After rebirth, I made the princes cry

"Do you know what I think?"

Nanci put his hands back on his knees. He could now face the sun, and his eyes would not be swollen due to the heat of the sun. He could not actually walk to the main hall of the once dilapidated ghost house that became a prison, so at that time He couldn't hope that after winter, the grass and trees would become vigorous in spring, and the uncared for flowers and plants would wither and die. He thought over and over again why he ended up in that situation. There were countless possibilities, but there was no definite answer.

"There are some things we cannot choose, such as who we like and who we hate. I cannot accept that just because I am a member of the Sikong clan, I should be persecuted and lose my loved ones. Later I found out, Sikong Beichen is timid. He must have been jealous of me for a long time because he couldn't share carefree time with you and talk and laugh without restraint like me.

I don’t want to be Sikong Beichen’s sibling, Yingshu. I’m glad that we can be close friends. Like and dislike are the freest emotions in life. There is no room for choice and no restrictions. Moreover, all living beings are equal. Everyone has these two emotions. Even an ignorant baby can laugh and cry. Then It’s how they express their likes and dislikes. "

Yingshu actually didn't want Nanci's comfort.

She could only confide her current anger to Nanci. There were some things she hadn't told Nanci. She even hated herself for having been impressed by Sikong.

Wang Yingshu was once stupid and believed in superficial words and deeds. She was also complacent because of the satisfaction of her vanity. She felt that with Sikong Beichen's backing, she could do anything. She thought that she had tried her best to finally let Nan Ci be free again, but Nan Ci knew Sikong Beichen's viciousness, but in order not to embarrass her, he forced a smile and even ignored his illness to help her consolidate the imperial power for Sikong Beichen.

But before today, she was still lucky, hoping that Sikong Beichen's ill will towards Nanci was not caused by her, but by someone else who fanned the flames and sow discord.

The truth was revealed in front of her eyes, and she had no way to avoid it. She knew that Nanci actually woke up earlier than her, but he accompanied her to verify again that no matter how upset she was, it was nothing more than asking for trouble, but suppressing emotions and suppressing them was always necessary. To put it bluntly, no one could complain about these words except Nanci. Yingshu just didn't want to cry.

She rarely cried, and the time when she shed the most tears was when she lost Changle. That was the time when she was most vulnerable, and when she began to rely on Sikong Beichen. Whenever she sheds tears, her brain will become muddled, and her eyes will always be hazy with tears. She couldn't see people and things clearly, so when she was grieving later, she remembered to hold back her tears.

That night, He Liangren was favored.

The emperor generally did not summon his concubines, but said he favored them. He would visit the concubines' palaces and save the concubines from tossing back and forth. This showed how much they valued high-ranking concubines. As for the concubines under the imperial concubine, that is, the low-ranking palace family members such as talented people and middle-level talented people, they will be summoned. The palace family members who are summoned will be carried into the Qianyang Hall in colorful sedans. After sleeping, they will be carried Returning to the place of residence - the Qianyang Palace, even the queen cannot stay overnight. Yinchu must return to her residence. This is the law of the palace. However, the law of the palace will not be supervised by foreign ministers. If the emperor does not abide by it, the queen will Ignore it, it doesn't matter if you violate it.

He Liangren was lucky enough to be called.

That night, Yingshu also met He Liangren who was summoned. It was cold at night, and He Liangren was not waiting in the bedroom. He actually broke into the imperial study with a crane cloak wrapped in gauze. The emperor She was still approving the memorial, and she didn't know if she had forgotten that she had the honor of summoning him today. In short, the situation was awkward for a while. Yingshu quickly retreated. When she walked out of the imperial study, she heard He Liangren's sweet voice, urging the emperor to "sooner" Placement”.

Holding back her laughter, she went straight back to her duty room and fell asleep.

