Reborn as King again

Those who should come will always come. After the morning court, the queen mother sent a little eunuch to let me go to the Palace of Compassion. The little eunuch didn't look very good, so I went with him to see Xia Zhisu. What kind of play do you want to sing?

As soon as I entered the main hall of the Compassionate Ning Palace, I saw the empress mother sitting on the main seat, looking angry, while Xia Zhisu was kneeling on the main hall wearing a Taoist aunt's attire. She was a bit bloated, and she was sobbing .

When the queen mother saw me, her face became even uglier, and she yelled at me without waiting for me to speak: "You bastard!! Look at what you have done? Su'er is your sister-in-law, how can you do it?!"

The queen mother got angry. I think she was just putting on a show. After all, this is what their Xia family wanted. They used the awkward Xia Zhisu to strengthen the Xia family's position.Since the queen mother is going to act, then I will accompany her to perform, I walked to Xia Zhisu's side, helped her up, pretended to be ignorant, and said, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you? "

The queen mother immediately came down from the main seat, shook off my hand supporting Xia Zhisu, and said, "Don't touch Su'er! Get your dirty hands away!"

I froze for a moment, continued to act, and asked in a slightly angry tone: "What's going on? Should the empress mother be angry to give me a reason?"

"Reason? You want a reason, don't you?" The queen mother narrowed her eyes and said, "Su'er is pregnant with your child!"

With a thunderbolt on my face, I pulled Xia Zhisu and asked, "Sister-in-law, is this true?"

Xia Zhisu just cried and didn't answer. The queen mother sneered, "It's not true? If Ai's family hadn't found out early, she would have taken the abortion pill." Then the mother gave an overview of the matter. Zhisu has a bad appetite recently, always feeling nauseous, and the queen mother wanted to see an imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment, but Xia Zhisu refused to let her say anything, and then Xia Zhisu secretly ordered someone to cook a bowl of medicine. Cut it off, the imperial doctor saw the medicine and said it was safflower, and the mother remembered that Xia Zhisu had gained weight for no reason recently, and thought she was just going to the palace to eat well, but she didn't expect that she was pregnant with a child .Yesterday, the queen mother pressed Xia Zhisu all night, and finally Xia Zhisu had to tell what happened at the Taimiao that night.

After I heard this, I sneered in my heart. I didn't finish drinking the abortion pill long ago, but waited to drink it when my stomach was protruding. Isn't this obvious to people?

The queen mother questioned: "Emperor, what should we do about this matter?"

Ask me what to do?I am so "filial" to the queen mother, of course I want to follow her idea, I glanced at Xia Zhisu and said: "Then I will make the emperor's wife a concubine."

"What?" The queen mother couldn't believe it, "Prince! Are you crazy?" The queen mother is still acting, very realistic.

Xia Zhisu was also stunned. She probably didn't expect me to compromise without denying or making trouble?

I comforted my mother and said, "Then what else can I do? Could it be that you want your grandson to be lost like this? Or to live among the people?"

"No way! What did the ministers say? What did the common people say? How can the royal family have any face? You have to think about it, my son." The queen mother still objected now, and she pulled my sleeve to try to persuade me, "Actually, I know this. There are not many people who know about this matter, only an imperial doctor and a few confidantes of Ai's family know, we can think of other ways."

Why is the queen mother still singing against me here?I felt depressed for a while, isn't this exactly what she wants?I had no choice but to comfort her and said: "Mother, don't worry, the emperor's sister-in-law has a noble status, and she is still pregnant with my child. Didn't my grandfather marry his widowed sister-in-law as his concubine before? There are precedents for this, you don't have to." Too worried." Then I smiled slightly at Xia Zhisu and said, "I know you love the emperor's wife, and I assure you that the emperor's wife will not be wronged after she follows me." Seeing my smile, Xia Zhisu listened After listening to my promise to my mother, she blushed and lowered her head shyly.

The relationship between Xia Zhisu and the emperor's brother is not good. I checked the brochure of the respect room at that time. Xia Zhisu was the queen for five years, but she was only lucky six times. What can she know about the relationship between men and women? ?I guess I haven't heard a single sweet talk, maybe even her sister is not as good as her emotionally, I will not confront her hard, I will be soft, and let her suffer slowly in the harem.

