Chapter 192 Fishing Royal Concubine (Third update)
It was slightly brighter the next day.
Shu Jin was like a serving maid, waiting for Yong Zheng to change his clothes and wash himself - this old man, carrying clothes, reaching for food and opening his mouth, looked like a disabled person.
Shu Jin had often dressed Hong Xiaozhou in the past few years, so he had never forgotten his dressing skills. He fastened the buttons one by one expertly, and tied the yellow belt, sachet, jade pendant and other items around His Majesty's waist.
My hands and feet are pretty nimble.
Yinzhen's eyebrows narrowed slightly, with a somewhat satisfied look on his face, "I have gone to the morning court, and your concubine does not need to come out to see me off."
Shu Jin knelt down gently and said "yes".
After the emperor left, Shu Jin sat back on the chair.
Aunt Lanruo and the girls Hanshuang, Luxue, Shuxiang, and Moxiang all had happy faces and smiled like pimps.
Shu Jin was so speechless that he almost rolled his eyes, "Okay, okay, just calm down!"
Although Aunt Lan Ruo suppressed the smile on her lips, her eyes were still filled with joy, "This is a good thing, why are you so embarrassed?"
Shu Jin said in a black line: "You guys kept vigil last night, it's not like you didn't know the inside story!"
Nothing really happened?!
Just sleep under a quilt!
Lan Ruo said sternly: "Regardless of whether it's true or not, the Emperor stayed with us in the Danning Palace last night."
Shu Jin Heixian, do I and he rarely want to stay overnight?! I really don’t want to share my fragrant and soft bed with a stinky man!
Okay, this is a bit harsh - although Yongzheng was a little older and his appearance was a little mediocre, his personal hygiene was not bad. Not only did he not stink, he also had a calm and light woody fragrance. Moreover, Yongzheng slept very honestly at night.
Not only did he not move his hands or feet, he didn't even move much throughout the night.
Shu Jin, on the other hand, was worried for half the night.
Yongzheng's drunken words last night, "Let's settle it down," really frightened her! At that time, she completely forgot that there was another half sentence before this sentence: "I'm a little tired."
He is tired, and of course his brother is tired too, that is, he doesn’t want to do that.
If he really wanted to do that, he would probably say something like "Spring night is rare".
Therefore, Yong Zheng came to Dan Ning Hall to spend the night purely to give her face as a noble concubine, and it was also regarded as an additional reward for the hard work of taking care of the palace affairs.
To be honest, it’s better not to get this kind of reward!
It tested her little heart so much!
God knows how long she had been frightened last night! She didn't dare to fall asleep until she felt the guy on the pillow breathing calmly and evenly.
Even so, the quality of sleep is still poor, and the dog emperor got up too early!!!
Damn it, I didn’t sleep well all night, and I had to get up early to help him change clothes and wash up!
Han Shuang's eyebrows danced with joy: "Last night was August 15th, the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival! It was not an ordinary day."
Shu Jin naturally knew that last night was unusual! Although the queen was probably a dead person now, she was still there after all!
Therefore, on such a day, Yongzheng stayed in her Danning Hall, which was really not the ordinary meaning.
Shu Jin narrowed his eyes. She had reason to suspect that what she said to Empress Dowager Wuya last night reached Yongzheng's ears. At that time, the only person serving in the Empress Dowager's back chamber was her confidant Lan Ruo.
and Ning Weizhong, the empress dowager's chief eunuch.
Of course Lan Ruo couldn't be Erwuzi, so the only possibility was that he was Ning Weizhong.
This Eunuch Ning, when Xiao Nian Gao tried hard to confront the Queen Mother, he was not loyal enough. At that time, Shu Jin only thought that Eunuch Ning was considering his own future and did not dare to offend his beloved concubine to death. Now it seems...
...People have long secretly surrendered to His Majesty Yongzheng.
"I feel dizzy. Please go back and take a nap."
The world is vast and nothing is as important as sleep.
After a good sleep, the sun will rise three times.
Aunt Lan Ruo has already divided the tedious palace affairs into categories and filled most of the desk.
Shu Jin rubbed his eyebrows and started a new day's work.
Although there are a lot of general affairs, in fact most of them are trivial matters that just need to be stamped. The Mid-Autumn Festival has just passed, and there is nothing major in the palace at the moment. If there is something major, Lan Ruo would have picked it out and be the first to present it.
She looked.
Just as the seal was being stamped, the leader eunuch Zhang Shoufa walked in quickly, bowed and said: "Your Majesty, there is something wrong with this slave, should I report it?"
Shu Jin raised his eyelids and said, "When did you become so verbose? If you have something to say, just say it."
Zhang Shoufa sneered: "After all, it's just a trivial matter..."
It may not be a humble person who can ask her chief eunuch to speak, "Speak!"
"Hey!" Zhang Shoufa quickly stepped forward and whispered, "Do you still remember that little Douzi?"
Shu Jin really can’t remember what it was about millet and beans.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Shoufa immediately said: "He is the little eunuch who was punished by Fourth Brother to kneel outside Yinghui Hall before and almost fainted from his knees."
Shu Jin suddenly realized, "What happened to him?" - It seemed that he was sent back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs by Concubine Xi.
Zhang Shoufa whispered: "I only found out recently that he was sent to Penglai Island to work as a coolie."
Penglai Island... of course is not the Penglai on the sea, but the small island on the sea of Penglai in Yuanmingyuan, on which a palace is being built. It is indeed hard work, and the people who do this work are all civilians recruited from various places - this is what is called
corvée.
It was not easy for the people at the bottom in ancient times. They had to work for the emperor at all times, and it was all hard work. These were all grown-up men, and some people died of exhaustion and illness every year. Not to mention that little Douzi, who seemed to be only twelve or thirteen.
Looks like...
Let a child do hard work...
"Is it Concubine Xi who said this?" Shu Jin asked.
Zhang Shoufa hurriedly said: "That's not true, it's all the people below who abused him." But it was obvious that he was just watching the dishes being served, just to cater to Yinghui Palace. Because at that time, Concubine Xi was the associate concubine.
Shu Jin sighed, "It's not easy for him either. Just quietly give him a relaxing job."
Zhang Shoufa asked in a low voice: "Do you want to be transferred to our Danning Hall?"
Shu Jin shook his head gently, "No need for the time being."
Zhang Shoufa nodded understandingly, "I don't have to worry about it, slave."
Shu Jin didn't know that after a few years of Zhang Shufa's life, he transferred this little Douzi to the Changchun Immortal Hall to serve Hong Zhou - of course, this is all a story later.
Shu Jin continued to seal, and Lan Ruo looked a little anxious: "My dear, please slow down." Did you really read it carefully?
Shu Jin raised his eyes lightly: "These are all personnel arrangements made by Chen Fu." - He is the emperor's man, there is no problem.
Lan Ruo covered her heart, "Then take a closer look!"
Shu Jin was speechless: "Didn't you approve this for me?"
...The master trusted him as much as always. Lan Ruo was very happy, but she couldn't laugh.
To be honest, if you want to fish, you can definitely fish.
In terms of skills in managing the harem, Lan Ruo is actually not inferior to her as a noble concubine at all! It is actually completely OK to completely leave the work to Lan Ruo. However, this will frighten Lan Ruo, so Shu Jin has to work a little bit.
The "documents" on the table were decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it only took an hour to stamp the last imperial concubine's seal.
Shu Jin stretched out and was about to have morning tea, when Zhang Shoufa came to report again: "Your Majesty, Concubine Xi wants to see you."
