Biography of Concubine Shujia

Chapter 133

Yaohua Palace, sleeping hall.

"Master, over there, what are you going to do?" Ruo Min pointed in the direction of the Empress Dowager's residence, Yongshou Palace, "It is said that she has been back for such a long time, so you should go to pay her respects anyway. Besides, the emperor sent a message to come back Now, before the emperor comes back, you have to keep singing even if you are acting."

"Let me say hello to my enemy? Heh, Mrs. Xiao! I can't wait to kill my enemy!" Ten Niang shattered the teacup on the table with her palm.
"The Xiao family's hand is too long, and it deserves to be chopped off. Ruo Min, you don't know how happy I was when I found out that the emperor ordered to kill the Xiao family in the palace. It's a pity that the old woman died. No."

"Master, be careful." Ruo Min hastily interrupted Shi Niang, the Yaohua Palace is safe, so you can't talk nonsense.After all, the one from Yongshou Palace is the current aunt.Today, it is also thanks to that woman that he successfully ascended to the throne of God.Only this point, if my master wants to touch that woman, he won't be able to.

"Those who have harmed Yao'er, Empress Dowager Xiao, Eldest Princess, Li family, Liu family, and Nalan family, I have plenty of time. One day, I will ask you to pay the price you deserve." Ten Niang said to Ruo Min With a weary smile, "Back then, when I knew that Yao'er was murdered, I swore that I would avenge the child. For seven years, I have been holding back for seven years, planning for seven years, but there is still no way to get rid of those people. Completely obliterated."

"Master, the Xiao family has been punished. Even if the queen mother and the eldest princess are protected by the emperor, they will be imprisoned for the rest of their lives for the heinous crimes they committed. The Liu family and the Nalan family are already in decline, and it is only a matter of time before they are uprooted." The Daliu family and the little Nalan family died at your hands. You should let go of the hatred of the third prince. You still have the third prince, the eighth princess, and the sixth prince. The little prince in my belly also hopes that you can let it go. You relax Heart, take good care of the fetus."

Ruo Min persuaded, the original owner of this child is not young, she worked hard during the pregnancy, and now she is still worrying about the past, fearing that it will be bad for her body.

"Confinement for a lifetime, huh, it's too cheap for the two of Yongshou. The old one has nothing to rely on, and the young one may not give up. Just wait and see, let our people keep an eye on Yongshou Palace for me. If there are any clues, You must report back immediately." Ten Niang calmed down, "The emperor is coming back soon, please organize a copy of the evidence we found and send it to the Hall of Mental Cultivation."

"Madam De Zhuang, what does the master plan to do?" Ruo Min asked worriedly.Back then, the third prince fell off his horse by accident, and the master had been dormant for so many years and had been secretly investigating.After so many years, the spearhead has been pointed at the Liu family and the Nalan family, so the master has repeatedly suppressed the high-ranking concubines of those two families.He even took the opportunity to kill Liu Shi and Xiao Nalan Shi.Once the two died, the master continued to investigate and found the traces of those who secretly promoted them.As for Mrs. Li Shi of Dezhuang, the master may not be able to move now.

The queen did not return after leaving the palace for a long time, Mrs. Huimin and Mrs. Duanxian had no children, and only Mrs. Dezhuang could compete with the master in the inner palace.For the peace of the harem, the emperor will not easily punish Mrs. De Zhuang for the sake of check and balance.Moreover, the second prince was still fighting on the front line, and he didn't punish his mother and concubine, which was heartbreaking.

"Isn't Mrs. Li always pinching sharp points? It's no fun for me to suppress her so easily. I want her to be suppressed by me for the rest of my life. When I give birth, the emperor will definitely promote me to be a noble concubine. After Fengcheng is recovered, the Li family will also be promoted to the imperial concubine. After that, we will each rely on our own abilities. Let's see who can laugh at the end. I am relieved of the Du family. I will wait and see how the emperor chooses between the Du family and the Li family. .”

Shi Niang smiled nonchalantly, "Let her be arrogant for a while longer. I can always take care of her."

"Master, it's good to know." Ruo Min turned to talk about the trivial matters in the palace, "Madam Chen Jialiu handed over the sign and wants to come to see you."

"These days, the palace is chaotic, and I didn't pay attention to my eighth cousin. When I have some free time, let her come in to chat with me. Speaking of which, we haven't seen each other for more than ten years."

"You didn't like to summon your natal family before, so many wives dared not disturb you." Ruo Min replied, "The wives of the Chen family are all related to you."

"The eighth cousin married the sixth cousin of the Chen family. The eighth sister also married into the Chen family. These two wrong people have been sisters-in-law for so many years in a blink of an eye. Let's announce it together some other day."

