Red Mansion: Bastards rule the roost

Empress Chen said calmly: "Sister, get up, this matter has nothing to do with you after all. If my brother is just rude with his words, for the sake of my sister and for his military exploits, how can I criticize him harshly? It's just... this This matter involves the honor of my daughter’s family, how can I ignore it?”

Yuanchun almost fainted, the honor of his daughter's family? Could it be that... Brother Cong took Princess Ruyi... Tian...

For a moment, she thought of the most terrifying possibility. Jia Cong secretly deceived Princess Hongwan? With his lustful temper, this was something he couldn't keep.

"Empress..." Yuan Chun's voice was dry, and he didn't dare to look into the Queen's majestic eyes.

Queen Chen said: "It's not as serious as you think. My sister will understand after reading this poem."

Yuan Chun tremblingly took the paper and read it carefully. He had already guessed something in his mind. Tears were about to come down. He said with a bitter face: "Mother, this...is this written by Brother Cong?"

Empress Chen smiled lightly and said, "Except for your younger brother, who else in the world has such literary talents?"

Yuan Chun smiled bitterly, seeing that the handwriting on the paper was indeed Jia Cong's, but he was no longer so panicked. Fortunately, it was just a love poem to convey feelings, and nothing irreversible happened.

He said hurriedly: "I have failed to discipline you properly, please punish me."

Empress Chen said: "Jia Cong is not young anymore. He cannot let his sister take care of everything for him. Since this matter started because of him, it must be settled by him."

"What the empress said is absolutely true, but please give me your orders, and I will obey them all." Yuan Chun said.

The Queen said: "Sister, this boy Jia Cong wrote such a poem to Ruyi. If it is spread in the future, where will Ruyi's reputation be?"

Yuanchun nodded hurriedly. This poem had a great impact on her daughter's family. If it spreads, it will definitely become popular all over the world in ten days. Even if Princess Ruyi's reputation is ruined in Jia Cong's hands, the Tian family will definitely be ruthless for the sake of dignity. Punish the Jia family severely.

"So for the current plan, I thought it would be better to go with the flow and make a wishful promise to Jia Cong. As for Xue and Lin, thinking of my brother and their friendship, I gave them as equal wives. What do you think, sister?" Chen Queen said.

Yuanchun was overjoyed. Instead of being punished, he got Princess Ruyi as his wife. The deal was a huge profit. He hurriedly said, "I thank you for your kindness. This is a great thing. I'll do it for brother Cong." Got off."

Empress Chen smiled faintly and said, "Your brother will be here soon. Just talk to him."

"Yes."

When Princess Ruyi heard the talk about her marriage, she could no longer sit still. Her face turned red with embarrassment, and she hurriedly fled to a side hall to hide, waiting for her enemy to take the bait.

While talking, Jia Cong arrived.

"Your Majesty, Jia Cong, pays my respects to the Queen." Jia Cong went in and bowed down, and when he saw Yuan Chun was there, he said, "I give my eldest sister, my regards."

Yuan Chun was scared to death by him just now, so he rolled his eyes at him and ignored him.

Queen Chen raised her hand slightly and said: "No courtesy."

"Thank you, empress." When Jia Cong saw that Yuanchun's attitude was wrong, he secretly thought that something was wrong. His mind was running wildly and he couldn't remember where he had offended the empress.

Queen Chen said: "Uncle Dang Kou, I have known for a long time that your poetry is the best in the world. I have nothing else to do with you today. I just want to discuss poetry with you."

Jia Cong observed the words and expressions, and when he saw the queen's expression was not kind, he hurriedly laughed and said: "How dare I show off my meager skills in front of the most talented woman in the world? Isn't this just a trick? If the empress has any advice, Cong will listen attentively, and I will never dare to compete with her." The queen discusses poetry."

Empress Chen smiled slightly, looked at Yuan Chun and said: "Sister, look at this boy's mouth as if it has been smeared with honey. He has deceived so many girls."

Yuan Chun smiled awkwardly: "Brother Cong's frivolous words are probably due to his lax upbringing, which made the empress laugh."

Empress Chen smiled and said: "It's not that you are frivolous, it's just that you are a little too smart."

