Reborn as King again

The fact that He Wenliu forced Liu Sha to jump into the lake was widely circulated in the palace, and the process was embellished. In recent days, I haven’t been to Qingluan Hall much, which made the palace people feel that I am very dissatisfied with He Wenliu’s behavior and think it’s an exaggeration. It won't be long before He Wenliu will fall out of favor.In fact, it was because I was busy with official business, I was not in the royal study every day, or I was discussing countermeasures with the ministers, I was a little physically and mentally exhausted, so I simply went back to my bedroom to rest at night.

I didn't think the matter of jumping into the lake was a big deal. I had taught He Wenliu well before, not to be too weak, and not to let people step on his head. I think he handled it well this time. Anyway, no one died, so he couldn't get out. What a big deal.

But Li Chen felt very guilty about this. He thought it was all because of himself that I left He Wenliu in the cold. He came to me today specifically to excuse He Wenliu.

I remember that when He Wenliu was still kept in the harem by me, he could only be with Dan'er as company, while Li Chen and Dan'er were not valued as much, and they were regarded as sympathetic, so the relationship was very good, and Dan'er always said that he would marry when he grew up To Li Chen as his wife.After Dan'er's death, on the surface Li Chen was sad for a while, but he had distanced himself from the people around him. At the beginning, Li Chen saw Dan'er being killed, but he was powerless. This made him grow up overnight, watching everything in the harem with cold eyes.

Li Chen came to Qianlong Palace to look for me at night, and I met him in the study.I seem to see the shadow of his biological mother Xu in Li Chen's body. That Xu was originally an oiran in a brothel, and she has an enchanting smell on her body. Although Li Chen's appearance is more and more similar to Xu's, his temperament is completely different. , has a pure and refined meaning.I think that in a few years, the title of the most beautiful woman in the capital will change hands again.

I said: "It's so late, why did Shen'er find me?"

Li Chen knelt on the ground, raised his head and said, "Father, don't be angry with Concubine Wen."

When I heard it, my mind didn't turn around for a long time. When did I get angry with He Wenliu?I don't know it myself, and Li Chen is also a person who has nothing to do with himself, so why did he kneel down to me because of He Wenliu's matter?Li Chen continued to explain: "Liu Xiaozhu jumped into the lake because Concubine Wen was eager to protect her son. It's all because of Erchen's bad attitude. Erchen didn't take good care of Liu Huangdi at that time, so he accidentally bumped into Liu Xiaozhu. I am still young, I don’t understand anything, I only cry when it hurts, Concubine Wen always loves her children, this is why I punished Liu Xiaozhu, Father, don’t blame Concubine Wen.”

After I heard Li Chen's words, I finally realized it. Could it be that he felt that I was angry with He Wenliu because of Liu Sha's jumping into the lake?It’s no wonder that Li Chen interceded with He Wenliu. Li Chen was often invited by He Wenliu to have dinner and play with Dan’er when he was a child. He sent someone to greet Li Chen. Now that he felt that He Wenliu was in trouble, he naturally wanted to help.

I said, "Shen'er, stand up first."

Li Chen stood up obediently, and I continued: "I'm not angry with Concubine Wen, you think too much."

Li Chen looked at me in astonishment, and then smiled, as if a big stone had fallen from his heart. Li Chen's smile made my heart ache. He didn't know how intoxicating his smile was. In the last life, there were many young masters and ladies. , I tried my best to spend thousands of dollars to win him a smile, but Li Chen rarely smiled because he was stared at in the harem since he was a child. The only one who was stabbed to death was Li Chen, who bit his tongue and killed himself because he didn't want to be insulted by King Rui and his men.Although I'm not very close to Li Chen, he is my son after all. I don't want him to live such a melancholy life and die such a miserable death like in his last life.

I said: "Ji'er was crying in front of Concubine Wen on purpose to help you stand out." Li Chen's body trembled, he didn't dare to look up, so he stood there listening to me and said: "You are the eldest prince, With royal blood, I have never done you any harm, you have to live up to yourself, don't be so submissive, Ji'er can help you every time, understand?"

