Princess [rebirth]

Concubine Wan knew in her heart that she would have a miscarriage. In addition to the handwriting of the princess, there was also the acquiescence of the saint.As long as she thinks about this, she can't wait to hate her heart, so she doesn't care about her weakness after the miscarriage, she just got up and wrote a secret letter, so that people will send it to Duke Huai's mansion no matter what, and hand it over to Duke Huai hands.

The little eunuch she found was from Duke Huai, and Duke Huai spent a lot of effort to arrange for him to be in charge of delivering news for Duke Huai and her. This little eunuch runs errands.So at this time, Concubine Wan didn't hesitate, and immediately handed the letter to the little eunuch, and after a few more words of advice, she lay back on the bed to rest tiredly.

What she didn't know was that after the little inner prisoner left the Zichen Hall, he didn't try to get out of the palace, but abducted him directly to the Ganlu Hall.

The little inner eunuch lowered his head all the way, and hurriedly walked straight to the side hall of Ganlu Hall. The guards outside the hall saw him and let him enter the hall without stopping him.After he entered the palace, he immediately bowed to greet Lu Fu who was waiting inside. Lu Fu, as the personal eunuch of the saint, was also the head of the eunuch, and all the eunuchs and maidservants in the harem were under his jurisdiction. .

"What's the news?" Lu Fu didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly after shouting.

"Back to Eunuch, the imperial concubine has a letter, instructing the younger one to deliver it directly to Duke Huai." The little eunuch replied respectfully, while taking out the secret letter from his bosom, and presented it to Lu Fu with both hands.

"Well, I'll wait here." Lu Fu took the letter and said lightly, then turned around and left the side hall, heading for the main hall.

Lu Fu walked into the main hall with his letter in his arms. In the main hall, the saint sat on the main seat with an indifferent expression on his face.As soon as Lu Fu entered the main hall, he first saluted and greeted him, and when the sage called out, he respectfully presented the secret letter brought by the inner eunuch.The sage raised his eyelids and glanced at it, then said calmly, "Nian."

Lu Fu immediately opened the letter carefully, shook off the letter paper, and read out every word that Concubine Wan Guifei had written to Duke Huai.After he finished reading, the sage raised the corners of his lips and sneered, "Send the letter, I'll just wait and see how my noble concubine and my good third brother will seek justice for their children."

"No." Lu Fu respectfully agreed, and then he handed over the secret letter to a man with sharp hands and feet to restore it to its original state, so that no one could see that it had been opened and read, and then he returned to the side hall with the secret letter.In the side hall, the little inner eunuch stood quietly at the same spot and waited. Lu Fu stepped forward and returned the letter to him, "Go." The little inner eunuch took the letter, retreated respectfully, and then hurried out of the palace to Duke Huai's mansion . ...

In Duke Huai's mansion, the concubine was still sickly lying on the bed. Although Sun Ruren was in charge of the housekeeping, Duke Huai seldom entered her courtyard recently. Instead, he stayed in Qunfang Garden every night. The one who dotes on is Lu Ruren who used to be at odds with Sun Ruren.

After Lu Ruren was favored, he had the confidence to speak, and he often communicated with the chief steward of the inner court, and treated Lu Ruren respectfully, which invisibly praised Lu Ruren and Sun Ruren in their fight.Lu Ruren knew that behind Chang Tong was the concubine, and she didn't care what purpose the concubine wanted to promote her, as long as the left and right could make things difficult for Sun Ruren, she would be willing to cooperate.

Therefore, during this period of time, the backyard of the Wangfu can be said to be full of chaos. Sun Ruren and Lu Ruren rely on power in their hands, and the other relies on King Huai's favor. Sometimes even other servants and concubines in Qunfang Garden will join the battle.Everyone in the garden was envious of Sun Ruren's power and envied Lu Ruren's favor, so when the two of them were fighting fiercely, the others didn't mind adding fire to make the whole situation even more chaotic.