The women in the harem, in order to retain their favor, always resorted to many tricks. Bribing the eunuchs serving the emperor in the Qianyang Palace to remind them from time to time was an old trick. Some did the opposite and chose the eunuchs in front of the emperor to offend. The eunuchs were fooled. The emperor's bad words about the palace concubines are also a reminder that the emperor's heart is unpredictable, and as long as a woman is remembered by the emperor, she will at least have a chance to be favored.

Tang Shui is not something that ordinary people can send into the Qianyang Palace. Only concubines of the first level occasionally use this method to hint. Female imperial concubines will frequently visit the palaces of favored concubines in the hope of being recommended, but the probability is not high, so that's not the case. You have to fight for it; then there are the talents displayed at various palace banquets to attract the attention of the emperor; more cleverly, they make some "inventions", such as making shadow puppets, and inviting the female emperors who have made friends several times to play, and gradually spread, these Most of the folk operas can arouse the interest of the king - they are rare but strange.

In short, as the selected daughter to enter the palace in the 12th year of Jianxing election, He Liangren was the first one to be summoned. This still attracted the attention of the palace family members. Even the middle daughter Yi could not hold back. The next morning, he couldn't wait to He whispered to Yingshu: "There are two vacancies for the ninth concubine. At this juncture, Your Majesty has summoned He Liangren. Shouldn't we be ready?"

"what to prepare?"

"Don't pretend to be confused with me. He Liangren was recommended by Mrs. He. It is very likely that he will be promoted to the concubine, but it is unlikely that he will be the first of the nine concubines. In the past, the title of Jiang concubine... is also unlikely to be given to someone else. Others, that is to say, among the existing concubines, it is time for one of them to be promoted to concubine Shu. The head of the nine concubines still has to perform the ceremony, and of course prepare the ceremony."

"I don't understand this matter. If there really was a decree, it would be the middle daughter Yi who would discuss it with Mrs. Xie."

The middle girl Yi had no choice but to sigh: "There is still a difference between the duties of a female historian and a female Yi. You also know me. I am not the kind of person who flatters the superior and disdains the inferior. But to survive in the harem, you have to be measured. The current situation is about pursuing advantages and avoiding disadvantages. Today’s concubines, Jian Concubine, Qiao Concubine, and Li Concubine all have princes. Shi Concubine is also very special. Among these four people, if Concubine Jian becomes the concubine Shu, everyone will not have to worry. , Concubine Qiao and Concubine Shi...the two noble masters are interested in each other, and you know this better than me."

"Not to mention that Concubine Yang is close to the Queen, and Concubine Su is close to Mrs. He. As for Concubine Guo, she was very close to Concubine Jiang at the beginning. They kept silent for these years, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that she and Concubine Xie There is a deep rift between Madam and Concubine Qiao."

"Just say you are a sensible person, Ah Shu. I just want to know who I shouldn't offend."

Of course, the concubine Yi can't influence the promotion of the concubine, but because in the Qianyang Palace, any concubine who has an idea about the title of concubine Shu will make a roundabout gesture to show her favor to the concubine Yi, hoping to hear some rumors from her mouth. If everyone refuses the wedding ceremony, she will inevitably be hated by others in the future. Although the female official is a member of the palace family, she is never the same as the concubine. If you want to start well and end well, you can't make too many enemies.

Yingshu was also considerate of the middle-aged girl Yi and reminded her in a low voice: "The reason why your majesty punished the queen is not to clear up the atmosphere in the inner court? What is the atmosphere in the inner court? Who cares about your majesty wholeheartedly and does not care about fame and position? Those who are powerful, let alone those who will not conspire for their own selfish desires, will surely be favored by His Majesty in the future."

"Thank you for your advice." The middle girl Yi was grateful, and then smiled and said: "Actually, I was young at that time, and my behavior was not as thorough as it is now. I really offended that person, who looked at me for a long time. It was the nose, not the nose, not the eyes. Later, for some reason, that person actually forgot about his old grudges and suddenly stopped complaining about me. After thinking about it afterwards, I realized that even when that person still hated me, he never complained about me. If he had slandered me in front of His Majesty, I wouldn't have to worry if that person had been promoted to Concubine Shu."

