After Jia Yuanchun read Jia Yun's letter to her, she still froze in disbelief for a long time.
Jia Yuanchun never thought that things would be like this.
She has been taking decoctions that are easy to get pregnant in recent days, thinking about giving birth to an heir for Emperor Yongtai and stabilizing her position in the harem.
Now, although Jia Yuanchun is the imperial concubine, her status is not the same as that of several other imperial concubines.
Just because Jia Yuanchun had no heirs, he was inferior to others and could not hold his head high in the harem.
Therefore, Jia Yuanchun desperately wanted to accomplish this matter.
However, Jia Yuanchun also knew that Emperor Yongtai worked hard and worked in the palace most of the time. He was busy until very late and would only choose to rest. Occasionally, he rarely had the leisure to be romantic and happy. When he had the opportunity, They, the concubines, and everyone in the harem also have to look at luck to distribute their fortunes.
She had suffered in the harem for so many years. If Emperor Yongtai hadn't needed her as a pawn, I'm afraid she wouldn't have even had this chance.
After taking advantage of it, Emperor Yongtai turned cold to her again and did not come to see her or be intimate with her for many months.
This time Jia Yuanchun asked his personal maid to hold Qin and contact Jia Yun because Jia Yun was a minister of the DPRK and had a good relationship with Xiangdaiquan in the harem of the Ming Dynasty and was close to him.
What kind of person is Dai Quan? Almost all the eunuchs and various arrangements in the harem are managed by this person, similar to the powerful butler.
Compared with the empress, who is the queen of the world in name only, and the chief steward of the three palaces and six courtyards, this one is the real master of affairs.
The queen is only in name, and most of the time she will not come forward to exert her subjective initiative and actively manage the entire harem.
Jia Yuanchun wanted Jia Yun to help contact Dai Quan, communicate with Dai Quan in advance, and secretly arrange this matter, so that she could get the opportunity to have more affairs with the emperor and create more opportunities to get along with him. Then she would be pregnant. , isn’t the possibility of giving birth to a dragon son even greater? qδ.net
It's a pity that Jia Yun's reply severely shattered Jia Yuanchun's mind.
At the same time, it also made Jia Yuanchun aware of the dangers of the harem.
Before, Jia Yuanchun only thought about attacking and climbed up desperately, hoping to take advantage of the opportunity of pregnancy to break free from the cage and fly into the sky.
He never thought about the dangers he faced behind him.
Even Jia Yuanchun naively believed that as long as Jia Yun was willing to help, she would definitely be able to get pregnant, and her son could also compete for the position of prince in the future.
However, now that Jia Yun's reply has arrived, it is undoubtedly a bucket of cold water poured on Jia Yuanchun's head, and it can no longer make Jia Yuanchun's blood boil.
After Jia Yuanchun sighed, he immediately walked to the lantern, took off the lantern cover, and placed the letter in his hand under the flickering red candlelight. The candle flame burned the paper and instantly ignited the letter. It burned violently, emitting a brighter flame.
She looked at the blazing fire in front of her and the letter that gradually turned into ashes. At the same time, she burned her ambition and greed into flames and never mentioned them again.
Jia Tanchun just watched quietly.
Jia Tanchun actually didn't know what Jia Yun wrote in the letter to Jia Yuanchun, but judging from Jia Yuanchun's reaction, she also guessed that the content of the letter must not be something good. .
Immediately, Jia Tanchun stood up slowly, walked to Jia Yuanchun's side, and said, "Sister Yuanchun, let me measure your figure! Now that this matter has been said, that's it. You can't take back the water you spilled. If I don't bring new clothes the next time I come to visit Sister Motoharu, it will actually arouse suspicion."
Jia Yuanchun felt endless pain in his heart, and said with tears in his eyes: "Okay, then I'll trouble my sister."
With Jia Yuanchun's permission, Jia Tanchun took a look at the letter that burned to ashes to make sure that nothing was missing. After everything was burned, he relaxed and measured Jia Yuanchun's figure.
stand outside
The palace maid looked at the two people inside and couldn't help but murmur in her heart.
He pondered in his mind: "Is it possible that you came to the palace so early in the morning just because of these new clothes?"
For a moment, the female officers who were placed next to Jia Yuanchun couldn't help but become suspicious. They felt that this matter was not normal, and planned to report to the master behind them after they left.
Jia Tanchun and Jia Yuanchun inside walked out after simple communication and measurement.
At this moment, both of their faces were full of smiles, like flowers blooming in spring, colorful.
Jia Yuanchun smiled and said, "Just go back and reassure the old lady. No matter what color the clothes are, I will always be satisfied."
After saying that, Jia Yuanchun looked at the palace maid beside him: "Baoqin, you go and see off Sister Tanchun."
The next moment, Baoqin was seen taking Jia Tanchun out.
Xiao Fuzi, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, suddenly heard movement behind him and said, "You've finally come out! Come with me quickly. It's better to leave here as soon as possible."
With that said, Xiao Fuzi glanced at Jia Tanchun again, and then hurriedly took Jia Tanchun away.
........
Imperial Palace, Jinluan Hall, morning court.
Jia Yun looked at Emperor Yongtai sitting on the dragon chair, looked around at the ministers, and couldn't help but frown.
There was something slightly wrong with the atmosphere today, as if something big had happened that he didn't know about.
"Get up!!"
Emperor Yongtai looked at the ministers below and continued: "Today, the prefect of Juzhou sent a message, saying that there is a severe drought in the world this year and the rivers have dried up. He is crying to me that people are dying of hunger all over the land and that they are in urgent need of disaster relief, silver and food. I just don't know what you are saying. Do you know this?"
"This..." Everyone looked at each other, their hearts pounding.
A few people know about this, but they dare not mention it.
For court officials to report good news but not bad news, and to deceive superiors and deceive subordinates, these are all old traditions passed down from our ancestors.
No matter that dynasty or that generation, it has always been like this.
Even in the civilized world where Jia Yun lived in her previous life, such things were like carps crossing the river, countless.
Because once the lid is lifted, no one knows how many people will be dismissed from their jobs because of this matter.
When Jia Yun saw this, she learned about the drought.
Droughts have occurred in recent years, not to mention Juzhou, but also in Shenjing, where the emperor's capital is located. The people nearby are also suffering from the distress caused by drought. Even Rongguo Mansion and the former Ningguo Mansion have grown from the fields. The field harvests and so on have also been greatly reduced, and huge problems have arisen.
If people are not appeased by the drought, rebellion will not be far away.
