After singing the song "Save Mother", the Empress Dowager asked the Empress Dowager to personally send the Empress Dowager Wu Ya back to the Changchun Immortal Pavilion. There were only three Borzijit clan left in the Wanfang Anhe Palace.
Concubine Xuan waved a round fan in her hand, "Why is the Queen Mother so anxious? No matter what the emperor does, she won't kill Yunqi! She will only make the emperor unhappy if she delivers the news under his eyes. This is
Why bother?"
The Empress Dowager sighed, "As I age, the more I live, the more I get back."
After saying that, the Empress Dowager looked at Concubine Jin, who was as quiet as water beside her, and couldn't help but smile: "You are quite quiet today."
Concubine Jin was quite at ease at this time, "How dare I interfere in such a big matter?"
The Queen Mother couldn't help but snorted, "I've never seen you so well-behaved before!"
Jin Bin was stunned, and her heart trembled. Did the Empress Dowager know something?
Concubine Xuan didn't know why for a while, "Mother Empress, Saren has always been well-behaved and sensible."
The Empress Dowager's old face sank, and she asked coldly: "Did you make a mistake in the matter of Qi Guiren before?"
Concubine Jin was startled and quickly knelt down: "The Empress Dowager clearly knows that those are all slanders from noble Qi! I am unjustly accused!"
The Empress Dowager rubbed her tired forehead, "You don't have to act like this in front of the Ai family! The emperor has already told the Ai family a few days ago!"
Concubine Jin bit her lip, and said aggrievedly with tears in her eyes: "The emperor must have believed the words of Mr. Qi, so he gradually neglected me..."
The Empress Dowager was a little angry: "You don't have to pretend to be wronged in front of the Ai family! The Ai family told you when you entered the palace that Horqin is no longer what it used to be, why can't you just keep this position in peace and contentment? You have to
Are you making this fuss over a vain concubine?"
Concubine Jin was naturally unconvinced. Why was the position of concubine so vain? The Empress Dowager was already old. If she couldn't climb up as soon as possible, she would be nothing more than yesterday's flower when the Empress Dowager was gone! She could
I don’t want to end up in a situation where I’m not even as good as Concubine Xuan!
But Jinbin still bowed her head obediently.
The Empress Dowager was very helpless: "The Ai family also knows that this position is indeed a bit unfair, but there is still the emperor's favor! This is more important than anything else. As long as you can give birth to a son and a half, why don't you worry about not being a concubine?
One day? You are putting the cart before the horse by making such a fuss!"
"It's because I've failed to live up to my expectations. I'm still not pregnant..." Jinbi bit her lip. Why didn't she want to have a baby?
The Empress Dowager said faintly: "Fortunately, it's not too bad now, and the emperor is willing to give you some favor. From now on, you can just stay in peace and don't make trouble again. Although your status is not high, you are higher than you."
Who dares to bully you, my concubine?"
Although Concubine Jin was unwilling, she did not dare to contradict the Empress Dowager, so she quickly kowtowed and kept her promise.
Returning to the Shende Hall, Concubine Jin was aggrieved and discouraged, until Chana, the palace maid who was accompanying her, approached and reported: "My Lady, applying eyeliner to the Spring Hall will pay off." - After saying this, she handed over a small note.
"What is Concubine Dun doing so pretentiously again?" Concubine Jin spat before opening the small piece of paper. After scanning it, Concubine Jin couldn't help but feel happy. She was worried that she couldn't catch Concubine Dun, so she asked herself
Delivered to your door!
Concubine Jin stood up suddenly, but calmed down in an instant. No, she couldn't get involved. She was taken advantage of by the queen last time, and now she is so favored that she is even worse than Su's humble maid...
Concubine Jin's eyes flashed with calculation, and she didn't believe the queen could bear it.
The Old Summer Palace is picturesque. Although the peach blossoms in Taohuawu are out of season, and the peonies with the moon and clouds have long since withered, there are still many interesting places. Tianshen’s favorite is Tantananda, and Concubine Dun often goes to Cixi.
