After rebirth, I made the princes cry

After Yuehu and his brothers had a delicate lunch, he decided to visit his sister Liujing. When he raised his feet, Nanci followed him. Yuehu really felt that his fifth brother had been paying too much attention to him recently, causing him to make a big fuss. I feel that I am not used to it. The fifth brother has always been cold and distant to his brothers. Sometimes he even doesn't bother to socialize. If there were no three Qiao brothers, Wang Mao and Ying Shu in this world, he would definitely be a "lone ranger". It is normal for the fifth brother to walk alone, but now the fifth brother who always wants to step on his shadow seems very aggressive and abnormal.

"Does fifth brother want to come with me to see second sister?"

"Why didn't the fourth brother go to 'visit' Lady Jian?"

"Oh, fifth brother wants to 'visit' his mother-in-law? That...is really not going well."

"The second brother and the third brother left the bowls and chopsticks and hurriedly went to Hanguang Hall and Changfeng Hall to say hello. I thought the fourth brother would also be concerned about Empress Jian."

"Why aren't fifth brothers worried about Empress Qiao being implicated? After all, it was Zhang Liangren who caused the trouble."

"If you want to inquire about the news, Lady Jian can tell you more thoroughly."

"Fifth brother, please do as you please."

Nan Ci had nothing to say. He actually didn't want to go to Wangchuan Pavilion. He just wanted to test Sikong Yuehu. Sikong Yuehu was a more suitable heir to the throne than Sikong Beichen, but Sikong Yuehu had never shown any desire for the throne. Are you really willing to just be someone else's right-hand man? Sikong Yuehu is really a weird person.

In the previous life, when Nanci regained his freedom, the Liang family was already dead. At that time, Sikong Yuehu had only one daughter. She was not a direct daughter, nor was she born to the Tian family who died one step before Liang. Her biological mother was Ji from Xinsu Mansion. Hey, one year during the Mid-Autumn Festival, when the three brothers Sikong Beichen, Sikong Yuehu and Nanci were drinking and admiring the moon, Sikong Beichen mentioned that Sikong Yuehu should marry another concubine. He seemed to be worried that Sikong Yuehu would have only one concubine.

What did Sikong Yuehu say at that time? I haven't been inside the house for a long time.

What this means is that it is not that Concubine Ji in the palace "cannot give birth to a vassal", but that he has "given up" the affairs of the family, so let alone marrying one official concubine, it is still impossible to have any more children if he marries ten or eight.

Sikong Beichen was very surprised and had no choice but to give an explanation again. After the Liang family tragedy, he was really afraid of women. Once bitten by a snake, he would be afraid of straw ropes for ten years.

It seems that a childless person does not have to fight for the position, but Nanci does not think that Sikong Yuehu is telling the truth. It is very possible that he used the guise of "childless" to completely dispel Sikong Beichen's wariness. After the collapse, when Yingshu was forced to kill by Tian Shishe, Sikong Yuehu had just passed his thirties. If he became the final winner and successfully won the throne, would he still be "afraid of straw ropes"?

Yingshu didn't let Nanci "touch" Sikong Yuehu, but Nanci felt more and more that even Yingshu regarded Sikong Yuehu as a dangerous person and refused to "touch" him in order to keep him safe. In this situation, Yingshu's plan was to go into danger alone. Of course Nanci would not sit back and watch, but it was very difficult to test the foundation of Sikong Yuehu. Nanci didn't even realize that he had the advantage of being a "reborn person".

He watched Sikong Yuehu's back and finally decided to go to Wangchuan Pavilion.

Concubine Jian was surprised when she heard that Nan Ci asked for an audience. Although the palace rules did not stipulate that a prince who was not his biological child could not go to his concubine's pavilion, but under normal circumstances, concubines and princes had the consciousness to avoid suspicion, unless they were naughty boys like the seventh prince. , who didn't understand the suspicion of being a plum blossom in the melon field at all, so in order to please his fourth emperor brother's pony, he often came to Jian Concubine to show his courtesy.

But now that Nan Ci is here, Concubine Jian is still willing to meet her. After some thought, she asked the palace servants to take Nan Ci to Dusu Tower first. Dusu Tower is not high and is located in the west courtyard of Wangchuan Pavilion. There are many buildings in the west courtyard. Talented people and talented people live there, and you can see the people in the building when you look up. This arrangement by Jian Bin seems to avoid suspicion.

"Wu Lang, hurry up and drink some herbal tea. It's almost the season of summer. It's noon again, and you're really soaking up the heat."