"Write it down, servant girl." Seeing that Shi Niang was no longer in a gloomy mood, Ruomin advised, "If you really don't want to go over there, please ask Mrs. Huimin to accompany you for a formality."

"Understood. It's getting more and more wordy." Shi Niang glared at Ruomin, "Send someone to ask Sister Hui, if you are free tomorrow, I will accompany Ben Gong to see the Queen Mother."

"My maidservant, let Si Jin go to Chengqian Palace to pass on the message." Ruo Min replied hastily.

"Wait, I suddenly thought of something, and I want to ask you a few words. Are there any little maids who are uneasy in Prince Yao'er's residence? If there are, I will send them to me as soon as possible. In the spring draft, I plan to ask the emperor to give him instructions. Marriage, before the new daughter-in-law enters the door, you should pay more attention to his side."

"Your servant understands. Don't worry, Prince Yao has a sense of proportion. But you, which girl are you looking to match Prince Yao with?"

"I don't plan to find a family daughter for him. Yao'er is the eldest son, just find a gentle girl who can help take care of his younger siblings. Let's take a look at the spring draft. He is not the second prince, and he has to rely on marriage to expand In terms of power, there is a high chance that the emperor will let us decide for ourselves. When the time comes, we will slowly pick out a few and take a closer look."

"Prince Yao, do you want to vote for him? You can't pick up the villain and sow the relationship between you and the prince behind your back."

"That child, it's crazy now. When I was pregnant with Jing'er, Li Shi's calculations almost made me suffer a lot. After Yao'er went through that incident, she didn't like the bad-mouthed people around her. Even if they provoked her, she would not Be careful with my son's calculations and go back. Concubine De was the first to be conferred the title of wife, but look, she was degraded and slapped in the face by being bitten by Yao'er. To move my son, there must be some means, right? ...However, you have to ask the child what kind of girl he wants to find, after all, she is the one who will spend his whole life with him."

"That's the reason. Prince Yao is here today, so you can ask him. See what he likes. You are choosing carefully, and keeping Prince Yao to his satisfaction." Ruo Min laughed before she finished speaking. "My servant still remembers that he and the Seventh Princess were only this old when they were born. In the blink of an eye, it's time to marry a wife."

"Miss Xiao Qi?" Shi Niang patted Ruo Min's hand, "Yao'er is busy going to the court some days, and he came to pay his respects in a hurry, and he didn't have time to talk to us. The big event of the previous court is over, so treat him Today is here, you come to serve, just ask about Xiaoqi."

"Thank you, Master, for your understanding." Ruo Min withdrew her hand uncomfortably, "I will first order Si Jin to pass on the message to Chengqian Palace. Would you like to go for a while, when Prince Yao comes and is calling for you?"

"Go and do your work, let Huaping go to Chengqian Palace. Si Jin stays to serve the palace. When Yao'er comes later, try to turn Huaping away so that she doesn't come closer." Ten Niang thought of accidentally seeing Huaping is so gracious to her son, she thinks it's better to plan ahead.

"The servant will pay attention to that girl. Speaking of which, she and Si Jin are about to leave the palace." Ruo Min mentioned it inadvertently.

"Si Jin and the others, before leaving the palace in the coming year, I will bring the people below, and you will also help me out. They are much worse than you following into the painting."

"Don't worry, this servant will teach the little girl well." Ruo Min saw that Shi Niang was ordering nothing, "The servant has gone out to order them to do something."

"You go and get busy, let Si Jin come over to wait on Ben Gong and go out for a walk, my back is sore these days." Seeing that Ruo Min still wanted to nag, he hurriedly remedied,
"I'll go to the Imperial Garden for a walk, and I'll bring Xin Si with me, enough manpower."

"The servant has retired, you must bring enough people." Ruo Min went down to work without mentioning it.

When Shi Niang came back from a walk with someone, Yaohua Palace was already preparing dinner.

"Master, how's it going for a walk in the imperial garden?" Ruo Min stepped forward to help Shiniang sit down, and Si Jin hurriedly brought tea for Shiniang to moisten her mouth.After walking for a while, the master should add some water.

"It's autumn now, there's nothing to see in the Imperial Garden, it's just that I've been stuffy in the house for a long time, and it's bright and bright when I go out. See if you're nervous, I know my body clearly."

"If you hadn't worked so hard the past few days, the imperial doctor would let you rest?" Despite Ruo Min's words, she beat Shi Niang's legs leisurely with her hands.

"Get up, let them do these things." Shi Niang took Ruomin with her hands, "I know you love me, and I really have nothing to do, so I get up and help in the small kitchen. The steamed pork mince you made is Xiaoliu's favorite. "

"The servant girl has just stewed minced meat in the kitchen, and Huaping is helping to watch the fire in the kitchen." Ruo Min replied.

