Rebirth of Yijia

Chapter 180

Le Chengmin was unhappy on one side, but Qi Zhan on the other side didn't respond at all. He and Liang Mingzhi were talking about Concubine Liang, "What are you going to do with Concubine Liang?"

A few days ago, Concubine Liang Gui was only dissatisfied with Yijia's lack of pregnancy, but in the past few days, the internal response of the crown prince who was placed next to Concubine Liang sent news that Concubine Liang had planned to give the two eldest maids of both ages beside her. To Liang Mingzhi as a concubine.Liang Mingzhi had learned about this three days ago, and now, Qi Zhan asked him what his plans were.

"She had a very good plan, but she didn't expect that the emperor would agree to this matter." Liang Mingzhi said.

He knew what my aunt was thinking, but although my aunt was loved, the emperor was not confused.As for himself, he would not abandon His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who was about to ascend to the throne, but chose to assist his aunt, the little baby who was adopted and could not even speak fully.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival the year before last, Liang Peiqing took Lin Meiren into her palace to take care of her.Lin Meiren lived up to her expectations, conceived and gave birth to a son in October, but she collapsed to death.Liang Peiqing only had two princesses, so when she mentioned it to the emperor, the seventh prince born by Lin Meiren was raised under her.She couldn't give birth by herself, and she wanted to fulfill her queen mother dream.

"Father agreed." Qi Zhan said.

agreed?
That being said, the emperor couldn't stand his aunt anymore.

Qi Zhan has been tolerating Concubine Liang's petty actions for the sake of his face, but the emperor also agreed, which means that he intends to help him remove obstacles before passing on the throne to Qi Zhan at the end of this year. Finished.Liang Mingzhi couldn't help sighing when he thought that his grandmother had become completely silent because of the incident with his eldest aunt.

However, if Concubine Liang Gui wanted to embark on this path of courting death, he had no choice.He couldn't take the entire Liang family, but went crazy with Concubine Liang.

"Then I will thank her more on behalf of my father." Liang Mingzhi said lightly.

"You're really bad boy!" Qi Zhan couldn't help laughing at the thought of Concubine Liang Guifei's hard work giving up her left and right arms, but getting nothing in the end.

Liang Mingzhi said: "It's just that I don't disappoint her good intentions. People are at most a decoration with me, but with my father, they can make the best use of everything and can satisfy all three aspects. This is a good thing."

"A display?" Qi Zhan repeated this sentence. Just as he was about to speak, someone knocked lightly on the door, "Prince, concubine He sent someone to bring rock sugar pear water. Do you want some?"

As soon as the words fell, Qi Zhan coughed twice in response to the situation, and then said: "Bring it in."

Liang Mingzhi watched indifferently, the door was pushed open, and a woman in palace attire walked in with low eyebrows.Put the rock sugar pear water in a small teacup and put it on the table, and she lifted the lid, "Prince, the side concubine ordered that it would be better to drink it while it is hot."

The rock sugar pear water was still steaming, and Liang Mingzhi watched Qi Zhan nod slightly, with a satisfied smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Then Caiming will leave first." The palace maid said, stepped back a few steps, then turned around and left, and gently closed the door behind her.

Qi Zhan picked up rock sugar pear water, the temperature was just right, and after drinking it all in one gulp, he felt comfortable not only in his throat, but also in his whole body.

Liang Mingzhi said with a smile: "The crown prince is so lucky, Concubine He is so considerate."

Qi Zhan was slightly stunned, then smiled and said: "It's not a good fortune, but her boiled rock sugar pear water is really good. Chunri also had a cough that time, and it was useless to ask the imperial doctor to boil the medicine, but her sugar pear water, but I drank it. In two days, it turned out to be fine."

There was imperceptible surprise on Liang Mingzhi's face, "So, concubine He cooked this candied pear water by herself?"

Qi Zhan nodded, as if he was recalling something, with a sneer on his face for a while, and a hint of distress in a gentle way for a while, "Yes, I cooked it myself."

