Reborn as King again

On the fifth day after the "Rui Wang" class teacher returned to the domain, Jia Wanru came back from "Nanshan". Counting the days, it has been half a year since we separated.

The Empress Jia Wanru in her previous life was very secure. No matter how I adopted the harem for more than 20 years, she will always be the one I love the most. More or less it was King Rui's instigation.But in this life, I have given Jia Wanru too many blows. I missed the position of empress, my own son was adopted, and I was once demoted as a talented person, and there will always be this or that beauty who attracts me. This has been threatening Jia Wanru's status all the time, so her unreasonable troubles have been restrained a lot compared to her previous life.

When Jia Wanru came back, I held a feast in the palace to welcome her back. I haven’t seen her in half a year. Jia Wanru hasn’t changed much, she is still so gentle and pleasant. Then, for a month, I stayed in Baoge Palace to relieve my pain of lovesickness .

At the beginning of May, the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, the sun is warm, and everything is going on in secret. After "King Rui" returned to Huainan, he did not arouse the slightest suspicion, but the fact that Zhang Yuan suddenly lost a counselor was occasionally mentioned, "Rui Wang" "Wang" casually found an excuse to dismiss him.

Leaving aside King Rui's side, the Xia family and the Jia family have been living in peace recently, they didn't say a word in the courtroom, and even the memorials were much less.Judging from the current situation of the Jia family and the Xia family, the Jia family has an absolute advantage. Their daughter is a noble concubine, and their grandson is a prince. Their status seems unshakable.And the few people sent by the Xia family to the palace were all executed for committing crimes. Instead of helping, they also tried to hinder the family. In addition, the queen mother has become more and more indifferent to Grand Master Xia for some reason in the past two years. The situation of the Xia family is getting worse and worse.

But this is only on the surface, the Xia family still has chips in their hands, and that is my queen, Zhou Ling.The first time I suspected Zhou Ling was about the murderer. With Xia Zhiyuan’s reminder, I became more and more clear about Zhou Ling’s background. The relationship between Zhou Ling and the Xia family is not even my mother. know.

After supper that day, I took a walk in the garden alone to digest my food.As I was walking, I heard a burst of pleasant laughter. After hearing the sound, I saw Yun'er and Duanmuchen sitting there in front of the long pavilion not far away. There was a screen in front of them. Behind the screen, they seemed to be gesticulating. wearing something.

Out of curiosity, I walked over.It was only when I walked in that I could see clearly that there was a lamp on behind the screen, and there were two little figures dancing on the screen, probably something for children, and it seemed novel to me.

The eunuchs who were lighting the lamps at the back saw me coming, and they all got up to greet me.Duanmuchen and Yun'er also put down their things to welcome me.

"What is this?" I asked curiously.

"This is a shadow puppet show, a folk thing." Duanmuchen replied after greeting me.

"Does Yun'er like this thing?" I reached out and took out a shadow puppet from the wooden box on the ground. This shadow puppet is a young woman with exquisite workmanship and new coloring. It seems that it has just been completed not long ago.

"I like it," Yun'er nodded, and said with a smile: "The concubine Chen made this for Yun'er herself."

I was slightly taken aback, looked at Duanmuchen and couldn't help laughing: "I didn't expect Concubine Chen's hands to be quite clever." Some time ago, Yun'er pestered him every day to learn how to make lanterns, and today he made a few shadow puppets Come.

"En," Duanmuchen said without hiding anything, "When I was bored, I used to learn to play among the people."

Thanks to Duanmuchen's blessing, Yun'er's hostility towards me has decreased a lot. I don't know what he said to Yun'er. Yun'er is willing to smile at me, talk to me, and occasionally eat with me.Yun'er likes Duanmuchen very much, but unlike her attitude towards He Wenliu, Yun'er likes to act like a baby in front of He Wenliu, but when she is with Duanmuchen, they are always playing. Yuner never seems to regard Duanmuchen as an elder, but He was treating him as a close friend, just like Li Chen.

"Father, do you want to come and play together?" Yun'er pouted her lips and extended an invitation.

"No," I said with a smile, "Father just watches you guys play."

When Yun'er just picked up the shadow puppet, a little court lady came over with a food box. After saluting, she said with a smile: "Princess Yun'er, your favorite red bean paste is here. You should rest first and eat red bean paste." Let's play with the sand again."

