The Job of an Imperial Concubine

The so-called serving ink is actually nothing more than grinding and pouring tea in the imperial study, naturally there is no so-called red sleeves adding fragrance, Feng Jin is a reliable emperor. The so-called reliability means that political affairs and laughter can be separated. In his eyes, women can be used as entertainment and toys, but when dealing with political affairs, women are dispensable in his eyes. At least she has been in the imperial study for so long , and did not see the emperor give her a lingering look.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Su, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, is asking to see you." Gao Dezhong walked in and announced in a low voice.

Zhuang Luoyan heard the words, glanced at Feng Jin, and found that he intended to summon this Master Su, so she consciously put down the book in her hand, turned and went to the inner room behind the screen.

"Let him come in," Feng Jin threw the notebook aside, and after looking at the screen, his tone was flat.

I don't know if Master Su, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, has any relationship with Concubine Shu? Zhuang Luoyan looked at the inner room. The objects inside were very regular, neither luxurious nor too delicate. It was too much like an emperor's inner room, but he felt a little boring.

The voice of conversation outside could be faintly transmitted to the inner room, and Zhuang Luoyan didn't have the heart to listen to it. For her, knowing more would not be a good thing, but when she suddenly heard Zhuang Qingzhi's name, she felt that Something is wrong, this Su Shilang seems to be suing, and this Zhuang Qingzhi is her half-brother?

"Su Aiqing, is there any evidence for what you said?" Feng Jin looked at Su Konglan who was kneeling below with a calm expression, and slowly closed the memorial in his hand, making it impossible to see which side he believed more in.

"I dare not slander Lord Zhuang." Su Konglan just raised his head slightly, seeing the calm expression on the emperor's face, he quickly lowered his head, and a lot of sweat broke out on his forehead.

"I know, I will send someone to investigate this matter thoroughly, you should step back."

"Wei Chen will leave."

The outside became quiet again, and Zhuang Luoyan sat quietly in the inner room for more than half an hour before the eunuch asked her to continue serving. When she went out, there was still no expression on Feng Jin's face, as if the Zhuang Qingzhi mentioned just now was not her brother, and the one who sued was not the brother of Concubine Shu, her heart skipped a beat, such a deep-minded emperor is the most terrifying , She said how the emperor had the heart to come to such a red sleeve to add fragrance, but she was chosen because she had no interest in poetry, so she was waiting for her here.

It's just that the emperor is doing this to warn the dealer, or is he trying to stir up conflicts between the Zhuang and Su families? Although Zhuang Luoyan was able to play tricks, she didn't have the confidence to play political tricks.

When they walked outside, Zhuang Luoyan looked at the emperor with a normal face, with a look of embarrassment on his face: "Your Majesty..."

"Recently, an imperial chef from the Shu region has come to the palace. My concubine has always loved delicious food. Let's have a meal with me later." Feng Jin smiled, as if he didn't see the expression on Zhuang Luorou's face. As if in embarrassment, he put the folder in his hand aside.

Zhuang Luoyan saluted, "I thank the emperor for the reward."

"Um."

The imperial study room fell into silence again.

The air in Shu is humid, so most of the dishes they cook are spicy. Fortunately, Zhuang Luoyan is a person who has experienced the influence of extremely spicy hot pot. The Shu dishes that the palace specially takes care of the dragon's stomach are nothing.

Feng Jin looked at the woman who was sitting and eating in peace. Zhuang Luoyan's reaction satisfied him. He wasn't particularly smart, but he wouldn't be upset because of his mother's family affairs. If he entered this palace, he should naturally belong to the emperor. A woman, a concubine who only plans for her natal family, no matter how beautiful and intelligent she is, it is impossible for her to get too much favor from him.

All men and women in the world are selfish. Men always want women to devote themselves wholeheartedly to him, while women always want men to devote themselves wholeheartedly to themselves. Unfortunately, this world is not always perfect. Feng Jin is an emperor, a special man, he has more things than other men, and naturally demands more than other men.

Zhuang Luoyan understands the mentality of this kind of man, so she is happy to put on the mentality of a stupid woman in front of the emperor that the emperor is more important than her own family. She also wants to understand. Since Feng Jin let her hear the words of the Su family, at least it shows that he It doesn't mean to move the Zhuang family.

