Although she was suspicious, early the next morning, Concubine Dun dressed up beautifully and came to the imperial concubine's Chengqian Palace.
It was God's fault, and there were small snowflakes floating in the air. Concubine Dun was wearing a mink brocade cloak, carrying a stove, and sitting in a warm sedan, but her pretty face was bruised from the cold. She couldn't help but secretly cursed the concubine for what she was planning.
In the main hall of Chengqian Palace, the red charcoal was burning hot. The imperial concubine Geng was only wearing a brocade jacket, holding a lazy fat cat in her arms, looking very leisurely.
This look almost made Concubine Dun angry. She forced herself to give a hasty salute, "The concubine has been summoned. What are your orders?"
Shu Jin took a look at Concubine Dun's pretty blue face. The north wind was blowing outside, so she might be freezing. Then he pointed to the Arhat's couch and said, "Sit down and have a sip of hot tea before we talk."
The Arhat couch was covered with a golden soft satin mattress - a color that only noble concubines could enjoy.
Concubine Dun stepped on her feet and sat down. Shu Jin's eldest lady Shu Xiang respectfully served her a cup of sweet and delicious white jade milk tea. Concubine Dun took a few sips and felt the chill in her body subsided, and her face softened by three points.
.
Shu Jinwu followed the orange's smooth hair and said with a smile: "Yesterday the sun was shining brightly, but today the sky has changed. I thought that Concubine Dun was not coming."
Concubine Dun couldn't help but said in a sour tone: "The noble concubine has summoned me, how dare I not come?"
As she said that, she glanced at the study inside, "Didn't the imperial concubine get a new masterpiece? Where is it?"
Shu Jin straightened his black temples, smiled leisurely and said, "That's just an excuse."
Concubine Dun's pretty face was cold, and she couldn't help but put down the half-cup of milk tea she had not finished drinking, "The noble concubine is teasing me like this, I don't know what the purpose is?!"
Shu Jin looked at the beauty's angry look and couldn't help but cover her lips and smile.
Concubine Dun was instantly furious, "What's so funny?!"
Shu Jin smiled and said, "Don't you think Concubine Xi's recent behavior is a bit strange?"
Concubine Dun frowned, why did Concubine Xi get involved again?!
Shu Jin said quietly: "This is not the way to take care of a pregnant concubine. A few days ago, Concubine Xi hoped that I would lift Wang Changzai's order to raise a fetus behind closed doors."
Hearing this, Concubine Dun couldn't help but tighten her pretty face, "What does she mean?!" Before the fetal statue could sit firmly, she was in a hurry to let Mrs. Wang come out to show off?!
Shu Jin glanced at Lan Ruo, who immediately understood and sent all the maids and eunuchs except his confidants to wait outside.
Shu Jin looked at Concubine Dun again with a smile.
Concubine Dun suddenly felt that the matter was not simple, so she left only her confidant Zhilan and asked the other palace ladies to go to the outer hall to wait.
Shu Jin saw that the little rice cake was quite sensible, so he whispered: "If I say that Wang Changzai will most likely not be born in this pregnancy, do you believe it?"
Concubine Dun's face suddenly turned pale, "Wang's fetus is unstable?!"
Shu Jin said calmly: "I'm afraid that if I'm close to An Gui, I won't be able to keep her. That's why Concubine Xi is so anxious."
I'm anxious to find someone to take the blame.
Concubine Dun's heart skipped a beat, "No wonder, this old bitch!!"
This is an attempt to lure me into action so that I can be framed for murdering the emperor's heir!
"Damn it!!" Concubine Dun was so angry that her nose was almost crooked, and she hit her pink fist directly on the rosewood kang table without feeling any pain at all.
Shu Jin said calmly: "So, it's Wang Chang's birthday, you'd better not go, stay far away, and keep yourself clean."
Concubine Dun gritted her teeth and said, "I had no intention of going to Chang Zai for his birthday!"
Shu Jin nodded slightly, "That's good."
On Wang's birthday, Shu Jin didn't even plan to send gifts, but she had to make a show of it, so she ordered Chen Fu to prepare a birthday banquet for Wang Changzai according to the expenses of the concubine.
When a concubine celebrates her birthday, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will allocate funds. As a rule, the cost of a regular birthday is only a few dozen taels of silver. But the emperor had already given the Wang family the status of a nobleman, so Shu Jin simply was more generous and gave it to her birthday.
The banquet has been upgraded to another level.
In this way, he spent the emperor's money to do favors for himself and left himself clean.
I am so smart!
After Concubine Dun took a deep breath, she showed a delicate smile, and her mouth was like honey, "Thank you for reminding me, otherwise my sister will be miserably plotted by that hateful Concubine Xi!"
As she said this, Concubine Dun showed a pitiful expression.
Shu Jin: Ah, here we go again.
Concubine Dun's eyes rolled rapidly, "It's just that my sister still has one thing that I don't understand - how did my sister know that Wang Changzai's child could not be born?"
Shu Jin smiled lightly: "Of course someone told me."
Concubine Dun was startled, was there someone? The imperial concubine actually had an spy in Jingren Palace? Or was it that one of the concubines in Jingren Palace had leaked the secret to the imperial concubine? First of all, Wang Changzai could be ruled out - she couldn't keep the dragon fetus, and she must be very scared.
, naturally eager to find a scapegoat as soon as possible. And Guiren Ning... and the imperial concubine have long had a grudge, so it is impossible, so those Chang Zai can only agree...
Could it be that the imperial concubine promised some benefit?
Shu Jin: What the hell are you planning?
This little rice cake always likes to make small calculations. I hope she will stay away this time and not cause trouble.
"Okay, this is what I said. It's cold in winter, so Concubine Dun will go back to Yikun Palace to rest and recuperate. After waiting for a while, Jingren Palace will have its own answer." As long as Concubine Xi is not given a chance to blame the blame.
, then she will have no choice but to take the blame.
In fact, in the final analysis, it is at most a disadvantage in taking care of the emperor's heir, and the emperor will get a bad look later, and Wang Changzai falls out of favor, that's all. It is like the current situation of Concubine Mao, but it is not a big deal.
.
After all, the Wang family was only a minor presence, and even if she gave birth to an elder brother, she could not threaten anyone. The emperor should not be suspicious. Even if he was suspicious, a thorough investigation would only reveal an accidental miscarriage.
Shu Jin originally thought that as long as Little Rice Cake was careful to avoid it, Concubine Xi would definitely take the blame.
Unexpectedly, on Wang Changzai's birthday, something unexpected happened.
It was a sunny day. Although it was a bit cold, Jingren Palace was said to be very lively.
However, no one from the high-ranking concubines came. Concubine Mao and Concubine Mi also hid far away, and the gifts were plainly presented with silk and satin, so it was difficult to do anything.
Shu Jin, the imperial concubine, was even more of a thief. She didn't spend a penny on herself, but directly used the emperor's money as a favor.
Unexpectedly, at noon, Zhang Shoufa hurriedly came to report: "Mother, something serious has happened. Wang Changzai was frightened and blushed. I'm afraid she's going to have a miscarriage!"
"What? Frightened?" Why does this plot look familiar?!
Zhang Shoufa said: "Your Majesty heard about this and has already rushed to Jingren Palace. Madam, please leave as soon as possible."
Alas, who calls her the concubine in charge? It concerns the emperor's heir, and she has to deal with it no matter what.
