After rebirth, I made the princes cry

Concubine Jiang's family is a political enemy of Chen Junxie. Although in terms of strength, the Jiang family does not have the capital to compete with Chen Junxie.

Concubine Jiang was favored back then, and Mrs. Xie didn't mind. However, Concubine Jiang tried to provoke Mrs. Xie many times, but she only brought humiliation upon herself. Since Concubine Guo was good friends with Concubine Jiang, of course they shared the same hatred, not to mention Concubine Qiao and Zhaoyang Palace later. They had frequent contacts, and Guo Pin believed that Jiang Pin's death was due to Qiao Pin's frame-up and slander.

In the Changfeng Palace, there were actually some eyes and ears installed by the Changfeng Palace. This person was something Zheng Guiren never expected, because this person was Zheng Guiren's old maid when she was in her private residence, and was her number one confidant.

After Zheng Bei and the third prince came to see him that day, Sikong Tong not only instructed Ying Shu to "enlighten" the third prince, but also told Ying Shu to pay attention to the inside story of Changfeng Palace. Only then did Ying Shu know who betrayed Zheng Guiren, and also found out. Zheng Guiren's words and deeds these days.

Zheng Bei's current wife is actually Zheng Guiren's aunt. When the nine kings seized the throne, Zheng Guiren's biological mother died in Luoyang Palace. At that time, one of the nine kings, King Zhao, successfully forced the palace and kicked his nephew off the throne. After proclaiming himself emperor, many people thought that the battle for the throne had been settled. Moreover, because Mrs. Hua, King Zhao's favorite concubine, was a good friend of Zheng's mother, Zheng's mother took the initiative to show her kindness and often went to the palace to accompany Zheng Bei regardless of Zheng Bei's objections. Mrs. Hua was having a banquet, but she didn't know that King Zhao's brother, King Jin, secretly planned an uprising and succeeded in one fell swoop. Before Zheng's mother could recover, she died under the knife of a rebel.

Zheng Guiren lost his mother when he was seven years old. Later, Zheng Bei married his wife's sister as his stepmother, but the stepmother was a concubine. Zheng Guiren respected his stepmother before entering the palace, but after entering the palace, his attitude changed. Resentment of the stepmother is nothing more than contempt. Since she didn't regard her stepmother as her biological elder, she naturally couldn't listen to those words of advice, and her attitude was extremely perfunctory. However, she also knew that her stepmother's words were her biological father's opinions, so she didn't refute them openly, only confessed to her confidants, and still used her all these years to The people recruited and bribed in Taicheng sent the letter directly to his brother Zheng Yao.

Lin, the head of the Changfeng Palace, actually had resentment against Zheng Guiren for a long time.

This was what Zhong Changshi told Yingshu.

"Lin Dianzhi's family originally had fertile fields and mulberry gardens. Although she was a commoner, she didn't have to be a slave. However, her father passed away early and her brother was in poor health. The family business gradually declined, and he was taken over by powerful men. She was forced to sell fertile farmland and mulberry fields at low prices, but the family could barely survive. Her brother had the idea of ​​​​attaching himself to Changping Zheng in order to reduce taxes. Unexpectedly, another disaster hit and he lost all his income. .

Changping Zheng took the opportunity to buy the Lin family's land at a low price and turned them into tenants. As expected of Lin Dianzhi's luck, Zheng Guiren took notice of her with his own eyes and insisted on buying her as a slave. Her brother thought It is easier to be a personal maid for a noble girl than to weave and farm, and since she has become a tenant, my sister has no hope of marrying into a good family. Maybe she will have a better future with the appreciation of Zheng Guiren, so she persuaded her. Lin Dianzhi.

Zheng Guiren originally treated Lin Dianzhi well, but Lin Dianzhi didn't want to enter the palace at all. She just wanted to see her family from time to time. But now that she has become a slave, she can't help herself with many things. Before entering the palace, Zheng Guiren The nobleman also promised to take good care of Lin Dianzhi's family. Who would have known that Zheng Guiren had long forgotten his original promise. Ten years ago, Lin Dianzhi's brother passed away due to overwork. Not long after, her sister-in-law also died of illness. Her nephew was still young at that time. , unable to manage farming, he was treated as a servant by the steward of the farm. The year before last, he was beaten to death for making some minor mistakes. "

Yingshu felt speechless: "Is this how Zheng Guiren treats his confidants?"

"In Zheng Guiren's view, it is natural for Lin Dianzhi to be loyal to her. A slave has only his master and no family in his heart. What Lin Dianzhi wanted back then was just for peace of mind, and in recent years, Lin Dianzhi has It is true that the palace administrator has never asked about his family’s current situation.”

"Lin Dianzhi only thinks that her family only needs to have enough food and clothing, which is easy for a powerful man like Chang Ping Zheng. If she asks about her family all the time, will it bore Guiren Zheng?"

"She doesn't ask Guiren Zheng, but of course she will try her best to find out about her family's situation. However, her connections are limited. They are all people recruited by Guiren Zheng. The people below know that her family is not taken care of by Changping Zheng. Who dares to Tell her the truth? Lin Dianzhi has been kept in the dark."

"Aweng told Lin Dianzhi the truth?"

"Zheng Guiren is acting cautiously. Although it is easy to install ears and eyes in Changfeng Palace, it is difficult for those eyes and ears to gain Zheng Guiren's trust. I have no choice but to choose among Zheng Guiren's own confidants. Lin Dianzhi actually has a niece, She was selected as a weaver in Zheng's own Weaving Department in Changping, but she was not a real slave. Two years ago, His Majesty ordered that the Palace Weaving Department be fully stocked, so I tried every means to recruit that woman to the Palace Weaving Department. Fortunately, Changping Zheng didn't care about the life and death of Lin Dianzhang's family, but his subordinates deliberately concealed the matter.

