Liu Guiren and Ying Guiren had a restless night, but Shu Jin had a good night's sleep.
It's a pity that there are so many things nowadays, Shu Jin can't sleep in, and has to get up at dawn.
The eldest palace maid Shuxiang led four or five smart second-class palace maids to serve her mother-in-law, change clothes and wash up. The warmth in the pavilion was as warm as spring, and Shu Jin felt even more tired, wishing he could sleep until the sun was up.
Oh, what a pain it is to get up early!
Although Shu Jin's appearance is mediocre, her face is no longer delicate, and there are even fine lines at the corners of her eyes, her hair is still black and thick.
Shuxiang applied osmanthus oil on her hair and said with a smile: "Your Majesty's hair is so beautiful, black and shiny, not a single white hair! Yesterday, I saw that Concubine Mao had a lot of silver threads in her hair!"
"
Such sweet words made Shu Jin's lips curl up slightly, "Concubine Mao is a little older than me after all, and besides, she has to worry about the life-long affairs of the third princess..."
Shuxiang smiled sweetly: "My queen also has to worry about the future of the fifth elder brother, and she also has to take care of the palace affairs! It is always harder than my wife Mao Fei."
Shu Jin gave the girl an angry look: "You, just because you see Concubine Mao as having a good temper, now you dare to criticize her in front of me!"
The second-class palace maid Luosu, who was standing behind Shu Jin holding a mirror, smiled and said: "It's not the concubine Mao who has a good temper, but the concubine's master who has a good temper. Otherwise, how could Sister Shuxiang dare to say this in front of you?"
Luosu is a cute little palace maid with a round face. She eats too many sweets on weekdays, so she looks a little chubby. Well, she looks even cuter.
It's not that Shu Jin didn't have any beautiful palace maids, it was just that they didn't have the style that Yongzheng liked.
Shuxiang gave Luo Su an angry look: "You damn girl, you talk more and more because of your concubine's favor!"
Luosu giggled and hurriedly adjusted the angle of the small mirror in her hand to reflect the newly combed swallowtail bun into the large mirror in front of her, "My Lady, take a look, Sister Shuxiang's buntailed bun is pretty good, right?"
Shu Jin nodded: "Yes, my craftsmanship is getting better and better."
The scholar who was praised was delighted.
Although the name Shuxiang seems to be very cultured, this girl is not a big character, and she doesn't like to follow Aunt Lan Ruo and Aunt Lu Xue. She is very dexterous with her hands, and she is very good at combing her hair.
Shu Jin had just finished packing, and was about to leave to serve the soup in front of the emperor, when he saw the tender-faced young eunuch Xiao Lizi coming in to report, "Your Majesty, Mr. Liu and Mr. Ying are asking to see you."
Shu Jin looked confused, what were they doing?
Moreover, they both went to bed in the middle of the night last night. If they didn't catch up on their sleep, why did they come to Dan Ning Hall?
But now she couldn't bear to neglect the emperor's beloved concubines, so she said: "Let them come in."
After a while, two pretty little beauties named Pingting came in and curtsied, which was quite eye-catching.
"Let's all get back together." Shu Jin had a gentle expression on his face.
Liu Guiren and Ying Guiren both looked a little nervous. After all, one of them stayed up half the night, and the other stayed up until dawn.
"You two worked hard last night, why don't you have a good rest today?" Shu Jin asked.
Liu Guiren sighed and said, "Thank you for your concern, my concubine. It's just that my concubine and sister Ying couldn't sleep after seeing that the emperor's dragon body has not healed after so long."
Haha, how can you be so sincere towards a bad old man who is old enough to be your grandfather?
But Shu Jin could only keep his eyes open and tell lies, "Oh, I've been having trouble sleeping and eating lately."
Changli was going on maternity leave, so of course she didn't get enough sleep. The emperor was sick, so she couldn't afford to eat well, so naturally she didn't eat well either!
Liu Guiren and Ying Guiren ignored each other, and Ying Guiren bent his knees: "Since the imperial concubine is also worried about the dragon body, can you...please comfort the emperor to get well?"
Shu Jin:??
The Dog Emperor is a workaholic, who can persuade him to stop?!
Shu Jin could only sigh and said: "I also want to persuade you, but the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics!"
Liu Guiren and Ying Guiren looked at each other.
Liu Guiren gritted his teeth and said, "Then can you ask the fifth elder brother to persuade the emperor?"
Shu Jin slandered: You are smart and know that your brother can be involved in politics.
Shu Jin looked helpless and said: "How can a son not advise him on this kind of thing? But the emperor won't listen, so what can Hong Zhou do?" - For this reason, Hong Zhou was almost scolded as a grandson!
The noble lady became anxious, and she said with tears in her eyes: "Mother, you are a noble concubine. I beg you to think of a way. You must be able to find a way!"
Shu Jin:???
You think I'm a robot cat!
Shu Jin had no choice but to say calmly: "Oh, I'll think of another way."
Although she wished that the emperor died suddenly from overwork, she had to make a show of it.
Liu Guiren and Ying Guiren regarded these words as perfunctory, but they were really helpless. The imperial concubine said it for this reason. They two little nobles couldn't force the imperial concubine, right?
The two of them had a look of resentment on their faces, so they had no choice but to kneel down.
Shuxiang finally couldn't help but spat, "This noble man has nothing to do, so he is yelling at you to come up with something!"
Shu Jin lowered his eyebrows and thought, is he tired of working the night shift?
No, it should be because he failed to seduce the emperor, so it was attributed to the emperor being weak and weak-minded. That is why we hope that the emperor will take good care of his health and recover soon.
Haha, to put it bluntly, it is still for my own benefit.
Liu Gui and Ying Gui both think that mother is more valuable than son!
Yes, if the two of them had not had a son and a half, they would have been nobles in this life. The British noble wanted to take revenge, and the Liu noble also wanted to have a child to save the rest of his life.
Shu Jin shook his head. Even if Yongzheng was willing to take a good rest and recover as soon as possible, it would still be extremely difficult for Liu Guiren and Ying Guiren to get pregnant!
If she has not been pregnant for a long time, I wonder what these two little nobles will do.
Shu Jin squinted his eyes. At this juncture, he must not cause any trouble.
Chunxi Hall.
The British nobles retreated and closed the hall door, as if they were conspiring. Liu nobles also sent out even the personal maids, so there was no third person in the Chunxi Hall Nuan Pavilion.
The British nobleman's pretty face was serious: "Actually, even if the emperor recovers, can we really be pregnant? After so many years, so many concubines have been favored. Since Concubine Ning, who has given birth to an heir?"
Liu Guiren didn't know that the emperor was old and it would be difficult to make the concubines happy. But when these words came from the mouth of the British nobleman, Liu Guiren couldn't help but feel more anxious, "But we have already offended Concubine Xi, if we can't have a son
Half a woman, I’m afraid I won’t even have a way to survive in the future!”
Ying Guiren held Liu Guiren's hand, with a bit of bewilderment in his eyes: "So, we must have a child!"
Liu Guiren frowned, "Even if the emperor has recovered his health, he is still at his age." - How can it be so easy to get pregnant?
The British noble gritted his teeth and said, "Then try to find a way to borrow one!"