"Girl, this servant is here to serve Madam." The little girl hurried up to replace Ruo Min, and knelt on the ground to help Shi Niang beat her leg.

"I didn't see Xiaoliu making a fuss today." Shi Niang waved at Ruomin, "What is Ba Yatou doing in the side hall these days, and I don't see her much."

"The sixth prince's favorite person is here, of course I can't care about making trouble for you." Ruo Min pursed her lips and smiled, "Prince Yao is pestered by the sixth prince to teach you how to write this time. The eighth princess is running to Shanglinyuan these days , play with the two horse races of the little princess."

"Jingshan has lived in the palace for a while, and the sixth sister is in charge of the important people in the palace. Before the emperor comes back, she must be sent back."

Nanjiang is not far from Fengyang and Nanluo. Once Fengyang is accepted, Nanjiang will either fight or marry.Jinghan has already married the Northwest, so Jingyue will not be selected to marry again.The remaining princesses are either too young, or they are ineffective, or the mother and concubine are reluctant, so the emperor will not let them go.Then, the princess of the eighth princess is the most suitable candidate.

It doesn't matter whether the emperor is playing with his niece or not, and he can't play with Jingshan in his own palace.Otherwise, Ba Wang and Liu Niang will have a gap with themselves.The closer you are, the more you have to pay attention to the proportion when getting along.

"That's the reason, no matter how nice it is in the palace, it's better to be at home with your parents. The little princess will understand." Ruo Min understood, and whispered to Shi Niang.

"Send someone to find Jingyue and Jingshan, let's go and see that brother." Shi Niang put her hand on Ruomin's and was about to get up.

"Mother and concubine don't bother, the son brought his younger brother to pay respects to mother and concubine." Liang Jun Wang, also known as the third prince in the inner palace, Mu Yao took the little hand of his sixth brother and entered the palace.

Liangjun Wang Muyao was wearing a golden court robe, which made his slender body look even taller. The collar and clothes were covered with sable, and the sleeves were sable.The front and back of the embroidered text are one dragon each, and the folds are six dragons, with five-color clouds in between.The giant dragon with its chest flying clouds and fog is overlooking the world with its fangs and claws, but the nobles dare not approach easily.

His jet-black hair was neatly combed in a bun on the top of his head, and was wrapped in an exquisite white jade hair crown. From both sides of the jade crown hung light green silk crown belts, and tied a flower knot on his lower forehead.A pair of apricot-core eyes like Mrs. Shujia's, with a smile, said to the concubine,
"Is little brother good today?"

"Xiao Liu behaved today." Without waiting for Shi Niang to answer, the sixth prince was dissatisfied with the third prince's neglect of him, and hurriedly shook his brother's hand to act like a spoiled child.

"Brother, brother, Jing'er is very good today, and he has written several big characters. The mother and concubine praised Jing'er for being good."

"Mother Concubine, Xiao Liu is jealous?" Mu Yao patted his sixth younger brother Mu Jing's head amusedly, "Today he can sit still and write a few big characters."

"What does he know? He just came back from the palace a few days ago. The palace is busy, and it was your virtuous mother and concubine who helped take him all the time."

"Mother and concubine is busy, Jing'er is good. Jing'er knows that mother and concubine has a younger brother in her belly. The father promised to Jing'er, and the younger brother belongs to Jing'er." The sixth prince broke free from his brother's hand and stepped forward to stand on tiptoe. He raised his feet and touched Shi Niang's belly.He frightened the little girl who was kneeling and waiting on the side, and hurriedly got out of the way so that the sixth prince could get close to his wife.

Seeing the little girl's actions, Shi Niang thought to herself that this is someone who knows how to read her words.Facing the bright eyes of the younger son, he asked with a smile,

"What did Jing'er say?"

"My younger brother is a gift from my father to Jing'er, stuffed into my mother's stomach. My father has promised Jing'er long ago. My father has been so slow. Jing'er has been waiting for this gift." Six The promise and gift that the prince has been thinking about are announced.

But Shi Niang didn't want her to reveal it at all. It would be embarrassing to discuss this issue with her son in front of the palace full of people.Shi Niang gritted her teeth with hatred for her youngest son's outspokenness, and she got a better understanding of the emperor's shamelessness.

"Cough." Liangjun Wang put his hand to his mouth, concealed his smile, and changed the subject, "Aniang, I read my younger brother's handwriting today, and it is somewhat similar to the father. You usually describe the father to him. the word?"

"It's the father who taught Jing'er to write again in the palace. Brother, does Jing'er's handwriting look good? Father said it was better than my brother's handwriting when he was a child. But Jing'er thinks it is not as good as my brother's handwriting. Brother, you can still teach me tomorrow." Does Jing'er write?" Hearing his brother's words, the sixth prince shifted his attention from his concubine mother's belly to his brother, walked a few steps forward, and continued to shake his brother's sleeve.

