Don't help me, I can sit up by myself

Zhao promised to have a low position and could not see the emperor for a year and a half.She also wanted to have it, so she said cautiously: "Chang Du, I have a silver hairpin here. Can I trade it with you for a puppet?"

Bao Guiren on the side shook his handkerchief: "How can a silver hairpin be exchanged for a puppet? I heard that Du Changzai worked all night to make such a puppet. How precious it is. Du Changzai, I will use a piece of rabbit skin to follow you." Instead, you can make one for me too."

"I'll trade the fox skin for you."

"I'll trade jade beads for you."

The concubines became interested and even took the jade bracelet off their wrist and put it on Du Jiyan's wrist, demanding that it be replaced.

Meng Yuzhu still didn't believe it when Tian Lingyue said that Du Jiyan was doing carpentry work in the Palace of Supreme Harmony, but now that exquisite puppet seduced the ladies and made them feel itchy.

Is this a spot in the harem?No need for the fifteen-day pre-sale period.

It seems that this Du Jiyan is very clever. In order to seduce the emperor, he even learned carpentry.

"What a rough thing, the imperial concubine can't see it." Cashew whispered to Meng Yuzhu: "That puppet is just a dead thing."

"Stupid thing, that's the Emperor."

Cashew nut, shut up now.

"Do you want to order one?"

Meng Yuzhu gritted her molar teeth and said, "Only those who are unfavored can order it. I have an emperor, so why would you want that thing?"

What's annoying is that originally Du Jiyan was just a minor figure in Yongfu Palace, but it was she, Meng Yuzhu, who took the lead in greeting guests at Xingren Palace. Everyone talked around her, and even the queen didn't pay attention to her.

Now her position has been robbed by little Du Changzai?Look at those concubines who are fishing in troubled waters. Now they are all surrounding Du Jiyan to place orders.

The queen coughed twice and said, "Being a puppet is also very tiring."

"I beg the queen, I have been unfavored for a long time, and I don't want the emperor's mercy. I just hope I can get a puppet." Zhao promised and knelt down directly.

The concubines also knelt down one after another.

Each told his own difficulties.

A concubine like Zhao promised to be gathering dust in the harem. Since entering the palace, she has not even been able to get a password with the emperor. The one with the title of emperor is closest to the emperor. The only one she can contact is the queen. .

People like Bao Guiren were so lonely that they even counted the bricks in the palace.

And Mei Guiren, the last time she saw the emperor was when she entered the palace for the draft.Nowadays, the show girl has been selected for several generations. She can't even remember which generation of show girl she was. As time goes by, she will become an old leek in the palace.

You don’t know if you don’t talk about it, but when you talk about it, everyone has a history of sadness.

In the final analysis, there are too many monks and too little gruel for the emperor.

The screen flashed, it was Master Luban.

Master Lu Ban prepared his bow like a bow, and Du Jiyan thought he had returned to his own world.

This time, the image of Master Luban was a bit thin, not as bright as when I first saw him.

Probably there is a time limit for summoning auxiliary heroes, and you cannot summon them once and use them forever.

As time goes by, the summoned heroes will become weaker and weaker, and will gradually disappear from sight.

Du Jiyan seized this rare opportunity: "Master, can you teach me carpentry skills?"

"Why?"

"The women in the palace are pitiful. One puppet is not enough. I want to make a few more." Du Jiyan thought to himself, if Master Lu Ban cannot be summoned in the future, what will happen if the emperor places another order?What should ladies do if they place another order?Doesn’t it have to be over?As the saying goes, it is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish. If a person does not think about the future, he will worry about the immediate future. It is safest to learn it. The main thing is to discover that this technology can make money very quickly.

"The most difficult thing in this world is to be willing to study. I have many disciples in Lu Ban, all of whom are outstanding talents. As long as you are willing to learn, there will be nothing difficult. I will teach you."

Du Jiyan came to his senses and quickly took the order. He propped up the table in Jingren Palace and started keeping accounts with pen, ink, paper and inkstone:
Zhao promised a silver hairpin.

A piece of noble rabbit skin.

Mei Guiren has a piece of fox skin.

Du Jiyan counted them, and everyone placed their orders except Meng Yuzhu and Tian Lingyue.

24 in total.

24 "Emperors" need to be made.

Du Jiyan asked Papaya and Ertiao to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get the wood, and then started working on it in Jingren Palace.

I rolled up my sleeves and clothes, put the wood on the bench and started shaving.

Shaping, engraving, polishing.
The concubines watched attentively. In the past, they could only watch plays or gossip in the palace. Who would have thought that in their lifetime they would see concubines show off their talents.

In the past, I had always heard that Du Changzai was serving in the bedchamber, and the inconspicuous empresses in the East and West Sixth Palace were a bit jealous. They thought about how Du Changzai was so favored by the emperor and obtained the favor through unknown means. Now I finally understand. , Du Changzai relied on his excellent carpentry skills.

There is really no comparison, no jealousy, only admiration.After all, how many daughters of officials can handle this job?

