbit——The Jia family is so arrogant, it can be ignored, these little shrimps The little crab still wants the head on the neck!

Especially the fat man with the fat head and big ears, supporting the two servants, while wiping sweat with his sleeves indiscriminately, while sticking out his huge belly, he slid extremely fast, as if chewing Coptis chinensis in his mouth, gnashing his teeth in his heart: white flowers Such a big price, how could he curry favor with such a deadly master!He didn't even look at the occasion, and he dared to talk nonsense even when there were ears everywhere, which dragged him down in vain! ——Who doesn't know how much he loves the King of Su County today, let alone the King of the County with illustrious military exploits, but he is a person who kills like hemp and stops children from crying at night!Fuck you!

This fat white man was originally the youngest son of a local official. He didn't like studying and was good at hunting since he was a child. , the fat white man who has always been very lively and active just huddled in his uncle's house and dared not go out, so he only sent the servants around him to secretly go out to inquire.

The children of the Jia family became more and more arrogant, and even the other families with the Jia family's in-laws were very proud. The young master surnamed Jia who spoke wildly before was just a "drop in the ocean" who was particularly blatant.

In fact, what this unknown young master Jia said is correct. Compared with the one in the belly of the concubine Yuan, King Sujun does not have a powerful mother's family, what's more, his mother died young, and he has several helpers in the palace. There is no one who blows the pillow wind, but the sum of these things is not enough to have a "father"!No matter the noble concubine or the mansion of the state, in the era when the imperial power was greater than the sky, the momentary heaven and the momentary hell were nothing more than the emperor's thoughts and thoughts.

Not long after, these words reached the ears of Li Xiuge, the minister who led the guards. This first-rank military officer who will be established in the early years is also a wonderful person. Behind the military achievements is even more notorious. As soon as he returned to Beijing, he was appreciated by the present, accepted into the imperial court, and was named a second-class bodyguard. Not to mention the military power in the imperial palace, half of the eyes and ears on the surface today belong to him.

Hearing the big words of Mr. Jia from his subordinates, Li Xiuge sneered, his narrowed eyes for no reason sent chills down the spine, and lazily waved his hands, "Go talk to Mr. Hua, The rest—you know what to do."

The little guard with an ordinary appearance and identity below bowed his head and promised, and when he retreated, he was submerged in the crowd of guards in the blink of an eye, and he couldn't find anything.

Three or five days later, a son of the Pangzhi who had not yet released the fifth suit with the Rongguo Mansion suddenly died suddenly, which made Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang uncomfortable when they were celebrating—and after hearing the news, they once had a relationship with this The fat young master who had had a drink with him abruptly avoided that day and left Beijing in a hurry.

At that time, Li Xiuge and Hua Gonggong, who were not on duty, were drinking the fragrant and precious green Lu'an melon slices in the small room where the guards rested. For a moment, these two raised their lamps and smiled lightly, the two foxes, one old and one young, were completely unmoved.It's just a small bug that's an eyesore. The Holy One has already instructed it. Such a small bug is not bad for the family. It's not bad to talk about the royal family, and even to slander Su Junwang. It's really an old birthday star who hanged himself and hates his life long...

After a while, after tasting tea, Shi Shi ran out the door. This father-in-law Hua glanced at the loyal but cunning godson eunuch who was following him, and said without thinking: "Who is this man? How big the bowl is, how big the rice is, don’t think about punting without the measure of the prime minister, be careful not to overturn the boat in the gutter—”

"Father, I know." The little eunuch choked out a sentence.

"You know what a fart!" Eunuch Hua poked the little eunuch's finger angrily. It's not worth it to be so angry, he will never teach him to suffer a loss, and wait for the future... Thinking of the future, the old eunuch will feel better again, and his son will win that master in the future because he is so loyal and tight-lipped eyes!

"Father, don't be angry, the imperial physician just told you not to get angry... Also, we have to drink the medicine when we go back. I saw you pour the bowl of medicine in front of you into the tooth-stained narcissus lake stone on the table. Inside the bonsai..."

Old man Hua's eyebrows trembled, his old face was almost unstoppable, and it took him a long time to let out a foul breath: Forget it, this kid is a filial man, fortunately he is just like his son, and he can't even give a fart to others , don't worry about offending the master for this in the future.

Alas, the old man sighed, he still has to train|teach|teach this son well, otherwise how can he rest assured that he will take over the position of chief executive? The power of eyes and ears is not an easy task.

"...We don't need to worry about the other things, we just need to recognize the master's intentions, do the master's order well and be careful, anyone else's face is empty..."

Eunuch Hua chattered in a low voice, which is like a mirror in the heart of an old eunuch who has been up and down in the palace for decades. According to him, he really doesn't need to sell anyone's face in this palace now-he is the current confidant eunuch, He still doesn't know what's going on with the emperor today?As for the concubines in the harem, hmph, to put it bluntly, there may have been a few people who intervened in the affairs of Empress Song back then. The holy majesty has become more and more resentful day by day after being dormant these years, and there will be many cold palaces that have been vacant for a long time in the future. Sooner or later, it will be full. If you want to blow some pillows and make some stumbling blocks, you should worry about your feet!