Jia Cong touched his nose. You are the queen, so you can't say whatever you want. Women are troublesome, and they will fall out whenever they want.

"I am scared, please punish me." Under the eaves, I have no choice but to submit.

"That's all, am I such a stingy person?" Empress Chen smiled lightly, "I invite you to appreciate a good poem today."

Jia Cong was confused and took a piece of crumpled paper from the palace maid's hand. He only glanced at it and his hand trembled, almost not holding it.

It was the poem I wrote to Princess Ruyi back then! Why did it fall into the hands of the queen? It's all over.

Jia Cong was shocked, and he instantly understood what Dai Quan meant by telling him to take care of himself. This thief had received so much money from me, yet he didn't know about such a big event in advance.

"What do you think of this poem?" Queen Chen looked at him with a half-smile.

Jia Cong felt bitter in his heart and said bravely: "This poem is sincere and I guess the author has no evil intentions." Although he knew it was about to end, he still wanted to save it.

Queen Chen snorted coldly and said, "Read it."

"Yes." Jia Cong said with a bitter face and hesitantly:

Dielianhua·Gift to Princess Ruyi

Standing in a dangerous building, the breeze is gentle. Looking forward to the extremely sad spring, gloomy... the sky is born. The grass is dimly illuminated by smoke. Who would be speechless... by Lanyi.

I plan to get drunk on the madness. Singing to wine, strong music is still tasteless. The belt... gradually gets wider... and I will never regret it. Because Yi... disappears... people are haggard.

A wonderful love poem was recited by him so tremblingly, but there was no trace of lingering and pathos in it, which made people want to laugh.

"What a man who never regrets when his clothes become wider and wider, what a man who makes people haggard because of Yi's disappearance! Jia Cong, you wrote a good poem." Empress Chen said coldly.

Jia Cong simply knelt down with a plop and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, this poem is indeed written by Cong, but Cong does not mean the slightest bit of blasphemy. I hope your Majesty will learn from it."

Empress Chen muttered: "Then what do you mean by this poem? Say it in front of me and your eldest sister. See if we can misunderstand your meaning."

Yuan Chun said angrily: "Brother Cong, you still dare to quibble in front of the Queen and still refuse to admit your guilt."

Jia Cong looked at Xue Tao's note in his hand, opened his mouth, and said with a wry smile: "Cong pleads guilty to the law. This poem was written by Cong in a moment of obsession. I beg the empress for mercy and forgiveness." Empress Chen said: "Just accept your account and get up. Look. You are greedy for life and afraid of death, you don't look like a general."

Jia Cong hurriedly got up and said with a smile: "My mother-in-law is respectful to the world. She is holy and kind. Cong is sincerely convinced and willing to bow her head and plead guilty."

Empress Chen smiled slightly: "Stop talking to me, let's talk about it. What should we do about this matter?"

What do you mean? Jia Cong was stunned: "What does the empress mean?"

Yuan Chun hated Tie Bu Cheng Gang and glared at him, saying: "If your frivolous and frivolous poems are spread, how will the princess' face be saved?"

Jia Cong rolled his eyes and said: "The empress and eldest sister will naturally not tell anyone about this matter, and Her Royal Highness the Princess will not tell anyone. Cong promises to keep it secret and would rather die than tell anyone. No one will know her name." The integrity is naturally intact.”

Empress Chen sneered and said: "Is this your method? If you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing yourself. What if it gets spread out? Can you and the Jia family afford Ruyi's reputation and the dignity of the Tian family?"

Yuan Chun hurriedly bowed down and apologized: "My queen, please calm down. Brother Cong didn't mean this."

Jia Cong had no choice but to bow down and apologize.

Empress Chen said: "Sister, get up. You are not the one who made the mistake. How can I express my anger at others?"

"Thank you, empress."

Yuan Chun turned to look at Jia Cong and cursed in a low voice: "You bastard, you are usually smart, but why are you so stupid now? Why don't you ask to marry the princess? Isn't this the best of both worlds?"

Jia Cong was stunned and frowned slightly, what about Sister Bao?

