"Elder-in-law" migraine

After Fang Yong was beheaded, Concubine De was seriously ill and depressed every day. When Emperor Jingyan came once, Concubine De did not raise her spirits to deal with it, and because of Fang Yong's case, Emperor Jingyan felt estranged from Concubine De. Concubine Reed's situation of keeping the holy favor by herself disappeared, but at the same time, Concubine Liang, who had been forgotten by everyone in the harem, gradually returned to everyone's sight.

Huayang Palace is different now, when Ren Zhi comes here again, he is no longer the little eunuch of that day, but in half a year, everything has changed so much.

As soon as he entered the gate, someone greeted him and bowed to Renzhi, "See His Royal Highness King Ping'an."

Ren Zhi waved his hand, "Where is Concubine Liang?"

"Inner hall." The servant said respectfully.

Ren Zhi nodded, and continued to walk in alone.Seeing Lu Zhu at the entrance of the inner hall, and seeing Ren Zhi, Lu Zhu immediately smiled, and then slightly restrained his expression, bowed slightly and said, "His Royal Highness King Ping'an."

With a slight smile on Ren Zhi's face, "Is the Concubine Liang safe?"

Luzhu walked in front to lead the way for Ren Zhi, with joy in his voice, "Your Majesty has improved a lot recently, and she still talks about you to me occasionally."

Ren Zhi looked back, saw that no one was looking at the two of them, and said in a low voice, "Lu Zhu, don't be so polite to me in private, I will feel uncomfortable."

Luzhu smiled and rolled his eyes, "Okay. I'm also afraid that others will give up the truth if they hear it."

Ren Zhi's mood improved slightly.He has been in this harem for nearly ten years. Although he doesn't have many friends, there are always people who get along with him a little bit.But since he became the prince, all the acquaintances in the past were cautious when they saw him, but they didn't know how to slander him behind their backs.Even his adoptive father Zhang Cheng, who had been taking good care of him after watching him grow up, was very polite to him, calling him "His Royal Highness" every time, which made him feel uncomfortable all over.

In this harem, probably only Concubine Liang would not care about the change of his status, right?

Concubine Liang was wearing a light blue skirt, and her complexion was much rosier than before. She was practicing calligraphy in front of the desk, and when she heard footsteps, she raised her head and glanced. Come here, come and see how I write this word?"

Ren Zhi walked to the front of the case and looked with his head.Qielin was originally the bodyguard of Emperor Liang Ming, so he taught Ren Zhi to emphasize martial arts and despise literature, but Duan Yixian taught him to read and write, and even calligraphy, he taught him stroke by stroke while holding his hand.Later, when he came to Emperor Jingyan's side, he watched Emperor Jingyan practice calligraphy all day long, and he gained some understanding.

Since he knew Concubine Liang, Concubine Liang spent most of her time reading on the couch, she rarely had the energy and interest to pick up a pen and practice calligraphy like today. It seems that Concubine Liang's health has really improved a lot.

It was the first time he saw Concubine Liang writing, and he had to say hello, Concubine Liang was really a strange woman at that time, but it was a pity that she was lost in the harem.Otherwise, no matter whether he is a civil servant or a general, he will be a rare talent in the world.

Ren Zhi couldn't help picking up the ink sticks and grinding the ink for Concubine Liang. He watched Concubine Liang finish writing the whole picture before he unconsciously stopped. The green bamboo beside him had already handed over a warm wet cloth to offer He wipes his hands.Ren Zhi turned his head after wiping his hands, and found that Concubine Liang had already picked up the piece of paper, folded it a few times, threw it on the shelf beside him, and ordered to the green bamboo, "Let's burn it together later."

Ren Zhi raised his eyebrows, then said helplessly, "You still have this temper."

Green Bamboo stepped forward to put away the few sheets of paper on the shelf, took them out, and closed the palace door for the two of them. Concubine Liang poured tea for Ren Zhi and handed it to him, "Taste it, Your Majesty sent someone to deliver it to him." The new tea that came, I haven't had it for many years."

Ren Zhi took a sip of the tea, and asked Concubine Liang, "Father, how often do you come?"

Concubine Liang nodded, "Out of ten days, there will always be two or three days here. Why, for your mother and concubine's injustice?"

Ren Zhi was helpless, "I just don't know what you think. I always feel that if you really want to return to him, you won't have to wait until now."

Concubine Liang raised her eyes, with a warm smile on her face, she spoke after a long time, "Ren Zhi, or His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, now that you have become a noble prince, have you ever been tempted by that throne?"

Ren Zhi shook his head and chuckled, "Maybe some people in this world regard the throne as everything, but some people regard him as nothing."

Concubine Liang had a faint smile on her face, "It's the same for me. It's just that sometimes, it's just to wait for an opportunity."

"Timing" Ren Zhi was taken aback, "What timing?"

"Ren Zhi, do you know how my family background is?" Concubine Liang asked.

Concubine Liang was born in a famous family in the previous dynasty, and she also made a lot of contributions when Emperor Jingyan established the new dynasty, but because the Gongxi family was powerful and not as favored as Fang Yong, it gradually declined.

