Biography of Concubine Shujia

Chapter 156

In the Hall of Mental Cultivation, the emperor reviewed the memorial.

The Eighth King sat aside and didn't know what he was planning. He threw away his pen when he was halfway through the calculation, "Brother Emperor, what are your plans for the account of the three chiefs of the secret guards and the loss of my secret guards?" When will the younger brother be allowed to settle the matter by himself?"

"Eighth brother, the lineage of the Li family can't be moved now. I think you must know the relationship better than anyone else." The emperor put down the approved papers, and was stunned at the papers on the imperial case that no one had sorted out. Stupid.

"Your brother doesn't understand, I only know that the best of the twelve guards of Anbu, the leader of the three died at the hands of someone who was determined to go his own way and was very happy with his achievements." Eighth King clapped the secret book in his hand, "If he Not your son, Mu Yunlan, who died countless times in Fengyang."

"The deputy commander of the third department of the dark guards will take over the position of commander. Protect the dark guards who died in the line of duty, and take good care of the wives and children at home. Take a day to go to the Hui clan and pick some suitable candidates to come back." The emperor said to the eight kings. The anger was not surprising, and he directly arranged the follow-up work of appeasement.

"Lord protector? How ridiculous, for the sake of a prince, he is actually the protector?" The Eighth Prince lightly pointed at the dark place, "Xin Yin, the layout of the battlefield is disrespectful, and what should be done to hurt a brother who was born and died?"

"You don't need to press him, it was my order. His role is not only to recover Fengyang, but also to keep the prince safe and sound." The emperor forced Xin Yin who wanted to show up, "Xin Yin has completed the task and released his status as a secret guard. Serving the imperial court, there will be no more entanglements with the dark guards in this life."

"Okay, good brother emperor, good sixth brother. I have nothing to say." The eight kings looked at the emperor with deep meaning in their eyes, "From now on, nothing about the king of England has anything to do with Anbu. The twelve guards and Anbu All the hidden guards have the right to refuse any request from the emperor to investigate and protect the King of England. The responsibility rests solely with the king.”

"Eighth brother is supporting Yao'er?" The emperor shook his head, "Your brother is not dead yet, so don't rush to stand in line, Mu Yao is much smarter than you. Don't hunt birds all year round, your eyes will be pecked by eagles."

"Brother Huang, worry too much. The hidden guards do not participate in the battle for the throne, but only obey the order of the commander-in-chief and the emperor. The dark guards cannot and will not participate in this dirty fight." Eighth King narrowed his peach blossom eyes slightly, " I hope the King of England does not fall into the hands of the Clan Mansion!"

"The road to the throne has always been a road paved with blood. At present, it seems that the second and third are more suitable than the fourth and fifth. I have already set up this game, and it depends on how the two go. This big beam The country must always be handed over to those who have the ability to protect it."

"Brother Huang is still so ruthless, and I want to leave." The Eighth Prince put away the secret booklet in his hand, "Before leaving, let Brother Huang know, and brothers will settle accounts clearly. Since you are doing everything you can to protect your parents and children, he You will pay for the crimes you have committed. Your private treasury must be able to pay for the training costs and armaments of the secret guards. Just entrust Xin Yin to deliver the money to your younger brother's house. Farewell."

"Presumptuous! Eighth brother, is this the way you are talking to me?" The emperor thought of the fussy Eighth King, and had an ominous premonition, "Does the military supply department of Nanluo thirteen counties want it?"

"You don't need to worry about this, King Ze and Du Jiu will find a solution." The Eight Kings flicked the court clothes, opened the door and left.

Only the angry emperor and Xin Yin who were standing there were left behind. The emperor glared at Xin Yin, "Aren't you going to get out and stay here and plant flowers in the Hall of Mental Cultivation?"

"I don't dare, if the emperor wants to enjoy the flowers, the imperial garden is full of Yingying Yanyan, which is much better than the flowers planted by the minister." Xin Yin added fuel to the fire,
"You said that I have nothing to do with the secret guards in the future; then it is up to me which prince I support and which prince I don't like."

"Don't mess around, save me some trouble." The emperor threw the booklet at Xin Yin, "Stop your thoughts, don't hurt your old master without knowing it!"

