After rebirth, I made the princes cry

The emperor was just thinking about it, and all the palaces and pavilions in the inner court were already in a state of turmoil.

When Yingshu was invited to Concubine Shu's Ningqi Pavilion that day, she was not surprised at all. Concubine Shu saw that she was still calm and clear, so she said something a little "explicit": "For His Majesty, Jin Xu is tempted." Regarding the matter of the talented concubine, Mrs. He vented all her anger on Wang Shaojun. Wang Shaojun was afraid and worried. She couldn't tell others about her grievances, so she could only say a few words here. , Wang Shaojun is still worried about you, my husband, so I don’t want to disturb you at this time. I assessed her thoughts and invited my husband to come today. I originally wanted to give you a few words, but I didn’t expect to see my husband’s expression... ...Sigh, Mrs. Xie is really kind to her husband, and Mrs. Xie’s temperament would not mind her, but it seems that she doesn’t complain about her husband at all.”

Yingshu stopped holding the fan in her hand, tilted her head slightly, and was surprised: "Xu Cairen is so lucky because of the great blessings from heaven. What can I do? How can Madam blame me?" "Thank you Madam, even Madam He, I don't think she really blames my fourth sister. It's just that Madam He's temperament is a bit overbearing and unreasonable. She couldn't think of a countermeasure, so she was angry with my fourth sister for not trying her best."

"My beloved, do you really not care if Xu Cairen usurps your concubine position?"

"I am just a newly elected daughter of the palace, but Xu Cairen is the person in front of the queen. I have served your majesty for a long time. I also have a dragon fetus. I was regarded as a person favored by God by Lord Baichuan. Xu Cairen If she can bring endless blessings to the country, she should be promoted to one of the nine concubines. How can it be said that Xu Cairen has usurped the concubine position?"

Ying Shu looked at Concubine Shu's covered eyelids. She was better maintained than the Queen. Her face was more rosy and there were fewer wrinkles. However, her eyelids were obviously loose. They drooped casually, which made her look cold. Ying Shu didn't care about Concubine Shu's lack of enthusiasm, and continued with a smile: "Mrs. , but since she has been favored, she can no longer slander her because of her humble status, and Xu Cairen has good luck, so she can no longer offend her."

Concubine Shu didn't stay with Yingshu much, and the palace servants who served her were surprised. After sending Yingshu out of Ningqi Pavilion, they couldn't help but ask: "Isn't the empress planning to keep Mr. Wang down for lunch? For this reason, she also specifically told the chef to add How come you didn’t even mention a few dishes?”

"If I want to stay, it depends on whether they are willing to stay."

Concubine Shu's eyelids were drooping all the time, and she was shaking the fan in her hand a little hastily. Her body was already plump, and as she reached middle age, she became more and more plump. Fat people are usually afraid of heat in summer, and Concubine Shu has a big appetite when it comes to hot weather. Affected, she was alone today, facing a table with a very sumptuous lunch, but could not eat anything, so she asked the chef to make porridge for her using pearl rice, and did not even want to take a second look at the delicacies. Your Majesty Person: "Take these dishes away and clean them up immediately."

The palace servants felt distressed when they saw it. They thought that since the empress refused to eat, their servants could share the food, so it would not be a waste. Only then did she take the initiative. Concubine Shu seemed to have read through her thoughts.

"We have cleaned it up, not for you to share the food. Your Majesty wants to use troops, and the queen and prince are advocating frugality. If the servants in the palace are used to eating these delicacies, wouldn't they look forward to such a good meal every meal? Once a person has desires, it is extremely difficult not to be controlled by them. I don’t have much time to guard against people stealing food. Therefore, I still can’t indulge your appetite so that we can fundamentally put an end to extravagance and waste. .”

There was a very clever young eunuch beside Concubine Shu, who immediately flattered her: "What I said is true. Don't worry, I will not let anyone share these delicacies. There are villains watching."

Concubine Shu smiled and turned around. She originally wanted to go to the small couch in the pavilion to take a nap in the morning. After the hottest part of the day, her anxiety subsided, and she carefully considered the next strategy. As he lay down, he saw the very clever little eunuch welcoming Zheng Lianzi in.

