Chapter Ninety-Four
"Do you know why your father and mother insisted on letting you out and not keeping you around? It's not that they can't take care of you, they can't bear to delay your future. ”
Chu Yunxi paused word by word, she didn't know if Dong Xiao could understand it, she had to say it, not to mention it to him, in fact, most of it was to persuade herself to take Dong Xiao with her.
Jing Chen handed Yi'er to Mrs. Shangguan, got up and walked to Dong Xiao's side, squatted down, and touched his head, "Follow your aunt to be obedient, she has to take care of many children alone, and Brother Feng, Yu Li, and Yu Lin will also go back together, so you have to be good." Waiting for you to come back when you can, we are all waiting for that day, and your father and mother are also waiting for that day. ”
Yi'er still couldn't understand the conversation between adults, she just remembered that at this moment, everyone seemed to care about Dong Xiao, as if it was him, not her, who was being bullied. It wasn't until many years later that she understood why everyone cared so much about him. And ignore her.
Li Xingyun, who has been investigating the cause of Fang Yaping and Wutong's deaths in Dali, found out that Lu Ming couldn't get out of it, and then found the eyeliner hidden in Shangjing.
He was sure that this person was Lu Ming's person, but as for who it was, he didn't have a clear goal yet. It was only during the interrogation of the captives that the clues were learned.
He was afraid that the news would leak out, so he deliberately passed the news to the secret guards, so that the news would not be leaked out and would go directly to Shangguan Jun's hands. If there is a leak, then everything that has been done before will be wasted.
From the entire Central Plains to the entire Shangjing City, to the Imperial Palace, where is there not a lot of eyeliner. The roots of the Lu clan were rooted in the court as early as the time of Emperor Yin. It's just that with the defeat of the old forces, some nepotism disintegrated, and there was no backbone, and those shrimp soldiers and crab generals slowly fell silent.
But Lu Ming's eyeliner obviously has a thorough and clear understanding of everything that happens in the court, and if this eyeliner is not Shangguan Jun's side, it is the auxiliary minister of the court.
This time, Shangguan Jun made up his mind that Lu Ming must be severely punished. He added another 50,000 troops to support Li Xingyun. This time, because of Guan Liren's sitting, the military reform was implemented very smoothly.
The construction of water conservancy has won the support of the people, and now, the Central Plains is politically clear, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Shangguan Jun became a good emperor loved by everyone. Jingrun, Jingrun, Jingrun, every year, this has become a good story sung in the mouths of the people.
As soon as the politics were clear, some people began to care about the emperor's family affairs. Since ascending the throne, Shangguan Jun has only accepted Chen Yin as a concubine, and only Shangguan Yi'er is the heir of the entire harem, so some people have begun to worry about the emperor, and Zhang Luo has chosen a concubine, filling the harem.
Shangguan Jun's left ear goes in, and his right ear goes out. He has his own attention. He knows exactly what these people are thinking. The news spread quickly, and it spread in the harem in less than two days.
When Jing Chen heard the news, he smiled. He wants to choose a concubine, and of course she won't stop him. It's just why didn't he say hello to her in advance.
Mama Li saw that Jing Chen had wilted for the past two days, and she couldn't lift anything, and at first she thought it was because Li Yuni was gone, and she was a little lost. But after hearing the rumors, I realized that the mother was jealous. The Emperor should know about this.
Mama Li saw Jing Chen leaning on the couch reading a book, and chatting with Jing Chen without a match.
"Niangniang won't take the princess to the Chengqian Palace today?"
Jing Chen was lazy, "No, if Yi'er is making trouble, you can take her there." ”
"Oh." Mama Li secretly pouted, obviously sulking.
"Niangniang, have you ever thought that Concubine Yin Shu has been in the palace for so many years, how can she have no heirs?"
Jing Chen put down the book, she didn't understand what Mama Li was going to say.
"Mama, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it directly."
"Niangniang, the old slave is here, and he can see everything. There are many things that you can't help yourself in the royal family. Even the emperor is no exception. In the half year you left, Yi'er and I stayed in the Chengqian Palace, and the emperor never stayed in the Wanhe Palace. ”
Mama Li peeked at Jing Chen and saw that she didn't dislike what she said, so she continued. "The emperor's heart for you can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, and he was forced to marry Chen Yin in the first place. The royal family is still the heir. The old slave advises you and the emperor to hurry up and have another one, the emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch is in a hurry. ”
Jing Chen sneered and laughed, "A good emperor is not in a hurry, but the eunuch is in a hurry." "It's just that he's not in a hurry, what do you care about.
What Mama Li said is not unreasonable, but she doesn't know if she can still do it with her body. Her father and mother were also very affectionate at the beginning. But for the sake of political stability, he had to take concubines and marry politically. There are some women he obviously doesn't like, but he still wants to bend to meet them. The father stayed in other women's rooms, and the queen mother recited the Buddha in the queen's hall.
She knows that no woman wants to push her beloved to someone else. However, according to the royal law, she is powerless to return to the sky.
Just when Jing Chen lost her mind, Mama Li quietly retreated. Because she saw Shangguan Jun coming in. She bowed slightly, and Shangguan Jun nodded.
