Biography of Concubine Shujia

Chapter 140

The eighth prince went home to accompany the princess and tease his daughter.The emperor continued to review the memorials in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.What is Shi Niang, whom the Eighth Prince called Little Sixth Wife, doing?Supported by the palace servants, she was walking on the way to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

And it was the emperor's idea to let the pregnant Shi Niang come to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Let's go back to the emperor in the study room. After the eight kings left, the emperor looked through the booklet and guessed that Shi Niang had almost rested, so he announced that Shi Niang would come to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to accompany him.

After the people in the harem heard that the emperor called Mrs. Shujia to accompany him again, they ordered someone to go secretly to inquire about the news.The news they inquired made them understand that Mrs. Shujia had been honored again.

According to the news they received before, the emperor and his wife were in the cold war period. They originally thought that the emperor would start to step into the harem, taking advantage of the opportunity of not getting close to his wife, to seduce the emperor and maybe have a chance to be favored.

Mrs. Dezhuang was summoned to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and they still thought that this would hit Mrs. Shujia in the face severely.When Mrs. Shujia and Mrs. Dezhuang confront each other, these low-ranking concubines will have a chance to make a move and get favored.

Who would have thought that Mrs. De Zhuang was a worthless person who was called by the emperor to accompany her but failed to keep the emperor.Instead, she asked his wife to stay the emperor in Yaohua Palace that night.

Now, the women in the palace did not dare to act recklessly.Mrs. Shujia is not Mrs. Dezhuang. She has a pet and a son, and she holds the seal of the phoenix. They are not stupid enough to touch her tiger's whiskers.I had no choice but to laugh at Mrs. Dezhuang in private after complaining.There are not a few concubines who make fun of the Li family.

Mrs. Dezhuang, Mrs. Li, did not confront Mrs. Shujia blindly this time.After being punished, Li Shi finally understood the principle of gaining wisdom through learning.

Ever since she was punished for sending a maid to deliberately make trouble in front of Madam Shujia because of Madam Duanxian going to the palace to accompany her driver, she has calmed down a lot.Although she was only punished for confinement at the beginning, during the punishment, Shi Niang made her seriously poisoned in order to bring down Daliu and Xiao Nalan, which finally made her dare not cause trouble easily.

Just because she doesn't act rashly doesn't mean she backed down.She was waiting for an opportunity to take revenge, Du Shi had a child, and she also had a son, and her son was in Fengyang, who fought bravely, and the emperor rewarded her well.Jin named her his wife.

Relying on her son, even if she is not as favored as Du Shiniang, she still has a chance to suppress Du Shiniang.How can Du Shiniang's sickly older son and younger son who don't understand anything compare to her.

All she has to do is hold on tight and everything will be fine when her son comes back.She had a hunch that the time when she was named a noble concubine was just around the corner.

So, Mrs. Du, I will let you go crazy for a while longer.Li Shi calculated in his heart.

Let's not mention Mrs. Dezhuang Li's here, let us continue to turn our attention to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

When Shi Niang came in, the emperor was meticulously marking the papers.Shi Niang didn't bother him, and stepped forward to help Momo lightly.

The emperor held a vermilion pen and wrote verdicts on the booklet.

Shi Niang was obediently rubbing the ink on the sidelines. She didn't do this for a long time, and her wrists became sore after rubbing for a while.Ten Niang secretly laughed at her hypocrisy, so many concubines dream of being accompanied by the Palace of Mental Cultivation, but when she comes here, she feels tired and panics.If you say it, you will be hated to death by those concubines.

Thinking of this makes me happy.Speaking of which, the emperor really spoiled himself. Apart from not being an excellent father, he spoiled her so much in many things.

"If you're tired, come and sit." Out of the corner of the emperor's eyes, he saw her small movements of pressing and kneading her wrists, and said with a smile on his lips.

Stretching out her hand to hold Momo's hand, Shi Niang let go of the Momo stone, walked to the emperor, and sat beside him.

The emperor hugged her, frightened her, and quickly reached out to grab the emperor's arm.

The emperor turned her back to him and took her into his arms.Walking around behind her, stroking her belly with one hand, and holding the booklet in the other, "What a delicate girl, you can't do it even after grinding ink. What kind of work should I find for you when you come to the Hall of Mental Cultivation?"

"If a concubine can't do it well, naturally there are other sisters who are willing to do it." Shi Niang let go of the emperor's arm and moved her sore wrist.

He frowned and hummed while rubbing, "I don't like to come here, those ministers in the court are almost scolding me to death. They scold concubines and concubines, and all concubines know it, hum!"

"I'm just joking, you're addicted." The emperor put his hand on Shi Niang's belly and stroked upwards, pinching Shi Niang's little face that had become rounder these days.

"I've already scolded you. I don't want to know what else they scolded you? I don't want to know why they scolded you? I don't want to see what they want from me?" The emperor put the booklet in Ten Niang's hands.

"I don't want to read it. Doesn't it mean that the harem is not allowed to be involved in politics?!" Ten Niang kept the booklet on the imperial case, "I didn't have to read it and was edited, and I was still angry."