It's a pity that Shu Jin couldn't understand a single sentence of the opera Yun Puhu, Wanfang Anhe, but the lotus flowers in the Quyuan Fenghe have already bloomed against the sun, and the scenery is beautiful.
The only dissatisfaction is that she has to get up early every day to go to Luoyue Kaiyun to pay her respects to the queen. However, the queen seems to be living a comfortable life recently, and she is quite gentle to the concubines. She talks a few gossips every day, and at most she cares about her pregnancy.
Concubine Dun also dispersed.
On this day, Concubine Dun burst into tears and started to complain: "I was cleaning up the inner palace yesterday, and suddenly I discovered that a pearl bracelet with eighteen sons was missing. If it was just an ordinary bracelet, it happened to be the emperor's.
Rewarded..."
Shu Jin: Wait? Bracelet? Could it be the trespassing Dongzhu bracelet that Su promised?
The queen showed concern: "A gift from the emperor? Have you looked carefully for it?"
Concubine Dun was filled with tears, and she said to Chu Chu Keren, "I have already searched through the Fuchun Palace. I suspected that one of the slaves had unclean hands and feet, and even searched the residence of the palace residents, but I still couldn't find it."
The queen frowned: "What should we do? Concubine Dun, have any outsiders entered your inner palace recently?"
Concubine Dun bit her lip: "Although sisters often visit, they have never entered the concubine's inner palace, only——"
As she said that, Concubine Dun glanced at Su Yingsheng, who was sitting at the end, "Only Su Yingsheng has sneaked into the concubine's inner palace several times..."
Su promised to stand up in astonishment, and quickly said pitifully: "I just came in to visit my empress, I never meant any harm!"
After saying that, Su Yaosheng hurriedly knelt down and said, "Please let the queen make the decision! I am from a humble background, so my hands and feet are not unclean!" After saying that, Su Yaosheng also sobbed and cried so hard.
"Okay!" The queen was quite impatient, "Since you are the only one who has entered Concubine Dun's inner palace, I have no choice but to send someone to search your Chun Haoxuan."
Su Zhengyi couldn't help but feel confused. With Concubine Dun's words, could it be that something had been done in her palace?
The queen said kindly again: "Don't worry, it's just a normal search. Only after a search can we prove your innocence, right?"
"Concubine..." Su agreed and was speechless for a moment.
Shu Jin saw this and couldn't help thinking that it was probably Concubine Dun's trap... But if the string of beads was found, there would be something wrong with Concubine Dun, right? After all, it was a trespassing thing.
...No, Concubine Atsushi is not that stupid. I'm afraid that the bead is not an arrogant second-class Eastern bead.
Thinking of this, Shu Jin took a sip of tea and then waited leisurely for the show to begin.
"Su promised, you should get up first. There is no evidence yet, so just sit back and wait for the news." The queen was very gentle for such a small promise.
Shu Jin secretly thought, yes, it was the queen who pointed out Su Yingxing to go to the Concubine Dun's Palace to work as a deviant in the first place. She was afraid that Su Yingxing was actually the queen's person. Therefore, after Su Yingxing found out about the second-class Dongzhu, he
He immediately reported it to the Queen.
It's a pity that the queen saw Su's plan and refused on the spot.
Therefore, if evidence is found today, the Queen must not mind giving this little promise a little color. Concubine Dun must also understand this, so she boldly set up a trap.
Well, there's nothing wrong with this.
At this moment, Concubine Jin suddenly said: "Dun Concubine, may I have misunderstood something? Su's promise was just a small promise. How could he have the courage to steal a bracelet from Concubine Dun? Moreover, it was an imperial gift.
thing."
Concubine Dun couldn't help but look a little unhappy, "You will know after the Queen searches it."
Shu Jin's heart was ringing with alarm bells. There was no way this concubine would say good things for Su's promise without any reason! Something was wrong. This game might be a little subtle.
