Biography of Concubine Shujia

Chapter 117

The inner garden of the imperial palace, the racetrack.

"Sure enough, the seventh princess is here. When your father said so, I still didn't believe it."

"Hoo!" Jing Han reined in, "Who are you?"

"The little princess forgot about Wei Chen so quickly, Wei Chen is heartbroken."

Seventh Princess Jinghan frowned and looked at the visitor.

The man who spoke was about twenty years old, and looked at him with a pair of slender eyes with a smile, neither avoiding nor timid; looking closely, there seemed to be light hidden in the depths of his eyes, which was the kind of expression in the eyes of his father and brother. Light that will be emitted inadvertently.It can be seen that he tried his best to restrain the awe in his eyes when facing himself.

Only someone who came across asked with a smile, "I remember, did the princess like to race horses in Shanglinyuan in the past, why did she change to this racecourse?"

Jing Han understood a little in her heart, she just didn't speak, and continued to frown to see his next plan.

Seeing that the little princess didn't speak, Xin Yin just looked at himself, took a few steps forward, and reached out to touch the white horse she was riding.

The white horse had just come to a standstill from running, and was stopped suddenly. Yuan was a little restless and was kicking its hooves.Jinghan knew that her horse was very fierce, and when she was about to remind her, she saw that the usually fierce white horse was extremely docile under that man's hands.He even rubbed his head against that person's palm, like a child eager for praise.

"Hey, little guy!" He grabbed the pine nut candy and gave it to the white horse, and he succeeded in calming the white horse.Then he stretched out his hand and said to the little princess on the horse, "Give me the reins, be careful that your hand hurts, and you cry like you did when you were a child."

Jinghan saw the man stepping forward skillfully to help her lead the horse, so she let go and handed him the reins.When he took the reins, he bent down and said in a low voice, "Xin Yin, you are now going in and out of the harem at will, aren't you afraid that my father will blame you?"

"Call me cousin, girl Qi." Xin Yin patted the little princess's head, "You've been smart since you were a child, so you won't be able to see why the humble minister came here?"

Jinghan couldn't bear it anymore and stroked Xin Yin's hand, "Don't touch Bengong with the hand that has touched Zhuifeng."

Xin Yin raised his hand innocently and said, "Actually, I really forgot to change hands."

Jing Han stared at him, "Xiao-Xin-zi!"

"It was discovered, okay, okay, it's my cousin who is wrong, and my cousin will compensate you." Xin Yin laughed.

"You did it on purpose!" Jing Han felt that the top of her head was covered with chasing wind's saliva, and she felt a chill.Offending no one can offend the narrow-minded Xin Yin.But he just saw him suddenly, didn't recognize him, and touched his hair with the hand that touched the horse.Still, as always, pennies and pennies are counted, and we only pick people's pain points to start.

That's right, Jing Han is a bit of a clean freak, especially caring about her appearance and thorough cleanliness.When she was learning riding and archery at the age of five, she cried for a long time and was unwilling to learn because she felt that riding a horse would make her rude and less noble and tidy.

Concubine Shu was particularly persistent in this matter, allowing her daughter to cry, but still threw her on the horseback.Xin Yin personally taught her riding and archery.Xin Yin is a good teacher, but he is also a strict one. Princess Jinghan learned to ride a horse while crying.

After learning how to ride a horse, Jing Han understood her mother and concubine's good intentions.

Most of the daughters of the royal family cannot escape the fate of marriage.To be close to the northwest or southeast, you must have a healthy body to adapt to the harsh local environment.Princesses who marry far away from the royal family do not live long because the princesses in the deep palace are all delicate flowers raised in greenhouses and spoiled.Suddenly in an unsuitable environment, it will wither and die.

Jinghan grew up beside Concubine Shu when she was young, and she is used to seeing the struggles and strife in the deep palace.Ever since the eldest princess married far away, she had noticed that if Hedu was defeated, she would definitely marry the princess of Daliang again in order to protect herself and win a chance for the tribe.So these years, instead of learning embroidery from her mother and concubine, she worked hard on riding and shooting.