The people below are not Changping Zheng's domestic slaves. They only know how many members of Lin Dianzhi's family have died, and they don't care whether there are any survivors. Lin Dianzhi is in the deep palace and cannot get out of the palace, so they are not afraid of Lin Dianzhi. The palace leader knew the truth, so he allowed me to exploit this loophole. Only after Lin Dianzhi met her niece did she know the exact situation of her family. Could she be free of resentment in her heart?

She didn't ask for anything, she just asked me to find a proper way out for her niece, marry a kind man, have someone to rely on during her lifetime, and someone to die with when she gets old. Alas, in fact, Lin Dianzhi knew in his heart that His Majesty did not As for not giving Zheng Gui a way out in life, her own life, whether she was taking orders from Zheng Gui or His Majesty, would be like this. No matter how long she lived, she would end up alone and old, with weeds and graves. "

The palace official is not a female official, she is still a palace maid in essence, but she was granted the authority of the palace official by Concubine Zheng. The Lin family has long passed the marriageable age, even if the third prince finally became the winner of the battle for the crown prince, Concubine Zheng became the ruler of Yongle. The Lin family has no hope of leaving the palace, and the palace ladies who died of old age in the inner court can only get coffins and be buried in tombs. There will be no monuments in front of the tombs, and no one will enshrine their tablets. I don’t know their death taboos.

It is destined to be this fate, but people are not ants after all.

Mrs. Lin offered the warm goat's milk and knelt down on one side. Seeing the empty porcelain cup placed on the table, she signaled the maid to take the empty cup away and presented the stove to Concubine Zheng. Concubine Zheng didn't say much. , she spent a lot of time meditating, so she also had time to think. Half of her life was spent on survival, and sometimes she thought she was lucky to be able to talk.

When she was young, there was a carefree scene. It was such a distant and vague memory that she even deliberately wanted to forget it, but there was still a string in her life. Even if it was covered with dust, it was not completely broken. The wind blew. There are also gentle string sounds. She misses her family deeply. After her loving father passed away, her brother and sister-in-law, like her parents, tried their best to make her live a relaxed life. When she closed her eyes, her dreams were filled with a flickering oil lamp. She and she The sister-in-law waited for her brother to return home. The brother was very tired. After washing his face with hot water, he let out a long breath.

Zheng Guiren once told her: "You have to repay your brother and sister-in-law."

How to repay? It is to accompany the noble man into the palace, stay away from the fireworks of the world, and spend the rest of his imprisoned life in exchange for his brother no longer working hard and no longer worrying about the harvest; in exchange for his sister-in-law no longer being worried and worrying that his brother will be dragged down by hard work; in exchange for Nephews and nieces can grow up carefree, prosperous and safe.

For this reason, she did not hesitate to walk on thin ice and work hard.

She once believed that.

She didn't have many desires, and what she wanted was nothing more than this. For Concubine Zheng, it was easy and effortless, so she concealed her lingering concern. She could only secretly ask someone to report to her brother that he was safe, and all she gained was Good news, she once thought that her wish had been fulfilled, and all she had had were sweet dreams. One day, she would see her family, her brother and sister-in-law would have healthy and happy hair, her nephew would marry a virtuous woman, and her niece would marry a good woman. husband.

Ten years have passed, and she doesn't know that her brother and sister-in-law have passed away, her nephew was also killed with a stick, and only her niece is still alive, her youthful years, but her face is covered with dust and frost.

However, Zheng Guiren does not appear to be aging. She wears brocade clothes, wears her hair in a high bun, and drinks a cup of goat's milk at certain times. She even does not care about the expenses in the palace. She enjoys such wealth, but her brother and sister-in-law died of hard work. , her nephew was tortured and killed by the steward of the farm!

How could she not hate it? !

So what if it’s hateful? Even if she kills Zheng, her family cannot be resurrected, and she still has concerns. She has to find a home for her niece. She still has to endure it, gritting her teeth. She can betray Zheng, but she can't. Betray the third prince.

"Go to Hanguang Hall." Concubine Zheng said.

Mrs. Lin immediately focused her attention: "Madam, at this time... the best policy is to keep a low profile and bide our time."

"I have a sense of proportion." Concubine Zheng glanced at Mrs. Lin and frowned: "Your Majesty just warned me not to target Jiang Donghe. I also changed my strategy. It is naturally useless to be an enemy of Jiang Donghe at this time, so I will help Jiang Donghe should lend a hand. This idiot of the He family wants to take control of the harem and completely suppress Queen Yu. This salty fish cannot stand up, but she does not have such great ability!

Xianyang Palace is already in danger. Now He's only opponent is Xie. She has to take action. I am only responsible for setting the stage. He must take the lead in attacking! "

"Madam, please think twice. Chen Jun Xie is not easy to deal with, let alone... His Majesty trusts the Queen Empress so much, how can he punish Mrs. Xie..."

"I just want to let your majesty know that as long as I fight back, no matter who he trusts, he can only compromise!" Concubine Zheng said coldly: "I, Changfeng Palace, have suffered such a shame and humiliation, and it seems that I am the mastermind of Zhaoyang Palace. Since Wang Yingshu entered the palace Later, Concubine Xie really became more powerful. They chose me to attack, which is considered to be their vision. But if I just give in, wouldn't I let them succeed? I had no intention of confronting Zhaoyang Palace head-on, but at this time I had no choice, that's all. , there is always a war, and since the Xie family has declared war, I will accept it!"

"My slave obeys the order."

Lin left the Changfeng Palace, her expression still calm. Over the years she had been in the palace, she had seen life, death, honor and disgrace. She had always believed that only Mrs. Within the palace walls, everyone is a chess piece, and there is only one person who really controls the chess game.
