Quick Wear: I've never been a good person

Chapter 515: Welcoming Spring in the Red Mansion (27)

But as the years passed, his position remained firmly in place.

Even those princes who had previously harbored rebellious tendencies stopped their actions and no longer dealt with him as they had dealt with the King of Loyalty.

And he's a ruthless guy!

In the dream, in order to drag the Jia family into trouble, he even set himself up and suddenly made the elderly Yuanchun a royal concubine.

Now seeing him speaking to him in such a friendly manner, Jia She felt a chill on his back.

He knelt down and kowtowed again, "I have done my duty for the Emperor, and I dare not ask for any reward."

When the emperor heard this, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face, but he politely asked Jia She to propose the reward he wanted.

Jia She thought about it and realized that there was indeed something he was not good at, so he bowed to the emperor again before speaking.

"Your Majesty, speaking of rewards, I do have something I would like to ask Your Majesty for a favor."

When the emperor saw that Jia She actually asked for a reward, his face froze instantly. Of course, Jia She, who was kowtowing, did not notice.

The emperor picked up the teacup and gently skimmed off the foam, without any emotion in his words.

"Oh, I wonder what kind of favor Lord Jia wants? Tell me about it."

Jia She seemed not to notice the coldness in the emperor's words and continued talking to himself.

"Your Majesty, this matter of mine is actually not a big deal to you."

The emperor took a sip of tea and said nothing, just waiting for Jia She's next words.

Jia She did not hesitate and spoke directly from his heart.

"Even you know that after my brother-in-law Lin Ruhai passed away, he left behind an only daughter who was only about ten years old.

I had the honor of seeing him for the last time. Before he died, he asked me to help raise his only daughter.

The child is my niece, so it is my duty to raise her.

But you also know that I am a rough man, how can I raise a child?

As for my family member who comes from a poor family, he understands even less about these things.

Therefore, I beg Your Majesty to give my niece a nanny for the sake of my brother-in-law's loyalty, okay?

That way, when my niece grows up, she won't be criticized by others for being the eldest daughter of a widow."

The emperor really didn't expect such a good opportunity. The reward Jia She proposed was so simple.

This is not even considered a reward. There is not much else in the palace, but the servants serving here are the most.

Although there is a rule that one can leave the palace at the age of 25, most homeless people do not leave the palace.

When they grew old, they naturally became a burden to the palace.

Now that Jia She wants someone to leave, it will just help relieve him of some of the burden.

He also felt that Jia She would inevitably suffer a loss, so he asked him again.

"Besides this, what other reward do you want?"

Jia She simply shook his head and refused.

"Your Majesty, I am very satisfied with my current life!

Really! My family already has a title, and as for food, clothing, and daily necessities, we have no shortage of them at the moment.

It is just this one worry that has kept me awake at night for a while, for I am afraid of failing to live up to my brother-in-law's trust.

I only ask Your Majesty to help me resolve this matter. My whole family will be grateful to you!"

After saying this, he prostrated himself on the ground.

The emperor saw the determination in Jia She's eyes and knew that he really didn't want any other rewards. He was happy and nodded happily.

"Okay, when I get back I'll tell the Queen to send two nurses to your Lin girl.

By the way, I heard that your family also has a daughter, right?"

Jia She was startled and didn't know what the emperor meant by asking this question.

If he could have used Yingchun to exchange for his future before he had the dream, he would naturally be very happy.

But now he was very clear in his mind that the emperor would never use him in his life.

Unless he can train the next generation, the entire First-Class General's Mansion will sooner or later become obscured by the crowd.

Therefore, he gave up the idea of using Yingchun to change his future.

He also thought about the bad thing he did in the dream, marrying Yingchun to Sun Shaozu, the wolf from Zhongshan, to pay off his debt.

As a result, she died from domestic violence in less than a year.

Whenever Jia She thought of Yingchun's ending in his dream, he felt both heartbroken and a little guilty.

I only want to find her a man from a lower-class family in this life, and give her more dowry so that she can live a carefree life.

But since the emperor had brought it up on his own initiative, he couldn't be ungrateful.

He lowered his head deeply and said, "Your Majesty, I do have a daughter in my family, but she is still young."

The emperor looked at Jia She defending his daughter and nodded slightly.

"Alright, then let the Queen choose two foster nurses for her."

After hearing this, Jia She became even more panicked.

Resisting the urge to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, he knelt down to express his gratitude.

Nanny came home very quickly.

The next day, the emperor's personal eunuchs sent four maids in their thirties and forties to the palace.

They introduced themselves as Madam Fu, Madam Gui, Madam Qian, and Madam Man.

Because it was prepared for Shuangshuang and Daiyu, Jia She quickly ordered someone to invite Shuangshuang and Daiyu to the main courtyard.

Shuangshuang saw a few maids who were a bit old, but they had such a dignified demeanor that one could tell at a glance that they were definitely not servants in the palace.

Sure enough, in order to show the emperor's attention to this matter, the eunuch whispered to Jia She.

"Sir, these maids were originally high-ranking female officials serving the Empress Dowager."

When Jia She heard that they were all female officials of high ranks, his eyes lit up instantly.

These days, his mother comes to pick up Daiyu every day.

She said that he was taking him over to keep her company, but in reality her beloved Jia Baoyu was always present.

Everyone knows what kind of evil intention this is.

Fortunately, his daughter is sensible and knows how to share his worries.

Every time someone came to pick up Daiyu, no matter what she was doing, she would quickly follow to protect her.

But in such matters, Yingchun, as a junior, sometimes cannot disobey the old lady.

But the female officials around the Empress Dowager in the palace were different.

No matter how powerful his mother was, she would certainly not dare to disrespect the Empress Dowager.

Jia She sincerely bowed to the maids to express his gratitude, and then introduced them to them.

"This is my daughter Yingchun and my niece Daiyu. Madams, please tell me if they are pleasing to you."

The maids looked at each other. The empress dowager had given instructions before they left the palace.

This time the emperor sent them mainly to show favor to the Lin family.

It is also to show the world that as long as you are loyal to him, his descendants will do their best to protect you even if he is gone.

Therefore, when they came here, in addition to teaching Daiyu and Yingchun some tips on how to behave and the rules, they also had to protect Daiyu from being bullied.

In order to make them more legitimate and more feared by others, the empress dowager even raised their ranks before leaving the palace.

It was raised from the original fifth rank to the current third rank.
