When Brother Jiu opened the curtain and came in, this was what he saw.

Shu Shu was half leaning on the pillow, holding needle and thread in her hand.

In the back is the black girl rubbing her shoulders, and in the front is Xiao Chun sitting by the kang, also doing needlework.

Hearing the movement at the door, the master and servant all looked over.

Xiaochun and Xiaosong stood up immediately and stood respectfully beside them.

Shu Shu also put down her needle and thread, looked outside, and said, "Time flies so fast."

Brother Jiu didn't say anything, but also sat by the kang, looking straight at Shu Shu.

Shu Shu couldn't help but smile, turned her head and said, "Are you looking at my hair?"

Only then did Brother Ninth's eyes fall on Shu Shu's head, which was different from the one at noon. She had a new hairstyle.

A small braid as thick as a little finger was tied directly to the center of the head, and then braided again and let down.

It seems that the male and female are indisputable.

Because Shu Shu asked people to restore Baoyu's braided head.

There is no other jewelry on it, just four small pearl flowers arranged on the braid at the back.

This set of jewelry was part of her dowry. In the middle was a pearl the size of a thumb cap, with a circle of small beads inlaid on the side. The bottom was made of silver instead of gold.

It looks plain, so it can be used on weekdays, and can also be worn when you need to wear plain clothes.

When practicing Baduanjin in the afternoon, her hair was a little loose, so Shu Shu washed her hair directly.

When her hair was dry, she remembered this hairstyle and asked Xiao Chun to restore it.

Thinking of this, she looked at Brother Jiu and glanced at his bare forehead with some regret.

If it hadn't been for this fatal hair shape, she would have been able to change her hairstyle with Brother Jiu.

The two masters looked at each other, Xiaochun winked at Xiaosong, and the two retreated silently.

Brother Jiu looked back at the empty door, his face drooped, and he hummed softly: "Are you hiding something from me?"

Shu Shu had doubts on his face and said, "No, why did you say that?"

The eldest one kept it secret, and the younger one also hid it a lot, but when we were living at home, we were more honest.

Brother Ninth stretched out his hand and pinched her face, saying: "Hmph! You're still pretending to be with me, and I'm wondering what you did to think of Zhang Concubine's mother for no reason. Thirteenth brother lives next to me, and I didn't see you asking.

one time……"

Zhang Bin is an elder and lives in the inner court. Apart from a few encounters during the northern patrol last year, she has no other friendship with her.

Shu Shu blinked and realized that the words were wrong and said, "What's wrong with Concubine Zhang?"

Brother Jiu raised his eyebrows and said: "Don't you understand in your heart? Why are you pretending to be confused with me? I am not someone else. If there is anything you can't tell me directly, you have to go around in circles!"

Shu Shu's face became more and more confused and said: "Why am I pretending to be confused? What on earth are you going to say?"

Brother Jiu couldn't hold it any longer. He glanced at Shu Shu again and said, "You really don't know?"

Shu Shu rolled her eyes at him and said, "What do you say?"

Brother Jiu was a little confused and said: "Then how can you tell me so accurately? You just said yesterday that you thought of Zhang's mother and were worried about the wind in the back palace, but today she is sick?"

Shu Shu was stunned.

Are you sick now?

She asked with worry: "Is it... a serious illness? How do you know this?"

After hearing her question, Brother Jiu also realized that something was wrong.

Zhang Concubine lives in the back hall of Changchun Palace, why did Yanxi Palace hire an imperial doctor?!

Zhang Concubine is not a noble person. Who else should she report to before she can hire an imperial doctor?

Brother Jiu expressed his doubts and said: "I first heard that Yanxi Palace invited the imperial doctor, and they invited two waves in a row. In addition to those on duty in the palace, they also invited the imperial doctor from the Imperial Hospital. I think

I saw my concubine in the morning and she looked refreshed. I was worried that it was Lady Dai Jia, so I sent He Yuzhu to inquire, but she said it was Zhang Bin..."

At that time, he was surprised at how his wife spoke so eloquently, but he did not remember what was wrong with it.

He touched his chin and guessed: "Could it be that Concubine Duan was causing trouble and forbid Changchun Palace to invite the imperial doctor? Concubine Zhang had no choice but to go to Yanxi Palace for help because it was not convenient for our concubine?"

By chance, he guessed pretty well.