"Your servant will be safe, don't worry." Xin Yin put away his laughing face, and looked at the emperor seriously, "The King of England is selfish, so it's difficult to do big things. If the beam is handed over to him, there will really be no peace. Minister Mu Xinyin, as long as I live, I will never be a minion of the King of England! I also resign!"

Xin Yin flicked the dust off his clothes and walked away.

"It's wrong, it's against you! One by one, it's stupid!" The emperor's roar and the crisp sound of the teacup falling to the ground came from the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

The British king who caused the dispute among the emperor, the eight kings, and Xin Yin is currently in Linzhi Palace, the bedroom of his mother and concubine, Mrs. Dezhuang.

Concubine Dezhuang was naturally happy to see her son.Busy to tell the roster of beautiful girls these days and my own calculations.

Unexpectedly, Li Shi, who was devoted to his son's sake, did not get his son's approval, and instead was generalized by his son.

Li Shi squeezed the handkerchief tightly in his hand, waved the servant back, stared at his son tightly, endured and endured, and still couldn't help asking,
"Say it again? Who do you want to marry as your wife?"

"My son doesn't want a girl from the Lu family. What my son wants to marry is a concubine from the Chen family." The King of England ignored Mrs. Dezhuang's anger, and said word by word, "I don't want her to marry my son."

"Okay, I don't want to marry unless she is the only one!" Li Shi threw the teacup in his hand at his son, "I have taught you for nothing and loved you for nothing for so many years. Your mother and concubine have been excluded for so many years. All the grievances you have suffered are in vain. You are trying to anger Bengong! Chen Minxian, Chen Minxian, everything is Chen Minxian, even Bengong's son misses her Chen Minxian's niece!"

Speaking of Li Siqin, the imperial concubine of Dezhuang, there are three women she hates the most in her life.It wasn't the queen who no longer asked right and wrong in the palace, nor the queen mother who summoned her into the palace, but the three women who had been playing games with her.

The first one was Lu Rongjing who had been biting her and framing her for killing the emperor's heir.Lu Rongjing had a miscarriage back then, and she was bewitched by someone, so she had been deliberately trying to deal with her.From fighting for favor, to being reused by the family, and then to heirs, she always wants to be right with her.

It's a pity that Lu Rongjing's fate is not good, and she has no children, no matter how strong she is, her fate is not as good as her fate.Having a son is better than anything else in this palace.

The second person Li Siqin hates is Du Shiniang, the noble concubine of Yaohua Palace.Du Shi was the last to enter the palace, but he came from behind.Since she was a concubine, she has been suppressing herself, and the two times she was punished have nothing to do with her.And now she is also a noble concubine, but Du Shi is the one who holds the Phoenix seal, so how can she not grit her teeth with hatred.

What's more, the Du family has a favorite and a son, and her natal family has been reused by the emperor these years.One Du Xianyu has given credit to many members of the Li family.What's more, Mrs. Du has three sons, killed one Mu Yao, and has two younger ones.

Speaking of Du Shi, Li Siqin wanted to scratch her goblin face.

But compared to the previous two, what she hates the most is Chen Minxian who pretends to be kind and doesn't fight or snatch, but always discourages her.

Chen Minxian was no more favored than her and Lu Rongjing in her early years, but she has always been treated differently by the emperor.For so many years, the emperor didn't spend much time in Chen Minxian's palace, but Chen Minxian had the magic power to convince the people in the palace. She managed the harem for many years and pulled out many nails that she had secretly planted.He ruined so many good things for her, and in the end he suppressed Chen Minxian and became a noble concubine, but he had to listen to a lady in everything.

Right now, to choose a concubine for her son, she would rather marry the Lu family, who has one thing to say and another to say two things, rather than join forces with a duplicity like the Chen family who pretends to be a good person.

"The Lu family has the military power, the Li family has help, and what the Chen family has, let your mother and concubine me see and see."

"Mother and concubine, no matter how good the military power of the Lu family is, it is not something that a son and a prince can easily get." Seeing his mother and concubine getting angry, the King of England couldn't help but put his hands on his forehead, "Don't mother and concubine understand? Letting any one of the son and the third younger brother become bigger, will it threaten the imperial power?"

