Red Mansion: Bastards rule the roost

Chapter 150 The Princess Arrives
  The half-deputy Queen Luan drove the ceremonial guard and a group of angels carrying orders, meandering out of the palace and walking to Ningrong Street.

The Jia Mansion had already been notified by the eunuch in the palace, and opened the middle door early and set up the incense table. The old lady, the two masters, and the madam were waiting at the gate to listen to the eunuch. This time it was a good thing. The queen even sent Princess Ruyi comes to visit the old lady in person, which is a great honor.

After a while, the guard of honor arrived, and Princess Luan Yu walked through the gate and did not stop until she was in front of the Rongxi Hall. The eunuchs and maids in the palace each occupied the main entrance and drove out the servants and maids of Jia's family.

The curtain of the sedan chair was opened, and the old lady, Jia She, Jia Zheng and others hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, saying: "I, my concubine, come to see Your Highness Princess Ruyi. May Your Highness be blessed and safe."

Princess Ruyi wears a purple and gold phoenix crown studded with pearls, and wears a court dress with a bright red background and colorful embroidered phoenixes. Around her waist are Yingluo, jade rings, jade pendants, palace ribbons and other objects. Her expression is dignified and peaceful, graceful and luxurious, and she is no longer weird or weird as usual. Looking like this, he raised his jade hand lightly and said with a smile: "No need to be polite. Quickly help the old lady. Today, I am here to see Mrs. Rongguo on the order of my mother. How dare you accept such a great gift?"

"Thank you, Your Highness." Everyone helped Jia Mu to stand up.

"Declare the decree." Princess Ruyi waved her hand gently and closed the sedan curtain again.

"Yes." An Wenyao nodded and stood facing south. The two young eunuchs took out the colorful imperial edict and slowly opened it.

According to the specifications, the imperial edict can be divided into three colors, five colors, and seven colors. If it is given to an official like Jia Zheng, pure white silk will be enough. Now it is not only a seven-color imperial edict, but also uses jade shafts at both ends, which is obviously an extremely important matter.

Everyone knew it with a slight glance, and couldn't help but secretly rejoice, not knowing what a happy event it was.

"The emperor was entrusted with the destiny of heaven, and the book says: I am the king of kings who started from Yijia and Duanzhong in the palace. The leader Kun governs the interior and allows the talents to assist the wing. The love is new and the grace is followed. The surname, born in a noble family, has a fragrant style, is virtuous and courteous, and is graceful and wise. He wears poems and books for training, his voice is brilliant in Yeting, he wears Lunxi with honor, and he favors tin and uses up all the books.

I hereby accept the empress dowager's kind instructions and book you with treasures, and make you the Minister of Fengzao Palace and the virtuous and noble concubine. You only work hard and work hard, support your family and inherit Huiyin, promote your family and country, support your wife and have a good family forever. Qin Zai. "

Everyone was overjoyed and hurriedly kowtowed to express their gratitude and accepted the order. The eldest girl finally came through and was promoted to a virtuous concubine.

Immediately, Princess Ruyi, An Wenyao and others were brought to Rongxi Hall to serve tea. As foreign ministers, Jia She and Jia Zheng did not dare to enter without permission, so they only waited outside the second door. Only the old lady and two other wives were left in the hall.

An Wenyao glanced at it and said with a smile: "Why haven't I seen Mr. Cong, your Qilin son? This time the virtuous concubine met Long En, and Mr. Cong really contributed a lot."

Jia Mu asked curiously: "Why did Lord Angel say this? How can Brother Cong, a young boy, have such ability?"

An Wenyao smiled and said: "Our family dare not talk nonsense about this matter. The Queen has her own words. Your Highness, the slave of the Emperor has finished her mission. Please retire." After that, he gave me a thousand words.

"Go." Princess Ruyi waved her hand, looked around the hall, and said, "You two ladies, go and have a rest. I will have a chat with the old lady."

"Concubine, please leave." The two ladies withdrew.

Seeing that there was no one else around, Princess Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief, took Jia Mu's hand and said with a smile: "Old lady, the queen mother said that Jia Cong has made great contributions in the south of the Yangtze River. His father thought that he was young and should not reward him too much, so he added Thanks to the virtuous concubine.

The queen mother specially ordered Ruyi to come and see you, and invite you to Changchun Palace one day to ask you for advice and guidance of your children. "

Jia Mu stood up hurriedly, and said with stern hands: "I am old and virtuous, and I have neglected to discipline the children at home. As a result, the good and the bad are mixed. I am ashamed day and night. How dare you be the queen to inquire? Your Highness, please report to the empress. This is an honor that is worthy of my concubine." I dare not bear it.”

