In the summer of the fifth year of Yongzheng's reign, Wu Guiren became more and more favored, and gradually overshadowed Dun Fei's Nian family. The emperor's rewards were also flowing like a stream. A few of them were always there, and they promised to pay more compliments and have fun. This Chunxi Hall has since
It is becoming more and more lively, and every day is like a festival.
Shu Jin, the concubine in charge, also promptly hinted to the Ministry of Internal Affairs that no matter the proportions or tributes from various places, they would select the best ones and send them to Chunxi Hall.
Even when Wu asked for some satin that exceeded the quota, Shu Jin acquiesced.
Under her connivance, intentionally or unintentionally, something finally happened.
On this day, Shu Jin just woke up from his nap, and Zhang Shoufa hurriedly came to report: "Empress, something happened! Concubine Dun went to Chunxi Hall to investigate the crime. Concubine Mao has already gone to dissuade her urgently. Please go and have a look."
Concubine Dun's Fu Chun Hall, Mao Concubine's Ning Chun Hall and Wu Guiren's Chunxi Hall are all very close to each other, but her Dan Ning Hall is located on the east side of Qingyan in Kyushu, so it is quite a distance away.
Shu Jin was not in a hurry to ask what the fuss was about. It was just a trivial matter like a jealous woman.
When Shu Jin arrived at Chunxi Hall, the place was in full swing.
Concubine Mao was trying to console her sincerely: "For two pieces of satin, why bother? Oh, the imperial concubine is here! Please advise Concubine Dun. It's such a pity that such a well-made satin looks like this.
!”
At this moment, in the Chunxi Hall, two groups of people were at war with each other, and Concubine Mao stood in the middle, looking anxious and helpless. On the ground were two pieces of makeup satin, one with Fei Hong and a butterfly pierced with flowers, and one with peach red branches.
Peony, bright in color and gorgeous in pattern.
It's a pity that it was torn into pieces.
Shu Jin looked at Concubine Dun and Guiren Wu knowingly, "What's going on?"
Wu Guiren was on the verge of tears, pitiful and blessed: "The imperial concubine made the decision for me, but the concubine Dun suddenly broke into my concubine's palace and tore the concubine's new satin!"
Concubine Dun said bitterly: "Sister, concubine, this kind of makeup has always been reserved for concubines and above. When will it be the turn of a noble person to use such good materials?!"
Wu Guiren's pitiful little face sank.
Shu Jin hurriedly smiled and said: "The rules are the rules. But now that the noble Wu has obtained the Sacred Heart, the emperor often rewards him. It's just two pieces of satin. It's not surprising."
This is not considered arrogance. If it is not included in the regulations, it does not mean that you are not qualified to enjoy it.
Concubine Dun snorted coldly: "This is not a reward from the emperor! My concubine's maid saw with her own eyes that the servants of Chunxi Hall went to the satin warehouse to pick and pick these two pieces of satin material!"
Wu Guiren immediately said: "Your Majesty, my concubine asked you for permission on this matter a few days ago, and you approved it."
Concubine Dun couldn't help but her face darkened when she heard this.
Shu Jin looked like he suddenly realized, "That's what happened. This year, the Weaving Bureau brought more satin to the palace than in previous years. In addition to being filial to the Queen Mother and the concubines, there was also a lot of satin left for the concubines.
Wealthy. So Mr. Wu asked me for some good stuff, and I got it."
Concubine Dun choked, then she rubbed her neck and said: "Even if I am a noble concubine, I, the concubine Chen, have not had time to choose the material. When will it be her turn to be chosen by a noble person first? Does she still have a sense of dignity in her eyes?!
"
Shu Jin hurriedly smiled and reassured: "Wu Guiren is young and loves to be pretty. I think it was just a temporary joy, and I didn't think too much about it. Concubine Dun should not argue with her about this trivial matter."
Concubine Dun's face turned purple. As a concubine, she could only take the leftover materials from a noble man. Is this a trivial matter?
