The same night, in Dai Jia's eyes, it was difficult to fall asleep. The words Shu Mulu said before appeared over and over again in her mind. She was so angry that she had no use for two meals at noon and evening. She lay on the bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
No hint of sleepiness.
Shu Mulu went too far, relying on the emperor's favor to treat her here and there. She didn't even exist as a concubine in his eyes. But this was not the most irritating thing. The most irritating thing was that he was the master of Jingren Palace.
She is a queen, but there is nothing she can do about it, and she is allowed to bully her to her death.
From the rise of the moon to the fall of the moon, she did not feel sleepy at all. She kept her eyes open until dawn. The result of a night of sleepless nights was that her whole body was weak and weak. She finally got up. While she was still washing, someone from the palace came to report that Mr. Shumulu was here.
Yes, waiting outside.
Upon hearing this name, Dai Jia was furious. She put the comb in her hand heavily on the dressing table and said coldly: "What is she here for?"
Sensing her anger, the palace servant lowered his head and said nervously: "Honorable Hui said he came to pay his respects to the empress."
Dai Jiashi sneered and said: "How can she be so kind? According to me, she came here to cause trouble for me." Having said that, she was still afraid that if she drove her back directly, Shumulu would go to Yinzhen.
The gossip said helplessly: "Let her come in."
The palace man quickly exited, and after a while, the figure that made Dai Jia extremely annoying appeared in his sight.
Mr. Shu Mulu looked quite good. He crossed the threshold with his hand like a willow hand, nodded to Mr. Dai Jia who was still sitting in the chair and said, "Good luck to you, your Majesty."
Dai Jiashi glanced at her and said bitterly: "Is this how Hui Gui learned the rules? He didn't even bend his knees when saluting?"
Today, Mr. Shumulu held a handful of six-sided double-sided embroidery. When he heard what Dai Jia said, he raised his sleeves to cover his lips and said with a smile: "When it's time to bend, I will naturally bend.
But it seems that you don’t need to bend your knees to the empress.”
"What did you say?" Mrs. Dai Jia had tried her best to suppress her temper, but Mrs. Shumulu still easily provoked her, "I have a higher status than you, so don't speak too presumptuously.
"
"Really? I don't think so at all." Following these words, Shu Mulu sat down in the chair. "Compared to what the empress has done, I feel that I already respect the empress very much."
"This is really the funniest joke I have ever heard." After saying this, Dai Jia stood up and said: "I am too lazy to beat around the bush with you. Tell me, why did you come to see me early in the morning?
?”
Shu Mulu smiled slightly, played with the fan and said, "It's nothing. I remembered that when the empress left yesterday, she seemed very unhappy, so I wanted to come and see if the empress was in a better mood." After that, she looked at Dai Jia and said.
: "It looks like your face is sallow and your eyes are dark. She didn't seem to sleep well last night!"
"Whether I have slept well or not has nothing to do with you." Dai Jia replied stiffly, and then said: "I still have to dress up. If Hui Gui has nothing else to do, please come back."
Shu Mulu pretended to be sad and said: "Why did the empress drive me away like this? I want to talk to the empress for a while. By the way, I have put some dried flower petals in a silk bag and put them next to the pillow in the past few days.
Smelling the fragrance of flowers when going to bed, feeling
She slept very soundly, so I brought some specially to my wife, which can help her sleep well." As she said that, she took a few purple silk bags from Ru Liu's hand and passed them through the silk as thin as cicada's wings.
You can see the dried flowers inside the silk.
"I don't need your company, let alone your things." Dai Jia's patience is almost exhausted. She really doesn't want to see this face again. As for her things, who knows if they are poisonous.
As if seeing through her thoughts, Mrs. Shumulu put the silk bag on the small table and said: "It seems that the empress does not want to see my concubine."
"Asking knowingly." Dai Jiashi snorted and raised her chin and ignored it. She believed that Shumulu would leave as soon as she felt bored.
But it was a pity that she was wrong this time, and Mr. Shumulu was still sitting comfortably in the chair as if nothing had happened, with no intention of leaving at all.
In this silent contest, Dai Jia couldn't help but speak first: "How long do you plan to sit down, Mr. Hui? Do you still want me to treat you to breakfast?"
Shu Mulu said with a smile: "When the empress said this, I remembered that I just came to see the empress and didn't really use breakfast, so I would not be polite to disturb the empress for breakfast."
"You!" Mrs. Dai Jia didn't expect that she was so shameless and shameless. Just as she was about to refuse, Mrs. Shu Mulu said with a full smile: "Isn't it true that the queen is reluctant to part with a breakfast? If so, then I am also the concubine.
Don't force me, I happen to want to see if the emperor is in court, so I will leave first." After that, he pretended to get up.
"Wait a minute." She knew clearly that Mrs. Shumulus was trying to threaten her, but Mrs. Dai Jia did not dare to take the risk. She was not as blessed as Concubine Xi, and she did not have six elder brothers by her side.
She had nothing, and the reason why she was able to sit in this position was just because of her decades of experience as a chauffeur. If she was not good enough, she would lose everything. That was why she could swallow her humiliation in front of the Shumulus family.
Mrs. Shumulu pretended to be puzzled and said: "Do you have anything else to say to me, my concubine?"
Dai Jia held her sleeves tightly and forced herself to say: "If noble Hui doesn't mind, please have breakfast with me."
"Is the empress willing to give up?" Mrs. Shumulu could imagine how angry and unwilling Dai Jia was, but this level was far from what she expected, and it was not enough for Dai Jia to go to Concubine Xi.
Cry.
Dai Jia gave an ugly smile and said, "I have never said that you are reluctant to leave. It's because Hui Gui has overthought it. Hui Gui will go to the side hall to wait for a while. I will come later."
This time, Mrs. Shumulu didn't bother much, nodded and walked out, making Mrs. Dai Jia let out a sigh of relief. She just hoped that after breakfast, this damn plaguer would leave early. See
After a long time, she was really afraid that her eyes would bleed.
In the side hall, the palace people were already laying out breakfast, including bird's nest porridge, four-color side dishes, and five or six plates of snacks. When the palace people saw Shu Mulu coming, they all knelt down to say hello. No one in the harem would look down upon this person.
Noble person.
Before Mrs. Dai Jia came over, Ruliu whispered: "Master, I saw that the concubine looked very angry just now."
Shu Mulu smiled indifferently and said: "The angrier she is, the better. Otherwise, how can I force her to find Concubine Xi, and how can I make her take the blame? Don't worry, everything is under my control."
