After rebirth, I made the princes cry

In the fifteenth year of Jianxing in her previous life, Yingshu was forced into the palace. At that time, she was in her 29th year. She had just "upgraded" to become a mother and embarked on a changing path in life. From then on, there was not a day when she was not Walking on thin ice, she lost more people she held dear to her from then on.

Because Wang Dao failed to prevent Ying Shu from entering the palace, he watched his precious daughter in danger. In order to become a more solid support for Ying Shu and have the ability to protect Ying Shu, he was obviously not good at military affairs, but he insisted on fighting with the army. After that, he was separated from his wife and daughter forever, and even his body was detained by Northern Zhao. Gong Xianglu, the prime minister of Northern Zhao, clamored that unless Wang Lan personally came to Northern Zhao as a hostage, he would return Wang Dao's bones and let him rest in peace. , Wang Dao’s bones will be exposed in the wilderness forever, being whipped daily by the servants of the Prime Minister’s Mansion.

When Jiu Xishi learned about this, she went to see the envoy from Northern Zhao. The envoy was the brother of the emperor of Northern Zhao. He was moved by Jiu Xishi's beauty and promised Jiu Xishi that if Jiu Xishi was willing to be his maid, he could ask Gong Gong. Xiang Lu recovers the bones of Wang Dao.

On the day Wang Dao's body returned to Jiankang City, Jiu Xishi committed suicide. The Northern Zhao envoy thought that Jiu Xishi loved Wang Dao, but he was deeply moved by the fact that she, a commoner woman, was so affectionate and righteous that she handed Jiu Xishi's body to her family. , let Haosheng be buried.

But later, Jiu Xishi's husband and son were persecuted by Da Yu's clan. When Ying Shu learned of this bad news, all she could do was punish the perpetrators. She failed to save Jiu Xishi's husband and son. life. One day, when Yingshu had become queen, her mother came to the palace to visit her. Mrs. Lu got drunk and mistakenly identified Yingshu for Wang Dao, thinking she had seen her husband's ghost.

Yingshu listened to her mother-in-law crying——

Because Dixiu still needs me, I can't accompany you so early. Dixiu is a queen now, but her life still has nothing to do with peace and joy. Saburo, if you really can't wait, just forget me. I'm not as good as Jiu Xishi, it’s a waste of my family background, but I can’t even save your bones. When I think about you being humiliated like that by Gong and Zeng after your death, I can’t do anything... Thanks to Jiu Xishi , thanks to her, but I can't even save her family. I really hate it, hate my own incompetence, and hate this world.

It is now the twelfth year of Jianxing. In early spring, my father is still alive, and my mother-in-law has not felt the heart-piercing pain. Wuyouyuan is here, and Yingshu thinks: Even if I can't make my father and mother truly worry-free. I am worried, but I will never let my favorite family be affected by this chaotic world. In my previous life, my father and mother tried their best to protect me. In this life, it is my turn to protect you.

There is no other way to protect yourself and others. You can only become stronger. Being a queen, a queen mother, or even listening to politics behind the curtain is not enough. You must truly hold the power and have enough strength to intimidate the family and fight against the evil. clan.

She had to enter the palace because she was a woman. There was only one way for a woman to fight for government affairs, fight among clans, and fight against alien races, and it was also the way she was forced to choose in her previous life.

Yingshu had many ways to be "forced" again, but she didn't want to deceive her parents.

After having had enough wine and food, Yingshu should have consciously returned to Xianyue Residence and no longer stayed in Wuyouyuan as a "light" between her parents and adults, but today she was reluctant to leave and made a fuss. He wanted to make tea for his parents, but Wang Dao was not willing to let his precious daughter suffer from the "smoke and fire". He went to light the stove and make tea. When he came back, he saw Yingshu nestling in Mr. Lu's arms. He was holding three bowls of tea soup and put it aside first. , also squeezed to sit on the bed.

"Di Xiu is so clingy to us today, aren't you still worried about marriage? What's the trouble? In fact, I don't like Pei Jiulang at all. It's just that your second uncle Pei always begged me to be my son-in-law, plus The choice of concubine made this matter fall on our family, so I reluctantly let go."

"I don't want to get married."