If Sun Ruren can be taken back as housekeeper because of his poor management of the backyard, that would be the best, no matter how bad it is, if the king can see Lu Ruren's arrogance and domineering true colors, the king will be tired of it Lu Ruren.And no matter how well Sun Ruren concealed it, the news of her pregnancy still spread quietly. How could the other concubines wait for her to give birth to the king's heir? Now the king only has one son and one daughter. After giving birth to a lord, wouldn't those unfavored people have even more status?

Therefore, no matter what their mentality is, the servants and concubines in Qunfang Garden are staring at Sun Ruren's belly with all their strength. Everyone has their own ghosts in their hearts, but their purpose is rare to be the same - to get rid of Sun Ruren's child.

Naturally, Lu Ruren had already known about Sun Ruren's pregnancy. It can be said that she was the second person to know about Sun Ruren's pregnancy besides the princess. A conversation between Bai Ling and Osmanthus fragrans.But Lu Ru knew very well that she heard it by accident, maybe the princess asked Bai Ling to tell her servant girl on purpose.

It was also because of this news that Lu Ruren more or less guessed the intention of the princess to let Chang Tong promote her. No matter whether she was willing to be the gun in the princess's hand, she could not just watch Sun Ruren give birth to the king's heir. Whether voluntary or forced, they can only stand up to fight Sun Ruren according to the princess's wishes.

The reason why the news of Sun Ruren's pregnancy spread was probably due to the secret force of the princess. Lu Ruren is very familiar with this method of dealing with concubines.As a legitimate daughter, Lu Ruren was raised by a legitimate daughter since she was a child. Most of the legitimate daughters will be regular wives later, so she naturally learned how to be a regular wife.The main wife does not need to compete with the concubine for favor, the main wife only needs to start the fire and let the concubine fight to the death. Where is the main wife of a wealthy family who will personally participate in the struggle in the backyard?There is no need to lower your status.

The main wife only needs to sit in the main courtyard and watch the fire from the other side. She has a concubine who is willing to contribute, and can step down the one who jumps the most. The status of the main wives, especially when they are in the prince's mansion, Duke Huai is a prince, and he will never let the scandal of pampering his concubine and destroying his wife come out, so the princess doesn't have to worry at all, her status will be threatened.

Even if Lu Ruren saw clearly the plan of the princess and knew that the princess was only using her as a pawn, she could only swallow the bitterness in her stomach. Ever since she was carried into the palace by a pink sedan chair, she was doomed to be a prince for the rest of her life. Concubine's fate.Those upbringings in the past are useless. As a concubine, does she still have money from her regular wife?It must not be swallowed alive by other people.

Therefore, after she recognized her status, she began to imitate Sun Ruren or other servants consciously or unconsciously. Although there was still a hurdle in her heart, life had to go on, even if she refused to accept her fate.There is hope only after she has passed. She is no longer the little lady who was held in the hands of Aye and A Niang at home in the past.

It was also because of Lu Ruren's enlightenment that she was able to quickly win King Huai's favor after Sun Ruren became pregnant.In the past, Sun Ruren underestimated Lu Ruren too much, and the result was that Lu Ruren had almost climbed onto her head when she was not paying attention.

When Sun Ruren came to his senses, Lu Ruren was already showing off his power in front of him in the name of the king's concubine.

All of this naturally fell into Wang Hao's calculations. ...

Main courtyard of Prince Huai's Mansion

Baicao served Wangfei to drink the decoction, then took honey water for Wangfei to rinse her mouth, and then wiped the corners of Wangfei's lips, then said softly: "Wangfei, please see me, little noble son."

"Well, let's bring it in." Princess Huai said calmly, after Baicao adjusted the soft cushion on the back for the princess, she stepped back to bring the little noble son to see the princess in person.

"Bai Ling stay, and everyone else will leave." After Baicao left, the princess waved her hand again, and waved away all the maids waiting in the room, and only she and Bai Ling were left in the room before she asked. Said: "What's the situation in the mansion now?"

"Back to Princess, Lu Ruren's grandmother left the mansion a while ago and went to Lu's house." Bai Ling said softly.