Concubine Liang looked at Ren Zhi's expression and continued, "Because my family was ostracized back then, I had no intention of fighting in court, and I intended to retreat, but at that time I was still favored, and Kang'er was a good boy who was very lovable. Even unintentionally, she still becomes a thorn in the side of others."

Concubine Liang sighed softly, and continued, "Kang'er was murdered, and I fell ill with depression in my heart. Afterwards, my father and brother wrote a letter saying that I was moved to the outside of Beijing by the left, and asked me to take good care of myself in the palace. I was alone at the time. , even if you get the grace, if no one takes care of you, you can only let others bully you."

"So, is it time now?" Ren Zhi looked at Concubine Liang and sighed, "I thought you were the only free and unrestrained person in this harem."

Concubine Liang shook her head, "After entering this palace gate, there will be no freedom anymore. If Kang'er is still alive, I might still try to get him to leave here and go to the border to be an idle prince. But I didn't expect Kang'er to have no blessings." I will live until that day. But as a mother, how can I allow my only flesh and blood to be killed without any reaction?"

Ren Zhi nodded, "Then how do you plan?"

"Back then, the Fang family and the Gongxi family were separate families, so there was no place for my family to stand. But now that Fang Yong has been removed, and the Gongxi family is dominant, His Majesty will not allow this to happen, so I have already found a reason to transfer my father and brother. I returned to the imperial city, and I have been favored again. It is time to return what others have done to my family in the past." Concubine Liang put down the teacup and said.

Ren Zhi bit his lower lip, "You said this to me today, obviously you have other purposes."

Concubine Liang said softly, "I have no children, even if I get rid of them, there is no other benefit except revenge. I didn't expect you to be the seventh prince, but you are my adopted son. As long as you want, I can Help you ascend the throne. But as I expected, you are not willing."

Ren Zhi picked up the teapot and poured tea for himself, "The throne is not more important to me than that person."

Concubine Liang reached out and stroked Ren Zhi's hair, "I just hope that person values ​​you more than the throne."

Ren Zhi bent his lips and said with a smile, "I hope so."

Concubine Liang regained her composure and continued, "So I thought, if that's the case, then I will cooperate with that person, he will help me get revenge, and I will help him get everything he wants, how about it?"

Ren Zhi stared intently at Concubine Liang for a long time before opening his mouth, "Actually, I never want you to get involved in this matter. I only hope that after this matter is over, I can take you out of this deep palace."

Concubine Liang chuckled, "It's fate, there's no way to escape."

Ren Zhi nodded, "Okay. It's just that Queen Gongxi is not an ordinary person. You must be careful. If you have anything to do, send someone to find me, and then we can discuss it."

Concubine Liang nodded, "Don't worry."

Ren Zhi waved his hand, "That's all, that's it, I'll go back first, and I'll come to see you some other day. You should be careful in front of your father."

Ren Zhi walked out slowly from Concubine Liang, but his mind became a little heavy.He originally wanted to protect Concubine Liang with his own strength, to help her avenge her son, and to take her out of this oppressive palace once a big event is accomplished in the future.Unexpectedly, she was finally involved here.

Who can be innocent in this imperial family?

Ren Zhi left Huayang Hall and wandered alone in the Imperial Garden.After being crowned king for several months, he is still used to being alone, ignoring all government affairs, but only interested in the art of war.Although Emperor Jingyan didn't love Concubine De as much as he used to, but he was extraordinarily indulgent to this young son who had suffered so much since he was a homeless child. He specially found an old friend from the past, and fought the world with him that day. Now he is recuperating at home. General, let Ren Zhi worship him as a teacher and learn the art of war.

Ren Zhi learned the art of war from General Cheng every day, so he wandered around the imperial garden by himself, visiting almost every corner here, and then felt bored, so he leaned against the big rock by the lotus pond to bask in the sun all day .

Now, when he came out from Concubine Liang, feeling depressed, he ran to the boulder again, with his limbs wide open, his eyes closed, lazily basking in the sun.

After a while, Ren Zhi heard voices coming from the path outside the rockery by the pool, his ears moved slightly, and he recognized that the person who spoke was a servant he had just met in Huayang Palace, "The seventh prince is said to be I was saved by the concubine Liang when I was young, and I am grateful for the kindness of the concubine Liang, so I come to visit when I have nothing to do."

Another person wondered, "Didn't the Seventh Prince live outside the palace since he was a child? How did Concubine Liang save him?"

The servant said, "You didn't know at the gate of the palace before, where did you wander as the seventh prince for so many years? By chance, he was sent into the palace, and became a rootless person like you and me. Someone took care of him and entered the Palace of Funing to serve His Majesty."

"So, this seventh prince... used to be a eunuch?" The other person was obviously very surprised, "No wonder, I saw that he looks feminine, and he is not similar to the other princes."

Ren Zhi turned over and turned his back to the rockery. This is not the first time he has heard such words, but there are some things that he needs to know. Anyway, he does not expect to marry a wife and have children in this life. The status of eunuch can also hinder those People's gossip, why not do it.

Just as he was thinking, he suddenly heard a scream from the other side of the rockery, followed by a crisp slap in the face, Ren Zhi was stunned for a moment, turned over and saw Duan Yixian standing in front of the two servants, furious.
