The Royal Palace, Cining Palace. Emperor Longqing looked at Jia Cong in front of him and really didn't know what to say.
He never thought that Jia Cong, who never let him worry, would actually beat Xia Shouzhong in the palace.
After hearing the whole story from Dai Quan. He couldn't help but secretly scolded Xia Shouzhong that he deserved it.
This bastard dares not to listen to his own will. What does he want? He said to Jia Cong below: "Come on, get up. Since the slave brought this upon himself, it would be a good idea to teach him a lesson so as not to forget the rules. However, you shouldn't act randomly in the palace." , are all like you, are there any rules anymore, and everything is in chaos? A three-month fine as a warning, okay, go home quickly." Jia Cong had already analyzed that Emperor Longqing It's impossible to do anything to yourself.
After hearing this ending, I quickly agreed. I really didn't pay attention to that little salary. By doing this, Emperor Longqing also found a way for himself.
Jia Cong cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your kindness, your majesty. Please retire." Seeing Jia Cong disappear at the entrance of the hall, Emperor Longqing looked at Dai Quan and said, "What on earth is going on? How dare that slave Xia Shouzhong resist the order? Is there something else going on inside?" Dai Quan said: "Reporting to the master, after the servant and Ning Guogong found Xia Shouzhong, they told him about His Majesty's decree. Above the royal family? Ning Guogong became angry when he heard this. The two quarreled for a few words and then started fighting. The slave did not expect such a situation to happen. Fortunately, Xia Shouzhong's life was not in danger, but the beating was a bit harsh. ." Emperor Longqing said: "Do you know who asked Xia Shouzhong to do this?" Dai Quan hesitated, looking a little embarrassed and hesitant to speak.
Emperor Longqing frowned and said, "Tell me, who is it?" Dai Quan then said, "Reporting to the master, it was Concubine Zhou who asked Xia Shouzhong to do this." Emperor Longqing was stunned, not expecting it to be Concubine Zhou, and waved his hand. , sent Dai Quan out.
Empress Zhang had completely seen what it means to be daring this time. She never thought that Jia Cong would dare to beat people in the palace, and she heard that he even knocked people unconscious.
How courageous is this? The key is that His Majesty did not blame him, but only fined him three months' salary.
She could tell that His Majesty was just doing this for show. She didn't expect that Jia Cong's Holy Scroll was so honorable.
She had heard that Jia Cong was called the Little God of Wealth, and he was not short of money at all. Empress Zhang asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, this Ning Guogong is too courageous. He dares to beat people in the palace. He is so lawless. Your Majesty just let him go so gently. Isn't it a bit too indulgent of him?" ?" Emperor Longqing said: "This is the temperament a young general should have. It's normal for young people to get into a fight over a disagreement. If you are so young, if you are too rational, it will make people scared. This kind of thing is nothing The big deal is, Xia Shouzhong, this slave, should be taught a lesson. Jia Cong is quite sensible. If Xia Shouzhong hadn't gone too far, Jia Cong probably wouldn't have taken action." Empress Zhang smiled and said, "Your Majesty is really treating Duke Ning Guo. Too generous." Emperor Longqing smiled and said: "Although Jia Cong is young, he is very good at getting things done, and he is relatively close to me. The key is that he has a heart of loyalty and filial piety. Although he is in a high position, he still treats his family very well. As always, I have no resentment because of the poor treatment I received when I was a child." Queen Zhang nodded, never expecting that His Majesty would have such a high opinion of Jia Cong.
This made her determination to win over Jia Cong even more serious. ······Yuan Chun sat in a gold-topped goose-yellow embroidered phoenix-shaped carriage, walking slowly along with the procession of relatives.
Thinking about what the palace maid quietly told him about what happened in the palace, my heart was filled with emotions.
She never imagined that her cousin could be so domineering and daring that he beat Xia Shouzhong half to death in the palace. I heard he knocked him unconscious.
Even though she was the imperial concubine, she had no right to speak at all, and she could only accept the arrangements in the palace.
Fortunately, I have such a strong and capable younger brother to stand up for me. However, I was still a little worried. First, I was worried that Jia Cong would be punished by His Majesty, and second, I was worried that Xia Shouzhong would cause trouble for himself afterwards.
There are too many women in the palace. If an unpopular concubine has no background, those eunuchs and maids will not take you seriously.
Even if they bully you blatantly, there is nothing you can do about it. There are even more outrageous things than this, and there are many people who die suddenly overnight.
If it weren't for the person His Majesty likes, no one would care about it at all, and his death would be in vain. This also fueled the arrogance of the powerful eunuchs in the palace, allowing them to do whatever they wanted.
If it hadn't been for Brother Cong's intervention this time, he would have been able to go home to visit relatives and reunite with his parents in the evening. I don’t know how Brother Cong is doing now?
While he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves coming from far and near, galloping towards this side, and finally arrived in front of Feng Luan.
Yuanchun looked outside through the window. I saw a handsome young man sitting immediately, it was his cousin Jia Cong.
