Chapter 42

Empress Dowager Zhang put the matter of the draft on the agenda, and everyone inside and outside the palace was busy, and the harem was busy again.

Xiao Ying and Liu Ying heard the news of the draft and went to look for the queen crying. They only said that the two of them ruined their looks and it was rare to be a king. If they choose a newcomer, their life will be even more hopeless.

The queen didn't bother to pay attention to them, and comforted the emperor that he was a dedicated person and would not lose sight of one another, but she laughed in her heart that the two of them were stupid, and they hadn't seen favors when they were good-looking.

Li Guiren's wound from the bee sting was mostly healed, but the annoyance left an ugly red mark on his face, like a scar from a pox, it was really ugly.

She put on heavy makeup every day, turning herself into a painted face on the stage.

One day, Chu Jin was about to take a break after lunch, but she saw Linglong running back with her mouth covered with a smile, so she asked her what happened.

Linglong said quickly: "Li Guiren ran to Chaoyang Palace to deliver cakes to the emperor. Seeing that her face was heavily powdered, the emperor dismissed her and asked her to take off the thick putty. Li Guiren had to obey the order, and then took off the putty." The red pimple marks on the face of the makeup were exposed, and the emperor was even more disgusted, and he didn't even leave the cake, so Li Guiren sent her back to the palace with his hands."

Chu Jin laughed at her as asking for self-inflicted humiliation, and said it without much thought.

Unexpectedly, when I woke up the next morning to do my makeup in the mirror, I found that I also had three or four red and swollen pimples on my face, but they were all on the spots.

Linglong smeared some cooling ointment on it, and said: "For the past two days, kumquats are suitable for the young lady's appetite. That thing got angry, and the young lady developed acne after using it too much, and it went away in a few days, so don't worry about it."

She said she didn't have to worry about it, but Chu Jin was afraid.

Thinking of the red mark on Li Guiren's face being disliked by Xuan Jue, Xuan Jue would most likely make a mockery of him seeing him like this.

However, he is busy with government affairs, the first victory in the Northwest War, and he is busy hosting banquets for meritorious ministers, so how can he have time to worry about the harem?
Speaking of the Northwest War, Chu Jin's father, Chu Huaishan, has made the most contributions.

Thinking of this, Chu Jin felt unhappy.

The closer Xuan Jue and Chu Huaishan got, and the more meritorious service Chu Huaishan made, the less likely he was to bring down the Chu family.

Although I have a little favor, but I am still just a noble person.What is this noble person, even a concubine, how can he discuss state affairs in front of Xuan Jue?
I was thinking about it in my heart, but the boundary of Diyuan City is so evil, just talking about Xuan Jue's lack of time to talk to her in the past two days, Liu Qi came here in a hurry.

"My lord is honored. Your Majesty hosted a banquet at Tonghua Terrace for Mr. Chu, who returned in triumph. I invite you to go with me."

"Ah?" Chu Jin was stunned, and waved his hands again and again, "I won't go, I won't go, if you go back to the emperor, just say I'm uncomfortable, don't go."

uncomfortable?Liu Qi saw it for real, Chu Jin's complexion was rosy and lively, and his voice was louder than usual. How could he look uncomfortable?

How could he, a eunuch, know what was going on with his daughter's family?
Invited Chu Jin again and again, but Chu Jin refused again and again, and finally even got annoyed, so he could only go back to the emperor's words in disgrace.

When he came, Xuan Jue and Chu Huaishan were having a drink, and everyone was excited. Seeing that Liu Qi came alone, Xuan Jue said, "Where is Mr. Chu?"

Liu Qi stammered: "Grandma Chu Chu said she was not comfortable, so she won't come."

"Uncomfortable?" Xuan Jue put down the wine glass in his hand, and said anxiously: "Why not comfortable? Did you call the imperial physician?"

Liu Qi shook his head, and Xuan Jue threw the wine glass at him, "Stupid thing! Mrs. Chu is not feeling well, why don't you ask the imperial doctor to take care of it, why are you working as an errand?"

