After rebirth, I made the princes cry

For the inner court, for those women who do not need to compete for favor but still fight endlessly, it is difficult for Jiang Shangyi to judge their good and evil. Although some people are kind in nature, they have weaknesses. When their weaknesses are attacked by their opponents, they will also They will be forced to fight, calculate, and fight. Their weak fingers will also hold the deadly dagger tightly and stab the opponent in the chest without hesitation.

Shi Bin had no children at that time, and the fifth princess was not born.

She seemed to sympathize with Concubine Qiao because Concubine Qiao's daughter was taken away by Concubine Jiang. Later, although the emperor allowed Concubine Qiao to see the little princess of the Sikong Royal Family who had not yet been officially registered in the genealogy at that time, because of the fifth prince's repeated pleas. As a rule, whether the prince or the princess is one year old, he or she must be formally named and prefaced during the first-year ceremony - but the emperor was still wary of Concubine Qiao, so he did not allow Concubine Qiao to see the little princess alone.

At that time, Concubine Qiao was still alienated from the three ladies Xie, He and Zheng. In the past, she would go to Xianyang Palace to be attentive, but she could not bother the queen by going back to visit the little princess, so she invited Concubine Shi to come with her. Makes sense.

Of course the little princess was cared for by Fu's mother and palace attendants, but Concubine Jiang told them that they did not need to be around whenever Concubine Qiao visited the little princess. Later, Concubine Jiang said that she made this confession because she had softened her heart, and thought that Concubine Qiao had really repented and felt guilty, so she did not take precautions anymore. This was to avoid Concubine Qiao misunderstanding, and she deliberately let the palace people keep an eye on her and hinder Concubine Qiao from communicating with her. The little princess is close.

But in fact, from Jiang Shangyi's point of view, Concubine Jiang clearly believed that Concubine Qiao was unwilling to take the little princess back, so she gave Concubine Qiao a chance. She thought Concubine Qiao would cause the little princess to have a "minor illness" again, using the excuse that she Due to poor care, the plan of "taking away the girl" was achieved.

Jiang Pin seemed to have never expected that although Qiao Pin was the biological mother of the little princess, the fifth prince was her only weakness. For the sake of the fifth prince, Qiao Pin took advantage of the "opportunity" deliberately given by Jiang Pin to kill her daughter. Disaster.

But if Qiao Bin wanted to succeed, she had to persuade Shi Bin to testify. However, at that time, Qiao Bin had no ability to threaten or bribe Shi Bin.

"The person Shi Concubine wanted to plot that day was Mrs. He. This was in line with His Majesty's plan. But of course His Majesty would not kill the fifth princess just to make Mrs. If a concubine harms a daughter, should the blame be placed on Concubine Jiang?" Yingshu asked.

"Your Majesty's heart will not be so cruel." Jiang Shangyi is still confident about the emperor's temperament: "No matter the prince or the princess, your Majesty actually cherishes him. Only your Majesty's family survived the disaster. Your Majesty knew in his heart that the royal family's children could no longer withstand the loss. The foundation for the prosperity of a powerful family is the abundance of talents, but the abundance of descendants and vassals is the foundation for cultivating talents. .

Furthermore, His Majesty was indeed very fond of Concubine Jiang back then. If Concubine Jiang had not been blamed for the murder of the royal family's heirs, forcing Your Majesty to punish her severely in order to prevent any more disputes between the imperial court and the children, how could Your Majesty be like that? What about the cruelty to put Jiang Concubine to death? But even so, after Jiang Concubine died, Rong Hua remained vacant for many years, and His Majesty had no intention of letting the rest of the harem replace Jiang Concubine. Even the Qingwan Pavilion, His Majesty was not willing to let it fall into disuse. Although Your Majesty has never come here again, The General Attendant would come to inspect her from time to time. He must have followed His Majesty's orders. His Majesty still seemed to be mourning Concubine Jiang in his heart. "

"If Shi Concubine had not obeyed His Majesty's orders, would she have been forced by the Queen?" Ying Shu raised another possibility.

"The Queen is certainly afraid of Concubine Jiang, but after all, Concubine Jiang has no children, and the threat to the Queen has not yet become urgent. The Queen will not take such a big risk and rush to get rid of Concubine Jiang. She is just... taking the opportunity to fan the flames and enjoy herself. A fisherman’s profit.”

Then there is only one possibility.

Concubine Shi's decision to protect Concubine Qiao was her own decision. She should have been coerced or bribed by Concubine Qiao.

