The Concubine of the Red Chamber

Chapter 49

Jun Zezhen was a little surprised at once, he never thought that Jia Lan would refuse this matter without thinking, or he never thought that Jia Lan would have the courage to refuse this matter.After being stunned for a moment, he looked at Jia Lan and asked, "Careful? Why did Ms. Jia say that? Ms. Jia said that men and women are different. Xiaoba would rather endure the severe pain than come and disturb Ms. Jia. Ms. Jia's life in Jia's house is not good Happy, why do you have to give in? Could it be that you look down on our Xiaoba?"

"No!" Jia Lan clenched her fists violently. She never thought of looking down on Jun Zexuan, and knew that she must not be misunderstood because of this, so she hurriedly said: "My little girl has never felt that the Eighth Prince can be looked down upon by others. The prince is a Chicheng. The little girl is not worthy of the eighth prince. It is not an evasion, nor is it false. The eighth prince is sincere and talented. The little girl is just... the little girl is not ordinary in wit and resourcefulness. It is really difficult for a little girl to match the position of the eighth prince."

"If the match doesn't match, Xiaoba has the final say, and he just wants to." Jun Zezhen suddenly felt that it was redundant to come and talk to Jia Lan. In his opinion, this Jia San knew everything, but he just thought too much, and Xiaoba Eighth, I don't think about anything every day.He could hear Jia Lan's meaning, but he was just worried that he could not do well as the concubine, and he was worried about being counted against again, but he just didn't need her to do anything, as long as he took good care of Xiao Ba, it was more important than anything else in his opinion.

"Xiao Ba is my younger brother. If Ms. Jia San really doesn't want to, I won't force it. After all, I hope my younger brother will live a happy life. If, as Ms. Jia San said, I don't feel bad for Xiao Ba, I will I hope you can think about it carefully, Xiao Ba is a good choice for Miss Jia, I think you are aware of your situation." Jia Lan kept thinking about the last words of the fifth prince, she knew that what the fifth prince said was right, Ba The prince is indeed a very good choice for herself, but... She is still a little hesitant in her heart. She has been trapped in the palace all her life, and she has lived such a low-key life without freedom all her life. What is the meaning of her life?

But these days, if you marry someone else in the future, don't you need to bear it?Jia Lan thought in a daze.

"Not good, the third princess has a fever!" Even though Jia Lan was hesitating in his heart, life must be passed. As a companion, even if Jia Lan knew that Princess Baoqing didn't like her, she still had to accompany her often. by her side.Because when Jia Lan knew that Jia Min was about to enter the palace, and was even very likely to be the companion of Princess Baoqing, she knew in her heart that Princess Baoqing would definitely not feel comfortable, so she was always jealous, so she found out easily Something is wrong with Princess Baoqing.Princess Baoqing was already uncomfortable, but seeing Jia Lan by her side made her even more uncomfortable. Just when she was pulling her arm and wanted to get angry, Jia Lan suddenly let out an exclamation, and the palace people around her immediately exploded.

Princess Baoqing had been feeling unwell for two days, and she didn't want to come to class, but she met Concubine Zhen in Xianfei Palace the day before. Princess Qing was not angry, she satirized Concubine Zhen a few words, which made Emperor Longchang a little unhappy, Concubine Xian immediately pretended that although Concubine Zhen's poems were good, they were too sad, Princess Baoqing was too young to understand.Princess Baoqing boasted very colorfully that she would definitely write better poems than Concubine Zhen's sour poems, which made Emperor Longchang very happy when he heard the words, and said that he would wait for his daughter's poems.Princess Baoqing came to class today feeling uncomfortable.

Jia Lan suddenly exclaimed, and Princess Baoqing felt even more uncomfortable. Jia Lan hurriedly supported Princess Baoqing and sent someone to invite the imperial physician.

"What's going on?" Before the imperial physician arrived, Emperor Longchang just happened to come to the school to test his children's studies. When this happened, Feng Lan hurriedly reported to Emperor Longchang about Princess Baoqing's fever.

Emperor Longchang glanced at Feng Lan, remembering that he was the female official he gave to Baoqing, he frowned slightly, thinking that she was not safe in doing things, the princess was sick, why didn't he dare to go in and persuade her to go back to the palace to rest?

"I don't want to disappoint my father. I want to write poems that make my father proud. My father is so good, but they still write such sour poems. I want to write poems to say that my father is the best." Princess Baoqing The original weak expression became weaker after seeing Emperor Longchang, and he leaned his whole body weight on Jia Lan and said softly.

Emperor Longchang felt a little relieved when he heard the words, and stretched out his hand to touch his daughter's forehead. It was indeed much hotter than ordinary people. Feng Lan took the opportunity to say that Princess Baoqing had been feeling uncomfortable these days, and Emperor Longchang quickly let her People go to urge again, so that the imperial hospital will send more imperial doctors.

