dream of red mansion

Chapter 726 Abortion
However, Yuan Chun was startled by Emperor Zhengqing's words, and immediately got up and knelt down and said, "Why did the emperor say that, the whole family of my concubines has been favored by the emperor, and even my concubines have been conferred the title of noble concubine by the emperor, the honor is beyond the reach of others.

The concubine is so favored by the emperor, and the gratitude cannot be repaid for a lifetime, so how can it be possible to have such unreasonable thoughts again. "

"Don't be nervous, noble concubine, I just said it casually."

Emperor Zhengqing helped Yuanchun get up.

"Since the concubine was conferred by the emperor, she has been worried day and night, fearing that she is not educated enough, that she will lose the face of the royal family, and that she will fail the emperor's love for the concubine. Therefore, the operations department should be very careful. Don't dare to have a slight negligence and overstepping the rules.

The concubines are already anxious about this, how dare they covet the queen's position?The courtiers and concubines are self-aware, no matter in terms of talent, appearance or self-cultivation, they are not comparable to the previous empresses, so naturally they dare not have such unreasonable thoughts. "

Yuan Chun eloquently spoke.

Hearing Yuan Chun mentioning the former empress, Emperor Zhengqing couldn't help showing a hint of remembrance in his eyes.

How could everyone in the world be able to compare with her?

"The imperial concubine is too modest."

Emperor Zhengqing sat back in his seat and picked up Jia Qing's wonderful letter.

Because he found that although he had seen Jia Qing's signature just now, there was still a page behind, and he didn't know what was written.

After reading it, Emperor Zhengqing looked pensive, then got up and said to Yuan Chun: "I still have something to attend to, so I'll see you later."

Then he left.

"Congratulations to the emperor..."

After seeing Emperor Zhengqing out of the room, Yuan Chun stroked his temples with thoughtful eyes.

The second brother is really a genius.Looking at today's situation, it was exactly as he predicted.

What Jia Qing handed to Yuan Chun were two letters, one was naturally seen by Emperor Zhengqing, and the other was for her.And the letter to her was much longer.

Although she hadn't read the contents of Emperor Zhengqing's letter, in fact Jia Qing had roughly told her about it.

That's why she was able to step on all the key points today, all just right.

She knew that Lin Ruhai had no objection to Jia Qing marrying Daiyu, so she asked Emperor Zhengqing to ask what Lin Ruhai meant.She knew that Jia Qing was going to subsidize the imperial court, no, to be precise, it was to subsidize Emperor Zhengqing's 100 million stone grain, and the purpose was definitely not just to marry Daiyu as his wife.

That's 100 million stone grains. According to the current rate of rising grain prices, if Jia Qing took all of them out and handed them over to traders, he could earn millions of taels in a safe manner.

And that's just what it's worth.

At a time when it was difficult for the imperial court to raise food, Jia Qing's gust of wind was really wonderful.Are you a little excited when you don't see Emperor Zhengqing?
Such a big benefit is not worth it. There is only one benefit that is worth fighting for by Jia Qing, who is so in debt.

back bit.

That's right, only the benefit of helping Yuanchun ascend to the back position is worth it.

If the 100 million shi grains are thrown down, what will the other harem concubines compete with Yuan Chun for?

To put it simply, bribing the emperor showed the irreplaceable value of Yuanchun, so that Emperor Zhengqing had to reward her.

Although it has always been said that the harem does not interfere in politics, how can the former dynasty and the harem really be completely separated?

Why does the emperor have so many concubines in the Sangong and Six Courts, and why does he have to recruit batches of beautiful girls into the palace?Is it really just the emperor's lust?
In fact, not all.

In the harem, except for the civil servants, most of the high-ranking concubines are the daughters of aristocratic families.Could it be that the women of these aristocratic families are more beautiful than the women of the folk?

Naturally not.

In fact, the reason why the harem kept so many noble women was also a means for the emperor to win over and appease his courtiers.

Rewards and punishments are clearly the most basic means of imperial control.The courtiers should be rewarded for their meritorious service, but if the courtiers are rewarded too much, it will inevitably make them powerful and difficult to govern.For example, some ministers who have no rewards will threaten the imperial power if they reward them again.

What should we do at this time?

Naturally, I will also reward!It's not appropriate to reward him, then reward his son, his clan...

But rewarding no one is as important as rewarding his family's daughter to enter the palace and become a concubine.In this way, you will also be rewarded after seeing it, but the reward is still your own woman, what a bargain!

If you do more meritorious service, you will be rewarded again, anyway, your own woman...

This is also a main purpose of the establishment of the Sannomiya Sixth Court.

Jia Qing made such great achievements, it is impossible for Emperor Zhengqing not to consider making Yuanchun his queen.

Therefore, Jia Qing sent the letter to Emperor Zhengqing through Yuanchun, and mentioned topics such as "brother-in-law" and "brother-in-law" in the letter, all of which were vaguely reminding Emperor Zhengqing.

Even from Yuan Chun's point of view, the reason why Jia Qing asked for a marriage was also because of her.After all, if Jia Qing donated 100 million shi of grain and had nothing to ask for, it would be easy for Emperor Zhengqing to doubt his intentions, or it might backfire.

That's why Jia Qing came up with such an excuse to make Emperor Zhengqing suffer too (Jia Qing: Sister, you really think too much...).

If Emperor Zhengqing refused to agree, it would be easier for him to think of Li Yuanchun as empress.

If he agreed, it would be impossible for such a small matter to offset Jia Qing's contribution. In fact, he would remind Emperor Zhengqing all the time that there are many benefits to having a brother-in-law like Jia Qing after Yuanchun is established...

