Jia Mansion Back Street, Xiang'er Hutong.

Jia Qiang, who came back from Buzhengfang, came to Xue's house and met Xue Pan first.

It was rare that Xue Pan didn't say anything today. Obviously, although he was stupid, he also understood what it meant for his sister to praise such a talented person.

After seeing Jia Qiang, she also sighed.

Jia Qiang didn't want to look at his sad face, so she moved a chair and sat under the verandah, chatting through the door.

"I asked your sister about this errand. After a while, I can try to enter the palace and help eliminate it. But she said it was not necessary, so I will not worry about it. When the matter reaches this point, then proceed step by step. Just go. Why are you sighing? Being a female official in my house is much better than being a female official in other houses."

Jia Qiang said while basking in the spring sun.

In the room over the middle hall, Aunt Xue and Baochai were busy with something unknown, maybe they were preparing a gift for the Yin family.

Xue Pan sighed again and said: "I suddenly felt that it was so boring, Brother Qiang, life is not interesting at all."

Jia Qiang said "Huh" and said: "Then, you can't think about it and want to die?"

"..."

The man inside the door choked and cursed angrily: "I'm a stupid idiot! I mean, there's no point in living in the capital at all!"

Jia Qiang raised her eyebrows slightly, poked her head forward, and looked at Xue Pan, who was on the kang with his hands under his head and a big head on his head, and said with a smile: "You want to take the Xue family back to Jiangnan? Okay. !”

Xue Pan made a "poof" sound and said: "What a good egg! I have been away from Jinling for several years, and I am afraid that there is no room for the Xue family in Jiangnan. When I left, it was because the Xue family was in decline. Do you think that in Jiangnan? What kind of good birds are these thieves? If they hadn't been behind the scenes, why would the Feng family be biting me? No one was inciting them from behind, so he dared to lead people to the door of Xue's house to rob people? Alas. , it’s not that the Xue Jiafeng brand name was too coveted by them. In the end, it was the Jia family who came forward to suppress the matter. Otherwise... forget it, it will be as damn black everywhere."

Jia Qiang doubted: "Did you come up with all this yourself?"

"of course!"

Xue Datou said confidently, but after a pause he added: "Some of them were thought of by my sister, but they are all unimportant..."

Jia Qiang heard this and knew that this must be the result of Baochai's analysis.

Suddenly, Jia Qiang understood why Baochai was so willing to compromise...

This Xue family is really...

When I was studying in the Red Mansion in my previous life, the further I went, the more the concubines in the palace became the pillars of the Jia family.

But after all, Yuanchun is just a noble concubine. How can she lead so many people who are holding her back?

In addition, the struggle in the palace is by no means easier than outside, and it is even more difficult to win.

Therefore, after only a few years of support, Yuanchun disappeared.

Now it seems that the Xue family obviously wants to follow the old path of the Jia family...

Jia Qiang reminded: "Now the Xue family is no longer as weak as it was a few years ago. The Feng family has been merged into our Delin family, and we are cooperating with the Qi family in Jiangnan. Together with your second uncle, we will reorganize the Jia family and the family." The Xue family’s connections in Jiangnan, even if the current Xue family is not as good as it was when your father and grandfather were still alive, there is still no problem for your family to gain a foothold in Jiangnan.”

Unexpectedly, Xue Pan still shook his head and said: "After seeing the wealth and wealth in the capital, there is nothing interesting about going back except for the Qinhuai River. That's all, I won't go back. I'll wait until February, recover from my injuries, and go to Gaole for a few days." That's serious! Gaga, now the Xue family is not short of money, and I don't need to worry about Feng's name. If I don't have a good time, how can I be worthy of your filial piety, Brother Qiang?"

"Filial piety to you big-headed ghost! My son, stop having your sweet dreams!"

It seems that no matter which dynasty the friendship between men is, they always want to be each other's father.

Xue Pan didn't care, but laughed loudly and said: "If you want to be my father, you must first ask my mother!"

Jia Qiang couldn't show weakness, so she laughed and said: "Don't ask your mother, I even asked your sister, she has no opinion."

"Ahem!"

Just when Xue Pan didn't know what to say, Jia Qiang suddenly heard a dry cough coming from behind him. He was startled, and his chair almost fell over.

