After rebirth, I made the princes cry

Yingshu knows what Qinhuai opera is.

She was a woman who made a career of singing and dancing on the banks of the Qinhuai River. She felt that the Changshi had seriously underestimated her common sense. In front of the emperor, she talked eloquently: "Although Qinhuai girls mostly perform in brothels, these girls In addition to making a living, people always have leisure time. At that time, my father and brothers and I were out in the spring, and we would see Qinhuai dancers singing and dancing on the banks of the stream and dikes, playing the harp, drums and harp. All the nobles and common people were watching. No one thought it was vulgar, especially my father. Do you know how to play music for those performers? Why don’t I know about the Qinhuai performers? Yes, they all belong to the lower class, and no powerful family members invite them as guests, but the world appreciates their skills very much, and when they are interested , who cares about dignity and inferiority? It has nothing to do with differences in life experience."

Shi Zhongchang blushed because he was a eunuch, and he really confused tricks with prostitutes.

However, the waiter Zhongchang insisted: "Even so, there is no reason for a middle-aged girl to go in and out of a brothel."

Yingshu was happy: "Who said you have to go to the brothel in person to investigate the case? It's so inconvenient for me, but I have plenty of manpower. It's just that I'm not in the palace. Fortunately, they are not in the palace, so I can do it easily."

"I'll leave this matter to you, but no matter what you find, don't tell anyone, just report it to me directly." The emperor made up his mind.

Yingshu was happy to take on this task and resigned with joy. Zhongchang was shocked again and shook her head: "As long as Jiankang Palace is here, there is an old slave in Jiankang Palace. The old slave has seen a lot of people. Among women, there really is no such thing as the Queen's Prisoner. Your Majesty will leave this case to Empress Jian, and I'm afraid Empress Jian will have to shirk it."

"Jian Bin's thoughts are not on me at all." The emperor said calmly: "I also know in my heart that in this inner court, let's talk about Jian Bin, how do I treat the queen? If I didn't think about the love between husband and wife for so many years, I really shouldn't think that I Do you dare to despise her, your first wife? The older you get, the colder your heart becomes. I have feelings for the queen, but this affection has gradually changed from the feeling of joy, but joy is nothing. What? How did I treat Concubine Jiang, and how did I treat the Queen.

Forget it, Concubine Jian has no desire to compete for my favor and has no affection for me. However, as a courtier, she is impeccable in terms of character and behavior. After all, she has Shiro. In many things, it is right to consider Shiro's safety first. , compared to Concubine Jian, the one who makes me feel colder is Mrs. Qiao. "

The regular servant became more and more confused. He was clearly talking about the Queen's concubine, so why did he get His Majesty to talk about the Queen, Concubine Jian, and Concubine Qiao? His original intention was actually very simple. He just felt that the Queen was working too hard, she just took pleasure in facing difficulties, and she was really courageous.

Yingshu was still planning how to find out who was blaming little friend Wansu, but on this day, she was summoned by Li Bin again.

Li Bin treated her to a delicious meal and gave her a lot of jewelry. She also explained: "Don't worry, Emperor Xiu. This is my Mid-Autumn Festival gift for you. I have already reported it to the police. You can do it too." I want to ask your Majesty directly for confirmation. I have nothing to bother you, just one thing. Your Majesty has not favored me for a long time. You brought me up when you saw the opportunity, and your Majesty remembered me. I swear, I really miss your Majesty. No. Other intentions."

Li Bin made Ying Shu somewhat incompetent.

So I just reported the gift given by Li Bin to the Zhongchang Shi. The Zhongchang Shi was not surprised and was quite happy to tell Yingshu some inside information: "This Li Concubine is really strange. One day, she appeared in front of His Majesty. He praised His Highness the Seventh Highness vigorously, but he praised His Highness for being good at cooking. His Majesty was stunned. His Majesty then tried it and said that His Highness is still the most filial. Those who are not filial must be unvirtuous, but those who are the most filial can only be taught strictly. Guan, there is a high hope that he can be both filial and virtuous, but what does Li Concubine say? At such an older age, His Majesty the Seventh Prince knows nothing about filial piety. He just has a hobby of cooking. As long as he makes a new dish, he will be happy eating it. , giving it away to people everywhere, the eunuchs and maids tasted it before Your Majesty."

