The Job of an Imperial Concubine

Feng Jin spent the whole morning with Zhuang Luoyan, and stayed for lunch at noon.

Seeing that Zhao Chongyi obviously couldn't eat, but reluctantly swallowed the soup because he brought it with his own hands, his heart softened a bit, he put down the silver chopsticks and said: "If you don't want to use it, just let the Shangshi Bureau prepare more food today." Some fruit and vegetable snacks." After finishing speaking, he sent a young eunuch beside him to the Shangshi Bureau to pass on the word of mouth.

"Your majesty, my concubine is fine, but I don't have much appetite, and I will be fine soon," Zhuang Luoyan tried to make herself smile naturally, "The emperor once led a thousand elite soldiers to suppress thousands of mountain bandits and was invincible. Small things make cowardice useless.”

"I'm a man, so I naturally want to fight for the people," Feng Jin said with a smile, "It doesn't matter if my daughter's family is weaker."

"But the concubine is the emperor's woman." Zhuang Luoyan looked at Feng Jin seriously, "Even if I don't have to fight the world, at least I don't want the emperor to be distracted by the concubine when he is busy with government affairs."

Feng Jin laughed, she was such a cute and silly woman, to him, the women in the harem were nothing more than an adjustment, how much would it affect him if he was happy or sad? But facing her serious eyes, Feng Jin still said softly in his heart: "You think about me, I am very pleased and very happy." After saying this, he saw a smile on the woman's face Unexpectedly, for a while, I couldn't bear to face this truth.

Zhuang Luoyan smiled gently, and picked out a chopstick dish for the emperor: "The emperor is gratified, it is my concubine's luck."

"You don't give in at all," Feng Jin held up his chopsticks and ate his dish, "I said these words because I was waiting for me to praise you."

"As the saying goes, the emperor speaks a lot, and the emperor praises the concubine so much, it is naturally true. How can the concubine not accept it, let alone every sentence from the heart, what is it for?" Zhuang Luoyan tilted her head and smiled at Feng Jin , the slightly pale face suddenly came alive.

Looking at her delicate appearance, Feng Jin couldn't help but smile a little, shook his head and said: "It can be seen that some daughters' families can't be praised or favored."

"The concubine is your woman. If the emperor doesn't favor you, then no one will favor you." Zhuang Luoyan took back the hand that was originally outstretched with the soup, "Since the emperor said that about the concubine, the concubine will not accompany you to eat. A concubine cannot be favored or praised."

"It's hard to say now," Feng Jin put down his chopsticks, scooped up the man, hugged him to his lap, and patted Zhuang Luorou's buttocks lightly, "But he managed to beat him."

"Your Majesty!" Zhuang Luoyan hugged Feng Jin's waist with her backhand, twisted the flesh around the emperor's waist, and then proudly raised her head to look at the emperor.

Feng Jin looked at her like this, although her waist was pinched a little, but she was still in a good mood and continued to hug her on her knees, and said with a smile: "I know today, my concubine can't be provoked, scolded, beaten , can only be boasted and pampered."

Zhuang Luoyan groaned in her heart, I still know today that you love others to twist and toss to make you feel comfortable.

Gao Dezhong stood in the corner with his eyelids crossed, and occasionally glanced at the almost untouched meal on the table. The beauty was in his arms, so beautiful and delicious. Whether he eats it or not, the emperor will not be hungry today.

But Zhao Chongyi was really frightened out of his wits, the twisting of the emperor made him feel pain, and he didn't know how the emperor endured it.

It didn't take much for a meal, but in the end Feng Jin was still very satisfied mentally, and there was a smile on his face when he left.

Watching the emperor leave, Zhuang Luoyan rubbed his belly and poured down two bowls of bitter juice, who can drink any tonic soup?

Swinging away the other palace attendants and leaning back on the beauty's couch, Zhuang Luoyan half-closed her eyes and looked at the pot of water lilies on the flower stand. Who is plotting against her like this?

Concubine Xian seemed to be on the same side as the Empress, even Concubine Yan Gui could tolerate it, so there should be no need to have trouble with her at this moment. A woman like Concubine Shu should think of a more vicious method and would not use this method to deal with it. As for Concubine Ning, Xu Zhaorong, and Ye Shurong, who have no conflict of interest with her, they should not spend energy inexplicably dealing with her.

An old fox like the queen mother would not use this method to deal with him, not to mention that he didn't look like the empress dowager's key target.

After thinking for a long time, Zhuang Luoyan yawned, called the maid to fan herself, and fell asleep lazily.

After Feng Jin returned to the palace, he did not review the memorial immediately, but wrote down the names of several vacant palaces, and finally ticked off a palace that was ventilated to the sun.

"I pass on my decree that Zhao Chongyi is now in the third rank, and it is not appropriate to live in Taoyu Pavilion again. Now I give Xihe Palace as Zhao Chongyi's bedroom. The Shangshe Bureau will choose the nearest auspicious day to be responsible for Zhao Chongyi's relocation." Feng Jin announced the end of the decree. , let Gao Dezhong pass it on.

It seems that the emperor was really angry this time, and he didn't even discuss with the queen, which shows how dissatisfied he is with this murder.

