Chapter 15 Gift-giving
Even if someone is guilty, no one says that she will be lifted from her grounding, and Su Jingxi still stays in her drunken cloud dock all day long.
Fortunately, she is an idle person most of the time.
Zong Zhengjin asked people to send her a lot of books and miscellaneous notes, and she also set foot in Zuiyunwu from time to time.
Even if someone complains, but no one dares to question the emperor, at most, they will put it in their hearts, and transfer their resentment to Su Jingxi.
"Master, Grandpa Su brought some palace maids and eunuchs over," Ting Yao walked in and said.
Su Jingxi got up when she heard this, a few days ago, Zong Zhengjin saw that there were too few people waiting for her here, and said that she would send a few people over another day.
It's just that I didn't expect him to say it casually, but really.
"Little Master Su, the emperor asked the servants to bring some people to pick and choose for the little master, and the small master will change it if he doesn't look at it," Su Shun saluted and said.
Su Jingxi chuckled, "The people picked by Father-in-law Su are naturally good, but at this time, I can't pick them well, so it's better to bother Father-in-law Su to help me take a look." ”
"Don't dare, don't dare, the slave should," Su Shunxian smiled and waved his hand again and again.
swept the people below several times, and picked two palace maids and a eunuch to come out, their appearance was not outstanding, and they looked very honest.
"Little Master Su, these are all people who have been newly assigned to the palace province, if you don't like it, just send it back."
All eunuchs and palace maids are selected to enter the palace, first live in the prison barn, teach uniformly, and only after passing the training will they be assigned to the palace province, and then the palace province will be uniformly assigned to each palace and each court.
The reason why Su Shunxian deliberately mentioned that people were newly assigned to the temple province also means that these people are very "clean", and there is no old master, so they can be used with confidence.
As for saying that it doesn't go well and sending it back directly, it doesn't really mean that he will go back to the palace province, but he will be assigned to the Huanxi Bureau, doing the heaviest and most tiring work until he dies of exhaustion.
"The slave/slave must serve the little master well," all three knelt down.
Su Shunxian smiled with satisfaction, "That being the case, the slave retired first." ”
"Father-in-law go slowly," Su Jingxi motioned to Tingyao and handed him a purse, and he didn't refuse.
There are also rules for receiving gifts in the palace, for example, every time Su Jingxi gives him a purse, every time he returns to the palace, he has to report it to his master, rather than directly taking it as his own.
Receiving her purse also represents a kind of recognition.
After Su Jingxi waited for him to leave, she glanced at the kneeling person, "What Gonggong Su said just now, did you all hear it?" ”
"Minions/slaves understand."
"I won't say much else, what to do and what not to do, I think you also know, one servant does not serve the two masters, in my place, the most basic and most important thing is to be loyal, otherwise Dai Xia will be your end."
successfully saw their frightened eyes, "You two, Xiangxiang, Ruxiang, you, Xiao Chuzi, each will be rewarded with five taels of silver, ** Okay, bring it up and serve." ”
"Minions/slaves retire," Xiaofuzi led them down.
Su Jingxi returned to the inner room, "Can you find out who Dai Xia is?" ”
"The slave maid is incompetent, she has been in contact with many palaces, and the slave maid really doesn't know ......" Hearing Yao knelt down and said with some guilt.
Su Jingxi waved her hand, "It's not your fault, it's a good trick, I'm afraid that person didn't expect that the chess pieces that had been hidden for so long would be so wasted." ”
Except for Dai Xia, although I don't know who is behind her for the time being, at least she is safe now.
Of course, only temporarily.
And she should also think about what to do in the future.
Zong Zhengjin's face is cold, and the majesty of the emperor cannot be underestimated, what Su Jingxi has to do is to attack the heart.
He only loves her now, and he can't understand why he spoils her, but these are not the most important things, she just needs to continue to be herself.
It seems that she made the right move.
never hid it from him, didn't form a gang, completely relied on him, and always presented him with the truest and purest side of himself, thinking that this was the reason why he spoiled her.
It's just that she wants more, and it's far from enough to spoil, he can also spoil others, such as Shu Guifei, but love is different, he can only love one person.
However, it is easier said than done, just take one step at a time.
In fact, the days pass quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it will be the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it is also a relatively big festival in the Chu Zhou Kingdom.
"Master, it will be Concubine Shu's birthday in a few days, what gift do you think you want to give?" Ting Yao stood aside and said.
Su Jingxi thought for a moment when she heard this, "Just send it according to the rules, we don't need to add more." ”
"Did the queen say that Concubine Shu's birthday was over?"
Ting Yao shook his head, "Not yet, I think I'll know in the next two days." ”
Su Jingxi nodded, no longer entangled in this question, "Go and get the needle and thread." ”
Zichen Palace
Su Shunxian walked in and saluted, "Your Majesty, the queen asks to see you." ”
"But what's the matter?" These days, there is a big drought in Chu Zhou, and he has been busy for many days without setting foot in the harem.
"Returning to the emperor, it seems to be for Concubine Shu's birthday."
"Concubine Shu? So fast? Zong Zhengjin was stunned, and a year had passed in a blink of an eye.
"Let her in."