Princess Ruyi smiled and said: "Old Madam, sit down and say it. There is no one else here, so there is no need to be polite. Before leaving the palace, my mother told me not to be disrespectful to Madam, and Madam must not belittle herself. Ruyi and Concubine Xiande have always been close to each other, so she should be strict with the old Madam. The old lady's courtesy from a junior cannot be too out of line."

Jia Mu smiled and said, "Thank you, Your Highness, for showing me your love. The whole country is deeply grateful for your great virtue."

Princess Ruyi said: "I heard that Jia Cong returned to Beijing, why didn't I see him?"

"Princess Cheng inquires, Brother Cong is like that horse without a bridle. Where can he stay at home? Either he goes to his master's house to practice martial arts, or he practices archery in Dongfu. He gets up early every day and stays late every day, for fear of humiliating the legacy left by his ancestors. Son. We have already sent people to look for him, and we will ask him to kowtow to the princess later." Jia Mu said with a smile.

Princess Ruyi rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "I heard that all the girls in your mansion are beautiful and graceful, and Xue and Lin are both graceful and graceful, which is rare in the world. Can you please come out and meet them?"

She also spent a lot of time inquiring during this period, and almost found out everything about Jia Cong.

"It's rare for His Highness to grant you an audience. This is their honor. Come here, please quickly invite the girls and pay your respects to the princess." Jia Mu said with a smile. After a while, the fragrant wind surged and the rings jingled. Xue, Lin, Sanchun, Xiangyun and others arrived together and met Princess Ruyi.

Ruyi glanced at her, nodded slightly, and stared at Baochai and Daiyu. The two of them lowered their heads shyly, feeling a little strange in their hearts. This princess is so strange. Why is she staring at me?

"When we meet such a beautiful woman, she surpasses all the fairies in the world. She is really so beautiful that I feel pity for her."

Princess Ruyi smiled and said, but she scolded Jia Cong half to death in her heart. You are such a dirty and shameless little thief. You asked you to go back to serve me, but you deceived the girl.

Everyone laughed when they saw the princess talking casually.

Daiyu's face suddenly turned red when she was teased by the princess, and she said softly: "Your Highness is overly complimentary. It's just a temporary game by Brother Cong. How can you take it seriously?"

Princess Ruyi waved her hand and said: "Miss Lin, although I am not as good at writing as you, I also know that if it is not from the heart, how can I have such amazing and beautiful words? You don't have to be too modest. I think what Jia Cong said is quite good. No exaggeration."

Baochai smiled and agreed: "What His Highness said is absolutely true. You girl is now the center of Brother Cong's heart."

Daiyu bit her lip and rolled her eyes at Baochai, "Hey, dear girl, I didn't mess with you, but you actually arranged it for me, huh."

Princess Ruyi smiled and said: "Sister Bao, did Jia Cong write any poems for you?"

Baochai blushed and said hurriedly: "I dare not call you Your Highness, but Brother Cong didn't write any poems for me."

When Daiyu heard this, she turned to look at her, pursed her lips and smiled, but she didn't reveal it.

Princess Ruyi smiled and said: "We meet in private, regardless of the state ceremony. You still don't know. Jia Cong and my two royal brothers call each other brothers, and you and I should call each other sisters."

And when I see Sister Bao being so beautiful, generous, gentle and kind, I can't help but feel close to her. I hope that Sister Bao will not reject me thousands of miles away. In the future, you and I will treat each other like sisters in private, okay? "

Jia Mu looked on with cold eyes and was shocked. Is Jia Cong so close to the two princes? For the Jia family, this is a good thing.

Now that Princess Ruyi has valued Xue and Lin again, she is even more happy. She hurriedly smiled and said: "Since His Highness has an order, you should obey it, so as not to hurt His Highness's loving heart."

Baochai and Daiyu then gave blessings together and said, "I thank you, Your Highness, for your love."

Ruyi was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Okay, from now on I will call you Sister Bao and Sister Bian'er, okay?"

"Everything goes according to Ruyi, sister." The two said.

Ruyi hurriedly asked the two of them to sit together and chatted quietly, and the topic could not be separated from the word Jia Cong.

Suddenly Princess Ruyi laughed and said: "I heard that Jia Cong has a pretty girl named Qingwen who would not trade for any girl in Shenjing. There is also a girl named Qianxue who was snatched from your wife. But. Is this happening?"

Everyone was a little surprised, why did the princess know so much about our family, but she didn't dare to answer randomly, and only looked at Jia Mu.

A trace of doubt flashed in Jia Mu's eyes, and she said with a smile: "Qingwen was given to him by me, and Qianxue was given to him by his wife as a reward. I didn't know that the girl who was talking about it was snatched away, and her own girl, Is it necessary to rob it? Isn’t it a joke?”

"Can you please come and see me?" Princess Ruyi said with a smile.

"What's wrong with a princess meeting? Please tell Qingwen and Qianxue to meet you quickly."