Liang Mingzhi smiled and stopped talking.

Monarchs and ministers, monarchs and ministers first, and then there are ministers. He is just a minister, and he is not suitable for asking too much. Of course, it is not suitable for too much control.

But judging from this matter, she also noticed that Concubine He was indeed very different from Princess Cheng Min.One personally cooked rock sugar pear water for the prince, and kept an eye on the prince's body, while the other only knew how to chat with the little sister.

Princess Cheng Min's disposition remained the same in two lifetimes, but Qi Zhan has changed, not to mention, in this life, there is an extra Concubine He.If he remembers correctly, the Concubine He from the previous life seemed to have disappeared at a young age.Because at that time, the only daughter of He Yushi's family in the capital was He Wan, who was famous in the capital, and there was no He Lian.

The court lady Caiming returned to the palace, and immediately went to see He Lian, "Side concubine, the servant girl of Bingtanglishui has already been sent to the prince, but..."

"But what's wrong?"

He Lian was still practicing handwriting, and Wen Yan's hand movements did not stop. If she hadn't heard her voice, Caiming would have almost thought that the side concubine hadn't heard her words at all.

"However, on the way back, I met Mei Yin, the eldest maid in front of the princess. She asked the servant what she was doing, and the servant told the truth. She, she slapped the servant..." Caiming said, his voice choked up. , "It turns out that she was also there to deliver rock sugar pear water."

He Lian turned her head to the side and saw that there was indeed a slap mark on Caiming's face.With the clear palm print, He Lian could almost guess how painful it would be.She asked: "Apart from answering what she said, did you do anything else? Did you sting her with words, or was your attitude not respectful enough?"

Caiming's heart shuddered, and then he was a little unconvinced.

Meiyin is the first lady in front of the crown princess, and she is also the first lady in front of the side concubine, as long as the two of them don't speak ill of each other, why should I treat her with respect?

He Lian sighed, "Didn't I tell you not to collide with the Crown Princess's people? Avoid when things happen, let go when things are good, and endure when things are bad. You forgot what I said?"

"Side concubine!" Caiming shouted: "You are a side concubine, not the prince's concubine. You are a royal jade butterfly. Unless you die in this life, you will never leave the prince's mansion and the palace at all. All your life, you are destined to be on the opposite side of the princess, can you bear it for a while, can you bear it for the rest of your life?"

Caiming was not a maid brought out by the He family, but the one that Qi Zhan called for her when He Lian entered the East Palace.Although it didn't take long, why did He Lian have feelings for her?

Relying on this feeling, Caiming said such rebellious words, but they could be regarded as loyal words.But He Lian couldn't help but her eyes turned slightly red.

"Come on!" she yelled.

Caiming looked at her with a puzzled expression, and the two maids who opened the door were also a little confused, and they asked, "Side concubine, what are your orders?"

He Lian said: "Caiming doesn't distinguish between superiority and inferiority, how dare she speak wild words to me. You take her to the chief manager in front of the crown prince, and tell her what I said, and leave Caiming's hair in the laundry room. In addition, Ask someone to come over and wait for me to change clothes, and I will go to the Crown Princess to admit my mistake."

The two maids were at a loss, Caiming was even more stunned, "Side concubine, you, how could you..."

"If you talk too much, I'll ask someone to pull you down without saying anything!" He Lian interrupted her, got up and went into the inner room.

If you just pull it down without saying anything, then what you are waiting for is not as simple as changing an errand, it is very likely that you will lose your life.

Caiming's face turned green and pale, and he was dragged down obediently by the two maids.

The other two maids outside the door got their words and hurried in to wait for He Lian to change her clothes.He Lian looks average, so she doesn't care about dressing up. There are a lot of good clothes and materials, but she only has a few when she goes out.Even the queen saw it and disliked her a little.If it was in the past, these two maids would definitely persuade her to change into a good-looking one, at least if she went to the Crown Princess's place, it is possible to meet the Crown Prince.