"The emperor actually gave the Xihe Palace to Zhao Chongyi?!" Concubine Xian frowned, and carefully glanced at the queen, "Empress, this Zhao Chongyi is too favored." In the main palaces, Although the Xihe Palace is not big, it is very exquisitely built, and it is closer to the Emperor's Qianzheng Palace than Taoyu Pavilion.

"Where did the emperor give the palace to Zhao Chongyi?" The queen didn't say a word, but the emperor bypassed himself by giving the palace, wouldn't it be an expression of dissatisfaction?

It would be fine if there was a court lady hanged outside the Taoyu Pavilion, but she was struck to death by lightning, and now there are servants in the palace who say that they are blessed by heaven, and those servants who were struck to death by lightning deserve to die. If it was in the past, she would never allow such remarks in the harem, but the emperor personally sent someone to Chonghua Temple to donate sesame oil money in the name of Zhao Chongyi's blessing from heaven, "Zhao Chongyi was shocked, that Taoyu I can't live in the pavilion, so I should move to another place."

Concubine Xian could probably guess the empress' concerns and mood, nodded her head and said: "That's right, if such a big incident happened, it wouldn't be considered favoritism for her to change her place of residence."

The queen smiled bitterly, how could this Zhao Chongyi, who had never been seen in the past, dote on the harem, how could it be possible to skyrocket overnight, the emperor is clearly telling the schemer, the more you scheme, the one he favors, the emperor has always had such a temper, What can she say?

"Xihe Palace, what a Xihe Palace!" Zhuang Jieyu abruptly broke off the flaws in her hands, black ink was dripping on the back of her white hands, she took two deep breaths, "Get water."

Xie Yu looked at Zhuang Jieyu worriedly, cleaned up the things on the table, and whispered: "Master, getting angry will hurt your body."

Zhuang Jieyu snorted coldly: "She is the only one with such good luck."

"I guess...it's a coincidence." Xie Yu poured a cup of tea and put it on the table, "Besides, it's better for Zhao Chongyi to be favored than your opponent. Anyway, she also depends on her surname when she acts."

"If she valued the surname, she wouldn't have done those stupid things when she entered the palace." Zhuang Jieyu picked up the teacup, recalling the past, how could she still drink tea, and put the teacup on the table, "Now If you get two points of favor, you can pretend to be a virtuous person."

Seeing Zhuang Jieyu like this, Xie Yu, who is a servant, would dare to persuade her again, but thinking of the other masters in the palace, she only sighed in her heart, entering this harem, only rivals and sisters.

The masters of the palaces were surprised to say nothing about Zhao Chongyi's change of residence. They just sent a lot of gifts to Taoyu Pavilion under the banner of shocking Zhao Chongyi. Even the queen mother gave a hundred-year-old The old ginseng seemed to have no opinion on this matter.

Zhuang Luoyan herself was a little surprised, she could have expected that the emperor would move her, but she didn't expect to be moved to the first palace, and it was her main palace, which was really unexpected. This Xihe Palace is quite precious just because of its name. The word Xihe means very auspicious, and it is not far from Qianzheng Palace, which shows its preciousness.

That night, the emperor sat in Taoyu Pavilion for more than half an hour before getting up and going back to Qianzheng Palace. Zhuang Luoyan was also glad that he didn't stay overnight, if it was given to the palace and stayed overnight, even if the empress is really virtuous, she might be dissatisfied with herself.

On the imperial chariot, Feng Jin was playing with the jade pendant in his hand, seeing Gao Dezhong with his head buried beside the chariot, he asked, "Gao Dezhong, which concubine do you think I should entrust the Third Prince to take care of?"

Gao Dezhong didn't dare to answer this question, so he could only say: "Your Majesty, the third prince is still young, and he looks very attractive, any empress would like it."

"Let's hand over the child to Concubine Xian first, I see that the First Prince is taking care of her very well," Feng Jin tapped the jade pendant lightly, and you will deliver the decree tomorrow morning. "

"Yes, Your Majesty." Gao Dezhong couldn't figure out what the Emperor was thinking, but Concubine Xian was indeed a good candidate.

As soon as the decree came out on the second day, Concubine Xian was the object of envy and jealousy of the concubines in the harem, but thinking about her qualifications, although she was unwilling, she could only smile and say congratulations.

Zhuang Luoyan is not very interested in raising other people's children, besides, this child is only in foster care, and it is not registered. When he grows up, he will not know who his biological mother is. The so-called blood is thicker than water, with a biological mother, there will be some gaps between the adoptive mother and the child.

When greeting the queen, the queen did not embarrass herself, and Zhuang Luoyan was relieved and secretly vigilant. If the queen satirized her a few words at this moment, she would have listened to it. But the queen is still virtuous, which shows that she has deep thoughts and can bear it.

The more tolerant the person, the more ruthless the schemes are. She didn't want to be the one in the queen's schemes, nor did she want to be against the queen.

The queen was still a bit resentful at first, but seeing Zhao Chongyi's cautious and fearful appearance, she felt that the resentment had subsided a bit. Although Zhao Chongyi was a bit smart, it was only so much, and she didn't need to worry about it. The energy is on such a plaything.

Looking across Concubine Shu Gui and Concubine Rou, the Empress' expression remained unchanged, these two women are the masters of unfailing grace.
