Biography of Concubine Shujia

Chapter 164

In Yaohua Palace, the emperor looked at Shi Niang, who was so petty, pinched her cheek, and said softly, "Don't make trouble, I have business to discuss with you. There are some troubles in Nanjiang. You help me make up my mind. "

"I said why does the emperor go to the gate of my Yaohua Palace? It turns out that there is nothing to go to the Three Treasures Palace." Shi Niang stroked the emperor's hand, "Isn't everything in southern Xinjiang under your control?"

"I just like to talk to you girl, and talk to smart people, but there are not so many twists and turns." The emperor patted Shi Niang's hand,
"Dinner first, I will tell you later."

"If you eat at my place, you can't go to other people's. The emperor can think clearly, I'm very jealous."

"It's true that you have a mouth that makes people love and hate it." The emperor squinted his eyes and smiled, "It's not easy for you to admit that you are jealous. In the early years, you used a different method to push me out. Now As the deputy queen, she doesn't say so many rules, she just let her temper."

"Isn't it good?" Shi Niang glared at the emperor, "I'm thinking about it, those people in the court, watching me push you out, all scolded me as a charmer. From time to time, I read the impeachment book Gong, anyway, this crime is valid in their eyes, isn't it good if it is confirmed?"

"I've wronged you." The emperor took a dish with chopsticks and put it on the small plate in front of Ten Niang, "How about serving the imperial concubine for dinner today?"

"Then let Sixth Brother do it." Shi Niang smiled brightly, making the emperor's eyes tighten.

This seductive smile is completely different from the youthful and sweet smile she had when she entered the palace.This person has also changed from the energetic little girl back then to a restrained and mature woman, his woman.No matter what it turns into, it can touch the Emperor's heart.

The imperial concubine finished her dinner quietly and entered the side hall.

Yaohua Palace is one of the most prosperous palaces in the Sixth West Palace, not to mention how luxurious it is.Rather, this palace has been used as the palace of the noble concubine since the concubine Jia entered the palace in the eighth year of Xijia.It has been 15 years since she moved into the main hall ten years after she gave birth to the third prince and the seventh prince.

In the 21st year of Xijia, Concubine Shu, the head of the four concubines, rejected the emperor's arrangement to move to the palace.It has been almost six years now.

Over the years, the emperor has also figured out the temperament of the noble concubine, and the Yaohua Palace easily has no newly promoted beautiful women to stay.The only one, Xu Wanyi, also has a quiet temperament, and she has been in the palace for many years without being favored.

If it wasn't for the Xu family who was always there when the imperial concubine entered the palace, the emperor would not have thought about this woman every time he was promoted.

Later, the Ninth Prince was entrusted to Xu's care.Xu does not fight, but he is not stupid.The Ninth Prince is two years younger than the Sixth Prince and two years older than the Tenth Prince.The child who was a little over two years old was well-bred by the Xu family, and he was very close to the sixth prince, and he also liked to come to the main hall to see the concubine Jiamu and the tenth prince.

The Ninth Prince didn't like him, but under the care of Concubine Jia, he wouldn't be bullied.

It's not impossible to keep him and be a playmate for the younger son.But more, it's beyond what their mother and son can think about.

In the final analysis, the emperor was still angry at the fact that the ninth prince's biological mother, Xiao Nalan, had betrayed him and colluded with the fourth prince.But the damned one is dead, and the one who should be imprisoned is also imprisoned.If you can't get along with a child, the emperor won't do it.What's more, his imperial concubine and wife had already saved the child before he had time to make arrangements.

Followed Concubine Jia to the side hall to see the Tenth Prince, and listened to Concubine Jia inquire about the Ninth Prince.The two of them took each other back to the bedroom in the main hall.

The emperor has not stayed in Yaohua Palace for some days. One is that Concubine Jia is busy helping him sort out the papers during the day and taking care of the children at night, so she is also alienating him intentionally or unintentionally; the other is to balance the court and harem, he stays more in Concubine Degui's Palace , will also favor some people pushed by Concubine Degui.

Unexpectedly, the restlessness in the Queen's backyard gave him an opportunity to go further with Concubine Jia.The emperor is such a shrewd person, how could he fail to see that Concubine Jia was deliberately showing weakness, but he still took advantage of this ghost girl's trick.

After expressing love, the emperor stroked the smooth back of the man in his arms, chatting casually with Shi Niang.

Shi Niang lay in the emperor's arms, listening to the emperor chatting about the incident in southern Xinjiang.To do her job, the relationship with the emperor is not just a simple husband and wife or subject relationship, they are more often a collaborator and an alliance of interests.

