The eldest son of the red mansion

Chapter 687 Disrespect
After Jia Zheng and his son sat down, Jia Zhen, the king of Ningjun, who was the head of the Jia family, brought the Jia family members to kneel down again and bowed three times and kowtowed nine times.

Seeing that everyone had finished saluting, Jia Ke said to Jia Zhen below, "This year's ancestor worship will still be presided over by the patriarch."

After hearing this, Jia Zhen hurried out of work to agree.

Then Jia Ke helped Jia Zheng out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony again. When he arrived here, he naturally waited for the father and son to get on the chariot again for a year.

At this time, otherwise a group of people came beside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and the leader was that Zhu Lin.

At this time Zhu Lin held little Jia Zhi in his arms, and came down to Jia Ke's chariot surrounded by a group of court ladies and eunuchs.

Seeing the situation, Jia Ke frowned. What is this for?Jia Ke didn't remember to let two such young children go with them to the Taimiao to worship their ancestors.

Zhu Lin fell to his knees and kowtowed to Jia Ke, then said, "Slave Zhu Lin pays my respects to Long Live Lord."

Jia Ke said with displeasure on his face, "What are you doing here with King Chu?"

Zhu Lin lowered her head and did not dare to lift it up, but she said firmly: "Today is a great day to worship the ancestors. Although the king of Chu is still young, he also has a filial piety, so the empress asked the servants to bring him to pay homage. Ancestor."

Jia Ke stared at Zhu Lin with vicious eyes, trying to see through her heart.

Is it Zhu Lin's intention this time, or Qin Keqing's acceptance?

This is not because the king of Chu has a filial heart and wants to participate in the ancestor worship, but because he wants to participate in the worship as Jia Ke's eldest son. In this way, Jia Zhi is the natural candidate for the crown prince.

Jia Ke is not willing to establish a crown prince now, not to mention that Jia Ke is also suspicious of Qin Keqing now, so Jia Ke is silent in the imperial chariot.

At this time, Zhu Lin who was kneeling on the ground didn't dare to raise her head. She knew that it would be dangerous to do the truth this time, but once she succeeded, Jia Zhi would be able to get close to the water first.So the risk is worth taking.

At this time, Jia Zheng in the imperial chariot behind Jia Ke also knew the situation, so he sent a eunuch to pass a message to Jia Ke, asking Jia Ke to take Jia Zhi to participate in the ancestor worship ceremony.

After listening to Jia Zheng's message, Jia Ke lowered his head and thought for a while, then called Li Deshan to come.

"Go to Jingren Palace and ask Concubine Liang to send someone to take King Wu over. Since you are going to worship the ancestors, then take them with you."

Li Deshan got the order, and immediately led his people straight to Jingren Palace.

At this time, the eyes of Zhu Lin who was kneeling on the ground flickered. It seemed that Jia Ke hadn't made up his mind about establishing the crown prince yet.

It didn't take long to see, Qiao Lian hugged Wu Wang Jia Mao, and rushed here with the maids and eunuchs.

Qiaolian came to Jia Ke's imperial chariot, knelt down on the ground and said, "My concubine and good concubine Zhou Qiaolian has seen Long live, long live, long live."

"My beloved concubine is free from courtesy."

After listening to Jia Ke's order, Qiao Lian stood up.

Jia Ke said with a smile: "Today is the day of offering sacrifices to ancestors, but the weather is too cold, so I didn't want to let the two children participate. But the queen has already sent someone to bring Jia Zhi, I thought that since one came, the other You can't be absent, so I ordered you to bring Jia Mao."

After hearing Jia Ke's words, Qiaolian's face became gloomy for a while, then she turned her head and gave Zhu Linshi a hard look, as if she was about to eat her.

Qiao Lian was a little clever at first, but after hearing Jia Ke's words, she immediately understood the cause and effect. This is because Qin Keqing wanted Jia Zhi to take the lead and pay homage to her ancestors in order to compete for the crown prince.

Seeing that Qiaolian understood, Jia Ke didn't say anything more, so she told Li Deshan next to her, "Send you two little princes to the imperial chariot of my land, and we, father and son, will ride together."

Li Deshan hurried up and carried Jia Zhi and Jia Mao into Jia Ke's imperial chariot.

Jia Ke smiled and hugged the two fat boys in her arms, kissed each other on the left and right, and then said to the people outside: "Let's go."

Then the convoy set off again and went straight to Taimiao.

After Jia Ke and the others left, Qiaolian stood up, came to Zhu Lin who was still kneeling there, and then stepped on Zhu Lin's hand that was on the ground, and then left.

After everyone left, Zhu Lin dared to stand up. Enduring the severe pain in her hand, she wiped the sweat from her forehead with the other hand.Then he went back to Kunning Palace and returned to Qin Keqing.

On the way back to Jingren Palace, Qiao Lian became less angry as she thought about it, so she ordered the sedan chair to circle around and went straight to the Palace of Compassion and Ning, where the Empress Dowager Zhou was.

When Qiaolian came to the Palace of Compassion, the Palace of Compassion was being decorated with lanterns and festoons, and the Holy Mother, Empress Dowager Zhou, was also preparing to go to the Fengxian Xiandian to worship the costumes of Jia's ancestors tonight.

As soon as Mrs. Zhou saw Qiaolian coming, she immediately smiled. The current Mrs. Zhou can be said to be extremely noble in the palace, and Qiaolian is her niece. The two of them often chatted together. The lack can be said to be content.

"Here is Qiaolian?" Empress Dowager Zhou greeted Qiaolian, as if Qiaolian looked behind her, she was looking for Jia Mao. Jia Mao was brought up by Empress Dowager Zhou not long after he was born. Jia Mao's feelings are not inferior to Jia Ke's.

