Biography of Concubine Shujia

Chapter 111

On the sixth day of the first lunar month in the 24th year of Xijia, the birthday of the Eighth Emperor, the Zhaoyang Hall was full of flowers.

Ten Niang sat at the lower head of the empress, and watched with a smile as the Eighth Empress thanked the mothers and concubines.The birthday of the Eighth Emperor's daughter is in the first month, and there are many banquets in the first month. The birthday of the Eighth Emperor's daughter happens every year, but it has never been a big one.

This time the queen proposed to celebrate the eighth princess's birthday in person.Ten Niang also took advantage of the situation, and the ten-year-old birthday should be a big event.

When her elder brother and sister were ten years old, they also held a birthday banquet in Zhaoyang Palace.As a mother and concubine, it's not easy to favor one another. The reason why she didn't mention it is because the relationship with the emperor has dropped sharply. Shi Niang is unwilling to touch the emperor's bad luck.

The queen is a person who knows how to deal with things, so she personally proposed her to celebrate Jingyue's birthday.The emperor still has to give the queen's face.

It was just that the tone in his heart was not going well. In just one month, Zhenxuan servants were promoted to the fourth rank, surpassing Xu Cairen, Gu Shuren, and Zhang servants who had been in the palace for many years, and became the fifth-rank empress Wanyi.

This Empress Wanyi's Jin Feng, if you want to talk about others, that's all. Zhang Shiren really has a complicated heart.Not even annoyed.

She was originally a show girl in the same class as Concubine Shu. After entering the palace, she was not favored for a long time. She finally followed the emperor's southern tour. Fortunately, she was pregnant, and because someone was oppressing her, she was not promoted to the throne.After giving birth to two daughters, she managed to reach Cong Wupin, and was suppressed by Concubine Shu in the middle.Now that someone younger than Concubine Shu appears and takes away Concubine Shu's favor, she can't wait to laugh at Concubine Shu for falling out of favor.But seeing Concubine Shu's increasingly majestic face, she couldn't smile at all.Even if Concubine Shu falls out of favor, she still has sons and status, which is much better than her own life.

In addition, the newly promoted Empress Wanyi began to take revenge on her, which made her miserable.The reason for all this is that she watched the newly promoted servant's behavior before, and secretly punished him.Zhenxuan imitated Concubine Shu, whom she had always hated, everywhere, but she couldn't see it, so she punished her a little.

Unexpectedly, this chosen servant who was once disdained by the whole palace, this chosen servant who was born as a court lady, managed to win the favor of the emperor by virtue of his voice and demeanor similar to Concubine Shu.The emperor broke the usual rules of the harem because of her, and was even promoted to the fourth rank, something that Concubine Shu and Concubine De never had before.

He was promoted quickly, and his grades surpassed his own. It was only natural for others to say a few words about himself.She can only bear with Zhang Zhang's servant.

Fortunately, after Zhen selected Jin as Wanyi, the emperor did not promote her again.Not being in Jinfeng is not because she has lost her limelight, but because the emperor changed the place to favor her. The emperor often lingers in the east side hall of Yihua Palace.Even the Ninth Prince who was born with her followed the water, and even the adoptive mother of the Ninth Prince, Miao Shunhua, came into people's attention again.

No, Miao Shunhua was also surrounded by many low-ranking concubines, which made this Empress Shunhua very embarrassed.

When the second princess came in with her son in her arms, she immediately saw the concubine mother surrounded by everyone. She suppressed the anger in her heart and respectfully brought her son to greet the queen and concubine Shu.

"My daughter pays her respects to the empress and all the concubines." The second princess turned to her son and said, "How did Auntie teach you at home?"

"Grandson pays respects to the elder mothers." The young son of the Xiao family said crisply, "I wish the elder mothers a long and healthy life."

"Good boy, get up quickly and come to the eldest mother." The queen stretched out her hand to signal the second princess to pick up the child.

The second princess came to the queen with her son in her arms and handed the child to the queen.

Concubine Shu, who was under the empress's head, couldn't be rude, and the second princess smiled sideways at Ten Niang, "Mother Concubine Shu seems to have lost a lot of weight, is it because the eighth younger sister is too naughty?"

