Chapter 150: Managing the Harem

Su Zhaoyi nodded, and said with a smile: "Cheng Jieyu is like this, but she doesn't have any bad intentions. ”

Nan Jingpei was silent for a long time, her face was a little gloomy, and her eyes were glowing with a light red. Su Zhaoyi was secretly happy in her heart, her words, Nan Jingpei didn't drop a word, she listened to them all in her heart, she was completely sure of this.

She has served by the emperor's side all these years, and she has never heard of any weakness of the emperor. She previously thought that the emperor was in the political whirlpool, and he had achieved a good job. It turns out that he is not without weaknesses, but he has never shown them before. Now it seems that Shen Yunzhen is his weakness, and as long as Shen Yunzhen is involved in anything, the emperor will be in a dilemma.

Su Zhaoyi laughed secretly in her heart, Concubine Xian was really smart and confused for a while, knowing that the emperor loved Shen Yun so much that she wanted to live and die, she still had to go against the Shen family. Isn't this holding a knife and stabbing the emperor in the heart?

"You're coming to see me, you shouldn't be talking about that, are you?" He gave her a faint look.

Su Zhaoyi took a few steps forward and boldly held the red pen in Nan Jingpei's hand: "Of course not, the concubine is here to persuade the emperor to pardon the Tian family." ”

Nan Jingpei was a little displeased, but still smiled disapprerovingly. With a pull of his hand, he took back the pen that was held by Su Zhaoyi and gently hung it on the pen holder.

Su Zhaoyi was slightly self-conscious, and said: "The concubine knows that the Tian family is bold and has brought shame on the royal family. Even if it is a full house, it is not too much to inflict misfortune on the nine clans. But the concubines still have to persuade the emperor to think twice before acting. ”

He crossed his hands, closed his eyes and lay on the back of his chair, and asked lazily, "Why do you think twice?" ”

"Big things are small, small things are small." Su Zhaoyi looked at him intently: "Your Majesty, this matter is completely done by the Tian family alone, her family does not know, the emperor rules the world with benevolence and virtue, if she asks her mother's family for the matter of the Tian family, isn't this innocent?" Moreover, there are not many people who know about this matter, and if Tian Shiman is killed suddenly, it will arouse suspicion and make things bigger. ”

Nan Jingpei closed her eyes and was silent, as if she was not very interested in her topic, Su Zhaoyi paused and looked at him cautiously. He was closing his eyes and listening, and when he saw that Su Zhaoyi didn't say anything, he sat up straight and said, "You go on." ”

Su Zhaoyi responded, and said: "Concubine Liang used to be Tian's medical daughter, and Tian's pregnancy is also Concubine Liang's diagnosis. If this matter breaks out, shouldn't you involve Concubine Liang? Concubine Liang is pregnant with Liujia, and she is the most taboo to overthink. If you are disturbed by this matter and hurt your body, shouldn't the emperor feel distressed? ”

Nan Jingpei rubbed his eyebrows, looking at the three-legged gilt incense burner on the wall table not far away, a few lily-scented incense cakes were burning in the furnace, and the gray-white smoke was rising along the hollow gaps, looming, if there was nothing. His eyes were sour, and he closed his eyes again.

He didn't want to publicize the matter in the first place, and he didn't plan to anger the people of the Tian clan. A while ago, the Xiao family was purged, and the city was full of wind and rain and blood, and everyone was in danger. The common people finally calmed down from the panic, do they want to carry out a killing execution?

"That's right." He said lightly: "It's hard for you to think about everything. ”

Su Zhaoyi smiled lightly, and looked at Nan Jingpei tentatively: "Your Majesty, there is still that child." ”

Nan Jingpei's fingertips trembled, and she looked at Su Zhaoyi in surprise.

His eyes were a little terrifying, and Su Zhaoyi hurriedly lowered his head: "The concubine is also thinking about the emperor." ”

Anyway, everyone knows that Tian's child is the emperor's eldest son, if he suddenly changes his words and says that the child is an evil obstacle born by Tian's fornication with the guards, wouldn't everyone know that the emperor was cuckolded by Tian?

Su Zhaoyi bit her lip and said softly: "The concubine is worried that this matter will damage the emperor's holy prestige. ”

This is a troublesome matter, Nan Jingpei pondered for a while, and asked lightly: "Did the Tian family entrust the child to her?" ”

Su Zhaoyi didn't expect the emperor to ask so bluntly, and she was stunned.

"Yes."

"She agreed?" He asked again.

Su Zhaoyi felt a little struggling, the emperor's questions could always hit her psychological defense line directly, catching her off guard. She didn't know how to answer for a moment, so she nodded in a daze.

Tian begged bitterly, the baby was crying pitifully, even the concubine couldn't help but feel pity, not to mention the good concubine? She is about to be a mother, and when she sees that situation, she is inevitably moved. ”

Nan Jingpei was a little embarrassed in her heart, Tian's child was preserved by Shen Yunzhen's hard work, and she definitely didn't want to see this child sentenced to death. If he killed that child, even if Shen Yunzhen didn't say anything, he would definitely blame himself in his heart. He didn't want to see Tian's child dangling in front of his eyes, and he didn't want to see Shen Yun really blame himself in pain.

Nan Jingpei looked at Su Zhaoyi, she looked confident.

"You mean, I should keep him?"

