Brother Jia Sheshu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 68 Concubine Zhen's Sadness

Concubine Hui, in order to help her son get rid of the name of murdering his brother, couldn't wait to tell the story that the fifth prince was still alive, even the fact that the fifth prince was actually murdered by Concubine Zhen was also spread.

Although she was directly revoked her title by the sage on the grounds of disrespect in front of the palace and became Ye Bin because of this incident, but she can help her son wash away the name of killing brothers, not to mention just revoking her title, even if she is demoted to Zhaoyi , she was willing, and besides, no one in the palace laughed at the fact that she was revoked her title, but more people were talking about the fact that Concubine Zhen killed her parents and children.

No one thought that Concubine Zhen would be so heartless that she personally killed her own son. Everyone in the palace suddenly mentioned that Concubine Zhen's expression changed, and even Concubine Li Shu, who had always been on good terms with Concubine Zhen, stayed away from Concubine Zhen.

Concubine Zhen was very annoyed, guilty and angry at the same time, the porcelain in the Chuxiu Palace was changed batch after batch, and the queen specially pointed out that the porcelain in the Chuxiu Palace was too aggressive when she paid her respects.

The queen reprimanded: "Among the six palaces, the porcelain in Chuxiu Palace is the most severely damaged."

As she said that, she aimed her eyes at Concubine Zhen. Concubine Zhen blushed and got up quickly, her rare old face blushed, and said apologetically: "The servants in Chuxiu Palace are clumsy. After the concubines go back, they will teach the palace well. people."

There is an unwritten rule in this palace. Whenever a concubine throws porcelain to vent her anger, she always says that the maid and eunuch broke something accidentally. Send it off, and this matter will be over. In short, it is definitely not the master who made the mistake, it can only be someone else.

The queen didn't care about Concubine Zhen's throwing things at the palace people, she continued to reprimand Concubine Zhen, and said sharply: "Concubine Zhen! Now the Holy Majesty is saving money, Concubine Zhen, you are a concubine, and you are deeply favored by the Holy Majesty, so you should share your worries with the Holy Majesty." yes."

In the past, she just turned one eye and closed one eye, but this time Concubine Zhen has gone too far. In just ten days, she changed five sets of porcelain. The porcelain in this palace was not blown by strong winds. If it is replaced, there will be a shortage of concubines next to it.

"Sister Concubine Zhen is too kind to the palace people on weekdays." Ye Bin smiled kindly, "If my sister is not good at disciplining the palace people, why not let the Empress point out another group of palace people with good hands and feet to Chuxiu Palace. "

Naturally, the Empress and Concubine Zhen are not on the same page, and she would like to see how Concubine Zhen still dominates the Chuxiu Palace.

Ever since the incident with the Fifth Prince, Concubine Zhen and Concubine Ye have been in a relationship of immortality, but Concubine Ye really treated him as the eldest prince a few years ago, causing the Fifth Prince to fall into the Jinshui River and die. Being favored, but because of his old age and fading, he has not been favored for many years, so he has a lot of concessions to Concubine Zhen.

Now knowing that the Fifth Prince actually died at the hands of Concubine Zhen, not only did she lose her concubine position, but also caused her son to be rejected by the Holy Majesty over the years. New and old grudges added up, and Ye Bin's words were incongruous. You're welcome.

"Don't worry about Ye Bin's sister." Although Zhen Fei secretly gritted her teeth, she deliberately added the accent on the word Ye, mocking Ye Bin's loss of her title.

Unexpectedly, Concubine Ye didn't care at all, her expression was normal, and she said with a smile: "I also care about my sister."

Now that she did it, she has no regrets, and the Holy One just took off her title, which is much better than what she guessed before.

Concubine Zhen's eyes were slightly deep, but she still said gently on her face: "Sister, why don't you put more thought on the eldest prince, and the servants who serve the eldest princess should also be re-selected, I heard that the eldest princess has passed away again. A child? And a boy? It's really a pity."

The eldest concubine and the eldest prince have been married for many years, and the relationship between the husband and wife can be regarded as good, but the luck of having this child has been a little bit worse. Except for the two daughters under his knees, he has never been able to give birth to a son. Nian was even pregnant and lost her pregnancy, and she didn't know what her fate was.

And the eldest prince is determined not to let the concubine be born before the eldest son. Although there are concubines, concubines, and concubines in the mansion of the eldest prince over the years, none of them is pregnant. .

Ye Concubine's face darkened slightly, "I don't need to worry about this, Concubine Zhen." She smiled lightly, "However, I am a person who drank daughter-in-law tea, unlike my sister, if I want to drink daughter-in-law tea, I am afraid I have to wait for it to come. It's been a while."