Shu Shu thought about Zhang Concubine's illness and said, "Now that the imperial doctor has looked at it, how is Concubine Zhang's condition?"

This is a matter of life and death for Zhang Bin.

Although it is said that after more than 20 years, "mother is more valuable than child", she will be posthumously named imperial concubine and buried in the imperial mausoleum, but it would be pitiful to wither in her thirties.

Brother Jiu said: "Concubine Hui's mother said it's nothing serious, so I don't have to worry. She will send someone to Changchun Garden to report the matter."

Shu Shu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

Hope this is a turning point.

Even though in the past six months, nobles Wang and Guarjia had come from behind and enjoyed the most glory, Zhang Bin, the former favorite concubine, actually felt that her favor was gradually diminishing. However, Kangxi's nostalgia for the past and knowing that Zhang Bin was ill would still ask people to take good care of her.

of.

After all, in his eyes, in addition to pampering, there are two types of female consorts in the harem: those who have given birth to princes and daughters, and those who have not given birth or who have given birth but have not raised them.

Seeing Shu Shu's expression, he really knew this.

Brother Jiu also breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I've been feeling uncomfortable all night. I thought you knew the inside story. Instead of telling me directly, you went around in circles!"

Shu Shu grabbed a handful on his waist and gritted her teeth: "Next time, if you ask me this question without a clue, I will be angry!"

Brother Jiu grabbed her hand and grumbled: "Isn't that because you are too smart and will dislike me for being stupid? If you care about me, you will be confused..."

Shu Shu frowned and fell silent.

Brother Jiu was a little nervous and said, "Are you really angry? I didn't say anything else. I was just afraid that you wouldn't tell me directly if you had something to do."

Shu Shu thought of herself and Brother Jiu, Ke Xiaoshu. Ke Xiaojiu's physiques meant that he had to take precautions, and fell into deep thought.

Brother Jiu became more and more uneasy and said: "What are you thinking about? But we agreed that we won't settle the previous accounts!"

Shu Shu shook his head gently, looked at Brother Jiu with a serious look on his face, and said, "Have you noticed that a lot of things have happened this year?"

It was more turbulent than her previous sixteen years.

Brother Jiu thought for a while and said: "It seems that I am not idle. The days are passing so fast, and things are happening one after another!"

Shu Shu looked at him, considered it, and said: "So, it's not me who discovered anything, but it's because I also have friends. Why do you like to stir up trouble? When I was at home before, I was quiet for more than ten years.

, I have never seen so much in this year..."

"ah?"

Brother Jiu didn't expect such a conclusion. He pointed at himself and said doubtfully: "I'm from my side, and it's my fault?! 9."

Shu Shu did not nod, but shook her head and said: "It's not right or unfair to say this. Some things are caused by oneself, such as the incident with Grandma Liu when I got married last year..."

"Also, we followed the northern patrol and found something wrong with the palace."

"Brothers got into a group fight, and Sanbeile lost the county king..."

"Following back are the thirteenth and fourteenth elder brothers, move over to the fourth house."

"In the first month of the year, I took me back to Ning and found out about my uncle."

"After the southern inspection tour, the Taihu Stone Field revealed that the officials in the army were exploiting the local area..."

These piles of things are kept idle almost every month.

Brother Jiu listened to her as if she was counting her family treasures, and actually thought it made sense.

It seems that things happen to him all the time, and whoever confronts him will be unlucky.

What does this mean?

Is it someone else?

No, no, you can’t say that!

Because he has good luck, everyone who opposes him is unlucky?!

The legendary man of great luck?!

Immediately, he came to his senses, looked at Shu Shu, and said, "That's not right, we are always together. If Fang Ren is also Fang Fang, why does it become my fault alone?"

Shu Shu hesitated for a moment and said, "That's considered mine. Anyway, my life was pretty ordinary for the sixteen years before I entered the palace."

After hearing this, Brother Jiu felt a little confused. He hesitated and said, "Do you regret it?"

Shu Shu took out her hand, rolled her eyes at him, and said: "As long as you are here, it will be lively. No matter how you spend it, it will be a day."

Speaking of this, she pointed to the notes on the desk: "I wrote them all down. I was just afraid that there would be any taboos in the palace, so I didn't mention anything involving the emperor and the palace."

Brother Jiu followed her hand and recalled the note that Shu Shu loved to remember.

He felt guilty: "It's all me who has caused trouble for you."