Shu Jin whispered: "For two pieces of material, if it reaches the ears of the Emperor, I'm afraid the Holy Heart will be displeased."
Thinking of Wu Guiren's recent favor, Concubine Dun couldn't help but hesitate a little. If the trouble got bigger, the emperor might not deal with it impartially! Concubine Dun, who was once the number one favorite concubine, understood better than anyone else that the emperor's
The heart is always biased!
Seeing that Concubine Dun wanted to back down, Wu Guiren took advantage of the situation and said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, my concubine, although I have a low position, I can't let Concubine Dun bully me like this! I haven't even gotten up to date with this concubine, and she has become a concubine."
This concubine is really aggrieved!"
Shu Jin: Hahaha, if you hadn’t deliberately picked the ingredients before Concubine Dun, how could this have happened?
Shu Jin said with a broad face: "Okay, okay, it's just two pieces of material. I asked the satin library to select some more and give them to you. As for Concubine Dun, I also asked the satin library to add a few more pieces to you.
Material, let’s end this matter.”
Concubine Dun was so angry that her nose was crooked. Is she someone who cares about a few pieces of material? She couldn't swallow this breath!
Seeing this, Concubine Mao hurriedly stepped forward and tugged on Concubine Dun's gorgeous sleeves, and whispered: "Mr. Wu is young and ignorant, just let her go."
Concubine Dun was so angry that her face turned purple. In the past, others only gave in to her. Now she wants to let a disrespectful little nobleman do it! How unreasonable!
Shu Jin secretly thought, Concubine Mao is not trying to persuade her to make peace, she is clearly adding fuel to the fire.
Shu Jin hurriedly signaled to Concubine Mao that she was not going too far, and said: "It's a hot day, don't make trouble. Concubine Mao will send Concubine Dun back to rest for me."
Concubine Mao was stunned and didn't want to continue? But there was no rush, Concubine Dun and Guiren Wu had finally formed a relationship, and there would naturally be plenty of fun to watch in the future.
"Yes, I have resigned first." Concubine Mao took the reluctant Concubine Dun and left first.
Wu Guiren Jiao Didi came to Shu Jin and bowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for making the decision for me."
As he said that, Wu Guiren showed a worried look again, "But I am really scared. Concubine Dun is so domineering. If she makes things difficult for me in the future, wouldn't it be very dangerous for me?"
Shu Jin said calmly: "Then don't mess with her."
Wu Guiren was choked by such "frank" words, "Concubine... I didn't mean it."
Shu Jin then said: "Then you should pay more attention in the future and don't do such inappropriate things again. After all, Concubine Dun is a concubine. If there is a big trouble, you may not be able to take advantage."
Wu Guiren was a little angry, "Concubine——"
"Okay!" Shu Jin was also annoyed, "I have other things to be busy with, so I'll go back first."
Wu Guiren was a little anxious, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Your Majesty... can you take care of me more in the future?"
Shu Jin raised his eyebrows. Did he not give up and join her disciple? After all, her disciple Li Qingyi gave birth to an elder brother and became a concubine. Song Xianying even became a concubine and picked up a daughter for nothing. Who wouldn't be jealous!
"Don't I take care of you enough?" Shu Jin pretended not to understand.
Wu Guiren bit his lip and said, "The concubine's Chunxi Hall is too close to the Fuchun Hall, and I am really scared. Can I let my concubine live in another hall?"
Another palace?
There are two palaces in the East and West where the concubines of Yuanmingyuan live, but there are only four main halls. This is no longer a hint, but an explicit statement.
Shu Jin said calmly: "You have the emperor's favor, what do you have to be afraid of? Didn't Concubine Dun do anything to you? Wu Guiren should live in Chunxi Hall with peace of mind."
After that, Shu Jin walked away, leaving Wu Guiren angry and annoyed, stamping his feet repeatedly, "What's wrong with me?!"
In terms of ability, she is at least as good as Concubine Mi and Concubine Mao!
