Biography of Concubine Shujia

Chapter 38

"Today's errand is well done, take advantage of what the queen has given you." The emperor praised Wang Chaosheng who was waiting at the side.

"Long live God forgives the sin, the empress's reward, slave, slave..." Wang Chaosheng was shocked in his heart, met the emperor's knowing eyes, and hurriedly knelt down to apologize.

A few days ago, the empress had summoned him, by inquiring about the title of the concubine's bedside archives.

The queen expected that after the emperor was busy with the previous court and comforted the high-ranking concubines in the harem, he would definitely renovate the brand of Xiunu.specially summoned him, that
It was to let him put Du Xuanshi's green card in a conspicuous place to help this little master come out on top.

He himself is hesitant. Regarding the matter of green cards, it is better to adjust the order if there are too many cards.There are only six young masters who have entered the palace this time, and this matter itself is not easy to handle.In addition, I have been with the emperor for a long time, so I am more or less afraid of the master's methods.Eunuch Lu, who had been serving the emperor personally since he was young, and the majestic head of the imperial court, was demoted to be the imperial eunuch if he said he was demoted.It was because Eunuch Lu failed to stop Li Shunyi in time when Li Shunyi made a big noise in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Although I am an old man in the palace, my relationship with the emperor is not the same as that between Xiaoluzi and the emperor.Secretly moving the green head card and being discovered by the emperor, the consequences may be...

When the risk and return cannot be balanced, Wang Chaosheng does not intend to take risks for a concubine who is not in her early years.

Of course, he can't offend the queen.Therefore, Eunuch Wang played Tai Chi with the queen, "Don't worry, master and empress, the slave will put Xiaozhu Du's brand in the right place."

The queen smiled, "Can the emperor find the suitable position that the father-in-law said?"

Ignoring his embarrassing smile, the queen sighed to him again: "I just kindly reminded Eunuch Wang. This servant Du Xuan must be someone who can compete with Li Shunyi in the future, why don't you take advantage of her to be able to Use it in your respect room, give her a push? In the future, if she gets rich, how can she lose your benefits?"

After so many years of husband and wife, the queen still has a certain understanding of the emperor, Wang Chaosheng pondered over and over again, and still arranged the green first card according to the queen's words.

Sure enough, the emperor chose Du Xiaozhu's brand at a glance.

After today's dinner, the emperor turned over the sign, and he immediately went to the queen's palace to send the list of servants.The queen stamped the queen's seal on it and rewarded him for his hard work on errands.Now recalling the queen's eyes with deep meaning and the words "my father-in-law is really a smart man", I can't help but break out in a cold sweat.

At this time, it was only a few hours before he left the Guanju Palace of the queen, and the emperor knew that he was rewarded by the queen.Then, this master probably knows everything about him playing the green card.

Wang Chaosheng, who was kneeling on the ground, didn't dare to breathe, for fear that the emperor would take him under the knife.

I only heard the emperor laughing, "Look at how frightened you are, can I eat you?"

"Master, Sanxi Hall has been tidied up." The little eunuch came forward to reply.

"What the queen told me, we still have to do." The emperor kicked Wang Chaosheng, who was kneeling at his feet, with his toe. "Next time something like this happens again, do you know what to do?"

"If you go back to the emperor, the servant will never dare again." Wang Chaosheng kowtowed.

"Okay, just wait here. I'll give you a chance to make amends. Things have to be done tomorrow morning." The emperor took the little eunuch back to Sanxi Hall after giving orders.

"Scum!"

Just after Yin time, Shi Niang was awakened by Wang Chaosheng who was waiting outside, and after a simple grooming, she was sent back to Yaohua Palace by the palace eunuch.The little eunuch walked along the unmanned path in the palace, but he didn't meet anyone along the way.

The way into the west side hall went smoothly, Xiao Xinzi was alert, and quietly opened the side door of the side hall, and the group of people did not attract the attention of the person in the east side hall.

When Shi Niang entered the dormitory, she was surrounded by Ruo Min who had been waiting for a long time.Xiao Xinzi no longer had the foresight to send the concubine Tuo to the eunuch, and inquired about the news along the way.

