Tyrant [Rebirth]

In the Yongfu Palace, Zhen Si was leaning on the imperial concubine's couch and talking to Luo Shi. Zhen Si's delivery date was approaching, and because of her bad pregnancy and taking those terrible medicines, she was now much haggard, her feet were so swollen that she couldn't put on her shoes, and she couldn't wear shoes every day. He just leans on the couch and rarely goes out.

"Your Majesty...you can't be so inactive all day long." Luo Shi held an enamel gold silk bowl and slowly stirred, and persuaded, "I heard from the imperial doctor that it is easy to fail to give birth when you are always inactive. Your Majesty's baby is not Little, you always have to suffer when you give birth like this."

Zhen Si lazily leaned on a soft pillow, and slowly said: "I know what my mother said, but my feet and legs are so swollen that I can't bear it, and it hurts after walking a few steps. Also dizzy..."

Luo Shi handed the bird's nest in his hand to Zhen Si, and sighed: "I didn't raise it well in the past few months, and now I have to suffer like this."

Zhen Si sneered and didn't speak, a palace man turned around the screen and bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, Empress Li is here, she has brought some tonics and treasures, she wants to see her."

Luo Shi frowned, and said: "Your Majesty, you have to rest assured to raise your baby. Where can you see anyone? You go back to Concubine Li and say that your Majesty just fell asleep after taking the medicine, please come back later."

"No need." Zhen Si took a long jewel-encrusted hairpin by the side of the couch, tied up her hair a few times, straightened her clothes and said, "Please come in, Madam Li."

Luo Shi was not at ease, with a worried look on his face: "My lady, why is this necessary? Have you forgotten what your father told you?"

Zhen Si shook her head: "She wants to see me all she wants, can I hide today and tomorrow? Why don't we talk about it today so as to save trouble in the future."

Before the words were finished, Concubine Li came in with a group of palace servants, and said with a smile: "I just heard that you are not feeling well recently after coming back. Let me come and see you..." Concubine Li frowned and said to Luo Shi who was at the side, "Today It's not the day for you to enter the palace to pay your respects, how did you come in?"

Luo Shi blessed the body: "Greetings to Empress Lipin."

Zhen Si also didn't get up, slowly stirred the bird's nest porridge in her hand with a silver spoon, and said: "My aunt also knows that Bengong is not feeling well these days, the emperor said that it might be better to have his mother by his side, so he allowed my mother to come in at any time. The Empress Dowager also knows about this, oh I forgot, my aunt was recuperating in Linzhi Palace before, so I don't know."

Concubine Li was about to explode after Zhen Si robbed her of a few words. Thinking of her purpose of coming today, she suppressed her anger and forced a smile: "It's my ignorance."

Zhen Si smiled: "Auntie, sit down quickly, I'm sorry I can't stand up to greet you, my body is heavy, it will be uncomfortable when I get up together."

Concubine Li had no choice but to sit down, and Luo Shi also sat down on the couch next to Zhen Si, speechless for a while, Concubine Li smiled and said: "I sent them to clean up the warehouse today, and found a lot of good medicinal materials, old ginseng and so on. I don’t use these things very often, and they’re also loose medicines if they’re piled up for nothing, so I asked them to pack them up and bring them to you.”

Zhen Si glanced at it and said indifferently: "It's hard for my aunt to have a heart, I don't lack these things here."

"I know you are not lacking, after all it is my heart for you." Concubine Li stroked the hairpin on her temples, paused and said, "My life is miserable... Now that my son is not by my side, I will pay you back in this palace." A loved one, who will not give these things to you?"

Zhen Si smiled lightly: "Aunt, you have to be careful what you say, aren't the emperor and the queen mother relatives of my aunt?"

Concubine Li was about to burst out of Zhen Si's anger several times, thinking of her current situation, she could only suppress herself, and smiled: "It's because I didn't speak carefully, your cousin...it's really not easy, and it's all because of Zhen Family, speaking of it... aren't we all for the Zhen family?"

