Time passes, another day passes.
On this day, the Rongguo Duke's palace suddenly became anxious. The reason was that the second master Jia Zheng, who was a member of the Ministry of Works, was proclaimed into the palace by Emperor Kangxi of the Ming Dynasty.
Jia Mu and others waited anxiously behind the three gates. Without any warning, Jia Zheng was recruited into the Daming Palace.
Now, with the tens of thousands of border troops coming to the capital, the capital has become noisy and full of soldiers. The atmosphere in the court has also become tense. The Supreme Emperor, who was out of breath after being suppressed by the emperor some time ago, seems to be nervous again. got up.
The two governments knew that Jia She was repeatedly summoned to the Taihe Palace by the Supreme Emperor. Now that Jia Zheng was kept in the Daming Palace by Emperor Mingkang, why didn't this make the two governments nervous? Because of Jia Qi, the two governments are now unable to go to the Palace of Peace. Not only was he rejected by Wu Xun's lineage, but he was also disliked by Emperor Mingkang because of the Supreme Emperor.
After about half an hour, a boy ran in in a hurry, breathing heavily. When he saw the boy, Sister Feng on the side quickly asked: "What's the matter? Tell me quickly!!"
Xu was running so fast that he was out of breath. He just knelt on the ground on one knee, breathing like a broken bellows, and couldn't reply at all. Seeing him like this, Mrs. Xing, Mrs. Wang, and Sister Feng was even more anxious, and her face was even more impatient. She kept saying, "What's going on? Tell me quickly!"
Aunt Xue on the side couldn't help but talk when she saw this, "Tell him to slow down, he won't be able to speak even if he does this!"
Jia Mu also said: "Don't worry, let him take a breath!"
After another ten breaths or so, Jia Mu said again: "What on earth is going on? Tell me quickly!"
The boy probably calmed down and said loudly: "Butler Lai is back!!"
When Jia Mu heard this, she couldn't help but said anxiously: "Why don't you go find it quickly!!"
Everyone was talking about Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrived soon. The chief stewards of Rongguo Mansion, Lai Da, trotted over from the Chuihua Gate, came to Jia Mu, and kowtowed respectfully.
After Jia Mu saw it, she said anxiously: "Where is your second master? What is going on?"
Lai Dayi raised his hand and quickly replied: "I only wait outside the palace and don't know the details inside. Later, I heard Eunuch Xia say that our eldest girl has won the favor of the emperor and was promoted to be the concubine of Yi! She will take charge of Fengzao Palace! Master Let me come back and tell the old lady to go into the palace to thank you!!"
As soon as these words came out, Jia Mu and others were overjoyed as if they heard the sound of nature. The surprise came too suddenly.
With Jia Qi's participation in the current concubine designation, Yuanchun got rid of the name of a virtuous concubine and obtained the position of a true concubine.
Nowadays, the harem of Emperor Mingkang only consists of the main queen, one noble concubine, two concubines, and three concubines. Yuanchun has reached the sky in one step, becoming one of the four concubines under the empress and the concubine in the harem.
Jia Mu and others hurried back to the house, and those who were in charge of imperial orders went back to put on their official clothes and went into the palace to express their gratitude.
Among these women in the two houses, who are the ones with official orders?
First is Jia Mu, who has the title of first-class Duke's wife, and then there is Mrs. The product's Ministry of Industry member Wai Lang. There are only three people in the West Mansion, while in the East Mansion, there is only one, and that is the You family, because Jia Zhen's title was a third-class Shenwei general.
Wang Xifeng, Li Wan and others have no official orders.
After returning to the room, Sister Feng looked gloomy. She was usually a domineering person in the house, but compared with the You family of the East House, she had a natural shortcoming, she had no royal title.
For women in this era, imperial edicts were a symbol of status. Those with imperial edicts could directly enter the palace to meet the saints. Even people like Jia Mu could attend the banquets prepared by the queen on festival days.