Zhong Chang Shi also told Ying Shu something: "Earlier, Li Concubine was still jealous of Shi Concubine. Especially after His Majesty pardoned Shi Concubine, Li Concubine directly blocked the imperial driver on the road and forced His Majesty to pull him away. I went to her residence and asked His Majesty why it was unfair. His Majesty just sighed and said that she had no choice but to be forced to do so. Unexpectedly, Empress Li immediately turned from anger to joy and said, Your Majesty only gave Shi Concubine leniency for the sake of the overall situation. She didn't care at all, and she would never harm His Majesty's plan. Indeed, just after that day, Li Concubine took the initiative to express her goodwill to Shi Concubine. She said that she should not be sad for Shi Concubine. It was really not possible, so she asked His Highness Seventh Prince to recognize Shi Concubine. If Concubine Shi is the biological mother, the worst she can do is try to give birth to a princess. If Concubine Shi really likes girls, she can change her back."

Yingshu:......

She finally understood that Li Bin had an innocent and innocent temperament.

In his previous life, His Majesty passed away, and Concubine Li actually committed suicide. This kind of thing is very conspiratorial, but the seventh prince has survived in good health, and was only granted the title of county prince, but after business Come on, it's a big restaurant.

Sikong Beichen told Yingshu at that time that Concubine Li was probably killed by Concubine Qiao, and it was not Sikong Wupei that he trusted. He trusted Yingshu's mother clan. The Jiangdong Lu family would never help Sikong Wupei seize the throne.

Yingshu was still making plans. In Wangchuan Pavilion, Concubine Jian heard a piece of news. The news came from Xinsu Mansion. A maid in Xinsu Mansion, Baoqin, had met Wang Siniang twice recently, and Baoqin frequently appeared in Taicheng. , her behavior was so strange, she was reported to Concubine Jian by other servants.

Jiankang Palace is also called Taicheng, but Jiankang Palace is divided into several major areas, so Taicheng has a narrow division, that is, the outer palace city, such as Yongfu Province where the princes live, are all in the area of ​​Taicheng in the narrow sense. , the area delineated by the inner city gate belongs to the inner palace city, but the inner palace city is further divided into the outer dynasty and the inner dynasty, and the inner dynasty is further divided into the middle court and the inner court.

The palaces and pavilions where the concubines live are all in the inner court, which is the most strictly controlled area. The Qianyuan Hall is located in the middle court of the inner court. Foreign ministers can enter this area. So for the outer court, the palace family members are not allowed to enter unless there are special exceptions. What is allowed to get involved in, and for the outer palace city, the control of prohibited activities is relatively complicated.

Many official offices of the imperial court are actually located in the outer palace city. Officials can enter with their official talismans, but after all, there are many internal palace offices in the outer palace city. The eunuchs need to go out of the palace to purchase, and all they need are their official talismans, and even the princes. The palace is also in this area. The slaves of the prince's palace are not allowed to enter the palace city without special permission, but they can go out of the city with the command talisman. Jian Bin then knows that Baoqin is a person wearing the command talisman, but she also feels strange Surprised.

Just ask the fourth prince Fu Mu - she is the only slave in the Xinsu Mansion who can enter the inner court.

"Where does this Baoqin come from?"

"The old slave didn't know what was going on. He only knew that His Highness suddenly brought him back. She was the maidservant in His Majesty's dormitory. According to the old slave, her appearance was really ordinary. She didn't look like a geisha, but more like a rough servant who knew a little bit. Advance and retreat, but there are thick calluses on the fingertips, which are very different from the piano calluses."

"Hold the qin, it's the one who holds the qin, not the one who plays it." Jian Bin frowned. She understood her son. He seemed unruly, but in fact he was cautious. He never paid much attention to matters of love, and was even quite distant. Woman, I don’t think what I said makes sense... Although there is no evil of bullying, there is no tenderness of pity and cherishment. There is probably another purpose for keeping such a woman by my side.

