The Qingxu Temple was abbot of Taoist Zhang, the Immortal of the End. Since Taoist Zhang was the substitute of the late Duke of Rong since he was young, the Qingxu Temple had a close relationship with Rong Mansion.
It was a cool day, and Old Lady Jia had a sudden urge to go out for a stroll, so she brought her whole family of women, escorted by Jia Zhen and his son, to the monastery.
Not long after the tour, they heard a commotion outside.
Old Lady Jia was unhappy and ordered Jia Zhen to go out and inquire about the report.
Jia Zhen looked carefully from the steps. The deacon leading the way outside the monastery was not an ordinary person. He must be from a noble family in the Divine Capital. She thought to herself, could it be that he knew the old lady was coming and hurried over to meet her?
She hurriedly went down the steps to welcome him.
Who knew that when he reached the door, the guards stopped him outside without saying anything. The servants of the Jia family were chased away.
Jia Zhen frowned and shouted,"Whose team is this?"”
One of the officers sized up Jia Zhen. Seeing that he was not dressed like an ordinary person, he asked,"Who are you?"
Jia Zhen felt that she had some face in the capital, but seeing that they didn't recognize her, she said angrily,""Ask your master to come out and speak!"
The young man snorted." Who wants to know you? Move aside! Don't block the way!"
After a few shoves, Jia Zhen lost all her face, and this was in her own Daoist temple.
The manservants of the Rong and Ning Manors were gathered behind Jia Zhen, blocking the way.
"No matter who you are, it's best that you disperse quickly! Otherwise, when our adults come, they won't be as easy to talk to as me.”
Hearing his tone, Jia Zhen guessed that his master must care about him. After thinking for a moment, she didn't want to cause any more trouble and cupped her hands."I am Jia Zhen of the Ningguo Manor. May I ask who your esteemed master is?”
When the colonel heard this, he couldn't help but laugh with his companions." You're General Jia Zhen, a Third Rank Noble? Jia Rong is your son?"
Jia Zhen was very unhappy. She straightened her back and said proudly,"I am Jia Zhen!" If they didn't see that they were all carrying swords and knives, they would have asked someone to take action long ago.
The small school said," Enemies are bound to meet on a narrow road!”It made Jia Zhen's heart skip a beat. Her family had a few enemies in the capital, but very few had the need for such extravagance.
Jia Zhen already had a clue and dismissed the servant behind him." May I ask if your subordinate is under the loyal and obedient king?”
"General Jia, you're quite knowledgeable!" the colonel said with a smile.”He casually cupped his hands." Our Princess Consort is passing by to offer incense. Those who have no business here should quickly retreat!”
Wasn't Princess Zhongshun the Qin?
Jia Zhen's face lit up. Indeed, enemies meet on a narrow road!
At this moment, Commander Ji rode over on his horse. Seeing that there were still people blocking the mountain gate, he shouted,"What are you doing? Still not dispersing? The princess consort's palanquin was about to arrive. Whoever dared to stop him would have their legs broken and thrown aside!”
He instructed his subordinates to set up a guard and glanced at Jia Zhen. They were not familiar with each other in the past and had not been close recently. There were even a few nods of fate.
His expression immediately changed to one of passion. He dismounted and cupped his hands."So it's General Jia! Nice to meet you!"
Jia Zhen couldn't turn hostile at this time, so he smiled and cupped his hands.""Commander Ji, we haven't seen each other for a long time!”He looked up the road. Why are you guys so grand?"
Commander Ji smiled and said," Our princess is returning to her hometown. I happened to pass by this place and thought of burning incense to worship the gods. I came in to rest for the time being!" Why, are you here to burn incense too?" His expression became unfriendly.
Jia Zhen quickly said,"However, I accompanied my old lady and the women of my family out for a walk and didn't know that the Princess Consort had arrived."”
The two of them did not have time to explain in detail. A group of Taoist priests in Taoist robes hurried down from the temple. The leader was Taoist Zhang.
He came over and kowtowed,"I didn't know the princess consort was coming. I have been negligent. Please forgive me!"”
Commander Ji instructed him," Our Princess Consort will only burn incense before leaving. The rest of the people are to be placed elsewhere and are not to be disturbed!”
Daoist Zhang repeatedly agreed. Keqing's sedan chair came over immediately.