"Auntie, don't look for it anymore, Mao'er is now following his father to worship the ancestors."

After the Queen Mother finished listening, she had no choice but to turn around and continue to look at her Dachao dress.

Qiao Lian went to the Empress Dowager Zhou, drove away the maids and eunuchs next to her, and while touching the dress, she said to the Empress Dowager Zhou: "Auntie, do you know? The Emperor didn't plan to bring two The child went, but the queen suddenly sent someone to send the king of Chu to the emperor's motorcade, so that the emperor could not get off the stage."

"Oh, there is such a thing?"

Seeing that the Queen Mother Zhou was interested in the success, Qiao Lian continued to add fuel and jealousy: "If the king of Chu is allowed to pay homage to the ancestors alone, what will the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty think?"

After hearing this, the Empress Dowager Zhou sat down on the throne again, and said with a displeased face: "If this is the case, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty may think that the emperor has decided to make the king of Chu the crown prince."

Although Jia Zhi and Jia Mao are both grandsons of Queen Mother Zhou, their ten fingers are not the same length. In Queen Mother Zhou's heart, the one who can inherit the world is Wu Wang Jia Mao, whom she raised since she was a child.

"What happened next?"

Qiao Lian said with a smile on her face: "It's my cousin who is thinking about us, and immediately ordered Li Deshan to pick up our Maoer as soon as he saw this scene."

The Queen Mother Zhou nodded after hearing this, with a smile on her face, she felt that this son really cared for her, and it seemed that she had thought of something with her.

"You should also be more careful in the future. I heard the emperor tell me that the nanny next to the queen is not an ordinary person."

Qiao Lian nodded after hearing this. She now puts all her thoughts on Wu Wang Jia Mao, and regards the Queen Mother of Zhou as her idol, and dreams of becoming the Queen Mother in the Palace of Compassion and Ning one day.

Besides, after Jia Ke and the others went through a complicated etiquette, they burned incense and kowtowed to their ancestors after the Taimiao.

Only then did he return to the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and then he ordered the eunuchs to send King Wu and King Chu to their mother.

Next, Jia Zheng and Jia Ke took the close relatives of Jia's family to Ningshou Palace to pay homage to Jia Mu, the old lady of Jia's family.

When they arrived at Ningshou Palace, they saw that Qin Keqing, the empress, was already waiting here.

After another round of etiquette, Qin Keqing followed Jia Ke and entered the main hall of Ningshou Palace with everyone.

In the main hall, Jia Mu is in the center as the Empress Dowager, and the Queen Mother Wang and Zhou are serving on both sides of Jia Mu.

Then everyone kowtowed again, and after the ceremony, everyone sat down in Ningshou Palace.

Sitting in the middle, Jia Mu glanced at the crowd and saw Jia Baoyu wearing a royal robe and a crown, standing there respectfully.

So Jia Mu said happily, "Baoyu, come to me."

Jia Baoyu looked up at his father, Jia Zheng, and saw that Jia Zheng didn't say anything, so he came to Jia's mother with a smile on his face.

As soon as Jia's mother hugged Jia Baoyu in her arms, she rubbed it for a while, and Jia Baoyu let go of the tension just now, and kept acting like a baby in Jia's mother's arms.

After a while, Jia's mother let go of Jia Baoyu and said to him, "Give your mother a present."

Then Jia Baoyu stood up and saluted the Queen Mother, then glanced at the Queen Mother Zhou, then turned his eyes aside, and returned to Jia Mu's side.

Seeing this situation, Jia Ke was furious. This Jia Baoyu is too ignorant of etiquette. Do you still think that the Queen Mother Zhou is the original Aunt Zhou?
Jia Ke was angry now, but she couldn't bear it, so she just put the cup on the table.

When Jia's mother heard the voice, she raised her head and looked towards Jia Ke, only to see Jia Ke's face was ashen, staring at Jia Baoyu with red eyes.

Looking at the situation, she knew that Jia Baoyu didn't salute the Queen Mother just now, and Jia Ke thought it was because Jia Baoyu was rude to the Queen Mother.

If Jia Mu said a word in the past, it would have passed like this, but now Jia Ke is the Nine-Five Supreme, and Jia Baoyu is like this. Isn't this clearly giving him eye drops?

If Jia Ke can't calm down today and let him remember this matter in his heart, Jia Baoyu may be safe when he waits for others to live, but once he and Jia Zheng are gone, Jia Baoyu's life may not be safe.

So Jia Mu smiled and said to Jia Baoyu, "Baoyu, come here."

Jia Baoyu came to Jia Mu's side from waking up, and was about to act like a baby in front of him, when Jia Mu raised her hand and slapped Jia Baoyu on the face.

This beat Jia Baoyu into a bewilderment. This is the second time Jia Baoyu has been beaten by Jia's mother.

Not yet, when Jia Baoyu came to his senses, Mother Jia shouted, "Kneel down."

What Jiamu said shocked everyone in the hall. They never thought that Jiamu would be so strict with Jia Baoyu.

At this time, the Queen Mother hurriedly stood up, came to Jia Mu and said, "Lafayette, what's wrong with Baoyu, I'm here to kowtow for you to make amends."

After the Queen Mother finished speaking, she knelt down to Jia Mu.

But Jia Mu ignored the Queen Mother and said to Jia Baoyu: "You are not young, and you are on the throne now, don't you know etiquette? Why didn't you salute the Queen Mother just now?"

When everyone in the hall heard Jia Mu's words, they immediately understood what happened just now, so they focused their eyes on Jia Ke at the same time, only to see that Jia Ke sat there with a gloomy face and said nothing.