But today, the two maids agreed tacitly and didn't say anything.Let her just insert a golden hairpin, wear a dark green palace dress, and even walk out without any makeup on her face.

Caiming was escorted forward by two people, just in time to meet Mei Yin again.Meiyin saw what she was saying in front of her a quarter of an hour ago. The prince only likes to drink the rock sugar pear water made by Concubine He, but Caiming who doesn't know how to drink the sugar pear water sent by the princess. Being dragged in embarrassment, he suddenly became suspicious.

"What's going on here?" She stopped the way and asked the two maids who were pulling Caiming.

When Caiming and Meiyin had a conflict, they ended up like this. The side concubine pushed her out even if she didn't even try to protect her.Facing Mei Yin's question, these two maids dared not answer, and one maid told the situation like pouring beans in a bamboo tube.

Mei Yin's face remained unchanged, but she secretly hated her.

What a side concubine He, she had a conflict with Caiming, so she slapped her in a hurry.This side concubine He is really good, without further ado, without asking about the situation, she will directly bring Caiming to find the prince.If the crown prince knew that Caiming had been beaten by him and would be demoted to wash the house, what would he think of himself as a court lady?
Domineering in the East Palace just because she is the eldest maid next to the princess?
She glanced at Caiming who was already wilted, and gritted her teeth, "Take him to the Crown Princess."

Caiming's eyes lit up when he heard this, is it possible to save?
Le Chengmin was about to send Yijia away when the maid outside came to congratulate the side concubine on her arrival.Yijia had heard the name of Concubine He for a long time, but had never seen her once, so she was not in a hurry to leave, and sat at Le Chengmin's head, intending to meet Concubine He.

With the permission from inside, He Lian asked her maid to guard the door, and walked in alone.

"I have met the Crown Princess myself." He Lian saluted and said.

Yijia got up and met He Lian.

Le Chengmin then said indifferently: "Excuse me, what's the matter with Concubine He coming here?" Since He Lian paid her respects last time, until now, she has never come here on her own initiative.Le Chengmin is also very curious now, why He Lian came here.

He Lian said: "This concubine is here to make amends. Cai Ming, who is in front of the concubine, has offended Mei Yin who is next to you, the crown princess, and I have already punished her to go to the washing room, but it is her fault after all. So the concubine must also report to you, and ask the Crown Princess to punish the concubine for her ineffective discipline."

He Lian's attitude was respectful, and she didn't call out Le Chengmin's sister one by one. Although she only said a few words, Yijia's original hostility towards her has gone away a lot.But thinking of this, she was suddenly shocked again. If He Lian was pretending, it would indeed be unfathomable.

Thinking that her speech is boring, her appearance is not good, and her natal father is just a censor, it is reasonable to say that her sister He Wan is a person with good looks and talent, so it is out of line to be Qi Zhan's side concubine, let alone her.

But it was her who got Qi Zhan's attention.

Just as Le Chengmin was about to speak, Mei Yin came in from the outside with Caiming.Mei Yin went over to Le Chengmin's ear, and explained the matter clearly in a few steps next to Le Chengmin's ear.When he left Le Chengmin, he looked at He Lian with dissatisfaction in his eyes.

But for all of this, He Lian didn't feel anything at all, just stood quietly with her head bowed.It seemed that she came here this time just to accept punishment.

Le Chengmin didn't get angry either, she was silent for a moment, and said: "Since you made a mistake, you should be punished, but it would be too much of a fuss to punish you for such a small mistake. Concubine He can bear it, but I can't bear it to Mei Yin." , but if I don’t do it, I won’t be accused of being unfair.”

"Everything is up to the Crown Princess." He Lian said in a flat voice.

Le Chengmin suddenly became angry.

This He side concubine, I have trouble sleeping and eating because of her here, and she is as peaceful as now, treating me like watching a play, right?But no, it wasn't Concubine He who caused all this, but Qi Zhan!

