On the day Han Zhen returned to the court, Chu Sheng personally led a hundred officials to greet him, gave him a hundred taels of gold, and appointed him as a squire of the military department. Since then, the situation in which the Great Zhou military power is in the hands of one person has finally changed, although it is only a small corner, it is also the beginning of a new situation.

Time flies, and time waits for no one. It's the season of ginkgo biloba again, and the emperor went to Taichang Palace early on the day of Chu Jing's anniversary festival, and he sat all day. Yu'er was wrapped in vegetarian chanting scriptures in her palace, and she didn't enter all day. She only hoped that these verses would enable her children to attain bliss and a good family in the next life.

I haven't seen it for a year, and the ginkgo biloba in the imperial garden is still so upright, and the fallen leaves are flying, tactfully and sadly. The palace maids were still laughing and picking the fruit on the tree, but the thing was wrong, and the little figure could only be found in memory. Yu'er held Jinxin's hand and paced slowly, she didn't dare to set foot here this year, and now the pain in her heart was still so intense, she only hated to immediately order someone to cut down this tree and burn this garden.

When I was sad, I suddenly heard someone cursing the voice of Chen Lixin from afar and near, and Yu'er was busy hiding behind a rockery with Jinxin. I only heard Chen Lixin's resentful voice say: "But a doll who can't speak yet, if she dies, she will die, and she won't let people live in peace for a year." When Yu'er heard her say this, the pain in her heart seemed to be stronger again.

Chen Lixin continued: "When I saw the emperor in the morning, he actually scolded me for having no conscience for a dead man, I just dressed brightly, do you want me to dress filial piety for him all day long!" The palace maid beside her listened to her too ugly, and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade: "Niangniang, carefully divide the wall and have ears, if these words reach the emperor's ears, he will be unhappy again!" ”

With a "snap", Chen Lixin slapped the little palace maid angrily and scolded: "Even you want to teach me a lesson?" That kid had a birthday with the emperor, and now that he is dead, it is really unlucky, if I want me to say that I should find a mage to do a ritual! ”

Yu'er was already trembling with anger and couldn't listen to it anymore. She walked out quickly from behind the rockery, Chen Lixin was startled when she saw her at first glance, and hurriedly bent her knees to ask for peace: "The concubine sees the Yugui concubine Niangniang, the maiden Wanfu Jin'an." ”

Yu'er didn't scream, she approached step by step, and laughed angrily: "What did you just say about King Rui?" ”

"Back to Niangniang, the concubine didn't mention King Rui, did Niangniang hear it?" Chen Lixin stood up, and fine beads of sweat were already oozing from her forehead.

"Oh? It seems that I really have bad ears, and it seems that I have heard that someone is looking for a mage to do something, and you can rest assured that I will definitely convey your request to the emperor. Yu'er's hand holding Jinxin was already trembling slightly, and she said with the pain in her heart.

Chen Lixin hurriedly knelt down, kowtowed again and again, and said: "The concubine was lost for a while, talking nonsense, and hoping that the mother would atone for her sins!" ”

Yu'er really didn't want to say anything more to her, so she turned around and walked away quickly.

When I returned to the palace, I felt that my liver and intestines were broken, Jing'er~ It was all the incompetence of the mother concubine, and now that you have gone, you have let those people slander you behind your back, you wait a little longer, the mother concubine must let those people repay you tenfold and hundredfold!

I don't know which palace it came from, it is said that King Rui was born on the Wanshou Festival and now dies is a bad omen, and in the end, even the Queen Mother has voiced that the emperor will ask the emperor to ask Qin Tianjian to see if there is any indication and make plans as soon as possible. Chu Sheng was furious and severely punished a few people who loved to chew the root of their tongue.

Yu'er looked at Jinxin in the main hall and said, "These rumors about asking you to take a walk in the palace these days are difficult for you, and now it seems that you don't have to go anymore!" ”

Jinxin bent his knees slightly, and replied: "What is the trivial matter of the slave and maid of Rui Wang, and besides, the little master Li and the little master Xi have also helped a lot, and the girl has also taken a lot of effort." ”

Yu'er nodded and said, "I naturally know, you thank her for me!" ”

"Yes, the slave knows!"

