Shu Jin hurriedly ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to prepare all the necessary treatment for the two adopted princesses, and arranged for proper nannies to teach them how to serve. He only hoped that the two children could adapt to the palace as soon as possible.
Shu Jin has become a powerful concubine, which is not without benefits. First of all, the maids and eunuchs in his palace, Yourong Yan, have become more and more dedicated, and secondly, as soon as they apply, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is now the best.
The good ones were sent to her palace, and the concubines below were even more respectful to her, even a little fawning.
Needless to say, those who often say yes, even beloved concubines like Wu Guiren often come to Danning Hall to pay their respects.
Seeing that she was in great power, Mrs. Wu had the idea of defecting to her. Secondly, Concubine Dun returned to her favor, and Wu Guiren was reduced to the second favorite concubine. She was unwilling to accept it, so she naturally wanted to embrace Shu Jin's thigh.
It's just that Wu Guiren didn't say it clearly after he had suffered a lot.
On this day, after sending Wu Guiren away and taking care of the general affairs at hand, Shu Jin set off to Ningshou Palace to pay his respects.
In the past, I would follow the queen's lead and go with the crowd to pay her respects and pay my respects.
Now that the Queen is bedridden, as a high-ranking concubine, Shu Jin naturally cannot ignore the Queen Mother of Ningshou Palace and has to go to the Ningshou Palace every now and then to attend the occasion.
Because of Yunhu's death, Queen Mother Wu Ya is now very honest and will not show off her concubine's face for no reason. Even so, Shu Jin never brought Hong Zhou to pay him respects.
"My concubine, please give your regards to the Queen Mother." Shu Jin respectfully greeted her with a Wanfu gift.
Probably because she had just woken up from her nap, Queen Mother Wuya was a little out of spirits. Next to her stood a half-grown girl in a pink haze palace dress - needless to say, she was the late Prince Li's Liugege.
.
But in front of the Queen Mother, she was more like a servant girl - Liu Gege was serving tea to the Queen Mother obediently.
This Liugege looked to be only eight or nine years old, but she looked pretty and pleasant. When meeting Shu Jin, the concubine, she was obedient and greeted her politely, "Concubine Yu, Jin An."
Shu Jin quickly raised a smile: "Although the princess is young, she is very filial and smart."
Liugege hurriedly said: "How dare you call your empress a 'princess' if you haven't been canonized yet?"
Shu Jin was startled, that's right, Prince Li Liugege and Prince Zhuang Dagege only enjoyed the courtesy of Princess Heshuo, not to mention canonization, and they didn't even receive an imperial decree.
Empress Dowager Wu Ya looked cold, "Concubine Yu is a very busy person now, how can you find time to pay your respects to this old lady of the Ai family?"
Shu Jin had no choice but to bow and say: "I am lazy, please forgive me."
Empress Dowager Wu Ya snorted, "That's all, the Ai family doesn't like noise. If you guys come here every day, the Ai family will find it annoying."
Shu Jin cursed that although Empress Dowager Wuya no longer tormented people, her words were still bitter and thorny.
Forget it, this is already pretty good.
Shu Jin hurriedly smiled and changed the subject: "The nuns who were sent here a few days ago, are you still serving Liu Gege with all your heart?"
Liu Gege hurriedly lowered his head and said: "Moms are all meticulous and disciplined people. Thank you very much, Concubine Yu, for taking the trouble."
Shu Jin nodded slightly, and then said: "If there is anything wrong with my slave, Gege, please don't tolerate it. You must report it to the Queen Mother as soon as possible. Since Gege entered the palace and fulfilled her filial piety under the Queen Mother's knees, she followed
The Queen Mother’s biological granddaughter is the same."
Liugege kept saying "I dare not take it". It is not easy to be so cautious at such a young age.
Empress Dowager Wu Ya was a little impatient, "Concubine Yu is particularly verbose today."
Shu Jin smiled awkwardly and had to stand up and said, "I'm disturbing the Queen Mother today."
Then he knelt down and said goodbye, "Ma Dan, do you think I like coming to your place?"
Returning to Danning Hall, I originally wanted to take a good rest, but Zhang Shoufa hurriedly came to report that Concubine Dun was here.
Why is this little rice cake so sticky?
She had no choice but to cheer up and welcome her, but unexpectedly, Concubine Dun's pretty face looked a little suspicious and unkind, "Is it a bad idea of yours to give the emperor the choice of an adopted daughter to enter the palace?!"
How could this be a bad idea? It was clearly an excellent idea!
However, Yongzheng was not a garrulous person, and no one in her palace would leak the news, and Concubine Dun's tone was only suspicion and questioning...
Shu Jin narrowed his eyes: "My idea? Who told you this?"
Concubine Dun frowned and said, "That's what everyone below said."
"Oh?" Shu Jin raised his eyebrows, "As the saying goes, everything must have a source. I'm curious, where did this saying come from?"
Concubine Dun was a little impatient: "Stop talking about him! How could the emperor choose two adopted daughters to enter the palace for no reason? And forcefully give me a girl who doesn't understand anything!"
That is Prince Zhuang's eldest daughter!
I feel pity for this child. At such an ignorant age, he was given a master like Concubine Atsushi.
"The emperor felt pity for your loss of blessing, so he chose a girl of about the same age as Gege." Shu Jin endured the displeasure in his heart and said patiently.
Concubine Dun's heart was slightly disturbed, her expression became more and more unhappy, and her tone was a bit harsh: "How can the blessings of this palace be compared to that of a eldest daughter?!"
Shu Jin's face darkened, "If you really feel that you are not compatible, you can ask the emperor to send Da Gege to the knees of the imperial concubine!"
Hearing this, Concubine Dun thought for a moment and then said: "This is a good idea! Prince Li's six princesses were raised by the Queen Mother, but Prince Zhuang's big princess should be given to the imperial concubine!"
Haha, Shu Jin finally figured it out. This little rice cake was still thinking about Concubine Xuan’s sixth brother! How could an adopted princess satisfy her ambition?
Concubine Dun immediately asked: "The idea of choosing an adopted daughter to enter the palace to prevaricate me...is it your idea?"
Shu Jin was speechless, of course! But of course I can’t admit it!
"How could you believe such unfounded rumors?" Shu Jinyi looked like the palace didn't understand.
Concubine Dun was silent for a moment, and then she became suspicious, "Could it be Concubine Xi..."
Don't mention it, this kind of rumor is probably a rumor created by Concubine Xi - it's just unfortunate that it's true.
Shu Jin sighed, Concubine Xi really wanted her to fight with Little Nian Gao, so that she could reap the benefits.
Concubine Dun also thought of this, and couldn't help but feel itchy with hatred, "This bitch! I haven't taken care of her yet, but she has plotted against me first!"
Do you still want to take care of Concubine Xi? Your level is still a bit inferior to that of Concubine Xi.
Shu Jin sighed: "Okay, one more thing is worse than one less thing. You have no evidence, so don't go to Concubine Xi to cause trouble." - Mainly because he was afraid that Xiao Nian Gao would go to Concubine Xi to confront Concubine Xi and be fooled by Concubine Xi again. That wouldn't be good.
Concubine Dun said bitterly: "We'll see!"
After seeing off Concubine Dun, Zhang Shoufa quickly approached and reported: "My dear, Concubine Dun has gone to the Leng Palace."
Okay, needless to say, this is to humiliate the Su family to vent their anger.
The current Su family is completely Concubine Dun's punching bag.
The emperor didn't care whether she lived or died, so Shu Jin could only turn a blind eye.
