dream of red mansion

Chapter 261 Enriching the Harem
"Why are you here?"

Jia Qing was very surprised, and then quickly asked: "Where is your master?"

Before the two girls could answer, You Shi said, "Master? They still have a master?"

In her opinion, shouldn't the two daughters be the maids that Jia Qing valued and ordered to be bought back or given away by others? How could there be a master?Others have pretty much the same question.

It was then that Jia Qing remembered that it was not easy to ask about Yu Xianer and the others in front of everyone, so she explained with a smile: "I am good friends with their master, because she is going to go far away, she asked me to take care of them for a while. I thought I would send someone to pick them up in two days, but they came by themselves.

By the way, when did they arrive? Did the sister-in-law arrange a place for them? "

"That's how it is. It's strange that when I asked them earlier, I didn't say much. I just said that I came to see you, second uncle. I saw them at their age, and they were a couple again. I thought"

After You Shi finished speaking, Cui Liu added with a smile: "They arrived in the afternoon, and the sister-in-law has already arranged the place where they live. The side room inside has been vacated, and they have already lived in it. Take care of them."

Hearing about Youshi's arrangement, Jia Qing still doesn't know what Youshi and the others think.The ear room is usually the place where concubines, aunts, housemates, etc. live.

No wonder Jia Qing smiled inwardly at their expressions just now, skipped over this, and said to You Shi, "Sister-in-law, don't worry!"

You Shi repeatedly said "heretics" and "should be". Qin Keqing suddenly said "ah" and exclaimed: "Second Uncle, what happened to your hand?"

As soon as Gain Jia Qing raised his hand, the white sand belt wrapped around it was revealed, which happened to be seen by Qin Keqing.

"I was scratched by a cat, it's not a problem." Jia Qing said, calling everyone to enter the room to talk.

It was getting late at this time, and You Shi and others were about to leave, but they didn't see Jia Qing's hand, so they didn't feel at ease, so they followed into the house.After confirming that there was no serious problem, he got up and left.

Afterwards, Cui Liu also returned to the West Wing. She knew that Jia Qing must have something to deal with, and she didn't want to waste his time.

"Why are you here, where are your master and the others?"

Jia Qing retreated from the others, leaving only the big and small Shuang'er in front of him, and asked.

They were obviously still not used to such a deep house, but fortunately, seeing Jia Qing, they gained confidence and said in a low voice: "Master told us to come to you, Big Brother, and they all left..."

"Gone, where did you go?" Jia Qing asked.

"We didn't know either, but we suddenly said we were going to leave. We originally wanted to go with Master and the others, but Master didn't allow us, and asked us to come to Big Brother, saying that you would take care of us.

Huh, Master, she must think we are too useless, so she won't let us follow."

Saying that, I don't know if it's the elder or the younger Shuang'er, and she becomes sad.

Jia Qing called her forward, held her in her arms, and comforted her: "Okay, don't cry, it's not what you think. Your master went to do something dangerous, because he loves you and is afraid that something will happen to you, so he won't let you cry." you go.

Look, didn't she tell you to come to Big Brother? Or, you don't believe that Big Brother can take care of you? "

Jia Qingfu let go of her again, held her small face and said.

"No, we don't need to take care of him, we can take care of big brother!"

After hearing what Jia Qing said, she didn't seem to like being coaxed like a child.Wiping the crystals that hadn't flowed out of the eye sockets, he emphasized.

Jia Qing smiled, stood up and held the other person's little hand, and said, "Okay, I believe you! Let's go, big brother will take you back to the house, and you can sleep well and recharge your energy before you can take care of me."

"Uh-huh."

"Can he do it?"

In the South Study Room of the Daming Palace, the conversation between the monarch and his ministers continued.

Cui Wenlong said: "Don't worry, your majesty, you don't need to ask him to do anything, just rely on his identity. The emperor can secretly arrange another reliable person to go with him, and let him handle the matter."

Seeing that the emperor was still hesitant, Cui Wenlong said anxiously: "These ministers have been paying attention secretly all these years, but He Shanbao is cunning and cunning, and his actions are meticulous, and the ministers have been helpless.

Now that there is finally a clue, the emperor can't give up! "

After hearing this, the emperor's eyes sharpened.

"Okay, let's do as you say!"

So, the two discussed again, and finally determined the name and specific person to act.

"Your Majesty, such an arrangement is most appropriate." After the agreement, Cui Wenlong laughed.

