We haven't seen her for more than a month, and Little Nian Gao's belly has obviously grown again. All the way from the ceremonial gate of Yinghui Hall to the middle of the hall, she is breathing heavily and her cheeks are red, which is quite charming.
Concubine Xi had already suppressed the coldness on her face and showed a kind and friendly smile, "Concubine Dun, my sister is feeling heavy. Don't be tired. Sit down and have a sip of sweet cheese to relax."
Concubine Dun Rourou sat on a cushioned armchair nearby, and took the sweet cheese offered by Lan Xun, the eldest maid of Yinghui Palace. She seemed to take a sip, but Shu Jin clearly saw the words on Concubine Dun's mouth.
The rouge has never been stained on the sweet cheese cup... Tsk, tsk, this is not even a show!
The three concubines were so close, Shu Jin could clearly see that Concubine Xi was not blind. He couldn't help but feel angry again. In broad daylight, in full view of everyone, could I poison you? I am not a fool like Qi Guiren.
!
However, Concubine Xi could only pretend not to see it, "Concubine Dun never likes to go out. Why did she come to Yinghui Hall today? It makes me feel far away to welcome you."
Concubine Dun wiped the corners of her lips in a theatrical manner, "Concubine Xi is serious. You and I are both concubines, so why do we need to go far to welcome her? It would be a disgrace to me."
Concubine Xi secretly spat, it turns out that you still remember that you are a concubine, how dare you secretly wear a second-class pearl that can only be enjoyed by imperial concubines! No wonder the queen can't tolerate you!
After saying that, Concubine Dun looked at Shu Jin eagerly and said with a smile: "Sister Yufei is here too. I haven't seen you for some days, and my sister's complexion is getting better and better."
Shu Jin: Why are you pretending? Didn’t I tell you earlier that I was coming to Yinghui Hall?
Shu Jin then said: "I eat, drink and have fun all day long, and there is nothing to worry about. Naturally, my heart is relaxed, my body is fat, and my complexion is getting better." - I don't want you to be thinking about this and that all day long!
Concubine Atsushi did not hear the underlying meaning of Concubine Yu for a while, and her smile became even sweeter: "It's really enviable that my sister is so blessed."
Concubine Xi chuckled and interjected: "Sister Yu Fei can be respectful to the middle palace, be kind to the palace people, and be harmonious to the six palaces. With such a character, you will naturally be blessed from heaven."
Concubine Dun finally heard what Concubine Xi said, and most of her sweet smile disappeared. Is Concubine Xi disparaging my bad character?!
At this time, a grunting sound came from the inner hall. Looking through the curtain, it turned out that Yuanshou Tianshen was playing ball.
Shu Jin then said: "Although it is necessary to treat the palace people leniently, there are some servants with unclean hands and feet who cannot be lenient."
Hearing this, Concubine Xi was puzzled for a moment, "What? There is a thief in my sister's palace?"
Shu Jin nodded: "Isn't that right! A nun who was serving Tianshen actually stole one of Tianshen's jade rabbit-pounded medicine sachets."
Hearing the words "jade rabbit pounding medicine", Concubine Xi immediately thought of the one she saw in Fuchun Hall on the Mid-Autumn Festival night... Naturally, this kind of thing should be investigated thoroughly, but Concubine Yu did it in front of Concubine Dun.
If you say this in this context, it is somewhat worth pondering.
Shu Jin said lightly: "She has been expelled, but it is a pity for her needlework skills."
After saying that, Shu Jin looked at Concubine Dun: "If Concubine Dun likes her, you might as well take her under her command."
Concubine Atsushi's heart skipped a beat. She didn't ask the people around her to contact the nanny directly. It stands to reason that Concubine Yu shouldn't have found out about her... But Concubine Yu was obviously suspicious of her! So that's what it was like for Concubine Yu to be the one to blame.
The reason why the concubine deliberately alienated her!
Concubine Atsun managed to force out a smile and said, "Since you are a slave with unclean hands and feet, why would your sister want you?"
