Biography of Concubine Shujia

Chapter 159

"No, my daughter-in-law respectfully obeys my mother and concubine's teachings. I will definitely help King Ze take care of the backyard, so that the prince has no worries and mother and concubine can rest assured." Princess Ze got up and bowed solemnly.

"Look, sisters, the daughters-in-law here in this palace don't worry much. What about you?" Concubine Shujia looked around at the concubines in the palace and asked lightly.

"Concubines/concubines always remember the teachings of imperial concubines and empresses."

Except for the two wives, everyone stood up and answered.

"Get up, let's wait and see." Concubine Shujia raised her hand, and everyone got up and sat in their seats and waited without mentioning it.

"Third daughter-in-law, it stands to reason that this matter is not going to bother you. But with the sixth girl's temperament, I am really worried. The eighth girl is out of the palace again, and it is not a problem for her to be bored all day. So I Thinking about it, you are her sister-in-law anyway, so please take the time to teach her how to behave. Just think of it as helping my mother and concubine me with this favor."

Concubine Xian opened her mouth to break the silence in the hall.Lu Rongjing is also a smart person, as she gets older, she is no more beautiful and energetic than those young concubines.The reason why the emperor was willing to go and sit with her was because of the bond of the sixth imperial daughter.

She has been raising the sixth princess for many years, and fought with the Bai family, which finally made the child reluctant to invite her two into the room.Even though later, the two joined hands to save the sixth emperor so that she would not have to marry far away, in the heart of the sixth emperor, her two mothers and concubines were not easy to get along with.

The emperor is a nostalgic person, and he also pays attention to the relationship with his children.If she is willing to visit their palace more, she has to do what she likes, and treat the Sixth Princess better.

Unlike the fifth imperial daughter, the sixth imperial daughter was of high birth, and she even married directly into the Du family. No matter what happens in the future, the Chen and Du families are related.

The emperor had revealed to her about the marriage of the sixth emperor in private, and wanted to refer the marriage to the Chen family, so that she would not want to tell the children.Staying with the sixth princess for one more year, she thought that the emperor might still use the Lu family.Then he didn't make a sound, who would have thought that after that, the family sent their niece to the palace for a draft.

It made her feel a lot colder. The family is watching the aristocratic family wither, is the heart getting bigger?

That being the case, let them make trouble, it's better than blaming yourself for being troublesome in the end.Therefore, facing her niece Concubine Jing who lived in the same palace but was not favored by the emperor, she kept a rare silence.

The few newcomers who entered the palace this time, they don't care about their high positions, the emperor has no shortage of heirs, these little girls are sent to the palace again, just for the emperor's entertainment, and there will be no big disturbances.

Minxian was afraid that she would be impulsive, so she once told her in private that after bedtime, these beautiful maids, without exception, were given soup by the respect room.The emperor didn't want any more heirs from the family at all, and he didn't like these immature girls.

Then, what I can do if I don't deal with Concubine Dezhuang is to make the relationship with Mrs. Du more harmonious.And she has been with the emperor for many years, and she can also see how much the emperor cares about Du Shi and Du Shi's heirs.In the future, maybe I will have to make a living under the hands of others. If I am more sincere and supportive now, life will not be too difficult in the future.

To curry favor with Du Shiniang, she might as well help her daughter-in-law Princess Ze.The little girl who has just entered the palace is still immature in her methods, so she can help out a little bit more. In terms of this help, her mother-in-law may remember her better.

In addition, it is to find a good backer for the sixth princess. No matter what happens in the future, with the backing of a royal brother who holds real power, she will never be bullied and live a bad life.

"Mother and concubine, you are being polite. Whether you want to help or not, you think highly of Zichen. It is Zichen's honor to entrust Fu Zichen to accompany the sixth younger sister."

Looking at the smiling eyes of Concubine Duanxian, Princess Ze insisted on finishing the rest of the sentence, "But my mother and concubine have to deal with palace affairs, take care of the tenth younger brother, and worry about the sixth younger brother, and even the eighth younger sister. Just worry about it. As a daughter-in-law, I should help my mother and concubine share their worries."

"It's okay, I can teach you when I have time." Mrs. Duanxian's eyes flickered, she spoke slowly, and said in her heart, this concubine Jia's daughter-in-law doesn't want to be so easy on the outside.

"The lord said to let the son take care of his mother and concubine and take care of his younger brother. On the side of the sixth younger sister, the son is afraid that he will be powerless, and he is afraid of delaying the younger sister. It is not as good as the mother..." Princess Ze hesitated to speak, and shunned embarrassingly. .