Emperor Zhengqing sneered and said: "What a sage! My majestic son of heaven wants to investigate a courtier, but he still has to cover up and make a clever name. When I think of this, I wish I could stop being the emperor immediately.

The so-called blindness is pure, and I have nothing to do with returning the throne to my father and letting them do what they want! "

Cui Wenlong's complexion changed when he heard this, and he rarely showed a rebuttal tone: "The emperor's words are wrong! The Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven, even though he is the Lord of all people, he must follow the way of heaven!

Now the emperor is following the way of heaven.

The emperor is the son of the overlord.Serving the Supreme Emperor and solving the country's worries for the Supreme Emperor, this is the way of heaven, how can it be given up in a moment of enthusiasm!

Could it be that the grand plans and ambitions of the emperor were exhausted before a little He Shanbao? "

Emperor Zhengqing smiled wryly and said, "How can I really put He Shanbao in my eyes. I just can't figure out how the Supreme Emperor would take such a person as my assistant minister and hinder me everywhere."

Cui Wenlong said: "Your Majesty, you don't need to be suspicious. The Supreme Emperor has not been involved in government affairs for many years. It is absolutely impossible to intentionally embarrass the Emperor. It's just that He Shanbao, relying on his seniority and the power of the Supreme Emperor, dared to collude with all parties and embarrass the Emperor.

All of this must not be the original intention of the Supreme Emperor.Weichen believes that as long as he can find out conclusive evidence of his crime, the Supreme Emperor will definitely abolish him without the emperor's action. "

The emperor nodded when he heard this, and said again: "It's just that although this Jia Qing has a suitable status, he is Lin Ruhai's nephew, but after all, he is young and his title is not heavy. As a condolence imperial envoy, will it be...?"

Cui Wenlong thought for a while, then suddenly his eyes lit up and said, "I have a proposal."

"Say it!"

"I remember that since the emperor came to the throne, except for the first year in compliance with the national system, he was granted the sixth palace. For so many years, it is rare to have a concubine.

According to the system, this year should be the year of recruiting talents and recruiting concubines. The Ministry of Rites issued regulations earlier, but the emperor's birthday was postponed soon.

Now that the Supreme Emperor's birthday is over, the imperial court should start to make arrangements for it. "

Emperor Zhengqing said displeased: "Aren't you talking about condolences to the imperial envoy? Why did you suddenly get involved in the selection of concubines!"

Cui Wenlong smiled and said: "Don't blame the emperor, it's just because I happen to know that among the four kings and eight lords who founded the country, the Jia family, which ranks first among the eight lords, happens to have a daughter who plays the role of praise in the harem, and is also Jia Qing's hall. sister.

Why don't the emperor take this opportunity to extend his favor to the Jia family, firstly, it can comfort and appease the heart of the founding hero, and secondly, wouldn't the emperor's previous worries go away? "

When the emperor heard this, he also felt that this move was wonderful.In recent years, he already had the heart to win over former officials.The Four Kings and Eight Dukes are obviously an important group among them.

"Hmph, I found out that Aiqing seems to be very familiar with the Jia family. Even I don't know that the Jia family has a daughter in the palace. How did you know?"

Suddenly, Emperor Zhengqing said.

When Cui Wenlong heard this, he was taken aback.Seeing that there was no suspicion in Emperor Zhengqing's eyes, he breathed a sigh of relief, knelt down and explained: "This minister is guilty. After Mr. Fang entered the cabinet, this minister has been paying attention to him.

Then, I inadvertently learned that he had accepted a descendant of the Eighth Duke as his disciple, that is, Jia Qing.Later, I heard Jia Qing's name as a prodigy again and again, so I fell in love with it, and privately sent someone to inquire about his family's affairs. This humble minister is guilty! "

After all, kowtow to plead guilty.

He couldn't help it either, if Emperor Zhengqing suspected that he was thinking about things in his harem, then he would be in big trouble.Now, only by honestly admitting the crime of privately investigating the minister, can he be suspicious.In fact, none of this is a crime.

Sure enough, he heard Emperor Zhengqing say: "Okay, get up, you care about the government. As a cabinet minister, Mr. Fang Ge has a lot of connections. It's normal for you to want to understand clearly, so you don't have to admit any crimes."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compassion!"

Cui Wenlong kowtowed again, and Fang stood up again.

　After writing for so long, the Grand View Garden is finally about to take shape...