Concubine Li tried her best to lead the conversation to Chu Shaoruan, but Zhen Si didn't answer at all, nodded and said: "Of course, if it wasn't for the Zhen family, I wouldn't be able to enter the palace either. It's my grandmother and aunt who helped me." Woolen cloth."

"Si girl... I know you still remember what happened back then, but you also think about it, you didn't really marry Chu Shaoling, you entered the palace and became the emperor's concubine, and you were pregnant with the emperor's heir. I'm on equal footing, so you won't suffer, right?" Concubine Li couldn't stand Zhen Si's sarcasm, and tried to persuade, "Now you are protected by the empress dowager and favored by the emperor, what is there to be dissatisfied with? If that day If you didn't enter the palace, you would marry a son of a noble family at most, how can you have the life you have now?"

Seeing that what Li Pin said was becoming more and more unbearable, Luo Shi quickly interrupted: "Why do you need to mention those things before, Madam Li, now that you have such a big belly, and talk about what to do, you can't bother now, Madam Li is still Come back first."

Concubine Li turned her head to look at Luo Shi, and said with a smile: "I remember that my sister-in-law used to enter the palace with her mother. At that time, my sister-in-law couldn't say a word. Times have changed, and now my sister-in-law is so eloquent. The waist is stiff, Amitabha Buddha blesses Concubine Zhen's birth as a boy, if she gives birth to a princess, it will be a waste of my sister-in-law's aura today!"

Zhen Si smiled lightly, she knew that Concubine Li couldn't hold back, it was not easy to say those few words to herself in a pleasant manner, Zhen Si sat up and said slowly: "Auntie came here for the second prince's business? Want me to help?"

Concubine Li nodded quickly, tried to squeeze out a smile, and said: "In the end, we are all a family. Help your cousin, so he can forget you in the future? As long as you let your cousin come back to the imperial city, what am I going to do?" I can give it to you. When Ruan Er becomes the emperor in the future, you will be a concubine. There are many places to count on him. With your friendship that saved him today, Ruan Er will definitely not treat you badly in the future... ..."

"Aunt is thinking too far." Zhen Si interrupted her, and said coldly, "Let alone be the emperor, it will not be easy for him to live long enough for the crown prince to succeed to the throne in the future. I don't dare to count on him, besides... ...Why does Bengong rely on him? Does Bengong have no children of his own?"

Zhen Si lightly stroked her protruding belly and smiled: "My child, it's better for you, isn't it?"

Concubine Li said for a long time that she couldn't persuade Zhen Si, and even suffered from the expression on Zhen Si's face for a long time. She looked at Zhen Si's stomach and thought of her son who was still suffering in the palace. With jealousy and resentment, she said angrily: "You are What are you talking about?! Why can’t Ruan’er be the emperor anymore? It’s all thanks to me that you are able to conceive an emperor’s heir, and now you have the face to show off in front of me! If Ruan’er is still there, why should I come to you!”

Zhen Si laughed loudly, threw a bowl of bird's nest porridge on the ground, and said loudly, "Have you finally spoken your mind? My aunt is really good at planning everything for me! Thanks to you, I was able to conceive the emperor's heir." If I didn’t know about the past, I would really miss you! First, I wanted me to marry the King of Qin, and then I was carried into the harem. When I saw that I was pregnant with a child, I was pushed into the lake to drown Our mother and son, this is the good day you gave me?!"

Zhen Si supported Luo Shi to stand up, and asked straight to Concubine Li's face: "You are the only concubine, do you think everyone wants to be a concubine?! If it wasn't for you, if it wasn't for you..."

Zhen Si didn't know what to think of, her eyes turned red all of a sudden, she wished she could eat Libi raw: "Why did I do this?! Zhen Bihe...you ruined my life! Now that your son is under house arrest, do you think of me? Tell me You! Late!"

