Chapter 180 The Royal Concubine is both a cat and a dog
In the winter of the fourth year of Yongzheng's reign, Concubine Xi's life was a bit difficult.
The fundamental reason is naturally the pillow style of small rice cakes.
There are two concubines, which means that Concubine Yu, Geng, is not an obstacle to Concubine Dun's rise to the throne, but Concubine Xi will be her biggest competitor.
Coupled with the deep grudges, Concubine Dun used all her strength to win favor and engage in slander.
Yongzheng didn't like Concubine Xi at all. After Concubine Dun's hard work, he became more and more neglectful of Yinghui Palace. He didn't visit Concubine Xi and her son for several months, and even Wang Yasheng of Yinghui Palace fell out of favor.
People in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are the best at flattering others.
Even if Imperial Concubine Yu specifically ordered not to deduct the portion of Yinghui Palace, Concubine Dun still had a way to make Concubine Xi's life uncomfortable. Even if the portion could not be withheld, the quality is still very different! Send it to Yinghui Palace.
The satin materials were of old-fashioned colors and outdated patterns, and even the red charcoal baskets used in winter were damp... Concubine Xi had to pay for the charcoal herself.
The gap between concubines who are favored and those who are not favored is so big.
Just by relying on favor, Concubine Dun could make Concubine Xi unhappy everywhere!
Thanks to Xiao Nian Gao's efforts, Shu Jin, the imperial concubine, lived an increasingly comfortable life. Concubine Xi had no time to deal with Concubine Dun, so naturally she had no time to cause trouble for her.
The concubines Mao and Mi at the bottom are all hers, and the nobles below are always there, so they naturally dare not mess with her.
In the midst of everything going well, the Empress Dowager fell ill again, and this time the illness came violently. As a noble concubine, Shu Jin had great responsibilities and had to go to Wanfang Anhe every day to take care of her illness.
During the day, he served the old lady, and at night he had to do the palace affairs.
Shu Jin had experienced firsthand the hard times that Concubine Xi had gone through in the past.
Fortunately, the Empress Dowager, an old lady, didn't bother anyone, and Shu Jin had Lan Ruo, who was helpful to Han Shuang and Lu Xue to share the worries, so he managed to persevere.
Moreover, the Empress Dowager did not stay ill for long this time.
In the twelfth lunar month, the condition of the Empress Dowager further deteriorated, and she passed away soon after.
Now, Shu Jin had a headache. How should she prepare for the funeral? She didn't quite understand this!
Fortunately, Yongzheng was a bit worried, so he immediately promoted Twelve Beile, restored him to the title of County Prince, and ordered him to preside over the funeral ceremony of the Empress Dowager.
The funeral expert is here!
Shu Jin could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
With Prince Lu taking the lead, Shu Jin could only arrange the harem, which was nothing more than the same routine as when Kang Mazi passed away, kowtowing and mourning every day.
Alas, the trouble is that the whole palace is affected.
So after the funeral, Xiao Nian Gao became ill.
Concubine Xi could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Probably because she was tired from tossing the little rice cakes, Concubine Xi did not cause any trouble in the following days. Perhaps she was afraid of further annoying the emperor.
In a blink of an eye, it was the spring of the fifth year of Yongzheng's reign. The fourth elder brother, Hongli, and the fifth elder brother, Hongzhou, were already six years old - false years. According to the ancestral rules, it was time to officially enter the school.
Although Shu Jin was reluctant to look at Hong Zhou Zai Zai, who was only in kindergarten age, he still tried his best to encourage him with a smile: "Study hard and don't be naughty, otherwise I will spank you."
Hong Zhou was quite in awe of Yongzheng's father, and when he heard these words, he felt his little butt tighten.
"Don't be afraid!" Shu Jin quickly reassured her, "As long as you behave well, your grandmother will not cause trouble for you."
He is an emperor and is very busy.
At this time, Zhang Shoufa walked in quickly to announce the good news: "Empress, the emperor has decreed that the Changchun Immortal Pavilion will be given to our fifth elder brother!"
Changchun Fairy Pavilion was originally the palace where the Empress Dowager Wu Ya spent her old age. However, after the Empress Dowager died of illness, Empress Dowager Wu Ya proposed to move it to Wanfang Anhe. Yongzheng was not stingy with such material requirements and immediately
He asked people to reorganize the former palace of the Empress Dowager, and chose an auspicious day to invite the Empress Dowager to live in it.
Therefore, the Changchun Fairy Pavilion became vacant.
"It's an advantage for you!" Shu Jin smiled, pinched his son's fat face, and asked Zhang Shoufa: "What about fourth brother?"
Zhang Shoufa said: "I gave you the Xinghua Spring Pavilion."
It's also a good place with pleasant scenery, but it's a little further away.
Zhang Shoufa smiled and said: "The most important thing to the emperor now is our fifth elder brother!"
Shu Jin sighed, it was just a slightly better palace. Then he smiled and said to Hong Zhouzai: "The Changchun Immortal Pavilion is very close to your Khan Ama. If you don't behave, you Khan Ama will do it."
I can go over and spank you right away."
Hong Zhou's fat face was horrified and he hurriedly covered his butt.
Shu Jin smiled from ear to ear, scaring the children, it was so fun.
I have to say that sometimes, Shu Jin is like a stepmother.
Aunt Lanruo couldn't help but couldn't stand it, "The empress has scared the fifth elder brother again! Our fifth elder brother is lively and lovely, and it's too late for the emperor to like him!"
This child is quite lively, but after enrolling in school, he will no longer be able to live a lively life of playing all day long. Therefore, Shu Jin has to give him a good warning to prevent him from not adapting to the new life of going to school.
Shu Jin sighed, "The fourth brother is also studying with you. Although we are not studying together, I'm afraid we will have to deal with him in the future. Don't quarrel or cause trouble with him, just study hard."
"I know, E Niang!" Hong Zhou's fat face was dull.
"Good boy~" Shu Jin stroked Hong Zhou's forehead, acting like a real mother, "The prince has a hard time studying, so don't tire yourself too much. If the servants around you are not good, you should tell your mother immediately, and give them food, clothing and chews."
If you don’t like it, you have to say it immediately, do you understand?”
She couldn't control anything else, but at least she could ensure that her son was eating and drinking well.
Hong Zhou nodded heavily and whispered: "Mother, can I take Bai Bai with me?"
Shu Jin:……
In the end, Shu Jin asked him to take the dog away. After all, it was his beloved pet that he had grown up with. It was a pity that Shu Jin would lose his pet.
But it doesn’t matter, just get two more.
After settling the Hongzhou cub, Shu Jin picked two more cute animals from the kennel, a half-grown Pekingese puppy, and an orange cat that was sent as tribute from Jianzhou. This Pekingese was also
The snow is white and flawless, so Shu Jin named it Yunzi, and the orange cat will be called Tangerine.
Although her son moved out, Shu Jin lived a good life with both cats and dogs.
No loss, no loss.
On such a day, Princess Huaike suddenly visited.
Come on, this princess came to her for nothing else, and it must be for noble Qi.
When the queen was in power before, Qi Guiren certainly had no chance to stand up.
But now that the queen has fallen and Shu Jin has become a concubine, the situation is naturally very different.
To be honest, Qi Guiren has little influence on her, and it doesn't matter whether she lets him go or not. But, why would she do something that is not beneficial?
Concubine Mi was having tea at the Danning Hall at that time and said, "Your Majesty, you might as well meet her. Princess Huaike is now the Emperor's only daughter. There is no harm in making friends with her."
Also, you can't always turn people away.
I made a mistake in the first few chapters...I made the Empress Dowager hang up twice...
