"Oh?" Emperor Ning narrowed his eyes slightly, his smile still kind, "Listen to what Chang'er said, but those generals over there are bullying Chang'er? Tell me, what is going on? How dare you let my Chang'er
If you are wronged, you must not let it go lightly."
Yun Chang was silent for a moment and said calmly, "Father, you are worrying too much. Chang'er has always been self-aware. Chang'er is a daughter's family, and she is a daughter who was raised in a deep palace and doesn't know anything about military strategy. How can she know anything about the business?"
When soldiers fight, things on the battlefield naturally have to be listened to by those generals." After saying that, a murderous intention flashed in her eyes at the right time. Although it was only fleeting, Yun Shang knew that Emperor Ning who had been looking at her must be
Saw it.
As soon as he finished speaking, Prince Jing turned his head, with a bit of coldness in his eyes, and a mocking smile on his lips, "Shang'er is too kind. The guard at the border will make a fool of himself, so naturally he can't help it."
He was willing to let others intervene, but he went too far. Not only did he not listen to Chang'er's words, he also ignored Chang'er's comfort. Chang'er was kidnapped to the Xia Army camp and was injured by the poisonous smoke from Liu Yinfeng's formation.
If my younger brother hadn't arrived and brought Mr. Qing Cang, who is good at breaking formations, Chang'er would have..."
Prince Jing paused, lowered his head, and snorted coldly.
When Emperor Ning heard this, veins popped up on his forehead, and he slapped the imperial court fiercely, "Who is so brave?" He paused and then said, "But that Qi Lang? I will definitely peel him off.
His skin is not good."
Yun Chang took a step forward, took Emperor Ning's hand and said softly, "Father, isn't Chang'er okay? Besides, General Qi deserves to be commended for leading the troops to victory this time. But General Qi is already old.
Gao, it's not appropriate to fight on the battlefield anymore, why not give him a job as an idle official and let him take off his armor and return to the fields."
When Prince Jing heard this, he was silent for a moment, and finally nodded, "Okay, I'll take it from Yi Chang'er."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a voice singing from outside, "The Imperial Concubine Jin has arrived."
Jin Guifei? Yun Shang was stunned for a moment, and then she felt a little happy. It was probably because her mother concubine gave birth to Chen Xi, and her father was promoted to her position. Thinking of this, she turned around eagerly and looked at
A woman walks in from the door.
She is dressed in a plain palace dress, with a large silver cloak trimmed with fox fur, and a wide skirt flowing behind her, elegant and luxurious. Her black jade-like green silk hair is tied into a flying fairy bun, and her white jade steps are swaying as she walks.
A pair of eyes flashed with brilliance, and a faint smile appeared on the lips.
"Shang'er..." Concubine Jin was in a hurry. As soon as she saw Yun Shang, she hurried over, took Yun Shang's hand and looked up and down for a long time, then smiled and said, "Shang'er is back. It's okay. It's okay.
That's fine." Yun Shang saw her eyes filled with worry, and couldn't help but feel soft in her heart. She held her hand with a smile, "Concubine, Chang'er is fine."
Emperor Ning looked at Concubine Jin with gentle eyes. Seeing that both of them were a little excited, he also looked at Concubine Jin with some amusement and said, "You worry day and night. You see what I said is right. Chang'er is not
Something will happen."
After saying that, he said to Yun Shang, "You were not in the palace a few days ago, and your mother and concubine were like looking at the stone. They kept asking me when Chang'er would come back. Now it's better, you are finally back.
You mother and daughter must have endless whispers, so Concubine Jin will take Shang'er to the Jinxiu Palace. I will talk to the emperor's brother for a while, and I will take the emperor's brother over for dinner later."
Concubine Jin nodded, smiled and took Yun Shang's hand and said, "You haven't seen your brother for several months. He should be awake at this time..."
Yun Shang nodded with a smile, "Okay, I don't know what Chen Xi looks like, whether she looks more like a mother and concubine or more like a father." The two mother and daughter left the Qinzheng Palace together, and Concubine Jin arrived with Yun Shang.
In front of a palace.
Yun Shang raised her eyes and looked directly above the palace gate, where three words were written: Jinxiu Palace.
I remembered that my father seemed to have asked my mother-in-law to take her back to Jinxiu Palace. Could it be that my mother-in-law no longer lives in Qiwu Palace, but here? What happened in the palace during her absence?
