Uncle Lai in the Red Chamber

Chapter 360 Goodwill Concealment

Even if the queen was diagnosed with a happy pulse, it was impossible to block the news.

After more than ten years, a concubine in the harem is pregnant with a dragon seed. This is a great joy for everyone, not to mention that the pregnant woman is still a queen.

Emperor Zhenglong was also in high spirits during happy events. He smiled happily every morning, and at night he worked hard in order to spread the branches and leaves of the royal family.

The imperial heir is the foundation of the country, and no emperor would be dissatisfied with having too many children. Emperor Zhenglong even regarded the queen's pregnancy as a symbol of physical recovery, and it is not surprising that she worked hard.

Some people were happy while others were sad. As the only prince, Prince Jing and his mother and concubine were certainly not happy.

Although she has the advantage of age, the queen is a legitimate child after all. If the emperor is old, he may have the advantage of age. However, the emperor is not yet fifty and is in his prime. Once the queen gives birth to a prince, at least in name. Take advantage.

Fortunately, the outcome is still close to [-] or [-]. After all, we are only ten months pregnant and we have to wait until the fruit is ripe and ready to bear fruit before we can know the outcome.

This is also the thought of most of the concubines in the harem and their mother clan.

As the natal family of the virtuous concubine Jia Yuanchun, the Rongguo Mansion was naturally one of them, especially Jia's mother and Mrs. Wang, who had asked Lai Shangrong for help before, and they felt a little more confident.

Therefore, on the day of the visit after receiving the news, he rushed to the palace without stopping.

Entering Yuchun Garden, after Yuanchun had retreated, Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Wang couldn't wait to say: "The emperor's kindness is great, and the empress still needs to fulfill her duties. If we can help the emperor as soon as possible, our family will be honored!" "

"Yeah!~" Yuanchun agreed absentmindedly, then lowered his head and said nothing.

She was in trouble, and after the ban was lifted, she had no hope of sleeping with her again. However, Queen Tian thought that she was benevolent and wanted to appease her and win over Lai Shangrong, so she revealed the emperor's intention to never meet again. Got her.

Now, Mrs. Jia and Mrs. Wang are looking forward to it. Not only are they afraid of making them worry, but also because they are inconvenient to tell each other the reasons, they can only try their best to deal with it.

Fortunately, although the queen told the emperor that she disliked her, she also clearly expressed her intention to take care of her, which was finally a blessing in misfortune.

"Don't worry, my dearest lady, my family is not helpless at all..."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Wang looked around and whispered a few words into Yuan Chun's ear.

"What!" Yuanchun exclaimed: "How...how can this be possible!"

It's not impossible to go to the honorary office, but the emperor doesn't want to see him. If he really turns over his sign, he will get into trouble.

Mrs. Wang didn't know her worries, and thought she was afraid that things would not be kept secret enough, so she consoled her: "Don't worry, Madam, we are asking Shangrong to help with this matter. With his methods, the city will not cause any trouble. "

"Lai...Lai Shangrong? How dare he..."

Lai Shangrong saw through his own delicate features in front of the emperor. Yuan Chun wanted to know how he dared to help him.

However, Mrs. Wang misunderstood her and thought that Yuanchun didn't believe that the palace was involved, so Lai Shangrong dared to help.

He comforted her and said, "Don't worry, Madam, Shang Rong has a close relationship with the Queen's family. Earlier, Uncle Tian Guo came to congratulate the concubine on her full moon..."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Jia Mu took over the topic and echoed: "His concubine was born last month, and my uncle also came to the house with his female relatives. It seems that he is a good member of the family."

Recalling carefully, when she was punished last time, Queen Tian had asked her to tell her family to thank Lai Shangrong. This time she also revealed, intentionally or unintentionally, that her family was very close to the Lai family.

It seems that Lai Shangrong knew his situation and could not resist his family's request, so he had to trouble the queen to take care of him a little.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

As expected of someone who has been an official for a long time, he is thoughtful in every aspect of his work.

