Let us say that after leaving Kunning Palace, Shu Mulu returned all the way to Jingren Palace. Now the Jingren Palace no longer has the main empress, only she and the Wu family are left to live. When passing by the empty main hall,
Shumulu's footsteps paused, light flashed in his eyes, and Ruliu said knowingly: "I believe that my master will one day sit in this main hall and be worshiped by others."
Shu Mulu smiled sweetly and said: "I know, I'm just thinking about how long it will take until this day. Speaking of God, it's really unfair. A fool like Dai Jia can sit on the throne, but I'm just a noble person.
But it doesn’t matter, noble people are just passing through, not the destination.”
Ru Liu glanced at no one around, and whispered: "Master really intends to join forces with Concubine Qian to deal with Concubine Xi? I am afraid that the Queen has ill intentions."
"I know, but this time she told the truth. It's really difficult for me to deal with Concubine Xi on my own." At this point, Shu Mululu shook his head slightly, obviously struggling in his heart. It was the other person who wanted to join forces.
No one other than the Liu family would make her struggle like this.
"But even if Master goes, Concubine Qian may not be willing to agree. Then it will not be in vain." Ru Liu never agreed with this matter. "And doing this would be too unfair to Master. I have not forgotten Concubine Qian."
How did you harm the master?"
Mr. Shumulu looked at the palace with rolled eaves from a distance and said: "Silly girl, in this harem, do you think I have the right to feel aggrieved? If you want to survive in this harem of intrigues, you must be able to tolerate what others do."
No. But
...I have no intention of doing what the Queen wants now." Looking back, she saw Ruliu looking at her with a puzzled expression. She smiled and said, "I want to test Concubine Xi's weight in the Emperor's heart, whether it is really important.
To the point of asking me to join forces with the enemy."
Ru Liu frowned and said: "This slave does not understand what the master means. Didn't the master just say that it would be difficult to deal with Concubine Xi with your own strength?"
"It's hard to deal with, but it doesn't mean it's impossible to deal with. Have you forgotten what I asked the Queen just now?" Shu Mulu's words made Ruliu think for a while, and after a while he suddenly said: "Master, are you talking about Dr. Xu?"
Shu Mulu neither nodded nor shook her head. When she was about to reach Shui Yixuan, she suddenly said: "Ru Liu, the one who brought Imperial Physician Xu here last night was Yang Hai from Concubine Xi's side, right?"
Ru Liu nodded and didn't understand the purpose of her sudden question. She only heard Shu Mulu say again: "The Imperial Physician Xu said that he is an Imperial Physician, but he no longer works in the Imperial Hospital. He is not a member of the palace. If you want to introduce such a person to the palace,
There must be the emperor's will, whether it's verbal,
Regardless of the imperial edict, it only takes the emperor's nod. According to common sense, it should be someone close to the emperor who invites Imperial Physician Xu, such as Eunuch Su and Eunuch Xi. Both of them were present at the time. What was the result? Neither of them.
Don’t you think it’s strange?”
Ru Liu thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps the two father-in-laws didn't know where Imperial Doctor Xu lived, and Concubine Xi had an old acquaintance with Imperial Doctor Xu, so they sent the people around her there."
"This is one of the possibilities, but it is by no means the only possibility. I always feel that this matter is a bit strange." After walking for a while, Shu Mululu suddenly said: "You can go see Eunuch Su later and ask him to come over when he has time.
, I just said that I just got a painting by Mi Pei and asked him to come over and appreciate it together."
Ruliu exclaimed "Ah" and immediately covered her mouth. After confirming that no one was paying attention to them, she whispered: "Master, do you want to give the original Mi Pei painting to Eunuch Su?"
Mr. Shumulu glanced at her and said with a half-smile, "What's the matter? You don't want to let go?"
"Things belong to the master. It's my turn to say that I don't want to part with them. It's just that I think that my master, you just gave a painting of Tang Bohu to Eunuch Su, and now in just a few days, you plan to give him two paintings of calligraphy by Mi Pei."
The calligraphy and paintings are all worth more than a thousand pieces of gold, and the emperor only rewarded the master with two of them. You turned around and gave them to Eunuch Su. Wouldn't it be too wasteful?"
Shu Mulu fiddled with the glass pendant under her ear and said, "Do you think these calligraphy and paintings are more important, or the emperor's favor?"
"Of course the emperor's favor is more important." Regarding this answer, Ru Liu had no hesitation. As long as he has the emperor's favor, he can have as many calligraphy and paintings as he wants.
"Since you understand this truth, you should understand my intention of doing this. Su Peisheng is the emperor's personal eunuch. He can speak a few words in front of the emperor. If I can win him over, it will be of great help to me." Jian Ru.
Liu Huan frowned, and she added: "I heard that when Concubine Xi interceded for Sanfu and Jade, and asked the emperor to allow them to marry as husband and wife, Sixi was there
The people next to me helped and said a lot, otherwise it would be impossible for Concubine Xi to get what she wanted so easily, so you must not underestimate them. At the critical moment, they can even save lives. Since Su Peisheng was willing to accept the painting last time, it means that
He can be used by us. In this case, we naturally have to step up our efforts to win over him. As long as we can get him on our side, a few calligraphy and paintings mean nothing."
Ru Liuruo said with enlightenment: "My slave understands, as the saying goes, if you don't want to let go of the child, you can't trap the wolf. Eunuch Su is the wolf now. As long as you trap him, the master will have someone to speak to in front of the emperor."
"Yes, calligraphy and painting are just external things that are used to be elegant. It's good to have them, but it's not a loss to me if you don't have them." After saying this, Mr. Shumulus smiled and glanced at Ruliu who couldn't help nodding, and said: "
Now that you understand it, why not hurry up and go."
This time, Ruliu didn't hesitate anymore and left as instructed. Half an hour later, she and Su Peisheng came in one after another, "Master, Eunuch Su is here to say hello to you."
As soon as Ruliu finished speaking, Su Peisheng stepped forward and said with a smile on his face: "Slave Su Peisheng pays his respects to Mr. Hui, and may Mr. Hui be blessed." After receiving the painting, Su Peisheng's attitude towards Mr. Shu Mulu became even worse.
I was much more polite before.
Mrs. Shumulu put down the red date tea in her hand and said with a smile: "Eunuch Su, please get up quickly. I'm really sorry for asking you to come all the way. Ru Liu, why don't you show me your seat to Eunuch Su."
"Mr. Hui Gui is so polite, I am really flattered." Although I knew that Shu Mulu's remarks were just for the occasion, it was still quite comfortable to hear.
After Su Peisheng half-sat in the chair with his body slanted, she ordered someone to hand a scroll to Su Peisheng and said, "Eunuch Su, how about taking a look at this calligraphy?"
Su Peisheng happily took it. Although he already knew it was Mi Fu's calligraphy, when he saw it with his own eyes, he couldn't help being surprised and said in amazement: "My lord, isn't this Mi Fu's "Yanshan Inscription"? This painting
The calligraphy is a masterpiece among Mi Fu's calligraphy, far beyond the comparison with his earlier calligraphy."
