Chapter 224 Yuan Ying visits the four sisters
In the complicated situation of the Forbidden City, Jia Yuanchun is like a drifting fallen leaf, quietly living in a remote palace.
Because he was not favored, few people came to disturb him.
Life is as dull as water.
Jia Yuanchun had long been accustomed to it, and only when she missed her family would a faint sadness well up in her heart.
That evening, Jia Yuanchun was sitting alone in front of the window, holding a collection of poems in her hand, reading quietly.
Wind chimes are hung on the eaves of the palace. Whenever the breeze blows, they make crisp sounds, as if whispering the secrets within the palace walls.
suddenly!
The silence was broken by the sound of hurried footsteps, and a maid ran in and reported:
"Master, the Empress Dowager has summoned you to Shoukang Palace."
Jia Yuanchun was extremely surprised when she heard this, because the Empress Dowager was the ancestor of the palace and few people could be summoned by her.
I am just a small person in a remote palace, but I was suddenly summoned. I don’t know whether it is a blessing or a curse?
Despite her uneasiness, Jia Yuanchun quickly calmed herself down, changed into a dignified palace dress, and followed the eunuch to Shoukang Palace.
……
"Yuanchun, do you know why you were summoned here?"
Empress Dowager Zhen Huan sat on the couch with a gentle smile on her face.
Jia Yuanchun bowed respectfully and replied:
"I am ignorant and don't know why the Empress Dowager summoned me."
The Grand Empress Dowager smiled slightly, picked up an imperial edict from the small table beside her, and slowly unfolded it:
"Today, I want to give you a great gift. The emperor has issued an edict to make you a noble concubine. You will move into the new palace immediately and enjoy the honor you deserve."
Jia Yuanchun was stunned for a moment.
Royal concubine?
This sudden honor made her feel a little overwhelmed and even terrified.
She had dreamed of being favored by the emperor, but had been repeatedly frustrated. She had given up hope long ago and had never expected that it would come true inexplicably.
This was too abnormal. Jia Yuanchun knelt down subconsciously and wanted to refuse.
Then Zhen Huan said, "Yuanchun, I heard that your brother was born with a jade in his mouth and is quite spiritual. Now the fairy bamboo has appeared in the Jia family, which shows that your family is blessed."
"I, the Emperor, and the Retired Emperor all want to visit you, so I'm allowing you to go home and visit your family. Try to bring Wenzhu into the palace."
Jia Yuanchun suddenly realized that a spiritual object had appeared in her home, but she didn't know whether it was true or false, or whether it was a blessing or a curse.
But she didn't dare to refuse. After receiving the order, she prepared to leave the palace and go home to visit her family.
……
Time moves forward.
When Longyue left the Jia Mansion.
Wang Xifeng immediately asked:
"Keqing, why don't you present the asparagus bamboo to the Empress Dowager? That would be a rare opportunity. We could get a reward, and the Bamboo Fairy could also get help from the royal family in her cultivation."
It seems that he is asking Qin Keqing, but in fact he is seeking answers from Cao Rui.
Qin Keqing warned seriously:
"Sister Feng, the asparagus fern is a spiritual creature and we cannot control it. If it grows legs and runs away one day, it will be a crime of deceiving the emperor."
Wang Xifeng thought about it and it made sense. Mr. Zhu was about to leave, but he turned back to reverse the fate of her and her daughter Qiaojie.
You really can't ask for too much.
Wang Xifeng took a deep breath, completely suppressed the greed in her heart, and talked about another matter:
"Tomorrow is the day when Sister Yingchun returns home. Since the eldest girl entered the palace, our Jia family hasn't had any festive events for a long time. We must prepare well and make it lively."
Qin Keqing agreed.
Cao Rui originally wanted to leave and regain his humanity, but then he heard that tomorrow was the day Jia Yingchun would return home, so he was too lazy to bother anymore and simply stayed overnight at Tianxiang Tower and went back with Jia Yingchun tomorrow.
This evening.
It started to drizzle from the sky, completely soaking the Tianxiang Tower.
……
The next day, all the women in the Jia family gathered together.
There was anticipation, curiosity and anxiety on their faces, and their eyes all fell on Wang Xifeng.
It seemed that they had discussed it in advance.
Tanchun took the lead and said, "Sister Feng, our second sister is coming home today, why don't we ask the Bamboo Fairy to do some divination for her?"
The others echoed the sentiment, not wanting Yingchun to suffer misfortune for no apparent reason.
Wang Xifeng looked embarrassed when she heard this.
Mr. Zhu has grown legs and left.
Fortunately, before leaving, he managed to make her rich and powerful, and put her in touch with Princess Longyue, which might have completely reversed the fate of the Jia family.
