Chapter 178
(I forgot to tell you, my family is in Urumqi, the city is closed, so I can only code for you, my heart is ashamed)

Zhao Sijin got up from his seat and bowed down in front of Chu Jin, "Don't worry, empress, I understand what is more important, and I understand the empress's concerns. I am content with what I deserve. As for you, I have a lot of feelings in my heart." I respect you. I will always remember that if you hadn’t spoken for me, my life might have been gone long ago.”

Chu Jin sneered and shook his head, "I can't hear flattery in my ears, just remember what I said. If you imitate He Lanshan and make the wrong thoughts in the future, then what will happen to her today is You are tomorrow, do you understand?"

Zhao Sijin nodded vigorously, expressing her determination to Chu Jin with firm eyes.

After she left, Linglong asked Chu Jin something like this, "Miss, since you know that she is not a worry-free person, why don't you present her to the emperor, let the emperor punish her severely, and cut off her escape route?"

Chu Jin smiled playfully, scratched the tip of Linglong's nose, and said, "Are you stupid? How could I hide it for her? But it didn't come out of my mouth. I told the emperor and asked him to find an opportunity Get on with Jiang Mubai. I'll sing with a red face, and the emperor with a white face, what good can she ask for?"

Linglong thought for a while, scratched the back of her head and smiled innocently, "Miss wants her to remember your kindness, and then give her a sap behind her back~~~."

"She dared to kill He Lanshan so blatantly. It was clear that she had planned a retreat and wanted to pour dirty water on me. He Lanshan is not a good person, and she, Zhao Sijin, is not too strong." Chu Jin stretched out Lazy, yawned and said: "I'm really tired after talking with her for so long, let's take a rest."

Linglong glanced at the sky outside the window, wondering: "Miss, I can't sleep. You forgot, the queen mother called you to go to her palace to say hello this afternoon, and it seems that the time is almost the same."

Chu Jin looked helpless, picked up the teacup and drank the rest of the tea in one gulp, waved his hands, got up and went to Xianshou Palace.

During the few days when Empress Dowager Zhang suffered from back pain, Chu Jin waited by her side every day in order to please the old lady.

This method is more or less useful, Empress Dowager Zhang no longer has a straight face when she sees her, and she can still show a kind smile after saying a few words.

Today, Empress Dowager Zhang specially asked Chu Jin to go to her palace to pay her respects, presumably she had something to discuss with her.

He Lanshan passed away suddenly, Chu Jin thought that Empress Dowager Zhang would talk to her about this matter.

Unexpectedly, after entering Xianshou Palace, Empress Dowager Zhang didn't say a word about it, instead she just said compassionate words to Chu Jin.

"The empress has been working hard in managing the affairs of the Six Palaces recently. Aijia has seen the accounts. Since you took charge, the expenses of the harem have been saved by more than half compared to the former empress."

???

What nonsense are you talking about, old man?

When Baili Shuhua was the queen, Concubine Li, Guo Guiren, Li Guiren, and Liu Yingyun in the palace were all outstretched and waiting to ask for the monthly payment.

When it was her turn to be the empress, apart from Concubine Zhang's high status in the palace, the monthly allowances promised by Xiao and Chen could not keep up with a fifth-rank official. Where did the expenses come from?

She smiled awkwardly, "The empress dowager praised you."

The queen mother tapped her back lightly with a mallet, and looked out of the door from time to time, as if she was expecting something.

A moment later, Aunt Qingzhu bowed in holding a potted chrysanthemum.

Chu Jin looked at it, and saw that the chrysanthemums in the potted plant had six colors of purple, white, yellow, green, pink, and red, and the clusters looked like a rainbow after the rain, which was very pleasing to the eye.

Empress Dowager Zhang looked at the small table at hand and ordered Qing Zhu to put down the potted plants, and there was originally a pot of chrysanthemums on the small table.

It's just a monotonous and ordinary yellow color, far less beautiful than the later potted plant.

"This is a new species bred by the Department of Flower and Bird. All kinds of autumn chrysanthemums decorate the autumn of the imperial garden with red and purple colors. The queen thinks it looks good?"