"My harem doesn't have so many rules for you. Besides, my little girl is the one who follows the rules?"

"You said I don't behave properly!" Shi Niang let go of her hand and pinched the emperor's elbow, "You said that I can behave unruly in front of you."

"Yes, I said it." The emperor took away Shi Niang's troublesome hand, and coaxed, "Be obedient, read the stack of papers over there, and see how they scold you."

"Too lazy to read. I don't want to read those people's melodramatic memorials." Shi Niang tugged on the emperor's sleeve instead.

"It's already here, since you can't grind ink, just sit here and sort out the pile of papers for me, and ask me if you don't understand."

Ten Niang looked at the notebook the emperor pointed at, and then turned her head to look at the seriousness in the emperor's eyes. After confirming that it was not a false show, Fang lowered her head and thought for a while, then agreed, "Since I'm idle, I'm idle, so let me help you sort out the book case." .”

The promise was yes, but he refused to admit that he was reading the memorial.

She had been taught by the emperor himself in her early years, so she naturally knew that this was the emperor's temptation and trust in her, but since the emperor wanted to do this, she was willing to be so obedient.

He stretched out his hand to pick up the folded book that had just been put aside and looked at it. The emperor and concubine each looked at the folded book in front of them, and were speechless for a moment.

The atmosphere in the Hall of Mental Cultivation is peaceful and warm.

After reading the notebook in Huizi's hand, Shi Niang suddenly said to the emperor, "I'm not comfortable sitting like this. Let me go, so you can use your right hand to criticize Zhu."

The emperor let go of his embrace, and Shi Niang chose a place closer to him and sat down again, continuing to look at the small stack of papers in front of him.

She also knew that what the emperor showed her now could be known to her, so the speed of browsing gradually increased.

The emperor showed her nothing more than some brochures from the Ministry of Rites about various festivals and rituals. These insignificant brochures were mostly for reporting the progress of preparations for the annual banquet, spring plowing, and drafting a few months later.

Ten Niang was careful, and discovered that there was an excerpt from the clan's mansion mixed in here, which described various situations of the fourth prince in the clan's mansion.

Ten Niang's eyes dimmed, and she almost forgot about this person.He wanted to abolish him before, firstly because he caused Sixth Brother to disappear in the northwest, and secondly because he was against Yao'er everywhere.That's why he came up with that vicious strategy when he overthrew Xiao Nalan's and Da Liu's.

The fourth prince is considered ruined now, but the emperor only ordered him to be imprisoned without any punishment, which also made Shi Niang feel a little uncertain.

I am afraid that when the fourth prince is still alive, the emperor is likely to choose a whetstone for his future successor. There is still a chance for the fourth prince.Although it is difficult for him to have the opportunity to ascend to the great position in this life, it is not impossible to become a king if he handles it well.

To be honest, Shi Niang didn't want to give the fourth prince a chance, this son's deep scheming, forbearance, and vicious methods cannot be underestimated.

It is the only thing Shi Niang wants to do now is to "take advantage of your illness and kill you", take advantage of the fourth prince's loss of power, directly throw him into hell, and never give him a chance to stand up.

She will not keep a person who threatens their mother and child, no matter how harmless a beast is, it will sometimes stretch its claws.It's not fun to be caught by him in the back.

Among the papers from the Ministry of Etiquette, there was a paper from the clan's mansion that was abnormal. If she couldn't see that the emperor did it on purpose, it was useless to follow him for so many years, trying to figure out his intentions.

After knowing it in her mind, she took the booklet and started acting.

"Brother Six, take a look at this brochure." She hesitated and handed the brochure to the emperor.

The emperor glanced at it and then asked directly, "What do you want, girl?"

"The concubine is afraid and cannot put him by your and Yao'er's side. In the northwest, Yao'er once told the concubine in private that if the fourth prince hadn't been arrogant and ambitious, he would not have fallen into Hedu's hands. It won’t implicate Brother Yun to death, and it won’t let my good man who stepped forward to save him die in the northwest.”

"Yao'er is close to you." The emperor smiled, ignored what Shi Niang said, and instead said to Shi Niang, "What else did that child Yao'er tell you?"

"You know San'er, he has never told me much about these affairs in court and on the battlefield. These news are because the elders in the family were worried about Yao'er, and let the concubine leak the news. To frighten the concubine, On the battlefield, the sword has no eyes, this is too cruel. The concubine asked repeatedly, and that child Yao'er picked up something he could know and told the concubine."

Seeing the emperor's silence, Shi Niang gritted her teeth, calmed down, and said anxiously, "I know, it was my layout that implicated him, and it's normal if you don't believe me. But have you ever thought about it? He was still a little boy when he was born."

"Yes, he is still a half-grown child." The emperor continued.

"I made arrangements in the game, and I didn't intend to get rid of him. I've done everything on Li Shi's side, why is it necessary to drag your precious son into the water? It's because he entered the game willingly, because he didn't have any bottom line to achieve his goal. It's also because he didn't take you as a father seriously. In the end, it was my fault!" Shi Niang was so eloquent that even she was convinced by the lies she made up.

