Red Mansion Beijingwang

Beijing Prince's Mansion, Ning'an Hall.

On the high platform, Concubine Beijing was sitting lazily on it. She was wearing an apricot yellow dress that wrapped her graceful body. She was beautiful and enchanting. She wore light makeup and her dignified appearance revealed an indescribable sense of seduction. .

It's probably the kind-hearted aunt.

Looking at Yuanchun in the hall, Concubine Beijing's beautiful eyes flashed, and she asked pointedly: "What do you think of the matter in Duke Ning's mansion?"

"Good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles." The news that Jia Zhen was imprisoned for embezzling money to provide food for disaster relief spread quickly in the capital. Most of the powerful officials in the martial arts received the news, and the Prince's Palace in Beijing was no exception.

Yuan Chunxing frowned slightly, her round and round face, as bright and dazzling as the stamens of a peony, looked worried, and she clenched her slender jade hands hidden in the sleeves of her skirt.

She understood that Princess Beijing's purpose in asking her was simply that as the Princess of Beijing, her words and deeds represented the Palace of Beijing, reminding her to be careful in her words and actions.

After all, this matter concerns the Jia family.

Pursing her pink lips, Yuan Chun said softly: "Let the Jin Yiwei take the people. I think it is very likely that Brother Laizhen has been greedy for the relief food. He behaves like this. My daughter-in-law doesn't know what to say. It's not that the Holy Master ordered the three bureaus to review together. Let's first Look at the situation and make calculations.”

Although they were relatives, what Jia Zhen did was really speechless. During the disaster, she actually thought about providing food relief, how could she be so stupid.

How should I put it, hate it for not fighting!

Now that the matter has come out, although Yuanchun cares about his relatives, he will not confuse right and wrong. He can only say that he can help as much as possible to avoid getting too involved.

After all, Yuanchun is now the mistress of the Beijing Palace, and she has to think more about the Beijing Palace.

It's just that her heart is always unhappy. At this time, Yuanchun misses her young man. She thinks about everything. If her husband is here, she won't have a clue. As a wife, she just listens to her husband.

Concubine Beijing felt very relieved when she heard this. She was originally worried that Yuanchun would be biased because the other party was from her mother's family, but now it seemed that she was overthinking it.

This has nothing to do with anything else. The key lies in an attitude. It is understandable that you care about your natal family, but you cannot drag the Beijing Palace into troubled waters.

Yes, she is the mistress of Beijing Prince's Palace who can handle things clearly.

After a deep groan, Princess Beijing Zhanran said: "You don't have to worry too much. The Jia family has two men, and they have made great contributions to the court. I think the Holy Emperor will also take care of him."

Concubine Beijing was too lazy to care about the affairs of Ningguo Duke's Palace, especially when her own baby was sent out to provide disaster relief. The people in Ningguo Duke's Palace did not know how to help, but instead held back the efforts to provide disaster relief food. Such a situation was just as it should be.

If it weren't for the fact that she was from the Jia family, Yuanchun's natal family, she would definitely help out and give him a severe blow to vent her hatred.

Hey, my mother is worried because her son has traveled thousands of miles. I don’t know how the monkey is doing now. Are the people below taking good care of him and is he thin?

Weird thinking.

When Yuanchun heard this, Yurong's expression did not lessen. Jia Zhen's crime this time was quite serious. In addition, when her husband chatted with her in the past, he mentioned that the Holy One had some criticisms of these people who contributed to the founding of the country, so it was unlikely that he would be punished severely. , serving as a warning to the monkeys.

Thinking about this, Yuanchun said worriedly: "Mother, merit is merit and fault is fault. What Brother Zhen did this time is really unethical. I'm afraid it will hurt my relatives."

To be honest, Yuanchun has been in the palace for several years, and her relationship with her family has gradually faded. That is to say, Jia Mu, Jia Zheng, Mrs. Wang and Baoyu, who have been kind to her since she was a child, have a close relationship. If Jia Zhen has any family ties, it's just a lie.

Moreover, Yuanchun had heard about some of Jia Zhen's misdeeds in the mansion, but she really didn't feel anything about it. That is because Jia Zhen was the head of the Jia family, and if something happened, the entire Jia family would be implicated.

Concubine Beijing understood what she said and said Zhanran: "Concern leads to chaos. You are also a smart person. How come you are still confused now? Even if the Holy Lord holds him accountable, it is the matter of Ningguo Duke's Palace and has nothing to do with Rongguo Duke's Palace." , Don’t forget, Brother Rong has won the Holy Heart.”

Although both belong to the Jia family, Ningrong has two mansions after all. The Rongguo mansion is an in-law of the Beijing Prince's mansion. If it is not a serious crime, the Rongguo mansion will not be involved.