She was originally very intelligent, riding and shooting among all the princesses, she was top-notch.Gradually, no one competed with her anymore.She also thinks that her younger sisters are spoiled, so they don't often go to Shanglin Garden.

Naturally, she couldn't express these thoughts openly. Holding the whip in her hand, she said to Xin Yin who was helping her lead the horse, "Shanglin Garden is too beautiful, it's not as open as the racecourse, where you can run horses to your heart's content."

"You, you have always had a strong temper. But you need to know that sometimes you are used to doing some things, and others will take everything you do for granted. At that time, how will you deal with yourself?" Xin Yin thought of the emperor's choice Jing Han couldn't help but smile wryly because of the reason for her marriage.Jinghan was chosen by the emperor immediately because she was too good, and there was no room for reincarnation.

"Where did Xin Yin come from?" Jinghan looked at Xin Yin's back quietly, "My father sent you to be a lobbyist, right?"

Xin Yin's footsteps paused, and the horse also became quiet, "How does the princess know?"

Xin Yin naturally understood how smart the little princess he had grown up to be, but Jing Han was able to guess his reason for coming just after he came out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, which still surprised him.

Could it be that Concubine Shu arranged in the Hall of Mental Cultivation...

No, no, Concubine Shu is not those people who tried to plant eyeliner around the emperor.She was able to suppress the third prince when he was secretly established as the crown prince. She is a smart person and would not do such a dangerous thing, and she still used Anbu to fight against Anbu. This is a loss-making business.

Xin Yin was puzzled, and heard Jinghan's voice, "The envoy from the Kunsang Grassland must have come for the friendship between the two countries when he arrived at the station. The best way is to make peace!"

"Yao'er told you?" Xin Yin asked sharply.

The arrival of the Kunsang envoy at the station was only a recent event, something that the ministers of the court and China had just learned about, but this little girl was more able to predict the envoy's intention than they were.

Furthermore, Mu Yao passed on the news to the court, and if someone with a heart knew it, there would be trouble again.The harem has never been allowed to interfere in politics, Concubine Shu can freely enter and leave the Hall of Mental Cultivation, which caused a great disturbance in the court back then, otherwise Concubine Shu would not have been smeared by those people all these years.

Now Concubine Shu's daughter, the Seventh Princess, is far more sensitive to politics than others, and if they know about it, they don't have to spread rumors.

Concubine Shu is an imperial concubine, no matter how dissatisfied they are, there is nothing they can do about Concubine Shu.But Jinghan is different, Jinghan is still an unmarried princess, how important reputation is to an unmarried princess.

"Cousin!" Jing Han also realized that some of her words were too ostentatious.Although this racecourse is sparsely populated, if someone with a heart hears about it, there will still be a lot of trouble.

"It's not the third brother, the third brother will not tell me this." Jinghan whispered, "Dim sum shop."

These words are telling Xin Yin that Concubine Shu's dim sum shop in Yujing is the news from their intelligence network in Beijing.And this news was naturally told to her by her concubine mother.

"What did your concubine mother say?" Xin Yin turned around and stared at Jing Han with sharp eyes.

Concubine Shu once mentioned to him cryptically that she did not approve of the Seventh Princess marrying far away; but now she told Jinghan the news, Concubine Shu already knew the emperor's plan and made an irreversible compromise; Concubine Shu had other plans and needed him cooperation.

Jing Han shook her head, "Concubine Mu didn't make too many choices on this matter, she just said that everything depends on the fate of this palace."

Xin Yin understood at the moment that Concubine Shu might have to agree to this matter, but she does not need to intervene in her next plan for the time being.

"Cousin, since Jinghan called you cousin, she sincerely regards you as a relative. Jinghan can be regarded as you watched and grew up since she was a child, and you know Jinghan's temperament. Jinghan wants to tell you a few words Speak from the heart." Jinghan said softly but firmly, "Both mother and elder brother disagree with Jinghan's decision, but Jinghan is determined to do that."