In the job of being a concubine, the treatment is actually very good, but it's a bit of a hassle, and the boss is a little hard to figure it out, so she can barely bear it.

Feng Jin was satisfied, and his mood naturally improved. When he was in a better mood, Zhuang Luoyan naturally stayed in the emperor's palace to sleep that night.

The emperor summoned Zhao Chongyi to serve Mo, and gave her to share the imperial meal. The news of leaving her to serve at night spread to all the palaces that night. Some were jealous, and some were indifferent. But such a night, in the harem, is another Ordinary.

After the second watch, Zhuang Luoyan opened her eyes, and just about to get up, she was held down by a warm palm.

"Where are you going?"

"Your majesty, I should go to the side hall." As a concubine, if it weren't for the emperor's grace, she would not be able to spend the whole night on the dragon bed after serving in the emperor's palace.

"No need, go to sleep." Feng Jin pressed the quilt on Zhuang Luoyan's body, his tone was sleepy, "I have to go to bed early tomorrow, so don't bother."

Zhuang Luoyan looked at the emperor who had no eyes, and said yes softly, and then lay still. It was really tossing to lie together in this weather, holding the corner of the quilt in her hand, twisting the quilt for the emperor, and closing her eyes .

After she closed her eyes, Feng Jin opened them. If Zhuang Luoyan saw it, she would definitely say with emotion, "This is the complicated eyes of the male protagonists in the legend."

Opening her eyes, Zhuang Luoyan's still not sober mind quickly realized the golden auspicious cloud and dragon pattern on the tent. This is the emperor's bedroom. She blinked her eyes and turned to look at the person lying beside her. And the people around him opened their eyes very quickly, and there was no charming scene of four eyes expressing affection, because these eyes were too calm and waveless, so that Zhuang Luoyan could not see much emotion.

"Your Majesty," Zhuang Luoyan smiled, her eyes were full of satisfaction after embracing her beloved man all night.

"Did you sleep well last night?" Feng Jin sat up, and outside the tent, palace maids and eunuchs filed in, helping him to dress and shoes.

Zhuang Luoyan looked at his back, "At first I thought I wouldn't be able to sleep well, but then I slept well."

"Oh?" Feng Jin took the silk scarf handed over by the court lady, turned around and looked at Zhuang Luoyan who had already got off the bed, with an ambiguous smile on his face, "Indeed."

Shyly lowering her head, Zhuang Luoyan looked at the shiny floor tiles under her feet, the corners of her mouth were slightly curved, as expected of an emperor, a born actor and a lover.

I used to watch TV, and I always felt that those actors who played the emperor were very pitiful, because the dragon robe was just a sight to look at, but today Zhuang Luoyan really touched the dragon robe, only to find that the workmanship is very delicate, smooth to the touch, I don’t know the process It took a lot of processing to make such a dragon robe. It seems that there is a reason why she didn't like watching those messy TV dramas before.

After sending the emperor off, Zhuang Luoyan took the maids beside her to the queen's bedroom.

Greetings as usual, the queen is the same as usual, and Concubine Shugui did not show anything special, but Zhuang Luoyan doesn't believe that she will not know anything about her family's plan to deal with the Zhuang clan, which shows the scheming and forbearance of this woman.

After leaving the Queen's Palace, the weather was gray and it seemed that it was going to rain, Zhuang Luorou frowned. Rain in this season is cold and wet, which is really not a good thing.

"What's the matter with Zhao Chongyi? She was frowning so early in the morning." Ma Jieyu approached slowly, raised her eyebrows and said, "Could it be that my sister made the Emperor unhappy?"

"Ma Jieyu always speculates about these things," Zhuang Luoyan smiled.

Just when Ma Jieyu thought that Zhuang Luoyan would reveal it again, Zhuang Luoyan's face suddenly changed, and there was no smile on her face, "Who gave you such a right to interrogate me as a little Jieyu?" As for matters with the emperor, this harem is under the management of the empress, so what do you have to do with you, Jieyu, there are really no rules."

Ma Jieyu's face froze, and she felt a little timid, but she thought that there were several other concubines standing beside her, and she couldn't get off the stage for a while, so she forced herself to say: "Could it be that what I said hit my mind, and sister Zhao Chongyi became angry from embarrassment. gone."