Your Majesty still has to take care of the dignity of the Prince of Beijing.

Yuanchun couldn't deny what he said. This was the truth. But as the head of the Jia family, how could Jia Zhen have no influence on the Rongguo Duke's government? He just said that there would be no accusations against the Rongguo Duke's government.

This is one of the reasons why Yuanchun can face it calmly.

However, Concubine Beijing brought her words to this point, and Yuanchun probably understood Concubine Beijing's attitude towards this matter, and at least she would not turn a blind eye to the Duke of Rongguo.

Hey, it can be regarded as giving her daughter-in-law some dignity.

Behind the screen, Baochai, Xiangyun, and Keqing gathered together, muttering something in a low voice.

Xiangyun, who was always cheerful, pulled Baochai's sleeves, leaned forward and whispered: "Sister Bao, Brother Zhen has really gone too far in this matter. After all, he is also the eldest man of the Duke's mansion, how can he do it?" Those who are short of money are thinking about providing disaster relief food.”

Baochai's apricot eyes flashed and she said softly: "Let's not get involved in this matter. The concubine and eldest sister will consider it."

Baochai didn't know what to say about Jia Zhen's behavior, but she knew that it was definitely not just the Guogong's family that was greedy for money and food relief, and this was just the beginning.

It's just that there is no need to talk about these things. After all, in the palace, she is still a sister-in-law who has not yet had a name, and she only hides her ignorance and clumsiness.

As he said that, Baochai glanced at Keqing who was holding her face in her hands. Her hibiscus face was charming and charming, and her every move showed her amorous feelings. Even if they met often in the house, they were still eye-catching.

Wei Dao's brother-in-law took him into the palace early and loved him in every possible way.

Pursing her pink lips, Baochai smiled and said, "Sister Qin, what are you thinking about?"

Ke Qing looked at Baochai with side eyes, blinked her beautiful eyes, and said, "I didn't think about anything."

Ke Qing has a good impression of this precious girl. She is very kind and comfortable with others. After entering the palace, she is the sister with whom she has the most friendship.

Xiangyun smiled "hehe" and teased: "What else can I think of? I must be thinking of my brother-in-law."

Keqing's jade cheeks warmed slightly when she heard this, and a shy look flashed in her bright eyes. Xiangyun was right, she did miss the prince, and the embroidered shoes under her feet were squeezed a little closer.

At this time, the mother-in-law from outside reported: "The second wife of Duke Rongguo and Grandma Rong of Duke Ning are here." Baochai and the others were silenced.

At this moment, Yuanchun glanced outside the house and raised his eyebrows slightly. His biological mother and grandma from Dongfu came here probably because of Jia Zhen's affairs.

Princess Beijing didn't care about this. Her heart trembled when she heard that Grandma Rong from Duke Ning's Mansion had the monkey's seed in Hua'er's belly. She couldn't delay, so she hurriedly said: "Please come in."

Not long after, Mrs. Wang and Zhen Hua walked in slowly and saw that Yuan Chun was also here. Mrs. Wang felt relieved and greeted him first.

Concubine Beijing stared at Zhen Hua's belly that had not yet revealed her pregnancy, and frowned slightly. This Hua's was the same. If anything happened, she would just say hello and go there in person. Why bother to come here alone and tire the child? That's her precious grandson.

However, with "outsiders" present, Princess Beijing couldn't show off. She nodded calmly and told the two of them to "hurry up" and sit down.

Facing Concubine Beijing's "enthusiasm", Mrs. Wang couldn't help but be overjoyed. After sitting down, she exchanged greetings for a while before speaking out: "Concubine, you also know about the affairs of Duke Ningguo's residence. We are all in a state of confusion at the moment. I have no choice but to ask the concubine for help.”

After hearing the words, Princess Beijing understood the words, nodded lightly and said: "We have all heard about this matter. Yuan Chun and I also discussed it before. The matter has already broken out. The Holy One has decreed that the three divisions will be tried together. It's not good. Move lightly, wait and see what happens, and then make plans.”

Mrs. Wang's expression changed, and she didn't know what to say for a moment. This made Concubine Beijing make up her mind. Is this the idea of ​​"wait and see what happens"? Then what else does she need to do?

At this time, Yuan Chun stared at Mrs. Wang, pressed her slender hands lightly, and said softly: "Mother is right, the three departments will conduct the trial, and we women can't get involved. Brother Zhen did too much in this matter." It’s not authentic anymore.”

