Reborn as King again

Ran Kingdom and Dashang were destroyed, and the land of Dashang was divided between Datong and Zheng. Now, the two strongest countries in the Central Plains border each other. Although they signed an armistice agreement and each recuperated, there are constant small disputes at the border. break out.

The seven cities agreed with Zheng Guo have all been taken over, and Ouyang Chu was safely sent to the border and returned to Zheng Guo. He will need to recuperate in the next few years, and the next war will unify the Central Plains.

After the armistice agreement was signed, the Jia family, the Xia family and the Liu family jointly signed a letter, hoping to call He Wenwu back to Beijing as soon as possible.Because He Wenwu's military skills are too great, and holding a heavy army again is always a threat to the other three major families. In their view, I rely too much on He Wenwu in terms of military use. If He Wenwu has the heart to rebel, Datong will break out Unprecedented civil war.

It is true that I have given the He family too much power now, but this is the only way for now. I will cut the power of the He family, but not now, He Wenwu is still useful, and he cannot be allowed to return to Beijing. On the border, he pretended to be afraid that Zheng Guo would not abide by the content of the agreement, so He Wenwu would take a good look at it.

The imperial palace has not been very peaceful recently. Deng Chengying, who has just entered the palace, has become the most favored concubine among the newcomers, and has been listed as the most favored concubine.

I dote on other concubines, more or less because of utilitarian political factors, even Jia Wanru and He Wenliu are like this, but Deng Chengying is different, I dote on him entirely because he really suits my heart, not because I like him, but because I like him very much. In order to show my love for him, I directly named him Concubine Ying.

Deng Chengying's family background is not considered noble, and cannot be compared with Jia Wanru and the others, but it is because of this that he can act like a baby with me without any qualms, asking me for this or that, relying on me instead of his family as a backer, and relying on his favor in the harem Jiao.In a sense, Deng Chengying is the same as my father's favorite concubine Jia Concubine, stepping on the other concubines to climb up step by step by winning the emperor's love.

Deng Chengying's popularity in the harem is not good, or he doesn't care, the concubine's place is there, except for me, the queen mother, Zhou Ling and Jia Wanru who must ask for their greetings, if he doesn't want to, he can take care of others Turn around and leave.It is completely different from the way of getting along with other concubines.For example, Liu Sha and Jia Wanru met by chance in the imperial garden. No matter how serious the smell of gunpowder was between their families, they must have greeted each other with smiles on their faces and made enough effort to greet each other on the surface.Even He Wenliu, no matter how much he doesn't like to get along with people, he will stop and nod to them.

But Deng Chengying felt that this was hypocrisy. He never did anything superficially friendly when facing other concubines.

Deng Chengying's high profile obviously pissed off other concubines, those who were of a lower rank than him had to swallow their anger, and those who were of equal or higher rank were full of gunpowder. I remember that was the case when Deng Chengying was favored in the previous life.

One day when I went to Qingluan Hall to look for He Wenliu, I was told that He Wenliu was no longer in the hall, did not say where he was going, only said that he left Qingluan Hall with the new moon, I was a little surprised, He Wenliu should take supplements at this time Time, I often choose this time to appear, he never chooses this time to go out.

I opened my mouth and asked Little Luzi who was guarding Qingluan Hall, "What happened to Concubine Wen?"

"Slave..." Little Luzi faltered a little, not daring to speak.

At this time, a voice came out, "Someone bullied the concubine mother today!"

Turning around, it was Li Ji, who was walking towards me holding Yun'er's hand, followed by his little companion reading Su Zhuo.It looks like they were playing in the garden just now.

Li Ji and Su Zhuo walked up to me and greeted me respectfully, Yun'er also smiled sweetly at me, I pampered Yun'er's little head and asked, "Who bullied Concubine Wen?"

Li Ji pursed his lips and said: "It's not that Concubine Ying, he said a lot of ugly things to Concubine Mother today. Concubine Mother was very unhappy when she heard it, and went out again not long after she came back."

"What did Concubine Ying say?" He Wenliu, who was so calm and temperless, was not happy.

Li Ji pulled Yun'er and said: "Yun'er, tell father what you said to me just now, what did Concubine Ying say to Concubine Mother in the imperial garden today?"

Yun'er was afraid of life, so she grabbed the corner of Li Ji's clothes and replied timidly: "Today there is a beautiful brother in the imperial garden. He was a little nervous, and his tongue was tied up and he couldn't speak.

Seeing this, Li Ji simply helped Yun'er tell the whole story, "Concubine Ying said that the concubine mother has a life to support, and what's the use of having many births, dead dead, stupid stupid, and one with such a bad reputation..."

"Ji'er!" I interrupted Li Ji with a frown, "Where are your palace rules? How can you say that about your elders?!"

"The person who bullies the mother and concubine is not the elder of the minister!" Li Ji was not happy, he didn't think he did something wrong, "If you don't believe me, the emperor can ask Xiaoluzi, Xiaoluzi is also present, he can hear it clearly !"

I turned my face to stare at Xiaoluzi, and Xiaoluzi immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed a few times, silent.

"Little Green, what happened today?"