As soon as these words came out, the empress gave a slap in the face, this girl was blaming Concubine Shu for arranging Zhen Wanyi in the palace of her concubine Miao Shunhua.So much so that this chaos broke the peaceful life of his mother and concubine.

"I haven't slept well these days. As soon as I close my eyes, I seem to see your brother killing the enemy on the battlefield." Ten Niang glanced at Miao Shunhua who was surrounded, and replied lukewarmly, "My son travels thousands of miles. The mother is worried, and the mother is always worried about her children, but sometimes the children don't understand the painstaking efforts of being a mother."

The second princess turned pale when Shi Niang said this.She thought of how this Concubine Shu had done a lot to make her successfully marry into Xiao's family and not to marry.

For her own sake, her own mother and concubine made good friends with Concubine Shu, which gave her the opportunity not to make a kiss.Their mother and daughter owe Concubine Shu a favor in this matter, so no matter what Concubine Shu does, they cannot blame her.

And this Concubine Shu also made it clear in her words that the palace of your mother and concubine is no longer peaceful, but she did not refuse the matter of raising an imperial heir.After Zhen Wanyi was promoted to the fifth rank, she did not send the Ninth Prince back to his own mother and concubine.

Your mother and concubine once again became the focus of attention, for whom?It's just for you to have a good life in the Xiao family, and for your confidence.It's not too late to see your situation clearly about venting anger or something.

"It's been a long time since you came in to pay your respects. Let's take advantage of your sister's birthday today. After celebrating her, let's stay overnight so that I can talk to your mother and concubine." The queen saw that the second princess' complexion turned pale. , Open your mouth to help.

"What the empress said is that the princess hasn't come to the palace to pay her respects for a long time. Even the eighth girl said that she hasn't seen her second sister for a long time. Today, I will play with your sisters. Your son is brought by the empress. Go Let's go." Shi Niang said with a smile, as if none of the previous maneuvers had happened.

"In that case, I will trouble the Empress and Concubine Shu to help my daughter take care of her son. My daughter is going to toast the eighth younger sister." The second princess smiled as before, got up and went to the princess.

As soon as the second princess left, the queen gave the young master of the Xiao family to Nanny Hu behind her, "Mommy take him well, I will talk to Concubine Shu."

Nanny Hu took the young master of the Xiao family to have some snacks.

The queen looked at Nanny Hu coaxing the child, looked away, picked up a cup of sake, and said to Ten Niang beside her, "Thank you for your tolerance. The second princess is ignorant, so I will give her mother and concubine a surprise drink for her." .”

"Your Majesty, there's no need to be like this. Princess Jingning's words are true. This child can be regarded as I watched her grow up. She can say whatever is in her heart, but it is much more real than those who secretly dislike me. It's okay. It's been so many years, if you can't even hold on to this, it will be a joke."

"My sister has been arguing with him like this?" After hearing this, the queen stopped insisting on the matter of the second princess, and asked about Shi Niang's plan.

"It's not making trouble, it's just that it doesn't matter." Shi Niang shook her hand holding the wine cup, "He has forced people to this point, and still wants me to bow my head first?"

"He's the emperor, think about it." The queen shook Shi Niang's unsteady hand, "He has you in his heart."

"What he pretends to be the most is the empire. For the empire, first comes the son, then the family, and the next step is myself." Shi Niang laughed at herself.

"Sister!" The queen didn't know how to persuade this seemingly clever but stubborn woman.

"Let's not talk about that, I have to drink the wine that your mother toasted." Ten Niang raised the wine glass and drank the wine in the glass.

The bamboo in Zhaoyang Hall was in chaos, and the emperor still did not come after all.

Hall of Mental Cultivation, East Nuan Pavilion.

"Speak up, tell me everything you know." The emperor looked coldly at Bingchen who was kneeling on the ground.

"Zhen Wanyi was inserted into Pingchonghua Palace by Master Jia Zian, and it was also Master Jia who arranged for someone to secretly train her." Bing Chen broke out in a cold sweat under the emperor's low pressure.