"Brother Cong, my sister has already heard about what happened in the palace. You are really a bit reckless. His Majesty didn't punish you, right?" Jia Cong smiled and said: "Don't worry, eldest sister, it's nothing serious. It's all that bastard who brought it on himself." Yes, your majesty only fined me three months' salary. This matter is over and it's okay." Yuanchun breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It's okay. When I heard the news, I was shocked and worried about your majesty. I blame you, how are you doing at home recently?" Jia Cong smiled and said: "Everything is fine at home, but the old lady has been looking forward to the eldest sister coming home to reunite. She came out at dawn and waited. I heard the little eunuch said that the eldest sister wanted to We can't set off until Xu time, so I asked her to go back and rest first. Then I went to the palace to ask about the situation." Yuanchun murmured: "My sister has been away from home for more than ten years, and I don't know what the family is like now. "Is there any difference?" Jia Cong said: "The two government palaces are no different from before. They are still the same. They just cleared a space in the north and built the Provincial Family Courtyard. Even the former Huifang Garden was enclosed. Those who came back today Morning, if you have time, you can look around." Yuan Chun said: "Well, I have more time to go home now." Jia Cong did not go back early, but followed Yuan Chun's team and moved forward slowly.
······By the way, Jia Cong’s soldiers quickly returned to Rongguo Mansion. He told Jia She, Jia Zheng and others that Concubine Jia had left.
When several people heard this, they were very happy. Unexpectedly, Jia Cong actually got the job done by taking action. This kid is really quite capable.
Jia She said: "Lian'er, go and inform the old lady and the others that the imperial concubine has left the palace and is rushing home. Ask them to go out to greet the imperial concubine. Let's go to the street and wait." Everyone took their places and waited. moment.
Suddenly I saw about ten eunuchs, all panting and running towards me to clap their hands. These eunuchs understood that the real master was coming, and stood in their respective directions.
Jia She led his nephews and nephews from the He clan outside the West Street gate, and Jia's mother led the girls from the He clan to greet him outside the gate. The scene was quiet and silent.
Suddenly I saw a pair of red eunuchs walking slowly on horseback. They got off their horses at the West Street Gate, drove the horses out of the enclosure, and then stood there with their hands down and facing the west. A moment later, there was another pair, and the same thing happened.
After a short time, about ten couples came, and then they heard the faint sound of drumming. There are pairs of dragon banners and phoenix feathers, pheasant feather palace fans, and gold-pinned stoves burning royal incense, and then a crank-handled seven-phoenix golden umbrella comes over, which is the crown, robe and shoes.
There are also eunuchs on duty holding incense beads, embroidered handkerchiefs, basins, whisks, etc. After passing one by one, eight eunuchs came slowly behind, carrying a gold-topped golden embroidered phoenix.
Jia Mu and others quickly knelt down by the roadside. Several eunuchs rushed over early in the morning and helped Jia Mu, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang.
After carrying the man into the gate, in front of a courtyard to the east, a deacon and eunuch knelt down to ask him to change his clothes. Then the eunuchs dispersed, and only Zhaorong, Caibin, and others led Yuanchun down.
I saw all kinds of lanterns shining brightly in the courtyard, all tied up with gauze and silk, and they were very delicate. There is a plaque on it with the four characters "Ti Ren Mude" written on it. Yuanchun enters the room, comes back after changing clothes, and Shangyu enters the garden.
I saw incense smoke lingering in the garden, colorful flowers, lights everywhere, and music and music all the time. It is impossible to describe this peaceful scene, wealth and romance.
Concubine Jia looked at the scenery inside and outside the garden in the sedan chair, nodded and sighed: "It's too luxurious and expensive." Suddenly she saw the eunuch kneeling down to invite him to board the boat, and Concubine Jia got off the boat.
I saw that the clear stream area was as powerful as a swimming dragon. On both sides of the stone railings, crystal glass wind lanterns of various colors were tied, and the lights were like silver light and snow waves.
The willow, apricot, and apricot trees above have no flowers or leaves, but they use various colors of silk, silk, paper, and grass as flowers, which are glued to the branches. Each tree hangs thousands of lanterns.
Moreover, the lights in the pond are made of lotuses, nymphs, ducks, and herons, all made of snail and clam feathers. They compete for brilliance from above and below, and the water and sky are radiant. It is truly a world of glass and a universe of jewels.
There are also various bonsais on the boat, such as bead curtains, embroidered curtains, osmanthus, orchids, needless to say. The boat arrived at Yishi Port. There was a plaque on the port, which was brightly lit.
"Polygonium Ting Huaxu" four characters. Concubine Jia looked at the four words and said with a smile: "The word 'Huaxu' is just fine, why bother with 'Polygonium Ting'?" The eunuch sitting there listened and hurriedly got out of the boat and landed, flying a message to Jia Zheng. Jia Zheng immediately asked someone to Changed.
At that time, the boat approached the inner shore and went to the boat to board the boat. They saw Lin Gong Chuoyue, Gui Palace, and the stone archway with the words
With the four characters "Heavenly Treasure Realm", Concubine Jia's life changed
Four words: "Provincial Villa". So when I entered the palace, I saw the courtyard surrounded by fire, incense dust covering the ground, fire trees and flowers, golden windows and jade sills, countless curtains curled with shrimp beards, carpets spread with fish and otters, the scent of musk brains floating on the cauldron, and pheasant tails on the screen. fan.
