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

Chapter 173 Marry the Queen Mother

When Shi Jing entered, the emperor was flipping through the book behind the case. So he took the teapot handed in by the little palace maid and poured the emperor a glass of water.

"Shi Jing's merit in pouring tea will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver."

史景

Even a favored concubine like Du Jiyan could only earn ten to one in the harem. How come she poured the emperor a cup of tea when she came here, and the emperor rewarded her with a hundred taels?

Is the emperor crazy?

What is the price for these one hundred taels?

Are there any other projects in the future?

Shi Jing was uneasy and consciously stayed away from the emperor. She sat obediently on the brocade stool without saying anything, for fear that the emperor would miss her.

The emperor put down his book, stretched, and then asked Gao Rang to bring some food, saying he was hungry.

The imperial dining room is already being prepared.

Before long, the dining table was full.

Single-cage golden milk puff pastry and shredded crab rolls are many of Shi Jing’s favorites.

"Eat quickly, it will get cold in a while." The emperor moved the small plate in front of Shi Jing.

Shi Jing was flattered.

When did she get this kind of treatment?

Putting a piece of golden pastry into his mouth, Shi Jing carefully observed the emperor.

She happened to meet the emperor looking at her intently. Not only looking at her face, but also at her chest, and further down, even Shi Jing's feet, the emperor looked at them with admiration for a long time.

Such a perverted look.

Shi Jing had an ominous premonition.

The golden pastry in her mouth no longer tasted good, so she quietly put her feet under her skirt.

"Isn't the golden milk cake delicious? Why do you look like you have no appetite?" The emperor tried to grab Shi Jing's hand, but it was in vain.

Shi Jing grabbed the handkerchief nervously: "I have eaten before I came here."

"Are you dissatisfied with the food in my palace? Or are you dissatisfied with me as a person?"

"I don't dare, my concubine."

"It's getting late." Du Jiyan looked at the bed, deliberately scaring her.

Sure enough, Shi Jing was so frightened that he jumped up from the brocade stool. Just as he was about to say goodbye, he remembered that she was here to sleep with him. He was afraid that he would not be able to escape, so he could only sit back down.

"Your Majesty, the Empress, Concubine Wei, and Concubine Du are all pregnant with children. The Chen Kingdom has a successor. Your Majesty, you can rest. Last night, the Emperor favored Zhao and Guiren Bao. The Emperor should have a good rest tonight. rest."

"What if I don't want to rest." Du Jiyan wanted to laugh.

The emperor was struck by lightning that day, and he was so powerful.

Shi Jing felt that he was almost finished.

Could it be that the emperor fell in love with her rare beauty?

Du Jiyan is still cooking in seclusion, who can save her?

"Shi Jing, I asked you to come here today because there is something I want to tell you."

"What's up?"

"I want to raise your status to a higher level."

kindness?

Shi Jing thought he heard wrongly.

She was used to living in the harem, and she didn't like serving the emperor. Why did the emperor want to promote her?

"Your Majesty, you don't have to raise my status because of my father's face. Now I have a noble status, which is quite high."

"No, no, no, given the relationship between you and me, I have to promote you to the rank of concubine no matter what."

concubine position.

Omg.

Wei Zhaoning and Du Jiyan are the concubines.

Shi Jing felt that she was not worthy of the concubine position anyway. If she could only get the concubine position by sleeping with her, wouldn't she have to commit herself to Xiaohunjun? No, no, Shi Jing quickly refused: "Your Majesty, I have no virtue and incompetence, and I have no heirs. As a noble person, I am already very embarrassed. Therefore, I am absolutely unworthy of the concubine position. Please take it back, Your Majesty." "

"Why can't you be a concubine? I think you are very suitable." Du Jiyan took Shi Jing's hand and caressed it.

The dog emperor wants to take advantage of her?

Shi Jing put his hands on his hips and took two steps back.

Du Jiyan called her forward again, turned off the voice changer, and whispered to her: "Shi Jing, don't you recognize me?"

It was Du Jiyan's voice.

What sound did the emperor make like Du Jiyan?

What a monster.

Shi Jing was stunned on the spot.

"When you entered the palace, you were always looking forward to the emperor's visit to you. You had a golden nine-layered hollow phoenix hairpin containing rubies. You also gave me a white jade engraved wishful hairpin. You told me that wearing a white jade hairpin Carve a hairpin with your wishes, and you will have all your wishes in the next life, and you won’t be sick anymore.”

Shi Jing was shocked.

"Your Majesty, have you taken away Du Jiyan's body?"

Du Jiyan smiled: "Sister, it's me."

Shi Jing was shocked and speechless.

After Du Jiyan told Shi Jing about her disguise as the emperor, Shi Jing was as happy as if he was celebrating the New Year.

"Sister, your life has been worthwhile. You can enter the palace, become a concubine, and reach the position of emperor. Sister, you have a bright future."

"It seems that I, Shi Jing, am also very discerning. Your thighs are right when I hug my sister. You see, my sister is so prosperous now."

"Sister, you are so kind to me. You gave me the title of concubine when you became emperor. I don't think Xiaohunjun would be so generous. Sister, you know how to care for people."

