Concubine Jing almost regarded Rong Xi as her own child, and the reason for this was not in him, but in Rong Xi's mother Shi Shanxue.

When Shanxue was still alive, Concubine Jing was just a concubine, an unknown existence.

Concubine Jing is timid and cowardly by nature, and she can't handle the world clearly, and King Hua's Palace is a nightmare for her. Because the court represents a struggle of scheming. If you are brave and resourceless, then there is no better ending waiting for you than the cold palace.

But at that moment that made Jing Concubine desperate, it was Shi Shanxue who stood up to protect her.

Shi Shanxue is the righteous sister of Emperor Zhuan, so she will naturally be feared a little bit in Huaguo Palace, and the concubines in the palace can't stand Shi Shanxue geometry for the time being.

At that time, the other concubines left, and Jing Concubine sat on the ground, "Why are you helping me?" ”

"Speaking of which, I'm actually quite in favor of the law of the jungle, because after all, the way of the world is there, and I can't change it. But if someone dies in front of me because of my inability to save me, then I will definitely feel guilty for the rest of my life. Shi Shanxue leaned down and stretched out her hand, her eyebrows and eyes smiling, as gorgeous as plum blossoms.

Shi Shanxue is really a very beautiful person.

Concubine Jing looked at Shi Shanxue as if she was stunned, and was helped up by Shi Shanxue again, she said: "You treat me like this, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to repay you." ”

"Really? Repay...... It's the first time someone has said they want to repay me. Shi Shanxue said with a smile.

"Can't you?" It was as if the young concubine had grasped the last straw in this cold palace, and she intuitively thought that she should trust the person in front of her.

Shi Shanxue smiled casually and smiled beautifully, "Of course, I can wait for you to repay me at any time." ”

Later, Concubine Jing successfully conceived Huajun's heir and gave birth to the second prince. And it was at that time that the contradiction between Hua Jun and Shi Shanxue was getting bigger and bigger, so the original gift that Hua Jun had given to Shi Shanxue actually fell on her. Her second prince was given the name "Murong Qi", and the word "Qi" is the same as Huajun's "Qi", but Huajun set this name with all his might, and put all his love on the second prince and her.

At this moment, Shi Shanxue seems to have become a name forgotten by Huajun.

Later, Hua Jun ushered in his third son, the child of the queen.

At that time, Hua Jun finally went to see Shishan Snow once. It was also that time that Shi Shanxue was pregnant with a child, that is, Murong Xi, the fourth prince born in the future.

Concubine Jing ran very diligently when Shi Shanxue gave birth to the fourth prince, and the last time she talked to Shi Shanxue was two nights before Shi Shanxue gave birth to Murong Xi.

"Sister Shi, count the days, the child should be born soon." Concubine Jing is really happy for Shi Shanxue.

Shi Shanxue's expression was surprisingly calm, and she asked, "Do you think this child will be a boy or a girl?" ”

"Of course it will be Your Highness! Sister Shi, you don't have to worry, as long as Sister Shi's child is born, Jun Shang will definitely not continue to be angry with Sister Shi. Jun Shang actually loves Sister Shi very much, even I can see this. So Sister Shi, it doesn't matter, everything will be fine soon. Concubine Jing thought of Shi Shanxue's imminent birth of the child, and seemed to be a little interested, "This child must be born very handsome, after all, it is the child of Sister Shi and Junshang." ”

"It doesn't matter if he doesn't love me." Shi Shanxue said suddenly.

Concubine Jing was stunned, and said with some surprise: "Sister Shi, what are you talking about?" ”

"Even if he doesn't love me, that's okay. I just hope that he won't be angry with this child because of me in the future, if that's the case, I will really regret choosing to marry him. Shi Shanxue's tone was terrifyingly calm, and her gaze looked out of the window, and there seemed to be no focus, which was blurry and complicated.

Two days later, Shi Shanxue gave birth to the fourth prince, Murong Xi. Soon after, Shi Shanxue killed himself in the Plum Blossom Courtyard, leaving the fourth prince Murong Xi alone.

Concubine Jing became Concubine Jing, but she didn't have time to fulfill her original promise to Shi Shanxue, and she was not able to repay Shi Shanxue for her kindness.

Therefore, all Concubine Jing can do now is to treat Rong Xi as her other child as much as possible.

Although Concubine Jing's biological son, Murong Qi, the second prince, was driven into a desperate situation by Rong Xian and Yuran before he became almost insane, Concubine Jing couldn't blame Rong Xi for everything.

Because even Concubine Jing herself couldn't control her child's ambitions, and even in the end, her own biological child actually disliked her cowardice, thinking that she was timid and afraid, and she couldn't be his help after all.