Children love to eat this kind of snacks, and Yun'er's mouth is already drooling when seeing delicious food served.The maid put the food box on the table of the Eight Immortals, opened it, and brought out the bowl of red bean paste. The smell of red bean paste was so strong and sweet that even I could smell it.

At this time, Duanmuchen's face suddenly changed, he stood up covering his mouth, walked quickly to the tree, and then retched.

Seeing this, Xiao Lanzi, the eunuch next to him, quickly took out a brocade handkerchief and handed it to Duanmuchen, "Master, are you alright?"

"No...it's nothing." Duanmuchen's complexion was a little pale.

Seeing Duanmuchen like this, I suddenly had an idea in my heart.

Going forward, supporting Duanmuchen, I whispered in his ear: "Are you pregnant?"

"Eh?" Duanmuchen was a little surprised when I asked him this question. He shook his head and said, "How could it be? I'm afraid I ate something unclean this morning. I'm a man, so how can it be so easy..."

This is not certain, He Wenliu was pregnant with Dan'er when he was not favored, not to mention Duanmuchen and I have been married for nearly two years.However, Duanmuchen's status is too special, he is a subjugated royal family, he should have been killed, if he really conceived a child, his daughter would be fine, but if he was a prince, he would not be able to stay.

My concerns are exactly what Duanmuchen thought in his heart. He saw that I was silent, and after thinking about it, he said: "Why don't I go to the imperial doctor to check it out? If there are really any, I will quietly ..."

"If you want to keep this child, don't go to the imperial doctor." I interrupted Duanmuchen. I was very close to Duanmuchen, and the voice of the conversation was very low. The serving eunuchs should not be able to hear it. , I whispered: "If you are really pregnant, don't make a sound, don't go to the imperial doctor, and keep it from everyone, especially the queen, you know?"

Duanmuchen looked at me suspiciously, he didn't know what my intention was, but he nodded obediently.

"Ms. Chen Concubine, are you alright?" At some point, Yun'er walked up to us, grasping the corners of our clothes with both hands and shaking them.

"I'm fine," Duanmuchen patted Yun'er's head with a smile, and comforted her, "Princess Yun'er, your red bean paste will be cold if you don't eat it."

After being coaxed by Duanmuchen, Yun'er obediently sat on the stone bench and ate dessert.

Duanmuchen was about to speak and continue the previous topic, but was interrupted by another voice."What are the emperor and concubine Chen whispering?"

Turning around, I saw Zhou Ling walking towards us with a group of people.When he walked in front of us, Zhou Ling saluted me first, and then Duanmuchen saluted Zhou Ling again, "I have seen the empress."

It may be that what I just said made Duanmuchen feel lingering fears. He looked at Zhou Ling with a strange look.I squeezed Duanmuchen's hand a little harder, and he came back to his senses, pursed his mouth and lowered his head.

Since Zhou Ling tried to kill Duanmuchen with the queen's power stick last time but failed, his attitude towards Duanmuchen was very cold. He didn't like Duanmuchen, very disliked.Duanmuchen's temperament is very similar to He Wenliu's, he is a bit submissive, so he can bear Zhou Ling's occasional difficulties as long as he can bear it.

"Why did the queen suddenly appear here?" I asked.

"Take Wei'er out for a walk." Zhou Ling turned sideways as he spoke, and I saw Li Wei's nanny standing behind him.

Because of his young age, Li Wei had no impression of Liu Sha's death. At most, he cried and fussed for a few days when he first arrived at Fengyi Palace. Now he is like other children, eating what he should eat and what he should sleep. Heartless, I'm afraid that when he grows up, he won't even know who Liu Sha is.

I walked up to him, stretched out my hand to tease Li Wei and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for a few days, Wei'er seems to have grown up again, it seems that you have raised him well, Queen."

Zhou Ling smiled happily, "Since it is the emperor's entrustment, I will naturally raise the fourteenth prince well."

Seeing me laughing happily, Li Wei called out inarticulately: "Father...Father Emperor..."

I couldn't help being a little surprised, "Will can talk?"

"Yes, I just learned it yesterday." Zhou Ling sighed slightly and lowered his eyes, "It's just a pity that Concubine Liu..."

