PS: The end of the previous chapter was revised.
Brother Rong's head finally regained some clarity, and he suddenly remembered what the emperor had just said. After thinking about it for a moment, I could only sigh quietly. The emperor wanted to control Mobei, which would not be easy.
To put it nicely, he and the fourth princess were just pawns sent by the emperor, another pathfinder after the eldest princess.
Brother Rong had to go and do what the emperor ordered. This is also another test for him by the emperor, another test after the Shuili Yingtian Mansion.
He even had another feeling, a not so good feeling.
For a moment, I thought of the method used by some people in previous lives, which was to let a piece of land fatten up and then cut it. What's more, they dig three feet directly into the ground, not only cutting out the leeks on the ground, but also digging out the soil containing fertilizer.
Brother Rong felt like a leek at this moment, a leek growing on fertile land.
I can't help but wonder, will the emperor know what he did in Heishan Village?
People who have secret thoughts are afraid of being exposed and leaked. No one is exempt, and Brother Rong is the same.
After all, he had other plans and left other paths for himself. He laughed at himself in his heart: Uncle Rong couldn't bear to see others suffer, and Lord Rong couldn't bear to see the common people suffer.
I have all kinds of worries in my heart that I am afraid to do anything. Because he cannot foresee what kind of impact he will have, whether the society will get better or the people's lives will become more difficult.
It is even more unforeseen what impact capital and communism will have on the people of this land during this period, and what consequences it will lead to.
The once exciting passion has long since dissipated. The people of Dayan are not the guinea pigs for his experiments. Therefore, he could only prepare in secret and wait for an opportunity to guide.
"Sir, please come this way."
Brother Rong was thoughtfully led into a palace courtyard. When he raised his head, he saw a red building with gold tiles and green eaves and flowers. I heard the eunuch next to me say: "Your Majesty, I already know that the Lord has come to pay his respects. She has been waiting in the palace for a long time."
Brother Rong took out a large golden nugget from his body and quietly put it into the hand of the leading eunuch. "Thank you so much for my father-in-law today. I will have to worry about my father-in-law taking care of me in the future."
"No trouble, no trouble." The eunuch was used to it, and he naturally put the golden nugget in his arms into his arms. He reminded softly: "Your Majesty, please go in quickly. Don't make your wife wait too long. Time is limited, and your Majesty cannot stay here too long, lest you break the rules."
"Don't worry, don't worry, don't bother me."
Under normal circumstances, it is extremely difficult for even relatives from the mother's family to see the empress in the palace. Not to mention Brother Rong's adult nephew, who is not even allowed to approach the door here under normal circumstances.
Today, the emperor thought that Brother Rong was about to go to Mobei, so he was particularly gracious and allowed him to come here to see Yuanchun.
Brother Rong followed him to the outside of the palace, and the eunuch came in to call. After a while, there was a call.
Enter the palace.
I saw a screen in the middle.
He is outside and Yuanchun is inside.
The eunuch said something and then left the palace. There were maids and maids standing quietly on the left and right. Brother Rong paid his respects to the queen.
"How is everything at home?" Yuanchun's voice came from behind the screen, and there was no emotion at all.
"As far as I'm concerned, everything is fine at home. It's just that the ladies miss me occasionally, but there are many rules in the palace, so you can't enter unless you're invited." Brother Rong replied casually, his eyes restless as he glanced around the palace.
Looking at the maids and maids next to them, they were as dull as wood, with no color at all on their faces.
The life in the palace is really not for human beings. How can ordinary people endure it? You have to get sick from boredom.
Behind the screen, Yuanchun was stunned, his eyes quietly glistening and moist. He chuckled softly and said: "Zhongqiu will be in a few months, and we can see each other on that day."
Do you think time is measured by the month?
No, it’s based on years. We meet twice a year and rejoice twice a year.
After all, the palace is different from the outside. If you get lonely and bored outside, you can still keep your relatives at home for a few years. The palace was lonely and boring, and I could only count the days until someone from my mother's house would come during the big festival. But he just asked politely and asked polite questions, and he didn't dare to show his sincerity at all.
Brother Rong asked softly: "Is your aunt okay in the palace?"
Yuanchun frowned slightly after hearing this. It's not because of the title of aunt, but because Brother Rong asked if it was okay in the palace. Who in the palace can say a bad word?
"The days are also full." Yuanchun said slowly. She could already see the end of her days in the palace. Especially after the old concubine passed away that day, she knew that her final destination would be Dingtian, the next old concubine.
The old concubine stayed lonely in the palace for decades and protected the Zhen family for decades. The prosperity and peace of the Zhen family over the years were earned by the old concubine at the cost of her own loneliness.
Yuanchun thought quietly that if she exchanged her loneliness for the Jia family's decades of peace and prosperity, it would... be worth it.