Concubine Xi looked at Concubine Dun's appearance and thought to herself, so to speak, Concubine Jin did not steal the sachet to frame Concubine Yu, but Concubine Dun herself set up a trap... Wait, how did Concubine Dun know that?
Will I take action on the Mid-Autumn Festival night?
Concubine Xi was shocked. Could it be that Concubine Dun jumped down on her own? There was no one to push her!
This Concubine Dun! When did she become so scheming? I really underestimated this little girl!
Shu Jin said quietly: "Man's calculation is not as good as God's. Concubine Dun should just take care of herself in the future." This was just her last warning.
Concubine Atsushi was in a state of confusion for a while. At first, she was just thinking about getting Concubine Yu to her side, but instead of thinking about it, she was self-defeating!
"Sister..." Concubine Ke Dun was still unwilling to give up. "Sister, I have my own reasons. Can you come to my palace for a cup of tea and allow me to explain slowly?"
Shu Jin showed a faint smile: "No need, but Concubine Dun can rest assured that this palace will not take it to heart. Concubine Dun can rest assured to raise the baby." - Anyway, I won't harm you, of course,
It's hard for others to say.
Concubine Dun naturally trusts that Concubine Yu is not that kind of evil person, but what about others? Queen, concubine Jin? Which one is more economical? Not only did the emperor not deal with concubine Jin, but he even summoned concubine as usual! He even did not go to Fuchun Palace often.
Now, how can she raise her baby with peace of mind?
"Sister..." Concubine Dun was so anxious that her eyes were red, "I have never hurt my sister."
Shu Jin was very irritated. Yes, you just want to plot against me! He said: "You can rest assured that the emperor's heir is the emperor's bottom line, and the queen will not touch this bottom line easily."
Wouldn’t it be more cost-effective for the queen to wait until you give birth before taking action?!
Concubine Dun was startled and couldn't help but asked hurriedly: "Seriously?!"
Shu Jin said lightly: "I'm still 89% sure." - Who told you to look for trouble and tease the queen?!
Concubine Atsushi felt complicated for a moment. If she had not plotted against Concubine Yu, then... would Concubine Yu be willing to help her now?
Concubine Xi smiled slightly and said, "Sister Concubine Dun, it's getting late. Don't starve your little brother."
Shu Jin: This is to remind Concubine Dun to get out of here.
How could Concubine Dun not hear that Concubine Xi was chasing away guests? She couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied. The sun was still high, so it was getting late.
But Concubine Yu obviously didn't want to say anything anymore. Even if she stayed shamelessly, what would be the use? Instead, Concubine Xi was laughed at.
Concubine Dun barely maintained a smile: "I'm the one who bothered the two sisters. I'll take my leave now."
Shu Jin breathed a sigh of relief, finally getting rid of this clingy little rice cake.
After closing the palace door, Concubine Xi couldn't help but snorted, "I thought she was just being flirtatious, but unexpectedly, she didn't care about the safety of the child in her belly!"
Shu Jin smiled: "I am familiar with the nature of water."
Concubine Xi frowned: "If a good swimmer dies in the water, she is not afraid of any eventuality!"
Shu Jin stroked Dian Cui on his temples and said, "Even if there are risks, once the thing is done, the benefits will be extremely high."
Concubine Xi's face darkened, "Sister, this Concubine Dun... I am afraid her ambitions are not limited to the second-class Dongzhu!"
Shu Jin smiled: "That's what the Queen has to worry about." - The Queen was probably annoyed by this incident.
Concubine Xi was slightly relieved, yes, there was a queen to fight with Concubine Dun.
Concubine Xi suddenly thought of something again, "By the way, it seems that the emperor has not been to Fuchun Palace for many days..." - Concubine Dun must have fallen out of favor.
Shu Jin saw the expectation in Concubine Xi's eyes and couldn't help but smile: "With her appearance, how can she fall out of favor so easily? It's just that the emperor has been annoyed with her recently. As long as she is more gentle and carefree, why worry about not being favored?"
Concubine Xi pursed her lips, feeling quite unhappy, "Funny!"