"Your mother, concubine and elder brother are also for your own good." Xin Yin understood what this little girl meant, and she was willing to get married.Although her mother and concubine and brother did not agree with her decision.

"Cousin, listen, you continue to talk."

"Jinghan doesn't want to marry into the Yujing family. The days of fighting each other in the family and spending time in the inner house are not what I thought about, and I don't want to complain to my future husband. Jinghan wants to ask my mother Like a concubine, follow the man you love, and protect the prosperous world and the country and the world together."

"Han'er has made a decision?" Xin Yin asked again, "I have made a decision. I will regret it in the future. I can only taste the bitter fruit and bear the hardships by myself. Can it be done?"

"I can!" Jing Han said firmly.

"Well, it's your father's intention that I'm here today. The Northwest Kunsang was defeated, and the envoys in the station are afraid that they will ask the emperor to marry the princess in a few days. Your father has chosen you, are you willing?"

"I volunteered for the empire, for my own will and for the Kunsang grasslands in the northwest." Jinghan threw down the whip, dismounted and saluted.

"Get up." Xin Yin helped Jinghan up, "Your father is in your mother's palace, does the princess know what to do afterward?"

"Jinghan understands." Jinghan stared at her toes, what her father meant was for her to express her willingness to get married in front of her mother and concubine.

The concubine mother has always been cold to the imperial father. At this time, she can no longer conflict with the imperial father, and the imperial father is unwilling to argue with the imperial concubine mother. She is the opportunity for reconciliation.

"Since the princess understands, I wish the princess every success." Xin Yin cupped his hands, "The minister will leave."

"Cousin!" Jinghan looked at the back of Xin Yin who was going away, "Jinghan thank you for your understanding."

Xin Yin didn't look back, and waved his hands with his back to Jinghan, "Princess, don't worry, I won't let the princess suffer."

The future Dayan clan of the Kunsang Grassland, I hope you can really grow into someone like your mother and concubine, a woman who can stand beside Hedu, and bring good luck to Daliang and Kunsang.

Jinghan picked up the whip that she had thrown down, and stood in front of the horse, "Zuifeng, from now on it will be just the two of us. Let's go home."

Go home, there will never be a few more chances to go home.

From now on, Kunsang and Daliang are both my responsibilities. For the good relations between the two countries, what I have to pay is not only my own life, but also the inheritance of blood.

Under the setting sun, the girl's figure gradually elongated, blending into the shadows in the distance.

Yaohua Palace, sleeping hall.

"Jing'er, be obedient." Ten Niang said to the noisy sixth prince with a cold face.

The sixth prince was taken by his nurse to play in the imperial garden today, and when he came back, he asked his concubine to take him to find his father.

Ten Niang naturally refused, and the little prince made a fuss for a long time.

At this time, Shi Niang, who was annoyed by him, couldn't help being a little angry.

The little prince cried louder when he heard what his mother and concubine said, "Father and concubine don't like Jing'er, and mother and concubine don't like Jing'er either."

The sixth prince is still young, so naturally he doesn't understand the turmoil between his parents, but he understands that his father has been away from his mother and concubine for a long time, and he has not seen his father for a long time.

The emperor, who was about to come in outside the palace, stopped when he heard the words, and his heart was occupied by deep guilt.Children's words are often the most authentic and can best reflect the status quo.It is true that he has not come to Yaohua Palace for a long time, and now he is here because of Jinghan's marriage.

The emperor was about to speak to comfort the child, when he heard the voice of the ten mothers in the hall, "Jing'er is disobedient, both the emperor father and the concubine mother will dislike you."

"Jing'er is obedient, and Father doesn't like Jing'er either. Jing'er hasn't seen Father for a long time. The seventh and eighth brothers said that Father doesn't like his son, and he doesn't like Mother and Concubine anymore."

"Your father is busy with state affairs. You are obedient. After a while, your father will come to see you after he finishes his work."