"I'm disturbing Madam Jian."

Jian Bin smiled and said nothing, knowing that Nan Ci was not here to gossip, so she waited for Nan Ci to get to the point.

"We have all heard about the accident in the small garden today. The fourth brother is indifferent, but I am quite upset. I don't know whether the disaster caused by Mr. Zhang affected innocent people?"

"Why don't you ask Concubine Qiao?"

"My concubine is not willing to talk to me in detail about the disputes in the inner court."

Don't want to go into details? Jian Bin understood, but she probably refused to tell the truth.

"Your Majesty has not yet made a conclusion on the incident. The most important thing is to wait until Xu Cairen has completely recovered and regained consciousness before he can judge right from wrong. Even if I don't tell you, you will hear about it later. , now Xu Cairen has moved out of Xianyang Palace and is temporarily living in Qingwan Pavilion, and Ying Shu and Jiang Shangyi are taking care of him together, so that the Queen and Mrs. Xie can rest assured."

As expected, Ying Shu followed the plan.

"The fourth brother refused to tell me whether the date of the expedition had been set, and I felt panicked in my heart, as if there was a huge gap between the fourth brother and me."

"He's like that." Jian Bin sighed: "He looks stable and thinks a lot, but his temperament is actually the most narrow-minded. He always likes to tease people."

"Is that why Fourth Brother refused to discuss with me just to tease me?"

"What exactly does Goro want to discuss with Shiro?"

"It can't be said to be a discussion, it's just curiosity. How sure is the fourth brother of defeating Bei Zhao and how to run an army? These knowledge masters have not taught me, so I can only ask the fourth brother for advice."

"He didn't mention these things to me either." Jian Bin poured another bowl of herbal tea for Nanci: "Drink another cup and wait until the heat has cooled before leaving."

Unlike the eviction order, Nanci understood it.

Seeing Nanci not moving the tea cup, Jian Bin was not displeased: "Silang came to Wangchuan Pavilion, and I asked him to chat with me. If I pressed him hard, he would also say a few words, for example, Qiao Lang will take care of the three sons in the family. Although they are young, they are very brave. Even His Majesty was full of praise and said that sooner or later he would make great achievements. After hearing this, I felt that I would be able to get along well with Ren Nujun, but even though Ren Nujun is Concubine Qiao's Sister-in-law, she never wants to go into the inner court, and I don’t have the chance to have a long conversation with Ren Nujun, so we can only have a spiritual friendship.”

Nanci was shocked, quickly drank the herbal tea, stood up and left.

Jian Bin still sat upstairs in Dusu for a while, thinking to herself: Wulang seemed to be far away from the power struggle, but he could still see the situation clearly. I just gave him a few words of advice, and he understood clearly. His uncle, Qiao Zizhan, had great ideas, but unfortunately his grandfather, Pingyi Bo, was old and dim. He secretly helped Qiao Concubine get involved in the throne struggle. Qiao Zizhan's wife, Ren, was worried that she would be implicated by Qiao Concubine, so she never wanted to go to the happy place. Yinge does not have frequent contacts with Concubine Qiao, but if Concubine Qiao does not know how to rein in the situation, even if His Majesty values ​​Qiao Zizhan and will not be punished, when the new king comes to the throne in the future, it will be difficult for Qiao Zizhan and his family to be separated from Concubine Qiao.

Yuehu has no ill intentions towards Pingyi Qiao, and even values ​​Qiao Zizhan and his son very much. If Wulang fully understands the situation, he should understand that for him, and for the Pingyi Qiao clan, the biggest disaster is Qiao's concubine.

Although Princess Sikong Liujing of Qinghe didn't care about the palace fight at all, Xu Cairen's unfortunate miscarriage was of great concern. Of course she had heard about it and was unhappy in her pavilion. When she heard that her brother was coming, she hurried to greet her, but she was not interested She was also very low, like a boring gourd, so Yuehu asked her: "Who messed with you?"

The girl said nothing.

"Are you complaining about Wang Wuniang?"

"Brother, how do you know?"

"You really wish that Zhang's daughter would be unlucky. Although the person who slapped you was not her but her cousin, Wang Wuniang 'rescued' Zhang's daughter. Do you think Wang Wuniang is not a friend enough?"

"No, I just feel that Mr. Wang should be nosy."

"Every wrongdoer has his own fault, and we will not engage in the same trick of punishing you. The person who bullied you is Zhang Wanqiao, and I will deal with her sooner or later."