Chu Jin smiled without saying a word, and nodded slowly, Empress Dowager Zhang pointed to another pot of monotonous chrysanthemums and shook her head and sighed: "Yellow is the true color of chrysanthemums, but it is too monotonous, and you will get tired of seeing too much. "

Ha ha
Only then did Chu Jin understand the meaning of Queen Mother Zhang's words. After a long time of comparison, didn't he just want to tell Chu Jin that there are very few concubines in the harem now, is it time to choose a concubine for Xuan Jue?
Her old man is really busy, all day long he just thinks about finding a wife for his son, and never tires of it.

Chu Jin kept an embarrassed but polite smile, "What does the Queen Mother want to remind the concubines?"

"The Ai family doesn't have one." The Empress Dowager Zhang denied, "It's time to enjoy the flowers. What did the Ai family remind the queen of?"

Chu Jin nodded, "Oh, forget it."

Empress Dowager Zhang was obviously choked by Chu Jin's words. She was silent for a while, but Chu Jin didn't speak, so she could only bite the bullet and continue in embarrassment: "It's just that the queen also thinks that the emperor's harem is pleasing to the eye. Shouldn't it be time to add some color, too?"

Chu Jin didn't know where the jealousy came from, and she suddenly rushed to her heart. She pretended not to understand, and said: "Tomorrow, the concubine will order the servants of the House of Internal Affairs to paint the eaves and open roof of Chaoyang Palace with colorful paints. Then move the chrysanthemums cultivated and planted by Huaniao Sixin to the courtyard of Chaoyang Palace and plant them, would the Empress Dowager think it would be good?"

? ?
The emperor's residence is painted in colorful colors, wouldn't it become a chicken coop?
Empress Dowager Zhang heard that Chu Jin was pretending to be confused, so her face turned dark immediately, "To be a queen, you have to be tolerant of others. The queen has been favored for so many years, she really wants to dominate Are you the first emperor? You know, the emperor of Dazhao has never belonged to you alone."

Chu Jin rolled her eyes countless times at Empress Dowager Zhang. Why can't Xuan Jue belong to her alone?

With your son asking me to stick to it with one heart and one mind, he can mess around openly?
What logic? ?
Chu Jinqian laughed, patted herself on the forehead, and said, "Oh queen, you don't know that the concubine has been in a daze since she gave birth to Luan Yu. The imperial physicians said that the concubine is called a concubine You have been pregnant for three years, if you have anything to say, you can tell your concubine directly, why go around in circles?"

"The Ai family sees that you are not stupid at all, but you play around as if you are a fool." Empress Dowager Zhang became angry, and forgot the strength of the gavel in her hand, and indulged in a look at her waist, causing her to grin her teeth in pain Howling again and again.

Chu Jin suppressed a smile, and asked with concern: "Is the Queen Mother okay?"

The Empress Dowager Zhang calmed down herself, let the green bamboo massage and knead her behind her, and said to Chu Jin seriously: "The day of the draft is not far away, the queen is going to discuss this matter. There are so many concubines in the Youdu. So, the emperor can't lose."

Do you want to compare yourself with others?Why don't you compare with others whose hair is longer?

Chu Jin let out a sigh of sudden realization, and said repeatedly: "What do you say when you are still the queen mother~ Isn't it just to give the emperor a new concubine? What a big deal, you can just tell the concubine and it's over?"

Empress Dowager Zhang really couldn't see Chu Jin's displeasure, so she raised her eyebrows and said curiously: "The queen is willing?"

Chu Jin opened her eyes wide, and nodded sincerely, "It's not about choosing a husband for the concubine, why would the concubine be unwilling? If there are multiple people serving the emperor, the concubine can spend more time taking care of Yu'er and being filial to the queen mother, right?" ?" Said respectfully, stepped forward to help the Empress Dowager rub her shoulders and legs, coaxing the Empress Dowager into joy.

Empress Dowager Zhang smiled from ear to ear, patted the back of Chu Jin's hand, and said, "The empress understands the general situation, which is the blessing of the emperor and Dazhao. The Ai family also likes it, very much!"