The next day I issued an imperial decree, canonizing the former empress Xia Zhisu as Concubine Su, and lived in Jiaoxi Palace.The geographical location of Jiaoxi Hall is rather embarrassing for Xia Zhisu, because it is only separated from the Queen's Palace, Fengyi Palace by a wall.I did this on purpose, Xia Zhisu has such a high heart, she must not be willing to be a concubine, her goal should be the queen, I will let her live next door to Fengyi Palace, so that she can see and eat.

My decision also caused an uproar in the court.Except for the members of the Xia family, all the ministers held opposing opinions. Unfortunately, Xia Zhisu and I "have already cooked rice", and there is a precedent for the royal family. In the end, they just let it go.

After Xia Zhisu moved into the Jiaoxi Hall, I went there almost every day to ask about his health.Xia Zhisu was flattered on the surface, but she didn't quite know what I was planning.I deal with her like I dealt with her younger sister Xia Zhirou. After all, she used to be my sister-in-law, and I can't be too hot, so as not to be too fake, so I always respect and love her in front of her, occasionally being ambiguous With his actions and some provocative words, within half a month, Xia Zhisu's defense line had a crack.

That day I deliberately didn’t go to Jiaoxi Hall to visit Xia Zhisu. In the evening, I heard that she didn’t think much about eating and drinking. I went to see her again the next day, and she played the song "Green Water Source" by the emperor there. Let me listen, I pretended to be angry and said that she still had my brother in her heart, so I was about to slam the door and leave, but Xia Zhisu hugged me from behind, crying silently, and whimpered after a long time, " Although I have not forgotten him, the person I love now is you!"

My heart has long been numb, look, the cheapest thing in this world is love, Xia Zhisu surrendered to me in just half a month.When Xia Zhisu said that she loved me, I grabbed her hand on my chest and turned around, saying affectionately, I love you too.

Then I treated her very tenderly every day, and began to tell her the love words I often said to her sister, and gave her some strange things every now and then, always warm and affectionate, she felt that I really loved her , I really love her child, but in fact, in my eyes, her bulging belly is a cancerous tumor. I am always planning how to make her child disappear from this world.

In this way, Xia Zhisu took the place of her younger sister Rou Zhaoyi and became the new favorite concubine, consolidating their Xia family's influence in the harem.The harem once again faced a situation where the three concubines competed for favor, and these three concubines were nothing more than Jia Wanru, He Wenliu and Xia Zhisu.

In this way, another month passed, until the Mid-Autumn Festival on August [-]th, when I held a banquet in the imperial garden that night, my mother sent someone to say that she was not feeling well today and would not be present, so only the concubines of the harem were present together Watch the moon and eat cakes.

I was sitting in the main seat, Jia Wanru was still sitting at the first table on the left as a queen, Xia Zhisu was sitting at the first table on the right with her big belly, and He Wenliu was sitting at the second table on the right with two nurses, and the other concubines rank while sitting.The arrangement of this table clearly reflected that He Wenliu was at a disadvantage among the three concubines, and the eunuchs who were serving at the side were mocking, but He Wenliu himself did not realize that he was always taking care of Yun. Er and Jier.

I arranged the seats like this on purpose. When the concubines took their seats, Xia Zhisu didn't say hello, and didn't even look at He Wenliu, as if he didn't pay attention to He Wenliu at all.Jia Wanru still knew the general situation better, and nodded to He Wenliu in greeting, and then looked at Xia Zhisu's seat with some doubts.Jia Wanru knows me better, she knows that He Wenliu is far more important than Xia Zhisu in my heart, but she doesn't know why I made such an arrangement today.

Wanfu invited an acrobatics team from outside the palace to perform acrobatics for us in the imperial garden. It was relatively new.

At this moment, Li Yi, who was by Jia Wanru's side, trotted towards me. He was still young and seemed to have no interest in these acrobatics. I act like a baby, and I also try my best to satisfy his wishes and play the role of loving father very well.

I hugged him in my arms, with a kind look on my face, "What's wrong with Yi'er?"

Li Yi pointed to He Wenliu, and said with some grievances: "Concubine Wen brought her younger brother and younger sister to attend today. My son and minister wanted to go and see, but the mother and concubine refused." Li Yi was originally the youngest among the princes and daughters , Now that a younger brother and sister finally appeared, of course I am happy. Every day I shouted to go to the Qingluan Hall. Jia Wanru couldn't resist, so I took Li Yi there once or twice. When Li Yi saw such a small child, he felt novelty. In the end, I didn't need Jia Wanru's leadership at all, and I often went to play with my younger siblings. He Wenliu has never been immune to children, and he can be regarded as taking care of Li Yi.