Her anger came and went quickly, thinking of Qi Zhan, the anger immediately shifted direction.

"Since that's the case, let Caiming and Meiyin be fined for three months each." She said, "Okay, let's go with your people. I still have guests here."

"Yes, thank you, Princess Princess, for your kindness." He Lian said, glanced at Caiming, turned and walked out the door.

Cai got slapped by Mei Yin for no reason, but at this moment, not only did she not dare to seek justice, but after thanking Le Chengmin, she also thanked Mei Yin with gratitude.

Le Chengmin retreated and said to Yijia: "Did you see it? This woman seems to have no desires. But I am troubled and entangled every day because of her. I know I asked for it, but I can not hold it in."

Because of love, so care.

Yijia patted her on the shoulder and said, "You have to tie the bell to untie it. If you want to solve this matter thoroughly, you have to ask the prince for clarification." She paused, and said, "However, I still feel that this There is something wrong with Concubine He."

Le Chengmin didn't know how much he heard, so he nodded indiscriminately, and sent Yijia out, "Okay, let's leave her alone, I chatted with you a lot today, and I'm in a much better mood."

Yijia talked about this matter with Liang Mingzhi on the carriage back. Although Liang Mingzhi didn't want to care about it, it was rare for Yijia to have such a good friend in two lifetimes, and she needed to ask him what he meant, so he had no choice but to listen.

"Tell me, what exactly does the prince mean? Does he really like Concubine He?" After speaking, Yijia leaned into Liang Mingzhi's arms and asked for his opinion.

Liang Mingzhi really couldn't see it.

In the past two years, he could occasionally guess Qi Zhan's thoughts. In the past two years, he has become more mature, and now, in front of Qi Zhan, he can't be too observant to guess what he means.

"Whether it's a true liking or a fake liking, Concubine He is the concubine who has fallen in love with the Royal Jade Butterfly, and the crown prince treats her well." Liang Mingzhi said: "The concubine He has to accept the matter of Concubine He, no matter what. You have to accept it. Yijia, we can't do anything."

"I know..." Yijia sighed.

But she just felt that Le Chengmin owed an explanation.

"I think side concubine He is a bit strange," she said.

Liang Mingzhi twirled her hair unconsciously, and asked casually, "What's so strange?"

Yijia told about the matter of He Lian going to plead guilty today, and then said: "I haven't seen the prince getting along with her, and I don't know how the prince treats her. But she, if she is not too calm, If she is too scheming, then she may not care about the prince."

Liang Mingzhi thought for a moment after hearing this, and asked Yijia, "What do you want to do?"

Yijia said: "I want to mention it to the prince, even if he really likes Concubine He, but Concubine He is a concubine after all, how can she be the same as the concubine at all times, it's not polite."

This is indeed impolite, but it is not suitable for Yijia to say.

"You don't care about this matter. If the princess doesn't mention it, others will be presumptuous. As for what you said is not polite, I have the responsibility to remind the prince. You just need to spend more time with the princess and talk." Liang Mingzhi's face was serious, he let go of Yijia's hair, brought her upright and looked at him, and said, "Although you are good friends with the Crown Princess, she is no longer the original Princess Chengmin. We can't get involved."

A companion is like a tiger, Yijia suddenly thought of this sentence, and she nodded nervously.

Liang Mingzhi originally wanted to talk about Concubine Liang, but seeing that she seemed a little frightened, he didn't say any more.Patted her, and held her in his arms again, "Don't be afraid, I'm still in everything, don't worry."

Yijia wanted Liang Mingzhi to stop talking to Qi Zhan about the concubine He's offer, but thinking of Le Chengmin...she grabbed Liang Mingzhi's sleeve tightly and asked, "Go talk to the prince, will you?" Will it affect you? If so, then, then I will go and persuade the Crown Princess to mention it herself!"

