The Red Mansion En Xiaohou

Chapter 97: Meeting Yuanchun, a controversy arose (please subscribe!)
Jia Zheng roared as if there was no one around.

There is nothing like a man of letters here.

"Master Jia, do you still remember what we said?"

Wang Mingde's cold voice sounded.

Jia Zheng fell silent for a moment, calmed down, and Jia She lowered his sleeves.

He really couldn't understand why his brother hated him so much.

He remembered that he was really nice to him when he was a child.

If you get any good stuff, you know how to share it with him.

Why do you hate him so much when your kindness goes unrequited?

What Jia She didn't understand, Jia Zheng didn't understand either.

He didn't know why he hated Jia She so much.

He has been familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics since he was a child, and he understands some major principles.

But when these things really happened to him, he didn't understand them.

I even feel in my heart that what the saint said is wrong.

He and Jia She are both children of their parents, and no one who has the ability should inherit the family business.

How come the order of birth determines life.

Jia Zheng cried in pain.

There was a slight silence.

The emperor sent someone to send Yuanchun.

After all, there are a lot of things about Yuanchun in this letter, such as Prince Zhongxiao saying that he and Yuanchun are in love.

She is willing to make Yuanchun the queen after ascending the throne.

However, Yuanchun's behavior here was different from what was written in this letter.

Yuan Chun, who once worked as an errand in the palace of Princess Zhen and saw the true face of Prince Zhongxiao, had a natural fear of Prince Zhongxiao.

Yuanchun never told anyone else, but it could be seen from the change in her demeanor when she saw Prince Zhongxiao.

It was precisely because of this contrast that the emperor called Yuan Chun.

He wanted to find out the relationship between Yuanchun and Prince Zhongxiao, and at the same time, he wanted to know something about the mother and son from Yuanchun's mouth.

After a while, Yuan Chun walked in under the leadership of Wang Mingde.

Jia Zheng's eyes turned red when he saw Yuanchun.

Yuanchun was only slightly shocked, and then suppressed his emotions.

She is no longer the simple and innocent Yuanchun she used to be. As early as when she entered the palace, she knew how to hide her emotions.

"I have seen Your Majesty!"

Yuanchun saluted the emperor.

The emperor nodded lightly.

"Get up, that's your father."

The emperor pointed at Jia Zheng towards Yuan Chun. He wanted to see Yuan Chun's reaction when he saw Jia Zheng.

Yuanchun followed the direction pointed by the emperor and saw no reaction.

Disappointment flashed in the emperor's eyes.

Seeing his father in this state, there was no reaction at all. There were only two situations.

One is that he has a bad relationship with his biological father, and the other is that he has a deep mind and does not express his emotions easily.

What kind of Yuanchun is it?

The emperor began to guess in his mind.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Yuanchun stood by himself, looking at his kneeling, inhuman father. Yuanchun finally had a trace of emotion in his eyes.

"master!"

Yuan Chun cried.

How can a wanderer not miss his family, and how can a wanderer not miss his relatives?

When she was at home, she was brought up by an old lady and had little impression of her father. Every time she saw Jia Zheng, he had a straight face.

But from the bottom of her heart, she still has a affection for Jia Zheng, and now her father is right in front of her.

But she was a little at a loss, not knowing what kind of face she should use to see him.

Jia Zheng's tears also flowed down.

Yuanchun has been obedient since she was a child. Although he rarely met Yuanchun, he didn't have any feelings for her.

On the contrary, his feelings for her were more than Baoyu's.

"I'm sorry for you, my daughter."

The father and daughter hugged each other and cried.

This affectionate relationship between father and daughter reminded the emperor of his eldest daughter, Princess Hengyang.

Princess Hengyang is stationed at the border all year round, and she is not seen for several years once she leaves.

It is very different from this Yuanchun.

They are all at the age when they should be acting coquettishly in their parents' arms, staying away from their parents and facing the wind and rain outside alone.

Wang Deming comforted the emperor appropriately.

"Your Majesty, the eldest princess has returned home now. If you miss her, just ask her to come to the palace."

The emperor wiped his own tears.

"I'm afraid she doesn't want to come see me."

Wang Deming sighed deeply.

"Your Majesty was forced to do so. He did not do what he wanted, so he made this decision. The eldest princess can understand you."

When the emperor first ascended the throne, the court was unstable.

The Supreme Emperor suffered a stroke, and the court was in chaos. The Northwestern Tatars wanted to imitate the old affairs of the Turks, and took advantage of Daqian's unpreparedness, and went south to Daqian, hoping to take over Daqian and replace him.

However, the Tatars' strength was limited after all. They only reached Taiyuan and were stopped.

In order to ensure the stability of the country, the emperor, under the appeal of his ministers, decided to marry the princess.

The candidate is the 13-year-old Princess Hengyang.