"No, no." Li Shi covered her chest. After so many years of drafting, the emperor did not show any intention of bringing people into the palace. He often just wanted to choose a few low-status people to enter the palace.These beautiful women are often short-lived after entering the palace, and they are thrown aside by the emperor after the first time they serve in bed.

But she had forgotten how keen the emperor was to marry the family, and how ruthlessly he was able to punish the family.Even his own son can be eradicated as long as it threatens his throne.The first prince back then, now the fourth prince.

The eldest prince of the Ning family back then, it seemed that the queen mother was determined to win over the children of the Ning family.In fact, it is a game between the queen mother and the emperor.The Empress Dowager was dissatisfied with the dwindling power and the Xiao family's decline, so she came up with the idea of ​​raising a prince and forcing the emperor to abdicate.

But before the arrangements could be made in the future, the child in Ning's womb was conceived. Others didn't know about it, and thought it was the Queen Mother's hand, even Ning's thought so.

But they didn't know that the queen mother was just taking the blame for the emperor she raised.The emperor will not allow the queen mother's conspiracy to succeed, and cut it off from the source.

She didn't know this, but when she went back to Yongshou Palace, she forgot to honor the Queen Mother with the round fan that honored the Queen Mother. After turning back the same way, she found out that she overheard the casual chat between the Queen Mother and her aunt in the Queen Mother's Palace.

She can only rot in her stomach.After so many years, today, I suddenly remembered this one.The emperor is afraid that he has plans to do something to the Lu family.

"What is mother and concubine running away from? Your son and you can speak to the emperor's decision?" King Ying couldn't help laughing when he saw his mother's concubine's pale face.

Sometimes, he really envied Mu Yao. Mu Yao had a smart concubine who knew how to judge the situation, and helped Mu Yao to do a lot of things behind the scenes.Unlike his mother and concubine, who always make trouble for herself.

But no matter what, this is also my mother and concubine, so I will remind her a few more times if I can mention it, so as not to spoil my big event.

"Your father's grade is enough to be the father of a girl from the Lu family, really!" Li Shi lowered her head to cover up, but decided not to tell her son the old secret.

"It will be a matter of time before the Lu family's military power is taken back. If the concubine mother is unwilling to choose a girl from the Chen family, she can follow the concubine Jia's example and show her son the daughter of the court."

"No, my son, the daughter of a noble family, still wants it. Don't worry, my son, this girl from the Chen family, my mother and concubine will beg for you. It's just that you have wronged your cousin. You have to treat your cousin well. "

"My son woke up. The side concubine wronged my cousin. But my cousin started first. In the future, my king's sons will all be born of my cousin."

"That's about the same. I've spoken the truth. It's not in vain. Your cousin always looks forward to seeing you every time she enters the palace."

"Mother and concubine, after talking about my son, have you made any progress with the fifth brother?" King Ying didn't mind asking a few more questions about his stupid brother.

"The Nalan family is like a frightened bird right now. The concubine and the concubine Du are very defensive, so they can only take it slowly." Si Li thought of the cautious Nalan family, "There is a girl in the side of Li's family who is also running for election this year. The concubine will try again. Try it out."

"Let Mother and Concubine worry about it." King Ying put down the teacup, and put on the warm jade found on Zhuque Street in Yujing, and put it on Li Shi. "Mother and Concubine wears warm jade to take care of her body on weekdays."

"You, you know how to make mother and concubine happy. Mother and concubine are only your son, who are you planning to do for you?" Li Shi touched the jade bracelet tied by his son on his wrist and smiled.

That night, the emperor came to Yaohua Palace.

Through the screen, Shi Niang discussed with the emperor the candidates for his son-in-law and the marriage of his little niece.As expected by Shi Niang and Mu Yao, the emperor was very happy when he heard of Shi Niang's candidate.

"Girl is a sensible person, don't choose the beautiful daughters of those three families. Everyone knows that the prince is married, and most of the first wives come from aristocratic families. You just don't play the cards according to the routine, it's wonderful!" The emperor clapped his hands on the couch in defense Xiaowa, his tenth son.

"Your Majesty, please don't make fun of me. You know that my family was not originally a family, with centuries of accumulation. However, the elders in the family learned the way of teaching daughters from the family to teach the children in the family. When I was young, I was often taught by the nanny. At that time, I I just thought, when I have a son in the future, I don't want to find a daughter-in-law from an aristocratic family to torture Yao'er and torment myself."