Really: Kinmen Yuhu Immortal Mansion, Guidian Lan Palace Concubine’s Home. Concubine Jia asked, "Why is there no plaque in this hall?" The accompanying eunuch knelt down and said, "This is the main hall, and foreign ministers dare not draw up it." Concubine Jia nodded, walked to the main seat and sat down, two steps up and down. .
The two eunuchs, Yin She and Zheng Zheng, lined up under the platform to go to the palace to see the ceremony. Zhaorong sent an edict saying: "Excuse me." He also invited the Taijun of Rongguo and Nujuan to wait in line from the east steps to the platform to see the ceremony.
Zhaorong said again: "Excuse me." Everyone retreated one after another. After tea was served three times, Concubine Jia sat down, happily stopped, and retreated into a side room to change clothes before preparing to drive out of the garden.
When they arrived at Jia Mu's main room, they wanted to perform family rituals, but Jia Mu and others knelt down to stop her. Concubine Jia wept, and they came forward to see each other, holding Jia Mu in one hand and Mrs. Wang in the other. The three of them had many words in their hearts, but they couldn't say them out, they just sobbed and sobbed.
Mrs. Xing, Li Wan, Wang Xifeng, Yingchun, Tanchun, Xichun, etc. were all crying and speechless. Concubine Jia suppressed her sorrow and forced a smile, and consoled her: "Since you sent me to that place where no one can see anyone, I finally came home today. The ladies didn't talk or laugh at this time, but couldn't cry. After a while, I left, and again I don't know how long it will be before we meet again." After saying this, I couldn't help but choke up again.
Mrs. Xing hurriedly came to persuade Concubine Jia. Mother Jia and others asked Concubine Jia to sit down and saw them one by one, and she couldn't help crying.
Concubine Jia sighed: "There are many relatives, but it's a pity that we can't meet each other." Mrs. Wang said: "Currently, the foreign relatives Xue Wang, Baochai and Daiyu are waiting for orders outside. The foreign relatives have no positions and dare not enter without permission." Concubine Jia immediately invited her to meet her. Aunt Xue and others came in and wanted to perform the national ceremony. Concubine Yuan issued an order to avoid it, so they came forward to say goodbye.
There was also a maid who had been brought into the palace holding a qin and waiting to knock on it. Mother Jia quickly helped her up and ordered her to go into another room to entertain her. The deacons, eunuchs, and concubines Zhaorong and their attendants were entertained by people in Ning Mansion and Jia Shena's house, leaving only three or four young eunuchs who agreed.
Mothers, daughters, and sisters can’t help but talk about long-awaited scenes and personal affairs at home. Mrs. You, Sister Feng and others came up and said, "The banquet is ready, please concubine." Concubine Jia stood up, ordered Baoyu to guide her, and walked with everyone to the garden gate.
I saw all kinds of things listed in the lights early. When I entered the garden, I first followed
"There is a phoenix coming to the ceremony",
"Red fragrant green jade",
"The apricot curtain is in sight",
At places such as "the clear fragrance stops", you can climb the tower, step into the pavilion, wade through the water and edge the mountain, and enjoy endless views. The decorations are gorgeous everywhere, and the decorations are novel.
Concubine Jia praised her very much and advised: "Don't be too extravagant in the future. This is too much." After coming to the main hall, he ordered to sit down without ceremony and had a grand banquet. Jia's mother and others were accompanying her. Li Wan, Sister Feng and others held cups of soup.
The imperial concubine Yuan ordered the pen and inkstone to serve her, brushed the paper personally, and named the one she liked best. Because of the title of the garden, the general name is
"Grand View Garden", the plaque in the main hall reads
"Gu En Si Yi", the couplet goes: Heaven and earth show great mercy, and all the innocent people feel the same sympathy; ancient and modern are honored, and all the nine states are honored.
The title was also changed: "There is a phoenix coming to the ceremony" to give the name
"Xiaoxiang Pavilion".
"Red fragrant green jade" was renamed
"Yi Hong Kuai Green", given the name
"Yihongyuan".
Named "Heng Zhi Qing Fen"
"Hengwuyuan".
"The apricot curtain is in sight" was given the name
"Huange Villa". Zhenglou said
"Daguan Tower", the flying tower in the east is called
"Zhujin Tower", the building on the west side is called
"Hanfang Pavilion", more
"Liaofengxuan",
"Lotus Champs",
"Purple Lingzhou",
"Nymphora" and other names. The plaque has
"Pear Blossom Spring Rain",
"The autumn wind cuts through the tung trees",
"Di Lu Ye Xue" and other names. He also ordered that the old plaque and couplet should not be removed, so he wrote a quatrain: "It takes mountains and rivers to build a building, and it takes a lot of time to build it; all the scenery in the sky and the world are prepared, and Fang Yuan should be named Xi Grand View."
Yuanchun put down his pen and asked the sisters to write a plaque and a poem each, and let them express themselves as they pleased. There is no doubt that Daiyu and Baochai come out on top.