"Sister Xian, please avoid this child. She is an honest person. Yao'er asked her to follow me during the day, serve me, and take care of my two younger brothers. She really followed suit. Taking a nap at noon, she was always helping to fan the fan. She couldn't be free for a moment, but she didn't listen. Xiao Liu loves to cling to her now, but she is busier than me these days."

Ten Niang said a lot of good things about her daughter-in-law.

"This kid looks handsome, he can talk, and he's so capable. What kind of luck did my sister have to get you a good daughter-in-law. It's much more worry-free than that little daughter-in-law over there."

Mrs. Hui Min boasted with a smile, and by the way talked about the newly acquired concubine of the Queen of England.The king's concubine is her own niece, and she knows what's going on there.

"That's right, I heard that there was a lot of commotion over there. My good boy, you young couple are also at the prince's house, and you are neighbors with them, did you hear any rumors?" Bai Jieyu asked Princess Ze.

"Come on, sisters say it's lively, don't always make things difficult for this child." Shi Niang said to Bai Jieyu lightly, "No matter how you say it, she is the sister-in-law of Chen girl over there. But the sisters are very well informed about the news. Listen to me Listen, I'm so busy every day, I actually missed a lot of excitement."

"It's not that we are well-informed, it's that my sister is busy with your affairs. You started to make trouble a few days ago." Mrs. Duanxian also recovered from her little thoughts just now, "Didn't Li Siqin find two daughters-in-law with me all at once? What? These two little girls fought fiercely."

"Sister Hui, what's the matter?" Ten Niang asked Mrs. Huimin, Chen Minxian nodded, smiled indifferently, and admitted the matter.

"Rong Jing is right. There has always been fighting in this harem. It is normal for the king's main concubine and side concubine to fight."

"Minxian can see it. Your niece is so powerful that she grabbed our second prince and prevented him from entering the little Li family." Mrs. Duanxian gloated. She just couldn't understand Li's family. Women are just as arrogant.

"It was supposed to be the side concubine who came in first, and the elder concubine Degui was afraid that Xiao Li would go in first, and she would lose face. She just asked for her niece to come in behind the concubine." Lan Xiurong told the truth objectively.

"No, thanks to the generosity of the Chen family, Princess Ying took care of the overall situation. Otherwise, isn't this embarrassing?" Bai Jieyu said anxiously, "I don't know how Elder Sister De charmed the emperor, but agreed to this unruly thing Require."

"Sister be careful, the emperor's decision is not something we sisters can say." Chen Minxian glared at Bai Shi, "The King of England is not confused, it is not a good reputation to spoil concubines and kill wives."

"That's what the eldest niece is capable of. The little Li wants to save face, and in the end he even lost his lining. Who is to blame?" Lu Rongjing sneered, "This little Li is also stupid. The King of England is her cousin, and he can't even catch a man. He actually reported it to Li Shina."

"Oh? What did Sister De say? The palms and the backs of the hands are full of flesh. The two beautiful daughter-in-laws must not be willing to punish either?" Ten Niang smiled and took the pastry that Princess Ze handed over. I squeezed a piece and put it in my mouth.

"Do you think someone else's mother-in-law loves her daughter-in-law like a younger sister?" Lu Rongjing glanced at Shi Niang, and then said, "Of course it turned out to be helping Xiao Li. This is not over yet, and the real daughter-in-law was punished; if it weren't for the King of England It will be bad for the princess who is punished to kneel after receiving the letter."

"Punish to kneel?" Ten Niang pretended to be surprised and covered her mouth with a handkerchief, "Isn't this too much? I think Princess Ying's child is very good, and the rules are good. Sister De always punishes her Reason?"

"Is there any reason, but Princess Ying bid her good night, so she found an excuse that she was disrespectful to her mother-in-law. The child was punished to kneel outside the gate of Linzhi Palace. All the palace people who came and went saw it, if it weren't for us The second prince loves his daughter-in-law, and he doesn't know how it will end."

"This mother-in-law and daughter-in-law don't have an overnight feud. Elder sister De is in a hurry when she thinks about it. When her anger subsides, let the child be subdued, and the family can have a good life." Shi Niang really said this to Mrs. Huimin , After all, she is her niece.

"This matter is not as simple as my sister thought. My niece is young and doesn't know the seriousness. She has a body and doesn't know. It was the King of England who found out that something was wrong with her. We got into a fight, and made a fuss in front of the emperor, going out to live in the palace."