I didn't answer Zhou Ling's words, and hugged Li Wei from the nanny's hand. He was a cute, chubby child who smiled at everyone.Li Wei looked at Yun'er who was sitting on the stone bench eating red bean paste, then stretched out his hand to her, yelling.

I hugged Li Wei and walked towards Yun'er, calling out: "Yun'er, do you see who is here?"

Although Yun'er is afraid of life, she is not afraid of children, she just asked a little timidly: "Who is...?"

"It's Will." I introduced him, "Your brother."

But Yun'er shook her head, and then said: "No, my younger brother is Ji'er, not him."

As soon as Yun'er's words came out, the faces of all the people present changed, and the eunuchs knelt on the ground one after another, trembling, wishing that they hadn't heard anything.

I didn't speak, Duanmuchen didn't understand what happened before, so he also remained silent.Instead, Zhou Ling explained in embarrassment: "Yun'er, the sixth prince is the same concubine as you, and Wei'er is born of other concubines, but you are both the emperor's children, so Wei'er is your younger brother."

"Is that the same as the dead thirteenth brother?" Yun'er gave Li Wei a disgusted look, and immediately walked around behind Duanmuchen, saying in horror: "Hold him away! Stay away from me! If something happens to him, it will be blamed on me! Just like Ji'er!"

"Yun'er!" I yelled loudly, scaring Yun'er into tears. She grabbed Duanmuchen's clothes tightly and cried, "Father is angry, father is angry because of other younger brothers! I don't want it! I don't want it!" Go to Yuncheng! I want to wait for Concubine Mu and Ji'er to come back!"

"Yun'er!" Zhou Ling exclaimed: "How can you say that about your father?! Hurry up and admit his mistake."

"I'm not wrong! If anything happens to this emperor's brother, father will definitely blame me!" Yun'er refused to let go, crying and crying: "At that time... at that time, I will be punished. Send it to Yuncheng, just like Ji'er! I don't want..."

Even if he didn't know anything about the harem, Duanmuchen could see the seriousness of the matter in this scene, and wanted to intercede for Yun'er, "Your Majesty, you know, Princess Yun'er is mentally retarded, You...don't bother with her..."

I put Li Wei in my arms to the nanny with no expression on my face, glanced at the eunuchs kneeling on the ground shivering, and asked sharply: "Who is talking to Yun'er?"

The eunuchs below were all shaking, no one dared to say a word.

"Okay, very good." Think you'll be fine if you don't speak?I sneered and said, "Wanfu, pull out all the eunuchs who are serving Yun'er, and die!"

"Don't!" Yun'er still understood the word "stick dead", she rushed out suddenly, and hit me hard with her small fists, "You are a bad person! Why did you stick them dead?! Father He's a bad person!" She already knew how the people in Qingluan Palace died back then.

Everyone present was stunned, the fifth princess actually accused her father? !Still moved? !

Duanmuchen was the first to come to his senses, and he immediately stepped forward to hold Yun'er, lest she act as someone who offended Long Wei again, "Yun'er! Yun'er! Calm down, calm down!"

After all, Yun'er is a daughter's family, and she is young and has little strength, so it doesn't hurt too much to hit me.

After Yun'er was pulled away, Zhou Ling hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern: "Your Majesty, are you okay? Princess Yun'er..."

"It's okay." I patted the dragon robe and walked towards Yun'er.

Duanmuchen hurriedly protected Yun'er behind her, as if afraid of what I would do, "Your Majesty..."

"Yun'er, don't you want something to happen to your eunuch?" I lowered my head, smiled at Yun'er, and told her that I was not angry with her.

"..." Yun'er pursed her lips and said nothing, but her nose and eyes were red.

"As long as you tell Father, who told you about Ji'er, Father will spare your eunuch, okay?" I coaxed her.

Duanmuchen saw that I had already made concessions, so he also persuaded Yun'er for me: "Yun'er, look, your father didn't mean to blame you at all, you won't go to Yuncheng, you just follow your father Let me tell you, which eunuch said something bad to you, okay?"

No matter how much she dislikes me, Yun'er listens to Duanmuchen's words very much, she looks up at Duanmuchen, and Duanmuchen nods to her, motioning her to speak out.After a while, Yun'er stretched out her hand, pointing to the maid who was kneeling in the corner and said, "She told me that if something happened to the emperor's younger brother, then go The one who was sent to Cloud City was me."
