Chapter 5
In the main room of Tingyu Pavilion, Jia Sanniang washed herself briefly. Just before she was about to take a rest, she remembered something and asked casually, "Mo Xiang, where is the dog that my eldest sister gave me."
"Girl, your dog is staying in the kennel prepared for it right now." The eldest maid Mo Xiang asked with a smile: "Girl, you have to go and take a look for yourself."
"Go and have a look." Jia Sanniang replied with interest.
The main house of Tingyu Pavilion has three main rooms and two side rooms. The main room is separated by screens, which serve as a flower hall for entertaining guests, a sleeping room in the east, and a study in the west.
The dormitory on the east side is split into two halves, each with its own use. The front is a real sleeping room, and the back is made into a dressing room.
The study in the west room is also split in two, each with its own arrangement. In the front is a study room for practicing calligraphy and painting, and in the back is a small warehouse for Jia Sanniang's various collections.
There is a side room on each side of the three main rooms. One room is used as a bathroom and other areas for cleaning and washing. A small stove is placed in the other room, used to make tea or warm meals from the kitchen in winter. Although the small stove in the ear room is small, it is easy to use.
As for the maids in Tingyu Pavilion, they all live in the Baoxia behind Tingyu Pavilion.
The night breeze was a bit chilly, and Mo Xiang held a lantern and walked beside Jia Sanniang.
Outside the corridor, Jia Sanniang reflected the light of the lantern and saw a small wooden house among a cluster of flowers in the corner of the east bedroom.
"Girl, this is the kennel." Mo Xiang pointed to the location of the kennel for Jia Sanniang.
At this time, Jia Sanniang had already seen the kennel, because Jingba was a small one. The kennel is not particularly large.
On a spring day, in the night breeze, a small kennel is delicate and compact, showing quite a lot of interest.
"So beautiful." Jia Sanniang praised.
"It's his ability that makes the girl praise him for his work." Mo Xiang echoed with a smile.
"It's indeed pretty. I like it." Jia Sanniang took two more steps forward.
"Woof..." A little puppy barked.
The small door curtain of the kennel was pushed open, and a snow-white little guy came out of it. It is so small that it is very eye-catching at night.
"Woo." When it saw Jia Sanniang, it whined softly again.
"It's so cute." Jia Sanniang couldn't help but open the tag on the dog and take another look.
On the label of Li Heng, the son of Da Xia, his state has not yet awakened.
By some strange coincidence, Jia Sanniang reached out and stroked the dog's body. The furry little body felt so comfortable. After doing it, you will feel relaxed.
"Woo." The dog also barked twice happily. It was obvious that it liked the comfort from its owner.
"Little guy, I'll give you a name. I'll call you Fubao from now on." Jia Sanniang thought that calling a dog would never work.
So she gave the little Jingba in front of her a formal name.
Fu Bao, Fu Bao, you are blessed with treasures on your body.
What a perfect name for a dog. At least that's what Jia Sanniang thinks.
"Fu Bao was named by the girl. He is a good-luck dog." Mo Xiang hurriedly replied from the side.
"Hahaha." Jia Sanniang laughed a few times, thinking that maybe this little Pekingese was really lucky. After all, not every dog's neighbor is the emperor.
After thinking about this incident in her mind, Jia Sanniang could not find a better way to solve the trouble for a while. But Jia Sanniang is not particularly worried about anything.
Jia Sanniang was born in the palace of Sui Guogong, and her biological father was Sui Guogong. This is where her confidence lies. The main thing is just two words, rely on dad.
Finally Jia Sanniang made up her mind. Until one day Fu Bao's neighbor, Da Xiazi, woke up and took Fu Bao away. Or the other party has been in standby mode without waking up. Jia Sanniang didn't have to worry about anything, she just took it seriously as just raising a little Pekingese.
"Be good." Jia Sanniang reached out and stroked Fu Bao a few more times. When Fu Bao made a grunting sound, she gently smoothed Fu Bao's fur.
After playing with Fu Bao like this for a while, Jia Sanniang said to Mo Xiang beside her, "Remind me tomorrow that when you have to feed Fu Bao every day, I will feed the little guy myself."
"Don't worry, girl, I've taken note of this." Mo Xiang hurriedly responded.
After Jia Sanniang stroked Fu Bao again, she sent the little guy back to the kennel.