"Well, what about the others?" the princess asked again.

"Two servants have also sent letters home, but the other concubines have not moved." Bai Ling's voice was still soft and soft, and his tone was even more calm.

"Well, keep staring, the piece of meat in Sun Ruren's stomach can't fall off at this time, it won't spoil my event." Wangfei's tone was indifferent, but there was a flash of sharpness in her eyes.

"No, I'll save you, servant girl." Bai Ling responded, just at this time Baicao led the young noble son, Bai Ling backed away, let the young noble son go forward to salute the princess, and then saw the young noble son took out a letter from his arms. The secret letter was respectfully presented to the princess.

Baicao immediately took it, opened it for the princess, and spread the letter paper to the princess. The princess took it and read it in a few minutes. She smiled and handed the letter to Baicao. , What a big joke." Baicao and Bailing followed the princess since they were young, and they are also literate, so they took the letter paper and read it quickly, and when they finished reading it, the expressions on their faces were a little distorted.

"Send the letter to the king's study." The princess stopped laughing, and said lightly, Baicao immediately put the letter back, and glued the letter carefully, and then led the little noble son to go for a walk in person. Visit the study in the front yard.

"What do you think is going on in this Cheng Rou's mind? When she was in the northwest, she looked like a fairly normal little lady. How did she become so confused when she entered the palace?" Wang Hao said to Bai Ling with a sigh.

"Everyone says that the imperial palace is a big dyeing vat. Even if a pure and clean lady enters, she will probably be stained dirty. The palace is a place where people cannibalize. If Mrs. Cheng remains unchanged, how can the favor not fade?" Bai Ling went up The former tucked the corner of the quilt for the princess, and said softly.

"You're right, I'm the one who got the picture. Just thinking back to the days in the northwest, I feel more and more that this capital is really depressing. It's forced my life into a different shape. Even I don't change. Are you cruel? If Aye, Auntie sees me now, I'm afraid she won't recognize me." The princess coughed a few times, with a trace of sadness in her eyes.

"Princess, please relax. Now that you have a young man and a young lady, life is about to get better. In the future, you will have plenty of time to enjoy life. Don't hurt your body because of these things. You have to take care of the young man and the young lady." Think about it, lady." Bai Ling comforted him carefully.

The princess heard her mentioning the pair of children she gave birth to with all her life, so she stopped talking, closed her eyes and rested. ...

******

Concubine Wan's secret letter was sent out, but Duke Huai did not respond for a long time. She was trapped in the Zichen Palace, and her temper became more and more anxious.Others said that she did not fall out of favor, the sage still stayed in the Zichen Hall every night, only she knew that the sage did not share the bed with her at all, she was moved to the side hall, and the sage slept alone in the bedroom of the main hall.

Since her miscarriage, the saint has only visited her once, his expression and attitude are indifferent, and he can't see the pain of bereavement at all. At that time, she knew that the saint's love for her was fake, and the saint just needed a favor. Concubine, so as to suppress the queen and the Fu family.Even though she had guessed all this long ago, when she really saw the sage's cruel and indifferent look, her heart still throbbed uncontrollably.

If it wasn't forced by the situation, she would also want to be the saint's concubine well, and she would also like to be favored by the saint, instead of being like now, with only a glamorous appearance, and no one knows the loneliness and pain in private.She hated the saint for bringing her into the palace, but he didn't treat her sincerely, so when Dou Ze appeared in front of her in a graceful manner, the other party's tenderness and consideration made her fall so quickly.

The hatred in her heart grows, but she doesn't know, if there is no love, where does the hatred come from?

The sage naturally didn't know the struggle in Concubine Wan's heart. At this time, he was in the study of Liangyi Hall, summoning His Highness the recovered Crown Prince.After Dou Chun woke up, although his behavior was still a little silly, it was very different from the previous stupidity. Only the sage was very cautious and did not spread the news of the prince's recovery, so as not to cause trouble again.

But he didn't expect that the empress was so impatient that she was already preparing to send people to the East Palace.