The emperor was also willing to discuss some decisions of the empire with Shi Niang.Compared with the previous Nangong Salt Reform, the Northwest War and the recovery of Fengcheng, the two guarded and tested each other, but there was less suspicion and more trust in each other.

"You mean, in southern Xinjiang, the second girl is holding down the fourth girl." Shi Niang was not surprised by the content of the news.

The second princess, Mu Jingning, was a married imperial daughter after all. When she married into the Xiao family, she was able to control her husband, was loved by her husband's family, and had given birth to a son-in-law.The means are not bad, the difference lies in luck.

It's also because her father was cruel enough to wipe out all the Xiao family except for the three women.She lost everything she had worked so hard for, and also lost her last support, her adoptive mother and queen who avoided living in the Ganye Temple.

Compared with her, the fourth princess is far behind.The fourth princess was born weak, and her mother, Concubine Ning De, was spoiled, making her a complete novice at fighting in the backyard.

Therefore, when the emperor chooses someone to marry far away, the third imperial daughter was originally appointed by default, and the newly widowed second princess will follow as a maid.The fourth princess was not considered at the beginning, because the emperor saw the weakness of the fourth princess in internal affairs.

However, the concubine of the fourth princess and the concubine of the second princess kept going, and the forces behind the eldest princess and other forces got involved, disrupting the emperor's plan.The fourth princess had to be married to the prince of Nanjiang, and the second princess who lost her virginity could only be given to the prince of Nanjiang as a small official as a court lady.

It is said to be a small official, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that it is Jiulang, the eldest son of Nanjiang.It would be a blessing if the two sisters watched and helped each other.But the two sisters, because of the estrangement in the incident of the far-away marriage, did not join hands to help the emperor win over the Southern Xinjiang heir Jiulang in a foreign country.Instead, each staged a drama of fighting for favor and fierceness for their own affairs.

"The fourth girl is really no match for the second girl." The emperor held his forehead, "Fortunately, she occupies the position of the main wife, otherwise I don't even know how she died."

"Jiulang, the eldest son of Nanjiang, is smart. He knows that the two provocative girls will fight hard for him, and he also knows when to strike. It's just a pity that the fourth girl has been tricked, and I'm afraid I'm still thinking about how to use it. The piece of meat in the second girl's stomach turned over."

"You can see it at one point." The emperor patted Shi Niang's head, "In the southern border, the eldest prince's son was killed, and he has lost the chance to ascend the throne. It depends on whether he is ruthless enough to stand up and compete with his younger brother. The prince did clarify that the miscarriage was a concubine's room, and the news that the first wife's fetus is healthy. The high priest is quite capable and has stabilized the situation for the time being."

"It won't last long. The high priest is capable, and he can't stand the instigation of someone with a heart. Can you see that the southern border is safe and sound?"

"Girl who knows me, tell me, what's the next situation?" the emperor asked after praising her.

"The eldest prince's only son was murdered, his forces will definitely not let it go, and will definitely investigate. The results of this investigation will definitely satisfy the eldest prince. What's more, the crown prince is pregnant at this juncture. How do you think, the crown prince's The suspicion will not be small. Just wait for the truth of either of these two to be revealed, and the southern border will not be stable, and the high priest will be unable to recover, and then the southern border will be in chaos."

"It's a mess, it's not broken, it's not established." The emperor laughed, "Southern Xinjiang has been around Nanluo for so many years. If you inquire about news and disturb our people, you will really be dead."

"The people of Southern Xinjiang are brave, but they are not invincible. What is frightening is that the people of Southern Border are good at gu, and our girders are not good at it. Otherwise, the emperor wouldn't have waited so long and planned for so long."

"It's also the end of Southern Xinjiang's life, and the civil strife that is about to start is ridiculous. It all stems from the 'children and grandchildren' that Nanjiang has observed for generations. The selection of the heir to the throne is not only about the prince, but also the ability of the emperor and grandson."

"Setting up sons to see grandchildren? This custom, let alone it, has some meaning." Shi Niang casually teased the emperor, "You might as well try it, but it seems that you have to wait for many years. Starting from our little six, the following strings are all Still a baby."

"What can a child see?" The emperor didn't care much about this custom. "Compared to those below, Xiao Liu is much more sensible. He is also smart. You and Yao'er taught him very well."

"Your Majesty, don't bury your concubines. It's reasonable to say that his elder brother taught him. I didn't see that Xiaoliu didn't live in Yaohua Palace, so he went to live with Yao'er. Besides, you have taught him a lot on weekdays, right? You teach well."

"It will compliment me."

"Isn't it just that I want my concubine to praise you for teaching children? Let's not talk about Xiaoliu. Speaking of the Southern Border's 'establishing sons and grandchildren', it reminds me of the child of Princess Ying. It's a pity for King Ying this time. The imperial concubine can keep our royal blood."