Ying Shu had no intention of avenging Concubine Jiang. She and Concubine Jiang were strangers, but Concubine Qiao was Nan Ci's biological mother. If Concubine Qiao was convicted of this old case, Nan Ci would definitely be implicated, even if she would not be prosecuted for it. Even if he was punished, he would not be disliked by the emperor, but Nanci would not watch his biological mother being executed without being indifferent. Yingshu didn't even want to tell Nanci and let Nanci face the ugly reality of his biological mother strangling his sister.

It has already happened, and the consequences are irreversible.

"What does Shang Yi think of Concubine Shu?" Ying Shu asked.

"Concubine Shu..." Jiang Shangyi seemed to think for a while, how to describe the difficulty: "She is indeed loyal to the queen and the prince. Although she has the sixth prince under her knees, she has no intention of using the sixth prince to seize the crown prince. Perhaps she understands in her heart , the Sixth Prince does not even have a 10% chance of winning, and it is most beneficial to the Sixth Prince only if the Crown Prince's position is stable.

Although the Queen has always been wary of me, I still found out some old things from the time when I was hiding in the residence. The Queen had always ordered Concubine Shu to take Bizi Decoction. Your Majesty should not have known about this matter. Concubine Shu was willing to treat the Queen. It was not until Empress Jian was pregnant that the queen allowed Concubine Shu to stop using the soup. Concubine Shu's first child was Princess Gaoping. Concubine Shu herself was happy, but the queen felt a little disappointed. .

There are many things that the Queen would rather leave to Concubine Shu. Concubine Shu must know many of the Queen's secrets, but she has been hiding them from Your Majesty. There is no doubt that the Queen and Concubine Shu trust each other. "

"The Queen is kind on the surface. She trusts Concubine Shu so much. Concubine Shu must be desirable in the eyes of the Queen. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, and when it comes to viciousness of heart, Concubine Shu must be on par with the Queen."

Jiang Shangyi hesitated for a while, but decided to express his questions and worries.

"Wu Niang, the eldest lord is loyal to your majesty and the prince, but Wu Niang seems to hate the queen. This... Although Wu Niang has made it clear earlier that she has no intention of being a good wife to the prince, and she will not get along with the queen for a long time in the future, but If Wu Niang is interested in Madam Xie, she will probably offend the Queen."

"Maybe I have different ideas from Shang Yi. Shang Yi just said that Uncle cherishes his children. This is out of fatherly affection, and more importantly, it is also beneficial to the country. I deeply agree, but Shang Yi feels that, What if uncle... When the prince succeeds to the throne and the queen becomes the queen mother, will she cherish the royal children as much as your majesty? The queen is uncle's wife and the prince's biological mother, and the eldest son of the queen was killed. Uncle felt guilty towards the queen because of this. Uncle wanted to believe that the queen was kind-hearted and would not harm her concubine. However, in my opinion, the queen was narrow-minded and sinister. She was not worthy of her mother's respect for the world, and she was even less qualified to be the Queen Mother of Yu. In order to prevent the queen from forcing the emperor to commit murder in the future due to her filial piety, Abo should be aware of it and take precautions before it happens."

Jiang Shangyi was shocked, and after thinking deeply, she sighed: "But the Queen did not leave any conclusive evidence for her actions. If there is no evidence, it will be difficult for Your Majesty to believe her."

"What I'm best at is finding evidence." Yingshu blinked and smiled slightly: "Don't you think it's strange for Shang Yi that Zheng Lianzi is convinced that I am a threat to her and is eager to eliminate me?"

"I'm afraid Zheng Liang is not that capable."

"That's two things. I knew before that Chen's daughter instigated Zheng Lianzi to be my enemy, but Chen's daughter must have her own intentions. Zheng Lianzi wouldn't trust her words. I think, since the queen reminded Shang Yi Well, I thought the prince said something to the queen. The prince has plans for me. The queen knows, and of course Concubine Shu also knows. The news I received is that Zheng Lianzi often visits Concubine Shu."

"Speaking of it, Zheng Liangren's family background is of no help to the prince, and it seems that the queen should not favor Zheng Liangren."

Yingshu knew that Jiang Shangyi understood the implication of her words, and blinked again: "My fourth sister often mentions Concubine Shu and says a lot of good things for Concubine Shu. I know the temperament of fourth sister. I look at people first. Family background, first of all, depends on the status of the family. Concubine Shu's ability to win over the fourth sister does not rely on those two things. Her ability to win the trust of the fourth sister, and even her sincere closeness, shows her ability.