"Brother, do you believe that I didn't take the initiative to provoke Zhang Shaojun?"

"I can't say I'm provocative. You're telling the truth."

"Brother, do you think Zhang Shaojun should be taken to Northern Zhao as a slave?"

"do not think so."

Princess Qinghe was confused, her big eyes full of confusion.

"It was just a defeat, and Dayu was not subjugated. No matter which woman should be allowed to go to Northern Zhao as a slave, it is reasonable for you to think so, because Zhang Jiutong is the culprit of the defeat. Zhang Wanqiao is not ashamed of the defeat. Instead, you take pleasure in others' misfortune. You don't understand national politics, so you targeted her because of your righteous indignation. This is not provocation, but if she slaps you, she has committed a crime."

"But, my father punished me..."

"You are punished to sit in front of the wall and think about your faults because as a princess, you should endure the grievances even when the royal family is weak. Do you think your father will not feel humiliated and your mother-in-law will not feel sorry for you? But, there is no other way. The envoys of Northern Zhao had not left at that time, and the slightest mistake could affect the peace talks. Although everyone knew that Northern Zhao could not reconcile with my court, their army was approaching the border at that time, so we could only endure the humiliation for the time being."

"Brother, is it for me that I'm going to war?"

"No." Sikong Yuehu looked at his suddenly excited sister, his face expressionless: "War is not a child's play. If peace can last forever, I will not start another war just because of the slap you received. Not only will I not , Father will not do it, and neither will anyone. In war, casualties are inevitable, so of course we will not fight if we can do it. You are a princess, so you must understand this truth."

"Brother said just now that he would deal with Zhang Shaojun?"

"There is no need to start a war to deal with her, and there are no casualties. I can't let her bully my sister."

"Brother is so kind." The princess beamed with joy.

"I will go on an expedition in five days. During this period, you must be obedient and don't run around, let alone get involved in the internal disputes. No matter what rumors you hear, just remember that it has nothing to do with you. Don't even go to Grandma's Wangchuan Pavilion. Consider it grounded."

"You can't even go to Zhaoyang Palace?"

Yuehu said nothing.

The princess sighed: "I understand. I'm not going anywhere. Just wait for brother to come back. Don't forget to promise me."

"You don't have to wait for me to come back. You will soon hear that Zhang Wanqiao is in trouble."

Princess Qinghe felt tormented with this secret. She couldn't bear it anymore. On the third day, she told her personal maid the secret. The maid trusted the fourth prince very much and knew about many serious entanglements: "Zhang Shaojun Dare to be so arrogant, not all because of Jiangdong's power. Her husband's family, Yong'anqi, made great contributions in suppressing the rebels in Jiangzhou six years ago. Now they are also a high-class family. However, since the Fourth Highness said that he wanted to deal with her, he would never It would be a lie, Your Highness the Fourth Highness is so powerful, I have long been convinced that the Princess suffered so much injustice years ago, Your Highness the Fourth Highness will never spare Zhang Shaojun lightly."

"But I heard that Zhang Shaojun is highly valued by her husband's family. Her husband is the grandson of the clan, and she is the grandson's wife. The fourth brother won't get into trouble because of this, right?"

"Don't worry, princess. When has your Fourth Highness ever suffered a loss?"

"Didn't I just suffer a loss? I was repented of my marriage, and I was told that it was all just appearances..."

"That's because Liang Siniang is blind. As she gets older, she only values ​​utilitarianism. Princess, don't really think that what Liang Siniang likes is the character of His Highness the Crown Prince. She must be delusional about becoming the queen, so she wholeheartedly goes to the East Palace. Where’s Gao Zhi?”

"I don't think so." The princess shook her head: "Liang Siniang shouldn't have such a temperament. A person who is almost reckless with her love suddenly turns into a person who only pursues utilitarianism. She resolutely gives up her sweetheart without any hesitation. It is unreasonable to choose the path of glory without any attachment."

"Alas, the princess is still young, how can she see through the heart of people across the belly? Let's talk about Wang Liangren. Have you ever seen her talk to Zhang Liangren? Who would have thought that when Zhang Liangren was robbed that day, Wang Liangren would still be there? Help her get through this disaster, isn't the princess sure that Wang Liang will definitely add insult to injury?"

"Isn't it a good character not to add insult to injury?"

"Yes, no one can see that Mr. Wang is so broad-minded."

The princess stared at the maid, speechless for a long time.

In the end, I had no choice but to admit: "Well, this time I am judging a gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain."
