Biography of Concubine Shujia

Chapter 63

Guanju Palace, inner hall.

"Mother, the emperor came out of the Hall of Mental Cultivation and went to Jia Shunhua's place in the Yaohua Palace." Madam Hu said to the queen who was reading under the lamp, "This good master is too domineering, the emperor is already attached to her palace. It’s been almost ten days since I stayed here.”

"Where the emperor falls in love, I have nothing to do with it." The queen turned the page without raising her head, and continued to read, this time the emperor sent someone to search for the travel notes, which was good.Tomorrow, I have to praise the person who found the book for her, it is much more interesting than the book I found before.

"Your Majesty!" Madam Hu anxiously said, "Look at the sour smell when the concubines in the palace greet you these few days, it almost stinks our Guanju Palace."

"I know it well." The queen raised her head from the travel notes, "Nurse, it's not our Guanju Palace, nor our Guanju Palace that should be anxious. Just remember, anyone in this harem can be jealous, only The Queen can't."

After the queen finished speaking seriously, she buried her head in reading the travel notes again, while Nanny Hu was muttering.

"This old slave knows that you don't care to be as knowledgeable as those concubines. But Master Jia has indeed passed this time. The Empress Dowager is really upset. Didn't you suffer for them?"

"Empress Dowager, huh. When did you stop making trouble for me? It's really useless to ask me to say that the eldest princess has no fun for the Empress Dowager and her old man." The queen said indifferently when she heard the words.

"I heard that the queen mother wants to keep the eldest princess for a few more years." Madam Hu thought of the news spreading in the palace, "It is said that the eldest princess is kind and filial, and the queen mother is reluctant to bear the princess, so she wants to keep the eldest princess after she is 15 years old. .”

"How can the queen mother be reluctant to part with the eldest princess? I'm afraid there is no suitable person in the Xiao family who can marry the eldest princess?" The queen thought about the men of the next generation of the Xiao family. His youngest son is not suitable for his age.On the contrary, among Uncle Tang's grandsons, there are some who are about the same age as the Eldest Princess. I'm afraid the Empress Dowager still doesn't like his official position.

"Brother Sang is only over 7 years old this year, much younger than the eldest princess, maybe almost four years old, my great aunt really dares to think about it!"

"The Empress Dowager wants our thirteenth son to marry the eldest princess?" Mammy Hu also laughed after being surprised, "Isn't that possible? Our youngest son will be married five or six years at the earliest, and the eldest princess will be eleven this year. Forget it Come on, the thirteenth son is just right for our second princess."

"No, the second princess, like the eldest princess, is inextricably related to the women of the Xiao family. The emperor will not agree. And does the mother really think that the princess is a good thing?" The queen asked back.

"That's true, the thirteenth son is not as good as the princess." The mother quickly shook her head when she thought of the princess's ostentation.

"Eldest princess, the empress dowager is probably considering her age, so she made rumors that she will stay with her for a few more years." The queen continued to read her travel notes.

"Then is it necessary to send news to the family?" Madam Hu thought of the Queen Mother's stubbornness, "It's better for the young master to prepare early."

"No, the marriage has to be approved by the emperor. The emperor finally relied on me, grandfather and the three of them to suppress our family's power, and won't let the Xiao family become a son-in-law again."

"You think so, but what happened to the spiritual selection last time?" Madam Hu was a little angry when she thought of the Xiao family who sent Miss Biao into the palace behind her master's back.

"That idiot, that uncle's family was bewitched by the queen mother." The queen couldn't help but feel a headache when she thought of the spiritual selection attendant, "Afterwards, the grandfather had already come forward to beat the uncle himself. I just wondered how the aunt raised her daughter. What's the matter?" He came into the palace to help the Xiao family, so he is obviously helping the family to collect debts."

"My lady, you can think about it. If the empress dowager can send someone off once, she can think of a second way. Isn't the news of the eldest princess' marriage the best proof?"

"What Mammy said is not unreasonable, then pass a message to the family. Let them make early plans for Thirteen Boys, and keep their actions secret."

"The old slave knows, master rest assured."

