Rebirth as Princess Jin again

Summer is approaching, the weather is gradually getting hotter, and the summer cicadas hiding in the trees have begun to chirp in twos and threes.

The woman lying on the beauty's couch may have been disturbed by the summer insects, and her brows were slightly furrowed. Seeing this, the palace attendant asked softly: "Elder Princess, but the chirping of cicadas outside disturbed you?"

Situ Xue lazily opened his eyes, his delicate brows filled with displeasure: "Let me catch all those cicadas, and not even a single one is allowed to stay. I hate the sound of the cicadas the most."

"Yes!" The maid on the side agreed quickly, for fear of making the master in front of her dissatisfied.

The master had just returned to the capital not long ago. Although she was the eldest princess without her husband, the emperor's love for her did not diminish. Instead, he gave her a mansion, palace people, and all expenses were the same as before the marriage.

After a while, the chirping of cicadas outside gradually stopped. She supported her forehead with one hand and closed her eyes tightly. A maid behind her was gently shaking the fan in her hand.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard again in the hall that had been quiet for a while, and a brisk and rapid footsteps entered the inner hall and stopped in front of Situ Xue.

"Elder Princess, His Highness the Third is here!"

Not long after the maid's words fell, a slender figure walked into the palace, dressed in brocade and gorgeous clothes, with an evil smile on her lips.

"Queen!"

His footsteps stopped outside the screen. Situ Xue stood up and waved to the maid beside him. The palace instantly became quiet.

Situ Xue walked around the screen and looked at the man in front of her, with a hint of inquiry in her eyebrows.

"How did things go?"

Situ Yu raised his eyes and smiled: "With Sister Huang's secret recipe and my connections, things will naturally be handled smoothly."

Situ Xue nodded approvingly, with a contemptuous and mocking smile on her lips.

"Situ Jin definitely didn't expect that we would use this trick against him. Sometimes people shouldn't invest too much emotion in the people around them. The more they invest, the more weaknesses they will have."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Situ Yu aside: "It's true that my sister has misjudged the person. It must not be just me. I'm afraid that even the mother-in-law and father-in-law have misjudged the person. Everyone thinks you are a place where people hang out with fireworks. I like the new and hate the old, but I didn’t expect that you have been working quietly behind the scenes for so many years. You seem to have no interest in the throne, but you have secretly accumulated so much power."

Situ Yu raised his eyes and looked at Situ Xue: "Sister Huang also knows that although brother Huang and I are from the same mother, my mother-in-law's eyes have always only stayed on brother Huang. In her heart, I am not as good as brother Huang. When sister first came back, didn’t she have the same thoughts as mother and concubine?”

Situ Xue said cheerfully: "It was true that I had a high opinion of Situ Xu before. Now that the prince is dead, he is the eldest son, but he does not have the demeanor of the eldest son. In the eyes of his mother and concubine, he is calm and steady, but in the eyes of his father and emperor, he is so calm. It’s because he is timid, such a person embarrasses himself in a big position, no matter how well he does what Father has told him, Father will not look at him twice."

Situ Yu sighed slightly: "It's a pity that the mother-in-law still misses her father's old love in her heart. Even if the father takes away the right to manage the harem, she still feels that the father loves her. If she can get the mother-in-law. With your help, our plan will go much smoother!"

"People can change!" Situ Xue said coldly: "There is no queen mother in the harem now. If she can become a queen, she will be the most noble woman in the harem. I don't believe that the mother-in-law has never thought of sitting in the harem for so many years. That position. Since she is hesitant, why not let us help her!"

Situ Yu was silent for a while, and then he asked, "What does the emperor plan to do?"

Situ Xue said slowly: "When I entered the palace that day, my mother-in-law already knew everything I did in the border town. She is a smart person. If she wants to keep her current status, she must stay with us. Since the death of the Wei family, , the harem has always been taken care of by the mother and concubine. Once a person has power and status, their mentality will change. Now that she suddenly loses these power and status, she must have a lot of discomfort. At this time, if someone comes from the side to say something, The mother-in-law’s mind will naturally change.”

"By the way, have you done what I asked you to do?"

Situ Yu clapped his hands, and the door of the palace was pushed open. A man walked in from the outside. When Situ Xue saw the person, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes: "He...isn't he the guard beside Lao Qi?"

The man knelt down on one knee, cupped his hands and replied, "My subordinate Kong Wencai is here to see the eldest princess!"

"The surname is Kong?" Situ Xue murmured to herself, but her eyes kept falling on the man's face. She said, "Raise your head!"

The man raised his eyes, Situ Xue stared at them for a long time, and suddenly said: "I remember that not long after my father ascended the throne, he executed a group of courtiers who supported Prince Su. Among them was a great scholar named Kong. At that time, his wife was pregnant with She was pregnant, but just when the father sent people to arrest her, the lady set herself on fire. When the fire was extinguished, only a few corpses were left. The lady was burned the most severely, except for the vaguely visible face. After identifying the deceased, other parts of the body were burnt, especially the abdomen. The death was in a tragic manner. After conducting an autopsy, they also concluded that the two children were also burned by the fire. Could it be that you..."

Before Situ Xue finished speaking, Kong Wencai said expressionlessly: "The eldest princess's guess is correct. My mother was pregnant with twins at that time, and I was one of them. My father had already chosen our names before we were born. If they were both men, they would be named Kong Wenbin and Kong Wencai. At that time, my mother did give birth to two baby boys. Wen Po, who delivered the babies for us, had been favored by my mother. My mother learned about my father. Please give birth to our two brothers with birth-inducing medicine, and please take us out of the house."

"Poor Wen was worried that the lives of my two brothers would be exposed, so she took them to the countryside to avoid trouble. On the way, she accidentally lost one of them, and my brother is now the steward of the Jin Palace. I have been looking for him for so many years, but I haven't found him yet. Thinking of the last time I met him on the way to assassinate him."

Situ Xue frowned and said, "Then why did you follow His Highness King Yu?"

Kong Wencai cupped his fists and said: "Your Highness saved me. When I was seven years old, my hometown was hit by a flood. Seeing that she could not survive, Mrs. Wen who adopted me told me everything, hoping that I could Find my brother and let the two of you support him and live a good life."

"She said that my brother was lost near the capital, so I came to the capital. I was so hungry that I almost died, and I was young, so I could only go to the capital while begging. It wasn't until I met the prince later that I picked up one. But I didn't expect that my brother would be under the command of King Jin. His Highness King Jin has been in southern Xinjiang, so I have been looking for him for so many years, but I have never found my brother."
