On this day, as soon as Lian Ember and Scarlet Yu entered the main hall of Fengzao Palace, they heard the intermittent whimpering sound of a woman coming from inside, and they walked forward together to salute Yuzijin.

Seeing the arrival of Lian Ember and Scarlet Rain, Yu Zijin hurriedly ordered someone to give the two of them a seat, looked at the few women kneeling on the ground with low eyebrows, and said unhappily: "If you don't get up yet, don't you want people to see the joke?" ”

Concubine Shu, Concubine An and Lu Zhaoyi glanced at each other, secretly blaming themselves for forgetting that today was the day when the chief manager of Lian came to report the affairs of the inner palace to the queen mother every month. Since entering the palace, the Jade Queen has been in charge of the harem, but most of the authority is still in the hands of the chief steward, and they are all the masters of the first palace, so it is really not good to lose her demeanor before the chief steward who does not know the bottom line. Besides, Queen Jade had never given them such a cold face, so she hurriedly got up from the ground and stood up.

In this scene, even Ember guessed a few reasons, Yutian Thunder cured corruption, whether it was a broken family or today's upstart, there were many people implicated, including Concubine Shu, Concubine An and Lu Zhaoyi's father and brother, even if they were relatives of the emperor, they were all put in prison to wait for their fate, especially Concubine Shu's father committed a capital crime. If it is said that Yutian only has the intention of punishing those subordinates who follow Yuce, he is planning to uproot these declining scholar clans mercilessly. There is no Jade King to protect above, and there is no foundation to rely on, the only thing these concubines can do is to come to ask for Jade Zijin.

Although he has always been lenient with others, Yu Zijin obviously did not want to plead with Yutian for Concubine Shu this time, and said sharply: "The country has national laws, and the family has family rules. Several of you have always had the reputation of virtue, how can you only know the hard work of your father and the future of your brother at this time? Haven't you ever thought about the people of Li who are suffering every day in the seven southeastern states? With such virtue, how can this palace expect you to be upright? ”

Compared with the filial piety of the concubines and the fathers of the family, Yu Zijin understands that Yutian's intentions are not wrong. Regardless of the fact that the people of Li are suffering from disasters and suffering, these families are unforgivable for embezzling food and wages, and these declining families have no effect on the people's livelihood and national governance, or on the Yu family's power and governance, Yutian will not be able to keep them. Rather than watching their own decline, it is better to take this opportunity to let these redundant ancient families disappear and also take a cancer for the country.

"Niangniang forgives her sins, even the chief manager forgives her sins, and the concubines and others are desperate to ask for their mother, the father and brother have committed a big crime, and the concubines have nothing to argue, but the father is old, the elder brother is still young, and the concubines only want to be able to protect their lives, whether they are in the army, or they are cut for the people, I just hope they are safe." Concubine Shu knelt on the ground again, her face was sincere, the daughter raised by the wealthy family was sent to the palace to earn glory for the family, but now the original family has long been helpless, and there is no one in the eyes of the emperor, glory is a pipe dream, and they only want to be able to keep the declining family when necessary.

Yuzijin ordered Xian'er to help Concubine Shu up, the harem of the original leaning wind, except for Yuzijin who gave birth to the prince Yuan Jingmu, only Concubine Shu had a pair of twins with the second prince and the third prince, and the concubine herself was also virtuous and virtuous, even if she gave birth to two princes, she had never been arrogant. If it's just the father of Concubine Shu, it's just the grandfather of the two princes, if he is sentenced for corruption, I'm afraid that the future of the two princes will not be good.

Concubine Shu bowed her head and wept softly, and at this point, she did not mention that her two sons were bargaining chips for forgiveness, let alone ask for Yuan Yifeng. Originally, Yifeng had no real power, but with the respect of the monarch to open his mouth to Yutian, he could also protect Concubine Shu's father, but Concubine Shu did not do this, and Yu Zijin appreciated this woman a little more, and couldn't help but feel compassion.

Seeing that Yu Zijin seemed to have a sense of relaxation, Lian Shen said: "Concubine Niangniang's filial piety is really moving, but what can the queen mother do if she comes forward to protect Lingzun's life?" ”

Concubine Shu is puzzled, what can she do? can keep her family's lineage, even if it declines, there is still a foundation; can save her father's life and fulfill her filial piety; Can she not let her son be laughed at because he has a grandfather who has been convicted for corruption.

Concubine Shu didn't hear what Lian Shen meant, but it made Yu Zijin's eyes jump, only to hear Lian Shen say again: "Don't talk about anything else, how easy is it for the declining family to turn over?" Looking at the Niangniang clan, it seems that there is no talent that can make a rapid rise in a short period of time, and Bao Xia Lingzun can only expose the two princes behind their backs when they grow up, in addition, they may rely on the two princes in the future? Maybe it will make the two princes shine on their faces? Even if it may be a blessing or a curse for the two princes! ”

Mentioning the two sons, Concubine Shu's face changed, she had a twin son, the Jade Queen and the Jade King did not have a heart of intolerance, but the horse attacked his father this time, not necessarily in disguise to remove the future wings of the two sons. Even if there is a difference between his family and the Jade Queen, does that mean that there will be no accidents in the future? Lian Ember is right, she knows very well how many pounds and taels her father and brother have, so virtuous don't say that she will add glory to her son in the future, it would be good if she didn't smear it, and he might be criticized one day by someone who has been convicted, but in this case, the two losers who have no foreign family are also the safest.

