Warring States

A corner of King Yi’s Palace used to be a deserted place like a cold palace. It was cleaned up, and there were women’s voices, the sound of rattle drums, and the giggling of children. , everything looks so warm.

Followed by five or six maids, Huan Zhen heard the laughter outside the courtyard, his face that was often covered by melancholy showed a smile, and his pace did not speed up. Shi Shi ran into the courtyard, and a maid saw Huan Zhen When he arrived, he held up his skirt and trotted to report to the hostess here.The laughter inside stopped and became quiet.It's not that Huan Zhen is unpopular, but because of his status, he will definitely be treated with dignity.

When Huan Zhen walked into the room, the women in the room lowered their heads and bowed their bodies. The babbling children were suddenly ignored, and they trotted up to Huan Zhen and hugged her. Huan Zhen's thigh: "Uncle." The child yelled vaguely, looking up at Huan Zhen with an innocent smile.

Huan Zhen bent down and hugged the soft child in his arms with a smile, "Sister-in-law please get up."

Sitting down with the child in his arms, he said to the beautiful woman.

After saluting, the woman sat up straight, looked at the teenager and child in front of her, smiled gently, and chatted about homework.

"Yu'er misses you very much, and she misses you all the time." Huan Zhen's sister-in-law watched Huan Zhen put the child on her lap, holding the rattle, shaking it, teasing the child, and the child laughed happily. "Your Majesty loves children, why don't you want one yourself," Huan Zhen's sister-in-law said.

"Sister-in-law, as I said, she won't marry a wife and have children." Huan Zhen said to the woman while teasing the child. "Sister-in-law don't need to say any more, Yu'er is fine." Huan Zhen directly interrupted what sister-in-law was about to continue.

Huanzhen's sister-in-law stopped, she was not trying to test Huanzhen, but she sincerely hoped that Huanzhen could get married and have children normally, and not delay her because of their mother and son.Ever since Huan Zhen came to power, he has never treated himself badly. He would rather wrong him as a monarch than let the treatment of their mother and child be affected a little. Everything is the best.It can even be said that her life is better than when her husband was alive.

The boy in front of me is eighteen, an adult, and her appearance is becoming more and more handsome, gentle and refined. In their female circle, many people have already asked her about their intentions to marry the king, and none of the maids of the right age around her have seen her. When you are on the throne, your eyes are full of spring.In order to fulfill his promise, Your Majesty really does not approach women, and there are no women who serve around him. There are rare opportunities for caring maids on my side, and there are quite a few who specialize in them.

She is not stupid, no matter what, she has experienced the backyard when her husband was alive, how could she not understand the thoughts of these girls, but she did not stop her, instead she picked the good-colored ones and put them by her side, hoping that the young man would love the old gentleman She was relieved to be able to look at anyone.However, every time your majesty comes, he either greets himself or teases the children, his gaze never shifts, and he treats those beautiful maids as nothing.

A woman's beautiful appearance does not mean that her heart is also beautiful. Your Majesty turned a blind eye to them, making some people's hearts ugly. They criticized behind their backs, saying that Your Majesty had thoughts about her.It was really ridiculous, it made her look cold, and ordered someone to deal with him quietly.Do you really think she won't do anything? Your Majesty has entrusted her with all the affairs in the backyard. It's just dealing with a maid, so you don't have to worry about him.She is not a cruel person, but those who tarnish the reputation of the king must not stay, and there is only so much she can do for the king.

It is said that Junshang has thoughts about her, how could it be possible, Junshang respects her only because she is Junshang's sister-in-law, and Junshang, who abides by etiquette, has never surpassed anything, and his eyes are even clearer, in order not to let her Qing reputation was damaged, and that time getting along was not surrounded by people.She knew very well that Jun Shang's kindness to her was only because of his uncle and sister-in-law, nothing else.Anyone who thinks this way has an unclean mind. If he stays by his side, it will only be a disaster, let alone the monarch.

Huan Zhen's sister-in-law is very clear that in this country of change, the only person she can rely on is Huan Zhen. As for other brothers and family members, she cannot trust them all.Huan Zhen used his practical actions to win her trust and support. For herself and her children, she would do everything for Huan Zhen, and she would sacrifice her life for this, and she would not hesitate to take the lives of others. My own clean hands are nothing more than a trivial matter.That's all she can do.

"Your Majesty." This is the important backyard of the monarch. Without permission, outsiders are not allowed to enter. Even if they are important officials in the court and Huan Zhen's confidants, they must abide by the rules. Although the people living here are not Huan Zhen's wives and concubines, they are It's Huan Zhen's sister-in-law, and Huan Zhen sticks to the rules to the end, so that no one will ruin her sister-in-law's reputation, and foreign men are not allowed to enter.Even if there is something important, you have to report it, and he can just go out and deal with it. "Master Xi has something to see." The person in charge of the interrogation said the matter without delay.

