Princess [rebirth]

Listening to the blessed report from outside, Zhuo Jingfan and Dou Chun paused at the same time, Dou Chun's face was a bit ugly, while Zhuo Jingfan had a smile that was not a smile.

"Let her come in, I want to listen and see, she has something important, she has to meet the saint at this time." Zhuo Jingfan saw that Dou Chun was silent, and knew that the other party didn't want to see Li Chenghui, but he did not want to see Li Chenghui. The intention of coming here was rather curious, wanting to see what kind of trouble Li Chenghui could make.

Now that Zhuo Jingfan had spoken, Dou Chun would not disobey him, so he agreed to Li Chenghui's request to see him.

After Li Chenghui came in, he took a quick glance and saw His Royal Highness, who is now a saint, sitting with the princess. She hid the bitterness and jealousy in her heart, straightened her expression, and respectfully greeted the two of them.

"Get up, what do you want to see me for?" Dou Chun called out lightly.

"Reporting to the saint, after the concubine's family heard that the concubine was happy, they came in and wanted to visit the concubine, but the concubine dared not make decisions without authorization, so I came here to ask the saint." Li Chenghui bowed his head and said respectfully and cautiously.

Dou Chun and Zhuo Jingfan looked at each other, it seemed that Li Chenghui's family was about to make trouble, after all, Li Chenghui was the only concubine of the sage, and she was also a pregnant concubine.After the enthronement ceremony, the sage will reward the harem. Even if Li Chenghui does not have a concubine, the position of the nine concubines will not be lost. Therefore, her family is also rising with the tide. It's floating.

However, Li Chenghui seems to be a sensible person. He didn't fail to see his identity clearly, and he knew to spread this matter in front of the saint. If she can always keep her duty like this, allow her a concubine and let her be in the harem. It's not impossible to enjoy the glory and wealth; I'm afraid that if she has thoughts in her heart, if she is pushed around by others, she will start jumping around on the basis of her identity as a saint who gave birth to the dragon's heir.

"Now that the month is still young, you can see it. When the month is old, it will be difficult to meet people." Dou Chun didn't speak, but Zhuo Jingfan said lightly after pondering for a while.

"Well, what the princess said makes sense. Since you entered the palace, you haven't seen your family members for so many years. Now that you are pregnant, I will allow you to call your family members in to talk with you. As long as you remember Now, when it's time to show your bosom, don't move around anymore." Dou Chun knew Zhuo Jingfan's concerns, and nodded in agreement with Zhuo Jingfan's statement.

"Promise, I will save it." Li Chenghui squeezed the embroidered handkerchief in his hand, and responded with a calm expression on his face.

"If you have nothing else to do, then step back." Dou Chun was lazy to talk to Li Chenghui again, if it wasn't because the other party was still useful, he wouldn't even want to keep this Chenghui.Li Chenghui could hear the impatience in his words, so he quickly withdrew.

After Li Chenghui withdrew, Zhuo Jingfan said lightly: "At present, she seems to be a sensible person. Even if she was a little confused in the past, it is enough to figure out the big things beforehand. After all, she is your concubine in name. It’s too easy to do, you have just ascended the throne, so you should keep a low profile in everything.”

"Well, but fortunately there is her in the East Palace, otherwise there will be newcomers in the palace at that time, if the newcomer is an uneasy one, it shouldn't make people upset." Dou Chun waved his hands, with annoyance in his tone.

"Actually, she's not the only one, there's Su Fengyi in the Buddhist hall of Tai Chi Palace." Zhuo Jingfan mentioned Su Fengyi with a sneer, but there was no smile in his eyes.

"What kind of thing is she? If the matter of pregnancy is placed on her, just watch, she will definitely not be willing to be silent, she must make something happen." Dou Chun curled her lips, not wanting to see Su Fengyi very much, No wonder he has such a deep prejudice against Su Fengyi. After all, Su Fengyi conspired with Concubine Shu to poison the saints. The hatred of killing their fathers is irreconcilable. It is good that Dou Chun didn't skin them.