When the sage knew about it, he immediately summoned Dou Chun. First, he wanted to see how Dou Chun was recovering. Second, he wanted to ask Dou Chun what he meant. If Dou Chun really wanted to accept people, he would not stop him.

Therefore, as soon as Dou Chun came to the study, and after saluting and paying his respects, the sage asked straight to the point, "Do you want to enter your East Palace for this selection?"

"Going back to my father, my son's body has not recovered yet, I'm afraid I will delay those good family sons, I also ask my father to be merciful and agree to my son's request, so that newcomers will not enter the East Palace." Dou Chun respectfully replied, with a smile on his face. He looked haggard after recovering from a serious illness, and his voice was also very weak.

"Alright, just take a break this time, and wait until next year when you're all set. When you want to recruit someone, you'll have a new good family. I won't assign anyone to you this time." The saint nodded Head, promised to come down, seeing the prince's weak appearance, the sage didn't want him to be too tired.Now there is only one princess concubine and one Li Chenghui left in the East Palace, the prince should be able to handle it, if there are more, the prince's body may be overwhelmed.

Dou Chun didn't know what was going on in the heart of the sage, so he pushed back the accepting this time, and it was considered as an end of his mind.Today's East Palace is already an iron bucket, he doesn't want to let down the hard work of the Crown Princess, besides, his eyes are full of only the Crown Princess now, and the people around him can't see it, if possible, he doesn't even want to stay with Li Chenghui, who knows Li Chenghui Whose person is it?

But when he was meeting with the saint in the Hall of Two Forms, Zhuo Jingfan in the East Palace was not idle either.

During this period of time, many things have happened in the Eastern Palace. Zhuo Jingfan managed to clean up the Eastern Palace. Now there is only one Li Chenghui who is still staying in the Qiushui Pavilion. Fan did not relax his surveillance on her.

Li Chenghui originally stayed with Zhang Liangyuan in the Lianfang Pavilion. He hated the matter of winning the witchcraft that day. After careful investigation, she was not offended, so Zhuo Jingfan moved her out of the Lianfang Pavilion and placed her in the Qiushui Pavilion.

Originally, Zhuo Jingfan wanted to get rid of Li Chenghui with the idea of ​​"I would rather kill a hundred by mistake than let one person go." But Fuling persuaded him, saying that the East Palace must be left alone, and if there is only one princess concubine left in the Crown Prince At that time, the saint and the empress will definitely stuff people into the East Palace again.Rather than letting a few people who don't know the details enter the East Palace, it is better to keep Li Chenghui first, and if Li Chenghui really changes in the future, it will not be too late to get rid of her.After hearing this, Zhuo Jingfan felt that it made sense, so he threw Li Chenghui far away, and spared her from having to worry about it in the morning and evening.

But Li Chenghui was also calm. After hitting a wall a few times, she knew that the Crown Princess didn't want to see her, so she completely nestled in the Qiushui Pavilion. Even on the day when the Crown Prince woke up, she avoided being sick, and just sent someone to care about her. some.Zhuo Jingfan was quite satisfied with Li Chenghui's understanding, as long as Li Chenghui could settle down, the East Palace wouldn't be able to support a Chenghui, it's just an extra mouth to eat, what would it cost?

It's just that on this day, Li Chenghui, who didn't go out at all, came to Cheng'en Hall in person, begging to see the Crown Princess.

"Li Chenghui?" At this time Zhuo Jingfan was leaning on the soft couch, holding the roster given by the empress, flipping through it. Hearing the inner eunuch's report, he still couldn't recover. After all, Li Chenghui hadn't said that he wanted to see him for a long time.He thought for a while, recently the other party was so peaceful that it would be alright to meet him, so he said flatly, "Let her in."

Li Chenghui got the order, and walked into the Cheng'en Palace with her maidservant bowed her head. She saluted and greeted the princess in a respectful manner. Well, it made the Crown Princess take a high look.

"Get up, what do you need to see Ben Gong?" Zhuo Jingfan didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly after calling out.

