Mama Li was a gray-haired woman, well-dressed and capable, and said in a low voice of relief: "King Wu is still King Wu, but the concubine has changed." ”

"Am I changing?" Concubine Shu was quite puzzled, she was just a mother who loved her son very much.

Today, Mama Li and King Wu's nurse Hua Shi have been talking outside for a long time, Hua Shi always mentions Concubine Shu's expression with a faint regret, maybe it is too close, as close as the shadow of Concubine Shu, Mama Li didn't even notice it, if it weren't for the nurse's point, she wouldn't feel that Concubine Shu has changed a lot over the past year.

Mama Li said: "Do you still remember the imperial concubine?" ”

The master and servant entered the garden while talking, and on Chinese New Year's Eve, a pair of lanterns in the garden were ten steps away, and the pavilions and trees along the path were hung with festive red lanterns, and the lanterns were written with three big characters "King Wu's Mansion", which was decorated with a festive look.

The imperial concubine, the wife of the current emperor, missed the throne after the emperor ascended the throne, and the emperor uncharacteristically left the throne to the concubine when he was in the palace. Even so, the imperial concubine raised her children in the harem, and she was quite respectful and polite to the former queen.

"The main concubines and side concubines selected by the imperial concubine for the third and seventh princes, which one is not a famous family, and which one cannot help them. Before they were thirty-five years old, the concubines who entered the palace, even if they were small servants, which one was not the daughter of a powerful person? ”

It's not like I don't know the way, in this comparison, what Concubine Shu did is not only a big difference compared with the imperial concubine, but it is simply disgusting, and it is no wonder that King Wu will be farther and farther away from Concubine Shu.

Concubine Shu came back to her senses, "This ...... I thought it was for Ah Xuan's good. What you say is really a reminder to the dreamer. ”

King Wu's two side concubines, although they are both famous daughters, but their fathers and brothers have no real power, and these five concubines can't help King Wu for half a point.

Mama Li said, and said, "If Mrs. Shu is here, I may be able to mention you a little bit or two." The old slave is just a subordinate. No wonder the Hua clan is closer to King Wu than you are to King Wu. ”

Concubine Shu raised her eyebrows, "Are you saying that I am not as good as a nurse who can conceive for King Wu." ”

The Hua family still puts King Wu first everywhere, so why Concubine Shu can really imagine for King Wu.

Mama Li sighed slowly, "If King Wu just wants to be a prince who keeps to himself in this life, there is nothing to do." If not, the concubine should think twice before taking every step. When King Wu was young, Concubine Shu hoped that he would become a talent, and he would not learn to become a gentleman like the emperor and grandson next to him, but he had seen it in the past two years. In many things, the concubine was a little more domineering. ”

With a "snap", Concubine Shu slapped Mama Li in anger on the face.

Although the entourage was stunned, they all quickly bowed their heads.

Mama Li looked stunned. I was good before, but when I said that I would turn my face, I turned my face, and I started quickly and hatefully, only to feel a hot stinging pain in the place where I was beaten, and my brain was buzzing.

"Shameless old pious woman. How dare you accuse this concubine? Don't think that if you are an old man from the palace, you can criticize the matter of this concubine and King Wu. Someone will kill the minions who don't know the height of the sky! ”

Mama Li entered the palace before the wedding of Concubine Shu and Prince Qianming, and served Prince Qianming, but Prince Qianming was gone, and she stayed by Concubine Shu's side. When King Wu was twenty years old, she stayed for twenty-one years. Concubine Shu's words cost her life. "Although the old slave is a slave. But it was the emperor who was personally sealed from the seven-grade grandmother, killed the minions with ranks, and reported to the Ministry of Rites in accordance with the rules. ”

"Good! Good! Very good! Relying on the fact that you are an old man in the palace, this concubine has no way to take you. Someone came, and put her in the firewood room. Without the order of the concubine, no water or food is allowed. ”

Can't be killed. and starved her to death.

No wonder King Wu and her mother-son relationship are becoming more and more estranged, and they were instigated by these old women.

Concubine Shu had a seizure, returned to her courtyard, sulked for a while, and after her heart calmed down, it was not unreasonable to recall her grandmother's words.

In the past, when he chose a concubine for King Wu in the Golden Palace, he thought of treating the first queen's maiden family and his own family well, but he forgot to pick the daughter of a powerful minister. Although the eleventh prince is young, he is also a smart one, and he actually picked the concubine of the Anguo family at once, and even the side concubine is the concubine of the noble lord Wenqi. I heard that two more concubines have been brought into the palace in recent months, all of whom are golden branches and jade leaves of the powerful people of the imperial city.

"Come on, ask Mama Li if she knows it's wrong, if she knows it's wrong, let her out!"

Can't let King Wu lag behind, since the princes and grandsons around her are all from extraordinary backgrounds, she can't let others gain power.

Mama Li was imprisoned here, and King Wu and the Hua family also got the news.

Concubine Shu sat for a while, thinking of King Wu, her heart was not very steady. only brought a personal maid to Jiaotaiyuan, and the people in the courtyard wanted to report, but she stopped her.

In the study room of Jiaotaiyuan, there was a conversation between several people.

King Wu asked, "How did Mama Li provoke the concubine to be angry and want to kill her?" ”

Mama Li came out of the palace in the end, and she was the person selected by the emperor to serve in the palace in the past.

