Chapter 504 A Dream of Red Mansions - Wang Xifeng 31
Mrs. Wang, the person being flattered, was still not satisfied. She had no sense of shame for her previous intention to harm Wang Xifeng. As soon as she heard the news that Wang Xifeng was to be made a concubine, she wrote a letter to Wang Ziteng.
Today, Wang Ziteng's reply came. After reading it, Mrs. Wang slapped the table in anger.
"Brother, you have forgotten me now that you are in power. I just asked him to pass a message to the Empress in the palace to help Yuanchun. Why is it not possible?"
Mrs. Wang had a nice idea. Anyway, they didn't know that she had planned to curse Wang Xifeng to death, and that she had harmed Wang Ziteng and Wang Ren as well. Besides, in the end, she spent a lot of money to find Ma Dao Po, who cast the curse, to break it. So, if you really think about it, she saved their lives.
What's wrong with just asking my brother to write a letter to Wang Xifeng in the palace and ask her to help her daughter? She actually refused directly.
"Isn't Yuanchun his biological niece?"
"There are so many concubines in the palace, and Feng Ge'er only gave birth to a daughter. It's not certain whether he can give birth to another child in the future."
"Tell her to help Yuanchun. When Yuanchun gives birth to a prince, she will not mistreat Fengge'er or the Wang family. Why is she so crazy?"
Mrs. Wang only thought that Wang Ziteng was ruthless, but she never thought that when Wang Ziteng had previously suggested asking Jia Yuanchun, who had arrived at the palace early, to help find out some news from the palace so that Wang Xifeng could enter the palace more smoothly, his suggestion was rejected by Mrs. Wang on the grounds that it was not easy to transmit news inside and outside the palace.
As a result, now that Wang Xifeng has climbed to the position of concubine on her own, Mrs. Wang appears again and asks Wang Xifeng to help Jia Yuanchun, and implicitly says that Jia Yuanchun has a good appearance for a son, and that Wang Xifeng cannot give birth to a son, so she asks Jia Yuanchun to give birth in her next life.
The beads on the abacus were all on Wang Ziteng's face. Even if he was concerned about the brother-sister relationship between the two, Wang Ziteng would not agree. After all, for Wang Ziteng, Wang Xifeng was his daughter now, and Jia Yuanchun was just a niece, who was no match for his own daughter.
"How can the prince born by Jia Yuanchun compare to the one born from Feng Ge'er's belly?"
Wang Ziteng was very clear-headed and naturally would not do such a thing as sacrificing himself to help others. Mrs. Wang's request was not even passed on to Wang Xifeng and was directly blocked.
Jia Yuanchun entered the palace at the age of seventeen. The new emperor ascended the throne the following year, and Wang Xifeng entered the palace in the fifth year. Now it is her seventh year in the palace, and Jia Yuanchun is already twenty-four years old.
If Jia Yuanchun was a palace maid in another year, she would have reached the age to leave the palace. After being in the palace for so long, Jia Yuanchun had long lost the spirit she had when she first entered the palace, and she became numb.
She wanted to leave the palace, but unlike palace maids, there was no rule that female officials could leave the palace at the age of 25. However, if someone in the palace spoke up for her or if Lady Jia from outside the palace passed a sign into the palace to ask the Empress Dowager for help, she could also leave the palace.
However, every time her mother, Lady Wang, sent a letter, she asked Jia Yuanchun to persist and work hard. Not only that, Lady Wang would also cry in the letter about the current situation of the Rongguo Mansion, saying that the Rongguo Mansion could only rely on Jia Yuanchun, forcing Jia Yuanchun to not even say the word "leave the palace and go home."
Without Mrs. Wang's approval, even if Grandmother Jia wanted to take Jia Yuanchun home, she couldn't do so. What's more, Grandmother Jia didn't actually want to do that.