As Wang Xifeng's confidant, Ping'er naturally knew about Sister Feng's petty thoughts, but there was nothing she could do about it. After all, the royal decree was not based on women's meritorious service. Of course, women in this era were not allowed to participate in government affairs. , let alone meritorious service. If you want to get a royal title, you can only rely on your own men to earn it.
But what kind of temperament does Second Master Lian of Rongguo Mansion have? As their bedfellows, they know very well that if they let him suffer and perform meritorious deeds and help them earn their lives, even if the sun rises in the west, then All are impossible.
The only thing I still miss is Deng Da (this chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 175: Yuanchun's Concubine's Concubine, the Competition between Women
A hundred years after Master Jia She's death, Jia Lian will seize the title again, just like Jia Zhen of Dongfu, and still get the title of third-class general. At that time, Sister Feng may be able to get a royal title.
"My aunt is not interested in going!"
Sister Feng threw the handkerchief on the table and made some sarcastic remarks.
Ping'er on the side knew that Sister Feng was speaking sarcastically and smiled, "Grandma, if you really want to get a job, you might as well try harder on our second master and let him go out to find a job and show off his ambitions. When the time comes, Tianjia will naturally reward you!!"
As soon as Jia Lian was mentioned, Sister Feng became a little discouraged. She didn't know what was going on with her man. If she was willing to suffer a little, she wouldn't just donate a fellow concubine, which was dispensable.
Seeing that Sister Feng was still acting like that, Ping'er couldn't help but comforted her: "It's far away, but after all, grandma can still get a royal title. As long as the second master takes the title, it will be at least the third rank. Look at Aunt Xue's family, even if it is extremely rich, No, I don’t have a royal title, so grandma should relax. After all, there are only so many positions for officials in the dynasty, and every one of them is a carrot, so how many women in the world can have a royal title!"
After hearing Ping'er's persuasion, Sister Feng gradually calmed down. What Ping'er said is really true. As long as Lian Er takes the title in the future, she can still get a royal title. She is not as good as Aunt Xue's family. I can only think about it.
However, when talking about the royal decree, Sister Feng couldn't help but think of one person. Among the women in the two mansions, the one with the highest imperial decree is none other than Jia Mu. She is the wife of the Duke of the country, with a first-class royal title, which is beyond the reach of others. She herself My aunt only has a fifth-grade pleasant life, the lowest kind.
"Hey~ Ping'er, what kind of fate do you think Brother Xing's first wife will get in the future??"
When Ping'er heard Sister Feng's words, he was slightly startled. This was the end of the story again, but after a short pause, Ping'er said: "It should be a first-grade life creation!"
There was a flash of fire in Sister Feng's eyes. She was a life-maker, and there were not many people in the government who had that! Even the lady from the Zhenguo Palace that I met a few times when I went out was only a second-grade one! If you want to be promoted to another rank, unless Mr. Niu Jizong Niu makes some great achievements, I'm afraid there will be no hope in this life.
Seeing Sister Feng's enthusiasm, Ping'er felt a little funny in his heart and couldn't help but said: "Auntie, what are you thinking about? It's not our turn to do such good things! With Uncle Qin's character, not to mention those county owners and princesses, even if It's possible to be a princess! You can become a marquis at this age, and you may not be able to take further steps in the future. I heard from Miss Lin and others that this champion marquis is not an ordinary marquis, and is more valuable than an ordinary duke!! "
When Sister Feng heard this, she couldn't help but gasped. Now that she is a Duke of Biguo, wouldn't she be a prince if she becomes a prince?
The corresponding position of the legitimate wife is——the princess.
With Jia Qi's ability, this possibility may not be impossible in the future, and it may even be very big! Didn't we just accomplish great feats a few days ago, and one person subdued tens of thousands of people! When she thought of this, Sister Feng's breathing became much heavier.
"Ping'er, how many women are around Brother Xing now??"
After a while, Sister Feng started to gossip.
Ping'er didn't stop it, and the fire of gossip in her heart started to burn. Now that she and Sister Feng were hiding in their room, these words were private at best and harmless.