"Princess Baoqing has chickenpox?" After the imperial physician came, he moved Princess Baoqing back to her residence, and Emperor Longchang also followed. During the consultation with the imperial physician, Emperor Longchang punished Princess Baoqing for her slaves carelessly Kneeling in the courtyard, even Jia Lan, Chen Juan, and Wu Wanjun's three companions were reprimanded by Emperor Longchang for a while, and they were punished to kneel in the garden together.Princess Baoqing was uncomfortable at first, so she invited the imperial doctor, but she was treated according to the general cold treatment. After the consultation with several imperial doctors this time, they discussed with each other, and then the female doctor found small red spots on Princess Baoqing's neck and arms, so finally It was confirmed that Princess Baoqing had chickenpox.

Emperor Longchang had chickenpox when he was a child, and he was very relieved. Although chickenpox was not a serious illness, it was still contagious. Emperor Longchang directly sealed off Princess Baoqing's palace and locked him in the room together with Jia Lan and others. Concubine Zhen, the concubine and sixth prince who Princess Qing had been in contact with in the past few days, was also banned in the palace.

"You can't go there!" Princess Baoqing had chickenpox, and the news that Jia Lan and others were banned soon spread throughout the palace. After Jun Zexuan found out, he was worried and wanted to go and see. Said: "It's just chicken pox, if you get it accidentally, it doesn't matter. Didn't you promise your fifth brother to be good? You go now, you like Jia San and others know, will she be fine?"

Jun Zexuan broke away from Gu Qingyan's arm very irritably, sat on the chair with a frown, and asked worriedly: "Is she really alright?"

"It's okay!" Gu Qingyan said firmly.

After Jun Zexuan heard the words, he stopped talking. At night, he only asked Xiao Wu, who was the most skilled, to send two bottles of rose fragrance to Jia Lan. Chase chickenpox is not an explanation for a serious illness.

Jia Lan is not worried that she will be infected. With plum blossom dew, even if infected, it will be cured soon. However, looking at Wu Wanjun and Chen Juan, she is very scared. Chickenpox is not a fatal disease, but it is easy to leave scars Well, no girl would be willing to get this disease, let alone a girl in her early teens, the more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she couldn't help but worry.

Chickenpox is a highly contagious disease. Even if it is not fatal, several maids around Princess Baoqing have been infected with this disease. Chen Juan also started to have a fever while reading with her, but the imperial doctor only saw it once. So someone made medicine for her, and the maids who served her, except for the two who were loyal from home, had already begun to avoid them. Wu Wanjun cried very sadly.

Except for Nanny Shen, Jia Lan had never had chickenpox, so Jia Lan asked Nanny Shen to go in and have a look, but when she came back, she heard that the maids in the palace were really too ugly, and even the medicine was not given. At the door, one of the two loyal maids beside Chen Juan also seemed to be infected.

"How could this happen?" Jia Lan was a little worried when she heard the words. She didn't communicate much with Chen Juan, and seeing what Chen Juan said, she couldn't help feeling a bit sad.Chen Juan's grandfather was still a cabinet scholar, but he was also neglected in this way.

Huier sighed, lightly patted Jia Lan on the shoulder and comforted, "Miss, don't be afraid, I will always be with you. Chickenpox is not a serious illness, and Miss Chen will definitely come back."

"Qiu'er next to me had chickenpox. I asked her to help take care of it for two days. After all, we are all in the same yard. I also hope that sister Chen will recover soon." Wu Wanjun frowned and said suddenly.

Jia Lan thought for a while, it was because she couldn't do nothing, she nodded and said, "Then Nanny Shen, you should go and take care of her for a couple of days, the people around Sister Chen are useless."

After Shen Momo and Qiu'er left, Wu Wanjun said quietly: "If you were at home, how could you be so slighted?"

Jia Lan didn't agree, if she was at home, she wasn't even sure if she would be safer than in the palace?Thinking about it carefully, the fifth prince is actually right, the eighth prince is already the best choice she can make.To be honest, Jia Lan felt a little soft-hearted when he saw the two bottles of rose dew and letters that were quietly put into the hands of Nanny Shen. Now, seeing Chen Juan's hesitation in illness, Jia Lan bit her lip when she thought of her own situation. , thinking that if the Eighth Prince could agree to his conditions, it would not be a bad idea to marry him.

It took nine days for Princess Baoqing to suffer from chickenpox until the scars formed, but because there were other patients in the palace, the ban was not lifted until half a month later. In the end, a few small holes were left.

"Thank you two sisters!" Actually, Chen Juan couldn't help but want to catch it when she had chickenpox, but Mother Shen forcefully asked Qiu'er to bind her hands and feet with cloth strips, and then untied her hands and feet until the scars fell. Although she suffered the crime, but Chen Juan's face was only left with marks after the scars, and after a while of care, there will be no traces left. She also knows in her heart that it is the credit of Nanny Shen and Qiu'er. She feels uncomfortable I used to scold Jia Lan and Wu Wanjun for being uneasy and kind, so now I feel a lot of embarrassment in my heart.

"Sister, why bother to say thank you, the three of us are so destined to be accompanied by the three princesses, so we should help each other." After Wu Wanjun stepped forward to take a closer look at the imprint on Chen Juan's face, she patted her chest and said excitedly: "It's a good thing you can Help my sister, so Lan'er and I can feel at ease.