The emperor was very reluctant to do this and had to agree due to pressure from the court.

Princess Hengyang has a strong personality since she was a child. She inherited the talent from her mother's family, is skilled in bow and horse, and is quite good at attacking.

After learning about this, he immediately took the money from the princess's palace and fled Kyoto alone.

He drew a team of refugees and started a guerrilla war with the Tatars in the lost land north of Taiyuan.

With the help of the right time, location, and people, Princess Hengyang single-handedly united with the northwest defenders to repel the Tatars.

Princess Hengyang who returns will no longer be the same Princess Hengyang as before.

She is another princess in history who has soldiers in her hands.

The emperor sighed deeply.

After all, it was he, the father, who felt sorry for Hengyang, and he would ask her to help him protect the country later.

How could he have the nerve to force her to come see him.

Do something she doesn't want to do.

The father and daughter, who had been crying for a long time, calmed down.

Only then did Yuanchun see Jia She Jia Jing standing on one side and Jia Shan sitting on the other side.

For Jia She, Yuanchun is not like her father.

On the contrary, I respect him very much.

Yuanchun stood up from the ground and saluted Jia Shejia.

"Respect uncle, why is uncle here?"

Looking at the sensible Yuanchun, Jia She felt sorry for her in his heart.

It's a pity that a good girl's life was ruined just because of her father.

Jia She and Jia Jing smiled and nodded slightly towards Yuan Chun.

Jia Shan stood up from her seat and saluted Yuan Chun.

"I've met Sister Yuan."

Yuanchun quickly helped Jia Shan up.

"Brother Shan, you're welcome."

Wang Deming coughed, and everyone's eyes turned back to the emperor again.

The emperor asked Wang Deming to deliver the letter from Jia Zheng and Prince Zhongxiao to Yuanchun.

Yuan Chun took the letter from Wang Deming and first saluted the emperor.

It was opened with the emperor's consent.

He read the letter.

The more Yuanchun watched, the more shocked he became, and the more he watched, the more unbelievable he became.

This was something her slightly pedantic father did after seeing what Prince Zhongxiao did to Jia Zhengchengruo.

Yuanchun fell to the ground suddenly.

The letters in his hand were scattered on the floor, and his eyes were full of despair.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

"My father has been mentally ill since he was a child. He always does ridiculous things. Please forgive me."

Now that the evidence is conclusive and the handwriting on it is all Jia Zheng's, what else can I do besides admitting my mistake and asking for a little mercy from the emperor.

I have to say that Yuanchun is really sober.In this regard, even Jia Zheng's flattery can't compare.

Wang Deming collected the letters scattered on the ground.

The emperor's eyes fell on Yuanchun.

"Not long ago, my good brother asked me to marry you. You cried and shouted that you didn't want to marry him. Now he says in this letter that he is in love with you and wants to make you his queen. How should you explain it?"

The emperor asked Yuanchun.

Yuan Chun raised his head from knocking on the ground, a flash of determination flashed in his eyes.

"I can't explain it!"

"Since ancient times, when it comes to matters of love, women have always been unable to defend themselves. If I ask my daughter to explain, I will have no choice but to die."

"Please also ask Your Majesty to spare my family."

Yuanchun was about to hit the pillar.

Jia She and Jia Jing quickly stopped him.

"Eldest niece, everything has a family, you can't die without thinking about it."

Yuan Chun sat slumped on the ground, hugged Jia She and began to cry wildly.

When the emperor saw this scene, his eyes were filled with unpredictable emotions and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Jia She stood up and saluted the emperor.

"Your Majesty, I can vouch for my niece. My niece has absolutely nothing to do with the loyal and filial prince."

"I can also testify."

Jia Jing followed Jia She and saluted the emperor.

Jashan glanced at the two of them and stood up as well.

"I can also testify."

The emperor looked at the two adults and one child and couldn't help but smile.

"You haven't seen her for many years, how can you confirm it and how can you testify?"

Jia She sighed deeply.

"My niece Naichen has watched her grow up since she was a child. Unlike her father and mother, she is smart and stable, and sees things clearly. She cannot do this."

"Can't do this?"

The emperor laughed loudly. Most of the people who could come to this palace were ambitious people, and once people become ambitious, they will become bold.

How can it be certain that this cannot be done?

What's more, she entered the palace to be his concubine, which further confirms her ambition.

The emperor's eyes flashed with sarcasm.

Jia She kept looking at the emperor's face out of the corner of his eye. Knowing what the emperor meant by his words, Jia She hurriedly spoke.

"Your Majesty, would you like to hear what I have to say about my miserable niece?"

Hearing what Jia She said, the emperor became interested.

As the legitimate daughter of Rongguo Mansion, how could she be related to misery? The emperor signaled Jia She to continue.

Jia She spoke again.