"The daughter-in-law has always respected her mother-in-law. As a royal, are you afraid that you won't be able to overwhelm the daughter-in-law from an aristocratic family?" The emperor smiled, not believing Shi Niang's words.

What Shi Niang said is true, whether her family is an aristocratic family, but as a family of generals, it has been passed down for a hundred years, and the rules and manners of the family are no worse than those of the aristocratic family.There is even an extra sense of mellowness and judging the situation, which is more attractive than the pedanticness of women from aristocratic families.

"Chenqie is not that intolerable. Marrying a daughter-in-law for a son is to make the child's life comfortable. Since you want to listen to the truth, then Chenqie should boldly talk about Chenqie's consideration as a mother." Shi Niang bit Gritting his teeth, "Yao'er's temperament is really unpleasant, too gloomy, and he has too many responsibilities. The concubine just wants him to have a confidant, so that his life will not be so tiring. Forgive me, it's exhausting."

"You are honest and dare to say anything." The emperor smiled, "Shi Niang is still the same Shi Niang. Now that you have said it, let's finish it. I will not blame you for telling the truth."

"Your Majesty may not be very clear about Yao'er's body. In the past few years, you have used him so much that he insisted on going to the battlefield, so my concubine did not find a chance to confess to you. His body looks like an ordinary person, but After two battles in a row, it will be difficult for him in the end."

"Is there any Xuan Tai doctor for diagnosis and treatment?" The emperor asked, he still valued Mu Yao very much.

"For this kind of thing, Imperial Physician Xuan undoubtedly embarrassed Yao'er even more. Do you remember the accident when he fell off a horse when he was seven years old?" Shi Niang deliberately paused before continuing, "Back then, Xin Yin and Xiao Hei used Gu and poison were used together to save his life and legs. He has been recuperating all these years, but he looks no different from outsiders. But the pills he takes every day are probably more than ordinary people in his entire life."

"I don't know, I'm sorry for him." The emperor was silent for a long while.

"There is a sequelae of using Gu. I knew it back then, but I kept it from you alone. One is that I didn't know it when I was treating you, and the other is that I was afraid that you would not agree to such a risky method. I just want to ask you one thing, what do you think? From the 14th year to the birth of the ninth princess in the 22nd year, what is the situation of your children during these years?"

"For nearly eight years, no one in the royal family has been born. Is it true that I can't guess it?" The emperor sighed. It's over. It's hard for Yao's son to succeed, but it doesn't mean there's no chance. You've been holding it in your heart all these years, is it okay?"

"I can't help it. How do you want me to tell you that you and Yao'er were the ones who were rescued and killed by me?" Shi Niang sobbed softly.

"Don't cry. If you cry during the confinement period, you will get sick. I still want to be with you for a long time, teach Xiaoliu and Xiaoshi, and watch Yao'er marry a wife and have children. You have to take good care of your body."

"The only reason why the concubine likes the girl is that her natal heirs are prosperous, and she hopes to bring good luck to Yao'er. Seeing from the heart of the concubine for Yao'er, you should agree."

"Played by Zhunqing." The emperor patted the tenth prince's head, "In exchange, let the fourth girl of the Du family point it out to Mu Yunming. To help me stabilize the Bai family in Beijing, the Du family can definitely do it. I also agreed to Yao'er's request. You should rest well, and I will go to the side hall to see Xiaojiu."

It was night, and the emperor stayed at Xu Wanyi's side hall of Yaohua Palace.

"Daliang Ruidi Benji" contains: In April of the 25th year of Xijia, during the general election, the emperor ordered four people to enter the palace, including the daughter of the Lu family. Among the four, the daughter of the Lu family had the highest status. Live in Zhongcui Palace.On the same day, the emperor appointed Chen and Li as the main concubines and side concubines of King Ying, and gave the daughter of Sang Linyun, the envoy of Nangong and salt transportation, as the main wife of King Ze.At the same time, the daughter of the Chen family and the daughter of the Du family also pointed to the marriage. They respectively pointed to the marriage of Du Zicheng, the ninth son of the Du family, and Mu Yunming, the former son of the Fengyang Prince.