Ye Pin didn't think so at all. She saw the Eldest Prince fighting with the Crown Prince for many years, and she also quite agreed with the Eldest Prince's idea of ​​wanting the eldest son first. Moreover, the Crown Prince has been married for several years, and his knees are still empty. , not even half a prostitute, compared with the two, Ye Pin didn't feel any better.

As for the third prince, that's his uselessness, so naturally it doesn't count.

What Ye Pin meant was to insinuate that the Fifth Prince did not recognize Concubine Zhen. Those in the palace did not know that the Fifth Prince made it clear that he would never recognize his mother because of Concubine Zhen's assassination, and the Holy Majesty agreed. From now on, whether the Fifth Prince will come back or not, it has nothing to do with Concubine Zhen.

Concubine Zhen's face was slightly pale, she did not say a word, she pursed her lips tightly, but her eyes were as cold as snakes, which made Concubine Ye a little uneasy.

"Okay." After all, Concubine Li Shu made good friends with Concubine Zhen, and couldn't bear to let her be squeezed out, so she said with a smile, "Try the rose shortcake newly made in the imperial dining room, it's really sweet, I'm afraid it won't lose to the rose in Jinjiang Building Steamed milk cake."

Although the palace is rich and honorable, but she has no children and is far away from her family, her life is lonely and boring, so she can only work hard on food, clothing and clothing.Among them, Concubine Li Shu's favorite is food. The food in the Central Plains is much more varied than their North Korean food.

The queen pursed her lips and chuckled, "This time, the imperial dining room has also put a lot of effort into it. The rose shortcake is mixed with fresh rose dew, and it is very fragrant, which is comparable to what can be found in restaurants outside."

Having said that, the two of them were also quite curious about the food in Jinjiang Tower. It is said that the Holy Majesty went to Mo Shidu's wedding banquet because he was curious about this rose steamed milk cake, and only then did he find out that the Fifth Prince was still alive. Son, this word has been spread a lot, not only the rose steamed milk cake in Jinjiang Building is sold out, even several concubines in the palace are curious about the taste of this rose steamed milk cake.

One of them is the empress, and the other is the most beloved concubine Li Shu. They should have everything they want, but they are born with no freedom. Not only do they not have the freedom to enter and leave the palace, they even have no freedom to eat outside food.

Even if she has a fourth prince under her knees, giving food as a gift is the most taboo in this palace, and the fourth prince is a well-behaved one, and it is even more impossible for them to eat some food. I'm afraid they will never taste the taste of this rose steamed milk cake in their lifetime.

The Empress and Concubine Li Shu ate here, talking abruptly for half an hour, Concubine Zhen fidgeted, and finally waited till the end of the greeting hour, when Concubine Zhen returned to the palace, she subconsciously grabbed the vase beside her and threw it down, It was Mother Zhen who was beside her and quickly hugged her hand.

Nanny Zhen said urgently: "Your Majesty! You can't fall any more. If you fall again, I'm afraid the House of Internal Affairs and the Empress Empress will be able to talk."

"She has already spoken!" Concubine Zhen said angrily, "I lost all face just now, and Concubine Ye wanted to change all the people in my palace."

"Your Majesty, please calm down! Your Majesty, please calm down!" Nanny Zhen hurriedly kowtowed and begged.

Since the matter of the fifth prince was found out, not only the porcelain in Chuxiu Palace has been changed batch after batch, but even the palace staff have been changed several batches. ──Chang Jing was dragged down to beat the board because she accidentally mentioned the fifth prince. Mother Zhen was terrified, and she became more and more careful with Concubine Zhen.

Concubine Zhen was annoyed and cursed: "Didn't you be told to be careful back then? How did he notice it?"

Madam Zhen must have been careless when administering the medicine, which made Xiao Wu aware of it.

Mother Zhen groaned secretly, she really didn't know what was going on?She knew that although the fifth prince seemed stupid at first glance, he was actually very sensitive. She was really careful when taking the medicine, and she really didn't know why the fifth prince noticed it.

Concubine Zhen severely scolded Nanny Zhen, still unwilling to reconcile, "No way! I can't just sit and wait! Xiao Wu has to change his words!"

What happened back then, even if the Holy Majesty wanted to investigate, he would not be able to find out. The only evidence besides Mother Zhen was Xiao Wu. The whole family of Mother Zhen was in her hands, so she dared not betray her , the only troublesome one is Xiao Wu.

As long as Xiao Wu changed his words, this matter would never have happened.

Concubine Zhen pondered slightly, and ordered: "Let my sister-in-law pass the sign into the palace, I have something to tell them."

It was inconvenient for her to go out of the palace, so she had to ask her brother to help find Xiao Wu and make him change his mind.

Although Concubine Zhen's family was driven back to Jinling due to Xiao Wu's incident, but after all, Mrs. Feng Sheng was there in the Zhen family. The Zhen family has moved to Beijing, but the position of Concubine Zhen's elder brother has been taken captive, and he is still wasting his time as a fifth-rank official.