"Little Li, hum!" The emperor breathed coldly, "It's good for her. If it wasn't for the piece of meat in her stomach, how could I tolerate her?"

"What do you mean, the miscarriage of Princess Ying's baby is really related to the side concubine?" Ten Niang pretended to be surprised, "This is too cruel, she is pregnant with her own child, how could she think of courting someone else's child? Did you do it?"

"Are you ashamed to ask?" The emperor glared at Shi Niang, "Tell me if I punished you or not? I used to be alert, but this time there was a big mistake. Is a wise man always going to make a mistake?"

"You punished me well! I can't think of you praising the wise man, but I just think that this is sister De's grandson after all. She can watch her daughter-in-law have a miscarriage without protecting her? If the third daughter-in-law is pregnant, I can't wait to confess her, so I can see it with my own eyes."

"Ms. Li has always been inconspicuous. The upright daughter-in-law doesn't protect her, but she protects her side concubine from outside the country. It's likely that she turned a blind eye to this matter and helped erase the traces. Otherwise, it would be Xiao Li's method, dare to be so arrogant?"

"You mean to keep sister De, suppress the little Li family, and warn the Li family?" Ten Niang understood the emperor's plan in a flash.

Southern Xinjiang is in chaos, and the Chen family army is stationed in southern Xinjiang.The branch Chen family is an ally that the Du family cares more about than the main family Chen family; the military and political minister stationed in Nanluo is his younger brother Du Jiu, and the salt transport envoy is the daughter-in-law's father. son.

It is impossible for the emperor to allow the Du family and Yao'er to dominate, then the king of England will have to go to the battlefield, and maybe the fifth son who has a good relationship with the king of England will also go to southern Xinjiang.

Then, as the mother and concubine of the soon-to-be-conquered Prince Ying, Concubine Li, the noble concubine, cannot make mistakes, discredit her son, and discredit the royal family and the emperor.

But the Li family is indeed suspected of meddling with the emperor's heir, so the little Li family must be beaten.In order to shake the mountain and shake the tiger, I warned the Li family that royal affairs are not something that a small family can dictate.

The five great families of the past, joined by new forces to become the six great families, and now the families are withered, only the Lu, Li, and Chen families are left.The emperor's thoughts and wrists are not without viciousness.

What's more, of the three remaining families, the Chen family has already surrendered to the emperor and is a knife in the emperor's hand; the Lu family is law-abiding and disciplined, but the talents are not enough.Only the Li family was left, because Concubine Degui and the King of England were still cooking oil, and the flowers were blooming like brocade.

With the strength of the whole family, following the opportunity of myself and my sixth sister, the Du family, a family of military generals that returned to everyone's attention, successfully taught back the military power in the Northwest, but was pushed out because of the abundance of talents and my son. Fighting will consume Li Shi's vitality.At the same time, restrict the spread of the Du family's forces.

At present, the Li family can't fall, and it's not the time to get rid of the Li family.But in the battle of southern border, you might as well try to strike first and suppress the Li clan.

"It's good to understand. Don't worry about anything else. With Minxian here, there is still some sense of propriety. I was worried that the girl of the Sang family would be too straightforward, so I threw her in to practice." The emperor scolded with a smile, "Speaking of which, I can I'm ashamed to be angry with you. It's not that you protect your daughter-in-law, can I think of a way to get her into the game?"

"I just feel that following Yao'er has wronged this girl." Shi Niang closed her eyes, "Looking at her, I somehow feel reluctant. Compared with Jingyue, she is more considerate."

"Why did you wrong her after following Yao'er?" The emperor pinched Shi Niang's face amusedly, "In the royal family, side concubines always come in first, take concubines first and then marry wives. She is the first concubine to be favored all by herself, and she can do her best." My mother-in-law loves it. But you, I have never seen such a talkative mother-in-law."

"Yao'er's body, you know, I know, Yao'er knows it herself. But the child doesn't know that the offspring will be criticized by others, and the sewage will be poured on her. I just help her more and let her live in this palace. It’s just a matter of getting a foothold.”

"Xiao Liu and Xiao Shi, she took good care of them. Yao'er has been recuperating well these years, and she will have a child of her own." The emperor's eyes darkened, "Is this still blaming me?"

"It's been so many years, why do you still mention these things." Shi Niang smiled unnaturally, "You are doing it for the sake of your daughter-in-law, but I was thinking about it earlier."

"If you know your mistakes, you have to correct them. Next time, if you make a temper tantrum, I will..."

"What about Sixth Brother?" Ten Niang asked charmingly, "Punish me?"

"Punishment."

"How to punish?" Putting his arms around the man's neck, he raised his lips, "Is that so?"

night is still long...
