Biography of Concubine Shujia

Chapter 154

The side hall of Zhongcui Palace, and the small courtyard of He Rongyi.

"What do you say at home?" The gentle and handsome man in light blue clothes asked the personal maid who had just returned from inquiring about the news.

She entered the palace in the sixth year of Xijia, together with her were the deceased Xi Ronghua Daliu, and Bai Jieyu Bai and others who suppressed themselves now and ranked first among the three nobles.Now only she and Bai Shi are left in the position of Sanguiyi.The rest vanished in the already man-eating palace.

Because of the matter with her younger sister, she was not promoted to the harem at the end of the 24th.Except for Bai Shunhua who was demoted because of the second princess, she was the only high-ranking concubine who was not enfeoffed by Jin.

But her younger sister, Ping Chonghua, has been gifted to death.No amount of complaints disappeared with her death.Her younger sister originally entered the palace for her own favor.

For the sake of the family and her, the younger sister was forced to abandon her favorite lover and enter the palace, which led to the tragedy that followed.

In fact, when she saw that the fourth prince looked more and more like the person who followed her younger sister before, she should be vigilant.But at that time, she did not expect that the fourth prince and the Liu family would have such great ambitions and unscrupulous means.My younger sister is deeply involved, but she won't listen to her own elder sister's words.

Afterwards, neither the Daliu family nor the younger sister came to a good end, the fourth prince was still imprisoned in the clan mansion, and the younger sister's heir was also raised by the current Gu Fangyi.

The seventh prince's jade certificate has been changed, so he can only be regarded as Gu Fangyi's child from now on, and has nothing to do with the Nalan family.Moreover, under the suppression of the emperor, the Nalan family lived in trepidation.No matter what happened to the Nalan family, they did not have the capital to participate in the prince's struggle.

The fifth prince she raised was unknown to others, but she knew it all too well.

When the child was born from the mother's womb, it was not very well.In recent years, she has taken the trouble to raise the fifth prince. After participating in the Northwest War, the fifth prince also got the title of Beizi.But the fifth prince still cannot compare with Prince Ying and Prince Ze in terms of strategy and calculation.

In recent days, Wu Beizi has a faint tendency to move closer to Prince Ying's line, she sees it and is anxious in her heart.Wu Beizi didn't know where he learned about his own mother's dystocia, and he became no longer close to his adoptive mother.

If you ask her, this child is also unclear.Why did the imperial concubine Dezhuang and the Prince of England throw an olive branch to a small but insignificant shellfish?It's not that he has taken a fancy to the Nalan family behind his adoptive mother.

Although the Nalan family and the Liu family were ruthlessly punished by the emperor and the eight kings because of a royal scandal.But as a family in Beijing.Although her family is no longer like other aristocratic families, some connections are still useful.

Wu Beizi was being used by others without knowing it, and he tried to tie the Nalan family and the Li family together.In other words, he has seen all this clearly, but he has great ambitions for that position, provoking Prince Ying and Prince Ze to face each other, but he wants to be the fisherman who wins in the end.

No matter what kind of thinking it is, it is not a good thing for the Nalan family, which is already in jeopardy.If one is not careful, the whole family will not escape the same fate as the Xiao family.

That's why she took advantage of this general election to quietly send her personal maid to inquire about the news, and took this opportunity to communicate with her family.

In this general election, her family did not send any more women to the palace to run for election.This year, Wu Beizi's age has also reached the time to choose a side concubine. As a foster mother, she naturally has to plan for him.

After looking through the roster after the primary election this time, she carried it with Concubine Dezhuang, so that the daughter of the Zelu family would serve as a side concubine for her adopted son.

Of course, she and Li Shi deliberately confronted each other.She has been in the palace for so many years, and she can see it.Although Mrs. Huimin's status is not as high as that of the Li family, the emperor trusts the Chen family, so she will not and cannot choose the daughter of the Chen family.

Besides, Mrs. Huimin and Shujia Concubine Du's marriage is also very likely, and there is no reason to confront the two powerful people in the harem for a beautiful girl.

To say that Lu's niece is not a good candidate, only Li could not see clearly and wanted to choose a Lu family daughter for his son.Isn't it deliberately tabooed by the emperor to choose a wife with military power for the son who has already been crowned king?
But the adopted son was close to the Li family, so in order to protect her family and herself, she had to act like she had to tear herself apart from the Li family for choosing the prince and concubine.Before Li Shi opened his mouth to recruit her and the Nalan family, he cut off this possibility.

Speaking of this matter, it doesn't matter whether it succeeds or not.If it is done, she has successfully established a relationship with Mrs. Duanxian and the Lu family; if not, she has also let the emperor and other people in the harem understand that as an adoptive mother, she cares about her adopted son, and she will plan for her son even if she offends the imperial concubine.

