Concubine Mao's eyes were filled with tears, "I will give you this old life in my life, and it is not enough to repay your kindness!"
Shu Jin smiled and said, "That's obvious. We have been friends for half our lives!"
Concubine Mao was weeping and nodding her head.
"After you have been granted the title of concubine, we will slowly think of ways to do it. It would be best to ask Concubine Mi to fill the last vacancy of the fourth concubine..." Shu Jin said with a smile. Instead of taking advantage of outsiders in the future, it is better to give it to one of your own.
Concubine Mao pondered for a moment and couldn't help but whisper: "Mi Concubine has the seventh elder brother under her knees. Do you really... don't mind at all? Don't forget that Mi Concubine was also born in the Han Army Banner."
Even if Concubine Mi has no other thoughts now, what about the future?
Shu Jin smiled and said: "The three of us have been friends for many years, what else can we not trust?" The important thing is that Mi Bin has already given up on the dog emperor, so the three of them are of the same mind.
Concubine Mao nodded slowly, "It doesn't matter, you are a noble concubine, and there is a fourth elder brother above you, so I can trust Concubine Mi and her son."
Shu Jin understood what Concubine Mao meant. Firstly, she was suppressed by her position, and secondly, she had a common competitor... Hongli's biological mother was the Concubine Xi, Niu Hulu, from a well-known Manchu family!
At this moment, Su Changzai's anxious voice came from the confinement room in the inner room of the side hall: "Where is the child? My child - is he an elder brother?!"
Soon a palace maid in the inner room replied: "She is a lovely little princess."
Then Shu Jin heard Su Changzai's sad cry.
The crying sound woke up the third princess who was sleeping soundly in the Xiaonuan Pavilion. The woman's cry and the baby's cry came and went, making the eardrums hurt.
Concubine Mao frowned, and quickly and carefully picked up the third princess, coaxing her softly, "How can the third princess sleep peacefully when she is crying like this?"
Shu Jin whispered: "You coax him first, and I'll go in and take a look."
In the confinement room, the smell was even stronger, and Shu Jin couldn't hold her breath. She strolled to Su's bed and said, "Okay, don't cry, the emperor still likes the third princess very much."
As for the third princess's request to be raised by Concubine Mao, since the emperor had not issued an order yet, Shu Jin was not in a hurry to make it clear. Anyway, Mrs. Su knew in her heart that no one, regardless of the prince or princess, would be happy with her.
"Your Majesty the Imperial Concubine..." Mrs. Su dragged her frail body and rolled down from the bed. With a thud, she knelt down at her feet, "How could she be a princess?! There must have been a mistake somewhere!"
Su Shi's sallow little face was covered with tears, and she was crying really miserably.
Shu Jin rubbed the center of his eyebrows and said, "I will try to keep you here as long as possible. During the confinement period, you just have to take care of your childbirth."
Su's eyes were filled with despair. Even if the imperial concubine was kind and willing to keep her for a few more days, in the end, she still had to go to the cold palace?! Thinking about the days when she was tortured by Concubine Dun, Su felt like she was facing an abyss.
"I originally thought that the princess was born after you were pregnant for ten months, and I originally planned to stay with you at least during this month. But you look like this... It would be better to take the princess to the main hall of the palace and take care of it temporarily. Left
It's only a few steps away. If you want to see the princess, I can ask the nanny to hold her for you at any time." Shu Jin tried his best to explain it to her in a gentle tone.
But at this moment, Mrs. Su was only worried about her own future. She had no time to care about this daughter who could not save her at all. She just nodded repeatedly, "It is the princess's blessing to be raised under the lap of a noble concubine."
Shu Jin nodded, comforted Mrs. Su a few more words, and hurriedly asked his subordinates to clean up the Nuan Pavilion. Taking advantage of the clear and warm weather at noon, someone carried the wrapped three princesses to the main hall.
Concubine Mao also participated in the whole process and had a lunch at Danning Hall. After eating and drinking, she was reluctant to leave until the evening.
After going to bed, Concubine Mao came back to her senses, said goodbye to Shu Jin with a smile, and went back to Qingxi Bookstore in a hurry.
Aunt Lan Ruo smiled and dipped the imperial concubine's gold seal into the ink mud, then offered it to her with both hands, "This Concubine Mao really loves the third princess."
Shu Jin finished stamping and then stretched, "This is the first time I've seen her look like this."
Even so, the third princess will be loved by others in the future.
There is nothing to say about Concubine Dun. Unless she is her own biological princess, other people would not care about her.
Yongzheng was extraordinarily slow this time, and it took seven or eight days before he officially issued the decree, concubine Mao of the Jin Dynasty.
He also ordered the imperial concubine Geng to hand over the three princesses to Concubine Mao for their care when they are one month old.
Compared with the ownership of the third princess, this decree really shocked the Sixth Palace.
After all, Maobi was old, had no children, and was a concubine, so how could she suddenly become a concubine?
Needless to say, it must be the credit of Concubine Yu! This concubine is so generous. She just gives a princess away, but she also comes with a concubine!!
For a moment, I don’t know how many people were red-eyed. Especially Qi Guiren, who felt regretful. If he had known that Concubine Yu was so generous, he should have stayed in Dan Ning Hall and tried to curry favor with her that day!
Now that Concubine Mao occupies a seat, there is only one vacancy in the position of the fourth concubine. But now there is Concubine Mi above her head! Qi Guiren suddenly remembered that Concubine Mi seemed to be very close to the concubine!
The anxious Qi Guiren immediately took inventory of his private treasury, gritted his teeth and took out the valuable treasures inside, and then went to Danning Palace again.
Shu Jin looked at the two-foot-tall white jade Guanyin statue, speechless and choked for a moment, "It's so good, why did Mr. Qi give me such a precious thing?"
Still sending children to Guanyin!!
Qi Guiren licked his old face and smiled: "This Guanyin was a gift from the emperor when I was pregnant. I have always thought about thanking the concubine for her kindness, but at the moment I don't know what to give. I think
After much deliberation, this thing is the most suitable for a noble concubine."
Shu Jin said blackly, "I already have a prince, so it would be more appropriate for noble Qi to give this son to Concubine Dun."
Qi Guiren secretly cursed, who would give it to that vixen? What’s more, Nian Shi is already infertile! If he gave her this gift, Nian Shi would most likely be so angry that he would throw Guanyin down and say, “The imperial concubine is joking.”
Shu Jin smiled and waved his hand: "Although this thing is valuable, I don't need it. I would like to keep this Avalokitesvara to give to Hongshi and Fujin in the future."
Being rejected in person, Qi Guiren felt a little embarrassed, "I just want to express my gratitude to the imperial concubine..."
Don't make trouble for me, I will be Amitabha.
"Okay, I appreciate your kindness. I still have to deal with palace affairs, so I'll go back first." Shu Jin picked up the tea cup, as if seeing off guests.
With a look of resentment on his face, Qi Guiren had no choice but to take the white jade Guanyin he took out with great difficulty and left the Danning Hall in disgrace.
The eldest maid, Hanshuang, couldn't help but smile and said: "This noble Qi, if you say she has not grown, she has learned to please people. But if you say she has grown, she has only grown a little."
Shu Jin couldn't help but knocked on Hanshuang's forehead: "Don't talk about concubines!"
Hanshuang shrank her neck and lowered her head, "I won't talk nonsense when I'm outside."
