The Job of an Imperial Concubine

At night, after the two of them had dinner, they fell asleep together. Now that Zhuang Luorou had a child in her belly, Feng Jin had no intention of doing anything else. But on a cold night, lying next to a woman who let him sleep peacefully was a refreshing thing for him.

In the middle of the night, he was in a drowsy sleep when he suddenly heard Zhuang Luoyan let out a low cry. When he opened his eyes, he heard Zhuang Luoyan breathing in, "What's wrong?"

"Is my concubine arguing with you?" Zhuang Luoyan took a deep breath, "I have a cramp in my leg, it will be fine in a while, your majesty, please go to sleep."

Hearing this, Feng Jin sat up, stretched out his hand to hold her calf, and noticed that there was an abnormal bump and depression there, and stretched out his hand to gently knead it: "Be patient, just knead it away later." The calf under his hand felt smooth and tender, but he didn't have any charming thoughts. Looking at the other person's expression of pain, he said softly: "This child is too troublesome."

"This shows that our child is smart," Zhuang Luoyan quickly retorted, "What does he know as a child?" It was just a calcium deficiency. Since the other party didn't know what a calcium deficiency was, she wisely didn't speak.

Seeing that the other party became energetic when he mentioned the child, Feng Jin smiled helplessly, put down her calm calf, lay down and hugged her: "It seems that I won't be able to blame him in the future, otherwise you will definitely You can find a lot of reasons to refute it.”

"That's not true," Zhuang Luoyan stammered, "Are you the father of the child? The so-called strict father and mother, you are responsible for being strict with the child, and the concubine is responsible for being gentle with the child."

"Wouldn't the child be afraid of me from that day on?" Feng Jin suddenly recalled the Queen Mother, she had always been strict with herself, as if being a good prince and ascending to the throne was the most important thing to her.

There was not much mother-child affection between them. The queen mother wanted to protect the Ye family, and he wanted to be an emperor who didn't need to be commanded by others, so this was an eternal contradiction.

With a mother who protects her child like Zhuang Luoyan, his child is luckier than him.

"No, if you treat someone sincerely, unless you are a fool, you won't feel it, otherwise he will know." Zhuang Luoyan yawned, "I believe we can teach children well."

"Go to sleep." Feng Jin patted her on the back, but his heart was comforted by "we".

In the early morning of the second day, Feng Jin rushed to the morning court, but he refused to mention the matter of the Su family. The officials in the court were also smart enough not to talk about it. It had already become a foregone conclusion, and they would not be so stupid to mention it Come out, even if news spreads in the palace that Concubine Shugui committed suicide.

Over the years, the majesty of the emperor has become more and more serious. They dare not even bear the wrath of the emperor. The only thing they can do is to do their own things honestly and not to anger the emperor.

After leaving court, just as Feng Jin returned to Qianzheng Palace, the Empress came. He looked at the queen in the phoenix-patterned robe, and asked, "Why did the queen come here?"

The queen looked at the emperor with a calm expression, and suddenly remembered that at some point, the emperor no longer called her Caifu, but the queen. She calmed down and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Shu is awake, but she doesn't look very well."

"Let's let someone take care of you." Feng Jin's expression remained unchanged, he took a booklet and opened it, and buried his head in the eyes without even looking at the queen, "She is a noble concubine, she still has to look like a noble concubine."

Perhaps it was because Feng Jin's expression was too calm, so calm that the queen was a little flustered, so she couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, the Su family..."

"What is the relationship between the Su family and Concubine Shu?" Feng Jin looked up at her, "You don't need to worry about other things, you just need to manage the harem well. By the way, at Xihe Palace, you have to be watched carefully .”

"Yes," the queen felt a little bored in her heart, and said blessedly, "The concubine resigns."

"Um."

The queen looked up and saw that the emperor had buried his head to read the memorial, so she silently left Qianzheng Palace.

"Heyu, ask people to instruct the people in the palace not to treat Anqing Palace slowly. If the palace finds that there are people who are not able to serve them well, they will all be killed." The queen looked at the imperial garden in front of her and said this.

After He Yu answered, he was a little puzzled and said: "Mother, Concubine Shu is now abolished, why do you waste so much thought on her?"