Being greedy for money and giving food to others makes them think nothing of it. Mrs. Wang saw Yuan Chun's cryptic movements, nodded and said nothing. She was not concerned about the affairs of Ningguo Duke's Mansion, and would not have made a special trip to the Rongguo Duke's Mansion if she had not been worried about it.

Now that Yuanchun has hinted at her, he probably has a preconceived idea, so there is no need to hold on to it. Afterwards, the mother and daughter can discuss it privately.

Yuanchun didn't say much when he saw this, and changed the subject: "How is grandma doing now?"

"The old lady has gone to the palace."

Mrs. Wang sighed and said quietly.

Yuanchun was silent when he heard this. What else could Jia Mu do when she went to the palace? She just went to the palace to plead for mercy.

Pursing her pink lips, Yuan Chun looked at Concubine Beijing with her plump face and said softly: "Mother, my daughter-in-law wants to visit the Duke's Mansion to comfort her grandmother."

Concubine Beijing nodded gently and said kindly: "It's okay, you don't have to come back in a hurry. You can stay in the Duke's Mansion for two days, so that you can comfort the old lady and reassure her. Prince Beijing's Mansion will not Will sit back and ignore it.”

Regarding the situation, I still have to say what needs to be said. Yuanchun is a person who understands things clearly and will not be confused.

Yuan Chun felt warm in his heart when he saw that Concubine Beijing treated her so well. Her mother-in-law really had nothing to say about her. The only flaw was that her belly didn't grow, which made Concubine Beijing feel like she had a lump in her throat.

In fact, she can also understand that Princess Beijing has an heir, which is a big deal for the Prince of Beijing.

After standing up and bowing, Yuanchun prepared to go to the Duke's Mansion with Mrs. Wang.

However, at this moment, Zhen Hua, who had been silent since entering Ning'an Hall, suddenly smiled and said to Princess Beijing: "Aunt, Hua'er hasn't paid your respects for a while, and I want to stay with you. , okay?”

When Princess Beijing saw Zhen Hua leaving, she was thinking about how to keep him. She never thought that Zhen Hua would be the first to speak. She was overjoyed. She kept a slight smile on her gorgeous face and said, "That's fine, Hua'er will be in the palace." Stay for a few days.”

Yuan Chun stared at Zhen Hua, his starry eyes flashed, but he didn't say anything.

As for Mrs. Wang, her expression was indifferent. She didn't think it was awkward because Zhen Hua suddenly proposed to stay in the palace, because on the way to the palace, Zhen Hua proposed to stay in the palace to find out the news. She thought it was appropriate, so she Nothing was said.

Anyway, this Zhen Hua is not from Xifu, so she can still control him.

After Yuanchun and Mrs. Wang left, Princess Beijing left Baochai and the others behind the screen to fend for themselves. After a while, Princess Beijing and Zhen Hua were left in Ning'an Hall.

At this time, Princess Beijing couldn't hold back anymore and walked down from the high platform. She walked in front of Zhen Hua with hurried steps. Her beautiful eyes stared at Zhen Hua's belly and said softly: "Hua'er, you Is your body okay?"

Hearing this, Zhen Hua's charming face showed a smile. She caressed her belly involuntarily with her bare hands. An inexplicable light flashed in her eyes and she said, "Aunt, you're fine."

Huh, so what about Princess Beijing, is it comparable to this one in my belly? The concubine didn't even care about her manners when she saw her.

Concubine Beijing felt relieved, and then said with a hint of complaint in her voice: "Why are you worrying about these troubles when you are still alive?"

Zhen Hua's beautiful eyes flashed, she looked at Concubine Beijing with a charming face, and asked softly: "Aunt, will Duke Ning be expelled from the nobility because of this incident?"

Concubine Beijing was slightly startled when she heard this, with a somewhat unnatural look on her face, and said, "It depends on the Holy One's decision."

Judging from Jia Zhen's crimes, it is not impossible to remove the Duke of Ningguo from his title, but how can she guarantee this?

Hearing this, Zhen Hua's clear eyes gradually became foggy. She held the skirt on her belly with her bare hands, and with a hint of sobs in her voice, she said: "Aunt, if Ning Guogong's palace is expelled, I don't care. It's just that the child will continue to live in the future." There is no serious title left.”

When Princess Beijing saw Zhen Hua crying, her heart ached. After all, Zhen Hua was right. With her status, she couldn't enter the palace, but she happened to be pregnant with the monkey's child. Once Duke Ning was expelled from the palace, Then this child is not the heir of the Duke's family, and there is an obvious gap in status.