"This is a big mess!" Shi Niang turned to hold Mrs. Huimin's hand, "It's difficult for my sister to be caught in the middle. The emperor must have asked you to mediate. Sister De's side, it's not easy for the younger sister to intervene, Ying On the side of the concubine, there is no one to talk to at a young age. Girl Chen, go visit your second sister-in-law when you get back. This palace is the same as your concubine Demu, and your sister-in-law still has to move around. "

"My sister has a heart. Little Li has already been grounded by the emperor for instigating discord between her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. The third daughter-in-law, please take care of your sister-in-law. When she recovers, ask her to come to the door to thank you in person."

"My son knows." Princess Ze replied to Shi Niang, and then turned to Mrs. Huimin and said, "Mother Hui, please don't embarrass me. My son is timid, and I'm afraid of disturbing my second brother and sister-in-law, so I don't mind." I came to visit. Taking care of the second sister-in-law is what a sister-in-law should do, don't worry, with the imperial doctor right, the second sister-in-law will definitely give us a royal family."

"Oh, this Li Shi, I really don't know what to say about her." Lu Rongjing said, "When you are young, you don't care much, but when you are old, you still don't matter."

"She's been like this for so many years, she hasn't changed." Shi Niang sneered when she heard this, "It's a pity that so many years have passed."

"Girl, are you saying who hasn't changed?" The emperor's voice came from outside the hall, making everyone in the hall jump.

In the early years, they could still see the emperor when they greeted the empress dowager.In the past few years, the Empress Dowager has gone, and the Empress never returns to Ganye Temple, so the concubines also go to the Yaohua Palace every [-]th day of the Lunar New Year to pay their respects, and it is not easy to see the Emperor.

According to the rules of the ancestors, the emperor will stay in the queen's palace on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year.The queen is not there, the emperor usually stays in the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and goes directly to the court in the morning, and returns to the Hall of Mental Cultivation to approve papers in the next court, and rarely goes to the Yaohua Palace.

Based on the lineage of noble concubines of Dezhuang, some concubines would not come to Yaohua Palace, if the emperor was expected not to come.If they knew that the emperor would come to the Yaohua Palace after his downfall, they would not miss the opportunity to meet the emperor.

"Greetings to the emperor!" Ten Niang got up and saluted with the concubines.

Princess Ze followed behind several high-ranking officials, and said softly, "Daughter-in-law pays respects to Father and Emperor."

The emperor put down the ten emperor's daughter in his arms, stepped forward to help the ten mother who saluted and greeted her, and said, "Let's not talk about it, let you take care of your body, don't salute all the time. This is just better, and it's so insignificant of."

Shi Niang was a little uncomfortable being helped up by the emperor, and the man had another convulsion, which made others laugh.

"Your majesty, the concubines are fine. Let the younger sisters get up." Shi Niang shook off the hand held by the emperor, reminding him that his harem concubines were still kneeling.

"Get up." The emperor pulled Shi Niang to sit on the head, looked at her expression, and saw that she was tired, but a little unhappy, "Is this tired? I'm tired and I won't take a rest. The old man Third daughter-in-law, look back and see that your mother and concubine are tired, so let her rest, and don't bother her with those troublesome things."

"My daughter-in-law knows my mistake, and my daughter-in-law will obey my father's will in the future." Princess Ze quickly knelt down and answered.

"Why are you scaring her? She's a child, how can she take care of me as a mother-in-law?" Ten Niang unhappily pulled off the emperor's sleeve, "It's not about your daughter's lawsuit, Otherwise, whoever has free time is waiting. It's not that the sisters and sisters have nothing to do, so they have to spend their time here."

"Young girl's mouth, it really hasn't changed at all. I hurriedly brought those two girls, and Xinsi's investigation is almost done. We ended this lawsuit earlier, so you should rest earlier." The emperor took her hand and patted it.

The concubines below saw it as if they didn't see it, and sat in their seats just waiting to watch the show. Fangzheng would not pay attention to them as long as Concubine Jia was with the emperor.

"Since the nine girls and the ten girls are here, please trouble the emperor to listen to the trial of the case together." Shi Niang twitched her hand, and let the emperor hold it without pulling, "Let Chen girl get up first, This child doesn't know how good it is, I'm not that unreasonable mother-in-law who wants to punish my daughter-in-law to kneel and admit her mistakes."

"You, even I should arrange it." The emperor smiled helplessly, "Get up, third daughter-in-law, you are fine. I will serve your mother and concubine well in the future, and I will ask Yao'er to apologize to you."