Hua Shi recalled the long conversation he had with Mama Li today, and sighed lightly, "Your Highness, look at the princes' mansions, which prince's wife and concubine are not the daughters of powerful people?" In addition to the lord of Ningxi, who was married by the emperor for you, his father was a hussar general, and his brother was a six-horse horse, holding military power, and the ...... next to him

King Wu chuckled, Concubine Shu didn't even reach the Hua family, so she would make trouble for him. "In the past 20 years, the mother concubine has not gone out of the door, and she has always been the most noble heroine in the palace. The main hall does not blame her, but it cannot help but be disappointed in her. In addition to her talent, there is also her identity, her father and brother are powerful people, if you can marry her, you can add wings to this hall. From childhood to adulthood, the main hall was poisoned, assassinated, and murdered, and every time it was able to turn evil into good fortune, it was because the emperor's grandfather secretly sent someone to protect it. ”

Hua said: "The old slave knows the pain in the heart of His Royal Highness. When you were six years old, you went to the Tai Academy, but a eunuch rushed out and assassinated you, injured your arm, and returned to the house, the concubine asked, he was afraid that she would worry, and lied to her that he accidentally fell. ”

King Wu put his hands behind his back, and there was a painting by Su Yan on the wall, which was a "Lotus Picture", and the most exquisite thing was the butterfly in the painting. "Now that I think about it, this palace has protected her mother since she was a child, and she has hidden many things from her, which is also wrong. Today, the mother concubine is less and less sure how to imagine the overall situation. ”

Concubine Shu's heart ached inexplicably, it turned out that she was a failed mother. King Wu has been silently protecting her since she was a child, and she will cause trouble for King Wu.

Twenty years of living in a simple house, twenty years of living in an inner house, twenty years of no woman competing with her for power, she really became stupid and stupid, and she didn't know how powerful it was.

"Your Highness, the concubine loves you, she just wants you to live quickly. She didn't think that she would get you in trouble by doing that. These concubines who came in the house, except for the future princess, which one can compare with the concubines of the princesses. Sometimes, it's not about beauty, it's about looking for beautiful women. With power comes to have everything. However, if the momentum is lost, everything will be lost. ”

This is the voice of Shi Kai, the chief butler of the Wu Palace.

Even the big housekeeper understood the truth, but Concubine Shu forgot it. All she thinks about is her own interests and the interests of the Shu family.

King Wu said: "Although the weak water has shortcomings, there are a few things on her that the king appreciates. ”

Shi Kaidao: "Your Highness is saying that the county lord of Anxi asked for the resignation of the fief in exchange for the gold medal for avoiding death?" ”

"Yes. This is her choice, it seems silly, but she thinks long-term. Her stubborn begging for the gold medal to avoid death is leaving a way back for her, and also for the Jiang family. Such a woman who knows how to make trade-offs and sees the long term is the most valuable. ”

Concubine Shu's heart sank slightly, she had always thought that King Wu had fallen in love with Jiang Suyan, and she was all tempted by Su Yan's beauty, so she selected five women who were far superior to Jiang Suyan's appearance to serve on her side.

It turned out that it wasn't!

It was she who misunderstood, Jiang Suyan had too many advantages, the power of the Jiang family and his son, the influence of the Jiang family in the imperial city, and the strength of Jiang Shuncheng in the imperial court...... There is also Jiang Suyan's own talent, and these are the reasons why King Wu is really tempted.

Hua Shi took the tea and handed it to King Wu, "The county lord of Anxi is a strange woman in the world, and the county lord of Ningxi also has something extraordinary. It's just that now, the county lord of Anxi has promised to marry Yan Shizi, and His Royal Highness should also let go. ”

King Wu was not without regrets, took a sip of tea, and said: "This hall did something exciting yesterday, and now that I think about it, I understand why Anxi abandoned this hall to choose the son of Yan." ”

Shi Kai said: "Your Highness, the past is over, don't mention it." ”

"Anthy is really for me, she wants me to rescue the lame military division of Xiqi from the prison for her own use, saying that this person can help me. Although I have more than a dozen staff members and doormen, none of them have any outstanding talents. You talk to Yu Shou and let him think of ideas to rescue this person. ”

Hua Shi smiled and said, "I didn't expect that the county lord of Anxi didn't hate His Highness. ”

"Even if I can't marry Anxi as my wife, I want to be a brother and sister with her, and I am willing to get along well with Yan Shizi."

Shi Kai said: "The old slave heard that recently, the Jing Wangfu and the Shun Wangfu are about to move, and they want to take the opportunity to win over the left shoulder king and Jiang Youxiang. The nurse sighed lightly, "The emperor is old, his health is not as good as before, and Your Highness, you are fledgling, and the princes are really worrying." ”

Hua and Shi Kaiben are husband and wife, and the two grew up watching King Wu. In the early years, Shi Kai was the personal guard of Prince Qianming, and the nurse Hua was the palace lady in the palace. Later, Prince Qianming was the master, and the Hua family was promised to Shi Kai as his wife, and after the two got married, they had two sons, namely Shi Fu and Shi Lu. A family of four is serving in the house,

Hua said: "It's better to send someone to the Zhenguo Mansion as soon as possible to agree on a good date for the wedding." If there are Zhenguo Gong and six horses on His Highness's side, His Highness can also be like a tiger. ”

King Wu did not refuse the emperor's marriage, and the bigger reason was that the father of Yang Yunping, the lord of Ningxi County, was the generalissimo of soldiers and horses.

Shi Kaidao: "The old slave feels that it is most important to have a good relationship with the Zhenguo Gong. Zhenguo Gong is a veteran of the two dynasties, who was quite important in the first emperor's time, and is also the marshal of the three armies, but he is more powerful than An Guogong. ”