Concubine Jin took Yun Shang into Jinxiu Palace. There were many people in Jinxiu Palace. As soon as they saw Concubine Jin coming in, they quickly saluted and said, "I have met the master." However, they looked at Yun Shang with some curiosity. These palace ladies looked at Yun Shang.
She was born very tight, and I am afraid that she just entered the palace not long ago, so naturally she would not recognize Yun Shang.
All the way through the front yard filled with plum blossoms and into the front hall, a familiar figure walked out. Seeing the surprise on Yun Shang's face, he came forward in a few steps, "Princess...Princess, you are back!"
"
Yun Shang smiled and took Nanny Zheng's hand and nodded, "Yes, Nanny, Shang'er is back."
"Come in and talk. It's cold outside, but don't freeze." Nanny Zheng said quickly, pulling Yun Shang into the main hall. Yun Shang raised her eyes and looked around. Yun Shang had been to this Jinxiu Palace once before.
It already felt very prosperous, but now that Concubine Jin has moved in, it seems to have been re-decorated, making it a bit more magnificent than before.
Concubine Jin asked the palace maids to serve tea, then withdrew, leaving only Aunt Zheng waiting on her side.
When there was no one around, Yun Shang withdrew her gaze and looked at Concubine Jin, "Why did the concubine move to Jinxiu Palace?"
Concubine Jin smiled slightly and said calmly, "With the dawn, the emperor said that the side hall of Qiwu Palace was a bit nondescript after all, so he asked me to move here and find some more nannies and maids to serve."
Yun Shang saw that although Concubine Jin was smiling, there was no joy in her eyes, so she felt that something might have happened, but Concubine Jin didn't want her to worry about it, so she probably wouldn't tell her. She pondered in her heart for a moment.
, Yun Shangcai smiled slightly and said, "It's quite spacious." After a pause, he took a sip of tea, and then said, "Before my daughter left, she locked up the queen. Prime Minister Li collaborated with the enemy and treason. If it was his
If my daughter continues to occupy the position of queen, I am afraid that she will cause dissatisfaction among the officials in the court."
Hearing this, Concubine Jin was silent for a moment before sighing, "The emperor has issued a decree to abolish Li Yiran's position as queen."
The queen was deposed... Yun Shang couldn't help but squinted her eyes. Since Li Yiran had been deposed, who else in the harem could take up this position except the mother and concubine. Moreover, the mother and concubine had not yet given birth to a child.
Prince, why was the mother-in-law only promoted to a noble concubine, but not a queen?
Yun Shang's fingers holding the tea cup were slightly hot, but after a while she asked an unrelated matter, "Prime Minister Li has also been deposed. Who holds the position of prime minister now?"
"Jingkui, the former minister of Taichang Temple." Concubine Jin paused and then said softly.
Yun Shang almost knocked over the tea cup. She naturally knew who this person was, but who he was was not that important. What was important was that he was Jing Wenxi's father.
A hint of anger flashed in Yun Shang's eyes, "Jingkui, the minister of Taichang Temple? How could he become the prime minister? What about Jing Wenxi?"
Concubine Jin was silent for a longer time this time. Yun Shang couldn't wait for Concubine Jin's response, so she raised her eyes and looked at Aunt Zheng, "Mammy, tell me, what happened when I was away?
How did Jingkui become prime minister?"
Aunt Zheng sighed, glanced at Concubine Jin, and saw that although she didn't look too good, she didn't stop her, so she said, "Li Jingyan rebelled and the government was unstable. Jing Kui almost dispersed all the money in the family and placed it one by one.
Those officials persuaded the people who were originally from Li Jingyan's party and wiped out almost all the hidden forces of the Li family in the imperial city. The emperor made Jing Kui the prime minister. The first time he issued an edict, Jing Kui...
He resisted the decree and only said that his daughter had offended Princess Yunshang and Prince Jing and is still in prison. He did this just to beg the emperor to let his daughter go."
Yun Shang sneered, with a hint of coldness in her voice, "So my father let Jing Wenxi go, and by the way, he personally invited Jing Kui to be the prime minister, and maybe he even promised Prime Minister Jing to let his daughter enter the hospital."
Is it right for the palace to be a concubine or even a queen?" The more Yun Shang spoke, the more angry she felt in her heart.
