Biography of Concubine Shujia

Chapter 134

Yikun Palace, the main hall.

After returning from the Los Angeles palace, the atmosphere in the palace closed to the sick and the gate was oppressive and silent. Huimin's wife, Chen Minxian, looked at Ning Shuyuan, who was sitting peacefully drinking tea.Although she knew that it was His Majesty's secret decree that Ning's illness would not come out, Chen Minxian was still a little surprised to see Ning Shuyuan who was so calm.

Ning Shuyuan was wearing a crimson blouse with palace brocade tinsel flowers and butterfly brocade, and a crimson pleated skirt of the same color, covered with a layer of bright red thin silk silk brocade and fine pattern lace. The neckline and belt were embroidered There are a few crystal clear North Sea pearls, and the snow-white beads are dotted on the bright red brocade one by one, which looks very stunning.The shoes are made of bright red silk brocade satin with soft soles, on which are embroidered a pair of dancing butterflies. The butterflies are made of multicolored golden silk thread inlaid with gold. The embroidery is very delicate and looks lifelike.

Speaking of which, Ning Shuyuan and her are the same batch of beautiful women who entered the palace.Among the beautiful women who entered the palace back then, they were not arrogant and domineering.However, apart from Lu Rongjing and Li Siqin, the three daughters of the aristocratic family who achieved high positions, it was this unreliable Shuyuan who had the highest position.What she has always wondered about is how the person who was able to give birth to the first prince among the aristocratic family lost the emperor's heart step by step.

Perhaps Chen's gaze was too direct and prolonged, Ning Shuyuan put down the teacup in her hand, and smiled at the visitor, "Madam, I am curious why this concubine has come to this point?"

"Sister Congmin." Mrs. Chen was really surprised, she knew the purpose of coming here just from her scrutinizing eyes, this girl was unexpectedly clever.In this 20-year career in the inner palace, everyone in the palace probably underestimated this person's means.This person will indeed hide and protect himself wisely.

"Does my sister know what my concubine's last name is?" Ning Shuyuan seemed to know Chen's surprise, and asked an irrelevant question.

"Sister Ning, what do you mean?" Mrs. Chen couldn't figure out what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd.

"After the [-]th day of August in the third year of Xijia, my younger sister had the honor to officially enter the palace with the three sisters who are the three daughters of the aristocratic family. I remember that the first one who was turned over was Sister Lu who was a noble person at the time. Tian was conferred the title of Wanyi, which was bestowed on Yaoguang Palace. The second one to be overturned was your elder sister, and you were given the title of Fenyi. In the end, the daughter of the aristocratic family was overthrown as Lishi, but the emperor overthrew her for three days in a row. She was conferred the title of Fangyi and given the title of "Li". In the next two months, our other new young ladies were also favored by the emperor one by one. Zhang Chang was named Zhang Meiren in Jin Dynasty and given the title of "Shu". For Meng Changzai and Wan Niangzi for Jin Changzai, I was given the title "Lan". I was promoted to be a lady and given the title "Ning". Waiter. In November of the same year, the emperor favored Zhao, the tea-serving maid of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and named her Miao Cai Nu."

"My sister has a good memory. My sister is here today, not to reminisce about the past with my sister. My sister should know that she can only help you if my sister tells her."

"Sister Hui, don't worry, no one has talked with my sister and me for a long time. Be patient and listen to me. You will understand how my sister and I have made it to this day."

"Then I will listen all the time, my sister should know that the opportunity is rare. But think about it, what you said and what you did."

"In the fourth year of Xijia, in the second month after Dafeng's harem, Miaoyu was pregnant for two months and was promoted to Miaobaolin. At the end of the same month, I was pregnant and promoted to Ningcai. In May, Lanshu was pregnant. Promoted to Lan Fenyi. At that time, His Majesty's heirs were not thick, and the pregnancy of the three of us made His Majesty, Queen Mother and Empress very happy."

"In September of that year, Miao Baolin gave birth to the second princess, who was raised by the empress, and promoted to be Miaoxuan servant. Seeking kindness and devotion, he exchanged the child for the queen's protection, and became a dog abandoned by the empress. November , I gave birth to the first prince, and the emperor was overjoyed. He was promoted to the third rank, and I was promoted to Ning Shunhua, the head of the three shuns. I know that the emperor asked me to raise our children. My sister has had children. You should know that looking at the little one When you are in a small group, your heart can melt. I am very happy, not because I gave birth to the eldest son of the emperor, nor because I surpassed the three daughters of your family to get a high position, nor because I have a stable position in the inner palace. Enjoy the glory and wealth. Just because, as a mother, I have my first child."

