The Shangguan family is not a big family like the Cui family, but it is not an ordinary portal, the ancestors have intermittent people as officials, the earliest can be traced back to the heyday of the previous dynasty, the high is the county guard, the low is the county order, can be regarded as a standard official family.

In the twenty-sixth year of Emperor Wu, the fifteen-year-old eldest daughter of the Shangguan family married the then king of the East China Sea. Three years later, this promise was fulfilled, and my sister also married into the palace and became a beloved.

Shangguan's family education is very strict, and the names given to their daughters are not fatty, the eldest daughter is famous, and the second daughter is named Duan, in the house, they are called Xianliang and Duan Liangren.

The king of the East China Sea had a princess, but unfortunately she died not long after marrying. At that time, he was not the crown prince, he was sealed in a remote seashore, far away from the court, and could only enter Beijing to worship in the spring every year, and he had to leave Beijing and return to China within ten days, and the possibility of being favored by Emperor Wu was very low, so no dignitaries were willing to marry their daughters to the king of the East China Sea as princesses.

In the palace, the name of the princess is the target of fierce competition among several lovers.

As soon as Duanliang entered the mansion, he understood the situation, whoever can give birth to a son first will be the princess, this is almost certain, and my sister summoned her into the mansion just to increase the chances of victory.

This is a cruel and ruthless struggle, all parties involved in addition to beauty and pregnancy, there is no other weapon, the appearance of the beloved person is not picky, and versatile, can chant poetry, can dance, and occasionally can accompany the king of the East China Sea to chat about the general trend and the court pattern, has long been favored, the only regret is that he has not given birth for several years in the palace.

In the autumn of the twenty-ninth year of Zhongmiao, the Shangguan sisters ushered in a lucky moment, the two were conceived one after another, and the younger sister Duan Liangren was half a month early.

At the beginning, this was a happy thing, and the whole palace was smiling, and even a few competing lovers were willing to accept defeat, and the gold and silver cloth that the king of the East China Sea rewarded the inside and outside people with was worth 10,000 taels of silver at a time.

A few months later, the relationship between the Shangguan sisters became delicate, and the younger sister Duan Liangren had no intention of competing for the position of princess, but the matter was not up to the two of them, and it was not all decided by the king of the East China Sea. In their opinion, the love of the king of the East China Sea does not matter, whether it is the sister or the younger sister does not have much influence, the mother is the only principle, and whoever gives birth to the prince first is the princess, there is nothing to argue.

One night in the winter of that year, the two sisters had a long talk, and a month later, the younger sister Duan Liangren had an unfortunate miscarriage, and after a few months, the elder sister Xianliangren successfully gave birth to a son, and rightfully became the princess of the East China Sea.

Duan Liangren never mentioned the content of that conversation to anyone, even if she was already the imperial concubine, she would say a few words to the emperor.

Han Ruzi was shocked when she heard it, "But...... What if the Queen Mother gave birth to a daughter? ”

"She's willing to take risks, and it's important that she can't lose to me." The imperial concubine told the past in a flat tone, and no one could see how many ups and downs there were in her heart.

"The imperial concubine could refuse at that time, but the queen mother would not ...... You won't be ruthless, will you? Han Ruzi is not particularly sure.

"Of course not, I'm her own sister." The imperial concubine smiled, and then the smile slowly disappeared, like an abandoned deep well, occasionally withered leaves drifted in, rippled, and there was no sound, "I am her own sister, for that promise, I have not been married for three years, and when I enter the palace at the age of seventeen, my sister's request is more important to me than my parents' life, even if she asks me to commit suicide, I will not hesitate to do it at that time." ”

Since having the first prince, the luck of the king of the East China Sea is getting better and better, and the following year he entered Beijing to worship, and more than ten brothers were allowed to stay in the capital, which was the harbinger of Emperor Wu's first abolition of the crown prince, and many people saw it, including the Cui family who leaned towards the government and the opposition.

The Cui family married one of their daughters to the king of the East China Sea, and did not even ask for the title of princess, but only a good person, but rumors were rampant, saying that this was an expedient measure, and Cui Liangren would take the place of the princess of Shangguan sooner or later.

It was from this time that my sister Shangguan Xian began to change, becoming more and more suspicious, feeling that everyone in the palace had been bought by the Cui family, and the only person who could be trusted was my sister Duanliangren.

The prince who had just turned one year was handed over to Duanliang to raise, and Princess Shangguan tried every means to entangle her husband, and the imperial concubine was reluctant to say too much to the young emperor, she emphasized one point: "Emperor Si was raised by me, and I have always treated him as my son, replacing the one I lost." Emperor Si only recognizes me, but he is very strange to his biological mother. ”

Han Ruzi could imagine the situation at that time.

Princess Shangguan succeeded, and the East China Sea Wang Yi had already favored her, but at this time, she was even more favored by one person, and she looked down on other lovers, including Cui Liangren. But after all, he is a man, and occasionally he will be a woman other than the princess, and every time at this time, Princess Shangguan will be very nervous, if she is seriously ill, she will hold her sister's hand and cry, asking her sister to swear that she will take good care of the prince in the future.

Almost all the lovers and palace maids who have been fortunate to be in the East China Sea will soon receive the health soup sent by Duan Liangren personally, unlike the jealous sister, Duan Liangren has a gentle personality and a good reputation in the throne, and no one suspects her ulterior motives.