Yuan Chun remembered what Jia Qing said to him when he went home to visit his relatives that year: Sister, you are not alone. Behind you, there is the Jia family and younger brother.The little brother has no other skills, but he has a heart to love his sister...

Yuan Chun walked back into the room with moist eyes, thinking:

It's great to have such a brother...

……

Jiarong Courtyard of Ningguo Mansion.

Ling'er faced the mirror decal, suddenly felt some discomfort in her stomach, and couldn't help but vomit.

Xiaolan had just returned from collecting her clothes, and when she saw this, she hurried over to carry her back.

"Okay, why did you vomit?"

"It's nothing, I just feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach..."

Ling'er didn't care much.

Xiao Lan frowned, and suddenly saw that the plate of strawberries on the high stool next to her had bottomed out.

"Grandma, don't you feel sick?" Xiaolan said with her eyes wide open.

"nonsense……"

Ling'er said this in her mouth, but she couldn't help but panic in her heart.

"What nonsense, you didn't like fruit so much before, and now you've eaten up a whole plate of strawberries. You were nauseous just now, you must be pregnant. Congratulations, grandma, you finally have what you want."

Xiaolan said happily.

She knew that Ling'er hadn't slept with Jia Rong yet, if she was pregnant, who would have the child?

"That damned quack Hu, it doesn't matter if his medical skills are not good, and he cheated us so much money."

Xiaolan was a little annoyed.They secretly went to see Dr. Hu twice, and he told them both times that the aunt was not pregnant.He also made up a whole bunch of nonsense and tricked them into buying a bunch of medicines.

But Xiaolan soon realized something was wrong.Why is there no joy on the face of my aunt, doesn't she want a child so much?

Ling'er rubbed her belly, her brows became deeper and deeper.

He stood up suddenly, went to the side of the cabinet and rummaged through the cabinet.

"Auntie, what are you looking for?" Xiaolan asked.

Ling'er ignored her, and after a long time, she finally found a clean box with loose saffron inside.Ling'er grabbed a handful and stuffed it into her mouth...

"Are you crazy?"

Xiaolan was shocked, and hurried over to snatch the things away.

"It is possible to have an abortion if you eat safflower indiscriminately, don't you know, aunt?"

"give me……"

"No, what's the matter with you, aunt? Didn't you always like the second master and want to give birth to him? Maybe it will succeed now. If so, this is the second master's first child. How can you hurt him? " Xiaolan glared at Linger and said.

A look of pain flashed across Ling'er's face, and she sat down on the bed.

"You don't understand. He can't come at this time. If he comes, we are all finished. Everything is different from what we imagined before. It's my fault. I didn't think carefully. I killed him..."

Ling'er hugged her head and began to cry.

Xiaolan was puzzled, she said: "Why is it different, isn't this the same plan as your aunt and grandma?"

Ling'er shook her head: "No, it's different. What I thought at the time was that even if he doesn't like me anymore, as long as I'm pregnant with his child, for the sake of the child, he doesn't mind me being an extra woman.

However, I never thought that he would leave the capital and go to the front line of the border...

It's all different when he's not at home.

In the past, I only knew that with his ability and means, no matter how special my status was, it would be easy for him to keep his child.

However, I didn't expect that I would not be able to find him in the first place...

If he's not here, I can't keep this child alone!

No one in this family can tolerate this child except me and him!

Once people find out, the child and I can only die..."

At this time, Xiaolan realized that it turned out to be the case.

yes.The second master was not at home, if the family knew that my aunt was having an affair with someone and she was pregnant with a child, they would definitely not be able to get around my aunt, and even the child in her stomach would not be able to survive.

Because the Ningguo Mansion absolutely cannot tolerate such a woman.

But can my aunt tell that she is pregnant with the second master's child?No, it would be a huge scandal right away. In order to cover up such a scandal, even Jia's mother had to take action and deal with their mother and son.

Don't think that Mother Jia and others will be soft-hearted just because she is pregnant with the flesh and blood of the Jia family.

The Jia family's reputation cannot be ruined by them, nor can Jia Qing's reputation be ruined by their mother and son!

For these two points, it is impossible for Mother Jia and others to let any of their mother and child survive.

"Grandma, why don't we tell Wang Shun that he is the second master's confidant, and he will definitely not betray the second master. We asked him to go to the border to find the second master and tell him the news. Then the second master will definitely come back to save his aunt and grandma." of……"

Xiaolan anxiously suggested.

She couldn't bear to watch the child their grandma finally begged for be killed by her own hands.

"That's too late……"

Ling'er let out a miserable laugh.Not to mention how far the border is from Beijing, nor whether Wang Shun can agree to help her, even if Wang Shun really helped him go to the border and found Jia Qing smoothly, it was too late.

Furthermore, she is not sure whether Jia Qing will leave the border affairs behind and come back to save their mother and son...

"Forget it, just treat it as a mother's cruel heart, just pretend that you have never been in this world..." Ling'er caressed her stomach, and wanted to snatch the red flower again.

"No, there must be another way! Perhaps, Auntie, you are not pregnant at all, I guessed wrong." Xiaolan hugged the box firmly in her arms.

She also didn't want to, if she guessed wrong, why didn't Ling'er eat safflower?
Ling'er looked at Xiaolan, a little lost in thought.That's right, even Xiaolan can't bear it, how can her mother bear it?

In fact, based on Linger's city mansion, she knew that there was no other way, but it was definitely something she was unwilling to do.In comparison, it is better to knock out the child, clean it up, and return everything to the original point.

Of course, it would be even better if it was just a false alarm.