There was no shortage of beauties in the palace. Of course, there was no shortage of talented people, such as those who could dance, write poems, and play the piano. But among the people who could do carpentry, starting from the time of the previous emperor, there was only Du Jiyan.

This is really a different approach.

All the concubines began to regret it.

"When my family asked my grandma to teach me my talents, my mother said it was a virtue for a woman not to have talents, so I just learned a few words casually."

"I have read "Women's Rules" and "Women's Training", and I know a few words, but I have been spoiled since I was a child. I have never done any menial work. If I had known, I would also learn to repair houses, take care of gardens, chop wood, and plant crops. It's a rough job, maybe the emperor likes it, you see if Du Chang is good at carpentry, the emperor always calls her."

While talking, Du Jiyan made a few more puppets.After all, Lu Ban teaches him personally, and there are two papayas waiting for him to help him, so the efficiency is very high.

"Look at his facial features, he really looks like the emperor, even his sideburns."

"I have to put it under the quilt when I get back. It will keep it warm every day from now on."

The ladies were overjoyed.

The news in Jingren Palace quickly spread to Taihe Palace.

You must know that except for the concubines who go to Jingren Palace to pay their respects, at other times, Jingren Palace is so free that mushrooms can grow.

It was rare that the atmosphere in Jingren Palace was even more lively than when the emperor met the civil and military officials in the court in the morning.

outrageous.

The emperor stood in the corridor with his hands tied, looking in the direction of Jingren Palace and asked Gao Rang: "Jingren Palace is in an uproar. What big plan is the queen planning?"

"Back to the Emperor, the Queen has no big plans. Du Chang is doing carpentry work in Jingren Palace."

what?
It's Du Jiyan again.

Is it possible that Du Jiyan was too relaxed about sleeping in bed and had nowhere to hold back his strength? He had just repaired Yu Ru Gong with his front foot, but he went to Jingren Palace to take a job with his back foot?

Have you ever enjoyed doing carpentry work in Tai Chi Palace?

Poor crazy?
The emperor was puzzled: "What has she done?"

Gao Rang gritted his teeth and did not dare to say anything.

"Could it be that she can do it to me? Oh, what are you afraid of? Speak boldly."

"Du Changzai has become the emperor."

emperor
Gao Rang was half describing and half embellishing: "Just looking at Du Changzai's craftsmanship of Xiu Yuru Gong, you can tell that she has some skills. She makes the emperor. The puppets she makes really look like the emperor. The ladies from the East and West Six Palaces, I ordered 24."

There are currently 27 empresses in the harem.

24 people came to Du Jiyan to place orders.

That is, there are still three ladies who have not placed orders.

The emperor was secretly pleased that he was so popular, and asked again: "Is there anyone who doesn't like me? Who is it?" "One is Du Changzai."

"Oh." The emperor knew that Du Changzai liked the queen more than he liked the emperor.

"Who else doesn't want it?"

"Also, I'm afraid it's the imperial concubine. After all, the imperial concubine is the only one to be favored~" Gao Rang deliberately spoke in a long tone, pinching his orchid fingers.

The emperor slapped him: "Speak carefully."

"The imperial concubine is uniquely favored and can often see the emperor. Of course, she does not need to order any puppets. The other person who has not ordered is Tian Yaxin. Tian Yaxin's mother just died of illness. She stayed behind closed doors. The empress spared her the most recent greetings. , so maybe she doesn’t know about it.”

The emperor pinched his waist and raised his head, a little proud: "More than 20 people have made reservations."

"Yes, Your Majesty, you are so popular."

"It turns out there are so many people in my harem."

Although the size of the emperor's harem has been reduced a lot compared to that of the late emperor, but compared to ordinary people who have one husband and one wife or one wife and two concubines, the emperor's harem is still far ahead.

Gao Rang's admiration for the emperor was like a torrential river throughout his life, and now his admiration for Du Jiyan is also: "Your Majesty, Du Chang is making these puppets, all of them look like the emperor, and the ladies are so happy that they can't open their mouths from ear to ear."

"is it?"

"It should be that Du Changzai pays close attention to the emperor. Du Changzai sees every move of the emperor. She cares about you, so the puppets she made are so similar."

"What you said makes sense." The emperor sat up happily and said, "Do you also think Du Changzai cares about me?"

"Yes. The puppet slave also saw it. The carving is really beautiful."

The emperor's heart was bubbling with joy, but he said: "I see that Du Changzai is undoubtedly a money addict. She cultivated the bow to earn that ingot of gold and made puppets. She probably wanted to make a fortune in the harem. I also He gave Eucommia an annual salary, why is it that the daughter he taught is so obsessed with money?"

Du Jiyan was very tired, but fortunately he had gained something.

See what has been exchanged.

She put the bundle on the bed and turned on the light.

It’s another rare time to lick the bag.But this is not like in the game, where all virtual backpacks are exchanged for real gold and silver goodies in the Chen Kingdom Palace.

There are two jade bracelets in the bag, a gold hairpin, a silver inlaid with red treasure, a jade pendant, an ingot of gold, three ingots of silver, a fox skin, a rabbit skin, an ermine skin, and two. Jade beads.
The system also gives rewards.