"Your Majesty, have you ever seen parents who push their daughters into a den of jackals, tigers and leopards, regardless of their wishes, for the sake of their own power?"

"Bold!"

The "pit of jackals, tigers and leopards" in Jia She's mouth refers to the palace. Wang Deming, who heard the meaning of Jia She's words, immediately roared at Jia She.

The emperor waved his hand at Wang Deming, who was pretending to be angry.

Wang Deming shut up appropriately, but secretly agreed with Jia She's words in his heart.

This is indeed the pit of jackals, tigers and leopards.

Inhabited by very hungry tigers and leopards.

"Go on!"

The emperor signaled Jia She to continue.

Jia She saluted the emperor again.

"My niece grew up with my mother. She has never been raised badly. She has been well-behaved and polite since she was a child. I would like to thank my niece for coming."

"Your Majesty must have heard about what kind of life I lived in those days. My mother didn't like me. She scolded me for three days and then one for five days."

"If it weren't for my niece's occasional help, I would have been unable to bear it long ago and would have committed suicide in shame of my ancestors."

The emperor waved his hand impatiently.

"What does this have to do with this matter? There are a few people in Kyoto who don't know about your family's bullshit. That is to say, you are stupid and asked your mother to join forces with your brother to suppress it for so long."

Jia She touched his nose embarrassedly.

That's what happened, but everything has to be foreshadowed. If we don't mention this, how can we show the difference between Yuanchun and his mother.

Jia She saluted the emperor again.

"Your Majesty, please listen."

"The most important thing is, don't mention your nonsense again."

The emperor threw a zhezi on Jia She's body. Jia She respectfully picked up the zhezi and handed it back to the emperor with a low eyebrow.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the next step is crucial."

"My niece actually didn't want to enter the palace. It was her mother who forced her to come in."

"Oh?"

The emperor's interest was aroused. There were indeed many in the palace like this, including his concubines.

But looking at Yuanchun's performance, it doesn't look like it!

Jia She took a peek at the emperor's mood and saw that the emperor's interest was aroused.

Immediately talk about that bullshit thing.

It's just that Jia Zheng's official position will not be moved, and no one in his family can rely on him.

Brother has no way out and a series of things.

Especially when it comes to Jia Zhu's death.

Yuanchun was the name given to Xiaoxuan one year after Jia Zhu's death.

The emperor gradually became convinced.

This kind of thing is not unusual, Yuanchun cried softly.

The emperor glanced at Yuanchun and then looked at Jia She again.

"How does this prove that your niece has no relationship with Prince Zhongxiao?"

Jia She was startled, this couldn't be proved.

Jashan stood up with a sullen face.

"Minister, I can prove it."

The emperor's eyes wandered back and forth between Jia She and Jia Shan.

Jia Jing laughed, his eyes crooked, he had already guessed how Jia Shan proved it.

Jashan spoke silently.

"I have a question for Your Majesty."

"You ask!"

The emperor, who had a good impression of Jia Shan, asked Jia Shan to ask.

Jia Shan saluted the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the question is very simple. If Your Majesty were a woman who admired Prince Zhongxiao, would you choose to leave the palace or stay in the palace to help him monitor you and perform meritorious service for him."

The emperor was silent for a moment.

She must have stayed in the palace. Yuanchun was once a palace maid, and her life experience was not outstanding.

If he wanted to fight his way through his younger brother's backyard, he could only do meritorious service for him.

Jia Shan smiled slightly, he already had the answer in the emperor's mind.

"My sister was originally going to leave the palace."

"Your Majesty doesn't know something. Although I was born a little late, I have always been thinking about this eldest sister in the palace."

"Last time, His Majesty sent a minister to the palace. I met my sister who was on duty outside His Majesty's palace and learned that my sister was unwilling to stay in the palace."

"I asked Wu Shoubei, whom I met by chance on the way down to the south of the Yangtze River, to help me. I asked him to send a message to Empress Wu in the palace, asking her to help my sister get out of the palace."

"If you don't believe it, your Majesty can call Empress Wu to ask if this is the case."

Jashan said this.

The emperor felt somewhat convinced and immediately asked Wang Deming to call Concubine Wu.

It was also when Concubine Wu was angry with Concubine Zhen that she had nowhere to vent her anger.

Recently, she had been tortured a lot by Princess Zhen.

I don't think the Supreme Emperor is a sensible person.

This Concubine Zhen is not her serious mother-in-law, why should she serve her like the Queen Mother.

Just because she is favored?

After a while, Wang Deming arrived at Concubine Wu's bedroom.

Concubine Wu was having fun holding her daughter when a palace official came in to announce that Wang Mingde was here.

Concubine Wu's expression changed subconsciously.

It's not like Concubine Zhen will sue her again.

Resigned to her fate, Concubine Wu settled down with her princess and prepared to listen to the Emperor's reprimand.
