Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 572 Respective residences
Speaking of Longshou Palace, it is famous as the former Emperor spent his later years here.

You must know that the Supreme Emperor has not lost power, but still firmly controls the military power in his own hands, so the prosperity of the Dragon Head Palace where he lives is no worse than that of the Qianqing Palace.

Moreover, the five-clawed golden dragon decoration occupies a large share here.

Jia Dairu walked around in front of Longshou Palace and was immediately satisfied with the palace.

"This place is great, I will live here from now on."

"Old Master, as long as you are satisfied, let's go and have a look inside." As Jia Rui spoke, he personally helped Jia Dairu into the Dragon Head Palace.

After entering, I found that the decoration inside was even more luxurious than the outside, which reached the ultimate level of human beings.

Looking at the luxurious furnishings, Jia Dairu sighed and thought to himself: I don't know how much silver was spent when building this palace.

The Supreme Emperor spent so much money to build this palace, but now it has benefited his own family. It is not up to people to decide the changes in the world.

Then he asked Jia Rui to support Jia Dairu, and Xue Baochai to support Mrs. Wang, and came to the main hall, where they helped the two supreme beings to the throne in the middle.

Then Jia Rui stepped down the imperial steps, took Xue Baochai and his wives and concubines to kneel on the ground, and kowtowed to Jia Dairu and Mrs. Wang.

Jia Dairu and Mrs. Wang in the middle had their lips pursed and their smiles could not go away.

"Get up, get up, my family doesn't need to be so polite."

With Jia Dairu's words, Jia Rui stood up with the help of Lao Li.

Jia Rui stood below and said with a smile: "Tonight is a good time for everyone to gather, why don't we have dinner together?"

Jia Dairu nodded happily. The old man now wanted to get together with his children and grandchildren to have fun, which made the family seem prosperous.

With Jia Rui's words, Qin Shun below will naturally be prepared.

At this time, Mrs. Wang said with a smile: "Don't accompany us all now, go to our respective places to see each other."

The concubines below had actually been waiting for this sentence for a long time. Now after hearing what Mrs. Wang said, they all looked at Jia Rui.

Seeing so many longing eyes, Jia Rui could only do as he pleased, saluted Jia Dairu and Mrs. Wang, and then left the Dragon Head Palace with them.

They first came to Qianqing Palace and took Xue Baochai and other wives and concubines to visit the central building of the palace.

Afterwards, we passed through Qianqing Palace and followed the central axis to Kunning Palace.

This Kunning Palace was Xue Baochai's future residence.

After Xue Baochai walked around the yard with great interest, he took Jia Rui's hand and entered Kunning Palace.

Afterwards, she and Jia Rui sat in the middle of the main hall of Kunning Palace and accepted the worship of other concubines.

After that, Jia Rui did not leave, but announced the residence of each wife and concubine on the throne.

Xue Baoqin lived in Chuxiu Palace.

Second sister You lives in Yongshou Palace.

Third Sister You lives in Yikun Palace.

Xie Xiu'e lived in Yonghe Palace.

Hualan lives in Yanxi Palace.

Jingchen lives in Jingyang Palace.

Brother Ying lives in Chengqian Palace. Qingwen lives in Qixiang Palace.

Among these people, Xue Baoqin, Second Sister You, Third Sister You, and Jingchen were all named concubines, and the others were all named concubines.

The reason for these different treatments is that Xue Baoqin and others have given birth to children, so their status is higher than other women who have not given birth.

However, no one had any objections to this. In fact, this kind of differential treatment had already appeared when they were still in Prince Wu's Mansion.

The concubine who gave birth to a child for Jia Rui was better than others in terms of food and clothing. Although not much better, this was also a difference in status.

"You all go back and clean up. You will meet at Kunning Palace later, and we will go to Longshou Palace together."

"I obey my orders," the women said in unison.

After that, they exited the main hall of Kunning Palace with the support of their personal maids.

When they came outside, the eunuchs below had already prepared the soft couches for traveling in the palace. After these ladies got on the soft couches, they talked to each other and left Kunning Palace to go to their own residences.

After everyone left, Xue Baochai returned to serving Jia Rui personally when he was in Prince Wu's Mansion.

She personally made a cup of tea for Jia Rui and sent it to Jia Rui. Then she sat next to him and watched Jia Rui drink tea leisurely.

Xue Baochai saw that Jia Rui was in a good mood today, so she moved closer to Jia Rui and leaned her body into Jia Rui's arms.

"Your Majesty, according to the rules, should we give the poor guy in our family a title?"

The loser Xue Baochai talks about is her brother Xue Pan.

Although her brother is under the control of his wife, his flamboyant personality has not faded much, and he spends his money every day in debauchery.

If it weren't for Jia Rui's support, he would have been beaten to death long ago for his arrogance.

Jia Rui looked at Xue Baochai, sighed, and said helplessly: "Tell me, what title should I give him?"

Xue Baochai looked at Jia Rui's frowning face and chuckled, "At least he's a marquis, right?"

Jia Rui had no choice but to say: "I'll let him go for a few days and let your brother worry. Then we'll give him a few more words to make him more honest before we can knight him. Otherwise, we'll give him a title in a hurry now." He’s got a title, why doesn’t he raise his tail to the sky?”

Xue Baochai nodded with satisfaction. As long as he gave his brother a title, Xue Baochai was not worried about when.

Jia Rui blinked his eyes at this time, and then suddenly smiled and said: "Since I gave Xue Pan a title, I might as well give Xue Pan a title too. After all, we are all relatives, and we are all brothers who serve my woman. We cannot favor one over the other." "

Xue Baochai smiled reluctantly when he heard this, then nodded and said: "That's the truth. Baoqin has served His Majesty for so many years and gave birth to a son for Your Majesty. There is no credit but hard work. It's time to reward her. "

"Okay, then it's settled. When the time comes, Xue Pan and Xue Biao will be knighted together."

At this time, Xue Baochai was even more wary of Xue Baoqin.

Among the women in the harem, Xue Baochai was the only one who felt threatened.

The two sisters, who used to be very good friends, now know full well that they maintain a harmonious friendship on the surface. In fact, the two of them have begun to be wary of each other.

Xue Baoqin used to be such a simple person, but as Jia Rui's status became higher and higher and her son was born, Xue Baoqin has lost her innocence now.

Then Jia Rui changed the topic to his son.

Especially for his eldest son, Jia Rui was very dissatisfied. He sat next to Xue Baochai and whispered to Xue Baochai to educate him well.

"Tell me about him. He doesn't know how to study every day. He just wanders around among women. If he continues like this, he will be another Jia Baoyu in the future."
