Jia Daishan left the imperial palace.
As soon as he arrived at the garden, he met the disciple of Prince Zhongshun. Jia Daishan was disgusted.
However,
He was a prince after all.
Jia Daishan could only go over to greet him.
"Greetings, Prince." Jia Daishan saluted.
"Why did Duke Rongguo come to the palace today? Didn't you say that you were not in good health?" Disciple asked with a smile.
"I miss the Retired Emperor.
So I came to pay my respects. "Jia Daishan said expressionlessly. Seeing that Prince Zhongshun refused to ask him to get up,
He got up on his own.
To be honest, at his level,
Even the Emperor.
Would not let him be so rude for so long.
"Could it be that something happened to the Jia family?
Father is wise.
He values relationships very much, especially with old officials.
He simply grants every request.
Presumably, Brother is very angry. "Disciple? He looked at Jia Daishan.
His eyes were full of provocation.
"Prince Zhongshun is a roundworm in the Emperor's stomach. I will take my leave first." Jia Daishan sneered. This Prince Zhongshun was also funny.
He wanted to provoke him here.
Although he did not understand what he meant,
However, it was obvious that it was not a good idea. Jia Daishan was very tired of it. He just wanted to dump her and go back.
"Don't worry, I also want to leave the palace. Duke Rongguo, let's go together." He followed Jia Daishan with a smile. Although his words were not pleasant to hear, from a distance, he seemed to be very close to Jia Daishan.
Jia Daishan was silent. He followed him and chattered non-stop. After all, he was a prince. He could not do anything to him. Jia Daishan could only ignore him. He just wanted to leave the palace as soon as possible.
Disciple? But he did not care about Jia Daishan's cold face. He followed behind him and chattered non-stop.
Jia Daishan sat in the carriage heading back to Rongguo Province at the palace gate. Only then did he stop. With a smile, he got into the carriage and returned to his mansion. It didn't matter if he couldn't win over the Jia Daishan. What mattered was that his good imperial brother would think that he had won over the Jia Daishan. These days, he couldn't go to the opera house again. He had to make a few more trips to Rongguo Province.
After Jia Daishan left the Retired Emperor's palace, the Retired Emperor immediately asked Zhu Lin to invite the Emperor over.
"Imperial Father, why do you suddenly want to go to the Imperial Tombs?" Tu Chen was puzzled.
"Last night, I dreamed of your Imperial Grandfather. He said that he was a little lonely, so I went to the Imperial Mausoleum to accompany him," said the Retired Emperor.
"Then this subject will accompany you." Tu Chen felt that something was amiss. Imperial Father wanted to go to the Imperial Mausoleum because Duke Rongguo said something.
"Emperor, you are the ruler of the world and Da Qian still needs you. How can you leave? I will be back soon. It won't take long, "said the Retired Emperor.
"Then I will ask the Ministry of Rites to prepare an imperial carriage for you." Tu Chen didn't insist. Even if he didn't go, he could always send someone else.
"Yes." The Retired Emperor nodded.
"Madam, I heard that there is a younger sister in the mansion?" Jia Yao threw himself on Xia Lu and stared at Xia Lu with wide eyes. Obviously, he was very curious about his younger sister.
"Not a younger sister, but a niece." Xia Lu thought: Qin Keqing was the daughter of the Jia Zhen's cousin, and Jia Yao was the Jia Zhen's biological brother. If she wasn't a niece, then who was she? He couldn't mess up the seniority, even though this niece was older than him by a year.
"Niece?" Jia Lian, Jia Yao, and Lin Jinyu were all confused.
"Alright, come here. Don't pester your sister-in-law. You are all grown up. You are all men now." The Jia Zhen waved at the three little kids. He was very dissatisfied. These three little brats were really outrageous.
"Oh." Jia Yao and the others were very unhappy. They wanted a sweet sister-in-law and didn't want a tough big brother. However, the Jia Zhen had accumulated power for a long time. When the three little kids heard the Jia Zhen's call, they could only go over.
"Seeing that you three little brats are so energetic, from today onwards, you will learn martial arts from me," said the Jia Zhen.
"Learn martial arts?" The three little kids were still confused.
"That's right. Although we are scholars, we will need physical strength when we take the imperial examinations in the future. If you don't want to go in vertically, then come out horizontally." The Jia Zhen looked at the three little kids who only reached his thighs. He was very satisfied with the idea he came up with. Not only could it train their bodies, but it would also exhaust their energy. This way, they wouldn't have time to pester their wives.
Xia Lu wouldn't interfere with the Jia Zhen's idea. She thought it was quite good. However, Jinyu's body had to be taken care of. He couldn't train with the same intensity as Jia Yao and Jia Lian. "Keep an eye on Jinyu. His body hasn't fully recovered yet," said Xia Lu.
"Don't worry, I will take good care of this little brat." The Jia Zhen patted Jinyu's head.
Seeing that Xia Lu had agreed, the three little kids had no choice but to start learning martial arts from the Jia Zhen no matter how unwilling they were. When the three little kids started learning martial arts, Xia Lu was the happiest. Every time this happened, Xia Lu would bring a stool over and sit at the side to watch the fun. It was especially fun to watch the three little kids stretch their short legs, stretch their legs, and stretch their arms. They looked very serious, but they couldn't even stand properly.
