The Old Summer Palace in March in Yangchun is undoubtedly the most beautiful time. The peach blossoms in Wulingchun are flying all over the sky, and they are so beautiful that they are beyond human.
The third princess, Funkri Ilha, stumbled and trotted under the peach blossom tree, followed by a group of maids and palace ladies, fearing that the little princess would fall.
"Is Seventh Brother okay? My predecessor heard that he had a cough." Shu Jin and Concubine Mao were sitting together in the peach blossom pavilion, holding a peach blossom spring swallow fan in their hands to welcome the occasion.
Concubine Mao smiled and said, "It's much better now. It's just that Concubine Mi was too concerned about him and didn't dare to take him out for fear that he would catch a cold in the wind. I'm sorry for the seventh elder brother. He's a little guy, I'm afraid he's going to get bored."
Shu Jin couldn't help but laugh, children are always playful, and Feng Keli has been clamoring all day long for Concubine Mao to take him out to play.
"I heard that you made a promise in the palace." Shu Jin smiled jokingly.
Concubine Mao smiled hoarsely: "I prepared several beauties, but unexpectedly, this girl Chunxi came out on top."
Concubine Mao covered her face with a round fan and whispered: "That girl is really pretty. She is proficient in massage skills, so I stayed by her side to serve her. A month ago, the emperor came to see Feng Keli. I saw that the emperor looked tired, so he
I asked the girl to give the emperor a massage, but unexpectedly she fell into his eyes."
Shu Jin smiled secretly: The old man is getting old, so he pays attention to health.
"This massage...skin-to-skin contact is essential." - Massage cannot be done while wearing clothes.
Concubine Mao nodded, "The emperor doesn't often call her favors." - So those pretty girls have to be arranged later. Concubine Mao couldn't help but secretly think about new recommendations... Why not take advantage of Chun to agree?
Give the emperor a massage and ask other maids to come in and deliver medicinal oil??
Shu Jin noticed that Concubine Mao suddenly smiled like a pimp, and knew what she was thinking about. He coughed and said, "Take your time."
Concubine Mao smiled awkwardly, "I am really a vulgar person now."
Shu Jin hurriedly said: "It's all for the sake of the children, there's nothing vulgar about it."
After covering it up with one word, he continued to bring the topic to this peach blossom scene.
It was originally a sunny day today, but unexpectedly, after playing in Wulingchun for only a few hours, a north wind suddenly started blowing, and dark clouds gradually appeared over the Tianshan Mountains.
Immediately realizing that this was going to change, Concubine Mao quickly asked the nanny to pick up the third princess, and she and Shu Jin boarded the ceremonial carriage respectively, while Ma Liu asked the eunuch to rush back.
Wulingchun is located to the north of the Queen Mother's Wanfang Anhe. It is quite far from the concubine's residence. If we don't hurry up, we may get caught in the rain.
The eunuch trotted all the way, passing Wan Fang'an and the east side, when he suddenly saw a thin woman kneeling on the gravel road ahead...
Shu Jin took a closer look, wasn't it the Ning Guiren who had moved out of Dan Ning Hall less than a month ago?!
I am punished by kneeling in this area...
Shu Jin immediately thought of something, and because he didn't ask to stop, the carriage passed by quickly, as if it had nothing to do with him.
After all, Shu Jin had no time to rush back to his Danning Palace, so he went to Concubine Mao's Ningchun Palace to take shelter from the rain. Thunder rumbled outside the palace, and a heavy rain was about to fall.
Half of Zhang Shoufa's body was wet, and he hurried forward to report: "Your Majesty, I have inquired. It seems that Ning Guiren bumped into the Queen Mother Feng Jia, so she was punished to kneel for two hours."
At this moment, Concubine Mao was holding the third princess in her arms, with a motherly look on her face, but her tone was particularly cold: "Then don't pay attention."