"Stop saluting and sit closer to Bingjian. You have come all the way in such a hot weather. Be careful not to catch the heat." Concubine Shu waved to Zheng Lianzi and asked her to sit down. On the couch, the young eunuch was asked to pass on the sour plum soup.

Zheng Lianzi couldn't wait for the sour plum soup, so she hurriedly asked: "Empress, has Wang Yingshu fallen into the trap?"

"She is a clever person. Not only did she not fall into the trap, she didn't even bother to confuse me. She showed her cleverness in front of me. This meant that I would stop making unnecessary mistakes."

"Then what should we do?" Zheng Lianzi was anxious.

Concubine Shu took Zheng Lianzi's hand and said, "The Chen daughter's words may not be credible. I look at Mr. Wang as if he is only planning to help Mrs. Xie. In this way, wouldn't she spoil Da Lang's plan? Da Lang Even if I am really attracted by her beauty, how can I have a temperament that makes her stupid? I will never allow the wives and concubines around me to focus on outsiders. "

"I'm not afraid of ten thousand, I'm just afraid of the worst. Madam, the future crown princess will treat me coldly because she was instigated by Wang Yingshu. Then Liang Siniang has an even more arrogant character. If Wang Yingshu is added to the mix, I will become enemies with her. She won't let me go so deep." Zheng Lianzi's eyes turned red again.

Concubine Shu couldn't help but frowned, and after a long while, she snorted coldly: "These noble ladies from high families look down on those of us who have no family to rely on. It's no wonder that you are so worried and uneasy, but that daughter of the Chen family, How can she be so sure that Da Lang is interested in Wang's daughter?"

"Even if she made up those words, she just wanted to use a knife to kill someone, but my empress, didn't you hear Her Royal Highness herself admit that the prince is indeed interested in Wang Yingshu?"

"The queen did say so, but even the queen didn't think that Da Lang would be obsessed with it. The queen thought, if Wang's daughter was willing to give in to Madam Xie, she would help His Majesty's plan and consolidate Da Lang's As for the reserve position, it would not be a bad idea to give Wang's daughter a place in the East Palace in the future. However, the Queen also had another level of worry. She looked at Wang's daughter's behavior with cold eyes and was not easy to control. She might not be of the same mind as the elder man. If Wang's daughter had How can the queen tolerate her if she has different intentions?"

"Then, why don't you use a trick to make Her Majesty the Queen certain that Wang Yingshu cannot stay?"

"I was also thinking about this path. Don't worry. Let me think about it again. Although Wang Yingshu didn't fall into the trap, Mrs. Pei is really a fool. She also hated Wang Yingshu. In fact, we You can use her."

"Let's do it this way." Zheng Lianzi thought this plan was feasible.

After all, Concubine Shu couldn't take a nap that day. She sent Zheng Lianzi away and summoned her confidant. She was an old palace servant who had been assigned to the Imperial Garden Department. The old palace servant's surname was Qian and his current title was She was Zhongzhi, responsible for managing the personnel of the Imperial Garden Office. Before Sikong Tong became emperor, Qian Zhongzhi was Concubine Shu's maid, and the relationship between master and servant had long been "open and honest".

"I know that your Majesty still misses the old friendship with Zheng Langjun, so I take care of Mr. Zheng like this. But I still want to advise your Majesty to think twice. After all, if something goes wrong, His Highness the Crown Prince will blame your Majesty for making your own decisions."

"Is Da Lang really willing to do anything for a woman?"

"Mother, Your Highness, he is the crown prince, the future king of a country."

"I have decided." Concubine Shu drooped her slack eyelids: "I will not be wrong. Although Wang Lan is loyal to Your Majesty, his granddaughter will not be of the same mind as the Queen and Da Lang, otherwise she will listen to what I say. In the end, she wouldn't refuse so simply. She would never really dedicate herself to Dalang. I guess that even if she didn't have the idea of ​​​​accepting the favor, she would definitely use tricks to convince Mrs. Xie to put Sikong Nanci in her name and help Sikong Nanci. If Nanci seizes the throne, she has great hope that her mother will be the best in the world.

