"In addition to visiting Brother Yuanshou, I have something to discuss with you." Shu Jin paused and spoke in a softer tone, "I was handling the palace affairs before, and you are responsible for verification, which will inevitably put you in trouble.
Now that Yuan Shou is ill again, how about you handle the palace affairs and I verify it?"
Concubine Xi was startled, she really didn't expect that Concubine Yu would take the initiative to make such humility.
It stands to reason that the right to verify is the final hurdle, and it stands to reason that the right is greater.
But this is not the case in reality. After all, Shu Jin and Concubine Xi are equals, and they have to take each other's face into consideration. Therefore, unless there is really a big mistake, this verification cannot be easily rejected.
Therefore, during the actual period that Concubine Xi was given to the Queen Mother, Shu Jin almost had sole control of the palace.
Concubine Xi did not hesitate to use her son to plot against her, all she wanted was to share the power of the palace equally, as in the past.
But at this moment, Concubine Yu offered to let her have it all...
Concubine Xi couldn't help but her heart beat faster, but she quickly calmed down. Even if Concubine Yu was willing, the empress who pretended to be ill would never be able to stay ill forever!
Concubine Xi took a deep breath: "Yuanshou's illness is only temporary. How about it lasts for one month and you and I take turns?"
Shu Jin's purpose is exactly this!
It's such a waste of time for two people to discuss office work together!!
Shu Jin nodded: "That's fine."
After a few words of comfort to Concubine Xi, Shu Jin went back home.
Lan Ruo smiled and offered a cup of white fungus and snow pear soup, "Concubine Xi is a smart person, and it is most appropriate for the empress to deal with her like this."
Shu Jin: I just want to be lazy.
"By the way, is there any new news about Ningshou Palace?" Shu Jin asked hurriedly.
Zhang Shoufa stepped forward quickly, bowed and said: "There is no news at the moment, and the two empresses Mao and Mi have not been summoned. However, the two empresses have already gone to Baohua Hall to chant sutras and pray for the Queen Mother."
Shu Jin couldn't help but wonder, could it be because her few words yesterday had an effect?
No way? No way? If Queen Mother Wuya was someone who could listen to advice, why would she have been struggling for so long?
"Did something happen in the previous dynasty?" Shu Jin asked quickly.
Zhang Shoufa shook his head, "I haven't heard anything about it."
Shu Jin rubbed the center of his brows and said, forget it, it won't bother her anyway.
At this moment, in the Yikun Palace, Concubine Dun was like a piece of rice cake, almost sticking to Yongzheng's body, "Your Majesty, you don't love the second princess..." The hateful Concubine Xi actually dared to laugh at her for having no son! Even if she doesn't have a son.
, her second princess is also more favored than Yuanshou!!
"Stop being willful! Don't I love the second princess enough?" Although Yinzhen was helped, he still had a headache.
Concubine Dun had a look of resentment on her pretty face, "But you haven't named the second princess yet."
Yinzhen rubbed his eyebrows, "There have been so many things lately..." First, the Empress Dowager had been ill for so long, and then the Empress Dowager had been in trouble for so long, which made the harem no longer peaceful.
"Okay, let me think about it carefully."
Concubine Dun immediately said coquettishly: "Then you have to be more careful. Anyway, you can't just pick a flower."
What's wrong with calling a girl Hua'er Duo'er?
Yinzhen sighed and said, "Let's call him Fuyou, and bring some blessings to this child."
Although Concubine Dun was not very satisfied, she thought it was much better than the name of the eldest princess Shu Yierha, so she nodded and said: "I would like to thank the emperor on behalf of the second princess!"
Shu Jin woke up from his nap and heard the fresh good news.
"Princess Fuyou?" Shu Jin raised her eyebrows. She thought of Xiao Nian Gao's three sons in history: Fuyi, Fuhui, and Fupei. These three blessings were all dead.
Didn’t Yongzheng think it was unlucky?
Eighty percent of it is because of no intention.
The treatment of the beloved concubine is nothing more than this.
Lan Ruo whispered: "It doesn't sound like a name, but more like a title."
Shu Jin waved the fan in his hand, "Speaking of which, the sixth elder brother under the Queen's lap and the seventh elder brother of Mi Concubine have not been named yet."
Lan Ruo smiled and said: "Yes, the Queen may be impatient."
Shu Jin secretly thought that the Queen Mother had not recovered yet, so she could only continue to pretend to be ill.
Speaking of which, there is no one to serve you in Ningshou Palace now!
I'm afraid there's something wrong with this kind of thing.
The empress and concubines all fulfilled their filial piety, and if word spread, others would murmur, or even criticize Yong Zheng for not being filial enough.
I don’t know how Yongzheng will respond.
In the evening, Jingren Palace sent the completed palace affairs to Shu Jin. Shu Jin was too lazy to look at it, so he said to Lan Ruo: "Just stamp it." With Concubine Xi's cleverness, there would be no mistakes.
of.
"Empress!" Lan Ruo couldn't help but scolded, "You have to take a look at it."
"Looking through it?" There are so many documents. If you really want to read them carefully, you might have to stay up late! I don't do this kind of thing!
Shu Jin yawned and started to show off: "Just help me take a look."
Lan Ruo:......
Lan Ruo is very happy to have gained such trust from her master, but - my dear, how can you be lazy about this kind of thing! Lan Ruo is very sad!
But I still had to stay up late to read and work overtime until half the night.
Shu Jin was finally freed from the tedious palace affairs, although she felt a little sorry for Lan Ruo...
The next morning, seeing Lan Ruo's listless look, Shu Jin said: "Let Han Shuang and Lu Xue learn from you, at least I can give you a start. Oh, by the way, you should go back and rest during the day."
Hanshuang and Luxue are naturally very happy. This is to verify the palace affairs! How many people in the palace can have such a blessing?
Hanshuang muttered in a low voice: "It's also the fault of Concubine Xi. In the past, you would finish the work in half a day, but she arrived so late..."
"This can't be blamed on Concubine Xi." She didn't sleep the night before. She has to catch up on her sleep during the day so that she can have the energy to work, right?
Of course, Concubine Xi didn't mean it, so she sent someone to take care of the palace affairs this afternoon.
It was a pity that Lan Ruo went back to rest. Although Shu Jin was reluctant, he had to cheer up and read by himself, and called Han Shuang, and Lu Xue followed suit.
Only when you two learn well can I be lazy!
Because Shu Jin has learned to read and write in the past few years, the two girls have also learned a lot of words. Although they are not like talented women, at least they do not have dyslexia when reading account books and so on.
"This eunuch seems to have served Concubine Xi..." Hanshuang whispered, "Why is he going to make up for the vacancy of the eunuch in charge of the fourth branch?"
Lu Xue muttered: "Let's deploy more people!"
Shu Jin silently stamped his golden concubine seal and said, "Let her go."
Hanshuang couldn't help but mutter: "How many numbers are these?"
Lu Xue said: "Is it the third one?"
Shu Jin said calmly: "Just know it in your heart, there is no need to say it out loud."
Hanshuang Luxue couldn't help but raise her eyebrows. The empress was really good-tempered, allowing Concubine Xi to deploy people everywhere.
Shu Jin secretly thought that the queen was not blind. Even Yongzheng would notice it if she turned a blind eye. Otherwise, why did she handle the palace affairs some time ago?