"This..." Mother Zhen looked embarrassed, and said in a low voice: "I'm afraid the Eldest Master and Eldest Madam won't come..."

"How could you refuse!?" Concubine Zhen said angrily, "I'm their real sister? Without me, what would they be?"

Outsiders ridiculed that the Zhen family relied on women for support. Although it was a joke, it was also true. If it hadn't been for her mother to raise the Holy One, and then she entered the palace as a concubine, what is the Zhen family? Compared with the family.

Nanny Zhen said in a soft voice, "Master Yingren is very ill, and he can't get out of bed these days. I think he won't have time to enter the palace."

What happened to the fifth prince back then was not only broken by Wang Zisheng, the eldest son of the Wang family, but also Zhen Yingren, the eldest son of the Zhen family. He is not as flexible as before. Whenever there is a rainy day, he can't walk and can only lie on the bed and cry.

Zhen Yingren was the first child of the Zhen family, and the eldest son they loved and valued the most. How could a good child become a useless person, how could he not hate it?

It's just that I really thought it was a good thing done by the eldest prince before, and the resentment was directed at Concubine Hui and the eldest prince, but now I know that the culprit is Concubine Zhen. Concubine?

Concubine Zhen was taken aback, and asked subconsciously: "What about my mother? My mother doesn't care about me anymore?"

Nanny Zhen sighed: "The old lady is still in Jinling, so I can take care of the old man in the capital."

Besides, although the old lady loves her daughter, it's hard to say which is more important between her daughter and her grandson.

Concubine Zhen's heart sank, but thinking of the Ninth Prince gave her confidence again.

"No! I still have Xiao Jiu!" Concubine Zhen wiped away tears and said hastily: "Call the Ninth Prince back to me. I still have Xiao Jiu. As long as Xiao Jiu is here, I will not be considered a loser."

Yes, she still has Xiaojiu, the Holy Majesty is the most loyal, as long as she has a prince under her knees, the Holy Majesty will just cold her for a while, and in the end, he has to whitewash her peace.

When this matter was mentioned, Nanny Zhen became more and more embarrassed and stopped talking.

Concubine Zhen is so smart, she could tell when she saw Nanny Zhen's expression, she asked sharply, "Where is the Ninth Prince?"

Mother Zhen couldn't be questioned, but she finally said honestly: "The Ninth Prince was carried to Jingren Palace by the Holy Majesty."

Concubine Zhen's face paled in an instant, "What is your majesty's intention? Could it be... Li Shi, who doesn't lay eggs, wants to snatch my son?"

Mother Zhen sighed secretly, don't you understand why the Holy Majesty took away the Ninth Prince?Isn't it just that the empress was angry with the fifth prince.

However, Mother Zhen didn't dare to say it clearly, so she could only persuade her: "Your Majesty, don't worry, as Concubine Li Shu is the princess of North Korea, the Holy Majesty will never let her have a child, besides, the Majesty has not changed the Ninth Prince's jade plate, and the Empress is still the birth mother of the Ninth Prince." ah."

Concubine Zhen felt at ease, that's right, Concubine Li Shu is a princess from a foreign country, the Holy Majesty will never give the Ninth Prince to Concubine Li Shu, no matter what she does, she is just helping others to raise children for nothing, although she understands this truth, but thinking After the child was carried away, Concubine Zhen was still heartbroken, unable to recover for a while.

Finally, Concubine Zhen asked: "The Holy Spirit said when will the Ninth Prince be brought back?"

Seeing Nanny Zhen shaking her head, Concubine Zhen's face turned even paler.

Nanny Zhen hurriedly persuaded: "Mother, don't worry, the Ninth Prince will go to the study soon, and then he will move to the North Fifth Institute, and he won't be able to live in Jingren Palace for long."

"No!" Although Nanny Zhen persuaded her in this way, Concubine Zhen was still worried, "Bring a pen and paper, I have to ask my mother to help me speak."

As long as her mother speaks for her, she has nothing to fear.

The sensible little maid hurriedly brought the pen and paper, Concubine Zhen hurriedly wrote the letter, dried the ink, and hurriedly asked Madam Zhen to deliver the letter, but Nanny Zhen stepped back just as she stepped out.

"Your Majesty!" Mother Zhen wondered, "Where should this letter be delivered?"

They are palace servants, no matter what, they can only wander around the capital. In the past, Mr. Zhen could send letters to Jinling, but now Mr. Zhen and the empress have a falling out, who else can deliver the letter for the empress?

Concubine Zhen's face was pale and she fell to the ground. At this moment, she finally realized that it wasn't just Xiao Wu who she pushed out back then, but also her relatives.
