The days passed by, and in the blink of an eye, seven days had passed, and the turmoil caused by Japer's return to the capital began to subside.
Three days ago, the emperor also officially issued a decree to marry Jiapo and Qin Keqing. The officials of the Ministry of Etiquette are currently very busy. The prince is still marrying the princess. The complicated procedures and etiquette make Jiapo's scalp numb.
"Your Majesty, Jia Zheng, a foreign minister from the Ministry of Industry, would like to see you." At this time, Jia Po had a grimace on his face. He didn't know what his boss was thinking, and said that he would help him take care of the prince for two days.
The reason is that since the little boss returned to the palace, he has changed a lot. He has become more fond of learning and is no longer naughty. But recently, he has been dazing with the stuffed bear given to him by Jia Xichun. The big boss, who loves his son, thinks Give your son a holiday, didn't you just send someone to talk about it? Japer complained in his heart, you are such a big-hearted emperor.
"Invite him to the main hall to serve tea." Japer said calmly.
He doesn't hate Jia Zheng and Japer. From this period of time, he is one of the few people who works hard for the Jia family. Although he is not capable enough, he is still somewhat responsible.
At this time, Jia Zheng was sitting in the hall of the palace with a worried look on his face, and the tea on the table was untouched. The Duke of Rongguo has been having a very difficult time recently. The entire Duke of Rongguo has a very bad reputation in Shenjing City. Jia Zheng's popularity among officials was not very good, and now it is even worse. It can be said that life is very difficult.
After the emperor issued an edict to reprimand Jia Baoyu, Jia Baoyu was almost beaten to death, so she fainted and became ill. After waking up, he kept calling Japer's name.
Jia Zheng came here this time to invite Jia Per to visit the Rongguo Duke's mansion to look at the old lady.
"Jia Zheng, what are you doing here?" Just when Jia Zheng was distracted, Jia Po had already walked into the main hall.
"Your Majesty, Jia Zheng, see you at Chitose." Jia Zheng saluted immediately upon seeing Jia Po's arrival.
"Okay, what do you want to do with me?" Since the separation of the family, he had no contact with the Duke of Rongguo. He was curious about what Jia Zheng wanted to do with him.
"Please help me, Your Majesty!" Jia Zheng knelt down and said sadly.
"Help? How can a doctor, Gu Youfei, save a life?" Jiapo frowned when he saw Jia Zheng acting like this.
"My lord, my mother is seriously ill. She has been chanting the names of my lord and the three girls since she woke up. Please dare me to ask my lord to come back to my house for a visit!" Jia Zheng had tears in his eyes and his words were full of sorrow.
"Brother! Brother! Brother, please go back and see your grandmother!" Just when Japer was about to refuse, Miharu ran in and knelt in front of Japer and begged.
"Your Majesty, I know that you have a grudge against the Rongguo Palace. It is the Rongguo Palace that can't forgive you, but we are blood relatives after all!" Seeing Sanchun come out to plead for mercy, Jia Zheng was overjoyed. He knew that Jia Yingchun was in Jiapo The position in Japer's heart is that Tanchun and Xichun are wearing it here. Even if the position in Japer's heart is not as good as that of Jia Yingchun, it still has a lot of weight. If they speak, they may really be able to persuade Japer.
"Brother! Although my life in the Duke of Rongguo has not been very good over the past few years, most of it has been caused by the evil slaves who have made things difficult for me. My grandmother has been very fond of us over the years and has never lacked our food and clothing. Brother, you Just think it's for us, go and have a look!" Seeing Japer deep in thought, Jia Yingchun and Jia Tanchun each took one of Japer's hands and said coquettishly, while little Xichun also lay in his arms and looked at him expectantly. "
"Okay! Okay! Why don't you go? There's really nothing we can do about you!" Japer looked at the three of them with a doting look and smiled. The reason why he agreed to see Jia Mu was not only Sanchun, but also that Jia Mu couldn't die yet. If Jia Mu died, no matter how he died, everyone would say that he, Jia Po, was angry to death, and he didn't care. But the three girls will eventually get married when they grow up. If this rumor really spreads, then who will marry the sister of a person who makes their grandmother angry to death? No one will marry even the sister of Wang Jue. Such a reputation goes against I'm sorry.