"Mother, tell me, at the age of the Empress Dowager, it would be nice to raise flowers and tease dogs in her palace to talk to her children and grandchildren. If you have to worry too much, it will make the emperor unhappy, and the palace will follow suit. Why bother?" the queen said with emotion. .

"Since she loves her children and grandchildren so much and loves to worry about them, starting tomorrow, let the second princess bring the princesses who belonged to her to go to her palace to talk with her every day."

"Mother, there are only two princesses in the princess house, the second princess and Lan Chongrong's third princess." Madam Hu couldn't laugh or cry.

"Oh, the princesses from the fourth year are still living with their concubines." The queen rubbed her forehead, "Then let the concubines who have children take the children to pay their respects to the empress dowager and her elders."

"What about you?"

"Bengong? I accidentally contracted the cold, so I can't go." The queen stretched her waist, "Bengong is complaining about her body, so let Mrs. Du come to Guanju Palace to serve the illness, and it will save her going to the empress dowager's place. The queen mother took the opportunity to reprimand her."

"Your Majesty, it's really time for your illness!" Madam Hu sighed.

"Otherwise, why don't you take Mrs. Du to the court to plead guilty?" The Queen said, "It's not just once or twice that the Empress Dowager loves to pick on your master, me. Mrs. Du, she didn't like it from the beginning."

"I hope Jiashunhua can understand your good intentions."

"It doesn't matter if you understand it or not, it's better to have a clear heart than anything else."

Linzhi Palace, the east side hall.

"Sister, this Du Shi is really hateful. She has occupied the emperor for ten days." Shun Shu complained to Xi Fangyi and Liu Shi.

"My sister told me that there is nothing I can do. The queen and empress don't care about the matter. How can I dare to take care of her fourth-rank Jia Shunhua's affairs with a small Zhengyi of the fifth rank in this palace? It's her turn Don't talk too much until this palace."

"Then let's just watch that fox charmer charm the emperor?" Xiao Liu was a little impatient.

When she first entered the palace, she had the highest rank among the servants and was the most favored.Unexpectedly, after the little Nalan clan lost power, the Du clan rose rapidly, relying on his favor and heirs, surpassed himself to get a high position, and even overwhelmed his cousin Xi Fangyi and Hefenyi Nalan clan.

"Sister, don't worry. I have tried my best to sow discord between her and the other concubines at the four princess banquet. As for the result, I can't see it for the time being. Let's wait and see."

"Ms. Du made her sister embarrassing that day, and she will help her sister to return it to her in the future. The daughter of a small official man, who was admitted to the palace with my sister and me, has climbed from a small servant to a fourth-rank Shunhua. I don't know what trick she used to seduce the emperor in private."

"Our sisters are not as skilled as others, so we can only bear it. Mrs. Du really has the ability, female workers, talents, appearance, cooking skills, everything is good. Even the family background that my sister looks down upon, they are better than ours. It will take a long time."

"Just how poor is their Du family? How can it compare to our Liu family's great achievements."

"Our family has risen too fast. After all, the foundation is a bit unstable, otherwise we wouldn't have sent our sisters into the palace one after another. The Du family's six generations of hereditary titles, all the male members of the family are up to the task. Their family has become famous in the past few years. A close minister of the Son of Heaven, the salt transport envoy of Nanluo."

"Didn't you hear that the salt transport envoy disappeared in Fengyang last time, and the emperor was furious because of his failure to do things?"

"My silly sister. Your majesty is worried about the safety of the salt tax and the salt transportation envoy! The Du family will rise up, so it is not suitable for us to confront the Du family."

"If you can't provoke her, don't provoke her. I'll listen to my sister." Xiao Liu said, "Then, we really have nothing to do with her?"

"We don't show up, but some people want to show up." Mrs. Liu smiled in the direction of the main hall, "Can't that one sit still?"

"But, she goes to trouble the queen every day, and the queen doesn't seem to care about her."

"The queen doesn't care, there is always someone who can take care of it. It seems that I have to wake her up tomorrow, so don't waste a great opportunity."

"Sister, you mean, Empress Dowager?" Xiaoliu's reaction came back, "Our empress dowager does not please the empress and empress dowager, can the empress dowager believe her words?"