Zhen Si got angry, supported Luo Shi to pant and said angrily: "I know what you came here for, you want me to intercede with Chu Shaoruan, right? Yes, now that I am pregnant with a child, the emperor will obey everything." Me, if I go to beg, even if I can’t let him back, I’m afraid there will be some other benefits, but let me tell you, it’s a good thing if I don’t harm him! Let me save him? You’re daydreaming!!”

Concubine Li has never been scolded so harshly before, she was stunned for a moment, and after realizing it, she said angrily: "You are so hard-winged now, do you think I am begging you? You should also think about it, if Ruan'er falls , the Zhen family will be finished, and there will be no eggs under the overturned nest. When you become the daughter of a criminal minister, how good can you be?! Think about whether you need a decent natal family to support you!"

Zhen Si laughed when she heard the words, helped Luo Shi to sit down again, shook her head and smiled and said, "Aunt...you are still so stupid, if the emperor hadn't spoiled you so much these years, I really can't imagine how you have fought until now, just now Losing the emperor's favor and falling to such a state, hehe..."

"Who told you that if Chu Shaoruan fell, the Zhen family would be over?" Zhen Si put a hand on Luo Shi's arm and chuckled, "Chu Shaoruan fell, you fell, the Zhen family still has Bengong to support it." Now, there is still the child in Bengong’s belly to support, as long as Bengong is fine, the Zhen family will be fine, oh, Bengong is wrong... The Zhen family I am talking about is not the Zhen family that my grandfather is in charge of today, but the Zhen family. It is the Xinzhen Mansion headed by my father Zhen Fuwen and my mother Luo Shanhong."

Seeing Concubine Li's panic-stricken face, Zhen Si felt a lot more comfortable, and said with a smile, "Grandfather has long since lost his official position, but it's because my father is filial that he has always been in charge of it, but...some things, I still let him take care of him." It's better for someone with a high official position to make a decision, isn't it? Aunt, your grandfather is your father, not mine."

Concubine Li forced herself to calm down, pointed at Zhen Si and Luo Shi and said tremblingly, "You, you actually want to set up your own family..."

Zhen Si smiled lightly: "Of course, we are not blessed with the blessings of my aunt, but we always have to bear the sins of my aunt. It is really wronged. Good aunt, wake up, now the highest official position in Zhen's mansion is my father, the palace My situation is much better than yours, so do you want us to be willing to stay behind?"

Concubine Li was completely flustered, everything she had been relying on was lost one by one, and her last retreat was blocked by Zhen Si, it was the first time that Concubine Li was so flustered, she repeated in a low voice: "You can't do this to me, you can't, You want to replace me, you can't, I'm going to tell my father..."

Zhen Si smiled: "When the Second Prince has no hope at all, do you see whether Grandpa will come to show his favor to me or stay on this sunken ship of yours, ha ha..."

Concubine Li was so flustered that she could hardly stand still, the more she listened to Zhen Si's words, the more flustered she became, and after chanting a few more words, she helped her maidservant stumble away.

Looking outside, Luo Shi was a little worried, then turned to Zhen Si and said, "Your Majesty...why tear your face apart?"

Zhen Si sneered: "If you don't tear yourself apart, she always thinks that I can still gain something here. Let her be sober now, and stop thinking that she can fool me. Besides, I wasn't the one who broke my face first. Back then, she dared to lie to me." Poison Hand should understand that if I escape with my life, I will not let any of them go!"

"Amitabha, when I mentioned the incident of you falling into the water that day, my heart is wrenching, God is sorry to see that there is no serious problem." Luo Shi patted Zhen Si's hand lightly and said pityingly, "After knowing what happened to you, your father said, Why can't I just devote myself to the Second Prince's life, not to mention not getting any benefits, but also sending my daughter and grandson into it, it's my son's fate, it's not a big deal if I fall into the lake in such weather..."

Zhen Si looked outside, and said for a while: "Actually, it's not my fate, no... it's also my daughter's fate. I just met a kind-hearted person like him."

"You are so kind!" Chu Shaoling looked at the fragments of the hollowed-out carved jade bottle in the brocade box and said, "You broke this?"

