Chapter 129, Concubines Infected with Illness? Pregnant?
The queen sat on the phoenix chair and glanced at Concubine Xi condescendingly, "When did Concubine Xi care so much about concubines?!" β
Concubine Xi accompanied her smiling face: "They are all their own sisters, and they should care about one or two." β
The queen was suddenly quite unhappy in her heart, pretending to be virtuous! The queen looked at Concubine Xi in every way, but Concubine Xi looked like she was smiling all day long, but the queen couldn't find any excuse to beat. As a result, he hated Concubine Xi even more.
"I heard in this palace that there is an official woman in your palace?" The queen couldn't help sneering in her heart, but she had learned to stuff people into the dragon couch! Aren't you a self-proclaimed family? That's it?
Concubine Xi sneered: "The day before yesterday, the emperor came to visit Yuanshou, and he fell in love with Yunhui's girl at a glance, which is also her blessing." β
The official woman is the emperor's roommate.
In fact, Su Changzai was also a palace maid in front of the palace, and after sleeping with him, he naturally became an official woman, and later agreed to appoint the palace.
Now this official woman named Yunhui, because she is in Concubine Xi's palace, naturally continues to follow Concubine Xi.
Speaking of which, this Concubine Xi Palace is lively, two old people are always there, adding an official woman and four concubines. However, the official woman is actually not an official concubine......
When he returned to the Laning Palace, he saw that Tianshen was playing with Xiao Jingba for nothing, the laughter was continuous, and Shu Jin couldn't help but slightly curl the corners of his mouth.
Aunt Lan Ruo was a little displeased, and couldn't help but reprimand the nanny and grandma: "Why do you ask the fifth elder brother to roll on the ground?" β
Shu Jin smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay." "βthere's a carpet on the floor.
Lan Ruo still couldn't look at it, so he hurriedly stepped forward, picked up the fifth elder brother, dusted it off, and sent it to the couch again, and said with a straight face: "Elder brother should memorize the three-character scripture." β
Tianshen puffed out his cheeks, but when he saw Lan Ruo holding the hibiscus cake again, he became a good baby in seconds, and began to recite "At the beginning of people, sex is good".
At this time, the chief eunuch Zhang Shoufa brought back this winter's satin fur, mink skin, Ula mink skin, as well as woven gold, makeup satin, satin, cloud satin, Hangzhou fine, cotton silk and other materials.
Shu Jin swept them one by one, and couldn't help but chin his head: "The condition is not bad." β
In addition, there is Tianshen's share, and the two of them add up to form a small mountain.
"Behold the palace, this number ...... It's a little bit more than in previous years. Shu Jin is only a rough estimate.
Zhang Shoufa said with a smile: "The emperor has few concubines, but the annual tribute of the Yamen, the head of Wula, is not less than in previous years, and naturally the ladies of each palace have more share." β
The Yamen, the chief administrator of Wula, was an exclusive institution of the Qing Dynasty, responsible for managing the "Land of Longxing" in the Northeast, and specially supplied the royal family with Northeast specialties, such as mink, ginseng, Dongzhu, honey, and pine nuts, which were all in demand in this era.
"Tell the needle and thread people at the bottom to make two winter clothes first, and the rest are registered in the warehouse." - Keeping gifts or rewarding people is also very handy.
Zhang Shoufa presented an inconspicuous wooden box again, and whispered: "Niangniang, this is the old man just asked someone to send it, and the slaves have already counted it, and the number is the same as last year." β
This is Geng Dejin sending money again.
Shu Jin glanced at it, his expression was light, "Pick up some fur satin and send it back to Geng's house." She didn't ask for her mother's money for nothing.
To be honest, as a mother, although you don't have to worry about eating, wearing, and chewing, you can really not have much money. Even if he is the concubine, the annual salary is only three hundred taels, and it is not enough to keep it for rewarding people.
The Geng family is not a wealthy family, and the amount of silver stuffed a year is only eight hundred taels of silver, and the daily expenses of her and Tianshen Niang are also sufficient.
Mainly because she doesn't need to buy palace people and win people's hearts.
"By the way, Li Guiren's side...... Is there enough charcoal fire? Shu Jin was a little worried about Li Guiren, who lived far away in Lanzaozhai.
Zhang Shoufa smiled and said: "Niangniang, don't worry, Master Li is favored now, how can he lack use?" β
Shu Jin's head is up, but too, which favorite concubine lives by just that idea?
As the saying goes, say Cao Cao Cao and Cao Cao will arrive.
Li Guiren wore a mink cloak and walked in with a smile, "Say hello to Concubine Yu!" β
Shu Jinwaner, "You came by coincidence!" β
While asking people to serve hot milk tea, Shu Jin smiled and asked, "Can you get a share in winter?" Is there enough fur satin? β
Li Guiren drank half a cup of milk tea, and his smile became sweeter: "It is much richer than in previous years." β
"That's good." Shu Jin's head.
Li Guiren gently put down the milk tea and whispered, "The concubine just went to Shende Hall." β
"Oh? Is the concubine really sick? Shu Jin asked hurriedly.
Li Guiren straightened the hair on his clothes, and said with a smile: "But I haven't seen the main master, I only heard a cough outside the hall, and the palace maid of Shende Hall only said that she was afraid of being sick, and no one was allowed to enter." β
Shu Jin couldn't help but be suspicious, "That Concubine Xi ......"
Li Guiren covered his lips and chuckled: "I was also turned away, for this reason, Concubine Xi's face was a little unbearable." β
In the end, it is a concubine, who was stopped by a concubine, how can he not be angry?
Li Guiren whispered: "Niangniang, the concubine looks at this concubine...... It's not easy to guard against it so strictly. β
Shu Jin smiled: "How simple can it be?" At most, it's just joy! β
Li Guiren naturally thought of this possibility, "Niangniang also thinks-"
Shu Jin said lightly: "Just stay away from her." β
Li Guiren bowed his head, and couldn't help but have some envy in his eyes, "Concubine Dun has it, even the concubine is ...... Alas, in the end, I am blessed. β
Shu Jin hurriedly relieved: "It's a good thing that the concubine is sick, and there are even fewer young concubines who can sleep." β
Li Guiren smiled reluctantly, "I'm just worried, Concubine Jin is already ambitious, if she is really pregnant, I'm afraid that the harem will be uneasy again." β
Shu Jin said: "But the most unsettling thing at the moment is the concubine." β
Li Guiren was stunned, isn't it, the concubine said that she was sick and didn't see anyone, and with such a posture, she must be very afraid that someone would harm her.
Li Guiren couldn't help but sneer: "She didn't hurt people in the past, but now she is scared!" β
Shu Jin smiled and said: "The more wicked you are, the more afraid you are of retaliation." "-The queen and Concubine Dun hate her very much, and none of the other concubines in the harem are friendly with her! Looking around, the only thing that the concubine can rely on is the elderly Empress Dowager and the childless Concubine Xuan.
Shu Jin couldn't help but shake his head: "She's more timid than I expected...... She has the queen mother as her backer, and the imperial heir is the emperor's bottom line, who dares to start? "-It's better to wait for her to give birth, and it's better to kill her mother and take her child.
Li Guiren smiled sadly, "The bottom line? The concubine's little princess died, and the queen didn't see anything! β
Shu Jin sighed, a little princess is just a princess after all - who called this era of dog days so patriarchal!
The second ......
"The queen is the middle palace after all."