She made these actions, but she still needed the cooperation of her family.If Nalan's house was recovered by Prince Ying outside the palace, then everything she did would be meaningless.

She sent someone out of the palace just to raise some family concerns. Don't be careless. The battle for the throne is not a good thing for the Nalan family.

Only by preserving the remaining strength will it be possible to make a comeback in the future.

As for fifth beizi, she had already given up on this adopted son after several trials to no avail.Because she didn't want to be bitten by her adopted son like the Daliu family who entered the palace with her, and lost her life.

"Miss, don't worry, the old master said, everything will be done according to your wishes. Don't worry about the family, just choose a concubine for the fifth baby." The maid who came out from the family carefully replied.

After listening to it, she was relieved and worried at the same time.

Although she acted like she was competing with the Li family, she also knew that most nobles in Beijing were unwilling to marry their family, and the emperor was also unwilling to give Wu Beizi too much power.

So in fact, she was really worried about the choice of her daughter-in-law.Even though she has decided to give up her fifth son, the daughter-in-law always has to serve her before tearing her face apart. There is no need to choose a bad one to make herself suffer.

But in the end, the choice of the concubine is for the emperor to decide, and the emperor has not visited her side hall for a long time.When they came to Zhongcui Palace, they also rested in the main hall of Duanxian's wife, Mrs. Lu or Bai Jieyu.It is not easy for her to meet the emperor.

It seems that I have to find an opportunity to get to know the people in power in the palace.

Not to mention the entanglement between Zhong Cui Palace and Rong Yi, at this time the person in power in the inner palace, Concubine Shujia's Yaohua Palace, seemed to be enjoying themselves happily.

Although Shi Niang was still in confinement, she insisted on summoning Prince Ze Mu Yao to Yaohua Palace through the screen.

Unlike when there was the sixth prince, Mu Jin, when she was pregnant with the tenth prince this time, Prince Ze was not in Beijing, so he was not as close to the younger brother as the second brother.

In addition, he is already 15 years old and has a precocious temperament. If the mother and concubine were not careful, there would be many people waiting around him.So this time when the mother concubine was in confinement, he just greeted her in the outer hall sooner or later and left in a hurry, not staying much.

This time, the mother concubine specially summoned him, and he was still very nervous.The mother and concubine were actually not old enough to have children, he knew, but his father insisted, so the mother and concubine had no choice but to give birth to a child.

He was also worried that his mother and concubine would feel unwell after giving birth, and it was inconvenient to call the imperial physician, so he hurried to Yaohua Palace after getting the news.

Concern is chaotic, when he saw Jingyue following Aunt Hei with a bitter face, he knew that the concubine mother was looking for him for something, but it was definitely not what he thought.

Sure enough, when Jingyue saw Mu Yao, she grinned and winked at him.Before he understood what his Eighth Sister meant, Ruo Min came out from behind the screen with the Tenth Prince in his arms.

Then, there is no more.Mu Yao was forced to hug the Tenth Prince, whose eyes were red from crying, and began to pat him on his own.

"Mu Yao greeted the concubine mother. The concubine mother said that she had something to look for her son. How is the concubine mother?"

"Yao'er coaxes your younger brother first, the child keeps crying."

"Auntie, what's wrong with the tenth brother?" The tenth prince got up, coaxing softly as he walked, "Be good, Zhonger, don't cry, third brother will buy you candy."

"Returning to King Ze, when the emperor came up yesterday, he first moved the tenth prince to the side hall, and the nanny took it with him; after the emperor returned, the master took it with him personally, and the tenth prince still cried all night. Today, during the day, Following the master, I have always been uneasy, and the master cried when he didn't hold her."

"The tenth brother usually sleeps with the concubine mother?" Mu Yao asked softly after grasping the meaning of Ruo Min's words.

Once the prince was born, he was led by the nanny to live in the side hall next to the concubine.It is rare for a concubine mother to take the child to sleep in person, and it is time for the concubine mother to recuperate. The root cause of the disease has been established during confinement, and the illness will torture her for a lifetime in the future.

"The tenth prince has been very attached to the master since he was born. The master said that when the tenth prince was in her stomach, she didn't care to take care of it. After he was born, she had to take good care of it. The master has always been with the tenth prince. Yesterday The son may have changed places suddenly, and the prince is not used to it."

"Let the tenth prince sleep with the sixth prince today, and we can't let him mess with the concubine mother anymore." Mu Yao stopped, looked at the tenth prince who was startled by his words, "you worry little guy."

Strange thing, the tenth prince nestled in Mu Yao's arms, but he stopped crying completely.With a pair of big eyes open, he looked at his third brother dimly.

"Third brother, here comes another one who loves to cling to you. From my sister's point of view, you don't have to throw the tenth brother to the sixth brother. You can pack both of them and take them to the prince's residence. I guarantee that the mother and concubine don't have to worry about it." , in good health."