When I finished speaking, Li Chen raised his head and looked at me in surprise. He didn't expect that my father, who always ignored him, would care about him, "My son understands."

"It's good to understand, you go down."

After Li Chen left, I drove to Qingluan Palace. Li Chen would not just intercede for trivial matters. It seems that this matter is really serious.I haven't seen He Wenliu much recently, and coupled with the public opinion in the palace, the situation seems to be a bit unfavorable for him.This Liu Sha really has some tricks, so she used her punishment to push a beloved concubine to the forefront.

It was late at night when I arrived at Qingluan Hall, except for some palace guards, everyone else in Qingluan Hall had already gone to bed.When the night watchmen saw me, their expressions could not be described as worry or joy. It is of course a good thing for an ordinary emperor to come to see his master, but now He Wenliu is being discussed by everyone because of forcing people to jump into the lake, and I have not come for several days. I'm looking for him, so that the palace guards don't know the purpose of my coming tonight.I signaled them not to pass through, and went directly to He Wenliu's bedroom.

The light in the dormitory was very dark, and only a few small lanterns on the lampstand were shining. After I walked into the screen, I saw that He Wenliu had already fallen asleep. He was lying on his side with his arms beside his head, sleeping deeply.I didn't wake him up anymore, and I was already very tired, and there were too many things to deal with recently, so I hurriedly took off my dragon robe shirt, then lifted the brocade quilt, and lay down beside He Wenliu.

He Wenliu seemed to have sensed that there was someone beside him, but he just frowned, but he still didn't wake up. He rubbed against my arms, found the most comfortable position and continued to fall asleep. I put his exposed arm into the brocade Under the quilt, and then fell into a deep sleep, without a dream all night.

Until early in the morning, when I woke up at the usual time, Wanfu also brought the eunuchs who were dressing and washing me into the house.After I got up, I began to change clothes and wash up. He Wenliu was still asleep there. Seeing his sleeping face made me feel a little uncomfortable. I was so tired yesterday and went to Qingluan Hall to refute the rumors for him, but he slept so peacefully. ?

So when I was washing, I deliberately made some noises, Wanfu couldn't help laughing at the sidelines, I usually make very soft noises when changing clothes and washing, but this time I made such loud noises to wake up He Wenliu.

As expected, He Wenliu was woken up by the sound I deliberately made. He hadn't noticed the current situation for a long time, but sat up slowly, rubbed his blurred eyes, and said lazily: "Xinyue, today So early."

"I'm going to go to court early, isn't it still early?"

He Wenliu heard my voice, stopped rubbing his eyes with his little hands, then turned his little head and saw me, I just finished washing and stood beside his bed. "Your Majesty?" He Wenliu was really startled by my sudden appearance, "When did you come?" He Wenliu was about to get up and get out of bed as he said that, I pressed his shoulder so that he didn't have to get up. I always get up late in the morning, and he has to go back to the bed after I leave. Although it is September, it will still be a bit chilly early in the morning to prevent him from getting sick.I smiled and said, "I came here last night. I didn't expect you, Concubine Wen, to sleep so soundly. You didn't realize that I was by your side all night."

"That's why you didn't wake me up." He Wenliu muttered softly.But soon, he seemed to think of something again, and immediately asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, are you not angry with my humble minister?" He Wenliu is not a fool, he knows that Liu Sha jumped into the lake by himself. If I didn't come to see him, He Wenliu would feel that I was angry with him.

"Why does Concubine Wen ask that?" I understood what He Wenliu was worried about but pretended not to know it. I came to Qingluan Hall to look for him so late yesterday just to reassure him, so I said a little dotingly: "We husband and wife are so worried. Over the years, when did I get angry with you?" I was telling the truth, even if it was about Huang Kun back then, He Wenliu would only think that I was in a bad mood at that time, and when I was looking for someone to lose my temper, I happened to find him. At other times, not to mention being angry, I didn't even yell at him. I patted his little head and said with a smile: "You rest, don't think about what you have and what you don't have. I will come to see you later." Seeing that I was no different from usual, He Wenliu calmed down his anxiety, nodded obediently, and lay down on the bed again.