Shu Jin thought for a while, but said: "Let's give her an umbrella." - She has no right to forgive the Queen Mother's punishment. But Ning Guiren still has uses...
Concubine Mao whispered: "Why bother? You can't kill anyone by kneeling for two hours."
Shu Jin smiled and said: "Being a good person has its benefits." For example, when she went to threaten Concubine Jin, Princess Xuan did not doubt her at all.
Concubine Mao was startled. She thought she was a noble concubine and her motherly heart was overflowing. She thought it was not a big deal, so she didn't say much.
"Come on, I'll send someone right now!"
Zhang Shoufa ordered the nimble little eunuch Xiao Yantai to run errands, while Concubine Mao took care of her with a smile and went to the inner hall to have milk tea and snacks.
When the little inkstone came back, she was still holding a wet umbrella in her hand. The corners of her robe and shoes were already soaked. "Reporting to your Majesty, when I went there, I saw that someone had already given an umbrella to Ning Guiren."
Zhang Shoufa asked with a straight face: "Can you see who it is?"
Xiao Yantai said: "This is Gui Fu, the eldest maid of Yinghui Palace."
Shu Jin was slightly startled, Concubine Xi's confidant?
Concubine Mao sneered, "Hey, Ning Guiren is so clever, but he didn't know when he climbed onto Concubine Xi's high branch!"
Shu Jin didn't notice either, maybe it was Concubine Xi who took the initiative to extend the olive branch.
She nodded slightly, "That's fine." Then she asked the young eunuch: "Ning Guiren...have you seen me?"
Xiao Yantai said: "I saw it too, but I'm just an errand boy. Ning Guiren may not recognize me."
Shu Jin thought to herself, even if she didn't recognize her, she could probably guess it. She was not someone who did good deeds without leaving her name.
"I know, remember to go back to the dining room to get a bowl of ginger soup."
"Hey! Thank you for the reward!"
The spring rain came and went very quickly, but after a while, the rain stopped. Concubine Mao called several people to greet her, and among them was the newly promoted Chun who agreed.
Sure enough, she is just an ordinary beauty, much inferior to An Changzai. There is also Zhang Changzai, who is already the old Changzai, needless to mention. An Changzai originally had his own palace in the garden, but later
After Concubine Mao became a concubine, she continued to live with Concubine Mao as if she were in the palace. Therefore, the Ningchun Palace was quite lively.
Shu Jin smiled and gave Chun Yao a string of red agate on his wrist.
Chun agreed, feeling a little apprehensive, "It's so valuable, my slave... I really don't dare to accept it."
Concubine Mao smiled warmly and said, "Take it, the imperial concubine has a lot of good things! When you serve the emperor from now on, you must have some decent jewelry."
Chun agreed and then took the string of eighteen agate beads with both hands.
Even though Concubine Mao always spoke harshly, she was gentle and kind to the people in her palace.
After chatting for a few words with Concubine Mao, Shu Jin left Ningchun Hall. Thinking that it was still early, he went to Qingxi Bookstore and visited Mi Concubine and her son. After seeing that everything was fine, he returned to Danning Hall with peace of mind.
.
Zhang Shoufa reported new first-hand news: "Chunxi Hall didn't even summon the imperial doctor, and only sent people to the imperial pharmacy to get the medicine for injuries."
Shu Jin said "Hmm", this was the Queen Mother, not to mention Ning Guiren, even if she was a beloved concubine, she had to admit it with gritted teeth.
This Queen Mother is really not a fuel-efficient lamp.
Yawning, Shu Jin glanced at Lan Ruo who was checking the accounts in front of the case in the inner room, and couldn't help but feel even more lazy. Lan Ruo is really useful.
Lu Xue held up a cup of bird's nest and offered it to her, "Your Majesty is very generous. She leaves everything to Aunt Lanruo and the servants, and she is not afraid of making mistakes."
Shu Jin smiled like a fat fox, "Stop talking nonsense, if you have some spare time, why not go in and help Lan Ruo!"
