My Red Mansion Career

Chapter 24 The first time I went to heaven to listen

Whether it is for the reputation of the royal family or the dignity of the emperor, this bandit suppression must go.

Even if the whole army is annihilated, he will not hesitate.

The White Queen wanted to say something, but was afraid of hurting the emperor's self-esteem, so her pretty face was full of tangles.

Looking at the White Queen who was about to speak but hesitated, Emperor Changping sighed softly in his heart. He was still too soft-hearted as the Queen.

But why I have only doted on her for so many years? Isn't it because of her rare kindness?
He smiled slightly and turned to look at Dai Quan, who was standing not far away: "Dai Quan, do you know who is leading the expedition this time?

Write down his name. If he is lucky enough to survive this bandit suppression, let him increase his official rank by one level. If he cannot come back... then give his family a heavy pension and reward him with more things. "

Upon hearing this, Dai Quan bent down and whispered: "Your Majesty, the person leading the army to suppress the bandits this time is a young general named Jia Yu, who comes from the Jia family in Jinling.

His parents are dead and he has no brothers or sisters. If he really cannot come back, no matter how much compensation the court gives him, it will be useless. "

"The Jia family... from the twelfth room of Jinling?"

Emperor Changping was stunned for a moment, and his mind immediately turned up the information about Ningrong's Second Mansion.

Then he showed a half-smile expression: "I didn't expect that after more than ten years of decline, there are still people in the Jia family who dare to join the army. This is really rare.

It's just... it's a pity. "

Dai Quan didn't dare to talk, he just smiled apologetically.

As a close person of Emperor Changping, he certainly knew that Emperor Changping did not have much capital at present, so he was naturally reluctant to send the Selected Front Battalion to suppress the bandits.

After all, the battlefield is unpredictable and anything can happen.

And the most terrible thing is that the most dangerous place is not the thieves, but from the inside. If someone is causing trouble behind the scenes...

So much so that it is possible for the entire Selected Front Battalion to lose most of its troops or even be completely annihilated.

If that happens, Emperor Changping will have to see if the position under his butt is stable.

Otherwise, do you really think that a dignified emperor can't even afford a little money for expedition?

He was secretly telling Feng Tang that if he doesn't give you any money, he will just ask you to send some people to do it for a show, and don't really risk your life.

Maybe this seems funny and absurd to others, but it is the fact.

No wonder even Lord Wei lamented that there are two filthiest places in the world, and that is the Imperial Palace and Li Chun Yuan.

Just when Emperor Changping and Dai Quan stopped talking in a tacit understanding, Queen Bai suddenly remembered something.

"Your Majesty, when you mentioned the Jia family, I really remembered something.

I remember that there was a female historian named Jia Yuanchun next to Concubine Wu, who was from Rongguo Mansion. Since there is no one in Jia Yu's family, we will reward Jia Yuanchun with something. What do you think? "

Emperor Changping nodded: "That's okay. Dai Quanqin will reward her with something on my behalf later.

After all, we can't just make people work and not feed them. If word spreads, some people will say that I am mean. "

Outside the palace where Concubine Wu lives
Jia Yuanchun, who was dressed in palace attire, was leading several palace maids to clean the corridors, pavilions and other places at the door.

At this time, an old woman came from not far away and scolded Jia Yuanchun and his party in a sharp voice: "You are sweeping the floor so slowly, why are you doing your job?"

Take a look...the ground is still so slippery. What if Concubine Wu comes over later and accidentally slips?
If Concubine Wu really falls down because of you, that will be the fate of each of you with three feet of white silk! "

Jia Yuanchun knelt down slightly to salute and said in a low voice: "Yes... slaves, hurry up and do it now."

"Hurry up, if you can't finish it within a quarter of an hour, don't eat today." The old mama glared at Jia Yuanchun and left cursingly.

After watching the old nanny disappear, a little palace maid stuck out her tongue in the direction where she disappeared.He turned to Jia Yuanchun and said, "This Aunt Wu is the worst. Not only does she drink and gamble on weekdays, but she also always likes to deduct our monthly salary.

We don't have much monthly money to begin with, but after she deducted it like this, there isn't much left at all. Why did the imperial concubine choose such a person to be our general manager? "

"There's nothing I can do about it. Who can let someone be my nanny? Of course the imperial concubine has to choose her own person."

"In my opinion, it's best to let Miss Yuanchun be the general manager. That Nanny Wu is not even worthy of carrying shoes compared to Miss Yuanchun."

A petite palace maid with cute appearance glared:
"Don't harm our girl. If anyone hears this, it will be a big disaster. Don't dare to say it!"

This woman is none other than Baoqin, the personal maid who has followed Jia Yuanchun into the palace since childhood.

The maids looked at each other and all laughed.

Looking at the palace ladies playing and laughing with each other, Jia Yuanchun's eyes showed nostalgia.

This year is already her tenth year in the palace.

From the time she entered the palace at the age of 13 to now, she is now 23 years old. She has spent the most precious ten years of her life in this palace.

In this era, people like her are out-and-out leftover women. Women and children of her age are already busy, but she is still wasting her youth here.

For countless days and nights, he stood on a high place and looked into the distance, hoping to return to the Rongguo Mansion where she dreamed and live in her small but cozy courtyard again.

It's a pity... everything can't go back.

Just when Jia Yuanchun was secretly feeling sad, he heard footsteps coming from outside.

More than a dozen eunuchs walked towards them, led by a middle-aged man wearing a dark red python robe and a black gauze round hat.

Seeing the visitor, the maids quickly stopped what they were doing, squatted down towards the visitor and said, "I have seen the chief steward."

In the palace, even the eunuchs and maids who entered the palace for the first month knew that only two people could wear python robes in the palace.

That is Xia Shouzhong, the chief steward of Longshou Palace, and Dai Quan, the chief steward of Daming Palace.

The former was a die-hard loyalist of the Supreme Emperor, and the latter was a confidant of Emperor Changping and the governor of the Zhongche Mansion.

Dai Quan walked to the crowd and stopped. After sizing them up, his eyes rested on Jia Yuanchun.

"Which one of you is the female historian Jia Yuanchun?"

After hearing this, Jia Yuanchun quickly said respectfully: "My servant is Jia Yuanchun."

"Well... she is indeed the eldest granddaughter of the late Lord Dai Shan. She is really good. Okay, hurry up and accept the order."

"Ah..." There were low exclamations all around, and Jia Yuanchun quickly knelt down.

"His Majesty says:
Today, Jia Yuanchun, the granddaughter of Jia Daishan, Duke of Rongguo, has been in the palace for ten years. She has devoted herself to her duties, is respectful and courteous, and has set an example.

My heart is filled with joy, and I have given you a pair of gold bracelets, a pearl necklace, and a precious red sandalwood dressing box as a token of the emperor's great kindness.

Appreciate this! "

"Slave, thank you for your kindness!"

Surprises always come so suddenly that Jia Yuanchun has no time to think about it and quickly thanks him.