Wei Ji didn't expect that Chu Shaoling would know about it, he still didn't dare to lie to Chu Shaoling after murmuring for a long time, he lowered his head and said, "No."

Fortunately, he didn't dare to lie to himself, Chu Shaoling threw the brocade box aside, and said coldly: "What does it have to do with you if the servant breaks something? What are you doing to put this vat on someone else?!"

Wei Ji didn't know if Chu Shaoling was really angry, and explained in a low voice: "Shun who cleans His Highness's study outside is very pitiful, because he was bought from outside, and there is no one to take care of him in the house, and other servants bully him. Snatching his things, even his food, I have seen him a few times, and after talking about it, he turned around and he was still being bullied. Yesterday he ate too little, so he broke the jade bottle because his hand was unsteady. I was in the study outside at the time. Looking for a book... I saw it, I asked others about it, and said it was not an antique, and it was worth about a hundred taels of silver, and I saw that he was pitiful, so I told the prince that I broke it, and went to the accountant to pay for the silver."

Wei Ji carefully raised his eyes to look at Chu Shaoling, he thought it was a trivial matter, how could he know that Chu Shaoling would make a fuss, could it be that the thing is Chu Shaoling's favorite?Wei Ji looked at Chu Shaoling anxiously, and whispered: "Your Highness... like this very much?"

Chu Shaoling actually didn't remember this thing on the shelf in the outer study room at all, seeing Wei Ji scared, he said: "Of course, this was given to me by Princess Gongsu before, and it has been kept until now. It fell to pieces."

Hearing this, Wei Ji felt even more guilty, as if he had smashed this thing, and said in a low voice: "Then, should I go find a similar one? I put this together and let the master carve a similar one." , okay... okay?"

Chu Shaoling smiled, sat Wei Ji on the couch, and said: "You don't need to be so troublesome, just take a good rest with me, and I will spare you."

Only then did Wei Ji realize that Chu Shaoling was just teasing him, so he couldn't help but whispered: "Okay, Your Highness, let's go to sleep, and I will go outside to guard His Highness."

Chu Shaoling couldn't help laughing out loud, and said: "Forget it, I don't want to tease you, I forgot when and who sent it, if it breaks, it's broken, it's okay." Chu Shaoling held Wei Ji and let him lie down, Said, "Just to teach you not to be so kind in the future, and be careful not to be harmed."

"Shuncai is two years younger than the minister, it's really pitiful." Wei Ji was afraid of pressing Chu Shaoling's hair, and carefully smoothed Chu Shaoling's hair, "I thought it was not a big deal, so I helped him, Your Highness... yes How do you know?"

Chu Shaoling smiled and said nothing, as long as there is nothing about Wei Ji in this palace that Chu Shaoling doesn't know, Chu Shaoling rubbed Wei Ji's head and said: "Since you pity him, I will assign him to your side Come and serve me, okay?"

After thinking about it, Wei Ji felt that this was the most suitable way, nodded and smiled, "That's the best... Thank you, Your Highness, for your understanding."

Chu Shaoling turned sideways, gently stroked Wei Ji's back, and said slowly: "It's good that you transferred people to your side, but if you don't tell me, I don't know, and I have made such a big circle for nothing."

Wei Ji smiled and didn't speak, but Chu Shaoling understood it in his heart, and said in a low voice: "I told you a long time ago, it's good to treat this as my home, you can do whatever you want, you just don't listen, and treat yourself as here Servant, you dropped something and went to the cashier to pay for it, are you trying to piss me off?"

Wei Ji's heart warmed up, and he lowered his eyes and said, "I dare not go beyond the rules."

Chu Shaoling originally liked Wei Ji to obey the rules, but now he hoped that he would be pampered, Chu Shaoling rubbed Wei Ji's head, and said: "Forget it, the more you are cautious and disciplined, the more I want to love you more Some, you are here to beat me..."

Wei Ji blushed slightly, turned around and buried his head in Chu Shaoling's wide skirt...