The ten niangs in the hall are bathed by Ruomin in the painting.Seeing the red marks on Shi Niang's body, Ru Hua's hands froze and stopped, "Miss, the emperor... are you okay?" Shi Niang opened her eyes when she heard this, and Ru Hua's face turned red, which was due to her negligence. "It's fine if Ruo Min stays here, you go find a suitable ointment, I'll use it later." Ruhua left quietly to search for the self-made ointment they brought in.

Shi Niang wetted her loose hair, and Ruo Min also helped her scoop up water to rinse the hair oil on her hair, "Your smell must be covered as soon as possible. Go to the Queen's Palace after dawn, please be careful."

"Does Ruomin know what it is?" Shi Niang touched her hair and smelled it, the smell was already very weak.She has always been cautious, knowing that Ruo Min might have seen the hands she was moving in her hair*********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** Most of them are sweet and greasy, not so fresh and light. "

"Does Ruo Min know about benzoin? It's a spice from the west. Folk spice masters often use it when they add this fragrance, and the fragrance can last for a long time. Folk doctors also use hot water to evaporate it. , Smoked and baked for patients to treat some coughs and other diseases.”

Seeing Ruo Min looking at her in surprise, Shi Niang said with a smile, "That's right, it's what you think, I know a little bit of medical knowledge. I mixed benzoin into this bottle of pear blossom head oil when I made it. This is the first time I use it. .”

"Don't worry, little master, Ruo Min won't talk nonsense." Ruo Min interrupted Shi Niang's words and said solemnly.She's not smart, but after staying in the inner palace for so many years, it's not like she still doesn't understand this bit of knowledge.My lord, the scalp oil is mixed with drugs that can stimulate people's nerves and make people excited.

"Everyone in the world knows that benzoin has antiseptic effects, but in fact the most powerful part of this incense lies in itself. Only this effect is not known to outsiders, so it is gradually hidden and lost."

Shi Niang said to Ruo Min, "Everyone in the world says Anxi is good, but the fragrance of Anxi is not good. Pay attention to whose brand the emperor will turn over tonight."

"This is my little master?" Ruo Min asked puzzled, the first one to be flopped was his own little lord, the little lord paid so much attention to tonight, did he still expect to be flopped by the emperor?As far as she knew, only Li Shunyi was turned over for three nights in a row when she was a new attendant in this palace, and no one else had this special tolerance.

"Ruomin, I'm afraid I was plotted against last night. With my identity, I definitely won't be the first one to be flopped. It stands to reason that last night was either Liu Shuren or Nalan's waiter. I'm afraid there was someone in between. What variable we don't know about. Let Xiao Xinzi secretly find out who Eunuch Wang in the respect room had contact with when he came in."

Ruo Min was taken aback, "Why is the young master sure that it is Wang Chaosheng? He has been working in the respect room since the time of the first emperor. On weekdays, when the lady and the young master win over him, he ignores him and never does anything against the rules."

"Except for him, I can't think of anyone else. And I always feel that he looks at me with an imperceptible weirdness, as if he is looking at something rare. 'There must be a monster if something goes wrong', let's inquire first. If Really not, forget it. I just suspect, there is no evidence." After Shi Niang explained, Ruo Min nodded.

"Sometimes being too conspicuous is not necessarily a good thing. Lord Long Live doesn't want me to be in the limelight. The young eunuch just took me to a remote and uninhabited path in the palace, and I'm afraid he doesn't want other concubines to know about my stay in Dongnuange .You restrain the people in our west side hall, and don’t make mistakes.”

Ruo Min hurriedly responded, since the emperor wanted to block the news about this matter, then there should be no news about them in the west hall of Yaohua Palace, otherwise it would be a slap in the face of the emperor.

"Okay, let's not talk about these troublesome things. I will greet you in the Queen's Palace today, and Ruomin will accompany me. After all, the girl who entered the painting has just entered the palace, so it is not as good as Ruomin, who has been in the palace for many years and is familiar with the situation. I am afraid to touch her. If something happened, this girl would mess herself up instead."