Concubine Jin was silent for a moment, then took Yun Shang's hand, smiled and shook her head, "Shang'er, my concubine doesn't care about this. Concubine I have you, and now I have the morning sun, which is enough."
Yun Chang's fingers trembled slightly, "It was Chang'er who had caused the mother-in-law to suffer. If Chang'er had not punished his anger when he came to Fengcheng, such a result would not have occurred." However, the coldness in his eyes became stronger, "It's just that
I'm afraid that this Jing Kui is not a brainless person. He begged his father to let Jing Wenxi go, but he only said that Jing Wenxi was imprisoned because he liked Prince Jing and offended me, but he never mentioned that she had evil intentions and almost killed someone.
Chenxi's life." After saying this, Yun Shang looked at Concubine Jin with some hindsight. Seeing that her expression was a bit depressed, she remembered that Chenxi was the child born to the concubine in ten months' pregnancy.
Mother and son are connected. The way Jing Wenxi treated Chen Xi, the mother and concubine must have hated her, but now the father...
Yun Chang stood up and said, "Concubine, why don't Chang'er take you to Prince Jing's Mansion to stay for a while."
When Concubine Jin heard this, she laughed, touched Yun Shang's hair and said, "Silly Shang'er, how can there be any reason for the mother-in-law to live in Prince Jing's Mansion? Moreover, in a month's time there will be a grand ceremony for the conquest of the queen, and the emperor will hold the ceremony
Leave it to me to organize it, I've been too busy lately and I can't leave."
Yun Shang was just guessing. When Concubine Jin said this, she became even more furious. When Jing Wenxi did those things, his father was obviously there, so why did he still make Jing Wenxi the queen?
"Your father..." Concubine Jin spoke softly, "There has just been turmoil in the DPRK. Both the north and the south are at war. Stabilizing the situation in the DPRK and China is the most important thing now..."
When Yun Shang listened to Concubine Jin's tepid words, her heart suddenly felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on her, extinguishing the anger in her heart. However, she looked at Concubine Jin in a daze.
She had felt something was wrong when she was in the Zhengdian Palace, but now this feeling became more and more intense.
The mother and concubine... Even after staying in the cold palace for more than ten years, she returned to her father, and she still had some faint love for him. However, the mother and concubine never noticed it. She was a bystander, so she saw
It's obvious. It's just that when she was in Qinzheng Palace, the mother-in-law almost ignored her father. She didn't even say a word to him. She just thought that the mother-in-law was too excited to see her and forgot about it. But now I heard that
She spoke of her father indifferently, with neither sadness nor joy in her eyes, but Yun Shang suddenly felt that maybe her father had really hurt her mother's heart this time, so she had locked her heart away.
Got up.
Yun Shang was silent for a long time, then took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and nodded, "Concubine, I know you are hurt, but now I'm afraid you don't care at all, but Jing Wenxi, I must
I won't let her have the chance to sit on the position of queen. Even if she does, I will personally pull her down. That woman is too dangerous. Now that she has Jing Kui's support, I'm worried about her influence on her mother, concubine, and Chen Xi.
Unfortunately, I will never allow anyone to threaten the safety of my mother-in-law and my brother."
Yun Shang had regained her composure. Concubine Jin raised her eyes and looked at Yun Shang in a daze for a long time before saying, "You can make the decision. Now my Chang'er is already a person of her own mind."
After Yun Shang drank two or three cups of tea and had completely calmed down, Concubine Jin looked at Yun Shang's face and whispered, "Is what the letter from Chang'er that day said true? Jing
King him..."
Yun Shang was stunned for a moment before understanding what Concubine Jin meant. She was silent for a moment before nodding her head, "Yes, Your Majesty, he is indeed the son of the Emperor of Xia Kingdom. More than twenty years ago, the first empress of Xia Kingdom accompanied the emperor on a personal expedition, but in
I found out I was pregnant on the battlefield. It was just a war crisis. I was also afraid of encountering an accident on the way back, so I decided to raise the baby in the camp, but I didn’t want to be chased by the enemy and fall off a cliff..."
"Then how can we be sure that Prince Jing is the son of the Emperor of Xia? After all, the first empress of Xia has passed away after such a long time." Concubine Jin was silent for a moment, still a little suspicious.