Shi Jing said a lot of words of gratitude, but he was also hungry. What was the meal served by the imperial kitchen? By the way, the single-cage golden custard and the finely chopped crab are rolled up to show off. If it's not enough, let the imperial kitchen prepare two side dishes and warm a pot of fruit wine.

I never thought that one day I would be able to do whatever I wanted in the Taihe Palace, eat whatever I wanted, and drink whatever I wanted.

"While I am still the emperor, I might as well make you a noble concubine." Du Jiyan secretly made up his mind.

Shi Jing almost choked: "The emperor went to Beiding, not dead. If you give me such a high position, the previous government will impeach me, and the Queen Mother cannot be willing. No, no, I don't want to."

Forget it.

Since you can't reward your sisters with a higher status, then reward them with some extraneous things to make your sisters happy.

I will reward you with ten gold hairpins, ten silver hairpins, ten sets of clothes for the four seasons, ten pieces of brocade, two handles of Ruyi jade, and a dozen gold necklaces. The main theme is wealth, and you will have no worries about food and drink for the rest of your life.

The two slept together until three o'clock in the morning.

When passing the Imperial Garden, Zhao Yao and Bao Guiren were picking flowers to make flower cakes.

The two of them saw that Shi Jing was followed by three or four palace maids and eunuchs, hugging and carrying them. Those gold and silver items, cloth and silk were presumably gifts from the emperor, so they stepped forward to congratulate him.

"The emperor has rewarded Mr. Shi Gui with so many things."

A palace maid came up and said, "Shi Gui has now been granted the title of concubine. Why don't you greet the concubine with courtesy?"

Zhao promised Bao Guiren and squatted down quickly: "Greetings to Empress Shi Bin."

Shi Jing smiled and floated away like a big fluttering moth.

To be honest, in the past few years since entering the palace, I have never been so arrogant as now. It's all up to the sisters.

Shi Jing's figure disappeared from the corner, and Zhao promised to start gossiping with Bao Guiren holding flowers:

"The emperor rewarded us with so many things, but I didn't expect that the emperor's concubine would be rewarded with even more things. Look at that big Ruyi, it's so dazzling." "We won the landlord fight with the emperor, and we don't know the history. I won by playing some game with the emperor. It would be great if the emperor invites us to sleep with him again. I feel that my level of playing landlords has improved again."

The Queen Mother had heard about the Emperor's crazy appreciation of people in Cining Palace.

Aunt Guan gently beat the Empress Dowager's leg: "Although there is an internal treasury in the palace, the concubines are rewarded according to their position, and there are rewards during festivals. This is a fixed rule. If the emperor's current reward method is followed, I am afraid that the palace will "The silver"

"It's just a reward for a few women. It doesn't matter, it's not worth anything."

"I heard that the noble concubine Shi was given the position of concubine. Shi concubine has no heirs and doesn't often sleep with her. If she gets the concubine position, I'm afraid she will attract complaints."

The Queen Mother thought for a while and asked Aunt Guan to pass Shi Jing to Cining Palace.

Even though Shi Jing was stupid, he knew that Du Jiyan had promoted her position.

Also kneeling in the Cining Palace were the record-keeping eunuch and the nun in charge of the service room. It seemed that the Queen Mother had already asked them for details before Shi Jing came. After all, the emperor's sleep is almost like a live broadcast, and there are supervisors.

"Tell me about the night you slept with me." The Queen Mother said calmly.

Shi Jing knelt in the Cining Palace. He didn't know what the record-keeping eunuch and his mama reported back to the Queen Mother. He could only say: "Which part does the Queen Mother want to hear?"

Queen Mother: "How many more sections are there?"

"At least the first half of the night and the second half of the night."

"Then tell me."

"In the first half of the night, the emperor and my concubine ate fruit cakes together, and in the second half of the night, the emperor and my concubine slept together."

Aunt Guan's voice was a bit stern: "Is Shi Bin telling the truth? The eunuch who recorded the file told grandma that you stayed in bed that night, but there was no special noise at night. The palace of Taihe was extremely quiet. Afterwards, You were sealed as a concubine, which is somewhat abnormal."

"Auntie doesn't know something." Shi Jing raised his head: "Actually, the emperor doesn't like women who scream when they are sleeping."

Aunt Guan blushed.

The Queen Mother rubbed her prayer beads and said nothing.

"The emperor said that there are eunuchs and nuns who keep records outside, so often the concubines like to make some noise to communicate with each other. In fact, the emperor likes to be quiet. The emperor said that he can watch quietly under the lamp. Concubine, he can see clearly every mole on my body."

Aunt Guan turned her face to the side. This was too detailed.

The Queen Mother also frowned.

"Is this the reason why the emperor promoted you to concubine?"

"That's not entirely true. The emperor said that my concubine smells fragrant, and the emperor smelled it all night—"

The Queen Mother held the Buddhist beads in her hand and did not dare to open her eyes again: "Go back, go back, the Ai family is going to chant sutras."

As soon as Shi Jing left, the Queen Mother asked Aunt Guan to light sandalwood and smoke the Cining Palace.