After all this calculation, it is really difficult for Duke Ning to remove his title from the palace. Otherwise, what will happen to her eldest grandson?
When Zhen Hua saw the unnatural look on Princess Beijing's beautiful face, she felt a little happy and continued to cry: "Aunt, you heard my cousin say about me, my father-in-law is just a "grey crawler" That bastard has been thinking about me. If it wasn't for my cousin, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been brutally murdered. Now that he has committed a crime, he can do whatever he wants. The title of the Duke of this country must not be lost. Aunt, please help. I put it.”

Concubine Beijing frowned when she heard this. She had heard Shui Rong talk about Jia Zhen's "climbing ashes", so she knew it. In the past, she wouldn't have been able to care about such scandalous things, but now Zhen Hua is considered her daughter-in-law, and she has a child from the Prince of Beijing in her belly, so how can anyone else care about her?

Looking at Zhen Hua, Concubine Beijing's eyes flashed with an inexplicable color. She knew that Zhen Hua had an intention, and she just wanted to keep the title of Duke Ningguo.

Concubine Beijing expressed her understanding of this. It was because she had committed herself to the monkey that she had been treated badly. Now that it was about her own child, why couldn't she make plans for it.

If it were her, she would definitely have to plan something, it's human nature.

Hey, this monkey that deserves to spit, let me wipe its ass. If I can't control it anymore, I have to poke it.

Of course, this is just Concubine Beijing losing her temper. If she really pouts, Prince Beijing's palace will lose its roots, but I can't help but feel sorry for her.

Thinking of this, Princess Beijing gently stroked Zhen Hua's head, with a stern look in her eyes, and said quietly: "The old picker makes mistakes, he is free to bear them, I will go to the palace to report them." Qing, try to keep the title of Duke Ning."

That old man Jia Zhen dares to miss her daughter-in-law and will never be forgiven. He can't escape the influence of this matter. He has to bear it all by himself. The title of Duke Ningguo must be protected.

After all, this is her eldest grandson, and he cannot be wronged.

When Zhen Hua heard this, her clear eyes shone brightly. She knew that Concubine Beijing attached great importance to her children. As long as she mentioned it a little bit, she would definitely make a contribution to this matter.

Moreover, she specifically mentioned that Jia Zhen, the old picker, was thinking about her, just to make things worse for Concubine Beijing. Once the old guy was gone, Ning Guogong's mansion would be in their pocket.

Zhen Hua turned from crying into joy and smiled, raised her eyes to look at Concubine Beijing, and said softly: "Thank you, aunt."

Princess Beijing chuckled lightly, with a warm look on her face, and said softly: "Okay, don't worry about this. Your health is important, but if there is anything you want to eat, I will ask the kitchen to cook it for you."

Zhen Hua smiled slightly when she heard this, and couldn't help but feel proud. Look, with this belly, she is the only one in the Beijing Palace.

Imperial City, inside Xinuan Pavilion.

Emperor Yongkang was dressed in an apricot-yellow robe. He was leaning on the sofa with an indifferent expression, holding an imperial pen and concentrating on reviewing the memorial.

Suddenly, Emperor Yongkang noticed the sound of footsteps coming from outside the palace, and frowned slightly. Just when he was about to scold him, he saw the luxurious old concubine walking in, and he suddenly understood.

This is to be a lobbyist.

The Qian Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety, and as an emperor, he should set an example, so he stood up and said, "Why is the emperor's grandmother here?"

The old concubine looked at Emperor Yongkang kindly and said softly: "The Ai family came uninvited and disturbed the emperor's review of the memorial."

Emperor Yongkang came forward and helped the old concubine to sit down, and said with a smile: "Some trivial matters are not worth taking seriously, but you can just send someone to inform the imperial grandmother. I go to pay my respects to the imperial grandmother, why bother to trouble the imperial grandmother to go there."

The old concubine smiled, with a glimmer of light in her turbid eyes, and said, "The Ai family came here because they heard that Jia Zhen of Duke Ning's mansion had embezzled the food for the relief. Is there such a thing?"

Emperor Yongkang nodded and said, "It is true."

The old concubine looked at Emperor Yongkang's expression and saw that his face was indifferent. She couldn't figure out what Emperor Yongkang meant. She pondered and asked, "How does the emperor plan to deal with it?"

Emperor Yongkang did not answer. He took out a report from several cases and handed it to the old concubine. He said: "This is an urgent report sent by Xiaoliu from Jinling. The imperial grandmother please read it."

The old concubine frowned when she heard this, and she had some doubts in her heart. We were talking about Duke Ning's mansion, why did Xiao Liu suddenly get involved?
Staring at the report in Emperor Yongkang's hand, the old concubine took it and looked at it. After a while, her face turned pale. The matter of daring to love was still a memorial, and the matter of greed for ink actually involved the Zhen family (end of chapter)