Yun Shang shook her head, "I don't know either. It's just that Duke Hua of Xia State insisted that the prince is the son of the first empress of Xia State, and Duke Hua is the father of the first empress. I'm afraid it can't be wrong, and I'm afraid that Duke Hua has already asked the prince to confirm it.
After that, I mentioned this matter to the prince several times, and he acquiesced."
"That's it..." Concubine Jin murmured, "Then what are you going to do? Now that your father knows about this matter, with his temperament, he probably won't let it go. Xia Jun let him eat so much this time
What a shame, he knows Prince Jing’s life experience at this time..."
Yun Shang's eyes were also a little worried, but she just said, "It doesn't matter, I'm afraid the prince already has a way to deal with it..."
Concubine Jin looked at Yun Shang for a long time before saying, "What will you do if Prince Jing goes to Xia Kingdom?"
Yun Shang smiled faintly, "Since I have married him, I should naturally follow him wherever he goes. Mother and concubine, there is no need to worry, I am not a weak woman, and I will never suffer any loss no matter where I am."
of."
When Concubine Jin heard what Yun Shang said, the worry in her heart faded a little, and she laughed, "Your grandfather came to the imperial city a few days ago, and I told him about you, and then I realized that you were not in the palace.
Life was very exciting in those years. Your grandfather was a tutor before and he always thought highly of himself. He praised you a lot. I think you must be very good as well, so my mother and concubine will naturally feel relieved."
Hearing this, Yun Shang chuckled, "I was very naughty when I was with my grandfather. My grandfather suffered a lot from me, so naturally he wanted to say nice things for me. He was just afraid that if I was unhappy, he would do it again.
Go and harm him."
"You..." Concubine Jin stretched out her hand and touched Yun Shang's eyebrows, smiled and shook her head, "Your grandfather left the imperial city after only a few days. He only said that you had something to ask him to do, and he also gave the piano to you."
Yi Ye was taken away, what did you instruct your grandfather to do?"
When Yun Shang heard Concubine Jin mention this, she suddenly remembered, "Hey, I forgot. I also asked my grandfather to do a big thing for me. I can't tell my mother and concubine now, but she will naturally do it after a while."
knew."
Just as he was talking, he heard Emperor Ning's voice coming from outside, "I heard your laughter from so far away, what are you talking about?"
Yun Shang saw that the smile on Concubine Jin's face disappeared completely when she heard the voice. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart, then stood up pretending to be nothing, and walked towards Emperor Ning who walked in.
A gift, "Father, my mother just scolded Chang'er for being bold, and she ran to the battlefield alone. In order to make her mother happy, Chang'er told some embarrassing things that happened in Ningguo Temple before. Just now she was talking about Wu Na
The abbot did not allow Chang'er to eat meat in the temple, and he went on a vegetarian diet for a long time. One day, Chang'er really wanted to eat meat, but didn't know where it was. Seeing that the abbot had raised some pigeons, Chang'er secretly
Let Qinyi kill and roast him, but the abbot will be very angry."
Emperor Ning also burst out laughing, not noticing at all that Yun Shang's eyes were cold, "You were used to causing trouble when you were a child. I'm afraid you were restless in Ningguo Temple, and it made it difficult for the abbot Wu to come, and he didn't even come.
Complain to me."
Yun Shang also smiled along with him and walked to Prince Jing. Prince Jing was being supported by a chamberlain. Yun Shang walked over and helped Prince Jing to sit on a chair. He smiled and said to Concubine Jin, "Shang
My son is in a hurry these days, so my concubine must have someone prepare something delicious for me today."
Concubine Jin smiled slightly and nodded, "Okay." Then she looked at Prince Jing's legs and frowned slightly, "Is Prince Jing injured?"
Prince Jing had already sat down, and when he heard Concubine Jin's question, he raised his head and nodded with a smile, "We were besieged by the Xia army in Jingyang. At that time, we only had 200,000 people, and the Xia army had more than 600,000 people. Fortunately,
Chang'er begged General Kangyang to lead troops to rescue me, otherwise I might not be able to come back alive. However, I was injured and fell into a coma for several days. Even on the way back, Chang'er was taking care of me. I woke up a few days ago.
Come."
"Is it so serious? Can it be seen by the imperial doctor?" Concubine Jin showed some worry on her face and kept asking.
Emperor Ning on the side smiled and said, "I just asked the imperial doctor to come and take a look. He said that the wound healed well, but it cracked again a few days ago. I'm afraid it will take some time to recover. You can't be too tired these days.