I saw Ping'er speaking with his fingers, "There is Cai Luan, and Xiang Ling who has been following Miss Lin before, plus the magpie given by the old lady. I heard that it has been renamed Qingwen, and the others I haven’t heard of it, but I’m thinking that there should be a lot of people waiting on me, maybe three or five!”
Hearing this, Sister Feng's eyes couldn't help but flicker twice, and then she said aloud: "Do you think any of these people may become masters in the future??"
Ping'er shook his head, "How is this possible? Our Dakang has always been a good match. If Brother Qi has not become the Marquis now, but is still the bastard of Dongfu, these people may still have a chance, but he is now a golden man. My dear Marquis, this is inappropriate!"
Wang Xifeng sighed softly, "Why didn't we see at that time that Brother Qi would have such good fortune in the future??"
Ping'er also sighed: "Grandma, this is a joke. Who can predict what will happen in the future! It is said that fate plays tricks on people, and fortune plays tricks on people. This is not what they are talking about. (This chapter is not over!)
Chapter 175: Yuanchun's Concubine's Concubine, the Competition between Women
Is that reasonable? "
Two flowers bloom, one on each side.
While Sister Feng was still secretly unhappy, Jia Mu and others first went to the Daming Palace to express gratitude, then went to meet the Supreme Emperor, the old concubine and others, and finally came to Fengzao Palace and met Yuanchun.
When relatives meet, it is inevitable that family affairs will be broken. However, Jia Mu and others are well aware of the strict rules in the harem and dare not be careless at all. This also makes the communication between Yuanchun and Jia Mu and others seem a bit dull, and their every move is... There was a trace of alienation, Yuan Chun felt sad but helpless, but she missed the brother who dared to joke with her.
At least at that time, she could feel that the person talking to her was one of her relatives. Unlike now, even if she went away for a week to see her elders, they would not accept it and would still come back to worship her.
"Your Majesty, if you want to live a good life in the palace, you need to have an heir, preferably a young prince. I have a recipe here. If the emperor is lucky again, you can eat it in advance!"
Hearing this, Yuanchun felt something strange in his heart, but he still accepted it honestly.
Then Jia Mu asked again if she had enough money, and she knew very well how much money was needed for the palace.
Yuan Chun smiled and nodded, "Last time, Brother Qi left me a lot, so grandma doesn't have to worry!"
When Jia Mu saw that Yuanchun was talking about Jia Chu, her face seemed to become much brighter, and she felt a little bit disgusted. Although it was indeed Jia Chu's contribution to Yuanchun's rise to power, in the end it was the difference between closeness and distance. Which one of us is not closer than that person? , besides, there is also a biological brother! This sound is very heartbreaking.
After thinking about it, Jia Mu whispered the truth to Yuan Chun. After hearing this, Yuan Chun was stunned for a moment, then nodded lightly, indicating that he understood.
Yuan Chun said again: "Grandma, Brother Qi is a good and excellent person. You should get closer to him more in the future. After all, people get closer and closer. Don't always think about taking advantage, but be more sincere." , when there is really something going on between the two houses, Brother Qi won’t just sit idly by!”
Jia Mu and others just nodded after hearing this. How could they not know about such a thing? But now Jia Qi lacks everything, and what the two houses can provide is almost non-existent.
It seemed that he understood what Jia Mu was thinking; Yuan Chun smiled softly and said, "It doesn't matter what kind of precious thing it is, as long as it is what you want. Let Baoyu go to Di Di's place more often. Di Di is a very interesting person." , Baoyu won’t be bored, and he can gain insights, which will be good for him in the future!”
When Jia Mu and others heard this, they sighed again. This eldest girl in her family probably didn't know that the relationship between their two houses and Jia Chun was not that good! But now that they were in the palace, it was difficult to say these words. They still wanted to take advantage of the situation, so they could only smile and nod.
After that, Jia Mu and others chatted with Yuan Chun for half an hour before saying goodbye and leaving.
Looking at the retreating figures of his grandmother and mother, Yuanchun's eyes turned red again. He didn't know when he would see her again.
Then she remembered the truth that Jia Mu had told her, and she was speechless, leaving only a soft sigh that dissipated in the wind.