Jing Chen was still trapped in her thoughts, and there was a warm breath spraying on her neck, a familiar smell, so she didn't move. As soon as she looked up, Mama Li didn't know when she was gone.
She secretly blamed herself for being an afterthought. In fact, when he came in, he had already heard the conversation between her and Mama Li, and it seemed that she also had ideas about choosing a concubine.
He smiled slightly, "What do you think, so fascinated." ”
She didn't dodge when she arrived, very directly, "I'm thinking about choosing a concubine." ”
"Oh?" Shangguan Jun didn't expect her to be so direct.
"And what do you think?" Shangguan Jun was a little curious.
"You're thinking about which woman is right for you. I'm going to pick a few more this time. Jing Chen looked at him with a smile.
"So generous?" Shangguan Jun is in a rare good mood. Just follow her words and climb up.
Jing Chen was silent, "I also want to choose someone with a fat butt who can give birth to a son." ”
"Hahaha." Shangguan Jun laughed out loud before he could hear her unhappy tone.
Put your arms around her and let her look at him. The two men looked at each other. He has her in his eyes, and she has him in her eyes.
"I'm waiting for you." Shangguan Jun said and touched her belly, and whispered in her ear, "Give Yi'er a brother"
Jing Chen smiled but didn't say anything, she liked this atmosphere very much. Warm and comfortable.
The new 50,000 troops of the imperial court had not yet arrived in Dali, and there was a mutiny in Nanzhao, and the previous lord was imprisoned. The newly enthroned lord immediately announced the dissolution of relations with the Central Plains Dynasty. This time, Li Xingyun was attacked by the enemy on his back and was in a dilemma. Lu Ming took advantage of the situation to attack Dali City. Li Xingyun was seriously injured.
For a time, no one presided over the overall situation.
When the news reached Shangjing, Shangguan Jun was furious, how could the previous 50,000 troops arrive in Dali according to the speed of the march, but now it has not arrived, and there is no news. In addition to being angry, he sent someone to investigate quickly. The family of the commander who led the troops this time was monitored.
However, the bad news came one by one, the previous 50,000 troops were all submissive to Lu Ming, and this time they were under the banner of restoring the Yin dynasty. asked Shangguan Jun to hand over the jade seal and return it to Yin Jingning.
After hearing the news, the entire imperial court was shaken. Isn't Yin Jingning dead a long time ago, hasn't it been found out that he was killed by Yin Wangye. How is it that he has now risen from the dead?
Shangguan Jun knew that this time the matter was more tricky to deal with than any other time, and Long Danian, the commander of the 50,000 infantry, was Yin Jingning's guard officer in the past. Now that the master and servant are seeing each other, this is really not what Shangguan Jun expected.
Didn't Yin Jingning remember what happened before, how could he suddenly rise up again. This time, Yin Jingchen was sandwiched in the middle again, and the palms and backs of his hands were full of meat. Where should she go?
Now, Lu Ming's eyeliner has not been caught, and there is this incident again. Shangguan Jun felt uncomfortable at all. He was irritable and wanted to drink tea. When I opened the tea lid, I found it empty. What's wrong with this girl Biluo, I've never been so derelict in my duties before.
The chief eunuch saw that he was unhappy and hurriedly ordered someone to serve tea.
"Where's Biluo?" Shangguan Jun asked, accustomed to the tea she made. It's a bit inadequate.
"Biluo is sick, afraid of infecting you, and the slave took leave."
I've never seen her take leave, "Are you seriously ill?" Ask a royal doctor to come over and take a look, and just say what I said, let her quickly take care of her body, so that she can come back and make tea for me. ”
The governor received the order and withdrew. Shangguan Jun looked at the tea bowl in front of him and fell into deep thought.
Long Danian also had a lot of prestige in the army, and Shangguan Jun expected this and sent people to the army. He was afraid that someone would incite right and wrong and shake the morale of the army. And he prepared for the worst.
The chief eunuch told Biluo what Shangguan Jun said, and Biluo couldn't help but shed tears. She was his first woman, she was by his side, he thought that he only had Yin Jingchen in his eyes, and he never paid attention to her, so she worked hard to study tea, and she wrote down his preferences during the days when she was on duty in the queen's palace, and when Yin Jingchen asked her to serve Shangguan Jun, she secretly rejoiced.
However, when he wanted to drive her away, she begged him, and she asked for nothing else, as long as he was by his side and could see him all the time. For so many years, she knew Yin Jingchen's place in his heart.
How deeply Yin Jingchen hurt him, how painful she was. When he and Yin Jingchen were together, she secretly hid, she couldn't stand it, she was afraid that she would be blinded by jealousy and do something he couldn't forgive, so she endured it and stood up.
Now, she still betrayed him. Because the man was just as kind to her. If it weren't for him, she would have died a long time ago, and it would have been impossible for her to find her father and recognize him.
Now, he wants him to return the kindness of the year, how can she not repay it. But how hard it was for her. In the end, she still became a bad person.
The chief eunuch shook his head, knowing that the emperor was so good to you, hurry up and get better, and serve the emperor well.
Biluo nodded, and only after the manager had left did she raise her head, her face full of tears.
Li Yuni left Shangjing City with the child and Chu Yunxi, and the queen's palace returned to its former tranquility.