"Little Ba." Mu Yao tucked the little hand that the tenth prince wanted to reach out, rewrapped the swaddling clothes, and glared at his eighth younger sister.

A few days ago, in the matter of southern border, if there was no Jingyue, the emperor would not have trusted him and his concubine so easily.

But his younger sister, under the protection of only a few people sent by him secretly, lured the second and fourth sisters into the Yaoguang Palace, but she retreated completely and went to the small Buddhist hall of Yongshou Palace.Afterwards, he even acted in front of his father, hiding it from his father.

He was worried before that the Eighth Sister was not as ruthless as the Seventh Sister, and he might suffer from getting married in the future.Now it seems that she is the most transparent, not ruthless, because she is too lazy to make a move.

That's fine, with so many crooked people, it's really not the life she wants to live.There's nothing wrong with having a more lively temper. In the future, I will tell my father to choose someone who can tolerate her.

"Third brother, I was wrong. I shouldn't have followed Jingshan secretly to Mingxiang Garden to see the girls in the draft." Jingyue was stared at by Mu Yao, and immediately admitted her mistake, only to realize it later.Her mother and concubine haven't complained to the third brother yet, so it's nothing if she doesn't ask for it, she's so stupid that she wants it.

"Huh?" Mu Yao's nasal voice picked up, "You are a girl, why go to Mingxiang Garden to see beautiful girls?"

"Well, Jingshan said, will there be a future third sister-in-law here this time? I just wanted to help my brother see each other first." Jingyue began to snap her fingers,

"Third brother, let me tell you, there are many sisters from aristocratic families this time. There are Chen family, Lu family, fifth sister from third uncle's family, and many beautiful sisters."

"Nonsense, that's Xiu Nu. It's up to you and Jingshan to see each other. Look at the palace, the other mothers and concubines are silent. You are the representative of Yaohua Palace. What do you want them to do?" See mother and concubine?" Mu Yao didn't feel shy in the slightest when he heard this, but instead reprimanded his sister.

"I didn't think about it that much, I just wanted to help third brother take a look." Jingyue lowered her head guiltyly, looking at third brother's serious face, there was really no way not to be afraid.

"Still sophistry!" Mu Yao glanced at Aunt Hei, who agreed to disagree with Jingyue's actions, "These days, mother and concubine are busy, and the sixth and tenth younger brothers are young, and Aunt Ruo Min can't take care of her alone. You move with Aunt Hei." Go back to Piandian and help concubine mother take care of younger brothers. Don't go out with Jingshan to mess around!"

"Yes, third brother, I understand." Jingyue returned reluctantly, "I'll go back and pack my things, and move back to stay with my concubine and take care of my younger brother."

Aunt Hei was worried about Jingyue, so she naturally followed Jingyue and retreated.

"The same goes for the concubine mother. The tenth brother is still young. Naturally, the imperial physician and palace servants will take care of everything. Your own top priority is to take care of yourself. The tenth brother is ignorant, so you follow along. Let the emperor know, and I don't know how to blame your side What about the servants. The first one is that Aunt Ruomin suffered, why do you feel that aunt is going to the Punishment Department at such an old age?"

"Your tenth brother is crying all the time, isn't mother and concubine also doing the same?"

"You are not used to him. If you cry too much, naturally you will stop crying. From now on, I will come every day to help you take care of the tenth brother. I am not in Beijing for the enlightenment of the sixth brother these days. Who is teaching it? Don't waste it." foundation."

"On weekdays, your father personally taught him by your side. If you have time, you can ask your younger brother. This child is very attached to your father now."

"My son understands. Take good care of your body so that your son can rest assured when he's outside." Mu Yao finished talking about his mother and concubine, and began to worry about her health again.

"Mother concubine can save it." Ten Niang asked with a smile, "Since Yao'er is so worried about Auntie, why don't you marry a daughter-in-law and let her take care of Auntie when Auntie is sick?"

"Mother and concubine, what are you talking about? The concubine of this king must be filial to you. Otherwise, why would you marry me?"

"You child, you have to know what you want in this general election. After all, you are the one who will be with you all your life. Tell your mother what kind of person you want. She will help Yao'er choose a good one."

"Mother and concubine don't need to worry, father and emperor will not choose someone from a family for his son. If mother and concubine are free, you might as well look at those ladies from the officials' families who are released outside. Choose a gentle personality who can be filial to you and help take care of your younger brothers and sisters." Just fine."

"You, this is to pick a daughter-in-law for you, not for your mother, concubine and younger siblings." Ten Niang sighed.

"In this palace, the king is the eldest son of the concubine, and the concubine cannot take on the heavy responsibility of educating younger siblings, so how can I rest assured?"
