Jia Yujing of Red Mansion

Chapter 235
Jia Qiong was chatting with Dai Chai and others when suddenly someone came to report that the emperor was visiting. Everyone was shocked.

Jia Qiong said hurriedly: "Baochai, Tanchun, help me up quickly."

In the front yard, Emperor Longqing stood in casual clothes, looking at the layout of the yard, followed only by Ji Hongzhang, the commander of the Jin Yiwei.

Wang Yuyan and Qin Keqing got the message and hurriedly came out to greet him.

Qin Keqing had met Emperor Longqing. The two came closer, bowed and said, "I, my concubine, are here to see you, Your Majesty."

Emperor Longqing smiled and said: "Without the ceremony, you must be the granddaughter of Duke Jiechuan."

Wang Yuyan hurriedly bowed and replied, "Yes, my concubine Wang Yuyan has met the emperor."

Emperor Longqing said in a kind manner: "You are pregnant, so you need to take good care of yourself, so there is no need to be too polite."

Wang Yuyan said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Emperor Longqing nodded and said to Qin Keqing: "Master Yongning County, you should go to Chonghua Palace more often. The Queen Mother often talks about you."

Qin Keqing bowed and said, "Yes, I obey your order."

Emperor Longqing continued: "I came to see Jia Aiqing, how is his injury?"

Wang Yuyan replied: "Back to the emperor, the master's injury is quite serious, and the imperial doctor said it will take a month or two to recover.

Now he is in bed recuperating and cannot come to greet him. Please don't be surprised, Your Majesty. "

Emperor Longqing nodded and said, "It's okay, take me to see him."

"Yes, please, Your Majesty."

Wang Yuyan and Qin Keqing led Emperor Longqing to the inner house. As soon as they entered the courtyard, they saw Jia Qiong being supported by Baochai and Tanchun and standing at the door to greet him. Lin Daiyu and Shi Xiangyun were also waiting nearby.

When several people saw the emperor coming in, they hurriedly saluted. Jia Qiong raised his hands and said, "Jia Qiong is here to see the emperor. I am injured and cannot go far to welcome you. Please forgive me for your sins."

Emperor Longqing frowned and said, "You are injured. Why are you getting up? You should help him lie down quickly."

"Yes."

Baochai and Tanchun agreed and helped Jia Qiong back to bed.

Everyone entered the room. Emperor Longqing looked at the furnishings in the room and sat on the stool next to the bed.

When he saw the four Daichai people standing together, each with his or her own characteristics, and looking like they were dressed as maids, he couldn't help but ask: "Whose family do these four girls belong to?"

Wang Yuyan introduced: “They are all relatives and sisters of our family.

This is Shi Xiangyun's sister, the granddaughter of Shi Taigong, the Marquis of Baoling.

This is Xue Baochai's sister, a descendant of Duke Xue, who was born in Ziwei.

This is Lin Dai Yulin's sister, the daughter of Lin Tanhua's family.

This is Jia Tanchun's sister, the daughter of the Rongguo government official. "

The four people greeted the emperor one by one, and Emperor Longqing smiled and nodded in response.

When introducing Lin Daiyu, he also gave a few words of encouragement, praising Lin Ruhai for her loyal service and taking care of the country.

After getting to know the four women, Emperor Longqing turned to Jia Qiong and said, "How is Jia Qing's injury?"

Jia Qiong replied: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. My body is strong and this injury is nothing."

Emperor Longqing smiled and said, "I just saw the racks of weapons used for martial arts training in the courtyard. Could it be that Jia Aiqing is still insisting on practicing martial arts?"

Jia Qiong said: "Now that I have complicated affairs, I can't practice on time every day like before.

Just practice when you have free time to avoid getting rusty. "

Emperor Longqing nodded and praised: "I still remember what Jia Aiqing said in the Zhuque Tower during the Lantern Festival that year.

It has been almost seven years. You have indeed kept your word and have made great achievements many times. Now you have become a pillar of our great Chu. "

Jia Qiong hurriedly said: "Your Majesty is so complimentary. I just did some trivial things and I don't dare to take credit."