The emperor was admitting that he had wrongly blamed his daughter-in-law before.Because Concubine Jia protected his daughter-in-law, he was also satisfied and praised her.

"Thank you for your compliment. The minister and the concubine will be filial to you and the concubine mother, and share the worries for the concubine mother." After finishing her answer obediently, Princess Ze stood up and stood behind her mother-in-law.

"This child is a clever talker. The girl has been trained well. Let her take care of her younger siblings as well."

"Okay, when you think about it, the concubine was already tired. This child has been helping me take care of Xiao Liu Xiao Shi all these days."

"Really? The third daughter-in-law is capable. What do you do with your mother and concubine on weekdays?"

Shi Niang interrupted the emperor's desire to continue asking, "You can stay for dinner today, and girl Chen will serve us."

Turning to talk about what the princess said earlier, "Shi girl, come, come to your father and concubine Jiamu."

"Jingru obeys." The tenth princess was only five years old. She was in the adoptive mother's palace, on the way to Yaohua Palace, she ran into her father, who carried her to Yaohua Palace. She is still excited middle.

Seeing her adoptive mother's gesture, she hurriedly raised her small face and smiled at the two people above her.

In front of the two emperors and concubines at the top of the aisle, the ten imperial daughters knelt down to pay respects to Concubine Shujia, "Jingru please greet Concubine Jiamu."

"Good boy, get up quickly." After Shi Niang signaled the emperor to let go, she took the hand of the ten emperor daughter with her hand.

"Ah." The tenth emperor was caught off guard, gasped, and resisted the urge to shake off the catkin that was pinching her hand.

But her round eyes were full of tears on her round apple face.

After some testing, Shi Niang naturally knew that her little hands must be full of scars.But before she had time to let go of the tenth emperor's hand, she was interrupted by Li Fanyi's cry.

"Your Majesty, I beg you to make the decision for this poor concubine's daughter." Li Fanyi cried with pear blossoms and rain, "Jingru, this child has suffered under Sister Jiang. For such a young child, Jiang is forcing her to learn embroidery. The child is now Life is hard, and even the courtiers and concubines can’t see her easily. It was Sister Jing who accidentally saw Jingru and let the concubine know what happened to my poor daughter. Sister Jing also said that the child has many wounds on his hands, isn’t it If it happens once or twice, it must be the mark of taking the needle for a long time."

"Master Jing?" Mrs. Huimin asked, this Mrs. Li didn't bite out Mrs. Lu before, but she confessed her with just opening his mouth in front of the emperor.

These actions made Chen Minxian have to wonder if it was a trap set up by Concubine Dezhuang.

Li Shi and Concubine Jia Du Shi are at odds, so it is not impossible to be won over by Concubine Dezhuang.Then Li Shi and Xiao Lu's hands broke Rong Jing and her relationship with Du Shiniang, but she was not careless.

Little Lu is Lu's niece, no matter if she is close or not, if something happens, she will definitely choose to help the family for the sake of family peace.

As for himself, it was with his secret help that Jiang got the custody of the Tenth Emperor's daughter, and even recommended Jiang to Du himself.

This Jiang family may have found someone else's way this time, and now he can only wait and see what happens, don't let Rong Jing's impulsiveness play into his hands, and he has to find evidence in private to talk to Du Shiniang.

Chen Minxian thought clearly after all these twists and turns, staring at Li Fenyi, the cold light in her eyes flashed away, "Why didn't Sister Li just say that this matter has something to do with Mrs. Jing?"

"Who in this palace doesn't know that Sister Jing and Sister Xian are aunts and nephews, and your Sister Hui is on good terms with Sister Xian. How dare the concubine tell the truth when the two of you are here? You don't have to hurt Sister Jing and be blamed by you . " After what Li Fanyi said, Mrs. Lu just stared at her.

"Since Mrs. Jing saw this, please tell me, Mrs. Jing, when did you find out that the Tenth Emperor's daughter had a wound on her hand?" Ten Niang ignored Li Fenyi's words and asked Mrs. Jing who was sitting in the back seat.

"Imperial concubine, before you ask sister Jing, can you let go of Jingru's hand? Are you also like Jiang, afraid of punishing the child for talking nonsense?" Li Funyi pointed at Shi Niang and accused her.

"Presumptuous!" The emperor slapped the phone, and the teacup shook a few times before it stabilized, "Who gave you permission to talk to the concubine like this, slap your mouth."