Family and young children, she can only choose one!

My heart is hard, father, brother, forgive my daughter for not taking care of you.

"Thank you for the reminder." Concubine Shu's eyes were full of tears, and she was secretly ruthless, facing Lian Ember and blessing her body, and bowed to Yu Zijin again, "Today is the concubine who owes her thoughts, disturbing the discussion between the mother and the chief manager, and hoping to forgive the sin, the two princes should also wake up at this time, and the concubines retreated first." ”

Concubine An and Lu Zhaoyi are not people who don't know how to advance and retreat, Concubine Shu has a prince by her side, not to mention them alone? knew that there was no hope for intercession, so he could only leave gloomily.

Looking at the three departing slender figures, Yu Zijin frowned and sighed.

Scarlet Rain presented the account book, and reported the palace affairs to Yu Zijin with Lian Ash, looking at Yu Zijin's slightly tired look, and then looking at Lian Ash, she lowered her head and didn't say much. Don't talk about that, if Niangniang knows that her good brother has done something unsightly after drinking, I'm afraid that my heart won't be too good.

That night, when he saw the shadow of the child who was carefully coaxing the child to sleep in front of the window, he walked over with a smile and hugged the mother and son tightly from behind.

Clinging to the warm chest, Yu Zijin smiled back, and then looked down at Yuan Jingmu who was wide-eyed in his arms and said, "Mu'er is really naughty, she refuses to rest for half a day, but she is waiting for her father?" ”

Seeing the warm and smiling face on the shoulders of the queen mother, Yuan Jingmu immediately stretched out her little hand, and said in a childish voice: "Father, father, Mu'er doesn't sleep, and the queen mother is fierce." ”

Regarding his son's coquettishness, Yuan Yifeng smiled, and hurriedly took it in his arms, but Yu Zijin was unhappy and said: "Stinky boy, you will sue!" ”

Yuan Jingmu lay on his stomach in Yuan Yifeng's arms and muttered: "Sister Shu He is as fierce as the queen mother, and her niece is like an aunt!" ”

Yuan Yifeng laughed loudly, the fairy style and bones were happy, and hurriedly hugged the annoyed Yuzijin in his arms, and his wife and son were unhappy in her arms, "Okay, okay, Mu'er is joking," nodded the little head in his arms, "You don't want to go to bed soon, you can't wait for the queen mother to get angry?" ”

Yuan Jingmu smiled with big round eyes, fell asleep obediently in Yuan Yifeng's arms, and saw Yu Zijin roll his eyes, "Didn't your father and son discuss it?" This kid has to wait for you to come before he goes to sleep every time. ”

Yuan Yifeng patted Yuan Jingmu and said with a smile: "I can't see me in the daytime, so I naturally want to accompany him at night." ”

After Yuan Jingmu fell asleep, Yu Zijin informed Yuan Yifeng of the day's events, and Yuan Yifeng did not react to the affairs of the concubines, no love and no grace, Yutian acted fairly, and he had no personal feelings to say. Yu Zijin already knew what his reaction would be, she just wanted Yuan Yifeng to agree to mention the status of Concubine Shu, Concubine Shu has been in the position of the third lady for a long time, and she also gave birth to a prince, or two, she should have won the position of concubine a long time ago, in the past, Yuan Yifeng always didn't care about this, and he didn't care much about Concubine Shu's two sons. Now Concubine Shu is well aware of the righteousness and declares that she will break off with her unrighteous relatives, and if she does not give her a decent position as a concubine to protect her second son, it will always teach people to think that Yuan Yifeng intends to treat her poorly.

It doesn't matter to make tea, boil water, and drink tea, and when Yu Zijin was impatient, Yuan Yifeng said: "Then tomorrow I will pass on my oracle, and order someone to draw up a decree, and Jin Shufei will be a concubine." ”

After waiting for a long time, he can be regarded as speaking, but what is 'Concubine Jin is Concubine Shu', the concubines have been promoted, will it exhaust him to death if he gives people more titles? "Your Majesty, virtuous and virtuous is the title of the three ladies of our dynasty, if you want to canonize Concubine Shu as a concubine, it is not good for her to be crowned as a concubine, and the emperor should draw up another title."

Early the next morning.

"Respectfully, concubine, take the order!" Zheng Yi, who had just been promoted to the deputy governor of the palace province, smiled and handed the edict to the concubine who was once promoted to concubine, and personally helped her up from the ground, "Congratulations to the concubine, our family will say goodbye, and the lady will stay." ”

Concubine Jin obviously hadn't woken up from this decree yet, and when Zheng Yi walked away, she remembered to tell the little eunuch to send her off, and smirked at the congratulations of the few concubines sitting in her palace, and she only felt that this holy decree in her hand weighed a thousand catties. Although she gave birth to two sons, she never dared to dream that one day she would become a concubine, she didn't know what the man who was always gentle as the wind thought, whether she had just entered the palace, or knew that she was pregnant until she gave birth to two children, he didn't seem to care about her existence, and even if she did something rebellious, he didn't have a seizure. Maybe there was really no one else in his eyes except for Yu, she was moved by this infatuation, and she was grateful for this infatuation, it was his infatuation that saved her and her children. And this word "respect", she didn't know if he was warning her to be cautious, or advising her to be cautious, so she had to silently thank Long En, thank him for turning a blind eye.