"The host gains favor from everyone and gets +15 points."

Clap la la.
This job can be done.

The beauties of Yongfu Palace have low welfare and little things from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so they have been suffering for many years.

Now he is fine. He has been promoted to Du Changzai. With his excellent skills, he has earned gold and silver, some hairpin jewelry, and a few taels of silver every month. After all, it is much better than before.

All in all, he is now richer than his father who gets a pension.

Du Jiyan not only became a lot richer, but also improved the emperor's reputation.

You must know that since ancient times, there have been many resentments against women in the harem.

After all, we are in good years, but we often don’t see the emperor. Everyone is like a widow, can’t they have any resentment?
"The ancient palace is lonely, the palace flowers are lonely and red. The white-headed palace maid is here, sitting around and talking about Xuanzong." It probably expresses such an atmosphere.

One emperor is never enough.

Du Jiyan also thought that if each woman in the harem was given a mobile phone and connected to wifi, everyone would not have to fight for the emperor. By then, the emperor would be rejected by whomever he went to. After all, there was food in the palace. There are drinks and benefits, and then I check my mobile phone and see some little brothers twisting their waists and swaying their hips. Who has time to serve the emperor?

After all, this doesn't work.

But making small dolls for the concubines, so that they can have emotional sustenance, the effect is the same.

In the past, they would sit and wait in the palace as soon as it got dark.

For example, Zhao promised to look forward to it every time she ate. There was always a plate of bucket chicken on the dining table because she spent money to find out that the emperor liked to eat crispy bucket chicken.

But the wait was in vain every time. After waiting for a long time and not seeing the emperor, I felt a little disappointed.

For example, Bao Guiren counted the palace tiles in his spare time, and waited for the emperor at the gate of the palace as soon as it got dark. After waiting and waiting, the lights in the octagonal palace were turned off, and the emperor's Feng Luan Chun En carriage did not come to pick him up.

It's different now.

Everyone has an "Emperor".

When Zhao promised to eat, he put the puppet on the table, took a bite and looked at the puppet. Sure enough, he ate two more bowls of rice, and it was obvious to the naked eye that Zhao promised to gain weight.

Bao Guiren finished washing early, took off his hairpin and hugged the puppet before getting into bed. His dreams at night were much more peaceful, he could look at the puppet when he had time, and his habit of counting palace bricks was also changed.

Changle Palace.

Meng Yuzhu leaned against the soft pillow and leaned under the west window, having her feet kneaded by cashew nuts.

There is snow outside the curtain.

The charcoal fire was raging in the hall. She was wearing a thin gauze dress, with half of her snow-white bellyband trimmed with silver exposed. She closed her eyes and said nothing.

There was a strong fragrance of pear in the room, and the two maids of honor were rubbing her shoulders, one on the left and the other on the right.

Even so, the fire in my heart could not be suppressed.

A quarter of an hour ago, the young eunuch came in and reported that the emperor had summoned the queen to sleep with him that night.

It's the [-]th tonight, and according to custom, the queen should be sleeping with her.

But having said that, for many fifteen years, the Queen always stayed alone in her empty room.

With Meng Yuzhu around, the Queen and the Queen would go and stay wherever they liked.

The world has changed?

The emperor actually thought of summoning the queen to bed?

I thought that the queen was declining, but now that the queen is dying, how come she can't?

The eunuch newspaper said that it was said that the concubines in the harem got the puppets that Du Chang was making, and they were all happy. Everyone was living in harmony, and the harem was peaceful. The emperor was so happy that he asked the queen to go to bed and report her work as a reward.

It's still Du Jiyan.

That Du Jiyan came out specifically to defeat himself.Meng Yuzhu had a headache.

I still remember that the emperor favored her at that time. She dressed up carefully, with her hair in a high bun, her eyebrows swept, her mouth like a cherry, her eyes full of eyes, her shirt was so light that it almost slipped off her shoulders. Go to Taihe Palace with high spirits.

At that time, the queen might still be sitting in Jingren Palace eating fruits.

Today, the queen is still sitting leisurely in Jingren Palace eating fruit, and the emperor actually invited her to sleep with him.

Meng Yuzhu turned over on the soft couch, and the steaming charcoal fire made her ears sweat.

There was a strong wind and snow outside the curtain, and Meng Yuzhu asked someone to call Tian Lingyue.

As soon as Tian Lingyue entered the palace, she saw Meng Yuzhu's expression was wrong. He stood at the door and greeted her, and when he entered the palace, he gave her a slap on the back.

Meng Yuzhu didn't even raise her head: "I heard that your mother is dead."

Tian Lingyue's heart dropped.

"I've been sleeping in the side hall for so long, and I've made enough gestures. The emperor won't come anyway, so you should save your worries. Your eyes will be broken from crying. How will you sleep with him in the future?"

Tian Lingyue's heart dropped again.

"You find a way to get sick, and I will invite the emperor tomorrow to come to Changle Palace to accompany you."