Huan Zhen stopped the warm interaction with his nephew, "Sister-in-law, I will leave." Huan Zhen stood up and put the child away. The child didn't know what was important and what was not, except that his favorite uncle didn't play with him No, no, the little hand hugged Huan Zhen's thigh again, not letting Huan Zhen go.Huan Zhen really couldn't move an inch, dragging step by step, his appearance was really ridiculous.

Huanzhen's sister-in-law smiled cleverly, and carried the child back to her arms, "Your Majesty, hurry up, we can take Yu'er with you." She was still in her mother's arms, still unhappy, don't, don't let uncle go , the child's trick, cry, come.

This is what Huan Zhen is most afraid of, but business matters, he can't stay for the child, "Please trouble sister-in-law." Huan Zhen said gratefully, children are fun, but once they cry, it gives him a headache.It made him want no more children.

"What's the trouble? I'm Yu'er's mother." Huan Zhen's sister-in-law drove Huan Zhen away. Because of the child, Huan Zhen kept her innocent appearance and always made Huan Zhen's sister-in-law happy. Popularity, usually calm and melancholy, makes people look solemn, but it also makes her a loved one feel distressed. "Go quickly." Holding the child and coaxing her, she was very good at coping with the crying of the child. After all, she had nothing else to do except take care of the child. She was very patient.Huan Zhen don't need to worry about these things.

Huan Zhen exited the room, and only felt relieved when he heard the child's crying gradually subsided.If you really want him to take care of the child, he really can't do it.

Huanzhen's sister-in-law and the maids coaxed the child skillfully. Children are not long-cherished creatures. There are other things that attract him, so they soon forget about their uncle, and they are smiling and happy with each other. The mother and the maids played, and when they were tired, they fell asleep.Huanzhen's sister-in-law lovingly tucked up the quilt for the child, leaving one or two maids to watch, and left the child's resting room with the others.

Drinking green tea, enjoying the scenery of the courtyard, feeling a bit hungry after playing with the children, eating some exquisite snacks, Huanzhen's sister-in-law really felt that she lived a comfortable life, much more comfortable than when she was Yi's concubine.

"Your Majesty is so kind to Your Highness." Huan Zhen's sister-in-law's maid said.

"Yeah, it's really good." Huan Zhen's sister-in-law also sighed, saying that the biological father and son are nothing more than that. No wonder some people would suspect that Huan Zhen has something for her. Your Majesty really has nothing to say to Yu'er. It is possible that Junshang will be so kind to Yuer, because Yuer is Junshang's child.It's ridiculous, when she was pregnant with Yu'er, the Lord Jun was still fiefdom.Don't think about it, how is that possible.

"Your Majesty, is it true that you don't want to marry a wife and have children?" the maid asked Huan Zhen's sister-in-law.

"He is a stalwart man. He will do it in order to fulfill his oath." Huanzhen's sister-in-law said helplessly. She really didn't care whether the child could sit on the throne of the monarch, but only wanted the child to grow up safely. It's a pity that in this messy world, this This expectation is so difficult.She prayed that the king would be strong, that she could bring peace to the country of Yi, and that her children would not have to face the storms of the Warring States period. "If Junshang really has no intention of marrying a wife and having children, I will teach Yu'er well and let him become an excellent man like Junshang, and take up the burden of changing the country." As for her husband, to be honest, speaking of outstanding , It's really not as good as the current Junshang, his stature and ability are far behind.

The most outstanding man she has ever seen, only Junshang, who obviously has a delicate appearance, but has a more magnificent virtue than anyone else, and has the strong ability to face wind and rain.With such an example, how could she not want her child to become such a person.

"Master." The maid looked at the other maids around her, her words hesitated.

"You all go down." Huanzhen's sister-in-law knew that she had something to tell him privately. After letting the others go down, Huanzhen's sister-in-law said to the maid, "Come on, what's the matter?"

"Your Majesty does not marry a wife and have children. It is His Majesty's righteousness. We all know this, but some people criticize behind his back, saying that the monarch does not marry a wife and have children because he is not interested in women." The circle of maids is always full of right and wrong. She naturally heard the discussion.

Huanzhen's sister-in-law turned cold, criticizing her and the emperor for not talking about it, and now she is still tarnishing the emperor's reputation, not interested in women, incompetent, or liking men, no matter what it is, it is all damn words, "Let's deal with it." Those who would gossip like this are definitely people in her yard. By Junshang's side, there will naturally be Xi Sen who can solve it, and it's not her turn.

One by one trying to climb up to Junshang, seeing that Junshang has no heart for them, they make arrangements to criticize Junshang, they really deserve to die.She gave them a chance, and they didn't know how to cherish it, and they didn't know how to deal with it, so they were not qualified.

"Yes." The maid replied, there are too many ways to kill quietly in the backyard.The maid lowered her eyes and retreated. She was arranged by Xi Sen in the backyard to supervise the hostess and His Royal Highness, and now she is also used to protect the reputation of the emperor.For the sake of the king, a hundred deaths are not a pity, let alone bloody.

In places that Huan Zhen can't see, there are countless people who are willing to bear the darkness for him, only wishing him to be looked up to under the light.