"Back to the Crown Princess, this matter is clearer from Huarong, please report to the Crown Princess Rong Huarong." Li Chenghui said respectfully, Zhuo Jingfan frowned, "Where is Huarong?" At this time, a palace maid behind Li Chenghui He took a step forward, bowed his knees and saluted and said: "My servant, Huarong, has seen the Crown Princess, and the Crown Princess is blessed."

"Come on, you are Hua Rong? What do you want to say?" Zhuo Jingfan glanced at the other party and asked calmly.

"Back to the crown princess, the maidservant's elder sister is waiting beside the third princess. A while ago, the elder sister sent people to say that she saw Su Fengyi who was supposed to be in the Buddhist hall in the Linhu hall." Huarong lowered her head, respectfully Said.

Ever since Su Chenghui was demoted, and since Chenghui became Fengyi, the empress used it as an excuse to pray for the prince, and threw her into the Buddhist hall in the Taiji Palace, where she went to eat fast and chant Buddha, but at this time, Huarong's elder sister said , I saw Su Fengyi in the Linhu Temple. Could it be that Su Fengyi dared to go against the queen's will and leave the Buddhist hall privately?

Linhu Hall is located on the west side of Taiji Palace. It is named Linhu Hall because there are two large lakes in the palace not far outside the hall. To the south of Linhu Hall is Fengyang Pavilion where the princesses live.Apart from the prince Dou Chun, the sage also has five princesses. Among them, the second princess died young, so the eldest one is the third princess.

The birth mother of the third princess was originally a young talented person. Because of difficulty in giving birth to the third princess, she died of a blood collapse. Therefore, the saint named her biological mother Zhaoyi and was buried in Zhaoyi's standard. The young third princess , was adopted under the name of Concubine Xian.

Originally, Zhuo Jingfan didn't pay much attention to the saint's harem. After all, as a princess, he didn't have the reason to keep an eye on those concubines all the time.Now that the servant girl next to the third princess suddenly sold out to the East Palace, Zhuo Jingfan had to think deeply about the meaning behind the third princess's move.

After all, no matter how old the third princess is, she is still just a young lady who has not yet reached the age of Ji. It is hard not to think about whether it is the concubine Xian who is behind the push, or else the third princess who has no biological mother and is almost transparent in the harem , how could it be such a coincidence to find Su Fengyi who slipped out of the Buddhist hall?

Thinking of this, Zhuo Jingfan looked up at Huarong again, thinking in his heart, Huarong said so frankly that her elder sister was working beside the third princess, obviously she was showing her loyalty to him, after all, the palace maids entered After entering the palace, the previous hometown and the past will be left behind. Unless you consult the roster of registration of birth experience with the Shang Palace Bureau, how will the nobles know who is related to whom?

This is why the concubines always like to use people's means. They are really small maids, not easy to attract attention, and it takes a lot of effort to investigate their backgrounds. Concentrate on carefully checking every maid in the palace.In addition, the roster registered by the Shang Palace Bureau cannot guarantee that all the information is true. Sometimes, with a small amount of silver, those materials can be falsified. And so many nails.

Therefore, Huarong next to Li Chenghui said her sister's identity at this time, which is actually another kind of nomination certificate, and it also represents the position of Li Chenghui and the three princesses, or represents the sincerity of the concubine Xian.

Zhuo Jingfan figured out the intention of Li Chenghui's visit in a flash. He put away his thoughts and said lightly, "Linhu Hall? Linhu Hall is far away from the Buddhist hall. When did your sister see her?" ?”

"Back to the Crown Princess, it was Haishi six days ago." Huarong replied.

"Haishi? The gate of the Haishi palace has already been unlocked. How did she, a little Fengyi, manage to get to the Linhu Palace? And how did your elder sister still walk in the palace during the curfew?" Zhuo Jingfan listened. He straightened up, looked at Huarong and asked coldly.

The author has something to say: Concubine Wan: How many hands can I trust...

Dou Chun: Saint, there is nothing wrong with my body, don't underestimate me, my weakness is just pretending!
