During the twelfth period of the Enlightened Dynasty, Zhou Tianzi moved eastward, gradually declining, the princes of the country rose, the etiquette collapsed, and the etiquette system gradually tilted.

The enlightened kingdom was blocked by the Shu Dao moat, and was located in the southwest, and its territory included the whole of present-day Sichuan and Yunnan, as well as a part of Guizhou. After King Lu ascended the throne, he led the princes and kings to be the king, tampered with the system of the Son of Heaven to govern the country, and the thrones of the concubines in the harem also changed, with the queen, the lady, the beauty, the beloved, and the eight sons as the order.

On the day of King Lu's accession to the throne, his wife Ye was canonized as the queen, the commander of the queen, and gave birth to a son-in-law, who was the eldest prince Du Yi, and gave birth to the princess Du Yun, who lived in the East Palace Shuning Palace. Mrs. Ji lived in Huining Palace, West Palace, and her newborn son was killed. After Chu Meiren is the royal family of Chu, she gave birth to her son Du Wei and lived in Xianning Palace in the West Palace. After the Tho Liangren was the royal family of Tho, he had no children and lived in the West Palace Zining Palace. Du Pan, the son of the new Jiang Liang, moved to the West Palace Ruining Palace.

King Lu has been on the throne for three years, the harem concubines have not yet been full, the three sons are still young, the crown prince is undecided, and the enlightened monarch is in the prime of life.

At present, the three harems have given birth to sons, although the eldest and youngest are orderly, and the crown prince should be inherited by the eldest prince Du Yi, but in this world where the princes are combined, there is a precedent for abolishing the long and young, and who ascends the throne of the prince is still two words. Gongzi Yi was born before the king's accession to the throne, when he was seven years old, and there was no motion to appoint a prince in the court, and those wise people secretly speculated about the king's thoughts.

In short, there is an undercurrent surging inside and outside the Enlightened Palace.

......

Harem Ruining Palace, the residence of Jiang Liangren.

Jiang Liangren was originally a concubine, originally Mrs. Ji's wife, and recently gave birth to a son, promoted to a lover, and was in the limelight for a while, even the palace maids and eunuchs of Ruining Palace are also walking in the wind these days, and their chests are much straighter than before. The mother is more precious than the son, and the servant is honored with the master, which is probably the case.

On this day, Jiang Liangren was staying in his bedroom, because of the new birth, his body was weak, so he obeyed the orders of the imperial doctor and did not come out of the couch. Rao is like this, and there are always people who come to say goodbye, openly and secretly revealing the meaning of being tied to Ruining Palace.

Finally stopped, Jiang Liangren was only half-propped up, leaning on the low couch.

The palace maid came to report, and the expected Gonggong Hong really asked to see her.

Immediately, a eunuch in green clothes half-bent up, entered the door, passed through the hall, stood outside the bed, and bowed through the veil.

"But the whereabouts of that son?" said the lover.

"Good man, that son is suspected to have returned to the capital. ”

"Oh? It's really fateful, the night out of the palace was in distress, the ambushed assassin was killed, Qingfeng Gorge was ambushed again, all the people who shot were killed, the carriage rushed down the cliff, and it didn't even die. ”

"It is said that on the beach in the lower reaches of the valley, the remains of horses and cradles were found. There is a waterfall in the upper reaches of the river, and it is suspected that the boy and the man named Yu'er had been hiding in a cave next to it. ”

"How is Mrs. Ji?"

"The king is very angry, Mrs. Ji is not allowed to leave the palace for half a step, and the loss of power in Huining Palace is a foregone conclusion. Father-in-law Hong's body was lower, and his low and hoarse male duck voice was also a little shorter, and he said casually, "The beloved has won the prince's position, and the prince's position ......."

"Is this what a slave should say?" said the lover with a slight irritation.

"The slave should die, the slave should die!" Father-in-law Hong quickly knelt down, his body trembling, and there were already dense beads of sweat on his forehead.

"Get up. Half-ringing, the beloved's eyes rolled, and then he slowly spoke, "Don't say that the queen has already had a son-in-law translation, just that Chu Meiren, and there is no son-in-law in front of her, how dare this palace have any extravagant hopes." ”

When Gonggong Hong heard this, there was something in the words of this beloved, so he quickly got up and said, "There are discussions in the palace and outside the palace in private, the king has not established the prince for a long time, I am afraid that there are other concerns, Xianning Palace is weak, Chu Meiren is withdrawn, and there is no help...... In the battle for the prince, Gongzi Pan may not have no chance. The king is in the prime of life, and he has been around for thousands of generations, and I don't know how many sons there will be in the future. If you plan ahead, you can take advantage of the opportunity. If the lover is interested, then it should be decided, without further ado. ”

"What do the orphans and widows in this palace rely on?" the lover remained silent, moved his body, and said, "Not to mention that the queen is powerful, the Chu beauty alone is definitely not helpless, and I don't know what is secretly planned." It's just that I don't know how much my father-in-law knows about that Chu Meiren?"

Gonggong Hong was stunned, thinking that his lover was testing himself, or did he hear something? The current situation is unclear, even if he has the heart to take refuge in Ruining Palace, it is not yet time to show all the hole cards, his heart moved, and he hurriedly said, "The slave has a little father-in-law who works in Xianning Palace, but he can ask him to inquire a little." ”

The lover half-squinted, as if he was not listening, and did not see any waves on his face, and only said half-loudly, "Then there is Father-in-law Lao, and step down." ”

Looking at the back of his father-in-law, the corner of his beloved mouth twitched slightly, and he thought, don't you know that you are the eyeliner inserted by the queen?

At this time, the newborn son Pan was lying next to his beloved, sleeping quietly.

The lover stared at the baby for a long time, let out a long sigh, as if he had made up his mind, and then called the personal palace maid and whispered in a low voice.

Soon, shocking news came from the harem, and Huining Palace and Ruining Palace turned against each other. Xu is a new upstart in Jiangliang, and a group of maids and servants follow the lord Rong, losing their low eyebrows and pleasing eyes in the past, and actually bullying the maids of Huining Palace. The newly mourned Mrs. Ji of the prince was angry with the queen, and the maid who caused the accident in Ruining Palace was beaten and expelled from the palace.

I thought that this matter was over, but the newly powerful Jiang Liangren completely ignored the kindness of the master and servant in the past, and I don't know what means were used to make the king angry with Mrs. Ji, who had already lost power, was beaten into the cold palace to think about it and temporarily maintain her position.

Since King Lu ascended the throne, this is the first time that a harem nobleman has been beaten into the cold palace, and Mrs. Ji has won the favor of the king before, and this punishment is really severe.

"First the newborn son was punished, and now he is annoyed by the favored Jiang Liangren, and it is difficult for Huining Palace to make a comeback. ”

"Jiang Liangren was only a maid before, and this time the former master and servant turned against him, not only did he hit Mrs. Ji's face, but even the queen's face was damaged a lot. ”

Those smart people in the palace talked a lot, looking at the deep harem and asking themselves, is the wind in this harem finally about to turn?