"The eldest prince will be sad when he sees his sister doing this for him in the Spirit of Heaven." Chen persuaded, children in the palace will suffer from all kinds of disasters, and it is even more difficult for children in the palace to survive.Speaking of which, in the early years of Emperor Rui's harem, although it was difficult to raise heirs, most of the children survived, and none of them died easily.Except for the eldest prince, Ning Shuyuan's eldest prince.

"On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in the fifth year of Xijia, Lan Fenyi gave birth to the third princess. She was lucky enough to receive the gift of the queen, and she was promoted to the position after giving birth to the queen. She was able to raise her own children. Now that I think about it, the eldest prince, the emperor's first A son. Could it be that he became a live target for the palace. At that time, during my pregnancy, the emperor promised me in private that the child would be raised by me. So I refused without hesitation the olive branch offered by you. I don't trust you, and I don't want to form an alliance with you. At this time, the Queen Mother found me." Ning Shuyuan, who was caught up in memories, slowly revealed the secret buried in her heart.

"My younger sister was protected by the Empress Dowager, and she should be grateful to the Empress Dowager for giving birth to a child." Thinking of the death of Zhen Wanyi in the palace, Chen was shocked.The death of Zhen Wanyi really had something to do with Ning Shuyuan.

"The Empress Dowager's natal family, the Xiao family, has two dynasties and three empresses. What a honor. The Xiao family is today's mother family, and it is also a descendant family. How powerful is it. In order to help the current ascendant, the Holy Mother Empress Dowager made a great sacrifice; The empress dowager even forced the uncle regent against her, and forced the empress Yuan to death. Do these sisters know? The empress’s throne is so isolated. Seeing that the empress has not had a sister for so many years, you can understand. Many, but His Majesty has always loved and loved her so much, why have we never heard of her being pregnant since we entered the palace? Elder sister knows why?" Ning Shuyuan spoke more and more quickly, almost pressing questions.

Chen's body was covered in cold sweat. She had never thought of finding out these old secrets in the palace since she entered the palace.Before she entered the palace, the Chen family surrendered to the emperor.She is a pawn sent to the palace by the emperor to restrain the family and the family to show their loyalty to the emperor.The family was dissatisfied with her for giving birth to a daughter for the sake of her being different from the Li and Lu clans, all for the sake of the emperor to deceive others.

She knew her identity very well, and the emperor was satisfied with her knowledge, so after the eldest prince died, he let her enter the garrison and became the eyes of the emperor's harem.Having been by Master's side for so many years, she is smart and quick-witted, knowing that she shouldn't think or delusional, and keep silent when she shouldn't detect.What the master doesn't want people to know, if you know it, there will be no good results.

Thinking of the master's method of punishing people, especially the method of punishing the hidden guards, he couldn't help feeling a little regretful that he didn't call Du Shi together.In this way, at least I will not be alone, and when my master punishes me, it will not be too heavy to think about the ease between Du Shi and her.Her fifth emperor daughter has reached the age of marriage, and she doesn't want to cause complications.It is better to leave Yikun Palace as a matter of urgency.

"It's not for us sisters to talk about the queen mother and queen." Priscilla Chen put down the teacup, "My sister doesn't want to talk about it, but my sister doesn't force it. When my sister is in a better mood some other day, my sister will visit again."

"Sister is scared?" Ning Shuyuan smiled knowingly, "Sister has entered my sister's Yikun Palace and wants to leave immediately. You must say that you don't know anything, and Mrs. Shujia won't believe you, right? And we Your Majesty, can you easily let you go?"

"Ning's!" Chen Minxian restrained her anger and stopped.

"Sister, the word "Ning" is my younger sister's title. My younger sister's surname is Shu. Who in the palace still remembers my surname? I'd better listen to the matter in this palace, otherwise how can you break the current situation." "Ning Shuyuan smiled miserably.

