The Red Chamber: The Rise of the Shuzi

Chapter 353
In Fengzao Palace.

It was a moment of solemnity.

Emperor Hongde's gaze was fixed on Jia Jing. Although Yuan Chun was serving food for the eldest prince beside him, he secretly focused his attention on Jia Jing.

Both of them were waiting for Jia Jing's reply.

All around, the eunuchs and maids who were serving lowered their heads vigorously.

Being in the palace, they knew very well that, like many things in the palace, it really didn't matter whoever listened to them.

But what the hell,

What Emperor Hongde said at the dinner table right now belongs to those who don't want to listen!

The eunuchs and maids were secretly crying in their hearts.

Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai were naturally aware of the solemn atmosphere in Fengzao Palace.

Under the tremendous pressure, the expressions of the two couldn't help but change.

Jia Jing had a panoramic view of all this.

Is this ready to intimidate?Jia Jing was secretly disdainful.

My impression of Emperor Hongde diminished in my heart.

Suddenly.

Jia Jing said with a smile: "Since your Majesty ascended the throne, the Great Zhou Dynasty has been flourishing compared to before. Small countries around the world have all been waiting for the wind to invest. Now they are just some clowns. How can they match His Majesty's literary and military strategy?"

Emperor Hongde looked at Jia Jing, frowning slightly.

Jia Jing was also looking at Emperor Hongde there, his eyes were peaceful and he did not dodge.

"..."

The slight sound of eating on the table gradually disappeared.

The entire Fengzao Palace slowly fell into silence.

After a while.

"Hahaha……"

Emperor Hongde suddenly laughed, "I never expected that Brother Jing, whom I looked down upon on the battlefield, would also flatter me!"

There was an extremely surprised expression on his face.

Afterwards, as if nothing had happened before, Emperor Hongde stopped asking the previous question, and started a family routine with Jia Jing instead.

During the period, it was mentioned that Jia Jing was making a queen, and the note on asking her to be a queen was written.

When Jia Jing mentioned that the second daughter of Daiyu Baochai was pregnant, Emperor Hongde not only ordered Qiu Shi'an to order the cabinet to approve it as soon as possible, but also waved his hand and gave a lot of food and clothing.

Jia Jing took the two daughters without mentioning Xie En.

When he was seated again, Yuan Chun also took the opportunity to ask about the recent situation of the Rongguo Mansion and about his younger brother Jia Baoyu.

Jia Jing picked out a few of them and briefly talked about them.

When Yuan Chun was chatting with Jia Jing's family, Emperor Hongde hugged the little prince on his lap and teased him...

……

Several people are talking.

From the corner of Jia Jing's vision, she suddenly noticed something abnormal.

It turned out that when Emperor Hongde was teasing the eldest prince in his arms, he accidentally pushed his sleeve a little over his upper arm, revealing the deep and strange dark color underneath.

Jia Jing couldn't help but tremble in her heart.

Seeing Emperor Hongde's eyes looking over, Jia Jing's smile didn't change, she was still talking with Yuanchun Daiyu and the others, as if she didn't notice what happened just now.

Emperor Hongde couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

It's good if you don't see it!
Hurriedly putting down the eldest prince, Emperor Hongde tugged on his dragon robe vigorously.

To make sure that he would never let the context out again, Emperor Hongde said to Jia Jing: "Brother Jing, the county palace built by imperial edict in Yunnan is still under construction, and it will take nearly half a year. .

During this period, if Brother Jing is idle and bored, how about going to the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion to sit in charge for a while? "

"Where is the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies?"

Jia Jing paused after hearing the words, but immediately understood Emperor Hongde's plan.

Ask yourself to go to the military governor's mansion to sit in town. This is during the preparation period, and you have something to do yourself!

Jia Jing also knew that with her temperament, if something really happened during the time when she was sitting in the five-army governor's mansion, then she probably would have taken action without Emperor Hongde saying anything.

have to say.

