After Shu Jin's kindness and power, the side hall became much more peaceful.
The palace maid named Baozhu was punished by Ning Guiren to be a third-class palace maid, and the errand of going to the kitchen to bring food was also handed over to Yinzhu and another young eunuch.
As the summer heat recedes and the autumn days become cooler, Ning Guiren's morning sickness has finally eased, and her appetite has gradually broadened. Only now does she feel bold enough to occasionally order bird's nest, fish maw, black-bone chicken, etc... Shu Jin also agrees to it.
Already.
Anyway, the emperor rewarded her very generously, and this expenditure can be easily covered.
When the emperor came occasionally, Ning Guiren no longer complained, and even became sweeter. She often complimented her on her virtue and magnanimity when the emperor reluctantly paid attention.
Haha, is this called cannibalism?
This Mr. Ning Gui is quite easy to bribe.
On this day, the most beloved concubine, Concubine Dun, came to Shu Jin's Danning Palace. Shu Jin thought of Guiren Ning in the side hall and didn't want to send her away quickly, but Concubine Dun accompanied her with a smile and brought precious gifts.
"This is the Huizhou ink 'Purple Jade Light' that was just paid tribute a few days ago. It was a gift from the emperor. I tried it out. Not only did the paper fall like paint, the color is black and moist, but the smell is also very elegant. I thought that my sister is also an elegant person, so I specially
I picked out a few pieces and presented them to my sister." Concubine Dun said softly, but Shu Jin couldn't help but hit the smiling person.
This little rice cake, when not causing trouble, is really pleasing to the eye.
No wonder Yongzheng liked this one.
Although Shu Jin was not considered an elegant person, she also knew that this Hui ink was the best among tribute inks, and she found it very good when she used it on daily basis.
This box of Huizhou ink given by Concubine Dun is not only of first-class quality, but also uses gold lacquer to draw flowers and birds. It is very exquisite and would be a great thing to keep for collection.
Shu Jin picked up a piece of ink and smelled it, "It is indeed more fragrant than the Hui ink in previous years."
Concubine Dun smiled and said, "Isn't that right? I brought an extra box and wanted to give it to Ning Guiren. She is pregnant and will inevitably be bored. It is also good to read more and write more."
Shu Jin raised his eyebrows. Ever since he came to Danning Palace, Ning Guiren rarely went out. Even if he did go out, he would not go too far away. After a few months, he no longer interacted with Concubine Dun, so there was no conflict.
.For a while, the harem was much more harmonious.
This little rice cake is not going to bring peace to the harem.
"Of course you have good intentions, but the fragrance of this ink... is so fragrant, and it is probably mixed with musk. If this thing is given to Ning Guiren, I am afraid that Concubine Dun will not be able to escape the suspicion of murdering the emperor's heir." Shu Jin said slowly.
.
Concubine Dun was also stunned for a moment, and her face turned ugly, "Musk?! There is actually musk in the ink?! When I was pregnant -"
Shu Jin secretly thought, Concubine Dun seems to really not know.
Then he smiled and said: "Of course not all inks contain musk. This kind of particularly fragrant and high-quality ink contains musk. This musk is a precious spice and is not found in ordinary inks."
Concubine Dun couldn't help but quickly recall the ink she used when she was pregnant... She still couldn't remember it, because she was too tired at that time and rarely used ink. Thinking of this, she breathed a sigh of relief.
.
But immediately, Concubine Atsun couldn't help but smile bitterly. Her blessing had long since died, so what's the use of caring about whether it's musk or not?
In fact, Shu Jin is exaggerating. Secondly, the musk in the ink stick will not cause tire slipping at all.
Besides, who the hell is holding an ink stick and sniffing it all day long?
As for women who are not pregnant, there is no hindrance.
Shu Jin hurriedly smiled and asked Lan Ruo to put away the Hui ink, "Actually, even the best Hui ink contains very little musk. As long as it is not used every day, there is no problem. However, if it is given to Ning Guiren,
, I’m just afraid that she will be too worried.”