Emperor Longqing waved his hand and said: "There is no need to be humble, my dear. This time, the White Lotus Sect was destroyed. My dear, you have done the most great work and should be rewarded generously.

But now that the Supreme Emperor is angry, he won't allow me to give you a promotion, so I can only wrong you first.

But don’t worry, dear, I will keep all your achievements in my heart.

When the Supreme Emperor's anger dissipates, I will definitely replenish it for you. "

The emperor valued him so much that Jia Qiong couldn't help but feel grateful.

He said excitedly: "The emperor is so kind to me, I am deeply frightened, so I have to work hard to repay the emperor's kindness."

When the ladies on the side heard the emperor's words, they were all happy for Jia Qiong and winked at each other.

Shi Xiangyun, who was still aggrieved just now, also had a smile on his face.

Emperor Longqing encouraged Jia Qiong a few more words and said, "Jia Aiqing, I leave the palace incognito this time, and I want to meet someone."

Jia Qiong understood and said to Wang Yuyan: "Yuyan, I have something important to discuss with the emperor. You go out first and call Yuntao over."

"Yes, the concubine is retiring."

Wang Yuyan and others filed out of the room, while Ji Hongzhang stood guard in front of the door.

Jia Qiong then said: "Your Majesty, now Tang Sai'er has been placed in a private house in Shuangquan Town.

Do you want to go out of town to see her, or do you want to have her picked up? "

Emperor Longqing pondered for a moment and said: "It will be inconvenient to bring her here, so I'd better go out of the city to see her."

"Yes, only Yuntao in the house knows the place, let him take you there."

"Okay, you take a good rest and I'll leave first."

"I respectfully send the emperor."

"Just lie down and don't get up."

Wang Yuyan and Qin Keqing sent Emperor Longqing away, and Lin Daiyu and four others returned to Jia Qiong's room.

Everyone was in high spirits, especially Shi Xiangyun. She said excitedly as soon as she entered the door: "The Emperor turns out to be so concerned about Brother Qiong. I wrongly blamed him before."

Lin Daiyu nodded and said: "The Emperor is really amiable and amiable. He is indeed a benevolent king praised by the world."

Jia Tanchun said: "The emperor personally comes to visit his ministers. This is a rare thing in ancient times. Brother Qiong really means that Jane is in the emperor's heart."

But Brother Qiong hates the Supreme Emperor and is afraid that in the future..."

Xue Baochai's eyes flashed with scorching light, and he said excitedly: "There will be times when the wind and waves break, and the sails will hang directly across the sea.

Brother Qiong has the talent to help the world, and he meets a wise man like the emperor.

Even if you encounter some temporary setbacks, it is just a kind of tempering. Brother Qiong must not be discouraged. "

Jia Qiong smiled and said, "Thank you very much, sister Baochai, for your kind words. I will keep them in mind for my brother."

Lin Daiyu joked: "Sister Bao will marry Brother Qiong in the future, and she will definitely become his good wife.

You guys think that when the time comes, should we change our names to Sister Bao and Sister-in-law, or should we call Brother Qiong and Brother-in-law? "

Jia Tanchun and Shi Xiangyun burst out laughing when they heard this. Tanchun said, "Of course I want to call you sister-in-law, but Xiangyun can call you brother-in-law."

Upon hearing this, Shi Xiangyun shouted to Jia Qiong: "Brother-in-law~ Hahaha."

Xue Baochai blushed at the joke. If not in front of Jia Qiong, she would definitely "punish" Lin Daiyu, a narrow-minded ghost, but now she can only wait for Qiu Hou to settle the score.

Emperor Longqing was well versed in the emperor's mind. This time he came to visit Jia Qiong, and the effect was very obvious.

The four people who were still unhappy about Jia Qiong being beaten and not being rewarded for their meritorious services have now completely changed their minds, and even the depression in Jia Qiong's heart has dissipated a lot.