"Don't worry about it. Just keep an eye on where she goes and who she comes into contact with. You can tell me secretly. If Shiro comes back...he will handle these things himself, so I won't be too lazy to worry about it."

Beware that the palace was not so peaceful, Queen Yu went to the Qianyuan Hall again, and was "lucky" by the queen. Sikong Tong could not refuse, and finally went to the Xianyang Hall. At a glance, the maid serving him was wearing heavy makeup. She was wearing a gauze dress, with her peony red crotch close to her flesh, and Sikong Tong's brows were tied in a tight knot.

For many years, the queen has always been like this. If she has something to do, she will send someone from the palace to "reward" him first.

As an emperor, does he really need such a reward?

Queen Yu was still unaware of it, leaving the disheveled maid kneeling beside her. She smiled and said, "I only have a few words to say, so I won't disturb your majesty's rest."

Si Kongtong really wanted to sigh.

But he has been patient for at least twenty years. It is really unnecessary to fall out at this time. Just listen to Queen Yu's long story.

"It's A Liu. In the past few days, she always takes Lian'er to visit the Shenyuan Palace. She knows that the Lord of the Palace is busy reciting historical records. Although there are already many female historians helping her, A Liu's thoughts are all over the place. She wanted Lian'er to gain more knowledge, and she saw that Dianjun seemed to be quite unfamiliar with Yifan's affairs, and thought that if Nvyi had to give guidance on everything, Dianjun might feel embarrassed sometimes. After all, A Liu is a married woman in the palace. In terms of age, she is also considered the elder of the palace monarch. No matter what the palace monarch wants to ask her for advice, it is much cheaper than asking other female officials.

A Liu is also worried that the palace lord has just arrived and does not understand the complicated personnel affairs in the palace, such as Hanguang Palace and Changfeng Palace. His motives are really unpredictable, and the maids of Shenyuan Palace cannot guarantee that they will bribe and threaten them. If someone instigates a dissension in the ear of the palace lord, and there is no one around him who can discuss it, he cannot help but listen to the instigation and be taken advantage of by them. With A Liu here, the maids will not say anything, but they are really not afraid of gain. A Liu can also be on guard against sin.

I know that A Liu actually has her own considerations. She made a mistake last time. For the sake of Lian'er's future, she almost harmed the child Di Xiu. His Majesty was annoyed with her and demoted her to a talented person. She knew her mistake. Yes, but Your Majesty also has to think about her. Any concubine who gives birth to a prince is not a concubine. What's more, A Liu is an old man in Qiandi, so she doesn't care about her own dignity and always has to make plans for Liu Lang. of.

As for His Majesty's plan, I did not tell A Liu in detail. A Liu also thought that the Lord Dian must be the future Crown Princess. She wanted to take advantage of the situation and let Lian'er get closer to the Lord. Out of her kindness, I was hesitant to talk about this matter, so I didn't agree to her first, but I thought about it, in case the emperor listened to the provocation and didn't want to publish those recited historical records. The code is dedicated to the imperial court. Isn't this a great disadvantage to the country? It's better to let Lian'er memorize it as well, which can be considered as a precautionary measure. "

The emperor just felt that as he listened, callouses grew in his ears. What he couldn't bear the most was listening to the Queen's self-righteous analysis of the current situation and long speeches. However, Queen Yu did not realize it and always made simple things complicated. He will inevitably say something that makes him laugh or cry. As expected, what ability does Zheng's daughter have to memorize all those historical records and laws? Even if Zheng's daughter has this ability, the king of his country will send a chosen daughter to Shenyuan. What's the matter with the palace "stealing" the historical records and codes of previous dynasties?

"Okay, I understand. Doesn't Mrs. Liu just want to take Mrs. Zheng's daughter to show her favor to Lord Shenyuan Palace? There's nothing wrong with that. The Queen remembers to tell them both not to get into trouble, especially Mrs. Zheng. Girl, if she wants to try the position of female historian, she can, but she must get permission from the palace monarch, and don’t do those sneaky things."