Jia Sanniang was in a good mood at this time, and she returned to the house with a relaxed mood.
The next day.
Jia Sanniang woke up early, washed herself briefly, and changed into a mood-setting turquoise skirt. The skirt was embroidered with waves of dark patterns, and there were vaguely blooming flowers held by silver threads. As you walk, you can see the beauty of spring flowers blooming.
When combing her hair into a bun, Jia Sanniang is also combing her hair into a lily-parted bun that is loved by her daughters.
Wearing a velvet flower on her hairpin, wearing a walking stick, and looking at the image in the mirror, Jia Sanniang felt herself radiant.
"..." Covering her mouth and smiling, Jia Sanniang thought to herself that her mood at the moment was like a narcissus, very narcissistic.
It's still early, even if I have to go to Ning'an Hall to pay my respects. Jia Sanniang also drank a small bowl of milk, and then used a small snack to simply pad her belly.
Before deciding to go out, Jia Sanniang also placed two bowls in front of Fu Bao's kennel. One holds water and the other holds the dog’s food.
"Woof." Fu Bao ran out of the kennel on his little short legs. Before eating, he circled Jia Sanniang twice and barked several times.
After the little Fubao was having fun, he went to eat his first meal of the day.
Jia Sanniang looked at Fu Bao's simple joy, and for a moment the curve of her lips slightly rose by two points.
"Auspicious, auspicious."
When Jia Sanniang was feeding the little guy Fu Bao, the sound of a silly bird came from the east wing next door.
Jia Sanniang looked up and saw her second cousin already standing there feeding the parrot under the corridor of the east wing.
Jia Sanniang and her second cousin looked at each other from a distance. Jia Sanniang gave a blessing and Jia Erniang returned the favor.
West wing.
Jia Liu Niang came out at this time, she was as happy as a lark, and she said: "Second sister, third sister, let's go to pay our respects to our grandmother."
Jia Erniang fed the birds, but she had no intention of refusing. Jia Sanniang walked out of the bluestone path in front of the main house, waved to Sixth Sister in the courtyard, and said, "Don't waste time, Sixth Sister, let's go to Ning'an Hall together."
"Second sister, let's go together." Jia Sanniang extended an invitation to her second cousin again.
Jia Liu Niang trotted towards the third sister happily, and she took the third sister's hand.
"Yes." Jia Erniang responded softly.
The whole family of sisters lived in the same courtyard, so of course they had to go together to pay their respects to my grandmother. Everyone goes their own way, once it is seen by others, it will be a mistake. Jia Erniang had just been released from confinement, and she didn't want to be locked up again.
The three sisters went to Ning'an Hall.
In the garden of Ning'an Hall, the three sisters met the eldest sister Yuanniang.
"Eldest sister." Jia Sanniang and the others bowed to the eldest sister Yuan Niangfu. Yuan Niang returned the favor.
Before entering Ning'an Hall, Jia Sanniang followed her last thought and activated her golden finger to see what the label on her eldest sister Yuan Niang was.
Name: Jia Yuanniang
Gender: Female
Birthday: Born on the Dragon Boat Festival in the eighth year of the Zhizheng Period
Age: 32 years old (currently 17 years old?)
Position: Queen of Daxia
Honor: During Hongwu's reign, his mother honored the world.
Note: This is a reborn empress of the middle palace
Jia Sanniang felt a little numb after seeing the label of her eldest sister Yuan Niang, especially the word "rebirth" in red. She saw that there was an ellipsis after the note, and after thinking about it, she gently clicked on it with her mind.
In the fifteenth year of Hongwu's reign, she was canonized as a noble concubine.
In the 20th year of Hongwu's reign, Jin Feng succeeded him.
Hongwu died in his 30th year.
Three simple lines of small characters describe the seemingly extraordinary life of the eldest sister Yuan Niang.
From the canonization of a noble concubine to the title of successor in Jin Dynasty, and then to the death, everything is wrong. Jia Sanniang can think of tens of thousands of words at this moment.
"My granddaughter wishes my grandmother good luck. May my grandma be blessed."
When Jia Sanniang paid her respects to her grandmother Li, she was still thinking about the "new identity" of her eldest sister Yuan Niang, who was the reborn empress of the palace.
