Chapter 293: Secretly building a reserve, secretly making me lonely!
In the midsummer of the 16th year of Yongzheng's reign, the scenery of Danning Palace remained the same.
There were cicadas outside, but Shu Jin was lazily lying on the small couch in the Bisha cupboard and taking a nap. The white ice cubes in the large blue and white porcelain water dragon pattern tank were gradually melting, and the whole Bisha cupboard was filled with coolness and comfort.
Cool.
The crackling sound of abacus came from the study room opposite, which was really clear and crisp.
Aunt Lu Xue personally brought the iced watermelon dew to the study room, "Fu Jin, let's take a sip to cool down."
Mrs. Wu Zaku thanked her with a smile, and glanced at the Bisha cabinet again - the imperial concubine must have been asleep.
The cool watermelon juice cooled down the heat and quenched thirst. After drinking it all, Wu Zaku continued to lower his head and count for the second time.
Amidst the chirping of cicadas, Shu Jin took a comfortable nap, and then saw Mrs. Wu Zaku walking in holding the accounts of the harem, "Mother, the accounts have been verified."
Shu Jin glanced at the time on the Western clock, then pointed to a few books on the desk beside him and said: "This is the detailed schedule of the banquet in the palace in recent years. Take it back and read it slowly."
Mrs. Wu Zaku couldn't help but be startled. If it was just a matter of settling accounts, then there was a grand banquet in the palace... Where could she, as a junior, be qualified to observe it?
Shu Jin saw Wu Zaku's uneasiness, so he smiled and said, "It's just a look, it doesn't matter."
Wu Zaku could only say: "Yes, I will observe carefully."
Shu Jin nodded, children can be taught.
After Wu Zhaku left, Lu Xue just reached out and reported to Shu Jin: "Your Majesty, Wufujin has done the accounting twice, and the accounts are consistent before being presented to you."
Shu Jin thought: No wonder it took longer than she expected...
She yawned, "I'm quite cautious."
Just a little too careful.
Lu Xue said with a smile: "Fu Jin is cautious and thoughtful, which is a good thing."
Shu Jin rubbed his sleepy eyes and said, "I can finally have a rest." - I caught a strong man and it felt really boring~
Lu Xue was angry in her heart: Fujin had only been here for a few days, but the empress already asked her to learn palace affairs!
In the eyes of others, this is because the empress values Fujin, but in Lu Xue's heart, it's because the empress's lazy nature is showing up!
"Since Sanbeile and Sibeile separated their palaces, the palace has become more peaceful." Shu Jin said with a smile.
Lu Xue couldn't help but spat: "It's peaceful inside the palace, but it's very lively outside the palace! Sanbeile is fine, both Dong E's and Gu's families keep a distance from each other. Sanbeile is a bit arrogant and refuses to make friends with each other. But
Sibeile, however, is very polite and polite. He interacts with the Fucha family and the Niu Hulu family all day long, and he is very attentive!"
Shu Jin said calmly: "This is expected."
Lu Xue smiled again and said, "But I heard that Master Ma Qi has submitted a letter to become an official."
"Oh?" Could it be that he was frightened by Corporal Li Xian's Four Belles?
Lu Xue whispered: "It's a pity that the emperor refused."
The national policy of spreading the land from one person to another was in full swing. Ma Qi was an extremely useful tool, and Yongzheng was not willing to ask him to retire.
At this moment, Zhang Shoufa walked in quickly with sweat dripping down his face and reported: "Your Majesty, the Emperor is here!"
Why did Yongzheng come to her on such a hot day?
Suspicious, Young Master Shu Jin had to get up, tidy up his appearance, and greet Uncle Yongzheng.
They hadn't seen each other for a few days, and Shu Jin only looked at this old man...he was simply an old man. The work of writing papers had made the emperor look older, his eyes drooped, and his crow's feet became a little deeper.
Shu Jin hurriedly offered watermelon dew that was refreshing to relieve the heat, and said with concern: "I haven't seen you for a few days, and the emperor has lost a lot of weight."
Yongzheng took a slow sip, and his eyebrows relaxed slightly, "It's hot, so naturally I have no appetite."
As he said that, Yong Zheng glanced at Geng's plump face and said, "You are as rich as ever."
Shu Jin smiled dryly and said, "Now that the three and four beiles are in separate offices, I naturally have much less work to do."
Yong Zheng raised his eyebrows: "I heard that you often ask Wu Zaku to share your worries recently?"
Shu Jin said with a smile: "I just took the time to teach her. Fortunately, she is smart and thoughtful, and can learn anything quickly. If the emperor allows it, I really want to share my worries with her."
Yongzheng's tone was neither salty nor cool: "You don't care about power at all."
Shu Jinnan said with a smile: "I am getting old, and I am not as energetic as I was in the early years. That's why I thought of asking Wu Zaku to learn it early."
Yong Zheng couldn't help but look at Mr. Geng's face. It was plump and white, with rosy skin and almost no wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and eyebrows. Is this also called "old"? Thinking about Mr. Geng's lifespan... Yong Zheng couldn't help but look at it. All jealous.
Could it be that the lazier this person is, the longer he will live?!
"I am really old!" Even if he refused to admit defeat, seeing his wrinkled face in the mirror every day, Yong Zheng had to admit that he was getting old.
Shu Jin cursed: You are quite self-aware.
But he was busy complimenting him: "The emperor is so prosperous, how can he be old? I think it's just that he has been too busy recently, so he feels this way."
Yong Zheng sighed, "I am over fifty years old. At this age, I can never deceive others."
Shu Jin couldn't deny it for the moment and couldn't help but be speechless.
Yong Zheng waved his hand and said, "That's all. You can take care of your daughter-in-law as long as you like." It would be better to give her some guidance earlier to save her from being in a hurry.
Geng has never been fond of power, which can barely be considered an advantage.
Shu Jin breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said "yes".
Yongzheng drank all the watermelon dew in the cup, and suddenly his face became solemn, "Now some Confucian officials in the previous dynasty have mentioned the matter of establishing a crown prince again -" As he said that, Yongzheng's eyes were like eagles, staring at Mr. Geng's gentle and wealthy face. Face, "What do you think?"
Shu Jin couldn't help but feel a chill running down her spine. She hurriedly lowered her head and said, "Over the years, Your Majesty, Dudu has been the most kind to my concubine, mother and son. To this day, how can I dare to go beyond the rules? How can I be dissatisfied?"
Yong Zheng looked at Mr. Geng's posture carefully, and then his expression softened, "You are the most law-abiding, I know it in my heart."
You understand the devil! If you really understood, you wouldn’t ask me this!
Shu Jin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then raised his gentle face and said humbly: "I am a concubine with a humble body. Over the years, I have been very scared in my heart, always feeling that I am not worthy of this honor."
Yongzheng couldn't help but laugh: "This is too modest."
Shu Jin thought to himself: This can be regarded as coaxing this old guy back who was suspicious and seriously ill.
Less than three days after leaving Danning Hall that day, Yongzheng officially issued an order to seal the edict on establishing the crown prince in a box and place it behind the Zhengda Guangming Hall. He said that he would not open the box and read out the edict until a hundred years later.
This is the so-called "secret reserve".
It's just that... the emperor has three eldest sons. The third elder brother and the fourth elder brother all have separate houses, and they are only Baylor, but the fifth elder brother Hongzhou is a unique prince. Anyone who is not blind can see where the Sacred Heart is.