"Jing'er!" Shi Niang stopped, "Your third brother has to go to court tomorrow, and he is still busy with other things. Be good yourself, and your father will be back in a few days."

"I want my third brother to teach me how to write. When my father teaches Jing'er to write, he always criticizes the papers by himself and ignores Jing'er. I want my third brother!" The sixth prince despised his father and continued to shake his brother.

"Jinger is good, third brother was taught by his concubine mother to write when he was a child. It's rare that your father is willing to teach you to learn how to write from your father. After you practice your handwriting, third brother will teach you how to ride a horse later." Mu Yao looked at his mother and concubine Shaking his head disapprovingly, he hurriedly coaxed the sixth prince to obey.

"Then, Jing'er will learn to write from my father, and the third brother will teach me how to ride a horse. It's agreed." The sixth prince stretched out his hand, "Pull the hook, I can't go back on my word."

"Okay, I don't regret it." Mu Yao stretched out his hand to touch his younger brother's tiny fingers.

This is his younger brother who is connected by blood, the younger brother who relies on his elder brother wholeheartedly, the younger brother who he and his mother and concubine have all chips and hopes.For his younger brother, he must also be stronger.Only when he is strong can he better protect his mother, concubine and younger siblings, and there will be no more sacrifices like the seventh sister marrying far away.

"Yo, Jing'er is pestering third brother again!" Jingyue jumped up and down to Mu Jing's side, and pinched the flesh on her younger brother's round face, "You're so big and still clinging to elder brother, aren't you ashamed? "

"Aniang, eighth sister bullied Jing'er." Mu Jing waved his sister's hand away and complained aggrievedly.

"Mother and concubine, Jingshan was taken away by Uncle Eight just now. She dragged me before leaving, so I delayed. I was almost starving to death." Jingyue didn't care about her younger brother's complaint, Anyway, her mother has always spoiled her daughter.She teased Mu Jing, at most she said a few words.

"Okay, this is a big man, it doesn't matter how serious you are. Your brother's face is red from being pinched by you. Take your brother to wash your face and hands. Your third brother and I will wait for your two dirty cats to come back for dinner. "He scolded, but his heart was relieved. The Eighth Prince acted quickly, which saved her from worrying about Jingshan.

"Let's go, Jing'er. Sometimes you will fall into the hands of my sister." Jingyue came to her brother with a strange smile.

"Eighth Sister is bad, Jing'er will go by herself, I won't play with you." The Sixth Prince waved his little hand ambitiously and refused to sign for his sister.

"Oh, boys are still so stingy. The big deal is that eighth sister will apologize to you, let's go, eighth sister will wash your face. Today I go to Shanglinyuan to ride a horse. I heard from the master that there is a mare that is about to give birth. I will buy it for you. I want a pony. I don’t know if Jing’er wants it or not?”

"Okay then, I forgive you for the sake of my sister asking for a pony for me. Let's go, mother concubine and brother are still waiting for us." The sixth prince took the hand of the eighth emperor sister and was led by the girl to freshen up.

After the two little ones left, Shi Niang assigned Si Jin to help arrange the dishes.

Mu Yao walked a few steps, approached Shi Niang, and said in a low voice, "Father will be back soon, and mother and concubine remember to be soft, don't fight hard with father because of your son. Nine uncles have sent a message that Nine aunts are safe, don't worry. Yes, if the son's guess is correct, the emperor will send his son to Nanluo to take over the power of the thirteen counties of Nanluo. As for the third grandfather, the mother and concubine have already made plans."

"After you get to the south, first go to your Uncle Jiu privately, he will help you." Shi Niang had already expected the emperor's plan.The best direction for this matter, "In front of your father, don't agree too easily. If you take it back too easily, your father will be paranoid."

"My son understands. Also, the concubine mother wants to find out what happened in the palace before the emperor returns to Beijing. The son's people have discovered the whereabouts of the empress mother."

"Ning's side, your Concubine Hui is interrogating. Ming'er Concubine Hui and your Concubine Hui will go to the Empress Dowager's Palace to ask your elder sister something."

"Mother and concubine can't, you are pregnant with your younger brother, don't get close to Mu Jingqing!" Mu Yao's voice was very cold, "My son went to Kunsang this time, and he found out one thing. The death of my sixth uncle back then was my elder sister's intention For this reason. She is already crazy, you can’t take risks. If you really want to ask, just ask my good grandmother. She should know my good eldest sister’s crazy behavior and what happened back then.”

"Don't worry, the concubine mother has a sense of proportion. The concubine mother you said knows. Is there enough manpower for your concubine mother? Tell your people to be careful. Don't let your father grab the handle!"