"Empress?" Yuanchun murmured to himself: "No wonder the empress asked the family to thank him last time, and she took good care of him this time, but..." It's just that the queen knew after all that he was looking at things he shouldn't have, and Please help the queen to take care of me. How dare he make such a request for melon fields and plum blossoms?
I couldn't explain these words to Mrs. Jia Muwang, so I stopped in time.

Her sudden turn of events made Mother Jia and Mrs. Wang very upset.

Not without worry: "Should Shang Rong be entrusted to the Queen? Does the Queen have some dissatisfaction?"

They all understand that there is no room for two tigers in one mountain, so Mrs. Wang also relies on Shangrong to help manage the guest room.

I originally thought that the queen had no heirs, and even if she knew that Lai Shangrong was helping her family, there would be no actual conflict. On the contrary, the good relationship between the Tian family and the Lai family would still be a guarantee.

But now that the world has changed, letting the queen know about it would be a bad thing.

Because there was a certain time difference between Lai Shangrong and the Empress being pregnant, they only regarded it as a greeting from Lai Shangrong before the Empress was pregnant, but now it has the opposite effect.

"Old lady and mother, don't worry. How could he not consider this? The punishment last time has caused him a lot of trouble. Recently, the queen has also taken good care of me because of his greetings.

It’s just that I have troubled people over and over again, how can I be so embarrassed..."

Mrs. Wang breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "It's not in the way, it's not in the way. He is very close to our family and is willing to contribute. No matter how inconvenient you are here, we must do our best. Thank you very much for him." That’s it.”

Speaking of this, Mrs. Wang was deeply pleased. She had also made a mistake in her calculations. If it weren't for some mistake, how could Lai Shangrong be so dedicated?

No wonder he has been working so hard on himself recently. It turns out that he is asking for reward after the work is completed. Mrs. Wang suddenly felt that she was willing to welcome him, and she was willing to do something small and worth it.

With her heart in her arms, Jia Mu returned to her stomach and looked longingly at Shu. She said to Mrs. Wang, "I should thank him more, but I can't leave him behind in the respect room. I still have to mention it to him again later."

Mrs. Wang couldn't help being overjoyed, and hurriedly agreed: "Hey! Hey! Don't worry, old lady, I will take care of this matter!"

Yuan Chun saw the hot looks on the two people's eyes and said hurriedly: "I don't have the nerve to say it. He even helped in the Jingsi room. Now that we can have such a situation, it is already very good. If we go to urge others again, , but it makes people feel that our hearts are not enough. The water in the respect room is too deep, you must not make decisions without authorization, and always ask his opinion on everything."

She was afraid that Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang would press too hard, and Lai Shangrong couldn't clearly express the interests involved, so she simply refused.

Afraid that Lai Shangrong would cut off their thoughts, they didn't know the depth and found other ways to cause trouble.

We can only hide the real situation and make up this rhetoric.

Although there are loopholes in it, with Lai Shangrong's wit, he probably won't reveal the truth in front of his mother.

As long as the family does not act rashly and cause trouble, although there is no hope of fighting for favor, life will not be too difficult if the queen takes care of her.

Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang have no doubt about it. Although they are close relatives, it is indeed a bit embarrassing to talk about the number of visits to bed.

Entering the palace this time can be said to be a complete success. Unexpectedly, Lai Shangrong not only opened up the relationship with the respect room, but also helped to greet the queen.

Thinking of this, Jia Mu and Mrs. Wang looked at each other with joy on their faces.

Jia Mu smiled and said: "Shang Rong has helped a lot this time, so I have to thank him generously!"

Mrs. Wang nodded and said: "Old lady, don't worry, my daughter-in-law will save it. From now on, the empress will still point to him and pay attention to him at all times. He must come and go often. Don't let people think that we are crossing the river and burning the bridge!"

"That's natural... I've been talking to him about this, so I'll just figure it out in the future."

Listening to the exchange between the two, Yuanchun knew that they were finally reassured, and he put his hope in Lai Shangrong, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes, yes! Mother, remember to listen to him in everything and never make your own decisions!"