Speaking of Guiren Ning, Concubine Dun had a look of disdain in her eyes, "I heard that Guiren Ning is living very comfortably now. Even if she wants to eat dragon liver and phoenix gallbladder, the empress will try to get it for her."
Shu Jin squinted his eyes. This little rice cake knew Ning Guiren's every move very well!
Is it because the eunuch of the side palace is talking nonsense, or... Xiao Nian Gao bribed Ning Guiren's people?
It looks like it makes people stare at the side hall.
Concubine Dun smiled sweetly: "Why do you treat me like a concubine? These are all the things Xiao Lingzi, the eunuch next to Guiren Ning, shouted about."
Shu Jin rubbed his eyebrows, Ning Guiren, Ning Guiren, why are the slaves around you so careless?
Concubine Dun smiled and said: "Concubine, it looks like it's very hard for your concubine to take care of Guiren Ning."
Shu Jin said: "It's ten months to conceive, the melon will be ripe and the pedicle will fall off, and it will be here soon."
Concubine Dun said with tea in her tea: "This Ning Gui is really lucky to have the concubine taking care of her like this. I don't know if she will be grateful to the concubine for her kindness if she gives birth to a prince in the future."
Who expects her to be grateful?
Shu Jin said sternly: "I am just doing things according to the order." Anyway, the emperor gave her money, so she took a part-time job at that time.
The corners of Concubine Dun's red lips raised slightly, and her voice was soft and charming: "I just feel sorry for my sister."
Okay, okay, no more tea.
Concubine Dun suddenly came close to Shu Jin's ear and whispered: "Concubine, sister, you have to be more careful. This Concubine Ning is not a peaceful person. If you don't protect everything, you will bite your sister back."
Shu Jin only felt that his ears were itching, this little rice cake, this little voice seemed to have a hook.
No wonder he makes mistakes several times and is favored again and again.
She is a woman who feels she has been seduced, let alone that scumbag Yongzheng.
"Thank you, Concubine Dun, for reminding me. I know what I know." Anyway, the side palace has to keep a close eye on it.
Only then did Concubine Dun sit upright, holding a round fan in her hand to partially cover her face, "As long as your sister is aware of this, I will leave now."
After sending away the little rice cakes, Lan Ruo couldn't help frowning and said: "Concubine Dun is becoming more and more charming."
Shu Jin was speechless, she was trying to charm me, what are you so angry about?
Aunt Lan Ruo whispered again: "Fortunately, she is infertile, otherwise... our fifth elder brother would probably have no place."
Shu Jin smelled the fragrance of ink remaining on her hands and said to herself: "She can't give birth, so naturally she can only stare at others." Concubine Dun came here today just because she was afraid that Guiren Ning would join her and get her protection, and Concubine Dun would just
There is no chance to take away his son.
So, the little rice cake is here to sow discord.
In fact, she and Ning Guiren were just at odds with each other, and they would part ways sooner or later without her provocation.
Aunt Lan Ruo frowned: "Is she interested in the child in Ning Guiren's belly? However, with Ning Guiren's status and favor, if she gives birth to a prince, she will most likely be made a concubine."
Yes, how does the little rice cake want to win the son?
Killing his mother? Under the protection of Dan Ning Palace, how could Shu Jin give Concubine Dun such an opportunity?
Concubine Dun is so favored now that she wouldn't take such a risk if she thought about it.
It’s not just Ning Guiren that she needs to be careful about. This little rice cake is also a restless master.
Shu Jin rubbed her eyebrows. Now she had to take care of the palace affairs, take care of Ning Guiren, and also prepare for the third elder brother's Hongshi wedding.
Mom, it’s really not easy for me.
"Lan Ruo, you can handle the rest of the palace affairs for me." Shu Jin decided to go back and catch up on some sleep.
Lan Ruo wailed in her heart:...My queen, your laziness has returned again!!!!