"Since my younger sister wants to say it, I will stay with my younger sister today." Chen Minxian calmed down, she couldn't figure out the fact that Ning Shuyuan even pointed it out for no reason.Since they don't give her a chance to hide, she has to settle down and listen to him sing, right?

"My sister offended me." Ning Shuyuan stood up and knelt at Chen Minxian's feet, "My younger sister knows that there will be no good end. Today, I will tell my elder sister all the secrets in the palace. It's not for any other reason. I just ask my elder sister to see her honestly." For the sake of acknowledgment, I will reach out to caress my fourth imperial daughter in the future."

"Sister, what are you doing?" Mrs. Chen hastily pulled Ning Shuyuan up.

"Sister, listen to me." Ning Shuyuan stopped Chen's movements, knelt on the ground, lowered her head and continued in a low voice.

"My sister doesn't know how the empress dowagers helped the emperor win the throne in danger. My sister knows how to help the queen ascend the throne, but for my own sake, I can't tell. My sister only told her that the empress has been infertile for so many years. It's not that she can't have children, but that she doesn't want to have children, she doesn't want to have children for the emperor. And the emperor doesn't want the blood of the Xiao family to be left on the next emperor. "

"Sister has seen the queen in the palace?" Chen thought of the queen who did not accompany her back to the palace this time.The queen is smart, she doesn't have children, and she has less calculations, so she can have a clear mind and gain the emperor's trust.

"My younger sister has been serving the Empress Dowager in the palace, and she has never met the Empress Dowager." Ning Shuyuan replied, "The Empress Dowager has been doing all the tricks for so many years. In the end, it all came to nothing."

"My younger sister is protected by the queen mother, so she should serve the queen mother." Chen did not comment much.She would not be so stupid as to slander the Queen Mother in someone else's territory.

"In my life, the person I hate the most is not the Du family who took away my love, not the emperor who gave me a high position but abandoned him, but the good empress dowager of Yongshou Palace. Without her, my emperor is still alive, Without her, my fourth girl would not be sick."

Mrs. Chen didn't urge her, Ning Shuyuan and Mrs. Shu were actually a poor woman.From her few words, I have glimpsed the tragedy of the empress dowager, empress, and emperor in a three-party game, but sacrificed the child who was less than half a year old.

"The empress dowager found me when I was pregnant, and wanted me to cooperate with the Xiao family. She promised me that if she gave birth to a prince, she would give birth to her or be raised by the queen, and she would help my son ascend to that position in the future. I Although I am ambitious, I am not stupid, and I will not fail to see her calculations. So I declined her. After that, I was worried that she would use the empress to put pressure on me, so I first asked the emperor to allow me to Raising children. The emperor wanted to prevent the descendants from intervening in the heir, so he agreed to me."

"Sister was able to protect the child in the palace back then. I admire this ability."

"I carefully protected the child all the way, for fear of being plotted against by others; when giving birth, I was afraid that the queen mother would use tricks to keep the son and leave the mother. In this way, under the protection of the emperor, I gave birth to the eldest prince. You should give up. Who would have thought that the empress dowager is waiting for Lan Fenyi to give birth. As long as she gives birth to a son, my son can live. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in the fifth year of Xijia, Lan Fenyi gave birth to the third princess. Sometimes I am very special I hate her only because she gave birth to the princess. My only son, who does not want to join the Xiao family and has a different heart, must die." Ning Shuyuan's voice was like a cuckoo weeping blood, every word was an elegy.

"In February, my eldest prince caught wind and cold. He was so young, he was killed in less than three months! I hugged the eldest prince without eating or drinking and cried for three days and three nights. My heart seemed to be hollowed out. It hurts as much as it hurt! I found in the interlayer of the child's clothes, the clothes of the child who died of the cold and died, with thick slurry on it. What a cruel heart! What a poisonous method! After the emperor found out, in order to stop my mouth , promoted me to the third grade of Ronghua. I became the highest-ranking concubine in the palace. Only then did I know why the empress was unwilling to have children. Hate, I hate, I hate that woman in Yongshou Palace!"

Chen Minxian tightly squeezed the teacup with her fingers. She knew that the death of the eldest prince was not easy, but she never thought that she would face this cruel truth.Ning Shuyuan's red eyes with hatred gave her the illusion that Ning Shuyuan had gone crazy.