In the past three months, Dou Chun has had a lot of concubines, among whom Concubine Shu is the first to bear the brunt. After all, the poison she asked Su Fengyi to hand over to Su Shuling has been found, and there are all witnesses and evidence, and Concubine Shu cannot be tolerated any more. Denial; and the maid beside Concubine Shu couldn't stand the torture, so she confessed all her past actions. In the end, Dou Chun gave her a cup of poisoned wine, three feet of white silk and Concubine Shu, and gave her the death penalty.

As for Su Fengyi, she couldn't escape, but she claimed that she didn't know that it was poison. After all, Concubine Shu never said it clearly, she only said that it was a medicine for strengthening the body. Besides, she was also afraid that Dongchuang's incident would make her whole body smelly, so she never went there in person. Seeing Su's order, only the maids around her were allowed to come forward, so after several confrontations and tortures, she appeared to be very innocent.Only capital crimes are inevitable, and living crimes are inevitable. It is wrong to leave the Buddhist hall without authorization, so Dou Chun doesn't need to collect other charges, and directly ordered her to shave her hair and become a nun, and shut her up in the Buddhist hall of Taiji Palace to pray for the Great Zhou Dynasty. Su Fengyi's life is completely over.

After disposing of Concubine Shu and Su Fengyi, Concubine Wan would not be able to get anything good. After all, Dou Chun would be poisoned back then, but it was all thanks to Concubine Wan. Therefore, when the saint fell into a coma, Concubine Wan's situation plummeted.Others don't know, but Dou Chun knows very well that the sage doesn't have any sincerity towards Concubine Wan, and his love in the past is all an illusion. In order to appease the Cheng family, the Cheng family is willing to stay in the capital.

Therefore, Dou Chun was not afraid of angering the sage at all. As soon as the sage fell, he began to punish Concubine Wan.

What makes Dou Chun strange is that Zhuo Jingfan seems to care about Concubine Wan, and also cares about the people around Concubine Wan. Zhuo Jingfan sent people to investigate the people around Concubine Wan more than once, and every time the results seemed to be different. Let the other side very disappointed.Dou Chun was naturally very curious, but he asked several times, but couldn't find out why, so he kept this matter in his heart.

Zhuo Jingfan naturally cared a lot about Concubine Wan. After all, in her previous life, she was Queen Duan Huiren of the Liang Dynasty. Now that history has changed, Dou Yuan died early. Dou Chun, who should have been stupid, woke up and inherited After taking the throne, the Great Zhou Dynasty was finally destroyed by Dou Yuan, but the founding ancestor of the Great Liang Dynasty has not yet appeared.

He has been here for more than a year, and he has sent many people to investigate Liang Zhongxuan in private, but he never expected that the people below would not be able to find this person. There is no such person around.Such a result naturally surprised Zhuo Jingfan, after all, as far as he knew, Liang Zhongxuan was originally a general under Duke Huai's command, and he was highly valued and trusted by Duke Huai, which was why Duke Huai was defenseless against him.

Logically speaking, it shouldn't be too difficult to find such a person, but he couldn't find any news about Liang Zhongxuan no matter how much he searched for more than a year.

Zhuo Jingfan was deeply distressed, he would not feel at ease for a day if he did not find Liang Zhongxuan, after all, he was this person in his previous life, who destroyed the Great Zhou Dynasty and created the prosperity of the Great Liang Dynasty.There is such a person hiding in the dark, coveting Dou Chun's throne, just like a knife hanging above his head, threatening the safety of Dou Chun and the Great Zhou Dynasty day and night, so he has to find Liang Zhongxuan no matter what, Even if you can't get rid of the opponent, you have to keep the opponent under your nose.

If it is false to say that Zhuo Jingfan did not intend to get rid of Liang Zhongxuan in his heart, but it is impossible for him to get rid of Liang Zhongxuan without any grievances, because no matter what, Liang Zhongxuan is his ancestor, even if he He became Zhuo Jingfan, but Xinzi never forgot that he really has the blood of the Liang family.

Therefore, what he wanted was to capture Liang Zhongxuan and offer him food and drink, so that he would die of old age in a place he could see for the rest of his life. He and Dou Chun were younger than Liang Zhongxuan, so they would definitely survive each other; if he and Dou Chun Unfortunately, walking in front of the other party, then he will drag the other party to die together before death. Anyway, such a hidden danger cannot be left behind.