According to the system, the princess could sit in eight palanquins, but Ke Qing was not conferred after all, so four palanquins should also be carried.
The palanquin didn't stop and directly walked past Commander Ji and the others.
At that moment, she was my daughter-in-law?
He sighed with emotion.
Minister Wang stood at the end and cupped his hands at Jia Zhen. He didn't even smile and walked straight in.
Commander Ji smiled and said to Taoist Zhang,"Take out all the delicious food and fun." Brothers, enjoy it for you!"
"Yes, yes. I'm afraid it's too frivolous and will make the Empress angry."”
Commander Ji pointed at him." You're also cunning, but you have nothing to do with the Empress." I heard that the steamed fish in your temple is delicious. Why don't we have a few tables?”
Daoist Zhang's expression changed slightly." Commander Ji, you must be joking." That's the Righteous Sect." Taoist Zhang is a true monk. He has always been a vegetarian monk.
Commander Ji laughed." I was wrong!”He went elsewhere to check.
Daoist Zhang didn't have the time to chat with Jia Zhen and followed him into the hall to serve.
Only then did Jia Rong dare to step forward and ask in a low voice," Is it really that Princess Zhongshun who came?”
Jia Zhen recalled that fleeting glance just now, and she was so angry that she slapped Jia Rong in the face." Useless bastard! Why aren't you asking your mother and son to serve you?"
Jia Rong's eyes widened as she cried out involuntarily,"You're going to serve the princess?”
"What else?" Jia Zhen was furious." She's the princess consort. Look at you!”His heart was very stifled! He needed to find a place to relax.
Old Lady Jia and the others knew that Keqing was also coming to offer incense, so they hurried to pay their respects according to etiquette.
But you kneel in front of the Three Pure Ones, burn incense and kowtow devoutly, and pray to protect your husband. The love between husband and wife will last forever. Second, please bless Keqing and give birth to a son for your husband as soon as possible. After three bows, he took the pot and shook it a few times. He took out a stick. On the front side, there were four words,"Zhong Li Cheng Dao". On the back side, there were vertical lines of small words,"This hexagram shows that Pangu first opened the world, and everything is auspicious." Trade into marriage into Liujia give birth to male pedestrians to the field silkworm good, six livestock good.”
Ke Qing held the stick tightly and silently chanted,"Six months to give birth to a boy", her pretty face full of spring.
Xiao Yue curiously came over and asked," Empress, what does it say?”
Ke Qing smiled and kept the stick in his sleeve." It said that I would pick you up on the way!”
Xiaoyue smiled." That's definitely a good draw!"”
"How can it be a good lot?" Ke Qing smiled and said,"Maybe it's a burden. It should be a bad lot."”
Xiao Yue helped Ke Qing up." Then the Empress's inferior lot is the superior lot for this servant."”
"Nonsense!" Ke Qing spat.
She walked out gracefully.
As soon as they reached the door, Guardian Wang bowed and reported,""Your Highness, the old lady of the Rong Mansion and the womenfolk in the family know that Your Highness has come to offer incense and have come to pay their respects!”
However, you heard that it was the Jia family. You didn't want to see it at first, but you were afraid that you would appear weak and in the wrong. She was already her husband's wife, so she had to face the previous grudges.
But you can't lose face for your husband.
She told herself silently and said in a deep voice,""Then let's invite them to meet in the side hall!”
After a while, when Ke Qing entered the side hall, Old Lady Jia was already waiting inside.
I saw that Keqing's pearl hairpin was simple and self-generated, and her dress was gorgeous and had its own spirit. Everything was ordinary but not ordinary.
Old Lady wanted to go forward and kneel, but Qing smiled and helped her up." Old Lady, you don't have to be like this. You're making me suffer."”He sat down on the couch with her. Xiaoyue and Yuanyang each stood on one side.
On the left was Madam Wang and Madam Xing. On the right were the Yingchun sisters. Li Wan and Wang Xifeng stood behind the two madams.
The old lady held Ke Qing's hand and introduced them to her one by one. Seeing the good appearance of this princess, she couldn't help but praise,"Your Majesty is indeed extraordinary.”
Ke Qing smiled reservedly." Old Lady, you flatter me. I can see that the three young ladies in your residence are all beautiful, pure, and noble. They are also not comparable to ordinary people!”