As soon as the emperor entered the main hall of the Splendid Palace, he saw Yu'er sitting on a chair crying silently, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold her and asked, "What's wrong with Yu'er?" ”

Yu'er turned around, and as soon as she screamed with tears on her face: "Chu Sheng....." was speechless. The emperor hugged her, patted her on the back of her neck to help her calm down, and asked anxiously, "What's wrong, you tell me." ”

Yu'er broke away from him, knelt down with a thud, and choked up: "Your Majesty, it's not good to be a concubine, Jing'er was born on the Wanshou Festival, and now that she is gone, they all say that they are afraid that they are going to collide with you." Yu'er is so scared! If that's the case, what else does Yu'er have to live! ”

Chu Sheng pulled her up and pressed her on the chair, and said softly beside her: "Silly girl, I have severely punished those people for chewing their tongues, you still take it to heart, Jing'er is a good boy, and my birthday is a gift from God, but he has a shallow relationship with me." As he spoke, there were faint tears in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, Lan Xiuyi is also thinking about you, she is right, a doll who can't speak will die when she dies, and the living must always think about themselves!" Yu'er lay in Chu Sheng's arms, crying pear blossoms with rain.

"What, she said something like that?" Chu Sheng was anxious, and the green tendons on his forehead were distinct.

"Your Majesty, don't blame her, she is also kind-hearted, it's all Yu'er's incompetence, you should send Yu'er to the cold palace, so that the Queen Mother can rest assured."

"What nonsense? Don't think about it anymore, Jing'er is my son, the pride of the sky, how can people be so slandered, I think someone should go to the cold palace. As he spoke, he took Yu'er into his arms and comforted him carefully.

The emperor's decree was sent to Ronghe Palace in the evening, abolishing Chen Lixin's position in the ceremony, stripped of all titles, and sent to Guanju Palace. The name of Guan Ju Palace is very beautiful, but it is a pity that it has been abandoned for many years, and it is a cold palace that everyone in the palace knows, and it has always been the final fate of some criminal concubines. Chen Lixin cried and grabbed the ground, cursing Yu'er and King Rui loudly, Li Fu couldn't see that she was really unorthodox, so he ordered someone to gag her mouth with rags and throw her into the Guanju Palace.

On the other side, Yu'er has been kneeling in the small Buddha hall of the Splendid Palace and chanting, children~ These people are snakes and scorpions, it is not a pity to die, and the mother concubine will want them to bury them all for you!

The fall of Lan Xiuyi made everyone see the weight of King Rui and Yu Guifei in the emperor's heart, and no one dared to talk behind his back from then on.

"Sister, my mother sent someone to send a message, and there is a great joy in the family!" As soon as she entered the door, she shouted happily.

"What makes you like this?" Yu'er asked happily when she saw her like this.

"Father has been promoted! Now he is the governor of Jiangsu. Su'er sat down and took a big sip of tea, and replied happily.

"Oh?" Yu'er frowned slightly, groaned slightly, and said lightly: "Although my father is an honest official, he is too upright and does not know how to do things, and he has been a prefect for many years and has not been promoted, why was he promoted at this time?" ”

When Su'er heard her say this, she lost the joy of Fang Cai, lowered her head and pondered for a long time, and replied: "The appointment of official positions has always been drawn up by the Military Aircraft Department, and then decided by the emperor. Concubine Niangniang's father is the Minister of Military Aircraft, could it be that she helped from it? What did she mean by this overture? ”

Yu'er smiled slightly, stood up and said, "What do you mean, what can we guess here?" Come with me to Yongfu Palace. ”

The two sisters came to the side hall with the chamberlain of Yongfu Palace, and Concubine Shu was talking to the eldest prince, who was now at the age of going to the imperial study, and Concubine Shu was teaching him to read carefully. Yu'er's eyes were hot when she saw this, if his Jing'er was also there..... I couldn't bear to think about it anymore, so I hurriedly shook my head and bent my knees with Su'er to ask for peace: "The minister/concubine see Shufei Niangniang, Niangniang Wanfu Jin'an." Concubine Shu waved her hand, motioned for them to get up, and asked someone to take the eldest prince away, before she said with a smile: "Why are my sisters here?" As he spoke, he ordered someone to serve tea.

"I just passed by Yongfu Palace, thinking about saying hello to my sister in the future, so I came in to see my sister." Yu'er smiled and replied to Shang.

"Sisters, you have a heart, try this flower tea, it was just mixed by Moqin and said that it is the best for beauty and beauty, can you taste it?" Concubine Shu picked up the teacup and took the first sip.

The two of them hurriedly picked up the teacup and tasted it carefully.