Princess Long'an is an elderly person who doesn't sleep much at night. What I love most now is the fun and fun of my grandchildren.
At this time, everyone came to pay their respects. Princess Longan said: "Mo Duoli, please take a seat."
After Jia Sanniang and the sisters sat down, Yuan Niang first paid attention to her grandmother.
After that, Yuan Niang's eyes fell on Jia Sanniang. Yuan Niang asked with a smile and said: "There is something wrong with my clothes today. Third sister, you have been staring at me from outside the house. You have to tell me about this."
Yuan Niang's teasing and joking tone was just a joke between sisters. Listening to the eldest sister's question, Jia Liu Niang covered her mouth and snickered.
Jia Erniang also glanced at her third cousin, with a faint smile on her face.
"The eldest sister has different clothes and hairpins today. She usually wears brocade clothes and some emerald pearls, just like the fairy daughter in the sky. Today, the color on the eldest sister's body is a little brighter, as usual. In terms of comparison, the eldest sister in the past was like a beautiful peony flower, while the eldest sister today is more like a light and fragrant jasmine flower. There is a huge difference between the two. I couldn't help but take a few more glances." Jia Sanniang found an excuse in her clothes and hand ornaments to cover up some small movements when her golden finger was activated.
"I just noticed it when Sanniang mentioned it. Yuanniang, you are really dressed differently today." Princess Long'an also glanced at her eldest granddaughter and asked, "Do you have anything to say?"
"Grandma, my granddaughter just wanted to change her clothes and change her mood. She looks the same every day, but she doesn't think there's anything new." Yuan Niang replied with a smile.
"I didn't expect you to be naughty with your temperament." Princess Long'an couldn't help but laugh after hearing the answer.
Princess Long'an smiled, and everyone in the room laughed with her.
Yuan Niang also concealed her smile. At this moment, she lowered her eyes, and all kinds of thoughts were swirling in her heart.
Jia Yuanniang was thinking about her past and present lives, and she actually lived two lives.
In her previous life, she lived to be thirty-two years old. Jia Yuanniang did not survive Emperor Hongwu and did not survive to become the Empress Dowager. However, she also secured her position as the Empress of the Middle Palace and witnessed Emperor Hongwu's hegemony of destroying the Four Kingdoms.
Thinking that the emperor would unify the Central Plains and make great achievements. She felt happy in her heart. While she was happy for the emperor, she also thought about the legend that Emperor Hongwu left behind in ancient history, and her record was indispensable.
From imperial concubine to successor, Jia Yuanniang had many difficulties along the way. She just wanted to leave a good reputation as a virtuous queen to future generations.
It's a pity that the coffin has been finalized, and Jia Yuanniang doesn't know what the result will be. She can only vaguely guess that it should be able to fulfill her own wish.
What is the real regret? Jia Yuanniang certainly has something missing.
For Sixth Palace Fendai, no one can monopolize Emperor Hongwu’s heart. In the eyes of the emperor, only the inheritance of the ancestors, the country and the country are the only things. Beauty is just a small embellishment, not worth mentioning. In Emperor Hongwu's harem, the empress dowager of the two palaces was the real master above the concubines.
Jia Yuanniang played a game between the two empress dowagers. She got the position of successor, but she also lost the opportunity to be a mother.
Ask Jia Yuanniang where her heart was in her last life? The only thought in her mind was that she wanted to have a child of her own.
The Zhaoyang Palace where the Empress of the Middle Palace lived was so big that Jia Yuanniang had tasted the taste of loneliness in her last life.
In her past and present lives, Jia Yuanniang now wants to live a little like a living person. She wanted to get a touch of the smoke and smoke of the world of mortals.
Thinking of the knot left in her previous life, Jia Yuanniang felt that she was almost crazy at that time.
At that time, Empress Jia really wanted to have an heir, Chenghuan, under her knees, even if she could just listen to the child's commotion. Every time I think about it in the dead of night, I always feel that if it comes true, my heart will be filled with love, filled with the sweetness of joy, happiness, and so on.
"Sister." The sixth girl's call interrupted the complex thoughts in Jia Yuanniang's mind.
"Sixth sister, what's wrong?" Jia Yuanniang asked gently.
In the short moment in her heart, Jia Yuanniang once again repeated her decision not to be a clay puppet in this life, but to change her way of life.
