Chapter 141
Baochai was panicked and hurriedly wanted to escape.
But unexpectedly, his hand was held by Yuanchun.
"What a blessing it is to see the Holy Face? How about I go out of my way to let you see His Majesty today?"
Xue Baochai hesitated for a moment, his mind was spinning, and he lowered his head shyly.
Yuanchun smiled meaningfully.
Cen Mingche wanted to come over and take a look precisely because he heard Yuan Chun announced Baochai.
He still has two interests in the legendary Xue Baochai.
Seeing a girl coming out behind Yuan Chun, Cen Mingche knew he had come to the right place.
I saw that the girl's face was like a full moon, as bright as a hibiscus, plump and full, like a morning flower with dew, and her face was attractive.
This is the legendary Xue Baochai.
"I have seen Your Majesty."
"Exemption."
Cen Mingche walked in front, Yuan Chun was half a step behind him.
"The meal is being served at Fengzao Palace today."
Yuanchun was overjoyed.
If I can keep His Majesty for a meal, maybe I can keep His Majesty for a night, and maybe I can have a child.
"This is?"
"Your Majesty, this is the eldest daughter of the Xue family."
"The Xue family?"
"The ancestor of the Xue family was once a member of Ziweishe, and his descendants made a living as merchants. Now they are also among the imperial merchants."
"What are you doing?"
"I'm just here to choose a princess to read with."
Cen Mingche nodded and motioned for Xue Baochai to sit down and eat together.
This meal left her with no taste for food.
Yuan Chun put down his chopsticks and said with a coquettish smile: "Your Majesty, how do you like Miss Xue?"
"Well, being generous and dignified is a good thing."
"It is said that Miss Xue carries a gold lock with her, which was given to her by an eminent monk who attained Taoism when she was young. There are words on it that match the words on my concubine's brother's jade."
Is this a hint?
It seems that Yuanchun wants to point out Baochai to Baoyu?
It seems that Lin Ruhai is not dead now, and Sister Lin is now the eldest daughter of a second-rank scholar. She has not stayed at Jia's house, and Jia Yuanchun has never seen her.
Besides, that Baoyu is indeed not worthy of Sister Lin now.
The Jia family then set their sights on Baochai.
But I didn't expect that Baochai would not be willing to do this, so he agreed to enter the palace?
While Cen Mingche was thinking, he heard Yuan Chun's laughter again.
"...It seems that the two of them have a saying of 'a good match between gold and jade'. This gold must be matched with jade."
"Oh?"
Cen Mingche looked over with a half-smile.
"Miss Xue's golden lock should be matched with jade?"
Xue Baochai stood up and kowtowed.
"Your Majesty, these are just private words and should not be taken seriously."
Yuan Chun hurriedly smiled and said: "Since you can say such things, it means there is some fate, right?"
Cen Mingche chuckled.
"Okay, I understand. Send Miss Xue back and reward her with two pieces of silk."
Although it was in Fengzao Palace in Yuanchun, it was the emperor who kept his word.
Cen Mingche stayed for a short time and then left.
Jia Yuanchun was left feeling disappointed.
Ha, the aristocratic family is really big-hearted.
Born with jade, it’s fine not to hide it, but now there is a saying that “golden locks should be matched with jade”.
Of all the jade in the world, is the most noble one the one Jia Baoyu had in his mouth when he was born?
Do not!
The most noble thing should be the jade of Yuxi!
After saying this, you still want to ask him for marriage?
Could it be that Jia Yuanchun's head was filled with water?
After leaving Fengzao Palace, Cen Mingche turned around and went to find the queen.
When Liu Qingyu said things like this, he burst out laughing.
"Okay, okay, okay, I'll keep her here for you. What position should she be given?"
"It's up to you."
Cen Mingche waved his hand indifferently.
"Do you want to add a ban?"
"No need."
A girl like Xue Baochai is like a maid measured with a ruler. She follows the rules and is beautiful, but she is too boring.
As for a good wife... a queen is enough.
In Jia Mansion, Jia Baoyu is still making trouble at home.
"Sister Yuanchun has entered the palace, and now sister Bao has also entered the palace. What a good place the palace is, why can't everyone go in?"
"Sister Yuanchun has become a noble concubine and will never come back. Will Sister Bao also be unable to come back?"
"Sister Lin has gone to her house, and Sister Bao has also entered the palace. What's the point of me staying in the Grand View Garden?"
Baoyu was crying and fussing, and Qingwen, Xiren and others couldn't coax him anymore.
"My good young master, is this something you can say? Please let us save our worries."
Qingwen urged.
Baoyu was still sobbing.
"Second Master Bao, what if I find out? The books haven't been warmed these days, so I ask..."
Baoyu has always been afraid of his father like a tiger, so Xiren used this to scare him, which always worked.
After hearing this, Baoyu stopped sobbing and glared at Xiren with red eyes.
"You know how to use the master to scare me!"
The attacker shrank his hands in fright.
Qingwen hurriedly came up and hugged Baoyu, and said softly: "My dear young master, it makes us feel so uncomfortable when you see us like this! You only think about Sister Bao and Sister Lin, but you don't think about us!"
"Please be considerate of us!"
Baoyu then calmed down.
Later, it was Jia's mother who brought Shi Xiangyun from Shi's house. Baoyu and Xiangyun got up and slept together, laughing and playing all day long, which was better.
Just ten days passed by in a flash.
For the Xue family, there is good news, even better news.
Good news: Xue Baochai was selected.
Better news: Xue Baochai chose not the princess as his companion, but the palace concubine.
Xue Baochai was granted the title of a fourth-grade nobleman. After returning home, he entered the palace on an auspicious day.
With this position, people around him cannot be brought into the palace, but he can buy two boxes of things and carry them with him.
The dowries of our young ladies have been purchased since they were young. Everything from step beds to wood for furniture, from pots and pans to ear picks, are all neatly arranged for you.
But now entering the palace is all in vain.
Aunt Xue was happy and worried, so she hurriedly asked Xue Pan to pick up the silver and hit 500 taels of silver ingots, 200 taels of silver ingots each, 100 taels of gold ingots, and 50 taels of gold. A golden locket.
There are also fifty and a half taels of silver rings, twenty and a half taels of gold rings, ten solid gold bracelets, and five solid gold hairpins.
For the rest, just pick up some daily jewelry and clothes, and prepare some rulers for making clothes and appreciating people.
The two camphor wood boxes were so stuffed that even a hand could not fit inside.
Baoyu learned that his sister Baoyu was back and made a fuss to see her again.
But Baochai is now a confirmed concubine, how can she see her foreigner again?
Even now I have to see my brother through a screen.
Baoyu returned home defeated and was depressed for several days.
Xiangyun and Sanchun did come to visit, but they just looked at each other in silence.
Baochai was in a good mood, smiling, and gave them some jewelry that she had no use for.
"It will be difficult to see me again in the future. If my sisters still have me in their hearts, just see old things like seeing me."
These words made Xiangyun and Sanchun shed tears.