I glanced at Jia Wanru, and Jia Wanru shook her head at me. She felt that He Wenliu was taking care of the two children now, and Li Yi had to take care of the three in the past. She didn't want to cause trouble for He Wenliu.I smiled at Jia Wanru, indicating that it was all right.Then he coaxed Li Yi and said, "My concubine won't let you go, but my father will let you go." As soon as Li Yi heard that he could see his younger brother and younger sister, he ran towards He Wenliu's table.

I watched Li Yi's figure turning around Yun'er and Ji'er, and sighed deeply on purpose, and this scene happened to be seen by Jia Wanru.

After the dinner, everyone left, and Jia Wanru and I took a walk under the moonlight. We often walked on the forest path in the palace, gossiping while walking, this seems to have become our habit.

We chatted about those wonderful acrobatics tonight, discussed which one was good and which one was thrilling, and finally decided to keep this acrobatic troupe in the palace and perform for us in the future.Jia Wanru took my arm, and "inadvertently" changed the topic: "The concubine sees the emperor frowning and sighing tonight, is there something bothering you?"

I glanced at Jia Wanru, with the expression that you still understand me, and said, "It's because of Concubine Wen."

"Concubine Wen?" Of course Jia Wanru knew it was because of He Wenliu, and she followed my words and said, "When you talk about concubines and concubines, you also find it strange. Usually, Concubine Wen sits at the opposite table of concubines at night banquets, but today The second one is Concubine Su sitting at the table opposite the concubine, and the concubine is not used to it."

I sighed and said, "I have to take good care of Xia's family, so that my mother won't get into trouble with Concubine Wen." Jia Wanru looked puzzled, and she couldn't believe it, "How could it be? The hundred-day banquet that my mother and queen hosted for Yun'er and Ji'er It's so lively, it's enough to give Concubine Wen enough face."

I shook my head, patted the back of Jia Wanru's hand and said, "This is superficiality, you forgot that when Concubine Wen was eight months pregnant, the queen mother made Concubine Wen kneel in the ancestral hall, causing Concubine Wen's dystocia and almost killed her three times. Jia Wanru thought about what happened at that time and said, "But didn't everyone say it was a misunderstanding?"

I sneered for a while, "Misunderstanding? Concubine Wan, your father is also an imperial court official. Do you think it is possible for an imperial official to write the wrong edict? She is my mother. What can I do with her?" Few people know the truth of Yizhi's matter. I say what I say now, and the purpose is to stir up Jia Wanru's vigilance towards Xia's family.

Sure enough, Jia Wanru stopped talking, and I pretended that you don't have to worry about it, and put my arm around Jia Wanru's shoulder to comfort him: "Don't worry, the queen mother won't do anything to you, you have Yi'er behind you, Yi'er It's the prince, so what could they do to the prince?"

It is enough to say this, Jia Wanru knows that Xia Zhisu and He Wenliu are not the same kind of people, He Wenliu will not fight or grab, but Xia Zhisu is a former queen, and there is a Xia family behind her, Jia Wanru should have heard of her vigorous and resolute behavior in the harem before .Jia Wanru's son Li Yi is still young, and the position of the prince has not yet been secured. If Xia Zhisu gives birth to a prince, it will definitely threaten her son's status. I think Jia Wanru will definitely not let this happen.

More than 20 days later, one afternoon, I discussed this year's autumn harvest with the Minister of the Ministry of Industry and the Assistant Minister in the Imperial Study Room.I never cared about these things in my last life. At that time, I only thought that if I had enough to eat, the whole world would be full. But when I was fleeing, I saw so many people starving to death. I don’t want this to happen again.This year is a bumper harvest, and I plan to stock up on granaries to prepare for possible disaster victims in the future.

While we were discussing, we heard a noise outside the door, as if a little eunuch wanted to see me, but Wanfu blocked him.With such a commotion, I couldn't talk well with the officials, so I asked Wanfu to let the little eunuch in.

I also recognize the little eunuch, who is serving Xia Zhisu, his name is Xiao Anzi.When Xiao Anzi saw me, he knelt on the ground and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, big...something is wrong, Concubine Su just rolled down the stairs, I guess... I guess the child will be lost, you...you must make the decision for Concubine Su ah!"

After I got the news, I snorted coldly, Xia Zhisu must have been pregnant for six months, Jia Wanru only started now, obviously wanting her life!