Yuan Chun saw what he was thinking and whispered: "Don't you ask the empress again to give Xue and Lin two equal wives with you? Why are you so stupid?"

If the marriage goes as he wishes, Jia Cong will not object. There are few beauties of this level in the world, and Jia Cong has always appreciated her straightforward nature and is grateful for her kindness.

It's just that Baochai is his official wife and has made promises to her many times. Jia Cong can't do such a treacherous thing anyway.

There was no way that Princess Ruyi would be his equal wife, so Jia Cong said nothing but slowly shook his head with a firm look on his face.

Yuan Chun felt a chill in his heart and his eyesight went dark. He was so angry that he almost vomited blood due to Jia Cong's stubborn temper of "preferring death to surrender". Princess Ruyi came to your door to be your wife, but you didn't want her? How can Baochai compare with her? One sky, one earth, one gold, one jade, one earth and stone.

Queen Chen'e frowned slightly and said calmly: "What does Dang Koubo mean by not saying a word?"

Jia Cong secretly said that fortunately I was still prepared, and said hurriedly: "I have some evil intentions, so I must report to the empress alone."

Queen Chen glanced at him, waved her hands, and everyone retreated.

"Say it."

Jia Cong whispered: "Your Majesty, when I go to the south of the Yangtze River, I secretly found out that the Fei family in Huai'an colluded with the pirates and water bandits to instigate riots and plunder the place in order to resist the new law. This is irrefutable evidence.

Because the matter involves the eldest prince's mother's family, I dare not make any move, so I just pretend not to know. Yesterday I reported this matter to the Holy One in secret, and I think Concubine Shun will know about it in the next two days. "

Queen Chen's eyes flashed, she looked at Jia Cong seriously, and said with a smile: "You have considered this matter carefully, it is not easy, and it is difficult for you. But what does it have to do with what happened just now?"

"what……"

Jia Cong was completely confused. Can't you see that this is a deal?

You spare me once, and I help you once. It's fair and reasonable, and you don't bully others. What are you doing? Bullying honest people? Someone cares and no one cares?

Seeing his stupid look, Queen Chen also wanted to laugh. She suppressed her laughter and said, "I promised Ruyi to you. Could it be that I have humiliated you?"

This kid is smart and has rare talents, so he must be caught.

Jia Cong smiled bitterly: "My queen loves me so much that Cong will never repay her with death. But Cong and Sister Bao have already made a promise to marry each other and swear to marry her as their first wife. I don't dare to be ungrateful. We are really destined to be different from each other. I hope my queen will forgive me."

Cong is extremely loyal to his empress and hopes that her empress will learn from it. " Little did he know that what he had just done was self-defeating, which made Empress Chen even more determined to recruit him as her consort.

"Have you thought about it, how does the daughter of the Xue family compare with Ruyi? Let her be an equal wife, and it won't be an insult to her." Queen Chen said.

"I married Mrs. Xue only for love and nothing else. Please be kind to me," Jia Cong said decisively.

"In that case, go ahead." Empress Chen waved her hand.

"I beg you to leave." Jia Cong said goodbye and left.

As soon as Jia Cong left, Ruyi couldn't help but run out of the side hall. She didn't care about being shy. She took the queen's hand and whispered: "Mother, he... what did he say?"

Empress Chen pulled her to sit down and said with a smile: "Don't worry, my son. Although Jia Cong has not agreed, the queen mother has her own way to make him agree."

Ruyi was about to cry and said: "Mother, does Jia Cong hate me?"

Empress Chen sneered: "Silly girl, what man would hate someone like you? Let alone that lecherous brat."

Ruyi pouted her lips and said, "But if the queen mother forces him to agree, he will definitely hold a grudge. What will he do in the future? In this case, Ruyi would rather not do it."

Empress Chen smiled and said: "You can think of it, how can the Queen Mother not think of it? Just keep your heart in your belly, and the Queen Mother will keep him coming and begging to marry you, how about that?"

Ruyi smiled through her tears, hugged Empress Chen, and said coquettishly: "I know that my mother is the best."

Queen Chen smiled slightly, "You want to fight me?" You are still a little green! (End of chapter)
