A Lady’s Tranquility

Chapter 48: Zheng Bao

Views:

From the moment she was elected to the palace, the road went wrong: she was elected to the palace without even submitting her name, which undoubtedly made people suspect that there was someone behind her. , She thought she could be defeated in the selection process, but she couldn't bear too many people who wanted her to enter the palace. Instead, it made people feel that she was unworthy of her virtue and became a thorn in people's eyes; Prejudice, it also eliminates the possibility of her getting along with others.

It's really nothing to tear your face with Chen Shuyi. .

It's just pulling the undercurrent under the table to the table.

After returning to his room and thinking for a while, Jiang Xuening was clearly aware of the predicament he was facing: he still had to stay in the palace for the first half of the year, although Princess Leyang liked her, but the palace is so big, who knows the future What will happen

You must know that under this heavy palace wall, wanting to harm someone is the easiest thing.

Conflict has occurred.

Although she has no intention of harming others, how can she know if others are harming her heart

In this life, although she did not intend to get involved in the battles of the palace, she just waited for half a year to pack her bags and fly away. But there are also prerequisites for flying far away, that is: "At least I have to live by then..."

Closing the door, he threw himself on the couch and lay down. He calmly watched the light and shadow projected from the window on the top of the embroidered tent. Jiang Xuening felt that he had to do something.

First of all, does she have any advantages over those who don't like her very much

Family background

She can only be considered average, not above or below.

Noble's favorite

Of course she has Shen Zhiyi, but Shen Zhiyi is not the only one who can talk in the palace.

Smart

She knows how to observe words and expressions, and her actions are much more appropriate than in the previous life, but compared with people with great wisdom, she can only be regarded as quick-witted and clever, not too much more than others.

All, her real, greatest strength is really only one: rebirth, prophet.

She knows a lot of things that others don't know, a lot of things that haven't happened yet, and even a lot of people she hasn't seen yet.

This also means that she has more opportunities than others.

To seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, to recognize people, to seize opportunities!

So, judging from what she knew in her previous life, what is going on in the palace today, and who can be used for her

Jiang Xuening counted with his fingers: "The future Tanhua Lang Weiliang should still be studying in Yangzhou now; Xiao Dingfei, the fake young master of Dengzizi, still doesn't know where he is planning to appear; Sun Shanggong is a credible one. A good person, but where was she at this time in the last life?"

Tuck Court

Or in the womb of some unloved concubine

After doing the calculations, she was a little dazed, and for a while, she couldn't think of anyone who could use it for her during this period. Human memory is inherently chaotic, and she may not remember all the details of her previous life when she is reborn. She always felt that she had missed something important, and in the end, she had no clue, and she felt dizzy.

It was the afternoon, Jiang Xuening simply closed his eyes and fell asleep.

When she arrived, the palace servants who were waiting outside gently knocked on the door and called her: "Miss Jiang, it's time to go to the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager's palace to greet her."

She suddenly woke up from her sleep and sat up.

The previous dynasty was the emperor.

The harem is naturally the queen.

According to the rules, the companions should go to the empress dowager and queen on the first day they enter the palace, but the last time they entered the palace, things were too tight and no one forced them; I still have to go to Fengchen Hall, so the matter of asking for peace was postponed until this afternoon.

After Jiang Xuening cleaned up in her room, other people came out one after another in the hall. It was just because of the two rude words she and Chen Shuyi said earlier, everyone looked at her somewhat strangely, and no one left. Come up and talk to her.

Only Fang Miao winked at her when no one saw her.

You Yue pulled Yao Xi to talk to others, and did not give others a chance to talk to Jiang Xuening, obviously trying to squeeze her out. Chen Shuyi came out after dressing her up, and she even crossed her eyebrows coldly. Although she didn't speak, her tense posture was very obvious.

Even the palace servants who came to invite them to ask for peace felt that the atmosphere was not right, so they didn't dare to look up at them, and said softly: "The Empress Dowager has caught the cold for the past two days. It’s good to go directly to the Cining Palace to ask for safety, and it just saves your companions two trips, please come with the slaves.”