"There is an abortion pill in the soup, I drank it back then, and the prescription is still there, I don't know how many fetuses I have killed, I am the hoe in my sister's hand, not only to get rid of weeds, but also to leave serious seedlings. I do these things, not only for my sister, but also for Sidi, who grew up under my care, and I don't want him to have too many competitors. ”

The imperial concubine had no guilt when she said these things, and she was really as ruthless as a hoe.

Han Ruzi felt a chill in his body, and then a question arose: Why were he and the King of the East China Sea not eliminated?

The birth of the two brothers was born out of a series of accidents and coincidences.

The Shangguan sisters can control almost everyone in the palace, with only one exception, that is Cui Liangren, she has a huge family as the backing, and the slaves and maids around her are all brought by herself, and others can't move.

Cui Liangren never concealed his covetousness for the position of princess, and publicly claimed that the Cui family would put the king of the East China Sea on the throne, and the only condition was that she would be the future queen.

Cui Liangren looked down on anyone, especially the Shangguan sisters, so when she was pregnant, Duanliangren's trick of sending soup was useless.

Under the influence of the princess, his impression of Cui Liangren is getting worse and worse, and he even regrets marrying her into the door, but it is impossible to go back, so he can only try not to meet.

Just like ordinary couples, there are sometimes conflicts between the king of the East China Sea and the princess, the cause is not big, usually related to the jealousy of the princess, and every time it ends with the princess's pear blossom with rain and the change of heart of the king of the East China Sea.

But that time, the two had a stiff quarrel, which lasted for half a month, and even now, the princess of Shangguan still suspected that the king of the East China Sea deliberately created a conflict at that time, in order to temporarily leave the princess's surveillance and leave the woman with peace of mind.

"Emperor Huan is a good husband, a good emperor, and a man, even if he doesn't go out to steal fish, it's good, but the fishiness at home can't be wiped out at all."

Looking at the bewildered emperor, the imperial concubine smiled, "I'm also confused, I actually told you this." ”

It was during that conflict that the king of the East China Sea was fortunate to have several lovers and maids, two of whom were pregnant, and the distance between them was less than ten days, which triggered a big war in the palace.

The pregnant lover is the daughter of the Cui family, and the maid is Han Ruzi's mother.

Princess Shangguan made a big fuss, but it was useless, no matter how much Wang Ye of the East China Sea liked her, he would not get rid of his children. Princess Shangguan changed her tactics and mobilized everyone to speak ill of Cui Liangren, which is not difficult, Cui Liangren is arrogant and habitual, leaving a lot of handles, and finally, the king of the East China Sea swore that he would never change the princess, and soon won the identity of the prince for the prince.

The matter is over, during the civil war in the palace, the pregnant maid surnamed Wang was not concerned, and she never revealed the news of her pregnancy to anyone, and when the pregnancy could no longer be hidden, she made an extremely bold move: go to see the princess with her belly, kowtow and confess, and ask the princess to send her and the fetus in her belly.

The princess had no other choice, since she couldn't get rid of the child in Cui Liangren's womb, it would be a little redundant to work a maid. The princess persuaded her with good words, and declared in public that she would treat the child's maid as her own, and after learning that the maid was likely to be pregnant a few days earlier than Cui Liangren, the princess wanted to stay.

Han Ruzi was shocked when she heard this, it turned out that her life was in danger before she was born, and it was hard to imagine how much pressure her mother was under at that time, and what kind of wisdom and courage she had to dare to meet Princess Shangguan directly.

Han Ruzi misses her mother, and her heart aches slightly.

The two sons of the East China Sea Wang Ye were born smoothly, one is named Han Song and the other is called Han Shu.

Cui Liangren was worried that his son would be poisoned by the people of the palace, so he found every excuse to send his son to Cui's house, and stayed for several months at a time.

The maid of the king's maid was not in the capital, she was helpless, and she did not get a name after giving birth to her son, but she no longer had to be a maid, and was arranged by the princess to live in a small courtyard and live a prisoner-like life.

Han Ruzi still has an impression of that courtyard, and it is a good impression.

In the thirty-sixth year of Zhongmiao, Emperor Wu summoned all his children and grandchildren, and Han Ruzi also went, leaving an obscure memory, in fact, it was also the result of a struggle.

Han Ruzi was not recorded in the clan genealogy for a long time after he was born, and to the royal family, he was a non-existent person. The maid of the king did not know where to learn the news that Emperor Wu had summoned his children and grandchildren, and bought a slave and maid, and the slave and maid were transferred to the family outside the mansion and reported to the Zongzheng Mansion, saying that the king of the East China Sea also had a son.

Zongzhengfu verified it, included the emperor's grandson Han Song in the pedigree, and issued an edict at the same time, accusing the princess of being jealous and immoral, and ordering her to repent immediately.

Han Ruzi was finally able to enter the palace to meet his grandfather Emperor Wu, after that, his position stabilized, but his mother was subjected to a series of revenge from the princess, and it was not easy to live until now.

"The Queen Mother is a person who holds grudges, and once she has all the power, she will continue to take revenge." The imperial concubine said.

The more Han Ruzi listened, the more shocked he became, and his doubts became heavier and heavier, and he asked, "What about you, are you just trying to avenge the depraved son more than ten years ago?" ”

The imperial concubine shook her head, "I have a son, not the one I fell into a moment of confusion and ruthlessness, but the Emperor Si who I raised single-handedly - I want to avenge him." ”