Two curves of clear tears slid down silently from her dignified and Zhouzheng face, along the graceful and bright face and delicate jawline, and the clear tears dripped from her chin onto her heavily made-up clothes.
The tears just touched the azure palace dress, and it was like a ginseng fruit falling to the ground, leaving no trace.
If her long and curved eyelashes hadn't been moist, no one would have been able to prove that Yuanchun had shed tears just now, let alone the sadness in her heart.
However, Yuanchun was afraid that his poor and lonely life would not bring peace to the Jia family. Especially when I heard about Brother Rong's attack a few days ago, I felt even sadder and colder.
I feel sad because the Jia family sent me to this deep palace, and I feel sad because I can't help the Jia family in the deep palace. This ruthless palace has locked the bodies of so many women and imprisoned so many daughters with their myriad thoughts.
If he had not entered the palace, the child under his knees should be the same size as Lange'er.
Seeing the empress being like this, the close-fitting Bao Qin had already prepared handkerchiefs and came over. Silently wiping away his tears, he took a few breaths, regained his smile and said, "I heard that the brother your wife adopted was arrested at the age of one?"
Brother Rong, who was outside the screen, slightly noticed that Yuanchun's tone was wrong, and replied slowly: "I grabbed the books. But my nephew forgot to send a message to the palace, and I asked my aunt to forgive me."
A pair of thieving eyes wanted to peek in through the gap in the screen.
The maid next to him stared at him closely, but did not dare to say anything, but her eyes moved anxiously.
Yuanchun didn't know what was going on outside, so he just chuckled and said, "I heard from people in the palace that Princess Zhongshun gave your brother a lot of books. But I don't have much collection here. I'll let the girl pick out some piano scores later. Go back. Don’t just focus on studying. You must also take care of music, chess, calligraphy and painting."
"Thank you, aunt, for your love."
Brother Rong, who was so daring, finally saw Yuan Chun behind him through the gap in the screen. I saw the queen in full dress sitting upright in the back, with a forced smile on her face, and sadness hidden under her arched eyebrows.
Ting Yuanchun said with concern: "My eldest brother Zhu's son, I heard that he is already preparing for the child examination."
"I was supposed to take the exam this year, but the old uncle of the Li family asked Brother Lan to postpone it for a year and then take the exam next year when he is ready." Brother Rong followed the cracks and looked at Yuanchun inside with concern. Yuanchun had no intention of catching him who was not behaving well.
The empress did not blame her, but sighed: "I have heard a lot about Brother Rong's actions over the years. Fortunately, you have appeared in the two houses... You have to take care of yourself all the way to Mobei, and the two houses have to take care of yourself." It’s up to you to hold on.”
"Nephew, remember this."
The two exchanged some more clichés, and Yuanchun gave him a reward, then asked Baoqin to take Brother Rong out of the palace.
As soon as they walked out of the door, Brother Rong frowned and asked, "How is your life in the palace?"
Baoqin was a maid sent by the Jia family to the palace to serve Yuanchun. From the corner of her eye, she saw no one around, and then she whispered back. "The middle hall of the palace is small and everything is complicated. I am afraid that my wife is homesick after seeing the uncle today."
"Don't be careless. I just want to ask you, is the empress favored in the palace? Can anyone oppress her?"
He hugged Qin and talked to Zuo about him. "The empress only met Long Live once in the first month of this year."
This...how to say it. Brother Rong didn't know whether it was good or bad, and he didn't know what Yuanchun was thinking. I can only ask again: "What I'm asking is, how is the empress doing in the harem? Can she be bullied? Although the Jia family is not big, the people of the Jia family cannot be bullied."
He now has some confidence to say this.
Although many things were not stated explicitly in today's conversation with the emperor, they were almost made explicit.
Although Rong Ge'er still doesn't understand what the royal family sees as heavenly beings, he already knows that the emperor wants to use his heavenly beings' name and knowledge to achieve virtuous and hegemonic martial arts.
Accordingly, the royal family also wants to provide benefits to the Jia family. Naturally, the women of the Jia family cannot be allowed to suffer in the palace.
Baoqin said: "The Queen is working beside the Queen, and there are a few people who dare to get into trouble."
Then why did Yuanchun cry?
He must not like life in the palace.
"Although the Jia family is not very rich, if my wife has any shortages in the palace, she will ask people to come to the palace to report it. If you are wronged, please don't tolerate everything. The Jia family may not be able to help, but they can deal with people. I have a solution."
He knew that what he could do to help Yuanchun was very limited, and he didn't talk big. Now all we can do is try to make Yuanchun live as comfortably as possible in the palace.
It would be great if these outdated rules could be abolished.
The sudden thought shocked Brother Rong himself.