The queen walked in and saluted, "The concubine sees the emperor." ”
"Get up."
After waiting for a while, the queen saw that the emperor really didn't mean to speak, so she had to say, "Your Majesty, in a few days it will be Sister Shu's birthday, and the concubines came to ask the emperor what he meant, what kind of charter should it be, but it was the same as last year?" ”
"There is a big drought in the north, what does the queen think should be done?" Zong Zhengjin's tone was not good.
The queen looked embarrassed and quickly knelt down, "The concubine is guilty, and I ask the emperor to forgive her guilt." ”
"Hmph, get up, you are the queen, you should think about it yourself."
The queen was bitter in her heart, if she did it simply, she was afraid that she would be wronged, and she would be the one who was wrong at that time.
"The concubine retires," the queen bowed, ready to withdraw.
"Just don't be too aggrieved Shu'er," a voice came from behind her.
The queen turned around, "The concubine understands. ”
Uncontrollably red eyes, but seeing the old scars, I don't know who I hate.
Zong Zhengjin never looked up at her from the time she came in until she left.
"The queen mother walks slowly," Su Shunxian saw her come out, and hurriedly opened the curtain, but he didn't see her red eyes.
The queen held the hand of the palace maid, "Father-in-law Su should serve the emperor well," and motioned to the palace maid next to him to hand him a purse.
Su Shunxian didn't shirk it, and stuffed it into his sleeve, "This is natural." ”
After the queen left, Su Shunxian sighed, turned around and walked in.
picked up a few notebooks on the ground, and after a glance, he found that all of them were impeached by the prime minister, no wonder......
"Ride the drunken cloud dock."
When Zong Zhengjin stepped into the drunken cloud dock, he saw that the person was lazily lying on the couch, gently closing his eyes, the breeze was blowing, his long eyelashes like butterfly wings trembled slightly, and the whole person was filled with an indescribable tranquility and gentleness.
Frowning slightly, she is too leisurely, right?
Su Jingxi was enjoying the shade by the window, the breeze was blowing, very comfortable, and she almost fell asleep in a daze when she closed her eyes and recuperated.
might as well be suddenly picked up by someone and exclaimed, "Ah......hh
opened his eyes and smelled the faint ambergris incense on the people around him, "Your Majesty, why are you scaring the concubine again?" ”
Seeing her aggrieved and delicate appearance, Zong Zhengjin suddenly lost most of the unhappiness in her heart, and pinched her beautiful nose, "Xi'er is afraid?" ”
"Hmph, the concubine is not afraid," was pinched by his nose, and his voice was muffled.
Zong Zhengjin let go of her, but saw that the tip of her nose was already red, "Why is it so delicate?" ”
"So the emperor has to pamper his concubines," Su Jingxi said with a chuckle.
Zong Zhengjin touched the tip of her nose, "You will climb along the pole." ”
"That's also the pole given by the emperor is long enough to climb."
"Haha......" Zong Zhengjin laughed, "Xiaozui is so sweet today?" ”
"Yes, do you want to taste it?" As he spoke, he sat opposite him, still sitting on his lap, and leaned his head over.
"Uh-huh......"
All of a sudden, there was a sound of smacking in the room.
Ting Yao stood outside, a little shy, and only stood farther away.
Su Shun listened to the corner of the wall but was very happy, half an hour ago, the emperor's face was gloomy and terrible, no, he came to Zuiyunwu, and immediately the heavy rain turned clear.
This night, the emperor naturally stayed in Zuiyunwu.
Kunning Palace
"Niangniang, the emperor has stayed at Su Guiren's place again," Jin Mo walked in and said in a low voice.
The queen brushed the white porcelain cup of the Eight Immortal Lotus on the ground, "This palace never thought that she was a fox, and the emperor was ......."
"Niang Niang said cautiously," Jin Mo hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Please also ask Niang Niang to calm her anger, the phoenix body is important." ”
"Hmph, how can this palace calm its anger, the emperor is more and more disgusted with this palace, he has never touched this palace, this palace is ......" The queen's two lines of tears flowed down her face.
"Niangniang," Jin Mo didn't know how to persuade him, "Niangniang should look farther, those individuals are always just concubines, and the children born have to call you mother-in-law." ”
"It's just that Niangniang should have made plans earlier, Du Chang is pregnant now, Niangniang might as well think about it...... It is also made to go to the mother and keep the child. ”
"Bengong's father is too arrogant, let Bengong think about it again."
Jin Mo sighed, "Du Chang is still young in time, so Niangniang should think about it more." ”
Chonghua Palace
"Niangniang, that ...... from Drunken Cloud Dock" Lu Qi came in with a tray and a cup of tea, and said.
Concubine Shu Guifei sat on the dresser, looking at her face in the bronze mirror, "This palace is also old......
"Mother's ......"
"You don't have to comfort Bengong, Bengong has been married to the emperor for so many years, and the emperor is tired of the color of Bengong, and Bengong is not sad......"
It's sad that he never really cares about her, what he cares about has always been the family behind her, she knows and is willing to be used by him, but now, is she not even willing to use it?
"Tell me to go down, and stay away from the people in Zuiyunwu in the future."