"Emperor... Your Majesty," Xiao Luzi was just a little eunuch, and it would cost his head to gossip about his master.

"Say, I pardon you innocent."

"Actually..." Little Lvzi's voice trembled slightly, and she slowly told what happened this morning, "Princess Yun'er wanted to go to the Royal Garden to play, but Concubine Wen went with her worriedly, and then she met Concubine Ying, in fact... it’s nothing, Concubine Ying didn’t say what Concubine Ying said in front of Concubine Wen, but he told the eunuch next to him, but the voice was a bit loud, and Concubine Wen heard it It's..."

"That's not true," Li Ji interrupted without waiting for Xiao Luzi to finish, "He said it deliberately to Concubine Mother, and Concubine Mother didn't have any grudges with him, why did he say that about Concubine Mother!"

Deng Chengying has always been like this, and it hasn't changed since the previous life. I patted the back of Li Ji's head and asked him to play with Yun'er, then turned around and led them away from Qingluan Hall.

Wan Fu helped me step onto the imperial chariot, and asked tentatively, "Your Majesty, my servant should go and find out where Concubine Wen is now."

"No need," I ordered, "Show the ancestral hall."

Inside Qingluan Hall

Li Ji picked a light purple bluish peony that He Wenliu planted in front of his dormitory, and put it on Yun'er's head, "What Yun'er said just now is really good, it's not in vain for me to teach you like that before."

Yun'er turned her head to the side, she didn't understand Li Ji's meaning, she just asked, "Is Ji'er happy?"

"Of course I'm happy." After putting on flowers for Yun'er, Li Ji stroked her bun, "Yun'er is so kind to me."

Little Luzi stood aside crying and said with a sad face: "Little ancestor, this is a crime of deceiving the emperor. If the emperor knows that we have half-spoken, then blame it later, and the slave's head will move."

"What are you afraid of, I will protect you," Li Ji glanced at Xiaoluzi, and said coldly: "At that time, only you, Yun'er, concubine mother, concubine Ying and the people around her were present. Whoever speaks first will be the victim, as long as you keep your mouth shut and don't say what you shouldn't say."

Listening to Li Ji's words, Little Luzi felt chills all over her body, which was not at all like a child under the age of seven, and it took him a long time to murmur and say, "Slave...slave will definitely not talk nonsense."

Yun'er sitting on the stone bench could not understand what they were talking about, she just felt bored, saw Su Zhuo standing silently behind Li Ji, jumped off the stone bench, walked up to Su Zhuo, and asked him Stretch out your hand, "Is there any pine nut candy?"

"Hey..." Su Zhuo was stunned for a moment, he never thought that Yun'er, who was afraid of a stranger, would take the initiative to talk to him.

"Is there any sugar?" Yun'er asked again.

Only then did Su Zhuo come to his senses, and hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Not today, if the princess likes it, I will definitely offer it to you tomorrow, can you?"

"Okay," Yun'er smiled slightly at Su Zhuo, "My name is Yun'er, what's your name?"

"Su Zhuo."

"What's your relationship with Ji'er?" Yun'er continued to ask, "Why do you follow behind him every day?"

"Weichen is the companion of His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince."

"Then... what is companion reading?"

"Accompaniment is someone who accompanies His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince to study."

"Reading..." Yun'er frowned immediately when she heard the word "reading".

At this time, Li Ji went on to talk and said with a smile: "Well, Su Zhuo accompanied me to study, Yun'er accompanied me to play, we have always been like this, Yun'er doesn't remember?"

When Yun'er heard this, she shook her head numbly, she really didn't remember anything.Seeing this, Li Ji hugged Yun'er into his arms, stroked her back gently, and said gently: "It's okay, Yun'er, everything will be fine."

Su Zhuo looked at the picture of the two sisters embracing each other, and his thoughts recalled a few years ago, when he met them for the first time, it seemed to be similar to the current scene, but unfortunately things are different.

The imperial chariot stopped in front of the ancestral hall. As soon as I got off the imperial chariot, I saw the crescent moon guarding the door. Sure enough, I guessed it right. He Wenliu came to the ancestral hall. He came to the ancestral hall to see our dead daughter, Dan'er.

Dan'er is the most painful wound in He Wenliu's heart, and it is estimated that it will not heal in his lifetime. He will come to the ancestral hall to worship Dan'er almost every month.

When Xinyue saw me, she knelt down to pay her respects. I walked up the steps and stopped beside her. Princess Er came to the ancestral hall after being sent back to Qingluan Hall, and has been inside for two hours."

"I see." I said, gently opened the door and walked in.

He Wenliu sat on the futon, staring at Dan'er's spirit seat in a daze.

I walked slowly to his side, sat down beside him, sighed and said: "Concubine Wen, forget about Dan'er."

It may be that my voice of entering the room was too soft, He Wenliu didn't hear it, I suddenly made such a noise, which startled him, and wanted to stand up to greet me, I took his hand and shook his head to indicate no.

"Concubine Wen, promise me, forget about Dan'er."

"Weichen..." He Wenliu turned his head, looked at Dan'er's spirit seat again, and said softly, "Dan'er would be very lonely alone, Weichen just wants to talk to her, so that she won't be so lonely."