Chu Huaishan was also surprised to see Xuan Jue's behavior like this, how could he have expected that his unworthy daughter-in-law would be so valued by the emperor in the palace?

What surprised him even more was that his jaw dropped. All the military officers in the Tonghua Terrace were sitting and eating with Xuan Jue, but he got up in a hurry and told everyone that he had something to do, so he left first.

Even a fool can tell that Xuan Jue has gone to Zhaochun Palace to see the "sick" nobleman of Chu, so disregarding the dignity of a monarch and his ministers, he only spoils a little noble who is not even a concubine, everyone There are some complaints in my heart.

But who didn't know that Chu Jin was Chu Huaishan's direct daughter, so she didn't dare to discuss anything, but congratulated Chu Huaishan with duplicity: "Chu Weng is blessed to have such a daughter."

Chu Huaishan had no choice but to respond to their words with a smile, all kinds of suffering, only he could understand.

Xuan Jue rushed all the way to Zhaochun Palace, ordering Liu Qi to call the imperial doctor quickly, and when he saw Liu Qi not moving, he was even more annoyed, patted his head and cursed: "Are you deaf? Can't hear my orders? ?"

Liu Qi drooped his head and said: "Your Majesty, I see that nobleman Chu is doing well, so I clearly don't want to come."

"Don't want to come? How could she not want to come? Chu Huaishan is her father, and she hasn't seen her mother's family after entering the palace for so long, shouldn't she be happy?" Xuan Jue murmured, "Could it be that I did something bad with good intentions? gone?"

Liu Qi said: "The nobleman Chu, if he didn't deal with Lord Chu, he was angry with you, the emperor."

"Why are you angry with me? What did I do to her?"

After saying this, Xuan Jue suddenly thought.

Empress Dowager Zhang's two-day Zhang Luo drafting has become known to everyone, and she was busy with government affairs and rarely entered the harem, not to mention that Chu Jin felt jealous that she was going to take a concubine.

Is she jealous?
Xuan Jue was thinking like this, but his heart was so sweet that he even wanted to laugh.

When rushing to Zhaochun Palace, the door of Chu Jin's room was tightly closed, and Ren Xuanjue still refused to open until her hands hurt from knocking on it.

Chu Jin leaned against the door, stubbornly resisting to let Xuan Jue in, "The emperor hosted a banquet for the courtiers, why did you come here for the concubine?"

"Are you angry with me?" Xuan Jue said this carefully, but Chu Jin was confused by the question.

angry?What are you angry about?He didn't do anything.
Seeing that Chu Jin was ignoring him, Xuan Jue became a little anxious, "The talent show is the queen mother's idea, and I reject it in my heart, so don't be angry with me."

'Pfft' Chu Jin covered her mouth and let out a sneer, thinking that the emperor was cute and silly.

He chose his concubine, why would he be jealous?I made a special trip to explain to myself.
Chu Jin said: "It has nothing to do with this matter, I have a slight cold, but I am afraid that I will give the emperor the sickness."

"Really?" Xuan Jue became even more anxious when he heard this, "Then let me go in and take a look, just a look!"

"No no, no no, no no," Chu Yan died and stood up at the door of the room, and said, "I lack a while, and I want to rest for a while.

"They came to eat and not to eat me. Are they three-year-olds? Do I have to accompany me to eat?"

Chu Jin said: "The concubine is saying that the emperor was born handsome, if the concubine sees you blushing, how can I rest?"

Is this a compliment?
Xuan Jue twitched the corners of his lips secretly, cleared his throat, and said, "Then I will ask the imperial doctor to come and take a look at it for you, and you will soon be able to lie down and rest, and I will come to see you again at night."

Chu Jin said 'hmm', then stopped talking to Xuan Jue, and went back to lie comfortably on the couch.

Outside the door, it took a while to hear the sound of Xuan Jue leaving.

This idiot is quite interested in me.
Thinking of this, Chu Jin unconsciously burst into a smile.