Concubine Jing at that moment was painful, but she couldn't deny it. All this is just her own fault, and she has always been unwilling to change, so she has come to this day without the blessing of Shi Shanxue.

Hua Jun's love for her on the surface only came from the anger with Shi Shanxue at that time, and after Shi Shanxue died, Hua Jun's attitude towards her also returned to the lukewarm attitude in the past.

It's just that that's fine......

Now that the past is over, it's better to go back to the beginning.

Concubine Jing walked out of the hall of Rong Xi, her steps were slow and steady, her eyes looked ahead, and the confusion in her eyes turned into firmness after a moment, "Sister Shi, if all this is what I deserve, then I am willing to do it." I will definitely repay the kindness I owed to you at the beginning. ”

Haotian City of Shangguo is a city located in the north of Shangguo, Haotian City is a particularly prosperous city with people coming and going.

"It's really lively here." Yu Ran held the reins of the horse, walking slowly, her eyes looked around, and suddenly smiled and said to Murong Anlan beside her.

"yes, yes? I knew Ayu was going to love it here! Murong Anlan grinned when he heard this.

Yu Ran was dressed in a dark and white floor-to-ceiling smoke skirt, a pair of phoenix eyes were slightly raised, and said with a smile: "I like it, but it's really not easy to get out of Rongping Town, it seems that we are directly wanted as the companions of that group of black-clothed assassins." ”

"Ayu, when you talk about this, I'm really angry. What the hell are they doing? We killed all the black-clad assassins who assassinated ordinary people, and now they want us in turn, saying that we are the companions of those black-clothed men, which is simply unfounded and vexatious! Murong Anlan held the reins in one hand and clenched his fists in the other, and the feeling of anger was overflowing.

On the other hand, Yuran's expression was quite natural, she smiled lightly, and said very gently: "That's normal, because the government has long had an unclear relationship with those high-ranking officials and nobles, so even if they know the inside story, they will definitely blame us for all the crimes." Wouldn't that be the best of both worlds? ”

"Ayu, you said it lightly!" Murong Anlan pursed his lips and said dissatisfiedly: "Why are there so many people who are officials now?" They only know how to cling to the powerful, and they don't do anything serious. I see, in the final analysis, these are all the fault of the king of the Shang Kingdom, if he can do things a little more vigorously like Helian Yu, he will not give those dignitaries so many opportunities to gather power, then the court will be much cleaner. ”

Yu Ran listened, looking a little helpless.

It's started again......

"We are now walking on the streets of the Shang Kingdom, and it seems a little too ostentatious for you to say so blatantly that their monarch is not good, right? Besides, Ning Guo has the situation of Ning Guo, and Shang Guo also has the situation of Shang State, Helian Yu did that in the Ning State court, just because Ning Guo's court had to use such tough and flamboyant means to suppress it at that time, and Shang Guo's court has not yet reached that kind of forced situation, so naturally Shang Jun does not have to do it like Helian Yu. Yu Ran sighed softly and explained.

"Ayu, why do you seem to know the situation in Ningguo very well? Although Ayu, you are also reasonable, but I don't think the situation in the court of this Shang country is not much better, just the Xiahou clan's power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, I know how courageous the Shang monarch is. Murong Anlan said righteously, but when he said the last sentence, he was suddenly silent.

Xiahou ......

Speaking of which, Ayu seems to be the daughter of the Xiahou clan?

The corners of Murong Anlan's eyes twitched, and he subconsciously turned his head cautiously to look at Yu Ran's expression at this moment. And Yu Ran also happened to turn his head to look over, and the eyes of the two collided directly together, and Murong Anlan suddenly felt that his whole person was a little bad.

Murong Anlan opened his mouth in a panic, and his voice trembled, "Ah ...... Ayu, I haven't thought about it just now, don't take it to heart. I said Xiahou, it has absolutely nothing to do with you. Ayu, I know that you are different from those people from the Xiahou clan, you see that you are so smart, so good-looking, so powerful, so good, you must not mix with them! Ah no, no, I don't mean to look down on the Xiahou clan, I just think ...... That one...... Felt ......"

Seeing that Murong Anlan's demeanor seemed to be a little crazy, Yu Ran finally laughed out loud with a "poof" that was very shameless, she tilted her head, and smiled gently: "I don't care." On the contrary, I think Anlan is not unreasonable. The Xiahou clan did occupy too high a position and power in the Shang Kingdom, which made Shang Jun feel very sad. When Yu Ran said the second sentence, his eyes were a little serious and sharp.

"Then Shang Jun is willing to let it go like this?" Murong Anlan saw that Yu Ran really didn't mean to be angry, so he simply let go and said.

Yu Ran's gaze looked straight ahead, and he responded: "Shang Jun is not stupid enough to be so stupid, you can see the clues from the matter of Xiahou Yi and Xiahou Li. ”