Then I thought about it. Secret passage: The daughters of peasants are imprisoned in the fields, imprisoned in survival and having children; the daughters of small families are imprisoned in the boudoir, imprisoned by their husbands and godchildren; the daughters of middle-class families are imprisoned in deep houses, imprisoned in dignity and style; the daughters in the palace are imprisoned. Daughter, imprisoned in the palace, imprisoned in breathless rules.
All living beings suffer, farmers suffer the most.
But thinking that Yuanchun and I are relatives, I feel more sympathy for Yuanchun inexplicably.
I was hiding my dissatisfaction.
With no choice but to take care of things in the palace. He gave away all the silver and gold he had with him, just hoping that Yuanchun would be able to live cheaply and smoothly in the palace.
After he left, Baoqin explained what Brother Rong had just done.
Yuanchun cried silently, finally feeling a hint of warmth. This feeling has not been felt for a long time, and it seems so precious at this moment.
"Brother-in-law."
The sudden sound frightened Brother Rong out of his mind. Looking up, I saw a 28-year-old girl in palace attire standing at the end of the deep wall.
Brother Rong didn't respond yet, but the eunuch next to him hurriedly pulled him to salute.
"Get up quickly, who wants you to pull your brother-in-law to salute you?" Her Royal Highness the Fourth Princess scolded the eunuch next to her with a face. "You go and stand guard outside the door while I talk to my brother-in-law."

"Your Highness..." The prisoner wanted to cry but had no tears. He knew very well how the fourth princess was favored in the palace, and he also knew that the princess was about to marry far away, and he also knew that it was against the rules for the princess to meet a foreign man. I didn't know what to do for a moment, so I looked eagerly at the nanny behind the princess.
Seeing the grandma nodding, the inner prisoner breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly walked through the door.
"Your Highness." Uncle Rong was also embarrassed. The princess can be arrogant, but he can't be disrespectful. After watching the inner prisoner leave, I was already cursing in my heart. The things that were missing below were taken away from me after I collected my money.
"My father called my brother-in-law to the palace because he was going to Mobei." The fourth princess came closer and looked at his appearance, her expression became more and more delighted. Taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the two nuns behind him, he approached Brother Rong and whispered urgently: "Brother-in-law, have you figured out how to help Hui'er?"
Brother Rong took two steps back, fearing that the girl would suddenly attack him in the palace. If those two nuns saw me, I wouldn't be able to escape even if I jumped into the Yellow River.
Hands up respectfully. "Your Highness, don't worry. I will protect your Highness all the way to Mobei."
Looking up again, I saw a smile on the fourth princess's face, her lips slowly parted, but no obvious sound came out. However, looking at the shape of her mouth and the faint breath he heard, he could tell that what the fourth princess said was: "If I want to escape, will my brother-in-law protect me all the way?"
Breaking into a cold sweat.
The Little Girl movie is making things difficult for myself.
Just when she didn't know how to answer, she heard the fourth princess smile and say: "Brother-in-law, you have to keep an eye on me all the way. I heard that there is a custom of marriage robbery in Mobei. Don't let me be kidnapped halfway."
After being stunned for a while, the fourth princess left with the two nuns.
Looking at the empty palace corridor, I felt quite helpless.
"Madam looking for me?"
Uncle Rong had just returned to Ningguo Mansion when Yindie received the news and went to Ping'er's room to find him.
Yindie replied: "Master, go quickly, my wife is really angry today."
Uncle Rong didn't know why. How could You, who was always known for his good temper, suddenly become angry? He glanced at Ping'er helplessly and caressed her round belly reluctantly.
Ping'er said thoughtfully: "If I'm looking for you over there, just go over there and come back tonight."
This girl has also learned how to calculate.
Brother Rong laughed and said, "I'll be with you two later."
Ping'er said coquettishly: "It would be better not to be kidnapped into the room by some grandma again in the evening."
"Ahem...how is that possible?"
He had never thought about the seriousness of Youshi's temper tantrum, and he was still in the mood to joke with Ping'er. After entering Youshi's courtyard, Uncle Rong finally felt a strange atmosphere.
The air pressure is very low and it could rain heavily at any time.
"Madam..." she called with a playful smile.
What provoked this was Youshi's cold stare. Youshi glanced at Yindie, and all the maids in the room were sent out. After another glare, Yindie also pulled Wan'er away and carefully closed the door.
"Madam...this...formation..."
Brother Rong was terrified, and the feeling of low air pressure above his head became more and more obvious.
Youshi stared at him fiercely and asked, "Why did you go to Conglvtang to rest last night? My words didn't work?"
"without……"
You didn't give him a chance to speak, and scolded angrily: "You and Li are fooling around, and I don't care about you. Why are the sisters of the You family spending the night in Conglutang?"