However, I will never trust others easily. Although I was dragged by Fourth Sister to visit Concubine Shu, my conversation and behavior probably made Concubine Shu feel uncomfortable to deal with. Concubine Shu cannot win over me, and she will inevitably I won't try to trick me anymore. In comparison, the fourth sister is more 'tricky'. "

"Don't worry, slave." Jiang Shangyi said clearly.

But she didn't realize that Xu Cairen's life was in danger.

Xu Cairen was even more unconscious. She was still in the "emotional breakdown" caused by "heartbreak". She pretended to believe that Long Zi was still in her belly. She put her hand on her belly and muttered to herself - "That's right." In front of Ying Shu and Jiang Shangyi - Xu Cairen only believed in the queen. She knew that the queen did not trust Jiang Shangyi and had great reservations about Ying Shu. When she went to the small garden that day, the queen made a good plan.

"It was my suggestion. Although you are bound to have a miscarriage, your blessings to Dayu will not be diminished by being harmed by a traitor. Of course, Your Majesty will not severely punish Mr. Xie because of this incident. If you are the He family, then we should be even more kind to you. You will still be promoted to the concubine position and enter the Qingwan Pavilion. Although your family is just a commoner, because your status is already very different, your parents will also enjoy the benefits. Enrong.

Your Majesty agreed and named your father Yongchang Bo. Although there was no fiefdom and Yongchang was just a title, your family will be exempted from paying taxes and will also enjoy the royal family's food and salary as usual. You will be blessed in the future and be born smoothly. The lower prince will have an actual fiefdom at that time. Although he is not yet a member of the family, he can still become a real common people. Your family is equal to my father and brother. "

This is a favor that Xu Cairen could never achieve in the past.

A woman who has been selected to enter the palace, even if she is favored, is at most a talented person. Her parents and family don't even know that their daughter has been favored, so how can she enjoy a reward? Xu Cairen must be grateful and regard the queen as his "reborn parent". She knows very well that she cannot influence the fate of the country. This honor is given by Baichuan Jun, and the reason why Baichuan Jun takes Hongfu It was the Queen and the Crown Prince's responsibility to blame it on her.

Xu Cairen had no idea what she was going to do next. She pretended to be sick and quietly waited for the queen's next move.

The queen's messenger summoned Concubine Shu and confessed face to face: "The original plan can't be carried out. It's Dalang's will. I just want to tell you that the hidden child in Zhaoyang Palace should be left dormant first. Anyway, now , Wang’s daughter has also proposed to move Xu to Qingwan Pavilion, Your Majesty should explain how Jiang will act and let Xu give a clear explanation."

Concubine Shu agreed and smiled: "Da Lang has good taste, but because of his current intentions, it is inconvenient to tell Wang Liangren. Wang Liangren does not know that Da Lang has other plans, and is also bent on confusing Mrs. Xie. This is also Your Majesty's. Wang Liangren tried his best to excuse Mrs. Xie and Concubine Qiao, and he was also able to give Zhang Liangren a hand. He is not only smart and talented, but also has a great heart."

"Whether she can truly be of the same mind as Dalang is still a matter of debate. This is what I am worried about. Dalang does not cherish her much, but compared with the Zheng family, although the prestige of King Langyi is not as good as before, once your Majesty comes I still trust him, and Yang Xianpei, Pingyi Qiao, etc. follow him wholeheartedly, and his role cannot be underestimated."

"Lian'er also understands this truth. She and my concubine have repeatedly promised that no matter how tyrannical Wang's daughter is, she will never get angry again."

"The person you fall in love with naturally has merits. If Jie Niang hadn't helped me, my Jue'er might have suffered even more humiliation. I remember this love, and Dalang will never do it in the future. Be patient with Ji Niang’s niece.”

Concubine Shu's eyes immediately turned red, and she tried not to shed tears: "A Jie was raised in fine clothes and fine food until she reached her hair age, and then entered the palace, and has been no longer heard from since then. She was unable to keep Jui'er. I also blame myself very much.”

"You can't force it. After all, Jie Niang can't even protect herself. If Northern Zhao invades Luoyang Palace, if she doesn't commit suicide, she will definitely be humiliated to death. Alas, I only met her a few times, and I feel sad for her, let alone You were once her female companion... Don't worry, Zheng Xu is her only brother, and Lian'er is Zheng Xu's legitimate daughter. No matter what, as long as Chen'er can inherit the throne, Lian'er will definitely be her One of the nine concubines, when Chen'er's empire is stabilized, Lian'er won't have to worry about her rank as a wife."