"Madam, Madam Qin wants to see you," Zi Jing came over to report.
Xia Lu was a little confused. Why did Miss Xiaozhi want to see her? Was it because the servants in the residence didn't serve her well enough? "Bring her over." Xia Lu didn't want to guess. In any case, she just needed to serve her well now. When the emperor emeritus came back from the imperial tomb, there would be an ending. In any case, she wouldn't have to raise this little girl in the end.
Thinking of this, Xia Lu felt a little strange. In this life, the Jia Daishan had told the emperor emeritus about Qin Keqing's identity. Then why didn't he tell anyone about Qin Keqing's identity in the original novel? Xia Lu didn't understand, but the only thing was that she would never raise Qin Keqing.
Not to mention raising her well, Qin Keqing could be taught well and become a lady of a noble family. She had seen too much of the story of the farmer and the snake in her previous life. She had even seen the news report about a couple who adopted a daughter. The wife raised the girl as her own daughter. In the end, the girl grew up and got together with the husband. There was also the story of Crescent Moon. Although Crescent Moon seduced her son and husband at the same time, all men loved beauty. She still had three little boys here. If they all had a good impression of Qin Keqing, she wouldn't even have a place to cry.
Although it was better to let it out than to block it, what if it couldn't be cleared? She had been with Jia Zhen for so many years. If she said that she didn't have any feelings for her, it would definitely be a lie. She clearly knew that she was a love rival, but she still kept her by her side and tried to teach her well. Forget it. She was afraid that she would lose both love and kinship in the end.
No matter what, it didn't matter if she was narrow-minded or selfish. Ningguo Province would not accept Qin Keqing. As for the fact that she didn't raise Qin Keqing and Qin Keqing was still with Jia Zhen like in the original novel, it could only be said that fate was playing tricks on people. In the end, what she lost was only love. It wasn't too bad.
"Countess." Xiao Zhi was brought over by Zi Jing, but Qin Keqing didn't come. Xiao Zhi bowed to Xia Lu first.
"Get up, Zi Yuan. Take a seat," Xia Lu said.
"Yes." Zi Yuan quickly went down and brought a chair over for Xiao Zhi. At this time, Bi Yue served tea.
Xiao Zhi sat down, took the tea, and took a small sip.
"Why are you here?" Xia Lu asked gently.
Xiao Zhi glanced at the maidservants serving around her. Xia Lu instantly understood. She was afraid that they had mentioned Qin Keqing's matter. Xia Lu asked these maidservants to leave.
"The young princess's matter, um … How is it?" Xiao Zhi said hesitantly. Although Ningguo Province served them well with good food and drinks, she was worried as long as this matter was not resolved.
"I've already told the emperor emeritus," Xia Lu said.
"What?" Xiao Zhi was shocked. The teacup in her hand fell to the ground. Told the emperor emeritus? How could the Crown Prince tell the emperor emeritus when he made such a big mistake? If the emperor emeritus was still angry, then the young princess would be in danger. Xiao Zhi was so scared that her face turned pale.
"Madam?" The maidservant outside heard the sound of the teacup breaking and called out.
"It's okay. You all wait outside first," Xia Lu said.
"Yes."
Xiao Zhi came back to her senses and looked at Xia Lu. After thinking for a while, she knelt in front of Xia Lu. "Madam, how can you tell the emperor emeritus? The Crown Prince, the Crown Prince has committed a big crime. "Xiao Zhi recalled the expression on the side consort's face when she handed the young princess to her. Her heart was dead and she was ready to die. Now that the emperor emeritus knew about the young princess's identity, how could she survive?
"Don't worry. The emperor emeritus has feelings for the Crown Prince. He will definitely not pursue the matter of the Crown Prince's only flesh and blood." Xia Lu got down from the chair and came to Xiao Zhi's side to help her up. This was what a loyal servant was like in ancient times. To be honest, she could not accept this kind of thinking, but she admired it very much. "Don't you want the young princess to regain her identity as a member of the royal family? Continue to hide with you? Can she only marry a country bumpkin in the future? Spend all her time playing with pots and pans? "
Xiao Zhi slowly stood up in a daze. She knew very well what Xia Lu meant. The young princess was now under her name. Her Husband was just a farmer, so the young princess could only marry a farmer. Even if Ningguo Province helped her husband get a small official in the capital, the young princess would not be able to marry into a good family in the future. Even if Madam took the young princess as her goddaughter, the young princess would not be able to marry into a rich family.
"Don't worry. As long as the young princess's identity is real, she will return to the royal family. At that time, the young princess will receive the best education and be worthy of the best man in the world," Xia Lu comforted her.
"The emperor emeritus isn't angry?" Xiao Zhi was still a little uneasy.
"If the emperor emeritus is angry, he won't go to the Imperial Mausoleum to confirm it now. It's because he knows that the young princess is the Crown Prince's only flesh and blood that he traveled thousands of miles to confirm it. Don't worry, there is still Ningguo Province. If the emperor emeritus is really angry, Ningguo Province will not be able to get away with it," Xia Lu comforted her carefully.
"Thank you, Madam." Xiao Zhi was slightly relieved.
"You just have to accompany the young princess these days. Don't think about anything, understand?" Xia Lu said.