"Presumptuous, Ma Jieyu really has no words and deeds. Although I have a high position, I can't let you, a Jieyu, humiliate me." Zhuang Luo sternly said, "Listen to bamboo, slap your mouth!"

"How dare you..." Before Ma Jieyu could finish her words, Tingzhu's slap had already landed heavily on her face. She wanted to curse, but when she looked up, she saw Zhuang Luoyan's cold eyes.

"Ma Jieyu, today is different from the past, you are too unruly, the servant has offended you." Ting Zhu slapped Ma Jieyu backhandedly, and retreated behind Zhuang Luoyan.

Today is different?

Ma Jieyu looked at Zhuang Luoyan's cold and stern eyes, and remembered her attitude towards Zhuang Luoyan when she lost power, the panic in her heart almost overwhelmed her, she staggered, and was supported by the maid behind her to barely stand still.

"Go back to the palace." Zhuang Luoyan turned around and got on the chariot without looking at her.

"Respectfully send off Zhao Chongyi." The other low-ranking concubines watched the excitement, and after Zhuang Luoyan left, they all looked at Ma Jieyu mockingly, as if they were watching a joke.

On the other side, Zhuang Jieyu's expression was very ugly. I don't know if Zhuang Luoyan's little Jieyu only scolded Ma Jieyu, or scolded her again?

"Empress, just now Zhao Chongyi had someone slap Ma Jieyu's mouth in front of several people." He Yu didn't expect that Zhao Chongyi, who had recently kept a low profile, suddenly became domineering again.

"Ma Jieyu has never been disciplined, so it's not surprising that Zhao Chongyi punished her," the queen's face remained unchanged, "not to mention that I heard that Su Shilang participated in the dealer's book yesterday."

"Yesterday wasn't it..." He Yu woke up suddenly, didn't Zhao Chongyi serve Mo in front of the imperial court yesterday, no wonder he was in a bad mood today, and Ma Jieyu bumped into this wall.

"Young girls are always a little restless." The queen looked out the window, "That's all. Since Ma Jieyu violated the palace rules, she will be fined for half a year."

"Yes." He Yu bowed his head and retreated, this Ma Jieyu is not favored now, Dianzhong Province has always neglected her, and now she is fined by the master for half a year, the future life will be even more difficult. It's just that such an ignorant person should have ended up like this a long time ago, but it's the master's kindness that sent her off lightly today.

The news of Zhao Chongyi's palming on Ma Jieyu soon spread throughout the palace, causing the concubines to think a lot.

"It's just to vent my anger." Concubine Shu smiled indifferently, took the bait and threw it into the blue and white fish tank in front of her, watching the golden fish eagerly withdraw the bait, and smiled even more gently, "Greedy things, So restless."

In the afternoon, it finally started to rain, before night fell, the sky darkened, Gao Dezhong led a group of uterine eunuchs to light the candles in the palace, seeing that the emperor was still reading the scriptures, he retreated to the side.

"I heard that Zhao Chongyi punished Ma Jieyu today?" the emperor asked suddenly.

Gao Dezhong was slightly stunned and said: "Go back to the emperor, the slave has heard about it."

Feng Jin smiled, and there was no displeasure in his expression, "She is not happy today, so she rewarded the Ruyi Xiangyun hairpin presented by Hongdu Kingdom a few days ago. Her hair is green and soft, which is perfect."

Gao Dezhong knew in his heart who this "she" was referring to, so he agreed softly.

A concubine who knows current affairs like Zhao Chongyi, but is not deep enough in scheming and has a heart for the emperor is the most satisfied concubine in the emperor's mind. If she really doesn't show any emotion, she will have a terrible temperament.

But most of the women in the harem are like this, Zhao Chongyi is always tender, fortunately the emperor likes her like this, otherwise let alone a reward today, I'm afraid she will be blamed.

Just when Gao Dezhong was about to step down, the emperor before the case spoke again.

"Ma Jieyu's words and deeds are insignificant, and she violated her honor, so she will be reduced to a talented person to teach a lesson."

"Yes." Gao Dezhong looked up at the emperor, and seeing that he had nothing to say, he quietly retreated.