But the fate of the couple has not been decided yet, so it is not easy to explain to others, so as not to add unnecessary variables.
Wang Xifeng was about to find an excuse to shirk her responsibility when she suddenly noticed that Qin Keqing was missing from the crowd.
She now feels that she is completely unable to see through this close friend of hers. She always feels that she is an extraordinary person, otherwise how could she be related to the Bamboo Fairy? Princess Longyue's fairy master also seems to know her.
"Sisters, please be patient and wait for me to go to Tianxiang Tower and invite Keqing to come."
Everyone felt a little puzzled after hearing this, but they still laughed:
"Sister Feng, please go quickly and come back soon. We will be waiting for you here."
……
Wang Xifeng said goodbye to her sisters and hurried to Tianxiang Tower with two maids. From a distance, she saw Jia Rong waiting at the door with his hands and feet timidly in his arms. She had an idea and stepped forward to ask:
"Brother Rong, why are you just waiting at the door? Why don't you go in? But Keqing hasn't gotten up yet?"
"sister in law."
Jia Rong's scalp tingled. He thought to himself, how could I dare to go in? I didn't dare to do so before, and I don't dare to do so now. But it's not good for outsiders to know about it. He laughed and said:
"I just came out. Keqing was tired yesterday and is still sleeping now. Sister-in-law, please go in and wait for her. I have something to do and I'll leave first."
After saying this, he left with a high spirit.
Wang Xifeng spat on the ground in disgust. How could such a useless son of a bitch be born into the Jia family?
And Qin Keqing actually raised bamboo fairies in Tianxiang Tower, and she must have watered and fertilized them a lot.
When Wang Xifeng thought of that scene, she couldn't help but become jealous. She asked two maids to guard the door while she rushed in to catch the adulterer.
"Second Madam Lian, what are you doing?"
As soon as Wang Xifeng rushed in, Ping'er stood up to stop her and refused to let her go upstairs.
It would be useless even if she brought out her former master's identity.
It didn't take long.
Qin Keqing was wearing an outer coat, looking lazy, her skin was pink and white with a hint of red, she was so charming.
"Feng Lazi, why are you here so crazy so early in the morning?"
Wang Xifeng knew that she had missed the opportunity and had not caught her best friend, so she could only laugh and say:
"My sisters wanted Zhuxian to tell Yingchun's fortune, but Zhuxian has left. I don't have any ideas, so I came to ask you."
Qin Keqing had long known that Jia Yingchun's fate had been changed by Cao Rui.
She was happy to do a favor, and after a moment's thought, she said:
"When Sister Yingchun got married, I asked Zhuxian about it. She said it was neither good nor bad."
"When you meet a weak willow, you will encounter a vicious wolf, and your tears will run out, and your beauty will die young."
"what!"
Wang Xifeng was shocked when she heard this. He had died a long time ago, so how could he have anything to do with the word "good"?
Qin Keqing waved her hand, asking her to calm down, and continued reading:
"Sister Yingchun's fate was truly tragic, but luckily she was blessed by God and her fate was reversed."
"If you meet the wrong man, your beauty will die.
But a chance encounter changes the world, and the wheel of fate begins a new chapter.
Not a good man, not a bad wolf, just a strange man met by accident.
With a kind heart and a will as strong as steel, he helped her escape from her predicament and spread her wings. "
Wang Xifeng didn't read much, she only knew that Jia Yingchun didn't seem to have done anything but succeeded in changing her fate, she was really envious.
She was eager to go back and report the success story to her sisters to boost their morale:
"Sister Keqing, please change your clothes and come here quickly. I'll go first."
Wang Xifeng returned to the Grand View Garden and repeated the story to the girls.
I thought everyone would be delighted.
Unexpectedly, all the girls looked at each other in bewilderment, some even blushed.
Wang Xifeng asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Why are you reacting like this?"
Tanchun hurried to smooth things over: "Second sister is indeed right and wrong, but she has finally escaped the quagmire of fate."
It just seems like there is suspicion of cheating, but it is not easy to discuss openly.
at the same time.
Elsewhere in the Jia Mansion, Jia Yingchun was being harshly treated by her father Jia She.
Jia She looked at the list of gifts that Jia Yingchun brought back, his face gloomy, and he scolded loudly:
"What on earth are these things you brought back? They are so meager. How could I have given birth to such a useless thing as you who can't even win a man's heart?"
In the past, Yingchun, who was cowardly by nature, would have been scared into a quail.
But now she has Cao Rui to lean on, and she doesn't want to move her in-laws' things to her father who makes her feel so depressed, so she musters up the courage to argue:
"Dad, this is already a lot."
"How dare you talk back!"
Jia She became furious and picked up something and threw it at him.