He was thoughtful, but he couldn't find Liang Zhongxuan, which made him start to suspect that the life experience of the ancestor recorded in the history books of the Liang Dynasty was also fabricated. ...

******

Li Chenghui got the saint's consent, and called his aunt and sister-in-law into the palace the next day.

Li Chenghui's Aye is just the head of the Imperial College from the seventh rank. Although because his daughter entered the East Palace and sealed Chenghui, he also became a Tong Zhilang from the sixth rank, but in general, from the sixth rank The scattered officials in the capital are not at all conspicuous, so the Li family has always kept a low profile, and they don't usually walk around with people.

But now it is different. Although Li Chenghui is just Chenghui, His Royal Highness has already succeeded to the throne, and the enthronement ceremony will be held in a month. Moreover, Li Chenghui still has His Highness's only heir in his stomach. How do you look at the future of Li Chenghui? They are all unlimited, even if the mother is more expensive than the child, the position in the middle palace is not impossible to think about.

Therefore, the Li family was in an uproar, and the Li family's Alang and Mrs. Li's hearts were trembling. If their daughter really became a queen, then they and the saint would be in-laws. If their daughter gave birth to a prince in the future, wouldn't they be the prince's ancestral family?As long as the Li family thought of this, they would be overwhelmed with great joy. They never thought that their daughter would have such a great fortune.

Li Chenghui certainly doesn't know what her family thinks, since she entered the palace for more than three years, she has never seen her family members, and now the Li family's message came in, presumably because she heard that she was pregnant, so she wanted to come in and visit her, for Because of the thoughtfulness of his family, Li Chenghui went to ask the saint, and received the grace of the saint to summon Li's family.Unexpectedly, Li Chenghui saw A Niang and sister-in-law, but he was shocked by what they said inside and out.

Li Chenghui is still living in Qiushui Pavilion now, and she will move into Taiji Palace with the Crown Princess after the saint's enthronement ceremony.At this time, she met A Niang and sister-in-law in her warm pavilion of Qiushui Pavilion.

After Mrs. Li and Sister-in-law Li saluted and greeted Li Chenghui, they began to care about her belly. This is the saint's first child, so it is very important. Li Chenghui felt a little uncomfortable listening to the compliments of the two, and she stroked her belly with her hands , with a decent smile on his face, but his heart was full of bitterness.Outsiders don't know about her physical condition, so how could she not know about it?Only the sage said that she was pregnant, so she was pregnant, and after ten months, she would have a child of her own.

A Niang and her sister-in-law were talking, but the meaning in the words was that they started to turn a corner to find out about the saint's preferences and thoughts. Li Chenghui frowned, and said lightly, "Why are you asking these questions, A Niang?" Mrs. Li But he didn't answer her right away, but looked around, Li Chenghui saw what she meant, and waved away all the palace servants in the room.

When there was no one in the house, Mrs. Li held Li Chenghui's hand and said softly, "You silly child, now that you are pregnant, you can't serve a saint. Are you going to let that one pass you by?" Go? Even though he is a gentleman, no matter how much he is favored, he will not have any heirs, but he cannot be allowed to grow up, after all, the saint has not yet been established, and it is not necessarily the one who will be good."

"Why go past me? A Niang can't say that anymore. The princess is above me, so why should she go past me?" Li Chenghui was taken aback by Mrs. Li's disrespectful words, and said in a heavy tone.

"Sister-in-law, you are too gentle. Now that you have a dragon heir, so what if he is the crown princess? After a month, the saint will reward the harem, and you still don't know who is on top of whom, and what the family said is correct. , now you can't serve a saint, but you have to think more about yourself." Sister-in-law Li was on the side, and also echoed Mrs. Li.

"Thinking for myself? A Niang, what do you mean?" Li Chenghui asked with a flash in his eyes.

"Now you can't serve the saint, but you have to pick someone who is kind and obedient. When the saint comes to visit you, let her serve the saint for you. This is not only to please the saint, but also to keep the saint. The best of both worlds?" Mrs. Li said softly, while Sister Li nodded along.