I kept complaining in my heart, what's the matter, no one thinks that they are favored too much, and they have cultivated people who are similar to themselves to fight against them.

"Go on, does Miao Shunhua know about it?"

"Empress Shunhua didn't know about it, but Master Jia sent someone to deliver a letter to Shunhua, saying that he hoped that Shunhua would raise the Ninth Prince. Don't let Zhen Wanyi meddle in the issue of the emperor's heir."

"She is accurate at every step." The emperor changed the subject, "You asked for the contact information of Fengyang City from her, but there is news."

"Miss Hei is very cautious. Since she knew that our people took over, she no longer spread the news easily." Bing Chen continued to complain in his heart.

This is because people don't trust you, the emperor, who made you abandon your master all the time.

"What about Du Xianyu?" The emperor continued to ask. It has been many years since Du Xianyu returned to Beijing from Nanluo, but the forces of the Du family along the Nanluo route are still alive and well.And in terms of information scouting, it is often more advantageous than the hidden guards.

"Lord Du said that Fengyang is under martial law, and the news is not easy to pass on. The news will naturally come back when Du Zicheng goes." As soon as Bing Chen finished speaking, the emperor had already dropped the teacup by the table to the ground.

"Presumptuous!" The emperor's anger rose, "The Du family, Concubine Shu. This is forcing me to submit."

Bingchen stood in the dark without saying a word.

"What's going on with Xin Yin, the news has been suppressed?" Thinking of the news that caused him a headache, the emperor could only hold back his anger and continue to ask.

"The fourth prince was brought back by Xin Yin. He was well protected and he was fine. But the third prince, because of this incident, was so emotional that he almost triggered the poison in his body." Bing Chen thought of Xin Yin's tragic situation. , could not help but sigh.

"The sixth young master of the Du family?" The emperor basically gave up hope.

"Du Ziyun, I haven't found it yet. Xin Yin suppressed the news, and personally led people to search for it on the grassland, but found nothing. He didn't dare to send a message secretly to Master Jia."

"It's a day to be able to hide it. Concubine Shu, shut up and never tell me. Du Xianyu, keep him safe." The emperor felt a little guilty for a while when he thought of the man who was known as the silver fox back then.

What he and Concubine Shubao had promised him back then broke their promise again.In order for Concubine Shu not to be blamed by her family, he could only keep her cold, hoping that she would have a chance of survival.

"Sooner or later, we can't hide it. Master, it's better to make plans early." Bing Chen reminded softly.

"Northwest, Du Ziyun is too important. Now is not the time to tell Concubine Shu hastily that there will be more changes in this game. If you keep it from her, you can turn the tables at critical moments, or you will lose everything."

"Sir Du, shouldn't you be more worried?" Bing Chen was puzzled.

"Du Xianyu, he is not the kind of person who uses his emotions. He will wait for the opportunity to seek greater benefits for the Du family. His son's matter will only make him temporarily depressed, but this man is destined not to be hurt. .”

"Du Ziyun's family members must have been taken care of." The emperor thought for a while before handing it over.

"This subordinate understands." Bing Chen replied.

"Go and do your work. Tell Xiao Luzi to call Wang Chaosheng to see me."

"Subordinates retire."

At this time, Du Ziyun, who was worried by the emperor, opened his eyes in a strange place.

This is the most common yurt on the grassland, and the first thing you see is the navy blue curtain.

"Are you awake?" The girl looked at him with concern, "My father said, you won't be so useless, you will definitely wake up. It really is."

Du Ziyun turned his head and saw the young girl surrounded by him. The young girl was dressed in a different race, with two braids hanging down to her ankles.

Du Ziyun's eyes were blank, and it took a while before he came back to his senses vaguely.

"Where is this?" There seemed to be something flashing in his mind, and there was a burst of pain. He endured the headache and asked the girl suspiciously, "Who are you?"

"I'm Yadana." The girl stood up and was about to walk away when Du Ziyun grabbed her. She looked back at his hand and had no choice but to explain, "You just woke up, and I'll get you some water to drink."

"Yadana? Then who am I?"