Yangzhizhai is located closer to the outer court, but the Cining Palace is deep in the inner palace. Walking over it almost has to pass through most of the harem. Behind the high palace walls are the east and west six palaces.

The Kunning Palace is behind the Qianqing Palace and is also on the central axis of the entire palace.

Among the eight companions, Fang Miao, You Yue, and Yao Rongrong had basically never entered the palace before, and they did not dare to walk around the last time they came, so they were still unfamiliar with the palace; It's rebirth. Although this huge palace is complicated, she can't go the wrong way with her eyes closed, so she's not curious.

However, You Yue lowered her voice and curiously asked Yao Xi, who happened to be walking beside her, "Sister Yao Xi, is that Kunning Palace in front?"

Yao Xi glanced in the direction she was pointing, and said, "Exactly, all the empresses of this dynasty lived in Kunning Palace. The present empress is from the Zheng family in Henan, and she was the original spouse of the saint when he was hiding in the residence. But on weekdays, we live in a secluded place. Before we went to the palace and asked her to be safe, we only asked us to go to the Empress Dowager's side more, saying that the Empress Dowager prefers to be more lively."

You Yue nodded: "So it is."

Jiang Xuening walked at the back, neither fast nor slow, but when she heard Yao Xi's words, she raised her eyebrows and sneered in her heart.

Love fun

The old witch wished that the whole palace would revolve around her.

The first emperor died too early. She has not yet had enough addiction to be a queen. She will move out of Kunning Palace and go to the clean and remote Cining Palace. How can she be reconciled

The old witch was born in the Xiao family. She was originally the younger sister of Duke Dingguo Xiao Yuan, that is, Xiao Shu's aunt. Her mother's family was strong, and she was always able to speak in the harem. Even if the first emperor died, she became the queen mother. He has never relaxed his control over the harem.

After the death of Shen Lang in the previous life, he was succeeded by his younger brother Shen Jie.

Jiang Xuening, as the princess of Linzi, was supposed to be conferred, but the old witch was agitated, saying: "Jiang's virtue is unmatched, her behavior is not good, and she does not have the demeanor of a mother's world. The emperor should leave the post vacant and make her the fourth concubine. go."

She almost died when she heard the news.

Fortunately, the former ministers are sensible.

Where in the world can there be a reason why the crown prince does not entitle his wife to be the queen after he ascends the throne? If you do this, won't future generations be ashamed? Nor does it conform to the rules of etiquette.

So they all wrote to remonstrance.

Moreover, she was Bailian in her last life. She has not made any mistakes, and she is so pitiful. The more she is bullied, the more protective she will be aroused. Shen Jie is a man anyway, so how can she be bullied like this

So in the end, let her be in the back seat.

However, when the queen made such a fuss, she and Empress Dowager Xiao had settled their grudges.

The royal family also has shortfalls in the patriarchal family.

Empress Dowager Xiao, a mother-in-law, turned her nose upside down and raised her eyes, and often used filial piety to oppress her, making her life unhappy.

It was not until later that Xiao Shu entered the palace and became a noble concubine, and the ceremony was even bigger than her. Jiang Xuening recalled: the old witch who dares to love is to support the younger generation of her mother's family and make her niece Xiao Shu the queen.

The harem then became an asura field.

Jiang Xuening's roots are basically weak. In order not to be taken down by these aunts and nephews, she can only refuse anyone who comes. She will give benefits to anyone who is willing to be loyal, and she has gathered a group of people by virtue of her ability to please others. Power, this is barely stable.

But employing people in such a disrespectful manner will naturally lead to mud and sand.

In the eyes of outsiders and Qingliu courtiers, she is undoubtedly a party for selfishness, like a cancer in the court, and she has even been accused of meddling in the harem.

Later, when Xie Wei, Yan Lin and other rebels were placed under house arrest in the palace, the memorials that the former ministers forced her to sacrifice for Shen Jie had already flown like snowflakes, so she ended up miserably and somewhat self-rewarding.

Therefore, it can be said that in the last life, Jiang Xuening hated the Empress Dowager Xiao far more than the hatred against Xiao Shu.