Breaking out in a cold sweat, he stood up and looked back. He saw Aunt Xue standing there with red ears and gritted her teeth in annoyance. Baochai's pretty face as fair as a pear blossom also had a blush and a strange look. She looked at Jia Qiang and saw him. He was so embarrassed that he chuckled and said, "I wonder if you and my brother can be naughty together. It's so good, but it turns out that we have the same temperament and like to be so naughty in private?"

At this time, Xue Pan also heard the voices of Aunt Xue and Baochai. He almost died laughing and said loudly: "Mom, sister, can you hear me? You saw Tianli and persuaded me to learn from him, and now What? He still wants to be my father! Hahahaha!"

"Shut up your stupid mouth! If you dare to talk nonsense about your mother's shame again, I will break a few more of your ribs and make you lie in bed for another two or three years. You will know how many things are there!"

Aunt Xue cursed angrily.

However, Jia Qiang still needs to be used in the end, so she still smiles and advises: "Brother Qiang, don't follow this beast, don't be instigated by him!"

Jia Qiang nodded solemnly and said: "What my concubine said makes sense! I will definitely take this as a warning and stay away from Brother Xue in the future."

Aunt Xue was startled when she heard this, and laughed dryly: "That's not what I meant..."

Baochai pulled Aunt Xue's arm and said with a smile: "Mom, Brother Qiang is joking."

Jia Qiang ignored Xue Pan's whining inside and asked Aunt Xue and Baochai: "Are my aunt and sister Xue ready? If they are ready, let's go. We have already sent people to deliver the message to Yin's house. Counting the time, it’s not too early.”

Aunt Xue smiled and said: "In that case, let's set off and forget about bothering my brother."

Jia Qiang laughed, looked at Baochai and said, "It's a matter of personal responsibility."

"Brother Qiang, I entrust my sister to you, please don't let her suffer!"

Inside, Xue Pan's voice roared at the top of his lungs again, but this time, there was no hint of joking or laughter in the shouting.

Jia Qiang understood what she heard and replied: "Why are you wronged? Think too much!"

After saying that, he sent the Xue family's mother and daughter, who had calmed down, into the car, and he took his soldiers and drove towards the Yin family's house in Feng'anfang, Zhuchao Street.

…

Daming Palace, Yangxin Palace.

Emperor Long'an frowned for a long time after looking at the booklet sent by Lin Ruhai, and finally relaxed.

Naturally, the fact that Jia Qiang was admitted to Jiuhua Palace could not be hidden from his ears.

It's just that what happened in the inner hall of Jiuhua Palace cannot be found out for a while.

Emperor Long'an only knew that the Emperor was so angry that he summoned Jia Qiang into the palace.

Originally, he was worried about Jia Qiang, but he really offended the Emperor and unleashed a thunderbolt to enrage him. Not to mention Lin Ruhai, even he was unable to do anything.

It was impossible for Emperor Long'an to fall out with Jiuhua Palace because of Jia Qiang. He couldn't afford to fall out with him.

Unexpectedly, in just over half an hour, Jia Qiang was sent out of Jiuhua Palace head and tail. More news came. The Supreme Emperor was overjoyed and once again praised Jia Qiang's loyalty, filial piety and respect.

He can set an example for all ministers and live up to the name of a good minister.

He even gave him a gold medal and asked him to sit in Jiuhua Palace often.

This news is really shocking.

Emperor Long'an believed that he knew some of the Supreme Emperor. How could the Supreme Emperor really care about a minister like Jia Qiang who suddenly rose up? He was not an old minister who had followed him for decades.

Jia Qiang's role was of little use after the Supreme Emperor forcefully cleared Han Bin and others out of the capital and confirmed the saint's name after his death.

Even if Emperor Long'an used Jia Qiang as his sword, the Supreme Emperor didn't take it seriously.

Even Jingchu's old ministers can be thrown away, let alone a mere "fake good minister".

Emperor Long'an was confident that as long as he did not act too hastily, but replaced Jingchu's old ministers in the court in an orderly manner, and did not let the Supreme Emperor feel a sense of crisis, then everything else would not be a problem.

Unexpectedly, something happened beyond his expectation.

Emperor Long'an believed that he had paid a lot of attention to Jia Qiang, but the key was that there was Lin Ruhai behind him.