"In this palace, I have no support and no power. It is even more difficult to bring her down." Ning Shuyuan wiped away her tears, paused, and continued, "But I'm not in a hurry, I have plenty of time to follow After the death of the emperor, I was disappointed with the emperor. He couldn't avenge my child, so I had to avenge my child. So, on the one hand, I don't want to face the emperor anymore, on the other hand, I am taking care of my body. In order to conceive again. Only when I am pregnant again can I climb higher, gain power, and lay out my plans step by step to knock that woman out of the dust."

"In March of Xijia's sixth year, Sister Lu became pregnant. In July, she gave birth to a well-formed boy. After confinement, she began to take revenge on Sister Li. The two have endless ways to compete for favor. The concubine was panicked. At this time, my sister seized the opportunity and became pregnant again."

"That's right, and then sister Jia's group of beautiful girls entered the palace. What happened to Zheng Xuan's attendants, speaking of it, for so many years, because of the fourth girl, I have always blamed her, but let her take the blame." Ning Shuyuan laughed, "Although I heard that my sister and sister Jia found out the truth about what happened back then, but sister Hui, do you think that's all there is?"

"The dead Liu family and Xiao Nalan family are not wronged. Not only did sister Jia and sister you suppress those two forces, but also vented my anger for my fourth girl. It is not a loss. But Liu family has always Smart, although Little Nalan is impulsive and stupid, the Nalan family behind her is not an idiot. Why would the two of them bewitch Zheng Xuanshi to run into me and then frame sister Jia? Are they so courageous that they will fight against each other when they are not on their feet? The emperor's heir makes a move, isn't he afraid of the emperor's punishment?"

"Yes..." Chen Minxian hesitated, the methods of the emperor and the queen mother were more ruthless than the other, she was actually not sure who did it.

"It's the empress dowager. She is teaching me a lesson and reminding me. No one knows better than me what the fate of not being able to use her is. So I surrendered to the empress dowager and became her eyes in the harem. She Promise to keep my child. When the fourth girl was born, I was really glad that she was a daughter. In this way, although she will marry and leave me, she is not a threat to others and can live smoothly. "

"My younger sister taught the four imperial daughters very well. They are not ostentatious and inconspicuous. They don't need to get married, and don't need to be used as bargaining chips to win over the tribes in the northwest, north and south to marry."

"I am very loyal to the empress dowager. I regard myself as her confidant and demand myself. I always know everything she wants to know. Who does she want to attack and who does she want to find out? I can do it without hesitation. Slowly, I often go to her palace to fulfill my filial piety. At that time, I secretly knew a lot of secrets in the inner palace, and I was hiding in her palace and taking risks to eavesdrop. for the purpose of using these against her one day.”

"Sister is really courageous and ruthless." Chen Minxian no longer knew how to describe these right and wrong.

"The queen mother also knew the emperor's defense against the Xiao family. She began to actively plan for the princess to marry, and wanted to find a life-saving talisman for the Xiao family. But the matter of the eldest princess was broken by Mrs. Shujia, and the eldest princess was also sent to Kunsang. She had no choice but to choose the second princess to marry the Xiao family. Originally, she was about to give up. But the eldest princess came back and brought back enough bargaining chips, so the women from the Xiao family and the Ouyang family planned the disappearance of the queen. , attracted the emperor to Los Angeles."

"Luocheng Palace, sister, what kind of role do you play in it?" Chen Minxian thought, finally came, and said the important point.

"My sister knows that the emperor is going to Los Angeles, did you order someone to accompany you?" Ning Shuyuan asked.

"Besides Sister Zhen, it's you, Sister Zhen. Besides, Sister Zhen begged to go on her own, and you are the person appointed by the emperor to accompany you." After the meeting, the Chen family replied, "I only knew about it after hearing about Sister Jia. "

"Do you know why the emperor insists on bringing me and sister Zhen?"

Chen Minxian felt a chill in her heart. Sure enough, she and Sister Jia guessed right, all of this was done by the master!The death of the Zhen family is also reasonable, but why is Ning Shuyuan imprisoned, and what is the master's plan.

Seeing that Mrs. Chen didn't speak, Ning Shuyuan didn't care, she asked herself and answered, "Because, our good empress dowager and your good emperor need to wait until I arrive in Los Angeles to make a big show!"