Glancing at the tall man half a step behind him, he doesn't look like a father-in-law's godson, and the old eunuch has to admit that foolish people have foolish blessings. King Sujun and today are both in love, little Both the master and the "little things" of Lord Yuan acquiesced, and they, as slaves, just pretended not to see it. In the future, when King Su Jun ascended to this position, the harem would be even bigger than it was when Lady Song was there. Quiet, without all the private matters that you fight over in the harem, wouldn't the chief eunuch be much easier?

……

Before going back to Eunuch Hua's house, he met the palace daughter of Fengzao Palace head-on. The first one was Baoqin in pink palace attire. Baoqin bowed to Eunuch Hua and smiled before saying anything.

Eunuch Hua still looked like a smiling Maitreya, and said with a smile: "Is there something wrong with the girl holding the piano?"

Baoqin is now a high-ranking female official in Fengzao Palace. She is the No. 1 concubine in front of the imperial concubine. Naturally, she is flattered in a place like the imperial palace, but what is rare is the girl's etiquette behavior. She is not bad at all, she is polite to everyone, but she has won the favor of many little palace people.

After exchanging a few greetings, Baoqin didn't say anything, and a palace lady in a lake blue palace dress standing pretty behind her said eagerly: "Director Hua, the Holy Majesty will still be in Fengzao Palace today. Do you want to eat?" Feeling inappropriate after finishing speaking, the court lady lowered her head to reveal a beautiful back nape like a white swan's neck, her face was stained with a blush, and she remedied: "I, our empress is in very good spirits today, little girl. The master is also very happy, he will kick his legs in the empress' belly."

"Cough—" Baoqin coughed and kicked his legs?If the empress knows this, I'm afraid you should kick your legs.

Eunuch Hua was still smiling, and he sized up the maid without a trace. Looking at the exquisite embroidery on the woman's body, his eyes deepened. Concubine Yuan actually made such an idea, and made this one look so good-looking. Idiot obsessed?I really don't like to die so fast.

After playing a few words of Tai Chi casually, both Baoqin and Eunuch Hua didn't seem to have heard what the court lady said - spying on the holy trace, the crime should be punished - I am afraid that there will be another crime on the head of Concubine Yuan in the future, old man I thought casually.

Before leaving, Baoqin took a few steps forward, squeezed a purse and handed it to Eunuch Hua, who had his sleeves in his sleeves, and smiled more and more kindly. After saluting, Baoqin and the others turned to another road.

No one knew what Baoqin said to Eunuch Hua in just the blink of an eye.

After walking far away, Eunuch Hua turned his head and glanced at the inconspicuous woman who was standing with the palace lady in lake blue clothes just now—no wonder he looked at the woman with a slightly arrogant look when he just looked at it, it turned out to be Baoling The prostitute of the Hou family.

——It’s just another unclear one. Listen to the report from the person watching the “virtuous” king of Beijing that Miss Smith’s marriage as the side concubine of Beijing was ruined because of her natal family, the Marquis of Xiangyang. Well, now she has entered the palace again, not looking at her reputation and virtue, thinking... is she worthy? !

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

A few days later, the Supreme Emperor praised the group of veterans he liked. Taking advantage of the happy event of the eldest daughter of Rongguo Duke's mansion giving birth to a prince, he not only rewarded Fengzao Palace, but also said that he would bestow a marriage to King Sujun.

Today's majesty said nothing.King Sujun thanked him for his kindness, but he was not happy.

In another two days, on the birthday of the founder of the country, the princes are now decreed to be rewarded. The sixth son, Prince Sujun, Prince Jinduansu, is different from the rest of the princes.

At this time, Shi Xiangzhi's identity and reputation as a prince's side concubine are a bit inappropriate. After all, the incident of Baolinghou's failure to be moral and lax in teaching his son is still vivid in my mind, and there is another Xiangyang Marquis who has been deposed The mother who was born had to become a prince and concubine.And for a little concubine, it would be too much to get a marriage from the Supreme Emperor. After all, this marriage is just a metaphor for a concubine.

But among the people, scholars of Shilin and common people whispered such words in private: It is natural for a father to give a marriage to his son, but it is a little bit like a grandfather to give a marriage to his grandson (although it did not succeed). This makes sense anyway, although it is well known that the current Prince Duansu has never been favored by the emperor, it is also strange that this marriage was given.

But the father surpasses the son to reward the son's concubine... This is really... Even if the emperor rewarded the daughter-in-law in the past dynasties, it was the errand of the Ministry of Internal Affairs or through the hands of the queen or the queen mother. Your face will be greatly rewarded!Besides, this Concubine Yuan is just a noble concubine, if it is enough to be placed in someone else's house, then she will be a noble concubine. If she is the empress in the palace, the father-in-law will reward a concubine? ... The Supreme Emperor, is it not that you are old and confused?

The Supreme Emperor, who wanted to give face to his old ministers by drinking wine, never thought that such a storm of verbal criticism would be caused...
