The next day, the concubines gathered at the Hollow Moon Kaiyun Palace.
Although the queen has been deprived of power by Concubine Xi, she is still much stronger than before. There is a bit of pride in her brows, "No courtesy, I will give you a seat."
Shu Jin sat down and suddenly realized why the little rice cake was not there?
The queen sat on the phoenix chair, and her tone was a bit cool: "Yesterday, Fuchun Palace came to report that Concubine Dun accidentally caught the heat and could not come to pay her respects."
Shu Jin secretly thought: Could it be that she suffered from heatstroke because she stood outside her palace for half an hour?
She immediately spat, "It's none of my business! It's not me who made her stand!"
Concubine Xi was also quite proud: "I heard that Concubine Dun was left in the cold for an hour yesterday in Wanfang'anhe, and then she went to Concubine Yu's sister's Danning Palace and refused to leave, so she was exposed
I’m suffering from heatstroke.”
Little rice cake was forced to stand in front of the Queen Mother for so long?
That seems to be the fault of the Empress Dowager.
The queen looked at Geng with a smile: "You have always been kind, how come you gave Concubine Dun a bad look yesterday?"
Shu Jin stood up and said calmly: "It was noon at that time. It's my concubine's fault. She took a nap too deeply."
Concubine Xi covered her lips and smiled: "How can you blame sister for this? It's not like sister punished her to stand outside the palace and not leave!"
Shu Jin: That’s right! It’s none of my business!
The palace was filled with a joyful atmosphere for a while. Little Nian Gao's bad luck actually made the relationship among the concubines more harmonious.
The queen raised her chin slightly, looking a little proud, "Concubine Dun is too ignorant. The sixth elder brother is the emperor's closest relative. How can it be her turn to make irresponsible remarks? No wonder the empress dowager doesn't like her!"
Nian, this bitch, has finally fallen out of favor! The queen thought fiercely, it’s time to teach her a lesson!
Shu Jin thought to himself that the next days for Xiao Nian Gao would be even more difficult.
How can you survive in the harem only by relying on the cool dog emperor?
When you are favored, you will naturally get wind and rain, but once you lose favor - look at this, everyone would like to step on you hard.
Moreover, in other people's eyes, this is called beating a drowned dog.
Tsk tsk, Concubine Dun's popularity is really hopeless.
Even if she can survive this test, a woman's appearance will eventually fade. When that day comes, how good will the outcome be?
In the early morning of this day, the palace maids were fragrant with books and ink. They picked fresh lotus buds from Fenghe in Quyuan. Shu Jin trimmed them himself and inserted them among the pink and blue dendrobium trees. It was quite elegant.
Mao Bi was eating herbal tea at the side and said with a smile: "I passed by Fuchun Palace the day before yesterday and saw a little eunuch pouring dirty water at the front door! When I asked about it, I found out that it was Xiao Lu, the eunuch of Chun Haoxuan.
!”
Chun Haoxuan...oh, Su Chang is here.
Concubine Mi sighed faintly, "How long has it been since I fell out of favor, and now I can even bully the concubine and the queen?"
Mao Bi curled her lips, "What's the reason for falling out of favor? Among the three of us, who is favored now? Which noble person below often dares to bully us?"
Shu Jin eloquently analyzed: "Firstly, when Concubine Dun was favored, she made too many enemies; secondly, this Su Changzai...she is the queen's person."
Without the support of the Queen, how could Chang be so bold?
Concubine Mi sighed: "Of course Concubine Dun brought it upon herself, but she just pitied Princess Fuyou."
Shu Jin was startled: "The queen and Concubine Xi will not deduct the princess's rights, right?"
Concubine Mi sighed: "That's not the case, but Concubine Dun didn't receive any ice this summer. Concubine Dun naturally had to use Princess Fuyou's ice. As a result, the princess's ice was not enough."
Shu Jin was silent for a moment and then said: "In this case, we will see when the emperor will soften his heart."
Concubine Dun's illness may not be without the intention of pretending to be pitiful and inviting favor.
Concubine Mi whispered: "Your Majesty, I don't know something. Now there is a flood in the south, and the Emperor is busy. I'm afraid he has no time to worry about the harem."
Shu Jin said calmly: "Then Concubine Dun will have to stay for a while longer."
Concubine Mi couldn't help but feel more and more sorry for Princess Fuyou.
Shu Jin said with a smile: "Fu Chun Palace is cool and cool, but it will be so hot anywhere. Concubine Dun's illness is 50% true and 50% false. The situation of their mother and daughter is naturally much worse than before, but compared to Those who are not favored often agree, and they are stronger than anyone!"
It's just a case of being deducted and being angered, it won't kill anyone.
Mao Bi smiled angrily and said: "Why are you so distressed about Concubine Dun and her daughter? If you have such leisure time, you might as well take the opportunity to fight for favor or something. You are still young, don't let it down."
Concubine Mi smiled and said: "Sister, please stop teasing me. Since I gave birth to Hongxin, my stature has never been the same. Why should I imitate others?"
After saying that, Concubine Mi joked: "It's true that An Changzai in your palace has always been quite fond of you. It would be great if there is good news."
Maobin sighed, "It's so easy!"
Since Concubine Mi gave birth to her seventh elder brother, there has been no good news in the palace.
That's right, Yongzheng is no longer young after all.
Shu Jin hurriedly laughed: "Take your time, there are not many concubines in the palace, and you can always wait for good news."
While they were chatting and laughing, Zhang Shoufa quickly came in and called Qian'er to report: "Your Majesty, Mr. Wu wants to see you."
Wu Guiren??
Shu Jin looked suspicious. Wu Guiren seemed to live in Chunxi Hall in the west. Why did he come all the way to Danning Hall? But she was the most beloved concubine at the moment. Of course, Shu Jin couldn't leave it alone.
"Let her in."
Mao Bi whispered: "Concubine Xi had been trying to win over the Wu family for a while, but the Wu family had always stayed away from her. Now this is..."
Shu Jin was slandering, so he couldn't come to join her for no reason, right?
On a hot summer day, Wu Guiren walked in slenderly, like a beautiful lotus blooming, "Concubine, please give my regards to Concubine Yu!"
Seeing Concubine Mao and Concubine Mi sitting on both sides, Wu Guiren was slightly surprised. She quickly saluted and greeted the second concubine, and then said timidly: "Concubine...are you disturbing the ladies?"
Making good friends with the Sixth Palace was Shu Jin's criterion for survival in the harem, so he smiled kindly: "Not really, I just have nothing to do, chatting about some household matters with Mao Bin and Mi Bi."
With that said, he ordered Hanshuang to move a chair for Wu Guiren.
Wu Guiren thanked him quickly, then stepped forward and sat down sideways, "I had nothing to do, so I came out to get some air, and walked to Danning Hall without thinking. Thinking that Concubine Yu was gentle in nature, she was... The sisters in the Sixth Palace praised him as a virtuous man, so he took the liberty to visit him."
Oh, it looks like my mouth is covered with honey.
Most likely, he was going to be her party member - Shu Jin was in a bit of a dilemma. The momentum was too great and could easily arouse the queen's vigilance. Wu Guiren was legitimately favored. It would be fine if he was just a little closer, like Mao and Mi. , he kept burrowing into her palace for most of the day, fearing that the queen would not be able to sit still.
"My concubine came to the garden and lived alone in Chunxi Hall. It was inevitably a bit boring." Wu Guiren's eyes were soft and full of meaning.