Liang Mingzhi patted her hand reassuringly, and said: "It's okay, I was originally responsible for reminding the prince about this matter. Maybe the prince didn't know, but someone misunderstood the prince's meaning and did it on purpose. .”

Hearing what he said, Yijia was relieved.

Here in the East Palace, Qi Zhan arrived not long after He Lian brought her back.Caiming was kneeling outside the door, and he didn't need to move when he saw Qi Zhan, and kowtowed in greeting.

Qi Zhan glanced at the wound on her face, and said, "Okay, stop kneeling, go down."

He Lian from the room also greeted her, "His Royal Highness."

"Why didn't you tell me what happened?" Qi Zhan glanced at her calm expression, and his tone was slightly displeased.

He Lian said: "I have already pleaded guilty with the Crown Princess, and the Crown Princess said that I will not blame me. Do I need to plead guilty with you again?"

Qi Zhan's complexion changed slightly, and he sighed: "You clearly know that I don't mean that. The Crown Princess..."

"You don't need to talk about it, the prince. The princess really didn't target me on purpose." He Lian brows impatiently, and sat on the stool without looking at Qi Zhan, "You always say that the princess is arrogant. , to act recklessly, but I only saw a forbearing and magnanimous concubine. Even what happened today, it was Caiming who provoked and made trouble first, and Mei Yin, who was in front of the concubine, taught her a lesson. Prince, I know you want to protect the Crown Princess, but there is no need to use me as a target again and again, right? If the Crown Princess really takes a sword at me, Crown Prince, can you protect me?"

"The queen mother hopes that I can have an heir soon." Qi Zhan also sat down and said flatly.

He Lian looked at him and smiled, "So what? The prince is going to touch me?"

Qi Zhan froze, his face was a little embarrassed.

Before he could utter any more excuses, He Lian said: "Prince, we agreed on a five-year term, and you will let me go after five years, but you are very knowledgeable and smart, you shouldn't fool me a little." If I lose my life because of your various actions within five years, I will lose money and die in this business."

"Don't worry, I will protect you naturally." Qi Zhan said.

"Protection?" He Lian sneered, and the words she said were equally cold and ruthless, "What protection are you talking about? You call me a maid who is stupid enough to ask me to compete with the princess for favor. Is this protection? Are you harming me? almost!"

At this moment, Concubine He is not as calm and calm in front of the servants, nor as respectful and obedient in front of the Crown Princess.There is only a pale face, red eyes, and a body that is constantly shaking because of anger.

Qi Zhan has never been scolded by someone pointing his nose like this in his life.He suddenly stood up, looked at He Lian and said coldly: "Don't worry, I'll replace you right now. Also, don't forget that we were mutually beneficial and helpful back then. Although I agreed to your request, that's right. But back then I also saved you from the He family. When you cross the river and tear down the bridge, you can’t just cross half of the river, and you come and tear down the bridge!"

He Lian didn't speak, and watched Qi Zhan walk out angrily.As soon as the door was closed, she slumped down on the table.The tears that had been held back all this time fell down quickly.

Qi Zhan went to see Le Chengmin alone.

However, Le Chengmin had already got the news that Qi Zhan was going to He Lian's side, he had already unlocked the key to the palace gate, extinguished the palace lantern, and made preparations for him to rest at He Lian's side for the night.

Qi Zhan looked at the closed door and kicked it hard.

The waitress in the room listened to the movement and came over to open the door in a hurry. Before she opened the door, she was so frightened that she fell to her knees before she could ask any questions.

Qi Zhan kicked a person away, and strode in.

Le Chengmin lay on the bed and did not fall asleep, but when he heard the sound of angry footsteps, he immediately closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep.Qi Zhan entered the room and saw Le Chengmin sleeping soundly, but felt an unknown fire rising directly.Because of her, I first got hurt on the back of my hand by her, and then I was sneered at by He Lian... But she was lucky, she didn't mind at all, and just fell asleep with such a big heart!