Su Zhaoyi bowed slightly, and said, "If the emperor trusts, it is better to hand over this child to the concubine to raise first." said to the outside world that the Tian family was guilty, but after dripping blood to recognize his relatives, this child is still royal blood. When the child grew up, he ordered him to enter Baoxiang Temple, practice for his father, and pray for the blessing of the country. In this way, he will never be able to step into the palace gate for half a step, and the emperor will be out of sight and out of mind. ”

It's a good idea to kill multiple birds with one stone, and the corners of Nanjing's lips curled into a slight smile. He stretched out his hand and pinched Su Zhaoyi's hand, and said, "Have you discussed this matter with her in advance?" Or do you mean it yourself? ”

"This is all the concubine's little knowledge," she smiled: "The concubine just wants to share the worries of the emperor and the concubine." ”

Nan Jingpei lowered her eyes slightly, and slapped her palm meaningfully. In the past, he thought that Su Zhaoyi was just a little smart, but now it seems that she is also unambiguous in the face of major events.

"Now that Concubine Xian is imprisoned, Concubine Liang is pregnant and can't be tired, and there is no one in charge of the affairs in the palace, so it's better for you to share this worry for me."

Su Zhaoyi's heart was a little agitated, and her joy inadvertently broke through the corners of her lips and spread. Coming out of the imperial study, her heart was still flickering and beating wildly, and she took a few deep breaths, barely calming down.

The hibiscus in the imperial garden has been half opened, snow-white, light pink, and the big flowers are hidden in a green lotus leaf, like a shy beauty, and the fragrant face is half open and charming.

Summer flowers, she likes this hibiscus the most, every time in this season, when the hibiscus is half-opened, she has to fold a few flowers back and insert the bottle. Or pinch off the whole lotus, leave no branches, and let it quietly suspend in the ice basin, which is beautiful and cool.

Su Zhaoyi pinched the white silk skirt and reached out to fold the lotus flower in the pool. But he heard a delicate laugh from behind him, although it was a clear laugh, but it revealed a sense of hostility. She hurriedly withdrew her hand and turned her head to look.

Cheng Jieyu walked up to her proudly and bowed slightly: "Say hello to my sister." ”

Cheng Jieyu has always been this bewitching and charming look, no matter what season she is, she always has to apply the most colorful fat powder, as if she is afraid that people will not see her. Su Zhaoyi hates her flamboyant temperament the most, maybe it's the evil Wu and the house, even Cheng Jieyu, she can't find the slightest good feeling.

"Why doesn't my sister even bring a maid?" Cheng Jieyu's gaze flickered, with a taste of contempt.

Cheng Jieyu's hostility could be felt from miles away, and Su Zhaoyi didn't want to talk to her more, so she turned around and was about to leave.

As soon as she turned around, she heard Cheng Jieyu smile again: "Sister doesn't even want flowers?" ”

Su Zhaoyi stopped and turned her head to look at her: "You won't come to touch the moldy head of the palace, right?" ”

Cheng Jieyu covered her lips with a fan and sneered: "What did my sister say?" Sister, I came to help my sister. She turned her head and gave the little palace maid beside her a look: "Zhucui, go and help Su Zhaoyi pinch off the flowers." ”

This little palace maid looks like her master, she knows at a glance that it is not a fuel-efficient lamp, two thin lips, a straight and hard nose bridge looks like a man, her appearance is not pleasant, and her body exudes a mean and sour temperament.

I saw that she reached out and grabbed a half-open hibiscus, and pulled it hard, kneading the flower to a pulp. She pretended to regret it again, and reached out to pull the lotus pod next to her, which was also torn, and broke five or six flowers in a row, but she still refused to stop.

Su Zhaoyi glanced at Cheng Jieyu coldly and said, "Where did Cheng Jieyu find such a clumsy palace maid?" ”

The little palace maid arrogantly owed a debt: "The slave should die, please forgive Zhaoyi Niangniang." ”

Cheng Jieyu took a step forward and said with a smile: "Really damn it, don't you know that this hibiscus is Su Zhaoyi's favorite flower?" If you can't do such a small thing, what's the use of this palace asking you? Penalty you for a month's money! ”

After she said that, she turned her head and smiled at Su Zhaoyi again: "Sister, don't worry about a little palace maid, in the summer, beware of being angry." ”

The ground was full of torn hibiscus petals, tattered lotus leaves and lotus canopies, Su Zhaoyi felt angry in her heart, this icy and jade hibiscus flower was originally used for ornamentation. Now they are used as a tool to vent their anger, some of them are open, but they are torn to pieces, and there are many smells of burning the piano and boiling cranes, and destroying the heavens.

She couldn't help sneering: "It's not from my palace, even if her master doesn't discipline her well, the palace doesn't have the heart to teach her, so let the board of the court teach her." Su Zhaoyi lowered her eyes and glanced at the little palace maid: "Go to the court by yourself to receive twenty boards, even if it is a small punishment and a big commandment." In the future, when you are on an errand by the master's side, remember to be quick with your hands and feet. ”

When Cheng Jieyu heard that Su Zhaoyi was going to punish her palace maid, she couldn't help but be furious, and her face suddenly swelled red: "You are just a Zhaoyi, you haven't even earned a concubine, what qualifications do you have to punish my palace maid?" ”

Su Zhaoyi snorted disappreciatively: "Concubine Liang is already a concubine, and Cheng Jieyu doesn't see Cheng Jieyu respecting her a little bit in this palace." ”

Cheng Jieyu bit her lip, and stretched out her hand to pull the little palace maid to her side: "Even if you fight the power of Concubine Liang, you are not qualified to discipline the slaves and maids of this palace." The palace is lacking, so I have to say goodbye first. ”

"Stop!"
