Rebirth as Princess Jin again

When the Queen Mother returned to Beijing, not only the princes, courtiers, but also the Emperor had to go to the palace gate to greet her. Although the Queen Mother was not the emperor's biological mother, the emperor's biological mother died young at that time. The current Queen Mother was already the empress at that time, so Situ Lin was fostered by the queen. under the name.

Prince Su, as the legitimate son of the Queen, was the most promising to succeed the crown prince. However, the late emperor felt that he was young and powerful and wanted to cultivate his sons, so he was not in a hurry to establish a crown prince and allowed the princes to fight openly and secretly. In the end, Prince Su was injured. After losing an eye, the queen and the Zhao family had no choice but to support their adopted son Situ Lin to win the throne of prince.

In order to avoid learning from the past, Situ Lin made his eldest son Situ Yan the crown prince after he ascended the throne. He tried his best to cultivate Situ Yan and allowed the Wei family headed by the queen to expand their power, thus giving up the idea of ​​​​the concubines in the harem competing for the crown prince.

However, once the mouth of desire in a person's heart is opened, the desire will be like an abyss, always endless. The Wei family has tasted the benefits brought by power, and their vanity has gradually grown.

The Wei family has huge wealth and frontier military power, which gradually threatens the imperial power. Situ Lin has no choice but to recall Situ Jin from far away in southern Xinjiang, hoping that his appearance can balance the power of the Wei family.

After all, all the princes grew up in the capital and had no real power in their hands. Naturally, they could not compete with the Wei family. King Jin was the only prince with military power and military merit. Although he did not like this son, he could only temporarily compromise in the face of interests. .

Everyone looked forward to it and finally saw the Queen Mother's sedan slowly approaching the palace gate.

Although Situ Lin was not the Queen Mother's biological son, he respected the Queen Mother very much. When the Queen Mother's sedan was still dozens of meters away, Situ Lin strode forward with all the princes and princesses to greet her.

"I respectfully welcome the Queen Mother back to the palace!"

"My grandson welcomes the imperial grandmother back to the palace!"

"I respectfully welcome the Queen Mother back to the palace!"

Everyone knelt down and saluted, and their voices echoed throughout the sky.

The sedan slowly stopped, and a woman wearing a gorgeous dress embroidered with gold and silver threads slowly walked down from the sedan holding the hand of the maid next to her. Her black hair was decorated with jade ornaments, and she looked calm and majestic. There is no loss of elegance and elegance.

Although there are fine wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, it can still be seen that the Queen Mother must have been a beauty when she was young.

She held the hand of the palace maid and walked to Situ Lin with a smile. She personally stretched out her hand to help the bowed Situ Lin up: "The emperor has many things to do, but he still comes to greet me, an old woman, in person. Thank you for your hard work!"

Then he said to the princes and princesses behind the emperor: "Get up, everyone!"

Su Ying then raised her head and looked at the woman in front of her. She had a kind face and a string of Buddhist beads in her hands. If it weren't for the majesty of her slightly upward phoenix eyes, she would be just like an ordinary grandmother.

Situ Lin placed the Queen Mother in the Yongshou Palace. Even though it was winter, hundreds of flowers were blooming inside, making it a colorful sight.

Bathed in the golden sunshine, the flowers are in great clusters, dazzling and dazzling. It takes a lot of effort from the gardener.

Before the Queen Mother stepped into the Yongshou Palace, she heard a woman's crisp voice outside the palace: "Aunt, I watched the people in this palace decorate the Yongshou Palace one by one according to your preferences. Are you satisfied? ?”

Chunlan had been following Su Ying, her eyebrows lowered and her eyes closed, not daring to express her anger. Now that she heard this voice, she felt that it was very familiar.

He quietly raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a young woman holding the Queen Mother's hand and walking forward, talking and laughing.

She was so frightened that she quickly lowered her head. It turned out that the woman was Zhao Zijun, the princess of Changrong Princess.

