The Emperor of Red Mansions: Many Children, Many Blessings, Opening Draft

Rongguo Mansion, Rongqing Hall…

“Yesterday, our imperial concubine gave birth to a prince for His Majesty!

Our family was also rewarded!”

“Why is the Wang family demoted today!”

Grandmother Jia smiled, but pretended to be uncomfortable.

Although the four major families in Jinling are of the same blood, they are also based on mutual support and mutual use.

However, what Grandmother Jia is thinking about now is the situation in the palace.

If no one in the Wang family is a concubine in the palace, then everything will be fine.

But now the Wang family not only has a concubine in the palace, but this concubine is about to give birth.

In addition, their imperial concubine in the palace has already given birth to the eldest prince.

This concubine in the palace of the Wang family is going to give birth to a prince this time, and they will compete for his position in the future.

The friendship between the Jia and Wang families over several generations may collapse in an instant and they may become enemies.

After all, the benefits and advantages that position brings to the family are not comparable to the friendship of several generations.

Especially since their Jia family is still going downhill.

So for that position, his Jia family can give everything.

Even if his Rongguo Mansion is restored to the title of Duke in the end, the Jia family's efforts are worth it.

"Not only that! His Majesty also asked us nobles to pay taxes.

It's not enough to pay the land tax, but also the population tax.

How much silver do we have to pay to the court this year."

Jia Lian said with an ugly face.

Now let alone Jia Lian's pain, which family with a lot of land is not in pain?

"Okay, His Majesty has taken the lead in paying taxes. How can we, a family that has been deeply favored by the emperor, fall behind?

Don't talk about this outside in the future, otherwise it will be a trouble again."

Faced with Jia Lian's complaints, Jia's mother scolded him angrily.

Lian felt aggrieved but could only keep silent about Jia's mother's scolding.

"To put it bluntly, the fault lies with my second brother-in-law. His Majesty has made him a general to quell the Japanese invasion in Fujian Province, and promised to give him the county baron title of his Wang family ancestors after he quelled the invasion."

"But he is so good. Not only did he fail the emperor's grace, but he also let the Japanese pirates become more and more rampant in the south.

They even spread to the Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas."

"He doesn't have the ability. He should have told His Majesty that he doesn't have the ability!"

"I think if His Majesty hadn't thought about the ladies of our two families, he would have dismissed him long ago."

Jia Zheng took over the conversation, mocking and belittling Wang Ziteng.

Because of his long-term career setbacks, he has been looked down upon by his second brother-in-law, Wang Ziteng.

Now he has been promoted and Wang Ziteng has been demoted.

It is impossible for Jia Zheng to say that he is unhappy.

Even Jia Zheng is happier than Jia Mu.

But Jia Zheng has never thought about his own reasons.

Jia Zheng isHis career was not going well because of his own incompetence and his overly pedantic self-esteem. He could not get along with his colleagues in the government.

He was also extremely indifferent to his superiors and acted very arrogantly.

If not, Jia Zheng, with the support of the Jia family, would have entered the center of the court like Wang Ziteng.

Similarly, Jia Zheng felt that Wang Ziteng's cold eyes towards him were a bit self-indulgent.

It can be said that even if Jia Zheng was not doing well, Wang Ziteng never gave Jia Zheng a cold eye.

Jia Zheng felt that Wang Ziteng's cold eyes towards him were purely because Jia Zheng himself was incompetent and had a strong self-esteem.

When he met Wang Ziteng, who was competent, he always felt that he looked down on him.

This can be seen from the fact that Jia Zheng kept a group of guests who ate and drank. Jia Zheng was a person who wanted to be the center of attention and wanted people to revolve around him.

Faced with Jia Zheng's angry rebuke, Mrs. Wang looked a little ugly but did not speak.

Wang Ziteng was demoted and held accountable, and Mrs. Wang was happy and worried.

Wang Ziteng was happy because she had the same idea as Jia's mother.

If the prince born by Jia Yuanchun became the next emperor, it would be a great benefit to the Jia family, not... to her Baoyu.

Because at that time, her Baoyu would be the emperor's uncle.

How could the emperor treat his uncle any worse?

And Mrs. Wang was worried about Wang Ziteng.

No matter what, Wang Ziteng was Mrs. Wang's family, and also the confidence of Mrs. Wang in her husband's family.

If Wang Ziteng's status and position were high, she would naturally become more and more confident in the Jia family.

The same is true in reverse.

The news of her brother's demotion just came back, and before outsiders could say anything, her weak husband looked down on her brother.

But fortunately, she was not completely dependent on her brother now. She was relying on her daughter and her niece, whom she hoped not to give birth to a prince.

Of course, it would be best if You Qingwan of Ningguo Mansion could not give birth to a prince.

In this way, her niece and the one of Ningguo Mansion would wholeheartedly assist her grandson to ascend the throne smoothly.

On the contrary, if the two of them gave birth to a prince, she would not be able to count on this niece to be her support in the future.

"Okay, don't mention it again!

Don't let it get out and make your own people feel uncomfortable, and outsiders laugh at you." (To read the novel, go to Fulu Novel Network!)

Grandmother Jia was very satisfied with her son's words, but she still pretended to be stern and stopped Jia Zheng.

No matter what, Wang Xifeng has not been promoted yet.

It is still unknown whether she will be a prince or a princess.

And even if it is a prince, their two families cannot just break up, after all, there are other families.

Especially with the queen, if their two families quarrel first, not only will it be embarrassing, but it will also give others an opportunity to take advantage of it.

So no matter what you think now, it should be maintained.

At least the relationship between the two families cannot be broken now.

Being scolded by Jia's mother, Jia Zheng hurriedly stood up and said yes.

The palace, Fuxi Pavilion...

Li Chenghan sat in the main hall of Fuxi Pavilion, frowning and drinking tea.

Qiu Shiya and other concubines who were not pregnant sat on both sides below and listened to the painful labor sounds of Wang Xifeng in the bedroom, talking incoherently.

Originally, Li Chenghan calculated the time and thought that Wang Xifeng and other girls were about to give birth.

But Li Chenghan didn't expect that Wang Xifeng actually started when he was in the morning court at 2.9.

When he got the news after the court, he hurried over.

When he arrived at Fuxi Pavilion, Su Qin, Li Wan and other queens and concubines had already arrived.

Just considering that Su Qin and Li Wan and other girls were also about to give birth, they always came to listen to the screams of labor, which inevitably made them feel fearful and anxious, so Li Chenghan let Su Qin and other pregnant women go back.

Although it was not the first time for Li Chenghan to wait for his child to be born, he was still a little nervous.

After all, this was not only his child, but also Wang Xifeng's first child.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for having a prince, the system rewards: Six Sword Slave Summoning Card."

At the moment when Wang Xifeng's screams gradually weakened and a loud cry sounded, the system also directly issued a reward. . []