For Grandmother Jia, since Jia Yuanchun has been staying in the palace for so many years, it is better for her to continue to stay. If she comes back at this time, she will only make others laugh at her.
Her mother's earnest expectations, her grandmother's acquiescence, her father's indifference, and the invisible pressure from Wang Xifeng ultimately forced Jia Yuanchun to betray Qin Keqing's life experience earlier than in her previous life.
Qin Keqing's life story was told to Jia Yuanchun by her grandmother before she left home. She had originally been waiting for Jia Yuanchun to enter the palace and meet the then retired emperor, and then use Qin Keqing's life story to take credit.
Qin Keqing is the most beloved son of the retired emperor and the illegitimate daughter of the late crown prince, Prince Yi Zhong. If the retired emperor knew that the concubine of the Ningguo Mansion was the illegitimate daughter of Prince Yi Zhong, the retired emperor, who doted on Prince Yi Zhong, would surely value the Jia family more.
What Jia Yuanchun didn't expect was that the timing of her entering the palace was so unfortunate that she couldn't even meet the retired emperor. Furthermore, the emperor had a grudge against the former crown prince, so even if Jia Yuanchun could meet the emperor, she wouldn't dare to mention it.
"I heard some time ago that the emperor's health was not good..."
After the abdication of the emperor, his condition miraculously improved, and then he fought with the emperor for power for several years. Not long ago, the old Concubine Zhen passed away, and the emperor was so sad that he collapsed.
But this time the emperor didn't get better like last time.
After the news spread, the forces under the emperor were not very happy, because they were really afraid that the emperor would die. Everyone knew that once the emperor died, those who followed the emperor and opposed him would be liquidated.
So in panic they began to come up with a stupid idea, which was to unite.
As long as they unite, the more they unite, the less the emperor will dare to move. Prince Beijing is currently responsible for uniting the Jia family, Wang family, Shi family and other families.
Jia Yuanchun thought about it all night and thought that the emperor had a grudge against the late crown prince. If she could surrender to the emperor by bringing Qin Keqing, the late crown prince's illegitimate daughter, the emperor would be satisfied.
Jia Yuanchun waited for a long time, and finally received the news that the emperor was coming in the Queen's Palace. This time, the palace servants in the Queen's Palace still kept a close watch on Jia Yuanchun as before, not giving her any chance to get close to the emperor.
In order not to offend the Queen, Jia Yuanchun had naturally been obedient before. She would not go if the Queen did not allow her to see the Emperor. Now that she was running out of time, Jia Yuanchun could only take a risky move. She took out the sleeping pills she had asked for from Mrs. Wang before and poured them into the cup of the female official in the same dormitory.
When the female official sent by the Queen to monitor her fell asleep due to the drug, Jia Yuanchun quickly took off her female official uniform, took out the clothes that she and Baoqin had secretly made and put them on, then she dressed herself carefully in front of the candlelight shining on the water. After making sure that there was no problem, she secretly ran to the road where the Emperor came and waited.
As soon as she saw the Emperor, Jia Yuanchun knelt on the ground, lowered her head, stretched her neck, and slightly tilted her body to pose in a seductive manner. This was something Jia Yuanchun had secretly learned from the palace maids in the Queen's palace. At this moment, she had long lost her previous dignified and graceful appearance.
The emperor did not recognize Jia Yuanchun at first. Seeing her dress and the place she appeared, he thought she was arranged by the queen. He did not refuse and waved his hand to signal her to get up and follow.
The Queen was old and had stopped sleeping with the Emperor a long time ago. Every time the Emperor came, it was to give the Queen face. The Queen was also sensible and kept many palace maids in her own palace to sleep with her.
After waiting for a long time, the empress learned that the emperor had left with the palace maid who had served him. The empress did not care. It was not until the next day that the empress learned that the palace maid who had served him last night was Jia Yuanchun. She was furious.
"No matter how hard we tried to defend ourselves, that bitch still found an opportunity!"