Duke Rong's Mansion
The current Duke Rongguo's mansion no longer has the joy and laughter of the past, and the servants no longer have the arrogance of the past. Now when I go out, I always feel like someone is pointing fingers from behind.
"Oh! I don't know if the second master can invite the prince." At this time, Yuanyang looked at the door with a sad face. She was Jia Mu's personal maid and had a high status in the mansion. After Jia Mu became seriously ill, she also Very worried.
"If you ask me, Prince Zhongping is not a good person either. He makes the old lady so angry." A little maid next to Yuanyang whispered.
"Pah! How presumptuous! Do you want to die, Xi Ren, for making such arrogant remarks about the king?" Yuanyang was shocked when she heard what Xi Ren said. They knew Japer's terror, and they didn't want to bear the murderous intent anymore, and made such arrogant remarks. Wang Jue would be beheaded if he was serious, so when he heard what Pearl said, Yuanyang immediately slapped him away.
"Tap! Tread! Tread!"
"I'll take care of you later." Just when Yuanyang was about to punish Xiren, the sound of horse hooves interrupted her, and she immediately glared at Zhenzhu and said.
"Hurry up and report that the prince is coming." Yuanyang looked forward and saw a group of one hundred black-armored knights, escorting a carriage with four black horses. Japer and his party came, and Yuanyang's expression changed. Yixi shouted.
In the Rongqing Hall, there was no joy and laughter in the past. Jia Mu was lying on the couch, and Wang Xifeng and several maids were taking care of her. Mrs. Wang's eyes were red and swollen, and she had obviously cried for a long time. I thought that Jia She was brought back to the palace by Jia Po, and that the entire Rongguo Palace would be his own from now on. Unexpectedly, the emperor ordered Jia Baoyu to be beaten to death the next day. If Jia's mother hadn't dragged her sick body to plead for mercy, she would have been beaten to death. , just like this, the energy is like a gossamer, it is really extremely joyful and sad.
Especially, Mrs. Xing and Mrs. Wang looked at Mrs. Wang with gloating eyes. Mrs. Wang relied on the fact that her brother was Prince Teng, the governor of the Beijing camp, and Jia Baoyu was favored by Jia Mu, so she had been bullying the big house.
And Jia She, the big house, is nothing. Mrs. Xing is from a small family, and she has no son, so she is not liked by Jia Mu. Mrs. You is just a concubine, let alone the right to speak. Let alone Jia Lian, she is manipulated by Wang Xifeng. In a desperate situation, Jiapo, the only promising member of Dafang's lineage, directly separated from the Rongguo Duke's family. Now that they see Mrs. Wang like this, they are not to mention how happy they are.
"Greetings to your lord, your lord is a thousand years old"
Just when everyone in the hall was having different thoughts, the sound of maids and servants kneeling down and saluting came. Everyone quickly stood up and looked outside the screen. Jia Mu also tilted her head to look at the screen.
At this time, a man wearing white clothes, embroidered with a three-clawed golden dragon, wearing a red gold crown, tall and straight, with a resolute face walked in.
Seeing Japer's arrival, everyone immediately saluted.
"Caomin, I, my wife, pay my respects to the Prince of Zhongping County. Your Majesty is a thousand years old.
"Forgive me the gift, old lady, you can also forgive me!" Japer saw the old lady was about to salute, sighed and quickly stopped her. When Japer came this time, he found that his body was not as resistant to the Rongguo Palace as when he first came back, and there was no urge to destroy the Rongguo Palace in his heart. He knew that his original resentment had completely disappeared.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Seeing Japer this time was not as oppressive as the first time, and everyone felt relieved. After all, Japer had left such a deep impression on them the first time.
"Grandma, are you feeling better?" Sanchun saw Jia Mu lying on the bed and ran over quickly.
"Girls, you are here. It seems that the prince is very kind to you." Seeing Sanchun's arrival, Jia Mu's pale face showed a smile. You can tell from the way the three girls are dressed and the looks on their faces that Japer treats them well.
Jia Po watched the three girls chatting with Jia Mu. Sanchun, who kept making Jia Mu laugh, looked at them fondly and then looked at everyone present.
Seeing that no one dared to speak, he smiled and said, "I don't know much about everyone in the house, so please introduce yourself."
