What's even more painful is that Shu Jin didn't expect to be punished by kneeling, so he was forced to wear knee pads and kneel on the hard white stone floor. The feeling... Whoever kneels down will feel so good!
Even though she had strong bones, she felt her knees were sore and numb after kneeling for an hour, and the pain was unbearable! Although Kang Mazi died that year, she had to kneel down all day long, but she had knee pads and a futon at that time, so she could endure it...
…
Today's life is really not a human life.
Shu Jin couldn't help but sigh, this Queen Mother Wu Ya is really not a human being!
Your eldest son torments the younger son, but you bully the weak and fear the strong. You dare not do anything to the eldest son, so you torment us as hard as you can!
Damn it, I curse your little son for not having any good fruits to eat!
Cursing in my heart, I heard a "pop" next to me!
I turned around and saw, oh, little rice cake had fainted.
Look at the thin body and bones, lying softly on the floor, and the little face is also pale and bloodless - looking at this look, it seems that he is really fainted.
The aunt in charge of looking after them hurriedly stepped forward to check, then got up and hurried back to the inner hall.
After a while, the grandma came out and sent a message: "The Queen Mother has decreed that Concubine Dun be sent back to Yikun Palace and come back tomorrow to attend to her illness!"
Shu Jin suddenly wanted to faint, but thinking about her body, forget it. If Xiao Nian Gao fainted, some people would really believe it. If she fainted, even dogs wouldn't believe it.
Being too healthy can sometimes be a pain.
Concubine Xi secretly gritted her teeth and couldn't help but whisper: "She must be faking it."
Shu Jin secretly thought: Being able to pretend that it is difficult to distinguish between true and false is also a skill.
Empress Dowager Wuya just wanted to torment people and threaten Yongzheng, so naturally she would not get things done.
After all, Xiao Nian Gao is the most beloved concubine in the harem.
By the way, why has Yongzheng not gone to court yet?
broken!
The small rice cakes were carried back. Even if Yongzheng went to court, he would probably go to Yikun Palace.
Worri!
I'm afraid these two hours of kneeling as punishment are unavoidable!
Shu Jin was on the verge of crying but couldn't find any tears, "What the hell is this..." Mom, who did I offend?
Concubine Xi also looked sad, "Isn't it..."
Although the eldest nanny had a stern face and looked inhumane, she pretended not to hear the whispers of the two concubines. Obviously she didn't want to get things done.
When Concubine Xi saw that the eldest nanny was silent, she couldn't help but continue to mutter: "Sister, do you think the emperor will come?"
Shu Jin chuckled at her, "What do you think?"
Concubine Xi:……
Concubine Xi was almost crying.
After all, kneeling in such a place without wearing knee pads is really a kind of torture. Since she became the concubine, how has Concubine Xi ever suffered such a crime?
About a quarter of an hour later, Shu Jin heard the sound of footsteps behind him, and he was overjoyed. Could it be that Yongzheng was here? When he turned around and glanced around, he saw that it was Concubine Xuan!
Shu Jin was confused. What was this concubine doing in Ningshou Palace?
The eldest grandma bowed hurriedly and said, "Is Concubine Xuan here to visit the Queen Mother?"
Concubine Xuan's face was cold: "I am here to convey the Queen Mother's decree. She misses her great-grandson, so she asked Concubine Yu to take her fifth elder brother to Cining Palace."
Shu Jin was confused. What did the Empress Dowager mean by this? Wasn't she already dead? Why did she change her mind again?
And isn’t Yuanshou also her great-grandson?
Why can I only see Tianshen?
Concubine Xi couldn't help but feel envious, and she was suspicious in her heart. When did the Empress Dowager have such a favor for Concubine Yu? Or maybe she saw that the fifth elder brother was fat and handsome, so she also helped Concubine Yu?
But no matter what, Shu Jin was freed, and Empress Dowager Wu Ya didn't dare to say anything about the Queen Mother's decree, so Ma Liu was released.
Shu Jin said goodbye to Concubine Xuan, slipped back to Chengqian Palace, packed up Tianshen and took her with him, and slipped back to Cining Palace.
She was ill in winter, and the Empress Dowager's energy was indeed not as good as before.
"It's nothing important. The Ai family just wanted to ask you if you would like Tianshen to learn Mongolian with Concubine Xuan." The Empress Dowager was not energetic enough, so she skipped the pleasantries and went straight to the topic.
Although Shu Jin was confused, the fact that she had a Mongolian language teacher for free would be beneficial to her without any harm, so she simply thanked her: "I am willing."
The Empress Dowager nodded with satisfaction, "Then you can go back and rest today, and then take Tianshen to Shoukang Palace tomorrow."
Shu Jin was stunned: "I'm afraid I will have to wait for you tomorrow..."
The Empress Dowager said calmly: "As for the Wu Ya family, the Ai family will inform her."
Shu Jin finally understood that learning Mongolian was just an excuse! The Empress Dowager went out of her way to help her!
"I don't quite understand..." Why is Mao suddenly so nice to me? We don't have any friendship, right?
The Empress Dowager said directly: "The Ai family is getting old, and I am worried that Concubine Xuan will have no one to take care of her in the future."
Shu Jin suddenly realized, "I understand." Isn't it just taking care of her to the best of her ability? She can still do this.
"Just understand." The Empress Dowager couldn't help but sigh slightly.
This transaction ended briefly.
Seeing Concubine Yu and her son kneel down and leave, Concubine Xuan couldn't help but feel a little sore in her nose, "The Empress Dowager..."
The Empress Dowager lamented endlessly, "Concubine Jin is dead. If the Ai family leaves, you don't need to pay attention to her."
Concubine Xuan couldn't help but feel sad and tears rolled down her face.
The Empress Dowager sighed quietly: "It's not that the Aijia won't save her, it's that we can't save her. What you have to do now is to protect yourself."
Concubine Xuan was very uneasy, "But Concubine Yu..."
The Empress Dowager sighed: "She is the best candidate. The emperor asked her to co-manage the palace affairs with Concubine Xi. Concubine Xi has been bribing and arranging people these days. She even picked a beautiful one and agreed to take her into his palace.
. But Concubine Yu... did not get any benefits for herself. She was obviously born like that, but the emperor valued her particularly. The Ai family knew that she would be the one who could make the decision in this palace in the future. "
Concubine Xuan nodded, "There is nothing to say about her character, but the Queen Mother..." With the Queen Mother's temperament, if she was in trouble in the future, Concubine Yu would not be able to do anything.
The Empress Dowager snorted coldly, "No matter how powerful Wu Ya is, can she be more powerful than the emperor? You don't have to worry!" - Let's make a scene!
Back at Chengqian Palace, Zhang Shoufa had already taken some ointment for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis from the Imperial Hospital. Aunt Lanruo took it personally and helped her rub open the wound on her knee.
Shu Jin gritted his teeth in pain and couldn't help but cursed his mother over and over again - Yongzheng's mother.
Aunt Lan Ruo quickly comforted her and said, "Fortunately, the Empress Dowager took action, so my empress will not have to go to Ningshou Palace in the future."
Shu Jin sighed: "This favor is really not small."
The Empress Dowager made this investment because she saw that she, a powerful palace concubine, could last for a long time.
"It's just that I don't understand. Isn't Concubine Xi... a better candidate?" In terms of background and family status, she was completely outclassed.
Aunt Lanruo said with a smile: "The Empress Dowager has such a discerning eye. Naturally, what she values is your virtue."
What is my virtue?
The virtue of lying flat on a salted fish!
Shu Jin lay down on the soft Arhat couch, "Oh, I'm afraid I won't have any leisure time in the future."