But within two days, He Liangren was severely reprimanded, and the possibility of being promoted to concubine was basically cut off.

He Liangren's actions really made Yingshu dumbfounded. She was summoned twice, but she actually told people everywhere that she stayed at Qianyang Palace, had breakfast with His Majesty in Qianyang Palace, and then returned to Hanguang Palace. This is a big lie, and It was too easy to be exposed. When the summoned female imperial concubine returned to her residence, the palace guards who were on duty at night knew clearly.

Speaking of it, He Liangren's lies were nothing. But at this juncture, many people were staring at Concubine Shu's vacancy. Concubine Guo questioned Mrs. To comply with the law, but not to stop? So the matter could not be settled. His Majesty the Emperor reprimanded He Liangren, asked Mrs. He to discipline him, and asked the middle daughter Yi to supervise him.

The middle girl Yi whispered to Yingshu again: "Mrs. He was also very upset. Your Majesty only asked Haosheng to discipline him, but she punished He Liangren with flogging. Well, I watched with cold eyes. It was Concubine Su who was adding insult to injury. Su Bin shouldn't be like this... That's all, in front of you, I won't say those vague words.

There is no way He Liangren could go past Concubine Su. Su Concubine made a big fuss in the Xianyang Palace and offended Her Highness the Queen. Concubine Yang and Concubine Su were the fiercest in the fight over Concubine Shu. The mistake implicated Mrs. He, and Su Bin probably felt that it also affected her, so she resented He Liangren so much. "

"Li Bin was also involved in this matter," Yingshu said.

"Empress Li Bin felt that He Liangren lied and damaged Your Majesty's reputation. Only Empress Li Bin firmly believed that He Liangren could not stay in Qianyang Palace. She said... that even she had never enjoyed such a special exception. She was just a good person. No matter how virtuous or capable a person is.”

Yingshu smiled and said nothing.

"Why do you think so highly of Li Bin?"

"Your Majesty is used to the scheming of women, and among the concubines, only Concubine Li has no scheming. Her emotions and sorrows are all displayed on her face. It is clear at a glance that the position of concubine Shu is nothing to fight for. After deposing concubines, she takes possession of concubine Shu. She has been in the position for many years and is said to be the head of the nine concubines. How much higher is her honor than the other concubines? However, since there are so many people competing for it, Your Majesty will definitely give the position of Concubine Shu to those who value it. This is Your Majesty's warning. Palace dependents are the basis and standard for gaining honor."

"But Concubine Jian, Concubine Jian... isn't she also unintentional?"

"It's not that Empress Jian has no motive, she doesn't strive for fame and position." Yingshu blinked: "Actually, it doesn't matter whether it's a man or a woman, it's the same. They don't want to be a tool for others to seek fame and wealth; You seek peace and quiet, and don’t care about sentimentality or ruthlessness. Therefore, if Empress Jian does not ask for it, Your Majesty will not grant it. Let us all be well and save each other’s worries.”

"Listening to your tone, you really don't sound like a girl who has just grown hair and has never been in love." The middle girl Yi joked with a smile.

Yingshu also smiled: "My high-ranking parents are envied by the world as a couple of gods and immortals. I have been influenced by them. Since I was a child, I have seen them playing the piano and the harp, combining poems and paintings, chatting under the moonlight and drinking wine, and expressing their anger and resentment in front of flowers and under the moon. I am not a stubborn person, and I have some understanding of the connection between looking and looking. My father and mother are quarrelsome, and my father is calm and composed when my mother is quarrelsome, but if my mother is not angry, she will be respectful to my father. Although gentle and gentle, my father was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, and ordered me to make my mother angry all day long. This is all based on experience."

The middle girl's smile suddenly felt lonely.

Yingshu also sighed secretly.