The little prince said aggrievedly, "Father promised Jinger that as long as Jinger is obedient, he will come to see Jinger and give Jinger a gift. Now the father doesn't come, and he doesn't give gifts. Jinger just wants to ask the father. , why the promise to Jing'er doesn't count."

This is the second time Shi Niang has heard her son talk about this matter.The first time, in front of her eldest son, she didn't want to ask too many questions, but this time she planned to ask clearly.What exactly did the emperor promise him made him so obsessed with it.

"Good boy, come, tell Concubine Mother, what did you agree with your father?" Ten Niang asked.

"You can't say it, it won't work if you say it." The little prince looked nervous, "You can't tell others."

"Mother and concubine is your dearest person, why is mother and concubine someone else?" Shi Niang patted her youngest son's head, pretending to be sad, "Jing'er didn't even tell mother and concubine, mother and concubine is so sad."

"Mother and concubine, father said..." Before the little prince could finish speaking, he was interrupted by the emperor who came in.

"Jing'er, I heard you crying from afar, what's the matter?"

"See the emperor." Ten Niang put down her son and knelt down to salute.

"Concubine Shu, get up." The emperor waved to his son after sitting down, "Jing'er, come here, tell me what's going on today?"

"My son is joining Father." The sixth prince stepped forward to salute and threw himself into the emperor's arms. "Father hasn't had Yaohua Palace for a long time, and my son misses Father."

"Jing'er!" Seeing her son's behavior, Shi Niang stopped her with disapproval.

"Sit down, girl, it's okay. Jing'er is still young, so you don't need to be so strict with discipline." The emperor said to Shi Niang.

"Yes." Shi Niang sat down far away from the emperor, not saying a word.But she didn't think so in her heart. She had always been strict with the sixth prince because she placed too many expectations on him.The third prince came here in the same way when he was a child. The child of the royal family is pampered and spoiled.

"Father, when will you realize what you promised Jing'er?" the sixth prince asked in a low voice, tired of being in the emperor's arms.

"You are obedient, father always counts what he says. When there is good news, he will be the first to tell you." The emperor coaxed the sixth prince to go back to the side hall to play, "father has something to discuss with your mother and concubine. , you go back to the side hall with the nurse to play."

The little prince met his father, got the answer he had been thinking about all along, and was obediently taken away by the nanny.

There was no voice of the youngest son in the hall, but it was quite deserted for a while.

"Girl, come here." The emperor waved to Shi Niang, and was not surprised to see Shi Niang frowned unconsciously.

"When you had no children, you loved being by my side the most." The emperor said with emotion, "Now that you have a child, the child's mother will be separated from me instead."

When Shi Niang heard the words, she didn't argue, she got up and walked to the emperor, sat down, and asked respectfully, "The emperor is here today, what is your order?"

"These days, I have wronged you and the child." The emperor stretched out his hand to hold Shi Niang's hand, "I remember your kindness. The Du family, I will not treat you badly."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compassion." Shi Niang said softly, "Brother Yun died in battle, and the family members are a bit out of control. My third uncle did something wrong. I hope you, Your Majesty, will be tolerant of him for the sake of my concubines." .Third uncle, the concubine has already told my grandmother and uncle that they will watch over him."

"Girl still hates me in my heart." The emperor patted Shi Niang's hand, "You really should hate, and Du Xianyu should hate too. It's because I'm sorry for your Du family, and I can't give your family justice." The emperor thought of Xin Yin's news report, Sincere apologies to Ten Niang.

"Your majesty is the lord of the people, and your decision is unmistakable." Shi Niang said flatly, "It was my concubine's idea to force Brother Yun to go to the northwest. Third uncle should blame me."

"Have you been wronged in Du's mansion?" The emperor's eyes were full of inquiry and concern, but his words were harsh, "I heard that the girl knelt outside the Du's mansion for half an hour. Du's mansion lost its children and grandchildren, and my heart aches." It's unavoidable, but this act of making Mrs. Cong Yipin kneel down in the street is too much. It doesn't take the royal family seriously."