Now that I have come back from my rebirth, I still have to say goodbye to this old witch...

Jiang Xuening felt that her back molars were itching when she remembered it, and she had to clench it to restrain the urge to scold.

Yao Xi, who was walking in front, didn't know that someone was hiding deep hatred and hatred behind him, so he just pointed the words to Xiao Shu, and said with a smile: "I was also fortunate enough to go to the palace with my parents during the Spring Festival two years ago. The Empress Dowager, please pay her respects to the elderly. I am a little nervous to go to see her again this time. Sister Ashu will have to help me when the time comes. You are the Empress Dowager's most beloved niece. If there is something wrong with our etiquette for a while, If you make her old man unhappy, I will rely on you to speak to us."

The smile on Xiao Shu's lips became lighter, she glanced at Yao Xi, and said, "Now we are all reading companions to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess. The empress dowager also liked sister A Xi very much in the past, so there is nothing to worry about."

Jiang Xuening knew as soon as he heard it that Xiao Shu knew the truth of how big trees attract wind.

Although she is the niece of the Queen Mother, she is still a cousin to Shen Zhiyi, but she is not high-profile. She has never mentioned her relationship with the Queen Mother after entering the palace for so long.

But what...

How can you keep such a low profile

Sure enough, as soon as Yao Xi's words came out and Xiao Shu's words followed, the expressions on everyone's faces changed.

While speaking, he was getting closer and closer to Kunning Palace in a short while, but at the same time, several strange voices gradually entered the ears of everyone and became clear.

Pop, pop.

For a moment, clear and crisp.

Everyone else raised their eyes curiously to look at the source of the sound. Jiang Xuening, who had been in the palace for several years in the last life, heard it right away. It was the sound of a slap on the face, and it was extremely heavy and extremely loud. Reality!

Just after turning around a palace wall, Chen Shuyi who was walking ahead suddenly stopped.

Yao Rongrong, who saw the scene in front of her, even exclaimed in a low voice, "Ah."

When the cry came out, he realized that something was wrong, and quickly covered his lips.

Next to the palace gate of Kunning Palace, there was actually a eunuch kneeling. The hat on his head had fallen to the ground, and only a simple wooden hairpin was inserted. At this moment, he was raising his hand and slapped him hard Fan your face.

No energy left at all!

He even got his hands on himself.

The originally fair face was already full of finger marks, and even the corners of the mouth were torn, with a few strands of blood oozing out.

Have the companions who have just entered the palace seen such a scene

At this time, he didn't dare to move forward.

All the steps stopped.

Jiang Xuening's gaze passed over the people in front and landed on the little eunuch, only to see a silhouette. But at this moment, she felt a little familiar, something flashed in her mind like a flash of lightning, and finally a resolute and heroic face accompanied by blood splashes finally filled her whole mind.

Zheng Bao!

Later, Zheng Bao, the eunuch Zheng Bao, who served next to Shen Jie, was loyal to Shen Jie in his last life. Although he was a rootless person, his temperament was extremely strong. Pointing at the noses of the two of them and scolding them for chaotic rebellion, after laughing three times, he refused to join them, and directly drew his sword and killed himself, and died for Shen Jie!

At that time, some people ridiculed that the Manchu civil and military had no men, but a rootless eunuch was the most kind.

Jiang Xuening finally remembered what he had missed when he was trying to figure out who could use it for himself—

I missed Zheng Bao.

If she remembered correctly, Zheng Bao was apparently a little eunuch serving in Kunning Palace, but in fact, he had been favored by the current eunuch Wang Xinyi, and wanted to be accepted as an apprentice. The reason why he followed Shen Jie was because one year when he knelt outside Kunning Palace and was punished, he was seen by Shen Jie who passed by and begged for mercy for him, so that the queen would spare him. From then on, he was only loyal to Shen Jie, and he did not betray until the end of the mountain...

What if, instead of Shen Jie in this life, she saved Zheng Bao

But here comes the problem-

Shen Jie is the king of Linzi, and her words are useful; she is just a companion at the moment, how can she be saved