"Forget it, it's not the first day that Sister Li disliked the palace. In front of the child, it's time to punish my sister for this matter, and punish her for copying the palace rules for a month. Can Sister Jing say it?" Shi Niang let go of the ten emperor daughter hand, blocking the road indifferently.

"Concubine, concubine doesn't know, but she accidentally saw a wound on the finger of the ten emperor's daughter, and dared not say anything. Later, Sister Li found the concubine, and kept forcing her to ask about seeing the ten emperor's daughter. Concubine The concubine has no choice but to tell Sister Li that the imperial concubine has an injury on her hand, and the concubine will not know anything about it after that, so the emperor and the noble concubine please look into it."

The quiet and noble Mr. Lu was a little nervous, but he still explained the matter clearly.

"No, Sister Jing, that's not what you said at the time. You said you could prove that it was Mrs. Jiang who scolded the ten imperial daughters. You said that when you were at home, your aunt had scolded you when she forced you to practice embroidery. The ten emperors have the same experience as you."

"Sister Li, what are you talking about? Although my sister is not as prominent as my aunt when she entered the palace, but the concubine is also a decent daughter-in-law. How could she be scolded by her mother and concubine? Are you worried that the emperor is confused?" Pazi looked aggrieved and looked at the emperor and Mrs. Duanxian above him.

But neither the emperor nor Mrs. Duanxian spoke to comfort her, and the hall was a little awkward for a while.

"Concubine Jiamu, it doesn't hurt anymore. Thank you Concubine Jia." Jingru bowed to the ten mothers in the middle, "The medicine on your handkerchief is very effective, can you give me some rewards?"

"Jingru must not be rude." Jiang Shunrong stood up and thanked the imperial concubine, "Thank you, Madam, for helping the princess apply the medicine."

"Concubine Mother, Jingru's hand really doesn't hurt anymore, look." The tenth emperor stretched out her hand, and said to Jiang Shunrong, "It looks like the eye of the needle has disappeared."

"The medicine prescribed by the imperial physician has not been applied, so it doesn't hurt? Of course it won't hurt after applying the medicine." Jiang Shunrong wrapped the hand of the tenth emperor with a handkerchief.

Seeing the interaction between mother and daughter, Shi Niang felt relieved.Meeting Chen Minxian's worried eyes, she shook her head.

"Jingru is learning embroidery from your mother and concubine these days? Is it interesting?" Ten Niang asked.

"Yes, the lotus flower fan embroidered by the concubine mother is very beautiful. The osmanthus flowers on the bellyband embroidered by the concubine mother are also beautiful." The ten imperial daughter's big eyes were shining with obsession.

"Then you don't have to make your hands full of needles, do you?" Ten Niang nodded funnyly on the nose of the Tenth Queen.

"Concubine Jia, Jingru said that you are not allowed to laugh at Jingru." The little girl smiled embarrassedly, "It was Concubine Jing who once told Concubine Li that she asked Ninth Sister to embroider a purse for the emperor to beg him. Er Chen accidentally heard it, so he also thought about embroidering a fan cover for his father. Coincidentally, the birthday of the seventh brother and the others is coming soon, so Er Chen thought about embroidering a few purses to practice his hands."

"And then you poked the needles all over your hands?" Shi Niang joked.

"Yes, my concubine stopped me from embroidering, so I could only embroider secretly at night. When my mother found out about the injury on my hand, I prescribed ointment. But those ointments were dark, and I didn't like it." paint."

"Oh, this is still a beautiful little girl." Shi Niang couldn't help laughing, "Do you know how much trouble it caused your mother and concubine?"

"Mother and concubine is the best for Jingru. From now on, Jingru will be filial to mother and concubine, obedient and obedient. Don't dare to mess around again." The tenth imperial daughter threw herself into Jiang Shunrong's arms, embarrassed.

"No, it's not like this. Someone must have taught the princess to say that on purpose. Jingru, Jingru, look at mother, I'm your real mother!" Li Fanyi cried.

"Mother and concubine don't need to be sad, we don't care if you forget your mother and don't recognize your sister like that." The Nine Emperors, who had been by Li's side all the time, spat.

"The Ninth Princess opened her mouth so fiercely. Can Xin Si find out what the princess said?"

"Returning to the words of the imperial concubine, it is true that the nine emperors punished the palace servants for no reason, as evidenced by the palace's testimony."

"Bitch, you're just a few slaves, so I can't punish you?" The Ninth Emperor scolded Xin Si, "You dog slave, who gave you the guts to torture the people I'm working with?"