"It's fine with them," the old lady said with a smile. I just have to trouble them to accompany me, this old woman, to talk and relieve boredom.”
"That's filial piety," Ke Qing said.
Here, Sister Feng thought that her elegant demeanor was not as good as Ke Qing's, and because Ke Qing was from a small family, she joked,"Only wangye is worthy of niangniang's appearance and bearing. Our Brother Rong is not blessed. It can be seen that this is natural luck.”
However, Qing listened without batting an eyelid and smiled,""Rather than saying that you're not blessed, it's better to say that if you don't advance, you'll retreat. A person was like this, and so was a family.”
Sister Feng accidentally met with a soft rebuff." The Empress is right. I wonder if the Empress has seen our Eldest Young Lady in the palace?”
However, the smile on Qing's face grew wider." You've more than seen him? Every time I enter the palace, I will talk to Elder Sister Yuan Chun to relieve my boredom.”
Lady Wang couldn't help but ask,"May I ask how Yuanchun is?"”
Ke Qing looked at Lady Wang and said,"She is now the female historian of the Great Ming Palace and often serves the Empress Dowager." Although it's a bit hard, but the Empress Dowager is benevolent. Don't worry about this, even I can take care of her. Please don't worry!"
Madam Wang quickly stood up to thank him.
Keqing nodded in return. He raised his eyes and saw the dignified and quiet Li Wan beside him. He smiled and said,"Could this be the daughter of the late Imperial College Chancellor Li?”
Li Wan bowed.
Ke Qing smiled,"I didn't expect Old Li to have such a daughter."”She turned to Old Lady Jia and said," Yesterday, Old Master Li came to the Prince's mansion. Although I was in the back hall, I could hear his voice full of energy. It was really lingering around the beam for three days." However, when my husband invited him to engrave a book with him, he was so happy that he danced with joy, very different from Eldest Sister-in-law Jia.”
Li Wan bowed and said with a smile," My father had long planned to engrave a book. Unfortunately, time has passed and he has never succeeded." Now that the fake wangye had fulfilled his wish, it was also a good thing. This concubine thanks wangye and wangfei.”
Ke Qing laughed,"It's funny that there are rumors about how my husband treats Old Li. It's all nonsense." What does sister-in-law Jia think?"
Li Wan smiled, not knowing how to answer.
After a while, Madam You brought Brother Rong's daughter-in-law, Madam Hu, to pay her respects.
But Qing and Hu shi looked at each other and smiled sweetly.
As for Hu shi, she was terrified and did not dare to raise her head. She was both inferior and timid.
You shi looked at the radiant Ke Qing and did not know what she was thinking.
Ke Qing looked around the room and said with a clear voice,""If it wasn't for my husband, I'm afraid I would be family with all of you. Therefore, there's no need for everyone to be restrained." He gradually let go of his embrace and only treated what happened three days ago as a joke.
Baoyu had just come back from the backyard picking flowers. He walked to the front of the hall with a few stalks in his hand. At first glance, he saw Ke Qing on the couch. She was gentle and bright. He couldn't help but walk up to her.
Xiao Yue was just watching from the side, but she quickly stopped him and shouted,""Why is your family so unruly? Why is a man like him in the back hall? Who are you?" The rules that the little girl had learned at the last minute could actually be used.
Only then did Baoyu see Xiaoyue. Her coquettish appearance was really gratifying.
She opened her mouth and smiled."Ancestor, why are there two sisters today? Is it from our family?"
"This is my grandson. He's still young and doesn't know any better," the old lady quickly said.
Ke Qing said," I've heard Yuanchun talk about his younger brother. He said that he taught him to read and write since he was young. I don't know how he is now. I'll go back and tell Yuanchun about it."”There was anger in his words.
Baoyu broke free from Old Lady Jia's grip and was so happy that he wanted to ask,""You know my big sister? What's your name then?"
The expressions of the people below changed drastically. Madam Wang quickly stood up and said,"Baoyu, don't mess around. This is the Zhongshun Princess Consort!”
Although Baoyu was not in charge, he still knew a thing or two about the major events in the family.
Wasn't this Princess Zhongshun originally Brother Rong's daughter-in-law?