"The emperor forgives the sin, and the Du family has absolutely no intention of disrespect." Shi Niang knelt down and said, "First, the concubine is just a concubine of the second rank, and she is the least senior among the four concubines. She can't do anything with other sisters." I want to compare; the second is that the Du family refuses all visits. It is the concubine who voluntarily pleaded guilty to the family. I am the daughter of the Du family. Because of my decision, the third wife of the Du family was extinct. The ancestors and the ancestors should punish themselves. Third, the whole family of the Du family, in order to show their loyalty to the empire, the whole family knelt down to welcome the courtiers and concubines."

"Get up, it's just us husband and wife chatting for a while, why are you so polite like them?" The emperor personally helped Shi Niang up, "I never doubted your natal family's loyalty. I was afraid that they would remember Du Ziyun's death." On yourself."

"The concubine is fine, thank you for your concern."

"I don't know about you, girl. I hold back any grievances in my heart. I would rather bear it by myself than show weakness." The emperor patted Shi Niang's head, "It's hard for you, you are caught between me and the family."

"It's nothing, for the sake of the emperor, for the empire, what Concubine Hui can do, concubines can also do well." Ten Niang said softly.

"I know that girl has been wronged a lot for me and for the empire; sometimes, for various reasons, I can't be fair and want to wrong your mother and son. I remember what you did. When I was in Nanning What Gong once said still counts." The words that the emperor dropped made Shi Niang's heart tense.

Over the years, the emperor has used and suppressed her everywhere, even conniving at his new favorite to provoke him.She can bear all these, but she is unwilling and will not give in when it comes to family and children matters.

"The emperor used to pull the courtiers and concubines to talk in Nanluo back then. The ministers and concubines have a bad memory, how do I know which sentence it is?" It means that I have forgotten what happened back then, and I don't intend to think about it.Please don't involve us mother and son in any more incidents.

"I said, the best must be left to our son!" The emperor insisted, "Young girl's future wealth is limitless."

"Brother Six!" Shi Niang's heart turned cold, and instead she called out the address they used when they were in the best relationship, "If you really love Shi Niang and her son, don't talk about it, don't mention it. Yao'er This life is doomed to be unsatisfactory for ordinary princes; I don't want Jing'er to become their target. The concubine only wants the child to be safe."

"Yao'er was an accident that time, and Jing'er Zhen will personally teach her by her side. Girl, don't worry." The emperor insisted.

"Just tell me, how can you take back your life? For Jing'er, the concubine is willing to do anything." Shiniang gritted her teeth and said, playing Tai Chi with the emperor, you will never be able to screw him.

He gave you a high position and power, but it was just to make better use of you.He was loving and sweet with you one second, and sent you to hell in the next second. It is a person like him, this ruthless man named Mu Yunlan.

"The girl is a smart person, so I'll just say it straight." The emperor achieved his goal, so he didn't mention what he said before.

"Please!" Ten Niang lowered her head, not even having the energy to look at him again.In my heart, there is a long desolation and bitterness.

"Kunsang's envoy has already arrived at the station, so Hedu and Jingning will naturally fail. Daliang must continue to send the princess to make peace."

"The concubine will first wish that the married princess will help you guard the northwest, so that the two countries will benefit from each other and live in a friendly relationship." Shi Niang said dryly, "Speaking of which, Sister Ning's Xiaosi and Sister Hui Xiao Wu is the right age."

"Girl, listen to me, this time the candidates are not Xiao Si and Xiao Wu." The emperor put his arms around Shi Niang, as if he was afraid that she would be sad.

"Then congratulations to the sixth princess!" Ten Niang hurriedly interrupted the emperor's unfinished words, as if something terrible had appeared, and her face turned pale.

"The candidate is not Xiaoliu." The emperor seemed unable to bear to continue, "I chose..."

"do not want!"

"I!"

Two voices came to the emperor's ears at the same time, and the one behind it was the Seventh Princess Jinghan who finally caught up.