"They are all women, why should I embarrass her here?" The queen looked at the flowers and plants that were sprouting spring, her face was a little numb, Concubine Shu had already fallen down, and she wondered what her Zhao family would look like in the near future.

"My concubine pays her respects to the empress."

The queen looked at the female character in front of her, and after a moment of surprise, she said, "Why is Qian Wanyi here?"

"Mother, my concubine was ill a few days ago and was locked up in the house for a long time. Seeing the weather is good these two days, I wanted to come out to get some air," Qian Wanyi knelt and said, "I never thought I would meet you, empress. "

"Well, this person has been in the house for a long time, so it's better to come out to get some air, so as not to be bored and don't know what to do or what not to do." The queen nodded slightly, "Get up, there is no need to be polite."

Qian Wanyi supported the maid's hand and stood up straight. The queen looked at her, as if she remembered the appearance of Concubine Shu when she first became favored. Compared with Concubine Shu, Qian Wanyi was still far behind.

"The concubine will always remember what the empress said." Qian Wanyi bent her knees again, raised her head and smiled at the empress, "I heard that the concubine Shugui is not in good health, may she recover now?"

"Why don't you go to Anqing Palace to have a look," the queen said indifferently, "I still have something to do in this palace, you should step back."

"Yes," Qian Wanyi's complexion changed slightly, but she had no choice but to back down. Although she wanted to pass here, but the queen told her to go, she could only walk away.

"This Qian Wanyi is..." Heyu smiled disdainfully, but as a slave, she never said anything she shouldn't have said.

"But I think I have a chance," the queen said coldly, "It's just a clown." Even if Concubine Shu is not favored, there are still concubines Zhao and Concubine Rou in this palace, when will it be her turn? At first I looked at him as a smart person, but now I look at him, that's all.

One day not long after Concubine Shu woke up, her father and brother were pushed out of the Meridian Gate and beheaded. Since then, Anqing Palace seems to have become a dead silence, and even the maids and eunuchs inside don't move around much.

The first month just passed, and the palace gradually got used to the days when Concubine Shu's glory was no longer there, but Su Xiuyi no longer dared to speak willfully, or even appear in crowded places. Without the protection of Concubine Shu, she is nothing more than an unfavored repairer.

At this time, a small thing happened in Xihe Palace, that is, the eunuch who raised the flowers found that the soil in the recent flower pots was not right. In the end, Zhuang Luoyan called the imperial physician to investigate, and found that the soil had been soaked in medicine. It seemed normal, but if it was left for a long time, it might make people weak and even dreamy and frightened.

The eunuch who raised the flowers was an old gardener, and when he found some small spots on the leaves of the flowers, he felt something was wrong.

Naturally, Zhuang Luoyan would not swallow her anger. Since this person has such a means, she is not afraid of making things big. While having someone tell the emperor, she is also sending someone to tell the steward of the palace.

The soil for growing flowers should not be changed randomly, otherwise the flowers may die, but if new flowers are to be planted, soil and flower pots must be made. There is no dirt on the flower pots, but there are some in the soil, which shows that this person is careful in his actions. Because everything in the flower pot needs to be inspected, but the soil does not know whether it is intentional or unintentional, it is so careless, and people take advantage of the loopholes.

Zhuang Luoyan looked at the flowers in the yard with a sneer, and it was not a waste that she specially found an experienced eunuch who raised flowers. This is a rare opportunity to make a move. I don't know who got it?

"What did you say, something harmful was found in the flower pot in Concubine Zhao's Palace?" The queen's complexion changed, she turned to look at the emperor sitting next to her, and said in a little panic: "Your majesty, how could someone use such a thing?" Way?"

Feng Jin looked at her with a sullen face: "You don't know, how do I know, I drove to Xihe Palace." Originally, Queen Dao was here to talk about Zhuang Luoyan, but I didn't expect that the matter hadn't started yet, but the trouble would start first. Come up with something like this.

The queen's heart beat violently, and she followed the emperor's steps, secretly rejoicing that nothing happened to Zhuang Luoyan, if the eunuch didn't find anything wrong, she would be in a lot of trouble.

Looking at the back of the emperor striding forward, the queen sighed, this is her luck, but also her tragedy.