The Queen Mother has been a widow for many years and has a pure heart and few desires. What Shi Jing said made the Queen Mother feel ashamed.

Aunt Guan smoked incense while making a small report: "I heard that the emperor also rewarded Zhao Yaosheng and Bao Guiren with a lot of cloth and jewelry. Zhao Yaosheng and Bao Guiren were not favored before. Queen Mother, do you want to call them to ask."

"what?"

"This……"

"In case those two talk about things in the Emperor's palace, the Ai family are too old to listen to such things." The Queen Mother rubbed her sore forehead: "Forget it, the entire harem belongs to the Emperor, he Reward whoever you like. Your Majesty is now going to be a father, and the Ai family can no longer take care of so much."

When the emperor paid his respects to her, the queen mother was chanting sutras so much that the corners of her mouth blistered.

Aunt Guan brought a cup of tea to the emperor and said deliberately: "There are rumors in the palace that the emperor rewards your concubines lavishly, and the queen mother is quite worried about this."

Du Jiyan didn't even frown while drinking tea. This was all a small scene: "I rewarded my concubine. Is anyone jealous?"

Aunt Guan…….

"It must be those women who don't have men talking behind their backs."

Aunt Guan: Your Majesty, why don't you just report my ID card?

"If I hear these bastard words again, I will find someone to marry her."

Aunt Guan's heart trembled.

After all, I am over fifty years old. Your Majesty, do you want to marry me off?

Of course the Queen Mother understood that the Emperor was criticizing Aunt Guan and wanted to defend the people around her, so she said: "It's all the Ai family's tongue."

"Queen Mother, do you want to get married?" Du Jiyan blurted out.

The Queen Mother wanted to kick Du Jiyan out.

How could this damn kid say such nonsense?

Drive him away quickly.

Not to be offended.

do not care.

When Aunt Guan wanted to complain about this again, the Queen Mother could not help but say: "Do you want to get married?"

Aunt Guan immediately shut her mouth.

Ever since he found out that the emperor was changed by Du Jiyan, Shi Jing was completely worried.

If he has anything to do, he runs to Taihe Palace and eats and sleeps with Du Jiyan.

Du Jiyan simply turned over her brand every night to avoid having to deal with other people.

Shi Jing became the most popular person in the harem.

Even when the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent vegetables and rice to Changle Palace, they couldn't help but comment: "Concubine Shi is now the most beloved of the emperor. Yesterday, the emperor just rewarded her with the Chaoyang Palace to live in. Chaoyang Palace was the residence of the late Emperor and the Empress Dowager. The palace."

"That's not the case. The Queen Mother moved to Jingren Palace after she gave birth to His Royal Highness the King of Yue in Chaoyang Palace. Chaoyang Palace was actually an auspicious place. The Emperor rewarded Shi Binzhu with Chaoyang Palace and asked her to be the head of the first palace. See I have high hopes for Shi Bin, and her future is limitless."

Chaoyang Palace is very close to Changle Palace, because it is the place where the Queen Mother once lived. In addition, the Queen Mother occasionally goes there to take a look, so the palace maids and eunuchs often come to clean it and keep it very clean.

Who would have thought that it would be given to Shi Jing.

Shi Jing even shied away: "You have promoted me to the position of concubine, and the ancestral tombs of our Shi family are already smoking. Is it appropriate for me to live in Chaoyang Palace?"

"I say you are suitable, so you are suitable." Du Jiyan issued an imperial edict and obtained the spacious Chaoyang Palace for Shi Jing.

The lord of the first palace is served by seven or eight maids and eunuchs.

Every month, there is endless supply of silks, vegetables, and meat.

This incredible wealth is all given by sisters.

Sisters are more reliable than that little faint gentleman.

Meng Yuzhu and Tian Lingyue from Changle Palace sat opposite each other and watched the sparrows eating millet in the yard.

Since Changle Palace was sealed off, except for the Ministry of Internal Affairs who came to deliver some vegetables, white rice, oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar at intervals, there was not a single ghost to be seen at other times.

Meng Yuzhu and Tian Lingyue fought for several months, fighting again and again, but they couldn't get over each other. They couldn't even get out of the palace gate of Changle Palace. After all, there were guards erected not far from the palace gate. There, except for people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, they can come and go at will. If anyone from Changle Palace is found running out, regardless of master or slave, if one comes out, one will die, and if two come out, both will die.

The information that Meng Yuzhu and Tian Lingyue could know was also brought by people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

For example, the queen is about to give birth.

For example, Wei Bin had a stomachache at night.

For example, the two low-level concubines Zhao promised and Shi Guiren were also blessed by the emperor.

At this time, Meng Yuzhu and Tian Lingyue gnashed their teeth.

Meng Yuzhu: "Zhao promised to be with Bao Guiren, haha, what are those two things? When I was so favored, even Du Jiyan's little hooves had to sit in the Yongfu Palace and embroider purses. Now I'm down and out. They floated up."

Tian Lingyue: "Shi Jing can be named a concubine? She has no talent or virtue, why? In terms of beauty, I am far above her."

The people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs shook their heads and closed the door of Changle Palace again.