After holding on and explaining to Ruomin, Shi Niang collapsed in the water exhausted.Ruo Min couldn't help worrying, "The young master is like this, I will greet the empress later, can I persevere?"

"If you can't hold on, you have to grit your teeth and bear it. I used the incense because I was worried that the emperor would think I was young, but I didn't expect the medicine to work so quickly." Ten Niang couldn't help but blush, thinking of the East Nuan Pavilion in the Hall of Mental Cultivation last night. The emperor's bravery made him feel tired enough.

Ruo Min served Ten Niang quickly, and the master and servant quietly washed and washed without mentioning it.

Guanju Palace, inner hall.The queen sat on the soft couch, staring at the will in her hand in a daze.Only her nanny, Hu Shi, was left by her side.

Is this man crazy?Was it wrong to stimulate him yesterday?The queen met her nurse's concerned eyes, and her heart warmed up, "Don't worry, mother, I'm fine. I'm just a little distressed, how can I touch the emperor's bad luck."

"Your Majesty, it's not the old slave who said you. The emperor often comes to Guanju Palace. You always push him away and recommend someone to him whenever you have a chance. You haven't had any heirs for so many years. What will you do in the future?"

Grandma Hu raised the queen, and when the queen entered the palace, she abandoned her family and followed her into the palace.For the child she raised, Hu Nanny felt distressed.The queen also looked bright on the surface, but she was not living happily.Just the fact that she has no children can make the empress dowager treat her like a thorn in her flesh, not to mention that the empress dowager is still thinking about the emperor and helping the emperor to stop the Xiao family from continuing to grow.

The queen's own situation is not optimistic. These years, she is still willing to take care of the new ladies who have entered the palace. Except for the daughters of the aristocratic family, the other beautiful girls have received the queen's favor.But those little hooves, one by one, forgot about the promotion of the empress when they had favor.Intuit is hateful!
"You are already busy enough, and you are still thinking about these new girls. The old slave knows your plan, but why do you want to do it through the respect room?" Hu Momo looked at the queen With an embarrassed look, he couldn't help but feel distressed.

"Don't you understand? Don't we do enough to recommend people to the emperor in Guanju Palace? It's not that they forgot their roots, but the emperor doesn't want me to have too much power to control his harem. The harem has never Involvement, he was afraid that the Xiao family would become the second Ouyang family. Have you forgotten the tragedy of the abolished empress? If I have a child in this palace, I am afraid that the end will be the same as that of the abolished empress. Don't talk about this in the future. The emperor's The children are all the children of this palace." The queen said seriously.

Seeing how worried the mother was about her future, she comforted her, "There is no child in the palace. Among the newcomers, the palace and the emperor are optimistic about that one, but she is too young. Days the emperor is concerned about the court, just forget about it; if he thinks about it, he will worry about her young age, so he will turn over other beautiful girls first. It is useless for Liu and Nalan to win the first place, and it will add chaos to the palace. Let us borrow Hold the hands of the emperor and Wang Chaosheng, and catch them off guard before planning the next step."

The queen expressed her concerns, which were also Shi Niang's concerns, so Shi Niang took the risk and used such methods.

"As for Wang Chaosheng, I really think that I don't know his nature. I just want the emperor to know that his respect room is not a clean place. At the same time, I also told him that I will cooperate with any arrangements he makes for Mrs. Du. He It is also necessary to give Ben Gong some benefits at the right time."

The queen breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "No matter how well I cooperate, I can't follow him around. If this title enters the harem, not only will people's hearts be disturbed, I'm afraid the empress dowager will not let him go first."

The queen spread out the will in her hand and showed it to Nanny Hu. The creases on the old mommy's face seemed to be straightened all of a sudden because of the fright, and she looked strangely festive.

"'Yaohua Palace chose Duan, Duanshu Roujia, as a sixth-rank lady, and gave you the word "Jia"'. 'Jia', the master's lady, there is 'Jia' in your majesty's year name!"