Li Chenghui didn't make a sound when he heard the words, but just thought about it with a calm face. Mrs. Li and Sister-in-law Li looked at each other, knowing that the other party must have been moved, and then Mrs. Li said: "Don't worry, the palace maid is serving you now." After the saint, you will reward her with a bowl of soup and medicine the next morning, and nothing will be left, and your child is still the only one of the saint."

"This matter is not so easy to handle. You don't know, Auntie. The inside of the palace is no better than outside the palace. Even when the concubine is in favor, there is a female official named Tongshi by her bed. If I really put a maidservant on the bed of a saint, I'm afraid It's the saint who hasn't slept yet, and the whole harem knows about it." Li Chenghui pursed his lips and said.

Mrs. Li and Sister-in-Law Li didn't know the rules in the palace, and they were speechless at this moment. They thought that when the saint did that, he should have sent everyone away, so it didn't matter who was on the bed. How do they know who the saint slept with, how he slept, and how long he slept for?They thought that using the mistress of the backyard to win over their husbands would be more than sufficient, but now they heard this, and realized that the inner courtyard of the deep palace is really different from ordinary people.

"So... how should I live?" Sister-in-law Li said in a nasty voice. She and A's family came to the palace today to recruit Li Chenghui. They thought that if Li Chenghui could win the heart of the saint In the future, when people want to enter the palace, Li Chenghui may be able to speak up. At that time, let Li Chenghui intercede and let the third sister of the Li family also enter the palace. The two sisters have a companion in the palace and serve the saint together. It's a beautiful thing.

But now their idea was pushed back by Li Chenghui neither soft nor hard, and immediately made her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law helpless. They were not very smart ladies, so they could only look embarrassed at this moment, not knowing what to say.

Li Chenghui saw that A Niang looked a little sleepy, sighed in his heart, and said in a warm voice: "A Niang, I know that you are doing it for my own good, but as you said, now I am pregnant with a saint's heir, and a saint is naturally a child." I won't treat me badly, and I don't have to try to use tricks to keep the saint, the saint has a clear mind, who is good and who is not, the saint has his own account."

"Sister-in-law, don't blame me for being straightforward. It's good for you to think so, but you have to think about it for your family. You can't do it yourself, but you will leave the Li family behind." Madam made a sound, and rushed to speak.

"Sister-in-law, just say what you want. If sister-in-law wants to say that I have left the Li family, where does she start?" I have other thoughts.

"Sister-in-law is different from the past now. You will be able to go a step further by awarding the reward after a month. You don't want to support your family. By then, you will be prosperous, but the Li family is still in the mud." Sister-in-law Li ignored Mrs. Li's warning. The eyes, the mouth is a burst of scolding.

"Sister-in-law, I don't like to hear that. Aye was originally the head of the Imperial College under the seventh rank. Thanks to the sage's kindness, he was able to become a loose official under the sixth rank. The salary and treatment are both at the same level as Tong Zhilang. In the eyes of my sister-in-law, does this kind of grace mean that I have left behind the Li family?" Li Chenghui turned cold and said lightly.

"Ah Weng has become an official, but what about your elder brother? There are three sisters and four sisters at home? I'm not afraid to tell you the truth today, why did my family and I rush to offer advice to you? I just hope that you will mention the third sister in the future, so that the third sister can enter the palace, if the Li family can produce a queen, it will be the real support for the Li family, even if there is no queen, two concubines are enough glory." Sister-in-law Li seems to have seen the future of the Li family, but her eyes are shining and she keeps talking nonsense.

"Sister-in-law's thinking is really beautiful, but since ancient times, there have never been two concubines from the same family. Today I will also leave my words here. You want to send the third sister to the palace. Okay, find a way for yourself. If the third sister After the election, it's her life, and I won't stop it, but if you want to leave from me, I can only say no way!" Li Chenghui's face turned cold completely, and he glanced at his incomprehensible sister-in-law. Said without mercy.

Mrs. Li and Sister-in-law Li were startled by Li Chenghui's tough attitude. Li Chenghui was also a high-rank concubine in the Eastern Palace after all. Here, it is also a national gift first and then a family gift. In front of a fifth-rank Chenghui, the identities of Mrs. Li and Sister-in-law Li are not enough to look at at all.

Li Chenghui also didn't want to make too much trouble with Mrs. Li, but Mrs. Li and Sister-in-law Li's plan was impossible, so he had to beat them up so that they wouldn't use their own name to make trouble in the future In front of him, he must not be able to please him.