"Your Majesty, Queen Xifeng of the People's Republic of China has met your Majesty." Seeing that no one dared to speak, Wang Xifeng hurriedly saluted.
"Well! I know you, you are the one who is known as Feng Lazi." Japer looked at Wang Xifeng, who was known as the Fairy, and said with a smile. I have to say it is really beautiful, worthy of the title of concubine and fairy.
"Your Majesty is always a joke in the palace." Wang Xifeng felt relieved after hearing what Jiapo said and said with a smile.
"You must be Wang Ziteng's sister, Mrs. Wang!" Japer said, looking at Mrs. Wang, who looked ugly.
Seeing Jia Po mentioning Mrs. Wang, Jia Zheng and others were all excited, and they were deeply afraid that Mrs. Wang would say the wrong thing.
"That's right, my wife!" Although Mrs. Wang was not too smart, she also knew that Japer was not something to be offended, so she bowed and said.
Everyone was relieved to see that Mrs. Wang didn't talk nonsense. After that, everyone in the mansion began to introduce each other, and the atmosphere became less solemn.
"Xue Baochai, the daughter of the common people, pays her respects to Chitose." After everyone introduced each other, Xue Baochai also stood up and saluted.
"You are from the Xue family in Jinling, right!" Jiapo looked at the beautiful girl in front of him with skin as white as snow, flawless whiteness, jade and golden features, and picturesque features. Even if he had seen the beauty of Lin Daiyu and Qin Keqing, he couldn't help but sigh. A sound of national beauty and heavenly fragrance.
"That's right, the daughter of the people. She came to Beijing this time to find her relatives." Xue Baochai said softly when Jiapo asked about it, her voice was sweet, like the drops of a clear spring.
"Well! Now that we are here, if you get bored, you can go to the palace to play with these three girls." Japer said casually without saying much. He had no intention of continuing to chat with Xue Baochai. Recently, Lin Daiyu looked at him more and more. The more things went wrong, the more he would not dare to go to the Qin Mansion. If he provoked one, he would be in big trouble.
"There's also the matter of Xue Da's head, which is probably another troublesome matter. Mr. Jing is getting older, so it's time to make plans for him." Japer thought to himself.
Xue Baochai saw that Japer had not spoken. She looked up and found that he had closed his eyes to rest, and felt a little disappointed. For the first time, I had doubts about my appearance.
She knew about Japer. The Xue family's business was spread all over the world, and naturally it was also spread in Shenjing City. After receiving the news about Japer, she was very curious about him. I thought I might not see Japer when I came to the Rongguo Palace, but when I saw it, I felt something strange in my heart. He was crowned king at a young age and was the emperor's favorite minister. He was also handsome and extraordinary, and he had the majesty of a king and the prowess of a general. Angry, how could such a person not be moved.
Aunt Xue next to her saw her daughter's demeanor and naturally knew something was wrong with Xue Baochai, but Wang Jue, was it really something that the Xue family could achieve? Although the Xue family is known as the Royal Businessman, they are also businessmen at heart! A merchant in Daxing was considered a lowly citizen and could not take the imperial examination or become an official.
"Miss Xue, you may have full authority to decide the affairs of the Xue family." Just when Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai were thinking about the future, Japer's voice came over.
"Go back to your lord, the little girl can naturally make the final decision on matters related to the Xue family." Xue Baochai didn't understand what Jia Po meant by asking this question, but after the mother and daughter looked at each other, Xue Baochai replied softly.
"Okay, in that case, Rigu will take you into the palace to see the emperor." Jiapo said calmly, looking at Xue Baochai in front of him. But I have scolded the emperor countless times in my heart. I cry about poverty every day. You, the richest person in the world, pretend that you cannot see the families you own. By the way, you can see the Zhen family.
"Thank you! Your Majesty." Aunt Xue and Xue Baochai said excitedly when they heard Jia Po said that he wanted to take them to see the emperor. Although they didn't know why he wanted to take them to see the emperor, it would be very good for the Xue family if they were connected to the royal family. It's a great thing.
At the same time, I was sighing in my heart. He was indeed the emperor's favorite minister. No one could guarantee that he would be able to see the emperor. This person had already set the time.