"Stop saying stupid things. My wife and I are planning to get married, otherwise the official media will interfere."

"If I enter the palace and stand for election, the official media will not be able to interfere."

"How is this okay?!"

Madam Lu and Wang Dao said in unison, and they were immediately serious. Madam Lu was even more anxious: "You were in Guangming Hall today, but you said you didn't want to enter the palace!"

"I was telling my grandfather and eldest brother." Yingshu stopped acting coquettishly and straightened her posture: "Actually, I am willing to enter the palace and be selected."

Yingshu gave her parents time to digest, and she just sat upright, looking at her own shadow. In fact, she hated the days of walking on thin ice and observing people's emotions more than anyone else. Those were the days in the palace. She didn't love that palace, but there were some. People seem to be destined to grow inside, and Yingshu is just one of them.

"Do you know what you are talking about?" Mrs. Lu's voice was deep, but her eyes were red.

"Auntie, the fourth sister cannot enter the palace. I am the only one who should be chosen. Madam Xie really likes me. It is actually safe for me to enter the palace."

"What do you know?!" Mr. Lu raised his voice, but he could not continue to "output". He turned his head away, his face was facing the dark side, and the expression on his face could not be seen clearly.

"Auntie, I know everything." Yingshu stretched out her hand and pulled her mother's sleeve: "Empress Yu came from a poor family, and the prince had no maternal support. Therefore, Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. He both wanted to seize the heirloom. Naturally, Mrs. Xie was not to be outdone. But Mrs. Xie did not give birth to a prince. I have often wondered why Mrs. Xie was not pregnant. Now I have figured it out. His Majesty did not let Mrs. Xie get pregnant. His Majesty wanted to use Chen Junxie to control Jiang Donghe and Changping Zheng."

"Why do you say that, Emperor Xiu?" Wang Dao asked.

"Mrs. He has a second prince, and Mrs. Zheng has a third prince. If Madam Xie also gives birth to a prince, the families behind these three ladies must first unite and depose the prince. Your Majesty has clearly seen this situation, so Mrs. Xie will not Pregnant, Your Majesty is using the Xie family of Chen County behind Mrs. Xie to suppress the Jiangdong He and Changping Zheng families."

"Di Xiu, why do you know this kind of thing?" Madam Lu asked with her head turned away.

"Auntie, I'm not stupid. When His Majesty ascended the throne, our family did not plan to send girls to the palace, and His Majesty never asked our girls to apply for the election. Why is it that now that His Majesty has become an old man, he is still Will you force me to enter the palace?"

"Who said His Majesty forced you to enter the palace?" Lu was really confused this time and completely ignored Ying Shu's "offense" to the emperor.

"It is said that only the daughter of King Langyi can apply for the election, and there is no limit. But even my grandfather realized that your majesty's original intention was to let me enter the palace. But my father and mother claimed that I already have my heart for Pei Jiulang, so your majesty only You reluctantly agreed that the Fourth Sister should be elected, didn’t you?”

Wang Dao listened carefully and nodded subconsciously, acknowledging Ying Shu's analysis.

"In the final analysis, the concubine selection order is actually Madam Xie's proposal. His Majesty wants to use Chen Jun Xie to suppress the He and Zheng families, so he can only agree to Madam Xie's proposal. Madam Xie's idea is that she can't get pregnant and can give birth to a child. , but Mrs. Xie is not willing to randomly choose someone to give birth to her child. A-niang and Mrs. Xie used to be good friends, and Mrs. Xie has always liked me, so Mrs. Xie chose me, but Mrs. Mother discussed it, and A-niang must have refused. Mrs. Xie didn’t want to give up, and she couldn’t push too hard, so she persuaded Your Majesty to let our family, and also restricted the selection of daughters from the Guangmingtang line. Although it seemed that Grandfather was given a choice, but he knew very well that His Majesty did not want Yi Chu at all. In other words, it was impossible for King Langyi's daughter to become pregnant after entering the palace. His Majesty just wanted to paralyze Mrs. Xie, so that Chen Jun Xie would not target her. Quasi-royal.”

Wang Dao couldn't help but nod again.

Mrs. Lu was anxious and glared at Wang Dao, but she was helpless and sighed: "Since Di Xiu knows these connections, why does he still want to dip into this muddy water?"