The Queen Mother gently patted Zhao Zijun's hand and said with a smile: "It turns out you are such a silly monkey. You always have many ideas. You also know my preferences, so the arrangements are naturally to my liking."

Then he looked sideways at Situ Lin next to him and said, "Emperor, this is the Zijun I often mentioned to you in my letters. Now that she has reached the age of marriageable age, she is still very naughty."

Situ Lin echoed from the side: "The princess is thoughtful and handsome. If the princess is satisfied with the young masters all over the capital, I will personally marry you!"

The Queen Mother looked at Zhao Zijun with a kind face and said, "Can you hear it? Even the emperor has spoken. If you see the person you like, you must tell the Ai family."

Zhao Zijun said shyly: "Aunt..."

Then Zhao Zijun waved to Hongling who was standing aside: "Aunt, I know you love to worship Buddha. The Bodhisattva in Xiangguo Temple is too big, so naturally it cannot be moved back. I went to pick one for you a few days ago. The best Jade Buddha, I present it to you."

After saying that, she handed over the jade Buddha, which was the one she snatched from Su Ying that day.

The Queen Mother twisted the beads in her hand, her eyes lit up when she saw the jade Buddha, and she praised: "You still have a heart!"

The Queen Mother suddenly looked at the prince and princess sitting below, looked at Situ Jin and said, "This...is Jin'er?"

Situ Jin stepped forward and saluted: "My grandson pays homage to the imperial grandmother!"

"Okay... okay... you have grown so big now!" The Queen Mother's face was filled with love. She turned to look at Su Ying, who was standing next to Situ Jin with her eyes lowered, and said, "Is this your princess?"

Situ Jin nodded, and Su Ying stepped forward and said, "See the Imperial Grandmother!"

Hearing this voice, Zhao Zijun's expression changed and he stared at Su Ying for a long time.

The Queen Mother looked at her carefully, nodded and said: "Now that Lao Qi is married and has children, the Ai family is really old. Lao Qi has been away from the capital for many years, but now he has helped the emperor a lot as soon as he returned to the capital, and he has married a good wife. princess."

Then he looked at the other princes: "You brothers are all about the same age. Now even the seventh child has married a princess. The remaining few cannot be left behind."

The Queen Mother looked at the gifts handed over by everyone, and her eyes fell on a thick roll of paper. She motioned to the maid next to her to take the stack of paper. It turned out to be a copy of a Buddhist scripture.

The maid whispered a few words in her ear, and the Queen Mother's eyes fell on Su Ying again, and she said with a kind expression: "Princess Jin is really a wonderful person. Knowing that the Ai family likes to worship Buddha, she actually copied such a large volume of Buddhist scriptures. I must have put a lot of thought into it, this gift is very much what the Ai family wants.”

Hearing the Queen Mother's praise of Su Ying, Zhao Zijun felt very uncomfortable, and immediately said: "If my aunt likes Buddhist scriptures, I will have all the Buddhist scriptures copied. Who can give such shabby gifts these days and be reluctant to spend a tael of silver? Is it possible for the Jin Palace? Can’t you even come up with the money for gifts?”

Zhao Zijun was already angry when he was humiliated by Su Ying on the street, but now he would not let go of such a good opportunity.

The Queen Mother's face changed slightly, and she said in a deep voice: "Although Princess Jin did not give anything valuable, her calm nature is indeed worthy of recognition. Zijun, please apologize to Princess Jin quickly."

"I..." Zhao Zijun wanted to say something else, but when she saw the Queen Mother's clearly angry face, she felt sad and aggrieved. Now that she had just returned to the capital, the Queen Mother criticized her in front of so many people, and she was unwilling to do so. Yuandi knelt down towards Su Ying and said stiffly: "Please forgive me, Princess Jin!"

Su Ying returned the favor and said, "The Princess' words are serious."

The atmosphere in the palace was a little awkward when Zhao Zijun made such a fuss. The Queen Mother looked tired and said: "The Ai family is old and we are tired after sitting for a long time. You all should go back first!"

Everyone then stood up and saluted, and the Queen Mother naturally rewarded the princes with gifts.