Emperor Hongde made a good plan.

But how could Jia Jing agree?

Wouldn't it be nice to stay at home with your wife and children when you have the time to go out and work hard?

Then,
Jia Jing immediately refused with a smile.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. After all these years here and there, I finally had such a free time. Now I want to spend more time at home with Daiyu Baochai and the others, but I don't want to go to the barracks every day. Dusty..."

"..."

Regarding this, Emperor Hongde seemed to have expected it long ago, so he didn't say anything more.

It made Jia Jing feel strange for a while.

……

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, everyone left the table.

First, Yuanchun asked Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai to go for a walk in the back garden with their family to digest food.

Then,

With a slight smile on his face, Emperor Hongde called Jia Jing to a secluded place aside.

After dismissing all the eunuchs and court ladies, Emperor Hongde gave Jia Jing a slap in the face first.

The expression was extremely Chen Ken said: "Brother Jing, everyone is a smart person, so I won't play around with you anymore. What happened back then was my fault. How can I make up for it? Feel free to mention it. As long as I can do it, I will agree to it." !"

Emperor Hongde just spread the word out!
silence.

There was silence.

Jia Jing's heart is clear.

Just now, Emperor Hongde let go of the emperor's airs completely, first apologized to Jishou, and then extended an olive branch, which is tantamount to putting everything on the bright side.

It would be fine if Jia Jing accepted the olive branch from Emperor Hongde today, and everyone would be happy then; but if he didn't accept it, it would be tantamount to officially tearing face off with Emperor Hongde.

Not only that, but when Emperor Hongde apologized first, Jia Jing was equivalent to throwing Emperor Hongde's skin on the ground and stomping hard.

Therefore,
Whether to accept this olive branch from Emperor Hongde, or to refuse firmly as always,
The gains and losses here need to be carefully weighed by Jia Jing.

……

the other side.

Yuan Chun was taking Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai to stroll in the imperial garden.

Rao Daiyu and Baochai were born in a small family, married Jia Jing and lived a very prosperous life for several years, but now looking at all kinds of flowers that are still standing proudly in the cold winter, they are still beautiful. Amazed very much.

Many of the flowers here are completely rare varieties kept in the greenhouse.

Now, because Yuanchun wanted to take Daiyu and Baochai to enjoy the flowers, the little eunuchs moved them out of the greenhouse and carefully arranged them in the imperial garden.

After being ravaged by the cold outside, these precious flower seeds are expected to wither.

It has become a one-time consumable!

The wealth and luxury of the royal family is beyond anyone's imagination.

"Speaking of which, both of you and I are still cousins!"

Yuan Chun took Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai's hands, and said with a smile, "One is a younger sister from my aunt's family, and the other is a younger sister from my aunt's family, but now they are both sisters-in-law, what a coincidence!"

Daiyu and Baochai both laughed when they said something.

Then Yuan Chun took a look at the lower abdomen of the two, and asked again: "Have you ever consulted an imperial physician or something?"

Daiyu and Baochai understood what Yuanchun meant.

Lin Daiyu smiled and said, "I've seen it a long time ago, and said that both of them are boys."

"That's a good relationship. When they grow up, the two brothers can study and practice martial arts together. It couldn't be better!"

Yuan Chun smiled and asked again: "Which one is the elder brother and which is the younger brother?"

"The one at Daiyu's is faster, the doctor's estimated date is much earlier!"

Xue Baochai also smiled back.

"That's not necessarily true," Lin Daiyu didn't think so, "One of us is on April 23, and the other is on April 27. The difference is only three or five days, but it's hard to say which one is bigger and which one is smaller..."

said,

Both Lin Daiyu and Xue Baochai laughed.

Lin Daiyu said: "In the end, let's see which kid is more aggressive, and then he will be a big brother."

Xue Baochai also agreed with a smile, "No, it all depends on luck!"

Everyone laughed.