Whether it's for the queen or the eldest man, I can't let Wang Yingshu succeed, not to mention the safety of Queen Lian! It doesn't matter, as long as Wang Yingshu reveals her true intentions, Dalang will never be obsessed with her beauty again and ignore the overall situation. Her Highness the Queen and I have always been of the same mind, and she is the only concubine that Da Lang recognizes. Da Lang regards me as his eldest brother, so why don’t I treat Da Lang as my own child?

What I need now is your help. I know you still have Ecstasy Powder in your hand. "

In Qiao Concubine's Yuyin Pavilion, her husband Zhang almost broke the fan in her hand even if she was next to the ice mirror. As for the thing that bothered her, of course, the concubine's position was about to be taken by someone before she could get it. After hearing the news, Mrs. Zhang immediately went to see Qiao Bin to ask for "justice". After receiving Madam Xie's advice, Qiao Bin just shied away: "His Majesty has always trusted Mr. Baichuan's advice. This matter Don't blame me. Even Mrs. Xie was helpless. However, His Majesty did not issue an order immediately, which means that he has not made up his mind yet. You should not be anxious. I looked at Yingshu and she was very calm. She can keep her composure. , you have to learn more from her composure."

Fearing that the evasion was not enough, Qiao Bin also added a few words of criticism.

"Mr. Zhang Liang, there are quite a few people who are jealous of Xu Cairen now, but I am sure that no one dares to act rashly at this point. You have to think broadly. You are from a wealthy family in Jiangdong, and your family is one of the eight powerful families. When it comes to foundation, none of the nine concubines can compare with you. You are still so young and your days are long, so there is no need to fight for the honor and disgrace of this moment."

After Qiao Bin's words, Mrs. Zhang's heart was even more on fire, and Ni Lou, the palace servant beside her, had already made another draft.

Nilou was originally a maid in Yuyin Pavilion who specialized in taking care of flowers and bonsais, but after Mrs. Zhang moved in, Concubine Qiao chose to serve as a close maid. Nilou became interested and rushed to please Mrs. Zhang. The servant girl was born with fair skin and pretty face, but her demeanor was still far behind that of the nobles in the palace. She couldn't choose her own clothes at will. Even though she was beautiful, she was not eye-catching and not good enough. In order to arouse Zhang's jealousy, and Nilou also had the advantage of being articulate, Zhang felt that having such a palace servant next to her could be regarded as an advantage over Yingshu - she felt that Yingdan was old-fashioned, but also taciturn. It's far worse than Nilou.

"My dear, I have some ideas, and I don't know whether they are right or wrong." Nilou knelt down, half-stretched her arms, and fanned Mrs. Zhang. She didn't get too close, because there were no idle people around the two of them, and she was not afraid of being criticized for what she said. Others heard it.

"Tell me and listen." Mrs. Zhang said muffledly.

"My servant heard what Queen Qiao said before, and it seemed that she was trying to offend my husband, so I guessed that Queen Qiao was showing affection to her husband, but secretly she still favored Mr Wang. Although my servant had not been trusted by Queen Qiao in the past, but in Yuyin I have been on duty in the pavilion for a while, and I heard secret discussions among other palace people. They all said that Empress Qiao and Wang Liangren's biological mother, Lu Nujun, were close friends. Otherwise, there would be no chance for His Highness to worship Duke Langyi as his disciple.

Although these words are discussed secretly by the people below, it is well known that Mr. Wang helped His Highness the Fifth Prince to investigate the case. The more I think about it, the more I feel... Empress Qiao is probably helping Mr. Wang, so she refuses to judge you. "

"Then, should I go directly to find Mrs. Xie?"

"No, since Queen Qiao dares to deal with my beloved like this, she should have already laid the groundwork in front of Mrs. Xie. I think that if my beloved wants to take the upper hand, I must act immediately before my beloved."

"How to act?"

"Of course we have to prevent Xu Cairen from being promoted. Mrs. Xie has no heirs. How can she tolerate Xu Cairen's claim that he will be a blessing to the kingdom? If Xu Cairen gives birth to a prince in the future, wouldn't the queen and the prince get another boost? ? Therefore, Mr. Wang will definitely not stand idly by. He should take the first step and let Xu Cairen... miscarry."