After Mrs. Li hurriedly left with Li's sister-in-law in embarrassment, Li Chenghui collapsed instantly. In the past, his status was not high, and when there were Fu Liangdi and Zhang Liangyuan in the palace, the family never thought about it; Becoming the only concubine of the saint, the hearts of the family members gradually grew.

She didn't know if it was the third sister's own idea to enter the palace, or was it the family's decision?It doesn't matter who made the decision, if the third sister can really enter the palace, I'm afraid that a talented person will be the best. How can a saint let two concubines come out of one family?Now that she is working for the saint, a concubine will definitely not be able to escape, and the saint will definitely not treat the Li family badly, so why does the third sister have to fill in the palace again?

It's just that she really thinks about her family. Mrs. Li and Sister-in-law Li don't think so. It's because she doesn't want the third sister to enter the palace to be her favorite.

When the third sister of the Li family heard this, her nose burst into tears. She cried bitterly, "Sister, how can you be so selfish? If I go to the palace, I will serve the saint with all my heart and soul with her, and if we With two ladies in the palace, the family has an advantage over others, can't these sisters think of it?"

"Your elder sister is not as smart and gentle as you. If you hadn't been young, you would have entered the palace." Alang from the Li family sighed, and there was a hint of blaming Li Chenghui in his words.

"Aye..." The third sister pressed the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, sobbed for a while, and then said: "Sister with such a temperament, what good can she get in that palace, even if she can really give birth The eldest son of the next emperor, I am afraid that in the future, the eldest son of the emperor will be rejected by the saint." The third sister was talking, while stealing a look at Aye's expression, seeing Aye's face became more serious, she was relieved.

"What you said makes sense. The real sister's temperament is really..." Li Alang was said by the third sister, as if he had seen Li Chenghui annoyed the saint, and even the Li family and the prince were relegated and rejected by the saint.

"Aye, you don't have to worry. Although my sister doesn't take me seriously, she is my sister after all. When I pass the election and enter the palace, I will help her." The third sister said with a smile. Li Alang nodded his head repeatedly after hearing the affectionate look of the sisters.The third sister saw that her entry into the palace was completely settled, and she finally let out a sigh of relief. She was afraid that Aye and his family would change their minds and not allow her to enter the palace after listening to Aye's words. Fortunately, everything went as usual. Aye still decided to send her into the palace. ...

The words of Li Chenghui, Mrs. Li, and Li's sister-in-law, as well as the remarks of everyone in the Li family, were quickly sent to the case of Dou Chun and Zhuo Jingfan.Zhuo Jingfan twisted up the thin paper that recorded the Li family's remarks, and smiled at Dou Chun: "It's no wonder that the third sister of the Li family is so thoughtful, she thinks so much about her sister, and wants to help her before she enters the palace. Woolen cloth."

"It's just an ignorant little lady. She thinks that after studying for a few years, she can coax everyone with a sharp tongue." Dou Chun twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing a mocking smile.

"The Li family was coaxed by her. Why did Mrs. Li and Sister-in-law Li enter the palace? They were instigated intentionally or unintentionally by her, and Alang of the Li family was also persuaded by her to send her into The palace is here." Zhuo Jingfan looked at the content of the secret report, and was amazed.

"If Alang of the Li family had the ability, he would not have stayed in the position of the head of the Imperial College for more than ten years. It is not unusual for him to be coaxed by a little lady today." Dou Chunhun waved his hand indifferently, He didn't take the Li family seriously at all.

"I don't think anyone in the Li family has any future prospects. Why did the sage point out Li Chenghui to you?" Zhuo Jingfan flipped through the records of the entire Li family, frowning and asking in puzzlement.

"Cheng Rou has put in a lot of effort in this process. Besides, although Mr. Li's family has no ability, the Li family has a large population, and it seems that they are quite fertile. For the sake of children, it is also acceptable for the prince to accept a concubine who is good at bearing children." It's nothing." Dou Chun curled his lips and said lightly.

After hearing this, Zhuo Jingfan smiled, didn't say anything more, put aside the information of the Li family, and didn't bring up the matter again.