"Auntie, my grandfather wanted to send me to the palace because he knew that His Majesty regarded me as his own niece. His Majesty even asked me to call him 'Abo'. How could an uncle treat his niece as a concubine? I If she enters the palace, she will definitely cooperate with His Majesty's plan and even save a bowl of 'Juezi Soup'. But if the fourth sister is selected, how can she be willing to lose His Majesty's favor? Those concubines in the palace are using some tricks. It will instigate the fourth sister to fight for favor and use the fourth sister to cause trouble, which will not only be detrimental to His Majesty's plan, but also ruin the fourth sister herself.

But my father and mother protected me and did not want to send me to the dragon's den. My grandfather had no choice but to let the fourth sister apply. But now, the princes all know that the fourth sister and Pei Jiulang plan to elope. Of course I can't apply for the election, and the marriage between me and the Pei family has been abandoned. Madam Xie knows that Pei Jiulang and I have never been in love. If I still don't want to apply for the election, King Langyi will completely offend Chen Jun. Thank you, this is a very unfavorable thing for our family and His Majesty. "

"But you are just a little girl, and you should not bear such a heavy burden. Emperor Xiu, although you will not be favored when you enter the palace, His Majesty does treat you as a junior, but you are already a concubine in the harem in name. , there is no other possibility of marriage." Mr. Lu only has a precious daughter, and he is not willing to see her grow old alone in the palace.

"I understand the painstaking efforts of my father and mother, but I have a different idea. If we were in a peaceful and prosperous age, marrying a good man would indeed lead to happiness. No one would want to go to the imperial palace and the inner court, but this is not the case now. In the peaceful and prosperous times of our family, before the Chinese New Year, my grandfather chose many slaves and maids, and asked the clan members to recognize them as adopted sons and daughters. The adopted sons were educated in Wuxiang Hall like their brothers, and the adopted daughters were There are also aunts and uncles in the clan who teach etiquette and learn music, chess, calligraphy and painting, why is this?"

Mr. Lu did not respond to Ying Shu.

"Last year, the war between Dayu and Northern Zhao failed. The men of the Langyi royal family failed to participate in the war, but they were almost forced by Gong Xianglu of Northern Zhao to give their sons as slaves and their daughters as concubines. Thanks to the current eight powerful families, although they are fighting among themselves They were powerful, but like Ma family, like Fan Yanglu, like Chen Junxie, and like Jiangdong Gu, these four powerful people sternly rejected Gong Xianglu's unreasonable provocation. Only then did the envoy from Northern Zhao agree, and only asked for the sons and daughters of those families who participated in the war. Entered Northern Zhao and became a slave and concubine.

But this case has been made. Who can guarantee that the barbarians in the north, such as the Northern Qi, Northern Jin, Northern Liao and other enemy countries, will not use this method to humiliate the royal family and noble families of Yu in the future? Not only the grandfather, but also the entire family in Dayu have prepared for a rainy day. Isn't it just a precaution to accept so many adopted sons and daughters? If the enemy invades and Dayu is defeated again, and the enemy country demands the noble children as hostages during negotiations, these adopted sons and daughters can be sacrificed as prisoners on our behalf.

Auntie, the country of Dayu is already in a state of crisis and precariousness. Is it true that only the inner court of the imperial palace is like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den? My son is a woman and cannot fight on the battlefield to protect the country and family, but how can I take care of myself in times of crisis? The son knew his grandfather, and he was loyal to the king. The grandfather understood the current situation. The royal family was suppressed by the clans, and the internal fighting among the clans was draining the country's power and military strength, making Dayu even weaker. If he wanted to change this situation, he could only assist. Only by consolidating and strengthening the imperial power and letting the subjects and people be sincere can the royal family hope to save the country from subjugation.

As the legitimate daughter of King Langyi Guangmingtang, my son was protected by the family, raised and cherished by his elders. In the past fifteen years, he had no worries about food and clothing. Now the family needs his efforts and wisdom. He can't just care about her. One's own 'leisure' ignores the overall situation. Dad, grandma, please believe that your son has the ability to protect himself and contribute to the safety of the country. "