"Let me ask you a question, what's the use of keeping such a disloyal and unfilial thing?" Finally, he became angry and panting,
"Unfaithful and unfilial, heh." The emperor glanced at Zhezi with cold eyes, "I didn't intend to reuse him. Since you are so taboo about him, it's better not to let him out, so as not to worry Aifei."

After finishing speaking, she helped Shi Niang hold her chest and calm her breath, "It's not worth it. If you really get angry, it's my fault."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your sympathy." Shi Niang coughed unnaturally, a little in disbelief that the Emperor would agree so easily.

"Don't be too busy thanking me, do something for me, and if it's done, I will promise you that the fourth child will be imprisoned in the clan mansion for the rest of his life. You, the third child, and the sixth child will also be clean."

The emperor smiled, "Speaking of it, it is difficult for others, but it is much easier for a girl. Guess what it is?"

"You want the power of Nanluo Thirteen Commanderies?" Shi Niang looked up at the emperor.I thought he would coax himself for a while, but he was really anxious this time.The situation in the south is not optimistic.

"Smart." The emperor praised, "I like your cleverness. Tell me, what do you think?"

"You have been besieging Fengyang for a long time and did not order an attack. Firstly, the time has not yet come; secondly, it is the second prince's carelessness that made Fengyang King escape to Nanluo. In Fengyang City, there is the Bai family who proposed to cooperate with me. You want to take back The Bai family is for your use."

"That's right, let's continue the analysis." The emperor encouraged.

"Three counties in the thirteen counties of Nanluo were massacred by King Fengyang. He has already fallen in the hearts of the people. The second prince took back one county, but also lost many people who followed him. Therefore, you only rewarded him. Sister De, beat the second prince and don't be arrogant to clear the enemy."

The emperor beckoned, "Children can be taught. Come here, how to go next, we have to figure it out, right?"

Shi Niang sat in the emperor's arms as she said, and expressed her loyalty to the man behind her, "The Du family has never had two hearts with you. The power of the thirteen counties of Nanluo is also for the purpose of delivering news when you reformed the salt administration. It is set up. If you want it, the Du family will naturally offer it in full."

"But my concubine is reluctant to let Jiujie suffer in Nanluo, and wants to give her some bargaining chips to save her life." Shi Niang changed the subject and mentioned Du Jiuniang. Du Jiuniang, who disappeared in Nanluo, controls the power of the thirteen counties in Nanluo, Du's family. Du Jiuniang.

"Nanluo Thirteen Counties, no one has dared to touch your ninth sister. Your ninth sister's husband belongs to me. Are you relieved now?" The emperor pampered Shi Niang's head.

Ten Niang sneered in her heart, and it was true, the uncle and third uncle were right at all, and she broke the trap he had set up by letting her mother deliver the message in time.

rest assured?Don't worry, there are ghosts.I'm really relieved, the Du family and she have died countless times, so stupid.

She was slandering in her heart, but hurriedly replied, "The concubine will send a letter to the family, asking them to hand over all the power in the thirteen counties of Nanluo to you."

"The Du family is loyal, and I am not the one who kills the chicken and takes the eggs." The emperor was still very satisfied with the knowledge of Shiniang and the Du family.Don't mind giving him some more face.

"Nanluo thirteen counties, I have big arrangements, but I can't let the Du family suffer." The emperor thought for a while, "Your ninth brother has been in Nanluo for a while, let him follow Saner. Uncle and nephew are away from home. , there is also a mutual care.”

"You mean..." Shi Niang pretended to be grateful, and tugged the emperor's sleeves tightly.

The emperor patted her hand reassuringly, held the back and said, "Nanluo Thirteen Counties, let Yaoer go. You can't trust others, and you can't trust your own son? Wait for the Nanluo matter, let Yaoer go north to Fengyang."

It is a great achievement that the power of the Thirteen Counties of Nanluo has been brought back to the royal family.But there was no way to publicly award the reward, so the emperor proposed to let the third prince return north to Fengyang and share a share of the pie in Fengyang.

"It's not right! There is the second prince at Fengyang, Yao'er shouldn't try to grab credit from the second prince." Shi Niang said in a low voice, "You have to take care of the Li family."

"Fengyang has your merits in it. Let Yao'er go to ask for rewards for his mother and concubine. It should be. When your baby is born, no matter whether you are male or female, I will promote you as a noble concubine. If there are more, it won't be You should think about it. A queen is a queen after all."

Facing the emperor's promise and warning, Shi Niang bowed her head in respect, "Shi Niang thanked Sixth Brother, and my concubine thanked the Emperor."

"As for Yao'er, he's not in good health. I didn't plan to let him go in Fengcheng. Now that we've all gone to Nanluo, it's not too bad to go to Fengyang. Du Jiu didn't protect him well. Then let your third brother and Xin Yin follow. With the three of them here, you should feel at ease."

"You are doing Yao'er's good, how can the concubine know what is good or bad." Ten Niang turned sideways, held the emperor's face, and kissed the emperor's lips,
"Ten Niang thank you on Yao'er's behalf."

"Yao'er is also my child. A father should think about his son." The emperor's eyes darkened, "This thank you gift is a bit light."