If Jia Qiang was confused and had any strange intentions, he would be so disappointed!

Fortunately, Lin Ruhai completely explained Jia Qiang's words and deeds in Jiuhua Palace and even the treasure-presenting behavior. He even explained clearly the reminders given to him by the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain, Zhang Yuanlong, when he left the palace.

Emperor Long'an had long been accustomed to Jia Qiang's "kitsch" praise for the Supreme Emperor.

This wonderful thing is the true noble heart, looking forward to the great Yan family for thousands of years, so that the world-honored people like the Jia family can be rich and noble for generations to come.

These are not important, because Jia Qiang treats the Supreme Emperor like this, and she is also unambiguous with him as the emperor...

As long as he doesn't reach this stage, he can just change his family.

As for Duanzhong County Prince Li Ji... Humph!

After folding a thick stack of folds and placing them on the imperial desk, Emperor Long'an was thinking about something in his mind when he heard the sound of nine hundred and ninety-nine copper bells on the Amitayus Pagoda in the Immortal Tower Buddhist Hall outside the palace.

The sound of the bell echoed in the hall, like Sanskrit music.

He raised his eyebrows and looked toward the door. Not long after, he saw Queen Yin slowly walking in, wearing a lake blue gauze dress with large sleeves and peony and phoenix patterns.

Queen Yin's appearance is so exquisite, every aspect seems to have been favored by heaven, and the white jade is flawless.

Although she has given birth to two princes and is nearly forty years old, in this palace where beauties are as beautiful as clouds and rain, she still ranks first among the six palaces in terms of color.

"I have met the emperor!"

Queen Yin bowed in obeisance.

Emperor Long'an hurriedly helped him up. Looking at the queen's fragrant face, he smiled warmly and said, "Why is the queen here now?"

Queen Yin said with a smile: "I got up early, Concubine Xian De, Concubine Duan and Guiren Zhou were chatting in Fengzao Palace. I heard from them that they had not seen the emperor for two or three days, so I came over to take a look and advised him to take care of his dragon."

Don’t overwork your body, no matter how important the state affairs are, they are not as important as the emperor’s dragon body.”

Emperor Long'an couldn't help but blush when he heard this. In the past two or three days, he had been dealing with trivial state affairs. He was a new nobleman. Because the nobleman's life was really beautiful, and what was more rare was his charming body, so he was a little greedy.

sky.

Being cared about by Queen Yin right now, it is inevitable that I feel a little guilty...

Unexpectedly, Queen Yin didn't say anything more, but talked about Jia Qiang's entry into Jiuhua Palace.

Emperor Long'an asked curiously: "The queen also knows about this?"

Empress Yin said with a smile: "Now there are rumors in the harem that Jia Qiang has presented a treasure to the Supreme Emperor, which can recreate the wonder of Lao Tzu's departure from Hangu Pass in the west. It is almost like a miracle! After hearing this, I felt very uncomfortable. I'm so happy, since I have this treasure, I should give it to the emperor together that day."

When Emperor Long'an heard this, he laughed and said, "Although I am the Son of Heaven, how can I capture the world's most precious treasures in one person? Moreover, I believe in Buddhism, so what do I need the Taoist treasures for? Moreover, today is thanks to the Lao Shi Zi beads, otherwise, I'm afraid, Something big is going to happen."

When Empress Yin heard this, of course she wanted to be a good compliment. After asking about the reason, she sighed: "I didn't expect that the emperor has been on the throne for six years and he still refuses to be sober."

Emperor Long'an sneered: "Queen, don't worry, their lives won't last long!"

Empress Yin hurriedly smiled and said: "I naturally believe in the emperor... By the way, just now Wu'er went to Fengzao Palace to go to Yangmo. He wanted me to persuade the emperor to ask Jia Qiang to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to help him. He said it was in the inner treasury. He was really exhausted. I couldn't bear it anymore, so I asked him to go to the Yin family to visit the concubine on my behalf."

Emperor Long'an heard Empress Yin's intention, but shook his head without any room for negotiation and said: "Jia Qiang still has a great use. The Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division can be considered a rare force if used well. Just wait a moment, I will be busy for a while. Say it again."

"Yes, it would be great if Wu'er can have something to look forward to with the emperor's words!"