"You don't need her to go in person, she just asks the people the Queen Mother wants to see to go. My sister thinks about it, it wasn't just De Shuyi who made things difficult for Mrs. Du at the banquet that day, the one with De Shuyi, But she is very much favored by the queen mother."

"My sister has a good strategy, so we can divert the trouble from the east, sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and watch the good show with the bamboo stick." Xiaoliu's eyes lit up, "My sister admires it."

"It's only because of my younger sister to figure out a way together that I can come up with a good idea so quickly."

"By the way, sister, that Chang Zai who spoke out to help Mrs. Du that day, do you want my sister to find someone to take her away..."

"You mean that Xin Chang, who has no sense of existence?" Liu shook her head, "Keep her, this kind of person can be used by us instead."

"Understood, I will arrange time for our people to test it out first, to see if there is anyone else manipulating her behind her. If her net worth is clean, it can be used."

Yaohua Palace, West Hall, bedroom.

"Yao'er and Jinghan are asleep?" The emperor leaned on the bedside and flipped through Shi Niang's books.

"Coaxed to sleep, after a day of tossing around, it can be regarded as clean." Ten Niang replied while brushing her hair.

"Yao'er is very smart, I can see that he can eat with a spoon by himself. Girl, you taught him well. Boys, you should teach them strictly."

"The concubine knows that. The princess can be rich and well-clothed. After all, the prince bears the heavy burden of sharing the worries of the emperor. The concubine will not let him be as delicate as the princess, like a delicate flower in a greenhouse."

"Puff." The emperor couldn't hold back his laughter, looked up at Ten Niang, who was seriously defending herself in the makeup-removing mirror, and asked in a low voice, "Delicate?"

"Your Majesty!" The person in the mirror had a blush on his face.

"I think our Jinghan is exactly like her aunt, bold and strong-tempered. How can there be a little girl's fragility?"

"Empress Empress and Empress Shuyi are right, the emperor is used to making fun of people!" Shi Niang turned around, angrily facing the emperor.

With her hair loose, she smiled when she saw the emperor looking at her with great interest.Then he reached out and took off his coat, casually put on
On the small screen on one side, he walked to the bed in only his unlined clothes.

He stretched out his hand to take away the book still held in the emperor's hand, and took the emperor's hand, "The emperor doesn't think it's enough to read the booklets during the day, but now he's just reading the words of his ministers and concubines. Doesn't it hurt your eyes?"

As he spoke, he gently licked the emperor's eyelids with the tip of his tongue.

The eyelids were itchy from her wet tongue, the emperor pulled her forward and fell into his arms with a clever move.

He freed up a hand and squeezed the soft flesh around her waist, "Naughty ghost!"

"Oh, the emperor forgives the sin, but the concubine dare not." The itchy flesh on the waist was scratched and pinched by the emperor, and Shi Niang smiled and begged for mercy, "Let go, itchy."

"Let you fool around again, you ghost girl." Threatening, the big hand left her waist and slowly slid up along her tailbone.

The emperor put his arms around her, and gently stroked her back and forth with the other.

Ten Niang understood, and leaned back slightly, "Sixth brother, do you want to have supper, and have someone serve you some pear soup?" Then whispered,
"Ten Niang is going to take a bath, she will be back later."

The emperor didn't move, and buried his head in Shi Niang's neck, his nose sniffed deeply behind Shi Niang's neck, "It's delicious! My concubine is already very fragrant." Shi Niang was shuddered by his breathing while speaking .

Slightly pushed the emperor away, wanting to get up and take a bath.As soon as he straightened up, he was hugged by the emperor again.This time the emperor sat her on his lap, touched her head with his hand, and then slid his hand down to the forehead of Shi Niang.

He brushed away the broken hair in front of her eyes and put it behind her ears.Then, the emperor lowered his head and kissed her earlobe.

Ten Niang, who was gently bitten by the ear of the emperor, panted slightly, "Sixth brother!"

"Place it down." The emperor's voice was hoarse, with a charming deep voice.

"Can the concubine say no?" Ten Niang pushed the emperor away, raised her eyes and asked provocatively.

"What about Concubine Ai?" The emperor laughed in a low voice, his slightly narrowed peach blossom eyes had a different kind of deepness, "Later, how about I personally take care of Empress Shunhua to take a bath?"