When I walked out of the dormitory door, the internal eunuchs who got up in the morning were surprised first, and then turned to greet me with joy. They were surprised because they didn't expect me to appear in Qingluan Hall, because of the rumors that were not good for He Wenliu The news spread so badly that they discovered that I, He Wenliu, had come out of He Wenliu's dormitory on a happy occasion, which meant that I went to sleep with He Wenliu last night, and I didn't blame him for Liu Sha's incident at all.

Especially Xiao Luzi, whose little eyes were so moved that he was about to cry, I smiled and said to him: "What's the matter? If I don't come here for a few days, will I forget me?"

Little Luzi quickly wiped his face and said, "Your Majesty, what are you talking about? This servant thought you were angry and forgot about Concubine Wen."

When Wanfu heard this, he immediately yelled at Xiaoluzi: "Damn slave! What are you talking about?!"

Little Lvzi also knew that he didn't seem qualified to say that just now, so he immediately smiled and said: "Your Majesty, don't mind, this servant is watching the Emperor come, and this servant is happy, and this servant knows that you are not like what you said outside "Little Lvzi was just a half-grown boy with no heart, he followed He Wenliu, devoted himself to the master, and said whatever he thought of, the more he said, the more outrageous he became.This Wanfu understands my temperament, and he is afraid that little green son will make me angry if he says the wrong thing, so he kicks little green son on the ass and curses: "You little bad hoof, please don't talk nonsense, you are still here!" Where did you say?!"

"Eunuch Wanfu, this slave is telling the truth." Little Lvzi rubbed her little butt, and argued, "It's been rumored that the emperor is going to put Concubine Wen in limbo, slave. Is it?" Xiaoluzi is different from Xinyue, she is not a high-level eunuch, but an ordinary eunuch, who often runs errands for others, and hears many rumors in the harem.

Will I throw He Wenliu into limbo?Can such rumors fly out?It's only been two or three days, how could you say it so seriously?I just didn't come to Qingluan Hall for a few days, and the rumor that He Wenliu was going to be thrown into the cold palace by me immediately spread. This is definitely not an ordinary rumor, someone must have deliberately spread it by taking advantage of Liu Sha's jumping into the lake.

My face suddenly turned ugly. When those newcomers first entered the palace, I made my statement that they can fight any way they want in the palace, as long as they don't fight on He Wenliu's head, they are too restless, right? !I said coldly, "Wanfu?"

Wanfu knew what I wanted to ask, and immediately knelt on the ground and said, "The news came from Chuxiu Palace."

It turned out that Wanfu knew about it a long time ago, so the anger in my heart was even greater. Since he found out about the rumor, why didn't he report it to me?No wonder Li Chen came to beg me last night.Wanfu understood my thoughts and explained: "The reason why I didn't report to the emperor is because I saw that the emperor was busy with things recently, so I delayed." Wanfu kowtowed to me a few times and continued: "And your majesty, you have already Staying in the Qingluan Palace, this kind of rumors will soon be self-defeating, so this slave thinks it is not a big deal."

What Wanfu said is correct, I came to find He Wenliu last night, this kind of rumor doesn't matter at all, the emperor's attitude is much more real than gossip.So in the next few days, I will either find He Wenliu to sleep with me, or call him to accompany me in the Imperial Study, anyway, I will meet him every day, and I will ask Wanfu to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to pick out some novel gadgets. Sending it to Li Ji and Yun'er shows how much love he has for his children as a father.In this way, the inner eunuchs all understand that Liu Sha, the so-called "No. [-] beauty in the capital" who can have the same title as Jia Wanru, can't catch my eyes at all. After such a big incident, I still dote on He Wenliu and don't care at all. The life and death of Liu Sha once again proved that the fight for favor is not just based on her face.

Just like that, the rumors of He Wenliu being left out in the cold disappeared overnight, and the young masters of Chuxiu Palace never imagined that I would let any Wenliu just bully a new master like this without asking, and still pamper him .If I do this, I will remind them, stop tossing about such small tricks, as long as my attitude is firm, there will be no trouble at all.

I thought the matter would be over like this, but Liu Sha was unwilling and planned to make trouble with the queen mother.