Putting down the teacup, Su'er replied: "I have drunk a lot of this flower tea since I was a child, but it is really different from Niangniang's, Niangniang's tea is gorgeous in color and fragrant in the mouth, which makes people have an endless aftertaste." Concubine Shu smiled heartily when she heard her so flattering, and said, "It's just some ordinary flower tea, if my sister likes to go, remember to bring some back." ”

Yu'er listened to her two cheering each other, and she couldn't interject for a while, so she could only think about how to ask about her father in her heart, and when she was thinking about it, she listened to the words of the first concubine and asked: "I heard that your father has been promoted recently, congratulations to Lord Situ!" ”

The two sisters hurriedly stood up and curtched back: "Thank you, Niangniang!" ”

Concubine Shu nodded with a smile and said, "You don't have to be so polite, sit down and talk!" ”

"Father's promotion is an excellent thing, but his old man is not good at being an official, and the concubine is really worried that he has a negative trust!" Although Yu'er said this, there was no worry on her face, but she stared at Concubine Shu in a daze.

"What is my sister talking about, Lord Situ is an honest official, and promotion is a reasonable thing, what do you have to worry about! Put your heart in your stomach and be your concubine! ”

"With my sister, my sister is much more relieved." After saying that, the three of them stopped mentioning the matter, and said something else.

After drinking a cup of tea, Su'er got up and said goodbye, saying: "I'll go back first when I'm bothered for a long time today, and if my sister has any instructions in the future, just send someone to pass the word!" ”

"Okay, I remember!" Then he turned his head to the outside and said, "Dai painting, pack two bags of flower tea for Yu Guifei and Li Jieyu to bring back!" ”

On the way, Su'er asked, "Sister, what do you think the lady lady means?" ”

Yu'er shook her head: "What do you think?" ”

"She took the initiative to mention her father's promotion, it seems that this matter is really related to her, but she still doesn't understand what she means by this!"

"There are only two things, one is to win people's hearts and want us to belong to her, and the other is to show strength, tell us that she can influence our father's career, and warn us not to go against her!"

"What does that sister mean?"

Yu'er sighed and pondered: "At the moment, we have no conflict with her, since she has shown favor to us to sell her favor, if there is really something in the future, we will have the opportunity to act again!" ”

"That's it!"

That night, Yu'er called Jinxin, "How is that person in the cold palace?" ”

"Back to Niangniang, I have already ordered someone to greet her well! It's just that she still curses her mother day and night, and her words are extremely vicious. Jinxin said with an angry face, but Yu'er didn't take it to heart with a smile on her face: "Let her scold for a few more days, I'm just afraid that she won't have a chance to talk in the future!" As he spoke, he let Jinxin wait for him to change his clothes and go to bed.

Since Han Zhen entered the military department, although he is a squire and the emperor appoints him, he is still constrained everywhere and cannot really grasp the real power, everything is still based on Li Shangshu's face. The emperor secretly summoned him several times, and although he was angry, he couldn't do anything for a while. At this time, there was another war on the border, and after being repulsed, the Japanese army returned to China to gather a large army to attack. The people on the border were miserable, just after the battle and now they were attacked by the enemy, the emperor did not think about tea and dinner for a few days, and finally issued an order to meet the battle, and sent General Weiyuan as the commander Han Shilang as the vanguard, leading an army of 50,000 to set off on the same day.

After the morning province, the two Yu'er sisters came to the Qianhe Palace, and the emperor was discussing with the generals in the warm pavilion. And they waited in the side hall. After waiting for a long time, the emperor didn't come out, so he got up and prepared to go back to the palace.

Seeing the two of them, Han Shilang was slightly stunned and knelt down to say goodbye, and shouted: "Weichen see Yugui Concubine Niangniang, see Li Jieyu Little Master!" ”

Yu'er's face was flat, and she didn't look at him, and replied in a low voice: "Get up!" ”

After Han Zhen stood up, he was about to retire, but Su'er stepped forward and called: "Cousin, my mother has sent a message asking you to be careful on the front line, and you must protect yourself without eyes on the sword!" ”

Han Zhen bowed his head and replied, "Thank you for your concern, Weichen must be cautious!" ”

Seeing this, Yu'er also approached the two, looked into the distance, and said in a low voice: "This expedition, fighting under General Weiyuan, if he does something out of the ordinary, you must be willing to add fuel to the fire, but in fact, you don't want to just watch from the sidelines, you must not show your edge, and secretly remember to go back to the palace and report again, so that you may be able to save your life." Without waiting for him to reply, he took the lead and left. Seeing this, Su'er hurriedly followed, leaving Han Zhen alone to look at the backs of the two in a daze.