"Han'er, why do you remember that your mother and concubine are in the palace today? Your younger brother is in the side hall. If you want to see him, go to the side hall yourself. The mother and concubine will make you some snacks, and your brother hasn't eaten the concubine's mother for a long time." I made the dim sum by myself..." Ten Niang spoke incoherently, signaling her daughter to leave with her eyes.

Seeing the pleading in the eyes of her concubine mother, Jinghan dared not look at her concubine mother, but met his father's encouraging eyes, and said loudly, "Father, concubine mother, I just overheard your conversation , so I couldn't help but speak out. My son is willing to make peace with the Northwest, my son is willing to share the worries of the father, my son is willing to eliminate the disaster of war for the empire, and my son is willing to work hard for peace and mutual benefit between the two countries!"

"Jinghan, get out!" Ten Niang pushed the emperor away, stood up, and was about to push her daughter out, "You don't even know what you're talking about, get out!"

"Mother Concubine, Jinghan is very clear about what I'm talking about and what I'm doing. It's Mother Concubine who has always regarded Erchen's words as child's play. Today, in front of Father Emperor, Erchen is saying it again. As a princess, Erchen was born I can't escape the fate of being married. I don't feel bitter or sad. I want to live a different life and do my part for my father and Liang. I beg my father, mother and concubine to understand and make it happen. "

Jinghan's chest rose and fell, and she knelt down, "I beg mother and concubine to forgive me, and father and emperor to be fulfilled."

"Slap", a striking slap mark was left on Princess Seven's face.

"Concubine Shu!" The emperor pulled the furious Ten Niang, "Jinghan's life should be decided by herself, even if you are her mother and concubine, you have no right to comment. Let alone beating the royal princess."

"Okay, okay, okay!" Shi Niang said three good words in a row, "You, your father and daughter have colluded to deceive me. I really think I don't know what wishful thinking you are planning? Tell you, this is impossible!"

"Concubine Shu! I discussed with you because you are the mother and concubine of the child, and you have the right to know the choice of the child." The emperor said coldly, "Don't challenge my bottom line."

"Mother and concubine, please calm down. This matter has nothing to do with the father. It is the daughter who heard the news and begged to go away voluntarily." Jing Han said urgently, "If you two are angry because of the daughter, then the daughter has committed a serious crime."

"Okay, what a father-daughter relationship, Jinghan, if you don't go, right? If you don't go, I'll go!" Shi Niang shook off the emperor's hand, "You father and daughter are really good!"

"Jinghan, let's go back, there's my father!" The emperor tried hard, but just as Shi Niang was able to shake off her hand, the emperor grabbed her again.This time, the emperor used a lot of strength, and Shi Niang was dragged into his arms by the emperor.

"Let go!" Ten Niang struggled hard.

"Jinghan go back!" The emperor sternly said to his daughter, "I agree with your request."

"Daughter resigns." Jing Han stopped staring at the entangled parents, quickly saluted and left.

"Enough!" After a while, the emperor scolded, "Have you had enough trouble?"

"No no no no!" Ten Niang raised her head and shouted loudly, "You will bully me, you will bully my child, I hate you to death!"

"Be good, don't cry." The emperor wiped away the teardrops from the corners of Ten Niang's eyes with one hand, and kissed her, "Girl, be good, don't cry."

"I hate you!" Ten Niang lowered her head, staggered his kiss, gave up struggling, buried her head in the crest of his neck, and bit down hard on his neck artery.

"Hiss!" The emperor was in pain, but didn't make a sound, allowing her to bite him.Gradually, the strength on the neck decreased a lot, and the dampness in the neck became thicker and thicker.

The emperor stroked Shi Niang's hair, "Zhen, in this life, I am destined to be sorry for you. In the next life, we will be an ordinary couple, and I will definitely treat you twice as well!"

Shi Niang didn't speak, what answered him was the gradually tightening arms around his neck.

Everlasting hate is not as good as a stone, I can't forget last night when the moon was drunk in the flowers, and I hate that people are as long as a stone, I don't remember who made the oath at the beginning of the year.