"
Concubine Jin was silent for a moment, then stood aside and asked Aunt Zheng to prepare the meal.
Prince Jing seemed to have noticed something was wrong. He raised his eyes and glanced at Yun Shang. Yun Shang smiled and shook his head. He held Prince Jing's hand. A cold look flashed in his eyes. Prince Jing lowered his head and said nothing.
.
"The prince is injured, so he should be taken care of in the palace. My father can't send too many things to the prince." Yun Shang said with a smile.
Emperor Ning was a little embarrassed by Concubine Jin's lukewarm attitude. Seeing Yun Shang say this, he also smiled and said, "I don't dare."
Yun Shang chatted with Emperor Ning for a while. The thing Ning Emperor asked the most about was what happened to Yun Shang in the camp. On the way, Yun Shang and Prince Jing had already discussed the answers, so he took it easy.
After a while, Concubine Jin served food, and the four of them ate something together. Just as the nanny came out with Chen Xi, Yun Shang hugged Chen Xi and teased her aside. Chen Xi is now four months old, Zhang
It bloomed a lot, it was white and tender, and very cute. Not to mention that she didn't know how to be born, Yun Shang actually laughed very happily while holding it, which made Yun Shang also laugh for a long time.
The nanny said that the little prince should be breastfeeding, and Yun Chang returned the morning sun to the nanny. She turned to look at Emperor Ning with a calm expression and said, "Seeing the morning sun, I suddenly remembered that Chang'er was at the border gate before.
Sometimes I heard that Chang'er, who went to Yelang Kingdom to do business, came back and said that the imperial sister had become the concubine of the eldest prince of Yelang Kingdom, and she seemed to be pregnant with the eldest prince's child..."
The hall fell silent, and Yun Shang saw Emperor Ning frown slightly, with obvious displeasure flashing in his eyes.
Yun Shang then smiled faintly and said, "I just saw Chen Xi Shang'er and suddenly remembered that although Prime Minister Li did some treacherous things, he was not as guilty as his children. Moreover, the imperial sister still has the legacy of her father.
It’s just a pity that Prime Minister Li and the Prime Minister did such a thing, and even the Queen helped her. The Queen was also like that before." After a pause, Yun Shang sighed and said, "It seems
, the words and deeds of the elders can sometimes have a profound impact on children. However, the prince of Yelang Kingdom seems not to know about Prime Minister Li and the Queen, and he is planning to take the imperial sister to Ning Kingdom to pay his respects to his father."
A flash of anger flashed in Emperor Ning's eyes, and he looked at Yun Shang steadily, but he saw that she was smiling, as if she just mentioned it casually when she thought of it, and he felt even more disgusted in his heart. He frowned and said, "
I don’t want a daughter who doesn’t know how to behave.”
Hearing this, Yun Shang frowned slightly and sighed, "Sister Huang was very protective of me when I was a child, but later..." After saying that, she pulled Concubine Jin with a smile and said, "Concubine, don't worry.
Chang'er will definitely take good care of Chen Xi. If someone wants to bully him, I will definitely not spare him at all, and I will always love him that way."
Concubine Jin smiled slightly and said, "Concubine I believe in Chang'er."
Emperor Ning looked back and forth between Concubine Jin and Yun Shang for a long time, but in the end he just frowned and did not speak. Yun Shang pretended as if nothing had happened, and started joking with Emperor Ning again.
Not long after Emperor Ning stayed in the Splendid Palace, he saw Manager Zheng walking over in a hurry. He called out to the Emperor, then raised his eyes and looked at Prince Jing, Yun Shang and Concubine Jin, and said nothing more.
Emperor Ning saw that Concubine Jin had a rare smile on her face because of Yun Shang, so he said casually, "What's the matter?"
Manager Zheng hesitated for a moment and then said, "Miss Jing came into the palace to ask to see the emperor..."
Hearing this, Yun Shang suddenly raised her eyes and frowned, "Miss Jing? What Miss Jing? The only lady named Jing in the imperial city that I know of is Jing Wenxi, the daughter of Jingkui, the minister of Taichang Temple."
, I remember that Jing Wenxi gave Chenxi a brocade handkerchief that had been used by a patient with acne, causing Chenxi to get acne and almost die, so he locked Jing Wenxi in prison. Could it be that
